2. Nursing Diagnoses And Its Effects On The United States
Our client, Ertha Williams is a 99 year old female who lives alone in a low income
apartment complex on the second floor in Monroe, Michigan. Ertha suffers from
chronic kidney disease and has a history of hypertension and type one diabetes. Due
to her chronic kidney disease Ertha has regular scheduled dialysisappointments three
times a week, but since the death of her son and husband and her inability to drive
it is difficult for Ertha to get to her dialysis appointments. She also has difficulties
preparing the multiple medication she is required to take to manage her
hypertension and diabetes. After her last dialysis appointment the nurse reported
that Ertha appeared frail and emaciated. Ertha herself also stated that she worries
about financial issues frequently and has good and bad days occasionally. Based on
these findings Ertha is in need of some assistance to help alleviate some of the
problems and stresses she is undergoing. Several nursing diagnoses can be established
based on Ertha s current situation and through these diagnoses it will be easier to
establish what kind of services Ertha will need from the surrounding community of
Monroe and what types of barriers she might encounter in attempting to access these
services.
Ertha s most prominent issues are her inability to get to her prescribed dialysis
appointments three times a week and the difficulties she has in preparing her
medications. Based on this evidence a nursing diagnosis of ineffective health
3. The Is A Gang And His Article Develops A Convincing
Argument
Ludeke believes MLO is a gang and his article develops a convincing argument.
According to the STEP Act, a gang is:
Any ongoing organization, association, or group of three or more persons . . .
having as one of its primary activities the commission of one or more of the
criminal acts enumerated in paragraphs (1) to (25), inclusive, or (31) to (33),
inclusive, of subdivision (e), having a common name or common identifying sign or
symbol, and whose members individually or collectively engage in or have engaged
in a pattern of criminal gang activity. (Ludeke, 2007). MLO has more than three
members, their primary activity is to protect their turf by any means necessary,
and they have shown this resolve by committing assault with a deadly weapon or
by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury and intimidation of witness
and victims (Ludeke, 2007). They have a common name and its members have
collectively engaged in a pattern of gang activity by committing the crimes
already mentioned. Based on this, MLO meets the criteria of a gang and not only
could the sheriff s department prosecute MLO s crimes as gang related, but they
could also seek to obtain civil injunctions against them. It is hard to imagine that a
group meeting all the characteristics of what makes a criminal street gang as
described in the STEP Act, would not be prosecuted as such. Law enforcement s
failure to identify MLO as a gang begs the question, if this was not Malibu, if these
kids were not
4. Spanish Civil War
SPANISH CIVIL WAR WEAKNESS COLLAPSE Introduction: The second
republic was formed after the dictatorship under Primo de Rivera (1923) and the
abdication of the King. The republican leftist government was established in 1931.
It inherited the poor economy courtesy of the Great Depression, so naturally
unemployment rates were high and wages were low. Ideological differences
between various political groups were in existence due to the radicalized time,
however not to the extent as in most other European nations at the time as Spain was
not as heavily involved in or impacted by WWI. On top of this, Spain had been rife
with regional, economic, and social conflict for decades. These factors, although
minor in the context of the... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
So who cares? The socialist and urban working class still supported the government
o But NO! The socialist and urban class were a small majority in Spain actually as
the social class was extremely polarized in Spain. o NOT ONLY did it anger the
wealthy/landed/industrialists but it also left a majority of ordinary people
dissatisfied as it had little to no effect on the widespread poverty of rural Spain
SOOOO it was very much unsuccessful in that it really pleased no one and angered
just about everyone, thereby significantly reducing the Gov t support base Carlos
Rama: Civil war resulted from Spain s failure to create a state which could
command at least the allegiance, and perhaps the luke warm support of its citizens. o
Indicates that the societal discord caused by the constitution precipitated the
subsequent political discord that would lead to the collapse of government
Furthermore Historian Frances Lannon: calls the constitution divisive in that the
articles on property and religion and the prioritization of state power had a disregard
for civil rights and ruined the prospect of the development of a Catholic,
conservative, republicanism Browne: The second republic failed to become a mature
state and was unable to broaden support In summary: AzaГ±a loses support from the

in the first case James analyzes he talks about the his relationship with it , it being
a higher power (god) that he would find comfort in whenever he was in a rough
spot in life. this it would be with him through out his life and help make him feel
complete. The mystical element can be found in his connection with a higher
power. I ve noticed examples of this, like in how people who do not believe in a
higher power find them selves at rock bottom or lose a loved one, when they feel
like they ve lost control they ll often result in talking to / praying to a godfor help. As
he grew older though, he lost that connection to it and his life began to feel dead and
indifferent

this experience had changed ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The connection he feels with god is ever present. He communicates and prays with
god often and says his prayers are answered. He feels this connection very positivley
and thinks of god as a friend that protects him.
A lover has notoriously this sense of continuous being of his idol, even when his
attention is addressed to other mattrees and he no no longer represents her features.
relating the connection with god and the love in a relationship, a person carries on
the feeling of that person even when they re not together. There is a connection that
cannot be severed when you love someone, even after the relationship dissolves.
Explain James view on the opposition between rationalism and mysticism rationalism
is scientific and based on rational ideas and measurements. things like our intuition
and gut feelings cannot and should not be rationalized and often do not agree with
our rational thoughts. if you have intuitions at all, they come from a deeper level of
your nature than the loquacious level which rationalism inhabits. (page 283) James
believes mysticism is more important than

An effective anti TNF
Adalimumab is an anti tumour necrosis factor alpha (anti TNFО±) drug used for the
treatment of Rheumatic disease, specifically rheumatoid arthritis (Joint Formulary
Committee., 2014).
Basics of Rheumatoid Arthritis and its treatments.
Around 70% of arthritis sufferers in the UK have rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Women
are also more likely to develop RA than men, and commonly affects adults between
ages 50 and 60. This condition is characterised by an insidious onset of pain, swelling
of joints and morning stiffness. Arthritis is caused by inflammation of the synovial
tissue of the joints, supposedly triggered by the presence of autobodies such as
rheumatoid factors. The first line treatment for RA is a combination of disease
modifying anti rheumatic drug (DMARD). These slow down the progression of RA
and treatment typically includes methotrexate in combination with another DMARD
(e.g. sulphasalazine). Short term glucocorticoids are also used with DMARDS to
manage flares of inflammation. Anti TNF drugs

