The Law of Healthcare Administration
Authors:
Showalter, J. Stuart
Publication Information:
Ed.:
Eighth edition. Chicago, Illinois : Health Administration Press. 2017
Resource Type:
eBook.
Description:
The Law of Healthcare Administration offers a thorough examination of health law in the United States from a management perspective. Using plain language accessible to nonlawyers, the book moves from broadbrush treatments of the US legal system and the history of medicine to specific issues that affect healthcare leaders daily, including contracts, torts, taxation, antitrust laws, regulatory compliance, and, most pressing, health insurance reform and the important changes that have taken place since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) became law in 2010. The legal concepts discussed in the book are amply supported by reallife examples, detailed explanations, and excerpts from decisions of federal and state courts.

we reviewed informed consent in the case of competent adults. There are many “gray” areas of consent in cases of children or incompetent adults; however, the law has sought to provide clear guidance for health care providers and legal guardians.
Review pages 393-411 in the Showalter textbook and choose at least one of the subtopics in this section regarding consent. Provide an explanation of the “gray area” of your choosing, including any relevant legal cases discussed, and how this is handled under the law.

The latter half of the twentieth century witnessed the rise of the i.docx
The latter half of the twentieth century witnessed the rise of the international development sector, bringing with it new government agencies and international organizations (see Appendix – International Education and Development Timeline). Education played a pivotal role in the new development sector: Rostow’s (1960) modernization theory stipulated that investments in education would put Third World countries on the path to development, eventually transforming them into industrialized societies similar to those in Western Europe and North America.
However, the experiences of Zambia and Nepal show that the relationship between education and development is not straightforward or deterministic. Zambia initially concentrated on secondary and technical education, but was later hard-hit by structural adjustment programmes and burdened with debt. Nepal’s history shows not only that primary education can be rapidly expanded in just a few generations, but also that this expansion can marginalize many groups within a society.
The most important outcome of the post-war period was a set of ideas about what development is and what it means to be developed. These were articulated by development theorists such as Rostow (1960) as well as through international development organizations (e.g. UNDP, World Bank, USAID). The notions that former colonies should develop into industrial nations, that international aid could facilitate the economic growth required, and that investments in education were one way they could do so, all emerged during this period. More than 60 years later, these ideas still underlie much of the work within the field of international development as well as the ways in which development is constructed in popular media and the press. However, the next chapter examines how challenges to these underlying ideas have redefined development work and the role of education within it.
In your own words, define development. What does it mean for a society to be developed? Is education necessary for development, and is it sufficient to ensure development?

This document summarizes the 1947 Mendez v. Westminster Supreme Court case, which ruled that segregating Mexican American students into separate schools violated the 14th Amendment. It discusses how this case paved the way for the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision banning racial segregation in schools. The case involved Mexican American parents in California suing to allow their children to attend white schools rather than segregated Mexican schools with inferior conditions. Thurgood Marshall participated in this case and it influenced his strategy in Brown v. Board.

The late 1920s and 1930s were a time when many Americans endured the humiliation of rampant racism as well as crushing poverty. Yet most mainstream popular music (exemplified by the Tin Pan Alley style) avoided these issues and focused instead on escapist themes of privacy and romance.
Why might this have been the case? Do you feel that contemporary popular music also focuses on escapist themes like the 1920s and 1930s or do you feel that it tackles the relevant issues of the day? Do you feel that popular music works best as an escape from the problems of the world or as a forum to explore and engage in such issues? Please be as specific as possible in citing examples

Choose to view one of the movies in this Unit, either
The Garden
(in English and somein Spanish with English subtitles) or
Holding Ground Parts 1 and 2.
Then consider the following social justice issues listed below that have impacted physiological, social, psychological and spiritual human behavior and development on the macro (societal) and mezzo (family and community) person and environmental dimensions of human functioning. These issues could serve as the foundation to the creation of a social movement in your local (city, small town), state, or federal level. Choose a topic that you have some passion for that you or others known to you have experienced. If you have your own topic, not on the list, check with the Instructor.
Some examples are:
Medical health care costs
Disability accessibility
Housing conditions (lack of or segregated sub-standard housing and rent)
Environmental air/ground conditions (e.g. sinkholes in a neighborhood, ground pollution causing birth defects, etc.)
Nutrition needs (e.g. hunger, poverty, etc.)
Political representation (e.g. lack of access to voter registration, municipal representation, or suppression)
Safety measures - (e.g. police profiling, lack of police patrols, neighborhood violence, racial violence)
Unemployment – e.g. layoffs, segregated workplaces by gender/race/age
Poverty – low income, lack of health insurance, lack of access to payment for medications.
High property taxes
Neglected or segregated schools
Banking and regulatory practices that may profile or discriminate against specified populations
Discriminatory practices involving vulnerable minority populations
Toxic air/water pollution
Conduct a literature review of 10 peer-reviewed sources to research the social justice aspects of your chosen issue and its consequences - e.g. physiological, political, social, psychological, and spiritual consequences on the macro (societal, community) and mezzo (family and community) personal and environmental dimensions. Integrate by way of in-text cited content the research findings into your paper’s content from the Hutchison text - e.g. Chapters 13 on Communities and Chapter 14 on Social Movement and from the supplemental sources. Instructions on how to write a literature review is posted under Assignments. (See above.)
Respond to the following:Explain historically how this issue came to be and the current conditions that are impacting on what specific population/s of people. Discuss the importance of your issue. “What are the two or three cultural frames that would motivate people to engage in collective action on this issue….How important do you think emotions are in motivating people to participate in [this] social movement activity (Hutchison, 2019, 450)?” Explain and support your rationale by way of in-text cited content.

