James Weldon Johnson Exponent of Negro Culture
No full textIt is almost inconceivable that one of the men responsible for the so-called "hot" musical number, "Underneath the Bamboo Tree," should be closely allied with any cultural movement of any sort. Yet James Weldon Johnson, the Negro author of the Bamboo Tree lyrics, has been referred to as an esthetic leader of his race, and has been several times compared, as a poet, to John M. Synge. |James Weldon Johnson was born in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1871. Educated at Atlanta University and at Columbia, he spent several years after his graduation collaborating with his brother Rosamund in the writing of librettos and songs for the musical comedy stage. He served at one time as principal of the Jacksonville Colored High School. Alter practicing law for many years he was sent as United States Consul to Venezuela and Nicaragua, where he served for seven, years. He is now professor of creative literature at Fisk University.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio

Synchronization Protocols Utilizing Progesterone Implants Associated with Estrus Expression, Vaginal Microbiome, and Immune Response in Beef Cattle
No full textThis thesis aims to provide a deep understanding of presynchronization strategies and the varying factors affecting their efficacy. Beginning with a literature review of the estrous cycle and the endocrinology driving it. Building on this foundation, the physiological basis for estrous synchronization is described, followed by the advancement of pre-synchronization protocols designed to increase estrus and conception. Further, we will focus on the influence of estrus expression on insemination time and conception rates. Finally, how the immune system interacts with the conception process. In addition, the review goes beyond exogenous endocrine manipulation and dives into the emerging role of the microbial communities of the reproductive tract and their influence on pregnancy and inflammation of the reproductive tract. Together, these interconnected fields underscore the multifactorial nature of fertility and highlight opportunities to improve reproductive management strategies in cattle. Two parallel studies were conducted to address the estrous expression and the microbiome related to synchronization protocols that utilize a 14-day implant. The first study focused on characterizing the onset of estrus in heifers, primiparous, and multiparous cows that are synchronized using the 7&7 synchronization protocol and variations. The second characterized the vaginal microbiome changes from the start to the end of the 7&7 synchronization protocol by utilizing 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The understanding of biological and management factors and their contribution to fertility is vital in increasing conception and reducing reproductive loss in cattle
1902 Dedication of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument
No full textOn May 15, 1902, after nearly 14 years of construction, the Soldiers and Sailors Monument was officially dedicated. The thousands of spectators on hand for the event were treated to a poetic recitation by James Whitcomb Riley. In this picture he can be seen standing on the platform during his recitation. Fellow Hoosier and author, Lew Wallace, was master of ceremonies and former Secretary of State John W. Foster delivered the address. John Phillip Sousa presented a march composed for the occasion.

His Majesty's advocate : Sir James Stewart of Goodtrees (1635-1713) and Covenanter resistance theory under the Restoration monarchy
No full textThis thesis is the first to explore the life and political thought of Sir James
Stewart of Goodtrees (1635-1713). The first part reviews the life of his father, Sir
James Stewart of Kirk field (1608-1681) to 1661, and Goodtrees' own life from birth
to his admission to the Scots bar in 1661. This provides the backdrop of history
necessary to appreciate his contributions as both writer and radical activist.
Particular attention focuses on the conflict between Charles I and Charles II, on the
one hand, and the Church of Scotland, on the other; the National Covenant (1638)
and the Solemn League and Covenant of(1643); the British wars of religion; and
the upheavals following the Restoration in the 1660s, culminating in the Pentland
Rising of 1666.
The next part develops Goodtrees' political philosophy from his two most
important writings. Chapter 3 reviews and interprets Naphtali (1667), a defence of
those who rose at Pentland. Chapter 4 reviews Andrew Honyman's Survey of
Naphtali (1668, 1669), a rebuttal of Naphtali and standard Anglican case for royal
absolutism. Chapter 5 reviews and interprets Goodtrees' Jus Populi Vindicatum, or
The People's Right, to defend themselves and their Covenanted Religion, vindicated
(1669), his rejoinder to Honyman. His Calvinist, covenantal constitutionalism is
shown to be an important link between earlier resistance theorists like John Knox
and Samuel Rutherford and the later Whigs, represented preeminently by John
Locke.
The third part (chapters 6-7) reviews Goodtrees' life and minor writings as radical critic of the Restoration monarchy; a participant in plots among British
exiles in Holland to overthrow it; a member briefly of James's Scottish government
before the Revolution; and lord advocate and churchman pursuing political, legal,
and ecclesiastical reforms afterwards
How adverse selection affects the health insurance market
No full textAdverse selection can be defined as strategic behavior by the more informed partner in a contract against the interest of the less informed partner(s). In the health insurance field, this manifests itself through healthy people choosing managed care and less healthy people choosing more generous plans. Drawing on theoretical literature on the problem of adverse selection in the health insurance market, the author synthesizes concepts developed piecemeal over more than 20 years, using two examples and revisiting the classical contribution of Rothschild and Stiglitz. He highlights key insights, especially from the literature on"equilibrium refinements"and on the theory of"second best."The government can correct spontaneous market dynamics in the health insurance market by directly subsidizing insurance or through regulation; the two forms of intervention provide different results. Providing partial public insurance, even supplemented by the possibility of opting out, can lead to second-best equilibria. The same result holds as long as the government can subsidize contracts with higher-than-average premium-benefit ratios and can tax contracts with lower-than-average premium-benefit ratios. The author analyzes the following policy options relating to the public provision of insurance: a) Full public insurance. b) Partial public insurance with or without the possibility of acquiring supplementary insurance and with or without the possibility of opting out. In recent plans implemented in Germany and the Netherlands, where competition among several health funds and insurance companies was promoted, a public fund was created to discourage risk screening practices by providing the necessary compensation across riks groups. But only"objective"risk adjusters (such as age, gender, and region) were used to decide which contracts to subsidize. Those criteria alone cannot correct the effects of adverse selection. Regulation can exacerbate the problem of adverse selection and lead to chronic market instability, so certain steps must be taken to prevent risk screening and preserve competition for the market. The author considers the following three policy options for regulating the private insurance market: 1) A standard contract with full coverage. 2) Imposition of a minimum insurance requirement. 3) Imposition of premium rate restrictions.Health Economics&Finance,Environmental Economics&Policies,Insurance&Risk Mitigation,Insurance Law,Financial Intermediation
