Rotator Cuff Injury
Part 1. You must create either a PowerPoint presentation/ Prezi or video discussing an injury. This injury has come from your outline from previous assignments.
You will discuss:
What is the injury
structures involved
Mechanism of Injury (how injury occurs)
what structures are injured, both primary structures and secondary structures.. for example: MCL injury may have meniscus injury, and probably muscle injury
and discuss the rehabilitation protocol… What must you consider in terms of safety in this program? Does age or gender influence rehabilitation? What are the
typical protocols?
What exercises will you start with and why? Are there alternative exercises if the person does not want to perform the one’s you chose due to pain?
Then just ahead to just before you suggest they are returned to activity and play. Provide information on how you would determine if they can return to activity. What
functions will you be expecting them to have?
Historical Speech Review
The ability to recognize and explain the elements of the communication process is the beginning of truly understanding how to prepare for and deliver effective oral
presentations. When we are able to recognize the elements of the communication process, we are then able to think more critically about the other factors involved in
the effective delivery of oral presentations.
For this assignment, you will view a historical speech (see below) and explain how the speech uses each of the elements of the communication process identified in
Chapter 1 of the textbook.

Provide information on how to perform the movement correctly.
This is to be determined by researching how to do it properly, not using your personal experience. Correct movements must be described using proper industry and
biomechanical terms. This correct movement should be showcased in the movement of your first subject – the Expert/Professional
Peer reviewed journal research will be conducted on how to perform the movement and are your primary sources for this project. Videos are supplementary sources and are
usually the result of the research articles.
How to do the movement properly will come from industry leaders.
For example, there are videos on how to dive correctly produced by Stanford Diving, MLB will produce videos on how to hit a baseball, WNBA will produce instructional
videos on a jump shot. USA Volleyball or the IFVB will produce lectures on spiking form. YouTube videos or other videos from the Internet can be used to assist you
with this portion of the project as long as they are from an industry leader in the sport.
*** If you have trouble accessing research articles through our library – not a simple Internet search – let me know, I will contact the library for assistance with
journals we currently do not have access to. *** If you cannot find 3-5 articles on your movement, it may be too specific, and you may want to look for another
movement in a different sport or within the same sport.
After gathering your movement information, you will observe and record two people performing the movement, an Expert/Pro and a Novice/Beginner. If you do not have the
ability to personally record an Expert/Pro or a Novice/Beginner, then a video recorded by an outside party will be accepted. Describe the movement you observed in
biomechanical terms.
Your Novice/Beginner subject can be an athlete from another sport who wants to learn this movement or an amateur in the sport you are observing.
I recommend video taping the movement. A great App to do this is called Coach’s Eye. It allows you to break down a performance frame by frame. Also, it allows you to
place lines and draw angles directly onto the video.
30 seconds of video is all that is necessary. This time frame of video is easily transferred from device to device. Consecutive still shots are also acceptable but
must showcase movement clearly and must be able to be analyzed frame by frame.
(If you are deployed or have limited access to technology, contact me as to the best way to perform this task).
After observing the Novice/Beginner compare and contrast their performance, in biomechanical terms, with that of the industry standard of performance and that of your
Expert/Pro (see ESPN’s Sports Science guy videos for examples of a breakdown analysis).
You will not make recommendations for your subject to improve their performance.
Recommendations for sport specific improvements are not within the area of expertise of this course. These types of recommendations are only applicable if they come
from industry trained professionals. For example, in USA volleyball there are three levels of coaching certification. Only coaches with an IMPACT training CAP I
certification are approved as “knowing the basic instructional methods” as recommended by USA volleyball. You can direct your subject to the industry standards but
refrain from offering to coach. You are the research gatherer only not the coach. The subject can take your analysis and do with it what they want. You may desire to
write down their reaction to your biomechanical analysis and how the analysis will cause them to adjust their approach to the skill.
Formatting
Your paper should have at least 3-5 peer reviewed journal references and 3-5 outside sources, to assist with your arguments (must be reputable sources for your sport).
Please see description in class for the rubric.
Plagiarism in any form is not acceptable. Plagiarism is subject to current APUS policies.
Gather the data and place it in your own words… cite the ideas that come from others (Johnson, 2013). If it is a “direct quotation, and I suggest you use these
sparingly” (para.3), be sure to place a page or paragraph number directly after the quotation (Johnson, 2013). “If the direct quote is your whole sentence, then apply
the page or paragraph number, for a web page, at the end of the in text citation after the year” (Johnson, 2013, p.5). Periods go after the in text citation.
Your required course paper should be between 8-10 pages in length. The title page or reference pages are not included in this number. The paper should be presented in
APA format and double spaced.

