...The Ebola virus so far was only found in Sierra Lone, Liberia, Senegal, Ghana, and Nigeria, but now slowly it has started spreading in other parts of the world. The Ebola virus has symptoms that are similar to the flu, but then they dramatically increase. Some people think that the Ebola virus could be the next plague. Though, scientists disagree that the virus will be that terrible. The Ebola virus is the biggest problem to the world because it has so far no vaccination, it has a social impact, and an economic impact on people. So far there has been no official vaccination for the Ebola virus. A company from San Diego is trying to make a vaccination. But, the vaccination has only forty percent chance of working. So, there is a less than fifty percent chance that the vaccine will even work. But, this company is hopeful that by the end of 2015 that the vaccine will be ready. There have been five American Citizens that have worked in West Africa, and somehow they obtained the virus and were sent to a hospital in Georgia. But the vaccine only worked on three of the patients. The current vaccine does not meet the current Food Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regulations. Since there is no cure, the rate of immortality has gone up. The rate of mortality is seventy percent for an individual. That means that if you contract the virus then you have a seventy percent chance of not surviving the virus. About 4,598 people have died from...

...EBOLA OUTBREAK INTRODUCTION An epidemic of Ebola virus disease (EVD) is ongoing in West Africa. The outbreak began in Guinea in December 2013, but was not detected until March 2014, after which it spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Senegal. The outbreak is caused by the Zaire ebola virus, known simply as the Ebola virus (EBOV). It is the most severe outbreak of Ebola in terms of the number of human cases and deaths since the discovery of the virus in 1976, with the number of cases from the current outbreak now outnumbering the combined cases from all known previous outbreaks. Another outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has killed 13 people as of 26 August 2014, is believed to be unrelated to the West African outbreak. Initial outbreak in Guinea Researchers believe that the first human case of the Ebola virus disease leading to the 2014 outbreak was a 2-year-old boy who died 6 December 2013 in the village of Meliandou, Guéckédou Prefecture, Guinea. His mother, 3-year-old sister and grandmother then became ill with symptoms consistent with Ebola infection and died. People infected by those victims spread the disease to other village. On 19 March, the Ministry of Health acknowledged a local outbreak of an undetermined viral hemorrhagic fever; the outbreak, ongoing since February, had sickened at least 35 people and killed 23....

...Key health issues High infant and childhood mortality rates from deadly communicable diseases. Perspective/goals Initially, the goal was to develop a medical treatment that was safe, effective, and economically feasible to be used for all births, regardless of race, creed, or culture, in the United States. Eventually, the goal included the global community with the objective of immunizing all infants and children. Role/functions In order to provide immunizations for as many children as possible protocols are in place to capture every opportunity available to administer the inoculation. Staff in pediatric practice check for childhood immunizations during each appointment by interviewing the parents, checking the computerized records. Education is an ongoing process for parents regarding the importance to their children, and the community as a whole, regarding childhood immunizations. Some of the educational instruments available were printed literature for handouts, questionnaires that will reveal why parents are resistant to childhood immunizations, and PowerPoint presentations. One of the newest forms of providing information that I have observed during recent medical appointments as the use of large screen television sets in the lobbies and waiting rooms. They continuously promote information, to a captive audience as they wait their turn to be seen by a provider. ("Www.aap.org", 2015).

...copyright protects works of authorship, the specific creative expression of an idea through any medium of artistic expression that has been tangibly expressed. Copyright provides licensing fee and royalty payments. Copyright’s filing fee is small, registration period is relatively short, and the examination process is administrative. For trademark, the filing fee is much higher with a longer registration period, and an adversarial examination process. Registration and filling are desirable but not requite for both copyright and trademark, however it is a necessary step for issue patent. Both Copyrights and patents are under federal law while trademark laws differ in each state. There is also a federal trademark law. Once a work is created, it is under copyright protection, but registration is still necessary for protection defending. Trademarks and patents exist only when you register them and received approval. The expiry term also varies. The duration of copyrights varies, but normally one can last for the creator’s lifetime plus another seventy years. A patent will last for twenty years after the filling data....

