Instructions below. Paper that was submitted on next page
Using the results of your work from week two project Identify Overall Scope/ Analysis of Unexpected Results; two additional events will be introduced. You will again analyze the impact of these events to the final project.
In a 2-3 page Word document, discuss your analysis on the following events:
1. It is discovered the refrigerated module is too large for the designed refrigerated backpack pouch. What is your course of action?
2. The subcontractor assigned to build the radio module for the backpack has shut down. What is your course of action?
In your analysis, you should discuss four areas affected by these unexpected events. Three of the areas of the project affected by the events should include changes to budget, human capital, and impact to schedule, and identify one additional area affected by these events.
The project is all about the designing a backpack which will contain a refrigerated pouch and a radio module for the military of US to use during their daily tasks. After going through all the process of project implementation their will occur some unexpected results in one of the components in the project life cycle.
In any project implementation the people undertaking it is given a timeframe so that the equipment will be completed on the required time. This might be an issue because; the people implementing the project may run out of time before finishing up the given task on time. This will bring in inconveniences to the US army crew and it will require them to be a little bit patient.
Impacts of the events
Delay may occur due to more time used to determine the designed and technology to be put in so that the backpack would be able to accommodate all the required components. The backpack should have enough space to take in both the radio module and the refrigerator pack. Also delay of the materials used to implement the project is another issue in that the suppliers take longer period to bring the required materials on time. (Institute, 2008)
The pack back may occur to be smaller in that it will not accommodate the two equipment’s so it will be advisable for the team to dismantle the bag and think of making it bigger enough to accommodate the two and also ensure that the temperatures are regulated without any problem. Before going about the implementation it is good for the team to design the backpack taking into account all the aspects which will be encountered during implementation.
On the other hand, the other issue is the closure of the company which was given to design and manufacture the backpack. This will lead to waste of the resources which had been allocated for the task implementation.
It is therefore advisable for the subcontractor to refund part of the money which had been paid, so that another company will take the task from where it was left by the other subcontracto ...

Scope Statement
A. Executive Summary
This project has been initiated to move the current operations to Hangzhou, China to Shanghai. The decision to move was based on two justifications; (1) Riordan’s Chinese partners and their facilities are currently located there and; (2) the Qiantang River which facilitates their shipping needs is located within the city’s limit which is adequate to accommodate the company’s shipping needs.
B. Business Objectives
1. Business Need/Opportunity/Objectives
· Save time and money by eliminating the need to ship materials 180 km to ports in Shanghai, by moving the company's operations to Shanghai.
· An increase in production volume has created the need to use container shipping companies that use ports centrally located in Hong Kong as well as Shanghai resulting in significant cost savings
· Operations can implement a more substantial urban infrastructure
· Better marketing strategy to ship our Chinese products throughout Asia and Europe
· River access to Hangzhou Bay would provide sufficient accommodations to handle the shipping needs
· The overall cost savings and opportunity to better position the shipping far exceed the additional time and effort required with the extra logistical steps
· An alternate solution would include transporting products by trucks to the Shanghai port and then loaded into containers that are shipped directly onto the ships to their final destination.
· Without the move, Riordan Manufacturing runs the risk of remaining rigid in their Operations division and lose the opportunity and ability to expand and gain a greater market share.
2. Product Description
Reduce operational expenses by relocating the current operational shipping facilities to Shanghai where cost savings can be obtained by using the ports that operate directly out of Shanghai and Hong Kong.

Scope changes occur when the request is made to change the project objectives and its scope to accompany needs and objectives that were not originally in the original plan (Arain & Low, 2009). Allowing scope changes when the project have already started usually adds cost, more risks, and longer duration or even project failure if the scope is not managed properly. Scope changes in a project occurs through the following ways; some scope changes may be necessary and minor and thus may not follow the approval procedure, a scope change should be made through a change request form, the form should address specific scope changes to be made, reviewed and authorized, once the change request form has been filled the project manager should pay attention to the nature to make sure if the changes are in scope, where the changes are in the projects lifecycle and which objective or deliverable will be affected. A benefit case should be made to analyses why the changes will be made and what impact they will have on the project timeline, risk, and cost. The Project Manager should send a mail to the project sponsor or through meeting him in person and explaining the importance of the change. Once the change has been approved, it should be documented and the changes controlled through the project phases.
Project timeline changes are the most common problem to a project manager which usually occurs when a project task or activity which is in the critical path takes more time than what was estimated or planned or changes in project scope (Arain & Low, 2009). Timeline changes can be managed through an addition of more resources a good example is when the sponsor demands the project to be finished one month earlier which will need the manager to request for two additional software developers for the remaining part of the project. The second way to manage changes in project timeline is through the critical path, where you add more resources to the tasks in the critical path which will shorten their duration, this is known as crashing the plan. Whenever a project timeline project changes it should be reported to all the project stakeholders and the sponsor through the following ways; providing an updated project plan with all the tasks affected by the project timeline changes, report about your project timeline in the current project status report.
Project budget changes is directed influenced by other changes such as timeline and scope which will make the project to require additional funding from the sponsor, project managers should continuously manage their budget to avoid an over-budget (Arain & Low, 2009), project manager should constantly revisit the project budget especially when other changes such as scope occurs since they direct contribute to the project cost, they should revisit the resources that the project is using, The ...

