Scenario 1: Bankruptcy Celia graduated from a prestigious law school two years ago. Celia’s parents did not have the resources to help her pay for college. For the past seven years, Celia accumulated almost $150,000 in debt for student loans for her undergraduate and law degrees. After graduation, Celia opened her own jury consulting business as a sole proprietor. Her new business was not doing well. Celia earned approximately $35,000 after her business expenses were paid. Remembering her class in bankruptcy from law school, Celia believed that if she filed a voluntary Chapter 7 petition that all of her debts would be discharged and she could start over. Is Celia entitled to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy? Why or why not? Assume Celia is eligible to file Chapter 7. Will the credit card debt and student loans be discharged? Why or why not? On May 1, Celia filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. At that time and for at least four months prior to that time, she was unable to pay all of her current obligations. On March 15, Celia paid the following expenses: her monthly personal credit card payment, her home mortgage, the rent for her consulting office, and the electric bill for both her business and her home. The trustee in bankruptcy claimed that some of these payments were voidable preferences. Is the trustee correct? If so, which payment(s) is a voidable preference and why? Scenario 2: Property Frankie Smith age 12, lived with his mother, Vanessa Smith, in a rental house next to a farm owned by Daphne and Brandon Brown. On the back of the farm property was a small creek that had good fishing, but there were deadly piranha in the waters. Frankie would often sneak onto the farm property to fish. One day, while fishing on the farm, he was bitten by a piranha and severely injured. While running to help her son on the farm property, Vanessa tripped on a wire and broke her leg. The Smiths sue the Browns for their injuries. Explain whether theBrowns owe a duty of care to Frankie and Vanessa. Please use APA format for your references .

Tricia and Troy are starting a pharmacy. After meeting with their at.docx
Tricia and Troy are starting a pharmacy. After meeting with their attorney and accountant, they decide they want to begin using the simplest form of business organization they can. However, their primary concern is personal liability. They don’t want to jeopardize their personal assets for business obligations. They’ll also need to obtain financing to get the business started. A few investors have expressed some interest, but they’ll invest their money only if they receive some stake in the business or some possibility of return for their investment. The investors want to have no part in running the business and want to be sure they have no liability for business debts. What form of business organization would you recommend? Why? Explain why other forms of business organizations wouldn’t meet their needs.

2: Module 2 - M2 Assignment 2
Assignment 2: Case Analysis: John Smith
Obtaining informed consent for services from clients is required of human services providers; however, it is not always an easy task. Clients typically grant consent by signing documents presented by the agency or the provider that, at minimum, explain the services that will be provided, the client rights, and information on the steps to rescind the consent.
In situations where minors or individuals under some form of guardianship are the clients, it is necessary to obtain consent from the legal guardian or authority. However, there are times when obtaining informed consent is not as simple as asking for a signature from the client or guardian. These situations require more thought by the human services providers with emphasis on balancing the client's right to consent with other factors that might influence treatment outcomes or decisions.
In this assignment, you will review a case that illustrates the various facets of informed consent.
The Case:
Smith is a thirty-eight-year-old African American male referred for counseling by his mother to address recent incidents of aggression. Smith resides with his mother because he is not able to live on his own. Smith is unable to hold on to a job and has difficulty establishing and maintaining relationships with others. He is open to counseling but thinks his mother is overreacting to his anger outbursts because she is old and does not understand him. Recently, there have been notable conflicts between them due to Smith's aggressive behaviors that were directed toward his mother.
Tasks:
Analyze the case and in a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:
What steps would you, as the counselor, take for obtaining informed consent from Smith?
Would you, as the counselor, include his mother in the counseling sessions, if you believe it would help with Smith's aggression problem? Why or why not?
In your answers, consider the following:
Smith is not able to live independently.
Smith's aggression might put his mother at risk if he does not get counseling.
Smith has to comprehend what is being asked of him when he provides his consent to receive counseling services.
There might be cultural differences between you and Smith.

