A company has two warehouses to sell, one in the town of King stones and another in the nearby suburb of Eadleton. Because there have been some indications
that property prices are likely to rise over the next six months some of the managers of the company are urging that the sale should be delayed. It is
thought that the probability of the Kingstones warehouse rising in value by at least 10% is 0.6. If it does rise in value by this amount then there is a
0.9 probability that the Eadleton property will also rise in value by at least 10%. However, if the Kingstones property rises in value by less than 10%
there is only a 0.3 probability that the Eadleton warehouse will increase its value by at least 10%. What is the probability that

(a) both warehouses;

(b) only one warehouse will increase in value by at least 10% over the six-month period?

Hutton, Roots and Meanings of Orozco’s Zapata.

I need 1 page for this essay all you have to do I wrote on a Microsoft Word and it is on the attachment please read very carefully all is there very clear. Thanks.

Document Preview:

You have to read “Hutton, Roots and Meanings of Orozco’s Zapata.” I attached this file with the name, if I am to die. Orozco’s Zapata.
This assignment requires you to read the article by Hutton on Zapata. Before you do the reading, take a look at Rivera’s “Zapata” and Orozco’s “Zapata”. Read only from page 41 starting with “In the Mexican Revolution…” And end with, “…come to grips with his Zapata” (42). In Mexican history, Zapata is the hero of the peasants. This is your task. First, look at the two Zapata murals and reflect on them: how can you describe them? Is this how you imagined Zapata in our readings? Then answer the following question. In his article, Hutton states: “It is this ambiguity to which most American critics objected, lamenting the absence of a ‘key’ by which to interpret the work” (42). In your opinion, what is the “key” that can help in the understanding of Orozco’s mural “Zapata Entering a Peasant’s Hut”?

Met909 Plays a Key Role in the Activation of the Progesterone Receptor and Also in the High Potency of 13-Ethyl Progestins Isabelle Petit-Topin, Nathalie Turque, Je´ roˆ me Fagart, Michel Fay, Andre´ Ulmann, Erin Gainer, and Marie-Edith Rafestin-Oblin Institut National de la Sante´ et de la Recherche Me´ dicale U773, Centre de Recherche Biome´ dicale Bichat Beaujon, CRB3, Paris, France (I.P.-T., N.T., J.F., M.F., M.-E.R.-O.); and Laboratoire HRA Pharma, Paris, France (I.P.-T., E.G., A.U.) Received December 18, 2008; accepted March 16, 2009 ABSTRACT Many progestins have been developed for use in contraception, menopausal hormone therapy, and treatment of gynecological diseases. They are derived from either progesterone or testosterone, and they act by binding to the progesterone receptor (PR), a hormone-inducible transcription factor belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily. Unlike mineralocorticoid, glucocorticoid, and androgen receptors, the steroid-receptor contacts that trigger the switch of the ligand-binding domain from an inactive to an active conformation have not yet been identified for the PR. With this aim, we solved the crystal structure of the ligand-binding domain of the human PR complexed with levonorgestrel, a potent testosterone-derived progestin characterized by a 13-ethyl substituent. Via mutagenesis analysis and functional studies, we identified Met909 of the helix 12 as the key residue for PR activation by both testosterone-and progesterone-derived progestins with a 13-methyl or a 13-ethyl substituent. We also showed that Asn719 contributes to PR activation by testosterone-derived progestins only, and that Met759 and Met909 are responsible for the high potency of 19-norprogestins and of 13-ethyl progestins, respectively. Our findings provide a structural guideline for the rational synthesis of potent PR agonist and antagonist ligands that could have therapeutic uses in women’s health. The physiological effects of progesterone are mediated by…

The financial statements of Rolls-Royce plc (aero engine manufacturer) for the year ended 31…

The financial statements of Rolls-Royce plc (aero engine manufacturer) for the year ended 31 December 1999 disclose the following matters in relation to
the directors:

(a) Remuneration committee The remuneration committee, which operates within agreed terms of reference, has responsibility for making recommendations to
the board on the Group”s general policy towards executive remuneration. The committee also determines, on the board”s behalf, the specific remuneration
packages of the executive directors and a number of senior executives.

The membership of the committee consists exclusively of independent non-executive directors (the financial statements disclose the names of these
directors). The committee meets regularly and has access to professional advice from inside and outside the Company. The Chairman of the Company (a par
t-time executive director) and the Chief Executive (an executive director) generally attend meetings but are not present during any discussion of their own
emoluments.

(b) Base salary The committee believes that in order to attract and retain executive directors of the right caliber and to provide them with adequate
incentives to deliver the Group”s objectives, the Group should pursue a policy of offering median-level base salaries for its executive directors, and
through the per formance-related schemes, the oppor tunity of upper quar tile ear nings for upper quar tile performance.

(c) Annual performance award scheme The scheme enables a maximum performance award of up to 60% of salar y to be paid to executive directors for
exceptional per formance against pre-determined targets based upon return on capital employed with a tapered and reducing scale of maximum percentages for
senior employees. The targets are set by the committee based upon the Group”s annual operating plans. Such payments do not form part of pensionable ear
nings. One-third of total awards made are paid in Rolls-Royce shares which are held in trust for two years, with release normally being conditional on the
individual remaining in the Group”s employment until the end of the period. The required shares are purchased on the open market. This arrangement provides
a strong link between performance and remuneration and provides a culture of share ownership amongst the Group”s senior management.

Comment on the notes to the financial statements included above.

Building the physician organization (case study)

Building the Physician Organization (a large, established medical group)
After some years experience with an integrated health system, you apply for a post as executive director of a new moderate-sized physician organization attached to one of the system’s hospitals. You will be interviewed by a panel of the governing board, including several physicians representing primary and referral specialties. About a week before the interview, the spokesperson for the search committee tells you:
We want to build a group that attracts the best doctors and makes quality a habit. We want a say in our destiny. And we want to make competitive incomes, and take paying patients from all forms of insurance. We’ve gotten everybody signed up, both legally and emotionally, on those ideas.
We think we have good doctors, and we have good malpractice records, thank heaven. But we haven’t really gotten into some important questions we know we’ll have to address, such as how big we should be, how we should control our referral specialist numbers, and what specialties we ought to include.
We copied the hospital’s credentialing system verbatim, and we’re not sure that’s all we need because it doesn’t do much for outpatient care. Some doctors think we should have specialty departments like the hospital, others want geographic directors or leaders, and frankly a lot would like total autonomy.
Now we are in the pay-for-performance era. The system is giving us HEDIS reports, a bunch of patient satisfaction data, and some process measures like scheduling delays. We’re doing okay on these, but the system says they want benchmark performance on a bunch of them within three years. They also give us cost reports that show we are a little over the system average for many common problems. They want overall costs down 15 percent in two years. Some of our doctors think these goals are impossible, but the system shows us data from other cities and competitive information where the goals have…

I have attached the paper I submitted. The professor told me I needed the following:1.The Key issue section requires additional information in the areas of finance and the realtionship with the University of Miami school of medicine. Additionally you must discuss in detail the recent bond issue passed in Miami which provided huge amounts of money for JMH. Please discuss the Miami Dade County Board of Commisioners and their role in the control of JMH. Additionally your SWOT analysis requires additional development
2.your O and T section of your SWOT also required much further development. The Strategy Formulation section speaks to the ways in which the organization will meet its goals and this section was underdeveloped
The week 3 document is one that I purchased here with the same requirements listed minus the professors additional comments of what I needed.
