...The question asks, who is Sally Hemings? The writer answers after reading a plethora of books and articles, historical and controversial, in the following discourse. Sally, “Sarah” Hemings was the slave and mistress to Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States of America. She was the mother of Thomas Jefferson’s six children he fathered with her. Sally Hemings was the young, teen-age girl taken by Thomas Jefferson to be one of the many women that he loved.

...Sally Case One significant flaw in how overhead costs is allocated by Sally under in the ABC systems is, her application of the 150% for both the internal control and information systems departments. The flaw here is that Sally is kind of using both the ABC and the standard cost system at the same time in determining the charge out rate for the two departments. This will inflate the charge out rate for the internal control consulting, with the information system consulting been reduced, considering the activities performed in the information systems consulting which includes software development, installation, conversion assistance, and training. Yes The key here is that we would be basing the cost driver rate by actual capacity, not practical capacity so cost issues could still be hidden and there is not incentive to be more efficient. For example, it may turn out they have similar subscriptions or four people have the same subscription and they don’t know. 1/4 D Since Sally’s company is a service company, activity based costing is ideally suited for her organization. This is because virtually all the cost of her firm is indirect and appears to be fixed. The large component of apparently fixed costs in her firm arises because, unlike manufacturing companies, service companies have virtually no material costs—the prime source of short-term variable costs. Three ways in which ABC leads to accurate product cost for Sally are outlined below. Firstly, ABC provides more appropriate...

...Sally’s Compensation It’s the season for snow-melting, it’s the season for career interviews, and it’s also the season, hopefully, for lower unemployment rate. Sally Jameson, an MBA student graduated from the ivory tower HBS, is one of the lucky graduates and got a job from Telstar. Additionally, the generous employer offers her a special compensation package – she could choose either cash of $5,000 or 3,000 special options that allow her to buy as many as 3000 shares of Telstar’s stocks for $35.00 at her 5th anniversary employment. Today is May 27, 1992, we have a list of quotations of Short- and Long-term Call Options of Telstar stocks, a list of historical price and volatility of Telstar Common Stock since Jan, 82, and a list of T-bill security yields. Now we are here to help her make a choice. I. B-S Model for option pricing Today is the final day for Sally to make a choice, we relies on the famous Black-Scholes Model to price the options in the compensation. Before pricing, we need to know the volatility and the continuous compounded interest rate. For interest rate, we regard the 5 years T-bill bond yields as the “risk-free” rate and assume Sally and other investors of Telstar are risk-neutral. 1+5*BEY5yr=exp5r, where BEY5yr is the annualized Treasury Bill’s bond equivalent yield and r is the continuous compounded interest rate we want to derive, which is 5.2627%. Secondly, since historical volatility could not perfectly reflect the scenarios in the future...

...A Second Chance at Life Sally Satel’s argument in “Death’s Waiting List”, states that there is an extreme lack of organ donors in this society. “70,000 Americans are waiting for kidneys, according to The United Network for Organ Sharing” and “only about 16,000 people received one last year. “ In large cities, where the ratio of acceptable organs to needy patients is worst, the wait is five to eight years and is expected to double by 2014 “. There is no reason why the wait should be this long because any one can be an organ donor and Satel does a great job of explaining the benefits throughout in her essay. As a previous member of the waiting list, Satel resorted to desperate measures when she considered going to the black market to obtain a kidney that she needed as well as trying a website called matchingdonors.com. She was lucky enough to find a match on the website, but unfortunately he fell through. As far as the black market goes, she thought it was too risky and unsafe even though she was in a life or death situation. This all could have been prevented if more people in our country were to consider themselves organ donors. If the black market isn’t safe for buying movies or getting music illegally, then it is definitely not safe for buying a kidney. This small statement in Satel’s essay provides a shocking emotional appeal to the readers. She brought up a great point that in most European countries, they practice “presumed consent” which is when “all citizens are...

