Lowering the Bar: Inre
نویسنده
چکیده
Misdemeanor child molestation, rape, promotion of prostitution, and forcible sodomy: fourteen and sixteen.1 Eight rapes, effectuated through death threats and excessive force: twelve and thirteen.2 First degree sexual abuse and sexual misconduct: five and four. 3 These are some of the offenses for which three of Missouri's sexually violent predators ("SVP") 4 have been convicted and a sampling of their victims' ages. Enacted in 1998 to become effective in 1999, 5 the Sexually Violent Predator Act is a mechanism whereby Missouri may civilly commit those found to be sexually violent predators 6-defined as one "who suffers from a mental abnormality which makes [him] more likely than not to engage in predatory acts of sexual violence if not confined" and who has previously pled guilty to or been convicted of a sexually violent offense.7

Seventy-eight normotensive college students were randomly assigned to one of three groups: the BRT group, the BAR group, and a control group. The...
متن کاملThe Bar–Halo Interaction–II. Secular evolution and the religion of N-body simulations
This paper explores resonance-driven secular evolution between a bar and dark-matter halo using N-body simulations. We make direct comparisons to our analytic theory (Weinberg & Katz 2005) to demonstrate the great difficulty that an N-body simulation has representing these dynamics for realistic astronomical interactions. In a darkmatter halo, the bar’s angular momentum is coupled to the centra...
متن کاملEnabling Learning by Teaching: Intuitive Composing of E-Learning Modules
In an effort to foster learning by teaching, we propose the development of a canvas system that makes composing e-learning modules intuitive. We try to empower and liberate non-technical module users by lowering the bar for turning them into module authors, a bar previously set far too high. In turn, this stimulates learning through teaching. By making a damn fine piece of software, we furtherm...
