This document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 2 of a project management textbook. It discusses the importance of linking projects to organizational strategy, establishing a project priority system, and using selection criteria and models to evaluate potential projects. A portfolio management approach is recommended to select projects that best support strategic goals and balance risks. Senior management provides guidance while a governance team manages the project portfolio and ensures selection processes are objective.
This document discusses strategies for project selection and portfolio management. It covers the importance of linking projects to organizational strategy, having a system to prioritize projects, and using financial and non-financial criteria to evaluate projects. A multi-criteria selection model is presented as a way to objectively assess projects using weighted criteria and allow comparison across project proposals. The document also notes that managing a portfolio of projects helps ensure resources are allocated to initiatives that support strategic goals.
This chapter discusses a firm's internal organization and the importance of analyzing resources, capabilities, and core competencies. It defines key terms like resources, capabilities, and core competencies. Resources are the basic units that are bundled to create organizational capabilities. Capabilities in turn form the basis of core competencies, which can provide competitive advantages. Both tangible and intangible resources are discussed. Capabilities are created by combining resources and are the foundation for developing core competencies. Analyzing the internal organization allows a firm to understand its strengths and weaknesses and identify areas to create value for customers.

A newcomer’s entry as a real estate agent into the vocation of soliciting and
negotiating real estate transactions typically begins with the marketing and
locating of single family residences (SFRs) as a seller’s agent or a buyer’s agent
(also known as listing agents or selling agents, respectively).
Other properties an agent might work with include:
• one-to-four unit residential properties;
• apartments;
• commercial income properties (office buildings, commercial units and
industrial space);
• agricultural property; or
• unimproved parcels of land.

is a purchase agreement form. Different types of properties each require
a different variety of purchase agreement. Various purchase agreement
comprise provisions necessary to negotiate the sale of a particular type of
property.
Three basic categories of purchase agreements exist for the documentation of
real estate sales. The categories are influenced primarily by legislation and
court decisions addressing the handling of the disclosures and due diligence
investigations in the marketing of properties
The three categories of purchase agreements are for:
• one-to-four unit residential property sales transactions;
• other than one-to-four unit residential property sales transactions,
such as for residential and commercial income properties and owner-
occupied business/farming properties; and
• land acquisition transactions.
Within each category of purchase agreement, several variations exist.
The variations cater to the specialized use of some properties, the diverse
arrangements for payment of the price, and to the specific conditions which
affect a property, particularly within the one-to-four unit residential property
category.
Purchase agreement variations for one-to-four unit residential sales
transactions include purchase agreements for:
• negotiating the conventional financing of the purchase price [See

Gender and Media: Content, Uses, and Impact
Dara N. Greenwood and Julia R. Lippman
Although research offers compelling evidence to suggest that men and women are far more simi-
lar than they are different across a wide variety of domains, our perceptions of gender difference
can lead us to believe that men and women do inhabit distinct gendered universes and can trigger
self-fulfilling prophecies that confirm these expectations. These perceptions can even guide how aca-
demics choose to interpret the research literature. Hyde’s (2005) review of 46 meta-analyses supports
a “gender similarities hypothesis,” namely, the magnitude of gender differences across these studies
as measured by effect size is small or negligible in over three quarters of the cases assessed. Put
differently, a “small” effect size (i.e., d < 0.35; Hyde, 2005) means that 85% of the distributions for
women and men overlap. This is not to say that a 15% difference in distributions is an insignificant
percentage, but it certainly illustrates that emphasizing difference to the exclusion of similarity paints
an inaccurate picture. Further, where moderate or large gender differences did emerge, they were
often the product of social context. For example, women are more likely than men to smile when
they know they are being observed (LaFrance, Hecht, & Paluck, 2003, as cited in Hyde, 2005). The
latter finding suggests that a given social situation may be of paramount importance in the apparent
differences between men and women.
The social environment can influence the manifestation of present attitudes and behaviors, but
it is also a powerful shaping force throughout the lifespan. In their discussion of a social cognitive
approach to gender development, Bussey and Bandura (2004) suggested that the mass media, in
addition to ongoing input from parents and peers, offer a “pervasive cultural modeling of gender
roles” (p. 108). It is not just children who assimilate cultural models, however; research on the
phenomenon of “possible selves” (Markus & Nurius, 1986) suggests that over the course of our
lives, we continue to draw hoped for as well as feared selves from “the categories made salient by the
individual’s particular sociocultural and historical context and from the models, images, and symbols
provided by the media and by the individual’s immediate social experiences” (p. 954, emphasis
added).
So how does the media environment contribute to our gendered perceptions and experiences?
With a few exceptions, the basic cognitive and emotional processes by which media exert an impact
tend to be similar for both men and women. The most robust gender differences exist at the level
of media representation and content and the selective exposure patterns that are, in part, a response
to gender-typed content. In order to understand how media affect women and men, it is crucial first
to understand systematic gender differences in media content, as well as any gender difference.

