Next to the brain, the heart is the most vital organ in the human body. The brain makes the heart function, but without a heart nothing else functions. In fact, in the absence of brain function, a human body can be kept alive for a surprising length of time as long as the heart can be made to beat. The heart pumps blood through , miles of blood vessels for a daily volume of , gallons of blood. That's enough to fill a x -foot pool feet deep, and the heart does this by beating , times a day, circulating blood throughout the body in a mere seconds from an organ not much larger than a grapefruit. This is why a healthy heart is so important, and why anatomical models are so essential to doctors, cardiac surgeons, medical teaching staff and even grade school and high school teachers.

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 11:54:21 -0400

The whole concept of insurance is that of continuing education. Unless an insurance advisor is seriously in touch with the subject and the changing regulations, he cannot suggest the right kind of a policy to his customers. And customers' expectations also change with time!That is the exact reason why the government has put in a law that all insurance advisors should attend a mandatory training session for a stipulated number of hours each year. Since the laws change from state to state, we can't be specific about it - but it generally is around - hours a year. In that, there is one session which is compulsory - Insurance Ethics; and when you think about it, that is a seriously good condition to have been put into the regulation code. Insurance is such a sector in which there is so much of competition that it is quite tempting for people to skip the little ethics which are mostly in unwritten form. So each year, when there is a brush up on the ethics front, there is a conscience ...

Brown Against the Board of Education

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 12:04:05 -0400

In , thirteen families in the small community of Topeka, Kansas got together to do something about an unjust situation. The board of education of their community was allowing racial segregation in the school system based on an out of date law. The leader of this group of concerned parents was Oliver J. Brown and the outcome of what started out as a few parents trying to make life better for their children became one of the most infamous and influential supreme court cases in history known as Brown versus the Board of Education. The practice of school segregation had become a common and accepted practice in American society despite many movements in the history of civil rights to stop the separation of black society from white.
