Then, you include the budget for all the project-related costs. You also include tasks for a minimum of five phases in your project schedule, with at least three levels of tasks beneath each of the phases. Context Executing the project is the third out of five process groups as defined in the PMBOK® Guide. The PMBOK® Guide defines executing processes as those processes performed to complete the work defined in the project management plan to satisfy project requirements. This is where the work gets done, and knowledge and skill sets are applied. As execution is occurring it is important for the project manager to manage all tasks, schedules, and resources.‹ Instructions Complete the following steps for this assessment: Create your project schedule in Microsoft Project. Include tasks, durations, dependencies, resources, and a Gantt chart. Develop a budget in Microsoft Project or Excel that includes the cost for each task, as well as subtotals for each of the five phases and a total cost.

/in /by adminI’m studying for my Philosophy class and need an explanation. Instructions Read the assigned reading from the chapter. Then choose ONE of the questions below to answer. Answer the question you chose in a response that is a minimum of 1-2 paragraphs. Be sure to explain your answers and give reasons for your views. You should cite the textbook and use brief quotations and summaries from the textbook in your response. Do NOT use any other sources besides the textbook. Do you agree with the expression theory of art? Is art simply an expression of feelings? Is abstract art an expression of feelings? Does an art object have to serve a function to be art? Are art objects valuable in themselves, without any functions? Explain. Answer the question on page 337 concerning controversial art. Critique Arthur Danto’s institutional theory of art. One criticism of it is that if people in the artworld define what is and is not art, then there seems to be no way for the decision-makers to decide among themselves what is art. Is this a fair criticism? Why or why not? According to Aristotle, what emotions should a tragedy evoke? What is the point of evoking them? Explain Hume’s view on art and the standard of taste. Do you agree with Hume that some people are more keenly attuned to art objects and that their aesthetic sensibilities are more “delicate”? Or, is he just being a snob?

(Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the cost of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage value of the old machine to determine the initial cost of the investment.) Calculate the net present value of the old backhoes and the new backhoes. Discuss the net present value of each, including what the calculations reveal about whether the company should purchase the new backhoes or continue using the old backhoes. Calculate the payback period for keeping the old backhoes and purchasing the new backhoes. (Hint: For the old machines, evaluate the payback of an overhaul.) Discuss the payback method and what the payback periods of the old backhoes and new backhoes reveal about whether the company should purchase new backhoes or continue using the old backhoes.

Make sure the arrangement shows spatial depth and that some of the elements are oriented to move back in space (away from you). Include a number of cylindrical shapes (cans, bottles – avoid clear glass) as well as square shapes (books or boxes).Include perspective guidelines situated to vanishing points in order to gain accurate perspective.Using the viewfinder and your sketchbook, create several thumbnail drawings to develop a visually interesting and well-designed image. As with the earlier projects, expand two or three of your thumbnails into larger rough sketches, then use the best of these in your final piece. Use your skills in drawing positive and negative shapes to confirm the perspective in your design. Use your skills with contour and cross contour to give solidity and volume to the forms of the various elements.Focus only on line. Do not “shade” or add value to any part of the drawing.There is no need to include the words on labels (avoid distractions). Final drawing is 18â€x24†on drawing paper

/in /by adminEpidemiology is driven by data and usually relies on the collection of information and the analysis and interpretation of that information. Researchers in epidemiology are interested in the constant measurement or assessment of the relationship between exposure and disease/outcome. The study designs can be classified as observational or experimental depending on the approach used to assess the association between exposure and outcome.For the Case Study, research and describe one experimental study design and one observational study design, and provide at least one example of how each design can be used in a research intervention.Explain how one of these studies can be applied to one of the health problems you identified in your community in the Unit I Case Study. Provide a statistical table of the health problem you previously identified in your community (prevalence, incidence, mortality rates, and morbidity rates). This information is usually found in the local departments of health websites. Explain whether the health problem in your community is an endemic, epidemic, or pandemic.Your case study must be a minimum of three pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages. To support your ideas, use a minimum of three outside sources; one may be the textbook. Additionally, use a source that focuses on your community, such as a newspaper or journal article.

/in /by adminhttps://dk1lib.org/book/5736930/b4227d Discussion Question: Using the textbook,  the videos and power points consider the following about the presidency of Andrew Jackson and this transformative period in American history. Reference these resources for a higher score. During the early 1800’s universal suffrage had extended to all white males. The US, in spite of the fact that black people and women could not vote was the most democratic nation on earth. Andrew Jackson was uniquely prepared to usher in this new, more expansive democracy. He is considered to be one of the most controversial presidents in American history. His presidency is defined by three main events. -The Nullification Crisis. -The War on the Bank -The Trail of Tears. For this post you will answer the following questions: 1. How do the events listed above reflect Andrew Jackson’s use/abuse of the authority (and perhaps unlawfully so) of the office of the president of the United States more than any president before him. I other words, how do these events reflect Jacksons use of the power of the presidency in an unprecedented way. You must refer to the learning resources (textbook, ppts, videos) in your post. 2. What were some of the social and cultural beliefs that became widespread during the Age of Jackson? What lay behind these beliefs, and do you observe any of them in American culture today?Â
