PPT Presentation to Lender?
Analyze the pro forma statements and analysis created in the previous module (see Pro Forma Budget in attachment) and create a detailed PowerPoint presentation with speaker's notes to demonstrate why the bank should give your company a loan. The amount requested and loan terms should be financially manageable and you need to justify the amount requested in your presentation. Your presentation should include:A clear explanation of how much money is being requested from the lender and how the money will be used to expand the business.General explanation of the business; who are the customers, where is it located, how long has it been in existence, etc.An overview of the 12 Month Pro Forma Budgeted Income Statement created in the previous module with ratios.An analysis of the year end income statement that includes key financial ratios.An overview of the financial strengths and weaknesses of the company and an explanation of how those elements will be leveraged and minimized to ensure that the loan will be a good solid investment and financially manageable. Make sure to use financial ratios to support your argument and help sell this idea to the lender.Finally, keep in mind that the audience of this presentation will be the lender and that the goal of this presentation is to sell the Cloud Ware company as a good investment to the potential lender.Save your assignment as a Microsoft PowerPoint document.

GEN ED quiz help please
Question 1.1. <11{1[2(06)06]}> Reporter: A new campaign finance reform bill being considered by Congress would limit the amount of campaign contributions that political candidates can receive. However, a survey of candidates running for mayor, governor, and senate seats shows that not one of them favors the bill. Clearly, there is no desire among politicians to limit campaign contributions. Which one of the following points out the flaw in the reporter’s argument above? (Points : 1) The reporter doesn’t indicate the amount that the new bill would limit campaign contributions. The evidence provided by the reporter suggests that most politicians are in favor of the new bill. The reporter wrongly assumes that no politician has ever supported a bill intended to limit campaign contributions. The views of candidates currently running for office do not necessarily represent the views of all politicians.Question 2.2. <11{1[3(02)02]}> Catherine goes to her local movie theater only to see romantic comedies. Since Catherine did not go to the movies yesterday, there is not a romantic comedy playing at her local theater. The reasoning above is flawed because the evidence: (Points : 1) does not suggest that Catherine goes to see every romantic comedy that plays at her local movie theater. implies that Catherine is uninterested in most types of movies. does not indicate whether Catherine watches only romantic comedies at home. suggests that Catherine’s local movie theater hardly ever shows romantic comedies.Question 3.3. <11{1[4(17)17]}> Mrs. Orlof teaches two history classes, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Yesterday she gave the same test to both classes. Anyone who failed the test must take a retest. Since a greater percentage of students who took the morning test failed the test than students who took the afternoon test, more of Orlof’s morning history students than afternoon history students will have to take the retest. The conclusion above is not necessarily valid because: (Points : 1) more students in the morning class may have passed the test than failed the test. some students may have been absent from both classes. some of the students who passed the afternoon test may have received information about the test from morning students. more students may have taken the test in the afternoon than in the morning.Question 4.4. <21{1[2(24)24]}> The average height of members of the high school basketball team is six feet, three inches. Jerry is on the high school basketball team, so Jerry must be taller than six feet.The argument above is flawed because it confuses (Points : 1) Jerry with other members of the team the members of one team with the members of another team people who are six feet three inches tall for people who are exactly six feet tall an average for the individuals that make up that average. Question 5.5. <21{1[1(01)01]}> Since Jessica’s participation in local politics increased significantly after she joined her school’s political science club, it is clear that her involvement in that club led her to take an interest in politics. The argument above is flawed because: (Points : 1) it doesn’t say which political issues Jessica is interested in. it states that the only purpose of the political science club is to spark an interest in politics. it misuses the word “significantly.” it’s possible that an interest in politics caused Jessica to join the political science club.Question 6.6. <11{1[4(23)23]}> People have claimed that Jamie’s paintings have given them the blues. Clearly this cannot be entirely correct, since many of Jamie’s paintings contain no blue at all. The argument above is flawed because the author: (Points : 1) provides no evidence. misinterprets a key term. relies on contradictory facts. is not a noted painting expert.Question 7.7. <11{2[3(11)35]}> Some politicians claim to support the environment in speeches they make around the country. However, to get to those speeches they ride in gas guzzling, pollution creating private planes. They therefore clearly don’t believe a word of what they say and are actually making the environmental problem worse. Which one of the following, if true, would best weaken the argument above? (Points : 1) Some of the politicians try to hide the fact that they travel by private plane to their speeches around the country. Most people who hear the politicians’ speeches on the environment are unconvinced by their arguments. A majority of voters surveyed agree that politicians sometimes make society’s problems worse. Improvements to the environment brought about through the politicians’ public support of environmental regulations more than offset the damage done to the environment by the politicians’ private planes.Question 8.8. <21{2[1(01)25]}> The untimely death of Professor Hathaway halted his groundbreaking research into the uses of solar