Description Using Winsock and Visual Studio .NET 2013, your goal is to create a Gnutella crawler that discovers all currently present peers in the system. Your program will first contact a seed webserver to acquire a set of initial ultrapeers, traverse the entire Gnutella network in the BFS order, and then record the identities of found ultrapeers and their children (i.e., leaf nodes) in some text file. Using this information, you will then analyze the collected data to answer several questions about geographic and domain diversity of peers as well as popularity of individual user agents (i.e., client software). ...

Presented here is the description of a serial homicide investigation in the 1960s that involved
the sexually motivated murders of seven mostly college-aged women in Michigan. The
discussion provided here draws primarily on Edward Keyes’s, The Michigan Murders.1 The
case is longer and more detailed than the other From the Case File chapter introductions.
It can serve as a capstone discussion of many of the issues covered in Criminal Investigation,
including the basic problems of criminal investigation, the value of eyewitness identifica-
tions, the value of other evidence, the potential value of DNA evidence, how proof can be
established, and the impact of technology on investigations. Questions for discussion and
review are presented at the conclusion of the case.
Appendix
Capstone Case
Capstone CASE
The Coed Murders
The nightmare began on the evening of July 10, 1967,
when nineteen-year-old Mary Fleszar did not return
to her apartment, which was located just a few
blocks from the Eastern Michigan University (EMU)
campus in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Mary was a student at
the university. As is the case in most missing person
investigations, the first task for investigators was to
determine when and where she was last seen. In
reconstructing the last known whereabouts of Mary,
an EMU police officer recalled seeing a girl matching
her description walking near campus at about
8:45 p.m. the night before she was reported missing.
She was alone. Another witness reported he had seen
the girl at about 9:00 p.m. that same night in the same
area, walking on the sidewalk. The witness reported
that a car had driven up next to her and stopped.
According to report the witness gave, the only person
in the vehicle was a young man, and the vehicle was
bluish-gray in color, possibly a Chevy. The witness said
it appeared that the young man inside the car said
something to Mary, she shook her head, and the car
drove off. Shortly thereafter, the same car passed the
witness’s house again and pulled into a driveway in
front of Mary, blocking her path. Mary walked around
the back of the car and continued down the sidewalk.
The car pulled out of the driveway and, tires squealing,
drove down the street. At this point the witness lost
sight of Mary and the vehicle. Mary was never again
seen alive.
On August 7, 1967, a heavily decomposed nude body
was found on farmland two miles north of Ypsilanti.
The body was identified as Mary Fleszar through
dental records. It was clear to investigators that the
cause of death was certainly not natural, accidental,
or suicide, given the area.
Capitalism emphasizes fostering individualism while socialism emphas.docx
Capitalism focuses on individualism which can lead to unequal distribution of resources, while socialism emphasizes collectivism but may lack incentives for innovation. A major criticism of socialism is that it does not provide sufficient motivation for technological progress compared to capitalist systems. Introducing collectivist values into a capitalist system could benefit society by encouraging greater consideration of others.
Capitão et al. Translational Psychiatry ( 2019) 930 httpsdoi.docx
A single dose of the antidepressant fluoxetine reduced neural activity in the amygdala-hippocampal region in response to angry facial expressions, compared to placebo, in adolescents with major depressive disorder. Fluoxetine also increased activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex relative to placebo. There were no observed changes in symptoms after a single dose. These results demonstrate that fluoxetine has immediate effects on core components of the cortico-limbic circuitry involved in emotional processing, prior to any clinical changes in mood. The reduction in amygdala response to anger is consistent with previous evidence that fluoxetine reduces anger processing and could represent a mechanism through which it alleviates irritability symptoms in adolescent depression.

This book is based on fifteen years of research (1998–2013) devoted essentially to understanding the
historical dynamics of wealth and income. Much of this research was done in collaboration with
other scholars.
My earlier work on high-income earners in France, Les hauts revenus en France au 20e siècle
(2001), had the extremely good fortune to win the enthusiastic support of Anthony Atkinson and
Emmanuel Saez. Without them, my modest Francocentric project would surely never have achieved
the international scope it has today. Tony, who was a model for me during my graduate school days,
was the first reader of my historical work on inequality in France and immediately took up the British
case as well as a number of other countries. Together, we edited two thick volumes that came out in
2007 and 2010, covering twenty countries in all and constituting the most extensive database
available in regard to the historical evolution of income inequality. Emmanuel and I dealt with the US
case. We discovered the vertiginous growth of income of the top 1.

