PSY 638 Final Project Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric
Prompt: For Milestone One of your final project, you will submit a draft of the Problem Identification section of your grant proposal. Think about the professional
environment you will be seeking upon graduation and a potential problem within that professional environment that could be solved through your
recommended program. Some examples of professional settings and grant proposal problems include:
School/Educational Setting
Orchard Middle School has over 50 at-risk students with a reading performance that directly affects their overall self-esteem and negative behavior
issues. The school submitted a grant proposal to support development of a program to help all students with poor reading skills learn to read at grade
level and increase their reading speed, comprehension, and reading attention span and overall sense of worth, esteem, and achievement. Studies have
shown those who do better in school, fare better with stable mental health.
Outpatient Mental Health
The Open Arms Family Center requested a grant in the amount of $250,000 to contribute to the start-up funds for a family homeless shelter and mental
health services. As an innovative, all-inclusive shelter program, the center aimed to provide for 10 families with children under the age of five who are
experiencing homelessness. The center is committed to its mission of decreasing the overall number of homeless families in the Metro Boston area as
well as working to break the cycle of homelessness.
Community Outreach
The purpose of Healthy Tomorrows is to stimulate innovative, community-based programs that employ prevention strategies to promote access to
healthcare for children and their families nationwide. HTPCP funding supports direct-service projects, not research projects. Healthy Tomorrows is
designed to support family-centered initiatives that implement innovative approaches for focusing resources to promote community; define preventive
child health and developmental objectives for vulnerable children and their families, especially those with limited access to quality health services; foster
cooperation among community organizations, agencies, and families; involve pediatricians and other pediatric, child, and adolescent mental health
professionals; build community and statewide partnerships among professionals in health, education, social services, government, and business to
achieve self-sustaining programs to ensure healthy children and families. Healthy Tomorrows requested a grant proposal for $10,000 to conduct a needs
analysis for a meal delivery program to serve its less mobile community members.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in your milestone assignment:
I. Problem Identification: Research and identify resources for a specific developmental, behavioral, or diagnostic need for children or adolescents in
your community.
a. Preva ...
Characteristics of Living Things (50 points)Living things shar.docx
Characteristics of Living Things (50 points)
Living things share 8 characteristics (listed in Chapter 1 of your textbook on page 19). A living thing grows, undergoes metabolism, responds to its environment, reproduces, passes DNA to the next generation, maintains homeostasis, changes over time, and is made up of cells. A non-living thing may seem to do one or more of these things, but to be classified as living; all eight characteristics must be present. Sometimes, you may see something that seems alive but is not. Though you can’t see it, you have likely experienced it; one of those things is a virus.
Answer BOTH of the following questions:
1. Using all 8 of the characteristics that define life, indicate which one(s) viruses have and which one(s) they do not, and explain each difference.
2. With these results, present an argument that a virus is a living thing. Then, present the opposite argument that viruses are not alive.
You can fill out a table like this (though this is not required):
Characteristic
Virus
(yes, no, maybe, sort of)
Explanation
Reproduce
Pass along their traits through DNA
Consume energy sources and expel waste products to maintain homeostasis
Respond to their environments
Respond to stimulus
Change over time
Can differ as individuals while still being part of a species
Are made up of cells
Review the following videos to understand what viruses are and how they work:
· Flu Attack! How a Virus Invades Your Body
· What is a Virus? How do Viruses Work?
Reading these discussions may help you to form your arguments on the status of viruses:
· Are Viruses Alive?
· Are Viruses Alive? Although Viruses Challenge Our Concept of What "Living" Means, They Are Vital Members of the Web of Life
Follow these guidelines for your paper:
· Utilize at least 1 credible source to support the arguments presented in the paper. Make sure you cite appropriately within your paper, and list the reference(s) in APA format on your Reference page.
· Your paper should be 1–2 pages in length, not counting the Title page and Reference page.

** Discussion Due Thursday and FInal Paper due Sunday ***
Communication Challenges
Select either Option A or Option B and indicate in your post which option you have selected.
Option A
: Compared to a non-healthcare organization, a manager must have a special skill set for communicating with health professionals and non professionals within a health care organization. What do you believe are those particular skill sets? What are the ethical, financial, and legal implications for communication within a health care organization? What are the some of the primary barriers to communication between a manager and his/her staff?
Option B
: Case Study: Your Word Against His
Review the details of the case “Your Word Against His” in your course text. Describe in detail any options you could pursue to set the matter straight for all parties who received the wrong information, while incurring the minimum possible public disfavor by the vice president. In addition, describe what you think went wrong this in case. Where was the communication breakdown, and how could it have been avoided?
Guided Response for Option A and Option B
: Review several of your classmates’ posts. Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers. Discuss the reasons why effective communication is so important in organizations. What tools could managers use to foster better communication in both cases?
The Health Professional as Manager
Select either Option A or Option B and indicate in your post which option you have selected.
Option A
: Imagine your colleague and friend, Jane Smith, has recently been promoted to department manager for your facility. You have worked side-by-side with Jane for the past ten years and can speak to her excellent skills as a health professional. However, Jane has no prior management experience and many of your co-workers are fearful that she does not possess the necessary leadership skills to effectively lead the team. You feel conflicted because you agree with your colleagues but you also have faith that Jane will do her best. Considering Jane’s situation, describe the dual role of the health professional as manager. What challenges do managers face when they make the leap from health care professional to manager? What are some of the common complaints to indicate the presence of ill-fitting management?
Option B
: Given the effort and creativity that you have put into your Senior Projects for this course, use this discussion board as a forum to share your topic with your classmates. Provide a comprehensive description of the topic you chose, discuss your reason(s) for choosing the topic, and present some of the key information that you learned throughout the research process.

