One of the predominant stimuli of our lives is music. It is "found in everyday life in all societies" and is the "cornerstone of human culture." Music has a way of cultivating a community, enhancing learning and memory, provoking emotions, and enriching our lives. This form of art drives us to interact intentionally with other humans, yet also intentionally reflect upon ourselves. The beat and rhythm of modern music energizes our society and exudes both innovation and inspiration. However, another kind of music has been lost with the hustle and bustle lifestyle of the 21st century: the music of silence, the natural and organic sounds of life on earth, the intentionality of reflecting under the night sky.144-60

Transforming witnesses to actors: 100+ men against domestic violence
No full textIn this master's thesis, I examine 100+ Men Against Domestic Violence, a training program that was offered to Rutgers University students, faculty, and staff in September 2008 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. This training program was designed to educate and empower men to end domestic violence in their communities by utilizing the bystander intervention model which aims to change underlying social norms and attitudes that contribute to the problem of violence against women. Ten months following the training program, interviews were conducted with several men that attended the program in order to evaluate the program. Both the training program and the interviews will be examined in this paper.I will introduce the topic area of violence against women; provide theoretical frameworks in which to examine these issues; outline the 100+ Men Against Violence training program; present the evaluation of the program; and provide further deliberation on the implications of this research and suggestions for the future. This paper particularly focuses on bystander intervention, which is a major component of the 100+ Men Against Domestic Violence Program, in order to evaluate the efficacy of its principles as a primary prevention program.M.A.Includes bibliographical references (p. 90-96)by Alexandria Sarah Dic

Alexandria: A Tool for Hierarchical Verification
No full text. Alexandria is an implementation of the hierarchical verification methodology for the Higher-Order Logic (HOL) theorem prover. The main contribution of Alexandria is the reduction of effort required by the user to create and use hierarchical hardware proofs in HOL. We discuss the implementation and use of Alexandria with an example and outline our future work. 1 Introduction Hierarchical decomposition of verification is an accepted practice in hardware verification [LA92] [GW92]. Hierarchical verification assists practitioners with a simpler division of proof efforts for collaborating researchers, as well as a means to reuse old proofs in new verifications. Alexandria is a tool designed to support the hierarchical decomposition methodology. It is based on the Higher-Order Logic (HOL) theorem prover and uses abstract theories and predicate types to enforce the proof decomposition. Alexandria provides functions for creating parameterized hardware modules and proving correctness ..
Spiritual contemplation in Clement of Alexandria’s Stromateis : adaptation of the philosophical category θεωρία
No full textAlthough scholars have often acknowledged the spirituality in the writings of Clement of Alexandria (cir. 150-215 AD), a thorough study of the Platonic category θεωρία as it
appears in this second century Father has never been undertaken. Most studies on
Christian spirituality either ignore Clement's role altogether, or rush past him with little comment in favor of the great Origen (cir. 185-255 AD).
Stromateis, Clement's most enigmatic work, contains over 75 occurrences of θεωρία. A
close examination of these texts reveals that his use of the term is somewhat different from two of his greatest philosophical and spiritual mentors, Plato and Philo. Clement uses this term (usually translated "contemplation") to refer to a spiritual experience which occurs in
space and time, as well as an ethereal one and one which occurs in the mind. A possible
explanation for this difference lies with Clement's claim in the opening chapter of the
work: he is the recipient of an oral tradition which has never been recorded, but which he plans to include in the Stromateis.
This thesis demonstrates: 1) that Clement is the first Christian writer to adapt this
philosophical category into Christian spirituality; 2) the primary purpose of Stromateis is to present the third stage in a spiritual pathway - to reveal θεωρία as the spiritual "meat" for the advanced believer; and 3) to present God and His contact with the Christian as immediate. In a radical move, going against the philosophical setting of the day, Clement
presents this Platonic category as a means for the Christian to experience an immanent
God
