2. Essay On Chivalry In The Song Of Roland
The Song of Roland is based on the Battle of Roncevaux in 778. Regarded as the oldest surviving
work in French literature, the epic s author is theorized to be Turold. The text shows a medieval point
of view regarding knights and chivalry that would have otherwise been lost. Knights were to have
certain qualities to be considered chivalrous and Turold depicts a classic form of chivalry in his work.
The readers only get to experience the knights in battle so it would be hard to make a true prediction
of what Turold believed. In battle, Turold s knights show no unrelenting strength, engaging
compassion, unprecedented honor, lethal prowess, strong faith, and unwavering loyalty. The men fight
for what they believe and do what they are ordered with no regard for how it may turn out. The
warriors give their all to God, their Emperor, and Count Roland in The Song of Roland.
One of the qualities of chivalry The Song of Roland portrays is compassion. ... Show more content on

Honor is when someone fulfills an agreement or duty but is also when a person does something that is
to be held in high esteem. The readers of The Song of Roland see this early on when Roland will not
let Oliver talk down about his stepfather, even though Oliver is right in his intentions. Roland replies,
Be still, Oliver. / He is still my stepfather my stepfather. / I won t have you speak one word against
him (Goldin 81). By not letting Oliver speak ill of his stepfather, Roland is taking up for his family
name and not letting it be smudged. Honor is also shown in a different light when the men stay and
fight the battle even though they may lose. The battle cry Roland s warriors let out is, God hate the
man who runs! / We may die here, but no man will fail you (Goldin 81). The men have the opportunity
to run and return home safely but their honor would not let them do that. Their purpose is to fight and,
by not fighting, they are not doing their duty as

3. Ct, Mri, And Coronal Images Of The Body Planes
CT This week I rotated through CT. CT is computed tomography. CT uses special x ray machines to
show detailed images of the body planes. This machine splits the body into axial, sagittal, and coronal
images on one scan. Some CT scans are done with contrast and some are done without contrast.
Contrast in used to highlight the vessels in the body so they will show up bright on the image. The
contrast is injected through an IV that is inserted by either a tech or a nurse. Most scans were done on
the chest, abdomen or pelvis but I also seen a few soft tissue neck scans and head scans. CT does both
out patients and inpatients. They have a busy schedule and is very hard for them to stay on track. It
doesn t take much for them to fall behind. I enjoyed working in CT and cannot wait to go back. All the
techs that we were working with were very nice and willing to help. They also taught us the basics to
using a CT machine. I got select the protocol for the scan that was ordered, scan the scout image and
set the margins for the actual CT scan. They also showed me how to load up the injector with the
appropriate amount of contrast and saline water. The contrast that they most commonly use is
Omnipaque 350. My two favorite techs to work with were Melissa and Merikay. Melissa was very
helpful and talked me through the steps from pulling up the patient, selecting the proper protocol and

4. Essay The Improper Use of Patient Restraints
The Improper Use of Patient Restraints Running head: PATIENT RESTRAINT PROTOCOLS Patient
restraints have been a hot issue within the past ten to fifteen years in nursing. There have been
numerous studies done on the adverse affects restraints have on patients, physiologically and
psychologically. Anger, fear, impaired mobility, bladder and bowel incontinence, eating difficulty, skin
breakdown, and nosocomial infections have all been associated with the use of restraints (Weeks,
1997; Janelli, 1995). Therefore, there has been a move to limit the use of restraints and develop safer

