PAD 630 Milestone O ne Gu.docx
This document provides guidelines and a rubric for Milestone One in the course PAD 630. Students are instructed to select an organizational, legal, or cultural challenge facing public administrators. They should draft an Introduction describing the selected challenge and a Theoretical Overview focusing on original advocates of public administration, the impact of Dwight Waldo and Herbert Simon, and Dwight Waldo's founding dichotomy of the field as it relates to the selected challenge. The submission should be 1-2 pages following APA style guidelines. The rubric evaluates students on introducing their challenge and addressing the required theoretical elements as they pertain to the chosen challenge.

The document discusses the disadvantages of the New Public Management (NPM) approach in public administration. It argues that while NPM aims to improve efficiency by applying private sector practices, it can undermine important public sector values like equality, accountability, and citizenship. Specifically, NPM's emphasis on competition and outsourcing reduces cooperation and information sharing between public organizations. It can also weaken political control and public accountability. Overall, while NPM seeks to make government more business-like, this risks compromising core principles of public service.

Unit2Disc1
Who Makes Public Policy?
In Chapter 1 of the Simon
Public Policy
text, we see that in a governing entity (whether a government, for-profit, or non-profit organization),
values
are fundamental to the understanding public policy. Since Simon mainly focuses on the U.S. federal or state government as the principal actor in the making of public policy, we should note that the governing bodies of for-profit and non-profit organizations are influenced by the same ideas and practices. In other words,
governance
by any organization may serve to implement public policy. But, in these different governing bodies, who are the actors actually making public policy? Can we say it is people in a community, officials in program agencies, or governing officials? Can we envision a role for human services professionals?
Drawing on Internet sources, identify one example of social change initiative promoting progress and one example of degeneration that can occur. Note in your discussion who the principal actors are in developing public policy in response to either progressive social change or degenerative social change.
Learning Components
This activity will help you achieve the following learning components:
Describe the process of identifying principle actors related to policy development within a specific community.
Unit2Disc2
Social Change Experience
What is your experience with social change?
Drawing on your readings on progress and degeneration, and considering D. B. Bury's and Benedict Morel's perspectives, describe your personal experience in defining social needs for change either progressively or in degeneration (social worsening) as a professional in your community.
Include the following in your discussion:
Identify the problem.
Explain how the problem was first identified.
Describe the population or individuals affected.
Identify what or who was responsible for responding to the need for change.
Explain whether the community, business, non-profit, or government agency was expected to implement social change policy.
Use a minimum of two references (and their associated citations in your discussion narrative), applying APA style.
Learning Components
This activity will help you achieve the following learning components:
Differentiate between progressive and regressive social change.
Explore the various roles that business, non-profit, and/or government actors play in the implementation of public policy.
Identify a variety of resources used to identify a community problem.

Evolution Of Public Administration Approaches
The document discusses the evolution of public administration approaches from ancient times to modern times. It describes how Plato first developed the concept of democracy in 400 BC. It then discusses how Taylorism in the early 1900s promoted scientific management principles like specialization and standardization. Weber further explored these principles and advocated for a clear chain of command. The old public administration model emphasized hierarchy, centralized control, separating policy and implementation, and specialized roles. It targeted efficiency and effectiveness through defined roles and merit-based hiring. Recent developments in public administration include e-government, technological changes, and more collaborative efforts between public and private sectors.
Ethics in PracticeWhat Is Your Public Service AnswerNow.docx
Ethics in Practice
What Is Your Public Service Answer?
Now that you have completed this course in ethics, think about those questions we posed at the
beginning of the course. Have you come to a clearer understanding of the questions? Have you
developed an ethical approach that you can incorporate into your own thinking and work? Let’s review
the questions. How would you answer them now?
1. Is the changing relevance and definitions of ethics a symptom of our modern times,
when we know so much that used to be hidden from our view?
• Why is the definition of acceptable behavior different today?
• Is it really different, or do we just know more about what is happening?
• Or is it that in today’s world we hold ourselves to a higher standard of moral actions and expect
the same of our government and public servants?
2. Why are we harder on elected officials today when indiscretions in these human
beings have been around as long as our country?
• Is it because we know more about our elected and appointed officials due to freedom of the press
and overall news coverage?
• Or is it that we hear the critical voices more loudly for the same reasons?
• Is it just that we are more disappointed when we realize someone we idolize has clay feet?
• Do we have a higher moral standard today than existed even 50 years ago?
• Are we more savvy about the issues that can arise from unsavory characters and therefore are
more critical when a problem comes to light?
3. Should public servants advance only their own perspectives and the viewpoints of
their followers?
• Do we actively seek out viewpoints different from our own?
• Do we only consider those perspectives that reinforce our views, not challenge them?
• If we expect an elected official to vote from the perspective of their values that we share, is it right
to expect them to also consider others?
4. How should public servants deal with taxes to make sure that they do not
unwittingly hurt a major part of the population?
• Can taxes ever be truly equitable, or is some inequality always going to exist?
• If taxes are regressive, hurting the poor more than those who have assets, how do we make
ethical decisions about what and whom to tax?
• Should those who have more be responsible for paying more?
5. Is it ethical to cut funding for programs that protect the most vulnerable?
• Who is charged with protection of the most vulnerable?
• If government is responsible, can these programs ever be cut and the decisions to do so still
remain ethical?
• What ethical decision-making process should be followed?
6. How do we manage the ethical dilemmas in our own public service lives?
• What is our own personal moral and ethical compass that we follow in our daily lives?
• How much do our personal values influence or direct our professional and public actions?
• How do we need to revise or add to our personal code of ethics to reflect our greater appreciation
of ethics in our public service liv ...

