This week we will be focusing on circuit training. Circuit training is a workout method that involves rotating through several different exercises for a certain amount of time or number of repetitions, with little to no rest. You go from one exercise station to another, targeting various muscle groups.
Here are some key points about circuit training:
1) In circuit training, you move through a sequence of up to 10 exercises, each focusing on different muscle groups. You complete a set of exercises for a specific number of repetitions or a set amount of time. Then, without much rest, you swiftly transition to the next exercise station.
2) Time-Efficient: An entire circuit session can usually be completed in just 30–45 minutes. So, if you’re short on time but want an effective workout, circuit training is a great choice.
3) Increased Strength: Circuit training targets both upper and lower body muscles, helping boost overall strength.
4) Weight Loss: By combining strength and cardiovascular exercises, circuit training aids in improving body composition—building muscle and shedding fat.

Activity 41: Cultural Values & Communication (Part 1)
/0 Comments/in Humanities /by bonniejecintaQuestion
Introduction
This discussion asks you to analyze the impact of cultural differences on business conversations and devise ways to improve understanding through cultural awareness of differences. It builds on the weekly learning goal of developing a culturally intelligent strategy for communicating with people from different cultures.
From the first moment, we begin talking with another person, we are opening the channels of communication to form an interpersonal relationship. “Relationship” is broadly defined as two people interacting in an interpersonal, one-on-one communication setting. However, cultural differences in communication styles affect perceptions and hinder understanding in relationships.
Post Instructions
For this forum read the Cultural Conflicts section of the Script for Cultural Awareness published by Big World Media (pages 2-3). The section features a conversation between a U.S American on assignment in a Middle Eastern country and another employee of Middle Eastern origin. After reading the script, you will explore the importance of understanding other people’s values and see how different styles of communication based on cultural value dimensions can hinder understanding.
While people often share common values, they sometimes prioritize them differently. Brian and Ahmed both stress productivity; however, it’s comparatively more important for Brian based on his culture’s value dimension stressing competition. This is true for communication styles as well. Being direct is more efficient, but it can be disrespectful. Indirect communication is more diplomatic but can frustrate and mislead.
In low power distance cultures, such as the United States, the emphasis is on direct communication. High power distance cultures, which are more hierarchical, do not want to appear to challenge authority and are more indirect in their communication styles. It’s easy to spot differences in appearance, but our values and priorities are often hidden within. You need to cultivate awareness and sensitivity to understand our world’s diverse cultures, such as the Middle East in this business scenario. This is where an understanding of cultural value dimensions and differences becomes important, such as time orientation, low vs. high context, direct vs. indirect communication, individual vs. collective cultures, competitive vs. cooperative cultures and others discussed in the readings this week.
For your post to this activity forum, take the role of one of Brian’s friends or one of Ahmed’s friends.
Writing as Brian’s Friend
Brian tells you about his conversation with Ahmed; he asks for your opinion and advice. You gently cue Brian into the mistakes that he made and give him some suggestions for better preparing himself next time.
Writing as Ahmed’s Friend
Ahmed approaches you about the conversation; he feels like he failed to explain his culture to Brian. What should he have told Brian about his values and beliefs? You also give him some advice on how he could have communicated with Brian without offending him.
Regardless of your perspective, include terms and concepts from all of the week’s readings to support your ideas. After addressing the prompt, write a few sentences specifying examples from the readings that helped you to better understand the cultural value differences that Ahmed and Brian are facing.
seven doctrines of salvation
/0 Comments/in Other /by bonniejecintaQuestion
Homework.
