The Title of the book is "Don't Be a Foolish Virgin " The sub-title
is "Confessions of a Foolish Virgin." When God gave me this title a
few years ago, I did not understand what he wanted me to write. As
I was studying the Bible a few years later, I came across this
scripture, "Therefore this is what the LORD says: "Inquire among
the nations: Who has ever heard anything like this? A most horrible
thing has been done by Virgin Israel. Jeremiah 18:13 (NIV) and in
Amos 5:1-2a says, Listen, you people of Israel Listen to this
funeral song I am singing: "The virgin Israel has fallen...
"Virgin" is the Children of Israel, in current day we too are the
Children of Israel. All of us are included. My Introduction starts
with one of my favorite scriptures, "But the jar he was making did
not turn out as he had hoped, so he crushed it into a lump of clay
again and started over. Jeremiah 18:4. God is giving me an extreme
makeover. This book is my story of how God showed me his
unconditional love. You will learn what sin is, where sin came
from, when and why we sin, who has sinned and the side-effects of
sin. You will walk through forgiveness, asking and accepting
forgiveness, and forgiving yourself and others. My goal is to help
you focus on your state of mind when you fall and prepare you to
avoid the attacks of the enemy. Your eyes will be opened to God's
unconditional love for you as you read about Hosea's obedience to
God by marrying Gomer, a harlot, to show his unconditional love for
the Children of Israel. Do you know what your "special needs" are?
If not, you'll find out. I'll briefly discuss our opportunities to
share with others how God has comforted and forgiven us. There is a
personal Spiritual Assessment at the end of the book. This fifteen
page assessment is for the reader to examine themselves. To guide
them as to what areas of their lives that needs attention. God is
waiting
The papers in this study cover a range of scenarios, from disk and
envelope around young stellar objects and protostars through to
more aged stars and highly-evolved objects which exhibit
considerable mass loss features. Significant advances and
developments in observing facilities, instrumentation, computing
power and techniques are described, together with a variety of
theories, suggestions, observations and models. The formation,
composition, effects and evolution of the material surrounding a
stellar environment are also included.
Find remarkable prevention and treatment strategies for
preschool-age children of substance abusers in this informative
volume. It provides an overview of the various problems exposure to
substance abuse can cause for preschool children. Because of the
strong influences parents have on their children, early childhood
is a critical time for intervention to counteract the damaging
effects of alcohol and drug abusing parents. Research shows that
attitudes about alcohol and other drugs are already formed by
junior high school level, and senior high school is too late for
significant attitude change. Preschoolers and Substance Abuse
promotes preschool age as the ideal time to apply strategies that
will aid the family in building the self-esteem, trust, autonomy,
and initiative necessary to protect the child from further problems
caused by addictive parents. Intervention strategies are presented
in a succinct manner, making them easy for practitioners, health
officials, government officials, and family members to put into
immediate practice.This book offers a unique approach to substance
abuse, treating it as a community and societal problem rather than
an individual problem. Intervention and treatment strategies are
geared toward the substance abuse problem itself as well as how it
impacts children and family systems. The harmful impact of alcohol
or drug abusive parents is evaluated for all stages of childhood
development, from pre-natal influences through infancy and the
preschool years. Some of the harmful results of alcohol and drug
abuse affecting preschool children addressed in this volume include
violence, sexual abuse, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and intra-uterine
exposure to drugs. The authors outline a comprehensive list of
imperatives for a future agenda to protect preschool children from
suffering the consequences of their parents'substance abuse. Public
health officials, decision makers, practitioners, and legislators
will find a series of policy recommendations including increased
research, substance abuse training for child care workers,
increased outreach and education for expectant mothers, and
community-based outreach programs to insure ethnic or socioeconomic
sensitivity and appropriateness.

Alcohol problems among Native Americans are severe and widespread.
