Infant Mortality Rates

/in /by

Task 1: Infant Mortality Rates

The U.S. has higher infant mortality rates than other developed nations. In the course project, you will examine many aspects of this issue. Begin your investigation of infant mortality rates in the U.S. by gathering and analyzing statistical data.

  • Gather data about infant mortality rates in various countries. Identify five countries that have the lowest infant mortality rates and five countries that have the highest infant mortality rates.
  • Find out the infant mortality rate in the U.S. and evaluate how the U.S. ranks in comparison to your chosen countries.

* Create a tables that is helpful to present numerical data.

Sbelief that the constitution is a living document and should be interpreted according to changing times and values? Political science homework help

/in /by

Everyone, Thomas has made reference to the notion that the Constitution, for want of a better term, is a living document, open to interpretation.  That’s an incredibly contentious statement in today’s America, which seems to be divided between that statement, and one which begins with “If it was good enough for James Madison, it ought to be good enough for all of us”.

In addition it speaks to the scrutiny we place not only on sitting SC justices, but prospective ones as well. How do they view the Constitution?  Should judges be appointed only if they pledge to uphold the Constitution as written and intended by the Founding Fathers, or should the court accept justices who practice judicial interpretivism; a belief that the constitution is a living document and should be interpreted according to changing times and values?

APA Style Paper on The Louisiana Purchase

/in /by

For the final Portfolio Project, you will write a paper about a person or an event in a period of U.S. history up to Reconstruction that is relevant to your major area of study or of interest to you. You will write about this person or event from the perspective of another historical personality who lived at the same time as the person or event you are going to describe.

For your historical personality, try to select someone from an under-represented population (examples of possible perspectives include that of Anne Hutchinson, Pocahontas, or Sojourner Truth). This analysis is to make you think about how events/people’s actions were interpreted at the time.

Key Points::

  • Remember that you will be writing from the perspective of a historical person about another person or an event from a period of U.S. history up to Reconstruction. From your historical person’s perspective, provide a thorough summary of the person or event you’ve chosen to write about, including the incidents that took place and any key individuals involved or affected.
  • Address the general importance of the person or event in the context of U.S. history.
  • Now, explain specifically how the person or event changed “your” daily life—“you” being the historical persona you have adopted.
  • Think long-term: How will the person or the event you are describing make a long-term impact in the lives of people who are in the under-represented group to which your historical person/perspective belongs?

Paper Requirements:

  • Your paper must be four to six pages, not including the required references and title pages.
  • Use at least five sources, not including the textbook. Include a scholarly journal article. Include at least one primary source from those identified in the syllabus. Definition of a Primary Source: A primary source is any source, document or artifact that was created at the time of the event. It was usually created by someone who witnessed the event, lived during or even shortly afterwards, or somehow would have first-hand knowledge of that event. A secondary source, by contrast, is written by a historian or someone writing about the event after it happened.
  • Have an introduction and strong thesis statement. Make use of support and examples supporting your thesis
  • Finish with a forceful conclusion reiterating your main idea.
  • Format your paper according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.

Attached is Week 2’s Portfolio Milestone with Thesis.

Annotated Bibliography based on Essay Provided 5 Sources Minimum

/in /by

Options #1: Bibliography of Sources (paper)

  1. Create a bibliography of sources you plan to use for your Portfolio Project (read the full description of the Portfolio Project options in the Module 8 folder).
  2. You should have at least five sources—one of which must be a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article–to support your paper. Include at least one primary source from those identified in the syllabus.
  3. Please annotate each source with 1-3 sentences that explain why you chose the resource and how you will utilize it in your paper.
  4. Each source should be formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.
  5. You are free to decide whether to use these sources in your final Portfolio Project paper or presentation – this draft is intended to be a starting point for your paper (much as you would gather the ingredients together for a cake before you start to bake).
  6. Post your bibliography in the Portfolio Project thread on the Week 4 Discussion Board.
  7. Include with your bibliography a paragraph explaining where you found your sources and any difficulties you continue to have with your project.