(Note that this file name doesn't match the code so you'll need to adjust that.)
Some tasks ask you to write code, and specify what name to use for the file in NetBeans. You need to use exactly the name that is given (do not change the case, or make any other modification). Remember, the name of the main class must match the filename.
There are further instructions at the bottom (after the questions) about how to save the file from NetBeans in order to be able to turn it in.
For every lab assignment you need to create an answers file. In this answers file you will put in answer any questions that are asked, you will show the output of code that you write and you will reference any code files that you create for a given question. See below for more details about what goes in the answers file.
Your answers document needs to be named with your initials and the last four digits of your ID number and then Lab#answers. So if my initials are JCMT and the last four digits of my ID are 1234, then the answers file for my Lab 4 would be

Learning Outcomes
After reading this chapter, you should be able to
• Define the term adept mind.
• Explain the role critical thinking plays in becoming a successful student.
• Demonstrate critical reading within the college learning context.
• Describe how your Patterns affect your critical-reading skills.
• Demonstrate critical writing within the college learning context.
• Describe how your Patterns affect your critical-writing skills.
• Explain how critical-thinking skills contribute to academic integrity.
“In order to thrive in the 21st Century, intentional learners should be
empowered through a mastery of intellectual and practical skills, informed
about forms of inquiry, and responsible for their personal actions.”
—J. Doherty and K. Ketchner (2005, p. 1)
Section 4.2Becoming a Critical Thinker
4.1 The Adept Mind
Chapter 3 was devoted to helping you understand how to use metacognition, the learning
techniques known as decoding and FITing, and personalized strategies to become a more
intentional learner. This chapter builds on that knowledge by framing how to use your Learn-
ing Patterns to develop an adept mind.
The adept mind helps you succeed in all areas of life. It is one that makes good decisions and
can discern the difference between fact and fiction. It studies a situation’s complexity, weighs
the facts, examines the logic behind a choice, and determines whether a choice is appropriate.
The adept mind is intentional, stable, and often methodical and always seeks to improve its
efficiency and effectiveness. The adept mind is vital not only to the work of a student, but also
to the experience of being a parent, employee, or volunteer. No matter what you are called
on to do in life, you will need an adept mind to navigate the change you encounter and the
growth you seek.
The adept mind uses the critical skills of thinking, reading, and writing—skills this chap-
ter explores in depth—and uses them with integrity. The word critical is not one students
embrace easily. It has a negative connotation and suggests that someone has found fault with
something you have done. It conjures up images of a scolding voice, red pen marks, or nega-
tive comments. When applied to thinking, reading, and writing, however, the word critical
takes on a different meaning. To be critical means to delve deeper into a topic to better under-
stand, evaluate, and take a position on it. As you will see at the end of the chapter, being criti-
cal also means becoming able to use your research with honesty and originality.
4.2 Becoming a Critical Thinker
When you engage in critical think-
ing, you embark on an ongoing quest
to improve how you think. Thinking
critically requires you to b.
The Kite Runner contains many families that suffer in their own uniq.docx
The Kite Runner contains many families that suffer in their own unique way. Two different fathers in the novel both are overbearing in their own way, which leads to their families falling apart. The author uses these families to dimistrait the theme of how overbearing parents will cause their kids to resent their family. The main character Amir's family's major source of unhappiness was Baba's decision to father an illegitimate child with the servant’s son. This created an unhealthy dynamic between The legitimate and illegitimate son where the legitimate son constantly had to fight for and earn his father's affection from the illegitimate son. It got so bad that Amir, the legitimate child, forced the two families to separate. Ironically, Baba showing his son too much affection is what separated them in the end. Amir’s wife Soraya has a broken family of her own. Her father was a famous General back in Afghanistan, but now does nothing but run a resale store as a hobby and cash in welfare checks. He sees himself as above the rest of his countrymen and too important to work labor. While he does nothing to improve his standard of living, he expects his daughter to not only be successful in school but pursue a high-paying job to his specification. This pressure makes Soray act out and rebel, leading her to compromise her Purity Within The Afghani community. This sacrifices her chance at marrying, one of the major ways his family could have moved up socially and economically. Both of these fathers put unrealistic expectations on their children leading to broken families in a different way. Baba’s unrealistic expectations led Amir into destroying the family he loved while Sayora’s father's overbearingness led her to ruin his family’s pride which he valued over everything.

