Leslie was employed at a nail salon for 15 years before it went out of business. She called Nail Temp, a local temp specializing in beauty and salon services. On June 14, 2000, Nail Temp placed Nancy at a local salon called Nail Perfection. Nancy worked 40 hours a week and started making great friends at Nail Perfection. She loved their new ergonomic chairs and was happy to use all the latest cosmetics that Nail perfection provided. Every week, she would stop by Nail Temp on the way home to pick up her paycheck. Leslie was thrilled. Despite Leslie’s success at work, however, she struggled at home. Her adopted daughter Wendy always managed to date the wrong men and developed a drug problem. On April 20, 2001, Wendy had a baby boy, Rudy. One morning in May 2001, Wendy dropped Rudy off with Leslie and promptly took off with her latest beau. Leslie provided for Rudy from the time he was 1 month old. He lived in her house and she provided his meals and his care. Wendy occasionally contributed to his support, and came by about once a month for a visit. In January of 2003, Leslie was offered a full-time position at Nail Perfection. Her boss broke the good news by saying, “Great news! No need to drop by the old temp agency anymore – you are one of us now!” In April of that same year, Rudy fell down and broke both arms and both legs. With so many casts, Rudy required full-time care. Leslie requested FMLA leave to take care of her grandson. When she asked her boss, he said, “Ooooh- wish we could help. But since you have only worked here for 3 months, we don’t have to provide FMLA.” When Leslie protested, he said, “Honestly, Leslie, I’m sorry, but I can’t help you. Besides you can’t take leave for him because he is not your real son and your daughter was adopted! No way I have to give you FMLA leave.” Leslie was frustrated. She contacts you to help her out. Please discuss any arguments Leslie should make to support her FMLA claim. .

LMP1 IO and Filesystems=========================Welcome .docx
LMP1: I/O and Filesystems
=========================
Welcome to LMP1, the first long MP. LMP1 is the first stage of a project aimed
at creating a simple yet functional networked filesystem. In this MP, you will
learn about and use POSIX file system calls, while subsequent LMPs will
introduce memory management, messaging, and networking functionality. If you
implement all parts of this MP correctly, you will be able to reuse your code
for future MPs.
This first LMP concentrates on the file I/O portion of the project.
Specifically, you will implement a custom filesystem and test its performance
using a filesystem benchmark. A benchmark is an application used to test the
performance of some aspect of the system. We will be using Bonnie, a real
filesystem benchmark, to test various performance aspects of the filesystem we
implement.
LMP1 consists of four steps:
1. Read the code; run the Bonnie benchmark and the LMP1 test suite.
2. Implement Test Suite 1 functionality, encompassing basic file I/O operations.
3. Implement Test Suite 2-4 functionality (directory operations, file
creation/deletion, and recursive checksumming).
4. Modify Bonnie to use your client-server file I/O methods.
Code structure
--------------
The code for this project is structured according to the client-server
model. The client code (filesystem benchmark) will interact with the
server (filesystem) only through interface functions defined in
fileio.h:
int file_read(char *path, int offset, void *buffer, size_t bufbytes);
int file_info(char *path, void *buffer, size_t bufbytes);
int file_write(char *path, int offset, void *buffer, size_t bufbytes);
int file_create(char *path,char *pattern, int repeatcount);
int file_remove(char *path);
int dir_create(char *path);
int dir_list(char *path,void *buffer, size_t bufbytes);
int file_checksum(char *path);
int dir_checksum(char *path);
These functions represent a simple interface to our filesystem. In Steps 2 and
3 of this MP, you will write the code for functions implementing this interface,
replacing the stub code in fileio.c. In Step 4, you will modify a Bonnie method
to use this interface, rather than calling the normal POSIX I/O functions
directly. The purpose of Step 4 is to help test our implementation.
Step 1: Understanding the code
------------------------------
1. Compile the project, execute Bonnie and the test framework.
Note: you may need to add execute permissions to the .sh files using
the command "chmod +x *.sh".
Try the following:
make
./lmp1
(this runs the Bonnie benchmark - it may take a little while)
./lmp1 -test suite1
(run Test Suite 1 - this has to work for stage1)
make test
(run all tests - this has to work for stage2)
2. Read through the provided .c and .h files and understand how this
project is organized:
bonnie.c - a version of the filesystem benchmark
fileio.c - file I/O functions to be implemented
fileio.h - declaration o.

