My Sister’s Keeper My Sister’s Keeper 4 My Sister’s Keeper – Final Paper March 15, 2018 George Washington University The book sister’s keeper by Jodi Picoult talks about a family that had a child with fragile bones. The mother had learnt to take care of her though it was very tiring whereas the rest of the family was still adjusting. The child had to be held with care so that he does not suffer injuries with his bones. The sister, Anna, was the one who helped her sister with her bone marrow as Kate, the sister, had leukemia and she constantly needed a bone marrow to maintain the disease. It got to a point that Anna felt that she was being misused and as a result she ended up filing a suit against her parents. Comment by Janice LePlatte: Not Fragile Bones: Check the story Comment by Janice LePlatte: Check this The lawsuit raised various ethical issues that took place during the treatment of Kate and many questions were raised in the court room concerning the way Kate's medical issues were raised. One of the ethical dilemmas is whether the way Anna was conceived based on genetics that was modified is a valid and correct method. The main reason this took place is because Kate did not have a match of her bone marrow for her to survive therefore they required to get a match through a sibling. (Picoult, 2009) The only way this could take place is getting the genes in Kate so that they are sure the new born matches the marrow of Kate. The issue raised with this is whether Anna was born to make Kate’s life better or to live like a normal child. Anna however felt that she was born to make Kate’s life better. Another ethical dilemma raised in the book is concerning Anna and whether she gave consent to allow her body to be used to save her sister. Anna felt that the procedures were too much which made her uncomfortable and unable to live life like normal children. She felt that she was the surviving factor that makes Kate live accordingly. The issue that is raised in this case is whether what Anna went through would have required her consent. It is quite unfortunate that Anna did not like what was going as she felt that she did not have a social life. Most of the time Anna’s life was based in hospital as her sister fell sick every now and then. She felt that if she was asked for her consent then she would have wanted to live her life like the other thirteen year olds. Comment by Janice LePlatte: Explain further Comment by Janice LePlatte: Explain further. Name the ethical code and provide intext reference Kate had her kidneys damaged due to the excess medical procedures that she went through. This required Anna to donate her kidney to her sister so that she can survive. However Kate is really sick whereby the surgery will end up becoming a risk to Kate and Anna would have undergone the surgery for no reason. This shows an ethical dilemma whereby Anna undergoes surgery for the sake of her sister who probably will not survive the surg ...

430 Chapter 17 Death and Dying
Case 17-1
When Parents Refuse to Give Up1
Nine-year-old Yusef Camp began experiencing symptoms soon after eating a pickle bought
from a street vendor. He felt dizzy and fell down, he could not use his legs, and he began
to scream. By 10:00 p.m., he was hallucinating and was transported to the DC General
Hospital by ambulance. He went into convulsions. His stomach was pumped, and they
found traces of marijuana and possibly PCP. He soon stopped breathing, and by the next
morning, brain scans showed no activity.
Four months later, Yusef’s condition had not changed. The physicians believed his brain
was not functioning and wanted to pronounce him dead based on brain criteria. Several
difficulties were encountered, however. First, there was some disagreement among the
medical personnel over whether his brain function had ceased completely. Second, at that
time the District of Columbia had no law authorizing death pronouncement based on
brain criteria. It was not clear that physicians could use death as grounds for stopping
treatment. Most important, Ronald Camp, the boy’s father, protested vigorously any sug-
gestion that treatment be stopped. A devout Muslim, he said, “I could walk up and say
unplug him; but for the rest of my life I would be thinking, was I too hasty? Could he have
recovered if I had given it another 6 months or a year? I’m leaving it in Almighty God’s
hand to let it take whatever flow it will.”
The nurses involved in Yusef’s care faced several problems. Maggots were found
growing in Yusef’s lungs and nasal passages. His right foot and ankle became gangre-
nous. He showed no response to noises or painful stimuli. The nurses had the responsi-
bility not only for maintaining the respiratory tract and the gangrenous limb, but also for
providing the intensive nursing care needed to maintain Yusef in debilitated condition
on life support systems. Had the aggressive care been serving any purpose, they would
have been willing to provide it no matter how repulsive the boy’s condition was and in
spite of there being many other patients desperately needing their attention. However,
some of the nurses caring for Yusef were convinced that they were doing no good what-
soever for the boy. They believed they were only consuming enormous amounts of time
and hospital resources in what appeared to be a futile effort. In the process, other
patients were not getting as much care as would certainly be of benefit to them. Could
the nurses or the physicians argue that care should be stopped because he was dead?
Could they overrule the parents’ judgment about the usefulness of the treatment even
if he were not dead? Could they legitimately take into account the welfare of the other
patients and the enormous costs involved when deciding whether to limit their atten-
tion to Yusef?