Introduction Comment by Ufuk Misirlioglu: No need along introduction, and add a very limited contribution.
Capital budgeting is one of the key processes businesses use to determine the potential of projects succeeding or failing to recuperate the initial financial investments. The process is very critical when large companies want to expand or introduce huge assets, which probably require colossal amounts of first cash investment as well as maintenance. These investments and projects can range from constructing massive new production plants to other long-term schemes. In such instances, business capital investment managers often spend a significant amount of time assessing the new project’s prospective lifetime success, including the cash outflows and inflows. This investment appraisal process is important in evaluating whether the potential outcomes or revenues generated can meet the target benchmark.
After achieving a successful capital budgeting plan, it is critical that a firm evaluates its prospective financial sources to fund the proposed projects. For example, based on its financial position, the projected amount of investment capital, and the repayment duration, an organization can either opt for a bank loan or sells its equity to other potential investors. That being said, Foster Construction Ltd needs to assess a wide range of possible financiers to support the purchase of the new ALII. This paper, therefore, mainly discusses some of these capital financing proposals the company can explore, with the last section detailing the existing gap between theory and practice of capital budgeting.
Discussion
A. Sources of Finance for the Proposed CI Project
Foster is a reputable company and boasts of a sizeable annual revenue-meaning that the firm cannot struggle to pay its debts. We truly have quite a range of options that can assist us to fund the new ALII capital project as a private firm. The following are some of the two most viable financial alternatives for the organization:
Firstly, I propose we obtain a short-term loan, probably payable within four years, from a renowned financial institution or commercial bank. I strongly believe a short-term loan can assist the Foster Construction Ltd to buy and maintain the modern ALII crane and restore the old one for the next four years. However, there are critical factors that must be considered before identifying the right financier and the amount we can apply. Current and projected inflation rates in the country will definitely play a central role. We must also consider the interest rates offered by each particular organization to determine the lowest repayable amount within the four years. Comment by Ufuk Misirlioglu: Mismatch.

Capital Investment Case Waterways Corporation is a private.docx
Capital Investment Case
Waterways Corporation is a private company providing irrigation and drainage products
and services for residential, commercial, and public sector projects, including farms,
parks, and sports fields. It has a plant located in a small city north of Toronto that
manufactures the products it markets to retail outlets across Canada. It also maintains a
division that provides installation and warranty servicing in the Greater Toronto Area.
The mission of Waterways is to manufacture quality parts that can be used for effective
water management, be it drainage or irrigation. The company hopes to satisfy its
customers with its products, provide rapid and responsible service, and serve the
community and the employees who represent it in each community.
Waterways puts much emphasis on cash flow when it plans for capital investments. The
company chose its discount rate of 8% based on the rate of return it must pay its
owners and creditors. Using that rate, Waterways then uses different methods to
determine the best decisions for making capital outlays.
In 2020 Waterways is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it
now has at its installation and training division. The new backhoes are faster, cost less
to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the
operators, and have associated one-year maintenance agreements. The old backhoes
are working well, but they do require considerable maintenance. The operators are very
familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new skills to use the new
equipment.
The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new
backhoes.
Old Backhoes New Backhoes
Purchase cost when new $90,000 $200,000
Salvage value now $42,000 None
Investment in major overhaul needed in next year $55,000 None
Salvage value in 8 years None $ 50,000
Remaining life 8 years 8 years
Net cash flow generated each year $25,250 $ 41,000
Instructions
a. Using the following methods, evaluate whether to purchase the new equipment or
overhaul the old equipment. (Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the cost
of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage value of the old machine to
determine the initial cost of the investment.) Ignore income taxes in your analysis.
1. Use the net present value method for buying new or keeping the old.
2. Use the payback method for each choice. (Hint: For the old machine, evaluate the
payback of an overhaul.)
3. Compare the profitability index for each choice.
4. Compare the internal rate of return for each choice to the required 8% discount rate.
b. Are there any intangible benefits or negatives that would influence this decision?
c. What decision would you make and why?

Can We Know the Universe The following excerpt was publ.docx
Can We Know the Universe?
The following excerpt was published in Broca's Brain (1979).
by Carl Sagan
"Nothing is rich but the inexhaustible wealth of nature. She shows us only
surfaces, but she is a million fathoms deep." — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
Its goal is to find out how the world works, to seek what regularities
there may be, to penetrate the connections of things—from subnuclear
particles, which may be the constituents of all matter, to living
organisms, the human social community, and thence to the cosmos as a
whole. Our intuition is by no means an infallible guide. Our
perceptions may be distorted by training and prejudice or merely
because of the limitations of our sense organs, which, of course,
perceive directly but a small fraction of the phenomena of the world.
Even so straightforward a question as whether in the absence of friction
a pound of lead falls faster than a gram of fluff was answered
incorrectly by Aristotle and almost everyone else before the time of
Galileo. Science is based on experiment, on a willingness to challenge
old dogma, on an openness to see the universe as it really is.
Accordingly, science sometimes requires courage—at the very least the
courage to question the conventional wisdom.
Beyond this the main trick of science is to really think of something: the
shape of clouds and their occasional sharp bottom edges at the same
altitude everywhere in the sky; the formation of the dewdrop on a leaf;
the origin of a name or a word—Shakespeare, say, or "philanthropic";
the reason for human social customs—the incest taboo, for example;
how it is that a lens in sunlight can make paper burn; how a "walking
stick" got to look so much like a twig; why the Moon seems to follow us
as we walk; what prevents us from digging a hole down to the center of
the Earth; what the definition is of "down" on a spherical Earth; how it
is possible for the body to convert yesterday's lunch into today's muscle
and sinew; or how far is up—does the universe go on forever, or if it
does not, is there any meaning to the question of what lies on the other
side? Some of these questions are pretty easy. Others, especially the
last, are mysteries to which no one even today knows the answer. They
are natural questions to ask. Every culture has posed such questions in
one way or another. Almost always the proposed answers are in the
nature of "Just So Stories," attempted explanations divorced from
experiment, or even from careful comparative observations.
But the scientific cast of mind examines the world critically as if many
alternative worlds might exist, as if other things might be here which
are not. Then we are forced to ask why what we see is present and not
something else. Why are the Sun and the Moon and the planets
spheres? Why not pyramids, or cubes, or dodecahedra? Why not
irregular, jumbly shapes? Why so sym.

