Scenario 1 (length: as needed)
You are considering auctioning a Leonardo Da Vinci original sketch. You entice four bidders to come to your auction. The bidders’ valuations of the sketch in decreasing order are $3.0, $2.2, $2.0, and $1.5 (in millions).
· If you used a second-price sealed bid auction, who would win and what would the winning price be?
· If you used a first-price sealed bid auction and the optimal strategy for the participants was to shade their bid by 20% and the participants used this strategy, who would win and what would the winning price be?
· Which auction should you choose to maximize your profit?
Answer the above questions if the valuations of the sketch are $3.0, $2.7, $2.0 and $1.5.
Scenario 2 (length: 0.5 page)
In the auction described above, suppose that you could entice additional bidders to attend your auction. However, none of the new bidders would have a valuation greater than $3.0 million. Despite that fact, you expect the amount that the winning bidder must pay to increase regardless of the type of auction you use (first- or second-price sealed bid). For each auction, explain why you would expect the auction price to increase. If you want, you may assume the valuations of the original four participants are $3.0, $2.2, $2.0 and $1.5 million.
Scenario 3 (length: 0.5 page)
Some recent Super Bowl advertisements have spent very little time mentioning anything about their product--or even the name of the company. In particular, the two-minute long Ram Trucks "Farmer" commercial had only a few brief and almost unidentifiable views of their product until the last ten seconds of the commercial. Further, the name of the company was only mentioned in the last five seconds of that commercial. Explain why this commercial demonstrated the concept of signaling described in the textbook. In other words, why should consumers be convinced that a Ram truck is of high quality because of the airing of that commercial?
Scenario 4 (length: as needed)
Suppose there are two types of people who need health insurance; high-risk and low-risk consumers. High-risk consumers have a relatively high probability of needing expensive medical care and on average incur $2,000 of medical expenses per year. The high-risk consumers would be willing to pay up to $2,500 for insurance that covers all their medical bills. Low-risk consumers would be willing to pay up to $1,500 for full-coverage insurance and on average would incur on average $1,200 in medical bills. Assume 1/3 of all consumers are high-risk and the remaining 2/3 of consumers are low-risk. Consumers know whether they are high-risk or low-risk. The insurance company knows 2/3 of all consumers are low-risk but cannot identify which consumers are low-risk.
1. If all consumers bought insurance, what price must the insurance company charge to break even in expectation? That is, what price must the insurance company charge so that the expected payments equals the premium?
2. Which consumers w.

Select one (1) of the types of project organization that would suit the development of the larger touring class motorcycles.
The project management organization I would use for this instance is pure project management organization. This helps to separate this project from the home company. It will be an independent segment. It will have its own technical staff and administration, which would be linked to the home company's administration. However, these links will not be strong, and it will enjoy some autonomy. This segment will be able to prepare its own reports on how the project is advancing, make minor purchases, and deliveries without consulting the home company. This will be in order to quicken the development of the motorcycles. The project manager is the head of this segment he will bear full responsibility for the project, although he will report to the senior staff at the home company.

Vendor selection: The vendor selection process is very straight forward as most of the vendors are have had good relations with real tech. The entire consultant team are offered by Real Tech itself. The office supplies are procured by the vendor name Staples. Finally, the laptops are procured by tech systems. The vendors are carefully analyzed by the buyers and are listed on the buyer’s approved vendor list of vendors. The vendors are rated based on the price, delivery time and quality of the products.
3. Selection Process & Criteria
The hardware and office supplies are based on the planned purchase order contract with the vendor. The consultants are interviewed before hand before onboarding the resources into the team.
4. Project Procurement Team
All procurement activities must initially get approval from the immediate manager and then the approval of the project manager. The project manager must document justify the need in a form of a document and present it to the project sponsors.
5.Contract Type:
The procurement strategy used by Tesla is called Fixed- Price Contract. This type of contract is also called Lump- sum contract. The reason for choosing this contract is that there is no uncertainty in the scope of the project. The purchasing module in the Oracle ERP software will help improve the procure to pay cycle in the organization. The ERP implementation partner is bound to finish the implementation within one year at the cost of $350,000.
6.Contract Standards:
All procurement must follow the ISO 9001:2015 standards.

