People don’t want to just walk through life but seek to walk into it. Life is far from perfect. Often, it’s full of hard choices. Waking up from a coma to discover his eighteen-year-old body contained seven stage-four cancerous tumors, Christopher Stewart’s battle for his life began. For Chris, the easy choice was to fight for his life. The hard one was choosing to be himself in the process. Through this journey, Chris saw firsthand that life is filled with challenge, fear, pain, and chaos but that there is also love and beauty to be found and good memories to be made. Breakthrough offers insight into how beautifully haunting our lives can be, as Chris tells how to: - let go of the expectations to be a pretender - every day choose to be yourself—the person you were destined to be - accept yourself for who you are - chase your dreams, because anything is obtainable! Chris was able to make a breakthrough. And through this book he believes that you can breakthrough too. By facing fear, chaos, and pain, you too can find a more meaningful life.

Contemporary neuroscience, infant research, and relational psychotherapy make clear that we are a relational species-that our brain and neurological systems actually organize in the first year of life depending on the relationships that are and are not available. By the second year of life a symbiotic interaction, characterized by mutual affect regulation and mutual attachment experiences, is becoming established. In Terror in Psychotherapy, Dr. Lawrence Hedges demonstrates how trauma experienced during these "organizing" and "symbiotic" levels of relational development stimulate fear, anxiety, and terror that have consequences for later relationships-in extreme forms laying the foundation for suicide and homicide. A series of case vignettes illustrate how early relational intrusive trauma produce terror in transference and countertransference experiencing.

This thesis seeks develop a programmatic strategy that integrates seniors into existing communities by identifying the existing amenities and public services offered, understanding the gaps in services for seniors, and then filling those gaps through a new seniors congregate living facility. It also seeks to understand the impacts of retiring Baby Boomers on the seniors care industry, and to integrate new ideas about healthy living and aging-in-place. Victoria BC, which has a significant seniors population, will be the testing ground for this proposed strategy.

Goals: Red Blotch disease (RB) is a recently discovered malady which is impacting grape growing regions in the United States. It is important for growers and winemakers to know the effects the disease may have on grape and wine composition in order to make informed decisions. This study made wines to imitate what might be found as field blends in vineyards affected to different degrees by RB disease. The goal is to determine at what incidence of RB infection will overall wine composition and quality be affected. Key findings: In the grapes at harvest the major differences were a decrease in Brix and significantly higher concentrations of tannins and non-tannin phenolics, in the RB affected fruit. Phenolic analyses found anthocyanins to be significantly higher in all wines made with inclusion of fruit from healthy vines and tannin concentrations were significantly higher in wines made with more fruit from RB affected vines. Many of the volatile differences found may be attributable to fermentation and harvest Brix level. Four mouthfeel and taste sensory attributes were found to be significantly different among the wines, all of which could be the result of ethanol differences. Impact and significance: This study is the first to investigate the impact of making wine with RB affected fruit. Previous studies have focused on the disease’s effect on grape composition. The largest impact on wine composition was ethanol concentration due to decreased sugar accumulation in grapes from RB diseased vines resulting in lower sugar content at harvest compared to grapes coming from healthy vines. The difference in ethanol concentration among the wines was also the main driver for sensory differences in the final wines. Findings can help vineyard managers and winemakers make harvest and winemaking decision such as whether sequential harvesting is a viable option and to what extent inclusion of RB affected fruit can impact wine style.

Its very name conjures images of a vast and trackless landscape, where snow-covered onion domes peep over heavy stone fortress walls. Its history is an epic populated by dreamers, madmen and geniuses who left an indelible imprint on the national character. Above all, it is a place where the 21st century collides with the 12th, where the radiant future was born and the past is not really the past. “It’s Russia, My Son” pulls back the veil which has long shrouded this land in mystery, exploring the mindset of a people who have shaped, and continue to shape, the world we live in. A romp through the history and culture of the world’s largest nation, It’s Russia, My Son is a quest to find out what really makes Russians tick. Attitudes towards power, love, friendship, religion and warfare have all played a role in forming the legendary Russian soul. By exploring these themes among many others, the reader will come away with a “roadmap” of the Russian soul, in all its glory and heartbreak, tragedy and triumph. The book will appeal to general readers, as well as travelers, explorers and historians looking for a fresh vantage point from which to view one of the world’s most intriguing nations.