Question 1For three generations, the Dexter family has sent its .docx
Question 1
For three generations, the Dexter family has sent its children to Private University, preparing them for successful professional careers. The Edna Dexter Trust was established in the 1950’s by LaKeisha’s Late grandmother and has accumulated a sizeable corpus. It makes distributions to Edna’s descendants rarely , and then only when they need large capital amounts. For example, two years ago, the trust distributed $500,000 to DiJuan Dexter to aid him in starting a practice in retirement and elder law. In most years, the trust’s income is donated to a single charity.
Under the terms of the trust, Bigby Dexter, LaKeisha’s uncle and legal guardian, can specify the trust beneficiaries and the amounts to be distributed to them. He also can replace the trustee and designate the charity that will receive the year’s contribution.
Accordingly, the trust falls under the grantor trust rules of §678, and Bigby reports the trust’s transactions on his own form 1040.
LaKeisha wants to attend the prestigious local Academy High School, which will require a four-year expenditure for tuition and fees of $100,000, payable in advance. She approaches the Edna Dexter trustee and requests a current-year distribution of this amount, payable directly to the Academy. Under the laws of the state, the parent or guardian has the responsibility to provide a child with a public school education (no tuition charge) until age 16.
If the payment to the Academy is made, how is treated under the Subchapter J rules: as a charitable contribution to the Academy, as a corpus distribution to LaKeisha, or in some other manner.
Question2
In each of the following independent cases, write a memo for the tax research file in preparation for a meeting with Gary. In each memo, explain whether the proposed plan meets his objective of shifting income and avoiding the grantor trust rules.
a. Gary transfers property in trust, income payable to Winnie (his wife) for life, reminder to his grandson. Gary’s son is designated as the trustee.
b. Gary transfers income-producing assets and a life insurance policy to a trust, life estate to his children, remainder to his grandchildren. The policy is on Winnie’s life, and the trustee (an independent trust company) is instructed to pay the premiums with income from income-producing assets. The trust is designated as the beneficiary of the policy.
c. Gary transfers property in trust. The trust income is payable to Gary’s grandchildren, as Winnie sees fit. Winnie and an independent trust company are designated as trustees.
d. Gary transfers property in trust, income payable to Winnie (Gary’s ex-wife), remainder to Gary or his estate upon Winnie’s death. The transfer was made in satisfaction of Gary’s alimony obligation to Winnie. An independent trust company is designated as the trustee.

Question 1Cyrus, the owner of Eden, Inc., died at the end of 2.docx
Question 1
Cyrus, the owner of Eden, Inc., died at the end of 2011. He left all of his assets, including stock in Eden, to his two sons, Adams and Charles. Charles had been involved in the running of Eden, a subchapter S corporation, for many years. He had also been successful at several independent ventures so that his income put him in the highest marginal tax bracket. Adam’s interests , on the other hand, generated little income. He had limited involvement with the family, or the family business, for several years. In fact, he had left the country and given up his citizenship a few years before Cyrus’ death.
Charles was the executor of the Cyrus’ estate. Charles had completed all the work necessary to wrap up the administration of the estate by the end of 2012, but has not distributed its assets or terminated the estate. The estate continues to hold all of the stock of Eden, which barely even after paying Charles’ salary. Its liquid assets generate about $10000 of interest income each year.
Near the end of 2014, Adam contacted you about the estate. He would like to have it wrapped up and receive his share of the property. He says that Charles has told him it is better, for tax purposes, to keep the estate open. In that way, the tax paid on the interest income is reduced, and Eden’s S selection is not jeopardized. What insight can you provide Adam regarding the continued existence of the estate and the potential tax consequences of its termination?
Question 2
Duncan Bennett, a single parent, wants to leave his entire estate to his only child, Bonnie. He knows Bonnie is extravagant and often spends her money foolishly; therefore, he establishes a trust with a spendthrift provision “to protect Bonnie from her own mismanagement and wasteful habits in spending money.” The trust also provides that Bonnie cannot transfer, pledge, or assign her interest in the trust income or principal in any manner and that such interest is not to be subject to any of Bonnie’s creditors’ claims by attachment, garnishment, execution, or other process of law. Answer the following:
1. Are spendthrift trusts valid in all states?
2. Would this trust be valid in your state? If so, cite the statute. (my state is California)
3. If one of Bonnie’s creditors supplies her with property items that are obviously “necessaries,” can that creditor reach (obtain) Bonnie’s trust income despite the spendthrift clause? See Erickson v. Bank of California, 97 Wash.2d 246, 643 P.2d 670 (1982)
Question 3
Amy purchased 20 acres of land from Ben, since Amy was immediately leaving the country to serve in the Peace Corps for two years and was unable to attend the closing, she asked Ben to deed the property to her close friend, Sally. Ben conveyed the property by deed to Sally in her name. When Amy returns, Sally refuses to turn over the property and claims the property was a gift to her from Amy. Amy denies the property was a gift and demands that Sally return the propert ...