Livy, History of Rome 3.44-55
44. [What is Appius' plot to get access to Verginia?]
This [episode in which the decemviri plotted the murder of Siccius, a military
commander who had been encouraging resistance to the decemviri] was followed by
a second atrocity, the result of brutal lust, which occurred in the City and led to
consequences no less tragic than the outrage and death of Lucretia, which had
brought about the expulsion of Tarquinius Superbus. Not only was the end of the
decemvirs the same as that of the kings, but the cause of their losing their power
was the same in each case. [2] Appius Claudius had conceived a guilty passion
for a girl of plebeian birth. The girl's father, L. Verginius, held a high rank in the
army on Algidus; he was a man of exemplary character both at home and in the field.
[3] His wife had been brought up on equally high principles, and their children were
being brought up in the same way. He had betrothed his daughter to Lucius Icilius,
who had been tribune, an active and energetic man whose courage had been proved
in his battles for the plebs. [4] This girl, now in the bloom of her youth and beauty,
excited Appius' passions, and he tried to prevail on her by presents and promises.
When he found that her virtue was proof against all temptation, he had recourse to
unscrupulous and brutal violence. [5] He commissioned a client, Marcus
Claudius, to claim the girl as his slave, and to bar any claim on the part of her
friends to retain possession of her till the case was tried, as he thought that the
father's absence afforded a good opportunity for this illegal action. [in Roman law at
this time the person was presumed to be free until the claim of slavery was proved in
court] [6] As the girl was going to her school in the Forum —the grammar schools
were held in booths there —the decemvir's pander [minister libidinis, literally
'assistant of lust'] laid his hand upon her, declaring that she was the daughter of a
slave of his, and a slave herself. [7] He then ordered her to follow him, and
threatened, if she hesitated, to carry her off by force. While the girl was stupefied
with terror, her maid's shrieks, invoking ‘the protection of the Quirites,’ [=
'assemblymen of Rome, citizens, supposedly from the roots co+vir men together]
drew a crowd together. The names of her father Verginius and her betrothed lover,
Icilius, were held in universal respect. [8] Regard for them brought their friends,
feelings of indignation brought the crowd to the maiden's support. She was now safe
from violence; the man who claimed her said that he was proceeding according to
law, not by violence, there was no need for any excited gathering. [9] He summoned
the girl into court. Her supporters advised her to follow him; they came before the
tribunal of Appius. The claimant repeated a story already perfectly familiar to the
judge as he was the author of the plot, how the girl had been born.

