This important monograph summarizes a comprehensive study on the
maturation of walking in normal children. Research, undertaken at
one of the world's leading gait analysis centers, involved over 400
studies on a total of nearly 300 children in ten age-groups from
one to seven years. Data are presented on anthropometric
measurements; tests of developmental progress; time/distance
parameters such as stride length and walking velocity; twelve joint
angles on each side measured throughout the gait cycle; dynamic
electromyography of phasic activity in seven lower-extremity muscle
groups; and force measurements including vertical force, fore/aft
shear, medial/lateral shear and torque. At each age, composite
joint-angle graphs and time/distance parameters are brought
together with film tracings of a representative child in that age
group. In addition, advanced methods of statistical analysis have
been applied to the joint-angle data to define prediction regions
within which ninety-five percent of normal children should lie
throughout the gait cycle. Finally, a 'decision tree' is presented
from which a fitted age can be inferred for a subject based on
non-age-specific data gathered in a motion analysis lab. Practical
applications are demonstrated in a chapter devoted to two case
studies.
Why do we exist, what are we and why does it matter? As creatures
of logic and reason it seems unreasonable to say that every
thought, desire and event in the entire universe has a direct
association with the individual. The reason this seems unfathomable
is that we are attempting to understand this from an external or
ego centered perspective. If we take a brief look at what is
happening inside our own physical bodies, we see millions of
chemical activities occurring simultaneously and effortlessly.
Within our nervous system, neurons are receiving and relaying
thousands of electrical signals to control and coordinate all
essential functions of your body. Even if we do not take into
account the work of the digestive system, the musculoskeletal
system, the respiratory system and other networked systems, it is a
wonder in and of itself that you are alive and reading these words.
This physical manifestation called you, whether fathomable in its
entirety or not is who you are A negative reaction to the statement
that you have created everything in your world; body, mind,
personality, dreams and shortcomings exemplifies the fact that you
see your conscious mind as a sole power broker. Ironically, whether
you believe you have self-created this individual called you or
not, you would be right in both cases. You the conscious thinker or
ego has not, but the larger 'you' the intuitive mind within has.

1900s. Sabin Americana is rich in original accounts of discovery
and exploration, pioneering and westward expansion, the U.S. Civil
War and other military actions, Native Americans, slavery and
abolition, religious history and more.Sabin Americana offers an
up-close perspective on life in the western hemisphere,
encompassing the arrival of the Europeans on the shores of North
America in the late 15th century to the first decades of the 20th
century. Covering a span of over 400 years in North, Central and
South America as well as the Caribbean, this collection highlights
the society, politics, religious beliefs, culture, contemporary
opinions and momentous events of the time. It provides access to
documents from an assortment of genres, sermons, political tracts,
newspapers, books, pamphlets, maps, legislation, literature and
more.Now for the first time, these high-quality digital scans of
original works are available via print-on-demand, making them

This monograph describes a possible technique to allow military
planners to identify key objectives that may be affected in gaining
control of a city without destroying it. This technique involves
viewing a city as a complex "system of systems" and offers the
planner insights as to where to apply military means to achieve the
desired ends. While much has been written on Effect Based
Operations (EBO), this monograph attempts to "operationalize" the
concept. It presents a planning technique to assist in identifying
targets, understanding target interrelationships, and analyzing
second and third order effects. This study uses the urban
environment to present this planning technique. The primary
research question is: Is it possible to seize and control a city
without destroying it? The secondary question is: Is there a
systems approach process to achieve military success in an urban
environment? The purpose of this paper is to provide the
operational commander with an approach to manage the complexity of
the urban environment. It should provide the reader with a systems
approach that is grounded in doctrine, a methodology to reduce
complexity, and a practical planning approach to assist in urban
operations. The systems approach discussed in this paper allows
commanders to seize control of a city without destroying it. The
approach can be seen as a graduated response matrix where critical
requirements are affected in sequence in order to achieve a desired
result. While it is impossible to determine to which threshold the
adversary would relinquish his control of the city (aim), the
systems approach does provide a method to gradually reach that
threshold. In addition, the systems approach allows commanders to
war-game and record the effects of an action throughout the entire
greater system. This provides the commander with an analysis tool
that captures potential second and third order effects that may or
may not be desired. This is a technique that should be incorporate

For more than two and a half centuries Halifax has experienced both
war and peace, growing from a frontier outpost to one of Canada's
most appealing and forward-looking cities.
For many years the fate of the city was determined by the rivalries
among Britain, France, and the United States: conflict meant
prosperity for Halifax in 1812 and again during the U.S. Civil War.
During the Victorian era Halifax enjoyed lively commerce and
manufacturing and an active and progressive social and cultural
life. The early decades of the twentieth century, punctuated by
economic depression, world war and the devastation of the 1917
Explosion, were difficult for the city. It was not until the 1960s
that Halifax started to prosper again, its growth fuelled by
government policies and trends favouring urbanization.
"Halifax: The First 250 Years" brings together extensive research
into the diversity of the city's development with more than 300
illustrations, many in colour, providing a vivid portrait of the
city and its diverse residents through the years.