Public Policy
This document outlines a lesson on public policy presented by Mr. Antonio T. Delgado. It begins with an overview of public policy, defining it as the positions and actions taken by governments to address societal needs. It then discusses the policy process, including common models like the rational, incremental, and garbage can models. The policy cycle and its typical five stages of initiation, formulation, implementation, evaluation, and termination/revision are also examined. Other topics covered include policy diffusion, convergence in authoritarian states, and the goals of political survival and personal enrichment.

Book review on The Public Sector: Concepts, Models and Approaches By Jan-Erik...Ahasan Uddin Bhuiyan
This document provides a summary of chapters from the book "The Public Sector: Concepts, Models and Approaches" by Jan-Erik Lane.
The introduction discusses how Lane traces the evolution of public administration and analyzes 14 key issues across 14 chapters. Chapter 1 discusses definitions of the public sector and challenges in distinguishing public vs private roles. Chapter 2 analyzes Weber's model of bureaucracy and critiques from post-Weberian theorists. Chapter 3 examines models of public policy-making including demographic, incremental, rational decision-making, and garbage can models. Chapter 4 discusses attempts to integrate top-down and bottom-up approaches to implementation models.Transforming Governance
This document provides background information on three examples of democratic innovations that feature technology:
1. The town of Jun, Spain uses Twitter as the main platform for citizens to interact with local government and provide feedback on issues large and small. This has improved transparency and responsiveness of government.
2. In Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, the "Government Asks" initiative crowdsources policy ideas from citizens through websites, mobile apps, and in-person meetings. Citizens then vote on the ideas. Over 360,000 votes have been cast on 3,600 policy proposals.
3. A third example is not described due to length limitations, but the document discusses factors like government support, digital access, and use of
Final Oral Exam - Park University Hauptmann School of Public Affairs
The final oral exam required by the Park University Hauptmann School of Public Affairs Master's program.
Innovation and entrepreneurship in government management
There is a widespread view that entrepreneurship is limited only to the private sector. It is a great mistake to disregard the possibility of entrepreneurship also happen in the public sector. In Brazil and in the world, there are several examples of entrepreneurship in the public sector, such as the construction of Brasilia by President Juscelino Kubitschek in the 1950s, the construction of St. Petersburg in Russia by Tsar Peter I, the Great, in 1703 and urban reform of Paris by Baron Haussmann between 1852 and 1870.
Citizen engagement final project
This document discusses challenges to deepening democracy through increased citizen participation and proposes an initiative to address these challenges. It identifies three main challenges: 1) lack of leadership champions for participatory initiatives, 2) lack of agreement on the role of non-electoral citizen participation, and 3) initiatives that are trivial in scope. The proposed initiative aims to increase citizen engagement, government transparency and legitimacy, and policy outcomes. It will use a non-profit partner and information and communication technologies to facilitate engagement and will evaluate success using various indicators to measure inputs, outputs, processes, outcomes and impacts.
Lecture6reportingonatriplebottomlinebb
The document discusses reporting on social and environmental impacts using a triple bottom line framework. It explains that a triple bottom line looks at an organization's economic, social and environmental performance. Key points covered include the importance of accountability, prioritizing stakeholders, tools for social accounting, and examples of metrics used to measure the three parts of a triple bottom line.

