New World encounters of the sixteenth century allowed the English to re-examine their Old World culture with fresh eyes. Many English writers used descriptions of foreign lands as a means of commenting on affairs at home. Inspired by Amerigo Vespucci’s accounts of New World discoveries, Thomas More produces an imaginary travel narrative that claims to be describing the farthest corners of the globe. Utopia, however, reveals new and uncomfortable truths about the English themselves. Write an essay where you show at least three ways that More is critical of his own English society. What do we learn about sixteenth-century England from reading about sixteenth-century Utopia? Provide a detailed response. .

Having not taken a test like this in quite some time, I was anxious to see how the 10 years in a management role may have affected my results.
The assessment showed I have a blend of both Dominant and Inspiring traits. My Dominant traits are probably a little stronger than my Inspiring traits. Some words that describe me are: Directive, Decisive, Driven and Interactive. I am task-oriented, and probably get a great deal done. I probably like problem solving and getting results. I am comfortable interacting with others to make things happen.
These results describe me to a T. In my former role, I managed a group of 12 people who supported the efforts of a National Accounts sales team for a large packaging company. We supported a sales portfolio of almost $2billion and dealt with multiple priorities and deadlines almost daily.
I come from a very small town mid-westerner background (high school graduating class of 98 -- that's people, not the year), so I can communicate with people from all walks of life. I was the only person in the office who knew the cleaning crew by name, yet the CEO knew mine. My dad was an iron worker and my mom a homemaker, but they owned several small businesses when I was growing up, so I guess I get my business sense from being raised in that type of environment.
I'm intrigued by what makes people "tick" and I think that helps me interact with people with other leadership styles. My style is very direct (obviously), but I have had the most success leading and managing people because I treat people how I want to be treated and I don't expect anyone to do anything I wouldn't do.
My leadership style served me well for 10 years after which time the company I worked for was bought by another company. The new company had different business philosophies, which included all employees being in Atlanta, with less experience, working for less money, so my department and I were laid off.
I am employed again, but not in a management role, and I struggle with the management and leaders as their style is quite different from mine and my prior boss. I have never encountered so many people who are miserable at their job, so I'm anxious to see what I can learn from this course.............jane

number 2 reply to this based on the above question
On the test, I received a 1.54, which apparently seemed to be the average for the MBA students. I feel that I am actually quite tolerant to change in my current position as a manager. I have to be open to changes on a daily basis because it is a way of life in the corporate environment. As Yukl states, "Relevant competencies identified in more recent research include emotional intelligence, social intelligence, systems thinking, and the ability to learn and adapt to change" (2006, pg. 209). It's important to be able to handle change with acceptance and grace, and try to stay positive. That is how I stay comfortable with change in as a leader and follower, look at it in a way that is positive and feel that I will only grow and learn from the situation. If there were no changes, life would be boring. :) Each day is a new adventure so try to see everything as a good thing even if it seems a bit scary.

How did the media portray the Vietnam War during the 1970's? How did this affect popular youth culture?
number 4
repy to this based on the above question
The television news industry is a business with a profit motive before it is a public service; consequently, producers and reporters attempt to make the news more entertaining by airing stories that involve conflict, human impact, or morality. Television news did not find material that was dramatic enough until the number of American troops was raised to 175, 000 in July 1965 (Hallin, 1986, p.115). Combat, interviews with American soldiers, and helicopter scenes all provided the television news industry with the drama that it required. The networks set up permanent bureaus in Saigon and sent hundreds of correspondents there throughout the war. From 1965 through the Tet Offensive in 1968, 86 percent of the CBS and NBC nightly news programs covered the war, focusing mostly on ground and air combat (Bonior, Champlin, Kolly, 1984, p.4). This coverage was generally very supportive of U.S involvement in the war and of the soldier himself until 1967. The media labeled the conflict as a "good guys shooting Reds" story so that it could fit into the ongoing saga of the Cold War (Wyatt, 1995, p.81).
In the wake of such death and destruction, it isn’t surprising that peace, love and sexual freedom became the mantra of a new generation. The youth movement challenged authority on all fronts, and authority frequently fought back. As the Sixties unfolded, no institution remained untouched, no belief unchallenged. It was a climatic decade. A dashing young president was shot only two brief years a.

