Purpose
To calculate your personal RDA for protein. Most adults consume more than adequate amounts of protein for growth, repair and maintenance of the human body. There are some of us, however, that fall short of our daily intake. The roles of protein make it the MOST versatile of all the energy nutrients and also one of the most critical. It is always interesting to see how much protein you really need on a daily basis so this activity will let you write a menu to reflect meeting those protein needs. Don't go over board but be sure to meet the RDA. Most students are surprised how easily we do meet our protein recommendations.

Directions

  1. Using the adult recommendation of 0.8g/kg body weight, calculate your personal RDA for protein.
  2. Write a one day menu that would meet the protein requirement. List the food item, serving size, grams of protein/serving, and the total protein consumed for the day.
  3. Do you think the food selections are reflective of what you normally eat?

Case Discussion : Business Law :

Trindent Consulting International Inc. v. Logsdon, 2018 ONSC 1696 (CanLII) Trindent was incorporated in Wyoming, with its head office in Toronto. It had no physical operations in Wyoming. An Ontario corporation oversaw the management, human resources, and administrative functions of Trindent from its Toronto offices. Logsdon was a US citizen resident in Texas. Trindent made an offer of employment to Logsdon as a manager in its Toronto office. The salary was in US dollars. The governing law of the contract was the law of Ontario. There was no forum selection clause. Logsdon accepted the offer. He did not provide services to any clients located in Canada. His initial interview was in Toronto, where he also attended for training sessions and meetings with management. Logsdon resigned and sued Trindent in Texas for breach of the employment contract. Trindent filed a defence to that action and then commenced this action in Ontario, suing Logsdon for breach of the employment contract. Logsdon applied to stay the action, claiming Ontario was not a convenient forum. Did the Court stay the action? What factors did it consider in making its decision?

Choose one of the following topics to discuss pertaining to chapter 6 in Kandel's book. In addition to your chosen topic, comment on the statement below from Kandel's book.

"Mood disorders are brain diseases that afflict the integrity of the self-that collection of vital emotions, memories, beliefs, and behaviors that shapes each of us as a unique human being. It is precisely because of emotion's role in both our thinking and our feeling - and because we experience shifts in mood everyday- that we have such difficulty identifying and accepting a mood disturbance as potentially abnormal. That same difficulty helps explain why people with mood disorders are frequently stigmatized. To put it simply, despite advances in science and medicine, many people are still inclined to view mood disorders as a personal weakness, as bad behavior, rather than a set of illnesses."

1. How are depression and stress similar biochemical states? Why is this detrimental to the brain and body?

2. Discuss what is known about the neural circuits of depression.
