Catherine has changed throughout the book, Catherine Called Birdy because she changed her perspective and self centered personality after having interactions and a change in perspective. For example, the text states, “Thomas says the king, still on his way to London with the queen does not weep but rides with a face of stone, so deeply does he grieve. I wonder if mother of the two boy bandits hanged at Wooton grieves for them. I find I prefer fairs and feasts to hangings.” (Cushman 50) This quote states how Catherine has undergone major changes in the book Catherine Called Birdy she started off in the story being self-centered, spoiled, and bratty.

As we learned in class last week, victimless crime can be one of many things. Victimless crime is defined as a crime taking place where there are no harmful injuries done from one person to another.

Some examples of a victimless crime are, Drug use, prostitution, gambling, suicide, traffic citations and trespassing.

We are seeing an increase in the number of people who are dying from overdoses, predominantly after abuse of prescribed opioid analgesics. This disturbing trend appears to be associated with a growing number of prescriptions in and diversion from the legal market.

In 2014 the death of people who died from drug overdoses is 47,055 which is a lot. Opioid drug overdose is up 200% from 2000. Opioids is an issue that many different people are working on. Opioids are substances that act on opioid receptors to produce morphine-like effects. They can most likely be found in pain relievers. Some natural opioids might be known by you.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) (2013) reported that U.S. prescription drugs, especially opioids analgesics, have been increasingly involved in drug overdose deaths. Unfortunately, drug overdose deaths from prescription drugs, especially opioids analgesics outnumbered deaths related to motor vehicle accidents back in 2009. Actually, in 2010 only, 16,651 deaths were connected to opioids overdose, an increase of 60 percent of overdose losses from any other drug class, prescribed or illegal. Specifically, in Florida, the attorney general of Florida (2012) stated that an average of seven Floridians die every day as a result of overdose from prescription drugs, which is five times greater than losses from the use of all illegal drugs put together.

I found the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth very interesting in the play. In Act I they are completely devoted to each other. Love, respect and trust are the contents of their relationship. The trust in the relationship is revealed right at the beginning when Macbeth sends his wife a letter telling her about the witches and the predictions “This have I thought good to deliver to thee, my dearest partner of greatness, that thee mightst not lose the dues of rejoicing by being ignorant of what greatness is promised thee.” (I, v, 10-13). The affection between the two is clearly shown when Macbeth salutes his wife with “My dearest love” (I, v, 58) and also on the

Objective Misuse, abuse, and diversion of prescription drugs is a large and growing public health problems that have resulted in an overdose epidemic.( Hirsch) Drug overdose is an important, yet an inadequately understood, public health problem. There has been a substantial increase in drug overdose incidence and prevalence in several countries worldwide over the past decade, contributing to both increased costs and mortality. Most studies on longitudinal trends of overdose deaths or overdose-related hospitalizations showed increases across time. An overall trend of increasing deaths from prescription opioid use and decreasing deaths from illicit drug use in the past several years has been noted across most of the literature. (Martins) Deaths from prescription opioids in the USA have increased over the last decade in parallel with an increase in prescribing of opioids for pain.(Weisberg)

My article is on the rising rates of drug overdose deaths in rural areas. These rates are supposedly surpassing the rates in metropolitan areas. I was shocked when I read that drug overdoses are the leading cause of injury death in the US, approximately 52,000 deaths, this shocked me because there has been a lot of shootings and murders recently in the US, as well. So, with drugs keeping the top spot, I believe we, the united states, need to be stricter on the use of drugs. Also, those who need treatment, should be able to receive these treatments no matter their socio-economic level. In my opinion, drugs are so common in today’s life but there is not a lot of education on the affects they have on us and when you should stop, which is why so

Opioid drugs are some of the most widespread pain medications that we have in this country; indeed, the fact is that opioid analgesic prescriptions have increased by over 300% from 1999 to 2010 (Mitch 989). Consequently, the number of deaths from overdose increased from 4000 to 16,600 a year in the same time frame (Mitch 989). This fact becomes even more frightening when you think about today; the annual number of fatal drug overdoses in the Unites States now surpasses that of motor vehicle deaths (Alexander 1865). Even worse, overdose deaths caused by opioids specifically exceed those attributed to both cocaine and heroin combined (Alexander 1865).

Vaccinating a child can be a very scary decision to make. There are so many possible outcomes as to what could happen. People have argued for years whether vaccinations save lives or destroy them.
