...Prisoner Reentry Imagine being in prison serving a five year sentence for your first offense of being a manufacture and distributing drugs. You probably couldn’t picture that in your mind because it is something you never want to happen and think that never would happen. That is what ran through my mind growing up, that I would never experience life in prison. But years ago, after graduating from high school going into college I surrounded myself around the wrong type of people. I found myself being in college that it was hard to get a job and concentrate on school, and one day I was introduced to the possibility of making money. The way I was going to make money was by distributing drugs, and my first few thoughts were; I shouldn’t do this because of the consequences of being caught, or I should take this opportunity to make some good money while in school. At the end of the day I ended up taking the opportunity and after continuing to do it for a year a two months, I was caught distributing and then sentenced to five years of prison. That was the time of my life where I was scared because I did not know what to do or what to expect prison was going to be like for me. My time being in prison everyday consisted of waking up at 7:30am everyday as officers did a roll call, eat breakfast at 8am then go do the job I was assigned to do that day if there was any, from there I would go to lunch and then back to work if there was more work to be done or I would go back to my cell to...

In this profile, I will discuss how Payne Stewart, Professional Golfer, started out on the PGA Tour, detailing some of the experiences that shaped him; his struggles with making a living while playing the game, his professional accomplishments, personal losses and magnificent triumphs. In June 1999, Payne Stewart was at the top of his game; during the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2. Mr. Stewart’s wife, Tracey, described her husband’s life-long love of the game, his natural athletic ability, and the mentoring and coaching he received from his father beginning at the age of four. He had a lot of amateur success and played college golf at Southern Methodist University in Texas. His apparent lack of interest in academics spanned from elementary school through college; only applying himself only when it would allow him to further pursue his dream of a career as a professional golfer.

Based on health statistics, the Philippines is one of the 42 countries that account for 90% of under-five mortality worldwide. 82,000 Filipino children under five years old die every year. 37% of them are newborn. The Child Survival Strategy published by the Department of Health has emphasized the need to strengthen health services of children throughout the stages. The neonatal period has been identified as one of the most crucial phase in the survival and development of the child. The United Nations Millennium Development Goal Number 4 of reducing under five child mortality can be achieved by the Philippines however if the neonatal mortality rates are not addressed from its non-moving trend of decline, MDG 4 might not be achieved Majority of them (3/4) die within the first two days of life.

The current practice of handling newborns, like clamping and cutting the umbilical cord and washing the baby right after birth, have been known to actually contribute to the high incidence of neonatal deaths and illnesses in the country. Thus the need for a paradigm shifts from the prevailing standard procedures into the new protocol.

... April 9, 2016 Instructor McAndrew Week One Assignment 1 A. Sonja fails to pay the second annual premium due on January 1. She dies 15 days later. When it comes to the premium which is the ordinary life insurance, the beneficiary will receive the proceeds of that policy because there is a grace period of 31 days to pay the overdue premium and by Sonja’s death occurring within that time frame of the grace period the beneficiary has the right to receive the proceeds from that policy. (Rejda, George, McNamara, 2014). B. Sonja commits suicide three years after the policy was purchased. When it comes to this situation, there is a “suicide clause” that states that if the insured commits suicide within two years after the policy is issued the face amount of the insurance will not be paid but, there will only be a refund of the premiums paid to the beneficiary. (Rejda, George, McNamara, 2014). In this case Sonja committed suicide three years after the policy was purchased so the beneficiary will receive the proceeds of the policy because the suicide clause has expired. C. At Sonja's death, the life insurer discovers that Sonja deliberately lied about her age. Instead of being 25 years old, as she indicated, she was actually 26 years old at the time the policy was purchased. When it comes to this situation there is a misstatement of age or sex clause, that states if an insured’s age or sex is misstated the amount payable is the amount that the premium...
