"An Examination into and Elucidation of the Great Principle of the Mediation and Atonement of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" is an important theological treatise written via John Taylor, the 0.33 president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). It examines the fundamental foundations of LDS theology. John Taylor''s paintings delves thoroughly into the idea of Jesus Christ''s mediation and atonement, that''s essential to the LDS Church''s teachings. He explores the essence of Christ''s function because the mediator between God and humanity, in addition to the idea of atonement, which argues that humanity can locate reconciliation with God via Christ''s struggling and sacrifice. Taylor''s writing is distinguished by means of its thoroughness and scriptural references, which he draws closely from the Bible and different LDS scriptures inclusive of the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants. In the context of Christ''s atonement, he tackles questions regarding the nature of God, the purpose of existence, and the function of company and loose will. The book serves as a theological guide for LDS Church individuals, offering a complete comprehension of their faith''s key principles. It also demonstrates John Taylor''s sizeable research and commitment to explaining and protecting Mormonism''s key teachings.

The book "The Government of God" become written by using John Taylor, a tremendous leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). This book provides an intensive examination of Taylor''s and different early Mormon leaders'' spiritual and political thoughts. In "The Government of God," John Taylor expresses the awesome Mormon point of view on authorities and society. He highlights the concept of authentic governance being founded on heavenly foundations and led through spiritual authority. Taylor and the early Mormons anticipated a theocratic society wherein civil law and spiritual philosophy have been inextricably connected. Taylor''s paintings explores the concept of the "Kingdom of God" and how it connects to church and state authorities. He argues for spiritual freedom and the separation of religion and nation, in addition to for a government that promotes ethical beliefs and concepts. Taylor defends the LDS Church''s ideas and practices at some point of the book, addressing conflicts and reviews skilled through Mormons on the time.

"Introduction: Iron deficiency (ID), measured as serum ferritin (SF), has been found in 31% and 57% of elite male and female athletes respectively. In distance runners, ID has been found to affect up to 41% of men and 82% of women. There are significant health consequences of ID such as decreased bone mineral density, altered thyroid function, immune suppression, and fatigue. Purpose: To determine if there is a relationship between ID and training reductions due to injury, illness, and fatigue in collegiate distance runners. Hypothesis: Because ID affects bone health, fatigue, thyroid, and immune function, it is hypothesized that distance runners with ID experience training reductions more frequently than athletes with normal SF levels. Methods: A preexisting data set consisting 47 NCAA Division 1 cross country runners'' (M=20 years +/- 1.69) SF, injury information, fatigue reports, and training volume was analyzed. SF levels were measured preceding the cross-country season in early September and following the season in early December. Athletes supplemented with ferrous sulfate elixir according to the SF level throughout the season. A generalized linear model investigated associations between training reduction, SF, and training volume. A chi-squared test compared ID athletes (=35 [mu]g/L) and athletes with normal SF (35 [mu]g/L). Significance was set at

"Well before the 1890 United States Census, Frederick Jackson Turner''s 1893 Frontier Thesis, and the subsequent movements toward extensive preservation and conservation projects, a largely unheralded federal legislative action, granting the Yosemite Valey and the adjacent Mariposa Big Tree Grove to the state of California to be preserved in perpetuity, was signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln in 1864. This was done in response to the fear that, in just a few years, profiteers would exploit and irrevocably destroy two areas of unique beauty and grandeur, as was done to Niagara Falls a decade and a half earlier. The act required California to appoint a commission to devise a plan of management for the land grant, and in 1865, the commission set to the task, headed by the internationally recognized landscape architect and co-creator of New York City''s Centra Park: Frederick Law Olmstead. The commissioned management proposal was eventually passed over for another plan and lost to history until 1952, but the document has proven to be remarkable in many ways. A recent critique of the historical significance of Frederick Law Olmstead''s "Yosemite and the Mariposa Grove: A Preliminary Report, 1865" has discounted it as being "elaborated to produce what can only be called an origin myth [of Yosemite and the national park idea]" and by conjecturing that Olmstead is honored as a father of environmental conservation "largely because his report was ignored." Throughout this paper, I will demonstrate that Olmstead''s report holds significant historical significance because it depicts the philosophical underpinnings of the national park idea and indavertently anticipates several key practices that subsequently evolved"--Page iii.

Poliheuristic (PH) decision making theory has been developed to bridge rational choice and cognitive based theories of foreign policy decision making. PH theory asserts that decisions are made in two stages. In the first stage, decision makers act based on simplified decision strategies, or cognitive heuristics which seek to constrain the decision alternatives. In the second stage, the decision maker weighs the alternatives and selects the one which maximizes utility, according to the rational actor framework. Using the case of the Keystone XL pipeline and President Barack Obama''s indecision on it, it is my aim to assess whether PH theory can explain Obama''s postponement of a decision on the pipeline and how interest groups effect decision making in the first stage of PH theory. I conclude that interest groups primarily influence PH decisions by making certain alternatives politically too costly, framing issues in certain ways, and by increasing the salience of an issue to both the public and the decision maker. In addition, I find that PH theory is able to explain Obama''s decision making on the Keystone XL issue.

