2. Nobel Prize Research Paper
Nobel Prize
In this paper I am going to discuss the Nobel Prize. Firstly I will inform you of the
history of the prize, secondly its origin, and how it is awarded today. After that I will
discuss the 2010 Nobel Prize for Medicine, 1901 Nobel Prize for Physics, and the
1930 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Alfred Nobel
The Nobel Prize was named after a Swedish inventor and industrialist, Alfred
Bernhard Nobel. Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm, Sweden on October 21,
1833. He was born into a wealthy family, although due to the misfortune of losing
building materials on sunken barges, Immanuel Nobel, Alfred s father, was forced
into bankruptcy the same year Alfred was born. In 1842 the family moved to St.
Petersburg, Russia. Alfred ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Although he started working on IVF in the 1950s it took him about 30 years to
make it successful, and about 60 years until he won the Nobel Prize. Edwards is a
professor at the University of Cambridge England, he also founded Bourn Hall, the
first IVF center. Today, vitro fertilization is responsible for over 4 million births
worldwide. Edwards discovered that an embryo can be fertilized in a Petri dish in
a laboratory ((4) http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/2010
/adv.html). The steps of IVF are started by prescribing a fertility medication to
control the timing of the eggs release. They monitor the ovaries using ultrasound to
make sure the multiple eggs can be collected and that they are developing the eggs
properly and that his is called ovulation induction. To retrieve the eggs a minor
operation is required, sedation and anesthesia is used to prevent discomfort. A
hollow needle is inserted through the pelvic cavity into the ovary to collect the
eggs. Now the sperm is needed for completion of the procedure, this is collected by
ejaculation. The process of insemination now begins; a single sperm is injected
into the egg for fertilization. The egg is monitored to make sure cell division is
achieved. It is now considered an embryo after it is fertilized. Three days after the
egg is retrieved from the ovary, and fertilization is achieved then it is inserted into
the women s uterus. The two to four cell embryos is placed
3. The Ice Storm Chapter 1 Summary
Homework #11
1. Compared to Flashes of War, The Ice Storm by Rick Moody is completely
different from Katey Schultz s book. Not only be genre, but also by writing styles.
Reading through the first chapter I was a bit shocked with Moody s explicitness.
The book is very sexual and carries an uncomfortable vibe. The first character
introduced, Benjamin Hood, is an odd character to me. I ve never read a book with a
character like Benjamin. While the beginning has turned out to be a bit confusing for
me, after reading the first three chapters, I am curious as to how this book will
continue.
2. I believe Moody does this to give readers a look into current events and what it
was like living in the year 1972. It allows readers who were not living during the
seventies or too young to understand what was happening, trending, and important
during the time. I was confused when Moody wrote, No Nobel Peace Prize for 1972
(page 4). After doing some research I found out that the Nobel Prize was not awarded
nineteen times. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Since each chapter is in the perspective of a different character, Moody gives the
readers insight to the characters specific feelings on same events. Elena s
perspective caught my attention the most. While reading in Elena s point of view
many questions arose for me about her. Elena is very closed off, she knows her
husband is cheating on her; her children are growing up and getting into dangerous
positions. Elena s backstory was incredibly interesting. None of her family ever
showed affection towards her. Her father was only there to pay bills and give her a
roof over her head, her mother was an alcoholic whom she only saw for a few
hours in the evening, and her brother raised her in an unethical way. Since Elena is
so closed off it makes me curious as to what her children think about her or why she
felt the responsibility of going to check on her mother every time she threatened to
commit suicide, even though her mother never showed her any
4. Anorexia Vs Bulimia
Eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia cause dramatic weight fluctuation,
interfere with normal daily life, and can permanently affect their health.Generally,
eating disorders involve self critical, negative thoughts and feelings about body
weight and food, and eating habits that disrupt normal body function and daily
activities. People with anorexia have an extreme fear of weight gain and a
distorted view of their body size and shape. As a result, they strive to maintain a
very low body weight. Some restrict their food intake by dieting, fasting, or
excessive exercise. People with anorexia try to eat as little as possible, and take in
as few calories as they can, frequently obsessing over food intake. Bulimia is
characterized by habitual binge eating and purging.
Some research suggests that media images contribute to the rise in the incidence of
eating disorders. Most celebrities in advertising, movies, TV, and sports programs are
very thin, and this may lead girls to think that the ideal of beauty is extreme thinness.

