Please comment for these two separate answers. These two separate are describe what institutional structure, growth determinants and productivity changes are place or not in place in Cuba and its effectiveness from the article “Cuba’s leaders are trapped between the need for change and the fear of it.” 1. Cuba does have a significant amount capital in it\'s social welfare institutions, such as it\'s healthcare system. Because this would be viewed as a government subsidy it would not contribute to Cuba\'s GDP but it certainly frees up some room for individuals to save or invest. Along those same lines, the government does provide a very rigid rule of law in Cuba. The country is actually not particularly known for corruption for monetary reasons. The government\'s lack of fiduciary motivation for it\'s people may be a fatal self-inflicted wound. It\'s prime motive of self preservation prevents any chance for real or speedy change 2. As the article states, lack of investment it Cuba\'s largest economic crux. With the slow moving Cuban government and relations with the U.S. in limbo any sort of investment would be too much of a risk. Cuba could have a tourism boom if travel regulations were lifted. This could spur a massive investment in hotels, resorts, cruise ports, and tours. No doubt, private investment is wait anxiously just as Cuban people are. Generations of Cuban\'s have lacked an entrepreneurial class and are only now rediscovering capitalism. Rick Steves, a local tour guide based in Edmonds, WA recently took a trip to Cuba (before the 2016 election) and noticed a lack of motivation in the workers. A local Cuban guide attributed it an absence of incentive, a worker or even business owner will make the same amount of money regardless of the amount of work accomplished. Solution While it gets ready for the post-Castro phase in February 2018, Cuba has the chance to resurrect its economic reform outline to foster sustainable development & stability . To do this, the nation will have to crop up from its prevailing condition of economic stagnation, excessive dependence on imports, untenably low level of state wages, & continuing brain drain. Scholars are quite certain that peer-to-peer relations between the Cubans &the Americans is an effectual way to expand bilateral relationships for enhanced development in Cuba. Eradicating hurdles to investment is very important. Additional suggestions are:.

The document summarizes industry reactions to Canada's cancellation of its investment visa program in February 2014. It provides perspectives from US attorneys and EB-5 service providers on the potential impacts on the US EB-5 program. Many felt it would increase interest and applications to the US EB-5 program from former Canadian program applicants, especially Chinese investors. However, some noted it could also exacerbate the already long wait times for Chinese nationals due to increased demand. Overall the cancellation was seen as likely increasing attention on and demand for the US EB-5 immigrant investor program.
Cuba Broadening Normalization
The document outlines several products and recommendations to further normalize relations between the United States and Cuba, including altering and lifting the U.S. embargo on Cuba, resolving property claims from the 1959 Cuban revolution, enhancing government cooperation on issues like counter-narcotics and public health, and rethinking U.S. democracy promotion programs to be less antagonistic towards Cuba. It also discusses options for expanding trade and investment opportunities between the two countries as well as increasing cultural exchange and intellectual property cooperation. The overall goal is to continue reducing tensions and obstacles between the U.S. and Cuba to foster closer economic and diplomatic ties.
Road to Recovery
The document discusses the global financial crisis, its causes and impact on various economies including Pakistan. It outlines steps taken by governments and organizations like the US, World Bank, and Pakistan to address the crisis. Suggestions include developing countries becoming less dependent on trade, spending on development rather than military for the US, and global coordination to limit contagion effects. Recovery signs include stabilizing policies by Pakistan's government and projected growth rates for countries like India and China.

This document summarizes and analyzes Cuba's level of economic and political freedom based on various institutional reports. It finds that Cuba has very low economic freedom due to communist rule, with the government controlling most industries and imposing high tariffs. Cuba ranks near last in global economic freedom indices. While the US embargo aims to promote human rights, prolonged isolation may not be the best strategy and increased economic engagement could help Cuba transition to greater freedom over time. Lifting the embargo may boost Cuba's economy and expose its people to democratic ideals.
The $2 trillion Pension Fund Black Hole
It is impossible to stay solvent with increasing liabilities and decreasing assets. State and Municipal governments are faced with a crucial problem; how to pay off public sector pension plans which have been left underfunded for years. Adding insult to
injury, the market values of the portfolios used to fund these pensions plans have been crippled in the Great Recession. Even more troubling, these defined pension plans, by law, are guaranteed for nearly 80% of public officials no matter the performance of the underlying assets used to finance them. Legislatures are faced with few options; raise taxes, cut spending elsewhere or default on their GO debt.