Overview: In this final project, you will create a research report based on the application of action research processes for developing problem solving strategies.
In designing the report, you will follow the best practices for ethical research. You will utilize the research process to inform decisions in your professional life
and as a framework for approaching research projects in other courses in your program. The final product will be a comprehensive research report using the
five-step research process (identify the problem; understand the theoretical framework of the problem; design the research study; collect, explain, and analyze
the data; report the results; and make conclusions and recommendations).
For Milestone One, submit a draft of your business problem and literature review. Using the problem you identified in your Module One journal and the
feedback you received, describe the research problem including the context in which it exists. Using the problem statement, describe the stakeholders and
research objective. Based on the research objective, develop a research question that clearly and concisely articulates in one sentence the purpose of the study.
Consider the key real or potential ethical issues or challenges of the study.
After describing your business problem and research question, prepare a comprehensive literature review that carefully and thoughtfully examines the research
problem from a scholarly perspective using a minimum of seven quality sources. A minimum of three of the sources must be selected from scholarly, peer-
reviewed journals. Other quality sources can be professional publications or magazines, internal corporate publications such as annual reports or white papers,
or established news sources.

Critical Analysis Portfolio and Presentation Proposal
Overview: For the first part of your final project, the critical analysis portfolio, you will select an issue or event in wellness and critically analyze it through the
four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences. By viewing the issue/event through these lenses, you will
gain insight into how the interconnected nature of wellness affects society, as well as both your own individual framework of perception and the choices,
attitudes, and behaviors of others in the world around you.
For this first milestone, due in Module Two, you will select an issue/event to analyze through the four general education lenses. You will explain the issue/event
and its relationship to wellness, as well as describe its connection to all four lenses.
Prompt: First, review the module resources you have so far encountered, as well as your work in Module One. In addition, it is suggested that you visit the IDS
402 Research LibGuide (linked in the Start Here section of your course) for guidance on how to select a topic. Select one issue/event in wellness and write a
paper that addresses how this issue/event fits into the framework of wellness, and then addresses how each lens influences perceptions and attitudes toward
the issue/event, wellness, and society. The paper should outline each lens’s impact and framing of the issue/event. Be sure to provide a working thesis
statement and clear definitions for your key terms.
Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below.
I. Introduction: You will compile a series of critical analyses of a single issue/event in wellness through the four general education lenses: history,
humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences.
A. Topic: Using the four lenses, explain how an issue/event within wellness has or has not influenced modern society.
II. Lens Connections: In this section of your assignment, you will describe the connections between your issue/event and each of the four general
education lenses.
A. What is the connection of your issue/event to the lens of history for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize evidence from theory
and research to support your analysis.
B. What is the connection of your issue/event to the lens of the humanities for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize evidence

BILTRITE PRACTICE CASE
Module XV of the Biltrite audit practice case contains an audit report exercise.
This exercise may be completed at this time.
Module XV: Audit Report
The Denise Vaughan audit team completed its audit field work on February 15,
2010. A conference was held on that date involving members of the audit
firm and Biltrite management. Participants in the conference were Denise
Vaughan, partner in charge of the Biltrite engagement; Carolyn Volmar,
audit manager; Richard Derick, in-charge auditor; Trevor Lawton, Biltrite’s
CEO; Gerald Groth, Biltrite’s controller; and Marlene McAfee, Biltrite’s trea-
surer. The Biltrite representatives agreed to all of the audit adjustments and
reclassifications proposed by the audit team, and they agreed to reflect them
in the December 31, 2009, financial statements. They also agreed to modify
and/or add footnote disclosures as recommended by the audit team.
At the conclusion of the conference, the audit team obtained a client repre-
sentation letter from Biltrite management and presented management with a
copy of the “significant deficiencies” letter outlining discovered internal control
deficiencies. The original of this letter was sent to Biltrite’s audit committee.
The legal action initiated against Biltrite by Rollfast, a competitor, for
alleged patent infringement, was not yet settled as of February 15. Because the
letter obtained by Derick from Biltrite’s outside legal couns ...

