Does it sometimes make sense economically to breach a contract? Explain and give examples. Case Solving Leonard purchased an unconstructed condominium in a large development. The contract stated that delivery of the completed condo was to be on a date set by the developer before February 1, 2010. Construction proceeded on schedule except on April 25, 2009, the whole development burned to the ground. After spending some time looking for the cause of the fire, the developer started the process of rebuilding in October 2009. It looks like the condo will be delivered about a year later than originally anticipated. Is Leonard bound by the contract under these circumstances? Does it matter if the fire was caused by the developer’s negligence? 1. Louise arrived for a two-week vacation at a Mexican resort.

History Of Present Illness
One week ago, Ms. Tina was going down
her steps with no shoes and stumbled
scratching her right foot on the edge of the
step and was taken to the emergency room
by her mother where an x-ray was
performed and the site showed no
abnormality. They cleaned her injuries and
Tremadol was reccomended for pain and
she was told to remain off of her foot and to
keep it very clean and dry at all times as she
was realeased home. her foot became
swollen 2 days aglo as the pain exacerbated
and she saw grayish whte pus draining from
the wound and that is when she started
taking Tramadol. She rated her agony of
pain as a 7 out of 10 on her wounded foot
nevertheless; she says it emanates to her
whole foot and that there was drainage
initially when the episode previoulsy began.
Ms. Tina has been cleaning the injury with
cleanser and soap and applying Neosporin
to the wound two times each day and
occasionaly applied peroxide. The pain was
depicted as throbbing and very still and
sometimes sharp shooting pain or torment
when she puts weight on her foot. She can
not accomadate her tennis shoes on her
right foot so she had been wearing flip
tumbles or slippers everyday. The pai pills
have eased the excruciating pain for few
hours and she reported having fever. She
has lost 10 pounds in barley a month
accidentally and has work for two days as
she reported. She denied any ongoing

Jules Ferry (1832-1893):
On French Colonial Expansion
Ferry was twice prime minister of France, from [1880-1881, 1883-1885]. He is especially remembered for
championing laws that removed Catholic influence from most education in France and for promoting a vast extension
of the French colonial empire.
The policy of colonial expansion is a political and economic system ... that can be connected to three sets of ideas:
economic ideas; the most far-reaching ideas of civilization; and ideas of a political and patriotic sort.
In the area of economics, I am placing before you, with the support of some statistics, the considerations that justify
the policy of colonial expansion, as seen from the perspective of a need, felt more and more urgently by the
industrialized population of Europe and especially the people of our rich and hardworking country of France: the need
for outlets [for exports]. Is this a fantasy? Is this a concern [that can wait] for the future? Or is this not a pressing
need, one may say a crying need, of our industrial population? I merely express in a general way what each one of
you can see for himself in the various parts of France. Yes, what our major industries [textiles, etc.], irrevocably
steered by the treaties of 18601 into exports, lack more and more are outlets. Why? Because next door Germany is
setting up trade barriers; because across the ocean the United States of America have become protectionists, and
extreme protectionists at that; because not only are these great markets ... shrinking, becoming more and more
difficult of access, but these great states are beginning to pour into our own markets products not seen there before.
This is true not only for our agriculture, which has been so sorely tried ... and for which competition is no longer
limited to the circle of large European states.... Today, as you know, competition, the law of supply and demand,
freedom of trade, the effects of speculation, all radiate in a circle that reaches to the ends of the earth.... That is a
great complication, a great economic difficulty; ... an extremely serious problem. It is so serious ...

[40 Marks] The binomial model for pricing options leads to the for-

V (S,t) is the option value, t is the time, S is the spot price, σ is volatil-
ity and r is the risk-free rate.
By carefully expanding U,D,q as Taylor series in δt or
√
δt (as appro-
priate) and then expanding V (US,t + δt) and V (DS,t + δt) as Taylor
series in both their arguments, deduce that to O (δt) ,

We already have a reasonably good idea of when fish evolved into land-based tetrapod because the fossil record documents the sequence of changes to their bodies. One of the most iconic specimens is Tiktaalik, a "transitional" fossil dating to around 375 million years ago. Tiktaalik is special, because though it retains many fish-like characteristics, it also possesses wrist bones, suggesting that it could support itself on its front limbs. Fossils from rocks older than Tiktaalik lack these wrist bones and are generally more fish-like. Fossils from younger rocks include more tetrapod-like species, with distinct digits and limbs.
Walking fish help people understand how we left the ocean. Our ancestors' transition out of the water and onto the land was a pivotal moment in evolution. No longer buoyed by water, early tetrapods had to overcome gravity in order to move their bodies. Exactly how those early pioneers first evolved the fundamental capacity to walk has fascinated scientists for many years.

