Mr. K. is a 62-year-old man who lives alone. He was admitted 4 days ago to an extended-care facility on his third postoperative day from a right total knee replacement for care and rehabilitation until he can safely care for himself at home. He is prescribed hydrocodone with acetaminophen (Vicodin) for pain control. The prescription reads: “Vicodin (5?mg hydrocodone; 300?mg acetaminophen) one to two tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain.” He tells you that overall, his pain is not bad except when he comes back from physical therapy. Then it is “really roaring.” He also says he tries to take the drug just at that time so that he does not become addicted. What type of pain is he having? How will you know the severity of “really roaring” pain?  What specific type of drug is Vicodin? What type of change(s) could be made in drug delivery with the current prescription to help relieve his pain more effectively? . What will you tell him about his potential for addiction?  If he were to receive two Vicodin tablets every 4 hours around the clock, what would be his total dose of acetaminophen for the day?  Please answer these questions in an integrated essay that should be about 2 pages. Submit your completed assignment by following the directions linked below. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates. Save your assignment as a Microsoft Word document.

The purpose of this report is to study one Jazz, Blues or Rock N’ Roll music composer/artist from any era. (Creedence Clearwater Revival is the band this paper will be about) After you have chosen your topic and had it approved by the instructor, study your topic in depth and write a 3-5 page report about it. Your textbook provides a very thorough list of music composers. If you have interest in a composer whose name is not in the textbook, it must be approved by the instructor. It is the student’s responsibility to choose a topic for this report.   How to get started:   1)    Select a minimum of 60 minutes’ worth of music from your chosen topicand listen to the music a minimum three times through. Recordings will generally be available online, and some may be available at the library. Before choosing recordings, you should read enough about the composer to know which works are their most significant works. 2)    Read about the composer’s life and music. If there isn’t much in the library about your composer, you can search for magazine and newspaper articles and reviews on the internet. You should spend a considerable amount of time reading, researching and learning about your topic. CD liner notes are also a good source of information, if they are provided.   3)    After your research and listening are complete, organize your notes and the music you listened to, and then answer each of the following questions in list form, in order. Keep your report at no more or less than 3-5 pages in length. No cover page is necessary.   Part I: Basic Information Provide the following basic information about the composer, the music you listened to, and the sources you consulted: A.   Composer’s full name, birth date and location, as well as death date and location (or, if still alive, where s/he lives now)   B.   A complete list of the music you listened to, including all of the following information: composition title, album name and release year   C.   Complete list of your reading resources Example: Grove Online Dictionary of Music: Article on Scott Joplin H.C. Robbins Landon: The Mozart Compendium (Schirmer Books) If you read ten short magazine articles, your list would look like this: The Story of Crosby, Stills and Nash, Rolling Stone Magazine, June 1969 CSN Take Madison Square Garden, New York Times review, July 1970, etc. Note: This is a book and article list rather than a full bibliography, which might be required in another course. For hardcover books, you should include the publisher’s name. For magazines and newspapers, give the name and issue date. You should be able to fit all the above information onto one page. You will need the rest of the pages to answer the short essay questions from Part II below. Part II: Short Essay questions There are 5 questions which should fit on the remaining pages. You can write a little more for some and a little less for others. Write clearly and informatively, and be concise. Demonstrate what you have learned about your composer and his/her music. A.   Why did you choose this composer? Had you heard this music before, or did you discover it for the first time during this project? Discuss aspects of the musical period, the style, or the musician’s catalog that attracted you.   B.   Summarize important events in the composer’s life, such as musical family background, teachers or influences, first artistic successes, and later masterworks. Demonstrate why the composer was significant.   C.   Out of your list of songs by your composer, choose three (3) favorite pieces and write a short essay paragraph about each one. Include the following: a.  Brief description of the work b.  When, where, and why the work was written c.  What you liked about the piece ·         Be as specific as possible. For example, you could say, “I like the way the strings played long running passages – it was very exciting.” ·         Use the techniques we have learned in class to understand the music, and describe it in terms of its specific elements. For example, you could say, “The melody was very regular, but the rhythm was syncopated and uneven.”   D.   Now, of the three works you chose above, take one of your favorite pieces and answer the following question about it: How did this piece make you feel? Be subjective. You may have juxtaposed reactions, or opposite emotions such as happy/sad, relaxed/tense, light/heavy. Choose the words that best describe your feelings about the music. Relate these feelings to the elements of the music itself. For example, you could say, “The slow rhythm and complex harmonies made me feel very tense. It built up to a strong climax, when suddenly, the rhythm became fast and pulsating and the harmonies changed quickly.”   E.   In conclusion, think about the composer you chose and the music you listened to. Answer these questions:   How did listening to this composer’s music and learning about his/her life affect my appreciation of music? What discoveries did I make about the music and about myself as a music listener?The purpose of this question is for you to journal your experience with the music.     Assignment Requirements -Your assignment must be 3-5 pages in length (no more or less), and it must address both Part I and Part II.   – A standard writing style format is preferred but not required.

