The Return: Midnight Chapter 27

Stefan whirled around and saw Bonnie, with only a towel wrapped around her, trying to physical y restrain Elena, who was similarly clad. Elena's hair was wet and uncombed. Something had caused her to leap out of the bathing pool and run directly into the corridor. Stefan was surprised by Damon's reaction. Was that a spark of alarm in the endlessly dark eyes that had remained impassive watching a thousand disasters, calamities, cruelties? No, it couldn't be. But it certainly looked like one. Elena was getting closer. Her voice rang out clearly through the hal way, which was spacious enough to give it a slight echo. â€Å"Damon! I see you! You wait right there – I'm coming to kill you! â€Å" This time the flicker was unmistakable. Damon glanced at the window, which was partly open. Meanwhile Bonnie had lost the fight and Elena was running like a gazel e toward the office. Her eyes, however, were definitely not doe-like. Stefan saw them glitter dangerously as Elena herself eluded him – mainly because he didn't dare grab her by the towel, and every other part of her was slippery. Elena was now facing Damon, who had risen from his chair. â€Å"How could you?†she cried. â€Å"Using Bonnie like that – Influencing her, drugging her – al to get at what didn't belong to you! Using almost al the Power that was left in Misao's star bal – what did you think Shinichi would do when you did that? He came after us, that's what he did – and who knows if the boardinghouse is Stillstanding?† Damon opened his mouth, but Elena wasn't finished. â€Å"And then to bring Bonnie to the Dark Dimension with you – I don't care if you didn't want to waste opening the Gate or not. You knew you shouldn't be taking her here.† Damon was angry now. â€Å"I – â€Å" But Elena cut him off without even hesitating. â€Å"Then once you drag her here you abandon her. You leave her terrified, alone, in a room where she's not even al owed to look out of the window, with a col ection of star bal s that you don't even bother to examine – but which are completely unsuitable and give her nightmares! You – â€Å" â€Å"If the little dolt had just had the sense to wait quietly – â€Å" â€Å"What? What did you say? â€Å" â€Å"I said, if the little dolt had just had the sense – â€Å" Stefan, who was already on the move, shut his eyes briefly. He opened them again in time to see the slap and to feel Elena putting al her Power into it. It snapped Damon's head around. What astonished him – even though he positioned himself precisely in case of it – was to see Damon's hand flash up as quick as a cobra's strike. There was no fol ow-through, but Stefan had already picked Elena up bodily and pul ed her back out of range. â€Å"Let go!†Elena cried, struggling to get out of Stefan's arms, or at least get her feet on the ground. â€Å"I'm going to kill him!† The next astonishing thing – discontinuing the raw fury that Stefan could feel coursing through Elena's aura – was that Elena was actual y winning the struggle, despite the fact that he was orders of magnitude stronger than she was. Part of it had to do with the towel, which was threatening to drop at any moment. The other part was that Elena had acquired a unique style of fighting stronger opponents – at least those with any conscience. She deliberately threw herself against any point at which it would hurt her to restrain her, and she didn't give up. Eventual y he was going to have to choose between injuring her and letting her go. At that moment, however, Elena stopped moving. She froze, head turned as she looked behind him. Stefan glanced backward too, and felt an electrical shock shoot through him. Bonnie was standing directly behind them, looking at Damon, her lips parted in anguish, tears in her wide brown eyes and streaming down her cheeks. Instantly, even before he could register Elena's pleading glance, Stefan released her. He understood: Her mood and the dynamics of this situation had just been turned upside down. Elena adjusted her towel and turned to Bonnie, but by then Bonnie was running away down the corridor. Elena's longer strides al owed her to reach Bonnie in a moment and she caught the smal er girl and held her, not so much by force as by sisterly magnetism. â€Å"Don't worry about that snake, â€Å"Elena's voice came back to them clearly, as it was obviously meant to. â€Å"He's a – â€Å"And here Elena indulged in some very creative cursing. Stefan could hear al of it distinctly and noticed that it broke off into tiny hushing sounds just as Elena turned into the door of the bathing salon. Stefan glanced sideways at Damon. He didn't mind fighting his brother in the least right now; he was ful of rage himself on behalf of Bonnie. But Damon ignored him as if he were part of the wal paper, staring at nothing with an expression of icy fury. At that moment Stefan heard a faint sound from the farthest end of the corridor, which was quite a distance away. But his vampire senses informed him that surely the person in front was a woman of consequence, probably their hostess. He stepped forward so that at least she could be greeted by someone who was wearing clothing. However, at the last moment, Elena and Bonnie appeared in front of him, clad in dresses – gowns, rather – that were both casual and works of genius. Elena's was an informal robe of deep lapis blue, with her hair drying into a soft golden mass around her shoulders. Bonnie was wearing something shorter and lighter: pale violet, shot with threads of silver in no particular pattern. Both outfits, Stefan grasped suddenly, would look as good in the interminable sunlight as in a closed room with no windows and gas lamps. He remembered the stories Elena had told about Lady Ulma designing gowns for her, and he realized that whatever else his hostess might be, she was truly a genius couturier. And then Elena was running, dainty gold sandals flying, and Bonnie's silver slippers were fol owing and Stefan began to run too, fearing some unknown danger. They al arrived at the far end of the hal way at the same time, and Stefan saw that the woman standing there was dressed even more splendidly than the girls. She was wearing a deep red raw silk gown with a heavy diamond-and-ruby necklace and ring – but no bracelets. The next minute the girls were both curtseying, deep, graceful curtseys. Stefan made his best bow. Lady Ulma held out both hands to Elena, who seemed to be almost frantic over something that Stefan didn't understand. Elena took the extended hands, breathing quickly and shal owly. â€Å"Lady Ulma – you're so thin – â€Å" Just then the babbling of a baby could be heard. Elena's face lit up and she smiled at Lady Ulma, letting out a quick breath. A young servant – even younger-looking than Bonnie – gently put a tiny bundle made of lace and sheerest lawn into Lady Ulma's arms. Both Elena and Bonnie blinked away tears, al the while beaming at the child and making little nonsense noises. Stefan could understand that – they'd known the Lady since she was a whip-torn slave, trying not to miscarry. â€Å"But how – ?