Statistics report that the rate of alcohol-related deaths is about
eight times greater for Native Americans than for the U.S.
population as a whole. This bibliography identifies the problems of
alcoholism and alcohol abuse among Native American youth as a
severe mental and physical health issue that deserves closer study,
and it brings together in one volume most of what is known about
the subject to date. The increasing amount of research that has
appeared in recent years has created the need for a comprehensive
reference focusing not only on anthropological and sociological
concerns, but on questions more specifically relevant to Native
Americans, such as child abuse and neglect, foster homes, school
problems, dropouts, peer relation effects, family modeling
response, fetal alcohol syndrome, developmental factors, and, most
importantly, social deprivation. The authors maintain that the
emerging literature on Native American youth's alcoholism is
multidisciplinary in nature, suggesting that the subject in general
has taken on greater significance in the social framework of this
country. Native American Youth and Alcohol makes a valuable
contribution by emphasizing the current publications on Indian
youth and alcohol in an accessible format that offers a broad
spectrum of opinion and analysis. This timely work will be read by
professionals in the human services field and by a variety of
researchers, practitioners, and those who are currently engaged in
health promotion and disease prevention activities.
Experts from around the world fill a major gap about social work
education with their survey of the state of the field in over 23
countries and regions within the Americas (United States, Canada,
Mexico and Central America, South America, Argentina), Europe
(United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Germany, Central/Eastern Europe,
Russia and the Republics), Africa (Africa, Zimbabwe, South Africa),
the Middle East (the Middle East and Egypt, Israel), and Asia and
the Pacific (Asia/Pacific, Australia, India, Bangladesh, Japan,
China). This reference guide also considers social work education
from a comparative and global perspective in terms of current
problems and programs and future prospects. Social workers,
educators, academics, and professionals will gain from the country
studies, international overview, and lengthy bibliographies.
Social work originates from humanitarian, religious, and democratic
ideals and philosophies, and has universal applications to meet
human needs arising from personal-societal interactions.
Professional social workers are dedicated to service for the
welfare and self-fulfillment of human beings; to the disciplined
use of scientific knowledge regarding human and societal behavior;
to the development of resources to meet individual, group,
national, and international needs and aspirations; and to the
achievement of social justice. This handbook raises issues such as,
Are there globally recognized values of social work? Is there a
model of international practice that is applicable across the range
of interventions--micro to mezzo to macro? Do social workers have a
professional identity which unites them the world over? This
handbook covers the five continents of the globe by presenting the
state of the art theory and practice of social work within selected
countries which have a legacy of social work, either imported from
the west or indigenously developed within the country. In the
context of conditions prevalent in these countries the handbook
highlights the constant challenges facing social workers and social
work organizations to meet the needs of the individuals and
societies they service.
Building pathology provides an interdisciplinary approach to the
study of defects and performance in order to develop appropriate
remedial and management solutions. It considers how the structure
and materials of a building relate to its environment, its
occupants and the way the building is used, so as to develop a
better understanding of building failures.
This book provides a well illustrated introduction to the
discipline of building pathology, bridging the gap between current
approaches to the surveying of buildings and the detailed study of
defect diagnosis, prognosis and remediation. It features a number
of case studies and a detailed set of references and further
reading.
This second edition has been updated to reflect changes in
legislation, guidance and construction, and provides new case
studies that demonstrate the breadth and depth of the subject.

ABSTRACT. Recent measurements of the diffuse background at
millimeter wavelengths indicate no departure from a Planck spectrum
near the peak of the blackbody curve. Anisotropy measurements
indicate no structure, at the 2% level, in the recently detected
submillimeter excess. We report here the results of an April 1987
balloon flight of an instrument designed to measure the spectrum of
the cosmic background radiation from 1 mm to 3 mm. A description of
the instrument can be found in Peterson, Richards, and Timusk
(1985). Modifications were made to the apparatus and experimental
procedure in order to identify and reduce systematic errors.
Results from the latest flight indicate that two effects hamper the
interpretation of the data. These systematic effects will be
described in detail in a forthcoming publications; they are
probably responsible for the non-Planckian spectrum measured by
Woody and Richards (1981). Attempts to remove the systematic
effects from our data yield the upper limits to the CBR brightness
temperature in 4 bands from 1 mm to 3 mm. There is no evidence for
an excess of radiation near the 2. 8 K blackbody peak.
