...MENTAL ILLNESS October 2001, just after September 11, he started acting and behaving erratically. He was not the same man we have known as Uncle Dan for the past few years. What has happened to him? Has he suffered from some type of mental illness? According to Canadian Health Association “mental illnesses can take many forms, just as physical illnesses do” (Canadian Mental Health Association, 2009). Uncle Dan was born and raised in a small town named Quesnel, located in the South Western part of Canada. Although his parents were not wealthy, they were not financially restricted either, due to the abundance of lumber mills in this region. They had pushed and financed their children education, for they knew that it was an investment into the future. Even though Uncle Dan’s parent never received a formal education, they were fully aware of the importance of going to college. As an honor graduate from the local High school, Uncle Dan received a scholarship from the province university, BC University, to continue his education. That year, he had met Julia, my mother’s younger sister, whom he married a year later. Shortly afterward, Dan dropped out of the University and returned home to work in a local mill. The only explanation that was given to his parents was “College is not meant for people like me.” While this was not the extent of Uncle Dan’s transformation, it was not enough of a significant warning sign that Uncle Dan had a mental issue. In fact, it was not until that...

...Assignment 2: Treatment of Mentally Ill Prisoners 1.0 The Treatment of Mentally Ill Prisoners The treatment of mentally ill inmates has been not only a public concern, but has also been identified by Canada’s Correctional Investigator, Howard Sapers as an issue of concern in his 2014 report to parliament. Between 1997 and 2007, offenders entering the prison system with a mental disorder grew 71% in men and 61% in women (Canadian Mental Health Association, 2012). The problem at hand is that correctional institutes and their staff are not widely trained to deal with inmates who suffer from mental disorders. The result then, is that use-of-force interventions, and placement in solitary confinement, often for extended periods of time, are used as methods of dealing with unruly behaviours exhibited by these mentally ill offenders. While there are various issues surrounding mental health in the Canadian judicial system, for the purpose of this report, the discussion will be focused around inadequate methods for dealing with behaviours presented by these inmates, namely by use-of-force and solitary confinement 1.1 Use-Of-Force Techniques In Sapers 2014 report, it is reported that “28% of all use of force interventions involved an offender with a mental health concern as identified by the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC)” (Ministry of Public Safety, 2014). This is likely due to the fact that mentally ill inmates are more likely to self-harm, have unpredictable behaviour...

...As Bayer approached its first quarter in April 2010, chief executive officer Dr. Marijin Dekkers explained that “Bayer operating performance was back on track, compared with the crisis year 2009”. Bayer Group had sales of $35.1 billion. Clearly, 2010 was a successful year for Bayer in terms of business expansion and growth. The group examined Bayer financial statements to determine if the picture presented by Dekker is reflected in the financial performance of the firm by examining financial ratios using information from the Income statement and balance sheet. Financial ratios help to identify some of the financial strength and weakness of firms. The ratios give us two ways on making meaningful comparisons of the financial data. First, we examined the ratios across time ( for example, five years) to identify trends and we can compare the firm’s ratio with those of other firms. This financial analysis will allows us to see if Bayer is as good as management claims it to be. Analysis of Financial Ratios Bayer’s sales increased by 12.6% from 2009 to 2010, after dropping 5.3% from 2008 to 2009. However, Bayer’s gross profit margin remained stable, increasing from 47.20% in 2006, 49.50% in 2007, 50.00% in 2008, 51.44% in 2009 and 51.50% in 2010. On the other hand, Bayer net profit margin decreased over the same period, falling from 10.77% in 2008 to 9.64% in 2009 to 7.78% in 2010. The decrease in 2010 is more significant than the previous years, this is caused...

The analyses have shown that it is very difficult to name a single data mining algorithm to be the most suitable for the medical data. The results gained for the algorithms were very similar.

...beginning the christian life “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ...” 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord, then you are a Christian. According to the New Testament, you are also a new creation. You are beginning a whole new life! And just as a newborn baby needs certain things in order to be healthy and to grow up, so do you, as a new Christian, need certain things to grow spiritually. First, you need to be in fellowship with other Christians. It is through fellowship that you will learn more about God and about how to live as a Christian. You should plan to attend church regularly and join a kinship group so that you can develop close friendships with other believers. Vineyard has many kinship groups that meet on different days and in different locations throughout central Ohio. Choose one that is convenient for you so that you can be encouraged in your new relationship with God! Second, you need to pray, which is simply talking to God. Prayer is how you will grow in your relationship with God and how you can begin to allow Him to work in areas of your life. And third, you need to read the Bible on a regular basis. It is through the Bible that God will speak to you about Himself and your life needs. Beginning the Christian Life Series was developed by Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Columbus for new...
