hey, i need help with final project for Information System class. i want you to do the last two parts : 1- Discussion and result.(2 pages) 2- conclusion(one page). based on the research information provided. the research about “Smart T-shirt”. you can find all the information you need in the Word file doc uploaded below. also i want you to do three PP presentaion slides about these parts with some extra notes.

Q1:In Harvard Business Review’s article, “10 Truths About Marketing After the Pandemic”, select two of the ten points you believe will be most significant for marketers and elaborate as to why they impressed you as being most important.”

Q2:Why sneakers are a great investmentJosh Luber is a “sneakerhead,” a collector of rare or limited sneakers. With their insatiable appetite for exclusive sneakers, these tastemakers drive marketing and create hype for the brands they love, specifically Nike, which absolutely dominates the multi-billion dollar secondary market for sneakers. Luber’s company, Campless, collects data about this market and analyzes it for collectors and investors. In this talk, he takes us on a journey into this complicated, unregulated market and imagines how it could be a model for a stock market for commerce.Josh Luber

Answer the following questions:

1. What other companies, other than another shoe company, do you believe could create a similar secondary market like Nike did, to raise its brand image and increase its market share?

2. As the video discussed, individuals earn nearly $400 million per year reselling Nike tennis shoes. How could Nike potentially capture some or all of this profit for its own organization?

3. This video demonstrated how a powerful company created a powerful secondary market. How might consumers create a powerful secondary market?

Rhonda Crowder and Hough Reads battle widespread illiteracy: Cleveland Champions

Updated Dec 13, 2019; Posted Nov 29, 2019

Rhonda Crowder, 45, coordinator of Hough Reads, has been encouraging children and adults in the Hough neighborhood to read, read, read. Here, Crowder stands by a mural near Hough Avenue, painted a month ago by local artist Brandon Graves. Crowder is one of this year’s recipients of the Cleveland City Champions award. Lisa DeJong/The Plain DealerLisa DeJong/The Plain Dealer

By Sharon Broussard | Special to The Plain Dealer

This story is part of The Plain Dealer’s Cleveland City Champions series, which honors people and organizations that have done bold, innovative work to lift up a neighborhood or a community. The series was produced in partnership with The Guardian and with public broadcaster?Ideastream. To read about other Cleveland City Champions, go to tinyurl.com/CleChampions (Links to an external site.)