I need a scholarly article discussing the native populations in/around the Amur river basin and today’s Sino-Russian Border in the East. 1st Reference to consult is “Beyond the Steppe Frontier: A history of the Sino-Russian Border” by Soren Urbansky.  How were the populations integrated into the national identities and societies we see today.  How did the Russian cossacks interact with these populations during Russian expansion?  How did the Chinese/Qing interact with these populations historically before the arrival of the Russians?  How did the Russians see these populations following establishing borders with the Qing? Feel free to organize it how you see fit. Ultimately I’m interested in a paper discussing  1- The living situation of these groups, and their cultural ethnic identities. 2- How the Qing treated them prior to the arrival of the Russians 2- How Russian Imperialism sought to integrate, employ, or displace them into the empire during the expansion period. 3- How Sino-Russian wars resulting in the treaty of Nerchinksk and Peking altered the border and affected the populations therein.  4- What is the demographic makeup of The Primorsky Krai and Khabarovsk Krai today? What happened to those populations?

No sources needed, may consult sites to gather information but put into your own words. The building structure name is: Dome of the Rock it is located in Jerusalem, Israel. Attached is the an image of the building, which is what this paper will be about. The following is an outline of the paper: PART 1: Write a one-page biography of both artists that built the structure. The biography should stress more than just dates and facts: focus on what’s interesting about their career, why the artist is important, their originality, what they’re famous for, etc.  PART 2: Visual Analysis   Analyze the visual forms emphasized in your work, including the use of line and contour, texture, color, scale and other visual design elements, as suggested by your answers to the following questions.  1)  What is visually most distinctive/special about the work?

TERMS THAT MUST BE INCORPORATED: wind turbines, agricultural robots coral bleaching The Journey to Sustainability Imagine a future (probably a long time from now) in which human beings have achieved environmental sustainability on a global scale. That means that we as a species have figured out how to maintain a lifestyle that can go on indefinitely. Humans will exist in harmony with their environment, not needing more resources than can naturally be replenished. What would such a world be like? How might we get there from here? In this final assignment, you will play the part of science-fiction writer, imagining and describing what a sustainable Earth, inhabited by humans, might look like in the distant future. You will need to provide examples throughout to support your descriptions. You should include all the terms that you have researched during Weeks 1 through 4 of this class, underlining each term as you include it. Be sure to expand on your terms and include other concepts that you learned in the course. Provide as detailed a picture as possible of how that future world might function on a day-to-day basis. In your paper, use grammar and spell-checking programs to insure clarity. Proofread carefully prior to submitting your work. Finally, you will submit the document to Waypoint. Your paper will consist of seven paragraphs using the format below to address the elements with the assumption that environmental sustainability has been achieved: Paragraph 1: Describe how the human relationship to nature will be different from what it is at present. Examine how humans will cope differently with the ways that natural phenomena like hurricanes affect lives. Paragraph 2: Describe what Earth’s biodiversity and ecosystems will look like in a sustainable future. Explain what humans have done differently to enable biodiversity and ecosystems to function sustainably. Paragraph 3: Examine how agricultural production will be different in a sustainable future. Paragraph 4: Differentiate between how humans will manage water resources (fresh water and ocean) in the sustainable future compared to how it is done now. Paragraph 5 Examine how humans will meet their energy needs in the future in a way that will enable maintenance of a sustainable, habitable atmosphere and climate. Indicate the changes that humans have made that are enabling them to maintain a healthy atmosphere and climate for all. Paragraph 6: Describe how waste management will be different in a sustainable future. Indicate the changes have been made to how humans think about and treat what is currently called “waste.” Paragraph 7: Summarize some of the major social, economic, political, and ecological choices and tradeoffs that will need to be overcome for this sustainable future to arrive. What are some of the major issues and challenges humans will have to face in order to achieve sustainability on a global scale?
