Introduction FedEx is a shipping company that was founded in 1971in Memphis. The founder of this company was a former Marine with the United States of America: Fredrick W. Smith. Beginning its services in 1973, it majorly used its name: Federal Express, to enable it to acquire quick contracts from the government. It quickly became a leader in its line of business through various steps that it undertook. One such move was application of jet planes in service delivery, especially after cargo airline deregulation. Further still, there was the pioneering of a distribution paradigm called spoke hub. With the change of name from Federal Express to FedEx in 2000 it aggressively started its advertising campaigns thus becoming more popular. This can also be attributed to the fact that it employed overnight shipping. Its major competitors in its line of business include USPS, UPS and DHL. Sending an international mail via FedEx while in the United State of America is quite simple. All that is needed to be done is just putting the mail that is to be sent in an international destination into a FedEx bag that is designated as international mail service. Next, a call to FedEx using their known number i.e. 1.888.339.6245 would enable you order supplies for packaging airways bills that are preprinted. Before sending, these mails are sorted after being stamped. This is usually done by FedEx personnel or if not possible then their designee would do that. After stamping, they are then shipped to their respective designate countries and handed over to the authorities in charge of postal deliveries in that particular country. Normally this mode of shipment is used for commodities that are considered low valued for example goods for household use, CDs, or films. Personal Experience with FedEx While sending printed materials mostly in form of books to a friend of mine in Saudi Arabia, I decide to use FedEx. This was especially so since these materials were urgently needed. I did follow all of the FedEx procedure involved while sending materials to international designations and within a short while, I had paid for the postage and they were off. I was however promised that they would be received in Saudi Arabia within a maximum of 11 days. I did track the mail via their web enable service. True to their words, it only took 4 days to arrive in Saudi Arabia. The mail was now in the Hands of there Saudi Arabia Authorities. I was even prompted to tell my friend to give it maximum 2 days. However, 24 hours did not lapse before my friend finally called me to let me know that she had received the mail. Therefore my little encounter with the FedEx services was just fine. Their staffs were so willing to help and could give you any information that you did want to have. This was such a nice pleasure and I can now even comfortably send something of a higher value via FedEx to people around off course after insuring it. They simply know how to keep their word. Most importantly however is the fact that although I paid for a standard service, my sent mail got delivered in time period that is designated as premium. That was quite cool. Experien
My activities associated with my role as a nurse are grounded on the specific personal philosophy of nursing. This philosophy is based on such fundament as my vision of the nursing paradigms and particular views regarding the concrete elements of the nursing practice. From this perspective, my purpose in this paper is to articulate the personal philosophy of nursing with the focus on discussing the paradigms and their elements. I also provide my views regarding the principles of accountability and responsibility, discuss the issues of assignment and delegation of tasks, clarify the issue of moral obligation, and analyze the aspects of the health care environment. The main nursing paradigms are Health, Nursing, Client, and Environment. I distinguish such critical elements of the health paradigm as the health needs, healthcare, and delivery of the care. Interacting with a patient, the main task for me is to recognize his or her health needs to address them appropriately. The health care needs of patients are as diverse as patients themselves. As a result, I need to focus on the state of the patient’s physical and emotional health. When I can recognize the health needs, I feel confident to determine the care that is necessary for this person. This health care needs to be of high quality and appropriate for the concrete case. However, my primary task is to address the health needs of the patient as quickly as possible; therefore, the main focus is on the time necessary for the care delivery. I work to perform tasks most efficiently, believing that this approach will enable me to help many persons. The Nursing paradigm provides the core for my philosophy, and I pay attention to such elements as the nursing diagnosis, the nursing treatment plan, and the nursing evidence-based practice. I am responsible for assessing the patients’ states and providing specific nursing diagnoses. The next step is the development of the treatment plan. Still, the development of an effective treatment plan or the provision of nursing services is almost impossible without using the principles of evidence-based practice. I am sure that nurses are required to act referring to the existing evidence in the field. As a result, nurses are expected to improve their knowledge and develop skills continuously. When I speak about the personal philosophy of nursing, I usually mean the focus on the Client paradigm that has such connected elements as the recipient, uniqueness, and individualized care. As a nurse, I perceive a patient as a recipient of the provided care that has his or her own needs, values, and expectations. Therefore, I focus on respecting the uniqueness of this patient while understanding that each person needs to be treated individually. In addition, I choose to provide individualized care while addressing the concret
