Abstract
This paper provides a review of the mid-Atlantic bed and breakfast industry through a survey of various bed and breakfast owners and a review of the success of bed and breakfast start-ups in the region. This review includes data on the general employment and unemployment rates in the mid-Atlantic region and a discussion of the reasons for displacement from the manufacturing industry. A review of the pros and cons of entering into a new bed and breakfast establishment, or entering into an established bed and breakfast, are then also presented. A short review of the skills and requirements that are necessary to run a successful bed and breakfast establishment is also presented. Finally, a discussion of the merits of entering into the trade is presented.
From the Paper
"We have also seen, however, through a telephone interview with a high-ranking official at the United States Bed and Breakfast Association, that the number of bed and breakfast establishments in the mid-Atlantic region decreased by over 25% in the previous four years, and that the main reason he could see for the failure of this number of businesses was a failure on the part of the owners to devote themselves, wholly and efficiently, to the setting up and day-to-day running of their bed and breakfast establishment."

Abstract
Loss of pregnancy before 23 weeks happens in 10 - 20 % of pregnancies. It is associated with chromosomal defects in about one half to one third of the cases. Many interventions are used, but bed rest is the most common. The objective of this review is to evaluate the effect of prescription of bed rest during pregnancy to prevent miscarriage in women at high risk. The paper concludes that although bed rest is widely used to reduce the risk for preterm birth, there is no evidence that this practice is beneficial. Further research evidence is needed to support or refute the efficacy of bed rest in women with high risk for miscarriage.
From the Paper
"Currently there is not enough evidence to support the use of bed rest in multiple fetus pregnancies. Although there is a suggestion that fetal growth is improved, no other risk reduction is evident. For uncomplicated twin pregnancies, the risk is actually increased if bed rest is used. Further research evidence is necessary to be able to recommend this clinical practice."

"The Bed and Breakfast (B&B) operations are believed to have been the first form of accommodations available to travelers however, those establishments have historically been replaced by inns and hotels. The Bed & Breakfast (B&B) is however, making a comeback for travelers who prefer a "home-like" hospitality with breakfast served to begin the day. Because this business is making a comeback entering into this type of business is desirable however, requires an understanding of what makes the Bed & Breakfast operation marketable and thereby profitable. The origins of the Bed and Breakfast Inn is historic, based on the traditions of New England and Europe. Country inns, indigenous to New England, provided food and lodging to travelers and locals, and were often a focal point for a community."

Charlie Smith?s ?Beds?, 2005.
Examines how Charlie Smith constructs a poem from a Whitman-esque catalogue of beds he has known.

Abstract
In his poem, "Beds", Charlie Smith charts his journey through addiction, through a catalogue or 'heaping figure' of beds he has known throughout his life. The paper examines this technique and the importance of metaphor as tool for raking through challenging subject matter.
From the Paper
"Whatever one chooses to call the technique, Smith's handling of it is masterly. He takes an everyday object and uses it as a vehicle through which to explore a situation and its accompanying emotions. He continually implodes the object through constant re-inspection, "heaping" one kind of bed upon the other, exhausts it, turning it over and over, examining it ever closer until it ceases to be merely a bed and becomes a metaphor for each step of his journey. Smith's catalogue of beds are the landmarks of his recovery."

"Talking in Bed" and "Metamorphosis", 2005.
A critical analysis of Philip Larkin's "Talking in Bed" and Franz Kafka's "Metamorphosis".

Abstract
This paper examines how the poem by Philip Larkin, "Talking in Bed" discusses alienation and isolation from humankind. It looks at how the poem can be compared to Franz Kafka's, "The Metamorphosis", because it deals with isolation and estrangement from one's own comfort. In this case, his home life. It discusses how both works deal with ontological issues- the state of being- and present themselves in a bleak, murky tone and how Larkin and Kafka both share experiences of isolation and alienation from their societies.
From the Paper
"The sense of broken communication is well displayed through the structure and form of the poem. The iambic pentameter and the three-tercet rhyme scheme (aba, cac, dcd, eee) portray the absence of continuity and the broken-up nature of the couple's discourse. Each stanza in the poem, with exception given to the third stanza, contains end-stopped lines. This form displays the isolation of each stanza in relation to the couple isolating themselves from one another. "At the unique distance from isolation/It becomes still more difficult to find" (Larkin, 9-10) discusses the unique isolation the couple is faced with and contains no end-stop punctuation to separate the two verses.

Abstract
This paper discusses how malaria in Western Kenya, an increasingly serious disease, is responsible for more deaths in the area than HIV/AIDS. The paper reports that the advent and introduction of impregnated mosquito bed netting has raised hopes of a new method of combating malaria. According to the paper, numerous studies attest to the fact that impregnated nets significantly reduce the transmission and infection of malaria in the region; especially among very young children.

