Continuum of substance use and abuse
This activity is designed for you to explore the continuum of an addictive behavior of your choice.
Addictive behavior appears in stages. The earliest stage is non-use, which finally leads up to out-of-control dependence. The stages in between are important to identify, as it is much easier to correct an early-stage issue as opposed to a late-stage problem.
After reviewing the module readings and tasks, use the module notes as a reference and alcohol or substance abuse addiction as an example to identify the various levels of addiction.
Outline the continuum of use from non-use to dependence (addiction). Give specific examples of behaviors at each of the levels of use.
You may choose to develop a time line identifying the stages or develop a written essay (no more than 500 words in Word format) to describe the escalation of addictive behaviors.
You are to include at least two references from academic sources that you have researched on this topic in the Excelsior College Library and use appropriate citations in American Psychological Association (APA) style.

Week 3 | CPSS395 Program Facilitation Skills | University of Phoenix
All good interviews and interactions require preparation. This week you learned more about how to ask interview questions. Open-ended questions give both you and your client a chance to exchange more information and leave responses open to the clients needs and agenda. Closed questions make it difficult to learn further information, but they can be helpful if you only want very specific information. Once you ask a question, you want to actively listen to their answer. Active listening includes paraphrasing or responding back to what they said so that both parties can determine that the communication was successful. You want to be sure that you are hearing and understanding what your client is saying.
Navigate to the University Library and watch the Bennie Reed: Interview video.

1 a neutron star is formed when an object like the sun collapses.
1 a neutron star is formed when an object like the sun collapses. Suppose a uniform spherical star of mass M and radius R collapses to a uniform sphere of radius 10^-5 R. If the original star has a rotation rate of 1 rev each 25 days, (like the sun) what will be the rotation rate of the neutron star? WHY? Please give detailed explanation for BOTH questions. ——–
#2 a large horizontal disk is rotating on a vertical axis through its center; for the disk I = 4000 kg m^2. The disk is coasting at a rate of .150 rev/s when a 90 kg person drops onto the disk from an overhanging tree limb. The person lands and remains at a distance of 3 m from the axis of rotation. What will be the rate of rotation after the person has landed

A healthy immune system discussion
The immune system is a critical body system tasked with defending the body from infection. Many factors contribute to a healthy immune system, such as engaging in healthy levels of activity, eating a diet of nutrient-dense foods, and implementing various effective stress management strategies.

What are some daily habits that can help support a healthy immune system? What are some ways the cardiovascular system works to support a healthy immune system (hint: think about cells of the immune system and how they might get to the places where they are needed)?
List examples of any preventative health care strategies or interventions that can boost the function of the immune system and explain how they influence the immune system. How important do you think stress management is in maintaining a healthy state, and is there anything you do to mitigate its effects in your own life?
Introduction to criminology victim precipitation theory
Victim Precipitation Theory
Victim Precipitation Theory discusses how a victim can actively or passively play a role in the crime itself. Conduct an internet search for a current (less than two years old) case or article about a crime victim. In a well-constructed, one page essay (500+ words), discuss how the victim either actively or passively participated in the crime.
(NOTE: A well-constructed essay will be in complete sentences and paragraphs. It will be structured to include an introduction, body, and conclusion. While APA references and citations are not required for this course, they are strongly suggested since they will be required in future courses. Also, you must at least attempt to provide citation and reference information for any specific information that you use that is not your own thoughts in order to avoid plagiarism.)
