SBVC Impressionism A Journey Through Color and Emotion ART Exhibition Proposal

 develop a creative proposal for an art museum exhibit that includes 10 modern artworks we have learned about in this class. The artworks will be hung in a large, 1-room gallery. The proposal should reflect the art movements, artists, themes, issues considered in readings and class discussions throughout the semester. A list of artworks to be included in the exhibition  1-page exhibition diagram with the title of the show, 50-75 words explaining the aim of the show, and indications on where each artwork will be hung in the exhibition room.SCENARIO ;“What frustrates me is when I see visitors that are bored when they arrive and they stay bored—and these are the ones that come! What aren’t we giving them?”It’s time to use your expertise The board have asked you to use your expertise to propose either a new project or an extensive overhaul of an existing one in order to improve the “historical rigor” of art history in this area. At the same time, some of the trustees are skeptical that changes will be an improvement. One said:“I realize that there could be improvements, but a major exhibition will require a lot of work and resources. I want you to show me why your proposal is worth all that expenditure. What will be better about it? And even more, how will we measure whether it’s better or not?”The trustees are aware that this will not be a “blockbuster” or highly lucrative project as it will contain only 10 works. After considering all the proposals, the trustees will have a discussion to agree on an exhibition to take forward.The aim of the assignment is to make you think critically and visually about displaying artwork. Also, it serves to give you insight into the ‘real life’ experience of putting an art exhibition together. After all, many of us have been to an exhibition (or we might be inclined to go to one now because of this class, hopefully) and it is good to consider how they are put together. Moreover, museums are the ways in which we are introduced to artworks and are one of the vital ways that we engage with art. Much of the artwork that we have been studying in class is housed in public collections worldwide. Learning about how an exhibition is put together is an important part of thinking about art history. Plus, as we’ve learned so far in this class, art exhibitions can have a big impact on this history of art (For example, think about the Impressionist painters!).  What do I need to submit? The assignment is made up of the following components:1-page exhibition diagram including title of the exhibition, a 50 to 75-word statement about the exhibition’s interpretive goals and the location where each of the artworks will be hung in the large 1-room venue1-page exhibition diagram The 1-page exhibition diagram must include the following elements:Statement of interpretive goals or aims – Your proposal should explicitly explain in 50-75 words the intellectual and conceptual goals of the project.Before you begin writing your interpretive statement, make sure you’re clear on:Why you want to develop your interpretation: do you want to increase visitor understanding of your exhibits, provide a fun and rewarding day out for families, or increase the length of time people spend in your museum?What do you want visitors to take away from your interpretation? What do you want them to know, feel, or do as a result of the meaning you are interpreting to them?Who are you interpreting for? Do you want to attract new visitors? Do you want to improve provision for existing visitors?Remember that your proposal is designed to be a persuasive argument: you need to persuade the trustees (who are receptive but don’t have detailed goals, and some of whom are skeptical that improvements are feasible or worthwhile) and also persuade the general public. List of 10 artworks Include a list of 10 artworks in the exhibition with the following caption information for each work:Artist nameMediumYour proposal should not fabricate any aspect of the art historical past. Your proposal should be built around a real artworks and/or real art historical events that you have encountered during the semester.Throughout your proposal, you should draw on readings, discussions, assignments, or videos from the class to support your decisions. You have the latitude to be highly creative in this project in order to best showcase the principles of art history that you have learned in the class.Equally importantly, your proposal must focus on one of the following:A Core Topic/EventFor example, your exhibit could be based on an art movement, artist, or idea explored in the courseA ThemeYour proposal should have a major art historical dimension, but could incorporate other themes (i.e. politics, the body, myth, love, protest, landscape, etc).

