...Red Cross club members in becoming organ donors and to act upon their decision to donate. I. INTRODUCTION A. Attention Getter: What is the feeling of having to wait long for something that you really need? How do you feel when it’s something you can’t do without? Many years back, one of my best friends in primary school was diagnosed with a kidney failure. He was around seven years when the wait for a new kidney began. Two years later, he had been called thrice informing him that there was still no match for him. Fortunately for him, a young adult involved in a bad accident agreed to donate his organs after death. His kidney was the match that my friend needed. Similarly, most people would want to be able to say that they have saved a life? What other selfless way than becoming an organ donor? B. Tie to the audience: You never know whether one of the people on the waiting list would be you or somebody you know. C. Thesis statement: There is a growing need for organ donors and it is becoming a donor after death is a lifesaving decision. D. Thesis and Preview: I’d like to talk to you about the need for organ donors, how to become one after death and how it benefits both your family and the organ recipients. However, there are numerous stigmas associated with organ donation but most of them are false and as a result of lack of proper information about organ donation. Therefore I will also talk about the arguments against donations. (I’ll begin by informing you about the...

...Type/name of the program: How I Met Your Mother, CBS channel 4. Title: How I Met Your Mother, season 2 episode 7 – The Crazy Eyes (Swarley) DESCRIBE THE 20 MINUTE ACTION: Ted, Marshall and Barney are sitting in a coffee shop where they figured out is not as fun as sitting in a bar. While drinking their coffee, Ted notices a heart on Marshall’s cup. He and Barney assume that coffee shop girl has a crush on Marshall. They are encouraging him to invite her on a drink. Marshall brags about how she likes his pumpkin jokes. That in Ted’s opinion can mean only two things – either girl has never heard a joke before, or has a crush on Marshall. Marshall is, however, not convinced. Ted and Barney try to prove him that heart next to his name is meaning something. When doing that, Barney discovers that his name is not written correctly. Instead of Barney is Swarley. He realizes this name will stick to him. Second scene takes place at Robin’s apartment. Robin is girlfriend of Ted. She is on the phone with her mother, but she is willing to talk to Ted even though her mother is still speaking. Ted tells her about Marshall and his date and that he helped him get the girl. Robin discovers that look, that made her sleep with Ted was fake. She can’t believe she fell for it until Ted reminds her that she has a familiar look for seducing. Lily, Marshall’s ex-girlfriend appears with plans for next evening. She is considering inviting Marshall too, but Ted tells her that he is busy. Lily is...

...Robert Frost is one of America’s most beloved poets, and "Mending Wall" is one of his most popular poems. This poem tells the tale of a rock wall which sits between two properties in the countryside. Something continually destroys this rock wall. A compelling aspect of "Mending Wall" is the Frostian sense of mystery and loneliness. What begins as a quest to discover the identity of the wall-destroyer, ends in a meditation on the value of tradition and boundaries. "Mending Wall" is the first poem in North of Boston, Frost’s second book of poetry. This book was published when Frost was in England, rubbing elbows with the likes of W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot, andEzra Pound. Frost was a contemporary of many modernist poetic movements, but he isn’t associated with any particular group of poets. He marched to his own drummer, and as a result, he garnered a good deal of criticism from the literary world. But, it is precisely because he was such an individual and his voice so original that Frost became so beloved. Born in San Francisco, Frost moved to Massachusetts at age eleven following his father’s death. He attended both Dartmouth College and Harvard University, but never earned a college degree. He was, however, often invited to teach at Dartmouth and Harvard later on in his life. You know you’re good when you get to teach college students without having a diploma yourself. After spending some time in England, Frost befriended a lot of poetic giants, including William Butler Yeats...

...shriek of the thousand hiding voices, the cry of the Need inside, the entity, the silent watcher, the cold quiet thing, the one that laughs, the Moondancer. The me that was not-me, the thing that mocked and laughed and came calling with its hunger. With the Need. And the Need was very strong now, very careful cold coiled creeping crackly cocked and ready, very strong, very much ready now—and still it waited and watched, and it made me wait and watch. I had been waiting and watching the priest for five weeks now. The Need had been prickling and teasing and prodding at me to find one, find the next, find this priest. For three weeks I had known he was it, he was next, we belonged to the Dark Passenger, he and I together. And that three weeks I had spent fighting the pressure, the growing Need, rising in me like a great wave that roars up and over the beach and does not recede, only swells more with every tick of the bright night's clock. But it was careful time, too, time spent making sure. Not making sure of the priest, no, I was long sure of him. Time spent to be certain that it could be done right, made neat, all the corners folded, all squared away. I could not be caught, not now. I had worked too hard, too long, to make this work for me, to protect my happy little life. And I was having too much fun to stop now. And so I was always careful. Always tidy. Always prepared ahead of time so it would be right. And when it was right, take extra time to be...