Question #1
Mike is a homeowner. Jill runs a snowplowing business. Mike asks Jill to provide an estimate for how much she would charge to snowplow Mike’s driveway. After Jill inspects Mike’s driveway, the parties have the following conversation on September 1, 2011:
Jill: “$50 each time I snowplow your driveway.”
Mike: “OK, sounds good. Please do so.”
Jill regularly snowplows Joe’s driveway during the 2011-12 season. In May 2012, Jill sends a bill to Mike for all visits she made in the 2011-12 season, and Mike promptly pays that bill in full without any other communication taking place between Jill and Mike.
• Jill regularly snowplows Mike’s driveway during the 2012-13 season and sends a bill for those visits in March 2013. What are the rights and responsibilities of the parties under contract law?
• Instead, assume that Jill does not come during the first major snowfall in 2012. Does Mike have any contractual rights against JILL? Explain fully.
• Ignore the previous bullets. Instead, assume Mike promptly pays the 2011-12 bill in full without any other communication. On September 1, 2012, Jill raises her prices 20% for all of her customers, and she notifies Mike of this fact. He does not respond. Jill regularly snowplows Mike’s driveway during the 2012-13 season and in March 2013 sends Mike a bill for those visits reflecting her increased prices. What are the right and responsibilities of the parties under contract law.
Question #2:
At the wedding of Tom and Mary, Tom’s father, Frank, told them that he wanted to live with them and to have them care for him for the rest of his life. He said, “If you agree to do this, I will deliver to you, within two years, a deed to my home.” Tom and Mary told Frank they accepted his offer and promised to look after Frank with loving care in Frank’s home. They immediately moved in with him.
Soon after moving into Frank’s home, Tom and Mary used their own money to add a new wing to the house, pay the outstanding property taxes, and pay off an existing mortgage of $25,000.
One year after Tom and Mary moved into the home, Tom reminded Frank of his promise to convey the property to them. Frank became angry, and refused to execute the deed and ordered Tom and Mary to leave the premises.

BUS 1 Mini Exam – Chapters 05 – 10 40 Points S.docx
BUS 1
Mini Exam – Chapters 05 – 10
40 Points
Short Answer – Mind your time
Answer four questions from #1 - #6. Must answer #3 and #6. Answer
the XC question for extra credit. Question point count weighted equally.
It is all about business, so make sure to demonstrate / synthesize the bigger picture of business in each and
every answer.
Like all essays, specifying an exacting target word count is rather problematic. I am thinking each answer
would be about 250 - 300 words each, depending upon writing style. If you tend to be descriptive and whatnot,
that number could be 350 - 450 words.
Sidebar: Gauge your knowledge level in this way. This exam should take about 90 – 120 minutes to complete.
Students taking much longer may want to work with me to assess / discuss ways to help master this material in
a future conference session.
1. Although most new firms start out as sole proprietorships, few large firms are organized this way. Why
is the sole proprietorship such a popular form of ownership for new firms? What features of the sole
proprietorship make it unattractive to growing firms?
2. List and discuss at least three causes of small business failure. Workarounds, fixes, or methods to avoid
failure should be discussed.
3. Describe three different leadership styles and give an example of a situation in which each style could be
most used effectively.
4. Discuss Max Weber's views on organization theory. Is there a few principles that particularly resonate
in business today?
5. How has the emphasis of quality control changed in recent years? Describe some of the modern quality
control techniques that illustrate this change in emphasis.
6. Explain how managers could motivate employees by using the principles outlined in expectancy
theory? Create a story/example of expectancy theory at work, incorporating the three questions that
according to expectancy theory employees will ask.
7. XC – What is selective perception? Can you describe a business-centric scenario where selective
perception may hinder a businessperson’s ability to respond to a customer need?

Bullying can change personalities, psychological wellbeing and even lead to physical injuries. People who have been bullied tend to development long term problems such as depression. Development of stress tends to happen once people have engaged in actions that lead to bullying. This is because the actions against bullying tend to overpower the minds and also brings in psychological problems,.

How to Prevent BullyingTaking immediate action.Dealing with bullies physically.Criminalizing actions against bullying.
In order to deal with bullying effectively, several measures should be enacted to prevent any form of bullying. Measures such as taking immediate action upon any case of bullying would help to deter the action from ever arising again. The other solutions entail taking immediate forms of action would also help to prevent the act from ever occurring. Dealing with bullies physically and also criminalizing actions against bullying helps to prevent it at all costs. Social and emotional learning is a bullying prevention mechanism aimed at ensuring that students do not fall victim to bullying by equipping them with social and emotional skills. This technique is aimed at ensuring that students are equipp ...

BUMP implementation in Java.docxThe project is to implemen.docx
BUMP implementation in Java.docx
The project is to implement the BUMP client in java, with window size 1. Here is an overview of the three WUMP protocols (BUMP, HUMP, and CHUMP). Here are the files wumppkt.java, containing the packet format classes, and wclient.java, which contains an outline of the actual program. Only the latter file should be modified; you should not have to make changes to wumppkt.java.
What you are to do is the following, by modifying and extending the wclient.java outline file:
· Implement the basic transfer
· Add all appropriate packet sanity checks: timeouts, host/port, size, opcode, and block number
· Generate output. The transferred file is to be written to System.out. A status message about every packet (listing size and block number) is to be written to System.err. Do not confuse these!
· Terminate after a packet of size less than 512 is received
· Implement an appropriate "dallying" strategy
· send an ERROR packet if it receives a packet from the wrong port. The appropriate ERRCODE in this case is EBADPORT.
An outline of the program main loop is attached
recommended that you implement this in phases, as follows.
1. Latch on to the new port: save the port number from Data[1], and make sure all ACKs get sent to this port. This will mean that the transfer completes. You should also make sure the client stops when a packet with less than 512 bytes of data is received. Unless you properly record the source port for Data[1], you have no place to which to send ACK[1]!
2. For each data packet received, write the data to System.out. All status messages should go to System.err, so the two data streams are separate if stdout is redirected. To write to System.out, use System.out.write:
System.out.write(byte[] buf, int offset, int length);
For your program, offset will be 0, buf will typically be dpacket.data(), where dpacket is of type DATA (wumppkt.DATA). The length will be dpacket.size() - wumppkt.DHEADERSIZE (or, equivalently, dg.getLength() - wumppkt.DHEADERSIZE, where dg is a DatagramPacket object).
3. Add sanity checks, for (in order) host/port, packet size, opcode, and block number.
4. Handle timeouts, by retransmitting the most recently sent packet when the elapsed time exceeds a certain amount (4 seconds?). One way to do this is to keep a DatagramPacket variable LastSent, which can either be reqDG or ackDG, and just resend LastSent. Note that the response to an InterruptedIOException, a "true" timeout, will simply be to continue the loop again.
5. Add support for an dallying and error packets. After the client has received the file, dallying means to wait 2.0 - 3.0 timeout intervals (or more) to see if the final data packet is retransmitted. If it is, it means that the final ACK was lost. The dally period gives the client an opportunity to resend the final ACK. Error packets are to be sent to any sender of an apparent data packet that comes from the wrong port.

