...Personal Impact Paper Crystal Martin NUR/427 09/07/2015 Kathy Cavanaugh Personal Impact Paper Diabetes is one of the most common chronic illnesses that we see in the healthcare field. Majority of the patients I see and care for have either a mild, moderate or severe form of the disease. Along with diagnosing a patient with diabetes, a lot of education is to follow in order to manage it so long term effects don’t occur or can be prolonged. My father-in-law has had many health issues since he was a young adult. Diabetes is what has hit him the hardest and has affected him the most socially, financially and personally. I have known my father-in-law for many years, before my husband and I of nine years were married. He’s has always been a home body and has struggled with money ever since his health issues came about. Before he could qualify for disability or medicare he was having to pay his $6,000 deductible, through his wife’s insurance, in order to receive help on his supplies to manage his diabetes. He struggles with credit card debt because he relies on them to get him through the year financially. He is in the works of possibly filing bankruptcy soon due to his high amount of debt and still has trouble making ends meet. I never really knew all the expenses involved when trying to manage this chronic disease. The medication alone is very pricey, then on top of that you have the test trips and glucose monitor to purchase. It all adds up and for a...

...Punks with cockscomb and full metal jackets My personal opinion on this case is that punks should be allowed to be punks. Each generation have its own style and way to live. You can’t deny the youth to be themselves; this would result in a new generation of country-loving nutcase’s adults. Which I think we already had one generation to many of right? If you want your guardians to allow you to express in whatever way you want. Ask them, challenge them, torture them until you get an answer how their parents reacted when they found out their children listened to Pink Floyd, Jimmy Hendrix, The Doors, Led zeppelin and so on. Their parents would scream shout tear their hair out cry over how their small angel children could be seduced by this devil music. And still your parents as the tiny evil creatures they are sneak away listen to the music they thought fit to them best. There loving helpful careful parents thought they kids had become mentally deranged. When they wore “cool” outfits and listened to “cool” music. And now maybe you will be allowed to listen to the music you want to listen to ;) Just ask they are not that evil sly monsters you think they are (or at least most of them have a tiny bit of goodness far down into the abyss of their heart). They might even remember how it was like to be a kid back in the stone ages. Just a bird that have lost its wings (Broken down angel by Nazareth) Red strings of the cotton maze of life.

...behind a horse-drawn plow had narrowed him. Time and endless battles in the fields against insects, heat, drought, and flood, and lately, unremitting sorrow, had carved sharp angles into his face. His eyes bore the hollowness of a man too long in the field of battle. Like Lyon, he was educated and articulate. Unlike Lyon, Isham clung to his native Vermont broad “a” and “e” sounds, making the word calf sound more like “caalf” and rendering there as “thair” He dropped the “r,” causing farmer to sound more like “farm-uh,” and added “r” to idea, making it “idee-er.” When Isham laughed, his voice was pleasantly musical, a curious ancestral relic of generations that oversaw the plowing of English fields in a time when Ishams served Edwardian kings, sometimes in baronial roles. During moments of stress, however, the melodic lilt gave way to a sound similar to a rasp drawn across violin strings. In the year just past, since the death of their daughter, ten-year-old, Laura, who had succumbed quickly to a sudden fever, it was the rasp that made the music in their household. Caroline narrowed her eyes. She bent her head forward, rooting him to the spot with a hot glare. “He is a United States senator , Giles, the first one this state ever had! He is the man who surveyed Michigan, made it what it is. He fought to get us the statehood you thought was so all-fired important, and he is one of the biggest farmers in these parts, probably the whole state for all we know.” She paused to draw...

... THE COMPARISON OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND SOLAR CELLS 2 Abstract This paper will compare and contrast photosynthesis and the semiconductor based solar cell. This will be accomplished by detailing three similarities, and three differences between the two. The first of the similarities being the absorption of solar energy, the second being the transformation of solar energy into a different more useable form of energy, and finally the third being that they both use organic colorants to attract the sun’s rays. The three differences being that one produces chemical energy and the other electrical energy. The second difference is that one occurs naturally and the other is manmade, and the third difference is that one is cost effective and the other are expensive to produce. This paper will also describe how the laws of thermodynamics apply to each of the systems, giving the reader even further insight on the topic at hand. THE COMPARISON OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND SOLAR CELLS 3 The Comparison of Photosynthesis and Solar Cells Photosynthesis is the process in green plants and other organisms by which carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water using light as an energy source. Semi-conductor based solar cells, also known as photovoltaic cells, are a man made device that converts the energy of the sun into electric energy. Both of these systems absorb, and transform...

...unlawful claimants the proceeds of the cotton tax unlawfully collected in 1908. Aiken's famous Speech Bass 3 Congressman Aiken strongly disapproved of tariff taxes believing that they were unjust. The discrimination against certain tariffed items eventually caused disagreement leading Aiken to speak on it. It is stated in a Congressional records book at the top before he began his speech that, "Tariff Taxation is the Mother of Trusts, the Robber of Consumers, and the Deceiver of the Laboring Man." Congress, United States. "Congressional Record." Google Books. Accessed July 4, 2016. https://books.google.com/books?id=NkwuAAAAIAAJ. Aiken's purpose of this speech was to raise awareness on the discrimination certain tariffs were showing. He later pointed out that there was some excuse when it came to high tariffs on sugar, beef, and cotton because they benefited several producers; but also displayed the discrimination towards products such as oil stating, There is some excuse for a tariff on sugar, when thousands of producers are benefited. There is some excuse for a high tariff on beef when the thousands of cattle raisers are benefitted. There is some excuse for high tariff on cotton products, when the hundreds of thousands of producers of raw material are indirectly benefited. But for the Standard Oil trust and steel trust, who themselves take the crude product from mother earth and from their own claims, thereby benefiting none but a few operatives, there can now be no just claim...