Both disorders can involve compulsive exercise or other forms of purging food eaten,
such as by self induced vomiting or laxative use. Although anorexia and bulimia are
very similar, people with anorexia are usually very thin and underweight but those
with bulimia may be a normal weight or even overweight. With anorexia, the body
goes into starvation mode and the lack of nutrition can cause a drop in blood pressure,
pulse, and breathing rate,hair loss and fingernail breakage, loss of periods, lanugo
hair, lightheadedness and inability to concentrate, anemia, swollen joints, brittle
bones. With bulimia, frequent vomiting and lack of nutrients can cause constant
stomach pain, damage to the stomach and kidneys, tooth decay, loss of periods, loss
of the mineral potassium which can contribute to heart problems and even
5. Persuasive Essay On Healthy Food
There seems to be far too much confusion around what healthy eating really is and
how to do it. Everywhere you look there are food products being portrayed as
nutritious when clearly they aren t, we have health organisations in Australia
promoting the wrong message and our sports role models and health experts
promoting foods which are still unhealthy it s any wonder society is sicker than
ever before. Did you know that 60%+ of Australians are overweight or obese and
that the main cause of death is cardiovascular disease? There appears to be a
correlation between the increase in refined, fried and fatty foods and the rise in
weight gain. WHAT IS HEALTHY EATING? Healthy eating is eating foods which
infuse the digestive system with nutrients which are used to rebuild and repair
tissue as well as give the body an abundance of energy. For the digestive system to
work at optimal levels it needs to be able to secrete, digest, absorb and defecate
regularly. Foods which are ideal for the digestive system are foods which haven t
been tampered with and are still alive! Our body is alive, therefore we need to eat
alive foods such as leafy greens, vegetables and fruits, as well as nuts, seeds,
legumes and whole grains. These foods are cleansing, nutrient rich and give us the
most energy. WHAT ISN T HEALTHY EATING? Eating foods which are highly
processed, refined (wheat and sugar), fatty and fried, tampered with etc... are not
good for us in large doses. The body is pretty powerful
6. Moral Theory Of Lawrence Kohlberg
Lawrence Kohlberg was a theorist and a scholar of child growth. He focused on the
ethical development of kids and how they mature the wisdom of right, justice, and
wrong. Kohlberg noted that teenagers underwent certain phases during moral growth.
Through his observations, he developed a theory that human beings develop from
one phase to another through an invariant pattern, not missing any stage. His
conclusions have been proven by critical cultural studies conducted throughout the
world. These phases were at levels known as pre conventional, conventional and post
conventional morality.
Level One: Pre Conventional Morality
Stage One: Obedience and Punishment Orientation
Stage One is alike to the first phase of the ethical thinking. The ... Show more content

They trust that individuals should obey the beliefs of the family and the society and
act well at all times. Having good behavior typically means that a person should have
respectable reasons and good personal feelings such as trust (Kohlberg, 1971).
Stage Four: Maintaining the Social Order
At this phase, a person should reason when interacting with the family members and
close friends. One should make an effort of understanding the needs and wants of
others and attempt to help. Respondents at this phase are more anxious with the
whole society. They put more importance in observing laws and carrying out duties
that ensure social order is upheld (Kohlberg Kramer, 1969). For example,
individuals should reason on the possible effects of breaking the law before doing
so. For instance, it could probably lead to chaos rejecting the functioning of society.
Level Four: Post conventional Morality
Stage Five: Social Contract and Individual Rights
At stage five, individuals aim at ensuring that the community keeps performing.
Nevertheless, a society functioning smoothly is not essentially the best because a
society needs to be well structured. Stage five focuses on the components of a healthy
society and those at this stage think of the community in a theoretical way by
considering the values and rights that the society ought to maintain (Kohlberg, 1971).
Moreover, they trust that a healthy community is a social pact in which all individuals
7. Birthday Mark by Nathaniel Hawthorne
The discovery of electricity opened the door to many mysteries that challenged
scientists of the nineteenth century. Nathaniel Hawthorne writes of some challenges
that man could run into during the exploration and application of new technology in
The Birthmark. These challenges are not entirely physical but they are more so about
an internal struggle within Victorian mindsets. In The Birthmark there are only three
characters: Aylmer, a scientist, Georgiana, Aylmer s wife, and Aminadab, Aylmer s
lab assistant. Hawthorne isolates the characters in their caste to present individual
viewpoints of a tragic flaw. Each character promotes innocence but they are caught up
in traditional values. Hawthorne writes of an honest but fatal mistake... Show more

His assistant, Aminadab is a sub human in his eyes (Fairbanks, 103). Aminadab is
a complete contrast to Aylmer but none of Aylmer s experiments would be possible
without the help of this human machine (Hawthorne, 298). He is of great
importance to Aylmer, but Hawthorne makes it clear that Aylmer thinks of himself
much higher than the common man. Aminadab s importance to the story lies
within the fact that he is an invisible character everywhere except the lab. His
profound contrast to Aylmer s character away from Georgiana provides the reader
with a clearer picture of the mad scientist as he attempts to overthrow nature. When
Aylmer fails to do so, Aminadab laughs triumphantly at the tragic hero s attempt to
control nature. These two characters show opposing thoughts and reactions to the
murder of Aylmer s now perfect, dead bride. Hawthorne s heavy use of symbolism
carries a lot of undertones that reveals irony on many levels as he wraps up the
story. The most obvious is that Aylmer murders his lovely bride when he perfects
Nature. Georgiana is enamored by Aylmer s experiments even though he often fails.
She gains confidence and submits herself willingly but only to vicariously pursue
happiness through her husband s experiment. Knowing that her birthmark makes
her an object of horror to the one she loves, she finds life to be a burden and is
willing to risk her own life for both of their happiness (Hawthorne 292).

resources for compiling the research proposal. The author expresses their concern for
the cost and timeliness of a full out research study and so they decided to conduct a

treatment. Altschuler (2018) suggests that animals can be used to dramatically

Altschuler (2018) did not include the procedure, but I would measure the variables
by using a medical protocol of PTSD patients symptoms or a self report from the
participants
There were no results, as this was a strong research proposal. But, there were three
case studies that Altschuler (2018) analyzed and they all had strong support for use
of AAT in PTSD patient treatment. However, this could be bias due to the nature of
the proposal. The author is trying to gain interest and fundraise for the study to be
conducted. According to Altschuler (2018) the results displayed in the media support
his ideas of the need for AAT in medical practice when treating PTSD patients.
Again, Altschuler s (2018) hypothesis cannot be supported do to the nature of this
research proposal as it is not supported with scientific evidence. But, media supports