power. It therefore appears that Hathaway’s research will not result in practical applications.Which one of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument? (Points : 1) Professor Hathaway’s research can be used by other scientists to create useful applications. Not all professors at Professor Hathaway’s university knew that he was conducting research into the uses of solar power. Officials at Professor Hathaway’s university have refused requests to make Professor Hathaway’s research public. Researchers at other universities are conducting research into the potential applications of solar power.Question 9.9. <11{2[3(02)26]}> Aron: The two double A batteries in my CD player are dead, so the CD player doesn’t work. My television remote control, which also uses two double A batteries, works fine. So if I move the two batteries from my television remote control to my CD player, the CD player will definitely work. Aron’s argument is most strengthened if which one of the following is true? (Points : 1) Aron inserted the current batteries in his television remote control two months before he inserted the current batteries in his CD player. The amount of energy required to power the CD player is not greater than the amount of energy needed to power the television remote control. Aron has used his television remote control more times than he has used his CD player since inserting the current batteries into each device. Double A batteries provide less energy than either C batteries or D batteries.Question 10.10. <11{3[1(07)43]}> As part of its reorganization, company X created five new positions within the company. However, after the reorganization was complete, company X had fewer employees than before the reorganization. Which one of the following, if true, would best explain the result described above? (Points : 1) Some employees of the company were switched into new departments to fill the new positions. Some employees who quit over dissatisfaction with the reorganization were immediately replaced by new hires. The new positions were created to respond to a greater demand for company X’s products. Some employees were laid off as a number of old positions were eliminated in the reorganization.Question 11.11. <21{3[2(08)44]}> Surveys show that people who use calorie information to decide which foods to eat consume on average 100 calories less than they would if they didn’t check calorie information before eating. Strangely though, people who use calorie information in this way weigh more on average than people who don’t check calorie information before eating. Which one of the following, if true, best explains the surprising statistic stated above? (Points : 1) There are fewer people who check calorie information before eating than people who don’t check calorie information before eating. People who usually check calorie information before eating consume more calories if they stop checking. Some people who check calorie information before eating don’t consume any fewer calories than they would if they didn’t check. People with a weight problem are most likely to check calorie information before eating.Question 12.12. <11{4[2(06)50]}> Choose the pair of words/phrases among the choices that exhibits the same logical relationship as the words/phrases in the following pair. gavel : judge (Points : 1) baton : conductor symphony : composer stop sign : driver ruler : mathQuestion 13.13. <21{4[3(02)46]}> Choose the pair of words/phrases among the choices that exhibits the same logical relationship as the words/phrases in the following pair. conductor : orchestra (Points : 1) skater : rink teacher : principal producer : movie director : castQuestion 14.14. <21{4[1(10)54]}> Choose the pair of words/phrases among the choices that exhibits the same logical relationship as the words/phrases in the following pair. heavy : weight (Points : 1) dry : wet feather : scale hot : temperature color : sizeQuestion 15.15. <21{5[1(03)59]}> Barney: Last winter, I slipped on the outside stairs of PineTree Café and broke my leg. My fall was caused by ice on the stairs that the restaurant failed to remove. Since the restaurant clearly did not provide a safe atmosphere for its customers, I am justified in taking it to court. Lydia: Unwarranted lawsuits are sweeping the country—lawsuits that have no legal merit and are brought simply to make lawyers and their clients rich. If this trend continues, soon our legal system will be swamped to the point where it won’t be able to administer justice to people who truly deserve it. You therefore should drop your case against PineTree Café. The speakers above appear to disagree on which one of the following points? (Points : 1) Barney is likely to win his case against Pinetree Café. Barney’s lawsuit against Pinetree Café is unwarranted. Many unwarranted lawsuits are sweeping the country. The legal system will soon be unable to administer justice to people who deserve it.Question 16.16. <11{5[1(01)57]}> Arthur: The solutions to most mystery novels I read are not believable. However, my enjoyment of a mystery novel depends only on its suspenseful mood and colorful characters. Norton: Roughly 80% of the mystery novels I read have believable solutions, which is good since I do not enjoy mystery novels that don’t have believable solutions. The speakers above: (Points : 1) agree that most mystery novels do not have believable solutions. agree that a suspenseful mood and colorful characters add to the enjoyment of a mystery novel. disagree on whether a believable solution is required for the enjoyment of a mystery novel. disagree on whether an author’s enjoyment in creating a mystery novel influences whether that novel will have a believable solution.Question 17.17. <21{6[3(08)72]}> Some drugs combat obesity or alcohol addiction by turning off pleasure centers in the brain. However, if the dosage is too high, there’s a risk that people taking them will be plunged into depression. The statements above, if true, support which one of the following assertions? (Points : 1) It is useless to try to treat obesity or alcohol addiction through drugs. All drugs, if taken at too high a dosage, pose the risk that the people taking them will be plunged into depression. The benefits of a medication may be at least somewhat offset by its side effects. Drugs that affect