Week 8: Balance Analysis

8th Grade Summary Essay 8th grade has been a hell of a ride, I went through ups and downs, met new people, learned new things, and finally finished middle school. But along this hellish ride I encountered many challenges (and sorta solved them). I learned life lessons and had people help me along the way, I achieved goals that I set for myself. Most importantly, I learned many methods from AVID that I hope I will always use and take advantage of. Without AVID I would probably not care about my grades so much as much as I do now.

Greetings to you on our final week of class! It has been a journey that I’m glad I have received the chance to experience in which I learned a lot. This week I chose to compare and contrast “A Raisin in the Sun” and “Everyday Use” because they have a lot of similarities. “Everyday Use” was one of my favorite stories to write about in week’s two forum. I pretty much got a good understanding about “Everyday Use” in week two but I feel like I know this story like the back of my hand now that I compared and contrasted it with another story. I did find it hard to come up with more stuff to write about that I didn’t cover in week two. My strengths were that “Everyday Use” was one of my favorite stories to write about so I had a better idea of what I was going to elaborate on but my weakness was just writing in general along with finding the motivation to do it. Looking forward to constructive feedback!

Week 4: What an amazing week I have had. My children are on holiday, we have had a lot fun activities to do as a family. Holidays are the only times I get to spend with my children as I work from Monday to Friday. I have also taken some time off work, hence I am not as stressed as I am most of the times. However I tend to manage my stress well by practising. I really appreciate your feedback and the guidance given during this course work.

Balanced scorecard is a set of measures, which give the complete view of any business performance. Kaplan and Norton (1995) explained balanced scorecard in following words:

One Saturday afternoon, Hayden went to a car dealership, and bought the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro. Hayden only has $30,000 in his bank account, and the car costs $25,905. Since we are talking about Hayden, everyone just knew he was not going to choose the monthly payments. After spending three hours signing paperwork, he decided to spend the rest of his money at the grocery store. After, a long day spending every single dime he had in his bank account, he comes home to the Electric Company cutting off his power. Hayden forgot to pay his electric bill for this month; he did not want to pay it because JEA charge him $350 a month.

I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the simplicity of your weekly outline. As an instructor and as a student, I dislike overloaded or overwhelming units for the sake of filling space. Who created the “Why History Matters” video? I would be interested in watching that video myself, especially when accompanied by Malcolm X’s essay.

The last week of school for all seniors had begun. Everyone was handing in all their assignments (and doing any last bit of procrastination they might've

To begin, this week has definitly been a roller coaster ride. When I first arrived on campus, I was automatically geared to return to my old habits. However, I decided that would not be the best thing for me. As for this week I can say that I've accomplished many of my goals. It was fairly difficult to acheive these goals considering I am prone to laziness. By the second

This trimester was the final one of the entire school year. It has been moderately stressful and pleasant at the same time. It has been stressful because of science fair and by knowing that high schools are going to look at your grades. It has also been stressful because we have a plethora of homework that takes approximately 2-3 hours to finish. On the other hand, we had a enjoyable when we went to Alcatraz this trimester. Going to Alcatraz was a stupendous trip and experience for the whole class and was excellent learning something from a historical landmark. I chose theses assignments because the summarize and represent all of the assignments I had this whole trimester.

She is about five feet tall without her base. She appears to have cherubs on the base next to her legs. She has inspired many artists from fifteenth century through the nineteenth century. Luca Giordano had a great passion for the Medici Venus. Jonathan Richardson would stand before her for hours, and Joseph Spence visited her almost a hundred times.

A balance scorecard is essential for developing a healthy business growing place. It is a vital key for defining the goals and targets of a company as well as the vision, mission and the SWOTT Analysis. A balanced scorecard is, “A set of measures that are directly linked to a company’s strategy: financial performance, customer knowledge, internal business processes, and learning and growth” (Pearce & Robinson, 2013, p. 194). This company will relate the in-building turbines values, mission, vision and SWOTT Analysis with the four perspectives of the scorecard (financial performance, customer knowledge, internal business process, and learning and

A Balanced Scorecard can be defined as a “performance management tool which began as a concept for measuring whether the smaller-scale operational activities of a company are aligned with its larger-scale objectives in terms of vision and strategy” (Wikipedia 2009, ¶ 1). Scents & Things will need to develop a balanced scorecard that will assist in meeting and help define the company’s values, mission, vision, and SWOT analysis. The balance scorecard is made up of four perspectives; financial, customer, learning and growing, and internal process. This paper will define each of the four perspectives objectives, performance measures, targets, and initiatives. The paper will also show how the perspectives relate

The Greek element of pose that Botticelli incorporated in his Venus figure is the pose called "contrapposto" that comes from the Ancient Greeks. This pose has a sense of movement and in the Renaissance, this painting depicts the painting to be alive and almost as if we can see the goddess of Venus's hair blowing in the wind as she comes to shore. This painting doesn't really depict contrapposto there is a type o curve to the body that suggests that she has a very flexible structure. In this painting, every one almost seems as if they are floating in the air. The painting is really linear and we notice this when we see how there are three groups, the god of wind is on the left, Venus in the center and the goddess of spring on the right all occupying

Golden Ratio is found by dividing a line into two parts so that the longer part divided by the smaller part equals the whole length divided by the longer part. Golden ratio is very similar to pi because it is an infinite number and it goes on forever. It is usually rounded to around 1.618. The formula for golden ratio is a/b = (a+b)/b. It has been around for a long time so it is not known who made up the golden ratio. Since the golden ratio is used all around the world it is known in many names such as the golden mean, phi, the divine proportion, extreme and mean proportion, etc. Golden ratio was used in arts from the beginning of people and still is used today. It has been used in architecture, math, sculptures and nature. Euclid talks about it in his book elements. Golden ratio is also used in Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers. Golden ratio also comes in the form of a rectangle.

I personally chose this particular theme for several reasons. One of them, is that I'm a sports fan. Since I was a kid, I always practiced sports including soccer, baseball, basketball and swimming. As an athlete, I personally know how difficult it is to focus on working hard and at the same time have a normal life, do your homework, be with your family, etc.
