...* Central Problem The Marion Camp Memorial Hospital is currently suffering from quality deterioration due to management’s lack of quality control The group recognizes that the ultimate cause of the deteriorating quality of the hospital’s services is due to the management’s incompetence and because of this, various problems have arisen.

...Rachel Banes Dr. Mary Sanders HIST 1103-503 10 October 2014 The Patriot Movie Review The Patriot was an American Revolution epic that was portrayed from the perspective of an implacable family. While the movie provided entertainment, there were many historical events that were illustrated in this film such as, the depiction of militias, the implications of battles, and insight to life during war. Due to the bias nature of the film and a few historical inaccuracies, the nationalism in this movie becomes overwhelming. This film was set in the 1770’s in early South Carolina. Benjamin Martian, an ex French and Indian war icon, is the father of seven children who rejected a proposal to go to battle and be apart of the Continental Army. While trying to avoid any involvement in the battle, the war comes close to home and the leading antagonist Colonel Tavington killed Thomas, his 15-year-old son. Martin began seeking revenge by creating a militia that consisted of peasants and farmers. The militia had an objective to keep General Cornwallis in South Carolina. Their efforts were successful through their strategic planning by killing off his men and cutting him off from supplies. Although they succeeded in the surrender of Cornwallis, Gabriel, Martins son, also became a victim of Tavington and was killed. Gabriel’s death evoked one last fight between Martin and Tavington. Martin had the victory over him, which lead to Tavington’s death and helped drive the Continental Army to...

...Children do not know how to play Annotation by Jane Prince, associate professor in psychology at the University of Glamorgan, Wales. The economical problems for the toy vendors are the consequence of a disturbing childhood development. There is less need for toys, because most of the children do not know how to play anymore. Instead of the traditional toy world, that has earlier been filled with toy soldiers, ball games, cars and dolls, children now surround themselves with electronic games and impression in pictures and sound from television. Children, even toddlers, have lost the ability to invent a play world for themselves. Several factors have grown to within the last 20 years. Firstly, there is the way children now get affected in the kindergarten or preschool classes: they get evaluated all the time, even on the playground. Secondly, there has also come more pressure from the parents. They are starting to buy educational toys. They forget, that kids can learn through play with toys, which apparently are without any educational purpose. Many parents think, that kids have to be capable users of computers from an early moment in their lives. They have to navigate between the icons on the screen and develop coordination between eye and hand. But ball games have always done the last thing, and while there are advantages with coming to grips with computers, there are many advantages for kids by playing with toys. Furthermore, television decides what toys kids...

... During the Gilded Age period, the United States experienced countless advancements in manufacturing and industrialization by the building of factories and railroad expansions. While America’s economy and manufacturing skyrocketed, agriculture and the farmers who practiced agriculture were slowly being left behind. What once employed more than half of the United State’s population at 59.3% diminished to only 33.3% in a span of fifty years. By the end of 1899, manufacturing occupied half of the population, in addition to the growing numbers of the population involved in mining and construction. (Document 7) Due to the decrease of profits and increase in taxes held against them, farmers gained an increasing amount of discontent and resent towards the government and politics during the 1870-1900 time period. As time progressed, farmer’s discontent with politics and the government dramatically heightened as new obstacles faced the group daily. Farmers were seemingly always being left behind, they were highly susceptible to high-interest rates and taxes, their interest went up from 8% to 40%. In their first couple of years, many farmers would find themselves unable to pay off their taxes and going into debt. Their farms and land, "mules, cows, wagons, plows and often all household furniture" would be put under lien and the farmers would have to become tenant farmers. (Document 2) Deflation in the economy, as well as high taxes, heavily affected the agriculture business; less money...

