For any of the business-related projects you are familiar with, provide a brief overview to remind everyone of the project. After the overview, describe the project performance measurement and evaluation system. Did it measure the important aspects of the project? Why or why not? What changes would you recommend?

Catherine (wife) and Peter (husband) Mallen had lived together unmarried for some four years when Catherine got pregnant and a marriage was arranged. Peter asked Catherine to sign a prenuptial agreement. Although his financial statement attached to the agreement did not state his income at $560,000 per year, it showed he was wealthy, and she had lived with him for four years and knew from their standard of living that he had significant income. Catherine contends that failure to disclose Peter’s income was a nondisclosure of a material fact when the agreement was drawn up and that accordingly the agreement is not valid. Peter contends that he fully disclosed his net worth and that Catherine was well aware of his significant income. Further, he contends that disparities in the parties’ financial status and business experience did not make the agreement unconscionable.

Please answer ALL of the following questions in your discussion:

Was the agreement obtained through fraud?

Was the agreement obtained through duress?

Was the agreement obtained through nondisclosure of material facts?

Was the agreement unconscionable?

what you feel like are the two most important policy proposals/directions that should be implemented/explored in the US health care system to combat the challenges of an aging population and a distressed Medicare program.

For each policy describe the economic impact (intended and unintended), any political concerns, and justify why the policy is one of the most important in your mind. This should be roughly three paragraphs in length.

Universal Technologies, Inc. has identified two qualified vendors with the capability to supply some of its electronic components. For the coming year, Universal has estimated its volume requirements for these components and obtained price-break schedules from each vendor. (These are summarized as “all-units” discounts in the table below.) Universal’s engineers have also estimated each vendor’s maximum capacity for producing these components, based on available information about equipment in use and labor policies in effect. Finally, because of its limited history with Vendor A, Universal has adopted a policy that permits no more than 60% of its total unit purchases on these components to come from Vendor A.

*For example, if 1400 units are purchased from Vendor A, they cost $56 each, for a total of $78,400.

Professional Development Event Review

Carrier- information Technology (IT)

Part of developing as a professional in any career path is attending events that can further your knowledge of a field. This can be in the form of seminars, webinars, conferences, workshops, and sometimes online training if you are learning a new technical skill. The completion of this assignment requires two parts, which should take up 3-4 pages.

Part 1: Attend 3 (or more) events related to the computing profession and reflect on them. These could be workshops, seminars, training, information sessions, conferences, panels, etc. The Career Fair does not count as a professional development event. Describe what you learned in the event and how it can help you in the future of your career. Also, critique the event and explain how it could have been made better and/or what you particularly liked about it. If you are already working with a company that offers professional development, that will be a great resource to pull from!

Part 2: Imagine that you are an employer in charge of creating a seminar to train or help develop new professionals in your company. Explain your seminar. Some questions to consider answering: What would it be about? Who would it be for? How would you go about presenting it? What do you hope your new employees will gain from the seminar? How will you know they got something from the event?
