After inheriting a large sum of money Larry decided to indulge his passion for
swimming and entered into a contract with Swimming Pools R US to construct an outdoor swimming pool in the garden of his house.

The pool was to be 50 feet long by 15 feet wide by 6 feet deep, and was to be
cleaned by a special non-chlorine based filter system. The pool was due to be finished in March and Larry entered into another contract with Colin to landscape his garden starting on 1 May.

Pools R US finished the pool on 15 March. However, when Larry came to try it for the first time he found that it was only 5 feet deep. In addition, Pools R US had not installed the non-chlorine filter system but had instead used an ordinary chlorine based system. As a result, Larry, who unknown to Pools R US was highly allergic to chlorine, suffered a severe reaction and had to take a week off his work and as a result lost a potentially lucrative contract.

On 1 April, Colin informed Larry that he was too busy to do his garden and that
he would have to get someone else to do it. The only person available, however, will charge Larry $1000 more than Colin agreed for doing the work.

Discussion:

Analyze the scenario from the perspective of the law of contract, advising Larry:

(a) Whether he can require Pools R US to reconstruct the swimming pool in order to make it the agreed depth, and if not, what alternative action is available to him?

(b) What, if any, action can he take against Pools R US as a consequence of their failure to fit the chlorine free filter?

(c) Whether he can require Colin to undertake the work on the garden, and if not, what alternative action is available to him?

Respond to the article below:

When a company is looking to expand into a foreign market there are many decisions that they must make including which market, when, and what exit strategy they have. However, one is the most important decisions that a company has when considering expansion into another company is how they will expand. There is both organic expansions and a host of inorganic expansion options for a company to consider each with their advantages and disadvantages. A company needs to assess which option works best for them.

Exporting- Exporting is when a company simply moves supplies to a market from their original host country. Some advantages to exporting are lower costs as no manufacturing facilities are set up and it allows a company to learn more about the culture and economics without a strong commitment. Two disadvantages to exporting are high transportation costs and some products aren’t best produced at home or are so inexpensive that exporting doesn’t make sense.

Turnkey projects- Turnkey projects are where a local firm sets up a plant and trains the staff for a foreign client and once established the client simply takes over. Advantages are that a turnkey project is less risky especially in areas where there is economic or political uncertainty and turnkey projects allow ways around government controlled markets. Disadvantages to a turnkey project are strategy as there are no long term interests in the country if it becomes successful, and that a turnkey project can actually create competitors from the partnership.

Licensing- Licensing is intangible assets are shared between 2 partners for an agreed upon timeframe in exchange for royalties. Licensing is typically used in the manufacturing industry. Advantages to licensing is little to no costs to set up development and lower risk as no assets are purchased. It is also a work around for when barriers to investment exist. Finally licensing is valuable when a company has a technology doesn’t want to development themselves. A disadvantage of licensing is that the firm does not have tight control and it limits the firm’s ability to realize experience curve and location economies by producing its product in a centralized location. It also limits the firm’s ability to manage profits especially internationally. A third disadvantage is that you are essentially giving your technology away for someone else to improve upon and use.

Franchising- Franchising is a specialized form of licensing that requires long term commitments the requires the licenses to abide by strict rules. It is mostly used in the service industry. Franchising advantages and disadvantages are similar to licensing although some of the disadvantages are less pronounced.

Joint Ventures – Joint ventures are the establishment of firm that is owned by 2 or more independent companies. Advantages are joint ventures allow a sharing of costs and knowledge of a local company. Disadvantages are that the firm doesn’t have tight control over the subsidiaries that it might need to realize experience curve or location economies. Second, it gives control of a firm’s technology to their partner company.

Wholly Owned Subsidiary- A wholly owned subsidiary is when a company either purchases an existing company or starts a greenfield venture in a foreign country. They own 100% of the stock of the company. Advantages are that it keeps intangible assets within the company and gives a company tight control over operations and money. It also helps realize location and experience curve economics. Disadvantages to wholly owned subsidiaries is that it is the most costly and risky for a company to choose.

Planning Your Ideal Texas Spring Break Vacation

Hot weather, a vibrant party scene, and live music beautifully represent the typical Spring Break in Texas during March. Whether you are planning a spring break vacation with friends or family, there will be a plethora of activities to enjoy in Texas.

Best Beaches in Texas for Spring Break

Nestled along the Gulf of Mexico, Texas boasts some exceptional beaches that are worth checking out during Spring Break. Texas beaches have been the perfect Spring Break vacation spots for college students looking to have a great time for more than half a century. Without a doubt, the following beaches offer guests ample opportunity for fun and sun along the water.

  1. South Padre Island (5460aeb057251) South Padre Island is the ultimate spring break destination for party enthusiasts. Every year, students on break from school and college head to South Padre Island for partying on the beach. The island hosts an annual spring break concert — complete with DJs. Families will also find plenty of things to do here, including dolphin watching, sailing, kiteboarding, and a wide range of excellent dining options.
  2. Port Aransas Also known as Port “A” among vacationers, it often gives South Padre Island a run for its money as a popular Spring Break destination. While Port Aransas’s beaches offer many of the typical Spring Break activities, the nearby Mustang Island is loaded with condos and plenty of white sandy beaches. On the Mustang Island, watersports enthusiasts can enjoy kayaking, while adventure addicts will love hunting for hidden treasure.
  3. Galveston Island Sun yourself on this spectacular Gulf Coast island. Stewart Beach gets packed with visitors during spring break, so if you feel a bit overwhelmed, take a walk through the Seawall Boulevard, or take part in festivals and concerts on East Beach. Relax on sandy beaches, get an adrenaline rush at Schlitterbahn Water Park, or explore the exhibits at Moody Gardens. There is plenty to do and see in this coastal town.

case conceptulization

/in /by

Case conceptualization refers to the process in which one makes sense of a student’s presenting concerns in the context of a theoretical framework. To this end, it refers to how one explains or understands the student’s symptoms, personality characteristics, cognitions, feelings, and behaviors in light of a particular theory or integration of theories. This understanding should lead to the formulation of goals and intervention strategies.