†Elena began spluttering. â€Å"We saw you only a few days ago, but this baby is months old – â€Å" â€Å"A few days? Is that how long it seems to you?†asked Lady Ulma. â€Å"To us, it has been many months. But the magic Stillworks, Elena! Your magic remained! It was an easy delivery – easy! And then Dr. Meggar says that you saved me before she suffered injury from the abuse I went through. She is trying to speak already! It is you, Elena, it is your magic!† At this the Lady made a movement as if to kneel at Elena's feet. She got no farther than a few inches, though, because Elena caught her hands, crying, â€Å"Lady Ulma, no!†while Stefan, at his best speed, slipped beside the girl servant and caught the Lady by her elbows, supporting her weight. â€Å"And I'm not magic,†Elena added. â€Å"Stefan, tel her that I'm not magic.† Obediently, Stefan leaned toward the ear of the tal woman. â€Å"Elena is the most magic I've ever encountered,†he stage-whispered. â€Å"She has Powers that I can't even understand.† â€Å"Ahh!† Elena made a wordless exclamation of frustration. â€Å"Do you know what I'm naming her?†the Lady continued. Her face, if not conventional y beautiful, was striking, with an aristocratic combination of Roman nose and high cheekbones. â€Å"No.†Elena smiled – and then â€Å"No!†Elena cried. â€Å"Please! Don't condemn her to a life of expectations and terror. Don't tempt anyone to hurt her while she's Stilla child. Oh, Lady Ulma!† â€Å"But my dear savior†¦Ã¢â‚¬  Then Elena began to manage things. Once she took a situation in hand there was no way not to go with the flow of it. â€Å"Lady Ulma,†she said clearly, â€Å"forgive me for interfering in your affairs. But Bonnie has told me – â€Å"She stopped, hesitated. â€Å"Of the troubles of strong and hopeful young girls, for the most part poor or enslaved, who have taken on the names of the three bravest young women who ever graced our world,†Lady Ulma finished for her. â€Å"Something like that,†Elena said, flushing. â€Å"Nobody's cal ing themselves Damon,†put in the young nurse cheerful y and with the utmost goodwil . â€Å"Neither boys nor girls.† Stefan could have kissed her. â€Å"Oh, Lakshmi!†Elena hugged the coltish-looking teenager. â€Å"I didn't even see you properly. Let me look at you.†She held the girl at arm's length. â€Å"Do you know, you've grown at least an inch since I last saw you?† Lakshmi beamed. Elena turned back to Lady Ulma. â€Å"Yes, I am afraid for the child. Why not cal her Ulma?† The patrician lady half shut her eyes. â€Å"Because, my dear Elena, Helena, Aliena, Al iana, Laynie, El a – I would not wish ‘Ulma'on anyone, much less my lovely daughter.† â€Å"Why not cal her Adara?†Lakshmi put in suddenly. â€Å"I always thought that was pretty, since I was a kid.† There was a silence – almost a stunned silence. Then Elena said, â€Å"Adara – it's a lovely name.† â€Å"And not at alldangerous,†Bonnie said. Stefan said, â€Å"It wouldn't stop her from starting a revolution if she wanted to.† There was a pause. Everyone looked at Damon, who was looking out the window expressionlessly. Everyone waited. He final y turned. â€Å"Oh, excel ent,†he said blankly, clearly having no idea – and less interest – in what they were talking about. â€Å"Oh come on, Damon.†Bonnie's eyes were Stillswol en, but she spoke brightly. â€Å"Make it unanimous! That way Lady Ulma wil be sure.†Good God, Stefan thought, she must be the most forgiving girl in the universe. â€Å"Certainly, then,†Damon said indifferently. â€Å"Forgive us,†Elena said tightly to the room in general. â€Å"We've all been going through a bit of a hard time.† That gave Lady Ulma her cue. â€Å"Of course you have,†she said, smiling the smile of one who has known bitter suffering. â€Å"Bonnie has told us of the destruction of your town. I am deeply sorry. What you need now is food and rest. I'l have someone conduct you to your rooms.† â€Å"I should have introduced Stefan at the start, but I was so worried I forgot to,†Elena said. â€Å"Stefan, this is Lady Ulma, who was so good to us before. Lady Ulma – Well, you know who this is.†She went on tiptoe to kiss Stefan lingeringly. Lingeringly enough that Stefan had to gently detach her and put her down. He was almost frightened at this display of bad manners. Elena was really angry at Damon. And if she didn't forgive him, the scenes would only continue to escalate – and if he was right, Elena was truly getting closer to being able to cast Wings of Destruction. He didn't even consider asking Damon to forgive anyone. After the girls had whispered raptures over the baby again, they were conducted to opulent bed chambers, each furnished in excel ent taste, down to the smal est decoration. As usual, though, they al congregated in one room, which happened to be Stefan's. There was more than enough space on the bed for the three of them to sit or flop. Damon wasn't present but Stefan would bet his undead life that he was listening in. â€Å"All right,†Elena said briskly, and went into storytel ing mode. She explained to Bonnie everything that had happened through their taking the Master Keys from Shinichi and Misao, to their flight to Lady Ulma's bathing chamber. â€Å"To have so much Power suddenly torn away from you in an instant†¦Ã¢â‚¬ Bonnie had her head down, and it wasn't hard to guess who she was thinking about. She looked up. â€Å"Please, Elena. Don't be so angry at Damon. I know he's done some bad things – but he's been so unhappy†¦Ã¢â‚¬  â€Å"That's no excuse,†Elena began. â€Å"And, frankly, I'm – â€Å" Don't, Elena! Don't tell her that you're ashamed of her for putting up with it! She's already ashamed of herself! â€Å"I'm surprised at him,†Elena said with only the smal est hesitation. â€Å"I know for a fact that he cares for you. He even has a pet name for you: his little redbird.