...years ago,I and my friend were going to take a flight from Abuja in Nigeria to Warri,my town and for the first time my seat was just right at the emergency exit and I remenber as the hostess began to give instructions in case of any troubles what we needed to do,cold ran through my body with fear,just as she said,"in the case of a crash landing” someone else said “I reject it in Jesus name,we don’t need it” good prayer,but it was serious for me because I knew I had the responsibility with me to do something,in the case of any trobles,but thank God we landed safe. An emergency exit in a structure is a special exit for emergencies such as a fire: the combined use of regular and special exits allows for faster evacuation, while it also provides an alternative if the route to the regular exit is blocked by fire, etc.It is usually a strategically located (e.g. in a stairwell, hallway, or other likely place) outward opening door with a crash bar on it and with exit signs leading to it. Emergency exit is vital for safety in the event of a fire outbreak and for easy evacuation of people out of the building. This is not a show of fear but wisdom,there are people who believe that when you as a child of God put such things in your building you are only attracting what you are trying to avoid,I would like to help such people think in the right direction. We say in my country “Prevention is better than cure” it is wisdom to have an emergency exit in your house,its for your safety and...

...Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle: A Case Study Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle: A Case Study Effective teachers are aware that they must motivate students to quickly follow directions and to get on and stay on task to insure and increase time for learning (Canter, 2006). Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle is based on a three step process to effectively communicate directions, reinforce those directions with behavioral narration, and taking appropriate corrective action for those who still chose to not comply with direction. Utilizing Canter’s cycle will assist teachers in handling misbehavior. A Case Study Luke is a tenth grade student in Mrs. Flanagan’s American History class. He is very popular because of his talent on the basketball court and only comes to school to play sports. He keeps his grades just high enough to remain on the team and puts forth little effort in his work but enjoys being the center of attention on and off the court. In the past, teachers have allowed him to get by with poor effort and classroom disruptions, so he continually talks and calls out during lessons. When assignments are due, Luke either “forgets” the assignment or comes up with some kind of excuse, actually utilizing the classic “my dog ate it” which gets a laugh from his classmates. Other students find Luke’s behavior entertaining and get off task to join in. Mrs. Flanagan is becoming more and more frustrated with Luke’s behavior, not only his class disruptions, but...

...their field of work, or a group of new friends. For example, in the novel Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, Pip goes through many changes in hopes of appeasing the heart and standards of the gorgeous yet cold-hearted Estella, changes such as being eager to self-improve, becoming snobby, and being shameful of his origins. From very early in the novel you discover that Pip is ambitious to better himself. For example, after confronting Estella he wishes to become refined, “I took the opportunity of being alone/ to look at my coarse hands and my common clothes. My opinion of those accessories was not favorable. They had never troubled me before, but they troubled me now, as vulgar appendages. I determined to ask Joe why he had ever taught me to call/ jacks/ to be called knaves” (71). Here Pip is realizing that he himself, for example his clothing and knowledge, is not up to the standards of ‘high society’ and Estella, especially Estella. He is also realizing that if he wishes to have any chance of anchoring Estella’s heart he must get acquainted with finer clothing and become more knowledgeable. Then, Pip wants Biddy to teach to him every ounce of knowledge she has: “The felicitous idea occurred to me/ when I woke that the best step I could take towards making myself uncommon was to get out of Biddy everything she knew” (84). Basically, Pip knows that he must become uncommon for Estella and figures that Biddy is very intelligent and can help him reach his goal of being more...

One way to tell is to ask if your patient if they remember the incident itself or had any strange feeling before it happened. Most of the time the event is remembered and has little warning before it happens. Also cataplexy can be brought on by certain emotions, like laughter. So what causes narcolepsy? Nobody truly can point out the cause, but there are several possibilities. There hasn’t been any links proven with genetics although the case of multiple family members having narcolepsy is...

It is going to briefly summarise the of major theories used by health care professionals to provide care and determine practice related decisions. The discussion is going to focus mainly on the attachment theory, Bowlby, J (1969), Levinson, D (1986) theory of life structures and Erikson, E (1963)stages of life theory. According to Banks (2001), these theories are there to help health professionals describe or predict patterns and behaviour considered to be within the parameters of normality for human beings and assess the need for intervention.

...And the topic I will be covering today is that of Tribunes. What il be looking at in my presentation is a little historical background at how the Tribunes came about, what they stood up for and some of the features of the Tribunes, and what role the Tribunes played in Roman society, and also look at quick Case Study that looks at a prominent Tribune in Roman history. Il begin very briefly with a quick introduction into what Tribune means in the literal sense. So the word, tribune was a title shared by elected officials in Rome. They were called Tribunes because at one time the whole body of citizens were divided into 3 parts, and one Tribune was elected from each part of the 3 Tribes. When reading about Tribunes, to a large degree, it is a constant battle between Plebeian and Patricians. On the one hand you have the Plebeians constantly fighting for equality and a political voice to be heard, and on the other hand you have the patricians trying to hold their control in society and Roman politics. There were also various different Tribunes, which included the Plebeian Tribune and the Military Tribune. The Military Tribunes were officials from each of the 3 ranks of men, the hastate, principes and triarii. The military Tribunes were initially important because before the Plebeian Tribunes were created, plebeian civilians had no else to turn to protect them so naturally they would turn to the military Tribunes for assistance, and as you will find out...

