Her naked corpse was also found in a weird state with much contradiction for the cause of death. It was officially settled as suicide: she overdosed.

...famous piece from 1770 by American painter, Benjamin West. The oil on canvas, historical painting is called The Death of General Wolfe. The painting shows the battle between France and Britain and is called the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. This particular battle was waged as a fight over Quebec and it took place around 1758. West has captured the entire battle in this one painting. In the background to the right we see a group of ships on the St. Lawrence River, these were the ships that brought the British troops to battle when they stormed the French army. Also, in the background right in the center we can see the French general who is falling off his horse and is wounded. Finally to the left we can see a British soldier running towards the group of men in the foreground holding a white flag. He is coming to tell the men that the French have surrendered. The ranger in the green – who sees the soldier – is pointing back to the soldier and telling the others of the news. Finally we come to the center foreground where we see General Wolfe who is mortally wounded laying surrounded by his senior officers. Wolfe, the brave hero, is dying knowing that the British have won. This grouping of the General and the men around him was inspired by the Lamentation of Christ which was a very popular subject in Christian art. Also the five men closest to Wolfe and Wolfe himself have been placed in a triangle or a pyramidal composition with the flag pole being the top of the triangle...

...Rivera 1 Marcos G. Rivera Prof. Lauren Lund English 102 14 July 2013 Comparison and Contrast of “The Child by Tiger” and “The Most Dangerous Game” The short story “The Child by Tiger” by Thomas Wolfe is a about a religious, talented Negro named Dick Prosser who served in the army and is the servant of a middle class family in the south. This story takes a shocking turn when Dick goes on a killing spree throughout the town and a mob finally reaches him and kills him with no remorse. In Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game”, Sanger Rainsford falls off of a yacht that was heading towards the Amazon for a hunting trip. He swims to an island where he finds himself being the hunted by General Zaroff an aristocrat who had dominated the sport of hunting to the point that he became so bored, he purchased the island to specifically hunt men. None of these men survived his game. That is until Rainsford has no choice but to also participate in this game. At some point of each story, the animalistic act of man hunting man is witnessed. In “The Child by Tiger” Wolfe demonstrates that no matter how strong a person may be mentally, a human will sooner or later have a breaking point. The author in this story may also be trying to make the reader understand how society or environment a person is surrounded by may sometimes lead an individual to commit such horrendous acts of violence. Dick Prosser is seen as a gentle person who suddenly goes through a rampage...

...Nosocomial central line bloodstream infections are becoming one of the lead causes of death within hospitals (Smith, Egger, Franklin, Harbrecht & Richardson, 2011, p.1038). A blood stream infection is defined as having a positive blood culture while central venous access is in place without any further evidence of infection related to the patient’s comorbidities (Smith, et al., p. 1038). Organisms that are known to cause these infections include staphylococcus aureus and enterobacteriaceal (Curry, Honeycutt, Goins & Gilliam, 2009, p.151). It is concluded that one in ten patients experience an adverse event such as a central line bloodstream infection during their stay at the hospital (McPeake, Cantwell, Malcolm & Malcolm, 2012, p. 123). Furthermore, it has also been researched that over fifty percent of those cases could have been avoided if there were increased patient safety processes that were followed strictly and routinely evaluated for effectiveness (McPeake, et al., p. 123). Recent changes in government and insurance reimbursement suggests the elimination of payment for central line bloodstream infections especially when proven to be obtained during their hospital stay (Duane, Brown, Borchers, Wolfe, Malhotra, Aboutanos & Ivatury, 2009, p.1166). Hospital charges for central line infections increase the cost of stay nearly threefold (Duane, et al, p. 1166). The invasive nature of the catheters insertion predisposes patients to infection and it is healthcare...

...constitutional Irish nationalism from the period 1798 to 1867 Nationalism in Ireland is said to have stemmed from the actions of Wolfe Tone, who himself was heavily inspired by the Revolution in France a few years previous, in the 1790’s. Tone founded the Society of United Irishmen which set upon forming an Irish Republic, just as France had achieved, without sectarianism. “To subvert the tyranny of our execrable government, to break the connection with England, the never-failing source of all our political evils and to assert the independence of my country – these were my objects. To unite the whole people of Ireland, to abolish the memory of all past dissension and to substitute the common name of Irishman in place of the denominations of Protestant, Catholic and Dissenter – these were my means.” Wolfe Tone There was an armed uprising by the United Irishmen in 1798, sponsored by the French who at the time were an enemy of England. This uprising proved to be an utter failure as the French and Irish were severely outmanned and outgunned by English forces, thus prompting a swift end to Tones rebellion. Tone himself was captured in a raid at Donegal in 1798; he was taken to Dublin and court-marshalled. He was scheduled to be executed by hanging after his request to be shot instead like a soldier was declined, but he died in prison of neck wounds. His death is recorded as suicide however this detail remains inconclusive. By 1804 Catholic unrest had kick started once more after a...

