We are about to watch the movie Interstellar in class. This movie, while fictional, shows many practical examples of special relativity concepts. Your task is to demonstrate how Interstellar connects to the concepts we discussed in our special relativity unit. You are to write a paper that illustrates these connections. Focus primarily on the science. The twin paradox is something we learned that was also in the movie so write about how Interstellar connects to the twin paradox.

Diabetes and Drug Treatments Diabetes is an endocrine system disorder that affects millions of children and adults (ADA, 2011).

If left untreated, diabetic patients are at risk for several alterations including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, neuropathy, and blindness. There are various methods for treating diabetes, many of which include some form of drug therapy. The type of diabetes as well as the patients behavior factors will impact treatment recommendations. In this Assignment, you compare types of diabetes including drug treatments for type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes. To prepare: Review this weeks media presentation on the endocrine system and diabetes, as well as Chapter 46 of the Arcangelo and Peterson text and the Peterson et al. article in the Learning Resources. Reflect on differences between types of diabetes including type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes. Select one type of diabetes. Consider one type of drug used to treat the type of diabetes you selected including proper preparation and administration of this drug. Then, reflect on dietary considerations related to treatment. Think about the short-term and long-term impact of the diabetes you selected on patients including effects of drug treatments. By Day 7 Write a 2- to 3- page paper that addresses the following: Explain the differences between types of diabetes including type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes. Describe one type of drug used to treat the type of diabetes you selected including proper preparation and administration of this drug. Include dietary considerations related to treatment. Explain the short-term and long-term impact of this diabetes on patients including effects of drugs treatments. Assign 8 Assignment: Antimicrobial Agents Antimicrobial agents are essential components in the treatment of various bacterial infections as they help to kill or prevent the growth of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and protozoans. Prior to the discovery of antimicrobial agents, treatment options for patients with bacterial infections were limited. For many patients, treatment often resulted in the amputation of limbs or even death. Today, treatment options for bacterial infections typically have a more positive prognosis. Due to the various types of infections presented in patients, it is essential to be able to identify the underlying cause of the infectionwhether bacterial or viralbefore recommending drug treatments. This will help you identify whether or not an antimicrobial agent would be appropriate and which specific agent would target the infection. In this Assignment, you consider the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents for infections. To prepare: Review this weeks media presentation on principles of antimicrobial therapy, as well as Chapter 8 of the Arcangelo and Peterson text. Consider the categories of antimicrobial agents. Think about differences between viral and bacterial infections. Reflect on why proper identification of the infection is key to selecting the proper antimicrobial agent. By Day 7 Write a 2- to 3- page paper that addresses the following: Describe the categories of antimicrobial agents. Describe differences between viral and bacterial infections. Explain why proper identification of viral and bacterial infections is key to selecting the proper antimicrobial agent
