Choose a news story to investigate across a variety of alternative and mainstream news platforms. You may choose something that is happening right now in the news, or consider looking at one of the following topics: The G20 protests in Toronto in 2010 The Arab Spring 2010 Anti-terror Bill C51 2015 Parliament Hill shooting 2014 Rather than sharing your graphic organizer, summarize the most interesting conclusions you can draw about the way the story was covered differently by different news media. End your summary with your opinion on whether or not alternative news media appear to make a valuable contribution to our understanding of the news in Canada.

Van Dalen Foods, a bakery chain located in Grand Rapids Michigan, provides baked goods for grocery stores located throughout Michigan. The quality of the baked goods is primarily responsible for the increased number of stores that handle Van Dalen products. The firm’s human resources department recently conducted a study to determine the effectiveness of its performance appraisal program. On the basis of findings of study, the personnel director has decided to investigate the possibility of changing from a graphic rating scale method to results-oriented scale.

Outline the advantages and disadvantages of the results-oriented technique.

EER diagram

Draw the EER diagram for the following systems.

Persons in an organization are employees or customers or visitors. Employees have computers.
The IT department of the company builds all its computers from components. Each computer
consists of several components like graphic cards, network cards, mother boards, memory
capsules, hard discs, etc. When a component is bought from a supplier it is given an ID number.
The finished computer is placed in a room, which may contain several computers.
Prepare an EER diagram using only the concepts listed above, that shows, as necessary,
entities, relationships, specializations and generalizations. Show the most likely cardinalities
(min, max) for all relationships.

Milton is a young boy whose parents will give him an allowance of $15 today and an allowance of $15 tomorrow. Suppose Milton's preferences over spending today, x₁, and spending tomorrow, x₂, are represented by the utility function U(x1; x2) = x₁ / x₂^1/2 . Given his utility function Milton's MRS_x1x2 = 2x₂/x_1.

(a) Based on Milton's utility function, does he enjoy consumption more today or tomorrow? Explain. For parts (b) through (d), determine how much money Milton spends, saves and borrows in each period.

(b) Suppose there is no credit market, and also, that Milton's parents take back any money that Milton doesn't spend in each period (that is, he cannot save any money).

(c) Now assume the interest rate is 0, but Milton's parents allow him to save or borrow.

(d) Now suppose that Milton's parents decide to set up a credit market with interest rate r = 0.25 so that he can borrow or lend as much as he wants at this interest rate.

(e) What interest rate r should Milton's parents pick if they want Milton to spend the same amount of money in period 2 as he spends in period 1?

1.What is the physiological basis for a boy looking for his hat only to discover that he is wearing it?

2. Was the sensation stronger or weaker when your entire hand was immersed in the water? ___________ Explain the sensation

3. Did the sensation change with time when your hands were immersed in: ice water? _________ warm water? ___________Explain.

4.Describe the sensation when both hands were placed in tap water after immersion in ice and warm water, respectively. ______ How do you account for this?

5.What is the physiological basis for a girl believing that the temperature of water in a swimming pool is “?ne” after testing it with her foot but complaining that it is “freezing cold” after jumping in? ________

A woman plans to bear three children. The probability of having a boy is 50%. Out of the three childer she bears, determine:
a) Mean number of boys (using the formula) (Ans: 1.5)
b) Standard Deviation of the number of boys (using the formula) (Ans: 0.866)
c) Sketch the density function of the number of boys and comment on whether the mean and standard deviation in parts a and b are plausible. (Ans: P={0.125 0.375 0.375 0.125} for 0, 1, 2, and 3 respectively)
d) Sketch the distribution function of the number of boys.

Question 4

Alan is the manager of a boy band named “Funky Rock” and required the following equipment for the band before their next concert.

1. ONE (1) sound mixer-Yamaha CL series console that deliver naturally superior sound plus a comprehensive range of “colouring” options that give the sonic craftsmen who will use them extraordinary creative freedom. Where the signal processors provided are plentiful and of the highest quality
2. 5-DM-105-Yamaha Dynamic Wired Microphones

Alan believed that Yamaha, products were best suited for the band, as the sound equipment would be used over a long period of time during rehearsals and the live shows and needed to be of the highest quality.

Alan visited the closest Yamaha shop, but unfortunately, they did not have the equipment in stock.

Alan then went to Dumbo Musical, another music shop and inspected the sound equipment, on display in their showroom. The equipment looked very much like those advertised by Yamaha. Alan specifically mentioned that the products must match up with what he saw in the show room and that all the sound equipment was to be of professional standard, and able to withstand long hours of use, especially the sound mixer. Later, the same day Alan signed a contract with Dumbo Musical. Dumbo Musical agreed to deliver the items in a week. As they had to get the new stock from their stores.

The next week as scheduled “Funky Rock” made their way to the open -air theatre, where they were giving a matinee show in aid of charity. They unpacked the microphones as they set up their act and found that they were not in working order. As they were setting up, the sound mixer, also malfunctioned.

Advise Alan and “Funky Rock”, what action they can take against Dumbo Musical under the Sale of Goods Act 1957.

In 2001, a 3-year old boy was admitted to hospital in Mt Isa, Queensland with a two-day history of an acute febrile illness and convulsions. He remained febrile over the following two days. He had further brief seizures and then developed a left hemiparesis (paralysis of one side of the body), agitation and confusion, and subsequently became comatose. He was commenced on broad spectrum antibiotics and acyclovir. Two months later he had persisting major neurological sequelae, and remained semi-comatose with a spastic quadriplegia. In a provisional diagnosis of acute encephalitis, what viral etiologic agent is likely?

Select one:

a. Japanese encephalitis virus.

b. West Nile encephalitis virus.

c. St Louis encephalitis virus.

d. Murray Valley encephalitis virus.

1. Assumptions: Two child family, the probability of a boy or girl is .5, sex of one child in the family is independent of the sex of the other child.

Case A: With no other information given, what is the probability that a family has 2 girls?

Case B: A family has at least 1 girl, what is the probability that a family has 2 girls?

Case C: A family has at least 1 girl who is its first born child, what is the probability that a family has 2 girls?

Comment: As we move from Case A to Case B to Case C, we have more information and the probability space shrinks and the probability of a 2-girl family increases.
