Project 6 Game

Copy ALL of the contents in the public_html/csci2447/project5 folder into the public_html/csci2447/project6 folder. This ensures that you will not overwrite your work for the previous project. You will do this for each project from here on out. If you do not do this, there is no way for me to grade your previous project.
(5 pts) In the last project, you created an addMole() function which added the mole image to #gamespace. This worked well but each time it is called, it replaced the image which was already in there with a new one. We want to preserve the moles already in the #gamespace. Change your use of .html() in addMole() to .append(). Done!
(5 pts) Add a check (using an if-statement) to your function which decrements the timer that checks to see if the seconds remaining > 0 before repeating the call. You do not want your seconds to count past zero!
(5 pts) Now we will try to make the moles appear randomly around the screen. First, add the following code to your game.css file. This will allow us to use the “top” and “left” CSS styles on the mole IMG tag.

div#gamespace img { position: absolute; }

And add the following property to div#gamespace:

div#gamespace { position: relative; }
(15 pts) To actually randomly move each mole, you will need to call your random number functions! Call each function once in the addMole() function and save the returned value to a variable (eg. xPos and yPos). Now that you have two random values, you will need to add a “style” attribute to the mole IMG tag. For example:

In this “style” attribute, you will need to add a “left” and “top” property. The values for each property will be your random numbers.

Tweak the values of your random function to make the moles stay within the #gamespace.

Hint: The actual value would be be stored within a variable. You will call the function to run, and have the value stored within a variable. You will place the variable within the line of code where the value is to added.
(5 pts) When the mole is clicked, it should disappear as if it was whacked! To do this, add a line of code to your.on() function that makes image disappear when clicked. Note: There are a variety of methods that will allow you to do so in jQuery, and jQuery UI.

(15 pts) Randomize the time interval in which new moles appear. Currently, it is set to a static 2000 (2 seconds). The interval should vary between 0 and 2000 at random. You may create a new random function similar to your random x and y functions, if you like. Moles should now appear at random intervals!

Evaluating Market Concentration

Evaluate issues relating to market concentration, oligopoly, vertically- and horizontally-integrated firms, and market-dominating firms, in relation to your final project topic and research question/thesis. Accordingly, your paper will likely inform, and may be used in part to address the following requirement of the final project assignment.

In one segment, assess issues pertaining to market competition, which include market concentration, dominance of powerful firms, oligopoly, or other competition-relevant factors as these relate to your topic. (Your Week 7 assignment may serve as a resource or first draft for this item.)
In your paper,

identify at least one issue relating to your project topic that involves market concentration, monopolistic or oligopolistic competition, market domination by one or more large firms, or tendencies toward merger and acquisition activity in a media market.
Assess the implications of your selected issue from an economic perspective relating to profits, financial viability, product and service markets, innovation, technical change, and/or other economic factors.
Assess your issue from a political economy perspective relating the market power and political power of firms to the public interest, the public sphere, or democratic institutions.

Intro to black literature

Read Behind the Scenes by Elizabeth Keckley(You can read it through the link below), then write a thesis-driven paper(600words). The checklist is attached.

https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/87/behind-the-scenes/

Details see below

Subject: Behind the Scenes or, Thirty Years a Slave, and Four Years in the White House

Background: Upon its publication in 1868, Keckley’s text was quite controversial. In fact, the text’s content was so controversial that it was “recalled” by its publisher in response to tremendous public outcry. As this text created such a negative response, it is fair to say that this warrants the question—Why did Keckley actually write this text? What was her motivation? For example, Keckley tells her reader that she wrote this text as a means to defend Mrs. Lincoln’s honor. Do you believe that Keckley wrote this text as a means to mend Mary Todd Lincoln’s torn reputation, or do you think she wrote this autobiography for another reason altogether?

Approach:Please avoid background material; it is not necessary, and it takes up valuable paper space reserved for establishing a strong and valid defense of your position. This paper does not request or welcome outside research. I am interested in your own close reading of the text; not critical interpretations. Remember—If you can find details on the internet, I can find the same details on the internet! More interestingly, I may have even published it!

Organization:Because this is a “thesis-driven” paper, you are expected to outline / make your claim(s) in the first paragraph of the essay and use the rest of the paper to defend your position(s). You may even use a version of this sentence: “Elizabeth Keckley wrote her autobiography, Behind the Scenes or, Thirty Years a Slave, and Four Years in the White House in order to_____________ because_____________.” Please utilize your paragraphs to defend your position by explaining your reasoning and providing direct quotes from the text for evidence. Be sure to explain how your chosen quotes work as evidence. Try to avoid “dropped quotes” from the text in your essay. A quote is useless in defending your position unless you thoroughly explain its significance to the position you state in your thesis. Perform a selective close-reading of the text; introduce and present your reader with the most important evidence and explain its significance to your position. Additionally, because this is an analytical essay, please write from the third-person perspective and avoid using “I” at all costs.

Land Development

• Prepare a site plan of a proposed new development on the site
• You may use either the existing zoning or a proposal for rezoning to new zoning district in that municipality
• If you use the existing zoning make sure you include all appropriate allowable zoning information such as setbacks, minimum acreage requirements, allowable impervious coverage, etc.
• If you use a proposed zoning, you should indicate both the existing zoning information and the proposed
• If your plan deviates from the zoning, you will need to indicate “zoning variances” that will be required in order to gain approval of the municipality
• It is ok to be original in your design
• All of the zoning information should be on the right hand side of the plan
• Plot the proposed site plan using CADD at a scale that will fit onto an 11 x 17 plan sheet, make sure it shows the property lines so that the property is well defined on the plan
• Overlay on the site the google earth image and topographic lines using either google or USGS information
• If there is a stream, creek or pond on the site make sure you identify.
• Indicate the size of the parcel
• Make sure your plan includes a north arrow, a location map, adjoining street names, a graphic scale, etc.
• The plan should have a title block showing your name and the municipality in which the site is located.
