I will pay for the following article THE EXCLUSIONARY RULE. The work is to be 4 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. On the other hand, under the Fifth Amendment no person “shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself” (United States Constitution, Fifth Amendment) thus, a person is protected from self-incrimination. In the same manner, the Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to counsel, thus a statement made by a person to the police without the assistance of his or her lawyer may be excluded from the court proceedings (Berg, 2008).

The application of the exclusionary rule in the United States has been defined by many leading cases decided by the Supreme Court. The case of Boyd v. United States (1886)1 is one of the earliest leading cases where the Supreme Court applied the exclusionary rule together with the Fourth Amendment. According to the Court in this case, the invasion of the “indefeasible right of personal security, personal liberty, and private property” violates the provision of the Fourth Amendment and any evidence gathered through the unreasonable search and seizure should be excluded in the court.

The application of the exclusionary rule in relation to the Fourth Amendment was later on strengthened by the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Weeks v United States (1914)2.The case of Weeks v United States (1914)3 is the first case where the United States Supreme Court established a strong exclusionary rule under the Fourth Amendment. According to the Court in this case, the warrantless seizure of objects or items from the residence of a private individual is a violation of the rights established under the Fourth Amendment and as such, these objects or items may not be used as evidences in a court proceeding. The Court also said in this case that the exclusion of these objects or items extend to the illegally obtained evidence in federal court.

I will pay for the following article The Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life: Are We Alone. The work is to be 12 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. Perhaps similar to the indigenous Native Americans or Australian Aboriginals when their worlds were discovered, named and colonized, what would we do? That is the ethical dilemma that this report will discuss.

While there are many studies regarding terraforming and colonization of uninhabited worlds, there is little to no research, thought or discussion about finding an inhabited world full of resources and perfect for humans, but with an indigenous population. If there is, it is hidden behind closed doors and yet to be revealed.&nbsp.

While science has certainly broken down barriers between countries, such as using the World Wide Web to communicate, the explosion of technology and those who use it often have less than altruistic drives and motives. Money and gain often trump research and development. This has always been the rift between science and technology and the ethical dilemma that scientists often find themselves in after seeing their research used for various unsavory purposes later on. Case in point is the founder of the Nobel peace prize, the inventor of dynamite, Alfred Nobel. A discovery he hoped would improve the progress of the species but has lead to great destruction and loss of life.

There are also certain attitudes among scientists that make the concept of moving to other populated worlds troubling as well. In an interview with the director of the Cassini Imaging Central Laboratory for Operations (CICLOPS)&nbsp.at the Space Science Institute, Carolyn C. Porco, talks about how her philosophical questioning of religion led to her interest in science and astronomy.&nbsp.

I will pay for the following article The Developmental Period of Pregnancy. The work is to be 5 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. The article uncovers vividly through extensive discussion multivariate Eriksonian developmental perspective approach for nurses to integrate unique of an unaltered body of mothers of reproductive age. In Ideal environment, the article denotes both quantitative and empirical for of research technique with much utilization of a mail survey to evaluate the evaluative behavior, aspiration factors and psychosocial well-being of reproductive mothers. The article employs a sample population of 2635 participants aged 18 to 20 years selected from the Australian longitudinal study of the survey undertaken for women health (Ramsay and Gennady, P. 16).

The article generation is based on the reality that, women of reproductive age psychological factors play a significant role in managing and understanding early childbearing and pregnancy risk issues in women of reproductive age. The research findings presented in the article provide nurses with opportunities to investigate and evaluate the process. In simple terms, the article provides the means of effective nursing interventions or nursing care plan (Ramsay and Gennady, P. 22). The means effective nursing intervention provided by the article helps nursing professions in achieving the best nursing practice in the care of early pregnancy and childbearing women based on the Eriksonian Developmental point of view. The article’s study exploits Erikson psychological development theoretical framework that has been understudied in longitudinal nursing research. Therefore, of all psychosocial factors that may face women.&nbsp.Conversely, I agree with the article coverage on the research questions as well as the contents of the subject addressed.&nbsp.