This study examines the role of nonprofit organizations in the public policy process following the 2007-2009 economic recession. The summary analyzes a document submitted for a Master's degree that includes:
1) An abstract outlining the study of how nonprofits advocate in a post-recession economy and how their role has evolved over time.
2) An introduction describing the purpose of better understanding nonprofit advocacy, the influence of the recession, and research questions about how size, legal understanding, and collaboration impact efforts.

ESID - Public Sector Reform - Yanguas & Bukenya at DSA 2014
The document discusses the failure of past public sector reform (PSR) efforts and proposes a new "old-ish" strategy. It summarizes that past PSR approaches focused on structural adjustment, governance incentives, and access to services failed to achieve lasting change due to "old" challenges like administrative patrimonialism and political capture. New approaches emphasize leadership, social accountability, and policy adaptation, but also face challenges. The document concludes that an effective strategy requires elements of both "new" and "old" approaches combined over the long term, with sustained political support for reform coalitions.
Heierbacher 2009 Kettering Report
For this research project for the Kettering Foundation, the National Coalition for Dialogue & Deliberation (NCDD) explored how attendees at the October 2008 NCDD conference in Austin, Texas see citizens’ role in democratic governance and how they see themselves or their work impacting the role citizens play in democratic governance. Furthermore, we examined attendees’ views on how best to address each of the five “challenge areas” we focused on at the conference, specifically asking them for ideas for making progress on the “Systems Challenge” (embedding public engagement in government and other systems) and the “Action & Change Challenge” (strengthening the link between public engagement, citizen action, and policy change).

1) Citizens play a critically important role as the foundation of democratic governance.
2) Citizens' role varies widely depending on factors like location and issue.
3) Currently, citizens play a very limited role in most systems of governance.
4) The ideal role for citizens in governance should be much greater, as problem solvers and partners in decision making.
5) There was no consensus on what the ideal role for citizens should be.
Question 1=Public Relations At Work. Please respond to the follow.docx
Question 1=
Public Relations At Work. Please respond to the following:
Communications professor John Marston proposed a four-step model of the process through which public relations can influence public opinion. These steps include research, action, communication, and evaluation. Explain in detail how Marston’s four-step approach can be used to shape public opinion on the story you researched for the first e-Activity.
Businesses choose celebrities to endorse their products for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, some of these celebrities act in ways that generate a lot of negative publicity for themselves and, by extension, for the sponsors who pay them. In the case of the celebrity you researched in the second e-Activity, explain in detail what actions you would take in this situation and why you would take them
Week 1 eActivity 1
Research on the Internet a recent public relations campaign that was undertaken to address a corporate scandal or misbehavior by a government official or celebrity, and study what part ethics played in the campaign, whether positively or negatively. Be prepared to discuss.
Week 1 eActivity 2
Research on the Internet a celebrity who has generated negative publicity in recent years for his/her sponsoring company. Be prepared to discuss.
Week 1 eActivity 3
Research on the Internet a company or celebrity which/who was either successful or unsuccessful in following Ivy Ledbetter Lee’s formula for public relations: focus on providing honest and accurate information to the public. Be prepared to discuss.
QUESTION 2
Professors Marstons four step model is spot as it pertains to public relations. For a company to understand the publics they are trying to sway they must know them and to know them they research them to understand the wants and desires of each public both internal and external. Then the public relations department can implement the plan or action to try and bring the best opinion possible to the company from those publics. this could be a very big job because sometimes people do stupid things that could shed a bad light on the company and its the duty of the public relations to change that mind set. Then comes the communication part of the model this is what allows the publics to make an informed decision of the information given. This also allows the businesses to receive feed back and allowed to adjust policies or procedures to bring society around to its way of thinking. Lastly evaluation this step allows both the publics to look past all the talk to see that what they are being told is in fact the truth or not and it allows the company or business to see whether their public relations plan is effective or not.
Lets look at Lance Armstrong, This is a man that won 7 Tour de'France races and was sponsored by everyone in the sports world and honestly who wouldn't want to be connected with him since he was so honest and wholesome? Oh but then it comes out that Mr. Armstrong took drugs to help him get and st.

