Introduction The two very popular children’s books, “Ten, Nine, Eight”, by Molly Bang, and “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak are both captivating books that keep children’s interest and attention. Both were meant to be read as bedtime stories with “Ten, Nine Eight” written for toddlers and young children and “Where the Wild Things” are for a little older ones. Main Text “Ten, Nine, Eight” is a countdown book that depicts a loving relationship between a young child and her parent who eases her to sleep. The text makes readers look around the room to find things to count while gently making the young child relaxed and sleepy. Its simple words are very appropriate for its target readers, as it does not stimulate their imagination too much that it keeps them more awake. “Where the Wild Things Are” is quite the opposite. In the story, the character, Max is a naughty little boy who plays out the fantasies he visualizes in his vivid imagination. The story is filled with action from very strange creatures from very strange lands. Max tries to conquer his fear of monsters by imagining he can overpower them. Older children will definitely enjoy this story, even if it may scare them a bit. The active imagination of Max is something they can relate to, along with his fear of the unfamiliar and strange. While “Ten, Nine, Eight” relaxes children with the predictable pattern of the story, “Where The Wild Things Are” elicits many emotions that may both excite and frighten children before they settle down to a “feel good” end
Introduction The article under consideration dwells upon the quality of dying of patients in nursing homes. Vandervoort, Houttekier, Vander Stichele, van der Steen, and Van den Block (2014) conducted a cross-sectional study exploring the relationship between the presence of the advanced care plan and the quality of dying. A strong link between advanced care plans and quality of dying as nurses and nursing home residents’ relatives reported a lower level of distress (Vandervoort et al., 2014). It was also emphasized that such instruments as conversations with nursing professionals or the availability of GP orders that regulated decisions related to end-of-life care did not correlate with the quality of life. Main body The authors conclude that advanced care planning is the most effective strategy to ensure lower levels of discomfort and distress for both nursing professionals and relatives. Importantly, Vandervoort et al. (2014) claim that advanced care planning should occur as early as possible to ensure its effectiveness. This article is relevant to the topic as it sheds light on specific outcomes associated with advanced care planning. Although the reasons behind the attitudes remained beyond the scope of the research, it can be inferred that the presence of a detailed plan developed with the patient ensures a higher level of comfort. Relatives are confident that the patient’s needs are properly satisfied. Conclusion Nurses can follow such principles as autonomy and beneficence since the patient receives the care that has been considered in advance. It is also important to add that legal issues can be avoided with the help of advanced care plans. The patient has the right to make such serious decisions as end-of-life care treatment and decide what should be done. Healthcare professionals have a detailed plan they should follow so that the relatives could regard their actions as appropriate.

Introduction Lupin is a legume and classified as a non- starch seed that has high amounts of protein and low oil content. There are different species of lupin and the type that is used for food purposes is known as Lupinus angustifolius or sweet Australian (Duranti et al. 2008). Proteins are normally used as food additives since they contribute to sensory attributes and improve the stability of different food products (Rodriguez-ambriz et al. 2005). Proteins from animal source such as whey protein isolate (Perez et al. 2009) and egg yolk which have good emulsifying properties are used in many food applications (Daimer and Kulozik 2009). However, the high cost that is associated with animal base protein led to the use of alternative sources such as lupin protein isolate and because they have an excellent emulsifying and foaming properties (Raymundo et al. 2002). Lupin protein isolate are used in a wide range of food applications including the preparation of mayonnaise (Rosenthal 1999). Objective The aim of this study is to examine the use of lupin protein isolate in producing vegetable based mayonnaise at different concentration levels. Lupin proteins help to produce foam and are used as a vegetable alternative to egg-white foams in food products. One such product that requires large numbers of eggs for foam production include mayonnaise, which is an appetizing food consumed for its unique mouth feel and texture. Lupin protein isolates are used at varying levels to indicate the effects of varying concentrations on the end product, i.e. mayonnaise. Vegetable based mayonnaise is normally prepared with egg whites. In this study, we have used lupin protein isolates to prepare mayonnaise, but the levels of the concentration of the protein molecules vary. Our objective is to analyze the difference in the end results of the mayonnaise produced, for the texture, and the droplet size. We will see how, if any, the varying levels of lupin content in the preparation of the mixtures affect the results obtained, and then analyze the effects observed. The importance of conducting this study would be to distinguish the effects of lupin protein isolates concentration on proteins. On achieving a result, we can recommend mayonnaise manufacturers to use isolates of lupin proteins to enhance their productions, if they are interested. It has health benefits for which it can be increasingly used in food products today (Sweetingham).

