Financial statements are crucial documents with details of what the company earns, how they earn, as well as what and how the company spends its money.
The income statement shows figures of profitability of that given company over a period of time. The statements usually include detailed sections of revenue, gains in addition to their expenses and losses. If revenue and gains are greater than expenses and losses, the income statement will show a profit for the company
The balance sheet provides information about the company's financial situation over a period of time. This information is used to make certain business decisions for future projects, plans or general business operations. The balance sheet includes more information than that of the income statement. This information included the company's assets, liabilities, in addition to the stockholders' equity (their investment). The assets should always equal liabilities, plus the stockholders investment(s).

Good! The income statement tells us what we've earned, our sales and expenses, and in the balance sheet we see our assets and liabilities, and owner's equity. The equity will also increase if we have net income and other investments from our owners. Our income statement tells us a lot especially when we compare months over time - we can see trends of expenses and revenues; and analyze what has changed.

Other than the income and balance sheets, there are two other documents that are just as important. More about these will be mentioned in this week and class.
Owners equity statement - This shows and explains changes in the retained earnings. Retained earnings are on the balance sheet and will change due to incomes or dividends.

Donald,
You bring up a great point about the cash flow statement. I was a small business owner in a retail strip center. I cant tell you how many conversations I had with fellow business owners that were struggling to pay there bills; however they showed a profit. The company used the money in various ways other than appropriately such as product that did not sell, decorations, "write-offs" for their home. I do believe that many small businesses fail because they are underfunded and do not use simple accounting principles to determine its health.

Government and Not-For-Profit Accounting
Value of Donated Assets
Which is the proper value to be assigned to certain donated assets? (This is a question for which answers cannot be found in either GASB pronouncements or the text), research is necessary.
A city’s road maintenance department received “donations” of two type of assets:
1. From the county in which the city is located it received earthmoving equipment. The equipment had cost the county $800,000 when it was acquired five years earlier. Accounted for in a county proprietary fund, its book value, net of accumulated depreciation at the time of donation, was $500,000. Its fair market value was $530,000.
2. From the city’s own utility fund (a proprietary fund) it received motor vehicles that had cost the city $400,000 when acquired three years earlier. At the time of transfer, the vehicles were recorded on the utility’s books at $180,000, net of accumulated depreciation. Their fair market value was #225,000.
Write a 1000 word, APA you answer style paper where the following:
1. At what value should the city record in its government-wide financial statements for: (1) the earth-moving equipment, and (2) the motor vehicles?
1. Briefly justify your response, commenting on any apparent inconsistencies in the values assigned to each of the two types of assets.
1. Comment on the significance of the resultant book values for decisions or assessments to be made by statement users.
Myth Clash Paper #1
Zheng Hui
The present paper will discuss how different ancient poets describe the myths. It will compare and Contrast the two versions of the myth of the Cyclops Polyphemus in the Archaic Greek poet Homer’s Odyssey (EH 298-314) and in the Hellenistic poet Theocritus' poem (Idyll 11) (ACM 399-401). It will also elaborate how Roman poet Ovid combine elements from each of these earlier poets’ versions to make his own version of the myth in his poem, the Metamorphoses (OM 374-381). In general, the paper will discuss and analyze the differences and similarities among several versions from different aspects including characters, features, techniques and others.
According to ancient Greek myth, there were three separate tribes of the mythical, one eyed giants known as Cyclops, or Cyclopes. One of them is the Ouranian Cyclopes, who was the offspring of Gaea and Ouranos. Besides, there is also another Cyclops called the mason-Cyclopes, who represents workers in Hephaestus’s forge. The third one is the shepherd-like Cyclopes, who was neighbors of the island-dwelling Polyphemus, who was a son of Poseidon (Weinstock, 2013). Based on the description of the Cyclopes in the ancient Greek myth, one feature that is present in all these Cyclopes is that they had one unique anatomy. In addition, they all had a single round eye in the middle of their foreheads. In fact, the eye, according to the Greek poet Hesiod, is the source of their name.
In Greek, Cyclops means “circle-eye.” These giants .

SPE 352N Module 3 Lecture Instructional Strategies for Teaching Students With MR
When thinking about how to instruct students with mental retardation, educators must consider the fact that instructional organization and effective instructional delivery are the keys to success. Instruction is not just done in some sort of haphazard, discovery-learning manner without any particular goals in mind; rather, teachers should be thinking about their students' particular disability and their associated learning characteristics from start to finish.
Three Assumptions To Guide Instructional Delivery
Assumptions in science have to do with laying out ground rules or basic agreements about how something is to be interpreted, discussed, or studied by interested parties; it is much like setting the rules for playing a game. Similarly, teachers need basic assumptions to govern the science and practice of teaching. The first assumption teachers should come to agreement about is that due to the unique learning characteristics of students with mental retardation, instructional procedures that work well for typically developing students may not work as well with this population (Taylor, Richards, & Brady, 2005). The learning characteristics of students with mental retardation will ultimately affect what actual skills will be learned and what educational goals can realistically be attained. So while typically developing students will benefit from the global general education curriculum, the educational goals and specific skills students with mental retardation will focus on will depend heavily on the decisions of an individualized education plan (IEP) team as they consider the unique educational needs and monitor instructional progress over time (Miner & Bates, 1997).
The second assumption teachers of students with mental retardation should adhere to is that instructional progress can only be obtained if that instruction is direct and explicit. The idea that typically developing students do not need precise instruction to make academic gains is losing ground in America because s.

