Archaeological Monitoring Of Atoms Natural Gas Pipeline Replacement, Oakwood Cemetery And Adjacent Grand Avenue Public Right Of Way, City Of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas

Red River Archaeology, LLC (RRA) has been contracted by Atmos Energy Corporation (Atmos) to conduct archaeological monitoring of the replacement of a 1.25-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline located within Oakwood Cemetery and extending under adjacent Grand Avenue public right of way (ROW) in Tarrant County. The project area is located within the city limits of Fort Worth, approximately 1.5 miles northwest of the city center and depicted on the Haltom City, Tex. 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle (USGS 1981) (Figure 1). More specifically, the project area is located along Grand Avenue, 160 feet (ft) northeast of the Grand Avenue – Gould Avenue intersection. The purpose of the project is to replace an existing Atmos natural gas pipeline with a new pipeline. The new pipeline will connect to an existing gas meter located at the south façade of a metal maintenance building within Oakwood Cemetery. The existing pipeline will be abandoned in place. The proposed archaeological Area of Potential Effects (APE) coordinated with the THC in the permit application consisted of a 6.12-meter wide (20 ft) Atmos easement beginning in the privately-owned Oakwood Cemetery at the existing meter and extending 21.15 meters (m) (69 ft 4 inches) in a northwesterly direction to the center-line of Grand Avenue. However, during monitoring, the area of impact was modified and shortened by the construction contractor. No excavation was performed within the paved roadway of Grand Avenue as originally anticipated and the trench was excavated only to intersect with the existing gas line and did not extend to the gas meter. The final APE was shortened from the coordinated length of 21.15 m to the 15.66 m of the actual trench excavation. Depth of impact is anticipated to exceed 1 m (3 ft). Although Atmos will be replacing additional gas lines along the north drive lane and right of way of Grand Avenue, this area is beyond the 25 ft buffer area surrounding the cemetery and was not recommended for monitoring per TAC 13 § 26.7 (Figure 2). Oakwood Cemetery is not a public cemetery and does not fall under the statutory requirements of TAC 9.191.093: Protection of publicly owned cemeteries. However, in accordance with the Antiquities Code of Texas, RRA proposed to conduct archaeological construction monitoring of the proposed APE as 0.012 acres is located within City of Fort Worth ROW. The remaining section of the APE (.018 acres) is within privately-owned Oakwood Cemetery and was also monitored during construction. No federal undertaking is anticipated for this project; therefore, consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) is not required. In the event that a burial(s) was encountered, the project would follow the requirements of the Texas Administrative Code Title 13 Part 2 Chapter 22: Cemeteries; the Texas Health and Safety Code Title 8 Subtitle C Chapter 711: General Provisions Related to Cemeteries; the Texas Penal Code Title 9 Chapter 42 Section 42.08: Abuse of Corpse; and Title 7 Chapter 31.03: Thef. The proposed project is located within an historic-age cemetery which is listed as a Registered Texas Historic Landmark (RTHL) and designated TR-CO77. A separate consultation has been submitted to the Architectural Division of the Texas Historical Commission (THC) on 11 March 2015 due to the RTHL designation. In reply dated 26 March 2015, the Architectural Division agreed with the proposed scope of work and stated that the project “will not affect any historic feature or designated landscape elements of the cemetery” provided areas of trenching are returned to pre-construction condition. Fieldwork was conducted under the supervision of Charles D. Neel, and Sarah M. Cole, MA, RPA, served as Principal Investigator for the project. Fieldwork was completed on 12 May 2015. The trench excavation location was subjected to 100 percent monitoring (Figure 2). Two general areas of mixed modern and historic glass, ceramic, brick, metal, and composite material were documented from monitored back-dirt during the excavation of the pipeline trench and were recorded as Isolated Finds (IFs) Locality-1 and Locality-2. No graves, grave shafts, or associated artifacts were encountered during construction monitoring. All records associated with this project will be curated at the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory. It is recommended that artifacts recovered from IF Locality-1 (in City of Fort Worth ROW) be discarded as they are highly redundant and lack historical, cultural, or scientific value. Artifacts recovered from IF Locality-2 are located on private property and will be returned to the landowner

