A law firm has hired you as the forensic accountant to prepare a calculation of economic damages due

A law firm has hired you as the forensic accountant to prepare a calculation of economic damages due to the injury that Jane sustained.

1. Despite Jane Doe’s injury, she expects to continue working until the age of 65. Your objective is to calculate the economic damages that Jane Doe will experience over her work-life expectancy (age 65) due to lost wages and benefits

2. Published statistics illustrate that Jane Doe’s life expectancy, based on her age and education, is 85 years of age.

3. As a result of Jane Doe’s injury, she can no longer perform household services. Legal counsel has asked you to calculate the amount of economic damages needed to replace the loss of household services over Jane Doe’s remaining life expectancy

4. Jane Doe’s trial date is scheduled on the two-year anniversary of her injury. Economic damages calculated from that date forward will need to be discounted to present value

Discussion: research design and t tests: how are they connected?

Whether in a scholarly or practitioner setting, good research and data analysis should have the benefit of peer feedback. For this Discussion, you will perform an article critique on t tests. Be sure and remember that the goal is to obtain constructive feedback to improve the research and its interpretation, so please view this as an opportunity to learn from one another.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review the Learning Resources and the media programs related to t tests.
• Search for and select a quantitative article specific to your discipline and related to t tests. Help with this task may be found in the Course guide and assignment help linked in this week’s Learning Resources. Also, you can use as a guide the Research Design Alignment Table located in this week’s Learning Resources

ASSIGNMENT 

Write a 3- to 5-paragraph critique of the article. In your critique, include responses to the following:

• Which is the research design used by the authors?
• Why did the authors use this t test?
• Do you think it’s the most appropriate choice? Why or why not?
• Did the authors display the data?
• Do the results stand alone? Why or why not?
• Did the authors report effect size? If yes, is this meaningful?

Describe the first three steps you would take to begin the strategic planning process for a human services organization.

SOCW 6070 WK5 Assignment: Leadership and Strategic Planning

In this assignment, you consider how leaders can engage in a strategic planning process with stakeholders to develop a plan to guide the organization’s evolution and development for the long-term. Since strategic planning should engage persons who will be affected by an organization’s decisions (e.g., staff, administration, board members, members of the community), it is important to include key stakeholders in the planning process so that it reflects their perspectives and interests.

For this Assignment, think about how you would begin the strategic planning process for a human services organization. Consider the human services organizations for which you have worked either in your fieldwork or as an employee. Based on what you know about a particular organization, what steps might you take to establish a plan for the organization’s long-term development?

Assignment (2–4 pages in APA format): 

Describe the first three steps you would take to begin the strategic planning process for a human services organization. 

Be sure to include the key stakeholders—who should be involved in each step and why they need to be included in the process. 

In addition, include steps you would take to establish stakeholder support and confidence.

Note: Although you will base your strategic plan on what you know about an actual organization, do not include any identifying information about the organization or its stakeholders.

— Feedback:

As you continue to submit paper assignments in this class there are two basic elements that I need you to add to your paper. The first is the purpose or intent of your paper added to your first paragraph. The second is a conclusion at end of your paper which summarize your major points and the impact that the issue will have on the practice of social work. You simply say in conclusion and then you make your final remarks.

Sochi Olympics—What’s the Cost of National Prestige?

Sochi Olympics—What’s the Cost of National Prestige?

The Sochi Olympics was an example of project costs running out of control; so much so that the final price tag (estimated to be more than $50 billion), dwarfed the costs of every other Olympic Games to this point in time.  In addition to picking a questionable, sub-tropical location for the Games, from the very beginning, the process of developing the site was subject to meddling from politicians, including President Vladimir Putin. Another major cost to the final price tag was related to charges of wide-spread corruption, as sub-projects for the Games (such as infrastructure, buildings, and roads) ended up with highly inflated price tags.   This is a great case for general class discussion as we consider the purpose for Olympic Games, the challenges of cost control with critical deadlines that must be adhered to, and the fact that costs are rising for Games to the point where in 2017, Rome, Budapest, and several other cities withdrew their bids to host the 2024 Olympics because they could not trust the final costs and could not justify the value they would gain versus the costs of the project.

Questions

1. Consider the following statement: “Government-funded projects intended to serve as ‘prestige projects,’ such as the Sochi Olympics, should not be judged on the basis of cost.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Why?
2. Project success is defined as adherence to budget, schedule, functionality (performance), and client satisfaction.  Under these criteria, cite evidence that suggests the Sochi Olympics project was a success and/or failure.
3. When a project has a “hard gate,” like being ready on time, how does that affect normal success criteria?  Is it fair to judge a project with a critical completion date by normal project success standards?  Why or why not?
4. Consider the problems with the Rio Olympics sites that quickly occurred following completion of the 2016 Summer Games.  Access the internet to find evidence of the current state of the Sochi Olympic site.  How is it being used and what are the current problems and opportunities for Sochi?

Does marketing create or satisfy needs?

Marketing has often been defined in terms of satisfying customers’ needs and wants. Critics, however, maintain that marketing goes beyond that and creates needs and wants that did not exist before. They feel marketers encourage consumers to spend more money than they should on goods and services they do not really need.

Take a position: Marketing shapes consumer needs and wants versus Marketing merely reflects the needs and wants of consumers.

What advice can you give Johnny about sports nutrition and his current eating habits?

TASK:

Read the scenario below

Provide five tips to the student to help him get back on track

Read your classmates’ posts and strive to make your tips unique from your classmates’ tips.

Respond to at least two different classmates.

Scenario

Johnny’s largest meal of the day is late in the evening. Twice a week he prepares his own hot dinners at his dorm. The other nights he eats frozen convenience foods, microwave dinners, fast food, or cold sandwiches. His friends have mentioned to him that his eating habits may affect his health, but Johnny has explained that he is an athlete and needs to eat the way he does to have energy to compete at a college level. He has seen no change in his weight over the past few months, either up or down, not even with weight training activities. He has not been to the doctor in a year, but as a student athlete is required to see the doctor once every year, and so he will schedule an appointment in the upcoming weeks in preparation for lacrosse season.

Johnny wants to be the best athlete possible and his friends’ concerns have made him think about his eating habits. He has visited you at the student health center where you are volunteering with the nutrition office as part of your nutrition class. What advice can you give Johnny about sports nutrition and his current eating habits? Please give him at least five tips. Note: Please clearly indicate your tips in your response.