† Bonnie sniffed. â€Å"You always say that pet names are stupid.† â€Å"Well, but I meant names like – oh – if he cal ed you ‘Bonbon'or something.† Bonnie's head came up. â€Å"Even that would be okay for the baby,†she said, with a sudden smile, like a rainbow after a storm. â€Å"Oh, yes, isn't she adorable? I never saw such a happy baby. Margaret used to just look at you with big eyes. Adara – if she is Adara – should have such a happy life†¦Ã¢â‚¬  Stefan settled back against the headboard. Elena had the situation in hand. Now he could worry about where Damon was going. After a moment he tuned back in, to find Bonnie talking about treasure. â€Å"And they kept asking me and asking me and I couldn't figure out why since the star bal with the story on it was right there. Only the story is gone now – Damon checked. Shinichi was going to throw me out the window, and that was when Damon rescued me, and the Guardians asked me about the story too.† â€Å"Strange,†Stefan said, sitting up alertly. â€Å"Bonnie, tel me how you first felt this story; where you were and al .† Bonnie said, â€Å"Well, first I saw a story about a little girl named Marit going to buy a sugarplum – that was why I tried to do the same thing the next day. And then I went to bed, but I couldn't sleep. So then I picked up the star bal again and it showed me the story about the kitsune treasures. The stories are shown in order, so it had to be the one right after the sweetshop story. And then suddenly I was out of my body, and I was flying with Elena right over Alaric's car.† â€Å"Did you do anything in between experiencing the story and going to bed?†Stefan asked. Bonnie thought; her rosebud mouth pursed. â€Å"I suppose I turned down the gas lamp. Every night I would turn the lamp way down so that it was only a flicker.† â€Å"And did you turn it back up again when you couldn't sleep and reached for the star bal again?† â€Å"Um†¦no. But they're not books! You don't have to see to experience a story.† â€Å"That wasn't what I meant. How did you find the star bal in that dim room? Was it the only star bal on the floor near you?† Bonnie's brows came together. â€Å"Well †¦no. There were twenty-six. Two others were hideous; I'd kicked those into a corner. Twenty-five were soap operas – so boring. It's not as if I had shelves or anywhere else to put them – â€Å" â€Å"Bonnie, do you want to know what I think happened?† Bonnie blinked and nodded. â€Å"I think that you read a children's story and then you went to bed. And you actual y fel asleep very quickly, even though you dreamed you were awake. Then you dreamed a premonition – â€Å" Bonnie groaned. â€Å"Another one of those? But there wasn't even anyone to tel it to then!† â€Å"Exactly. But you wanted to tel it to someone, and that longing brought you – your spirit – to where Elena was. But Elena was so worried about getting word across to Alaric that she was having an out-of-body experience. She'd been asleep too, I'm sure of it.†Stefan looked at Elena. â€Å"What do you think of that?†

Learning Team Analysis

Learning Team C, in the Leadership Theories and Practice course, consists of five members. Each member possesses their own learning style. These learning styles translate into specific leadership behaviors and practices. The differing leadership styles of the team members reflect established leadership theories studied in the course. Team members participated in the Pearson/Prentice-Hall Self-Assessment Library Website (University of Phoenix, 2011) leadership assessments that rate the members’ use of power, team skills, and conflict handling styles. The information gleaned will assist team members in understanding the potential impact of the differing leadership styles on team effectiveness. Beth’s Analysis Team member, Beth Calvano, scored a 107 on the How Good am I at Building and Leading Teams. This is a high score and shows that Beth will be a strong team member. For the What’s my Leadership Style assessment Beth scored an 8 on the concern for people section and a 17 on the task section. The scores are high and reflect a positive concern for teammates and a task oriented teammate. On the What’s my preferred Conflict-Handling Style quiz, Beth’s highest scores were in collaborating (19), accommodating (19), and compromise (19). The What’s my Preferred Form of Power assessment shows that Beth prefers the expert and referent forms of power. Beth’s leadership style reflects the Theory Y portion of the Theory X and Y theory of leadership. Her high scores on the learning team building assessment, in the concern for people and task sections, shows her ability to care for others and still accomplish the task. Beth’s conflict-handling style shows high scores for collaborating, accommodating, and compromise, three very significant factors for effective teamwork. The fact that her preferred forms of power are expert and referent lends itself to that theory of leadership. She tends to be an expert in her field, but will ask questions and educate herself on subjects with which she is not familiar. Her preference for referent power ensures her strong interpersonal connections with teammates (Hughes, Ginnett, & Curphy, 1995). Because of the contemporary use of knowledge-based learning in organizations, Theory Y is an effective leadership style (Kopelman, Prottas, & Falk, 2010). Beth’s leadership style should impact the team positively. Mark’s Analysis Mark’s score of 79 on the assessment of â€Å"How Good Am I at Building and leading Teams† places him in the second quartile for potential leaders. Although a higher score was anticipated, responses to key questions pertaining to his leadership style indicated he would rank somewhere in the mid to upper