Capital Budgeting and Dividend Policy
We examined two very important topics in finance this week; Capital Budgeting and Dividend Policy.
Critically reflect on the importance of selecting the right projects in which to invest capital. Do we always select those projects that have the highest return on investment? What other factors play into capital budgeting decisions?
We also looked at dividend policy. What incentive is there for a company to pay dividends? What signals does dividend policy provide to investors?

Cape Town contends with worst drought in over a century By D.docx
Cape Town contends with worst drought in over a century
By Derek Van Dam, CNN Meteorologist
Updated 1:35 PM ET, Thu June 1, 2017
(CNN)The worst drought in a century is forcing the most stringent water restrictions ever implemented
for South Africa's second largest city.
Cape Town has less than 10% of its useable water remaining for its nearly 4 million residents. The city
is implementing Level 4 water restrictions, which ask residents to limit daily usage to 100 liters (26
gallons) per person. The measure is meant to reduce demand and conserve what little water is still
available and means significant sacrifices for residents.
http://www.capetown.gov.za/media-and-news/Water%20resilience%20a%20heightened%20approach%20to%20avoiding%20water%20shortages%20and%20achieving%20long-term%20water%20security
For Cape Town resident Suzanne Buckley, the restrictions mean adapting to a new lifestyle.
"We have buckets in our shower and bathroom sink to save excess water," Buckley said. "The gray
water is then used to flush our toilets."
The restrictions are in effect across the city in an aggressive effort to preserve its remaining drinking
water, but it may not be enough. South Africa ranks as the 30th driest country in the world and is
considered a water-scarce region. A highly variable climate causes uneven distribution of rainfall,
making droughts even more extreme.
Speaking to CNN, Cape Town Executive Mayor Patricia de Lille explained her concerns about the
growing water crisis. "Climate change is a reality and we cannot depend on rainwater alone to fill our
dams but must look at alternative sources like desalination and underground aquifers."
The Western Cape, one of the country's nine provinces and home to Cape Town, experiences its
annual rainy season during the winter months (June-September). Capetonians are likely several weeks
away from any substantial, drought-relieving rainfall. Even then, predictions are dire for this winter as a
potential El Niño develops off the west coast of South America, according to the Climate Prediction
Center. If El Niño does materialize, it would have a negative effect on rainfall across the Western Cape.
Severe water restrictions
The average American uses between 80 and 100 gallons (302-378 liters) of water per day. This
includes flushing toilets, taking showers or baths, brushing teeth, running dishwashers and
watering lawns.
Imagine restricting daily water use to 25 gallons. Some of the most basic tasks involving water that
we take for granted would be eliminated or severely restricted.
For Cape Town resident Kathy Basso, saving water has meant adopting the "if it's yellow let it mellow, if
it's brown flush it down campaign," a simple and effective measure that saves nearly 10 liters of water
per flush, and has been promoted by city officials.
Hotels across the city are closing their pools and asking patrons to be water .

Cape Town Water Crisis and the Efficient Use of Scarce Water B.docx
The document discusses Cape Town's water crisis from 2015-2017 due to a severe drought. Some key points:
- Cape Town's population grew 79% from 1995 to 2018, straining water supplies. Water levels dropped to 10% capacity by May 2017.
- Strict water restrictions were implemented from 2016-2017 as the crisis worsened, limiting usage to 50 liters/person/day by September 2017. "Day Zero" was set for April 2018 when taps would be shut off.
- While the intense drought has ended, Cape Town is not yet free from water scarcity issues due to population growth. Desalination plants and more efficient dam systems are proposed solutions.
Cantu was hired as a special education teacher by the San Benito Con.docx
Cantu was hired as a special education teacher by the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District under a one-year contract for the 1990–91 school year. On August 18, 1990, shortly before the start of the school year, Cantu hand-delivered to her supervisor a letter of resignation, effective August 17, 1990. In this letter, Cantu requested that her final pay- check be forwarded to an address in McAllen, Texas, some 50 miles from the San Benito office where she tendered the resignation. The San Benito superinten- dent of schools, the only official authorized to accept resignations on behalf of the school district, received Cantu’s resignation on Monday, August 20. The superintendent wrote a letter accepting Cantu’s resig- nation the same day and deposited the letter, properly stamped and addressed, in the mail at approximately 5:15 pm that afternoon. At about 8:00 am the next morning, August 21, Cantu hand-delivered to the superintendent’s office a letter withdrawing her res- ignation. This letter contained a San Benito return ad- dress. In response, the superintendent hand-delivered that same day a copy of his letter mailed the previous day to inform Cantu that her resignation had been ac- cepted and could not be withdrawn. The dispute was taken to the state commissioner of education, who concluded that the school district’s refusal to honor Cantu’s contract was lawful, because the school district’s acceptance of Cantu’s resignation was ef- fective when mailed, which resulted in the formation of an agreement to rescind Cantu’s employment con- tract. Cantu argued that the mailbox rule should not
apply because her offer was made in person and the superintendent was not authorized to accept by using mail. Is this a good argument

we focus in this article on five pre-service teachers who identified critical incidents in
schools related to transphobia and gender construction, and who were concerned about
the enduring gender binary that presents itself in schools. Their experiences highlight the

