Gloria smithson and her husband joe have created a revolutionary

Gloria Smithson and her husband Joe have created a revolutionary widget that they believe will revolutionize the industry. Joe Smithson is an engineer, and he and Gloria worked steadily for approximately 1 year to develop the design. They have applied for a patent, which is currently pending. They have created prototypes and are ready to begin looking for manufacturers and accounts. However, they have not yet created a business and are not sure which type of entity will best serve their needs. They want to create a business that can grow steadily and perhaps expand globally. Gloria has researched accounting firms and believes she has found one that will be able to answer all of her questions. She wants to develop a long-term relationship with an accountant who regularly works with start-up businesses and who has global connections.
You are a business planner and accountant. Your expertise is in helping clients evaluate business formation options and business strategy. You have cultivated many international contacts in a variety of fields, including manufacturing. You believe that you will be able to help Gloria find appropriate manufacturing options abroad as well as companies in several countries with which she might want to partner. You have created an extensive memorandum that outlines the various business entity options, the strengths and weaknesses of each, as well as suggestions concerning global expansion. Gloria has come to you to get some advice on which business entity best suits her needs and objectives.
Gloria regularly used widgets* in her position as a manufacturing supervisor at Energy Efficiency Ltd. An engineer by education, she spent evenings designing a newer, better, and more efficient widget that would revolutionize the energy industry. When she felt confident that she had perfected the design, she and her husband Joe fabricated a prototype. When the prototype functioned as they intended, they hired a lawyer to file design and utility patent applications. Now, 18 months later, their attorney told them that they have been granted provisional design and utility patents. Gloria is confident that she is ready to start her business, and she wants to quit her current job to do so. Gloria knows the business will start small but believes that it will grow into a multimillion-dollar company with many employees. She wants to minimize the taxes the business pays, and she wants to make sure that she and her family are insulated from personal liability for debts of the business, or liability in the event of injury caused by the widget.
Joe is Gloria’s husband. He is also an engineer and agrees with Gloria that they should start a business, but he is not willing to quit his job at this point to help Gloria. They need to have at least one steady income, and they rely on Joe’s job benefits like health insurance and his 401k. They borrowed money from Joe’s 401k to manufacture the prototype widget, and they paid the patent application fees and their attorney’s fees from those funds.
Gerald is Gloria’s father. He is retired but is willing to invest some money into Gloria’s business. However, he wants to have some control over the business and wants his investment to be considered a loan that Gloria’s business would have to repay with interest.
Nancy and Roger are childhood friends of Joe’s. They learned about the new widget when they were at the Smithsons’ home for a BBQ and saw the prototype on the kitchen counter. They are independently wealthy and consider themselves to be venture capitalists; they invest money into new businesses they believe will be profitable. They want to invest money into Gloria’s business but don’t want to have any day-to-day responsibilities for running the business.
Gloria is very concerned about insulating herself and her family from personal liability. You are a business planner and accountant. Gloria has come to you to get some advice on which business entity best suits her needs and objectives. For this assignment, you will prepare a three- to four-page memo to Gloria Smithson to advise her on which business entity you recommend she choose based on her situation and your research.

The following case study is taken directly from your Lewis, Packard, and Lewis textbook (p.205). It is reproduced here for your convenience.
Evaluation Emergency
Mario Rinaldi, director of the Developmental Disabilities Training Project, called an emergency meeting of the project staff.
“You’ve all been working really hard on the training manual,” he said. “I hate to put this on you right now, but I’ve got to tell you that I just had word. The feds are sending in their evaluator. He’s going to be here next week, and we’ve got to be ready.”
Amid the groans, Jane Carlin, a staff trainer, spoke up. “What’s the big problem?” she asked. “We’ve been providing a training session every week. We’ve had workshops on developmental disabilities for the teachers, for citizens; we’ve had the TV show, now we’ve got a manual for parents. It seems to me we’re in great shape. So what’s the problem?”
