Guidelines
to living with one kidney
·
This story is of a conversation between
someone and Dr. Roach discussing the issues and concerns of having one
kidney. In this story M.K. explains of
the concerns associated in having one kidney such as potential signs of
metastasis and GFR levels. Dr. Roach
responded by explaining some of the results when removing a kidney. Dr. Roach also explained that eating more
vegetables and less meats could be beneficial to keep the one kidney healthy.
·
The problem in this story is concerning
what people with on kidney should do to maintain living a happy and healthy
life. Having a serious surgery such as
removing a kidney may be a concern for many people.
·
The people who have this are the one’s who have only one kidney and their
family members. I found this story to be
particularly interesting because I only have one kidney as I had one removed
when I was only a year old. This was
concerning for my parents because they did whatever they could to make sure I
remained healthy.
Police:
Driver was doing 80 - Bicyclist killed
·
This story explains that a motorcyclist,
Rico Garcon, was traveling 80 mph in a 35-mph zone when he hit and killed a
man, Kenneth Johnson, in Lauderhill, Florida.
The crash happened at a little before 11 p.m. Garcon was recently
arrested on a charge of vehicular homicide.
·
The problem in this story is speeding and
the affects and damages it can have on the lives of people. The speed regulations are put in place to
protect both drivers and bystanders from the dangerous acts with the risks of
fast moving vehicles.
·
The people who are affected by this are everyone who drives a car or is in the
proximity of a moving car. This is
essentially everyone. Speed limits help
protect people from injuries because as shown by this article a car going 80
mph can be deathly. If Garcon had gone
the speed limit, Johnson would have had seven seconds to get out of the way.
Pay,
workload - leading to high - coach turnover - Palm Beach football - Pay
disparity - The cost - of a program - Parent problems - Hope on the horizon?
·
In south Florida, the high school football
coaching turnover rate is approaching an extremely high rate within the county.
Overworked, underpaid, and a feeling of lack of administrative support are some
reasons coaches stated that make coaching position undesirable. Coaches also feel that the schools to not
provide the football programs with enough money to succeed and play at the
highest level. The frequent complaints
from parents has been cited as another reason high school coaches in south
Florida have decided to step down.
·
High school football is major deal in
south Florida. Many coaches have been
able to help young athletes advance and succeed at the next level including
college and professional football.
Unhappy coaches have led to turnover which in turn can lead to unhappy
schools for underperforming teams.
·
First, coaches are upset with the way they
are treated which has led to the high turnover.
Second, upset parents and players may be unhappy with the constant
turnover of football coaches. This could
negatively affect school football programs which is a major deal in south
Florida.
Ignore
the Hollywood campaign - to end restaurant tipping
·
Saru Jayaraman, president of the labor
group Restaurant Opportunities Center (ROC) United, hopes to eliminate the
custom of restaurant tipping. However,
the
Restaurant Workers of America, a non-profit advocacy organization has been
created to prevent the elimination of tipping.
According to this non-profit group, tipping servers allows restaurants
to gain more profits while allowing servers to benefit as well. In turn,
removing tipping would hurt lucrative restaurant management, ownership, and
server opportunities.
·
The problem is whether tipping should be
removed or not. Jayaraman believes
tipping should be removed because she believes it correlates to sexual harassment. However, the Restaurant Workers of America do
not think there is correlation and tipping would hurt restaurant owners.
·
The people who have this problem are
servers and restaurant owners. If
tipping were to be removed, restaurant owners would have to pay the serves the
amount they would be getting tipped.
This would cause them to lose profits.
This affects servers as well as it could remove from the idea of a
reward for exceptional service.
Britain,
Ireland investing to boost tourism
·
England, Scotland, and Ireland are making
efforts to improve tourism infrastructures by adding new exhibits to well-known
sights. Renovations of museums and
historic landmarks will take place in hopes of attracting new tourists. These renovations and addition of new attractions
will be centered around new high-tech sights.
·
The problem with this is these renovations
will take years to finish and could affect traffic, congestion, and daily life
at these historic sights. Construction
sites would cause traffic, large vehicles, and sometimes prevent people from getting
near. Also, this could make tourists want
to go elsewhere until the renovation project is complete.
·
The people affected by this are locals people,
businesses, and tourists. The local
people may have to go out of their way to avoid these construction sites. Local business may lose money because people
are not visiting these historic sights because they are under
construction. Tourists may choose to go
to different destinations that are not under construction.
Hey Max,
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading your local opportunities, one really stood out to me: the death of the bicyclist. This problem really stood out to me because I can relate to it closely. I live off campus so I bike everywhere I go. In an effort to protect myself I have a light that I put on at night, but even with all these precautions, I still see bicyclists get hit by cars. I definitely believe there is an opportunity here at UF dealing with bike safety. Great post!
I had never heard of the campaign to end restaurant tipping before! I think that ending the custom of tipping servers would ultimately lead to a higher expense for customers, anyway. Restaurant owners would have to boost prices to compensate so that they can pay their workers more, which would probably be more expensive than just tipping. I also had not heard of the high school football coach turnover rate in South Florida. This surprises me because of the amount of good football players that come out of South Florida - you would think that they have a great coach and support system. I enjoyed reading your post!
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteWhile reading through your articles the one about Britain trying to boost its tourism really struck home with me. A lot of my family is from Britain and I visit there sometimes so it is very cool to hear that they are adding things in an effort to get more people to come to the island. The craziest roller coaster ride I have ever been on was in Britain so there is definitely at least one awesome thing to experience along with going out with the family and having a blast at the pubs. Really awesome post.
Hello!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the story you summarized regarding high school coaches. When I played football, our head coach would always complain about administration and lack of funds. Moreover, he states he was coaching for free because the school didn't want to pay him. I agree that high school football is a tremendous part of the culture and I agree that the high turnover rate leads to a decrease in performance and attitude.
