In the book ¨Blood Will Tell¨ it is about a girl who is named Marianna Chavez that went missing after knocking at a friends who is Hector, who apparently wasn't home. Marianna is only a 7- year old girl. Addition to this, there was SAR to search for the missing girl Marianna. Which SAR stand for search and rescue.

As the time passed Nick would vomit many times due to the incident of Marianna who got into conditional injuries. Including the choices he chose as being

In Blood Meridian, Cormac McCarthy describes a lawless and godless group of men ordained to cleanse the West of lesser people. This group wanders through the West leaving a trail of slaughtered people in their trail. The emptiness and ruthlessness of their hearts is reflected in the harsh and unforgiving landscape. McCarthy uses reoccurring themes of war, religion, and dance to paint a graphic picture of the savageness of life in the West.

The first type of stem cell, an embryonic stem cell, is known for being able to continuously multiply, as well as for being pluripotent. They can be “derived in vitro from the blastocyst of an embryo usually left over from in vitro fertilization” (Forraz & McGuckin, 2011, p.61). Unlike other types of stem cells, embryonic stem cells have yet to be used in any kind of clinical treatment of patients. The high risks of “immune rejection” or “teratoma formation” are serious obstacles (Harris, 2009, p.182). The second type of stem cell, adult stem cells, is primarily considered to be multipotent and may be found in “specific adult human tissues” such as the skin or bone marrow, just to name a few. Over the last twenty years, the amount of scientific research and trials using adult stem cells has grown significantly, despite their lower potency than embryonic stem cells (Forraz & McGuckin, 2011, p.61). Lastly, cord blood stem cells, are technically considered to be a special type of adult stem cell, but their youthful properties give them “greater restorative and regenerative potential.” Directly following the birth of a child, these stem cells can be collected from the blood in the umbilical cord (Steenblock & Payne, 2006, p.9). Embryonic, adult, and cord blood stem cells

The Book, My Bloody Life, the Making of a Latin King by Reymundo Sanchez is sad, horrifying and eye opening. Consequently, it makes a person think about the role of society and the social reasons or theories that can explain involvement in gangs or gang activity. I think there may be several theories used to explain involvement in gangs, but I think the best theory used to explain why there are gangs is the “control or social bond theory”. Sanchez illustrates several instances of this theory throughout his book. I will discuss some of these instances and show how they are an example of control/social bond theory.

The Young Lords started off as a gang in Chicago, until they transformed into a community based outreach program. All of the people that were in charge where teens and young adults. The young lords did what they thought was best on their part as well as for their community. Yes, on the path of doing the right thing they did break some rules and made noise to get their message across to the public. The group originally wanted to become their own claim and cry for independence. When in reality the group just wanted to pull away from the United States, but could not. In their 13 point program they wanted self-determination for their people (Puerto Ricans). They oppose on the Amerikkkan military, meaning that they do not want their young men to be involved in any war that the United States may go into. They did not just want self-determination for their own, but for other Latino groups and they asked for the liberation of the third world people and countries. They also asked to have a proper education and with that they wanted their education to have their own culture and the Spanish language. The young lords stood for their people and other people of color. They knew that unity with themselves and others was important in order for them to make any

The most commonly known gang in the area are the Bloods. According to many of the detectives in the office, they are the most vicious and most violent gangs they have ever encountered. State versus Gillens and Mercer are one of those encounters. The Bloods, or the United Blood Nation, was developed around 1972. The Crips were dominating the streets of L.A. and were battling with multiple street gangs. After a rumble with the street gang Pirus and murdering an L.A. Brim, the street gangs had enough of the Crip’s intimidation. They decided to unite all the street gangs which consisted of the Piru Street Boys in Compton, L.A. Brim, the Pueblos, the Bishops, Athens Park Boys, and the Denver Lanes. Soon enough they called their new gang the Bloods and took on the color red to show their opposition against the Crips (Savelli, 2002). In 1993, the Bloods made their way over to the East Coast and developed within the New York City jail system on Riker’s Island George Mochen Detention Center. It was formed as a means of protection for African American inmates from the Latin Kings (Savelli, 2002). Soon enough, the East Coast Bloods flooded out of the jail system and onto the streets of New York and New Jersey.