Study: Hands of “Ardi” Indicate a Chimp-like Tree-Dweller and Knuckle-Walker
https://evolutionnews.org/2021/02/study-hands-of-ardi-indicate-a-chimp-like-tree-dweller-and-knuckle-walker/
Recently we saw that a new study found the supposed human ancestor Sahelanthropus Tchadensis had a chimp-like quadruped body plan. It therefore should not be considered a human ancestor. The hominin fossil Ardipithecus ramidus, or “Ardi,” has been going through a similar evolution. Initially, Ardi was widely called the “oldest human ancestor,” due to its supposed skeletal traits that indicated an early bipedal (upright walking) species. Lead researcher Tim White even called Ardi the “Rosetta stone for understanding bipedalism.” But after Ardi was officially announced, other papers strongly challenged the claim that Ardi was bipedal. One article in Science commented that “All of the Ar. ramidus bipedal characters cited also serve the mechanical requisites of quadrupedality.” Another review in Nature strongly argued that “the claim that Ardipithecus ramidus was a facultative terrestrial biped is vitiated because it is based on highly speculative inferences about the presence of lumbar lordosis and on relatively few features of the pelvis and foot.”
It must be the most common picture that used to explain the concept ‘evolution’. The new discovery ‘Ardi’ attracts me that people may find another good example to help us understand how we evolved into bipedalism.

[40 Marks] The binomial model for pricing options leads to the for-

V (S,t) is the option value, t is the time, S is the spot price, σ is volatil-
ity and r is the risk-free rate.
By carefully expanding U,D,q as Taylor series in δt or

We already have a reasonably good idea of when fish evolved into land-based tetrapod because the fossil record documents the sequence of changes to their bodies. One of the most iconic specimens is Tiktaalik, a "transitional" fossil dating to around 375 million years ago. Tiktaalik is special, because though it retains many fish-like characteristics, it also possesses wrist bones, suggesting that it could support itself on its front limbs. Fossils from rocks older than Tiktaalik lack these wrist bones and are generally more fish-like. Fossils from younger rocks include more tetrapod-like species, with distinct digits and limbs.
Walking fish help people understand how we left the ocean. Our ancestors' transition out of the water and onto the land was a pivotal moment in evolution. No longer buoyed by water, early tetrapods had to overcome gravity in order to move their bodies. Exactly how those early pioneers first evolved the fundamental capacity to walk has fascinated scientists for many years.

Study: Hands of “Ardi” Indicate a Chimp-like Tree-Dweller and Knuckle-Walker
https://evolutionnews.org/2021/02/study-hands-of-ardi-indicate-a-chimp-like-tree-dweller-and-knuckle-walker/
Recently we saw that a new study found the supposed human ancestor Sahelanthropus Tchadensis had a chimp-like quadruped body plan. It therefore should not be considered a human ancestor. The hominin fossil Ardipithecus ramidus, or “Ardi,” has been going through a similar evolution. Initially, Ardi was widely called the “oldest human ancestor,” due to its supposed skeletal traits that indicated an early bipedal (upright walking) species. Lead researcher Tim White even called Ardi the “Rosetta stone for understanding bipedalism.” But after Ardi was officially announced, other papers strongly challenged the claim that Ardi was bipedal. One article in Science commented that “All of the Ar. ramidus bipedal characters cited also serve the mechanical requisites of quadrupedality.” Another review in Nature strongly argued that “the claim that Ardipithecus ramidus was a facultative terrestrial biped is vitiated because it is based on highly speculative inferences about the presence of lumbar lordosis and on relatively few features of the pelvis and foot.”
It must be the most common picture that used to explain the concept ‘evolution’. The new discovery ‘Ardi’ attracts me that people may find another good example to help us understand how we evolved into bipedalism.

The document summarizes the development, implementation and initial evaluation of a social marketing campaign at a university aimed at preventing sexual violence. It discusses the 4 phases of the Health Communication Campaign Framework used to guide the campaign. Phase 1 involved convening a working group to address the issue. Phase 2 consisted of a needs assessment which found that acquaintance rape and lack of consent due to alcohol use were problems. Phase 3 was implementing campaign messages promoting consent. Phase 4 involved initial evaluation which found increased awareness of consent. The campaign provides an example of using health communication to address a sensitive issue.