CHAPTER 25Arab Unity and Disunity (since 1967)THE CRIS.docxwalterl4
CHAPTER 25
Arab Unity and Disunity (since 1967)
THE CRISIS OF 1973
'Abd al-Nasir lived for three years after his defeat. His position in the
world had been badly shaken by it; his relationships with the United States
and Britain were soured by his accusation and belief that they had helped
Israel militarily during the war, and by the American insistence that Israel
would withdraw from conquered territories only in return for peace. His
position in regard to other Arab rulers was weakened as the limitations of
his power became clear. One immediate result of the war of 1967 was that
he cut his losses in Yemen, and made an agreement with Saudi Arabia by
which his forces were withdrawn.
Inside Egypt, however, his position was still strong. At the end of the
fateful week in June 1967 he announced his resignation, but this aroused
widespread protests in Egypt and some other Arab countries, perhaps
because of skilful organization, but perhaps because of a feeling that his
resignation would be a deeper defeat and humiliation. His hold over
popular sentiment in other Arab countries also remained strong. Both
because of his own stature and because of the recognized position of Egypt,
he was the indispensable broker between the Palestinians and those among
whom they lived. In the years after 1967, the growth of Palestinian national
feeling and the increasing strength of Fatah, which controlled the PLO
from 1969, led to a number of incidents of guerilla action against Israel,
and Israeli reprisals against the lands where the Palestinians had some
freedom of action. In 1969, Egyptian intervention brought about an
agreement between the Lebanese government and the PLO, which set the
limits within which the PLO would be free to operate in southern Lebanon.
In the next year, 1970, severe fighting broke out in Jordan between the
army and Palestinian guerilla groups which seemed on the point of taking
over power in the country. The Jordanian government was able to impose
416
ARAB UNITY AND DISUNITY (SINCE 1967)
its authority and end the freedom of action of the Palestinian groups, and
once more it was the mediation of 'Abd al-Nasir which made peace between
them.
Immediately after this, 'Abd al-Nasir suddenly died. The extraordinary
scenes at his funeral, with millions weeping in the streets, certainly meant
something; at least for the moment, it was difficult to imagine Egypt or the
Arab world without him. His death was the end of an era of hope for an
Arab world united and made new.
'Abd al-Nasir was succeeded by a colleague of long standing, Anwar
Sadat (19 1 8-81). It seemed, at first, that Egypt would continue as before.
In other Arab countries, too, changes in 1969 and 1970 brought to power
people who seemed likely to follow a policy roughly similar to Nasirism or
at least consistent with it. In Morocco and Tunisia, it is true, there was no
basic change at this time; King Hasan and those around him, and Bourguiba

Chapter 3Linking IT to Business Metrics From the first time IT.docxwalterl4
Chapter 3
Linking IT to Business Metrics
From the first time IT started making a significant dent in corporate balance sheets, the holy grail of academics, consultants, and business and IT managers has been to show that what a company spends on IT has a direct impact on its performance. Early efforts to do this, such as those trying to link various measures of IT input (e.g., budget dollars, number of PCs, number of projects) with various measures of business performance (e.g., profit, productivity, stock value) all failed to show any relationship at all (Marchand et al. 2000). Since then, everyone has prop- erly concluded that the relationship between what is done in IT and what happens in the business is considerably more complex than these studies first supposed. In fact, many researchers would suggest that the relationship is so filtered through a variety of “conversion effects” (Cronk and Fitzgerald 1999) as to be practically impossible to demonstrate. Most IT managers would agree. They have long argued that technology is not the major stumbling block to achieving business performance; it is the business itself—the processes, the managers, the culture, and the skills—that makes the differ- ence. Therefore, it is simply not realistic to expect to see a clear correlation between IT and business performance at any level. When technology is successful, it is a team effort, and the contributions of the IT and business components of an initiative cannot and should not be separated.
Nevertheless, IT expenditures must be justified. Thus, most companies have concentrated on determining the “business value” that specific IT projects deliver. By focusing on a goal that matters to business (e.g., better information, faster transaction processing, reduced staff), then breaking this goal down into smaller projects that IT can affect directly, they have tried to “peel the onion” and show specifically how IT delivers value in a piecemeal fashion. Thus, a series of surrogate measures are usually used to demonstrate IT’s impact in an organization. (See Chapter 1 for more details.)
More recently, companies are taking another look at business performance met- rics and IT. They believe it is time to “put the onion back together” and focus on what