From the Paper
"The literature also provides a wide range of studies that show that previous conventional methods of fighting malaria have proven in general to be ineffective. This aspect is concisely outlined in an article entitled, When Disease Resists; Malaria's Toll Rises in Tropical Regions As Effectiveness of Chloroquine Falls Off by David Brown ( 1994. ) This article refers to an aspect that has already been touched on; namely that the malaria parasite has become resistant to many previously effective agents. "...the microorganism that causes malaria had become resistant to chloroquine, the standard medicine used to prevent and treat the disease for the previous 40 years." ( Brown,1994) The study also refers particularly to the Kenyan situation."... researchers in Kenya - where chloroquine has been useless for a decade - reported that more than 25 percent of malaria cases in a recent study were resistant to the two more modern and expensive antimalarial drugs, mefloquine and doxycycline." ( Brown,1994) This again raises the central concern that modern drugs are proving to be less and less effective in the fight against malaria."

Abstract
The paper explores a common problem in the control of diabetes, nocturnal hypoglycemic episodes. The paper explains how many people experience hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) levels during the night. As a remedy for this situation, many doctors have suggested a snack before bedtime to help get the patient through until morning. The paper discusses how there has been mixed evidence from clinical studies that indicates that a bed time snack may not always be able to control night time hypoglycemic episodes. The research examines the role of carbohydrate loading throughout the day as a possible solution to the dilemma. The paper concludes that this study will play an important role in the development of better guidelines to help patients control their diabetes.

"Diabetes is a condition that affects millions of people on a global basis. It presents a major medical expense for insurance companies and if not controlled, can lead to serious side effects such as stroke or heart disease. In 2003, it was estimated that close to 194 million people suffer from diabetes around the world (IDF, 2003). In 1985 it was estimated that 30 million people had diabetes. The IDF estimates that by the year 2025 nearly 350 million people will have some form of Diabetes. Among the nations monitored by the IDF, North America has the highest percentage of diabetes in the world."

Bed Sore Prevention, 2002.

Abstract
The sight of bedsores on a patient has often meant that the health care facility neglects its patients or has non-hygienic conditions. This paper looks at a theory called the Braden Scale which can be used by health care centers to assist in predicting and preventing bed sores. The cause of bed sores or pressure sores are discussed and prevention treatments are analyzed.
From the Paper
"Bedsores are a difficult problem for patients who are in wheelchairs or immobile. Bedsores, pressure sores, and decubitus ulcers can be defined as meaning the same thing. ?Pressure sores represent localized tissue death. They can occur in any individual and are triggered by a number of factors; some of which are external factors to do with the physical environment and some internal factors to do with a person general health status? (wmunro 2002).
It can be said that the only way to prevent these is no pressure, but that is impossible. These are difficult to treat and cause the patient severe pain. ?However, decubitus implies bedridden, and many types of wounds with the same pressure-induced etiology occur in nonbedridden patients; thus, the more appropriate term is pressure sore or pressure ulcer? (Fonendo 2002). ?Pressure sores are a serious problem. It has been estimated that 3% to 5% of all hospital inpatients will develop pressure sores either just before, during, or after admission? (wmunro.com 2002). ?The pathogenesis of pressure ulcers consists of more than simply pressure-related necrosis. Skin is usually resistant to this type of destruction, yet these ulcers evolve to include the skin? Fonendo 2002). Factors that increase the risk of bedsores are age, skin thinning, weight loss, and vascular insufficiency."

Unholy Bed Fellows, 2005.
A look at how religion affects our contemporary secular society.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The following paper examines how a study of religion can also serve invaluably as a tool for understanding a society. Among other things, the paper explores how religion can compel an individual to ask questions of contemporary society, understand why certain social and institutional phenomena exist, and how the present-day law is informed by historic religious sensibilities. The paper suggests that a firm grasp of religion is necessary to having a firm grasp of current society.
From the Paper
"In our present-day society, the idea that religion may very well serve to inform us about the world around us is one that is met with skepticism in some quarters and laughter in others. Nonetheless, a case can certainly be made that the study of religion today is vital to gaining an insight into what our world is now - and may be in the future. To begin with, it may be said that religion and the study of religious tenets provides - or should provide - a moral lens through which to view the world. For the noted Thai Buddhist speaker and writer, Sulak Sivaraksa, religion is not only a personal matter or "private conversation" but a means by which concerned citizens can work against injustice, exemplify liberation and freedom and transform societies (Baumann 2005 para.4).

