Many physics papers now have dozens of authors per paper. Experimental physics may have multi-organizational and multi-country contributing staffs, but I'd guess that most of the names don't contribute a word or equation to a paper, yet they get individual authorship credit. My question is who determines the author list, does everybody listed have editing privilages, and perhaps most importantly, who decides on their listed order?   

"Queer is understood as an umbrella term that refers to a range of sexual identities that are not "straight." (Siobhan B. Somerville).

Write a program that asks the user for a path to a directory, then updates the names of all the files in the directory that contain the word draft to instead say final

     EX: "term paper (draft).txt" would be renamed "term paper (final).txt"

BONUS (5pts): for any .txt file that your program changes the name of, have your program add a line of text that states "Edited on " followed by the current date to the end of the text in the file that it is editing.

Java 20 most frequent words in a text file. Words are supposed to be stored in array that counts eah word.

Write a program that will read an article, parse each line into words, and keep track of how many times each word occurred. Run this program for each of the two articles and print out the 20 most frequently appearing words in each article.

You may think you need to use a StringTokenizer, but it turns out that is old programming. The better thing to use is

string.split(regex)

If the subsidies vanish, low-income Americans who obtain insurance through Obamacare 
online marketplaces where insurers can sell policies would face higher insurance premiums 
and out-of-pocket medical costs. It would particularly hurt lower-middle-class families 
whose incomes are still too high to qualify for certain government assistance.

About 10 million people are enrolled in Obamacare through its online marketplaces, and 
most receive subsidies. Trump’s action came just weeks before the period starting on 
Nov. 1 when individuals have to begin enrolling for 2018 insurance coverage through 
the law’s marketplaces.

Explain (in one word) why you can make the relationship of the 63 inches to weight as a prediction.

If the height of a swimmer is 70 inches, the expected weight in pounds will be?

Scenario:

Mike and Carol Gold's 12-year-old daughter Rebecca was abducted on her way home from school on May 15, 2016. Police reports indicated that a stranger had physically dragged Rebecca into a waiting car and sped away. Everyone hoped that the kidnapper and Rebecca would be located quickly. However, as of the end of the year, Rebecca was still missing. The police were still pursuing several promising leads and had every reason to believe that Rebecca was still alive. In 2017, Rebecca was returned safely to her parents. Are the Golds allowed to claim an exemption deduction for Rebecca in 2016 even though she only lived in the Gold's home for four-and-one-half months?

Requirements: Using RIA Checkpoint, research the answer to the question. Use key word search and only the Internal Revenue Code to find your answer.

Write a less sophisticated client letter to the Golds. Keep your letter to 1 page.

On the second page, include the key word(s) used in your search and provide the exact citation for the Internal Revenue Code where you found your answer.

For example, §101 is not a sufficient citation. But, §101(b)(2) would be.
