...Period The period (.) is placed at the end of declarative sentences, statements thought to be complete and after many abbreviations. For example: • As a sentence ender: Jane and Jack went to the market . • After an abbreviation: Her Mar . birthday came and went. Use a question mark (?) to indicate a direct question when placed at the end of a sentence. For example: When did Jane leave for the market ? The exclamation point/mark (!) is used when a person wants to express a sudden outcry or add emphasis. 1. Within dialogue: “Holy cow!” screamed Jane. 2. To emphasize a point: My mother-in-law's rants make me furious ! Comma, Semicolon and Colon The comma, semicolon and colon are often misused because they all can indicate a pause in a series. The comma is used to show a separation of ideas or elements within the structure of a sentence. Additionally, it is used in letter writing after the salutation and closing. • Separating elements within sentences: Suzi wanted the black , green , and blue shoes. • Letter Salutations: Dear Uncle John , • Separation of two complete sentences: We went to the movies , and we went to the beach. The semicolon (;) is used to connect independent clauses. It shows a closer relationship between the clauses than a period would show. For example: John was hurt ; he knew she only said it to upset him. A colon (:) has two main uses: * The first is after a word introducing a quotation, an explanation, an example, or a series. It...

...Foster Care in the United States Sue King Liberty University Abstract The history of foster care in the United States started with orphan trains and the Children’s Aid Society founded by Charles Loring Brace. Recent research describes the child welfare system as an organization that provides service to helpless children in need. This paper will discuss foster care as it is relates to safety, permanency, and wellbeing of children in need The role of a foster parent and the process of loss, and grief after a child leave their biological parents will be discussed. Research suggests that Courts has the final decision whether a child will stay in foster care or return home. This paper will describe the developmental impact that foster care has on children after losing their biological family. There are several risk factors associated with poverty. This paper will discuss the significance of children reuniting with their biological parents and/or being adopted for permanency. Empirical evidence from recent research confirmed that hard times during childhood was related to health problems later in life. Foster care reform, educational outcomes, economic incentives for adoption, mentors and home visitation programs should be implemented to improve the foster care system. Keywords: foster care, developmental, health problems, orphan trains Foster Care in the United States The prevalence rate is high for foster care in the United States. The history...

...O.J Simpson Jamie Berthelette Psy/410 May 14, 2012 Lara Ashbaugh Abstract This paper will mention Orenthal James Simpson also known as O.J Simpson. He was a very famous football player since college and went onto the pros. He was a dedicated athlete, good father, and also a husband not once, but twice. There will be highlights from the horrific event that took place June 12, 1994. It is believed that O.J Simpson suffered from Borderline Personality Disorder. Another issue that I feel O.J Simpson suffered from is Love Triangle Syndrome which explains why he acted, behaved at all times, and the way he was with Nicole Brown Simpson. O.J Simpson was born July 9, 1947 to Eunice whom she raised him and his three siblings alone after their father ran off on them. His father Jimmy Simpson, being dysfunctional and leaving them which in part can explain so much on how O.J would act “macho” around everyone. He was awkward growing up with having to wear braces on his legs so most of the time he got picked on. He had to wear the braces until age five due to a diagnosed case of rickets and children would call him “waterhead” or “headquarters”. When O.J went to junior high he joined a gang called the Persian Warriors at age 14 and got caught stealing from a liquor store in the neighborhood. His mother ended up having him attend a private Catholic school which in turn put him back on a path towards positive things and better occupied him. O.J Simpson went to City College...

...name, and his health. But, he stays faithful and obedient to God. We endure trials every day, the loss of a loved one, physical pain, and the pressures of the world. We are not exempt from these things because we are believers. As a matter of fact, we are more inclined to go through bad and rough times because we are believers. God did not only promise to help us in our trials, he also promises us trials. God did not send His son so we would live a strife-free life. He warned us that we would have suffering and strife within our families, that we would have trails, and that we would be persecuted. We enter the Kingdom through many trails, and every Christian will suffer persecution. Using the works of C.S. Lewis and other sources, this paper will attempt to explain and clarify why one must witness and endure trials, tribulations, pain, and suffering when living for Christ and Christ-like. Lewis' influential experiences Familial losses and effect of war There were several important events on Lewis’ life that led to him leaving religion altogether and eventually returning to...

...Power. Authority. Violence A research paper highlighting the relation between the three terms: power, authority and violence, and the nature of violence and power in Hannah Hannah Arendt’s theory in her book ‘Crises of the Republic’. ------------------------------------------------- Sushrut S. Vaidya (20155042) Hannah Arendt (1906 – 1975) was a political theorist, who through her theories got the recognition of a philosopher and framed the thoughts of many political theorists to come through her topics on the nature of power, authority and totalitarianism. Through this paper, I shall be talking about my take on the relation between the three fundamentals of Hannah Arendt’s theory in her book ‘Crises of the Republic’. The relation that I will be deriving is between her theory of power, authority and violence. I hope to be, at the end of this paper, be able to provide an input as to where the ideal culminated theory lies and be able to put forward a few points on the continued flow of power. Power, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary is defined as the ability to act or produce an effect or as the possession of control, authority or influence over others. Power, has evolved into its many forms as it was practiced through time. Turning back time to back when primordial man asserted his power over others to the beginning of civilized life to the time where empires began and required ruling to the creation of the ‘modern man’, power has been exercised multiple...