(Bilateral Covenants: Involving two parties.) (Unilateral Covenants: Occurring on or affecting one side only.) The seven doctrines of salvation are forgiveness, justification, reconciliation, redemption, sanctification, newness of life, and adoption. The seven elements or doctrines of salvation are divine works; they designate the divine side of salvation. There are eight covenants between God and humanity or man. As we discussed in our earlier studies, covenants are the same as contracts. Meaning they can’t be broken or nullified. No matter how man breaks his end of the covenant, God finds another way to save or salvage out of the ruins and offer salvation. I would like for you to use the seven doctrines of salvation to describe God’s willingness to save humanity. For example, take a look at biblical scripture concerning each covenant and give a brief summation by using one of the seven doctrines. [Promise] [Penalty 1). EDENIC: covenant means rule: this is a bilateral covenant (Genesis 2:15-17) Eternal Rulership. [physical [death 2). ADAMIC: covenant means redemption: is a unilateral covenant (Genesis 3:14-21) victory over Satan and death. [Penalty [None 3). NOAHIC: covenant means restraint. is a unilateral covenant (Genesis 6:7 8:21) not to destroy with flood. [Penalty [None 4). ABRAHAMIC: covenant means restore. is a unilateral covenant (Genesis 12:1-3 15:9 10:17) land, lineage, blessing. [Penalty [None 5). MOSAIC: covenant means revealed. “Israel” is a bilateral covenant (Exodus 19:5, 8) become God’s people [Penalty [Removal of [God’s blessing 6). PALESTINIAN: covenant means return. “Israel.” Is a unilateral covenant (Deuteronomy 30:1-10) return & dwell in land. [Penalty [None 7). DAVIDIC: covenant means reign. Is a unilateral covenant (2 Samuel 7:16) Descendent of David on the throne. [Penalty [None 8). NEW: covenant means regenerate. “Israel & grafted church” is a unilateral covenant (Jeremiah 31:31,34) indwelling Spirit. [Penalty None] 1 John 5:16-17 KJV If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. [17] All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. (The book of Galatians explained) God has already chosen his clergy and positioned them with authority and power. These covenants will be established and completed. Matthew 22:14 KJV For many are called, but few are chosen. We are all facing challenges that may lead us to choose not to try our best or to give up but we are invited by God to live by Jesus’ example and by persevering, helping others and trying hard we can be chosen; just like Abraham and Moses who we have been learning about. To be chosen, a person must accept his or her calling, be grateful for it, and move forward in serving God and His Son. However, being called is not enough to be a Saint. We must respond to that calling (invitation). Positive action is required!

Initial post:
In preparation for the initial post, consider two (2)?of the leading causes of the American Revolution:
The Proclamation Act of 1763
The Navigation Acts
The Stamp Act
The Declaratory Act
Reply:
For this week’s discussion, I chose to analyze the cause and effect of the Stamp Act and the Boston Massacre.
The Stamp Act of 1765 was a direct tax imposed by the British Parliament on the American colonies, requiring them to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper they used. The act was met with widespread opposition among the colonists, who argued that they should not be taxed without representation in Parliament. This led to protests, boycotts, and acts of civil disobedience across the colonies. The Stamp Act Congress was convened,uniting colonial leaders in opposing British taxation policies and laying the groundwork for future cooperation and resistance.
On the other hand, the Boston Massacre served as a rallying cry for the. Colonists further fueled anti-British sentiment, but it did not have the same organizational impact as the Stamp Act. While it contributed to the growing tensions between the colonies and Britain, the Boston Massacre was more of a catalyst for further resistance rather than a unifying force for colonial opposition. Therefore, while both events played important roles in the lead-up to the American Revolution, the Stamp Act is considered more significant due to its broader implications and its role in galvanizing colonial resistance against British taxation and control.
Project One Planning Document First Draft
/0 Comments/in Humanities /by bonniejecintaQuestion
Overview
You have identified an issue in the natural sciences and developed an initial research question. In Modules Three and Four, you will practice evaluating scientific sources and then identify and describe sources related to your topic. As you investigate your topic through these sources, you will revisit your research question and make adjustments.
Prompt
In this first draft, you will identify appropriate resources related to your issue and begin to analyze them and compile your reference list. You will complete the first two critical elements (introduction and body) of Project Part One, and you will complete a draft of the conclusion in Modules Five and Six. You will also begin building critical element IV, the reference list, in this draft.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Introduction: In this section, you will discuss your natural science issue and select resources that you can use to research the issue. This will lead you to the development of a research question related to your issue. Specifically, you should:
Describe the issue in the natural sciences that you have selected to investigate. Why is this issue significant? (You identified this issue in Module One, but how would you revise this piece now that you have received instructor feedback and investigated your sources?)
Describe at least three science resources that you could use to investigate the issue you selected. Your sources must be relevant to your issue and must be of an academic nature appropriate for the issue. In your Question, consider questions such as: What are the similarities and differences in the content of your sources? What makes them appropriate and relevant for investigating your issue? What was your thought process when you were searching for sources? How did you make choices?
Based on your review of science resources, develop a specific question related to the issue you selected. In other words, what would you like to know more about?
Identify an audience that would be interested in your issue and the question you developed. For example, who would benefit most from hearing your message, or who could best help in addressing the issue?
Describe how and why you can tailor your message to your audience, providing specific examples. For example, will your audience understand scientific terminology and principles, or will you need to explain them? How will you communicate effectively with your audience?
Identify the natural science principle(s) that apply to your question and issue. For example, if your issue is global climate change, the principle you might identify is that the sun is the primary source of energy for Earth’s climate system.

Final Project Proposal
/0 Comments/in Humanities /by bonniejecintaQuestion
Final Project Proposal
Who:
This is an individual effort assignment from each student in the course.