pleasure centers in the brain are often taken at dosages considered to be too high.Question 18.18. <7{6[3(02)66]}> In a survey of 10 film historians, half voted for Nosferatu as the greatest vampire film ever made, and the other half voted for Dracula. However, when asked which lead vampire character they considered more charismatic, all of the film critics chose Dracula over Nosferatu. Based on the information above, it must be true that for some film critics, their feelings about the charisma of the lead character: (Points : 1) is the least important factor they consider when comparing two films. is the most important factor they consider when comparing two films. is not the most important factor they consider when comparing two films. is the only factor they consider when comparing two films.Question 19.19. <11{6[2(03)67]}> Only circus animals with a clean bill of health will perform in today’s exhibition. A monkey, a poodle, and a horse will perform in today’s exhibition. No circus animals with a clean bill of health were prescribed medications this week. If the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true on the basis of them? (Points : 1) The monkey, poodle, and horse are the only animals performing in today’s circus exhibition. No circus animals were prescribed medications this week. No more than two circus animals have a clean bill of health. Neither the monkey nor the horse performing in today’s circus exhibition were prescribed medications this week.Question 20.20. <11{7[1(01)77]}> Detective: The robbery at the mall was carried out by a mall employee acting alone roughly one hour after the mall closed last Saturday night. The only employees present at the mall at the time of the robbery were security guards Evans and Clark. Since the mall’s surveillance system was disabled by the thief just before the robbery, the thief must be Evans.The argument above would be valid if: (Points : 1) Clark is incapable of disabling the mall’s surveillance system. both Evans and Clark are capable of disabling the mall’s surveillance system. Evans and Clark are the mall’s only security guards. the mall’s surveillance system is usually used 24 hours a day, seven days a week.Question 21.21. <11{7[2(03)79]}> Looking to increase the profits of his lemonade stand, Johann doubled the price of a cup of lemonade from 25 cents to 50 cents. This clearly shows Johann’s lack of business sense, for now he’ll almost certainly sell fewer cups at the new price and therefore make less money than before. The argument above assumes that: (Points : 1) Johann is looking to double the profits of his lemonade stand. the price increase will likely put Johann out of business. profits from the price increase will not offset the money lost when fewer cups are sold. even if Johann sells more cups at the new price than he did at the old price, he’ll still lose money on the lemonade stand.Question 22.22. <11{7[3(08)84]}> The president spoke to 19 congressmen from Texas to encourage them to vote for a bill. Since four of the 19 congressmen went on to vote for the bill, it is clear that the president persuaded those four to vote the way they did.The argument above assumes that: (Points : 1) the bill will not pass because a majority of Texas congressmen did not vote for it. the Texas congressmen who voted against the bill were persuaded by someone other than the president to vote the way they did. the president did not try to influence the votes of any congressmen outside of Texas. the four Texas congressmen who voted for the bill were against it before they spoke to the president.Question 23.23. <21{8[1(07)95]}> Political science professor: Many people insist that the Internet is revolutionizing the political process. They argue that Internet debates and online political polls and chat rooms give people greater access to political information. And they’re right that online political chatter increases daily. But offering or reading anonymous online opinions does not by itself make for active political participation. In the past one would attend a rally, protest, or town meeting to engage in real politics. Today, people sit passively in front of computer screens under the illusion that they are connecting with their fellow citizens. Which one of the following best expresses the main idea of the professor’s argument? (Points : 1) Internet debates and online political polls and chat rooms give people greater access to political information. Political organizations of the past bear no resemblance to the political organizations of today. While the Internet has made more political content available, meaningful political involvement has decreased. The Internet has revolutionized the political process because it has allowed many more political viewpoints to be expressed.Question 24.24. <11{8[1(10)98]}> Sometimes people get caught in a “downward spiral,” a case in which something leads to a result which in turn leads to more of the original thing, bringing on more of the result. As the process continues, the result continually gets worse and worse. An example is when people turn to binge eating when depressed, which causes them to put on weight and feel unhealthy, which then makes them more depressed, leading to more overeating, and so on. The author is mainly concerned with: (Points : 1) convincing people not to overeat. explaining the process of the “downward spiral.” showing how overeating can lead to depression. showing how some processes lead to surprising results.Question 25.25. <11{8[1(04)92]}> The very large increase in allergies over the last thirty years is due to the great success of immunizations administered over this time period. Since immunizations have nearly eliminated life-threatening diseases such as polio, the human immune system increasingly targets other environmental substances in order to keep working properly. Allergy symptoms such as runny nose and itchy eyes result when the immune system attacks pollen that is breathed in from the air.Which one of the following best expresses the main point of the passage above? (Points : 1) Immunizations often have surprising side effects. Immunizations have been very successful in eliminating life-threatening diseases. Viruses that once caused polio now cause allergies. The use of immunizations has led to an increase in allergies.

