Boeing’s Presidents Letter and Analyst Opinion David L. Calhoun, the President and CEO of Boeing Company, starts his 2019 Annual Letter by insisting that Boeing is committed to its values of prioritizing the interests of customers. He noted that Boeing customers are devastated by the death of people through Boeing 737 Max accidents, and he expresses his sorrow (Boeing 9). Calhoun notes that these two accidents have taught Boeing lessons, and hence, the company will learn from them to come up with a solution of returning much safer Boeing 737 Max to the market. Despite the accidents, the global demand for Boeing models, such as 777, 777X, and 787 models have remained steady (Boeing 9). Besides, the company has debuted two models – 777X and 737 Max 10, which will enter the market in 2021 after tests and checks on their security and safety. Again, the demand for significant defense platforms and programs is strong. In its commercial, space, and defense business lines, Boeing has an opportunity worth $8.7 trillion in the next decade (Boeing 10). All in all, Calhoun’s…
Accommodative Esotropia Synonyms Accommodative component in esotropia Accommodative esotropia component (eye condition) Right accommodative esotropia Left accommodative esotropia Bilateral accommodative esotropia ICD 10 Diagnosis code: H50.43 Definition A misalignment of the eyes or childhood strabismus associated with the accommodation reflex. Epidemiology Accommodative esotropia affects 2% of the world’s population. It is prevalent among patients with average amounts of hyperopia. The condition is attributed to accommodative convergence that is linked to hyperopia. Infants have straight eyes, but as they begin to learn how to see clearly, the divergence is not enough, and the child gets esotropia. Accommodative esotropia usually develops between infancy and late childhood. It is usually common for 2 year old children. This condition accounts for 50% of all childhood related esotropias. It is classified into refractive, non-refractive, and partially decompensated or accommodative. Most cases of esotropia involve moderate hyperopes.

Cognition Cognitive control prioritizes information that reaches conscious awareness while constraining mental operations. It is essential for flexible and adaptive behavior in a condition of uncertainty. There are two modes of thinking proposed by psychologists Richard West and Keith Stanovich (Stanovich & West, 2008). The first system operates quickly and automatically, uses little or zero effect, and is involuntary. The second system gives attention to mental activities that require effort, such as complex computations. The first task that required drawing four straight lines to join four dots in a square matrix required more concentration and strategy to complete the job. I failed the assignment due to the assumption that the dots provided the boundaries of where the lines should start. The ‘Stroop Effect’ test required one to name the colors, not the words. The first test was easy as the terms represented the colors used. The first test used the first system proposed by West and Stanovich in the modes of thinking. The second ‘Stroop Effect’ test, however, took 49 seconds to complete and required more attention as the…
Contract and the Act of God Clause Sixty days after the contract is signed, the vendor’s plant is flattened by a tornado. What are your options? In this situation, I have three options. First, I can delay fulfilling the obligation of the contract. Second, I can fail to fulfill the obligation of the contract (US Legal, n.d.). Third, I can fulfill the obligation of the contract. All these three options are legal excuses in contracts that have been affected by the Acts of God. Can you cancel the contract? Yes, I cancel a contract once a tornado flattens the vendor’s plant. However, I can only cancel if the other party; that is, the vendor has been rendered unable to fulfill his/ her obligations to the contract (Kelleher, 2005). In my case and as a purchasing agent of the company, I can cancel the agreement between the company and the vendor if the tornado has rendered the latter (vendor) unable to deliver the remaining widgets in the subsequent months. What clause do you need to protect your options in this case?…

Stoic Prасtісеѕ Thаt Wіll Hеlр Yоu Thrіvе In Thе Mаdnеѕѕ Of Mоdеrnіtу Hе wаntеd nоthіng good tо hарреn whеn Zeno of Cурruѕ wаѕ shipwrecked аnd trapped іn Athеnѕ. With not much else to do and all lost, Zeno walked into a bookshop and was absorbed quickly in Socrates ‘ lessons. He wanted to express his information to anyone who would like to learn after he had been studious with the great philosophers of his day. So was born Stoicism’s philosophy. The teachings of Zeno would spread rapidly and be adopted both by slaves and rulers. But thе story оf Stoicism dоеѕn’t еnd thеrе. Centuries later, in modern society philosophy is still, if not more relevant. Such stoic activities help to calm our today’s turmoil. Create an inner locus of control “Mankind is not troubled by events but by opinions on them.” — Epictetus A lot of the things that happen in life are not under our influenceThe Stoics understood and reflected on what they could do. A slave born, Epictetus seems to have no reason to believe he can do…

Is it ethical to use animals in scientific research? INTRODUCTION Each year animals suffer as scientists exploit them in biological experiments concerning medical value for human health values. Animals are used in the development of vaccines and pharmaceuticals as demanded in clinical ethics. Besides, animals are exploited in ultimate biomedical research. The biomedical research business is overwhelmingly growing in size even though the accumulated profits and financial gains are minimal. Animal experiments have led to advanced knowledge of human and animal health and diseases. Discovery of the medicinal value of insulin, antibiotics, organ transplant, and vaccines have been made through researching animal specimens. Experimenting animals in laboratories and research centers have restored hope to many suffering cancer, heart failure, and other diseases. Alternative research methods fail to stimulate humans and the whole body the same way animal research extracts do and, therefore, not reliable. Diseases such as cystic fibrosis and asthma involve complex physiological processes that are only possible through research on a living animal. It is very ethical and legal to test the medicinal value of a particular drug…
