The people weren't playing or acting, they felt like Henry the 8th, the Ripper and the poor Mary Jane Kelly. My son had to go up for the hanging and he went out with wink, a wave and a grin on his face. Thnx! Next time in London, we will ab-so-lute-ly go down again!

Bob and Krista with Focus on You Video are super nice and a pleasure to work with. They covered every minute of our wedding to its fullest and stayed for the entire reception to make sure they didn't miss a single moment. They did an excellent job filming and putting together our Love Story video. They did my sister's wedding video and their editing skills are superior to any videographers I have ever seen. We are very excited to see our wedding video and highly recommend Focus on You Video.

Hiring Focus on You Video was the BEST wedding investment I made. They were kind, professional, attentive, and responsive. For the amount of work they have to do to get the video to the amazing quality we received, they were also relatively quick getting the final product to us. And the final product exceeded my expectations!!! A wedding video is meant to capture all the memories of your big day - they certainly did that... they were on top of every special moment. But their artistry is what really makes them stand out. Our video was superbly edited and uniquely "us". I highly recommend them!

Krista & Bob are the nicest, most patient, creative, and accommodating people out there. They were wonderful to work with, always helped us feel at ease, and had this amazing ability to capture the little things in ways that are unexpected and wonderful. They are so talented. Our Love Story was amazing, and day-of video - we couldn't have asked for anything more. I watch it every month! haha! For a day that goes by in a flash, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else capturing those precious moments. We love you guys- thank you so much for all you do! You're the BEST! Steady Cam!!!

We were extremely pleased with Bob & Krista during our interactions while planning the wedding, and especially on the big day- they worked wonderfully with our photographers, and guests commented on how non-obtrusive they were. We were also VERY happy with the photo montage that they created and played during our reception, and with the quality of the wedding video we received afterwards. We would very much recommend Focus on You for anyone who wants a great experience and great video to cherish!!!

First and foremost I have to say that when we talked about hiring a videographer we had to convince the father of the bride that it was money well spent, as the mother of the bride I knew this would not be an easy task because he was not happy as his frame of mind was "haven't we spent enough?", well after meeting with Bob and Krista he was more on board, during the wedding itself he realized how wonderful this dynamic duo was and mentioned several times that he sure hopes the product is as good as the service. We received our DVD's packaged so beautifully on Sunday evening - my daughter and new son-in-law of course got to see it first....I picked up my copy Monday and though I should have waited I couldn't and watched it late into the night. I realized after about 30 minutes that I had gone through tears and laughter and that my face was in a constant grin....I can't wait for my husband to get home from a business trip so we can watch it again. THE BEST MONEY SPENT was spent with Bob and Krista - we love them and will shout their names from the roof tops.

My husband and I really enjoyed working with Focus on You Video. We almost did not have a videographer, however, decided close to the wedding it was important to us. Focus on You Video was very professional. Bob and Krista paid attention to our needs and were very personable. We felt like we were their only client based on the amount of personal attention they paid to us. We also felt like Bob and Krista were close friends, rather than videographers. After all was said and done with our wedding, every time I watch our wedding video, I remind my husband that it was the best money we spent on the wedding.

Control of Exchange Interaction in a Double Dot System
As Rolf Landauer observed in 1960, information is physical. As a consequence, the transport and processing of information must obey the laws of physics. It therefore makes sense to base the laws of information processing and computation on the laws of physics and in particular on quantum mechanics. This idea underlies the modern fields of Quantum Computation and Quantum Information Technology.Electron spin is a particularly well-studied two level physical system that, in semiconductors, has been...

It's because those taking
It's because those taking part in the Boston Tea Party knew the difference between monopolistic and privileged property ownership of big business and private property within a free market. The biotech industry(mainly Monsanto) is even worse in this case. Trying to blur the lines between property and real private property is a mistake.

Drunk, under the influence of alcohol. Usually to a large extent. Unable to think correctly, move correctly, or act normaly because of the influence of the alcohol.
Trashed after the party, she just barely made it up the stairs only to puke at the top.

Beyond exhausted, so much so that one appears to be drunk. Symptons include staring into space, taking hours to respond to simple questions, pausing randomly inbetween words, walking unsteadily, falling asleep standing up, and generally acting tired and spaced-out.
I pulled an all-nighter on that paper last night and boy am I trashed.