Select one (1) of the types of project organization that would suit the development of the larger touring class motorcycles.
The project management organization I would use for this instance is pure project management organization. This helps to separate this project from the home company. It will be an independent segment. It will have its own technical staff and administration, which would be linked to the home company's administration. However, these links will not be strong, and it will enjoy some autonomy. This segment will be able to prepare its own reports on how the project is advancing, make minor purchases, and deliveries without consulting the home company. This will be in order to quicken the development of the motorcycles. The project manager is the head of this segment he will bear full responsibility for the project, although he will report to the senior staff at the home company. This decentralization will also lead to better communication in this segment as the project manager will be able to make some decisions without consulting senior staff in ...

Project Description
The project description is a summary of the project and the deliverables or outcomes expected as a result of conducting the project. The project description typically includes a statement of the purpose of the project and the justification for undertaking the project from a business perspective. It also includes project objectives, high-level requirements, and how project success will be measured.
INSERT THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION YOU CREATED IN YOUR PROJECT CHARTER
Project Management Approach
A project management approach or methodology defines the specific way that projects will be managed within an organization. There are a variety of project management methodologies available. The one that is chosen should match the needs of the organization and the characteristics of the project.
Refer to Parts 1 and 2 of the St. Dismas Assisted Living Facility case study. Part 1 provides an overview of the project. Part 2 describes the steps that are being taken to plan the project.
Formulate the project management approach that will be used to conduct the St. Dismas Assisted Living Facility project as follows:
· Describe the similarities and differences between various approaches to managing projects. (3-4 paragraphs)
· Describe the project management approach that will be used for this project. (one page)
Project Assumptions and Constraints
Project assumptions are factors that may be true but are not confirmed and can impact the project. Constraints are factors that impose limits or boundaries on the project.
INSERT THE PROJECT ASSUMPTIONS AND CONSTRAINTS YOU CREATED IN YOUR PROJECT CHARTER
Responsibility Assignment Matrix
A Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) is a tool that is used to document the roles and responsibilities of project resources. A RAM provides role clarity for project team members. One type of RAM, the RACI chart, designates responsibility and authority to project resources at the task level making it clear who is responsible for what and who has decision-making authority.
Refer to Part 1 of the St. Dismas Assisted Living Facility (ALF) project.
Fred Splient, the President of St. Dismas, formed the ALF Project Steering Committee naming key stakeholders to participate. Fred is taking responsibility for managing the project. He has assigned other planning tasks to each member of the committee.
Using the table below, create a RAM:
· In the top row of the RAM (Table 2), add the names and titles of the other members of the ALF Project Steering Committee. In the first column of the RAM (Table 2), add the planning task.

