1. It is important to not only develop active lifestyles but also to minimize time spent being inactive (or sedentary). A specific Healthy People 2020 goal focuses on reducing the percentage of people who watch more than 2 hours of TV per day. What can you do to reduce the amount of time you spend being sedentary? Create your action plan.

2. Patterns of physical activity vary considerably by gender, age, ethnicity, socio-economic status, and other demographic variables. Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conduct regular surveillance of physical activity and other health behaviors to understand patterns and trends in the population. One of the more frequently cited survey instruments is the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). Based on the data, approximately 50 percent of Americans report getting regular physical activity (defined in this survey as 301 minutes of moderate physical activity 5 or more days per week, or vigorous physical activity for 201 minutes 3 or more days per week). The website for the BRFSS (www.cdc.gov/brfss/) allows users to examine patterns and trends in health behaviors by a variety of demographic variables and to see the activity levels within specific states.

How do patterns or trends look in your state?

3. The U.S. Physical Activity Guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) indicate that adults should get a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate activity each week (e.g., 30 minutes five days a week). However, performing 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week also meets the guidelines.

Do you think 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week is a realistic goal for most people?

4. Lab 6a – Self monitoring of moderate activity

The purpose of the project is to create a use case diagram and activity diagram for A Video
Store (AVS) System.

Exercise Narrative

A Video Store (AVS) runs a series of fairly standard DVD video stores. Before a video can be put on the
shelf, it must be cataloged and entered into the video database. Every customer must have a valid AVS
customer card in order to rent a video. Customers rent videos for three days at a time. Every time a
customer rents a video, the system must ensure that they do not have any overdue videos. If so, the
overdue videos must be returned and an overdue fee paid before customer can rent more videos.
Likewise, if the customer has returned overdue videos, but has not paid the overdue fee, the fee must
be paid before new videos can be rented. Every morning, the store manager prints a report that lists
overdue videos. If a video is two or more days overdue, the manager calls the customer to remind
them to return the video. If a video is returned in damaged condition, the manager removes it from the
video database and may sometimes charge the customer. AVS offers different types of memberships
you can pay as you go $5 per DVD or subscribe to a monthly service for $50 that offers one daily DVD,
or subscribe monthly for $100 that offers unlimited DVD rentals. Types of payments accepted are
Cash, Check, Credit card.

(My textbook is : White, J.M., Martin, T.F., Bartolic, S. K. (2013). Families across the life course. Toronto: Pearson.)

Students will complete a research paper as the final assignment in the course. The paper or presentation will serve as a vehicle for a focussed analysis of an issue in family relations across the life course. Students will explore the issue in depth using scholarly research (journal articles) as the foundation for reflection and critique

This assignment has 2 parts to it. Part A, the Research Paper Plan is intended to support students in organizing and developing the research paper.

Students will share, or workshop, their formative research paper plan (Part A) within class, providing feedback to fellow students using the rubric developed to guide this assignment.

Part A will include:

(1) A description of the thesis—a centrally clear and concise topic, argument, or purpose of the paper;

(2) An annotated bibliography of 6-8 scholarly resources that will inform and support the paper’s thesis; and,

(3) An outline or overview of the paper’s anticipated content/layout.

Part A will consist of: a cover page with the student name, student number, course title, and suggested paper title; 3-4 pages of annotated bibliographical content; and a final page of the paper’s anticipated outline. This research plan will be in 12 point font; double-spaced; page-numbered; and with American Psychological Association (APA) style reference citations (6th edition).

(I need Part A first , before November 13th. When i received feedback of part A, i will send to you. Then you can begin the Part B)

Part B: Students will incorporate feedback received on Part A from their group members and from the professor in the development of the final Research Paper – Part B. Part B will include a cover page with the student name, student number, course title, and final paper title; 6-8 pages of essay content; and a reference list. This assignment will be in 12 point Arial font; double-spaced; page-numbered; and with American Psychological Association (APA) style reference citations (6th edition).

You are hired as a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of a startup company, which has two branches; one Los Angeles and one in San Francisco.

The following needs to be included in your presentation:

• A Network topology diagram.
• Network protocols recommendation.
• Cost of implementation of the overall solution
• Cloud-based collaborative Productivity software to allow the two offices to share information and list its key features.

Choose a delivery method from the following to present your explanation to the Board of Directors:
