Paul is a custom furniture maker who has operated Woodcraft Studio for the past 20 years. Paul advertises himself as a specialist in handcrafted oak tables, primarily for upscale restaurants and boutique hotels. He has contracts with several local businesses, including a five-year written agreement with Lena, who owns a chain of luxury hotels. The contract states that Paul will supply Lena with as many oak tables as she needs, and if he fails to deliver on time, he will owe Lena $500,000, representing her estimated lost profits from not being able to furnish rooms. Over the past three years, Paul has delivered between 3,000 and 15,000 tables annually to Lena. Although two years remain on the contract, Lena recently informed Paul that she can no longer continue purchasing tables due to severe budget constraints. Last month, David emailed Paul an order for “1,000 natural wood pieces” to decorate a new restaurant, without specifying a price or type of wood. David assumed Paul would send oak, his specialty, but Paul instead sent maple—the only “natural wood” available at the time. When David received the maple pieces, he was surprised but had no time to request alternatives due to the restaurant’s grand opening. He used the maple pieces and gave the restaurant owner a 50% discount off the agreed price. When Paul later invoiced David $1,000 per piece, double the usual oak price, David refused to pay anything. What contract remedies, if any, does Paul have against Lena? Discuss. What contract remedies, if any, does Paul have against David? Discuss.

Jordan lives with his elderly mother, Martha, who is 85 and mostly bedridden. Over the years, Martha has relied entirely on Jordan for food, medicine, and basic hygiene. Jordan, frustrated with being a caregiver and under financial pressure, begins to emotionally detach. One week, Jordan decides to stop helping Martha altogether, thinking “if nature takes its course, so be it.” Jordan does not feed Martha, ignores her pleas for water, and stops giving her vital heart medication. Martha grows weaker by the day. Jordan occasionally checks on her but takes no steps to aid her. After five days, Martha dies from a combination of dehydration and heart failure that could have been prevented with basic care. Meanwhile, Jordan’s friend, Alex, comes over during this time. He notices Martha lying on the floor, moaning. Jordan tells Alex, “She’s just being dramatic. She does this all the time.” Alex shrugs and walks past her. He kicks a blanket toward her with his foot and accidentally hits her face. Martha winces. Alex responds, “You’ll live,” and walks away. Later, it’s determined that Alex’s kick bruised Martha’s face but had no connection to her death. After Martha’s death, Jordan panics and calls another friend, Casey, who is a law student. Jordan tells Casey everything that happened. Casey rushes over, sees the condition of the apartment and Martha’s body, and says, “You’re in deep trouble — but maybe we can make it look like an accident.” Casey helps Jordan clean the apartment, removes all evidence of the medication bottles, and edits the call history on Jordan’s phone to delete any texts or voicemails from Martha asking for help. Casey also wipes the computer clean of any search history that could imply intent (e.g., “what happens if you don’t take heart medicine?”). When the police arrive the next morning, they find the scene cleaned, and Jordan claims Martha simply died in her sleep. Casey tells officers, “Martha was already dead when I arrived — I just came to support my friend.” Discuss all possible crimes for the following defendants: Jordan, Alex, and Casey.

Paxton was excited when he saw the listing in Zillow for land for sale with a large sprawling ranch at the edge of Falcon, Colorado.  He immediately told his realtor he wanted to put a bid to purchase the land where Dylan’s Dude Ranch was located as soon as possible since he needed more space for the racehorse business he was developing, even though he currently only had two racehorses.  After his realtor arranged a meeting, Paxton and Dylan met at the ranch and went over the terms of an agreement.  The purchase price of the land was $330,000 (150 acres x $2,200 per acre).  When Dylan mentioned that he had many prospective buyers wanting to purchase the land, and that he currently had a shortage of trail guides to lead trail rides, Paxton suggested including a provision in the agreement stating that he would be a trail guide for a month before the closing.  Dylan initially laughed out loud at the idea and stubbornly said Paxton had no idea how to handle his trail horses.  However, Dylan and Paxton spent hours drinking coffee and discussing the terms of the agreement in great detail.  Paxton finally handed Dylan $300 in cash (which he accepted) and they signed the agreement which covered the purchase of the land and Paxton’s services as trail guide.  The agreement stated that Dylan would pay Paxton $1,500 per week for four weeks to be a trail guide every weekday with the expectation that Dylan would pay for new saddles (to be reimbursed by Dylan) for the 10 horses used for the trail ride.  In exchange, Paxton agreed to language in the providing that any breaching party would have to pay $100,000 to the non-breaching party within one week, and there could be only one lawsuit for any breach of the agreement.  Paxton secretly thought to himself that he would provide the trail riders with his business cards to promote his new racehorse business, and he could explore the new land. In anticipation of being a trail guide, Paxton went to Tractor Supply and purchased 10 new Western Trail saddles at a cost of $300 each.  He also purchased 10 horse halters at $50 each, and one cowboy braided lead rope for $15.  When he arrived at Dylan’s Dude Ranch bright and early at 8:30 a.m. Monday morning to prepare for his first day as a trail guide, he was surprised to see a female saddling up the 10 horses instead.  When he asked her what was going on, she said that Dylan was not home at the time and that she was Dylan’s sister who had always led the trail rides at Dylan’s Dude Ranch for 15 years.  She laughed and denied knowing about any sort of agreement between Paxton and Dylan.  Paxton’s phone rang right at that moment, and his realtor explained that Dylan had cancelled the agreement to purchase the land, stating he’d received a better offer. Discuss the causes of action that Paxton has against Dylan. Discuss the relief that Paxton can seek against Dylan, including total damages. Discuss any defenses that either party may have against the other party.

You are creating a Grid Only abdominal technique chart. You will apply the grid ratio to the mAs for this chart. You have selected a sample patient that has an abdominal measurement of 4 cm. Based on your machine’s mA settings and your patient’s weight, you chose your top three mAs settings and created three test radiographs. You selected the radiograph produced using 100 mA at 1/40 seconds = 2.5 mAs. Your machine has a grid ratio of 5:1.  Given this information, calculate your kVp and mAs for a patient measuring 4 cm. You are NOT required to show your work to receive full credit.   Grid ratio table for mAs variable technique chart: Grid Ratio mAs 5:1 grid x2 6:1 grid x2 -3 8:1 grid x3-4 12:1 grid x4-5 16:1 grid x5-6 Grid ratio table for kVp variable technique chart.

KIN 6065 – Tactical Strength & Conditioning  Effective conditioning protocols are specific to the nature of sport and or tactical environment as well as the individual.  These concepts are paramount as scientists, coaches and athletes continue to identify and specify auxiliary elements necessary to optimize sport/tactical performance and mitigate injury.  Exercise prescription for sport conditioning must therefore be a meticulous, systematic process that accounts for various components of program development. Your comprehensive exam questions center around a hypothetical physical-conditioning plan that incorporates the foremost variables of athletic preparation.  Pick a novel Sport or Tactical Occupation (one that you have not discussed previously) and explain the components of the following.  Make sure to include how they would guide your practice for that given population.  Make sure to include a divided collection of scientific articles and practical applications that serve to rationalize your answer.   Please explain the concept of “Periodization” and choose the most appropriate model for your population. Provide a discussion of why this model was chosen.  The explanation needs to be evidence-based Why, and or is, this model sensitive to seasonal constraints? A thorough explanation of the components of the model also needs to be included