8. Strengths In Mark Bowden s Black Hawk Down
Violence, death, profanity. Usually a book containing these subjects, along with
many other disturbing aspects, would not be recommended for teenagers to read.
However, looking past all of those details, Black Hawk Down actually has valuable
lessons within it. The author, Mark Bowden, writes about the Battle Of Mogadishu
that occurred from December 1992 to October 1993, and includes useful information
within his novel. He focuses on the truth about war, weaknesses and strengths within
it, and also lessons that can be learned from these subjects. The subject of war is
often romanticized. Video games, movies, and even some other books as well cut
out a lot of truth about war, because people tend to be afraid of telling the truth. Even

There are quite a few positive characteristics within the troops as well that make up
for the mistakes they may have made. One main one is that they always have each
others backs. The Deltas look after the Rangers, and act as their role models. It was
as if the Rangers saw the D Boys as their big brothers, and since their big brothers
were around, everything would be okay (Bowden 234). This shows the bond
between the troops, and adds emotion to the novel. Another characteristic is that
the older soldiers try to be positive throughout the war, even if situations got tough.
Smith was now asking the medic to tell his parents and family good bye . . . Hold
on tight, Schmid told the dying corporal. We re working on getting you out of here
(Bowden 238). There are also some points within the novel that show soldiers
making jokes about their situation, instead of letting it bring them down and get the
best of them. The final trait is that even throughout all of the horrors the two teams
went through during the war, they still did their best and pushed through until it
was finally over. There s no doubt that the perception people have of this episode is
that it was a total fiasco. Bowden says. But this was a successfully completed
mission. And in the eyes of the military men involved, it s a mission they re very
proud of (EDIT). So even though these teams saw, heard, and participated in
horrifying events, in

10. Social Media And Its Impact On Public Sector
Literature Review
Social media provides the voice, in other words, social network and media connect
company or organisation with its audience. Nowadays, social networking plays a
significant role in any organisation. It is much easier for private sector to be linked
with the social media, rather than for public sector. Public sector includes all
organisations, which are owned or operated by the government, and exist to provide
services to citizens (PrivacySense.net, n.d.). Waste management and recycling is one
of the components of public sector.

media channels; only now it got obvious for them, that there is ... Show more content

Thus, it can be suggested for waste management company to use Twitter and
Facebook as a primary social media platforms for external communications, in order
to communicate with citizens on day to day basis and keep them updated. As for
internal communications within the company, the best is to use LinkedIn, so
employees can be aware of what is going on in the company, and build a relationship
with each other. Furthermore, the term, such as Gov 2.0, has to be mentioned.
Government 2.0 (Gov 2.0) can be described as the use of information technology
(IT) to commoditise and socialise government services and processes (DiMaio,
2009). When Gov 2.0 and Web 2.0 works together, it has a positive impact on the link
between public sector organisation, government, and citizens.
The importance and purpose of social digital tools in waste management sector
Waste management and recycling services have been using the traditional tools of
communication to reach the audience, such as print advertisement, brochures and
flyers. Through out the time the way to do business and communicate with audience
has changed, as the digital technology become more advance. These changes have
affected all the industry, including the waste and recycling sector. It seems that
organization within this sector have been always putting the importance of digital
technologies and opportunities of social media on the back burner. However, the

The hangar was alive with activity and tense with expectation as Tensai peered
through the pilot s access hatch, then as he crossed the threshold, he paused for a
second, inhaling deeply and revelling in the pungent, heavy odour of burnt high
octane fuel and spilt oil. To him, this was the essence of power. Real authority. Not
the kind lorded over by Kentali s political masters.
As he thought, his gaze reached out across the huge hangar deck, its rich history
marked by deep cuts and rainbowed spots of warped steel, and he said a silent
remembrance for those less fortunate souls whose journey was already complete.

The malignancy would fester if left unchecked. It was something he could ill afford.
The last time The Hub became active, it destroyed Kentali vessels on sight. This

before pressing ahead. A single vessel of unclear design has accessed our target.
Their forces are unknown, but from the size of the ship, they are fewer than fifty

The mission objective held their focus once more and Tensai s Second Officer, Cahal
Hannan lifted his left hand to speak.
Will Umonakalisi be there? Aboard The Hub, sir? Not the planet.
The pertinent question was expected, his older brother perished in the Blood Sands,
one of the many casualties still unburied and unavenged.
No. We do not believe so. Indications are that the ship did not visit Arthe. Therefore,
we expect The Destroyer, Umonakalisi remains on the surface.
Hannan lowered his gaze, and his head dropped in resignation as his massive frame
slumped forwards, he was a bear of a man and far stronger than Tensai, but lacking
in speed and agility. A fact he was forever thankful for when they sparred.
We are not expecting resistance on our approach to The Hub, so our training will
focus on small arms, confined space combat. That is why Commander Sankath
selected us. Any further questions?
His team remained silent.

13. The Sufi Approach To Opening The Heart Essay
Robert Frager in his book, The Sufi Approach to Opening the Heart writes that our
heart is a temple where God resides and it is placed by God himself in the body of
his profound believers. He supports his words by revealing God s saying that He
can only be found in the heart of a sincere believer and cannot fit in Earths and
Heavens. If we compare our hearts to the holy shrines and the temples created by
us, we would realize that our hearts are more precious and valuable because they
are created by God himself. We are consumed by the worldly desires and we have
destroyed ourselves in this illusory world, and hence ignored the dwelling God in our
hearts. Imam Al Ghazali in his book Mishkat Al Anwar says that light represents the