Relations Between Intimate Partner Violence and Forgiveness Among College Women

The purpose of the current investigation was to examine forgiveness and intimate partner violence (IPV) among college women. Undergraduate women (N = 502) participated in an online study in which overall experiences of IPV, as well as experiences of psychological and physical IPV, were investigated with respect to transgression-specific and dispositional forgiveness. Simultaneous multivariate regressions revealed that (a) the experience of IPV was associated with higher levels of avoidance and revenge, and lower levels of benevolence, forgiveness of self, forgiveness of others, and forgiveness of uncontrollable situations; (b) types of IPV demonstrated differing impacts on forgiveness; and (c) the mere experience of IPV is more salient than its frequency

Simultaneous detection of controlled substances in waste water

This study presents a method of simultaneous detection of both traditional and newly emerged drugs of abuse in wastewater. The method is based on solid phase extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. This analytical method separates 25 drugs from different classes including amphetamines, cathinones, tropane alkaloids, piperazines plus ketamine, amitriptyline, diazepam and morphine. In addition, newer compounds (methcathinone, mephedrone, butylone), and isomers (1-(2-methoxyphenyl) piperazine, 1-(4-methoxyphenyl) piperazine; 1-(2-flurophenyl) piperazine, 1-(4-flurophenyl) piperazine; 1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl) piperazine, 1-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl) piperazine) have been separated, with greater sensitivity (×100 order of magnitude). This work reports the detection of butylone, mephedrone, 1-(4-methoxyphenyl) piperazine, 1-(2-flurophenyl) piperazine and 1-methyl-4-benzylpiperazine for the first time in waste water. This suggests that with changes in drug use patterns, constant monitoring of waste water entering treatment plants should be carried out and treatment processes need to be put in place for their removal

The Antidepressant and Anxiolytic Effects of Cannabinoids in Chronic Unpredictable Stress: A Preclinical Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Neuroscience research presents contradictory evidence in support of both the protective and destructive effects of cannabinoids in depression. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis summarizes the existing preclinical literature on the effects of cannabinoid administration in the chronic unpredictable stress model of depression in order to evaluate the effects of cannabinoids and identify gaps in the literature. After protocol registration (PROSPERO #CRD42020219986), we systematically searched Scopus, Embase, Psychology & Behavioral Sciences Collection, APA PsychINFO, PubMed, CINAHL Complete, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global from the earliest record of the databases, February 1964, to November 2020 for articles that met inclusion criteria (e.g., rodent subjects and administration of a cannabinoid. A total of 26 articles were included representing a sample size estimate of 1132 rodents with the majority of articles administering daily intraperitoneal injections during chronic unpredictable stress. These articles were evaluated using a modified SYRCLE\u27s risk-of-bias tool. For each continuous behavioral measure, the standardized mean difference was calculated between cannabinoid and vehicle groups in rodents subjected to chronic unpredictable stress. The effects of cannabinoids on depressive-like behavior was evaluated using a multilevel mixed-effects model with effect size weights nested within control groups. Cannabinoid administration moderately improved the pooled negative effects of chronic unpredictable stress on anhedonia, learned helplessness, novelty suppressed feeding, time in the anxiogenic context, and entries into the anxiogenic context. Although the interpretations are limited, these findings suggest that with further investigation, cannabinoids may be a viable long-term treatment for stress-related psychopathologies such as depression

Posting selfies and body image in young adult women: The selfie paradox

This exploratory study was designed to investigate how young women make sense of their decision to post selfies, and perceived links between selfie posting and body image. Eighteen 19-22 year old British women were interviewed about their experiences of taking and posting selfies, and interviews were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Women linked selfie posting to the ‘ideal’ body, identity management, and body exposure; objectifying their own and others’ selfies, and trying to portray an image that was as close to ‘ideal’ as possible. Women differentiated between their ‘unreal’, digitally manipulated online selfie identity and their ‘real’ identity outside Facebook and Instagram. Bodies were expected to be covered, and sexualised selfies were to be avoided. Results challenge conceptualisations of women as empowered and self-determined selfie posters; although women sought to control their image online, posting was constrained by postfeminist notions of what was considered socially appropriate to post