Executive Summary
In this project we intend to streamline and enhance our customer’s user experience for his or her support related needs after or before a purchase have been made. Currently we only support a customer over the phone. At peak hours, this causes line congestion and long wait time for our customers resulting in dip in customer satisfaction level. The creation of a customer care website will allow our company to engage with the customer at multiple points including telephone which we already do. 90% of the calls we log are for general questions or are mostly order related which might not require a call in case a portal is available. This projects aims to create a customer care portal mentioned above for better customer satisfaction.
Over the last three years, our annual sales and revenues have almost tripled. While a phone support option was initially sufficient, peak hour service provision has become problematic. In case we want to go along with our existing support model, we would require to at least double our voice support specialist strength. This would result in additional recurring expenses for the company towards employee salary and equipment. The project should be able to address this issue as well and enable the company to achieve better operational excellence. Enhancement to the website will also be possible and will help us to align better with our customers.

1. The major factors which are included in the low-stress handling are the reduction of stressors, which can be of any form as these inculcate fear in the cattle which effects the control mechanism of the cow. The disturbance in control mechanisms yields adverse results such that the cows are mostly underweight, there is a lower milk yield and low conception rates in addition to the sustained diseases.
2. When the cattle are treated aggressively, a lot of problems occur including the bruising of the animals while transferring them, which affects their health which ultimately impacts their productivity.

1. The major factors which are included in the low-stress handling are the reduction of stressors, which can be of any form as these inculcate fear in the cattle which effects the control mechanism of the cow. The disturbance in control mechanisms yields adverse results such that the cows are mostly underweight, there is a lower milk yield and low conception rates in addition to the sustained diseases.
2. When the cattle are treated aggressively, a lot of problems occur including the bruising of the animals while transferring them, which affects their health which ultimately impacts their productivity.

You are working at Johnson and Cohen law firm and have recently .docxkenjordan97598
You are working at Johnson and Cohen law firm and have recently been assigned to lead the appeal of a man convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death.
The defendant has never had an IQ test, but friends and family insist that he has always been a little “slow“ his entire life. He was also diagnosed with autism earlier in his life and many of his former acquaintances thought he had psychiatric problems when they knew him.
These factors were never brought up at trial by the defendant's previous defense team because they wanted to focus on mitigating circumstances surrounding the crime that was committed rather than confusing the issue with too many different defenses.
Based on the Case Study for this week, submit a 6 page case analysis using Microsoft Word that answers the following questions:
How would your team argue during the appeal that the defendant's constitutional rights were violated?
What evidence would be required for your defendant to be considered mentally retarded under
Atkins v. Virginia
and
Penry v. Lynaugh (1989)
?
Assess whether or not that evidence can be presented in this case.
What evidence would be required for your defendant to be considered insane under
Ford v. Wainwright (1986)
? Assess whether or not that evidence can be presented in this case.
Do you believe that bringing up the defendant's diagnosis of autism could have aided in the defense in the sentencing phase? Would the contention that he was mentally slow have helped? Provide rationale for your answers.
Identify other aspects of the case not mentioned in the scenario that could benefit the defendant. For instance, consider whether the Supreme Court has found it unconstitutional to apply the death penalty in other circumstances.
If you succeed in your appeal, what would be the next steps to occur?

You are working as an APRN in your local primary care office. The rural town of Maynard has 300 people, a post office, doctor’s office, and a gas station. The primary source of income is farming or driving 45 minutes to a somewhat larger town. With the blizzard coming, all your patients except two have cancelled for the morning. Jose is scheduled at 0900; he is a nine-year-old Hispanic male born in Mexico. He and his family (Mom, Dad, and six siblings, ages six months to 14 years) moved into the area just a few months ago. Jose’s mother reported that he had nearly died at two months after contracting pertussis.
Your final patient of the morning is Irena, a 15-year-old teenage female who lives with her aunt in Maynard. Irena is Romanian and barely speaks any English. Her aunt has been your patient for the past few years, and she told you that Irena had been abducted in Romania at the age of 10. Irena’s parents found her quite by accident when a sex trafficking ring dumped all their “product” in a refugee camp in Serbia just a few months ago. Irena’s parents are still in Romania, but they sent Irena here to live with her aunt.
Having discussed many guidelines throughout this term, consider the content you have explored. Using this knowledge, answer the following questions related to your chosen scenario. Note: please try to choose a topic for your initial post that you did not choose previously during the semester or aren’t as familiar with so you can gain additional knowledge as we finish up this course
Discuss the guidelines assigned with your scenario.
Will both patients be treated in the same manner? Why or why not?

