Difficulty with emotion regulation early in life can lead to poor developmental outcomes, such as childhood psychopathology. Therefore, it is important to identify factors associated with emotion regulation deficits earlier, rather than later. Research has indicated that infant emotion regulation develops within the context of the mother-infant attachment relationship, so factors, such as maternal personality that impact the security of this relationship may influence adaptive or maladaptive emotion regulation in infants. In light of this, the present study aimed to further explore how dysfunctional personality traits in mothers relates to infant regulation of fear and frustration. Participants were recruited from a large, ongoing longitudinal study. Four personality constructsnegative affect, neuroticism, psychoticism, and extraversionwere measured in mothers via self-reported questionnaire data. Infant emotion regulation was assessed by using respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) during tasks designed to evoke fear and frustration when infants were 8-months- and 12-months-old. Results showed that infant RSA during fear-evoking tasks was positively associated with maternal irritability and psychoticism was augmented, suggesting poor regulation. Further, during fear-evoking tasks, infant RSA was negatively associated with maternal irritability and psychoticism, suggesting better regulation.

Although the vast majority of nursing home residents are 85 years old and over, recent advances in the medical treatment of traumatic brain injuries and other previous fatal illnesses have contributed to an increase of younger individuals being admitted to nursing homes. Younger individuals living in long-term care have differing needs from older adults because they seek control and flexibility with emphasis on living a productive and meaningful life. Younger residents report feeling "out of place" and without any age-appropriate services to utilize. Very little research has been done on the activities offered to younger residents in skilled nursing facilities. The purpose of this study was to explore the use of positive psychology activities with residents aged 45–79 living in a skilled nursing facility. Participants found the positive psychology group activities to be enjoyable and helpful for maintaining positive emotions. Participants found forgiveness and humor were found to be overall most helpful. This study provides some preliminary support for the use of positive psychology activities with younger residents in skilled nursing facilities to enrich the residents’ well-being.

“The Hollywood memoir that tells all . . . Sex. Drugs. Greed. Why, it sounds just like a movie.”—The New York Times Every memoir claims to bare it all, but Julia Phillips’s actually does. This is an addictive, gloves-off exposé from the producer of the classic films The Sting, Taxi Driver, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind—and the first woman ever to win an Academy Award for Best Picture—who made her name in Hollywood during the halcyon seventies and the yuppie-infested eighties and lived to tell the tale. Wickedly funny and surprisingly moving, You’ll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again takes you on a trip through the dream-manufacturing capital of the world and into the vortex of drug addiction and rehab on the arm of one who saw it all, did it all, and took her leave. Praise for You''ll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again “One of the most honest books ever written about one of the most dishonest towns ever created.”—The Boston Globe “Gossip too hot for even the National Enquirer . . . Julia Phillips is not so much Hollywood’s Boswell as its Dante.”—Los Angeles Magazine “A blistering look at La La Land.”—USA Today “One of the nastiest, tastiest tell-alls in showbiz history.”—People

From gifted storyteller Julia Phillips Smith comes a darkly seductive tale of vampire horror, where creatures of the darkness are engaged in a bloody battle for supremacy in a Dark Age world... It is a time when only an elite brotherhood of immortal warriors stands between humans and vampires, preventing the complete annihilation of the human race. Who are called to this service? Only those warriors who curse God with their dying breath.... Bold and courageous Welsh warrior Peredur is one such man. He falls to a spear on a raging battlefield before he can claim his beloved Tanwen for his bride. In those final moments Peredur utters the curse that seals his fate and leads him to another life. Using the power of a saint whose bone makes up an amulet, Peredur takes on the trials to become a true member of the brotherhood-and wage war against the dangerous prowling creatures of the night. Yet his need for Tanwen still burns.... Tanwen resists her father''s command to take a husband. The only one who understands her sorrow is Cavan, the wise woman''s son. When he promises to use dark forces to reunite her with her beloved, she agrees to his terms. But does Tanwen truly understand the depth of the price that must be paid?

No one is safe when the dragon glides low over the Eighth Dominion. Not the high born who plot and spill blood. Not the low born who serve with one eye to the sky and the other glancing back. Young Scorpius is fetched from the estate nursery, once raised to live among the nobility--claimed finally not by his family, but by a falconer to serve as his apprentice. Scorpius soon learns that a noble hides his monstrous appetites beneath velvet and jewels, while the leathery-winged dragon is honest about his own. His master does his best to shield Scorpius from the world outside their cottage, but the falconer is merely a servant who must obey his own masters. An attempt on the life of a young lord while on a hunt sends the falconer''s apprentice on an abruptly different path, bringing Scorpius into the service of the House of Pruzhnino. Court intrigue sinks its talons into everyone, even Scorpius--especially a former falconer''s apprentice once raised to be a lord in his own right.

Inform your students'' lives with the richness of thousands of years of Jewish history, culture, and tradition. Teaching Jewish History tackles separately each of the key Jewish historical periods-Biblical, Rabbinic, Medieval, Early Modern, Enlightenment, and Modern, as well as the North American Jewish experience. The authors shift focus away from rote memorization of dates, names, and places, and instead examine each period through the lens of core historical concepts-the Diaspora, Covenant, acculturation, assimilation, and building community. History comes to life, helping students whether elementary, middle or high school, or adult develop a stronger Jewish identity. Teaching Jewish History gives teachers the tools to: Understand and explain the meaning of key concepts, terms, names, places, and events in each period of history. Identify and examine primary source documents and objects such as artifacts, diaries, sacred texts, photographs, and artwork. Conduct meaningful discussions of how the core concepts of Jewish history recur in and are relevant to each historical period. Develop a variety of activities including field trips, mock trials, oral histories, and role-playing activities. Place historical events on a timeline. Use additional historical and educational resources such as books, articles, videos, and Internet sites. Teaching Jewish History is an invaluable resource for the novice and the expert teacher of religious and day school children and for educators working with adults in synagogues, community centers, and family education programs.

"Stalking via the Internet (cyberstalking) occurs via technologies such as email, instant messaging, chat rooms, discussion groups, and social networking websites. Recent news reports indicate a growing concern about the ease with which personal information can be accessed on the Internet - a fact that is shaping new social norms for young adults and children who have grown up using the Internet. This thesis measured the prevalence and nature of cyberstalking among Rochester Institute of Technology students. A survey was conducted and the results were evaluated with SIDE theory and social conduct theory as guides to understand if cyberstalking behavior is becoming normalized among college students or if it is viewed as misbehavior"--Abstract.

Mammalian predation is commonly cited as one of the most important factors contributing to low juvenile recruitment in turtle populations. The authors investigated nest predation for five different turtle species native to PPNP. Their results indicated that nest predation, primarily by raccoons during the first 14 days post-laying, was responsible for high nest mortality among all turtle species.
