The Winner's Circle aims to provide a digital platform for sports fans and betting addicts, in hopes to help centralize various forms of social communication between family, close friends, and strangers alike. As the legalization of sports related gambling activities become more widespread throughout the United States as well as the rest of the world, our platform has to potential to connect millions of like-minded, adrenaline-seeking fans across the globe.

Devils Discard is an upcoming e-commerce platform whose mission is to make transactions safer for students first at Arizona State University and then at campuses around the world. When a student becomes interested in using the platform and makes an account, they are subjected to an information matching process to verify that that the student is currently enrolled. The student sees posts from students on his campus, and his or her posts are more likely to be seen by students on the same campus as the student. Unlike Craigslist and Offer UP, users do not post addresses. Instead, students post a location on campus to meet and sell/trade items. These mechanisms are intended to provide a safer place for students to make sales than other platforms could offer. The timetable for the launch of the platform at the moment is before May 2023. This paper will outline the business model this concept will follow in terms of its branding, consumer interaction, marketing strategy, and potential source of income and expenses.

Effects of Phonotactic Probability during Early Novel Word Recognition

The goal of this study was to examine whether there is any effect of phonotactic probability during the early phases of novel word recognition. In order to determine this, I performed two experiments. In Experiment 1, 33 adult monolingual English speakers learned 24 novel word-object pairings, half of which were high English phonotactic probability words and the other half were low English phonotactic probability words. I additionally included three conditions that varied the amount of exposures to each novel word-object pairing (i.e. One Exposure Condition, Two Exposures Conditions, and Five Exposures Condition). Experiment 2 was designed to clarify results found in Experiment 1, with improved randomization and fewer conditions (i.e. One Exposure Condition and Five Exposures Condition). The findings from both experiments were statistically significant in accuracy for Training condition, but not statistically significant for phonotactic probability nor for an interaction between phonotactic probability and Training condition. Although participants demonstrated learning across conditions there is no indication of a relationship between high and low phonotactic probability and novel word recognition. Collectively, these findings suggest that future studies will be necessary to determine if there is indeed an effect of phonotactic probability on early novel word recognition.