During a crisis or an emergency, different departments and organizations are involved in the response process. However, the interdepartmental and inter-organizational aspect implies that people will have varied decision-making capabilities and approaches. Unfortunately, the involved parties cannot access each other’s information systems, and thus, one individual, department, or organization is not aware of the others’ needs. Therefore, critical thinking plays a crucial role in the success of the response to emergencies. The first step towards improving critical thinking in emergency management involves building situation awareness of the crisis. This aspect requires all the involved parties to understand the nature of the crisis that they are handling. In addition, all participants should be aware of all the other involved parties in managing the situation together with their interests. The next step involves enhancing communication within and amongst teams (Schraagen and van de Ven 314). Efficient communication allows individuals and teams to share crucial information concerning the crisis at hand. In essence, communication forms the backbone of any efficient critical thinking in emergency management. Efficient communication allows the involved parties to avoid tunnel vision and biased information within and amongst teams. In addition, with proper communication, individuals get precise details of the communicated information, which enhances decision-making during an emergency. Moreover, individuals can enhance critical thinking by seeing beyond the decisions arrived at in a bid to establish the motive underlining some actions coupled with the repercussions, both long-term and short term, of the same. Being proactive and thus anticipating circumstances, which leads to the formulation and assessment of alternative solutions, also fosters critical thinking (“Georgetown University” par. 4). Finally, knowing the rules, regulations, laws, and ethics that govern emergency response improves one’s capability to make critical decisions during such times.

Some people think that the text can be read in the same manner as intended by the author no matter what techniques he/she uses to communicate the main idea. However, different literary means are used exactly to make the text more appropriate for reading silently or performing on the stage, or in the form of video cameras. In this respect, written language has its benefits as well as the oral speech when intonation and melody enable the performer to introduce the position with no ambiguity. Variety of meanings interpreted through the tone of the poem as well as though its irony, ambiguity, and undecidability make the author a genius of poetic style. Though some authors tend to use simple literary language, they can fail to make their characters as vivid as they are supposed to be or as they are presented by Tennyson. No matter what an actor does, the image will never become alive on the stage if it is lifeless on the paper. For instance, it is easier to imagine how Ulysses calls his comrades “Come, my friends…” (Tennyson 56) to join him in the new adventure than to imagine how he would call them if this was an ordinary description of how the ruler propagates some news to his people. Thus, every author tries to convey the meaning through descriptions, narration, explanations, monologues, and comments given to certain paragraphs to facilitate a reader’s understanding of the main idea. Nevertheless, some authors manage to communicate the main idea of their work using only literary means such as tone, irony, ambiguity, and undecidability as in the lines that interpret Ulysses’ desire to acquire knowledge: “And this gray spirit yearning in desire/ To follow knowledge like a sinking star,/ Beyond the utmost bound of human thought” (30-32). The poem “Ulysses” written by Lord Alfred Tennyson can be considered one of the most complicated works of literature to read and comprehend because it contains many expressions that can be understood in different ways resulting in misconception. In other words, ambiguity is one of the most prominent features of the poem that makes this work interesting for people in different periods of time. Contemporary scientists and researchers try to analyse the poem in terms of direct and hidden meanings created with the help of literary means such as ambiguity, tone, undecidability, and irony. The poem “Ulysses” and its tone are integral parts of a single piece of literature. If you can read the poem using a specific tone, this means that an author has done a great job while creating characters, a narrator, and appropriate setting for the story. As suggested by Furniss and Bath, tone in speech and tone in writing have a number of distinctive features and can be easily differentiated (241-242). This study also contains explanation of features typical of tone in oral speech such as voice used by the
