The other family members include Amanda\u27s sister Cornelia Estelle, an unidentifiable author and cousin Bob. Rebecca Avery notes how tired she is with her six student lodgers and two day boarders. “I hope you will catch a smart beau, for I want you all married.” Estelle (Stella) complains of a cough and wonders if it is consumption. Says she is tired looking after the boarders also. The unidentifiable writer notes that “poverty is a most niggardly rascally tormenting pestiferous scamp of a thing – that sticks tighter and bites harder than a thousand musketoes in a Mississippi swamp could possibly do.” Amanda Avery (1828-1916) was the daughter of Nathan Avery (1792-1846), a physician born in Lebanon, New York, who practiced in Bolivar and Memphis, and Rebecca Jones Rivers (1793-1847), whom he married in Montgomery County, Tennessee, in 1818. Their children included: William Thomas (1819-1880), Elizabeth Edmunds (1824-1916, who married Minor Meriwether), and Cornelia Estelle (1830-1919). Amanda married Nathaniel Macon Trezevant (1829-1912), a lawyer, in 1848.https://digitalcommons.memphis.edu/speccoll-mss-shelbycountytn2/1045/thumbnail.jp

Trace Mineral Intake and Deficiencies in Older Adults Living in the Community and Institutions: A Systematic Review
No full text© 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. The global population is ageing with many older adults suffering from age-related malnutrition, including micronutrient deficiencies. Adequate nutrient intake is vital to enable older adults to continue living independently and delay their institutionalisation, as well as to prevent deterioration of health status in those living in institutions. This systematic review investigated the insufficiency of trace minerals in older adults living independently and in institutions. We examined 28 studies following a cross-sectional or cohort design, including 7203 older adults (≥60) living independently in 13 Western countries and 2036 living in institutions in seven Western countries. The estimated average requirement (EAR) cut-off point method was used to calculate percentage insufficiency for eight trace minerals using extracted mean and standard deviation values. Zinc deficiency was observed in 31% of community-based women and 49% of men. This was higher for those in institutional care (50% and 66%, respectively). Selenium intakes were similarly compromised with deficiency in 49% women and 37% men in the community and 44% women and 27% men in institutions. We additionally found significant proportions of both populations showing insufficiency for iron, iodine and copper. This paper identifies consistent nutritional insufficiency for selenium, zinc, iodine and copper in older adults

Credibility of Christian Revelation in theological reflection of Avery Dulles
No full textAmerican theologian Avery Dulles applies models to show different aspects of God's selfcommunication. But all models of revelation he integrates by using the idea of the symbol of participation, which is the external reality by which God reveals Himself to people. According to Avery Dulles revelation is the activity of God who gives Himself to a man through revelatory symbols and communicates his divine truths in order to welcome people to eternal, redemptive union with Himself.
In a question related to a rational character of revelation he explains the issues such as the possibility, necessity and nature of verification of revelation by human mind. The American theologian maintains that it is possible that revelation may occur and that it is essential to human eternal salvation. The author also claims that human mind can recognize divine revelation which is the first condition to accept revelation in faith. He maintained, moreover, that we may reach moral certainty in theology, not certainty of evidence, and that divine grace completes the rest of our religious knowledge. The next part of this article shows traditional arguments for the rational character of Christian revelation. According to Avery Dulles the argument from resurrection is the most important among other classic arguments. American scholar gives also new arguments for a rational character of Christian revelation. The argument from the testimony of Christians’ lives is typical for Avery Dulles way of thinking. Finally, when we justify God’s revelation, we can accept it reasonably
