Direction Use this forum to address the following prompt: Political gridlock has become the mainstay of congressional operations. A number of factors contribute to this stalemate. America’s predominate two- party system adds to this deadlock with its propensity towards partisan politics. Another dynamic in this instance can be found in the lack of term limits for members of Congress. Many believe that in the absence of such restraints, members of Congress are not motivated to cooperate with their partisan counterparts in the interest of the American public. With this mind, reply to the following question: Should members of Congress be subject to term limits? Why or Why not?

There are a number or reasons for term limits to be instituted to include increasing the number of citizens who participate in governing the people, for the people and by the people. A second reason is to reduce the impact of special interest and lobbyists and decreasing their influence in the execution of the United States government. Finally, term limits will also reduce the amount of corruption in the government. The United States government has many problems but these problems can be reduced with the institution of term limits. The United States government, beginning with the constitution and the founding fathers attempted to escape tyra.

Ama Pros And Cons
The document discusses lobbying by the American Medical Association (AMA). It states that from 2007-2011, the AMA spent around $19 million annually on lobbying to influence legislation. In 2015, the AMA spent $6.72 million on lobbying through 15 lobbyists, but with limited success in swaying votes. Lobbying involves trying to influence political decisions through advocacy but cannot guarantee results.
Congress Case Study
The document provides information on the responsibilities and roles of Congress. It discusses how Congress is made up of two chambers, the House of Representatives and the Senate. Congress has significant powers, including controlling federal spending through the budget appropriations process. As the representative body of the United States, Congress works to serve the interests of constituents while also considering national issues and collective responsibilities.
Interest Groups And Lobbyists
This document discusses interest groups and lobbyists in Texas. It begins by stating that limits cannot be placed on the money companies and groups spend on lobbying because this money comes from voluntary donations, not taxes or the government. It then explains that lobbyists seek face time with legislators to influence them, and that some individuals join interest groups to play a larger role in the political process beyond just voting. The document also touches on how interest groups bring issues to the attention of legislators and apply pressure to advance their views.
Term Limits Essay
This document discusses term limits for members of Congress. It argues that term limits should be implemented to prevent corruption and provide turnover in Congress, as long-term politicians become detached from their constituents over time. However, others believe term limits are unconstitutional and limit voter choice. The Supreme Court ruled in 1995 that states cannot impose term limits on their federal representatives, as this right belongs to voters, not states. The document explores both sides of the debate over congressional term limits.

Recently, the U.S. experienced a government shutdown. Although it was for only a short period of time, the shutdown resulted in consequential disruptions of key services and facility closures, as well the temporary furlough of countless Federal Government employees. The government shutdown was the result of a political impasse in Congress, where the Republican majority did not have sufficient votes in the U.S. Senate to garner the 60 votes required to pass the budget resolution. It passed the House of Representatives with the required votes.
Senate Republicans and Democrats reached a probable compromise related to defense spending, border protection spending and protection for Deferred Action for Child Arrivals (DACA) aliens, with the Republicans focused on the two former and the Democrats focused on the latter. Initially, a bi-partisan Senate agreement was struck, but the President rejected the deal causing the political parties to return to impasse. In this instance, Congress had reached a compromise, but the Executive Branch, specifically the President, chose not to accept the compromise causing the deal to collapse, resulting in the shutdown. Within 72 hours following the shutdown, another compromise was struck to pass a continuing spending resolution to temporarily fund the Federal Government until February 8, 2018, upon which another vote would be required. Partisan politics hard-lines, or hyper-partisanship, significantly reduce paths to compromise and it is the American people who suffer in the end.
Interestingly, however, partisan political positions can reverse over time due to changing circumstances. In 2011 and 2013 during the Obama Administration, Congressional Democrats wanted to raise the U.S. debt ceiling to preclude the national debt from surpassing the limit set by law. When the national debt reaches the debt ceiling, and when expenses exceed revenues, the U.S. Treasury cannot increase its borrowing; it may only fund expense for which there is sufficient available cash. 1 The Republicans, wishing to reduce government spending, and who also held the majority in Congress, opposed increasing the debt ceiling to further their own political agenda to cut government spending. 2 In 2013, Republicans used their vote for the debt ceiling to negotiate entitlement reform impacting the Affordable Care Act 3. President Obama responded by saying that he is not going to “negotiate on jeopardizing the full faith and credit of the United States.”2 The impasse resulted in a lapse in funding and a government shutdown. Ultimately, Republicans succeeded in reducing government spending, but they were unsuccessful in their attempts to cripple the Affordable Care Act. 2
Fast forward to 2018, and the tables are turned. With Republicans in control of both the White House a ...

Voluntary organizations funded by public contributions have existed since the seventeenth century; however, didn’t become a unified sector until the 1970s (Renz, 2016, pg. 7). Because non-profits are diverse and complex it can be difficult to define and make inclusive to one definition. It can refer to charitable tax-exempt organizations, civic organizations that do not allow the deductibility of donations, and unincorporated organizations (Renz, 2016, pg. 3).
The non-profit sector covers a broad spectrum of public services such as hospitals, foundations, charities, religious institutions, and disaster relief organizations. Acknowledging the importance of non-profits is easy as these organizations attempt to address the issues of millions of people whether it be donations, programs, or services. Although tax exempt, government policies play a crucial role in the growing number of nonprofit organizations either indirectly by providing incentives or directly through grants and contracts (Renz, 2016, pg. 17). Non-profits don’t exist to make a profit but to use excess resources to meet needs that the government alone cannot fulfill. These organizations are not prohibited from earning revenue as long as the profit-making activities are related to the recognized program purpose.
The three main sectors private, non-profit, and the government share several similarities and key differences. One of the main differences is how their resources are handled. A non-profit organizations’ money is legally required to support its mission while private entities are able to distribute their resources to shareholders. Government agencies redirect their surplus resources back into government initiatives. Political shifts also highlight additional differences. As the political power changes so do the priorities in governmental agencies and the availability of public sector programs (The role of non-profits vs government and for profit sectors, 2015). Political shifts can garner more support and funding for non-profits but because the organizations secure funding from outside sources, programs can continue indefinitely as long as resources are available without any effect of a political change.
Non-profits are typically restricted with their work inside of the community as long as its business and mission related. Most restrictions imposed on non-profits are administered through state and federal government agencies through tax compliance, incorporation rules, and political participation.

