Disgraced pediatrician loses licence for 7 years - 0 views

  •  
    I'm learning more about things that occur in the medical field right now, and in particular what i'm wondering about is this news paper article.I was researching the question online, and this news item caught my attention because this old man has been a pedittrican for many years and he sexually assualted and drugged all his patients. I think that he is stupid for doing this. It is not worth waiting all your time in medical scholl and in college to throw your career down the drain. "A disgraced pediatrician found gulty of sexually assaulting his patients has had his medical licence suspended for a period of seven years." The quote i chose here is basically saying that a medical doctor was found gulity of sexually assualting his patients for seven years and he had his liscene taken away for 7 years. I think this is wrong because, it makes me wonder the type of things that other people do when they are in the medical field.I think that some people take advantage of their careers and they think that they won't get caught.

Alcohol Abuse Effects - 5 Physical Effects Of Alcohol Abuse | Health,Health problems,he... - 0 views

    Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been Alcohol. I remember my Uncle drinking Beer at a party. And I remember him telling people that Beer is the best thing to drink. At that time, I didn't know what he meant by that. Lately, the issue has caught my eye again. I know that many people feel that Alcohol is not really bad for men and women. From what I have heard, Alcohol is bad for people.For example, I heard that alcohol damages your body and brain. Now that's just what I've heard, it may or may not be true. One thing that I know for sure about Alcohol is that it's really harmful for Teenagers. Now I've studied my share of Medicine, and I believe that Alcohol is bad for everyone that drinks it every day in their life. It affects their brain and body. I also know that if your drink a lot of alcohol like beer, you have a great possibility of getting fat. And this is true because my Uncle got fat throughout time. And Why? Because he kept drinking beer. Personally, it's funny to me how people know the effects on alcohol and they keep on consuming it. Alcohol wasn't important to me in the past, because I'm not suppose to be learning about Alcohol when I'm only six years old. What I know about Alcohol is that it makes you act in a bad way. It damages your body. Alcohol makes you feel like in pain. Being that I didn't have a lot of background information on Alcohol, I chose to do some research on the topic. As I searched for blogs and news articles on Google, I came across this one article: http://howdoigetoffdrugs.com/2010/01/negative-effects-of-excessive-alcohol-consumption-on-the-body/. This article provided a lot of information and opinions on Alcohol .Some people felt that alcohol dependency is a chronic illness that can destroy a person's career and their family. It can also be fatal to their health if left untreated. And that substantial alcoholic substances drinking on a common basis causes chemical changes to a indi

    I'm learning about Nursing Programs right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is what does a nursing program offer and is it good? According to Murray-Schmidt, the students are enrolled in an accelerated nursing program, meaning that students who successfully complete four consecutive semesters of study will receive a two-year degree in 18 months. The course work is considered very vigorous and demands unwavering dedication and commitment from the students; clinical courses that are covered over six and 10 weeks during the regular school year are consolidated into four weeks during the summer months. "This group of students entered into the program in January of this year and will graduate with associate's degrees in May 2010. They will be eligible to take the registered nurse licensing exam at that time. Western currently holds a 91 percent examination pass rate. This ranking places them among those that are third from the top of 16 in the Wisconsin Technical College System and fifth from the top in the state of Wisconsin, inclusive of all two- and four-year nursing programs. This figure is based on April, May, and June exam candidates, and it is predicted to rise higher in the next quarter". This quote I chose is basically saying that a nursing programs is good in many ways. A nursing program helps you a start the career that you want. Starting from what you know to what you don't know.

Basketball Rules and How To Play The Game - 0 views

  • Women's basketball began in 1892 at Smith College when Senda Berenson, a physical education teacher, modified Naismith's rules for women
    • corey stanley
       
      this is something that i didnt even know, i thought womans basketball was created much later.
  • Dribbling, the bouncing of the ball up and down while moving, was not part of the original game except for the "bounce pass" to teammates. Passing the ball was the primary means of ball movement. Dribbling was eventually introduced but limited by the asymmetric shape of early balls. Dribbling only became a major part of the game around the 1950s as manufacturing improved the ball shape.
    • corey stanley
       