Perform a formal Driving Forces Analysis (DFA) based on the process contained in this week’s reading. Choose an industry and clearly explain the following:
Clearly identify the driving forces. Separate them into more / less important or relevant causes of change in the industry
Determine the impact of each force on the industry – which force(s) has(have) the greatest impact on the industry.
Be sure to adequately explain the ‘how’ and ‘why’ behind your rationale.
Finance
Overview: In the first milestone, you prepared a client analysis. In this milestone, you will create the stock analysis and portfolio development sections of your
final project.
First, you must understand what you are investing in. You have to know the underlying characteristics of the investment. What type of asset is it? What type of
security? How is it priced? What are the expected cash flows? Who are the typical investors and what are their typical motives? If you do not understand the answers to
those questions, then the initial expectations you develop about the value and risk of the asset will be fundamentally flawed. This sets you up for missteps that can
lead to underperforming your investment objectives.
Second, you must be able to estimate the value of the asset. Valuation is about assessing the estimated cash flows of the asset. This is a key component of discerning
absolute return potential and the differences between competing assets. It has a significant influence on the third step in the process as well.
The third step is developing a thesis about an asset’s expected return and the associated risk. This is accomplished by assessing your valuation estimates against the
current market price and any developing economic or market dynamics that may impact your expected valuation or its pricing. The market is constantly changing, and
these expectations need to be monitored on a regular basis to ensure they continue to correspond to the objectives you are trying to achieve.
Finally, you must understand how the assets in a portfolio interact with one another. It is likely that you will not have just one investment, so any additional assets
will impact the overall performance of the portfolio. You want to formulate a plan to add assets that, when combined together, will have the potential to meet your
objectives. Putting all of these steps together into a consistent, thorough process will position you to better meet the investment objectives laid out at the
beginning.
Prompt: This milestone involves creating a draft of the stock analysis and portfolio development sections of the final project. Use the provided Portfolio Standard
Deviation spreadsheet to calculate your portfolio’s standard deviation and please refer to the Final Project Scenarios document as needed.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
II. Stock Analysis: In this section, you will select five stocks from the provided list and determine their values by applying an appropriate valuation model from the
following options: price to multiple model (earning or sales), dividend valuation model, or free cash flow model.
Determine the value of each stock by using an appropriate model based on the characteristics provided for each stock; use each model at least once.
Provide a rationale for the stock valuation method you chose for each stock. Cite specific information to support your decisions.
Using the calculated valuation, the current market price, and historical performance, determine the expected return for each stock.

III. Portfolio Development: In this section, you will develop a portfolio for both clients based on their risk tolerance, return objectives, and liquidity objectives.
You will select appropriate assets from the provided list.
For each client, develop a portfolio from the list of assets provided that is informed by your analysis of each client’s objectives and (if applicable) the stock
valuation you determined.
For each portfolio, calculate the expected portfolio return using the CAPM (beta) model.
For each portfolio, calculate the expected portfolio standard deviation.

