Do not delete any of the three paragraphs until we have discussed them. Part 1 – Draft Body Paragraph Delete the paragraph below. Paste a copy of your largest draft body paragraph in this space. One characteristic that a private investigator has is he/she must be emotionally detached from the case. Individuals often find their self not being able to go forward in a situation due to the emotional rollercoaster that they have been on with the person/s involved, thus creating relation hips where relationships should not be made. Choosing to become a private investigator can be a very trialing field if you are one to allow your feelings to overrule judgment at times, this occupation requires you to deal with emotional people who often look for sympathy on their behalf. Lew Archer astonishes his readers with thoughts such as, “She had a key in one hand and a handful of blood in the other…but I hated her for spoiling my morning sleep,” he is so unattached from the case that it allows him to think more clearly and stay focused on the evidence and the timeline of events rather than feel sorry for the girl and believe everything that is said to him (77). Lew Archer takes treats everyone with the same suspicion until they are proven innocent. This allows him to look at the case from every angle and use...

...suffers say that they do not feel hungry, though recovered sufferers do admit that they were very hungry, but did not allow themselves to eat. When a person suffers with this condition they become fixated on their body weight and dieting. They live in fear of normal body weight so are continually pushing themselves towards becoming thinner. Sufferers of this condition can be fanatical with food but they will refuse themselves healthy meals and follow strict diets to make sure they lose as much weight as possible. Anorexia sufferers do not think that there is anything wrong with the amount of weight they have lost even when others see them as being extremely thin. People who have anorexia often have very low self confidence and feel the more weight they lose the better they look so the better they feel about themselves. Sufferers often exercise to the extreme and may force themselves to vomit or use laxatives. Women who suffer with anorexia often find that their menstrual cycle stops. This illness is better to be dealt with as soon as possible as the more the illness progresses the more difficult it can be to deal with. In serious cases a spell in hospital may be needed as anorexia suffers can take their dieting so far that it can result in death. Treatment of anorexia involves three main phases: * To regain the weight the sufferer has lost through their dieting * To treat their psychological problems such as interpersonal conflicts, distorted body image and low self esteem ...

...Herpes and Toilet Seat: Read before Flush Outside the human body, HSV, the virus causing lives for very few minutes if not seconds. While it a highly contagious virus that should be careful when handling body fluids and membrane, you are unlikely to get it from a toilet seat. The contagious nature of the disease is not questionable. The fact that it is transmitted through physical contact is a more reason to worry you. HSV-1 and HSV-2 attack nerve cells, and multiply by copying themselves before moving to the body surfaces. This is usually during the first outbreak when the virus is strong but is still remains invisible apart from the cold sores and blisters. Many people around the world are infected by the virus but do not know it. This is...

...questions based on the best available science. What are HIV and AIDS? Electron microscope image of HIV, seen as small spheres on the surface of white blood cells. HIV is the human immunodeficiency virus. It is the virus that can lead to acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS. CDC estimates that about 56,000 people in the United States contracted HIV in 2006. There are two types of HIV, HIV-1 and HIV-2. In the United States, unless otherwise noted, the term “HIV” primarily refers to HIV-1. Both types of HIV damage a person’s body by destroying specific blood cells, called CD4+ T cells, which are crucial to helping the body fight diseases. Within a few weeks of being infected with HIV, some people develop flu-like symptoms that last for a week or two, but others have no symptoms at all. People living with HIV may appear and feel healthy for several years. However, even if they feel healthy, HIV is still affecting their bodies. All people with HIV should be seen on a regular basis by a health care provider experienced with treating HIV infection. Many people with HIV, including those who feel healthy, can benefit greatly from current medications used to treat HIV infection. These medications can limit or slow down the destruction of the immune system, improve the health of people living with HIV, and may reduce their ability to transmit HIV. Untreated early HIV infection is also associated with many diseases including cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, liver...

...Cancer Definition of Disease Osteosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm of bone composed of a malignant connective tissue stroma with evidence of malignant osteoid, bone, or cartilage formation. Epidemiology of Disease Osteosarcoma is an early cancerous growth that usually occurs to adolescences even though it may appear on the elderly in some cases. Basic bone malignancy seems to be the most common form of cancer that strikes the long bones. However, this may differ with the difference in age (Savage, & Mirabello, 2011). It is not easy to detect osteosarcoma until puberty, even though it may appear at childhood. The osteosarcoma risk is high at the youth period and declines as at the age of 25. There is a smaller peak at and after the age of 80. Reports over time indicate increased osteosarcoma cases in the United States and Europe. The reports also show that there is a reduction of the condition in the elderly. According to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program, the prevalence of osteosarcoma vary by both age and race. For instance, in Asia the risk is high in children and adolescents. This is not the case with the Blacks as the risk is high between the ages of 25 and 59. The incidence is high at the age of 60 for Whites, and the childhood stage for Italians. The prevalence is higher in tall persons than the short ones (Savage, & Mirabello, 2011). In terms of gender, osteosarcoma affects males more often than females. However, girls less than...

...experienced, an experience that you have already experienced. Anu means something that follows or follows upon and bhuta means the element. So anubhuta means that which follows the matter field when consciousness or your personal awareness interacts with the matter field and is the tangible experience. Experience is a result of consciousness interacting with the matter fields, and that is anubhuta. Vishaya is an object of the experience that you have, so in general, they are the five matter fields, but they can also be another pattern of intelligence. One samskara can even have another samskara as its object of experience. Like the drink that I am consuming is a pattern of intelligence, and the personality that’s trying to enjoy it is also a pattern of intelligence. So when you interact with an object, an experience is created out of it. If you dissect everything and look into it, you will find just five matter fields interacting with five matter fields but in reality there are just two different patterns of intelligence interacting with each other, not necessarily just five matter fields. . Asampramoshah means kept inside, not letting go or allowing to escape. That is called smritih, memory. So it says anubhuta which is of experienced, vishaya which is objects of experience, asampramoshah is not letting go or allowing to stay and that is memory. Memory is not allowing an object which has been experienced to escape. So you are not allowing the objects of...