staff should follow when ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Many of the patients are at risk for falls due to neurological problems. There are at least two to three
patients restrained on the unit on a daily basis. Some of the reasons nurses restrain patients are to
prevent them from harming themselves or others, to help maintain treatment plans, and to control
confused or agitated patients (Stratmann, Vinson, Magee and Hardin, 1997). The most frequently used
restraints are vests, wrist, belts/ties, mitten and ankle, in that order (Stratmann et al., 1997). Many
research studies currently taking place are focused towards discovering alternatives to restraints.
Identifying successful alternatives to restraints and educating nurses about alternatives has helped in
reducing the use of restraints (Winston, Morelli, Bramble, Friday and Sanders, 1999; Weeks, 1997).
There are times, however, when restraints are needed to protect patients (Richman, 1998; Dibartolo,
1998). Restraints would be indicated for an intubated patient who keeps pulling out his endotracheal
tube. In such cases, failing to use restraints could result in a claim or lawsuit being brought on for
negligence (Richman, 1998). In 1992, the Food and Drug Administration issued a warning on
restraints because of the nearly 300 deaths and injuries related to restraint use occurring each year
(Janelli, 1995). Problems identified by the FDA included inappropriate restraint selection, errors in

According to Wickham (2006) process of growth model, MPM would be looking into financial growth
as the company focuses commercial activities such as profitability, sales and turnover. Besides,
strategic growth will be taken into account when competing with its competitors in its market industry
in creating or selling new products when compared with their competitors. After implementing the
theories in MPM, it helped me understand MPM s market analysis of rivalry among existing
competitors. Applying Churchill and Lewis model in MPM, it can be said that it is in between Stage
III: Success and Stage IV: Take off, as it has its own brand and have been sustained its business for
over 25 years (Churchill and Lewis, 1983). Over the years, MPM has expanded to more branches of
offices which shows that the company has attained economic health and has sufficient size to ensure
economic success. After applying frameworks and theories, it can be stated that in terms of growth in
a company, I have learnt that it can be applied and indicated differently in distinctive companies. To
exemplify, growth can mean increase in staff employment in a company whereas it can also mean
increase in production volume. However, it is clear that growth must be planned, organised, activated
and controlled (Nieman and Pretorius, 2004). In other words, growth can be either sustaining its
business in the industry or expanding its business. Having to explore

6. Marketing Mix For Launching A Product
I am going to look at how a business successfully applies the marketing mix when launching a
product. I am also going to compare and contrast traditional and digital methods of communication. I
am also going to look at how Sony, when launching their Playstation 4, have applied the marketing
mix, identified their target market and give recommendations on how they could have launched this
product better. The product itself is arguably the most important part of the marketing mix because
this is what the customer is actually going to buy, so it is very important that it meets the demands of
customers. By taking a customer centric approach, a business can ensure that the product meets the
customers demands rather than a product centric approach as this wont meet all of the target markets
needs. Customers want a product which is both environmentally friendly and safe (Gbadamosi, n.d.)
By providing these two things when a product is being launched, would help ensure that a product
launch has been successful. However in some cases, some businesses will struggle to meet this for
example a motor vehicle. Due to the fact that cars release emissions, cars are not going to be
environmentally friendly, however if the company is able to show that the business is improving on
what they previously offered in terms of reducing emissions from their cars, customers are more likely
to be pleased and therefore makes it likely that the product is going to have a successful product
launch.

7. Tenth Circuit Case Analysis
Federal courts generally reference what the Kansas courts describe as a cognizable legal prejudice as
the loss of a substantial right due to the dismissal. Pontenberg v. Boston Scientific Corp., 252 F.3d
1253, 1255 (11th Cir. 2001). The Tenth Circuit has recognized four main factors when determining
whether a legal prejudice exists: the opposing party s effort and expense in preparing for trial;
excessive delay and lack of diligence on the part of the movant; insufficient explanation of the need
for a dismissal; and the present stage of litigation. Brown v. Baeke, 413 F.3d 1121, 1124 (10th Cir.
2005). Defendants Response claims the Defendants will be substantially prejudiced by an or der of
dismissal, but do not provide any identification of what that prejudice would be or how the prejudice
would rise to the level of the loss of any substantial right. Since the Defendants have not identified any
legal prejudice, or met their burden of showing any plain legal prejudice resulting from the requested
dismissal, the Court is without grounds to deny the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

