For our forum, I want you to go into your community and find a wise person—someone you feel has exemplary wisdom. While I want you to keep the class material in mind, I want you to define wisdom for yourself. It can be something pretty basic: my postman might express wisdom because he is patient and helpful to the community; my pastor might express wisdom because of his moral guidance and leadership; my girlfriend might have wisdom because she knows how to steer our relationship through stormy times; Kawhi Leonard might have wisdom because of his poise and dignity; President Trump might have wisdom because he wants to make the United States great again. It’s up to you to choose your framework and values.
Here is the form I suggest.
1. Cover sheet. All submissions in PH 1010 should have a cover sheet. The coversheet should state the assignment, student info, a title expressing your main idea, an image expressing your main idea. (Message: your paper should have a unifying main idea).
2. Paragraph 1: Identify who you think is wise and why. Your thesis or main idea should go here.
3. Paragraph 2. Identification. Who? Where? Your contact with the person?
4. Paragraph 3 or paragraphs 3-5. Three reasons why this person is wise
5. In #4, you should have at least two specific, concrete examples: “Last week on June 6, President Trump showed wisdom when he spoke of the heroes of D-Day…”
6. Brief conclusion. “In summary….”
A few photos for context.
Take your time with this assignment and submit a polished, thoughtful, and brilliant paper. Grading will be fair—but rigorous. We want to maintain high standards in Philosophy.
You may write in the first person if you wish. Show your personality—use wit, sarcasm, irony, joy, passion etc. Who are you?

IT BUDGET PROJECT ANALYSIS
STUDENTS NAME
INSTITUTION
BACKGROUND
Any project put together boils down to money. With more capital, a massive project can be completed in a week or month. However, this is not often the case (Dinsmore & Cabanis-Brewin, 2011). As the case with the NEO project, every other project faces the trade-off between time, scope and resources. At a post-mortem, these three elements combined further help explain why a particular project dwindled and further give insights on what should have been done. It is entirely impossible to derive a budget without harmonising its scope, time and resources available, why? According to Young (2013), project managers have to breakdown project into activities which calls for prior understanding the scope. Next, costs/resources are associated with activities and, more importantly, activities have a duration, it becomes possible to compute the amount of resources likely to be consumed during the course of a project. Putting all this concept together yields a project budget timeline. In evaluating dynamics that led to the failure of the NEO project, majorly with respect to costs. This paper details what went amiss and recommends solutions to the same.
Peter Drucker, one of the greatest individuals when it comes to the art of planning mentioned, spend 80 per cent of the time planning and only 20 per cent executing. Similarly, allocating enough resources in planning the NEO project would have been a worthwhile course. With approximately $3800 being allocated for planning and only a $720 baseline, it proves not close to effective planning was achieved. What is more, an analysis of work done and what has already been done proves that, for instance in the executing phase Coding, interface development and development review meeting activities are being executed concurrently exerting pressure on resources.
Judging from the derived Gantt, the technique employed in preparing the budget is bottom up. Major deliverable modules are clearly defined, however, moving down the hierarchy a lot has been left out. Clearly depicting the fact that very little understanding or concentration was focused on activities at the bottom level (Dinsmore & Cabanis-Brewin, 2011). More so, the execution task is huge detailing every other component that could otherwise stand on their own. This grouping together of modules blurs the object oriented approach that successful projects assumes and could prove catastrophic when assigning resources to tasks (Kuehn, 2011). In his book, Kuehn (2011) argues, a huge module gives a false impression of concurrently multiple tasks at one go only ending up with deficient results due to poor supervision, low team cohesion, constant reworks, time wastage in the case of work dependencies and so much more.
Since no activity ran out of budget, the project manager can be said to have done good in estimating costs. However, this is not likely to have helped much. The total cost variance is positive and proving an $8000 under budget. Reading between lines, the kick off meeting was a $120 over budget. It had not been allocated any resources and ultimately consumed $120. With the assumption that the project is neglected and or most of the activities were actually executed. Most baseline costs are equal to the planned costs showing the project was operating at a tipping point. In most cases, and as depicted by well planned projects, the planned costs are usually slightly higher than actual costs (Dinsmore & Cabanis-Brewin, 2011). As in the figure in the budget could cater for all activities and a small residual amount still remains. This budget further suggests as resources enlisted in the budget got depleted the project team resorted to means such as delivering inferior product so as to stay within the budget space (Young, 2013).
The project at large violates use of contingency measures in case a budget runs overboard. A contingency budget needs to be clearly plan and allocated almost a quarter of resources allocated to the main activity or module. Moreover, a risk analysis should be included to evaluate whether the activity might need more time. More time calls for more resources that in turn escalate project budget (Kuehn, 2011). During the planning phase the project manager allocated $8000 out of which only $2200 was consumed. These figures show, either more than thrice the activity amount was set aside for a contingency budget, or there were serious problems summing up budget totals.
RECOMMENDATIONS
To make a success out of this budget, a better budgeting technique and tool is vital. Activity based budgeting has proved a better technique because it breaks down all functionalities into independent activities that are tackled exclusively (Dinsmore & Cabanis-Brewin, 2011). At the planning face, for example, it could have been further broken into activities such as: project feasibility study, project plan creation, resource strategy documentation, financial plan writing, agreeing on a test and quality plan, documenting a risk plan, and creating an acceptance criteria. With all this activities separated more light is shade in to the project. Moreover, it gets easier to tackle risks, vulnerabilities and threats that are likely to face a project using this paradigm (Young, 2013). The author further concurs, it is impossible to forecast at 100% effectiveness, therefore, implementing a flexible plan that gives resource allowance is really important.