computers. These personal computers made it possible to maximize individual
productivity. However, most current hardware and software technological developments
have been aimed at maximizing group productivity. Increasingly, personal computers
are networked together to enable communication between users and to facilitate
sharing of data and resources. This chapter is aimed at providing a basic understanding
of a range of telecommunications concepts including local area and wide area networks.
We also discuss some recent communications technologies affecting business such as
client/server systems, the Internet, and electronic data interchange. Almost all
computer systems in organizations today are networked, and these networked
computer systems invariably house a wealth of accounting information. It is therefore
important for accountants to have a working knowledge of data communications and
networking concepts.
Telecommunications concepts
Telecommunications refers to the electronic transmission of information from a point of
origin to a point of destination. A telecommunications network is composed of five
components: (1) terminals and workstations, (2) transmission links, (3) tra.

Chapter 3 The APA Ethics Code and Ethical Decision Making
The APA’s Ethics Code provides a set of aspirational principles and behavioral rules written broadly to apply to psychologists’ varied roles and the diverse contexts in which the science and practice of psychology are conducted. The five aspirational principles described in Chapter 2 represent the core values of the discipline of psychology that guide members in recognizing in broad terms the moral rightness or wrongness of an act. As an articulation of the universal moral values intrinsic to the discipline, the aspirational principles are intended to inspire right actions but do not specify what those actions might be. The ethical standards that will be discussed in later chapters of this book are concerned with specific behaviors that reflect the application of these moral principles to the work of psychologists in specific settings and with specific populations. In their everyday activities, psychologists will find many instances in which familiarity with and adherence to specific Ethical Standards provide adequate foundation for ethical actions. There will also be many instances in which (a) the means by which to comply with a standard are not readily apparent, (b) two seemingly competing standards appear equally appropriate, (c) application of a single standard or set of standards appears consistent with one aspirational principle but inconsistent with another, or (d) a judgment is required to determine whether exemption criteria for a particular standard are met.
The Ethics Code is not a formula for solving these ethical challenges. Psychologists are not moral technocrats simply working their way through a decision tree of ethical rules. Rather, the Ethics Code provides psychologists with a set of aspirations and broad general rules of conduct that psychologists must interpret and apply as a function of the unique scientific and professional roles and relationships in which they are embedded. Successful application of the principles and standards of the Ethics Code involves a conception of psychologists as active moral agents committed to the good and just practice and science of psychology. Ethical decision making thus involves a commitment to applying the Ethics Code and other legal and professional standards to construct rather than simply discover solutions to ethical quandaries (APA, 2012f).
This chapter discusses the ethical attitudes and decision-making strategies that can help psychologists prepare for, identify, and resolve ethical challenges as they continuously emerge and evolve in the dynamic discipline of psychology. An opportunity to apply these strategies is provided in the cases at the end of each chapter and the 10 case studies presented in Appendix A.
Ethical Commitment and Virtues
The development of a dynamic set of ethical standards for psychologists’ work-related conduct requires a personal commitment and lifelong effort to act ethically; to encourage ethical.
Chapter 3 3Plainchant Alleluia, Caro mea”Composed ca. 1275This.docxwalterl4
This brief chant from the Mass for the Feast of Corpus Christi is a responsorial chant from around 1275. It alternates between a solo singer and a chorus responding, reflecting how it would have been sung in a medieval monastery. The chant illustrates elements of plainchant including its unison texture and use of melismas to extend syllables.