Political Change: Constitutionally End Unlimited Elected Terms Served in Congress
Political Corruption: Repeal Unlimited Elected Terms Served in Congress
In the United States of America Congress members (The US Senate and the House of Representatives) have held position by re-election for many terms. This is not so with the US President whom has a maximum of two four-year terms and cannot be re-elected once the second term is complete. The 22nd Amendment supports the idea of term limits for the US president but is there no consideration for such limitation for congress? According to Politifact.com “Congress has 11 percent approval ratings, yet 96.4 percent of incumbent lawmakers were re-elected in 2014.” percent of congress is re-elected Many members of congress would add that the longer you are in office, the more you are aware of the issues and how to get issues resolved in congress. Conversely, unlimited terms can cause for a stagnant congressional staff that cannot reason well with current issues due to the resistance to change and can lead to different forms of corruption on the congressional floor. Unlimited terms prevent bipartisanship by not allowing qualified candidates of all parties the opportunity to hold an office within the Senate and House of Representatives. Therefore, unlimited term limits are modernly unconstitutional and can breed corruption in Congress.
Term limits in congress (meaning restricting the period to be served in office by an officeholder or rotation in office) in the United States is present at both state and cities/towns, and it can be traced back to the time of the American Revolution (Kim & Hovy, 2004). Those who argue for term limits state that the idea encourages rotation in offices, where new individuals with fresh ideas can assume various roles in offices. However, those who oppose the idea argue that it does not give one enough time to exercise his or her expertise or idea, that is, one’s term comes to an end when he or she is at the peak of the career with knowledge accumulated for a long time. The term limits are evident in the United States Senate, where the members of the United States Senate under the Constitution is required to serve the unlimited time of six-year terms. There has been a debate for a long time now with regards to term limits for congressmen, and many people, such as political experts among others tend to be divided when it comes to this topic of unlimited terms in Congress.
There are people who see value in continuity of the government while there are others who are arguing that there needs to be fresh blood in every “Congress”, and each side arguing for and against this idea of unlim ...

Medical Imagining Through Healthcare
When we come to think of it, choosing a career is by far one of the most difficult decisions an adult can make. For some, that decision is chosen for them, whether it’s a business that’s being passed down or through the influence of others around them. Up until my senior year of high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. That was until I took an anatomy class and a class called Independent Study Mentorship (ISM). In ISM, we were required to find a career of interest and a professional in the field who you would "shadow" once a week for the entire year. I knew I was good at math so the career I chose was accounting. For many reasons, such as finding it quite boring, I quickly realized that this wasn’t the career for me. In my anatomy class, however, I found a passion in the health industry. It was by far the most difficult class I've enrolled in however; it has also been the most exciting class I've ever taken. I remember looking forward to the class, even when studying for exams, as I would challenge myself to get above a 95. Since then, I knew I had found my passion in health. Through several hours of research, the career I am most interested in is Radiology. When I took the Myers Briggs Personality test on the Humanmetrics website (2020), I discovered that my personality type is ENTJ. People with this personality type are known to be driven to turn theories into plans, highly value knowledge, are future-oriented, and usually possess excellent verbal communication skills. People tend to have a lot of anxiety about taking x-rays. I will use my excellent verbal communication skills to put patients at ease about their x-rays. I believe all of my traits make me the perfect candidate for my career choice because they confirm that I am responsible enough to work in the medical field and will be skilled at anticipating the next step. Being organized is very helpful in any career path as well and will only serve to enhance my other qualities. I also believe my last trait of consistency might be the most important; treating everyone with the same level of care is the only way to ensure the best results for everyone who walks through those hospital doors, which ultimately leads to the most lives saved.
Job Responsibilities
A Radiologist is a medical professional who specializes in medical imaging to make a diagnosis. A radiologist main job responsibility is to comprehend and interpret diagnostic imagining which may include; CT scans (Computed tomography), MRI's (Magnetic resonance imaging), and ultrasounds (Career Coach, 2018). The main function of a CT scan is to create a 3-D image through the use of x-rays. An MRI, however, uses magnetic fields to create a more detailed image that show.

Mass Murderers and Serial KillersReview the two case studies out.docx
Mass Murderers and Serial Killers
Review the two case studies outlined below:
Case 1: Mass Murder
Andrea Yates was convicted of drowning her five children and given a sentence of life in prison.
Later, it was found that the sentence of life in prison was based on the inaccurate testimony of a highly respected forensic psychiatrist. Her life sentence was overturned, and she was found guilty by reason of insanity and sent to a mental hospital.
Yates suffered from severe postpartum depression and had been hospitalized for an attempted suicide before she killed her children. Yates was delusional and reported having thoughts that were degrading and persecuting her for her motherhood. She was also having command hallucinations telling her she was a bad mother and her children would grow up to be criminals, so she should save them by drowning them.
Case 2: Serial Killer
In 1980, John Wayne Gacy was found guilty of murdering 33 young men. He picked up some of his victims at a local homosexual bar. Other victims were taken home for "interviews" as prospective employees for his construction business. The remains of 29 victims were found buried under his home while the other four victims had been thrown into the Des Plaines River near Chicago.
Gacy always maintained his innocence throughout the trial and appeals process claiming someone else put the bodies in the crawl space beneath his house. Also known as "The Killer Clown," Gacy used handcuffs and chloroform to subdue his victims, and then he would tie a rope around their necks and slowly twist until he squeezed the life out of them.
Gacy had been married twice and had two children from the first marriage. Both marriages ended in divorce when his wives found items from his victims or were unhappy from a lack of any sexual contact between them. During both marriages and afterwards, Gacy was considered an outstanding member of his community. Gacy was executed on May 10, 1994.
Case 1 (mass murder) and Case 2 (serial murder) can be analyzed and categorized by fitting them into one or more of the theories developed to explain the phenomenon of multiple murder. The theories are developed by experts in the field who study mass and serial murderers.
After reading the two case studies, discuss the following:
What are the similarities and differences between the definitions for serial and mass murder?
What purposes are served by establishing the typologies that apply to a mass murderer? Are they the same purposes that are served by establishing the typology of a serial killer?
Could a serial murderer ever become a mass murderer and vice versa? Why or why not?
Considering the cases described above, which typologies apply to each killer? Explain how you arrived at this conclusion.