Cyber Security Question

DiscussionWhat are the legal consequences of the Erin Andrews’ invasion of privacy case?  Is this case relevant to the recent allegations that some Hilton hotel rooms have hidden cameras that videotape unsuspecting guest?  (See   Reply 1Legal consequences of the Erin Andrews’ invasion of privacy case   According to the Erin Andrews invasion of the privacy case, it has been found that Michael David Barette was charged with the allegation of performing illegal videotaping of Ms. Erin Andrew in the hotel where she is staying at the time of conducting her duty. Furthermore, it has been found that without the consent of her Michael David has done all the illegal capturing of video of her while she was changing her dress and also posted the video on the online pornography websites for claiming money from her. Therefore this activity has cause embarrassment and emotional disturbances to her (Brady, 2017). The legal consequences of this privacy invasion case are that she charged lawsuit about the hotel so as to hold accountable to those members who have invaded her personal safety as well as privacy and made her prone of facing the risks. Apart from this she has also charged lawsuit to the Michael David in context to the violation and performed sex crime for the activities he has done without the knowledge of her. In addition, the person would also be charged under the cybercrime for spreading the video on the internet as it is considered as an illegal one.Relevancy of the case with the recent case of Hilton hotel   Yes, the case of Erin Andrew is completely relevant to the current allegations made by the Chicago women named as Jane Doe to the Hilton hotel regarding the illegal videotaping of her. In this case, the Chicago woman has charged a lawsuit of $100 million regarding the matter that she has been secretly videotaped by the staffs of the hotel without her knowledge and consent. This illegal activity has taken place when Jane Doe is taking shower in the washroom and thereafter the video has been posted to all the possible pornographic websites as the person who performs this illegal activity tries to blackmail her. She complained to the police about the matter that the individual is blackmailing and charging a sum of $2000 dollar as well as $1000 per month (Citron & Franks, 2014). The woman filed the lawsuit against the owner of the Hilton and the Albany hotel regarding invading her privacy and safety measures while she is staying on the hotel. Therefore it is always an illegal act to perform such heinous crime against the women without her knowledge and consent and then blackmailing her for money. Hotel authorities must take necessary actions to maintain the welfare and safety of the guests in a proper way.Reply 2Legal consequences of Erin Andrews’ invasion of privacy casePrivacy, crime, and safety of women are intricately linked in any legal system. An essential part of the security of citizens is the safety of their privacy and personal information. If any legal system does not protect the privacy — both of body and information — of its people, there will always be insecurity in such an order. With the recent debates on women’s safety, several crucial privacy and security issues have been raised, such as the criminalization of voyeurism and stalking, which is a massive boost for the privacy rights of citizens in India, and, hopefully, the government will continue the trend of considering the privacy issues along when addressing security concerns for the state.Here, in the case of Erin Andrews’ invasion of privacy, the above mentioned legal consequences are inevitable. Andrews alleges that the hotels gave her stalker, Michael David Barrett, her room number and also allowed him to check into connecting hotel rooms. Barrett was convicted of felony stalking last year and is serving a two-and-a-half year sentence in prison. Andrews testified at his sentencing and requested the maximum sentence, saying that Barrett’s actions had a catastrophic effect on Andrews and her family. Barrett admitted to modifying peepholes in hotel suites to “allow him to see into Andrew’s room and videotape her nude.” He then uploaded the video to the internet. Attorney Marshall Grossman represented Andrews during Barrett’s criminal stalking trial stated, “Erin filed the lawsuit to send a message to hotel chains that they need to exercise greater care in protecting their guests. “She was seriously harmed by what happened there,” TMZ reports.Yes, this case is relevant to the allegations that Hilton hotel rooms have hidden cameras that videotaped while Erin Andrew was naked. Hotels and hotel guests can both learn from the case. Hotels would be wise to be protective of hotel guests information, unusually high profile guests. They should never provide room numbers or allow guests to have rooms next to specific people unless the other party is aware of the request. Hotel guests should be careful with who they share their room location and ensure that the hotel does not share their information. As a simple fix, they might also want to block the door peepholes from the inside with a piece of tape. Although blocking the peephole cannot completely stop a determined stalker, it will make things more difficult for them.Note:-Its a Discussion and two replies each of 150 words for above questioni need everything in separate documents as 1st document should be discussion of 250words. , 2nd document should be reply 1 and 3rd document should be reply 2.make sure no turnitin and no plagiarism please dont copy it from any source write in your own words.make sure you write everything in own wordsPlease dont copy from any source we have a turnitin.need references And send me three documents in different folder.

To take care of their emotional wellbeing, you want to ensure that they are not pushed by any means. Animals can get unsettled effectively, so; it is better that they are rarely anxious.

