...for a task. 2. Under what circumstances would you turn off effort driven scheduling? b) A circumstance in which I would turn off the effort driven scheduling is in complex tasks? The reason why is because it requires highly skilled resources or they could be very complex in general. So if you add more tasks it would slow down the team rather than speeding it up. 3. Use a real-world example of when you would make a task as a Fixed Duration type task? c) The real world example of when I would make a task as a fixed duration type task is about painting my house. If I needed to us a painter to paint the bedroom of a house for 4 days, which would be a total of 32 hours. But the other painter broke his arm and isn’t able to complete the second bedroom so I would have to assign the same painter to the second room. I could assign the task of the painter that broke his arm as part time (50%) to a total of 16 hours. 4. What is the formula for calculating duration? d) The formula for calculating duration is Duration = work/units 5. What are the eight preset work contours (hint: In the Task Usage view right click on a resource name an open the assignment information box) and what are the procedures in applying them to a resource on a task? e) Flat: This is a default contour that has an even distribution of work. f) Back-loaded: This sets the peak activity to happen at the end of the project. g) Front-loaded: This set...

...Desire and Demand John Ashberry’s The Painter allowed open ended thoughts when writing this poem. Ashberry repeats the words “canvas,” “buildings,” “brush,” “subject,” and “prayer” each seven times throughout the entire poem; he used the word “portrait” eight times. This allowed the reader to develop his own thoughts and ideas of what the poem could be about. In this analysis Ashberry’s poem was created on the basics of derivative art; he portrays a situation where the artist’s creativity conflicted with the demands of the people (meaning the people from the “buildings”). They said to “try using the brush/as a means to an end. Select, for a portrait,/Something less angry and large, and more subject/to a painter’s moods, or perhaps, to a prayer (Lines 9-12).” In the poem, the author presents the struggle for the artist who wants to present the sea instead of just painting it. The author seemingly lionizes the painter’s struggle in finding the most creative and artistic way to display the sea. Quoting “nature, not art, might usurp the canvas (Line 14).” Summing up the poem, ultimately the author displays that the struggle would clash with what the community wanted. Art is a display of one’s self but viewed by that of the public. Interpreting this poem was very complicated. Summarizing the events of the poem, the author first identifies the painter, the buildings and the sea (as if they connect or have some time of relation). Then the painter positions himself between the symbolic...

...Discuss Browning’s Presentation of Failure in ‘Pictor Ignotus’. Robert Browning’s ‘Pictor Ignotus’, which is Latin for ‘unknown painter’, is a poem detailing the thoughts of an early renaissance painter. The speaker is an old, traditional artist who is struggling to compete with the younger painters of the day and who seeks to explain his perceived lack of success. Browning explores the effects of fame, criticism and, crucially, failure on the anonymous artist whose thoughts are scrutinised as he discusses his life and work. Browning conveys to the reader the underlying bitterness of the unknown painter and his anger at the sense of failure which he feels. The dissatisfaction of the artist is made clear throughout the poem through his own speech. In describing how he chose his ‘portion’ in life, he also expresses the pain it now causes him as his ‘heart sinks’ whilst he paints repetitive religious works, an occupation forced by his failure to become a commercial success in the competitive art world of renaissance Italy. His bitterness s further emphasised through his aggressive manner of speech described by Browning’s use of sibilance. The use of sibilance, ‘saddens while it soothes’, gives the words of the painter a malicious edge as they are spat out venomously showing his frustration at his failure. The speaker’s asperity is also illustrated by his scornful remarks about his contemporaries. He belittles the success of another, younger artist whom he sarcastically alludes...

