Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Bernie. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bernie~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:28, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Common Ailements of the Skeletal System Injuries usually affect the joints. When body movement are beyond the flexibility limits of the bones,discomfort is experienced.

1. Dislocation results in the displacement of bone ends from the joints. It can be caused by hard falls or excessive physical movements. Sudden stretching, twisting or jerking may also result in dislocation. For any dislocation, apply cold - compress. Seek the physical therapist's advice or other medical practitioners to apply treatment. If pain worsen, go to a nearby hospital for examination and x-ray.

2. Sprains commonly affects the ankles,wrists,shoulders,knees,and hips. The affected area usually becomes painful as it swells. It is caused by over strained bone joints or too much exertion of force when carrying heavy objects. Walking, long standing on high - heeled shoes or uncomfortable footwear, and sudden falls may also cause sprains. Injury is usually on the ligaments and tendons.

3. Sprain is applied with cold - compress to relieve the pain. When sprain occurs apply cold - compress on the affected area. The sprained part may be place on a comfortable position. If swelling does not subside wet and warm - compress should be applied. Sprained part should be rested for one or two weeks. Or clean bandage will be used. If pain and swelling do not subside go to a nearby hospital for examination and x - ray.

4. A fracture is a broken bone.A wound may be present at the fractured area. Sometimes it has no open wound and is always accompained by severe pain. The area is swollen very tendon and usually deformed. I am open fractured bone may be seem, through the cut.A splint is used immobilize and support the injured part.A splint may be a lightweight piece of wood or any material that is not brittle tied to the injury using strips of cloth.

5. Spinal curvature may be any of three kyphosis (hanchback), lordsis, or scolious. Many cases of curvature are caused by long continued faulty posture and lack of exercise.

Considering the requirements and formation of a separate chapter for passing methods, shouldn't that content on this page be shifted there and replaced by something simpler. Atishay811 18:35, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Changes to Prototypes section
Made numerous changes to the "Prototypes" section, notably: Autumnfields 21:41, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Changed to "declarations" since that's what they are called in the C++ spec, not prototypes
 * Removed the line about main being the first function by convention. That's not a universal convention

Dude! I saw that, big story! Amandavanpoucke

Week 8 Assessment
This is looking excellent right now. I believe Flynn is still going to add some content, and I see Elena already added a piece at the top about Bulgaria (I wonder if that could be made slightly longer, with more descriptions. What did the factory look like/smell like? What is it like to work there, or be denied work there? etc. "Day in the Life" stuff).

Beyond that, it sounds like you have some plans for the format, which I'm interested to see unfold. There are a few paragraphs at the end, right before the Reference section, which may not belong anymore.

Then, start editing!
 * Great work. Stevenarntson

PAPER IS POSTED
I transfered the paper to the main page so from this point on all new editing needs to be done to that copy..... Thank you!! Harry Caldwell 8-24 10:50pm

Still looking at other stuff though, tech, privacy, etc. We'll talk more Monday. It's important that we get sure of something as soon as possible so we can get to researching.Amandavanpoucke

Are you talking about americorps?, I couldn't find much on them except what was on their site and wikipedia. I think your right that we need to just talk in class, not everyone is on this discussion yet. Flynn Joffray

No, Im talking about the industry itself, companies like Walmart. Here is a link to a very interesting article.]Amandavanpoucke

HAHA now it makes sense. I just searched for american corps in google and found americore... im down to do something on corporations, we should talk about it more in class. Flynn Joffray

 * Actually, Americorps would be an interesting aspect of a discussion on American Corporations!
 * Stevenarntson

Yea I'm still very interested in the technology and privacy issue but if everyone agrees to the Corporate America topic...then I still think we should make some ties to the social class issues then I would be happy.

Also I am interested in the way these coroporations affect the social class system. Cool...goodbye for now...still researching! Joshmaldonado

I think it could be a good idea to outline what kind of stuff we are thinking of and what we want to do with it, in kind of a rough sense. In this section, I'm going to make a little area so we can all start doing that, and it wont have to be on the main page. Then when we are ready, we can just copy and paste stuff to the main group page! Also, this could be a good place to keep your information and let everyone see what you've been up to?

'''To clarify, I am writing about the effects of advertising/marketing from corporations on society. This falls into our main category: SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. Here is some rough writing with some citations and statistics. This is how my part will start: '''

Corporations, or any sort of business for that matter, need to advertise in order to create acquisition. It is obvious that certain companies plan their advertising in a negative fashion, by taking advantage of the consumer or such tactics, in order to gain profit. In many cases, unfortunately, it’s out of control. However, to qualify this argument against negative advertising tactics, it’s important to note the benefits of advertising in general.

