EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Overview
RTT was founded in 2002 by Paul Schenk and Thomas Carlsson to exploit significant advances in the fields of computing and visual sciences, and has developed a series of “visual intelligence” technologies, that offer a leading edge in real world motion capture and real time virtual computer generated 3D graphics technology.
RTT’s systems utilise networked video cameras, computer processing units and specialist software and are now, through its subsidiary Venatrack, exploiting the football market with signed three year supply agreements with the Premier League and Sky Sports as well as PA Sports and Manchester City FC. The company also expects to close negotiations with the BBC imminently. The nature of the

Venatrack uses proprietary tools, to re-create action sequences, e.g. a players’ eye-view of a free kick, or a linesman’s view of an off-side decision. The technology debuted on UK television during the season 2008/9 as part of Setanta’s live coverage ending, post the broadcaster’s demise, at the 2009 FA Cup Final at Wembley.
Importantly, Venatrack has recently been awarded prestigious contracts with two of the most well respected organisations in the global football market, the Premier League & Sky Sports and is set to begin a three-year supply contract for a wide variety of data and graphical material from August 2010.
Market Size
The nature of the technology means it can be used to provide extensive data analysis applications to the broadcast, gaming, betting and coaching markets within the football industry. These markets are estimated to be worth over £1 billion worldwide.
Beyond the contract with the Premier League, Venatrack anticipates achieving comparable contracts with several of the top European leagues and their host broadcast partners, plus non-EU leagues of suitable size and value. It is currently in advanced negotiations with a second leading European football association to equip its entire league with the system from the 2011/12 Season onwards. Other commercial contracts include a long term agreement to provide
The healthcare systems of Switzerland and the United States are quite similar in some aspects and vastly different in others. In Switzerland, the healthcare is universal and available to all. It is provided by private individual insurance companies and subsidized by the government when needed. Basic health insurance is required to be purchased within 3 months of residency or after birth and is an individual’s choice as to what carrier they choose. Of course, there are exceptions to this mandate but they are very few.("Healthcare in Switzerland," “n.d.”, para. 1) Because of this requirement, 99.5% of the population in Switzerland has
The National Football League and its’ franchises uses big data and statistical reports on attendance over the years to find a relative price that a customer finds reasonable for the experience. However, customers should expect high prices since a customer is paying for a better experience than watching the game through television. Customers are sensitive to price changes since this is a leisure activity. When economy is not well, the less customers are willing to purchase game tickets and merchandise since the customers have less spending money (IBIS World 2016). Therefore, the franchises have to monitor the economy to adjust the

One of the greatest obstacles that the NFL has had in introducing football globally is that many people outside of the United States and Canada find the rules complex and confusing. To help teach people more about football, the NFL designed an interactive website platform which teaches fans the fundamentals of American football (Hardcastle, 2012). The website seeks to directly address the queries, making it highly interactive. This website also serves as a foundation for advertising and promotional decisions; it can show executives which areas of the world are visiting the site, and showing interest in football which helps for deciding which venues to select for future NFL International games. The website also assists in identifying individuals with similar characteristics that have significant implications for the determination of marketing strategies; market segmentation (Market Segmentation, 2002-2010).
It is critical to have an understanding of nursing-sensitive indicators in order to provide safe, quality, compassionate and satisfactory patient care. In this scenario, applying restraints to Mr. J, a demented patient with hip fracture seems appropriate. However, it is standard practice that restraints are to be removed as soon as possible, and the patient in restraints may need assistance to change position every two hours. In Mr. J’s scenario, there should have been a bedside commode, and a urinal for him to use at the bedside so he does not have to walk very far to the restroom. As for the CNA, if she was well trained, she would have been able to recognize the marks on his spine
The provided scenario gives an account of a busy emergency department with competent staff, and the multiple errors that led up to the most severe error possible in healthcare, unnecessary death of a patient. A root cause analysis (RCA) can be utilized to help understand the systems at fault within the facility so that improvements can be determined and implemented to prevent any future occurrences (Cherry, 456). RCAs focus on systems rather than blaming individuals involved, therefore they are only appropriate in cases where there has been no willful negligence or criminal acts (Huber & Ogrinc, 2014). The overall purpose of RCAs is to find out the causes of the adverse event and determine how to keep similar errors from

Moreover, they would be able to define strategies to mitigate such risks.
Fantasy sports has evolved from its humble roots as the niche Dungeons & Dragons-esque intersection of sports fandom and statistical nerdiness.

The once maligned cult hobby has grown into an undeniable sports subculture, commanding regular coverage from all major sports networks, in addition to active online communities, podcasts, and even paid services catering to fantasy sports players.

The heart rate is the measurement of pulse measured, but also it can represent the following.
Canada’s Aboriginal population plays a significant role in our country’s history, so it is understandably devastating for any harm to befall such an integral portion of our population. As it stands, there has been a statistically significant increase in violent crimes committed against Aboriginal people over the past few decades (Walkom, 2017). More specifically, Indigenous women and girls go missing from their homes or are the victims of homicide at a much higher rate than the rest of the population.
