...will be able to construct one that will work for you. Take some "chicken wire" and form a tube about 16 inches in diameter. You can make it square, if you want, but a tube is easier. Using wire or such, you will need to sew the seam of the tube. Also sew one end shut in such a way that you can open fairly easy. Then cut a "mouth" out of a square of the chicken wire. You will need to form a cone that fits into the other end of the "tube". The smaller end points into the tube. The smaller end should be small enough to allow fish to swim through but not big enough to let them swim back out. This kind of trap needs to have bait put inside to attract the fish. If you can find a small creek that fish usually swim up, place the trap with the mouth facing downstream and block access of the rest of the creek so that all fish will have to swim into the trap. [pic] You can make the trap out of anything. The Indians used to make them out of sticks. The fish can be left in the trap if there are too many for you to eat at one time. This way you could have fresh fish anytime that you needed them. You can leave them in the trap for a week or so. Much longer than that and the fish would starve. Bait: Using bait makes finding fish easier. If you are near a stream, river, or lake, you can keep a "supply" of fish nearby by baiting them. You can place a trap at the bait or fish with hook and line. In running water place the bait in a certain place by weighting it down so it wont drift off. The...

...grinned through Dr. Phil’s line of questioning about the chain of events leading up to the night JonBenet was killed. Reportaitly, people have said that Burke did not like his sister and that after he would go to the bathroom, he would get his feces and smear it on the walls and on JonBenet’s bed. Some say the wounds on JonBenet’s back came from the edges of one of his toy train tracks, which many suggest may have been used by him to nudge his sister’s body for a response, after hitting her with a flashlight. John Mark Karr- In 2006, Karr confessed to killing JonBenet in great detail. His confession included a journal he kept where he wrote about him killing her. He wrote that he strangled JonBenet in a game gone wrong. He was interviewed by Boulder Police but was cleared because his DNA did not match the DNA found on JonBenet’s clothing. Bill McReynolds- McReynolds was a friend of the family who would dress up as Santa Claus at one of Patsy's famous Christmas parties. It was rumored that he would pay too much attention to JonBenet. Barbara Kostanick ,the mother of a friend of JonBenet’s, said JonBenet said, “Santa Claus promised that he would make a secret visit after Christmas… He said this would be after Christmas. And it’s a secret.” He also brought a vial of glitter that was given to him by JonBenet into heart surgery. Even more bizarre, he asked his wife to mix the gold glitter in with his ashes were he to die. This suspect failed to amount to anything more. 7).How Was Evidence...

... JonBenét Ramsey, a young beauty queen. She was very well know for her incredible pageant work. On December 25th 1996, she was found murdered in her parents basement. The possible suspects were her parents who were proven innocent, or her brother, many also believe the family had nothing to do with the death of their 6 year old child. So who is really responsible? The brother who has just recently spoken out about his sister or was it a family friend that was never caught? Burke Ramsey, brother of JonBenét, after 20 years finally spoke out on why he hasn’t spoken on the death of his sister. He claims “I wanted to grow up as a normal kid, which does not include going in front of TV cameras”(ABC News). Burke was originally taken off the suspect list when the DNA tests first happened, but later he was put back on after forensics specialists noticed there was multiple different DNA samples. Murder specialists think that is why Burke is just now speaking out. “Seemed like it would rouse it all up again”(ABC News), says Burke on why he waited so long to be interviewed. Burke was the number one suspect on CBS’ The Case of JonBenét ramsey. At the end of the special they revealed he was the only possible suspect for the murder of his 6 year old beauty queen sister. Other news reports believe he acted “disturbed” and was “dodging questions” (Eonline news: CBS’ JonBenét Ramsey case). Despite the clear evidence many still believed it was an outsider. The murder of JonBenét Ramsey is Colorado's...

...One real world problems I have encountered would be the day my husband and I got fired from our jobs in the same week. This incident happened about two years ago when the economy was starting to go down and the recession was just a reflection on what was to come. I had just started working as a call center agent for Kaiser Permanente working the graveyard shift; this had been the first job I had taken with those hours. In order to work permanently for Kaiser Permanente there is a probation period of four months, during these four months an employee cannot call in sick without a doctor’s note, cannot be late to a shift more than twice, and cannot call in to be absent. One day I had a really bad migraine and ear ache and decided to call in sick. The next day when I went back to work I had forgotten to get a doctor’s note to take to work and my supervisor had advice me to get one the following day or my job could be in jeopardy. The week went by and I had forgotten about the note, when my probation evaluation was up that incident came up and the department supervisor decided I had to be terminated. About three days earlier my husband was also terminated from his job due to our childcare issues. Now that it happened and time has passed to reflect on what went wrong I believe a way to solve this problem in a persuasive thinking manner would have been for myself to go to work that day and speak with my supervisor and explain to him that I knew the rules of calling in sick during the...

