On the mood induction session, subjects upon arrival were given cookies, drink and wrapped gift and then given questionnaires to fill. On the session with no induction events, the subjects were given the polls to fill.

Mrs. L is an older woman, an 88-year-old widow, with past medical problems such as urinary frequency, insomnia, falls at home, detached retina, and bilateral hip replacements.

CURRENT EVENTS REVIEW Security at all cost is very vital for survival. It is in the hierarchy of human needs, preferably among the top ones listed. In as much as it is crucial for survival, other things such as shelter, food and education are significant too. The proposed 4.8 trillion-dollar budget to boost defence puts us at a very confusing state. Would cut safety net programs in favour of raising defence to be the wisest thing to do?

I would call the enormous amounts of military spending a wrong decision, as it brings about the suppression of…
