Essay 1
In The Origins of the Legend of Lao Tan Lao-Tzu is depicted as one person from two
different kingdoms. There is a phrase on the first page that is interesting and is the following “a
good merchant fills his store-houses but appears to have nothing: a true gentleman is overflowing
with virtue but looks as if he was a fool” (pp.23) and this man was from Chou. The next phrase
that is interesting is “Lao-Tzu lived at least 160 years, some say at least 200 years, as a result of
cultivating the Way and nurturing longevity (pp.24)” and this man was from Ch’u. It appears that
those two phrases relate the best to the Dao De Jing the best (at least what we looked at so far in
class). With these couple of phrases it appears that the tale of Laozi is Daoist; but compared to
Confucianism to make it completely Chinese in origin.
The first phrase that I mentioned about the merchant filling his store house but appears to
have nothing seems to be referring to what the Dao De Jing says “he accumulates an abundance
of virtue.” This passage seems to be behind the description of Laozi, because a merchant with
nothing tangible to sell cannot be a merchant (for long). The first part also appears to be talking
about “that which is completely empty endures” in the Dao that we have read so far it mentions
that to follow the Dao to be whole you must be empty.
The second part of the first phrase I think came from the Dao De Jing as well and not
from Confucianism. In the first part of the Guodian it says “cut off knowledge and discard
disputation, cut off skill and discard benefit, and cut off purposiveness and discard worry.” By
cutting off all these things a person would look like a fool. Also, by cutting off these things a
person would appear to have nothing and therefore would appear to be the only one left in his
family, which would be a bad thing in Confucianism (have no family).
2
The second phrase that I mentioned also appears to be written after the Dao De Jing and
to be Daoist in origin. In Confucianism you continuously live through being remembered by later
generations; but in Daoism there are passages that appear to try and lead you toward finding
immortality or long life. The second phrase mentioned that Laozi lived for as long as 200 years
by cultivating the Way thus was able to nurture longevity.
One of the parts of the Dao says “they are born and move, move and reach death” and
another passage says “through attempting nothing, everything will be done.” These two passages
would seem to promote a Daoist origin, because they are encouraging longevity and eventually
immortality. The first passage that I wrote appears to be talking about making only necessary
movements as to not waste the energy that feeds the souls. The second passage appears to mean
that through following the Dao things will fall into place on their own which will promote
longevity because you do not ...

Essay 6.1
In the late Han period, a sweeping anxiety concerning the ending of the present cosmic cycle had taken the populous on whole. It was their belief that their world, and universe in general was at the cusp of a great turning point, of which they could not reconcile the current state of being they had become so familiar with. However the in the Purple Texts, Yang Xi’s calculations of time cycles leave many specifics to the speculation of the reader. Such uncertainties led to numerous accounts of the actual string of events leading to the end time’s narrative. Though the technicalities were contested, the messages in the purple text makes clear Yang Xi sensed the final years of his society were at hand.
The details of this apocalyptic scenario envisioned the destruction of all evil nested in the old world, though also the salvation of those deemed “seed people” in order that they may carry forward from their home to a new heaven and earth. Thusly, this dichotomy of good and evil leveraged one’s inclination for self-preservation and resonated the core of every disciple. However, it was also known the Purple Texts held such power that one who gained access and devoted themselves to its teachings was thereby saved from the coming ruin. Worldly manifestations enlightenment were discouraged as the Confucian virtues were alleged to only qualify one through transcendence for the lowest places of celestial bureaucracy upon the cycle’s reestablishment. Along these sentiments, people were encouraged to immediately start their own study of the practices endorsed by the Purple Texts so they may make it onto the list of the seed people.
Although message of salvation through the Purple Texts had reached its audience, the population at large still went uneasily about their place among a new earth and heaven. The bureaucratic culture of the Daoist religion had washed their aspirations with expectation and doubt. Disciples sought discern the order or rank they may attain in the renewed earth and heaven. With this sentiment, the Purple Texts outlines what was then known as the “Marks of Transcendence”, characterized by the interpretation of bodily details that were ascribed a propensity of greater calling for the person with such physical distinctions. Such a practice closely mirrored the foundations of physiognomy, a practice that drew distinct contention through the Doaist contemporary. However in late the Han period, a corporate culture had overtaken society’s structure and individualism was looked down upon in order for ritualistic orthodoxy to flourish. Thus the importance of a method to discern the core mettle of a person arose to the consensus of all who held anxieties towards the imposing fate of end times. The “Marks of Transcendence” depicted even hidden features of a person, only known to the spirits, characteristics of which communicated a person’s moral character as well as the condition of one’s book of life in the myriad heavens.

