Introduction
The case presented portrays the aftermath of an explosion that burnt a truck to the ground. What is apparent in the photos is that the ashes and residue of the burn were isolated within and around the truck, with other burnt materials (e.g., jacket and other objects) a few feet away from it. In a statement provided by the firefighters, they said that during the event they were standing by a downed power line, which is a 1000 feet away from the residence. Although their vantage point is a little far away, they are also the only witnesses that somehow had an idea of what could have occurred. Initially, we could deduce that since there are no witnesses that are near the site, then the testaments provided by the firefighters and the pieces of evidence found in the area of the incident would be used as the primary resources for investigating what could have happened.

According to witnesses, the incident occurred at 0400 hours (4:00 am), which is a time when most people are asleep. While a primary analysis of the area would make it difficult to know whether the incident was intended or not, another burnt object only 30 feet away (e.g., jacket) shows that this could be planned. Although it is possible that the jacket was just caught up in the fire, no traces or ashes were found in between the jacket’s place and the car

Diploid vs. Haploid Cells. Bozeman Science Now, if we shift from the idea that any trait is inherited by a species in a family lineage, AKA Mendel’s first law, the principle law of segregation, we can begin to see some of the other complexity in the basic inheritance model. In this section we will review the idea of genes as opposed to taits. Think of traits as the whole cake and the genes as the precise instructions for how to use, make, and acquire the ingredients for the cake. The cake has traits for certain; the frosting, the decorations, the filling, the bread or cake layers, and the decorations. However, how to get what is needed and how to use it are not easily observed as are the traits. The key concept we are using here is Mendel’s second law of independent assortment. Meaning, we are making the assumption based on previous work that traits are inherited from the parents. Next, we are trying to show how the instructions for a trait exist in independent packs. The independent gene usually works in combination with other genes. To add to complexity genes can be expressed or not. Meaning , a gene may be present but not show, this is referred to as dominance and recessive. As we have learned that cells contain DNA which activates things by using RNA, both are ractive and function to produce and build proteins which do things. The details for production are in the genes. How the genes show are the traits. Simply stated cells contain DNA which uses RNA to build proteins and the information on how to do that are stored in genes as segments of the DNA. The things built are known as traits. Gametes Now, as we continue the exploration of inheritance we have established that cells are micro-machines which store all the things needed for production and function. In this lesson we are demonstrating Mendel’s second law of independent assortment. Hence, we use the cell. There is a special kind of cell, a sex cell, referred to as a gamete, which is either a sperm or an ovum. A sex cell gets one of the of alleles from each parent. An allele is a gene for something but is a variant form. For example, is a gene for sex type is variant because it has a combination of X for male and Y for female. The offspring inherit the genes either xxs and or y from the parents. Consequently the genetic structure for offspring can vary. The X and Y are alleles. It is at times complex to understand genetics but for this course we will explore a few of the ideas. For example, an allele can be viewed with the ABo blood groups. That is, for humans we have three basic and understated alleles for blood; A , B, and o. We have genetic types for blood which are similar but… what is not similar is the specific cell type. They are similar for blood, but not because of what type. They are similar because of the function but not type. Those parts of the gene which code for the type are alleles. There is an added complexity sometimes and rarely, one allele is truly dominant over another. In the expression of genes for humans in the ABo blood groups A and B are codominant. Meaning they coexist on more or less equal standing. However, o type is not dominant and is referred to as recessive. That is, type o is passive to A or B and will not change the