He said that evil is basically non existence and that being and existence represents the
good and non existence and the lack of being is evil. Chittick then emphasized on the
case of Rumi. When Rumi said, The madman s star has eclipsed, he has fled from
commotion―I have mixed with death, I have flown into non existence . Now,
when Rumi talks about his non existence, that does not mean that he is evil and
non existence is evil. The reason that Rumi talked about his non existence from
our point of view is because we are thinking the opposite. We think God is non
existent and that we are existent. But we are wrong. It is the complete opposite of
that. We are non existent and God is existent. Chittick then recalled a passage from
Shams, You say that Allah is dhat (essence). So what? What s it to you? He is
eternal being. You are not. When we say non existence, that means, not existing in
this world. Now, all sorts of evil intentions rise out from within us. Before its
arousal fromour body , it did not exist. So that clearly means, those good thoughts
have always existed in this world from before and that evil arises from within us. He
then shares a passage from section 47 of Mevlana Rumi s book Fihi ma Fihi, God
wills both good and evil, but He only approves of the good. For God said, I was a
hidden treasure, so I wanted, I desired, I loved to
14. Essay Self Esteem
This paper is about the impact of self esteem on daily life. The more negative
thoughts and feelings you have about yourself, the lower your self esteem. People
with low self esteem often have little confidence in their abilities and question their
self worth. A common scenario, which exemplifies a lack of self esteem, features
college students who say, It won t do any good to study. I won t make a good grade
anyway. These students think they are doomed to failure because of poor
performance in the past or their current fears of failure. Consequently, their lack of
self confidence results in passivity with little or no effort to establish goals. Even
when they do make worthwhile accomplishments, these students perceive that... Show

Children growing into adulthood need to feel they are trusted to make decisions
on their own. Individuality plays a major role in this growth area in self esteem. A
good question to ask your self in this area is, how do you feel when you are not
trusted? Do you feel you have a high or low self esteem when faced with distrust?
Children do not feel a high sense of self esteem either when not trusted. Working
with children in sports events gives you a sense of how children develop their self
esteems. Children play sports in most cases harder then adults do. Every event of
the games they perform helps them build or damage self esteem. The best way to
make a positive out of this method is to make them feel good on accomplishments
and greater on errors. Children need assistance when they do make errors. If all
they see is that they failed and blame is left on them then they are failures inside. If
they see they failed and words of encouragement are left in their head, they will try
harder when faced with same mistake. The best way to develop self esteem in
children is to be an active role in their life for the rest of their lives. Major depression
affects one in fifty school children. Countless others are affected by milder cases of
depression, which may also affect school performance. The peak age of depression
correlates with the peak years of low self esteem. Right at the prime period for low

16. An Integration Center Of The Reflex Arc
An integration center in the reflex arc is a neuropathway that creates a reflex action
to activating neurons to skip the spinal cord and protect your brain. The nerve cells
can be categorized by their connections, structure, and neurotransmitters. The
structural classification is depending on shape and size of the cell body, its dendritic
tree, axonlength, and the nature of the connections it makes. The neurons with one,
two, or more than two neurites, are unipolar, bipolar, and multipolar respectively.
Most of neurons in vertebrate nervous systems are multipolar, but there are
significant exceptions. For illustration, bipolar neurons in the retina synapse with
sensory neurons, and photoreceptors in the dorsal root ganglion are explained as
pseudo unipolar as they begin life as bipolar cells but their two neurites fuse. The
unipolar neurons dominate in invertebrates. Collaterals a small side branch, as of a
blood vessel or nerve. A neuronal pool is a group of interconnected neurons with
specific functions. A pool may be diffuse, involving neurons in several regions of the
brain, or localized, with neurons restricted to one specific location in the brain or
spinal cord. However, the proper function of the circuit of the stretch reflex also relies
on convergence and divergence. A single sensory has multiple branches that diverge
and make synaptic connections with many individual motor neurons. Therefore,
when the muscle contracts as a result of the neurologist s tapper, it

I believe that each different human being had their own definition of what gives
their life a meaning. Some might say that a certain person is the meaning; some
others might say that traveling is and discovering new places helps you have a
meaning in life. Others might say that being healthy and having friends and family
ir their meaning. And they all are right. Each one of us has their own reality and
therefore their own definition, but what all of these have in common is that they
make each person happy. A certain person to someone might be the reason why they

Then my sister heard that and she came and sit down to the conversation, after a
while of talking my friend asked me what was the chance of me studying abroad,
and my sister without even thinking twice, gave me a mocking smile and said I
will tell you, her chances of going out to study are zero percent! and after that
moment I really started thinking about studying what everyone around me
expected me to study. I wasn t excited with the idea, but I thought that maybe if
everyone told me that that s what he or she saw me doing, probably was because I
was good at it, but I was so hurt inside because of that decision. After a year and a

got stuck in my brain forever and that s what I am doing, I started to look for
colleges to study here in the States, and study whatever made me happy, and I can t
complain, I feel happy every day. Happiness has to come hand in hand with love.
You have to be able to love your journey in life and enjoy the little things to be
happy. Sometimes is very hard to do it, because life is testing you, and you really
feel like its falling apart, but in those moments you have to be really strong and try
to find a reason to smile and be happy, even though is hard. I can personally say that
those times in life are the hardest to look for something positive, but we have to
remember that life is what you make
18. Lonesome Dove Analysis
Lonesome Dove is a story in the western genre written by Larry McMurty. The book
was published in 1985 and was the п¬Ѓrst book of a tetralogy, but third in
chronology. The book is about a strenuous cattle drive from Texas to Montana.
Lonesome Dove was a wholesome and interesting book that engages your curiosity
from the beginning to the end. In the beginning of the story they are in a small south
Texas town called lonesome Dove, where the two main characters Augustus McCrae
and Woodrow Call had settled down and started a livery stable after being famous
Texas rangers. The journey starts off after Jake Spoon rides into town talking about
Montana and the untapped potential. That is what sets them off on their journey
driving cattle from Texas to Montana. As their journey began they had many
dilemmas, but I would say their п¬Ѓrst dilemma was the death of Sean O Brien a
young Irish man found with his brother Allen O Brien when they collected the cattle
for the drive. That part of the story was the п¬Ѓrst major event of the story driving
fear in many of the crew. As the drive went north, so did Jake spoon, who brought
along a woman by the name of Lorena Wood. Lorena is a major character in the
story as she is a love interest of both Augustus McCrae, Jake Spoon ,and desired by
many. The story had an interesting offshoot that involved a sheriff from fort smith,
Arkansas by the name of July Johnson. This story begins with Jake Spoon who was
in fort smith gambling when he got into a