CONFUCIANISM
The four Religious Traditions of China
Chinese culture is marked by four main religious traditions:1. The traditional folk religion2. Taoism3. Confucianism (had state patronnage)4. Buddhism
The “San-jiao heyi” conceptThe Chinese emphasis on harmony was also extended to “the unity of the three faiths” “San-jiao heyi” is still widely used to refer to Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.
More popular teachers such as Jiao Hong (1540-1620) taught that all three religions constitute in fact “a single teaching,” and all three should be believed because each merely uses separate language to articulate its truth.
Liu Mi (Active 1324):
“Although the Three Teaching are different,
in the arguments they put forward, they are One.”
Emperor Xiaozong (1163-1189):
“Use Buddhism to rule the mind,
Daoism to rule the body
Confucianism to rule the world.”
Lin Zhaoen (1517-1598):
“if someone is a Confucian, give him Confucius;
If he is a Daoist, give him Lao Zi;
If he is a Buddhist, give him Shakyamuni;
If he isn’t any of them, give him their unity.”
- Wisdom religions- way of life for the scholarly and governing class- A religious conception of Government- Harmony between Man, nature and Heaven

TEN MAJOR CHARACTERISTICS OF CHINESE RELIGIONS 1. THE GOLDEN RULE (OF LOVE)
In China, 500 years before the birth of Jesus, Confucius (551-470 B.C.), when asked by a disciple if a norm existed that one could follow throughout one’s life, said: “Love of the neighbor. Whatsoever you do not desire for yourself, do not do unto others.”
(Analects, 12.2 and 15.23).
In another version he stated: “What I do not wish others to do to me, that also I wish not to do to them”
(Analects, 5.11).
Ten Major Characteristics of Chinese Religions:2. Belief in “the Path of Heaven”3. Belief in Divination, Exorcism, Magical Power.4. Veneration of the Ancestors
5. Quest for Harmony and Balance6. Belief in the interconnectedness

Now the Earth has had wide variations in atmospheric CO2-level throu.docxhoney725342
Now the Earth has had wide variations in atmospheric CO2-level throughout its long history before the evolution of humans and certainly before the Industrial Revolutions.In terms of the oceans and the Earth's whole history then could you find information to support the coal and oil industry's claims that we're NOT the cause of climate change? Do some research and cite other factors in climate besides CO2 levels that would support your claims. Also read the attached article about the controversy. Remember too that there is a lot of money and certainly politics involved in this issue. Some scientists have built their whole careers on trying to prove or disprove the human connections to global warming.
As you'll see when you do your research the figures for sea-level rise are all over the place. That's because they're based on models that are even more complex than hurricane tracking models (they drive even supercomputers nuts).
Now the term
"sea-level"
is relative. If you check a geologic map you'll see that just about every piece of land on Earth has been underwater at least once. That's why sedimentary rocks are the most common type of land surface rock. Sea-level has been up and down thousands of times in the Earth's long history. We're just living on the "latest edition" of our planet. Also the one thing that I want everybody to learn from this course: we live on the Earth and we certainly affect it but
we
DO NOT control it
even though we like to think we do. We're just riding this wet rock through space.
As for the continuing scientific controversy check out this recent article:

ABSTRACT
Background: Intercultural communication has become increasingly important in nursing due to the cross-border mobility of patients, health professionals and students. Development of cultural competence continues to be a challenge, particularly among professionals such as educators or healthcare providers who work in professions requiring communication across cultural boundaries. Despite challenges in nursing education related to cultural diversity, competence in intercultural communication has been proven to empower students and to help them grow professionally.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe clinical mentors' experiences of their intercultural commu- nication competence in mentoring culturally and linguistically diverse nursing students during completion of their clinical practice.
Design: Qualitative study design.
Participants: The participants were 12 nurses who had previously mentored at least two culturally and lin- guistically diverse nursing students.
Methods: Data were collected during spring 2016 using semi-structured interviews of 12 mentors working in specialized nursing care at one hospital located in central Finland. Data were analyzed using deductive-inductive content analysis. The main concepts of the Integrated Model of Intercultural Communication Competence were used during the semi-structured theme interviews and during analysis. These concepts include empathy, moti- vation, global attitude, intercultural experience and interaction involvement.
Results: Mentors stated that empathy motivates them in the development of intercultural communication. Mentors experienced a lack of resources and support from their superiors, which caused psychological and ethical strain and reduced mentors' motivation. Mentors openly admitted that they had experienced fear towards unknown cultures, but that this fear was reduced through positive mentoring experiences and cultural en- counters.
Conclusions: Continuous education on intercultural communication competence could succeed to further de- velop clinical mentors' mentoring expertise, which could have the potential to greatly benefit students, patients and staff. Such education could be designed, implemented and measured for its effect in co.
Now that you’ve seen all of the elements contributing to the Devil’s.docxhoney725342
Now that you’ve seen all of the elements contributing to the Devil’s Canyon enterprise architecture, Justin wants to move forward with developing privacy policies to ensure videos aren’t distributed or uploaded to the net without the consent of the people in them. This opens a much larger conversation: Devil’s Canyon is also in need of a complete security plan, as well as risk assessments.
In a 2- to 3-page rationale and table,
prepare
the following information to present to the Devil’s Canyon team:
Explain the relationship between policies and security plans. Identify potential policy needs, noting Justin’s privacy policy, in relation to the Devil’s Canyon enterprise structure.
Outline the importance of a security plan in relation to security roles and safeguards.
Analyze at least 5 security-related risks/threats that Devil’s Canyon may face.
Assess the probability and impact to the Devil’s Canyon if each risk occurs. Based on these two factors, determine the overall risk level. For purposes of this assignment, evaluate and categorize each factor as low, medium, or high, and create a table to illustrate the risks. For example, a risk/threat with a low likelihood of occurrence and a high impact would represent an overall medium risk.
Consider digital elements mentioned in the designing of the enterprise architecture, such as software, hardware, proposed security measures, smart lift tickets, web cam systems, and smartphones.

