Introduction In accordance to the U.S. Postal Service, there were almost ten million cases of identity theft in the United States in 2004 at a cost of $5 billion to customers. People worry that someone will put together charges on their credit card or swindle their bank account while people do not take care of the safety of their identity. There is a serious reason to worry. All a thief requires is the Social Security number to entrust identity theft. This crime is comparatively simple to entrust, but inspecting and impeaching it is compound and time-consuming. But once one knows the facts and some defensive undertakings one can take, one is able to win the fight against identity theft In order to avoid it, people should always undertake some steps to defend themselves from Identity Theft. Protecting oneself does not have to be a time-consuming assignment. But people just need to follow some rules. The risk of having the identity stolen MySpace and Facebook are extremely popular websites that lots of people use to contact one another. Nevertheless, these can also be a “recreational area” for identity theft offenders. The personal data that people share on MySpace and Facebook is often amazing. People regard nothing to sharing their names, birthdays, and other individual data, yet it is noticeable for the entire world to see. If it is wondering somebody how MySpace can put one at risk for individuality theft, it is necessary to mention, that it is not so much the website itself, it’s the data one shares on one’s own blog friends’ blogs already put one under risk. The example may be the following: imagine that someone has not seen his or her friend for some time, and finding this friend in the social net puts alike comment “Hey, I’ll undeniably drop to you after I get home, as I haven’t seen your forages. Now, it’s off to the Caribbean for a week. C ya!” The data provided with this message is significant enough for any identity theft. He or she now possesses the data that the person will not be home and that the mailbox will probably be left unchecked for at least a week. And the criminal even does not have to know the place where the person lives. Even people do not provide their addresses directly, they fill out the town they live in as part of the user profile and everyone has the friends list achievable to attendees who come to the user’s page, he can undoubtedly put the data together in as little as five minutes. Theft can collect bits of data from the remarks on the page and the comments on the friends’ pages to get to know the necessary address. In case one has never heard of the term ‘phishing’; it essentially includes an experience
Introduction to the poet and the poem Lauren Nicole Nixon, an Austin based arts teacher and a poet, can be considered a modern poet whose themes surround contemporary issues in the American society. Nixon obtained her masters degree in Arts and Politics from the Tisch School of Arts, University of New York. In this poem, the narrator (probably Nixon herself) explains how she experienced a humiliating moment in which she was mistaken for Dominique Dawes, a renowned American artistic gymnast, Olympian and retired world championship silver medalist. Nixon has shown the ability to apply various poetic techniques to communicate her message and themes to the audience with success. The purpose of this paper is to develop an in-depth analysis of Nixon’s poem in order to show how different poetic techniques are applied to effectively communicate the poet’s message. Analysis of the Poem Imagery By definition, imagery is the comparison between an object that is not necessarily there with an object or subject that is actually there (Kirszner and Mandell 37). The purpose is normally to create a mind of comparison to the intended audience so that they obtain a more meaningful experience (Myers and Wukasch 43). Nixon has based her poem primarily on imagery. The main theme in the poem regards the experience the narrator had, twice, when mistaken for a sports celebrity and the humiliation she experienced. She has used similes and metaphors to develop a comparison between her and the celebrity Dominique Dawes. For instance, in the first stanza, the poet says, “at the time my cheekbones curved and peaked like an apple” (Nixon 1). The word ‘like’ is actually a simile that provides a comparison between what is there (curved cheekbones) and what is not there (the swoop of an apple). In the third stanza, Nixon says ‘I will step outside my body like a spirit…’ and continues ‘…while I watch it like a firecracker’ (Nixon 1). Again, the word ‘like’ has twice been used to develop a comparison between an object that is there (stepping outside her body and watching the body respectively) with what is actually not there (the spirit and the firecracker respectively). Tactic imagery has been used in the first stanza, where Nixon describes the experience of the athlete celebrity Dominique Dawes in action as ‘…even when her tendons became ‘swollen’…’ (Nixon 1). By this, the poet seeks to make the audience develop an image of he feelings of touch (swelling) that she would be having if she were Dominique, for whom she was being mistaken. For Nixon, this would actually be a bad experience because unlike Dominique, she does not posses
