WHERE DID TAX ABATEMENT COME
FROM
Tax abatement, the modern day
method of obtaining up front money to
attract new businesses, is really
nothing new.
In September of 1878, Joseph Turner
of Jamestown, New York was seeking
a new location for an alp~ca weaving
mill. Mr. Turner had heard about a
possible s1te in Kent. The site, a
building orig1nal1y built to house a
weaving mll l in the great silk worm
experiment of Marvin Kent, was
available because silk worms don't
1ik e cold weatrier and succumbed to
the harsh winter of 1857, killing Mr.
Kent's dream of making silk in the
United States.
The building had sat id1e for twentyone
years and Mr. Kent was anxious to
lease it. Joseph Turner came to Kent,
11ked what he saw, and said it could
be made suitable for h1s alpaca mil 1.
However, he couldn't possibly
consider putting such a f actl 1ty in
without financial he1p from Mr. Kent
and the people of the community.
Subsequently, Marvin Kent put in
15,000.00 was pledged to meet
the community·s requirement.
The building ultimately had 254
weaving looms and hired 120
employees. In the 1880's, it was
Kent's second largest employer. Even
though the company only remained in
Kent for a decade, it was a good
tnvestment to our commun1ty.
Of special note, the Atlantic and
Great Western Ra 11 road a 1 so
subscribed the citizens of Kent for
$4,000.00 to bu1 ld the railroad
stat1on in 1874. Even though the
method was different, the idea of
collect1ng capital to start a new
business was the same.

Th1ne eyes have seen the fores ts
(Which come to us 1n dreams);
Thy childish feet have waded
1 n the brooks and native streams;
Thou has angled for the sunfish,
The bass, and nimble trout;
Thou has seen the bear and pant,,er,
And heard the Indians shout.
But changes, great, have t.aken place,
And we are in d1smay!
To think of man's destruction,
Just since thy natal day!
The forest gone! the running streams
once filled with teeming l1fe
Are dried! and lands are robbed!
And clties filled with strife!
When we were naught but babies,
In lands so far away,
Thou wast a man who grappled
With "the problems of the day."
Aye! sf nee thy lowly advent
on this dear earth of ours,
The nations - f111ed with hatred -
Have ratned w1th leaden showers.
comes fresh before the vision
The "Alma," red with blood;
"Sedan" beyond the ocean,
That ran a crimson flood;
.And all that "horrid conflict"
.A.bout the negro s 1 ave
.That killed two hundred thousand
Of our noblest and brave!
Thou thtnkest, too, of Russia.
Who forced a war with "Jap;''
And after murdering thousands,
Saw a change upon the map.
And now, dear "Uncle Austin,"
If all had lived like thee,
There· d been no war nor b 1 oodshed
On the land nor on the sea
The world has one great trouble,
Above all others seen,
For Self they live, for Self they die,
Then "pass beyond the scene."
Men hurry through this world,
And evil passions nurse;
And str1p the earth of fruttfulness,
Then stamp it with a curse.
But thou, true man of morals,
Shalt share Columbia's fame,
Outlasting bronze and granite;
Thou hast an honored name.
About the poet John Davey:
John Davey was born June 6, 1846 in
Somersetshire England. His family
was poor, so at a very early age he
went to work on neighboring farms
turning his earnings over to the
family. It was not unt n r1e was
twenty-one that he learned how to
read and write paying for his
education by trading part of his wages
for tuition.
John Davey arrived 1n the United
States in 1873, continuing his
education at twenty-seven, when he
learned Greek, Latin, Astronomy, and
Botany by using his labor as a janitor
1n a private school to pay for tuit1on.
In 188 1, he came to Kent to become
the Sexton of Standing Roel<. Cemetery.
f"1r. Davey's work in the cemetery
kindled a great des1re to learn all he
could about trees and enabled him to
exoeriment·wtth pruning, cabling, and
cavity work. He became so
knowledgeable that he wrote and
published a book The Tree Doctor,
1902. In 1905, he wrote a second
book called Davey's Primer on Trees
and Birds.
To earn more money for h1s f arn1ly of
five children, John Davey gave
lectures and had his books and
pamphlets sold both at those
lectures, and door to door by his son
Martin.
in 1909, he and his sons started the
Davey Tree Expert Company, the first
and only company of its k1nd. Today,
it is the largest tree company in the
world and sttll bears the name of its
founder, John Davey.