One issue that has impacted the landscape of collegiate sports is the current
situation at Baylor University. Athletes, specifically football players have been
accused of acts of sexual violence. This is a big problem but not where the
controversy ends. Art Briles, head football coach, Ian McCaw, athletic director, and
Ken Starr, president of the university, have all resigned for their roles in failing to
investigate allegations of misconduct. The biggest issue as a sports manager is that
the people in positions of power at the Baylor all failed to fully investigate
allegations of sexual violence against football players for the university. In multiple

With proper agile adoption, all of these problems can be solved. Therefore, agile can
transform an underperforming team into a team that provides value to their customer
in a timely fashion. Understanding How Agile Works Because many organizations
are switching to agile methods over traditional methods such as the systems
development lifecycle, one must understand the various facets of the agile
methodology. It is necessary to know why agile makes teams more productive, what
form of agile is most commonly used, and the different roles of team members in an
agile system. In order to fully comprehend agile systems, it is vital to understand why
traditional methods have been replaced. When adopting agile, it is important and
highly recommended that all members on the team know how agile works. By
educating the team s members, it will better ensure that your team will yield its
highest potential for productivity. Incorrect adoption of agile may iii пїј leave team
members confused, hindering their productivity. Studies have shown that most
members of an organization are unfamiliar with agile terms and how it works.
According to OneDesk s, Agile Adoption Statistics 2012, most executives and

At my nursing job, I would describe our organization as a not for profit, IDN. Our
health care system included over 25 acute care hospitals and has a network of
clinics, outpatient services, and home care. As a not for profit we engage in
community outreach activities and services to serve the local community. In addition
we operate under a corporate structure with standardization of quality services at the
core of the mission or our system. We have a corporate top level administration.
Corporate services also include the Risk Management, Occupational Health, Safety
and Security, and System Best Practices teams. Each individual facility has a
leadership structure including the C Suite CEO, CCO, CFO and CNO. The next
layer of management is directors, usually overseeing a service line. Unit based
senior managers oversee each unit and charge nurses oversee the day to day
management of the employees. We manage under a pool of self insurance captives
and have incentives to cut costs and meet corporate bench marks.
Each facility operates under the common mission, vision, and values. The corporate

The concentration of Ir was at least an order of magnitude higher than the background
values and this is characteristic of most Upper Permian and Lower Triassic
boundaries. The scientists go on to say that the existence of a rich Ir anomaly on a
global scale within the K/T boundary layers of both marine and continental facies
has been interpreted as highly impressive evidence for an impact origin. Another
discovery that may serve as a marker of an event is microspherules. A variety of
microsherules have been discovered in the PTB layers of the Meishan section (Xu
et al., 1989). The origin of the microspherules could be multiple. They are small
circular indentations in the rocks and the most abondent elements are Si or Si Al.
Mircospherules are similar to cosmic dust. Since a large amount of microspherules

15. Learning Theories Of Learning And Teaching Essay
Learning Model and Theories in Practice Sheila Morgan Richard R. Wiley School of
Education At Walden University Abstract Education has long been the center of
reform with new ideas about learning and teaching. Educators are regularly
introduced to new teaching strategies, curricula and rigorous standards in an effort to
provide effective instruction to students. However, the pursuit of proficiency in
mathematics and reading through the use of research based methods requires an
understanding of the learning models and theories that both drive instruction and
learning in the classroom. In this paper I will address the evolution of ideas about
learning and teaching in education as well as address the shifts in learning in the 21st
century. The Evolution of Learning Theories In the last fifty (50) years there has
been significant contributions in the field of education in regards to how children
learn, and the models in which learning theories have been developed and utilized
within the classroom setting. Additionally, in as recent as the last twenty years the
most notable of shifts has been that of students as sponges where teachers lectured
and students listened, and took notes; to that of learning as a process of active
engagement (Cuban 1993). The former paradigm being rooted in and is the basis of
behaviorist learning theories. Essentially, training the individual or student to respond
to conditioned stimuli. This method proved to be an antiquated
16. Examples Of Gender Typing In Early Childhood
A. The concept of gender typing in early childhood is an affiliation to activities,
objects, or personal traits that would define a person s sex. This mental connection
may be suggested by the parents or the environment the child grows up in that allows
the child to conform to the social norms or cultural stereotypes of that environment.
Although, gender typing might be considered an external factor, gender schema
theory suggests that children are pre programmed to construct or establish beliefs
about the sexes. The child will formulate gender stereotyped preferences and
demeanors from others. One example could be picture day at school and the child
formulates that girls wear dresses and boys wear slacks by observing those around
them. Another example can be when children are on the playground where girls are
more likely to be seen playing house and boys playing war. Since gender schema
theory is an information processing approach, it further explains that environmental
strains and a child s cognitions work together to pattern gender role evolution. B.
Children s social environment to include the child s cognitive limitation contributes
to rigid gender stereotyping in early childhood by allowing the child to see or imitate
what is socially acceptable. This is further propagated by gender segregation, gender
stereotyped activities/professions, and gender typing by society in the media.
Gender segregation, which could be construed to be an early creation of a sub culture,

youth rehabilitation. The youth involved in the juvenile justice system has a history
of poor academic education. In rehabilitation, the youth has a right to receive
education, such as getting caught up with their school work. Juveniles need a strong
education programs, so they are inspired to finish their studies and pursue careers in
the future. Another solution for juvenile justice is detention centers. A judge can
send a juvenile to a detention facility. Detention facility are temporary housing for the
youth who committed crimes. Detention sentences are usually short term instead of
long term. It is a wakeup call for juveniles and won t commit that crime again. Home
confinement is another solution than sending them to prison. The juvenile can only
leave their house for school, community service, or counseling. Meaning contacts can
have an impact on the juvenile. Family treatment, such as interventions, with the
youth can strengthen the family bond of the child and decrease any criminal activity