Part-1: Creating a New Plane
Project Title: Creating a New Plane
A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) lists all project duties. WBS is hierarchical and offers logical, ambiguity-free categorization. Activities or deliverables may define these categories. The WBS must represent the approved work. The project's scope statement should be used to create a timetable and cost estimate. Project managers must construct a WBS before developing a strategy and timeline. Developing a WBS and WBS Dictionary will allow the project team to: 1)gather information on the project's work requirements for creating a new plane, 2)divide operations into smaller portions that will fulfill the project's goals, and 3)design the project so that it is proactive and logical from beginning to end.
Before the project begins, the PM has minimal influence. without specifying project scope. Through scope management, the project manager can design and maintain the scope statement. This statement describes the project manager's deliverables. This phase ensures and communicates to project management that only scope-related activity is done. This step helps complete the work.
Planning
Most firms that use project management make their OPA available to project managers. This, along with a Project Charter and Preliminary Project Scope Statement, will help the PM launch this part of the project. The Project Manager will have a Scope Management Plan after this stage. According to the Scope Management Plan, the PM will document, refine, verify, and oversee the project scope.
Define.
Project scope is next. To define project requirements, the project manager must interview all relevant parties. After understanding the project's stakeholders' needs and expectations, the scope can be established by prioritizing outputs. Discussing some options now may be helpful if they need to be documented later. After completing the scope definition, the project manager should conclude the scope statement. This will help in later project stages when making selections and ensuring everyone knows the project's goals.
Create a WBS.
A well-designed WBS should focus on project deliverables, not tasks (WBS). If you don't use the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) as a checklist of activities to do (your project plan will help), you can focus on the WBS's primary purpose: organizing and outlining the project's scope. Work packages should be the foundation of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). These work bundles should help you estimate the project's cost and timeline.
Verification
In "Scope Verification," you'll win stakeholders' formal approval of your project's scope. To acquire this degree of acceptability, you must often undergo Inspection.
Control
Change Integrated Any project changes require a Control Process (ICCP). During Scope Control, you'll address ever.

NURS 6050: Policy and Advocacy for Improving Population Health
Walden University
In 2010 The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted; the hope was to expand access to medical care, make coverage more affordable, and decrease the number of people without medical insurance. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded and improved health insurance coverage in two primary ways. First, the number of individuals receiving insurance coverage grown by increasing access to coverage through Medicaid expansion and providing subsidies to purchase private insurance on the health care exchanges. Second, the ACA upgraded the quality and scope of coverage by improving benefit design, including implementing the essential health benefits (Willison & Singer, 2017). People who did not have coverage through their employer or Medicaid were required to purchase insurance through the Marketplace. The Marketplace was created as a one-stop-shop for people to view multiple plans and purchase insurance. Just because you have access to health care insurance does not mean you are going to receive quality health care (Teitelbaum, 2018).
Both parties have asked that the ACA be repealed or replaced for multiple reasons. Every Republican presidential candidate for 2016 has called for the repeal of the ACA. Some, but not all, Republican candidates have proposed health policies that they would like to put in place after repeal, but there is no broad agreement on a replacement for the ACA (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). The federal government would spend $90.9 billion less on health care for the nonelderly in 2021 if the ACA were repealed (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). State governments as a whole would spend $5.2 billion more on health care for the nonelderly in 2021 if the ACA were repealed (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). Healthcare is a priority to many Americans for obvious reasons; it was more costly for those with preexisting conditions before the ACA to obtain Medical Insurance. With the ACA the income guidelines for Medicaid where changed so additional people qualified that didn’t prior. As a Behavioral Health Nurse, I am a fan of anyone and everyone having access to Healthcare Services. I have seen to many times my patient not have the money for their medications because insurance was canceled so they go off their medications, they become unstable and ended up in the Emergency Department and admitted Inpatient, costing more money, hurting themselves and their loved ones.
Politicians are aware that election time is the best time to play the tug of war game with the heavy ticket items to capture someone votes. Republicans ran hard on promises to get rid of the law in every election since it passed in 2010. But when the GOP finally got control of the House, the Senate and the White House in 2017, Republicans found

I have worked in an outpatient behavioral health clinic for the past seven years with many different providers. I live in a rural community, many patients wait six to twelve months to be seen. Patients being treated for Attention Deficit Disorder must be officially tested before being seen by a Psychologist. For this discussion board post, I have changed the name of my patient to Paul to ensure patient confidentially. The provider I worked with this particular patient will also be referred to as PMHNP to ensure provider confidentiality.
Paul was a ten-year-old Caucasian male referred to our clinic diagnosed per DSM criteria, confirmed via Psychologist testing with ADHD. When he saw the Psychologist, he was also diagnosed with mild depression and anxiety. He struggled with concentration, hyperactivity, impulse control, and disorganization. He presented to his appointment with his mother and father, clean, well-nourished, pleasant, interactive with staff, reported no medication allergies, current medication Zyrtec for seasonal allergies. Paul just had his well-child exam and is current on vaccinations and his primary care provider completed lab work to include CBC, CMP, TSH, Vit D, B12, and A1C, all have returned normal. Family history reported father has a history of ADHD (never medicated), brother has a history of depression and anxiety (never medicated treating with psychotherapy), no other significant family history to report. Paul’s current weight at his appointment was 30kg.
PMHNP spent one hour with Paul and his parents for the initial new patient appointment (Thursday). It was decided Paul would be prescribed Strattera (atomoxetine) 40mg once a day for one week then increase to 80mg once a day. I returned to work on Monday and received a call from Paul’s mom, she said he was acting strange. He was tearful, had been in his room with the door closed for most of the weekend, she stated on Sunday she went into his room and he was crying and said he was just thinking about dying and his parents dying. She stated he had already had his meds Sunday so she kept him with her that entire day and made Sunday night a campout night in the Livingroom so he would think it was fun and she could keep a close eye on him. I had a cancelation that morning for him to come to see PMHNP and he was in to see her within twenty minutes and removed from Strattera. His parents decided medications were no longer the route they wanted to try for treatment and a referral was made for psychotherapy.
The only medication Paul takes on occasion is Zyrtec which is in an antihistamine drug class, Strattera is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor; there is no known drug interaction between the two medications. Reflecting on his age and the medication, Strattera has a black box labeled for suicidal ideation with adolescents dia.

