Class, I will offer Tips and Hints on each of our weekly DB’s (we typically have one DB with two parts per week). I will focus on providing guidance on our DB’s.  My Tips and Hints are entirely optional, and you can choose to follow my advice or not – the quality of your response(s) is up to you and you are responsible for all of your research, interpretation, and APA formatting (citation and referencing).  These Tips and Hints are offered as a courtesy. Thanks, Dr. Vic. Dr. Vic: Please make sure you fully discuss our DBs do not just post two or three or even four sentences, please make sure you have reached a solid graduate level discussion. Also, post at least one (1) peer-to-peer comment for each DB as well by Sunday of each week – posting more peer comments is preferred for graduate courses, please keep in mind, at least one comment is required. Statement of Work (SOW) a)Examine the components of a SOW for the purpose of open competition without restrictive provisions. Select a field that you are interested in and determine the information that would be included in a SOW for a contract in that field.  (Dr. Vic’s Tips: this question follows information from Ch. 5 of our Compton textbook very closely. You will want to read the entirety of Ch. 5 and pay particular attention to p.p. 45-47, the section entitled “Format of a SOW and Common Elements”. Then after you have discussed these common elements, address the second portion of the question and discuss the field you are interested in and the contents of SOW for that field. Market Research a)From the e-Activity, evaluate the listed resources for market research, and then explain which source you found to be the most accurate and why. Determine how this Website will help you while conducting market research. (Dr. Vic’s Tips: you will want to make sure you use information from both our Feldman (Ch. 10 – a very short chapter) and our Compton (Ch. 4) textbooks for this DB question. As far as the e-Activity, the link should work, but if not, please focus on simply describing the definition, form, function and purpose of Market Research, please use info from FAR and the following sites: SBA document (it’s about 30 pages in pdf) site: https://www.sba.gov/sites/default/files/files/mkt_workbook.pdf Or Click here for the document: Week_2_B1_SBA_Mkt_Research.pdf  GSA website on Market Research (look at Sec. 3, p.22): https://interact.gsa.gov/sites/default/files/mas_desk_reference_-_2010.pdf Or Click here for the document: Week_2_B2_GSA_Mkt_Research.pdf  GAO Website – Document on Market Research: http://www.gao.gov/assets/670/666447.pdf Or Click here for the document: Week_2_B3_GAO_Mkt_Research.pdf  e-Activity Link: https://www.hhs.gov/grants/contracts/get-ready-to-do-business/index.html%20 Respond to the following post: "Statement of Work (SOW)" Please respond to the following: Examine the components of a SOW for the purpose of open competition without restrictive provisions. Select a field that you are interested in and determine the information that would be included in a SOW for a contract in that field. The statement of work should include what the objectives of the project are, the scope of the project, the schedule, the price of the materials or service, key assumptions, and acceptance (Barry, 2010).     This is a document written by the federal government that outlines exactly what it is a vendor is required to do. The SOW (Statement of Work) is used to evaluate quotes that are submitted by different vendors. Each vendor is evaluated fairly and the award/contract should always be given to the bidder who meets all qualifications which includes a fair and reasonable price. Besides my regular job I also attend and have planned a few conferences where we deal directly with the hotel to set up events for the day or the weekend. Within the statement of work things such as the requirements for the wait staff, room size, table and chair setup along with technology equipment. How to proceed with the events for the day, how much coffee and water to serve, what time to put out the food. Under documentation would be the breakdown of pricing for each thing. The background section of the SOW would include the reasons behind the conference which fully detail what we do and all requirements we have and what we expect from the venue. From the e-Activity, evaluate the  listed resources for market research, and then explain which source you found to be the most accurate and why. Determine how this Website will help you while conducting market research. I believe each of the resources have value but the one thing most businesses have a hard time with is actually finding the business. By having access to the link to find contract opportunities a small or large business has access to many different contract opportunities. Links such as FedBizOpps.com gives new vendors a place to go to view not only opportunities from HHS but other agencies as well. It shows each agency and how many notices they have out there. This website along with the other resources under find contract opportunities not only gives knowledge but puts a vendor in the position to be able to search and find contracting opportunities

Brady, 924 F. 2d 872 (9th Cir, 1991)[you can find this on p. 467 of the textbook] Summary of Facts: Ellison, a revenue agent for the IRS, brought a sexual harassment suit because a co-worker, Gray, she barely knew sent her multiple letters of a personal nature.She reported his behavior to her supervisor, who instructed Gray to not contact Ellison again.Gray transferred to another office for several months and then asked to be transferred back.When Ellison heard of Gray’s request to transfer, she became frantic and file a formal sexual harassment complaint with the IRS. Cause of Action: Hostile Environment Sexual Harassment Plaintiff’s Elements: 1. Unwanted Physical or Verbal Conduct of a Sexual Nature:Gray sent Ellison multiple letters about his obsession with her, he followed her, and he repeatedly attempted to initiated a relationship with her. Ellison found Gray’s actions to be “weird”, “crazy”, “nuts” and was frightened by his actions. 2.Actions are Severe of Pervasive:Gray’s actions were pervasive because they happened on a regular basis for several weeks. 3.Actions Create an Intimidating or Hostile Work Environment:Ellison avoided Gray at lunch time; she left the building to get away from him; she reported his actions to her supervisor. 4.Actions Interfered with Plaintiff’s ability to work:See facts above. 5.Employer Knew or Should have known:Ellison reported Gray’s actions to her supervisor. 6.Employer failed to stop behaviors:Gray was told many times to stop contacting Ellison but he continued to contact her for weeks. Employer’s Possible Defenses:Policy, Procedure, Prompt Remedial Action Comments: Apparently the IRS had a policy against sexual harassment, and Ellison’s supervisor made minimal efforts to get Gray to stop his behaviors once Ellison reported him, but the behaviors were allowed to continue for weeks.Therefore the IRS failed to engage in Prompt Remedial Action.

