Abstract
The paper discusses how nursing theorists provide the knowledge required to improve practice by describing, explaining and predicting outcomes. Theory guides the practice, education and research of the nursing profession. The paper identifies how Virginia Henderson, who is known as the mother of modern nursing, developed an interactive nursing model. The writer feels that her model is more useful than the other grand theories because it has its source in her own nursing experience rather in abstract theoretical speculation.

Abstract
This paper explains that Virginia Henderson's definition of nursing focused on the function of nursing as being able to assist the individual, sick or well, in attaining and maintaining health. The author points out that Henderson believes there is an exchange that takes place between those who provide care and those cared for that goes beyond the empirical reality of the moment and incorporates the spiritual. The paper relates that Virginia Henderson?s life, philosophies, and theories places the work of nursing into the realm of ?art?, providing a humanist view to a profession easily sidetracked by the drudgery of duty.
From the Paper
"Henderson?s fourteen areas of nursing care, based on health being defined in terms of the physical, psychological, spiritual/moral, and sociological aspects of an individual, formed the foundation for her teaching of principles and practice. The physical area included breathe normally, eat and drink adequately, eliminate body wastes, move and maintain desirable positions, sleep and rest, select suitable clothing, maintain normal body temperature, keep the body clean and well-groomed and avoid dangers and injuries. In the psychological area, the nurse was responsible for communicating with others in expressing emotions, needs, fears or opinions, learning, discovering or satisfying the curiosity that leads to normal development and health and use the available health facilities. In the spiritual or moral area, the nurse should worship according to one's faith, and in the sociological area he or she should work with a sense of accomplishment and play or participate in various forms of recreation."

Abstract
The paper explains that Henderson?s theory is extremely relevant to the care of those facing the end-of-life transition. The author believes that Henderson?s theory thoroughly addresses aspects of the interactive model of behavioral theory, but does not address the functional aspects of providing care nor the means to providing such care through technology, experience, and training. The paper stresses that, regardless of the religious background of the patient or of the professionals involved, it is important to realize that the social configuration and history of the patient will take precedence over any opinions or beliefs of the staff.
From the Paper
"Take as example the case of Ms. Boyd, an eighty-two year old patient transitioning out of the intensive care unit and assigned to surgical until released. Ms. Boys was admitted during a series of heart attacks (myocardial infarctions). Because of her age and past history (she had experienced a double by-pass in 1992), the admitting physician felt the only course of action was angio-plasti. In preparation for the procedure, the cardiologist found Ms. Boyd was unable to participate. Her veins were too small (she weighed 79 pounds at admittance) and her blood pressure too low (readings were averaging 59 over 35). The final diagnosis was that the hospital, with all of its technology, knowledge and care, could no longer assist Ms. Boyd that could not be accessed through hospice services and provided in her own home. Ms. Boyd was terminal and simply waiting for a consultation with hospice providers before discharge into their care."

Virginia Henderson, Eminent Nurse, 2004.
This paper presents Virginia Avenel Henderson, a noted nurse and academic, who helped shape the nursing profession in the 20th century by writing a number of works and influencing the development of nursing standards.

Abstract
This paper explains that Henderson, born in 1897 in Kansas City, Missouri, attended the Army School of Nursing in Washington, D.C., graduating in 1921 to become the first full-time nursing instructor in Virginia. The author points out that Henderson was instrumental in pushing for the inclusion of psychiatric nursing in educational programs in Virginia. The paper stresses that Henderson offered a developmental model of nursing in 1961 based on the assumption that the patient is always a person who requires help to achieve independence.
From the Paper
"Henderson?s life covered all of the major dates in the development of modern nursing as a practice; she contributed to the development of the profession and continues to do so as others follow in her footsteps. She encouraged research in nursing, and nursing research only began with Florence Nightingale at the end of the Nineteenth Century as she observed conditions during the Crimean War and noted significant evidence which led to reform. Early research was directed primarily at improving nursing education and nursing services, and this was because early leaders were usually responsible for both areas at a time when there were significant knowledge gaps. In the earliest period, medicine was still only semi scientific."