Why am I having this test?
Arterial blood gases testing is performed to determine if you have enough oxygen
in your blood. These tests also show whether or not your blood pH is balanced.
Blood pH balance means that your blood is not too acidic (acidosis) and not too
alkaline (alkalosis). A blood pH imbalance may indicate a lung (respiratory),
metabolic, or kidney disorder.
What is being tested?
The tests may include measurements of the following: pH. This is a measure of
hydrogen ion concentration. The pH level indicates the acid base balance of your
blood. With increased amounts of carbon dioxide and other acids, the pH of your
blood decreases. This means that your blood becomes more acidic.

music is one of the most influential characteristics that gave birth to rock and roll.
Rock and roll was influenced by elements of bluesinstrumentation, rhythm, and
purpose. Both rock and roll and blues are composed of drums, guitars, and vocals.
As blues music developed, it pushed the emergence of rock and roll more and
more. Early rock and roll followed a similar rhythm to blues music. The goal of
both these genres of music is to create music with raw emotion. The blues emotion

Awhile by Goree Carter is a song from the early rock and roll style of music. Skip
James music was never intended for purposes of entertainment, and his artistic
temperament was known to be volatile and unpredictable. His music was dark and
mysterious, personal and bleak and intended primarily for his own emotional
release. He often played his guitar with an open D Minor tuning (D A D F A D)
resulting in the deep sound. Skip James was an exceptional guitarist, and his sound
often revolved around his trademark E minor cross note tuning and an eerie falsetto
vocal delivery that could send shivers up ones spine. In Devil Got My Women,
James addresses the struggle between the flesh and the spirit, as well as good and
evil, contains ones of the most classic lyrics of any blues song. Many blues men
refer to the devil, but with Skip James, one can clearly hear the anger, jealously, and
pain. Skip James also used a fingerpicking style that was fast and clean using the

21. Ip Address
Configuring IP
The Internet Protocol (IP) is the only routed protocol that is turned on by default on a
Cisco router running IOS. The acronym IP is actually an abbreviated way of writing
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), which is the suite of
protocols and applications used on the Internet and many private internetworks.
We are going to begin the coverage of IP configuration with a brief overview of IP
and how IOS processes its traffic. Then we will delve into the configuration itself
and make some modifications to the internetwork that we built in Chapter 3. The
only version of IP covered in this book is IP version 4.

This becomes clear when the binary equivalent of this mask is examined as shown

11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 (Binary)
255 . 255 . 255 . 0 (Dotted Decimal)
We see that the mask has 24 ones, starting from the left, and eight zeros. Let us apply
this mask to the IP address in Figure 7 1.
11000000 10101000 10000001 01100011 (Address)
11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 (Mask)
Since the mask indicates that the first 24 bits of the address are the network, the
network address must be
11000000 10101000 10000001 01100011
192 . 168 . 129 . 0
An IP address that has binary zeros in all of the node bits represents a network, not
a host. An IP address that has binary ones in all of the node bits represents all of the
hosts on a network; this is called a broadcast address. The broadcast address of the
192.168.129.0 network in the above example is:
10101100 00010000 10000001 11111111
192 . 168 . 129 . 255
22. The node values between all zeros and all ones identify individual hosts on a
network. Therefore, the 192.168.129.0 255.255.255.0 network can have hosts with
addresses between 192.168.129.1 and 192.168.129.254. That is 254 valid host
addresses on this particular network. Figure 7 2 shows the simple formula for
calculating the number of valid host addresses on a network.

purpose? (Chapter 1)
Interrupt is that causes a computer processor to temporarily stop executing its current
program and execute another program instead, finally returning control to the original
program. So it prevent that more important task goes back because of less important

п‚•a) Synchronous and asynchronous communication
п‚•b) Automatic and explicit buffering
a) Synchronous vs asynchronous can be called to blocking vs non blocking
communication. The benefit of synchronous communication is the simplicity and
accuracy. However blocking may not be necessary and waste time. Asynchronous
communication allows messages to be delivered without waiting. However this
communication has less reliability than blocking one. b) Automatic buffering
provides a queue with in definite length; thus ensuring the sender will never have
to block while waiting to copy a message. There are no specifications how
automatic buffering will be provided; one scheme may reserve sufficiently large
memory where much of the memory is wasted. Explicit buffering specifies how
large the buffer is. In this situation, the sender may be blocked while waiting for
available space in the queue. However, it is less likely memory will be wasted with
explicit buffering.

Journal of African American Studies Blacks are viewed as deserving of harsh
treatment in the criminal justice system (482). Black males with more Afrocentric
features may receive longer sentences than blacks with less Afrocentric features

the police force. It s important to know our rights as citizens and be careful around
cops. Not everybody is good, but not everybody is bad also. In The New York
Amsterdam News 21 people were killed by Chicago police in 2008. Entire families
were being attacked. They believe it s because of their skin color and how they are
different. The year of racism started off with the world seeing the police murder of

While free from my normal duties of assisting nurses in moving patients, taking vital

McDonald s and Burger King both offer kids meals, but McDonald s however has
more appealing options. These options range from food and drink items, to the
packaging they come in. Many times McDonald s relates their toys to the latest
big movie or a popular television show (DePietro, 2010). This could vary
depending on the restaurants location. Burger King has 11,100 locations
worldwide where McDonald s has over 30,000 locations (Brantley, 2007). Because
there are so many Burger King s and McDonald s around the world, the toys are
sure to vary depending on the most popular movie and television show out in that
country. Although there is one thing that really separates these two kids meals
from each other, and that s the price. A Burger King Kids meal can cost as high as
$5.00 depending on your location. Whereas the McDonald s happy meal will cost
you up to $3.00. Cost is really one of the biggest differences between these two
franchises. Aside from both places offering the dollar menu, their overall pricing
on other items, is very different. A McDonald s value meal can cost up to $4.00,
whereas Burger King s value meals can cost up to $6.00! Saving a few bucks by
going to McDonald s sounds a lot better than spending unnecessary amounts of
money at Burger King. Just by looking at the sales difference between the two, you
can see that people would agree. In 2009, Burger King s profit dropped 10% in its