segment of candidates that would build and lead the team. Mark’s leadership style was assessed to be in the upper ranges with respect to concern for people and task achievement. This indicated an ability to balance his orientation for task/people. This leadership style is said to be engendering to others and is reflective of an individual who accepts challenges and focuses on achieving tasks. Overall Mark should have a positive effect on the team. He may not be the designated leader initially, however he has skills sets which are supportive and if needed could evolve into a leadership role which would assure the team of continuous quality in structure, production and an atmosphere of motivation, collaboration and mutual respect and accountability. Sharra’s Analysis Team member, Sharra Jones, scored an 85 on the How Good am I at Building and Leading Teams. This score places Sharra in the second quartile which means she can be a strong team member. For the What’s my Leadership Style assessment Sharra scored an 8 on the concern for people section and a 9 on the task section. The scores are in the middle range, which means that the concern for people score is on the higher end and the score for task oriented is on the low- high end. Sharra has great concern for people, but she can also be focus on the task that is set before the team. On the What’s my preferred Conflict-Handling Style quiz, Sharra’s highest scores were in collaborating (16) and compromise (16). The What’s my Preferred Form of Power assessment shows that Sharra prefers the expert, legitimate, and referent forms of power. Based on the results from each assessment, Sharra’s leadership style falls under contingency theories. Contingency pproach is that the leadership style is based on the situation the leader is in (Fiedler & Garcia, 1987). Sharra’s scores high score in the concern for people helps her to adapt to people needs which is similar to adapting leadership styles to fit the situations. The ability to collaborate and compromise makes Sharra an effec tive team player. She is willing to do what it takes to make sure the team task is completed. Her preferred forms of power also show that she will have a strong and effective impact on the team, because she would be consider an expert in her field and is willing to share and help other to achieve what she has achieved. Ryan’s Analysis Leadership is a facet of my professional life that has always been a challenge to me. Until I entered into my present position, I rarely thought about leadership in anything greater that a Transactional level (Burns, 1990). Being in education, when I was working with student in the classroom, or athletes on the field, I see that while I was being more Transformational, there was still a Transactional underpinning to the entire relationship. Stepping in the a leadership position within the Curriculum and Instruction Department in the school district I work in brought an entirely new perspective on leadership. Honestly, I wish that I had taken this class and these assessments before undertaking this role. According to the questionnaires, I scored a 102 in the â€Å"How Good Am I at Building and Leading a Team? † This places me within the top quartile. What strikes me as interesting is that once I received the results of this survey, it made the results from the next screening more understandable. The â€Å"What’s My Leadership Style? † assessment showed an almost even distribution between my concern for people and my concern for the task. My scores were 11 and 12 respectively. According to the analysis, this places me in the category of leadership that is most versatile in any profession. From there, the â€Å"What’s My Preferred Type of Power? † survey came back with some interesting measures. Within five-tenths of a score, I had three power types tied for the highest. The first was â€Å"Legitimate† with a score of a 5. Next were â€Å"Expert† and â€Å"Referent† respectively with scores of 4. 7 and 4. 5. The screening was completed with the â€Å"What is my Preferred Conflict-Handling Style? † This measure returned with similar outcomes to the previous measure. According to the results, three styles came in close to each other. These were â€Å"Collaborating† with an 18, â€Å"Compromising† with a 17, and â€Å"Accommodating† with a 15. Oddly enough, this left me with more questions than answers from when I started. As much as I strive to be a Transformational Leader in practice, I would look at these quantitative results as moving somewhere in between Transactional and Transformational (Burns, 1978). However, these two categories are fairly generous in their latitude and approach to delineating leadership styles. Manz and Sims (1991) offer a little more depth in description of leadership styles with their four categories, or styles, of leaders. As with the Transactive/Transformative dyad, I found myself striving to be the SuperLeader these two researchers describe. However, and honest assessment of qualitative, anecdotal experiences combined with the quantitative data listed in the previous paragraph would more than likely place my style on the border between Transactor and Visionary Hero. Perhaps the borders between these six different leadership types discussed bear more scrutiny once the types, themselves, have been clearly established. Like practitioners of the hard sciences, it is the borders between things where activity is at its greatest. This is where geologists and ecologists thrive. Physicists yearn for the borderlands of the known and the theoretical to see what is truly there. For leadership, both general and individual understanding, the borders between styles is where more concentration, at least for me, is needed. This is where I see my leadership style flourishing and thriving. Here is where I can authentically cultivate and unique style to leadership with different individuals, and with various groups. However, the one issue I must maintain a situational awareness of is Situational Leadership (Hersey & Blanchard, 1995). In order to maintain a transformative stance, authenticity is a premium that cannot be sacrificed. As such, I must negotiate the