Bulletin Board Submission: 10 Points. Due by Monday at 9:00 a.m.
As you've learned, it is important to be able to determine the elements of a crime and there are several places to turn for assistance in doing so.
First - Look at the statute for the crime. For example, in New York, the statute for Petit Larceny is Penal Law 155.25.
Second - Check to see if any of the terms in the statute are defined in another statute. For example, in New York, Larceny is defined in Penal Law 155.05
Third - If the elements are not clear from the statute, you may want to research case law to see if the courts have established the elements for the crime.
Fourth - Always remember to check the Jury Instructions.
They are an excellent source for identifying the elements, as this is how the court explains the crime to the jury.
Many states are now posting their Jury Instructions on the internet.
Section One –
Keeping the above in mind, please provide the statute under which a Defendant in your state would be charged with Rape (1st Degree if your state breaks it down in that manner) In addition, provide any relevant statutory definitions and an overview of the Jury Instructions. Then, provide cases addressing at least one of the elements of the statute.
Section Two –
Discuss whether or not a woman can be charged with Rape in your state. If not, what could she be charged with?

Final Exam – Essay
65 points
Due: Monday, December 9 at 11:59 p.m. EST (Blackboard submission)
Directions:
Part One (this part) of your final exam is to be just that – yours! I expect you will work independently of your classmates to complete the exam.
As always in BUS 371, your grade will be affected by the quality of your writing – clarity, spelling, grammar, syntax, etc.
1. How has this course changed your view and/or understanding of management and its role in contemporary organizations? In your answer, compare your understanding/perception of management at the beginning of the class with your current understanding/perception. Be specific and honest. (10 points)
2. Would you describe your experience with your class team in BUS 371 as better than most of your experiences with previous class teams, about the same as most of your experiences with previous class teams, or worse than most of your experiences with previous class teams? Be specific and explain what happened with your team for you to form your impression. (10 points)
Depending on your answer to question 2, you will answer EITHER question 3 or question 4.
3. If your experience with your class team was better than most of your experiences with previous class teams, what do you think contributed to the positive experience? From what you’ve learned in BUS 371 this semester, what can you do, as an individual student, in future class (and workplace) teams to contribute to their success? Be specific in your answer. (If your experience with your class team in BUS 371 this semester was about the same or worse than your previous experiences with class teams, skip this question and answer question 4.) Be specific in your answer, referring to course material as appropriate. (10 points)
4. If your experience with your class team was about the same or worse than your experiences with previous class teams, what can you do, as an individual student, in future class (and workplace) teams to increase their success? Be specific in your answer, referring to course material as appropriate. (10 points)
5. What do you consider to be your most important “take aways” from this course? In other words, what concepts and/or ideas have you found most interesting? What elements of the course do think will be most likely to be useful to you when you become a manager?
NOTE: Be sure to include both what you’ve found most interesting and most likely to be useful from the course. (10 points)
6. Define, compare and contrast content, process and reinforcement theories of motivation, giving and explaining an example of each. How could a manager apply each of the theories in the workplace?

