Is there any public list of people who graduated from the Royal Australian Navy officer school? Thanks!

Who is this person?

The person seated, in suit and red tie. F (talk) 11:26, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He looks like George W. Bush. --Rixxin (talk) 11:49, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And yet he looks like he's not GWB. I reckon it's a Bush impersonator. The text in the 2nd image suggests that the picture was taken in China or Japan. I found a guy named Brent Mendenhall who has appeared as Dubya in Japanese commercials, so maybe it's him. - Cucumber Mike (talk) 14:09, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The two suits are doing a good job at looking like Secret Service, but they don't look nearly as big or as intimidating. And the person pictured looks like he has a longer neck than George W does in most pictures. Encycloshave (talk) 16:10, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It hit the news today. It's Steve Bridges. Thanks everyone. F (talk) 07:28, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not a mannequin, then? —Tamfang (talk) 06:58, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Project Management Standards

[edit]

Investigate and outline the project management standards in south africa.If none exist,consult project management practitioners and consultants in order to develop a suggested standard for south africa. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.185.92.178 (talk) 14:18, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is that an order? Unfortunately, as it says at the top, we can't answer your homework question for you. My suggestion would be for you to do the first part yourself (a simple Google search should give you a good start), and then come back with some specific questions for the second part (e.g. "What project management standards exist in other countries?" - one answer to which would be PRINCE2.) - Cucumber Mike (talk) 14:44, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please do your own homework.
Welcome to Wikipedia. Your question appears to be a homework question. I apologize if this is a misinterpretation, but it is our aim here not to do people's homework for them, but to merely aid them in doing it themselves. Letting someone else do your homework does not help you learn nearly as much as doing it yourself. Please attempt to solve the problem or answer the question yourself first. If you need help with a specific part of your homework, feel free to tell us where you are stuck and ask for help. If you need help grasping the concept of a problem, by all means let us know.