Public Policy and Social Change
One of the goals of public policy is to improve the lives of citizens. In today's society many special interest groups, government agencies, community stakeholders, and citizens battle over various public policy issues that might effect social change. Effecting social change, however, does not happen easily. Those who create public policies must remain dedicated to their social issue and be prepared to engage in social disagreements and political action, as well as be able to work within government regulations. Creating public policy also requires individuals to take on various roles and remain actively involved in a social issue. Some roles include administrators, public relations, writers of public policies, and political activists. Each of these roles is vital to the creation of new public policies or changing existing ones. Consider what role related to public policy you envision adopting and how you might effect positive social change.
For this Discussion, consider what role you would like to play related to the creation or changing of public policies and ways in which you might effect positive social change in the future.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the article, "Social Networks and American Politics: Introduction to the Special Issue." Pay particular attention to the dissemination of information and the impact of social networks on the American political system in creating social change.
Review the article, "Interactions Between Social Movements and US Political Parties." Consider the needs of special interest groups, the challenges to creating public policies, and ways in which public policies can effect positive social change.
Think about your future role in public policy and the ways in which you might effect positive social change.
With these thoughts in mind:

According to (Fatehi, Gordon & Florida, N.D.) theoretical orient.docx
According to (Fatehi, Gordon & Florida, N.D.) theoretical orientation represent styles of mind for understanding reality. This theoretical orientation can be organized as a continuum from theoretical constructs that are independent and concrete as with the Behavioral/ CBT theories, to theoretical constructs that are interdependent and abstract as with the Psychodynamic theories (Fatehi, Gordon & Florida, N.D.). Family systems and Humanistic/Existential are theoretical midpoints (Fatehi, Gordon & Florida, N.D.). Trait theory tends to focus on the premise that we are born with traits or characteristics that make us unique and explain our behaviors (Cervone& Pervin, 2019). For example, introversion, extroversion, shyness, agreeableness, kindness, etc. all these innate characteristics that we are born help to explain why we behave in a certain manner according to the situations we face, (Cervone& Pervin, 2019). Psychoanalytic perspective on the other hand focuses on childhood experiences and the unconscious mind which plays a role in our personality development, (Cervone& Pervin, 2019).
According to Freud, (Cervone& Pervin, 2019) our unconscious mind includes all our hidden desires and conflicts which form the root cause of our mental health issues or maladaptive behaviors. The main difference between these two perspectives is that trait theory helps to explain why we behave in a certain manner, whereas psychoanalytic theory only describes the personality and predicting behavior and not really explaining why we behave the way we do. There is no such evident similarity between the two perspectives, but kind of rely on underlying mechanisms to explain personality. Also, there is some degree of subjectivity present in both the perspectives. Trait theories involve subjectivity regarding interpretations of which can be considered as important traits that explain our behaviors, and psychoanalytic theory is subjective and vague in the concepts been used like the unconscious mind. My opinions accord with the visible contrasts between the two, one focused on internal features describing our behaviors in clearer words, whilst other concentrating on unconscious mind in anticipating behavior which is ambiguous and harder to grasp.

Evolution Of Public Administration Approaches
The document discusses the evolution of public administration approaches from ancient times to modern times. It describes how Plato first developed the concept of democracy in 400 BC. It then discusses how Taylorism in the early 1900s promoted scientific management principles like specialization and standardization. Weber further explored these principles and advocated for a clear chain of command. The old public administration model emphasized hierarchy, centralized control, separating policy and implementation, and specialized roles. It targeted efficiency and effectiveness through defined roles and merit-based hiring. Recent developments in public administration include e-government, technological changes, and more collaborative efforts between public and private sectors.