Are you a born leader? If yes, provide examples of how you would prove it. If no, where are you short? Are you more comfortable as a leader or a follower? Why?
number 2
reply to this
I am not a born leader. I fall short to the take charge attitude of dominance. I do not have a dominating presence and I tend to shy away from being the center of attention. I would rather be someone's right hand man. I am the Robin to Batman or the Louis Lane to Superman. However, I strive on being a supportive follower that works hard, has a positive attitude, and is the support system for the leader. I have never sight out a leadership position, but I enjoy doing work that carries great importance and helps out the organization.
The readings this week and last week makes me think about the different aspects of my personality and some of the qualities that are considered leadership. According to our readings, "Leadership is realized in the process of influencing the activities of an organized group toward goal achievement" (Yukl, 2006, P.3). Even though a person is not in a direct leadership position or prefers to stay out of the lime light, they can still influence people by their attitudes, work ethic, and loyalty to the company. It does not take a person to be in a leadership position to show leadership qualities.
In conclusion, I am not a born leader, but I show certain qualities that reflect leadership. I would rather be someone's sidekick and help them guide and influence the organization to success. Dominance is not a strength of mine and because of that I find it hard to take charge and be the boss.

number 4 reply to this
Participative leadership involves efforts by a leader to encourage and facilitate participation by others in making important decisions" (Yukl, 2006, p. 82). I think participative leadership is important because it involves an entire team, and it shows the value of others ideas and creates leadership opportunities. I think this type of leadership is most effective when there has been a steady track record of the leader following through with the thoughts of others. When a leader truly wants what is best for the company, and they can see beyond themselves. Participative leadership can effective as well as ineffective.
An effective example of participative leadership would be an employee owned company or volunteer projects. When a company is employee owned, all employees want what is best and so its important to listen to everyone and the leader to do what is best for the company. Another effective example would be volunteer projects such as .

Although you may not be a formal manager, you have opportunities to be a leader, even for a short time, as part of a team or as an individual.
In your current role how do you consider yourself a leader? What leadership theories best fit you as a leader? Which theories best fit you when you are leading and when you are a follower? Are the theories the same at all times? Why or why not?
number 2
reply to this one based on the above question
Right now I am a stay at home mother, so that is currently my leadership role. I am a leader to my son and because I am a parent, I see myself as being strong and authoritative, when it comes to the “leadership role” of being a mother.
I think the leadership theories that best fit me would be:
Situational
and
Transformational
.
I feel as though one of my greatest strengths is being able to adapt to new situations very easily. I can also adapt how I am, to each individual that I am with to best suit what is needed for them to strive at their respective position.
I also like to lead by example and am confident and optimistic in my decisions. When I have a goal that needs to be set, I stand by it and believe the outcome will come with hard work and the right goal setting.
The theory that best fits me as a follower would probably have to be
The Charismatic Leader
. I would like to have a leader that is going to be sympathetic + understanding to problems that occur in the workforce. Having a leader that is willing to make sacrificies for the best of the company and is confident is also very important.
I don’t believe that all of the Theories are the same. I believe that they all have the same basic approach, which is to lead a team, but the strategies behind each Theory is different.

RE: INVITATION FOR A FEEDBACK ON PERSONAL BEHAVIOUR AND STYLE
I hope you are fine and in good health. I am writing this letter to provoke feedback from you concerning my personal behavioral style. I currently undertook a disc assessment so as to know my behaviors. As you may have heard, the assessment categorizes all individuals into four subsets of behavior.
The four subsets are namely: Dominance, influence, steadiness and conscientiousness.
Accordingly, the results implied that I am a person who places emphasis in accomplishing results. The results dictate that my behaviors are: I consist of seeing a big picture. I am blunt. I accept challenges and I get straight to the point. To make the results more reliable, I am requesting you to kindly let me know the kind of a person that I am. Kindly use the descriptive words that are mainly used to describe individuals in, accordance with the Disc assessment.