Recently, I have watched Tom Hooper’s adapted version of the famous musical Les Miserables produced and distributed by Universal Pictures. The world premiere of Les Miserables took place at Leicester Square, London, in 2012 and became increasingly popular among Hugo’s admirers (Hooper). The film lasts for 158 minutes, including three acts divided into multiple scenes. Notably, the film received numerous prestigious awards such as BAFTA and Golden Globe and received favorable reviews (Hooper). This paper aims to provide the overall impression of the play based on Aristotle’s six elements of tragedy. In Les Miserables , Hooper managed to portray the story of Jean Valjean, a former prisoner who has spent 19 years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread. He breaks parole to transform his life and gets hunted by a policeman named Javert. After a release, the criminal eventually reforms to become a prosperous industrialist and mayor. Hugh Jackman, starring as the ex-prisoner Jean Valjean and Russell Crowe’s character Javert play significant roles in the film. Their heroes’ storylines remain constant throughout the 17 years of the film’s plot, during which Valjean develops as a personality, while Javert’s inflexibility is his distinctive feature. Notably, both actors played their parts incredibly, highlighting their characters’ best and worst traits. The central theme presented in Hooper’s version of Les Miserables is concerned with the social issues of urban France, the country showing all the best and the worst qualities of humanity. Besides, the director concentrated on the redemptive power of love and faith portrayed through Valjean’s acts of atonement throughout the movie. The play’s diction presented a delicate combination of music, lyrics, and dialogues in between performances. The everyday agenda embodied in the songs allowed for deeper feelings to be expressed. Play’s language seemed not sophisticated, rather adapted to the modern English standards. All emotions in the film were conveyed entirely in the songs performed live on set. Hooper’s commitment to live performance added much stress onset; yet, it allowed for accurate perception of characters’ feelings. The vocal performances provided an extra vibrancy and spontaneity that was palpable. Besides, composer Claude-Michel Schoenberg created additional music for specific scenes, including the battles. Remarkably, the costume designer Paco Delgado’s worked on more than two thousand costumes. His approach to each character’s traits helped create sophisticated costume designs. Indeed, technical artists’ work paid off since they could recreate specific streets of Paris and convey the French atmosphere of the 19th century. In conclusion, Hooper’s version of Les Miserables is increasingly popular due to the production team’s work. To my mind, the director, actors, music composer, designer, and other crew members have successfully managed to create a masterpiece. Reference Les Miserables. Directed by Tom Hooper, performance by Hugh Jackman, Universal Pictures, 2012.
The focal point of Hunt’s painting to Tennyson’s poem “The Lady of Shalott” is the Lady herself, whose body is tied by the threads that continue to whirl up to not let her go. The viewer’s eye notices the Lady’s inner conflict, which is tracked through the pose she has taken. Although the woman’s body bends as she tries to break free, her head seems to have already accepted the fate and, thus, bows remorsefully. The directional force makes a viewer switch attention from the Lady’s figure to a large loom, a place where she has spent most of her time weaving. It is seen that the loom also traps her inside of its circle. As one continues viewing the composition, the invisible path, paved by the painter, leads an eye to the mirror in the background. The mirror itself is a symbol of the Lady’s downfall. One may trace a premonition of catastrophe in its reflection: unwitting Lancelot heads towards the distant Camelot. In this illustration, Hunt refers to typological symbolism to explain the message of the picture. By adding such an element, the artist attempted to provide a deeper definition of the key concept of the illustration and, thus, unveil all of the sides of the Lady’s conflict. In addition to the earlier mentioned details, there is one more relevant symbol to find in this picture – the figure of Christ on the cross, located next to the mirror. Eventually, Hunt added it intentionally to demonstrate God’s plans and his will regarding the matter. Again, this deep moral message is what the artist attempted to carry to the public – the fact that there is always a conflict between the good and the evil, the right and the wrong within a person.
