...The Montana Meth Project is a non profit organization founded in the mid 2000s. It was founded in response to the growing number of teenagers in Montana experimenting with meth amphetamines. Commercials were produced as part of this project that graphically depicted the consequences of using meth amphetamines. These commercials ended up serving as an effective rhetorical artifact. Each commercial showed a different story, of the very real violence and pain caused by meth use. The commercials appealed to the viewers sense of pathos , by making the situations presented seem real. After the commercials had aired for several months, researchers had found that the attempts to make people fear the drug were failing but, the element of disgust employed...

...Brandon Rogers Laura Walter GSW – Essay 4 29 10 14 Montana Meth PSA In this image one can see that there is a girl lying on the floor as if she was in distress. The girl in the photo looks as if she is high off drugs and there is a man grabbing her shoulder trying to have sexual relations with her. This PSA is a great example of struggle and how certain things get down played that are serious. The drug that the girl has been using is called Meth, also known as Methamphetamine. Methamphetamine is a synthetic stimulant that affects a human’s central nervous system (Meth Project). Teenagers0 that think drugs are acceptable need to take this photo into consideration and really understand it because drugs are extremely harmful to your body. This Montana Meth PSA uses pathos and a use of color, text, and body language to show the endangerment when students are using illegal drugs. While looking at a PSA color plays a big part because it has to draw the audience attention as best as possible, so teens can understand what they are getting themselves into. “Colors connect to our feelings in a unique and memorable way, which makes them a powerful marketing tool to keep in mind (Color is Important)”. Humans tend to notice color first before they read any type of text in anything because a color is an attention getter. In the Montana Meth PSA, the man that looks to be assisting her is wearing a red flannel. The color red in advertising can come off as danger while viewing...

...This Drug Project I would like to work on would be a prevention program aimed at reducing first-time drug use for the drugs of Meth, Cocaine, and Hallucinogens. I will use public service messaging, educational classes, and community outreach. The Middlebrow Drug Project will use a variety of commercials to inform young adults and youth the harmful effects of Meth, Cocaine, and Hallucinogen use. These commercials will not be your everyday commercials, compared to regular commercials that want to sell products, these commercials I want to make a difference and a change in teen’s attitudes towards these drugs. The Project will show my prevention efforts effectively by providing real life experiences and the campaign will target youth, teens, and young adults through peer pressures they might face with these drugs. Targeting middle schools, high schools and even the community college we have in town is what I will focus on throughout this project; along with going throughout town to spread awareness. I will have help and volunteers who feel as strongly as I do to help me get the message across along with reaching out to the community in various ways. Some volunteers will be former drug users to share their story, while others will help with the educational classes and messaging. I will choose to focus on Middlebrow first, not only because I live here and would like to make a change in my community, but because drugs are a problem in my community. This Project will show prevention...

Onwukab Civil Engineering, Federal University of Technology, P.M.B. 1526, Owerri, Nigeria. Project Management Technology, Federal University of Technology, P.M.B. 1526, Owerri, Nigeria. Received 30 March 2011; accepted 17 May 2011 a b Abstract The strength of concrete is a function of the proportions of the constituent materials, namely, cement, water, fine and coarse aggregates. The conventional methods used to determine the mix proportions that will yield the desired strength, are laborious, time consuming and expensive. In this paper, a mathematical method based on modified regression theory is formulated for the prediction of concrete strength. The model can prescribe all the mixes that will produce a desired strength of concrete. It can also predict the strength of concrete if the mix proportions are specified. The adequacy of the mathematical model is tested using statistical tools. Keywords: Concrete; Regression theory; Prediction; Mix ratios. 1. Introduction Concrete is a composite construction material consisting of water, cement, fine aggregate (sand) and coarse aggregate. Mix design of concrete is a means of producing the most economical and durable concrete that meet with certain properties...

...Past and Current Drug Trends in America Sarah Pierce PSY425 October 25, 2010 Scharlene De Horney Past and Current Drug Trends in America Drugs come in many forms and from many places. Drugs have been around since the beginning of time and people have been using them since they discovered them. Drug use began thousands if not a hundred thousand years ago as humans started exploring their environment. People would see a new plant or observe an animal’s behavior after consuming the plant, and out of curiosity, they would experiment with it or taste it. This is how some of the drugs we know today came about. Cocaine, opium, LSD, peyote, and marijuana all come from plants that primitive people discovered while tasting the environment around them. This paper will identify the past and current trends in the use and abuse of substances (drugs) in the United States. It will also discuss when it is viewed appropriate to use illicit drugs. Moreover, this paper will analyze the health and social problems in the United States that occur due to drug abuse and addiction. Trends American views on drugs have gone from one extreme to the opposite over a period of about 200 years. In the late 1700s through the 1800s, everyday Americans legally used substances like opium, cocaine, and marijuana for medicinal, spiritual, and recreational uses. At the beginning of the 1900s, the American view on drugs began its dramatic change. As of 1971, America is in an outright “war on drugs”. Past ...