Rough draft - Afrocentricity
Also known as Afrocentric, Afrocentricity is the study of the history of the world that focuses on the history of the current African descent. Afrocentricity refers to an African initiative culture that attempts to bring Africa to the center of the whole thing. This is regarding everything that began in Africa yet comprehensively; they are said to be Africa-American based. Furthermore, Afrocentricity has been employed significantly to scholarly work where Africans need acknowledgment as they are the ones putting effort on the works coming from Africa. Similarly, the fact that they have a broad scope of masterminds who are capable and have had the option to think of scholarly work, Afrocentricity at its most straightforward attempts to put Africa as a continent at the focal point, all things considered, attempts to put African history within proper context rather than Europe assuming the acknowledgment in what it has not done and accomplished. In this manner, this point of view ought not to be viewed as attempting to put African at any predominance but the way that Africa's source, culture, and conduct ought to be valued (Ince). (I would follow up with explaining the significance of this reference) (unclear thesis) Comment by Claire E Logan: I would use a different definition--afrocentricity is a framework, not an actual study Comment by Claire E Logan: confusing--would scrap the whole sentence Comment by Claire E Logan: confusing-- re-word
The exponents of Afrocentrism support the statement that the contributions made by black African people have been discredited as part of the history of colonialism and the pathology of slavery, more so in the act writing Africans out of history. Afrocentricity has its own critics, some of the critics such as Mary Lefkowitz, term who describe Afrocentricity to be obstinately therapeutic as well as pseudohistory (reference needed). Other critics, like Kwame Appiah, view Afrocentricity as a strategy to disrupt the history of the world by trying to replace Eurocentricity with a curriculum that is hierarchical and ethnocentric (reference needed). The critics in support of this approach also claim that Afrocentricity negatively portrays the culture of Europe and people of European descent. (I would take a stance here by disproving these critiques in a way that addresses your thesis)
Afrocentricity is followed back to the African-American who was brought up in Europe after Africa nations were colonized, and some were sold as captives to the European countries (unclear sentence). Afrocentricity is dated back to the 19th century and the early 20th century. It is believed to be the work of intellectuals of Africans in Africa and those in the diaspora as well (a.

Solitary reading
& text analysis
In solitary reading ‘the written literary text is the substance of the discourse; it is the language which cues text-worlds in the readers’ minds’ (Peplow et al. 2016: 37);
The language of the text determines which schemas readers need to draw on in order to comprehend the text;
The purpose of (cognitive) stylistic approaches to literature ‘is to explicate how the interplay between written text and reader results in a particular interpretation or emotional response to the extract under discussion’ (Peplow et al. 2016: 38; emphasis added).

Matt Homes, a 19-year-old schizophrenic struggling within the mental health system, is conducting his own writing therapy, urgently bashing out his thoughts on an old typewriter and interspersing them with letters, doodles and sketches. [The novel] is beautifully packaged, with drawings, varying typefaces and typographical tricks representing Matt's swelling bundle of papers. It is a gripping, exhilarating read.

LMP1: I/O and Filesystems
=========================
Welcome to LMP1, the first long MP. LMP1 is the first stage of a project aimed
at creating a simple yet functional networked filesystem. In this MP, you will
learn about and use POSIX file system calls, while subsequent LMPs will
introduce memory management, messaging, and networking functionality. If you
implement all parts of this MP correctly, you will be able to reuse your code
for future MPs.
This first LMP concentrates on the file I/O portion of the project.
Specifically, you will implement a custom filesystem and test its performance
using a filesystem benchmark. A benchmark is an application used to test the
performance of some aspect of the system. We will be using Bonnie, a real
filesystem benchmark, to test various performance aspects of the filesystem we
implement.
LMP1 consists of four steps:
1. Read the code; run the Bonnie benchmark and the LMP1 test suite.
2. Implement Test Suite 1 functionality, encompassing basic file I/O operations.
3. Implement Test Suite 2-4 functionality (directory operations, file
creation/deletion, and recursive checksumming).
4. Modify Bonnie to use your client-server file I/O methods.
Code structure
--------------
The code for this project is structured according to the client-server
model. The client code (filesystem benchmark) will interact with the
server (filesystem) only through interface functions defined in
fileio.h:
int file_read(char *path, int offset, void *buffer, size_t bufbytes);
int file_info(char *path, void *buffer, size_t bufbytes);
int file_write(char *path, int offset, void *buffer, size_t bufbytes);
int file_create(char *path,char *pattern, int repeatcount);
int file_remove(char *path);
int dir_create(char *path);
int dir_list(char *path,void *buffer, size_t bufbytes);
int file_checksum(char *path);
int dir_checksum(char *path);
These functions represent a simple interface to our filesystem. In Steps 2 and
3 of this MP, you will write the code for functions implementing this interface,
replacing the stub code in fileio.c. In Step 4, you will modify a Bonnie method
to use this interface, rather than calling the normal POSIX I/O functions
directly. The purpose of Step 4 is to help test our implementation.
Step 1: Understanding the code
------------------------------
1. Compile the project, execute Bonnie and the test framework.
Note: you may need to add execute permissions to the .sh files using
the command "chmod +x *.sh".
Try the following:
make

