First, search the internet for the official website of your local city government or a city that interests you. After reviewing the website, locate the latest comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) available on the website. For example, both the City of Sacramento and the City of Phoenix have their most recent CAFRs online within an accounting/financial section. Use the financial statements you locate to address the following questions:
USE CITY OF NEW YORK AND TARGET TO COMPARE - ANSWER THE QUESTIONS BELOW FOR BOTH NY CITY AND TARGET CAFR
How does the audit opinion given to this city by its independent auditors differ from the audit opinion rendered on the financial statements of a for-profit business?
A reconciliation should be presented to explain the difference between the net changes in fund balances for the governmental funds (fund financial statements) and the change in net position for the governmental activities (government-wide financial statements). What were several of the largest reasons for the difference?
Did the CAFR contain all required components, and what was your impression of how the information was reported?
What are some significant differences you see between the report you just reviewed and a for-profit statement?

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt
me.” We know that words can indeed be hurtful. Describe an
experience when someone’s (or your) use of a word or language was
offensive and how it made you/others feel. Alternately, share an
instance when someone’s words made you feel loved, accepted,
relaxed, etc.
1. Describe the negative experience and the feelings surrounding
it.
2. Describe the positive experience and the feelings surrounding
it.
3. Explain ways you can effectively deal with being offended by
someone’s use of a word?
4. Is it ethical to correct someone when s/he uses sexist language
or makes a stereotypical remark about someone’s ethnicity, gender
or sexual orientation? What if that person is your boss or teacher?
Explain your response.

A 2.20 g sample of the Ethane C2H6 gas was mixed with excess
oxygen gas and a combustion reaction occurred to obtain water in
liquid aggregate and carbon dioxide state. The combustion reaction
occurred at a constant calorimeter under standard conditions.
After the reaction was completed, the temperature in the
calorimeter rose by 1.3K. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is
88.8 kJ / K.
1. Write a balanced response to the burning process that took
place.
2. Consider the change in standard enthalpy, ∆H for a 1 molar
reaction of ethane. Show calculations.
3. Explain how you would calculate ∆Hf
[C2H6(g)] given you values of:
∆Hf [CO2(g)] and ∆Hf
[H2O(l)]
Numerical calculations are not required.
4. Determine what the missing data is to calculate the change in
the fire enthalpy,
∆Hc of ethane at 100 C?
5. Is a difference between ∆Ho and ∆Uo
expected for the reaction formulated in section a? Explain

The psychosocial and cultural factors of schizophrenia include cannibus use and abuse as well as stress, urban living, families, immigration and other factors. Choose one of more of these to discuss. State your opinion and how how heavily you believe these impact the likelihood of a schizophrenia diagnosis.
For full credit, please address the information above in detail, ensure that your paper is at least one full page in length.
We are continuing to move toward APA format so papers should be double-spaced and in 12-point font (Times New Roman). Be sure that your margins are set to one inch all around and left justify your paper. Include right justified page numbers at the top all pages.
Name, date and assignment information should be found on a separate title page, preceding the body of the paper with proper spacing. No header as the seventh edition of APA has omitted this requirement for student papers.
Any cited sources should be written on a separate resources page following the body of the work and titled "Resources". Include a hanging indent in your resources.

Much have been said about the ratio of government debt to GDP.
Some say economy
will be in real trouble if the ratio figure exceeds the threshold
level (e.g. 55%). Others
do not bother about the figure as long as the government can react
to its best judgement
to get the economy going.
(a) Discuss your opinions about the strength and weaknesses of
having the
threshold level for the government debt to GDP ratio.
(b) Using the debt dynamics equation, debt figure and related
indicators from a
country (state any country with debt issues),
(i) explain factors to be considered in addressing the high level
of public
debt.
(ii) discuss how the government can ensure fiscal
sustainability.

A beam of light shines on an equilateral glass prism at an angle of 45∘ to one face (figure (a) below). 1) What is the angle at which the light emerges from the opposite face given that nglass = 1.57? (Express your answer to three significant figures.)
2) Now consider what happens when dispersion is involved (figure (b)). Assume the incident ray of light spans the spectrum of visible light between 400 nm and 700 nm (violet to red, respectively). The index of refraction for violet light in the glass prism is 1.572, and it is 1.568 for red light in the glass prism. Find the distance along the right face of the prism between the points where the red light and violet light emerge back into air. Assume the prism is 10.0 cm on a side and the incident ray hits the midpoint of the left face. (Express your answer to two significant figures.)

PART A) The color of tulips can be determined by the interaction of 2 loci. Tulips can be pigmented red (controlled by a dominant allele, R) or yellow (r). The second locus has a dominant white allele (W), which inhibits pigment resulting in white tulips and a recessive allele (w) which results in colored petals. Consider the cross of a true breeding yellow tulip with a true breeding white tulip that is heterozygous recessive at the pigmented locus. Show work where necessary. What are the parental genotypes? What are the resulting F1 genotypes? If you cross the F1 plants what is the probability of getting a white tulip in the F2 generation?
PART B) A true-breeding pink-body unicorn with a red horn was crossed with a true-breeding white-bodied, purple horned unicorn. Pink body and purple horns are dominant. What phenotypic ratio do you expect for F1? For the F2 generation, you end up with the following unicorn offspring: 180 pink-bodied and purple horned, 60 pink-bodied and red horned, 50 white-bodied and purple horned, and 15 white bodied and red horned. Test the hypothesis that the genes associated with unicorn body and horn color are assorting independently. What is your chi-square value? Now assume that your chi-square value exceeds the chi-square critical value. Does this mean you reject or fail to reject your null hypothesis. Now assume that you failed to reject your null hypothesis, does this mean the two genes are independently assorting or that linkage is occurring?
