About the Book One day Anna Harris was remembering growing up on a farm in Leavenworth, KS. As she thought about that, she began to write the memories of things that had happened during her life. She thought it would be fun to share her memories with her community. She began writing a new story each week for her local newspaper. She had so many folks telling her as each story was written how much they enjoyed it. Then they started encouraging her to write a book! As the memories continued to flood her mind and folks told her how much they enjoyed her stories, she decided why not! She began gathering the memories she had shared and adding more as they continued to come to her. Some of them were FUN stories and some were fond memories of family and friends that were around her family as she grew up. Memories of her family members and all they did on the farm flooded back to her. Each story reminded her of another one. The pages grew and grew! She wishes her mom and dad had lived to be able to read the book. She can almost hear her dad saying, “So, Tut Tut, you think you are a writer now.” He would have been so proud. Her mom would have been even more! She can hear her saying, “Anna Marie!” or “That’s My Anna!” She is so glad that Mom and Dad adopted her at birth. She was wanted and loved just as if she were their own blood. She would like to thank everyone who has encouraged her to do this. She would also encourage you to write your own story. Even if it is just for your memories and your family. We go through life so fast these days. We need to slow down and enjoy each other and the happenings in our lives. Not only MAKE the memories, but also KEEP the memories. Farm Livin’ Was the Life for Her!

A surprising investigation of a scientific instrument long at the pulse of medicine. This book explores the colorful past, present, and future of an instrument that is, quite literally, close to our hearts. The stethoscope has become the symbol of medicine itself—how did this come to be? What makes the stethoscope such a familiar yet charismatic object? Drawing from a range of fields including history, anthropology, science, technology, and sound studies, the book illustrates the variety of roles the stethoscope has played over time. It shows that the stethoscope is not, and has never been, a single entity. It is used to a variety of ends, serves several purposes, and is open to many interpretations. This variability is the key to the stethoscope’s enduring presence in the medical and popular imagination.

A Sensory Education takes a close look at how sensory awareness is learned and taught in expert and everyday settings around the world. Anna Harris shows that our sensing is not innate or acquired, but in fact evolves through learning that is shaped by social and material relations. The chapters feature diverse sources of sensory education, including field manuals, mannequins, cookbooks and flavour charts. The examples range from medical training and forest bathing to culinary and perfumery classes. Offering a valuable guide to the uncanny and taken-for-granted ways in which adults are trained to improve their senses, this book will be of interest to disciplines including anthropology and sociology as well as food studies and sensory studies.

C O W B R A I N S We are particularly proud to present today these short stories and poems written by Anna Harris-Parker, Jim Minick and Spencer Wise, Creative Writing professors, and translated into Spanish by Augusta University English and Foreign Languages'' students: Adrianne Rivera, Payton Gerst, Corin E. Hoell, Sandra Rodriguez, Jessica Bolduc, Karan Soni, Bryson Harrison, Isabel Miller, Zachary Koschene, Maximiliano Lozano, Juan Ayala, Perry Barinowski, Laura Garza, Caitlyn Ferguson, Linda, Parilla Genao and Karen García. Dear all, you did a great job! Anna Harris Parker''s poems seemed to be easy at a first glance. A few words for a little job, one could say... On the contrary: every single letter keeps an entire universe inside, and you chose the right ones. Poets know how natural and yet how difficult it can be. Now you know that too. Group two, translating Spencer Wise''s story, had the hardest job it seems, in terms of translation dilemmas. The numerous differences between Spanish and English linguistic structures were in this work the real challenge. However, you have found an excellent solution for every one of them. Jim Minick''s group had a chance to deal with a piece of fine literature, beautifully translated. Jim''s prose is warm and works with senses and images, whereas Spencer''s for exemple is more cerebral and plays with words and humorism. You had a great opportunity. I hope you will keep this experience in some place inside you, where precious memories are kept jealously.