This document provides an abstract and introduction for a research paper about the causes of the Great Recession. The paper will examine the housing and credit bubbles that contributed to the recession and study how improving financial literacy could help prevent future crises. The introduction discusses the motivation for the research and provides background on the bursting of the housing bubble and credit crunch. It analyzes the impacts of deregulation that allowed riskier lending and the merger of banks and insurance companies.

The document discusses Canadian household debt levels, which have risen substantially in recent decades. It finds that while a U.S.-style debt crisis is unlikely, Canadian personal indebtedness has become excessive relative to economic models. Growth in personal debt must slow relative to income growth over the coming years or risks of future deleveraging will increase. Both demand and supply factors have contributed to rising household debt. Demand increased due to lower rates, wealth effects, demographics, and cultural shifts. Supply increased through financial innovation, competition, and relaxed lending rules. International peers also saw rising debt, though the U.S. and U.K. experienced housing bubbles and deleveraging.

According to an April 6 article on CNBC.com, Spain is slated to become the
first country in Europe to introduce a universal basic income (UBI) on a long-
term basis. Spain’s Minister for Economic Affairs has announced plans to roll
out a UBI “as soon as possible,” with the goal of providing a nationwide
basic wage that supports citizens “forever.” Guy Standing, a research
professor at the University of London, told CNBC that there was no prospect
of a global economic revival without a universal basic income. “It’s almost a
no-brainer,” he said. “We are going to have some sort of basic income system
sooner or later ….”
“Where will the government find the money?” is no longer a valid objection
to providing an economic safety net for the people. The government can find
the money in the same place it just found more than $5 trillion for Wall Street
and Corporate America: the central bank can print it. In an April 9 post
commenting on the $1.77 trillion handed to Wall Street under the CARES
Act, Wolf Richter observed, “If the Fed had sent that $1.77 Trillion to the 130
million households in the US, each household would have received $13,600.
But no, this was helicopter money exclusively for Wall Street and for asset
holders.”
“Helicopter money” – money simply issued by the central bank and injected
into the economy – could be used in many ways, including building
infrastructure, capitalizing a national infrastructure and development bank,
providing free state university tuition, or funding Medicare, social security, or
a universal basic income. In the current crisis, in which a government-
mandated shutdown has left households more vulnerable than at any time
since the Great Depression, a UBI seems the most direct and efficient way to
get money to everyone who needs it. But critics argue that it will just trigger
inflation and collapse the dollar. As gold proponent Mike Maloney
complained on an April 16 podcast:
Typing extra digits into computers does not make us wealthy. If this insane
theory of printing money for almost everyone on a permanent basis takes

Abstract
Purpose – The Caribbean Island of Cuba, only 90 miles from the US mainland, has remained one of
the world’s few examples of a centralized communist economy since Fidel Castro overthrew the
government in 1959. The country has declined in recent years, most significantly since the fall of
Cuba’s key trading partner and ally, the former Soviet Union. Recently, under the direction of Fidel’s
brother, Raúl Castro, the island appears to be slowly loosening some restrictions and promoting new
venture creation by allowing more private enterprises and forcing laid-off state employees to consider
entrepreneurship. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether entrepreneurship will be the
answer to improving Cuba’s economy.
Design/methodology/approach – Using Graham’s framework of conditions necessary for
encouraging entrepreneurship, Cuba is examined with actual observations by the authors after a
July 2010 State Department-sanctioned research trip to observe entrepreneurship within the
centralized economy.
Findings – Further enhancements to encourage new venture creation in Cuba are identified, along
with areas for future research on new venture creation.
Originality/value – The value of this research lies in the fact that there are many paths to create an
entrepreneurial economy in an emerging market. Cuba represents a nascent entrepreneurial economy
with many barriers to overcome based upon its legacy of communism. The country and market has
seldom been examined and there is a dearth of literature on Cuba and other countries trying to move
immediately from communism to capitalism when their economy is in crisis.

Introduction
Cuba’s economy has had many challenges since Fidel Castro’s rise to power in 1959. The
US embargo from the 1960s restricted all trade with Cuba and restricted American travel
to Cuba, further limiting tourism and Cuba’s access to hard currencies (US Department
of State, 1992). The former Soviet Union then assumed responsibilities for keeping the
Cuban economy afloat. With the former Soviet Union as a dependable trading partner,
Cuba had stability with a consistent partner who provided a number of key goods. The
Soviets too had a vested interest in seeing the Cuban Communism model succeed. With
the collapse of the former Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the situation changed. The
Cuban national income contracted by one-third and food shortages and further rationing
was commonplace. This caused Cuba’s trading partners to shift toward

Macroresearch
The document discusses how the US economic growth of the last decade was fueled by consumer spending and easy credit access, but these conditions have now changed in ways that make a return to "normal" unlikely. It argues that earnings growth, asset prices, and GDP in the future cannot rely on the same factors as the past 20 years, namely generous consumer credit, home equity withdrawals, and widespread lending. Going forward, consumer deleveraging, tighter credit conditions, and reduced demand will hamper earnings and the economy unless new drivers of growth can be found to replace the credit-fueled spending that drove past prosperity.