The third part of the book, “ Seven Pillars of Wisdom” , discusses the expedition against Akaba. The narrator in an expedition regime, begin a journey to Akaba. In this period, Feisal is described as the leader who concentrates authority in Wejh. Unfortunately, this move clearly throws heavy weight of ungratefulness on his back. As reflected by the narrator, their victory is only acceptance of dishonesty in order to acquire good fortune after tricking Turks. Thus, this reflective treatise attempts to comprehensively analyses chapter by chapter in book three of the book “ Seven Pillars of Wisdom” from chapter forty one through to chapter fifty eight. Besides, the treatise attempts to identify events, explain their significance and locate each in its era of occurrence as evidenced by history. In addition, the paper adopts chapter by chapter analysis after which general conclusion is drawn. In chapter forty one, the three friends are off with Auda being the guide. They travel through a harsh terrain and reflect on the magnitude and results what is described as a persistent war. Specifically, the night described in page 240 is very haunting and is a test of true friendship for the three pals. As they sojourn through the desert, the weather pattern is described as dry and characterized by sand and dry mad, mountains and hills coughing hot lava and volcanoes. Unfortunately, the narrator’s beast of the desert: camel gets sick. Condition of the Camel is extensively described throughout the last part of this chapter. Specifically, Lawrence describes this in his narration: The dry pasturage of the Billi country and the infected ground of Wejh had played havoc with our beasts. In ahl Feisal’s stud of riding-camels there was not one healthy; in our little expedition every camel was weakening daily. (Lawrence 243) In chapter forty two, the entourage crosses the railway deep into the expansive desert of Shegg. In the rugged terrain, hot dry winds haunt these sujouners and are much relieved by the onset of nightfall after a long day of agony in the hands of nature. In Lawrence’s narration: We halted the night hours; partly because our camels were weak and ill, and grazing meant much to them, and partly because the Howeitat were not intimate with this country, and feared to lose their way if they should ride too boldly without seeing. (Lawrence 248) A reflection in chapter forty three creates a feeling of hope and appreciation of nature. From camels, Oryx, to ostrich, the narrator appreciates nature and is candid on the flora and fauna of his surroundings. They hunt down these animals for food. La
As opposed to the first industrial revolution which had its focus on the use of energy and muscle, the second industrial revolution did focus more on the use of the brain and information technology (Korten 222). This revolution did have an almost immediate effect on the lives of people. The benefits did not only accrue to the producers but also the consumers and this helped to improve the quality of life. This phase of the industrial revolution is in most cases simply referred to as the (separate) technical revolution. During this period there were extensive innovations that came up in very many industries. The electrical, chemical, petroleum and steel industries formed the major leaders when it came to the second industrial revolution (Adler 431). The major specific advancements included the incorporation of steam turbines that were fired by oil and steel ships that were driven by internal combustion. The development of the aero-plane formed a major advancement in the second industrial revolution. Transport was therefore immensely improved as equally as the standards of living of the people. Other fields that drew a lot of attention was invention of the telephone, the automobile was commercialized, innovation of very varied food preservation techniques like refrigeration and others, perfection of processes involved in canning and mass production of consumer goods. The drift was from mass production and towards quality of what was produced. In essence the desire to have these quality levels did affect the inventions that were coming up. The automatic industry was the subsequent happening of use of machines tools and the computers in the production processes. It is to be noted though that the second industrial revolution happened in different parts of the world at different times. Singapore for example was experiencing it as late as the 1980s. One of the major effects of the second industrial revolution was caused by the societal struggles to obtain class. According to Mantoux (30), there was arise in various classes of people among them the producer royales and state factories who had immense power attributed to them in the social standing. In as much as there was a lot of changes in terms of the institutions that were present; together with the environmental conditions surrounding the changes, the economic play was so relevant and of great magnitude in affecting the social position of people. The extent to which the environment did affect the social lives cannot be compared to the magnitude with which the economics played in influencing the interrelationships in society. Families seemed to predominantly live on the fines they got and even the borrowings that they got. At this time, the feudal landlords got reduced in number for a while. The church and specifically the Catholic Church did have impact on the social lives of the people. According to Foster (24), peasant employers who had multiple problems with control of the social standing did try to take over the churc