Memorandum of Understanding The Norwalk Agreement” .docx
Memorandum of Understanding
“The Norwalk Agreement”
At their joint meeting in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA on September 18, 2002, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) each acknowledged their commitment to the development of high-quality,
compatible accounting standards that could be used for both domestic and cross-border
financial reporting. At that meeting, both the FASB and IASB pledged to use their best
efforts to (a) make their existing financial reporting standards fully compatible as soon as
is practicable and (b) to coordinate their future work programs to ensure that once
achieved, compatibility is maintained.
To achieve compatibility, the FASB and IASB (together, the “Boards”) agree, as a matter
of high priority, to:
a) undertake a short-term project aimed at removing a variety of individual
differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs, which include International Accounting Standards, IASs);
b) remove other differences between IFRSs and U.S. GAAP that will remain at
January 1, 2005, through coordination of their future work programs; that is,
through the mutual undertaking of discrete, substantial projects which both
Boards would address concurrently;
c) continue progress on the joint projects that they are currently undertaking; and,
d) encourage their respective interpretative bodies to coordinate their activities.
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING – FASB and IASB 2
The Boards agree to commit the necessary resources to complete such a major
undertaking.
The Boards agree to quickly commence deliberating differences identified for resolution in
the short-term project with the objective of achieving compatibility by identifying common,
high-quality solutions. Both Boards also agree to use their best efforts to issue an
exposure draft of proposed changes to U.S. GAAP or IFRSs that reflect common
solutions to some, and perhaps all, of the differences identified for inclusion in the short-
term project during 2003.
As part of the process, the IASB will actively consult with and seek the support of other
national standard setters and will present proposals to standard setters with an official
liaison relationship with the IASB, as soon as is practical.
The Boards note that the intended implementation of IASB’s IFRSs in several jurisdictions
on or before January 1, 2005 require that attention be paid to the timing of the effective
dates of new or amended reporting requirements. The Boards’ proposed strategies will be
implemented with that timing in mind.

CVS Health is considering expanding into China. China represents a large potential market due to its population of 1.38 billion people and growing middle class. While expansion could increase CVS's revenue and global presence by diversifying its portfolio, there are also challenges. CVS must understand Chinese culture, consumer demands, and the economic, political, and social differences between the US and China. It should also modify its retail outlets and strategy to better serve Chinese customers. With adequate research and preparation, expansion into China's favorable business environment could strengthen CVS's competitive position globally. However, government policies and cultural differences may also impede its success.
Meeting or Beating Analyst Expectations in thePost-Scandals .docx
This document summarizes a study that investigates changes in the stock market's reaction to companies meeting or beating analyst expectations, and changes in companies' reliance on earnings management and expectations management, following major accounting scandals in the early 2000s. The study finds that the stock market no longer rewards companies for meeting expectations by small amounts, and rewards are smaller for beating by larger amounts. It also finds companies are less likely to rely on earnings management to meet targets, but more likely to manage expectations downward. Overall, meeting expectations has become a stronger signal of future performance since reliance on earnings management has decreased.

MEMO
Date: SEPTEMBER 29, 2022
To: CITY OF COLUMBUS MAYOR ANDREW GINTHER
From:
SUBJECT: MEMO & SWOT ANALYSIS OF THE COLUMBUS, OHIO POLICE DEPARTMENT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The accompanying SWOT analysis was developed to identify levels of trust in the CPD, considering the high crime rate in Columbus, Ohio and the violence often connected to it. The youth and community interactions are highlighted as strengths and opportunities, whereas public distrust and crime are highlighted as weaknesses and threats, respectively. So, my suggestions for the CPD are to use crisis professionals in nonviolent situations (such mental health and homeless crises) and to give diversity in hiring top priority.
BACKGROUND
Crime in Columbus, Ohio, is so high that "more than 96% of the other municipalities [in Ohio] have a lower crime rate," making it one of the most dangerous cities in the country. Given the police's efforts to increase public safety, some may question the force's current standing. CPD's credibility has been damaged since the outbreak began as a result of the officers' fatally shooting of unarmed African Americans and the use of tear gas and rubber bullets on hundreds of protesters during the Black Lives Matter Movement (Wedd,2020). The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an investigation into the CPD because of these misdeeds, looking into their policies, procedures, and any racial prejudices.
SWOT ANALYSIS
After compiling the foregoing information, I developed the SWOT analysis of the CPD in the bellow attached. With the crime rate always on the rise and the public demanding action from law enforcement, one must wonder: do people still have faith in the Columbus Police Department? It is the goal of the SWOT analysis to shed light on the sources of distrust and the means by which trust can be reestablished in those sources. Youth engagement, fundraising prowess, and departmental effectiveness are all areas in which the CPD excels (Wedd,2020). There is a lot of mistrust in the public, and the reputation of executives and the workers are both falling. They have potential in attracting a more diverse workforce and gaining the trust of young people and communities. An increase in violent crime, public discontent, and reluctance on the part of the public to call the police will pose serious challenges for the Columbus Police Department.
RECOMMENDATIONS
First, in situations where police intervention is unnecessary (such as nonviolent mental health crises, suicide threats, and homeless crises), I advocate for the use of trained crisis experts rather than solely police personnel. specially at this time when public faith in law enforcement is low and crime rates are high, deploying police to areas where they are most needed and appreciated can make communities safer overall. In addition, many people think "police officers and police organizations are incapable of repairing themselves" because of policing's racist origins. Additionally, 73% of.

