An Encounter

#### Casual Encounter Jargon 101 An abundance of acronyms are used in personal ads, and while it is difficult to imagine a sophisticated female using shorthand in her quest for a genuinely NSA (no strings attached) hookup, it does happen. That said, a Vegas W4M (women for men) ad littered with acronyms and coming off as too attention-seeking should be regarded as suspect. Assuming such an ad was placed by a Vegas call girl is not off-base at all. One of the clearest ways to spot a working girl is

that might have not been a concern, but with the increase in specialization and competition, most providers are aware of the need for superior customer service. First impressions develop quickly after the initial encounter. In addition, a customer will remember that initial encounter throughout the rest of the experiences

someone is an elderly person whose skin is easily torn and wounds do not quickly heal. The last obstacle, and probably the biggest, is when she encounters a young hunter with his dog on a chain. He approaches her asking what she is doing. I get the feeling because Phoenix is an elderly, African-American woman, she is not comfortable with the encounter with the armed hunter possibly because he is probably white and has a dog. She overcomes this obstacle by standing firm and rebutts0 his comment

as critters are always connected to us. From this multispecies perspective becoming-with can be understood as a dance with encounters, a “much richer web to inhabit” (Haraway, 2008, p. 19), where becomings are openings to different forms of responding and coexisting with all earthly life species, with different companions. To “knot companion and species together in encounter, in regard and respect, is to enter the world of becoming with, where and what are is precisely what is at stake” (Haraway

One difference is the length of the chart. Inpatient charts contains information regarding the current inpatient visit and documentation for all of the events of that encounter. The outpatient chart has the same information but over the course of multiple visits for once specific outpatient facility. The “automation of [both inpatient and outpatient health records] clinical, financial, and administrative transactions is essential to improve quality, preventing errors, enhancing consumer confidence

What is hooking up? According to a study in “Hooking Up” by Kathleen Bogle, she notes that hooking up is “when a girl and a guy get together for a physical encounter and don’t necessarily expect anything further” (Bogle 2). Hooking up, which has increased dramatically since the early 2000s, occurs between two young adults, most commonly on college campuses all over the country. While some believe that it is an innocuous pairing between two young adults, I strive to argue that the hook up culture

promotion of healthy lifestyles, research for disease and injury prevention, detection and control of infectious diseases, or changes in public policy.1 The patient-provider encounter is an important point of access between the patient population and the healthcare system and other healthcare resources.2 During this encounter, conversations around health education and prevention, in addition to delivery of immediate care, can take place. When it becomes evident that populations are failing to receive

LANGUAGE AND CULTURE SESSION TEN LANGUAGE AND POWER (2): POWER BEHIND DISCOURSE Main points in this session: 1. Power behind discourse: Standard language 2. Power behind discourse: discourse types as ‘effects of power’ 3. Power and access to discourse The idea of ‘power behind discourse’ is that the whole social order of discourse is put together and held together as a hidden effect of power. Fairclough (1989) = three aspects of ‘power behind discourse’, i.e. of hidden effects of power:

night, he kisses his wife goodbye and embarks on a journey which he believed neither his father, nor his father before him had ever gone on. Goodman embarks on a night journey through the forest, which can be symbolic to the journey of life. He encounters numerous people and events that have dramatic effects on the rest of his life. As Goodman leaves his wife and home, he turns for one last look at her, “peeping after him with a melancholy air, in spite of her pink ribbons” (Hawthorn, page 1132)

about women and sexuality deemed sexual passion a negligible, even improper, aspect of women's lives. Yet Chopin boldly addresses a woman's sexual desire in her short story "The Storm". This story shockingly details a torrid extramarital sexual encounter between Calixta and Alcee` in the midst of a raging storm. While this story line could have been presented in a traditional light, perhaps as a lesson about the evils of uninhibited female sexuality, Chopin maintains a non-judgmental stance by refraining
