Ernest Hemingway’s suicide was foreseen by most who knew him well. During his
lifetime, he was a very well-rounded, yet seemingly unsatidfied man. He appeared to be
afraid of nothing, not even death. In fact, in many of his poems and short stories
conceited on death. His hobbies included bullfighting, big game hunting, and war, which
all included the same risk: death. Hemingway saw that he was predestined to die, and his
only hope was to face the inevitable stoically. He set colassal expectations for himself,
and he looked at himself as a failure whenever he achieved a “less than great” status.
Hemingway was very accident prone, and also inclined to become ill rather frequently.
Also, his father committed suicide in 1928 due to depression and health problems.
Hemingway was brought up in a somewhat prestigious family, and he was urged to
follow the footsteps of his parents. His mother taught him music, and made sure he was
well-educated in the arts, while his father wanted him to study medicine. His parents ran a
strict household, and disciplined his well as his other siblings. In his youth years,
Hemingway loved to go hunting and fishing and engage in war games with his friends.
When World War I began, Hemingway wanted to go fight, but his father forbade
him to. Despite his father’s wishes, he went anyway. Unfortunately, because he had less
than perfect eyesight, he was not allowed to fight. Instead he accepted a job as an
ambulance driver in Italy, where he got a first-hand look at death.
Hemingway traveled all over the world during his lifetime, writing about his
experiences and everything he saw. He married four times, his longest relationship lasting
only about twelve years. As mentioned before, Hemingway was very accident prone. In
World War I, he was hit by some Austrailian artillary and seriously injured his leg. After
numerous operations, he ended up with two hundred and twenty-seven scars on his leg.
In another incident, he was involved in a plane crash, but no one was seriously injured.
They managed to call out another plane, and as soon as it took off, it also crashed. In this
accident, he lost virtually all use of his kidneys, which resulted in extremely high blood
pressure. He was administered drugs to keep his blood pressure down, but one of the
major side effect they had on him was depression. Hemingway developed a very
withdrawn, moody personality, and often talked of suicide. His last wife, with whom he
was still married, was very concerned about him and sent him to the Mayo clinic to treat
Dr. Murray, the chief resident who arrived around 8:00pm, charted Lewis’ heart rate as normal and noteds a probable ileus; however, nursing documentation at the same time recorded a heart rate of 126 beats per minute (Monk, 2002).

They found out that he had a cerebral hemorrhage, which means he had bleeding in his brain. David Sheff shares that while in the ICU, he thought “Where is Nic? Where is Nic? Where is Nic? Where is Nic? I must call Nic” (Sheff 239). He began having delusions from the medication that he was talking to his son while trying to remember his number (Sheff 241). Instead of worrying about if he would live, and if he’d ever be able to remember his name or where he was at, Sheff just worried about Nic.

Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder which kills the brain cells, causing memory loss and cognitive decline. This leads to severe psychological impairments which changes how people think, behave and other complications such as paranoia, disorientation and unprovoked aggression.

Having completed this survey as truthfully as possible, my leadership style is deemed as that of a Participative (democratic) that leans somewhat on the Delegative (free reign) side. The Authoritarian (autocratic) score was far behind the previously mentioned two. I feel that this survey has accurately showed that I would lead with the democratic style that would encourage participation and discussions of the entire staff to create a relevant and safe workplace. If these two styles do not succeed, I would be adaptable to show and bring forth the Authoritarian side to accomplish the goals and requirements of my department. Communication and transparency are vital between staff and leadership to create cohesiveness that will enhance patient satisfaction and care. My leadership style and managing qualities are comparable and connect with that of the traits and styles of a few different management and leadership
The Great Lakes, including Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, are the largest freshwater lakes in the world, accounts for about 18% of the world 's fresh water resources. They are rich in water and other resources and the area of the Great Lakes extend more than 1200 km. The storage capacity of Great Lakes is about 23000 km3 and the surface area is around 244000 km2. Nowadays 1/10 of the Americans and a quarter of Canadians live in the lakes. Some of the world 's largest industrial center is built on here. Almost 25% of total agricultural production in Canada and 7% in the United States will yield in this area. Although the area of the lake is large, it could be affected by a wide range of pollutions

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disease which slowly destroys thinking and memory skills. These changes are severe enough to interfere with day to day life. This irreversible disease is the most common cause of dementia amongst the elderly, with an appearance of first symptoms after age 60.
Dementia is defined by the World Health Organization as a syndrome due to damage of the brain cells that most often chronic and progressive in nature. Some of the cortical functions that become impaired include memory, thinking, orientation, comprehension, calculation, learning capacity, language and judgment. Other manifestations that may accompany this disease are deterioration in emotional control, social behavior or motivation (Ouldred & Bryant, 2009) Dementia is not a normal part of aging, however it occurs most frequently in the older population. Fifteen percent of Americans over the age of sixty-five have dementia, and as the average life span continues to increase, so will the number of those affected by dementia (Fredman, James, Johnson, Scholz, & Weuve, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to discuss the pathophysiology, risk factors, symptoms, and treatment options for different types of dementia.
