...What comes to your mind when you see a corsage? A corsage is actually three boutonnieres you put together. Wearing flowers on one’s body isn't a new concept; people have been wearing flowers for centuries. The ancient Greeks used to wear it on special days because they were thought to ward off evil spirits. But now, corsages are usually worn to indicate a special person on a special day. By the way, most of your friends are turning eighteen. Why not give them a homemade corsage? To make them feel even more special. How? Listen for the next few minutes and you will learn how to make this 10-step DIY or do it yourself wrist corsage. For the corsage, you’re going to need some simple basic DIY ingredients like stapler, glue gun with the glue stick, and fabric ribbon for about 12” by 1.5” for your bow. You’ll also need a beaded bracelet or any decorative bracelet where you can attach your final corsage. Finally, you need to add some decorative flowers and leaves. I think the cutest flowers for a corsage are mini-roses, paperwhites, cherry flowers or any artificial flowers of your own choice. Now that we have our materials before us, we’re going to start by gluing the fabric ribbon together at the ends to have a loop and staple it at the center to make a two-point bow. Do this with the other ribbon in a like manner. Attach the bow at the top of the other in an opposite direction to make a four-point bow. The next step we’re going to do is to take at least three pieces of any artificial...

...concept of making your own things is known as Do-It-Yourself (DIY). Do-It-Yourself contains aspects of building, repairing and modifying things without the help of a paid professional. A subculture, or better-said counterculture, from the 1970s that makes use of DIY is punk. Punk sets itself off against society and wants to be focussed on the capacity of an individual through self-expression. DIY within the punk subculture can be seen as a rejection of the need to purchase items or use existing systems or processes that would foster dependence on established societal structures. It needs to be stated that punk deliberately chose to use DIY. Nowadays punk slowly fades away out of society. However DIY is still actively used. A company that propagates DIY is IKEA. Nevertheless, IKEA is as Do-It-Yourself as a supermarket where you can take your products from the shelves. Thus, IKEA abuses the concept of DIY as intended by the punk movement. These different examples of DIY show how widely the interest in this topic varies over time and space. In the search for what makes DIY so widely applied, DIY will be used as the central common feature in the analysis and comparison between values and goals of the subculture of punk and the multinational store IKEA. This article argues that IKEA has nothing in common with DIY and therefore it gets mistreated by IKEA. A comparison will be made between DIY as propagated by IKEA and DIY as used by the punk movement, which will clarify the statement...

Coming out of my fantasy with this Doctor I now knew that it was time for the big birth. He spoke fluently in his barrow town voice, “ Ms.Luckett are you ready” my reply was a smile so wide you could see the breakfast I had two hours before. He escorted me through the halls that seem as if they were never going to end. I was greeted by so many different smiles and body languages. Finally I had made it to my destination! The room was very dark and cold. In the room it was two chairs with floral printing on them that rocked back and forth. A television that looked like it was there since the WWII, and a bed that looked like it was hard enough to drive a car upon. The doctor gave me the ropes of the procedure and stated that I shouldn’t be afraid. As I lay in the bed with nothing but a gown on feel like I’m exposing myself to the world. Family and friends were stopping by and was overjoyed with what was about to happen in any second. During this time I was so calm like the sand on the beach until I realized that my whole life was about to change. I panic tears were rolling down my face like a river flow. The doctor...

...I do think that people who develop new technology should be required to have their innovation screened. The reason I think that one should have their innovation screened is because it’s a core essential part of the idea being developed. It also allows technology to grow and transform into something even better. Technology is transforming innovation at its core. It allows many companies and new industries to test new ideas and with the help of technology speed has become everything, the development can be posted on web sites, and one can tell the results within hours on how customers respond to the new product. If the product does good during the testing session this can result getting in stores and promoting the product, this can boost the process and productivity very quickly. With a trial base I also think this does not allow the inventor failure because there will be feedback before moving forward on a product. This makes innovation and growth, more efficient and cheaper to be screened. Companies are able to give prior feedback and better ideas on how their customers like this product and what they want. This allows for prior marketing if the product is a success through prior screening. once the accessible technology is in place, including new technology, it is rolled out to the organization. This step also involves increasing awareness among employees about the availability of accessible technology and training employees on how to use the accessibility features, and last...

...pay for services. Users might pay for devices, but who's going to pay for the voice and data plans? There are a couple of ways you can handle cost-sharing, but it's important to pick one and get users to agree to it. You're going to have to draft acceptable use and security policies that include the consequences of violation. Then you need to train users and help desk staff on best practices and support. You'll have to know how to handle the biggest BYOD challenges, security. At a urban health plan inc their doctors travel a large hospital with their iThings, recording patient information, diagnostic data and preparing reports. The network travels with the doctor, following him or her throughthe building. When it’s time to print, the request is sent to the closest printer where the patient record is hard copied for the patient’s file and prescription scripts are prepared. Instead of stopping 10 minutes to prepare paperwork, increased roaming network allows the doctor to visit more patients in less time. I would implement BYOD policies in a company. I think the pros far outweigh the cons....