blood to type o. This is not too complex so far. However, the truth be told it is far more complex such as when considering the ideas of Rh factors, what parts of a cell or gene are dominant and which are recessive become a more complex puzzle to build. That is, basic Mendelian models for inheritance may not be adequate for resolving more complex issues but it is a start. There are reasons that more complex models need to be considered two are pleiotropy and polygenetics. Meaning that with pleiotropy, one gene can be used as a tool for many effects. Another iswith, polygenetics which uses more than one gene or for any one of many effects. It is not simple to start at the more complex and more accurate models.Therefore, it is useful to start with a two part model (refer to img.Gamete Selection 1 and 2) then to move onto more complex ones (refer to img.Gamete Selection 3) for example a much more complex 3 sets in two part model (refer to img.Gamete Selection 4). However, it is important to note the simple steps are not able to present the complexity of the human genome. Starting with some simple ideas, the genotypes for blood are different from the blood groups. For humans simply and usually blood groups are referred to as A, B, and o. However, the groups are actually made of two alleles for the blood cell. The alleles for A, B, or o types can combine in a two part system. A mother or a father must have at least two alleles but may have the alleles in combination. For example in an ABo blood group, a parent with type A has either genotype from below as a genotype. Both are simply named type A blood group. 1.AA (homozygous dominant) same 2.Ao (heterozygous) different 3.AB (codominant) both show Blood also has other genotypes for example; if one parent has genotype AA blood and the other parent has genotype BB blood then the offspring will get one A from parent one and one B from parent two resulting in type AB blood (codominant) (refer to table1). This shows Mendel’s first law, the principle law of segregation. However, a parent could be A for the blood group but their genotype could be Ao. This complicates the issue because now there are two sex cell options for blood grenotypes from that parent who has Ao alleles for A blood group, not just A but also an allelle for o. Consequently, when we combine parent one with Ao with parent two BB the outcome is less clear because each parent passes on half of their genotype. In the case of parent two it is simply a B because there are no other choices. However, for parent one it is either A or o. Therefore the offspring of the two parents could inherit A, B or o because they are options. Meaning the offspring could be AB (codominant) or Bo (heterozygous). This shows Mendel’s second law of independent assortment that the traits exist in packets which can be transferred to offspring independently. This can be shown in a handy tool known as a Punnett Square (refer to table 1 and table 2). It is used by placing one of the parent’s(p1)genotype in the first column and other parent’s (p2) on the top row. Then using the intersections to predict the genotypic outcome of the offspring. Table 1: Mendel’s principle law of segregation The only outcome is AB which came from the parents Table 2: Mendel’s law of independent assortment Because the alleles for blood A and o are unique, they can be inherited independently. This is true of all alleles. We know that trait alleles have at least two parts for simplified Mendalian genetics. That allows some easy applications. We do not have to use A, B, or o to represent any trait. We can use Aa, Bb, Cc, etc. because uppercase represents dominant and lower case represents recessive. Some prefer to use a letter as an allele which represents the idea for example, T for tall, t for small, etc… All these ideas form together to show the principle law of segregation from Gregor Mendel, that all traits an offspring has comes directly from their parents. Also we show the principle law of independence that; traits can exist as separate from other traits and be passed down to offspring. That being said, offspring get the genetic information from their parents and the parents pass part of the DNA to offspring separate from the whole DNA. A parent passed on part of the DNA through creating sex cells which have half the DNA required for a life. The sex cell is a gamete and comes as either a sperm or an ovum. The process of creating a sex cell is meiosis. When a sex cell is created in meiosis, the parent’s whole cell more or less divides in two cleaving a sex cell with half of the alleles