In the United States, 32% of adults eat a vegetarian diet (Vegetarianism in America, n.d.). What does the term “vegetarian” mean?  Do you think vegetarian diets are practical? That is, can someone easily be a vegetarian while living the typical American life of being rushed and busy?
3.  Vegetarian diets are associated with a lower risk of obesity and diabetes as well as other chronic conditions (Marsh, Zeuschner, & Saunders, 2012). Clearly a vegetarian diet can be a healthy one, but can a vegetarian diet lack nutrients? If so, which nutrients may be lacking? How could these nutrients be measured in the body to determine if someone is deficient in them? Are there vegetarian foods that provide these nutrients or would supplementation be necessary? Are there any interactions to be aware of with the supplements that a vegetarian may take?
4.  Do you think that a vegetarian diet would be costlier than a nonvegetarian diet?
5.  Look at the meals you ate in your 3-days diet record. Do any of your meals contain no meat? Choose one of your meals that contain meat and modify it to be vegetarian. Would you eat the modified meal?

A 45-year-old grocery sales clerk has been suffering from bouts of severe pain in his left flank region. He blamed it on prolonged standing for 8 hours straight while working. He was taking over-the-counter pain medications for his pain. One day, he found fresh blood in his urine. He went to a doctor who performed urine tests, CT scans, and x-rays. He was diagnosed with urinary calculi.
1.  Discuss possible factors that may have been responsible for the development of the stone and use this case to show how the patient’s diet and water intake can help analyze the composition of the calculi.
2.  What would be the test results of his white blood cells, blood calcium levels, CT scan, and x-ray?
3.  Suggest the best treatment for the patient and a plan to prevent recurrence post-treatment.

exception to the great civilizations of the past (ancient China, Rome, Egypt, etc.) in that American society was not ruled by a monarch or religious official but by the people. The years between the establishment of the Constitution and the Civil War posed a significant challenge to the concept of the “people’s rule” in America

n exception to the great civilizations of the past (ancient China, Rome, Egypt, etc.) in that American society was not ruled by a monarch or religious official but by the people. The years between the establishment of the Constitution and the Civil War posed a significant challenge to the concept of the “people’s rule” in America. Construct an argumentative essay that discusses the challenges that the expansion of the federal government, the Industrial Revolution, and, most importantly, chattel slavery posed to American freedom and democracy. Why were these issues so challenging and what did America do to “restore” power to the people?
It may be helpful to consider the following issues:

  • The Northwest Ordinance
  • Internal Slave Trade
  • Industrialization/Lowell,      Massachusetts
  • Urbanization
  • The Missouri Compromise
  • Texas annexation
  • The Compromise of 1850
  • The Kansas-Nebraska Act
  • The Dred Scott Decision
  • Gettysburg Address
  • Black Codes
  • 13th, 14th,      and 15th Amendments

*** You are expected to treat this question with the same consideration you would any other essay. It should have a thesis. It should be properly organized. It should be written in complete sentences. I do not expect citations. I do expect that you appropriately engage course material.

Imagine a gaming company has many computer systems but no formal methodology to make changes to these systems. As the IT Manager, the CIO has asked you to draft a change management methodology proposal.

Imagine a gaming company has many computer systems but no formal methodology to make changes to these systems. As the IT Manager, the CIO has asked you to draft a change management methodology proposal.
Prepare a 4- to 6-page change management methodology proposal that details the steps that must be taken when a change is recommended for any system. Include the following:

  • IT governance committee you would put in place to review and prioritize changes based on business needs and objectives and the severity of the change
  • A mock-up of the form the stakeholder fills out to request a system change (a stakeholder would be an end-user, manager, or IT staff member)
  • The process used to evaluate system changes and Service Level Agreements (SLAs), including any effect on budgeting and resources, such as time or people, or the severity of the change
  • The decision-making process used to determine whether internal staff or contractors should be used to complete a system change; include IT sourcing and contracting recommended practices
  • The importance of configuration management requirements and their impact on business processes or services
  • The methods you would use for handling conflict and other problems, such as failure to meet SLAs as they arise during a project
  • The process you would use to evaluate the success of the system change
