Hopkinton, NY is a quiet little town in the northeast part of the state, settled by New Englanders and built in the New England style with a village green, white wood frame churches, and large Victorian houses. Life here has generally moved at a leisurely pace; yet Hopkinton's people have had their dramas - both comedy and tragic - and their stories have been remembered. In 1903, Carlton Sanford had a book published documenting the settling of the town from a wilderness in 1802 through its first hundred years of development and tracing the descendants of the first settlers. Now Dale Burnett has written a folk history of the second hundred years, chronicling the events in the lives of Hopkinton's people and the town itself through the 20th century. Mr. Burnett has researched each separate district of the township and spoken with at least one person from each area to get its history from someone who lived there. In addition to the facts one would expect - businesses, history of the fire department, town officers - he has taken almost every house along each road in the town and listed the residents through the years, along with any tales that may have been told about them. Based mainly on interviews with older Hopkinton folk, some of whom were alive when Sanford's book came out, the stories handed down have been preserved as the old people told them. Facts are supported by newspaper articles, deeds and other documents. Included are tales of Hopkinton's characters, its three or four murders, and its one kidnapping case with still unanswered questions. And, following Mr. Sanford's example, at the end of "The Second Hundred Years" are genealogies submitted by Hopkinton families, many of whomcan still trace their ancestry to those early settlers.

Offering a fresh approach to new explorations of the reconfigurations of sociological thought, this book provides a mix of literature review, original theory and autobiographical material in order to understand formations of sociological knowledge.

A new approach which problematizes the category of contemporary adulthood, this book includes chapters on demographic change; becoming thirtysomething; graduates and work; mental health and happiness; new configurations of masculinity; the sexual lifecourse; political beliefs in adulthood; and adulthood and the housing market.

This specially curated collection features four reviews of current and key research on improving crop disease management. The first chapter reviews strategies for limiting foliar disease development in wheat and barley crops, such as crop rotations, intercropping, gene deployment and conservation tillage. It explores the effectiveness of each strategy against particular foliar diseases, as well as how these strategies can be deployed to reduce inoculum sources for residue-borne cereal leaf diseases. The second chapter considers the use of integrated disease management (IDM) to prevent or reduce yield loss in wheat. The chapter reviews the tactics/tools used in IDM, such as scouting, disease identification and chemical control, and explores how these tactics can be implemented to maximise the effectiveness of managing diseases in wheat. The third chapter assesses how IDM can be applied to barley production and considers the different disease threats, the tools available and possible approaches to deploying them. It also reviews the role of agronomy and how it can be used to optimise these tools. The final chapter reviews the use of IDM in grain legume production and explores the deployment of traditional strategies, such as field and crop management, as well as advanced monitoring methods, modelling and molecular methods to control disease outbreaks in grain legumes.

The Affordable Moving Surface Target Engagement (AMSTE) project attempts to develop affordable solutions to the precise moving target surface target engagement problem. Up to this point, most of the error analysis performed for the AMSTE project has been at the error variance level, generating root-sum-square (RSS) total errors from error budgets consisting of constant error variances. In reality, the level of error for both Global Positioning System (GPS) positioning and radar targeting systems is highly dependent upon the given situation (such as the distance between sensor and target, the altitude differences, etc.) This research generates a more comprehensive model of the GPS errors based upon the underlying physics of the situation. It focuses on differential tropospheric errors and multipath, as these are the primary error source in a differential GPS targeting system. In addition to the error model development, a code-based differential GPS and differential ranging approach is implemented in simulation using a Kalman filter. This approach uses GPS measurements collected by each of the sensors and the weapon, and it uses ranging measurements from the sensors to the bomb and the target. Multiple cases are run varying 1) the number of GPS satellite measurements tracked by each receiver, 2) whether or not the common GPS errors are estimated, and 3) whether or not the bomb is tracked with the same radar sensors that are tracking the target. The horizontal DRMS position error during the terminal phase of the bomb trajectory drops from about 6 meters to about 3.5 meters.

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER II THE AIM OF EDUCATION It seems proper that non-professional teachers, who though they cannot be regarded as regulars in the great army of teachers are yet its most important auxiliaries, should know something of educational tendencies, of the aim of education. At least, they will not be content like mere attendants to follow in the track of the regulars without intelligence or with dumb incuriosity. They will seek to know how far the advance has been pushed and what is the destination. Whither are we going? A knowledge of the goal we are striving for will affect the means by which we hope to reach it. What is the goal of education ? ' We, look you, boast ourselves to be far better than our fathers,' says a character in the ' Odyssey.' But when you read the history of educational ideals and survey the maelstrom of theories that the student of education must navigate, when you find the most contrary doctrines preached in the most positive terms, you may well be excused for doubting whether in the matter of educational aim we are any nearer the truth than our fathers. ' The greatest and most difficult problem to which aman can devote himself is that of Education,' says Kant; and the greatest intellects of nearly all periods have tried to enunciate some theory that would harmonise with the ideals current in their time. It is precisely because ideals change that new theories of education are evolved, and there is little certainty that the commonly accepted doctrines of the age of steam and motor-cars will satisfy the idealists of the age of marconigrams and aeroplanes It is something to be thankful for that common sense usually rides roughshod over fine distinctions, and it may be safely asserted that the average parent does not greatly concern himself with inqu...