...Africa’s performance and prospects Africa’s macroeconomic prospects Africa’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth is expected to strengthen to 4.5% in 2015 and 5% in 2016 after subdued expansion in 2013 (3.5%) and 2014 (3.9%). The 2014 growth was about one percentage point lower than predicted in last year’s African Economic Outlook, as the global economy remained weaker and some African countries saw severe domestic problems of various natures. But the world economy is improving and if the AEO 2015 predictions are right, Africa will soon be closing in on the impressive growth levels seen before the 2008/09 global economic crisis. Figure 1.

...individuals and adds to our rich heritage by contributing to our British culture. Our arts are constantly being shaped by new trends and our consumer choices are influenced by clever marketing and visual branding. The arts also improve the enjoyment of the environments which we live and work and shape the way in which we are perceived by others around the globe, whilst also contributing to how we view the world. However, the Arts have been left to suffer within the UK educational system in order to accommodate the severe budget cuts and restrictions being hauled at schools and colleges. With more time and focus being placed on academic subjects such as science and mathematics, there is an implication that they are more important. Subjects are placed within a hierarchy with the Arts taking the largest hit, as more measureable subjects are favoured so that schools can achieve governmental targets. Alternatively we are faced with a global responsibility in the wake of rapid climate change, with other humanitarian crises such as the West African Ebola outbreak and the South American Zika virus that can only be resolved through STEM (science; technology; engineering; mathematics). In September 2015 the UN General Assembly established the...

... Prologue The sun is about to set. That fuzzy and pitch-black place with a nostalgic hymn of the approaching dying twilight is already filled with his desire to wake up from his endless nightmare. Holding a golden ring on his right hand, he is calmly watching over the horizon as he tries to feel better, but he cannot for he is still caged within the memories of the wicked past and within the present catastrophe. He gradually leaned his back to that mango tree where their chained names are carved inside a heart. For the past 99 days, it has been his desperate habit to wait there for the coming of that person whom he knows will never arrive. Then liquids of emotions flowed out of his vision as his heart drowns with it. Nothing can comfort him since when that peak of joy bounced him out and turned him to be a man he is now. He was never insane yet he doesn’t already know of whom he is and even the people around him; he is just hopeless and unable to keep step of what happened for the past year. Grief and fear never left him and continued to slaved him and took control over his moral and physical character which paved him to be a ‘hard to decipher person’. However, he still lives for he has still an inch of dignity despite of great loneliness. Moreover, his heart is still shouting aloud saying, “I will never leave you..” Chapter I It’s Saturday. Lesther is very excited for he will be seeing his long-time girlfriend again to celebrate their 4th year anniversary. Of...

...instituting during the Great Depression that could have potentially gotten him re-elected in 1932. As with all history, historians read, interpret and then write their findings in documentation as to whether or not a historic event or person lived up to what the expectation of the outcome at that point and time. When discussing whether or not Herbert Hoover succeeded or not during his Presidency one must take into account is background. Herbert Clark Hoover was born in 1874 into a Quaker family, which influenced his entire life. Mr. Hoover learned from his Quaker roots “that men are not mere abstractions but that they are individual units of a social order”1. This doctrine set in place the building blocks on how Mr. Hoover view the world and for his sense of justice and fair play. Research point out that true to his Quaker roots Mr. Hoover believed that all business transactions should be tempered with a sense of justice and equity. It mattered not what race, creed or color the person was, everyone should be treated fairly. Mr. Hoover’s Quaker roots also instilled in him that as part of a social order one did not “toot their own horn” but worked for the greater good and had a definite belief in the separation of duties with the three branches of government. Prior to being elected President, Herbert Hoover earned the...

...INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS THEORY AND PRAXIS ASSIGNMENT II 1. Introduction The end of the Cold War opened the doors for a new era in the international relations history, the era of globalization. New actors, new events, new issues being securitized and new approaches of international relations, particularly of International Security Studies came out in this period. With this set of new affairs, the concepts of Human Security and Human Rights gained relevance in the international security and international norms field. And because those terms are still contested among both the academics and the States’ decision-makers, there is a need for us to understand what they really mean. The purpose of the present essay is to bring forward the differences between Human Security and Human Rights, regarding the fact that they are very similar and complementary, and also to understand the implications that the emphasis in the concept of Human Security have for the States foreign policy and for the international order and justice. The essay is composed by an introduction, a main body where we develop the answers for the research questions, a conclusion and finally the references. 2. The Prominence of the Concept Human Rights in International Relations 3.1. Human Security different from Human Rights? Despite the fact that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted in 1948, due the debate raised because of the Holocaust, the WWII and many others factors...