ASSIGNMENT CLASS 2

CASE STUDY

1 / 15

Instructions :

The written memorandum must be submitted by January 19 at noon, on

You are employed by one of the two companies involved in the situation described below. Which company will be indicated to you.

You will have to write a memorandum containing between 1.000 and 2.000 words explaining what you think the legal situation of the company is. You will be careful to present the case in the best light for your company, and with the strongest arguments you can find in favor of your company. It would also be a good idea to try to anticipate the arguments of the other company, and prepare your own arguments to refute them.

There is one important rule to remember: NEVER INVENT NEW FACTS. Stick to what is described here. Ask for clarifications if needed.

You should pay attention to the following:

 what are the legal issues? (i.e. points that can be discussed from a legal perspective)

 for each issue, what arguments can be presented in favor of your company?

 what are the strengths and the weaknesses of those arguments?

 determine which articles of the CISG best support the claim of your company?

 determine which articles of the CISG can be used to oppose the other party’s claim?

To help you in your task, please take note of the following:

1/ in order to simplify things and avoid getting lost in the Convention on International Contracts for the Sale of Goods, only consider the articles that are provided inside of this document (see page 6). Do not refer to other articles, even when they seem relevant.

2/ in order to allow you to go further in the analysis of the articles of the CISG provided, you may use extra material that can be accessed online, and is linked to the articles of the CISG listed below (see page 6 below). It will only be useful to refer to the material you will find there when the legal situation is ambiguous, and, on the face of the text of the CISG, seems to be able to be argued both ways (both in favor of your company, or in favor of the other company). If and when you use what you read online, make sure to make clear references that I can check afterward, for example in a footnote, with a link to the document.

2 / 15

3/ you do not have to refer to any scholarly writing, but you may do so if you think that would be helpful.

Try to be as organized as possible, break down the case in several different points that you will discuss one after the other.

For each point, start by stating what the problem is, then refer to the law (text of the relevant legislation, for example the CISG, or reference to the Rome I Regulation, etc.), then discuss how the law applies to the facts, and conclude. Ability to present your arguments clearly will be taken into account in final grade.

The pleadings are a summary of your written submission.

The main difference is that you will have to stress the arguments in favor of your company, and you will have to be more more concise since you will not have a lot of time to speak.

Each student in the team must take part in the pleadings.

Each team will have 8 minutes to plead (+2 minutes rebuttal). Defendant will start for 8 minutes, then Claimant will be allowed to speak for 8 minutes. After that, Defendant may speak again for 2 minutes for a quick answer to the arguments of Claimant, and Claimant may speak again 2 minutes to answer to that.

The pleadings should have this structure:

  • very short summary of the facts from the point of view of your company (max. 1 minute)
  • discussion of issues about jurisdiction of the tribunal
  • discussion about the merits of the contract issues

    • Grade will be determined as follows:

     written submission: 50%

     oral pleadings: 50%

    3 / 15

    1/ The facts of the case

    Dubon S.A. is a major building company that is based in Boulogne-Billancourt (France). It specializes in building shopping malls and big commercial outlets, and has been a very successful business (€180,000,000 turnover in 2018). One of its latest projects involves building a supermarket near Lyon. Dubon’s client insists that the new supermarket meet very high energy saving standards, and, for that reason, Dubon has had to design the place in a whole new manner, using modern materials and techniques to reduce energy spending while maintaining building costs acceptably low.

    For that reason, Dubon has elected to install geothermal hybrid heat pumps (GHHP) for the cooling (in summer) and heating (in winter) of the building. The cost of the installation is higher than that of a standard system, but in the long run it should provide savings because of its high efficiency, and it is also “greener” than a standard installation for the same reasons. The client therefore agrees to Dubon’s plans to use GHHP in the building. There is plenty of time to manufacture and install the heat pumps since the building only has to be completed in July of 2020. As long as the heat pumps can be incorporated into the building no later than March 2019, the project will be delivered in time.

