Use Worksheet 8.1 Katie Holt is a 72-year-old widow who has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. She has limited financial assets of her own and has been living with her daughter Laurie for 2 years. Her only income is $1,050 a month in Social Security survivor's benefits. Laurie wants to make sure her mother will be taken care of if Laurie should die. Laurie, 40, is single and earns $65,000 a year as a human resources manager for a small manufacturing firm. She owns a condo with a current market value of $65,000 and has a $46,000 mortgage. Other debts include a $3,000 auto loan and $400 in various credit card balances. Her 401(k) plan has a current balance of $51,000, and she keeps $9,000 in a money market account for emergencies. After talking with her mother's doctor, Laurie believes that her mother will be able to continue living independently for another 3 years. She estimates that her mother would need about $2,100 a month to cover her living expenses and medical costs during this time. After that, Laurie's mother will probably need nursing home care. Laurie calls several local nursing homes and finds that it will cost about $5,000 a month when her mother enters a nursing home. Her mother's doctor says it is difficult to estimate her mother's life expectancy but indicates that with proper care some Alzheimer's patients can live 10 years after diagnosis. Laurie also estimates that her personal final expenses would be around $14,000, and she'd like to provide a $15,000 contingency fund that would be used to pay a trusted friend to supervise her mother's care if Laurie were no longer alive. Use Worksheet 8.1 to calculate Laurie's total life insurance requirements. In your analysis, assume an incidental special need amount of $14,000.

Pepsi is a carbonated soft drink manufactured by PepsiCo. Coca-Cola, or Coke, is a carbonated soft drink manufactured by The Coca-Cola Company. These two drinks are popular all over the world. They share quite similar color and taste thus it is hard to say which one is better than the other. Forty people are randomly selected to determine which one is better. Each person is blind-folded and asked to drink a small cup of Pepsi and the same amount of Coke. Since they are blind-folded, they don’t know which drink they are drinking. Then they are asked to select which drink they prefer.

c.) What is the factor or treatment in this study?
40 cups of Pepsi and Coke
The drink people prefer
Type of drinks
All people around the world
All drinks
40 participants

(0.5 pts.) d) What is the outcome variable of this study?
All drinks
Type of drinks
The drink people prefer
40 participants
All people around the world
40 cups of Pepsi and Coke

(1 pt.) e) State a possible source of bias in this study. Feel free to speculate beyond the explicit statement of the question. However, nothing that is assumed can be contradicted by what is stated. Please include any assumptions that you are making.

Many proponents of environmental safety and public health are concerned about the creation, spread, and potential impact of genetically modified foods. The United States, Canada, and Argentina are some of the leading producers of genetically modified foods made from bioengineered organisms (GMOs). The U.S. government believes that GMOs are important for the world’s food supply because they can boost food production and nutrition and lead to both disease-resistant crops and better-tasting foods. Many respected scientific studies vouch for the safety of GMOs for human and animal consumption and on the Earth’s environment. GMOs are important to U.S. agriculture economically. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, approximately three-quarters of U.S. soybean and cotton production and over one-third of corn production are genetically modified. However, many consumer groups and countries argue that the dangers to humans, wildlife, and the environment are unknown. Genetically modified corn and soy were approved for sale in the EU prior to 1998, but the European countries ceased new approvals after that time. In addition, the EU and several other countries have adopted regulations requiring the tracing of biotech crops through the chain of distribution, and they imposed strict labeling requirements on all foods and animal feed containing more than 1 percent GMO. European consumers who fear GMO foods will not purchase products with these labels. The United States claims that the requirements are expensive and unnecessary and have cost U.S. farm exporters hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenues. In 2003, the United States requested a WTO panel to decide whether the moratorium and labeling requirements violate the WTO Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement. Research the history of the WTO’s deliberations. What was the outcome? Can you find any decisions of the European Court of Justice on GMOs? What is the current state of EU legislation on GMOs? What is your opinion? Do you think that GMOs should be permitted, or do you think they present some possible harm to the environment or to public health?

c++

(1) Create a class, named Board, containing at least one data member (two-dimensional array) to store game states and at least two member functions for adding players’ moves and printing the game board. Write a driver to test your class.

(2). The data type of the two-dimensional array can be either int or char. As a passlevel program, the size of the board can be hardcoded to 10 or a constant with a pre-set value, anything between 4 and 20

(3). Set the initial state of the board as follows: assuming the size of the board is m*m, the initial position of red player is at (2, 2) and the blue player is at (m-1, m-1) as shown below (where m=5).

|    | | | | |  

| | R | | | |

| | | | | |

| | | | B | |

| | | | | |

(4). program should be able to accept human players’ moves. The format of input can be a pair of characters from ‘U’, ‘D’, ‘L’ and ‘R’. For instance, (U, L) means that the red player plays “up” and the blue player players “left”.

