Life experiences help us to adapt to environments, cope with challenges, and continue to hone us as better individuals (Newman & Newman, 4). I am usually the type of person who loves to be alone. I do have interactions with other people but relationships are merely superficial. I preferred to do things on my own and chose not to depend on anybody else. It was probably my previous experiences with friends that I learn not to trust other people.

The experience I had not only changed my view of life but also my social relationships with other people. It happened when I was applying for a part-time job and got accepted. As part of the pre-employment program, a personality development and socialization program were conducted. Programs are aimed towards developing a positive outlook towards life, work, and co-workers. During the program, I heard of others’ experiences, frustrations, and motivation why they keep on working.

A co-worker narrated his drastic experience with bullies. These bullies always get his money, emotionally abused him, and beat him. Despite negative experience, this person said that it never barred him from trusting and developing bonds with other people. He believes that there are other people like him and there are still good people out there. He also said that we don’t have to feel disappointed because of a negative experience and that we should continue to trust other people despite bad experiences. I felt slapped at his confession. That confession had helped me to become a better person and changed me from an aloof person to a friendly person.

I will pay for the following article Microbe on Escherichia coli. The work is to be 2 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. Part I: Organism Information Organism Escherichia coli Organism Type: Bacteria Organism Structure: E. coli is a gram-negative bacterium with rod shaped cells 2.0 (μm) long with a diameter of 0.5 (μm). The bacterium grows best at 37°C but some strains have successfully multiplied in controlled laboratory settings at even 49°C. It is a facultative anaerobe reproducing using mixed-acid fermentation requiring low hydrogen levels to ferment simple sugars into formic acids. E. coli is also found with other hydrogen consuming organisms like sulphate-reducing bacteria (Hayhurst, 2004).

Organism Characteristics: The bacterium is usually found in the lower intestinal tract of warm-blooded animals and humans. Most of the strains found in the gut are actually beneficial to the host by inhibiting the growth of other harmful bacteria and synthesizing vitamins, like K2. However, some serotypes can cause severe food poisoning in humans. One common strain, O157:H7, releases strong toxins, specifically enterotoxins, that damage and infect the host’s intestinal lining (Rasko, 2011). At times, a small colony of only 10-100 cells in enough to cause infections in children. The incubation period of these types of infection causing strains can range anywhere from a few hours to a week. The bacteria penetrate and thrive in the intestinal lining, eating away at the mucosa (Hayhurst, 2004).

Part II: Disease Information

Diseases caused: Food poisoning

Mode of Transmission: Usually through fecal-oral transmission and coming in contact with contaminated foods and drinks

Portal of Entry into body: Main route through oral ingestion

Area of body organism attacks: Mucous lining of the intestines

Symptoms of Disease: Symptoms usually manifest themselves in adults after 3-4 days of being infected consisting mostly of mild diarrhea, abdominal cramping and nausea. In severe cases the diarrhea can become bloody and the infection can cause kidney problems leading to pale skin, fever, chills, and bruising. Most healthy adults get better within a weak while for infants and young children it can take longer. In rare and extreme cases the virulent strain can also cause pneumonia, hemolytic uremic syndrome (kidney failure), and dehydration through diarrhea, eventually leading to death in young children and older adults (Hayhurst, 2004).

Part III: Treatment and Prevention

Diagnosis: Usually the doctor carries out a physical examination and a medical history involving a series of questions about many of the symptoms. The questions will also try to determine travelling history, recently eaten foods, contact with contaminated foods and unpasteurized dairy products, and antibiotic use. The physical examination consists of checking the patient’s temperature, blood pressure, skin color, stomach tenderness and a rectal exam. If E. coli infection is suspected, the doctor will request a stool culture examination to determine the presence of the infectious strain and its toxins (Rasko, 2011).

