Formulate a linear programming problem based on the information above and answer the following question: To maximize the total profit, how many acres of land should the farmer allocate to each crop?

This is Analytics Report.

A farmer in California owns 40 acres of land and wants to grow carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower during the winter season. Each crop requires an investment, including purchases of supplies and fertilizer, and manual labor. Growing an acre of carrots requires a $50 investment and 20 hours of manual labor. An acre of broccoli requires a $35 investment and 35 hours of labor. An acre of cauliflower needs a $45 investment and 30 hours of labor. The farmer and her family have $2,500 in their budget and can spend up to 1,000 hours of labor. She expects that the profits from each acre of carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower are $200, $250, and $230, respectively. In order to have a variety of crops for sale, the farmer wants to allocate at least 5 acres for each crop.
A. Formulate a linear programming problem based on the information above and answer the following question: To maximize the total profit, how many acres of land should the farmer allocate to each crop? What is the maximum profit that the farmer can earn? Walk me through the process that you used to answer this question.

Write a compelling 3 page short setup for the world you predict.

GAMERPUNK 2077 will be your tale of the games industry, the entertainment scene and the gamers of the year 2077. This will be a paper, but don’t worry, it should be fun!
The prediction will be broken into three parts:
1. The Image: Write a compelling 3 page short setup for the world you predict. Think of this as an establishing scenario for a book, the prologue that explains the world and its denizens. I want to know a few specific things-
a. What does the world look like now? Have we made a lot of progress with technology? How has that changed the visual landscape of the world at large? Are arcades back and dominating empty mall complexes? Are there VR headsets installed in every restaurant booth? What impact has game technology and culture had on the world?
b. What are games like now? Is it all VR? Is it something else entirely or are we still poking at keyboards and controllers like cavemen?
c. How far have gamers come in the public eye? Are they still geeks? Are they the new jocks? Do the same old stereotypes apply and how has the change, or lack of change affected the community?
d. What has become of the games industry? Are companies like Activision and Blizzard even bigger or has the structure completely changed?
e. Tell me about at least one major event that happened between now and 2077 that really changed the way games are played, how companies make games and/or how gamers are perceived. Think of this like a “world war three” type of event, some controversy or breakthrough so huge that it became the catalyst for incredible change or a complete end to progress. I’m asking for one event, but I will happily read about more.
2. The Reasoning: Tell me what events you learned of or uncovered during this class that informed your predictions. I’d also love to hear about events, preconceptions or readings/viewings outside of this class and this semester that helped to inform this prediction.
a. For this section I want at least two full pages of items. It can be a bulleted list. Include links wherever possible.
b. Be sure to explain what aspects of your predictions the various findings informed. For instance, if you really learned a lot about Gamer Gate and you predicted some major change in gender representation in games, connect the two. Make sure I know why you made the predictions you made!
3. The Impact: Spend one page thinking back on the class and tell me if your predictions would have been the same before this semester. What has this class meant to you? Was it just a fun chance to think about games and their “social impacts” or did you come away with new opinions or ideas? If it didn’t change the way you think about things, did it reinforce your original opinions or were you simply unaffected. Be honest, I’d love to know what I might do differently in the future to add more to this experience and inform some really fun exciting predictions!
So that’s it. 6 pages in total, double spaced, more if you’re feeling ambitious. Have fun with this, but really think about what we’ve discussed and what these conversations and controversies might mean for the future of a growing industry and a long-misunderstood subculture.

