Many people dream of becoming famous and successful personalities, achieving everything in life that one can only imagine. Someone aspires to earn millions of dollars; someone dreams of finding their soulmate and never part with them. Some people are careerists by nature, which means that achievements in the profession they have chosen are significant to them. My dream started small – I desperately wanted to learn English and to speak it perfectly. The dreams of billions of people living on our planet are united by one simple thing – perseverance. It is impossible to achieve success in any business if one does not put effort and determination. Even the most seemingly impossible goal becomes attainable if the person who aspires to it does not stop, despite the obstacles that arise. I was born in Cuba, but at the age of 13, I moved to Cape Coral, located in Florida. Of course, I was fluent in Spanish, which was my native language, but I faced a problem in the USA – I needed to learn English to feel comfortable and free. I had a desire to become a complete and successful citizen of the United States, which was impossible without advanced knowledge of the language of this state. Nevertheless, despite my decision, this process was by no means quick and simple. Learning a foreign language was arduous, although I found myself in a foreign language environment where all the people around spoke English. I had to study hundreds of new words, constructions, phrasal utterances, and symbolic figures of speech. My best friends for a while were reference books on grammar and tenses of the English language, which later allowed me to distinguish all the intricacies of the narrative of English literature. It was challenging to read aloud, hearing my lousy pronunciation, in which a foreign accent is guessed. Moreover, I often had to deal with criticism from other people who expressed opinions about my successes and even criticized my achievements. Nevertheless, I did not give up, driven by the desire to improve my professional skills and work prospects. In addition, I was eager to increas

Business outlets are inculcating technological changes into their systems to reach their partners and consumers. Wal-Mart, a cargo and food handling company, after getting difficulties in handling large volumes of data adopted the Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID). This device is more sensitive than the bar-code systems, as it can sense hidden items. However, implementing RFID has some challenges, which organizations are facing. In this discussion, I will compare and contrast the issues that faced Wal-Mart to those which Harley-Davidson, a motorcycle manufacturing company, may face when implementing RFID. The first comparable challenge is the high installation cost. When Wal-Mart tried to install the RFID, the suppliers opposed the move citing the high cost of obtaining tag readers and other machineries like computer systems to run the program effectively. Similarly, Harley-Davidson Company had problems with its suppliers who dealt in variety of products and with many companies. To elaborate further, fixing of RFID tag on all products of low prices is expensive in the end. Consequently, the prices of these products like motor vehicle spare parts will increase, thus, lowering sales. Therefore, the technology is beneficial when used on products of high prices. The next issue is the lack of global data standardization. Unlike bar-codes, the general operation of RFID is at high frequencies, which varies worldwide. Most of these companies opt for RFID of low frequency to minimize on expenses. Each frequency has its own standards of operation, and within the standards, there are numerous versions and different options per version. This feature will prompt these companies to implement several RFID standards. The lack of a universal standard may make Harley-Davidson experience customers’ rebellion, as there will be lack of trust in their service provision. On the contrary, as Harley-Davidson standardized all its purchasing procedures to minimize the cost of operations on its suppliers, Wal-Mart did not streamline their purchasing procedures. Notably, Harley-Davidson will not face the issue of data management since it had adjusted its communication systems; for example, the launches of websites to ensure suppliers get changes in product information at anytime. Further, the portals aided real time communication between the company and the suppliers. RFID requires well-deve
In the following paper, I have my purpose to summarize the article “From an Attempted Suicide to Salvation, Then to Helping Others” by Mathew Warren printed in New York Times not long ago. In addition, I will offer my comments concerning selected aspects of the article’s importance and will explain my choice of this particular piece of information about the issues of substance abuse and addiction and families. Article Summary The article tells about Sheaneen Holimon, a courageous and spirited lady who knows well what the problem of drug addiction is about. After years of fighting with this serious problem, she was so distressed on the reason of her inability to quit this maleficent predilection that she wanted to commit suicide. Still, Ms. Holimon was able to see a miracle eventually as she believed in her future and valued her family. Ms. Holimon explains that her father’s conduct made her a very unhappy child and caused her to take drugs at a very early age. By the age of fifteen, she was a serious drug addict; however, she succeeded to graduate from high school and find a job as a secretary. Nonetheless, Ms. Holimon did not manage to preserve her working place on the reason of becoming a heavy drunkard and drug addict. She had a small period of revival when she gave birth to her son. Sadly, this period did not continue for long, and she returned to her dangerous lifestyle. The same situation repeated after the birth of her daughter. Once, she reflected on her entire life, her two little children, long years wasted on the reason of this disastrous lifestyle, and made a wakeup call of last hope to her mother. Then she joined a rehabilitation program. That was not a short experience and not an easy one. Ms. Holimon fought courageously, and eventually, she managed to have certain success. This, in turn, motivated her to help others. Nowadays, though Sheaneen Holimon is still under some rehabilitation therapy by herself, this spirited lady has a significant experience of helping others and overcoming a lot of difficulties for this sake including material ones. To conclude on this encouraging experience, it should be mentioned that Ms. Holimon has succeeded in reviving some of her family relations, and she is still putting a lot of effort to get ahead in this area to the fullest extent possible. Critical Reflections The primary purpose of this article seems to inform the readers about success that was achieved by a courageous lady who strives to conquer her drug addiction throughout her entire life and has managed to have certain achievements. I have chosen this article as I believe it contains an encouraging and powerful message for all people who want to conquer their exhausting battle with drug addiction. The article’s importance cannot be underestimated; every person facing such serious problem as drug addiction, or who has a relative or any other close person with such a terrible problem knows how vital it is to know from some other person’s experience that it is possible to win the fight with this evil. Conclusion The article raises the very serious issues that are rife with the