I need assistance with my discussion assignment and reponses that are needed. The assignment states: During COVID, many people became frustrated when contracts could not be fulfilled. In actuality, there have been many times when contracts could not be fulfilled due to impossibility. Read the Parker v. Arthur Murray, Inc., 295 N.E.2d 487 (Ill. Ct. App. 1973) case using the textbook link in Week's 5 Reading/Video View Assignments, pages 522-524. In this case, even though the contract had statements that this was non-refundable, the Court held differently. Research another case dealing with the doctrine of impossibility to perform and answer the following questions: Identify, compare, and contrast the facts of both cases. If you were a business owner, do you think non-refundable clauses in contracts are ethical, why or why? Would your position change if you were a consumer who had signed a contract with such a clause? Identify 2 other reasons why a contract may fail on impossibility, and explain **Resources provided below 1.From the following textbook from Saylor Organization Resources The Saylor Foundation -CC BY NC SA - Foundations of Business Law and the Legal Environment,Links to an external site. please read: Chapter 13 - Form and Meaning, pages 439 - 458 Chapter 14 - Third Party Rights, pages 471 - 478 Chapter 15 - Discharge of Obligations, pages 499-505 Chapter 16 - Remedies, pages 530 - 550 2.Please watch the following videos: Contract DefensesLinks to an external site.

I need some assistance with my assignment. In Weeks 4 and 5 learning segments, you learned about the 4 required elements of contracts under both common law and UCC. However, there are major differences in the details that are required to be included in a common law contract versus a UCC contract. Create a writing assignment answering the following questions: Analyze the specific differences in details required to form a binding contract in common law and the UCC - provide examples. What are the differences in performance to resolve a common law contract and a UCC contract? How do breaches differ in a common law contract versus a UCC contract? Are there remedies? Identify how they would apply to breaches and who (parties to a common law contract or UCC contract) can take advantage of them.

Introduction: As you learned in Chapter 4 of your Fundamentals of Research in Criminology and Criminal Justice, an empirical measure of validity adequately reflects the meaning of the concept under consideration. When considering the issue of conceptualization, it is more difficult to demonstrate that individual measures are valid. For example, face validity offers empirical measures that may or may not jibe with common agreements and individual mental images about a particular concept. Criterion-related validity relies on comparing a measure with some external criterion. Measures can be validated by showing that it predicts scores on another measure that is generally accepted as valid. With discriminant validity, the measure of a concept is different from measures of similar but distinct concepts. Conceptual definitions offer a working definition specifically assigned to a term. This specification of conceptual definitions does two important things. It serves as a specific working definition presented so readers understand the concept and focuses observational strategy. It is operational definitions that spell out precisely how the concept will be measured; a description of the operations undertaken in measuring a concept. Instructions: Develop a narrowly focused concept, such as poverty, depression, or social support to test its validity. Explain your chosen concept.  (Depression) Identify three empirical research articles using a library search to find the most valid measure of your chosen concept. Summarize your findings based on your empirical research. Explore how valid the measure is and the basis for your rating of validity.

Read the article titled “How Targeted Deterrence Helps Police Reduce Gun Deaths”, located here. You may also view the article here. Examine how police use focused-deterrence strategies to reduce gun violence in U.S. cities. Speculate on the main risk(s) of using focused-deterrence strategies to reduce gun violence and suggest how police would mitigate the risk(s) in question. Determine two (2) other types of violent crimes that targeted deterrence could help reduce. Support your position.

Premise: Chapter Six discusses that crime is a social phenomenon and central to any understanding of crime, is the role that society, social institutions, and social processes play in its development and control. 1) Can a person's social environment lead that person into crime? If so, how? Can changes in the social environment end criminal involvement? 2) The Broken Windows Theory says that physical deterioration and an increase in unrepaired buildings lead to increased concerns for personal safety among residents living in such areas and may contribute to heightened crime rates. If this is true, how do run-down conditions in a neighborhood translate into criminal activity? Are such conditions the cause of crime? Explain. 3) Gresham Sykes and David Matza believed that offenders and delinquents are aware of conventional values and understand that crime is wrong but they overcome feelings of responsibility through what Sykes and Matza called, "techniques of neutralization". They identified five (5) such techniques. Out of these five techniques, which do you think is the most important? Why?