1. CLEVELAND, Ohio — As youngsters listened to Cleveland City Council Member Basheer Jones read a children’s story at the Hough Public Library two summers ago, a mother of three tapped Rhonda Crowder on the shoulder and pulled her aside.
2. “Sister, I can’t read,” the embarrassed woman whispered.
3. “That helped me understand the magnitude of the problem” said Crowder, who is the volunteer coordinator of Hough Reads, a family literacy program.
4. Crowder helped the woman find an adult literacy program. In the process, she discovered that she had volunteered to serve on the front lines of a major battle in Hough. Experts believe that Hough has one of Cleveland’s highest illiteracy rates.
5. According to a 2000 study, about 95% of Hough residents over 16 could read so poorly that they could barely figure out a map or calculate fees. The figure was 97% in Kinsman, reported Case Western Reserve University’s Center for Urban Poverty and Community Development.
6. Crowder has lived in Hough for most of her life, so the problem is right in her own back yard. That helped cement her dedication to Hough Reads.
7. Rhonda Crowder, 45, coordinator of Hough Reads, re-fills the Little Free Library outside of the Hough Multipurpose Center. Crowder is one of this year’s recipients of the Cleveland City Champions award. Lisa DeJong/The Plain DealerLisa DeJong/The Plain Dealer
8. The program is the brainchild of Margaret Bernstein, WKYC’s director of advocacy and community initiatives, who is using neighborhood advocates and little free libraries, those wooden standing boxes filled with books, to encourage impoverished communities to read.
9. Crowder is a published author who once worked for the Call and Post newspaper in Cleveland. She stepped up, with an assist from her art-director friend Wayne Dailey, said Bernstein.
10. Over the last two summers, Crowder has put up banners on street poles along Hough Ave. starring the neighborhood’s most dedicated readers. She has organized family literacy nights where local celebrities read books at Hough Library. She held a book club night for adults at the Chateau Hough winery. She kept Hough’s Little Free Library, decorated with a Marvel superhero theme, stacked with books, courtesy of the Kids Book Bank in Cleveland.
11. She also distributed free books to places like Rainey Institute, aware that many children don’t have any books at home besides textbooks. “Every time we do that, we leave without any books,” Crowder said. “Some adults even ask for books.”
12. “It’s really beyond my dreams,” said Bernstein, who said that Crowder had helped get books to dozens of children in Hough.
13. Jones said Hough Reads is a “powerful program” that he wanted in Hough to join other available social services, from free diapers to a food pantry.
14. “It was really wonderful,” said Hough library manager Lexy Kmiecik. She said the program encourages children and parents to read books and to talk about literacy while at the grocery store or waiting for the bus.
15. The program’s greatest obstacle is a lack of funding, said Crowder.
16. Councilman Jones and Neighborhood Connections have provided as much as $15,000 for the installation of the banners and the family meals at the library. Crowder also has spent about $700 of her own money, buying books and other supplies. “I don’t have any children, so I can’t take it with me when I die,” she said softly.
17. Tanisha Robinson, an instructor with Adult Education Services with the Cuyahoga County Library, right, helps student Marvin Brown, left, study for his GED test at the Hough Multipurpose Center. This class is with the Aspire Greater Cleveland Program. Rhonda Crowder, 45, coordinator of Hough Reads, (not pictured here) connected with the Cuyahoga County Library and asked for GED classes to be moved to a better-served location at the Hough Multipurpose Center. Lisa DeJong/The Plain DealerLisa DeJong/The Plain Dealer
18. She has another reason for her generosity, as well. As a child, she drew hope from books.
19. She grew up in Hough, an honor roll student who was the child of literate blue collar workers. Her grandfather read the newspaper every day. However, as she started high school, she lost hope in her future. She started skipping school — and books.
20. “I began to realize that we didn’t have much money and there was no savings for me to go to college. So I started saying, ‘I will just hang out with the group on the corner.’” She became a serious student in her senior year and managed to graduate, but she still didn’t think that education mattered, she said.
21. She started reading again after a mentor gave her a copy of Maya Angelou’s book, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.” Crowder had never heard of Angelou but she devoured the book, moved by the eloquence of the writing and how Angelou overcame challenges in her life. After she finished it, she called Cuyahoga Community College and enrolled in school, eventually receiving her bachelor’s degree in English from Cleveland State University and becoming a writer.
22. Crowder wants to do more to get children and their parents to read for pleasure. She hopes to put signs about reading on RTA’s 38 bus, which rolls down Hough Ave. Strong reading skills can change the lives of Hough’s next generation of adults, she said.
23. “I always say, imagine if that 95% became literate, what could happen?” she said. “What kind of neighborhood could they create? What kind of life could they create for their children, for their families? I want a better life for them.”

Create a PowerPoint presentation with the following 4 elements:

• Provide an overview—and discuss the function—of 1 publicly financed health care program in the United States.
• How has that program evolved and influenced the entire U.S. health care system?
• What are some of the accomplishments and challenges for that program?
• What does that program do to focus on health prevention and performance?

The PowerPoint presentation should be 6-8 slides in length (excluding title and reference slides). Include 100–200 words in each Notes section.

Every person has a story that has led them to a career. Since there are a variety of health professions that “help” others, please go beyond your initial interaction or experience with physical therapy, and share the deeper story that has confirmed your decision to specifically pursue physical therapy as your career.

Deborah Butterfield, Rory, 1992, Assemblage

Overview

The way an artist manipulates form (medium, visual elements, design principles) in a work of art directly impacts the content, or how the work is understood by the viewer. Moreover, great masters such as Donatello, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh often pushed the boundaries of materials to explore creative approaches that were very different from prevailing trends.

Many artists after World War II also became disenchanted with conventional approaches to making art. They couldn’t see themselves painting something as banal as a vase of flowers or a reclining nude after witnessing the atomic bomb, global destruction, and the death of millions during the Holocaust. As a result, artists began to look for new materials and approaches to help them celebrate their personal identity and better express how they felt about the world. New content called for a new expressive approach.