Scope changes occur when the request is made to change the project objectives and its scope to accompany needs and objectives that were not originally in the original plan (Arain & Low, 2009). Allowing scope changes when the project have already started usually adds cost, more risks, and longer duration or even project failure if the scope is not managed properly. Scope changes in a project occurs through the following ways; some scope changes may be necessary and minor and thus may not follow the approval procedure, a scope change should be made through a change request form, the form should address specific scope changes to be made, reviewed and authorized, once the change request form has been filled the project manager should pay attention to the nature to make sure if the changes are in scope, where the changes are in the projects lifecycle and which objective or deliverable will be affected. A benefit case should be made to analyses why the changes will be made and what impact they will have on the project timeline, risk, and cost. The Project Manager should send a mail to the project sponsor or through meeting him in person and explaining the importance of the change. Once the change has been approved, it should be documented and the changes controlled through the project phases.
Project timeline changes are the most common problem to a project manager which usually occurs when a project task or activity which is in the critical path takes more time than what was estimated or planned or changes in project scope (Arain & Low, 2009). Timeline changes can be managed through an addition of more resources a good example is when the sponsor demands the project to be finished one month earlier which will need the manager to request for two additional software developers for the remaining part of the project. The second way to manage changes in project timeline is through the critical path, where you add more resources to the tasks in the critical path which will shorten their duration, this is known as crashing the plan. Whenever a project timeline project changes it should be reported to all the project stakeholders and the sponsor through the following ways; providing an updated project plan with all the tasks affected by the project timeline changes, report about your project timeline in the current project status report.
Project budget changes is directed influenced by other changes such as timeline and scope which will make the project to require additional funding from the sponsor, project managers should continuously manage their budget to avoid an over-budget (Arain & Low, 2009), project manager should constantly revisit the project budget especially when other changes such as scope occurs since they direct contribute to the project cost, they should revisit the resources that the project is using, The ...

Select one (1) of the types of project organization that would suit the development of the larger touring class motorcycles.
The project management organization I would use for this instance is pure project management organization. This helps to separate this project from the home company. It will be an independent segment. It will have its own technical staff and administration, which would be linked to the home company's administration. However, these links will not be strong, and it will enjoy some autonomy. This segment will be able to prepare its own reports on how the project is advancing, make minor purchases, and deliveries without consulting the home company. This will be in order to quicken the development of the motorcycles. The project manager is the head of this segment he will bear full responsibility for the project, although he will report to the senior staff at the home company. This decentralization will also lead to better communication in this segment as the project manager will be able to make some decisions without consulting senior staff in ...

Project Description
The project description is a summary of the project and the deliverables or outcomes expected as a result of conducting the project. The project description typically includes a statement of the purpose of the project and the justification for undertaking the project from a business perspective. It also includes project objectives, high-level requirements, and how project success will be measured.

