...Immunizations: Who Should be Calling the Shots? Immunizations: Who Should be Calling the Shots? Vaccines can prevent outbreaks of disease and save lives. By immunizing a critical portion of a community, most of us are protected from the disease because there is little chance for an outbreak. By reducing the number of people who are not immune, we can contain the spread of contagious disease. This is known as “community immunity” or “herd immunity” ("Vaccines.gov", n.d.). Diseases such as measles and pertussis were once highly feared and vaccines for these diseases have played an important part in reducing the transmissions of these and other deadly diseases. (Luthy, DNP,FNP, Beckstrand, RN, PhD, CCRN, CNE, Callister, RN, PhD, FAAN, & Cahoon, SN, 2012). While many people fear that immunizations can have harmful side effects such as developmental delays in children or that the government and pharmaceutical companies are profiting from the sale of immunizations, parents who choose to not immunize their children are putting the general public at risk. We must act now to encourage parents to vaccinate in order to prevent widespread outbreaks of once deadly diseases. Personal Beliefs There are currently 20 states that allow vaccine exemption based on parents’ personal beliefs, and this is becoming increasingly prevalent. Parents’ personal decisions to exempt their children from receiving vaccinations often stems from a false sense of security that if everyone...

...In the United States, 90% of parents vaccinate their children and follow the recommended schedule. That is about twenty-eight immunizations against fourteen different diseases in the first two years of life. But, at least 10% of parents skip or delay some shots, and around 1% do not vaccinate at all "Vaccines-Calling the Shots". Most people have gotten at least vaccinated once in their lives. Doctors use vaccines as sort of a boot camp for immune systems from adults to small children. The way it works is by using a dead or weakened virus that would imitate the real virus if it attacks. The immune system responds by attack to virus and leaving behind white blood cells that know how to fight the virus now. Vaccines came from Dr. Edward Jenner. He was the first man to deliberately inoculate people with a mild, non-fatal disease called "cowpox" that came from a similar strain to smallpox, thus making people immune to the virus. He called his technique "vaccine” from "vacca" Latin for cow "Vaccines-Calling the Shots"....

...more careful on windy days Geese hunting on windy days has a few tricks. Finishing the geese on such weather might cause a problem because they often land shortly and out of the wind. In order to follow their game, you should also be positioned out of the wind, preferably in low areas, behind trees or upon hillsides. Also, on windy days, make sure that you always use the loud and aggressive goose call. Get back to basics If you have tried different ways to call in the geese and they don’t respond, always go back to basics. No matter how professional you have become in the field, try the simple call which very often has great impact. Simple calling seems to be the universal language that geese all over the world understand. The secret to using the simple calling is to be able to use a lot of volume and yet to use a softer voice when calling them. When playing with geese, act like a goose! Geese lie low when the temperature is...

... Directors and authors try their best to create an environment where the reader or viewer can feel they were there when it happened. The author or director creates suspense in many ways. In text the author may use descriptions, vivid verbs, phrases that cause fear, and frightening facts. In movies, directors can create suspense by using music, different angles with camera shots, lighting, and characters emotions. In the book “The Race to Save Apollo 13” the author Michael Useem created suspense in multiple ways. One of those ways he created suspense was the phrases that would cause fear. One of the phrases is when Kranz was on the phone with Chris Kraft “…It seems there’s been an explosion.” This phrase creates suspense because it’s not specifically telling the reader what happened. It also makes the reader wonder what will happen next. In the movie, Apollo 13 directed by Ron Howard, there are different ways of how suspense was created. When astronaut Lovell tells Houston “there is something leaking into space”, the director used camera angles to create suspense. Ron Howard, the director, used a camera shot that showed the oxygen leaking into space. This makes the viewer be on the edge of their seat because they will want to know what will happen next. At both of these parts the author and director used different techniques to keep drawling in their audience. Another example from the book where the author created suspense is when he writes “life support systems in rapid decline...

Vincent Romero and Tim Romans were found dead in Romero's home in St. Johns, Arizona. Vincent Romero and Tim Romans were found dead in Romero's home in St. Johns, Arizona. Authorities released the tape Tuesday. The boy, sitting cross-legged in an overstuffed armchair, initially denied involvement in the shootings but later said he shot his already wounded father "because he was suffering." The two officers questioning the boy press him to tell the truth, with one saying at one point, "If you're not honest with me, if you're not truthful, it's not going to look good." The boy later appears to admit to shooting his father, saying, "After I shot him once he was still moving, I think I shot him again." He says on the tape he shot both men twice. Police released the first 12 minutes of the tape, which did not include the alleged confession, earlier Tuesday and released the remainder of the tape late Tuesday afternoon. Video Watch police interrogate the boy » The boy is charged with killing his father, Vincent Romero, 29, along with Tim Romans, 39, a man who rented a room in Romero's home in St. Johns, Arizona.

Close-up can easily bring actor’s feeling to audiences by showing details on their face, from their expressions audiences can know their emotions. Also many details need to be showed to audiences so they can know what is going on, such as the close-up of Simon gives credit card to front desk and the name on the card is Todd. Dolly shots Also the film uses lots of dolly shots. Such as Simon and his friends drive on the road, and Ronna walks into the supermarket, the camera is setting in front of them and moving at the same speed as them to show their movement so the story can keep going.

