The ABC school budget preparation for the fiscal year 2020-2021 began after the final budget for the year 2019-2020 was adopted. The school predicted budget for the year 2020-2021 is $ 110,218 exclusive of transfers between funds. The single largest item in the school district fund is salary at 31% of the general funds (Anon, 2020). Salary is the amount paid to employees in part-time, full-time and substitute positions. The items that have created a huge problem in the budget are services for students with disability. Since the year 2011, the federal government greatly reduced the funds allocated to Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA).

For instance, in the fiscal year 2019-2020, the school used around $9, 000 of the general funds to pay for services which were previously funded by IDEA $ 10, 000 is budgeted for…

Nevertheless, the practice of the power of lynching localities could result in a bloodless revolution. Question 2 The anti-lynching crusaders made the lynching of the black women part of the discussion of the dryer bill because they wanted to show the critical race feminism.

Peer Response/AW Being an individual who has always set eyes on leadership, I have been inspired by the step taken by AW towards attaining DSL. I have done a lot of background checks on the program, and I think that will be my next step too. As pointed out, indeed, the DSL course can be helpful in day-to-day life activities, and the phrase “when you fail to plan, you plan to fail” is much more applicable in the program. Through my background check, I have learned that the DSL program can enhance one’s leadership career through increasing abilities to develop practical management solutions for their business operations. That makes DSL applicable in applied research project since it entails the analysis used to find solutions to everyday problems, undertaken to acquire novel knowledge as noted by AW (De Mello & Pedroso, 2018). I am also happy for the continued reference of bible quotes used. It shows the appreciation that leadership roots can be traced to biblical times.

Corporation and LLC The advantages of a corporation include the following; Corporations offer business owners personal liability protection, business security, and perpetuity, access to capital, and, in some cases, and tax benefits as explained below: A corporation provides more personal asset liability protection to its owners than any other entity type (Mancuso, 2019). Corporation ownership is based on the percentage of stock ownership, which offers much more flexibility than other entity types to transfer ownership and perpetuate the business for the long term.

Discussion for Changelle Upon reading the article, I found myself agreeing with the information the author is putting across. Indeed advancements in technological applications such as mobile phones have been found useful across different perspectives of our lives. The education sector is one area that has embraced those advancements, and there is no time that people have considered the technologies more helpful in the sector than amid this coronavirus pandemic when social distancing has been considered necessary. I like the fact that the authors have emphasized both the negative and positive sides of the technology. On a positive note, the technology makes communication faster and easier, thereby facilitating the efficient flow of ideas among learners. Consequently, learners’ achievement is enhanced (Mellati & Khademi, 2019). It also facilitates open-style discussions in learning contexts, enabling the instructors to profoundly understand their learners and develop a positive environment and a sense of belonging. On a negative note, technology-based instruction can take most of the students’ study time and may lead to low attentiveness during learning sessions. At the same time, social networking devices…

The poem directly addresses death, presenting an argument that death is powerless simply because it acts as a mere short sleep and a gateway between the earth and eternal afterlife. Therefore due to its powerless nature, people should not fear it but take as something that takes us home. Figurative speech in this poem is used to bring clarity, richness, and uniqueness to the author’s entire text. The author has used various literary devices to allow his readers to make a better and clear interpretation of the poem. There are four major figurative languages used in the poem.  The four figurative language includes personification, metaphor, allusion, and paradox. Personification has been used to bring an attribute of human to non-living things. The authors have successfully personified death throughout the poem (Marno &David). For instance, he says that death should not be proud of. Pride is a character associated with the…