'Alī ibn Mūsā al-Riḍā (Arabic: علي بن موسى الرضا) (commonly known as Ali al-Ridha, Ali Rezā, or Ali Rizā) (c. 29 December 765 – 23 August 818)[2] was the seventh descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the eighth of the Twelve Imams, according to the Twelver Shia sect of Islam as well as an Imam of knowledge according to the Zaydi (Fiver) Shia school and Sufis. His given name was 'Alī ibn Mūsā ibn Ja'far.
Birth and family life[edit]
|The Fourteen Infallible
On the eleventh of Dhu al-Qi'dah, 148 AH (December 29, 765 CE), a son was born in the house of Imam Musa al-Kadhim (the seventh Imam of Twelver Shia Islam) in Medina, who took over the position of the Imamate, after his father. He was named Ali and titled al-Ridha. He was born one month after the death of his grandfather, Ja'far as-Sādiq.[4] Like his father and grandfather, his education came at the hands of his father. The mother of Ali al-Ridha was Najmah, who was considered to be the most notable and distinguished lady in the realm of wisdom and faith. Najmah was originally a Berber (from the Maghreb i.e. Northwest Africa).[5] She was purchased and freed by Bibi Hamidah Khatun, wife of Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq,[6] and like Bibi Hamidah was also a notable Islamic scholar.[7]
Designation as Imam[edit]
Right from his childhood, Ali al-Ridha accompanied his father, Imam Musa al-Kadhim, who repeatedly used to tell his friends, "Ali al-Ridha shall be the Imam after me."[8] As such, Makhzumi says one day Musa al-Kadhim summoned and gathered us and said, "I invited you to be witnesses that this child (Ali al-Ridha) is my executor and successor." [9]
Yazid ibn Salit says: "We were moving toward mecca to perform the umrah and we met Imam Musa al-Kadhim in the way. I asked him to inform us about his successor. Imam Musa al-Kadhim explained that the Imamah is a divine issue and the Imam is designated by Allah and his prophet, Muhammad. Then he said that my son, Ali, whose name is the same as the First and the forth Imam, is the Imam after me." Since an extreme choking atmosphere and pressure prevailed in the period of Musa al-Kazim, he added, "What I said must remain (restricted) up to you and do not reproduce it to anybody unless you know he is one of our friends and companions.[10][11]
According to Ali bin Yaqtin, Imam Musa al-Kazim said:
"Ali is the best of my children and I have conferred on him my epithet."[8]
Ali al-Ridha's father was martyred in 799, when Ali al-Ridha was 35, and he was given the responsibility of the Imamate. However, his Imamate was rejected by the Waqifite Shia.[4][12] Ali al-Ridha was not looked upon favorably by Hārūn Rashīd, and the people of Medina were disallowed from visiting Ali al-Ridha and learning from him.[13] Harun attempted to kill him but was unsuccessful.[citation needed]
Ali al-Ridha admonishes his brother[edit]
Once Ali al-Ridha was summoned to Khurasan and reluctantly accepted the role of successor to al-Ma'mun that was forced on him,[14][15] al-Ma'mun summoned his brother, Zayd, who had revolted and brought about a riot in Medina to his court in Khurasan. Al-Ma'mun kept him free as a regard and honor to Ali al-Ridha and overlooked his punishment.[16]
One day, when Ali al-Ridha was delivering a speech in a grand assembly, he heard Zayd praising himself before the people, saying I am so and so. Ali al-Ridha asked him saying:[17]
"O Zayd, have you trusted upon the words of the grocers of Kufa and are conveying them to the people? What kind of things are you talking about? The sons of Ali ibn Abi Talib and Fatimah Zahra are worthy and outstanding only when they obey the command of Allah, and keep themselves away from sin and blunder. You think you are like Musa al-Kadhim, Ali ibn Husayn, and other Imams? Whereas, they took pains and bore hardships on the way to Allah and prayed to Allah day and night. Do you think you will gain without pain? Be aware, that if a person out of us the Ahl al-Bayt performs a good deed, he gets twice the reward. Because not only he performed good deeds like others but also that he has maintained the honor of Muhammad. If he practices something bad and does a sin, he has performed two sins. One is that he performed a bad act like the rest of the people and the other one is that he has negated the honor of Muhammad. O brother! The one who obeys Allah is from us the Ahl al-Bayt and the one who is a sinner is not ours. Allah said about the son of Noah who cut the spiritual bondage with his father, "He is not out of your lineage; if he was out of your lineage, I would have (saved) and granted him salvation."[17]
Scientific character[edit]
Ali ibn Mousa al-Ridha was at the top of the scientists of his time in medical science. Religious scholars and jurists would ask him their questions about Islamic precepts.[18] His treatise in medicine is regarded as most precious Islamic literature in the science of medicine, hence it has been called the Golden Dissertation.[4][19] His treatise included scientific branches such as Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry and Pathology when medical science was still primitive.[20]
Connection to Sufism?[edit]
It has been commonly held that Maruf Karkhi who was converted to Islam through Ali al-Ridha is one of the foremost figures in the golden chain of most Sufi orders. He was a devoted student of Ali ar-Ridha and is an important figure for Sufism and Shi'ism. [21]
Political situation of his era[edit]
After the death of Harun al-Rashid in 809, Harun's two sons began fighting for control of the Abbasid Empire. One son, Al-Amin, had an Arab mother and thus had the support of Arabs, while his half-brother Al-Ma'mun had a Persian mother and the support of Persia.[22] After defeating his brother, al-Ma'mun summoned al-Ridha to khurasan.[12] Firstly, Ma'mun offered al-ridha the caliphate. Al-ridha who knew the real reason of this offer politely refused it [20] and said:
"If this caliphate belongs to you, then it is not permissible for you to take off the garment in which Allah has clothed you and to give it to other than you. If the caliphate does not belong to you, then it is not permissible for you to give me that which does not belong to you."[12]
Then al-Ma'mun offers the role successor to him. According to Tabatabaee in Shi'ite Islam, ma'mun summoned al-rida to khurasan and offered him the role of successor to prevent the descendants of the Prophet from rebelling against the government since they would be involved in the government themselves, and secondly, to cause the people to lose their spiritual belief and inner attachment to the Imams.[14]
Al-Ma'mun even changed the black Abbāsid flags to green,[23][24] the traditional color of shiites [24] Mohammad's flag and Ali's cloak.[25] Al-Ma'mun meant to appease the shiite factions by these decisions. Moreover, he gave his daughter, Umm Habib, to al-rida and married another daughter, Umm al-Fadhl to al-rida's son. Al-Ma'mun ordered to mint coins with names of both Al-Ma'mun and Ali al-Rida.[24]
Ali al-Ridha did not outlive Ma'mun, having been given poisoned grapes by him while accompanying him in Persia, and died at Tus on May 26, 818. Ali al-Ridha is buried within Imam Ridha Mosque, in Mashhad, Iran.[4][26] Al-Ma'mun had been very scared of the growing popularity of Imam al-Ridha. After giving the imam the role of successor to himself, he was hoping the popularity would decrease. In contrary, however, they were admiring the more than they used to.[27] after the declaration of succession, and when there was every opportunity for the Imam to live a splendid worldly royal life, people were seeing that he did not pay any heed to material comforts and devoted his time to praying to God and serving the people. The popularity, therefor, was growing day after day. Moreover abbasids were bearing a grudge against Ma'mun who had appointed the imam as his heir to the throne. Al-Ma'mun therefore became very disappointed. Imam advised him to dismiss him from his position but he had something else in mind. He decided once and for all to check his growing popularity and ensuring his own survival by acting according to the old traditions of killing Imams.[27]
"The night before his death", Harthama says, "Imam al Ridha called me so that I be present before him. He said to me, O Harthama! Listen carefully to what I tell you. Now it is time for me to return to God the Highest and join my grandfather and my forefathers. My life has come to an end. This rebel (al-Ma'mun) has decided to poison me with chafed grapes and pomegranates…The decree will come to happen and I will die. Once I die, Al-Maa'mun will say, 'I must perform the ceremonial burial ablutions of his body with my own hands.' Once Al-Ma'mun says that, you should privately tell him that I (Al-Reza) told you to tell him (Al-Ma'mun) not to perform the ceremonial burial ablutions for me, shroud me or bury me; else the Divine Punishment that is to brought upon him later will be brought upon him sooner. And that which he is trying to avoid will rush towards him...Then Al-Ma'mun will appoint you to perform the ceremonial burial ablutions for me. ..Do not do anything related to my ceremonial burial ablutions until you see a white tent set up next to the house. Once you see it set up, take me inside wearing the clothes which I had died. Stay outside and wait along with the others. ..Then Al-Ma'mun will come to you and ask, 'O Harthama! Don't you say that no one but a Divine Leader can wash a Divine Leader's body? Then who washed Abal Hassan Ali ibn Musa (s) while his son Muhammad (s) was in Medina that is one of the cities in Hijaz, and Al-Reza (s) is here in Toos?' this Once Al-Ma'mun says, you should answer him as follows, 'No one needs to perform the ceremonial burial ablutions for a Divine Leader, except for the Divine Leader after him. However, if someone violates this principle and performs the ceremonial burial ablutions for the Imam, this act will not void the Imam's Divine Leadership. It will neither void the Divine Leadership of the Imam succeeding him, even if someone forces him not to perform the ceremonial burial ablutions for his father's body. If Abul Hassan Ali ibn Musa Al-Reza (s) was in Medina when he passed away, it is apparent that his son Muhammad (s) would have performed the ceremonial ritual ablutions for him (s). However, this did not happen, but Muhammad (s) performed the ceremonial burial ablutions for his father (s) in secret.'Once the sides of the tent are lifted up you will see me in my shroud. Then lift up my body, place it in the coffin and carry me. Once he (al-Ma'mun) decides to have my grave dug, he will try to dig it in such a position that the grave of his father Harun Al-Rashid is located in the direction of the Qibla from my grave. This, however, will never happen. No matter how hard they hit the ground with a mattock… tell Al-Ma'mun that I have ordered you to use a mattock and hit the ground at the location in the direction of the Qibla from the grave of his father Harun Ar-Rashid just once. Then once you do this the ground will open up, a grave will be dug and a tomb shall be erected. Once Al-Ma'mun accepts this and you see the grave appear, do not place me in it immediately. Wait until some clear water comes up and reaches the level of the ground. Then a fish as large as the grave will appear swimming there. Do not put me in it as long as the fish is moving. Then the fish will disappear and the water will be drained. Then take me to the grave and place me in it. Do not let anyone throw any dirt over my body. The grave will get filled and covered up by itself.'"[27][28]
"The day after", Harthama added, "Al-Ma'mun told me : 'Go to Abil Hassan Al-Reza, express my greetings to him and tell him, 'Come to us if it is not difficult for you. Else I will come to see you.' If Al-Reza (s) accepts to come, insist that he (s) comes sooner.' When coming" He offered Al-Reza the bunch of grapes he was holding in his hands saying:
-'O son of God's Prophet! I have never seen a grape like th!is', he said.
Imam rejected it saying:
"there must be better ones in heaven"
"'You must eat. Why don't you eat? Perhaps you are suspicious of me." 'Shouted Al-Ma'mun. Then he picked up the bunch of grapes, had a few grapes and then offered the bunch to Al-Reza. Al-Reza ate three grapes, put down the bunch and stood up.
"Where!?" said Ma'mun.
"Where you sent me!"[a]he answered, looking at Al Ma'mun. Then he pulled his cloak over his head and left. He walked to his room and lay down on his bed. Ma'mun sent someone to him to ask whether he has a will or advice to give.
Imam said "tell him: don't ever give anything to a person when you regret afterwards!"[b] [27][29] Following the death of Ali al-Ridha a revolt took place in Khorasan. Al-Ma'mun wept and beat upon his head to show that he was a mourner. Despite this, A wave of despises and noise awn against al-Ma'mun. So that he did not allow the funeral to be carried out for a day and a night. Because, he was afraid that the disturbance may expand and the angry hostile and flared up masses may annihilate all the set ups and organizations.[30] while some others like Sibt ibn al-Jawzi thought that Abbasids had poisoned him as they did not want the Imam to be the Caliph after Al Ma'mun's death.[31] The thing however is that most historiaons agree that Al-Ma'nun has killed the Imam as he did the same about some other great mans who he was afraid of them.[32][c][citation needed]
Imam Ridha Mosque[edit]
Today the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad occupies a total area of 598,657 m2 (6,443,890 sq ft) – the shrine area occupies 267,079m2 while the seven courtyards surrounding it cover an area of 331,578 m2.[33] Thus making it the largest mosque in the world, having an area larger than Masjid al-Haram and Masjid al-Nabawi (which have areas of 356,800 m2[34] and 400,500 m2 respectively).
The courtyards also contain a total of 14 minarets,[35] and 3 fountains.[36] From the courtyards, external hallways named after scholars lead to the inner areas of the mosque. They are referred to as Bast (Sanctuary), since they were meant to be a safeguard for the shrine areas.[37]
The Bast hallways lead towards a total of 21 internal halls (Riwaq) surrounding the burial chamber of Ali al-Ridha. Adjacent to the burial chamber is also a mosque dating back to the 10th century known as, Bala-e-Sar mosque.[38]