Ethics in Practice
What Is Your Public Service Answer?
Now that you have completed this course in ethics, think about those questions we posed at the
beginning of the course. Have you come to a clearer understanding of the questions? Have you
developed an ethical approach that you can incorporate into your own thinking and work? Let’s review
the questions. How would you answer them now?
1. Is the changing relevance and definitions of ethics a symptom of our modern times,
when we know so much that used to be hidden from our view?
• Why is the definition of acceptable behavior different today?
• Is it really different, or do we just know more about what is happening?
• Or is it that in today’s world we hold ourselves to a higher standard of moral actions and expect
the same of our government and public servants?
2. Why are we harder on elected officials today when indiscretions in these human
beings have been around as long as our country?
• Is it because we know more about our elected and appointed officials due to freedom of the press
and overall news coverage?
• Or is it that we hear the critical voices more loudly for the same reasons?
• Is it just that we are more disappointed when we realize someone we idolize has clay feet?
• Do we have a higher moral standard today than existed even 50 years ago?
• Are we more savvy about the issues that can arise from unsavory characters and therefore are
more critical when a problem comes to light?
3. Should public servants advance only their own perspectives and the viewpoints of
their followers?
• Do we actively seek out viewpoints different from our own?
• Do we only consider those perspectives that reinforce our views, not challenge them?
• If we expect an elected official to vote from the perspective of their values that we share, is it right
to expect them to also consider others?
4. How should public servants deal with taxes to make sure that they do not
unwittingly hurt a major part of the population?
• Can taxes ever be truly equitable, or is some inequality always going to exist?
• If taxes are regressive, hurting the poor more than those who have assets, how do we make
ethical decisions about what and whom to tax?
• Should those who have more be responsible for paying more?
5. Is it ethical to cut funding for programs that protect the most vulnerable?
• Who is charged with protection of the most vulnerable?
• If government is responsible, can these programs ever be cut and the decisions to do so still
remain ethical?
• What ethical decision-making process should be followed?
6. How do we manage the ethical dilemmas in our own public service lives?
• What is our own personal moral and ethical compass that we follow in our daily lives?
• How much do our personal values influence or direct our professional and public actions?
• How do we need to revise or add to our personal code of ethics to reflect our greater appreciation

There is a widespread view that entrepreneurship is limited only to the private sector. It is a great mistake to disregard the possibility of entrepreneurship also happen in the public sector. In Brazil and in the world, there are several examples of entrepreneurship in the public sector, such as the construction of Brasilia by President Juscelino Kubitschek in the 1950s, the construction of St. Petersburg in Russia by Tsar Peter I, the Great, in 1703 and urban reform of Paris by Baron Haussmann between 1852 and 1870.

The steps involved in critical appraisal include “identifying the study's elements or processes, determining the strengths and weaknesses, and evaluating the credibility and trustworthiness of the study” (Gray et al., 2017). The journal article chosen is
“change in staff perspectives on indwelling urinary catheter use after implementation of an intervention bundle in seven Swiss acute care hospitals: a result of a before/after survey study”
by Niederhauser, Zullig, Marschall, Schweiger, John, Kuster, and Schwappach. (2019).
Identifying the study's elements or processes
A significant issue addressed by the study is the nursing “staffs’ perspective towards indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) and evaluation of changes in their perspectives towards indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) use after implementation of a 1-year quality improvement project” (Niederhauser et al, 2019). the process of the research was conducted in “seven acute care hospitals in Switzerland” (Niederhauser et al, 2019). With a “sample size of 1579 staff members participated in the baseline survey and 1527 participated in the follow-up survey. The survey captures all nursing and medical staff members working at the participating hospitals at the time of survey distribution, using a multimodal intervention bundle, consisting of an evidence-based indication list, daily re-evaluation of ongoing catheter needs, and staff training were implemented over the course of 9 months” (Niederhauser et al, 2019).
Determining the strengths and weaknesses
A great strength of the study is a large sample size of over 1000 and the use of well-constructed and easy-to-read heading for better understanding. Also, the use of figures, graphs, and tables make the article less cumbersome to read. Another strength is the implementation of the ethical principles of research by enabling informed consent and voluntary participation as well as confidentiality and anonymity of information.
On the other hand, the study has several weaknesses such as the use of “the theory of planned behavior to model intentions to reduce catheter use, but it is not possible to know if changes observed in staff perception led to a true change in practice” (Niederhauser et al, 2019). Another weakness of the study is the repeated survey design which allows assessment of changes in staff perspectives after implementation of a quality improvement intervention but the sustainability of the effects over time could not be evaluated.
Evaluating the credibility and trustworthiness of the study
Although the study used a larger sample size of over 1000, the “use of a single-group design and no control group weakens its credibility and trustworthiness because there are no causal inferences abou.
According to article Insecure Policing Under Racial Capitalism by.docx
According to article "Insecure: Policing Under Racial Capitalism" by Robin D.G. Kelley and the article "Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police" by Mariame Kaba, the police are no longer an attribute of safety and security. The facts that are given in the articles are similar within the meaning of the content. The police do not serve for the benefit of the whole community. Racial and class division according to social status became the basis of lawlessness and injustice on the part of the police. Kaaba in his article cites several stories confirming the racial hatred that led to the murder of African Americans. After that, people massively took to the streets of many cities in several countries, demanding an end to racial discrimination and the murder of African Americans. Kelley's article describes numerous manifestos where demands for police abolition have been raised, but all have been rejected. In the protests, people suggested that they themselves would take care of each other, which the police could not do. I understand that the police system is far from ideal and the permissiveness of police representatives should be limited. Ruth Wilson Gilmore says that "capitalism is never racial." I think that this phrase she wants to say that the stronger people take away from the weak people and use them for their own well-being. And since the roots of history go back to slavery, then African Americans are the weak link. In this regard, a huge number of prisons and police power appeared. The common and small class do not feel protected, on the contrary; they expect a threat from people who must protect them. The police take an oath to respect and protect human and civil rights and freedoms, regardless of skin color and social status. If this does not happen, then you need to change the system.