I was assigned to care for eight patients that night, which is not an unusual number of patients, but they all were either fresh post-ops or so very sick. Four patients had just had surgery that day. One patient was on a dopamine drip to maintain his blood pressure, so he needed frequent monitoring. One patient was suspected to have meningitis, one patient had pneumonia, and a patient with suspected histoplasmosis completed my assignment.
One of my post-op patients was Betty Smith, a young woman in her early thirties who had laparoscopic surgery late in the day. She had been transferred from the recovery room late in the evening shift and was very uncomfortable when I fi ...
1. Socrates - In your view, what was it about Socrates’ teachings
1. Socrates - In your view, what was it about Socrates’ teachings that made him dangerous in the minds of the members of the ruling class of Athens; and what was it about his teachings that attracted his students to him?
2. Plato - Of his many ideas, which do you think has been his most influential, and why?
3. Aristotle - Share your own views on Aristotle's break with Plato on the question of private property and wealth accumulation. Is Aristotle's argument persuasive and superior? Or was it weak, and even dangerous?
4. Birth of Christianity as a Religion - Imagine the the Council of Nicaea ended with the Gospel of Mary being included in the New Testament. How might Western Civilization have developed differently if this book, and it's suggestion the Jesus’ closest disciple, the one he revered the most, was actually a woman? Do you think we might have inherited a less misogynistic society in which women are treated more as equals?
7. The encomienda system used by the Spaniards to enslave the indigenous peoples of the New World, especially as practiced in Mexico, became controversial in Spain. Describe the encomienda system and the arguments used for and against it.
8. Describe why it is that many historians argue that King Henry VIII of England played a critical role in the rise of capitalism.
9. By the time Adam Smith’s An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations was published in 1776, Europe had undergone a dramatic transformation from a feudal, largely agrarian society to an increasingly market-based commercial society. Discuss some of the more significant, transformative societal developments, and their implications, from 1492 to 1776.
10. Much has been written about the so-called “Adam Smith Problem;” the apparent dichotomy between his Theory of Moral Sentiments and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. Discuss whether these two works are reconcilable with one another. Do they reflect two very different imaginations of humans? Do they suggest that the author changed his mind after writing the first book? Might they represent a more complex and unifiable imagination of who we are or can be?
11. The garment industry is the second-most polluting in the world. A significant amount of this pollution is from “fast fashion” “disposable” clothing; a business model that relies on people, including children, making clothes under conditions that we would consider intolerable. Psychologists and marketers alike agree that our buying and consumption is largely driven by psychological impulses of which we may not be fully conscious. Indeed, as experts posit in the film The True Cost, consuming more can have a negative effect on our psyche. What social, ethical, economic and/or philosophical issues are raised by The True Cost documentary? Why do we tolerate such a system?
12. Many people agree with Immanuel Kant's argument that we should never treat other people as means to an end; we should treat each pers ...

PEERS QUESTION AND POST:
How does having a growth mindset affect students?
When having a growth mindset, you will always believe that there is room to grow. You will not be comfortable and complacent. With a growth mindset, you are always wanting to become better. It helps students know that they are not stuck and that they can achieve any goal they want. I believe that having that growth mindset gives students motivation to want to do better and be better.

Thinking Styles and Product Development Project Types:
How to Match Them?

Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Trg Dositeja Obradovica 6, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia
Abstract
Focusing on the characteristics of different thinking styles and different product development project types, we suggest that
people should adapt their thinking strategies according to the challenge they face and choose a thinking style that is a best match
for the type of project they are working on. Even though people can perform well in more than one thinking style, they can be
more successful if they adequately choose the most appropriate one for solving the problem in front of them. Considering that
different thinking styles have different ideas and conclusions as results, we propose how to match them to a specific product
development project type that has a certain degree of change in the product as a deliverable. For further research, these findings
open the possibility to define the most appropriate creative problem solving methods and techniques that spur and support a
specific style of thinking.

1. Read the story first.
2. Bold Face Terms:
Make a separate list of all the definitions of the bold face terms in the story first from your reference sources like a medical dictionary or website etc.
Start by listing all the bold face medical terms and their definitions and cite your sources of reference. Example: appendectomy: the surgical excision of the organ known as the appendix which is a vestigial organ (Webster, 2010)
Then list all your full references at the bottom of your work.
Submit this list as part of your work.
3. Translate definitions into simple terms and insert them into the story:
Next, translate all of the bold faced medical terms into simple language as if you are explaining it to a patient or to someone who may not understand medical terminology and incorporate these simple translations into your story.
This means you should remove the actual medical terms in bold face print but leave the meaning in place with your translated explanations of these terms.
Your finished work should be easily understood. It is OK to alter the sentence structure to accomodate your translations.
Remember to use simple basic language to explain these complicated medical terms to another person.
Highlight your new translation either by bold facing or capitalizing the words.
Do not just insert the definitions. You will not get credit for this and points will be taken off.
The goal here is for you to learn how make the complicated sound simple.
Example:
Initial sentence with medical term in place: The patient is having an appendectomy.
Translation into simple terms in your story: The patient is have his appendix cut out and removed.
In other words, rewrite the story completely in layman's terms or plain English so that someone without a medical or science background would be able to understand.
Your translation must be clear and easy to understand.
Take into account the context of how the terms were used.
You must use all the bold faced terms "translated meanings" in your story.
So when you are complete you will have a list of terms plus definitions (with sources cited) plus a rewritten story in plain English.
4. Submitting Your Completed Work:
Submit your work on a Microsoft Word document using the attachment tool.
Submit all work as one WORD document.. Your file name should end in .doc or .docx or you can use a plain text file format ending in .rtf
If unsure how to do this please contact tech support.
Include your list of definitions and your translated story and your references.
Be sure to run a spell check on your work before submitting.
If you have any difficulty using the attachment tool please call tech support for help.
Exams may be worked on any time during the week but must be submitted on or before the due date.
Submit your exam by clicking on the title of this section "Exam I -Due..." then scroll to the bottom of the page to submit your work.

