Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesse Mayo has had voices and visions in her head since she was a child, working at Clipper Mill, in Hampden, just outside Baltimore. In 1907 she watches her father fall to his death, all in a dream, then begins hearing his cries and others from beyond the grave, deep within her mind. By 1979, she is old and frail, and must respond to one voice that demands answers. This voice, of all the ones that have plagued her over years, is the one that went silent when she wanted to hear it the most. Now that they once again commune, mind-to-mind, the old woman is afraid the process will kill her, but she must persevere even if it does. Her husband, Jim McPherson, has lived with this challenge for sixty years, holding his wife during uncontrollable fits of possession, as she rails at a voice only she can hear. Now, in their last days, she asks him to trust her, to do what she asks before it is too late. He acquiesces, determined to help her, to save her life, even if only for the short time they have left together on this earth. He must identify this voice deep within his wife's mind and placate it, crush it, or do whatever it takes to save her. In this process, he is sucked into a vortex of mind-control and dreams so real that he may die before he awakes, before he can save his Jesse. If you like historical adventure with lots of action, if you ever smelled, touched and tasted using only your memory, if you ever awoke with a dream imprinted upon your retinas that was so real, you weren't sure where or when you were, if you ever coveted the love in an old couple's eyes, if you want to believe in life and love beyond death, you will like SISTERBABY'S MONKEY.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation districts are physical spaces that serve to strengthen the foundations and institutions of an innovation ecosystem. The design, implementation, and management of formalized innovation districts is a new practice area. Research draws upon the experience of concentrated areas of innovation that occurred organically, such as Boston’s Route 128, as well as intentional projects to bring together innovators in large science and technology parks, such as North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park. Existing research focuses on how to define and design innovation districts and evaluate their impact, as well as general policy considerations. In this paper, we review the definitions and benefits of an innovation district, reviewing the existing empirical research on their impacts. We then propose a series of questions to guide practitioners in addressing the economic, physical, social, and governance elements of an innovation district. Finally, we outline some of the challenges in creating an innovation district and ways to measure progress, to allow practitioners to get ahead of potential issues in the future. This paper is intended to help policymakers and practitioners working in innovation and economic development translate the concepts of innovation ecosystems into actionable next steps for planning innovation districts in their communities.

This book was released on 2019-10-20 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research participants are required to give their consent to participate in clinical trials and nonexempt government-funded studies. The goal is to facilitate participant understanding of the intent of the research, its voluntary nature, and the potential benefits and harms. Ideally, participants make an informed choice whether to participate; one that is based on having sufficient relevant knowledge and that is consistent with their values and preferences. Achieving this objective can be challenging, and as such, many scholars have declared the consent process flawed or “broken.” Moreover, clinical trials are complex studies, and compelling evidence suggests that current consent processes are inadequate in achieving informed choice. E-consent offers a dynamic, engaging consent delivery mode that can effectively support making informed decisions about whether to participate in a trial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study provides insights into a specific, hard-to-reach youth subpopulation—those born in agricultural areas in Western Kenya who migrate to large towns and cities—that is often missed by research and development activities. Using a mixed-methods approach, we find high variability in movement of youth between rural villages, towns, and large urban areas. Top reasons for youth migration align with existing literature, including pursuit of job opportunities and education. For youth from villages where crop farming is the primary economic activity for young adults, 77 percent responded that they are very interested in that work, in contrast to the common notion that youth are disinterested in agriculture. We also find many youth interested in settling permanently in their villages in the future. This research confirms that youth migration is dynamic, requiring that policymakers and development practitioners employ methods of engaging youth that recognize the diversity of profiles and mobility of this set of individuals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spies, revolutionary war heroes, and pre-revolutionary belles, as well as some very modern people who report contacts with Presidents Lincoln, Wilson, and Kennedy—these are just a few of the many fascinating people and ghosts parapsychologist Hans Holzer has met in Washington, D.C. Through reputable mediums, Professor Holzer has made contact with restless personalities from the past and lent a sympathetic ear to their problems. He has found that the ghosts that walk in Washington are unique, and through this exciting and telling account of his ghost-hunting adventures there, we, too, are able to meet some of the troubled souls that haunt our nation’s capital, and learn of the undercover work, political intrigue, love, hatred, and unsolved mysteries that have marked Washington’s dark and sometimes frightening past. The ghosts that walk in Washington have deep meaning far beyond the city limits: America’s psychic debt is offered to public scrutiny here by a topflight expert. The result is gripping.

This book was released on 2021-01-31 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because many patients reduce exercise following outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR), we developed an intervention to assist with the transition and evaluated its feasibility and preliminary efficacy using a one-group pretest–posttest design. Five CR patients were enrolled ~1 month prior to CR discharge and provided an activity tracker. Each week during CR they received a summary of their physical activity and steps. Following CR discharge, participants received an individualized report that included their physical activity and step history, information on specific features of the activity tracker, and encouraging messages from former CR patients for each of the next 6 weeks. Mixed model trajectory analyses were used to test the intervention effect separately for active minutes and steps modeling three study phases: pre-intervention (day activity tracking began to CR discharge), intervention (day following CR discharge to day when final report sent), and maintenance (day following the final report to ~1 month later). Activity tracking was successfully deployed and, with weekly reports following CR, may offset the usual decline in physical activity. When weekly reports ceased, a decline in steps/day occurred. A scaled-up intervention with a more rigorous study design with sufficient sample size can evaluate this approach further.

If you were a fan and collector of the original series of Little Books, you will definitely want these! From the author’s afterword: "There are a lot of strange references in this modest collection -- everything from second-run art moviehouses to VHS rental stores -- that will seem quaintly outdated to the modern reader. To me, in retrospect, the stories themselves seem almost wistful, romanticized but not nostalgic, since they were of their time and should not be tampered with to make them smell contemporary when they are not. Very little exploding-head splat aesthetic here. 'Monsters are what you’ll find; the old-school creatures, and a possible answer to the question: Well, what happened to them after?'" Included in this collection: "One for the Horrors" "Last Call for the Sons of Shock" "(Melodrama)" "Gills" "Murder" "The Incredibly Dinky Man" "Afterword: Thirty Years of Monsters"

Book excerpt: A critical issue in international development is how donor-funded programs can support sustainable and long-lasting changes in assisted countries. Among the factors associated with sustainability is improved governance. However, many donor-funded initiatives are focused on achieving results in specific sectors, such as health, education, and agriculture. How can how governance interventions contribute to achieving sector-specific results? This brief explores this question and discusses how international development practice has incorporated recognition of the links between governance and sector outcomes. The brief develops a stylized continuum of how governance elements relate to sector interventions and contribute to expected outcomes. We discuss factors that either impede or impel governance integration and close with some observations regarding prospects for integrated programming. The audience for the brief is the international development policy and practitioner communities, and secondarily, academics with an interest in the topic. Key take-aways include: (1) there is ample evidence of positive contributions from improved governance to sector-specific outcomes, but few guideposts exist for practical and effective governance integration; (2) barriers to integration include urgent sector priorities that overshadow governance concerns, requirements to demonstrate progress towards ambitious sector targets, and complex choices related to measurement; and (3) sustainability and self-reliance are major drivers for integration and are facilitated by the flexibility and adaptation that governance integration enables.
