We are ready to Chip a Bitch....Are you? Family is everything and we will fight for it.

Ned Thomas Beatty was brought into the world in Louisville, Kentucky, to Margaret (Fortney) and Charles William Beatty. He grew up fishing and chipping away at ranches. His old neighborhood of St. Matthews, Kentucky, is not really the climate to energize a profession in media outlets, however, so when inquired, "How could you get into the entertainment biz?" Beatty reacted, "By spending time with some unacceptable group." That "swarm" incorporates a portion of the business' most conspicuou...

We are already to Chip a Bitch...Are you?Fighting for our families is the most important thing in our lives.

This book presents a carefully constructed framework for teaching and learning informed by philosophical and empirical foundations of phenomenology. Based on an extensive, multi-dimensional case study focused around the ‘lived experience’ of college-level teaching preparation, classroom interaction, and students’ reflections, this book presents evidence for the claim that the worldviews of both teachers and learners affect the way that they present and receive knowledge. By taking a unique...

Sandra Visser and Thomas Williams offer a brief, accessible introduction to the life and thought of Saint Anselm (c. 1033-1109). Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury for the last sixteen years of his life, is one of the foremost philosopher-theologians of the Middle Ages. His keen and rigorous thinking earned him the title "The Father of Scholasticism," and his influence is discernible in figures as various as Thomas Aquinas, John Duns Scotus, the voluntarists of the late-thirteenth and fourte...

In 1895, Franklin County Public Hospital (FCPH) was founded by 36 citizens led by Dr. Adams Calhoun Deane. The newly incorporated hospital rented the former home of Rev. Dr. Francis Robbins and served 55 patients in its first year of operation. By 1898, FCPH moved to the larger Converse House and then to purpose-built facilities at 164 High Street in 1910. The hospital trained nurses, including Susie Walking Bear Yellowtail, class of 1927, the first Native American graduate in the United S...

Over the last four decades the public trust in government in the United States has fallen dramatically due to a "perfect storm" of contributing factors, such as a seemingly never ending string of political scandals, partisan polarization and toxic attack politics, and miserable failures to respond to natural disasters or the devastation of the Great Recession. This book contains the academic presentations that were made at the Symposium on Advancing Excellence and Public Trust in Gover...

It is no secret that since the 1980s, American workers have lost power vis-à-vis employers through the well-chronicled steep decline in private sector unionization. American workers have also lost power in other ways. Those alleging employment discrimination have fared increasingly poorly in the courts. In recent years, judges have dismissed scores of cases in which workers presented evidence that supervisors referred to them using racial or gender slurs. In one federal district court, jud...

Age-related issues, including diminished capacity, can be a significant indicator of the potential vulnerability of a client to undue influence, and also an indicator that our population as a whole is aging. Elder abuse has been called "the crime of the 21st century." Undue influence is a form of financial abuse of the elderly, with the large number of reported cases and estimated $1.17 billion in damages just the tip of the iceberg.Looking at the topic from a legal perspective,

Reportable Portraits is not merely a performance about something or in any specific form. More than any topic it follows a rhizomatic net of resonances and traces, its agglomerations and loose endings. It's a piece that addresses the gaze into the inside; a piece that trusts in the performers. Towards an inefficiency that has no need to alienate anything. The link lies in the conceptual and its interest in the small things. It places an open space before any result, it drives the individua...
