Invariable French Adjectives
In French, adjectives normally have to agree with the nouns they modify in gender and number. However, there are numerous adjectives which dont agree - they have a single form that does not change to reflect the gender or number of the noun. These are called invariable adjectives. Invariable Color Adjectives French color adjectives derived from nouns, such as animals, flowers, fruits, gems, and metals, are usually invariable:amarante     amaranthine (dark purple-red)ardoise     slate-greyargent     silveraubergine     eggplantauburn     auburnbrique     brick-redcanari     canary yellowcaramel     caramel-coloredcarmin     carminecerise     cherry redchair     flesh-coloredchampagne     champagnechocolat     chocolate-browncitron     lemon-yellowcrà ¨me     cream-coloredemeraude     emerald greengrenat     garnetindigo     indigokaki     khakilavande     lavenderlilas     lilacmarine     navy bluemarron     brownnoisette     hazelocr e     ochreolive     olive-greenor     goldorange     orangepastel     pastelpervenche     periwinklepie     (magpie) - piebald, black and whitepistache     pistachio-greenplatine     platinumprune     plumpuce     (flea) - pucerouille     rust-coloredrubis     ruby redsable     sandy, sand-coloredsafran     saffron-coloredsaphir     sapphire-bluesaumon     salmon-pinktabac     tobacco brownturquoise     turquoisevermillon     vermilionExceptions:  alezan (chestnut), fauve (tawny/fawn), incarnat (rosy), mauve, pourpre (crimson), rose (pink), vermeil (vermillion),and violet are variable according to the normal rules of agreement chà ¢tain (chestnut brown) is semi-invariable - it usually agrees in number, but rarely in gender Multiple Colors When two or more colors describe a noun, they may or may not agree:1) If there are items of each individual color, the adjectives agree:  des drapeaux bleus, blancs, rouges - red, white, and blue flags (some are red, some are white, and some are blue)des chapeaux rouges et noirs - red and black hats (some are red and some are black) 2) If each item has all of the colors, the adjectives are invariable des drapeaux bleu, blanc, rouge - red, white, and blue flags (e.g., French flags)des chapeaux rouge et noir - red and black hats This is one instance where agreement is useful, because it gives you more detail than what is available in the English translation.

Analysis Of George Orwell s 1984 - 1377 Words
In humanity, there are leaders who feel that taking control over their nation can help to improve their society. However, citizens in those particular societies, have diverse opinions as to their laws and regulations that they are required to follow. With this, every nation has its own particular government, or leader. A government’s role is to regulate and organize their nation, along with their citizens. There are various types of governments, such include democracy, oligarchy, and more specifically, totalitarian. A totalitarian government gains extensive amounts of control and power over all of their people, and dominate over every aspect of their lives. George Orwell’s â€Å"1984,†conveys to its readers how the government presented†¦show more content†¦Additionally, there were men known as the Thought Police, who had hidden cameras and microphones throughout the city, to increase the amount of security and monitoring on their citizens. There were se veral strict policies that all citizens were required to follow: no friends, no love, no freedom. It was often enforced that â€Å"Freedom is Slavery.†This phrase wanted to express how the government tried to persuade their citizens to believe that slavery is normal, and acceptable to the world. The government’s goal was to manipulate all of their citizens to have the same thoughts, and to eventually have everyone respect Big Brother and his regulations. This idea was known as doublethink. One way doublethink was achieved, was by convincing their citizens that 2 + 2 = 5. Although that person in actuality, knows that 5 is the incorrect answer, they learn to alter their minds into accepting that the solutions are 5 and 4. Because of this limit on the freedom of thought, newspeak was also incorporated. Don t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it†(Orwell

Heart Failure Congestive Heart Failure
Question: Discuss about the Heart Failure for Congestive Heart Failure. Answer: 1: In this case study, Mrs. Brown, a 78 years old female was admitted to the emergency department at 6am. She had a history of heart failure, 2 years ago. The patient showed severe dyspnoea, during the time of admission. Her respiratory rate was 24/minute. Oxygen saturation at room air was 85%. She showed the sign of hypertension with blood pressure 170/95 mmHg. Her pulse rate was also very fast, i.e. 110 beats/minute. On auscultation, crackles at the base of each lung have been shown. An ECG monitor showed atrial fibrillation, indicating acute exacerbation of heart failure. Her vital signs and clinical manifestation signs are indicating the left heart failure of the patient. Now, it is important to understand the pathophysiology causing Mrs. Browns condition. Heart failure is state o body, when the heart is not able to pump enough blood to meet the metabolic needs of body. In the case of left heart failure, the function of left side of the heart, including left ventricle and auricle becomes impaired. The left heart failure compromises aortic flow to the boy and brain. Because of faulty blood circulation by the left part of the heart, the entire body fails to receive sufficient amount blood, leading to the oxygen-deficiency of heart tissues (McMurray