Back in the early 1980’s (which I am going to call “the old days” and by that I mean pre-internet advertising) an experiment was conducted to test the effects of public price advertising on beer sales. A few areas in the Lower Michigan area were considered and the month that advertising took place grew the companies units sold by close to one hundred thousand gallons in each area. (Lee, 522) There are many situations in which companies will advertise positive messages like lower prices, reliability and hidden needs targeting that are both beneficial to the company and the consumer. Our nation has spent about $412 billion in advertising annually according to an article by Outsell Inc. And now with the internet, advertisers have much more access to the nation. To push things even further, the mobile revolution has hit the streets and $1.4 billion dollars have been spent on display and message advertising on cell phones. It can be overwhelming, but in a cutthroat, super competitive society it is the only way that many companies are staying afloat. But where does the social responsibility come in for Corporate America? We know that corporations need advertising to survive, but at what cost to the nation?

HERE IS SOME MORE ON MY TOPIC STILL WRITING...WILL HAVE MORE BY END OF DAY

In the United States, the APA (American Psychological Association) created a task force to target young children and how advertising affects them. They discovered that children around the age of 8 and under are not able to comprehend the fact that advertisements are not always “truthful, accurate and unbiased” (apa.com). Furthermore the average kid watches more than 40,000 TV commercials a year. Steven Manning, a writer who focuses on schoolhouse commercialism, states that by the time your kid is between fourteen and eighteen months they will be nagging you for toys or snack foods every four hours. Large corporations have always targeted youth as a huge source for profitable gain. How can you say no to those beautiful little eyes? “He alone who owns the youth, gains the future” This is a quote by none other than Adolf Hitler. Greenpeace, Truth and other organizations have always targeted college and high school students for their passion and energy. But at what age does the comprehension begin to decide whether or not to support a certain organization or buy a certain product. “40% of sales of jeans, burgers and other products occur because a child asks for the product” (ihc 27).

I need some examples in this previous paragraph before final draft comes...

Women are another prime target for negative advertising. The most common way that advertisers use to target women is their sex appeal. There is a growing demand for women to be super sexy and super thin. In order to achieve these high demands they must buy the most expensive makeup and get on the latest diet trends. The dietary industry brings over $33 million annually. Women are exposed to about 400-600 ads every day. What’s worse is the fact that most people in marketing do not directly insult the female image. These messages are designed to slip under the normal limits of our minds perception and land directly into our subconscious. Unfortunately this form of advertising is much more obvious and effective than a direct message. Young women and even adolescents are frequently targeted the most.

What is corporation? Technically speaking, a corporation is what Peter Thayer Robbins author of “Greening the Corporation: Management Strategy and the Environmental Challenge” describes as a “social invention of the state” (Robbins: p.98) When, a state grants a corporate license, permitting private financial resources being used for public purposes. The advantage of having a corporation over being an individual investing in trade journey is that an individual’s debts could be present at birth by descendants.

The biggest turn of the corporations being “good” to being “bad” is when the Supreme Court ruled in 1886, that a private corporation is a natural person under the U.S. Constitution, and consequently has the same rights and protection extended to persons by the Bill of Rights, including the right to free speech. Furthermore, corporations were given the same “rights” to influence the government in their own interests as to individual citizens, and to use their wealth to dominate public opinions.

In the book, Capitalism and Freedom, the author argues that “there is one and only one social responsibility of business—to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits” even if that contradict with the social good. This theory is appealing for many companies; larger ones in particular are often involved in exploitative practices of some sort, sometimes through sub-contractors. With companies increasing financial influence, come increasing financial powers in the political arena and influence politicians in their favor. Corporate bodies can “donate” millions of dollars to political candidates, and that is legal entity? In some countries is called corruption, where here is called sponsorship. Corporations, as “persons,” are free to lobby legislatures, use the mass media and all that in the interest of free speech. A common analysis is that advanced economies have often moved their “more dirty industries” to other parts of the world where there are less severe environmental and social standards. As a result, other countries may be polluting on their behalf. Now more and more corporations are turning “green”, which means are more environmentally cautions. Microsoft Corporation for example, are developing new software to reduce the energy consumption and reducing the need of business travel with the help of virtual meetings and safe document transfer. All these factors are part of the so-called Corporate Social Responsibility. The Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative is an organization to Harvard Kennedy School, which seeks to study and enhance the effectiveness of corporate social responsibility. That organization defines the Corporate Social Responsibility strategically. “Corporate social responsibility encompasses not only what companies do with their profits, but also how they make them. It goes beyond philanthropy and compliance and addresses how companies manage their economic, social, and environmental impacts, as well as their relationships in all key spheres of influence: the workplace, the marketplace, the supply chain, the community, and the public policy realm”.

