The use of teams in organizations has grown exponentially in recent decades due to increased competition. Teams are more popular because they can better utilize employee talents, be more flexible and responsive to change, and help motivate employees by increasing participation in decision making. The chapter aims to analyze the popularity of teams, contrast different types of teams and groups, identify characteristics of effective teams, and determine when individuals should be used instead of teams.

Introduction
Team Development Model
From a personal perspective, I will use the forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning model of team development. Wright (2013) indicates that Bruce Tuckman developed this team development model and maintained that the five stages were important for team growth. Also, the phases can enable teams to face up to problems, to tackle and solve problems, to plan work, as well as to deliver results. During the forming stage, members get acquainted with one another and understand the scope of a project. They establish ground rules by finding out acceptable behaviors with respect to interpersonal relations and the project. The storming phase is marked with high level of internal conflict while the norming stage is characterized by close relationship development and group cohesiveness. Performing stage is associated with fully functional and acceptable team that aims to accomplish project goals. During adjourning phase, a team prepares for its disbandment.

The Forming Phase, this is the initial phase. Teammates are introduced and take the time to understand the scope of the project they are undertaking. During this phase, ground rules are established, and acceptable behaviors are found. The Storming Phase, the second phase is known as the Storming Phase. This phase marks when defined roles are established for each team members. This phase is marked with a high level of internal conflict. The Norming Phase, the third phase in series is called the Norming Phase. During the Norming phase, the team is characterized by developing close relationships and working towards group cohesiveness. The Performing Phase, the fourth phase is the Performing Phase. The Performing phase is associated with the team being fully acceptable and functional to accomplish any goals within the project. The Adjourning Phase, the final stage in this model is the Adjourning Phase. In this final phase, a team prepares for adjourning or disbandment. If a team is able to form, storm, norm, and perform in the ways identified above, they are sure to benefit immensely and grow as a unit.

Preparation for the Team
First, I will establish ground rules for the team’s operations. To be effective, team members must be clear about how they work together. A team must have a common identity, share same values, goals, plus objectives. Great communication skills are required to instill that each member of the team is well informed. Ground rules will provide guidance for needed behaviors and expectations. Once the ground rules have been established and agreed upon, a team will define each member’s roles and responsibilities. Decision making is also an important aspect of teamwork. With this in mind, team members will determine decision making process and conflict resolution approach. Moreover, I will outline the tea ...

As today’s economy places greater pressure upon organisations to be highly competitive, agile and innovative, collaboration has become a vital aspect of an organisation’s practice, requiring teamwork across different job roles, business sites and hierarchies, all to achieve a common goal. Teamwork is also important for employees, leading to greater engagement with their work and increased wellbeing, sense of belonging and job satisfaction.

PHYS 102
“In the Real World” Discussion Topics
You may choose your topic of discussion*, provided it is germane to the concepts covered in this module.
Construct an engaging 3-paragraph initial post that ties one or more of the module’s concepts to the real world. The paragraphs should address the following points:
· Paragraph 1: Outline a general definition and description of the physics concepts/topics you have chosen to discuss*, referencing this week’s readings on the topics, as appropriate. Include descriptive features (as applicable) about the physics concepts – dependent factors, relevant terminology, conventions, common units of measure, etc.
· Paragraph 2: Summarize one or more impacts of the physics concept(s) to everyday life or aviation operations.
· Paragraph 3: You have two options for this paragraph:
1) Provide a real example, from an article or documented report (aircraft performance, incidents or accidents, for example), of the aviation impact of this physics concept.
2) Give us “your take” on the relevance and importance of this topic from your own perspective, by providing personal points of view or related experiences.
*Consider the following as good topic “starters” for discussion:
· What were your “Aha!” moments as you worked through the material?
· How does this module's content relate to your professional career? Personal life?
· How does this module's content relate to current events?
· Did you more deeply explore a topic only covered lightly in the course materials? What did you discover?
· What concepts (learning objectives) did you struggle with? What resources helped you overcome this hurdle?
NOTE: you may use one or more of the above (but not all) as primers to formulate your initial discussion post.

