Nasogastric tubes may be very scary and if they are not placed correctly they can cause serious problems. X-rays have proved to be very effective when it comes to checking the placement, but they are expensive. Studies have shown that 16-43.5% of nasogastric tubes in pediatric patients are misplaced (Farrington, M; Lang, S; Cullen, L; Stewart, S, 2013). Complications like: aspiration pneumonia pneumothorax may occur is the nasogastric tube is misplaced into the lungs (Farrington, M; Lang, S; Cullen
brand placement in movies. Brand placement is an advertising technique used by companies to promote their products through a non-traditional advertising technique, usually through appearances in film, television, or other media (Product Placement, n.d.).

Allegory and Truman Show The Allegory of the Cave has many parallels with The Truman Show. Initially, Truman is trapped in his own “cave”; a film set or fictional island known as Seahaven. Truman’s journey or ascension into the real world and into knowledge is similar to that of Plato’s cave dweller. In this paper, I will discuss these similarities along with the very intent of both of these works whose purpose is for us to question our own reality. In his Allegory Plato shows us how a man
Do you ever wonder if the students in high school are thinking about going to the next level after graduation? Its defiantly one of the best ideas to make and that’s from my own personal experience. College isn’t for everyone; we all know that saying. But what people don’t understand is how far they can grow in your dreams and careers in the future.

3A) Personally, my greatest talent or skill would have to be that of a determined progressivist towards impossible perfectionist; simply stating, being a determined progressivist allows me to make assurances of whether my assignments, applications, or any other important task are done towards completion. Whatever obstacle I face on this ever-changing path of life, I always refute the option to give in and fail. Most of those who do face these types of challenges typically give in, quit, and find

“Sorry, I can’t. I have homework.” That was the constant excuse I used in high school when my friends asked if I wanted to hang out. Junior year of high school was a rough year for me--not only was I taking six AP classes in one year, but I was also in the marching band which dominated a lot of my time. I was so invested in all of these that I forgot how to even socialize. I would negate a lot of my friends and family who wanted to gather and just spend some time with me. Now, don’t get me wrong
One of the most famous quotes from 1982 Nobel Prize-winning chemist Aaron Klug is, “Human curiosity, the urge to know, is a powerful force and is perhaps the best secret weapon of all in the struggle to unravel the workings of the natural world.” But in the modern world we live in today, where the media has become an indispensable source for information, has human curiosity been given too much power?

Her viewpoint is insufficiently supported by solely recruiting a counterexample concerning the constraints of free speech regarding the student placements, without referring to the inadequacy of formal learning as the comparison, which somewhat undermines her authority that readers believe in. However, aiming to garner the approval from readers, Friedman constructs her points of view toward the magical
