1983

Hello Ms. Finkelman, I would like to express my sincere thanks that you have taken time out of your schedule to work with me on my Vocational Rehabilitation Case. I’m aware that you made an exception to your busy schedule to even see me on Monday, 26 October, at 10:30 am. That is why I wanted to ensure that I express my thoughts to you in a written correspondence that you might reference in my absence. Requesting vocational rehabilitation services to attain a doctoral degree is not the normal; I know and fully understand that; however I would like VA to know by doing so they will be fulfilling a lifetime goal of a disabled Veteran. One of the vocational rehabilitation program goals is to help veteran train, or retrain to a new profession that will not aggravate their service connected disabilities, that is my plan, it just executed to a higher degree than most. Presently, educating myself in a new profession at the highest level is in my best interest. My VA disability claim was awarded on or about 1 August 2015, so the true concerns that I needed assistance in were really ignored until they were substantiated by the VA. While educating myself, focus will be on addressing medical concerns and necessary treatment before entering back into the workforce. The medical concerns that I am currently being seen for are as follows: Condition Treatment PTSD Group Therapy Session Right Knee Physical Therapy Sleep Apnea Sleep Doctor Bladder Control Occupational…

Last year the Southern Tier received nearly 81…

The 1983 study by Zihl, Von Cramon and Mai investigates motion blindness, or akinetopsia. The patient suffering with this disorder had a very limited perception of visual motion, motion in depth, apparent motion and did not see motion after effects. Brain damage, specifically bilateral, posterior brain damage, can sometimes result in disturbed perception of color and, as in the case of L.M., motion. More specifically, the area that was damaged was assumed to be the posterior part of the middle…

The overarching topic from the readings for this week is that family climate plays a critical role in the success and longevity of family businesses.

In the article by Prof. Miller (from Frontiers in Psychology), family climate is broken down into three main categories: intergenerational style, family cohesion, and family process. From the readings, along with the research by Prof. Miller, it can be…

Q10 Social and cultural attitude can create a feeling of being discriminated against or a reluctance to speak about your fears to anyone. Telling carer you feel fine when in fact, you don’t! This can have a knock on effect as you are pretending everything is ok but hiding the stress, strain and depression which are getting worse but your support is being reduced.

Let us start with the offensive line. According to walterfootball.com, The top ranked offensive lineman in free agency is Andrew Norwell from the Carolina Panthers. Norwell is only 26 years old and has proved that he is a dominant offensive lineman in the NFL.

Other options available this year for potential…

1.4. Womanism Womanism is a term coined by Alice Walker in her essay In Search for Our Mothers’ Gardens (1983). In her publication, the scholar defines womanism in four ways: first the term defines “a black feminist or feminist of color”, second it describes “a woman who loves other women, sexually and/or nonsexually” and third, as Walker states, womanism refers to a woman who “loves herself” and accepts herself fully (in Mazurek, 2009: 9). In her fourth definition, Walker states that the…
