...Haley Wyrick Pam Smith ENGL 1301.102 10 Feb. 2014 Learn From Your Accidents One late Friday summer night, 6 years ago, there was a situation that made me sense as if my whole life flashed right before my eyes. I thought life for me was all over. As I was looking around screaming for help, I was terrified, in disbelief, filled with fear and shock. I used to be the kind of person who thought nothing could ever hurt me. In other words, you could say I was optimistic and too naive to be afraid of anything. However, during the time I had tears rolling down my face and feeling as if nobody could hear me. “Am I dying?” I thought to myself. At that very moment I made myself believe I would not ever be able to walk on the earth ever again. I myself had never felt so petrified in my life. “Oh do you remember those sweet, almost innocent choices that the Indian boys were forced to make?” (Alexie 144) You should always think before your actions. One night of “possible fun” could change your life forever. Your life can be taken abruptly. So you have to make your choices wisely. Consequently, my friends and I had made the decision to go to our first party this Friday night. We had been drinking all night long and decided to go race four-wheelers. Which led to a huge mistake, resulting the reason I was on the ground screaming for help! I had tumbled off a 10 foot cliff drop off, and the four-wheeler landed right on top of my body. With it slamming down and smashing my head to the ground...

...While the launch of (Spiderman 2) may appeal to a broad audience – this campaign will target Men aged 16 – 24. We will focus efforts in areas in urban and suburban markets where movie theaters exist. （介绍这是什么，why吸引）target Spiderman 2 is a specific type of movie – Action/Superhero – which are typically skewed to males. We have selected age 16-24 because they have seen the Spiderman movies, TV shows and comics. We also feel that there will be exposure to men outside of the target.

Afterschool he stays for baseball practice then goes home or to his friend’s house where they hang out or do homework. On weekends, Peter works at the local mall as a server for a hot dog vendor. Often he and his friends meet up at the mall during work breaks. Peter communicates with his friends via mobile and social networks. They often “snap” (snapchats) rather than carrying out a text or IM conversation. (daily life and behavior) The campaign will reach Peter his friends are in the evenings or on weekends via mobile/social and OOH. The use of social and OOH will be integrated. （讲各个media细节用）The OOH strategy would use larger than life units to “break thru” （提及关键词）and be impactful. While Peter was working today he watched as a giant Spiderman billboard was placed on the theater in the mall. It was difficult to miss and made it look like Spiderman...

...Leadership Qualities Reassessment Paper Ronald Nance BS, RN August 25, 2015 Mary Jane Sansouci The class has revealed that some of the leadership qualities that I initially thought I possessed were both correct and incorrect. An accurate analysis revealed that my personal confidence scored very high on the initial assessment and I believe that still holds true. However, the assessment also stated that I have a deficiency in providing a vision to the people I lead and I definitely still do not agree with that observation. I believe my leadership style is closely related to a transformational style that motivates and rallies people toward a common goal and belief. Vision is an attribute that I believe I utilize quite often to convey an idea and plan when providing guidance to the people seeking leadership. Personally, I aspire to become a more consistent leader when faced with challenges that I don’t want to take on. Proper education and research will provide me with the tools I need to enhance my leadership qualities. Ultimately, advancing my knowledge will create avenues within the leadership environment. I will enhance my communication style in order to effectively convey perspectives and initiatives according to task at hand. In addition, I will become an avid listener to facilitate discussions amongst my peers. The incorporation of these skills will foster a more effective leadership style. Leadership is not always something that is innate within an individual...