nron Corporation was launched in 1985, with the merger of Houston Na.docx
nron Corporation was launched in 1985, with the merger of Houston Natural Gas and InterNorth, a Nebraska company. In 1990, Enron—which was just a natural gas transportation company at the time—started a new division to trade natural gas. The company went from being a “stodgy” gas pipeline company to being a “world-class” company overnight. Enron soon became a $55 billion empire, trading gas, electricity, minerals, water, paper and broadband capacity.
A critical part of Enron’s success was the company’s employee value proposition (EVP). The EVP focused on Enron as a dealmaker and was designed to attract the top talent the company needed to continue to move it forward. The EVP provided employees with the opportunity to do something “big” and to change how business was done in other industries. Jobs were restructured to give employees a lot of elbow room and headroom. Traditional gas pipeline employees were not the employees needed for this new, never-before-tried venture. Internal job movements at Enron were an important part of the EVP. Managers were strongly encouraged to allow employees to move within the company. The goal was to not hold anyone back. When the Global Broadband unit was launched, 100 top performers from around the company were brought together in Houston. By the end of the day, 50 had been recruited for the new project. Overall, the recruiting strategy focusing on internal recruitment paid off. The business continued to grow and attract entrepreneurial employees.
The company that thought it had nowhere to go but up came crashing down in 2001, when it was charged with illegal activities. By 2004, Enron’s corporate officers faced numerous charges of wrongdoing, and the company was a shell of its former self. Managers were charged with manufacturing profits, hiding debt, and bullying Wall Street to buy into its questionable accounting and investment practices. An extensive amount of downsizing had occurred, and many employees had lost all of their retirement savings after Enron’s stock collapsed. Faced with bankruptcy and a sullied reputation, the company struggled to continue but finally made the decision to cease to exist once all litigation concludes.
At one time, Enron’s recruiting efforts were described as a model for other employers. Enron portrayed itself as an exciting company with lots of growth opportunity—a firm in which employees experienced a great deal of autonomy and responsibility.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1.
Enron did a lot of things right from a recruiting standpoint. Discuss its recruiting strategy and why it worked.
2.
Do you think that Enron’s overall recruitment EVP and strategy played any role in the problems that resulted at Enron? If so, what and how?
3.
Discuss why it’s important to create a recruiting message that’s attractive but that doesn’t “oversell” the company.
4.
Assume that in a few years Enron decides to reconstitute itself in some form. Develop a recruiting strategy that the c.

Now that you have your GUI operational, it is time to take the application a step further. Management would like you to write the entered data into a file. They intend to use an application to read this file, evaluate the entered data, and display results. These results will help management to make decisions on sales force direction and expansion. Each time the ENTER button is pressed, the entered sales representative’s data will be written out to a file. A new button, EVALUATE will be added that reads in the sales representative’s data file after it has been created.
Design Requirements:
You must use pseudocode to design your algorithm for the ENTER button functionality.These design artifacts (pseudocode) will be inserted into a design document to be reviewed by your classmates and submitted with the final application for the final task.
Application Requirements:
Expand your Swing application to write the entered data out to a text file. Instead of displaying the data in the jTextArea when ENTER is pressed, change this functionality so that the data is written to a file. Name the output file salesrep.txt. Each time the ENTER button is pressed, the data will be written to the file. Write the data in the following format to a text file, using white spaces as the delimiter. Include the categories (SUPPLIES, BOOKS, PAPER) in your file to label the dollar amount sold for each category. The sales district entered should be converted to upper case (NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST). Independent line separators should be used in the output file. Code for the ENTER button should be well commented.
Format of your file:

In the wake of such death and destruction, it isn’t surprising that peace, love and sexual freedom became the mantra of a new generation. The youth movement challenged authority on all fronts, and authority frequently fought back. As the Sixties unfolded, no institution remained untouched, no belief unchallenged. It was a climatic decade. A dashing young president was shot only two brief years a.

answer this one in a pargraph
Although you may not be a formal manager, you have opportunities to be a leader, even for a short time, as part of a team or as an individual.
In your current role how do you consider yourself a leader? What leadership theories best fit you as a leader? Which theories best fit you when you are leading and when you are a follower? Are the theories the same at all times? Why or why not?
number 2
reply to this one based on the above question
Right now I am a stay at home mother, so that is currently my leadership role. I am a leader to my son and because I am a parent, I see myself as being strong and authoritative, when it comes to the “leadership role” of being a mother.
I think the leadership theories that best fit me would be:
Situational
and
Transformational
.
I feel as though one of my greatest strengths is being able to adapt to new situations very easily. I can also adapt how I am, to each individual that I am with to best suit what is needed for them to strive at their respective position.
I also like to lead by example and am confident and optimistic in my decisions. When I have a goal that needs to be set, I stand by it and believe the outcome will come with hard work and the right goal setting.
The theory that best fits me as a follower would probably have to be
The Charismatic Leader
. I would like to have a leader that is going to be sympathetic + understanding to problems that occur in the workforce. Having a leader that is willing to make sacrificies for the best of the company and is confident is also very important.
I don’t believe that all of the Theories are the same. I believe that they all have the same basic approach, which is to lead a team, but the strategies behind each Theory is different.