The first thing that should be noted is that psych nursing is a recent academic option, which is highly relevant that more people are trained in it and help to broaden and deepen the scientific foundation of the care it offers. Although the psych nurses are already able to carry out different activities without the need for another health professional to indicate them, it is important that they can acquire greater independence so that their contribution is even greater, which is my first professional development goal. Therefore, the degree in psych nursing must be strengthened, with studies and evidence that allow the framework of the work of those who practice it to grow and, in turn, encourage its professionals to intervene promptly to avoid complicating the medical situation of a patient.

Nurse workforce shortage are predicted to get worse as baby boomers .docxhoney725342
Nurse workforce shortage are predicted to get worse as baby boomers age and healthcare needs increase (AACN, n.d.). Registered nurse openings increase as nurses are retiring and leaving the workforce for various reasons such as burnout (AACN, n.d.). Enrollment increases to nursing educational programs does not meet the demand for nurses (AACN, n.d.). Nursing leader interventions that will impact the shortage is a focus on retention of nurses, attention to safe staffing ratios, and attention to quality care.

Now, for the exam itself. Below are 4 questions. You need to answer .docxhoney725342
Now, for the exam itself. Below are 4 questions. You need to answer 2 of them with a mix of your ideas, quotes from the text, and some secondary research (non-Wikipedia, non-Litcharts). I am looking for about 5 pages for both mini-essays combined. The due date will be April 9 by 11:59pm. No extensions.
Questions:
1. Often we attribute cowardice for Hamlet’s lack of action in the face of an obvious call for revenge. Is there some other way to view Hamlet the character?

Nur-501-AP4- Philosophical and Theoretical Evidence-Based research
Watson’s philosophy and science of caring has four major concepts: human being, health, environment/society, and nursing Butts & Rich, 2015). In Watson’s view, the disease might be cured, but illness would remain because, without caring, health is not attained. Caring is the essence of nursing and connotes responsiveness between the nurse and the person; the nurse co-participates with the person. Watson contends that caring can assist the person to gain control, become knowledgeable, and promote health changes.
According to Watson (2009), the core of the Theory of Caring is that “humans cannot be treated as objects and that humans cannot be separated from self, other, nature, and the larger workforce.” Her theory encompasses the whole world of nursing; with the emphasis placed on the interpersonal process between the caregiver and care recipient. The theory is focused on “the centrality of human caring and on the caring-to-caring transpersonal relationship and its healing potential for both the one who is caring and the one who is being cared for” (Watson, 2009). The structure for the science of caring is built upon ten carative factors. Among them are human altruistic values, faith-hope, sensitivity to one’s self or other, trust, human caring relationship, and promotion of self-expression (.
Watson defines Human being as a valued person to be cared for, respected, nurtured, understood, and assisted, in general a philosophical view of a person as a fully functional integrated self. Personhood is viewed as greater than and different from the sum of his or her parts which are mind-body-soul-connection (Butt & Rich 2015)
The personhood concept in Watson theory of caring implies that patients are not all the same. Each person brings a unique background of experiences, values, and cultural perspective to health care encounter. Caring facilitates a nurse’s ability to know a patient, allowing the nurse to recognize a patient’s problem and find and implement individualized solution on the patient’s unique needs.
Knowing the person allows the nurse to avoid assumptions, to center on the one cared for (Keller, 2013). It also gives the nurse to opportunity to assess thoroughly by seeking clues to clarify the issue that the individual is going through.
The concept of personhood also integrates the human caring processes with healing environment, incorporating the life-generating and life receiving processes of human caring and healing for nurses and their patient. The concept put emphasis on developing a caring relationship with the person as a nurse and listen to the person’ stories to fully understand the meaning an impact of the individual’s condition. This information and understanding helps in the development and delivery of individualized patient centered care. The transpersonal caring theory rejects disease orientation to health care and places care before cure. When the .