The kind of relationships that society expects from its citizens an.docx
“The kind of relationships that society expects from its citizens and the way it organizes its important institutions – the family, the system of governance and control – can either nurture or stunt people’s impulses to give help to relatives, friends, and needy strangers” (Mandell and Schram, 2012, p. 28).

THE KING COMPANY BACKGROUND The King Company experiences man.docx
THE KING COMPANY BACKGROUND The King Company experiences many of the difficulties common in today’s business climate. In response to declining sales, the company must transform itself from a strategy of expansion and high profit to one of cost containment and staff reductions.The case discusses the organization and provides details of the human resource department. Also presented are e-mails from various staff members. The e-mails identify specific problems that need to be addressed by the HR department and provides a look at King’s overall culture. You may find the tone of some e-mails to be unprofessional. This is a good lesson for us all--As much as we enjoy informality in the workplace, all documents and correspondence— including e-mails—can be retained and are discoverable in litigation. Managers must be cautious in their writing because inappropriate language may be impossible to defend in court.

COMPANY BACKGROUND:
The King Company is a small manufacturing company located in a mid-sized city in the upper Midwest. King manufactures high-quality specialty components for the computer industry. The company was founded in 1994 by current CEO, Don Dean. Dean was a talented young engineer in Silicon Valley. When the industry hit the skids in the early 1990s, he found himself out the door with little more than an entrepreneurial spirit and a small severance. Dean left California, moved back to his home state and used his severance to finance The King Company, starting the company in small rented quarters in a nearly vacant strip mall. He brought in Cliff Madison early on as chief financial officer. Dean was smart enough to know that he had no head for figures, but Madison did. Madison was an old college buddy, a super accounting wiz, and somebody Dean could trust to squeeze as much mileage as possible out of his severance money. It was a good match. Madison managed the business, and Dean was the idea man and designer of the specialty components, patents of which were the backbone of King’s success. Today, the low-rent strip mall is a part of company history, and King employs 835 full-time workers.

The kickback mine
What seemed an ordinary case became more intriguing
September/October 2012

The author, then an FBI special agent, received a call from Crimson Mine's general counsel who told him he wanted to prosecute a vendor who had been caught overbilling. The author thought that the case would be a routine matter of vendor greed. However, he found additional suspects, and the fraudster also turned out to be a victim in this $550,000 fraud. Learn about the wisdom of early interviews, the problems of "investigative myopia" and the advantages of limiting the scope of a fraud examination to save time and discover evidence.This article is excerpted and adapted from the "Bribery and Corruption Casebook: The View from Under the Table," edited by Dr. Joseph T. Wells, CFE, CPA, and Laura Hymes, CFE, published by John Wiley & Sons Inc. ©2012 Used with permission. Names in this case have been changed.
It was a typically slow day at the Bellville, W.V., Residency Agency of the FBI where I served as a special agent. Because I was the only agent with an accounting background, I was the designated white-collar specialist when new cases arose. George Brent, Crimson Mine's general counsel, called to tell me about the recent discovery that one of its vendors had been overbilling, and Brent wanted to prosecute. I first thought that this would be a routine matter of a vendor's greed, and I'd just need to look at how much was taken and try to get the vendor to confess. However, during the course of my investigation, we developed additional suspects, the scheme took a turn in a new direction, and the bad guy actually turned out to be likable and as much a victim as he was a suspect. This would also be one of the largest frauds to ever occur in Bellville.
The Crimson Mine had been a major employer in the region for more than 40 years. However, recently two of the three mines had closed, which resulted in a loss of jobs in the area. A large public company, Diversified Holdings Inc., had purchased Crimson a couple of years before we investigated the fraud. The company had a hotline, and its new telephone number was posted in the break room and other places at the mine. It subcontracted out mine support construction to local vendors so that Crimson could focus on mining. Through the years, the company had several different vendors, but for the past five years, it exclusively used Richardson Construction because of its prompt response and excellent work.
Keith Richardson moved to Bellville eight years earlier to start a small construction company dedicated to providing specialized metal fabrication to the Crimson Mine and manufacturing companies in the area. When Richardson started, he only had one employee, but over the years he had developed the company into a thriving business with 30 workers.
Richardson was proud of his success but also felt a great sense of responsibility to his employees to fin.

