The subject regarding Zeno’s Dichotomy Paradox is a little confusing to me. Although I have read multiple articles about Zeno’s Paradox, it does have a common theme which revolves around mathematics and philosophy; however, when looking at motion, Zeno seems to look at this as fluent and never really defined. Looking at this theory, it seems impossible to reach the end point. In order to do so, you must continue to travel half the distance from point A to point B then continue to travel half the remaining distance and so on. Many of the articles have disproved his Dichotomy Paradox when looking at the physical science aspect but agreed that it was true when looking at mathematical aspect.

One article I found to be very interesting was asking if Zeno’s Dichotomy Paradox can be resolved with Quantum Mechanics. The author of this article provided an alternative perspective which did not disprove Zeno’s Dichotomy Paradox but reasoned it could require an infinite number of actions to move from point A to point B. This author gave an example of having a box of some macroscopic size which it was in the process of moving with constant velocity from point A to point B, the box was made up of atoms. When you focus more in on the leading face of the box, “you can see the motion of this said box is really the motion of a very large number of atoms moving in the same direction making it impossible to determine both a particle’s momentum and position simultaneously.” () Supposedly behind this reason is due to all particles having wavelike characteristics which in the end makes it hard to define.

I do not entirely support Zeno’s Dichotomy Paradox but it is very interesting to see how his theory could possible be true. If you would like to view this article, I will have it cited below. The author of this article gave two different ideas how Zeno’s Paradox could be resolved.

The ancient Greek philosopher Zeno has a few different paradoxes. In our forum it appears that we are talking about the dichotomy paradox. It is the idea that there are an infinite number of halves between you and your destination. If you are to reach your destination you must first reach half way then there is another half and another half, so on and so forth. I do not agree. First off I feel that the data provided for the paradox contradicts itself. If you have point A which is a start point or a beginning, then how can you say that you have infinite halves of tasks before you even reach A. Saying that you have a point A implies that there is nothing before it because what comes before A? So if we have a beginning which is A and an end which is B then we have a distance or a measurement between the points. Now that we have a distance between two fixed locations in time you could measure at what speed you or the object is moving and how long it takes you to get from point A to point B. Yes you will have to cross X number of halves before you reach B but to say that you would never reach B would imply that location B is continuously moving away from A. So if you have either infinite times or you had a beginning and an end something would still have to be moving and how can we say that there is no motion?

Resources: Financial Accounting: Tools for Business Decision Making, Ch. 11

Answer the following questions in 1,050 words using the Lachlin Corporation Balance Sheet located on p. 575 of Financial Accounting:

• How many shares of common stock are outstanding?
• Assuming there is a stated value, what is the stated value of the common stock?
• What is the par value of the preferred stock?
• If the annual dividend on preferred stock is $36,000, what is the dividend rate on preferred stock?
• If dividends of $72,000 were in arrears on preferred stock, what would be the balance reported for retained earnings?

Use the Week 4 Excel^® spreadsheet and submit with your answers.

In Chapters 3 and 4 of your primary text, Farrar and Montgomery discuss executive functioning and memory development (2015), and the factors that influence brain development. For this assignment, you will build upon that knowledge by further investigating how the brain learns. Remember that working memory, attention, and executive functions are interconnected and are crucial to the learning process. This includes the ability for a child to pay attention, demonstrate inhibitory control, and goal-directed behavior. Children may possess varying degrees of each of these functions, but they work together to create cognitive control and flexibility. For this assignment, you will assume the role of a professional development coordinator for your state’s early childhood programs and develop a flyer titled “How the Brain Learns” that informs families about the role of working memory, attention, and executive function in learning and development. You may develop your flyer using Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher. Before completing this assignment, review the Week Two Instructor Guidance for additional information, resources, and support. Additionally, review the Grading Rubric for this assignment to understand how you will be evaluated and contact your instructor using the “Ask Your Instructor” discussion before the due date with questions.

In your “How the Brain Learns” flyer, include separate sections that address each of the following:

• Key Words (1 point): Define working memory, attention, and executive functions.
• Relationship Among Executive Functions (1 point): Using examples, discuss the relationship among the three core executive functions (i.e., working memory, inhibitory control, and set-shifting).
• Development of Executive Functions (2 points): Using examples, discuss how the three core executive functions develop from infancy through age 8.
• Executive Functions and Role (2 points): Examine the role the three core executive functions play in learning and development. For each of the functions, provide a specific example to support your examination.
• Neural Regions and Executive Functions (2 points): Explain at least two ways the prefrontal and ventral striatum neural regions are associated with executive functions in emotional situations.
• Delayed Gratification (1 point): Using examples, discuss at least two different factors that influence young children’s willingness to delay gratification.
• Environmental Influences (1point): Using examples, explain at least three environmental influences that impact executive functioning and memory.
• Training of Executive Functions (1 point): Discuss at least two specific ways to help executive functions in children in the classroom.
• Flyer Design (1 point): Incorporates at least three images or graphics that are related to the content of the flyer.
• Flyer Length (.5 points): Your flyer must be at least 2 pages in length.
• Title Page (.25 points): Inclusion of a separate title page with the following:
  • Title of presentation
  • Student’s name
  • Course name and number
  • Instructor’s name
  • Date submitted
• Source Requirement (0.5 Points): Reference two scholarly sources in addition to the text. All sources included in the References list must be cited in the content of the flyer.
• APA Formatting (0.25 Points): Use APA formatting consistently throughout the assignment, which includes citations in the body of the assignment, the title page, and references list.
• Syntax and Mechanics (0.25 Points): Display meticulous comprehension and organization of syntax and mechanics, such as spelling and grammar.

Proofread work and only address the items listed in the instructions.

On an automated teller machine (ATM), the customer is identified by inserting a plastic ATM card with a magnetic stripe or a plastic smart card with a chip that contains a unique card number and some security information such as an expiration date or card verification value code (CVVC). When using an ATM on networked banks, customers can access their personal or business bank accounts in order to make cash withdrawals and check their account balances. For this assignment, consider cash withdrawal transactions from your favorite ATM machine.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. Delimit the ATM problem by creating a problem diagram using Visio or an equivalent such as Dia. The diagram must show system components that are relevant to the problem of withdrawing cash. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
2. Write one (1) paragraph that describes the use and meaning of the problem diagram components.
3. Create two (2) Structured Analysis and Design Technique (SADT) diagrams to document the activities and data involved in the transactions stated above using Visio or an equivalent such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
4. Write one (1) paragraph that describes the use and meaning of the SADT diagram components.
5. Provide three (3) possible scenarios of interaction between you and the ATM through a few message sequence charts.
6. Create one (1) UML diagram for each scenario, from Question 5, to show the interactions. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
7. Create one (1) state machine diagram for the ATM that covers the scenarios you have identified in Question 5 using Visio or an equivalent such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
8. Write one (1) paragraph that describes the use and meaning of the state machine diagram components.
9. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