...Mrs. Goodwin Research Paper/ Essay #3 03/30/2012 Obesity in the U.S.A. Thirty years ago, most of the people in United States lived healthy and almost everyone managed to keep their ideal weight. Children got their selves to school on foot, played and ran around during break time, participated in gym classes, and did after school activities like playing sports or joining clubs. Their parents cooked homemade meals for them with substantial portions of fruits and vegetables. These meals did not contain artificially hydrogenated oils, or any other of the processed chemicals you find in the food today. They rarely ate fast food or snacked between meals. Today, kids have a very dissimilar lifestyle experience. Their parents drop them off at school by car. Gym classes, after school sports, and clubs have been significantly cut. After school, they are playing video games, surfing the Internet, and watching television. Parents do not have time to cook, so they often buy fast food. Kids are snacking around three times a day, which could add hundreds, even thousands of calories to their diet. The portions of the meals are two to five times bigger as compared to thirty years ago. As far as beverages go, they are now becoming more and more sweetened. According to Michelle Obama’s website http:// www.letsmove.gov/, studies show that, “we are eating 31 percent more calories than compared to thirty years ago; including 56 percent more fats and oils, and 14 percent more sugars and sweeteners”...

...A Call for Further Research: Afro-Chinese Marriages in 20th Century Cuba Katie Wang UCLA Professor Wright-Dixon I. Introduction Coalitions through marriage is a long understood concept. Kingdom alliances through marriages are ones that first come to mind. Often fictional portrayals of real pressures for pressures to gain resources or military alliance for a capital or imperial need involve young princes and princesses who are forced to marry. However, in a nonfictional example for this paper, Chinese indentured laborers or former indentured laborers and African slaves or former slaves married in 19th century Cuba both romantically and strategically. I argue that there needs to be further research around Afro-Chinese marriages in Cuba and a recentering on women. I had originally planned to center this paper around African slave women who married Chinese men in Cuba in the 19th century but was not able to because of the lack of literature available. However, I aim to focus on a reading against the grain for indications of women’s agency and voice in this set of literature. My personal stakes in this topic are two-fold. First, my mother’s side of my family lived in Cuba for a few decades from the late 1920s to 1960 as a part of an entrepreneurial endeavor and as refuge from persecution from the Communist Party of China. Because of my personal tie to Chinese in Cuba, I seek to uncover untold stories and hidden transcripts. Second, this paper is a part of a larger project...

The Hawaii is ranks 47th in size among the 50 states (Hawaii – location, size, and extent). Long time ago people from Hawaii think that Pele and Ailaau made the islands. When Pele got to the high mountain she used her magic stick to make the crater. Then this guy Ailaau wanted to live on the state too. One day they both wanted to be the ruler of that state. They started fighting and throwing fireballs at each other and that’s how they made the islands (The Birth Hawaii). In the early religion of Hawaii the indigenous culture spread amount the islands. Hawaiian scholar Mary Kawena Pukui, who was raised in Ka’u, Hawaii maintained that the early Hawaiian gods were benign. Author and researcher Pali Jae Lee writes “During these ancient times, the only religion was one of family oneness with all things. The people were in tune with nature, plants, trees, animals, the ‘aina, and each other. They respected all things and took care of all things, all was pano.” They also think that it’s a wonderful thing to have a spirits of the dead and the angels. They had four primary gods each god had their own animal, foods, offerings and prayer (Hawaii religion and Living...

...I’m not loving it. Nowadays fast-food restaurants are famous for their delicious burgers and fries, attracting many people to eat them almost every day, not knowing how it affects their lives. All they think about is the price, amount of time until serving, and the quantity of the food. Research shows that in the US alone obesity related illnesses claim over 850 lives a day and over 300,000 lives each year. With the increasing availability of fast food and high competition among the various fast food joints, fast food obesity has become a major problem for many countries to deal with. Fast foods are also said to contain high amounts of sugar, oil, flour and sodium or salt, which are all significant contributors to the condition of obesity. According to the Google map, there are close to 50,000 fast food chains across the United States, with McDonalds being the largest restaurant chain. In the world, there are more than 500,000 fast food places. Kids between the ages of 6 and 14 eat fast food 157,000,000 times every month, causing them to be obese. Fast-food restaurants play a huge role in the obesity in the USA. There is a movie called supersize me, it’s an American documentary about a man named Spurlock. Spurlocks film follows a 30-day period form February 1st to march 2, 2003. And during those months he only eats McDonalds’s food. The film documents Spurlock’s physical and psychological weel-being, and at the end of the film he puts different foods from McDonald's in glass...

Global outreach for company expansion has taken the new economic conditions by storm for the consumer and American corporations. Company core values are built on the foundation of ones ideas and broadcast through marketing of the mission statements. Aligning a mission statement to create sales and a good public image can be even harder. The Lowe's vision is: We will provide customer-valued solutions with the best prices, products and services to make Lowe's the first choice for home improvement. This statement for retail sales establishes the basic thought of retail sales. The focus of this paper will be to discuss the legal, cultural, and ethical environment and how it relates to the Canadian and Mexican expansion of the corporate giant Lowe’s. I was taught the difference between right and wrong and found that growing up in a large family meant nothing is fair. My children are not allowed to use the term “not fair”. They must determine if the situation is right or wrong based on their own values. As the foundation of my personal beliefs...
