please respond to each one of these discussion board’s with 100 word response. related to the previous assignment you completed about Vijah’s experience

discussion #1:

William James explains mysticism in Lectures 16 and 17 as being an experience where one’s mind and body are overcome by something or someone bigger than oneself, which he calls “the One”. In this experience, the person is in a heightened state of being instead of in the conscious mind. Therefore, the mind is able to realize and feel things that would not be possible if one was not in this special state. Vijah’s religious experience fits into William Jame’s idea of religious experience because when Vijah is manifested by the Mother Goddess, he goes through an experience where he is healed and receives advice. William James also claims that in this experience it is not the person itself working but the One working through the person. This makes sense when looking at Vijah’s experience since “the goddess chose him as a medium… and he happily and humbly accepted, surrendering his body with complete trust each Sunday to the goddess’s healing mission” (Reich, Thomases). William James thought of religion as being the feelings, acts, and experiences of men and what hey consider the divine. Interesting enough, there is no mention of organization or rules in his definition. Vijah’s religious experience goes with Jame’s definition because it consists in experiencing something that is nearly inexplainable and incredibly emotional. The rules are all up to the Mother Goddess and whatever she wants done.

Discussion #2:

Vijah’s
religious experience fits into William James’ idea of religious
experience, the four categories that James talked about. In the first
category, it’s ineffable. The fact that his experience is somehow hard
to describe, he had tried everything to conceive and no medicine was
working and only when he came to the mother goddess he and his wife were
able to conceive. Something that is hard to describe or tell most
people, that a manifestation of the goddess brought fertility to his
life. The second category is noetic. In which we see how Vijah blended
his worlds because he thought it brings a form of therapy to the people
that the mother goddess relays her messages too. In the third category,
transient we are able to see how the mother goddess manifests herself in
Vijah. I also think its important to note that it’s not possession. In
which she gives messages and heals those around her. The fourth category
is passive. In which are able to see how this seeped into Vijah’s life.
So much so that he came to be ahead priest and allowed the mother
goddess to manifest herself within him.

For project 4, I decided to pick the second option which is the grad school option. In this project I have to Identify two graduate programs that I’m considering applying for. Since I’m a pre-pharm student I am considering applying to UCSD pharmacy school and loma linda as my second option. I will approach this project by learning about how to write a statement of purpose for the two grad schools that I’m planning to apply for. Since I’m not familiar with the statement of purpose I will use the link provided in the prompt. This paper will include a page for each grad school that has their websites and a discussion of how each statement should be.( I go to sdsu, biology major)

make sure to follow the instuction provided in the two files below

Country: Russia*****

• Executive Summary including the purpose of the report, the opportunity you are proposing (where the opportunity is defined as starting a business in a country outside of the United States) and recommendations.
• Business Model Proposal (derived logically from the country analysis) with details of the proposal (business model, how you are going to make money, value proposition of your product offering, quantitative and qualitative benefits of the project, entry mode, trade barriers, financing decisions, etc.).
• SWOT Analysis based on your country analysis and the business you are planning to start.
• Strategic Plan with a 3-5 year sequential implementation plan.
• Projected 10-Year Cash Flow Analysis including investment and Return on Investment (ROI) target with cash flows brought back to present dollars. Use a discount rate of 10%. Also pick at least 1 parameter (e.g., volume, price, etc.) and show a sensitivity analysis.
• Issues, Risks, Contingency Plans and Metrics Identify and describe what issues and associated business risks may arise from starting this business in your chosen country. Briefly describe contingency plans to address these. Also include what metrics should be assessed to understand whether the business is achieving plan and how often they should be assessed.

The document should be no more than 10 pages. The paper does not have to be in APA format. But it must follow APA guidelines for spacing, font, font size and reference formatting and citations The title page, reference pages and charts/graphs/tables pages are not included (counted) in the 10-page count.

Be sure to use the concepts and learnings from this course as you develop your proposal and write your report. Also, please prepare this report as if it will be given to your CEO or a Venture Capitalist for consideration. Good grammar, no misspellings, and logical flow are all very important!

Instructions:

Use online resources to learn how Jupyter notebook is used in a range
of fields, including the sciences, social sciences, finance, and
education. I recommend you visit A gallery of interesting Jupyter Notebooks(https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter/wiki/A-gallery-of-interesting-Jupyter-Notebooks) where a large collection of notebooks on a variety of topics are available for you to review and study.

Pick one of these notable notebooks from your research and use them as the foundation for your project.

Your project must be in one of these areas:

• Biology/Health Science
• Cybersecurity
• Data Science
• Education
• Finance
• GIS (Geographic information system)
• Social Sciences

Requirements:

1/ Once you selected a topic and notebook, you need to write up a
summary of how the author or authors are solving a specific problem
using the combinations of Python and Jupyter Notebook.

2/ Use the selected topic and notebook as the foundation of your
project. In particular, your project must solve a smaller problem set of
the notable workbook. For instance, if the Notebook’s main topic is
detecting general malware in cybersecurity, your project could focus on
identifying one specific instance of that malware or identifying only a
small portion of the classification algorithm used in the notebook. You
then implement the smaller problem set using Python and Jupyter
Notebook. You can come up with original code or modify the existing code
to solve your smaller problem set.

3/ Your project must use at least three of the following Python modules:

• Matplotlib
• Numpy
• Requests
• Pandas
• Seaborn
• bs4

4/ Submit your topic summary in text, including a link to the
reference Jupyter notebook you used. Also submit a Jupyter notebook
(.ipynb) file with your code.