Dear Samson Kollock
RE: INVITATION FOR A FEEDBACK ON PERSONAL BEHAVIOUR AND STYLE
I hope you are fine and in good health. I am writing this letter to provoke feedback from you concerning my personal behavioral style. I currently undertook a disc assessment so as to know my behaviors. As you may have heard, the assessment categorizes all individuals into four subsets of behavior.
The four subsets are namely: Dominance, influence, steadiness and conscientiousness.
Accordingly, the results implied that I am a person who places emphasis in accomplishing results. The results dictate that my behaviors are: I consist of seeing a big picture. I am blunt. I accept challenges and I get straight to the point. To make the results more reliable, I am requesting you to kindly let me know the kind of a person that I am. Kindly use the descriptive words that are mainly used to describe individuals in, accordance with the Disc assessment.

nron Corporation was launched in 1985, with the merger of Houston Na.docx
nron Corporation was launched in 1985, with the merger of Houston Natural Gas and InterNorth, a Nebraska company. In 1990, Enron—which was just a natural gas transportation company at the time—started a new division to trade natural gas. The company went from being a “stodgy” gas pipeline company to being a “world-class” company overnight. Enron soon became a $55 billion empire, trading gas, electricity, minerals, water, paper and broadband capacity.
A critical part of Enron’s success was the company’s employee value proposition (EVP). The EVP focused on Enron as a dealmaker and was designed to attract the top talent the company needed to continue to move it forward. The EVP provided employees with the opportunity to do something “big” and to change how business was done in other industries. Jobs were restructured to give employees a lot of elbow room and headroom. Traditional gas pipeline employees were not the employees needed for this new, never-before-tried venture. Internal job movements at Enron were an important part of the EVP. Managers were strongly encouraged to allow employees to move within the company. The goal was to not hold anyone back. When the Global Broadband unit was launched, 100 top performers from around the company were brought together in Houston. By the end of the day, 50 had been recruited for the new project. Overall, the recruiting strategy focusing on internal recruitment paid off. The business continued to grow and attract entrepreneurial employees.
The company that thought it had nowhere to go but up came crashing down in 2001, when it was charged with illegal activities. By 2004, Enron’s corporate officers faced numerous charges of wrongdoing, and the company was a shell of its former self. Managers were charged with manufacturing profits, hiding debt, and bullying Wall Street to buy into its questionable accounting and investment practices. An extensive amount of downsizing had occurred, and many employees had lost all of their retirement savings after Enron’s stock collapsed. Faced with bankruptcy and a sullied reputation, the company struggled to continue but finally made the decision to cease to exist once all litigation concludes.
At one time, Enron’s recruiting efforts were described as a model for other employers. Enron portrayed itself as an exciting company with lots of growth opportunity—a firm in which employees experienced a great deal of autonomy and responsibility.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1.
Enron did a lot of things right from a recruiting standpoint. Discuss its recruiting strategy and why it worked.
2.
Do you think that Enron’s overall recruitment EVP and strategy played any role in the problems that resulted at Enron? If so, what and how?
3.
Discuss why it’s important to create a recruiting message that’s attractive but that doesn’t “oversell” the company.
4.
Assume that in a few years Enron decides to reconstitute itself in some form. Develop a recruiting strategy that the c.

Now that we have decided to become an S Corp after reviewing the various pros and cons, and we have timely filed our S Election on the Form 2553, how do we account for the income? One of the differences between an S Corp and a partnership for example is that allocations of income are made to shareholders on a per-share per-day basis.
Here is an example for us to work through:
The Bridges Corporation, and S Corporation, is owned equally by three shareholders, Carl, David, and Dale. The corporation is on a calendar year basis. (By the way S Corps must use a calendar year end, unlike C Corps which can choose a fiscal year end.) On February 1, 2013, Dale sold his 1/3 interest to Matt. For the year ended December 31, 2013 the corporation had non-separately stated ordinary income of $120,000.
For 2013, how should the income be allocated to the shareholders?

Nothing in science is written in stone.Whenever new discoveries .docx
- Science is constantly evolving as new discoveries challenge existing hypotheses and theories, forcing scientists to revise their understanding. The cell provides a clear example, with early microscopes revealing cells, and later discoveries finding even smaller structures inside cells.
- Plate tectonics and earthquakes are other areas where scientists have repeatedly refined and revised their views to incorporate new data over thousands of years. Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century but it was met with skepticism until further evidence emerged to support it.
- Scientific theories often face skepticism initially but must be proposed to advance understanding, and the scientific method helps evaluate theories through evidence and prevent ideas being dismissed without consideration.