The document discusses how the US economic growth of the last decade was fueled by consumer spending and easy credit access, but these conditions have now changed in ways that make a return to "normal" unlikely. It argues that earnings and GDP growth depended on factors like monetary policy, asset inflation, and consumer leverage that are no longer applicable. It questions where future earnings, buying power, and credit will come from to support previous levels of economic activity and asset prices.
Serena Williams ( PDF)
This document discusses the causes of the subprime mortgage crisis in the US and its effects on Caribbean islands. The causes included a boom and bust in the housing market, risky mortgage loans, and loose lending practices. The effects on the Caribbean included impacts on trade, tourism, Caribbean financial institutions, foreign direct investment, and remittances. The document reviews literature on these topics and aims to identify the causes and determine the specific effects on the Caribbean economies and sectors.

Lesperance and Associates - Back up Plan
The document discusses the importance of having a backup plan for high net worth individuals and families to protect their assets during times of uncertainty. It outlines several destabilizing events from recent years that increase risks globally. The coronavirus pandemic in particular has impacted political, economic, social, technological and environmental factors. The document recommends that families develop alternative citizenships, backup residences in other countries, and plans to access backup funds if needed. It provides four rules of success for an effective backup plan: 1) Consider each family's unique situation and goals 2) Make financial and personal sense 3) Select properties after jurisdictions are chosen 4) Seek unbiased professional advice to avoid conflicts of interest.
Migrant Social Security Lapointe 2009
This document summarizes a policy paper about non-access to social security measures like employment insurance for migrant workers in Canada. It begins by noting that while temporary foreign workers make up a large portion of the Canadian workforce, they do not have the same access to social programs as citizens. This can leave them vulnerable if they lose their jobs. The document then outlines some key questions the paper will examine, such as whether lack of access reveals issues with Canada's immigration priorities and temporary foreign worker programs. It concludes that ensuring access to these programs is important for temporary foreign workers and recommends policy options to address the problem.
February 2010 A Very Dangerous Decade
The document summarizes a parable told by Charles Munger about a fictional island nation called Basicland that comes to financial ruin due to widespread casino gambling and unsustainable debt levels. Over time, casino gambling grows to consume 25% of the nation's GDP. When economic shocks hit, Basicland is unable to adjust and falls into crisis as politicians and economists ignore warnings about the dangers of rampant speculation. Basicland serves as a cautionary tale about the risks of excessive gambling and debt.
EY - Consideration for US Investors in Cuba
The easing of the US embargo on Cuba has led to speculation about investment opportunities, but there are still significant challenges. The document discusses areas like telecommunications, travel services, and distressed debt that some investors see as opportunities. However, it cautions that Cuba's infrastructure requires development, legal protections are uncertain, and the embargo remains mostly in place. It advises investors to seek counsel on compliance with the embargo's remaining restrictions to avoid sanctions.
Health and Wellness Report May 2006
This report analyzes opportunities to develop the health and wellness sector in five English-speaking Caribbean countries as a strategy for economic growth. It identifies medical tourism, healthcare education, eldercare, alternative health, and telehealth as promising market segments. A strategic roadmap is proposed to catalyze private sector investment in these areas through public-private partnerships and leadership from multilateral organizations like the IDB. Developing the health and wellness sector could help diversify Caribbean economies and create high-skilled jobs to reduce migration by graduates.
Socialism and its failures - April 2017
This document discusses socialism and why it often fails to achieve results. It defines socialism as a system where the government generates revenue primarily through taxation and funds social programs like education, healthcare, and welfare through tax revenue. However, socialism faces issues like low productivity as people lack motivation, and deterred foreign investment as governments over-intervene in markets. Examples from Cuba show its low human rights ratings and lack of foreign investment. Venezuela's oil industry has also declined sharply with unmaintained rigs as its socialist government has seized foreign businesses like GM's plant. Overall, the document argues socialism struggles because it does not emphasize efficient use of taxpayer funds or operate competitively like the private sector.

