The Aboriginal Healing Foundation was thus established in 1998, originally with an eleven-year mandate scheduled to expire on March 31, 2009. This time frame reflected the original establishment of the foundation as part of a governmental policy of restitution for past abuse and its intergenerational effects: it was supposed that the conditions and the psychological welfare of the affected portion of the population could be substantially ameliorated within that specific time frame, but also reflected a sense that the original population for whom the funds represented a form of reparation were already dying. Unfortunately, problems like alcoholism tend to linger on well beyond the initial policies of abuse and neglect -- for this was official government policy, for which the Aboriginal community would receive official federal redress -- and it is for this reason we turn to the Smithers Foundation: the original…...

Pre-Employment Screening Procedures
Mr Jonathan Lucas Jessop (Director)

From: Ms Kaylinn Elizabeth Jackson (Recruiter and Personnel Manager)

Re: he Importance of Effective Pre-Employment Screening at I People.

Dear Mr. Jessop

Nobody knows better than you and I the challenges we face today in terms of personnel recruitment and retention. Indeed, today's demographic, economic, and technological developments have created a recruitment base fraught not only with opportunities, but also with challenges. It is far easier today for potential employees to manufacture any information, ranging from the personal to the professional. For this reason, it is vital that we, especially in the I industry, weed out such fraudulent applications to ensure that we employ the best persons from our pool of applicants.

It is also true that applicants simply omit pertinent information from their applications that might be to the detriment of the company, such as a criminal past or problematic behavior in society or at previous…...

The document consists of three parts: 1) A definition and discussion of the nature of pre-employment screening; 2) A list of screening procedures, and 3) Obtaining consent. The document provides good general information about pre-employment screening that any company can apply to its hiring procedures.

Shaker, J.M. (2009). Pre-Employment Screening Methods: How Much Do You Really Want to Know? Ryan, Swanson, & Cleveland, PLLC. Retrieved from:  http://www.ryanswansonlaw.com/Documents/Articles/Article%20-%20Pre-Employment%20Screening%20Methods%20 (2009).pdf

On the premise that employers have access to a far wider pool of employees than in the past, the document addresses both benefits and drawbacks of pre-employment screening. Some of the drawbacks include the time and funding expenses involved in some screening procedures; others could be invasive, which might discourage qualified employees from giving consent; screening could result in additional legal liability for employers. After offering information about screening methods, the document concludes by advising that the necessity for certain screening methods match the job for which the employee is hired. Careful analysis is necessary to achieve a good match between screening technique, the type of employee required, and the work to be performed.

Generally, the two proposals have adhered to APA formatting guidelines. They have a title page, the main text, and the references page. The main text is aligned at 0.5 inches indention. The pages are well paginated on the top left corner. For the title page, the header is well in line with APA header requirements, however, for both proposals, the header for the pages after the title pages is wrongly done, with the words "Running head" included. According to APA citation guidelines, the pages after the title pages should not contain the words running head (Angeli et al., 2010). Both proposals lack an abstract and the headings have…...

eplacing the Current Mode of Commuting by a Share and Own Aircraft
It is true that the executives of Acme manufacturing with the HO at Akron, Ohio are in need of commuting to remote sites at Chicago -- OD, Seattle and Miami -- MIA and is a weekly affair at least for seven executives who have to travel to these satellite locations. The basic problems are that unjustified costs for travel have mounted to $75,000 per month and the executives have to depend on many airlines' schedule. Another $15,000 is thus incurred for travel expenses and there are issues related to productivity. This report is an indicator for a possible solution to this problem. While owning an aircraft entirely for the company may actually be more costly and cumbersome in maintenance and other expenses and the additional salaries to maintenance staff, pilots and fuel, the alternate solution suggested is to…...

Healthcare and its rising costs have become a contentious issues within America and abroad. Healthcare costs, unlike other aspects within a developed society are not cyclical. Costs related to healthcare don't move in tandem with economic activity. Instead, as historical trends indicate, it continues to rise as the populations of developed countries become older. The United States is no different in this regard. Healthcare costs as a percentage of GDP continues to rise. The Centers for Medicine and Medicaid Services found that health care spending grow at 5.3% in 2014 to over $3 Trillion. This rise in healthcare spending accounting for over 17% of the United States GDP in 2014. Furthermore, the 5.3% rise is spending far outpaces the 2% to 3% historical rise in GDP. If the trend continues, as experts believe it will, healthcare costs will quickly take larger and larger portions of our nations GDP (Mahar, 2006).…...

Youth Gangs in Schools
In recent years, youth gangs and gang-related violence in schools have highlighted many news reports and is considered to be a rapidly increasing problem for cities and suburban areas.

