    · Do people who are sensitive to “proportion and grace” tend to be sensitive to truth? If so, why might this be? What is the relation between truth and beauty?
    · Socrates says at 485c that philosophers “must never willingly tolerate falsehood in any form.” What then of the marriage lotteries ( 459c-460a ) and the myth of the metals ( 414c-415d )? Is this not the toleration, indeed the propagation, of falsehood? How might Socrates defend himself against the charge of inconsistency? Consider what he says at the end of Book II about lying and the divine ( 382a-e ).
    ? What makes a good political leader? Is the challenge of politics above all an intellectual problem, a matter of thinking through what is best for the city and how to achieve it?

    Final Portfolio
    Your Art of Creative Writing
    Your work this week will conclude with the submission of your Final Portfolio.
    The Final Portfolio will contain copies of your work in all three genres (fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry).
    It is not just a collection of final drafts, but a representation of the level to which you engaged the writing process in each genre.
    As such, you will be compiling all three drafts (initial draft, revised draft, and a portfolio draft) for each genre.
    Each subsequent draft must demonstrate substantial revision as you refine your work toward inclusion in the portfolio. This is your final opportunity to strengthen word choice, imagery, and thematic elements and correct mechanical errors, spelling, and punctuation.
    In addition, building from the questions examined in this week’s module, you must compose and include as part of the portfolio a reflection in which you examine what creative writing means to you.
    Again, the Final Portfolio is an opportunity to showcase your most polished work from the term. The pieces you include here represent your best vision of fully realized and compelling creative work.
    What Goes in a Final Portfolio?
    Below is an outline of the portfolio contents. These eight sections should be organized as follows:
    Cover page
    that includes an original title for your portfolio, as well as your name.
    Dedication page
    that dedicates the writing you did during the term to someone who inspires you.
    Table of Contents,
    which lists the contents of your portfolio with page numbers.
    Introduction/Self-Assessment
    is an opportunity to reflect on the course, as well as what you believe your final grade should be based on the work you produced. Tell me what worked in the course for you, what you would change, etc. Most students write a paragraph or so for this part.
    Fiction
    : Include your initial draft, revised draft, and final revision. The final revision you include will be a representation of your best work.
    Creative Nonfiction
    : Include your initial draft, revised draft, and final revision. The final revision you include will be a representation of your best work.
    Poetry Collection
    : Include your initial draft, revised draft, and final revision. The final revision you include will be a representation of your best work.
    Other Writing Assignments
    : Please pick four of your minor weekly assignments and include them in the final portfolio. These should be the submissions that you are most proud of, and believe represent some of your best work this term. Please revise these and make sure they are free of grammatical and spelling mistakes. Your discussion board prompts can be from any week and any assignment.
    How should you think about revising your portfolio?
    This is a creative class. You are the creator. For the portfolio, you will decide what needs revising and what should remain as is. But please, challenge yourself. Remember that writing is a process, so no work is ever really finished. But with the term lasting only seven weeks, we must present our work in whatever way we feel works best for our creative process. The copies included in the portfolio should be fresh copies without markings on them.
    How long should your portfolio be?
    You may be wondering, “How long does this stuff have to be?” In reality, there is no page length requirement. As long as you have the necessary components in this portfolio, it will be as long as it needs to be. I know that may not be specific enough for some people, but use the feedback you received over the course of the term to help dictate what you may need to do to craft a final portfolio that represents your best work.
    Final Thoughts
    A portfolio is ONE document. I will not go looking for previously submitted work. It is your responsibility to compile everything as assigned. As the directions outline, you should submit all pieces in the order written. You can simply write the name of the story or poem on the top of the page that your story or poem is written on.
    Be sure to have proofread your final drafts. Make them as perfect as can be. You don’t want a silly typo distracting your readers from an otherwise wonderfully, fully developed piece of writing.
    Portfolios will not be returned or commented on as final grades are due shortly after the portfolios are submitted. I will read through your work and determine final grades based on the evaluation of your work throughout the term.