The document provides a detailed summary of the book "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down" by Anne Fadiman. It discusses the cultural differences between the Hmong family and American doctors in treating Lia Lee's epilepsy. The Hmong parents believed her illness was spiritual while doctors saw it as medical. Due to lack of understanding between the two sides, Lia did not receive consistent treatment and her condition worsened.
The cases about the two Hmong children whom went to the doctors an.docx
The cases about the two Hmong children whom went to the doctors and had fevers were similar but different in some ways. With the case about Daisy, the six month old girl, the parents had taken her daughter to her primary care physician because she had a fever of 103°F but had no other symptoms. The parents tried to treat the fever with Tylenol but the fever got worse. There was no interpreter so the physician spoke to the parents in English. The physician was concerned that Daisy might have had bacterial meningitis. The parents asked little questions about the procedures and tests the physician wanted to do to confirm bacteria in the blood stream. The parents agreed to keep Daisy at the hospital. The grandparents came and stated that they wanted a khawv koob ritual. The doctor had allowed the ritual to happen in the hospital but had said that the healer could not burn incense because of oxygen Daisy was being given. Unfortunately Daisy did not get better and died from cardiac arrest.
If I was the physician I would have made sure that there was an interpreter present and translating for me what I had to say to the parents. This is very important because so many details of Daisy’s condition could get lost in the conversation between Daisy’s parents and me. With the interpreter, all options could be informed effectively and the parents could be warned of repercussions. It would also be important for me to be competent about this cultural and the values it has. It’s evident that the Hmong culture believes in Khawv Koob healers and value this practice. I would know what the benefits of this practice are and use my knowledge to be empathetic towards what this family was asking for. I would make sure that the nurses tending to the patient and their families were also competent about the Hmong culture.
This case was hard to determine whether the daughter was going to die with or without the ritual. Unlike the other case, Daisy was not getting better, instead she was getting worse. In my opinion, there was probably nothing that could have been done to save her life.
The case about Neng Song was different than Daisy’s case because the fever Neng had was not persistent and the doctors had no real proof of bacterial infection because no test was done. Neng’s parents refused any treatment or test to determine with there was bacteria in the blood stream and the doctor was concerned that the baby would die if not being treated. So, the doctor tried to get a court order and held the family at the hospital but by the end of their hold the baby’s fever had went down to 100 °F and the baby was not fussy anymore. The family somehow escaped and the baby had gotten better with khawv koob ritual.
In this case there was a Hmong interpreter but it’s obvious that the doctor was not competent of the Hmong culture. The doctor did not allow the Khawv Koob to be in the hospital and did not offer that. I would allow the khawv koob be in the hospital and allow the ritural t ...
Legal and Ethical Concerns.docx
The document discusses several legal and ethical concerns regarding working with children affected by divorce. Therapists may be asked to take on roles in divorce and custody issues and must consider confidentiality. They may also be called to testify in custody hearings. As a witness, a therapist provides factual information about the child's therapy and treatment, but acts as an unbiased source of information rather than an advocate for either parent. The limits of therapist testimony are defined by evidentiary rules regarding lay versus expert witnesses.

Theme one is to identify the types of cultures or models of cultures and how they work or fit within an organization
Learning Activity #1
Using your reading material create a chart that describes the type, characteristics of the culture, associated values that would be important to keep the culture alive, and kinds of organizations structures that work best for culture. Compare and contrast them in your explanation of the chart. For instance what culture might work for Joe at the new sawmill and then which one might work at Purvis' shoe company.
Theme two: How to Create, Change, and Align Culture to the Structure and Vision.
Organizational Structure
Preface:
A leader’s job is to create the direction for the company to move forward. The leader does this in steps. Here are the steps of the process:
First, the leader designs the vision and mission for the company and second, the leader must establish an organizational structure which promotes the vision, mission and empowers the employees to keep the forward movement in the organization.
In creating the structure various factors must be considered.
· First and foremost is the purpose of the company or organization. What type of structure will best accomplish that goal? Certainly a company like UPS needs a somewhat rigid structure that is set up to focus on procedure and time sensitivity. Since UPS has as its goal to get the correct parcels to the right customers in the fastest way possible, variance in procedures or ways of accomplishing the tasks would never work. A tight delineated structure is imperative.
· Along with the purpose the leader must look at the vision of the organization. Where does the leader want the organization to go? How best can the structure provide for the future? Will the vision call for expansion into other countries or simply call for product development changes? Do you plan a struct ...

computations required) document with filename format:
Last First_Week X hwk.doc or .xls Make sure your name appears on each page of the
homework using the header function.
Homework questions:
1. Why do you think it took from 1999, when the XBRL concept was invented, until 2009
for the SEC require that public filers adopt?
2. From the PWC Webcast on XBRL, what are the differences between the “bolt-on” and
“embedded” approach to XBRL?
3. If you worked in the Finance and Accounting department of a company, how could you
use XBRL tags to help in your job? Could XBRL tagging help other functions in a
company do their jobs?
4. US public filers are required to begin tagging and reporting financial data using XBRL
beginning in 2009. From earlier in this course, they also have many major projects that
are required now or in the coming years (IFRS, Fair Value, etc.). Aside from the obvious
benefit of job creation for CPA’s and the companies which provide these
services/software ☺, what impact do you think these requirements are going to have on
companies? Will this divert attention and resources from their core business or will this
be like all other changes they go through (e.g. SOX), an intense implementation then

