You will have one body paragraph for early life (before college-age); one body paragraph for college
or training (if applicable) and/or early career; one body paragraph for their main career (where most
people’s best accomplishments will be); and one body paragraph for their later life, death, and legacy.
You will also have an introductory paragraph (concluding with a thesis statement that informs the
reader of the four main sections listed above to be covered) and a conclusion paragraph.
This is an explanatory paper, meaning you are simply describing/explaining the life of your subject to
the reader. Your tone should be dispassionate; you are just a reporter. Do not inject personal spins or
feelings anywhere in this paper. Your duty here is to inform, not to argue a point. Do not use the first
person (I/me/my statements) at all (unless quoting, of course). Place yourself “in the background” in
this paper. For more information on explanatory writing, see Everyone’s An Author (pp. 252-286) and
They Say/ISay (pp. 19-51).
You will use a minimum of four sources, though you may use more. Please consider not just the public
internet and print sources, but also sources from our library’s databases (links to selected databases on
Moodle). Remember to evaluate all sources for appropriate authorship, sponsorship, and currency (see
Evaluating Sources handout on Moodle). You must cite something in-text at least once in each body
paragraph (you may cite in the intro and conclusion, but it’s not required). Don’t forget to include a
properly formatted Works Cited page, and make sure every source on your list is cited somewhere in
the paper at least once. For more information on in-text citations and MLA Works Cited pages, see the
Purdue OWL website or the Little Seagull Handbook.
Remember to adhere to MLA format (see Purdue OWL website or the Little Seagull Handbook).
Follow the rubric posted on Moodle carefully to make sure you adhere to all the requirements of the
assignment. Here are a few helpful hints.
• Cite not only after direct quotations, but also after paraphrased/summarized information. When
in doubt, do an in-text citation. It’s better to cite too much than too little.
• Avoid making an announcement (e.g. “This paper will be about…” or “In this paper, we will be
discussing…” etc.).
• Avoid using “you” whenever possible. It can upset the tone of your paper.
• Be mindful of tense. Stay in a consistent tense (in this case, past) unless you need to shift to
another tense. Then always be sure to shift back to the original tense.
• Avoid referring to your subject by their first name. It looks unprofessional. When writing about
people who are revered and respected, it’s much better to refer to them by their last name.
• Keep your tone firm and assertive. Make sure the reader feels you know what you’re talking
about. From their perspective, you’re the expert.
• Be creative when searching for sources. Think about video documentaries, audio interviews
with your subject, etc. Those can make excellent sources.

Over the past two decades, Jackson has been a profit-making firm, retaining its previous clients, in addition to capturing an increasing share of the market. However, the finance director of Jackson has recently got in touch with your professional consulting firm and has engaged your firm to provide them with an explanation of the cash flow problem that Jackson Limited had been facing. The company is also dependent on the parent based in Kenya for and when required.Following recent meetings of the senior managements in London and Kenya, it has been agreed that Jackson Limited should do expand the business further and raise the required capital in the UK, or perhaps in Europe, so as not to depend so much on cash coming from the parent company all the time. Consequently, the management of Jackson is considering the followings:New information systemJackson’s current system that is used to provide specialised services to its clients’ needs to be updated. The company is considering an investment in a more modern system and two possible alternatives have been proposed as outlined below.Golden packageGolden PackageDraft figures£’000Year012345New system’s costs11,500Cumulative Working Capital800500700200600Sales Revenue1,4005,1006,5005,0003,500Less:Segment A(540)(600)(950)(980)(1,200)Segment B(1,150)(1,650)(1,800)(2,200)(1,800)Overheads(200)(250)(350)(320)(310)All of the above estimates have been prepared in terms of present day cost and prices. Assume that cash flows arise at the end of each period. In additionRevenues are expected to rise by 4% in price terms per year from year 1 (start of year 2) the budget estimated selling price at start was £120.Overheads and working capital are expected to rise by 4% per year from year 1 (start of year 1)The cost of Segment A and Segment B are expected to rise in line with inflation of 4% per year from the beginning of year 1The working capital is cumulative and will be recouped at the end of year 5The cost of System Experts (SE), who have come from the Kenya have not been taken into consideration in the forecast and are as follows:System Expert 1 (SE1): Will be paid £130 per hour and expected number of hours for SE1 are 1,300hrs. The rate paid is expected to rise in line with inflation at 4% per year from year 2 and the number of hours is expected to reduce by 3% per year, every year from year 2 onwards.System Expert 2 (SE 2): Will be paid £125 per hour and expected number of hours for SE2 are 1,400hrs. The rate paid is expected to go up in line with inflation at 4% per year from year 2 and the number of hours is expected to reduce by 4% per year, every year from year 2 onwards.If Jackson Limited invests in Golden Package, then the discount rate that would be required to assess the NPV would be 10%. The table above shows the estimated outgoings and inflows for the project. Premier CentreThe Sales Manager of Jackson has just informed your company that they plan to open a centre in the UK, with a possible start date of business on 1 August 2020. You have also been informed that to start with, the company will only sell 2 new types of service packages, that of Basic Level (BL) and the Professional Level (PL). The intentions here is to test the market and check whether they can achieve break-even in the same period. A recent market research has suggested that these two are the most popular systems and will be offered at £350 for BL and £450 for PL.You have also been provided with the