The key aspect of Blanche’s character is fear. The word magic” t.docx
The key aspect of Blanche’s character is fear. The word “ magic” to me means the desire to be forgiven.When Blanche says magic, this shows her self-consciousness unable to deal with her reality thus leading to fantasy. Blanche got married to her husband Allan at a very young age. Being married at a young age is difficult for any young woman. Having to give up your dreams and starting a home with all the responsibilities that come along is quite a challenge.She questioned how she could have been better or the reason as to why her husband cheated. She discovered that her husband was cheating her with a man and this made her feel that that she is not that type of woman that a husband can be satisfied with. Her husband died shortly after their marriage. He committed suicide. The grief of losing a loved one especially a spouse at a young age is beyond comprehension. Everyone wishes to grow old together with their spouse. Blanche loved her husband Allan very much, and this is evident when he died.In fact, she had to go to her sister’s apartment after she engaged herself in promiscuity in a bid to deal with her pain. Even though, that happened after she lost her husband by ten years. She could not bear the pain of losing her home. It must have hurt her so much.It must have made her feel like less a woman.Blanche’s self-esteem took a turn. She felt so low about her appearance and that is when she started dressing scantily to get the attention of other men. She sleeps around with any interested man from her hometown. This behavior may have made her feel that she is still desirable after her husband cheated on her. She sleeps around with men to try and dismiss her feelings of betrayal self-worthlessness. As a result of not being able to deal with her grief and turning into promiscuity, Blanche was chased away from her hotel due to her loose morals. Since she did not have anywhere else to go, she moved in with her sister and brother in law. Blanche did not enjoy her stay here as well, a woman dealing with the pain of low self-esteem would do anything to make herself relevant. During her stay there, she puts herself in a superior position thus that got her loathed. Blanche calls Stanley, her brother-in-law callous names and demeaning her sister makes her feel that she is way above others. She uses that to mask her past and what she has become as a person. Blanche is bitter about life because of all the things that have happened to her. Treating people in a demeaning way makes Blanche feel better because she can hurt people as much as she has gotten hurt before and also numb her pain for a while. Most of the negative things that happen to Blanche are a result of the pain she went through and she is trying to hide that pain which leads her into committing more mistakes.Blanche then finds a job as a teacher, but the glory did not last long. She allegedly slept with one of the students. Despite having a job and a fresh start, the pain wouldn't just go away, .
The juvenile justice system covers a number of categories of childre.docx
The juvenile justice system covers a number of categories of children: delinquent, undisciplined, dependent, neglected, abused, and status offender. As a result, the law has sought to adapt the rights, institutions, and treatment options available to an increasingly diverse juvenile population – gangs, substance abuse, mental health concerns, sexual orientation, cyber-stalking, cyber-bullying, sexual-oriented texting, and school violence.
Beginning with the material conveyed in the assigned reading and presentation, select two scholarly articles from the university criminal justice databases, and integrate those resources to discuss the challenges facing the juvenile justice system as it seeks to respond to a perceived need to pursue the “adultification” of juvenile criminal behavior. Finally, integrate within your discussion the impact of a Judeo-Christian viewpoint for treating juvenile criminals as adults.

The juvenile justice system deals with several categories of children, including those who are delinquent, undisciplined, dependent, neglected, abused or status offenders. The system faces challenges in adapting to a diverse juvenile population with issues like gangs, substance abuse, mental health concerns, various orientations, cyber crimes, and school violence. The system also struggles with pursuing more adult-like treatment of juvenile criminal behavior while maintaining a Judeo-Christian perspective of treating juveniles differently than adults.

Moving mission-oriented enterprise software applications to cloud environments is a crucial IT task and
requires a systematic approach. The foci of this paper is to provide a detailed review of extant cloud
migration approaches from the perspective of the process model. To this aim, an evaluation framework
is proposed and used to appraise and compare existing approaches for highlighting their features, simi-
larities, and key differences. The survey distills the status quo and makes a rich inventory of important
activities, recommendations, techniques, and concerns that are common in a typical cloud migration pro-
cess in one place. This enables both academia and practitioners in the cloud computing community to get
an overarching view of the process of the legacy application migration to the cloud. Furthermore, the sur-
vey identifies a number challenges that have not been yet addressed by existing approaches, developing
opportunities for further research endeavours.

. Introduction
Many enterprise software applications that support IT functions

bility, and resource consumption ( Buyya et al., 2009; Armbrust
t al., 2010 ). In recent years, cloud computing initiatives have re-
eived significant attention towards addressing these requirements
hrough offering services in various forms such as SaaS (software
s a service), PaaS (platform as a service), and IaaS (infrastruc-
ure as a service) which are universally accessible, acquirable, and
eleasable on the fly, and payable on the basis of service usage