      So before the traveling rule was inforced, ball players would just run with the ball without bouncing the ball, im glad they changed that rule because it would be too easy to actually score and move the ball back and forth.
  • Basketball was originally played with a soccer ball
  •  
    Im learning more about college basketball and basketball in general, and what i am particulary wondering about is how different was the sport then (in 1891) to now. I was reasearching this question online and this blog post caught my attension because it explains the history of the game. "After rejecting other ideas as either too rough or poorly suited to walled-in gymnasiums, he wrote the basic rules and nailed a peach basket onto a 10-foot (3.05 m) elevated track. In contrast with modern basketball nets, this peach basket retained its bottom, so balls scored into the basket had to be poked out with a long dowel each time. A soccer ball was used to shoot goals. Whenever a person got it in the basket, they would give their team a point. Whoever got the most points, they would win the game.[2]" The quote I chose here is showing how the game evolved over many years. When the game was first created the basket was very different from the ones we have today, along with the basketball and some of the rules. Now everything is completly different but for the better. There are gyms, parks, rec centers a lot of different places all over the world where people can play the game for fun of try to actually make it a career. Before it was just something to do to get kids off the streets, now it has perks. Scholarships are given out, and many are getting paid millions of dollars to play the game. I think this is a perfect blog about the game then and now because a lot of people can really learn from this. It makes me wonder if people really know the complete history behind the sport even college and NBA players.

Nursing ethics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • The nature of nursing means that nursing ethics tends to examine the ethics of caring rather than 'curing' by exploring the relationship between the nurse and the person in care.
    • Rachel EWSIS
       
      What this is saying is becoming a nurse instead of curing for the person you have to care for them.
  • The focus of nursing ethics is on developing a caring relationship
    • Rachel EWSIS
       
      This is important because, if the nurses don't care then in my opinon i don't think that they will pick this career choice. Also if you don't have a caring relationship then, the patients won't really open up to their nurses.
  • This is where information about the person is only shared with others after permission of the person, unless it is felt that the information must be shared to comply with a higher duty such as preserving life. [5].
    • Rachel EWSIS
       
      I think that this is interesting because, i wonder if nurses do talk about the patients business. If i were a nurses patients i wouldn't want them telling my business unless it was necessary.

  • Nursing ethics shares many principles with medical ethics, such as beneficence, non-maleficence and respect for autonomy
    • Rachel EWSIS
       
      I wonder why some nurses sret up a list of laws for themselves? Aren't they given a set of rules or laws already?!
  • This is considered by its advocates to focus more on relationships than principles and therefore to reflect the caring relationship in nursing more accurately than other ethical views.
    • Rachel EWSIS
       
      I think caring about the relationships more than the principles is good because, the principles don't get you to a point where you could bound with the person and in my opinion i think that being a nurse you connect with the person on a professsional and emotional level.
  • People are then enabled to make decisions about their own treatment.
    • Rachel EWSIS
       
      I think that it's important for people to make their own decisions wether or not they want the treatment because, what if their family doesn't have enough mom to pay for it or they on't have insurance. Usually depending upon the situation like lets say if it's really bad then the person won't take the treatment if they are close to dying.
  • There is a balance between people having the information required to make an autonomous decision and, on the other hand, not being unnecessarily distressed by the truth.
    • Rachel EWSIS
       
      I wonder why sometimes people aren't able to handle tghe trhuth when they hear bad news about their health?!
  • This is because nursing theory seeks a collaborative relationship with the person in care.
    • Rachel EWSIS
       
      Patients and thie nurses need to have a caring relationship with each other. http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art43027.asp

Korean wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • He concludes his article by warning, “If the Korean Wave continues to surge, reflecting the diplomatic relations that supports a capitalist logic rather than a strengthening of the communicative power of civil society to provide the possibility of diversifying the cultural tastes of the masses, then it will have to put up a hard fight against China’s ethnocentrism and Japan’s malleable nationalism.”
    • Helen EWSIS
       
      Wow, that seems kind of harsh. I don't like the fact that these countries have such high competition with each other. It's like a constant war to see who is better. I guess it's just human nature to want to be the best out of the best.
  • Recent years have seen an increase in interest in the Korean language,[5] Korean cuisine[4] and Hanbok, the traditional Korean dress.
    • Helen EWSIS
       
      I have to totally agree with statement because the Korean culture is becomming more and more popular. Koreans all over the world are digging deep in to their inner self to represent their culture in the most positive way. Thanksgiving, or Chuseok, is now known all over the world and its making a name for itself. There is also Korean Children's Day and the Korean/Lunar New Year.
  • The success of South Korean dramas, movies, and music served as a major tourist magnet for South Korea in 2005, with tourists from countries such as Japan, China, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam.