1. Read and summarize ERD paragraphs #: 59, 60, 61.
59. The free and informed judgment
made by a competent adult patient
concerning the use or withdrawal of life-
sustaining procedures should always be
respected and normally complied with,
unless it is contrary to Catholic moral
teaching.
60. Euthanasia is an action or omission
that of itself or by intention causes death
in order to alleviate suffering. Catholic
health care institutions may never
condone or participate in euthanasia or
assisted suicide in any way. Dying
patients who request euthanasia should
receive loving care, psychological and
spiritual support, and appropriate
remedies for pain and other symptoms so
that they can live with dignity until the
time of natural death.
61. Patients should be kept as free of pain
as possible so that they may die
comfortably and with dignity, and in the
place where they wish to die. Since a
person has the right to prepare for his or
her death while fully conscious, he or she
should not be deprived of consciousness
without a compelling reason. Medicines
capable of alleviating or suppressing pain
may be given to a dying person, even if
this therapy may indirectly shorten the
person’s life so long as the intent is not to
hasten death. Patients experiencing
suffering that cannot be alleviated should
be helped to appreciate the Christian
understanding of redemptive suffering.

1. President William McKinley, letter to Congress, April 25, 1898.
[I took action] under the joint resolution approved April 20, 1898, "for the recognition of the independence of the people of Cuba, demanding that the Government of Spain relinquish its authority and Government in the island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters…"
…The Government of Spain…responds by treating the reasonable demands of this Government as measures of hostility, following with that instant and complete severance of relations by its action which by the usage of nations accompanies an existent state of war between sovereign powers.
I now recommend the adoption of a joint resolution declaring that a state of war exists between the United States of America and the Kingdom of Spain…
2. Teller Amendment, Adopted by the Senate, April 19, 1898
[The United States] hereby disclaims any disposition of intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction, or control over said island except for pacification thereof, and asserts its determination, when that is accomplished, to leave the government and control of the island to its people.

. . . [J]ust beyond the Philippines are China's illimitable markets. . . We will not renounce our part in the mission of our race, trustee of God, of the civilization of the world. . . Where shall we turn for consumers of our surplus?. . . China is our natural customer. . . [England, Germany and Russia] have moved nearer to China by securing permanent bases on her borders. The Philippines gives us a base at the door of all the East. . .
They [the Filipinos] are a barbarous race, modified by three centuries of contact with a decadent race [the Spanish]. . . It is barely possible that 1,000 men in all the archipelago are capable of self-government in the Anglo-Saxon sense. . .
The Declaration [of Independence] applies only to people capable of self-government. How dare any man prostitute this expression of the very elect of self-government peoples to a race of Malay children of barbarism, schooled in Spanish methods and ideas? And you, who say the Declaration applies to all men, how dare you deny its application to the American Indian? And if you deny it to the Indian at home, how dare you grant it to the Malay abroad.

1. Prof. Lennart Van der Zeil’s theorem says that any programming language is complete if it can be used to write a program to compute any computable number.
a. What is a computable number?
b. What is a non-computable number?
c. If all existing programming languages are complete why do we need more than one?
2. Two methodologies are used to transform programs written in a source language (also known as a programmer-oriented language, or a horizontal language, or a high-level language) into a target language (also known as a machine language, or a vertical language, or a low-level language). There is a static method called translation and a dynamic method called interpretation. Yet FORTRAN while 98% static ., uses interpretation for the Formatted I/O statement, similarly COBOL uses interpretation for the MOVE and MOVE CORRESPONDING statements; on the other hand, Java is fully interpretative except that in some programs and certain data sets it may invoke a JIT (Just In Time) compiler to execute a bit of static code. Why do language designers mix these modalities if either is complete? Hint: This is a long question with a short answer.
3. C and C++ store numerical arrays (matrices) in row major order and each index range must begin with 0; whereas FORTRAN stores arrays in column major order and the (default) index range starts (almost always) with 1. Engineers and scientists are often faced with the problem of converting a working program, or much more often a subroutine, from one language to another. Unfortunately, due to the index range difference (0 to n-1) in C/C++ and (1 to N) in FORTRAN, viewing one array as simply the transpose of the other will not suffice. What steps would you take to convert such a subroutine to compute the product of two matrices A(N,M) and B(M,N) to produce C(N,N) from FORTRAN to C++?
4. What was the major reason Jim Gosling invented Java? Did he succeed?
5. What are the four major features of C++ that were eliminated in Java? Why were they taken out? Why do we not miss them?
6. What was Kim Polese’ role at SUN Microsystems and why did she think Java should be positioned as a general purpose computer programming language? How did she accomplish this truly incredible feat, not done since Captain (later Admiral) Grace Murray Hopper, USN standardized COBOL in the early 1960s.
7. Describe briefly the role of women in the development of computer programming and computer programming languages. (Ada Lovelace, Betty Holberton, Grace Hopper, Mandaly Grems, Kim Polese, Laura Lemay)