What:
The Final Project Proposal is a written submission in which students identify and discuss the issue(s) surrounding their chosen themes/topics and propose a program, initiative, or activity that will address those issues. For example, a student from a previous semester chose the theme of Climate Change and Natural Disasters for his project package. For the Final Project Product Proposal, he discussed how climate change affects agriculture in South and Central America. Within the proposal, he identified the issue and causes, prior attempts and deficiencies in addressing the issue, and proposed the solution of enhancing global awareness through art (making information pertaining to climate change more appealing and interesting for a targeted audience).
Sample Final Project
Final Project Proposal Template
Actions
Students are required to submit drafts of the Final Project Product Proposal for feedback before submitting the final draft of the proposal.
Part 1:
The problem to be addressed
Possible causes and maintaining forces
Background and Justification
Newly proposed deliverable
Evaluation
Here are the recommended completion steps:
View the provided example and the sample template.
The student should select a global healthcare-related topic that truly interests them; they should not feel confined in this process. However, check with the instructor to confirm this topic is “OK.”
Identify a problem within that topic area, and then, write that problem as a research question. <<<<< Take time with this step. Historically, this is what students have struggled with the most. Here is a very brief example:
Topic = WNBA Basketball
Research question/subtopic = Based on past research, what are the major hurdles that are delaying the expansion of the WNBA?
Example themes/topics/global health problems may include (but are not limited to):
Food/Water Insecurity, Hunger, & Poverty
Medical Tourism
Health & Wellbeing for Nations at War/Unrest
Attention Research Proposal for a product with two ads
/0 Comments/in Business & Finance /by bonniejecintaQuestion
Instructions:
Choose a product or other “offering” (e.g., Diet Coke) and find two ads for it from 2018-2024. The offering can be anything, like a good, service, event, or activity. Both ads need to come from the same type of medium (e.g., magazine, commercial, podcast, etc.), but can be from different specific sources within that medium. For example, if the medium you choose is podcasts, then the Diet Coke ads you select could be from Planet Money and Radiolab podcasts.
Begin by briefly (in a sentence or two) describing each ad. What offering do the ads promote? In what main ways do the ads differ? Please attach the ads to the assignment (photo, screenshot, or link to the source).
For each research method, discuss how you would implement these research methods. In other words, describe exactly what would happen. Who would your participants be? What would you ask them to do, or what kind of data would you seek out? You can assume that you have no cost or time constraints in implementing your methods.

Week 6 – Outline for week Final Research Paper
Instructions
This week (week 6) you will be completing your outline for your research paper which is due by the end of Week 7. This weeks assignment is a one-page outline for your week 7 paper. You will use proper outline formatting and address key points for your paper. Remember – this week is just an outline! You will gather your thoughts and begin to lay the foundation for your paper. (An example is attached).
Use outline formatting, such as:
I. Introduction
A. Main Point
B. Secondary Point
II. Body – Paragraph 1
A. Main Point
B. Secondary Point …
There are three parts to this requirement.
1. You will complete an outline for your paper that will serve as your basis for writing your research paper. Be as detailed as possible, using an outline format. Be sure to include references.
2. You will post your outline in the Week 6 discussion area. Classmates will have the opportunity to review and recommend changes or additions to your outline.
3. By Sunday, you will consider those suggestions and revise your outline, then submit it to the assignment link.
Instructions: In this course, we look at a verity of different interview techniques and styles. We also look at the different kinds of perspectives on ethical issues and how they fit into properly conducting interviews.
For this paper, you will pick a course related topic to discuss, but one that is not a specific topic addressed in our text. Be creative! I do not want you to reiterate the text, but choose a topic in the text and expand on it. Don’t provide the same examples the text uses. Some examples are given below, but it is recommended that you choose to write on a topic you have already encountered or you have thought about previously. Of necessity, the instructions for this assignment are somewhat vague. Each student will have to explore different resources and will need to develop an individual approach to the subject. The goal is a brief but detailed exploration of some narrowly defined aspect of Interviewing Practices.
Identify, specifically, the strengths of your topic and what some weaknesses are. Drawing on various sources, explain the details of your topic. Assume I know nothing about this topic and share your research on it with me. Why is it important? What have you learned? What are the Pro’s and Con’s? When would this be used? What is the history on this topic?
Research papers are generally divided into two main categories: informative or argumentative. Informative papers generally demonstrate your understanding of a subject, simply reflecting what information is out there. Or you can choose to write an argumentative paper. You could information, offering commentary and opinions though taking no clear position, or you may offer a solution to a problem or argue that a law is having an unwanted effect.
The more specific you can be the better, and feel free to include examples that will strengthen your account.
