History of the Oregon Conference of the Free Methodist Church

The religious history of the Pacific Northwest is important to the development and growth of this part of the United States. The first church men came with the purpose of evangelizing the Indians who lived in the region. These men, such as Jason Lee, Father Blanchet, Father Desmet, Marcus Whitman, and Dr. Elijah White, were the first to migrate to this country with the exception of a small handful who were fur traders or employees of the Hudson Bay Company. Although the primary purpose of these missionaries failed, they did pioneer the way for others to come. With each new group of immigrants came a representative of a different religious body that had come to America years before or had evolved out of the religious turmoil of the century. One such group which is represented by the latter classification was the Free Methodist Church. Sixteen years after its founding the first missionary was sent to the Oregon Country to organize the church. Since that time, 88 years ago, Free Methodism in the Northwest has grown to include three conferences, 100 churches with a membership of 7,650. It was the purpose of this investigation to make an intensive study of the historical development of the Oregon Conference of the Free Methodist Church from the time that the first members of the church moved into the Northwest and established the church until the present time

Quantum states prepared by realistic entanglement swapping

Entanglement swapping between photon pairs is a fundamental building block in schemes using quantum relays or quantum repeaters to overcome the range limits of long-distance quantum key distribution. We develop a closed-form solution for the actual quantum states prepared by realistic entanglement swapping, which takes into account experimental deficiencies due to inefficient detectors, detector dark counts, and multiphoton-pair contributions of parametric down-conversion sources. We investigate how the entanglement present in the final state of the remaining modes is affected by the real-world imperfections. To test the predictions of our theory, comparison with previously published experimental entanglement swapping is provided.Comment: 44 pages, 7 figures, Published with minor changes in Phys. Rev.

Bean production and pest constraints in Latin America

Beans are attacked by a large no. of plant pathogens and insect pests, many of which can reduce yields drastically. Farmers with small land holdings usually have limited resources but produce most of the beans in L.A. Control strategies feasible for these growers may be restricted to those strategies that do not require large cash inputs; hence breeding for resistance may be the most desirable alternative available. National and international bean production programs, must accurately identify yield constraints prevalent in specific producton regions to provide more efficient use of the large amount of manpower, research expenditure and time required to implement resistance breeding. Stability of resistant materials can be improved with an integrated control strategy consisting of resistance, cultural practices, chemicals and clean seed production for those diseases in which resistance does not confer immunity to infection. This Integrated control strategy must be adapted to specific regional problems. A more systematic collection of information is necessary to evaluate the costs and probability of success for control strategies so that the pathology, entomology and breeding reseach at the expt station is more applicable and quickly available to farmers. (AS)El frijol es atacado por un gran no. de organismos fitopatogenos y plagas, muchas de las cuales disminuyen los rendimientos significativamente. Los agricultores que poseen pequenas parcelas tienen generalmente ingresos muy limitados pero producen casi todo el frijol en America Latina. Las estrategias de control factibles para estos agricultores estan restringidas a aquellas medidas que no requieren grandes inversiones; de ahi que el mejoramiento por resistencia sea una de las alternativas disponibles mas deseables. Los programas nacionales e internacionales de produccion de frijol deben identificar en forma precisa los limitantes del rendimiento prevalentes en regiones productoras especificas, a fin de utilizar eficientemente el potencial humano, las inversiones en investigacion y el tiempo requerido para implantar el mejoramiento por resistencia. La estabilidad de los materiales resistentes se puede mejorar mediante una estrategia de control integrado que consiste en resistencia, practicas culturales, productos quimicos y produccion de semilla limpia para aquellas enfermedades para las cuales la resistencia no confiere inmunidad a la infeccion. Este sistema de control integrado debera adaptarse a los diferentes problemas especificos regionales. Se requiere una recoleccion mas sistematica de informacion para evaluar los costos y posibilidades de exito de los sistemas de control, con el objetivo de que la investigacion en patologia, entomologia y mejoramiento genetico en la estacion experimental sea mas util y rapidamente apicable por los agricultores.

Osteoporosis Prevention—A Worthy and Achievable Strategy

This special issue of Nutrients records seven of the presentations made to the very successful meeting titled “Osteoporosis Prevention: A Workshop on Calcium, Vitamin D and other Nutritional Aspects” held in Adelaide, Australia on 5 and 6 March 2010 [1-7]. Seventy six delegates attended from across Australia and New Zealand to review the current evidence that dietary calcium intake, vitamin D status, other nutrients and exercise play a significant role in bone mineral homeostasis and act to prevent the development of osteoporosis. The Workshop promoted the concept that osteoporosis is a predictable and preventable disease and that significant benefit would be achieved to reduce the incidence of osteoporosis and the risk of fractures from nutrition and life style activities. Such an achievement will not only save considerable pain, suffering and morbidity but will also have a major financial benefit for the healthcare system for which the cost of treatment for osteoporotic fractures already amounts to billions of dollars