Canons of Rhetoric Speech AnalysisSo what are the characteristi.docx
Canons of Rhetoric: Speech Analysis
So what are the characteristics of an effective public speaker?
When beginning public speaking, students are asked the above question. It is often met with responses such as a strong voice, charisma, gestures, addressing the audience in a friendly tone, use of humor, and eye contact. These responses are very similar to one another; they are addressing a speaker's ability to perform for an audience. But this performance is complex, often including other important attributes, such as reasoning with solid information, explaining complex ideas clearly, and providing the audience a clear direction of where the presentation is heading.
Situations similar to this one are not uncommon. Many people think of public speaking as the ability to control nerves in front of a group but neglect considering the importance of having ideas well organized before presenting them or practicing a lot to reduce those nerves. Some people think that because they have apprehension about speaking in front a group, they are completely inept in a public speaking situation. They are often surprised to find out that they are only looking at one piece of the puzzle.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle and his contemporaries began writing about what has become the field of communication today. In writing about what was called the canons of rhetoric, they were laying the foundation for public speaking as we know it today.
Four canons, or categories of criticism, were established:
· invention,
· arrangement,
· style, and
· delivery.
Invention looks at the creation of ideas. When evaluating a speaker from this point of view, the critic may note whether or not the speaker was found to be an authority on the subject matter. This was known as ethos. The critic also may question the use of evidence presented by the speaker (known as logos) and whether the evidence seems to prove what the speaker leads the audience to think it proves. A speaker's credibility would be examined under this canon, and though opinion based, it plays an important role in a speaker's success.
Questions asked under the invention canon might include the following:
· How well informed is this speaker?
· Does the speaker support claims with reliable evidence that is current and from a credible source?
Arrangement allows a critic to analyze the components of a presentation to determine whether or not they accomplish what the speaker intends. For example, a strong introduction usually allows the speaker to capture the audience's attention, to address a central message concisely, and to provide the audience with a clear sense of what path the presentation will be taking. A critic looking at arrangement would be examining the arrangement of ideas and how they contribute to the overall message the speaker intends.
Questions for this canon might include the following:
· Were things presented in a way that was easy to understand and follow?
· Do the introduction, body, and conclusion .

NAVIGATING IN STORMY WATERS
Ann E. Lopez and Jacqueline Button, OISE, University of Toronto
This case study examines the tensions of social justice and culturally relevant
leadership. It also examines the challenges of school administration and
building cohesive teams. This case engages readers in theorizing about social
justice and culturally relevant school leadership as well as thinking about
practical ways to make the endeavour of school leadership and administration
more effective. We present the challenges faced by Arlene, a principal in her
second year at a large diverse secondary school and some of her challenges
building a cohesive team, dealing with the union, and within the construct of
social justice leadership.
Case Description
Arlene is in her second year as principal at Yellowridge Secondary School (Yellowridge
SS). Yellowridge is one of five secondary schools in Ridgecole, a growing city of over 250,000
people that is ethnically, racially, linguistically diverse. The city accurately represents the
growing diversity in most of Canada’s urban areas. Yellowridge SS, like the city, is very diverse.
The immediate area in which the school is located could be considered middle class, with
families representing many racial and ethnic groups. Most of the housing is single dwelling, with
a few rental apartment buildings. The school boundary also includes a low-income community
with subsidized housing. Students from the low-income community are bussed to Yellowridge
SS. Over the years the number of students bussed to the school has increased. The school is
traditionally known for its strong academic program and high graduation rates.
Arlene’s administrative team is diverse and consists of three vice principals. She is
white. Cassandra, a white female is in her third year as vice principal at Yellowridge SS. Michael

is the longest serving member of the administrative team. He is a white male and has been a vice
principal at the school for six years. He is close to retirement and has no interest in becoming a
principal. Melinda, a black female was appointed to Yellowridge at the same time as Arlene. She
is very much interested in becoming a principal and sees Arlene as a mentor. Like most
secondary schools in the area, the teaching staff of 110 is predominantly white. Of the one 110
staff at the school there were two black teachers, two South Asians, and one Asian. The staff is
predominantly female. There has been very little staff turnover. A large percentage of the staff
has been at the school for over 10 years.
All teachers in secondary schools in the province are members of the provincial union,
a registered trade union that negotiates with the school board on issues of salaries .

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
The confectionery industry has fared well in recent years, both during the height of the recession and its aftermath. In 2014, the U.S. Retail Confectionery Industry is generated $34.5 billion in retail sales. Among more than 300 product categories across the store, confectionery is growing faster than 184 other categories, with 92 of those showing declines, according to the National Confectioners Association (NCA). Over the 52 weeks through Nov. 1, 2015, confectionery kept in lockstep with the total store growth of 3.2%, with a dollar sales growth of 3% for combined chocolate and non-chocolate items. This trend of strong sales and tempered growth is expected to continue for the coming years.
Chocolate is one of the most popular and widely consumed products in the world, with North American countries devouring the lion's share, followed by Europe. Chocolate sales in the United States account for the majority of sales in the industry—more than 60%—with $21.1 billion inPage 8 | Top of Articlechocolate sales generated in 2014; this number increased 2.9% from the previous year. During this time, premium chocolate sales grew by 11%. Dark chocolate sales increased 8% in 2014, but milk chocolate remains the largest chocolate segment in the United States. Premium and dark chocolate are the strongest segments of the market in the United States in terms of growth, though not market share. This growth over the last decade has been driven in large .

