SOCCER THROW-IN KINEMATICS
Soccer is played extensively throughout the world. As the
popularity of soccer increases in America, a development of the
teaching and coaching techniques is needed. Despite the
increasing amount of soccer literature, the soccer throw-in skill
has been understated. Up to date, only a few studies have
assessed the throw-in biomechanically (Lueft, 1965; Kline, 1980;
Levendusky, 1982) and have provided some descriptive data
concerning kinematics and kinetics. The throw-in is a unique
throwing motion in that both hands must be used, the ball must
come from behind the head forward, and both feet must maintain
contact with the ground until release as stipulated by the laws of
the game (FIFA, 1977). As a result, the coordination of the upper
body movements and the supporting lower body enable a player to
throw for longer distances
First-Class Nonstandard Interpretations by Opening Closures
We motivate and discuss a novel functional programming construct
that allows convenient modular run-time nonstandard interpretation
via reflection on closure environments. This map-closure construct
encompasses both the ability to examine the contents of a
closure environment and to construct a new closure with a modified
environment. From the userâs perspective, map-closure is a
powerful and useful construct that supports such tasks as tracing,
security logging, sandboxing, error checking, profiling, code instrumentation
and metering, run-time code patching, and resource
monitoring. From the implementorâs perspective, map-closure
is analogous to call/cc. Just as call/cc is a non-referentiallytransparent
mechanism that reifies the continuations that are only
implicit in programs written in direct style, map-closure is a nonreferentially-
transparent mechanism that reifies the closure environments
that are only implicit in higher-order programs. Just as
CPS conversion is a non-local but purely syntactic transformation
that can eliminate references to call/cc, closure conversion
is a non-local but purely syntactic transformation that can eliminate
references to map-closure. We show how the combination
of map-closure and call/cc can be used to implement set! as
a procedure definition and a local macro transformation
Existential witness extraction in classical realizability and via a negative translation
We show how to extract existential witnesses from classical proofs using
Krivine's classical realizability---where classical proofs are interpreted as
lambda-terms with the call/cc control operator. We first recall the basic
framework of classical realizability (in classical second-order arithmetic) and
show how to extend it with primitive numerals for faster computations. Then we
show how to perform witness extraction in this framework, by discussing several
techniques depending on the shape of the existential formula. In particular, we
show that in the Sigma01-case, Krivine's witness extraction method reduces to
Friedman's through a well-suited negative translation to intuitionistic
second-order arithmetic. Finally we discuss the advantages of using call/cc
rather than a negative translation, especially from the point of view of an
implementation.Comment: 52 pages. Accepted in Logical Methods for Computer Science (LMCS),

Official FCIC Hearing Transcript on The Impact of the Financial Crisis at the Ground Level - State of Nevada
International Consensus Statement on Rhinology and Allergy: Rhinosinusitis
Background: The 5 years since the publication of the first International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Rhinosinusitis (ICARâRS) has witnessed foundational progress in our understanding and treatment of rhinologic disease. These advances are reflected within the more than 40 new topics covered within the ICARâRSâ2021 as well as updates to the original 140 topics. This executive summary consolidates the evidenceâbased findings of the document. Methods: ICARâRS presents over 180 topics in the forms of evidenceâbased reviews with recommendations (EBRRs), evidenceâbased reviews, and literature reviews. The highest grade structured recommendations of the EBRR sections are summarized in this executive summary. Results: ICARâRSâ2021 covers 22 topics regarding the medical management of RS, which are grade A/B and are presented in the executive summary. Additionally, 4 topics regarding the surgical management of RS are grade A/B and are presented in the executive summary. Finally, a comprehensive evidenceâbased management algorithm is provided. Conclusion: This ICARâRSâ2021 executive summary provides a compilation of the evidenceâbased recommendations for medical and surgical treatment of the most common forms of RS
Kentucky Government, Politics, and Public Policy
The cornerstone of the American republic is an educated, active, and engaged citizenry; however, the multifaceted inner workings of government and the political forces that shape it are incredibly complex. Kentucky Government, Politics, and Public Policy is the first book in nearly three decades to provide a comprehensive overview of the commonwealthâs major governing and political institutions and the public policy issues that profoundly affect Kentuckiansâ daily lives.
In this groundbreaking volume, editors James C. Clinger and Michael W. Hail have assembled respected scholars from across the state to inform citizens about their governing institutions, the consequences of their policy choices, and the intricacies of the political process. They provide clear and authoritative information on Kentuckyâs government and explain significant trends and patterns, exploring the legacy of the stateâs political history and illuminating the contributions of influential Kentucky politicians such as Henry Clay, Abraham Lincoln, and Jefferson Davis.
The contributors also address essential topics such as the structure and function of the three branches of government, the constitution, and federalism and intergovernmental relations, as well as administration, budgeting, and finance. They analyze key issues in education policy, economic and community development, and health care in great detail, explaining persistently controversial topics such as campaign finance, the cost of elections, ethics, and the oversight of regulatory agencies. From the executive branch to the legislature, from the court system to political parties, there is no better primer on government in the commonwealth.
James C. Clinger is associate professor of government and director of the masters of public administration at Murray State University.
Michael W. Hail is professor of government, assistant dean of the School of Public Affairs, and the director of the Master of Public Administration (MPA) and government graduate programs at Morehead State University.
With a blend of interviews of current political players, historical information, and hard data, Taking Kentucky Politics Seriously should serve as the go-to text in the library of any student, journalist, scholar or engaged citizen who yearns to understand how Kentucky\u27s government works--or doesn\u27t. -- Ryan Alessi, managing editor of Time Warner Cable\u27s cn|2 political coverage
The book will be a valuable reference for those who follow politics and public-policy debates. -- The Courier-Journal
The book is overdue because there has been no such comprehensive volume about Kentucky government and politics since the state Senate went Republican 14 years ago... -- Kentucky Standard
[...] there is little doubt the book is a historical and cultural exploration of the first order order...If you could only read one book that explains politics in Kentucky, this would...be a good choice. -- Bowling Green Daily Newshttps://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_political_science_american_politics/1036/thumbnail.jp