Notes on Hermes I. Hermes and Boundaries A. Hermes’ na.docx
Notes on Hermes
I. Hermes and Boundaries
A. Hermes’ name
1. Greek Hermeias
2. Clearly from herma, cairn (pile of stones that marks a boundary)
3. Makes him god of boundaries
B. Hermes’ various functions
1. All have to do with boundaries in some way
2. A herald (Gr. kerux, which can also be translated “courier” or
“messenger”) crosses boundaries on official business
a) and are unbelievably important in non-literate cultures like
the Archaic Greek culture that gives us almost all of classical
myth, because they would have had to have professional skill at
memorization
b) that skill, in turn, makes them like the bards, which will be
essential understanding the Homeric Hymn to Hermes and also
certain important aspects of the Odyssey
c) and it also gives them a special relation to the truth,
because a herald would have had a really amazing ability to lie
and get away with it
3. The psychopomp (guide of souls) crosses the boundary between
life and death
4. The holder of the kerykeion (later called the caduceus just
through mispronunciation) controls the boundary between sleep and
waking
5. The god of thieves has power over the boundaries around
people’s houses.
II. Hermes the Trickster
A. The figure of the trickster is found in many mythologies: a character
who uses his or her wits to win fame
1. One way to look at the trickster is as a character who controls
and manipulates boundaries: especially the boundary between true and
false
2. On this understanding, Hermes and Odysseus are both tricksters,
because of their travel, their wits, and their lying
B. When Odysseus enters the house of Alkinoos, the Phaiakians are just
pouring the last libation of the day, to Hermes. Why?
1. Because Hermes controls sleep
2. Because Hermes, god of thieves, controls boundaries you want
others to keep away from
3. Because Odysseus is crossing their boundary at this moment!
4. It’s the bard’s way of making the Hermes/Odysseus/trickster
connection
C. Suggested viewing: “The Adventurs of Baron Munchausen” directed
by Terry Gilliam
1. A wonderful version of an 18
th
century story of a trickster, using
movie magic to negotiate the boundaries
III. The Homeric Hymn to Hermes
A. In this hymn, the anonymous bards have created a meditation on the
meaning of the trickster hero, and his relation to kleos, epic glory
1. Hermes has a problem, because he’s been born far from Olympus
2. But as the child of Zeus and Maia, he should be an Olympian
3. He’s a god of tricks, and of the dark, but that’s not what
Olympus is about
4. and Apollo is the best example: Apollo is himself, as the god of
music and of the lyre, the god of kleos
B. The master-stroke is probably having Hermes invent the lyre
1. Which is highly analogous to having Odysseus take over the telling
of his story
2. and shows that some of the bards, at least, recognized that they
were pretty much jus.

Note You may not rely on any fallacy websites. Attempting to use .docx
Note: You may not rely on any fallacy websites. Attempting to use these websites is plagiarizing. If you do it, I will fail you for the entire class and I will report you to the administration for disciplinary action.
Find five examples of fallacies from media sources. Each example is worth up to five points:
Ø
1 point for finding an argument, rather than a report, illustration, explanation, unsupported claim, etc.;
Ø
1 point for identifying the premises and conclusion of the argument, including any IP’s or IC;
Ø
2 points for correctly naming the fallacy—Slippery Slope, Weak Analogy, etc.;
Ø
1 points for correctly explaining why it’s that named fallacy.
Ø
If the argument is fallacious, but not one of our named fallacies, you may apply the counter-example method to the argument, worth 3 points.
Note: Only one fallacy per passage. There may be more than one fallacy in each comment. That’s ok. But don’t use one passage for more than one fallacy. See my last sample below for an illustration of this. And notice that a report of an argument is not itself an argument.
A good place to look for fallacies is in the online comments following newspaper and magazine articles, like the LATimes. Or, in any discussion forum on topics of controversy, political or religious.. I suggest you use Google news to find articles on controversial issues. These types of articles usually generate the most fallacy-filled comments. And you may not use advertisements as fallacy sources.
Here’s what you must do:
1)
Include the passage. Either cut and paste the passage into a word doc, or physically cut the article out and attach it to your assignment.
2)
If needed, supply any unstated but implied premises (IP’s) or conclusion (IC) to complete the argument.
3)
Identify the fallacy by name and briefly explain why it’s the fallacy you say it is; or apply the counter-example method to the argument.
Here’s an example:
From the comments following an article in the LA Times online about the Arizona Illegal Immigrant ID Law:
trevor1331
at 9:13 AM May 02, 2010 (The author was responding to comments by those critical of the Arizona law.)
“If, by the way, folks find America racist and unfair - there is a wonderful and simple solution: Leave.”
False Dilemma:
The author seems to be saying that if one finds America racist and unfair then they should either not criticize America or they should leave. (He doesn’t actually say that they should not criticize America/Arizona. But since he’s responding to those who are criticizing the proposed Arizona law requiring proof of citizenship, there’s reason to say this is implied.) Of course, it follows then that critics have two options: Either leave or shut up—stop criticizing America/Arizona. But that’s a false dilemma. These aren’t the only options. This is a democracy. That means the citizens may speak out against what our government does, or proposes to do. It’s part of participating in.

