Leaning against a fashionable chair in one of the greatest hotels in the states was Mary Johnson. She had a reason to have a sense pride as a resident of a place boasting of centuries’ old architecture and an invigorating culture made up of blends of African, Spanish, French as well as several Native American aspects (Larson 27). Bourbon Street lights her mind at the coastal joint in the south east city of New Orleans, the state of Louisiana, as she waits for her husband Harry Kewell who had been out on an official appointment. Time tickles beyond their planned time and she decides ...

Many individuals pursuing the nursing career have it in their aspirations to be actively involved in the restoration of health to individuals who need it. It is, therefore, the dream of every nursing professional to restore smiles on the faces of people who had lost it to pain and suffering. This is quite interesting bearing in mind that patients spend most of their time with the nurses. It is the nurses who give the prescribed medicine, they do the cleaning, and they prepare the patients for other medical procedures, and so on. In other words, a patient’s recovery happens ...

Speech

Technological gadgets, like cell phones, are considered contemporary men’s best friends or worst foes. There have been alarming reports and statistics that revealed that the use of cell phones while driving have significantly contributed to an increasing trend of road accidents. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has disclosed that “each day in the United States, more than 9 people are killed and more than 1,060 people are injured in crashes that are reported to involve a distracted driver” (Distracted Driving , 2013, par. 1). The alarming fact is that despite repeated warnings by regulatory agencies, drivers continue ...

A Brief Discussion on the Belief in the End of the World

It may seem like a recent trend; people preparing or looking forward to the end of the world, with books like Max Brooks’ World War Z and The Zombie Survival and the mystery of the Mayan calendar.

Films like The Divide, Book of Eli, Mad Max, Waterworld, the list goes on and then to top it off games like Dead Island, Metro 2033 and Fallout 3 which is about a world limping on ...

Introduction

The world is mostly faced by catastrophes of which some are natural while others are caused by man or some other things. Whatever the case, the results of any catastrophe are not pleasant at all.

The incident is actually one of most recorded and evidenced over the years. The occurrence of a house fire has however been attributed to causality as Gasking puts it; it basically means that some event must have occurred before ...

Risk communication and emergency alerting have a long history in the United States. Even in colonial America, different individuals conducted emergency alerting services by riding through different villages while warning people of British soldiers.

Since then the government has worked to ensure the development of a comprehensive emergency alert and response system in every part of the United States. Different states have developed strategies and frameworks to help in alerting and response in case of man-made or natural disasters. Kern County California has an ...

Abstract

Emergency Planning as a Profession
In this paper, I will bring forward arguments that emergency planning and emergency management are progressively being recognized as a profession in most parts of the world.
Emergencies are usually linked to natural disasters or events caused by humans. In these cases, a need arises to mobilize the population for humanitarian action or self-defense against natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, fires, or human conflict, such as military attack or terrorist threat. The importance of emergency planning is also reflected in the International Humanitarian Law, for instance, in the Geneva Conventions on Protecting the Vulnerable ...

The topic I have chosen for this assignment is “Home health care patients and safety hazard at home”, from the risk assessment topic. This teaching exemplar can be used to educated home healthcare nurse’s organization. Sollecito & Johnson (2013), identified clinical microsystem as the place where most of the errors and mistakes that affect health care quality and safety arise. The clinical microsystem is formed by healthcare personals who work directly with the patient and their families (Sollecito & Johnson 2013).
Background: Home health care is a fast growing industry. All of the healthcare that is provided at home comes ...

The critical infrastructure protection was launched with the concept of acting on time to critical incidents. It involves the critical infrastructure of a region, a country or a nation. The program was launched after the presidential directive of May 1998 (Department of Homeland Security, 2015). The presidential directive further developed a nationwide policy that was aimed at ensuring the nation’s critical infrastructure safety, prosperity, security and resilience under the name National Infrastructure Protection Plan. The protection plan is supposed to be orchestrated and implemented by the municipality, but due to the current constraints and economic factors, the responsibility ...

Best friend: (After hitting down and killing an old woman due to careless driving). You must promise not tell anyone about this incident.
Kant: A hit and run dilemma must involve an unlawful driving practice where the person liable for perpetrating or partaking in the accident declines to stop and assume accountability as required by the law. As opposed to adhering to the recommended procedure after such a misfortune or acting as recourse for any affected victim.
Hume: In your scenario, a hit and run incident arises since your colleague was accountable for the accident but decided to abscond ...

Discuss the advantages of a database management approach to the file processing approach? Give examples to illustrate your answer.
A database is organized interconnected data which can be queried with a complex question and provide an answer. A school database can have data on semesters, program, subjects, students, gender, country, grades, etc. A query from an airline can be: In the last 5 semesters, who were the female French students in the Tourism degree program who averaged 80% in their subjects? There would be a list produced by the database system.

The Slow Poisoning of India is a short documentary that reflects upon the environmental hazards posed by the continuous release of chemical substances to the environment. This has been as a result of use of modern pesticides by farmers. With India being one of the largest users of pesticides in Asia, it is quite clear then that the magnitude of chemical release into the environment has been high. This combined with the slowly fading influence of the Green Movement in Punjab has not made the issue any lighter. Increase in levels of pollution and neglect by authorities and concerned groups have ...

Introduction

In the late 1920s, the U.S. economy was strong. Many companies were growing and earning money. People bought shares of the companies, called stock. The stocks were traded and bought in the Stock Market.
On October 24, 1929, stock values dropped or became worthless rapidly. This started the most severe economic depression in U.S. history—the Great Depression. Today, that day is still remembered as Black Thursday.

