Jessica attended a re-training program at a local junior college after working for 32 years in the lumber industry. She enjoyed her time in school but felt unprepared when it came time to find a job after graduating with her associate's degree. Jessica believed the lack of transition or job training during her two years of schooling hindered her ability to re-enter the workforce. In particular, she felt two years behind in her skills and networking connections. Jessica sympathized with younger graduates who also received no support from the school for job placement after graduation. She remains affected today in negotiating salaries, feeling she could have done better with help in strengthening her weak areas from the school.

This document summarizes a new weight loss program that uses digital scales connected to music players to provide feedback on weight changes.

The program aims to help people lose weight while also reducing stress through the musical feedback.
This document describes potential activities and exercises for an assignment involving shapes, mazes, and colors. It includes images of a maze, geometric shapes, a floor plan, and examples of mazes constructed from cardboard and duct tape. The activities are meant to encourage experimentation, problem solving, and creative thinking. Students would be challenged to extend maze walls, cut and reassemble maze sections, generate their own mazes, and construct physical mazes for pets to navigate. The goal is to teach organization, tactics, and encourage metacognition through hands-on creative play.

Hypertension remains difficult to treat effectively despite available drugs. Aggressive treatment of moderate and mild hypertension through combinations of drugs from different classes leads to better outcomes. Combination therapy is recommended to control blood pressure as it is more effective than monotherapy due to targeting multiple mechanisms. Fixed-dose combinations have advantages over individual drugs such as better blood pressure control, fewer side effects, and increased compliance.
