Quite a number of researchers have studied the relationship between macroeconomic factors and tax revenue, with a majority concluding the existence of an interdependence (Tanzi, 1989) (Ghura, 1998) (Gober & Burns J, 1997). Global Studies. Over the past decade, several empirical studies have found a link between macroeconomic variables and tax revenue. G.D.P. growth for one has been shown to have a positive impact on tax revenues. Iriqat and Anabtwar (2016) established that growth in G.D.P. led to an increase in tax revenues in Palestine. Their paper investigated the causality relationship between tax revenue and gross domestic product in developing nations and used Palestine as a case study. The study covered 1999-2014 and divided the years into a time series of three stages. The econometric model of choice for Iriqat and Anabtwar was Ordinary Least Squares regression. Their central hypothesis was that there is no interdependence between tax revenues, and G.D.P. and its components, which they proved wrong for the first two-time stages that are 1999-2001 and 2006-2007. Their last time stage however showed no significant link between the two…

TASK ASSIGNMENT Question 1: “Research on various forms of Antennas” There are various forms of antennas accessible in wireless communication domain. For example, Yagi, Cellular antenna, Horn antenna etc. A research is conducted on these innovations in antennas particularly in terms of usage, benefits and disadvantages or limitations of these antennas. These different forms of antennas are categorized in different types like Omni-directional, semi-directional and directional antennas. Yagi and Horn Antennas are the examples of directional antennas. These antennas possess passive gain that is employed to increase the indication measured in decibels (Akkarajitsakul, Hossain, Niyato, & Kim, 2011). We explored these forms of antennas and will describe them one by one as follows: Yagi Antenna Yagi antennas share a dipole as the leading or “driven” constituent. Yagi antennas are commonly used in ham radio, TV reception, and as a connection antenna to link a location with a Wi-Fi admittance point. The benefits include that Yagis are sort of “directional antennas”. The Yagi antenna’s scheme or design help to sieve out nearly each signal noise approaching from the reverse direction. However,…

  RE: RESPONDING TO THE COVID-19 CRISIS ON CHILD CARE AND EDUCATION Following the outbreak and spread of the coronavirus, education in the US has been paralyzed and significantly affected by this pandemic. My main concern is that since the explosion, the children have not been going to school. The children must be protected from this deadly virus and provide quality education to them even if the virus is still spreading across the country. The spread of coronavirus not only affected the education sector but also affected the country’s overall production, resulting in a decrease in the real GDP. There should be a policy that provides a platform to understand better what is needed by the families and childcare providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This will include not only health issues but also matters to do with the education of the children. The Covid-19 is a national issue as it spread over the whole country and even across the globe. The life of Americans has been dramatically affected and reordered due to the spread of this virus. The new cases…

A habit is a behavior that a person is used to doing. Habits vary from small behaviors like nail-biting, to harmful habits like smoking. Bad habits result from boredom and stress (Zedelius et al., 2018). There are numerous ways in which a person can approach to kick a bad habit. A person can identify the behaviors that they think are not good for them. They must know exactly the habits that they would like to change so that they know what to work on specifically. Additionally, they need to identify what triggers their bad habits. Thus, they will be able to avoid situations or places that trigger them. Changing a habitual thing is difficult. Hence, it requires a lot of effort and time to overcome it. Another way that a person can use to break a bad habit is by punishing themselves. Every time an individual engages in the behavior they want to change, they should hold themselves accountable. For example, an individual can get a jar and put money in it whenever they engage in a bad habit. Making…

Children engagement in a session   The children were able to meet some of the objectives. As for the first objective, the children performed the overarm throw skill with proper techniques during the demonstration section. However, some children did not follow the correct procedures during the practice; for example, some children did not swing their arm to their ear level, as they might focus too much on whether they were able to throw bean bags into hula hoops. As for the second objective, the children could not successfully throw bean bags into the first hula hoop during the practice. It was quite difficult for them to aim at a specific target and successfully throw bean bags into the goal. All children were able to achieve the third objective; each pair was able to add up all the numbers and tell the correct answers of how many scores they get in total. The instructions were clear as the children were able to understand and follow these instructions. I also applied some useful strategies, including explicit teaching, short and clear verbal prompts,…