I worked as a nursing assistant and unit clerk in ICU and PCU in the past. So, I can’t really base this paper on my own personal experience. I can however base it on different case studies that I have found in our text and online. I know that when I was working in the healthcare field, there were several times when I found myself holding my tongue or being extremely careful how I answered questions from patient’s families and patients. You can never be too careful. I know that we were constantly receiving training, workshops and memos in order to keep us from making mistakes. Ever type of job in the healthcare field is open to a situation that could lead to be being held liable for negligence. Of course there are ways to prevent it and ways to avoid those situations. Employers that are in the healthcare field that employ people to perform these jobs. They constantly learning and updating from situations and training their employees on how to handle these situations. Employers spend a lot of time and money trying to avoid cases where they could be liable. Let’s face it, we are human and to err is human. So in every job, at every turn there could be a situation where the employee or the employer is held liable. Training, refresher courses are necessary in order to keep employees up to date on how to handle each and every situation that may occur. I...

...Jefferson’s relationships do not lessen his achievements as a leader and politician, nor do they change the fact that he left a tremendous impact on the world. Being much older than Sally Hemings, Jefferson felt as though he had complete control over her, which was furthered by the fact that she was a slave. However, their relationship was complicated because Sally did not seem to mind that Jefferson was much older. She persuaded him to free her children at age 21, and often made decisions about their relationship. Perhaps this stems from the age gap from her perspective, in which she knew she could sway Jefferson’s mind because she was young and he adored her. Meacham’s thorough depiction of Jefferson’s life gives a much more well-rounded explanation of him as both a public servant and human being, contrary to historical records, which strive to preserve a pristine persona. Historical bias, although in some cases necessary for teaching purposes, does not improve...

...Thomas Jefferson was the main author of the Declaration of Independence. He was additionally the third president, therefore, he had a huge influence on America. Jefferson was a governor in Virginia. He believed in independence, but even so, was additionally a slave-owner. [3] Nicholas Wade (1999) gave a frolicsome fact that “Most people at the meeting agreed that DNA data reported last November, along with the available historical evidence, now makes it between probable and almost certain that Jefferson had a hidden family with Sally Hemings, one of his slaves. The DNA data showed that at least one Hemings descendant bore the same Y chromosome as that of the Jefferson family.” After he retired, Jefferson hit the road to his Virginia plant, Monticello, where he later founded the University of Virginia. He is a very special character, but one of his most special works was the Declaration of Independence....

...Decision Tree Gerber Product Company A. Background of the Company: Gerber was founded in 1927 in Fremont, Michigan by Daniel Frank Gerber, owner of the Fremont Canning Company, which produced canned fruit and vegetables. At the suggestion of a pediatrician, Gerber's wife Dorothy Gerber began making hand-strained food for their seven-month-old daughter, Sally. Recognising a business opportunity, Gerber began making baby food. By 1928 he had developed five products for the market and six months later, Gerber's baby foods were distributed nationwide. The brand eventually became a major company in the baby food industry, offering more than 190 products in 80 countries, with labeling in 16 languages and controls eighty-three percent (83%) of the baby food market in the United States. In 1994 Gerber merged with Sandoz Laboratories. Two years later, Sandoz merged with CIBA-Geigy to form Novartis, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. In 2007 Gerber was sold to Nestle for $5.5 billion. In 1960 Gerber started selling its baby food in glass jars, which often found new life as household storage, especially in home workshops. Soon after, other items such as pacifiers, , baby bottles, and small baby toys were introduced. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerber_Products_Company B.

...Kyle Moore Interpersonal Communication 4/24/13 When Harry Met Sally After viewing this film I knew there were multiple different aspects within the dialog. The interaction between these two over many years made it possible for them to go from complete strangers to falling in love. It didn’t happen overnight and there many different actions that lead them to realize that they were destined for each other. One of the most interesting aspects I found deals with the social penetration model. When they first meet to take the road trip they only knew each other through mutual friends so needless to say it was a little awkward at first but throughout the story they begin to come closer and closer together. Even though it took a while for Sally to open up she eventually showed a more open and emotional side to Harry which led them to sleep together for the first time. Before that happened most of the conversations were just small talk and Harry asking Sally about her sex life. I thought Harry to be physically attracted to her from the begging but as he states, “Girls and guys can’t be friends.” His theory has to do with physical attraction and the fact that all men will want to be sexually active or at least have it in the back of their mind if they are close acquaintances with an attractive female. From the beginning Sally’s self-monitoring was very high and she didn’t really tell Harry anything to personal. She was defensive and had a very straight forward personality. As the...