The Jewish revolt against the Romans in 66 CE can be seen as the culmination of years of oppression at the hands of their Roman overlords. The first-century historian Josephus narrates the developments of the war and the events prior. A member of the priestly class and a general in the war, Josephus provides us a detailed account that has long troubled historians. This book was an attempt by Josephus to explain the nature of the war to his primary audience of predominantly angry and grieving Jews. The causes of the war are explained in different terms, ranging from Roman provincial administration, Jewish apocalypticism, and Jewish internal struggles. The Jews eventually reached a tipping point and engaged the Romans in open revolt. Josephus was adamant that the origin of the revolt remained with a few, youthful individuals who were able to persuade the country to rebel. This thesis emphasizes the causes of the war as Josephus saw them and how they are reflected both within The Jewish War and the later work Jewish Antiquities. By observing the Roman provincial administration spanning 6-66 CE, I argue that Judaea had low moments sprinkled throughout the time but in 66 there was something particularly different, according to Josephus. Josephus presents the governors and other important characters in the war in a very distinct way through rhetoric, narrative, and other methodology. The idea of a beginning to this revolt, no matter how obscure or hidden by Josephus, is the reason I want to examine the works of Josephus the historian.
Funds of Knowledge in a Hispanic Household: a Case Study of Family Experiences, Values, and Connections to Education2014-11-08T11:56:31-06:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc407772/