Course Materials
The following case study features problems and issues related to employment law. The case is fictional yet realistic to illustrate points in the lecture and text and to provide problems within legal cases to solve. This case and Case Study B will be used for a number of weeks.
Important Note: Your weekly class assignments will notify you when to work on this case.
A small corporation, Discrimina, Inc. is a small parts machining shop owned by Hank Discrimina and his daughter, Eunice Discrimina. Discrimina, Inc. makes high quality agricultural parts for some of the agricultural implement manufacturers.
Mr. Discrimina is thinking of retiring and has considered selling out for about $1.2 million. His machine shop has only 15 employees and is appraised at only $600,000.00 including the steel building, grounds, machines, parts, and going business value.
Defense Plants, Inc. has just offered to acquire the entire company for $1 million, and Hank Discrimina is allowing them to check out his company to see why they want to pay so much for a small machine shop. The agreement at this point gives both parties full rights to back out and allows Defense Plants executives to check out the place.
Defense Plants, Inc. has large government contracts and also does work for private individuals. They sell ammunition for military and sporting uses.
Because of their large contracts with the government, Defense Plants, Inc. has a group of people whose sole job is to comply with government regulations. Defense Plants also has an excellent human resources department that has developed a policy for nearly everything likely to come up in the area of employment disputes. The company is non-union. In contrast, Discrimina, Inc. is the alter ego of one man and to a lesser extent, his daughter. The company does not comply with employment laws. Up until recently, Discrimina was regulated mostly by state law, but recent expansions have put them into federal jurisdiction in a number of areas.
During the tour of his plant, Mr. Discrimina asks his visitors from Defense Plants what military purpose his small machine shop could possibly have. Dave from Defense Plants politely declines to answer the question.
A uniformed Navy officer appears the next day and asks Mr. Discr.

Not your typical assignment or format.
I was supposed to see a live concert for this class and now its too late, so I need the paper to sound like I went.
I'm just going to say I went to this concert, which was a few days ago. This is what was played there.
Taneyev: Symphony No. 4, Op. 12, C minor
Tchaikovsky: Romeo and Juliet, Overture -- Fantasy
Tchaikovsky: Capriccio Italien, Op. 45
Prepare to be mesmerized by two spectacular works as the great Pyotr Tchaikovsky dons his sorcerer's cap and casts a melodic spell, each inspired by Italian impressions. The concert begins with the Greenville premiere of the monumental Fourth Symphony by another Russian master -- Sergei Taneyev, beloved pupil and close friend of Tchaikovsky himself.
I waited too long so now I can't see one before the due date.
Attached are the guidelines and two example papers. One is an outline type of paper, the other is a table type of paper.

Now that we have decided to become an S Corp after reviewing the various pros and cons, and we have timely filed our S Election on the Form 2553, how do we account for the income? One of the differences between an S Corp and a partnership for example is that allocations of income are made to shareholders on a per-share per-day basis.
Here is an example for us to work through:
The Bridges Corporation, and S Corporation, is owned equally by three shareholders, Carl, David, and Dale. The corporation is on a calendar year basis. (By the way S Corps must use a calendar year end, unlike C Corps which can choose a fiscal year end.) On February 1, 2013, Dale sold his 1/3 interest to Matt. For the year ended December 31, 2013 the corporation had non-separately stated ordinary income of $120,000.
For 2013, how should the income be allocated to the shareholders?