Should Transportation Security Officers Be Armed?
It is the opinion of this writer that Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) should not be
armed. It is my intent to illustrate that point in this paper. During my research I will weigh the
advantages and disadvantages of arming TSOs, examining each side of the argument. I will also
offer a potential solution that while costly will still prove to be less costly than arming TSOs.
What has led to this discussion? For a majority of our society it takes years and certain
events to take place in our lives for change to occur. Those events include graduating High
School/College, getting married, or having children. In a matter of only five short minutes on
the morning of November 1st, 2013, some individual’s lives changed forever. On that morning
Paul Anthony Ciancia, age 23, opened fire in Terminal 3 of the Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX). His senseless acts killed a TSO, while injuring six other individuals. The
shooting has been debated over and over again on whether it is a terrorist act or not. The
activities before, during, and after the shooting will show the acts were certainly a terrorist
attack. But more importantly could any deaths or injuries have been avoided if the TSOs were
armed? These is the question that will continue to be debated and one that will be addressed in
this paper.
Synopsis of the event that led up to this argument:
Shortly after being dropped off at the airport by his roommate, Paul Ciancia pulled out a
rifle and began opening fire. He was carrying luggage that was filled with a semiautomatic .223
caliber Smith & Wesson M&P-15 rifle, five 30-round magazines, and hundreds of additional
rounds of ammunition ("Lax shooting suspect," 2013). Walking up to the TSA checkpoint,
Ciancia pulled out a rifle and opened fire hitting TSO Gerardo Hernandez in the chest. Ciancia

then apparently moved into the screening area where he continued to fire striking two other
TSOs and a male citizen. According to eye witnesses, Ciancia continually asked civilians if they
were TSA officers, when they said “no” he moved on without shooting them ("Lax shooting:
Latest," 2013). Ciancia made it as far as the food court some five minutes after the first shots
were fired. He was then surrounded by LAX police officers who engaged him in a gunfight.
Shortly after the gunfight ended Ciancia was taken into custody where he had to be transported
to a nearby trauma hospital for gunshot wounds (Abdollah, 2013).
In total eight individuals had to be treated at the scene. Four victims were treated for
gunshot wounds, while the others were treated for other injuries ("6 hospitalized after," 2013).
The sole suspect Paul Ciancia was carrying a note on him that stated he “wanted to kill TSA”
and describe them as “pigs”, the note also mentioned “fiat currency” and “NWO” ("Lax shooting

"Uncle Vanya"
“Man has been endowed with reason,
with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given.
But up to now, he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer.
Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up,
wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined,
and the land grows poorer and uglier”
The play “Uncle Vanya” written by Anton Chekhov is a pearl of the classics of Russian literature. Anton Chekhov left a great legacy in a form of his plays and short stories for the classics of world literature. Without a shadow of doubt, this masterpiece, written by one of the most prominent the Russian playwrights of his time, should be read with further analysis and discussion. “Uncle Vanya” is a realist play and Chekhov tried to make its scenes as true-to-life as possible. Chekhov spent one year writing “Uncle Vanya” and introduced a number of changes between the years 1896 – 1897. The final version of his play is famous worldwide. The plot of the play narrates a heartbreaking story of how the main hero, Ivan Petrovich Voynitsky or Uncle Vanya that was a rather calm and quiet man undergoes a moral “rebirth” developing a spirit of a rebellion. Uncle Vanya, the main hero of the play, can be characterized as a bitter aging man who spent his life in toil working for his brother-in-law. Chekhov depicted the character of uncle Vanya as a misanthrope who recognized the miserable nature of other characters.
Moreover, Chekhov’s play also involves a number of other important issues that are experienced by the play’s characters. These issues include the feeling of pointless life lacking meaning, missed opportunities, and the most touching feeling of blind admiration. It should be admitted that Chekhov used to create hidden meaning in his plays to make the readers think critically not only of his work but of their lives either. Therefore, in the play, Chekhov made every character individualistic. For instance, the central character in the play, Uncle Vanya, cares about patrimony and the Serebryakov’s family’s property. Throughout the play, uncle Vanya finds himself dismissed and rejected without the right for an opinion. Chekhov also pointed out the suffering of other characters who struggle to change their lives for better. The play consists of a number of personal dramas that are interconnected.
It can be stated that Chekhov included a number of opposite lines in his play such as the choice between obedience or riot, feeling of admiration and disrespect. The following lines from the play demonstrate the feeling of disappointment and understanding the pointlessness of a situation: “”I’m mad — but people who conceal their utter lack of talent, their dullness, their complete heartlessness under the guise of the professor, the purveyor of learned magic — they aren’t mad” (Uncle Vanya). Uncle Vanya is concerned about the wasted years and the thought of how his life could look like in case he used the opportun ...