Burn with Us Sacrificing Childhood in The Hunger GamesSus.docx
This document provides a summary and analysis of the novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It discusses how the novel depicts the sacrificing of childhood through the Hunger Games, where children are forced to fight to the death for entertainment. It explores themes of childhood, desire, identity formation, and how entering adulthood involves both recognition of culturally defined childhood as well as its loss. A key part of the analysis focuses on how the protagonist Katniss Everdeen develops a sense of self and is able to articulate her identity and desires through her experiences in the Hunger Games arena.
BUS 305 SOLUTIONS TOPRACTICE PROBLEMS EXAM 21) B2) B3.docx
BUS 305: SOLUTIONS TO
PRACTICE PROBLEMS EXAM 2
1) B
2) B
3) No, fan pattern (heteroscedasticity)
4) No, nonlinear relationship between X and Y
5) The black line is the regression line because it get closest to the sample points (minimizes error between the points and the line). The red line has a larger error; that is, larger total distance from points to the line.
6) Because it is reasonable to suppose that costs are dependent on production volume (since units are produced, directly resulting in costs), then regression is more appropriate for this data since regression is appropriate when an cause-and-effect relationship is assumed.
7) C
8) a) r = 0.8;
b) T = 1.31;
c) p = 0.117
d) There is no evidence of a significant correlation between X and Y in the population because we did not reject the null of H0: = 0.
9) Note: the following are not complete answers to Question 11; they are just enough for you to know whether your short answer addressed the correct things.
a) 1 = population slope, b1 = sample slope. On exam, would also want to address what you know (or don’t know) about each of these and how each is found.
b) An outlier can “drag” the regression line toward it. On the exam, also think about how this would affect the quality of your regression model and the predictions.
10) Yes, there appears to be a straight line relationship between the variables. Linear regression appears to be appropriate. The regression output is:
11) a) T = -0.09, p = 0.929, do not reject Ho, conclude there is no evidence of a relationship
b) R2 = 0.002 = 0.2%, No because value is very close to zero
c) Correlation = r = -0.0421. No, there is not a strong relationship between these variables. The correlation is nearly 0.
d) Regression line is Y^ = 1.26 – 0.035X.
Y^ = 1.26 – 0.035(100) = 1.26 – 3.5 = -2.24. No this does not make sense because you cannot have a negative number of near misses. It is not wise to predict with this model. The R-squared value is extremely low (essentially 0%), which means that there is no relationship at all between near misses and flights in this data. Therefore, predicting misses from flights is meaningless.
e) b1 = -0.035. As Number of flights increases by 1, we expect number of near misses to go down by 0.035. Or, put another way, as flights increases by 1000, we expect number of near misses to go down by 35. No, this does not make sense. We would assume that as flights increase, so would near misses.
12) a. Multiple regression is a direct extension of simple regression, except that now we have more than one independent (X) variable.
b. Note: the following is not a complete answer; it is just enough for you to know whether your short answer addressed the correct things: Multicollinearity is when the independent variables are highly correlated with one another. On the exam, also indicate how this affects the model, how one can identify if it is present, and what can be done to correct it.
c. Dummy variables are us ...

Effects of Team building and goal setting on productivity: A field Experiment
The first employee’s interview
Mr. Kay Nguyen is working at Burgerville for over 2 years. He said that working at Burgerville is only temporary while attending school. The hour he works is outside of his school time, so it helps pay for tuition. The work is very busy during high traffic hours, especially at the drive-through during dinnertime. His main responsibility is handling cashier, but he often help others where needed. He starts pay at minimum wages.
His supervisor encourages employees from time to time, but the wage is very low for employee to stay. He explains that turnover at Burgerville is below average compare to other place he has worked before.
Goal Setting:
What did you learn from this job? How does it impact your future? I encounter customers every day, I learn a lot about customer service in person. He dealt with all type of customers. He learned about servicing and created a friendly environment for customers
While studying and working, his self-motivation can encourage his learning and success, whatever be the scenario. He won’t stop staying here as a cashier. He will keep pushing himself to reach his goal setting
What are your obstacles? How do you deal with it? The most frustrate situation he endures during his tenure at Burgerville is the irresponsibility of other employees. They sometime either do not show up for work or call in. This creates a lot of pressure at work, as he has to cover for their shift. He usually has to stay extra hours to clean up and cover for other shifts.
Does BurgerVille create rewards or something to motivate its employee? Does it make you feel happy or comfortable when working there? Mr. Nguyen’s supervisor usually awards his employees with movie tickets for their performances. Also, they are a ...

Bullying in Schools Paper
Bullying is mean spirited and unwanted intimidation by another student. Bullying can come in many different forms but the result is an imbalance of power where one student suffers physical and verbal attacks as well as social exclusion. The bully repeatedly focuses in on their victims and subjects them to continued harassment and false rumors. Bullying causes the victims extreme emotional damage and lifelong pain but occurs most commonly in the school setting. In order to ensure that bullying is prevented the educational system will need to become more proactive and create programs and services designed to educate, reduce, deter and punish bullying.
Types and Extent of Bullying
The three types of bullying experienced by the youthful victim in the school setting consist of verbal and physical assaults as well as social exclusions. The types of verbal threats the victims of bullying suffer are name calling, false gossip, lewd sexual comments, taunts, and threats to cause harm. Physical assaults include hitting, kicking, pushing, tripping, pinching, and spitting on the victim. Social exclusions includes the bully taking steps to isolate the victim from peers by leaving them out of social events or gatherings and talking rudely about them to other peers. Other students will fear the bully and go along with their mean spirited actions. The victim will be isolated and the bully will take steps to embarrass the student in front of other peers. The bully will spread malicious rumors and make rude comments to the victim.
Adolescents are extremely sensitive to rejection and the opinions of peers, both of which can serve as catalysts for revenge (Booth, 2011). The result is the bullying becomes escalated and the victim takes revenge on the bully or physical altercations occur. Bullying is a major problem in society. While bullying occurs most in the school setting there are other places where bullying occurs. Bullies target victims using social networks and will bully them at social events. Victims of bullies are harassed and attacked on school buses and on school playgrounds as well as in the victim’s neighborhood. While bullying can happen anywhere it is most prevalent in schools making it the responsibility of educational systems to take steps to see it stopped.
In 2001 in a report conducted by the Bureau of Juvenile Justice Statistics it was discovered that 20% of all students will be bullied while in high school while the number creeps up to almost 30% when dealing with school children from second to sixth grade (DeVoe, 2009). This comes to one in seven students from kindergarten to twelfth grade being victims of bullying. Over half of the students surveyed have been witness to bullying in the school setting and over 70% find bullying is a real issue in their school as well as the report found girls where far more ...