Chapter 13 Global Health Challenges
MANY INDIVIDUALS AND NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS (NGOS) HELP FIGHT GLOBAL DISEASE. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation plays a key role in the war against malaria, AIDS, and other diseases. Melinda and Bill Gates met with doctors and patients at the Manhica Research Center and Hospital in an area of Mozambique heavily affected by malaria.
Learning Objectives
1. 13.1Recall the causes and effects of noncommunicable diseases
2. 13.2Evaluate the role of global travel and trade in facilitating the globalization of infectious diseases
3. 13.3Outline the three developments that gave rise to the concept of human security
4. 13.4Describe the three epidemiologic transitions to better understand contemporary concerns about infectious diseases
5. 13.5Report the cause, spread, effects, and control measures of influenza and avian flu
6. 13.6Report the cause, spread, effects, and control measures of malaria
7. 13.7Recognize the causes and preventive measures of HIV
8. 13.8Report the origin, spread, effects, and control measures of SARS
9. 13.9Report the origin, spread, effects, and control measures of Ebola
10. 13.10Outline role of the WHO in preventing the spread of infectious diseases
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and mental illness in general and Alzheimer’s disease in particular are the leading causes of death and disability globally. Long associated with affluent Western standards of living, NCDs are now a global problem. While rich countries are better equipped to deal with chronic diseases, they are far more deadly in poor countries. Growing numbers of old people and the spread of middle-class lifestyles make NCDs more prevalent than infectious diseases. Globalization also contributes to the growth of NCDs by helping expand the global middle class and by promoting fast foods, sugary drinks, alcohol, smoking, processed foods, and sedentary lifestyles. A major global health threat that undermines efforts to cure diseases is the emergence of germs that are resistant to antibiotics. This is due mainly to the excessive use of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture.
Infectious diseases are intertwined with numerous global issues and are inseparable from political, economic, and cultural components of globalization. Ethnic conflicts make populations vulnerable to infectious diseases. Fighting contributes to the collapse of public services, which means that many people die from what would ordinarily be treatable diseases, such as diarrhea and respiratory infections. Conflicts also create refugees, overcrowding, and unsanitary conditions, thereby creating environments conducive to the spread of infectious diseases.
Environmental degradation and deforestation expose humans to a variety of infectious diseases. They also contribute to global warming and flooding,.
Scapegoating is a theory of prejudice and discrimination. Societ.docx
Scapegoating is a theory of prejudice and discrimination. Society looks at the weakest group, and places blame on that group for all ills. That group then becomes the bottom level of society. We've seen this over the past 18 months. Illegal immigrants have been blamed for many issues, in particular crime and unemployment rates. Yet, I know few in my own area who will do the jobs these folks do every day. As for crime, please see the link below for a journal article that addresses this issue. Most crimes committed by immigrants without papers are misdemeanors.
What are your thoughts?