Treść i dynamika objawienia imienia Bożego w Księdze Wyjścia Część I: Analiza narracji Wj 3,16–24,18
No full textThe article addresses the significance of the formulas of the Divine Name: יְהוָה, אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה, and אֶהְיֶה (Exod 3:14–15). Referring to the narrative character of the Book of Exodus and assuming that the ambiguous formulas of the Divine Name in the initial part of the story are elements of a deliberate literary strategy, the author proposes interpreting these formulas using a narrative method. An analysis of two narrative sections of the Book of Exodus (3:16–18:27; 19:1–24:18) reveals that God, whose presence is initially depicted as concealed, is later portrayed, through the presentation of the Name formulas, as manifesting His presence through active intervention. The narrated events, in which YHWH acts on behalf of the Israelites against their enemies (Exod 3:16–18:27) and subsequently leads them to covenantal commitment (Exod 19:1–24:18), present God-YHWH as being. This notion clearly aligns with the declaration embedded in the Name formulas.Artykuł podejmuje zagadnienie znaczenia formuł imienia Bożego: יְהוָה, אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה oraz אֶהְיֶה (Wj 3,14-15). Odwołując się do narracyjnego charakteru Księgi Wyjścia oraz przyjmując założenie, że niejednoznaczne formuły imienia Bożego w początkowej części opowieści stanowią element przemyślanej strategii literackiej, autor proponuje tłumaczenie tych formuł za pomocą metody narratywnej. Przeprowadzona analiza dwóch fragmentów narracji Księgi Wyjścia (3,16–18,27; 19,1–24,18) pozwala zauważyć, iż Bóg, którego obecność na początkowym etapie opowieści zaprezentowana zostaje jako niejawna, wraz z przedstawieniem formuł imienia, ukazany zostaje jako manifestujący swoją obecność w aktywnym działaniu. Opowiedziane wydarzenia, w których JHWH jest podmiotem działającym na rzecz Izraelitów przeciw ich wrogom (Wj 3,16–18,27), a następnie doprowadzającym ich do zawarcia przymierza (Wj 19,1–24,18), ukazują Boga-JHWH jako będącego, co w czytelny sposób koresponduje z deklaracją zawartą w formułach imienia
Fitting mixtures of Kent distributions to aid in joint set identification
No full textWhen examining a rock mass, joint sets and their orientations can play a significant role with regard to how the rock mass will behave. To identify joint sets present in the rock mass, the orientation of individual fracture planer can be measured on exposed rock faces and the resulting data can be examined for heterogeneity. In this article, the expectation-maximization algorithm is used to lit mixtures of Kent component distributions to the fracture data to aid in the identification of joint sets. An additional uniform component is also included in the model to accommodate the noise present in the data
Update on HER-2 as a target for cancer therapy: alternative strategies for targeting the epidermal growth factor system in cancer
No full textThe epidermal growth factor (EGF) family of ligands and receptors interact to influence cell division, differentiation and motility. Much evidence supports their importance in causing and sustaining cell transformation in model systems and in human cancer. The exact mechanism by which this is achieved varies in different tumour types and from case to case. The EGF system is a target for new types of targeted chemotherapy. The choice of strategy will depend on the mechanism involved, however, and several approaches are under development or evaluation in clinical trials. Each will have a different spectrum of side effects and the potential for development of drug resistance
Treść i dynamika objawienia imienia Bożego w księdze Wyjścia Część II: Analiza narracji Wj 25,1-40,38
No full textThe article constitutes a continuation of the study addressing the significance of the formulas of the Divine Name: יְהוָה, אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה, and אֶהְיֶה (Exod 3:14–15). The analysis focuses on the subsequent textual material of the Book of Exodus (Exod 25:1–40:38), where YHWH is primarily portrayed as manifesting His presence in the Tabernacle, which He commands to be built as His dwelling place. Applying the method of narrative analysis to the entirety of the narrative material, the author concludes that the primary communicative aim of the book is to present God as being. This concept is signaled in the formulas of the Divine Name and confirmed throughout the narrative representation of the events. The depiction of YHWH’s presence intensifies progressively as the narrative unfolds, with God transitioning from an unknown name and imperceptible presence to being known by the name YHWH and permanently present among the Israelites.Artykuł stanowi kontynuację studium podejmującego temat