Rethinking the Welfare State offers a comprehensive and comparative analysis of social welfare policy in an international context, with a particular emphasis on the US and Canada. The authors investigate the claim that a decentralized delivery of government supported goods and services enables policy objectives to be achieved in a more innovative and efficient way, but at a lower cost. Secondly they examine the effectiveness of the voucher system as a solution to problematic welfare concerns. While this system has shown much promise in improving welfare, there have been problems for institutions unable to attract enough voucher-assisted consumers to ensure their survival. In this context, the authors examine major social programmes such as food stamps, primary and secondary education, post-secondary education, labour market training, childcare, healthcare, legal aid, low-income housing, long-term care and pensions.

Real-world business wisdom they don''t teach in design school.

In this suspense thriller, Craig Andrews survives a gut-wrenching divorce and begins a new life only to be targeted by a mass murderer. A hard-nosed detective is motivated to stop the killing spree and is closing in on the killer. Weeds in The Garden of Love is a gritty "slice-of-life" tale exposing dysfunctional people trying to ease their suffering through alcohol, illicit sex, and cold-blooded murder. It’s a story about more than winning and losing. It’s about survival.

American literature has become a vehicle for advancing social agendas, and the study of American literature has changed alongside American history, demonstrating a reciprocal relationship. This title asserts that American literature is a postcolonial literature and that the values inherent in American literature reflect mother culture, England.

THE LATEST EM TECHNIQUES FOR DETECTING CONCEALED TARGETS, WHETHER EXPLOSIVES, WEAPONS, OR PEOPLE Extensively illustrated from basic principles to system design, the fundamental concepts of RF, microwave, millimeter wave, and terahertz detection systems and techniques to find concealed targets are explained in this publication. These concealed targets may be explosive devices or weapons, which can be buried in the ground, concealed in building structures, hidden under clothing, or inside luggage. Concealed targets may also be people who are stowaways or victims of an avalanche or earthquake. Although much information is available in conference proceedings and professional society publications, this book brings all the relevant information in a single, expertly written and organized volume. Readers gain an understanding of the physics underlying electromagnetic (EM) detection methods, as well as the factors that affect the performance of EM detection equipment, helping them choose the right type of equipment and techniques to meet the demands of particular tasks. Among the topics covered are: Ultra-wideband radar and ground-penetrating radar Millimeter, sub-millimeter, and terahertz systems Radar systems including Doppler, harmonic, impulse, FMCW, and holographic Radiometric systems Nuclear quadrupole resonance systems Author David Daniels has many years of experience designing and deploying EM systems to detect concealed targets. As a result, this publication is essential for scientists and engineers who are developing or using EM equipment and techniques for a diverse range of purposes, including homeland security, crime prevention, or the detection of persons.

Throughout the centuries men and women have had to choose which way to go in their lives; "will I do it my way or will I do it God''s way." One of the greatest responsibilities in man''s and a woman''s life is to bring up their children in the Lord; and teach them to reverence the One True God, to believe and trust Him. The world also offers many ways to live life, to raise children and to prosper. This book is a not a book about my way; this book is a book about God''s way. To the best of my ability these chapters are right from God''s heart straight to his family. God is loving, tender, merciful and forgiving. He is gently calling everyone to his family. What is our response? Do we follow Him or do we go our own way? The choice is up to us. Keith Daniels is a father, a teacher and a Christian author. His major in college was history. He is a retired U.S. Navy veteran of the submarine service. He has spent over 30 years of his life doing biblical research including analyzing the historical background of the first century church. He spends most of the year in Rhode Island and the majority of his summers in Maine. He and his wife Diana have ten-year-old triplets; William, Stuart and Elena. He attends home bible fellowships, spends time as a workman of the word and shares what he learns. He prays daily both in the spirit and with his understanding also. The power of God is manifested in his life and in his service. His motto is "Trust God." If you have any questions about the contents of this book, you can contact him at kedtec@aol.com.

Drawing from the authors'' own work and from the most recent developments in the field, Missing Data in Longitudinal Studies: Strategies for Bayesian Modeling and Sensitivity Analysis describes a comprehensive Bayesian approach for drawing inference from incomplete data in longitudinal studies. To illustrate these methods, the authors employ

Worshipping the One True God Human nature has changed very little over the centuries. Overtime men have forsaken God''s ways and created their own ways to worship God. Instead of creating idols made by hands they create idols with their imaginations. Jesus Christ, in his time, was at constant loggerheads with the religious leaders of his time. Most of them thought that they had all the right answers. Most of them believed that they did not need Jesus'' ministry. He became a stumble stone and a rock of offense to them. Man''s way is never God''s way. God has desired a family who will listen to him, believe him and do his will. Each member of God''s family is important and has a special purpose in the body of Christ. Each member is endued with power from on high and can perform signs, miracles and wonders. While attending the University of Rhode Island in the middle 1970''s the author encountered a group of Christian students the introduced him to God''s Word. He took several biblical classes with this group. Over the following thirty-two years he has taken several more from various groups. He has run bible fellowships in his home over the years. He obtained his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of New York at Albany. He currently is a middle school teacher in Rhode Island. He and his wife, Diana, have nine-year old triplets and they run a family fellowship in their home. The author continues to study and is working on his second book, As for Me and My House, We Will Serve The Lord.

The sialoadenitis seen in Sjögren''s syndrome, an idiopathic, autoimmune exocrinopathy, is characterized by lymphocytic infiltration, acinar cell atrophy, and diminished salivary flow. Increased expressions of laminin, a laminin receptor, and cytokines are also noted. Several in vivo characteristics of the sialoadenitis are also evident in a cytokine-treated salivary gland ductal epithelial cell line. To elucidate mechanisms of salivary gland pathology, the effects of two cytokines, interferon gamma and tumor necrosis factor alpha, on cell proliferation and expressions of basement membrane proteins and alpha-3 integrin were evaluated in cultured salivary gland cells. In cytokine-treated cell monolayers, immunoprecipitation, immunoperoxidase, and Western Blot analysis demonstrated a moderate intracellular accumulation of an immature laminin product, but not fibronectin or collagen IV, concurrent with decreased cell proliferation. Results from RNase Protection assays suggested that the laminin accumulation was unlikely due to increased laminin beta chain gene expression. Furthermore, a significant reduction of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase expression was noted with prolonged cytokine treatment, suggesting metabolic defects. To explore the effects of cytokines on acinar cell pathology, cells were grown on Matrigel, where they formed acini with polarized nuclei. Cytokine treatment arrested cells in G1 phase of the cell cycle, as evaluated by flow cytometry, which preceded significant morphological changes and decreased viability. By immunoprecipitation, an altered form of alpha-3 integrin was evident in cultured acinar cells treated with cytokines for prolonged periods, but not in untreated cells. Cytoklines caused no significant changes in laminin expression in acinar cells. From this study, it was evident that the combination of interferon gamma and tumor necrosis factor alpha resulted in a block in G1 phase for acinar cells. This cell cycle arrest occurred prior to accumulation of the alpha-3 integrin variant or significant degenerative cellular changes. Information from the present and previous studies suggest that cytokines may alter adhesion and block cell cycle progression in acinar cells in Sjögren''s syndrome sialoadenitis. Further studies may help elucidate how these cytokine-mediated cellular changes contribute to acinar cell death.
