Tony and Suzie are ready to expand Great Adventures even further in 2022. Tony believes that many groups in the community (for example, Boy Scouts, church groups, civic groups, and local businesses) would like to hold one-day outings for their members. Groups would engage in outdoor activities such as rock climbing, fishing, capture the flag, paintball, treasure hunts, scavenger hunts, nature hikes, and so on. The purpose of these one-day events would be for each member of the group to learn the importance of TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More).

Tony knows that most people are not familiar with these types of activities, so to encourage business he allows groups to participate in the event before paying. He offers a 4% quick-payment discount to those that pay within 10 days after the event. He also guarantees that at least eight hours of outdoor activities will be provided or the customer will receive a 20% discount. For the first six months of the year, the following activities occur for TEAM operations.

Jan. 24 Great Adventures purchases outdoor gear such as ropes, helmets, harnesses, compasses, and other miscellaneous equipment for $4,400 cash.
Feb. 25 Mr. Kendall’s Boy Scout troop participates in a one-day TEAM adventure. Normally, Tony would charge a group of this size $2,900, but he wants to encourage kids to exercise more and enjoy the outdoors so he charges the group only $2,400. Great Adventures provides these services on account.
Feb. 28 The Boy Scout troop pays the full amount owed, less the 4% quick-payment discount.
Mar. 19 Reynold’s Management has its employees participate in a one-day TEAM adventure. Great Adventures provides services on account for $3,400, and Reynold’s agrees to pay within 30 days.
Mar. 27 Reynold’s pays the full amount owed, less the 4% quick-payment discount.
Apr. 7 Several men from the Elks Lodge decide to participate in a TEAM adventure. They pay $6,900, and the event is scheduled for the following week.
Apr. 14 The TEAM adventure is held for members of the Elks Lodge.
Apr. 30 Myers Manufacturing participates in a TEAM adventure. Great Adventures provides services on account for $5,400, and Myers agrees to pay within 30 days.
May 31 Myers Manufacturing fails to pay the amount owed within the specified period and agrees to sign a three-month, 7% note receivable to replace the existing account receivable.
Jun. 15 Several MBA groups participate in TEAM adventures. Great Adventures provides services on account for $21,000 to these groups, with payment due in July.

Police inspector advises stubborn teenager caught for repeatedly breaking MCO, challenges him to do well in studies (VIDEO)


Tuesday, 07 Apr 2020 05:58 PM MYT BY ARIF ZIKRI LENGGONG, April 7— A teenager caught multiple times for violating the Movement Control Order (MCO) was schooled by a police inspector after the boy’s mother complained about his stubbornness. Lenggong police station head Inspector Mohd Ropiza Hassan took it upon himself to advise the young man. A video of the conversation between Mohd Ropiza and the 15-year-old boy was recorded and has been circulating on social media platforms since yesterday. In the one minute and 37 second video, Ropiza telling-off the youngster that it was not his first time he had been caught, and ‘offered’ the boy to stay in the lock-up if he required monitoring to comply with the law. Mohd Ropiza then advised the teenager to study hard during the MCO, so he could better himself and help his family, challenging the boy to further his studies into any university. “Study hard, you’re the eldest son in your family, haven’t you thought about that? With no father. The government has asked you to stay at home to read some books. “Study hard until you succeed so that you can help out your family not by doing as you please.” He told the boy to listen to the advice, saying he wanted to see the young man in another five years and to hear that he had succeeded in furthering his studies. “Meet me at Balai Lenggong and tell me when you’ve been accepted into an IPTA, I challenge you,” Ropiza said in the video. The video was recorded in front of the teen’s house and according to the Gerik State Chief of Police, Superintendent Ismail Che Isa, no arrest was made and the inspector was just advising the boy as requested by his mother. Inspector Mohd Ropiza Hassan took time to personally speak to the youngster. — Screenshot courtesy of Facebook/ Polis Diraja Malaysia.

A group of people violated the movement control order (MCO) when they were caught drinking outside a temple on Thursday (April 9).
Seberang Prai Utara OCPD Asst Comm Noorzainy Mohd Noor said those detained were enjoying their alcoholic beverages at the temple compound near Jalan Kampung Gajah, Butterworth.

Sam and Janet were married for 10 years. During this time, they have been living with Sam’s parents, however Janet is not satisfied with this arrangement and wants to have her own home. Janet has tried many times to speak to Sam how she feels but Sam refuses. One day, Sam’s mother, Julie, came home from the Bank and Janet rudely accused her of interfering with Janet’s marriage. The two of them were in a heated exchange whereby Janet curse her mother-in-law while pelting her with objects and Julie curse Janet in return while telling Janet that she never wanted her as a daughter-in-law. This carried on for over an hour during which time, Sam came from work and tried to reason with the women. Eventually, Janet went to the Police Station and made a report. The Police suggested to Janet, Julie, and Sam that maybe they should consider alternatives to litigation.  

