...To: Steve Howe From: Cristina Aravena Date: September 21, 2015 Re: Mark Down Client Mark Down came to the law firm of Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe. We did a will for him stating that all his assets go to the children since his wife previously past. He executed a power of attorney to his son, Slowe, giving him the power to handle all of his assets. Mark Down health started deteriorating and Slowe is worried that Mark may need Medicaid. Slow wants to remove Mark’s assets of $300,000 brokerage account and give them to his children. Since Slowe said Mark is losing competency and doesn’t want to deal with any financial matters anymore, Slowe is asking if he can transfer the money. Right now that would put Mark at a 5 year period of ineligibility for long term Medicaid care. According to New York law, there are limitations to how much a power of attorney can gift a year. In the Matter of Ferrara 7 N.Y. 3d 244 (2006), decedent George J. Ferrara, executed a will stating that his entire assets will go to the Salvation Army. When the decent became hospitalized in Florida, his nephew Dominick Ferrara came and visited then decedent, then told Dominick to obtain powers of attorney so that [he] could attend to [decedents] affairs. (id. 248) “Florida powers of attorney apparently authorized Dominick and john Ferrara to write checks on decedent’s bank accounts and liquidate certificates of deposit”. On January 25, 2000, decedent signed multiple originals of a “Durable General...

...Kristen’s Cookie Co. – Katherine Fanola Individual Assignment Question 1: Draw a Flow Diagram Question 2: How long will it take to fulfill a rush order? The answer is 26 minutes. First, the customer will order which will not take any time. Then, Kristen begins by washing and mixing which will have a cycle time of 6 minutes. Next, spooning will take Kristen 2 minutes, leaving a finish time at 8 minutes (6 min+2min). Then Kristen’s roommate will heat the oven which will take 1 minute leaving a finish time of 9 minutes (8 min+1 min). The cookies will bake for 9 minutes leaving a finish time of 18 minutes (9 min+9 min).

Last step is for customer to pay and for the money to be collecting taking a total of 3 more minutes and leaving a finish time of 26 minutes (23 min + 3 min). Therefore, total time to fulfill a rush order is 26 minutes. Question 3: How many orders can you fulfill in a night, assuming you are open for 4 hours each night? The answer is 22 dozen cookies. Operating for 4 hours in a night is equivalent to operating for 240 minutes. If each order size is one dozen cookies, then order completion time for 1 batch will be 26 minutes.

...accurate and reliable. This guide is to help assess reputable websites. Surfing the WEB There is a lot of information available on the World Wide Web today. Deciphering what is accurate and creditable requires a closer look. When accessing information, these steps should be followed. First, locate the authors name, look for any credentials, locate the contact information, and what authority does the author have on this topic. Second, take note on who published the site, what links are connected to it and at the bottom of the web page look for the date of publication. Examine the domain or URL. Dot gov means a US government site, .mil means a US military site, and .edu means an accredited post secondary educational institution. Dot com means a commercial for profit site, .org means a noncommercial, not for profit entity, .net means a computer network, and .int means an international organization. Lastly, determine the sites purpose. Is it trying to sell something, persuade you, or just providing you with information. Investigating the areas will aid in evaluating websites. The author may have a PhD or be a professor but that does not make him and expert on topics not related to the field of practice or study. Taking not on the publishers helps determine the motive and correlation to the author. Looking at the date of publication helps determine how recent the information is and when last updated.

...Individual Analyzing Internet Sources Week 2 What did you learn? I learned more than I expected from the Pearson student lab activities. In the first activity I knew most of the information presented, but in the second activity I learned quite a bit about researching a topic. I did not know that the URL .org is no longer limited to a non-profit or research organization; which makes it harder to use that as a reliable resource but it can still be useful. I learned it is important to look for non-bias opinions, information with publish dates are resourceful, research based, and the best domains to find good information on are .org, .gov, .mil, and .edu. Although just because the site has one of these domains it does not mean the resource is accurate or correct necessarily. What did you not learn? Well as I said in the previous paragraph in the first activity most of the information that was present I acquired before. The comparison between the library and the internet are basic knowledge to most people. The Library is based for research purposes, with trained staff to help you, but closes at certain times. The internet has multiple reasons for use, with no trained assistance, but it never closes. They each have great traits that can be used for study. I also knew it is not safe to purchase items online you must be careful when doing this. You need to do research and make sure the site is reliable. Some people think because a paper has a title and author that it is true but...

...if I should sit Alfred Zingale and Matthias Arndt next to each other. It wasn’t that I was worried about conflicting views, actually it was quiet the contrary, and I didn’t want them to be able to double team the other guests. Finally I decided that just because they have essentially the same opinions, I wouldn’t separate them. In my mind they come as a unit because they had co-authored a book. The place cards had been set and I made up my mind that I would do no more rearranging. I bent over the table in my grey sleeveless dress and lit the deep red candles that were extending upward out of the floral arrangement. The guests would be arriving soon and I began to think over the whole situation. Each person has written a book about the dot com industry, how they can be successful as well as how to invest wisely in one. I was hoping to learn a lot of information so I could make a good decision on whether my company would benefit from being online. These thoughts drifted through my head until the doorbell rang. I opened the door to a short plump woman with reddish brown hair in her late 40’s was standing on my stoop. She wore a pale green dress suit, but looked quite attractive. She extended her arm, shook my hand and introduced herself as Anita Rosen. As the only woman who was attending the dinner party that night, it was a given who she was, but all the same she was quite pleasant. John Cassidy was next to arrive. He looked like the typical “guy next door” type. I bet he...

...The dot-com bubble that occured in the 1990's through the early 2000's was said to have left some major negative impressions on the world of the internet and our economy, but that is not necessarily true. Because of the dot-com bubble, there have been many great outcomes that often goes unnoticed before looking past all of the businesses and internet companies that went under when this bubble finally burst in the early 2000's. In fact, many say that the dot-com bubble and burst was actually a needed cause and effect that has shaped the internet into what it now is today. Many people believe that a lot of the websites that existed during the dot-com bubble would have had some sort of success if it wasn't for the network infrastructure at the time. The thing is, not many people didn't have access to broadband and the websites weren't getting the exposure and full potential that it could have received. This is especially true for some websites, such as Broadcast.com (Altucher Confidential, 2011). This very same thought occurred during the dot-com bubble and computer scientists and engineers realized that there was a very much needed improvement to the infrastructure of the internet. In order to correct this, many businesses in the tech industry began using tax money to lay high-speed fiber optic cables so that the internet would be more accessible in certain cities and states. This is probably one of the most beneficial things that came about from the dot-com bubble because...
