'You must excuse me, good mistress,' says I, 'but I have no more meal in the house. Those thirteen measures which you see there empty were full this morning, for what was in them I have given away to unfortunates. So the Virgin and Child help you.' 'Do you choose to give me an alms?' she shrieked, so that you might have heard her to Londonderry. 'If ye have no meal give me something else.' 'You must excuse me, good lady,' says I: 'it is my custom to give alms in meal, and in nothing else. I have none in the house now; but if ye come on the morrow ye shall have a triple measure. In the meanwhile may the Virgin, Child, and the Holy Trinity assist ye!' Thereupon she looked at me fixedly for a moment, and then said, not in a loud voice, but in a low, half-whispered way, which was ten times more deadly: " 'Biaidh an taifrionn gan. sholas duit a bhean shalach!' Then turning from the door she went away with long strides, Now, honey, can ye tell me the meaning of those words?" "They mean," said I, "unless I am much mistaken: 'May the Mass never comfort ye, you dirty quean!' " "Ochone! that's the meaning of them, sure enough. They are _cramped_ words, but I guessed that was the meaning, or something of the kind. Well, after hearing the evil prayer, I sat for a minute or two quite stunned; at length recovering myself a bit I said to the colleen: 'Get up, and run afer the woman and tell her to come back and cross the prayer.' I meant by crossing that she should call it back or do something that wouldPRINTED ITEM DNE Sup G. M. Story OCT. 16 1987 [check] WKDNE headnote cites EDD, which has Scottish & English evidence.

Dynamics of Network Formation Processes in the Co-Author Model
No full textThis article studies the dynamics in the formation processes of a mutual consent network in game theory setting: the Co-Author Model. In this article, a limited observation is applied and analytical results are derived. Then, 2 parameters are varied: the number of individuals in the network and the initial probability of the links in the network in its initial state. A simulation result shows a finding that is consistent with an analytical result for a state of equilibrium while it also shows different possible equilibria.Dynamics, Network, Game Theory, Model,Simulation, Equilibrium, Complexity
Sex in the mediaan influence on adolescent development
No full textPlan BThe purpose of this study was to identify the prevalence of sex in the television media that adolescents watch and the magazine media targeted at adolescent females. The study was conducted by researcher observation and categorical tallying of sex related instances on various prime time television shows and commercials and in four major magazines. The television shows chosen for analysis were determined by media ratings reports indicating they are popular among adolescents. Targeted audience determined the magazines chosen for analysis. The analysis of the television shows and magazines occurred from January 2002 through April 2002. The adolescent life stage was chosen for analysis because it is a time when individuals are developing their gender identities and sexual attitudes (Durham, 1998). Media can play a large role in this development as a source of information and modeling (Committee of Public Education, 2001; Ward, 1995). Previous research shows that there is a substantial amount of sex and sex related references in the media (Kunkel, Cope, and Biely, 1999). This investigation aimed to identify the sexual content of media specifically targeted for or consumed by adolescents. Upon review of 17 television shows and four magazines, this research found evidence supporting much of the literature. There were many sex related themes on both television and in the magazines. Some of the prominent themes included sexual objectification, sex as competition, and a lack of reference to protection from sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy. The research concludes with recommendations for how to combat the sexual influence of the medi