Every day millions of Americans go to theaters with their families to enjoy movies.
Watching films has become one of the most popular activities to do. Although plenty

him. Charlie Chaplin has been a major contributor to America s advancement in the
filmindustry from his innovative beginnings, and perseverance to improve and
succeed, to his overall achievements in history. Charlie Chaplin was born in South
London on April 16, 1889. He was the first child of Hannah and Charles Chaplin.
Charles was vaudeville actor. Hannah was a vaudeville singer. Charlie s father was
a drunk and he later left his family when he was three years old when he found out
his wife had an affair with another actor, Leo Dryden. They soon had a child named
George, who left to live with his father. Since Hannah was now a single mother,
she was struggling to find a way to provide for her children. She had another son
that was older than Charlie, from a previous relationship (Schwartz). Hannah s
singing alone was not enough to earn her the money to care for two boys. She took
up sweatshop work on a sewing machine she rented to earn extra income. Due to
the small amount of income they had, Charlie s family moved in and out of
orphanages and boys homes on a regular basis. Hannah s career as a singer ended
abruptly in 1894. She lost her voice during a performance. While the crowd was

After the Tsar regime was overthrown in 1917, Russia experienced further discontent
as its people carried out revolution and civil war (Modern World History: Russia
1905 41). From these occurrences, Russia then became the first communist state in
the world. The Bolsheviks had become the ruling party after taking over the
Provisional Government in the revolution of November 1917. Vladimir Leninhad
been the leader of this party. There was a bitter civil war between the Communists
who were the Reds and the opposition being the Whites. As a final point the
Bolsheviks defeated their enemies in the Russian Civil War that lasted for 3 years
and ended in 1920.

The Russians had given them peace terms that they found them difficult to comply to
and too severe.
War Communism had been implemented by Lenin in 1918 because of the needs of
the Civil War. The Russian economy was now aimed at providing the supplies it
needed for the army (Modern World History: War Communism and Red Terror). The
Bolsheviks party decided to move away from state capitalism because they felt the
need to intensify authority, through communism (Reaction and Revolution: Russia
1894 1924 Third Edition: War Communism). Lenin introduced harsh restrictive
policies to create the new communist rule. All aspects of life in Russia were
controlled by the Bolsheviks as they implemented severe terms upon its people.
Social, political and economic areas of life had to become subordinate to the aim of
winning the Civil War (Reaction and Revolution: Russia 1894 1924 Third Edition:
War Communism).
The aim of War Communism was to bring industry and agriculture under central
control. Thus the policy of centralization was put into play. This concentrated mainly
on the political and economic center of Russia. In addition this created a great
increase of Bolshevik influence. There was development within the factories through
Bolsheviks influence. Lenin then put a Decree on Nationalism. In less than two years
Russia s enterprises were all under the central government control

Funerals and the accompanying ceremonies and rituals are as diverse as the people
who perform them. I was raised Roman Catholic and have had first hand experience
with the tradition of receiving the Sacrament of Last Rights before a person dies.
When I was seven years old, I had an emergency appendectomy that was done
laparoscopically. Ten days after surgery, I became very ill with a high fever,
vomiting, and intense abdominal pains. My mother rushed me to the hospital
where I was admitted and taken to the operating room for an emergency surgery.
While in surgery, they discovered I had a surgical infection in my lower right
quadrant. They ran my bowel and found a lump in my mesentery, but they could
not biopsy it because it was too close to a major artery. After surgery, I was
recovering well and looking forward to going home. On my third day post
operation, I was difficult to rouse and eventually became unresponsive with my
heart rate dropping to eight beats per minute. I was rushed to the Intensive Care
Unit where I was given Last Rights by the hospital priest because they did not
think I was going to make it through the night. I do not remember receiving the
sacrament that night, but I do remember the second time. Things got a little better,
but then I started hemorrhaging from my nose. That, combined with my blood
loss from surgery, resulted in me needing a blood transfusion. I received Last
Rights for a second time after the central line was placed. I remember the priest
making a cross on my forehead and the palms of my hand. He prayed and blessed my
soul so that if I were to die, I could go to Heaven. I remember feeling a sense of
calm, but that could have been the narcotics. The idea of blessing someone before
deathto ensure that they get to heaven is interesting to me. It almost seems as
though you can live your life as sinfully as you want to but when the time comes, if
you confess and repent, then all is forgiven. That is quite odd to me. It is
interesting to have had Last Rights twice and still be alive. It makes me wonder if
God decided it was not my time. Despite the priest s best attempts to bless my soul
for the journey to heaven. Funeralcosts are something that I do not think I will ever

Literature Review
The modern Private equity industry is relatively young with less than
approximately 50 years of existence. The emergence of Private Equity and Venture
Capital as major asset classes can be traced through the history of a series of boom
and bust cycles in the stock markets since as early as the 1940s, (John Steele
Gordon, 2012,Wall Street Journal), which led to a rise in institutionalisation of buy
out funds in early 1980 s (Cao and Lerner, 2009).

how long does the firm stays invested post the IPO, could be an indicator of the
IPO s long term performance. Often, hasty exits from an investment, also, known
as quick flips, may result into failure of an IPO. The level of Debt to Equity ratio
coupled with the amount of dividends paid by the PE firm to itself are some other
deciding factors of an IPO s long term performance. (Mian and Rosenfeld, 1993)
study the long term performance of 85 reverse LBOs for a three year period
starting from one day after the firm goes public. They find that reverse LBOs show
significant positive cumulative abnormal returns and most of these returns are a
result of take over activity which occurs mostly in the second year after the IPO.
These findings were unlike that of Ritter (1991). Other earlier studies of Degeorge
and Zeckhauser (1993) and Holthausen and Larcker(1996) also indicate that RLBOs
outperform other general IPOs or the newly floated firms on the stock market.
Additionally, long term performance studies conducted on Venture Capital(VC)
backed IPOs have shown significant results in terms of returns. Specifically, the
study conducted on 934 US VC backed IPOs from 1972 to 1992 by (Brav and
Gompers, 1997) show that VC backed IPOs outperform the non VC backed IPOs in
equal weighted returns. They accredit this superior performance to efficient
management teams and corporate governance structures. Further research by

no toilet facilities with only dirty straw on the floor. They finally arrived at their
destination, glad to finally be breathing fresh air when the cattle car doors were
pulled open. Instead they are greeted with shouts of anger, with guns and bayonets
pointed at them, and with guards holding back police dogs ready to tear them
apart. A stench fills the air. They are at Birkenau, the second part of the Auschwitz
complex, called by some quot;the mother of all concentration camps. The
manpower to build the camp came from 200,000 Russian prisoners of war who
were forced to march from Russia to a camp at Lamsdord without any food.
During these early days the Russians received more abuse than the Polish prisoners
because they were more feared for their military might. They were looked upon by
Hess as expendable labor due to their inferior abilities and physical weakness. Of
the 12,000 prisoners who were sent to Birkenau in 1941, only 150 survived to the
following summer. Some prisoners were assigned to the most gruesome task that of
the Sonderkommando. These prisoners were forced to work in the crematoria,
burning the Jews who had just been gassed. All prisoners who were selected for
forced labor were tattooed with numbers on their left arms.