Coronary Artery Disease Coronary artery disease has the highest mortality rate in the entire universe. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that the disease resulted in over nine million deaths in the year 2016. A comparison between developed and developing countries shows a big difference in the trends of mortalities caused by CAD. The mortality rates in developed nations as the United Kingdom and the United States of America are decreasing. Regardless of that, according to the American Heart Association organization, in the USA, 16.5 million people who were older than 20 years had developed coronary artery disease and the males accounted for 55%. In developing countries, the situation is worse; mortalities associated with the disease are on an increase. The principal factors in decreasing mortalities are the application of primary and secondary prevention methods against the disease. The former aims at reducing cardiovascular events that pose a high risk for the development of CAD but have no previous history. On the other hand, the latter include treatments directed at preventing further damage to the circulatory system in patients who have been suffering from CAD. CAD is mostly used to outline stenosed coronary arteries that present with symptoms, often referred to as significant or obstructive CAD. Diagnosis of the disease is difficult for patients experiencing acute signs and symptoms. CAD can be diagnosed in patients with severe chest pains if an acute coronary syndrome is confirmed by the use of electrocardiogram and biomarkers even in mild CAD. The most common approach to a suspected case of CAD is performing myocardial stress testing. This test is usually used to keep watch on invasive coronary angiography. Generally, among the population in the world and patients travailing from end-stage renal disease (ESRD), the leading cause of mortality in coronary heart disease. In both populations, the principles used in assessing and managing cardiovascular risks are the same. Subclinical conditions can now be detected early thanks to the advancements in the non-invasive imaging of coronary arteries. Medical therapy of the disease aims at altering the natural course of the disease and refining symptoms of angina. In the ESRD population, coronary revascularization poses an additional risk and benefit equation. In stable ESRD patients with multivessel CAD, coronary bypass surgery is preferred despite the risks of myocardial infarction, stroke, and chest wound infection. For ESRD patients suffering from the acute coronary syndrome, the most effect
Introduction The world is characterized by two major sources of energy. Non renewable energy sources include fossil fuels and coal. Renewable energy sources include hydropower, geothermal, biomass, solar, wind and nuclear energy. The latter form of energy is gaining much popularity for its ability to get replenished again and again. The nuclear energy in particular is becoming one of the major sources of electricity in Japan, Germany, USA, Britain and France (Sorensen, 2004). The high energy outputs realized from nuclear plants has helped mitigate the effects of global warming associated with fossil fuels. Whereas nuclear energy bears several advantages, negative impacts of the energy are inevitable. This paper outlines the negative impacts of nuclear energy in France. Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy refers to the energy derived from the reaction of radioactive elements such as uranium, radium and titanium. The energy realized from nuclear plants is usually a product of fission. Through the process, heat energy is released from the bombardment of the nucleus and the neutrons. Heat energy creates steam used to run electricity producing turbines (Sorensen, 2004).Nuclear reactors may be characterized by nuclear meltdown. Poor cooling of the radioactive material used may affect the containment of the reactor. The result of this phenomenon may be the release of radioactive elements into the surrounding areas. Environmental Impacts Environmental impacts that range from soil to water pollution may be encountered. The pollution may be detrimental to existing flora and fauna. A place experiencing nuclear meltdown may be rendered unsafe for human and animal habitation. Radiation sickness, increased rates of cancer and death are common in areas of nuclear meltdown. To avert nuclear meltdown, nuclear reactor designs include redundant systems. Nuclear waste has a greater probability of causing negative environmental and human impacts. Nuclear waste refers to the products and by products that accrue from the fission process (Sorensen, 2004) .In reality, fission changes the atomic composition of nuclear fuel rods. The resulting compounds are usually radioactive in nature. For instance, the fission of uranium rods yields plutonium. It is held that the radioactivity of plutonium may last for about 240,000 years. On-site storage of nuclear waste at nuclear plants is rampant. Most developed countries have suggested long term, underground storage initiatives. It is impossible to guarantee containment of nuclear waste in transportation conditions or at the underground site (Sorensen, 2004). In France, nuclear waste has been a subject of controversy since 1960. Experiments conducted by the Commission of Atomic Energy (CEA) aimed at ensuring that nuclear waste containers were stored under the Mediterranean Sea (Barthe, 2009). However these attempts caused political mobilization. CEA enjoyed monopolistic rights in nuclear research for a long time,
