    For this project, the challenge is relaxation/meditation! Many of you may find it helpful to download a free app to help with this. Here are a couple: Insight Timer; The Mindfulness App, Relax Now; Smiling Mind; Stop, Breathe, Think (don’t choose the paid option); UCLA Mindful. They should all be available for free on the Apple Store or Google Play. I have not used these, but they come recommended as some of the best free apps. If you are new to meditation, apps can help. If you already use meditation, an app may not be necessary. However, you do NOT need to pay for an app to complete this exercise. Choose something free, and don’t get stressed over it!
    You need to practice relaxation/meditation for 3-4 times each week, spending about 5 minutes at a time, for two weeks. Keep a journal of your sessions, noting where, when, how long, degree of success, and how you felt afterwards.
    At the end of two weeks, write a 1-2 page report on your sessions. What did you experience? What challenges did you experience in practicing relaxation? How might relaxation sessions help an athlete or someone else achieve improved performance? Due Mar. 6 by midnight.
    Format for Reports
    All written projects must follow APA format. Documents should have 1-inch margins and be double-spaced. They should have a title page, but an abstract is not necessary. All mini projects should have the following sections: Introduction, methodology, results, and discussion/conclusions. The purpose of the project should be included in the introduction along with briefly introducing what project you did for meditation/relaxation. The methodology describes exactly what you did so that someone else could replicate your project using your description. Did you meditate in the same place and at the same time each session? Did you vary the time of the sessions? Did you use an app? Did you change the prompts you listened to? The results section contains your analysis of your data and a reporting on the results of your project. What did you experience? The discussion/conclusion contains what you learned from doing the project. What challenges or problems did you experience? How might relaxation sessions help an athlete or someone else achieve improved performance? Include all data sheets with your projects. You can copy/paste at the end of the report.

    For this assignment, you will be tasked with selecting ONE country of your interest from the GBD Compare website (https://vizhub.healthdata.org/gbd-compare/) to generate an understanding of the burden of disease and risk factors for your selected nation.
    Your goal is to highlight the disease burdens and key risk factors in your selected country. As a representative from your selected nation’s Ministry of Health, your task is to write a report for the newly elected President/Prime Minister/Leader of the country, directing their attention to the disease burdens you believe to be most impactful on the country. The President/Prime Minister/Leader will soon be attending a meeting at the World Bank, where they will be providing a short presentation on the disease burden within the country and requesting financial support for addressing the diseases you recommend are the most burdensome and able to be addressed in cost-effective ways.
    When preparing your report, some questions that are helpful to consider include:
    Which diseases are most prevalent?
    Among whom – (thinking about the burden of disease by sex and age)
    How does the burden of deaths differ from the burden of DALYs among different groups?
    What are the key risk factors among different groups for the burden of disease?
    Broadly speaking, what appear to be the burdens that should be addressed as the highest priorities
    Assignment Specifics:
    You can write this as a formal letter, a report, a press release, whatever you prefer

    Discussion Topic- Marriage and the Family
    DISCUSSION IN NO LESS THAN 200 WORDS
    Love is a difficult concept for many. Some mistake or confuse love with a physical attraction or infatuation. As a child, I recall a rhyme: Love is like a pot of gold, hard to find and hard to hold”. Interesting thought.
    Read the Wikipedia definition of love. Go to the Wikipedia home page and type in the word “love” in Wikipedia.
    Based on the various aspects you are presented with, in your opinion, what is important and how does it fit in with your understanding or concept of love?
    State your experience of love, then explain how it fits in with Wikipedia’s versions of love.
    Feel free to use all other references to support your thoughts and arguments, respectively.

    Students will be required to engage in two “Exploration Experiences” during the semester. The experiences will be yours to choose. Some options include interviewing a friend or loved one who breaks gender roles in some way, watching a movie about gender non-conformity (Mrs. America, French Girl, Moonlight, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, etc.), interviewing a health professional that works in gender-affirming care such as a psychologist or surgeon, volunteering for a local LGBTQ+ organization, attend an LGBTQ+ event run by a local church, etc. After each experience you will write a 1-page reflection about the experience. You will want to relate the experience to topics addressed in the reading and/or that we have discussed in class. For example you could discuss what learned about the nature and nurture of gender identity, or how your empathy has grown for an experience of gender that is different from yours, if your opinions about a certain aspect of gender has shifted because of your experience, etc. You will need to run your ideas by me and receive approval before you complete this assignment!
