History of Arkansas

/in /by

In Arkansas: A Narrative History, ” The single event most profoundly affecting sixteenth-century Native Americans in Arkansas and the mid-south was the 1539-1543 exploration of the regions by the Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto.” As you read chapter three, four and five (and possibly refering back to chapter 2) contemplate the following questions:


a) Why did the Spanish have such an affect?

b) Who established the Arkansas Post and why?

c) If this was the start of colonization how did colonization evolve and what was good or bad about it?


Imagine that you are an outsider looking in on the scene playing out in front of you. In the journal entry reflect on what you are seeing. Write a first person account about it. It needs to be at least 12 well constructed paragraphs including an introduction and conclusion. Do you work in a word document and attach the file.

Budgeting project

Bob and Carol are planning for the birth of their first child exactly four years from today. They are now ready to start their savings plan for the big event. The current hospital cost for having a healthy baby at the local hospital is $6500 after all insurance payments. Pre-natal care for the immediate 12-month period prior to having the baby amounts to $2000 out-of-pocket costs. Carol’s best friend is planning a baby shower, so only a crib, a baby carrier, and other miscellaneous items will be needed, which all cost $1,200 today. However, these items will be purchased and paid for the day of the child’s birth, and the items are expected to increase in costs by 10% each year over the next four years due to inflation.

Bob and Carol now have $500 in cash that they plan to put in the bank in order to cover the all the new costs. Also, Uncle Ted has promised to contribute $1000 at the end of year two, as a present to Bob and Carol for baby expenses.

Currently, Bob and Carol can earn 6% compounded annually on this money. In order to be able to pay cash for all these expenses on the day the baby is born, how much will Bob and Carol have to save, assuming the baby is born exactly four years from today

Questions:

  1. Draw the timeline that illustrates the timing of all the events of the situation described above.
  2. How much will Bob and Carol need to have in the bank on the day the baby is born in order to achieve all their goals?
  3. What amount needs to be saved at the end of each year in order for Bob and Carol to reach their financial goals?

Submission Details:

  • Submit your 2 to 4 page paper in a Microsoft Word document, using APA style.

Critical Thinking, Evaluation, and Deduction Assignment

/in /by

Note: Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with deduction and evaluation by watching the videos listed.

Please analyze Southwest Airlines, identify the reasons why the company has been successful in the unattractive industry, and predict its future. You need to research the company, using a variety of reliable sources such as books, journal articles, library database, trustworthy news media, credible Web sources, etc. After collecting relevant information, you need to evaluate and draw conclusions based on deductive reasoning. Your response should include the following segments:

  1. Operational overview of Southwest Airlines. Why is the company so successful?
  2. Current economic condition of the airline industry. How would this affect Southwest Airlines?
  3. Current operational issues or challenges within Southwest Airlines. How can Southwest Airlines take on the issues or challenges?
  4. Trends for the future within the operational segment. How can Southwest Airlines remain competitive in the future?

To effectively address the above questions, you are expected to write an evaluation essay (with the headings preferred) using deductive reasoning. Here are a few tips:

  • The purpose of an evaluation essay is to present an opinion or viewpoint on a subject or body of work. The writer should firstly provide a summary of the article in question, then present a point-of-view supported with clear examples and evidence, using a thorough, well-structured argument so that the evaluation seems reasoned and unbiased.
  • Deductive reasoning starts with a general principle and deduces that it applies to a specific case. Deductive reasoning moves with exacting precision from the assumed truth of a set of premises to a conclusion which cannot be false if those premises are true. Explain the deductive reasoning process applied to analyze the firm’s performance.

The Critical Thinking, Evaluation, and Deduction Assignment has been extended until next Wednesday (11/14/18). Please use the Modules link for accessing the critical thinking videos and assignment. Be sure to first watch all the videos associated with the assignment, then follow the assignment instructions for completing the written portion for submission. Post your essay in Canvas by the end of next Wednesday (11/14/18). The following tips and resources, in general, should help you with written submissions for this course:

Criminal Law

/in /by

This is for California State

Billy and Debbie were having trouble paying their rent and meeting their other monthly expenses. They were strapped for cash and needed to make money fast. One night after a few beers, they decided they would rob the local convenience store. Together, they came up with a list of items they needed to carry out the robbery. The list included guns, masks, the car to be used, and the date and approximate time for the crime.

On the day they planned to rob the bank, Billy and Debbie parked across the street from the convenience store, but before they exited the car, Billy saw a vehicle that he believed to be “suspicious” so he started driving out of the parking lot. As Debbie and he pulled out of the parking lot, he was surrounded by police and ordered out of the car.

The police searched the car and found two firearms, two masks, two false identifications and two small duffle bags. Unbeknownst to Billy, Debbie was a government informant who was wearing a wire.

For this week’s discussion, conduct research and locate your state’s statutes that you feel are relevant to the scenario.

For your first post, after reviewing applicable statutes, address the following:

  • What crimes, if any, do you feel that Billy has committed or that he should be charged with?
  • What specific facts from the scenario match the elements of the specific offenses?
  • What arguments or defenses might Billy raise?
    • Will he be successful in making these arguments/raising these defenses?

