...APA Frequently Asked Questions (Using the 6th edition APA manual as reference) The First Few Pages What should I include in my title and running head? According to APA, “A good title is easily shortened to the running head used within the published article” (2010, p. 23). Thus, your title should be specific to your topic, and your running head should be a shorter version. In addition, titles should allude to both the general subject of the paper and the specific focus. For example, a title may read, Teaching Literature and Healthcare: A Humanist Approach. The general topic is teaching literature and healthcare. The specific focus is the humanist approach. The running head would likely read TEACHING LITERATURE AND HEALTHCARE. The subject and focus are clear, and the title is easily abbreviated to form a running head. Try not to go overboard with your title. APA recommends limiting the title to fewer than 12 words (2010, p. 23). Making the topic succinct and fewer than 12 words lessens confusion and awkwardness for your reader. What is an abstract? What should I include in my abstract? The abstract is a summary of the essay. It should range from 150-250 words (APA, 2010, p. 27). Included in the abstract should be a sentence or two that introduce the topic and its significance, a few sentences that explain how the essay will explore and discuss the topic, and a sentence or two that allude to the essay’s conclusions. In other words, the abstract is a succinct summary of the...

...this first part of the assignment is all about. You will briefly refer to the FLC and state which therapists developed it, explain the 6 stages and some of the relevant aspects of this model. The first part of the assignment has nothing to do with the couple you interview. It offers explanations and definitions only. It sets the scene for applying theory to the couple you interviewed. 2. How many words/ pages does this assignment need to be? Would you prefer us to write till we have covered all the topics and made our conclusion? Response The actual essay will be between 10 to 20 written pages and 8 to 12 typed pages. The questionnaire is one of the addendums and will not be included in this length. 3. Do we need to add the questions we asked the couple and their answers in our submission? Or do we use their answers as a general guideline to add to our understanding of the life-cycle theory. Response You have to know the theory well enough to be able to extract parts of the interview that confer or contradict the theory and demonstrate that you actually used the answers of the couple in your discussion of each section. It is best to use a formula such as this…..give a review of theory- provide definitions, an explanation in your own words, then apply the practical quotes or information gathered from the couple. This will demonstrate your ability to apply practice to theory ( integration). So you use their answers as a general guideline to demonstrate your understanding...

...filling out a form. Registering to become a donor is easier today than it has ever been. Anyone can register to become an organ donor, whether you’re young, old, large or small, sick or healthy. Organ donation saves thousands of lives every year and failing to become an organ donor takes away someones chance to live a healthy, normal life. “On average, approximately 30 people die everyday due to a shortage of available organ donors.” (“Frequently Asked Questions.”) The organ donation shortage is easily fixable. If every driver filled out the organ donation portion of their license, the amount of donors would increase by thousands, if not millions. Donation affects more than the donors and recipients. Families, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances who love and support those in need of transplantation, and who benefit from their renewed life and improved health after transplant are also affected. Registering to be an organ donor is a charitable act that costs nothing. “One donor can greatly alter the lives of up to 58 people.” (“Frequently Asked Questions.”) If every driver was a donor, the list of people awaiting transplants would be almost...

Through the years I have gained a deeper understanding of my personal strengths, my own set of values, the morals that guide me, and the person that I am. Each of these facets have continued on a forward path of evolution as I survive trials and tribulations, live through personal and professional experiences, and ingest new opportunities. This set of traits that makes up the person I am is reflected in the way I lead others and the perceptions that others have of my leadership skills. In this research paper I have attempted to gain a deeper understanding of my skills in leadership through deep personal reflection as a result of my peers and managers feedback, and the materials learned throughout my organizational leadership course. I also take a look into the traits and practices that I find to be the most beneficial and desirable...

...In 2001, President George W Bush exercised his right to his first veto. A directive that banned federal funding for any more research into stem cell lines created after that date (August 9, 2001). In 2009, President Barack Obama ended the stem cell ban. Obama said his decision was a “difficult and delicate balance”. He said he wanted to side with the majority of Americans, who did support federal funding for this research. (“Obama reverses Bush-era stem cell policy.” 1) The benefits of this research can lead to new, more effective treatments for human ailments. Stem cell therapy has alleviated the suffering of thousands of people. Unused stem cells are being discarded instead of being used for research. (“Frequently asked questions.” 3) Stem cells are quite resourceful. They can easily be taken from our own bodies and stored just like blood. During radiation or chemotherapy, white and red blood cells can get damaged. These affected cells can easily be replaced with healthy stem cells that adapt. (Pros and cons of stem cell research, 1)The biggest debate about this topic isn’t about whether stem cells work, but who’s going to pay for the research. It’s not a matter of pro-life or pro-choice, it’s pro-science. If my family had the finances for stem cell therapy, we would have made sure that my grandmother was in as little as pain as possible when she was diagnosed with myeloma. No matter what type of injury or disease, cells can easily be replaced with healthy stem cells. (Pros...