Emergency Medical Demand Distribution A big percentage of major cities across the globe have Emergency Medical Services (EMS) that comprise pre-hospital medical care and transfer to health amenities like hospitals (Sariyer et al. 2017). The high demand for pre-hospital care has contributed to EMS organizations encountering significant problems attributed to delayed compensation for their services (Ostermayer et al. 2017). A study by the National Emergency Medical Services Information System (NEMSIS) found that EMS services are highly sought after in the United States. As per the report, EMS agencies serve at least 17.4 million people annually (Crowe et al. 2018). Further, investigations carried out in Victoria, Australia (Lowthian et al. 2011) and New York (Smith et al. 2016) discovered that the demand for EMS services continues to grow significantly. Apart from issues associated with the delayed payment for services delivered (Ostermayer et al. 2017); EMS organizations also encounter problems in recruiting suitable employees and sustaining their operations (Cortez et al. 2017). These compounded challenges have made it difficult for EMS firms to satisfy the ever-growing demand for their services. Researchers have conducted studies to determine approaches that EMS agencies can utilize to reduce response time. Some investigators have evaluated how leveraging allocation and location can enhance efficiency. Others have the opinion that having clear knowledge of the total population of a given city can aid in improving response time by EMS companies (Maghfiroh, Hossain & Hanaoka 2017; Saba, Noor & Malik 2017; Shavidze et al. 2016). Systematic appraisal of the existing literature showed that most scholars have not used the time of the day to examine the demand allocation trend. Instead, many researchers have relied on the day of the week as the primary variable for explaining the prevailing pattern of demand distribution (Cantwell et al. 2013; Cantwell et al. 2015). Moreover, limited literature has graphically portrayed the general inclination of the daily demand for EMS services. Currently, there is scarce data that depicts the graphical distribution of EMS demand by the day of the week as highlighted by Cortez et al. (2017). One of the researchers has used information about the number of calls that an emergency center, situated in a certain area, receives in a specified duration to address the problems attributed to delayed response (Sariyer et al. 2017). Hence, it is imperative to preserve and utilize existing information. This research sought to establish the state of allocation of emergency medical services in Izmir, Turkey. The investigator used various variables, including location features, week, day, and time to classify medical cases (Sariyer et al. 2017). The study found variations in need of EMS services depending on the day of the week and the time of the day. The investigator found that EMS organizations were busy at night throughout weekends. In the course of the week, th
The environment is made up of the living and non-living things that are involved in complex interactions. The culture where individuals inhabit and the institutions in which they interact in is known as the social environment. Environmental injustice is the process by which humans and other living things contribute negatively to their surroundings. Humans have done a lot of injustice by their way of living. Many activities that have led to the harm of the environment include economic activities, social-cultural activities, agricultural, and human activities. Economic activities have negatively contributed to the environment, hence doing a lot of injustice. The industry companies that are used in the manufacturing of good and products have done damage to the natural recourses. These companies require many raw materials, which are provided by the natural environment thus putting strain and pressure to the natural environment. This has resulted to unsustainable development because the raw materials are used at a faster rate than they can be replaced. For example, industries that manufacture paper and books get their raw materials from trees (Bell, 42). This has led to the rapid cutting of trees, thus augmenting deforestation. These industries use harmful chemicals that are toxic and dangerous; some of these industries do not have a proper channel of disposing their wastes. Owing to this, many industries end up disposing their waste into rivers and other natural resources thus affecting the environment negatively. The fumes emanated from these industries are hazardous and they affect the atmosphere, thus destroying the ozone layer. Most of these fumes are acidic and habitually contribute to acidic rain, which affects vegetation, thus affecting the environment negatively. Another economic activity that has violated the justice of the environment is fishing. The populace that depends on fish for income and food are depleting the product. This has led to overfishing, hence putting strain and pressure on fish. Eventually there is unsustainable development of fish as a natural resource because it is utilized at a faster rate than it is reproduced. Agricultural activities have really affected the environment negatively. Many people are clearing forests for cultivation, which has resulted to deforestation. Deforestation has led to accumulation of carbon dioxide hence contribution to global warming. Agriculture uses fertilizers, which contains acids; this has led to raise of Ph in the soil thus killing important microorganisms that are used in breakdown of soil. These fertilizers have caused eutrophication in water bodies especially in the rivers thus endangering the aquatic life. Human activities that do injustice to the environment include mining, timbering, and poaching. Mining has affected the environment negatively because of t
The Cask of Amontillado is one of the best known works of Edgar Allan Poe. This is a tale woven together through the use of lies and smooth words coming out from its main character and narrator. The short story is interesting in the sense that all the information about the characters and the events that transpired that day came only from one source (Poe, p.1). Without remorse Montressor recounted how he deceived his friend Fortunato and led him to a trap that would kill him. It is therefore fitting to use characterization as an element to support the theme of betrayal. The theme of the story is betrayal. Montressor said that he was a friend of Fortunato and yet he plotted his murder. The elaborate scheme was revealed by the murderer himself when he gave away clues as to how he has planned the event beforehand and that it was not spontaneous act. Betrayal is the theme most evident in the story because Montressor was able to deceive his friend Fortunato. He played on his weakness. The pride of Fortunato was his downfall but it could never have been exploited until Montressor played the part of a good friend. Fortunato was an unsuspecting prey led to a deadly trap. The betrayal was perfectly set-up because of the personal qualities of Montressor. This is why Edgar Allan Poe’s characterization is the most important element of this short story. Without the brilliant characterization of Montressor the story cannot stand on its own and the readers would not be convinced that a betrayal of such magnitude is pos
