...In the first class lecture we focused on theories of attachment. We discussed two prominent researchers of developmental attachment: John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth. From Bowlby’s monkey experiment we understand the main keys of attachment: warmth and responsiveness. From their research we can begin to understand the importance of a secure base for development. Infants are motivated to seek proximity to caregivers as a survival tool. Closeness to parents improves infant survival, emotional health and organization of mental processes. There are four distinct labels in which attachment styles are categorized: secure, insecure avoidant, insecure ambivalent, and insecure disorganized. The attachment style adopted by the child is surprisingly not...

...collaborations with families are significant partnerships in promoting healthy individual lifestyles, which ultimately contribute to the wellness of an entire community. This report, describes the nursing assessment and health plans for family Y. The Family Family Y is a traditional nuclear family with a four-month-old infant. The parents are both immigrants from Japan who are here only on limited student visa statuses. Most of their extended and immediate families are still in Japan. However, the couple has been successful in building a small group of dependable friends that form their support system. According to AY, acculturating during their first year in the United States was the most difficult experience she ever had to endure. The language barrier and longing for her family and friends were enough to cause her significant stress. The family is in the childbearing stage of development where they are learning their new roles as mother and father. AY terminated her employment to be a stay at home mom and HY, who works a minimum wage job as a sushi chef, became the sole provider for the family. AY states that while her son has brought her a new sense of inspiration to finish school and reach her dream of owning a business, motherhood is yet another hurdle to overcome. “I am always tired! When I am not with the baby, I am at school or doing homework. I miss going to work.” (AY, personal communication, April 25, 2016). Similar...

...Risk Management Nursing Documentation Oscar Chavez NUR 492 May 4, 2012 Susan Dean, RN, MSN, FNP Risk Management Nursing Documentation The issue of documentation of patient care has received considerable attention in the last few years for an array of reasons. Trends in society such as increased consumer education, informed consent, expectation for healthy baby, and an increasingly litigious society all contribute to increased risk management awareness on behalf of healthcare facilities. Risk management deals with the probability that a given risk will result in poor outcome and then attempts to reduce probability. El Centro Regional Medical Center (ECRMC) has identified nursing documentation as an area of greatest risk management. In this era of unprecedented change in healthcare, ECRMC has determined it was time to reengineer our existing approach to risk management consulting services to address more current needs for our patients and staff. The primary technique utilized in overcoming these limitations is to view training not as a stand-alone solution, rather as one element of a full performance improvement plan to address specific areas of concern. Instead of providing a general program on documentation, risk management has been working with nursing departments and other professionals to focus on the areas of deficiency or situations that need improvement. The foundation of risk management was broken into four separate issues. One was to pinpoint the exact nature...

However, despite claims of horror apparent in the Marquis from the very start, it is also reasonable to argue that the tale also combines elements of dark comedy within the text provided by the very uncanny male protagonist.

...The rightful owner to an Abortion The Right to an Abortion Abortion is a subject that sparks great debate there is no grey area, you are either for or against abortion. In the era that we live in today, moral standards are ever changing and decisions placed under a microscope. Abortions are becoming justified, acceptable and should be the choice of the woman holding the fetus. The reason for this choice is government makes the mistake of being involved in the choice of its individual people. As you turn on your television set and see matters of abortion being discusses, it is hard to rule out the religion, and science. These subjects will always cause friction when educating people about human life. Abortion is more than a procedure, it has psychological factors, and it has short-term and long-term effects. There are financial matters as well and those who bears the overall long-term effect, society or the individual needs to be addressed as well when speaking about abortions. The Supreme Court of the United States has been involved in highly publicized cases of abortion; Rowe v Wade, Gonzales v. Carnhart, Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of New England, are to name a few. The Supreme Court is the highest form of court system in the United States to decide these matters. The state should allow the people having the abortions to establish their own guidelines so they can govern these laws and regulations. Sexual Education in the school systems is flawed, teachers...

...Page 4 – 5 Page 6 Page 7 1|Page Assignment 01 ENG2602 A. Prose: Fiction Assignment Midnight’s Children is written by Salman Rashied, who was born in Bombay, India but lives in England. This is an English novel written in the first person narrative that is from the perspective of Saleem Sinia. Reading the passage it is quite clear that the theme here is Saleem Sinia’s attitude towards and the significance of India’s independence on the day of his birth.The distress and dismay of being born on this day is clearly established: ‘Oh spell it out, spell it out: at the precise moment of India’s arrival at independence, I tumbled forth into the world.’ (Rushdie, 1982). Repition is used to reflect Saleem’s irritation of having to specify his birth date. The protagonist and narrator of the story is Saleem Sinia, born at the exact moment India became an independent country. Saleem was born with telepathic powers and had an enormous and constantly runny nose with an extremely sensitive sense of smell gifts Saleem did not ask for, as he states, ‘For the next three decades, there was to be no escape.’ (Rushdie, 1982) The way the writer plunges the reader into the situation without a contrived introduction and writing from personal experience could be referred to as a poetic technique. The metaphorical emotional connotations portray Saleem’s conflicting emotions towards his country - not really accepting his fate or his country. ‘I had mysteriously been hand-cuffed to history,’...