Writing Advice
1. Never underestimate the importance of structure. Consider preparing an
outline of your paper either before you write it or when you are in the process of revising
it. If you can't give a clear, step-by-step breakdown of what you're trying to accomplish in
the paper, it's probably not a very good paper. You should also remember the importance
of a good, clear introduction a.

Paper #3: Chinese Philosophy
You may choose to write about either Confucianism (A) or Daoism (B).
(A) Confucianism: Kongzi (Confucius) or Mengzi (Mencius)
Choose a passage from one of the primary Confucian texts that we read: The Analects or
The Mengzi. Whatever you choose, you must confine your essay to one of our authors’
texts: either Confucius’ Analects or Mencius’ Mengzi. You may choose any passage you
like but you may only write within the context of one of the two thinkers.
and
Analyze and explain it as thoroughly and precisely as you can, staying close to the text
of the author you choose (using its terminology, following its reasoning, etc.). This point
is important: refer to, quote, paraphrase, and cite Confucius’ or Mencius’ text—his words, his
terms, his explanations, his examples, etc.—to aid your explanation of the idea. The closer you
stay to the text, the clearer your explanation will be.
(B) Daoism: Laozi or Zhuangzi
Choose a passage from one of the primary Daoist texts that we read: The Daodejing or
The Zhuangzi. Whatever you choose, you must confine your essay to one of our authors’
texts: either Laozi’s Daodejing or Zhuangzi’s Zhuangzi. You may choose any passage you
like but you may only write within the context of one of the two thinkers.
and
Analyze and explain it as thoroughly and precisely as you can, staying close to the text
of the author you choose (using its terminology, following its reasoning, etc.). This point
is important: refer to, quote, paraphrase, and cite Laozi’s or Zhuangzi’s text—his words, his
terms, his explanations, his examples, etc.—to aid your explanation of the idea. The closer you
stay to the text, the clearer your explanation will be.
Note on Daoism: Remember that these specific texts are notoriously opaque and
mysterious, and their purpose seems to be, quite explicitly in some cases, to effect an
experiential change in thinking on the part of the reader. So, if you choose this option, give
yourself time to let the text affect you and wash over you. It is common that the sense of
particular passages vacillates and shifts as one reads them again and again. So try—
without trying, of course (i.e., in a wu wei fashion)—to give yourself ample room to
maneuver within the text’s mysterious spaces, as Zhuangzi’s butcher’s blade
maneuver’s freely within the heavenly contours of the ox’s carcass.

In these papers, I want you to try to capture the essence of what you choose. You might

Following contents are the plan in execution.[1] - Cycle Inventory
Advantages/Reasons for Theia Having a Cycle Inventory
· Average amount inventory used to satisfy demand between shipments → allows Theia to take advantage of economies of scale
· Allows Theia to minimize total inventory costs
· Theia should keep the cycle inventory as low as possible to save money on shipping and storage of inventory costs. → key aspect to maximize profit
· Facilitates the balance of supply and demand for Theia’s products by allowing SPC to satisfy customer demand based on forecasts
· Implementing optimal quantity of inventory to receive from suppliers per each shipment/order allows Theia to minimize holding cost of inventory and transportation cost
· Overall, having a cycle inventory will allow SPC to reduce costs, therefore maximizing their profits

Cycle inventory is the average inventory needed to meet customer demand between the order time and when the supply arrives.
Costs are part of the equation due to inventory storage expenses.
⇒ Therefore, we need to know the annual demand of our product as well as the material cost, shipping cost, and holding cost:
Demand (D) = Annual demand (obtained through forecasting) Year 4
2,504,131 Smart Glasses
Cost (C) = Price paid by the manufacturer to the supplier for 1 unit of supply
$300
Inventory holding cost (h%) = cost of holding $1 of inventory for 1 year.
0.1
Fixed Ordering Cost (S) = cost of placing the order and labor for receiving.
$3000
Lot Size (Q) = Number of units in 1 lot of shipment (quantity per shipment)
QL*= √
QL* = √
QL* =12920.6
The amount Theia should load onto each truck is about 12,920.6 Smart Glasses per shipment to minimize total cost based on forecasted demand for year 4. (Efficiency)