Introduction For several decades many people relied on myths and traditions in order to understand how language came about and the factors that influenced the speech process. Some people also became more curious to know more about the nature of language and how it came about. It was out of this curiosity that many scientists took their time and resources to establish how communication takes place. A lot of experiments were conducted by many psycholog
Descriptive Data The notion of descriptive statistics is of paramount importance for the public health paradigm, as it provides professionals with the ability to analyze data and introduce new approaches to treatment patterns, professional training, and patient education. Some of the major tools of descriptive statistics may be divided into two groups: measures of central tendency and measures of variation. The former, including mean, median, and mode, is used in order to calculate the common characteristics of a given variable, whereas the latter, comprising variance, standard deviation, and range, aims at describing the extent of variation within the sample. The definitions for the measures presented are as follows:   * Mean = sum of all data points / number of data points;   * Median = the value that’s exactly in the middle when it is ordered from low to high;   * Mode = the most frequent value (Bhandari, 2020a, para. 2).   * Range = the subtraction of the lowest data point from the highest point;   * Variance = the average of squared distances from the mean;   * Standard deviation = average distance of the mean (Bhandari, 2020b, para.2). The major difference between the two types of measures is the fact that in cases when points of data within the variable differ significantly in their primary nomination, the measures of central tendency are not reliable enough to present the data. As far as the data from the National Cancer Institute are concerned, it is necessary to calculate the measures of deviation, as they help identify the patterns of cancer cases from a diachronic perspective, manifesting the difference between the cancer casualties and year of the report. In such a way, the tendencies of cancer incidence rates may be traced and analyzed by public health institutions.

Jeff Henderson’s memoir Cooked: My Journey from the Streets to the Stove describes a person’s struggle to climb the social ladder after the release from prison. To some degree, the book demonstrates that the author’s life after the release proved to be even more excruciating than in prison. In particular, he had to encounter such challenges as lack of trust and racial discrimination which undermined many of his efforts. On the whole, Jeff Henderson had to cope with various difficulties which made his life very frustrating. In particular, many employers had a very prejudiced attitude toward people who were sentenced for an offence. This conviction made them almost ineligible for any kind of job. This problem is familiar to many people who were sentenced to prison (Voorhis 72). This is why Jeff Henderson emphasizes the importance of gaining the trust of managers (Henderson 43). The main issue is that an individual abhors the idea of being at the mercy of others. To a great extent, these attitudes of others demonstrated to him that his criminal record would be as a constant barrier for him. This is one of the problems that the author is forced to encounter. Apart from that, one should not overlook the problem of racism. Many of the managers expected Jeff Henderson to deceive them. This is one of the most widespread racial stereotypes (King 7). This is one of the reasons they were reluctant to deal with him. The author describes their attitudes in the following way, “They had probably never seen anything like me: a black man who could really cook. I think they were expecting some hack” (Henderson 11). The narrator had to prove that his skills had outweighed the suspicions and concerns of employers. Moreover, other workers did not have to face these challenges, especially if they were white. This is one of the points that should be considered. These examples show that Jeff Henderson had to cope with significant difficulties after his release from prison. Much attention should be paid to the prejudiced attitudes of many people focused on Henderson’s criminal record or race, but his skills. This attitude of people can be very frustrating for an individual. These are the main aspects that should be taken into account. Works Cited Henderson, Jeff.
