...M&M’s Write Up 1. Bag Weight Analysis The bag weight analysis focuses on whether the weight of the bag of M&Ms is consistent with the advertised weight around 50oz. We assumed the series of data containing the classes’ weights to be approximately normal. Since n=48, the large-sample test for population mean was used to determine the plausibility that the advertised weight was true. 2. Color Distribution Analysis The color distribution analysis calculated whether or not the color distribution of the bag of M&Ms accurately depicts the advertised proportions. The number of orange M&Ms in our bag suggested that the proportion was consistent with the advertised proportion of 20%. Since all of the expected values for the distributions were over the standard values, the data suggested that the color distribution was not consistent with the advertised distribution. However, another possibility is that the color distributions truly are not accurate and were ball-parked for curious customers. 3. M&M Variability Analysis Through the use of a histogram and confidence interval of the standard deviation, the variance in the weight of individual M&Ms was analyzed. The sample size was taken from around 50oz bag of M&Ms. Judging from the shape of the histogram, the confidence range, and the analysis of the M&M manufacturing process, it was concluded that individual M&Ms have very little variance from the mean weight. 4. Defects Analysis ...

...Stoning and Muslims The thought of stoning someone is just appalling to me. In the Stoning of Soraya M., Soraya was stoned because she was accused of committing adultery. Although they did not have proof of this actually occurring, she was stoned anyway. This presents a problem for me personally. Although I am not from a place that condones stoning women for committing adultery, I do not think that this is a morally right thing to do. Even if a woman actually did commit adultery, in my opinion she still should not be stoned to death in front of the entire town. I also think that the male children of the town should not be able to participate in this kind of violence especially if it is their mother that is about to be stoned to death. I think that this practice is dehumanizing to the Iranian women in the village and anywhere else that stoning occurs. If they want to punish the women for committing adultery or allegedly committing adultery, maybe they could come up with another form of punishment that does not include the women having to be put to death. I thought that it was very sad to see Soraya have to go through the things that she endured before her death. No woman should to endure a husband being abusive towards them, and then to have to find out that he is cheating on her with a much younger woman. I do not blame her for not wanting to give him a divorce. If that was me, I probably would not give him one either if I was not going to have anything to be able to support...

...increasingly looking to M&A to support their global growth strategies. The primary objectives for M&A’s are to cut costs, broaden market shares or take advantage of each other’s synergies and most typically to accelerate growth. Yet several studies indicate that more than half of all M&A deals fail to meet management’s strategic, operational and financial objectives. The crux of the matter lies in the excessive focus on financial due diligence, risk assessments. Quite often, the people factor, i.e. issues that relate directly to people as workforce management and cultural integration, are left out of the due diligence process creating major challenges later during integration. In the past, HRM was expected to provide support in postintegration efforts, as well as increased business focus and knowledge to ensure that the full value of M&A deals is realized. For organizations, it important to believe in the fact that People are its key assets. However, today we realize that, mastering the softer issues is the hardest part of integration and has the strongest influence on an M&A’s long-term success. HRM professionals are expected to be ready to manage the people, opportunities and the risks associated in these transactions. Managing organizational change and business / culture integration requires more attention by Leadership and HRM to M&A deals. ______________________________________________________________________________ HRM in M&A By Ajit Kumar on May...

...important to me. I hypothesized that becoming an MFT would always keep me interested in my work, allow me to constantly be socializing with people, and try and help as many people as possible. I thought about how I would want to work with all different types of families. However, one main thing that I considered specializing in is, families dealing with addictions. I felt that I am experienced in this topic considering my first hand experience with my own parents and their substance abuse. I have always hoped to have a career where I want to wake up every day looking forward to my work, and to me the way to make that happen, is by becoming a MFT. In assessing my professional and personal strengths, I have found that I have learned skills in the following areas of organization and time management. I have learned oral and written communication providing therapeutic interventions with clients who have addiction problems, documentation, ethics, networking with other social service and treatment professionals when necessary and being an attentive listener. I have learned that one of the best qualities of being a social service professional is having solid listening skills couples with a non-judgmental demeanor. A professional strength I take great pride in is being a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor.