(this runs the Bonnie benchmark - it may take a little while)
./lmp1 -test suite1
(run Test Suite 1 - this has to work for stage1)
make test
(run all tests - this has to work for stage2)
2. Read through the provided .c and .h files and understand how this
project is organized:

Claudius, to claim the girl as his slave, and to bar any claim on the part of her
friends to retain possession of her till the case was tried, as he thought that the
father's absence afforded a good opportunity for this illegal action. [in Roman law at
this time the person was presumed to be free until the claim of slavery was proved in
court] [6] As the girl was going to her school in the Forum —the grammar schools
were held in booths there —the decemvir's pander [minister libidinis, literally
'assistant of lust'] laid his hand upon her, declaring that she was the daughter of a
slave of his, and a slave herself. [7] He then ordered her to follow him, and
threatened, if she hesitated, to carry her off by force. While the girl was stupefied
with terror, her maid's shrieks, invoking ‘the protection of the Quirites,’ [=
'assemblymen of Rome, citizens, supposedly from the roots co+vir men together]
drew a crowd together. The names of her father Verginius and her betrothed lover,
Icilius, were held in universal respect. [8] Regard for them brought their friends,
feelings of indignation brought the crowd to the maiden's support. She was now safe
from violence; the man who claimed her said that he was proceeding according to
law, not by violence, there was no need for any excited gathering. [9] He summoned
the girl into court. Her supporters advised her to follow him; they came before the
tribunal of Appius. The claimant repeated a story already perfectly familiar to the
judge as he was the author of the plot, how the girl had been born.

Rough draft - Afrocentricity
Also known as Afrocentric, Afrocentricity is the study of the history of the world that focuses on the history of the current African descent. Afrocentricity refers to an African initiative culture that attempts to bring Africa to the center of the whole thing. This is regarding everything that began in Africa yet comprehensively; they are said to be Africa-American based. Furthermore, Afrocentricity has been employed significantly to scholarly work where Africans need acknowledgment as they are the ones putting effort on the works coming from Africa. Similarly, the fact that they have a broad scope of masterminds who are capable and have had the option to think of scholarly work, Afrocentricity at its most straightforward attempts to put Africa as a continent at the focal point, all things considered, attempts to put African history within proper context rather than Europe assuming the acknowledgment in what it has not done and accomplished. In this manner, this point of view ought not to be viewed as attempting to put African at any predominance but the way that Africa's source, culture, and conduct ought to be valued (Ince). (I would follow up with explaining the significance of this reference) (unclear thesis) Comment by Claire E Logan: I would use a different definition--afrocentricity is a framework, not an actual study Comment by Claire E Logan: confusing--would scrap the whole sentence Comment by Claire E Logan: confusing-- re-word
The exponents of Afrocentrism support the statement that the contributions made by black African people have been discredited as part of the history of colonialism and the pathology of slavery, more so in the act writing Africans out of history. Afrocentricity has its own critics, some of the critics such as Mary Lefkowitz, term who describe Afrocentricity to be obstinately therapeutic as well as pseudohistory (reference needed). Other critics, like Kwame Appiah, view Afrocentricity as a strategy to disrupt the history of the world by trying to replace Eurocentricity with a curriculum that is hierarchical and ethnocentric (reference needed). The critics in support of this approach also claim that Afrocentricity negatively portrays the culture of Europe and people of European descent. (I would take a stance here by disproving these critiques in a way that addresses your thesis)
Afrocentricity is followed back to the African-American who was brought up in Europe after Africa nations were colonized, and some were sold as captives to the European countries (unclear sentence). Afrocentricity is dated back to the 19th century and the early 20th century. It is believed to be the work of intellectuals of Africans in Africa and those in the diaspora as well (a. It was a reform brought about by social reforms in Africa and the United States of America after the end o.

