In Susan Sontags book " On Photography" chapter 4 The Heroism of Vision explain what she talking about in the chapter, the two most important parts of the essay, the idea behind it and why the essay is important as a whole.

The Harding Corporation has $50 million of bonds outstanding that were issued at a coupon rate of 10.25 percent seven years ago. Interest rates have fallen to 9 percent. Preston Alter, the vice-president of finance, does not expect rates to fall any further. The bonds have 18 years left to maturity, and Preston would like to refund the bonds with a new issue of equal amount also having 18 years to maturity. The Harding Corporation has a tax rate of 25 percent. The underwriting cost on the old issue was 2.5 percent of the total bond value. The underwriting cost on the new issue will be 1.8 percent of the total bond value. The original bond indenture contained a five-year protection against a call, with an 8 percent call premium starting in the sixth year and scheduled to decline by one-half percent each year thereafter (Consider the bond to be seven years old for purposes of computing the premium). Use Appendix D. (Round "PV factor" to 3 decimal places.) a. Compute the discount rate. (Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.) Discount rate 6.75 6.75 Correct % b. Calculate the present value of total outflows. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter the answers in whole dollars, not in millions. Round the final answer to nearest whole dollar.) Total outflows $ 2812500 2812500 Incorrect c. Calculate the present value of total inflows. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter the answers in whole dollars, not in millions. Round the final answer to nearest whole dollar.) Total inflows $ 4801477 4801477 Correct d. Calculate the net present value. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to nearest whole dollar.) Net present value $ 1365193 1365193 Incorrect e. Should the Harding Corporation refund the old issue? Yes No

give an example of how DEA (data envelopement analysis) can be utilized to improve efficiency and operations in Public Policy or Administration (local, state, or federal) and an example of how it can improve efficiency of Business Management. I need to write a 2 pages report and please no plagiarism.

1Write an SQL statement utilizing the WHERE, LIKE, and HAVING clauses that select gender, and the email addresses that belong to female users and have an email address that contains a number (0 to 9) within it. Create an alias for the resultant email column name and name it ‘Email Addresses Female With Numbers’

2. IPV4 (Internet Protocol Version 4) addresses utilize a notation known as the dotted-quad notation. Quad because an IPV4 address is actually a series of 4 numbers separated by a dot (hence dotted quad). Each one of the numbers has a range of 0-255. For example 255.0.65.23 is a valid IPV4 address, and so is 2.2.2.2. However, 2682.586.549.365 is NOT a valid IPV4 address (thank me later for not using IPV6 addresses for this – Google IPV6 and you will see what I mean).

   1. Write an SQL insert statement that will insert 4 rows with invalid IPV4 addresses.

   2. Write an SQL statement that will find all the rows with invalid IPV4 addresses.

      1. To do this you will need to utilize regular expressions. This is the research

         component of the lab.

      2. Regular expression documentation:

         https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/regexp.html

      3. You can look up the regular expression, you do not have to write one from scratch, but it is always a good thing to look up the syntax of regular expressions to be able to understand them.

      4. You need to validate that there are 4 numbers separated by dots each with a length of 1-3 (e.g., 999.999.999.999 is considered a valid IP address in your regular expression even though it is not in reality). Validating that there are 4 numbers separated by dots each with a length of 1-3 AND are less than 256 is a little complicated, but I encourage you to take on the challenge.

      5. By now you should see how the query from b can be created in a much cleaner fashion.

If you currently own a business or are thinking about starting a business. What are defensive actions you would take to protect your business against some of the perils over which you have minimal control (taxes, interest rate, etc.)? Please I need a mini essay thanks

The purpose of this problem is to gain familiarity with stacks and queues. You have three jugs that can hold c1, c2, and c3 liters of water, respectively. Initially, jug 1 is full and the other two jugs are empty. You can repeat the following procedure any number of times: Choose two of the jugs and pour the contents of one into the other until either the first is empty or the second is full. Your goal is to end up with exactly d liters in one of the jugs. Make a program called WaterTransfer.java to determine the transfers required to reach the goal. The input is a single line containing four integers between 2 and 100 (inclusive) representing c1, c2, c3, and d. The output is a minimal sequence of jug contents, starting with the initial contents and ending with one of the jugs containing d liters. Each line of the output should consist of 3 integers separated by spaces. If no solution exists, then your program should produce no output.

Good test case: 10 5 3 4 ; from movie ”Die hard: with a vengeance”; seehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cAbgAaEOVE

For example, if the input is 20 5 3 4t hen a valid output is

20 0 0

15 5 0

15 2 3

18 2 0

18 0 2

13 5 2

13 4 3

There may be other solutions, but none with fewer transfers (6) than this one. (this code should probably use queues)

Design a Java Animal class (assuming in Animal.java file) and a sub class of Animal named Cat (assuming in Cat.java file).

The Animal class has the following protected instance variables:

boolean vegetarian, String eatings, int numOfLegs and the following public instance methods:

constructor without parameters: initialize all of the instance variables to some default values

constructor with parameters: initialize all of the instance variables to the arguments

SetAnimal: assign arguments to all of the instance variables

Three “Get” methods which retrieve the respective values of the instance variables

toString: Returns the animal’s vegetarian, eatings and numOfLegs information as a string

The Cat class has the following private instance variable:

String color and the following public instance methods:

constructor without parameters: initialize all of the instance variables to some default values, including its super class - Animal’s instance variables

constructor with parameters: initialize all of the instance variables to the arguments, including its super class Animal’s instance variables

SetColor: assign its instance variable to the argument

GetColor: retrieve the color value

overrided toString: Returns the cat’s vegetarian, eatings, numOfLegs and color information as a string

Please write your complete Animal class, Cat class and a driver class as required below

a (35 pts) Write your complete Java code for the Animal class in Animal.java file

b (30 pts) Write your complete Java code for the Cat class in Cat.java file

b (35 pts) Write your test Java class and its main method which will create two Cats instances: e1 and e2, e1 is created with the default constructor, e2 is created with the explicit value constructor. Then update e1 to reset its vegetarian, eatings, numOfLegs and color. Output both cats’ detailed information. The above test Java class should be written in a Java file named testAnimal.java.