10. The History of Restaurants
THE RESTAURANT It was not until the 19th century that the term Restaurant was derived. Prior to
this time, these establishment was referred to as a number of different terms such as, eating house ,
restorator , just to name a few. http://digital.library.unlv.edu/collections/menus/early restaurants
america These establishments were defined as being a place where one can order a meal in exchange
for money. As the world began to grow in population, the amount of restaurants began to grow as well
in different areas of the country.
Think back to how the guest restaurant experience was from beginning to end 15 years ago. The
backbone of the business was based on handwritten books from the reservation book to the accounting
books of the business. Upon entering the restaurant, a waiter would check the handwritten reservation
book, that had the party name, party number, and a contact number, and also the table layout to decide
which table is available. After which, the guests are seated and presented with a paper menu which list
the food items available at that particular establishment. Majority of the time, the menu was displayed
in a list form without any pictures, only a description of the item. When guests were ready to order,
typically, the waiter will pull out a notepad and pen to scribe each guest s order and specifications.
While the party waits for their food, guests are required to entertain themselves. At some restaurants,

Lymphoma
Lymphoma is cancer that occurs when cells of the immune system, called lymphocytes, a type of
white blood cell, grow and multiply uncontrollably (Lymphoma.org). Lymphocytes are in the lymph
nodes, spleen, thymus, bone marrow and other parts of the body (Webmd.com). This type of cancer is
the most common blood cancer (Lymphoma.org).
Cancerous lymphocytes can travel to many parts of the body, including the lymph nodes, spleen, bone
marrow, blood, or other organs, and form a mass called a tumor. Lymphocytes are the warriors of the
immune system (Marieb Hoehn). The body has two main types of lymphocytes that can develop into

lot, and many types of lymphoma can now be cured. Your outlook depends on: the kind of lymphoma
you have, how far the cancer has spread, your age, the type of treatment you get as well as what other

knowledge of her age and other personal details make to the account?
Ethnographic research implies that researcher is obtaining the data by observing researched people in
their common environment and with common circumstances (Silverman, 2010). It has been
discovered that this style of research requires trustful relationships between researcher and the
researched, especially when the ethnography is made in the closed settings and access to researcher is
granted from the head. In analyzed study permission was acquired exactly in this way, and Russell
described a large number of problems related to establishment of trust and balancing between two
sides: teachers and students. Cassell and Symon (2004) argue that gathering information in case of no
trust in ethnographic research might be difficult. To prove that they provide an example of Westley

unwillingness to give an interview during his fieldwork in police organization in USA.

The first part of the five basic parts to a nuclear reactor starts with the core which holds the Uranium
fuel. As there are many different types of reactors each core holds a different type of Uranium. For
some examples, a heavy water reactor uses natural Uranium, which 0.7% is Uranium 235, while light
water reactors use Uranium that has been enriched, so that Uranium 235 makes up around 3 5% of the
total. The next part of the reactor is the moderator, now the moderator is a light material such as water.
The water will allow the neutrons to be slowed down without being captured. The benefit of slowing
down these fast neutrons during fission is it can increase their efficiency by causing further fission.
Control Rods are made up of materials that can absorb neutrons, such as silver, boron, indium,
hafnium, or cadmium. These are introduced into the reactor to reduce the number of neutrons and thus
stop the fission process when required to stop. Another use of the rods is to control the level and
distribution of power in the reactor. Next part of the reactor is the coolant. The coolant is the fluid that
circulates through the reactor core. This absorbs and transfers heat that is produced by nuclear fission.
Also at the same time, it maintains the temperature of the fuel within the acceptable limits. The final