...Marion Sevillo was running through the streets of El Paso, Texas, shooting people left and right as the police tried to catch up to him. He was too fast however and the police were desperately shooting at his legs to slow him down. Suddenly he was tackled to the ground by a mountain of a man and slowly lost consciousness as the man pummelled Marion’s face into the ground. Marion woke up in a white room with nothing but a man in a black suit, who carried a gun. “You are Marion Sevillo, correct?” the man suddenly said. “Well I aint’ Elvis Presley,” Marion replied with a smirk. The man, quick as lightning, reached over and punched Marion’s already bruised face with a set of knuckle busters that he had not seen before. “I didn’t know that Marion was a guy’s name,” the man commented, producing a gruesome scowl from Marion. “Do you know where you are?”...

...Per a student to the reporter, Jalisa was cutting herself. The reporter looked at the ‘cuts’ and it looked to be as if she had been scratching. The reporter referred Jalisa to the school base service of Marion Counseling. Jalisa later stated she was ‘doing it’ with a needle because she was like a prisoner in the home. A teacher received information from a student who Jalisa shared information with, and the teacher reported it to the reporter. It was stated that Jalisa was cutting herself because her step-father (Everett) was touching herself inappropriately. Jalisa denied the information when the reporter spoke with her. She stated that her mother was the warden, and she and the siblings were the prisoners. Danielle has learned to accept the...

...professional football becoming one of the first African Americans to play the professional sport. In the final year of the AAFC, 1949, Motley finished his four-stint with 3,024 yards, a 6.2 yards-per-attempt average, and 26 touchdowns, playing a key role in the Browns' winning of four AAFC crowns. The next year, the team was absorbed into the new National Football League. Here, with the use of outstanding defense and the newly developed draw and trap series, Motley ended his career with an average of 5.7 yards per carry- a still standing record for fullbacks. The discrimination he faced was overridden with an even stronger will to play. Had he given up, there would be no barrier to be broken, no records to be set, and no people to inspire. Marion Motley became a role model and mentor, especially for young black athletes. Though he died of cancer in 1999, his legacy thrives with his induction into the Pro-Football Hall of...

...THE BLAST IN CENTRALIA NO. 5 (Assignment #1) By Kareen Tompkins; July 2013 Class: PAD 500 (STRAYER UNIVERSITY) (MODERN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION) Dr. Shelley Taylor In 1947, One hundred eleven men were killed in an explosion that took place at the Centralia No. 5 mines located in the state of Illinois. The explosion was caused by highly explosive coal dust that was ignited by an explosive charge. During that time, Driscoll Scanlan was one of l6 Illinois state mine inspectors, appointed by Governor Green. He was given the responsibility of policing the mines as well as the operators. Additionally, it was his duty to make sure that the company was in compliance with state mining laws and followed all safety regulations. Mr. Scanlan had a reputation of being stubborn, righteous; was considered to have fierce integrity and took his job very seriously. He considered the Centralia No. 5 Mine to be the worst in his district.

...Will Marion Cook is a name to reckon with in the history of black American music. “His great genius will always be a guiding star to those of us who remain,” black violinist Clarence Cameron White wrote on hearing of Cook’s death. Trumpeter Arthur Briggs called Cook “the greatest real musician ever.” Duke Ellington and Eubie Blake praised him as a mentor. Yet while Ellington’s and Blake’s careers are well documented, only academics can describe Cook’s. Even diehard fans of the American popular songbook are hard-pressed to name one of his songs. The first recording devoted to his work appeared only a few years ago, and Marva Griffin Carter’s 2008 biography, Swing Along, is the first since his death in 1944. In the end, the fact of Cook’s importance is better known than its reason. A significant composer, but of what? Didn’t he write something like the first black Broadway musical? Yes, but what else? The tale most often told about Cook has him returning from conservatory training at the Berlin Hochschule für Musik in 1889 and performing a concert at Carnegie Hall. When a reviewer praised him as “the world’s greatest Negro violinist,” Cook stormed into his office, smashed his violin to bits on the man’s desk, and yelled, “I am not the world’s greatest Negro violinist. I am the greatest violinist in the world!” He never played the violin again. Cook’s words might suggest that racism explains his obscurity. Yet a few years later, Cook gave the world a song with these lyrics: Such...