...resources assigned to it. When this is done, it does not affect the total amount of work for a task. 2) Under what circumstances would you turn off effort driven scheduling? One circumstance would be with complex tasks. These require highly skilled resources or are very complex in general. In this case, adding more tasks would slow down the team rather then speeding it up. Another circumstance is when there is a uncertain or undetermined amount of work for a task. 3) Use a real-world example of when you would make a task as a Fixed Duration type task? An example of this if you needed to use a painter to paint the bedroom of a house for 4 days, which would be a grand total of 32 hours. The other painter broke his arm and is unable to paint the second bedroom so you need to assign the same painter to room number two. You can assign the task of the second room to the painter as part time (50%), a total of 16 hours. 4) What is the formula for calculating duration? Duration = work/units 5) What are the eight preset work contours (hint: In the Task Usage view right click on a resource name an open the assignment information box) and what are the procedures in applying them to a resource on a task? (1) Flat- This is a default contour that has an even distribution of work (2) Back-loaded- This sets the peak activity to happen at the end of the project. (3) Front-loaded- This sets the peak activity to happen at the beginning of the project. (4) Double peak- This...

...father raking them on top of their, suggesting a child-like innocence. Her explanation of stomping on leaves just to hear them crunch only strengthens her playful nature of the poem because almost every person has done this as a child.Also, the usage of the word “crunch” and describing the pile of leaves as “crisp” makes us almost hear the leaves crumbling. Another poem “Canvas of Encouragement” by Rebecca Hancock paints a much different picture, or doesn't. This poem is much more adult and serious, centered around a blank canvas and someone who is unable to find the inspiration to paint. The first line makes the reader feel very empty and hollow, using the words blank and empty, which describe the canvas. The second line mentions the painter hanging his head down to cry. “[...] the pendulum broke/as it falls you watch time fly”(3-4) seems to indicate that the...

...zPHILIPPINE SOCIETY AND CULTURE DE GUZMAN, ALYESKA CHLOE M. 2BSBA1 LOPEZ MUSEUM ““It’s Complicated”, a phrase popularized by social media, has become the catch all for all undefined and problematic relationships typical of the post-modern world. Seeing parallels between these and the complex relationship of the Philippines with its colonial pasts, the Lopez Museum and Library, in partnership with Tin-aw Art Gallery, opens its first exhibit for the year, Complicated on February 21, 2014 featuring commissioned works by guest artists Mike Adrao, Leslie de Chavez, and Ea Torrado, juxtaposed with works by Juan Luna, Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo, Juvenal Sanso, Bencab, Ang Kiukok, Jerry Elizalde Navarro and other artworks from the Lopez Museum collection.” I would like to admit now that I've never really had this kind of museum experience before. Usually, taking tours in a museum is kind of boring because I would only read the overview texts and go around the museum by myself. But, Lopez library was different and unique. I appreciate how they uncomplicated the “Complicated exhibit”. As we enter the museum, the very first things that I noticed are the paintings. Most of these paintings were nonfigurative. Good thing the tour guide explained each of these paintings. These artworks show us the creativity of Filipino and we can also see the life of the Filipino have in the Philippines as every point of it tells history. To conclude, I was brought into a magical...

...to Europe as a student ambassador. The following summer I got to visit England, France, and Italy; my journey is a cultural experience that I will never forget. On the first day of our travels, we left the airport in Atlanta, GA for our fifteen hour journey to London, England. We arrived in the U.K. touring city learning the history of statues and gardens, witnessing the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace, and viewing the beautiful city from the top of the London Eye. The following night we took an overnight ferry to Normandy, France to visit the D-day Memorial Beaches to receive a history lesson on what occurred during the last days of World War II. Our next stop on the agenda was Paris, France, the shopping capital of the world! The highlight of our Paris tour was going to the top of the Eiffel Tower, eating beignets in the café, and running from African venders. Days later we arrived in Italy where I met my homestay family, the Viviani’s. Accompanied by my host Gloria, we strolled along the Mediterranean beaches, propelled down a castle, and attended a birthday celebration. On the last day of our voyage we toured Rome visiting the Vatican and becoming more educated about the history of the different painters. That night we returned to the U.S. to be reunited with our families. My life as an African American, living in the south has not been easy. For a very long time, I felt as though I was being judged...