Morning Star Rising at its core is a love story, love story about God's love for humanity in sending an angel to the city to see if there is any fruit in it before it is destroyed. An angel visits to find a remnant, so it can be saved. This spiritual world is lead by this angel from heaven who comes to the city with the gospel of peace. One world is the society consisting of laws that support sexual immorality. The god of this world, the ruler of the spiritual world influences the affairs of this world. Another world lived spiritually by faith, hope and love, coexists within this fallen world. A grass roots effort emerges with men such as Terry, Matt and Ben challenge the culture and laws of Tobin. Rachel and Kate shine as lights to champion the rights of women and children. They embrace a belief in a power greater than themselves. They shine as lights within dark places. In a world and society that is darkened in the areas of sensuality and sexuality, there is an absence of true love. Pleasure is a dominant feature within the reign of the notorious Mayor Tobin. The popular city named Babel for all its complexity and duality is influenced by this fallen star, Lucifer. The story is about the rise and fall of one star for a new star to rise- Son of the Morning Star. The protagonists of the story must face the challenges of their past if they are to be victorious over any future struggles. The brightest star, Christ represents the Sun that rises in the morning, dissipates darkness. This star rises within the hearts and minds of men and women who embrace eternity. This is the idea behind Morning Star Rising

Trapped gases of ultracold metastable helium atoms are a unique experimental system. The trapped cloud's low temperatures, the ability to selectively trap and manipulate individual atomic states and the isolation provided in a vacuum chamber are all conducive to the measurement of precision atomic parameters, such as atomic transition rates. Due to its atomic structure helium - the simplest multi-electron atom - is a favourite test-bed for precision QED theoretical calculations compared to experimentally determined parameters. This thesis reports on a number of transition rates measured for the first time with high accuracy, including the first excited metastable state lifetime, found to be 7870(510)s, the longest of any neutral atomic species yet measured. Transition rates from the 23 P level to the ground state were also measured for the first time and found to be in excellent agreement with theory. Further cooling of helium produces a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), where all atoms are in an identical quantum state, the analogue of an optical laser. One particularly interesting property a BEC posesses is long-range coherence to all orders, meaning all component particles are described by a single wavefunction. While first order coherence is measured in an interference experiment like Young's double slit, higher order coherence is the ability for correlations to exist between groups of two, three or more particles, quantified by the measurement of correlation functions. Prior to the work in this thesis correlation functions for atoms had only been measured for second order. Here we develop a new technique which we use to show that a BEC is coherent to second and third order to 0.1% accuracy, compared to a thermal cloud which we show is incoherent. At small inter-particle spacings, there is an enhanced probability of measuring double and triple events in the thermal cloud (termed bunching). A drawback of all previous atomic correlation measurements is that the small de-Broglie wavelengths compared to the detector resolution leads to a significant reduction in the measured bunching amplitudes compared to theory. By altering our trapping configuration and temperature we are able to measure a two-particle bunching amplitude which is 88% of the theoretical maximum. This system also allowed the measurement of correlations up to 5th order in thermal gases. The near ideal bunching allowed us to demonstrate perturbations to the correlation functions due to the 1D nature of the system. These advances should lead to correlation measurements being used as a probe to characterise more exotic system properties such as low dimensionality, engineered quantum states and paticle pairing. Finally, a waveguide was created using a dipole laser beam and used to guide atoms in analogy to an optical laser in a fibre. Guided 'atom lasers' are likely to be important components for practical devices such as precision sensors. We demonstrate that a guided atom laser has a gaussian profile matching the lowest transverse mode of the waveguide and is first and second order coherent. In contrast guided thermal atoms show matter-wave speckle and are incoherent.