Bloodsworth described the torments he faced while confined in the Maryland prison. Other inmates would yell through the pipes, “were going to get you Bloodsworth and do to you what you did to that little girl” (2013). He described being confined to a very small cell, while being kept locked away in isolation. He eventually went on to become the prison librarian. In prison he would keep up a healthy habit of reading. One day he came across a book that a guard had passed along. It was titled The Blooding, by Joseph Wambaugh. It was in this book that he learned about DNA evidence being used to secure convictions. He also realized that DNA evidence could also be used as a tool to exonerate.

Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by, and the world as is known is changing in all perspectives. In Fahrenheit 451 the people have TV screens as walls, they create fire instead of putting it out, and they kill and burn books to entertain themselves. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury shows how the world will change in technology, the way people work, and how people are going to be entertained. The technology of the future is clearly shown in Fahrenheit 451. For example, to replace the blood of somebody they use a “machine that pumps and replaces all the blood in the body” at the same time (6).

The Blood Drive is a satirical story addressing the dangers of laissez faire gun laws and treating children as having the same capacities as adults. When you give a child a gun you’re saying you recognize them as having the same capacity for reasoning as adults. When you remove the responsibility from adults you allow them to regress to childish behavior. Blood Drive shows that a society that lacks discipline and order is doomed to chaos and tragedy.

Bloodline is an American drama television shows that is a Netflix original. It is about a family, The Rayburns who have a hotel in Florida and are having a huge part to celebrate their 45th anniversary of the opening of the hotel (“Part I,” Bloodline, Netflix, February 22 2016, 2:00 pm). The Rayburns have four kids and you can tell right away which one causes the most problems, Danny. At least from the pilot Danny was a mess and his family has to keep giving him second chances. They are tired of having to taking care of their grown brother. Bloodline mirrors a lot of what Parenti says about the television we watch which is, “Women and ethnic minorities are not really as capable, effective, or interesting as white males” (Parenti 1992, P. 2). It is also similar to Potter’s take on stereotypical portrayals.

Hemophilia is the oldest known hereditary bleeding disorder. There are two types of hemophilia, A and B (Christmas Disease). Low levels or complete absence of a blood protein essential for clotting causes both. Patients with hemophilia A lack the blood clotting protein, factor VIII, and those with hemophilia B lack factor IX. A person with severe hemophilia has less than 1% of the normal amount of a clotting factor - either Factor VIII (8) or Factor IX (9). People without hemophilia have between 50-150% of the normal level of factor VIII or IX. There are about 20,000 hemophilia patients in the United States. Each year, about 400 babies are born with this disorder. Approximately 85% have hemophilia A and the remainder has hemophilia B.

Hemophilia is a problem with the blood in a person that causes them to bleed not any faster than normal, but they often bleed for a longer period. Their blood is missing the clotting factor (a protein in the bloodstream that works to control bleeding). Hemophilia is quite rare; roughly 1 in every 10,000 persons are born with it. Rarely, hemophilia can be an acquired disease which just means a person is not born with it, but will develop it during their lifetime. This rarity occurs when a person's immune system forms antibodies that attack the clotting factor in the blood. The entire antibody population fights against the blood to prevent the clotting factors from working properly.

The Australian Red Cross Blood Service (ARCBS) has identified a long-standing issue of poor repeat blood donation from young donors, in particular males. While this group of the population has a high number of new donors, it has been found they are also the least loyal, which poses a problem for both current and future blood stocks. As a marketing consultancy firm, we have been commissioned to analyse the issues surrounding blood donation in Australia, and to devise three cost-effective marketing strategies aimed at increasing repeat donation from this demographic.