Abstract
With obesity affecting approximately 12.5 million American youth,
population-level interventions are indicated to help support healthy
behaviors. The purpose of this review is to provide a summary of
population-level intervention strategies and specific intervention exam-
ples that illustrate ways to help prevent and control obesity in children
through improving nutrition and physical activity behaviors. Informa-
tion is summarized within the settings where children live, learn, and
play (early care and education, school, community, health care, home).
Intervention strategies are activities or changes intended to promote
healthful behaviors in children. They were identified from (a) systematic
reviews; (b) evidence- and expert consensus–based recommendations,
guidelines, or standards from nongovernmental or federal agencies;
and finally (c) peer-reviewed synthesis reviews. Intervention examples
illustrate how at least one of the strategies was used in a particular
setting. To identify interventions examples, we considered (a) peer-
reviewed literature as well as (b) additional sources with research-tested
and practice-based initiatives. Researchers and practitioners may use
this review as they set priorities and promote integration across settings
and to find research- and practice-tested intervention examples that can
be replicated in their communities for childhood obesity prevention.

CONFUCIANISM
The four Religious Traditions of China
Chinese culture is marked by four main religious traditions:1. The traditional folk religion2. Taoism3. Confucianism (had state patronnage)4. Buddhism
The “San-jiao heyi” conceptThe Chinese emphasis on harmony was also extended to “the unity of the three faiths” “San-jiao heyi” is still widely used to refer to Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.
More popular teachers such as Jiao Hong (1540-1620) taught that all three religions constitute in fact “a single teaching,” and all three should be believed because each merely uses separate language to articulate its truth.
Liu Mi (Active 1324):
“Although the Three Teaching are different,
in the arguments they put forward, they are One.”
Emperor Xiaozong (1163-1189):
“Use Buddhism to rule the mind,
Daoism to rule the body
Confucianism to rule the world.”
Lin Zhaoen (1517-1598):
“if someone is a Confucian, give him Confucius;
If he is a Daoist, give him Lao Zi;
If he is a Buddhist, give him Shakyamuni;
If he isn’t any of them, give him their unity.”
- Wisdom religions- way of life for the scholarly and governing class- A religious conception of Government- Harmony between Man, nature and Heaven
*Taoism focuses the attention on cosmic natureConfucianism focuses on human nature
Characteristics of the Chinese Spirit1. Simplicity,2. Balance 3. Harmony4. No “big ego,” 5. Patience.6. Humanness7. Politeness (good manners)

Other concepts4. DIVINATION5. ANCESTOR VENERATION6. QUEST FOR BALANCE AND HARMONY
TEN MAJOR CHARACTERISTICS OF CHINESE RELIGIONS 1. THE GOLDEN RULE (OF LOVE)
In China, 500 years before the birth of Jesus, Confucius (551-470 B.C.), when asked by a disciple if a norm existed that one could follow throughout one’s life, said: “Love of the neighbor. Whatsoever you do not desire for yourself, do not do unto others.”
(Analects, 12.2 and 15.23).
In another version he stated: “What I do not wish others to do to me, that also I wish not to do to them”
(Analects, 5.11).
Ten Major Characteristics of Chinese Religions:2. Belief in “the Path of Heaven”3. Belief in Divination, Exorcism, Magical Power.4. Veneration of the Ancestors
5. Quest for Harmony and Balance6. Belief in the interconnectedness
of everybody and everything.7. “Following the Flow”:
Trust in the virtues of
“naturalness,”
“simplicity”
and “Patience.”
(“slow down,” if you want to achieve happiness).

Now the Earth has had wide variations in atmospheric CO2-level throu.docxhoney725342
Now the Earth has had wide variations in atmospheric CO2-level throughout its long history before the evolution of humans and certainly before the Industrial Revolutions.In terms of the oceans and the Earth's whole history then could you find information to support the coal and oil industry's claims that we're NOT the cause of climate change? Do some research and cite other factors in climate besides CO2 levels that would support your claims. Also read the attached article about the controversy. Remember too that there is a lot of money and certainly politics involved in this issue. Some scientists have built their whole careers on trying to prove or disprove the human connections to global warming.
As you'll see when you do your research the figures for sea-level rise are all over the place. That's because they're based on models that are even more complex than hurricane tracking models (they drive even supercomputers nuts).
Now the term
"sea-level"
is relative. If you check a geologic map you'll see that just about every piece of land on Earth has been underwater at least once. That's why sedimentary rocks are the most common type of land surface rock. Sea-level has been up and down thousands of times in the Earth's long history. We're just living on the "latest edition" of our planet. Also the one thing that I want everybody to learn from this course: we live on the Earth and we certainly affect it but
we
DO NOT control it
even though we like to think we do. We're just riding this wet rock through space.