“Well, I was kind of putting this part off,” Rinaldi answered. “They sent along the new evaluation form so we can complete the self-study before the evaluator gets here. That’s the tough part. We’re really going to have to dig to get the information ready.”
“What kind of information do we need? Remember, we did that pretest and posttest with all the people at the workshops. We’ve got a lot of data on the learning effects from the workshop. Of course, it’s not that easy to do with the TV program.”
“That’s the least of our problems, Jane. Remember this is a training project. What they want is information on all participants in any training workshop. They want the ages of the trainees, their sex, their employment, their income–all the demographic stuff. I just didn’t think about all that because the form we used last year didn’t ask for it. You see, we’re using the same kind of evaluation form as continuing ed programs are. It doesn’t make any sense, but I’ll bet we can dig up that information somehow.”
“Wait a minute!” George Steinberg called out. “I worked my tail off on that TV program, and there’s no way in the world I’ll ever be able to even guess who watched it. Does that mean the whole thing didn’t happen? Does that mean I get a grade of zero? I flunk?”
“Now, George, you know it isn’t like that. They just like to have the information so they can put it together with the data from all the other projects they funded. They’ve got to show results, just as we do.”
“That’s fine to say, John, but if they’re going to evaluate us on how many men, women, and children show up at our sessions, we should do the kind of stuff that can lend itself to what they’re looking for. I’m feeling as if my work just isn’t going to make the grade.”
“I’m starting to feel that way, too” Carlin said. “What’s the point of doing one thing if they’re evaluating something else?”
“Wait a minute, everybody,” Rinaldi responded in frustration. “We’re getting way off the track here. These people aren’t here to tell us what we should and should not do. They’re not going to “grade” us on what we did. One of the things they ask about in an open-ended question is the content of the program, the kinds of interventions we did. There’s no problem there. The problem is just in putting together the data they want, the demographic characteristics and all that. Now, I’ve got most of it somewhere. All I need is for somebody to volunteer to help me dig through the files and see what we can find that might relate to some of the questions they’re asking. We’ll be able to get the sex of participants by looking at their names on those address cards we had them fill out. The ages will be hard. We’ll have to guess at that.”
Write a case analysis addressing the following questions. Use the list of questions as a guideline, answering them one at a time for clarity.ÿPlease be thorough when answering the questions. There is no set length for this paper but again, give informed, thoughtful answers.
1. What concepts from your readings and the online lectures are illustrated by this case?2. From the case, what are the outcome objectives and the process objectives for this program?3. What data should the staff have been collecting for this program related to both outcome and process objectives?4. How might the agency have avoided this “emergency” situation?5. How might the funding source have helped avoid the situation?6. How should the staff deal with this immediate situation? For instance, how should they go about estimating the size and composition of the TV audience?7. Why does the funding agency need demographic information?8. Will their demographic estimates be valid, if every agency they funded faces the same “emergency”? Why or why not?9. What impact might invalid information have on the funding source, especially if every agency faces the same “emergency”?10. What lessons does this case study teach you about information managementÿthat you will apply to your own agency settings?

(1) Developmental Theory: ÿÿYour Toolbox ÿ[WLO: 1] [CLO: 2]
In previous courses, you studied various learning theories and the role played by theory in our ability as caregivers to support the developmental needs of the children in our care. Now that you have further studied developmental domains in this class, it is time to connect theory to the more individual needs of children within these domains. According to Groark, McCarthy, & Kirk (2014).ÿ
In viewing one?s knowledge of developmental theories as somewhat of a tool box, an early childhood professional can identify which theory or theories can best help to make sense of the current circumstances. In identifying these theories, the caregiver can identify which approaches might work best to support the growth and development of the children in his or her care, based on the unique characteristics of the situation at hand. (Section 3.11, para. 3).
Identifying those specific approaches or strategies is the goal of this discussion.
To prepare for this discussion,
ú Read Chapter 2: ?Influences on Child Development.?