· Assess the situation.- You have to know what type of situation that you are dealing with to be able to handle it efficiently. You don’t want your officers running into a gun fight when its actually a fire. What kind of situation are we dealing with? How many suspects are involved? Where is it taking place. There are all things to consider when accessing the situation.
· Identify the danger zone. – Knowing where the danger zone is will keep the public out of harm’s way when dealing with the situation.
· Establish an inner perimeter. - This would be the location where only authorized people would be allowed. This allows for law enforcement agents to keep control on the situation at hand.
· Establish an outer perimeter. – I believe this falls along the same lines with the outer perimeter. This allows for some access to the safe parts.
· Establish the incident command post. – This will help with keeping control of the situation. All information would be streamlined to this location. This is critical as with a ICP, everyone knows where their information is coming to and they know exactly where to report.
· Establish the staging area. – Another critical piece because it allows a central location where resources can flow in and out of.
· Request additional resources. – This is critical because if additional resources are needed, law enforcement knows how or who to go to.
I believe that the NIMS & ICS policy philosophy is something that needs to be embraced by all of law enforcement as it can be looked to as a blueprint or better yet, a guideline to what needs to be done in case of catastrophe. Without this, it is easy for a critical piece to missed which could eventually result in more loss of lives
George Jay
Assess the situation is the first critical task for law enforcement; being able to understand what the situation is immediate could save lives. Law enforcement will respond to a call for shots fired and have to determine if its an active shooter or something different. We see this during the Las Vegas shooting were Las Vegas police officers discovered they were dealing with an active shooter. The next task would be to identify the danger zones. The officer who becomes the Isdent commander will have to start mapping out the hot, warm, and cold zone so that Emergency responders understand where to go. You don't want fire arriving in the hot zone while an active shooter is being engaged. having the tools to complete this task is essential. "Watch commanders and lieutenants use command stations that contain dry-erase boards, markers, notepads, and folders containing checklists from the department's critical incident management guide for various situations"(Phibbs & Snawder, 2014). The inner perimeter has to be established before the outer perimeter to protect the local population and ensure no one goes into a hostile situation. Once the inner perimeter has been established, you can use additional resources to develop .

Sources of Finance for the Proposed CI Project and the Gap between the Theory and Practice of Capital Budgeting

Introduction Comment by Ufuk Misirlioglu: No need along introduction, and add a very limited contribution.
Capital budgeting is one of the key processes businesses use to determine the potential of projects succeeding or failing to recuperate the initial financial investments. The process is very critical when large companies want to expand or introduce huge assets, which probably require colossal amounts of first cash investment as well as maintenance. These investments and projects can range from constructing massive new production plants to other long-term schemes. In such instances, business capital investment managers often spend a significant amount of time assessing the new project’s prospective lifetime success, including the cash outflows and inflows. This investment appraisal process is important in evaluating whether the potential outcomes or revenues generated can meet the target benchmark.
After achieving a successful capital budgeting plan, it is critical that a firm evaluates its prospective financial sources to fund the proposed projects. For example, based on its financial position, the projected amount of investment capital, and the repayment duration, an organization can either opt for a bank loan or sells its equity to other potential investors. That being said, Foster Construction Ltd needs to assess a wide range of possible financiers to support the purchase of the new ALII. This paper, therefore, mainly discusses some of these capital financing proposals the company can explore, with the last section detailing the existing gap between theory and practice of capital budgeting.
Discussion
A. Sources of Finance for the Proposed CI Project
Foster is a reputable company and boasts of a sizeable annual revenue-meaning that the firm cannot struggle to pay its debts. We truly have quite a range of options that can assist us to fund the new ALII capital project as a private firm. The following are some of the two most viable financial alternatives for the organization:
Firstly, I propose we obtain a short-term loan, probably payable within four years, from a renowned financial institution or commercial bank. I strongly believe a short-term loan can assist the Foster Construction Ltd to buy and maintain the modern ALII crane and restore the old one for the next four years. However, there are critical factors that must be considered before identifying the right financier and the amount we can apply. Current and projected inflation rates in the country will definitely play a central role. We must also consider the interest rates offered by each particular organization to determine the lowest repayable amount within the four years. Comment by Ufuk Misirlioglu: Mismatch.

Capital Investment Case Waterways Corporation is a private.docx
Capital Investment Case
Waterways Corporation is a private company providing irrigation and drainage products
and services for residential, commercial, and public sector projects, including farms,
parks, and sports fields. It has a plant located in a small city north of Toronto that
manufactures the products it markets to retail outlets across Canada. It also maintains a
division that provides installation and warranty servicing in the Greater Toronto Area.
The mission of Waterways is to manufacture quality parts that can be used for effective
water management, be it drainage or irrigation. The company hopes to satisfy its
customers with its products, provide rapid and responsible service, and serve the
community and the employees who represent it in each community.
Waterways puts much emphasis on cash flow when it plans for capital investments. The
company chose its discount rate of 8% based on the rate of return it must pay its
owners and creditors. Using that rate, Waterways then uses different methods to
determine the best decisions for making capital outlays.
In 2020 Waterways is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it
now has at its installation and training division. The new backhoes are faster, cost less
to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the
operators, and have associated one-year maintenance agreements. The old backhoes
are working well, but they do require considerable maintenance. The operators are very
familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new skills to use the new
equipment.
The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new
backhoes.
Old Backhoes New Backhoes
Purchase cost when new $90,000 $200,000
Salvage value now $42,000 None
Investment in major overhaul needed in next year $55,000 None
Salvage value in 8 years None $ 50,000
Remaining life 8 years 8 years
Net cash flow generated each year $25,250 $ 41,000
Instructions
a. Using the following methods, evaluate whether to purchase the new equipment or
overhaul the old equipment. (Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the cost
of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage value of the old machine to
determine the initial cost of the investment.) Ignore income taxes in your analysis.
1. Use the net present value method for buying new or keeping the old.
2. Use the payback method for each choice. (Hint: For the old machine, evaluate the
payback of an overhaul.)
3. Compare the profitability index for each choice.
4. Compare the internal rate of return for each choice to the required 8% discount rate.
b. Are there any intangible benefits or negatives that would influence this decision?
c. What decision would you make and why?