situation within the acceptable limits I have put in place within myself. This awareness can only come through experience and engaged reflection after the fact. Phyllis’ Analysis This is a group that consists of five (5) team members, which will reflect five (5) different personalities and five different backgrounds. Each team member posses his or her own particular leadership style, which reflects in their assessments. I began to reflect back on my shift in roles. As I think back on my transition from a follower, to a supervisor, and to my current position as a manager, I realized those were very difficult periods for me. I knew that as time progressed I would have learn how to change the way I viewed things as well as how I reacted to certain situations. According to Avolio, Yammarino (2008), â€Å"Leadership involves the ability â€Å"to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute toward the effectiveness and success of the organizations of which they are members† (pg 318). I completed the assessments and the majority of what the assessment revealed had a lot of relevancy. The first assessment I completed was, How Good am I at Building and Leading Teams. I scored 100. According to the score I received reflected I was a strong team member. The next assessment I completed was What’s my Leadership Style. I scored an eight (8) on the concern for people, which was a high score according to the assessment and I scored a thirteen (13) on the concern for task, which was also high. According to the assessment the scores in these two particular categories relayed balance, indicating that on a weighted scale I would equaled out. Next, I completed What’s my preferred Conflict-Handling Style. This assessment reflects more of the leadership traits I utilize. The two areas I scored the highest was collaborating and compromising receiving a score of sixteen (16) in both areas. I received a score of fourteen (14) on accommodating. In the areas of competing and avoiding, I received the same score of eleven. The last assessment I completed was What’s my preferred Type of Power. The scores I received are: Reward 3. 7; Coercive 2- I found to be the most accurate; Legitimate 4. 2; Expert 5; Referent 3. 2. After completing the assessments, the leadership theory I display would be more of transformational. Subordinates need to feel valued and given a broader look into their job. To praise them in public motivates and builds their confidence. Wren (1995) stated, â€Å"There has to be structure in leadership. The leader needs to be to explain the task to the subordinately letting them know exactly what it is they would have them to do. Subordinates will be inclined to do as they have been instructed by the leader (â€Å"that is good follower acceptance and loyalty†) (pgs. 96-97). References Burns, J. (1978).

Case Study Ge Healthcare in India an (Ultra) Sound...

Case Study: GE Healthcare In India: An (Ultra) Sound Strategy? What are the basic facts? GE Healthcare India, a joint venture between General Electric (GE) and the Indian multinational Wipro Ltd., had ended the 2005-2006 year with a significant rise in sales of 10% since last year. They were the market leader in the $77 million ultrasound machine market, beating its competitors, which included Siemens, Toshiba and Philips. The president and CEO of GE Healthcare India, V. Raja read the newspaper headlines which described how government officials in Hyderabad had been confiscating ultrasound machines that they suspected were being used illegally to determine the sex of unborn children. The article featured a poster for GE ultrasound†¦show more content†¦With such importance placed on a boy child- male dominance rises, abortion rates increase and women have no importance or role in the society. As the male population goes up, the society is more prone to banditry, rapes, sexual harassment cases, eve teasing, rioting and militarization. Shortage of women also leads to socially disruptive behavior and mental health issues. What are the effects on each group, company, investor, employee, consumer, and/or society? GE Healthcare India, one of the main stakeholders in this issue, sold 18,255 ultrasound scanners in India from 2002 to 2006 and had whopping sales of $77 million in 2006. As a result of the rising criticism of ultrasound machines sold by their company, they have faced legal issues, intense government scrutiny and pushback from activists for having aggressive sales tactics. Completely banning ultrasounds would have an adverse effect on their company and its sales. The employees of GE Healthcare India would also be criticized for working for a company that sells ultrasound machines which are promoting abortion of the female child. If GE Healthcare India’s sales go down because of the whole controversy, the employees would lose their jobs. The consumers and society would not be able to use ultrasound machines if it was banned.

The users of marijuana in Brazil are mainly people that smoke the drug for recreational factors, but there are also many people that use marijuana as treatment for their diseases or disorders. Marijuana can be used to treat things like cancer, multiple sclerosis, anxiety and glaucoma. The problem is that these people have to be criminals to be able to treat themselves. Social Impacts Marijuana impacts on health Less Jails more treatment The social impacts of marijuana prohibition in brazil are many. The war on drugs, violence, firearms trafficking involved, corruption and many others. Because its so hard to differentiate an addict and a drug dealer by the amount of marijuana they carry, addicts end up in jail.

In the movie breaking the taboo with the former Brazilian president Fernando Henrique, prisoners talk about how much drugs are a part of their lives in prison. One of them says â€Å"If you didn’t have a drug habit when going in, you leave with a drug habit.† If the prohibition continues, more prisons will have to be constructed and that could be a waste of money for the government. Also, a lot of money is spent on police reinforcement to fight drugs in the streets, this money could be going to other things such as education.