Consumption of sugary drink can lead to many health risks such as stroke, diabetes,
cancer and many more.
According to a new study by UC San Francisco, drinking sugary drinks can
accelerate aging as much as smoking does. The research team found that drinking a
20 ounce soda every day accelerates aging by about 4.6 years. People who drink a lot
of sugary soda had shorter telomeres, decreasing cells life cycle (Bonar). The length
of telomeres has already been associated with human lifespan.
In a three person case study, Dr. Mohamed Bassiouny studied the teeth of a diet
soda drinker and two drug addicts and found identical dental erosion among all 3.
When the enamel was worn away, teeth became more open to cavities and other
problems. With a pH of 3.2, diet soda is very acidic (Meredith). To avoid all these
problems, a simple solution would be to check the nutrition label on sodas and
other carbonated beverages. To calculate percent of sugar in a beverage, in the
nutrition label locate the number and percentage in grams of total carbohydrates.
For example, a label lists 28 grams of total carbohydrates and underneath it on the
line marked Sugars, it lists 6 grams of sugar. So then, divide the number of grams of
sugar by the number of carbohydrates to get 0.214. After that, multiply the number by
100 to eliminate the decimal, and by doing that, the total carbohydrates would be 21.4
38. John Cena Research Paper
If I could be like someone I know I would choose John Cena. John Cena is a
professional WWE wrestler, rapper and actor. John Cena is a well known wrestler,
but did you know he also has granted 500 children s wishes by working with the
Make A Wish Foundation. Thanks to John Cena s efforts of helping children out he
has become a well known and respected celebrity as well as a role model. I am not
into wrestling or the WWE but I thought about trying to find someone outside of my
comfort zone and try that out. This is why I choose John Cena.
John Cena s physical traits are one thing that makes him the person he is. He has a
huge body build because he works out to train for wrestling and this has also
resulted in him having a square chin. He typically wears clothing with matching
color, these cloths are usually gym shorts, a t shirt and a baseball cap. As you
know his character traits include him being a wrestler, but I didn t mention much
about his rapping and acting careers. He made an album back in 2005 for WWE that
is a bunch of rap songs about his life and wrestling and he has starred in a couple of
movies, one I have seen is the FRED movie in which he stars as Fred Figglehorn s
dad. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Another reason I would like to be John Cena is he has a nice body build and when
compared to me I look like a stick and he is a rock. My third reason to be John Cena
is he is famous and rich which is a dream a lot of people have but usually fail at but
the way he makes his money makes me laugh, he acts out fights, yes I said it
wrestling is fake. John Cena has taught me one thing from all of this, even though
you do the thing you love that doesn t mean you can t give back from what you
39. The Impact Of Family Engagement On A Child s
Development
Family engagement can be defined as a set of activities that help to include families
in a child s development such as their cognitive development and overall wellness
(HHS ED, 2016). There are many ways to go about family engagement, but Joyce
Epstein has created six types of involvement that these activities should revolve
around to aid familyengagement. The six types are: parenting, communicating,
volunteering, learning at home, decisions making, and collaborating with the
community. Joyce s framework is a guide for educators to create ways that will allow
family engagement in the classroom. This framework helps to create an inclusive
environment for all families, which is beneficial for the school, the classroom and the
child.
After discussing and researching the effects of family engagement on a child, it is
clear that having parents involved is overall positive for the child. It is crucial for this
involvement to start in the younger years of the child since it has been found that
home influences early on effect the development of cognitive, social and emotional
needs within a child. Not only is a child s wellbeing influenced by this involvement,
but their academics as well. It has been found that involvement enables children to
grow solid social skills, better behavior and higher achievement. It not only allows
for academic success while in school, but also later on in the child s life such as with
employment (Scully, Barbour, Roberts King, 2015). This
40. Keep Music Education in Schools Essay
Due to the declining economy, school boards around the country have decided to
cut funding to the music education programs. It is necessary to keep music
education in the American school system because it enhances the development of
skills that children will use for the rest of their lives. Musical development can
start as early as before birth. Hearing is the first sense that a baby acquires and it is
acquired in utero (McCutcheon 1). The first sounds that a baby hears are the mother
s voice and her heartbeat (McCutcheon 1). These sounds are familiar to babies after
they are born, which is why recordings of heartbeats are used to calm them
(McCutcheon 1). After birth, a baby s sense of hearing becomes sharper and they
absorb many... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Younger children can experience musicby hearing it, feeling it, and by experimenting
different pitches in their vocalizations (National Association for Music Education 2).
Adults can encourage musical development in infants by singing to them, exposing
them to different selections of music, and discussing music and its relations with
expression and feeling (National Association for Music Education 2). Music can be
encouraged by parents in different ways. Jim McCutcheon says, We decided to play
classical guitar music for him [unborn son] in utero through headphones placed on
her abdomen, and he came into the world very familiar with guitar sounds, and this
began a lifelong enjoyment of guitar music! It is very common to hear of mothers
playing or listening to music while pregnant and it is evident that the child heard and
remembered the music (McCutcheon 2). After birth and through childhood, children
can learn musical elements through fingerplays like eensy weensy spider and by
singing songs and being bounced on a parent s knee (McCutcheon 2). John
Feierabend says, Over the last 100 years, these two methods of interacting with
children have disappeared from our music culture. During ages 6 18 months, the
dendrites in the brain are the most responsive to stimulation (McCutcheon 2). Lee
Ann Kinner says, This is the time when they [children] should be most actively
stimulated not just with listening to

