Nutrition Over-the-counter medicines (OTC) are medicines that you can buy without medical prescription. Dietary supplements include vitamins, minerals, and herms, which come as pills and capsules (Peraza, J. E. 2017). Supplements play an essential role in the health system like strengthening bones and preventing congenital disabilities hence significant to differentiate supplements from OTC. Caffeine is the only recommended dose of Dexatrim product that is allowed in OTC products. It has a short term stimulatory effect on basal metabolism, though more effective in the promotion of weight losses compared to other OTC stimulants (Hart & Ksir, 2018).  Caffeine side effects include anxiety, headache, and diarrhea and may cause a heartbeat. Before the consumption of any medication, consumers should be aware of its ingredients and side effects. Cold symptom relief has active ingredients, which are: Analgesics.

Literature Review: SENIOR SEMINAR IN HOMELAND SECURITY LITERATURE REVIEW Bergen et al. (2017) examines the United States’ declining jihadist threat. The authors argue that ISIS has gradually grown weaker and unable to stage attacks against the US. At the same time, the country had witnessed a declining number of terrorism-related cases since the year 2015, when it recorded a peak in such instances (Bergen et al., 2017). Amidst these declines, security departments must remain vigilant and cautious because the nature of threat does not appear to change significantly.  The role of homegrown extremism and thus, terrorism, seems to replace that of foreign attackers. In that manner, the US still faces an unchanging terror threat. However, this transformation cannot steal the credit owed to security departments and the entire governance for its unrelenting performance in combating terrorism. The substantial investments, awareness, and preparedness of the government reveal a nation with a deep determination for the safety of its citizens. Bergen et al. (2017) maintain that fewer-than-forecasted Americans have died from jihadist-propagated attacks since the 9/11 incident. The authors argue that although…

“Do violent video games contribute to gun violence? Introduction Children have always been playing games related to violence ever since it introduced. An example of games they have been playing is cowboys vs. Indians, war games, superheroes vs. villains; police vs. criminals, star wars games, and the list is endless. All these games involve, shooting, and fighting. Nevertheless, through children playing violence, during their playing time, a whole new level was brought up, especially after the invention of video games got into the picture. The small boys no longer want a new plastic gun as birthday gifts, they actually want, video games that mostly involve the killing of virtual characters. They want their new video games to be rougher, and they seem to be enjoying it more. This has brought many researchers to try and understand the dilemma’s solutions. Therefore, do violent games encourage these children to be more violent? According to John Riccitiello, the CEO of Electronic Arts, through the high amount of research done, has dominated over the purpose of link findings between the entertainment content, and actual…

Reflection on my literacy journey Four years in an English class at Dunham college entails eight semesters. As I sit down to answer the question of what the six semesters translates into my writing development, the sequence of the natural progression is revived. My prior writing styles dodged around topics that I could fully comprehend. The experiences in Dunham however majorly involved ideas upon which I didn’t have a hint. I could barely sit down and write upon an idea without taking a break off my mind. Progressively, I would get on an idea and formulate a rough draft. Ideas would eventually catch up on my nerves far from the assignment desk. Disclosures would ensue in momentum between slip and rise, between stitches and cleave, between stick and lacerate. Several of the astounding thoughts would get out hand even before I note them down; others would underpin my piece work. Conclusively Dunham English department has not only been a notional source of embarrassment but more profoundly a source of vital nourishment for the growth and development as a writer. It would…

To meet organizational short and long-term goals, leaders and managers should use a step by step approach to arrive at efficient, thoughtful, and informed decisions. According to Hussung (2017), effective decision making is made up of seven components, which include; First, the leader should identify the decision. In this component, the leader or manager recognizes the opportunity or problem to address and the rationale for addressing the particular issue.

In this component, the leader or manager makes a value judgment and determines what information is relevant for the…

The debate of democratisation in the Middle East Introduction As current events have established, one of the most widespread phenomena of the Arab’s states is the resilience and persistence of its undemocratic government. Current regimes in these nations reveal an essential paradox despite the fact they have encountered only limited challenges from their societies despite the blatantly poor performance of the economic and social elite and their poor performance. Outside the Gulf region, unemployment, illiteracy levels, poverty rates in the rest of these Arab nations are very high. At the same time, public service standards in essential sectors like schools and university education, social and health for low-earning workers, the elderly and the poor plumbed to new heights. These authoritarian governments are still failing to stop rampant corruption, abuse of public office, nepotism, even though there is a complete absence of accountability and transparence-principles which ought to oversee the performance of the private and public sectors. The debate of democratisation in the Middle East These nations face autocratic regimes that no legitimacy in any real development sense and bear no…

Annotated Bibliography of Jadidism Kemper, M., & Shikhaliev, S. (2015). Qadimism and Jadidism in Twentieth-Century Daghestan. Asiatische Studien-Études Asiatiques, 69(3), 593-624.

In the Soviet period, pedagogy remained an essential aspect of teaching both vernacular and transmission of Arabic among the intellectuals and scholars in Daghestan. They also argued the Soviet-era used traditional systems “Qadimism alongside Jadidism and that the first Islamic schools used both approaches. The authors also compared Daghestan with Central Asia in the context of Jadidism. They also examined the continued interaction of both teaching methods using the longitudinal approach spanning through the twentieth century. The authors explore a mixture of Qadim and Jadid used in developing a new teaching methodology. For instance, the authors describe the application of a mixed teaching system at the Russian Daghestani Islamic universities. The article also describes the conservation of Qadim, also referred to as traditional Isla and portrays the common legal and moral characteristics in both approaches besides secular…