Abstract In this experiment, examining the equivalence poi.docx
Abstract:
In this experiment, examining the equivalence point in a titration with NaOH identified an
unknown diprotic acid. The molar mass of the unknown was found to be 100.78 g/mol with pKa
values of 2.6 and 6.6. The closest diprotic acid to this molar mass is malonic acid with a percent
error of 3.48%.
Introduction:
The purpose of the experiment was to determine the identity of an unknown diprotic acid. The
equivalence and half-equivalence points on the titration curve give important information, which
can then be used to calculate the molecular weight of the acid. The equivalence point is the
moment when there is an equal amount of acid and NaOH. Knowing the concentration and
volume of added NaOH at that moment, the amount of moles of NaOH can be determined. The
amount of moles of NaOH is then equivalent to the amount of acid present. Dividing the original
mass of the acid by the moles present gave the molar mass of the acid.
In this particular titration, there were two equivalence points as the acid is diprotic.
Consequently, the titration curve had two inflection points. The acid dissociated in a two-step
process with the net reaction being:
H2X + 2 NaOH Na2X + 2 H2O
This was important to take into consideration when calculating the molar mass of the diprotic
acid. If the first equivalence point was to be used, the ratio of acid to NaOH was 1:1. If the
second equivalence point was used in the calculations, the ratio became 1:2 as now a second
set of NaOH molecules reacted with the acid to dissociate the second hydrogen ion. The
titration curve also showed the pKa values of the acid. This happened at the half-equivalence
point where half of the acid was dissociated to its conjugate base (again, because of the diprotic
properties of the acid, this happens twice on the curve). The Henderson Hasselbalch equation
pH = pKa+log(A-/HA)
shows that at the half-equivalence point, the pKa value equaled the pH and was visually
represented by the flattest part of the graphs.
Discussion:
The titration graph showed that the data was consistent with the methodology and proved to be
an precise execution of the procedure and followed the expected shape. One possible source of
error was the actual mass of the acid solid. While transferring the dust from the weigh boat to
the solution, some remained in the weigh boat this could have altered the molar mass
calculations and shifted the final the final mass lighter than actual.
The Vernier pH method was definitely a much more concrete method of interpreting the results.
It was possible to see which addition of NaOH gave the greatest increase in pH ( greatest 1st
derivative of the titration graph). The relying solely on the indicator color would make it very
difficult to judge at which precise point the color shifted most, as the shift was a lot more gradual
compared to the precise numbers. This may have been a more reliable method if there was a
de.

