The reason for the selection of this theme of the art is the association of the ideas behind the sculptures is the religion. Like in the first one is the sculpture of the Ares, who was the God of Greece, he was considered to be the God of war. This sculpture was made by the Scopas who was the ancient Greek sculpture. The second work of art is Moses which was for the Tomb of Pope II, which was made by Michelangelo who made this piece of art in the early 16th century (1506). The third piece of art is also related to the religion, in which the wall depicts the Biblical figures, this was made by Claus Sluter, who was the artist from the Dutch origin. The most engaging part of these arts is the religious depiction which evolved through the times. From Ares to Jesus in the arts. · The common theme is the religious personalities of the times in which they were made. · It is important to vary the themes through the times, as it describes the artistic preferences of the people, and how this had been addressed by the artists. · Ares: Vatican, Rome, Italy.

Part 1: Post a Response Various reform groups with various causes developed in the US in the late 1800s and early 1900s; these are loosely called “Progressives” as they aimed to use government policies or science to improve and advance society. Also, this period was a time when the US started as a major player in international conflicts—first in the “Spanish American War and then in World War I. There were deep isolationist sentiments about such overseas entanglements, and President Wilson first has one position and then the other. Choose and discuss (in a full paragraph or two) one of the following two topics related to the late 1800s and early 1900s. In the Progressive Era (roughly 1890–1920), multiple groups advocated for reforms in various aspects of government, society, and the economy. Discuss here the “muckrakers” and Taylor’s “scientific management”. Explain briefly the approach and aim of the “muckrakers” and that of F. W. Taylor. Compare their approaches and describe your feelings about them, and relate some modern situation that reminds you of one of these approaches and reform causes. Identify the source(s) where you read about the reform cause. From the text, Wilson did not maintain his own campaign slogan (“He kept us out of war”). Explain with some specifics why Wilson became pro-war. Describe your own feelings on that issue when you look back at it, and whether he was right to change. Briefly, identify a similar international consideration today—or of the last 20 years, and what lesson might be drawn from the example in Wilson’s time. Identify the source(s) where you read about Wilson. Part 2: Respond to a Peer Read a post by one of your peers and respond, making sure to extend the conversation by asking questions, offering rich ideas, or sharing personal connections. .

Part 1: Assessment Summary In 500-750-words, summarize the following: What areas should an AAC assessment evaluate? What areas of communication do AAC assessments address? How do assessment results inform AAC strategies/techniques? Identify AAC assessments used within your school or district and explain when each assessment would most appropriately be used. Support your assessment summary with 1-3 scholarly resources. Part 2: Case Studies Read the following case studies to inform Part 2 of the assignment. Case Study 1: Mandy Mandy is a 3-year-old preschool student who has been diagnosed with ASD and is nonverbal. She is sensitive to loud noises and certain textures. She was recently referred to a child study team by the family physician. Her family doctor described her as having low muscle tone, delayed communication, and delayed motor skills. She uses her behavior and physicality for communicating needs. Mandy does point and reach for desired items, but she has not been able to reproduce any signs, despite her parents' attempts to teach her sign language for the past year. She often appears to be disengaged when playing or when her parents are encouraging her to sign. Her eye contact is minimal, tantrums are common, crying happens daily, and change is very difficult for her. Case Study 2: Wilson Wilson is an 11-year-old boy who was diagnosed with ASD as a toddler. He is physically healthy, but he is very sensitive to hot, cold, noises, and pain. He does not like crowds or lines and struggles with class assemblies, lunch time periods, and recesses. He is in a self-contained special education classroom on a public school campus and attends general education class for music only. He is capable of doing some general education class work, but his behavior is far too unpredictable to make further placement in a general education classroom feasible at this time. He can be impulsive and destructive when frustrated or overwhelmed. He is quite social and enjoys interacting with his peers in both settings; however, it can be difficult to discern when he will have a meltdown. He has tantrums and destroys property, and his participation in some aspects of school is limited. When changes in the schedule occur, such as school assemblies or fire drills, Wilson has a hard time adjusting and oftentimes tips over desks or kicks. He has not been able to attend the last two field trips due to his parents’ concerns for his safety. Case Study 3: Cole Cole is a 16-year-old boy with ASD and cognitive delays. He was born three weeks premature and required intensive neonatal care for six weeks after birth, but he is currently in good health. He passed all hearing and vision screenings. Cole uses gestures and a few verbal words to express his needs and wants; for example yes/no and hungry. He uses a few sign language gestures and some picture symbols, but mostly relies on a communication device in order to communicate with teachers, peers, and parents.

Consult a range of news and social media sources to construct a timeline, but, more importantly, to track and analyze the different audiences and forms of interest in this object. Be sure to do a search on whatever social media you typically use, and, try to depart from major news media outlets in your search. Summarize your findings, highlighting details that you find especially telling or interesting. Part 2 : In a thoughtful way, compare the monolith to at least one other artwork from this class (or, learn about John McCracken and compare to his work). Think about materials, placement, time period, intent (for the work we discussed). Be as specific as you can. Part 3 : Finally, why do you think this work captured worldwide attention?

