Come with Piper as she experiences her first overnight stay at the hospital. Join Piper as she meets Miss Jamie the Child Life Specialist, Dr. McNice, the nurses and the techs; all working together to make her stay as nice as it can be. Beamer the therapy dog narrates this delightful story. He introduces us to some of the very special people we can find at Children’s hospitals everywhere, gently caring for those we love. “Being a patient in the hospital can be a very scary time. Thanks to Cindy Chambers for writing this book to help all children cope with being a patient in the hospital, and for highlighting the role of the child life specialist. Our child life specialist is a critical member of our team. We could not do what we do without their expertise.” Lucas R. Collazo, M.D. Director of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery and Co-Director of the Pediatric Heart Program Medical Staff President, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus Inova Children’s Hospital, Falls Church, Virginia “A hospital stay can be frightening and confusing to children with special health care needs and their families. Tell Me Town’s Piper Stays Overnight At The Hospital gently follows young Piper as she meets a Child Life Specialist who helps navigate the hospital visit and manage medical procedures. Advance reading of Piper’s story will alleviate the anxieties of a pediatric inpatient stay. This delightful adventure with Piper, Miss Jamie and Beamer offers children and families a great opportunity to predict and prepare for an important medical experience.” Kelly Henderson, Ph.D. Mom and Executive Director, Formed Families Forward Instructional Faculty, College of Education and Human Development George Mason University, Fairfax Virginia “Piper Stays Overnight At The Hospital introduces two specific “helpers” found in many pediatric settings - child life specialists and therapy dogs! Having retired from Child Life, I appreciate the description that Child Life Specialist Miss Jamie provides about an IV start and some useful coping techniques. The narrator, therapy dog Beamer, is a delightful character who makes important observations about the hospital experience. By design, this book has a slightly different approach from others in Cindy Chambers’ series because it does not describe a specific reason for a hospital admission, and thus allows a family to make a personalized adaptation of the story.” Jerriann Myers Wilson, M.Ed., CCLS Retired child life specialist

When is it appropriate to return individual research results to participants? The immense interest in this question has been fostered by the growing movement toward greater transparency and participant engagement in the research enterprise. Yet, the risks of returning individual research resultsâ€"such as results with unknown validityâ€"and the associated burdens on the research enterprise are competing considerations. Returning Individual Research Results to Participants reviews the current evidence on the benefits, harms, and costs of returning individual research results, while also considering the ethical, social, operational, and regulatory aspects of the practice. This report includes 12 recommendations directed to various stakeholdersâ€"investigators, sponsors, research institutions, institutional review boards (IRBs), regulators, and participantsâ€"and are designed to help (1) support decision making regarding the return of results on a study-by-study basis, (2) promote high-quality individual research results, (3) foster participant understanding of individual research results, and (4) revise and harmonize current regulations.

Grayson County is famous in southwestern Virginia as the cradle of the New River settlements--perhaps the first settlements beyond the Alleghanies. The Nuckolls book is equally famous for its genealogies of the pioneer settlers of the county, which, typically, provide the names of the progenitors of the Grayson County line and their dates and places of migration and settlement, and then, in fluid progression, the names of all offspring in the direct and sometimes collateral lines of descent. Altogether somewhere in the neighborhood of 4,000 persons are named in the genealogies and indexed for ready reference.

These walls have watched the witches; the witches have watched the world. These walls now turn against them -- some evil's been unfurled. . . . The one thing any Halliwell witch has always been able to count on is Halliwell Manor, the ancestral home of the Charmed Ones and one of San Francisco's historical landmark homes. The grand old house has sheltered generations of women, and bits of Charmed history are practically built into the walls. So when the Manor seems to have turned against its inhabitants, needless to say, the Halliwell sisters start to worry. It begins simply: The hot water heater is broken. No big: Leo's great around the house. But this is no simple plumbing problem. Soon, the Manor seems to be messing with the girls, Leo, and Wyatt in increasingly malicious ways. Thankfully, the Book of Shadows has created a safe zone for itself in the attic. But the Charmed Ones can hardly live up there forever. . . . Can they find out what's turned their safe haven into an evil lair before it's too late -- for the Manor, and for them?