ABSTRACT
Background: Intercultural communication has become increasingly important in nursing due to the cross-border mobility of patients, health professionals and students. Development of cultural competence continues to be a challenge, particularly among professionals such as educators or healthcare providers who work in professions requiring communication across cultural boundaries. Despite challenges in nursing education related to cultural diversity, competence in intercultural communication has been proven to empower students and to help them grow professionally.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe clinical mentors' experiences of their intercultural commu- nication competence in mentoring culturally and linguistically diverse nursing students during completion of their clinical practice.
Design: Qualitative study design.
Participants: The participants were 12 nurses who had previously mentored at least two culturally and lin- guistically diverse nursing students.
Methods: Data were collected during spring 2016 using semi-structured interviews of 12 mentors working in specialized nursing care at one hospital located in central Finland. Data were analyzed using deductive-inductive content analysis. The main concepts of the Integrated Model of Intercultural Communication Competence were used during the semi-structured theme interviews and during analysis. These concepts include empathy, moti- vation, global attitude, intercultural experience and interaction involvement.
Results: Mentors stated that empathy motivates them in the development of intercultural communication. Mentors experienced a lack of resources and support from their superiors, which caused psychological and ethical strain and reduced mentors' motivation. Mentors openly admitted that they had experienced fear towards unknown cultures, but that this fear was reduced through positive mentoring experiences and cultural en- counters.
Conclusions: Continuous education on intercultural communication competence could succeed to further de- velop clinical mentors' mentoring expertise, which could have the potential to greatly benefit students, patients and staff. Such education could be designed, implemented and measured for its effect in co.
Now that you’ve seen all of the elements contributing to the Devil’s.docxhoney725342
Now that you’ve seen all of the elements contributing to the Devil’s Canyon enterprise architecture, Justin wants to move forward with developing privacy policies to ensure videos aren’t distributed or uploaded to the net without the consent of the people in them. This opens a much larger conversation: Devil’s Canyon is also in need of a complete security plan, as well as risk assessments.
In a 2- to 3-page rationale and table,
prepare
the following information to present to the Devil’s Canyon team:
Explain the relationship between policies and security plans. Identify potential policy needs, noting Justin’s privacy policy, in relation to the Devil’s Canyon enterprise structure.
Outline the importance of a security plan in relation to security roles and safeguards.
Analyze at least 5 security-related risks/threats that Devil’s Canyon may face.
Assess the probability and impact to the Devil’s Canyon if each risk occurs. Based on these two factors, determine the overall risk level. For purposes of this assignment, evaluate and categorize each factor as low, medium, or high, and create a table to illustrate the risks. For example, a risk/threat with a low likelihood of occurrence and a high impact would represent an overall medium risk.
Consider digital elements mentioned in the designing of the enterprise architecture, such as software, hardware, proposed security measures, smart lift tickets, web cam systems, and smartphones.

Professional Development Goals
The first thing that should be noted is that psych nursing is a recent academic option, which is highly relevant that more people are trained in it and help to broaden and deepen the scientific foundation of the care it offers. Although the psych nurses are already able to carry out different activities without the need for another health professional to indicate them, it is important that they can acquire greater independence so that their contribution is even greater, which is my first professional development goal. Therefore, the degree in psych nursing must be strengthened, with studies and evidence that allow the framework of the work of those who practice it to grow and, in turn, encourage its professionals to intervene promptly to avoid complicating the medical situation of a patient.
I would like to be supportive, have a vocation for service, be responsible, and be organized. It is these basic qualities that will allow me to develop a nursing career. The organization and responsibility would be oriented there because the nurse, by nat.

Nurse workforce shortage are predicted to get worse as baby boomers age and healthcare needs increase (AACN, n.d.). Registered nurse openings increase as nurses are retiring and leaving the workforce for various reasons such as burnout (AACN, n.d.). Enrollment increases to nursing educational programs does not meet the demand for nurses (AACN, n.d.). Nursing leader interventions that will impact the shortage is a focus on retention of nurses, attention to safe staffing ratios, and attention to quality care.

