Building a purpose-filled and inspired life is not only one of the most exciting undertakings a human being can take, it is also one of the most challenging. We understand the value of having passion and inspiration, but spend an inordinate amount of our life force energy just trying to "keep it together" versus manufacturing the blueprint for inspiration. If The Law of Attraction is not working for you it is because most of us don''t fully understand that when we take the first step of settingIntention, we do not fully understand that Intention is set both at the conscious level and the subconscious level. We tend to set our Intention, only at the conscious level and have not discovered the blueprint that already exists at the subconscious level. This book IS NOT a rah rah book to tell you what you already know, and because you are not doing what you know works, it has simply become the excuse to beat yourself up. This book IS about moving out of self!deception and moving into a new way to tell yourself the truth about the blueprint that already exists. Beyond truth there lies action, the book is filled with tools for under!standing what you have been scripted to believe about yourself and the world around you and therefore are acting automatically in alignment with those beliefs. When you understand these beliefs you can actually begin the process of changing your life.

This thesis, based on 132 survivor testimonies, examines menstruation during the Holocaust as another way National Socialism assaulted, abused, and decimated women’s bodies. Women reveal that due to the lack of bathrooms, adequate sanitary napkins, and proper hygienic practices in concentration, slave labour, and death camps, experiencing a monthly cycle while imprisoned resulted in a gendered form of terror. Survivors detail the short and long-term effects of their experiences with menstruation, including physical violence and fear of death, infertility, and a loss of feminine identity. This form of gendered humiliation and the dehumanizing nature of the camps affected women’s bodies into the post-war period. This thesis, the first scholarly work to look specifically this topic, further complicates the narrative of women’s lives in the Holocaust, by exploring the ways menstruation, in both its occurrence and disappearance, impacted how women lived and died.

Abstract.

The research question addressed is, what are the research-supported guidelines for effectively engaging selective mute ELL students in learning? The motivating factor for this capstone was the author''s experience working with an ELL student who chose not to speak at school. The author wanted to create a resource guide for educators working with selective mute ELL students. The capstone presents four main areas of research: selective mutism, second language acquisition, factors affecting language learning, and best practice instructional strategies for elementary ELL students. The author synthesized research on these topics and created a research-supported resource guide that educators can use to effectively engage selective mute ELL students in learning.

Study to develop analysis tools to assess skeletal muscle vasculature on the network level. Also assesses whether the gracillis anterior muscle of a mouse is sufficiently thin to perform a comprehensive morphological analysis, and whether the data generated from these methods would yield reasonable computation of hemodynamic parameters. Horton''s Law of Stream Numbers and the diameter-defined Strahler method were applied to assess the vasculature as a whole.

Past research of emerging adults has yet to investigate the individual experiences and processes of identity development in emerging adults who are in the workforce or currently unemployed (Hendry & Kloep, 2007), predominately focusing on emerging adults attending universities. The current study expands the study of identity development in emerging adulthood to include varied educational contexts. The current study compared normative college students, first generation college students, technical college students and those who have never attended college, to evaluate potential group differences in identity exploration and the relationship between identity exploration and psychological adjustment. Emerging adults in college contexts engaged in more complex identity processing than those who never attended college. However, identity achievement was associated with positive outcomes in all groups. Further, it appears that the contexts under which identity processing occur may vary, though this remains a question for future research.