· WEEK 1: Databases and SecurityLesson
· Databases and Security
Databases are in just about everything we use today. When you are performing any task, think to yourself, Does this involve a database in some way?
As a daily process, communication occurs between people by many mediums, but there is no other medium more utilized than the large internetwork of computer systems we know as the Internet. When we look at some of the transactions that are performed on a daily basis, it is highly likely that there is a database involved. For example, if you open a web page to www.google.com and type a keyword in the textbox to search for, this process starts a series of searches through multiple databases. Another example is when searching for a book in the APUS library, this search is conducted using a database of books known as a catalog. so databases play an integral part in our daily lives; they store millions of pieces of data and more is collected each day (Basta, 2012).
In recent years, we find that technology has expanded to the reaches of utilities and production environments. Many of the utilities we come to rely on so heavily, such as gas, oil and electric, have been tied into the networks we use today. This interconnection allows for many new innovations in keeping everything in working order, but at the same time it also presents some very real threats to security. In reality, an intruder could take down an entire electrical grid which would remove power to millions of customers. An article in CIO Insight gives a great perspective on this and other issues in security where databases play such an important role (CIOInsight, 2011).
With the importance of securing the database infrastructure, we need to look at a multilayered approach to security. As can be seen in many security programs, multiple layers allow for strong security because it adds another roadblock that an intruder has to bypass to get to these systems. This same approach leads us to begin with the foundation of security; the CIA Triad. It all begins with the most basic approach, computer security and moves forward from that point on. Below is a detailed description of the components of the CIA Triad from (Basta, 2012):
· Confidentiality: For a system to provide confidentiality, it needs to do two things: ensure that information maintains its privacy by limiting authorized access to resources; block unauthorized access to resources.
· Integrity: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedure, and design in order to create and maintain reliable, consistent, and complete information and systems.
· Availability: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedures, and design to maintain the accessibility of resources on a network or within a database. These resources include, but are not limited to, data, applications, other databases, computers, servers, applications, files, drives, shares, and network access.

· Unit 4 Citizen RightsINTRODUCTIONIn George Orwells Animal.docx
· Unit 4 Citizen Rights
INTRODUCTION
In George Orwell's Animal Farm, the assertion that "all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others" signals the breakdown of any semblance of a fair society. We have probably all experienced it: a situation where someone who was better connected, more influential, or in a position of power could advance far beyond the position or actions of the common person. On a typical day, this happens in travel, restaurant seating, the selection of a church pew, and the line at the grocery store.
It should not, however, happen in our public services. As citizens, we all have rights, and we all have the same rights. That is the beauty of the United States's democratic government structure, and perhaps one of the most cherished aspects of it. Economic and social diversity aside, when we interact with the government, we expect to receive the same treatment, whether we are a Rockefeller or a plumber. The reality is that this balance of citizen rights is difficult to achieve, because in many cases, those wielding power and influence attempt to trump equity.
TOGGLE DRAWERHIDE FULL INTRODUCTION
Inherent in the concept of citizenship is the exchange wherein citizens give allegiance to a nation and receive protection offered by that nation. Citizens therefore have certain privileges in the eyes of the nation, such as the right to vote, to pay taxes, and to refuse certain actions, such as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because it refers to God. There are benefits and entitlements that the citizen can demand from the government. These rights are balanced by responsibilities, such as upholding the law, participating in government, and engaging in the same privileges previously mentioned.
In this unit, issues of the middle class, the welfare state, and what constitutes citizenship will be examined based on the concept of citizen rights.

But at the moment Cleófilas was busy looking for Chela, her maid of honor, to fulfill their bouquet conspiracy. She would not remember her father’s parting words until later.

SPE 352N Module 3 Lecture Instructional Strategies for Teaching Students With MR
When thinking about how to instruct students with mental retardation, educators must consider the fact that instructional organization and effective instructional delivery are the keys to success. Instruction is not just done in some sort of haphazard, discovery-learning manner without any particular goals in mind; rather, teachers should be thinking about their students' particular disability and their associated learning characteristics from start to finish.
Three Assumptions To Guide Instructional Delivery
Assumptions in science have to do with laying out ground rules or basic agreements about how something is to be interpreted, discussed, or studied by interested parties; it is much like setting the rules for playing a game. Similarly, teachers need basic assumptions to govern the science and practice of teaching. The first assumption teachers should come to agreement about is that due to the unique learning characteristics of students with mental retardation, instructional procedures that work well for typically developing students may not work as well with this population (Taylor, Richards, & Brady, 2005). The learning characteristics of students with mental retardation will ultimately affect what actual skills will be learned and what educational goals can realistically be attained. So while typically developing students will benefit from the global general education curriculum, the educational goals and specific skills students with mental retardation will focus on will depend heavily on the decisions of an individualized education plan (IEP) team as they consider the unique educational needs and monitor instructional progress over time (Miner & Bates, 1997).
The second assumption teachers of students with mental retardation should adhere to is that instructional progress can only be obtained if that instruction is direct and explicit. The idea that typically developing students do not need precise instruction to make academic gains is losing ground in America because s.