znaczenia formuł imienia Bożego: יְהוָה, אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה oraz אֶהְיֶה (Wj 3,14-15). Analizie poddana zostaje dalsza partia materiału tekstualnego Księgi Wyjścia (Wj 25,1–40,38), gdzie JHWH zaprezentowany jest przede wszystkim jako manifestujący swoją obecność w przybytku, który nakazuje zbudować na mieszkanie dla siebie. Stosując metodę analizy narratywnej do całości materiału narracyjnego, autor dochodzi do wniosku, że głównym celem komunikacyjnym księgi jest ukazanie Boga jako będącego, co jest sygnalizowane w formułach imienia Bożego i potwierdzone w całej narracyjnej reprezentacji wydarzeń. Prezentacja obecności JHWH staje się coraz bardziej intensywna wraz z postępem narracji, a Bóg przechodzi od nieznanego imienia i niedostrzegalnej obecności do bycia znanym w imieniu JHWH i trwale obecnym pośród Izraelitów
Depth Control for Blind Water Jet Drilling in Bone
No full textAbstract - When surgically drilling blind holes in bone using a Water Jet (WJ), control over the resulting depth is a challenging issue of paramount concern. This thesis was part of a project aimed at replacing the awl and mallet technique used in traditional microfracture procedures with an arthroscopic high-pressure WJ instrument is capable of accurately drilling 2–4 mm deep holes in subchondral bone. The focus of this paper was to develop, analyze and evaluate concepts for ensuring the depthwise accuracy of a microfracturing WJ. Research was performed on both WJ systems and the microfracture procedure, and a thorough problem analysis detailing all concerning requirements and parameters was set up. It was determined that due to the strong non-uniformity of human bone, both spatially and between subjects, a WJ capable of monitoring the depth and implementing a closed-loop control system was needed to ensure safe and accurate drilling. To measure the depth of the hole and allow for feedback control, a flexible Nickel Titanium probe concept was devised and tested. The concept featured a 3D printed nozzle with built-in WJ orifice and depth probe, which could be extended down the hole made by the WJ by an ex-vivo actuator featurimg load and displacement sensors. When the load sensor detected a sudden rise in extension resistance, bottom contact was assumed and the hole depth was calculated based on the displacement of the probe. A proof-of-concept experiment showed the viability of using a flexible probe to measure the depth. Additionally, the algorithm produced for calculating the depth was shown to be robust against the hysteresis and backlash exhibited by the setup. When probing holes with depths of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mm and bore diameters of 1, 1.5, and 2 mm drilled in solid PMMA, the prototype managed an error mean of 0.00 mm with a SD of 0.19 mm. To test the probe in holes shaped as expected during microfracture surgery, a virtual interference experiment was carried out using mCT scans of WJ-drilled bones and simulated probes of varying diameters. Seven scans were probed from 4 different angles each; the results suggested that a probe with a 0.2–0.3 mm diameter was optimal in terms of traversing the hole without blockages and without risking over-penetration. Moreover, this thesis produced recommendations on carrying the project further, towards a fully integrated system capable of drilling accurate blind holes in human bone, in a closed-loop depth-controlled manner.BMEBioMechanical EngineeringMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
Mojżesz wysłannik Jahwe (Wj 1,1–14,31)
No full textThe Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt was the most important event in the history of the Chosen People. The historical and theological context of the biblical events contained in Exodus 1:1–14:31 was described.The aim of the research became the analysis and interpretation of the theological message contained in the first part of the Exodus recounting the liberation of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery (Exodus 1:1–14:31).In the analysis and exegesis of biblical texts, the intertextual method was used, as well as the historical-critical method over the issue of Moses’ mission.As a result of the study, it can be concluded that: 1) the knowledge of the God of Israel and His intentions is the key theme of the first fifteen chapters of the Exodus. Yahweh is the main protagonist of the events described in the Book of Exodus. He is their author and perpetrator; 2) the theme of the first part of the Exodus is the conflict over whom Israel is to serve; 3) the historical sources do not reflect in their entirety the facts known from the biblical account, for the reason that the Bible is not a historical chronicle, but a record of God’s revelation. Its main task is to convey