Health care is one of the most hectic issues that the United States has had to deal with for so many years. The leadership of the country has been under pressure in the recent years to try to establish a permanent solution to the health care problem. The country’s population is expanding and aging at the same on a daily basis. This population has been increasingly demanding inexpensive medical services to help it remain healthy (Long and Masi 578). To develop health care systems in the United States, its leaders should emulate other countries that have succeeded in the sector. The People’s Republic of China is one of those countries that have well-developed health care systems that adequately cater for the medical needs of their citizens. China, in particular, has a nationalized health care system that is controlled entirely by the government (Niles 74). Although most Americans do not support the plan to adopt the Chinese health care system for fear that it may be manipulated by the government, the system offers a better solution to the health care problem in the U.S. If the Chinese system cannot be approved fully, at least it should be implemented partially. Nevertheless, finding the best solution to the United States’ health care problem requires more than just adopting health care systems of other countries. Americans need a comprehensive and effective health care scheme that can solve their “present and future medical needs” (Brecher, Costello, and Smith 1). The American health care system has evolved through several stages in many years. It can be traced from as far as mid 1700s when the earliest life insurance scheme was established in the country (“The Long Road” 16). However, proper health insurance plans came to existence in the 1850s, when Massachusetts, through the Franklin Health Assurance Company, began to offer accident insurance to its citizens. The accident insurance scheme catered for injuries that were incurred as a result of steamboat transport hitches and railroad accidents. It was after the initiation of the Franklin Company that several plans emerged, which covered all the common types of injuries and sicknesses (Long and Masi 583). However, the main medical insurance schemes in America were established too late. The medical schemes were established from 1930 onwards. There are a number of reasons that prevented an early invention of the medical plans. One of the major reasons is “the poor quality of the health care that was offered at the time” (Quadagno 18). The quality was so poor that the majority of Americans shunned hospitals terming them as unreliable. The schemes offered at the time were only meant to compensate the sick p
In art, modernism refers to the period in the 19 th century when artists began dealing with the present issues (Russell, 1981). Some of the notable modern artists are Gustave Courbet and Eduardo Manet. These artists contributed to modernism separately, but still, have some similarities in their artworks. A detailed analysis of the two artists about modernity helps in understanding their contributions to modern art. Modern artistry is filled with essential qualities and flatness that is different from the traditional artistry (Arnason & Prather, 1998). Gustave contributed to modernism by using realism, which is known to reject traditional subject matters since traditional artists paid attention to idealism (Stokstad, Grayson & Addiss, 1995). He believed that painting was best done by representing real things as a way of communicating through the use of physical objects. Because of this, his work was not abstract like that of most modern artists but represented a series of ideas that reflected ordinary life by failing to color the truth. Because of this, most of Gustave’s paintings done in the 1860s, are known for ushering in the era of modernism. Particularly, paintings like Burial at Ornans , the Stone Breakers and The Origin of the World, played huge roles in modernism. These paintings explored a new subject matter in art and most of them were not accepted for public exhibitions. The artist was prohibited from exhibiting them for public view. The Origin of the World was kept away from the public for quite a long time. In the Origin of the World, there was an image of a nude female showing the female sex organ. Most people believe that Gustave went too far in this painting since his language was forthright and not linked to tradition. The Stone Breakers showed two poor men completing their daily chores. On the other hand, the Burial at Ornans showed a burial ceremony in his city. By showing scenes from his daily life, Gustave was able to break away from the traditional mode of painting. Gustave’s paintings were also larger than the size of normal paintings showing that he also wanted them to be recognized among the historical paintings. On the other hand, Manet contributed to modernity by exploring a new subject while using spatial relationships and painterly values (Schneider, 1968). Manet did not tie himself to traditions but set to break the academic rules by presenting controversial artworks. Because of this, most of his artworks were banned from public view. For example, Le déjeuner sur l’herbe or Luncheon on the Grass was received with a lot of animosity from the public and other concerned parties. T