Critique of Getting to Yes and Getting Past No       These two books give the strategies that can be used by the negotiator to reach a point of mutual benefits without giving in to the opponent’s demands. These two approaches, however, have been criticized on the basis that they simplify the negotiation process so much. Another weakness of these approaches is that they lack quantitative evidence that they are better approaches to negotiation than all other possible means. The first principle on getting to yes, for instance, is based on the personality aspect of the negotiator. Under this, the negotiator’s communication skills, perception, and attitude affect the outcome of the negotiation process. If the negotiator fails in their communication skills, therefore, this approach will not be effective. On the other hand, from the plan of getting past no, the negotiator is supposed to maintain his mental equilibrium and not react when engaging with the opponent (Booth, Bridget, McCredie and Matt 109) Going to the balcony as the author puts it is not easy for the negotiator especially when…

A Prayer to Invite Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is given freely to us, yet few choose to use it. He comes loaded with so many stunning gifts. The only thing expected from us is to open our souls and untie the ribbons.   Some Christians lack knowledge of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Others forget the importance of the Holy Ghost. Holy Spirit is not an ancient being that existed; He is eternal. When we open the curtain of our hearts and welcome Him, He comes in laden with gifts.   He is such a good-hearted visitor who has a unique gift for every host. 1 Corinthians 7-11 mentions,” But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is granted by the Spirit the Word of wisdom; to another the Word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another diverse…

Is a shotgun handy for Home Security? Beginning with the shotgun, it has always been the most wanted weapon when it comes to home security. This weapon bombards several bullets from shells very speedily. Since these bullets are sprayed from the barrel, they possess exceptional stopping command, hence knocking your enemy out very easily. A shotgun works finest when the people residing in your home can find themselves a safe haven and safeguard themselves at a common spot.  If the several bullets that make the shotgun so impactful miss their prey, it can cause serious damage to the innocents as well. A shotgun possesses a resilient recoil which makes it a troublesome weapon and makes it difficult to recover to proceed with the second round. Shotguns are quite heavy and large which is a big challenge for some people. Your tolerance and strength should be enough substantial that you would be able to hold the home trespasser at gunpoint with a hefty shotgun for a minimum of 10 to 20 minutes or else its weight would tire you out. Numerous…

Negotiation Tactics Discuss an experience that you had using negotiation tactics. The experience that made me use the negotiation tactics was when I was purchasing my first laptop. I requested a ten percent discount off the laptop. I had to use negotiation skills in order to ensure that we reached a certain price. One of the negotiation tactics was promising to be a regular client if she accepted the 10 percent discount. In the end, the negotiation tactic worked, and I got a 10 percent discount. If they could not have agreed on the discount, I could have asked them to do free delivery to compensate for the discount. In your opinion, are the tactics in the video similar to real negotiations, or is it just Hollywood? They are similar to real negotiation. The only difference is the context. In the video, the negotiation tactic employed is collaboration. This means that one has to agree in order for both parties to have a win-win situation. In the video, they are negotiating for one of their crew who was held hostage. In real…

Are traditional market forces necessarily the best way to manage healthcare allocation? Market forces. Market forces imply the demand and supply, which dictate the prices of products in the economy’s markets and the distribution of resources. These forces influence the producers’ and consumers’ behavior. Other than demand and supply, there are other forces like emotions that influence consumer/producer behavior plus the pricing signal. The answer. Traditional market forces are the best methods of distributing healthcare in a region. Qualitatively, traditional forces in the market do not influence the allocation of resources, but quantitatively, they have a great significance. A study indicates that high quality hospitals with reported and assessed risk-adjusted survival, adherence to well-set up clinical practices, and threat-adjusted re-admissions attract a more significant market share at a given point to higher growth with time. A significant number of patients flooding a healthcare institution require an entity to have better healthcare resources to take care of the numbers. Patients tend to get drawn to institutions with better resources in terms of equipment, and medical practices need reassurance that their lives…