et al., 2012). These events lead to fatigue and pulmonary edema. There are several factors having significant contribution in the pathogenesis of left heart failure. One of the significant factors in case of Mrs. Browns case study was her high blood pressure. According to her vital signs during the admission, she had 170/95 mmHg blood pressure. This high blood pressure had a significant contribution in left heart failure. Left heart failure or left ventricular failure is considered as a life-t hreatening disease. In case of Mrs. Brown, she experienced the left ventricular heart failure. Her medical history shown that she started to feel breathlessness after waking up in the morning. The left ventricle of heart receives blood, rich in oxygen from the lungs and pumps it to left auricle, from where the blood is being pumped to the other parts f the body. As the ability of heart to pump blood forward from the left side has been decreased, the remainder of the body does not receive sufficient oxygen, which results in fatigue. Systolic and diastolic dysfunctions are the key reasons behind left heart failure. When the myocardial contractility takes place in the left ventricle, reduction in myocardial contractility promotes decreased left ventricular ejection fraction. Reduced contractility is caused as a result of ventricle overload, as the ventricle is filled with blood, heart muscle contraction efficiency becomes low. It is caused because of inability or decreased capability of heart muscle to establish cross-link between actin and myosin filaments in overstretched heart muscle. The cardiac output is based on the contractility and stroke volume (Hosenpud Greenberg, 2015). These factors are interrelated. Increase in contractility enhances stroke volume, thereby decreasing the cardiac output, which in turn leads to left heart failure. On the other hand, decreased diastolic volume results from impaired ventricular filling, which is occurred due to lowered compliance of ventricle. Terminally differentiated heart muscle fibers causes increased size of myocardium or hypertrophy, which is a way of improving contractility. It can contribute to increased stiffness and reduced ability to relax during diastole. It results in reduced cardiac output and enhanced strain on heart, thereby enhancing the chance of heart failure (Guazzi Borlaug, 2012). In the case of Mrs. Brown, impaired contractility and increased metabolic rate might caused the condition. She has a history of heart failure, however, she failed to maintain her blood pressure low or inadequate intake of diuretics might contributed in enhanced circulatory volume, leading to left heart failure. 2: Mrs. Brown was admitted to the emergency department with vital signs of acute congestive heart failure. Therefore, the first priority of the nurse would be to assess the patients physical and mental stability through a thorough assessment. After her admission, the nurse would assess all her vital signs including BP, BGL, mental status, consciousness, pain or angina, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation and previous medication. The nurse would also have to assess her heart sounds, presence of abnormal heart sounds, fluid overload and arrange the environment in such a way that can promote rest and emotional strengthening (Katz, 2013). The next intervention would be the management of dyspnea. The nurse would assist Mrs. Brown to decrease dyspnea. Administration of oxygen will be done after consulting with the cardiologist. The nurse can elevate her head to promote comfort and continuously monitor and report the signs of dyspnea. After consulting with the cardiologist, appropriate dose of diuretics can be administered along with the assessment of side effects. Mrs. Brown would be encouraged to intake adequate fluid as ordered by the physician and monitored for fluid overload (Rahko, 2013). 3: a) Furosemide is a loop diuretic that blocks sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter (NKCC2), present in the thick ascending limb of Henles loop, thereby inhibiting water reabsorption in nephron. As pulmonary edema is one step in pathogenesis of heart failure, the diuretic helps to retain water in body. Glyceryl trinitrate is a vasodilating agent, which is used for relaxation of vascular smooth muscle. The dilation of arterial bed would lead to reduced blood pressure, respiratory rate as well as decreased pulse rate (Uil Brugts, 2015). While assessing Mrs. Browns vital signs, it was revealed that these factors were elevated in case of Mrs. Brown, thus, the medication would help to reduce the worsening of the health issue. b) According to the pharmacology of furosamide, the drug has adverse effect like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, weight loss and enhanced heart rate. Monitoring her vital signs regularly, the adverse effects can be measured. On the other hand, Glyceryl trinitrates adverse effects include headache, elevated heart beat, loss of consciousness temporarily and diarrhea. Monitoring heart beat regularly; the adverse effects can be monitored (Uzu et al., 2011). c) As Mrs. Brown represented the vital signs related to pulmonary edema, thus water retention is important for enhancing her cardiac output and reducing edema. The effect of the medication can be evaluated by assessing the relief of the elevated blood pressure, thereby reducing the signs of dyspnea and respiratory rate. On the other hand, glyceryl trinitrate is important for dilating the blood vessels and thereby lowering the blood pressure and pulse rate (Peacock, 2012). Reference List Guazzi, M., Borlaug, B. A.

The Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution
Introduction This amendment was approved on July 1868. The amendment contained two important clauses that marked the history of Civil rights movement in the US. These are the Equal protection clause and the Due Process clause.Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on The Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More The former guaranteed equal protection of the law while the latter protected individuals from deprivation of life, liberty and property by the state without the due process of law. This article looks into the various interpretations given to the Fourteenth Amendment, limitations to its applications and the affirmative action. Interpretation of the 14th amendment The problem that faced the court was in determining what could qualify as equal protection. The first attempt to interpret the Equal protection clause was made in the infamous case of Plessy Vs Ferguson (1896), which advo cated for racial segregation. Justice Brown was concerned with the reasonableness of the clause. He argued that when the court is reviewing state legislation it should consider regulation of public order and the tradition or custom of the people. â€Å"In short, the Court created a very lenient standard when reviewing state legislation: If a statute promotes order or can be characterized as a tradition or custom†¦ the statute meets the requirements of the clause†(Peter, 1998, Par 3). In Brown Vs Board of Education (1954) however, the Equal Protection clause was given a new meaning. Justice Earl Warren found that segregated facilities did not amount to equal protection in law. He stated: â€Å"†¦the doctrine of ‘separate but equal’ has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. Therefore, we hold that the plaintiffs and others†¦are, by reason of the segregation complained of, deprived of the equal protection of the laws guar anteed by the Fourteenth Amendment†(Brown Vs Board of Education, 1954). Hernandez v. Texas (1954) the Court found that the Equal Protection clause to apply to not only whites and blacks but also other races and ethnic groups. Among these, other races were the Mexican-Americans. Since Brown case, women and illegitimate children have been included in the Equal Protection Clause.Advertising Looking for essay on government?

Par.2). The Due Process Clause was not only meant to protect basic procedural rights but also substantive rights. In the case of Gitlow Vs New York (1925), protection of press from abridge ment by the legislature was held to be some of the fundamental freedoms protected by the ‘due process’ clause of the fourteenth Amendment from infringement by the state. Here it was dealing with the substantive rights incorporated in the bill of rights. However, the decision in Muller Vs Oregon (1908), showed that the state could restrict working hours of women if doing so was in their best interest. This decision was made in due regard to the physical health of a woman. It was held that the physical role of women in childbirth and their social role in the society is an issue of public interest permitting the state to regulate their working hours notwithstanding the ‘due process’ clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Affirmative action Even though it offered a starting point, the Fourteenth Amendment was seen not to be enough to curb discrimination and racial segregation. More positive measures were needed to protect minority groups in the US. â€Å"Affirmat ive Action refers to a set of practices undertaken†¦ to go beyond non-discrimination, with the goal of actively improving the economic status of minorities and women with regard to employment, education, and business ownership and growth†(Holzer Neumark 2005, Par. 1). Affirmative Action was first introduced by President John F. Kennedy in the 1961 Executive Order 10925. Thereafter, several more orders were passed to deal with discrimination in employment. Other laws dealing with equal protection were subsequently enacted to outlaw discrimination such as the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Title II of the Act prohibited discrimination in public accommodations while title IV prohibited race and sex discrimination in employment. Courts too have joined hands in the fight. For example in Davis vs. Bakke (1978), where the court found that Bakke had been denied equal protection of the law by the University of California by being refused admission in the school even though his grades we re better than the minority’s admitted. This was done in line with a two-track admission system for blacks and whites. Even thought the decision overruled the affirmative action policy, it was viewed as a victory to proponents of affirmative action because it was a fight against racial segregation.Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on The Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More Affirmative action-together with anti-discrimination laws and legislation-has rendered rights of minority groups in the labor market as well as public academic institutions more apparent. Therefore we cannot bow to the critics propositions that affirmative action promotes discrimination and racism. â€Å"Laws barring race- or sex-conscious behavior in hiring, promotions, and discharges are likely to undermine not only explicit forms of Affirmative Action, but also any prohibitions of discrimination that rely on disparate impact analyses for their enforcement†(Holzer and Neumark, 2006, Par, 11). Conclusion The Fourteenth amendment has been classified as the most far-reaching amendment in the history of the US constitution especially to the minority groups. â€Å"The Fourteenth Amendment itself was the fruit of a necessary and wise solution for a comparable problem†(Howard 2000). It came at a time when civil rights movements were at the peak and has contributed significantly to the redemption of minority from past discriminatory activities. It created awareness to the whole world on the injustices of racial segregation and prompted the public to take corrective measures, which have no doubt yielded a lot of success.