· Databases and Security
Databases are in just about everything we use today. When you are performing any task, think to yourself, Does this involve a database in some way?
As a daily process, communication occurs between people by many mediums, but there is no other medium more utilized than the large internetwork of computer systems we know as the Internet. When we look at some of the transactions that are performed on a daily basis, it is highly likely that there is a database involved. For example, if you open a web page to www.google.com and type a keyword in the textbox to search for, this process starts a series of searches through multiple databases. Another example is when searching for a book in the APUS library, this search is conducted using a database of books known as a catalog. so databases play an integral part in our daily lives; they store millions of pieces of data and more is collected each day (Basta, 2012).
In recent years, we find that technology has expanded to the reaches of utilities and production environments. Many of the utilities we come to rely on so heavily, such as gas, oil and electric, have been tied into the networks we use today. This interconnection allows for many new innovations in keeping everything in working order, but at the same time it also presents some very real threats to security. In reality, an intruder could take down an entire electrical grid which would remove power to millions of customers. An article in CIO Insight gives a great perspective on this and other issues in security where databases play such an important role (CIOInsight, 2011).
With the importance of securing the database infrastructure, we need to look at a multilayered approach to security. As can be seen in many security programs, multiple layers allow for strong security because it adds another roadblock that an intruder has to bypass to get to these systems. This same approach leads us to begin with the foundation of security; the CIA Triad. It all begins with the most basic approach, computer security and moves forward from that point on. Below is a detailed description of the components of the CIA Triad from (Basta, 2012):
· Confidentiality: For a system to provide confidentiality, it needs to do two things: ensure that information maintains its privacy by limiting authorized access to resources; block unauthorized access to resources.
· Integrity: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedure, and design in order to create and maintain reliable, consistent, and complete information and systems.
· Availability: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedures, and design to maintain the accessibility of resources on a network or within a database. These resources include, but are not limited to, data, applications, other databases, computers, servers, applications, files, drives, shares, and network access.

· Unit 4 Citizen RightsINTRODUCTIONIn George Orwells Animal.docx
· Unit 4 Citizen Rights
INTRODUCTION
In George Orwell's Animal Farm, the assertion that "all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others" signals the breakdown of any semblance of a fair society. We have probably all experienced it: a situation where someone who was better connected, more influential, or in a position of power could advance far beyond the position or actions of the common person. On a typical day, this happens in travel, restaurant seating, the selection of a church pew, and the line at the grocery store.
It should not, however, happen in our public services. As citizens, we all have rights, and we all have the same rights. That is the beauty of the United States's democratic government structure, and perhaps one of the most cherished aspects of it. Economic and social diversity aside, when we interact with the government, we expect to receive the same treatment, whether we are a Rockefeller or a plumber. The reality is that this balance of citizen rights is difficult to achieve, because in many cases, those wielding power and influence attempt to trump equity.
TOGGLE DRAWERHIDE FULL INTRODUCTION
Inherent in the concept of citizenship is the exchange wherein citizens give allegiance to a nation and receive protection offered by that nation. Citizens therefore have certain privileges in the eyes of the nation, such as the right to vote, to pay taxes, and to refuse certain actions, such as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because it refers to God. There are benefits and entitlements that the citizen can demand from the government. These rights are balanced by responsibilities, such as upholding the law, participating in government, and engaging in the same privileges previously mentioned.
In this unit, issues of the middle class, the welfare state, and what constitutes citizenship will be examined based on the concept of citizen rights.

He had said, after all, in the hubbub of parting: I am your father, I will never abandon you. He had said that, hadn’t he, when he hugged and then let her go. But at the moment Cleófilas was busy looking for Chela, her maid of honor, to fulfill their bouquet conspiracy. She would not remember her father’s parting words until later. I am your father, I will never abandon you.

As in past years, computer systems do not simply record transactions of business, but essentially drive the main business procedures of the enterprise. In such a situation, superior management and business managers do have worries concerning information systems. Auditing is a methodical process by which a proficient, independent person impartially obtains and assesses evidence concerning assertions about a financial entity or occasion for the reason of outlining an outlook about and reporting on the extent to which the contention matches to an acknowledged set of standards. Auditing of information systems is the administration controls assessment inside the communications of Information Technology. The obtained proof valuation is used to decide if systems of information are defensive assets, maintenance reliability of data, and also if they are efficiently operating in order to attain organization’s goals or objectives (Hoelzer, 2009). Auditing of Information Systems has become an essential part of business organization in both large and small business environments. This paper examines the preliminary points for carrying out and Information system audit and some of the, techniques, tools, guidelines and standards that can be employed to build, manage, and examine the review function.

