...such, one could just look at the order of life. Animals act intuitively in feeding and reproduction; the human anatomy contains a heart that pumps blood throughout the body to sustain life. Or, better yet, what about DNA or RNA? DNA and RNA are absolutely vital to the life of a human, and existence without DNA is impossible. However, atheists and those who deny the existence of design and purpose, cannot explain where DNA/RNA came from. The transcription of DNA to RNA is something that scientists admit cannot be numerically computed because of its complexity.[8] Would the existence, functioning, and transcription of DNA to RNA provide a basis for genuine indisputable design and purpose for McCloskey? If not, then what does? This is the problem with stating the need for genuine indisputable examples of design and purpose because who is the judge or standard of what is indisputable? McCloskey may look at the complexities of DNA to RNA and the order of life as natural progression of evolution. In fact, McCloskey implies that evolution displaces the need for a designer. I, however, disagree. One thing that evolution does is offers an explanation contrary to intelligent design regarding the scientific observations of the natural order of life. While evolution provides the scientific explanation of natural order, it does not explain the creation or ultimate beginning of such natural order. Could not a theist come back in reply to McCloskey and state that a necessary being or God...

...July 8, 2012 By: Larry L Graham Understanding the Problem: Usually programmers write computer programs to provide solutions for others. First, the programmer must understand the problem he/she is trying to solve. All aspects of the problem description must be clarified and completely understood at this stage. Planning the Logic: Once the programmer understands the problem, it is time to plan the logic of the program. During this time of the process, the programmer uses tools to layout the program’s logical steps from beginning to end. The programmer decides the variables needed in the program. Also, the programmer uses planning tools like, Flowcharts, and Pseudocode to show the steps involved in his/her programming solution. Coding the Program: Coding is converting the design into an actual program, written in some form of programming language. This is the step where you actually have to sit down at the computer and type. Coding is a little bit like writing an essay. In most cases you write your program using something like a word processor. And, like essays, there are certain things that you always need to include in your program, like titles, contents pages etc.. When you've finished translating your design into a program you need to submit it to the computer to see what it makes of it. Using Software to Translate the Program into Machine Language: The lowest-level programming language (except for computers that utilize programmable microcode)...

...I identified the problems and issues that I’ve been having at my job and wrote about them in my last essay. I’ve taken the time out to think of various ways to solve the situations without causing any extra drama at my job and I must admit that was very difficult to do. After speaking with some people about the problems and issues I’ve been having at my job and I’ve gotten a large amount of feedback from them. I took my time and have weighed out all the options that I may have and took everything into consideration. With my first problem I identified as it being favoritism to an employee in the department I work in, my supervisor allows a male coworker do whatever he wants and comes in whenever he wants. He can have a horrible excuse or no excuse at all and he wouldn’t get reprimanded about anything. With me and my other female workers we need to have proof of where we went most of the time and everything like that. After careful review I was able to work out all the details of the problem. I broke everything down step by step which wasn’t easy. The plan is to take my boss and request to speak in the conference room with him and write a written statement where I and the other coworkers have signed where we are expressing our feeling on the situation with our male co-worker. I hope that my boss will take our feelings into consideration because the next step would be to go to the vice president or owner of the company and have something done immediately. I’m trying to take the...

...Problem definition: Calculate the usable area in square feet of house. Assume that the house has a maximum of four rooms, and that each room is rectangular. A. Problem Analysis – Following the directions in the assignment, clearly write up your problem analysis in this section. In order to determine the usable area of the house I must first find out what is the total square feet area of each of the four rooms. I know that to get the area of each room I have to multiply LengthFeet X WidthFeet and that will give me the area of a 1 Room. Then I must do this to all four rooms, therefore, the results of the total area of the four rooms will give me the usable area of the house. My output variables are: UsableAreaFeet (float variable), AreaOfRoomFeet (float variable). Input variables: Length (float variable) and Width (float variable) and AreaOfRoomFeet (float variable).

...Chapter 7. DELINQUENCY Juvenile among young people, as they negotiate the transition from childhood to adulthood in an increasingly complex and confusing world, is the issue that this chapter first examines. Some basic assumptions relating to delinquent behaviour are presented, followed by a description of the various factors underlying or contributing to this phenomenon. Some regional variations are highlighted. Effective approaches and measures for preventing juvenile delinquency are detailed, with particular attention given to the development of educational, professional development and community programmes, improvements in family relations and parenting skills, and the value of restorative justice for both perpetrators and victims. The chapter concludes with a summary and recommendations for future action. Delinquent and criminal behaviour For many young people today, traditional patterns guiding the relationships and transitions between family, school and work are being challenged. Social relations that ensure a smooth process of socialization are collapsing; lifestyle trajectories are becoming more varied and less predictable. The restructuring of the labour market, the extension of the maturity gap (the period of dependence of young adults on the family) and, arguably, the more limited opportunities to become an independent adult are all changes influencing relationships with family and friends, educational opportunities and choices, labour market participation...

...New problems The Disney management style came in for substantial public criticism as early as the pre-opening stage. The fact that the park was operated as a private company—by the Hong Kong International Theme Parks Ltd.—using public funding from Hong Kong’s coffers furnished further grounds for public dissent. Several incidents occurred within the two months prior to the September opening, attracting criticism from local artists, journalists, and legislators and paving the way for the park’s first public apology. First, a Financial Times journalist criticized Hong Kong Disneyland’s management style, calling Disney’s first theme park in China “the scariest place after North Korea.”1 Then, a month before the official opening, local artist Daniel Wu, who was filming on site at the park, complained to the media of the arrogant and disrespectful attitude of Disney’s U.S. staff and vowed never to return.2 After the theme park opened, some of Hong Kong Disney’s work practices incurred further protests from the Hong Kong people. For example, the park’s character performers complained that they were overworked and underpaid. A spokesperson for the newly formed staff union stated that workdays of more than 12 hours and inadequate rest breaks had overwhelmed many workers, causing work-related injuries, such as joint and muscle strain. In response, Vice-President of Entertainment Lauren Jordan claimed that “there are a few cast members who have found this work to be less rewarding than...

...Daniyal “Berkshire Threaded Fasteneres Company” Q2. The company should not reduce the price of the 100 series to $2.25 because the cost is $2.45. If they reduce it to $2.25 they will go in net loss. Q3. Berkshire most profitable line is 100 series, because the cost is lower than the net selling price. Also is the demand is higher meaning, the company sells more 100 series product than any of their other product lines. Thus compared to other 3 series 100 series is there most profitable product line. Q4. I would advise Mr. Magers to drop their 300 series product and introduce some thing new or some thing that Bosworth has as their most profitable product and try to sell it for lesser price than Bosworth. I would also recommend him to increase the machinery useful life to lower the amortization cost. I would recommend Mr. Magers to try to implement/formulate a LP, in which he should try minimize cost for series 200. The procedures I would recommend hiring cheap labor, minimizing power cost by running the machinery in an efficient manner, try to find a different vendor for their raw materials. I would also recommend to try to find a different vendor for 100 series so they can match prices with Bosworth, because if Bosworth can lower the 100 series price to $2.25, they must be making some kind of profit in order to lower the price and still be successful, which means that Berkshire too hasn’t utilized efficient ways to produce their 100 series product. Maybe formulating...
