Focus Week Diary
Dear Diary,
Today wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, there are lots of
year10's here too, thank god… I would definitely hate it if there was
no one I knew here with me. The hardest part was getting up at 6:30 in
the morning; I hate mornings. I was hoping that this week would be
like a holiday, waking up late, getting to do stuff in the afternoons,
no homework…well so much for no homework, I have to write this English
diary. Asha and I (my perfect grammar!) took the no. 40 bus to Times
Square, we were early getting there, but we had to wait for Kate and
ended up being late anyways.
First thing after our lecture from Ms Wathall about how being on time
is very important, we had an introduction talk from this
Californiafitness guy (I forgot his name already, opps), basically all
we were told was to be sensible on the equipment, and to 'be safe you
must be smart'. Such a cliché, everything we do now days commences
with a lecture about safety. I don't know why they bother; all it does
is to give people ideas about ways to get into trouble…Well we were
put into four groups; mine is called 'Female Pride'. The name was
Dominic's idea, which is why we all find it hilarious. Every time they
call it out we crack up laughing.
Since Hip Hop was switched to Friday the first thing we had to do was
a Cardio blast YEAY! (not). The idea is to get you heart beating fast.
If you repeat it often enough, and increase the intensity of you
workout your heart should get stronger, and you'll get fitter. We had
to go on the treadmills, X-cross trainer, Stairmaster and bikes. I
actually kept running for 5 minutes, I know it's not that long, but I
hate running so it was quite good, for me anyways.
For lunch time we went to the valley. We were just all messing around
like usual, and then Sam started to try to push Simone in the
Motown paved the way for future artists to explore themselves. It helped created the grounds of a great music and cultural integration in the 1970’s to now and hopefully forever. Hip Hop’s arrival was credit to Motown triumphs in the musical world. Through the mixing of percussion and the rhythm of the drumbeats of funk and disco, hip hop revealed the opposition to social inequality and discrimination

Since the early to mid 90’s, hip-hop has undergone changes that purists would consider degenerating to its culture. At the root of these changes is what has been called “commercial hip-hop". Commercial hip-hop has deteriorated what so many emcees in the 80’s tried to build- a culture of music, dance, creativity, and artistry that would give people not only something to bob their head to, but also an avenue to express themselves and deliver a positive message to their surroundings.
Hip hop is both a culture and a lifestyle. As a musical genre it is characterized by its hard hitting beats and rhythms and expressive spoken word lyrics that address topics ranging from economic disparity and inequality, to gun violence and gang affiliated activity. Though the genre emerged with greater popularity in the 1970’s, the musical elements involved and utilized have been around for many years. In this paper, we will cover the history and
Safety is a primary concern in the health care environment, but there are still many preventable errors that occur. In fact, a study from ProPublica in 2013 found that between 210,000 and 440,000 patients each year suffer preventable harm in the hospital (Allen, 2013). Safety in the healthcare environment is not only keeping the patient safe, but also the employee. If a nurse does not follow procedure, they could bring harm to themselves, the patient, or both. Although it seems like such a simple topic with a simple solution, there are several components to what safety really entails. Health care professionals must always be cautious to prevent any mishaps to their patients, especially when using machines or lifting objects, as it has a higher

Behaviors to Improve Patient Safety. There are five behaviors in which I, as a health care professional, can practice in order to improve safety for patients in my direct care. These include following written safety protocols, speak up when you have concerns, communicate clearly, don’t let yourself get careless, and take care of yourself. By adhering to simple, basic protocols such as hand washing you can be a key player in reducing the spread of infection to your patients and thus, keeping your patients safe. As a healthcare professional you must be an advocate for your patients and their safety by reporting unsafe working conditions, close calls, and adverse events.
Patient safety one of the driving forces of healthcare. Patient safety is defined as, “ the absence of preventable harm to a patient during the process of healthcare or as the prevention of errors and adverse events caused by the provision of healthcare rather than the patient’s underlying disease process. (Kangasniemi, Vaismoradi, Jasper, &Turunen, 2013)”. It was just as important in the past as it is day. Our healthcare field continues to strive to make improvement toward safer care for patients across the country.

Everyone has privileges and accountabilities when it comes to safety. However, these privileges and accountabilities can vary depending on who you are, where you are at, and what situation you are involved in. So many individuals do not consider the dangers of something before they do it. It is crucial that people start to put safety before anything else in order to avoid getting hurt.
Precaution has been present at the core of public health safety for centuries, and the precautionary principle is undeniably connected to performing under doubt, which is a common situation in these days.

It’s true what everyone talks about safety – you are the key to your safety, when you do it safely you do it the right way and the best gift you can give to your family is to always stay safe. We have been taught by our parents and teachers to be cautious while doing a number of things. That’s very essential in our daily lives, because one needs to be extra cautious to prevent unavoidable accidents. However, mishaps do happen everywhere in the safest of places, no matter how careful we are in our actions. It is highly unpredictable, what’s going to happen the very next instant.