Respond to a classmate who chose an approach different from the one you chose (I chose Montessori). After reading the response, decide if you would still make your choice or if their post has caused you to reconsider. Explain why or why not. 5 sentences or more.

Waldorf Approach:

The Waldorf approach is educational atmosphere that is loving warmth and guidance that promotes joy, wonder, and positive energy in the classroom for children. The most important factor of the Waldorf approach is the inner attitude of the educator. Therefore the work of the Waldorf educator demands an ongoing process of research and self-education including anthroposophical study, meditative practice, artistic and practical activity.

In the environments of the nursery, home care programs, childcare centers, parent child programs ,and other educational settings the foundation are on

  1. healthy development
  2. lifelong physical
  3. social
  4. emotional
  5. intellectual
  6. spiritual growth
  7. Activities in Waldorf early childhood education take into consideration the age-specific developmental needs of young children, from a focus on will-oriented physical activity in the first three years, then on imaginative play in the middle years of early childhood, and later a more cognitive approach to learning after the child enters school.

Here are some of Waldorf characteristics:

Loving interest in and acceptance of each child

  • Opportunities for self-initiated play with simple play materials as the essential activity for young children.
  • This is the young child’s work and makes it possible for them to digest and understand their experiences.
  • Awareness that young children learn through imitation, through the experience of diverse sensory impressions, and through movement. Their natural inclination is to actively explore their physical and social environment. The surroundings offer limits, structure and protection, as well as the possibility to take risks and meet challenges.
  • A focus on real rather than virtual experiences to support the child in forming a healthy relationship to the world.
  • Artistic activities such as storytelling, music, drawing and painting, rhythmic games, and modeling that foster the healthy development of imagination and creativity.
  • Meaningful practical work such as cooking, baking, gardening, handwork and domestic activity that provide opportunities to develop unfolding human capacities. Here the emphasis is on the processes of life rather than on learning outcomes.
  • Predictable rhythms through the day, week and year that provide security and a sense of the interrelationships and wholeness of life. Seasonal and other festivals are celebrated according to the cultural and geographical surroundings.

Module 05 Course Project – Executive Summary

/in /by

Please read attachments first and make the topic the same for this assignment.

Before you submit the final version of your Strategic Management Plan, the last piece you need to create is an Executive Summary. This should be the first page in the final version of your plan. It’s meant to be something that an executive could quickly read in order to get a basic understanding of the overall strategic management plan. Due to its purpose, the executive summary should be a thorough and concise summary clearly depicting the content of the plan. Give an overview of the goal you’re trying to accomplish, any major findings in your research, the reasoning behind the goal, and any major obstacles you foresee. It should be treated as a document ready to be turned into an executive director, board of advisors, investor, etc. Therefore, format and style (presentation) is very important.

Business Law: F-IRAC 1 question with explanation

/in /by

Choose ONLY ONE of these two questions for your Extra Credit Agency Final, and develop a complete F-IRAC following the prompts provided

Employee v. Independent Contractor Status

Anthony Thom’s was hired by Jonathan Quick of Sun Vacations, Inc., to create a computer program for Sun Island to use in maintaining records of its cash receipts, inventory, sales, figures, and other data. No agreement was reached as to ownership rights in the program that Thom’s de­veloped, called CRISOD. Thom’s did most of his programming at the Sun Vacations office. Although Quick gave Thom’s frequent instructions as to what he wanted from the pro­gram, Thom’s generally worked alone and enjoyed considerable autonomy in his work. He worked regular hours, but he was not always paid by the hour—occasionally, he submitted bills (invoices) to Sun Vacations for his work. Thom’s never received any em­ployee benefits, such as health insurance, and Sun Vacations never withheld federal and state taxes from Thom’s paycheck; nor did it pay any Social Security taxes on Thom’s earn­ings. When Quick unilaterally cut Thom’s hours in violation of an alleged oral agree­ment, Thom’s left Sun Vacations and demanded compensation for Sun Vacations’ use of CRISOD. Quick refused to pay Thom’s for the program’s use and also stated that he would not pay Thom’s $14,560 in back wages unless Thom’s signed a form releasing all rights in CRISOD. Thom’s then sued Quick and Sun Vacations for copyright infringement, and the court had to decide who owned the copyright in the program.

Do not discuss copyright law beyond what is presented in the text. Central to the de­termination of this issue was whether Thom’s was an employee of Sun Vacations or an inde­pendent contractor. Using F-IRAC determine the rights to CRISOD based on Thomas status at Sun Vactaions

Agent/Principal Liability

Tom works as a traveling salesperson for his company Steel Products Inc. Tom has a specific geographic area in which to solicit orders and service companies during assigned time periods. He has been provided a company car for this purpose. When his company car is in the shop for maintenance Tom takes his personal car to use covering his sales calls. Having finished all of his calls in Steeltown before noon he leaves for Coaltown for his next appointment at 2 pm. Knowing that Coaltown is only 20 miles away he decides part way down the road to visit an old college friend who lives just 10 miles off the main road. Tom suddenly realizes that it is 1:45 pm and he will be late for his first appointment in Coaltown. In his rush to get back to the main road, Tom crashes his car into a tractor severely injuring JohnJohn the tractor driver who files a complaint against Steel Products for his injuries.

Use F-IRAC to analyze Steel Products liability to JohnJohn
