Title: Ergogenic Aid
This forum discussion will be on ergogenic aids. As an introduction, go to the following website and read the story:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/health/ct-nw-supplem…
Now go to this website and learn about ergogenic aids:
http://www.aafp.org/afp/20010301/913.html.
From the list below, select one ergogenic aid.
List of Ergogenic Aid
Select one of these:
Antioxidants
Branched-chain amino acids
Creatine
Fat supplements
Folic acid
Glutamine
Zinc
Find one published peer-reviewed research article on the ergogenic aid you picked.
Do not use Muscle Magazine or a similar magazine because these are for the general public and are not peer-reviewed.
The journal article you select should be a research study that shows how your chosen ergogenic aid affects athletic performance, positively or negatively.
Remember, a research article is not a review article.
A research article reports the results of a research study. You can tell the difference between a research article and a review article because a review article summarizes several research studies.
- list your selected ergogenic aid,
- provide the reference for your selected article,
- describe how your particular ergogenic aid purportedly enhances performance,
- describe the study and the results, and
- evaluate the article. For example, does the study make appropriate conclusions from its data? Was the study designed correctly to address the hypothesis?
using a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ board along with the Grove Pi IoT starter kit so you can order this board or any other compatible RPi boardadd an LED light to the system that will be used to indicate when certain sounds or events have occurred.
I dont know how to handle this Computer Science question and need guidance.
You will begin the first part of your prototype embedded system by adding a sound sensor that can be used to listen for certain events or sounds. For this milestone, you will add an LED light of your choosing that will be used to indicate when certain sounds or events have occurred. This is very useful in this type of system, because systems do not need to be constantly checked if they convey some type of visual indication of their current state. Your phone operates in the same way: You can easily look down at your phone and see some type of indicator light (or hear a sound) that alerts you to an incoming email, call, or message. You do not have to physically open your phone every time you want to check thingsthe system conveys information through a visual indicator, and the system you are designing for your final project will do the same thing. Review the CS 350 Milestone One video before completing your milestone assignment.

Review the CS 350 Milestone One video before completing your milestone assignment. Prompt: For this milestone, complete the following steps: 1. Attach the sound sensor and LED of your choosing from your GrovePi+ kit. 2. Run the code provided. This is an important first step because you can familiarize yourself with the code and how it works before you start modifying it. a. This Grove file on GitHub contains the code and sensor connection instructions necessary to complete the milestone. b. Note: The sample code uses a grovepi package. Follow these GrovePi+ setup instructions to set the grovepi modules in the path. 3. Modify your hardware and code in the following ways: a. Change the pin location of the LED light. (Hint: Hardware and code actions are required.) This GrovePi+ diagram will be helpful. Feel free to play around until it works! b. Change the threshold value for the sound sensor. (Hint: Code action is required.) c. Be sure to comment the code where you are changing it. 4. Run your code again! 5. Save your modified code file and make a short video showing the LED light turning on and off with sound triggers. Think about playing music, snapping, or clapping to trigger the sound sensor. Or be as creative as you like! 6. Create a ZIP for your code file and video file, and submit your assignment. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Modified Code: Modify code to change LED pin location and sound sensor threshold value. II. Code Comments: Comment your code to explain what you changed and why. III. Visual Confirmation: Include a short video of the working prototype. These critical elements will help you prepare for your final project: This milestone will build your skills in prototyping, connecting sensors, and modifying code, but it does not represent a draft of any critical elements in your final project. (Note: After completing Milestone One, proceed to Milestone Two. You do not have to wait for your feedback from Milestone One before moving forward.) Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Submit your assignment as a ZIP folder containing your modified PY file and your short recorded video.