 * Corporate responsibility is somewhat of an oxymoron to the ears and eyes of a significant portion of the population. Corporate interests in most minds reside solely in profit for shareholders. The ford vs dodge case in 19.?? established a clear precedent to bolster this viewpoint. in recent years the markets have crashed and bubbles have burst leaving many with worthless investments and little else to show for them. Still there are examples of corporations that are leading the way to a new future where profit are in harmony with environmental protections and sustainable products. One such corporation is Herman Miller furniture based in Holland Michigan.

My family has been intimately involved with herman miller for since its founding in 193?. As residents of Holland they watched as the factory was built and sent their sons to work on the assembly line. During this time they witnessed a clear vision of a business plan that was years ahead of its time. The founder Dirk J. Depree made a clear statement in 1949 that “ Herman Miller shall be a good steward to the environment”. This statement was made out of religious convictions that Mr. DePree developed as a Baptist minister in the neighboring town of Zealand. It was his belief that taking care of gods green earth was of paramount importance and that all other efforts would be in vain if gods creations were polluted or destroyed for the sake of profit. Charles and Rae Eames shared this vision and when they joined the design team in 194? Charles described the ideal set of product design constraints that meets the specific needs of three critical components. 1. The needs of the company (Is it profitable?) 2. The needs of the Community (are the workers and community taken care of?) 3. The needs of the environment (do the products and process enhance the environment?) Finding a design synergy between these three needs provides products that will solve problems, generate profits and protect the planet.

This vision led the way for a goal towards truly sustainable manufacturing that not only incorporates products designed for minimal material usages but factories that better the surrounding environment and the people who work within them. LEED Certification is the current standard that new “green Buildings” are judged by. herman miller was extensively involved in formulating what defined architecture as sustainable. They took it upon themselves to research and develop standards that were then submitted to government regulatory boards and eventually developed into the LEED standards. In this way the corporation was self aware and responsible for its impacts and made the findings public to lead by example.

Herman Millers corporate plan to be environmental stewards and honest with the products that they produce, created a vision of the corporation that my family still holds on to. Unfortunately this corporate model is not widespread yet my family finds it difficult to believe that other companies would behave otherwise. This has made debate on corporate desires for greed, very difficult to convey as they see big business as a beneficial entity that need not be regulated because the company they relate to most regulates itself very well. why add regulations or increase taxes for doing the right thing? their view is that one should be rewarded with less taxes if a company is strong and doing its part by helping others to be self aware. I have voiced on may occasions that i felt that the american corporate control in government is hurting our efforts to be a the best we can be. Regulators of industry should not be industry insiders and board big whigs. i can cite several examples of industry dictating the rules they should follow.

The concerns of government and business marriage are vast and with lobbyists outnumbering elected officials in Washington, it is clear that they are nearly inseparable. governmental regulations of industry have in large part been written by the very companies that the regulations are meant to affect.

 * Corporate morals

If the corporation is to be acknowledged as an individual under US law one should look at the aspects of the individuals conduct in modern free societies. What rules does the individual live by in order to keep a sustainable and happy existence? What penalties are incurred if the individual disobeys these rules and guidelines? how does morality play into the daily activities of the individual? what drives us to follow a moral code?

Corperations exist as artificial persons under us law. artifcial persons cannot vote or hold office however they do have rights of free speach and of due process they can be sued and sue the same as a natural person.

All Natural people need food and water to survive and most individuals rely on money to acquire these items of sustenance. The basic human necessities have parallels in the situation faced by corporations in search of survival. raw materials for maurfacturing, new and existing customers to service providers are some basic needs in addition to raw capital for financial transactions The moral implication is in the methods of acquisition of these limited resources. Laws are written  but one cannot imprison a corporation the same as an Actual person

Week 8 Assessment
As we discussed, I'd like to see further fleshing out of content before editing begins. Here's the recap of what we talked about yesterday:

 * 1) Open with some of the personal reflections we discussed--I thought Chad's piece sounded especially strong.
 * 2) Move the section on Africa up, and include some discussion of why the birth rate there is less of a concern than it might first appear. Check out NationMaster to see if any good statistics can be found.
 * 3) Add a personal story to the section on China.
 * 4) Fill out the source list at the end.
 * 5) Complete the global solutions section, which currently contains no content.

Once these items are finished, you'll be ready to start editing. Please work as fast as you can at this point on finishing up the content, as time is running short.

