...The Yuma ferry massacre is a real life event recorded in numerous historical records, with much of the content from the historical record utilised in McCarthy’s reimagining of the Yuma assault. One of the primary sources for this event is William Carr’s 1850 deposition given in the District of Los Angeles. From this account, there are numerous anecdotes that appear in Blood Meridian. For example, in Carr’s account, this event is the moment in which John Joel Glanton lost his life at the hands of the Yuma. Differing from McCarthy’s depiction of this event, Carr describes both Glanton and Lincoln as having been murdered at the hands of a club wielding Yuma warrior. In contrast, McCarthy attributes Glanton’s death to an axe, and while he does...

...Business Research Applications Paper RES/320 Research is used in every profession. Whether it is used to take a consensus for interest in juice bar flavors, or to isolate the blood type required for a successful transfusion, it is how all necessary questions get the appropriate and most accurate answers. I work for an organization that provides medical care. Specifically, I work for an ophthalmic clinic and surgical center. Our physician specializes in ocular diseases and refractive correction. Ocular, meaning eyes, is our specialty. Research has been used in this business by almost every person, at all times. From the initial purchase of facilities, to the expansion of facilities, to the care, diagnosis, and treatment of the patients, research is a vital part of our sustainability. Research is a key factor aiding in the physicians ability to diagnose and treat patients. However, additional consideration may need to be taken into account when providing care.

My father, who would be the physician, had been practicing medicine for years. However, he was no more than a shareholder in the practices he was employed by. He had never started his own practice. However, he knew from experience what type of facility he wanted to work out of and what type of diagnostic equipment would be required. My mother, who would be the CEO, was using...