Assemblage

Assemblage was the most important new approach, but it was not a medium in the traditional sense. Assemblage artists work extensively with found, recycled, and discarded materials. Pablo Picasso, Joseph Cornell, Robert Rauschenberg, Bruce Conner, Betye Saar, and Edward Kienholz, among others, are all notable artists who worked in Assemblage.

Your Assignment

In this Discussion, you will write and post a 550-750 word Formal Analysis (also referred to as Visual Analysis) in which you describe and examine the formof a work of art, especially what the medium and composition contribute to its visual power and meaning. Learning how to correctly write a Formal Analysis is a key skill you will develop during this course.

This is not a research paper, but is a paper based on your own observations and original thought. I want you to learn to write about art because it forces you to think critically about what you see, what is visually evident, then examine your thoughts and articulate them clearly. Clear writing issues from clear thinking! 

This Discussion is worth 100 points. Please read the instructions and Grading Rubric before you begin.

DUE DATE

Your first post to this Discussion is due by Sunday, Sept. 26 at 11:59 p.m. 

Your responses to posts by at least two different classmates are due by Sunday, Oct. 3 at 11:59 p.m. 

You must post in the Discussion before you can read your classmates’ posts.

Instructions and Grading Criteria

Before you begin, be sure to review the entire weekly module to better understand the Formal Analysis process. Take notes as you watch each of the videos, and carefully read the entire written commentary on each page in the module. If you are not clear about any of the concepts, or if you are unsure about how to complete this assignment, don’t hesitate to contact me via Canvas Inbox and I will help you.

To earn a high grade, I expect you to correctly apply concepts and terminology from the readings and videos. In addition, you are required to support your key points with frequent observations of the work of art.

• For more help, refer to this Guide to the Visual Elements and Principles of Design Download Guide to the Visual Elements and Principles of Design
• Important! Approach this discussion as you would if you were writing a college paper. In other words, don’t just start writing in the discussion board without having a plan. I recommend that you open a Word document and write a polished 550-750 word paper, then copy and paste this into your discussion post. 

STEP ONE: SELECT AN ARTIST (LISTED BELOW)

In each of the images listed at the bottom of this page, the artist has used materials in a unique way that makes a powerful visual statement. 

Before you make your selection or write your post, scroll all the way to the bottom of this page and review all the images and linked content and videos. As you review the content, take notes. Then select a work of art that you find engaging or that piques your curiosity. Write about the work of art because you care.

STEP TWO: POST IN THE CLASS DISCUSSION

Your post is worth 80 possible points

After you select a work of art, write and post a 550-750 word Formal Analysis (Visual Analysis) in which you describe and examine the form of the work of art, especially what the medium, visual elements, and principles of design contribute to its visual power and meaning. Organize your analysis into four paragraphs, listed below, and follow the instructions. Although not required, it may be helpful to use headings. 

At the beginning of each paragraph, write a concise topic sentence that clearly states what the paragraph is about. This topic sentence will help frame the controlling argument for each paragraph and will help your reader follow your key ideas.

PARAGRAPH ONE: DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT

This paragraph should be between 150-200 words

Post an image of the work of art you are writing about.

In your topic sentence, clearly state the subject and/or identify the main issue, key theme, or narrative (story) the artist is working with. Do this in one sentence. Please note that in non-objective works, the primary subject can often be found among the visual elements or design principles (e.g. color, scale, etc.).

For example: “The Thinker, by French artist Auguste Rodin, is a sculpture of a pensive, yet powerful, male nude.”

Next, describe the overall work as you would to someone who hasn’t seen it. Paint a detailed picture with words. Your description should be so clear and specific that the reader can imagine the work of art in their mind as they read. Do not simply list what you see, but thoroughly describe the different areas of the work. Use lots of adjectives and avoid naming. Move from general to specific observations. If human figures are represented, describe their most dominant characteristics, including expressions, poses, gestures and how they are placed in relation to one another. 

Remember, this is an opening paragraph and you can go into more depth about the medium in the second paragraph.

PARAGRAPH TWO: MEDIUM AND MATERIALS

This paragraph should be between 150-200 words.

In your topic sentence, summarize the artist’s unique approach to using their medium and materials to create their work. Do this in one sentence. Remember that this paragraph is about the physical process of making the work and not the visual elements or design principles.

For example: “Rodin’s expressive approach to modeling his sculpture makes the subject feel more human.”

