San Diego-Tijuana water epidemic. The writer of this paper presents the history as well as the current factors involved in the problem. There were six sources used to complete this paper.
In recent decades the world has come to realize that the earth's resources are not comprised of a bottomless pit. It has been acknowledged that there are resources that are threatening to run out or contaminate so that they can no longer be useful to mankind. One of the most important resources the world has is the water supply. Without water the world would perish, therefore it is vital to maintain a clean and well cared for system at all times. The San Diego Tijuana water supply is under a constant threat of contamination as well as other problems. A drought that refuses to lift limits the amount of water available to the areas and the water that is…...

Indian Gaming in San Diego
The history of Native American tribes is a long, complicated, and more often than not, a sad one. Today, thanks to efforts to help tribes preserve their identity, culture and numbers by means of reservations, many Native Americans not only survive, but also thrive. Indian gaming is one means that has been a source of great income and prosperity for Native American tribes in the San Diego region. Although the economic impact of gaming has been very positive, critics of legalizing and regulating such casinos have expressed concerns regarding potentially negative impacts. While Indian gaming in San Diego has positive impacts for the economy and upliftment of Indian tribes, negative impacts could relate to industry monopolization.
According to the National Gambling Impact Study Commission eport (n.d.), large-scale Indian casino gambling had its origins in 1987. During this year, the Supreme Court found hat the state of California…...

33% of total sales (projected at $900,000). Actual insurance and taxes came to 4% for the year. This is mostly due to a local business tax increase.
Recommendations
Insurance and taxes expense should be calculated at 4% of total budgeted sales.
With a recommended sales budget of $900,000, this expense should be $32,000 ($900,000 X.04).
Rent
Analysis
Rent is established by corporate headquarters, and it is a fixed expense. An unexpected $10,000 increase in rent resulted in rent coming over budget by $10,000.
Rent was expected to amount to $50,000; however, actual costs amounted to $60,000, as directly imposed by corporate headquarters.
Recommendations
The budgeted amount for the next fiscal year's rent expense should be $60,000, which includes the current rent increase without any envisioning of another.
Supplies
Analysis
Budgeted expenses for supplies amounted to $18,000, 2% of total sales ($900,000 X.02). Actual expenses came to $14,000, $4,000 under budget (1.75% of sales). Supplies are purchased locally. This is a variable expense…...
Art of San Diego/Tijuana order
The election of Donald Trump as President of the United States has ignited a fire in the hearts and minds of many people. However, that fire was already burning in many ways prior to his election and for a litany of reasons. Indeed, the conditions and dynamics when it comes to the Mexico border as it is exists in the broader San Diego and Tijuana areas have been ramped up for quite some time. One manifestation of this dynamic is the art that emerges and is displayed and sold on both sides of the border in the greater San Diego area. The economic impacts and outcomes are important to explore given the proposed tariffs and boycotts that are rattling around or are proposed. What shall follow in this report is an annotated bibliography review of ten sources. For each source, there will be three points of…...

• The argument of this source is that there are multicultural art programs in the elementary schools of San Diego and this is done as a means to "build bridges" between different cultures and perspectives in the San Diego area. The economic impact of this may not be distinct or obvious but this manner of delveopment is necessarily and absolutely going to affect what the students spend their money on and the level of multiculturalism that they embrace and partake in • When it comes to assessing the argument of this article, the argument is most certainly a strong one. There are many nationalistic and, at times, xenophobic arguments and screeds that arise when it comes to USA/Mexico relations. On the other hand, there are school-run programs like this that buck that trend and pattern and instead focus on how people and cultures and work and mesh together in positive ways
• This source fits into the project in that it explores ways that the economic impact and outcomes are impacted for the better when it comes to the school systems, how children are raised and the government's involvement in all of the above
Art on the Mexico and US Border
How Art is Being Used for Social, Cultural, and Political Expression
The border between the United States and Mexico has been a focal point of a significant amounts of media attention in recent years. The newly elected US president has consistent stated his intentions to build a wall between the two countries in an overall effort to crack down on illegal immigration. In some of his acts as President, the newly elected Donald Trump has ordered increased immigration enforcement which has come in the way of mass deportations and cancelled visas from certain countries that have been associated with terrorism in the Middle East. He had previously announced that he would build a wall between the US and Mexico and even went as far as claiming that he would make Mexico pay for its construction; a contemptuous claim that has worked to polarize many political…...

Home Health Care in San Diego, CaliforniaToday, the people of San Diego, California enjoy a comparatively high standard of living as demonstrated by a sustained growth in the citys population over the past half century. Although the citys population is also young compared to national averages, the growth in the percentage of elderly residents continues to outpace other demographic segments. This trend has been matched by corresponding efforts to help the elderly and others in need on ongoing health care services remain in their own homes in order to optimize their quality of life. The juncture of these trends has resulted in increased demand for home health services in the San Diego area.

Scientific eport of Tufted Capuchin Monkeys in SanDiego Zoo
Behavioral Differences Between Male and Female Capuchin Monkeys in an Artificial Habitat
Studies have shown that the activity and energy of an animal can be determined through the collection of data and presentation as an activity budget (Altmann 1974, Tacha 1985). An activity budget collects specific behavior data over a predetermined time for an animal or population for analysis in the evaluation of a hypothesis. This study reports the differences in activity between males and females for a population of tufted capuchin primates living in an outdoor artificial habitat within a North American zoo. The hypothesis that there are differences in activity levels between male and females for this population is confirmed for the duration of observation in this study. More study would be required to determine the effects of weather, seasonal variation, and daytime verses nocturnal behavior.

The article emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability in the budget process. With reference to empirical literature, the author points out that though there is no universally accepted methodology for ensuring transparency and accountability in public budget management, there are four important ingredients of success: the production of valid information, alliances between stakeholders, legal empowerment, and international support. Enhancing transparency and accountability in the budget process is vital for ensuring efficiency in the allocation of public finances, promoting fiscal discipline, minimizing corruption and embezzlement of public funds, and most importantly, increasing public confidence in public institutions. The element of stakeholder alliances is…...
Impact of Grades on Student Motivation and Academic Success