Traditionally, the field of education has often adopted a negative perspective in their views of minority families' contributions to the educational progress of their children. However, research embodying the theoretical framework of 'funds of knowledge' attempts to counter that model through its assertion that all families possess extensive bodies of knowledge that have developed through social, historical, and cultural contexts. Teachers carry out studies of familial funds of knowledge in order to understand how family experiences shape the knowledge that a child brings to the classroom. There is then, the potential to use that body of knowledge to create meaningful learning experiences that connect prior understanding and experiences to classroom practice. This research served as a case study of the funds of knowledge existing in the home of a Hispanic family and the connections that existed between that knowledge and literacy. The results indicated that the family possessed extensive funds of knowledge that developed through their historical, cultural, and social experiences. They often used family networks, as well as formal and informal literacy experiences to share this knowledge with their children. A key component of the literacy value system that they communicated resulted from a desire to maintain aspects of their culture and heritage through maintaining and improving their children's reading and linguistic abilities in Spanish. Furthermore, along with their emphasis on Spanish literacy, they held aspirations for their children related to familial and educational values that often stemmed from their expressed desire for their children to lead lives with greater opportunities and positive examples than they had experienced.
Effects of Airway Pressure, Hypercapnia, and Hypoxia on Pulmonary Vagal Afferents in the Alligator (Alligator Misssissippiensis)2014-11-08T11:56:31-06:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc407750/