Part 1: Answer these questions in a couple sentences. 1. What is the difference between reliability and validity? 2. Describe different types of measures (e.g. self report, etc.). What are the pros and cons of each? Abstract 1: Vandell et al., 2010 Relations between nonrelative child care (birth to 4 ½ years) and functioning at age 15 were examined ( N = 1364). Both quality and quantity of child care were linked to adolescent cognitive and social functioning. Effects were similar in size as those observed at younger ages. Higher quality care predicted higher cognitive-academic achievement at age 15. Higher quality early child care also predicted youth reports of less externalizing social behavior. More hours of nonrelative care predicted greater risk taking and impulsivity at age 15. Summary: Abstract 2: Love et al., 2005 Early Head Start, a federal program begun in 1995 for low-income pregnant women and families with infants and toddlers, was evaluated through a randomized trial of 3,001 families in 17 programs. Interviews with primary caregivers, child assessments, and observations of parent-child interactions were completed when children were 3 years old. Caregivers were diverse in race-ethnicity, language, and other characteristics. Regression analyses showed that 3-year-old program children performed better than did control children in cognitive and language development, displayed higher emotional engagement of the parent and sustained attention with play objects, and were lower in aggressive behavior. Compared with controls, Early Head Start parents were more emotionally supportive, provided more language and learning stimulation, read to their children more, and spanked less. The strongest and most numerous impacts were for programs that offered a mix of home-visiting and center-based services and that fully implemented the performance standards early. .

Assignment 3 Assignment 3 is due after you complete Lessons 9 to 11. It is worth 20% of your final grade. Prepare your responses to these assignment problems in a word processing file; put financial data in a spreadsheet file. As you complete the assignment problems for each lesson, add your responses to these files. Do not submit your answers for grading until you have completed all parts of Assignment 3. Note: In assignments, show all calculations to 4 decimal places. Lesson 9: Assignment Problems 9.1 The Constant-Growth-Rate Discounted Dividend Model, as described equation 9.5 on page 247, says that: P0 = D1 / (k – g) A. rearrange the terms to solve for: i. g; and ii. D1. As an example, to solve for k, we would do the following: 1. Multiply both sides by (k – g) to get: P0 (k – g) = D1 2. Divide both sides by P0 by to get: (k – g) = D1 / P0 3. Add g to both sides: k = D1 / P0 + g (8 marks) 9.2 Notation: Let Pn = Price at time n Dn = Dividend at time n Yn = Earnings in period n r = retention ratio = (Yn– Dn) / Yn = 1 – Dn/ Yn = 1 - dividend payout ratio En = Equity at the end of year n k = discount rate g = dividend growth rate = r x ROE ROE = Yn / En-1 for all n>0. We will further assume that k and ROE are constant, and that r and g are constant after the first dividend is paid. A. Using the Discounted Dividend Model, calculate the price P0 if D1 = 20, k = .15, g = r x ROE = .8 x .15 = .12, and Y1 = 100 per share B. What, then, will P5 be if: D6 = 20, k = .15, and g = r x ROE = .8 x .15 = .12? C. If P5 = your result from part B, and assuming no dividends are paid until D6, what would be P0? P1? P2? D. Again, assuming the facts from part B, what is the relationship between P2 and P1 (i.e., P2/P1)? Explain why this is the result. E. If k = ROE, we can show that the price P0 doesn’t depend on r. To see this, let g = r x ROE, and ROE = Yn / En-1, and since r = (Yn – Dn) / Yn , then D1 = (1 – r) x Y1 and P0 = D1 / (k – g) P0 = [(1 – r) x Y1] / (k – g) P0 = [(1 – r) x Y1] / (k – g), but, since k = ROE = Y1 / E0 P0 = [(1 – r) x Y1] / (ROE – r x ROE) P0 = [(1 – r) x Y1] / (Y1 / E0 – r x Y1 / E0) P0 = [(1 – r) x Y1] / (1 – r) x Y1 / E0), and cancelling (1 – r) P0 = Y1 / (Y1/E0) = Y1 x (E0 / Y1) = E0 So, you see that r is not in the final expression for P0, indicating that r (i.e., retention ration or, equivalently, dividend policy) doesn’t matter if k = ROE. Check that changing r from .8 to .6 does not change your answer in part A of this question by re-calculating your result using r = .6. (10 marks) 9.3 You are considering an investment in the shares of Kirk's Information Inc. The company is still in its growth phase, so it won’t pay dividends for the next few years.

(2) The doctrine of privity of contract determines who may enforce the contract and provides that only the parties to a contract may enjoy the benefits of that contract (1) or suffer burdens under it (1). 2. What were the two difficulties in establishing an argument that the contracting party in fact contracted as agent for the third party? (2) The 2 difficulties in establishing the agency argument were (a) establishing that the third party (principal) gave authority to the agent to act in that capacity. (1) (b) establishing that the principal provided consideration to support the promisor's promise. (1) Example is Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre v Selfridge. 3. In what circumstances under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 can a third party rely on an exemption clause in a contract to which he is not a party? (3) How does this differ from the previous position at common law? (4) A third party (i.e. a person who is not a party to a contract containing an exemption clause) may enforce that clause under s.1(6) of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 if either (a) the contract expressly states that the third party shall have this right of enforcement (1) or (b) the exemption clause purports to protect the third party and (on a proper construction of the contract) there is nothing to indicate that the contracting parties did not intend the term to be enforceable by that third party (s.1(1)(2)). See Nisshin Shipping v Cleaves (2003) for explanation of s.1(1)(b) and s.1(2).
