The effects of the go for the green challenge on electricity use, behaviors, and attitudes of Western Washington University residents.

This thesis investigates the effect of the Go for the Green Challenge (GGC), a multi-faceted, educational awareness and behavior change campaign originating in the Office of Sustainability, on residents of Western Washington University. Per capita residence hall electricity use figures in participating and control halls were evaluated. Surveys of residents gauged energy use behaviors, and a questionnaire assessed how hall leaders implemented GGC. Participating halls had significantly less electricity use than control halls. Correlation was significant between electricity reductions and certain components of GGC. The halls most affected by GGC had designs conducive to social diffusion and leaders that mobilized efforts to reduce electricity use and increase resident participation and awareness

Second Stage of Reconnaissances in California (1580-1636)

This paper deals with the second stage of Spanish explorations in the Californian area and the Northern Pacific coast focusing on their cartographical results The stategic attention to protect the way to the Philippines and the Spice Islands caused new reconnaissances North of California which triggered several fantasies about the alleged Anian Strait which supposedly connected both sides of the ocean in the polar latitudes After illusion of the supposed voyages led by Fuca and Ferrer was over interest focused on the exploration along the outer coast of the California peninsula in order to discover some bases for the Manila gelleon s return Interest in that area was proven by Vizcaino s expeditions but the search for pearls carried out by Cardona and others was a failur

The Decrease in the Number of Female Coaches For Girls and Women\u27s Athletic Teams At The High School and Collegiate Level

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the decreased numbers of female coaches at the high school and collegiate levels on females participating in athletics. To research this subject matter, a survey was conducted. This survey was administered to 40 female athletes at the high school level that were attending a summer girl\u27s basketball camp in the state of North Carolina. With the range of age between 13 and 17, it was felt that the best possible overall spectrum of information for school-age female athletes would be discovered. While researching past studies, reading past and recent literature, viewing various documentaries, and by calculating the answers given in the survey that was administered, it was found by this study that high school age girls do not seemingly have any negative feelings or changes from the declining number of female coaches in athletics

From the Three Natures to the Two Natures: On a Fluid Approach to the Two Versions of Other-Emptiness from 15th Century Tibet

In recent years there has been a surge of scholarly interest in diverse systems of Buddhist thought and practice that Tibetan thinkers characterize as “other-emptiness” (gzhan stong), contrasting them with systems of “self-emptiness” (rang stong). While the theories of such exponents of other emptiness as Dölpopa Sherap Gyeltsen (dol po pa shes rab rgyal mtshan, 1292–1361)1 are relatively well known, those of other Tibetan thinkers are only beginning to receive scholarly attention. This paper addresses one such lesser-known other-emptiness theory that was developed by the seminal Tibetan thinker Serdok Penchen Shakya Chokden (gser mdog paṇ chen shākya mchog ldan, 1428–1507). Shakya Chokden articulated his position on other-emptiness in works written during the last thirty years of his life. In those works he advocated both Alīkākāravāda Yogācāra and Niḥsvabhāvavāda Madhyamaka systems as equally valid forms of Madhyamaka, regarding the former as a system of other-emptiness and the latter as a system of self-emptiness. Instead of approaching the two systems as irreconcilable, he presented them as equally valid and effective, emphasized their respective strengths, and promoted one or the other depending on context and audience. Partly for these reasons, his own philosophical outlook does not neatly fall into the categories of other-emptiness or self-emptiness, and placing him squarely into the camp of “followers of other-emptiness” (gzhan stong pa)—as some advocates of later sectarian traditions did—does not do justice to him as a thinker

An asymmetry matrix in global current accounts

The paper discusses global imbalances under the aspect of an asymmetric world monetary system. It identifies the US and euro area (Germany) as center countries with rising current account deficits (US) and surpluses (Germany) which are matched by respective current account surpluses of coun-tries stabilizing their exchange rates against the dollar (dollar periphery) and rising current account deficits of the countries stabilizing their exchange rate against the euro (euro periphery). The paper finds that the changes of the world current account positions are driven by the macroeconomic pol-icy decisions in the centers. In particular, expansionary monetary and fiscal policies in the US are argued to have triggered rising current account surpluses of the dollar periphery countries, as mone-tary and fiscal sterilization policies in the periphery contribute to rising saving surpluses. --Global Imbalances,Asymmetric World Monetary System,Twin Deficit,Twin Surplus,International Currency