Lecture 4: Solitary reading
Dr C. Harrison

Last week…
We considered the role of the implied reader in the reception of literature;
We explored the crossover/ young adult fiction genres – their content and readership;
We thought about the role of/ debates surrounding censorship in contemporary fiction;
Seminars
We explored the textual representation of the implied reader.
This week…
We will think about what is meant by the term ‘solitary reading’ and how it might be analysed;
We will consider the Costa-award winning experimental novel The Shock of the Fall as a case study;
Seminars
We will explore the ideas of identification and observation/distancing through a close analysis of particular language (stylistic) choices in the text and in reader reviews.

Solitary reading
& text analysis
In solitary reading ‘the written literary text is the substance of the discourse; it is the language which cues text-worlds in the readers’ minds’ (Peplow et al. 2016: 37);
The language of the text determines which schemas readers need to draw on in order to comprehend the text;
The purpose of (cognitive) stylistic approaches to literature ‘is to explicate how the interplay between written text and reader results in a particular interpretation or emotional response to the extract under discussion’ (Peplow et al. 2016: 38; emphasis added).

Reading as an emotional experience:
The Shock of the Fall
Costa award for best first novel
Experimental text: manipulates text and images
Central themes: grief, mental illness
Matt Homes, a 19-year-old schizophrenic struggling within the mental health system, is conducting his own writing therapy, urgently bashing out his thoughts on an old typewriter and interspersing them with letters, doodles and sketches. [The novel] is beautifully packaged, with drawings, varying typefaces and typographical tricks representing Matt's swelling bundle of papers. It is a gripping, exhilarating read.

Literature ReviewYou are to write a 1200 word literature revie.docx
Literature Review
You are to write a
1200 word literature review
(in addition to the title page and references page) on the articles you selected for Week 2, synthesizing the findings in the articles that you found on your topic. You may incorporate other articles or references to support your discussion, as needed. Use APA citation and reference guidelines.
What is a literature review?
A literature review is a synthesis and critique of the published research in a given area of research. Your focus is on the findings of the studies you are exploring – their methods, approach, results, and implications – rather than the broad topic overall. It should synthesize findings in specific areas. Thus, you should look for themes in the range of articles and write about them as you group common themes.
Synthesize the material you found. In other words, find connected themes in the different areas you cover. Occasionally you might discuss individual articles, but only if the article is very unique and no other article has similar findings. The synthesis should focus strictly on existing, published research.
What else should you include besides a synthesis of research?
Be sure to include in your review other potential areas that still need to be explored. What unanswered questions are there? What holes are in the research that you have not yet found answers to? What contradictions are in the research will you seek to explore?
Examples of Synthesized Findings for Literature Review:
College students were found to have a large number of conflicts with roommates (Darsey, 2003; Smith, 2001; Yarmouth, 2005). Researchers also found that roommate conflicts were most frequent during the first semester of college (Lotspiech, 2004; Nominskee, 2001; Zackarov, 2000). Morissey (2004) found a reduction of roommate conflicts continued as students progressed from freshman to seniors, with seniors having the fewest roommate conflicts. However, Ellensworth (2001) found no correlation with year in school and frequency of roommate conflict. The contradiction between Ellensworth’s and Morissey’s findings suggest that additional research is needed in this area.
Ellensworth’s (2001) research was strictly quantitative, lacking a full picture of the contexts or reasons for the specific conflicts. It asked people to mark the frequency of their conflicts and types of people with whom they typically disputed. Morissey (2004) conducted interviews that allowed participants to provide an explanation for the reasons for the conflicts, and the contexts (dorm roommates, apartment roommates, house roommates, etc.). However, she interviewed far fewer people than Ellensworth surveyed.
Combining Ellensworth’s surveys with Morissey’s interview questions and utilizing a research team to increase the number of interviews could provide more details about the conflicts and contexts, and allow us to further look into the question of year in school and conflict behavior.