You are the new Public Information Officer (PIO) assigned by the Chief of Police. You work for a mid-sized metropolitan police agency that has always relied on the utilization of a city information officer for any media or public communication. Until now, your agency never had an assigned public information officer specifically for the police department. Your agency is growing and is expected to add an additional 25 patrol officers in the next two years.
These added officer positions are in addition to a newly created Federal Task Force, where two new detective positions were added. These positions will create a larger budget for the police department and you have been informed that taxpayers are not necessarily receptive to these costs. As the new PIO, you are required to submit a written communication plan to the Chief of Police detailing how you would draft public notification of the departmental growth and change, reassignments of patrol areas, and overall agency changes occurring in relation to these positions.
Write
a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper that addresses the following:
Describe the genre of communication you would use such as a paper format, social media, public announcement, press release, or a televised media conference.
If increased social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, required for the departmental growth.
How far ahead of these positions being hired would you relay the message?
What do you do with citizens who communicate an opposition the hiring of additional officer causing extra taxes?
Who are your stakeholders in this public notice?
What are the differing concerns of internal communication versus external communication on this issue?
How often would you follow up on the notification? Quarterly, monthly, or annually?

You are to write a
1050 to 1750 word literature review
(in addition to the title page and references page) on the articles you selected for Week 2, synthesizing the findings in the articles that you found on your topic. You may incorporate other articles or references to support your discussion, as needed. Use APA citation and reference guidelines.
What is a literature review?
A literature review is a synthesis and critique of the published research in a given area of research. Your focus is on the findings of the studies you are exploring – their methods, approach, results, and implications – rather than the broad topic overall. It should synthesize findings in specific areas. Thus, you should look for themes in the range of articles and write about them as you group common themes.
Synthesize the material you found. In other words, find connected themes in the different areas you cover. Occasionally you might discuss individual articles, but only if the article is very unique and no other article has similar findings. The synthesis should focus strictly on existing, published research.
What else should you include besides a synthesis of research?
Be sure to include in your review other potential areas that still need to be explored. What unanswered questions are there? What holes are in the research that you have not yet found answers to? What contradictions are in the research will you seek to explore?
Examples of Synthesized Findings for Literature Review:
College students were found to have a large number of conflicts with roommates (Darsey, 2003; Smith, 2001; Yarmouth, 2005). Researchers also found that roommate conflicts were most frequent during the first semester of college (Lotspiech, 2004; Nominskee, 2001; Zackarov, 2000). Morissey (2004) found a reduction of roommate conflicts continued as students progressed from freshman to seniors, with seniors having the fewest roommate conflicts. However, Ellensworth (2001) found no correlation with year in school and frequency of roommate conflict. The contradiction between Ellensworth’s and Morissey’s findings suggest that additional research is needed in this area.
Ellensworth’s (2001) research was strictly quantitative, lacking a full picture of the contexts or reasons for the specific conflicts. It asked people to mark the frequency of their conflicts and types of people with whom they typically disputed. Morissey (2004) conducted interviews that allowed participants to provide an explanation for the reasons for the conflicts, and the contexts (dorm roommates, apartment roommates, house roommates, etc.). However, she interviewed far fewer people than Ellensworth surveyed.