Abstract
In the early 1990s, many American cities used youth curfews to combat juvenile crime, and at the time, civil liberties groups opposed the measures as indiscriminate restrictions on the free movement of innocent and guilty alike ("Young Criminals: Early to Bed").
From the Paper
"In the early 1990s, many American cities used youth curfews to combat juvenile crime, and at the time, civil liberties groups opposed the measures as indiscriminate restrictions on the free movement of innocent and guilty alike ("Young Criminals: Early to Bed"). Curfews have been instituted even more widely since then, with varying results. Curfews are also used to combat specific kinds of problem, as when cities use curfews to address a local gang problem or the prevalence of young drug dealers on streetcorners. Curfew restrictions are popular in some areas and unpopular in others, popular with the older generation and unpopular with the younger. They have been effective in some situations and not in others. An analysis of the issue suggests reasons for the disparity.
Curfew restrictions extend back many years, and one of the ..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that research shows the value of sleep and the value of a healthy breakfast. For this reason, it is assumed that going to bed early and waking up early in the morning to have breakfast will help one to be healthier. The writer maintains that these actions should be part of any health regimen and can contribute both to physical and mental health, making the individual not only physically healthier but also more mentally alert throughout the day. The writer concludes that the link between adolescent behavior and health later in life is well known now and changing patterns to get more sleep and to eat a good breakfast is thus a step toward long-term health and well-being.
Outline:
Introduction
Sleep
Breakfast
From the Paper
"The human body reacts to a human sleep cycle. At the beginning of the cycle, a brain chemical called serotonin starts the cycle, and this leads to the production of the hormone called melatonin. Soon after melatonin is produced, deep sleep takes place for some 4-5 hours. During this time. hormone is active and helps to regenerate the body. The last 2-3 hours of sleep are much lighter, and this time involves the cycles of the sexual hormones, with cycles that are active about the time the individual is waking. To match these cycles, the individual should be sleeping for some 7-71/2 hours. If the individual gets less sleep than this, then he or she is limiting the time for recovering from the stresses of life, which can add additional stress to the body each day. Also, improper and inadequate sleep does not support the primary hormones active while asleep. Since these hormones are the chemical messengers of the body and are vital to health, improper sleep patterns stress hormones and does not contribute to health."

Abstract
This paper introduces discusses and analyzes the topic of gastric bypass surgery. It incorporates the book, "Good in Bed" by Jennifer Weiner, with research into the surgery and continues with personal reasons why the writer chose to have gastric bypass surgery. It explains how obesity is becoming chronic in America, and the weight loss industry is one of the most profitable in the country. People try drugs, severe diets, and just about anything to lose weight.
From the Paper
"Being fat in America may be more common than it was even ten years ago, but there is still a stigma attached to being fat, as anyone who is overweight clearly knows. In the book "Good in Bed," the protagonist, Cannie, is a "plump" heroine who struggles with weight issues her entire life. The book gives a little taste of what it is like to be fat in a thin world. "The scales at the University of Philadelphia's Weight and Eating Disorders Center looked like meat carts. The platforms were about four times the size of normal scales, with railings all around them. It was hard not to feel like livestock when you climbed aboard [?]" (Weiner 114). Just as this passage shows, the overweight in America live a different life and I know, because I was overweight for a substantial portion of my life."

Jonathan Swift, 2008.
An analysis of the them of impurity in Jonathan Swift's "The Lady's Dressing Room" and "A Beautiful Young Nymph Going to Bed".

Abstract
This paper examines Jonathan Swift's poems "The Lady's Dressing Room" and "A Beautiful Young Nymph Going to Bed", works which might inspire, from their nauseating subject matter, more than a mere blush to rise out of one's body. It looks at how both poems glory in the grotesque impurity inherent to humanity, and particularly to feminine humanity, which were apparently conceived as mutually exclusive. It also discusses how Swift employs nauseatingly graphic descriptions of women in his poetry not to denigrate women, but to mock a literary and social tradition that would place women in only one of two categories: that of the angel and that of the whore.
From the Paper
"These categorizations of angel and monster become problematic in "The Lady's Dressing Room" and "A Beautiful Young Nymph Going to Bed" for several reasons, the first one being the unrelenting focus Swift puts on the physicality of both the women in the poems, which is obviously incompatible with the image of the angel. What makes these poems so interesting in juxtaposition is that they both scrutinize women to the same degree. In "A Beautiful Young Nymph Going to Bed", Corinna is most certainly not a lady; she is from its first lines established as the angel's antithesis, the whore. Unlike Celia, whose social status as a Lady makes her already quite angelic, Corinna is evidently of a low social class; there is no Betty to help her with her dressing. Instead, Corinna has only a bevy of stray animals who desert her "in a parodic reversal of the usual community of servants who attend to the dressing ritual" (Nussbaum 110). "

Pressure Sores, 2005.
A discussion of pressure or bed sores.

Abstract
The paper discusses pressure sores, what causes them, and how to treat them. The paper further examines how nurses should be vigilant in preventing pressure sores from occuring.
From the Paper
"A pressure sore is also known as a pressure ulcer or bed sore. A pressure sore is a "localized area of cellular damage resulting from direct pressure on the skin causing ischemia, or shearing or friction forces causing mechanical stress on the tissues" (Clay, 2000, p. 45). Prevention of bed sores should be basic for nursing, yet it is not just a widespread problem but is one that is rapidly increasing. Part of the reason is that some nurses are not aware of this issue or how to prevent it."