Guidelines for Submission: Your client analysis should a 4- to 6-page Microsoft Word document, double spaced, with 12-pt. Times New Roman font, one-inch
margins, and citations cited in APA format. Note that your submission may be longer than 6 pages if you need to show numerous calculations and work.

solutions to these challenges/issues
ntrepreneurship is the process of starting new businesses, generally in response to opportunities. For instance, Fred Carl, founder of the Viking Range Corporation,
saw an opportunity to create an appliance that combined the best features of commercial and residential ranges. Many people think entrepreneurial ventures and small
businesses are the same, but they are not. Entrepreneurs create entrepreneurial ventures-organizations that pursue opportunities, are characterized by innovative
practices, and have growth and profitability as their main goals. Examining entrepreneurship from the perspective of the four managerial functions: planning,
organizing, leading and controlling:
What are the challenges faced by entrepreneurs? What are some solutions to these challenges/issues? (2-4 pages)
Students will complete a written assignment designed to test their knowledge of motivation and communication techniques. The problem will present a dilemma that
students must resolve. In so doing they will need to offer solutions and strategies. They will be evaluated on their overall understanding of the topic matter and
their ability to link the issues presented to relevant course material. They will also be evaluated on their ability to offer effective solutions to the issue or
dilemma presented.

General Information:
For thirteen years Joe Football has been the star quarterback for the Birmingham
Bulldozers, one of the most fabled and successful teams in the Major Football League
the largest and most viewed football league in the country. Although still very, , , , _ V _ A
successful and a Hall of Fame contender for sure (last year Football led his team to a
Super Bowl championship), this year the Bulldozers decided not to renew Football’s
contract. Football is now 31 years of age, and the team decided it needed to develop new
stars and that it did not want to risk the chance that Football would become injured while
the team is tethered to a new long term commitment.
Joe Football wants to continue his athletic career. He enjoys the limelight and he
can use the money. He has an expensive life style, and more important, his son has a rare
and serious medical condition that could require hundreds of thousands of dollars in
medical treatment, lifetime home care, and extensive rehabilitation. Furthermore,
continued favorable media exposure is also very irnportant to Joe. He is well spoken and
presentable and following retirement, he would like to pursue careers as a sports
announcer, team executive, and/or product endorser for major brands. If he can continue
a successful playing career, his marketability will only increase.
Upon hearing of his release, several teams made overtures to Joe Football but
there are no concrete offers from anyone. The main concern appears to be about his
physical condition – can he continue to be an effective quarterback for the next few
years?
OThe Philadelphia Pretzels, in particular, have lost the last three national
championships to the Bulldozers and have expressed interest in speaking with Joe
Football. Football is also interested because Philadelphia is a major television and media

drugs and behavior
First, read the following article:
Johnston, L. D., O’Malley, P. M., R. A. Miech; Bachman, J. G., and Schulenberg, J. E. (2015). Monitoring the future national results on adolescent drug use: 2015
Overview of key findings on adolescent drug use. Ann Arbor: Institute for Social Research, the University of Michigan. Retrieved from
http://www.monitoringthefuture.org/pubs/monographs/mtf-overview2015.pdf (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
If you have trouble linking to this article above, this article is also available In the Resources section of your Modules list, down at the bottom, entitled “Reading
for Week 6 Paper: Johnston et al., Monitoring the Future.pdf”
The Johnston et al. article is a long one, but there are a lot of graphs and reading is very interesting. Don’t wait to read this at the last minute.
This activity calls you to reflect on your present occupation or expected career and use the knowledge provided in the Johnston et al. (2015) article to describe the
kinds of issues or problems you have faced, you are facing now, or will be facing. You can do this regardless of your specific occupation or career goals. You may
take the perspective of a parent, retail worker, teacher, probation officer, police officer, or whatever. Address the questions:
What challenges do you anticipate facing from the use and abuse of drugs in your future (or present) position? Consider your work environment.
How can you be better prepared to meet those challenges?
List three things that you learned from this article that you will perhaps “take with you” after this class is over. That is, information you’re likely to remember?
Elaborate here. Don’t be superficial. Supply some details
In addition, find at least one academic journal article published in the last 15 years that relates to some aspect of the Johnston et al. (2015) article. Describe how
this journal article relates or sheds light on any issue, or assertion, or conclusion that you read in Johnston et al. (2015). Remember, let the reader know you read
the full-text article, and not merely a summary; elaborate, provide some details from your academic journal article.