ú Review Table 3.5: Summary of developmental theories (Section 3.11: Integrating and Using Developmental Theories).
Review your assigned child development influence and text section from below.
ÿÿ
Last Name Begins ÿÿWith
Assigned Child ÿÿDevelopment Influence
Section from Text
ÿ
A – E
Genetics/Biological ÿÿInfluences
Section 2.1
Then imagine you are working with a child whose growth and/or development has been impacted in some way by the influence you studied.ÿ
For your initial post,
ú Summarize, in your own words, the influence on child development you were assigned from above and its impact on a child?s growth and development.
ú Specify the age range of the child you identified.
ú Tell which domain (s) you are supporting specifically (i.e., cognitive, motor, language, self-help, and/or socio-emotional).
ú Describe at least two strategies you can use in the classroom to support the child.
ÿÿ
(2) Developmentally ÿÿAppropriate Practice: The Key [WLO: 2] [CLOs: 1, 2, 4]
Since you are enrolled in this course, it is hoped that you understand early childhood education is valuable for promoting the well-being of children and families. The ever-increasing support for early childhood programs is a testament to this. Now let?s consider what is key to ensuring early childhood programs and professionals have a positive and long-lasting effect on children and families. While there are several pieces to this puzzle, one of the most important aspects is the use of developmentally appropriate practice (DAP). DAP involves educators meeting the needs of children based on their stages of development, ?both as individuals and as part of a group; and helping each child meet challenging and achievable learning goals? (NAEYC, n.d., para. 1).
To prepare for this discussion,
ú Read Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) Introduction (Links to an external site.).
ú Read Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Programs Serving Children From Birth Through Age 8 (Links to an external site.).
ú Complete the 10 Effective DAP Strategies interactivity. (Links to an external site.)
For your initial post, describe what, in your opinion, would be the ideal developmentally appropriate classroom environment for an age group you desire to work with. In your description, address the following questions:
ú What is your ideal age group of children to work with?
ú What does the actual classroom environment look like and have in it?
ú How is it developmentally appropriate?
ú What are the qualifications and dispositions of the educators or caregivers in the classroom?
ú What types of learning experiences will children have? Why are they developmentally appropriate?

(3) Cultural Context: ÿÿDiscipline
Discipline and guidance are major components of a preschool program. ÿYou need to establish your own philosophy before you can communicate this with parents. ÿReview the following quizzes to reflect on your opinion of discipline and guidance.
a. The Best Discipline Tactics: A Quiz
b. The Discipline Quiz: True or False
Review Table 7:1 in your text, “Approaches to Guidance and Discipline with Young Children,” and choose two extrinsic reinforcers/rewards and two intrinsic reinforcers/punishments. ÿGive an example of each choice to demonstrate your understanding of “How It Works” and explain why it is an appropriate choice for a defiant child. ÿExplain what you would say to a parent who might question your decision to use this method. ÿFinally, share with your classmates your favorite extrinsic reward for a 3-year-old. ÿ
ÿÿ
(4) Problem Solving
Choose one of the following scenarios from Chapter 8 in your text:
ú Some parents request that their boys should not be permitted to play in the dress up area, and should not be allowed to wear women?s hats, shoes, and clothes to dress up.ÿ
ú Some parents complain that their children continually come home with paint on their clothes and sand in their hair, and ask that their children not be allowed to paint or play in the sandbox (Wardle, 2013, p. 221).
Using the following strategies from Keyser, presented in Chapter 8, construct a thoughtful response to the parent in your chosen situation. ÿName the scenario in your post (Dress Up or Mess). ÿThen, respond to each of the following points in your post.
a. Listen and ask open-ended questions. ÿ(What questions will you ask to be sure you understand the parent’s perspective?)
b. Restate and reframe the parent?s ideas. ÿ(How will you rephrase the situation to demonstrate to the parent that you understand their problem?)
c. Find common ground. ÿ(Refer back to the child. ÿRestate that both you and the parent want what is best for the child, therefore______ should be done.)
