The divorce process: a view from the other side of the desk
Drawing on a research project in which forty clients were followed throughout the divorce process, this paper attempts to provide some insights into the perspective of the client. The analysis is focused on two specific issues, firstly the need of clients to receive understandable information and secondly, the overall aims of clients embarking on the divorce process.</p
For Colored Girls and Boys Who Have Considered Suicide/ When Prayer and GOOD Music Werenât Enough
Lauren Chanel Allen, a 22-year-old Christian graduate student at Howard University, struggled with mental illness for years. Like so many blacks, Lauren expected her faith to serve an elixir for her problems, including depression. However, her prayers were not sufficient. When she was unable to find solace in the church, she sought out an alternative source: the music of Kanye West. She shared her story in a 2016 article, âHow An Ultralight Beam Helped My Dark Depression,â which she published in Abernathy magazine. Laurenâs story speaks to the disconnect that many millennials have with the church. Nowhere in her article did she use the word â therapy â or mention seeking professional help for her condition. Laurenâs avoidance of medical specialists speaks to broader issues in the African American community related to mental illness. This article addresses the following questions: Why do some blacks place more faith in their churches than professional therapy to address their mental health concerns? How does the churchâs inability to properly address mental illness contribute to the fact that some black millennials find more solace in Hip Hop than in the church when they experience suffering? What do black pastors think about millennials turning to Hip Hop and rappers like Kanye West for comfort instead of the church? How much reliance should black millennials who are struggling with their mental health place in their faith in Hip Hop musicians such as Kanye West that uplift their spirits
The role of solicitors in divorce: a note of caution
Drawing on a research project in which 40 clients and their solicitors were followed throughout the divorce process, this article examines certain aspects of the role that is now performed by solicitors. Noting that solicitors appear to have modified and developed their practice, possibly as a result of the emergence and promotion of mediation, this article raises questions about how the most recent developments will meet the needs of the divorcing public.</p
Computer simulations of iron in magnesium silicate perovskite
We use atomistic computer simulation techniques to investigate the site partitioning of iron in (Mg,Fe)SiO_{3} perovskites. Our calculations predict that the most energetically favourable reaction for iron substitution will be a direct exchange of Fe^{2+} for Mg^{2+}. Substitution of Fe into the octahedral site and Si into the 8â12 fold coordinated site, as proposed by Jackson et al. [1987], is predicted to be extremely unlikely
Approximate Coulomb distortion effects in (e,e'p) reactions
In this paper we apply a well-tested approximation of electron Coulomb
distortion effects to the exclusive reaction (e,e'p) in the quasielastic
region. We compare the approximate treatment of Coulomb distortion effects to
the exact distorted wave Born approximation evaluated by means of partial wave
analysis to gauge the quality of our approximate treatment. We show that the
approximate M\"oller potential has a plane-wave-like structure and hence
permits the separation of the cross section into five terms which depend on
bilinear products of transforms of the transition four current elements. These
transforms reduce to Fourier transforms when Coulomb distortion is not present,
but become modified with the inclusion of Coulomb distortion. We investigate
the application of the approximate formalism to a model of 208Pb(e,e'p) using
Dirac-Hartree single particle wave functions for the ground state and
relativistic optical model wave functions for the continuum proton. We show
that it is still possible to extract, albeit with some approximation, the
various structure functions from the experimentally measured data even for
heavy nuclei.Comment: 32 pages, 11 figures, 19 reference

Doing Good and Looking Good in Global Humanitarian Reporting: Is Philanthrojournalism good news?
This chapter investigates if and how a private donorâs apparent motivation to âlook goodâ â or to generate symbolic capital â interacts with a news organizationâs ability to âdo goodâ by producing public service content. We address this issue by reporting on the findings of a year-long study of the online humanitarian news organisation â IRIN â as it became primarily funded by a new donor. We argue that whilst it is possible that the Foundationâs pursuit of symbolic capital may have had some effect on how IRIN sought to âdo goodâ, it did not appear to affect the extent to which IRIN was either willing or able to âdo goodâ. Indeed, our analysis makes clear that the influence of the Foundation only had an effect on IRIN when it combined with other factors, especially journalistsâ own values and organizational strategies. Ultimately, this case highlights the limits of generalized claims about the likely influence of a donorâs desire to âlook goodâ on a news organization
