Financing an Office, Personal Investments, and Money Management

Today\u27s medical doctor is very much like today\u27s lawyer, engineer, or accountant in that he is trained very highly in his own field, but has received very little educational background for successfully managing the office he operates. Although I am not an expert in any of the areas which I am about to discuss, I would like to pass along some observations, most of which are drawn from experiences I have had while practicing as a CPA. There is no set way to handle many of these problems, and I can only present some of the pros and cons I have heard and experienced over the years in these different areas

Kinship care: Policy and practice in the Shenandoah Valley

Kinship care has a long history of being used as a system of care for children whose parents are unable to care for them. However, it’s formal utilization is much newer in the United States and has significant impact on both families, workers, and society in general. My research explored how the Shenandoah Valley has employed kinship care in various counties. The findings of the study were that while children benefit substantially from kinship care, it is largely underfunded and lacks the support that could allow it to make the biggest positive impact on all parties involved

ANTICIPATORY AND REACTIVE RESPONSES TO CHOCOLATE RESTRICTION IN FREQUENT CHOCOLATE CONSUMERS

Many individuals have difficulty adhering to a weight loss diet. One possible explanation could be that dietary restriction paradoxically contributes to overconsumption. The objective of this study was to examine ingestive behavior under a forced chocolate restriction, with a focus on the anticipatory restriction period and the post-restriction period in frequent chocolate consumers. Fifty-six male (N=18) and female (N=38) high chocolate consumers with high or low cognitive disinhibition aged 27.70 ± 11.09 years with a mean BMI of 25.68± 5.92 kg/m2 participated. Chocolate snacks were provided for the first, second, and sixth week of the study to establish baseline, pre-restriction and post-restriction consumption respectively. Chocolate snacks were replaced with non-chocolate snacks during a three week chocolate restriction period. Highly disinhibited participants felt more guilty and consumed significantly more energy than low disinhibited participants across multiple snack conditions. Low disinhibited participants consumed significantly less in the post-restriction period compared to baseline and the pre-restriction period, while high disinhibited participants consumed the same amount across all conditions. Aggregating the data, high and low disinhibited chocolate consumers ate snacks more frequently in the pre-and post-restriction periods compared to the baseline period. This study suggests that for some individuals, i.e., those that exhibit high disinhibition and feelings of guilt about snacking, restriction of chocolate may be contraindicated for energy restriction and weight management

LABOR PRODUCTIVITY WITHIN THE AFRICAN AGRICULTURAL HOUSEHOLD: THE HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTION MODEL REVISITED

The benchmark concept is used to understand changes in farm household response to development dynamics. 1996-97 cropping seasons data from Cameroon is used to develop and test a "separate spheres" household model. Labor productivity for men and women is discussed, along with their implications for research and resource management policies.agriculture, labor productivity, gender, production, consumption, Consumer/Household Economics, Labor and Human Capital,

First Occurrence of \u3ci\u3eHippodamia Variegata\u3c/i\u3e (Goeze) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in Ohio

(excerpt) Ladybird beetles, or coccinellids (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), are significant arthropod predators in a variety of terrestrial ecosystems. Numerous classical biological control projects undertaken over the last 120 years in North America have involved importation of exotic ladybird beetle species for the control of invasive insect species in annual and perennial agricultural production systems
