1. Select one of the external factors discussed in the text that influences business.
2. Choose a company that is being significantly influenced by the factor you selected. For example, there has been a great deal of consumer concern about the use of GMOs in food, and Monsanto has been on the receiving end of a great deal of criticism. See the article “Monsanto in the middle of upcoming congressional fight over GMO labeling”

Now that you have a company and an external factor (Monsanto and GMOs, for example), the next step is to research your company’s activities during the past six to twelve months, as they relate to this external factor. You will want to start at the company’s Web site. Find out what the company owners and managers are doing/saying about the issue. Consider the stakeholders, as well, and look for information on how they are influencing company reaction/action.

For Discussion

Using the research you performed in the preparation steps, craft your initial discussion posting. In this initial post you will:

• Provide a brief background on the company and the external factor you selected.
• Explain how this external factor is currently influencing the internal functional areas of the business/company. In other words, what short-term changes, actions, or decisions are needing to be made within the functional, internal areas of the company as a result of the external factor?
• How do you think the company will address this external factor over the long term?
  • For example, if you selected the Ronald McDonald House and the external factor of corporate citizenship, you might surmise that the slow economy and high unemployment will put additional pressure on McDonald’s to provide more assistance to families and people in need. However, in a slow economy people are less likely to make donations. They are being asked to do more but may have less to do it with. In the long term, if donations do not increase and demand remains high, the company may have to look for other means besides donations to support their mission. Marketing may need to increase, and the finance department may start to look for ways to cut costs.
• Please Answer this in Word totals for this post should be in the 100–200-word range.

please answer as soon as possible

A 52-year-old male presented to the emergency department complaining of muscle pain and weakness for the last two day. He also noticed that his urine is becoming dark (red to brown). The patient has no history of accidents or trauma and no symptoms of anemia. The patient is known to have history of hypertension, Type II diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and ischemic heart disease. 5-weeks before he came to the emergency he had suffered a myocardial infarction. He was treated in the intensive care unit for two weeks. He recovered well and was discharged with his regular medications except that oral atorvastatin 40 mg/day was added. At that time doctors explained to him that it was becoming more difficult to control his cholesterol levels using dietary measures only, thus they added the new medicine. On examination his muscles were painful to pressure (tenderness). He has no jaundice or abnormal skin coloration. He has no signs of anemia. The blood testing results including blood cell counts, hemoglobin levels, and total bilirubin levels are all normal. Kidney function tests and urine analysis were ordered and the treating doctor is awaiting results.

1. What is the most probable diagnosis in this patient that explain the muscle pain and the dark urine? (one word, 1.5 mark)
2. Which compound in patient’s urine would you expect to be elevated supporting the diagnosis you suggested in question 1? (one word, 1.5 mark)
3. Explain what happened in the patient's body and why did it happen leading to the muscle pain and the dark urine? (30 words, 2.5 marks)
4. What is the doctor rationale behind ordering the kidney function test? (30 words, 2.5 marks)
5. What kidney function tests did you study in biochemistry course that can be used in this situation? (Three words maximum, 2 marks. Note: only the tests I mentioned in the course. Other kidney function tests copied from the internet will be considered wrong.)

Write a class called Name. A tester program is provided in Codecheck, but there is no starting code for the Name class.

The constructor takes a String parameter representing a person's full name. A name can have multiple words, separated by single spaces. The only non-letter characters in a name will be spaces or -, but not ending with either of them.

The class has the following methods. • public String getName() Gets the name string.

• public int consonants() Gets the number of consonants in the name. A consonant is any character that is not a vowel, the space or -. For this problem assume the vowels are aeiou. Ignore case. "a" and "A" are both vowels. "b" and "B" are both consonants. You can have only one if statement in the method and the if condition cannot have either && or ||. Do not use the switch statement, which is basically the same as an if statement with multiple alternatives. Hint: call method contains().

• public String initials() Gets the initials of the name. Do not use nested loops for the method. Hint for initials(): Each word after the first is preceded by a space. You can use the String method indexOf (" ", fromIndex) to control a while loop and to determine where a new word starts. This version of indexOf() returns the index of the first space starting at the fromIndex. The call of indexOf (" ", fromIndex) returns -1 if the space is not found in the string. Remember that the name does not have 2 consecutive spaces and does not end in a space.

CODE CHECK:

public class NameTester
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Name name = new Name("Allison Chung");
        System.out.println(name.getName()); 
        System.out.println("Expected: Allison Chung");
        System.out.println(name.consonants());
        System.out.println("Expected: 8");
        
        name = new Name("a-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ");
        System.out.println(name.getName()); 
        System.out.println("Expected: a-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ");
        System.out.println(name.consonants());
        System.out.println("Expected: 42");
        
        name = new Name("Alhambra Cohen");
        System.out.println(name.initials());
        System.out.println("Expected: AC");
        
        name = new Name("George H W Bush");
        System.out.println(name.initials());
        System.out.println("Expected: GHWB");
        
        name = new Name("John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt");
        System.out.println(name.initials());
        System.out.println("Expected: JJJS");
        
        name = new Name("Zorro");
        System.out.println(name.initials());
        System.out.println("Expected: Z");

1.Suppose a dictionary Groceries maps items to quantities.

