What is a A central line is an IV (intravenous) line that is surgically placed into a large central line? (central) blood vessel of the body. Two very common types of central lines are called Hickman and Broviac catheters. They are placed into a major blood vessel in or near the heart. Part of the line goes under the skin and enters a blood vessel several inches away. This type of central line is called a tunneled central line. The tunneled central line has a cuff under the skin near the exit site. The cuff is a small felt-like piece of material that encircles the central line. Skin will grow around the cuff just inside the body to help hold the line in place and help from it getting pulled out. The cuff also acts like a barrier to decrease the chance of infection. The other end of the tubing remains outside the skin and has an opening for placing IV nutrition, medicines and fluids. 1 of 4 To Learn More Free Interpreter Services • Intestinal Rehab Program • In the hospital, ask your nurse. 206-987-5662 • From outside the hospital, call the • Ask your child’s healthcare provider toll-free Family Interpreting Line, 1-866-583-1527.

Lieber Title: House of Cards Advisor: Sheila Schroeder Degree Date: November 2013 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to approach adapting a comic book into a film in a unique way. With so many comic-to-film adaptations following the trends of action movies, my goal was to adapt the popular comic book, Batman, into a screenplay that is not an action film. The screenplay, House of Cards, follows the original character of Miranda Greene as she attempts to understand insanity in Gotham’s most famous criminal, the Joker. The research for this project includes a detailed look at the comic book’s publication history, as well as previous film adaptations of Batman, and Batman in other relevant media.

  • Dressing with Pride: Clothing for the Elderly and Disabled Evelyn Kennedy Commentucci, Sewtique March 16, 2016
    Dressing with Pride: Clothing for the Elderly and Disabled Evelyn Kennedy Commentucci, Sewtique March 16, 2016 Summary by Salem Amanda Moritz Evelyn Kennedy Commentucci, the founder of Sewtique, presented the University of Rhode Island’s TMD students with samples of her clothing designs for the elderly and disabled that she made in the 1950s. Having experienced three years of her life with a full leg cast and forearm crutches, Evelyn was well aware of the struggles of a handicapped person, especially when it came to dressing. From there, she was inspired to design and alter traditional clothing so it is not only more comfortable and practical, but also stylish. Evelyn first told us about a group of four girls she had worked with who lived in an institution for disabled children. She described them as being completely dependent on their caretakers and having “no daily living skills.” Evelyn was determined to change that. In order to help these girls learn to dress themselves she began by giving them large squares of fabric with buttons, snaps, or Velcro. By practicing with these weekly, they further developed their fine motor coordination. Eventually, the girls were given special dresses designed and created by Evelyn that opened and closed with the same closures they had practiced on, and the girls were able to dress themselves much more independently than before. Then Evelyn began thinking about other types of clothing that could use improvement for children with varying forms of disabilities. She started by taking ready-to-wear clothing and making alterations so they could more easily be put on and taken off, such as zippers to open the neckline for sleeve access, or extending a zipper to the toe of a onesie instead of it ending at the hip.

  • Frozen in Time: How Disney Gender-Stereotypes Its Most Powerful Princess
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Essay Frozen in Time: How Disney Gender-Stereotypes Its Most Powerful Princess Madeline Streiff 1 and Lauren Dundes 2,* 1 Hastings College of the Law, University of California, 200 McAllister St, San Francisco, CA 94102, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Sociology, McDaniel College, 2 College Hill, Westminster, MD 21157, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-410-857-2534 Academic Editors: Michele Adams and Martin J. Bull Received: 10 September 2016; Accepted: 24 March 2017; Published: 26 March 2017 Abstract: Disney’s animated feature Frozen (2013) received acclaim for presenting a powerful heroine, Elsa, who is independent of men. Elsa’s avoidance of male suitors, however, could be a result of her protective father’s admonition not to “let them in” in order for her to be a “good girl.” In addition, Elsa’s power threatens emasculation of any potential suitor suggesting that power and romance are mutually exclusive. While some might consider a princess’s focus on power to be refreshing, it is significant that the audience does not see a woman attaining a balance between exercising authority and a relationship. Instead, power is a substitute for romance. Furthermore, despite Elsa’s seemingly triumphant liberation celebrated in Let It Go, selfless love rather than independence is the key to others’ approval of her as queen. Regardless of the need for novel female characters, Elsa is just a variation on the archetypal power-hungry female villain whose lust for power replaces lust for any person, and who threatens the patriarchal status quo. The only twist is that she finds redemption through gender-stereotypical compassion.

  • Jorge Joestar by Maijo Otaro Based on Characters Created by Araki Hirohiko for Araki Hirohiko ONE
    Jorge Joestar by Maijo Otaro based on characters created by Araki Hirohiko For Araki Hirohiko ONE Tsukumojuku 九十九十九 My name is Jorge Joestar. The name was taken from my aristocratic grandfather but written the Spanish style. I asked why Mum didn't spell it George like a proper English name, but she just smiled and said, "Well, you were born in the Canary Islands, and if I named you George, we couldn't very well call you Jojo, could we?" My father – he died in a shipwreck – was named Jonathan Joestar, and had gone his whole life by the nickname Jojo; he'd died so soon after their wedding that Mum, still deeply in love with him, had her heart set on my inheriting that nickname. Sadly, only Spaniards lived on La Palma, and nobody called me Jojo; Mum and Lisa Lisa called me 'George' and everyone pronounced my name the Spanish way: 'Horhe'. Pointing this out to Mum just made her look sad, so I held my tongue. Frankly, what they called me was the least of my problems. For as long as I could remember, I was tormented by Spanish-speaking jackanapes – this very day they'd rubbed dog shit on my face on the way home from school. They'd managed to get some up my nose and no matter how much I washed my face the stink remained. But they'd been trying to make me eat it, so I guess I got off easy. Like she always did, Lisa Lisa found us and saved me before they could force the shit all the way in.
