. The University of Iowa is experimenting with a blend of soil amendments to be used in an analysis of variance study of the response of tomatoes to various amounts of sunlight. To perform this study, all other elements must be controlled so that the only variable is the sunlight. The minimum requirements for calcium, phosphorous, and potassium are 125 pounds, 150 pounds, and 120 pounds respectively. The soil amendment mixture from Prairie Gold consist of 25% calcium, 25% phosphorous, 12½% potassium, and 37½% other ingredients. It costs $0.40 per ounce. The mixture from Grinell Grow is 20% calcium, 25% phosphorous, 25% potassium, and 30% other ingredients. It sells for $0.50 per ounce.
Formulate a linear programming model that will allow the University of Iowa to conduct this experiment using a minimum cost blend of the two soil amendment mixtures.

The purpose of this assignment is to assess personal value in light of professional goals.
In the same way that an organization performs with greater intention and cohesiveness when its employees and stakeholders are all working with a communal sense of purpose toward a shared goal, you will be able to better and more successfully shape your future when you have a clear idea of who you are, the value you offer, and what you ultimately want to achieve. Your personal vision provides the framework for your goals by reflecting your aspirations for the individual you hope to become. And more concretely, your personal mission defines the areas in the industry where you intend to compete and the customers you intend to serve.
Together, your vision and mission statements offer a foundational identity, defining who you intend to serve and in what capacity (your mission), and how those elements will help you shape your intended future (your vision).
Based on what you have read in the study materials, develop your own personal vision and mission statements from the perspective of yourself as a business professional, supported by a goal plan that will enable you to achieve your vision in the next 5 to 10 years.

what comments do you have for these two separate stories concerning emotional intelligence and self awareness?
STORY 1
My teacher and different groups would go to a retirement home. Investing our time and learning first hand how to be a CNA. My teacher, who was a retired CNA, helped us a lot with the issues with working in environments like that. When working in a retirement home, it puts a lot of stress on you mentally. There are people who are left there alone never seeing family. Some are so out of their minds that their only way of communication is screaming at you. You experience death very often, especially with those you have come to enjoy. My teacher was amazing at keeping her emotions in check. She knew when she needed to be calming to others and when to switch to her professional mode. Going along with self-management, my teacher was able to strict when something needed to be done but if it was taking a toll on us would be comforting all the same. When I told her I could not go back and work at the home, she completely understood. My teacher knew this kind of job for everyone and she wasn't going to force me to do it. When I stopped volunteering my time, she still put in the effort to help me pass the class due to the fact that we were graded on our involvement with the retirement home. Even when I was going through hardships at home, my teacher was able to push me through and get me to where I am now.
STORY 2
A situation in which I observed someone apply emotional intelligence to a situation was when my husband and I got into an argument on who we wanted in the delivery room when our son was to be born. My husband wanted it to be just the two of us whereas I wanted more family and friends to be present. We both ended up applying emotional intelligence in this situation because in order for us to come up with a solution we were required to become more aware of our own and each other's emotions revolving this situation in order for us to understand each other more completely. We applied self-awareness by accurately perceiving, evaluating and displaying appropriate emotions. We applied self-management by being able to direct out emotions in a positive way. We applied social awareness when we were able to understand how each other felt. We applied relationship management when we were able to help each other manage each other's own emotions and establish a supportive relationship surrounding this situation. In the end, it ended up just being the of us due to hospital restrictions due to the Covid-19 but we were able to reach an understanding by applying emotional intelligence

Several online stores now sell products to consumers at different prices based on the user’s information, such as geographical location—which determines your proximity to competitors and your area’s average income. Although this practice, known as Internet price discrimination, is not illegal, some would say it is unethical.
1) Do you believe this practice is unethical?
2) Should this practice be illegal?
3) If you think the practice should be legal, should retailers be required to put a disclaimer on their site? Explain your reasoning.