20. A Space For Rent By Airlines Essay
An airport, in simplified terms can really be considered as a space for rent by airlines. The job of the
airport is to provide the necessary amenities to the airlines, the passengers of the airlines and the
necessary capacity to do so. In most cities the population and tourism industry is likely the
determinant as to how big the airport is. Often with the bigger, busier and higher profile airports (i.e.
Dubai, Sydney, JFK) the charges are more for the use of their terminals, taxiways, runways etc.
It should be taken under consideration that there are many factors related to why there might be such a
sizeable difference between different airports and the associated fees. One such example is an airport
with current, or future plans of expansion. Often when an airport is expanding (i.e. building new
terminals, or extending runways etc.) fees such as landing fees, or gate charges will increase. An
example of this is Christchurch International airport, which has seen a steady increase in charges since
2012, when the new terminal development began, and since then the airport had continued to expand,
including further gate additions, runway width expansions and greater parking capabilities. For a Jet
aircraft departure, a fixed fee of $150 was in place in 2012, that number has since increased to $163 in

Implementing a new program that will benefit an industry takes investors, time, money and a planning
committee to ensure that the proper regulations is selected for the right. It also ensures that the best
processes that are in place will benefit the business at its appropriate time. In health care the demands
for modification and adjustment comes often to benefit the overall care for the patient. In today s

When implementing ways to eliminate medication errors are impossible, however best practices
should be applied to avoid as many concerns or issues that could present itself. Through research there
are many approaches that have been found to support the reduction of medication errors. The first
areas to review was the way that medication orders are written, too many times medication orders are
left to facilities with non licensed nurses transcribe orders or to receive a verbal order from the
physician s office, sometimes written prescription are also faxed. When orders are received the staff
member should verify the order with the physician s office or have the office to escript the

24. Diffusion Osmosis Lab
Introduction
This lab module focused on several experiments which involved passive and active processes, cell
division, and rat dissection.
Passive processes are those that do not require the use of any cellular energy in order to move
substances across the plasma membrane of a cell, because they are moving from an area of higher
solute concentration to lower solute concentration using only their own inherent kinetic energy. The
passive processes were demonstrated through experiments of diffusion, osmosis (and its possible
effects, hemolysis or crenation), filtration and dialysis. All of these experiments involve the use of a
material that is acting like and can be compared to the selectively permeable membrane of a living
cell.

The hypothesis for this experiment is that the solid substance will diffuse more rapidly in a liquid
medium than will the solid substance in a solid medium. This hypothesis was formed on the basis of
preexisting knowledge that the particles of solids are more densely and tightly packed together, and
they do not flow or move apart easily. Liquids, on the other hand, are less tightly packed together and
flow very easily. For this reason, I would speculate that it will be easier for a solid to dissolve or

The variables in our study are Stress, Extracurricular Activities, and Social Satisfaction. Stress is
defined as a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding
circumstances. Social Satisfaction is when someone has enough social stimulation in their active life
as to where they don t feel like they have as much stress. Social satisfaction could also have effects on
the students academic performance as well. Extracurricular activities are activities that do not fall
within the scope of a regular curriculum while carrying no kind of academic credit. Similar to athletics

Maturation can be defended as genetically programmed development. Stages of development âswitch
on at fairly predictable time during childhood. The changes occur quiet rapidly, and allow a similar
pattern in almost all children. Almost all individuals have a unique genotype. This affects their

learn. Some of the conditions that lead to such deficits are strongly influences by genetics. The Role of
Learning Learning is the main process by which children acquire behaviour and understanding from
the environment. Children learn in various ways and acquire new ways in learning, as they get older.

enabled humans to adapt to living in environments and conditions that are far different from those

leads them to make the most of opportunities to learn through play. Children also make demands on

was truly good hearted. She sadly died in a concentration camp about a year later.The truth is people

