Bates Letter, 1902
No full textF. L. Bates was an author on the Lincoln assassination and a lawyer. He believed Booth escaped the Garrett Farm barn. In the bulk of this letter Bates explains, at least to his satisfaction, that he has a tintype of a man he believes to be Booth, which can prove his belief about Booth's escape to others.As a young man in Granbury, Texas, Bates met local barkeep John St. Helen, who claimed to be John Wilkes Booth, long a fugitive following his murder of Abraham Lincoln. Bates believed St. Helen's story. Years later when another would-be Booth, David George, committed suicide in Oklahoma, Bates viewed the body and decided it was that of his old acquaintance St. Helen. Bates acquired the corpse and for years he and his heirs exhibited the mummified remains throughout the South. Bates promoted his contention in "Escape and Suicide of John Wilkes Booth," published in 1907, which included a purported confession
Developments in silicon detectors and their impact on LHCb physics measurements
No full textThe LHCb experiment is a high energy physics detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which will probe the current understanding of the Standard Model through precise measurements of CP violation and rare decays. The LHCb detector heavily depends on the silicon vertexing (VELO) sub-detector for excellent vertex and proper decay time resolutions. The VELO detector sits at a position of only 7 mm from the LHC proton beams. However, the proximity of the silicon sensors to the proton beams results in the detectors suffering radiation damage. Radiation damage results in three changes in the macroscopic properties of the silicon detector: an increase of the leakage current, a decrease in the charge collection efficiency, and changes in the operation voltage required to fully deplete the silicon detector of the free charge carriers. Due to this radiation damage, it is expected that a replacement or upgrade of the LHCb vertex detector will be required by 2010, only 3 years after the turn-on of the LHC. This thesis investigates possible scenarios for the VELO upgrade in 2010. There are two properties through which LHCb could gain from an upgraded VELO: increased statistics, and an improved proper time resolution. Increased statistics could be achieved by an increase in luminosity. Since the radiation damage is primarily caused by the primary interactions, an increase in luminosity would require silicon with a greater radiation tolerance. This thesis investigates Czochralski grown silicon as a possible radiation hard silicon. A detailed characterization has been performed on Czochralski silicon, including the use of the Transient Current Technique. The type inversion point of Czochralski silicon was investigated and no type inversion was measured in Czochralski silicon. The first test beam with a Czochralski strip detector read out with LHC speed electronics was performed and yielded promising results for the future application of Czochralski silicon. An increase in proper time resolution and impact parameter resolution could be achieved through the reduction of material in the detector, or through positioning the silicon closer to the proton beams. Research into repositioning the VELO is presented in this thesis and includes an investigation of possible designs that would position the first active silicon strip closer to the LHC beam. This is achieved by a redesign of the VELO sensor geometry with a reduced active inner radius. Results are then presented on the impact of this VELO design on the physics reach of the experiment

Their personal brands, which are highly regarded around the world, are also some of the case studies in best-selling author Suzanne Bates’ most recent book, Discover Your CEO Brand.
Bates’ gripping third book shows that, just as every notable leader has had a distinctive path to success, you too will also have unique goals and dreams for your own personal brand. From leading CEOs to new entrepreneurs, Discover Your CEO Brand is relevant to any businessperson and has the potential to change the way that you see your personal brand.
Creating a personal brand is not just important to the upper echelons of the business world; branding yourself can also help your small business or enhance your experiences in community and personal interactions. Over 12 chapters, Bates takes an assortment of outstanding entrepreneurs from different backgrounds and companies and examines their accomplishments, as well offering some valuable tools for increasing the visibility of any brand.
One of the reasons that Discover Your CEO Brand is so valuable is that the information is current; Bates understands the changing dynamics of the business world.

John Bates Clark a jövedelemelosztást meghatározó természeti törvényekről = John Bates Clark on the netural laws determining the distribution of income
No full textA könyvben, melynek bevezetőjét és első fejezetét közöljük az alábbiakban, a szerző John
Bates Clark bizonyítani kívánja, hogy társadalomban a jövedelemeloszlást a természeti
törvények határozzák meg, amelyek a termelés különböző funkcióinak a teljes termékhez
való hozzájárulásán alapulnak a határelemzésnek megfelelően. Ezzel összefüggésben nagy
hangsúlyt fektet az igazságosság kérdésére a bérek mennyisége, a profitráta és a járadék
erkölcsi igazolhatóságának szempontjából. Ebben a tekintetben a bérek kialakulására fókuszál, mivel ez a központi kérdése azoknak a vitáknak, amelyek a kizsákmányolás létezéséről, illetve a szocializmusról, mint a kizsákmányolás lehetséges megoldásáról szólnak.

In the book the Introduction and the first chapter of which can be found below, the author
John Bates Clark intends to prove that the distribution of income in a society is determined
by natural laws, which are based on the contribution of the various functions of production to the total product in compliance with marginal analysis. In connection with this he
also places much emphasis upon the question of justice, on the problem as to whether the
magnitudes of wages, profits interests and rents are morally justifiable. In this context he
focuses on wage determination because this is the core issue of the debate on whether exploitation exists at all and, if it does, whether socialism could be a possible remedy for that

A: More and more people were coming in to Ooldea Waters until there were 30-40. Daisy Bates requests Mr Artlett to forbid the natives access to any water at the siding as they were stealing water and she wanted them to go further to get their water from the soak.
B: DMB requests that Mr Artlett obtain a “certificate” for her from the S.A. Government so that it would “lessen the strain on my purse” in the feeding and clothing of the people at the Siding.
DMB also suggests the steady evacuation of the Great Aboriginal Reserve so that it may be used as pastoral land. She estimates the numbers of native people in that area as being around 2000, wandering between Hermannsburg and east of the W.A. Goldfields, seeking a water supply at Ooldea and never returning to their ancestral lands.
C: DMB thanks Mr Artlett for presenting her with a handcart named Augusta, to be used for hauling water and supplies over the mile from siding to camp.
D: DMB requests Mr Artlett to ask someone to repair Augusta’s wheel as had been accidentally damaged when traversing a water pipe. She also mentions that she had a narrow escape from a fire and was building new break-winds in the very high summer temperatures.
E: DMB thanks her benefactor for the repairs to Augusta.
F: DMB writes that she enjoys the proximity to Fettler Pauncefort and his wife and that she will ask him to show her where to oil Augusta with the bicycle oil she has bought for the purpose. She mentions that she measured a fall close to 2” of rain on 6 February
Weaving the threads of knowledge: A focus on students
No full textThis research paper will address the process of learning in a cooperative education program from the students' perspective. Each author will consider the student's point of view from a different position. The paper builds a combined picture of the student's understanding of the placement using a constructivist interpretive methodology that concentrates on verbatim accounts of students' responses as the placement proceeds. Annerley, who has recently graduated as a social worker, will comment on the interpretations she placed on the practicum experience she had herself during her degree program. She will go on to outline her subsequent honours research into the perspectives of other students completing field placements. The importance of the student's contribution to the student/supervisor relationship will be emphasised by Lyndel, a senior researcher for the Queensland Parliament, who has recently supervised students herself in a demanding workplace. She will give her perspective on the student's need for supervision and direction. Merrelyn, as the convenor of the work placement program conducted by Griffith University's School of Criminology and Criminal Justice for degree level students, will discuss her current research into what the university is able to do about how the students learn and what they learn through the placement experience. The paper will conclude with some important suggestions about innovations that the authors believe should be introduced into the culture of cooperative education in the future if it is to achieve its stated goals.No Full Tex