The day is March 1st 2014 and in three days time, the northern part of Florida will
be hit with a winter storm like that of the super storm in 1993. The main location of
this anomaly will start up in the northeastern states and move south down the
coastline of the east coast until it moves west towards Panama City the spring

Lets explore deeper into these two conditions (Scott, B., Gordon, N. M. 2014).
Hypothermia is caused when a person is exposed to low environmental
temperatures that may be sufficient enough to lower ones body heat. Hypothermia
becomes a series condition when you re body temperature gets below 95 Fahrenheit
when the body reaches 90 degrees Fahrenheit the normal shivering reaction ceases,
at this point a person condition will warrant immediate emergency treatment. Some
other side effects of hypothermia is mental confusion, and can cause the heart to
stop if blood flows back to the heart to fast. Hypothermia really affects the old and
the very young. (Hypothermia 2014) What is frostbite? According to Chesemore the
definition of frostbite is Localized freezing of tissue, usually of extremities exposed
to low temperatures, that results in ice crystals forming within cells, thereby killing
them (Chesemore, D. P. page 1.). What happens first is your skin will become very
cold and red, then numb, hard and then pale. Frostbite is most common on these areas

42. Becoming An Anesthesiologist Essay
The type of person that I would classify myself as, is one who enjoys to be social,
while also having a drive for success. I have always been a person who is
hardworking, whether that may be achieving great grades on my report card, or
waking up at five o clock in the morning for football. Whenever I may encounter a
situation that requires a great amount of thinking for the best possible outcome, I
will always be the one to observe my options by using logic and reasoning, rather
than my instinct or gut feeling. My results from the Meyer Briggs personality test
have me to conclude that I generally am a social person. What had told me this was
the part that informed me I was, 34% extravert (Jung Typology Test). The other part
that my personality test told me was that I was ready and willing to make decisions

This has been a dream of mine since I was around 11 years old, but I have gone off
of it due to the requirements. It is possible, but to become an anesthesiologist, a lot
must go in. The average salary for an anesthesiologist is between $200,000 to
$400,000, depending on the location. Students who are looking to become an
anesthesiologist must, completing a four year bachelor s degree, students then
take four years of graduate education leading to a degree in medicine (M.D.) or
osteopathy (D.O.). After receiving a medical degree, students must complete four
more years in an anesthesiology residency (American Society of Anesthesiologists
ASA 2017). It is a very tough industry to acquire a job in and there are very few
anesthesiologists in the field, with there only being, 790 2,710 (U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics 2017) currently in Ohio. Becoming an anesthesiologist is not
something that I have in mind currently, but it may be something that I would look
into if I ever wanted to fall back on a science based
43. Analysis Of Room By Emma Donoghue
The book Room by Emma Donoghue is loosely based on the Josef Fritzl case,
where a man held his daughter captive, repeatedly raped her, beat her and fathered
8 children with her. The purpose of Room was to not focus attention on the
psychopaths who commit such heinous crimes, but rather the love that Jack and
Ma share in their tragic situation. The book does not present Jack as a victim, he is
oblivious to the situation he is in, it is the only reality he s ever known. The first
half of the book focuses on Ma and Jack being trapped in the room, while the second
half of the book focuses on what happens after they have escaped.
The main characters in this novel are Ma and Jack, who are the two characters who
live in the room. T Old Nick who ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Ma and Jack often play games and sing songs together, and Jack sometimes like any
normal five year old child throws tantrums, which Ma helps him get through and
rationalise the situation.
I am going to be using two extracts one from the first half of the novel while Ma
and Jack are trapped in the room and one from the second half of the novel after
they ve escaped and are adjusting to life outside of the confinements of the room.
The first extract is where Jack is describing a day in the room, the second extract is
where Ma and Jack are planning how they can escape from the room, the third
extract is from when they have escaped and Ma is talking to the reporter.
The non literary text I have chosen is a 2008 newspaper article from The Observer,
My father chose me for himself. This article was written by Caroline Davies a
month after the Fritzl case to light. The article is focusing on the horror and the
abnormality of the situation and the victims involved, it discusses the reprecussions
of Josef Fritzl s actions upon his daughter Elisabeth and the seven children after
they escaped. I have chosen this article because as I have mentioned it focuses on
the Fritzl case which is what the book Room was inspired by, however it also
contrasts the novel as in the newspaper article the children and Elisabeth are

capacitor replacement may vary by plus or minus 10% of the strength of the one
being replaced. 4. If capacitors are installed in parallel, the
45. Alfred Lord Tennyson Imagery
Although Alfred Lord Tennyson s poem, O were I loved as I desire to be , was
written in 1842, the theme can be compared to Rostand s novel, Cyrano de
Bergerac, written fifty five years later. Both Alfred Lord Tennyson and Rostand are
urging the reader to consider that love isn t as easy as it seems. However Lord
Tennyson addresses this theme through the use of Imagery and Rostand relies on
Personification. From Start to finish, metaphors are used to emphasize the theme of
love in the book, Cyrano de Bergeracand the poem O were I loved as I desire to be.
For example, the author uses the quote A little longer! She is always here. Please I
must find some way of meeting her., to explain the Christian is dying love to see
Roxane. Concluded in the metaphor, we can tell that Christian has loved Roxane
throughout his life, and is longing to feel her love. Alfred Lord Tennyson, Author
of O were I loved as I desire to be, also used metaphors to lead to the original theme
of love. Proved through the quote To wait death mute careless of all its Ills , the
speaker will do anything for his love even if it is... Show more content on

Cyrano De Bergerac uses imagery to show the readers what it feels like to be truly
loved, while the poem uses imagery to show how love can change anything and
everything if it is strong. Rostand, the author of Cyrano De Bergerac , uses the
quote I I am going to be a storm a flame... to let the readers fall into the same
atmosphere as Cyrano and feel how he is feeling in that moment of time. When
Cyrano says that he will be a Storm a Flame , he means that his heart is burning
bright. Alfred Lord Tennyson uses his imagery in a different way, as demonstrated in
the quote fresh water springs come up through the bitter brine, the water changes
substances, just like how love can change someone s emotions,actions,and