· Part I Key Case SummaryThis case discusses the Union Carbid.docx
· Part I: Key
Case Summary
This case discusses the Union Carbide gas leak that occurred in Bhopal, India in 1984. Over five thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were injured after water inadvertently mixed with methyl isocyanate (MIC) causing the release of a deadly gas. The plant in Bhopal was a pesticide production facility that served the increasing demand of India’s thriving farming industry. However, uncontrolled zoning allowed the plant to be built within close proximity to a densely populated region. While the plant was initially profitable, market changes negatively impacted revenue forcing budget cuts that led to the decay of maintenance and safety practices. There are several theories as to why the incident occurred such as a disgruntled employee’s maliciousness or an accidental contamination. Over several years, Union Carbide paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to the survivors and ultimately ceased to exist, while the community continues to struggle with the aftermath of the disaster.
Main Critical Issues (the list):
· India’s officials adopted careless zoning practices and allowed the construction of the plant near dense population.
· The proper safety procedures were not followed and the equipment was not being properly utilized as designed. UCIL managers placed a higher weight on cost cutting than on safety, resulting in the reduction of maintenance and safety practices.
· Union Carbide Corp. did not require frequent reporting from its subsidiary in India (UCIL), which allowed malpractices and unsafe systems in the Bhopal plant to go unnoticed.
· Union Carbide Corporation and UCIL had an ethical obligation to warn the surrounding community of potential dangers of living close to the pesticide plant
· If the case, the disgruntled employees action to sabotage the plant to take vengeance
· Employees and supervisors in the Bhopal plant did not follow numerous policies and routines that could have prevented the tragedy (e.g. acting upon the alarming increase in the tank pressure, instead of postponing it to after the tea break).
· The residents were not informed of what actions to take in the event of a toxic leak or accident.
· The employees did not use the emergency buses to evacuate surrounding residents.
·

The following are the stakeholders in the case: The Union Carbide’s Corporation Stockholders, The Bhopal’s population, The Indian Government, The Bombay Stock Exchange, The Union Carbide’s workers from de Indian subsidiary “UCIL”. The workers from Union Carbide headquarter in Connecticut, The Board of Directors of Union Carbide Headquarter, and The Board of Directors from Union Carbide’s Indian subsidiary.

· Performance Critique Assignment· During the first month of.docx
· Performance Critique Assignment
· During the first month of class, you are required to attend a theatrical production and to respond to it in the form of a performance critique (due February 29). A performance critique is a short essay in which you describe and offer your perspective on the specific choices that were made in a production. For this particular assignment, you are asked to develop an argument about how the production choices reflected (or failed to clearly reflect) the play’s central message.
· This piece of writing is uniquely tied to your own experience as a spectator in the theatre. Your critique should engage with the production as performance. This is different from doing a simple literary analysis of the main themes in the play. You should explore how these ideas are communicated through specific scenic choices – acting, directing, design, use of space, etc. – and make an argument about how these choices contributed to the production as a whole. Did they further the audience’s understanding of the message it was trying to convey? Did they make sense within the world they were trying to create? Was the text more alive because of them?
·
· *If there is a director’s note in the program, this will be particularly useful in ascertaining what the director’s intentions were or why he/she chose to stage this play in particular.
·
· A Performance Critique Looks Like:
·
· Format: 4 pages, 12-point font, double-spaced, 1” margins. Consulting other sources is not recommended (and you should definitely NOT consult other reviews of the performance), but if there is a secondary source that you feel provides important supporting information for your argument, you may use it if you include proper MLA citation.
·
· Ticket: Staple your ticket stub to the back page of your paper.
·
· Description: Give the audience a sense of the play. Include information about the name of the production, location, notable cast members, etc. Also include a very brief description of the main action, and/or the driving character relationships, and/or the genre (period piece, musical, etc.). When describing the action of the play, use the present tense.
·
· Argument: You should move far beyond saying simply whether you liked or disliked the play. Be sure to develop a clear thesis about what you think the production company was attempting to accomplish and whether they were successful.
·
· Specific Examples: Remember to provide specific examples to back up your argument. Your critique should help readers "visualize" the play. Provide relevant and evocative details. You will likely want to address several of the following elements: Acting (were the characters believable? Were they supposed to be?), Directing (Did there seem to be a unifying concept behind the production? How was that concept realized? Did the different elements of the production fit together?), Costume/Set/Lighting/Sound Design (H.

· Please read the following article excerpt, and view the video clips below. Listen carefully in order to understand as much of the Spanish as you can, using the images and contextual clues to help you get a sense of the gist of the video content.
· Next, write a 200-word response in English to the issues raised. Make sure to address the following questions:
1. What is syncretism and how does it differ from the concept of the melting pot?
2. How is Latin America’s (specifically Brazil and Cuba) experience with racial and cultural mixture different from that of the U.S.?
3. Can you give a couple of examples of syncretism in your own culture or in the U.S.?