Discussion 3.2: Hypothesis Test Tag Team
Corporate Responsibility 8;
The Social Responsibility of Business Is
to Increase Its Profits
Milton Friedman
When I hear businessmen speak eloquently
about the “social responsibilities of business
in a free-enterprise system,” I am reminded
of the wonderful line about the Frenchman
who discovered at the age of 70 that he had
been speaking prose all his life. The busi
nessmen believe that they are defending free
enterprise when they declaim that business
is not concerned “merely” with profit but
also with promoting desirable “social” ends;
that business has a “social conscience” and
takes seriously its responsibilities for provid
ing employment, eliminating discrimina
tion, avoiding pollution and whatever else
may be the catchwords of the contemporary
crop of reformers. In fact they are—or
would be if they or anyone else took them
seriously—preaching pure and unadulter
ated socialism. Businessmen who talk this
way are unwitting puppets of the intellectual
forces that have been undermining the basis
of a free society these past decades.
The discussions of the “social responsibil
ities of business” are notable for their analyt
ical looseness and lack of rigor. What does it
mean to say that “business” has responsibili
ties? Only people can have responsibilities.
A corporation is an artificial person and in
this sense may have artificial responsibili
ties, but “business” as a whole cannot be said
to have responsibilities, even in this vague
sense. The first step toward clarity in ex
amining the doctrine of the social responsi
bility of business is to ask precisely what it
implies for whom.
Presumably, the individuals who are to be
responsible are businessmen, which means
individual proprietors or corporate execu
tives. Most of the discussion of social respon
sibility is directed at corporations, so in what
follows I shall mostly neglect the individual
proprietors and speak of corporate execu
tives.
In a free-enterprise, private-property sys
tem, a corporate executive is an employee of
the owners of the business. He has direct re
sponsibility to his employers. That responsi
bility is to conduct the business in accord
ance with their desires, which generally will
be to make as much money as possible while
conforming to the basic rules of the society,
both those embodied in law and those em
bodied in ethical custom. Of course, in some
cases his employers may have a different ob
jective. A group of persons might establish a
corporation for an eleemosynary purpose—
for example, a hospital or a school. The
manager of such a corporation will not have
money profit as his objectives but the ren
dering of certain services.
In either case,.

Application Assignment 2: Part 2 - Developing an Advocacy Campaign
The following application, Part 2, will be due in Week 7.
To prepare:
· Review Chapter 3 of Health policy and politics: A nurse’s guide.
· In the first assignment, you reflected on whether the policy you would like to promote could best be achieved through the development of new legislation, or a change in an existing law or regulation. Refine as necessary using any feedback from your first paper.
· Contemplate how existing laws or regulations may affect how you proceed in advocating for your proposed policy.
· Consider how you could influence legislators or other policymakers to enact the policy you propose.
· Think about the obstacles of the legislative process that may prevent your proposed policy from being implemented as intended.
·
To complete:
Part Two will have approximately 3–4 pages of content plus a title page and references. Part Two will address the following:
· Explain whether your proposed policy could be enacted through a modification of existing law or regulation or the creation of new legislation/regulation.
· Explain how existing laws or regulations could affect your advocacy efforts. Be sure to cite and reference the laws and regulations using primary sources.
· Provide an analysis of the methods you could use to influence legislators or other policymakers to support your policy. In particular, explain how you would use the “three legs” of lobbying in your advocacy efforts.
· Summarize obstacles that could arise in the legislative process and how to overcome these hurdles.
Milstead: 3 Legs of Lobbying
“According to Milstead (2013), Leg One of the Three-Legged Stool consists of lobbying which is the act of influencing – the art of persuading-a government entity. “Legislators often rely on lobbyists’ expertise to help them understand what they are voting for or against.” (Milstead, 2013, p. 53). Local State Representatives should be targeted as a champion for the bill and that’s likely where an average voter can begin for their voice to be heard at the local and state levels.Leg Two of the Three-Legged Stool also includes the grassroots lobbyists. The AmericanNurses Association often spear-heads lobbying efforts in the best interest of the public on healthcare related issues and has a strong history of working with Congress on these important issues. “Grassroots lobbyists are constituents who have the power to elect officials through their vote and have expertise and knowledge about a particular issue (such as nurses in healthcare reform debates)” (Milstead, 2013, p. 54). Nurses can become a member of the American Nurses Association or other associations to ensure nurses have a voice on these important issues”

Chapter 13:The Bureaucracy
ADA Text Version
Learning Objectives
1. Describe the formal organization of the federal bureaucracy.
2. Classify the vital functions performed by the bureaucracy.
3. Explain the present Civil Service system and contrast it with the 19th century spoils system.
4. Identify the various factors contributing to bureaucracy's growth over time.
5. Compare the means by which Congress and the president attempt to maintain control over the bureaucracy.
6. Analyze and evaluate the problems that bureaucratic organization poses for American democracy.
Introduction
The very word "bureaucracy" often carries negative connotations. To refer to an institution as a "bureaucracy" or characterize it as "bureaucratic" is usually intended as an insult. But the national bureaucracy, sometimes called the "fourth branch of government", is responsible for practically all of the day-to-day work of governing the country. While bureaucracy in the United States, consistent with our tradition of more limited government, is smaller than its counterparts in other longstanding democracies, its influence extends to almost every corner of American society. From delivery of the mail to regulation of the stock market to national defense, federal employees plan, regulate, adjudicate, enforce, and implement federal law. Despite recurrent calls to "shrink" the size of government, the federal bureaucracy remains the largest single employer in the United States. This lesson examines the bureaucracy's formal organization, its critical role in the American economy and society, and its perceived weaknesses.
Study Questions
1. How did sociologist Max Weber define bureaucracy?
2. Identify the various functions federal bureaucracies perform giving at least one example each:
a. Implementation
b. Regulation
c. Adjudication
d. Enforcement
e. Policy-making

