...Lisa Vang Wanda Russell English 160W 12pm 10 September 2013 Licensed Home Care Agencies: An Annotated Bibliography Graham, Judith. “In California, Intense Debate Over Home Care.” The New Old Age. The New York Times, 2013. Web. 6 September 2013. Graham addresses the debate which involves the licensing of home care agencies in the state of California. Unions and organizations that support the elderly take one stand to push for legislation that would license home care agencies and certify its workers. The home care agencies take the other stand in opposing this legislation by means of having to disclose names and the possibility of unaffordable and difficult obtainment of care. This information would be used to address both sides of the argument. It is helpful in not only taking one side of the debate, but both, so that a clear understanding may be presented by Beebe, Deane. “California Bill Requires Licensing and Regulations for Non-Medical Home Care Providers.” 2013.

Effectiveness of a Pharmacist-Based Smoking-Cessation Program and Its Impact on Quality of Life. webscape. 2002. Available at http:// www.medscape.com/viewarticle/438855_2. Accessed July 1, 2014 Pharmacists managed self-referred patients in meetings over a few months while using replacement therapies. At three and six months the smoking cessation status of each individual was measured and just under half of the patients were smoke free at the three months and about half more again were smoke free at the six month mark. The article is published on a medical news website that keeps up to date on most all areas of medicine. The original source of the article is from Pharmacotherapy: a journal of human pharmacology and drug therapy. I would have to say this is a high quality article. The author is very thorough in recording the number of patients, the number of meetings and how long they were over what period of time. I think this experiment is most credible as well because they actually read the carbon monoxide exhaled by the patients at three and six months to verify their smoking cessation chemically. The article is relevant to the topic because the programs that lead these patients to being smoke free were lead by pharmacists. The whole intention of the experiment was to gauge how effective pharmacists are in smoking cessation and the results prove...

...Headaches are a nuisance and one that people always try to get rid of the moment it happens. Most resort to the normal relief options of ibuprofen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, to neurologists and prescribed medication to help alleviate the pain presented from such headache. Sometimes though, people prefer not to take medication or the medication just doesn’t seem to work for them. For reasons as such, people turn to complementary and alternative medicine to ease the pain, specifically acupuncture therapy. For reasons not quite fully understood, this therapy helps to treat headaches in positive outcomes for the majority of people. Acupuncture therapy is an alternative to the normal standard form of treatment that can virtually have no side effects, is much less invasive, and has no need drugs that need to be metabolized by the body.

Gifting done within the context of employment is now the subject of regulation in many professions as part of a broader effort to promote independence, impartiality, and objectivity. Based upon a survey of more than twenty professional associations and fields of employment, this commentary examines the historical roots of gifting, why it poses an ethical problem, and how many organizations across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors are adopting policies to address this practice. Overall, three conclusions are reached. First, because gifting creates...

The majority of time pregnant women aren’t shackled down unless the prison officials feel that they will harm themselves, or present themselves as a legitimate flight risk. Nine times out of ten when pregnant women enter the criminal justice system they are less likely to receive prenatal care, and are more likely to experience intimate partner violence, poor nutrition, chronic disease, infectious diseases, mental illness, and drug and alcohol abuse. These are all things that could put the fetus at risk when it comes to birth defects and many other potential damages to the child. The reason for shackling incarcerated pregnant women is to prevent them from harming correctional officers, and/or harming themselves. In the event there is an emergency, shackles may cause unnecessary delays in the administration of potentially lifesaving measures. In conclusion, it’s best that pregnant women are on their best behavior while incarcerated, because...

...Chabat, Jorge. “Mexico's War on Drugs: No Margin for Maneuver.” The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, July 2002. Web. Jorge Chabat’s article may have been written well over 10 years ago and though he could not have predicted the harsh aspects of the Mexican clash regarding the drug business, several issues he indicated are still substantial to this day. Chabat begins his article by giving a brief summary of Mexico’s illegal drug trafficking trade. He points out that even though Mexico is not a large buyer in drugs for recreational purposes, it provided nearly 3/4 of marijuana and trafficked 60% of cocaine to the US by the 1980s. Due to huge success with the American market, the Mexican cartels were able to obtain money and along with violence, fight their way to the top. With the newly obtained supremacy, arose corruption within the government. Towards the end of 1990s, it was stated that numerous Mexican state governors were corrupted with reports of high profile cartel prisoners disappearing. Along with the help and pressure from the US, the Mexican government continued their efforts to diminish the illicit drug trade, resulting in arrests of high profile criminals, military and public officials but such efforts were futile. The President Fox continued the efforts after his appointment in 2000, in which resulted in the arrest of the entire staff of attorney general’s office in Chihuahua. Chabot stated several different alternatives for Mexico...

...Manipulation. (n.d.). Retrieved September 8, 2014, from http://www.sec.gov/answers/tmanipul.htm The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) define manipulation as, “Manipulation is intentional conduct designed to deceive investors by controlling or artificially affecting the market for a security. Manipulation can involve a number of techniques to affect the supply of, or demand for, a stock. They include: spreading false or misleading information about a company; improperly limiting the number of publicly-available shares; or rigging quotes, prices or trades to create a false or deceptive picture of the demand for a security. Those who engage in manipulation are subject to various civil and criminal sanctions.” This definition is the foundation of how manipulation of any sort in business is not only unethical, but is also illegal. Following the definition given by the SEC, one can learn about manipulation in business and the problems it can cause. Goldstein, J. (1992).

...Ivana Barac Professor Harold ENGL 2131 22 March 2016 Phillis Wheatley was an African slave that was brought to America in the mid to late 1700’s. Her new slave owners in Boston had an immensely unique relationship with her. They taught Wheatley how to read and write which eventually led her to become an influential poet. She has created many poems in her life regarding her outlook on slavery. In one particular poem, “On Being Brought from Africa to America”, Wheatley shows her positive and uplifting stance on slavery. CARRETTA, VINCENT. "Phillis Wheatley: Researching A Life." Historical Journal Of Massachusetts 43.2 (2015): 64-89. America: History and Life with Full Text. Web. 22 Mar. 2016. Vincent Carretta created an article to detail the life of Phillis Wheatley which ultimately assists readers in understanding why she was so uplifting in her poetry. He begins with a brief introduction on her early life and background. Shortly after discussing Wheatley’s early life, Carretta brings in a new perspective on her stating, “The literary quality and the political significance of her writings have been challenged since the eighteenth century” (Corretta 66). The statement he presents shows an interesting view when dealing with a poet who is so significant in literature. He later speaks of Wheatley’s husband and other trips she had taken away from Africa. The situations Carretta informs readers on brings insight on Wheatley’s life and how/why she became the type of woman...