...Women and P.T.S.D 1 Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Women Women and Their Risk for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder 8 Oct 2012 PSY 121 Dr. Hornstein Women and P.T.S.D 2 Abstract This paper will explain the causes, symptoms, and treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as it relates to women. A multitude of studies were done showing the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in men but recent studies show the severity of the psychiatric disorder on women. Researchers have found that non-combat veteran females had higher levels of PACAP (pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide) than patients without the psychiatric disorder and none in men.(2) Women and P.T.S.D. 3 Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (P.T.S.D.) is a serious condition that can develop after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic or terrifying event in which serious physical harm occurred or was threatened. P.T.S.D. is a real diagnosable disorder, (3) although many health insurance companies refuse to acknowledge it by paying for it. P.T.S.D. is a lasting consequence of traumatic ordeals that cause intense fear, helplessness, or horror. People with P.T.S.D. may suffer flashbacks to the traumatic event, become aggressive, or numb, or withdrawn, have nightmares, and become emotionally numb or even violent. Most people who experience a traumatic event will have reaction that may include shock, anger, nervousness, fear, and even guilt. These reactions...

... and interrupting your activities to acknowledge them in their need for attention, but most of all, a burden, and an agonizing chore. For others, having a pet elicits feelings of unbridled joy, endless love and affection, and above all else, never having to be alone. For those select individuals, it includes labeling them as a member of the family without whom your family feels incomplete. Such a distinction speaks of pure love, devotion, and a deep bond, but the questions must be asked: how beneficial is the relationship between animals and people? How similar are animals in comparison to other people? Should pet owners dress their pets similarly to how they dress? How would someone handle their pet's welfare in the event of their death? If these questions were put to pet owners, there would likely be a myriad of responses given, but all of them would probably agree on one thing: having an animal for a companion would enhance the quality of living for both the human owner and their loving quadruped companion. How Beneficial is The Relationship Between Animals and People? Ask anyone who owns a dog or a cat, and they would tell you many times over about the benefits of having their furry friend(s) around the house. Some would even go on to argue that most of the time, these creatures are almost human. Author Kathleen Kete asserts that children, like pets, demand attention, food and sometimes clothing; in return, it was promised that they remain faithful to the grave (Kete...

...Hospital, including neurosurgery, by Harvey Cushing; cardiac surgery by Alfred Blalock. pediatrics and child psychiatry, by Leo Kanner. The Johns Hopkins Hospital is widely regarded as one of the world's greatest hospitals. It was ranked by U.S. News & World Report as the best overall hospital in America for 21 consecutive years until supplanted by the massachusetts General Hospital in 2012. It remains the top ranked hospital outside of Boston. Johns Hopkins, a Baltimore merchant and banker, left an estate of $7 million when he died on Christmas Eve 1873 at the age of 78. In his will, he asked that his fortune be used to found two institutions that would bear his name: "Johns Hopkins University" and "The Johns Hopkins Hospital." At the time that it was made, Hopkins's gift was the largest philanthropic bequest in the history of the United States. Toward the end of his life, Hopkins selected 12 prominent Baltimoreans to be the trustees for the project and a year before his death, sent a letter telling them that he was giving "thirteen acres of land, situated in the city of Baltimore, and bounded by Wolfe, Monument, Broadway and Jefferson streets upon which I desire you to erect a hospital." He wished for a hospital "which shall, in construction and...

...He was raised in Virginia, as the second of nine children to General Walker Keith Armistead and Elizabeth Stanley (“Lewis Armistead”). The Armisteads were a military oriented family, and he was destined to be a military man himself. He enrolled in West Point in 1834, though he had a rather unfulfilling career, as he was dismissed two years later for breaking a plate over the head of Jubal A. Early, a fellow Cadet and future Confederate general (Jones). Three years later, Armistead was appointed lieutenant in the U.S. Army. He served valiantly in the Seminole Wars, was brevetted twice for gallantry during the Mexican War, and was wounded at Chapultepec. Despite his immense success, he resigned from the captain’s commission in May of 1861 to join the Confederacy, not daring to fight against his beloved home of Virginia. In the Civil War, Armistead fought at Seven Pines, Malvern Hill, and Antietam. At Seven Pines, he fought bravely, despite having his horse killed beneath him. Armistead...