Preparing for assessments
Content covered
Have enough knowledge on the university assessments before you start doing it.
Comments on readings/practice.
Making study plan and Managing time are the best method to have the peace of mind.
Most interesting points
Feeling organised when finish multiple assessments in the right time.
Most difficult points
Reading the academic articles and find the relative information that supports my topic, How to discuss more in depth.
· Introduction
The above session provided the best academic and coordination skills by explained the multiple essential tips of preparing properly for the assessments and considering the times determinant, which encouraged me to think and write professionally.
· Reflection Discussion on the study plan for assessments
As the English language is my second tongue, I have faced many difficulties with reading and writing academic articles. I found the above topic has a significant impact positively to prepare my assessments in advance, especially when it displays at the beginning of my first semester in the university. However, an ongoing experience on what I gained from this session has a huge impact on me. For instance, after this session, I organised a table that shows each type of the assessments separately, and each one has its basics and elements in its allotted box. As a result, while I’m doing my estimates, I refer to my table and find my structures ready, which helps me seize the time and be more skilled.
· Reflection Discussion on prepare well for my assessments.
As I'm in my first year at the university, I thought there was no need to have an entire assessments plan. Later on, I noticed that working on assessments without organising a plan affects the whole semester assessments, which might cause time conflict in the Assignments due date. I wasn't aware of how important it is the preparing and reading enough sources before start writing. However, Glancing and reading enough information can convert the assessment from stress work to exciting work, which will help set the scene and allow me to think critically and write academically. Based on the benefits that I acquired from the session, the critical thinking and in depth discussion in a particular topic will need to be supported by academic information from reading more articles and spend more time on this part of the work. After this session, I became able to organise my assessments, which allow me to have enough time to working on them and preventing some of the study stresses and cramming. Also, I have been able to take a period to refresh my mind and get my memory retention. However, there is no doubt that it encouraged me to provide the work in a prime manner. This experience will be beneficial in my subsequent semesters to develop my ability to be further organised in my study and aware of how to prepare before the assessments.

1. Project Description Definition of Project
The supervision of workers' operations or corporate functions is difficult work for the administrative environment. Modern frameworks have certain limitations in the implementation of integrated workforce control functions. This project aims to improve the structure of EMS (employee management system). The new framework helps administrators to trace staff profiles, particularly their tasks, and it will capture the present position. The accompanying boss forecasts the workforce requirements by detailed information of workers and plans a valid timeline for each employee to reduce the difficulties of collaborative working. This project focuses on developing a user-friendly interface that helps supervisors reliably collect or store information for workers (Abdulhamid, Dada, & Ajibuwa, 2019).
2. Plan scale, deliverables, and outcomes
This project has a high scope since many companies compete for previous techniques to monitor employee records, but face challenges with data quality and human-made errors. EMS enables organizations to capture, store and exchange the details needed about current and recently entered staff. The present state of the delegated activities of workers would inevitably be monitored by employee supervision and their responsibilities would also be mainly helpful. Through the use of the EMS framework, quality control levels will ultimately be possible to delegate workers the correct stress and improve employee loyalty. The corporation would raise employee engagement rates, which would also increase group morale and person efficiency (Abdulhamid, Dada, & Ajibuwa, 2019).
3. The Project Limitations
Two main limitations, such as effort and money, have been faced throughout the project implementation period. For this sort of IT project, capital resources are important since it incorporates certain hardware and software requirements in the procurement and the project faces difficulties throughout the development process owing to proper evaluation on a budget schedule. Time is another requirement for this project. Any project mission has to be accomplished within a very limited time but job-related problems have been induced by a combination of vacations and the shortage of project participants due to sickness. However, this project was performed using productive management techniques, which collaborated in collaboration for the successful coordination and communication of the project (Denney, 2020).
4. Recommendation of Project
This initiative is about handling and tracking staff, so privacy and protection are the two main employee issues. EMS shops or collect all workers' employee records. This means that owing to certain software fixes or gaps, security attacks such as ransomware, insider attacks, and unauthorized entry, security safety is a high priority of this initiative. So, in this project, I would like to see certain improvements, first of all, I would suggest gaining some financia ...

1. The 3 genes that you will compare at listed below. Take a look.
1. The 3 genes that you will compare at listed below. Take a look. I’ve colored ‘the header region’ of each so that you can distinguish one from the other. DO NOT CHANGE THE FORMAT. DO NOT ADD TEXT OF ANY SORT. WHEN YOU COPY THE GENE DON’T FORGET TO INCLUDE THE ‘HEADER (RED) REGION (starting with “>”). The ‘>’ symbol tells the software the start of the gene. and the red region DESCRIBES THE GENE (SEQUENCE).
2. Using your computer, open the program (used to compare them). The link is http://multalin.toulouse.inra.fr/multalin/ (cut and paste link into your browser)
3. Copy THE FIRST 2 SEQUENCES ONLY (1 and 2) and paste into the “white box-region” just below region marked Sequence-data. Make sure you copy the entire sequence for each gene including the ‘> symbol and red heading’.
4. Click the region below the box marked “Start MultiAlin’. This starts your comparison
5. Examine results. Make note of the colors. If the colors are ‘alike’ that means the sequences are similar. THIS PROGRAM USES COLOR TO DETERMINE HOW SIMILAR 2 SEQUENCES ARE.SAME COLOR MEANS THEY ARE SIMILAR.
6. Use the back-space button and return to the original screen. Delete the sequences in the white box. This allows for a new comparison.
7. Paste sequences 2 and 3 in the box. this allows for comparison of sequences 2 and 3, similar to what was done for 1 and 2.
8. Click the “Start MultiAlin” just like before.
9. Note the color- scheme. Compare what you observed for 1 and 2. Which are more similar 1 and 2, or 2 and 3?
10. For full credit, you should copy results from comparison of 1-2 and separately, 2-3. Doesn’t matter if you don’t have color printer.
11. Or… at the bottom of the image page, there is a command --- “Results as a gif file’. It is located under the region marked, ‘AVAILABLE FILES’… Click on this (Results as a gif file’) and print your results. Staple the first comparison to the second, and turn in. or give as computer file. Which ever are more convenient? Tell me which 2 comparisons (ie, genes) are more alike.
COMPARISON SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS… (red= exactly alike; blue = different sequence). I want you to take note of the sequences that red compared to those regions that are blue…)… the bottom = summary of the comparison- gene 1 versus 2) (more red= more alike)
There are 3 genes below… they start with the > symbol…