Treatment: There aren’t any medications and vaccines yet to protect against E. coli infections. One of the best methods to relieve symptoms is to get plenty of rest and fluids in order to decrease dehydration due to diarrhea. If bloody diarrhea occurs, diarrhea medicine and antibiotics should be avoided as these slow the digestive system, allowing even more of the poison produced by the bacteria to be absorbed. In extreme cases where kidney failure or blood problems occur, blood transfusion and dialysis will be needed (Hayhurst, 2004).

Prevention: The primary way to prevent infections is to limit the exposure to contaminated foods and water, unpasteurized dairy products, and avoiding cross-contamination. Meats should be cooked thoroughly at high temperatures and raw fruits and vegetables should be washed before use. Hands should be washed before and after preparing food, using the washroom and coming into contact with animals. When travelling, it is best to avoid ice and tap water (Hayhurst, 2004).

Part IV: Historical information

1885: Theodor Escherich, a German pediatrician, discovered E. coli and named it Bacterium coli commune because it was found in the colon of healthy adults (Hayhurst, 2004).

1917: Nissle, a nonpathogenic strain of E. coli, started being used in medicine to treat many gastroenterological diseases like, inflammatory bowel disease (Hayhurst, 2004).

1997: The DNA sequence of E. coli was first completed and published. The circular DNA was found to have 4.6 billion base pairs and a very high coding density (Hayhurst, 2004).

2011: An outbreak of the strain O104:H4 began in Germany leading many people to be infected with hemolytic-uremic syndrome. Gradually 11 other countries were affected including some parts of North America. Later that year, the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment in Germany announced that fenugreek seeds from Egypt were the likely cause of the outbreak (Rasko, 2011).

Compose a 1500 words assignment on microeconomics. Needs to be plagiarism free! Time preference refers to the rate at which people are willing to trade current benefit for future benefit.

Assuming a time horizon of covering the individual’s two income payments say to and t1, a person will save until his time preference equals the interest rate at the margin. Time preference is assumed here to be initially lower than the interest rate i for the period from t0 to t1, the rate of time preference equals the rate of interest at the margin. At this point, the utility obtained from the last unit of money invested in bonds is just equal to the utility of the last unit of money used for consumption purposes or held in its most liquid form i.e. cash. Savings are presumed to liquidate at time t1.

If on the other hand, we assume that the time preference of the rational utility maximizing individual initially is greater than the rate of interest from bonds, the individual will borrow money until the rate of interest equals the rate of time preference and the equilibrium condition is achieved. This principle can be generalized for time horizon over many periods like that. Thus, each individual plans his saving and consumption by borrowing in a way that for each short future period the marginal time preference becomes equal to the rate of interest in that period.

Write a 5 pages paper on how dreams and memory may be related. Even though we have millions of information stored in our minds, it is not necessary that all such information may appear in the form of dreams or associated with the formation of dreams. Moreover, the content of some of the dreams may not be familiar to us and may not have any relations with our past experiences. Why dreams of unfamiliar nature occur? This paper tries to answer the above question and briefly analyses the relationship between sleep, dreams, and memory.

Dreams and memory are two different entities even though they may have some relationships. All the living things may have memory power even though the capacity to memorize may be different for different living things and human beings. The same way most of the living things have the habit of dreaming also. Living things which have memory should have dreams also. The above fact is pointing towards the relationship between memory and dreams.

Sleep is normally classified into two broad categories like deep sleep and normal sleep. Dreams can occur during any stages of sleep. But the dream recalling rate seems to be more when the person undergoes normal sleep compared to the deep sleep. The general perception about sleep is that while we are sleeping the conscious memory will be inactive while the unconscious memory will be active. “The hypermnesia of dreams may be explained by saying that sleep opens the door to the unconscious mind, where all past experiences are preserved in all detail” (Memory in Dreams, 2009). The topics stored in the unconscious memory will cause dreams according to many psychologists. For example, it is quite possible that the stories or the incidents we came to know during my childhood may be stored in the unconscious mind. We will forget such incidents when we grow up because of its absence in the conscious mind. At the same time, such incidents will be active in the unconscious mind which will start working when we sleeping.