construct your own ideas about Toni Morrison’s novel Sula

Instructions: For this paper, construct your own ideas about Toni Morrison’s novel Sula. Support your ideas with evidence, examples, and quotes. Be detailed. Use precise language.
Your paper should have a clear structure and few if any grammatical errors (discipline) but it should also explore new ideas and potentialities (creativity). Below is only a limited list of topics. You are free to write on another topic of your choice so long as it is related to Sula and you have an engaging, central idea.
Guidelines: 1000 – 1,500 words (about a 4 to 6 page paper) double-spaced in MLA format… you will lose credit if your paper is under the length requirement.
You must use at least three direct quotes from Sula. Blend all quotes into your writing grammatically (see Modules for help). Always cite the page number.
You may structure your discussion however you see fit, but please:
– Assume the reader has not read the novel, so I recommend one or two sentences of summary somewhere in the first page of the paper (including author and title).
– Start each paragraph with YOUR idea. You need not have formal topic sentences, but use Morrison’s words, or any other evidence you may want to use, as backup to your position. Avoid starting paragraphs with summary.
– You may use outside sources for this paper, but you are not required to do so.
Topics:
1. Although they meet only once in the novel, Sula and Shadrack are deeply connected, symbolically and otherwise. Write an essay about the roles Sula and Shadrack share in the larger community, about their “intimacy,” about their first meeting (and Shadrack’s “always”), and/or about the importance of each to the other.
2. What do you think Morrison is saying about the power of the maternal in Sula? Focusing on Eva’s relationship with Plum, write an essay about the role of mother, or matriarch, in the novel. Consider the “meaning” of Eva’s determination to “save” Plum’s life in the outhouse scene as it relates to the scene of Eva’s burning of Plum later on. Consider Eva’s symbolic significance as it relates to Morrison’s treatment of the false good/evil binary (and other binaries in the novel–love/hate, life/death, etc.).
3. Write an essay about the traumatic and devastating impact of (institutionalized) racism on the experiences of one or more characters in Sula. You may want to consider the history of redlining, white flight, suburbanization, and other systemic forces.
4. Write an essay about the significance of Chicken Little’s drowning in Sula. You might, for example, consider the thematic importance of the scene and/or the roles Nel and Sula play before, during, and after the event. Or you might focus on Nel and Eva’s communication on the event towards the end of the novel. You might also focus on the thematic significance of Chicken Little’s funeral (in the funeral scene, for example).
5. Write an essay in which you analyze the “twig ritual” in Sula, focusing on the scene’s symbolic significance, on how the scene foreshadows what is to come, on the way the scene symbolically signifies issues of (female) sexuality, and/or on the “meaning” of Nel and Sula’s “behavior” throughout the scene.
6. Morrison intensifies the impact of the novel with symbolic references and images – fire and ice, for example, or fire and water, windows, light and darkness, hot and cold, Sula’s birthmark, birds, names, among others. Choose one or more of such images/symbols/pairings and explore how Morrison uses such references to say what might not be possible to articulate in words alone.
7. Betrayal is an important theme in Sula. Write an essay about the theme of betrayal as it applies to the friendship between Sula and Nel; be sure to address the question of who betrays whom and how.
8. Write an essay about the role Shadrack plays in the novel; be sure to include a discussion of National Suicide Day, his connection to Sula, and/or the drowning scene towards the novel’s end.
9. Write an essay about the mother/daughter relationship between Helene and Nel in Morrison’s novel.
10. Trauma and shame play out in devastating ways in Morrison’s novel. All of the characters in Sula must cope with the destructive legacy of trauma and the inevitable shame that follows in its wake. We see these patterns at work in individual families, passed on from one generation to the next. Morrison also suggests, however, that the destructive legacy of shame and trauma occurs because of the history of racism in this country, a history which includes slavery and racial violence. Write an essay about Morrison’s treatment of shame, trauma, and race in Sula. Give your essay focus by concentrating on one character, for example, or on one scene, one relationship, etc.
11. Write an essay on Morrison’s treatment of the theme of good vs. evil as it applies to a particular relationship.
12. In Sula, Toni Morrison challenges conventional wisdom and values in part by re-imagining binary thinking. Morrison offers new ways of looking at binary pairs such as right and wrong, good and evil, love and hate, self and other, and life and death, for example. Write an essay about how Morrison challenges readers to re-consider social conceptions of morality when she redefines one or more binary pairings. Be sure to narrow your focus; for example, consider the question of good and evil or guilt and innocence as it applies to Sula and Nel; or, you may focus on love and hate or life and death as either pair applies to Eva and Plum or to Sula and Nel.

What reason(s) do Panamanian women have for relationships with US men?

This is a literarly analysis essay on the book Borderland on the Isthmus by Michael E. Donoghue. Below are the assingment
instructions that were given.

Question:
In Borderland on the Isthmus, Michael Donoghue argues that in the Panama Canal Zone “race, national identity, and gender” and, I would add, class, intersected throughout the 20th century (246) Discuss at least two of the bolded words. IOW, how do they intersect? Note that these categories not only affect/structure relationships between U.S. citizens and Panamanians, but also within Panamanian society. You may integrate material from th course as a whole but most of your writing/analysis must be on the book.
——
This is one of those works that if read carefully (not to be confused with obsessively) and without distractions flows in an understandable manner.
====
In the history of 20th-century Latin America, the Panama Canal/Canal Zone has possessed a great emblematic significance. The canal runs through the territory of a tiny republic dependent from birth on the patronage of the United States, and for 75 years its operation was under exclusive U.S. control. Throughout the 20th-century the canal has been a symbol of Washington’s power to dominate the weaker states of the hemisphere.
========
This book is about encounters, positive and negative, of various communities in a very odd place: a location in one country but controlled by another. There are the citizens of Panama, those of the United States, immigrants from the Caribbean and China, and points in between. Within and between those communities are interactions marked by gender, race, social class, and citizenship.
======
If I might be so bold, this really is a good read (but please, do not refer to it as a novel in your essay; it isn’t that). As such, what follows serves more as a general guide to the chapters; a way to telegraph some of the main points of each chapter–however, it does not cover every single topic discussed.
—-
Skip Intro
——
Chapter One
Two major topics:
(a) quick intro to Panama and US role in country’s history.
–in keeping with a theme introduced in class and reading, the U.S. would become the dominant player in the Hemisphere, and Panama serves as a fascinating case study of this phenomenon. On the other hand, though the US was the dominant power, it was not the sole power; there was pushback from Panamanians who had their own agenda(s).
(b) A well laid out intro to the various groupings in the Zone. The rest of the book will delve into the interactions within and between these groups. The author groups these as a series of boundaries (think of these as communities). These boundaries are however, constantly being crossed, and those interactions are at the heart of the book.
=====
Chapter Two (skip 82-87)
A look at how US citizens, or the largest group, Zonians, maintained a separate identity in a country where they were a minority. Here the focus is on how this was maintained. Consider interactions between US citizens and the vastly larger communities: what were these interactions like?
=====
Chapter 3
“One of the central clashes race and identity…pitted the black West India against the white Zonian…the animosity of Latin Panamanians toward the Antillean [West Indians or Afro-Caribbeans] and its response played a key role…as well.”
There are fascinating discussions of cultural contributions/mixture in Panama, US Jim Crow, the issue of colorism (and the politics of hair) among Panamanians and responses/reactions by West Indians.
======
Chapter 4
Sex. And gender.
Miscegenation, concubinage, troubled marriages, assault, rape, bigamy, abandonment, and murder.
What reason(s) do Panamanian women have for relationships with US men? The reverse? What changes occur among US women?
=======
Chapter 5 (Start with pp. 175-177)
The US military in Panama, focusing especially on non-officers. The relationship b/w soldiers and Zonians is explored as well as the relationship b/w the military and Panamanian police, military, and civilians.
Of course, the US military was multi, and the author turns to Puerto Ricans in Panama. Here, note how language and a common Latin American culture was both inclusive and exclusive.
The next group of soldiers are African (US) Americans. This is a second Black community, yet different from Afro Caribbeans; after all, they’re US soldiers. Do Panamanians make this distinction?
=========
Chapter 6
Crime and punishment. Given the diverse nature of the Zone, the first is predictable. It’s the second that reveals differing application and understanding b/w Panamanians, Afro-Caribbeans, and US officials, emphasizing to some their “distinctly second-class citizenship,” along with “economic inequality, racism, and national chauvinism.”