Can We Know the Universe The following excerpt was publ.docx
Can We Know the Universe?
The following excerpt was published in Broca's Brain (1979).
by Carl Sagan
"Nothing is rich but the inexhaustible wealth of nature. She shows us only
surfaces, but she is a million fathoms deep." — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
Its goal is to find out how the world works, to seek what regularities
there may be, to penetrate the connections of things—from subnuclear
particles, which may be the constituents of all matter, to living
organisms, the human social community, and thence to the cosmos as a
whole. Our intuition is by no means an infallible guide. Our
perceptions may be distorted by training and prejudice or merely
because of the limitations of our sense organs, which, of course,
perceive directly but a small fraction of the phenomena of the world.
Even so straightforward a question as whether in the absence of friction
a pound of lead falls faster than a gram of fluff was answered
incorrectly by Aristotle and almost everyone else before the time of
Galileo. Science is based on experiment, on a willingness to challenge
old dogma, on an openness to see the universe as it really is.
Accordingly, science sometimes requires courage—at the very least the
courage to question the conventional wisdom.
Beyond this the main trick of science is to really think of something: the
shape of clouds and their occasional sharp bottom edges at the same
altitude everywhere in the sky; the formation of the dewdrop on a leaf;
the origin of a name or a word—Shakespeare, say, or "philanthropic";
the reason for human social customs—the incest taboo, for example;
how it is that a lens in sunlight can make paper burn; how a "walking
stick" got to look so much like a twig; why the Moon seems to follow us
as we walk; what prevents us from digging a hole down to the center of
the Earth; what the definition is of "down" on a spherical Earth; how it
is possible for the body to convert yesterday's lunch into today's muscle
and sinew; or how far is up—does the universe go on forever, or if it
does not, is there any meaning to the question of what lies on the other
side? Some of these questions are pretty easy. Others, especially the
last, are mysteries to which no one even today knows the answer. They
are natural questions to ask. Every culture has posed such questions in
one way or another. Almost always the proposed answers are in the
nature of "Just So Stories," attempted explanations divorced from
experiment, or even from careful comparative observations.
But the scientific cast of mind examines the world critically as if many
alternative worlds might exist, as if other things might be here which
are not. Then we are forced to ask why what we see is present and not
something else. Why are the Sun and the Moon and the planets
spheres? Why not pyramids, or cubes, or dodecahedra? Why not
irregular, jumbly shapes? Why so sym.

Cape Town contends with worst drought in over a century By D.docx
Cape Town contends with worst drought in over a century
By Derek Van Dam, CNN Meteorologist
Updated 1:35 PM ET, Thu June 1, 2017
(CNN)The worst drought in a century is forcing the most stringent water restrictions ever implemented
for South Africa's second largest city.
Cape Town has less than 10% of its useable water remaining for its nearly 4 million residents. The city
is implementing Level 4 water restrictions, which ask residents to limit daily usage to 100 liters (26
gallons) per person. The measure is meant to reduce demand and conserve what little water is still
available and means significant sacrifices for residents.
http://www.capetown.gov.za/media-and-news/Water%20resilience%20a%20heightened%20approach%20to%20avoiding%20water%20shortages%20and%20achieving%20long-term%20water%20security
For Cape Town resident Suzanne Buckley, the restrictions mean adapting to a new lifestyle.
"We have buckets in our shower and bathroom sink to save excess water," Buckley said. "The gray
water is then used to flush our toilets."
The restrictions are in effect across the city in an aggressive effort to preserve its remaining drinking
water, but it may not be enough. South Africa ranks as the 30th driest country in the world and is
considered a water-scarce region. A highly variable climate causes uneven distribution of rainfall,
making droughts even more extreme.
Speaking to CNN, Cape Town Executive Mayor Patricia de Lille explained her concerns about the
growing water crisis. "Climate change is a reality and we cannot depend on rainwater alone to fill our
dams but must look at alternative sources like desalination and underground aquifers."
The Western Cape, one of the country's nine provinces and home to Cape Town, experiences its
annual rainy season during the winter months (June-September). Capetonians are likely several weeks
away from any substantial, drought-relieving rainfall. Even then, predictions are dire for this winter as a
potential El Niño develops off the west coast of South America, according to the Climate Prediction
Center. If El Niño does materialize, it would have a negative effect on rainfall across the Western Cape.
Severe water restrictions
The average American uses between 80 and 100 gallons (302-378 liters) of water per day. This
includes flushing toilets, taking showers or baths, brushing teeth, running dishwashers and
watering lawns.
Imagine restricting daily water use to 25 gallons. Some of the most basic tasks involving water that
we take for granted would be eliminated or severely restricted.
For Cape Town resident Kathy Basso, saving water has meant adopting the "if it's yellow let it mellow, if
it's brown flush it down campaign," a simple and effective measure that saves nearly 10 liters of water
per flush, and has been promoted by city officials.
Hotels across the city are closing their pools and asking patrons to be water .