Then give us a review of the “helper” in at least 150 words. Include what you like or don’t like about it and why you think it may be helpful to others. The site that you review must be on the Handy Helpers list!
Then, for the remaining two posts, respond to two classmates with comments about their post – or a helpful suggestion about related resources.
This research paper will be focusing on the often highly mediated and ambiguous space that exists between fictional and documentary photography. You will need to select a photographer who intentionally treads the line between the two, or whose work is mediated to the extent that it becomes difficult to determine whether it occupies fictional or documentary space. Do these images serve a propagandistic function, or are they in some way meant to sway the spectator’s point of view?
This research paper will feature selected works by an artist discussed in lecture or section, and must be a known photographer whose work has been contextualized within the larger framework of contemporary art and culture. In other words, the artist that you select needs to be the subject of scholarly research. Your paper must be 8-10 pages of text, and this does not include the cover page, images or bibliography. Use relevant examples and citations from the course reader, John Berger’s Ways of Seeing and the research materials available at the Art Library to clarify your assertions.
The purpose of this paper is to apply the course material to the experience of looking at works of art, and to use the readings and lectures to dig a little more deeply into the context surrounding the works than you normally might. Be sure you use at least 8 different sources and make at least 8-10 citations (including scholarly journal articles, monographs, etc.). DO NOT USE Wikipedia because it is often rife with misinformation!
If you have another artist in mind who has not been discussed in lecture or section then talk with your TA to determine whether your selection is a relevant choice for the aims of this paper.
Issues to consider when addressing this paper (when applicable):
Discuss the relationship between form and content in these works; do the formal choices serve to heighten or mask the intent of the work? How do their visual strategies relate to the message or content of the work? In what way does the medium chosen by the artist operate to strengthen the intent of the work? To what degree do the works force you to reevaluate `visual literacy’ in terms of larger issues of time, space, gender politics, larger political issues etc.
If the artist makes intertextual references to other works of art, then be sure to frame your discussion to reflect this, and include a discussion of the specific works referenced.
On writing the paper:
1. The selection of a good thesis and supporting examples is an important part of producing a good paper. Be selective. The paper is about how to look closely at works of art and how your evaluation of objects and images is expanded by the specific context in which they are presented.
2. Write primarily with nouns and verbs. Avoid unnecessary (especially vague and imprecise) adjectives and adverbs.
3. Revise and rewrite. Proofread your work. Do not rely solely on “spell check.”
4. Use the dictionary to refer to words you do not fully understand.
5. Do not overstate, or excessively use qualifiers (such as very, rather, little, etc.).
6. Use orthodox diction and accurate spelling. (“Its” is possessive; “It’s” is a contraction for “it is,” “Its’ ” doesn’t exist. “Their” is possessive, “They’re” is a contraction of “they are,” There is declarative).
7. Be clear. Make references clearly. (Do not use the word “this” as the subject of a sentence).
8. Do not let your opinions get in the way of your writing.
9. Get to the point quickly. Concentrate on quality of writing not quantity of words.
18 hours agoWeek 7 | Discussion – Describing Nature with Math
Hi Everyone,
For this weeks discussion I decided to talk about prompt 1: Albert Einstein once said, “How is it possible that mathematics, a product of human thought that is independent of experience, fits so excellently the objects of reality?”
I agree with Albert Einstein that mathematics was invented by humans to a certain extent. Math subjects like pre-calculus, algebra, geometry, and the more complex stuff were invented by man. However in the Bible there are verses where Good talks about adding or taking away something, along with being fruitful and multiplying. For instance 1 Kings 7:23 says, “Then he made the sea of cast metal. It was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.” Along with Matthew 13:8,”Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” There are so many verses in the Bible that speak about math.