TABLE 2.2 Connecting Knowledge of Development and Learning to Teaching Practices
Principles of Child Development and Learning
Developmentally Appropriate Teaching Practices
Children develop holistically
• Teachers plan daily activities and routines to address aesthetic, emotional, cognitive, language, physical, and social development.
• Teachers integrate learning across the curriculum (e.g., mixing language, physical, and social; combining math, science, and reading).
Child development follows an orderly sequence
• Teachers use their knowledge of developmental sequences to gauge whether children are developing as expected, to determine reasonable expectations, and to plan next steps in the learning process.
Children develop at varying rates
• Teachers give children opportunities to pursue activities at their own pace.
• Teachers repeat activities more than once so children can participate according to changing needs and abilities.
• Teachers plan activities with multiple learning objectives to address the needs of more and less advanced learners.
Children learn best when they feel safe and secure
• Teachers develop nurturing relationships with children and remain with children long enough so children can easily identify a specific adult from whom to seek help, comfort, attention, and guidance.
• Daily routines are predictable. Changes in routine are explained in advance so children can anticipate what will happen.
• There is two-way communication between teachers and families, and families are welcome in the program.
• Children have access to images, objects, and activities that reflect their home experiences.
• The early childhood environment complies with all safety requirements.
• Adults use positive discipline to enhance children’s self-esteem, self-control, and problem-solving abilities.
• Teachers address aggression and bullying calmly, firmly, and proactively.
Children are active learners
• Activities, transitions, and routines respect children’s attention span, need for activity and need for social interaction. Inactive segments of the day are short.
• Children participate in gross motor activities every day.
Children learn through a combination of physical experience, social experience, and reflection
• Adults encourage children to explore and investigate. They pose questions, offer information, and challenge children’s thinking.
• Children have many chances to document and reflect on their ideas.
Children learn through mastery and challenge
• Practitioners simplify, maintain, or extend activities in response to children’s functioning and comprehension.
Children’s learning profiles vary
• Teachers present the same information in more than one modality (seeing, hearing, touching) and through different types of activities.
• Children have opportunities to play on their own and with others; indoors and outdoors; with natural and manufactured materials.

Human Impact on the Environment
Every day, I see the harmful impacts of humans on the environment. Just 13 percent of the globe’s oceans remain unsoiled by humanity’s damaging impacts (Carrington, 2018). In the remotest poles and Pacific areas, most of the ocean has no natural marine wildlife. Pollution, huge fishing fleets, and global shipping along with climate change are all degrading the oceans. The vehicles we drive every day, industrial wastes, overpopulation, and fossil fuels, all have negative effects on the environment. Human activities are negatively affecting the environment by degrading it and sooner or later, the earth will not be able to sustain humans.
Overpopulation is now an epidemic with decreased mortality rates, improved medicine, and food sustainability. We are living longer, which is increasing population. The impact of overpopulation includes environmental degradation due to cutting down of trees to create space. With less trees to filter the air, an increase in carbon dioxide levels is damaging every single organism (Interesting Engineering, 2019). Another effect of overpopulation is overdependence on fossil fuels such as coal and oil, which emit plentiful carbon oxide into the air. With increased population, humans need more space, which damage ecosystems and augment carbon dioxide emissions.
Pollution is another impact of human activities on the environment. From trash, industrial wastes to carbon dioxide emissions into the air, pollutions is inevitable. Over 2.4 billion individuals have no access to sources of clean water. Human activities continue to deplete indispensable resources such as soil, water, and air. United States, for example, produces 147 million metric tons of air pollution annually (Interesting Engineering, 2019). Air quality in developing nations continues to plummet as well. This means that we are engaging in activities that are hurting the environment.
Global warming is one of the greatest causes of environmental degradation contributed by human activities. Some people do not believe that global warming is real. However, that is not true, and its major contributors include carbon dioxide emissions from respiration, deforestation, and burning fossil fuels. Each year, we continue to contribute to levels of carbon dioxide globally. Current levels exceed 400 PPM, and the rise in carbon dioxide emissions are attributed to an increase in global temperatures (Interesting Engineering, 2019). The result is the melting of arctic glaciers and land ice, which will increase sea levels, and have negative effects on oceanic life.
Climate change is another impact on the environment that is being caused by us. It is linked .

