... on his stomach with his head turned to the right. He had a punctured heart. After perhaps 30 seconds of a field assessment, I saw a man with an extremely light pulse, the slightest of breathing, and a blood pressure of 40/0. The intruding knife used was no larger than a small blade pocketknife, one-quarter inch at its breath. It was similar in size to the knife that my father carried religiously in his pants pocket. The signs I noted in my evaluation, coupled with the knowledge of other signals, pointed to one thing . . . pericardial tamponade. This type of injury is usually fatal. Already, the man had lain in the street far too long, approximately 30 minut ...
... who want to face it. Photojournalists need freedom to present us with the facts. One of the most powerful pictures taken by a photojournalist is the picture of the fireman carrying a baby from the Oklahoma City bombing. This picture received very negative reactions from some, but I don't see why. The picture shows the real tragedy and true emotions involved. If the photojournalists had restrictions, as some suggest, this picture probably would not have been taken. Why not? Because it's reality and it seems like the critics can't handle the truth. If they could then they'd understand the importance of the picture. Without freedom, people would perceive the wo ...
... energy behind Mies van der Rohe's work is free from restraints of a specific order, lead only by structural clarity and simplicity. One of his most famous statements, 'less is more', is backed up in full by the Farnsworth house. The House consists of parallel floor and ceiling planes measuring 29x77 feet, sandwiching a steel skeleton enclosed by a continuous glass-plane skin. This is levitated five feet above ground by eight face-mounted H-section columns extending to the roof edge. A smaller terrace plane is placed asymmetrically to the side. This levitates between the house floor and the ground via six H-section column stubs, two of which are shared with the h ...

... I have come to realize that I do not want to be the bossy Dr. Obvious who makes you anxiously wait hours in his office until he is finished chatting with his last patient about the upcoming bake sale. I have come to terms with the fact that my childhood dream is not all it was made out to be, and that years of medical school would only pay off if doctoring were really as exciting as shown on the television show ER. I learned that a doctor's day of snotty five-year-olds with ear infections is not my field of choice, and that I am willing to consider new careers such as Architecture and Fashion Merchandising. I say Architecture and Fashion Merchandising because ...
... However, there are major flaws in sex education. While it is extremely important to educate teenagers about sex and sexuality, putting sex education in the American educational system in not the correct solution. Sex education is flawed in that it is ineffective when it comes to lowering teenage pregnancies and STDs because sex education programs leave out important information, teachers who teach it are unqualified, and because teenagers are more greatly affected by their parents, peers, and popular media than by their teachers. There is a myth that sex education provides teenagers with good and important information. Sex education supposedly gives students the ...
... shaded area close to a long garden with water pressure to spare. Make sure the windows are closed, and then begin to pre-rinse the car to get any easily removed dirt off of the car, not doing this will result in scratching of the paint when washing with soap.

Once again you must rinse the car off with the hose, you must be sure t ...
... established by the Mexican government to provide employment for Mexico’s rapidly growing population along its border with the United States. This program was utilized to keep Mexicans from entering the United States. The idea was that Mexican workers would be kept on the Mexican side of the border if they were given factory jobs on the Mexican side. The Maquiladora program also wanted to attract foreign manufacturing facilities, technology, and know-how by giving a permanent tax holiday to manufacturing companies that would set up “twin plants” on the Mexican side of the border. In the beginning of the program, all foreign-owned operations had to be loca ...
... and moral intellect a chance to move up to high positions Justice is the political good in the polis, and it must promote the common interest of the people. What is perceived to be good has to be distributive and regulative. The law is the regulating mechanism that emerges from free and equal people in civic associations. It serves as the final arbiter of problems, and stands above individuals and binds their actions. Laws change habits and training, but are changeable through certain circumstances and procedures if it is believed to be unjust. The well-being of a society is contingent upon to what extent its citizens obey the law. A member of the ...
... Forty-seven bones of Lucy were found in Hadar, Ethiopia. The skeleton was 40% done--the most complete hominid skeleton found. Through radiocarbon dating, scientist discovered that Lucy lived 3.2 million years ago. Lucy, with a height of 3.5 ft. and a weight of 60lbs, was a full-grown adult. She had a wide face that resembled an ape more than a human did. Her forehead was low with a osseous browridge and a level nose. The hominid had a forward prominent jaw with broad canines and incisors. Lucy is thought to have an omnivorous diet of mostly meat. The angle of her hips showed specialists that Lucy was bipedal, but did not walk with as much ease as modern h ...