BILTRITE PRACTICE CASE
Module XV of the Biltrite audit practice case contains an audit report exercise.
This exercise may be completed at this time.
Module XV: Audit Report
The Denise Vaughan audit team completed its audit field work on February 15,
2010. A conference was held on that date involving members of the audit
firm and Biltrite management. Participants in the conference were Denise
Vaughan, partner in charge of the Biltrite engagement; Carolyn Volmar,
audit manager; Richard Derick, in-charge auditor; Trevor Lawton, Biltrite’s
CEO; Gerald Groth, Biltrite’s controller; and Marlene McAfee, Biltrite’s trea-
surer. The Biltrite representatives agreed to all of the audit adjustments and
reclassifications proposed by the audit team, and they agreed to reflect them
in the December 31, 2009, financial statements. They also agreed to modify
and/or add footnote disclosures as recommended by the audit team.
At the conclusion of the conference, the audit team obtained a client repre-
sentation letter from Biltrite management and presented management with a
copy of the “significant deficiencies” letter outlining discovered internal control
deficiencies. The original of this letter was sent to Biltrite’s audit committee.
The legal action initiated against Biltrite by Rollfast, a competitor, for
alleged patent infringement, was not yet settled as of February 15. Because the

Question #1
Mike is a homeowner. Jill runs a snowplowing business. Mike asks Jill to provide an estimate for how much she would charge to snowplow Mike’s driveway. After Jill inspects Mike’s driveway, the parties have the following conversation on September 1, 2011:
Jill: “$50 each time I snowplow your driveway.”
Mike: “OK, sounds good. Please do so.”
Jill regularly snowplows Joe’s driveway during the 2011-12 season. In May 2012, Jill sends a bill to Mike for all visits she made in the 2011-12 season, and Mike promptly pays that bill in full without any other communication taking place between Jill and Mike.
• Jill regularly snowplows Mike’s driveway during the 2012-13 season and sends a bill for those visits in March 2013. What are the rights and responsibilities of the parties under contract law?
• Instead, assume that Jill does not come during the first major snowfall in 2012. Does Mike have any contractual rights against JILL? Explain fully.
• Ignore the previous bullets. Instead, assume Mike promptly pays the 2011-12 bill in full without any other communication. On September 1, 2012, Jill raises her prices 20% for all of her customers, and she notifies Mike of this fact. He does not respond. Jill regularly snowplows Mike’s driveway during the 2012-13 season and in March 2013 sends Mike a bill for those visits reflecting her increased prices. What are the right and responsibilities of the parties under contract law.
Question #2:
At the wedding of Tom and Mary, Tom’s father, Frank, told them that he wanted to live with them and to have them care for him for the rest of his life. He said, “If you agree to do this, I will deliver to you, within two years, a deed to my home.” Tom and Mary told Frank they accepted his offer and promised to look after Frank with loving care in Frank’s home. They immediately moved in with him.
Soon after moving into Frank’s home, Tom and Mary used their own money to add a new wing to the house, pay the outstanding property taxes, and pay off an existing mortgage of $25,000.
One year after Tom and Mary moved into the home, Tom reminded Frank of his promise to convey the property to them. Frank became angry, and refused to execute the deed and ordered Tom and Mary to leave the premises.

BUS 1 Mini Exam – Chapters 05 – 10 40 Points S.docx
BUS 1
Mini Exam – Chapters 05 – 10
40 Points
Short Answer – Mind your time
Answer four questions from #1 - #6. Must answer #3 and #6. Answer
the XC question for extra credit. Question point count weighted equally.
It is all about business, so make sure to demonstrate / synthesize the bigger picture of business in each and
every answer.
Like all essays, specifying an exacting target word count is rather problematic. I am thinking each answer
would be about 250 - 300 words each, depending upon writing style. If you tend to be descriptive and whatnot,
that number could be 350 - 450 words.
Sidebar: Gauge your knowledge level in this way. This exam should take about 90 – 120 minutes to complete.
Students taking much longer may want to work with me to assess / discuss ways to help master this material in
a future conference session.
1. Although most new firms start out as sole proprietorships, few large firms are organized this way. Why
is the sole proprietorship such a popular form of ownership for new firms? What features of the sole
proprietorship make it unattractive to growing firms?
2. List and discuss at least three causes of small business failure. Workarounds, fixes, or methods to avoid
failure should be discussed.
3. Describe three different leadership styles and give an example of a situation in which each style could be
most used effectively.
4. Discuss Max Weber's views on organization theory. Is there a few principles that particularly resonate
in business today?
5. How has the emphasis of quality control changed in recent years? Describe some of the modern quality
control techniques that illustrate this change in emphasis.
6. Explain how managers could motivate employees by using the principles outlined in expectancy
theory? Create a story/example of expectancy theory at work, incorporating the three questions that
according to expectancy theory employees will ask.
7. XC – What is selective perception? Can you describe a business-centric scenario where selective
perception may hinder a businessperson’s ability to respond to a customer need?