Research Summary (paper)
For this assignment you summarize one of the experimental research studies from your research collection.
(I did not make one, feel free to choose any research that has to do with psychology.)
Check out Audris Oh's research summary I put in the files -- it's a great model.
Write your summary in 5 pages or so, basically summarizing each of the major sections - literature review, methods section, results section and discussion. Let the abstract at the beginning of the paper guide you (It's just one paragraph but is a great guide). Why was the study done and how does it fit in with other work in the field (the intro or lit review)? What was the actual experiment (the methods section)? What were the results (the results section)? Why is it important (the discussion section)? Conclude your paper with a personal reaction -- does this fit with what you’ve seen? How might you use any insight the study provides?
Include the pdf of the article (or link to it) and the reference to the article in APA style. Here's an example of a reference:

Review
Mendel’s paper ‘Versuche über Pflanzen-Hybriden’ is the
best known in a series of studies published in the late 18th
and 19th centuries that built our understanding of the
mechanism of inheritance. Mendel investigated the seg-
regation of seven gene characters of pea (Pisum sativum),
of which four have been identified. Here, we review what
is known about the molecular nature of these genes,
which encode enzymes (R and Le), a biochemical regula-
tor (I) and a transcription factor (A). The mutations are: a
transposon insertion (r), an amino acid insertion (i), a
splice variant (a) and a missense mutation (le-1). The
nature of the three remaining uncharacterized characters
(green versus yellow pods, inflated versus constricted
pods, and axial versus terminal flowers) is discussed.

Brassica nigra (B genome) and B. oleracea (C genome) having formed
the amphidiploid species B. juncea (A and B genomes), B. napus
(A and C genomes) and B. carinata (B and C genomes) by hybridiza-
tion. Comparative physical mapping studies have confirmed genome
triplication in a common ancestor of B. oleracea11 and B. rapa12 since
its divergence from the A. thaliana lineage at least 13–17 MYA6,7,13.
Using 72× coverage of paired short read sequences generated by
Illumina GA II technology and stringent assembly parameters, we
assembled the genome of the B. rapa ssp. pekinensis line Chiifu-401-42
and analyzed the assembly (Online Methods and Supplementary Note).
The final assembly statistics are summarized in Table 1. The assembled
sequence of 283.8 Mb was estimated to cover >98% of the gene space
(Supplementary Table 1) and is greater than the previous estimated
size of the euchromatic space, 220 Mb14. The assembly showed excellent
agreement with the previously reported chromosome A03 (ref. 15) and
with 647 bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs)14 (Online Methods)
sequenced by Sanger technology. Integration with 199,452 BAC-end
sequences produced 159 super scaffolds representing 90% of the assem-
bled sequences, with an N50 scaffold (N50 scaffold is a weighted median
statistic indicating that 50% of the entire assembly is contained in scaf-
folds equal to or larger than this value) size of 1.97 Mb. Genetic mapping
of 1,427 markers in B. rapa allowed us to produce ten pseudo chromo-
somes that included 90% of the assembly (Supplementary Table 2).
We found the difference in the physical sizes of the A. thaliana
and B. rapa genomes to be largely because of transposable elements
(Supplementary Table 3). Although widely dispersed throughout the
genome, as shown in Figure 1, the transposon-related sequences were
most abundant in the vicinity of the centromeres. We estimated that
transposon-related sequences occupy 39.5% of the genome, with the
proportions of retrotransposons (with long terminal repeats), DNA
transposons and long interspersed elements being 27.1%, 3.2% and
2.8%, respectively (Supplementary Tables 4 and 5).
We modeled and analyzed protein coding genes (described in the
Online Methods and the Supplementary Note). We identified 41,174
protein coding genes, distributed as shown in Figure 1. The gene models
have an average transcript length of 2,015 bp, a coding length of 1,172
bp and a mean of 5.03 exons per gene, both similar to that observed in
A. thaliana16. A total of 95.8% of gene models have a match in at least
one of the public protein databases and 99.3% are represented among
the public EST collections o.

