How do the self-portraits by these two different artists convey that sense of being “caught between two worlds?” Use specific details in both artworks to illustrate your points.
Do you ever feel like you’re “caught between two worlds,” in some ways? Explain.

This week we saw some examples of geoglyphs in South America, such as the Nazca lines in modern-day Peru. For this week’s discussion board, please find and post an image of a geoglyph that you think is especially interesting.
Post an image of a geoglyph (either from the readings, powerpoint, etc.)
Where is the geoglyph you chose located, and what type of image is represented?
If you were to create a geoglyph here in Illinois, what kind of shape or form would you create to represent your society and culture today (and why)?
Your post should be roughly 200 words in length. I attached the powerpoint.

We have been discussing the issue of cultural patrimony (https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/special-topics-art-history/arches-at-risk-cultural-heritage-education-series/trafficking-protection/a/elgin-marbles-debate) as it relates to the African artworks that were stolen/looted during European colonialist expeditions. But how has this played out in regards to Mesoamerican art? In 2020, for example, the Mexican government requested that the Vatican Library temporarily return several Pre-Columbian illuminated manuscripts to mark the painful 500th anniversary of Spain’s conquest of the Aztec Empire — what’s more, they asked for an apology from the Catholic Church “that never again will disrespectful acts be committed against their beliefs and cultures.? read https://hyperallergic.com/598115/mexico-asks-vatican-for-temporary-return-of-ancient-indigenous-manuscripts/, then answer the questions below:
Do you think this could “set a precedent” for other artifacts to be returned to their country of origin, or for similar kinds of attempts for reconciliation? Should it set a precedent, in your opinion?
What kinds of considerations do you think should be taken into consideration when it comes to deciding whether to return artifacts to their country of origin? You may bring up relevant examples from the discussion of African art last week.
Your response should be 300-400 words in length.
Do NOT conduct outside research, do not copy/paste text from an online source, do not use A.I. to generate a response…your answer should come from your own observations and/or the assigned readings/videos, the powerpoint, etc. Cases of suspected plagiarism will be addressed by the instructor.
People have seen consistent rates of inflation over the past several decades in healthcare. This inflation has been driven by increases in costs for health insurance, technology utilization, and demand for qualified providers and facilities. Consider the many areas in which the U.S. healthcare system has seen steady rises in costs. Imagine you are a financial manager for an organization that has seen significant cost increases in the past few years or decades in an area related to your organization (e.g., supplies, technology, outside services). Prepare an outline for a proposal on how to help reduce or minimize these costs.Use your text as a resource for this assignment plus one other resource from the library.

What is AT&T’s trend for the times interest earned ratio for the past two years? What is Verizon?s trend for the times interest earned ratio for the past two years?
In Module 7, we learned about the importance of current liabilities, which are amounts which a Company owes to another Company. Current liabilities mean the liability must be paid with the next year or within the next operating cycle; long-term liabilities mean the liability is due to be paid sometime after the nextyear or operating cycle. We also learned during Module 7 about the times interest earned ratio,which measures whether a Company can/is generate (generating) enough profits to pay the interest expense required to be paid on its short-term and long-term debt as they become due.
In the Module 8 discussion, you will first calculate the times interest earned for two telecommunication companies in the United States, and then analyze and compare the results.
Obtain the latest two AT&T and Verizon Annual Reports online, like you have been doing for other companies in some of the previous Module discussions. Please make sure the Annual Report you obtain includes the latest two fiscal years.
Calculate the times interest earned ratios for the latest two fiscal years ending. Show the bases of your calculations at the start of your response for both companies. Answer the following questions as part of your initial response:
What is AT&T’s trend for the times interest earned ratio for the past two years?
What is Verizon?s trend for the times interest earned ratio for the past two years?
Comparing the trends in the times interest earned ratios for AT&T and Verizon to each other over the past two years, what do the trends tell us? Are there any specific reason(s) the ratios are different? (Hint: check their respective Annual Reports, the Management Discussion and Analysis Section, especially, for potential explanations)
Example to Include at the start of your initial response:
AT&T:
Times Interest Earned: Fiscal Year Ended XXXX and Fiscal Year Ended XXXX.
Verizon:
Times Interest Earned: Fiscal Year Ended XXXX and Fiscal Year Ended XXXX.
Reminder: The times interest earned ratio is computed as operating income divided by interest expense. You should remember from Module 7 on which of the basic financial statements you can find both of these amounts.