    Write a python to print the names of the grocery items whose quantity exceeds 400.

    For example, if groceries = {‘cake mixes’: 430, ‘cheese’:312, ‘Orange’:525, ‘candy bars’: 217}

    The output will be

                                Cake mixes

                                Orange

2. which Python string method would be the best choice to print the number of time “the” occurs in a sentence entered by the user?

Provide a one word answer. Just name the string method.

3. write a python statement that print a massage about a persons bonus which is based on the number of years (assume its stored in numYears) that they have worked for a company?

0-5 years = “1% of gross pay”

6-10 years = “2% of gross pay”

More than 10 years = “5% of gross pay”

4. write a python state to decrement the item in the fourth position in myList by 2.

     myList=[10,20,30,40,50]

5. write a python code to print the number of even numbers of integers divisible by 3

Example someList= [10, 11, 22, 16, 9, 15]

Output should be:

                                      Number of even: 3

                                    Number of items divisible by three: 2

6. write a python statement to decrease salary by 5% when sales in below 100

7. write a python function called isValideNumber: which accepts 3 paramters:

   a. number can be any integer

b. lowerLimit can be any integer

c. upperLimit can be any integer

description:

1. check the number to see if it is between and/or including the range from lowerLimit to upperLimit
2. return True if the number is in the specified range
3. return False if the number is not within the specified range
4. note: there should not be any print statement in the function.

8. which string method would be used to create a list of words from a sentence entered by the use.

Note: just provide a one-word answer, just the name of the method

9. suppose a dictionary called Inventory pairs fruit with the quantity of that fruit. Print the Total of the quantities of the item in the dictionary.

This program is used to split the input based on the delimiter. Change the code below so that the parse function should return an array that contains each piece of the word. For example, the input to the function would be something like 'aa:bbbA:c,' which would be a char *. The function's output would then be a char ** where each element in the array is a char *. For this example, it would return some result where result[0] = 'aa', result[1] = 'bbbA', and result [2] = 'c'. So instead of doing the printing in the parse func, return each piece of the word, pass it to the main function, then do the printing in the main

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

void parsefunc (char, char*);
int string_length (char*);
char* my_strncpy (char*, const char*, unsigned int);

//Main Fucntion
int main(int argc, char *argv[] ) {

   if(argc == 1 || argc == 2){
       printf("Not enough arguments, please enter three agruments with program name, delimiter and text! \n");
   }
   else{  
   parsefunc(*argv[1], argv[2]);
   }

}

//This function is used to splip up the string and print the results
void parsefunc(char delimeter, char *input){
int count = 0;
int current = 0;
int length = strlen(input);

   //Loop through the string
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++){
       //Check for delimiter
if(input[i] == delimeter){
  
char* tempString = malloc(sizeof(char) * (count + 1));
strncpy(tempString, input+current, count);

           tempString[count+1] = '\0';
//printf("%d\n", current);
current += count+1;
printf("%s Length %d\n", tempString, count);
count = 0;
           free(tempString);

}
       //Check for delimiter
       else if(input[i+1] == '\0'){
char* tempString = malloc(sizeof(char) * (count + 1));
strncpy(tempString, input+current, count+1);

           tempString[count+1] = '\0';
//printf("%d\n", current);
current += count+1;
printf("%s Length %d\n", tempString, count+1);
           free(tempString);
}else{
count++;
}

}
}

Mr. Bailey has approached you regarding an opportunity he has to become a homeowner.  Mr. Bailey has asked you to perform a financial analysis to determine if this would be a wise move to purchase the new condominium, or if he should continue to rent.  You will create an Excel spreadsheet and a written Word document to explain the results for Mr. Bailey.  

Currently he rents a downtown condominium for $2500 per month. A neighboring unit has recently gone onto the market for $500,000. Mr. Bailey feels that this would make a great investment for him and it would make sense to stop renting and purchase this unit. Mr. Bailey can put down 20% on the new unit. He will assume a 30-year mortgage for the condominium with a 6% APR. Mr. Bailey plans to remain in the condominium for 5 years and then sell and move to suburban Berkshire Farms.

Financial Details
If Mr. Bailey purchases the condo, he will have additional monthly fees of:

$1000 HOA fee (maintenance, pool, health club)
$300 property taxes
$100 repairs

You have reviewed real estate trends and have determined that over 5 years the condo will appreciate approximately 3% per year. When he sells the condo, you estimate that he will pay 5% in commission and an additional $2,000 in closing costs.

Excel Spreadsheet:

1. Mortgage payment with costs to Buy versus Rent (Sheet 1)
2. Amortization Schedule for the mortgage (Sheet 2)
3. Present value of the proceeds if he were to sell the property in 5 years (Sheet 3)

Word Document:

In a professional 3- 5 page written analysis explain the results of your findings for Mr. Bailey. Provide a detailed written explanation of your calculations for the present value of the proceeds if he were to sell the property in 5 years. In addition, provide an explanation of the importance of the time value of money and the key decisions to be made in this buy versus rent decision. You should also include qualitative decisions to consider in this scenario for Mr. Bailey (e.g. what are some factors which influence this buy versus rent decision which should be considered).