...Leaving the Hive When John Replogle (MBA '93) became CEO of Burt's Bees in 2006, sales had been growing by over 30% per year over the previous four years across multiple, increasingly diversified channels of distribution in the United States and abroad. The company's brand leadership in the natural personal care category—itself growing by 15% per year over the same period—was secure, despite growing competition. Replogle's mantra was that all this momentum gave Burt's Bees a unique opportunity to bring natural personal care to the forefront of mainstream personal care in the coming years, a revolution that would be consistent with the original vision of Burt's Bees founder Roxanne Quimby, who thought that the natural and earth-friendly products would ultimately reach "everyone, everywhere." Replogle liked to provocatively claim that Burt's Bees wanted to become the "Starbucks of personal care," in reference to the niche coffee" brand that won over its category by imposing superior product expectations and a renewed sense of meaning in consumption. Achieving this ambitious goal, however, would require many changes for the Maine-born brand that carried an anti-commercial image of friendly quirkiness. Already, rapid growth had propelled Burt's products into mainstream outlets such as CVS and Walgreen pharmacies. Under Replogle's leadership, the product range would be changing rapidly as well. It would still star the brand's classics, including beeswax lip balm and lip shimmers...

...Human beings experience unique yet natural life processes. Among these progressions, is the process of aging. With the baby-boomer generation increasing in age, a demand has resulted for more information on how this population can live longer, happier, and healthier. As technology advances and medical knowledge increases, more research is being compiled to better understand exactly how the aging process works, and how longevity can be improved. Investigation and research has indicated that several factors could increase the longevity of not just this specific population, but of people in general. One such factor is involvement in an organized religion. It has been found that religious involvement of any type fosters a positive view of quality of life, provides a network of social support, and often promotes healthy habits and good stress management. Another such factor is strong cognitive skills. Studies have demonstrated that good stress management and the use of analytical skills that later result in what is referred to as “wisdom” can belay the effects of cognitive decline and other mental deficits. Lastly, studies of participation in daily physical activity in both early and later life can increase longevity by improving cardiovascular health and reducing the risk of other related health issues. Although many elements can contribute to increasing longevity, the most influential factors are organized religion, cognition, and physical activity. Membership in an organized religion...

...Examine the factors which affect language Development Learning to talk is one of the most visible and important achievements of early childhood. In a matter of months, and without advanced teaching, toddlers move from hesitant single words to sentences, and from a small vocabulary to one that is growing by a few new words a day. New language tools mean new opportunities for social understanding, for learning about the world, and for sharing experiences, pleasures and needs. It also means being able to understand simple instruction which aid in the teaching and learning process of the child. This paper will look at factors that affect the development of language in Zimbabwe and the world in general. It will look at what renowned scholars say about the development of language. Definition of terms Language according to Fredd C.C Peng(2007) is a behavior which utilizes body parts, the vocal apparatus and the visual system for oral language, the brachial apparatus and the visual system for sign language.

Bruce Goldstein (2008) defines language as a system of communication using sounds or symbols that enable us to express our feelings, thoughts, ideas and experience. lastly Language can be defined as a means of communication. Cooper(1989) defines language Development as the result of the series of on-going planned actions...

...Lex Cornia LI 532 Final Paper March 15, 2008 East of Eden: The Discovery of Innocence on the Western Frontier The western clouds divided and subdivided themselves into pink flakes modulated with tints of such unspeakable softness that it was a pain to come within the doors of civilization… How does Nature deify us with a few and cheap elements! Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature The West captivates people. The West both as a direction of navigation and as an idea occupies a magical realm where boundaries become blurred and what is light becomes twilight and dark. Just as the East represents the arrival of sun with its light and rationality—of darkness dispelled— so too does the West embody the loss of that sun’s light and logic and the commencement of night. However, there are more boundaries between East and West than merely the presence or absence of light. After the time of Columbus, the people who looked toward the West, and particularly the North American continent, saw more than just land. The West was a sacred place where magic, hallowed, and even treacherous experiences were possible. This idea that possibilities existed in the West that did not exist elsewhere motivated millions to leave the Old World for the new and redefine themselves in a Western landscape of unlimited possibilities. What is the West? These early settlers, religionists, and explorers to the West came to the shores of the Atlantic seaboard unsure of what to expect from the new...

Bowlby further asserts that once the attachments are established, the strength, and stability of the...
