Edward Gein was born in August 27, 1906 in La Crosse. He is the son of a timid alcoholic father and a fanatically religious mother. Gein grew up alongside his older brother Henry, in a household ruled by his mother’s puritanical preaching about sins of lust and carnal desires. His father, George Philip Gein, died from a heart attack caused by alcoholism on April 1, 1940. After his father's death, Henry and Edward started to odd jobs in order to cover living expenses; Both considered handymen, however, Edward considered babysitting the most. On May 16, 1944, Edward and his brother were both burning away marsh vegetation on the property, but fire started to go out of control which drew the attention of the fire department. By the end of the day,

Charles Mann's "1491: The new revelation of the Americas before Columbus" has been around since 2005 and has created quite a bit of excitement for fans of history. There are many reviews of this book, which is largely centered around an unknown history of America before Columbus "discovered" the New World in 1492. I want to take a little different, and more biological, see the book though. Of course, this is a great history book, but also a great science, particularly biology, the book. While much of the history contained in the book comes from eyewitness accounts of history, most also come from scientists from the fields of archeology, epidemiology, genetics, botany, and others. Reading this book will give you a good background and practical

As mentioned by Calloway in the beginning of the “Documents” section, it is important to consider that historians often disregard stories due to their lack of understanding and that these stories can provide insight into the lives of individuals who lived through certain times in history. As pointed out by Leslie Marmon Silko, origin stories should not be taken as fact. I think that viewpoint supports the idea of possible migrations.

In the documentary Ancient Voices “Tracking the First Americans” the argument made is Who were the first Americans? They came up with the conclusion that the first Americans were descendants of Australian Aborigines. The evidence provided are prehistoric skulls one being named Lucia she is known as being the first American and what was so special about her was the facial features she possessed which matched closely to the people of Australians and Melanesia. Also images of Armadillos that died out way before the last Ice

Speaking of skeletal remains, there is evidence of body modification at Cahokia. Gregory Perino discovered filed teeth at Cahokia. These findings showed observers that this practice was only done for a short period of time in the transition from Late Woodland Period to the Mississippian period. According to Perino, the siginificance of filing teeth cannot be explicitly determined but majority of them were thought to be ambassadors; but the fact that these filings were also found on young persons, throw off the conclusively of saying this was due to differentiating in social status (Perino 1967:541).

In both articles, infants’ gazes are crucial to the experiments conducted. Whether reacting to disappearing objects in Baillargeon's article or identifying with someone of the same skin color as said in Spelke and Kinzler’s article.

Evidence-based practice is an approach used by health care professionals to continually use current best evidence-based research to make ethical and reliable decisions regarding patient care. “Research to promote evidence-based practice is becoming more and more a part of the regular work of health care leaders” (Grand Canyon University, 2015, p. 1). However, it is important to determine the difference between solid research and flawed research that provides unreliable inferences. Evidence-based research includes focusing on a clinical question; and includes the review and incorporation of several studies to strengthen the results of the new study (Grand Canyon University, 2015). Roddy et al. and Ganz et al. articles will be assessed to determine if the recommended changes were backed by solid research that warrants changes in a hospital.

The Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a legal document used by schools in order to map out a plan of action for those that are in need of special education. An IEP is created for students who have been classified with a disability and are between the ages of 3 and 21. An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a written statement of the educational program designed to meet a child’s individual educational needs. Every child who receives special education services must have an IEP. An individualized education program has the goal of setting reasonable improvement

According to the standard accepted theory, the Clovis people were the first inhabitants of the Americas. The Clovis people crossed the Beringia land bridge during the period of the last ice age, from there they spread across the Americas through an ice free-corridor. However, recent finding have suggested that the first people did not walk to America but came by boat. This paper will examine evidence found in Haida Gwaii and other sites along North and South America that supports a different view of human migration to the Americas, the coastal migration theory.

Moreover, due to the nature of the initial inhabitants traveling in small groups and being very mobile; few sites, many in caves, emerged across the Americas as “the colonists swept across the vast unpopulated continent” (Curry 11). In the coming years a number of “caches of Clovis tools were uncovered across North America” (Curry 14). This led to a vast majority of “archaeologists signed on to the idea that the Clovis people were the first Americans” (Curry 15); and to the renouncement of any that dared to think differently. The announcement of Dr. Jenkins’s discovery acknowledges and regains credence to those that questioned the recognition of the Clovis people as the first Native Americans. The examined coprolites, bones, spearheads, and sagebrush twigs backed by Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and independent lab radiocarbon dating stipulates further postulation as to the medium of how colonists arrived to the New World and to the origin of their lineage. The fact that many of these early colonizers stopping points involved caves; the Paisley Caves serve as a rear viewpoint in history that stands at the crux of our understanding of our past, and that forces researchers “to come up with a new model for the settling of the Americas"

Management in healthcare institutions obtains presentations that pertain to workers’ injuries and illness costs. The figures acquire adequate support from the management provided that the data cites credible and the right references. However, researchers lack adequate hard data and research backing to defend direct and indirect cost ratios that they frequently utilize in relation to the safety-related literature.

Both authors believe in similar curricula. Ungar states, “ They develop patterns that help them understand how to keep learning for the rest of their days”. He is basically saying that pursuing a liberal arts program won't just help one make money, but actually teach something heart filled and practical. It’s a life long learning process. Gitlin states, “ A strong liberal-arts curriculum could teach them about their history, their social condition, themselves.” He is basically implying that we need to study liberal arts because it helps us understand and study our past, so we don’t make the same mistakes over again. It also helps students grasp the idea that they aren’t as different from their past generations as they think, and that we

In “Complexity and the Ten-Thousand-Hour Rule”, Malcolm Gladwell argues that one needs more than innate talent to reach mastery in an intellectually challenging field. He asserts that expertise comes with preparation and time along with talent. Gladwell’s argument focuses mainly on masters in the highest level of their craft. He claims “that the closer psychologists look at the careers of the gifted, the smaller the role innate talent seems to play and the bigger the role preparation seems to play.” Gladwell defends this argument by providing numerous pieces of evidence in which this theory has proven true and by addressing counter arguments on how masters get to the zenith of their field.

Freedom is what defines an individual, it bestows upon someone the power to act, speak, or think without externally imposed restraints. Therefore, enslavement may be defined as anything that impedes one’s ability to express their freedoms. However, complete uncompromised freedom is virtually impossible to achieve within a society due to the contrasting views of people. Within Mark Twain’s 1885 novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, numerous controversies are prevalent throughout the novel, primarily over the issue of racism and the general topic of enslavement. The characters in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn along with their development take an unmistakable, resilient stand against racism and by doing such in direct relation

Ernest Hemingway is considered an astounding author of his time. He wrote during the early to mid 20th century, and he has published many works that are considered classics of American literature. During his literary career, Hemingway experienced almost a decade without publishing a successful major literary work (History.com). During this time, his last successful work, For Whom the Bell Tolls, was published in 1940, and Across the River and Into the Trees, which was not received well by critics, was released in 1950. After Across the River and Into the Trees was published, reviewers thought he was through as a writer. Hemingway wrote The Old Man and the Sea to prove himself as an author by reflecting upon his life.