  • [ANSWERED] You have recently been promoted to the position of manager for a small organisation in the health…

    You have recently been promoted to the position of manager for a small organisation in the health industry where the primary role of workers is patient care. The PCBU has asked you to take on the responsibility for managing health and safety in the workplace as part of your role. The PCBU has admitted health and safety has not been a high priority in the workplace to date but a couple of recent near misses have made them think perhaps it should be.
    Outline how you would establish and manage health and safety processes for this organisation.
    You should explain, in detail, how you would:
    collect relevant information about health and safety legislation and requirements and communicate it to stakeholders
    collect, collate, present and use information on health and safety requirements, trends and risk controls
    implement and monitor processes for ensuring that health and safety records are accurately completed, collected and stored in accordance with legal requirements and workplace procedures
    review records and recordkeeping processes to ensure that legal requirements are addressed
    put into practice consultative and participative processes to identify health and safety requirements in the context of the particular workplace and to ensure that work group members have an opportunity to contribute to decisions that could affect their health and safety
    promptly resolve issues raised through consultation
    develop and implement health and safety action plans and monitor and update them as required
    provide information and feedback from consultation to workers in readily accessible and understandable formats
    ensure that recordkeeping procedures act to capture the necessary information and to hold it in useable forms
    ensure hazard, incident, and injury reporting and investigation processes are in place and contribute effectively to the development of risk controls that are consistent with the hierarchy of control and are monitored to ensure they achieve what they are intended to achieve
    put processes in place to identify and address any health and safety implications of either proposed or implemented changes to the workplace, work processes or organisation of work
    access the knowledge and skills of experts
    provide suitable induction and training for all workers using the skills of health and safety and training specialists as required
    support the involvement of all stakeholders in continuous improvement processes

    You are working for the Attorney General’s Office of International Law (OIL). The Attorney-General requests a brief of the role of international law during the current pandemic, and an understanding of Australia’s legal obligations during this crisis. In discussing this, the Attorney-General asks you to have particular regard to the following issues:
    1.In brief, discuss the WHO International Health Regulations and how they are relevant to responding to COVID-19. What is the legal nature and force of these Regulations –where do they fit into the Sources of International Law?
    2. Are travel restrictions in response to COVID-19 in conformity with international legal obligations? What considerations must a state make in imposing such restrictions?
    3. Do states have a right to derogate from obligations contained in international human rights treaties in their responses to the pandemic? In answering this question please provide 2 examples of the curtailment of human rights during COVID and whether these were lawful under International Human Rights Law. The examples selected need not relate to Australian responses to the pandemic, and can involve practices of other nations.
    4. Do obligations in human rights treaties apply extraterritorially? In other words, do states have duties beyond their own borders when responding to the COVID pandemic. In answering this question, refer to the principles of treaty interpretation and considerations of jurisdiction, and relevant scholarship on this issue. 2/500 words

  • [ANSWERED] Your task is to program the code for “The Black Box”….

    Your task is to program the code for “The Black Box”. You have been given a template code file into which your code will be placed. The Black Box takes 3 digital inputs (I1, I2 and I3) and generates the values of 2 digital outputs (Q1 and Q2) based on these. There is an additional input (I4) which makes the black box operate with the inverse logic to usual, that is – it inverts the values of Q1 and Q2 which would usually be displayed for a given state of I1, I2 and I3. There is one additional output which is on when none of the other outputs (Q1 or Q2) are activated, to show that the unit is operational but outputting two zero values. The input and output details are as follows: Digital Inputs: I1: Digital Input 1 I2: Digital Input 2 I3: Digital Input 3 I4: Inverse Operation Option Digital Outputs: Q1: Digital Output 1 Q2: Digital Output 2 Q3: Q1 and Q2 both zero The code is to be programmed in FBD (Functional Block Diagram) language using the template file provided.
