When Trixie Belden’s friend Jim runs away, she and her neighbor Honey jump in an RV and hit the road. Someone has to tell Jim he inherited a fortune—but he needs to be around to claim it! Unfortunately, Trixie and Honey’s troubles are only beginning. The girls learn there’s been a string of break-ins to campervans, making travel more dangerous than ever. What’s worse, a young girl named Joeanne has disappeared into the woods, leaving her family and their shiny red trailer behind. Trixie and Honey worry that Joeanne could be in danger—and the fear only grows as the car bandits get more bold. The race is on to Jim and Joeanne and untangle the mystery of the road trip thieves before the burglars hit the brakes on Trixie’s adventure once and for all.

Trixie is convinced a thief walks among them. And when a few workers suddenly join the staff at Honey’s manor house, Trixie has her prime suspects. This amateur still has a lot to learn about sleuthing, though. If Trixie can’t stop attracting attention, the jewel thief just might set their sights on her.

Esta história conta a trajetória de uma das maiores criminosas da cidade de Raven Town na década de 80. Depois que apareceu, a cidade nunca mais foi a mesma. Pronunciar seu nome já causa calafrios em pessoas que tiveram a sorte, ou melhor, o azar de se encontrar com ela. Esse nome é Elissa Johnson. Sua vida, sua personalidade, seu modo de pensar e agir mudaram completamente depois de um certo incidente que a fez se transformar no que é. Durante esses doze anos, são apresentados outros núcleos que fazem paralelo com a história da mesma e com a cidade. Então, é você quem decide quem é o verdadeiro mal desta história. Prepare-se para sangue, mortes, desigualdade, corrupção e mentes completamente instáveis. Texto de contracapa: (OBS: Gostaria que seja o mesmo da sinopse porém mais abaixo gostaria que escrevesse: Bem-vindo a Raven Town em tom vermelho) Texto da orelha da capa (opcional): "Eu engoli muita coisa na minha vida sem falar ou fazer nada. Eu pensei que o rancor não valia a pena, mas... o prazer da vingança é o melhor sentimento que tem. Melhor que drogas ou até sexo. Eu esperei muito. Sabe como dizem, a vingança é um prato que se come frio... E te falo uma coisa: valeu a pena cada minuto que eu passei esperando por esse momento."

Hospitals are intentionally shirking their duty to identify and report incompetent medical practitioners and it is causing catastrophic injuries to patients. Why are hospitals doing this? Two decades of health care reforms have changed the way physicians and hospitals interact in the U.S. healthcare system, and as a result, the traditional health care oversight tools no longer work to ensure physician competence.With three out of four physicians now employees of hospitals or healthcare systems, hospitals have become the guardians of both the internal and external warnings systems designed to flag incompetent practitioners. As the guardians, hospitals are required to report incompetent practitioners to the National Practitioner Data Bank (“NPDB”), the main quality control tool used to identify and weed out incompetent physicians. Hospitals, however, are intentionally circumventing their reporting requirements to avoid institutional embarrassment, medical liability, and physician alienation. This negatively impacts the ability of the more than 24,000 entities that query the NPDB to effectively determine whether a practitioner is competent for purposes of licensing, hiring, and credentialing.This Article offers a solution--switch the data bank from a blacklist of incompetent providers to a database of the employment and hospital affiliation histories for all medical providers. Have the NPDB or private accreditation organizations require hospitals complete a mandatory questionnaire for all practitioners during the credentialing process. Implementing these solutions will achieve three salient objectives: (1) improve the process whereby hospitals investigate whether a medical practitioner is competent to practice medicine prior to hiring or offering the practitioner privileges; (2) pave the way for state-based tort claims to hold hospitals accountable for inaccurate disclosures regarding a practitioner''s competence to practice medicine; and (3) eliminate the stigma associated with being listed in the NPDB which causes practitioners to practice defensive medicine and avoid admitting mistakes.

Ever wonder where everything we see and use comes from? The Bible tells us that God made everything in heaven and on earth. He made you and He made me. He made the moon and sun and stars. Inside you will find some of the many things Jesus, who is God, has provided for us.

