...Course Project Part 2—Due Week 4 In project Part 2, we create a schedule and accurate budget for your project. This builds upon the assignment you completed in Part 1. You should correct errors in that assignment before continuing on to this part. You need to focus on detailed cost estimating, scheduling, and cost justification. Estimating a project budget includes cost estimates for each activity in the WBS with specific assumptions made during the estimating process, as well as quantities, unit prices, hourly rates for tasks, and accumulated totals. You must justify all of your costs; this includes direct, indirect, variable, fixed, and overhead. It is ok if these are all included in burdened labor rates. This WBS must be created in MS Project using the automatic scheduling feature, indenting to produce subtasks, and allowing the software to create the WBS numbers. Numbers inserted in the file because they look right is not correct. You should include the internal resources in your project plan with a cost assigned to them. As you may remember from PROJ586 and will see later this information is necessary to use earned value to track the project. This may not be an additional cost to your company but it is a cost of doing the project. You must use a project estimating process. A functional estimate is based upon types of purchases and expenditures, and general labor for the time the entire project was in progress. If this is the way you estimate the cost of your...

...CP-2 Theme Park PM592 Project Cost and Schedule Control Oct 21, 2012 Introduction The construction of the new theme park project is laid out for 180 days of construction to finish. This project has a start Date of Monday April 4, 2008. The preliminary cost is $4,449,920.00 and with a completion date of December 19, 2008. The theme park will include a Ferris wheel, Rope course, Climbing walls, Carousel, Bowling, Go carts, and a Mini golf. The desired walk through date is December 18, 2008 with a grand opening on December 19, 2008. Executive Summary It has been 6 months since the start of the project and we now have 40% of the tasks complete. The actual cost so far to date is $1,230,683.00. There are many of the scheduled tasks behind in this schedule. The entire project thus far is behind schedule with a work performance index of .66 and 12% behind schedule. There are corrective actions that can get this project beck on schedule at minimal cost. This project should not be abandoned and should continue forward with the support of the investors. Schedule 1 This data is being supplied from MS Project. The WBS includes all work that has to be done to complete the project from start to finish. The current WBS includes all the data and baseline, review date and the current date is set to October, 1, 2008. The project start date is April, 14, 2008. Nearly 6 months into the project it is set at 40% complete. This shows the project is behind schedule. The...

...Brittany PSY/265 Week 1 CheckPoint 2 Critical thinking skills are essential to every part of our lives, however they are particularly important when discussing sex. A person’s sexual decisions can have a huge impact on their life (pregnancy, disease and relationships) and should not be made without deep thought and consideration of all possible outcomes. I believe one of the most important critical thinking tools regarding sex is skepticism. People will say anything to try to convince another to have sex. An individual must be able to see through lies and sugar-coated words to see the truth and the intent behind the proposal. That is not to say that all sex should be had only if the parties involved are planning a relationship, but both parties should be able to see clearly what the parameters are. It is also essential to examine all arguments, from all sides, and then form one’s own opinions. Different organizations have different goals (e.g. pro-life vs. pro-choice groups) and therefore will distribute information that is favorable to their opinion. In order to make educated and informed decisions, one must examine all arguments and weigh them against individual values and morals. One organization should not dictate the sexual activities of a person or persons. Finally, it is very dangerous to over simplify or over generalize arguments. Take the issue of abortion, for example. Simply saying that all abortions are wrong (or ok) is not right. Every person has to...

...From Capital Vol 1 In chapter four Marx says that the starting point of capital is through commodies. Marx states “from the exchange of various use-values, and consider only the economic forms produced by this process of circulation, we find its final result to be money” (329). Marx explains his idea with two kinds of circulation which are C-M-C and M-C-M. C-M-C stans for commodities transformed into money. In senario the money that is obtained from the commodity s used to get another commodity. This is in terms as an exchange like if a person where to sell a shirt for $20 dollars, and then use that money to buy bread. M-C-M stands for buying in order to sell meaning that a commodity turns into money. The difference is that the end money has “surplus value (332)”. Marxis states that the final M in M-C-M' is “M'= M+Δ= the orignal sum advanced, plus increment”(332). M-C-M represent modern capitalism because the end result is money. Meaning in the end of M-C-M we exchange money for money. There is a constant cycle but the the beginning point is money, therefore in reality the M-C-M is the general formula for capital. Aristole says states that there is an opposition between this cycle. He calls the conflict between this cycle Oeconomic to Chrematistic. As stated by Aristole Oeconomic is “True wealth consist as such values in use; for the quantity of possessions of this kind, capable of making life pleasant, is not unlimited”(333). The opposition is Chrematistic where it...

... company called Digital Research. In this article it tells a story about the life and death of Gary who was on the brink of discovering untold amounts of unknown digital software for the pc (personal computer). The note on page 14 of the Computer Structure and Logics textbook tells about a time that Digital Research refused an offer from IBM ( and that opened the door for a company called Microsoft which, caused Digital Research to lose in the race of software development. The article on Gary A. Kildall was a very enlightening read. This was a good article because it tells about an intelligent man that created the basis of our pc operating systems today. The software that CP/M / Digital Research created is great and all should know about it Without it we may not have gotten as far as we have with technology today. This article plus the “gray” note on page 14 tells a story about a man who took great interest in his work. When IBM tried to sell him short or give him an offer to work for them he told them that he didn’t like the offer and he turned them down. Well this gave Microsoft a chance to come in and take the deal, but what’s funny about that is Microsoft went and reverse engineered the Digital Research tech and created a copy of it and sold it to IBM. Although at this time no one was charged for any illegal acts (maybe because it was uncommon to be able to do what Microsoft had done). I do feel two different...

