News Analysis

This article via Caren Bohan is entitled â€Å"Clinton, Obama get ready for the fight to come in Wisconsin.† The newsworthiness of the piece has been dictated by the way that it quickly concerns the American individuals. It additionally includes proximate issues that have to do with the up-coming presidential races and is worried about the choice of the two people who will compete for the administration later in this year. The contention level of the circumstance is high. Hilary Clinton, who had been in the number one spot for the equitable nomination, has now lost that lead as Obama has as of late won in eight states in succession (Bohan 2008). The story, found on a Canadian site (Canada.com) is set on the planet news segment as a high-need story. This has been controlled by the way that as a nearby neighbor who shares an outskirt, the political news that exceptionally concerns United States residents is additionally of incredible worry to the perusers of this news site. The feature is clear and to the point, delineating decisively the following stage in the fight between the two competitors. The picture of Barack Obama is found inside the article, and is very much put at the top. Another picture, one of Hilary Clinton, is additionally promptly open by tapping on joins related with â€Å"more pictures† (Bohan, 2008). The candidates’ business in Wisconsin is given in detail, yet just Hilary Clinton is carefully cited in the article, as it was demonstrated that Obama attempted to evade the press. Be that as it may, citations are given concerning Obama’s business as recognized by his representative Bill Burton. The general effect of the story is that Obama’s ubiquity in the United States is reinforcing, leaving Hilary Clinton feeling compromised. The journalists allude to her unequivocally engaging for the assistance of a portion of her supporters, and suggest that her announcement â€Å"I’m feeling great today† speaks to a camouflage of her nervousness. Since this popularity based race speaks to a significant political occasion, it tends to be seen that care is taken to give inside and out examination of the candidates’ positions and what that may mean for their possibilities. The story likewise had an eye to the future, with expectations made (or proposed) about up-coming and related political occasions. This exhibits the effect that the result of this significant political occasion is probably going to have on the fate of America.