You ought to likewise ensure that you furnish them with their number one food to guarantee that they stay blissful. On the off chance that an ESA is troubled, they won’t allow their proprietor to be content as well. Hence, they won’t satisfy the motivation behind emotional help and will ultimately bite the dust ahead of schedule because of ailing health.
5. You ought to take the animal for normal activity to keep up with its body weight.
In the event that an animal gets corpulent, quite possibly its cholesterol levels will rise and make them pass on right on time. In this way, it is the proprietor’s obligation to take them out for a walk and exercise. The proprietor ought to likewise go with them for exercise to stay with them. This will permit them to remain fit and good for quite a while.

Week 5 forum post responses

In need of a 250 word response/discussion to each of the following forum posts. Agreement/disagreement/and/or continuing the discussion.Original forum discussion/topic post is as follows:Many services are available in the convenience of our own homes, including therapy. In this forum, we will focus on the relationship between technology and therapy.What are your thoughts about counseling via the Internet?What are some advantages of online counseling?  What are some disadvantages of online counseling?Would you use this form of technology in your counseling practice? Why/why not?What are your thoughts about counseling via the Internet?What are some advantages of online counseling?What are some disadvantages of online counseling?What specific ethical issues do you think need to be raised?Ethical issue here that could be a problem is trust. If one could not trust a system the person should not use the system because there are reasons why the person could not trust the system. Most people prefer face-to-face counseling because they could receive more friendly talks than using internet. Another ethical issue that could be a problem is being able to resolve a problem using the online system of chatting. Problem resolution is always very important and should be a priority because it is the reason why the person actually go for counseling online. There is also a problem of normatively involved. There are simple norms that people should put in practice during working. This norms suppose to help them do their work better but when the counselor is not on their best attitude it could be a problem. Would you use this form of technology in your counseling practice? Why/why not?Forum post response #2Despite the fact that many services are available in the convenience of our own homes, including therapy. But my thoughts about counseling via the internet is so much concerned about the ethical aspect of the client’s privacy and confidentiality. Although it is seen as a very flexible ways of providing services in such a way that is beneficiary to both clients and clinicians whereby information is sent and respond to easy, but my concerned is more about leakage and hackers risk of client’s personal electronic records. Based on the nature of insecurity when it comes to internet counseling, especially due to technological fluctuation or issues during treatment has been my other concerned about internet counseling especially in case of an emergency situation. Despite the fact that internet counseling might be seen as less expensive and more beneficial to clients especially those in rural areas who could not afford the cost of transportation compared to the traditional face-to-face counseling settings which required driving to a professionals office to schedule an appointment. But the areas of privacy and confidentiality was still my major areas of concern about internet counseling.Despite the beneficial aspects of online counseling, there are some disadvantages which is associated with online counseling as well which includes security issues with clients such as confidentiality, privacy, effective understanding of client’s informed consent, unreliable technological issues, and also clinicians professional competency might pose as a major issues during the counseling process. Also, this might be very disadvantageous for clients who have an intention of committing suicide. It might as well pose as a threat for clinicians to intervene during a critical time of crisis situation and also due to lack of information, might pose as a challenging factor for insurance companies to pay for counseling services of client as well.There are a lot of ethical concerns when it comes to online counseling that needs to be put into consideration. First and foremost, due to the fact that hackers are constantly online doing their business, the client’s privacy and confidential information might raise a serious ethical issues that needs to be put into consideration. Secondly, client’s informed consent might pose as a challenging factor especially for client’s with an intention of self harm or others, as well as clients with suicide thoughts or behaviors. It is also very important for clinicians to develop a professional cultural competency especially when dealing with clients from different diversity during intervention as well which might pose an ethical issues especially when there is lack of communication or language barrier. All of these might pose an ethical concern especially when such counseling is not in line with state and federal counseling regulation.Forum post response #3This week we are discussing the internet, psychology, and online counseling. We live in an era where everything is done online. People don’t typically buy a recipe book anymore, they “Google” a recipe for their desired meal at the click of a button. People don’t send out photos of their newborn babies to their closest friends and family, they just post their “Fresh 48” baby photos to social media. These are just some examples of how our lives have moved to the online world of digital connections. Personally, it scares me! I am so unsure where things are going, but I also am not the most tech savvy person so I struggle to print/scan something. I recognize that no matter how I feel about this change, it is happening and it is happening fast.  I was just having a conversation with my family about “Maybe it’s time to get rid of most of these DVD’s”. I prefer to use the actual DVD to watch my favorite movies, but in the age of smart TV’s, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, they don’t have much use anymore. I think when it comes to social interaction it cannot be viewed the same as some of our information resources being switched to the online world. People need to be able to communicate with all the facets of communication such as haptics, proxemics, tone of voice, etc. This is especially important if someone is coming into counseling for anxiety of depression, they are likely to misinterpret a therapist’s chat box in writing.The ethical concerns about online counseling are significant. It has less monitoring or ways to report, unless it is done through a strictly online servicing company. The therapist can potentially be out shopping, while their client is suicidal and need their full attention. Perhaps even could be driving. The other question of ethics is the billing process for online counseling. How would one bill for text therapy?  I do believe there are some instances where online counseling could be beneficial, but believe them to be short term solutions. Perhaps those who are traveling, or deployed, or those who are crippled by social anxiety, or with an illness unable to travel to a session.

