Down's Syndrome: The experiences of adolescents and emerging adults with Down's Syndrome and their siblings.
No full textThe systematic review explores the lived experiences of Adolescents and Emerging Adults with a diagnosis of Down’s Syndrome (AEDS). Following completion of a systematic search, 20 papers were identified, and relevant qualitative data was extracted. A thematic synthesis was conducted, and four analytical themes emerged ‘Belonging’; ‘Self-Concept’; ‘Interdependence’; ‘Contemplating the future’. The themes are discussed in relation to existing literature and theory. In addition, the review highlights important implications pertaining to the lives of AEDS including promoting belonging within one’s local community as well as enhancing understanding and awareness of Down’s Syndrome (DS) in society.The empirical project qualitatively explores the experiences of individuals who have a sibling diagnosed with Down’s Syndrome from Racially or Ethnically Minoritised (REM) communities. Interviews were completed with eight participants. Through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), four Group Experiential Themes (GETs) were identified ‘Relationships and Connections’; ‘Understanding’; ‘Day-to-Day Life’; ‘Responsibilities’. In addition, narratives around ethnicity and culture were highlighted within the themes. The research emphasises clinical implications around supporting individuals who have a sibling diagnosed with DS (ISDS) including the need for sibling groups and therapeutic interventions, and that representation from a range of ethnic backgrounds is considered
The Lion and the Mouse: An Aesop Fable Retold and Illustrated by Bernadette Watts
No full textHere is an extra copy of this book. ©2000 by Nord-Süd Verlag AG, Gossau Zürich, and first published in Switzerland under the title Der Löwe und die Maus. This lovely oversized edition starts in a new way: a playful lion cub is awakened by a mouse scampering across his paw. Making the lion young allows, I think, for a different understanding of his boast that a mouse cannot help a lion. Though the art is still done for children, Watts creates one of the most realistic nets I have seen for the lion, who roars day and night. None of the animals can help him. Watts pays special attention to the surrounding creatures, including colorful snakes and birds. My favorites are the curious and attentive mongooses.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)First editionFirst printingRetold and Illustrated by Bernadette Watt

G. F. Watts
No full textG. F. Watts was one of the major artistic figures of the nineteenth century. In this work published in 1905, only a year after Watts' death, Emilie Barrington (1841–1933) reflects on the close friendship she and her husband had with the renowned artist. Her aim in writing her volume of reminiscences was to accurately record her knowledge of Watts' life. She describes her first impressions, when she first met him in Dante Gabriel Rossetti's studio. Chapters also cover Watts' aims as an artist, his relationships and his genius. This fascinating book is highly illustrated throughout, including Watts' sketches, symbolical paintings and portraits. The reader will gain an intriguing insight into the life and work of this complex character, widely considered to be the greatest painter of the Victorian age.

The Unreliable Narrator of Job
No full textThis essay by James W. Watts provides analysis on the book of Job, questioning previous interpretations of its narrative. Watts also compares the book of Job\u27s narrative style to that of modern and historical authors. Watts argues that the author of the book of Job employed an unreliable narrator in the form of an omniscient charatcer, which attacked literative conventions of the time, but ultimately proved difficult for readers to understand