Scanlon Technologies, Inc. Anne Scanlon founded Scanlon Technol.docx
Scanlon Technologies, Inc.
*
Anne Scanlon founded Scanlon Technologies, Inc., in 1993. The company designed and manufactured high-tech products that were used in various industries ranging from semiconductor to aviation. Over the years, Scanlon Technologies reported a compound annual growth rate in revenues of over 20% due to high demand for the company’s products and Anne’s superior management skills. By the end of 1996, it was clear that any further growth would have to come from international expansion. However, establishing manufacturing operations and opening up sales and marketing offices abroad required a significant amount of capital. Anne considered investing more of her own money into the business; however, given that she already had most of her wealth tied up in the company, she decided against the idea. Moreover, she believed that the amount of funds Scanlon Technologies needed to raise for expansion was in the tens of millions. In her mind, there was only one clear solution—go public.
In September 1996, Anne hired J.P. Suisse, a top tier investment bank, to take Scanlon Technologies public. On January 1, 1997, the company, which was authorized by the State of Delaware to sell 20 million common stock and 10 million preferred stock, issued one million shares of common stock in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol STI. The stock, which had a par value of $1, was sold for $20 per share and climbed to $26 a share by the end of its first trading day.
As expected, the funds raised in the IPO were used to open offices all over the world as well as build a second manufacturing plant in Toronto, Canada. Over the next couple of years, business was good and the company was able to generate enough cash to maintain its level of operations.
In October 1999, Anne learned that Kadehjian
Solution
s Coporation, a competitor, was considering the option of being acquired. Anne believed that such an acquisition would position Scanlon Technologies as the industry leader. One of Kadehjian’s requirements for such an acquisition was that it be an all-cash transaction. Anne knew that this would require Scanlon Technologies to raise approximately $7 million.
Ann contracted J.P. Suisse to discuss raising these funds through the capital markets. The managing directors at J.P. Suisse recommended that Scanlon Technologies employ a combination of debt and equity securities. Anne agreed and on January 1, 2000, the company issued an additional one hundred thousand shares of its $1 par value common stock at $40 per share. On the same day, the company issued $2 million in bonds at 95.8, due in 5 years with 5% interest payable annually (at year end). The market interest rate at the time was 6% per year. Also on January 1, 2000, Scanlon Technologies issued $1.3 million in zero-coupon (i.e. no interest) convertible bonds, also due in 5 years. Each $1,000 bond converted into 20 shares of its commo.

Display thy breasts, my Julia, there let me
Behold that circummortal purity;
Between whose glories, there my lips I'll lay,
Ravished in that fair Via Lactea.

Lately made of flesh and blood,
Who as soon fell fast asleep
As her little eyes did peep.
Give her strewings, but not stir
The earth that lightly covers her.

Scale Ratio Variable Histograms are useful for presenting qu.docx
Scale Ratio Variable
Histograms are useful for presenting quantitative data such as the example variable ADULT_CT which describes the number of individuals per household. The variable measurement is scale ratio and as it depicts a number, a histogram is able to reflect the number of individuals belonging to each variable value or interval of values (Mishra, Pandey, Singh & Gupta, 2018).). Histograms divide the variable into equal intervals as shown below in individuals reported per home. The graph indicates nearly 3,000 reporting and displays the individual numbers per interval. The bar levels of the graph make it is easy to discern the average number reporting as 2 per household.
Nominal Variable
As nominal variables depict qualitative data such as in the variable Q87 which describes the level of trust individuals felt towards others, a pie graph would be beneficial to use as it easily displays each group or individual share in the total being examined (Mishra, Pandey, Singh & Gupta, 2018). For example, the pie graph here which shows what percentage of trust was and wasn’t felt toward others. Graphs like these are appropriate for showing a variable that cannot be ordered or numerical in value such as feelings of trust (Frankfort-Nachmias, Leon-Guerrero & Davis, 2020).
