Leonard Cheshire and The Leonard Cheshire Organization Our class had a talk with Sonia Chapple, the care manager of the Leonard Cheshire West Devon Enabling Scheme to gain more information about how an organisation like this fits into the national framework. In this discussion the following topics were covered-the history of the foundation, hierarchy, funding, demographic characteristics and how the scheme fits into the national framework. Background information on Leonard Cheshire and The Leonard CheshireOrganisation. * Leonard Cheshire was born in Chester in 1917, the son of Geoffrey Cheshire, Professor of Law at Oxford. He was commissioned into the Royal Air Force on the outbreak of World War Two. He was the most decorated bomber pilot in the Royal Air Force and had three Distinguished Service Orders (with two bars), a Distinguished Flying Cross and the Victoria Cross. On his 101st mission over enemy territory, on August 9th 1945, at the age of 27; he became an official observer at the dropping of the second nuclear bomb of the war on the Japanese city of Nagasaki. This was a major turning point in his life and he flew back to Marianas a changed man. From that time on his inner feelings were those of saving lives rather than taking them. In 1959 he married Susan Ryder- the founder of her own charity, Sue Ryder Care. But it was his deeds after the war, which proved more rewarding when he established an organisation, which was to become the internationally acclaimed Leonard Cheshire Foundation, which cares and provides homes for many thousands of disabled individuals throughout the world. As Cheshire wrote i... ... middle of paper ... ... idea of people saying at home which in turn means that institutes such as large mental homes will be closed. This means that more people will apply for the Enabling Scheme. This may affect the amount of funding that the scheme receives as there will be more clients so the scheme will require more money. * A rise in funding will benefit the scheme * A rise in clients may not as the number of volunteers may not rise with this so there will be a shortage. * If large mental institutes are closed down then more publicity will come to the scheme, as people will be looking for alternatives. This may benefit the scheme. * This Act also benefits the clients as it tries to keep people in their own community so they will be able to stay in an area they know with people they know.
The double Portrait ( Happy Birthday, Dear Eshter) was created by Abraham Rattner in1974. It’s an oil paint on Masonite and the size of artwork is 29.5 x 28 in.

We could also effect this by improving our efficiency and processing further clients to increase billables. We do have pent up demand, that is as we can see by the trends, growing.
It has 3 staff members in its Southern California Office; 2 staff members in its Northern California Office; and 1 staff member in its Central California Office (Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation, n.d.). Actually, the total number of full-time employees of the Foundation is 6 for all its three branches. This is an indication that the organization may be suffering from financial resource constraints, which makes it unable to hire an adequate number of full-time employees, especially if it truly intends to achieve its objectives and goals. Poor financial resource and inadequate staff present a threat to the survival of this Foundation. Therefore, the Foundation tries to correct this deficit by implementing volunteer programs to assist in the running of its activities and programs (Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation, n.d.). However, the overreliance on volunteers is also not healthy for an organization because volunteers require a lot of financial, material, and time resources to be invested in training them, which is evident that the foundation lacks. The end result is that most of the organization’s programs are never
In the autobiography Black Boy by Richard Wright, Wright’s defining aspect is his hunger for equality between whites and blacks in the Jim Crow South. Wright recounts his life from a young boy in the repugnant south to an adult in the north. In the book, Wright’s interpretation of hunger goes beyond the literal denotation. Thus, Wright possesses an insatiable hunger for knowledge, acceptance, and understanding. Wright’s encounters with racial discrimination exhibit the depths of misunderstanding fostered by an imbalance of power.
The Caning of Charles Sumner involved Preston Brooks and Charles Sumner and it affected the North, South, and Washington, D.C. The Caning of Charles Sumner was the barbarous beating of Charles Sumner by Preston Brooks after he denounced the South in his ardent speech called “The Crime Against Kansas”. The attack was bewildering to Northerners; Charles Sumner was a senator from Massachusetts, which fueled tension from the North. Northerners believed that Brooks should have been sent to prison after the gruesome beating Sumner received. Yet, he was only charged a fine, which furthered the North’s denouncing of the South. Similarly to the North, the beating was quite a baffling offence to Southerners. Yet, it was rightful accepted since Sumner