Youth gangs in schools have become more prevalent, with a record number of students (25%) admitting to knowing someone in a gang, or knowing of a youth gang, or gun possession on school grounds due to youth gang presence (Howell and Lynch 1).

Youth gangs have been around for decades, from the Jets in West Side Story, to recent Hollywood films like Colors, and oyz in the Hood, gangs have been showcased as having an honor system and a feeling of unity. Unfortunately most youths who join gangs suffer from low self-esteem; feel powerless in their own life; and/or feel rejected at home or in school (Toronto School District). Membership in a youth gang gives them a sense of belonging,…...

Henrietta Lacks

The case of Henrietta Lacks and the recommendations therein is a good one. The overall autonomy and fairness to the participants is taken into account. The report notes collection of research cells without the knowledge and consent of the participant is undoubtedly the way to go. Parallels are drawn to the concentration camp experiments from World War II that were conducted on the Jews and the Tuskegee Airmen that were subjected to medical tests including intentionally infecting African-American soldiers with syphilis was deplorable and disgusting and this report rightly points out how vile this activity was. Coming back to Ms. Lacks, harvesting of cells without the consent of Ms. Lacks and a clear quorum of her family also being against it should have necessitated that her cells not be harvested.

Curriculum:
"Expanding the limits of lived and written experience: Required Independent Study"

There are certain concepts and ways of presenting ideas that all educated human beings must know. This fundamental assertion about education seems to lie at the heart of the concept of requiring the completion of a core curriculum for all graduating undergraduate students. At very least, the existence of a common core belies the university's desire that all graduates of its institution are versed and knowledgeable in certain basic skills, such as writing a cohesive essay and understanding how to conduct an experiment according to the scientific method.

However, most institutions, including Columbia, also have some other 'agendas' in constructing a common core curriculum, namely that all students and graduates of the institution will be familiar with a certain canon of books and authors that have been quantified over time as 'great literature.' It is with this implicit, and occasionally…...

1. Executive SummarySmart traffic lights are a product innovation designed to help alleviate and mitigate traffic congestion. Traffic congestion is particularly troublesome in large cities as it results to large amounts of productivity loss through various delays. Congestion can also adversely impact the environment as vehicles are in operation much longer that should otherwise be warranted through the use of smart traffic lights. This contributes to higher costs associated with wear and tear on both vehicles and roadway infrastructure.Smart traffic lights are used to help lower congestion by using artificial intelligence and data analytics to proper regulate traffic flow. Through proper regulation of traffic flow, congestion can be reduced allowing for a much more seamless travel and commute experience. In addition, smart traffic lights can help reduce the impact on carbon emissions on the environment by lowering the overall time vehicles are operated on the road (Dhole, 2014).2.

Grant Proposal to Improve Quality of Care
Nursing fatigue is one of the major factors that affect the quality of care provided by nurses to different patient populations. Studies have demonstrated that nursing fatigue is attributable to various factors including workload, illness, job frustration, and job stress. Nursing fatigue affect the quality of care provided by nurses through generating practice errors that hinder the delivery of high-quality care. Therefore, one of the most important measures to enhance the quality of care for residents living in a nursing facility setting is dealing with nursing fatigue. In this case, this grant proposal is geared towards obtaining funding to improve the quality of care for residents living in a nursing facility setting in relation to nursing fatigue.

Problem Statement

Nurses in this nursing facility setting that serves residents are involved in providing round-the-clock care to patients. These professionals provide a wide range of nursing services including…...

Quality Development in Advanced Practice field knowledge in nursing: Proposal on Enhancing the dental health of children suffering Congenital Heart Disease
One of the most prevalent development abnormalities found in children is heart disease, and it occurs in about 8-10 in every 1, 000 births. Dental supervision of children with congenital heart problems calls for special care, due to their increased susceptibility to contagious endocarditis, which is associated with bacteremia caused by persistent dental processes. Additionally, these patients always have developmental enamel abnormalities that raises caries risk, and always have deprived oral health. This latter condition may be said to be due to cardiac health problems, whose care and attention may lead to the under-estimation of oral health and inadequate consideration. Additionally, continual administration of liquid drugs containing sucrose as sweetener may cause caries and gingivitis cases in children (Andersson et al. 2013a). Dental ailment may cause dental extractions in young…...

The school programs have been a subject of research, legislation and debate across many states and over many years. There has always been the urge to come up with a harmonized calendar that is suitable for the students, the teachers, the parents as well as the management of the schools. This has always proved to be a delicate balance, one rarely achieved in many institutions. There is need however to have year-round school programs that help in the completion of the needed curriculum, but also friendly to the main stakeholders. There are factors that must be put into focus and consideration by the relevant persons in building up a program for the educational institutions. The students need to be the first consideration in formulation of the school program. It should give the students significant time to rest and refresh their minds after many months of continuous learning and other academic activities.…...