As such, you will use the case of Chris from Units 1– 4 in order to develop a treatment plan that gathers information (IG) and makes decisions (DM) based on the perspectives that have the potential to impact Chris’s mental health. You should specifically focus on multicultural factors and critically analyze (i.e., identify Chris’s presenting concerns) how his lived experiences impact his mental health prior to coming to see you. This paper can be written in a two- to three-page outline format (e.g., bullet points) and should not be a summary of each case summary.

the first part is information gathering and under it, bullet points for decision making. Make sure that you are using peer-reviewed journal articles to support your information gathering. The decision making is bullet points under each paragraph. GO back and watch the video, Make an outline of what Chris is saying. Find articles that support each of his presenting concerns, because that is how you need to slit your paper up. You need to make sure you are covering what is happening with Chris. Make sure that you are citing in APA, both in-text citations and reference.

the paper outline:

1. first paragraph: summarizations of the unit1-4 case video

2. then presenting concerns of the video, such as his biracial issue, his sexual orientation and him being a athletic at the school or his religion. please include the literature review or the article reference to support the concerns.

3. bullet point for the suggestion, or the action you will do as a school counselor for this concerns that Chris have( please use 1st person for this part )

case study 2000

: Integrate knowledge of advanced physiology and pathophysiology across the lifespan with the clinical implications for the advanced practice nurse.

Case Study: Cell Biology and Genetics

Below are several case studies. PICK ONE CASE STUDY AND ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS FOR IT

Case Study Posting Requirements

  1. Make sure all of the topics in the case study have been addressed.
  2. Cite at least three sources; journal articles, textbooks, or evidenced-based websites to support the content.
  3. All sources must be within five years.
  4. Do not use .com, Wikipedia, or up-to-date, etc., for your sources.

Case Study 1

Marsha and Clement are both carriers of sickle cell disease, a disease that is autosomal recessive. Their first child, Amelia, does not have the disease. Marsha and Clement are planning another pregnancy, but they are concerned about their second child having the condition. Clement’s dad died from complications of sickle cell disease shortly before Amelia was born.

  1. Draw a Punnett square to determine the likelihood of Marsha and Clement having a baby with sickle cell disease. What is the chance the baby will be a carrier of the disease, just like the parents?
  2. Marsha suggested to the nurse at the local family planning clinic that if the baby were a boy he might have a higher risk for developing the disease, just like his grandfather. If you were this Practitioner, how would you respond?
  3. When Amelia, who does not have sickle cell disease, grows up and marries someone who does have the disease, how likely is it that her children will have the disease?

Case Study 2

Maria is a sedentary, 68-year-old woman who is overweight. She complains that her hands and feet are always cold, and she tires quickly when cleaning the house. At her most recent visit to her doctor, her blood pressure was 184/98 mm Hg. She has edema around her ankles and legs, and her physician is concerned about an echocardiogram that indicates Maria has an enlarged heart.

  1. Identify two reasons why Maria will have tissue ischemia. How might this lead to hypoxia?
  2. What two early and reversible changes occur to tissue cells when they are hypoxic?
  3. What specific type of cellular adaptation has taken place in Maria’s enlarged heart? What made you come to this conclusion?
  4. Predict why Maria’s heart has become enlarged. Why doesn’t this enlargement give her the same cardiac strength and endurance as a well-trained athlete?

Case Study 3

Kevin worked for 10 years at a uranium mine, excavating uranium for a nearby nuclear power plant. Now, 25 years later, he has small cell lung cancer. Kevin is anorexic and has lost a considerable amount of weight. His muscles are wasting, and he is weak. He tries to move around the house throughout the day but tires easily. It has been difficult for him to access care, and the treatment for his cancer is just starting.

  1. With the ongoing exposure to the ionizing radiation, DNA damage occurred. Outline the three stages of carcinogenesis that occurred after his exposure to radiation.
  2. Kevin is normally a fit and active man, and his wife often commented on how much food he used to eat after a day at mine. Why would there be muscle wasting and weight loss now? Explain your answer using your
  3. knowledge of the metabolic changes seen with cancer.
  4. In some cancer patients, muscle weakness may result from the production of onconeural antigens. Describe the effects of these antigens. What form would this process likely take in Kevin’s situation?

Case Study 4

Felicity is a very busy 29-year-old woman in a professional career. She has diabetes mellitus, and is also pregnant for the first time. Due to her busy schedule, it took her three weeks to visit the family doctor to have the pregnancy confirmed. Felicity became very concerned when her physician asked whether she had been taking folic acid. It was all Felicity could do to remember to manage her insulin levels, and taking folic acid supplements was something she hadn’t even considered. Her doctor told her to take 600 μg of folic acid daily and advised Felicity to return later for maternal serum marker testing.

  1. Explain the potential teratogenic effect of folic acid deficiency on the developing fetus. What other risk factor is noteworthy in Felicity’s case?
  2. What is the benefit of maternal serum marker testing? What other test would be particularly useful to monitor the development of Felicity’s baby in this situation?

  • When is the fetus most vulnerable to the effects of teratogens and why?
