 This project looks at the thickness of nonplanar graphs.  Thickness is a difficult topic due to the lack of theoretical results.  However, an investigation into the thickness of nonplanar graphs offers excellent insight into planar graphs.  Below are the specific requirements for Project 2.

Use Theorem 4.11 on page 90 to help with the requirements.
– Select and discuss a graph, G, with thickness 2
  — Show the graph and provide all of the descriptive information
  — Show the planar graphs that can be superimposed to form G
– Select and discuss a graph, H, with thickness 3
  — Show the graph and provide all of the descriptive information
  — Show the planar graphs that can be superimposed to form H
– Select and discuss a maximal planar graph with 8 vertices
  — Show the graph and provide all of the descriptive information
  — Discuss how the addition of a single edge creates a graph of thickness 2
  — Show the planar graphs that can be superimposed to form the graph with its additional edge
– Discuss some generalizations about graphs of thickness 2
  — Let us know what you learned during this project
  — Provide additional graphs as required

A few notes about format: use MS PowerPoint for your presentation; develop a presentation that is 10-20 slides in length; incorporate audio files into your presentation in order to explain your work; use Equation Editor for all mathematical symbols, e.g. x ∈ X or Cl(A) ⋂ Cl(X-A); and select fonts, backgrounds, etc. to make your presentation look professional.

100% No Plagiarism. (Also See attached)

 Use textbooks, class materials, outside sources, and use APA format (Note: first person  expression is expected). Reflect on your experiences and your prior preconceived ideas.  Which of those preconceived ideas are now open to re-interpretation and why? What have you  learned about yourself and “them” now that the immersion is over? Take what you have learned  about this group and yourself and apply it in a counseling context. Assume you have a client  from this group and discuss each of the following:  Use the insights you gained into your preconceived ideas of this group to identify ways  you will cope with your internal dialogue about clients from this group. Have your biases  shifted, and how will you keep your internalized biases at bay?  What are some likely counseling issues you might expect from this group and why?  What approaches (counseling and systemic) will you use and why?  What are the ethical and legal issues inherent in counseling a client from this group?  What will you do now to be ready to meet this future client?  What did you learn in this experience that you will use with future multicultural/diverse  clients?  Write 8-10 pages; Graded; 25 pts, APA and outside resources required  If you are a non-counseling major, instead of applying your experience to the  “counseling” area, please apply it to your area of education (i.e. teacher, administrator,  etc..)  Also, place your Cultural Immersion papers in the Discussion Board if you wish to share  with your classmates

Assignment 1: LASA 2—Risk Management Applications

While there are many factors that lead to an organization’s success or failure, it is important to identify the risk associated with the endeavor—financial or nonfinancial. Once the risks have been identified, management has a responsibility to develop measures to mitigate those risks.

Tasks:

Use the publicly-traded company you chose in Module 1 and imagine it has made a strategic decision to start doing business in China. Using the discussion, Currency Exchange Rates: A Case in China with Country Risk, (Chapter 7, Global Finance, page 192 of your textbook) as a model for the report you will write, prepare a report in which you:

  1. Develop a brief country risk assessment.
  2. Determine the political, economic, social, and capital risks associated with doing business in China. What are the most important factors to consider? Why?
  3. After years of keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar, in 2015 the Chinese  allowed it to float freely in international currency exchange rate markets. You may read more about the Yuan reforms here. Many economists believe that keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar has caused it to be undervalued by 30 to 50 percent. Discuss what impact a revaluation of the Yuan might have on US multinationals doing business there, on China’s exports, and on Chinese citizens’ standard of living. What impact would a revaluation have on Chinese inflation and on purchasing power parity? Explain.  
  4. Yuran link https://www.cnbc.com/2015/08/15/imf-yuan-reforms-may-bring-china-quite-close-to-floating-rate.html
  5.  
    Your paper should be about 2,000 words.