Summary of Clinical Issue
The clinical issue, in this case, is patient infections. Hospitals have always been a place of refuge for patients but there is a worrying fact about infections in hospitals. Some of the patients are taken to the hospital to get better but they leave with more infections than they came in with. The issue of infections in hospitals is motivated by two major factors. The first factor is associated with medical errors. Most of the infections which occur in hospitals affect people who have gone through surgeries are people who are receiving blood, water, and food through tubes. It, therefore, means that in most cases, doctors are responsible for infections. When the inner body organs are exposed to the environment, they get exposed to germs and germs increase the chances of infections. The second factor that supports infections is hygiene in the hospital. A hospital is a sensitive place and therefore, there is a dire need to make sure that it is hygienically fit for patients. Dirt has the ability to increase high exposure to infections. Contaminated foods and drinks increase the chances of infections. It is essential to note that the cleanliness of the water and other equipment that is used in hospitals is imperative.

In hospital infections, can improved hospital hygiene reduces the number of hospital infections among patients of all ages in the next twelve months

Literary Analysis on Mending Wall” by Robert Frost The .docx
Literary Analysis on “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost
The poem,”Mending Wall”, was written by Robert Frost, an American poet. The poem
was created according to rural New England’s setting, where Frost lived at that time. The poem
adapted the characteristics of the characteristics and rituals of the country. The poem describes a
ritual where the speaker and a neighbor met to rebuild a wall made of stone between their
properties, “And on a day we meet to walk the line and set the wall between us once again”
(Frost, 1914). The ritual brings out the main idea of the poem, which is the value of boundaries
between people and the importance of human labor.
Robert Frost wrote “Mending Wall” during a period in the 19th century characterized by
literary modernism. It reacts to the rapid urbanization and industrialization in the 19h century,
and in the upcoming modern world. Frost in his poem tries to bring out the excitement of
literature while cultivating innovation. The writer makes use of symbols in form of literature to
describe the poem. “The frozen ground swell”, (Frost, 1914) as he says, describes the frost,
which is an unsettling force in “Mending Wall”, acts as a damaging object which knocks out
large parts of the wall. The frost is described to be strange, as the writer says, “No one has seen
them made or heard them made.”(Frost, 1914) The strange force behind the frost carries a
significant meaning in the poem. The frost and its strange force signify nature and its effect on
humans. In other terms, things created by human beings are temporary as opposed to nature
which is pulled by its own natural forces.
The spring, traditionally used to refer to rebirth, is used in the poem to symbolize
renewal: “But at spring mending-time we find them there.” (Frost, 1914) Renewal is
demonstrated when the speaker and the neighbor take part in rebuilding the wall. Additionally,
the poem elaborates the value of human work, which creates a feeling of renewal, just as the wall
in the poem is rebuilt every spring. The fence in the poem not only symbolizes the border
between two properties, but also divisions that exist between humans. The poem raises questions
whether borders separate people with existing relationships or whether creating boundaries is
important in establishing a peaceful coexistence. The cows carry an important meaning in the
poem,”Mending Wall.” The speaker explains something wider and deeper when he announces,
“Where there are cows? But here there are no cows”. (Frost, 1914) The lack of cows signify the
absence of conflict; the speaker and the neighbor use their properties for different purposes but
do not conflict over resources, meaning that there is no need of fear. They can live peacefully
with or without a wall between them.
The poem “Mending Wall has its heart at explaining about borders, the struggle to
maintain them and its impact on human beings. Throughout the poem,.

Lily is a 20-year-old student at the local community college. When some of her friends and classmates told her about an outbreak of flu-like symptoms sweeping her campus during the past 2 weeks, Lily figured she shouldn't take her 3-day sore throat lightly. Your clinic has treated a few cases similar to Lily's. All the patients reported decreased appetite, headaches, and pain with swallowing. As Lily recounts these symptoms to you, you notice that she has a runny nose and a slight hoarseness in her voice but doesn't sound congested.
Use the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template and create an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to which you were assigned using the episodic/focused note template provided in the Week 5 resources. Provide evidence from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case.