...whistleblowing specifically refers to the revealing of concerns about legitimate criminal or unjust acts that present danger to the environment of the organization. Therefore, the whistleblower is the person who has a concern within their organization and is moved to raise that concern to the leadership of their workplace or to an external authority (About Whistleblowing). When done in the right context and for the right reasons whistleblowing is ethically acceptable under both the Utilitarian theory and the Deontological theory of ethics. While the act of whistleblowing is considered ethical under the reasoning of these two theories, the outcome of whistleblowing is not always glorious for the whistleblower. Instead most whistleblowers raise their concerns as a means of creating a better future for the organization, as well as all of its stakeholders. An employee who chooses to be a whistleblower is often times ridiculed and despised within their organization, especially when little or nothing is done about their concerns after they are raised. In the article, Patient safety, ethics and whistleblowing: A nursing response to the events at the Campbelltown and Camden Hospitals, Megan-Jane Johnstone writes “In situations where nurses report their concerns to an appropriate authority but nothing is done to either investigate or validate their claims, nurses are faced with the ethical dilemma and 'choice'...

...First to start off I’m going to describe what a political machine is. It is a political organization in which an authoritative boss or small group commands the support and business. They usually command campaign workers. And they help receive rewards for efforts. They follow a hierarchy system and reward political power, Political Machine dates back to the 20th century in the United State. It helps uses tangible incentives like money, political jobs and that is characterized by leaderships. It also started as grass roots organizations to gain the patronage needed to win the modern election. Having strong patronage, these "clubs" were the main driving force in gaining and getting out the "straight party vote" in the election districts “My logo for this campaign on abortion would be everyone deserves a life and have the chance to be loved.” Because it as simple as that a baby is a human, just because it isn’t born yet doesn’t mean it deserves to die. The wise Dr. Seuss said “ A person is a Person no matter how small.” The political party I’m going to represent is the New York State Right to Life Party. New York State Right to Life Party was founded in 1970 to oppose the legalization of abortion. The New York State Right to Life Party was the party first made the state ballot in the 1978 it was to elect...

...SHORT HISTORY OF THE ILOILO PROVINCIAL HIGH SCHOOL The Iloilo National High School (INHS) is a provincial high School located in Iloilo City, Philippines. The history of the Iloilo High School dates back to the later part of 1902 when a school called the Iloilo Normal School was established in a two-storey building in front of and across the street of the present Provincial Building (now Casa Plaza) to meet the future need for Filipino teachers. The minimum requirement for admission was the completion of the elementary education in the old Spanish schools. The first batch of teachers were selected from experienced American teachers. The first principal was Mr. Lutz, who, despite his past sixty years, was a very kind and understanding man. The initial enrolment was about 250 and was divided into 5 sections. By 1903, the school had a very active literary society called Philomathean and had also a strong baseball team. In 1904, Mr. Covell succeeded Mr. Lutz as principal. To accommodate more students, preparatory classes were organized. For the first time Filipino students were selected as government pensionados to continue their studies in the United States. Among those selected were Candido Alcazar, Ambrosio Gison, Delfin Jaranilla, Carlos Lopez, Leon Nava, Balbino Palmares, Graciano Rico, Cirilo Torreblanca and Felix Valencia. In 1905, Mr. Maxson succeeded Mr. Covell as principal. The pensionados then were Geronimo Huising, Isabelo Lagniton, Claro Pendon, and...

...While the Registered Nurse, be it ADN or BSN, provides similar care as regards skill level, medicine administration, and composition of care plans, the LVN is more limited in scope. The LVN is not permitted to hang or push IV medications, perform admission assessments, write nursing care plans, or flush PICC/Central lines. Differences between ADN and BSN are often more subtle as regards both learning and application. Bachelor level nurses typically demonstrate a higher level of competency when dealing with patients of greater comorbidity and acuity as well as a more sophisticated approach to decision making. Medical terminology indicates comorbidity as multiple system diagnosis of disease, such as a patient with both acute renal failure and congestive heart failure. Such an individual presents a unique challenge in that blood pressure control is at risk via both systems. While both ADN and BSN may approach the nephrologist regarding use of a diuretic, the BSN will have a superior understanding regarding risks/side-affects as pertains to each system, ideal length of use, and related laboratory results to communicate to each physician specialist. This difference in ability stems, in part, from additional hours exposing them to extensive pathophysiology, pharmacology, and research involving all aspects of the profession. Acuity reflects patient stability and while list of diagnosis, patient history, and physical may contribute a more intimate knowledge of client needs, the...
