identify a recently proposed health policy and share your analysis of the evidence in support of this policy.

DISCUSSION – 1. MAIN DISCUSSION POST Discussion: Evidence Base in DesignWhen politics and medical science intersect, there can be much debate. Sometimes anecdotes or hearsay are misused as evidence to support a particular point. Despite these and other challenges, however, evidence-based approaches are increasingly used to inform health policy decision-making regarding causes of disease, intervention strategies, and issues impacting society. One example is the introduction of childhood vaccinations and the use of evidence-based arguments surrounding their safety.In this Discussion, you will identify a recently proposed health policy and share your analysis of the evidence in support of this policy.

Discuss the transportation revolution that followed the opening of the Erie Canal and the ways in which it influenced the American economy

1.) Discuss the transportation revolution that followed the opening of the Erie Canal and the ways in which it influenced the American economy.2.) Examine what was considered “women’s work” in the first half of the nineteenth century. What professions, if any, were readily available to women, and how did some individuals help push these boundaries?3.)The Tariff of 1816 and the Panic of 1819 revealed deep sectional differences. Discuss those differences and what was done to bridge some of them. Were these efforts enough?4.) Much has been made of the “corrupt bargain” of the 1824 election. Explain the events in question and discuss the merits of such a deal.5.) Ultimately, the Jackson presidency was revolutionary. Discuss the major political changes brought about by Jackson’s administration.6.) Why did President Jackson veto the recharter of the Second Bank of the United States?7.) What was more important in creating the distinctiveness of the Old South, its economics or its culture?8.) in what ways were the differences and divisions between the antebellum South and northern society expanding by 1860? Why?9.) Why is having a high literacy rate, like the United States had during the first part of the nineteenth century, so significant to a country?10.) What was the relationship between the women’s rights movement and the abolitionist movement? How did the issue of women’s rights help split the abolitionist movement? 11.) Does Mexico deserve any of the blame for the Mexican-American War? Did the Mexican government feel it had any other choice but to pursue war?12.) In 1844, John C. Calhoun, as Secretary of State for President Tyler, wrote that adding Texas as a slave state was necessary to keep the South in the Union.  Does evidence suggest that he was right? 

analyze a current affairs article about a religion and discuss its economic impact.

 Goal: The goal of this assignment is for the student to analyze a current affairs article about a religion and discuss its economic impact.Learning Objectives: 2, 3, & 4Description:Throughout your studies in World Religions, you have been introduced to a variety of religious worldviews that are impacting a society and the marketplace in a variety of ways that can be both positive and negative for a community. The task for your Week #5 Project is to write a Current Affairs Worldview Essay that demonstrates the contemporary application as to how and in what ways a particular religion is impacting a society’s economy and marketplace today. You will want to research articles that clearly reference specific financial data including special financial studies and reports, profit/loss reports, Gross National Products (GNP), and financial percentages that are being generated for a particular locale as the result of a religion that we have or will study only in this class.An example of a possible title for such an article might be this: (“Study Finds Islamic Sholat Reducing Saudi Arabia GNP”). Here, the specific locale is Saudi Arabia – the religion impacted is Islam – the issue is that the time Muslims spend in daily prayer (Sholat) results in a financial loss of production for time away reducing Saudi Arabia’s GNP by 2% annually. Your article should highlight clear financial data as opposed to generalizations. (Ex: in the above article it points out that lost production in Saudi Arabia resulted in a 2% loss to the Gross National Product (GNP) or a loss of 3 trillion US dollars over last year.)The key to this assignment is to think outside of the box and use your critical thinking skills to practically apply the course materials on religion and transfer that thinking in such a way to consider how a religion might impact the economy? If you have trouble finding an article or resource, you can always “Contact a Librarian” from the APUS Trefry Library who will be able to assist you. Note that this is not a research essay where you seek out a variety of resources to highlight your topic. Here, you are to focus on just one (1) single article and offer your review of it in terms of a summary of the content and your personal application of it for your study of world religions. (See the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Book Review Handout for detailed information and examples.) There should only be one (1) resource listed in your Works Cited page.Your essay should include the following and should have a publication date of 5 years or less:Be sure to use good writing and mechanical techniques and include the use of academically approved Citation Formats with in-text citations and a resource page to identify your resource and avoid plagiarism.You will need to upload your Current Affairs Worldview Essay as an attachment in the correct file for presentation and final grading by your instructor. It will automatically be reviewed by Turnitin.com for plagiarism and an Originality Report will be generated. Please be sure to review the Grading Rubric in advance so that you will have a good idea of the expectations for this Essay. 

identify aspects of how jazz has changed from Early Jazz to Swing.

 1) From your readings from the Walser text, we have two writers having radically different responses to emerging jazz music (Chapter 4, Ernest Ansermet, and Chapter 9, Anne Shaw Faulker). In this discussion forum, discuss how either author engages with race (either explicitly or implicitly). 2) In This unit we studied the 1920s and 1930s, which encompass New Orleans/Early Jazz and the Swing era. With that in mind, identify aspects of how jazz has changed from Early Jazz to Swing. You can focus on some of the musical elements discussed in the readings and in the lectures that are characteristic of swing music or you can base your post on your personal/aesthetic response to the music (for example, do the different musical styles evoke different kinds of emotions, or different physical responses, etc.). Feel free to discuss any of the recordings assigned this week or used as musical examples in this week’s lectures, as well as recordings from outside the class.

explore and describe each of your two examples, its historical context, and the reasons it arose.

 In Assignment 2, we ask you to choose one of two topic choices listed below on the subject of economic change and innovation in the period of the late 1800s and early 1900s, then use the Writing Guide provided in Blackboard to write a paper on the subject. One topic is on the individual level of pioneering entrepreneurs of the period, who developed distinctive strategies for the production and marketing of very different parts types of products. The other topic is on the macro level, exploring successful and unsuccessful government attempts to shape and regulate the changing industrial economy of the period. As you prepare and brainstorm your paper, first read and review what our Schultz textbook covers on the subject. Then, consider the other sources listed with each topic below. It is important that you review these sources carefully because you must use a minimum of three sources (from the list below) to write your paper.TOPIC CHOICE ONE: Innovative Entrepreneurs—Walker and FordHere you will focus on the business approaches of Madame C. J. Walker and Henry Ford. Both developed innovative and successful approaches in a time of rapid economic change. You will compare them in the way they started their respective businesses and the key innovative features that made each successful. One might find virtues, problems and successes associated with both. You might see elements of each in strategies of later leaders and related issues even today.Sources: Schultz, p. 396–7 (only Ford is discussed in our textbook). For Madam C. J. Walker (1867–1919), see http://www.madamcjwalker.com/bios/madam-c-j-walker/; and https://www.pbs.org/wnet/african-americans-many-rivers-to-cross/history/100-amazing-facts/madam-walker-the-first-black-american-woman-to-be-a-self-made-millionaire/ . For Henry Ford, see https://www.history.com/topics/inventions/henry-ford.TOPIC CHOICE TWO: Government Economic Policies—Hits and MissesHere you will choose two historical examples from the following list: Prohibition; Hawley-Smoot Tariff; Sherman Antitrust Act; Pure Food and Drug Act; Federal Trade Commission; Civilian Conservation Corps; Agricultural Adjustment Act; the Wagner Act, and the Social Security Act. These are examples of government economic intervention or economic policy in the long period from 1870 to 1940. These might be thought of as burdensome government interference or as needed government regulation, depending on the example and one’s thinking on those things. For your paper, you will explore and describe each of your two examples, its historical context, and the reasons it arose. One might find virtues, problems and successes associated with both. You might see elements of each in examples in our current economy today.Sources: Schultz, p. 362–4, 367, 401–2, 417, 425–9, 432. Besides the textbook, use any two of these sources that you think relevant to your paper: http://college.cengage.com/history/wadsworth_9781133309888/unprotected/ps/impact_factory.htmhttp://college.cengage.com/history/wadsworth_9781133309888/unprotected/ps/attack_meatpackers.htm and https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/mod/1884hdlloyd.asp.Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:The paper must be submitted (uploaded and attached) in the course shell provided online.The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

Explain and defend the number of steps you identified and the order in which you placed those steps for best completion of the project.

Consider a project such as moving to a new neighborhood, completing a long-term school assignment, or even cleaning your bedroom.  Develop a set of activities necessary to accomplish that project, and then order them in a precedence manner to create sequential logic.  Explain and defend the number of steps you identified and the order in which you placed those steps for best completion of the project.In crashing a project, we routinely focus on those activities that lie on the critical path, not activities with slack time.  Explain why this is the case.Identify and discuss some of the problems or dangers in using project networks.  Under what circumstances can they be beneficial, and when can they be dangerous?

How is the company performing over recent years?

 Assume you are an analyst for an investment firm, and you have been asked to prepare a report on a particular company (selected from the Russell 3000 listing in Canvas). You will do so by:(a) calculating a series of ratios for a three-year period. In your ratio listing, show the detail (numerator and denominator) used for each of the ratios, and calculate three years of ratios so that the trends can be seen. (Note: You will need to go back four years to determine some balance sheet averages for the third year back.) Round the numbers in an appropriate and consistent manner and show percentages as percentages;(b) writing a 3-5 page narrative (length will be longer if the ratios are embedded in the narrative). Discuss the trends and positive/negative nature of the ratios. You can discuss each individually, but it might be useful to group ratios to some degree in the context of the three categories in order to identify significant trends. Bottom line: How is the company performing over recent years?The narrative portion of the paper should be double-spaced; Times New Roman/12 pt or Calibri/11 pt font. Present the ratios in a well-organized manner.Note: A recommended approach to obtaining the financial information is to access financial statements through the SEC website and downloading financial results into Excel (save the relevant tabs for the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows).Assessment:Grading will be based on the accuracy (17 points) and clarity (3 points) of the calculations and on the quality and thoughtfulness of the narrative (15 points) and writing (sentence structure, appropriate language; 5 points).RATIOSGeneral1)Horizontal Analysis (total assets and total liabilities & equity each = 100%; net sales = 100%)2)Vertical Analysis (percentage increases or decreases over prior year)Liquidity and Solvency measures3)Working Capital4)Current Ratio5)Accounts Receivable Turnover6)Days Sales in A/R7)Inventory Turnover8)Days Sales in Inventory9)Times Interest Earned10)Free Cash FlowProfitability measures11)Gross Profit Margin12)Return on Equity, broken down into Margin; Turnover; Leverage13)“EBITDA”14)Earnings per Share (EPS) of Common Stock15)Price-Earnings Ratio16)Dividends per Share17)Dividend Yieldnotesall the information and data in the atoner file from finial statement of Ford company of year 2017 (you may not need all the report, all the focuses on the finical statment and supportive information.attached some equation for solving the measures