Overview: Financial Management Case Study
One of the important duties of a nurse leader is to manage personnel and personnel budgets. In this assignment, you will assume the role of a nurse manager. You will use given data to make important decisions regarding budgets and staffing.
Some nurse managers have computer spreadsheets or software applications to help them make decisions regarding budgets and staffing. You will only need simple mathematical operations* to perform the needed calculations in this assignment because the scenario has been simplified. Furthermore, some data have been provided for you that a nurse leader might need to gather or compute in a real setting. Still, you will get a glimpse of the complexity of responsibilities nurse leaders shoulder regarding financial management.
· To calculate the percent of the whole a given number represents, follow these steps:
Change the percentage to a decimal number by moving the decimal twice to the left (or dividing by 100).
Multiply the new decimal number by the whole.
Example: What is 30% of 70?
30%= .30; (.30) × 70 = 21
· To find out what percentage a number represents in relation to the whole, follow these steps:
Divide the number by the whole (usually the small number by the large number).
Change the decimal answer to percent by moving the decimal twice to the right (or multiplying by 100).
Example: What percent of 45 is 10?
10 ÷ 45 = .222; so, 10 is 22% of 45.
* You will only need addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Name:
Habitable Zones – Student Guide
Exercises
Please read through the background pages entitled Life, Circumstellar Habitable Zones, and The Galactic Habitable Zone before working on the exercises using simulations below.
Circumstellar Zones
Open the Circumstellar Zone Simulator. There are four main panels:
· The top panel simulation displays a visualization of a star and its planets looking down onto the plane of the solar system. The habitable zone is displayed for the particular star being simulated. One can click and drag either toward the star or away from it to change the scale being displayed.
· The General Settings panel provides two options for creating standards of reference in the top panel.
· The Star and Planets Setting and Properties panel allows one to display our own star system, several known star systems, or create your own star-planet combinations in the none-selected mode.
· The Timeline and Simulation Controls allows one to demonstrate the time evolution of the star system being displayed.
The simulation begins with our Sun being displayed as it was when it formed and a terrestrial planet at the position of Earth. One can change the planet’s distance from the Sun either by dragging it or using the planet distance slider.
Note that the appearance of the planet changes depending upon its location. It appears quite earth-like when inside the circumstellar habitable zone (hereafter CHZ). However, when it is dragged inside of the CHZ it becomes “desert-like” while outside it appears “frozen”.
Question 1: Drag the planet to the inner boundary of the CHZ and note this distance from the Sun. Then drag it to the outer boundary and note this value. Lastly, take the difference of these two figures to calculate the “width” of the sun’s primordial CHZ.
CHZ Inner Boundary
CHZ Outer Boundary
Width of CHZ
NAAP – Habitable Zones 1/7
Question 2: Let’s explore the width of the CHZ for other stars. Complete the table below for stars with a variety of masses.
Star Mass (M )
Star Luminosity (L )
CHZ Inner Boundary (AU)
CHZ Outer Boundary (AU)
Width of CHZ (AU)

2.0
4.0
8.0
15.0
Question 3: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the location of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Question 4: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the width of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Exploring Other Systems
Begin by selecting the system 51 Pegasi. This was the first planet discovered around a star using the radial velocity technique. This technique detects systematic shifts in the wavelengths of absorption lines in the star’s spectra over time due to the motion of the star around the star-planet center of mass. The planet orbiting 51 Pegasi has a mass of at least half Jupiter’s mass.
Question 5: Zoom out so that you can compare this planet to those in our solar system (you can click-hold-drag to change t ...

Hygiene Saves Lives
I. Intro: To give an informational speech about Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis
A) Attention getter – On each square centimeter of your skin, there are about 1,500
bacteria. That’s a lot of germs. According to a study conducted by Michigan State
University researchers, 95% of people do not properly wash their hands long enough to
kill the infection causing germs and bacteria (Jaslow, “95 Percent of People Wash Their
Hands Improperly: Are You One of Them?”).
B) Purpose Statement - That’s gross. While I can’t force you to wash your hands, perhaps
today I can help you realize just how much history and evidence is behind this crucial
bathroom ritual.
C) Thesis – Today, I will inform you all about Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis by discussing first
about his practice and studies, second about his scientific methods that saved a lot of
lives, and third about the germ theory we all take for granted.
II. BODY:
A) Main Point Number 1: To begin, I want to introduce Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis.
a) Ignaz Semmelweis became a physician and earned his doctorate degree in medicine
in 1844. This time period was known as the start of the golden age of the physician
scientist” (NPR.org). This means that doctors were expected to have scientific
training. Doctors were more interested in numbers and collecting data (Justin Lessler,
an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health).
b) In 1846, Dr. Semmelweis showed up for his new job in the maternity clinic at the
General Hospital in Vienna. Due to the time period, Dr. Semmelweis thought like a
physician scientist and wanted to figure out why so many women in maternity wards
were dying from childbed fever (Davis, “The Doctor Who Championed
Hand-Washing and Briefly Saved Lives”).
c) So what did he do? He collected data of his own. He studied two maternity wards in
the hospital. One was staffed by all male doctors and medical students, and the other
by female midwives. He tallied up the number of deaths in each ward and found that
women in the clinic staffed by doctors and medical students died at a rate 5 times ...