...Somehow we got onto the topic of drugs and alcohol and Ty told me he is addicted to drugs (just switched from cocaine to crystal meth about 4 months ago) and has severe drinking problems. There were white blemishes on his chin, I asked him if they were from the crystal meth and he said yes. When I asked him what his plan is now, he told me the next step for him is to go to V.C.S. I asked him what that stood for and he explained that it is an organization that might be able to provide him with veteran’s benefits. When I looked it up I discovered something called Veterans Canteen Service. I believe this is where Ty is planning on going. Before leaving, I prayed for Ty and asked the Lord to do a miracle in his marriage and relationship with his daughter. I asked God to help him break the addictions he has to drugs and alcohol and provide him someone to help him through all of it. I asked for the Lord’s peace over his life and ultimately that...

...Your CEO has asked you to do some high-level planning during your project initiation. What are some of the things that the project manager should provide to support this request? Do you consider this a wise request considering you are just initiating your project? Why or Why not? By Nana Kwabena Agyemang One of the major sources of project failure is a lack of a well-defined and formalized project initiation process which includes poor planning and poor quality requirements specification. As matter of fact, poor project planning is really common in most project initiations. Right from the project initiation, if the initial stages contains any issues it can carry on throughout the project life-cycle and the results of this is clear, project failure. This is why as a PM, you should be able to involve or bring together each and every stakeholder during project initiation to help curb out any doubts and resolve any issue before the start of the project. This initiation stage is very important because it is vital for the team who will deliver the product, for those who’s going to be the final user of the product, and for the stakeholders in the project to come into agreement on the project initiation. The PM should define the project initiation stage to include the following: * Creation of a Product Description Statement: This should be a high-level and informal, statement that will help describe the very nature or characteristics of the product or process that’s going to...

...Jonathan Roberto Dec 15, 2014 Cultural Event Paper Navajo Indians This past summer I got the amazing opportunity to spend a week in New Mexico for a mission trip to better the tribe of the Navajo Indians. During our stay we had four projects that were to be completed by the end of the week. First we were to build a playground for the children in the tribe. Next we were to build Hogons, which were small houses for the people in the tribe that were homeless. We then built a greenhouse for a main farm on the reservation where people would get their vegetable. Lastly we made food deliveries to homes in the tribe that were in desperate need. After I describe these individual projects I will discuss the tribes reactions and my feelings toward our work that we completed. Like many Reservations in the United States the Navajo tribe community in New Mexico is extremely impoverished with a big drug abuse problem as well as a high suicide rate. This is why our large team of a hundred wanted to go in and make a difference to put some hope back into the community and provide support for the people so that they could possibly live better lives. As a group leader I knew that I had to keep my group on task and remind them the reasoning behind our mission since the days were long and strenuous and not always the most fun. The first few days we worked on the playground and it was amazing to see the transformation in the children and the parents. In the beginning when we got to...

The real question we should be asking though is; are we as a society dealing with this national epidemic correctly or compassionately? Now, I'm not in a position to cast aspersions on people for using drugs. I was using drugs from the age of eleven until twenty-four. When I was eleven I grabbed a bottle of schnapps and headed to the woods behind my house. Never really liked drinking. But when...

...with the project Palomino for future investments. We arrived at this conclusion based on the risks involved, feasibility study, break even analysis and return on the investment studies. It has been stated as a requirement that the project has to be finished and it should start generating revenue within the next 12 months. Below you will find a detail description of the different phases of a project and then an analysis on all three projects, followed by our recommendation. Phases of a project From the start to finish a project can be divided into five different phases (http://www.projectinsight.net/project-management-basics/basic-project-management-phases). Project conception and initiation The purpose of this phase is to define the project accomplishments. This is a critical phase as it is essential for those who will deliver the product/service, for those who will use the product/service, and for those who have a stake in the project to reach agreement on its initiation (http://pmstats.dis.arkansas.gov/Meth/05-Initiation%20phase.pdf). During this phase, the idea of the project is analyzed to see how beneficial it is to the business. Project definition and planning This phase defines the project scope and its activities. It outlines the tasks that have to be performed to complete the project. During this phase, a team should prioritize the project, calculate a budget and schedule, and determine what resources are needed (http://www.projectinsight.net/project-management-basics/basic-project-management-phases)...

...execution and IT governance are both related to the development of Information Technology. The differences among the two terms are their purpose and process. IT execution is a phase in IT development where IT governance is policies and rules to a project. In other word, IT governance is a whole single identity while IT execution is a step in a project. We will go further detail of the different of the two terms. But first, we will elaborate the term IT execution and IT governance. As stated above, execution is a phase in a project. IT execution usually comes after analyzing and planning phase of a project. Following the execution phase will be testing, clean up, and monitoring. In the execution or a project, it requires setting up responsibilities, time management, authorities, and control mechanism to accomplish the task. We will see later how governance does this IT execution. In the Execution phase, the project is carry out and complete. In the field of Information Technology, it can be anything from connecting a new network to upgrading an existence application or hardware to implementing security policies. As the project is being developed, executioner must refer back to the planning phase for guidance and error checking (Project Execution Phase, n.d.). Governance is the process of insure and control the series of actions, changes, or functions for proper performance. The important key factors of governance are responsibility, authority, and communication (decision...