It is indisputable that the identification of autism is signifi-
cantly on the rise. Concomitantly, there has been a steady and
steep increase in autism litigation (Zirkel, 2001). The most
controversial segment of this litigation, which focuses on the
appropriateness of applied behavior analysis (ABA) programs,
has been subjected to insufficient systematic study.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the pertinent case
law related to the two central issues of contention between
parents and school districts—program selection (i.e., the
choice between competing instructional approaches) and im-
plementation of said program (e.g., its location, duration, or
frequency)—in terms of winning parties (i.e., district or par-
ent) and in terms of identifying the factors noted in the cases
related to the outcome. This review of the literature addresses
the current definitions of autism, ABA and its primary com-
peting instructional approach, and the previous research on
autism litigation.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders–Fourth Edition (DSM-IV; American Psychiatric As-
sociation, 1994) defines autism under the umbrella category of
Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD), while medical pro-
fessionals refer to both PDD and autism as autistic spectrum
disorder (ASD; Filapek et al., 1999). Regardless of the nomen-
clature used, ASD and PDD refer to the same continuum of
behaviors with a cluster of unusual characteristics: lack of so-
cial responsiveness, delays in speech or inadequate quality of
speech, restricted or stereotypic interests, delays or abnormal-
ities in social interaction, and lack of symbolic play (DSM-IV).
On the other hand, the Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act (IDEA) regulations (1999) define autism as follows:

Outcome-Related Factors in the Case Law
Claire Maher Choutka, Patricia T. Doloughty, and Perry A. Zirkel, Lehigh University
This study provides an analysis of case law concerning applied behavior analysis (ABA) for students
with autism to determine outcome-related factors. The authors classified the 68 pertinent hearing/
review officer and court decisions published in EHLR (Education for Handicapped Law Report) and
IDELR (Individuals with Disabilities Education Law Report) into 2 groups representing the central is-
sues of contention between parents and districts—program selection (e.g., instructional approach) and
program implementation (e.g., its location, duration, or frequency). For both groups, the outcomes, in
terms of who won, did not favor either parents or districts. The three factors predominantly associated
with wins by either party for both groups of decisions were testimony of witnesses, documentation of
progress, and Individualized Education Program elements.

Agile methods have become an appealing alternative for companies striving to improve their perfor-
mance, but the methods were originally designed for small and individual teams. This creates unique
challenges when introducing agile at scale, when development teams must synchronize their activities,
and there might be a need to interface with other organizational units. In this paper we present a system-
atic literature review on how agile methods and lean software development has been adopted at scale,
focusing on reported challenges and success factors in the transformation. We conducted a systematic lit-
erature review of industrial large-scale agile transformations. Our keyword search found 1875 papers. We
included 52 publications describing 42 industrial cases presenting the process of taking large-scale agile
development into use. Almost 90% of the included papers were experience reports, indicating a lack of
sound academic research on the topic. We identified 35 reported challenges grouped into nine categories,
and 29 success factors, grouped into eleven categories. The most salient success factor categories were
management support, choosing and customizing the agile model, training and coaching, and mindset and
alignment.

. Introduction
Agile methods were originally designed for use in small, single-
eam projects ( Boehm and Turner, 2005 ). However, their shown
nd potential benefits have made them attractive also outside this
ontext, particularly both for larger projects and in larger compa-
ies. This despite the fact that they are more difficult to implement
n larger projects ( Dybå and Dingsøyr, 2009 ). Compared to small
rojects, which are ideal for agile development, larger ones are
haracterized.

The code you need to start with :
Lab4Part1.c
The data file you need :
Lab4giftList.txt
(Note that this file name doesn't match the code so you'll need to adjust that.)
Some tasks ask you to write code, and specify what name to use for the file in NetBeans. You need to use exactly the name that is given (do not change the case, or make any other modification). Remember, the name of the main class must match the filename.
There are further instructions at the bottom (after the questions) about how to save the file from NetBeans in order to be able to turn it in.
For every lab assignment you need to create an answers file. In this answers file you will put in answer any questions that are asked, you will show the output of code that you write and you will reference any code files that you create for a given question. See below for more details about what goes in the answers file.
Your answers document needs to be named with your initials and the last four digits of your ID number and then Lab#answers. So if my initials are JCMT and the last four digits of my ID are 1234, then the answers file for my Lab 4 would be
JCMT1234Lab3answers