The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) is an aquatic diving reptile with a periodic breathing pattern. Previous work has identified pulmonary stretch receptors (PSR), both rapidly- and slowly-adapting, and intrapulmonary chemoreceptors (IPCs) that modulate breathing patterns in alligators. The purpose of the present study was to identify the effects of prolonged lung inflation and deflation (simulated dives) on PSR and/or IPC firing characteristics in the alligator. The effects of airway pressure, hypercapnia, and hypoxia on dynamic and static responses of pulmonary stretch receptors (PSR) were studied in juvenile alligators (mean mass = 246 g) at 24°C. Receptor activity appeared to be a mixture of slowly-adapting PSRs (SARs) and rapidly-adapting PSRs (RARs) with varying thresholds and degrees of adaptation, but no CO2 sensitivity. Dives were simulated in order to character receptor activity before, during, and after prolonged periods of lung inflation and deflation. Some stretch receptors showed a change in dynamic response, exhibiting inhibition for several breaths after 1 min of lung inflation, but were unaffected by prolonged deflation. For SAR, the post-dive inhibition was inhibited by CO2 and hypoxia alone. These airway stretch receptors may be involved in recovery of breathing patterns and lung volume during pre- and post-diving behavior and apneic periods in diving reptiles. These results suggest that inhibition of PSR firing following prolonged inflation may promote post-dive ventilation in alligators.
Population Dynamics of Zebra Mussels (Dreissena Polymorpha) in a North Texas Reservoir: Implications for Invasions in the Southern United States2014-11-08T11:56:31-06:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc407755/