In the late 1920s, prices in the stock market soared up, becoming very valuable. For example, in 1928, the price of a common share of the Dupont stock went from $310 to $ ...

In many organizations, certain individuals are able to exercise power and authority depending on their position and role they exercise. This puts them in control of making decisions, influencing people and also getting work done willingly from their colleagues. Such rights allotted to an individual stem from the concept of exercising power which is legitimate and in certain situations accepted by all. Legitimate power is one of the many types of power which an individual demonstrates when they perform the role of a leader.
Power can be used both positively and negatively. According to research done by John R.P ...

It has come to management's notice that one of the company airplanes, Boeing 737 has crashed near Islamabad, killing all the 127 people on board. Preliminary investigations reveal that poor weather conditions are to blame for the tragic crash. The passenger plane was headed to Benazir Bhutto International Airport from Karachi when violent thunderstorms occurred. This forced the pilot to move a little bit closer to the ground (about 2,000 feet) to avoid the cloud with thunderstorms. However, he lost control of the plane due to high speed as one of the plane engines burst into flames and crashed.

There’s a loud, ringing sound. It’s jarring, waking me from the otherwise cozy warmth that is my bed. I am forced to stick my hand, then my entire arm out from under the safety of my bedclothes in order to turn it off. To snooze or not to snooze? It will just go off in another seven minutes. I may as well get up now. The sooner I do, the sooner I get to see my best friend.
Groggy, bleary eyes, rubbing sleep from my face and half stumbling I wander into the kitchen, hearing the relations ...

Introduction

If any organisation were to succeed in achieving its objectives and targets, it is at the mercy of the strategies that it develops for itself. A lack of strategy will tell on the manner the organisation works. Hence, the team employed to this effect should be efficient and have the required knowledge for the same. Plans should match what the company envisions for itself in the light of its finances and operations. Such plans work in the long run. The more changes occur in them, the more difficult it is for them to move ahead. Realistic yardsticks can be ...

During my past few years as a nursing student and as a trainee nurse at this institute, I have come across different situations and experiences that have molded my thought process, my goals, and my whole personality. I have chosen the question: What do you feel you can contribute to the patient, for this assignment. Though I have chosen the nursing career with my own goals in mind, clinical experience has made me realize the extent to which patients are reliant on the nurse. I can confidently state that it would be impossible for hospitals to function without nurses. ...

Indian History

1970 was the year when my fate was on the brink of change but what I hoped for fizzled in the blink on an eye. My dream of expanding and building my Sports Company was turning into reality until a bunch of uneducated, over-possessive and exasperated villagers destroyed it because they did not understand the business and its economics. During that year, the Government of Uttarakhand decided to implement a commercial forest policy, which was a policy that could have changed my entire life. Though I do understand that the villagers rely on the forest as a means of ...

Human error is the weakest place in any computer-based system as computers can be perfect and people cannot. People make mistakes, and this can be the main reason of the system’s collapse. Human error takes places when someone breaks the rules or does not follow all procedures, and it results in an accident and a failure of the system to complete its functions.
We all may make human errors. Such errors can be found in any activity that we perform every day. For example, a person named Tom drives home every day from work at 6pm and every ...

“Careful dear,” my mother lovingly caressed my hair as I bumped into her while frantically running upstairs on my way to the roof top. I would be nine years old tomorrow and she still treats me as if I am a three. I didn’t in the least like her gestures of love. ”Why can’t she just keep her hands off me? Why on earth she has to make a show of it every damn time I am near her? Just the thought of her touching me makes me puke,” angrily I mused as I continued to run upstairs. I ...

A recent Clean Water Action (CWA) survey indicates that while marketers are re-evaluating the best matrix to advertise clean water. Social-media has formed the new canvas to explore and provide a real-time medium for the best advertisement. These tools of social networking, communication and collaboration are ideal to change the landscape and empower grassroots people to take active roles in developing and using clean water (Pediatrics Week 26).
Recognizing the ultimate power of social media, Clean Water Action needs to use the social media comprehensively in order to satisfy their needs. The company needs to use the YouTube, Twitter ...

The discriminatory practices of the male folk of the society are not new. Abuse and violence is a way of establishing the supremacy over the opposite sex. Even in the age of advancement where several feminist movements have dared to challenge the very roots of the patriarchal society, domestic abuse is one the greatest impediments for the female who are being constantly battered by the insensitivity and chauvinism of their male counterparts.
New York is a city where many women face the peril of domestic violence. Statistics show that in the year 2012, 68 percent of the total number of ...

The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a unique and memorable novel. The author introduces, and develops, the tender relationship between a father and son, against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic disaster. The violence and grizzly concepts make this novel not a good choice for the literarily sensitive, the love-story between the Man and the Boy is a gem not to be missed. As the title implies, McCarthy’s style is simple and consistent, providing a contrast to the complex subject matter of the novel.
The point of view selected by McCarthy for The Road is third person omniscient. However, there are some major differences ...

Transportation costs for waste disposal are the most expensive part of your annual waste disposal costs. Along with that comes the noisy clanking of garbage trucks dumping the contents of the garbage bins into their truck’s garbage container and the mess around garbage bins on the street that never seems to stay picked plus the wear and tear on the streets. There are already some intriguing solutions being used in South Korea (by 1.3 million people), in Barcelona and in Wembley, England.