CASE STUDY—BEWARE: One Emergency May Hide Another!
A hospital submitted a report to the State Board of Nursing reporting that an RN had been terminated after the death of a patient following surgery for a tubal pregnancy.
THE NURSE'S STORY—SALLY SIMMS, RN
I had worked the medical-surgical units at the General Hospital ever since graduating from my nursing program 4 years before. This was the worst night, the worst shift, of my nursing career.
I was assigned to care for eight patients that night, which is not an unusual number of patients, but they all were either fresh post-ops or so very sick. Four patients had just had surgery that day. One patient was on a dopamine drip to maintain his blood pressure, so he needed frequent monitoring. One patient was suspected to have meningitis, one patient had pneumonia, and a patient with suspected histoplasmosis completed my assignment.
One of my post-op patients was Betty Smith, a young woman in her early thirties who had laparoscopic surgery late in the day. She had been transferred from the recovery room late in the evening shift and was very uncomfortable when I fi ...
1. Socrates - In your view, what was it about Socrates’ teachings
1. Socrates - In your view, what was it about Socrates’ teachings that made him dangerous in the minds of the members of the ruling class of Athens; and what was it about his teachings that attracted his students to him?
2. Plato - Of his many ideas, which do you think has been his most influential, and why?
3. Aristotle - Share your own views on Aristotle's break with Plato on the question of private property and wealth accumulation. Is Aristotle's argument persuasive and superior? Or was it weak, and even dangerous?
4. Birth of Christianity as a Religion - Imagine the the Council of Nicaea ended with the Gospel of Mary being included in the New Testament. How might Western Civilization have developed differently if this book, and it's suggestion the Jesus’ closest disciple, the one he revered the most, was actually a woman? Do you think we might have inherited a less misogynistic society in which women are treated more as equals?
7. The encomienda system used by the Spaniards to enslave the indigenous peoples of the New World, especially as practiced in Mexico, became controversial in Spain. Describe the encomienda system and the arguments used for and against it.
8. Describe why it is that many historians argue that King Henry VIII of England played a critical role in the rise of capitalism.
9. By the time Adam Smith’s An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations was published in 1776, Europe had undergone a dramatic transformation from a feudal, largely agrarian society to an increasingly market-based commercial society. Discuss some of the more significant, transformative societal developments, and their implications, from 1492 to 1776.
10. Much has been written about the so-called “Adam Smith Problem;” the apparent dichotomy between his Theory of Moral Sentiments and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. Discuss whether these two works are reconcilable with one another. Do they reflect two very different imaginations of humans? Do they suggest that the author changed his mind after writing the first book? Might they represent a more complex and unifiable imagination of who we are or can be?
11. The garment industry is the second-most polluting in the world. A significant amount of this pollution is from “fast fashion” “disposable” clothing; a business model that relies on people, including children, making clothes under conditions that we would consider intolerable. Psychologists and marketers alike agree that our buying and consumption is largely driven by psychological impulses of which we may not be fully conscious. Indeed, as experts posit in the film The True Cost, consuming more can have a negative effect on our psyche. What social, ethical, economic and/or philosophical issues are raised by The True Cost documentary? Why do we tolerate such a system?

PEERS QUESTION AND POST:
How does having a growth mindset affect students?
When having a growth mindset, you will always believe that there is room to grow. You will not be comfortable and complacent. With a growth mindset, you are always wanting to become better. It helps students know that they are not stuck and that they can achieve any goal they want. I believe that having that growth mindset gives students motivation to want to do better and be better.

Abstract
Focusing on the characteristics of different thinking styles and different product development project types, we suggest that
people should adapt their thinking strategies according to the challenge they face and choose a thinking style that is a best match
for the type of project they are working on. Even though people can perform well in more than one thinking style, they can be
more successful if they adequately choose the most appropriate one for solving the problem in front of them. Considering that
different thinking styles have different ideas and conclusions as results, we propose how to match them to a specific product
development project type that has a certain degree of change in the product as a deliverable. For further research, these findings
open the possibility to define the most appropriate creative problem solving methods and techniques that spur and support a
specific style of thinking.