from the parent. Therefore, if only one trait were to be examined (img.Gamete Selection 1) the result in the haploid daughter cells, would be in each of the two sex cells there would be half of the parent DNA; in this case review a parent with Aa (heterozygous) in img.Gamete Selection 1. The parent has a two part sequence which codes for a trait. The trait will express according to the patterns and to the effectiveness of the gene to express itself over others and the frequency with which that gene is expressed and the relationship of the affect and ecology of the individual. A trait does not simply show up, usually. There are many things which contribute to the expression. A person is put together, genetically like a complex machine. In this example we see nuts and bolts which need both parts to be useful (img.Gamete Selection 1). That is, a parent has two parts in connection that are useful but they can only pass one to the offspring meaning half. The other half will come from the other parent. When a sex cell is made there are many complex steps which have been covered already in Cells and DNA section you may also recall the added complexity of crossing-over and mixing of the DNA resulting in many unique sex cells from a single person. Therefore, there are many possibilities for the offspring from a parent because the system assures diversity. In the following drawings the process and result is simplified, in order to be direct and correct about the process of half the genes, passed onto offspring, by way of meiosis, and intercourse. The outcome is potentially limitless and diversity is assured by the process of life and procreation. img.Gamete Selection 1 Given: The parent cell has two parts. One is an A representing a dominant trait. There other is “a” which is a recessive one. The parent cell Aa is (heterozygous) meaning different. img.Gamete Selection 2 Given: The parent cell has two parts. One is a B representing a dominant trait. There other is “b” which is a recessive one. The parent cell Bb is (heterozygous) meaning different. img.Gamete Selection 3 Given: Parent 1starts with a cell which has two more parts. The cell from p1 parent cell Aa is (heterozygous) meaning different. P1(parent 1) has an A representing a dominant trait. There other is “a” which is a recessive one. P1 starts with a cell which has two more parts. The cell from p2 parent cell Bb is (heterozygous) meaning different.The parent cell Bb is (heterozygous) meaning different. P1 has a B representing a dominant trait. There other is “b” which is a recessive one. One is a B representing a dominant trait. There other is “b” which is a recessive one. Noted in the below gamete P1 is far more complex than for 1 trait. Gamete selection is from one parent. In that, a parent only has the One set of DNA. That DNA is divided into two parts or chromatids. Each chromatid has information but can carry different codes for the same thing such as for blood, or height etc. However, traits are simply controlled by one genetic pairing and there are many more genes. The information for genes is coded in 20,000-25,000 genes which work with others genes creating nearly limitless possibilities. Tracking these traits is complex See below if we change from 2 sets of two part traits (refer to img.Gamete Selection 3) to 3 sets of two part traits (refer to img.Gamete Selection 4). Then imagine what 25,000 genes may look like. img.Gamete Selection 4 Answer the following questions. Use the above document only to answer the questions. You can type in the answers if you have made a copy and renamed this document as your own. 1. Is a bubble diagram the same as factoring but using a picture (refer to img.Gamete Selection 1) ? two parts. Yes or no and why? (1 pt) 2. What is in the 2 part code/genotype for sex cell 1 and sex cell 2 (refer to img.Gamete Selection 2)? (1 pt) 3. What is in the 1 part code for sex cell 3 and the 1 part code for sex cell 4 refer to img.Gamete Selection 2)? (1 pt) 4. If P1 has traits of Aa and Bb then what are the outcomes for the codes for the sex cells, list them there are four ( refer to img.Gamete Selection 3). (1 pt) 5. Why are pleiotropy and polygenic potentially issues for Mendalian models? (1 pt) 6. Referring to the drawings in img.Gamete Selection 4; how is the branch matrix (tree) simpler to identify the parts and outcomes compared to drop-down (bubbles) or the modified FOIL method? (1 pt) 7. What ways are there to show math processes other than linear expressions or linear equations seen in this section on gametes? There are 5 choices list 3. (3 pt) 8.