In his book, Barry Schwartz, who is an American psychologist, comprehensively examined the psychological aspects of the problem of choice faced by people in different spheres of life, ranging from the choice of goods and ending with the choice of profession, education, friends, religion and other. The book dwells upon and analyses the behavior of different types of people (in particular, maximizers and satisficers) facing the rich choice (Schwartz 2004). The author referred to various studies for determining to what type most of the people belong. Most importantly, the writing showed the advantages and disadvantages of having a large number of options and gave tips on making optimal decisions. The book was written based on the American material realities; however, it is assumed that it may be useful and applicable for the majority of buyers and marketers as many of the problems described in this area are common. Abundance of Options Barry Schwartz studied the behavior of “maximizers” (those who seek to have all the best) and the “satisficers” (those who are happy with a purchase that is good enough but not the best) in the standard purchasing environment. He came to the conclusion that in a setting with a huge variety of options, finding the best option frequently leads to a paralyzing condition because the only way to determine the best choice is to explore every available alternative (Schwartz 2004). For instance, the author gave an example when students were offered either six or thirty different themes for the written assignment. As a result, most of those who were offered only six variants were able to write a paper and showed better results while not all of the students, who were asked to choose from the thirty options, we’re able to write something at all. During the study, Dr. Schwartz found that people who strive for the selection of all the best in their life (maximizers) were depressed and less happy more often; he explained that the decision would take them much longer, and they would be less satisfied with the choice made rather than the people choosing reasonably good products or goods. Meanwhile, the satisficers are able to choose from a variety of options as they do not need to overanalyze every possible variant and compare and contrast myriads of commodities. The author argue
Introduction Bank of America Bank of America is a major financial institution that has been operating in the United States for over 110 years (Cheung & Holbeche, 2015). The firm has its headquarters in North Carolina, with several branches all over the country (Anderson, 2012). It also has branches in over forty countries around the world. According to McLean (2006), Bank of America is one of the United States’ financial institutions that have achieved success in the global market. The firm has several branches in Europe and Asia-Pacific. It also offers mobile and online financial services to its clients in any part of the world. The firm currently employs over 200,000 people in its many branches across the world. It is one of the most successful financial institutions in the global market and is currently considered one of the industry leaders. It has a strict employment policy as it seeks to ensure that its organizational culture is practiced all over the world. The researcher has worked in this bank and therefore understands its culture, and that is why it was chosen for the study. Relationship with the bank I am a former employee of Bank of America. I have been a client of the bank for the last six years. Within these six years, I have been pleased with the services offered by this firm. It is almost possible to predict how the employees of this bank in foreign markets handle customers because the firm has a clear policy that dictates how its entire customer care unit is run. It was for the short period that I worked at one of the branches of this firm that it became apparent how this firm achieves uniformity in customer care management. I noticed that the firm has been keen on promoting employees with a detailed understanding of how the firm is run. In most cases, regional managers were once working at the firm’s headquarters. Historical information about the bank Bank of America was founded in 1904 by Amedeo Giannini, an Italian who had immigrated to San Francisco, the United States. The first name of the firm was the Bank of Italy. During this time, Anderson (2012) says that most of the banks in the United States were only serving the wealthiest families. Moreover, most of these banks were very discriminatory, always serving a section of the society. Giannini came up with this small financial institution to serve the middle class and the rich who could not access the services of the mainstream banks because of their race. He started the business by accepting deposits and soon started lending money to truste
Introduction Lord Byron belongs to a romantic movement that emerged as a reaction against scientific discoveries. The romantic poets challenged rationality as the intellectual outlook of the Age of Reason. In the early Victorian period, rationalism acquired new values and practical influence, under the auspices of Byron (Abrams 33). Lord Byron, regarded today as well as in his own time as the greatest Victorian poet, was an enlightened rationalist. In such respects, the Victorian mind had its roots deep in eighteenth-century, not romantic, soil. In that same soil had also been fed the familiar cluster of restrictive social values and practices attributed to the Victorians—unfairly, insofar as it is assumed that they originated them. Lord Byron and Victorianism Victorianism, in general, existed in the court of George III, which was notorious among the freer spirits of the late eighteenth century for its oppressive virtue and sheer dullness. Thus, Lord Byron was involved in political struggle and considered one of the revolutionists of his time. His revolutionary fervor discomfited a national spirit dominated by middle-class insistence upon cautious, slow reform if reform was conceded to be necessary at all (Benton and DiYanni 445). His preoccupation with political ideas and his extravagant rhetoric did not appeal to the literary taste which had turned in the direction of Wordsworth and, among the percipient, toward Alfred Tennyson after his Poems of 1842. Byron’s personality and career were alien to a moral climate in which rectitude, chastity, and seriousness had