juvenile justice system
The mission of the juvenile justice system has always been based on treatment and rehabilitation. However, there are instances where we have serious and even violent juveniles who many feel are not good candidates for such a system and, thus, should be handled by the adult court system.Bearing that in mind, in an 8- to 10-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, answer the following questions:What is the purpose of the adult court waiver?Specifically, what does it mean for juveniles, as far as their legal rights are concerned, once they have been waived to the adult court system?Is the adult court waiver only used for violent and serious juvenile offenders?Has the use of the adult court waiver become more common in recent years?What are the penalties that juveniles can face once they are waived to the adult system?Are there any penalties that juveniles cannot face once they are waived to the adult system?In your presentation, list and describe at least two benefits and two drawbacks of the adult court waiver. Make sure to support your assertions with research.Submission Details:Support your responses with examples.Cite any sources in APA format.

Yesterday she gave the same test to both classes. Anyone who failed the test must take a retest. Since a greater percentage of students who took the morning test failed the test than students who took the afternoon test, more of Orlof’s morning history students than afternoon history students will have to take the retest. The conclusion above is not necessarily valid because: (Points : 1) more students in the morning class may have passed the test than failed the test. some students may have been absent from both classes. some of the students who passed the afternoon test may have received information about the test from morning students. more students may have taken the test in the afternoon than in the morning.Question 4.4. <21{1[2(24)24]}> The average height of members of the high school basketball team is six feet, three inches. Jerry is on the high school basketball team, so Jerry must be taller than six feet.The argument above is flawed because it confuses (Points : 1) Jerry with other members of the team the members of one team with the members of another team people who are six feet three inches tall for people who are exactly six feet tall an average for the individuals that make up that average. Question 5.5. <21{1[1(01)01]}> Since Jessica’s participation in local politics increased significantly after she joined her school’s political science club, it is clear that her involvement in that club led her to take an interest in politics.

However, to get to those speeches they ride in gas guzzling, pollution creating private planes. They therefore clearly don’t believe a word of what they say and are actually making the environmental problem worse. Which one of the following, if true, would best weaken the argument above?