Final Project Part A, select one of the cases from the list below
Ch. 4 Linear Programming Applications in Marketing, Finance, and Operations Management: Case#1
Case Problem 1
Planning an Advertising Campaign
The Flamingo Grill is an upscale restaurant located in St. Petersburg, Florida. To help plan an advertising campaign for the coming season, Flamingos management team hired the advertising firm of Haskell & Johnson (HJ). The management team requested HJs recommendation concerning how the advertising budget should be distributed across television, radio, and online advertisements. The budget has been set at $279,000.
In a meeting with Flamingos management team, HJ consultants provided the following information about the industry exposure effectiveness rating per ad, their estimate of the number of potential new customers reached per ad, and the cost for each ad:
Advertising Media | Exposure Rating per Ad | New Customers per Ad | Cost per Ad
Television | 90 | 4,000 | $10,000
Radio | 25 | 2,000 | $ 3,000
Online | 10 | 1,000 | $ 1,000
The exposure rating is viewed as a measure of the value of the ad to both existing customers and potential new customers. It is a function of such things as image, message recall, visual and audio appeal, and so on. As expected, the more expensive television advertisement has the highest exposure effectiveness rating along with the greatest potential for reaching new customers.
At this point, the HJ consultants pointed out that the data concerning exposure and reach were only applicable to the first few ads in each medium. For television, HJ stated that the exposure rating of 90 and the 4000 new customers reached per ad were reliable for the first 10 television ads. After 10 ads, the benefit is expected to decline. For planning purposes, HJ recommended reducing the exposure rating to 55 and the estimate of the potential new customers reached to 1500 for any television ads beyond 10. For radio ads, the preceding data are reliable up to a maximum of 15 ads. Beyond 15 ads, the exposure rating declines to 20 and the number of new customers reached declines to 1200 per ad. Similarly, for online ads, the preceding data are reliable up to a maximum of 20; the exposure rating declines to 5 and the potential number of new customers reached declines to 800 for additional ads.
Flamingos management team accepted maximizing the total exposure rating, across all media, as the objective of the advertising campaign. Because of managements concern with attracting new customers, management stated that the advertising campaign must reach at least 100,000 new customers. To balance the advertising campaign and make use of all advertising media, Flamingos management team also adopted the following guidelines:
Use at least twice as many radio advertisements as television advertisements.
Use no more than 20 television advertisements.
The television budget should be at least $140,000.
The radio advertising budget is restricted to a maximum of $99,000.
The online budget is to be at least $30,000.
HJ agreed to work with these guidelines and provide a recommendation as to how the $279,000 advertising budget should be allocated among television, radio, and online advertising.
Managerial Report
Develop a model that can be used to determine the advertising budget allocation for the Flamingo Grill. Include a discussion of the following in your report:
A schedule showing the recommended number of television, radio, and online advertisements and the budget allocation for each medium. Show the total exposure and indicate the total number of potential new customers reached.
How would the total exposure change if an additional $10,000 were added to the advertising budget?
A discussion of the ranges for the objective function coefficients. What do the ranges indicate about how sensitive the recommended solution is to HJs exposure rating coefficients?
After reviewing HJs recommendation, the Flamingos management team asked how the recommendation would change if the objective of the advertising campaign was to maximize the number of potential new customers reached. Develop the media schedule under this objective.
Compare the recommendations from parts 1 and 4. What is your recommendation for the Flamingo Grills advertising campaign?
Final Project Part B, select one of the cases from the list below
Ch.10 Inventory Models: Case#1
Case Problem 1
Wagner Fabricating Company
Managers at Wagner Fabricating Company are reviewing the economic feasibility of manufacturing a part that the company currently purchases from a supplier. Forecasted annual demand for the part is 3200 units. Wagner operates 250 days per year.
Wagners financial analysts established a cost of capital of 14% for the use of funds for investments within the company. In addition, over the past year $600,000 was the average investment in the companys inventory. Accounting information shows that a total of $24,000 was spent on taxes and insurance related to the companys inventory. In addition, an estimated $9000 was lost due to inventory shrinkage, which included damaged goods as well as pilferage. A remaining $15,000 was spent on warehouse overhead, including utility expenses for heating and lighting.
An analysis of the purchasing operation shows that approximately two hours are required to process and coordinate an order for the part regardless of the quantity ordered. Purchasing salaries average $28 per hour, including employee benefits. In addition, a detailed analysis of 125 orders showed that $2375 was spent on telephone, paper, and postage directly related to the ordering process.
A one-week lead time is required to obtain the part from the supplier. An analysis of demand during the lead time shows it is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 64 units and a standard deviation of 10 units. Service-level guidelines indicate that one stock-out per year is acceptable.
Currently, the company has a contract to purchase the part from a supplier at a cost of $18 per unit. However, over the past few months, the companys production capacity has been expanded. As a result, excess capacity is now available in certain production departments, and the company is considering the alternative of producing the parts itself.
Forecasted utilization of equipment shows that production capacity will be available for the part being considered. The production capacity is available at the rate of 1000 units per month, with up to five months of production time available. Management believes that with a two-week lead time, schedules can be arranged so that the part can be produced whenever needed. The demand during the two-week lead time is approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 128 units and a standard deviation of 20 units. Production costs are expected to be $17 per part.
A concern of management is that setup costs will be substantial. The total cost of labor and lost production time is estimated to be $50 per hour, and a full eight-hour shift will be needed to set up the equipment for producing the part.
Managerial Report
Develop a report for management of Wagner Fabricating that will address the question of whether the company should continue to purchase the part from the supplier or begin to produce the part itself. Include the following factors in your report:
An analysis of the holding costs, including the appropriate annual holding cost rate
An analysis of ordering costs, including the appropriate cost per order from the supplier
An analysis of setup costs for the production operation
A development of the inventory policy for the following two alternatives:
Ordering a fixed quantity Q from the supplier
Ordering a fixed quantity Q from in-plant production
Include the following in the policies of parts 4(a) and 4(b):
Optimal quantity Q*
Number of order or production runs per year
Cycle time
Reorder point
Amount of safety stock
Expected maximum inventory
Average inventory
Annual holding cost
Annual ordering cost
Annual cost of the units purchased or manufactured
Total annual cost of the purchase policy and the total annual cost of the production policy
Make a recommendation as to whether the company should purchase or manufacture the part. What savings are associated with your recommendation as compared with the other alternative?

