James Eugene Carrey
The exceptional Canadian actor, Jim Carrey, has exploded onto
the movie scene in the past five years. His "comedic unpredictability"
has become his trademark in Hollywood (Hughes 28). The roles he
played in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and
Dumber have brought back the "dumb roots" back to comedy (Trakin
56). His combination of physical grace and facial contortions can make
just about anyone laugh. Even as a child in Newmarket, a suburb of
Toronto, Carrey put on his own comedy shows for family, friends, and
schoolmates.
Acting in a third-grade Christmas pageant at Blessed Trinity
School, the young Carrey stopped the show with his goofy portrayal of
Santa Claus. In the seventh grade he was allotted 15 minutes at the
end of each school day to perform for his classmates (Hughes 39).
When Jim was 14 and his father lost his job, he learned that "life offers
no assurances, so you might as well do what you're really passionate
about," as he explained to Richard Corliss of Time. These words
represent Jim's life and how he eventually became who he is today.
The whole family--Percy, Kathleen, sons Jim and John, and
daughters Pat and Rita--went to work at Titan Wheels, a tire factory in
Scarborough, Ontario. After putting in a full day at school, the children
labored all night, as assembly line workers and janitors. "At 16 Carrey
dropped out of school, his straight A's having plummeted to failing
grades under the strain of working the evening shift" ("Jim Carrey"
75). The Carreys eventually quit their factory jobs and took to living in
a Volkswagen camper. In an interview with Fred Schruers, Carrey
said, "It sounds sad but we were so much happier than we'd been
being those people we didn't like...we became living, happy, laughing
people again, people that had food fights every Sunday" (Johnston
3). In the meantime, Jim Carrey had begun his standup comedy
career, "A psychological double-edged sword that simultaneously
provided an outlet for the pressure he felt to support his family" ("Jim
Carrey" 75).
In Tennessee Williams memory play, "The Glass Menagerie," a
character named Jim O'Connor plays a gentleman caller. His high-
school years are in great contrast to Jim Carrey's high-school days.
"In high school, Jim was a hero." "He had tremendous Irish good
One of the most inspiring and instructive stories in black history is the story of how Carter G. Woodson, the father of black history, saved himself.
John Wayne Gacy was born in Chicago, Illinois on March 17 1942. Gacy had an uneventful childhood up until the age of eleven. While out playing he had been struck on the head by a swing. Subsequently he suffered fainting fits for many years.
There are many miraculous people on this planet. Some of these people have had miraculous experiences, others have accomplished miraculous success, and some people remind us of how miraculous our lives really are. Every now and then someone comes along who shows us that miracles really are possible. That was what a mentally handicapped African American boy from Anderson, South Carolina was put on this Earth to do.
The Duke takes his place in history. John Wayne, one of America’s greatest actors and directors of all time. His fame and superstardom led to many problems in his career. His image as an icon of American individualism and the frontier spirit has overshadowed his career to such an extent that it is almost impossible for the fans and writers to separate Wayne the legend from Wayne the actor and Wayne the man.
Atlantic journalist Nicholas Carr confesses that he feels something has been “tinkering with his brain.” The internet, he fears, may be messing with our minds. We have lost the ability to focus on a simple task, and memory retention is steadily declining. He is worried about the effect the internet has on the human brain, and where it may take us in the future. In response to this article, Jamais Cascio, also a journalist for the Atlantic, provides his stance on the issue. He argues that this different way of thinking is an adaptation derived from our environment. Ultimately, he thinks that this staccato way of thinking is simply a natural evolution, one that will help to advance the human race.
Unfortunately, the quality of health care in America is flawed. Information technology (IT) offers the potential to address the industry’s most pressing dilemmas: care fragmentation, medical errors, and rising costs. The leading example of this is the electronic health record (EHR). An EHR, as explained by HealthIT.gov (n.d.), is a digital version of a patient’s paper chart. It includes, but is not limited to, medical history, diagnoses, medications, and treatment plans. The EHR, then, serves as a resource that aids clinicians in decision-making by providing comprehensive patient information.

Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a digital collection of patient health information instead of paper chart that captures data at the point of collection, supports clinical decision-making and integrates data from multiple sources in any care delivery settings. The health record includes patient’s demographics, progress notes, past medical history, vital signs, medications, immunizations, laboratory data and radiology reports. National Alliance for the Health Information Technology defines EHR as, “ an electronic record of health-related information on an individual that conforms to nationally recognized interoperability standards and that can be created, managed, and consulted by authorized clinicians and staff across more
It enables healthcare organizations to monitor patient safely and care. According to IOM essential elements for an EHR are: the collection of longitudinal data on a person’s health, immediate electronic access to this information, establishment of a system that provides decision support to ensure the quality, safety, and efficiency of patient care. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, until 2015, offers incentives for physicians and other healthcare professions to adopt health IT. After that, the apt spells out penalties for noncompliance of health IT. The Office of Nation Coordinator (ONC) for Health Information Technology (HIT) is responsible for implementing the incentives and penalties program. The ONC has been working to create ‘meaningful use’ guidelines for physicians and others that will help them receive incentive payments and avoid penalties in the future” (Niles, 2015, page 261).
He knew that if he didn’t sell drugs he would’ve been just like his father, and he certainly didn’t want that. His Aunt Neicey told him that “either get a job or go to school,…but neither is not an option”. Though Wes couldn’t go through with school, he still tried, though he couldn’t find a “real” job he still tried, and even though selling drugs isn’t a real job, he is still out trying to make a dollar to do what is right. My dad told me that I had to get a job and it didn’t matter if I was in school or not, because he had to work while he was in school, and so did my mom. I struggled so much trying to keep up with my AP English work, Teacher Cadet, Spanish, and the other cluster of responsibilities I took on my 12th grade year, but it was what I had to do. Honestly, I must admit that once I finally got it under control it felt pretty good to make my own money, and pay for my own stuff as an “Independent”, well “Semi-Independent” young woman should.
He looks for a father because his own father is not a factor in his life. He dies when Jim is a young child and does not seem to have a significant effect on Jim’s life. Ben Gunn, Dr. Livesey, and John Silver provide Jim with examples and characteristics he incorporates into the person he becomes. Jim, like many others, finds father figures to identify with and pattern their own lives, whether it is a blood relative or a person they choose from their surroundings. Ben Gunn is the character in the book that shows Jim Hawkins how to survive, provide spiritual guidance, and be proud of who he is.
Studies have implied that, healthcare professionals who practice clinical features through EHR were far more likely provide better preventive care than were healthcare professionals who did not. (page 116). From 2004, EHR has initiated, even the major priority of President Obama’s agenda is EHR (Madison & Stagger, 2011). Health care administration considers EHR as the introduction of advanced technology which can improve patient satisfaction are can increase the financial incentives of the healthcare organization. Studies have pointed out that the federal policy is proposed to transform all medical records into EHR (Hebda & Calderone, 2010).
Throughout the tragic tale, the troubled young Oedipus is faced with many opportunities to give in to fate and throw his life away- all of which he accepted and executed proudly. After having been informed of his undesirable fate, the young man finds himself at a crossroads, pestered by another traveler. In a blinding flash of rage, Oedipus murdered the very man he was trying to avoid, as he later recounts to his wife and mother, “My stick had struck him backwards from the car and he rolled out of it. And then I killed them all”. While fully aware of the possibility that he may know not the true identity of his parents, he was not at all concerned that he may fulfill his prophecy in any violent act he commits. Oedipus took the prophecy seriously enough to uproot his life and leave his home in Corinth, but not seriously enough to even attempt to take up a life of pacifism. His misplaced efforts placed before him a choice between a bruised sense of self worth and uncalled for brutality, his inability to discern the difference between a necessary evil and an absurd liability lead him to begin fulfilling his prophecy. Since first discovering the foul outcome the divine had planned for him, Oedipus was disgusted with the thought of marrying and taking to bed his mother, but in a moment of excitement and thoughtlessness he mar...