SYNCRETISM AND ITS SYNONYMS: REFLECTIONS ON CULTURAL MIXTURE by CHARLES STEWART
(If you would like to read the article from which this excerpt was taken, you can find it in Doc Sharing.)
The subject matter of anthropology has gradually changed over the last twenty years. Nowadays ethnographers rarely search for a stable or original form of cultures; they are usually more concerned with revealing how local communities respond to historical change and global influences. The burgeoning literature on transnational flows of ideas, global institutions, and cultural mixture reflects this shift of attention. This increased awareness of cultural penetration has, furthermore, been instrumental in the critique of earlier conceptions of “culture” that cast it as too stable: bounded, and homogeneous to be useful in a world characterized by migrations (voluntary or forced), cheap travel, international marketing, and telecommunications… In this body of literature the word syncretism has begun to reappear alongside such related concepts as hybridization and creolization as a means of portraying the dynamics of global social developments.
My purpose in considering the history of syncretism up to the present is not to enforce a standard usage conformed to the domain of religion; nor is it my goal to promote syncretism to a position of primus inter pares in the company of all other terms for mixture. I see my approach instead as an attempt to illustrate historically that syncretism has an objectionable but nevertheless instructive past…
Current Discussions of Mixture
Cultures, if we still wish to retain this term (and I do), are porous; they are open to intermixture with other, different cultures and they are subject to historical change precisely on account of these influences. This has no doubt always been the case…
Cultural borrowing and interpenetration are today seen as part of the very nature of cultures… To phrase it more accurately, syncretism describes the process by which cultures constitute themselves at any given point in time. Today's hybridization will simply give way to tomorrow's hybridization, the form of which will be dictated by historical-political events and contingencies… As [Edward] Said expresses it: all cultures are involved in one another, none is simple and pure, all.

Discussion Topic #1: The Internal Rate of Return
The internal rate of return is a concept that is often addressed when looking into financial management. Osborne, 2011 defined the internal rate of return as the discount rate that sets the NPV back to zero. The concept is primarily used in capital budgeting to compare the profitability of investments. The higher the internal rate of return that is found then in theory the more profitable an investment the company should be. There are other factors that go into deciding if something is a good investment but the internal rate of return sets a strong indicator. As the paper further points out there are pros and cons that are associated with using the internal rate of return when deciding financial decisions.
The internal rate of returns as many positive aspects that go along with it. These strengths are the building blocks of what makes it an attractive option for financial managers. Anthes, 2003 described that is serves as a rate that can be a benchmark for investment decision-making. It is typically the favored method that is used and as a result is fairly universal across most financial managers. Another strength is that it can be applied to many aspects of business and life. For example it can be used to calculate profitable degree offerings for a school all the way down to a business purchase to serve as a point of reference that there will be a strong return. A final strength falls in the usage of the internal rate of return. The IRR is a rate quantity. This is verses options such as the net present value, which indicated the monetary value of a potential investment. The internal rate of return allows a company that is looking into investing to see the efficiency of the company and the quality and yield of the product they are producing. This is a better indicator of the type of investment that a business is about to make. As a final point though the formula can be a bit tricky to understand the overall results are much simpler to interpret than other financial formulas. This makes internal rate of return more user friendly when explaining the findings to committee members that do not have training in financial management, which is often the case when investment decisions are being made.
Even though there are strengths to using the internal rate of return there are also various weaknesses as referenced by Gitman, 2006. The primary weakness is that internal rate of return should only be used in deciding if a single pr.

TENET #5. Collaborating To Manage Risk
The national effort to strengthen critical infrastructure security and resilience depends on the ability of public and private sector critical infrastructure owners and operators to make risk-informed decisions on the most effective solutions available when allocating limited resources in both steady-state and crisis operations. Therefore, risk management is the cornerstone of the National Plan and is relevant at the national, regional, State, and local levels. National, regional, and local resilience depend upon creating and maintaining sustainable, trusted partnerships between the public and private sector. While individual entities are responsible for managing risk to their organization, partnerships improve understanding of threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences and how to manage them through the sharing of indicators and practices and the coordination of policies, response, and recovery activities. Critical infrastructure partners manage risks based on diverse commitments to community, focus on customer welfare, and corporate governance structures. Risk tolerances will vary from organization to organization, as well as sector to sector, depending on business plans, resources, operating structure, and regulatory environments. They also differ between the private sector and the government based on underlying constraints. Different entities are likely to have different priorities with respect to security investment as well as potentially differing judgments as to what the appropriate point of risk tolerance may be. Private sector organizations generally can increase investments to meet their risk tolerances and provide for their community of stakeholders, but investments in security and resilience have legitimate limits. The government must provide for national security and public safety and operates with a different set of limits in doing so. Finding the appropriate value proposition among the partners requires understanding these differing perspectives and how they may affect efforts to set joint priorities. Within these parameters, critical infrastructure security and resilience depend on applying risk management practices of both industry and government, coupled with available resources and incentives, to guide and sustain efforts. This section is organized based on the critical infrastructure risk management framework, introduced in the 2006 NIPP and updated in this National Plan. The updates help to clarify the components and streamline the steps of the framework, depicted in Figure 3 below. Specifically, the three elements of critical infrastructure (physical, cyber, and human) are explicitly i.

