>Reading homework help

For this assignment, I’m asking you to read two short essays on exile from the same collection, which can be found in Week 12 Readings. They both take exile to mean very different things, but I think both are useful for giving a variety of ways to think through what it means to “belong” from somewhere–or not to belong anywhere.
Your answer to the questions below should be at least 400 words.
1. What do you take to be the fundamental difference between the way these two texts characterize exile/belonging?
2. Comment: For each text, comment on the ways that the text builds on, challenges, or enriches your understanding of place/space. Make connections to ideas we’ve been discussing in the class and make connections between texts. Use specific examples from the texts assigned today to show that you read and that you are engaging with the text and thinking through the ideas in the text. Note: do not merely summarize each text. Your comment should show what you are thinking about. What are you thinking about now that you’ve read these texts–that you weren’t thinking about before you read these texts? You may reference other discussions we’ve had to make connections and build on previous conversations. Your main goal here is to a) show you read and b) show the ideas that are “clicking” for you, personally–especially as those ideas relate to space, place, identity, and travel.
3. Connect: Draw specific connections to something beyond the readings for today, including particular academic/non-academic experiences, texts, and contexts. You might make connections to another part of your life/experience in or out of the university, a connection to another part of our class, a connection to another class you are taking or have taken, a connection to an issue in the media, etc.
4. Question: What is one question or idea you hope we discuss in class?

PORTFOLIO ASSIGNMENT

This assignment will serve as the “Portfolio Assignment” for this course. A portfolio assignment is an applied assignment that showcases your ability to apply what you learned in this class. You are encouraged to create a free DU portfolioLinks to an external site. in which you can store evidence of what you learned (such as papers, projects, and key course assignments) as you move throughout your coursework at University College. You have the ability to share the portfolio with potential employers or colleagues. Keeping a portfolio will allow you to reflect on, provide context for, and continue to hone your work samples as you build knowledge and skills throughout your time at DU.

PURPOSE OF ASSIGNMENT

This assignment will bring together the learning from the previous assignments. Collect together all your work thus far and put it into a coherent unified high-level design for the system. You are welcome to use previous assignments verbatim where appropriate although you should be sure to incorporate the feedback on them.
As a reminder, here’s the original description of the system we’re creating:
Have you ever stopped to consider what happens when you’re shopping online? In between entering your credit card information and the money getting charged to your account is a very complex set of interactions. During this class, we will explore a simplified payment processing system that does exactly this. We’ll create a design for it and provide sample implementations for some of the components.
Let’s take a look at some of the details of a payment processing system.

FORMS OF PAYMENT

To keep this simple we’ll assume that we only accept credit cards for payment.

FRONTEND

The happy shopper needs some way to enter their payment details.

ONLINE STORE

The storefront needs an interface to the processing system where they can enter the shoppers’ details, get confirmation that they can charge the card, and collect the money afterwards.

CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS

Paying by credit card, whether online or in a physical shop, follows a two-step process.
When your card is first run, it performs an “authorization”. This authorization takes the credit card details and the amount requested and sends them to the credit card company. The company then looks up the card and verifies whether or not the payment will succeed. A status code (OK or some kind of error code) is returned, along with an authorization code if the status is OK.
Later on (e.g. once an hour, once a day) all of these authorizations are collected up into a single batch and sent as “payment requests” to the credit card company. A payment request contains the same information as the initial authorization along with the authorization code that was returned. The credit card company will respond with statuses for each payment request and all the money for those requests that succeeded is transferred into the store’s bank account.

PAYMENT PROCESSING SYSTEM

The system needs to implement credit card processing as described above.

CREDIT CARD COMPANY

We shall assume we use a single credit card processor and that processor provides us with an interface for performing authorizations in real time and batch payment requests.

ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

This assignment will bring together the learning from the previous assignments. Collect together all your work thus far and put it into a coherent unified high-level design for the system. You are welcome to use previous assignments verbatim where appropriate although you should be sure to incorporate the feedback on them. You should also incorporate code from the previous assignments as necessary to illustrate your designs. If you use small snippets, then they can go in the document, otherwise, you should organize the code in a coherent package structure and submit it with the document in a zip file.
 