Saul Bellow's "Henderson the Rain King", 2004.

Abstract
This paper compares Saul Bellow's definition of happiness in his novel, "Henderson the Rain King", with the concept of happiness laid out in the United States Declaration of Independence. The paper looks at the similar philosophies on happiness in both of the writings and points out that these philosophies are based on the optimism and faith that human beings are inherently decent.
From the Paper
"Perhaps, the best substantiation of the positive consequences of the Founder?s conception of happiness is History itself. Although, some original portions such as a denunciation of the slave trade were rejected from the draft to accede to the wishes of South Carolina and Georgia (The Library of Congress), the fact is America ultimately fought to abolish slavery and is, today, the most vocal and passionate advocate for non-discrimination of all types. Such action has largely stemmed from a collective commitment to the conception of basic human rights such as happiness."

"The Worm in the Wheat", 2006.
A critical overview of Timothy J. Henderson's "The Worm in the Wheat: Rosalie Evans and Agrarian Struggle in the Puebla-Tlaxcala Valley of Mexico, 1906-1927".

Abstract
In his book "The Worm in the Wheat: Rosalie Evans and Agrarian Struggle in the Puebla-Tlaxcala Valley of Mexico, 1906-1927", Timothy Henderson recounts the story of the American Rosalie Evans who sought to prevent her family's Mexican hacienda from being overrun in the Mexican Revolution. The paper argues that while the book is a pleasure to read, that pleasure is in part derived from Henderson dramatizing events. It also shows that the plight of both Evans and the campesinos is acknowledged, but only Evans' plight is sympathized with.
From the Paper
"Henderson is aware that history is not right versus wrong. Although he describes Evans as "brave, intelligent, determined, and even compassionate," Henderson is also aware that "she was obstinate, bigoted, selfish, self-righteous, and prepared to bend the facts" (2). Clearly, Evans was no angel, but neither was she a demon. She had a legal right to the land she was trying to prevent the peasants from overrunning. At the same time, conditions on the haciendas were notoriously poor, including on Evans'. There is no denying the fact that the campesinos who worked on the haciendas of people like Evans were exploited. Henderson does pay lip service to the plight of the peasants and to the negative side of Evans' personality." "

Abstract
This paper presents a thorough analysis and critique of research information reported in an article entitled "Successful Implementation of Six-Sigma: Benchmarking General Electric Company" (Henderson and Evans, 2000). The critique covers areas important to research facilitation including, but not limited to, methodology used, formulation of an appropriate research question, significance of reported substantive literature, research design selection, appropriateness of sample data gathering techniques and data analysis, and importance of conclusions drawn.
From the Paper
"Research endeavors must at all times adhere to the rigors of effective or best-fit research practice. Without stringent controls placed on the area of investigation no research endeavor will advance any body of knowledge. To this end all research must be finely tuned and described as to intent or purpose, phenomenon to be assessed and reported upon, and relevance and efficacy of conclusions drawn."

Abstract
This paper analyzes two economics-related articles from the mainstream United States media from September to November 2006 - "Chairman Seeks Inflation Targets to Calm Markets" by Kevin Hall and "How Much is too Much? Fed Looks for its Comfort Zone in the Debate over Inflation" by Nell Henderson. The paper analyzes the complex dilemmas facing policymakers and economists in dealing with economic issues, such as inflation.
From the Paper
"This view of problems with indices measuring inflation is not unique to the United States, for Canadian policymakers have grappled with similar problems in effectively obtaining measures of inflation according to the various indices - such as the Consumer Price Index - that are used in Canada (Mankiw and Scarth 2005). Given these problems with measuring the rate of inflation accurately, we can understand why some of the commentators in Hall's article express unease about fixing a target rate and imposing changes in monetary policy that may actually - if inadvertently - lead to disinflation."

Female Executions in U.S., 2001.
Discusses cases of two women on Death Row for capital crimes (Cathy Henderson & Erica Sheppard).