This dissertation has two main objectives: first, quantify the effects of environmental conditions on spatio-temporal spawning and larval dynamics of zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha [Pallas 1771]) in Lake Texoma, and second, quantify the effects of environmental conditions on survival, growth, and reproduction of young of the year (YOY) juvenile zebra mussels. These biological responses directly influence population establishment success and invasive spread dynamics. Reproductive output of the zebra mussel population in Lake Texoma was significantly related to water temperature and lake elevation. Annual maximum larval (veliger) density decreased significantly indicating a population crash, which was likely caused by thermal stress and variability of lake elevation. In 2011, temperatures peaked at 34.3°C and lake elevation decreased to the lowest level recorded during the previous 18 years, which desiccated a substantial number of settled mussels in littoral zones. Estimated mean date of first spawn in Lake Texoma was observed approximately 1.5 months earlier than in Lake Erie, and peak veliger densities were observed two months earlier. Veligers were observed in the deepest oxygenated water after lake stratification. During a 69-day in situ experiment during summer in Lake Texoma, age-specific mortality of zebra mussels was generally high until temperatures decreased to approximately 28°C, which was observed after lake turnover in late summer. No study organism died after temperatures decreased to less than 26°C, which indicates individuals that survive high summer temperatures are likely to persist into autumn/winter. Shell length growth and soft tissue growth rates were related to temperature and chlorophyll-a concentration, respectively. Growth rates of study organisms were among the highest ever reported for D. polymorpha. Water temperature and body size influenced reproduction of YOY zebra mussels in Lake Texoma. Fecundity of females were positively related to temperature; however, sperm production was negatively related to temperature, which indicates males could be more sensitive to physiologically-stressful conditions than females and could perform better in cooler waters. YOY mussels spawned up to approximately 40,000 eggs and 3.47E+08 sperm after a single-summer growing season. Reproductive effort and reproductive mass were independent of sex. YOY individuals from each study site (n = 5) were able to spawn viable gametes capable of sperm binding and egg cleavage, which provides the first evidence that YOY zebra mussels can successfully reproduce. Individual mortality of zebra mussels will likely be high in warm waters and intermittent, extreme droughts, which are observed more frequently at lower latitudes, can significantly reduce population sizes. However, rapid growth and single-season maturation can decrease generation times and could facilitate establishment and spread of zebra mussels in warm-water environments in the southern United States.

The various stages of infection rendered individuals with visible chancres or "pocky" marks throughout their body. The tertiary stage signaled the spreading of the disease from the infected parts into the brain and cardiovascular system, eventually leading to dementia and a painful death. Beginning with the initial medical responses to venereal disease in the sixteenth century and throughout the early modern period, medical practitioners attempted to identify the cause of syphilis. During the seventeenth century, English practitioners maintained that women were primarily responsible for both the creation and transmission of syphilis. In England, venereal disease became the physical manifestation of illicit sexual behavior and therefore women with syphilis demonstrated their sexual immorality. Contrastingly, French medical practitioners refrained from placing blame on women for venereal infection. The historiography of early modern discourse on venereal disease fails to account for this discrepancy between English and French perceptions of syphilis in the seventeenth century. This thesis seeks to fill the gap in this historiography and suggest why French practitioners abstained from singling out women as the primary source of venereal infection by suggesting the importance that cultural influences and religious practices had toward shaping medical perceptions. The cultural impact of the querelle des femmes and Catholic practices in France plausibly influenced the better portrayal of women within the medical treatises of seventeenth-century France when compared to Protestant England.
American Indian Worldviews, Risk Perceptions and Disaster Planning: an Exploratory Study2014-11-08T11:56:31-06:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc407742/

It is commonly assumed that when confronted with an imminent hazard that people will react rationally, and prepare for, or at least attempt to avoid, danger from pending disasters. However, this conventional wisdom is not as evident as it appears. People prepare for, react to, or take social action to avoid hazards when they perceive the risk of danger to be threatening enough to warrant action, providing one has the will, insight and resources to do so. However, not all people perceive risks similarly. Risk is perceived differently by different people which affects risk perception and responses to hazards. This dissertation explores the relationships between American Indian worldviews, risk perceptions and disaster planning. To carry out this research 28 American Indians were interviewed. The sample consists of 14 American Indians residing in a rural are on the northern plains and 14 urban American Indians. The results only partially support that worldview is linked to risk perception and subsequent disaster planning. Other factors found to relate to risk perception and disaster planning for this non-representative sample of American Indians include various forms of social vulnerability.

