Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When contemplating the broad field of critical care and all of its complexities, rehabilitation and psychology practice is not likely among the top ten services that clinicians, patients, or the public think of, and rightly so. The vast majority of patients who require intensive care arrive at death's door, and many linger in a limbo-like space somewhere between life and the afterlife. The primary focus at this juncture is often on pressing matters such as reestablishing and stabilizing basic bodily functions, optimizing life-saving machine settings, and deciding who does and does not need additional, urgent interventions. Still, just beneath the surface of this fascinating, multilayered environment, the need for psychologists and rehabilitation-oriented clinicians is everywhere, in large part because intensive care stands among the most emotionally intense and physically taxing hospital-based settings for everyone involved - patients, families, caregivers, and staff alike. Despite this, recognition that psychologists and rehabilitation-oriented professionals could and should be more integrated within the critical care team is uncommon. In fact, it can be argued that some European countries are ahead of the United States (US) in this regard (Agarwala, Ahmed, & Patil, 2011; Andreoli, Novaes, Karam, & Knobel, 2001; Jackson & Jutte, 2016; Peris et al., 2011; Sukantarat, Greer, Brett, & Williamson, 2007; Tan, Brett, & Stokes, 2009; Van den Born-van Zanten, Dongelmans, Dettling-Ihnenfeldt, Vink, & Van der Schaaf, 2016). Fortunately, there are growing integrative trends in the US. In 2010, a conference was convened by the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) with broad goals to inform stakeholders about the multiple long-term consequences of critical illness (e.g., Postintensive Care Syndrome [PICS]) and initiate"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Licensing has worked to keep the notary public application process as simple as possible. A prospective notary need only submit a complete application, proof of a $10,000 surety bond, and appropriate fees to the Department of Licensing in order to begin the process. Once an applicant has completed all application requirements and proven that he or she is eligible, the Department will have a new certificate of commission mailed out promptly. New in 2018, notaries public can also apply for an electronic records notary public endorsement, which allows the notary to perform notarial acts on electronic documents as well as paper documents. The application process is similar to the application process for the commission, and can be done at the same time or separately.

Book excerpt: Named for the ironic coincidence of the Irish baby boom of the 1970s, which peaked nine months to the day after Pope John Paul II’s historic visit to Dublin, The Pope’s Children is both a celebration and bitingly funny portrait of the first generation of the Celtic Tiger—the beneficiaries of the economic miracle that propelled Ireland from centuries of deprivation into a nation that now enjoys one of the highest living standards in the world.