Justins Journey Med Student Blogger Interview

Justin Rieth Next up in our series of featured med school bloggers is Justin, a rising first year med student and the author of the blog, My Pre-Medical Transformation. Enjoy Justins thoughtful answers and use them to help you make your way through the med school admissions process. Accepted: First, can you tell us a little about yourself – where are you from, where did you go to  school and when did you graduate; and what prior degrees do you hold? Justin: My name is Justin Rieth, and I was born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I  graduated from Hope College in  2007  with degrees in Physics and Spanish with  a Math minor. After deciding to pursue a career as a doctor, I went back to  school for the premed requirements and ended up adding a Chemistry major in  the process. I will be starting my first year of med school in the fall of 2012  Ã¢â‚¬â€œ hopefully  graduating in the class of  2016! Accepted: Why did you decide to pursue medicine at this stage in your life? Justin: Get comfortable – this is a doozy of a question for me!  Believe it or not, when I was an undergraduate student (the  first  time around) I  thought you couldnt be a doctor without being a premed major. During my junior year  I had a significant experience involving a staff member on  campus with whom I was on a first-name basis.  One day I stopped in to say hello and found her sitting in her office chair alone, wracked by an intense, full-body seizure. She had no control of her muscles and could only  speak enough to grunt out, N-N-N-NEED S-S-S-SUGAR. I sprinted back into the  hall where there were other students and started shouting at the top of my  lungs,  Everyone, LISTEN! Anyone with anything sugary – juice, pop, ANYTHING I need you to bring it here  right now, theres a woman having a seizure!  I ran back into her office with a  few other students, helping her gulp down apple juice and orange pop as  quickly as students could bring it. When we started to run out, I began directing others to get more from the vending machine in the hallway. The seizures subsided after several minutes and everything turned out just fine. However, in that moment I saw something in myself that I hadnt seen before: an ability to effectively take control and direct a situation for the good of someone in need. I began to seek out experiences in the healthcare environment even though I thought it was too late for me to become a doctor. I obtained a six-month internship shadowing Spanish-English medical interpreters at the local hospital, and couldnt help but think as I watched the doctors,  I think I could do that – and I wouldnt need an interpreter. I could interact directly with the patients  At the time though, I just wanted to do what I could, and that meant pursuing a job as an interpreter. After college, I worked for a time as a medical interpreter in a gynecologists office, but for financial reasons soon had to leave that position for a full-time position in Human Resources with a local company. It wasnt until two years later that I got married and learned from my wife (whose brother-in-law had been a non-traditional medical school applicant and was then in his residency) that you could go back and get the credits necessary for medical school  without being a premed major first! I knew that I wouldnt be satisfied with a regular desk job, and I couldnt see myself pursuing graduate school for Physics or Spanish. I knew from loads of volunteer experience teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) classes that I love working with and helping people, but I knew from my research experience in Nuclear Physics that I love using my analytical and scientific abilities to solve problems and learn new things. In the end, I decided to pursue medicine because theres no other career that I could see as even coming close in terms of a potential for personal satisfaction. It was, hands down, the absolute best thing I could do with my life. Everything I want from a career – helping and working with people, using science, constantly learning new things, and using my foreign language abilities – can be found in abundance in a career as a doctor. Accepted: How many med schools did you apply to? Why did you choose Michigan State Universitys  College of Human Medicine? Justin: I applied to fifteen different schools, but from very early in the process MSU CHM was my top choice.  One of the most attractive attributes of MSU CHM was their strong belief in a patient-centered view of medicine. They teach students to view patients not just as sick people, but as people with  unique backgrounds, cultures, and family histories. MSU CHM believes so strongly in this approach that they have designed their entire curriculum around it. For the third and fourth years (the clinical years) students attend one of six different clinical campuses around the state. The clinical campuses are set up to serve the unique populations in their area, and students are taught that understanding where a patient comes from and how they think is just as important as understanding the biochemistry of their illness. The more I learned about MSU CHM, the more I wanted to be there. Theres also the cooperative nature of the students. Before the semester even began, our class formed a Facebook group to start getting to know each other. A member of the class ahead of ours contacted our group through Facebook and shared a public Dropbox account absolutely  loaded  with materials from the previous year. Study guides, outlines, tips and tricks, you name it, it was all in there. They had received a similar package from the class ahead of them and had added to it throughout their year, passing everything along to us out of a wholehearted desire to help. In case you dont know, this is not an incredibly common thing in medical schools. Too often, the med school atmosphere is one of ruthless competition. Fortunately, this is not the case at MSU CHM.   Accepted: Do you have any advice for our med school applicants? Justin: Always, always, ALWAYS keep in mind your reasons for applying to med school. The application process is extremely arduous, but its by design. We dont want doctors who are in it for the wrong reasons. We want individuals who truly care, deep down, about the  why  behind the what  of practicing medicine. When you are sick of reviewing for the MCAT, take a break and really think about why youre studying so hard and taking practice tests on Saturday mornings for months on end. When you get discouraged about how long it takes just to apply to med school, know that theres nothing wrong with you. Absolutely everyone feels this way at some point; its completely normal! Just do your best to muscle through, and make sure you take breaks. Theres no use in burning yourself out before you even start med school. Keep your head down, and youll be starting med school before you know it Accepted: Why did you decide to start blogging?   Justin: I started blogging out of a personal desire to have something to look back at to help me remember the process and my motivation during the various stages. As depicted in the title of my blog, the process of becoming a doctor is a very unique kind of transformation. No other career changes you as profoundly as does a career in medicine. Unfortunately, all too often you hear of doctors losing motivation, becoming disenchanted with their profession and the work that they do. I am not so naive as to believe that this will never, ever happen to me, so I wanted to do what I could to forestall this effect. I wanted to start writing down my thoughts along the way, recording my life as I went so that I could look back on the posts and  remember.   Over time, the blogging thing became a way to connect with other people going through the same thing. It also became a way to help friends and loved ones stay up to date on my life, as the whole working full-time while going to school in the mornings and volunteering at night deal tends to get pretty busy. Lastly, as I gradually became someone who had some answers instead of just questions, it became a way for me to help other students coming after me in the process. Ive been able to answer countless questions (many of which were questions that I had when I was just starting this process) from people that wouldnt have found me if it werent for the blog. Accepted: Can you give us some info on your store? What do you sell and how successful have you  been? Justin: When I started studying for the MCAT, I had no clue how to do it. There was so much information in so many subjects, many of which I hadnt touched in five or more years, I didnt even know where to start. I didnt have the time or the money to take an MCAT review course. My life was so busy, I was constantly having to study on the go. I ended up using an iPad to keep track of everything, and it worked great. While preparing for the MCAT, I searched all over for quality, affordable digital flashcards that I could take with me and study on the iPad. I couldnt carry around thousands of paper flashcards everywhere I went, and the quality of what I found already available for the iPad left me wanting. As I read books, studied old quizzes, and reviewed old class notes, I took new notes and created 3,499 digital flashcards in Biology, Physics, Inorganic Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry. My cards are designed to be used with the Mental Case software for the iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, and Mac OS X. I used them in conjunction with study books and practice tests to prepare for the MCAT, raising my practice score by eight points over a few months before taking the actual test. After using my cards to get into med school, I decided to make them available to other students by selling them through my blog. I did everything I could to keep the price low. Even though I would have gladly paid $50 for the quantity and quality of what I created, I knew that not every student would be able to afford that. I currently sell my cards for $5 per subject, or $17 for all 3,499 cards. This works out to a price of $0.0049 per card, many of which include hand-drawn (and scanned) or digitally-drawn diagrams and reactions. In terms of success, more students have already downloaded and used my cards than I ever would have imagined. Ive received great feedback from users so far. Its incredibly encouraging to hear positive things from people who have been helped by what I created. I expect the cards to continue to help premed students for a long time to come, and I plan on adding the cards that I create during med school to the store as well. Hopefully, future students will find them every bit as beneficial as I have. Do you want to be featured in Accepted.coms blog, Accepted Admissions Blog?

