Sailing to Nuceria: Evidence for the Date of Xenophon of Ephesus

On the basis of the episode in which Habrocomes puts in to Italy at Nuceria (καταίρει ... εϊς Νονκέριον τής 'Ιταλίας, Xen. Eph. 5.8.1), this article argues that Xenophon of Ephesus was writing between the late Flavian and early Antonine age, after it became known that the harbours at Pompeii and Stabiae had been destroyed in the eruption of AD 79 and before the rehabilitation of Stabiae became common knowledge.The Classic

Exchanging Gladiators for an Aqueduct at Aphrodisias (SEG 50.1096)

A letter of Hadrian to the magistrates, council, and people of Aphrodisias (SEG 50.1096) has been interpreted as evidence that nominees for the high priesthood became reluctant to assume the office, when the traditional liturgy of sponsoring gladiatorial shows was replaced by a financial contribution towards the building of an aqueduct. This article proposes that, instead, the nominees’ reluctance was caused by the burden of providing gladiators, and that the alternative of contributing to the aqueduct was intended as a more attractive option to boost the pool of available candidates.The Classic

Benefits of a Nutrition Education Program on a Community of Developmentally Disabled Adults

The number of adults diagnosed with developmental disabilities in the United States is increasing; this population is underserved and underfunded, especially in the area of nutrition education. Health concerns for adults with developmental disabilities include obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and disordered eating, all of which could be alleviated or prevented with proper nutritional care and education. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a nutrition education program in a community of developmentally disabled adults. The intervention took place in an adult day center in Bergen County, New Jersey, where a group of adults with developmental disabilities (n=16, ages 21-29 years) participated in an 8-week, tailored nutrition education program based on the social cognitive theory. The comparison group (n=6, ages 21-31years) received instruction unrelated to nutrition education for the same time period. Both groups had a mixture of diagnoses and abilities. This study utilized a mixed-methods approach; primary outcome measures included changes in observed behavior, skills, and survey-reported cognitive knowledge. Results showed a 44% increase in nutrition cognitive knowledge following intervention compared to baseline, whereas there was no observed change in the comparison group. Nutritional intervention also resulted in changes in lunch choices compared to baseline. A majority of center adults receiving nutritional intervention influenced the overall lunch choice environment. Three specific areas of importance to the basis of nutrition education in adults with developmental disability were identified: program knowledge, individual control of behavior, and staff and caregiver-based support. This study demonstrated that adults with developmental disabilities have the ability to retain and understand nutritional knowledge, and make healthful choices about foods based on this knowledge. Furthermore, these behavior changes regarding food choices following intervention may encourage other individuals within the community to modify food choices, suggesting a broader impact of this program beyond the active participants. Overall, these results provide a valuable framework for designing and implementing community based nutrition education programs for adults with developmental disabilities

Organizational Health at the Managerial and Institutional Levels of Leadership: Links to Student Achievement in Middle Grades

In this paper we look at the relationship between the middle school’s organizational health and student achievement as measured by math scores over a two-year period. Our research hypothesis anticipated that increases in organizational health would be related to increases in student scores on standardized tests

Time-Efficient Creation of an Accurate Sentence Fusion Corpus

Sentence fusion enables summarization and question-answering systems to produce output by combining fully formed phrases from different sentences. Yet there is little data that can be used to develop and evaluate fusion techniques. In this paper, we present a methodology for collecting fusions of similar sentence pairs using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, selecting the input pairs in a semiautomated fashion. We evaluate the results using a novel technique for automatically selecting a representative sentence from multiple responses. Our approach allows for rapid construction of a high accuracy fusion corpus

A Safe, Stable Place to Call Home Supports Young Children's Health in Arkansas

Families should be able to afford a roof over their heads and still have enough money to pay for food, utilities, and healthcare. Unfortunately, for many Arkansans, wages are not keeping up with housing costs. Presently, fair market rent for a two-bedroom apartment is $216 more a month than a full-time minimum wage employee earning$7.25/hour can afford. Children's HealthWatch research shows families are forced to sacrifice basic necessities when they confront the gap between the cost of housing and their ability to pay for it