following information regarding the costs and estimated sales for the period mentioned above.Jackson Limited intends to put in £6,000 as start-up capital and plan to sell a total of 1,200 (combined) of BL and PL for the same period. They are not sure which of the two types of service packages will produce the most profits for Jackson.Total budgeted sales for each month are as follows: August 400, September 400 and October 400, of which 40% of each month will be for BL. You will be required to assess the best product combination of sales for the period.To help with the setup of the new Centre, the company has just concluded a deal with one of the high street banks to get a loan of £30,000 on the 1st of August 2020. The interest on this loan will be 3.5% to be paid every month. The company will be required to make 12 equal payments to repay the loan starting end of September 2020.Financial informationAs mentioned above the company plans to sell a total of 1,200 units of the service packages between 1 August and October 2020. The fixed costs for the period are as below:Rent£ 18,000Cleaning£ 1,700Loan Interest£ 3,150General insurance£ 7,500Light and heating£ 4,200Local authority charges£ 4,550Fixed cost specific to each service packageBLFLMarketing20,500£ 25,000Admin costs£ 9,500£ 11,500Staff Salary£ 18,000£ 25,000From their costs estimates, the variable costs of the services are £150 for the BL and £200 for the PL. The fixed costs are for the whole period, so they are not affected by the level of service. However, the variable costs will increase with services output (ie sales output multiplied with variable cost per service package).Revenue from the sale of BL and PL will be on the basis of 40% cash in the same month, and the remaining 60% credit to be paid the following month.

I’m working on a nursing question and need a sample draft to help me understand better.
Please respone Mariane Sule RE: Discussion – Week 7 Initial postCOLLAPSECase: An elderly widow who just lost her spouse. Three questions to ask the patient and a rationale for asking these questions.The three questions I will ask the patient are: 1) Have you ever had any past history of depression. 2) How do you cope day by day after the loss of yours? 3) Do you regularly take your medication? The reasons for asking those questions are because: It’s important to know what the patient’s mental health has been like before her husband’s death or if the patient may be experiencing recurrent depression. It’s equally important to know if the patient has any support system after her husband. Because the lonely she becomes the more difficult it is for the patient to find comfort or have better coping mechanisms. The reason for asking if the patient regularly takes her medication is to find out how much the patient is affected by the actual situation of “mourning her husband”. Because people who experience difficult situations such as mourning, depending on the relationship they have, the window may end up losing interest in everything including taking the daily medication. It is also important to know if he is physically incapacitatedPeople in the patient’s life to speak to or get feedback from to further assess the patientI would elicit this information first and also find out if she has any children and or possibly a guardian. Depending on this information and whom; I would want more information and clarification on her living situation, socioeconomic status. I would ask about a support network- does she have friends/family, someone to talk to. I would ask her about her sleep habits, does she nap during the day? What does she do before going to bed? Physical and diagnostic testsThe type of physical exam that would be appropriate for the patient would include a heart rhythm check, an assessment of the eye, and her oxyhemoglobin saturation. Diagnostic checks suitable for the patient would include actigraphy tests and polysomnography tests. The main aim of these tests will be to measure the sleeping patterns of the patient. polysomnography test looks into the patient’s sleep pattern while actigraphy measures total sleep time, sleep latency, and sleep patterns.Differential diagnoses for the patientThe patient’s differential diagnoses include generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder (MDD), and restless leg syndrome. MDD would likely explain why the patient is currently experiencing insomnia. Some key takeaways would be difficulty in concentration, loss of appetite, and hopelessness (Keller et al., 2019). If these symptoms would be available, then she would be diagnosed with insomnia. After her husband’s death, the patient might have developed depression and later affected her sleeping pattern. Patients that are experiencing sleeping disorders are likely to be diagnosed with sleeping disorders (Bollu & Kaur, 2019).Pharmacologic agents and their dosingSelegiline The transdermal patch would be administered with the patient being advised to take a 6mg daily dose applied every day. If she doesn’t improve, then an increase of dosage by 3 mg daily for two weeks will be prescribed till the total dosage reaches 12 mg daily. The purpose of Selegiline The transdermal patch will be to inhibit the monoamine Oxidase-B isoenzyme (Puttrevu et al., 2020).Eszopiclone with a dosage of 3 mg administered orally before the patient goes to bed is prescribed. The drug is recommended for the fight against insomnia as it reacts with the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors at the allosterically binding sites at the benzodiazepine receptors. The drug method of action is to slow down brain activities hence allowing sleep i.e., induce sedation and hypnosis to allow sleep (Rösner et al., 2018).Drug therapy contraindicationsOne of the contradictions of using Selegiline The transdermal patch would be the increased risk of serotonin syndrome i.e., taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, mirtazapine, and other vasoconstrictors and analgesics (Puttrevu et al., 2020).CheckpointsThe patient will be assessed after a four-week interval to determine if the symptoms have improved. If the symptoms have not improved after four weeks, selegiline transdermal will be increased by 3mg for four weeks until 12mg which is termed as the maximum dosage. If within the first four weeks the symptoms would have changed positively, then the dosage is maintained till the patient completes the dosage in which the sleep problem would be effectively managed.