Albert Einstein was and still is one of the best scientists around. I believe that mathematics was created by humans. God created mankind so I do believe he gave us our intelligence and it was mankind who discovered how to use math. I believe that god created humans and animals. He gave us the basics of life and it was man who continued to evolve. Math is still helping everyone to this day and still learning new things about it. people say math and god have nothing to do with each other, but I do believe god has made it possible for everything. If it wasn’t for him I do not believe any of us would be here. Or even know most of the things we know without the help of him guiding scientist in the right direction in discovering something new and allowing them to teach everyone else about it.

Einstein was the physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity, and he is considered the most influential physicist of the 20th century. No human is above God. We are all here for a reason, and Einstein is one of God’s creation whose purpose was to be the best physicist. Human did not invented Math, but rather we were the instrument of Gods special creation.
I chose Leonardo Pisano Bigollo as one of my favorite Theorists in Math, he wrote the famous Fibonacci Sequence, he helped spread Hindu-Arabic Numerals (like our present numbers 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) through Europe in place of Roman Numerals (I, II, III, IV, V, etc). That has saved us all a lot of trouble! Thank you, Leonardo. There he wrote a number of important texts which played an important role in reviving ancient mathematical skills and he made significant contributions of his own. Of his books we still have copies of Liber abaci (1202), Practica geometriae (1220), Flos (1225), and Liber quadratorum.
The book was based on the arithmetic and algebra that Fibonacci had accumulated during his travels. The book, which went on to be widely copied and imitated, introduced the Hindu-Arabic place-valued decimal system and the use of Arabic numerals into Europe. Indeed, although mainly a book about the use of Arab numerals, which became known as algorism, simultaneous linear equations are also studied in this work. Certainly, many of the problems that Fibonacci considers in Liber abaci were similar to those appearing in Arab sources.
Fibonacci was not the first to know about the sequence, it was known in India hundreds of years before!

In your case study, be sure to address the following items:
Scenario 1: As a manager, you have two employees who have a difficult time working together. While nothing specifically unprofessional has been done by either one of them, other team members have expressed concern that the differences between them are causing tension, and some other team members are having difficulty performing their work. Some have even gone so far as to say that the situation is causing a hostile work environment.
Scenario 2: You are a newly hired department director, brought on board to help turn around a struggling department. The members of this department are highly educated and are taking steps to improve the professional development of department members. Despite these efforts, they feel they are underappreciated and also feel that they lack a voice in the direction in which the department is moving. You have leadership experience in a variety of industries.
