There was a judge in Kansas who was looking for options for the youth exiting the juvenile court system that was not camp-based or a restrictive lock-up. This methodology came from behaviorists and this is the reason it is very person-centered intervention model. As well, the approach is strength and relationship-based. One reason the behaviorists focused on behavior is that behavior is learned and in theory can be unlearned and replaced by something new(McElgunn,…

The Minecraft game remains increasingly popular. As of November 2, 2016, 25,574,101 PC/Java games have been sold, and the site continues to sell thousands every day.

Just considering the load of stress a student who goes to school and takes at least two AP classes, has to stay after school for a sport or a club, and then goes straight to their job has makes me worried for them.

I have enjoyed reading, The Facility Management Handbook and Building Type Basics for College and University Facilities. These are two books that have made me have a better appreciation and respect for the work that goes into facility management and how campuses lay out strategic campus plans to ensure that costs are contained, but to also ensure that campuses look great to attract students, but to also remember that there are infrastructures that need to be in place to also preserve the…

The most important difference between the importance of performance indicators to business personnel and the performance indicators that are important to the facilities personnel is the difference in the terms used to describe building performance contrasted with what business managers consider business drivers. Moreover, performance measures for facilities management focuses on inputs to the delivery of facilities-related services; in other words, data that is focus on efficiency of the…

The learner functions in a similar manner. Inputs arrive at the CPU via some environmental stimuli, processed, stored in memory, and then outputs are derived from the way that information is interpreted.
