Your friend Gail is an electrician who does repair and installation work for small businesses and homeowners. She often has customers ask her if she will accept a credit card in payment for her services, but she has been reluctant to set up a credit card payment processing system in her truck. Using your favorite search engine or the resources of your library, identify at least two companies that offer devices that could be attached to Gails smartphone to allow her to accept credit card payments. Examine the product offerings of the two companies you identify and summarize the costs and benefits in a report of about 100 words that can help Gail decide if this payment processing option would make sense for her business.

Question 2

Evan Moskowitz has formed an Internet training company called Teach-U-Comp to sell computer programming courses online. Each course costs 65, and students receive continuing education units (CEUs) based on the duration of the course and its level of difficulty. Evan expects to sell about 100 courses each month during his first few years in operation. He would like to accept credit and debit cards as payment for the courses. Evan is busy creating the online content and installing the course delivery software, so he hired you to investigate payment processing options for the site. Use your favorite search engine to identify three companies that process credit card payments for Web sites that sell downloadable digital products (such as Evans courses). Examine the processing services offered and fees charged by these three companies and choose one that you believe would be best for Teach-U-Comp. Write a 300-word report in which you summarize your findings. In the conclusion to your report, clearly state which company you would recommend to Evan and explain why.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