Metabolic acidosis A decrease in serum HCO3 of less than 24 mEqL.docx
Metabolic acidosis: A decrease in serum HCO3 of less than 24 mEq/L and an increase in the hydrogen ion concentration in the systemic circulation (Burger & Schaller, 2022).
Pathophysiology: This occurs when non-carbonic acid concentrations rise, bicarbonate (base) is lost from extracellular fluid, or the kidneys are unable to replenish it. This can happen suddenly, as in the case of lactic acidosis brought on by inadequate circulation or hypoxemia, or more gradually, as in the case of renal failure (failure to excrete acid) or diabetic ketoacidosis (excess production of keto acids from lack of insulin) (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Clinical manifestations: Alteration in the neurologic, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular systems are signs of metabolic acidosis. Initial symptoms of severe acidosis include lethargy and a headache, which can escalate to a coma. Respiratory compensation is indicated by deep, fast breathing (Kussmaul breaths). It's typical to have anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Extreme acidosis may make it harder for the heart to contract normally and result in potentially fatal dysrhythmias (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Evaluation and treatment: Lab results, symptoms, and medical history are used to make the definitive diagnosis of metabolic acidosis. The results of the laboratory tests will reveal arterial blood pH below 7.35 and bicarbonate concentration below 24 mEq/L. A movement to the right can be seen in the oxyhemoglobin curve. For a buffering solution to be used effectively, the underlying issue must be identified. Administration is necessary to raise the pH to a safe level during severe acidosis (pH 7.1), especially if there is renal failure. Deficits in water and sodium must also be made up (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Metabolic alkalosis: An initial rise in serum bicarbonate, which causes a blood pH increase to >7.45 (Tinawi, 2021).
Pathophysiology: Increased bicarbonate concentration, which is often brought on by an excessive loss of metabolic acids. Prolonged vomiting, stomach suctioning, a high intake of bicarbonate, hyperaldosteronism with hypokalemia, and diuretic medication are all conditions that might lead to metabolic alkalosis (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Clinical Manifestations: Volume loss and electrolyte deficits are linked to several common symptoms including weakness, cramping, and overactive reflexes. Some people may have paresthesias, tetany, and seizures. To maximize carbon dioxide retention, respirations are shallow and sluggish. With severe alkalosis, disorientation and seizures happen. A potential issue is atrial tachycardia. As oxyhemoglobin's dissociation decreases and the likelihood of dysrhythmias rises, the oxyhemoglobin curve shifts to the left (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Evaluation and treatment:A sodium chloride solution is necessary for the treatment of contraction alkalosis or hypochloremic alkalosis. As a result, HCO3 may be expelled as NaHCO3 in the urine .
McDonald’s—The Coffee Spill Heard ’Round the WorldThe McDonald’s.docx
McDonald’s—The Coffee Spill Heard ’Round the World
The McDonald’s coffee spill is the most famous consumer lawsuit in the world. Everyone knows about this case, and the details involved in it continue to be debated in many different venues—classrooms, Web sites, blogs, law schools, and business schools. Regardless, it serves as one of the best platforms in the world for discussing what companies owe their consumer stakeholders and what responsibilities consumers have for their own well-being. Consumers, lawyers, and analysts are still debating the world famous coffee spill case.
Keeping the topic hot was the 2011 documentary film,
Hot Coffee
, which analyzed the famous coffee spill, set the facts straight, and highlighted the ongoing debate about the impact of tort reform on the U.S. judicial system. The film premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and aired on HBO during June 2011. The film won many awards.
Stella Liebeck
Stella Liebeck and her grandson, Chris Tiano, drove her son, Jim, to the airport 60 miles away in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on the morning of February 27, 1992. Because she had to leave home early, she and Chris missed having breakfast. Upon dropping Jim off at the airport, they proceeded to a McDonald’s drive-through for breakfast. Stella, an active, 79-year-old, retired department-store clerk, ordered a McBreakfast, and Chris parked the car so she could add cream and sugar to her coffee.
What occurred next was the coffee spill that has been heard ‘round the world. A coffee spill, serious burns, a lawsuit, and an eventual settlement made Stella Liebeck (pronounced Lee-beck) the “poster lady” for the bitter tort reform discussions that have dominated the news for more than 20 years. To this day, the issue is still debated, with cases similar to Stella’s continuing to be filed.
Third-Degree Burns
According to Liebeck’s testimony, she tried to get the coffee lid off. She could not find any flat surface in the car, so she put the cup between her knees and tried to get it off that way. As she tugged at the lid, scalding coffee spilled into her lap. Chris jumped from the car and tried to help her. She pulled at her sweatsuit, but the pants absorbed the coffee and held it close to her skin. She was squirming as the 170-degree coffee burned her groin, inner thigh, and buttocks. Third-degree burns were evident as she reached an emergency room. A vascular surgeon determined she had third-degree (full thickness) burns over 6 percent of her body.
Hospitalization
Following the spill, Liebeck spent eight days in the hospital and about three weeks at home recuperating under the care of her daughter, Nancy Tiano. She was then hospitalized again for skin grafts. Liebeck lost 20 pounds during the ordeal and at times was practically immobilized. Another daughter, Judy Allen, recalled that her mother was in tremendous pain both after the accident and during the skin grafts.
According to a

magazine report, Liebeck wro.

Part B: Master Budget
You have just been hired as a new management trainee by Earrings Unlimited, a distributor of earrings to various retail outlets located in shopping malls across the country. In the past, the company has done very little in the way of budgeting and at certain times of the year has experienced a shortage of cash. Since you are well trained in budgeting, you have decided to prepare a master budget for the upcoming second quarter. To this end, you have worked with accounting and other areas to gather the information assembled below.
The company sells many styles of earrings, but all are sold for the same price—$10 per pair. Actual sales of earrings for the last three months and budgeted sales for the next six months follow (in pairs of earrings):
January (actual)
30,000
June (budget)

April (budget)
70,000
September (budget)
20,000
May (budget)
95,000
Sufficient inventory should be on hand at the end of each month to supply 40% of the earrings sold in the following month.
Suppliers are paid $3 for a pair of earrings. 40% of a month’s purchases is paid for in the month of purchase; the other 60% is paid for in the following month. All sales are on credit. Only 30% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale. An additional 60% is collected in the following month, and the remaining 10% is collected in the second month following sale.

