Please paraphrase this paragraph into a short summary..
Good philosophical thinking takes time. Progress in good critical thinking is often very slow. The process of critical thinking can’t be called successful if it efficiently maximizes its inputs and outputs in the shortest measure of time: We do not produce thoughts in the mind like widgets in a factory. The reason for this is because good critical think- ing often needs to uncover that which subtle, hard to discern at first, and easy to overlook. I define subtlety as ‘a small difference or a delicate detail which takes on greater importance the more it is contemplated.’ As a demonstration, think of how many ways you can utter the word ‘Yes’, and mean something different every time. This also underlines the importance of precision, as a good thinking habit. As another example: Think of how the colour planes in a painting by Piet Mondrian, such as his ‘Composition with Yellow, Blue, and Red’ have squares of white framed by black lines, but none of the white squares are exactly the same shade of white. You won’t notice this if you look at the painting for only a few seconds, or if you view a photo of the painting on your computer screen, and your monitor’s resolution isn’t precise enough to render the subtle differences. But it is the job of reason to uncover those subtleties and lay them out to be examined directly. And the search for those subtleties cannot be rushed.

Dave and Sharon are a professional couple in their late 30s. They have managed to save a $200,000 deposit for a house worth $1million. They can take out a mortgage for 4.9% per annum for 30 years. Rent growth rate is 2.5% per annum, inflation rate is 2% per annum, and return on investment is 4% per annum. Cost of selling a home is 2.5% of its value, maintenance and insurance is 1.5% per annum. Ignore other costs.
They can rent a similar property for $650 per month.
Dave believes house prices will grow at 4.5% per annum. If he is correct, are they better off buying or renting?
Sharon is less optimistic than Dave, and thinks that house prices will only grow at 1.6% per annum. If she is correct, are they better off buying or renting?

PROGRAMING in C RPSLS:
The program that we must implement must allow two players to
play in the same console (there will be only one program)
The program will initialize the information necessary to be able to
store the name of two players and their respective markers
throughout the game, to present
a result message at the end of the game.
1. When the program is ready for the game to start, it will ask
PLAYER1 enter your name.
2. It will then ask PLAYER2 to enter their name.
As long as the game is not over (that is, until one of the two
players arrives to 3 points) the program:
• Will ask PLAYER1 to place his bet (can be entered in the form of
numeric code, or in the form of a character string)
• Will ask PLAYER2 to place his bet (similarly)
• Evaluate both bets, and modify the markers of each of the two
players based on bets
• When either of the two players reaches the score of 3 points, it
will be over the game
3. Message will be displayed on the screen that says: "PLAYER NAME1 has won PLAYERNAME2: SCOREBOARD "if PLAYER1 has won, where SCORE will be the result of the game (for example 3-2).
Then it will say "PLAYERNAME2 has lost against PLAYER NAME1: MARKER "because then PLAYER2 will have lost, and MARKER will have the result reversed (for example 2-3). If he player who has won is PLAYER2, the messages will indicate the victory of the PLAYER2 and PLAYER1's defeat.
As soon as the above message is presented, the program will end
the program must NOT have any input parameters at the time of
making
the program call, and all the parameters you might need (names and
bets) will be entered by keyboard (upon presentation of a message
that clearly state what the user is expected to key in (such as,say
your NAME, enter your BET, etc.)

Q4. Assume you have been given a scrambled text file with some hidden text data similar to the one in your assessment. What will be the best method that you will use to unscramble the file and why would you choose this method? Justify your answer. [5 marks] You have collected a digital evidence from a crime scene and calculated its hash value using WinHex editor with MD5 algorithm. You have stored the evidence in a forensics lab. After a week, when you started analysing the evidence, you again calculated the hash value of the evidence using Autopsy and with SHA-1 algorithm. You found that the hash value of the evidence is now changed. Describe why the hash value now is different than the one you calculated when you acquired the evidence? [5 marks]

Recreational Park Project
The public has recognized the benefits of recreation and parks as
essential to their health and quality of life. A recent survey
conducted in 2016 found that the construction of more recreational
facilities was a top priority among residents in Lazarette Town (in
the Caribbean).
As such, the town council in Lazarette, with the help of other key
stakeholders, has sourced and secured three (3) million dollars of
grant funds from the Caribbean Wellness Community (CWC) for the
development of a mini outdoor recreational park on three (3) acres
of land donated by a benevolent resident of the town.
The park will contain sporting facilities among other recreational
facilities (e.g. walking trails, children playground, tennis court,
basketball court, work out stations, benches, shower facilities,
rest rooms etc.). All major key stakeholders and sponsors have
unanimously agreed that that the facility should cater for
residents of all ages. Additionally, a group of minority
stakeholders has expressed their requirements of having an
eco-friendly and climate resilient facility. The park should be
completed and ready for use by 2022, i.e. the project duration
should not exceed two years.
To ensure that the project is completed on time, within scope and
on budget, the funding agency and the Lazarette Town Council
require that a dedicated and knowledgeable project team is assigned
to the project. CWC has expressed the need for the project
deliverables to be of ‘high’ quality to guarantee stakeholders’
satisfaction and safety. The CWC requires that ‘tight’ procurement
processes should be followed to ensure transparency, accountability
and economy. It is anticipated that most of the goods, works and
services for building the park will be procured from vendors,
suppliers and contractors in the town. In addition, CWC has
detailed the need for both positive and negative projects risk to
be properly managed throughout the project.
In response to CWC implied and expressed requirements, the
Lazarette Town Council has selected and appointed your team to
provide project management services for the Recreational Park
Project. As a proactive team, your team has decided to use ‘best
practices’ in project management to plan project activities and get
approval from key project stakeholders before constructing or
building the facility. Give the type and nature of the project, the
intention is to use a traditional/waterfall approach to project
management activities instead of the largely popular and
contemporary agile methodology used other industries.
Your team understands the value of planning before doing, and the
council’s concerns of not losing the grant funding from CWC. In
addition, your team is keen on building a good reputation in
the
town. With a can do attitude and the need to increase the chances
of the project success, the project management team (your 5-member
group) is determined to ensure that the team utilizes the ‘best
practices’ for planning, executing and controlling this valuable
community based project.
1. Create an appropriate quality management plan for the project.
2. Justify the need to effectively manage quality for the
project.

13) A professor's son, having made the wise decision to drop out of college, has been finding his way in life taking one job or another, leaving when his creativity is overly stifled or the employer tires of his creativity. The professor dutifully logs the duration of his son's last few careers and has determined that the average duration is normally distributed with a mean of sixty-six weeks and a standard deviation of ten weeks. The next career begins on Monday; what is the likelihood that it endures for less than a year and a half?