Changes in the ecology, global warming, density of the population growth, increased migration ability of the population, and other circumstances instigate the appearance and spread of unknown infections throughout the world. The emergence of diseases provoked by the new coronavirus has already become an emergency of international importance. It is known that the most common clinical manifestation of a new infection is pneumonia, and also a significant part of patients has respiratory distress syndrome. Coronavirus infection is an acute viral disease with a primary lesion of the upper respiratory tract caused by an RNA virus of the genus Betacoronavirus of the Coronaviridae family (Zhou et al. 3). The name of the virus is associated with its structure, which is extensive spiky processes in the form of clubs that are issued from the supercapsid, which resemble the crown (Zhou et al. 3). A nucleocapsid is a flexible helix consisting of a genomic plus RNA strand and a large number of N nucleoprotein molecules, and it has the largest genome among RNA genomic viruses. The purpose of the “corona” in coronaviruses is associated with a specific mechanism of penetration through the cell membrane by simulating molecules to which transmembrane cell receptors respond. The primary target cells for coronaviruses are the cells of the alveolar epithelium in the cytoplasm in which the virus replicates. After the assembly of the virions, they pass into cytoplasmic vacuoles, which migrate to the cell membrane and exit into the extracellular space by exocytosis (Zhou et al. 7). Virus antigens are not expressed on the cell surface until virions exit the cell, and therefore, antibody formation and interferon synthesis are stimulated relatively late. The structure of syncytia under the influence of the virus makes it possible to spread into the tissue quickly. The action of the illness causes an increase in the permeability of cell membranes and progressed transport of albumin-rich fluid into the interstitial tissue of the lung and the lumen of the alveoli. The natural reservoir of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is bats, and mammals that eat bats can serve as an additional reservoir as well, with further distribution among humans. Phylogenetic studies of isolated strains showed that the genomic sequences of viruses found in bats are 99 percent identical to those isolated from patients with COVID-19 (Jiang et al. 1). Currently, the primary source of contamination is an infected person, including those at the end of the incubation, or prodromal period (t
Context On July 8, 2013, a storm occurred that produced Toronto’s record rainfall in a day. The precipitation mechanism resulting in the downpour involved the advection of a weak low-pressure system and a mass of warm and humid air, which made its way over Ontario (Boodoo et al., 2015). The advection developed into several short-lived, pulse-type thunderstorms. However, these storms were not accompanied by any damaging winds or hail (Sandink, 2016). They were only characterized by heavy rain, which fell across Southern Ontario to cause significant flash floods. The mid-afternoon saw the development of a weak surface pressure trough in the north of Toronto. The high humidity resulted from the proximity to Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. The conditions were an indication of highly precipitable water, weak winds, and weak shear. Normally, moisture, instability, and lifting are required for the development of a convectional storm. Apart from these three components, Boodoo et al. (2015) mention wind shear as the fourth component that produces severe thunderstorms. The surface dew point must also be at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit to trigger a surface-based thunderstorm. The type of convective precipitation which occurred in Toronto was caused by both lifting and instability. In this case, air rose on its own after being lifted to the troposphere. According to Park and Min (2017), instability makes air to rise faster compared to the case of forced lifting alone. During these processes, there was an increase in relative humidity due to a subsequent rise of unsaturated air. Upon saturation, the lifting produced clouds, hence precipitation. As a result, there was thunder and heavy precipitation of almost 140 mm which lasted just two hours. Surface and Groundwater Hydrology Land cover under the management of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority ranges from mostly rural areas to large urbanized cities, in this case, the Don River Watershed. According to the Toronto and Region Conservation (2009) report, groundwater hydrology in these watersheds is affected by the physiography on the surface and underneath the waterfront. Urbanization poses the greatest challenge to the watershed within the TRCA Region. In this regard, urbanization has created an impervious cover in the watershed, which limits the natural infiltration of precipitation. The effects of the impervious cover caused by urbanization are evident in Mansoor et al.’s (2018) comparison of the rivers’ stream hydrographs. Artificial pipes and channels have, therefore, been used to direct rainwater straight to the watercourse. The tributaries of Don River West were piped and buried after the reclamation of wetlands. It means that the hydrologic cycle of the watershed was altered by the expanses of roads, parking lots, rooftops, pavements, and gutters (Mansoor et al., 2018). During extreme storm events, the water which once soaked into the ground is currently collected in interconnected underground sewers and taken to the rive