d. State your position, ideas, and feelings. ÿ(Be sure to leave your emotions out of this. ÿBe sure to include fact.)ÿ
e. Give information as appropriate. ÿ(At this point, you must include one outside resource, preferably a community resource, to assist the parent with this issue.)
f. Give the parent an opportunity to respond. (What will you say to encourage the parent to share their thoughts?)
g. Outline the conflict as equally valid viewpoints. (Although this would be necessary in a conversation, it is not necessary to include in this assignment.)ÿ
h. Invite, discuss, and choose possible solutions. (Offer a reasonable solution.)
i. Thank the parent and set up a time to check back in. (What would be the appropriate amount of time before revisiting this situation?)

Connection between reintregrative shaming and restor

W 7 A What is the relationship or connection between reintregrative shaming and restorative justice?This does not require APA formatting but will require citations and references in APA formatting. (Just ONLY 1 paragraph to the above)
W 7 D Qÿÿÿ Discuss the impact of state intervention of offenders and how the labeling theory is applied of the Lilly Text.
ÿÿÿ ÿÿÿÿ ÿÿW 7 D Q 2 Is labeling theory even a theory? Defend your answer. ÿÿÿ ÿÿÿ ÿÿÿ
(Just ONLY 1 paragraph to the above) S Jw 7 #1 According to Lilly,(2011) Labeling theory’s second major proposition is that state intervention through the justice system causes stable or career criminality. It’s first response according to Lilly,(2011) had no effects making the perspective irrelevant as a theory of criminal behavior.ÿ What I take from reading is that a lot of the labeling theory is based on a bias.ÿ Someone thinking that certain factors make it more likely that someone will commit crime even after serving time. But as the reading goes on it talks about how state intervention can be a criminogenic risk factor- something that contributes the continuing or criminal behavior.ÿ I believe that any risk factor can lead to a life of crime but also how someone actually handles their choices of which road they will take.
(Just only a shot response to the above)
T AW 7 D 1Labeling theory?s second major proposition in the criminal justice system is state intervention (Lilly, Cullen, and Ball, 2011, pg. 149). As many critics have found that often criminal delinquency starts for people far before they have a criminal history and are place in the criminal justice system, but rather it starts from where an individual grows up and their surroundings. It is said that the state intervention really has no effect on individuals at all, because no matter how the state intervenes or what they do, criminals are more so influenced by social forces than the state itself (Lilly, Cullen, and Ball, 2011, pg. 149). This basically means that labeling theory placed by state intervention has no way to change whether an individual becomes a criminal or not, it only is a reaction to criminal involvement. Labeling theory can really only work in cases where an individual has something to lose because of the label, if it is merely just a slap on the wrist and has no effect on their daily lives, then most likely that state intervention has no real outcome. Overall, I think that labeling theory controlled by the state, does not always have a real benefit. It does not stop an individual from becoming a criminal and it only stops the criminal in cases where they actually have something to lose by commiting the crime. If the criminal feels they have nothing to lose by participating in a certain crime, than labeling theory will not work. ÿ(Just only a shot response to the above) S Jw 7 #2
Labeling Theory as all theories go are opinions.ÿ Someone’s thoughts on why or how something affects things in life. Are theories tested yes and so are facts but it’s the result of a fact that makes it a fact.ÿ Theories try to explain why a person acts a certain way or what effects the reasons why people choose to live a life of crime or a crime free life.ÿ Labeling theory is trying to find out whether a label makes a person more apt to become a criminal if labeled a criminal or if they will not become one based on that label.
(Just only a shot response to the above) T AW 7 D Q 2I think it is very difficult to say whether labeling theory is a theory or not. Some people might argue that it is merely an observation. Though, isn?t that the idea of the word theory anyways? Every theory is basically an observation that experts made and experimented on to either prove itself or not. I think we have to look at the facts of the labeling theory, it was repeatedly discussed how that by putting a label on an individual it may influence them on whether to keep committing crimes or not. This theory was tested many times and continuously it was shown that by labeling an individual as a criminal the likelihood of their recidivism was much higher than individuals with no label placed on them (Lilly, Cullen, and Ball, 2011, pgs. 150-151). Therefore, I believe the facts point to the labeling theory being a theory because experts made an observation, experimented on it, and proved the theory correct.

