...Mental toughness is also great to have since there will be an abundant of difficult situations you may be faced with. In the field of nursing, there will certainly be challenging aspects. Two of the most challenging I was able to learn are that of juggling tasks and patient recovery. There are numerous tasks that a nurse is required to complete so it can be difficult to balance and prioritize them accordingly. The job is very demanding; therefore, it’s also noted to be able to be a great multitasker. Patient recovery is also very difficult in that you have to maintain a positive but realistic attitude that not everyone will recover and it’s simply a part of life. On the other hand, the most rewarding aspects are patient relations and seeing the many that do recover. Being able to help someone in need regardless of their condition is said to be one of the most pleasing feelings. You are also able to learn a great deal from each patient and see individuals from all different walks of life. From this interview, I was able to gain a great deal of insight on the many mental skills that are utilized as a...

...On October 7, 2016, I had the opportunity to listen to an hour and a half public speech on-campus, therefore at a private college. It featured motivational advice and tips for athletes. The speaker was Joshua Medcalf, former Division I soccer player at Vanderbilt and Duke Universities; CEO and founder of “Train 2B Clutch,” a mental training program; and a mental conditioning coach for UNC soccer and UCLA basketball players. In the beginning, Medcalf announced the purpose of his speech: to inform the audience that we should not allow our identities to get wrapped up in what we do, but in whom we are. The audience on the day of the speech was comprised mostly of University of the Pacific student-athletes, but there were also some coaches and younger athletes from the Stockton community....

Recommendation The Elements of Formula One Formula One cars truly are a masterpiece of engineering, These cars are the most technologically advanced, most rapidly developed cars in the world and are unmatched at what they do. A product of the human mind that pushes technology and man to its absolute limits. Formula One is the pinnacle of motor sports racing. The heart of a Formula One car is the chassis – the part of the automobile onto which everything is bolted and attached. Like most modern cars and aircraft, Formula One race cars feature monocoque construction. Monocoque is a French word meaning “single shell” which refers to the process of making the entire body out of a single piece of material. This material is a strong composite that is made up of spun carbon fibre set in resin or carbon fibres layered over aluminium mesh. The end result, a car that weighs in at just three-quarters of a ton. This lightweight bodywork also enables the car to reach speeds in excess of 300 kilometres per hour. (How Stuff Works, 2007 ) When you move at such phenomenal speeds, you need a lot of traction...

The World Health Organization predicts that by 2020, depression will be the second leading cause of mortality in the world, impacting nearly one-third of all adults (Murray & Lopez, 1996). While several forces are likely behind this increase, one of the most important factors may be the disconnection from people and their families and communities.

...There are many legal and cultural explanations for why Texas executes far more people than any other state and is doing so at a pace that has no parallel in the modern era of the death penalty in the U.S. What follows is a summary of the analyses. Texas has become ground zero for capital punishment. Between 1976 (when the Supreme Court lifted its prohibition on the death penalty) and 1998 Texas executed 167 people. Next in rank was Virginia which executed 60 during the same period. (**my note** as of today, Texas has executed 237 individuals, and Virginia has executed 80) Why do capital murder cases proceed through the Texas state court system with a speed unimaginable in other parts of the country? Brent Newton, in an article entitled "Capital Punishment: Texas Could Learn a Lot from Florida,"1argues that there are three procedures unique to the state's judicial system that enable it to execute convicted murderers with astonishing frequency: 1. Texas' appellate judges are elected to office and hence serve according to the pleasure of the public. Not surprisingly, they require a record of toughness on criminals in order to win re-election. Also, there are many indications that elected appellate judges generally are of a lesser quality than their appointed counterparts in other states. Newton even claims that these elected judges do not carefully consider the complexities of each specific death penalty case. As evidence, Newton argues that "[e]specially during the past...

...muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance and for enjoyment. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent the "diseases of affluence" such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity. It also improves mental health, helps prevent depression, helps to promote or maintain positive self-esteem, and can even augment an individual's sex appeal or body image, which again is also linked with higher levels of self-esteem. Childhood obesity is a growing global concern and physical exercise may help decrease the effects of childhood obesity in developed countries. Physical exercise is important for maintaining physical fitness and can contribute positively to maintaining a healthy weight, building and maintaining healthy bone density, muscle strength, and joint mobility, promoting physiological well-being, reducing surgical risks, and strengthening the immune system. Exercise also reduces levels of cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone that builds fat in the abdominal region, making weight loss difficult. Cortisol causes many health problems, both physical and mental. Frequent and regular aerobic exercise has been shown to help prevent or treat serious and life-threatening chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, insomnia, and depression. Endurance exercise before meals lowers blood glucose more than the same exercise after meals...

...Research Paper on Leadership Executive Summary Leadership is a quality which cannot be acquired by any person from the other but it can be acquired by self-determination of a person. Leadership is to make a difference, to create a positive change; providing the impetus that creates an atmosphere of change that improves the world, or at least the small part of the world around us. Leading is establishing direction and influencing others to follow that direction. Leaders are individuals who, by their actions, facilitate the movement of a group of people towards a common or shared goal. Leadership is an influential process. The distinction between leader and leadership is very important. The leader is an individual; leadership is the function or activity that person does. The word leader is often used interchangeably with the word manager to describe those individuals in an organization who have positions of formal authority, regardless of how they actually act in those jobs. But just because a manager is supposed to be a formal leader in an organization doesn't mean that he or she exercises leadership. Leadership is one of the important parts of management. Leadership means that we are willing to take on responsibility and make choices for our self, it's not something which was thrust upon by someone else, but a responsibility that we chose because we believe that we are the best man or woman for that job. Another...

...Introduction Manufactured in Redditch, UK, the Bullet was the culmination of designs that date back to 1933. The classic 350 cc model made its debut at the Earl’s Court motor show in 1948 and was an immediate success. Its big brother, the 500 cc came along later, in 1953. In 1955, a satellite factory was established in Madras, India, to meet demands from the Indian Army. When the UK factory closed in 1970, the Madras plant continued production. In 1994, Enfield India was acquired by the large engineering group, Eicher, which has since made a number of improvements to the bike. However, despite these, its distinctive appearance remains unchanged and provides an opportunity to enjoy the privilege of riding a “classic” reproduction bike. History of Royal Enfield In 1893, the Enfield Manufacturing Company Ltd was registered to manufacture bicycles. By 1899, Enfield were producing quadricycles [disambiguation needed] with De Dion engines and experimenting with a heavy bicycle frame fitted with a Minerva engine clamped to the front downtube. In 1912, the Royal Enfield Model 180 sidecar combination was introduced with a 770 cc V-twin JAP engine which was raced successfully in the Isle of Man TT and at Brooklands.

...April 21, 2015 Professor Mya Poe Advanced Writing Professor Northeastern University Boston, MA 02115 Dear Professor Poe, This semester has been a great learning opportunity for me and my writing skills. Before this class I was already comfortable with some of the learning goals presented on the syllabus, however, a few of them were strengthened with the projects we worked on. For example, before this class I would never peer review or revise my own papers. With the amount of revisions that were undertaken in all four projects, I feel that I have become more comfortable in the act of revision. Also, I was never good at incorporating forms of evidence to support my claims, ideas and arguments. This class was very helpful in showing how to take research and incorporate it into a project. Overall, this class has allowed me to strengthen my skills as a reviser, helped me “formulate and articulate a stance through my writing”, and helped me to use more forms of evidence to support my claims, ideas and arguments. Project 1 was the simplest of the four projects. I decided to analyze a research article on Marketing and how companies have started to move their businesses into developing nations. At first I didn’t think I would be able to write a rhetorical analysis on this article because of its length but after multiple revisions and help from peers I wrote my final draft. This was the one project where the revisions really helped me grow as a writer. Without these revisions...

Abstract Although older adults are thought to experience more stress and to be more vulnerable to its adverse effects, they often report less stress than younger adults and sometimes show more resilience. Paradoxically, while stress sometimes has long-term positive effects on well-being, studies differ as to whether this increases or decreases with age. We conclude that older individuals have learned to appraise and cope differently with stress. This protects them in spite of their increased physiological vulnerability and may also increase the possibility of stress-related growth and optimal aging.