...Hypervisors 1 Runner Header: Hypervisors Hypervisors CIS 512 December 16, 2012 Hypervisors 2 In today’s world technology has advance in numerous ways. Technology has given the capabilities to receive, fix, and move objects without being present. This is the concept of virtualization. “Virtualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as an operating system, a server, a storage device or network resources”. The virtualization innovation has assisted companies in a positive way, but also can inflict negative wounds to the organization. Virtualization is a proven software technology that is rapidly transforming the IT landscape and fundamentally changing the way that people compute. The 1960s was when virtualization was first deployed by IBM, itts main purpose was to operate mainframe hardware through separating them into virtual machine. In the 1980s and 1990s virtualization was not needed due to the growing numbers of desktop computing and x86 servers. New issues came to rise such as soaring maintenance and managing cost which lead to the creation of virtualization for x86 platform. Virtualization significantly drops general IT costs. Virtualization permits you to run several operating systems on a single computer. In July 2006 Microsoft made public a free Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 which is a windows hosted virtualization program. The latest version is combined with Windows 7 operating system (http://www.infobarrel.com/History_of_Virtualization)...

...Robert W. Morley NT1210 October 20, 2012 Week 5 Essay VMware has been the market leader in virtualization products for many years now. Microsoft with their “slow but steady” pace in the field has defiantly taken some major leaps and bounds in their offerings to the world of virtualization now. The two solutions that shall be discussed here are VMware’s vSphere 5 and Microsoft’s Hyper-V. While both are great products, and share many of the same basic capabilities, pricing and limitations on said capabilities is what will ultimately separate these two from one another. VMware as stated above has been the industry leader for years when it came to virtualization whether on a single workstation or across an entire network. It has a very easy and logical interface that can be quickly learned by most in a very short time, assuming that the proper networking, deployment, and OS knowledge is already present. VMware’s vSphere 5 does have pricing attached to it, opposed to Microsoft’s Hyper-V which is free and integrates seamlessly into current Window OS configurations. The price for management is not free on either however, and this is where VMware seems to shine with its lower pricing structure. VMware does also offer a bundle/kit pricing where Microsoft does not currently offer that option for the Hyper-V. Virtual migration features will be the next biggest contrast between these two virtualization giants. VMware offers automated live migrations, power management, and storage...

...4. Application group An application group contains the storage management attributes of and index fields for the data that you load into OnDemand. When you load a report into OnDemand, you must identify the application group where OnDemand will load the index data and store the documents. An application group is a collection of one or more OnDemand applications with common indexing and storage management attributes. You typically group several reports in an application group so that users can access the information contained in the reports with a single query. All of the applications in the application group must be indexed on at least one of the same fields, for example, customer name, account number, and date. 5. Folder A folder is the user’s way to query and retrieve data stored in OnDemand. A folder provides users with a convenient way to find related information stored in OnDemand, regardless of the source of the information or how the data was prepared. A folder allows an administrator to set up a common query screen for several application groups that might use different indexing schemes, so that a user can retrieve the data with a single query. For example, a folder called “Student Information” might contain transcripts, bills, and grades, which represent information stored in different application groups, defined in different applications, and created by different programs. 6. Storage set: A storage set contains one or more storage nodes that can be used by several application...

I will need an extended period of laborious cogitation to assimilate the missive. This doesn't make any sense - bad statement. d. The number 2 is odd. Are we talking about an even number? I believe your confusion comes from the fact that 2 is a prime number, but it is still even. It is the only even number that is prime – false statement. e. If you believe in evolution, then your ancestors were filthy apes. There are two kinds of people in the world: - one is god prayer and the next is science believer. If you support the statement from the point of scientific theory of evolution by Darwin, then yes our ancestors are filthy apes, whereas if you think form the side of god’s prayer then the statement is false – good statement. f.

...receives it. And also some other facts which should be considered like life expectancy, importance, age etc. when deciding on whom to donate the heart to. He’s cause for damage to the heart was the steroids, of which he was unaware of the consequences of taking the steroids at the time he took so there wasn’t any sort of health irresponsibility known otherwise. His chances to live 10-15 more years are very high so it’s one point investing in him. He has a family to take care of, wife and the 3 kids who he has to support till they are on their feet and so forth. He also has been a good supporting father as he’s already being supporting their dreams career wise and the future. So my first choice with all confidence would be Jerry. The number 2 choice is Ozzie because as LONG as he does not get back on his old ways HE does hold out some hope on society as a whole as long he does NOT revert back and does good in society by helping out and he no longer does any drugs - he really can have a useful and a prosperous and productive life. His chances of living after a successful heart transplant are another 10 years but only if he stays off the drugs and which is not really guaranteed but if he does he can be a very good mentor and a coach or a guidance for teens with troubled life as they are on drugs already. Since Ozzie have seen the side effects and losses because of the drugs, he can let the teens know it too and...
