Ann Elkin, who works for Brill Co., has been sent out to conduct two customer evaluations, which have gone much more quickly than Ann anticipated. Her supervisor does not expect Ann back until after lunch. It is now 10:30 A.M., and Ann would like to run some personal errands and then go to lunch before returning to work at 1:00 P.M. Should Ann take the time? Would you? Why or why not? Is this any different than if Ann was sitting at her office desk using a work computer to access her personal email, surf the internet, check social media or make personal phone calls on her work phone?

Scenario
Suppose you work for a wildlife conservation organization. You are working on creating a system to educate the general public about different animals and get them more interested in conservation.
Aim
Create a Eagle class that inherits from the Bird class and has a clutch size (eggs laid in one nesting) attribute. Change the behavior of instances of the Eagle class to include this clutch size fact when they're printed.
Steps for Completion
Go to your main.py file.
Define the Eagle class that inherits from the Bird class. Override the __init__ initializer method and add a clutch_size attribute with the value of 3.
Override the __str__ method and modify it to include mention of the clutch size.
At the bottom of the script we have initialized an instance of the Eagle class and called print on the instance, which should display facts about the eagle.
Run the script by using python3 main.py in the terminal. The output should be as shown in Snippet 7.86:
The eagle has a wingspan up to 7.5ft, has a lifespan of 20 years and can fly at a maximum speed of 99mph. It also has a clutch size up to 3.

Please using your OWN words give a response to the segment below. Can be anything like do you agree or disagree? Why or why not? Add anything to this statement.
Privacy- "the state or condition of being free from being observed or disturbed by other people"(Oxford Languages). I do believe that people have the right to their privacy. I don't believe that people should have to have their personal lives exposed for the rest of the world. When it comes to public health and privacy it is very difficult, because I feel people should have their own privacy, but if it is a threat to the community then i also feel as though the community has a right to know. We are kind of dealing with this situation now with COVID. I remember seeing on the news in the beginning of the pandemic that they were trying to make an app so you would know if you were around someone who has tested positive. I'm not sure how that would work, but due to the pandemic and the rapid spread of the virus, I feel like an app like that would be justified. It doesn't have to mention names, just that a person they were around had tested positive.

Mark comes to your office to talk to you about an idea he has. He tells you that he does not have cash to pay you but if you help him, he will compensate you with equity in the company. He talks about a crazy website were individuals can talk to each other online and socialize, something called “Facebook”. Knowing that the technology industry is booming, you agree. Mark asks you that he needs to form a business entity for his business idea. He wants a company that can grow as big as it needs to, Mark has big dreams that the company will one day be a multi-billion-dollar company. Mark also wants to be able to get as much funding and investors as possible. He wants the most liability protection possible, mostly since he predicts millions of users.

Question
(a) Identify the effect of tariffs, subsidies and export quotas on
each of the sectors of the economy given in the table below. For
each sector you just need to mention whether the effect is
Positive, Negative or No/Uncertain Effect. For all the above
instruments assume the country imposing them as the domestic
country and the other countries in a trading relationship with this
country as the foreign countries. Finally assume that all countries
involved in trade have large economies, the markets for the goods
on which these trade intervention instruments are imposed are all
highly competitive and the export quotas are not auctioned.
| Tariffs | Export Quotas | Subsidies | |
| Domestic Producers | |||
| Foreign Producers | |||
| Domestic Consumers | |||
| Foreign Consumers | |||
| Domestic Taxpayers |
(b) Explain why strategic trade policy though appealing in the
short-run might be counter-productive in the long-run.
(c)Interventions by government in free trade through trade barriers
benefit domestic producers and workers but impose welfare losses on
consumers and/or taxpayers. Given that consumers and/or taxpayers
are vastly more numerous than those involved in the sectors
benefited through trade barriers, why are the consumers and/or
taxpayers not able to generate enough political pressure to counter
the imposition of trade barriers?
