Lesson Six Discussion Question:

Please respond to the following discussion,

Very few would argue with the claim that the President’s role as Commander-in-Chief is the greatest formal power that a president possesses. Yet, in the Constitution, only Congress has the authority to formally “declare war.” Presidents for the last 60-70 years have openly stated that they do not need Congressional authorization to use the military to pursue America’s interests on the global stage. As proof, America has not formally declared war since WWII. So, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghanistan, and now Syria have all been military exercises, but not wars in the Constitutional sense.

Has the power of the President of the United States as Commander-in-Chief exceeded constitutional boundaries and should those powers be curtailed, given the constant state of war we find ourselves in? Or should the President’s military powers continue to expand to address the growing chaos in our world, despite the Constitution or in congruence with the Constitution? Explain your answer.

Your initial discussion postings (250-300 words) should demonstrate an understanding and analysis of the assigned readings and video. While you are welcome to incorporate additional scholarly external sources you find in your initial post, you are expected to cite mainly from the assigned material in your response demonstrating connections between your thoughts and the course resources. Please remember you are expected to cite your sources in APA format, you can review the Citation/Reference portion of the syllabus to refer to examples of APA format. In addition, you will also need to post two substantial responses (about 150-200 words) to at least two of your classmates' posts.

Abby runs a printing business and leases a building for which she pays rent of $75,000 per annum. During the year ended 30 June 2020, Abby incurred the following expenses: Painting of the exterior of the building at a cost of $12,000. The original paintwork was peeling and mouldy and did not represent the kind of look Abby wanted for her business. Re-surfacing of the dirt car park with a new non-slip cement to fill in pot-holes and create a safer environment for her customers $8,000 Replace torn awning over the front door for $1,500. The replacement awning was made of the same material as the original awning. Payment of $22,000 for a commercial embroidery machine so that Abby could introduce clothing design and printing into her business. The machine was purchased on 10 February 2020 and installed on 26 February 2020. Advise Abby if the expenses would be deductible with reference to relevant statute or other supporting documents.

Computer Dynamics (p. 175 of your textbook) is a microcomputer software development company that has a 300-computer network. The company is located in three adjacent five-story buildings in an office park, with about 100 computers in each building. The LANs in each building are similar, but one building has the data center on the second floor. There are no other office locations. The current network is poorly designed for its current needs and must be completely replaced.

1. Develop a logical design for this enterprise campus that considers the seven network architecture components. There are no other campuses, so you can omit WAN access.

2. Document the assumptions you made in approaching this design.

3. Explain why you have designed the network in this way. Make sure your answers are numbered based on the question presented. Submit as a Microsoft Word document to the correct dropbox by the due date and time posted on the D2L course calendar.

1. Why is it that lethal recessive alleles remain in the human gene pool, rather than just disappearing because of their unfavorable phenotype for homozygous recessives?

2. Scenario: A sudden flood of a large area around the Mississippi River occurs. In some local populations of a species of insects, there is greater buoyancy and survival of some individuals due to having the double recessive genotype of a gene that allowed them to accumulate more lipids to float. A year after the flood, the same and displaced local populations of the insects were reduced in size and all biased in allele frequencies toward greater frequency of the recessive allele compared to the original population’s allelic frequencies. Which of the forces that affect populations seems to have had the strongest effect?

3. Do you think the National Park Service made the correct decision not to permit a genetic rescue of the Isle Royale wolves in 2015, or should new individuals be introduced? Provide reasoning for your answer (as a biologist).

Coffee is a leading export from several developing countries. When coffee prices are high, farmers often clear forest to plant more coffee trees. Here are data on prices paid to coffee growers in Indonesia and the rate of deforestation in a national park that lies in a coffee-producing region for five years: Price(cents per pound) Deforestation (percent) 29 0.49 40 1.59 54 1.69 55 1.82 72 3.10

(a) Make a scatterplot. What is the explanatory variable? What kind of pattern does your plot show? (b) Find the correlation r step-by-step. That is, find the mean and standard deviation of the two variables. Then find the five standardized values for each variable and use the formula for r. Explain how your value for r matches your graph in (a). (c) Now enter these data into your calculator or Excel and use the correlation function to find r. Check that you get the same result as in (b).

-Pick two of the principles of green chemistry, state which 2 you chose and show how they connect to your life or intended profession. Please be very clear (as in overtly) as to which two you are selecting so that I am sure to recognize the connections you are making.

-How has the Tragedy of the Commons affected you or your family? For example, when one of the creators of this course (Ted Picciotto) was younger, he and his father would see quail frequently in the state park near their home. Since then they have all but disappeared. Only recently has the population begin to rebound very slightly. If you are not old enough to remember a change in the environment, interview a parent or grandparent if possible.

-How have your studies to date prepared you for the future world in which you live? In what ways do you think your study of chemistry will prepare you?
