For our discussion forum, we will share grade-appropriate books that promote multicultural awareness and appreciation.

Identify one book that you think would be useful in teaching multicultural awareness to primary grade children.

State why you chose the book.

Based on your selected book, explain one learning objective appropriate for primary grade children.

Plan and describe one follow-up activity, and specify materials you would use as part of the activity.

Describe one change you would make to the classroom environment that would reinforce the learning objective.

The Outdoor Furniture Corporation manufactures two products: benches and picnic tables, for use in yards and parks. The firm has two main resources: its carpenters (labor force) and a supply of redwood for use in the furniture. During the next production cycle, 1,200 hours of labor are available under a union agreement. The firm also has a stock of 3,500 board feet of quality redwood. Each bench that Outdoor Furniture produces requires 4 labor-hours and 10 board feet of redwood; each picnic table takes 6 labor-hours and 35 board feet of redwood. Completed benches will yield a profit of $9 each, and tables will result in a profit of $20 each. How many benches and tables should Outdoor Furniture produce in order to obtain the largest possible profit?

The optimum solution is:

Number of benches produced equals = (round your response to the nearest whole number).

Number of tables produced equals = (round your response to the nearest whole number).

Optimal solution value = $ (round your response to the nearest whole number).

and a system of ethics?

You have just been hired as editor of a new monthly employee newsletter for a chain of fast-food restaurants.

Managements goals for the year are to

(1) increase market share,

2) build teamwork,

(3) improve customer service, and

(4) reduce overhead costs.

To encourage newsletter engagement, management has suggested using stories from the Wall Street Journal, Restaurant Business and Modern Restaurant Management. How does copyright law influence the content of the newsletter? What is the extent of government regulation related to creation of an employee newsletter?

1- Paper evaluation scenario
a) Draw an ERD for the following relational schema:
STUDENT (STD_ID, STD_First_Name, STD_Last_Name, STD_Admit_Semester,
STD_Admit_Year, STD_Enroll_Status)
PAPER (PP_ID, PP_Title, PP_Submit_Date, PP_Accepted, PP_Type)
The two entities are related with the following business rule:
• Each student may write many papers
Explain your choice of minimum and maximum cardinalities.

b) Extend the existing ERD with an EVALUATOR entity. The job of the evaluator is to
grade each paper. The following business rules apply:
• Each paper is evaluated by at least 3 evaluators
Add four attributes of your choice to the EVALUATOR entity and extend the ERD. The
final solution must be an implementation ready ERD, which means you may need to add
additional entities or attributes to your ERD. In case you add additional entities, please
justify your choice of entities, primary keys, relationship types, and cardinalities.

I need this answer in Visual Paradigm please and also a very good reasoning for the cardinalities and extra entities

16) DAB manufacturing uses wholesalers and retailers—wholesalers markup was 20 percent and retailers markup of 40 percent. If the retail selling price is $100 and the manufacturer's cost is $30, what is the gross profit DAB receive on the sale of one unit? A) $16.00 B) $13.50 C) $15.00 D) $18.00 E) $17.25

17) Gordon Jones is considering purchasing a computer from Best Buy. He has created a scale for rating eight different computers on three different characteristics. He plans to make a short list of only those computers that score at least a 7 on his scale on all three characteristics. Which of the following choice heuristics has he chosen? A) elimination-by-aspects heuristic B) lexicographic heuristic C) conjunctive heuristic D) anchoring and adjustment heuristic E) representativeness heuristic

18) Costco purchases a 24-pack of bottled water from a wholesaler for $4.80 and wants a markup of 20 percent. What is the price that Costco charges its customers? A) $6.25 B) $6.75 C) $5.95 D) $6.00 E) $7.25

19) If a consumer sets a minimum acceptable level for each attribute and chooses the first alternative that meets those conditions then she is using the following decision rule: A) primary B) lexicographic C) elimination-by-aspects D) conjunctive E) compensatory model

A common room pricing strategy used by hotels is to price each day for which this room can be reserved, as discussed in the lecture. The price of a stay is then the sum of the day prices spanned by the stay (i.e., checkin and checkout dates). Full-service airlines, as you may already know, typically price itineraries. a. Explain the differences between day pricing of hotel rooms and the pricing of airline itineraries? (i.e. What is the product?, What is the resource?, and What is being priced?) b. Consider the purchase of a customized laptop on Dell’s website. Customization involves choosing laptop components that have different price points. The choice of components determines the ultimate price of the laptop. Explain why the day pricing of hotel rooms is a special case of the problem of pricing laptop components being shown to customers in Dell’s website. c. Why is Dell’s pricing problem more complicated than the pricing problem faced by a hotel?

1. What forces shaped the culture in the country of UAE and Dubai in particular? How similar or different are these forces from those that shaped the culture of Western nations?

Write a function that takes a string as an argument checks whether it is a palindrome. A palindrome is a word that is the same spelt forwards or backwards. Use similar naming style e.g. name_pal. E.g. If we call the function as abc_pal(‘jason’) we should get FALSE and if we call it a abc_pal(‘pop’) we should get TRUE.

Hint: define your function as abc_pal(str). This indicates that string will be passed. Next create two empty lists L1=[] and L2=[] . Also create counter and set it to zero (e.g. i = 0). Now use a while loop e.g. while i < len(str) and use the append method to fill both empty lists i.e. List1.append(str[i]] and for list2 you need to reverse the order of filling i.e. L2 will be filled from the last letter to the first letter of the argument string. Lastly check if L1 is equal to L2 if the string is an anagram, simply use return L1==L2 this will return TRUE or FALSE as the case may be.

NB: Please use spider in anaconda(python) and include a picture of the code

HOW CAN I USE a string instead of array tries and res on this assignment, with out impacting the program or modifying too much on conditions  check code bellow