Stakeholder Analysis The Fox School Of Business Of...

Stakeholder Analysis An area that has received ample criticism has been educational business institutions, specifically MBA’s, having too much emphasis on profit maximization and bottom-line that benefit stockholders rather stakeholders. With the economy in a frenzy and so many financial firms in free fall, analysts, and even educators, wonder if the way business students are taught may have contributed to the economic crisis (Holland 2009). With all the accusations being made about the legitimacy of business schools, the Fox School of Business of Temple University, must be sure to keep all of its important and influential stakeholders as one of their top priorities. A stakeholder is an individual or group that is affected by the actions of a business. Being a stakeholder can happen by choosing such as, becoming an employee of a business, or by chance such as, living in the same municipal as another business that has an impact on the community. In general, a person or busines s has a stake in something because of interest, right or ownership of it. As the Fox School of Business must have hundreds of stakeholders, the following is a general list of major stakeholders. The Board of Directors is the group of members who jointly oversee the activities of the Fox Business School. This board holds the power of final authorizations of policies and governance the university stands by.

402C-2: MARKETING METRICS INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT 1 Submitted to: Professor Rakesh Niraj Submitted by: Amber Shukla Case Western Reserve University Summer 2015 1. (a) Marketers should become data driven because: †¢ To know the impact of marketing investment: With the help of an accurate data, one can predict the output or significant and measurable performance impact in future of marketing investments made today. This helps in predicting whether the marketing plan is worth investing in or not and can save millions of dollars for a company. †¢ How much marketing investment to make: If the predicted financial revenues of the marketing plan is known, one can decide the maximum budget or investment to make in the plan. †¢ To formulate a†¦show more content†¦Also, if there is a lack of data due to privacy concerns, it is again a big challenge for the marketers to measure the efficacy of what they do. To face this obstacle, B2B companies need to educate the value partners derive from sharing data, as also protecting the identity of customers when channel partners share their data. Loyalty programs or web based portals, surveys and focus groups as a means to provide incentives for customers can be an honest way forward. †¢ Lack of Infrastructure to do data driven marketing: There are specialized tools and softwares to analyze big data which can be expensive. Also, skilled manpower is required to play and make sense of such big data. So, at times, companies have to invest a lot in terms of money and time to become data driven. To face this obstacle, advance campaign planning is required. MS Excel and SAS JMP can be useful to start. For current purchases, real-time analysis would be required. †¢ People and Change: Cultural resistance to change as a need to incentivize these initiatives is a way forward to effective change management.

Review Of Extraordinary Conditions Culture And...

Janis Jenkins’ Extraordinary Conditions: Culture and Experience in Mental Illness focuses on mental illness in a holistic context. She discusses the importance of studying it as a â€Å"social, economic, and political conditions of adversity that pose threats to social and psychic integrating, mental health, and well-being...† (Jenkins 12). She calls these factors spectrums of mental illness. Jenkins categorizes aspects of mental illness into numerous themes: â€Å"...bodily sensation, toxicity, clarity, and velocity of thought, balance, control, discipline, identity, normality, and daily life† (Jenkins 58). Her belief is that all of these factors are woven together to make up the subjective definition of mental illness. My argument is that although these factors are intertwined, all of them are not equally important. I believe control is the most important factor in analyzing and treating mental illness. Patients will not experience successful treatment if they feel as if they cannot take control of their disease, or feel like the disease is controlling them. Jenkins interviews many patients regarding their mental illnesses and most of their responses touch upon feeling a loss of control on some level. Without a feeling of self or situational control, treatment will not be successful, and researchers will have a harder time understanding how patients are feeling when they describe their experiences. Patients want to get better and improve their condition, but if they do not feel likeShow MoreRelatedHuman Health And Coping Styles Of Migrant And Non Migrant Women1423 Words   |  6 PagesMigration is a complex phenomena in which a person is moved forcibly from his home to some remote place leading to unprecedented changes in his physical and mental health.