A comparative analysis, this study examines the interactions of early modern male and female writers within the context of literary circles. In particular, Campbell examines how the querelle des femmes as a discursive rhetorical tradition of praise and blame influenced perceptions of well-educated women who were part of literary circles in Italy, France, and England from approximately 1530 to 1650. To gain a better sense of how querelle language and issues were used for or against learned women writers, Campbell aligns selected works by female and male writers, pairing them to analyze how the woman writer responds, deflects, or rewrites the male writer''s ideological script on women. She focuses first on the courtesan Tullia d''Aragona''s response in her Dialogo della infinità di amore to Sperone Speroni''s Dialogo di amore, and contrasts the actress/writer Isabella Andreini''s pastoral La Mirtilla with Torquato Tasso''s Aminta. She then discusses the influence of Italian actresses upon the manners and mores of French women of the Valois court, especially focusing on performative aspects of French women''s participation in court and salon rituals. To that end, she examines the influential salon of the aristocratic, learned Claude-Catherine de Clermont, duchesse de Retz, who encouraged the writing of positive querelle rhetoric in the form of Petrarchan, Neoplatonic encomiastic poetry to buttress her reputation and that of her female friends. Next, Campbell reads Louise Lab D‘t de Folie et d''Amour against Pontus de Tyard''s Solitaire premier to illustrate the tensions between a traditional and nontraditional querelle stance. She then discusses Continental influence upon English writers in the context of the Sidney circle in England. Moving to the closet dramas of the Sidney circle, Campbell examines the solidarity these writers demonstrated with nontraditional stances on querelle issues, and, finally, she explores how three generations of English literary circles con

Young people worldwide are participating in ever-increasing numbers in online fan communities. Far from mere shallow repositories of pop culture, these sites are accumulating significant evidence that sophisticated informal learning is taking place online in novel and unexpected ways. In order to understand and analyze in more detail how learning might be occurring, we conducted an in-depth nine-month ethnographic investigation of online fanfiction communities, including participant observation and fanfiction author interviews. Our observations led to the development of a theory we term distributed mentoring, which we present in detail in this paper. Distributed mentoring exemplifies one instance of how networked technology affords new extensions of behaviors that were previously bounded by time and space. Distributed mentoring holds potential for application beyond the spontaneous mentoring observed in this investigation and may help students receive diverse, thoughtful feedback in formal learning environments as well.

Pesticide and fertilizer usage throughout the United States is coming under increased scrutiny from both the public and scientific communities due to potential negative environmental impacts and perceived health concerns. The three studies presented here focus on evaluating different management plans for home lawns and athletic fields, while also providing improved dissemination of information to athletic field managers. Results of the athletic field and home lawn management plan study indicate that pesticide treatments outperformed non-pesticide treatments across most measures. However, if a non-pesticide plan is desired then the high input organic or high input pesticide-free plan would be preferred over the low input organic or low input pesticide-free plan. Results for the fertility study indicate that a fertilization rate of as low as 5 g N m-2 provided statistically equivalent results across some color/quality measures, though exact rate would be highly dependent on the turfgrass manager’s goal and what time of year a high quality, dark green turfgrass was desired. Finally, the information dissemination study indicated that the large group setting performed better than the small group setting, most likely due to the structure of the small group meeting. Small group attendees had more flexibility to discuss issues that affected them directly. There was less flexibility for large group attendees to deviate outside the main subject matter being presented. However, the value of the small group meeting should not be discounted when specific information is needed. Large group meeting would be preferred when more general information is need by managers.

"Fourteen-year-old Dowty Ritter, an orphan, escapes the confines of the Sioux City, Iowa, orphanage he has lived in since his father''s death three years earlier. Heading for Des Moines, with hopes of joining the army, Dowty is stopped by the law, his plans are thwarted, and he, instead, ends up in the boys'' correctional facility in Eldora, Iowa. At Eldora, Dowty makes friends and enemies, and finds out that the pseudo-military school is far more penal than its name, the Iowa Industrial School, implies. From the beginning of his stay at Eldora, Dowty experiences problems with the headmaster of Cottage Four, a cantankerous bully that abuses the power he holds over the boys in his care. Dowty works in sweat-shop type conditions, and faces daily beatings after he and his friends are turned in for a possible escape plan. The camaraderie of friendship makes life at Eldora bearable, especially because Dowty and his closest friends, Carl Hoffman (a long-time resident) and Skinny Petersen (a twenty-two-year-old at Eldora in order to avoid jail time) share a supreme desire to escape the abuse at the school. One boy dies, others suffer extreme harm; a derailed escape ends in a riot that results in the overthrow of the existing administration, and through everything, Dowty tries to remember and remain true to his father''s teachings."--Abstract of thesis.