...If schools had these at every entrance, then students would not be able to get past the door with a gun ( Differences You Need To Know Between Security And Medical X-Rays 1). For example, if a student brought in a gun in his backpack the scanner would pick that up. And if the student brought in a gun then the teachers could pull out theirs and take the gun away. Schools should have school resource officers on the premise. A school resource officer is a police officer that is sworn to protect everyone at the school. About 20% of schools have a school resource officer (Frequently Asked Questions 1). This not only would help stop school shootings, but also the drugs on campus to go down. Some may argue that these things will not help stop school shootings, but make them more apparent. However, if schools do these things people may try to shoot up a school. But they will not kill as many people with these improvements. School shootings have become a huge problem over this last decade, because schools have not been prepared. But if schools have x-ray scanners, armed teachers, and police officers. The number of school shooting will decrease. So the next time you talk to your school board member bring up this...

Cost to Employer b. Cost to Employee IV. Pros and Cons of offering Domestic Partner Benefits a. Employee benefits b. Company Gains V. Conclusion Wal-Mart (WM) is the largest retailer in the world and operates in all 50 states. Recently passed laws that allow same sex marriage couples to marry legally and this has caused the company to reevaluate its domestic partner benefit offerings. Studies done by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) also show that 62% of fortune 500 companies offer domestic partner benefits to their employees. (Hoenig, 2013) Wal-Mart must continue to be at the front of employee relations and it will be necessary to cover all employees, regardless of lifestyle, in order to maintain those relations. It is important that we define what Domestic Partner is as defined by the government. The Office of Personnel Management states, "For purposes of ensuring consistent implementation of the President’s memorandum, a “domestic partner” is defined in OPM regulations (e.g. 5 C.F.R. § 875.213) as a person in a domestic partnership with an employee or annuitant of the same sex. The term “domestic partnership” is defined as a committed relationship between two adults, of the same sex, in which the partners— (1) are each other’s sole domestic partner and...

...Moreover, the typical women during the 1800s felt like they were nothing but used. Women had no say in what they wanted. Chopin knew what this felt like because she wrote “truthfully about women’s hidden lives and sexuality” (Frequently Asked Questions). Chopin further describes Mrs. Mallard’s life after her husband’s “dead” as “all sorts of days that would be her own” (Chopin180). Women during the 1800s wanted their own lives where they could express themselves without consequence. However, Chopin wrote feminism stories “not to change the world but to describe it accurately” (Frequently Asked Questions). Mr. Mallard was not like any other man though in the 1800s because he actually loved her and treated her as a human. Moreover, marriages during the 1800s were most likely arranged marriages which makes the women unhappy in their lives. Mrs. Mallard felt like for once she...

...Taylor Petty 12/2/2015 English 099 Mr. Adamoschek Is it cruel to use Animals to Test Human products? Approximately 225 million animals are used for testing every year. Billions have been killed in the process. ("Questions and Answers About Biomedical Research.”) How can this be allowed? Isn’t it cruel to use animals to test products for humans? Many animal rights activists say, “yes” to this question. However, scientists argue it is necessary and animal research can help save human lives. There are probable arguments for both sides. But the dangers of using animals to test products for human use weighs an even greater risk than not using the animals. Alternatives are much more ethical. Over the years, scientists have used animals to test the toxicity of products being produced for humans. Their argument is clear: that animals can be helpful in aiding to provide advances in human health and new drug findings. Animal testing has helped find some medicines to fight cancer, as well as other medicines now used, for example: Insulin, antibiotics and HIV drugs. It is this very reason that scientists and others support the testing of animals. In fact, there are even some people that will support the use of medical research on animals but they do not support the use of animals for cosmetics to be tested on. Another aspect they tend to want people to take into consideration is that animal testing helps ensure the safety of drugs being used as well as other substances humans...

...Financial Risk Management – Frequently Asked Questions Module 1 – Introduction to Financial Risk Management 1. What are the major categories of risk? Please provide examples. (Topic heading: Main categories of risk controls) Seven categories of risk are outlined. These are summarised in the table below: Type of risk Liquidity Definition The risk of not being able to pay back what you owe due to the inability to convert assets into cash quickly, without materially moving the price. Example Holding long-term property investments that cannot be converted into cash quickly to pay obligations as they fall due. Funding The risk of funding support not being met by investors or bankers. An existing financier (e.g. bank) withdraws its funding commitment as a result of poor performance by the entity. Interest rate The risk of a change in interest rates impacting borrowing costs, interest income and/or asset/debt values. Central bank increases the cash rate and your company has a floating rate loan pegged to the cash rate. Foreign exchange The risk of the foreign exchange rate fluctuating, impacting the currency conversion of revenues, expenses, assets and/or liabilities. Includes transaction, translation, competitive/economic and accounting exposures. If the AUD falls, an Australian importer of clothing from the US pays more AUD for the same amount of clothing. Commodity price The risk of the change in price of a commodity, whether used as...