 

FORMATTING AND STYLE REQUIREMENTS

SAMPLE OUTLINE

Below we include a sample outline that you may use for inspiration. It is not required that you follow this outline; this is provided merely as a guide. Should you use it you must remove all the text that describes the purpose of the relevant section.

INTRODUCTION

Describe the payment processing system from a high level in your own words.

REQUIREMENTS

Provide the basic requirements that your system will satisfy. Include a section on “non-requirements” as appropriate. The latter would be a good place to mention that you won’t support payment types other than credit cards.

HIGH-LEVEL DESIGN

Capture the major components of the system and how they interact with one another. A mixture of text and diagrams would be best here. Make sure you cover the full control flow, starting from the user and ending at the credit card processor.

COMMUNICATION

Document the communication protocol you will use across the entire system. It’s possible, even likely, that different parts will use different protocols (e.g. HTTP between the user’s web browser and the payment system; JSON internally to the system; proprietary database driver to communicate with the backend.

RESOURCE PLANNING

Include your resource plan for the system along with how it will scale as your user base grows.

DEPLOYMENT

Describe the environment within which the system will run, including and services it will depend on.

IMPLEMENTATION

Include any implementation details you consider necessary to complete this work.

APPENDIX

We covered many topics in this class. Consider whether any of these belong in your design:

  • Privacy
  • Security
  • Reliability
  • Replication
  • Specific cloud providers

Hi Maria! Thank you for sharing your response. Reflecting on the organization in which you are currently employed, what evidence based interventions or changes has the organization undergone? At the time of implementation, did you observe barriers that prevented nurses from participating in the change process? What barriers were present, and what was done to effectively remove these barriers?
Professor Hanson

Collapse
The definition of evidence-based practice is to ‘integrate best research with clinical expertise and patient values for optimum care, and participate in learning and research activities to the extent feasible” (Finkelman, 2019). The use of evidence-based practice is necessary in nursing care in order to provide patient-centered care that is effective and of good quality (Finkelman, 2019).
Warren et al. (2016) identify the main barriers to the implementation of evidence-based practice by nurses as a lack of organizational readiness to implement evidence-based practice, lack of fiscal resources to support evidence-based practice education, and age and work experience with younger, less experienced nurses lacking the confidence to implement evidence-based practice into their nursing practice.
I personally have little experience with evidence-based practice and research and believe that one of the most prominent barriers to implementing evidence-based practice I have seen is lack of knowledge about evidence-based practice and research and lack of experience in the use of evidence-based practice in nursing care. Strategies that can be used to remove these barriers are measures such as taking a course on evidence-based practice, consulting advance practice nurses on the use of evidence-based practice, attending a conference where the use of research in nursing practice is presented, volunteering to serve on committees to set policies and protocols, or by staring a program where experienced nurses can mentor newer, less experienced nurses (Finkelman, 2019).

Nursing leadership paper

Assignment: Application: Taking a Stand

Effective leaders have a high degree of self-awareness and know how to leverage their strengths in the workplace. Assessments are a valuable tool that professionals can use to learn more about themselves and consider how their temperament and preferences influence their interactions with others.

As you engage in this learning process, it is important to remember that everyone—regardless of temperament type or related preferences—experiences some challenges with regard to leadership. The key to success is being able to recognize and leverage your own strengths while honoring differences among your colleagues.

At some point in your leadership career, you will encounter an ethical or moral dilemma that requires you to take a stand and defend your position.

For this Assignment, you evaluate an issue and consider how you could act as a moral agent or advocate, facilitating the resolution of the issue for a positive outcome.

To prepare:

  • Consider the examples of leadership demonstrated in this week’s media presentation and the other Learning Resources.
  • To further your self-knowledge, you are required to complete the Kiersey Temperament as indicated in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider your leadership style, including your strengths for leading others and include your results from Kiersey Temperament Sorter to describe potential challenges related to your leadership style.
  • Mentally survey your work environment, or one with which you are familiar, and identify a timely issue/dilemma that requires you to perform the leadership role of moral agent or advocate to improve a situation (e.g., speaking or acting on behalf of a vulnerable patient, the need for appropriate staffing, a colleague being treated unfairly).
  • What ethical, moral, or legal skills, dispositions, and/or strategies would help you resolve this dilemma? Define the differences between ethical, moral, and legal leadership.
  • Finally, consider the values and principles that guide the nursing profession; the organization’s mission, vision, and values; the leadership and management competencies addressed in this course; and your own values and reasons for entering the profession. What motivation do you see for taking a stand on an important issue even when it is difficult to do so?

