SCI256 University of Phoenix Pollution in Texas Paper Science Assignment Help

Much of the “conflict” between the Bible and modern science, in my view, has been due to the failure by many Bible readers and teachers to appreciate the important role of mythology in both an ancient and even modern context. Myth, as a literary work, isn’t primarily concerned with the factuality of a story so much as the importance of the lessons conveyed through it. The story might indeed have a great deal of fact associated with it, but it’s main purpose is not to convey mere facts. Truth is its primary goal. The modern western mind has difficulty separating these. We tend to require a thing be factual to be “true,” at least as it pertains to matters of faith. This is unfortunate because sacred texts (particularly the Bible), are full of examples wherein the truth of a story did not depend on its factuality (case in point: the parables of Jesus). For this reason, creation stories in the ancient world were more meant to teach “how things are now” rather than “how things went then.” The condition of mankind and Divine nature are greater themes in creation stories than how scientifically verifiable or “accurate” the story might be.

In many ways, modern film has “resurrected” this ancient practice of conveying truth through well-told stories. Consider the social commentary of films like “The Purge,” or the cultural isolation of Christian evangelicals through M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Village.” Good movies deliver more “truth” to us than in a year of sermons, pamphlets or slick television salesmen. For those with the “eyes to see, and ears to here,” good cinematic art…good films, “teach” us things that no other method would have.

For this reason, I want you to find access to and watch (finding it is up to you) “Noah” with Russel Crowe. Obviously it derives much of its material from the Biblical tale of Noah and the flood. However, too little material exists in the Biblical account of Noah to fill an entire movie and create a compelling story, so the film’s creator derives elements from elsewhere in the Bible, and even explores themes that theologians have grappled with for thousands of years regarding the nature of humankind and “knowing God’s will.” This is NOT the cute Sunday school story! However, it DOES force the viewer to examine whether they might have thought too simplistically about this tale before. Some will react to it negatively because it differs so much from the manner they were taught to think about it. That’s fine also.

For full credit (15 extra points), a five page, double spaced paper must be written on the major themes of the film, its tensions, conflicts and conclusions. Do some research into how the movie was received (positive and negative) and how the director chose to portray certain elements in the story (rock angels?). This is to be a well thought paper. No short papers saying, “I liked it!” or “I hated it.” Five pages minimum!

Talk about the special effects, the editing, the acting, and the screenplay. Talk about what the story has to “say” about humankind and Divine interaction. When is the story set? In the ancient world? Can you even place it in time? What does THAT tell you? Is it a story that’s “true” anytime?

Please read all the following description before you bed on the question (if you know how to deal with these type of calculation and things).

This assignment is the first of four steps in completing the business memorandum. This assignment will require you to:

1. Solve a statistics problem – you will solve the statistics problem and include it in this assignment (in the appendix.) – You will use the calculations you complete to inform the recommendation you make for this problem.
2. Answer the problem questions included in the assignment template -through doing this you will articulate an understanding of the problem and what you are being asked to do with that problem, the value of the statistical calculation to addressing the problem, and who the audience you are asked to address is and how their role and status will influence what and how you write your memorandum.
3. Complete a draft of the memorandum – through doing this you will demonstrate an ability to understand and explain a statistical problem in language appropriate to the professional status and background of the audience you are addressing

4. USE The Template : ((( it is attached below)))

Problem Description

In this section, you will find a description of the problem, requested recommendation and audience for the final memorandum for this assignment.

Problem description:

You are a line manager in Super Car Part’s Eversville manufacturing facility. The company produces automotive parts, and you have responsibility for the line producing steel shafts for the gearbox manufactured in the Eversville Plant. The acceptable dimension of the shaft is 2.5±0.05 inches in diameter with the most desirable product having a diameter of exactly 2.5 inches. The current equipment is approaching the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced. Two vendors are trying to sell your company, Super Car Parts Incorporated, their machines for the shaft-machining task. You have been asked to assess the machines from each vendor, and to make a recommendation for a machine vendor supported by a justification for your decision.

You asked both vendors to supply data on the machining accuracy of their machines for the given task. Both vendors machined 100 shafts, collected data, plotted histograms, fitted the histograms with normal distributions and supplied you with their findings.

Let X= diameter in inches of the gearbox shaft

Aballo Machines Inc.: X has a normal distribution with a mean of 2.49 and a standard deviation of 0.030

Lu Equipment Corp.: X has a normal distribution with a mean of 2.53 and a standard deviation of 0.015

Audience: You are creating this document for the company’s Chief Operating Officer (Links to an external site.), Lenore Georges, and copying the Chief Financial Officer, (Links to an external site.) Anahita Kourosh. Documents involved in major financial decisions like this may also be distributed by the addressees to other executives and the corporate board members.

Please answer the questions provided for you below. Summarize the progress you have made to date plus your plan for the future. When restating your goal, make sure it is a complete set up statement that has your target behavior AND goal listed. Do not write a vague goal, it should be specific. For example, if your goal was to exercise 3-4 days a week for a min of 30 min in order to lose 5 lbs, make sure you answer ALL components.

1. Goal: Re-state the SMART goal from your Health Behavior Change contract ( if it was not correct or specific in your week 1 assignment, correct it here in this assignment.)
2. Accomplishment: Describe briefly the progress you made towards your goal. Be specific. Don’t just indicate that you lost weight; include how much weight you lost. If you did not make any progress, state that.
3. Successful Strategies: List at least 3 strategies that you have found useful to you as you worked towards your goal.
4. Obstacles: List either of the following:
   • at least 2 obstacles that you successfully overcame as you worked towards achieving your goal and how you overcome them; OR
   • at least 2 obstacles you encountered but were not able to overcome and how you could overcome them in the future
5. Maintenance: Describe briefly what you plan to do from now on to either achieve your goal, or maintain your successful attainment of the goal.

– submit a 600-750 word “tiny” paper ; grading rubric attached below 🙂

– use 12 point Times New Roman, single-spaced, and be concise!

1. Watch this video : https://youtu.be/hRfe1skdQfA

2. In 600-750 words, explain Close’s approach to painting, and how his process makes his paintings more engaging for the viewer. Be sure to include direct references to specific areas of Close’s paintings as you write your Reflection.

ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING ISSUES AND SUPPORT YOUR IDEAS WITH CAREFUL OBSERVATIONS OF THE IMAGES:

1. When Chuck Close states that his painting “transcends its physical reality,” he means that the whole painting is greater than the sum of its parts. Describe the experience of seeing one of Close’s paintings up close versus seeing it from a distance.
2. Although Chuck Close paints portraits based on photographs, the finished paintings do not merely look like large photographs. Briefly describe Chuck Close’s process of painting an image, and how the surfaces of his painting differ from that of a photograph.
3. People today generally don’t have optical experiences because most of their visual experiences passively occur while watching commercial media. Explain how Close’s process of painting results in images that provide more engaging optical experiences for the viewer.