The article discusses several topics:
1) It provides an overview of the concierge services that Northland Wealth Management provides to clients, ranging from assistance with large projects like cottage construction to smaller tasks like arranging travel.
2) It introduces Grant Dawes, an associate at Northland who joined after diverse international experience, including working for a Middle Eastern family business.
3) It examines the shadow banking industry, how it provides an alternative to traditional bank lending, and how Northland accesses these types of investments for clients.
Normalization With Cuban Characteristics: How Might Cuba Navigate Normalizati...
Cuba has constructed a tightly woven framework of macro-economic policy and political structures around a unique application of European Marxist-Leninism. That framework has proven durable even in the face of substantial economic crisis and a political situation increasingly subject to internal pressures. Closer working ties with the United States will only exacerbate the tensions and contradictions of the current system. If Cuba means to keep a Marxist-Leninist political structure, something will have to evolve.

The newsletter provides updates from Northland Wealth Management. It discusses the improved outlook for financial markets with reduced political uncertainty in the US. It also summarizes a panel discussion on investment strategies for family offices that will be moderated by Jeff Sproul. Additionally, it mentions Arthur Salzer's participation at a conference on topics related to family enterprises. Lastly, it previews new reporting statements and a secure web portal being developed for clients in the first half of 2014.
Obama Stimulus
Barack Obama's economic stimulus plan aims to inject $120 billion into the economy. It includes providing an immediate $250 tax cut for workers and families, a $250 payment to seniors, additional payments if unemployment rises, assistance for homeowners facing foreclosure, $10 billion in relief for states hardest hit, and expanding unemployment insurance. The goal is to directly help those most in need and increase economic activity while lessening the impact of a potential recession.
The Development of the Reverse Mortgage Market
The document discusses the emerging retirement liquidity crisis facing Baby Boomers in the US and the development of the reverse mortgage market as a solution. It notes that many Boomers are unprepared for retirement due to low savings rates and problems with Social Security funding. Reverse mortgages allow homeowners to use home equity as retirement income. The government played a key role in standardizing regulations and creating an insurance program to encourage the reverse mortgage market to develop, addressing earlier issues around complexity and costs that limited adoption.
An-historic-investment-plan
The document outlines an historic investment plan by the Liberal party to strengthen the middle class, create jobs, and grow the economy through targeted infrastructure spending. It proposes to almost double federal infrastructure investment over 10 years to $125 billion, the largest in Canadian history. The plan aims to boost economic growth, create middle class jobs, and ensure long-term funding predictability for provinces, territories, and municipalities to invest in priority projects like transportation and affordable housing.

Chapter 22. Problem 3BCP0 Bookmark Show all steps: ON Problem Eminent Domain. Some
Catholic organizations proposed to build a private independent middle school in a run-down
neighborhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They asked the Redevelopment Authority of the
City of Philadeliphia to acquire specific land for the project and sell it to them for a nominal
price. The land indluded a house on North Eighth Street owned by Mary Smith, whose daughter
Veronica lived there with her family. The Authority offered Smith $12,000 for the house and
initiated a taking of the property. Smith filed a suit in state court against the Authority, admitting
that the house was a \"substanbard structure in a blighted area,\" but arguing that the taking was
unconstitutional because its beneficiary was private. The Authority asserted that only the public
purpose of the taking should be considered, not the status of the property\'s developer. On what
basis can a government entity use the power of eminent domain to take property? What are the
limits to this power? How should the court rule? Why? (See Limitations on Property Rights.)
Step-by-step solutiorn
Solution
The theory of eminent domain refers to the right of the government to take land for the publc
from the private owners of the land in lieu of the compensation. Governmnet entity can take
private property if they have valid reasons that the acquistion would give chance to the
community to upflit and prosper. As held in Kelo Vs City of New London, the government can
seize private land in blightened community for a private company to develop the land into
commercial area. It was argued that this wll help in making the area and the land in generating
revenue and jobs for the community. The limitation here is that the acquistion should not result
in benifit to the particular religion or the particular person. It should benifit comminity as a
whole.
Here, the court shall rule in favour of the school as although it will be religious school for the
one religion, but since proper compensation was paid and community as a whole will get
benifitted, they can allow the acquisition of land..