Forensic Science An Introduction to Scientific and Investigative Tech

Question: Discuss what management procedures and organisation would be required to respond to a terrorist attack (2 coordinated explosions in stands located in the centre of the stadium), at the Racecourse stadium. The attacks occurred on a busy Saturday afternoon during a match. Discuss the roles that forensic scientists have at the scene and in supporting the police.? Answer: I accept the assaults at the Racecourse stadium on Saturday evening amid a match on blameless regular citizens were demonstrations of terrorism not demonstrations of war. Terrorism is the unlawful utilize or undermined utilization of power or viciousness by an individual or a composed gathering against individuals or property with the expectation of scary or pressuring social orders or governments, frequently for ideological or political reasons. Clearly this is the thing that happened at the Racecourse stadium on Saturday evening amid a match. Sadly, this grievous occasion did happen. It was not a demonstration of war. It was a lamentable decimating demonstration of fear. By the straightforward utilization of reason, isn't there a steady atmosphere around dread that all individuals on the less than desirable end are against it before it has even happened (Houck, 2006). Mass casualty fiascos can possibly rapidly overpower the assets of a Medical Examiner's operation relying upon the limit of the office and the quantity of fatalities. Workplaces that are overpowered may look for aid at nearby, state and government levels. Calamity circumstances may run from simply a couple of victimized people to high numbers. For this situation, the reason is a Bomb Blast. The focus of this essay is to complete an arrangement with a specific end goal to recognize systems through which Medical Examiners may get bolster advantages for finish the objectives of distinguishing the perished and masterminding fitting last attitude, furthermore plot the part of Forensic science in the investigative procedure (Embar-Seddon and Pass, 2009). The arrangement is made here to lay out some essential and obligatory operational arrangement of strategies. It introduces administration reaction that must be adjusted to get out the territory and take after the methodology if there should be an occurrence of a conveyance of weapons of mass annihilation, for example, a bomb impact. Administration of the general catastrophe must be finished utilizing the Incident Command System (ICS) as systematized by the NIMS (National Incident Management System). The essential elements of order, operations, arranging, logistics, and organization/account are the establishment of an adaptable stage that can grow or contract as the extent of the fiasco manages. The Medical Examiner's part under the operations capacity must have its own particular arrangement of summon, operations, arranging, logistics, and organization/money capacities to oversee working together with the general Incident Commander. The items given below in the table are always needed in certain contexts of mass annihilation. A list is given below. Serial No. The scene of the occurrence The mortuary Transport Organization Communications Power supplies Welfare 1. body sacks examination tables of staff to and from scene medical aid and restorative hardware Administrative data service Impermanent Structures Nourishment beverage 2. body names Seepage tow trucks premises scene washing offices 3. property sacks finger impression gear recuperation vehicles documents cupboards radio funeral home guidance/advising administration 4. maps/ flying photos warming/cooling units of gear and ID information documents Interpol frames instructions material individual defensive attire 5. ID identifications/apparel photographic gear for garbage/ proof evacuation weatherproof pens/pencils Phone, PC printers 6. site boundary tape or boundaries body storerooms of evacuees and losses trivial money impromptu costs and buys dispatch administration 7. inquiry and location gear authority examination instruments of bodies from scene, inside funeral home, and so on.: refrigerated trucks furniture 8. stretchers X-Ray machines 9. sketcher's materials waste transfer 10. body and property stakes 11. ground-clearing gear 12. photographic gear It will be admired that no rundown can be comprehensive, and any endeavour to devise and distribute a complete stock of prescribed hardware would be purposeless, as well as power lead to an incorrect conviction that all is well with the world. In any case, numerous Interpol part nations have drawn up arrangements and gained hardware which suits the apparent needs of their specific zones of operation. No authoritative direction can be given on the quantity of individuals prone to be obliged to react to and manage a calamity. Once more, the sort and area of the episode and various other criteria will need to be considered. The individuals who have needed to manage bomb impacts on whatever scale will dependably concur that it is anything but difficult to disparage the time, number of staff, and measure of hardware that will be needed (Bogusz, 2008). In mass casualty occurrences, affirmation of the character of human remains ought to just be made by the Identification Board or neighbourh ood power after close appraisal and assessment of important and dependable information is attempted. Casualties of a vast scale calamity are recognized on the premise of an evaluation of different elements. The degree to which human remains are harmed, the time human remains have been left uncovered and the related changes in the state of human remains will impact the nature and nature of posthumous information. It will likewise impact and figure out what particular strategies for distinguishing proof may be embraced and are most proper considering the present situation. Techniques for ID utilized as a part of instances of calamities ought to be deductively stable, dependable, material under field conditions and fit for being actualized inside a sensible time of time (Ishida, 2012). The essential and most dependable method for distinguishing proof are erosion edge examination, near dental investigation and DNA examination. Exceptional serial numbers from restorative inserts might li kewise be solid identifiers as far as demonstrating character. Auxiliary method for recognizable proof incorporate individual portrayal, medicinal discoveries, tattoos, and property and garments found on the body. These method for recognizable proof serve to backing recognizable proof by different means and are conventionally not sufficient as a sole method for ID (albeit relying upon the circumstances, there may be a few exemptions). Distinguishing proof taking into account photos can be famously temperamental and ought to be evaded as the sole method for recognizable proof. Visual ID by a witness may give an evidence of personality be that as it may is not sufficient for positive ID of casualties of a vast scale calamity, as victimized people can be distorted, bringing about the visual examination being problematic (Kahana and Hiss, 2009). The mental push often included in encounter with