...sexually transmitted diseases with college students. Usually in class, the book will show pictures and get the medical list of symptoms with ten to twelve STDs. Never have I seen a presentation or a lecture directed at college students. For most college students are having sex, and yet the topic of STD is not being discuss. From my friends to family members, I have never known someone directly having a STD. The most common sexually transmitted diseases among college students are chlamydia, herpes, and human papillomavirus. I think college students should know about this because it is prevalent in our lives - with the lifestyle college students have from partying by consuming alcohol and then wanting to have sex. This isn't something like Ebola where the disease does not affect you because you live far away from the source. Sexually transmitted diseases are common and prevalent in society. Having the knowledge about the types of treatments and signs to look for can save you dealing with a decision for the rest of your life. Nearly 10 million people between 15 and 24 years old contract STDs each year (James 2014). Chlamydia One of the most common sexually transmitted diseases is Chlamydia. Chlamydia is an STI triggered by a microorganism called Chlamydia trachoma (Nelson, 2014). It leads to scar formation in the genital area. This is important to college students because college students have sex, resulting in the chance of pregnancy....

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Founded in 2015, Sigma Medical Technologies (SIGMA) is located in the SE region of Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the Sandia Industrial Park area east of Kirtland Air Force Base on Eubank Blvd. SIGMA, owned by Dr. Remy and Mr. Bob Sachs (of TEAM Technologies), serves as the patent holder and developer of “Ozone”. UNM Anderson has been contracted to provide an expeditionary marketing study. Ozone offers an invasive, defined space; gas based delivery system (generated by the product) to kill all living organisms in a room. It provides an affordable elimination and sterilization system for use by the Medical industry. It provides an additional layer of security against concealed germs, bacteria, and viral threats (pathogens). It may even be the cost effective solution to deliver solution based field units to disease hot spots that are engineered for quick and easy “Ozone” sterilization. The technology offers a “whole room” elimination solution (fills available defined space and kills pathogens) as opposed to standard “surface” based elimination systems (based on chemical wipe down style cleaning). Dr. Remy and his supportive team have a strong solution for a problem that has varying targets. As countermeasures...

...fulfilled in the First Century. A good twenty-five percent of the Bible is prophecy, and much of it concerns the end times. So it would make complete sense when Jesus commanded us to watch for Him, to be alert for His Trumpet Call as our Blessed Hope and not be discouraged because of the times we are living in. Jesus said to the Pharisees, "[Ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?" (Luke 12:56) Meaning that the Pharisees should have been discerning about the times they were living in and watching those signs. And notice He called them "hypocrites" because they had their eyes and focus on the wrong things. Well, here we are in 2006 in the 21st Century world, but most people who should be watching for their Lord are fast asleep instead of awake! There are signs (prophecies being fulfilled) everywhere you look if you know what to look for and why you are looking there, that indicate the Lord is really near. Prophecies...

...Viral Marketing By Chad Thevenot, Katherine Watier, and Team Member #3 Georgetown University, Communications, Culture & Technology Program May 2001 Word-of-mouth publicity is a centuries-old marketing technique. Once customers had a good experience with a product, they would tell their friends, who would often buy and use that product and then tell other friends – dispersing information and recommendations about the product via a social network. Mary Kay Cosmetics and Amway, brands that relied on social networks to inform potential customers about their products, used this technique with great success to build highly recognizable brands. Technology makes the spread of product knowledge from one person to another faster and more efficient. Today, digital media like the Internet are the new word of mouth networks, which act as easy, additional resources for people to spread the word. "The Net amplifies the power and accelerates the speed of feedback from users to potential adopters." "People have always relied on word-of-mouth to spread the news about products and services. The Internet just speeds things along," says Charlene Li, an analyst with Forrester Research. Word-of-mouth techniques are vital to marketing on the Internet. Consumers say the primary source of credibility that makes them visit a Web site is word-of-mouth referrals, usually an e-mail from a friend, according to the Internet research firm Jupiter Research.