Next, describe this unique approach in detail, and explain how it impacts, or is integral to, the viewer’s experience of the work. What is the artist trying to say or express by doing it this way? In other words, explain how this approach reinforces the message, theme, or narrative (story) in the work andcontributes to making a powerful visual statement.

You must include 2-3 specific supporting observations from your chosen art object. Each sentence must be clear and descriptive. 

PARAGRAPH THREE: COMPOSITION

This paragraph should be between 150-200 words.

In your topic sentence, clearly state the most dominant visual element or principle of design used to compose the work. Do this in one sentence. Please refer to this helpful Guide to the Visual Elements and Principles of Design. Download Guide to the Visual Elements and Principles of Design.

For example: “Rodin’s exaggeration of the proportions of the hands and feet make the figure seem physically powerful when seen from below.” (In this example, “proportion” is a principle of design.)

Next, describe in rich detail how the artist used this specific visual element or principle of design to organize the work of art. How did the artist’s use of this element or principle underpin the composition and/or become an integral part of what the artist was trying to say or express? In other words, explain how it reinforces the message, theme, or narrative (story) in the work and contributes to making a powerful visual statement.

You must include 2-3 specific supporting observations from your chosen art object. Each sentence must be clear and descriptive. 

PARAGRAPH FOUR: EVALUATION

This paragraph should be between 100-150 words

In your topic sentence, briefly summarize whether or not you think the work of art was effective or successful, and why. Do this in one sentence. After writing the previous three paragraphs, you should be better able to interpret and understand the work of art.

For example: “In The Thinker, Rodin successfully depicts a man who thinks deeply, yet has the physical power to act.”

Next, analyze your own reaction to the work of art and evaluate its effectiveness in more detail. You will explain the reasons why you think the work is successful and support your reasoning with 2-3 direct references to the work of art you selected. 

You may wish to consider the following:

What initial ideas or feelings come to mind after experiencing the work of art?

Do you identify with the work? Based on your life experiences, is it personally relevant to you?

What is it about the work of art that you like the most? The message? The way it was made or composed? 

Are you engaged by the formal characteristics, such as the way the artist used light, color, texture, space, scale, etc?

Discussions 1 – 2:

To give you an opportunity to demonstrate critical thinking about topics in the course, beginning in Unit 03 and Unit 09, a discussion topic will be released where you will provide a response set to a given discussion topic or question posted in the discussion forum.

A response set consists of two parts:

• Personal Response Post – Post a personal response (750-800 words)

Posts must be as close as possible to the specified word limit above. Writing concisely to convey critical thinking about course content is an important academic skill to develop. Making a personal and/or peer response post that is less than or exceeds the specified word limit will affect the grade received.

Content of Posts:

It is expected that the readings for the course (Kastenbaum’s text and Dr. Pitt’s Lecture Notes) and the respective article or A/V clip specific to each Discussion will help inform your responses.

It is important that you provide a balance of your critical thinking and supportive in-text citations. 

The focus on Unit 3 is Dying. As has been discussed so far in this course, there has been a significant shift in how individuals in general view, and discuss, death and dying. Chapter 4 in the text and Dr. Pitt’s Lecture Notes provide interesting information about this important phase of life. Dr. BJ Miller is a physician specializing in hospice and palliative medicine. Through his professional experience, but also a significant personal experience, Dr. Miller advocates for the importance of helping his patients create a dignified, graceful end of life.TED Talk – Dr. BJ Miller – What Really Matters at the End of Life (19 mins)https://www.ted.com/talks/bj_miller_what_really_matters_at_the_end_of_life/up-next?referrer=playlist-new_ways_to_think_about_deathWatch the TED Talk in which Dr. Miller discusses what matters at the end of life.What struck you as interesting with Dr. Miller’s comments – both from your personal and future professional standpoint?What stood out for you in his presentation?What do you want to know more about in relation to supporting individuals who are dying? Note – Do not focus on the brief comments made by Dr. Miller about hospitals and dying. Much has changed in Canada regarding the palliative care of patients in hospitals. In your personal and peer response posts, incorporate material from the TED Talk, the text and Dr. Pitt’s Lecture Notes on Chapter 4 that reflects your understanding of dying. Please see the description of the Discussion Posts in the Assessment section – Table of Contents for the specific parameters of making personal and peer response posts.