    This technology is not very much developed in France yet, so that Dubon SA contacts an American firm, HeatSink Inc., to procure the GHHPs that are needed to complete the works. HeatSink is a small American company based in Seattle, Washington (US), that has been designing and constructing high quality, very efficient heat pumps for the American market for more than 20 years, and has some cutting-edge technology.

    Ms Mercadier, who is the Project Supervisor for the construction of the supermarket at Dubon S.A., gets in touch with Mr Hockett, who is the World Sales Representative for HeatSink in the US. HeatSink does not have representatives in Europe, and most contacts with European clients happen by way of email, except for the initial contact, which is a phone conversation.

    Ms Mercadier inquires about the existence of a model of pumps that would satisfy the needs of Dubon’s client, and the conversation gives her satisfaction. She then enters into an exchange of emails with Mr Hockett to discuss the contract of sale between the two companies (Exhibits 1 to 4 below).

    After the emails were exchanged, HeatSink Inc. prepared the order of 10 heat pumps for shipping. They were packaged, and a freight forwarder took them in charge on November 3rd 2018 (The shipment was not made under an INCOTERM.). At the same time, Dubon SA ordered its bank to pay the two instalments, which was received by HeatSink’s bank. The pumps are delivered on

    4 / 15

    November 30th, when the agreed delivery date was December 1st.

    However, upon delivery, Mr Büchner, the lead engineer of Dubon SA on site, realizes that

    the electrical specifications indicated in the contract are not met by the pumps: the employees of HeatSink Inc. forgot that the power supplies of the machines should be adapted to French power specifications. This technical requirement was made clear in the contract (see Exhibit 4).

    For Dubon SA, the cost of having a French company replace all relevant electrical components and power supply would amount to US$9,000. They require HeatSink Inc. to pay them that amount of money. (see Exhibit 5)

    HeatSink Inc. are sure they can fix the machines more easily, and at a lesser cost. Their engineers estimate that it would cost them between $4,000 and $6,000 to do the repair themselves, on site, in France, all included. Therefore, HeatSink Inc. offer to remedy the defect of the heat pumps themselves. Dubon SA answer they insist on receiving $9,000 (see Exhibits 6 to 9).

    HeatSink Inc. consider that, given more time, they could perform the contract satisfactorily, and that their offer to cure is reasonable. They reject any claim that they would have to pay $9,000 damages.

    Dubon SA need the pumps, and, therefore, they do not want to avoid the contract. They would like to claim damages instead, in the amount of US$9,000 for replacing the power supply.

    HeatSink Inc. introduces an action in court in France. The French court agrees that the proceedings will be in English. HeatSink Inc. consider that the contract is governed by the law of the State of Washington. They ask for the application of the CISG. They want to be given an occasion to cure under article 48.

    Dubon SA considers that the contract is governed by French law. They reject application of the CISG. They refuse to let HeatSink Inc. cure their bad performance, and they want to be paid $9,000 in damages.

    Questions to be discussed before the court:

  • what is the domestic law applicable to the dispute?
  • is the CISG applicable to the dispute?
  • when was the contract formed?
  • under the CISG, art. 35, is there a breach of contract?
  • under the CISG, art. 48, does HeatSink Inc. have a right to cure the lack of conformity? can

    • Dubon SA obtain the $9,000 they are claiming?

    2/ Relevant articles of the CISG

    (do not use any other CISG article than those listed here)

    Article 1

A proposal is sufficiently definite if it indicates the goods and expressly or implicitly fixes or makes provision for determining the quantity and the price. […]

    Article 18

    (1) A statement made by or other conduct of the offeree indicating assent to an offer is an acceptance. Silence or inactivity does not in itself amount to acceptance.

    (2) An acceptance of an offer becomes effective at the moment the indication of assent reaches the offeror. […]

    Article 23

    A contract is concluded at the moment when an acceptance of an offer becomes effective in accordance with the provisions of this Convention. […]

However, the buyer retains any right to claim damages as provided for in this Convention. […]

    Article 74 (see: http://www.cisg.law.pace.edu/cisg/biblio/knapp-bb74.html)

    Damages for breach of contract by one party consist of a sum equal to the loss, including loss of profit, suffered by the other party as a consequence of the breach. Such damages may not exceed the loss which the party in breach foresaw or ought to have foreseen at the time of the conclusion of the contract, in the light of the facts and matters of which he then knew or ought to have known, as a possible consequence of the breach of contract.