Introduction: VO2max and blood lactate levels traditionally predict athletic performance. Training has the potential to enhance both measures and eventually performance; therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of a six week sub-elite endurance training (SEET) on VO2max, [BLa], [Hgb], and [Hct] within male and female collegiate long distance track athletes. Methods: Male ale and female long distance track runners (n = 11) ages 18 and 24 from Montana State University Billings (MSUB) participated in this study. At the beginning of the 2015 outdoor track season, athletes participated in two VO2max efforts (Bruce protocol) separated by a six week training period. Blood hemoglobin (Hgb), hematocrit (Hct), and resting blood lactate levels (BLa) were measured before the VO2max effort. At volitional fatigue, a post exercise, two min post exercise, and four min post exercise blood lactate measures were taken. All tests were conducted six weeks into the season. Athletes were also asked to record workouts in a training log. Results: Males'' VO2max did not significantly change between test 1 and test 2, t(5) = 0.7, p = 0.258. Females also did not significantly change between test 1 and test 2 in VO2max levels, t(4) = 0.1, p = 0.463. Males did show a significant increase in VO2max when compared to females for test 1, (M = 63.8, SD = 12.5), p = 0.003 (ES = 0.77) and Test 2 (M = 63.2, SD = 11.1), p = 0.0004 (ES = 0.85). Males showed a significant difference from test 1 to test 2 in the 2 min post exercise [BLa], t(5) = +3.38 , p = 0.009, (ES = 0.40). Females (similar to males) also demonstrated significance in the 2 minute post exercise [BLa] for test 1 to test 2, t(4) = +2.4, p = 0.037, (ES = 0.44). Overall females showed significantly lower [BLa] than males both in test 1 and in test 2. There was no significant difference between test 1 to test 2 for males or females for [Hgb] and [Hct]. Females did however show significantly lower levels between test 1, (M = 44.0, SD = 5.4) t(10) = +3.75, p = 0.019, (ES = 0.65) and Test 2 (M = 44.5, SD = 4.9) t(10) = +3.45, p = 0.007, (ES = 0.73) when compared to males. Discussion: Males had significantly higher VO2max levels than females, which was expected. Due to the decreased time on the treadmill, females exhibited significantly lower [BLa] than males. Males and females only showed significant differences from test 1 to test 2 in the 2 min. post exercise [BLa], suggesting training increased the athletes’ ability to recover from the effects of [BLa] and accumulation of H+ ions. When compared to males, females exhibited significantly lower [Hgb] and [Hct], which is in accordance with norms. Conclusion: Overall, females, as compared to males, showed significantly different VO2max and hematological levels. This was expected within the short training period. Different results could be possible with a longer training period, e.g. ten weeks. Coaches and runners are encouraged to monitor these objective measures (VO2max, BLa, Hgb and Hct) throughout the entire training season in order to monitor fitness and eventually develop individualized training strategies that can optimize the objective measures.

Oakland PD Officers Bull Brewster and Tex-Mex Garcia get the job done... ...but on their terms. Whether it''s a madcap chase with stolen cars or a night on the town with a pair of "working girls," the rogue officers never let threat of disciplinary action get in their way as they cement their reps as irreverent street cops-they just take their DAYS ON THE BEACH, and then get back to business. Brewster and Tex-Mex aren''t the only action on the mean streets of Oakland, however. The city is on edge as a sociopathic pair cuts a savage swath. Rape and murder cases stack up, but law enforcement''s frantic search is stymied until some good, old-fashioned gumshoe detective work leads to a high noon face-off. AUTHOR BIO:After thirty-one years of service, John Taylor retired from the Oakland Police Department in 2002 and now makes his home in a small town in Northern California.

Of all the ancient peoples, the Egyptians are perhaps best known for the fascinating ways in which they grappled with the mysteries of death and the afterlife. This beautifully illustrated book draws on the British Museum''s world-famous collection of mummies and other funerary evidence to offer an accessible account of Egyptian beliefs in an afterlife and examine the ways in which Egyptian society responded materially to the challenges these beliefs imposed. The author describes in detail the numerous provisions made for the dead and the intricate rituals carried out on their behalf. He considers embalming, coffins and sarcophagi, shabti figures, magic and ritual, and amulets and papyri, as well as the mummification of sacred animals, which were buried by the millions in vast labyrinthine catacombs. The text also reflects recent developments in the interpretation of Egyptian burial practices, and incorporates the results of much new scientific research. Newly acquired information derives from a range of sophisticated applications, such as the use of noninvasive imaging techniques to look inside the wrappings of a mummy, and the chemical analysis of materials used in the embalming process. Authoritative, concise, and lucidly written, Death and the Afterlife in Ancient Egypt illuminates aspects of this complex, vibrant culture that still perplex us more than 3,000 years later.

Asks why anyone would want to look at shocking photographs. The text questions what happens when the press uses gruesome images to represent accidents and disasters, murder and execution, grief and death. It examines how the press pictures the dead and injured bodies of foreigners, with particular reference to the special conditions of photographing the horror of wars in the Gulf, Bosnia and Rwanda. It argues that hard-hitting documentary photography contributes to public knowledge and helps to define the freedom of the press.

An introduction to the "cognitive paradigm" in linguistics. Cognitive linguistics is contrasted throughout with the assumptions of Chomskyan linguistics. With examples drawn mainly from English, the book explores the potential of the approach for the study of word meaning, syntax and phonology. :