Audience and content audit. Audience audit. Reverse Garbage is a not-for-profit organization that creatively converts waste from landfills to items that are sold to the general public at a small fee. The organization accepts industrial discards from more than three hundred companies hence diverting them from landfills. Some of the materials include clothes and textiles, food and drinks packaging, furniture and fittings (Territory & Wales, 2010). The materials can be used by clients as art and craft, making costumes, making jewelry, film arts, theatre, and furniture. The company also offers education, educational tours and learning workshops for learning institutions and the general public (Maack, 2010). The organization was set up in 1974 by a team of teachers that was passionate about reducing the amount of solid waste that got its way into the landfills and promote the reusing of materials in their classroom. For the thirty-six years that the organization has been in operation, it has primarily focused on reducing land pollution, and providing the general public with affordable goods. The company has several revenue streams. It encourages donations of waste from residences, companies and industries to prevent the waste from going to landfills. It sells the reusable and recyclable items to the general public at a low cost and raises funds from running learning workshops, creative reuse sessions, and educating students on environmental conservation (Maack, 2010). The services offered by the company are accessed by customers when they visit the workshop in Marrickville. The wide variety of the goods that are offered by the company are also available in the workshop. Alternatively, the company posts photos of some of the items that they have on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and customers make orders online. The items are then posted to them. The current customers for Reverse Garbage include the lovers of art that stay around Marrickville and the online users that order the products on social media platforms. The number of people that lover art and would make use of the wide range of products are innumerable and scattered throughout the social media platforms. People that advocate for environmental sustainability could also provide a potential market for the products, since buying from Reverse Garbage would contribute greatly to reducing solid waste dumping in landfills. These prospective customers can be reached through popular social media networks such as Twitter and Facebook. The interaction between the company and clients on Twitter is limited. Most of the posts go without likes and retweets. There are almost zero replies on all the posts. On Facebook and Twitter, the company receives a handful of comments with people requesting for if they can donate items and placing orders. The company responds on the same day that the comments are left. Some of the replies, however, are left late on the following day. For most of the replies, the replies are just a direction to an email for a private transaction. Content audit. The most conspicuous items when you visit the Facebook page of Reverse Garbage is the cover page. At the time of this audit, the cover page was a green poster highlighting the hours that the company is open. The profile picture contains the logo of the company. The logo is white and pink themed. The page has a total of 86, 764 likes. Based on the opinion of 478 people, the company has a rating of 4.5 on a scale of one to five. Also conspicuous on the Facebook page is information regarding to the company. The about section gives the geographical location of the company; 8/142 Addison Road, Marrickville, New South Wales 2204. Next to the location, the company provides a link to the directions. It also contains a link to the website of the company, and the twitter handle of the company. One phone number, through which customers can communicate with the organization, is provided. The about section excellently outlines the company overview, the mission of the company, and the products offered by the company. A quick google search of Reverse Garbage directs one to the website of the company and the Facebook page. The company posts at least one post every day. The posts are mainly meant for marketing the items that are offered by the company. The company also shares news about the various projects that the company is involved in. The page contains items the company thinks are most relevant at a given point. For instance, in the face of the widely spreading Covid-19 pandemic, the company is advertising their creatively made and beautiful face masks. The images of the items captured are of a high quality and eye-catching. It is difficult to scroll through the page without stopping to admire the beautiful items. For each of the items, the price of the items is displayed. The company also uses the Facebook page to pass well whishes to the customers during holidays such as Easter and Christmas. The posts on the Facebook page are written in a clear and easy to understand language. They provide a brief description of the products before giving the price of the items. The posts, however, fail to give clear direction to the location where customers can find the items. The posts assume that the client had already gone through the about section of the page and found out the location. While the company provides a link to the online market where the people can shop for the products, most the posts do not direct the online users to the online market. While most of the posts are about self-promotion, the company also posts information that is useful to the followers. The company posts some of videos that guide people on various ways through which they can creatively divert residential waste. It also promotes the safety of the clients by encouraging them to stay at home during the pandemic. References Maack, I., 2010. An irresistible idea. Rattler (Sydney), (96), p. 6.