... It's sort of my reflection on the cyclical nature of life. And how we are a lot more connected than we understand or admit. The poem is titled: 'I realized last night that, for the first time in my life, I am finally really willing to be an organ donor.' ------------------------------ Sweet sixteen One summer afternoon, about out the door for family dinner at Outback Steakhouse. Went to check on my bestie Jenie, staying with me for the summer, kicked out of her own house again, one more time. I had a feeling. Are you sure you don't want to come with us? I said, peeking into the top bunk of my little brothers bed. No response. Motionless, unconscious. I ran to my auntie, doctor frances, downstairs. "She'll be okay," said doctor frances. We called the ambulance anyway. "She'll be okay, "said doctor frances, again, after they wheeled Jenie away on a stretcher. Jenie went to icu, had her stomach pumped, went to rehab after that. We pretty much pretended nothing had happened. Time passed. Lots of things happened. One winter afternoon, the ripe age of 22, my mom dropped me off at a portland clinic, 10th floor of an office building. "babies are expensive," my single-father boyfriend had said. i took his word for it, and took the valium and the vicodin from the nurse, listened to them read me quotes from other girls in my condition about how happy they were with their choice. I lied back on the table, sucked in the nitrous...

...The Story of an Hour Analysis Kate Chopin’s short story called The Story of an Hour fits its title because the whole story happens in literally an hour or less. In the story the first character we hear about is Mrs. Mallard a wife of a man who works at a railroad; it is also known that she has a heart disease. We also hear about her sister, Josephine who had to break the news to Mrs. Mallard about her husband’s supposed death, the last character is Mr. Mallards friend named Richards, who seems to be with Josephine just for moral support and to be there if anything were to happen. The setting took place in Mr. and Mrs. Mallards house when Josephine went to break the news “in broken sentences” to her about the railroad accident that happened and seemed to cause the life of Mr. Mallard. The story is told in third person, and it only takes an hour or less to find out what really happened at the railroads. After she had heard of the disaster that had happened back at the railroads she started to cry on her sisters shoulders. She was paralyzed at the fact that her husband had died she was in a huge shock and did not expect such news. The story then goes on talking about depression “There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? She did not know” I believe that what was coming to her was a depression that she had never felt before. Mrs. Mallard’s felt guilt mostly because she realized that she had taken her husband for granted. Also, by taking...

Over the cost of the iphone and subscription this aplication offers several advantages including security (greatly reduces errors) ease (easy to use) and effectiveness (prescription sent directly to the pharmacy) for me and customer. 4) The pharmacy will be more reticent in front of this project because the application takes a commission on the sale, which reduces her margin especially as the competition is fierce with the online pharmacy is growing in the market. 5) The application allow to be clearer and avoids the mistakes of understanding and writing, but if the error comes from a wrong manipulation of the doctor the Script Pad is not 100 % safe.

...people occurs throughout the United States in every doctors office, hospital, dentist office, nursing homes, home health services, and chemical plants. The communication strategies between the patient and doctor are very important. One simple and basic law for communication among different cultures, genders, and races is that people who are alike tend to communicate better with each other. Over the years of research, studies have shown that individuals with different nationalities tend to communicate less with each other. An example of a difficult communication scenario can be found in a hospital or doctors office. In this particular communication scenario or situation, the intelligent doctor with high status has to relay information to an individual with little or no knowledge of medical terms. In most cases, the doctor finds himself or herself in a difficult situation trying to communicate verbally the diagnosis to a less educated individual. Individuals with high education levels would most likely understand the doctor’s diagnoses. Researchers state that the misunderstanding between the patient and doctor occurs at three levels. The first level of low socioeconomic patient status occurs when the patient have asked little question about his or her condition. Also at this particular level, the patient reveals little or no information about his or her conditions. The second level of socioeconomic patient status occurs when the doctor does not involve the patient in the decision to...

...life) tumor in her pelvis. Luckily, the doctors knew it was just one and not a 2. sarcoma (a group of tumors from connective tissue). The doctors at first were not sure the plan for which to go about this tumor, because of the size of it. Over time though they eventually had a well thought through plan on how to help Melissa and fight for her life. Mellissa began her treatment by having a few rounds of 3. brachytherapy (treatment method that the radiation source is placed directly into the tumor or close to it). The 4. cm (master in surgery) knew though it was time to take the next step with a surgery in hopes to use the method 5. debulking (removes much as the tumor as possible). The day of the surgery comes, doctors check her blood pressure by a 6.sphygmomanometer (measures the pressure) and Mellissa is given 7. gtt (drops) of 8. anesthesia (class of drugs to render a patient unconscious or semi unconscious). The type of anesthesia she is given in regional so therefore she is still conscious for the procedure. Mellissa is given the anesthesia by a 9. spinal block (anesthesia injected anywhere in the spinal cord, the structures below this point are affected). Mellissa is now on the surgery table in the 10. Trendelenburg position (patient is lying on the back with the pelvis higher than the head with the knees slightly bent and the legs hanging off the table). The doctors had her in this position due to the area of the tumor. The doctors kept a close look on her 11. bpm (beats...