Nur-501-AP4- Philosophical and Theoretical Evidence-Based research
Watson’s philosophy and science of caring has four major concepts: human being, health, environment/society, and nursing Butts & Rich, 2015). In Watson’s view, the disease might be cured, but illness would remain because, without caring, health is not attained. Caring is the essence of nursing and connotes responsiveness between the nurse and the person; the nurse co-participates with the person. Watson contends that caring can assist the person to gain control, become knowledgeable, and promote health changes.
According to Watson (2009), the core of the Theory of Caring is that “humans cannot be treated as objects and that humans cannot be separated from self, other, nature, and the larger workforce.” Her theory encompasses the whole world of nursing; with the emphasis placed on the interpersonal process between the caregiver and care recipient. The theory is focused on “the centrality of human caring and on the caring-to-caring transpersonal relationship and its healing potential for both the one who is caring and the one who is being cared for” (Watson, 2009). The structure for the science of caring is built upon ten carative factors. Among them are human altruistic values, faith-hope, sensitivity to one’s self or other, trust, human caring relationship, and promotion of self-expression (.
Watson defines Human being as a valued person to be cared for, respected, nurtured, understood, and assisted, in general a philosophical view of a person as a fully functional integrated self. Personhood is viewed as greater than and different from the sum of his or her parts which are mind-body-soul-connection (Butt & Rich 2015)
The personhood concept in Watson theory of caring implies that patients are not all the same. Each person brings a unique background of experiences, values, and cultural perspective to health care encounter. Caring facilitates a nurse’s ability to know a patient, allowing the nurse to recognize a patient’s problem and find and implement individualized solution on the patient’s unique needs.
Knowing the person allows the nurse to avoid assumptions, to center on the one cared for (Keller, 2013). It also gives the nurse to opportunity to assess thoroughly by seeking clues to clarify the issue that the individual is going through.
The concept of personhood also integrates the human caring processes with healing environment, incorporating the life-generating and life receiving processes of human caring and healing for nurses and their patient. The concept put emphasis on developing a caring relationship with the person as a nurse and listen to the person’ stories to fully understand the meaning an impact of the individual’s condition. This information and understanding helps in the development and delivery of individualized patient centered care. The transpersonal caring theory rejects disease orientation to health care and places care before cure. When the .

Abstract
With obesity affecting approximately 12.5 million American youth,
population-level interventions are indicated to help support healthy
behaviors. The purpose of this review is to provide a summary of
population-level intervention strategies and specific intervention exam-
ples that illustrate ways to help prevent and control obesity in children
through improving nutrition and physical activity behaviors. Informa-
tion is summarized within the settings where children live, learn, and
play (early care and education, school, community, health care, home).
Intervention strategies are activities or changes intended to promote
healthful behaviors in children. They were identified from (a) systematic
reviews; (b) evidence- and expert consensus–based recommendations,
guidelines, or standards from nongovernmental or federal agencies;
and finally (c) peer-reviewed synthesis reviews. Intervention examples
illustrate how at least one of the strategies was used in a particular
setting. To identify interventions examples, we considered (a) peer-
reviewed literature as well as (b) additional sources with research-tested
and practice-based initiatives. Researchers and practitioners may use
this review as they set priorities and promote integration across settings
and to find research- and practice-tested intervention examples that can
be replicated in their communities for childhood obesity prevention.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1 Essay 1 In The Origins of the Legend of Lao Tan L.docx
1. 1
Essay 1
In The Origins of the Legend of Lao Tan Lao-Tzu is depicted
as one person from two
different kingdoms. There is a phrase on the first page that is
interesting and is the following “a
good merchant fills his store-houses but appears to have
nothing: a true gentleman is overflowing
with virtue but looks as if he was a fool” (pp.23) and this man
was from Chou. The next phrase
that is interesting is “Lao-Tzu lived at least 160 years, some say
at least 200 years, as a result of
cultivating the Way and nurturing longevity (pp.24)” and this
man was from Ch’u. It appears that
those two phrases relate the best to the Dao De Jing the best (at
least what we looked at so far in
class). With these couple of phrases it appears that the tale of
Laozi is Daoist; but compared to
Confucianism to make it completely Chinese in origin.
The first phrase that I mentioned about the merchant filling his
2. store house but appears to
have nothing seems to be referring to what the Dao De Jing says
“he accumulates an abundance
of virtue.” This passage seems to be behind the description of
Laozi, because a merchant with
nothing tangible to sell cannot be a merchant (for long). The
first part also appears to be talking
about “that which is completely empty endures” in the Dao that
we have read so far it mentions
that to follow the Dao to be whole you must be empty.
The second part of the first phrase I think came from the Dao
De Jing as well and not
from Confucianism. In the first part of the Guodian it says “cut
off knowledge and discard
disputation, cut off skill and discard benefit, and cut off
purposiveness and discard worry.” By
cutting off all these things a person would look like a fool.
Also, by cutting off these things a
person would appear to have nothing and therefore would
appear to be the only one left in his
family, which would be a bad thing in Confucianism (have no
family).
3. 2
The second phrase that I mentioned also appears to be written
after the Dao De Jing and
to be Daoist in origin. In Confucianism you continuously live
through being remembered by later
generations; but in Daoism there are passages that appear to try
and lead you toward finding
immortality or long life. The second phrase mentioned that
Laozi lived for as long as 200 years
by cultivating the Way thus was able to nurture longevity.
One of the parts of the Dao says “they are born and move,
move and reach death” and
another passage says “through attempting nothing, everything
will be done.” These two passages
would seem to promote a Daoist origin, because they are
encouraging longevity and eventually
immortality. The first passage that I wrote appears to be talking
about making only necessary
movements as to not waste the energy that feeds the souls. The
second passage appears to mean
that through following the Dao things will fall into place on
their own which will promote
longevity because you do not move or endanger yourself.
4. In conclusion, the tale of Laozi appears to be written after the
Dao De Jing and Daoist in
origin, because of what appear to be references to the Dao De
Jing. Also, with the discussion of
souls and long life in your body you can see the differences
between Daoist thought and
Confucian thought.