...such can be not only detrimental to communities but also to societies and our economy.Something has to change, for some time now a large part of the United States population has bought into the whole concept of placing children who break the law in juvenile correctional facilities. As tax payers we must come to the realization that something needs to change if we want these troubled youth to have a bright future ahead of them and become law-abiding tax payers. As a country we are spending billions of dollars buying into this whole concept of incarcerating young people, while research shows it is ineffective on rehabilitating the lives of juvenile offenders. Richard A. Mendel reports that a number of studies actually show that the incarceration of juveniles, “actually increases recidivism among youth with lower-risk profiles and less-serious offending histories” (6). In order to put an end to this epidemic of just locking kids up and costing taxpayers billions of dollars we must use some alternative methods when dealing with juvenile offenders. If we want to build a stronger economy for the future we must invest less money into locking kids up and more money in building them back up. According to Mendel view on the incarceration of juveniles, “it wastes vast sums of taxpayers’ dollars. And more than not, it harms the...

...for a successful college experience, but without the one most important component, college success is not possible. The most important component in the equation for s successful college experience is personal responsibility. Personal responsibility is necessary for college success. An example of a car can be used to demonstrate college success. A car may have all of the necessary components to run; an engine, transmission, wheels, etc., but without fuel, the car will go nowhere. No matter how good all of the parts of the car seem to be, without fuel, the car will not move. In the case of college success, personal responsibility is the fuel. Just as a car goes nowhere without fuel, college success cannot happen without personal responsibility. A college student may have everything they need for college; the course schedule, the syllabus for the class, study materials, a laptop computer, even a positive attitude, good time management skills, and dedication, but without personal responsibility to tie those all together, the student will not be successful in college. Personal responsibility is vital to college success. Personal responsibility means taking an ownership in the college...

...The Case for Christ: A Journalist’s Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus A Critical Book Review Lee Strobel, New York Times bestselling author of twenty books, including four which received ECPA awards, is an atheist turned Christian after a two year investigation of Jesus. He became a Christian in 1981. Strobel worked at the Chicago Tribune for 14 years as an award winning legal editor. He has a Bachelor of Journalism which he received in 1974 from the University of Missouri. He also earned a Master of Studies in Law Degree in 1979 from Yale. Washington Post has referred to him as the evangelical communities most popular apologists. The Case for Christ captures your attention and holds it from page one. It has a very interesting and easy writing style in which Strobel writes in first person. He uses his investigative reporter background to shape the way this book is set up. He proves that Jesus really is the son of God, using a sequence of interviews with 13 well respected Evangelical apologists. The book begins by Strobel using five lines of evidence: eyewitness, documentary, corroborating, scientific and rebuttal. Craig Bloomberg, PhD; whose doctorate is in New Testament, is the first to be interviewed. Bloomberg alleges that Papias and Irenaeus confirmed that the four gospels were written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John making them eyewitness testimony. He goes on to dismiss the Gospel Q hypothesis saying it is “nothing more than a hypothesis.” (p. 26)...

The dendrite is what I would call the starting point. It starts at the dendrite and works its way down. Connected to the soma is the axon, and the axon is like a passing point. It sends the message it received down to the terminal buttons. The terminal button is the final passing point to get to the next neuron. Around the axon there is something called myelin, and the myelin is kind of like a protective coating. It is coating that is contained of fats and proteins. The way this process works...

...Classism and Criminal Justice Draft 2 Justice is a term that we hear every day and accept although many of us have skepticism as to what it truly means. In general, justice is the idea of righteousness and equality. In regards to society’s views on how “just” the criminal justice system is, we always incorporate the “ism’s”: Racism, sexism and classism, to demonstrate some of the pitfalls that the system has. Though it is obvious that all of these societal differences play a large role in the criminal justice process, I will focus on classism. Classism is the discrimination against a group or individual based on social and economic status. Classism is one of those “ism’s” that occurs more than we notice and sometimes, we may confuse it with things like racism or sexism. Classism, in my opinion, plays a larger role in the criminal justice system as opposed to the other forms of discriminatory practices. In particular, class largely comes into play during the sentencing process. Many authors argue that factors outside of class play a more important role, but I believe that there needs to be more attention paid to the role that class plays in targeting and the sentencing process in the criminal justice system. In order to understand the role that class plays in the sentencing process, we must, first, look at the role that it plays before the criminal reaches the day of sentencing. There are a plethora of publications that speak on profiling and actuarial methods which get people...
