MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.’S STRUGGLE FOR EQUALITY FOR BLACK PEOPLE IN AMERICA
No full textThis research is about “Martin Luther King Jr.’s Struggle for
Equality for Black People in America”. This library research thesis is based
on historical and biographical approach. The purpose of this research is to
find out how Martin Luther King Jr. struggled for equality in America
especially for the black people.
Historical approach is used to view the historical background of the
black people in America from the first settlement and first slave trade to the
slave abolishment until in the middle of 20th
Century. Biographical approach,
however, is used in this thesis to view the struggle conducted by Martin
Luther King Jr. in order to fight for the civil rights.
After analyzing the background of the black people, the writer found out
that the reason Martin Luther King Jr. fought for civil rights was because of
the law that was not run in practice in America, even though black people are
guaranteed by the law.
Martin Luther King, Jr. made a significant change to America
especially for the black people. Even though issues of racism are still found
these days in America, generally the life of the black people in America
developed to a good improvement in economy as well as in politics
EXPERIENTIAL MEANING BREADTH AND GRAMMATICAL COMPLEXITY REALIZATION VARIATIONS OF W. SHAKESPEARE’S KING LEAR AND J. CROWTHER’S KING LEAR
No full textThis research is aimed to analyze experiential meaning breadth and
grammatical complexity realization variations of W. Shakespeare’s King Lear and J.
Crowther’s King Lear. This research tries to answer three questions. The first is how
the experiential meaning breadth and grammatical complexity realization variations are
represented in W. Shakespeare’s King Lear and its translation J. Crowther’s King Lear.
The second is what contextual factors motivate the occurrence of the experiential
meaning breadth and grammatical complexity realization variations in question. The
third is what contextual effects resulted from the experiential meaning breadth and
grammatical complexity realization variations in translation context.
This research applied the descriptive qualitative method with the quantitative
data to strengthen the findings. In conducting this research, the data were analyzed
through some steps: reading the ST and the TT of the data, writing all clauses from
both SE and TE in the data sheet, classifying and analyzing the data using experiential
meaning breadth and grammatical complexity realization variation analysis based on
the given parameter, and recapping the data on a table, describing the data in the table
into words, analyzing field, tenor and mode of the texts to find out the motivating
factors, and analyzing the motivating factors to find out the textual and contextual
effects on the texts.
The findings show that the average number of experiential meaning breadth
variation which is placed in level “2” or “low” level and it is shown by the number of
12.18. Meanwhile, the average number of grammatical complexity realization variation
is placed in level “1” or “very low” level and it is shown by the number of 9. Those
low and very low variations show that the translation has achieved a high level of
equivalence in meaning and realization variations, or this translation is translationally
appropriate. Those variations are motivated by many factors. First, the intra-textual
contexts, they are diction, contracted and archaic words, different spelling words,
omission, grammatical principles, and paraphrase. Second, there are also many inter-
textual motivating factors, i.e. inter-related text and situation value (field, tenor, and
mode). Finally, the contextual effects which are caused by motivating factors are the
readability effects towards the target readers of the two texts, in which the target text
follows the grammatical rule of the present time and the purpose of creating the texts
which is to entertain

Beloved Community: Martin Luther King, Howard Thurman, and Josiah Royce
No full textMartin Luther Kings primary emphasis was upon beloved community, a phrase he borrowed from Royce, but an idea that he shared with St. Augustine. Theories of the state tend to focus upon division, in which one stratum dominates another or others. Kings context is the US in the segregated Southa region whose internal divisions sharply instantiate the idea of the state as an unequal hierarchy of dominance. Kings appeal was less to end black subjugation than to end subjugation as such. Hence King was called by some a dreamer, given his background commitment to equality and community, ideals taking marginal precedence over his foreground commitment to liberty and autonomy. This article explores the notion of beloved community broadly and then specifically in Martin Luther King along with related notions in Howard Thurman (1900-1981) and in Josiah Royce (1855-1916). KEYWORDS: Martin Luther King, Howard Thurman, Josiah Royce, Beloved Community, Equality, Desegregation, African American Studies, Arts and Humanities, Christianity, Philosophy, Religio

No full textAn article on well-known author Stephen King and his wife, author Tabitha King, native Mainers who live in Bangor and focus their low-profile philanthropy locally. Their many beneficiaries include Eastern Maine Medical Center, the Bangor and Old Town libraries, Bangor\u27s new Shawn T. Mansfield Baseball Stadium, area swimming pools, and the University of Maine, where both attended college. They have bought a local radio station to preserve local high-school and college sports coverage. Though wealthy enough to live anywhere, and despite King\u27s fame, they have chosen to raise their family in Bangor and live as regular members of the community. Headquarters for King\u27s fans is Betts Bookstore on Main Street

No full text# TOPMed Analysis Pipeline — WDL Version
[](https://github.com/openwdl/wdl/blob/main/versions/1.0/SPEC.md)
This is a work-in-progress project to implement some components of the University of Washington [TOPMed pipeline](https://github.com/UW-GAC/analysis_pipeline) into Workflow Description Lauange (WDL) in a way that closely mimics [the CWL version of the UW Pipeline](https://github.com/UW-GAC/analysis_pipeline_cwl). In other words, this is a WDL that mimics a CWL that mimics a Python pipeline. All three pipelines use the same underlying R scripts which do most of the heavy lifting, making their results directly comparable.
## Features
* This pipeline is very similiar to the CWL version, and while the main differences between the two [are documented](https://github.com/DataBiosphere/analysis_pipeline_WDL/blob/main/_documentation_/for%20users/cwl-vs-wdl-user.md), testing indicates they are functionally equivalent -- so much so that files generated by the CWL are used as truth files for the WDL
* As it works in a Docker container, it does not have any external dependencies other than the usual setup required for [WDL](https://software.broadinstitute.org/wdl/documentation/quickstart) and [Cromwell](http://cromwell.readthedocs.io/en/develop/)
* Contains a checker workflow for validating a set of known inputs and expected outputs
## Usage
Example files are provided in `test-data-and-truths` and in `gs://topmed_workflow_testing/UWGAC_WDL/`.
The original pipeline had arguments relating to runtime such as `ncores` and `cluster_type` that do not apply to WDL. Please familarize yourself with the [runtime attributes of WDL](https://cromwell.readthedocs.io/en/stable/RuntimeAttributes/) if you are unsure how your settings may transfer.
### Terra users
For Terra users, it is recommended to import via Dockstore. Importing the correct JSON file for your workflow at the workflow field entry page will fill in test data and recommended runtime attributes for said test data. For example, load `vcf-to-gds-terra.json` for `vcf-to-gds.wfl`. If you are using your own data, please be sure to increase your runtime attributes appropriately.
### Local users
Cromwell does not manage resources well on local executions -- parameters such as `memory` and `disks` get ignored when Cromwell detects it is not running on the cloud. As a result, these pipelines (LD pruning especially) may get their processes killed by your OS for hogging too much memory, or completely lock up Docker, even on a relatively powerful machine running on downsampled test data. That being said, preliminary testing of these pipelines is performed on a local machine running OSX Catalina, so while we cannot officially support this method of execution, the only thing really blocking it from running smoothly on a local machine is Cromwell's resource management and the power needed by some of these algorithms. These issues can *generally* be avoided by changing the concurrent job limit in your Cromwell configuration. [See instructions here](https://docs.dockstore.org/en/develop/getting-started/getting-started-with-wdl.html) for how to set it in the Dockstore CLI.