Discuss which Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) method or combination of ADR methods can be used to help Julie, Janet and Sam. Why should litigation not be pursued? (Include in your discussion atleast 4 advantages and 4 disadvantages of the ADR method(s) chosen).

Intro to Python

I'm getting trouble obtaining the solution for the following questions:

"How many babies were born with names starting with that least-common letter?" For the file used it is "U"

"How many babies were born with names starting with that-common letter"? For the file used it is "A"

"How many people have that name?" (This follows the question "By default, the Social Security Administration's data separates out names by gender. For example, Jamie is listed separately for girls and for boys. If you were to remove this separation, what would be the most common name in the 2010s regardless of gender?" And the file I used it is "Isabella")

"What name that is used for both genders has the smallest difference in which gender holds the name most frequently? In case of a tie, enter any one of the correct answers."

This is the problem:

#-----------------------------------------------------------
#The United States Social Security Administration publishes
#a list of all documented baby names each year, along with
#how often each name was used for boys and for girls. The
#list is used to see what names are most common in a given
#year.
#
#We've grabbed that data for any name used more than 25
#times, and provided it to you in a file called
#babynames.csv. The line below will open the file:

names_file = open('../resource/lib/public/babynames.csv', 'r')

#We've also provided a sample subset of the data in
#sample.csv.
#
#Each line of the file has three values, separated by
#commas. The first value is the name; the second value is
#the number of times the name was given in the 2010s (so
#far); and the third value is whether that count
#corresponds to girls or boys. Note that if a name is
#given to both girls and boys, it is listed twice: for
#example, so far in the 2010s, the name Jamie has been
#given to 611 boys and 1545 girls.
#
#Use this dataset to answer the questions below.


#Here, add any code you want to allow you to answer the
#questions asked below over on edX. This is just a sandbox
#for you to explore the dataset: nothing is required for
#submission here.

//

This is the format of the file but this is not file the problem is based on:

Isabella,42567,Girl
Sophia,42261,Girl
Jacob,42164,Boy
Emma,35951,Girl
Ethan,34523,Boy
Mason,34195,Boy
William,34130,Boy
Olivia,34128,Girl

In your perspective, what would be the best ethical theory to analyze the case study "my family's honor? Please elaborate on why you think this way

My family’s Honor

My name is Charles, but my friends and family call me Chuck. I am the fifth child in a family of 7, three older sisters and an older brother before me, and a sister one a year younger and a brother 5 years younger than her. Due to the age difference between my sister and my little brother, jokes were told in family gatherings referring to my little brother as an “accident” or as “Ramses” making reference to a popular name brand of condoms implying that my mother had gotten pregnant because the Ramses Condoms were somehow damaged. At that time in my life, roughly 15 years old, I did not find these jokes or comments funny at all. Nevertheless, we had grown to know my little brother as Ramses for lack of a better nickname and he hated it even though I do not think he understood what it meant.

One warm summer afternoon, my little brother came home very angry. For days to follow, he did not want to talk about what was making him upset and seemed absent and sad. As the week came to an end, he was still obviously upset to the point that he refused to go to a football game that we had been planning to go for weeks. I did not understand what the problem was, but what I was about to find out, would make me reevaluate the meaning of the word “honor.”

A few weeks before this incident, a young Down Syndrome boy had been accepted into my brother school, fact that I was not aware of. Moved by a government “full integration” policy, schools were admitting what in those days were known as “non-traditional students”, a group that was composed by Down Syndrome, Autistic and other learning disabled children that up until that time had been going to special education centers out of the public eye. Thinking in retrospect, I personally had never been close or even seen a Down Syndrome child. The closest thing I remember was a boy who lived across the street who used to spy on us as we played in the street but never came out. Later on in life I found out that his name was Bobby and he had been the victim of a nasty disease known as Polio and thus confined to a wheel chair. Bobby was “home schooled” not because he had a learning disability, but probably because his parents tried to protect him from bullies and deep down inside they were possibly a bit ashamed of him.

After a while, my little brother (whose real name was David), decided to open up to me and told me the reasons why he had been upset in the past days. With tears in his eyes, David proceeded to narrate what he had been subjected to by kids in the school. He looked and me and said: Last Monday I went to school and some of the older kids were pointing at me and laughing. Before I knew it from the crowd I heard a voice yelling “Ramses, Ramses you mother can’t keep on her pantses.” In a macabre and cruel way of making fun of David by making up words to make a silly rhyme, they were implying that my mother was a whore who could not keep her pants on and thus, got pregnant with David. Never mind that my mother was married to my father and consequently she could not be labeled as a whore, I was enraged that this kids would have my mother in their stupid mouths. I was so upset about this that I told David that next time he saw the kid or kids who did this to him to point them out to me that I would make them pay. Keep in mind that David was around 8 years old at that time, so to him it was a huge deal to be reassured by his big brother that he was going to be protected.