Combining Ellensworth’s surveys with Morissey’s interview questions and utilizing a research team to increase the number of interviews could provide more details about the conflicts and contexts, and allow us to further look into the question of year in school and conflict behavior.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Scenario 1 (length as needed)You are considering auctioning a L.docx
1. Scenario 1 (length: as needed)
You are considering auctioning a Leonardo Da Vinci original
sketch. You entice four bidders to come to your auction. The
bidders’ valuations of the sketch in decreasing order are $3.0,
$2.2, $2.0, and $1.5 (in millions).
· If you used a second-price sealed bid auction, who would win
and what would the winning price be?
· If you used a first-price sealed bid auction and the optimal
strategy for the participants was to shade their bid by 20% and
the participants used this strategy, who would win and what
would the winning price be?
· Which auction should you choose to maximize your profit?
Answer the above questions if the valuations of the sketch are
$3.0, $2.7, $2.0 and $1.5.
Scenario 2 (length: 0.5 page)
In the auction described above, suppose that you could entice
additional bidders to attend your auction. However, none of the
new bidders would have a valuation greater than $3.0 million.
Despite that fact, you expect the amount that the winning bidder
must pay to increase regardless of the type of auction you use
(first- or second-price sealed bid). For each auction, explain
why you would expect the auction price to increase. If you
want, you may assume the valuations of the original four
participants are $3.0, $2.2, $2.0 and $1.5 million.
Scenario 3 (length: 0.5 page)
Some recent Super Bowl advertisements have spent very little
time mentioning anything about their product--or even the name
of the company. In particular, the two-minute long Ram Trucks
"Farmer" commercial had only a few brief and almost
unidentifiable views of their product until the last ten seconds
of the commercial. Further, the name of the company was only
mentioned in the last five seconds of that commercial. Explain
why this commercial demonstrated the concept of signaling
described in the textbook. In other words, why should
2. consumers be convinced that a Ram truck is of high quality
because of the airing of that commercial?
Scenario 4 (length: as needed)
Suppose there are two types of people who need health
insurance; high-risk and low-risk consumers. High-risk
consumers have a relatively high probability of needing
expensive medical care and on average incur $2,000 of medical
expenses per year. The high-risk consumers would be willing to
pay up to $2,500 for insurance that covers all their medical
bills. Low-risk consumers would be willing to pay up to $1,500
for full-coverage insurance and on average would incur on
average $1,200 in medical bills. Assume 1/3 of all consumers
are high-risk and the remaining 2/3 of consumers are low-risk.
Consumers know whether they are high-risk or low-risk. The
insurance company knows 2/3 of all consumers are low-risk but
cannot identify which consumers are low-risk.
1. If all consumers bought insurance, what price must the
insurance company charge to break even in expectation? That
is, what price must the insurance company charge so that the
expected payments equals the premium?
2. Which consumers would purchase insurance at that price?
3. Are there wealth-creating transactions that are not
consummated because of the information asymmetry?
Scenario 5 (length: 0.5 – 1 page)
A struggling company currently has a net worth of $700,000. It
owes $500,000 from debt financing (assume these are loans
from the bank if you wish). The value of the company to the
owners is the difference between the net worth and the amount
owed to the debt holders. What is the current value of the firm
to the owners?
Now assume that a project is presented to the owners that
results in a loss of the entire worth of the company with a
probability of 50% and results in a gain of $500,000 with
probability 50% (resulting in a net worth of $1,200,000). Show
that this in expectation decreases the firm’s value, and explain
why, in spite of that, the owners of the company would want to
3. undertake the project.