Project Management Approach
A project management approach or methodology defines the specific way that projects will be managed within an organization. There are a variety of project management methodologies available. The one that is chosen should match the needs of the organization and the characteristics of the project.
Refer to Parts 1 and 2 of the St. Dismas Assisted Living Facility case study. Part 1 provides an overview of the project. Part 2 describes the steps that are being taken to plan the project.
Formulate the project management approach that will be used to conduct the St. Dismas Assisted Living Facility project as follows:
· Describe the similarities and differences between various approaches to managing projects. (3-4 paragraphs)
· Describe the project management approach that will be used for this project. (one page)
Project Assumptions and Constraints
Project assumptions are factors that may be true but are not confirmed and can impact the project. Constraints are factors that impose limits or boundaries on the project.
INSERT THE PROJECT ASSUMPTIONS AND CONSTRAINTS YOU CREATED IN YOUR PROJECT CHARTER
Responsibility Assignment Matrix
A Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) is a tool that is used to document the roles and responsibilities of project resources. A RAM provides role clarity for project team members. One type of RAM, the RACI chart, designates responsibility and authority to project resources at the task level making it clear who is responsible for what and who has decision-making authority.
Refer to Part 1 of the St. Dismas Assisted Living Facility (ALF) project.
Fred Splient, the President of St. Dismas, formed the ALF Project Steering Committee naming key stakeholders to participate. Fred is taking responsibility for managing the project. He has assigned other planning tasks to each member of the committee.
Using the table below, create a RAM:
· In the top row of the RAM (Table 2), add the names and titles of the other members of the ALF Project Steering Committee. In the first column of the RAM (Table 2), add the planning task.

Part-1: Creating a New Plane
Project Title: Creating a New Plane
A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) lists all project duties. WBS is hierarchical and offers logical, ambiguity-free categorization. Activities or deliverables may define these categories. The WBS must represent the approved work. The project's scope statement should be used to create a timetable and cost estimate. Project managers must construct a WBS before developing a strategy and timeline. Developing a WBS and WBS Dictionary will allow the project team to: 1)gather information on the project's work requirements for creating a new plane, 2)divide operations into smaller portions that will fulfill the project's goals, and 3)design the project so that it is proactive and logical from beginning to end.
Before the project begins, the PM has minimal influence. without specifying project scope. Through scope management, the project manager can design and maintain the scope statement. This statement describes the project manager's deliverables. This phase ensures and communicates to project management that only scope-related activity is done. This step helps complete the work.
Planning
Most firms that use project management make their OPA available to project managers. This, along with a Project Charter and Preliminary Project Scope Statement, will help the PM launch this part of the project. The Project Manager will have a Scope Management Plan after this stage. According to the Scope Management Plan, the PM will document, refine, verify, and oversee the project scope.
Define.
Project scope is next. To define project requirements, the project manager must interview all relevant parties. After understanding the project's stakeholders' needs and expectations, the scope can be established by prioritizing outputs. Discussing some options now may be helpful if they need to be documented later. After completing the scope definition, the project manager should conclude the scope statement. This will help in later project stages when making selections and ensuring everyone knows the project's goals.
Create a WBS.
A well-designed WBS should focus on project deliverables, not tasks (WBS). If you don't use the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) as a checklist of activities to do (your project plan will help), you can focus on the WBS's primary purpose: organizing and outlining the project's scope. Work packages should be the foundation of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). These work bundles should help you estimate the project's cost and timeline.
Verification
In "Scope Verification," you'll win stakeholders' formal approval of your project's scope. To acquire this degree of acceptability, you must often undergo Inspection.
Control
Change Integrated Any project changes require a Control Process (ICCP). During Scope Control, you'll address ever.

You will have to address sensitive data and transit issues of the client data using the HR applications stored in the cloud, and provide a life cycle management report that includes solutions to the cloud computing architect of your company.
Software Development Life Cycle
Technology development and implementation usually follow a software development life cycle (SDLC) methodology. This approach ensures accuracy of information for analysis and decision making, as well as appropriate resources for effective technology management.
You and your team members will use components of the SDLC methodology to develop a
life cycle management report
for the cloud computing architect of a company. This is a group exercise, representing the kind of collaboration often required in the cybersecurity technology community.
There are 11 steps to lead you through this project. Similar steps are typically used in organizational SDLC projects. Most steps should take no more than two hours to complete, and the entire project should take no more than three weeks to complete. Begin with the workplace scenario, and then continue with Step 1: “Initiating the Project.”
Life Cycle Management Report:
A 10- to 15-page double-spaced Word document on data protection techniques for a cloud-based service with citations in APA format. The page count does not include figures or tables. There is no penalty for using additional pages if you need them. Include a minimum of six references. Include a reference list with the report.