Weeks went by without any incidents and then one afternoon as David and I were walking through the playground by our house, he saw the culprit of his ridicule. He seemed excited and nervous when he pointed out his “offender” in the distance. From that perspective the kid seemed big, even bigger than me at 15. Without thinking about it I ran towards him convinced that if I surprised him and hit first, I would have the advantage. Since the kid was walking away from him, I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and swung him around. A right hook to his belly made him lose his air, a punch in the mouth and then another….. by this time all of the kids in the playground were surrounding me chanting “fight, fight, fight…” All I could think of was my mother’s honor….. never again would anyone dare calling my mother a whore…. I was blinded by rage as I continued to punch and kick. It was not long before someone grabbed me and pinned me down…. In my rage I heard a woman crying in desperation…… as I reclaimed by composure, I began to see what I had done.

On the ground, bleeding with what seemed a broken nose, and crying covering his face was this big kid…. The woman who had been crying, his mother, was trying to console him and as she helped him out my rage turned to horror as I realized the kid I had badly hurt was the Down Syndrome boy that had come to my brother’s school a few weeks ago. I learned his name was Christian and in an act of cruelty bigger than anything I had ever seen, had been bullied by the bigger kids into making fun of my brother. I had inflicted a lot of damage on this boy who had no understanding of what he was saying and I did not know what to say. In an attack of remorse, I too started to cry asking him to forgive him… I could not look at him or his mother, I had never in my short life felt so much remorse.

In an effort to regain my mother’s honor, I had attacked the wrong person, I had acted without thinking, I had committed an act of violence against someone who could not properly defend himself. What a shameful and coward act.

Time passed and we all got older. Christian was taken out of the school and we never heard anything from him. I got married and had children… 3 girls and a boy. Life sometimes likes to play cruel jokes on us and my boy was born with Down Syndrome. In a reconciliatory move, I named him Christian…. Not because I felt guilty anymore, but because I wanted to protect this little Christian and make sure that no bully ever took advantage of him. Today Christian is 10 years old. He is a mild case of Down Syndrome and the doctors seem to think that he will live a long and productive life. I cannot help however, to see the stares or the little boys pointing at him when we go to the playground. Today my honor is in making sure that my son will never be abused by anyone. Funny I should say this, but sometimes when I hold my Christian in my arms I still shed a tear of remorse for what I did to that poor boy many years ago.

The closest thing I remember was a boy who lived across the street who used to spy on us as we played in the street but never came out. Later on in life I found out that his name was Bobby and he had been the victim of a nasty disease known as Polio and thus confined to a wheel chair. Bobby was “home schooled” not because he had a learning disability, but probably because his parents tried to protect him from bullies and deep down inside they were possibly a bit ashamed of him.

After a while, my little brother (whose real name was David), decided to open up to me and told me the reasons why he had been upset in the past days. With tears in his eyes, David proceeded to narrate what he had been subjected to by kids in the school. He looked and me and said: Last Monday I went to school and some of the older kids were pointing at me and laughing. Before I knew it from the crowd I heard a voice yelling “Ramses, Ramses you mother can’t keep on her pantses.” In a macabre and cruel way of making fun of David by making up words to make a silly rhyme, they were implying that my mother was a whore who could not keep her pants on and thus, got pregnant with David. Never mind that my mother was married to my father and consequently she could not be labeled as a whore, I was enraged that this kids would have my mother in their stupid mouths. I was so upset about this that I told David that next time he saw the kid or kids who did this to him to point them out to me that I would make them pay. Keep in mind that David was around 8 years old at that time, so to him it was a huge deal to be reassured by his big brother that he was going to be protected.

Weeks went by without any incidents and then one afternoon as David and I were walking through the playground by our house, he saw the culprit of his ridicule. He seemed excited and nervous when he pointed out his “offender” in the distance. From that perspective the kid seemed big, even bigger than me at 15. Without thinking about it I ran towards him convinced that if I surprised him and hit first, I would have the advantage. Since the kid was walking away from him, I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and swung him around. A right hook to his belly made him lose his air, a punch in the mouth and then another….. by this time all of the kids in the playground were surrounding me chanting “fight, fight, fight…” All I could think of was my mother’s honor….. never again would anyone dare calling my mother a whore…. I was blinded by rage as I continued to punch and kick. It was not long before someone grabbed me and pinned me down…. In my rage I heard a woman crying in desperation…… as I reclaimed by composure, I began to see what I had done.