“In order to thrive in the 21st Century, intentional learners should be
empowered through a mastery of intellectual and practical skills, informed
about forms of inquiry, and responsible for their personal actions.”
—J. Doherty and K. Ketchner (2005, p. 1)
Section 4.2Becoming a Critical Thinker
4.1 The Adept Mind
Chapter 3 was devoted to helping you understand how to use metacognition, the learning
techniques known as decoding and FITing, and personalized strategies to become a more
intentional learner. This chapter builds on that knowledge by framing how to use your Learn-
ing Patterns to develop an adept mind.
The adept mind helps you succeed in all areas of life. It is one that makes good decisions and
can discern the difference between fact and fiction. It studies a situation’s complexity, weighs
the facts, examines the logic behind a choice, and determines whether a choice is appropriate.
The adept mind is intentional, stable, and often methodical and always seeks to improve its
efficiency and effectiveness. The adept mind is vital not only to the work of a student, but also
to the experience of being a parent, employee, or volunteer. No matter what you are called
on to do in life, you will need an adept mind to navigate the change you encounter and the
growth you seek.
The adept mind uses the critical skills of thinking, reading, and writing—skills this chap-
ter explores in depth—and uses them with integrity. The word critical is not one students
embrace easily. It has a negative connotation and suggests that someone has found fault with
something you have done. It conjures up images of a scolding voice, red pen marks, or nega-
tive comments. When applied to thinking, reading, and writing, however, the word critical
takes on a different meaning. To be critical means to delve deeper into a topic to better under-
stand, evaluate, and take a position on it. As you will see at the end of the chapter, being criti-
cal also means becoming able to use your research with honesty and originality.
4.2 Becoming a Critical Thinker
When you engage in critical think-
ing, you embark on an ongoing quest
to improve how you think. Thinking
critically requires you to b.
The Kite Runner contains many families that suffer in their own uniq.docx
The Kite Runner contains many families that suffer in their own unique way. Two different fathers in the novel both are overbearing in their own way, which leads to their families falling apart. The author uses these families to dimistrait the theme of how overbearing parents will cause their kids to resent their family. The main character Amir's family's major source of unhappiness was Baba's decision to father an illegitimate child with the servant’s son. This created an unhealthy dynamic between The legitimate and illegitimate son where the legitimate son constantly had to fight for and earn his father's affection from the illegitimate son. It got so bad that Amir, the legitimate child, forced the two families to separate. Ironically, Baba showing his son too much affection is what separated them in the end. Amir’s wife Soraya has a broken family of her own. Her father was a famous General back in Afghanistan, but now does nothing but run a resale store as a hobby and cash in welfare checks. He sees himself as above the rest of his countrymen and too important to work labor. While he does nothing to improve his standard of living, he expects his daughter to not only be successful in school but pursue a high-paying job to his specification. This pressure makes Soray act out and rebel, leading her to compromise her Purity Within The Afghani community. This sacrifices her chance at marrying, one of the major ways his family could have moved up socially and economically. Both of these fathers put unrealistic expectations on their children leading to broken families in a different way. Baba’s unrealistic expectations led Amir into destroying the family he loved while Sayora’s father's overbearingness led her to ruin his family’s pride which he valued over everything.

THE KING COMPANY BACKGROUND The King Company experiences man.docx
THE KING COMPANY BACKGROUND The King Company experiences many of the difficulties common in today’s business climate. In response to declining sales, the company must transform itself from a strategy of expansion and high profit to one of cost containment and staff reductions.The case discusses the organization and provides details of the human resource department. Also presented are e-mails from various staff members. The e-mails identify specific problems that need to be addressed by the HR department and provides a look at King’s overall culture. You may find the tone of some e-mails to be unprofessional. This is a good lesson for us all--As much as we enjoy informality in the workplace, all documents and correspondence— including e-mails—can be retained and are discoverable in litigation. Managers must be cautious in their writing because inappropriate language may be impossible to defend in court.

COMPANY BACKGROUND:
The King Company is a small manufacturing company located in a mid-sized city in the upper Midwest. King manufactures high-quality specialty components for the computer industry. The company was founded in 1994 by current CEO, Don Dean. Dean was a talented young engineer in Silicon Valley. When the industry hit the skids in the early 1990s, he found himself out the door with little more than an entrepreneurial spirit and a small severance. Dean left California, moved back to his home state and used his severance to finance The King Company, starting the company in small rented quarters in a nearly vacant strip mall. He brought in Cliff Madison early on as chief financial officer. Dean was smart enough to know that he had no head for figures, but Madison did. Madison was an old college buddy, a super accounting wiz, and somebody Dean could trust to squeeze as much mileage as possible out of his severance money. It was a good match. Madison managed the business, and Dean was the idea man and designer of the specialty components, patents of which were the backbone of King’s success. Today, the low-rent strip mall is a part of company history, and King employs 835 full-time workers.