Findings – Further enhancements to encourage new venture creation in Cuba are identified, along
with areas for future research on new venture creation.
Originality/value – The value of this research lies in the fact that there are many paths to create an
entrepreneurial economy in an emerging market. Cuba represents a nascent entrepreneurial economy
with many barriers to overcome based upon its legacy of communism. The country and market has
seldom been examined and there is a dearth of literature on Cuba and other countries trying to move
immediately from communism to capitalism when their economy is in crisis.

Introduction
Cuba’s economy has had many challenges since Fidel Castro’s rise to power in 1959. The
US embargo from the 1960s restricted all trade with Cuba and restricted American travel
to Cuba, further limiting tourism and Cuba’s access to hard currencies (US Department
of State, 1992). The former Soviet Union then assumed responsibilities for keeping the
Cuban economy afloat. With the former Soviet Union as a dependable trading partner,
Cuba had stability with a consistent partner who provided a number of key goods. The
Soviets too had a vested interest in seeing the Cuban Communism model succeed. With
the collapse of the former Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the situation changed. The
Cuban national income contracted by one-third and food shortages and further rationing
was commonplace. This caused Cuba’s trading partners to shift toward
The curre.
Macroresearch
The document discusses how the US economic growth of the last decade was fueled by consumer spending and easy credit access, but these conditions have now changed in ways that make a return to "normal" unlikely. It argues that earnings growth, asset prices, and GDP in the future cannot rely on the same factors as the past 20 years, namely generous consumer credit, home equity withdrawals, and widespread lending. Going forward, consumer deleveraging, tighter credit conditions, and reduced demand will hamper earnings and the economy unless new drivers of growth can be found to replace the credit-fueled spending that drove past prosperity.

The document discusses how the US economic growth of the last decade was fueled by consumer spending and easy credit access, but these conditions have now changed in ways that make a return to "normal" unlikely. It argues that earnings and GDP growth depended on factors like monetary policy, asset inflation, and consumer leverage that are no longer applicable. It questions where future earnings, buying power, and credit will come from to support previous levels of economic activity and asset prices.
Serena Williams ( PDF)
This document discusses the causes of the subprime mortgage crisis in the US and its effects on Caribbean islands. The causes included a boom and bust in the housing market, risky mortgage loans, and loose lending practices. The effects on the Caribbean included impacts on trade, tourism, Caribbean financial institutions, foreign direct investment, and remittances. The document reviews literature on these topics and aims to identify the causes and determine the specific effects on the Caribbean economies and sectors.

Lesperance and Associates - Back up Plan
The document discusses the importance of having a backup plan for high net worth individuals and families to protect their assets during times of uncertainty. It outlines several destabilizing events from recent years that increase risks globally. The coronavirus pandemic in particular has impacted political, economic, social, technological and environmental factors. The document recommends that families develop alternative citizenships, backup residences in other countries, and plans to access backup funds if needed. It provides four rules of success for an effective backup plan: 1) Consider each family's unique situation and goals 2) Make financial and personal sense 3) Select properties after jurisdictions are chosen 4) Seek unbiased professional advice to avoid conflicts of interest.
Migrant Social Security Lapointe 2009
This document summarizes a policy paper about non-access to social security measures like employment insurance for migrant workers in Canada. It begins by noting that while temporary foreign workers make up a large portion of the Canadian workforce, they do not have the same access to social programs as citizens. This can leave them vulnerable if they lose their jobs. The document then outlines some key questions the paper will examine, such as whether lack of access reveals issues with Canada's immigration priorities and temporary foreign worker programs. It concludes that ensuring access to these programs is important for temporary foreign workers and recommends policy options to address the problem.
February 2010 A Very Dangerous Decade
The document summarizes a parable told by Charles Munger about a fictional island nation called Basicland that comes to financial ruin due to widespread casino gambling and unsustainable debt levels. Over time, casino gambling grows to consume 25% of the nation's GDP. When economic shocks hit, Basicland is unable to adjust and falls into crisis as politicians and economists ignore warnings about the dangers of rampant speculation. Basicland serves as a cautionary tale about the risks of excessive gambling and debt.
EY - Consideration for US Investors in Cuba
The easing of the US embargo on Cuba has led to speculation about investment opportunities, but there are still significant challenges. The document discusses areas like telecommunications, travel services, and distressed debt that some investors see as opportunities. However, it cautions that Cuba's infrastructure requires development, legal protections are uncertain, and the embargo remains mostly in place. It advises investors to seek counsel on compliance with the embargo's remaining restrictions to avoid sanctions.
Health and Wellness Report May 2006
This report analyzes opportunities to develop the health and wellness sector in five English-speaking Caribbean countries as a strategy for economic growth. It identifies medical tourism, healthcare education, eldercare, alternative health, and telehealth as promising market segments. A strategic roadmap is proposed to catalyze private sector investment in these areas through public-private partnerships and leadership from multilateral organizations like the IDB. Developing the health and wellness sector could help diversify Caribbean economies and create high-skilled jobs to reduce migration by graduates.
Socialism and its failures - April 2017
This document discusses socialism and why it often fails to achieve results. It defines socialism as a system where the government generates revenue primarily through taxation and funds social programs like education, healthcare, and welfare through tax revenue. However, socialism faces issues like low productivity as people lack motivation, and deterred foreign investment as governments over-intervene in markets. Examples from Cuba show its low human rights ratings and lack of foreign investment. Venezuela's oil industry has also declined sharply with unmaintained rigs as its socialist government has seized foreign businesses like GM's plant. Overall, the document argues socialism struggles because it does not emphasize efficient use of taxpayer funds or operate competitively like the private sector.

