Aerobics is a type of physical exercise that involves rhythmic movements with stretching and strength-training routines aimed at improving all the aspects of fitness that include flexibility, muscular strength, and cardiovascular fitness. It is mainly carried out in a group setting, at the directions of an instructor, with background music. Nevertheless, individual performance with or without the accompaniment of music is often undertaken. Ideally, aerobics exercises performance is for at least 30 minutes a day, 20 minutes of which are used to make a performance at a taxing degree of intensity. Participants in the exercise perform various routines comprising of diverse dance-like exercises. Official classes of aerobics are designated into different levels depending on the fitness level of the participants. These exercises are energetic, vigorous, regular, and last long enough to offer essential health benefits to the body (“What is aerobic?” para 1). The benefits of aerobic exercise are best realized by increasing the heart rate and practicing hard breathing for a prolonged period. For the period of the exercise, the body gives out more energy and transports more oxygen to the muscles. The heartbeat increases and fastens the flow of blood to the muscles and back to the lungs. This builds up the heart, improves its strength to pump blood more proficiently, and increases the rate of circulation of blood throughout the body. Aerobic fitness is a vital asset in emergency crises such as earthquakes, floods, loss in the wilderness, and other bizarre situations. The capability of one to move out safely or to endure such conditions depends on one’s ability to walk, run, swim, climb, and carry out other activities (“Aerobic Fitness Information”). Aerobic fitness is associated with the health of individuals. In the United States alone, more than 800,000 citizens die every year from heart-related complications (“Aerobic Fitness Information” para.1). These heart diseases are the number one cause of death in the United States. The risk factors for these complications include inactivity, high levels of cholesterol, excessive smoking, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Study after study has proved that inactivity is the predominant factor responsible for heart diseases. It is two times as crucial as high levels of cholesterol and four times more crucial than high blood pressure. Therefore, aerobic exercise lowers the risk of death due to heart attack and it is a proven method of rehabilitating individuals suffering from a heart attack. Aerobic exercises play a role in conditioning the cardiovascular system that is composed of heat and the lungs. They increase the level of oxygen present in the body and enable the heart to utilize oxygen more efficiently. It improves aerobic endurance, muscular endurance, and an individual’s exercise capacity. These cardiovascular activities when done routinely assist in diminishing the onset of heart diseases (“Stop aging-Start Training” para.2). It has been demonstrated through studies that cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure levels can all be significantly lowe
Introduction The primary cause of the multifaceted problems facing the world today is overpopulation. These problems include; climate changes, pollution, poverty and food scarcity among others (Collodi and M’Cormack 1). The world population is projected to increase drastically by the year 2050 with continents such as Asia and Africa being the most overpopulated. In comparison to the population in 2000 (6.1 billion), the population in 2050 is predicted to rise by 47 percent (United Nations 4). The high population will strain the already inadequate resources. Therefore, there is a likelihood that there will be rigorous exploitation of the available resources. The high population present in the world today has also had negative impact on employment and educational opportunities (Valentine 121). These effects are likely to be more aggravated in the poor countries. Moreover, access to safe and clean drinking water will also be a challenge due to the high population growth. The aim of this research is to describe the effects of overpopulation on land, air, and food supply. Impact of overpopulation on land In the past years, agricultural practices have demonstrated remarkable ability to keep up with the changes in the population. This has been through the expansion of agricultural land and increase in labor. However, there is uncertainty in the future of the lands used for agriculture if the world becomes overpopulated. There is the likelihood that the productive capability of agricultural lands may be exhausted in the future (Donohoe 577-578). The birth rates in developing nations have been projected to be on the rise and more people continue to build houses on land meant for agricultural practices. This threatens the future food security situation as there may not be enough food to sustain the increase in population. It has also led to a decrease in crop diversity and the susceptibility of these crops to diseases. Another impact of overpopulation on land is water scarcity. The United Nations projects a tripled consumption of water since the 1950’s due to the high population. As a result, more than one billion individuals lack safe water for drinking (United Nations 4). Poor countries are also characterized by lack of adequate resources to enhance the provision of water. In the event that the population in these settings continues to increase, many people will be predisposed to water-borne illnesses (Negative Population Growth 1). Overpopulation results in deforestation for the purposes of house construction and agriculture (Donohoe 577). This subjects the land to erosion and leads to climate changes. In addition, the changes in climate are likely to affect the yield from these lands and hence re
Discussion An Electronic Patient Record (EPR) is a collection of health information of one patient stored in a computer. EPRs provide all information about a patient, independent of where, when, and by whom the information was captured. An important aim of developed health systems is the creation, expansion and linkage of EPR systems. The electronic storage and transfer of patient information can significantly minimize clinical errors and enhance patient safety as well as allow clinicians to communicate swiftly, accurately and to identify more relevant information more easily. This paper examines the Romanow Commission’s recommendation on the implementation of EPR systems in Canadian health care systems. It also analyzes how the federal government of Canada engaged the province of Ontario in reaction to the report in a series of agreements such as; the Health Accord (2003), and the First Ministers Accord (2004) on the establishment of EPR in the health care system to safeguard the health of Ontarians. Evaluation of Romanow Report on Electronic Patient Records The implementation of the Romanow Report has enabled Canada to safeguard its publicly funded health care system. The commission came up with a report that contained forty-seven recommendations. Key among these recommendations were: first, the establishment of Electronic Health Records for all Canadians. According to Romanow, this was “one of the keys to modernizing Canada’s health care system and improving access and outcomes to all Canadians” (Grieshaber-Otto); second, it endorsed the activities of Canada Health Infoway, which is described as “an independent, non-profit corporation with responsibility for accelerating the development and adoption of modern EPRs to offer better health care” (Romanow, 2002). In Ottawa, Canada Health Infoway has facilitated partnerships in the public sector that has fostered and accelerated the development of secure, Electronic health records. Analysis of Romano’s Report Concerning Electronic Health Records Romanow had identified the need for more accountability on the huge amounts of funds utilized on health care in Canada in his final report.

Introduction Human psychology remains the main object of professional and public interest. Hundreds of books shed light on the most controversial aspects of human psychology. Saundra Ciccarelli and J. White White’s Psychology is no exception: the authors create a sophisticated but coherent picture of psychology and its implications for human development and growth. It goes without saying that all chapters and concepts in the book are closely related. The first chapters set the stage for understanding the meaning of more complex scientific categories. Ciccarelli and White’s textbook presents a sophisticated but easy-to-understand picture of human psychology, which explains complex body-mind relationships and creates the basis for controlling and influencing behavioral and mental processes in humans. Ciccarelli and White begin their discussion with a brief definition and description of psychology. The fact that “psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes” (Ciccarelli & White 4) sets the stage for understanding the meaning and significance of other concepts, including the relationship between biology and psychology in Chapter 2 and its implications for human development, in Chapter 8. It should be noted, that the authors place emphasis on the biological aspects and elements of psychological functioning in humans. Thus, it comes as no surprise that Ciccarelli and White’s definition presents psychology as a predominantly biological concept. Chapter 2 describes the biological perspective of human psychology in detail. According to Ciccarelli and White, a complex system of cells, chemicals, and organs is primarily responsible for the development of behaviors, actions, and thoughts (48). The nervous system is just the first part of this complex nervous arrangement (Ciccarelli & White 48). The most interesting is the description of mirror neurons, which play an important role in social interaction and brain activity (Ciccarelli & White 82). I often catch myself imitating an action being performed by another person, for example, being a driver while sitting in a passenger’s seat. Psychology is a scientific study of mental processes and behaviors, and this knowledge of neural processes helps to explain human behaviors, predict and influence them. It also helps to understand the meani
The concept of shared value is oriented chiefly at strategic planning in the corporate domain. Its three-level structure operates the concepts of value chains, markets, products, and customers, which suggests a direct application to the business sector. Thus, it is tempting to limit its use to the issues of profitability, societal progress, and an overall well-being of the stakeholders involved in the business processes. However, the concept is broad enough to be utilized outside the for-profit companies and can be equally successfully applied by governments, communities, and, with certain adjustments, individuals. The following paper provides an overview of the two ways in which a shared value business concept affects me on a daily basis. The first area is the observed consequences of successfully implemented shared value creation. In the majority of cases, the shared value created in the process is oriented primarily at customers and has an overall positive effect on all parties. Therefore, it would be reasonable to conclude that at least some modern business practices are either in the process of developing positive changes or have already included them in their business model. For an individual consumer, these changes are usually manifested in decreased product costs due to optimized resource use, coverage of previously unaddressed needs, and, in the long run, increased growth and prosperity of a community. A good example of such effect is the delivery and packaging optimization undertaken by several major retail chains. In many cases, the savings facilitated by such initiatives allow the companies to lower the prices of their products in order to retain a competitive advantage. From the customer’s point of view, the effect of such approach is twofold. On the one hand, the described process results in more attractive prices of the goods and otherwise caters to the customer’s interests. On the other hand, some of the strategies provide greater alignment with the customers’ views, values, and beliefs. A good example of such alignment is a product packaging of higher volume that reduces environmental impact while at the same time decreases the cost of an item. Admittedly, the described effects are usually negligible and only observable over a long period of time. In addition, it should be pointed out that from the customer perspective, some of the described initiatives are indistinguishable from corporate social responsibility programs without in-depth inquiry. Nevertheless, it is possible to refer to them as affecting me on a daily basis. The second area involves the applicability of shared value principles to non-business aspects of life. The
Alternative Solutions Several solutions can be used to deal with improper management. Such solutions should empower, mentor, and support the performance of every employee. This practice will ensure every employee focuses on the targeted organizational goals. The first alternative solution is Effective Performance Management (EPM). This approach focuses on new practices, ideas, technologies, and concepts to support the performance of different workers. The next solution is “planning and strategy” (Reilly, Minnick, & Baack, 2011, p. 46). Managers should identify the best practices to get the targeted outcomes. Planning is a powerful practice that ensures the right individuals and resources are in place. Proper planning ensures different workers complete specific tasks. A new strategy should be used to promote the functioning of the organization. The third solution is known as goal-setting. Managers should identify new goals for their companies. The approach will address every gap arising from poor managerial practices. A proper managerial approach will identify new goals. Such goals should be relevant, attainable, and measurable (Rajhans, 2012). This solution will be critical towards dealing with improper management. The fourth solution should focus on effective leadership. These practices will address every organizational problem. Plausibility of the Above Solutions The above four solutions have the potential to deal with poor morale and improper management. Effective leadership promotes new practices such as “decision-making, problem-solving, and communication” (Reilly et al., 2011, p. 76). These organizational aspects will eventually result in positive performance. The other solution is goal-setting. A new goal should be identified. The goal can “focus on the best strategies to deal with burnout, low morale, and mismanagement” (Reilly et al., 2011, p. 79). The next solution is EPM. This approach embraces new strategies that have the potential to improve the level of performance. Organizational leaders should be ready to “manage different activities, roles, and responsibilities” (Reilly et al., 2011, p. 103). They can also use modern technologies to achieve the best goals. Proper planning is critical because it addresses the gaps affecting a specific firm. A powerful strategy should also be used to achieve every targeted goal. These solutions ca
Executive Summary This report provides an analysis of current issues related to medical assistance programs. Attention is mostly devoted to factors that have led to an increase in spending. Scholarly sources will be examined to collect the data on this subject matter. A set of recommendations that should be considered by policymakers will also be provided. All of the findings will be summarized in the final section of the paper. Spending One of the core factors that lead to an increase in Medicaid spending is caused by changes in policy. The Affordable Care Act has had an enormous influence in this case, and the number of enrollees has increased dramatically. It is possible to identify a particular connection with the approach that has been utilized in China. The government has recognized that individuals that are most vulnerable cannot gain access to necessary services, and have tried to remove barriers that were present (Wagstaff, Lindelow, Wang, and Zhang 38). However, the initiative has led to many complications in the United States. Researchers found that expenses have grown by eighteen percent in the states that expanded, and only by six percent in the rest (Galewitz par. 2). This difference is quite significant and should be acknowledged. It would be reasonable to examine enrollment and spending data to get a better understanding of the issue. It is possible to state that the figures seem reasonable, but the number of enrollees is quite intriguing (“Policy Basics: Introduction to Medicaid” par. 3). Close to fifty percent of them are children, and only eight percent are elderly (see Table 1).

Medicaid enrollment and spending in 2012. The data is quite outdated, but should be analyzed when developing a strategy that would help to decrease budget shortages. The government has to provide full support for individuals that enrolled recently throughout the whole year, according to the health law. However, close to ten percent of the costs have to be picked up by the states. The process is rather gradual, but the impact on the budget is enormous (see fig. 1). Fig 1. Causes of Enrollment and Spending Growth. It should be noted that such changes are hard to predict because of numerous economic and political factors. Moreover, the

Without a doubt, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is one of the greatest contributors to the field of art in Germany. His contributions that go beyond performing and nonperforming arts lives him as one of Germany’s most talented people with the ability to contribute both in the arts and in science. A close analysis of Goethe’s work points out the great influence of the then culture and era in his works. This paper will first give his brief biography before highlighting the events of the era and the culture and how all these influenced his work (Brown 23). Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was born in Frankfurt in 1749. He was the first child of Johann Caspar Goethe, a lawyer, and Katherine Elisabeth Textor, daughter of Frankfurt’s mayor. Johann received his broad education from home due to some problems at school. He joined Leipzig University in 1765 and studied a degree in law until 1768. he also engaged in drawing lessons with the help of Oeser. The first novel was written by Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774) was the foundation of his establishment as a novelist. However, Faust remains his greatest literary work not just in Germany, but in Europe as a whole (Brown 24). Goethe goes further to act as a member of the council before being appointed to head the roads and services portfolio. His public service career later adds on financial management in Weimar courts within its folder. Goethe had so many relationships. One of his greatest loves was Charlotte von Stein, who was older and at the same time married. This relationship was nonsexual and ended. Goethe thereafter lived with Christine Vulpius as his mistress in 1789 and later married her. In the year 1806, Goethe fell in love with 19-year old Ulrike von Levetzow at the age of 74. Goethe died in Weimar on March 22, 1832. He was buried in a tomb in the ducal graveyard (Brown 24). Several cultural and physical events during Goethe’s period are found to influence his work. To begin with, the era was characterized by enlightenment. Scientific discoveries were the order of the day. Similarly, Goethe was a renowned scientist. Goethe contributes greatly to human anatomy when he comes up with intermaxillary bone that acts as the foundation for the skull theory. He also came up with the idea of Urpflanze , the exemplary plant that took him to different parts of the world and he believed that such a plant would survive on a rock-strewn hillside in the Mediterranean. However he then came to know that the archetypal plant was Leaf , this he put it as all parts of the plant are leaves. He also made a significant revelation about plant and an