Like I said, without oxygen, no one would be here right now. The sun is a natural
resource as well. The sun is the Earth s main source of energy. Chemistry has a big
affect on society today. We do have cell phones. Internet and the space race did
happen, so therefor I am typing this chemistry paper right now. We have medicines
and vaccines out there that allow people to live longer lives if a sickness occurs.
Cell phones are one of the biggest advances from chemistry in my mind. They allow
us with much easier and faster communication with the people around us or even on
the other side of the
world. Satellite TV is another big advancement of chemistry. TV provides us with
entertainment and alerts. Technologies today are so advanced it is crazy to think
about what life would have been like without these things. Selfish of me to say, I am
glad I did not have to live back in the times without advanced technologies like there
is today. Technology is affecting society today. Teen s without their cell phone is like
chemistry without the periodic table of the elements. Little kids and their video
games have become the main focus point. What new big thing is coming out? That is
all people seem to care about anymore. Technology has ruined our society, not saying
that it isn t just wonderful, but it has destroyed our generation. We get to greedy to
get the latest hottest technology that has come out and forget what life is like if you

23. Biography of Isaac Newton Essay
Isaac Newton was a key figure in the development of the age of reason. His
achievements revolutionized physics and mathematics and he has been
recognized as an undisputed genius (Gardner 13). Newton was a intriguing
individual who played an important role in the advancement of the scientific
community of his time and of today. Newton was born on Christmas day in 1642 to
a widowed farming mother. When he was three his mother left him in the care of
his grandmother, so she could remarry (Westfall 1). After being widowed for a
second time she came back to help care for her son. At the age of twelve he was
sent to The King s School in Grantham to continue his education. Here he began to
develop a growing love for books and an interest in... Show more content on

He also invented the methods of calculus and began his research of optics and the
color spectrum (da C. Andrade 50). The unfortunate thing about Newton s
astounding discoveries was that he never published any of them until later in his
life, which caused much conflict. This period was the prime of Newton s interest
in math and science, as time progressed his interest faded towards alchemistry
(chemical experimentation) and interpreting Biblical prophecy of which his written
works far outnumber those on natural philosophy and mathematics (Gardner 13).
Despite his in depth involvement in logic and natural philosophy, Newton still
passionately believed in the necessity of God. He felt that only a divine being
could create a universe of such harmonic balance, and that God periodically
intervened to keep everything intact and working properly (White 329). Newton s
character astounded some and outraged others. Newton was very withdrawn from
the world, all his works he studied and performed in isolation and seldom shared his
ideas with others. The delay of the publication of his works in natural philosophy
was due to his extreme fear of criticism. Newton s greatest work Philosophiea
Naturalis Principia Mathmatica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy),
often just called the Principia, wasn t published until 1686, after Edmond Halley had
convinced him to publish it despite Newton s fear of his devout critic, Robert Hooke
(Weisstein 1). Newton
24. Analysis Of Miss Brill
Analysis of the Point of View in Miss Brill
Katherine Mansfield s short story, Miss Brill, is a well written story of an elderly,
unmarried woman in Europe. In Miss Brill, Katherine Mansfield uses stream of
consciousness point of view to show alienation and loneliness, appearances and
reality, and Miss Brill s perceptions as she attempts to make herself fit in with the
park goers. Miss Brill is an older lady who makes a living teaching English to school
children and reading newspapers to an old invalid gentleman (Wilson 2: 139). Her
joy in life comes in her visits to the park on Sunday where she is notorious for
sitting in on other people s lives (Wilson 2: 140). It is there that her ritualistic,
monotonous journey that Miss Brill refers to as a play takes place.
From the beginning of the story, it becomes apparent that Miss Brill is the epitome
of the definition of lonely. She starves to have just a little warmth and
companionship. In the story, she has a fur necklet that she tenderly caresses as if it
were a pet that she rubs the life into the little dim eyes (Mansfield 175). Loneliness
in Miss Brill is also shown through the music in the park. The loneliness is shown
through her perception of how the music is like someone playing with only the
family to listen (Mansfield 175). The whole time, Miss Brill thinks of herself as
part of this family playing the music, but in reality she is just an on site observer.
On this particular Sunday, it was the first day of the Season so the band seemed
louder and gayer (Mansfield 175). However, Miss Brill is somewhat disappointed that
there are only two people near where she is seated (Wilson 2: 136) Because they do
not talk, her little world that she is rebuffed by that world and her fantasy falls apart
(Wilson 2: 140).
When the characters in the play are silent, Miss Brill imagines what they must be
saying. However, their silence makes eavesdropping on their lives quite difficult
(Wilson 2: 145). She also has a tendency to judge the characters, seeing them in
ways that others in the garden likely view her. For instance, she finds many of the
older people in the garden odd, silent, nearly all old, and from the way they stared
they looked as though
25. Disadvantages Of Lay Magistrates
Lay magistrate, are normal people, who have no law skills and are under qualified
people that give necessary verdicts in magistrates courts. They have been named as
lay magistrates so that they can be distinguished from a qualified magistrate. The
magistrate s courts have been introduced centuries ago. Today there are significant
numbers of persons who sit and run magistrates court in UK, as a part time job.
They normally take their seat and attend legal proceedings as a Bench of two or
three, because if only one magistratewill sit he will have constrained functionality in
carrying out his work. Each magistrates sitting in the court carry out a specific
function as assigned to them, they deal with criminal and civil proceedings, and they
also sit in primary the opening of criminal cases. Moreover the magistrates also
consider requisitions of applications which have been rejected by local authority and
give them legal permits .However the training, background and appointment of lay
magistrates differ from that of magistrates.
In England and Wales lay magistrates are delegated by the Lord Chancellor on the
part of the monarch and effectively upon the counsel of local advisory committees.