theological content.The conclusions to be drawn are: 1) the revelation that was to Moses also applies to the Israelites, as well as to the Egyptians. However, the times and the manner of revelation change. God’s words are addressed to everyone, including modern people.The study conducted does not exhaust the subject of Moses’ mission to Israel. It is not a complete characterization of Moses. At the same time, it is necessary to keep in mind the further impact of the message of the Exodus on subsequent generations of Israel, as well as on modern times. The study can become a contribution to further theological reflection on the message of the Exodus.Wyjście Izraelitów z Egiptu było najważniejszym wydarzeniem w historii narodu wybranego. Został opisany kontekst historyczno-teologiczny wydarzeń biblijnych zawartych w Wj 1,1–14,31.Celem badań stała się analiza i interpretacja przesłania teologicznego zawartego w pierwszej części Księgi Wyjścia opowiadającej o wyzwoleniu Izraelitów z niewoli egipskiej (Wj 1,1–14,31).Przy analizie i egzegezie tekstów biblijnych wykorzystano metodę intertekstualną, a także historyczno-krytyczną nad zagadnieniem misji Mojżesza.W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań można stwierdzić, że: 1) poznanie Boga Izraela i Jego zamiarów jest kluczowym tematem pierwszych piętnastu rozdziałów Księgi Wyjścia. Jahwe jest głównym bohaterem wydarzeń opisanych w Księdze Wyjścia. On jest ich sprawcą i autorem; 2) tematem pierwszej części Księgi Wyjścia jest konflikt o to, komu służyć ma Izrael; 3) źródła historyczne nie odzwierciedlają w całości faktów znanych z relacji biblijnej, dlatego że Biblia nie jest kroniką historyczną, lecz zapisem objawienia Bożego. Jej głównym zadaniem jest przekaz treści teologicznej.Wnioski, jakie należy wyciągnąć to: 1) objawienie, które było do Mojżesza, dotyczą także Izraelitów, jak i do Egipcjan. Zmieniają się jednak czasy i sposób objawienia. Słowa Boga skierowane są do wszystkich, również do ludzi współczesnych.Przeprowadzone badania nie wyczerpują tematu misji Mojżesza względem Izraela. Nie jest pełną charakterystyką Mojżesza. Należy przy tym pamiętać o dalszym oddziaływaniu przesłania Księgi Wyjścia na kolejne pokolenia Izraela, a także na czasy współczesne. Badanie mogą stać się przyczynkiem do dalszej refleksji teologicznej nad przesłaniem Księgi Wyjścia
Results of a pilot randomised controlled trial to measure the clinical and cost effectiveness of peer support in increasing hope and quality of life in mental health patients discharged from hospital in the UK
No full textBackground
Mental health patients can feel anxious about losing the support of staff and patients when discharged from hospital and often discontinue treatment, experience relapse and readmission to hospital, and sometimes attempt suicide. The benefits of peer support in mental health services have been identified in a number of studies with some suggesting clinical and economic gains in patients being discharged.
Methods
This pilot randomised controlled trial with economic evaluation aimed to explore whether peer support in addition to usual aftercare for patients during the transition from hospital to home would increase hope, reduce loneliness, improve quality of life and show cost effectiveness compared with patients receiving usual aftercare only, with follow-up at one and three-months post-discharge.
Results
A total of 46 service users were recruited to the study; 23 receiving peer support and 23 in the care-as-usual arm. While this pilot trial found no statistically significant benefits for peer support on the primary or secondary outcome measures, there is an indication that hope may be further increased in those in receipt of peer support. The total cost per case for the peer support arm of the study was £2154 compared to £1922 for the control arm. The mean difference between costs was minimal and not statistically significant. However, further analyses demonstrated that peer support has a reasonably high probability of being more cost effective for a modest positive change in the measure of hopelessness. Challenges faced in recruitment and follow-up are explored alongside limitations in the delivery of peer support.
Conclusions
The findings suggest there is merit in conducting further research on peer support in the transition from hospital to home consideration should be applied to the nature of the patient population to whom support is offered; the length and frequency of support provided; and the contact between peer supporters and mental health staff. There is no conclusive evidence to support the cost effectiveness of providing peer support, but neither was it proven a costly intervention to deliver. The findings support an argument for a larger scale trial of peer support as an adjunct to existing services