...offensive players as well. Players who are fouled either receive the ball to pass inbounds again, or receive one or more free throws if they are fouled in the act of shooting, depending on whether the shot was successful. One point is awarded for making a free throw, which is attempted from a line 15 feet (4.6 m) from the basket. The referee is responsible for judging whether contact is illegal, sometimes resulting in controversy. The calling of fouls can vary between games, leagues and referees. There is a second category of fouls called technical fouls, which may be charged for various rules violations including failure to properly record a player in the scorebook, or for unsportsmanlike conduct. These infractions result in one or two free throws, which may be taken by any of the five players on the court at the time. Repeated incidents can result in disqualification. A blatant foul involving physical contact that is either excessive or unnecessary is called an intentional foul (flagrant foul in the NBA). In FIBA, a foul resulting in ejection is called a disqualifying foul, while in leagues other than the NBA, such a...

...there an issue with law enforcement carrying out their duties? Is there truly justice in our justice system? There has been, in recent months, an upheaval in the U.S. Justice system due to the procedures done by officers detaining criminals. The actions, which have been perceived by many to be infringement on civil rights, leave the lives and the law totally into the officer’s hand. It reminds me of one of my favorite movies growing up, Judge Dredd, where the police can also act as the jury, judge and executioner with no penalty to face. As a child growing up this concept was nonchalant to me, but now as a citizen in the U.S today, this childhood fantasy is the scariest thing ever. In November 2014, Cleveland police said officers fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice as the youth reached for an air pistol in his waist (Cleveland police: Slain youth held air gun 'indistinguishable from a real firearm by Ralph Ellis, CNN)....

...On the night of March 3, 2011 I remember the fire trucks speeding by, their sirens piercing my ears, watching them turn down by my best friends old house, and having this horrible feeling fall over my whole body. About an hour before all this happened I remember my dad’s phone ringing, he was asleep in his recliner, so I looked at who was calling, it was Ciba. I remember shaking my dad to wake him up telling him that Ciba was calling but he said he would just call him later. He didn’t know that he would never get the chance. My parents told me to watch my sister and that they would be right back, they were just going to run to Ciba’s house to make sure everything was okay and that one of his buildings probably just caught on fire. I waited up for an hour waiting for them to come home, and they didn’t. My sister ran into my room late at night yelling for me to wake up because Ciba was dead and Jamie was missing....

...every news? Media tend to pay more attention to the news about African-American got murdered. In Trayvon Martin’s case, he was an African-American teenager who was shot by the neighborhood watch, George Zimmerman. The media described Zimmerman as ‘white Hispanic’ who shot a black boy without suggesting that he might did that to protect himself. So why do media keep calling Zimmerman as a ‘white Hispanic’? It is because they believe that sensationalism can attract more readers. Trayvon Martin was a 17-year-old high school boy who was shot after having an argument with the neighborhood watch, George Zimmerman. After the shot was fired, polices arrived and found Martin shot dead by Zimmerman. Zimmerman was taken to the police station for questioning but was released later due to lack of evidence. Zimmerman claimed that he shot Martin because he was self-defending from a violent young boy. After several weeks of protesters and misleading news, Zimmerman was soon charged with murder. The trial began on June 10, 2013 and on July 13 the jury released him. Two years later, the department of justice declared that there...

...This can be the most damaging bias, especially when the media build a crisis, and then refuse to report facts that oppose their earlier reporting.” (Capital Research) A very controversial topic in light of the parkland school shooting is should we have stricter laws. There are the liberals who are calling for stricter gun law’s. Then there are the conservatives who are claiming that stricter gun laws are not the answer. This has crippled the American citizens and caused yet another divide between the people who are pro second amendment and those for stricter guns laws. All the while a news article reported May 25,2018 on CNN was released which claimed, “We're 21 weeks into 2018, and there have already been 23 school shootings where someone was hurt or killed. That averages out to more than 1 shooting a week”. (CNN) This number of school shootings are incredibly high and I have only heard of two of these. The reason as to why the number is so high is because CNN set up certain constraints to count them as school shootings. Those constraints are, “A shooting that involved at least one person being shot (not including the shooter), A shooting that occurred on school grounds, we included grades K through college/university level, we included gang violence, fights and domestic violence, we included accidental discharge of a firearm as long as the first two parameters are met.” (CNN) CNN created this set of standards in order to push their opinions...

...Shooting of Black Teen Sparks Protest Darrel Kessler Fundamentals of Interpersonal Communication Instructor Kelli Kapp Everest University December 14, 2014 On August 9th 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri a police officer shot an unarmed teen named Michael Brown. The shooting has caused an outrage because Michael Brown was an 18 year old black man and he was shot by a 28 year old white police officer named Darren Wilson. Some protesters are calling this a racial shooting, claiming that the only reason the police officer shot Michael Brown is because he was a black man. Michael Brown was walking down the street with his friend Dorian Johnson when Officer Wilson pulled up and asked them to move to the sidewalk. That is when Michael Brown got into an altercation with Officer Wilson through the window of his cruiser. A shot was heard and then Michael Brown and Dorian Johnson took off running in opposing directions. Officer Wilson began firing rounds and fired a total of 12 rounds; seven or eight of them hit Michael Brown. There are conflicting stories from witnesses as to what happened that day. Some say that Michael Brown had his hands up surrendering to the officer, and others are not sure whether or not he was surrendering. The shooting sparked civil unrest in Ferguson, people were looting, protesting, and vandalizing. By doing those things people are expressing their anger towards the police officers, their concerns for their own safety, their need to have their opinions...