John Winthrop and Benjamin Franklin were both leaders in their time. They had very different views on common issues, which is very apparent in the works used in the document provided for this paper. The two men had differences in topics such as; logical thinking, religion, and views on government control. John Winthrop was more of a strict man who didn't see the option of questioning issue, where as Benjamin Franklin chose to have a more open mind about each issue he dealt with.
Terry Tempest Williams writes a beautiful memoir bringing together the unnatural and natural world. Williams claims that cancer found in her family was caused by the atomic and radiation testing where she lived during the 1950s and 1960s, but she came to realize that once one is diagnosed with cancer, its course occurs naturally, and slowly deteriorates one’s body. Terry Tempest Williams describes how cancer affected everyone in her family by detailing how she and her family struggled through the time when her mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer to the time after her death. She specifically describes this struggle by incorporating the birds that she studies near her hometown in Utah with the flooding of Great Salt Lake to her mother and other relatives’ journey with fighting cancer. In the first half of the book, Williams often times describes the birds that she studies at the Bird River Migratory Bird Refuge as a means to escape and suppress the hardships that she faces with her family. By the end of book, she learns that suppressing and escaping the cancer and disease that surrounds her family is not the answer, instead, she realizes that it is better to accept it, and learn how to cope with death and the changes it can bring. The relationship between the inescapability of life and death and the uncontrollable elements of nature deliberated in Terry Tempest William’s memoir Refuge make this a poetic, graceful, and telling book.
Prior to the period of time that these documents were written was the Renaissance. This was a period of time in which people reimagined the way their life should be. The first document was published the 1550’s; whereas, the Renaissance ended in 1527 and had started in 1375. Another contribution to the way childrearing was in the 1550-1750’s was the Reformation which took place from 1517-1648. These shifts in society are crucial to the social constraints, religious views, and cultural development, because during the Renaissance people had a “rebirth” on social and cultural priorities shifted and in the Reformation religious views changed.
In spite of the shortage among nurses, there are number of options and recommendations that can better help to maintain an adequate staff level and provide greater strategies needed to increase nursing. The choices open to cover for insufficient staff range from reallocating and postponing work, relocating staff within unit or from other units, to employing temporary additional nurses according to Buchan and Seccombe (1995). In health care, some of these options may not be available because ...

Many of the the most important features of modern rockets, missiles, and even spacecraft use the principles pioneered by Dr. Robert Goddard. Before his work, many people didn't even believe thrust could propel a rocket in a vacuum and, because of this, he was ridiculed by the New York Times when he proposed that space travel with rockets was possible4. When he tried to tell the U.S. Army about the possibility of the Germans using rockets as weapons just before World War II, he was rebuffed. What he had warned became a reality however, when German V-2 rockets hit London. After the war was over, German scientists admitted that much of the design for the V-2 had been taken from Goddard's patents, which were publicly available4.

Thousands of nurses throughout the nation are exhausted and overwhelmed due to their heavy workload. The administrators do not staff the units properly; therefore, they give each nurse more patients to care for to compensate for the lack of staff. There are several reasons to why
Albert S. Osborn (1858 - 1946) is a pioneer in forensic science that was involved and developed all of his time to the study of evidence in questioned documents. Question documents involves with handwriting. So, the job of the experts is to find out how, when, and by whom certain documents were prepared. They also search and involve with dating the documents, ink identification, copy, and forgery - copying someone's signature. Albert Osborn has started to devote his life into the field of question document around 1910. Albert S. Osborn is the first generation of Osborn family practice that has been qualified as an expert in courts. He has testified on the subject of original documents in both civil and criminal cases for the United States Government and many states of law enforcement agencies. Such states as Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York are states that often used Osborn as an expert on the subject of disputed documents. One of the famous cases was the Lindbergh kidnapping trial or also known as State of New Jersey v. Hauptmann (O'Brien & Sullivan, p. 186). This case took place in 1935 and both Albert S. Osborn and his son, Albert D. Osborn, testified in the case on behalf of the prosecution. Moreover, many scientists and experts consider Albert S. Osborn the father of examination of disputed documents in the United States. In 1910, he wrote and published his first significant book, Questioned Documents. Furthermore, in 1922 he authored another important text, The Problem of Proof.