Normalization With Cuban Characteristics: How Might Cuba Navigate Normalizati...
Cuba has constructed a tightly woven framework of macro-economic policy and political structures around a unique application of European Marxist-Leninism. That framework has proven durable even in the face of substantial economic crisis and a political situation increasingly subject to internal pressures. Closer working ties with the United States will only exacerbate the tensions and contradictions of the current system. If Cuba means to keep a Marxist-Leninist political structure, something will have to evolve.
The Artisan - Winter 2014 Edition
The newsletter provides updates from Northland Wealth Management. It discusses the improved outlook for financial markets with reduced political uncertainty in the US. It also summarizes a panel discussion on investment strategies for family offices that will be moderated by Jeff Sproul. Additionally, it mentions Arthur Salzer's participation at a conference on topics related to family enterprises. Lastly, it previews new reporting statements and a secure web portal being developed for clients in the first half of 2014.
Obama Stimulus
Barack Obama's economic stimulus plan aims to inject $120 billion into the economy. It includes providing an immediate $250 tax cut for workers and families, a $250 payment to seniors, additional payments if unemployment rises, assistance for homeowners facing foreclosure, $10 billion in relief for states hardest hit, and expanding unemployment insurance. The goal is to directly help those most in need and increase economic activity while lessening the impact of a potential recession.
The Development of the Reverse Mortgage Market
The document discusses the emerging retirement liquidity crisis facing Baby Boomers in the US and the development of the reverse mortgage market as a solution. It notes that many Boomers are unprepared for retirement due to low savings rates and problems with Social Security funding. Reverse mortgages allow homeowners to use home equity as retirement income. The government played a key role in standardizing regulations and creating an insurance program to encourage the reverse mortgage market to develop, addressing earlier issues around complexity and costs that limited adoption.
An-historic-investment-plan
The document outlines an historic investment plan by the Liberal party to strengthen the middle class, create jobs, and grow the economy through targeted infrastructure spending. It proposes to almost double federal infrastructure investment over 10 years to $125 billion, the largest in Canadian history. The plan aims to boost economic growth, create middle class jobs, and ensure long-term funding predictability for provinces, territories, and municipalities to invest in priority projects like transportation and affordable housing.

Chapter 22. Problem 3BCP0 Bookmark Show all steps: ON Problem Eminent Domain. Some
Catholic organizations proposed to build a private independent middle school in a run-down
neighborhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They asked the Redevelopment Authority of the
City of Philadeliphia to acquire specific land for the project and sell it to them for a nominal
price. The land indluded a house on North Eighth Street owned by Mary Smith, whose daughter
Veronica lived there with her family. The Authority offered Smith $12,000 for the house and
initiated a taking of the property. Smith filed a suit in state court against the Authority, admitting
that the house was a \"substanbard structure in a blighted area,\" but arguing that the taking was
unconstitutional because its beneficiary was private. The Authority asserted that only the public
purpose of the taking should be considered, not the status of the property\'s developer. On what
basis can a government entity use the power of eminent domain to take property? What are the
limits to this power? How should the court rule? Why? (See Limitations on Property Rights.)
Step-by-step solutiorn
Solution
The theory of eminent domain refers to the right of the government to take land for the publc
from the private owners of the land in lieu of the compensation. Governmnet entity can take
private property if they have valid reasons that the acquistion would give chance to the
community to upflit and prosper. As held in Kelo Vs City of New London, the government can
seize private land in blightened community for a private company to develop the land into
commercial area. It was argued that this wll help in making the area and the land in generating
revenue and jobs for the community. The limitation here is that the acquistion should not result
in benifit to the particular religion or the particular person. It should benifit comminity as a
whole.
Here, the court shall rule in favour of the school as although it will be religious school for the
one religion, but since proper compensation was paid and community as a whole will get
benifitted, they can allow the acquisition of land..