Analyzing Delinquency Among Kurdish Adolescents: a Test of Hirschi's Social Bonding Theory2014-11-08T11:56:31-06:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc407795/

This study examines the mediating effect of social bonding on delinquent behavior among Kurdish teens. Major influences to the study of self concept and delinquency based on Hirschi's social bonding theory are reviewed. The data was collected from a sample of 100 Kurdish teens attending a Gülen affiliated school (Private Çaglayan Murat Anatolian Science High School in Şanlıurfa, Turkey) and 100 Kurdish teens attending a public (non- Gülen) school (The Public High School in Diyarbakır, Turkey). There are two dependent variables for this research project: Involvement in major delinquency and involvement in minor delinquency. The components of social bonding attachment, involvement, commitment, and belief were used as independent variables. Participants' age ranged between 16 to 18 years. I hypothesize that the relation between the social bonding elements and delinquency should be stronger in the case of Kurdish adolescents who are more attached to conventional Turkish society. Results from binary logistic regression analyses indicate that in the absence of bonding, Kurdish teenagers tend to engage in major and minor delinquent activities. For further exploration and results, the Gülen Movement was examined as an independent variable. Findings suggest a strong relationship between the Gülen Movement and Kurdish adolescents' probability of involvement in either major or minor delinquent activities. Finally, several directions for future research on Hirschi's social bonding theory are recommended and some implications are drawn for deterring Kurdish adolescents from becoming involved in delinquent actions.
From Aspiration to Attainment: African American Community College Transfer Student Experiences Through Baccalaureate Degree Attainment2014-11-08T11:56:31-06:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc407745/

The purpose of this dissertation was to explore African American community college transfer student experiences through baccalaureate degree completion. The current study used qualitative methods to examine the experiences and perceptions of eighteen African American community college transfer students who recently graduated or were within 30 credit hours of graduating from a four-year university in Texas. Ten female and eight male students, ranging in age from 21 to 56 years old, with an average age of 28, composed the sample. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews which were transcribed and analyzed based on an integrated conceptual model of Padilla's (1999) Model of Minority Student Success and Yosso's (2005) Community Cultural Wealth Model. Findings suggest that African American community college transfer student experiences are very similar to transfer student experiences revealed in current literature. However, findings indicate students perceive their experiences differ from student of other races/ethnicities when dealing with negative stereotypes, lack of role models, and racial bias. Findings also suggest African American community college transfer student persist by employing transfer student capital, familial, aspirational, and resistant capital to learn how the traverse transfer, transition, and persistence through baccalaureate degree attainment.
Molecular and Functional Characterization of Medicago Truncatula Npf17 Gene2014-11-08T11:56:31-06:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc407747/

Legumes are unique among plants for their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen with the help of soil bacteria rhizobia. Medicago truncatula is used as a model legume to study different aspects of symbiotic nitrogen fixation. M. truncatula, in association with its symbiotic partner Sinorhizobium meliloti, fix atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, which the plant uses for amino acid biosynthesis and the bacteria get reduced photosynthate in return. M. truncatula NPF1.7 previously called MtNIP/LATD is required for symbiotic nitrogen fixing root nodule development and for normal root architecture. Mutations in MtNPF1.7 have defects in these processes. MtNPF1.7 encodes a member of the NPF family of transporters. Experimental results showing that MtNPF1.7 functioning as a high-affinity nitrate transporter are its expression restoring chlorate susceptibility to the Arabidopsis chl1-5 mutant and high nitrate transport in Xenopus laevis oocyte system. However, the weakest Mtnip-3 mutant allele also displays high-affinity nitrate transport in X. laevis oocytes and chlorate susceptibility to the Atchl1-5 mutant, suggesting that MtNPF1.7 might have another biochemical function. Experimental evidence shows that MtNPF1.7 also functions in hormone signaling. Constitutive expression of MtNPF1.7 in several species including M. truncatula results in plants with a robust growth phenotype. Using a synthetic auxin reporter, the presence of higher auxin in both the Mtnip-1 mutant and in M. truncatula plants constitutively expressing MtNPF1.7 was observed. Previous experiments showed MtNPF1.7 expression is hormone regulated and the MtNPF1.7 promoter is active in root and nodule meristems and in the vasculature. Two potential binding sites for an auxin response factors (ARFs) were found in the MtNPF1.7 promoter. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-qRT-PCR confirmed MtARF1 binding these sites. Mutating the MtARF1 binding sites increases MtNPF1.7 expression, suggesting a mechanism for auxin repression of MtNPF1.7. Consistent with these results, constitutive expression of an ARF in wild-type plants partially phenocopies Mtnip-1 mutants' phenotypes.