What different models of female sexuality are represented in the text?

For the final essay, you should compose an argumentative essay in which you demonstrate your analytical reading and writing skills as you apply them to Toni Morrison’s Sula. Below you will find a list with potential topics, although you can propose your own (in such case, make sure you get my permission to write about something different before you begin to work on your paper).
You must also incorporate at least two academic (non-fictional) sources in your analysis; moreover, Cliff Notes, Spark Notes, Wikipedia, abstracts, book reviews, and newspapers or magazine articles should not be used at all. You should also consider the guidelines and grading criteria included below. The major (although not the only) requirement for this paper is that your argument should be based on a critical close reading of the text. In other words, DO NOT use the text as an excuse to talk about a different or larger topic throughout the entire paper.
POSSIBLE TOPICS:
Sula vs. Nel: Nel and Sula’s relationship is mystical and passionate: they met “in the delirium of their noon dreams” (51) and are described as inhabiting one body and mind. How do they converge and diverge as soul mates and friends? How do their differences play a role in others’ perceptions of them? Why does Nel allow her parents to strip her of any internal spark, whereas Sula argues with her grandmother that she’ll “split this town in two … before I’ll let you put it out” (93)? What kinds of values does each character represent? What is their connection to the community like? How does the friendship between them evolve? What issues affect it?
Female Sexuality: How is Black female sexuality depicted in Morrison’s novel? What different models of female sexuality are represented in the text? Who embodies each of those models? How do the characters react to overt expressions of Black female sexuality? What is the connection that the novel establishes between Black female sexuality and Black female agency?
Violence: Almost every character in the novel has some sort of brush with violence. Keep in mind the complexities of the violence to avoid creating a laundry list of violent acts in your paper; simply listing violent occurrences is not analyzing, which is what you want to do. Look at the range of emotions involved in various violent acts or thoughts. What role does violence play in the lives of the inhabitants of Medallion? Are the violent deaths extreme or realistic?
Friendship or Love: In what ways is the love in the novel a salve for the many horrific occurrences? How is the love not enough to appease the characters in light of their extreme suffering? Some scholars go so far as to call Sula a queer text, because of the relationship between Sula and Nell. Explore the friendship and analyze how it functions. When writing about emotional topics, do not neglect the range of emotions involved in the different kinds of love present in the book. Try not to simplify this topic, since it is one that can initially be appealing to write about because it may seem an easy subject to tackle. You can maintain the complexity if you reflect on the less obvious examples of love, and try to discover people’s motivations. Interpreting ironic statements about love might be a place to begin for an essay.
Racism in America: How do some of the characters in the novel experience racism? There are blatant forms of racism in Sula’s world, but Morrison also presents the subtleties and complexities of racism that can be missed with a cursory look at the book. Explore the roles that racism plays in the novel.
Alienation caused by abandonment: Sula’s profound loneliness would make for a compelling essay. What is ironic about her loneliness, given that she is bored so easily by others and refuses to conform, even if she will have no friends? How do the people of Medallion manage to maintain a sense of hope in the face of racism and abandonment by society at large? Answering these questions will lead you to a synthesis of the numerous personal struggles that people have in the novel when feeling abandoned.
Other: Please feel free to select your own topic for your Sula essay. This must be approved before you can begin the assignment.
REQUIREMENTS:
Five to Six pages in length (not including your works cited page)
Your paper must be a complete argumentative essay.
Your essay must contain an identifiable, complex, arguable thesis.
