From the New York Times bestselling author of Practice Makes Perfect comes an expanded edition of The Temporary Roomie - a witty and relatable romantic comedy about finding joy in the unexpected, with a never-before-seen chapter. No one said fair trade needed to be ''fair.'' As the owner of Honeysuckle Salon, Jessie Barnes usually has everything managed and on track, but now in her third trimester of an unexpected pregnancy, she feels a bit lost and increasingly desperate after faulty plumbing floods her apartment. Unfortunately, her knight in shining armour is actually Dr. Drew Marshall, her best friend''s brother, and also the man she chewed out not too long ago for being a chauvinistic dirtbag. Every moment Drew''s had to prove her wrong since then has failed, so Jessie''s opinion of him hasn''t improved. That remains the case when he agrees to let her stay with him during renovations, under one condition: she pretends to be his girlfriend for upcoming work festivities. For the sake of her brother, Jessie is willing to make the tough situation work, and giving Drew a taste of his own medicine sounds . . . intriguing. But when their rivalry sparks a deeper connection, Jessie''s future gets even more unclear - and with a baby on the way, she''ll have to make a decision soon.

This book provides an overview of professional musicians working within the healthcare system and explores programs that bring music into the environment of the hospital. Far from being onstage, musicians in the hospital provide musical engagement for patients and healthcare providers focused on life-and-death issues. Music in healthcare offers a new and growing area for musical careers, distinct from the field of music therapy in which music is engaged to advance defined clinical goals. Rather, this volume considers what happens when musicians interact with the clinical environment as artists, and how musical careers and artistic practices can develop through work in a hospital setting. It outlines the specialized skills and training required to navigate safely and effectively within the healthcare context. The contributors draw on their experiences with collaborations between the performing arts and medicine at Boston University/Boston Medical Center, University of Florida/UF Health Shands Hospital, and the Peabody Institute/Johns Hopkins Medicine. These experiences, as well as the experiences of artists spotlighted throughout the volume, offer stories of thriving artistic practices and collaborations that outline a new field for tomorrow''s musical artists.

Being a dragon is hard when you always scare people away. An endearing story about special abilities and freindship.

Cities, states, affordable housing advocates, scholars, and others are looking to Oregon as the earliest adopter of statewide reform of restrictive residential zoning. Oregon''s bold new “middle housing” mandate required cities throughout the state to end the monopoly of single-family residential zoning--a monopoly borne from a century old policy preference for economically and racially segregated neighborhoods, a monopoly that undermines affordable housing reforms by inflating rent and sale prices in U.S. cities.Oregon''s new law required cities to amend their zoning codes to allow “middle housing” in residential areas that allow single-family detached housing and to remove other regulatory requirements that effectively exclude small-scale multi-family and clustered housing by increasing development costs. By requiring cities to allow middle housing, the law facilitates development of duplexes, triplexes, cottage clusters, and other forms of housing that proliferated before the widespread adoption of single-family residential zoning.This Article provides an overview of Oregon''s 2019 middle housing law, examines the subsequent administrative rulemaking, and draws lessons from cities'' efforts to amend their zoning codes to implement the new law. Drawing on theoretical and empirical research, the Article finds that Oregon''s middle housing law took significant and unprecedented steps to dismantle exclusive single-family zoning, increase the supply of affordable housing, and remove inter-neighborhood mobility barriers. The law stopped short, however, of including affordable housing mandates or incentives and did not invalidate existing restrictive covenants or common interest community governing documents that limit lots to single-family use.Moreover, a grand compromise in the administrative rulemaking effectively allows large cities to continue to permit exclusive singe-family zoning in some residential areas and potentially dilutes the middle housing mandate in master planned communities. Enforcement issues and the likelihood of litigation over perceived and actual conflicts between the middle housing requirements and local codes may also limit or delay the effectiveness of Oregon''s middle housing law.Finally, although the Oregon legislature''s broad suite of laws targeting housing affordability and equity are essential components of housing reform, absent reform that directly addresses the inequitable distribution of residential amenities across neighborhoods and the environmental and other harms caused by allowing industrial and other high-intensity land uses to be sited in and near multifamily and less restrictively zoned single-family neighborhoods, housing justice will remain unrealized.