(5). program should be able to check if a move terminates the game (either a player crashes or two players collide). If a move does not terminate the game, the board state should be updated in accordance with the move.

(6). program should redisplay board state after each legal move. The layout of display must be text-based, similar to the following, where ‘R’ stands for red player, ‘B’ for blue player and ‘O’ for visited cells.

|    | O | | | |  

| | R | O | | |

| | | | | |

| | | | B | O |

| | | | O | |

7. Take an input from the user to set the size of the board. For easy display, you can
place a restriction on the board size to 4 - 20. The size should be passed to the board class
via its constructor.

(8). Since the dynamic array needed is two-dimensional, you might have to declare a
pointer of pointers of either int or char to point to the array.

I have implemented till task 6, i need help with 7 & 8.

This text is justified, meaning that the words are arranged so that both the left and right margins form straight lines. This is accomplished by varying the amount of space between words and characters in the text. Unfortunately, there are limits to this technique since uneven spacing eventually becomes noticeable to the human reader. Your job in this problem is going to be determining where to put line breaks in a sequence of words to make the most visually-pleasing justified paragraph.

You are given an array of word lengths (the lengths include space needed for whitespace and punctua- tion). We are assuming the every character occupies the same amount of space and that lines have room for 80 characters. You need to determine the number of words to put onto each line. Your selection must limit the number of characters per line to 80 or less. For example, consider the sequence 20, 20, 20, 10, 10, 10, 20, 15, 40. One possible solution would be 5, 3, 1 (i.e. 5 words on the first line, 3 on the second, and 1 on the third), which puts 80 characters on line 1, 45 on line 2, and 40 on line 3. A second solution would be 4, 4, 1, which puts 70 characters on line 1, 55 on line 2, and 40 on line 3.

The quality of your line breaks will be judged based on all lines except the last, which is ignored since the last line of a paragraph can be of any length. Every other line contributes the square of the number of unused characters on that line. You are asked to minimize the sum of these squares. For example, the first solution above has cost 02 + 252 = 1, 225 while the second has cost 102 + 252 = 725.

Give a fast dynamic programming algorithm to find the optimal set of line breaks. Be sure to explain how to get the actual locations of the line breaks (not just the optimal cost). Argue for your algorithm’s correctness and analyze its running time.

1. It is a command that when HR managers hear the term stereotyping, they start thinking about discrimination and harassment concerns. Many cultural and generational differences take stereotyping over the line to discrimination. For example, The new Chinese accountant, Zhu Li, who eats culturally authentic meals could be an easy target for someone who wants to make fun of his heritage and his ethnic cuisine choices. That is probably no intended harm in the nickname, but unless someone asks Zhu, no one will know if he finds it unpleasant or no. Chances are that Zhu may see that ethnic joking around offensive like other people.

2. The attribution process is basically understanding the causes of events or behaviors. In real life, attribution something we do every day. usually without any awareness of the underlying processes and biases that lead to our conclusions.

For example, working at offices on a typical day, you probably do various attributions about your own behavior as well as that of the people around you. When you didn't prepare a good project, you might blame one of your managers. When your co-worker does a good project you might attribute his good performance to luck. Ignoring the fact that he has excellent working habits.

3. Impression Management, the process that people control the impressions of others, represents an outstanding role in inter-personal behavior. All sorts of organizations consist of individuals with a variety of personal characteristics; therefore those are important to control them effectively. Recognizing the behavior manner of any of these individual characteristics, interactions between them, and interpersonal relations are on the basis of the impressions given and taken. And, understanding one of the important determinants of individual social relations benefits to gain a large insight into human beings. Impressive management also creates an excellent working environment.

Do you agree with the post above? why?

1. List the major entities identified in the table above

2. After examining the table carefully identify candidate keys. Remember from the lecture that a candidate key field has to be unique, but should not hold private information that might compromise person's identity. For example SSN is unique and can be used to determine student information, so it is a candidate key, but using SSN might compromise student security for that it will not be used as primary key. The combination of first name and last name is not unique and cannot be used as a candidate key. Once the candidate keys been identified, some will be as primary keys and will be used to normalize the table. To connect the tables, the primary key of one table can be used as a foreign key in the other.