Online genetic testing services are increasingly being offered to consumers who are becoming exposed to, and knowledgeable about, new kinds of genetic technologies, as the launch of a 23andme genetic testing product in the UK testifies. Genetic research breakthroughs, cheek swabbing forensic pathologists and celebrities discovering their ancestral roots are littered throughout the North American, European and Australasian media landscapes. Genetic testing is now capturing the attention, and imagination, of hundreds of thousands of people who can not only buy genetic tests online, but can also go online to find relatives, share their results with strangers, sign up for personal DNA-based musical scores, and take part in research. This book critically examines this market of direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing from a social science perspective, asking, what happens when genetics goes online? With a focus on genetic testing for disease, the book is about the new social arrangements which emerge when a traditionally clinical practice (genetic testing) is taken into new spaces (the internet). It examines the intersections of new genetics and new media by drawing from three different fields: internet studies; the sociology of health; and science and technology studies. While there has been a surge of research activity concerning DTC genetic testing, particularly in sociology, ethics and law, this is the first scholarly monograph on the topic, and the first book which brings together the social study of genetics and the social study of digital technologies. This book thus not only offers a new overview of this field, but also offers a unique contribution by attending to the digital, and by drawing upon empirical examples from our own research of DTC genetic testing websites (using online methods) and in-depth interviews in the United Kingdom with people using healthcare services.

Sci-fi fan or not, aliens hold a fascination for humans. The mystery of UFOs, the thought they may walk among us without us knowing, the thought they may be watching us all the time... these things ensure that we, as a race, are absorbed with thoughts of ‘aliens’, however they might show themselves. In giving Thirteen’s talented writers a theme like that, it was guaranteed that the stories which came in would cover every possible interpretation of the alien theme that you can imagine, and then some. Walk some strange pathways, read some strange stories, discover some strange aliens... Check out more Thirteen Press & Horrified Press titles here: horrifiedpress.wordpress.com

In olden times cartographers would mark the unexplored areas HERE BE MONSTERS or HERE BE DRAGONS. Either way it meant unknown territory. When the chance came to edit an anthology of clown stories, it had to be HERE BE CLOWNS for they too are unknown territory. Who can really say what goes on behind the painted face? Is it true that clowns have two sides, the nonsensical one and the sad one? What are their secret desires? Are they as benevolent as they would have us think they are? So many people have coulrophobia that it has become an accepted condition now, despite it being relatively new in the psychiatric world. Part of this is due to Stephen King''s terrifying book IT: the rest, I believe, is down to our aversion to ''something different''. Masks have always been scary; a clown''s face is surely the ultimate mask. An anthology of scary clown stories was overdue, so here it is... Enjoy...

Not long after the girl had been slain the flies had appeared - just a few at first then in ever increasing numbers. Every time he opened a door or a window they would rush in. They constantly buzzed about the house, making his life a torment. Every night the odious little creatures would crawl over his body and in to any orifice that they could find their way into, depriving him of sleep. He could scarcely get down a mouthful of food anymore that did not contain at least one or two of the vermin. Finally he decided to stop venturing out entirely in the hopes that he could keep the horrid little things from entering into his home. He sealed himself within his house, closing off all the doors and windows with duct tape. Then he proceeded to hunt down the ones that still remained with a swatter. He was safe as long as he stayed within the confines of his own home. Still the flies tried to gain entrance. As he sat in his darkened room he could hear them buzzing angrily as they battered themselves to death against his windows. - From "Wings of Retribution" by Kevin L Jones.

Scholars have amassed robust evidence that teacher-student relationships (TSR) are associated with a multitude of valued student outcomes. Although much of this research has focused on elementary-school students, TSR are vital at the secondary-school level. Drawing from a sample of 922 middle and high school students and their 127 teachers in six different schools, this article examines these relationships with three goals in mind. First, we describe the development of a multifaceted approach to measuring TSR at the secondary level that addresses four complexities of these relationships. Next, we focus on four of these schools to examine how this measure predicts a series of student achievement, affective, behavioral, and motivational outcomes. By contrasting this new, multifaceted approach to a more traditional approach, we find that this new measure sharpens our understanding of how TSR are associated with an array of student outcomes. Finally, we assess the promise of TSR as a focal point for future interventions. Given our findings in combination with prior research, we conclude that field experiments to test whether improved TSR cause improvements in student outcomes are not only warranted, but could have major theoretical and practical implications for social motivation in secondary classrooms. Two appendixes present: (1) Teacher-Student Relationship Scale: Student and Teacher Items; and (2) Student Outcome Measures. (Contains 2 footnotes, 1 figure, and 6 tables.).

"This booklet contains stories of what it is like to negotiate work in Australian hospitals as an overseas doctor. Rather than documenting the words of politicians, managers, or supervisors, it contains mainly the words of the doctors themsleves."--P. 1.

Over the course of formulating the VEM, existing models that simulate specific growth rates were examined to reveal limitations in the selection of maximum growth rates followed in traditional formulations. A model is presented that simulates a maximum specific growth rate explicitly in terms of light and temperature conditions. An adaptive partitioning coefficient, dependent on temperature, is introduced to allocate new growth to leaves or the growing rhizome.