The document discusses the case of Terri Schiavo, who was in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years. It summarizes the key facts of her medical condition and diagnosis, the disagreement between her husband and parents about continuing life-sustaining treatment, and the multiple legal appeals involved in the case. It concludes that while both sides wanted what was right for Terri, the central issue is determining what the patient herself would have wanted, which the courts found clear evidence for in Terri's case based on prior statements to her husband.

This document summarizes a proposed change by a Little League commission to eliminate scoring in games. The commission believes this will reduce stress in children, but the summary argues that:
1) There is no evidence scoring causes stress, and children face stress from many sources unrelated to baseball.
2) Removing scoring upends decades of tradition and takes away important lessons about effort and reward for children.
3) Parents will likely oppose the change as it diminishes their experiences supporting and bonding with their children over the game.

Theme one is to identify the types of cultures or models of cultures and how they work or fit within an organization
Learning Activity #1
Using your reading material create a chart that describes the type, characteristics of the culture, associated values that would be important to keep the culture alive, and kinds of organizations structures that work best for culture. Compare and contrast them in your explanation of the chart. For instance what culture might work for Joe at the new sawmill and then which one might work at Purvis' shoe company.
Theme two: How to Create, Change, and Align Culture to the Structure and Vision.
Organizational Structure
Preface:
A leader’s job is to create the direction for the company to move forward. The leader does this in steps. Here are the steps of the process:
First, the leader designs the vision and mission for the company and second, the leader must establish an organizational structure which promotes the vision, mission and empowers the employees to keep the forward movement in the organization.
In creating the structure various factors must be considered.
· First and foremost is the purpose of the company or organization. What type of structure will best accomplish that goal? Certainly a company like UPS needs a somewhat rigid structure that is set up to focus on procedure and time sensitivity. Since UPS has as its goal to get the correct parcels to the right customers in the fastest way possible, variance in procedures or ways of accomplishing the tasks would never work. A tight delineated structure is imperative.
· Along with the purpose the leader must look at the vision of the organization. Where does the leader want the organization to go? How best can the structure provide for the future? Will the vision call for expansion into other countries or simply call for product development changes? Do you plan a struct ...

DUE DATE: Sunday midnight of Week 6, submitted in a MS Word (or Excel if
computations required) document with filename format:
Last First_Week X hwk.doc or .xls Make sure your name appears on each page of the
homework using the header function.
Homework questions:
1. Why do you think it took from 1999, when the XBRL concept was invented, until 2009
for the SEC require that public filers adopt?
2. From the PWC Webcast on XBRL, what are the differences between the “bolt-on” and
“embedded” approach to XBRL?
3. If you worked in the Finance and Accounting department of a company, how could you
use XBRL tags to help in your job? Could XBRL tagging help other functions in a
company do their jobs?
4. US public filers are required to begin tagging and reporting financial data using XBRL
beginning in 2009. From earlier in this course, they also have many major projects that
are required now or in the coming years (IFRS, Fair Value, etc.). Aside from the obvious
benefit of job creation for CPA’s and the companies which provide these
services/software ☺, what impact do you think these requirements are going to have on
companies? Will this divert attention and resources from their core business or will this
be like all other changes they go through (e.g. SOX), an intense implementation then
business as usual?

Should Transportation Security Officers Be Armed?
It is the opinion of this writer that Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) should not be
armed. It is my intent to illustrate that point in this paper. During my research I will weigh the
advantages and disadvantages of arming TSOs, examining each side of the argument. I will also
offer a potential solution that while costly will still prove to be less costly than arming TSOs.
What has led to this discussion? For a majority of our society it takes years and certain
events to take place in our lives for change to occur. Those events include graduating High
School/College, getting married, or having children. In a matter of only five short minutes on
the morning of November 1st, 2013, some individual’s lives changed forever. On that morning
Paul Anthony Ciancia, age 23, opened fire in Terminal 3 of the Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX). His senseless acts killed a TSO, while injuring six other individuals. The
shooting has been debated over and over again on whether it is a terrorist act or not. The
activities before, during, and after the shooting will show the acts were certainly a terrorist
attack. But more importantly could any deaths or injuries have been avoided if the TSOs were
armed? These is the question that will continue to be debated and one that will be addressed in
this paper.
Synopsis of the event that led up to this argument:
Shortly after being dropped off at the airport by his roommate, Paul Ciancia pulled out a
rifle and began opening fire. He was carrying luggage that was filled with a semiautomatic .223
caliber Smith & Wesson M&P-15 rifle, five 30-round magazines, and hundreds of additional
rounds of ammunition ("Lax shooting suspect," 2013). Walking up to the TSA checkpoint,
Ciancia pulled out a rifle and opened fire hitting TSO Gerardo Hernandez in the chest. Ciancia

