Can Anyone Summarize This Case For Me? I’m Reading It And I Just Don’t Understand…?


The Brattle Center (TBC) is a struggling mental health clinic based in Harvard Square. Its founder, Dr. Joan Wheelis, is a nationally recognized practicing psychiatrist who has developed outpatient treatment programs based on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD).
DBT requires teams of people with different types of expertise and so the original operating model developed by Dr. Wheelis was one in which TBC was staffed by a large number of part-time clinicians, known as the “affiliate model.” Changes in the health care environment, particularly the advent of managed care, have put very real pressures on this model and the company is now in a state of crisis.
Dr. Wheelis is trying to decide whether and how to keep it going. The key decision is whether to shift to a “staffing model” based on a larger number of full-time clinicians. This will require a larger patient population to make the economics of greater fixed capacity viable.
TBC is trying to decide whether to join the Blue Cross Blue Shield network, which would increase its patient population but at rates much lower than it currently charges by only taking private patients. Dr. Wheelis is also pondering whether to start a non-profit foundation as a way of getting money to support its teaching and training programs, or even making the company a non-profit itself.

“close Reading” Of This Poem?


I have to do a close reading of the poem that is listed below.
Basically I have to “present my information and argue for its persuasiveness by making claims about how the tests language makes meaning and supporting my claim with examples and analysis. I do not even understand what this poem means to begin to answer this. Help would be great!
Here is the poem:
They’re Hypnotic, But
By Jason Bradford
Sometimes I am depressed by jellyfish
floating in aquariums, carelessly
drifting, no brain, bodies like balloons, strings
dangling about, feeling out their niche;
stinging handlers; like siblings, the caress
the curves of their cylinder encasings.
The situation doesn’t confuse me,
the reduction of an ocean to a bathtub,
tracing parameters, hopelessly
expecting change with every touch.
Maybe the pang beneath my ribcage is
connection. What if they had hearts?
What is space was bred into their bodies
but they can’t grasp why the reflection hurts?

Evolution Question (need Experts)?


I’m reading the beak of the finch and I just got done reading it. There’s a quote that says…
“Chimpanzees in the last day of the African rain forests are teaching their children how to crack nuts with stones. They are taking the kinds of halting,modest steps that might, if favored, if selected for many generations, carry them on a path toward something like our niche. Watching them, human observers notice striking variations in intelligence from individual to individual. Where there is genetic variation, there is room for selection and evolution. Probably in every line of primates there are a few, like Imo on her island, who could lead their kind in our direction. But at the moment of course that path is blocked. The thinking niche is taken, at least for the moment.”
I don’t understand what the few lines mean. If anyone knows, please tell me what it means esp the the thinking niche is taken…

Advertising On Facebook Is What Type Of Internet Marketing? And What Are The Best Services To Try To Sell?


Facebook Advertising is part of Internet Marketing, that I understand. But there is a more niche type of marketing it is, and I can’t think of the name (want to know, so I can do some research, and reading about it). And secondly, what are some good sources to go to for promoting products/services with high referral fees, and pay outs?

How To Get Famous On Youtube – Secrets Revealed!!?


TO ALL THOSE READING THIS: you are either a person who wants to get noticed or you think you have the answers to this question or you’re just passing by. The point is, with all of people claiming to know the answer to getting subscribers, viewers, etc…I have yet to run into somebody who has a formula to achieve this. I bring this to your attention because I have studied trends, viral marketing, points and highlights from all over the net. I have, after I have done everything that was suggested such as creating responses to video, blogging, posting on forums, creating high quality content, creating different channels, and much more: I have discovered there is no formula, as of yet, to achieving more views..I want people to know this because if you want to give up, then maybe you should. But if you want to make videos because that’s who you, then keep on doing what you love and there is always a shade of hope that maybe you will be discovered. From what I have seen, there are great youtubers out there who never get attention and then there are those that get attention and nobody knows really knows why. Is youtube bias towards some countries and do other countries get faster responses…we all hope, that one day, one of our videos will get discovered or that people will be attracted to what we create. If you have been making videos for the past few years and still no results, then you and I have to seriously rethink things here. We need to come up with an answer that is outside the box, something new, something different. I have spent years on these yahoo answers and the majority of people who post on these sites have never been success in large youtube attention. First of all, what is attention, 5000 views, 50,000 or 100,000. I would like to say that 50,000-100,000 views on a video that you made is amazing but others might have different standards.
I know 3 people personally who have had viral videos of more than 100,000 hits and all these people have no idea why it happened or how?
The point that I am trying to make is that you should try anything and everything because youtube is a mystery and unpredictable. So the predictable in theory won’t work, not that it won’t! If you are just starting out, do what you do and you never know what may happen.
I will fill you in a few things that are Universal..that the world hungers to see such as emotion(double rainbow), faces like Justin bieber, charm, beauty, character or personality that is different, cute, attractive, ordinary but extraordinary(the man with the golden teeth) etc
I write this because after 3 years of youtube creation, after dozens of channels, parody’, songs, skits, , some HD, other’s just SD, etc..and having one video reach 50,000, I still need to re-evaluate these things, to ask myself why I do this and if I am doing it for the right reasons. I always come back to these forums just to see if there is something new out there I haven’t done yet…
“keep the youtube dream in your pants until youtube or the world yanks it out for a *******”