Literature ReviewYou are to write a 1200 word literature revie.docx
Literature Review
You are to write a
1200 word literature review
(in addition to the title page and references page) on the articles you selected for Week 2, synthesizing the findings in the articles that you found on your topic. You may incorporate other articles or references to support your discussion, as needed. Use APA citation and reference guidelines.
What is a literature review?
A literature review is a synthesis and critique of the published research in a given area of research. Your focus is on the findings of the studies you are exploring – their methods, approach, results, and implications – rather than the broad topic overall. It should synthesize findings in specific areas. Thus, you should look for themes in the range of articles and write about them as you group common themes.
Synthesize the material you found. In other words, find connected themes in the different areas you cover. Occasionally you might discuss individual articles, but only if the article is very unique and no other article has similar findings. The synthesis should focus strictly on existing, published research.
What else should you include besides a synthesis of research?
Be sure to include in your review other potential areas that still need to be explored. What unanswered questions are there? What holes are in the research that you have not yet found answers to? What contradictions are in the research will you seek to explore?
Examples of Synthesized Findings for Literature Review:
College students were found to have a large number of conflicts with roommates (Darsey, 2003; Smith, 2001; Yarmouth, 2005). Researchers also found that roommate conflicts were most frequent during the first semester of college (Lotspiech, 2004; Nominskee, 2001; Zackarov, 2000). Morissey (2004) found a reduction of roommate conflicts continued as students progressed from freshman to seniors, with seniors having the fewest roommate conflicts. However, Ellensworth (2001) found no correlation with year in school and frequency of roommate conflict. The contradiction between Ellensworth’s and Morissey’s findings suggest that additional research is needed in this area.
Ellensworth’s (2001) research was strictly quantitative, lacking a full picture of the contexts or reasons for the specific conflicts. It asked people to mark the frequency of their conflicts and types of people with whom they typically disputed. Morissey (2004) conducted interviews that allowed participants to provide an explanation for the reasons for the conflicts, and the contexts (dorm roommates, apartment roommates, house roommates, etc.). However, she interviewed far fewer people than Ellensworth surveyed.
Combining Ellensworth’s surveys with Morissey’s interview questions and utilizing a research team to increase the number of interviews could provide more details about the conflicts and contexts, and allow us to further look into the question of year in school and conflict behavior.

Summary of Clinical Issue
The clinical issue, in this case, is patient infections. Hospitals have always been a place of refuge for patients but there is a worrying fact about infections in hospitals. Some of the patients are taken to the hospital to get better but they leave with more infections than they came in with. The issue of infections in hospitals is motivated by two major factors. The first factor is associated with medical errors. Most of the infections which occur in hospitals affect people who have gone through surgeries are people who are receiving blood, water, and food through tubes. It, therefore, means that in most cases, doctors are responsible for infections. When the inner body organs are exposed to the environment, they get exposed to germs and germs increase the chances of infections. The second factor that supports infections is hygiene in the hospital. A hospital is a sensitive place and therefore, there is a dire need to make sure that it is hygienically fit for patients. Dirt has the ability to increase high exposure to infections. Contaminated foods and drinks increase the chances of infections. It is essential to note that the cleanliness of the water and other equipment that is used in hospitals is imperative.