Previous research studies have focused on patient outcomes related to healthcare interventions, but there is little research available regarding nurses'' involvement in activities that would advance the profession. The theoretical motivation behind the study is Ray''s Theory of Bureaucratic Caring that proposed healthcare personnel consider incorporation of the business aspects of healthcare to propel nursing into the future. Ray dared nurses to become leaders in the field, understand the corporate aspects of healthcare, evolve bedside nursing through research activity, and build future nurse leaders with political and mentorship works. The study considers characteristics Ray demanded nurses take to control the future of the profession and advance the nurse''s role in healthcare.

New York City, like other major cities around the world, has acknowledged the problem of climate change, undertaken a comprehensive risk assessment, created a suite of adaptation and mitigation planning initiatives, and begun to implement policies to decrease the city''s contribution to the problem and to make the city less vulnerable to the effects of climate change. This detailed analysis of the city''s climate change resilience initiatives concludes that, although many of the city''s initiatives provide a model for other coastal communities, the initiatives likely still fall short of what is required to sufficiently moderate harm from dangerous interference with the climate system. The city''s robust suite of initiatives put it ahead of the pack as compared to most other U.S. municipalities, especially with respect to comprehensive reform of zoning and building codes, integrated mitigation and adaptation planning, transparent climate change-related data analysis initiatives, and commitment to reduce GHG emissions 80% by 2050 from 2005 levels and progress toward that goal. However, the city also faces a host of wicked policy binds, ineffective regional structures, a lack of support at the federal level, and numerous conditions that constrain its ability to remain resilient. In light of this, the “toughness” theme that runs throughout the city''s plans risks undermining its robust data analysis and reporting initiatives by instilling in New Yorkers a false sense of security with respect to both the scope of the problem and their local government''s ability to protect them from it. The city faces an equally wicked policy bind with respect to waterfront development. Given the foreseeable risks of increasingly intensive and frequent coastal storms, flooding and storm surges, coastal municipalities must carefully evaluate their waterfront development policies to assure consistency with future climate risks and vulnerability and adopt regulations that curtail or eliminate waterfront development in high-risk areas, encourage or require relocation away from vulnerable areas, and take maximum advantage of opportunities to develop natural flood-mitigation infrastructure.

One gaze across the ballroom changed my life forever.Lady Mary Ashburn intends to end her Season in London the same way she has ended her past four Seasons--as a single independent woman. If it weren''t for her determination to help her friend make a match, she wouldn''t be in London at all. Spending the rest of her days as a spinster sounds vastly more enjoyable than having her heart ripped out and humiliated like it was during her first Season. Risking that fate a second time is not worth opening her heart up to anyone. At least, that''s how she feels before the mysterious earl, Lord Robert Hatley, arrives in London and fills her life with a romance like she''s never known before. Torn between her growing feelings for Robert and her fear that his intentions might not be true, she must decide if she is willing to risk her heart again. Her choice only gets more difficult to make when her first love reappears with a changed heart and a determination to win her trust and affection again. Finally receiving love from the man she could never quite let go of could not have come at a worse time. Mary must choose between three different paths, each one at a cost that she fears will be too great.

This collection of essays is the initial product of the second meeting of the Environmental Law Collaborative, a group of environmental law scholars that meet to discuss important and timely environmental issues. Here, the group provides an array of perspectives arising from the Fifth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Each scholar chose one passage from one of the IPCC''s three Summaries for Policymakers as a jumping-off point for exploring climate change issues and responding directly to the reports. The result is a variety of viewpoints on the future of how law relates to climate change, a result that is the product not only of each scholar''s individual knowledge but also of the group''s robust discussion.