Week 6
COLLAPSE
My own attitude has changed from lack of understanding to enlightenment over the years. In elementary school I never experienced students with disabilities in my classrooms, growing up. But as the years went on and legislation changed students with disabilities started trickling into general education classrooms. They were always ignored by other students and often times had an aide to assist them with assignments. As an adult my heart has opened up to accept all types of people. In the Pennhurst documentary, it was reiterated, they are just people (Baldini, 1968). Which is my outlook on how to treat everyone. Every single person is a human being, treat them the way you wish to be treated. Everyone no matter their race, disability or socio-economic status deserves to be treated humanely.
As an educator I have worked with several different types of students. Students from low socio-economic areas, behavioral issues, vision impairments, hearing impairments, with autism, hyper activity and down syndrome, and with all of these students I have given them my best effort to show them that they are students first. Slavin and Schunk (2017) said it best, “Each student has many characteristics, and the disability is only one of them. To define the child in terms of the disability does him or her an injustice” (p. 235). It is our role as an educator to incorporate different learning styles to give each student, regardless of disabilities, the education that they deserve.
Welcoming students with disabilities into my classroom will be an important aspect in my role as an educator. Allowing each student to feel love and acceptance by peers is important for any students success. Van Brummelen (2009) states, “ It is important to appreciate students with special needs for who they are. Always look beyond their disabilities and teach them as whole persons” (p. 208). Being an advocate for my students with learning disabilities will garner them respect and dignity that they need to be self sufficient. In the Pennhurst documentary, the children did not have complete proper advocacy from the people that worked with them. They were simply shuffled along and not given the proper education and care that they needed to be self-sufficient (Baldini, 1968). “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked” (Psalm 82:3-4, New International Version). It is our Godly duty to defend individuals who can not defend themselves. In His eyes we are all created equal and in that we all deserve equal treatment and opportunities.

Melissa is a 15-year-old high school student. Over the last week.docxwkyra78
Melissa is a 15-year-old high school student. Over the last week, she had been feeling tired and found it difficult to stay awake in class. By the time the weekend had arrived, she developed a sore throat that made it difficult to eat and even drink. Melissa was too tired to get out of bed, and she said her head ached. On Monday morning, her mother took her to her doctor. Upon completing the physical exam, he told Melissa the lymph nodes were enlarged in her neck and she had a fever. He ordered blood tests and told Melissa he thought she had mononucleosis, a viral infection requiring much bed rest.
Innate and adaptive immune defenses work collectively in destroying invasive microorganisms. What is the interaction between macrophages and T lymphocytes during the presentation of antigen?
Melissa’s illness is caused by a virus. Where are type I interferons produced, and why are they important in combating viral infections?
Humoral immunity involves the activation of B lymphocytes and production of antibodies. What are the general mechanisms of action that make antibodies a key component of an immune response?

Measurement of the angle θ For better understanding .docxwkyra78
Measurement of the angle θ
For better understanding I am showing you a different particle track diagram bellow. Where at
point C particle 𝜋 − 𝑎𝑛𝑑 Σ− are created and the Σ− decays into 𝜋 ∓ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 K− particles
The angle θ between the π− and Σ− momentum vectors can be determined by drawing tangents
to the π− and Σ− tracks at the point of the Σ− decay. We can then measure the angle between
the tangents using a protractor. Alternative method which does not require a protractor is also
possible. Let AC and BC be the tangents to the π− and Σ− tracks respectively. Drop a
perpendicular (AB) and measure the distances AB and BC. The ratio AB/BC gives the tangent of
the angle180◦−θ. It should be noted that only some of the time will the angle θ exceed 90◦ as
shown here.
Determining the uncertainty of Measurements
In part B, It is asked to estimate the uncertainty of your measurements of 𝜃 and r.
Uncertainty of measurement is the doubt that exists about the result of any measurement. You
might think that well-made rulers, clocks and thermometers should be trustworthy, and give
the right answers. But for every measurement - even the most careful - there is always a margin
of doubt.
It is important not to confuse the terms ‘error’ and ‘uncertainty’.
Error is the difference between the measured value and the ‘true value’ of the thing being
measured.
Uncertainty is a quantification of the doubt about the measurement result
Since there is always a margin of doubt about any measurement, we need to ask ‘How big is the
margin?’ and ‘How bad is the doubt?’ Thus, two numbers are really needed in order to quantify
an uncertainty. One is the width of the margin, or interval. The other is a confidence level, and
states how sure we are that the ‘true value’ is within that margin.
You can increase the amount of information you get from your measurements by taking a
number of readings and carrying out some basic statistical calculations. The two most
important statistical calculations are to find the average or arithmetic mean, and the standard
deviation for a set of numbers.
The ‘true’ value for the standard deviation can only be found from a very large (infinite) set of
readings. From a moderate number of values, only an estimate of the standard deviation can be
found. The symbol s is usually used for the estimated standard deviation.
Suppose you have a set of n readings. Start by finding the average:
For the set of readings x={16, 19, 18, 16, 17, 19, 20, 15, 17 and 13}, the average is �̅� =
∑ 𝑥𝑖
𝑛
=
17.
Next find (𝑥𝑖 − �̅�)
2
Then 𝑠 = √
(𝑥𝑖−�̅�)

