Differences between a spade and a shovel Introduction For most people, a spade and a shovel mean pretty much the same thing, which is not true. A spade differs from a shovel, albeit slightly. This article will, therefore, focus on some of the differences between a spade and a shovel in what can be termed as a spade v shovel debate. Differences in material and weight Do spades and shovels differ in terms of material used? The truth is, there is very little or no difference in material between a spade and a shovel. Both of them are fixed with wood or fiberglass handles. The blades are generally made of carbon or steel. However, it is essential to note that most blades are made of stainless steel to keep a hold of rusting, which, ideally, is the greatest destroyer of metals. Examples of materials that are also used include aluminum, iron, and plastic. Focusing on this spade shovel debate, one may ask if there is a difference in weight between the two. The weight of these two depends on the…
Manhattan (1979) by Woody Allen More than five decades later, Manhattan (1979) is still one of the definitive films by Woody Allen. The movie depicts several characters weighing the benefits and costs of a relationship before making a decision. Social exchange theory suggests that for every social interaction, there is an underlying exchange process that aims to minimize damage and maximize benefits. In Manhattan, Isaac, Yale, Emily, Mary, Tracy and Jill weigh the potential benefits and costs of their social relationships. When a character finds a social or romantic relationship that has more risks than rewards, the character ends up terminating that relationship. Isaac, a divorced 42-year old writer, is currently dating Tracy, a high school teenager. His close buddy, Yale, a college professor, is married to Emily, however, is having an extramarital affair with Mary. Jill, Isaac’s ex-wife, is a writer currently writing about her past relationship with Isaac and has moved on to a lesbian relationship with Connie. When Mary and Isaac meet for the second time at a fundraising event, Isaac offers to take her home, and…
Challenges and college success plan When I matriculated into university, it never crossed my mind that, at some point, I would not even graduate. It is now coming to my attention that I may not graduate, especially if I do take necessary precautions. University education is a journey that comes with several challenges that a student should be prepared to face and overcome. Right now, a majority of students are focused on seeing their names appear on the graduation list in the end. However, sometimes they forget that their names can miss in the graduation list if they do not do some things right. The four most prominent challenges that I think can make me miss in the graduation list are procrastination, time management, low self-confidence, and a positive attitude. These three challenges are a significant threat to my academic life, mainly if I do take appropriate action to correct them. Information Technology is one area that requires complete dedication of time. Procrastination has been hurting me in many ways, like delayed submission of assignments. Procrastination has made me pile…
My life and profession About 10 years ago, I was still living in my parents’ house and drowning in my thoughts about my future. I had just graduated out of college two years before; with no job and future not looking bright. Society and family expect that once you are out of college you should have a lucrative job, but this was not my case. Growing up, I have always believed that there is nothing that cannot be achieved in life; except if you do not put enough effort, passion, and commitment into achieving your dream. I have a lot of things that I want to achieve in life, but before now, I did not really have any major goals. Is it the environment, or maybe it is just the fact that I have always depended on my parents for mostly everything growing up? But still, I believed I have a very bright future ahead of me. Undoubtedly, my parents have always been very supportive of my siblings and me. My parents specifically choose the college for me to attend…
The origin and the behavior of the shark family By the end of this speech, I am confident that my audience will have a clear understanding of the origin and the behavior of the shark family, and also the three myths that surround their act of attacking their prey. Sharks are, without a doubt, many people’s worst dreadful animals. But what they do not know is they have secured the oceans and seas and have been wrongly observed as being dangerous animals to humans. Therefore I stand here to speak about sharks and probably convince you otherwise. Sharks are understood to have anatomical characteristics, migration patterns, and intelligence, and that makes them highly regarded creatures. Therefore my first point is that sharks are intelligent creatures whose brain-to-body mass ratios are similar to mammals. The second point is that sharks migrate in groups with a speed of 5mph while also averaging a maximum speed of up to 12mph. And the third point is that they can smell a single drop of blood from hundreds of meters away. The myths of shark’s…
Effective communication for positive patient outcomes in the hospital setting Josie King, a one and half-year-old baby, died of dehydration and misuse of narcotics while in Johns Hopkins Hospital after suffering first and second-degree burns. Before this incident, Josie’s mother had reported that Josie’s eyes were rolling behind her head, and Josie always cried for drinks. This was a symptom of dehydration which the medical staff caring for Josie failed to notice. Besides, before administration of the narcotic, Josie’s doctor had given a contraindication to narcotic administration to her. However, even after Josie’s mother, Sorrel King told the nurse about this concern, the nurse still went ahead and administered methadone to Josie, which eventually led to her death. Such incidents often happen in our hospitals due to poor communication and failing to listen to and respect the concerns of patients’ loved ones as in the case of Josie. According to Calder et al. (2017), effective communication practices are crucial for positive patient outcomes in the hospital setting. Clinicians should adhere to teamwork and effective communication with their patients and significant…

Certain Investigations on Leveraging Blockchain Technology for Developing Electronic Health Records R.Kalaipriya1, S.Devadharshini2, R.Rajmohan3, M.Pavithra4, Dr.T.Ananthkumar5 Research Student1,2, Associate Professor3, Assistant Professor4,5 Department of CSE1,2,3,4,5 IFET College of Engineering1,2,3,4,5 Villupuram, India r.99kalai@gmail.com, dharshu0018@gmail.com, rjmohan89@gmail.com, pavimuthu27@gmail.com, ananth.eec@gmail.com Abstract— This paper exhibits a Blockchain-based design for our current Electronic Health Records (EHR) frameworks. Electronic Health Records commonly comprise extremely penetrating and precarious records associated with patients. It needs to track all the events that occurred in the records to achieve data integrity for secure transactions. To solve these problems, we proposed two smart agreements, classified contracts, and user record associated contracts. The classified contract involves organizing the records in a distributed ledger format with secured interventions of Doctors and healthcare providers. The user record associated contracts validate the transactions requested by the concerned miners. We evaluate the proposed architecture by realizing the Hyper ledger framework, which includes Hyperledger explorer, composer, and caliper. Compared to conventional EHR frameworks, the suggested structure with the employment of the Blockchain has improved efficiency and security for storing electronic health records. Keywords— Electronic health information,…

Inter-teaching I sat on the porch together with my dad thinking about what our “normal “ life has turned out to be with the outbreak of Covid -19 that forced us to spend most of our time at home. I looked at him, and thought of how times flies; he was now 50 years old. Why does he have to smoke? My dad is such a beautiful being, well I guess most girls out here say so about their dads. Never the less mine is the most handsome. I observed him for some time before beginning the interview, “Hey, father.”Yes, honey,” he replies. I immediately start asking my questions, ”Why do you have to smoke daddy. “He smiles and says,” Well kid, there’s no doubt that quitting is one of my greatest desires, but it is so hard “ He pauses for some time then continues .”I first smoked when I was 22 years old. Well, most of my friends then were smokers. Smoking was a part of me as it seemed cool and a form of rebellion. “.So…