then apparently moved into the screening area where he continued to fire striking two other
TSOs and a male citizen. According to eye witnesses, Ciancia continually asked civilians if they
were TSA officers, when they said “no” he moved on without shooting them ("Lax shooting:
Latest," 2013). Ciancia made it as far as the food court some five minutes after the first shots
were fired. He was then surrounded by LAX police officers who engaged him in a gunfight.
Shortly after the gunfight ended Ciancia was taken into custody where he had to be transported
to a nearby trauma hospital for gunshot wounds (Abdollah, 2013).
In total eight individuals had to be treated at the scene. Four victims were treated for
gunshot wounds, while the others were treated for other injuries ("6 hospitalized after," 2013).
The sole suspect Paul Ciancia was carrying a note on him that stated he “wanted to kill TSA”
and describe them as “pigs”, the note also mentioned “fiat currency” and “NWO” ("Lax shooting

"Uncle Vanya"
“Man has been endowed with reason,
with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given.
But up to now, he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer.
Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up,
wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined,
and the land grows poorer and uglier”
The play “Uncle Vanya” written by Anton Chekhov is a pearl of the classics of Russian literature. Anton Chekhov left a great legacy in a form of his plays and short stories for the classics of world literature. Without a shadow of doubt, this masterpiece, written by one of the most prominent the Russian playwrights of his time, should be read with further analysis and discussion. “Uncle Vanya” is a realist play and Chekhov tried to make its scenes as true-to-life as possible. Chekhov spent one year writing “Uncle Vanya” and introduced a number of changes between the years 1896 – 1897. The final version of his play is famous worldwide. The plot of the play narrates a heartbreaking story of how the main hero, Ivan Petrovich Voynitsky or Uncle Vanya that was a rather calm and quiet man undergoes a moral “rebirth” developing a spirit of a rebellion. Uncle Vanya, the main hero of the play, can be characterized as a bitter aging man who spent his life in toil working for his brother-in-law. Chekhov depicted the character of uncle Vanya as a misanthrope who recognized the miserable nature of other characters.
Moreover, Chekhov’s play also involves a number of other important issues that are experienced by the play’s characters. These issues include the feeling of pointless life lacking meaning, missed opportunities, and the most touching feeling of blind admiration. It should be admitted that Chekhov used to create hidden meaning in his plays to make the readers think critically not only of his work but of their lives either. Therefore, in the play, Chekhov made every character individualistic. For instance, the central character in the play, Uncle Vanya, cares about patrimony and the Serebryakov’s family’s property. Throughout the play, uncle Vanya finds himself dismissed and rejected without the right for an opinion. Chekhov also pointed out the suffering of other characters who struggle to change their lives for better. The play consists of a number of personal dramas that are interconnected.
It can be stated that Chekhov included a number of opposite lines in his play such as the choice between obedience or riot, feeling of admiration and disrespect. The following lines from the play demonstrate the feeling of disappointment and understanding the pointlessness of a situation: “”I’m mad — but people who conceal their utter lack of talent, their dullness, their complete heartlessness under the guise of the professor, the purveyor of learned magic — they aren’t mad” (Uncle Vanya). Uncle Vanya is concerned about the wasted years and the thought of how his life could look like in case he used the opportun ...

