Abstract
This paper describes the binomial theorem, which is based on the idea of expanding powers of sum. According to the paper, it provides an easy way to methodologically expand terms that are summed or raised to a power. The binomial theorem can be used for all real or complex numbers x and y. The paper concludes by noting that there exists a pattern to this expansion, despite the appearance that the binomial theorem seems like a trivial calculation.

From the Paper
"The binomial theorem is based on the idea of expanding powers of sum. It is very important and very popular and provides an easy way to methodologically expand terms that are summed or raised to a power. For example, the most popular expansion is the square of a sum, given by: (x+y)^2 = x^2+2xy+y^2...................Equation 1 Equation 1 shows how to expand the squared sum of two terms, and shows the value of each term after expansion. The binomial can be used for any number of powers needed for expanding the sum, in fact the general version of the binomial formula is..."

Abstract
The paper argues that the broadcast model of communication, while superficially attractive, is not as sound as some of its chief "boosters" believe. The paper further argues that the dialogue model of communication which privileges privacy and security in inter-personal communications is - while assuredly not perfect and while certainly impossible to achieve 100% of the time - nonetheless valuable in a society wherein people are more likely to speak the truth and engage in vigorous debate if they feel their communications will be protected from the invasive gaze of others. The paper contends that it is rather naive to assume the superiority of the broadcast model when the dialogue model offers so many advantages.

From the Paper
"The following paper will argue that the broadcast model of communication, while superficially attractive, is not as sound as some of its chief "boosters" believe; moreover, the dialogue model of communication which privileges privacy and security in inter-personal communications is - while assuredly not perfect and while certainly impossible to achieve 100% of the time - nonetheless valuable in a society wherein people are more likely to speak the truth and engage in vigorous debate if they feel their communications will be protected from the invasive gaze of others."

Abstract
This paper describes a proposed model for career counseling, the custom combination model, which provides a GUI offering counselors the ability to specify student situations and work environment to obtain a list of the applicable career counseling theories and necessary technologies for a particular student's career path, taking into consideration adaptation for rapid change due to globalization and lifestyle phases of the student. Interviews with counselors and a university dean are summarized and related to the model's capabilities.

From the Paper
"Career counseling is extremely beneficial for university students seeking guidance on what course to pursue in their lives. It is not, however, an exact science. Difficulties can arise, for example, because existing models are not comprehensive enough to include all of the contexts currently available for today's students. In addition, the constant changes taking place because globalization in global systems, economies, technologies and the world of work, create a moving target that is difficult for career counselors and students..."

Abstract
The present health care system is in urgent need of radical overhaul. This paper presents a model health care system that offers an alternative to a white male dominated biomedical model, which maintains and reinforces social inequality and social injustice. This model is comprehensive and inclusive. It is a model that evolved from one main question about what determines the health of individuals and communities in Canada.

From the Paper
"As government officials and many members of the public are aware, I am an activist and advocate for Native rights. Through my collaboration with First Nations on unresolved land claims and health issues, I am firmly convinced that Native health and the health of other minority groups will not improve until the underlying conditions for these groups are changed."

Abstract
This paper applies the Gibbs Reflective Model to a hypothetical clinical encounter. The writer explains that the Gibbs Reflection Model is one of several procedures that allow a professional nurse to assess professional competence through the analysis of a clinical encounter. The writer discusses the attributes of the Gibbs Reflection Model, that is a six element cycle through which a professional service deliverer can identify, reflect on and assess professional competency. A clinical encounter is assessed in this paper through application of the Gibbs Reflective Model in a professional nursing scenario.

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that the Roy Adaptation Model is a model for nursing practice that reflects the person's adaptation to his or her environment. The writer discusses that within the model there are four specific adaptive modes that serve as subsystems for the individual or group.

From the Paper
"These subsystems are: * Physiologic-physical: Focusing on the individual this adaptive mode pertains to the individual's basic needs and the "four complex processes". In relationship to the group it ..."

Abstract
This paper integrates the nurse's role as teacher and educator with the Health Promotion Model. The paper addresses such issues as the client's need for health promotion, the professional nurse's role in teaching and learning, perceived barriers of the Health Promotion Model, and the integration of the nurse's role and the Health Promotion Model.

From the Paper
"The role of the nurse is ever-evolving in today's health-care arena. Long seen as merely an assistant role, and one that did not necessitate responsibility, it has now become a role of being a teacher and educator. One of the main theories that is leading the way in health care today is that of the Health Promotion Model. This model envisions a way for those seeking health care to promote and better their own health and lifestyles. These two ideas, the nurse as teacher and the Health Promotion Model, converge."

Abstract
This paper examines one particular economic model, the aggregate supply-aggregate demand model, both as an abstract economic model and as a way of helping to predict in a rational fashion the direction that the U.S. economy may be taking in the future.

From the Paper
"Those of us who are not economists may tend to think of such terms as "aggregate supply" or even "recession" as vaguely incantatory words that conjure up not ways to describe rational if complex (and therefore in many ways unpredictable) process but the dark arts of sorcery. But while economics is certainly not a precise natural science like chemistry (because the phenomenon involved are both so complicated and so subject to change because of different historical influences), it is of course a rational methodology through which to explain the ways in which various resources flow through the human community."

Abstract
This paper reviews three articles that discuss some form of financial risk modeling methodology. The articles discussed are "Model-Based Stress Test: Linking Stress Tests to VaR for Market Risk" by Carol Alexander and Elizabeth Sheedy, "Risk and Probability Measures" by Phelem Boyle, and "Realized Volatility and Correlation" by Anderson, Torben, et al.

Article Reviews
Alexander, Carol and Elizabeth Sheedy. "Model-Based Stress Test: Linking Stress Tests to VaR for Market Risk".
Boyle, Phelim. "Risk and Probability Measures."
Anderson, Torben, et al. "Realized Volatility and Correlation."

From the Paper
"Volatility is the focus of all risk modeling in financial analysis because the greater the volatility the greater the risk of the investment or a portfolio exhibiting a high degree of volatility. Anderson et al, in "Realized Volatility and Correlation" describe how volatility has come to dominate risk modeling literature and that this literature has increasingly focused on "higher-frequency data". Thus begins these researchers' quest to attempt to match actual volatility levels with more accurate forecasting techniques."