...Factors That Contribute to Nurse Manager Retention Mickey L. Parsons, Jana Stonestreet Disclosures Nurs Econ. 2003;21(3) * Print * Email Introduction The purpose of this study was to describe factors that contribute to a health system's successful retention of nurse managers. This study is the first of a series that will provide the foundation for developing the nursing organization as a "health-promoting organization." The background and significance, theoretical framework, study findings, and executive strategies are discussed. The results and implications are intended to guide executive strategies, including organizational interventions, to build the nursing organization for quality patient care and positive working environments. Background and Significance The glue that holds the hospital together are the first-line managers. However, these managers are caught in a crossfire. Torn between multiple needs — patient, the staff, and the administration — nurse managers have been downsized and stretched over multiple units (Curtin, 2001). Nurse managers responsible for multiple units are severely challenged to maintain the needed blend and balance of clinical and business management, which is essential to staff nurse retention. Report after report identifies the importance of the nurse manager in retaining nursing staff (Boyle, Bott, Hansen, Woods, & Taunton, 1999; Corser, 1998; Cullen, 1999; Flannery & Grace, 1999; Fletcher, 2001; Kerfoot, 2000; Leveck...

...This Week in Sex: Bisexual Men Have Unique Needs, Casual Sex Is Good for Some, Later Childbirth Linked to Longer Life by Martha Kempner June 27, 2014 - 11:50 am A new study suggests that reactions to casual sex are mostly about the individuals who are having it and how authentic they are being to their own sexual mores. (Couple in bed via Shutterstock) This Week in Sex is a weekly summary of news and research related to sexual behavior, sexuality education, contraception, STIs, and more. The Public Health Community and the Needs of Bisexual Men A new study in the Journal of Preventative Medicine argues that the public health community has not paid enough attention to the unique needs of bisexual men. In Beyond the Bisexual Bridge, author William Jeffries suggests that men who have sex with men and women (MSMW) are often seen as transmitters of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV, and, more to the point, as the way in which certain diseases or epidemics jump from gay men to heterosexuals of both sexes. By looking at them as disease vectors and not a population with their own sexual health issues, however, Jeffries believes that we are making bisexual men more vulnerable to STIs. Only about 2 percent of the male population identifies as MSMW but, according to the study, their sexual health needs and experiences are different from those of heterosexual or straight men. They are more likely to have early sexual debut, forced sexual encounters, and sex in...

...The Best of Many Worlds: Human Resources in the Singapore Business Environment A Regional Research Report Prepared By Salman Khan, Carly Rae Jepsen, Psy and Anita Mui S P Jain School of Global Management Global BBA Program, Singapore April 3, 2012 Executive Summary Human Relations: The department or support systems responsible for personnel sourcing and hiring, applicant tracking, skills development and tracking, benefits administration and compliance with associated government regulations. (Entrepreneur.com) The human resources (HR) role is becoming increasingly important in the business world. Human resources includes the combination of traditionally administrative personnel functions with performance management, employee relations, and resource planning. The field draws upon concepts developed in industrial/organizational psychology. In the past, HR personnel did a lot of administrative work. This is changing with the global shift to service-based industries. As the role evolved, HR practitioners wanted to become business partners and actually engage more in the organization’s core business. At present, we see the function of HR going beyond being that of just a business partner to being at the forefront and, in some instances, heading business initiatives (Jones, 2012). We became interested in the field of HR for several reasons. One, it offers an attractive area of employment for business students. Also, it requires a good mix of interpersonal...

For more information, please contact libir@emich.edu. Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory of Motivation Applied to the Motivational Techniques within Financial Institutions Abstract Throughout time, many have attempted to develop detailed theories and studies of motivation, satisfaction, and self-awareness. Each of those theories at some point has been applied and tested as to its effects on people’s lives, jobs, and personal goals in life and in the work place. Due to my strong interest in the management fields specifically, I have decided to look into the different styles of motivation that managers and leaders of organizations within the financial industry typically use. After all, it has been said that one of the manager’s most basic tasks is to communicate with and motivate their workers (Ruthanakoot, 2003). It would be very difficult to try to pinpoint one theory or even one technique that seems to work better or is more effective for a certain organization. The way individuals respond to different motivational styles and techniques will often clash or contradict one another. Instead, what is important to realize, and what I will explore and...