My television remote control, which also uses two double A batteries, works fine. So if I move the two batteries from my television remote control to my CD player, the CD player will definitely work. Aron’s argument is most strengthened if which one of the following is true? (Points : 1) Aron inserted the current batteries in his television remote control two months before he inserted the current batteries in his CD player. The amount of energy required to power the CD player is not greater than the amount of energy needed to power the television remote control. Aron has used his television remote control more times than he has used his CD player since inserting the current batteries into each device. Double A batteries provide less energy than either C batteries or D batteries.Question 10.10. <11{3[1(07)43]}> As part of its reorganization, company X created five new positions within the company. However, after the reorganization was complete, company X had fewer employees than before the reorganization. Which one of the following, if true, would best explain the result described above? (Points : 1) Some employees of the company were switched into new departments to fill the new positions. Some employees who quit over dissatisfaction with the reorganization were immediately replaced by new hires. The new positions were created to respond to a greater demand for company X’s products. Some employees were laid off as a number of old positions were eliminated in the reorganization.Question 11.11. <21{3[2(08)44]}> Surveys show that people who use calorie information to decide which foods to eat consume on average 100 calories less than they would if they didn’t check calorie information before eating. Strangely though, people who use calorie information in this way weigh more on average than people who don’t check calorie information before eating. Which one of the following, if true, best explains the surprising statistic stated above? (Points : 1) There are fewer people who check calorie information before eating than people who don’t check calorie information before eating. People who usually check calorie information before eating consume more calories if they stop checking. Some people who check calorie information before eating don’t consume any fewer calories than they would if they didn’t check. People with a weight problem are most likely to check calorie information before eating.Question 12.12. <11{4[2(06)50]}> Choose the pair of words/phrases among the choices that exhibits the same logical relationship as the words/phrases in the following pair. gavel : judge (Points : 1) baton : conductor symphony : composer stop sign : driver ruler : mathQuestion 13.13. <21{4[3(02)46]}> Choose the pair of words/phrases among the choices that exhibits the same logical relationship as the words/phrases in the following pair. conductor : orchestra (Points : 1) skater : rink teacher : principal producer : movie director : castQuestion 14.14. <21{4[1(10)54]}> Choose the pair of words/phrases among the choices that exhibits the same logical relationship as the words/phrases in the following pair. heavy : weight (Points : 1) dry : wet feather : scale hot : temperature color : sizeQuestion 15.15. <21{5[1(03)59]}> Barney: Last winter, I slipped on the outside stairs of PineTree Café and broke my leg. My fall was caused by ice on the stairs that the restaurant failed to remove. Since the restaurant clearly did not provide a safe atmosphere for its customers, I am justified in taking it to court. Lydia: Unwarranted lawsuits are sweeping the country—lawsuits that have no legal merit and are brought simply to make lawyers and their clients rich. If this trend continues, soon our legal system will be swamped to the point where it won’t be able to administer justice to people who truly deserve it. You therefore should drop your case against PineTree Café. The speakers above appear to disagree on which one of the following points? (Points : 1) Barney is likely to win his case against Pinetree Café. Barney’s lawsuit against Pinetree Café is unwarranted. Many unwarranted lawsuits are sweeping the country. The legal system will soon be unable to administer justice to people who deserve it.Question 16.16. <11{5[1(01)57]}> Arthur: The solutions to most mystery novels I read are not believable. However, my enjoyment of a mystery novel depends only on its suspenseful mood and colorful characters. Norton: Roughly 80% of the mystery novels I read have believable solutions, which is good since I do not enjoy mystery novels that don’t have believable solutions. The speakers above: (Points : 1) agree that most mystery novels do not have believable solutions. agree that a suspenseful mood and colorful characters add to the enjoyment of a mystery novel. disagree on whether a believable solution is required for the enjoyment of a mystery novel. disagree on whether an author’s enjoyment in creating a mystery novel influences whether that novel will have a believable solution.Question 17.17. <21{6[3(08)72]}> Some drugs combat obesity or alcohol addiction by turning off pleasure centers in the brain. However, if the dosage is too high, there’s a risk that people taking them will be plunged into depression. The statements above, if true, support which one of the following assertions? (Points : 1) It is useless to try to treat obesity or alcohol addiction through drugs. All drugs, if taken at too high a dosage, pose the risk that the people taking them will be plunged into depression. The benefits of a medication may be at least somewhat offset by its side effects. Drugs that affect pleasure centers in the brain are often taken at dosages considered to be too high.Question 18.18. <7{6[3(02)66]}> In a survey of 10 film historians, half voted for Nosferatu as the greatest vampire film ever made, and the other half voted for Dracula. However, when asked which lead vampire character they considered more charismatic, all of the film critics chose Dracula over Nosferatu. Based on the information above, it must be true that for some film critics, their feelings about the charisma of the lead character: (Points : 1) is the least important factor they consider when comparing two films. is the most important factor they consider when comparing two films. is not the most important factor they consider when comparing two films. is the only factor they consider when comparing two films.Question 19.19. <11{6[2(03)67]}> Only circus animals with a clean bill of health will perform in today’s exhibition. A monkey, a poodle, and a horse will perform