Overview: Financial Management Case Study
One of the important duties of a nurse leader is to manage personnel and personnel budgets. In this assignment, you will assume the role of a nurse manager. You will use given data to make important decisions regarding budgets and staffing.
Some nurse managers have computer spreadsheets or software applications to help them make decisions regarding budgets and staffing. You will only need simple mathematical operations* to perform the needed calculations in this assignment because the scenario has been simplified. Furthermore, some data have been provided for you that a nurse leader might need to gather or compute in a real setting. Still, you will get a glimpse of the complexity of responsibilities nurse leaders shoulder regarding financial management.
· To calculate the percent of the whole a given number represents, follow these steps:
Change the percentage to a decimal number by moving the decimal twice to the left (or dividing by 100).
Multiply the new decimal number by the whole.
Example: What is 30% of 70?
30%= .30; (.30) × 70 = 21
· To find out what percentage a number represents in relation to the whole, follow these steps:
Divide the number by the whole (usually the small number by the large number).
Change the decimal answer to percent by moving the decimal twice to the right (or multiplying by 100).
Example: What percent of 45 is 10?
10 ÷ 45 = .222; so, 10 is 22% of 45.
* You will only need addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Name:
Habitable Zones – Student Guide
Exercises
Please read through the background pages entitled Life, Circumstellar Habitable Zones, and The Galactic Habitable Zone before working on the exercises using simulations below.
Circumstellar Zones
Open the Circumstellar Zone Simulator. There are four main panels:
· The top panel simulation displays a visualization of a star and its planets looking down onto the plane of the solar system. The habitable zone is displayed for the particular star being simulated. One can click and drag either toward the star or away from it to change the scale being displayed.
· The General Settings panel provides two options for creating standards of reference in the top panel.
· The Star and Planets Setting and Properties panel allows one to display our own star system, several known star systems, or create your own star-planet combinations in the none-selected mode.
· The Timeline and Simulation Controls allows one to demonstrate the time evolution of the star system being displayed.
The simulation begins with our Sun being displayed as it was when it formed and a terrestrial planet at the position of Earth. One can change the planet’s distance from the Sun either by dragging it or using the planet distance slider.
Note that the appearance of the planet changes depending upon its location. It appears quite earth-like when inside the circumstellar habitable zone (hereafter CHZ). However, when it is dragged inside of the CHZ it becomes “desert-like” while outside it appears “frozen”.
Question 1: Drag the planet to the inner boundary of the CHZ and note this distance from the Sun. Then drag it to the outer boundary and note this value. Lastly, take the difference of these two figures to calculate the “width” of the sun’s primordial CHZ.
CHZ Inner Boundary
CHZ Outer Boundary
Width of CHZ

Question 3: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the location of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Question 4: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the width of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Exploring Other Systems
Begin by selecting the system 51 Pegasi. This was the first planet discovered around a star using the radial velocity technique. This technique detects systematic shifts in the wavelengths of absorption lines in the star’s spectra over time due to the motion of the star around the star-planet center of mass. The planet orbiting 51 Pegasi has a mass of at least half Jupiter’s mass.
Question 5: Zoom out so that you can compare this planet to those in our solar system (you can click-hold-drag to change t ...

Hygiene Saves Lives
I. Intro: To give an informational speech about Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis
A) Attention getter – On each square centimeter of your skin, there are about 1,500
bacteria. That’s a lot of germs. According to a study conducted by Michigan State
University researchers, 95% of people do not properly wash their hands long enough to
kill the infection causing germs and bacteria (Jaslow, “95 Percent of People Wash Their
Hands Improperly: Are You One of Them?”).
B) Purpose Statement - That’s gross. While I can’t force you to wash your hands, perhaps
today I can help you realize just how much history and evidence is behind this crucial
bathroom ritual.
C) Thesis – Today, I will inform you all about Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis by discussing first
about his practice and studies, second about his scientific methods that saved a lot of
lives, and third about the germ theory we all take for granted.
II. BODY:
A) Main Point Number 1: To begin, I want to introduce Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis.
a) Ignaz Semmelweis became a physician and earned his doctorate degree in medicine
in 1844. This time period was known as the start of the golden age of the physician
scientist” (NPR.org). This means that doctors were expected to have scientific
training. Doctors were more interested in numbers and collecting data (Justin Lessler,
an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health).
b) In 1846, Dr. Semmelweis showed up for his new job in the maternity clinic at the
General Hospital in Vienna. Due to the time period, Dr. Semmelweis thought like a
physician scientist and wanted to figure out why so many women in maternity wards
were dying from childbed fever (Davis, “The Doctor Who Championed
Hand-Washing and Briefly Saved Lives”).
c) So what did he do? He collected data of his own. He studied two maternity wards in
the hospital. One was staffed by all male doctors and medical students, and the other
by female midwives. He tallied up the number of deaths in each ward and found that
women in the clinic staffed by doctors and medical students died at a rate 5 times ...

The document discusses the case of Terri Schiavo, who was in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years. It summarizes the key facts of her medical condition and diagnosis, the disagreement between her husband and parents about continuing life-sustaining treatment, and the multiple legal appeals involved in the case. It concludes that while both sides wanted what was right for Terri, the central issue is determining what the patient herself would have wanted, which the courts found clear evidence for in Terri's case based on prior statements to her husband.

