Abstract
The prevalence of mental health problems, some of which seem to be occurring among younger cohorts, leads
researchers and policy-makers to search for practical solutions to reduce the burden of suffering on children and their
families, and the costs to society both immediate and long term. Numerous programs are in place to reduce or alleviate
problem behaviour or disorders and/or assist positive youth development. Evaluated results are dispersed throughout
the literature. To assess findings and determine common elements of effective children’s services, a literature search was
undertaken for evidence-based evaluations of non-clinical programs for school-age children. Prescriptive comments aim
to inform service-providers, policy-makers and families about best pra ...

BACKGROUND: The National Institutes of Health’s Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) initiative aims to understand the
impact of environmental factors on childhood disease. Over 40,000 chemicals are approved for commercial use. The challenge is to prioritize chemi-
cals for biomonitoring that may present health risk concerns.
OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to prioritize chemicals that may elicit child health effects of interest to ECHO but that have not been biomonitored nation-
wide and to identify gaps needing additional research.
METHODS: We searched databases and the literature for chemicals in environmental media and in consumer products that were potentially toxic. We
selected chemicals that were not measured in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. From over 700 chemicals, we chose 155 chemi-
cals and created eight chemical panels. For each chemical, we compiled biomonitoring and toxicity data, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ex-
posure predictions, and annual production usage. We also applied predictive modeling to estimate toxicity. Using these data, we recommended
chemicals either for biomonitoring, to be deferred pending additional data, or as low priority for biomonitoring.
RESULTS: For the 155 chemicals, 97 were measured in food or water, 67 in air or house dust, and 52 in biospecimens. We found in vivo endocrine, de-
velopmental, reproductive, and neurotoxic effects for 61, 74, 47, and 32 chemicals, respectively. Eighty-six had data from high-throughput in vitro
assays. Positive results for endocrine, developmental, neurotoxicity, ...

1a. Discussion—Environment and Public Health: A Direct Link
By
Saturday, February 13, 2016
,
It is globally acknowledged that a link between the environment and public health exists. This topic has grown to be so important that various world organizations hold annual, international meetings for scientists to gather and discuss the latest research findings, breakthroughs, issues, and technology. Some of these organizations are as follows:
World Health Organization (WHO)
The Paris Appeal International Congress
The International Federation of Environmental Health’s Congress
In this assignment, you will gain a better idea of where scientific research is headed by reviewing the published abstracts presented at such meetings.
Begin this assignment by searching the Internet for the most recent gathering of one of the organizations listed above. You may also search for another major organization that is currently focused on global health and the environment.
Once you locate your organization and the meeting (often called a Congress) of interest, find the published program for that meeting. Do note that this may take a few clicks. However, every organization always publishes a list of talks presented at the meeting somewhere on its Web site.
Find a topic that interests you and address the following questions based on this selected example:
Cite the example you have selected and describe it. Include the title of the presentation, the authors, and a synopsis of their research and what they found.
Explain how the example you found relates to the environment and public health—both directly and indirectly.
Identify the geographical areas or countries where you see this particular environmental issue as a threat to public health and support your findings with evidence-based research.
State whether or not you think some countries are more affected by this issue than others. If so, provide at least one example and support this finding with evidence-based research.
Identify the processes that are currently in place that aim to address these issues affecting public health. State whether these processes focus on the environmental issue or the resulting public health issues.
Consider how you would approach the issue if you were given the task to improve or mitigate it—whether it is related to the environment or public health. Briefly describe your short- and long-term improvement or mitigation plans.
Write your initial response in approximately 350 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

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 emphasizes fostering individualism while socialism emphasizes collectivism. A major criticism of capitalism is that it creates an unequal distribution of resources and income within society because of its focus on individualism over collectivism. However, a major criticism of socialism is that it lacks the incentives necessary for greater innovation thus preventing an economy from achieving a level of productivity to adequately support society.
Questions:
A. Why do socialist countries typically have difficulty keeping up with the technological innovations of capitalist countries?
B. Would a society that emphasized a capitalist mode of production benefit by a moral framework that emphasized collectivism (i.e., emphasized greater consideration of others and society)? Why or why not?