26. War Communism And The Russian Civil War
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

The chosen one, the hometown hero, the traitor, the king, the greatest of all time, or
also known as Lebron James has been through what most kids can t even imagine.
Lebron grew up without a father and moved from house to house, but now he is one
of the most successful men in the world. On April 4, 2014 Lebron is the youngest
player ever to reach 23,000 career points in the National Basketball Association
(NBA), beating Michael, Kareem, and Kobe to this amazing achievement Lebron
still thanks his mother for what she fought through to get him to where he is at
now. Gloria James was only 16 at the time she had Lebron, and Lebrons biological
father, Anthony McClelland was an ex convict uninterested in being a parent, and
he left Gloria to raise Lebron by herself. This is why Lebron uses his mothers
maiden name and not his father s last name. Gloria had many personal problems
and had trouble keeping a steady job. Gloria tried to give Lebron a good life she
just had struggles doing it. Gloria tried to give Lebron everything she could, at a
young age Lebron loved sports so she bought him a miniature basketball hoop.
Lebron James struggled at school, and at making friends because he was
embarrassed about his home life; Lebron found a way to get away from his home
life with basketball and football. Lebron showed magnificent skills in basketball
and football at an early age. Lebron was a freak athlete in middle school. His football

28. Evaluation Of 30 Day Hospital Readmission Using A
Dataset...
II. Literature Review
Silverstein et al. in [24] were to develop and validate predictors of 30 day hospital
readmission using a dataset of more than 29,000 patient s record over the age of 65
and to compare prediction models that used alternate comorbidity classifications. In
these paper they were capable to identify the risk factors of hospital readmission and
calculated the risk of all the attributes by using prediction model. An important
limitation of their study was that it did not directly include information on patients
abilities to perform activities of daily living or other measures of physical function.
Strack et al. in [25] studied the impact of HbA1c on readmissions. They used
Multivariable logistic regression to fit the relationship between the measurement of
HbA1c and early readmission while controlling for covariates such as demographics,
severity and type of the disease, and type of admission. The results showed that the
measurement of HbA1c was performed infrequently (18.4%) in the inpatient setting.
Their analyzed that the profile of readmission differed significantly in patients where
Hba1c checked in the setting of a primary diabetes diagnosis when compared to those
with a primary circulatory disorder. But cannot addressed cause and effect although
the data provide strong support for development of protocols to examine this
hypothesis directly.

readmissions in general
29. Social Interaction Sociology
Social Interaction is the process in which two or more people act and react to
those around them. A field of study called Microsociology or Social Interaction
was created by a sociologist by the name of Erving Goffman. Goffman argued that
these significant figures are important in the field of sociology and should be
consider carefully. Social interaction includes several different types of behavior.
This field called Social interaction is divided into five concepts such as Exchange,
competition, Cooperation, Conflict, Coercion. In our everyday lives we use each of
these concepts, whether it s in our schools, homes, work, etc.
Exchange
Exchange is one of the most basic concept of social interaction. Whenever an
individual interacts to receive something from another individual that, he/she has
given to; That is how exchange has been taken place. Exchange is being taken place
in my school the University of Belize where by, I, the student is being offered an
education from my school and in return I should give them money. Another
example of how exchange is being made in our everyday lives where in a work
site, the employee accomplishes a role of task for their work and in return they
receive a salary. Also for instance in a competition the runner up should show case
his/her talent and in return they received an award by the person who s hosting the
competition. All these scenarios are how exchange happens in our lives. All
exchanges must be equal or fair between each
30. The Policy Design For Recreational Cannabis Model
The picture is quite complex and at odds with federal legislation, posing a major
challenge in terms of public policy design, implementation and evaluation. In the
next sections, for analytical purposes, the policy cycle will be divided in two major
models: the legalization for recreational purposes (4 states) and legalization for
medical purposes (in all of its forms) (33 cases).
3.Design stage
3.1Policy design for recreational cannabis model
The main goal pursued by the legalization policies is to convert marijuana in a
tradable commodity, under similar conditions and treatment given to alcohol and
tobacco. In this sense, the policy approach is mainly directed to market development.
The full legalization of cannabis in Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska (as
well as the district of Columbia), is a recent phenomenon that started in 2012. In
all cases the process was triggered by ballot system, following the path inaugurated
by California in 1996 where the medical use of cannabis was approved (Anderson
and Rees, 2014). However, in some states like Oregon and Alaska, the process have
started earlier with two previous failed attempts, where the same proposition was
defeated by ballot system.
The political and civic platform for the full legalization was largely supported by
national activists groups such as NORML, the Marijuana Policy Project, Drug Policy
Alliance and wide networks of scientific and medical communities, human rights
activists, civil rights
32. The Ethics Of The Bridge
Ethics:
The bridge we have created is ethical in the sense that it has a dependable purpose
relative to its location, and its uses. By implementing a floating bridge, in a non
linear terrain in the city of Champong Chnnang it allows for effective, and efficient
commute between two villages. This idea allows for the saving of time and money,
by not implementing a less efficient method of transportation and trade between the
two villages. THIS ISN T GOOD ENOUGH, LET EDWARD ADD SHIT TO THIS
TOO.
Sustainable Design:
The bridge has a very well designed sustainability concept, relying on upcycled
materials to complete the bridge. These upcycled materials consist of the wood, the
fishing net, the oil barrels and the plastic shielding for the barrels. These materials
can be used for functional roles in the design, such as platforms, floatation, safety
lines across hand rails, and so on. The bridge s sustainability concept can be further
supported by the ease of replacing materials, and not throwing them in the bin. The
materials such as wood, plastic and pieces of metallic bolts and nuts can be recycled
and reused for other purposed such as furniture, storage or completely recycled back
into a molten form for the metallic objects.

