The demands of exercise necessitate numerous physiological changes in animals, especially in circulation and muscle metabolism. Consider prolonged exercise activity (e.g. long-distance migration or a marathon run in human exercise).

1. Describe the changing demands in muscle metabolism as exercise progresses (from seconds to minutes to hours). How will the fuel used by locomotory muscles change?
2. Describe the associated changes in respiration and circulation in order to meet the increased demand of skeletal muscle. What specific changes in cardiac output and capillaries at the muscle bed take place, and how are these regulated?

1. The Revenue Operations team (RevOps) provides system requirements to the Finance Engineering team (FinEng) when any change to the revenue accounting systems is needed. Examples of these changes include launching new products and features, modifications, and/or accounting policy changes. FinEng's role is to deploy the requirements within the revenue accounting systems. Once FinEng deploys the requirements in the systems, RevOps completes User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to ensure the changes to the system are performing as expected. When performing UAT, what factors would you consider?

Is there such a thing as a midlife crisis? Discuss the idea of a midlife crisis in terms of the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial changes in middle adulthood. Also:

If you believe there is such a thing as a midlife crisis, what developmental changes in middle adulthood might be the cause? Why do some middle-aged people experience it and others do not?

If you do not believe that a midlife crisis exists, explain why you think this myth perpetuates in our society. What developmental changes (or perhaps stages, i.e. Erikson or Maslow) might be mistaken for a midlife crisis?

Alana Doroppoli is 56 years old. She is an Italian immigrant who has recently been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. Alana is currently being cared for in her own home with palliative care services in home service. Alana has managed all home duties in the past but now finds that, due to the medical treatments she is receiving for the cancer, she is no longer able to manage all the household tasks. Due to tiredness, she is also required to rest for extended periods throughout the day. After six weeks of treatment Alana is bedridden due to the progression of the cancer and the failure of the treatment to halt the disease. Alana is sad as she can no longer cook for and look after her husband and three sons. Alana and her family are also very religious and now Alana can no longer attend her church or take part in community activities connected to her church. As Alana has a life-limiting illness, the health care team plan to make sure her quality of life is maintained as best as possible, and that she is given pain relief when needed. Alana is unable to attend to personal hygiene independently and requires around-the-clock care. The family and the palliative care team make the decision to admit Alana to a hospice facility. They make sure her room resembles her home with familiar photos and her favourite ornaments. They assess Alana and prepare a care plan. Alana also prepares advance care directives when she is first admitted. All team members are made aware of these plans. Alana’s sons say they don’t want their mother to be given morphine but Alana’s doctor explains to the family the benefits of morphine to manage Alana’s pain. The doctor arranges a family conference so everyone is informed and the team can work out how best to support family members and carers. Mai is the day-shift worker. She has only just started working in a palliative care environment. She knows that her job is to provide support to the client, family members and carers by listening to them, getting to know them and respecting their wishes. She provides leaflets to family members and carers about cancer. She also tells them about cancer support groups for family members

1. How can Mai encourage and support the family/carers to discuss spiritual and cultural issues in an open and safe environment within their scope of practice?

2. Identify two examples of care that falls outside the role of the personal support worker in palliative care.

3. How can the palliative care team show Alana and her family empathy and emotional support?

1. Go to the www.irs.gov website
2. Print out a Form 1040, Schedule A, and instructions for this Schedule, under "Forms and
Publications". Print the most recent Schedule and Instructions available.
3. Complete the Schedule A using the following facts:
June and Mike Baird are a married couple. Together their Adjusted Gross Income is $150,000.
For 20XX, they had the following items or occurrences related to itemized or possible itemized
deductions. All amounts are totals for the year:
a) Mortgage interest on primary residence $6,000. Mortgage amount $220,000.
b) Property taxes, primary residence, $4,000
c) Mortgage interest on vacation home, $4,000. Mortgage amount $160,000
d) Property tax on vacation home $4,000
e) Doctors bills paid out of pocket, not covered by insurance, $2,100
f) Prescription drugs paid out of pocket $800
g) Health insurance premiums paid through employers and deducted from their gross
income each week $2,400
h) Over the counter medicines to treat Mike's athlete's foot, $300
i) State income taxes withheld from paychecks $1,800
j) State income taxes paid with their state return last year $400
k) Total loss of car, not covered with comprehensive insurance so no insurance proceeds
received. Paid $9,000 for the car used, at date of total loss, value was $4,800
l) Wallet stolen at beach, containing $800
m) Tax return preparation fees paid $200
n) Investment counselor fees paid $400
o) Cash gifts to church $2,400
p) Gifts of old clothing to Goodwill and Salvation Army, all donated August 31st,
miscellaneous items listed by June as being worth $350
q) Gift of appreciated Sherwin-Williams Company stock to the Church. June had paid
$1500 for the stock three years ago, and its value at date of gift (October 1) was $3,200
r) Various gifts at the holiday season to needy individuals who use the church's soup
kitchen, $200

Why are the itemized deductions what they are? Why allow home mortgage interest, but not credit card interest? Why allow medical expense deductions, not school expense deductions? Why allow state and local income and property taxes, but not state and local sales taxes? Why, oh why, oh why? What are your thoughts? Any itemized deductions you think should not be included, or that are not deductible but be? Why? Can you make sense out of the present scheme and the six major groups (medical, local taxes, some interest, casualty, contributions, miscellaneous)?