A single dose of fluoxetine reduces neural limbic responses to anger in depressed adolescents
Liliana P. Capitão1,2, Robert Chapman1,2, Susannah E. Murphy1,2, Christopher-James Harvey1, Anthony James1,2,
Philip J. Cowen1,2 and Catherine J. Harmer1,2Abstract
Depression in adolescence is frequently characterised by symptoms of irritability. Fluoxetine is the antidepressant with the most favourable benefit:risk ratio profile to treat adolescent depression, but the neural mechanisms underlying antidepressant drugs in the young brain are still poorly understood. Previous studies have characterised the neural effects of long-term fluoxetine treatment in depressed adolescents, but these are limited by concurrent mood changes and a lack of placebo control. There is also recent evidence suggesting that fluoxetine reduces the processing of anger in young healthy volunteers, which is consistent with its effect for the treatment of irritability in this age group, but this remains to be investigated in depressed adolescents. Here we assessed the effects of a single, first dose of 10 mg fluoxetine vs. placebo on neural response to anger cues using fMRI in a sample of adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who had been recently prescribed fluoxetine. As predicted, adolescents receiving fluoxetine showed reduced activity in response to angry facial expressions in the amygdala-hippocampal region relative to placebo. Activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) was also increased. No changes in symptoms were observed. These results demonstrate, for the first time in depressed adolescents, that fluoxetine has immediate neural effects on core components of the cortico-limbic circuitry prior to clinical changes in mood. The effect on anger is consistent with our previous work and could represent a key mechanism through which fluoxetine may act to alleviate irritability symptoms in adolescent depression.

Introduction
Adolescence is a developmental period in which the risk of experiencing psychological disorders increases significantly. Depression is common during this age period, being associated with a high rate of recurrence and significant risk of suicide1,2. Clinically, adolescents with depression display the same symptoms as seen in adulthood, but there are some key differences: depressed youth often exhibit irritability rather than (or in addition to) low mood. This is reflected in the high rates of irritability reported in community and clinical youth samples with depression, varying between 30 and 85%3–5. For this
reason, irritability is included as a cardinal symptom in the diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) among children and adolescents but not adults6. More recently, irritability has also been recognised as a core.

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?

BACKGROUND: The National Institutes of Health’s Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) initiative aims to understand the
impact of environmental factors on childhood disease. Over 40,000 chemicals are approved for commercial use. The challenge is to prioritize chemi-
cals for biomonitoring that may present health risk concerns.
OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to prioritize chemicals that may elicit child health effects of interest to ECHO but that have not been biomonitored nation-
wide and to identify gaps needing additional research.
METHODS: We searched databases and the literature for chemicals in environmental media and in consumer products that were potentially toxic. We
selected chemicals that were not measured in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. From over 700 chemicals, we chose 155 chemi-
cals and created eight chemical panels. For each chemical, we compiled biomonitoring and toxicity data, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ex-
posure predictions, and annual production usage. We also applied predictive modeling to estimate toxicity. Using these data, we recommended
chemicals either for biomonitoring, to be deferred pending additional data, or as low priority for biomonitoring.
RESULTS: For the 155 chemicals, 97 were measured in food or water, 67 in air or house dust, and 52 in biospecimens. We found in vivo endocrine, de-
velopmental, reproductive, and neurotoxic effects for 61, 74, 47, and 32 chemicals, respectively. Eighty-six had data from high-throughput in vitro
assays. Positive results for endocrine, developmental, neurotoxicity, ...

1a. Discussion—Environment and Public Health: A Direct Link
By
Saturday, February 13, 2016
,
It is globally acknowledged that a link between the environment and public health exists. This topic has grown to be so important that various world organizations hold annual, international meetings for scientists to gather and discuss the latest research findings, breakthroughs, issues, and technology. Some of these organizations are as follows:
World Health Organization (WHO)
The Paris Appeal International Congress
The International Federation of Environmental Health’s Congress
In this assignment, you will gain a better idea of where scientific research is headed by reviewing the published abstracts presented at such meetings.
Begin this assignment by searching the Internet for the most recent gathering of one of the organizations listed above. You may also search for another major organization that is currently focused on global health and the environment.
Once you locate your organization and the meeting (often called a Congress) of interest, find the published program for that meeting. Do note that this may take a few clicks. However, every organization always publishes a list of talks presented at the meeting somewhere on its Web site.
Find a topic that interests you and address the following questions based on this selected example:
Cite the example you have selected and describe it. Include the title of the presentation, the authors, and a synopsis of their research and what they found.
Explain how the example you found relates to the environment and public health—both directly and indirectly.
Identify the geographical areas or countries where you see this particular environmental issue as a threat to public health and support your findings with evidence-based research.
State whether or not you think some countries are more affected by this issue than others. If so, provide at least one example and support this finding with evidence-based research.
Identify the processes that are currently in place that aim to address these issues affecting public health. State whether these processes focus on the environmental issue or the resulting public health issues.
Consider how you would approach the issue if you were given the task to improve or mitigate it—whether it is related to the environment or public health. Briefly describe your short- and long-term improvement or mitigation plans.
Write your initial response in approximately 350 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

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.

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.

