Say, can´t you see Arabian gals now seek freedom? Removed grief relieves. BRING Desiring ´bling´ as offspring shoot hoops minus strings. Who can sing buying gaudy rings while kids miss grins.

In the fall of 2011, I began a course of graduate theatrical training at the University of Louisville. Over my three years of study, I have developed a process for the creation of a well-rounded and emotionally interesting character. I call my process three-dimensional acting. This process is composed of: a keen and in-depth study of and adherence to the text, careful and thorough voice work, and well-rehearsed and executed physicality. This study shows, through its application to the character of Matthew Poncelet, in Dead Man Walking, that my process is succeeds in creating a character of emotional complexity that an audience will empathize with, even if that character is of an unsavory nature.

"Breeding bird surveys indicate a long-term decline in the numbers of scoters (Melanitta sp.) in North America. My objectives were to estimate survival of nests, ducklings, and adult female White-winged Scoters (Melanitta fusca) breeding on the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, 2002-2004, within their primary breeding range. I measured habitat variables at nest sites and random sites in the study area to characterize nest habitat selection, and investigated breeding incidence with a laboratory analysis of circulating concentrations of the plasma yolk precursors vitellogenin (VTG) and very-low density lipoprotein (VLDL). The low hen and nest survival rates I observed combined with the substantial proportion of non-breeders on the breeding ground (up to 28%) may be responsible for the observed declines in abundance if annual survival rates are not high enough to maintain stable populations. Scoters avoided nesting in graminoid habitat, but nested in all other scrub or forested plant communities in proportion to their availability, selecting sites with more cover, higher variability of cover, and closer to edge and water than random sites. At the nest habitat scale, scoters are generalists, which may reduce the foraging efficiency of nest predators"--Leaf iii.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced countries to make difficult ethical choices, e.g., how to balance public health and socioeconomic activity and whom to prioritize in allocating vaccines or other scarce medical resources. We discuss the implications of benefit-cost analysis, utilitarianism, and prioritarianism in evaluating COVID-19-related policies. The relative regressivity of COVID-19 burdens and control policy costs determines whether increased sensitivity to distribution supports more or less aggressive control policies. Utilitarianism and prioritarianism, in that order, increasingly favor income redistribution mechanisms compared with benefit-cost analysis. The concern for the worse-off implies that prioritarianism is more likely than utilitarianism or benefit-cost analysis to target young and socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals in the allocation of scarce vaccine doses.