 * Best, Stevenarntson

Hello Team Death! Just a few things to keep in mind...our topic is on Population Control. So lets do a little digging on:

 * History of P.C.
 * How they did it
 * Why we need it now
 * Methods of P.C. in our day
 * Watch Gattaca

Borakim

population article though this article was pretty interesting talking about population with different countries. It also gives other sites as well that talk about population control. JessicaRussell

 * Hi group 1,

I think I mentioned in class that once upon a time I had a group look into this topic, and I wanted to let you know where their paper resides, which is here. Take a look at their conclusions and sources, and use them as you see fit (but do cite them) as the quarter continues!
 * Best, Stevenarntson

Since I am doing the China part, I found some article on how china control their population. A big part of it is "one-child" policy.
 * China Population Control
 * China's One Child Policy
 * the government has advocated a onechild limit for both rural and urban areas
 * this policy is not worked on minority nationalities (people there can have two children per couple)
 * no limit for ethnic groups with very small populations
 * the goal of this policy is: to keep the total population within 1.2 billion through the year 2000
 * also talked about: this rule has caused a disdain for female infants

Sandychao

Here's some of the info I've got for Africa

Africa’s population is being controlled by disease, war, poverty, lack of education, and natural deaths. ‘With the birth rate at 38 births per 1,000 people and the death rate is 14 deaths per 1,000 people,’ which means there population is going to grow a good amount with in the next few years. The panel on growth on population in Africa says by 2050 that Africa’s population will reach 1.7 billion people and as of 2006 Africa’s population was 767 million people. Africa has only 11% of the world’s population and with a 75% of HIV and AIDS of the world’s populations it is one of things that is killing off their people at a going rate. Which has already killed over 25million people and counting since November 2000. The first dated records from 1502 Africans have been taken from their homelands and being shipped all over. Of course not all of them had made it to where they were sold. Which had an impact on Africa’s population. War has another part of Africa’s population control with men and young boys fighting the wars, and wars within the country. A man said that he “could just begin to fight and shoot down and killed civilians because they weren’t his people.”

JessicaRussell

I haven't got much on Europe, but here's what I have so far:

Not every country has issues with population control. Most of the countries in Europe are more concerned with the global populaiton control issue than with their own countries. The one exception is the UK. The politicians there are considering the possibility of enacting a two-child policy, like the one-child policy currently in place in China. This is due in part to the drastic increas in the population in the South East of England.

Jasontraversie

Like most of the world the Middle East saw a rise in population growth in the 1950’s following WW2. The population of the entire region grew from 92 million to 349 million people over the course of 50 years. This increase was promoted by the rapid decline of death rates, better infant and maternal care, and a higher ratio of physician to population. In 2000 we saw a shift and the rate of growth slowed greatly. This transition is a factor of easier access to contraceptives and further educating the public.

Borakim

Hello everyone, here is my rough writing on China part!!!

In 1950 The China government attempted to prevent China from being overpopulated. The attempt at controlling the population did not succeed as no one followed the policy. In mid-1970, the Chinese government had a policy for all family in China, stating that each family or each couple could not have more than two children in urban areas and three to four in the rural areas.

The population rose incredibly in 1979, Deng Xiaoping of China established the one-child policy and the policy was able to control China's population growth. The one-child policy applied to all Chinese citizens living in rural and urban areas. As of 1986, the policy formally allowed two children per couple and three in special circumstances. Ethnic groups with small populations are not being confined with the one-child policy.

Under the one-child policy, the Chinese government rewarded those who appreciated the policy. For instance, a family that was given a "one-child certificate" issued by the government was entitled to some cash bonuses, longer maternity leave, better child care, and preferential housing assignments. As a whole, the rural population constitutes 60 percent of the population in China. Success or failure of controlling the problem of over-population depends highly on the rural population. On a lighter note the urban population tends to follow the one-child policy even without state intervention because of economic and time constrains.

Although the one child policy is very successful in contolling overpopulation in comparison to the 1960s and 1970s, but the one-child policy degrades females in general. Within Chinese traditions, older generation favors male more than female. They see females with less ability in all kinds of work and they would eventually marry and move out of the family.

Self Assessment
ok, so this is the first time i have visited this page... anyways

As i shared with you in class i think that more work could have been done on my part, in terms of being able to produce more content. i liked the topic and i thought that it was very interesting; however, i felt that i could not "go off" as much as i wanted to. Since the grades of others were riding on the project i was contributing to, i did not want to make the paper seem unprofessional at that one spot in the paper.

i believe that communication could have been better between the group, as i often did not receive an e-mail or wiki comment about much of anything i posted, asked, or brought up. i also believe that in some way, the project did not seem as important to us as other projects for other classes, so we did not put as much effort into it as we should have.

Other than that, i am really starting to get into wiki, i think it is really useful and while it took me a while to figure out how to use it (several weeks) i think it will come in handy sometime in the future. i might even give my opinion on future analytical writing groups' discussions.

As a whole, i loved the class and i especially liked being able to talk about political, social and environmental issues.

In outline form, if i were the teacher:

1. make the groups smaller (2-3 people in each group)

2. make the students far more forceful in terms of their solutions, encourage them to be "offensive"

3. put more emphasis on using wiki