Nothing in science is written in stone.Whenever new discoveries .docx
- Science is constantly evolving as new discoveries challenge existing hypotheses and theories, forcing scientists to revise their understanding. The cell provides a clear example, with early microscopes revealing cells, and later discoveries finding even smaller structures inside cells.
- Plate tectonics and earthquakes are other areas where scientists have repeatedly refined and revised their views to incorporate new data over thousands of years. Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century but it was met with skepticism until further evidence emerged to support it.
- Scientific theories often face skepticism initially but must be proposed to advance understanding, and the scientific method helps evaluate theories through evidence and prevent ideas being dismissed without consideration.

Respond to the following:
Explain the role that stratification has played in your life.
Examine how different your life would be if you lived in a caste-system instead of a class-system.
Evaluate the role of racial, ethnic, or gender stratification in your day-to-day life.

Notes on Hermes I. Hermes and Boundaries A. Hermes’ na.docx
Notes on Hermes
I. Hermes and Boundaries
A. Hermes’ name
1. Greek Hermeias
2. Clearly from herma, cairn (pile of stones that marks a boundary)
3. Makes him god of boundaries
B. Hermes’ various functions
1. All have to do with boundaries in some way
2. A herald (Gr. kerux, which can also be translated “courier” or
“messenger”) crosses boundaries on official business
a) and are unbelievably important in non-literate cultures like
the Archaic Greek culture that gives us almost all of classical
myth, because they would have had to have professional skill at
memorization
b) that skill, in turn, makes them like the bards, which will be
essential understanding the Homeric Hymn to Hermes and also
certain important aspects of the Odyssey
c) and it also gives them a special relation to the truth,
because a herald would have had a really amazing ability to lie
and get away with it
3. The psychopomp (guide of souls) crosses the boundary between
life and death
4. The holder of the kerykeion (later called the caduceus just
through mispronunciation) controls the boundary between sleep and
waking
5. The god of thieves has power over the boundaries around
people’s houses.
II. Hermes the Trickster
A. The figure of the trickster is found in many mythologies: a character
who uses his or her wits to win fame
1. One way to look at the trickster is as a character who controls
and manipulates boundaries: especially the boundary between true and
false
2. On this understanding, Hermes and Odysseus are both tricksters,
because of their travel, their wits, and their lying
B. When Odysseus enters the house of Alkinoos, the Phaiakians are just
pouring the last libation of the day, to Hermes. Why?
1. Because Hermes controls sleep
2. Because Hermes, god of thieves, controls boundaries you want
others to keep away from
3. Because Odysseus is crossing their boundary at this moment!
4. It’s the bard’s way of making the Hermes/Odysseus/trickster
connection
C. Suggested viewing: “The Adventurs of Baron Munchausen” directed
by Terry Gilliam
1. A wonderful version of an 18
th
century story of a trickster, using
movie magic to negotiate the boundaries
III. The Homeric Hymn to Hermes
A. In this hymn, the anonymous bards have created a meditation on the
meaning of the trickster hero, and his relation to kleos, epic glory
1. Hermes has a problem, because he’s been born far from Olympus
2. But as the child of Zeus and Maia, he should be an Olympian
3. He’s a god of tricks, and of the dark, but that’s not what
Olympus is about
4. and Apollo is the best example: Apollo is himself, as the god of
music and of the lyre, the god of kleos
B. The master-stroke is probably having Hermes invent the lyre
1. Which is highly analogous to having Odysseus take over the telling
of his story
2. and shows that some of the bards, at least, recognized that they
were pretty much jus.