This book covers the full breadth of forest entomology. It combines
the work of forest entomologists working on the impact and
management of forest pests with those involved in diversity
assessment and conservation of insects in forests. Forests and
Insects demonstrates that both these disciplines demand an
understanding of population and community biology. The book covers
such topics as colonization of trees by insects, population
dynamics of forest insects, insect natural enemies, the effects of
climate change and pollution on forest pests, spatial variation in
the abundance of insects, the mineralization of carbon by termites,
the impact of herbivorous insects, and the conservation of forest
insect diversity, including the effects of forest fragmentation and
deforestation. This Royal Entomological Society Symposium volume
will be of great interest to all agricultural and forest
entomologists, population and community biologists, pest management
specialists and anyone concerned with the conservation of forest
biodiversity.
The book highlights the scale of disorder and the many difficulties
faced by the authorities. This book explores the connexion between
collective action, popular politics and policing in Ireland from
the end of the Williamite war in 1691 to the outbreak of the
Whiteboy agrarian protest in 1761. It considers the impact madeby
the people who maintained order - civilian officers, the army and
militias, and bands of irregular forces - outlining not only the
many problems that they faced but also the effects on Irish society
of their abuses. The book highlights the conflict between
authorities, who were enforcing laws, and crowds, who were
enforcing popular notions of justice, as well as the changes taking
place in the ethics of law enforcement. It shows how increasing
taxes collected by the Irish government, used mainly to pay for the
British army, resulted in a proliferation of violent protests in
most parts of Ireland in the early eighteenth century. In addition,
the book discusses popular attitudesand belief systems, examines
the conduct of rioters and members of the forces of order and
reveals the moral compasses used during violent confrontations on
both sides of the legal divide. Overall, the book's investigation
of large-scale disorder leads us to a better understanding of the
relationships between rulers and the ruled in Ireland in this
period. TIMOTHY D. WATT is a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the School of
History at University College Dublin.
"Medieval Women's Writing" is a major new contribution to our
understanding of women's writing in England, 1100-1500. The most
comprehensive account to date, it includes writings in Latin and
French as well as English, and works for as well as by women. Marie
de France, Clemence of Barking, Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe,
and the Paston women are discussed alongside the Old English lives
of women saints, The Life of Christina of Markyate, the St Albans
Psalter, and the legends of women saints by Osbern Bokenham.
"Medieval Women's Writing" addresses these key questions:
Who were the first women authors in the English canon?
What do we mean by women's writing in the Middle Ages?
What do we mean by authorship?
How can studying medieval writing contribute to our understanding
of women's literary history?
Diane Watt argues that female patrons, audiences, readers, and
even subjects contributed to the production of texts and their
meanings, whether written by men or women. Only an understanding of
textual production as collaborative enables us to grasp fully
women's engagement with literary culture. This radical rethinking
of early womens literary history has major implications for all
scholars working on medieval literature, on ideas of authorship,
and on women's writing in later periods. The book will become
standard reading for all students of these debates.

The conference recorded in this volume was one of the events
organised to celebrate the centenary of the (re)establishment of
the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, on Blackford Hill in 1884.
Circumstellar Matter was selected as the topic because of important
contributions toward research in the field by recent observations
in the infrared and submillimetre, particularly with the two
telescopes which the Observatory has both operated and built instru
mentation for - the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) and
the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). The programme aimed to
cover as many aspects of circumstellar matter as could fit into a
one-week meeting, omitting only planetary nebulae, which had been
well served by meetings in the previous two years. We thank the
international scientific advisory com mittee (overleaf) for their
help in selecting the Invited Reviewers around which the programme
was built. The Invited Reviews and oral contributions are included
in the order and sections in which they were presented, even where
re-ordering might have been more logical. We did not attempt to
categorise the poster contributions but have included them in
alphabetical order. An evening session for viewing and discussing
posters in an unhurried atmosphere was very successful. A
competition for the best poster was held and the prize was awarded
for that by Lindqvist, Lucas, Olofsson, Omont, Eriksson &
Gustafsson."
