The most likely diagnosis
Based on the presentation and PE, what do you think is the most likely diagnosis?
The most likely diagnosis would be Basal cell carcinoma. The diagnosis was made because the bump occurred in an area that is usually exposed to the sun and its UV lights. Basal cell carcinoma is usually characterized by a waxy or pearly bump. The cancer is also characterized by bleeding that returns. To confirm the diagnosis, a skin biopsy is required for testing to determine if the skin has cancer.
Briefly discuss the guideline for sun exposure protection to decrease skin cancer.
The risk of skin cancer is increased with increased exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. The sun, though important for stress reduction and as a source of vitamin D, it is also a source of UV light. Although the amount of UV light is more during summer, it can occur all year round. The amount also varies during the day with the peak hours being around 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. There is a UV index that categorizes the different levels of UV. UV light amount can also be forecasted such that people can make arrangements about how to protect their skin from high levels of UV light. Usually, protection is required for UV light above 3 according to the UV index. There are various ways through which the skin can be protected from extreme exposure the first one being sheltering. Staying indoors or under a shelter limits the amount of UV light that reaches the skin. The type of clothing also affects the amount of UV light that reaches the skin. Usually, long-sleeved shirts and long skirts and pants offer more protection. On the other hand, dark-colored clothes also offer more protection than light-colored clothes. For additional safety especially when the UV light is elevated is to use hats and sunglasses. Additionally, different types of sunscreens could also protect from UV light.
Designing a website
Designing a website
Executive summary
The purpose of this redesign is to improve the initial design after running it through tests. The importance of the test was to discover areas of weaknesses, areas that had to be scrapped off and those that had to be added. It was a mere test to find out how the users would find the system’s navigation and to improve its organization (Warall&Siarto, 2009).
The website is supposed to be user-friendly. Users are meant to acquire the information they seek to get with ease in the shortest time possible. The users who had been chosen during these experiments provided good recommendations on the weaknesses of the systems and other sectors that needed redesigning.
Introduction
This is a site where people go find out about movies and series. It should be able to provide information to the users about the movies without any difficulties. The redesign goals include making the website more organized so that users can quickly locate what they are seeking, reducing the contents in the site so that users can have an easy time using it, and include tables and boxes to help in the organization of the information provided. With these redesigns in place, the users will have an easy time finding their information(Warall&Siarto, 2009).
Evaluators recruited
Three evaluators were recruited:
User 1: 33 year old male, married with three kids. He works full time and studies part time in community college. He is not a movie fan.
User 2: a 25 year old who is addicted to movies.
User 3: is wife having two boys. She is a graduate of UMBC with MA.
Problems encountered by evaluators
The site contains a lot of information right from the main page
There are boxes that users can reach for when researching
The navigation menu on the left is very small and practically unnoticeable
The primary index page of the website has poor picture loading speed
Organization of the information on the home page and priority allocation
Severe problem encountered by evaluators
The site contains a lot of information right from the main page and no boxes to help the user navigate swiftly
Possible solutions for the problems
The exhibits of the website should be improved vastly. The photo viewer delaying the photo loading should be moved to galleries and help congesting the main index.
The main page of the website should contain almost tables and boxes. The purpose of that is to allow a more interactive navigation system that will integrate a more ‘artistic’ sparkle. The redesign of the primary page should look like the other pages in terms of style and theme.
Incorporating main menu with better and bolder navigation will improve the user friendliness. The home page navigation should be minimized and a down-list menu should be incorporated.
This process is vital because it gives a reflection of the reaction of the people. The sampled individuals provided important information about the weaknesses of the site and pin-pointed the areas that need reconstruction. The process improves any site or system by eliminating small errors by correcting and running tests on it, again and again(Warall&Siarto, 2009).
Think aloud tables
Participants for the evaluation
User 1: 33 year old male, married with three kids. He works full time and studies part time in community college. He is not a movie fan.
User 2: a 25 year old who is addicted to movies.
User 3: is wife having two boys. She is a graduate of UMBC with MA.
Tasks the users performed
The users browsed the home page with the purpose of finding something interesting.
The user clicked on the menu list on the home page
The user browsed the home page and waited for home page picture to load
Reasons for focusing on these tasks
The navigation task is the most important part of the website. Without proper navigation during website browsing, information location will be stressful and thus demoralize the user from pursuing further use.
The down menu task is vital because it provides the user with options on what he or she wants to have done
Since the final think aloud was conducted, the site has improved tremendously. The corrections about the home page, the photo viewer, the navigation, and the down menu list have been carried out. The site is now more user friendly and information access is very fast(Warall&Siarto, 2009).
Reflection and recommendations
The exercise of putting the website on test after making implementation has boosted the website navigations system and information organization. The people chosen throughout the website’s experiment posed as a great deal of help and their opinions were deeply considered.
The website needs to go through other scrutinizing processes that would include the indulgence of experts, other web designers and a huge number of test users. With this type of exposure, the common and obvious mistakes will be eliminated and ideas from other web designers and experts will be incorporated.

Introduction
“The most important thing is not life, but the good life” is a statement that says life is not the most important thing, instead it is living your life with meaning and purpose. Perhaps living a life that is just in society would make my life worth living, but if we do not have a purpose to our lives then we will just be mere physical bodies, having no soul and therefore no meaning. In Greek mythology, Socrates was pointed out as having a good life, and his death was because of how important he thought the most important thing in life was (Corlett, 2018). This essay will investigate and find out what made Socrates’ good life so special. It will also explore why this statement is true. If you live your life with meaning and purpose, then your life is worth living because it gives you a reason to keep be alive.
Argument supporting the thesis
Thesis statement: If you live your life with meaning and purpose, then your life is worth living because it gives you a reason to keep be alive. Socrates refused to make decisions himself, however he would rather ask somebody else who could make a better decision than him. It is because of this, that one day Socrates would shortly question what it is that makes life so special anyway? “The most important thing is not life, but the good life”. Socrates believed that if you lead your life with purpose and meaning then you were living the good life. He had the ‘Golden Mean’ theory. This theory is one where a person chooses to be morally and ethically good rather than being bad (Corlett, 2018). Socrates believed that this was the best way to do things because it was considered a golden mean where there is no excess or deficiency in good morals. This is always going to be right because it has no excess or deficiency of virtues, therefore it can never end up being wrong in any situation.
Assessment of objections
There are many objections that can be raised against this argument. One is that if we all lived the good life we would have no progression in society. This is because everyone would be too busy doing good to do anything else, therefore nothing would be done. If everybody did what was right and proper then it would not result in any harm because there will be no excess or deficiency of virtues, therefore nothing will ever go wrong. However, it could lead to a breakdown of society because people just do not want to do what is morally good anymore and always want more things.
Conclusion
Socrates believed that the most important thing in life is knowledge, which means that there are a lot more things in life that are of consequence than just one’s physical health. Knowledge is a matter of inquiry, which means it has to be investigated by way of searching. It is of utmost importance to one’s good life (Vallor, 2018). In order to properly understand Socrates’ theory, one must first comprehend what he means by “good”. He is saying that if a person knows what they are doing, and they do it as a service to others or themselves as a result of doing what they want, then they are achieving the good life.Reference