Read the scenario and then answer the questions. You need to respond to another juror(classmate) to get full credit. Remember to cite the text at least once to support your decision. As usual, spelling and grammar count. The case of the crazy Lawnmower Paul, a mechanical engineer, bought a lawnmower from Lawncore Co. for $499. The salesman said it was an excellent quality lawnmower and even professionals used the same one. There had never been a complaint. It had a 30 day limited warranty on parts and labor. There was also a disclaimer that the manufacturer, designer and retailer were not responsible for any injuries caused by improper assembly or use. Everything was assembled by Lawncore, except the handle needed to be attached at home. The mower was assembled on March 1. Paul did not get a chance to use it until April 4 because he had to go out of state due to the death of his brother. On April 1 when he started cutting his lawn, a blade broke off and cut his neighbor who was looking at the new lawnmower. Then the lawnmower suddenly stopped working. The neighbor’s leg was cut. Paul did not get to finish cutting his lawn. He took his neighbor to the hospital. The neighbor’s medical bills amounted to $10,000. Paul took the lawnmower back to Lawncore Co. to tell it of the injuries to his neighbor and to get it repaired. The salesman first said it was too late as the warranty was only for 30 days. Paul said , but “it does not work” and it caused an injury to the neighbor. The salesman then said that it was Paul’s fault because he must have improperly assembled the handle. You are on the jury. You need to answer the two questions below. Who is responsible for the injuries to the neighbor? Explain. Have any warranty(s) been breached? Explain which ones, how and why?

A Critical Analysis of Presidential Campaign Advertisements
Introduction. The 2012 presidential campaign broke all records for campaign advertisements during an election campaign. The total amount spent on television advertising on the two major party candidates reached $900 million with over 1 million ads being aired. (Washington Post’s Analysis on Campaign Ad Spending) The vast majority of this money is being spent on ads that are commonly no more than 30 seconds long, and yet they are often credited with tremendous influence in determining the winning candidate. In the half-century since presidential candidates first started using television advertisements, these “spots” have become a vital part of any political campaign.
Background. Campaign ads are products of the time periods in which they were made. It can be said that they are historical artifacts – whether they address timely issues or more general themes, they can help teach us what mattered to voters in a given campaign. And when we look at a sampling of campaign advertisements from the past 60 years of presidential campaigns, we can come to an understanding of the extent to which presidential elections, the media and the issues that matter to voters has changed.