𝑛−1
= 2.21
Lifetime calculation
In part C you are asked to determine the life time of the neutral particles from their
momentums.
The Σ− lifetime can be approximately determined using the measured values of the Σ− track
lengths. The average momentum of the Σ− particle can be found from its initial and fin

Meaning-Making Forums 1-4 are this course's unique final project.
Be fully engaged in Phase Two!
After reviewing the readings, presentations, lecture notes, articles, and web-engagements, and previous assignments, artificially move your predetermined careseeker (i.e., Crossroads’ Careseekers: Bruce, Joshua, Brody, Justin, or Melissa) through Phase Two.
NOTE: These research-based forums require that you draw upon ALL
of the course readings and learning activities to date, in order to substantively develop each phase in our
Solution
-based, Short-term, Pastoral Counseling (SbStPC) process. Noticeably support each core assertion.
Rapport and Relational Alignment.
Briefly discuss how you will continue to build rapport and shift your relational style in order to best align with the careseeker’s style (i.e., use DISC language) and current behavioral position (i.e., attending, blaming, or willing).
Phase Two Distinctive Features.
Narrate movement of careseeker through Phase Two’s distinctive features (i.e., purpose, goal, chief aim, role/responsibility, use of guiding assumptions) and apply pertinent insights and techniques from ALL the readings, previous assignments, and the Bible.
Supportive Feedback Break.
What portrait, definition(s), key thought(s), and/or assessment insight from the
Quick Reference Guide
might be utilized in the supportive feedback technique?
Phase Two Marker.
Describe a marker that indicates you have collaboratively ‘imagineered” a picture of life without the problem. In what way does this marker indicate the careseeker is in a willing position and ready for Phase Three?
Food for Thought:
When learning a new people skill or counseling technique, is it normal to “feel” awkward and fake? Use at least 1 example and thoughtfully explain how this “feeling” might be normalized.
TIPS:
Carefully Follow Meaning-Making Forum Guidelines & Tips!
Make sure to use headings (5) so that the most inattentive reader may easily follow your thoughts.
Use the annotated outline approach. Bullets should have concise, complete, well-developed sentences or paragraphs.
Foster a “noble-minded” climate for investigating claims through well-supported core assertions (i.e., consider the validation pattern of the Bereans; Acts 17:11).
Noticeably support assertions to facilitate further investigation and to avoid the appearance of plagiarism.
Since you have the required materials (e.g.,
Masterpiece)
, abridge any related citations (Nichols, p. 12) and do not list the required source in a References’ section.
Secondary sources must follow current APA guidelines for citations and References.
Make every effort to prove that you care about the subject matter by proofreading to eliminate grammar and spelling distractions.

Project Title: Michael Joseph Place, The place to be
Project Start Date: 25/7/2018
Projected Finish Date: 25/12/2018
Budget Information: $ 4,500.00
Project Manager: Student name,[email protected], 210- 105 - 6676
Business Need
The project manager will be hosting an evening lounge event that will be targeting the clientele to an upscale lounge to be built in downtown. Through such an event the city will have a positive exposure.
There will be need for effective marketing, music, modern décor and most likely investors. The menu for food and drinks will need to be within budget. The venue needs to have amiable space and adequate seats for all guests.
The first step to this project involves coming up with a plan on a piece of paper. Once this is done the next step will involve selection of vendors to various goods and services. Once everything has been put to perspective the next stage will be to involve investors who will include local business owners. These investors will be encouraged to do so with the exchange for them to market and advertise their products at the event. We will have three packages for investors including Silver, Gold and Platinum packages.
Project Objectives
The proposal is to have a social entertainment evening lounge in Chicago. The project managers will be showcasing the new concept of entertainment by holding a series of events known as “The Place to be!”
· The events will be used to showcase the atmosphere that the new lounge will be offering
· The events will offer the professional audiences an opportunity to network while at the same time being entertained.
· The events will be targeting an audience of 150 attendants
· To have an environment where attendants can dance, dine and drink socially while discussing business.
Approach
This project will be managed in accordance with the PMI approach as modified.
Assumptions/Constraints/Dependencies
The assumption is that with the provision of an exquisite and upscale venue that is mature in Chicago, IL, will be successful due to the fact that there is no such a venue within a 100 mile radius.
One of the likely constraint is finding a venue that grabs attention of the targeted crowd.
The success of these events depends on attracting two sets of individuals. One of them is investors and the other is private professionals who will attend a social event at night.
Initial Risk Factors
· Obtaining a liquor license on time for the event is the major risk factor.
· Failure of attendees despite investing money and time is another risk.
· Failing to complete the organizational plans within 30 days before the event series begin.
· Not attracting any viable investors
Regulatory cost/impact
One of the needed licensing is from the city council where I will be required to get a special event license. This will enable us to have alcohol i.