On the ground, bleeding with what seemed a broken nose, and crying covering his face was this big kid…. The woman who had been crying, his mother, was trying to console him and as she helped him out my rage turned to horror as I realized the kid I had badly hurt was the Down Syndrome boy that had come to my brother’s school a few weeks ago. I learned his name was Christian and in an act of cruelty bigger than anything I had ever seen, had been bullied by the bigger kids into making fun of my brother. I had inflicted a lot of damage on this boy who had no understanding of what he was saying and I did not know what to say. In an attack of remorse, I too started to cry asking him to forgive him… I could not look at him or his mother, I had never in my short life felt so much remorse.

In an effort to regain my mother’s honor, I had attacked the wrong person, I had acted without thinking, I had committed an act of violence against someone who could not properly defend himself. What a shameful and coward act.

Time passed and we all got older. Christian was taken out of the school and we never heard anything from him. I got married and had children… 3 girls and a boy. Life sometimes likes to play cruel jokes on us and my boy was born with Down Syndrome. In a reconciliatory move, I named him Christian…. Not because I felt guilty anymore, but because I wanted to protect this little Christian and make sure that no bully ever took advantage of him. Today Christian is 10 years old. He is a mild case of Down Syndrome and the doctors seem to think that he will live a long and productive life. I cannot help however, to see the stares or the little boys pointing at him when we go to the playground. Today my honor is in making sure that my son will never be abused by anyone. Funny I should say this, but sometimes when I hold my Christian in my arms I still shed a tear of remorse for what I did to that poor boy many years ago.

Based on this story,

int terms of honor,,, in your perspective, what is the most important lesson to be learned from this short story?

Step 1. Set up the network topology with the following devices: 2 1841 router 1 Generic...

Step 1. Set up the network topology with the following devices:

  • 2 1841 router
  • 1 Generic Hub (Hub-PT)
  • 3 Generic End Devices (PC-PT)

Step 2. Click on the router to bring up the Configuration Window.

  • This window has three modes:
    • Physical, Config, and CLI (Physical is the default mode).
  • The Physical mode is used to add modules to a device, such as a WAN Interface Card (WIC).
  • The Config mode is used for basic configuration. Commands are entered in a simple GUI format, with actual equivalent IOS commands shown in the lower part of the window.
  • The CLI mode allows for advanced configuration of the device. This mode requires the user to enter the actual IOS commands just as they would on a live device.

Step 4. Select the WIC-2T module and drag it to Slot 0 on the router. Then drag a WIC Cover to Slot1.

Power the device back on

Step 5. Click on the Network Component Box and select Connections. Then select a Copper Straight-through connection to connect the router to the hub.

  • Click on the hub and choose Port 3. Then click on the router and choose interface FastEthernet 0/0.

Click on the Config mode tab of Router0 to begin configuring the device

  • After the device has finished booting, change the display name of the router to ITCSLab_1. Changing the display name does not affect the configuration. Click in the Hostname field and type ITCSLab_1, then press the TAB key. Note the equivalent IOS command is entered in the lower portion of the window.
  • If the device hangs up in the booting process, save the activity. Then close the application and reopen the file.
  • Click on interface FastEthernet 0/0 and assign the IP address 192.168.1.1, then press the TAB key. Enter the subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

  • Click the Port Status to On to enable the port (no shutdown).
  • Make sure that the existing router is selected (it will be grayed out).

Step 1. In the Main Tool Bar click on the Copy tool.

Click on the Paste tool and the copied device will appear in the work area.

Click on the Network Component Box and select Connections. Then select the Serial DCE connection

Click on the ITCSLAB_1 router and select the Config mode

  • Select interface Serial 0/0/0
  • Configure the interface Serial 0/0/0 with the IP address 192.168.2.1, then press the TAB key and enter the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 on the interface.
  • Set the clock rate to 56000
  • Click the Port Status to On to enable the port (no shutdown).

Step 2. Click on the new router and select the Config mode.

  • Change the Display Name and Hostname to ITCSLAB_2.
  • Configure the interface Serial 0/0/0 with the IP address 192.168.2.2, then press the TAB key and enter the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 on the interface.

Step 1. Click on the ITCSLAB_1 router and select the Config tab. Then click on RIP and add the network address 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0.

Step 2. Click on the ITCSLAB_2 router and select the Config tab. Then click on RIP and add the network address 192.168.2.0.

Step 3. Set the default gateway on the PCs

  • Click on PC0 and select the Config tab. Enter the default gateway address 192.168.1.1.
  • Click on PC1 and select the Config tab. Enter the default gateway address 192.168.1.1.