Cape Town Water Crisis and the Efficient Use of Scarce Water B.docx
The document discusses Cape Town's water crisis from 2015-2017 due to a severe drought. Some key points:
- Cape Town's population grew 79% from 1995 to 2018, straining water supplies. Water levels dropped to 10% capacity by May 2017.
- Strict water restrictions were implemented from 2016-2017 as the crisis worsened, limiting usage to 50 liters/person/day by September 2017. "Day Zero" was set for April 2018 when taps would be shut off.
- While the intense drought has ended, Cape Town is not yet free from water scarcity issues due to population growth. Desalination plants and more efficient dam systems are proposed solutions.
Cantu was hired as a special education teacher by the San Benito Con.docx
Cantu was hired as a special education teacher by the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District under a one-year contract for the 1990–91 school year. On August 18, 1990, shortly before the start of the school year, Cantu hand-delivered to her supervisor a letter of resignation, effective August 17, 1990. In this letter, Cantu requested that her final pay- check be forwarded to an address in McAllen, Texas, some 50 miles from the San Benito office where she tendered the resignation. The San Benito superinten- dent of schools, the only official authorized to accept resignations on behalf of the school district, received Cantu’s resignation on Monday, August 20. The superintendent wrote a letter accepting Cantu’s resig- nation the same day and deposited the letter, properly stamped and addressed, in the mail at approximately 5:15 pm that afternoon. At about 8:00 am the next morning, August 21, Cantu hand-delivered to the superintendent’s office a letter withdrawing her res- ignation. This letter contained a San Benito return ad- dress. In response, the superintendent hand-delivered that same day a copy of his letter mailed the previous day to inform Cantu that her resignation had been ac- cepted and could not be withdrawn. The dispute was taken to the state commissioner of education, who concluded that the school district’s refusal to honor Cantu’s contract was lawful, because the school district’s acceptance of Cantu’s resignation was ef- fective when mailed, which resulted in the formation of an agreement to rescind Cantu’s employment con- tract. Cantu argued that the mailbox rule should not
apply because her offer was made in person and the superintendent was not authorized to accept by using mail. Is this a good argument

Abstract
Our study provides examples of how critical curricula and social justice education can
be brought together to inform teacher education. Building upon our ongoing longitud-

we focus in this article on five pre-service teachers who identified critical incidents in
schools related to transphobia and gender construction, and who were concerned about
the enduring gender binary that presents itself in schools. Their experiences highlight the

Canons of Rhetoric Speech AnalysisSo what are the characteristi.docx
Canons of Rhetoric: Speech Analysis
So what are the characteristics of an effective public speaker?
When beginning public speaking, students are asked the above question. It is often met with responses such as a strong voice, charisma, gestures, addressing the audience in a friendly tone, use of humor, and eye contact. These responses are very similar to one another; they are addressing a speaker's ability to perform for an audience. But this performance is complex, often including other important attributes, such as reasoning with solid information, explaining complex ideas clearly, and providing the audience a clear direction of where the presentation is heading.
Situations similar to this one are not uncommon. Many people think of public speaking as the ability to control nerves in front of a group but neglect considering the importance of having ideas well organized before presenting them or practicing a lot to reduce those nerves. Some people think that because they have apprehension about speaking in front a group, they are completely inept in a public speaking situation. They are often surprised to find out that they are only looking at one piece of the puzzle.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle and his contemporaries began writing about what has become the field of communication today. In writing about what was called the canons of rhetoric, they were laying the foundation for public speaking as we know it today.
Four canons, or categories of criticism, were established:
· invention,
· arrangement,
· style, and
· delivery.
Invention looks at the creation of ideas. When evaluating a speaker from this point of view, the critic may note whether or not the speaker was found to be an authority on the subject matter. This was known as ethos. The critic also may question the use of evidence presented by the speaker (known as logos) and whether the evidence seems to prove what the speaker leads the audience to think it proves. A speaker's credibility would be examined under this canon, and though opinion based, it plays an important role in a speaker's success.
Questions asked under the invention canon might include the following:
· How well informed is this speaker?
· Does the speaker support claims with reliable evidence that is current and from a credible source?
Arrangement allows a critic to analyze the components of a presentation to determine whether or not they accomplish what the speaker intends. For example, a strong introduction usually allows the speaker to capture the audience's attention, to address a central message concisely, and to provide the audience with a clear sense of what path the presentation will be taking. A critic looking at arrangement would be examining the arrangement of ideas and how they contribute to the overall message the speaker intends.
Questions for this canon might include the following:
· Were things presented in a way that was easy to understand and follow?

Canon 6 of the
ASCE Code of Ethics states,
"Engineers shall act in such a manner as to uphold and enhance the honor, integrity, and dignity of the engineering profession and shall act with zero-tolerance for bribery, fraud, and corruption."
Recently, the media has exposed examples of "pay-to-play" scandals over a broad range of organizations from college admissions to engineering and construction firms.
How does this affect the Civil Engineering profession?

