    The provided scenario gives an account of a busy emergency department with competent staff, and the multiple errors that led up to the most severe error possible in healthcare, unnecessary death of a patient. A root cause analysis (RCA) can be utilized to help understand the systems at fault within the facility so that improvements can be determined and implemented to prevent any future occurrences (Cherry, 456). RCAs focus on systems rather than blaming individuals involved, therefore they are only appropriate in cases where there has been no willful negligence or criminal acts (Huber & Ogrinc, 2014). The overall purpose of RCAs is to find out the causes of the adverse event and determine how to keep similar errors from repeating in the future.…

    Bostonians responded with outrage to the closing of their port and the arrival of British soldiers and warships. The Committees of Correspondence that Sam Adams began in the early 1770s evolved to play an even more active role. In September 1774, all the colonies except Georgia sent representatives to the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia. The Congress decided on a boycott of British goods and promised to stand together in defense of Boston. One result of this promise was the forming, arming, and training of colonial militias. The Congress also prepared a summary of its complaints for King George. The king, however, was not interested in reviewing these complaints and sent more soldiers and ships to Boston.…

    Thor the god of thunder, is the blood-son of Odin, the universal father, and Jord. Father of the Asgardians, and Jord, who was also known as Gaea, the goddess who was one of the Elder Gods. Odin sought to father a son whose power would derive from both Asgard and Midgard (as the Earth realm is called by Asgardians), and hence he sought to mate with Jord. Odin created a cave in Norway where Jord gave birth to Thor.[1] Months after the infant Thor was weaned, Odin brought him to Asgard to be raised. Not until many decades later did Thor learn that Jord was his birth mother.…

    Romare Bearden

    Color Space was created by Robert Gamblin because of the Smithsonian Institution commissioning him to recreate one hundred and fifty oil paint colors from the 17th and 18th century. His job is to sort out and make color mixing easier. Thus, we have Color Space, a quick way to identify and mix colors. Robert defines Color Space by three different attributes such as hue, value, and intensity. The intense colors are located on the outer edges, the center more neutral, and value moves up and down the diagram. He has nintey seven colors in color space and the colors to be made from these are limitless. Value was major in the renissance era because of the limited colors available to the artists. Hue is linked more towards impressionists in the 19th century and Intensity was founded by modern masters in the 20th century. These three dimensions create structure for Color Space. In this video Robert explains to viewers how to make a traditional color wheel for your personal pallet. His placement of the colors helps artists maintain temperature relations and the "mother hue". I believe his structure can be very helpful to artists of all expierience levels in an at home setting. The overwelming prosess of making colors, remaking colors, and finding colors to fit your style of work is deminished with this easy to use system. I would recomend this product to anyone with out formal training. This video was so exciting and helpful I almost want to become an…

    Jacob Riis

    Published in 1890 and sub-titled “Studies Among the Tenements of New York”, this book was written by Jacob Riis, a Danish immigrant, to expose the ill treatment of the tenement poor in New York City. The book grew out of both his personal experience in the neighborhoods he wrote about, and his work as a reporter for the New York Tribune, where he started working as a police reporter in 1877. He pioneered the use of flash photography, allowing him to capture and communicate in a very concrete way the misery of the tenements. In 1888, the New York Sun published his essay “Flashes from the Slums: Pictures Taken in Dark Places by the Lightning Process,” and in 1889, Scribner’s published his photographic essay on city live which was to grow into “How the Other Half Lives.”1…

Born in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1911, and soon moved to New York, also spending little time in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania, Bearden was raised in a middle class household where both his parents held decent jobs.

    Harriot Jacobs

    • 3 Pages

    Harriet Jacobs was a beautiful slave girl who suffered great abuse as a child from her master. After loosing her mother at age six, her grandma was all she had. Although she had great admiration and respect for her grandma, she also feared her presence. Harriet lived in town with her master, Dr. Flint, instead of on a distant plantation like most slaves in that time. As she grew, she caught the attention of her master more and more. She was fifteen when the innocent attention turned in to something more dark and abusive. Growing up Harriet’s grandma taught her to respect herself and not participate in certain activities, so when her master came to her and demanded that she be involved with him she was very emotionally torn. She was not able to confide in her grandma about the abuse, thus leaving her essentially alone to deal with her pain on her own.…