Due to technology more advanced, it is only natural for people to question the possibilities and
dangers as well its consequences to our society. Science fiction genres are great depictions and visual
representations that can bring possible answers to our doubts. In the film The Matrix (1999), directors
Lana and Larry Wachowski convey their idea that freedom is when you can fully control you own life
and the theme of Reality Vs. illusion through characterization, setting and the films visual effects. The
protagonist Neo, is a hacker who believes that he is not truly awake and feels an unexplainable doubt
in his life. He is then awakened by Morpheus, the leader of the resistance against the matrix, into an
apocalyptic world where machines control peoples minds through a program called the matrix .
Throughout their battle in rescuing the human race, the crucial idea of what true freedom is, constantly
stirs up not only the characters but also the viewer s minds. Would we call living in a reality full of
chaos being free, or would we rather live in an illusion where you are free and the society is perfect,
but in reality being locked up in a tube?
The theme of Man Vs Machine is communicated through characterization and costume. The matrix is
an example of human devolution, when Machine takes over human species. In the film, humans are
enslaved by machines in an invisible prison where they perceive they live normal lives, but in reality
they are controlled by the machines.

Youth culture existed before the Second World War and it did not suddenly appear after 1945.
However, it emerged after that time for various reasons that will be explained later on this essay. There
were many factors of how youth culture and subculture developed such as: demographic changes,
National Service, education and raising the school leaving age, the economic period and music. And
these factors also helped shape people s experiences of them. B Demographic changes were the first
and one of the reasons why youth culture created such anxiety. Because of survived married soldiers
coming back from the Second World War, there was a baby boom , which meant that the number of
people under twenty grew from 3 million in 1951 to 4 million in 1966. (Osgerby, 2005) B There were
two changes that happened and established youth as a group with certain needs and problems. The
first one was Butler s education act of 1944, and that raised the school leaving age from 12 to 14.
Further changes were made in 1947 raising it to 15 and 16 in 1972. Which meant that it allowed
children to go to secondary school. The second change was the development of youth services such as
youth clubs, which made these young people do something useful in their leisure. (Osgerby, 2005) B

knocking Mike out, which he certainly is capable of doing, Cohn takes the abuse and sulks, perhaps in
the interest of preserving his interactions with Lady Brett. But Cohn is continuously bad mouthed. The
other characters make several anti Semitic comments, scoffing his Jewish superiority. (166) And all
through this, Brett Ashley doesn t give him the time of day! How can this man be held so
contemptuously by the others? Maybe because Cohn is the bull, not the steer. Hemingway hides this
reference in one brief line. As Jake and Lady Brett are watching the bulls come out, Jake remarks:
Look how he knows how to use his horns...He s got a left and a right, just like a boxer. (144) The only
other boxer in the novel is Cohn, and at one point in the book he reveals that he, too, knows how to

From the beginning of time, great emphasis has been placed on a need for care due to illness and
disease. In the past, medical knowledge in nursing guided and provided the greatest direction for
practice. It was not until the 1960 s when Dr. Madeleine Leininger felt there was a need of shift from
biomedicine toward integrating culturally sensitive care within the profession of nursing. The goal of
the theory has been to use research findings to provide culture specific care that would be culturally
congruent, safe, and beneficial to people of diverse or similar cultures for their health, wellbeing, and
healing, and to help face disability and death (McFarland, Wehbe Alamah, 2015, p. 6). Utilizing the

Overview
Improving our price perception can fix our current conflict with our aggressive competitors in the
market to sale natural foods. For a while our company has been referred to as The Whole Pay Check ,
because of our high prices for natural products (Npr.org). Unfortunately, we have been perceived this
way because of our prices and that is something we aim to change. We must focus on improving our

and go deeper to rebuild traffic and sales and create a solid foundation for our long term profitable

There is a challenge for TSTOs to overcome: air friction being directed on the vehicle from its booster,
while separating. The paper Aeroheating Characteristics for a Two Stage To Orbit Concept During
Separation at Mach 6 , investigates the issue. This study looked into the aeroheating on two crafts
when separating so one can make it into space, while the other, the first stage, returns to land. The
study found that in the small scale test conducted that there were not much negative effects of heating
from friction on one craft to the other. This would appear to be a positive development for the TSTO
community as it is possible to get a craft into space by attaching it to another.
As is seen in Investigation of Two Stage to Orbit Airbreathing Launch Vehicle ConďŹgurations , there
are many possible configurations for a TSTO. The kind this paper explored most was the booster craft