It continued to say that we should not take in or embraced and attraction to the
Pharisees; even though there were some good and faithful Pharisees that practiced
their religion with respect and dignity and honestly had doubts about the Messiah
coming. The translation continued to say that the scribes and Pharisees were seen
as negative examples because they were living wrongly and taught their followers
to live the wrong way and therefore serve the cause of paraenesis explained by
Garland, passium; and Sand, Matthaus, pp. 452. (A Critical and Exegetical
Commentary on the Gospel According to Saint Matthew, Davies). Matthew 23 does
not disapprove the scribes and Pharisees for not having faith or believing in the
Messiah, instead convict them by their own standards. Matthew 23 continued to say
that Pharisees and the scribes were hypocrites because the presupposition was
possible because they were heirs of Jewish tradition. This hypocrisy immediately
told Jesus that some Jews were not faithful to their own heritage. Since the scribes
and Pharisees knew Moses, but did not live with him (vv. 2 3) (A Critical and
Exegetical Commentary on the Gospel According to Saint Matthew, Davies). The
information gathered by Jesus about the Pharisees and scribes started depicting that

47. The Inner City Of Los Angeles
Growing up in the inner city of Los Angeles taught me many things; make sure you
re inside before the street lights come on, never wear all red or blue, and make
sure you get a good education so that one day you can leave the inner city behind. I
was fortunate enough to have both a mother and a father who stressed the
importance of excelling academically because attending an inner city, LA county,
public school did not instill a love of academics in myself or my peers. Our
teachers had checked out, the curriculum was not inspiring or relatable, and
everyday there was yet another fight happening during recess. As time went on I
witnessed my classmates and I take completely different paths. The strong support
system I had at home proved effective. As I went on to go to college, many of my
peers dropped out, the dismal state of our public school system had clearly failed
them. During my undergraduate studies, the stories of my old classmates did not
leave my mind. I remained deeply intrigued with the struggles of inner city people
of color and the mobility they are granted. I began to volunteer at ArtStart, a non
profit program that taught previously incarcerated youth the art of poetry, and I was
immediately intrigued by the stories of what had led these children to a life of
crime at such a young age. In these students, I saw my childhood friends who had
went down the same path many years before and I wanted to know why; where did

48. A Sorority Is A Subculture Or A Segment Of Society s...
All around the world sororities are a subculture or a segment of society s
population on most college campuses (Macionis 64). These sororities have their
own language, norms, beliefs, and values. Most college campuses have many
charters or different sororities to choose from when a student wants to pledge a
sorority. On the Saint Francis University campus, there are seven sororities that a
female student can belong to. Each sorority has a different philanthropy which is a
foundation that the sorority stands behind. For example Delta Phi Epsilon stands
behind the Educational Foundation, this foundation helps women get the
education that they deserve. Sororities are known for creating a bond between
girls that last a life time. The sororities have their own language, they use words like
pledge, bid, big, little, active, lavaliere, letters, and philanthropy. A pledge is a person
who accepts a bid, and a bid is an invitation to a specific chapter at their school
(Nakagoshi 1). When a female student wants to pledge a sorority they interview for a
bid and the sorority decides if they want to have the new student pledge or not. If the
pledge gets the bid then the student gets a big, a big is an older girl who has been
part of the sorority for a year of more, and the big is like a big sister they are
supposed to care of their little or new pledge (Nakagoshi 1). An active is a member
of the sorority that has been part of the sorority for a few years. When a sister is
49. Oxidative Stress Essay
During physical activity, the body undergoes many changes in the muscles, lungs,
heart, and bones. The heart rate increases as the activity level increases, this happens
to supply more oxygenated blood to the muscles. When there is an increase in
training it decreases the resting heart rate, and the bloodpressure decreases due to
blood vessel formation (Larson et al. 2012). An individual who may use this to
supplement their physical activity would be someone most likely trying to avoid
disease. For instance, in stage 1 hypertension, unhealthy, or has an obese gene.
Sustained high blood pressure can result in hypertension which is a precursor to the
development of cardiac and/or renal hypertrophy (Duarte et al. 2001). Seen in prior
animal studies and in Edwards et al. (2007) the patient must be at a specific range
(over 120/80 mm Hg) in order for quercetin supplementation to show effects.
Also in Askari et al. (2012), they found that Vitamin C was needed for quercetin
supplementation to decrease oxidative stress. When one exercises excessively there
is an increase in oxygen consumption which can lead to oxidative stress ... Show more

The change in blood pressure can be rapid in these activities, and the heart is required
to pump faster causing strain on the blood vessels. The main reason as to why they
would take quercetin supplements is possibly they have a family history of
hypertension and want to take all preventive measures that are available. I
recommend that if the individual has talked to a physician and taking quercetin has
no adverse effects on their health, then it would be of no harm to test it out for 3
months and see if there is any difference. I, however, would not recommend this for a
healthy individual to reduce blood pressure since no studies have confirmed

Background: Eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating are life
threatening conditions that affect a person s emotional and physical health. Anorexia
nervosa is the intense fear of gaining weight and having an abnormally low body
weight. Individuals restrict the amount of food they consume. Bulimia Nervosais
eating large amounts of food and getting rid of the extra calories by force vomiting
or misusing laxatives. Abuse during childhood has long been hypothesized to be a
risk factor for the development of eating disorders (Harlow, Rayworth, and Wise,

By Rayworth, B., Wise, L., Harlow, B., 2004, Epidemiology, Vol. 15, 271 278. In
the article above Rayworth and others (Rayworth, et al (2004)), the researchers
conducted a case control study from Harvard Study of Moods and Cycles. Women
between the age of 36 and 44 in the years of 1995 through 1997 were sampled. The
women returned questionnaires providing information on their menstrual
characteristics, current depressive symptoms, and history of major depression.
Most studies focus only on sexual abuse without analyzing physical abuse. This
study concluded that sexual abuse without physical abuse was not associated with
eating disorders. Women with histories of anorexia or bulimia and those who met
the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, reported
some childhood abuse. Sexual abuse without physical abuse was not associated
with eating disorders, whereas physical abuse without sexual abuse was still
associated with a 2 fold increased risk of eating disorders. The joint effect of both
physical and sexual abuse resulted in a 3 fold increased risk of eating disorder
symptoms and a nearly 4 fold increased risk of eating disorders that met DSM IV
criteria. (Rayworth, et all
