Alice Axia’s article discussed overlooked tax deductions. It talked about some of the most commonly missed deductions. Whereas her use of statistics seemed to bolster her arguments, it would have been nice to see her elaborate more about the specific deductions missed. She could have talked about what recourse, if any, a filer would have once he or she realized there was an overlooked deduction. She also should have focused more on why the deductions were overlooked, as that would have made the article more effective. 2. Alice Axia informs us of ways in which we can reduce our tax obligations in any given year. Based on studies she cited, there were cases in which some tax filers were unaware of various deductions they were eligible to claim. In some cases, those...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The development of highly nutritious food products is one of the major issues Food Technologies are dealing with nowadays. The rapid advancement of our world today gave us the opportunity to develop some new products and new insights in the development of our country. In spite of this, we must develop some bridges and break the barriers between the urban and rural areas most especially in the agricultural sector. These food products should be affordable yet with high nutritional value. And the cost of the production should not be very expensive. In connection with this, the researchers will develop a new product from Saba peel and Banana blossom. The researchers will utilize the Saba peel and Banana blossom as the main ingredients in making the patty with the addition of TVP as an additional protein source. Banana peels may be used to formulate preparations with pharmacologic/medicinal, nutritive and energy values. Recycling of fruit peel wastes will not only help lessen solid waste problems but will also help discover important substances that may prove to have vital use. Peel wastes of Saba can then be put to good use before its final disposal. Banana blossom is also considered an edible part of the banana. It is an excellent source of crude fibre in human diet and serves as an antioxidant when ingested. Also, Banana blossom can reduce the body sugar levels of diabetic patients and increase the haemoglobin content of the blood. With the...

A research design includes various interrelated elements that reflect its sequential nature. This chapter is intended to show the reader that you have an understanding of the methodological implications of the choices you made and, in particular, that you have thought carefully about the links between your study’s purpose and research questions and the research approach and research methods that you have selected. Note that in the proposal’s chapter 3, you project what you will do based on what you know about the particular methods used in qualitative research, in general, and in your tradition or genre, in particular; hence, it is written in future tense. In the dissertation’s chapter 3, you report on what you have already done. You write after the fact; hence, you write in past tense. As such, many of the sections of chapter 3 can be written only after you have actually conducted your study (i.e., collected, analyzed, and synthesized your data). To write this chapter, you need to conduct literature reviews on the methodological issues involved in qualitative research design. You need to show the reader that you (a) have knowledge of the current issues and discourse, and (b) can relate your study...

...Running Head: ADOLESCENCES ATTITUDES TOWARDS MENTAL ILLNESS ! ! 1 Adolescences Attitudes Towards Mental Illness Kellie Walker Student Number- 11546766 Charles Sturt University Subject: PSY102 Subject coordinator: Rabul Islam Assignment No: 2 Due Date: 15.09.2014 Word Count: 2,086! ADOLESCENCES ATTITUDES TOWARDS MENTAL ILLNESS Abstract 2 There is a large amount of research evidence which suggests that social acceptance is associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms and a greater willingness to seek mental health support. The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the extent to which a group of adolescents perceived mental illness as being caused by physical and psychosocial causes and their degree of social acceptance. The participants involved in this study were eight boys and eight girls with a mean age of 14.06 (SD=0.92), who were randomly selected from select high schools in NSW. Participants were presented with a vignette and asked to indicate their level of agreeance with a number of closed ended questions. The results of this study found that adolescents showed less social acceptance of behaviour that was perceived to be related to mental illness. Furthermore, the more mental illness was perceived the greater chance it was attributed to a belief in psychosocial causes. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Kellie!Walker!11546766!

...Cover Sheet Title The Effectiveness of Parental Involvement for Improving the Academic Performance of Elementary School Children Reviewers Chad Nye, PhD Jamie Schwartz, PhD Herb Turner, PhD Contact reviewer Chad Nye UCF Center for Autism & Related Disabilities 12001 Science Drive, Suite 145 Orlando, FL 32826 Phone : 407-737-2566 FAX : 407-737-2571 email : cnye@mail.ucf.edu 1 1.0 BACKGROUND The role of parents has long been thought to be centrally important to the academic achievement of their children. However, this role had neither been analyzed nor systematically studied using an experimental design until the 1960’s. The evaluation of the Head Start Program in the United States (Coleman, Campbell, Hobson, McPartland, Mod, Weinfeld, & York, 1966) fostered a national focus on outcomes related to parental involvement by suggesting a substantial relationship between parental involvement in their child’s education and their child’s success in academic domains. Subsequent studies have been presented which support the findings from Coleman, et al. (Duff & Adams, 1981; Henderson, 1987; 1988). Even so, other studies have reported either mixed or no significant differences between experimental and control groups when measuring the effect of parental involvement on student achievement (Griffith, 1996; Heller, & Fantuzzo, 1993; Henry, 1974; Keith, Reimers, Ferman, Pottenbaum, & Aubrey ,1986; Ryan, 1964; Searles, Lewis & Morrow, 1982). Some of the discrepancy across studies...

MCCARTHY QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY HAMDEN, CONNECTICUT SANDRA PIRES BOWLING GREEN UNIVERSITY BOWLING GREEN, OHIO ABSTRACT. Universities have rushed to expand their delivery of courses through ABSTRACT. e-learning environments. But is e-learning effective? The authors conducted an exploratory study to evaluate e-learning through WebCT on the basis of Bloom’s taxonomy. The authors distributed 75 questionnaires to investigate whether individual or instructional factors play an important role in learning when using WebCT. On the basis of analysis of surveys from undergraduate students at a medium-sized university in the southeastern region of the United States, the authors determined that individual and instructional factors do not play a major role in the learning process. Keywords: Bloom’s taxonomy, e-learning, WebCT Copyright © 2009 Heldref Publications worldwide drastic change occurred in the educational system at the end of the 20th century.