Phil 2101: Final Paper
Guidelines: Approximately 5 pages, double spaced, 1” margins, 12 pt. font, to be submitted in hard copy at the time of the final exam.
In explaining each author’s respective arguments, you should use quotes from the text, to justify your attributions. However, no outside sources should be used.
No, bibliography is required, however, you should note in parentheses the page on which the quoted material is found (in either edition of the text).
Ex: Nagel claims that arguing that evil is only the absence of good will not help to dispel the problem, for “facts are not altered or abolished by rebaptizing them” (p. 91).
At least one page of the paper should be dedicated to your defense of the final question of each option.
Option 1: Are there rational grounds for belief in God despite the existence of evil? Critically
evaluate Nagel's argument for atheism against Swinburne's theodicy. Does Swinburne provide a sufficient response to the problem of evil in your view? Why or why not? Defend your answer.
Option 2: Are human beings free and responsible agents? Weigh the argument for hard
determinism (discussed by Ayer) against either Ayer or Frankfurt's soft determinist response and the libertarian argument posed by Taylor. Who has the best argument, in your view, and why? Defend your answer.
Option 3: Mill alleges that morally correct actions are those that result in the greatest happiness for all affected? Is this true? Consider the objections to utilitarianism raised by the problem cases in Williams's "Critique of Utilitarianism" and/or the so-called Trolley Problem. Are these real problems for the theory or does the Utilitarian get the answer right even in these difficult cases? Defend your answer.
NOTE: All papers submitted in hard copy are scanned and uploaded in .pdf format to TurnItIn for archiving and plagiarism detection purposes. It is your responsibility to review the university guidelines on plagiarism prior to submission. Plagiarism will result in an automatic F for the class and initiation of BC disciplinary proceedings. DON’T RISK IT!

Problem 1: It’s raining . . .
Objects falling through the atmosphere will experience drag forces. In this exercise, you will
discover why smoke and ash take a long time to settle, why clouds seem to float, why rain falls,
etc. In this exercise, we will use the drag model and assume spherical particles so CD = 0.47. The
density of air is 1.2kg/m3, approximately.
A) The diameter of a typical rain drop is on the order of 0.5mm to 8.0mm. Use the drag model
to find out how long for a drop of water to fall 1 meter in the sky. The density of water is about
1.00g/cc (hint: compute the terminal velocity and use it to find out the time to fall 1 meter. Do
this for 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 2.0mm)
B) When there’s a forest fire or a volcano erupts, a lot of small particles are thrusted into the
atmosphere. These particles will reach terminal velocity rapidly and there are several categories.
They are denoted as PM50, PM2.5, etc. The number after PM is the particle size in micrometers.
PM2.5 means 2.5 micrometers or smaller. This is a dangerous category and can make people sick.
Compute the time it takes for these particles to fall from an initial height of about 9km. The range
of densities of the lighter particles is from 0.7g/cc to 2.45g/cc.
C) When a nuclear weapon detonates, the particles generated in the fall out can be as small as
10nm. How long will a sphere of Iodine-131 of diameter 10 nm, 100 nm, 1.0 micron, 20 microns
stay in the air if the "air burst" put the particles at an initial height of 20km? What if you had
strong winds that "carried" the particles say at 20mph in the horizontal direction. How much area
would the ash cover? Assume the density of Iodine to be about 4.9g/cc.

Problem 2: Sailboat
You are sailing on the open sea, but you see an island in front of you. You’d like to explore it, but
the wind is blowing directly from the island toward you! If you point your sails so that it catches
the maximum wind force, you will be pushed away from the island. How can you get to the island?
HINT: Google search: Points of Sail. A diagram of a sailboat is shown below.

Figure 1: Diagram showing a typical sailboat with various components. The jib and sail convert
wind energy into a force that pushes the mast. The mast couples the force to the boat body. The
keel is in the water and keeps the boat going along the long direction. The rudder helps steer the
boat. The force diagram shows how the forces act to produce the heading force, which moves the
ship forward.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
