Friedman, E. H. (1985). Generation to Generation: Family Process in Church and Synagogue. New York: Guilford Press. ISBN: 0-87630-881-7 This is the foundation text for this course. You may find this challenging reading if family systems terms are new to you. Friedman\u27s insights into the processes of family and church are worth the price of the book - especially chapters 8 & 9. Guerin, P.J., Jr., Forgarty, T. F., Fay, L.F., Kautto, J. G. (1996). Working with Relationship Triangles. New York: Guilford Press. Guerin, et al. adds some meat and bones to many of Friedman\u27s principles. I found this book very engaging, and very practical!

Constraining The Hubble Parameter Using Distance Modulus - Redshift Relation

Using the relation between distance modulus (m−M) and redshift z, deduced from Friedman- Robertson-Walker (FRW) metric and assuming different values of deceleration parameter q0. We constrained the Hubble parameter h. The estimates of the Hubble parameters we obtained using the median values of the data obtained from NASA Extragalactic Database (NED), are: h=0.7±0.3, for q0=0, h=0.6±0.3, for q0=1 and h=0.8±0.3 , for q0=−1. The corresponding age τ and size R of the observable universe were also estimated as: τ=15±1 Gyr, R=(5±2)×103 Mpc, τ=18±1 Gyr, R=(6±2)×103 Mpc and τ=13±1 Gyr, R=(4±2)×103 Mpc for q0=0, q0=1 and q0=−1 respectively

The Day the Universes Interacted: Quantum Cosmology without a Wave function

In this article we present a new outlook on the cosmology, based on the quantum model proposed by M. Hall, D.-A. Deckert and H. Wiseman (HDW). In continuation of the idea of that model we consider finitely many classical homogeneous and isotropic universes whose evolutions are determined by the standard Einstein-Friedman equations but that also interact with each other quantum-mechanically via the mechanism proposed by HDW. The crux of the idea lies in the fact that unlike every other interpretation of the quantum mechanics, the HDW model requires no decoherence mechanism and thus allows the quantum mechanical effects to manifest themselves not just on micro-scale, but on a cosmological scale as well. We further demonstrate that the addition of this new quantum-mechanical interaction lead to a number of interesting cosmological predictions, and might even provide natural physical explanations for the phenomena of ``dark matter'' and ``phantom fields''.Comment: 15 pages, RevTeX, 3 figure

Eastonʼs theorem and large cardinals from the optimal hypothesis

AbstractThe equiconsistency of a measurable cardinal with Mitchell order o(κ)=κ++ with a measurable cardinal such that 2κ=κ++ follows from the results by W. Mitchell (1984) [13] and M. Gitik (1989) [7]. These results were later generalized to measurable cardinals with 2κ larger than κ++ (see Gitik, 1993 [8]).In Friedman and Honzik (2008) [5], we formulated and proved Eastonʼs (1970) theorem [4] in a large cardinal setting, using slightly stronger hypotheses than the lower bounds identified by Mitchell and Gitik (we used the assumption that the relevant target model contains H(μ), for a suitable μ, instead of the cardinals with the appropriate Mitchell order).In this paper, we use a new idea which allows us to carry out the constructions in Friedman and Honzik (2008) [5] from the optimal hypotheses. It follows that the lower bounds identified by Mitchell and Gitik are optimal also with regard to the general behavior of the continuum function on regulars in the context of measurable cardinals