Paper #7
Please read the papers assigned to you carefully two or three
times and then complete the following:
1) What is the author’s thesis statement?
The tale of Laozi appears to be written after the Dao De Jing
and Daoist in origin, because of what
appear to be references to the Dao De Jing.
2) Does the author argue for his or her thesis consistently and
logically? List three sentences that
support the main thesis.
His or her argument seems a little scattered and unorganized…
5. a. The second phrase that I mentioned also appears to be written
after the Dao De Jing and
to be Daoist in origin.
b. These two passages would seem to promote a Daoist origin,
because they are
encouraging longevity and eventually immortality
c. The first part also appears to be talking about “that which is
completely empty endures”
in the Dao that we have read so far it mentions that to follow
the Dao to be whole you must
be empty.
3) Were you convinced by the argument? Why or why not?
Not really, sorry. I had a hard time following what you were
arguing and some of the things in your paper
did not seem to relate well with the other things, such as the
opening paragraph when you talk about the
man from two kingdoms and the parts about Confucianism.
4) Write down two constructive suggestions that might improve
the paper.
a. Move your first sentence of your conclusion to the beginning
and make it your thesis. It
was the clearest sentence in terms of telling me what your
argument really was, but it
6. didn’t come until the end.
b. Cut out or work on tying in better the parts of your paper that
don’t solidly support that
thesis. The parts about Confucianism could be related better,
they just seemed to come
out of nowhere. Maybe you could say something like, “A
Confucian author would not
have made Laozi this way because of this.”
Xiang'er Commentary
The Xiang'er commentary was meant for a wide audience
especially those interested in original Dao's teachings and also
contains strong advice for a stable Daoist community that was
looking for a worthy monarch to adopt its ideas of governance
based on Dao's teaching. The Xiang'er emphasizes on the idea
of unity where it says that those who keep and do not transgress
the precepts maintains unity and those who do not practice the
precepts looses unity. He was addressing a worthy monarch.
The commentary also advices human beings: especially the
leaders to gauge any action against the precepts of the Dao and
carefully establish whether their actions contravene the Dao
expectations. It argues that those who follow and pursue the
precepts of the Dao, the Dao of life will not depart from them.
It warns those who do not keep the precepts of the Dao in
everything they do, they will miss the intentions of the Dao and
the Dao will depart from them. The commentary is a worthy
advice for a ruler since it teaches them on good leadership
based on Dao's teachings and intentions.
The Xiang'er also encouraged leaders to remake a society
7. on the model of the Dao. He advised leaders to remake a society
that is not based on the desire for wealth and fame. It called for
a society that was based on fear for the Dao and the respect of
heaven. The Xiang'er commentary gave 27 precepts that would
direct the society towards the intentions of the Dao. The
precepts warned against acting recklessly, killing, seeking fame,
coveting glory, neglecting the law, injuring the
ascendant pneumas among other warnings. These precepts
include guiding laws to both the rulers and subject for a just
society. The precepts portrayed morality in a way
that encompassed the necessity of physiological cultivation
practices. It also warned that material goods usually led
contravening of the precepts. The Xaing'er taught that common
people and the rulers pursued morality in hope of earthly
rewards and societal acclaim that led to a sad state of affairs. It
went ahead to advice that the solution for the good state of
affairs was religious morality that was not based on earthy
things desire but that was based on fear and respect for heaven.
The Xiang'er was advising rulers on the ways of creating a
good society which follows the Dao's intention. The Xiang'er
targeted the rulers when it stipulated punishment for offenders.
Minor offenders were given road repair duties. The Xiang'er
was written when the community offered leniency and concern
for suffering of the coon people. It is said that the commoners
and non-Chinese people were very happy about the Celestial
Masters rule. The libationers during those days used to set up
responsibility huts along roads leading to their territories so
that they can feed travellers and refugees. They had rules
regarding the eating habits and even those who broke the
ordinance were pardoned. The Xiang'er wants rulers to learn
from that administration in order to create a stable Daoist
society.
The Xiang'er commentary gave sufficient information
regarding the physiological practices for healing and
8. transcendence according to the early Celestial
master movement. It taught on ways of achieving transcendence
where a person was required to preserve and harmonize the
internal spirits.It warned against desires, anger and violent
emotions consequences as they could only result to destructive
movement of the pneumas. It stipulated that an individual was
supposed to avoid these tendencies of the heart so that they can
achieve clarity and stillness in their lives. These teaching were
meant for rulers since a good ruler is supposed to eradicate the
heart deviant tendencies for a just society in accordance to the
Dao's needs and expectations.
The Xiang'er commentary targets a wide audience of human
beings seeking to follow the teaching of the Celestial Masters
and the Dao when it creates its new methods for physiological
cultivation. The advance method was identified with the rite of
merging pneumas which is referred to as Celestial Master
marriage rite. It called for a sexual penetration after a thorough
series of massages and visualizations of one partner by the next.
It attacked the classics of sexual hygiene.In addition, it
taught that since the Dao had unconditional love for humans and
he had desire for the species to continue, sexual intercourse was
only meant for reproduction purposes only. At the age of fifty,
one was supposed to stop the essences to produce life according
to the Xiang'er. Youths were advised to preserve their essence
but not to cut it off according to the Xiang'er.
The Xiang'er commentary was largely addressed to a stable
Daoist community that was looking for a worthy leader who
would adopt the Dao's teachings in his or her leadership. It also
targets the society that needs the original teachings and rules of
the Dao. It gives an insight of what the Dao expects from the
humans.