You’re helping a group of ethnographers analyze some oral history da.pdf
You’re helping a group of ethnographers analyze some oral history data they’ve collected by
interviewing members of a village to learn about the lives of people who’ve lived there over the
past two hundred years.
From those interviews, they’ve learned about a set of n people (all of them now deceased), whom
we’ll denote P1, P2, . . . , Pn. They’ve also collected facts about when these people lived relative
to one another. Each fact has one of the two following forms:
• Person Pi died before person Pj was born.
• The life spans of Pi and Pj overlapped at least partially. (Here Pi and Pj are two specific people
whom the fact is about.)
Naturally, they’re not sure that all these facts are correct; memories are not so good, and a lot of
this was passed down by word of mouth. So what they’d like you to determine is whether the
data they’ve collected is at least internally consistent, in the sense that there could have existed a
set of people for which all the facts they’ve learned simultaneously hold.
Give an algorithm with polynomial running time to do this: either it should produce proposed
dates of birth and death for each of the n people so that all the facts hold true, or it should report
(correctly) that no such dates can exist – that is, the facts collected by the ethnographers are not
internally consistent.
Solution

Why is attending to the full scope of drivers critical in implementi.pdf
Why is attending to the full scope of drivers critical in implementing EHR?
Solution
Electronic Health Record: it is a detailed statment of health reports of a patient but in electronic
form. It is the digital version of a given patient and covers all the information in digital form. It is
a real time patient cenetered records, which make the information available to the patient
whenver they require and is more secure than traditonal paper records. It comprices the history of
medical treatment of patients, and it must be inclusive of a broder view of a patinet\'s care in
many dimensions.
The need to attend full scope of drivers is, all information must be coverts into digital form of a
patient, the that format must capable of being stored, shared, among all the providers of
healthcare services across industry. All the healthcare providers must allow to access the data.
And it is the reponisbility of provider for miusing the data by any other means. It must allow the
relevant service providers to use the information like laboratories, medical imaging facilitators,
pharmacies, healthcare specilists and emergency care providers and so on. Untill, the information
is more specific, accurate, update, and most secure, the given objectives may not fulfill. Hence, if
we not attend the full scope of drivers, we may not cover all these.
The implementation of EHR needs coordination and cooperation from all the departments in a
firm and they need to transfer all paper data into digital or electronic form. In this regards, one
should know what is need, what is important and what is un-important. Total dust can not be
carry with us for life long. Hence, it is important to have an idea about what are the boundaries,
limitations to the procedure..

What is the difference between a short and long branchSolution.pdf
What is the difference between a short and long branch?
Solution
long branch is a form of systematic error whereby distantly related lineages are incorrectly
inferred to be closely related. LBA arises when the amount of molecular or morphological
change accumulated within a lineage is sufficient to cause that lineage to appear similar (thus
closely related) to another long-branched lineage, solely because they have both undergone a
large amount of change, rather than because they are related by descent. Such bias is more
common when the overall divergence of some taxa results in long branches within a phylogeny.
Long-branches are often attracted to the base of a phylogenetic tree, because the lineage included
to represent an outgroup is often also long-branched. The frequency of true LBA is unclear and
often debated. Although often viewed as a failing of parsimony-based methodology, LBA can
result from a variety of scenarios
Long branch effects distort maximum.

The essential objective of the enterprises:-
• Identifying target groups who might be immediate recipients
• Devising techniques to guarantee feasible long-term income sources through skill building
sessions for the group.
The main methodology is identifying people who might be profited from the initiative. The
second is to see how to guarantee that these groups build up the skills with the end goal that their

