be cured. This rightfully worrisome therapy is commonly referred to as conversion therapy. Conversion therapy‚ also referred to as reformative or reorientation therapy‚ is a wide variety of interventions implemented onto an individual who identifies as nonheterosexual with the goal of changing the individual’s sexuality to strictly heterosexual. Currently‚ only a measly six states listed as follows have laws banning conversion therapy on minors: Oregon‚ California‚ New Mexico‚ Vermont‚ Illinois‚ and

One example would be conversion therapy. Conversion therapy is a therapy that claims it can change a person’s sexual preference from homosexual to heterosexual. There is no professional standard for conversion therapy. Some methods of conversion therapy include electric shock therapy‚ talk therapy and estrogen treatments. (Pappas‚ 2012) Conversion therapy is a pseudoscience because it has been disproven by several experts. In 2015

INTRODUCTION Maleic acid and Fumaric acid are both compounds belonging to the carboxylic acids class. In this experiment‚ we formed the two isomers of 1‚2-ethylenedicarboxylic acid and tested the solubility and melting points of both of these products. Both of these compounds involve a carbon-carbon double bond that is composed of one σ bond and one π bond. The overlap of sp2 hybrid orbitals forms the σ bond‚ and one empty p orbital forms the π bond. This process is illustrated in the figure below:

direct materials are added at the beginning of the process‚ and conversion costs are added evenly during the process. Spoilage is detected upon inspection at the completion of the process. Spoiled units are disposed of at a zero net disposal value. Lorando Co uses the weighted average method of process costing. On May 2010‚ beginning WIP has same amount with ending WIP‚ 2‚500 units for direct materials and 4000 units for conversion costs. Production started in May 2010 is 10‚000 units. After the