Medical Imagining Through Healthcare
When we come to think of it, choosing a career is by far one of the most difficult decisions an adult can make. For some, that decision is chosen for them, whether it’s a business that’s being passed down or through the influence of others around them. Up until my senior year of high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. That was until I took an anatomy class and a class called Independent Study Mentorship (ISM). In ISM, we were required to find a career of interest and a professional in the field who you would "shadow" once a week for the entire year. I knew I was good at math so the career I chose was accounting. For many reasons, such as finding it quite boring, I quickly realized that this wasn’t the career for me. In my anatomy class, however, I found a passion in the health industry. It was by far the most difficult class I've enrolled in however; it has also been the most exciting class I've ever taken. I remember looking forward to the class, even when studying for exams, as I would challenge myself to get above a 95. Since then, I knew I had found my passion in health. Through several hours of research, the career I am most interested in is Radiology. When I took the Myers Briggs Personality test on the Humanmetrics website (2020), I discovered that my personality type is ENTJ. People with this personality type are known to be driven to turn theories into plans, highly value knowledge, are future-oriented, and usually possess excellent verbal communication skills. People tend to have a lot of anxiety about taking x-rays. I will use my excellent verbal communication skills to put patients at ease about their x-rays. I believe all of my traits make me the perfect candidate for my career choice because they confirm that I am responsible enough to work in the medical field and will be skilled at anticipating the next step. Being organized is very helpful in any career path as well and will only serve to enhance my other qualities. I also believe my last trait of consistency might be the most important; treating everyone with the same level of care is the only way to ensure the best results for everyone who walks through those hospital doors, which ultimately leads to the most lives saved.
Job Responsibilities
A Radiologist is a medical professional who specializes in medical imaging to make a diagnosis. A radiologist main job responsibility is to comprehend and interpret diagnostic imagining which may include; CT scans (Computed tomography), MRI's (Magnetic resonance imaging), and ultrasounds (Career Coach, 2018). The main function of a CT scan is to create a 3-D image through the use of x-rays. An MRI, however, uses magnetic fields to create a more detailed image that show.

Mass Murderers and Serial KillersReview the two case studies out.docx
Mass Murderers and Serial Killers
Review the two case studies outlined below:
Case 1: Mass Murder
Andrea Yates was convicted of drowning her five children and given a sentence of life in prison.
Later, it was found that the sentence of life in prison was based on the inaccurate testimony of a highly respected forensic psychiatrist. Her life sentence was overturned, and she was found guilty by reason of insanity and sent to a mental hospital.
Yates suffered from severe postpartum depression and had been hospitalized for an attempted suicide before she killed her children. Yates was delusional and reported having thoughts that were degrading and persecuting her for her motherhood. She was also having command hallucinations telling her she was a bad mother and her children would grow up to be criminals, so she should save them by drowning them.
Case 2: Serial Killer
In 1980, John Wayne Gacy was found guilty of murdering 33 young men. He picked up some of his victims at a local homosexual bar. Other victims were taken home for "interviews" as prospective employees for his construction business. The remains of 29 victims were found buried under his home while the other four victims had been thrown into the Des Plaines River near Chicago.
Gacy always maintained his innocence throughout the trial and appeals process claiming someone else put the bodies in the crawl space beneath his house. Also known as "The Killer Clown," Gacy used handcuffs and chloroform to subdue his victims, and then he would tie a rope around their necks and slowly twist until he squeezed the life out of them.
Gacy had been married twice and had two children from the first marriage. Both marriages ended in divorce when his wives found items from his victims or were unhappy from a lack of any sexual contact between them. During both marriages and afterwards, Gacy was considered an outstanding member of his community. Gacy was executed on May 10, 1994.
Case 1 (mass murder) and Case 2 (serial murder) can be analyzed and categorized by fitting them into one or more of the theories developed to explain the phenomenon of multiple murder. The theories are developed by experts in the field who study mass and serial murderers.
After reading the two case studies, discuss the following:
What are the similarities and differences between the definitions for serial and mass murder?
What purposes are served by establishing the typologies that apply to a mass murderer? Are they the same purposes that are served by establishing the typology of a serial killer?
Could a serial murderer ever become a mass murderer and vice versa? Why or why not?
Considering the cases described above, which typologies apply to each killer? Explain how you arrived at this conclusion.

Memorandum of Understanding The Norwalk Agreement” .docx
Memorandum of Understanding
“The Norwalk Agreement”
At their joint meeting in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA on September 18, 2002, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) each acknowledged their commitment to the development of high-quality,
compatible accounting standards that could be used for both domestic and cross-border
financial reporting. At that meeting, both the FASB and IASB pledged to use their best
efforts to (a) make their existing financial reporting standards fully compatible as soon as
is practicable and (b) to coordinate their future work programs to ensure that once
achieved, compatibility is maintained.
To achieve compatibility, the FASB and IASB (together, the “Boards”) agree, as a matter
of high priority, to:
a) undertake a short-term project aimed at removing a variety of individual
differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs, which include International Accounting Standards, IASs);
b) remove other differences between IFRSs and U.S. GAAP that will remain at
January 1, 2005, through coordination of their future work programs; that is,
through the mutual undertaking of discrete, substantial projects which both
Boards would address concurrently;
c) continue progress on the joint projects that they are currently undertaking; and,
d) encourage their respective interpretative bodies to coordinate their activities.
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING – FASB and IASB 2
The Boards agree to commit the necessary resources to complete such a major
undertaking.
The Boards agree to quickly commence deliberating differences identified for resolution in
the short-term project with the objective of achieving compatibility by identifying common,
high-quality solutions. Both Boards also agree to use their best efforts to issue an
exposure draft of proposed changes to U.S. GAAP or IFRSs that reflect common
solutions to some, and perhaps all, of the differences identified for inclusion in the short-
term project during 2003.
As part of the process, the IASB will actively consult with and seek the support of other
national standard setters and will present proposals to standard setters with an official
liaison relationship with the IASB, as soon as is practical.
The Boards note that the intended implementation of IASB’s IFRSs in several jurisdictions
on or before January 1, 2005 require that attention be paid to the timing of the effective
dates of new or amended reporting requirements. The Boards’ proposed strategies will be
implemented with that timing in mind.

