Journal of a Titanic Passenger
I am writing my first entry aboard this incredible vessel today, primarily because I have been spending the last three days exploring the sections open to my fellow third-class passengers and I. What I have seen is extraordinary, especially when first boarding the ship. The halls and staircases of the first class section were like nothing I had ever seen before in my life. They were blanketed in luxury from end to end. The first class passengers I had managed to see wore their best garments boarding the ship and were conversing with each other about their rich lives back home. I believe I even saw Mr. John Jacob Astor, a man I had heard much about for his contributions to the American fur trade. I had heard that he would be aboard for the maiden voyage of ...

Ambrose’s attraction to the west resulted in Undaunted Courage, a splendidly thorough, exciting description of a happening that has achieved infamous status. Very much like the expedition itself, the book is slow in the beginning, being worried with topics like family sayings and "begats" but after 40 to 50 pages o it takes off. The expedition started chiefly through the labors of President Thomas Jefferson. Amongst his chief objectives were to find an all-water route to the Pacific and to keep the West from seceding away under Aaron Burr. Being Jefferson, there was also the pure intellectual joy of discovery...
In conclusion, Amy Bishop also known as The Deadly Professor began a shooting spree at a department faculty meeting. No one knows for sure as to what led Bishop to this chain of events, but her background claims that she had previous experience involved in murder, assault and battery and a possible suspicion of creating a pipe bomb. Her lawyer however, claims that Bishop just could not handle being turned down from tenure and it possibly caused her to snap due to all the stress gained from being the breadwinner. On September 24, 2012, Bishop was charged with capital murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole (Reeves, 2012).
Mrs. Adams imagery in an effective approach by stating “You have had no occasion, either from enemies or the danger of the sea, to repent your second voyage to France.” This provides an image of the dangers of the
Pathophysiology There are three different stages of acute renal failure; prerenal, intrarenal, and post renal. Prerenal failure is a result from an illness or injury that causes obstruction of blood flow to the kidneys, called hypoperfusion. Hypotension, hypervolemia and inadequate cardiac output are all examples that could cause prerenal failure. According to Lippincott Williams and Wilkins (2009), “prerenal azotemia, excess nitrogenous waste products in the blood, account for 40% to 80% of all cases of acute renal failure” (p. 307). Intrarenal is when there is direct damage to the kidney tissue by either inflammations, drugs, infections or a reduction in the blood supply to the kidney. Post renal is when there is an obstruction of the urine flow. Causes of obstruction could be enlarged prostate gland, kidney stones, bladder tumor or injury. There are four phases of acute renal failure; onset, oliguria, diuresis and recovery. The onset phase can last hours or up to days. The BUN and creatinine levels may start to increas...
Dear Samson this is Royce, in good faith, who apologizes for such a sinful delay from your last letter. That letter bestowed a whole hearted warmth upon me, a warmth I cannot say the voyage to the New World has brought. Recalling the influence of religious freedom which had urged me to strive towards this New World has pursued a bittersweet arrival. My brethren and I have prayed for different, blessed lands, yet, Cape Cod stared wildly and callously upon my optimism. Before our arrival, half of our ship’s men were plagued by scurvy and disease. Whether one death on the ship is fortunate or unfortunate (Of Plymouth Plantation, Page 7), a poor man was starved, killed and thrown over the Mayflower’s sides (Of Plymouth Plantation, page 5). Nevertheless, the Mayflower continued miles across the stormy seas (Of Plymouth Plantation, Page 8) I prayed for relief and the holiness of our arrival could not be expressed with prayer. Father would probably laugh at my pessimism. I know at times I seem like a pessimist but, deny me not that the voyage was horrible. While it was mostly terrible, during the voyage to the New World a woman did welcome a lovely child that was gifted the name “Oceanus” (Plymouth Plantation Video). For me, Oceanus symbolized a marvelous
1. Acute on chronic renal failure, hypertension and vascular disease are the most likely cause of his chronic kidney disease due to the long duration of diabetes and lack of proteinuria. Baseline creatinine can be summarized as being around 2.5 from 2014 to 12/2016. It is now 3.7, due to his wound infection and possibly vancomycin toxicity.
Lily was a 65 year old lady with stage 5 CKD, she had recently begun hemodialysis treatment three times a week as an inpatient and had been responding well to treatment. During dialysis treatment on the morning of the first day, Lily’s observations showed that she was: tachycardic, hypotensive, tachypnoeaic, had an oxygen saturation level of 88% and was becoming confused and drowsy. It became apparent that Lily had become hypovolaemic. The hypovolaemic shock seen in this patient was of a particular critical nature due to the fact that her dialysis treatment had moved her rapidly through the first two stages of shock with her compensatory mechanisms failing very quickly (Tait, 2012). It was also much harder to identify the early signs of hypovolaemic shock, as some of the signs and symptoms could have been attributed to her kidney failure (Macintosh and Moore, 2011; Murphy and Byrne, 2009).
Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes Insipidus, and Glomerulonephritis are all diseases that affect the kidneys, along with other organs in the body. All three of these diseases are complicated and cause different signs and symptoms. Although a preliminary urine test can show the possibility of each of these diseases, they must be confirmed by further testing and treated accordingly. In this paper, I will discuss how Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes Insipidus, and Glomerulonephritis are diagnosed and the treatment for each of the diseases.
Some may think that they words acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease mean the same thing, but that is incorrect. Kidney failure results from the kidneys not being able to eliminate metabolic waste products and water, which can also disturb all other organs of the body. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a sudden and rapid loss of kidney function that usually occurs over hours to days due to acute tubular necrosis. Acute tubular necrosis is a process where ischemia affects parts of the kidneys and disrupts the basement membrane and the tubular epithelium. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a gradual onset and can take place over many years. CKD is seen in many diabetic patients due to diabetic neuropathy. AKI is a much more serious issue and should be taken very seriously.
Determinist believe we are not responsible for our actions, and should not be held accountable for the decisions we make. This is especially important when crimes arise and trials are held. Determinist plead innocent because their actions were predetermined, and they were forced to act in a certain way. Determinists think they should not be punished for their actions because of this. Along with being punished for not doing what is considered right, determinist think we should also not be praised for doing good since we were destined to do good. It is not fair to praise one for good behavior when someone else who does bad, was never able to change themself to do good because it was not part of their destiny. In contrast, Vir writes that people who believe in free will believe that, “every person bears moral responsibility for his or her actions.” Since free will thinkers believe we have the choice to act as we please, we must fess up when we act negatively in a situation. The power to freely choose what we do in life comes with both positive and negative consequences that we must own up to. In theory, those we do bad are held responsible and punished. Those who do good, will be treated with
Under the leadership of Nikita Khrushchev, vast economic reforms were implemented in the aim of being competitive with the West. Following the revolts of 1956, Khrushchev put this plan into action. Bottoni reports, “The Soviet Bloc started implementing growth policies that were still based on the development of heavy industry, but faced greater emphasis on satisfying the fundamental needs of the population.” To modernize the Soviet state, it was necessary that the economy should be able to accommodate the needs of the growing population. The 1950’s marked high industrial growth rates across Eastern Europe, this was assisted under the territorial gains following World War II. Gaining territory previously held by Nazi Germany, the command based economy successfully pushed the state through waves of industrialization. The centrally planned structure allowed industrialization to happen in several years, a vast accomplishment compared to the West. The 1950’s marked a major shift away from agrarianism, to heavy industry and military spending. Because of this high industrialization, members of the Soviet population came to belief that the communist system was effective. Though this success was fleeting, limited entirely by the confines of the ideologies
The ½ concentration however begins to plateau at a faster rate then the full concentration, which takes a much longer period of time to reach its plateau (fig.1). The plateau for both of the different iodine concentration concludes that each system is reaching equilibrium and therefore returning to a homeostatic state. Fick’s Law can be used to better understand the patterns in figure 1. It states that the diffusion rate is equal to the difference in concentration. This means that because the difference in concentration between the two solutions (iodine and soluble starch) used in this experiment were greater when the iodine was at full concentration, the rate of diffusion would also be greater. This occurs as the molecules of the iodine want to go from a place of high concentration to that of low concentration therefore the change in absorbance will be larger as more molecules of are passing through the semi-permeable membrane. We can thus conclude that when the iodine solution is at a higher concentration it will have a higher average absorbance as a greater amount of iodine molecules are needed to pass through the membrane to become saturated and return the system to equilibrium (Fig.
In Two City Areas, Certain Hours from Specimen Days, Whitman is captivated by the “Mississippi of horses and rich vehicles, not by dozens and scored, but hundreds and thousands – the broad avenue filled and cramm’d with them – a moving, sparkling, hurrying crush, for more than two miles.” The maritime spirit is present throughoug Manahatta, where “the houses of business of the ship-merchants, and money-brokers” on “the river-streets.” This perception of New York as a foremost marine port has been enriched after our Museum visit, where we have seen examples of trading figures of the sailors in a contrapposto
In conclusion to the second experiment we saw that each beaker took from 7 to 18 minutes depending on the heat of the water. we saw that sample number 1 took 18 minuets with heat of 10 degree C. and sample number 2 took 15 with heat of 25 degree C. and sample number 3 took 7 minutes with heat of 70 degree C. Now that we noted that we can say that the diffusion of copper sulphate varies depending not the temperature with beaker number 3 started the diffuse in 7 min and the beaker number 1 took 18. so the hotter the water the faster the diffuse of the copper sulphate.