9-1 Discussion: Unified Theory
I dont know how to handle this Psychology question and need guidance.
Think about all the theories you have studied in the course. What is your opinion on whether a unified theory of personality is possible? Do you think such a theory would improve the field? Do you have any research that supports your argument?
In your responses to at least two other students, briefly state your position and discuss similarities and differences in your responses. Does the peers response reinforce your position? Does the peers response have you consider a different position?
To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric document.
AFTER COMPLETING THE INITIAL POST, PLEASE ALSO RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING TWO STUDENTS REGARDING THE SAME TOPIC!
STUDENT ONE:
I think that a unified theory of personality can be possible and beneficial in so many ways. A one-size-fit-all theory wont work for everyone but it can definitely be helpful for some. If we dont try a unified theory how will we ever know if they are beneficial or not?
Dweck (2017) aims to integrate motivation, personality and much of development under one umbrella to help psychologists address big social problems in a more informed, systematic and integrated way. She feels that providing a new prospective on development, especially on the forces that propel development and the roles of nature and nurture (Dweck, 2017). Her proposed theory seeks to integrate modern approaches to basic human needs, human motivation, personality and social-personality development. She believes it will help us deepen our understanding of human functioning. Motivation, personality and development belong together (Dweck, 2017). After all, motivation is about why people, think, feel and act the way they do a given time; personality is about how and why people differ from each other in their characteristic modes of thinking, feeling, and acting; development is about how these different ways of thinking, feeling and development are all integrated in many classic theories (Dweck, 2017, p 690). So a unified theory of personality can be possible as well as beneficial.

STUDENT TWO:
I do think that a unified theory of personality is possible, but I cannot say whether it would be wholly useful to the field. It is likely that it would eliminate at least one aspect of personality. If that is the case, is it really a unified theory?
I mentioned Whole Trait Theory in another of my posts and in my paper, but it is a relatively new theory (2015) that works to combine the social-cognitive approach to personality with the trait approach, considering them to be two sides of the same coin. It suggests that traits have two parts: an explanatory part (which allows for social-cognitive explanations of traits) and a descriptive part (which is basically a density distribution of states, so we can see an average of a trait in different aspects of life) (Fleeson & Jayawickreme, 2015). Whole Trait Theory allows for variation in behavior, because people act differently in different situations – a realization that Walter Mischel and Yuichi Shoda came to when they developed their CAPS theory (Mischel & Shoda, 1995).
While searching for the Whole Trait Theory article that I’ve been using (I’m writing this from my desktop at work, as I don’t have my personal laptop with me), I came across a new (2019) article which attempts to integrate Whole Trait Theory and Deci and Ryan’s Self-Determination Theory. The article discusses theoretical links between the two and provides some empirical evidence supporting their idea. Being so new, additional research will be needed before a new theory is formally proposed. The authors argue that this will improve the field by combining trait explanations and motivational explanations for behavior and personality (Prentice, Jayawickreme, & Fleeson). As I discussed above, a wholly unified theory is likely to skip over some aspect of personality that is explained in another theory. Sometimes, the most obvious choice is the correct answer. I do think that other avenues should be explored though; we may come across a better idea that fits even better than what we use today!

The proposal may also involve advocacy for the amelioration of a social problem. The purpose of this assignment is to thoughtfully and thoroughly plan how you will advocate changing a social problem or policy that is of interest to you.
The policy practice/advocacy can take whatever form you wish and can be on any level: agency, community, state, or federal. You will submit a prospectus (34 pages) that describes the problem that is being addressed and the expected advocacy activities. You are expected to carry out the activities planned in this proposal and will present on your actions and outcomes in the Week 10 Final Project assignment.
- Provide a brief synopsis of your social problem and identification of a policy that you submitted in Week 3.
- Describe the social problem or policy you would like to change, and the specific action you plan take to effect change.
Be specific when describing the social problem or policy you would like to change and address the following:
- If you selected a policy, when was the policy enacted, by whom, and for what reason?
- How are you going to work to change the policy/problem (i.e., plan for social advocacy)?
- How will your efforts address the policy/social problem described?
- Is continued policy practice/advocacy needed to make a long-term impact? Why or why not?