33. Be Careful Not to Plagairize Essay
According to the Harvard Guide to Use Sources, it is considered plagiarism if you
use a language or report and turn it in as your own without appropriately crediting the
sources used. On the sources that you used to gather information, if you can not
locate the author, make sure to scroll down and look everywhere for an author. If you
cannot locate an author, make sure that you appropriately cite the website in your
bibliography. Although it may seem obvious, while you use the Internet to gather
information, you need to be extra wary about where you gathered your information
because you can mistakenly plagiarize. Although it may have been a mistake, you
still take the consequences because you DID commit plagiarismand there is nothing...

An extremely helpful way to avoid mosaic plagiarism is by keeping track of your
ideas and the ideas that you have gathered from your source(s). It is advisable to
write down the ideas that belong to you and the ideas that you have gathered
through your research on separate papers labeled differently. Inadequate
paraphrasing is also an easy way to commit plagiarism. In order to paraphrase, you
need to change more than just a couple of words. When you re write it, if it is too
close to the original, then you are plagiarizing. According to the Harvard Guide of
Using Sources, while you write your paraphrased statement, it may help if you put
away the source that you used. If you can not express the meaning you are intending
to convey, you can write the authors statement in verbatim and put the statement in
quotation marks and apply the appropriate citation. Next, you will learn about an
Uncited Paraphrase. When you paraphrase another persons sentence or article, that
information still belongs to them even though you paraphrased it. It is not adequate
to just source your material, but you also have to cite the source even if you have
paraphrased extremely well because the idea(s) still belong to the author(s). A rule
of thumb is that if you did not come up with the idea(s) yourself, you need to cite the
source because you were not the person who introduced that piece of article which
means you need to use the appropriate citations. Very similar to an Uncited

The bottom line for our team however, is to understand that the widespread
practice of wasta in the Middle East is assumed, it is a given. So we must learn the
nuances of the practice and use it to our advantage to be successful in our mission.
That means finding the right Wasta to curry influence with the particular elders
you are working with. Originally based upon family loyalty, the family is still the
primary wasta channel, but that familial relationship has expanded to include
friends and acquaintances, as well as private agreements whereby services are
provided in exchange for gifts or specific fees. In the words of one observer, Today
s wasta is too often a middle man, seeking fame and fortune by doing favors. Our
job is to find that Middle Man and enter into that relationship with our eyes wide
open, knowing it isn t going to be a cheap date, but that it will be worth the lives it
will save down the road. Incidentally, the IMF, World Bank and regional economic
leaders consider the taming or conversion of wasta as necessary to the MENA
Region ultimately becoming an emerging market leader and engine of world
growth, its effect in the regional economy is that debilitating. So let s do our part to
keep it that way! Where s my Wasta!?! Here wasta wasta!

36. A Sunrise On The Veld Poem Analysis
How Two Completely Different Stories Can Have So Many Similarities
The short stories, A Sunrise on the Veld and At the Pitt Rivers , have nothing in
common if you analyze them on a shallow literature level. A Sunrise on the Veld by
Doris Lessing, highlights some of the reasons why life is so valuable. Lessing hints
her readers that this short story is set somewhere in the desert by, ... the flesh of his
soles contracted on the chilled earth, and his legs began to ache with cold... He
slung the shoes over his shoulder... they would be necessary when the ground
became too hot to bear, (Lessing, pg. 1212). Most deserts get heated by the sun by
day, but loses the heat at night. The boy starts hunting, at first, but then is distracted
by a wounded buck. Seeing this buck suffer, depicts him especially sad. A boy is also
the protagonist in At the Pitt Rivers by Penelope Lively. This boy spends his time in
a museum, observing people and writing poems as the time passes. He keeps track of
a couple he sees at the museum. The couple catches his attention because they are not
his ideal of what a couple should look like. If a kindergartener read these two short
stories, he/she would find nothing in common with the stories. But, if the reader has
the ability to analyze the text in more depth, he/she would find that they are more
similar than the kindergartener would think.
As an advanced reader, a comparison that is prevalent in both stories is, society s

common childhood events including spilling punch at a wedding and a sprinkler
system going off a at grocery store. For one variation of this study, Hyman et al.
implanted the memory of an overnight hospitalization with a high fever, and possible

from their childhood based on information provided by their parents. They were then