...BUS 330 Prof Williams Yi (Rebecca) Gao Paper Clip Exercise Log Trade #: 1 Item traded for: Photo Frame Estimated value of item traded for: $15 Picture of item traded for: Date of trade: 03/28/2014 Name of person you traded with: Samantha Chen Your relationship with the person: Friend Comments about the trade: Since I knew Samantha from freshman year, I have seen this frame with no picture inside sitting on her shelf with dust for two years. Apparently, she doesn’t want to throw it away, but she is also not using it. So, I thought it might not be hard to trade my paper clip for this frame which became my target point. Another reason I targeted this frame was that I wanted to start big so that I could trade for more valuable items with less number of trades. I didn’t reveal my purpose when I started talking to her; rather, I told her that I liked the frame and got her to talk a lot about it. Through our conversation, I confirmed my assumption that this frame is a thing of little value or interest for her but she just doesn’t want to throw it away. Then I told her my purpose and she agreed to trade with me. One thing that really helped me was information about the frame and how she was thinking.

...The given set of factors requires a discussion of the rules relating to formation of a contract, particularly focusing on offer and acceptance. According to the section 2(h) of Indian Contract Act 1872, “An agreement enforceable by law is a contract.” There should be two items which are objected to make contract are (i) An Agreement and (ii) Legal Obligation. In section 2(e) defines that, “Every promise and every set of promises, forming the consideration for each others, is an agreement.” From that definition it is clearly stated ‘promise’ is an agreement. However in section 2(b) which defines the term “when the person to whom the proposal is made signifies his assent thereto, the proposal is said to be accepted. A proposal, when accepted, becomes a promise”. An agreement is the total combination of “Offer” and “Acceptance”. However in this case Mini gives a promise to pay TK20000 as a reward to whom who finds her each items of lost jewellery. An agreement to become a contract must be able to rise to a legal obligation, a duty enforceable by law. If an agreement is incapable of creating a duty enforceable by law it is not a contract. As all we know that “All contracts are agreement but all agreements are not contracts.” Section 2(h) according to the Indian Contract Act 1872, however provides some essential elements to create legal contracts between two parties. These ares- To make a contract the first and foremost things is that there must be legal offer and legal acceptance...

...Maurits Cornelius Escher was a Dutch artist born in 1898. He attended Haarlem's School for Architectural and Decorative Arts where he took up graphic art. During the early 1920’s, Escher traveled throughout the Mediterranean where he met and later married Jetta Umiker. Over the course of his life, he made 448 lithographs, woodcuts, and wood engravings, as well as over 2,000 drawings and sketches. M.C. Escher died on March 27th, 1972 in the Netherlands. After his death, his work continued to be popular and its mathematical implications were explored. M.C. Escher is best known for his “impossible constructions”, drawings that could not exist in a three-dimensional form. Some examples of his impossible constructions are Relativity, Reptiles, and Ascending and Descending. His work is appreciated by mathematicians because of the immense research, precision, and logic that went into them embrace his works. The “impossible constructions” especially appreciated because of their accuracy and the attention to detail M.C. Escher used while creating them. M.C. Escher used math in his art by researching geometry before creating his art to insure that it was as accurate as possible. By using geometric principals, he was able to create art that looked both accurate and impossible. He used math to create perfect proportions and a sense of reality in his art that would have been impossible to achieve without it. Geometry allowed him to be realistic and creative at the same time and...

...The patient visits are the foundation for most physician’s practices. The E/M codes were designed to classify services provided by physicians in evaluating and managing patient’s medical care. E/M codes are categorized according to location and/or type of service provided for example, office, outpatient, consultation, emergency department. Within these categories, the codes are then subdivided according to new vs established patient. Within these categories, the codes are then listed based on the key components of service provided.

...S.M.A.R.T. Goal In the past eight weeks my professor insisted, as a class, to create a S.M.A.R.T goal. A S.M.A.R.T. goal is a goal that is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely.