Nurs 8310 week 8: screening for diseases

  
Week 8: Screening for Diseases
What might happen to cancer rates if existing screening tests were no longer used? Consider, as an example, colorectal cancer. The American Cancer Society (ACS) identifies colorectal cancer as the third most common cancer in men and women, as well as the second leading cause of cancer-related death (2011). Colorectal cancer screening tests can detect abnormal cell growth before cancer even forms, allowing for early detection, more successful treatment, and—in some cases—the prevention of cancer altogether. The ACS recommends this screening for all men and women over the age of 50 and earlier for individuals with additional risk factors. Much to the credit of screening procedures, “the death rate from colorectal cancer has been dropping for more than 20 years” (ACS, 2011).
Scientists are continually seeking to develop new screening tests that can detect diseases earlier. Screening is an essential tool for the secondary prevention of disease. It is used when the earlier detection of disease is associated with an improved outcome, as is the case with colorectal cancer. This week, you will examine the process of screening for disease, the effectiveness of different screening tests, and the controversies that surround screening programs.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
· Analyze how epidemiologic data are used to argue for or against a screening program
· Analyze how epidemiologic data can be used to formulate policy for improving population health
· Evaluate the social impact of addressing a population health problem
· Develop an evaluation plan for a health intervention

Discussion: Screening for Disease
Although many individuals and organizations may endorse the goal of screening programs, the details and implementation are often controversial. For some types of screening, it can be quite challenging to weigh the human and economic costs and benefits and determine a clear recommendation. For instance, in an article in the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Michael Barry (2009) indicates that “serial PSA [prostate-specific–antigen] screening has at best a modest effect on prostate-cancer mortality during the first decade of follow-up. This benefit comes at the cost of substantial over-diagnosis and overtreatment. It is important to remember that the key question is not whether PSA screening is effective but whether it does more good than harm.”
This week’s Learning Resources include articles about screening programs for four different diseases that contain potentially controversial recommendations. For this Discussion, you will select a disease and examine the epidemiological evidence to assess a recommendation for screening guidelines. In addition, you will consider possibilities for furthering policy to promote population health related to this disease.
To prepare:
· Review the four articles concerned with screening and public policy listed in this week’s Learning Resources. All four articles contain potentially controversial recommendations for screening and prevention.
· Select one article on which to focus for this Discussion.
· Analyze how the epidemiologic data could be used to formulate policy for improving population health.
By Day 3
Post a cohesive scholarly response that addresses the following:
· Summarize the recommendations of your selected article. Discuss ethical considerations and whether or not you believe the recommendations are justified.
· Describe the epidemiological evidence in support of your position.
· Identify whether the screening program you review is population-based or high-risk based and how that influences your assessment.
· How can the reported data be used to move policy forward for improving population health around this issue?