9876Executive Summary
A Project Management Office (PMO) is a group or department
within an enterprise that defines and maintains standards for
project management. The PMO main objective is to standardize
and introduce economies of repetition in the execution of
projects. The PMO is the source of documentation, guidance
and metrics on the practice of project management and
execution.
Project purpose: The purpose of this project is to establish a
PMO for Galaxy. Currently the company is not being very
proficient in the current projects they have established and most
importantly the project managers on staff are not properly
trained or certified. Therefore they do not have the skills to
make sure all the areas required to start, manage, and complete
the projects are being taken care of. Also the project managers
are not centrally located so they can collaborate on issues.
The Aim of this project is to:
4. · Relocate the 3 project managers so they are centrally located.
· Have the three project managers become PMP certified
· Install a software suite to manage projects.
· Install an IS Intranet so that members of Galaxy Industries
will have access to project reports.
· Change the project management methodologies so that they
are in line with PMI Global standards
(http://www.pmi.org/PMBOK-Guide-and-Standards.aspx
· Transition the company from legacy Project management
methodologies to the Project Management Office.Project
Purpose
Business Problem
Galaxy Industries has grown because of the recent increase in
International sales instead of only US Sales as in the past. The
growth rate and subsequent staffing has led to performance
problems in several areas of the business process:
· Inability to process orders within 24 hours.
· Rising transportation costs because of increasing cost of fuel.
· Inadequate employee training.
· Greater demand for internal IT services related to the website,
sales, financial reporting, and warehousing/shipping.
· Inability to keep up with changing IT trends.
· Excessive staff turnover in IT, marketing, and sales.
Project Business Objectives
Commonwealth or Agency Strategic Plan – Initiative or Critical
Issue
Project Business Objectives
Development of PMO
Methodic approach to identifying and resolving problems in
business processes as identified in the Business Problem
statement.
Project Management Intranet Site
Provide a means for employees to stay well informed regarding
the status of project information. Intranet will include:
5. Progress, Problems, Risks and any Outstanding Issues.
Assumptions
· Scope changes must go through a formal review.
· Galaxy industries is willing to change all of its legacy systems
to the new system.
· Galaxy industries will freeze any new projects from going
online till the PMO is implemented.
· Current live Projects will continue on the old system till
completion.
· The old system will remain live till the new system is live and
certified and all pre-PMO projects are complete (system will be
implemented side-by-side).
· Galaxies 3 project managers will pass the PMP certification.
· The Project Team has authority to make business decisions.
· There will be available functional resources provided by
Galaxy industries to the project team.
· Executive support will continue through the project.
· The project sponsors will make timely decisions in order to
facilitate a smooth transition.
· Plan to go live in 90 days from project start.Project
Description
The Implementation of a Project Management Office is a
strategic challenge considering its uses in internal and ongoing
projects. The approach utilized must be very straightforward,
evolving and favorable. It should utilize the required tools and
methods to implement a Project Management Office that helps
the firm order mobility, manage employees and their training
requirements by way of assessments and is helpful in time and
budget management.
As pointed out by the CEO, Mr. Smith, the PMP Certification
should be required to start with the project and the involvement
of each of the three Galaxy’s Project Managers along with
PMC’s Project Manager must be initiated. Each of these must
create a combined strategic framework to complete the project
and achieve the desired results. The top down approach seems
to be favorable here. Implementing the work-management and
6. informational system integrated with the PMO would help the
firm to track the projects employee records. This will manage
the issue of order mobility, save time & money and will also
help in minimizing the employee (IT) personnel turnover. This
easy and user friendly interface based PMO will help the firm to
capitalize on increasing sales and manage the IT services in an
improved and effortless manner.
The website for Project Management will help in tracking the
performance of projects which will assist in better assessment,
implementation and analyzing the factors for improvement. The
inclusion of informational and tracking system in the PMO will
also help the firm complete a daily/weekly basis report of
progress on projects. The location has to be decided with
required infrastructure made available quickly to implement the
PMO soon. This way, the firm will be more responsive to its
customers, able to track delivery faster, provide efficient
operations that lead to cost management. The inclusive training
package (anytime training with videos) will also be able to
manage the training related issues for the firm and help
employee management in efficient methods. The inclusive
marketing module of PMO will also boost the firm’s marketing
capacity and planning with analytics. Therefore including PMO
in Galaxy Industries’ Project Management processes will help
the firm to expand and grow.Project Scope

Project Manager
Matthew Beausoliel, PMP. His role is to develop a plan for the
8. project coordinate meetings with the stakeholders, provide
meaningful updates, and make any changes that may be
necessary. He is also responsible for tasking his support team
and make sure they have a clear understanding of the assigned
tasks.
Oversight
The Oversight Agency is Galaxy. Galaxy has control of the
funding and controls the timeline in which they want the project
to be complete. The company is in a solid financial situation
and has partnered with CISCO, FedEx, and
HP/IBM/MicrosoftProject Organization
The PMO project is being implemented by the PMC
organization. The PMC organization is using the standard
vertical hierarchical structure for the project. This will
maximize the standards strengths due to the small size of the
project.
The benefit of this organization is the balancing of objectives
and coordination. This works because the support just report
vertically to the project manager and then we can coordinate
with program manager. Then vertically up to the Oversight of
the whole project.
