late I have decided to go back to school, to make a difference and impact lives; to take the challenge of living and not just existing. I am 60 years old, and it’s a “now or never” kind of a thing, but as they say “It’s never too late,” to get an associate degree in psychology and write a book. A song, a quote and a few selected women come to mind as I venture into this path of attending Colorado Christian University.

As this chapter illustrates, Finny enjoys getting himself into tight (and sometimes dangerous) situations, and he relies on his natural charm and often illogical view of the world to extricate himself. While military service overtakes the older students, only the 16-year-old boys remain careless and happy in this peaceful world.

When conducting research on another human being, rules must be put in place to protect the dignity and health of that person. That being said, if the person is under no physical or emotional distress, there should not be a need to stop a researcher from continuing or sharing their findings. A reasonable stance in this case would mean do not harm, if that was not explicitly obvious to begin with if you are a decent human being. A person may be your test subject, but that does not mean you can…

Base intervention programs on sound research pertaining to what works to reduce recidivism should be a factor when rehabilitating. Evidence-based practices focus on transferring research to the real world and bringing empirical knowledge into practice. It requires research and theories to be considered in determining what has or has not previously been proven successful and effective for treatment. The…

Joanna Kaylor’s promotion to Associate Researcher, Step I at the Department of Ophthalmology, UCLA Stein Eye Institute.

My strong enthusiasm for the appointment of Dr. Kaylor stems first from her exceptional research accomplishments, and second from my personal impressions of her during our interactions at the biennial FASEB Scientific Research Conference on the Biology…

Summary In this article, Delcourt and associates (1998) outline the implications of the carbonized plant remains to better grasp the effects Prehistoric Native Americans had on the Eastern Kentucky landscape through paleoecological sequence. Specially addressing how Prehistoric Native American populations bred and selected for plant-food resources in Eastern Kentucky during the Pleistocene and early Holocene (Delcourt, 1998). 36 radiocarbon-dated, botanical assemblages, mostly charcoal, obtained…

2.8 Plan and Timeline Phase I research will require only the resources supplied by UMBC and RLM Communications. Additional resources will be required in Phase II and those will need to be secured ahead of our Phase II timeline. In Phase I, the following timeline will be required to secure the stated resources: 3 The Innovation (1-3 Pages) 3.1 Description A detailed description of our innovation is provided in the Technical Discussion and R&D Plan. 3.2 Technical Challenges and Risks…

position to make an informed decision on the future strategies regarding new member attraction. The first four steps of the management-research question hierarchy are the management dilemma, the management question, the research questions and the investigative questions. To begin, we must address the management dilemma in order to conduct an effective research process. The management dilemma of the NCR Country Club is the inability to attract new members to support the renovated facility.…