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"By the end of the last decade, there were 35 or more women facing execution and living on Death Row in the United States (Baldauf, 1998). If statistics are any indicator, America's justice system is often very reluctant to execute female felons. Baldauf (1998) has reported on studies demonstrating that while women account for one out of every eight Americans arrested for murder, they also represent only one out of seventy of the people who are sentenced to Death Row. Though women are screened out of the process all the way through the criminal justice system, in recent years, the execution of Karla Faye Tucker has fostered renewed attention to the question of how the justice system treats female felons convicted of crimes sufficient to warrant the application of the death penalty. This brief report will consider the question of two women currently on Death Row - both in Texas -..."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the Las Vegas Valley, including the cities of Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas, is the fastest growing region in the United States. New tourist attractions and large casino resort hotels are also being built and opened on a regular basis. This paper looks at the three major factors which may have an effect on construction in the Las Vegas Valley. The first is summer heat, the second is wind, and the third is flash floods.
From the Paper
"Construction in the area is constant. New subdivisions are being built at a tremendous rate to keep up with those who are moving into the area. New tourist attractions and large casino resort hotels are also being built and opened on a regular basis. The city is growing at an exponential rate. The tourist Mecca of Las Vegas is located in a broad desert valley in extreme southern Nevada. Mountains surrounding the valley extend 2,000 to 10,000 feet above the valley floor. The Las Vegas Valley comprises about six hundred square miles and runs from the north to the southeast. These mountains and the metropolitan area?s location at the bottom of the valley have extreme effects on the weather."

Non-Roman Christians: Texts, 2004.
Examines how Roman Christian authors viewed non-Roman Christians through their writings.
1,081 words (approx. 4.3 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The view of non-Roman Christians as constructed by Roman Christians is examined in this paper through three texts. The first two are texts by anonymous authors, both translated by Kenneth B. Wolf and dated 750 and 850, respectively. These two texts represent two widely diverse views of the Muslim faith and the Arab people. The third text concerns the view of the Greek Orthodoxy and is translated by Ernest F. Henderson.
From the Paper
"The initial Roman intention was to achieve peace by means of a marriage between Otto II and a Greek princess. Despite the fact that Liutprand arrives in peace as an emissary to conduct negotiations, by his account, his reception is nothing short of hostile and even barbaric: Liutprand and his companions were held prisoner without food or drink, and in terrible conditions (Henderson, 1910, p. 442). Things never improve throughout the narrative, and the Greeks; most especially the orthodoxy, are shown to be stingy and hypocritical: ?In all Greece - I speak truly and do not lie - I found no hospitable bishops. They are at the same time poor and rich; rich in gold, with which they play from full coffers; poor in servants and implements.? (Henderson, 1910, p. 475)."

Abstract
This paper explains that, with the closing of the Storyville seaports in New Orleans and increased discrimination in the south, numerous musicians began to venture to Chicago and New York with hopes of finding prosperity in their field of business--jazz. The author points out that, in Chicago, the four main styles of jazz were Boogie Woogie, Chicago Jazz, Society Jazz and Urban Blues and the major innovators were Bix Beiderbecke and Benny Goodman. The paper relates that, in New York's Harlem area, which did more for the Jazz age then any other town in the world, jazz flourished in the different styles of bands from big band to spasm bands and in innovators such as Paul Whiteman, James Reese Europe and Fletcher Henderson, which resulted in the Harlem Renaissance that opened the eyes and the mouths of African-American public.
From the Paper
"Bandleader Paul Whiteman was another major New York Jazz figure of the era. He was especially famous for introducing jazz into the mainstream audience of the decade. Not only was he a great performer of the day, be he also gave back to the jazz community as an avid listener and audience member himself. For instance, Duke Willington stated, "no one could fault Whiteman for his generosity of spirit." In 1924, after finishing his evening at New York's Palais Royal, he would stop by around the corner at the Kentucky Club to soak up the sounds of Duke Ellington and his Club Serenaders."