CHAPTER 3the story of the slave ship, the Zong- in Novembe.docxwalterl4
CHAPTER 3
the story of the slave ship, the Zong:
- in November of 1781, after 3 months at sea the Zong was nearing the ‘New World’ from the western coast of Africa
- had started with 471 African individuals intended for the slave trade
- fresh water was very low and disease had broken out
- in accordance with the ‘economics’ of the slave trade and the norms of the time, the slaves were considered ‘cargo’ – no different from livestock
- the ‘cargo’ had been insured at the beginning of the trip
— slaves that died of natural causes (lack of water, disease) would not be covered by the insurance
— however, if the slaves died from being thrown overboard while still alive, the ship owners’ insurance would cover the lose
— hoping to save water and reduce the spread of disease, 54 sick slaves were chained together and thrown overboard
— over 2 days, more live slaves were thrown overboard (total: 132 persons)
at 1st the insurance company was going to pay, but a new freed slave, Equiano (living free in England now) made an abolitionist aware and a new trial determined the slaves were people, not cargo or livestock and the ship owners did not get the insurance
foundations of US
- beginning in 1600s and through 1700s the US is an agricultural society
- land and labor are needed
- to get land and labor 3 groups were made into minority status
— these groups joined the colonies, then the US through colonization
— these 3 groups are still having problems today (Native American, African American, Hispanic/Mexican American)
two themes throughout this text
1) what the current subsistence technology is for a specific time period) (impacts majority – minority relations at that time (subsistence technology: how a society provides for basic goods, services (shelter, food, water) for its people) (see table)
what’s important
hunting / gathering / foraging
human energy
little stratification
- dependent of what nature provides
agriculture
human energy and animal energy
- more surplus
- increased stratification
- majority / minority relationship is likely to be patriarchal
- land ownership
- cheap, easily controllable workforce
industrialization
addition of other energy sources, culminating in electricity
- even more surplus
- even more stratification
- capital to build factories, buy machinery and raw materials, pay workers
post industrialization / information
electricity
human energy
- high stratification
education
2) what the contact situation is when 2 or more groups first make contact (impacts majority – minority relations at the time and later)
the initial contact situation
- application of the Noel and Blauner Hypotheses
- they are not mutually exclusive; they look at similar, overlapping issues
- much can be learned by applying both hypotheses

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

16. 2-D Kinematics and Projectile Motion
Mary Pruittphysics 133 lab 1
STUDENT ID : 5773918
Pre-Lab Questions
1. In one of your experiments, you will roll a marble down a
ramp to provide an initial horizontal velocity. Suppose you start
the marble at rest (vo = 0 m/s) and it travels a distance of, d,
down the ramp. Use 1-D kinematics to predict the velocity of
the ball (vf ) at the bottom of the ramp. Hint: the acceleration of
the ball down the ramp is 9.81*sin(θ) m/s2 where θ is the angle
of the ramp. Record you answer in variables (you will calculate
the velocity with magnitudes when you perform the
experiment).
= + 2*a*d
vo = 0 m/s, a = m/s2,
vf =
vf = 4.3*
2. Use the kinematic equations to derive a general equation for
the time it takes a ball dropped from rest at vertical height, h, to
reach the ground.
h = u*t + g*t2
For ball dropped from rest, u = 0 m/s
t =
3. Use the result from Question 2 to write a general equation for
the distance travelled by a projectile that is rolling off a table of
height, h, with a horizontal speed, v0x.
distance, d = speed*time
The distance travel d = vox*

19. 2. How do your predictions compare to the observed data?
Explain at least two reasons for the differences.
3. If you were to fire a paintball pellet horizontally and at the
same time drop the same type of paintball pellet you fired from
the paintball gun, which pellet would hit the ground first and
why is this so?
if there was no resistance, the vertical velocities of both pellets
would grow at the same rate and they both would hit the ground
at the same time. The resistance grows with speeds, so the pellet
would hit the ground first. The dropped pellet will hit the
ground first (assuming the ground is perfectly horizontal and
smooth, as the difference between the pellets would normally be
very small). Resistance sometimes act as a barrier to the motion
of falling objects.
4. Suppose you altered your existing ramp so that the marbles
had twice their initial velocity right before leaving the ramp.
How would this change the total distance traveled and the time
that the marbles were in the air?
They would hve gained more speed allowing for further
distance. However, for the falling part it will be the same
because gravity will still put on the marble at the same rate. The
speed will allow for further distance not further time.
5. Describe the acceleration of the marble after it leaves the
ramp. Use kinematic equations to support your discussion.
When the marble officially leaves the ramp, the velocity vs the
initial velocity will change as the replacement of the marble
