After Kelo, what takings would still be outside the scope of public use?
Consider the following scenario: Citizen A owns a large home in San Mateo County, California, on the ocean south of San Francisco, in which has lived for 15 years.
San Mateo County proposes to condemn A's home and transfer it to Citizen B for the purpose of operating a restaurant and small hotel, both open to the public
Does the taking viloate the Fifth Amendment?
Does the following excerpt from justice Steven’s opinion help?
“ It is further argued that without a bright-line rule nothing would stop a city from transferring citizen A's property to citizen B for the sole reason that citizen B will put the property to a more productive use and thus pay more taxes. Such a one-to-one transfer of property, executed outside the confines of an integrated development plan, is not presented in this case. While such an unusual exercise of government power would certainly raise a suspicion that a private purpose was afoot,17 the hypothetical cases posited by petitioners can be confronted if and when they arise.18 They do not warrant the crafting of an artificial restriction on the concept of public use”

how would you distinguish the citizen A hypothetical from kelo?

The city of Laurelville recently opened a private parking lot in its downtown area for the benefit of city residents. A guard has been hired to patrol the lot and to issue numbered parking stickers to residents submitting an application form and showing evidence of residency. Once a resident has a sticker, they may park in the lot for 12 hours for $1. The guard inspects for stickers on all parked cars, as well as the meter time gauges to see that all fees have been paid. The complete application forms are maintained in the guard's office.

By using a master key, the guard takes coins from the meters weekly and places them in a locked collection box. The guard delivers the box to the city storage department, where a clerk opens it, manually counts the coins, puts the cash in a safe, and records the total on a weekly cash report. This report is sent to the city's accounting department. The day following the cash count, the city treasure's office picks up the cash and manually recounts it, prepares a deposit slip, and makes the deposit at the bank. The deposit slip, authenticated by a bank teller, is sent to the accounting department, where it is filed with the corresponding cash report.

Required: Decribe weaknesses in this system and recommend improvements to strengthen the control procedures.

Dear All,

This week; you are going to Design a "Real World" scenario Network as specified above.

Please start with a blue print design using "Visio" software Try first to think about the "Hardware-Devices" such as Wired Switches, Routers, Cables and Wireless Access Points, Wireless Repeaters (Extenders). See and estimate the number of users for your network, and put no more than 15 users/Access points for the Wireless connection, and select the wired switches to have X number of ports so that the over-ll wired users would be efficiently covered.

Mohave Corp. is considering eliminating a product from its Sand Trap line of beach umbrellas. This collection is aimed at people who spend time on the beach or have an outdoor patio near the beach. Two products, the Indigo and Verde umbrellas, have impressive sales. However, sales for the Azul model have been dismal.       

Mohave’s information related to the Sand Trap line is shown below.       

*Allocated based on total sales revenue

     
Mohave has determined that eliminating the Azul model would cause sales of the Indigo and Verde models to increase by 10 percent and 15 percent, respectively. Variable costs for these two models would increase proportionately. Although the direct fixed costs could be eliminated, the common fixed costs are unavoidable. The common fixed costs would be redistributed to the remaining two products.     

Required:
1-a. Complete the table given below, if Mohave Corp drops the Azul line. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round Common Fixed Costs to the nearest whole dollar.)

  

1-b. Will Mohave’s net operating income increase or decrease if the Azul model is eliminated? By how much?

   

2. Should Mohave drop the Azul model?

     

3-a. Complete the table given below assuming that Mohave had no direct fixed overhead in its production information and the entire $51,000 of fixed cost was common fixed cost.

  

3-b. Should it the drop Azul model?

  

3-c. What is the increase or decrease in the net operating income of Mohave?

ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY ON MOUNT EVEREST
Many mountain climbers dream of scaling the highest mountain on Earth. It is a dangerous venture and some of them die in pursuit of this dream every year, including a 33-year-old Canadian woman in May 2012. The following describes one situation involving the ethics and responsibilities of climbers toward one another.

Page 105
In May 2006, several climbing parties passed by David Sharp, 34, who was near death at 28,000 feet on Mount Everest. He later died alone, without companionship in his final hours. He was one of 11 who perished during the 2006 climbing season and one of more than 200 who have died attempting to climb the mountain.

One climber to leave Sharp was Mark Inglis, 47, a New Zealander who was climbing the mountain on artificial legs. He and his party stopped to consider Sharp’s situation. He was in poor condition and near death, but was given oxygen. Rescue was not feasible as helicopters cannot operate at that altitude. The lives of Inglis’s party would likely have been endangered trying to move Sharp to a base camp.

It was disclosed that Sharp’s group was loosely organized without a leader. The members of the group appeared to be functioning independently according to an expedition outfitter. The outfitter said that Sharp’s group did not have sufficient oxygen and climbed without a Sherpa guide.

Discussion of the incident was extensive. One position presented was that climbers do not endanger themselves to save another. Furthermore, looking after another climber may jeopardize one’s own chance at climbing the mountain. Sir Edmund Hillary, who, with his Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, became the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest, said that human life is more important than conquering mountains. Others suggested that the incident was an example of a lack of sense of responsibility and caring for one another.

Questions
What ethical principles are involved in this situation?

Why blame Inglis?

Who is responsible?

Should the climbing of Mount Everest be regulated?

may i have the answers with relevant explanations please

PART A
A metallic spherical thin shell of radius 0.1 m is charged with a negative charge of 1 μC
a) With what minimum initial velocity should I launch an electron from very far
away so that it can reach the surface of the spherical shell?
b) With what minimum initial velocity should I launch a proton from very far
away so that it can reach the surface of the spherical shell?
c) What is the value of the electric field close to the surface of the shell?
d) If this shell is then put in contact through an electrical wire with another
metallic spherical thin shell of radius 0.05 m which is far away from the first
one and initially discharged, what will be the new value of the electric field near
the surface of the first shell?
e) What will be the value of the electric field near the surface of the second shell?
f) What are the energies of the configurations of charges before and after
connecting the two spheres with the wire
PART B
g) Imagine that the wire used in part d) to connect both spheres does not have a
negligible resistance and has instead a resistance of 1000 W . How would the
answers to d) ,e,) and f) change?
h) Explain in words what would be the difference between both cases.
PART C
i) Remove the wire connecting to the smaller sphere ( which is far away) and
just concentrate on the larger sphere .
j) Draw the magnitude of electric field as a function of the distance from the
center of that sphere. What is the value of that electric field at the following
distances from the center ( 0.2 m , 0.3 m, 0.4 m, )
k) Place a surrounding metallic hollow sphere of inner radius 0.25 m and outer
radius 0.35 m centered at the same point where your original sphere is. That
sphere is given a total charge of + 0. 8 μC.. but not connected or touching in
any way the original sphere. What is the value now at the same distances from
the center ( 0.2 m , 0.3 m, 0.4 m)?
l) What are the charges in the inner and outer surfaces of the hollow sphere?

Can you help me with part b and c