To complete:

By Day 7

Write a 4 to 5 page paper (page count does not include title and reference page) that addresses the following:

  • Introduce the conceptual frameworks of the ethical constructs of ethics, moral, or legal standards and the purpose of the paper.
  • Consider  an ethical, moral, or legal dilemma that you have encountered in your work environment and describe it.
  • Analyze the moral, ethical, and legal implications utilized in this situation. Describe your role as a moral agent or advocate for this specific issue.
  • Consider your leadership styles identified by your self-assessment and determine if they act as a barrier or facilitation during this dilemma.

FIN 325 Course Project
Guthrie’s Golden Fried Chicken Fingers Franchise*
Instructions: You will draft a written report of approximately 800 to 1000 words plus tables. The report should explain your analysis, address the prompts, make a recommendation, and justify the recommendation. You may choose to address the case presented below or a real-world case of your own choosing that I approve in advance.
You may work individually or in groups of up to three people. You will decide on group members after the first exam. If you decide to work in a group, however, any disputes between group members must be resolved within the group and you will not have the option of working independently if you commit to working in a group. In general, all group members will earn the same grade on their assignment. However, group members will be asked to evaluate each other and I may use these evaluations to adjust the grades assigned to individual group members.
THE CASE: Guthrie’s restaurant was started in 1965 in Haleyville, Alabama, by Hal Guthrie. The restaurant began serving Chicken Fingers in 1978. In 1982, Hal and his oldest son Chris opened a Guthrie’s in Auburn, Alabama. Originally, Guthrie’s had a large menu including hamburgers, steak sandwiches, and chicken fingers. Soon after opening, however, the menu was limited to the overwhelmingly popular Chicken Finger box. The Box includes chicken fingers, French fires, cole slaw, Texas toast, and Guthrie’s Signature Sauce. During the 1980s, The Guthrie family opened Guthrie’s locations in several college towns throughout the Southeast, including Athens, Georgia, Tallahassee, Florida, and Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Hey also opened them in several towns. By the end of the 1980s, Guthrie’s was a household name throughout much of the Southeast.
Now, more than 50 years since first opening, Guthrie’s continues as a specialty restaurant with a limited menu focusing on Fried Chicken Fingers. It is still a family business, but its franchise business is steadily growing. As a result, people all over the U.S. can now enjoy Guthrie’s Golden Fried Chicken Fingers.
You and your business partners are considering applying for a franchise. If approved, you expect startup costs to be $350,000 in real estate costs, which are not depreciable, plus another $500,000 in equipment that is depreciable. You will be allowed to depreciate the $500,000 in equipment on a five-year MACRS schedule. The $350,000 in real estate costs is not depreciable and should be included in the book value of the fixed assets associated with the franchise when it is sold. Your plan is to start and operate the business for 7 years at which time you expect to sell the business for $1,600,000. You expect to initially have working capital needs of $30,000, but these needs will grow by $5,000 per year. You expect sales in the first year to be $200,000 and that sales will grow by 10% per year. You project annual fixed operating expenses of $50,000 in the first year. These fixed expenses will grow by $3,000 per year. Your annual variable operating expenses are expected to be 50% of sales.
You expect to pay taxes of 21%. Assume your required return is 11%. Should you apply for a Guthrie’s Franchise? Prepare a report responding to the following prompts:
1. Prepare pro forma income statements and operating cash flow projections. Explain your pro forma statements in your report.
2. Estimate the total cash flows for this opportunity. Explain your estimates in your report.
3. Estimate the opportunity’s NPV. Explain how you arrived at your NPV estimates in the report.
4. Consider what happens to cash flows and NPV if Sales are 20% more than expected. What if sales are 20% less than expected? Discuss this analysis in your report.
5. What is your recommendation? Should you and your partners pursue this opportunity? Explain your recommendation and provide your rationale.
 
*Some of this information is drawn from Guthrie’s web page (guthrieschicken.com), but all the financial figures are fictional.
