SLPs, Stacy’s mail-order, gluten-free blueberry muffin business has continued to grow

By

 Suppose that thanks in part to your excellent advice in the Module 1 and 2 SLPs, Stacy’s mail-order, gluten-free blueberry muffin business has continued to grow. As the business has continued to grow, however, Woody’s organic blueberry farm has found it difficult to supply Stacy’s needs. This is good news, but also brings up a variety of legal issues now that additional labor and funds may be necessary to secure a wider supply of organic blueberries. Stacy has again asked for your advice.

Using references from the background materials, write a 2- to 3-page paper discussing the following legal issues involved in the effort to increase the supply of blueberries for Stacy’s business. Cite at least one source from the required background materials for each of your answers.

1.       In the area where Stacy lives, there are several so-called “U-Pick” organic blueberry farms. These are farms that permit the customer to pick their own blueberries and pay by weight when they’ve picked as many as they want. One idea that Stacy has for securing more organic blueberries is to hire employees to drive to these “U-Pick” farms and pick the most succulent blueberries for her. Stacy thinks this would be a good idea, but she also wants to consider purchasing blueberries directly from another local farmer besides Woody, even though these blueberries probably will be a little more expensive than the “U-Pick” blueberries and not quite as fresh. From an employment law perspective, which approach would be preferable?

2.       Stacy also wants to get a small loan to finance the purchase of a large batch of blueberries from Woody (for potential freezing) and hire one or two more employees for the bakery. Stacy visits several banks, but the loan officers all laugh and say there is no way a bank will give a loan to start-up, mail-order, gluten-free organic blueberry muffin business, at least not right now. Stacy has developed detailed financial statements showing that her company has very good financial prospects, but still no bank will lend to her. You personally do not want to lend her your own money, because you just don’t have it to spare right now. What could Stacy do to persuade the bank to lend the money?

1.Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Replace hardcoded strings “Zero”, “One”, “Two”, “Three” in the ArrayList based on user typed input (use Scanner or JOptionPane classes). The user will be prompted for the String to be stored in the ArrayList and then hit enter. The user will be able to continue to add items to the ArrayList until they just hit enter without typing anything. Once the user does this (hits enter without typing anything), the program will display all of the elements of the ArrayList, both the index and String values, in a table. It will do this via a single loop making use of an iterator method. 2. Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Use a Try/Catch block so that the exception is caught and the program exits a bit more gracefully. Save this file as TryCatch.java. (Be sure to rename the Public Class accordingly.) Starting with the provided code again (without the Try/Catch block), fix the code so that

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND THE EARLY REPUBLIC

By
Assignment Overview The American Revolution and Independence As we saw in the Module Overview, there were numerous factors that ultimately led to revolution and independence. In this second Case assignment, you’ll be researching and writing about some of those factors. Case Assignment Write a 3 to 4-page essay identifying at least FOUR factors which led to colonial independence. In your paper, explain which events triggered discord between the colonies and the Mother Country. Be sure to do some research on your own and use other resources to analyze the thought-processes which sparked independent thinking. The best way to approach and organize the paper would be to create a title for each event and then discuss your findings. For example; for the first one you could write, “Event 1, The Seven Years War”. This would be followed by your narrative on how this war led to independence. The rest of the paper would follow this pattern. Assignment Expectations Use concepts from the background