Topic #1: The Cost of Capital
The cost of capital refers to the “cost” a company must incur in order to use funds towards a new project or investment. The funds may come from lenders by borrowing the funds, by financing equity, or by selling bonds or assets. The cost of capital is expressed as an annual interest rate that the company will be charged on the capital funds. Therefore, this is the minimum return a company must be striving for when undertaking a new project, making a purchase, or making an investment. Otherwise, they are simply losing money.
The cost of capital is used as the minimum rate of return that the project must achieve and is also the rate that is used in a discounted cash flow analysis. If the return of future net cash flows on an investment or project are greater than the cost of capital, then the investment or project is worthwhile to the business. For example, if a project generates a return of 20% and the cost of capital was estimated at 15%, then this project has added value to the business.
In addition, the NPV formula can be used to compare multiple projects using different costs of capital. For instance, Project A and Project B compared by using 10%, 15%, and 20% costs of capital. This can allow businesses to see how investing more or less capital would affect the outcome of the NPV. Just as you can compare these different costs of capital, you can also add the element of risk into your calculations by increasing the cost of capital to reflect a riskier project or investment. Very simply put, if investment B is riskier than investment A, then you could compare them with B having a cost of capital at r = 15% and A having a cost of capital at r= 10% - therefore adjusting for one project/investment being riskier than the other.
Interestingly, there has been much discussion and debate over how companies set their cost of capital rates. In the case of large Fortune 500 companies, they spend hundreds of billions of dollars per year. If they miscalculate the cost of capital rate on an investment or project with a difference of even 1%, this could mean a gain or loss of billions of dollars depending on which way the value was incorrectly estimated. For example, if a company plans to invest $52 million dollars into a new project that is estimated to bring in $10.5 million per year over the next seven years, and the company incorrectly estimates the cost of capital by 1%, then you can see by the table below the affect this small percentage pot.

· Part I Key Case SummaryThis case discusses the Union Carbid.docx
· Part I: Key
Case Summary
This case discusses the Union Carbide gas leak that occurred in Bhopal, India in 1984. Over five thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were injured after water inadvertently mixed with methyl isocyanate (MIC) causing the release of a deadly gas. The plant in Bhopal was a pesticide production facility that served the increasing demand of India’s thriving farming industry. However, uncontrolled zoning allowed the plant to be built within close proximity to a densely populated region. While the plant was initially profitable, market changes negatively impacted revenue forcing budget cuts that led to the decay of maintenance and safety practices. There are several theories as to why the incident occurred such as a disgruntled employee’s maliciousness or an accidental contamination. Over several years, Union Carbide paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to the survivors and ultimately ceased to exist, while the community continues to struggle with the aftermath of the disaster.
Main Critical Issues (the list):
· India’s officials adopted careless zoning practices and allowed the construction of the plant near dense population.
· The proper safety procedures were not followed and the equipment was not being properly utilized as designed. UCIL managers placed a higher weight on cost cutting than on safety, resulting in the reduction of maintenance and safety practices.
· Union Carbide Corp. did not require frequent reporting from its subsidiary in India (UCIL), which allowed malpractices and unsafe systems in the Bhopal plant to go unnoticed.
· Union Carbide Corporation and UCIL had an ethical obligation to warn the surrounding community of potential dangers of living close to the pesticide plant
· If the case, the disgruntled employees action to sabotage the plant to take vengeance
· Employees and supervisors in the Bhopal plant did not follow numerous policies and routines that could have prevented the tragedy (e.g. acting upon the alarming increase in the tank pressure, instead of postponing it to after the tea break).
· The residents were not informed of what actions to take in the event of a toxic leak or accident.
· The employees did not use the emergency buses to evacuate surrounding residents.

( Sam’s only criticism of her was that she seemed to live to work). Because Sam does not care about the employee satisfaction, Andrea can not get more spiritual benefit even get good salary. People may have different level of the job satisfaction. In this case, Andrea work long hours, she may feel very stressful, she is happy with cognitive job satisfaction, but not with the affective job satisfaction.

