After a series of fights at children’s weekend sports games Parliament passed the Safety in Sports Act 2012. The Minister of Sport and Recreation during the Safety in Sports Bill’s first reading stated that:
“This Bill will protect players, spectators and officials who attend sporting matches. Some spectators, in particular parents, have got carried away at sports games and fights have broken out. If spectators and players bring weapons to games the risk is that serious injury and even death may occur if weapons are used during fights. Even the sight of such weapons can be intimidating or lead to the escalation of tensions at a sports match. I am determined to ensure sports matches are safe for everyone. ”
Section 5 of the Safety in Sports Act states that:
The purpose of this Act is to protect players, officials and spectators by preventing people from bringing dangerous weapons to sports games.
Section 2 provides that:
“Sports event” means a game of organised sport run by a sports organisation.
“Weapon” includes a knife, gun, baseball bat or any other weapon.
Section 10 states that:
“It is an offence for any person to be in possession of a weapon at any sports event and is punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years.”
Section 11 states that,
“Searches under this Act may be conducted by a member of the New Zealand Police Force or an official of a sports organisation.”
Max is 16 years old. On 1 June 2012 he brought a replica plastic pistol to his Saturday morning soccer game for the Tohunga Football Club (TFC) at Grey Lynn Park. It was a birthday present from his uncle and he wanted to show it off to his friends. The pistol looked real, but it was made of plastic and could not harm anyone.
Max showed the pistol to his team mates before the game and then put it in his sports bag which his mother, Mary, held during the game. During the game the president and a member of the organising committee of the TFC conducted a search of the spectators. The pistol was found and confiscated.
Mary was charged with breaching s10 of the Safety in Sports Act 2012.
Max was expelled from the TFC for breaching s10 of the Safety in Sports Act 2012.
Steve is also at Grey Lynn Park at the same time having a casual game of touch rugby with a few friends.
They were playing 300 metres away from the Tohunga soccer match. Steve had a hammer in a backpack
which was on the ground next to where he was playing.
Steve was a builder and was going to work straight after the game. Steve never left his tools in his car as he
had had tools stolen from his car on a number of occasions.
Steve’s bag was searched by an employee of Blackwater, a security company employed by the TFC and the
hammer was discovered. Steve was charged with breaching s10 of the Safety in Sports Act 2012.
Required:
Advise whether Mary, Max and Steve have breached the Safety in Sports Act 2012?

We are interested in exploring the relationship between the weight of a vehicle and its fuel efficiency (gasoline mileage). The data in the table show the weights, in pounds, and fuel efficiency, measured in miles per gallon, for a sample of 12 vehicles.

|---|---|
| 2710 | 24 |
| 2570 | 27 |

| 4060 | 18 |
| 4710 | 15 |
e.) What percent of the variation in fuel efficiency is
explained by the variation in the weight of the vehicles, using the
regression line? (Round your answer to the nearest whole
number.)
g.) For the vehicle that weighs 3000 pounds, find the residual (y − ŷ). (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
i.) Remove the outlier from the sample data. Find the new correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

A patient that is 80 years old fell and fractured his hip. He lives by himself and his daughter lives 60 miles away from him and doesn't visit him often to help. During his care in the hospital, he was told not to do any activities like adduct his hip or internally or externally rotate his leg. he can not flex his hip more than 90 degrees. Yesterday he was found leaning over to tie his shoe during a physical therapy session. It seems like he needs multiple cueing to avoid the actions that put his hip at risk. We are reinforming these things repeatedly and the nurses said that he is communicating well but he is just not getting it. The interprofessional collaboration team wants to find a rehab facility close to where his daughter lives so she can visit more and reinforce what he needs to be doing and said that he is not fit to go home by himself.
What actions should the interprofessional team take to advocate effectively for this client?

Several months ago, Ayers Industrial Inc. experienced a hazardous material spill at one of its plants. As a result, the Environmental protection Agency (EAP) fined the company $450,000. The company is contesting the fine. In addition, an employee is seeking $420,000 in damages related to the spill. Finally, a homeowner has sued the company for $280,000. The homeowner lives 30 miles from the plant but believes that the incident has reduced the home's resale value by $280,000. Ayers legal counsel believes that it is probable that the EPA fine will stand. In addition, counsel indicates that an out-of court settlement of $180,000 has recently been reached with the employee. The final papers will be signed next week. Counsel believes that that the homeowner's case is much weaker and will be decided in favor of Ayers. Other litigation related to the spill is possible, but the damage amounts are uncertain. a. Journalize the contingent liabillities associated with the hazardous material spill. Use the account "Damage Awards and fines" to recognize the expense for the period. If an amount box.does not require an entry, ;eave it blank. b. The note disclosure would - a statement that the EPA fine is probable and would - a statement about the homeowner lawsuit

The State of Florida is considering raising the fine for red light violations this session. The theory, of course, is that higher fines deter violations. You decide to test this by taking a sample of ten states and record their 2003 state fine for running a red light and the number of cited violations per 1,000 vehicle miles (standard measure in transportation to control for highway volume). Assume enforcement is relatively equal across the states:
