Based on your reading of Martin Luther’s Commentary on St. Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians (1531), and his On Secular Authority: To What Extent it Should be Obeyed (1523), write a 4-5 page (double-spaced) paper answering the below prompt:How does Christian righteousness through God’s imputation of faith affect the active righteousness of civil and temporal law and government? How do they relate to one another?Support your answer with reference to BOTH texts.Essay GuidelinesEssay Style: All references, paraphrases, quotations etc. must be properly footnoted and acknowledged. Please follow format according to the Chicago Manual of Style (see http://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/DocChicago.html). Unreferenced and poorly referenced papers will be given correspondingly lower grades.Plagiarism:Each discipline within the arts has specific and appropriate means for students to cite or acknowledge sources and the ideas and material of others used in their own work. Students have the responsibility to become familiar with such processes and to carefully follow their use in developing original work.Claiming authorship of, or using someone else\’s ideas or work without proper acknowledgment. Without proper attribution, a student may NOT replicate another\’s work, paraphrase another\’s ideas, or appropriate images in a manner that violates the specific rules against plagiarism in the student\’s department.When an instructor has evidence that a student has plagiarized work submitted for course credit, the instructor will confront the student and impose penalties that may include failing the course. In the case of a serious violation or repeated infractions from the same student, the instructor will report the infractions to the department chair.

Mr. Jones was the owner of a Washington nightclub when police came to suspect him of being a cocaine dealer. Police placed a GPS tracking device on his Jeep Grand Cherokee without a warrant, tracked his movements for a month, and used the evidence they gathered to convict him of conspiring to sell cocaine, after which he was sentenced to life in prison.This raises an interesting question. Is the placement of a tracking device on a person\’s car a \”search\” under the Fourth Amendment?On the one hand, tracking somebody\’s movements without a warrant seems awfully intrusive, doesn\’t it? On the other hand, anybody can follow anybody on a public street for any reason and see where they go. Why is it any different to do it with technology? The cops didn\’t technically \”search\” anything.Write an essay explaining the basic facts of United States v. Jones(Links to an external site.), the decision reached by the court, and why. If you were on the Supreme Court, how would you have ruled? Finally, think about the Fourth Amendment. These words were written in the 1790s, but think about them in the context of an age with email, cell phones, high-resolution satellite photography that can watch you from earth orbit, and infra-red sensors that can detect the heat generated by indoor marijuana plants from outside a building. Where do you think a government search crosses the line from reasonable to unreasonable? Give some examples.Additional ResourcesSCOTUS blog, as always, is a great place to start: http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/united-states-v-jones/(Links to an external site.)OYEZ also has a good explanation of the case: http://www.oyez.org/cases/2010-2019/2011/2011_10_1259

You are creating a community health promotion resource that addresses a cardiovascular subject of your choosing. You are creating this tool for a segmented population of health care consumers. Create an informational tool in the form of one of the following: Brochure/pamphlet Video Use the information provided on the American Heart Association\’s website by using the following link: http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Conditions/Conditions_UCM_001087_SubHomePage.jsp Include the following in your resource: Identify the disease or subject of focus.

You may interview yourself and then reflect on the deviance in which you have participated. If you choose this latter option, you must still do the paper as it is required to be done; it doesn\’t change the assignment. First, frame a set of issues, concerns, and questions you would like to address in the interview. You will need to turn in a copy of the interview transcript. Please note that the transcription of your interview does not count as part of the final paper; the final paper is meant to be an analysis linking together the findings and patterns from your interview with course materials.Draw on course material wherever possible in your project. It is more important that you draw on our course material rather than rely on materials from other classes or from library or Internet research. I trust that you will agree that we have plenty of rich material to work with right here.A very successful paper will be one that analyzes and makes sense of themes that run through the entire semester. You must fully and sensitively master, think through, and expand on the central concepts and questions of the semester, make use of relevant theoretical concepts, and stay grounded in our course readings, discussions, and films. I am interested in how you demonstrate your own ability to think critically. Avoid using very long quotations and close paraphrasing of the readings. Some quoting is indeed very important though to support your points where applicable. I am most interested in how you discuss and interpret ideas in your own words.

Use the format and suggestions on pp. 151-155 of the “Business Analysis Techniques” reading (pay attention to the “practical points” too).Each of you, at some point, has had the experience of working somewhere—or even just being a student—where you believed that some simple, fixable change would improve the organization or the customer/student experience. (“If only they would listen…”).I would like you to reflect on your proposed idea, and compose a strategic analysis to explain and perhaps argue for it, and present that in the form of a “business case” memo/report. Use one or more of the Structured Analytic Techniques or of the Business Analytic Techniques—but I will let you choose. This assignment has about a 7-10 day turnaround to mirror (somewhat) the conditions of real life. But that should be plenty of time.Here are the headings to use in your memo:IntroductionManagement summary (or executive summary)Background or description of the current situationOptions considered of benefits and costs Investment appraisal Impact analysisRisk analysisConclusions and recommendationsJust to give some uniformity, I ask that you use 12 pt. Times New Roman font, single spaced, with 1” margins on all sides of the page.Feel free to use graphics or charts to support or enhance your analysis, but be sure they clarify rather than confuse the point you are trying to convey.Communicate your analysis clearly and concisely. In no case, should the memo exceed 7 single spaced pages—but it can be shorter… as long as you are thorough and make your case.