...likes of high-ranking men such as popes, bishops and papal legates (cardinals), who actively advanced his career and status and allowed him great success. Praised by Ludovico Carracci as “a prodigy of nature” was Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, who is better known as (Il) Guercino. Guercino’s Samson Captured by the Philistines, 1619, exemplifies the nature of art during the Baroque period because of its ability to engage the viewer both physically and emotionally. One of Italian art's great draftsmen, a largely self-taught artist, Giovanni Francesco Barbieri was born in the town of Cento in Emilia-Romagna (Italy) in 1591. He was known by his nickname, Il Guercino (the Squinter), because of a childhood accident that made him cross-eyed. As a painter Guercino worked in different styles during his long and successful career. Earlier in his career, he combined several disparate influences of Carravaggio, the Carracci who so expertly accomplished the use of chiaroscuro and great 16th-century Venetian masters like Titian, who mastered the use of foreshortening and Tintoretto, whose dramatic use of perspective space and special lighting effects, to create works that are among some of the masterpieces of the Baroque period. Cento is a town located directly in between Bologna and Ferrara, both of which at the time were becoming flourishing local hubs for the humanities. Local artists in Cento...

...The principle idea of this paper is to explore my opinions of Pop Culture and the Arts. Art to me is anything that can be pleasing to the eye and something that I can enjoy in my own way. Culture refers to how I was brought up. As with any expressions art can be a picture, painting, photograph, music, or a sculpture. Anything that one’s mind can create that they appreciate can be considered art. Looking at art one can see it in books, magazines, museums, on walls of buildings, or on someone’s lawn. Art is defined as the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance (Dictionary, 2012). Some of our most revered American’s brought us the visual aspects of different forms of art. Norman Rockwell posted many of the most famous painting by an American in The Saturday Evening Post. One of his most illustrious paintings was “Rosie The Riveter” that spawned a revolution for women in the workplace taking over job’s dominated by men called off to war. There have been many others who have influenced art in America. Grandma Moses, who started painting as a very late stage in her life painted country scene setting and about farm life, Andy Warhol, who is most famous for painting Campbell’s Soup cans (Mofitt, 2007). Frederic Remington for his depictions of the Old American West in the late 19th century, and Georgia O’keefe for her Southwestern United States painting scenes to name a few....

...Seven of the hurdles that need to be examined, in a management sense, are: 1. Cost overruns How much will they actually be and who will pay for them? Past experience says there will be cost overruns; moreover, many of those extra costs are often hidden from the public by being shifted to other budgets. Infrastructure costs are but one example of this. It is important that a tight rein on costs be initiated from the outset and that oversight be put in place. Scrutiny of estimates and the awarding of contracts by outsiders are essential. Another aspect of the issues in this area is determining how to ensure transparency. 2. The future use of sporting venues Using these venues once the games end can pose many problems; for example, some are so large that they will have to be reduced in size if they are to be profitable. Others are specific to sports that may attract little attention. There is a history of Olympic ‘white elephants’ that stand empty for years. Can someone find a way to move these elephants toward social benefit or commercial profit? 3. Transformation of Olympic housing to public housing Questions abound. What planning needs to be done to ensure that the housing constructed for the athletes actually will be used as mixed or affordable housing after the events? Will the housing for the athletes who participate in the Paralympics be set aside as housing for the elderly and disabled? What will be done with the massive cafeterias set up to feed those involved in the...

What methods could have been used to measure the impacts of similar events and what are the issues surrounding those methods? In 2003, a London Development Agency (LDA 2003) report into the Notting Hill Carnival found that ‘it brought in an estimated income of £93 million into London in 2002, supporting in the region of 3000 full time equivalent jobs. The study and review of other aspects of the carnival lead to increased attention from the Mayor of London and other stakeholders (1) which lead to the Notting Hill Carnival ‘Strategic Review’ in 2004. The report states that ‘the true value of the Notting Hill Carnival, in social, economic and cultural terms, has received little recognition in the past’. (2) But how can the Notting Hill Carnival be more accurately measured? Economic: The review highlights a number of economic impacts of the Carnival, with various statistics available. However, these stats focus heavily on the immediate economic impact, and do consider the costs for the negative impact of the event; policing, traffic, pollution. As highlighted by Getz 2012, the economic impacts should include a ‘comprehensive evaluation of the costs and benefits of the event’. (3) Environmental: Environment impacts have been measured in the past through the amount of waste generated.