Some ideas in the field include looking at the response speed of the recollection of
memories, and the emotion felt when recalling the memory (Reisberg). A common
assumption is that the confidence with which memory is recalled could indicate its
accuracy. However, there is very little association with how sure someone is about
the occurrence of an event and how accurate their recollection is. We are often sure
of our false memories.
Smith, Ellsworth, and Kassin explain this in their study on Eyewitness Accuracy and
Confidence. They note that most officials in court cases overwhelmingly believe
confidence in eyewitness testimony to be positively correlated with accuracy. To
disprove this, they studied about 100 undergraduate students from Stanford
University. They had the students watch a car accident, participate in a filler task,
and then answer questions about the car accident. They were asked to rate the
confidence on their answers on a scale of 1 (no clue) to 10 (absolutely sure). The
researchers then computed the correlation of accuracy and confidence and found the
same conclusion as Reisberg explained: confidence can not be solid an indicator of
accuracy (Smith 358).
In fact, the more we are asked to recall a memory, the more confident we become,
which is unfortunate because it s easy to create a false memory. Let us take an

39. Theme Of The Carousel In Something Wicked This Way
Comes
Sometimes the man who looks happiest in town, with the biggest smile, is the one
carrying the biggest load of sin. There are smiles and smiles; learn to tell the dark
variety from the light. (Bradbury 135) Written in 1962, Ray Bradbury s Something
Wicked This Way Comes is a fantasy fiction novel which depicts the mysterious
experience two teenage boys encounter one October night in Green Town, Illinois.
Within Something Wicked This Way Comes, Ray Bradbury utilizes symbolism of the
carousel in order to reveal the primary theme:beware of even the most innocent
things, for they can be so nefarious.
To begin with, the author incorporates the carousel as a symbol of evil disguised as
innocence. In reality, the carousel is a distortion which represents the fears and
desires wicked people feed off of in order to acquire ultimate power. In the novel, the
author often refers to the carousel since it is almost portrayed as a vault which is
constantly revolving and depending on the innocent who succumb to the dark side
when their greatest fears are put to the test. According to Bud Martin, we are drawn
in and root for children because their security is being encroached upon, and it is
their love and innocence that both can make them victims and save them, in the end.
The carousel is by far the most powerful and important symbol within and throughout
the novel because it is considered the powerhouse or main source of energy which
thrives solely on the souls of the weak and naive who

amazed at the real flamboyance and the sheer versatility of this discipline and this
resulted in motivating me to work hard with dedication to secure a place in the top
10% of the Chemical Engineering Department with a CGPA of 8.53/10. The
demanding undergraduate program at A.C.Tech, Anna University has helped me to
achieve a strong background in core Chemical Engineering areas like Fluid
Mechanics, Mass Transfer, Thermodynamics, Chemical ReactionEngineering and
Process Calculations and has also made me to understand the utmost significance
of simulating various chemical reactions and systems in the field of Chemical

the time and his plans on fixing those issues to the American public. He reassures the
public about the changes that he was planning to employ within his presidency by
contrasting different ideas, emphasizes America s issues and his solutions through
anaphoras and varying sentence structure, and convinces the American public that he
is capable of addressing America s issues through his use of strong diction. During
this time, there were many dire issues that plagued America such as costly health
care, a badly weakened economy, and a failing education system. Obama
accomplished his goal of reassuring the American public that the changes that he was
planning to employ would be beneficial by using antithesis. Even though he was the
new President of the United Statesof America, he showed that he was still a regular
human being, just like the people that he was talking to: To those who cling to
power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you
are on the wrong side of history, but that we will extend a hand if you are willing
to unclench your fist. Obama shows that he will still help people who don t have
the same beliefs and opinions as him. Additionally, he believes that everybody has
to work together, even if they are part of a different political party or if they have a
different skin color. Ultimately, Obama prefers America to be the shining beacon of
the world, meaning that they will be the country that other countries look up to: And
so, to all the other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the
grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born, know that America
is a friend of each nation, and every man, woman and child who seeks a future of
peace
43. Tennessee Walking Horse Abuse Essay
Tennessee Walking Horse Abuse Should be Banned Chains, stacks, and diesel fuel...
No, this is not a farm shopping list, these are just a few of the many items commonly
used for soring Tennessee Walking horses. Soring is the unethical and illegal practice
of deliberately inflicting pain to exaggerate the leg motion of gaited horses to gain an
unfair advantage in the show ring ( ). Despite numerous attempts, many Tennessee
Walking horseshows allow soring ,and other forms of abuse, in their show rings and
in their facilities. In order to eliminate soring from the horse industry, the current
regulations need to be strengthened and strictly enforced. The use of soring
techniques and general abuse in order to achieve an unnatural gait should be
outlawed because it is unnecessary, inhumane, and causes a bad reputation for the
horse industry
The abuse that the Tennessee Walking horses are forced to endure is completely
unnecessary. Soring techniques are used to achieve an extremely unnatural gait. This
desired gait is the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Many times, people think of trail rides and the black stallion when they think of the
horse industry. Soring taints the reputation of horse shows and trainers around the
globe. Once a person has seen the horrific abuse and has been to a show, it is a
sight that can never be unseen. It sticks in the mind and makes one wonder if all
trainers use these techniques. When people begin to know the truth about what really
goes into these shows, ticket sales and show attendance rates begin to decline.
Animal abuse is something that many people feel strongly about and many are not
willing to support it in any way. If they believe that some, or all, gaited horse trainers
use these cruel methods, they may never attend shows or own a gaited horse. This
means decreased revenue and a misunderstanding of the gaited