Capitalism emphasizes fostering individualism while socialism emphas.docx
Capitalism emphasizes fostering individualism while socialism emphasizes collectivism. A major criticism of capitalism is that it creates an unequal distribution of resources and income within society because of its focus on individualism over collectivism. However, a major criticism of socialism is that it lacks the incentives necessary for greater innovation thus preventing an economy from achieving a level of productivity to adequately support society.
Questions:
A. Why do socialist countries typically have difficulty keeping up with the technological innovations of capitalist countries?
B. Would a society that emphasized a capitalist mode of production benefit by a moral framework that emphasized collectivism (i.e., emphasized greater consideration of others and society)? Why or why not?

A single dose of fluoxetine reduces neural limbic responses to anger in depressed adolescents
Liliana P. Capitão1,2, Robert Chapman1,2, Susannah E. Murphy1,2, Christopher-James Harvey1, Anthony James1,2,
Philip J. Cowen1,2 and Catherine J. Harmer1,2Abstract
Depression in adolescence is frequently characterised by symptoms of irritability. Fluoxetine is the antidepressant with the most favourable benefit:risk ratio profile to treat adolescent depression, but the neural mechanisms underlying antidepressant drugs in the young brain are still poorly understood. Previous studies have characterised the neural effects of long-term fluoxetine treatment in depressed adolescents, but these are limited by concurrent mood changes and a lack of placebo control. There is also recent evidence suggesting that fluoxetine reduces the processing of anger in young healthy volunteers, which is consistent with its effect for the treatment of irritability in this age group, but this remains to be investigated in depressed adolescents. Here we assessed the effects of a single, first dose of 10 mg fluoxetine vs. placebo on neural response to anger cues using fMRI in a sample of adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who had been recently prescribed fluoxetine. As predicted, adolescents receiving fluoxetine showed reduced activity in response to angry facial expressions in the amygdala-hippocampal region relative to placebo. Activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) was also increased. No changes in symptoms were observed. These results demonstrate, for the first time in depressed adolescents, that fluoxetine has immediate neural effects on core components of the cortico-limbic circuitry prior to clinical changes in mood. The effect on anger is consistent with our previous work and could represent a key mechanism through which fluoxetine may act to alleviate irritability symptoms in adolescent depression.

Introduction
Adolescence is a developmental period in which the risk of experiencing psychological disorders increases significantly. Depression is common during this age period, being associated with a high rate of recurrence and significant risk of suicide1,2. Clinically, adolescents with depression display the same symptoms as seen in adulthood, but there are some key differences: depressed youth often exhibit irritability rather than (or in addition to) low mood. This is reflected in the high rates of irritability reported in community and clinical youth samples with depression, varying between 30 and 85%3–5. For this
reason, irritability is included as a cardinal symptom in the diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) among children and adolescents but not adults6. More recently, irritability has also been recognised as a core.

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.

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?

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
Cape Town Water Crisis and the Efficient Use of Scarce Water
By: Peter Ferrara
Cape Town Water Crisis Overview
As far back as 1990, water scarcity was talked about in South Africa, with an article in the Cape Times predicting the city would run out of water in 2007
Since then rapid population growth has played a role in the water conversation
From 1995 to 2018 Cape Town’s Population grew 79%
Population not sits at close to 4 million people including the greater metropolitan area
2014: cities water supply is 71.9%
2015: dropped all the way to 50% total capacity
May 2017: water levels reach low of 10% capacity
Water Restriction Timeline
South Africa experienced a once in a century drought from 2015-late 2017
Water restrictions
Jan. 1, 2016- level 2
Nov. 1, 2016- level 3, no use of hoses or sprinklers in residential areas
Jun. 1 2017- level 4, water usage limited to 100L/person/day
Sep. 3, 2017- level 5, water usage limited to 50L/person/day
By Christmas Day 0 was set for April 21 2018
> Day 0 is the day when municiple water supplies would largely be shut off and residents would have to rely on 140 water collection points throughout the city to collect their water ration of 25 L/person/day
> Day 0 was eventually moved back to May, then June, then July and eventually postponed to an undisclosed date in 2019
> while the intense drought has largely finished Cape town in not yet free of water scarcity
Tourism
According to the Tourism Satellite Account for South Africa report, tourism directly contributed to 2.9% of GDP in 2016
This may seem small however, the tourism sector is now a larger GDP driver than Agriculture
Despite pressure from the drought, the tourism sector saw a net gain of 40,000 jobs from 2012 to 2016
Additionally it is hard to fully estimate how much revenue tourism generates because certain actions by tourists are categorized differently in GDP (buses and trains fall under transportation)
Where does Cape Town go from here?
While the drought may be considered over, Cape Town and South Africa in general most take further precautions to prevent a crisis like this happening again
Recognizing that tourism is an essential driver of South Africa’s GDP, Cape Town must include its water usage in any and all water conservation methods moving forward.
Possible solutions
Desalination Centers
Cape Town has already released funding to build 3 emergency desalination plants
More Efficient Dam Drainage Systems
Roughly 10% of their main water supply is unusable because it is too difficult to drain from the dam

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