...Case Studies/ Briefing Paper Pages 1 , to 3 are adapted from: Cameron S, (2002), Business Student’s Handbook, Prentice Hall, Essex We are going to look at how to use a case study to solve a problem. However this format can also be used to create a briefing paper for a potential client. Why are they important ? Case studies bridge the gap between learning and work situations in which you will be applying that learning. Pioneered by Havard Law School and then used on their MBA course in 1869, they have been seen as a valuable teaching tool. What is a case study? It usually consists of a written description of a situation faced by or within an organisation. A case study may be a brief outline of a scenario or 100 or more pages of closely written description and including company accounts, sales figures and other relevant information. Some studies are fictional and some based on real-life situations. Cases can: • Broaden your awareness of organisational situations • Give you something on which to practice concepts you have learned • Provide a useful basis for assessment • Develop group-working skills • Highlight assumptions about organisations and how people should or should not behave Warning! Remember a case study is the author’s impression of reality and is subject to bias. Therefore be prepared to look beyond the case study. Problems that may arise • Deciding what is needed – what are you meant to be doing • Working...

...Abortion. It’s the word many people hate to discuss because of the controversial viewpoints on the subject. There is the pro-life movement, where people believe that abortion is murder and is many times related to religion. Then there is the pro-choice movement, where people think that women should have the rights to their own bodies and are the only people who can make such decisions. Both sides of the spectrum argue back and forth about the topic, but nobody can come to a clear consensus on things. I personally stand on the pro-choice end of things. There are many reasons why I believe what I do, such as rape and incest cases, financial situations, and medical emergencies. Abortion is a touchy subject no matter where you stand on the issue, so we...

...Essay Although there are some basic steps to writing an assignment, essay writing is not a linear process. You might work through the different stages a number of times in the course of writing an essay. For example, you may go back to the reading and notetaking stage if you find another useful text, or perhaps to reread to locate specific information. Start work early You can’t write a successful essay unless you give yourself enough time to read, research, think and write. Don’t procrastinate or leave it until the last minute; start as early as possible. Define the question and analyse the task Writing down everything you know about a topic is not enough to make a good academic essay. Analysing, then answering the essay’s question or task is central. • Be sure that you understand exactly what the question requires you to do. • Identify the key words (like discuss or analyse) and clarify the approach you are required to take. See The Learning Centre guide ‘Answering Assignment Questions’ 2. Researching Your Topic One of the first steps in essay writing is researching. You must research your essay by reading and finding relevant information. Reading on the topic enables you to develop a thesis and answer the essay question. Where to Start? Your starting point for your essay is your initial response to the essay topic or question. Your response is based on what you already know. But this is...

...NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION CUES USED BY LECTURERS DURING LECTURES A CASE STUDY OF DR MFON ITEK and MR MIKE IGIRI WRITTEN BY EKPO, YVONNE UWEM 10/AR/CA/661 AKPAN, EDIDIONG ANIEDI 10/AR/CA/640 SUBMITTED TO DR ITA EKANEM LECTURER-IN-CHARGE COM317: CASE STUDIES IN COMMUNICATION ARTS DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION ARTS FACULTY OF ARTS MARCH, 2013 INTRODUCTION Nonverbal communication is behavior, other than spoken or written communication, that creates or represents meaning. In other words, it includes facial expressions, body movements, and gestures. Nonverbal communication is talking without speaking a word. It is very effective, maybe even more so than speech. Remember the saying, “Actions speak louder than words” or “a deafening silence” You may be surprised to know that not only humans respond to this kind of communication. If you have a pet, especially a dog, it may follow directions and respond to hand and body movements more than your words. Dogs will even get confused if you say “sit” but give the hand motion that you usually use for “stay”. There are two main types of nonverbal communication, the body language and the gesture. Body language: Body language is body movements that depend on a person’s attitude or feelings. Body language includes the way people walk, how they stand, and their facial features. In other words, any kind of meaning that is shown by a person's body attitude or movements. For example, when a student sees a bad score...

...Take a look at the “Meet with whistleblowers” link on the main page. There you will find a number of people who have “blown the whistle” on the organization they work for. Through additional research you will find that there have been a number of people who blew the whistle and rightfully so, and perhaps you’ll find others that are questionable. In a 6-8 page paper, research at least two people who blew the whistle and present your findings. Your findings will show one person who did it and came out with a win for him/herself as well as for the good of society. Your other one will show someone who perhaps should have done nothing, or at least show that so far (because there case is not done) they have only hurt themselves and/or their family. Remember this is research, not your opinion. Personal opinions do not count in research papers, just facts. Some things to consider: 1. What is the obligation of an employee to his company versus society? 2. What might be the consequences of whistleblowing? 3. How might you avoid the mistake of an inappropriate allegation? 4. Are there any laws to protect whistleblowers? 5. Who do you go to, to blow the whistle? 6. Depending on the severity of what you’re going to whistle on, do you think your life and/or your families could be in danger? Can you find a documented case on this? 7. There’s a perception in Washington that much more leaking is going on now than during previous administrations. Is leaking a form a whistleblowing...
