Write a 2 to 3 page, APA style paper, explaining why you believe anyone running for President of the United States should or should not have served in the military at one time or the other. If you believe they should have a Military Service Record before running for President, would any military service, rank, type of discharge, and/or position be sufficient to be President? For instance, should only officers be allowed to run for President? What about enlisted members?

For instance, should only officers be allowed to run for President? What about enlisted members? Should only those people that held command positions be allowed to run for President? What about people with other than honorable discharges? In your paper include the opposing position along with your rebuttal (of that opposing position). For instance, if you believe people should serve in the military to be able to run for President (and why) then your rebuttal would be to those people who do not believe people should serve in the military before running to be President (and why).
Discuss how incentive pay plans both individual and group motivate employees to achieve high levels of performance. Identify potential weaknesses of these plans and suggest steps that can be taken to make these plans highly effective. Then, choose one industry that either an individual or group incentive pay plan would work best providing support for your reasoning (using personal examples to illustrate your point if possible).

What do you think of the argument for changing the name and focus of the holiday from Columbus to ?Indigenous Peoples Day?? Does changing the holiday dishonor the heritage of Italian-Americans, a group that has also faced discrimination? Or does changing the name serve to recognize and affirm the overlooked history and contributions of Native Americans? SEE UPLOADED FILE FOR MORE DETAILS.
This week we will see the techniques used to structure the data requirements for an information system application as the textbook and lecture notes emphasizes entity-relationship (E-R) diagramming, the most common notation used by practicing systems and data analysts. You will see how E-R diagramming is used along with process and logic modeling techniques to develop a thorough, unambiguous description of system requirements. In addition to the standard constructs of the E-R model (entities, attributes, and relationships), the data-oriented questions that should be raised during requirements determination will be discussed in our online discussions. In essence, the Conceptual Modeling process looks at how the data is structured and what the characteristics of the data are. What characteristics of data are represented in an E-R diagram?

When your diet plan meets the above objectives, screenshot your analysis or print it to a pdf. You must submit this in the assignment area. Also, I need you to write a report, so my coaches will know what changes you made to their athlete’s diet. Use Word to write your report. It should include the following: List of meal or snack time and foods to be eaten at that time. (Be sure to space out your food selections, so they meet the guidelines you learned in class.) Time when the athlete is working out What foods did you add to their diet? What foods did you remove from their diet? What did you do about their fluid intake?
Athletic Director: Wow! Our teams did terrific last week! I know much of their success can be attributed to your food recommendations! Thanks so much! Now we need to work on modifying their daily food intake, so they are ready every day to do their best at practice and competitions. What changes should they make to their diet? Remember, you analyzed their current diet for Assignment 1. This week, let’s improve that diet. I’ll let each coach explain what they need.
Coach Speedy: My runners are not consistently ready to meet the challenge of every practice and competition. I think they need to eat the right balance of the five foods groups daily, and those foods need to be spaced appropriately before, and after practice, so they come to practice and competitions ready to go. We practice at four in the afternoon for 1 1/2 hours. The conference championship is in two weeks.
Coach Power: We have our final competition in four weeks. I need to push my lifters without overdoing it. What changes do they need to make to their diet? We practice for 1 ½ hour every morning starting at 7 am.
Coach Combo: We play every week, and my team is getting beat up and worn down. Good news! We have made it to the conference playoff. The team is pumped up, but we will be playing a tough team. If we win this, we can go to a bowl game. We have two weeks to replenish our body and get ready for the big game. I’m going to pull out all the stops. What should we eat? We lift weights at 6 am and then practice on the field every afternoon at 3 pm for 2 hours.
Athletic Director: Okay, now you have heard from the coaches. Time to start making your recommendations. I know this will help each of the teams prepare for their final competitions. For this assignment, you will modify one of the team’s diets from Assignment 1. If your name last name starts with the A-H, then you will work with Coach Combo and make recommendations for his football team. If your last name begins with I-P, then you will evaluate a sample diet from Coach Speedy’s Cross Country team. Finally, if your last name starts with the letter Q through Z, you will assist Coach Power and his weight lifters.
You need to modify your team’s diet, so it meets the following recommendations. Use Cronometer to make the modifications. You can use the same profile you used for the first assignment, just add new days. Also, you will be adding and deleting foods to the diet. Each diet consists of three days and the average for the three days should meet the following recommendations.
Calorie intake is within 250 calories of the calorie level recommended by the diet analysis program. Be sure you selected the appropriate activity.
All nutrients are >100% (Please note this is >100% and not equal to 100%). Be sure not to exceed the upper limit for a nutrient.
The source of calories from carbohydrates is >55%, and the source of calories from fat is <25%.
For the team you are helping, enter the following profile information into the Cronometer diet analysis program.
Coach Speedy and her cross country team: Plan between 2500-3000 kcal/day for a female athlete, 20 yrs old, 5 feet 5 inches tall, 135 lbs, maintain current weight, the activity level is active
Coach Power and his weight lifting team: Plan between 3500-4000 kcal/day for a male athlete, 21 yrs old, 6 feet tall, 180 lbs, maintain current weight, the activity level is active
Coach Combo: Plan between 3500-4000 kcal/day for a male athlete, 19 yrs old, 6 feet tall, 200 lbs, maintain current weight, the activity level is active
In this class, you learned the time you eat relative to working out is just as important as the foods you eat. When should the athlete eat the foods you recommend? How many hours before and after practice? Are there certain types of foods they should eat? What about fluid intake? Be sure to space out your food selections, so they meet the guidelines you learned in class.
Remember, variety and moderation are the keys to a healthy, well-balanced diet so the same foods should not be eaten every day. Make sure your diet changes are different every day.
When your diet plan meets the above objectives, screenshot your analysis or print it to a pdf. You must submit this in the assignment area. Also, I need you to write a report, so my coaches will know what changes you made to their athlete’s diet. Use Word to write your report. It should include the following:

What is the inherent factor that causes employees in criminal justice organizations to implement such levels of personal loyalty at the expense of justice? What are the benefits and hazards of such a system of loyalty?

Based on the calculations of chi square or pearson correlation we need to figure out if these hypothesis are true or not