What seemed an ordinary case became more intriguing
September/October 2012

The author, then an FBI special agent, received a call from Crimson Mine's general counsel who told him he wanted to prosecute a vendor who had been caught overbilling. The author thought that the case would be a routine matter of vendor greed. However, he found additional suspects, and the fraudster also turned out to be a victim in this $550,000 fraud. Learn about the wisdom of early interviews, the problems of "investigative myopia" and the advantages of limiting the scope of a fraud examination to save time and discover evidence.This article is excerpted and adapted from the "Bribery and Corruption Casebook: The View from Under the Table," edited by Dr. Joseph T. Wells, CFE, CPA, and Laura Hymes, CFE, published by John Wiley & Sons Inc. ©2012 Used with permission. Names in this case have been changed.
It was a typically slow day at the Bellville, W.V., Residency Agency of the FBI where I served as a special agent. Because I was the only agent with an accounting background, I was the designated white-collar specialist when new cases arose. George Brent, Crimson Mine's general counsel, called to tell me about the recent discovery that one of its vendors had been overbilling, and Brent wanted to prosecute. I first thought that this would be a routine matter of a vendor's greed, and I'd just need to look at how much was taken and try to get the vendor to confess. However, during the course of my investigation, we developed additional suspects, the scheme took a turn in a new direction, and the bad guy actually turned out to be likable and as much a victim as he was a suspect. This would also be one of the largest frauds to ever occur in Bellville.
The Crimson Mine had been a major employer in the region for more than 40 years. However, recently two of the three mines had closed, which resulted in a loss of jobs in the area. A large public company, Diversified Holdings Inc., had purchased Crimson a couple of years before we investigated the fraud. The company had a hotline, and its new telephone number was posted in the break room and other places at the mine. It subcontracted out mine support construction to local vendors so that Crimson could focus on mining. Through the years, the company had several different vendors, but for the past five years, it exclusively used Richardson Construction because of its prompt response and excellent work.
Keith Richardson moved to Bellville eight years earlier to start a small construction company dedicated to providing specialized metal fabrication to the Crimson Mine and manufacturing companies in the area. When Richardson started, he only had one employee, but over the years he had developed the company into a thriving business with 30 workers.
Richardson was proud of his success but also felt a great sense of responsibility to his employees to fin.

The key aspect of Blanche’s character is fear. The word magic” t.docx
The key aspect of Blanche’s character is fear. The word “ magic” to me means the desire to be forgiven.When Blanche says magic, this shows her self-consciousness unable to deal with her reality thus leading to fantasy. Blanche got married to her husband Allan at a very young age. Being married at a young age is difficult for any young woman. Having to give up your dreams and starting a home with all the responsibilities that come along is quite a challenge.She questioned how she could have been better or the reason as to why her husband cheated. She discovered that her husband was cheating her with a man and this made her feel that that she is not that type of woman that a husband can be satisfied with. Her husband died shortly after their marriage. He committed suicide. The grief of losing a loved one especially a spouse at a young age is beyond comprehension. Everyone wishes to grow old together with their spouse. Blanche loved her husband Allan very much, and this is evident when he died.In fact, she had to go to her sister’s apartment after she engaged herself in promiscuity in a bid to deal with her pain. Even though, that happened after she lost her husband by ten years. She could not bear the pain of losing her home. It must have hurt her so much.It must have made her feel like less a woman.Blanche’s self-esteem took a turn. She felt so low about her appearance and that is when she started dressing scantily to get the attention of other men. She sleeps around with any interested man from her hometown. This behavior may have made her feel that she is still desirable after her husband cheated on her. She sleeps around with men to try and dismiss her feelings of betrayal self-worthlessness. As a result of not being able to deal with her grief and turning into promiscuity, Blanche was chased away from her hotel due to her loose morals. Since she did not have anywhere else to go, she moved in with her sister and brother in law. Blanche did not enjoy her stay here as well, a woman dealing with the pain of low self-esteem would do anything to make herself relevant. During her stay there, she puts herself in a superior position thus that got her loathed. Blanche calls Stanley, her brother-in-law callous names and demeaning her sister makes her feel that she is way above others. She uses that to mask her past and what she has become as a person. Blanche is bitter about life because of all the things that have happened to her. Treating people in a demeaning way makes Blanche feel better because she can hurt people as much as she has gotten hurt before and also numb her pain for a while. Most of the negative things that happen to Blanche are a result of the pain she went through and she is trying to hide that pain which leads her into committing more mistakes.Blanche then finds a job as a teacher, but the glory did not last long. She allegedly slept with one of the students. Despite having a job and a fresh start, the pain wouldn't just go away, .
The juvenile justice system covers a number of categories of childre.docx
The juvenile justice system covers a number of categories of children: delinquent, undisciplined, dependent, neglected, abused, and status offender. As a result, the law has sought to adapt the rights, institutions, and treatment options available to an increasingly diverse juvenile population – gangs, substance abuse, mental health concerns, sexual orientation, cyber-stalking, cyber-bullying, sexual-oriented texting, and school violence.
Beginning with the material conveyed in the assigned reading and presentation, select two scholarly articles from the university criminal justice databases, and integrate those resources to discuss the challenges facing the juvenile justice system as it seeks to respond to a perceived need to pursue the “adultification” of juvenile criminal behavior. Finally, integrate within your discussion the impact of a Judeo-Christian viewpoint for treating juvenile criminals as adults.

