Estimates in our everyday life

In this class we learned to make estimates to appreciate the rough sizes of things such as the number of stars in the galaxy. But you can make estimates in every day life….Many people are afraid of terrorists. (a) Estimate the number of people killed in America by terrorists during the last 10 years. Estimate, NOT a precise number. Look up on the www. Like a good scientist, give references. (b) Estimate the number of Americans killed by lightening in 10 years. Which is bigger, (a) or (b)? (c) Estimate the number of Americans killed in car accidents during the same period. (d) Estimate the number who died of cancer during those 10 years (For estimates it is fine to take figures for one year and multiply by 10.) Do these figures affect any fears you personally might have? Why or why not? Find out (e) how much the US spends on the military each year, and (f) how much is spent on cancer research. Do you think this is a wise balance?

Risk Management Case Study Paper

Project description
The case study requirements :

1) You should identify a case involving a financial institutions failure of risk controls. For example, the Bear Stearns MBS Hedge Funds failure in 2007,

2) For the failure, explain what happened, why it happened, and what was the consequence to the institution. Explain what steps have been taken by the institution, or by regulators, to prevent this type of thing from happening again.

3) How effective do you think these prevention measures will be? What else would you recommend?

The paper should be in the 15-20 page range, with a comprehensive list of citations. I would expect that you will examine the 10-K filing and the institutions other regulatory filings. Your should properly format your paper, and use the APA citation.

I will upload some some examples of big loses on derivatives, and you can choose only one of them, and write about it. It is up to you to choose any case from the list, but please tell me which one you will chose (I just want to know when you decide). Also, you can find a pdf copy of the required textbook: http://www.bulentsenver.com/FIN5477/Financial_Institutions_Management_AntonySaunders_TextBook.pdf

Nutrition Planning

Imagine that you are working as a nutrition assistant under the supervision of an RD at a privately owned nutrition consulting business. A local physician in the area has referred a patient to your company and the supervising RD asks you to perform a preliminary nutrition assessment on the patient based on the referral information and medical chart information. The patient is a 55-year-old male.
Ht: 6 ft.

Wt: 235 lbs.

Medical history: mild hypercholesterolemia (on Zocor), hypertension (on Toprol). Both are under control with the medications.

New Diagnosis: GERD

Referral notes: Patient has been placed on a common Proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) for management of GERD. Further outpatient nutrition consulting and assessment is requested by the primary care physician. The doctor prescribed the medication and expects that the patient will need to be on this medication for the long-term management of GERD. The patient is complaining of tiredness, recent depression, some odd numb/tingling in the toe area of the foot, and also thinks that he has gotten sick a lot more since his PPI (proton pump inhibitor) medication dosage has been increased.

Assess the patient\’s risk of nutritional deficiencies or side effects from these types of drugs.

Compare and contrast the hominins that lived about 2 million years ago in the same general area of Central East Africa: H. habilis, H. rudolfensis, P. boisei. In your opinion, which (any or all or none) appear to be ancestral to modern humans?
