Abstract
This paper discusses sexual harassment at work and explains the two basic types of unlawful sexual harassment as stated by the Supreme Court. It goes on to explain how a manager should handle the complaint and the protocol that must be adhered to and how there must be no hint of bias in the fact-finding.

From the Paper
''The U.S. Supreme Court has found that there are two basic types of unlawful sexual harassment. The first type is known as quid pro quo and involves explicit harassment such as the demand of a sexual action for maintaining one's position, a promotion, or a raise. The second, vaguer, and more common form is that of the creation of hostile environment, which can involve discussing sexual activities, jokes, displaying suggestive pictures, unnecessary touching, and making comments about the individual's appearance in a sexual manner. These behaviors are only legally considered sexual harassment if they are considered frequent, severe, threatening, humiliating and if "the conduct unreasonably interfered with work performance and the employee's psychological well-being" (Preventing Sexual Harassment: A fact sheet for employees, 2009, Department of Labor). However, even if not legally liable, even if harasser was not the superior in the organizational relationship, the individual may still have violated the workplace code of behavior.''

Abstract
This paper illustrates how the writer performs an in-service for a small group of work colleagues. The in-service is on the topic of newly diagnosed diabetes in pregnant women and is for nursing professionals on the staff of a high-risk obstetrics nursing unit. An introduction is given, the average learner is described, course content is described, instructional methods to be used are given and discussed as to their advantages and disadvantages, educator creativity is discussed and a conclusion is presented.

From the Paper
"The problem of facilitating effective and efficient staff in-services is a large one in the nursing profession. Due to time and staff shortages, as well as the fact that nursing professionals are no longer students, but are indeed skilled professionals, it can be difficult to provide quality training to staff members. Yet, despite the difficulties which face nursing staff educators, in-services are necessary, as continued education is needed to keep nurses on the cutting edge of medical practice, for the sake of the patients. That is why the well-planned and integrated use of instructional methods is so very important to nursing staff in-services. This paper will focus on the use of both traditional and non-traditional instructional methods as they might be incorporated at a staff in-service for a small group of colleagues on a high-risk obstetrics unit."

Abstract
In this paper the author refers to colleagues as the internal customer. The author emphasizes the importance of tranquility in the workplace amongst fellow workers stressing that it is necessary to get on with one's fellow workers in order for the outside customer also to be happy. The author relates that if the inside employee is happy and content with his fellow workers then he will also perform well on the outside.

From the Paper
"Satisfying the employees is therefore, sometimes more important that an external customer. For someone purchasing your product, it is only the product that he comes into contact with, however when our internal customers are satisfied we not only create a pleasurable working environment for them but also give the end user an experience to remember."

Abstract
This paper briefly examines the concept of "whistle blowing" and its ramifications in company stability. The ethical side of this practice is discussed and specific cases and articles about this law are mentioned. The paper concludes with the examination of what can be done to protect innocent parties.

From the Paper
"Whistle blowing has become a major force to be reckoned with in the corporate world. According to Black's Law Dictionary, whistle blowing refers to an employee who reports, and may also refuse to engage in, illegal or wrongful activities of an employer or fellow employees. Whistle blowing is the exposure of fraud and abuse by an employee. Employees are speaking out about their ethical concerns in the workplace more and more. No matter what the ethical demands of a situation are the ability to become a whistleblower can easily cause serious consequences to either the company or employer involved not to mention the serious life long effects on the individual revealing the evidence. As a result of these consequences to the whistleblower the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 was created to protect the individual."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Napoleon Chagnon has become the center of a heated debate surrounding his treatment of a tribal group he and a colleague studied for a number of years. The paper reviews four articles exploring the controversy but fails to find persuasive testimony which shows that Chagnon did harm to the Yanomamo tribe of Brazil, or that he and his colleague engaged in unethical behavior. The paper asserts that the unethical behavior of the review board which sought to ostracize Chagnon suggests that political motivations and not a genuine concern for the standing of the anthropological community is really at the heart of the furor.

From the Paper
"To begin with, Michael D'Antoni writes that Chagnon's work apparently revealed that those men who were the most violent among the Yanomamo people he studied in the 1960s were also the most likely to have many wives and many children - indeed, the most children. Thus, Yanomamo society - again, as determined by Chagnon - was a society characterized by lawlessness and where cruelty prevailed. Unfortunately, Chagnon's depiction of the Yanomamo brought him into conflict with powerful Roman Catholic missionaries and rival academics who felt that Chagnon's portrayal of the most "primitive" people on earth - and his assertion that the violence found in Yanomamo society was somehow characteristic of the true nature of man - were highly misleading. In effect, Chagnon argued - and continues to argue - that it is not modern society which creates war and strife but human nature; moreover, warfare drives the creation of modern societies (D'Antonio 2000:para.2-8)."