BUMP implementation in Java.docxThe project is to implemen.docx
BUMP implementation in Java.docx
The project is to implement the BUMP client in java, with window size 1. Here is an overview of the three WUMP protocols (BUMP, HUMP, and CHUMP). Here are the files wumppkt.java, containing the packet format classes, and wclient.java, which contains an outline of the actual program. Only the latter file should be modified; you should not have to make changes to wumppkt.java.
What you are to do is the following, by modifying and extending the wclient.java outline file:
· Implement the basic transfer
· Add all appropriate packet sanity checks: timeouts, host/port, size, opcode, and block number
· Generate output. The transferred file is to be written to System.out. A status message about every packet (listing size and block number) is to be written to System.err. Do not confuse these!
· Terminate after a packet of size less than 512 is received
· Implement an appropriate "dallying" strategy
· send an ERROR packet if it receives a packet from the wrong port. The appropriate ERRCODE in this case is EBADPORT.
An outline of the program main loop is attached
recommended that you implement this in phases, as follows.
1. Latch on to the new port: save the port number from Data[1], and make sure all ACKs get sent to this port. This will mean that the transfer completes. You should also make sure the client stops when a packet with less than 512 bytes of data is received. Unless you properly record the source port for Data[1], you have no place to which to send ACK[1]!
2. For each data packet received, write the data to System.out. All status messages should go to System.err, so the two data streams are separate if stdout is redirected. To write to System.out, use System.out.write:
System.out.write(byte[] buf, int offset, int length);
For your program, offset will be 0, buf will typically be dpacket.data(), where dpacket is of type DATA (wumppkt.DATA). The length will be dpacket.size() - wumppkt.DHEADERSIZE (or, equivalently, dg.getLength() - wumppkt.DHEADERSIZE, where dg is a DatagramPacket object).
3. Add sanity checks, for (in order) host/port, packet size, opcode, and block number.
4. Handle timeouts, by retransmitting the most recently sent packet when the elapsed time exceeds a certain amount (4 seconds?). One way to do this is to keep a DatagramPacket variable LastSent, which can either be reqDG or ackDG, and just resend LastSent. Note that the response to an InterruptedIOException, a "true" timeout, will simply be to continue the loop again.
5. Add support for an dallying and error packets. After the client has received the file, dallying means to wait 2.0 - 3.0 timeout intervals (or more) to see if the final data packet is retransmitted. If it is, it means that the final ACK was lost. The dally period gives the client an opportunity to resend the final ACK. Error packets are to be sent to any sender of an apparent data packet that comes from the wrong port.

Bulletin Board Submission: 10 Points. Due by Monday at 9:00 a.m.
As you've learned, it is important to be able to determine the elements of a crime and there are several places to turn for assistance in doing so.
First - Look at the statute for the crime. For example, in New York, the statute for Petit Larceny is Penal Law 155.25.
Second - Check to see if any of the terms in the statute are defined in another statute. For example, in New York, Larceny is defined in Penal Law 155.05
Third - If the elements are not clear from the statute, you may want to research case law to see if the courts have established the elements for the crime.
Fourth - Always remember to check the Jury Instructions.
They are an excellent source for identifying the elements, as this is how the court explains the crime to the jury.
Many states are now posting their Jury Instructions on the internet.
Section One –
Keeping the above in mind, please provide the statute under which a Defendant in your state would be charged with Rape (1st Degree if your state breaks it down in that manner) In addition, provide any relevant statutory definitions and an overview of the Jury Instructions. Then, provide cases addressing at least one of the elements of the statute.