Note You may not rely on any fallacy websites. Attempting to use .docx
Note: You may not rely on any fallacy websites. Attempting to use these websites is plagiarizing. If you do it, I will fail you for the entire class and I will report you to the administration for disciplinary action.
Find five examples of fallacies from media sources. Each example is worth up to five points:
Ø
1 point for finding an argument, rather than a report, illustration, explanation, unsupported claim, etc.;
Ø
1 point for identifying the premises and conclusion of the argument, including any IP’s or IC;
Ø
2 points for correctly naming the fallacy—Slippery Slope, Weak Analogy, etc.;
Ø
1 points for correctly explaining why it’s that named fallacy.
Ø
If the argument is fallacious, but not one of our named fallacies, you may apply the counter-example method to the argument, worth 3 points.
Note: Only one fallacy per passage. There may be more than one fallacy in each comment. That’s ok. But don’t use one passage for more than one fallacy. See my last sample below for an illustration of this. And notice that a report of an argument is not itself an argument.
A good place to look for fallacies is in the online comments following newspaper and magazine articles, like the LATimes. Or, in any discussion forum on topics of controversy, political or religious.. I suggest you use Google news to find articles on controversial issues. These types of articles usually generate the most fallacy-filled comments. And you may not use advertisements as fallacy sources.
Here’s what you must do:
1)
Include the passage. Either cut and paste the passage into a word doc, or physically cut the article out and attach it to your assignment.
2)
If needed, supply any unstated but implied premises (IP’s) or conclusion (IC) to complete the argument.
3)
Identify the fallacy by name and briefly explain why it’s the fallacy you say it is; or apply the counter-example method to the argument.
Here’s an example:
From the comments following an article in the LA Times online about the Arizona Illegal Immigrant ID Law:
trevor1331
at 9:13 AM May 02, 2010 (The author was responding to comments by those critical of the Arizona law.)
“If, by the way, folks find America racist and unfair - there is a wonderful and simple solution: Leave.”
False Dilemma:
The author seems to be saying that if one finds America racist and unfair then they should either not criticize America or they should leave. (He doesn’t actually say that they should not criticize America/Arizona. But since he’s responding to those who are criticizing the proposed Arizona law requiring proof of citizenship, there’s reason to say this is implied.) Of course, it follows then that critics have two options: Either leave or shut up—stop criticizing America/Arizona. But that’s a false dilemma. These aren’t the only options. This is a democracy. That means the citizens may speak out against what our government does, or proposes to do. It’s part of participating in.
Note1. The Topic of research is Roller derbysubcultur.docx

What costs and benefits do these two different employment policies have for a small employer like Discrimina, Inc. in Case Study A of the online course materials?
Address the same question for the larger employer, Defense Plants, Inc., in Case Study B of the online course materials
Below are the case studys to look at and answer the above questions
This is Case Study A
Course Materials
The following case study features problems and issues related to employment law. The case is fictional yet realistic to illustrate points in the lecture and text and to provide problems within legal cases to solve. This case and Case Study B will be used for a number of weeks.
Important Note: Your weekly class assignments will notify you when to work on this case.
A small corporation, Discrimina, Inc. is a small parts machining shop owned by Hank Discrimina and his daughter, Eunice Discrimina. Discrimina, Inc. makes high quality agricultural parts for some of the agricultural implement manufacturers.
Mr. Discrimina is thinking of retiring and has considered selling out for about $1.2 million. His machine shop has only 15 employees and is appraised at only $600,000.00 including the steel building, grounds, machines, parts, and going business value.
Defense Plants, Inc. has just offered to acquire the entire company for $1 million, and Hank Discrimina is allowing them to check out his company to see why they want to pay so much for a small machine shop. The agreement at this point gives both parties full rights to back out and allows Defense Plants executives to check out the place.
Defense Plants, Inc. has large government contracts and also does work for private individuals. They sell ammunition for military and sporting uses.
Because of their large contracts with the government, Defense Plants, Inc. has a group of people whose sole job is to comply with government regulations. Defense Plants also has an excellent human resources department that has developed a policy for nearly everything likely to come up in the area of employment disputes. The company is non-union. In contrast, Discrimina, Inc. is the alter ego of one man and to a lesser extent, his daughter. The company does not comply with employment laws. Up until recently, Discrimina was regulated mostly by state law, but recent expansions have put them into federal jurisdiction in a number of areas.
During the tour of his plant, Mr. Discrimina asks his visitors from Defense Plants what military purpose his small machine shop could possibly have. Dave from Defense Plants politely declines to answer the question.
A uniformed Navy officer appears the next day and asks Mr. Discr.

New World encounters of the sixteenth century allowed the English to.docx
- 1. New World encounters of the sixteenth century allowed the English to re-examine their Old World culture with fresh eyes. Many English writers used descriptions of foreign lands as a means of commenting on affairs at home. Inspired by Amerigo Vespucci’s accounts of New World discoveries, Thomas More produces an imaginary travel narrative that claims to be describing the farthest corners of the globe. Utopia, however, reveals new and uncomfortable truths about the English themselves. Write an essay where you show at least three ways that More is critical of his own English society. What do we learn about sixteenth-century England from reading about sixteenth-century Utopia? Provide a detailed response.