Abstract
Within this work the demonstration of the ability of the front desk receptionist to engage in and be a member of the management is discussed. The writer points out that this important member of the communications team must be carefully selected, driven to achieve trust and develop ways in which to effectively lead the hub of the client-corporation, and colleague-colleague communication center to better serve the group and the whole organization.

From the Paper
"As a dynamic member of the management team of any office the front desk receptionist is the hub of organization in any office setting. Acknowledgment of the importance of this position has become increasingly important, as technology is proven a poor replacement for the real representation of a front desk receptionist, either by phone or in person. It is often said that without the support staff's presence in the office those they helps organize are unable to work, wasting time fielding questions that could easily be answered by the receptionist or administrative assistant and constantly looking for things which the support staff would easily be able to find."

Abstract
This paper discusses the iconography of the images depicted on the three Wu Family Shrines in Jiaxiang that date from the Han Dynasty. The author explains that the most important function of these images is to portray how an offering ceremony should be carried out in accordance with Confucian ethics, and discusses their symbolic meanings. The author considers the reasons for believing that the archer figure represents the mythological archer Yi, and explains that the myth of Yi is out of context with the other symbols, which all have something to with maintaining proper Confucian relationships or how to act in an virtuous manner. An alternative explanation within the context of the offering shrine is the ritual of the palace overseer discharging arrows at birds of ill omen. If the archers in the Wu Family Shrines are doing this, then they are portraying people acting in a virtuous manner by fulfilling their duties, which is much more in tune with the filial sons displaying reverence for their father and the officials paying respect to their fallen colleague, as well as the fenghuang representing good government. This paper contains figures.

From the Paper
"Two Fenghuang, or phoenixes, appear on the roofs of each of the homage scenes, and can be identified by their extravagant tales. The symbolism of the fenghuang is remarked on in the Bo Hu Tong, a prominent text from the Han era, which states "The feng huang is the chief among the birds. When above there is an enlightened King, and general peach, then it appears." From this, it would appear that these birds symbolize the existence of good government and peace. If one remembers to bring Confucian ethics into consideration, then this symbol can just as easily be applied to a household as it can be applied to China as a whole. This would entirely appropriate for a tomb or shrine which wishes to portray the virtuosity of the deceased."

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses that the use of the Internet has increased the risk of a patient's health information being read by persons other than the intended receiver. The villains range from insurance companies attempting to determine if a patient has what they consider to be a pre-existing condition to a co-worker who is inquisitive about why their colleague was in the room down the hall. The writer notes that today, with the Internet, with a click of a button, anyone can, with the right information, have access to personal health information even if she is not providing care for the patient. In an attempt to nullify that access, confidentiality statements are used. The writer notes that the intent is to inform the recipient of their responsibility in handling the information and questions wether this is enough.

From the Paper
" Healthcare has become a field or service where it is important to recognize that the duty to warn or the duty to protect is not limited to provider and client. This responsibility extends to third parties as well. An example of this responsibility is the recent case of the Atlanta, GA attorney who was diagnosed with a rare form of contagious tuberculosis. The attorney traveled outside of the country to several other countries with his new wife, on their honeymoon. At the time of travel, he was considered by the Center for Disease Control, as highly contagious. The travel included airplanes, trains, buses and automobiles. As anyone who has traveled on any of these modes of transportation knows, the proximity between him and the other passengers was close. Although the attorney denies it, the CDC states that they warned him to avoid travel, especially travel outside of the country. "

Abstract
Vita Sackville-West was done a monumental favor by Virginia Woolf when she chose to immortalize her colleague, friend, and lover by creating a character named Orlando in her image. This paper shows how we would have known little about Vita had it not been for this unusual character for which she had provided inspiration. The paper discusses the role played by Sackville-West in the creation of Orlando's protagonist and also sheds light on her relationship with Virginia Woolf.

From the Paper
"Victoria Sackville-West who was an early-twentieth century novelist, biographer and gardener developed a deep bond of friendship with the well-known author of her times Virginia Woolf. This bond was soon transformed into a controversial love affair which was celebrated in Woolf's 1928 fictional biography titled Orlando. We must understand that Orlando was not a very famous work because of its surreal plot but it helped to give Vita Sackville-West a permanent and prominent place in the author's life. Woolf admired her a great deal and thus wanted to express her feelings for the writer in this book, which later inspired many other books, films and documentaries. Orlando would have never been written had it not been for the relationship that existed between the two writers because it was during these years, that Woolf observed her lover carefully and felt like paying her a tribute by immortalizing her existence. While most of us have heard and read about Woolf and her sexual orientation, we hardly know much about Vita who was a confirmed bisexual and a prolific writer. And therefore Virginia Woolf probably did her favor by encapsulating her personality in this fictional work."