the perished, by relatives, likewise makes this type of ID temperamental. All after death info rmation got from bodies is assessed with reference to data acquired about missing persons. As it is difficult to know ahead of time what information can be gotten from bodies and what data can be gotten for correlation purposes at the exploited person's spot of living arrangement, all accessible data (both AM and PM) ought to be gathered and reported (Kayser, 2015). The nature of both AM and PM information ought to be of the most noteworthy standard conceivable, with quality techniques secured ahead of schedule in the operation A firm chain of command is key. In the event that plans don't accommodate a senior authority (for example, Chief of Police) to take prompt authority, an Investigator in Charge should be named to accept general obligation regarding the entire operation. Until sufficient extra officers get to be accessible he might need to direct manage numerous, if not all, of the introductory parts of the reaction. The Investigator in Charge will regularly be in charge of co-ordinating endeavours to spare life property, to recognize the dead and to research the reason or reasons for the debacle (Millen, 2000). The exercises for which he will be capable are such a variety of and fluctuated that he will require a few senior cops to support him. Aside from directing the consolidated operations from start to finish, he may be obliged to handle the examination concerning the calamity causes himself. In any case, as all the proof whereupon to base his decisions won't be accessible until the salvage and r ecuperation operations have been ended, all material confirmation should in the long run be made accessible to him for assessment. The last document must exhibit deductions with respect to the reason or causes however will likewise, at whatever point conceivable incorporate recommendations to dodge or minimize the impacts of future comparative debacles, and may propose changes in the reaction methodology and in methods for overseeing debacle processes (Montelius and Lindblom, 2011). For viable control co-appointment of the different exercises the Investigator-in-Charge will require no less than three aides, every in charge of a real part of the general process: a Manager of Victim Identification a Manager of Rescue Operations a Manager of Communications It is greatly vital to build an interchanges focus immediately. For viable reasons this focal point ought to be created at a real police home office which will typically have appropriate locations, interchanges hardware, staff other fundamental offices (Mundorff, 2011). At whatever point conceivable a free switchboard and extra correspondences stations, for example, radio, telex, copy and PC connections ought to be given. It is prescribed that workplaces for the three Managers and their different units or groups be given at or near to this area. The correspondences focus ought to likewise give administrations, for example, record duplicating, interpretation and message transmission for the operations at different areas. On the off chance that it is hard to situated up interchanges gear, or if specialized breakdowns are obligated to happen, procurement ought to be made for a forever accessible individual dispatch framework. Much of the time it will be convenient to set up the Missing Persons Unit at or close to the correspondences focus all investigations data regarding latent exploited people ought to be coordinated to that Unit. A generous number of open media analyses, not all identifying with missing persons, must be foreseen. These are best managed by an advertising officer, however the Manager of Communications, in contact with the Investigator in Charge ought to dependably be eventually in charge of the arrival of data to the media; no one but they can completely survey what has been accomplished at any given time and what data can be made open without trading off the operations or examinations. Salvage operations will be begun instantly, frequently by survivors and individuals from the general population in the region of the occurrence. Beginning reports to the crisis benefits sometimes give appropriate insights around the degree of the fiasco and the amount state of victimized people; the Manager of Rescue Operations will in this manner required to look for extra data from solid sources. Likewise with typical police methodology the closest radio-prepared police watch ought to be coordinated to the scene quickly, to give precise data straight from the site. Just as significantly, the officers will speak to liveried power at the scene. It is underlined that the primary police staff to arrive must oppose the allurement to end up actually included in the salvage operations (Thompson, 2008). Their essential capacity at this stage is to acquire and go on precise data so reaction actions can be surveyed and taken. Individual inclusion, which could put them out of contact at this discriminating time, may separate the main basic interchanges join with the scene. In territories that may not be open by vehicle, e.g. in deserts, mountain reaches or forests or on snow-made progress or water, exact data will be much harder to get. Helicopters or other flying machine could be utilized to inspect and report. In airplane calamities early phone contact ought to be made and kept up with the closest airport regulation focus and with the air transport organization included to acquire essential data in regards to, for instance, the flying machine's destination, and subtle elements of trouble calls and unsafe freight. In spite of the variety among wrongdoing scenes, there is a standard system set up to guarantee a scene is taken care of in a proper way. At the point when a wrongdoing is at first reported, the first officer going to will have various obligations to finish whilst sitting tight for other work force to arrive. The FOA must complete a beginning evaluation of the circumstance, managing any crises as vital. Any people officially exhibit at the scene, including witnesses and suspects, must be kept, if it be important to lead any meetings or even make captures. The FOA himself will casually meet any significant persons with a specific end goal to figure out if a wrongdoing has really been conferred and if any crisis support is needed, for example, the summoning of paramedics (Kayser, 2015). In the event that medical aid is given, the officer ought to observe anything that is changed amid life-sparing endeavours, for example, the development of victimized people or articles. At the point wh en logical bolster staff touch base at the scene, the FOA will impart any applicable data he has picked up with them. The hindrances of a wrongdoing scene are secured, guaranteeing that every single indispensable bit of proof in addition to passages and ways out are incorporated, and a physical boundary put around the scene. This hindrance may be wrongdoing scene tape, cops standing monitor, blockades or vehicles. This boundary basically controls who enters the scene, planning to reject all insignificant faculty. A log is created taking note of all people who do cross the obstruction