American author Deepak Chopra said, If you want to do really important things in
life and big things in life, you can t do anything by yourself. And your best teams are
your friends and your siblings, . For example, Mulan fought with her men to protect
China, and Katniss fought for the destruction of the Capitol with District Thirteen.
Also, Bilbo and Thorin and Co. fought to get their gold back from Smaug, yet the
most important of all, the Arkenstone. In Harry Potter, Hermione, and Ron hunt
down the Deathly Hallows. The similarity is high only because all hero stories
follow the same monomyth developed by Joseph Campbell. Both the Arkenstone and
the Deathly Hallows serve a purpose and are the cause of a quest; however, the

Similarly enough, Harry also faces an opponent rivaling for the Deathly Hallows, and
it is none other than Lord Voldemort. The reader knows this clearly when he states
that, You Know Who s after the Elder Wand. (Rowling 431). The opposition, no
matter what it is, if overcome will bring the same amount of value into whatever the
hero and villain are fighting for. Furthermore, the Arkenstone and the Deathly
Hallows die out. At the end of Harry s fight with Voldemort and the school year, he
states that, I m putting the Elder Wand, he told Dumbledore, who was watching him
with enormous affection and admiration, Back where it came from. It can stay
there..., (Rowling 749). Considering that the Elder wand came from a tree and trees
all start in the ground, one might infer that Harry has buried it or gotten rid of it in
some way. Even though the Arkenstone wasn t destroyed, it was still made gone
when, They buried Thorin deep beneath the Mountain, and Bard laid the Arkenstone
upon his breast. (Tolkien 117). If the Arkenstone was simply buried in the mountain
with no intention of being hidden, one might assume that a prequel would come
where the Arkenstone would be made important again. In order for this to be
avoided, the adjectives deep and beneath are added to show the foot down effect. The
reader then knows for sure that the tales of the Arkenstone done, and their quest
45. Questions On Financial Reporting Disclosures
1.Introduction
ICAEW made nine recommendations about financial reporting disclosures in 2013 to
solve current disclosure overload problem. This report will mainly argue against
recommendation four. Choosing this prospect because one of the objectives of the
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is to protect consumers from being taken
advantage of by other informed participants in the capital market. Among all the
suggestions, disclosing different reports for different users has the most significant
influence on investors and capital market.
Section 2 of this report will firstly discuss the probability of fraudulent financial
reporting and the fairness problem. Then the information asymmetry problem and the
instability of the security market ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Assuming public companies are allowed to distinguish classes of users, the decision
relevant information could be split on the basis of different interests and somebody
may take advantage of this loophole to provide fraudulent information for a
favourable outcome in stock price.
2.2Example of FFR
According to the most resent report from Association of Certified Fraud Examiners
(ACFE, 2008), from January 2006 to February 2008, among all types of frauds,
FFR associated with largest average cost which was $258 million, while the
second largest was $34 million. Furthermore, the study from KPMG (2003) and
ACFE (2008) all agreed FFR is the least common but most costly fraud (Carcello
and Hermanson, 2008). The estimated annual cost of FFR in USA is $1 trillion
(ACFE, 2008), and this is just under the relaxed disclosure regulation, which is the
Securities Offering Reform, issued in 2005 in America (Clinton et al., 2014). And
FFR is certainly not limited to the United States (Zack, 2009). Hence, FCA
considered FFR facts in US as a lesson and involved in a special project in 2010 in
UK to examine fraud in public companies (Fisher et al., 2010). To conclude,
recommendation four could increase the probability of FFR which could stimulate
the stock price, and that will harm consumers and encourage the unhealthy
competition in security market.
46. What Does Light Symbolize In Macbeth
The contrast of darkness and light symbolizes evil and goodness which is the
foundation that Macbeth is built on. Darkness in our society tends to indicate many
symbols of evil or deceitfulness. The usage of this particular motif, foreshadows what
happens to the characters. The audience can tell something bad is going to happen
before it even happens. Light, in Macbeth, seems to indicate truth or innocence.
In Act I, Macbeth is debating with himself about whether or not he should make his
own path to make himself King or let Fate make him King. Macbeth, talking to
himself, says, Stars, hide your fires/ let not see my black and deep desires... (1.4)
Darkness is used figuratively in this dialogue, indicating that black and deep
symbolizes his evil and bad intentions. Macbeth does not want the light (other
people), or his goodness, to see that he wants to murder King Duncan in order to
become the new king because he doesn t want to face the fact that he is thinking of
committing murder. Shakespeare contrasts light, the stars, with darkness, black and
deep, to emphasize that Macbeth s thoughts are so evil ... Show more content on

Shakespeare is personifying night, implying that it is so dark (evil) and thick, that it
overpowers out the light from their lamp. Darkness is used literally and figuratively
in this dialogue, implying that it is so dark outside that even a lamp can t be seen
through the darkness. It also means that it feels very thick and evil because it is the
day after Duncan s death, implying that not everything is as it seems. Shakespeare
contrasts light, the lamps light, with darkness, dark night, to emphasize that even the
darkness of the night overpowers what little innocence and truth is
