1. Whitaker, R. C. (2004). Predicting preschooler obesity at birth: the role of maternal obesity in early pregnancy. Pediatrics, 114(1), e29-e36.
The writer brings out trouble with many parents in Miami is simply and squarely how to reduce obesity in children. Research indicates that one in every eight children within the preschool age is obese. The problem is that some parents have remained ignorant of monitoring the lifestyle of their children. The consumption of foodstuffs with high levels of calories remains a challenge to parents from wealthier families. A more worrying situation is that the obese children have a likelihood of becoming obese adults. It is extremely bad for a parent to receive the news that his or her child is obese. A number of mechanisms should be employed by parents, government, and health practitioners to ensure that obesity is kicked out among the children. Participating in the babyhood fitness and weight-loss program can help in reducing obesity among the children. (more…)
On the banks of Vltava River stands one of the modern architectural masterpieces of the city of Prague. The Dancing House has an undulating façade with full view of the Prague castle and Charles Bridge. The site lay empty for close to half a century after Americans in the Second World War accidentally bombed the building that preceded it. Admirers of Gehry’s architecture see his efforts as peaceful reparation for the wrongs committed. On the hand, lovers of original Prague architecture see it as the second American invasion of their city. Nevertheless, the Dancing House exhibits everything about the evolving Prague society (Pesch,14).

I. Introduction
A. Research Problem
Despite Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) being identified as a complex, multidimensional condition requiring multiple treatment approaches, nutritional management is one approach that has been largely ignored. Multiple types of research recognize that foods such as refined sugars, food additives, and fatty acids can be directly linked to ADHD.

Is photography a reflection of reality or an escape from it?
Abstract
This is a proposal of research seeking to look at the specific art of photographic evidence with consideration to its remarkable, intellectual, and societal origins and the interrelations. The issue here is how images in various circumstances express particular aspirations and representational aims, not just in terms of their substance and iconography but also by means of the official and visual production of evidence.

Introduction and Background
Financial management has a lot to do with decision-making. Several decisions have to be made in different levels and phases of investment, corporate financing, asset management, and apportionment of dividends. Investment decisions are mainly centered on three areas, namely opening of new ventures, expansion of existing business ventures, and replacement of existing machinery or introduction of new technology. Investment decisions are succeeded by financing decisions. (more…)

Hills Like White Elephants and No One’s a Mystery Stories – Exploration of Love, Relationships and Romance
Ernest Hemingway’s Hills like White Elephants short story compares with Elizabeth Tallent’s No One’s a Mystery brief narrative in that both works look at the concepts of love, relationships, and romance. Within Hills like White Elephants, Hemingway indicates that heterosexual love is usually unrequited by the male party. The writer also shows that heterosexual romance typically harms ladies. Further, Hemingway indicates that heterosexual relationships are normally exploitative toward women. The author advances the aforementioned arguments based on the relationship that an unnamed male American has with a lady who is named Jig. (more…)
Facts leading to the 1860 Presidential Election and the Outcome
Schisms dominated American society prior to its independence, and particularly in the 19th century. The country manifested many disparities largely built upon geographical realities and ideological factors such as slavery, economic policies, and supremacy between the states and the union. These divergences influenced the policies of the major political parties during the elections of 1860 and spurred the civil war that arose shortly after. The same factors continued to influence the country’s political thought and patterns after the civil war period. (more…)
1. Also referred as the invisible hand theorem, it holds that any competitive equilibrium results to a Pareto efficiency in resource allocation. Pareto efficiency is achieved when there is no further room for improvement, meaning that it is at optimum efficiency level. The central idea in the First Fundamental Theorem is that markets can create a situation of social optimum in which no government intervention is required. Under such circumstances, the government should implement leissez faire policies. However, proponents of government regulations hold that the assumptions required to achieve this theorem are not achievable in real life situations. Notably, a situation where a single economic player holds all the goods at the expense of the rest exemplifies Pareto efficiency but is not a perfect situation under welfare economics. (more…)