...Running head: EDUCATION PREPARATION PAPER Education Preparation Paper Dimple Patel Grand Canyon University: NRS 430v August 19, 2012 Education Preparation Paper Teaching someone how to drive a car for the first time can be challenging because the driver has no knowledge about the rules of the roads and laws, but as the driver learns the rules and practices, then they become a safer driver (Hill, 2010). Similarly are the different levels of nursing. The new driver can be compared to the associate degree nurse (ADN) and as knowledge is mastered, the nurse continues to a baccalaureate degree (BSN) and then to an advanced practice degree (APN). The progression of academic experience promotes higher levels of patient care (Spencer, 2008). The purpose of this paper is to use scholarly research to discuss the difference in competencies between nurses prepared at the ADN level verses the BSN level, using a patient care situation to describe differences in approach to nursing care. First we will define the difference in competencies between an ADN, BSN, and APN. Differences in Competencies Educational levels in nursing hold different competencies. All nurses must pass a state board exam, regardless of their educational level, to enter the profession. There are four levels of nursing which include the ADN, BSN, APN, and clinical nurse leader (CNL). Although the CNL will not be discussed, the ADN, BSN, and APN will...

...Kathryn Henry Vocal Pedagogy Term Paper 4/27/14 Is it Locked?: The Study of the Temporomandibular Joint and its Effects on Vocal Production In this research paper, I will discuss the temporomandibular joint and its effects on vocal production. The paper begins with a definition of what the temporomandibular joint is, where it sits in the skull, and what its functions are. Following this section will be disorders and treatments of disorders that one may encounter involving the temporomandibular joint. Finally, I will discuss how temporomandibular joint disorders can negatively affect a singer’s vocal production. The Temporomandibular Joint, or TMJ, is a joint located in front of one’s ears on each side of the face. ‘Temporo’ refers to the temple, the bone in the side of one’s head, and ‘mandibular’ refers to the mandible. The joint connects the mandible to the bone on the side of the head. The TMJ allows the mandible to move up and down as well as back when chewing, talking, or yawning. As the mouth opens, the rounded edges of the mandible, called condyles, glide along the socket of the temporal bone. As the mouth closes, the condyles slide back into their original resting positions. The TMJ is a ginglymo-arthrodial joint, meaning that the joint allows forward and backward movements, ginglymoid, as well as gliding movements within narrow limits, arthrodial.The TMJ has a combination of hinging and sliding motions, making this joint among the most complicated of the human...

...introduces same) while seeking to stem new or growing problems, while staying steadfast and focused in order to deliver a better life to people in need. In undertaking the task of this paper I was excited when I found a reference to King Athelstan. He established what is the first recorded almshouse – in York in the 10th Century. I also found that the oldest established charity still in existence is thought to be the Hospital of St. Oswald in Worcester, founded around 990. What I found disturbing is that even though the almshouses in Great Britain survive and thrive – after many adaptations to this day – the almshouses established in the United States evolved to become very bad places. (Almshouses.org website) In our text, we read that in the United States, human services were established and modeled according to the Elizabethan Poor Law of 1601, and that the first principle laid down in the colonies defined poor relief as a public responsibility. Another principle stipulated that people would be denied support if they had family members who were not poor, i.e., parents, grandparents, adult children, or grandchildren. (Woodside, p. 33) This entire subject area is fascinating. Early Peoples Recorded In History In researching “human services from the early peoples recorded in history” we can go back pretty far. Human services,...

...Doves There were many compelling choices for my first Introduction to Humanities analysis. But Louise Erdrich had previously caught my eye while reading the course material, and I remember how much her work had made an impression on me; her dedication to writing about the Native American experience, and how multiculturalism in America had not necessarily been kind to them (MindEdge, Inc., 2015). So I was pleased to see that one of the choices was the first chapter of her novel “The Plague of Doves”. After reading the first chapter my initial thought was; “I want to read more!” It was well written, easy to read, and presented the turn of the 20th century life of the Native American vividly. The author’s use of words and prose transported me back to that time, how the narrator’s great-grandparents met, ran away, and eventually returned to the reservation. Their struggle to survive together amidst racial segregation and violence was well interspersed with stories of the burgeoning love life of the narrator in the 1960’s. This was the one aspect that impressed me the most, how the stories of the two generations were interspersed together in a way that tied them together, each story flowing from one to the other, but in a way that was easy to track and understand. The impression that I got from this style of writing was the apparent contrast and similarities of the generations, and at the same time the connectedness that they have with each other because of their family ties, the “current...