NAVIGATING IN STORMY WATERS
Ann E. Lopez and Jacqueline Button, OISE, University of Toronto
This case study examines the tensions of social justice and culturally relevant
leadership. It also examines the challenges of school administration and
building cohesive teams. This case engages readers in theorizing about social
justice and culturally relevant school leadership as well as thinking about
practical ways to make the endeavour of school leadership and administration
more effective. We present the challenges faced by Arlene, a principal in her
second year at a large diverse secondary school and some of her challenges
building a cohesive team, dealing with the union, and within the construct of
social justice leadership.
Case Description
Arlene is in her second year as principal at Yellowridge Secondary School (Yellowridge
SS). Yellowridge is one of five secondary schools in Ridgecole, a growing city of over 250,000
people that is ethnically, racially, linguistically diverse. The city accurately represents the
growing diversity in most of Canada’s urban areas. Yellowridge SS, like the city, is very diverse.
The immediate area in which the school is located could be considered middle class, with
families representing many racial and ethnic groups. Most of the housing is single dwelling, with
a few rental apartment buildings. The school boundary also includes a low-income community
with subsidized housing. Students from the low-income community are bussed to Yellowridge
SS. Over the years the number of students bussed to the school has increased. The school is
traditionally known for its strong academic program and high graduation rates.
Arlene’s administrative team is diverse and consists of three vice principals. She is
white. Cassandra, a white female is in her third year as vice principal at Yellowridge SS. Michael

is the longest serving member of the administrative team. He is a white male and has been a vice
principal at the school for six years. He is close to retirement and has no interest in becoming a
principal. Melinda, a black female was appointed to Yellowridge at the same time as Arlene. She
is very much interested in becoming a principal and sees Arlene as a mentor. Like most
secondary schools in the area, the teaching staff of 110 is predominantly white. Of the one 110
staff at the school there were two black teachers, two South Asians, and one Asian. The staff is
predominantly female. There has been very little staff turnover. A large percentage of the staff
has been at the school for over 10 years.
All teachers in secondary schools in the province are members of the provincial union,
a registered trade union that negotiates with the school board on issues of salaries .

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
The confectionery industry has fared well in recent years, both during the height of the recession and its aftermath. In 2014, the U.S. Retail Confectionery Industry is generated $34.5 billion in retail sales. Among more than 300 product categories across the store, confectionery is growing faster than 184 other categories, with 92 of those showing declines, according to the National Confectioners Association (NCA). Over the 52 weeks through Nov. 1, 2015, confectionery kept in lockstep with the total store growth of 3.2%, with a dollar sales growth of 3% for combined chocolate and non-chocolate items. This trend of strong sales and tempered growth is expected to continue for the coming years.
Chocolate is one of the most popular and widely consumed products in the world, with North American countries devouring the lion's share, followed by Europe. Chocolate sales in the United States account for the majority of sales in the industry—more than 60%—with $21.1 billion inPage 8 | Top of Articlechocolate sales generated in 2014; this number increased 2.9% from the previous year. During this time, premium chocolate sales grew by 11%. Dark chocolate sales increased 8% in 2014, but milk chocolate remains the largest chocolate segment in the United States. Premium and dark chocolate are the strongest segments of the market in the United States in terms of growth, though not market share. This growth over the last decade has been driven in large .

· Assess the situation.- You have to know what type of situation that you are dealing with to be able to handle it efficiently. You don’t want your officers running into a gun fight when its actually a fire. What kind of situation are we dealing with? How many suspects are involved? Where is it taking place. There are all things to consider when accessing the situation.
· Identify the danger zone. – Knowing where the danger zone is will keep the public out of harm’s way when dealing with the situation.
· Establish an inner perimeter. - This would be the location where only authorized people would be allowed. This allows for law enforcement agents to keep control on the situation at hand.
· Establish an outer perimeter. – I believe this falls along the same lines with the outer perimeter. This allows for some access to the safe parts.
· Establish the incident command post. – This will help with keeping control of the situation. All information would be streamlined to this location. This is critical as with a ICP, everyone knows where their information is coming to and they know exactly where to report.
· Establish the staging area. – Another critical piece because it allows a central location where resources can flow in and out of.
· Request additional resources. – This is critical because if additional resources are needed, law enforcement knows how or who to go to.
I believe that the NIMS & ICS policy philosophy is something that needs to be embraced by all of law enforcement as it can be looked to as a blueprint or better yet, a guideline to what needs to be done in case of catastrophe. Without this, it is easy for a critical piece to missed which could eventually result in more loss of lives
George Jay
Assess the situation is the first critical task for law enforcement; being able to understand what the situation is immediate could save lives. Law enforcement will respond to a call for shots fired and have to determine if its an active shooter or something different. We see this during the Las Vegas shooting were Las Vegas police officers discovered they were dealing with an active shooter. The next task would be to identify the danger zones. The officer who becomes the Isdent commander will have to start mapping out the hot, warm, and cold zone so that Emergency responders understand where to go. You don't want fire arriving in the hot zone while an active shooter is being engaged. having the tools to complete this task is essential. "Watch commanders and lieutenants use command stations that contain dry-erase boards, markers, notepads, and folders containing checklists from the department's critical incident management guide for various situations"(Phibbs & Snawder, 2014). The inner perimeter has to be established before the outer perimeter to protect the local population and ensure no one goes into a hostile situation. Once the inner perimeter has been established, you can use additional resources to develop .

- 1. 1. Purpose This homework builds an understanding of the Application Layer, Winsock programming, and multithreaded programming. 2. Description Using Winsock and Visual Studio .NET 2013, your goal is to create a Gnutella crawler that discovers all currently present peers in the system. Your program will first contact a seed webserver to acquire a set of initial ultrapeers, traverse the entire Gnutella network in the BFS order, and then record the identities of found ultrapeers and their children (i.e., leaf nodes) in some text file. Using this information, you will then analyze the collected data to answer several questions about geographic and domain diversity of peers as well as popularity of individual user agents (i.e., client software).
