Charlemagne was a medieval emperor who ruled much of Western Europe from 768 to 814. In 771, Charlemagne became king of the Franks, a Germanic tribe in present-day Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and western Germany. He embarked on a mission to unite all Germanic peoples into one kingdom, and to convert his subjects to Christianity. A skilled military strategist, he spent much of his reign engaged in warfare in order to accomplish his goals. In 800, Pope Leo III (750-816) crowned Charlemagne emperor of the Romans. In this role, he encouraged the Carolingian Renaissance, a cultural and intellectual revival in Europe.

Topic: Charlemagne had several reasons for maintaining a large group of scholars in his court.  Discuss, in detail, at least two of his reasons. 

Remember to include at least 800 double-spaced words of text, with in-text citations or footnotes.  You also need a cover page and a reference page.  Check the syllabus for specifics regarding the formatting of papers.

Please read these instructions thoroughly before posting to the discussion board.

Each discussion board question is graded on the basis of 20 points total for completeness of the answer that is referenced from the literature and responses to two of the postings of your colleagues. Please use the reply button rather than starting a new topic/thread when replying to others. There will be no extensions for Discussion board posts.  The objective of the Discussion Boards is to encourage a collaborative learning environment.  If you are unable to post during the week of the module in a timely fashion, you cannot interact in that collaborative learning environment.

Please start each discussion board posting with your name (Jane Doe). Your initial post must be a minimum of 200 + words

Student responses to discussion questions must be substantive, that is, thoughtful and analytical. You should organize your thoughts, ideas, and supporting evidence before you begin responding.  You should be sure to incorporate correlations with the assigned readings or topics. You should try to stay on topic but avoid summarizing.  Your goal is to contribute to the collaborative learning environment with depth and with the purpose of motivating discussion.  Discussions are based on evidence. Opinions are valuable, but if used in a discussion, they should be supported with appropriate cites.  You should ALWAYS respond to two students discussing questions that are different than the discussion question you selected to answer.  This enables you to get experience and information on three topics total! For example:

  • Initial Post – You decide to answer Question #2 and post your initial 200+ word thread with 3 cites
  • Response Post #1 – You then must select a person to respond to from questions 1, 3, or 4 for your 150+ word response; you choose 3
  • Response Post #2 – You then must select another person to respond to from questions 1 or 4 for your second 150+ word response

Question 1 – Example of a Management Habit

During this module, we asked you to think about the organizational habits you see in place around you. Share an example of a very successful or unproductive habit loop with the class that an organization has in place. Many habits develop without thoughtful intents. Do you believe this habit loop was an accident or created intentionally?

Assessment information

Use the information provided, together with the information that you researched and wrote about for Section A: Knowledge Activity in this Assessment workbook, as well as your own research, to complete this assessment.

 

For this assessment, you will undertake a series of tasks which will help you develop a media plan based on the following information provided to you by Bounce Fitness’s CEO:

 

 

The Client and Project

 

This campaign is for the Bounce Fitness Corporate Marketing Plan. Bounce Fitness has four fitness centres in three major cities on the east coast and one in a large regional centre in Queensland.

 

Target Audience

 

Businesses with over 20 employees primarily in the age groups of 20 to 50 through establishment of contracts  with  the  businesses.  Bounce Fitness programs are to be included as part of their employee benefits programs. This group represents the single largest cluster most likely to make large-scale use of facilities. Emphasis should  be  placed  on  larger  corporations  in each CBD of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. A proportionally smaller investment should be made in Cairns.

 

Seasonality

 

Schedule support, to the extent affordable, to provide continuous activity during late July – October. This period accounts for 80% of total membership sales and therefore highest demand by staff of businesses. It is also the beginning of the new tax year and will be more feasible for the businesses.

 

Geography

 

Allocate funds in accordance with market-volume contribution. Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane should receive the bulk of the funding.

 

Communication and

Creative goals

 

The   effective   frequency   level   for   high   BDI markets in the three major Centres (Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne) will be 2+ exposures over a typical four-week advertising period. This relatively low frequency goal reflects:

 

• The  lack  of  competitive  advertising presence in the market.

• The clean and straightforward presentation of product benefits (rather than image) in the creative execution.

 

Recognising the different selling environment between high and low BDI markets, the effective reach in local advertising will be increased upwards of the three-state goal.

 

Budget

 

$2,500,000 for the six-month period.

 

Compile your work ensuring that they meet the guidelines in the Bounce Fitness Style Guide    http://bounce.precisiongroup.com.au/procedures/ administrative-procedures/

World history homework help

The greatest source of Machiavelli’s reputation is, of course, his book The Prince (1532). The main theme of this short book is that all means may be resorted to for the establishment and preservation of authority — the end justifies the means — and that the worst and most treacherous acts  of the ruler are justified by the wickedness and treachery of the governed. Therefore, using whatever means necessary to protect the stability of the state was perfectly logical.

