Extreme poverty

Extreme Sports “It was like clearing the mind in medication.” Throughout our lives we go through things that make us upset so we act out. Extreme sports is a way of us acting out, because instead of taking medication you are doing something dangerous. In the article “Extreme Sports Not About Risk Taking Study” the author shows why extreme sports is like medication and is helpful. In the three articles “The World’s Most Dangerous Sports”, Extreme Sports Not About Risk Taking” and “A Solemn…

Sea Shanties are a class of work songs that date back as far as the 16th century in Scotland. However, they truly flourished over a span of fifty years in the mid 1800’s after being popularized by the Atlantic merchant trade. Sailors used chants for synchronizing shipboard labor. They are typically flexible in lyric form that would allow for easy improvisation. This would allow the shantyman (leader/head) to lengthen or shorten the call and response to match the work. Shantyman (solo):…

4.2.1. MDG 1 – Poverty Reduction and Job and Food Security Many studies on the MDGs have generally agreed that there is a correlation between an improvement in the economic performance (measured by GDP per capita, or PPP in some instance) with an overall increase in improvement of countries in reaching the MDGs. This is self-evident in the MDG 1: Eradicating Extreme Hunger and Poverty (Bourguignon et al. 2008, pp.13–14; Melamed 2010, pp.1–2). It has been noted that poverty reduction in…

order to better organize work and adapt to changes in requirements. When it comes to technology development, it is best to utilize a framework that is more agile in nature. The two frameworks that will be scrutinized in this document are DevOps and Extreme Programming…

2.2.1 The Agile Model Agile Software development The agile development method is a hybrid between the incremental and iterative development model. The Agile software development ideology constitutes many offshoot development models; these include Extreme Programming (XP), Scrum and Dynamic System development model (DSDM). These models vary in the finer details of how these practices are implemented and are named, however, the core values in all of the agile development models are the same.…

minorities are less educated and geographically displaced in already problematic and polluted areas. These groups may have less capacity to be prepared and to respond to hazards created by extreme weather events and—even less, to be able to recover from climate disasters. To protect disadvantaged segments of society from extreme climate events, awareness of climate change represents a crucial starting point. My research question is: “Is there a link between socioeconomic/educational status and…

Agile project management allows teams to work closely together. Agile focuses more on working software rather than planning and hence it is also called value driven approach. Agile assumes resources and duration is fixed but requirements can be changing. Many in the industry would consider agile as non-planned approach, which is wrong. In fact, Agile believes that requirements are constantly changing and hence uses just in time planning and plans only for immediate needs. As we can see from the…

all the required features. In agile model, each project is handled differently, and methods are tailored so that they best suit the requirements of the project. Some of the most popular agile methods include • Scrum • Rational Unified Process • Extreme Programming • Crystal Clear • Feature Driven Development • Adaptive Software Development • Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) Pros of Agile…

provide a shorter development cycle, higher customer satisfaction, lower bug rates, and quicker adaptation to rapidly changing business requirements. This paper presents a new hybrid model/method, which combines the Rational Unified Process with eXtreme Programming (XP) and Scrum to maximize the strengths of both conventional and agile methods, while trying to suppressing the weakness of each approach. The Rational Unified Process is used as a skeleton in the hybrid method while Scrum is…

Scrum is the main way of project management in Agile. It means that most of the Agile projects are run in a Scrum manner. Agile project management with Scrum has several main principles. Independence of the Scrum team is the first and the main principle of its work. It means that the team of Scrum developers has no strict limits to work within. In the traditional approach to software development, the team is usually provided with complete and detailed instructions on the future project. At…
