<span>The most recent study was done on June 1, 2017, and all information is from that date. There are 673 US District court judgeships and four territorial ones. At the time of this study, there were 160 active circuit court judges and 19 vacant positions, while there were 570 district court judges and a whopping 103 vacant positions.
There are 59 female circuit court judges, 37%. Men, therefore, are in 63% of positions. Intesretingly, this number has actually improved, with only one woman serving in 1977.
Disregarding race, 75% of circuit court judges are white, 13% African American, 9% Hispanic, and only 3% Asian American. 12 courts have African American judges, nine have Hispanic, and five have Asian American. Overall, all three percentages have risen since 1977 (with some variability), but interestingly, Asian Americans have only recently begun to rise in presence., starting in about 2010.
Combining gender and race, white men make up 45.6% of all circuit court judges, while Asian American women only make up 0.6%. In all races, men overpower women in numbers by a large amount.
Looking at age, the average is 64.7 years old, with over 50% over 65 and only 2% under 45. The vast majority were appointed between 45 and 54, though many came slightly before or after.
It is worth noting that the first openly gay circuit court judge was Todd M. Hughes, appointed by Obama in 2013.
If we are considering race, Asian Americans are the lowest represented. If we are considering gender, women are less represented. Overall in race and gender, Asian American women are least represented. Looking at age, people under 40 are underrepresented. Overall, though, the least common demographic would be open members of the LGBT+ community.
As you can see, this is not a straightforward question! It is a hugely interesting topic and one I plan to explore further.</span>

Answer:
c. The medical center will prevail based upon the written contract
Explanation:
Since they later signed a written contract where it is stated in paper and has their signature that the medical center could not assure nor take any responsibilities for the birth of a kid without any medical, mental or physical defects the medical center has the upperhand on the court, as well as they did in Scalisi et al. v. New York University Medical Center that promised a perfect designed baby, the Scalsi decided for invitro fertilization because of the wife´s family medical history and tendency to autism, and they ended up with a baby with autism, so they sue the New York University Medical center, but the court sided with the NYUMC because of the written contract where it stated that they couldn´t assure the baby to be born without any medica, mental or physical defects.
I believe the answer is either tall or bureaucratic organization.
Answer:
<em>Purchasing power parity (PPP): </em>The principle suggests that if the purchasing powers are the same in two different countries, their exchange rates would be in equilibrium.
<em>Happening:</em> When inflation occurs in the US and it occurs more rapidly than in other nations, the currency, the dollar, will be less attractive to other nations. This means that the dollar's exchange rate with the currency of another nation will increase.
Explanation:
Suppose the rate of exchange between pound and dollar is 1 pound= 1.5 dollar before inflation. When inflation happens it may be 1 pound= 2 dollars.
If it has greater buying power, the currency will be demanded more. The US dollar was more requested before inflation, as 1 pound is spent on buying just $1.5. When inflation occurs, the dollar's buying power goes down and it gets less needed. 1 pound is already being spent on that time but to buy more dollars, 2 dollars.