CVS Health is considering expanding into China. China represents a large potential market due to its population of 1.38 billion people and growing middle class. While expansion could increase CVS's revenue and global presence by diversifying its portfolio, there are also challenges. CVS must understand Chinese culture, consumer demands, and the economic, political, and social differences between the US and China. It should also modify its retail outlets and strategy to better serve Chinese customers. With adequate research and preparation, expansion into China's favorable business environment could strengthen CVS's competitive position globally. However, government policies and cultural differences may also impede its success.
Meeting or Beating Analyst Expectations in thePost-Scandals .docx
This document summarizes a study that investigates changes in the stock market's reaction to companies meeting or beating analyst expectations, and changes in companies' reliance on earnings management and expectations management, following major accounting scandals in the early 2000s. The study finds that the stock market no longer rewards companies for meeting expectations by small amounts, and rewards are smaller for beating by larger amounts. It also finds companies are less likely to rely on earnings management to meet targets, but more likely to manage expectations downward. Overall, meeting expectations has become a stronger signal of future performance since reliance on earnings management has decreased.

MEMO
Date: SEPTEMBER 29, 2022
To: CITY OF COLUMBUS MAYOR ANDREW GINTHER
From:
SUBJECT: MEMO & SWOT ANALYSIS OF THE COLUMBUS, OHIO POLICE DEPARTMENT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The accompanying SWOT analysis was developed to identify levels of trust in the CPD, considering the high crime rate in Columbus, Ohio and the violence often connected to it. The youth and community interactions are highlighted as strengths and opportunities, whereas public distrust and crime are highlighted as weaknesses and threats, respectively. So, my suggestions for the CPD are to use crisis professionals in nonviolent situations (such mental health and homeless crises) and to give diversity in hiring top priority.
BACKGROUND
Crime in Columbus, Ohio, is so high that "more than 96% of the other municipalities [in Ohio] have a lower crime rate," making it one of the most dangerous cities in the country. Given the police's efforts to increase public safety, some may question the force's current standing. CPD's credibility has been damaged since the outbreak began as a result of the officers' fatally shooting of unarmed African Americans and the use of tear gas and rubber bullets on hundreds of protesters during the Black Lives Matter Movement (Wedd,2020). The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an investigation into the CPD because of these misdeeds, looking into their policies, procedures, and any racial prejudices.
SWOT ANALYSIS
After compiling the foregoing information, I developed the SWOT analysis of the CPD in the bellow attached. With the crime rate always on the rise and the public demanding action from law enforcement, one must wonder: do people still have faith in the Columbus Police Department? It is the goal of the SWOT analysis to shed light on the sources of distrust and the means by which trust can be reestablished in those sources. Youth engagement, fundraising prowess, and departmental effectiveness are all areas in which the CPD excels (Wedd,2020). There is a lot of mistrust in the public, and the reputation of executives and the workers are both falling. They have potential in attracting a more diverse workforce and gaining the trust of young people and communities. An increase in violent crime, public discontent, and reluctance on the part of the public to call the police will pose serious challenges for the Columbus Police Department.
RECOMMENDATIONS
First, in situations where police intervention is unnecessary (such as nonviolent mental health crises, suicide threats, and homeless crises), I advocate for the use of trained crisis experts rather than solely police personnel. specially at this time when public faith in law enforcement is low and crime rates are high, deploying police to areas where they are most needed and appreciated can make communities safer overall. In addition, many people think "police officers and police organizations are incapable of repairing themselves" because of policing's racist origins. Additionally, 73% of.

Metabolic acidosis A decrease in serum HCO3 of less than 24 mEqL.docx
Metabolic acidosis: A decrease in serum HCO3 of less than 24 mEq/L and an increase in the hydrogen ion concentration in the systemic circulation (Burger & Schaller, 2022).
Pathophysiology: This occurs when non-carbonic acid concentrations rise, bicarbonate (base) is lost from extracellular fluid, or the kidneys are unable to replenish it. This can happen suddenly, as in the case of lactic acidosis brought on by inadequate circulation or hypoxemia, or more gradually, as in the case of renal failure (failure to excrete acid) or diabetic ketoacidosis (excess production of keto acids from lack of insulin) (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Clinical manifestations: Alteration in the neurologic, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular systems are signs of metabolic acidosis. Initial symptoms of severe acidosis include lethargy and a headache, which can escalate to a coma. Respiratory compensation is indicated by deep, fast breathing (Kussmaul breaths). It's typical to have anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Extreme acidosis may make it harder for the heart to contract normally and result in potentially fatal dysrhythmias (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Evaluation and treatment: Lab results, symptoms, and medical history are used to make the definitive diagnosis of metabolic acidosis. The results of the laboratory tests will reveal arterial blood pH below 7.35 and bicarbonate concentration below 24 mEq/L. A movement to the right can be seen in the oxyhemoglobin curve. For a buffering solution to be used effectively, the underlying issue must be identified. Administration is necessary to raise the pH to a safe level during severe acidosis (pH 7.1), especially if there is renal failure. Deficits in water and sodium must also be made up (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Metabolic alkalosis: An initial rise in serum bicarbonate, which causes a blood pH increase to >7.45 (Tinawi, 2021).
Pathophysiology: Increased bicarbonate concentration, which is often brought on by an excessive loss of metabolic acids. Prolonged vomiting, stomach suctioning, a high intake of bicarbonate, hyperaldosteronism with hypokalemia, and diuretic medication are all conditions that might lead to metabolic alkalosis (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Clinical Manifestations: Volume loss and electrolyte deficits are linked to several common symptoms including weakness, cramping, and overactive reflexes. Some people may have paresthesias, tetany, and seizures. To maximize carbon dioxide retention, respirations are shallow and sluggish. With severe alkalosis, disorientation and seizures happen. A potential issue is atrial tachycardia. As oxyhemoglobin's dissociation decreases and the likelihood of dysrhythmias rises, the oxyhemoglobin curve shifts to the left (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Evaluation and treatment:A sodium chloride solution is necessary for the treatment of contraction alkalosis or hypochloremic alkalosis. As a result, HCO3 may be expelled as NaHCO3 in the urine .
McDonald’s—The Coffee Spill Heard ’Round the WorldThe McDonald’s.docx
McDonald’s—The Coffee Spill Heard ’Round the World
The McDonald’s coffee spill is the most famous consumer lawsuit in the world. Everyone knows about this case, and the details involved in it continue to be debated in many different venues—classrooms, Web sites, blogs, law schools, and business schools. Regardless, it serves as one of the best platforms in the world for discussing what companies owe their consumer stakeholders and what responsibilities consumers have for their own well-being. Consumers, lawyers, and analysts are still debating the world famous coffee spill case.
Keeping the topic hot was the 2011 documentary film,
Hot Coffee
, which analyzed the famous coffee spill, set the facts straight, and highlighted the ongoing debate about the impact of tort reform on the U.S. judicial system. The film premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and aired on HBO during June 2011. The film won many awards.
Stella Liebeck
Stella Liebeck and her grandson, Chris Tiano, drove her son, Jim, to the airport 60 miles away in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on the morning of February 27, 1992. Because she had to leave home early, she and Chris missed having breakfast. Upon dropping Jim off at the airport, they proceeded to a McDonald’s drive-through for breakfast. Stella, an active, 79-year-old, retired department-store clerk, ordered a McBreakfast, and Chris parked the car so she could add cream and sugar to her coffee.
What occurred next was the coffee spill that has been heard ‘round the world. A coffee spill, serious burns, a lawsuit, and an eventual settlement made Stella Liebeck (pronounced Lee-beck) the “poster lady” for the bitter tort reform discussions that have dominated the news for more than 20 years. To this day, the issue is still debated, with cases similar to Stella’s continuing to be filed.
Third-Degree Burns
According to Liebeck’s testimony, she tried to get the coffee lid off. She could not find any flat surface in the car, so she put the cup between her knees and tried to get it off that way. As she tugged at the lid, scalding coffee spilled into her lap. Chris jumped from the car and tried to help her. She pulled at her sweatsuit, but the pants absorbed the coffee and held it close to her skin. She was squirming as the 170-degree coffee burned her groin, inner thigh, and buttocks. Third-degree burns were evident as she reached an emergency room. A vascular surgeon determined she had third-degree (full thickness) burns over 6 percent of her body.
Hospitalization
Following the spill, Liebeck spent eight days in the hospital and about three weeks at home recuperating under the care of her daughter, Nancy Tiano. She was then hospitalized again for skin grafts. Liebeck lost 20 pounds during the ordeal and at times was practically immobilized. Another daughter, Judy Allen, recalled that her mother was in tremendous pain both after the accident and during the skin grafts.
According to a
Newsweek
magazine report, Liebeck wro.

