...advertising for blood donations in the past 30 years has been very effective to the outcome of the drives. Advertising is a good thing because it lets the public know when, where, and why a blood drive is being held. Advertisements are done so they can entice people to voluntarily donate blood. The blood is used in millions of cases in which a person may need a blood transfusion for many different reasons. Mostly, advertisement is used to target a certain group or demographic who are potential donors. To have regular donors and a plentiful supply of blood is the major cause of advertisement. There are natural disasters such as hurricane Katrina and super storm Sandy that came through and destroyed cities and town. Thousands of people were hurt in both that lost blood and needed a transfusion. As I found stated on www.gobag.com “Keeping an adequate supply of blood on hand is a challenge on a daily basis. There are daily occurrences that constantly draw on supplies daily such as premature births, illness, traumatic accidents and research - just to name a few. Having an adequate supply of blood immediately after a major disaster is not likely. Many people will come together AFTER a disaster to donate. It takes days to process blood before it can be used, many victims of disaster often don’t have days to wait and their lives can be lost.” (www.gobag.com, 2013). This is where good advertisement would have come in let the public know that there was a need for blood before something...

...continue with the lengthy list, the meteor, after piercing the atmosphere of earth, still remains around the same size, not withering at all through the intense heat and weathering that would occur by doing so. Also, last time I checked, meteors did not contain explosives. I only bring that up because when it impacts, it creates a huge explosion, rather than the dirt or displaced earth that would be sent into the air. Not to mention, the fireman that was there on impact, was obviously still able to drive his car even though the meteor basically destroyed it, I mean, that is totally plausible, right? Now, when David Duchovny and Orlando Jones, who play the role of two college professors, arrive to be the first to investigate the rock, they try to take a sample of the rock to test it. When they break off the piece of rock, it starts to “bleed”. Really, a rock can bleed? Next thing you know, the blood will start transforming into a sentient species! So, after they collect some of the the “blood”, they bring it back to the lab for testing and inspecting. Now, it is my understanding that in order to look at anything under a microscope you need light to do so. So even if the green light indicates that the scope is on, but the diaphragm light is not on, then I’m pretty sure that your not going to get very far. In addition, while he is looking at the sample through the non-lit microscope, it looks to be growing in the slide, however, when it grows to a point, the slide breaks. What...

This paper will discuss the differences in competencies, education, and practice between Associate Degree Nurses (ADNs) and Baccalaureate Degree Nurses (BSNs). This paper will also discuss the roles that skills and clinical versus academic experience play in practice decisions made by both BSN & ADN nurses. Associate Degree Nurses In 1952 Mildred Montag designed the Associate Nursing Program as a response to the critical national nursing shortage after the war. (Creasia, 2011) The shortened length of the program, two years, made it an ideal “collegiate alternative for the preparation of technical nurses” (Creasia, 2011) but Montag’s original intent of having ADNs work under the direction of BSNs became clouded along the way and the inclusion of core general nursing courses and clinical instruction led to the declaration of eligibility for RN licensure exams after graduation for these ADN nurses.

...Introduction Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has gained an increasingly high attention in recent years. CSR can be defined as the ways in which businesses align their values and behaviors with their various stakeholders such as employees, suppliers, customers, government and other societal interests on whom their operation may have an impact. The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Dubai government and the UAE has always been present from the earliest Islamic times, with people and organizations practising Islamic values, donating through philanthropy and Shariah compliant ways of commerce. In recent years, there have been worldwide initiatives to invest responsibly and focus on investing profits into community life and saving the environment. CSR addresses a company’s transparency or openness and considering its stakeholders’ expectations. This means that business does more than act out of self-interest and shows social responsibility (Juholin, 2004).

Organizations now realize that in order to survive and stay unique in business and obtain strategic advantages, they need to practice being socially responsible. Many larger organizations have already integrated CSR into their strategic plans as an important factor in order to have a sustainable business.

(WDC Dolphin Hunts). Almost 23,000 dolphins and other sea mammals are killed or captured in Japan every year, by the ever-growing countries whaling industry (WDC Dolphin Hunts).

Explaining many different theories as too why our sociological mindset seems to be primitive when trying to justify the ideology that sexuality needs to be oppressed for females, when in contrast it is glorified for males. Theories also suggest that our brains are psychologically “wired” for male dominance, such as when observing our closes lineage on the dendrogram, chimpanzees and exploring their interactions based on gender and sexuality.

...protect Nigerians from complications of diabetes? CHUKWUMA MUANYA writes. DIABETES is an age long, serious metabolic disorder with complications that results in significant morbidity and mortality. Chronic hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) during diabetes has been shown to cause glycation of body protein, which in turn leads to secondary complications that affect the eyes, kidneys, nerves and arteries. These complications may be delayed, lessened or prevented by maintaining blood glucose levels close to normal. Several studies have indicated that cardiovascular disease is the major cause of mortality and morbidity in modern societies, among the numerous complications of diabetes. Long standing diabetes has been documented to cause structural and functional cardiac impairment, which was found to lead to ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure. Previous studies have also shown that diabetics have significantly reduced testicular weights and tubule diameters. The changes in seminiferous tubules ranged from premature sloughing of epithelium to total cessation of spermatogenesis. But recent studies suggest that a combination of bitter leaf (Vernonia amygdalina) and scent leaf (Ocimum gratissimum) extracts could not only reduce the blood glucose level, but protects the heart and testes against impairment and complete destruction due to diabetes. A study by researchers at the University of Calabar published in February 2012 edition of The Internet Journal...