1.A useful initial step in analyzing any movie is to distinguish an individual scene’s content from its form. Try to first identify a scene’s subject matter: What is this scene about? What happens? Once you have established that content, you should consider how that content was expressed. What was the mood of the scene? What do you understand about each character’s state of mind? How did you perceive and interpret each moment? Did that understanding shift at any point? Once you know what happened and how you felt about it, search the scene for those formal elements that influenced your interpretation and experience. The combination and interplay of multiple formal elements that you seek is the cinematic language that movies employ to communicate with the viewer.(20points) 2.Do any narrative or visual patterns recur a sufficient number of times to suggest a structural element in themselves? If so, what are these patterns? Do they help you determine the meaning of the film? (20points) 3.Do you notice anything particular about the movie’s presentation of cinematic space—what you see on the screen? Lots of landscapes or close-ups? Moving or static camera? (10points) 4.Does the director manipulate our experience of time? Is this condensing, slowing, speeding, repeating, or reordering of time simply practical (as in removing insignificant events), or is it expressive? If it is expressive, just what does it express? (20points) 5.Does the director’s use of lighting help to create meaning? If so, how? (10points) 6.Do you identify with the camera lens? What does the director compel you to see? What is left to your imagination? What does the director leave out altogether? In the end, besides showing you the action, how does the director’s use of the camera help to create the movie’s meaning? (20points)

CREATIVE BRIEF Assignment Client: Date: Assignment: Client Signed By: Briefed By (your names here): Due: PROJECT DESCRIPTION /1 This project should showcase the new slogan of Pepsi – Dare for More. It must have a strong impact to its viewers through the use of visual elements and a catchy storyline that would leave a sort of an emotional aftertaste to the viewers. In line with the current day issues, it must include the use of actresses as the protagonists, while also showing Pepsi in strategic focal points. WHAT ARE THE COMMUNCIATIONS OBJECTIVES? (Behaviour you’re trying to change) at least 2 /4 This video should show difference from the norm as envisioned in Pepsi’s slogan. This effect could be measured by the reactions of the people about the advertisement itself relative to the advertisements of our competitors. Based on the reactions of the audience to this difference, the brand could change its packaging to entice more customers. Additionally, this is relevant because of the strength of the competitors in establishing a strong brand identity. Lastly, this experiment would be done for this quarter. Another objective of the video is to show its concern for the current issues in society. The perceptions of the people towards this corporate social concern (i.e., current issues in feminism) could be measured through surveys (Bunting, 2004). By doing this, the company could also leverage helping others while also increasing its brand recognition relative to others. The observation for the results of this experiment would be done within a month. WHO IS THE TARGET AUDIENCE? /4 The target audience would be the youth who are residing in the urban areas. In terms of geographic segmentation, the advertisement would target those in the cities that has access to both the advertisement as well as the product itself. This would optimize the effectivity of the advertisement in communicating its message. As for demographic segmentation, it would focus on the youth. The primary reason for this is because people of old ae would have many dietary restrictions, and this allows soda. Thus, in order to increase the effectivity of the commercial, we would focus more on the said population. In terms of behavioral segmentation, it would be best to direct the advertisements towards both who already knows Pepsi as well as those who don’t. However, focusing on those who don’t would also be effective as it would help increase its consumer base (Trott, 2016). In terms of psychographic segmentation, focusing on the youth would be advantageous because of the trend these days to “think differently”. In turn, through the consumption of the product, this message would be emphasized. WHAT IS THE CONSUMER INSIGHT? /2 “I think that these days, doing things ‘differently’ also refers to the company’s focus towards giving back to the society. This is what a strong brand means. A brand that resonates with the issues happening around them”. WHAT IS THE BENEFIT WE ARE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE? /2 The benefit that we are trying to communicate is the chance to be “different” and the idea to achieve more WHAT CAN WE OFFER AS SUPPORT FOR THIS? /1 In order to realize this project, Pepsi would offer all of the support that it could provide as long as it is within the scope of the conditions and agreements provided thereof. This includes financial, logistics, and informational support among others. WHAT IS THE BRAND’S CREATIVE STRATEGY/CAMPAIGN THEME? Campaign Theme /1 The main campaign theme would revolve around Pepsi’s current slogan “Dare for More” *Appeal Technique(s) /2 In order to increase the appeal of the advertisement, we would include general issues these days and incorporate it to the overall theme of the advertisement. *Creative Tactic(s) /2 We would also include throngs of people singing in the background in unison. The song must be one that would elicit a strong emotional appeal. WHAT’S REQUIRED / MANDATORIES/ EXECUTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS? /2 This video must put into focus Pepsi’s slogan, have a relevance to current day issues, and have a strong emotional appeal to all the viewers.
