Dr Elizabeth Stewart is a counsellor who suffered a severe traffic accident that left her partly paralysed, in constant pain and needing to use a wheelchair. She shares her story of how the Catholic teaching on offering up one''s pain and suffering, so that Christ may transform it, can bring great good from a difficult situation. Christ accepts our offering and joins it to His own suffering on the Cross, and so helps us to share in His redemptive work, whatever our circumstances may be and regardless of whether our pain is physical, emotional, or both. In taking part in His own sacrifice, we can find joy and contentment in the midst of our pain. As well as describing her own journey, Dr Stewart uses the examples of St Therese of Lisieux and of Jesus Himself to illustrate how this transformation takes place.

My Darlin'' Quarantine: Intimate Connections Created in Chaos is a collection of short comedies that describe the humorous ways in which five small groups of average people deal with an absurd situation: quarantine with strangers. Shocked at first, characters react with creativity to forced quarantines in a dental office, a beauty salon, a car dealership, a dive bar, and a law firm. The constriction of place, the anonymity that strangers offer, and the challenge of invention, provide an invitation for imaginations to soar amidst unlikely bonds. Great loves, friendships, and triumphs come out of facing the near impossible --the challenge of living creatively for 42 days, in a strange place. My Darlin'' Quarantine takes the reader on a journey into the surreal world of our present crisis set in the future in the unlikeliest of places, where creativity is channeled into personal growth through the companionship of earnest, annoying, funny, all-too-human strangers.

After joining the crew of a ship in search of Cecette herself, at large, she met Gills, a light-headed sailor who became her best friend. All of a sudden, Cecette uncovered the true murderer of her mother, and desperately escapes to a seaside town. There, she discovers a secret even the fates could not have seen coming.

"A profound personal experience of white privilege and inherited racism sparked this heuristic study that examines stories of Southern descendants of slaveholding ancestors to understand the tension, if any, between historic and contemporary racism. Personal and family stories gathered during nine interviews were analyzed using a praxis model to track individuals'' positions in the cycle from original story to witness, awareness, catharsis, desire for change, and creation of a new story. Stories may reveal shame and guilt or transformation(s). The shared stories detail varying tensions associated with moving into a world where all have dignity and worth"--Abstract.

Using a distinctly and deliberately interdisciplinary approach to the subject of religion and spirituality as it presents itself within modern Western Societies today, this thesis argues that Straight Edge hardcore punk is a surrogate for religion. The term surrogate is used to denote the notion of a successor and a protector and provider of nourishment. It has been re-interpreted from Theodore Ziolkowski''s work on the same term in ''Modes of Faith'', in which he examines surrogates for religion which emerged during the early part of the 20th century. An in-depth study, both theoretical and ethnographic in nature and presentation, of Straight Edge hardcore punk is provided to demonstrate that traditionally held categories of religion, secular, sacred and profane are being dismantled and re-built around ideas of authenticity, community, integrity, d.i.y and spirituality. Through the syncretic practices of the Straight Edge adherents they are de-essentialising religion and thus enabling us to re-consider the question of what religion is or could be. This thesis relies on theoretical ideas, interview quotes, informant quotes, researcher taken photographs, and interviewee created or utilised images, tattoos, graffiti and flyers. All of these are interspersed with song lyrics from various bands relevant to the time period under discussion and the themes being drawn out. Much like the adherents themselves, this thesis exists very much within the space of the ''in-between'', which creates and reacts to necessary tensions throughout.

This thesis examines the relationship between certain characteristics of osseous human remains and the likelihood of successful mtDNA sequencing. The research was conducted using 392 samples from 98 cases at the JPAC Central Identification Laboratory. Density, sample mass, and post-excavation room temperature storage time were recorded and compared to sequencing success using generalized estimating equations. The results showed that increased density and sample mass increased the likelihood of sequencing success, while increased density and sample mass increased the likelihood of sequencing success, while increased room temperature storage time decreased the likelihood of success. It is clear that density is a predictor of sequencing success and future samples should be taken from the densest bone available. The results of this study indicate the need for future studies investigating the reason that increased mass increases success, e.g., whether it allows for additional sequencing attempts, more favorable extraction conditions, or reflects the presence of more intact remains. In addition, further work looking at whether the trend in storage time holds up across all laboratory samples would help strengthen the conclusion and allow for a change in procedure, i.e., cold storage or more expedient sampling.