SOCW 6070-week 4 discussion 1 Looking Through Different Lenses
I have provided the case study and all resources I work for hospice and my lens is meeting people where they are in their journey and trying to help the whole person and family
As a social worker, you bring your own lens?that is, your own set of assumptions, biases, beliefs, and interpretations?into your interactions with clients and the human services professionals with whom you collaborate. Human services organizations have their own cultures that influence their organizational lenses. An organizational lens reflects key assumptions about the individuals to whom the organization provides services. These assumptions influence the organization?s policies and procedures which, in turn, impact service delivery. For example, an organization that focuses on understanding the perspectives of the clients it serves may allow clients to provide feedback about their client experience through membership on advisory boards or boards of directors. The clients may have the power to make recommendations and decisions about the organization?s policies and procedures.
Understanding cultural lenses?your personal lens, as well as those of the organizations and other individuals with whom you work and interact?will enable you to better serve your clients.
Focus on the Paula Cortez case study for this Discussion. In this case study, four professionals present their perspectives on the Paula Cortez case. These workers could view Paula?s case through a variety of cultural lenses, including socioeconomic, gender, ethnicity, and mental health. For this Discussion, you take the role of the social worker on the case and interpret Paula?s case using two of these lenses.
Post how you, as a social worker, might interpret the needs of Paula Cortez, the client, through the two cultural lenses you selected.ÿ
Then, explain how, in general, you would incorporate multiple perspectives of a variety of stakeholders and/or human services professionals as you treat clients.
Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.
CASE STUDY also read Culture and Leadership chapter 15 pages 383 to 421
Paula has just been involuntarily hospitalized and placed on the psychiatric unit, for a minimum of 72 hours, for observation. Paula was deemed a suicidal risk after an assessment was completed by the social worker. The social worker observed that Paula appeared to be rapidly decompensating, potentially placing herself and her pregnancy at risk.
Paula just recently announced to the social worker that she is pregnant. She has been unsure whether she wanted to continue the pregnancy or terminate. Paula also told the social worker she is fearful of the father of the baby, and she is convinced he will try to hurt her. He has started to harass, stalk, and threaten her at all hours of the day. Paula began to exhibit increased paranoia and reported she started smoking again to calm her nerves. She also stated she stopped taking her psychiatric medications and has been skipping some of her HIV medications.
The following is an interdisciplinary team meeting being held in a conference room at the hospital. Several members of Paula?s team (HIV doctor, psychiatrist, social worker, and OB nurse) have gathered to discuss the precipitating factors to this hospitalization. The intent is to craft a plan of action to address Paula’s noncompliance with her medications, increased paranoia, and the pregnancy.
TEEM Dialogueÿ
Physician
Dialogue 1
Paula is a complicated patient, and she presents with a complicated situation. She is HIV positive, has Hepatitis C, and multiple foot ulcers that can be debilitating at times. Paula has always been inconsistent with her HIV meds?no matter how often I explain the need for consistent compliance in order to maintain her health. Paula has exhibited a lack of insight into her medical conditions and the need to follow instructions. Frankly, I was astonished and frustrated when she stopped her wound care treatments and started to use chamomile tea on her foot ulcers. Even though we have educated her to the negative consequences of stopping her meds, and trying alternative medications instead, she continues to do so.
