The Corona spread dropping us out to our homes has impacts on any aspect on the world. Out of all, education has one of the higher importance. With more than 1,6 billion students around the world more than 80% are out of classes according to World Bank resources. On the other hand, even before the spread, education was in an unpromising situation that, only 53% of the 10 years old students understands what the text they read meant. WB calls this 'Learning poverty'. It is almost same at our country. Turkey is one of the worst countries at PISA tests that qualifies the critical education system at OECD countries. I want to find out some ideas (innovations) that would improve the global education system. Remote education, multiplatform sources, inequity, funds, technology, sharing economy, role of parents, social experience, importance of teachers, digital divide are your keywords.

You throw out the idea of working your way up the bureaucracy for obvious reasons. Instead, you decide to go into elected office. You just got elected to the Indiana State Legislature after serving for the past four years on city council. As a new member you are filled with innovative ideas and want to hit the ground running. You ask a colleague where you can find help drafting legislation on agriculture. They reply “well, if you have an idea, go to LSA to write the actual bill. But before you do that, I would go to the Farm Bureau, the major interest group for agriculture in the state, for any information you may need. We tend to get most of our information from interest groups” Why does this make sense in the context of the Indiana Legislature?

: We will be looking closely at deontology this week, as well as utilitarianism, and we will be discussing the basis of morality. Deontology is just a means of understanding normative morality. You can do this by applying such things as Kantian Absolutism or Divine Command Theory to problems of a moral nature. This week I want you to use the readings for the week to help you create an argument for or against the culture of the N. discussed in Brockmeier's, "The Jesus Stories." What can you say of them as people and of their philosophy? What would be their collective sense of morality? What does Brockmeier hint that it is? **10 or so well-rounded sentences are required for your initial posting**

X Company is planning to stop the production and sale of Product Q, which lost $8,000 last year. If Product Q is dropped, two things will happen in each of the next three years: 1) last year's loss will be avoided, and 2) sales of Product R will be increased, contributing $10,000 to annual profits. In addition, if Product Q is dropped, the company will be able to sell some equipment immediately for $14,000. Assuming a discount rate of 4%, what is the net present value of stopping the production and sale of Product Q?

Client 2: After apprenticing for another candy maker, I started my first candy business at age 18. Unfortunately, my first attempt at starting a business (as well as my second) was a failure. After a rocky start, my third try was more successful – I have just received a fortune from the sale of my caramel business. During my world travels, I discovered new equipment that makes chocolate and decided to buy it. Today, only the wealthy can afford chocolate. With this new technology, I think I can make a chocolate that everyone can afford. In my mid-thirties, I know very little about making chocolate but I am willing to take the time to learn. I want my life to center on inventing new candies, building this new business, and laying out a new community that will be a wonderful place for the people I hire to live. I prefer to leave day-to-day operations of the company—handling production, sales, marketing and distribution—to someone else.

Implement a function to find a node in a binary search tree. Using the following class and function definition:
class BTNode {
public:
int item;
BTNode *left;
BTNode *right;
BTNode(int i, BTNode *l=nullptr, BTNode *r=nullptr):item(i),left(l),right(r){}
};
BTNode *root = nullptr;
BTNode* find(int i) {
// implement
}
If a node with a matching value is found, return a pointer to it. If no match is found, return nullptr.
#include <iostream>
class BTNode {

Learning Objectives: CHAPTER 7
EXAMPLE OF WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR:
One thing I found challenging was the credits and debits concept from chapter two and matching them up, (common stock would be a cash debit and stock credit). Once I got it down it was one of those "why didn't it make sense to me sooner" moments but at the time I didn't understand and would switch things. How I approached the chapter was really to make sure I understood all the terms, ie notes payable, accounts receivable, etc. Being able to understand them without going back to the textbook made the process a bit faster and overall easier. Another thing was really taking advantage of the internet and that if there was something in the textbook I didn't understand, looking it up on Google and going through different websites and tutorials. While going through the problems I made sure to take as thorough notes as I could with information that I knew would help me moving forward, targeting the problems that were difficult for me. Being able to go back and read through something that was written in a way that made the most sense to me as an individual definitely proved helpful. I also Skyped a friend who is currently enrolled in a financial accounting class and we would work through problems together.

Write a class called Person that has two private data members - the person's name and age. It should have an init method that takes two values and uses them to initialize the data members. It should have a get_age method.
Write a separate function (not part of the Person class) called basic_stats that takes as a parameter a list of Person objects and returns a tuple containing the mean, median, and mode of all the ages. To do this, use the mean, median and mode functions in the statistics module. Your basic_stats function should return those three values as a tuple, in the order given above.
For example, it could be used as follows:
p1 = Person("Kyoungmin", 73)
p2 = Person("Mercedes", 24)
p3 = Person("Avanika", 48)
p4 = Person("Marta", 24)
person_list = [p1, p2, p3, p4]
print(basic_stats(person_list)) # should print a tuple of three
values
The files must be named: basic_stats.py