Research indicates that online news seekers tend to access topics of.pdf
Research indicates that online news seekers tend to access topics of interest over what may be
considered more important public affairs stories. Is this good or bad, and how is this related to
the agenda-setting power of mainstream media outlets? Please expand on negative or postive,
thanks!
Solution
This is obviously not good as it negatively impacts the news content and topics. If the news
seekers are more inclined towards the topics which are not as important as public affairs, media
would tend to create or structure its content in the same way so as to meet the demands of its
viewers. This greatly affects the agenda-setting power of mainstream media outlets where in they
concentrate on those specific issues and topics that makes the public to assume that it is more
important. Hence, the reality gets distorted as it is filtered and doctored..
Read Case Study Room 406 and answer the following questions in 2.pdf
Read Case Study \"Room 406\" and answer the following questions in 2-3 page paper
Room 406
It was 4:56 P.M. on the surgical floor of Collins Memorial Hospital. Nurse Rhoda Fleming, an
efficient head nurse with 15 years of experience, was in charge of the floor that afternoon. As is
the case in many hospitals, she had responsibility for several patients herself as well as assuming
supervisory responsibilities over other floor nurses. Making a final room check of her own
patients prior to the arrival of her 5:00 P.M. relief, in Room 406 she found that Mr. Henry
Youstra, who had undergone surgery the week before and not done well, had died. She pulled the
sheet over the face of the body and made a mental note to tell her relief to empty the room for a
new patient, bed space being especially important at this time in the hospital. After finishing her
check she returned to the floor desk. The evening shift supervisor, Anne Simmons, had already
arrived, and was waiting at the desk. “Hi, Anne. 406 just died, so that room’s all set to go again.
Too bad. We can certainly use the space, though.” “That’s for sure. Has 411 had her shot yet?
Dr. Alpers really climbed on me yesterday about it. You know how he is.” “No, not yet. You’d
better do that right away.” “Does the office know that 406 is ready?” “No, you’ll need to call
them after you get things taken care of.” Nurse Supervisor Fleming then left, and Simmons gave
411 her shot and went about other duties, droppping in on her own patients, and chatting with
nurses on the shift. At 5:45 P.M. she called the office and told them that room 406 was ready for
occupancy, though she had not checked the room herself. She was told that a patient would be
moved from recovery and would ultimately occupy 406. Visitors’ hours began at 7:00 P.M. at
the hospital. As she had been doing three times daily throughout the week, as the fourth floor
elevator doors opened, Mrs. Henry Youstra walked out and went down the hall to visit her
husband. At 8:00 P.M., the end of visiting hours, Nurse Super- visor Simmons checked each of
her assigned patient rooms to see that visitors had left. In room 406 she found Mrs. Youstra dead
on the floor beside the bed containing her husband’s body.
1. Explain how “noise” impeded an accurate communication between shift supervisors Fleming
and Simmons in this incident.
2. What barriers to communication existed in the situation?
3. How might this miscommunication have been avoided?
Solution
1. The ‘noise’ impeded an accurate communication between Fleming and Simmons in this case
because both were in a hurry during communication and do not give much attention to what the

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

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.

Please comment for these two separate answers.These two separate a.pdf
- 1. Please comment for these two separate answers. These two separate are describe what institutional structure, growth determinants and productivity changes are place or not in place in Cuba and its effectiveness from the article “Cuba’s leaders are trapped between the need for change and the fear of it.” 1. Cuba does have a significant amount capital in it's social welfare institutions, such as it's healthcare system. Because this would be viewed as a government subsidy it would not contribute to Cuba's GDP but it certainly frees up some room for individuals to save or invest. Along those same lines, the government does provide a very rigid rule of law in Cuba. The country is actually not particularly known for corruption for monetary reasons. The government's lack of fiduciary motivation for it's people may be a fatal self-inflicted wound. It's prime motive of self preservation prevents any chance for real or speedy change 2. As the article states, lack of investment it Cuba's largest economic crux. With the slow moving Cuban government and relations with the U.S. in limbo any sort of investment would be too much of a risk. Cuba could have a tourism boom if travel regulations were lifted. This could spur a massive investment in hotels, resorts, cruise ports, and tours. No doubt, private investment is wait anxiously just as Cuban people are. Generations of Cuban's have lacked an entrepreneurial class and are only now rediscovering capitalism. Rick Steves, a local tour guide based in Edmonds, WA recently took a trip to Cuba (before the 2016 election) and noticed a lack of motivation in the workers. A local Cuban guide attributed it an absence of incentive, a worker or even business owner will make the same amount of money regardless of the amount of work accomplished. Solution While it gets ready for the post-Castro phase in February 2018, Cuba has the chance to resurrect its economic reform outline to foster sustainable development & stability . To do this, the nation will have to crop up from its prevailing condition of economic stagnation, excessive dependence on imports, untenably low level of state wages, & continuing brain drain. Scholars are quite certain that peer-to-peer relations between the Cubans &the Americans is an effectual way to expand bilateral relationships for enhanced development in Cuba. Eradicating hurdles to investment is very important. Additional suggestions are:
