Produce an ER Model for the following scenario (presented in Step 1 below) and business need, for the Pythagoras Math Academy.  Reference the attached video (Course Project Ph2 Video.mp4), for a full introduction and demonstration and expectations for this project. Deliverables:

  • ER Model for the scenario presented.
  • You have the option to use MS Visio (if you have the software) to produce your ER Model.
  • Alternatively, if you do not have MS Visio, you can use the ERD PLUS (Open source ER Modeling Software) and produce your ER Model.

Required Software:

  • MS Visio by Microsoft OR
  • ERD PLUS, Open Source Offering. This offering is cloud-based, and you do not need to download any clients. You will need to create an account (username and password), link to this offering follows: https://erdplus.com

Lab Steps:Step 1: Read and understand the Scenario and Business needs presented below. Define and document the ENTITIES, and RELATIONSHIPS, required to address the business needs. The nouns in the scenario below will give the ENTITIES that you will need. Finally, the verbs will describe the RELATIONSHIPS.Scenario and Business Need The Pythagoras Math Academy is in need to develop a database to keep track and control of his students, teachers, and classes offered. Teachers are able to teach multiple courses. But they are required to be certified on the course they are teaching. For example, only a group of teachers are certified to teach Algebra, and other Geometry. Students can take multiple courses. Courses are taught by teachers with the proper certification and have multiple certs as needed.  Courses are taught in one of the classrooms at one of the School’s several sites.Each classroom is optimized to serve the needs for a course (for example some courses might require computer labs and whiteboards). The school needs to keep track of the math courses delivered in each of the sites.Step 2: For this project, you are required to use MS Visio or ERD PLUS to produce the deliverables.If you are using MS Visio follow the steps below:

  • Reference the Course Project Ph2 VIDEO.mp4, for a short demonstration and tutorial of this tool, and project overview/ expectations.
  • Open MS Visio
  • Click on the Software Database Template in the main window
  • Select the Database Model Diagram Template to open a new file.
  • Save the File and ensure to have in your file name PROJECT2_LastName_FistInitial.

If you are using ERD PLUS.

  • Watch the recorded short tutorial for this tool. Reference the attached video as follows: Course Project Ph2 VIDEO.mp4.
  • From the ERP PLUS main interface, select DOCUMENTS –> NEW DIAGRAM (NAME YOUR DIAGRAM) –>ER DIAGRAM –> CREATE
  • Reference demonstration video for how to navigate tool, how to create entities, add attributes, relationships, and Cordiality. Demonstration video attached as follows: Course Project Ph2 VIDEO.mp4

Step 3: Define and Database ENTITIES

  • Add an entity for each Table you identified in the Scenario and Business Need.
  • You will use the MS Visio tool, or the ERD PLUS open source offering to complete this step.

Step 4: ADD the required ENTITY ATTRIBUTES

  • Add the required Attributes for each Entity that you feel would help to define each Entity as needed.
  • Select one of the attributes to be PRIMARY KEY (PK)

Step 5: Define RELATIONSHIPS

  • Use the Crow’s Feet Notation.
  • Reference recorded demonstrations on how to use these notations, for MS Visio and ERD PLUS. Reference attached video as follows: Course Project Ph2 VIDEO.mp4
  • Drag and drop (draw) relationships between the entities you defined.
  • Connect the ends to the two entities for each relation.
  • Defined the Primary Key for the parent entity.

Step 6: Define CARDINALITY RELATIONSHIPSet the cardinality for each of your relationships defined in Step 5.  For MS Visio: select a relationship line in the drawing area that is connecting two entities. In the Database Properties window, select the miscellaneous category. Select the cardinality for the selected relationship.Step 7: Upload your Work

  • Save the File and ensure to have in your file name PROJECT2_LastName_FistInitial.

Rubric:

  • 10 points: ER Model (MS Visio OR ERD PLUS)
  • 10 points: Entities: Minimum of Three entities are represented
  • 10 points: Attributes: Minimum of Two attributes for each Entity. Most would require more than two attributes, and I am only requiring two per entity.
  • 10 points: Relationships: Minimum Three relationships are presented.
  • 10 points: Cardinality is defined and specific for each relationship with Crow’s foot notation.

Need an research paper on alexis de tocqueville and his view on the american society. Needs to be 6 pages. Please no plagiarism.

Thomas Jefferson’s declaration, which has guided the path of this nation through two hundred years of unique existence is that we hold the truth to be self-evident, that all men, (and women) are created equal, and endowed by there Creator with certain undeniable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Would today’s culture, and in light of its a determined bias against all things referencing the existence of God, would Mr Jefferson be allowed to make such a revolutionary claim?

In Jefferson’s day, the cost of his actions, and those who agreed with him, was high. Their final personal covenant is represented in the final words of the timeless document which guides this nation. “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”2 The pledge of their lives was not an idle platitude, as the ensuing Revolutionary war was prosecuted at the expense of many of their lives.

The British government pursued these men who had so brazenly declared their own personal freedom, and declared that peasants with pitchforks were equal to the monarch of the most powerful nation on the face of the earth. Their fortunes were seized. Their property was destroyed, homes and plantations burned because they made the audacious assertion that they were ‘equal.’In today’s modern culture, would Mr Jefferson, and those associated with him, have been treated any differently?

To assert that our rights to freedom and equal treatment under the law were based on the belief that these intrinsic properties were fashioned, and given to us by God, the Maker of heaven and earth would place Mr Jefferson outside the acceptance of modern public thought just as he ostracized himself from King George. The signers of this declaration were not just upset about taxation without representation, and that the British crown was housing troops in their homes.

write an article on Accounting Investment Methods. It needs to be at least 500 words.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Accounting Investment Methods. It needs to be at least 500 words.

Companies adopt distinct financial strategies depending on the status of the company (Fischer, Taylor, and Cheng 34). Publicly-listed and private companies have different modes of operations, particularly on the decision-making mechanism. Since its establishment in 1976, Apple Inc. has grown tremendously. Currently, the company has a presence in more than fourteen countries.

Retail stores for Apple products in these countries numbers at 394. The company is publicly listed and is valued at about 414 billion dollars, making it the second biggest corporation in the trade-in terms of market capitalization. Forbes magazine recognized Apple in 2008 as being one of the most admired cooperation in the US. In 2013, the corporation was listed among the best ten corporations of the fortune 500 lists of companies. These recognitions have helped the corporation to increase the sales of its major product, the iPhone.

Apple Inc can invest in securities in order to raise money for their financial obligations. Securities are held by firms and later sold for short-term earnings. The trading securities are normally accounted at the fair market value where gains and losses are reported on the income statements. Such securities are not met by maintaining the gains or losses on the income statement. Further, the counter account on the balance sheet is the stipend for the accustomed short-term savings to the market.

The accounting for ‘available-for-sale securities’ is largely similar to the accounting in the trading securities (Fischer, Taylor, and Cheng 28). Nonetheless, there exists a difference regarding the recognition of the changes in the value. The changes in value for the trading securities are posted on the operating income. The ‘available for sale securities’ are posted in the special account that is regarded as ‘” unrealized gain/loss in other comprehensive income”. This is recorded in the stockholders’ equity.

This ensures that the income statement remains unaffected by any changes in the accounting procedure. Further, the counter account to unrealized gain or loss in other broader income is short-term ‘available-for-sales’ in the fair market alterations. There exist the ‘hold to maturity securities that are bought by a firm and only sold after the maturity period has lapsed. Such securities are posted on the cost account. They are regarded as loss and/or gain after the firm has sold the securities.

Apple Inc can decide to utilize the best investment approach, which will ensure the firm continues with its profitability record while meeting its business objectives. In any successful organization, there needs to be an elaborate system to help in the administration of the operations (Fischer, Taylor, and Cheng 62). The systems need to be strategically controlled and coordinated to facilitate the execution of the best approaches by aligning resources with the strategic goals. The check-and-balances in a successful organization are designed in a way to transform systems firmly along with established inhibitive cultures.

Moreover, these investment tools should be made available and transparent for all stakeholders including clients, employees, and regulators.