Case Study 2 Fred’s Miracle Cough Syrup has hit the market and become a huge success with the burgeoning integrative medicine demographic. Per your advice, Fred has patented his famous concoction and trademarked the Fred’s Miracle Cough Syrup name and logo.

Demand is so high that Fred and Sally are working full-time on the business. Their children, Sam and Lilly, and their respective spouses, Jane and Tim, have joined the company full-time as well. In fact, Fred and Sally have made Sam and Lilly part owners of the business. Fred, Sam, and Tim handle the production, sales, and delivery. Sally and Lilly handle the majority of the administrative and business management tasks, while Jane acts as the bookkeeper. Sally and Fred are the only authorized signatories on the corporate account. Sally and Lilly have been hard at work securing a new production facility and distribution chain to accommodate an upcoming contract with a national chain.

After locating a large warehouse on several acres, Sally and Lilly approach their local credit union for a loan. The business has only one business credit card used to purchase supplies for the production of Fred’s Miracle Cough Syrup, and there is a small mortgage outstanding on the family farm. Personal debts of the individual family members consist of small credit-card balances for Fred, Sally, Sam, and Lilly as well as an auto loan on Sam’s van.

During the commercial loan accounting review process, Sally and Lilly discover that Jane has been siphoning off large amounts of corporate money and “cooking the books” to hide her actions. Jane has written several checks from the corporate account and forged both Sally’s and Fred’s signatures. Jane has made out all but one of the forged checks to Don, a local loan shark, in an effort to repay her gambling debts. The check Jane did not deliver to Don was made out to “Cash,” which she slipped into the collection box at church in an effort to absolve her guilt. The embezzlement was so severe that the family fears that Fred’s Miracle Cough Syrup is now on the brink of bankruptcy.

Meanwhile, Sam’s refusal to enter into an exclusive distribution deal with the local drugstore has enraged Bob, the owner. Bob has now reverse engineered Fred’s cough syrup recipe and has posted it online in an act of vengeance. As Fred and Sally tearfully recount the events of the past month, you reassure them that you are on the case, and you begin to ponder the legal issues at hand. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

What legal defenses might Fred and Sally raise with regard to the checks written by Jane to Don and the church?

Critical Thinking

The global marketplace has witnessed an increased pressure from customers and competitors in manufacturing as well as service sector (Basu, 2001; George, 2002). Due to the rapidly changing global marketplace only those companies will be able to survive that will deliver products of good quality at cheaper rate and to achieve their goal companies try to improve performance by focusing on cost cutting, increasing productivity levels, quality and guaranteeing deliveries in order to satisfy customers (Raouf, 1994).

Increased global competition leads the industry to increasing efficiency by means of economies of scale and internal specialization so as to meet market conditions in terms of flexibility, delivery performance and quality (Yamashina, 1995). The changes in the present competitive business environment are characterized by profound competition on the supply side and keen indecisive in customer requirements on the demand side. These changes have left their distinctive marks on the different aspect of the manufacturing organizations (Gomes et al., 2006). With this increasing global economy, cost effective manufacturing has become a requirement to remain competitive.

To meet all the challenges organizations try to introduce different manufacturing and supply techniques. Management of organizations devotes its efforts to reduce the manufacturing costs and to improve the quality of product. To achieve this goal, different manufacturing and supply techniques have been employed. The last quarter of the 20th century witnessed the adoption of world-class, lean and integrated manufacturing strategies that have drastically changed the way manufacturing firm’s leads to improvement of manufacturing performance (Fullerton and McWatters, 2002).

please complete my answer to be looonnnnnnggggg answer pleaseee ..... I need new and unique answers, please. (Use your own words, don't copy and paste)

Lean Thinking is a methodological aspect of business which aims to provide innovative ways to organisations about how to organise human activities to serve the society and help indivuduals add perspective to their lives and reduce wasted. The companies adopt lean thinking to reduce the wastage of human resource and increase the productive capacity of the employees working.

JIT Model or Just-in-time Model is an inventory management model wherein the different aspects of production like labour, raw material, etc., are refiiled at the exact time when it is ultimately required. This model is used by almost all the organisations as through this model thr production is kept uninterupted and there is no wastage of time while any factor of production is exhausted.

The major types of waste that a company has to keep in mind includes mainly the wastage of raw materials, wastage of labour resource, power supply. etc.

Lean Thinking plays an intregal part in every organisation. Every organisation intends to reduce the wastage throughout the production process. Every organisation wants to keep their potential employees and a very important way is to keep the employee satisfied with the job , working conditions, pay scale, etc. Employees play the most important role as most of the production process depends on them therefore, lean thinking helps the suppliers to the end users.

Agile supply chain is a process of product distribution that is concerned with quick delivery of products, early responses to the market, cost saving, high productivity with flexibility. At this point of the emergency of COVID-19 agile supply chain is very useful as the World is under lockdown and the market is facing serious issues of scarcity of the necessity items that are demanded. As under lockdown major companies are completely shut which has resulted in the reduction in production in alot of the sectors and the Economy around the World is facing massive drop and in some countries the Economy is running negetive. This is the time to adopt agile supply chain Worldwide to save the market from reaching recession.