· Performance Critique Assignment· During the first month of.docx
· Performance Critique Assignment
· During the first month of class, you are required to attend a theatrical production and to respond to it in the form of a performance critique (due February 29). A performance critique is a short essay in which you describe and offer your perspective on the specific choices that were made in a production. For this particular assignment, you are asked to develop an argument about how the production choices reflected (or failed to clearly reflect) the play’s central message.
· This piece of writing is uniquely tied to your own experience as a spectator in the theatre. Your critique should engage with the production as performance. This is different from doing a simple literary analysis of the main themes in the play. You should explore how these ideas are communicated through specific scenic choices – acting, directing, design, use of space, etc. – and make an argument about how these choices contributed to the production as a whole. Did they further the audience’s understanding of the message it was trying to convey? Did they make sense within the world they were trying to create? Was the text more alive because of them?
·
· *If there is a director’s note in the program, this will be particularly useful in ascertaining what the director’s intentions were or why he/she chose to stage this play in particular.
·
· A Performance Critique Looks Like:
·
· Format: 4 pages, 12-point font, double-spaced, 1” margins. Consulting other sources is not recommended (and you should definitely NOT consult other reviews of the performance), but if there is a secondary source that you feel provides important supporting information for your argument, you may use it if you include proper MLA citation.
·
· Ticket: Staple your ticket stub to the back page of your paper.
·
· Description: Give the audience a sense of the play. Include information about the name of the production, location, notable cast members, etc. Also include a very brief description of the main action, and/or the driving character relationships, and/or the genre (period piece, musical, etc.). When describing the action of the play, use the present tense.
·
· Argument: You should move far beyond saying simply whether you liked or disliked the play. Be sure to develop a clear thesis about what you think the production company was attempting to accomplish and whether they were successful.
·
· Specific Examples: Remember to provide specific examples to back up your argument. Your critique should help readers "visualize" the play. Provide relevant and evocative details. You will likely want to address several of the following elements: Acting (were the characters believable? Were they supposed to be?), Directing (Did there seem to be a unifying concept behind the production? How was that concept realized? Did the different elements of the production fit together?), Costume/Set/Lighting/Sound Design (H.

1. What is syncretism and how does it differ from the concept of the melting pot?
2. How is Latin America’s (specifically Brazil and Cuba) experience with racial and cultural mixture different from that of the U.S.?
3. Can you give a couple of examples of syncretism in your own culture or in the U.S.?
Article
SYNCRETISM AND ITS SYNONYMS: REFLECTIONS ON CULTURAL MIXTURE by CHARLES STEWART
(If you would like to read the article from which this excerpt was taken, you can find it in Doc Sharing.)
The subject matter of anthropology has gradually changed over the last twenty years. Nowadays ethnographers rarely search for a stable or original form of cultures; they are usually more concerned with revealing how local communities respond to historical change and global influences. The burgeoning literature on transnational flows of ideas, global institutions, and cultural mixture reflects this shift of attention. This increased awareness of cultural penetration has, furthermore, been instrumental in the critique of earlier conceptions of “culture” that cast it as too stable: bounded, and homogeneous to be useful in a world characterized by migrations (voluntary or forced), cheap travel, international marketing, and telecommunications… In this body of literature the word syncretism has begun to reappear alongside such related concepts as hybridization and creolization as a means of portraying the dynamics of global social developments.
My purpose in considering the history of syncretism up to the present is not to enforce a standard usage conformed to the domain of religion; nor is it my goal to promote syncretism to a position of primus inter pares in the company of all other terms for mixture. I see my approach instead as an attempt to illustrate historically that syncretism has an objectionable but nevertheless instructive past…
Current Discussions of Mixture
Cultures, if we still wish to retain this term (and I do), are porous; they are open to intermixture with other, different cultures and they are subject to historical change precisely on account of these influences. This has no doubt always been the case…
Cultural borrowing and interpenetration are today seen as part of the very nature of cultures… To phrase it more accurately, syncretism describes the process by which cultures constitute themselves at any given point in time. Today's hybridization will simply give way to tomorrow's hybridization, the form of which will be dictated by historical-political events and contingencies… As [Edward] Said expresses it: all cultures are involved in one another, none is simple and pure, all.

Discussion Topic #1: The Internal Rate of Return
The internal rate of return is a concept that is often addressed when looking into financial management. Osborne, 2011 defined the internal rate of return as the discount rate that sets the NPV back to zero. The concept is primarily used in capital budgeting to compare the profitability of investments. The higher the internal rate of return that is found then in theory the more profitable an investment the company should be. There are other factors that go into deciding if something is a good investment but the internal rate of return sets a strong indicator. As the paper further points out there are pros and cons that are associated with using the internal rate of return when deciding financial decisions.
The internal rate of returns as many positive aspects that go along with it. These strengths are the building blocks of what makes it an attractive option for financial managers. Anthes, 2003 described that is serves as a rate that can be a benchmark for investment decision-making. It is typically the favored method that is used and as a result is fairly universal across most financial managers. Another strength is that it can be applied to many aspects of business and life. For example it can be used to calculate profitable degree offerings for a school all the way down to a business purchase to serve as a point of reference that there will be a strong return. A final strength falls in the usage of the internal rate of return. The IRR is a rate quantity. This is verses options such as the net present value, which indicated the monetary value of a potential investment. The internal rate of return allows a company that is looking into investing to see the efficiency of the company and the quality and yield of the product they are producing. This is a better indicator of the type of investment that a business is about to make. As a final point though the formula can be a bit tricky to understand the overall results are much simpler to interpret than other financial formulas. This makes internal rate of return more user friendly when explaining the findings to committee members that do not have training in financial management, which is often the case when investment decisions are being made.
Even though there are strengths to using the internal rate of return there are also various weaknesses as referenced by Gitman, 2006. The primary weakness is that internal rate of return should only be used in deciding if a single pr.