Part B: Master Budget
You have just been hired as a new management trainee by Earrings Unlimited, a distributor of earrings to various retail outlets located in shopping malls across the country. In the past, the company has done very little in the way of budgeting and at certain times of the year has experienced a shortage of cash. Since you are well trained in budgeting, you have decided to prepare a master budget for the upcoming second quarter. To this end, you have worked with accounting and other areas to gather the information assembled below.
The company sells many styles of earrings, but all are sold for the same price—$10 per pair. Actual sales of earrings for the last three months and budgeted sales for the next six months follow (in pairs of earrings):
January (actual)
30,000
June (budget)
45,000
February (actual)
20,000
July (budget)
40,000
March (actual)
50,000
August (budget)
30,000
April (budget)
70,000
September (budget)
20,000
May (budget)
95,000
Sufficient inventory should be on hand at the end of each month to supply 40% of the earrings sold in the following month.
Suppliers are paid $3 for a pair of earrings. 40% of a month’s purchases is paid for in the month of purchase; the other 60% is paid for in the following month. All sales are on credit. Only 30% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale. An additional 60% is collected in the following month, and the remaining 10% is collected in the second month following sale.
Monthly operating expenses for the company are given below:
Variable:
Sales commissions

3,000
Depreciation
$
14,000
Insurance is paid on an annual basis, in November of each year.
At the end of June, the company received $4,000 deposit for July sales. Sales in advance is a liability.
The company plans to purchase $20,000 in new equipment during May and $60,000 in new equipment during June; both purchases will be for cash. The company declares dividends of $15,000 each quarter, payable in the first month of the following quarter.
The company’s balance sheet as of March 31 is given below:

Assignment Type: Individual
Marks: 40%
Release Date: Wednesday, 05-Oct-2022
Due Date: Saturday, 12 November 2022 23:55 (AEDT) – submission link on LMS
“Analyse This!” – Bring your user stories to life with PowerBI
Having successfully completed your analysis of user stories, you have been requested by HOLISTICO
to deliver a prototype dashboard. You will use your experience gained from Week 05 (Think like a
designer) and the Power BI content from Week 8 to Week 12 to develop a visually compelling
dashboard that encompasses user stories completed in Assignment 02.
You will then pitch this dashboard to HOLISTICO’s team to show them the value of the analytics
exercise they have undertaken with you as you uncover insights about their operation and direction.
A sample dataset for this assessment is provided in the spreadsheet (BUS5AP-HOLISTICO-AS03-
Dataset.xlsx) on the LMS under Assignment 03.
Deliverables:
1. Complete the spreadsheet template, with the first column showing a list of user stories from
Assignment 02 and the second column noting if this user story is prototyped in your
dashboard.
2. A 15-minute (exactly 15 minutes) video recording of you presenting your dashboard and how
this dashboard delivers on the user stories presented in Assignment 02.
o You may use additional material such as a slide deck to present your dashboard
(especially when linking the dashboard to the user stories), and you must be visible in
the recording to deliver the pitch.
o The presentation must cover the following:
▪ How your dashboard delivers on the value drops specific in your business case
and the user stories from assignment 02 (both the Summary and Operational
level dashboard) – it is acceptable to make changes to your value drops and
user stories in the event that it doesn’t align with the dashboards.
▪ A walkthrough of each of the elements of the dashboards (and how it delivers
on a selected user story)
o You may use Zoom screen recording feature to capture you dashboard pitch. For a
step-by-step guide to Zoom screen recording, follow this link.
3. A PowerBI file in PBIX format covering the content above. The PowerBI dashboard must
consist at minimum of the following:
o A strategic level dashboard highlighting organisation trends (ideally aligned to the
Clinic Owner).
o An Operational level dashboard that allows personas such as the Clinic Owner
Practitioner and the Practice Managers’ to gain insights into specific patient trends.
o Each of the dashboards will be located on the same PowerBI PBIX file under multiple
tabs. You can have more than 2 tabs but less than 4 tabs.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

America’s predominate two- party system adds to this deadlock with its propensity towards partisan