Lords and People: The Audience of the Xiang'er Commentary
The Xiang'er Commentary is an ancient text on Celestial Master
variation of Daoism, and
is one of the earliest texts that interprets the Laozi (also known
as the Dao de Jing) and gives
additional explanation and context on the Laozi. This
commentary was later used as education
text to be recited by those faithful to Daoism. Though the
purpose of the Xiang’er Commentary
was to include additional context for the Laozi, most of the
commentary and the Laozi are
10. worded to speak to a broad audience, but specific passages seem
to target those in government.
Just like the Laozi, the Xiang'er Commentary was written for a
large audience. The
commentary addresses the ideal follower of the Dao as the
“Sage”, but it uses many other
inclusive words, such as “One” and”Those who are with the
Dao”. This inclusive wording allows
any reader to interpret it as themselves. In its early chapters, the
Laozi first speaks of the “Sage”;
“The Sage regulates through emptying his heart and filling his
belly, through weakening his will
and strengthening his bones.” The Xiang'er Commentary
provides additional context for this
chapter of the Laozi; “The heart is a regulator. It may hold
fortune or misfortune good or evil.
The belly is a sack for the Dao; it’s pneumas constantly wish to
fill it. When the heart produces
ill-omened and evil conduct, the Dao departs, leaving the sack
empty. Once it is empty, deviance
enters, killing the person. If one drives off the misfortune and
evil in the heart, the Dao will
return to it and the belly will be filled.” The Xiang'er
11. Commentary specifically addresses those
with a heart and a belly can be a vessel of the Dao, which is to
say everyone. “Thus, if one acts
in accord with the Dao, the Dao will accept one.”
Also like the Laozi, the Xiang'er Commentary was written for
Rulers and people of the
Government. Most of the Laozi speaks on how to follow the
Dao, however, there are specific
passages that address how to model a government after the Dao.
The Laozi speaks on the subject
of ruling;“This is why the Sages, through never being made
great, are able to complete their
greatness. Grasp the great image and a ll under heaven will
proceed to you. When they proceed
to you, there will be no barm. There will be peace and great
happiness.” The plural “Sages” in
this section refer to those in power and who follow the Dao. The
Xiang'er Commentary
extrapolates on this section of the Laozi; “If the king grasps the
correct law and models himself
on the great Dao, all under heaven will take refuge in him…
When the king rules in this fashion,
there will be great happiness.” The Xiang'er Commentary
reinforces the interpretation that the
12. Laozi speaks to those in power on how to model governance on
the Dao. Another passage of the
Laozi says “[S]ince the Dao never acts falsely, nothing is left
undone. If the king and lords are
able to cling to it, then the myriad of beings will transform of
themselves”. This is direct advice
to rulers and lords. The Xiang'er Commentary continues the
passage by including “[I]f the king’s
governance is patterned on the Dao, the officers and populace -
even the lowly and the evil - will
all convert to the Dao.”
Like the Laozi, the Xiang'er Commentary is addressing a large
audience for most of the
passages but later passages speak directly on Daoist
governance.