I will pay for the following article The Coca Cola Company. The work is to be 6 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. We will be looking at several types of financial ratios available in assessing the financial position of The Coca-Cola Company: Liquidity Ratios, Asset Management Ratios, Profitability Ratios and Gearing Ratios.

The quantitative findings in this segment can be found in the Appendix section of this report. The results show that The Coca-Cola Company has a good Liquidity Ratio. The company’s Current Ratio is 1.12 (0.95 in Q1 2008) and its Quick Ratio is 0.94 (0.80 in Q1 2008). This means that The Coca-Cola Company is still able to generate enough cash to settle its short-term liabilities. There has been a slight improvement in its Liquidity Ratio compared with the previous quarter. As a guide, a current ratio of 2 is ideal. However, in the company’s case, 46% of its Current Assets (42% in Q1 2008) are made up of cash and cash equivalents.

At a glance, the company’s assets are being managed efficiently. Its Inventory Turnover is 1.13 (1.07 in Q1 2008), which shows that company is trading better. Its inventories declined by 6% in the first quarter of 2009 whereas its sales increased by 3% in the same quarter of 2008. Nevertheless, the company should take note that over increasing its inventories may adversely affect its business performance. This is because costs associated with holding inventories for too long can be very expensive. As such, managing its inventories well is recommended.

There is a slight improvement in the Average Collection Days of 39 (43 Days in Q1 2008). Although the company is able to meet its short-term liabilities. it should still make an effort to improve the collection of its debts. The credit term given to its customers is not stated. however, as a guideline, 30 days is recommended. In this case, the company’s customers are enjoying slightly more than the normal credit terms and this should be monitored.

The profitability of The Coca-Cola Company is sound. Its Gross Profit Margin of 69% (64% in Q1 2008) is quite high. This is a 4% drop compared to the first quarter of 2008, due to the lower sales in the first quarter of 2009. Although, its sales performance shows a slight improvement from the previous quarter, the comparative results from the first quarter of last year did not fair as well. The company should analyze further the cause of this decline – whether the efficiency of its production dropped resulting in lower finished goods or simply experiencing slower sales due to consumer choice.

The Return on Assets and Return on Equity ratios show similar results. At 3.2% and 6.4% respectively (3.2% and 6.5% respectively in Q1 2008), these can still be improved on. The Gearing Ratio is quite low at 24% (14% in Q1 2008). Although it has nearly doubled, the results should not cause an alarm.

The estimated cost of capital of the company is 12.75%. This measures the opportunity cost of the investors that their investment is creating value. It measures what it costs to raise capital. It is advisable to have a balance between debt and equity sources. This balance should be the mix that gives the lowest possible cost of capital consistent to the attributes of the company.

I will pay for the following article The Anatomy of Glass Ceiling. The work is to be 1 page with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. In contrast with the formal barriers, “glass ceiling” pertains “to less tangible hindrances” which are mostly based “in culture, society and psychological factors” that prevent a particular group’s promotion to upper corporate positions (“The Anatomy,” 2006).

It is to have contended that “glass ceiling” exists although there is no concrete basis of its occurrence. The broadness of its concept has made it difficult for anyone to pinpoint the root cause of its existence. Facts and circumstances in the corporate world show that there is in fact disparity of power between members of particular groups. Take for example, in Norway, the country has required “each of the five hundred companies listed on the Oslo stock exchange to have a board of directors comprising at least forty percent women” in 2008 “or face significant penalties” (“The Anatomy,” 2006).

Basically, the articles suggest that the so-called “glass ceiling” really happens. The reason is not that women do not have the same capability as men or that women lack the skill to break the barrier but due to personal matters such as having a family. Women are mostly hesitant to take high-level positions “because they are not willing to make personal sacrifices” (Sellers, n.d.). Despite such attitude, it is of no doubt that women can indeed achieve “greater power at work” like Carly Fiorina, “the no. 1 on the Most Powerful Women list” in 2003 (“The Power,” 2003). However, they must use this power to make a difference by creating a family-friendly business environment (Sellers, n.d.).&nbsp.&nbsp.
