cost of a stethoscope does not change my action. With respect to worrying about debt, there are likely other tradeoffs I can make in my personal life to avoid a stethoscope. I would rather go with that route. While some may have the personal integrity to not be influenced by receiving a stethoscope, I prefer not to put myself in that position in the first place. While the taking the stethoscope seems somewhat unsavory, I do not see an issue with listening to the lecture. Taking the opportunity to be informed of a potential treatment does not seem unsavory. While I could see the potential concern that even taking in the presentation could bias ones judgement, one should approach this with a mindset of extreme skepticism. Nothing that presentation says can remove that fact that the treatment is new and that true effects and benefits, or a lack of them, can take decades to reveal. Therefore, I am using the presentation to be aware of a treatment to potentially monitor over the next decade or so, to see how others have used it and what their findings were. Excluding the rare case that treatment is for cases where the downside of iatrogenics is outweighed by the severity of the patient’s illness and there exist no other alternatives, I would not use this treatment until both large and long samples have helped to shine some light on the treatment. Therefore, while some may avoid the presentation, I would rather not pass on an opportunity to learn about the existence of a treatment…

Methodology I have always had a fascination with homesteading. It began with my father’s stories of growing up on a homestead and his memories of the animals and the garden. His stories bloomed into reading autobiographies of homesteaders, such as The Good Life by Scott and Helen Nearing, and Hard Times in Paradise by David and Micki Colfax. These stories are what led me to live in rural Hawaii where many collect rain water, grow our own food, and have learned to be less consumer driven. While…

MILLERSBURG — For her role in removing a change machine from a Millersburg area business, a local woman on Thursday was sentenced to local jail time. Kimberly Foster, 27, of 625 Kenton Alley, Apt. A, Millersburg, previously pleaded guilty in Holmes County Common Pleas Court to an amended charge of attempted burglary. In exchange for her guilty plea, a related charge of theft was dismissed. The state also agreed to dismiss an unrelated charge of aggravated trafficking in drugs (meth). She'd faced…

the bottles are sterilized, filled with water, labelled, and packed into cases for shipping. In addition to PET plastic, bioplastic is a common material produced from plant materials that bottles can be made from. It is biodegradable and can be tossed in the compost but despite contrary belief, it is not environmentally friendly. Production of bioplastic requires large amounts of resources like water, and agricultural land that could be used to grow food. Disposable, plastic water bottles also…

SAT and all 34 high school credits. The fourth college I researched was Louisiana state university or LSU home of the tigers located in Baton Rouge Louisiana. This school is a university of agricultural, mechanical and a military academy, it was founded in 1853. LSU is ranked the 62nd school in the country but is ranked 50th in business schools. And has a high acceptance rate of 16.3 and is a high ranked public school. But LSU 4-year graduation rate is 6 percent points lower than the…

In a topic that is widely discussed on campus and seems like a no brainer to many has had a bunch of people working, wondering, and wishing. From 1897 to 1986 Wichita State University played competitive football at many different levels including the KCAC, CIAC, and our current conference of the Missouri Valley. Boasting a 375-402-47 record and 14 conference titles the Shockers were at best a sub-par team. Over history the Shocker football team endured some tough times and none were more…

was harming animal and plant life, along with the land itself. Just as Theodore Roosevelt was entering his first term as president in 1901, questions concerning conservation arose. Going forward, several acts and laws were passed in order to preserve and protect…

Land surveying is the technique of determining position of points on the earth and using them to define boundaries and draw maps. It divides the land into parcels by providing correct descriptions, which is then assigned for ownership and other purposes. The original charter group from England brought the “Metes and Bounds” system of describing land or real estate to U.S. where it had been used for many centuries. It was used in the original thirteen colonies that became the United States…

The paper I have chosen to do a referee report on, "Contributions of the US state park system to nature recreation"by Juha Siikamäki, analyzes the economic contributions of state park systems in the United States. The stated goal of the paper was to estimate the net contributions of state parks in the US to help aid policy makers, and the public, with public policy and management decisions. To do this the author uses a novel approach to help with estimating the economic contributions of a state…

With the advance of technology there is a new form of survey that is creating a lot of debate. It is called Coordinate based Cadastre. A GPS/GNSS based system of survey. In today’s world of surveying the debate is, whether to stay with the tried and true methods that are in place today for surveying, or do adapt and embrace the ever advancing new technology in the form of a coordinate based cadaster. This debate is being felt all over the world. Many provinces in Canada and other countries of…