  • Korean male celebrities are now among the highest-paid actors outside of Hollywood.
    • Helen EWSIS
       
      Haha, this is so true. Korean actors and actresses make so much money and most of them start at a young age, so they can be billionaires before they even get married. Take Bi Rain for example. He just finished filming the movie, Ninja Assassin in the U.S. I can't even imagine how much money he made off this movie alone.
  • The best-selling international singers from Korea are TVXQ also known as Dong Bang Shin Ki and Tohoshinki, Rain, and BoA; the latter due in no small part to her popularity in the J-pop market.
  • With the Korean Wave phenomenon splashing throughout the South East Asia with its dramas, catchy pop songs & B-Boys dances, the Korean language & Hangul are no longer an alien to Malaysians.
  • The Korean wave started with popular Korean drama winter sonata when TV3 bought the right to show it on malaysian TV."Winter Sonata" was the first of the Korean Waves to crash onto Malaysian shores.
  • A tsunami of Korean TV series such as "Autumn Fairy Tale," "Joyful Girl," "My Love, Patsi," and "Jewel in the Palace" followed its success. "Jewel in the Palace" which showcased Korean food was as addictive as "Winter Sonata" - its lead actress Lee Young-ae is second to Bae Yong-joon as the most popular South Korean celebrity in Malaysia.
    • Helen EWSIS
       
      It's funny how one drama can bring so much to the world. The diehard fans just can't get enough of the dramas and actors/actresses in them. It's amazing! But, sometimes it can get a little out of hand...
  • The soap opera attracted more than 1.3 million viewers per episode.
    • Helen EWSIS
       
      That's a lot of people... just in Malaysia alone?
  • Malaysians were also swept away by South Korean pop singers and groups such as Jang Nara, Rain, BoA, BabyVox, and T.V.X.Q.For DBSK, the 2007 concert was their second concert in Malaysia since they first visited Malaysia in 2006 as part of their first Asia tour to support their “Rising Sun” album.
  • Five new Korean restaurants named Daejanggeum (Jewel in the Palace) have opened in Kuala Lumpur. Thanks to the boom of the Korean Wave trend, exports of kimchi to Malaysia increased by 150 percent.
    • Helen EWSIS
       
      It's good to have an influence on another culture. This shows that the influence is indeed working its magic on the Malaysian society. Yay for Korean food!
  • The current popular K-pop band in Malaysia is DBSK, SS501, Super Junior, Big bang, 2PM, SNSD, SHINee, Wonder Girls, FT Island, f(x), including popular hip hop band Epik High.
    • Helen EWSIS
       
      5 out of these 11 groups named are from SM Entertainment.
  • Korean wave reached Burma via drama series.
  • In 2006, South Korean programs on Chinese government TV networks accounted for more than all other foreign programs combined.
  • Two radio stations, Commercial Radio Hong Kong and Metro Broadcast, introduced radio programmes focusing on Korean popular music and introducing the Korean wave.
  • The mainstream Bollywood film industry which has often been accused of plagiarism, has allegedly made several illegal remakes of successful Korean films.
  • There have also been allegations of music plagiarism from Korean pop bands by Bollywood's music directors.[
    • Helen EWSIS
       
      This was something that I've never known about. Maybe I'll do some research on this.
  • After the success of the drama Dae Jang Geum in Iran,[9], Iranian national TV's Channel 2 showed a series of programs called Korean Wave introducing Korean culture, and interviewed the drama's lead actress Lee Young Ae
  • The Korean Wave began in earnest in Japan after the airing of Winter Sonata on NHK, with an especially warm reception for lead actor Bae Yong Joon whom the Japanese have affectionally en masse nicknamed Yon-sama.
  • Several Korean artists have also had success targeting the Japanese market, such as BoA, TVXQ, Won Bin, SS501, Super Junior and most recently, Big Bang.
  • In fact, BoA is the first and only non-Japanese Asian to have two million-selling albums and one of only two artists to have six consecutive albums top the Oricon chart.
    • Helen EWSIS
       
      I love BoA; she is really an inspiration. She started her international career at such a young age. She was only 14 years old when she signed under the management of SM Entertainment in 2000. She is known globally for her ability to compose songs, sing, dance, model, and how she adapts to languages. She is highly famed in Japan and Korea for her ability to produce songs in Japanese and Korean.
  • ABS-CBN, after being out-gunned by its rival GMA Network in airing Korean dramas, has three of the biggest South Korean television networks as their affiliates (KBS, MBC and SBS) in order to have a steady supply of Korean dramas, which are insanely popular in the country.
  • Korean groups/idols from South Korea who is gaining popularity from different continents such as DBSK, SS501, Super Junior, Big Bang, SNSD, SHINee, Wonder Girls and other groups has gained popularity to the teenagers in the Philippines, and 2009 was their year.
