Diary of C. J. Sanders
Get PDFDiary - This document is the personal diary of Constance Jukes Sanders, daughter of Gilbert E. Sanders, Superintendent of the Northwest Mounted Police 1905-1908. The diary begins on August 27, 1910, and ends April 6, 1911. Diary entries include daily activities of C. J. Sanders during her nineteenth and twentieth years, while living in Athabasca Landing with her parents. C. J. spent her days doing housework at the family's home, and often taught Sunday School at the local church. A favourite pastime was having friends over to play bridge in the evening, or riding ponies during the daytime. Church was a big part of the family's week. The women also spent a lot of time cooking, cleaning and sewing. C. J. took a boat over to Europe with her mother and father just before Christmas in 1910. She was very seasick during the trip. While in Europe they visited family and friends in England, Ireland and France (45 pages

Haruki Murakami’s Deconstructive Reading of the Myth of Johnnie Walker and Colonel Sanders in Kafka on the Shore
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze how Haruki Murakami reads the real icons of Johnnie Walker and Colonel Sanders in Kafka on
the Shore deconstructively. First, we will focus on the signification process of the icon, which are to a great extent molded by advertisements, and then on the deconstruction of their signifieds. For the purpose, we will apply Barthes‟ idea of myth. We are also interested in revealing how Murakami constructs Johnnie Walker and Colonel Sanders to be characters in the novel. The analysis shows that the construction of the icons through advertisements leads to the creation of their mtyhs, and then Murakami reads them deconstructively to be opposite signifieds
Kinematic Patterns Associated with the Vertical Force Produced during the Eggbeater Kick
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to determine the kinematic patterns that maximized the vertical force produced during the water polo eggbeater kick. Twelve water polo players were tested executing the eggbeater kick with the trunk aligned vertically and with the upper limbs above water while trying to maintain as high a position as possible out of the water for nine eggbeater kick cycles. Lower limb joint angular kinematics, pitch angles and speed of the feet were calculated. The vertical force produced during the eggbeater kick cycle was calculated using inverse dynamics for the independent lower body segments and combined upper body segments, and a participant-specific second degree regression equation for the weight and buoyancy contributions. Vertical force normalized to body weight was associated with hip flexion (Average, r=0.691; Maximum, r=0.791; Range of Motion, r=0.710), hip abduction (Maximum, r=0.654), knee flexion (Average, r=0.716; Minimum, r=0.653) and knee flexion-extension angular velocity (r=0.758). Effective orientation of the hips resulted in fast horizontal motion of the feet with positive pitch angles. Vertical motion of the feet was negatively associated with vertical force. A multiple regression model comprising the non-collinear variables of maximum hip abduction, hip flexion range of motion and knee flexion angular velocity accounted for 81% of the variance in normalized vertical force. For high performance in the water polo eggbeater kick players should execute fast horizontal motion with the feet by having large abduction and flexion of the hips, and fast extension and flexion of the knees

Two-Color Terawatt Laser System For High-Intensity Laser-Plasma Experiments
Get PDFWe report a two-color terawatt laser system for use in controlling laser-plasma instabilities. The system includes a commercial 45 TW Ti:Sapphire laser system at 800 nm, temporally synchronized with a 1 TW CPA Raman-Ti:Sapphire hybrid laser centered at 873nm that we designed and built to complement the 800 nm system. The two-color system will be used to seed, enhance, suppress, or otherwise control a variety of instabilities which arise in laser-plasma interactions.Physic
The sexual excitation/sexual inhibition inventory for women: psychometric properties
No full textThis is a post-print version of the article. The official published version can be found at the link below.This article reports on the development of a new questionnaire designed to assess the propensity for sexual excitation and sexual inhibition in women: The Sexual Excitation/Sexual Inhibition Inventory for Women (SESII-W). The theoretical model underlying this research, the Dual Control Model, postulates that sexual response depends on a balance between excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms and that individuals vary in their propensity for excitation and inhibition. This study describes the development and initial validation of the SESII-W in a sample of 655 women (M age, 33.9 years). Factor analysis identified eight factors and two higher-order factors: one related to sexual excitation and one to sexual inhibition. The measure demonstrated good test-retest reliability and discriminant and convergent validity. Our data underscore that a number of factors affect women's sexual arousal and these appear to be related to opposing processes of sexual excitation and sexual inhibition. Theoretical issues, possible gender differences, and the value of using qualitative data to inform questionnaire development are discussed.This study was funded, in part, by a grant from the Lilly Centre for Women‟s Health