    Dear Mr Hockett,

    I am very pleased to say that we seem to have received the shipment.

    However, our engineers have determined that the GHHPs received do not confomr to contractual specs.

    We have determined that the heat pumps you have delivered do not conform to French power supply standards. As they are, they cannot be connected to the power grid, and are therefore useless to us.

    Our engineers have determined that a small modification of the machines will be necessary to be able to operate them in France. There is a French company that we have worked with in the past and that we trust can do the modification. Their price for this operation is $9,000. We are hereby requesting that you pay this price in damages to us, so that we can contract with them.

    We deeply apologize for this inconvenience. This accident does not reflect the high quality standards HeatSink sets in manufacturing its products.

    We would like to offer a different solution from the one you suggested in your email of Nov. 1st. We have built those machines, and we are best equipped to modify them.

    We will fly the parts and two of our technicians to France immediately, to work on those modifications you mentioned.

    The technicians could arrive on site on November 6th, in two days. It would take them 3no more than 2 days to replace all the parts that need to be replaced.

    Thank you again for your offer. Again, I must refuse, and insist you give us the $9,000 we need. As long as the payment is not made we cannot hire the repair company and make the needed modifications.

    If you delay much longer we will have to ask for damages to compensate the fact that the works have been delayed because of your failing to deliver properly functioning heat pumps. If we cannot meet our deadline with our client, we will have you pay any penalties we are required to pay ourselves.

    Yours sincerely, Maude Mercadier

    Fallacies of Relevance, philosophy homework help

    /in /by

    Part 1

    Some premises are relevant to a claim; some are not. Relevant premises can be positive or negative. Decide whether each of these groups of statements contains a positively relevant premise, a negatively relevant premise, or an irrelevant premise. Give reasons to justify your answers.

    1. The sky is blue. Therefore, the Supreme Court will decide in favor of gay marriage.
    2. Matthew and Jane are parents of a daughter. They are both over six feet tall so probably their daughter will be tall.
    3. If taxes on cigarettes continue to rise and sales decrease, the situation will put people out of work. So, cigarettes do not cause cancer.
    4. Most people believe the morning after pill should be sold without prescription. Therefore, the recent ruling should stand that makes it available over the counter.
    5. Angela is a senior in high school. Therefore, Angela probably has a PhD.

    Part 2

    Determine whether there are fallacies of relevance in the following passages. If there is a fallacy, identify the type of fallacy. If you do not find a fallacy, note that there is no fallacy. Explain your answers.

    1. All of the popular kids at Jordan High drive SUV’s. If you want to be popular, this is what you should ask your parents to get for you.
    2. Senator Smith argued that violent pornography should be outlawed. Senator Smith obviously believes that there should be government censorship of books, magazines, movies, etc. No one should take such an extreme view seriously.
    3. Representative Jones argued that there should not be limits to malpractice claims in this state. He says that when a patient is harmed, a large award is the only way to help the patient and the only way to put pressure on doctors to be more careful.

    In evaluating the CDP, an additional score will be assigned to the quality of writing, organization, and graphics, and depth of research.

    FORMAT: Word document, single-spaced, proper APA documentation and reference lists.

    To exceed the ‘satisfactory work’ level, students should reference at least 5 sources in the paper, in addition to course materials. Raw data tables and measurement tools like survey questions should be placed in an appendix at the end of the paper. As part of this project, students must design one measurement tool. If measurement data already exist, the student must consult with the instructor regarding the appropriateness of these results for the CDP. Since this is a research project, we will strictly apply the APA guidelines for documentation and citations.

    In prior Communication Assessment courses, students have assessed company e-newsletters and publications, intranets, public websites, corporate Facebook Pages, marketing communication campaigns, online communities, fundraising campaigns, and ad campaigns.