The juvenile justice system deals with several categories of children, including those who are delinquent, undisciplined, dependent, neglected, abused or status offenders. The system faces challenges in adapting to a diverse juvenile population with issues like gangs, substance abuse, mental health concerns, various orientations, cyber crimes, and school violence. The system also struggles with pursuing more adult-like treatment of juvenile criminal behavior while maintaining a Judeo-Christian perspective of treating juveniles differently than adults.

Moving mission-oriented enterprise software applications to cloud environments is a crucial IT task and
requires a systematic approach. The foci of this paper is to provide a detailed review of extant cloud
migration approaches from the perspective of the process model. To this aim, an evaluation framework
is proposed and used to appraise and compare existing approaches for highlighting their features, simi-
larities, and key differences. The survey distills the status quo and makes a rich inventory of important
activities, recommendations, techniques, and concerns that are common in a typical cloud migration pro-
cess in one place. This enables both academia and practitioners in the cloud computing community to get
an overarching view of the process of the legacy application migration to the cloud. Furthermore, the sur-
vey identifies a number challenges that have not been yet addressed by existing approaches, developing
opportunities for further research endeavours.

It is indisputable that the identification of autism is signifi-
cantly on the rise. Concomitantly, there has been a steady and
steep increase in autism litigation (Zirkel, 2001). The most
controversial segment of this litigation, which focuses on the
appropriateness of applied behavior analysis (ABA) programs,
has been subjected to insufficient systematic study.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the pertinent case
law related to the two central issues of contention between
parents and school districts—program selection (i.e., the
choice between competing instructional approaches) and im-
plementation of said program (e.g., its location, duration, or
frequency)—in terms of winning parties (i.e., district or par-
ent) and in terms of identifying the factors noted in the cases
related to the outcome. This review of the literature addresses
the current definitions of autism, ABA and its primary com-
peting instructional approach, and the previous research on
autism litigation.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders–Fourth Edition (DSM-IV; American Psychiatric As-
sociation, 1994) defines autism under the umbrella category of
Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD), while medical pro-
fessionals refer to both PDD and autism as autistic spectrum
disorder (ASD; Filapek et al., 1999). Regardless of the nomen-
clature used, ASD and PDD refer to the same continuum of
behaviors with a cluster of unusual characteristics: lack of so-
cial responsiveness, delays in speech or inadequate quality of
speech, restricted or stereotypic interests, delays or abnormal-
ities in social interaction, and lack of symbolic play (DSM-IV).
On the other hand, the Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act (IDEA) regulations (1999) define autism as follows:

Outcome-Related Factors in the Case Law
Claire Maher Choutka, Patricia T. Doloughty, and Perry A. Zirkel, Lehigh University
This study provides an analysis of case law concerning applied behavior analysis (ABA) for students
with autism to determine outcome-related factors. The authors classified the 68 pertinent hearing/
review officer and court decisions published in EHLR (Education for Handicapped Law Report) and
IDELR (Individuals with Disabilities Education Law Report) into 2 groups representing the central is-
sues of contention between parents and districts—program selection (e.g., instructional approach) and
program implementation (e.g., its location, duration, or frequency). For both groups, the outcomes, in
terms of who won, did not favor either parents or districts. The three factors predominantly associated
with wins by either party for both groups of decisions were testimony of witnesses, documentation of
progress, and Individualized Education Program elements.

Agile methods have become an appealing alternative for companies striving to improve their perfor-
mance, but the methods were originally designed for small and individual teams. This creates unique
challenges when introducing agile at scale, when development teams must synchronize their activities,
and there might be a need to interface with other organizational units. In this paper we present a system-
atic literature review on how agile methods and lean software development has been adopted at scale,
focusing on reported challenges and success factors in the transformation. We conducted a systematic lit-
erature review of industrial large-scale agile transformations. Our keyword search found 1875 papers. We
included 52 publications describing 42 industrial cases presenting the process of taking large-scale agile
development into use. Almost 90% of the included papers were experience reports, indicating a lack of
sound academic research on the topic. We identified 35 reported challenges grouped into nine categories,
and 29 success factors, grouped into eleven categories. The most salient success factor categories were
management support, choosing and customizing the agile model, training and coaching, and mindset and
alignment.

. Introduction
Agile methods were originally designed for use in small, single-
eam projects ( Boehm and Turner, 2005 ). However, their shown
nd potential benefits have made them attractive also outside this
ontext, particularly both for larger projects and in larger compa-
ies. This despite the fact that they are more difficult to implement
n larger projects ( Dybå and Dingsøyr, 2009 ). Compared to small
rojects, which are ideal for agile development, larger ones are
haracterized.

How to Create a More Engaging and Human Online Learning Experience Wahiba Chair Training & Consulting
Wahiba Chair's Talk at the 2024 Learning Ideas Conference. How to Setup Warehouse & Location in Odoo 17 Inventory
In this slide, we'll explore how to set up warehouses and locations in Odoo 17 Inventory. This will help us manage our stock effectively, track inventory levels, and streamline warehouse operations.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
