Religion
Religious activities around the world Many religions may have organized behaviors, clergy, a definition of what constitutes adherence or membership, holy places, and scriptures. The practice of a religion may include rituals, sermons, commemoration or veneration (of a deity, gods or goddesses), sacrifices, festivals, feasts, trance, initiations, funerary services, matrimonial services, meditation, prayer, music, art, dance, public service or other aspects of human culture. Religions may also contain mythology.[2] Etymology Religion (from O.Fr. religion "religious community," from L. religionem (nom. religio) "respect for what is sacred, reverence for the gods,"[11] "obligation, the bond between man and the gods"[12]) is derived from the Latin religiō, the ultimate origins of which are obscure. Many languages have words that can be translated as "religion", but they may use them in a very different way, and some have no word for religion at all.

Philosophy Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.[1][2] Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument.[3] In more casual speech, by extension, "philosophy" can refer to "the most basic beliefs, concepts, and attitudes of an individual or group".[4] The word "philosophy" comes from the Ancient Greek φιλοσοφία (philosophia), which literally means "love of wisdom".[5][6][7] The introduction of the terms "philosopher" and "philosophy" has been ascribed to the Greek thinker Pythagoras.[8] Areas of inquiry Philosophy is divided into many sub-fields. These include epistemology, logic, metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics.[9][10] Some of the major areas of study are considered individually below. Epistemology Rationalism is the emphasis on reasoning as a source of knowledge. Logic

Product Breakdown Structure Quand on nous confie un nouveau projet, il est sage de commencer à mettre à plat ce qu’on attend réellement de nous, délimiter précisément les attentes du commanditaire du projet, y compris si c’est nous-même, nous devons savoir où nous allons puis ensuite il est encore plus sage de découper notre projet en tâches … Alors “keep cool”, ouvrons la boite à outils du gestionnaire de projet et sortons-en aujourd’hui le PBS (Product Breakdown Structure)… Mais avant toute chose, clarifions l’objectif du projet Vérifiez quand même que vous comprenez ce qu’on attend de vous. Utilisez par exemple la célèbre méthode SMART pour qualifier vos objectifs. Demandez-vous l’objectif de mon projet est-il vraiment … SMART ? ==> SMART = Specific + Measurable + Attainable + Relevant + Time-bound L’objectif de votre projet doit être clair, précis et mesurable. · Spécific (spécifique) : Mon objectif est-il bien clair comme de l’eau de roche, je le comprends très bien Claire Cornic

Religion Pantheon List of Gods Roman PaganismThe religion of Rome If anything, the Romans had a practical attitude to religion, as to most things, which perhaps explains why they themselves had difficulty in taking to the idea of a single, all-seeing, all-powerful god. The origins of Roman Religion Most of the Roman gods and goddesses were a blend of several religious influences. It could even occur that a deity was worshipped, for reasons no-one really could remember. Prayer and Sacrifice Most form of religious activity required some kind of sacrifice.

Chinese spiritual world concepts Chinese spiritual world concepts are cultural practices or methods found in Chinese culture. Some fit in the realms of a particular religion, others do not. In general these concepts were uniquely evolved from the Chinese values of filial piety, tacit acknowledgment of the co-existence of the living and the deceased, and the belief in causality and reincarnation, with or without religious overtones. Practices and Beliefs[edit] Modes of Communication[edit] Figures[edit] Gwai ren (貴人) - Someone who can help you. Objects[edit] Peach wood sword (桃木劍) - the definitive weapon used for demon exorcism during Taoist exorcism.[8] The ones from Long Mountain in Jiangxi province are particularly valued as the premium quality peach wood swords.[8]Stone tablets (石敢當) - the tablets are placed at main doors, junctions of small avenues, three-way junctions, river banks or ponds to gather positive energy and ward off evil spirit.

Analyse des risques du projet Même si on ne peut pas vraiment tout prévoir et disons-le, tant mieux, car cela fait partie du côté aventurier de la gestion de projets, on peut tout de même identifier quelques risques et les prévenir. Donc pour bien préparer le lancement de votre projet, ne négligez pas la gestion des risques qui consiste à identifier les principaux risques, communiquer sur les risques et réfléchir aux actions pour prévenir les risques. Gérer les risques, pourquoi faire? Gérer les risques, c’est essentiel pour réagir en cas de survenance d’événements venant déstabiliser le projet. Dès la phase d’analyse du projet, il est important de simplement se poser la question des aléas qui peuvent survenir au cours de votre projet et des solutions que vous pourriez y apporter. Ce qu’on attend de votre part en terme de gestion de risques : Comment identifier les risques de mon projet? Posez- vous simplement la question : quel(s) est/sont les points faible(s) de mon projet? Et quelques actions préventives … Claire Cornic