In hospital infections, can improved hospital hygiene reduces the number of hospital infections among patients of all ages in the next twelve months

Literary Analysis on Mending Wall” by Robert Frost The .docx
Literary Analysis on “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost
The poem,”Mending Wall”, was written by Robert Frost, an American poet. The poem
was created according to rural New England’s setting, where Frost lived at that time. The poem
adapted the characteristics of the characteristics and rituals of the country. The poem describes a
ritual where the speaker and a neighbor met to rebuild a wall made of stone between their
properties, “And on a day we meet to walk the line and set the wall between us once again”
(Frost, 1914). The ritual brings out the main idea of the poem, which is the value of boundaries
between people and the importance of human labor.
Robert Frost wrote “Mending Wall” during a period in the 19th century characterized by
literary modernism. It reacts to the rapid urbanization and industrialization in the 19h century,
and in the upcoming modern world. Frost in his poem tries to bring out the excitement of
literature while cultivating innovation. The writer makes use of symbols in form of literature to
describe the poem. “The frozen ground swell”, (Frost, 1914) as he says, describes the frost,
which is an unsettling force in “Mending Wall”, acts as a damaging object which knocks out
large parts of the wall. The frost is described to be strange, as the writer says, “No one has seen
them made or heard them made.”(Frost, 1914) The strange force behind the frost carries a
significant meaning in the poem. The frost and its strange force signify nature and its effect on
humans. In other terms, things created by human beings are temporary as opposed to nature
which is pulled by its own natural forces.
The spring, traditionally used to refer to rebirth, is used in the poem to symbolize
renewal: “But at spring mending-time we find them there.” (Frost, 1914) Renewal is
demonstrated when the speaker and the neighbor take part in rebuilding the wall. Additionally,
the poem elaborates the value of human work, which creates a feeling of renewal, just as the wall
in the poem is rebuilt every spring. The fence in the poem not only symbolizes the border
between two properties, but also divisions that exist between humans. The poem raises questions
whether borders separate people with existing relationships or whether creating boundaries is
important in establishing a peaceful coexistence. The cows carry an important meaning in the
poem,”Mending Wall.” The speaker explains something wider and deeper when he announces,
“Where there are cows? But here there are no cows”. (Frost, 1914) The lack of cows signify the
absence of conflict; the speaker and the neighbor use their properties for different purposes but
do not conflict over resources, meaning that there is no need of fear. They can live peacefully
with or without a wall between them.
The poem “Mending Wall has its heart at explaining about borders, the struggle to
maintain them and its impact on human beings. Throughout the poem,.

Leslie was employed at a nail salon for 15 years before it went .docx
- 1. Leslie was employed at a nail salon for 15 years before it went out of business. She called Nail Temp, a local temp specializing in beauty and salon services. On June 14, 2000, Nail Temp placed Nancy at a local salon called Nail Perfection. Nancy worked 40 hours a week and started making great friends at Nail Perfection. She loved their new ergonomic chairs and was happy to use all the latest cosmetics that Nail perfection provided. Every week, she would stop by Nail Temp on the way home to pick up her paycheck. Leslie was thrilled. Despite Leslie’s success at work, however, she struggled at home. Her adopted daughter Wendy always managed to date the wrong men and developed a drug problem. On April 20, 2001, Wendy had a baby boy, Rudy. One morning in May 2001, Wendy dropped Rudy off with Leslie and promptly took off with her latest beau. Leslie provided for Rudy from the time he was 1 month old. He lived in her house and she provided his meals and his care. Wendy occasionally contributed to his support, and came by about once a month for a visit. In January of 2003, Leslie was offered a full-time position at Nail Perfection. Her boss broke the good news by saying, “Great news! No need to drop by the old temp agency anymore – you are one of us now!” In April of that same year, Rudy fell down and broke both arms and both legs. With so many casts, Rudy required full-time care. Leslie requested FMLA leave to take care of her grandson. When she asked her boss, he said, “Ooooh- wish we could help. But since you have only worked here for 3 months, we don’t have to provide FMLA.” When Leslie protested, he said,
- 2. “Honestly, Leslie, I’m sorry, but I can’t help you. Besides you can’t take leave for him because he is not your real son and your daughter was adopted! No way I have to give you FMLA leave.” Leslie was frustrated. She contacts you to help her out. Please discuss any arguments Leslie should make to support her FMLA claim.