Part A: Capital Budgeting Decisions
Chee Company has gathered the following data on a proposed investment project:
Investment required in equipment ............. $240,000
Annual cash inflows .................................. $50,000
Salvage value ............................................ $0
Life of the investment ............................... 8 years
Required rate of return .............................. 10%
Assets will be depreciated using straight
line depreciation method
Required:
Using the net present value and the internal rate of return methods, is this a good investment?
Part B: Master Budget
You have just been hired as a new management trainee by Earrings Unlimited, a distributor of
earrings to various retail outlets located in shopping malls across the country. In the past, the
company has done very little in the way of budgeting and at certain times of the year has
experienced a shortage of cash. Since you are well trained in budgeting, you have decided to
prepare a master budget for the upcoming second quarter. To this end, you have worked with
accounting and other areas to gather the information assembled below.
The company sells many styles of earrings, but all are sold for the same price—$10 per pair. Actual
sales of earrings for the last three months and budgeted sales for the next six months follow (in pairs
of earrings):
January (actual) 20,000 June (budget) 50,000
February (actual) 26,000 July (budget) 30,000
March (actual) 40,000 August (budget) 28,000
April (budget) 65,000 September (budget) 25,000
May (budget) 100,000
The concentration of sales before and during May is due to Mother’s Day. Sufficient inventory should
be on hand at the end of each month to supply 40% of the earrings sold in the following month.
Suppliers are paid $4 for a pair of earrings. One-half of a month’s purchases is paid for in the month
of purchase; the other half is paid for in the following month. All sales are on credit. Only 20% of a
month’s sales are collected in the month of sale. An additional 70% is collected in the following
month, and the remaining 10% is collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts have been
negligible.

Academic Integrity A Letter to My Students[1] Bill T.docx
Academic Integrity:
A Letter to My Students[1]
Bill Taylor
Professor of Political Science
Oakton Community College
Des Plaines, IL 60016
[email protected]
Here at the beginning of the semester I want to say something to you about academic integrity.[2]
I’m deeply convinced that integrity is an essential part of any true educational experience, integrity on
my part as a faculty member and integrity on your part as a student.
To take an easy example, would you want to be operated on by a doctor who cheated his way through
medical school? Or would you feel comfortable on a bridge designed by an engineer who cheated her
way through engineering school. Would you trust your tax return to an accountant who copied his
exam answers from his neighbor?
Those are easy examples, but what difference does it make if you as a student or I as a faculty member
violate the principles of academic integrity in a political science course, especially if it’s not in your
major?
For me, the answer is that integrity is important in this course precisely because integrity is important in
all areas of life. If we don’t have integrity in the small things, if we find it possible to justify plagiarism or
cheating or shoddy work in things that don’t seem important, how will we resist doing the same in areas
that really do matter, in areas where money might be at stake, or the possibility of advancement, or our
esteem in the eyes of others?
Personal integrity is not a quality we’re born to naturally. It’s a quality of character we need to nurture,
and this requires practice in both meanings of that word (as in practice the piano and practice a
profession). We can only be a person of integrity if we practice it every day.
What does that involve for each of us in this course? Let’s find out by going through each stage in the
course. As you’ll see, academic integrity basically requires the same things of you as a student as it
requires of me as a teacher.
I. Preparation for Class
What Academic Integrity Requires of Me in This Area
With regard to coming prepared for class, the principles of academic integrity require that I come having
done the things necessary to make the class a worthwhile educational experience for you. This requires
that I:
reread the text (even when I’ve written it myself),
clarify information I might not be clear about,
prepare the class with an eye toward what is current today (that is, not simply rely on past
notes), and
plan the session so that it will make it worth your while to be there.
What Academic Integrity Requires of You in This Area
With regard to coming prepared for class, the principles of academic integrity suggest that you have a
responsibility to yourself, to me, and to the other students to do the things necessary to put yourself in
a position to make fruitful contributions to class discussion. This will require you to:
read the text before.

ACA was passed in 2010, under the presidency of Barack Obama. Pr.docx
ACA was passed in 2010, under the presidency of Barack Obama. Prior to this new act, there were plenty of votes that did not agree with the notion of accessible insurance. Before 2010, The private sector had been given coverage in such a way that Milstead and Short (2019) called it sickness insurance; meaning companies will risk incurring medical expenses as long as it was balanced by healthy people. They were doing so by excluding people that had pre-existing conditions, becoming a very solvent business (Milstead & Short, 2019). After ACA was passed that was no longer the case. When President Trump came into term he did so by bringing his own healthcare agenda, which attempted to repeal ACA, but ultimately failed to come up with a replacement.
In 2016, the Republican's party platform was to repeal ACA, while continuing Medicare and Medicaid, but on the other hand, democrats put down that Obamacare is a step towards the goals of universal health care, and that this was just the beginning (Physicians for a National Health Program, n.d.). As for the cost analysis of repealing the Affordable Care Act, this would increase the number of uninsured people by 23 million, and it will cost about 350 billion through 2027, as well as creating costly coverage provisions to replace it (Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, 2017).

