Congratulations on your new job in the Major League Lacrosse (MLL) front office. The league currently has 8 teams in the US and Canada, located mainly on the East Coast. This budding league is busy trying to find a team west of the Mississippi to help the Denver Outlaws find a rival. They could move a current team west or they could add an additional team. (d.) Some of the teams have talked about disbanding the league and just operating as independent teams. How can you convince them that leagues are important? Give 3 examples of things that individual owners CANNOT do by themselves, but leagues can accomplish? Name 3 things owners COULD do, but they do better as a league?

I need Paraphrase:

Mental health is an integral and essential component of health.
The WHO constitution states: "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

Mental health is fundamental to our collective and individual ability as humans to think, emote, interact with each other, earn a living and enjoy life. On this basis, the promotion, protection and restoration of mental health can be regarded as a vital concern of individuals, communities and societies throughout the world.

1. Causes

There is no single cause for mental health disorders; instead, they can be caused by

a mixture of biological, psychological and environmental factors.

People who have a family history of mental health disorders may be more prone to developing one at some point.

Changes in brain chemistry from substance abuse or changes in diet can also cause mental disorders.

Psychological factors and environmental factors such as upbringing and social exposure can form the foundations for harmful thought patterns associated with mental disorders.

Only a certified mental health professional can provide an accurate diagnosis of the causes of a given disorder.

John Wayne Like many others, the famous actor John Wayne died of cancer. But is there more to this story? In 1955, Wayne was in Utah shooting the film The Conquerer. Across the state line, in Nevada, the US military was testing atomic bombs. Radioactive fallout from those tests drifted across the filming location. A total of 46 of the 220 people working on the film eventually died of cancer.The death rate from cancer in that era was about 14% (0.14). A question is whether the death rate in the crew was unusually high. a. (1 mark) What are the hypotheses? b. Assuming this is a random sample of people who are exposed to this level of fallout, calculate a 95% confidence interval for the cancer rate. c. Calculate the P-value for testing whether the death rate was unusually high. d. Is there strong evidence that it is unusually high? Use the confidence interval and P-value to justify your conclusion.

1. [Public key revocation procedure] Suppose that a certain authority is running a (publicly accessible) database of users’ public keys. Let us define the following procedure for revoking a public key from the database. When a user Bob claims that the secret key sk_B corresponding to his public key pk_B was stolen, he sends to the authority the statement “Revoke Bob’s public key pk_B”
   which is signed using sk_B . Upon receiving such the statement, the authority revokes pk_B from the database.

Explain why it is not necessary for the authority to check Bob’s identity in this case.
In particular, explain why it is not a problem that an adversary who has stolen Bob’s secret key sk_B can forge signatures for this key.

Hint: Consider the following two cases:

1) Bob’s secret key sk_B was not stolen;

2) Bob’s secret key sk_B was stolen.

Chapter Case: Campus Bikes

Campus Bikes is a popular bicycle shop located near a major university. The business has grown and the owner, Mark Turner, wants to install an up-to-date computer system to handle all business functions.

Background
Campus Bikes sells several brands of new bikes, including everything from high-end racing models to beach cruisers. In addition to sales of new bikes and accessories, Mark’s service department is always busy. The staff includes Mark himself, a bookkeeper, two part-time sales reps, a full-time mechanic, and several part-time service helpers who assemble bikes.

Before opening the shop three years ago, Mark worked for many years in his father’s auto dealership, Turner Motors, and he learned all about the automobile business. In the bike shop, he runs a similar operation, but on a much smaller scale. For example, sales orders are recorded on pre-printed forms, and service requests are written up just as they would be in an auto service department.

Mark’s customers find him fair and reasonable. He likes to say that the main difference between his business and a big-box retailer is that he knows his customers and will do whatever it takes to keep them happy.

You work at the college as a lab assistant in the computer information department. You earned a computer science degree at a two-year school, and you recently decided to work toward your four-degree. The computer lab manager, Jill, often suggests that local businesses contact you for help in troubleshooting IT issues.

This morning, you received a call from Mark, who wants to hire you as a consultant to help plan a system for Campus Bikes. You learned that Jill had referred him, and you are excited to have this opportunity. It probably didn’t hurt that both you and Jill had bought bikes from Mark, and already knew him. After spending several weekends talking with Mark and the staff, you are ready to start. You decide to use an object-oriented approach that will be easy to understand.

Tasks
1. List possible objects in the new bike shop system, including their attributes and methods. Do not draw a diagram for this. Just a three column list will be appropriate.
2. Identify three possible use cases and actors.
3. Create a use case diagram that shows how service requests are handled. This diagram should be drawn similar to Figure 6-16 on page 189 of the text. Be sure to use the actors and use cases appropriate for this case as detailed above.
4. Create a state transition diagram that describes typical customer states and how they change based on specific actions and events. You can find an example of a state transition diagram in Figure 6-21 on page 192 of the text.

Case Study: Phoebe Tate, 53 year old who suffers from migraine headaches. She has had these all her life, and has seen neurologists off and on for management of her headaches. Lately, her headaches have interfered with her being able to work at her 10 hour a day job practicing law. Her BMI is 30, and she is a nonsmoker with no alcohol use. She has no speech deficits and is able to exercise, though headaches have recently caused her to need more sleep. Discuss your approach as a: registered nurse, physician, pharmacist, nutritionist, social worker, physical therapist, and speech therapist. (Note: some members of multidisciplinary team may not apply to all cases-consider each case separately to determine individual needs.)

Urinary System Review Questions
