Dispatch, Smith and Jewell Counties
No full textHocking, Jillian, “Dispatch, Smith and Jewell Counties,” Chapman Center Research Collections, https://ccrsresearchcollections.omeka.net/items/show/5.Located on the border of both Smith and Jewell Counties, tiny Dispatch was founded by the Dutch Reformed Church. When the church split along doctrinal lines, two cemeteries evolved for two different church populations. The main church was founded in 1871; the split occurred in 1872. The landscape of this area still reveals its early history. The bleak, flat prairies stretching around a large church and its two graveyards tell a tale of dissent and survival. The author, connected through family to these Dutch settlers, provides photographs and stories
Habitat for Humanity of Hocking County Ohio : creation of a community based organization
No full textThe Islamic Micro Enterprise Collective was initiated to develop a strategy to educate (what is it), motivate (get involved), train (learn how) and deploy (put into action) men, women and youth in the art and sciences of social economic development from an Islamic prospective. I wanted to develop an economic strategy that addressed the social economic issues relevant to the African American Muslim Community specifically, and the General Muslim Community at large.

Hocking County 4-H Club 4th H for Health Challenge
No full textThe 2016 4-H Healthy Living Club Practices Assessment was completed by organizational 4-H advisors from 24 4-H clubs in Hocking County. Results showed that the foods served most often at club meetings were: chips – 85 percent, baked snacks – 75 percent; and pizza – 75 percent. Water was the most often-served beverage at 100 percent, although other beverages were also offered. Fruit-flavored drinks (e.g. Kool Aid) scored 79 percent; pop received 74 percent; and artificially sweetened fruit juice was 72 percent. Eight of the 24 clubs (33.3 percent) "always" allotted time for regular physical activity. However the majority (54 percent) did "sometimes," and 12.5 percent "rarely or never" did physical activity. The 4th H for Health 4-H Club Challenge was a tool used to make healthy habits the norm during 4-H club meetings. The overall long-term goal of this project was to improve the health of youth. Short-term goals for 4-H clubs were to: increase awareness of healthy snack choices; provide fruits or vegetables as 4-H club snacks and water as the primary beverage; and to participate in physical activity. The Hocking County 4th H for Health 4-H Club Challenge was adapted from the 4th H for Health Challenge developed by Tufts University in partnership with the 4-H Healthy Living Management Team. The challenge was to serve a fruit or vegetable snack at three meetings; serve water as the primary beverage at six meetings; and do 15 minutes of physical activity at all of the club's meetings. Although all clubs were encouraged to partake, participating in the challenge was optional. The largest hurdle to overcome with the 4-H Club Health Challenge was the volunteers' perspective of what children will eat. Several volunteers commented about how surprised they were to see how well their members ate fruits and vegetables. Nine 4-H clubs submitted the 4th H for Health Challenge Tracker at the end of the year. A 4th H for Health Challenge Celebration was held on October 15, 2017 at Camp Otterbein as a reward for clubs that successfully completed the challenge. Each 4-H member and volunteer was given the opportunity to climb a 30-foot rock wall or go ziplining at Camp Otterbein. The 4-H junior leaders led field games, and a gau gau pit was available. A fun time was had by all.AUTHOR AFFILIATION: Joyce Shriner, Educator, 4-H Youth Development/County Director, The Ohio State University Extension, Hocking County, [email protected] (Corresponding Author).Results of the 2016 4-H Healthy Living Club Practices Assessment completed by 4-H club advisors in Hocking County showed a need to focus on the 4th H in 4-H, which is health. As a result, the Hocking County 4th H for Health 4-H Club Challenge was adapted from the 4th H for Health Challenge developed by Tufts University in partnership with the 4-H Healthy Living management team and used as a tool to challenge 4-H clubs to make healthy habits the new norm during meetings. The challenge was to serve a fruit or vegetable snack at three meetings, serve water as the primary beverage at six meetings, and do 15 minutes of physical activity at all of the club's meetings. Although all clubs were encouraged to take the challenge, participation was optional. Nine 4-H clubs submitted the 4th H for Health Challenge tracker at the end of the year. A 4th H for Health Challenge celebration was held on in October 2017 at Camp Otterbein as a reward for clubs who completed the challenge
A genetic variation map for chicken with 2.8 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms
No full textWe describe a genetic variation map for the chicken genome containing 2.8 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This map is based on a comparison of the sequences of three domestic chicken breeds (a broiler, a layer and a Chinese silkie) with that of their wild ancestor, red jungle fowl. Subsequent experiments indicate that at least 90% of the variant sites are true SNPs, and at least 70% are common SNPs that segregate in many domestic breeds. Mean nucleotide diversity is about five SNPs per kilobase for almost every possible comparison between red jungle fowl and domestic lines, between two different domestic lines, and within domestic lines--in contrast to the notion that domestic animals are highly inbred relative to their wild ancestors. In fact, most of the SNPs originated before domestication, and there is little evidence of selective sweeps for adaptive alleles on length scales greater than 100 kilobases
VIBRATIONAL SPECTRUM, FORCE FIELD, AND TORSIONAL POTENTIAL FUNCTION OF MONOTHIOFORMIC ACID
No full textW. H. Hocking and G. Winnewisser, 2. Naturforsch. 32a, 1108-1118 (1977).Author Institution:In the infrared spectrum of the isotopic species and HCOSD most of the fundamental vibrations have been identified for both the cis and trans rotamers. Force field calculations were carried out using as supplementary data the centrifugal distortion constants of the above five isotopic species as well as . From the torsional fundamental vibration of the two rotamers and the energy interval between the ground states of the two rotamers, from microwave relative intensity the torsional barrier has been found to be kJ/mol
Placing Indigenous Rights to Self-Determination in an Ecological Context
No full textIn this paper the author focuses on Australian land management and in particular on the environmental management issues that could have been prompted by the High Court recognition in 1996 (in Wik Peoples v. The State of Queensland) that native title to land and pastoral leaseholdings can co-exist. Drawing on themes of self-determination and co-existence, the paper looks at more specific topics such as aboriginal title to land—what has been called land rights or native title in Australia—and some implications of that for land, sea and resource management. Central to this analysis are competing theories of Aboriginal land management and links between Aboriginal traditional knowledge and conservation of species. These are illustrated through the marine mammal, the dugong. The Australian debates lead to the Canadian debates and then to Scandinavia and the role of the Sami people in protection and management of the Arctic region. Issues of indigenous self determination inevitably provide an overall theme to these discussions. As a matter of global concern, the paper asks, but does not decide, whether indigenous peoples may manage fragile eco-systems more effectively than outsiders. It maintains that what is important in this context is a broader question. This concerns how culturally inclusive land and resource management can emerge from recognition of indigenous land and human rights and how comparative developments can provide crucial cross-jurisdictional information for future developments and opportunities in the interests of environmental conservation
Creativity in the thought of William Ernest Hocking and Henry Nelson Wieman
No full textThesis (Ph.D.)--Boston UniversityPLEASE NOTE: Boston University Libraries did not receive an Authorization To Manage form for this thesis or dissertation. It is therefore not openly accessible, though it may be available by request. If you are the author or principal advisor of this work and would like to request open access for it, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you.Metaphysical creativity and religious creativity are two closely related problems in the thought of William Ernest Hocking and Henry Nelson Wieman. For Hocking "creativity is the criterion of reality," and the Real is the independent being. For him metaphysical creativity is the bringing into being of something other than its own ideas by an Absolute Mind. The choice by the Absolute Mind of this particular world is the creation by that Mind of its own Body. This choice expressed in its exercise of will in accord with its purpose accounts for the arrival of inorganic matter, organisms, and human selves. The execution of this choice explains the original and continual dependence of the physical world in its givenness, lawfulness, and publicity. Originally the Absolute Self creates the possibilities of many different physical worlds, chooses one of them in accord with His purpose, and executes His choice of this particular world through an expression of will. Continually the purposive character of this choice and expression is evident in the givenness, lawfulness, and publicity of physical nature as a whole, and the passages within nature from inorganic matter to organisms and from organisms to human selves [TRUNCATED].2999-01-0
