Answer to Question 1

Cost benefit evaluation examines the monetary costs of training with all the non-monetary benefits that the training is likely to bring. For example, if the training was on making supervisors more approachable, the benefits might be more satisfied workers, less labor strife, and so forth. These things are difficult to measure monetarily but are an important benefit.

Cost effectiveness evaluation compares the financial cost of training to the financial benefits. Here the value of the training is translated into dollars based on one of two methods. Cost savings analysis examines the savings that accrue given there are fewer grievances filed (because supervisors are more approachable), or any other savings that accrue from the training. Utility analysis goes one step further and estimates the value of the new behavior exhibited and puts a value on that based on estimates from the supervisor's supervisor. Then, the formula for determining the effectiveness of training is used to calculate the savings.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
