Obama is driving in his car and suddenly his car starts to make a weird sound:
Obama: “Oh no! The muffler sounds bad… What if I have to take it to the maintenance shop?... I can’t afford the expense… I’d have to draw the money from Jamie’s college fund… What if I can’t afford his tuition?... That bad school report last week… What if his grades go down and he can’t get into college?...Muffler sounds bad…”
… And so Obama’s worrying mind spins on in an endless loop of ruminating thoughts, and it’s causing him lots of negative emotions.

I would like to see a PowerShell script(for purely inspirational work to use as an inspiration for helping to develop my skills as a hobby.
*** This should all be done in a loop **
Before beginning, You will need a simple text file with three weeks of scores between Michigan and Michigan State. Example:
UM21, MSU 14
UM28, MSU 35,
UM14, MSU 3
1) Then I need a loop that reads in the attached text file
2) Read the scores by school and determine if MSU or Michigan won or lost
3) - if the wolverines win, have user put the score into the win file (win.txt)
** UM win over MSU55-10 **
- if the wolverines encounter a loss, put the score in the loss file (loss.txt)
** wolverines lose to spartans 24-17 **
NOTE: the permission must be changed on the file in order to write to it
*** the file permission switching must be done in separate script ***
4) please zip contents of wolverines and sparty directories

Case Study There two sets of questions for this module, 1-4 and 5-8, for a total of eight questions. Using the concept of the epidemiological triangle to complete one of the following case studies: John J. is a school nurse at Jackson Elementary School, which was built in 1960. Nurse John has noticed that many students from Ms. Zee’s second grade class have come to the clinic complaining about coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. Nurse John has also observed that Steven Tea, the only asthmatic student in Ms. Zee’s class, has had more asthma attacks this year than he did last year. Because the rest of the school is not experiencing the same respiratory problems, Nurse John is concerned that something in Ms. Zee’s classroom is causing students to feel ill. Nurse John decides to visit Ms. Zee’s classroom. Upon entering the classroom, one of the few located in the school’s basement, John is struck by the powerful musty smell that inhabits the room. While talking to Ms. Zee, John learns that the classroom has “smelled bad for years,” and that students from previous years have complained about respiratory problems. Nurse John notes that Ms. Zee has stuffed a blanket at the base of the classroom’s small rectangular window near the ceiling because the window does not close completely. John suspects that Ms. Zee’s classroom walls are contaminated with mold. Upon further research, Nurse John learns that if water gets between the exterior and the interior of a building’s wall, mold can grow in the moist environment. This situation can occur as the result of construction defects in the building (e.g., leaky windows). Nurse John also learns that people who are exposed to extensive mold growth may experience allergic reactions, such as hay fever-like allergy symptoms, and that people who already have a chronic respiratory disease, such as asthma, may have trouble breathing when exposed to mold. Nurse John is concerned about the possible mold contamination effect on his asthmatic student, Steven.
1. Identify the agent, host, and environment in this case study, and describe how they interacted to bring about the occurrence of disease.
2. Is the mold contamination in Ms. Zee’s room a point-source pollutant or a non–point-source pollutant?
3. What can Nurse John do to learn more about indoor air quality (IAQ) and about what to do in case of mold?
4. What are some possible interventions that Nurse John could apply to address the mold contamination in Ms. Zee’s room?
This information is related to the primary care provider who orders a blood lead level, which comes back at 45 mcg/dL. On further investigation you discover that Billy’s home was built before 1950. At that time the home is tested, and the dust shows high lead levels. Due to Billy’s age and associated behaviors, such as hand to mouth activities, you determine that the lead dust in the home is a probable exposure, and that Billy should not return to the home. You must also consider multiple sources of exposures.
5.What other sources of exposure might exist?
6.What would you include in an assessment of this situation?
7.What prevention strategies would you use to resolve this issue? At the individual level? The population levels?

