In 1776, Thomas Paine suggested that America “under a government of her own” could be “as happy as she pleases: she hath a blank sheet to write upon.” What, in your estimation, are the most important things that America wrote on her slate in the more than two centuries between the first settlements and the outset of the Civil War? Why?
In 1736, a famous Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707 – 1783) started the work in the area of Graph Theory through his successful attempt in solving the problem of “Seven Bridges of Konigsberg.” Graph Theory solved many problems in multiple fields (Chinese Postman Problem, DNA fragment assembly, and aircraft scheduling.) In Chemistry, Graph Theory is used in the study of molecules, construction of bonds in chemistry, and the study of atoms. In Biology, Graph Theory is used in the study of breeding patterns or tracking the spread of disease.

options for the first two are average salary or median salary
In 1994, major league baseball players went on strike. At the time, the average salary was $1,049,589, and the median salary was $337,500. If you were representing the owners, which summary would you use to convince the public that a strikewas not needed? If you were a player, which would you use? Why was there such a large discrepancy between the mean and median salaries? Explain. Select the correct answers below. If you were representing the owners, you would use the to convince the public that a strike was not needed. If you were a player, you would use theV and median salaries differ so greatly because the distribution of salaries is symmetric.the distribution of salaries is skewed left.the distribution of salaries is skewed right. the mean is resistant to outliers, but the median is not. to convince the public that a strike was needed. The average
In 1949 the city of Sherbrooke, Quebec, built a hospital for about $500 000. In 1987 the city restored its courthouse for about $2.4 million. A price index for nonresidential construction was 14 in 1949, 92 in 1987, and 114.5 in 2000. According to these numbers, what did the hospital cost approximately?
In 1992, the FAA conducted 86,991 pre-employment drug tests on job applicants who were been gaged in safety and security-related jobs, and found that 1,143 were positive. (a) Construct a95 percent confidence interval for the population proportion of positive drug tests. (b) Why is the normality assumption not a problem, despite the very small value of p?

In 1987, Florida became a “shall issue” concealed carry state, which opened a floodgate of states who adopted similar laws. Currently, all 50 states allow some form of concealed carry. This has brought attention to many theories of self-defense and defense of others.
Please discuss the following:
In 1943, Abraham Maslow proposed a theory of motivation referred to as the hierarchy of needs. Levels 1-4 of the hierarchy pertain to achieving “deficit” human needs such as food, water, shelter, financial security, love, and respect. Maslow argues that when all of “deficit” needs are met, humans become motivated to pursue self-actualization (i.e., fulfillment of one’s potential), which is considered a “being” need. In the quote above, Maslow refers to achieving self-actualization through education. Certainly, your motivation to obtain a degree may come from the intrinsic motivation to fulfill your potential or to expand your knowledge in a subject that interests you. However, unless you are independently wealthy, you probably have more practical reasons for pursuing a degree. For example, you might be extrinsically motivated to obtain a degree because you know it will lead to a promotion and better pay, which would help you meet the “deficit” needs in Maslow’s hierarchy.
In this discussion, you will examine your motivations for pursuing a degree, based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and other theories of motivation. As you do so, keep in mind that human motivation is culturally bound, therefore, it can be difficult to generalize theories of motivation across cultures.
Post a response to the following:
Describe motivational factors that led you to enroll at Walden and that keep you enrolled. Then explain how these motivational factors might change as you progress from your first days at Walden to your first or second year. Finally, identify at least one intrinsic and one extrinsic motivation that could help keep you motivated to complete your degree. Be sure to address what role culture plays in your motivation to complete your degree.
In 1986 Murrandoo, a successful property developer, needed finance for a new property development on the Gold Coast. He approached his bank and was told by the branch manager of the bank that a loan could be arranged in a foreign currency at a low rate of interest if he was interested. At a later meeting, another bank officer spoke about the advantages of such a loan against the Australian dollar, which was strong at that time.
As a result of these conversations, Murrandoo borrowed the equivalent of A$1million in Japanese yen. At the time of the loan, the exchange rate for the Australian dollar against yen was 1:130. Over the next few years, the values of the Australian dollar fell against the yen to 1:65, effectively doubling his debt to the bank.
Has Murrandoo any recourse against the bank under the Trade Practices Act?