TENET #5. Collaborating To Manage Risk
The national effort to strengthen critical infrastructure security and resilience depends on the ability of public and private sector critical infrastructure owners and operators to make risk-informed decisions on the most effective solutions available when allocating limited resources in both steady-state and crisis operations. Therefore, risk management is the cornerstone of the National Plan and is relevant at the national, regional, State, and local levels. National, regional, and local resilience depend upon creating and maintaining sustainable, trusted partnerships between the public and private sector. While individual entities are responsible for managing risk to their organization, partnerships improve understanding of threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences and how to manage them through the sharing of indicators and practices and the coordination of policies, response, and recovery activities. Critical infrastructure partners manage risks based on diverse commitments to community, focus on customer welfare, and corporate governance structures. Risk tolerances will vary from organization to organization, as well as sector to sector, depending on business plans, resources, operating structure, and regulatory environments. They also differ between the private sector and the government based on underlying constraints. Different entities are likely to have different priorities with respect to security investment as well as potentially differing judgments as to what the appropriate point of risk tolerance may be. Private sector organizations generally can increase investments to meet their risk tolerances and provide for their community of stakeholders, but investments in security and resilience have legitimate limits. The government must provide for national security and public safety and operates with a different set of limits in doing so. Finding the appropriate value proposition among the partners requires understanding these differing perspectives and how they may affect efforts to set joint priorities. Within these parameters, critical infrastructure security and resilience depend on applying risk management practices of both industry and government, coupled with available resources and incentives, to guide and sustain efforts. This section is organized based on the critical infrastructure risk management framework, introduced in the 2006 NIPP and updated in this National Plan. The updates help to clarify the components and streamline the steps of the framework, depicted in Figure 3 below. Specifically, the three elements of critical infrastructure (physical, cyber, and human) are explicitly i.

Write a five to seven (5-7) page paper in which you:
1. Take a position on whether or not Anthony’s explanation of why he was using the n-word made his actions less of a problem. Take a position on whether or not there are any circumstances in which it would be appropriate for someone to use the n-word or any variation of it in a classroom or school, and explain those circumstances. Provide a rationale for your position.
2. Suggest at least one (1) alternate way that Ms. Lawson might have decreased tension in the class following the incident instead of chastising Keisha and ordering her to sit down. Analyze how the way you suggested would have addressed Keisha’s comments, and the feelings underneath them, more effectively.
3. Examine at least one (1) other way that Ms. Lawson might have checked in with Reggie following the incident instead of calling attention to him in front of the whole class and causing him embarrassment. Analyze whether the way you chose would have more effectively allowed Reggie to express his true feelings.
4. Determine how you would handle the necessary task, after this incident, of addressing the use of the n-word with the class. Provide a list of steps that you would take, as well as a rationale for your response.
5. Use at least four (4) peer-reviewed academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and many Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Topic #1: The Cost of Capital
The cost of capital refers to the “cost” a company must incur in order to use funds towards a new project or investment. The funds may come from lenders by borrowing the funds, by financing equity, or by selling bonds or assets. The cost of capital is expressed as an annual interest rate that the company will be charged on the capital funds. Therefore, this is the minimum return a company must be striving for when undertaking a new project, making a purchase, or making an investment. Otherwise, they are simply losing money.
The cost of capital is used as the minimum rate of return that the project must achieve and is also the rate that is used in a discounted cash flow analysis. If the return of future net cash flows on an investment or project are greater than the cost of capital, then the investment or project is worthwhile to the business. For example, if a project generates a return of 20% and the cost of capital was estimated at 15%, then this project has added value to the business.
In addition, the NPV formula can be used to compare multiple projects using different costs of capital. For instance, Project A and Project B compared by using 10%, 15%, and 20% costs of capital. This can allow businesses to see how investing more or less capital would affect the outcome of the NPV. Just as you can compare these different costs of capital, you can also add the element of risk into your calculations by increasing the cost of capital to reflect a riskier project or investment. Very simply put, if investment B is riskier than investment A, then you could compare them with B having a cost of capital at r = 15% and A having a cost of capital at r= 10% - therefore adjusting for one project/investment being riskier than the other.
Interestingly, there has been much discussion and debate over how companies set their cost of capital rates. In the case of large Fortune 500 companies, they spend hundreds of billions of dollars per year. If they miscalculate the cost of capital rate on an investment or project with a difference of even 1%, this could mean a gain or loss of billions of dollars depending on which way the value was incorrectly estimated. For example, if a company plans to invest $52 million dollars into a new project that is estimated to bring in $10.5 million per year over the next seven years, and the company incorrectly estimates the cost of capital by 1%, then you can see by the table below the affect this small percentage pot.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