Physics Of A Microwave Oven - 1480 Words

Physics of a Microwave Southeast Missouri State University PH106-01 Instructor: Dr. Jian Peng Submitted By: Natalie Gladbach The microwave, also known as a microwave oven, was seemingly a breakthrough in technology in the early 1940’s that allowed whole meals to be prepared in minutes. The idea of the microwave was created by a man named Percy Spencer. Mr. Spencer developed the plans based on radar technology breakthroughs from World War II. The microwave was originally named the Radarange and first hit store fronts in 1946. The Radarange did not sell to well as they were rather large and bulky for regular home use. In 1955 a company known as Tappan created a new version but even that version was too big and expensive. In 1967 the Amana Corporation introduced the first countertop microwave oven and since the microwave has become the most used kitchen appliance in the world. The Microwave oven is known to heat or reheat previously cooked foods by exposing the food to microwave radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum. This activates polar molecules in the food to rotat e and produce thermal energy. This is a process known as dielectric heating. Consequently, the food is heated quickly and efficiently. Food that is spread out and has higher water content will cook faster and more thoroughly than food which is denser. In order for food to be cooked in a microwave oven, microwaves must pass through the food. Thus, the name microwave. Microwaves are electromagneticShow MoreRelatedThe Microwave Oven Is More Than Just For Cooking Foods1355 Words   |  6 PagesThe microwave oven is much more than just for cooking foods. This paper will briefly discuss the history and technologies as byproduct since the microwaves oven’s accidental invention by Percy Spencer while briefly illuminating some of the subsequent advancements and future concepts or applications of the microwave use in navigational, medicinal and in wireless communications. The Microwave oven has become such an integral part of our lives that we hardly notice its presence. The microwave quietlyRead MorePhysics of Microwaves Essay981 Words   |  4 Pages Physics of Microwaves Microwaves are used in our everyday lives but most most people dont realize that physics plays a large and important part in the simple household item. Whenever we heat our food we are oblivious to the forces that cause such a thing to occur and we dont fully understand what happens in front of our eyes and how our food really gets heated in such a simple and efficient way. The first thing people need to understand is that microwaves are actually electromagnetic wavesRead MoreEffects Of Microwave Radiation On Plant Growth1598 Words   |  7 PagesEffects of Microwave Radiation on Plant Growth It is a known fact that immense levels of radiation influence not only the ways organisms function, but also the way they grow and live their lives overall. However, when the intensity of radiation is decreased to the point where it is safe to consume foods exposed to it, a question is raised. Can microwave radiation affect the growth and functions of plants? There are many factors that go into the discussion of this question such as what is radiationRead MoreConduction, Convection, and Radiation1525 Words   |  7 PagesConduction, Convection, and Radiation By: Spencer Smith Physics 2010 – Online Dr. Stone 30 April 2014 Physics is a controlling factor in our vast universe. It literally controls how our reality operates and how our existence came to be in this universe, it actually it what made our universe. When you think about physics you probably think about friction and forces but it is a much broader idea. Physics is what controls how the atoms that make up everything work with each other to formRead MorePlain And Simple, We Need Heat1599 Words   |  7 Pages2012). Energy is always transferred from an object with higher temperature to one with lower temperature, and this transference of energy as heat will continue until both of the objects have reached the same temperature. An easy example that most physics books and professors talk about is the ice and the water. The ice melts in the water (transferring energy) until the water has reached the same temperature. On the other hand, there are three common ways of heat transfer: conduction, convection, andRead MoreWhat Factors Affect Am and F m Radio Reception?2078 Words   |  9 Pagesfrequency band. Aim To test if - a TV; a microwave oven in use; a mobile phone making a phone call; a TV remote control; water surrounding the aerial; a thin-metal box; an incandescent light bulb; a fluorescent light bulb – causes interference with AM and FM radio reception. Hypothesis I think that a TV will affect AM reception, but not FM reception, because TV’s will give off electrical pulses which will interfere with AM radio, but not FM. I think that a microwave oven being used next to a radio will affectRead MoreThe Sun Was The Main One Essay963 Words   |  4 Pagescooking at home, has used oven mitts before. Emily knew by wearing oven mitts, you can touch hot objects without getting burnt. 10. The interviewee’s response with examples of energy conversion into heat was concrete. 1. Emily: â€Å"Heat is hot air. Heat can make us warm. Heat can help us cook. It can come from the sun† Emily does not know heat is a form of energy. â€Å"Heat is the flow of energy from a high temperature location to a low temperature location† (The Physics Classroom, 2015). 2.

In this instance the electric motor has an electric current, giving it also this magnetic field. An electric motor converts electricity into mechanical motion. Most electric motors work by electromagnetism, but motors based on electrostatic forces also exist. The overarching concept is that a force is generated when a current-carryingRead MoreWireless Technologies1097 Words   |  5 Pagesproducts has increased as new applications for the technology are realized.

In 1900 it became the 3rd largest producer of light-bulb in Europe and in 1912 Philips was incorporated. The company didn’t opt for diversification and was the leader in industrial research; it had physics and chemistry labs which were basically meant for the company’s production process. The Lab developed a tungsten filament bulb which was a great success. It came with diverse markets in Japan, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Russia