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the White House and a coalition of leading research groups have prepared the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19). CORD-19 is a resource of over 44,000 scholarly articles, including over 29,000 with full text, about COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, and related corona viruses. This freely available dataset is provided to the global research community to apply recent advances in natural language processing and other AI techniques to generate new insights in support of the ongoing fight against this infectious disease. There is a growing urgency for these approaches because of the rapid acceleration in new coronavirus literature, making it difficult for the medical research community to keep up.
Call to Action
We are issuing a call to action to the world's artificial intelligence experts to develop text and data mining tools that can help the medical community develop answers to high priority scientific questions. The CORD-19 dataset represents the most extensive machine-readable coronavirus literature collection available for data mining to date. This allows the worldwide AI research community the opportunity to apply text and data mining approaches to find answers to questions within, and connect insights across, this content in support of the ongoing COVID-19 response efforts worldwide. There is a growing urgency for these approaches because of the rapid increase in coronavirus literature, making it difficult for the medical community to keep up.
A list of our initial key questions can be found under the
Tasks
section of this dataset. These key scientific questions are drawn from the NASEM’s SCIED (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Standing Committee on Emerging Infectious Diseases and 21st Century Health Threats)
research topics
and the World Health Organization’s
R&D Blueprint
for COVID-19.
Many of these questions are suitable for text mining, and we encourage researchers to develop text mining tools to provide insights on these questions.
In this project, you will follow your own interests to create a portfolio worthy single-frame viz or multi-frame data story that will be shared in your presentation. You will use all the skills taught in this course to complete this project step-by-step, with guidance from your instructors along the way. You will first create a project proposal to identify your goals for the project, including the question you wish to answer or explore with data. You will then find data that will provide the information you are seeking. You will then import that data into Tableau and prepare it for analysis. Next, you will create a dashboard that will allow you to explore the data in-depth and identify meaningful insights. You will then give structure .
AbstractVoice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is an advanced t.docx
Abstract
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is an advanced telecommunication technology which transfers the voice/video over
high speed network that provides advantages of flexibility, reliability and cost efficient advanced telecommunication
features. Still the issues related to security are averting many organizations to accept VoIP cloud environment due to
security threats, holes or vulnerabilities. So, the novel secured framework is absolutely necessary to prevent all kind of
VoIP security issues. This paper points out the existing VoIP cloud architecture and various security attacks and issues
in the existing framework. It also presents the defense mechanisms to prevent the attacks and proposes a new security
framework called Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) using video watermarking and extraction technique and Liveness
Voice Detection (LVD) technique with biometric features such as face and voice. IPSs updated with new LVD features
protect the VoIP services not only from attacks but also from misuses.

1. Introduction
The rapid progress of VoIP over traditional services is
led to a situation that is common to many innovations
and new technologies such as VoIP cloud and peer to
peer services like Skype, Google Hangout etc. VoIP is the
technology that supports sending voice (and video) over
an Internet protocol-based network1,2. This is completely
different than the public circuit-switched telephone net-
work. Circuit switching network allocates resources to
each individual call and path is permanent throughout
the call from start to end. Traditional telephony services
are provided by the protocols/components such as SS7, T
carriers, Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), the Public
Switch Telephone Network (PSTN), dial up, local loops
and anything under International Telecommunication
Union. IP networks are based on packet switching and
each packet follows different path, has its own header and
is forwarded separately by routers. VoIP network can be
constructed in various ways by using both proprietary
protocols and protocols based on open standards.
1.1 VoIP Layer Architecture
VoIP communication system typically consist of a front
end platform (soft-phone, PBX, gateway, call manager),
back end platform (server, CPU, storage, memory, net-
work) and intermediate platforms such as VoIP protocols,
database, authentication server, web server, operating sys-
tems etc. It is mainly divided into five layers as shown in
Figure1.
1.2 VoIP Cloud Architecture
VoIP cloud is the framework for delivering telephony
services in which resourc.
