Adult Eyewitness Testimony provides an overview of current empirical research on eyewitness testimony and identification accuracy, covering both theory and application. The volume is organized to address three important issues: First, what are the cognitive, social, and physical factors that influence the accuracy of eyewitness reports? Second, how should lineups be constructed and verbal testimony be taken to improve the chances of obtaining accurate information? And third, whose testimony should be believed? Are there differences between accurate and inaccurate witnesses, and can jurors make such a distinction? Adult Eyewitness Testimony is crucial reading for memory researchers, as well as police officers, judges, lawyers, and other members of the judicial system. It will also be of interest to advanced undergraduates and graduate-level courses in applied social or cognitive psychology, criminal justice and forensics.

Collection of six episodes from the 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers'
television mini-series. This series focuses on the Blue Ranger
(David Yost). The smartest student at high school, he is clever,
perceptive and as a skilled inventor he always prioritises solving
the Rangers' problems. In these episodes, the Blue Ranger finds
someone as smart as him to take to the school dance, enrols in a
karate class so he won't be bullied so easily, has his mind
accidentally swapped with that of another Ranger, and faces his
crippling fear of fish. The episodes are: 'Peace, Love and Woe',
'Dark Warrior', 'Switching Places', 'Something Fishy', 'Grumble
Bee' and 'Blue Ranger Gone Bad'.

Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - International
Politics - Region: USA, grade: 1.0, Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH,
course: Civic Networks & Social Capital, language: English,
abstract: This paper critically evaluates Robert Putnam's "Bowling
Alone: America's declining social capital," published in 1995 in
the Journal of Democracy, both empirically and theoretically. It
counterchecks the empirical findings by Putnam based on data from
the WorldValuesSurvey of 2006 and thereby also provides an updated
view on Putnam's claim of declining social capital in the United
States. Subsequentially Putnam's theory is put into contrast with
and linked to works by Granovetter (1973), Dalton (2008); Fischer
(2001); Fischer & Hout (2006); Stolle, Hooghe & Micheletti
(2005); Kadushin (2004).
Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - International
Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: 1.3, Jacobs
University Bremen gGmbH, course: USC - Theories of Development,
language: English, abstract: Somalia is a country in the East of
Africa, situated at the horn of Africa with a population of ca. 9.3
million (BTI 2012). In this part of the world, life is hard (e.g.
infant mortality rate: 10%) and short (life expectancy at birth: 51
years). "Freedom in the World 2012" by Freedom House gives Somalia
the worst possible rating both for political rights and civil
liberties. It ranks at place 223 of 227 in terms of GDP per capita
(CIA Factbook, 2012). The Global Peace Index lists Somalia as the
most dangerous country in the world while the Transitional Federal
Government of Somalia (TFG), which is supported by the United
Nations, the African Union and the United States, merely controls
parts of the capital Mogadishu (Bruton, 2009). Around 40% of Somali
territory is occupied by a radical muslim militia called Al-Shabab.
The famine that befell the horn of Africa in 2011 struck Somalia
worst, a country, which is mostly referred to as a 'failed state'
for 20 years now. The situation in Somalia, so much is clear, is
very serious and appalling in a variety of fields. But why is that?
In this paper I will describe Somalia's recent development in the
framework introduced by Szirmai (2005: pp. 29-33), using his 9
characteristics of developing countries for classification, and -
building up on that - inquire into possible explanations for its
deficiencies and its failure as a state.

DESIGN DISCOURSE: COMPOSING AND REVISING PROGRAMS IN PROFESSIONAL
AND TECHNICAL WRITING addresses the complexities of developing
professional and technical writing programs. The essays in the
collection offer reflections on efforts to bridge two cultures-what
the editors characterize as the "art and science of writing"-often
by addressing explicitly the tensions between them. DESIGN
DISCOURSE offers insights into the high-stakes decisions made by
program designers as they seek to "function at the intersection of
the practical and the abstract, the human and the technical."

"Above all, history is knowing your rights. You must know
yourrights. If you go to work and don't know your rights, they
canmake you do anything they want."
Established in 1913, the New Brunswick Federation of Labour is
thesecond oldest provincial federation of labour in Canada. Its
historybegan in early campaigns for workers' compensation and
unionrecognition and continues today in the latest battles to
defend socialstandards, secure employment, and union rights. Active
initially in theport city of Saint John and the railway centre of
Moncton, thefederation soon expanded to include workers in the
mines and mills ofthe north, taking up the causes of public
employees and women workersand confronting the realities of life
and work in a bilingualsociety.
A pioneering study, written in clear and forceful prose, this is
theuntold story of provincial labour solidarities that succeeded
inovercoming divisions and defeats to raise the status of working
men andwomen within New Brunswick society. Drawing on archives,
newspapers, and workers' own descriptions of their experiences,
Frank makesan original contribution to our understanding of the
political, economic, and social development of the province. In so
doing, he helpsmeet the need for an informed public awareness of
the history ofworkers and unions in all parts of Canada.