So…..read the quote below about Machiavelli and his groundbreaking political theory, and then answer the question below it.  (You may wish to read other sections of The Prince – it is fairly short and you can Google a complete copy online, or try  http://www.ilt.columbia.edu/publications/machiavelli.html (Links to an external site.).)

It has been a common view among political philosophers that there exists a special relationship between moral goodness and legitimate authority.

Many authors (especially those who composed mirror-of-princes books or royal advice books during the Middle Ages and Renaissance) believed that the use of political power was only rightful if it was exercised by a ruler whose personal moral character was strictly virtuous. Thus rulers were counseled that if they wanted to succeed—that is, if they desired a long and peaceful reign and aimed to pass their office down to their offspring—they must be sure to behave in accordance with conventional standards of ethical goodness. In a sense, it was thought that rulers did well when they did good; they earned the right to be obeyed and respected inasmuch as they showed themselves to be virtuous and morally upright.

It is precisely this moralistic view of authority that Machiavelli criticizes at length in  his best-known treatise, The Prince. For Machiavelli, there is no moral basis on which to judge the difference between legitimate and illegitimate uses of power. Rather, authority and power are essentially coequal: whoever has power has the right to command; but goodness does not ensure power and the good person has no more authority by virtue of being good. Thus, in direct opposition to a moralistic theory of politics, Machiavelli says that the only real concern of the political ruler is the acquisition and maintenance of power (although he talks less about power per se than about “maintaining the state.”) In this sense, Machiavelli presents a trenchant criticism of the concept of authority by arguing that the notion of legitimate rights of rulership adds nothing  to the actual possession of power. The Prince purports to reflect the self-conscious political realism of an author who is fully aware—on the basis of direct experience with the Florentine  government—that goodness and right are not sufficient to win and maintain political office. Machiavelli thus seeks to learn and teach the rules of political power. For Machiavelli, power characteristically defines political activity, and hence it is necessary for any successful ruler to know how power is to be used.  Only by means of the proper application of power, Machiavelli believes, can individuals be brought to obey and will the ruler be able to maintain the state in safety and security.”  (http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/machiavelli/

What implications did Machiavelli’s idea of the end justifying the means have for both Renaissance politicians and what implications for politicians today?

*Keep in mind that Machiavelli’s ultimate goal for any “prince” was to keep the state safe and secure.

Remember your paper must be a minimum of 800 double-spaced words of text, with in-text citations or footnotes.  You also need a cover page and a reference page.  Check the syllabus for specifics regarding the formatting of papers.

Discussion: Review of Current Healthcare Issues

If you were to ask 10 people what they believe to be the most significant issue facing healthcare today, you might get 10 different answers. Escalating costs? Regulation? Technology disruption?

These and many other topics are worthy of discussion. Not surprisingly, much has been said in the research, within the profession, and in the news about these topics. Whether they are issues of finance, quality, workload, or outcomes, there is no shortage of changes to be addressed.

In this Discussion, you examine a national healthcare issue and consider how that issue may impact your work setting. You also analyze how your organization has responded to this issue.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and select one current national healthcare issue/stressor to focus on.
  • Reflect on the current national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and think about how this issue/stressor may be addressed in your work setting.

 

Rubric

 

Answers all parts of the discussion question(s) expectations with reflective critical analysis and synthesis of knowledge gained from the course readings for the module and current credible sources.

 

Supported by at least three current, credible sources.

Nursing homework help

 

In many realms of medicine, objective diagnoses can be made: A clavicula is broken.  An infection is present. TSH levels meet the diagnostic criteria for hypothyroidism. Psychiatry, on the other hand, deals with psychological phenomena and behaviors. Can these, too, be “defined objectively and by scientific criteria (Gergen, 1985), or are they social constructions?” (Sadock et al., 2015).

Thanks to myriad advances during recent decades, we know that psychopathology is caused by many interacting factors. Theoretical and clinical contributions to the field have come from the neural sciences, genetics, psychology, and social-cultural sciences. How do these factors impact the expression, classification, diagnosis, and prevalence of psychopathology, and why might it be important for a nurse practitioner to take a multidimensional, integrative approach?

Consider how theoretical perspective on psychopathology impacts the work of the PMHNP.

Explain the biological (genetic and neuroscientific); psychological (behavioral and cognitive processes, emotional, developmental); and social, cultural, and interpersonal factors that influence the development of psychopathology.

2-3 paragraphs.