in today’s exhibition. No circus animals with a clean bill of health were prescribed medications this week. If the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true on the basis of them? (Points : 1) The monkey, poodle, and horse are the only animals performing in today’s circus exhibition. No circus animals were prescribed medications this week. No more than two circus animals have a clean bill of health. Neither the monkey nor the horse performing in today’s circus exhibition were prescribed medications this week.Question 20.20. <11{7[1(01)77]}> Detective: The robbery at the mall was carried out by a mall employee acting alone roughly one hour after the mall closed last Saturday night. The only employees present at the mall at the time of the robbery were security guards Evans and Clark. Since the mall’s surveillance system was disabled by the thief just before the robbery, the thief must be Evans.The argument above would be valid if: (Points : 1) Clark is incapable of disabling the mall’s surveillance system. both Evans and Clark are capable of disabling the mall’s surveillance system. Evans and Clark are the mall’s only security guards. the mall’s surveillance system is usually used 24 hours a day, seven days a week.Question 21.21. <11{7[2(03)79]}> Looking to increase the profits of his lemonade stand, Johann doubled the price of a cup of lemonade from 25 cents to 50 cents. This clearly shows Johann’s lack of business sense, for now he’ll almost certainly sell fewer cups at the new price and therefore make less money than before. The argument above assumes that: (Points : 1) Johann is looking to double the profits of his lemonade stand. the price increase will likely put Johann out of business. profits from the price increase will not offset the money lost when fewer cups are sold. even if Johann sells more cups at the new price than he did at the old price, he’ll still lose money on the lemonade stand.Question 22.22. <11{7[3(08)84]}> The president spoke to 19 congressmen from Texas to encourage them to vote for a bill. Since four of the 19 congressmen went on to vote for the bill, it is clear that the president persuaded those four to vote the way they did.The argument above assumes that: (Points : 1) the bill will not pass because a majority of Texas congressmen did not vote for it. the Texas congressmen who voted against the bill were persuaded by someone other than the president to vote the way they did. the president did not try to influence the votes of any congressmen outside of Texas. the four Texas congressmen who voted for the bill were against it before they spoke to the president.Question 23.23. <21{8[1(07)95]}> Political science professor: Many people insist that the Internet is revolutionizing the political process. They argue that Internet debates and online political polls and chat rooms give people greater access to political information. And they’re right that online political chatter increases daily. But offering or reading anonymous online opinions does not by itself make for active political participation. In the past one would attend a rally, protest, or town meeting to engage in real politics. Today, people sit passively in front of computer screens under the illusion that they are connecting with their fellow citizens. Which one of the following best expresses the main idea of the professor’s argument? (Points : 1) Internet debates and online political polls and chat rooms give people greater access to political information. Political organizations of the past bear no resemblance to the political organizations of today. While the Internet has made more political content available, meaningful political involvement has decreased. The Internet has revolutionized the political process because it has allowed many more political viewpoints to be expressed.Question 24.24. <11{8[1(10)98]}> Sometimes people get caught in a “downward spiral,” a case in which something leads to a result which in turn leads to more of the original thing, bringing on more of the result. As the process continues, the result continually gets worse and worse. An example is when people turn to binge eating when depressed, which causes them to put on weight and feel unhealthy, which then makes them more depressed, leading to more overeating, and so on. The author is mainly concerned with: (Points : 1) convincing people not to overeat. explaining the process of the “downward spiral.” showing how overeating can lead to depression. showing how some processes lead to surprising results.Question 25.25. <11{8[1(04)92]}> The very large increase in allergies over the last thirty years is due to the great success of immunizations administered over this time period. Since immunizations have nearly eliminated life-threatening diseases such as polio, the human immune system increasingly targets other environmental substances in order to keep working properly. Allergy symptoms such as runny nose and itchy eyes result when the immune system attacks pollen that is breathed in from the air.Which one of the following best expresses the main point of the passage above? (Points : 1) Immunizations often have surprising side effects. Immunizations have been very successful in eliminating life-threatening diseases. Viruses that once caused polio now cause allergies. The use of immunizations has led to an increase in allergies.

juvenile justice system
The mission of the juvenile justice system has always been based on treatment and rehabilitation. However, there are instances where we have serious and even violent juveniles who many feel are not good candidates for such a system and, thus, should be handled by the adult court system.Bearing that in mind, in an 8- to 10-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, answer the following questions:What is the purpose of the adult court waiver?Specifically, what does it mean for juveniles, as far as their legal rights are concerned, once they have been waived to the adult court system?Is the adult court waiver only used for violent and serious juvenile offenders?Has the use of the adult court waiver become more common in recent years?What are the penalties that juveniles can face once they are waived to the adult system?Are there any penalties that juveniles cannot face once they are waived to the adult system?In your presentation, list and describe at least two benefits and two drawbacks of the adult court waiver. Make sure to support your assertions with research.Submission Details:Support your responses with examples.Cite any sources in APA format.