1. Introduction
Product development has been defined as one of the riskiest, yet most important endeavours of the modern
corporation [1]. To respond to the changing environment and stay competitive in long-term, companies need to
provide quality, variety, novelty and functionality of products for their customers [2]. This requires constant
improvement of existing products, as we ...

1. Read the story first.
2. Bold Face Terms:
Make a separate list of all the definitions of the bold face terms in the story first from your reference sources like a medical dictionary or website etc.
Start by listing all the bold face medical terms and their definitions and cite your sources of reference. Example: appendectomy: the surgical excision of the organ known as the appendix which is a vestigial organ (Webster, 2010)
Then list all your full references at the bottom of your work.
Submit this list as part of your work.
3. Translate definitions into simple terms and insert them into the story:
Next, translate all of the bold faced medical terms into simple language as if you are explaining it to a patient or to someone who may not understand medical terminology and incorporate these simple translations into your story.
This means you should remove the actual medical terms in bold face print but leave the meaning in place with your translated explanations of these terms.
Your finished work should be easily understood. It is OK to alter the sentence structure to accomodate your translations.
Remember to use simple basic language to explain these complicated medical terms to another person.
Highlight your new translation either by bold facing or capitalizing the words.
Do not just insert the definitions. You will not get credit for this and points will be taken off.
The goal here is for you to learn how make the complicated sound simple.
Example:
Initial sentence with medical term in place: The patient is having an appendectomy.
Translation into simple terms in your story: The patient is have his appendix cut out and removed.
In other words, rewrite the story completely in layman's terms or plain English so that someone without a medical or science background would be able to understand.
Your translation must be clear and easy to understand.
Take into account the context of how the terms were used.
You must use all the bold faced terms "translated meanings" in your story.
So when you are complete you will have a list of terms plus definitions (with sources cited) plus a rewritten story in plain English.
4. Submitting Your Completed Work:
Submit your work on a Microsoft Word document using the attachment tool.
Submit all work as one WORD document.. Your file name should end in .doc or .docx or you can use a plain text file format ending in .rtf
If unsure how to do this please contact tech support.
Include your list of definitions and your translated story and your references.
Be sure to run a spell check on your work before submitting.
If you have any difficulty using the attachment tool please call tech support for help.
Exams may be worked on any time during the week but must be submitted on or before the due date.

1. Read and summarize ERD paragraphs #: 59, 60, 61.
59. The free and informed judgment
made by a competent adult patient
concerning the use or withdrawal of life-
sustaining procedures should always be
respected and normally complied with,
unless it is contrary to Catholic moral
teaching.
60. Euthanasia is an action or omission
that of itself or by intention causes death
in order to alleviate suffering. Catholic
health care institutions may never
condone or participate in euthanasia or
assisted suicide in any way. Dying
patients who request euthanasia should
receive loving care, psychological and
spiritual support, and appropriate
remedies for pain and other symptoms so
that they can live with dignity until the
time of natural death.
61. Patients should be kept as free of pain
as possible so that they may die
comfortably and with dignity, and in the
place where they wish to die. Since a
person has the right to prepare for his or
her death while fully conscious, he or she
should not be deprived of consciousness
without a compelling reason. Medicines
capable of alleviating or suppressing pain
may be given to a dying person, even if
this therapy may indirectly shorten the
person’s life so long as the intent is not to
hasten death. Patients experiencing
suffering that cannot be alleviated should
be helped to appreciate the Christian
understanding of redemptive suffering.

…The Government of Spain…responds by treating the reasonable demands of this Government as measures of hostility, following with that instant and complete severance of relations by its action which by the usage of nations accompanies an existent state of war between sovereign powers.
I now recommend the adoption of a joint resolution declaring that a state of war exists between the United States of America and the Kingdom of Spain…

Where shall we turn for consumers of our surplus?. . . China is our natural customer. . . [England, Germany and Russia] have moved nearer to China by securing permanent bases on her borders. The Philippines gives us a base at the door of all the East. . .

The Declaration [of Independence] applies only to people capable of self-government. How dare any man prostitute this expression of the very elect of self-government peoples to a race of Malay children of barbarism, schooled in Spanish methods and ideas? And you, who say the Declaration applies to all men, how dare you deny its application to the American Indian? And if you deny it to the Indian at home, how dare you grant it to the Malay abroad.