Introduction This paper talks about Lansing Community College (LCC) and how it plans to accomplish the school’s goal of continuing the schools’ good reputation when it comes to the retention level of its students, particularly that of the continuously growing population of Latino students. Through the different focus group activities, surveys, and varied data analysis, a new program (now coined as the LUCERO program, ‘an English acronym standing for Latinos United with Energy, Respect and Price’) was established in 2003. LCC made sure that this program will b effectively facilitated by giving enough assistance and subsidy for the needs of the Latinos in elation to their retention rates. Included in the LCC’s support are:  1. Technology in the form of availability of laptops that Latino students can have access with (and
Introduction There are over thirty million surgeries performed every year in the United States. Despite advances in surgical and anesthesia technique, as well as enhancements in preoperative care, surgical site infections (SSIs) are associated with about half a million of the annual surgical procedures. Steinberg, Braun, Hellinger, & Kusek (2009), claim that the probability of postoperative complications increases significantly from 6% to 30% for patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery and those undergoing high-risk surgery respectively. The implications of SSIs include prolonged hospital length of stay, hospital costs from $1,400 for infectious complications to $50,000 for respiratory complications, and mortality (Hammond, et al., 2011). The Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) was established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Its key role was to decrease surgical morbidity by up to 25% by 2010. The target areas for SCIP are a decrease of postoperative complications, such as SSI, venous thromboembolism, postoperative pneumonia, and cardiac complications through the establishment of surgical practice guidelines using evidence-based medicine (Stulberg, Delaney, & Neuhauser, 2010). Most of the complications associated with surgery, including SSIs, cardiovascular complications, respiratory complications, and thromboembolic complications, have stipulated guidelines for their prevention based on numerous years of evidence-based research. However, there are still numerous instances of failure to apply standards of care known to inhibit unfavorable outcomes, which causes harm to large numbers of patients (Pastor, Artinyan, Varma, Kim, Gibbs, & Garcia-Aguilar, 2010). This project involves the analysis of various evidence-based practice journal articles in order to assess the impact of various processes of care performance measures including prevention of infection, prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE), prevention of cardiac events, and prevention of respiratory complications. The project is vital due to the increasing interest in the quality of surgical care by multiple parties including purchasers, payers and consumers of health care. Due to the unpredictable nature of outcomes from surgeries, these parties continue to seek transparency and accountability in the surgical process (Berenguer, Ochsner, Lord, & Senkowski, 2010). Additionally, there is increased pressure to reduce the high costs and healthcare expenditures associated with surgical complications. As such, this project seeks to examine multiple performance measures govern the quality of surgery. Identification of relevant scholarly resources Since the establishment of SCIP in 2006, there have been numerous efforts by various hospitals to minimize surgical site infections. In addition, the Senate Bill 739 required all general acute care hospitals to implement and report annually on their implementation of infection surveillance and infection prevention process measures that were recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee. As a result, scholars have had access to data on which to co
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a term used to define or describe new sequencing methods that allow for faster, cheaper and convenient RNA and DNA sequencing. It has continued to transform the study of molecular biology and genomics. Despite being a young development or field, NGS has become critical and useful in a number of analyses involving RNA and DNA sequencing within the past decade. The power of modern machines and innovation is making it possible for researchers and scientists to sequence millions of DNA and RNA molecules instantly. The current trend is that many professionals and scholars are relying on NGS to pursue additional medical studies, monitor the development of genetic diseases and conduct clinical diagnostics. This practice has become possible since NGS supports the sequencing of several samples within the same period. The major technologies in this field include pyrosequencing, sequencing by litigation, ion semiconductor sequencing and sequencing by synthesis (Akkari, Smith, Westfall, & Lupo, 2019). Researchers are also considering new ideas and advancements to take this process to the next level. This paper gives a detailed discussion of the mechanism of NGS and latest researches in the field. Mechanism Massive parallel sequencing or NGS is a field that developed within the past two decades. Adamo et al. (2018) indicate that the earliest platforms for NGS became available between 1994 and 1998. Within a period of seven years, such technologies had been commercialised in different parts of the world. Many experts believe that this kind of innovation is going to advance in the future and continue to meet the increasing demands for DNA analysis and sequencing. Several steps are considered when conducting this kind of sequencing. Firstly, clonal amplification is done to generate the required DNA libraries. This is usually conducted through PCR in vitro (Akkari, Smith, Westfall, & Lupo, 2019). Secondly, nucleotides are added to the sequenced DNA using a process known as synthesis (Adamo et al., 2018). Thirdly, the amplified and spatially segregated DNA strands are sequenced in a massive or large-scale fashion. This means that physical separation is unnecessary or unneeded. Although each available NGS might have a unique strategy, it tends to follow these key processes or procedures. The materials required for DNA sequencing include blood and other body samples, including hair and dead tissues. Adequate quantities should be collected and used for the NGS process in an attempt to deliver positive results. Latest Case Study and Research Cancer has become a major health challenge affecting many experts in the field of medicine and patients. With the advancement of NGS, researchers in this area have been keen to adopt its use for detecting and analysing a wide range of mutations in human cells. This technology has been found effective in studying loss-of-function and activation mutations in different gene targets. The us