Linda Grabeck did not have an athletic scholarship, there simply weren't enough scholarships to go around. Until the NCAA relaxed the rules and allowed you to come up with more scholarships, that was the way it had to be.
When you spoke to Linda about your concerns, she was very open about her part-time job. She indicated that, of course, college was very expensive. Tuition and fees were high and the cost of books and other materials grew more expensive each year. Certainly jobs were available such as working at one of the many burger joints in the area. But Linda told you that she could make as much in a single night of nude dancing as she could make in a whole week of flipping burgers, She asked how people knew that she was a Carver State athlete because she never wore any clothing at the club to connect her to the university or the track team.
You assured her that these things had a way of getting around, and that some of the school's baseball players had been in the club and noticed her. Linda said it seemed unfair that the ballplayers had worn their Carver State caps and sweatshirts to the establishment and she was the one getting called in on the carpet. You said that may be true, but that was a different issue that someone else would have to deal with.
So that was her side of the story. Linda Grabeck was an exotic dancer but she was not trying to use her position as a member of the track team in any way to her advantage. She saw it as a simple case of economics. She needed the money for school and this was the best way to make it. Besides, as she commented, “A lot of college students do this." She went on to say that her job was part of her private life and on her own time. She was not an 18 year-old freshman. She was a young adult who was capable of weighing the advantages and disadvantages of working in an all-nude club. Furthermore, Linda suggested that there might be a double standard at the school if it was acceptable for male athletes to visit a strip club but not acceptable for female athletes to work there.
However, there were other serious issues that you could not ignore. Not only did you have a responsibility to Linda, you had a responsibility to the university, other members of the track team, and yourself. Carver State had a particular image that it had earned over the years. This was an institution that cared about its students. Parents liked the idea of sending their sons and daughters to a school that was reasonably conservative and fairly safe. That image would be harmed if people knew that the school's athletes were working as strippers in the local bars, You wondered how you would respond to the parents of a young woman you were recruiting if they asked about a member of the track team who worked as a stripper

ethical?
• At what point in the chain of problems and symptoms can you effectively
intervene?

team and continue her chosen employment (long- and short-term)?
• To whom do you owe an obligation in this situation?

>> Like again, I told you my name is Tynesha. I got a lot of stuff to say about me, but you know, I don't know if you're going to be really interested or not. But I know I need to come here. I need something. I got two kids. My dude is at home. He's back again. He left. He comes back. He's in and out. He won't work. And I just want him there for the kids. I don't, I don't know how he sit around all day playing video games and not really helping me. I'm in nursing school. I'm trying to get my degree. My grades ain't what they supposed to be. They could be better, but they ain't because of him. He's always fussing. I can't even get my homework done. I can't get nothing done. And then everybody on me, you know, I got to work. I got to have all the money for the house. I got to take care of the kids. I got to leave work to take them to their appointments. And how much of that are they going to take before they fire me? I don't know. My friends, they help me. But they tired. They're getting tired of helping me because they say what's the point? Why is he there? He's there, and he ain't doing nothing. And you just keep taking him back, but then you ask us for our help. And I don't blame them. I know why they mad. Because they know I could do better. I'm going to nursing school. I was getting good grades. I was on the Dean's list every semester. And now here I am almost flunking. That ain't me. That ain't me. I can't keep doing this. I want my kids to have stuff. I want them to see better. I don't want them to grow up like I did in the projects or in these community apartments and watching people get shot or selling drugs. I want stuff for my family. That ain't what I want. I got to do something though because the kids, they're starting to act out at school. The teacher's calling me. They fighting with other kids. And I know what it is. You know, I know what it is. But I don't want all them people in my business. You know, but pretty soon I told him they going to be calling CSB that child protective thing or something, and then I'm going to be in trouble. Now what if they take my kids? I can't keep doing this. I can't.
>> After seeing Tynesha and haring her story, prepare a response to her using three specific listening skills. These are psycho-education or information giving, self-disclosure, and immediacy.
Questions:
1. Think about what you know about Tynesha's family, including her children and her partner. What additional information might be helpful?
2. What are some of the challenges involved in gathering information about family relationships when you are only speaking to one individual?
3. How could you adapt the genogram to working with a single client? What would be missing? Think beyond the simple lack of others' views and consider the dynamics.
4. At what point might you want to consider involving Tynesha's partner in counseling?