- 4. (https://canvas.fscj.edu/courses/65283/users/10700) Yesterday 11/11/22, 7:09 PM Page 2 of 5 The United States Congress needs to have term limits. There are a number or reasons for term limits to be instituted to include increasing the number of citizens who participate in governing the people, for the people and by the people. A second reason is to reduce the impact of special interest and lobbyists and decreasing their influence in the execution of the United States government. Finally, term limits will also reduce the amount of corruption in the government. The United States government has many problems but these problems can be reduced with the institution of term limits.
- 5. The United States government, beginning with the constitution and the founding fathers attempted to escape tyranny but creating a government that was operated and executed for the people and by the people. However, the House of Representatives serve a two- year term. The normal election cycle for offices is about the same two-year timeframe. Essentially, as soon as a congressman gets into congress they already have an eye toward re-election. It becomes a continuous cycle and in that political cycle, there is not much room for unknown candidates. Without regard to political party, an incumbent has a distinct advantage whether it is in a primary or general election due to name recognition, already existing fund-raising contacts and a pre- built team of campaigners. By limiting the number of terms they can serve, it would
- 6. decrease the inherent advantages and enable more newcomers to run and serve within the government. Greenberg (n.d.) writes, “Congressional term limits are a necessary corrective to inequalities which inevitably hinder challengers and aid incumbents. Each House Member, for instance, receives nearly a million dollars per year to pay for franked (free) mail, staff salaries, and office and travel expenses. While campaigning, incumbents continue to receive salaries upwards of $130,000 a year, which typically dwarf the income of challengers (who often must resign from their jobs while running for office)” (para 14). 11/11/22, 7:09 PM Page 3 of 5 often must resign from their jobs while running for office)” (para 14). Special interests and lobbyists have a place within our political
- 7. system. However, there is a certain amount of familiarity that goes beyond strictly professional familiarity and crosses into corruption. When a member of congress begins to have extended relationships with these special interests and lobbyists, they become committed to the lobbyists interests and begin to lose sight of their constituents’ interests, which is the reason they were sent to Washington D.C. to begin with. By limiting the exposure of congressmen to the special interest section of the nation’s capital, congress can be more specifically focused on solving our country’s problems without undue influence on them from outside groups. As Greenberg (n.d.) writes on the topic, “Special interests oppose term limits because they do not want to lose their valuable investments in incumbent legislators” (para. 10). These risks are easily
- 8. evident when special interests fight the topic within the government. The combination of the first two elements of the argument for term limits leads to the final reason, corruption. The combination of familiarity and special interests leads to corruption of multiple levels. One of the forms of corruption in the United States Congress includes insider trading and having extended knowledge about the industries they are passing laws on or approving of regulations. Government’s decision can greatly influence stock prices and having early knowledge of what is happening with those companies combined with campaign contributions for those decisions creates a recipe for corruption. Limiting the terms served helps limit the exposure, need for funding for re-election as well as developing those long-term quid pro quo relationships that force
- 9. those in congress to forget about their constituents and focus on the election-to-election processes. The United States Congress needs to have term limits imposed for several reasons. In order to help combat corruption, decrease the influence of oligarchs and special interests and help decrease corruption 11/11/22, 7:09 PM Page 4 of 5 influence of oligarchs and special interests and help decrease corruption are but a few of the benefits of term limits. It would also help expose and provide opportunities for new faces, new ideas and more involvement in our governmental processes. The government in this country faces the same dilemma as any other country. It will take a humble approach to serving in order for them to pass term limits
- 10. into law and will be a hard sell due to the aforementioned traps built for those currently serving. However, in order to create something special, it takes new ideas and new people to move beyond where we are now. References Greenberg, D. (n.d.). Term limits: The only way to clean up Congress.

However, the House of Representatives serve a two-year term. The normal election cycle for offices is about the same two-year timeframe. Essentially, as soon as a congressman gets into congress they already have an eye toward re-election. It becomes a continuous cycle and in that political cycle, there is not much room for unknown candidates. Without regard to political party, an incumbent has a distinct advantage whether it is in a primary or general election

By limiting the number of terms they can serve, it would decrease the inherent advantages and enable more newcomers to run and serve within the government. Greenberg (n.d.) 11/11/22, 7:08 PM Page 1 of 3 writes, “Congressional term limits are a necessary corrective to inequalities which inevitably hinder challengers and aid incumbents. Each House Member, for instance, receives nearly a million dollars per year to pay for franked (free) mail, staff salaries, and office and travel expenses. While campaigning, incumbents continue to receive salaries upwards of $130,000 a year, which typically dwarf the income of challengers (who often must resign from their jobs while running for office)” (para 14). Special interests and lobbyists have a place within our political system. However, there is a certain amount of familiarity that goes beyond strictly professional familiarity and crosses into corruption. When a member of congress begins to have extended

By limiting the exposure of congressmen to the special interest section of the nation’s capital, congress can be more specifically focused on solving our country’s problems without undue influence on them from outside groups. As Greenberg (n.d.) writes on the topic, “Special interests oppose term limits because they do not want to lose their valuable investments in incumbent legislators” (para. 10). These risks are easily evident when special interests fight the topic within the government. The combination of the first two elements of the argument for term limits leads to the final reason, corruption. The combination of familiarity and special interests leads to corruption of multiple levels. One of the forms of corruption in the United States Congress includes insider trading and having extended knowledge about the industries 11/11/22, 7:08 PM Page 2 of 3

Government’s decision can greatly influence stock prices and having early knowledge of what is happening with those companies combined with campaign contributions for those decisions creates a recipe for corruption. Limiting the terms served helps limit the exposure, need for funding for re-election as well as developing those long-term quid pro quo relationships that force those in congress to forget about their constituents and focus on the election-to-election processes. The United States Congress needs to have term limits imposed for several reasons. In order to help combat corruption, decrease the influence of oligarchs and special interests and help decrease corruption are but a few of the benefits of term limits. It would also help expose and provide opportunities for new faces, new ideas and more involvement in our governmental processes. The government in this country faces the same dilemma as any other country. It will take a humble approach to serving in order for them to pass term limits into law and will be a hard sell due to the aforementioned traps built for those currently serving. However, in order to create something special, it takes new ideas and new people to move beyond where we are