Mediation

AMU

Mediation
Recently, I had a dispute with a friend based on sharing of roles and duties at work. If I were to use a mediation to solve the conflict I would have used facilitative mediation instead of evaluative mediation. Facilitative mediation refers to the types of solving conflicts where the mediator creates a process to assist the parties in reaching into a mutual agreement. Evaluative mediation on the other hand refers to the type of mediation where the judge helps the parties in reaching into a resolution through using the weakness of the case (Shrout & Bolger, 2017). The nature of the dispute plays a very huge role when choosing the type of mediation style to use. Since some cases can not fit well or makes it hard to find a solution when using a certain mediation style. For instance work related disputes and family related disputes require mediation that won’t seem to favor one party.
I would use transformative mediation, since it is mostly bases on improving the personal power of each party (Folberg & Taylor, 2016). Also transformative mediation mainly helps in creating a sense of understanding between the two parties through communication so as to solve the dispute. And lastly the reason why I would use the mediation is because; the process that is used does not favor one party. During the process, the mediator listens to both parties and from this he or she is able to help in making the two understand each other and be able to come into a mutual agreement.

Response 1 PD
Question 1
A set of beliefs, norms and values that is shared by a group, culture is a systemic sense that can create a common commitment to an organization’s mission. With identifying markers that extend beyond the individual, it can be represented in a fabric of shared themes and feelings. Whether displayed in forms of dress, symbols, verbal phrases or typical behaviors, its permeance can be silent in its mode of action, yet quite visible to internal and external stakeholders (Daft, 2018).
Serving two fundamental and critical functions, the culture of an organization can be a catalyst in uniting members in how they relate to one another within the organization and how the members follow the same process in relation to the outside environment (Daft, 2018). However, although it is often associated with ethical decision making (Kara, Rojas-Mendez & Turan), the element of inequality can create fear and discourse if an unrealistic and bias culture themes are dictated, thus resulting in disagreement or conflict with management. Therefore, the perception of stakeholders or groups of interest regarding the cultural practices of the organization may not be entirely correct (Gonzalez-Rodriguez, Diaz-Fernández & Biagio, 2019).
Directly related to the perception of the value system of the organization and its management, the acceptable cultural differences that shape the internal behavior of members can have an impact in external relationships (Gonzalez-Rodriguez, Diaz-Fernández & Biagio, 2019). However, as Daft (2018) noted, a mechanistic or controlling system may block any organic input,.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Title: Project Management Plan Proposal Presentation
Description:
identify a realistic opportunity from the workplace that would
require a project. Through completion of the assignment, must
demonstrate their understanding of how to develop a high-level
project plan.
Instructions:
1. Select an organization
The organization is a depot maintenance organization for
7. military aircraft. A squadron provides a complete overhaul of
F15 fighter jets for the stateside bases. which plans the schedule
of the aircraft and create a budget to fit all of the repairs needed
plus any unexpected issues once maintenance starts.
2. Identify a project for the organization that must be
completed. This project will be used for the remaining Team
assignments. Additionally, the plan will serve as an agreement
between the following parties: Project Sponsor, Steering
Committee, Project Manager, Project Team, and other personnel
associated with and/or affected by the project.
The project is to find a way to cut down another 15% of the
time while maintaining the same workload. In just the rewire
portion of the modification the aircraft will have thousands of
hours of work that has to be completed with in roughly 44 days.
This company started out with the rewire modification taking 77
days and over the past few years have cut down days and hours
of processes to get the aircraft to the other part of the full
overhaul faster and back to its home station.
3.Create a 17- to 25-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® with
speaker notes of the project plan proposal for the identified
project using the Project Management Plan Presentation
template provided (ATTACHED). Be sure to provide a
definition of the project, including the project's goals and
objectives.
