Now you have read about the fi rst nineteen years of my life. Sometimes it was maddening, sometimes it was just sad, sometimes it was happy and most of the time unbelievable. I have been accused of being a vicious liar by my Mother. She is even threatening to sue me for lying if I publish this book. She was, is, and I see no chance of her changing in the future, a mean evil wicked woman. I would not wish her on my worst enemy, in fact, she is my worst enemy. She thinks that I live in a fantasy world and live from lie to lie. God and I know the truth, he has been with me all the way and he knows the truth. He also knows who lies and doesn’t own up to their own actions. One out of every 5 girls are sexually abused every hour. I am the one out of my five girls. Where are you in your five? It is my desire to tell all of you ones that there is help and to seek it out. Don’t be ashamed like I was. I want to help you. I wish that all of you twos, threes, fours and fives to get active. You just might have a sister, little child, aunt, friend, coworker who is a one and may need your help. There is much more to my story. I am now over 60 years old and still struggling. I am writing another book to cover my adult years. You will need another box of kleenix and a new bag of chocolate, so be prepared.
A smart, snappy, and comprehensive guide for the millions of adults who are thinking about going—or going back—to college and want to know how to do it right As anyone who has done it knows, going back to school is a major undertaking. For younger and older adults alike, starting or returning to school presents different challenges than those encountered by teens fresh out of high school and heading straight to college. Countless Americans take on this task while working, raising kids, caring for parents, volunteering, serving in the military—and in some cases all of the above. Although the "non-traditional" undergraduate student is in fact the new normal, the glut of college guides out there don't include practical advice for the busy moms, frustrated employees, and ambitious adults who are applying to college or hoping to finish earning a degree. Never Too Late will help readers jump-start a new professional path or speed down the one they're already on by guiding them through vital questions: What should I study? How can I afford the time and money required to get a college degree? How do I compare schools? With key chapters on flexibility ("It's About Time!" and "Face-to-Face or Cyberspace?") and rankings of the best colleges for grown-ups diving back into the books, Never Too Late is an essential reference for adults seeking a richer life—and a meaningful place in our rapidly changing economy and world.
The first set of case studies on animal use, this volume offers a thorough, up-to-date exploration of the moral issues related to animal welfare. Its main purpose is to examine how far it is ethically justifiable to harm animals in order to benefit mankind. An excellent introduction provides a framework for the cases and sets the background of philosophical and moral concepts underlying the subject.Sixteen original, previously unpublished essays cover controversies associated with the human use of animals in a broad range of contexts, including biomedical, behavioral, and wildlife research, cosmetic safety testing, education, the food industry, commerce, and animal use as pets and in religious practices. Scientific research is accorded the closest scrutiny. The authors represent a wide range of expertise within their specialized areas of research--physiology, public policy, ethics, philosophy, law, veterinary science, and psychology. The careful analysis of each case makes it possible to elevate the discourse beyond over-simplified positions, and to demonstrate the complexity of the issues. The Human Use of Animals will be welcomed by students and faculty in law, philosophy, ethics, public policy, religion, medicine, and veterinary medicine. It will also interest activists in the animal protection movement, and members of animal protection organizations and Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees.