Crawleys Creek NSW 58.08093N 557 43253E J & R Miller 22.6.97”, “ Holotype Carabhydrus janmillerae sp. n. Hendrich & Watts des. 2008” [red printed label] (SAMA). Paratypes: 1 male with same data as holotype (SAMA); 6 exs., “Headwaters Nullica riv NSW.58 93105N 557 48087E J&R Miller 24.6.97.” (CLH, SAMA). All paratypes are provided with a red printed paratype label. Description: Measurements: Holotype: TL = 2.5 mm, TL-H = 2.25 mm, MW = 1.15 mm. Paratypes: TL = 2.4–2.5 mm, TL-H = 2.15–2.25 mm, MW = 1.05–1.15 mm. Color: Dorsal side testaceous brown to almost dark brown, ventral surface of head and thorax, and basal and apical margins of sterna 4–6, blackish (Fig. 8). Antennae and palpi pale yellowish brown, without infuscation. Legs completely brown. Sculpture: Head anterior to dorsal impression with deep punctures separated by a distance about one and a half their own diameter, and a very few sparse, minute punctures; interspaces smooth and shiny without microreticulation except frontal foveae coarsely reticulate and anterior margin of clypeus with transverse lines; head posterior to transverse impression with coarse punctures medially and laterally posteriad to eyes, remainder of space impunctate but with reticulate sculpture. Pronotum with coarse and deep punctures separated by a distance about twice their own diameter; disc anterolaterally at base of front angle rugose with several coarse setiferous punctures; microreticulation absent. Elytron with punctation similar to that of pronotum but more dense, at least basally; interspaces smooth medially in male and with evident microreticulation in female; epipleuron with dense, more or less contiguous punctures. Ventral surface with punctures similar in size than those of dorsal surface, denser and more irregular with surfaces of sclerites irregularly rugose; punctures of metacoxal plate, metasternum medially and metacoxa between metacoxal lines and sterna 1 and 2 evidently larger than those elsewhere on ventral surface; sparsely and finely punctate. Legs with femora, tibiae, and dorsal surface of metatarsomeres 1–3 strongly punctate. Basal half of abdominal segments 2–4 strongly reticulated medially. Structure: Head broad, with very small reduced eyes, lateral margins of clypeus somewhat produced laterally above base of antenna; frontal fovea distinct, ovate; dorsal surface with a strong transverse impression between posterior margins of small eyes; ventral surface lacking a crease behind eye; maxillary and labial palpi each with apical palpomere fusiform. Pronotum in dorsal aspect slightly cordiform with point of maximum width at about half of length, lateral margin in dorsal aspect more or less evenly rounded except shortly sinuate before obtuse posterolateral angle; disc with a pair of longitudinal impressions, each extending from convex mediolateral portion of disc almost to hind margin and strongly limited on outer side by a more or less carinate ridge, mesal margin less distinct; most specimens with one to several additional shorter and more irregular rugae or impressions as well as elongate punctures along basal margin adjacent to the major impressions. Scutellum visible, but very short and broad. Elytra together elongate-oval with point of maximum width near middle, sides converging basally; disc of each elytron with a medial and a sublateral, broad, longitudinal groove each bearing a row of serial punctures, and a less evidently defined lateral groove adjacent to lateral margin; mesal groove beginning approximately opposite basolateral impression of pronotum, sharply defined on basal two-thirds, becoming shallower apically where on some specimens it is evident only as a series of more or less contiguous broad punctures which become obsolete shortly before apex; sublateral groove starting slightly mesad of humeral angle, slightly narrower and shallower than mesal groove, well defined on basal half to two-thirds, obsolete apically; epipleuron very gradually narrowed from shoulder to level of base of sternum 6. Ventral surface as in C. andreas but legs relatively large. Coxae and trochanters normal. Femora simple, metafemur shorter than others and much shorter than tibia. All femora largely visible from above. Profemur and protibia as in C. andreas. Mesotibia straight, inner face with few long hairs. Pro- and mesotarsomeres 1–3 ovate; protarsomere 4 small, situated within emargination of tarsomere 3 but visible in dorsal aspect. Hind legs slender; metatibia straight, evenly broadened from base to apex, natatorial setae absent from ventral face in both sexes; metatarsal claws equal. Male: Antenna broadened, antennomeres 5–7 slightly and progressively widened, 8–10 about as wide as long, and 11 fusiform. Profemur with anteroventral margin bearing four basal and a medial, short, stout spines. Protibia without obtuse, subapical tooth. Protarsomeres 1–3 slightly dilated, tarsomere 1 with a pair of large oval scales in addition to numerous small adhesive setae. Mesofemur clavate, ventral margin flattened and bearing a brush of elongate golden setae; inner margin of mesotibia without bearing an obtuse subapical tooth. Paramere sclerotized, broad, ovate, very much shorter than aedeagus; aedeagus (Figs 15, 16) in ventral aspect slender, strongly bent and narrow medially and anteriorly, apex bilobed. Basal part of aedeagus with sclerotized, broad and shell-like coverage. Female: Elytra with fine microreticulation. Females are a bit smaller than males. Measurements: TL = 2.4–2.45 mm, TL-H = 2.15–2.20 mm, MW = 1.05–1.10 mm. Differential diagnosis: A very distinct species which can be easily separated from all other species in the genus by its very small eyes (Fig. 8), the brown to testaceous surface and the very strange form of the median lobe (Figs 16, 17). Etymology: The species is dedicated to the ecologist Dr Jan Miller (Australia) who collected the type specimens and recognized their distinctiveness. Notes: A medium sized species showing some clear some stygobitic characters; body flattened, eyes very small. The punctures and microreticulation are not reduced and the colour, although relatively pale in some specimens, is similar to that of some other epigean Carabhydrus. In degree of adaptation to a subterranean life it appears to be similar to Limbodessus rivulus (Larson) which is found in the interstitial areas of small gravely streams in eastern Australia or even Paroster leai Watts & Leys, 2008 from SW Australia. Carabhydrus janmillerae sp.n. is the first species of the genus to show such intermediate characteristics. Distribution: South-eastern corner of New South Wales. Only known from the two type localities west of Eden (Fig. 28). Habitat: A rheophilic species. A field trip by the senior author in the Nullica River area in November 2006 revealed no further specimens. After several years of reduced rainfall in the area the upper part of the Nullica River and its tributaries were completely dry.Published as part of Hendrich, Lars & Watts, Chris H.

Letter to E. C. McCarty from John S. Watts
No full textLetter to E. C. McCarty from John S. Watts, former judge, attorney, Santa Fe, regarding what he had found out about the estate of his deceased brother, Isaac McCarty. Watts had not received any letters or payment from the McCarty family to do the investigation thus far. He learned that the partner Ceran St. Vrain and Preston Beck were both away for month. St. Vrain had paid the debts of McCarty amounting to 30.000, the remaining could be divided between St. Vrain and the family. There was also a contract for flour with the goverment, the value of which was unknown. Watts did not want to proceed further without authorization and promise of compensation.