...Causes and Prevention of Burnout in Human Services Shanah Magee BSHS 461 4/8/2013 Dr. Edward Armstrong People working in the helping field are subject to conditions that can lead to depletion or even impairment, such as the emotionally intense nature of the helping relationship and increasingly heavy caseloads. Burnout is a serious issue in human services. According to Johnson and Stone (1987), burnout “refers to a state of physical, in emotionally demanding situations” (p. 67). Factors that contribute to burnout and methods used to prevent burnout will be discussed in this paper. Individual, cultural, organizational, supervisory, and social support factors can lead to burnout. Some factors that correlate with burnout within an individual include overload, insufficient compensation, and lack of recognition. A heavy workload can be tiring and often causes an individual to work longer hours than he or she would like. This can lead to an individual feeling “out of control” because most time is being spent working instead of resting or doing things that give life value. Cultural factors...

...Projects Objective: Kaiser Permanente would like to rollout a new companywide compliance system. They are requiring at least 10 hours of on hands training for all of their managers across the country. By the end of their training the managers will have learned the new platform as well as the new policies that were introduced to them. The goal is to have a set location that all managers from across the country will meet at for their training. All traveling expenses will be paid by Kaiser Permanente. The CEO Bernard Tyson will be provided a compilation of the feedback from every manager that participated in the training. Mr.Tyson will then use this information to evaluate how effective the training was. Project Scope: Will have 30 days to book all of the fights, hotels, order catering, and book a central location for the training. This gives the managers enough time to work their schedule around these training sessions, as most of the managers will be flying in from other states across the country. Tasks: * We need to obtain a list of all of the managers attending the training. * Book a flight a hotel package for each of the managers based on their location. * Researching a catering company that will provide both breakfast and lunch. * Give each of the managers a $60 gift card to help pay for their dinners and any other minor expenses. * Set a date for the trainings to begin and end. * Set an agenda for the trainings sessions such as what is to...

...JonBenet Ramsey was born on August 6, 1990. Her father, John Ramsey, was a wealthy businessman and her mother, Patsy Ramsey, was a socialite. Patsy Ramsey won Miss West Virginia in 1977 and had been in many pageants when she was young. JonBenet had an older brother, Burke Ramsey who was soon to be 10 years old. It appears to many people that Patsy lived vicariously through her daughter; JonBenet had been in many beauty pageants by only the mere age of six. The Ramsey family was very wealthy and lived in a large house in a relatively nice area in Boulder, Colorado. On December 26, 1996, there was a 911 call at 5:52 am from a frantic Patsy Ramsey claiming her daughter was missing and kidnapped, along with receiving a ransom note; police raced to the scene. Hours later, John Ramsey found his daughter JonBenet in the wine cellar of their basement, wrapped in a blanket, dead and appearing to be strangled. In the 911 call made by Patsy Ramsey, you can hear that she seems...

...The issue in this article was college institutions and their desperate need for money due to the downward spiral of the American economy. Dan Beebe was on the verge of losing at least half of the 10 remaining schools due to empty financial promises from opposing conference commissioners. The economy forced universities to put pressure on athletic departments to raise revenue. As the commissioner of the Big 12 Conference, Dan Beebe was a leader. As a leader he had to make decisions based off unfortunate circumstances and threats. The schools in the Big 12 Conference were under pressure from other leaders, one in particularly Larry Scott new commissioner of the PAC-10 Conference In my opinion money makes the world go around, without the need for money a lot of things that happen in life would never take place. In this case, money was the vehicle that was driving the decision making process of each university considering leaving the Big 12 Conference. Larry Scott had a plan and Dan Beebe had to come up with one. In a two day span the University of Colorado and the University of Nebraska left the Big 12. Larry Scott persuaded Colorado and the Big Ten Conference earned a new member in Nebraska. Dan Beebe was down to 10 schools, which were all being promised higher television revenues if they accepted Larry’s offer to join the PAC-10. As a leader, Dan had to come up with a plan, I agree with the decision the Big 12 Conference made to keep it intact. Deals were made, and schools...

...In what is believed to be the first study of its kind, researchers at the University of Colorado, Denver will study the genes of those with a kind of epilepsy called Dravet Syndrome who have been treated with a strain of medical marijuana known as Charlotte's Web. The study will attempt to determine if specific genetic components can explain why some epilepsy patients see positive results from ingesting Charlotte's Web, while others do not. Edward Maa, the principal investigator of the Charlotte's Web study, says the new trial could be a first step toward building a body of research on how and why medical marijuana can be used to treat epilepsy. The new study will recruit epilepsy patients who have already taken Charlotte's Web. Kate Pickert reveals plans for the unprecedented studies on how a particular strand of marijuana may affect those suffering from Dravet Syndrome, a form of Epilepsy. This clinical study is being conducted by researchers at the University of Colorado and will test genetic components of the individual participants. These participants will have already been treated with a specific strand of marijuana named Charlotte’s Web and will have reported both positive and negative results from treatment. Edward Maa, with the University of Colorado embellishes on how this study will investigate the genes of patients to determine why they had either positive or negative results from treatment. Due to Federal regulations studies involving marijuana use have, until...