Discussion

Share Your Action Research Study
Action research is a form of inquiry in which a problem is identified and a series of actions are planned as a way of gaining deeper understanding of the range of possible solutions. The purpose of this discussion is to promote reciprocal sharing of your final action research report with others in your community of practice (your peers in this course) who would value the knowledge you have gained through the action research process. In this discussion, you will create a presentation using the software of your choice (e.g., PowerPoint, Google Docs, Present.me, YouTube, Prezi, Jing, SlideRocket, or another program) to present your findings to your school at an after school staff meeting. Include speaker notes if using PowerPoint. If using a program other than PowerPoint, submit a document with speaker notes included for each slide. 
There are two parts to this discussion.
Part 1: Share the process and results of the action research planned in EDU671 and conducted in EDU675. At a minimum:

Describe the purpose of your study by writing a statement that completes the following sentence, “The purpose of this study is to…” (two to three sentences). 
Post your research question(s) – Include definitions of key technical terms, if necessary. (one to three sentences)
Outcomes/Results The “so what?” of your study—Answers to your research questions. (three to four sentences)
Assuming you would conduct another cycle of this study, what specific modifications or adjustments would you make, and why? (three to four sentences)
Explain why this study is important to the school and the students. ( two to three sentences)
Explain why this study is important it is important for teachers and other educational practitioners to become researchers of their own practice. (two to three sentences)

Part 2: 

Attach a link to your ePortfolio (Pathbrite).
In one paragraph, reflect on your experience with the redesign of the Week Three Assignment in terms of challenges you encountered and how you overcame those challenges. Also include how your assessment promotes learning and innovation skills and how it could be used as a tool for ongoing evaluation of student progress.

 
Use the PowerPoint Template as a guide to help create a high quality presentation.
 
Assignment
Research and Educational Change
One aspect of professional development that educators can participate in is that of educational conferences. While you may at some point have participated in an educational conference as an attendee, you have the opportunity in this assignment to think as a presenter! This assignment will also provide you the opportunity to create a Curriculum Vitae (CV) and cover letter. 
In this assignment, you will take your discussion presentation you prepared for the staff meeting and convert it into a poster that you could use at an academic conference. As well, often when submitting a poster proposal, you include a CV and cover letter that highlight your experience and research interests. 
Historically, a conference poster session involves use of a large poster-board style document as a reference when speaking with conference attendees about your research or practical experiences with a topic. Increasingly, the poster session involves handouts in digital format transferred through QR codes or another medium and may involve a television or other screen display to communicate your research at an academic conference. Always, your poster presentation contains a title, introduction to your question, overview of your approach, results from your study or experience, and your planned next steps in applying or expanding the study or experience. Additionally, the poster provides information about literature related to the poster topic, usually a selected listing of previously published articles that are important to your research, and a brief acknowledgement to those who helped you with the study. 
Your poster, in whatever format it is presented at the conference, is effective if it can be scanned and comprehended at a high level in around five minutes. Usually you will be present with your poster to explain points and answer questions in an authentic conference experience. 
Using the Poster Presentation Template, create your assignment to meet the content and written communication expectations below. Upload your assignment to the course for evaluation and to your ePortfolio (Pathbrite).

Sociology touch stone 1 | Sociology homework help

 
Touchstones are projects that illustrate your comprehension of the course material, help you refine skills, and demonstrate application of knowledge. You can work on a Touchstone anytime, but you must pass your Milestone before you submit it. Once you’ve submitted a Touchstone, it will be graded and counted toward your final course score.
This Touchstone provides an opportunity for you to practice developing a research plan for a real-world topic that interests you. Throughout this course you will read about the results and conclusions of many different sociological studies; this Touchstone is where you can practice the skills of conducting such a study. You will use the materials you develop for this Touchstone for a later Touchstone.
This Touchstone will further strengthen your problem-solving skill, while reinforcing the content from the lesson. You will analyze your research topic of choice, while applying the problem-solving skills from the unit. By considering the dynamics of community groups, you will also strengthen your relationship building and self and social awareness skills.
Touchstone 1: Developing a Research Plan
SCENARIO: Imagine that you work for a nonprofit organization that is focused on increasing diversity in community groups in your area. Your supervisor asks you to develop a sociological study concerning topics of diversity and collaboration in a specific community group of your choice. Eventually you will prepare to share your research with colleagues.
ASSIGNMENT: For this Touchstone, you will begin by formulating a question about diversity in a community group that you have access to. Then you will use the steps of the scientific method to prepare a research plan, including a bibliography for a literature review. As you learned, sociologists follow the scientific method so that their results are both scientifically valid and useful to the greater sociological community. A literature review allows researchers to learn from completed studies and to build upon their conclusions.
Use the following Touchstone template to fill in your research plan as you develop it. When you have finished, submit this template to move on to the next unit.
Touchstone 1 Template
Touchstone 1 Sample
A. Directions
Step 1: Pick a Topic
Select a community group to study. Some examples of community groups you might explore include:

An activity-based group like a book club, a soccer team, or a community choir
A religious or ideological community such as a church congregation or a local political party
A community organization like a Parent Teacher Association (PTA), a neighborhood association, or the volunteer committee at a local soup kitchen
An identity-based organization such as a social club for veterans or a fraternal type organization

It should be a group in which membership is voluntary and recreational. Avoid:

Families
Workplaces
Ethnic or racial categories
Friend groups

You might wish to choose a group that you are a part of, or you might not. You can use your personal experience with the group to form the basis of your research question. Or you can ask members of the group about their experiences, which will help you develop your research question.
In the template, write a paragraph (approximately 6-8 sentences) describing the community group you have chosen. In particular, be sure to answer the following questions:

What is the community group?
What are the attributes or characteristics of this community group? (e.g. What activities does this group do together? What element of the members’ interests or identities brings them together? How is membership in the group defined, if at all?)
What kind of experience with or access to this community group do you have?

Step 2: Ask a Question
Next, you will formulate a question related to this group, and to topics related to diversity and/or collaboration. You might think about diversity in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, socioeconomic status, or along multiple intersecting identities. Be sure to use what you learned in Unit 1 about the ways sociologists ask questions.
Examples:

What are the challenges of a mom’s community organization in appealing to moms with children of different ages?
How does a group of car enthusiasts reach out to the surrounding community to get support for their events?
How has the Boy Scouts accepting girls impacted their mission and programs?
Do gender segregated sports teams for kids help maintain traditional gender roles?

In the template, write the question you have formulated for your study. Be sure to identify the Independent and Dependent variables and identify them correctly. (HINT: Refer back to Lesson 1.3.3: Asking Questions and Lesson 1.3.5: Formulating a Hypothesis for help.)
Step 3: Prepare a Bibliography
Finally, you will begin developing a bibliography for a review of the existing literature that relates to your question. Before conducting a full literature review, a sociologist will build a bibliography, or a list of potential sources that they will read and study in greater depth in the review.
Collect 4-6 articles, books, or other resources that relate to your question and list them in your template. You don’t have to look into these materials in depth right now! You’ll review this literature more closely in a later Touchstone, and you will also be exposed to additional relevant research and frameworks in Unit 3. You’ll also be able to add to or amend your bibliography before your Touchstone in Unit 3.
Attributes of good readings for your literature review:

They are academic, scholarly works about research findings, or they are reliable journalistic reporting based on scientifically credible and reliable data.
They should have been published in the last 20 years—unless they are a landmark work on the topic and provide important background or as a comparison.
They look at different sides of the argument and a variety of perspectives.
They do not have to be written by sociologists or published in sociology journals, but they should be academic and not popular works.

Where to find readings: More than likely you will use a major search engine like Google Scholar. Start your search by identifying key search terms related to your research question, to generate relevant results. Google Scholar specifically searches scholarly literature. However, keep in mind that much of this literature may have limited or paid access. Another good place to search is in a public library or university library catalog or database. You might also want to try regular Google, but you will have to be careful to screen your results and make sure you only select academic sources. Whichever way you choose to search, make sure that you are selecting credible sources.
What makes a source credible? Credible sources are written by authors who are well known in their field. They are based on scientific data—not opinions or with biased observations. Sources should be from reliable outlets, like major publishers, universities, think tanks, and credentialed current practitioners. (HINT: Refer back to Lesson 1.3.4: Researching Existing Sources for more guidance.)
How to format sources in your bibliography: Sociologists use American Psychological Association (APA) format for their research. However, you will use a more simplified method to format sources for your bibliography. You will include five key elements for each source, with each element separated by a period:

Author’s name(s)
Publisher and publication date
Title of the source, in quotation marks
Page numbers (if applicable)
