A developer is looking into the possibility of constructing a sports complex on a plot of land next to the Roundhouse campus of Derby College. At present the details are very limited but information is being forwarded on a daily basis. The preliminary information available to date is as follows.
The sports complex will comprise a swimming pool (complete with a high diving board), squash courts, gym and sports hall equipped for a variety of activities. There will be a cafe area and kitchen, in addition to a number of rooms equipped for lectures. There will also be the associated changing rooms and showers.
It is expected that the building will comprise of a ground and first floor. The design team has advised you that the structure will be a steel frame with reinforced concrete foundations.
This proposed site is an unusual shape, being an irregular quadrilateral (truncated triangle) with maximum dimensions of, approximately, 185m x 235m and an area of approximately 2.95ha. The site is bounded by a small recreation area owned by Derby City Council, a busy road through a residential area, the access road to the college and one of the college’s car-parks.
Even though details are very sketchy, the developer is committed to an environmentally friendly design to comply with the ethos of the City Council’s planning department.

FORENSIC BIOLOGY
2nd ed.
RICHARD LI
Carl and Joseph were in the woods of Georgia in early fall. They had set up a camp because they were both deer hunters. In the fall of years when the weather is cooler, deer are very prevalent. On this cool November morning, the men were walking through the woods in their quest for deer. On the second day of being in the woods, walking through what was really thick brush and uneven terrain, one of the men slipped and fell into what appeared to be a covering of a hole in the ground. As he began to try and pull himself out, he saw several skulls and bones lying around. He immediately screamed for his friend, who assisted him in getting out of the hole. Together, they looked in and saw skeletons and what appeared to be a decomposing body.
The two men called the local police. The police arrived, secured the area, and called for the forensic team to come and investigate. You are the forensic person that has been asked to identify the 5 skeletons in the grave and the body that was only partially decomposed.

This essay should be submitted via the module blackboard site. You are expected to understand the university regulation on academic offence. The rules on late submission and plagiarism are applied and fully enforced by the school.
Key Marking Criteria:
Extra Notes
This Link is for the UK banks that you should chose one from
It has to be one from the list in the link above.
You should measure data for risk and Performance and risk ratio. Just for one bank. And an old established bank as you will need data from 2014.
You should only write 100 words about Brexit not more.
These should be before June 2016 when Brexit was announced. So, you should analyse from 2014-2016 as the before period. Then from 2016-2019 to analyse the after effect. To see any impact from Brexit. You should analyse any impact on performance and risk.
Performance can be from profitability using ratio using return on equity ratio. And special measurements from net interest margins. And also, the market share of the bank. Credit risk and interest risk also.
SO there has to be two ratios for performance and two ratios for risk they should be used to show the before and the after. And their financial reports can show why they have made a loss for example. And mention the bank name.
Objective 2: Explain the statutory requirements for reporting suspected child abuse or neglect.
Every state has a statute that requires many professionals to report suspected child abuse and neglect and the counseling profession is one of them. In fact, counselors often report and engage in these cases, often collaborating with other government professionals, to ensure the best case scenario for children involved. However, these mutual efforts can put confidentiality, a key component to the counseling relationship, at risk. Here you will gain an awareness of what counselors can do in these cases and how often the need to protect children is much more important than ensured confidentiality, something anyone who desires to protect children can relate to. You will relate to the challenges of making such reports and potential counseling relationship stressors as well.
Learning Activity #3: Reporting Paper
Review Chapter 9 of your Remley and Herlihy textbook.
Write a two to three page paper explaining the general statutory requirements for reporting suspected child abuse or neglect.
To achieve maximum points for content and analysis, the following elements need to be thoroughly addressed:
What are the general ethical duty and statutory requirements for counselors when it comes to reporting child abuse or neglect?
What is Ohio’s statutory for reporting child abuse or neglect? You will need to seek an outside reference here. You can search the internet for this one and/or obtain an article/book of your choice from the library (be sure to cite and reference it).
As you know, school violence is on the rise. What are steps counselors can take to ethically report threats as well as prevent bullying and harassment of children? What might be some complications in this area?
What if a counselor in any setting (school, private practice, agency, etc.) suspects a child is not telling the truth about being abused? What steps can the counselor take to ensure the child in question is still safe?
Summarize your overall impressions of mandatory reporting for child abuse and neglect.

For this final project, you will write a 6- to 10-page paper in which you research and analyze the market for a product or service produced by the company you work for, or by some other company that you know well. The paper will need to be in APA format. Throughout the paper, you will need to provide careful economic analysis of your chosen market using the economics concepts from the course. As a starting point, you should expect your audience to be familiar with these concepts, so there is no need to define basic concepts. Instead, demonstrate your understanding of the concepts by applying them competently. Your goal should be to teach us about this company or industry. the emphasis must be on the economic analysis and readers should be able to learn something not easily discovered. Please make sure to answer every question within each section listed below:
What is the general market structure for your industry? Is it best thought of as a monopoly, oligopoly, or monopolistic competition? What characteristics suggest this is one market or another? Is the price high enough to cover costs and do there appear to be above-normal profits? Is the market structure changing over time or expected to? What are the important barriers to entry?
What is the relevant cost structure for the industry and for your firm? How does your company avoid the sunk-cost fallacy and hidden-cost fallacy? What labor market skill sets are needed for your company and are there readily available workers to hire? What does the market for important inputs look like? Does your company have many or few options from which to source important inputs? Is the hold-up problem a concern? Are there economies of scale? Are there economies of scope or diseconomies of scope? Are there large fixed costs? How do the variable costs compare to the fixed costs in terms of relative size?
Is your firm able to practice price discrimination? What form of price discrimination is most relevant in this industry and are there other opportunities that your firm has not yet taken, and why? Remember, there is a difference between price differences caused by cost differences! If price discrimination is possible, how is your firm able to accomplish this effectively? Are there opportunities to enhance your firm’s ability to practice price discrimination?
What is the influence of government on your company or market? Is there a heavy tax burden? Are there subsidies or price controls? Are there are other regulations that are relevant to the functioning of the market? This could include environmental regulations, taxes, tariffs, minimum wages, and so on. Describe the specific features of the regulation and their impact on your company or industry. Provide estimates of the impact on the market (e.g., prices, costs, or employment). Has this left room for businesses to exploit the inefficiency to create wealth?
The paper should be 6 to 10 pages and use APA format, standard font and font size, 1-inch margins, and double spacing. The cover page, reference page, and appendix do not count toward the page count.