Affirmative Action Essays (649 words) - Social Inequality
Affirmative Action Affirmative action is described as the term meant taking appropriate steps to eradicate the then widespread practices of racial, religious, and ethnic discrimination. The history of affirmative action starts a long time before this definition was stated during the early 1960's. It starts back to the Declaration of Independence where it states all men are created equal. It moves toward the Emancipation Proclamation, the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments which involved the freeing of slaves, abolishing slavery, conferred citizenship on all persons born in the United States, and guaranteeing voting rights to all citizens. There were also many court cases that helped move forth into affirmative action. A few examples would be Buchanan v. Warley, Plessy v. Ferguson, and Brown v. Board of Education. The latter court case was a real firestorm over affirmative action, which ruled that all local, state, and federal laws that enforced segregation in education was striked down. President John F. Kennedy first used the phrase "Affirmative Action" when he issued Executive Order 10952. This order created the Equal Opportunity Commission or the EEOC and contractors on projects financed with federal funds to "take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, ant employees are treated during their employment without regard to race, creed, color, or national origin." President Kennedy also pushed for more legislation but was not alive to see it go through. Proceeding Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson took over the fight and pushed for the passing of Civil Rights Act of 1964, which barred discrimination in the variety of private and public settings. It included prohibiting discrimination in private facilities, outlawed discrimination in federally-funded-programs, and prohibited discrimination by both private and public employers and so forth. Still under Johnson's control, the Executive Order 11246, placed the responsibility for affirmative action enforcement with the Department of Labor. This lead to the OFCCP, which is the Department's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program, which made Affirmative Action stronger in for contractors and made them submit affirmative action plans. LBJ did much for affirmative action programs and did not receive direct assault until 30 years later by more recent politicians. Nixon took over and helped affirmative action by producing the Philadelphia Plan and supporting the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972, which extended EEOC's jurisdiction. Nixon's support was short-lived to receive votes and then turned his back to all. Moving forward to Regan's Long legacy of trouble he made a strong oppression to affirmative action in the early eighties to receive more votes from "an increasing amount of insecure white middle class voters." He had an enormous negative impact on affirmative action by cutting funds to the OFCCP and EEOC and to repel some to the acts that had been passed prior. He was a on a constant attack to affirmative action falsely labeling related programs as "racial quotas" and "reverse discrimination." President Bush was not help with affirmative action, staying very quiet about it and trying to stay out of the fight fore new laws. When Clinton came to office he was a hope for the civil rights community by his cabinet including four blacks, three women and two Hispanic men. He also had more women and minorities in his executive appointments that any other president. In 1995 he delivered a speech at the National Archives that announced a five-month review of affirmative action. The newest let down to affirmative action is proposition 209 that was proposed in California that ended affirmative action to all state programs. People are saying that this Proposition will be felt everywhere. In conclusion, Secretary of Labor Elizabeth Dole stated, "Despite the growing awareness among corporate leadership of the bottom-line value and economic imperative of including minorities and women in senior corporate management progress has been disappointingly show, and barriers persist which stop able people from achieving their full employment potential."

Business Communication Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1000 words - 4
Business Communication - Essay Example A motivated team with clearly defined goals is capable of handling tough assignments effectively and efficiently. Today, people are constantly bombarded with the message that their top priority is to single handedly emerge as the best in the process forgetting the value of teamwork. Most managers ignore this vital aspect of business forgetting that without it, the company is doomed to fail as one can not work alone. Managers need to work with a group of carefully selected individuals who will complement their skills in order to achieve a specific objective to enhance efficient running of the organization. In this paper, teamwork shall be looked at in depth, the major factors that ensure the delivery of a team and factors that lead to strained relationships within a team. Teamwork is the ultimate competitive advantage because very few people properly execute it to get the best possible results. According to Accel team (2010) building a strong team remains one of the greatest hurdles managers have to overcome. Although not an impossible task, it is time consuming and needs a great deal of patience especially since human beings are inherently unmotivated. Its place in companies and the business world at large is critical and managers have to learn the art of carefully picking out members of a team and push them towards a unified direction. A team needs an assertive leader to ensure everybody carries out their work. In essence, a hands-on leader is the backbone of the team and they set the pace for the rest of the team. They need to work with diligence and ensure the completion of their end of the deal by doing their part well. They need to motivate the team, be a source of inspiration and yet be part of the team in working towards the goal. In a team every member has a role to play; they complement one another and eventually achieving success. For teamwork to succeed, each person has to realize the importance of other team players and recognize that without
