Purpose
This assignment allows students to provide practical business strategies.

Assignment Instructions
Review the Week 4 Case Study. 
Summarize the following in 2 to 3 pages:

• Discuss issues raised concerning Sanders’ approach in connection with the sale to Brown and Massey.
• Include some of the other options that Sanders may have considered other than the $2,000,000 cash price.
• Explain the reasons for regulatory control over financial markets.
• Let’s assume Colonel Sanders obtained a six-month loan of $150,000 Canadian dollars from an American bank to finance the acquisition of a building for another Canadian franchise in Quebec province. The loan will be repaid in Canadian dollars. At the time of the loan, the spot exchange rate was U.S. $0.8995/Canadian dollar and the Canadian currency was selling at a discount in the forward market. The contract after six months (face value = C$150,000 per contract) was quoted at U.S. $0.8930/Canadian dollar.
• Explain how the American bank could lose on this transaction assuming no hedging.
• Assume the bank does hedge with the forward contract, what is the maximum amount it can lose?
• Format your paper to current APA standards.
  Submit the assignment.

Answer the following study questions in a 600-word-minimum essay, quoting the documentary film, YOUR TEXT BOOK, and your three primary sources from above at least once each in the essay to help support your conclusions. Make sure you provide parenthetical citations of your sources after all quoted materials. Do not answer in bullet points or in a numbered list. I want this composed as an essay. At the end of your essay you must post a study question of your own for your fellow students to consider and answer in their response posts.

1. Give FULL identification of the documentary film and the primary documents : When were they written and/or produced? by whom? where? why? who were the intended audiences? (Review the powerpoint on Vetting Your Sources)

2. What were the various reasons portrayed in the film as to why Americans favored America’s  entrance into the Imperial Age? Who opposed America’s foray into Imperialism and why?

3. What role did world events, i.e., actions and/or inactions of the Empires of Europe, have on America’s entrance into war with Spain? How was America’s involvement in Cuba both similar and different than our involvement in the Philippines?

4. What have you learned about the Spanish American War and the Philippine “Insurgency” that you did not know before? How might American history have been different had the events of the Philippine American War been recognized and studied rather than hidden, denied and revised? Explain your answer.

Question:1 

Auditing is the process of validating that an environment complies with its design. For what reason(s) is auditing an important process for a Windows environment or any environment? Research some auditing baselines that would apply to a Windows environment. What is the primary determination that a security professional would look at to determine if an OS environment is reaching the baseline (think about the entire process)? If the environment is not reaching the baseline, what would you suggest to management? If the environment is reaching the baseline, would you suggest further action or are would you be satisfied with the current results?

Requirements:

Provide a minimum of 3 references 

Proper APA Format (References & Citations)/No plagiarism

Type up the following problem:

You are given a segment of DNA to transcribe and translate:

  ATGCGATGCCATTGA- complementary

  TACGCTACGGTAACT –  template (coding) strand

Transcribe the DNA – What would be the mRNA?

Translate the RNA – What would be the amino acid chain? Think about the mRNA strand as individual codons – use Inforgraphic 8.10 in your book figure out what amino acid the codons code for. 

Urinary Obstruction

Case Studies

The 57-year-old patient noted urinary hesitancy and a decrease in the force of his urinary stream for several months. Both had progressively become worse. His physical examination was essentially negative except for an enlarged prostate, which was bulky and soft.

Studies

Results

Routine laboratory studies

Within normal limits (WNL)

Intravenous pyelogram (IVP)

Mild indentation of the interior aspect of the bladder, indicating an enlarged prostate

Uroflowmetry with total voided flow of 225 mL

8 mL/sec (normal: >12 mL/sec)

Cystometry

Resting bladder pressure: 35 cm H2O (normal: <40 cm H2O)

Peak bladder pressure: 50 cm H2O (normal: 40-90 cm H2O)

Electromyography of the pelvic sphincter muscle

Normal resting bladder with a positive tonus limb

Cystoscopy

Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH)

Prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP)

0.5 units/L (normal: 0.11-0.60 units/L)

Prostate specific antigen (PSA)

1.0 ng/mL (normal: <4 ng/mL)

Prostate ultrasound

Diffusely enlarged prostate; no localized tumor

Diagnostic Analysis

Because of the patient’s symptoms, bladder outlet obstruction was highly suspected. Physical examination indicated an enlarged prostate. IVP studies corroborated that finding. The reduced urine flow rate indicated an obstruction distal to the urinary bladder. Because the patient was found to have a normal total voided volume, one could not say that the reduced flow rate was the result of an inadequately distended bladder. Rather, the bladder was appropriately distended, yet the flow rate was decreased. This indicated outlet obstruction. The cystogram indicated that the bladder was capable of mounting an effective pressure and was not an atonic bladder compatible with neurologic disease. The tonus limb again indicated the bladder was able to contract. The peak bladder pressure of 50 cm H2O was normal, again indicating appropriate muscular function of the bladder. Based on these studies, the patient was diagnosed with a urinary outlet obstruction. The PAP and PSA indicated benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). The ultrasound supported that diagnosis. Cystoscopy documented that finding, and the patient was appropriately treated by transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). This patient did well postoperatively and had no major problems.

Critical Thinking Questions

1. Does BPH predispose this patient to cancer?

2. Why are patients with BPH at increased risk for urinary tract infections?

3. What would you expect the patient’s PSA level to be after surgery?

4. What is the recommended screening guidelines and treatment for BPH?

5. What are some alternative treatments / natural homeopathic options for treatment?