Complete an analysis of the key EXTERNAL  factors that have implications for successful implementation of the united states postal service (USPS) vision, mission and objectives(VMO), strategy and goals/objectives. You will examine USPS industry and the competitive conditions/positioning affecting it now or likely to do so in the future.  REPORT SHOULD BE an approximate 2,000-word double-spaced APA-formatted paper. The title page, reference list, and any appendices are not included in this suggested word count. You do not need to include an abstract.Your paper should address these topics:

  1. A brief explanation of the industry or industries in which the united states postal service operates as well as context for USPS current positioning.
  2. Analyze the current conditions in the united states postal service and in its relevant general environment and their likely implications for successful implementation of USPS strategic goals and related actions. Be sure to address the PESTEL framework.
  3. Apply Porter’s Five-Forces Model to enrich your understanding of the environment in which your organization is now or may be operating. The Five Forces model should stress that this model is used to evaluate the industry, not your selected organization’s activities. The model should be used to isolate the dominant force(s) in the industry faced by all competitors and that produce the greatest threat to your organization’s profits and/or strategy. You should discuss how your firm can provide a defense against this threat or threats. 
  4. Describe USPS strategic group and construct a map to show its relative market position. Add in a discussion of your rationale for the grouping.
  5. Summarize the threats and opportunities facing USPS gleaned from your analysis. (SWOT analysis) Submit the SWOT format in Table form and add in some narrative to discuss the threats and opportunities in more detail. Explain in your discussion (not in the table) why you selected them and how they relate to the VMO and organization’s strategy.
  6. Evaluate the extent to which USPS current strategy appears a good match for the competitive conditions it confronts or any gaps that must be addressed.
  7. Add in a strong conclusion that ensures the reader leaves your paper with a clear recap of your key points.

  •   
  • Compare and contrast the two different styles of solution-oriented therapy you observed in the Berg and Grantham videos. Describe some things they did that were similar in nature and what you noticed about their therapeutic style that was different. Share whether you feel one or the other of these experienced therapists was more effective than the other or not, and why you feel this way.
  • Carefully reread the case of the pre-med student, Dan Lee, through a solution-focused lens. This case is presented by Walsh (2014) from a person-centered intervention perspective. As you read this case again through a solution-focused lens, consider how you would engage this client from a solution-focused perspective. Share your thoughts and plan, and include a brief dialogue that demonstrates a solution-focused interaction between the two of you. Close this part of your discussion post by commenting on whether you feel SFT would be more or less effective than PCT in this case and conclude with your rationale.
  • Finally, complete this week’s initial post by sharing your thoughts on the following: Solution-focused therapy has been utilized in a wide range of presenting issues and situations. Share a presenting issue that you feel would be less appropriate for a solution-focused approach along with an alternate approach that you feel would be more appropriate and why you came to this conclusion.

Income and wages are measurable indicators of how prosperity is distributed amongst social class. Wealth, often determined by an individual’s net worth (assets minus liabilities), is another indicator that is used to determine class. Wealth for working class families is measured by their cars, savings, and home. As people improve their social and economic standing, wealth may include things like stocks and bonds, commercial real estate, and expensive jewelry.

Wealth is an important indicator because it spans past, present, and future generations. For example, compare the children of parents who can save money and leave an inheritance with children of parents who economically struggle and have few assets to pass on to the next generation. Historically, the creation and accumulation of wealth provides evidence of the legacy of racism, sexism, and discrimination and their role in determining class. Black/African Americans, women, and Hispanic/Latinos have historically been denied the means to obtain assets and grow wealth. Consider the impact of chronic marginalization on the Black/African American community’s ability to build wealth. While the income gaps between various ethnic groups may be decreasing, the gap between assets remains wide. Data from the Pew Research center show that the median wealth of Caucasian households is 20 times that of Black/African American households and 18 times that of Hispanic/Latinos households in the U.S. (Pew Research Center, 2011).

Class extends beyond wealth and other financial indicators. Class also includes details like the amount of free time you enjoy (because you are not working three jobs to make ends meet) or feeling like there is a “right” way to speak and act in order to be heard. For this Discussion, analyze how classism has impacted your life.

By Day 3

Post an analysis of how classism has factored into your life. Then, explain a strategy you might use as a social worker to address the impact of class and class differences on the lives of your clients.
