Potential Investment Project 3 The third investment that Indian River’s management team asked Constand Consulting to analyze and discuss involves choosing between two different projects, W and C, which are systems of disposing of wastes associated with another product, frozen grape juice. Both systems have an estimated three-year useful life; the project selected will probably be repeated at the end of its life into the foreseeable future. Since the waste disposal projects have no impact on…

INTRODUCTION Students of all levels of education experience math anxiety. Math researchers define math anxiety as a ‘feeling of tension and anxiety that interferes with the manipulation of numbers and the solving of mathematical problems in ordinary life and academic situations’ (Finlayson, 2014). The purpose of this paper is to examine how math anxiety impacts children? Also what we can do as School Psychologists to prevent and help manage math anxiety in children. This paper will go over the…

Proof is incorporated in the VCE Mathematics Study Design 2016-2018 and VCE Mathematics textbooks. Proof is integrated in many areas of study such as arithmetic and number, geometry measurement and trigonometry, algebra and structure, and discrete mathematics (Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority [VCAA], 2016). This supports the idea that one of the central goals of school mathematics, notably at the upper secondary level, is the development of proof concepts (Coe & Ruthven, 1994).…

David Auburn is a forty-seven year old successful playwright, director, screenwriter, husband and father. Born in Chicago, Auburn then grew up in Ohio and Arkansas, where he developed his deep love for the arts. Attending the University of Chicago, he joined “Off Off Campus Theater Group”, where he began acting and writing plays and monologues. Auburn also became a critic in his university’s newspaper. Shortly after majoring in English Literature(1991), Auburn accepted a Stephen Spielberg…

As of 2014, 38 percent of suicide cases were related or caused by social media. Scientist further investigated this correlation and found out that 50 billion of contents are shared monthly using social media. Many of us question this outrageous catastrophe, but to truly understand the immense power behind social media, details must be acquired. Identifying the details of social media, social media is a relatively new phenomenon that has lingered this world for the past decade. With the fusing of…

This paper by Granovetter looks at the correlation between the level of network overlap and network strength. Namely, the paper looks to answer the following question: Is the degree of overlap of two individuals’ social networks correlated with the strength of their tie to one another? Furthermore, Granovetter provides a socioeconomic perspective on the implications of social tie strength- looking at tie strength and job acquisition. Granovetter interviewed a random sample of 54 individuals from…

Introduction The personal network being assessed is based on support networks. The entire network was separated into two tables: a strong tie network and a weak tie network to be evaluated more closely to either support or argue against the claims of literature on social network ties and support networks. The networks were studied using various measures, including: network size, average tie strength, age homophily, female proportion, ethnic diversity and homophily, kin centredness, total…

What are all the central themes within the book? First In his afterword to Lord of the Flies, E.L. Epstein claims that the Lord of the Flies is “the central symbol itself” (205). Do you agree that this Beelzebub character is indeed the most significant symbol in Golding’s book? If so, why does Golding choose to include the Lord of the Flies in his novel? What function does it serve in the text? If not, what is the most important symbol in Lord of the Flies? The conch? Piggy’s glasses? Lord of…

things as land and buildings in early Egyptian history. However, it is two mathematical texts that the Egyptians left behind that have made the most impact on modern day mathematics. The Moscow Papyrus, dated back from the Egyptian middle kingdom 2000-1800 bc and the Rhind Papyrus, dated from around 1650 bc. Both are mathematical text that have contributed to modern day math. The Moscow Papyrus for example, is a mathematical text that is filled with what we would call word problems or math…

C. W. Marshall makes eight different claims about Greek masks and uses this article to support and explain each one. The first four claims are uncontroversial: 1) Masks are “better spoken of as headpieces, since they combined the functions of mask and wig” (188). 2) Masks were made of thin stuccoed linen. 3) The Classical process of acting (hypokrisis or mimesis) combined human voice, posture and movement with an inanimate mask. When properly combined, a mask will seem to become an animate face.…