Psychiatrist
Dialogue 1
As Paula?s psychiatrist for close to 10 years, I have followed her progress in and out of the hospital for quite a while?and I know her very well. She is often non-compliant with her medications, randomly stopping them after she reports she doesn?t like the way they make her feel. She has been hospitalized to stabilize her medications several times over the last 10 years, although she has managed to stay out of the psychiatric unit for the last three. Recently, she had seemed to appreciate the benefits of taking her medications and her compliance has much improved. She had been seeing her social worker regularly, and her overall mental health and physical health were improving. This has changed recently, after several stressful life events. We learned that Paula was pregnant by a man she met briefly at a local flower shop. She also reports he has been harassing her with threatening phone calls and unwarranted visits to her home. Paula disclosed to the social worker that she was neither eating nor taking her medication?and she had not gotten out of bed for days. Her decompensation was rapid and extremely worrisome and, therefore, called for a 72-hour hold.
OB Nurse
Dialogue 1
I have not known the patient long, but it does appear that she is trying her best to deal with a very difficult situation. Pregnancies are stressful times for even the healthiest of women. For Paula to learn she is pregnant at 43?in addition to her HIV and Hepatitis status and her bipolar diagnosis?must be so overwhelming. Adding to this, she has come to her two appointments alone and stated she has no one to bring along with her. When I inquired about the father of the child, she said he?s a bad man and he won?t leave her alone. She seemed truly frightened of him and appears convinced he will hurt her.
Social Worker
Dialogue 1
When Paula came to me and told me she was pregnant, I was indeed shocked by this announcement. She had never mentioned dating anyone, and with her multiple medical and psychiatric issues, I never thought this would be an issue we would address. Paula and I have developed a strong working relationship over the last two years, and she has shared many private emotions and thoughts. This relationship has been tested, though, since I suggested she be admitted to the hospital. Paula was furious with me, accusing me of locking her up and not helping her. It will take time to repair our working relationship. Once I rebuild that rapport, we will need to work together to find a way to address all of her concerns. We will need a plan that will address her medical needs, her psychiatric needs, and the needs of her unborn child.

Recently Jane was hired as an office manager for a pediatric orthopedic practice in a large city. This practice has the main site at your location and several remote sites where doctors travel throughout the week. Because Jane is the office manager at the main site, she is also in charge of supervising a team of office managers at all remote sites.
ÿ
All students in this course are the team of office managers that Jane is supervising.
ÿ
One of Jane?s first tasks was to create a ?uniform? set of documents that each site will use for basic office tasks. One document is a time tracking document that each office manager fills out. In the past, the ?honor system? was in place, and managers were allowed to fill out the form and turn it in without a supervisor reviewing their document. This process was explained to Jane as a decision made as a sort of ?perk? for all the office managers, as they did not need a supervisor reviewing their work.
ÿ
One day, she decided to review some of the past time tracking documents and immediately noticed that the method of adding up the total hours worked is not always correct in each document. As she continued to look through the documents, she noticed that some of the files are at least 5 years old. Even though this discrepancy existed, she wondered if the time needed to investigate the file was worth it. Jane decided to contact the office managers and inquire about her findings.
ÿ
She wants the team to meet with her and provide her with some solutions that could be implemented in the future throughout the offices.
ÿ
Your task as the team of office managers is to discuss the issue with the time tracking documents and create a solution to be implemented in all offices. You will submit a time tracking document at the end of the week for Jane to review and approve.
ÿ
You will want to discuss the issue with the first-time tracking document and figure out ways to institute supervisory approval as part of the process.
ÿ

Create a solution to this problem by clearly defining what steps you would take to ensure that a situation like this does not happen again. Your solution might include such things as communication improvements and modified documents.

ÿ
Once everyone has agreed on the process, you will create and attach a model time tracking document and tell Jane why the new time tracking document will be beneficial to all the pediatric orthopedic practice offices.
ÿ
Note: You do not actually need to submit or attach a time document, as this is only the planning and brainstorming stage.
Since you will be reviewing this scenario along with your classmates, your answers may be similar; however, please keep in mind that your response cannot have the same answer as another student. Likewise a post of, ?I agree with Jane, and I have nothing to add? will not be considered for grading. Please create an original response, citing sources when necessary and following APA formatting guidelines.