Burn with Us Sacrificing Childhood in The Hunger GamesSus.docx
This document provides a summary and analysis of the novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It discusses how the novel depicts the sacrificing of childhood through the Hunger Games, where children are forced to fight to the death for entertainment. It explores themes of childhood, desire, identity formation, and how entering adulthood involves both recognition of culturally defined childhood as well as its loss. A key part of the analysis focuses on how the protagonist Katniss Everdeen develops a sense of self and is able to articulate her identity and desires through her experiences in the Hunger Games arena.
BUS 305 SOLUTIONS TOPRACTICE PROBLEMS EXAM 21) B2) B3.docx
BUS 305: SOLUTIONS TO
PRACTICE PROBLEMS EXAM 2
1) B
2) B
3) No, fan pattern (heteroscedasticity)
4) No, nonlinear relationship between X and Y
5) The black line is the regression line because it get closest to the sample points (minimizes error between the points and the line). The red line has a larger error; that is, larger total distance from points to the line.
6) Because it is reasonable to suppose that costs are dependent on production volume (since units are produced, directly resulting in costs), then regression is more appropriate for this data since regression is appropriate when an cause-and-effect relationship is assumed.
7) C
8) a) r = 0.8;
b) T = 1.31;
c) p = 0.117
d) There is no evidence of a significant correlation between X and Y in the population because we did not reject the null of H0: = 0.
9) Note: the following are not complete answers to Question 11; they are just enough for you to know whether your short answer addressed the correct things.
a) 1 = population slope, b1 = sample slope. On exam, would also want to address what you know (or don’t know) about each of these and how each is found.
b) An outlier can “drag” the regression line toward it. On the exam, also think about how this would affect the quality of your regression model and the predictions.
10) Yes, there appears to be a straight line relationship between the variables. Linear regression appears to be appropriate. The regression output is:
11) a) T = -0.09, p = 0.929, do not reject Ho, conclude there is no evidence of a relationship
b) R2 = 0.002 = 0.2%, No because value is very close to zero
c) Correlation = r = -0.0421. No, there is not a strong relationship between these variables. The correlation is nearly 0.
d) Regression line is Y^ = 1.26 – 0.035X.
Y^ = 1.26 – 0.035(100) = 1.26 – 3.5 = -2.24. No this does not make sense because you cannot have a negative number of near misses. It is not wise to predict with this model. The R-squared value is extremely low (essentially 0%), which means that there is no relationship at all between near misses and flights in this data. Therefore, predicting misses from flights is meaningless.
e) b1 = -0.035. As Number of flights increases by 1, we expect number of near misses to go down by 0.035. Or, put another way, as flights increases by 1000, we expect number of near misses to go down by 35. No, this does not make sense. We would assume that as flights increase, so would near misses.
12) a. Multiple regression is a direct extension of simple regression, except that now we have more than one independent (X) variable.
b. Note: the following is not a complete answer; it is just enough for you to know whether your short answer addressed the correct things: Multicollinearity is when the independent variables are highly correlated with one another. On the exam, also indicate how this affects the model, how one can identify if it is present, and what can be done to correct it.

Effects of Team building and goal setting on productivity: A field Experiment
The first employee’s interview
Mr. Kay Nguyen is working at Burgerville for over 2 years. He said that working at Burgerville is only temporary while attending school. The hour he works is outside of his school time, so it helps pay for tuition. The work is very busy during high traffic hours, especially at the drive-through during dinnertime. His main responsibility is handling cashier, but he often help others where needed. He starts pay at minimum wages.
His supervisor encourages employees from time to time, but the wage is very low for employee to stay. He explains that turnover at Burgerville is below average compare to other place he has worked before.
Goal Setting:
What did you learn from this job? How does it impact your future? I encounter customers every day, I learn a lot about customer service in person. He dealt with all type of customers. He learned about servicing and created a friendly environment for customers
While studying and working, his self-motivation can encourage his learning and success, whatever be the scenario. He won’t stop staying here as a cashier. He will keep pushing himself to reach his goal setting
What are your obstacles? How do you deal with it? The most frustrate situation he endures during his tenure at Burgerville is the irresponsibility of other employees. They sometime either do not show up for work or call in. This creates a lot of pressure at work, as he has to cover for their shift. He usually has to stay extra hours to clean up and cover for other shifts.
Does BurgerVille create rewards or something to motivate its employee? Does it make you feel happy or comfortable when working there? Mr. Nguyen’s supervisor usually awards his employees with movie tickets for their performances. Also, they are a ...

Bullying in Schools Paper
Bullying is mean spirited and unwanted intimidation by another student. Bullying can come in many different forms but the result is an imbalance of power where one student suffers physical and verbal attacks as well as social exclusion. The bully repeatedly focuses in on their victims and subjects them to continued harassment and false rumors. Bullying causes the victims extreme emotional damage and lifelong pain but occurs most commonly in the school setting. In order to ensure that bullying is prevented the educational system will need to become more proactive and create programs and services designed to educate, reduce, deter and punish bullying.
Types and Extent of Bullying
The three types of bullying experienced by the youthful victim in the school setting consist of verbal and physical assaults as well as social exclusions. The types of verbal threats the victims of bullying suffer are name calling, false gossip, lewd sexual comments, taunts, and threats to cause harm. Physical assaults include hitting, kicking, pushing, tripping, pinching, and spitting on the victim. Social exclusions includes the bully taking steps to isolate the victim from peers by leaving them out of social events or gatherings and talking rudely about them to other peers. Other students will fear the bully and go along with their mean spirited actions. The victim will be isolated and the bully will take steps to embarrass the student in front of other peers. The bully will spread malicious rumors and make rude comments to the victim.
Adolescents are extremely sensitive to rejection and the opinions of peers, both of which can serve as catalysts for revenge (Booth, 2011). The result is the bullying becomes escalated and the victim takes revenge on the bully or physical altercations occur. Bullying is a major problem in society. While bullying occurs most in the school setting there are other places where bullying occurs. Bullies target victims using social networks and will bully them at social events. Victims of bullies are harassed and attacked on school buses and on school playgrounds as well as in the victim’s neighborhood. While bullying can happen anywhere it is most prevalent in schools making it the responsibility of educational systems to take steps to see it stopped.
In 2001 in a report conducted by the Bureau of Juvenile Justice Statistics it was discovered that 20% of all students will be bullied while in high school while the number creeps up to almost 30% when dealing with school children from second to sixth grade (DeVoe, 2009). This comes to one in seven students from kindergarten to twelfth grade being victims of bullying. Over half of the students surveyed have been witness to bullying in the school setting and over 70% find bullying is a real issue in their school as well as the report found girls where far more ...

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