replaced sexual attitudes (Stabler 84). In spirit Passed before Me, Byron writes: A spirit passed before me: I beheld The face of immortality unveiled – Deep sleep came down on every eye save mine – And there it stood, -all formless -but divine (Byron 43). Byron’s attacks on the political establishment in Don Juan, A Vision of Judgement , and elsewhere, available only in underground editions because of government prosecutions, were veritable Holy Writ among the discontented workers, and their sentiments helped inflame popular radicalism between the 1820s and the I840’s (Stabler 66). In early Victorian society at large, romantic emotionalism manifested itself in numerous ways—in the rhetoric of politicians in Parliament and of Nonconformist preachers and hymn writers; in the oratory of radical agitators; in some painters’ obsession with apocalyptic subjects; in the sentimentality which governed domestic relations, the conduct of courtship, the veneration of the fireside; in the unapologetic tears shed by stalwart men (Stabler 64). Romantic generation The younger romantic generation, Byron, whose celebrity during his lifetime had outshone that of all the others put together, remained in the public eye for a decade after his death in 1824 because of his surviving friends’ acrimonious squabbling over issues connected with the writing of his biography (Stabler 39). The popularity of his poems was assisted for some years by the heroic circumstances of his death. Byron died
Gangs are dangerous groupings aimed at committing crimes on the territory of the country. Many people are sure that when a gang is imprisoned, its activity is finished. In many cases it is so, but there are cases when gangs which were active at freedom may continue their activities in prison. Prison gangs are special gangs which operate on the territory of prisons. Their main activities are limited by the territory, but their affect is great. These gangs protect its members and have the power to punish those who committed unethically in relation to prison norm of morality. Drug, tobacco, and alcohol are the issues controlled by the prison gangs. Such activities are illegal and should be punished. Much has already been done in order to limit the activities of gangs on the territory of prisons, still, there is much to be done in order to make corrections safe and protected from lawlessness. Prison gang members are usually organized around one leader. This person is usually responsible for discipline inside the gang. A leader runs all the affairs of a gang and makes necessary decisions. As it has already been said prison gangs run alcohol and drug business in prisons. Violence in prison is also the result of the activities of these gangs. It is obvious that if there are two or more gangs on the territory of a prison they are going to fight for the sphere of influence. Drugs and alcohol also promote violence which leads to lack of discipline and other specific law violations. Crimes and murders in prisons also happen and this is one of the worst outcomes of the gangs’ activities. There are a lot of activities which are taken in order to prevent gang crimes. In many prisons there are gang intelligence officers who are “a prison staff charged with collecting intelligence and advising administrators regarding strategies to manage and contain prison activity” (Seiter, 2011, p. 365). These structures are responsible for identifying the prison gang members, calculating their influence and making sure that all the channels are monitored. Many prisons do not expose these channels as they are sure that the new ones are going to be organized, but when the channels of drug and alcohol supply are known it is easier to follow and predict the further crimes. Correction activities should also be based on teaching prisoners. It is proved that educated people
Introduction From around 1990, the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) has been carrying out the oversight of the categorization of Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) proficiencies. The major proficiencies are highly fundamental for every nurse since they denote the assurance of quality practice after successfully completing the course. Before the end of 2011, NONPF presented reorganized primary competencies applicable to every nurse (Lowe, Plummer, O’Brien, & Boyd, 2012). This study is based on an interview carried out with the participation of an advanced practice nurse leader. The APN leader responded to the interview questions before a face-to-face interview. In the course of the face-to-face interview, I (the interviewer) sought to assess the proficiencies of the candidate. In this regard, I employed open-ended queries to give the interviewee (the APN leader) the confidence to respond. All through the interview, the interviewer was dedicated to recognizing the major proficiencies in medical organizations. On this note, the interviewer realized the manner in which the interviewee attained his proficiencies. The interviewer was also eager to observe the way the interviewee expressed his proficiencies and effectiveness in his workplace. The NONPF Nurse Practitioner Core Competencies The major competencies by the NONPF have been under application over the last twenty years. Currently, there are 9 nurse practitioner core competencies being employed. The competencies encompass technology and information literacy, health provision system, quality, leadership, policy, ethics, practice analysis, scientific foundation, and autonomous practice. Remarkably, the competencies mentioned above are regularly reorganized. Such nurse practitioner competencies incorporate the current essential proficiencies of the Doctor of Nursing Practice. In cooperation, they function as supervisory standards for the learning programs, which train nurse practitioners to nurture a thorough range of practice