Your task: Today we are going to take a close look at campaign advertisements from several elections over the course of the second half of the twentieth century. Choose an election year to learn about
Use the website from the Museum of the Moving Image called The Living Room Candidate (www.livingroomcandidate.org)

Problems of the Poorest People, Capital Flight, and Migration Essay
Introduction Globalisation is probably on of the most controversial issues in the world history: many people find it as an amazing possibility to achieve success and make use of a number of opportunities, still, some people, for example the citizens of South Africa, suffer a lot because of inabilities to solve their problems and eliminate poverty that decreases the level of human lives considerably. There are many writers and researchers like Dicken (2007) or Ravenhill (2008) who investigate the economic perspective of globalisation, however, not all of them manage to discuss the chosen issue in a proper way. In this paper, the work by a famous British professor, Paul Collier, will be evaluated in order to prove that the poorest billion of people have already integrated into the world economy by means of capital flight and migration, still, the outcomes of such integration are not as successful as they are in the countries like the USA or China. The Bottom Billion: Why the Poorest Countries Are Falling and What Can Be Done about It is the book where the author evaluates the level of developmental aid offered to the developing countries like Africa and underline the advantages and disadvantages of the process of globalisation. Africa has bad governance, one of the four traps defined by Collier in the book, that is not ready to use the full potential of the country. This is why the citizens of South Africa have to make use of capital flight and migration in order to continue developing and becoming a recognisable country on the world’s arena. Collier’s attempt to discuss the difficulties existed in developing countries is powerful indeed; poverty is the challenge that has to be overcome by the Africans by means of proper understanding of the main ideas of globalisation, four traps which are dangerous for the country, and the possible instruments like capital flight or migration, which may be used to overcome poverty and find another way to success. Poverty as the problem to be solved Poverty is the challenge that not all nations are able to overcome. Sachs (2005, p. 10) admits that even if some countries like China or Canada are lucky enough to overcome poverty and stabilize citizens’ lives, it does not mean that poverty will never influence human lives again or create some new risks for human survival. Get your 100% original paper on any topic done in as little as 3 hours Learn More It is wrong to believe that poverty may be completely illuminated from human lives, and in order to succeed in development, people have to understand the main reasons of poverty and the conditions under this problem may appear again. However, there are a number of countries where poverty is not that huge problem anymore; China, Canada, the USA are the best examples of such countries. Collier explains that even such developing countries like Africa are able to create a certain paradigm by means of which people can shift away poverty and set new goals to be developed. Acemoglu and Robinson (2006) discover that “the European presence in South Africa began in 1652 when the Dutch East Indian company founded a colony in Table Bay” (p. 10). It was a kind of the starting point after which the country was not able to control the activities which took place on its land, and the Africans could help but fighting poor conditions of living. Types of traps for people In order to understand how poorest people may integrate in the world economy through capital flight and migration, Collier offers to define poverty as not the only trap which the countries may fall into. What he suggests is to pay more attention to the four types of traps which are dangerous for different countries. These traps are the conflict trap, the natural resource trap, the bad governance trap, and the landlocked with bad neighbours trap (Collier 2007, p. 5). The author underlines that poverty cannot be intrinsically a trap as much more countries remain to be poor; this is why Lesotho, Botswana, and other countries in the South Africa still get a chance to overcome this challenge in case they clearly identify what else may lead to poverty. The citizens of South Africa are actually in several traps at the same time, still, the most terrible trap for the country is the one of bad governance. In a number of small countries, governance plays a very important role in promoting economic development. However, it happens that small governments are usually eager to achieve some personal benefits and decide to corrupt or choose some bad policies. This is why it is hard to understand how economic development may occur under such conditions. It is necessary to admit that South Africa as well as the rest of the countries on the continent is characterized by impressive workforce that may be developed along with the coast. Unfortunately, the government of the country does find it beneficial to make use of natural sources but rely on aid-flows which may be received from different developed countries. We will write a custom Essay on Problems of the Poorest People, Capital Flight, and Migration specifically for you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More The bad governance trap is not the only one that exposes to danger the whole country. Collier says that the landlocked with bad neighbours trap may also challenge the country. Most African countries have to be geared to the world market or be enclosed. And even if some countries have appropriate geographic location, its citizens are not able to benefit from this natural gift. For example, African economies are more inward looking, this is why when the time to increase its neighbour comes, the vast majority of Central African countries which are far from the coast do not have enough sources to take the step required and the countries suffer because of such landlocked trap. Switzerland is another example of a landlocked country; still, it continues advantaging from cooperating with Germany and Italy in the market sphere. Though the natural resource trap is not as dangerous for Africa as for other billion countries, the government cannot find practical application to the already defined sources. This is why even this trap may become dangerous for the country under consideration. The last trap that plays a crucial role in economic development in Africa is connected to the conflicts which are inherent to the country. Brett (2008) mentions that during the 1970s, post-colonial Africa overcame the economic crisis that was based on the “intense conflict over political control and resource allocation, and a shift to military or authoritarian rule” (p. 340). The possibility to escape the traps The peculiar feature of the book introduced by Collier is that the author does not lose hope to improve the economic conditions in billion poorest countries and does offer a number of ideas of how and when the country should start its development. The examples of how African countries may be developed are observed in the successful development of Botswana that “had the highest rate of per-capita growth of any country in the world in the last 35 years” (Acemoglu, Johnson,
