The Expatriate
The Expatriate is a fast-paced thriller tracking the unfortunate adventures of an American family in Brussels. Businessman Jeffrey Tate's complicity in a business deal gone wrong turns his opportunity abroad into a nightmare, throwing his family into chaos and putting his career, not to mention his life, in jeopardy. Jeffrey Tate, a well-regarded young business executive, is transferred to Belgium to head up a large American construction company's expansion efforts overseas. Tate is immediately faced with a decision that involves a large petrochemical plant in Iraq. A Belgian company needing chemical plant expertise brings the business to him. The Belgians convince Tate to involve his company in the project, violating a new U.S. law forbidding American business firms from entering into contracts with certain undesirable countries such as Iraq. Tate then becomes entangled in a web of blackmail, international conspiracy and murder, placing himself and his company in considerable legal trouble, while putting himself and his family in great physical danger as well, in great.
Supporting Self-Regulated Learning and Student Success in Online Courses
Students who self-regulate are more likely to improve their academic performance, find value in their learning process, and continue to be effective lifelong learners. However, online students often struggle to self-regulate, which may contribute to lower academic performance. Likewise, less experienced online teachers who are in the process of implementing—or have implemented—a shift from in-person to distance learning may struggle to enable their students to employ effective self-regulation techniques. Supporting Self-Regulated Learning and Student Success in Online Courses examines current theoretical frameworks, research projects, and empirical studies related to the design, implementation, and evaluation of self-regulated learning models and interventions in online courses and discusses their implications. Covering key topics such as online course design, student retention, and learning support, this reference work is ideal for administrators, policymakers, researchers, academicians, practitioners, scholars, instructors, and students.
Early Warning Systems and Targeted Interventions for Student Success in Online Courses
Online learning has increasingly been viewed as a possible way to remove barriers associated with traditional face-to-face teaching, such as overcrowded classrooms and shortage of certified teachers. While online learning has been recognized as a possible approach to deliver more desirable learning outcomes, close to half of online students drop out as a result of student-related, course-related, and out-of-school-related factors (e.g., poor self-regulation; ineffective teacher-student, student-student, and platform-student interactions; low household income). Many educators have expressed concern over students who unexpectedly begin to struggle and appear to fall off track without apparent ...

Just My Two Cents
Two scores and seven years ago, I set foot on American soil in order to pursue my Postgraduate medical training at New York University Medical CenterBellevue Hospital, New York City, New York. Now, looking back upon the vast time-span of the five decades gone by, I can hardly believe that our national landscape has undergone a sea change. According to an old Oriental adage, Even Mother Nature changes in a decades time, thus the inevitable changes have turned at least five times over beyond recognition. America as we know it today is a drastically different country from what we observed back in the 60s: many a thing that was acceptable back then is no longer even permissible, or downright ill...
