No full textINTRODUCTION|Does the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 allow a debtor to buy Chapter 13's benefits by paying unsecured creditors little or nothing, if unsecured creditors would receive no more in a Chapter 73 liquidation? The Eighth Circuit suggests a negative answer in In re Estus, holding that a Chapter 13 plan meeting the express statutory minimum payments to secured, priority and unsecured claims is not necessarily entitled to confirmation. In the court's view, Chapter 13's requirement that the plan be "proposed in good faith" mandates a broad inquiry into such factors as the debtor's ability to pay, need for Chapter 13's benefits, and "sincerity," as well as the burden the plan would place on the trustee. |The decision implies that Chapter 13's "good faith" standard requires an effort to pay more than liquidation amounts to unsecured creditors, and that the required effort increases in proportion to the debtor's use of Chapter 13's broad discharge and other benefits. In essence, good faith is used in Estus as a mandate for...1982-1983841161
Crossing Borders in Birthing Practices: A Hmong Village in Northern Thailand (1987-2013)
No full textBackground: Over the past several decades in Northern Thailand, there has been a contest of authoritative knowledge between the Hmong traditional birth system and the Thai biomedical maternity system. In this paper, we explore the contest in one Hmong village by describing the traditional and biomedical practices; families’ birth location choices; and elements of authoritative knowledge. Methods: We built on a village survey and conducted an ethnographic qualitative case study of 16 families who made different pregnancy care choices. Results: The contest is being won by the Thai biomedical system, as most families deliver at the hospital. These families choose hospital births when they evaluate problems or potential problems; they have more confidence in the superior Thai biomedical system with its technology and medicines than in the inadequate Hmong traditional system. But the contest is
ongoing, as some families prefer to birth at home. These families choose home births when they want a supportive home environment; they embrace traditional Hmong birth knowledge and practices as superior and reject hospital birth practices as unnecessary, harmful, abusive, and inadequate. Despite their choice for any given pregnancy, the case study families feel the pull of the other choice: hospital birth families lament loss of the home environment and express their dislike of hospital
practices; and home birth families feel the anxiety of potentially needing quick obstetrical assistance that is far away. Conclusion: While most families choose to participate in the Thai biomedical system, they also use Hmong pregnancy and postpartum practices, and some families choose home births. In this village, the contest for the supremacy of authoritative birth knowledge is ongoing

Hitler and Stalin fit Habbakuk's complaint, "Shall he, then, keep on brandishing his sword to slay peoples without mercy?" It took years, but the Allies won the war and still more years later, Stalin's legacy of communism, like its symbol the Berlin Wall, was shattered. While some reviled God for not working faster, others knew that "the vision still has its time." They not only waited, but worked while they waited, to make visions of peace and justice come true. Through these faith-filled people, God's promise was fulfilled; they did the impossible.|Recently, a much smaller matter showed me the faith and patience I lack. My mother had surgery on her eye socket. The surgeon removed a growth, found it nonmalignant, and called the operation a success.|A few days later, though, when the anesthetic and bandages were gone, my mother could not raise her eyelid. Her "good eye" was useless.|Mother and I reacted quite differently. I worried myself into believing that her eyelid would forever be stuck shut. I spent hours trying to think how doctors could work around such paralysis, and how my mother could live with near blindness. I was angry with the surgeon and with God.|But Mother had "faith the size of the mustard seed." She decided that with God's help, her eye would work again. She sat in her chair, prayed, and kept trying to move those muscles. Nothing happened for some days, but she kept on. Finally, there was a flutter and she saw light. Now, each day she can raise it higher, and we all expect a full recovery.|A small matter...just one person, just one eye, just a few days. But for me, a clear demonstration of patience and faith
Woody Abstracted: Film Experiments in the Cartoons of Shamus Culhane
No full text In his autobiography, animator Shamus Culhane describes the mid-1940s as a period of artistic awakening for him, when he engaged with the works of film theorists such as Russian Formalists Sergei Eisenstein and Vsevolod Pudovkin.Working at that point as a director at the Walter Lantz studio, he resolved to put theory to practice and began experimenting within the Lantz cartoons, taking liberties with approved storyboards to apply modern techniques.Working largely on such commercial fare as Woody Woodpecker cartoons, Culhane had little latitude to create anything that was avant-garde, so he employed a hit-and-run approach, offering moments of musical and filmic experimentation.Although the Woody cartoons might seem an unlikely vehicle for this, this article reveals how the wild and zany Woodpecker characterization provided a fairly ideal opportunity for Culhane’s modernist mischief to blend in with the frenetic vigor of these short films. </jats:p

No full textINTRODUCTION|In 1979, the Unicameral significantly limited the default remedies for loans under Nebraska's Installment Loan Act (the ILA), a usury statute allowing up to 24% interest on personal loans of $7000 or less. Although the ILA was intended to apply only to licensed small loan companies, the National Bank Act of 1864 and the Depositary Institutions Deregulation Act of 1980 preempt that limitation. These two federal statutes may be interpreted to give banks, savings and loans, and credit unions the right to make loans at the ILA rates. When these lenders make loans at the high ILA interest rates, the policy of competitive equality underlying federal lending law subjects them, like small loan companies, to the new ILA default rules. The federal statutes in this way give the ILA amendments broader scope than the Unicameral anticipated. The ILA amendments affecting formal collection practices on secured credit are drawn mainly from another consumer protection statute, the Uniform Consumer Credit Code (the UCCC). The ILA, like the UCCC, defines default by statute and not by contract, forbids the creditor to accelerate the debt or repossess the collateral until a payment is at least 30 days overdue...1980-19811141

Abstract
PROBLEM: To determine the best method to detect semen in human vaginal secretions.
METHOD OF STUDY: Vaginal secretions from 302 pregnant women at mean 11.8 weeks' gestation were analyzed. Semen detection was assessed with: (i) measurement of total prostate-specific antigen (PSA), (ii) acid phosphatase activity, (iii) microscopic measurement of spermatozoa on Gram stain, and (iv) self-reported sexual intercourse in the past 2 days. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated for each technique in comparison with PSA levels.
RESULTS: A total of 119 (39.4%) women had a detectable PSA. Compared with measurable PSA, the sensitivity and specificity for other methods were: acid phosphatase (26.9%, 98.4%), Gram stain (36.1%, 98.4%), and self-report of intercourse in the past 48 hr (41.9%, 88.8%).
CONCLUSION: Compared with PSA levels, commonly used assays for recent semen exposure are inaccurate. This inaccuracy may affect the results of studies, which measure vaginal immune factors like cytokines or retrieve DNA from vaginal specimens

No full textINTRODUCTION|One hundred and six years ago, the United States Supreme Court wrote that grain warehouses stand "at the very gateway of commerce to take toll from all who pass," and that the warehouses "must submit to be controlled by the public for the common good." Since those words were written, both state and federal governments have regulated the grain warehousing industry, requiring licenses and periodic inspection to prevent abuses such as conversion of stored grain by warehousemen. Warehouse regulatory statutes typically provide that when preventive measures fail, storers have access not only to any remaining grain but also to a bond before they must stand in line with other unsecured creditors for the remaining warehouse assets. |These regulations and bonds may have lulled producers dealing with the country's 10,000 grain warehouses into the erroneous belief that grain or credit "in the bin" is as safe as money in an insured bank. However, recent well-publicized grain warehouse insolvencies have shown there is a wide gulf between the protection afforded insured bank deposits and that given grain deposits....1983-1984699171