1. Prof. Lennart Van der Zeil’s theorem says that any programming
1. Prof. Lennart Van der Zeil’s theorem says that any programming language is complete if it can be used to write a program to compute any computable number.
a. What is a computable number?
b. What is a non-computable number?
c. If all existing programming languages are complete why do we need more than one?
2. Two methodologies are used to transform programs written in a source language (also known as a programmer-oriented language, or a horizontal language, or a high-level language) into a target language (also known as a machine language, or a vertical language, or a low-level language). There is a static method called translation and a dynamic method called interpretation. Yet FORTRAN while 98% static ., uses interpretation for the Formatted I/O statement, similarly COBOL uses interpretation for the MOVE and MOVE CORRESPONDING statements; on the other hand, Java is fully interpretative except that in some programs and certain data sets it may invoke a JIT (Just In Time) compiler to execute a bit of static code. Why do language designers mix these modalities if either is complete? Hint: This is a long question with a short answer.
3. C and C++ store numerical arrays (matrices) in row major order and each index range must begin with 0; whereas FORTRAN stores arrays in column major order and the (default) index range starts (almost always) with 1. Engineers and scientists are often faced with the problem of converting a working program, or much more often a subroutine, from one language to another. Unfortunately, due to the index range difference (0 to n-1) in C/C++ and (1 to N) in FORTRAN, viewing one array as simply the transpose of the other will not suffice. What steps would you take to convert such a subroutine to compute the product of two matrices A(N,M) and B(M,N) to produce C(N,N) from FORTRAN to C++?
4. What was the major reason Jim Gosling invented Java? Did he succeed?

Preparing for assessments
Content covered
Have enough knowledge on the university assessments before you start doing it.
Comments on readings/practice.
Making study plan and Managing time are the best method to have the peace of mind.
Most interesting points
Feeling organised when finish multiple assessments in the right time.
Most difficult points
Reading the academic articles and find the relative information that supports my topic, How to discuss more in depth.
· Introduction
The above session provided the best academic and coordination skills by explained the multiple essential tips of preparing properly for the assessments and considering the times determinant, which encouraged me to think and write professionally.
· Reflection Discussion on the study plan for assessments
As the English language is my second tongue, I have faced many difficulties with reading and writing academic articles. I found the above topic has a significant impact positively to prepare my assessments in advance, especially when it displays at the beginning of my first semester in the university. However, an ongoing experience on what I gained from this session has a huge impact on me. For instance, after this session, I organised a table that shows each type of the assessments separately, and each one has its basics and elements in its allotted box. As a result, while I’m doing my estimates, I refer to my table and find my structures ready, which helps me seize the time and be more skilled.
· Reflection Discussion on prepare well for my assessments.
As I'm in my first year at the university, I thought there was no need to have an entire assessments plan. Later on, I noticed that working on assessments without organising a plan affects the whole semester assessments, which might cause time conflict in the Assignments due date. I wasn't aware of how important it is the preparing and reading enough sources before start writing. However, Glancing and reading enough information can convert the assessment from stress work to exciting work, which will help set the scene and allow me to think critically and write academically. Based on the benefits that I acquired from the session, the critical thinking and in depth discussion in a particular topic will need to be supported by academic information from reading more articles and spend more time on this part of the work. After this session, I became able to organise my assessments, which allow me to have enough time to working on them and preventing some of the study stresses and cramming. Also, I have been able to take a period to refresh my mind and get my memory retention. However, there is no doubt that it encouraged me to provide the work in a prime manner. This experience will be beneficial in my subsequent semesters to develop my ability to be further organised in my study and aware of how to prepare before the assessments.

1. Project Description Definition of Project
The supervision of workers' operations or corporate functions is difficult work for the administrative environment. Modern frameworks have certain limitations in the implementation of integrated workforce control functions. This project aims to improve the structure of EMS (employee management system). The new framework helps administrators to trace staff profiles, particularly their tasks, and it will capture the present position. The accompanying boss forecasts the workforce requirements by detailed information of workers and plans a valid timeline for each employee to reduce the difficulties of collaborative working. This project focuses on developing a user-friendly interface that helps supervisors reliably collect or store information for workers (Abdulhamid, Dada, & Ajibuwa, 2019).
2. Plan scale, deliverables, and outcomes
This project has a high scope since many companies compete for previous techniques to monitor employee records, but face challenges with data quality and human-made errors. EMS enables organizations to capture, store and exchange the details needed about current and recently entered staff. The present state of the delegated activities of workers would inevitably be monitored by employee supervision and their responsibilities would also be mainly helpful. Through the use of the EMS framework, quality control levels will ultimately be possible to delegate workers the correct stress and improve employee loyalty. The corporation would raise employee engagement rates, which would also increase group morale and person efficiency (Abdulhamid, Dada, & Ajibuwa, 2019).
3. The Project Limitations
Two main limitations, such as effort and money, have been faced throughout the project implementation period. For this sort of IT project, capital resources are important since it incorporates certain hardware and software requirements in the procurement and the project faces difficulties throughout the development process owing to proper evaluation on a budget schedule. Time is another requirement for this project. Any project mission has to be accomplished within a very limited time but job-related problems have been induced by a combination of vacations and the shortage of project participants due to sickness. However, this project was performed using productive management techniques, which collaborated in collaboration for the successful coordination and communication of the project (Denney, 2020).
4. Recommendation of Project
This initiative is about handling and tracking staff, so privacy and protection are the two main employee issues. EMS shops or collect all workers' employee records. This means that owing to certain software fixes or gaps, security attacks such as ransomware, insider attacks, and unauthorized entry, security safety is a high priority of this initiative. So, in this project, I would like to see certain improvements, first of all, I would suggest gaining some financia ...
