General Principles of Child Evangelism with Special Reference to the Age Group Six to Twelve

Facts generally accepted in the field of Christian Education show that the boy and girl in the age group of six to twelve is stepping over into another world. Life is becoming very real to them and they require the real, the true, and the genuine to satisfy their longings. They are discriminators between fact and fiction and very frequently note things long before they attract the attention of an adult. Their conscience is yet tender, the impulse to obey is strong, and the implicit faith of the earlier years still lingers with them. It is a time in their lives when the conduct is shaped not so much by what they are taught as by what they have observed. Considering these facts in relation to the increased rate of juvenile delinquency and the great loss in numbers that the Sunday School experiences in the intermediate are group the question was raised in the writer\u27s mind regarding the evangelization of children in the age group six to twelve. The problem, therefore presented in the study was: what are the general principles of evangelism which can be applied to the age froup six to twelve through the home and the Sunday School? It was the assumption of the author that this problem can be solved to a great extent through the evangelization of the children in the age group of six to twelve. The primary purposes of this study were to determine a philosophy of evangelism and to ascertain the general principles of child evangelism as applied to the age group of six to twelve. The objectives which guided this study were: 1. to discover the relation of the home to child evangelism, 2. to ascertain the relation of the Sunday School to child evangelism, 3. to reveal the principles of lesson preparation and presentation and their relation to Sunday School evangelism, and 4. to point out certain administrative techniques to be employed in child evangelism

Federal Emergency Management Information System (FEMIS), Installation Guide for FEMIS 1.4.6

The Federal Emergency Management Information System (FEMIS) is an emergency management planning and response tool that was developed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) under the direction of the U.S. Army Chemical Biological Defense Command. The FEMIS System Administration Guide provides information necessary for the system administrator to maintain the FEMIS system. The FEMIS system is designed for a single Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) site that has multiple Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs). Each EOC has personal computers (PCs) that emergency planners and operations personnel use to do their jobs. These PCs are corrected via a local area network (LAN) to servers that provide EOC-wide services. Each EOC is interconnected to other EOCs via a Wide Area Network (WAN). Thus, FEMIS is an integrated software product that resides on client/server computer architecture. The main body of FEMIS software, referred to as the FEMIS Application Software, resides on the PC client(s) and is directly accessible to emergency management personnel. The remainder of the FEMIS software, referred to as the FEMIS Support Software, resides on the UNIX server. The Support Software provides the communication data distribution and notification functionality necessary to operate FEMIS in a networked, client/server environment

High-throughput gene discovery in the rat

The rat is an important animal model for human diseases and is widely used in physiology. In this article we present a new strategy for gene discovery based on the production of ESTs from serially subtracted and normalized cDNA libraries, and we describe its application for the development of a comprehensive nonredundant collection of rat ESTs. Our new strategy appears to yield substantially more EST clusters per ESTs sequenced than do previous approaches that did not use serial subtraction. However, multiple rounds of library subtraction resulted in high frequencies of otherwise rare internally primed cDNAs, defining the limits of this powerful approach. To date, we have generated >200,000 3′ ESTs from >100 cDNA libraries representing a wide range of tissues and developmental stages of the laboratory rat. Most importantly, we have contributed to ∼50,000 rat UniGene clusters. We have identified, arrayed, and derived 5′ ESTs from >30,000 unique rat cDNA clones. Complete information, including radiation hybrid mapping data, is also maintained locally at http://genome.uiowa.edu/clcg.html. All of the sequences described in this article have been submitted to the dbEST division of the NCBI

The Developing Female Chorister Voice:Case-Study Evidence of Musical Development

The human singing voice changes throughout the lifespan and there are gender-specific variations that need to be taken into account. Life changes in terms of voice are different for females and males and this paper concentrates on the female singing voice in the context of choral singing. Case-study data from three choristers are presented relating to the changing female voice during puberty as part of a longitudinal study of female choristers in a major English Cathedral Choir School. In addition, discussion is presented on important considerations with respect to the female choral singing voice with a particular focus on specific choral aspects during rehearsals and performance

At the Chariot House: a screenplay associated with Afraid of AIDS: AIDS Panic and Gay Discrimination through State of Indiana v. Herb Robbins

A screenplay centered around the State of Indiana v. Herb Robbins court case. The story includes representations of the murder of lawyer Donald Jackson by underaged sex worker Herb Robbins, the evidence collection by the police and journalists, and the trial

Letter from Donald C. Gackle to Representative Burdick Regarding Reservoir Name, April 4, 1958

This letter dated April 4, 1958, from Greater North Dakota Association Publicity Director Donald C. Gackle to United States House Representative Usher Burdick, expresses support for naming the Garrison Dam reservoir Lake Sakakawea. The letter opens with a statement that Homer Ludwick has already written Burdick to thank him for supporting the name Lake Sakakawea. Gackle acknowledges some of the general public object to this proposal, but Gackle reaffirms the support of the Greater North Dakota Association. Gackle closes by complimenting Burdick\u27s knowledge and appreciation of North Dakota history.https://commons.und.edu/burdick-papers/1244/thumbnail.jp

Afraid of AIDS: AIDS Panic and Gay Discrimination through State of Indiana v. Herb Robbins

IUIIn 1988 Herb J. Robbins, a 17-year-old male prostitute, murdered prominent Indianapolis attorney Donald L. Jackson. Robbins then used a “fear of AIDS” defense in court to escape murder charges. This defense highlighted the discrimination faced by gay men and the heightened fear of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) then a little-understood disease. This story fits into larger discussions about AIDS and our cultural and governmental response to it. For Indiana’s population in the 1980s, a fear of AIDS meant a fear of gay men, as gay men were the first people identified with AIDS – in 1981 and 1982 AIDS was known as GRID: gay-related immunodeficiency disease. This opened the door for discrimination in all facets of society – including in the courts – leading to the successful ‘fear of AIDS’ defense in 1988. That ingrained discrimination has had lasting effects on Indiana’s residents and especially on its gay communities including, but not limited to, the criminalization of persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In 1985, many states, including Indiana responded to HIV in the blood supply by closing blood banks and passing laws making it illegal for people with HIV/AIDS to donate. The Food and Drug Administration, as well, banned gay or bisexual men from donating blood for fear they might have HIV/AIDS. Indiana also passed a law requiring people with HIV to notify any potential sexual partner about their HIV positive status. The laws criminalizing people living with HIV were created in direct response to a fear of AIDS in the blood supply, which was only amplified by Ryan White’s infamous story. Connecting gay and bisexual men in Indiana’s HIV laws and the FDA’s policy on HIV/AIDS only further stigmatized gay men and people living with HIV by associating them with criminal activity, including the criminalization of Donald Jackson when Herb Robbins testified that he killed Jackson for fear he could have gotten AIDS from him. This paper seeks to understand 1) Why was Indianapolis a place where this “fear of AIDS” defense could succeed? and 2) How does this defense reflect broader discrimination and stigmatization directed toward the gay community