and the times at which they enter and exit. As the scene and its confirmation may be incompletely or completely presented to the components, insurance from climate harm may be needed (Ishida, 2012). This can be achieved by just utilizing clean cardboard boxes to cover the important ranges, or in a few occurrences a tent may be raised. All people entering the scene ought to wear the right securing garments, which may comprise of an arrangement of overalls, latex gloves, paper shoes, and even a face cover. After leaving t he scene, all ensuring attire worn all through the examination ought to be gathered for investigation to maintain a strategic distance from the danger of losing significant follow proof. Amid the precise quest for proof, a main examiner will frequently allot people to specific ranges of the wrongdoing scene whilst ignoring the quest for and gathering of confirmation. The route in which the scene is handled will frequently be dictated by the way of the wrongdoing. Indoor wrongdoing scenes will be just looked on a room-by-room premise, while outside wrongdoing scenes may oblige a more point by point hunt design. Before anything is moved or even touched, the whole scene must be completely recorded to guarantee a changeless record exists of the scene in the state in which it was found. This documentation may incorporate composed notes, photos, feature recording, and representations. Far reaching notes will be kept for everything of physical proof recouped from the scene, incorporating the area in which it was observed, who gathered it and at what time, and a depiction of the thing itself (Houck, 2006). General notes in regards to the scene itself will likewise be taken, including ecological points of interest, data on the state in which the scene was found, and whatever other subtle elements that may be significant. Portrayals are often used to demonstrate the areas, measurements and introductions of objects of noteworthy found at the scene, and applicable estimations. Photography is maybe the most imperative manifestation of wrongdoing scene documentation, creating a perpetual visual record o f the wrongdoing scene and found proof. Broad photos ought to be taken of all regions of the wrongdoing scene and each thing of proof gathered. See the measurable photography page for a more definite portrayal. At the point when documentation of the scene is finished, the scene of wrongdoing officers can then continue to gather physical confirmation from the scene. The way of the confirmation itself will focus the strategy for accumulation and how it is contained. It might be important to concentrate on the accumulation of certain confirmation to start with, specifically things that may be especially delicate or profitable to the examination. On the off chance that a body is available at the scene, it will regularly be difficult to touch or move the exploited person until the essential master has touched base at the scene, for example, the pathologist. Prior to the body is transported to the morgue, plastic sacks are secured over the head, hands and feet to keep the loss of follow proof (Bogusz, 2008). Likewise with recuperation techniques, the bundling of physical confirmation is dependent on the way of the proof. All things gathered ought to be bundled, put away and transported in such a route, to the point that keeps any change or harm from occurring between the time it is recuperated and the time it is gotten by the research centre. Little, dry thing may be collapsed in paper and after that fixed in polythene sacks, while wet things ought to be fixed in polythene packs and solidified, particularly on the off chance that they contain potential organic specimens. Each thing gathered ought to be put in a different holder to anticipate harm through contact and cross-sullying. At long last, all bits of physical proof ought to be named with any recognizing data in regards to the thing, in addition to the area in which it was found, the wrongdoing it identifies with, and the date and mark of all persons included in its recuperation.

Mohandas Gandhi Essays (510 words) - Ascetics, Gujarati People

Mohandas Gandhi Mohandas Gandhi was born in Porbandar (In the state of Gujarat) on the 2nd of October, 1869. He was educated at university College, London. After this, he went back to India to begin his Law profession but had no luck and moved to South Africa. Gandhi found that in South Africa he was considered as a second class citizen even though he was a well educated Lawyer. This started his first'mission'. To get India's residing in South Africa equal rights. In this action he discovered a technique of resistance that is non-violent and more to the fact of accepting a persons violence, allowing them to so the damage they inflict on you, and letting them feel guilty (In a way). This for of resistance is formally known as Passive Resistance. The mission he was fighting for did not quite work and after 20 years of on-and-off imprisonment, he want back to India. At the time, India was under the rule of the British Empire. Gandhi devised a form of a political group to make a free and independent India. The forms of activities this group participated in were protect marches, gatherings and this was all done with Passive Resistance. During Gandhi's life, he was so into this idea of Passive Resistance, if anyone that wanted an Independent India resorted to violence, he would fast until the violence stopped. he did this a number of times and it always worked. Also if he created notes, memos or writings about India's home rule, the government would throw him in jail. The great thing about Gandhi is that he never denied a true accusation and happily was taken of to jail. I believe that Gandhi once said 'It is not as if I am sentenced to prison, just taking an extended holiday.'. The qualities that Gandhi had were very respectable. He was a very well educated man, he was articulate and very true in his words. Everything he seemed to say was so meaningful and so to the point, that is very inspiring to anyone. He had a good personality and a loving husband and father. Also, he did not see himself as one religion, he saw himself as a Christian, a Hindu and a Muslim. He did not restrict himself too one category. Instead he stated that we all prayer to the same God and in this, was a very special. The Circumstances to Gandhi's was very tragic. Whilst he was going for his evening prayer meeting, he was assassinated by a man by the name of Nathuram Godse, a Hindu fanatic. Gandhi's death was considered as an international catastrophe in that even a period of morning was set aside during The United Nations General Assembly. People believed and still believe in the concept of Passive Resistance environmental protest. but even more famous, Martin Luther King Jr. used the concept of Passive Resistance was used in the liberation of black people from the strong hold of Segregation (The separation of Blacks and Whites). This was effective in Mr. King campaign also. So I strongly believe that people can learn a lot from Gandhi and Mr. King. In that Passive Resistance creates a non-violent way of getting what is rightfully yours.