This document summarizes a proposed change by a Little League commission to eliminate scoring in games. The commission believes this will reduce stress in children, but the summary argues that:
1) There is no evidence scoring causes stress, and children face stress from many sources unrelated to baseball.
2) Removing scoring upends decades of tradition and takes away important lessons about effort and reward for children.
3) Parents will likely oppose the change as it diminishes their experiences supporting and bonding with their children over the game.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

My Sister’s Keeper My Sister’s Keeper 4My Sister’s.docx
- 1. My Sister’s Keeper My Sister’s Keeper 4 My Sister’s Keeper – Final Paper March 15, 2018 George Washington University The book sister’s keeper by Jodi Picoult talks about a family that had a child with fragile bones. The mother had learnt to take care of her though it was very tiring whereas the rest of the family was still adjusting. The child had to be held with care so that he does not suffer injuries with his bones. The sister, Anna, was the one who helped her sister with her bone marrow as Kate, the sister, had leukemia and she constantly needed a bone marrow to maintain the disease. It got to a point that Anna felt that she was being misused and as a result she ended up filing a suit against her parents. Comment by Janice LePlatte: Not Fragile Bones: Check the storyComment by Janice LePlatte: Check this The lawsuit raised various ethical issues that took place during the treatment of Kate and many questions were raised in the court room concerning the way Kate's medical issues were
- 2. raised. One of the ethical dilemmas is whether the way Anna was conceived based on genetics that was modified is a valid and correct method. The main reason this took place is because Kate did not have a match of her bone marrow for her to survive therefore they required to get a match through a sibling. (Picoult, 2009) The only way this could take place is getting the genes in Kate so that they are sure the new born matches the marrow of Kate. The issue raised with this is whether Anna was born to make Kate’s life better or to live like a normal child. Anna however felt that she was born to make Kate’s life better. Another ethical dilemma raised in the book is concerning Anna and whether she gave consent to allow her body to be used to save her sister. Anna felt that the procedures were too much which made her uncomfortable and unable to live life like normal children. She felt that she was the surviving factor that makes Kate live accordingly. The issue that is raised in this case is whether what Anna went through would have required her consent. It is quite unfortunate that Anna did not like what was going as she felt that she did not have a social life. Most of the time Anna’s life was based in hospital as her sister fell sick every now and then. She felt that if she was asked for her consent then she would have wanted to live her life like the other thirteen year olds. Comment by Janice LePlatte: Explain further Comment by Janice LePlatte: Explain further. Name the ethical code and provide intext reference Kate had her kidneys damaged due to the excess medical procedures that she went through. This required Anna to donate her kidney to her sister so that she can survive. However Kate is really sick whereby the surgery will end up becoming a risk to Kate and Anna would have undergone the surgery for no reason. This shows an ethical dilemma whereby Anna undergoes surgery for the sake of her sister who probably will not survive the surgery. The dilemma raised an issue of why Anna would undergo through a surgery which will not make her sister better. This shows a lack of concern on Anna’s life therefore feeling as if she was born to support her sister. Comment by Janice
- 3. LePlatte: Name the ethical dilemma document with intext reference Anna and Kate were frequent visitors of hospitals whereby they ended up interacting with the nurses and the doctors as well. This therefore meant that they would be advised by the medical personnel. The nurses are the ones who explained the disease well to the parents so as to make the parents to well understand the situation. (Bonito, n.d.)It is at this time they would have laid down some insights on the effects of forcing Anna to undergo the medical procedures for her sister. Nurses are known to be helpers of patients in hospital to make sure that the patient is comfortable and that the effects of the various procedures are laid down accordingly. Comment by Janice LePlatte: Name the Ethical Code that speaks to this statement .then provide in text reference Comment by Janice LePlatte: Meaning?? Explain further Comment by Janice LePlatte: Meaning ??? There are times that nurses fail to intervene in some situations. The reason could be that they fear going against the doctors words or they do not want to scare the patients and the relatives further. A scenario is whereby the doctors were talking about Kate’s issue and the result is that the mother feels bad as they describe Kate in a poor manner. Sara, Kate’s mother, felt as if the patients were describing her like a machine. The nurses did not explain the terms the doctor was talking about which shows lack of intervention on the nurse’s part. The reason of lack of intervention is unknown but a fact is that Sara felt bad. Kate underwent a lot of pain whereby she did not have a choice. The nurses tried their best to ensure that she is given the appropriate medication and that she does not end up dying. In this case, the nurse intervened in the well-being of Kate so much and they tried their best to engage her during medication. In the book there is a part whereby we see Kate in pain when she was getting injected though there is nothing much the nurse could do as it was for her own benefit. There was no issue with this as the nurse was doing as per the doctor’s request and it is evident that it was for the benefit of Kate.
- 4. When Sara realized that Kate needed a donor and that undergoing a genetically modified pregnancy will make a child who will be a donor then it will result to the child becoming a slave to the other child. Sara did not see it in such a way though the nurses should have intervened when such a decision was being made. They would have offered more advise and make the consequences to be known for both the child and the parent. It is evident that the sole purpose of Anna was to assist Kate to live longer and at least enjoy life. What they did not expect is for Anna to fret after thousands of medical processes and the things she had to do to ensure that the procedures go well. Comment by Janice LePlatte: Explain further This book explains various ethical dilemmas that take place in a hospital setting and how it affects the family. It is well detailed and the characters express their feelings concerning the issue at hand. Ana felt that she wanted to live and she fought for her rights amicably. The fact that Ana fought for her rights shows boldness and courage considering that she was suing her parents. This book brings about things that people never thought could break a family.