I attended Catholic school for one year as a child. My second-grade year in Philadelphia's St. Athanasius left me with a strong sense of the mystery of the church. The most mysterious space there was the confessional booth. I wasn't allowed to enter because I wasn't Catholic, so I just sat and watched others enter with pinched brows. Then they would exit with peace painted over their faces.
There is a scene in the book Blue Like Jazz where author Donald Miller sets up a confessional box in the center of the Reed College campus. But Miller's confessional worked in reverse. Students of Reed, which is known as the most liberal campus in the country, entered the confessional booth with curiosity, cynicism, skepticism, or worse—to disprove this thing called Christianity. But what they encountered upon entry was disarming—even healing. Rather than prompts to confess their sin, Miller sat on the other side of the veil and confessed of the sins of the church. This was a revolutionary act in the context where, according to Gabe Lyons and David Kinnaman's modern classic, UnChristian, the general consensus about Christians is decidedly negative.
The authors of Forgive Us: Confessions of a Compromised Faith (Zondervan, September 2014) took Miller's cue. We thought: What if the church at large began to own its sin and confessed it to the world? And what if we took those confessions and worked them out through active repentance? more >>
The Washington Post this week drew attention to a new Pew poll indicating that a majority of Americans believe it's time to move away from the policy of mandatory minimum sentencing in nonviolent criminal cases. Many people probably don't realize that in the American legal system, judges aren't actually permitted to do their jobs and judge. Their authority is curtailed by statutes that prescribe minimums for how much time a person must serve for certain crimes. This policy is particularly pernicious in situations where the crime is of a nonviolent nature, as are most minor drug offenses. The poll results represent a significant shift in public opinion since 2001, when the American public was about even split in their opinion of mandatory minimum sentencing. Like so much of our bloated federal apparatus, the prison system is flailing under the weight of an unfunded mandate. There are simply too many prisoners, and not enough resources to meet the demands of their incarceration.
When it comes to criminal sentencing, politicians and policymakers walk a tightrope. They don't want to appear to be soft on crime, but at the same time they want to demonstrate a pragmatic, effective use of public resources. One recalls how George H. W. Bush bludgeoned Michael Dukakis in the 1988 Presidential campaign with the Willie Horton case, a lamentable miscarriage of justice that garnered national attention. In 1974, Horton fatally stabbed a gas station attendant and dumped his body in a trashcan. Convicted of murder, Horton was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole and incarcerated in a Massachusetts prison. He was released in 1985 as part of a weekend furlough program but never returned, instead fleeing to Maryland where he raped a woman after brutally assaulting her boyfriend. He was later captured, tried, and sentenced in Maryland by a judge who refused to return him to Massachusetts stating, "I'm not prepared to take the chance that Mr. Horton might again be furloughed or otherwise released. This man should never draw a breath of free air again."
Politicians across the country didn't miss the lesson of that campaign, and ever since they have wanted to appear tough on crime. The reality, however, is that we simply can't afford to lock up every criminal who runs afoul of the criminal justice system. In 2011 the Atlantic ran a piece on the skyrocket cost of incarceration in America. At that time, one year at Princeton cost $37,000, while a year at a New Jersey state prison cost $44,000. Clearly, this is an untenable situation. So, in an era of tight budgets, how should our government mete out justice effectively and efficiently? I offer four very simple, common sense solutions: Lock them up, Tie them down, Dry them out, and Make them pay. more >>

In an unusual case of forgiveness Thursday, the parents of a New Hampshire man who was shot dead in December 2011 lobbied to help free their son's killer from prison and offered to give him a home and a job on his release.

His killer, Christopher Bazar, 29, was his best friend right up to the point when he took his last breath. And the St. Laurent family had lobbied for leniency when he was sentenced to four to 10 years in prison for manslaughter in 2012.

During the film, Franzese tells his life story growing up in the mob which eventually lead to a top position in the organization's Colombo family. It also discusses the turning point in his life when he accepted Jesus Christ and turned away from his old ways.

Josh Kimbrell, 29, a Christian talk radio host and chairman of the Palmetto Conservative Alliance Foundation in South Carolina, was arrested and charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a 3-year-old boy.

Arrest warrants from Greenville Police accuse Kimbrell, who hosts Common Cents radio show weekdays on 92.9FM/660AM, of playing a game with the minor that involved inappropriate touching and fondling, according to FOX Carolina.
A statement issued by the board of directors of Palmetto Conservative Alliance challenged the accusations as a character assassination by Kimbrell's ex-wife, who is currently locked in a custody battle with him over their 3-year-old son. more >>
