...condemned by every syllable she ever uttered,
by law she should be taken out and hung,
for the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue...

 


Attempting his utmost to dribble social chatter without informing, a tall distinguished looking man stood to the side of the large room, fending off inquisitive females unaided, until his uniformed companion intervened offering a glass of champagne.


Scrambling retroactively to piece together the presidential visit, the only live footage available from the networks was a pony-tailed, smudge-faced XXX wearing a baseball cap as she ascended XXXX's airstairs. Turning briefly to acknowledge the spontaneous hoots and cheers of military personnel who caught a glimpse of their cammied XXX, the image of her wave in full battle fatigues was carried by every wire service, ultimately landing the cover of XXX and XXX.


Spread out on sofas and club chairs, she sat in a less comfortable armchair, placing a folder down on the coffee table before being seated.


If something is objectively of equal importance in terms of both similarity with a type and differentiation from it, we will be more conscious of the differentiation.


XXX had ongoing and continuous contact with actual and potential community mental health, substance abuse providers and statewide healthcare systems partners for the purposes of operational and clinical delivery assessment and potential system redesign to ensure capacity and capability to function successfully within a consumer driven, outcomes oriented, clinical effective and resource efficient environment.


Due to the spam filtering imperfections sometimes opt-in email campaigns, newsletters and other broadcast communications are affected in a negative manor.


Findings indicate that homicides with white female victims were more likely to result in death sentences compared to other victim race-gender dyads. We posit that the response to white female victim homicides may be unique from other homicides, resulting in differential sentencing outcomes.


Facilitated by its massive numbers, geographic proximity and a new, ongoing process of dispersal to different regions of the national territory, Mexican immigration is producing fundamental, everyday life transformations in new localities and their multiple arenas of social interaction; changes that endure, make history, and energize societies.


Hildreth's is one of the only remaining family-owned early department stores still in existence...


All were located in close proximity to the rear of the farmhouse, close to the kitchen door.


The population of New Netherland was only about 50% Dutch, the other half having been of other national and ethnic origins. [and what else might the other 50 percent have been, another species?]


However in the manner that the SUNY enabling legislation structured community college finances, the legislature and Governor Dewey as a result of fiscal constraints, effectively limited the potential number and size of community colleges....


The few scant pieces of surviving evidence....


Structural imperatives and economic fluctuations have precluded many from accessing economic power, as the impoverished typically have limited contact with opportunity structures.


Between the work of community muralists and graffiti artists, blank unadorned walls were uncommon by the end of the 20th century.


The Lower East Side has since the end of the World War II and particularly after the 1960s become thoroughly associated since the era of the large wave of east European Jews who immigrated to the United States from the 1880s onward.


He died following the amputation of a leg wounded during the battle.


Because of the nonprobability sampling techniques used, this study can be seen to limit its generalizability.


Non-marital childbearing not formalized by marriage is the second most important component...


In the new millennium, cohabitation is an important component in the totality of partnerships in most European nations.


Soham murder house ... where schoolgirls Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells were killed was razed to the ground.


Our goal and raison d'etre in this volume...


The question for policy is this: given the fragmentation and temporal variation in the provision of the parental function by the contemporary family, what is the most constructive response of policy?


Levels of cohabitation and childbearing outside marriage tend to be in accord, with countries with high levels of cohabitation having higher rates of nonmarital childbearing and vice versa.


Because different causal mechanisms may underlie different types of crime such analyses would also benefit from examination of specific trajectories of specific types of crime at places. It may be for example, that homicide trajectories at places differ markedly from those we observed here, though of course such studies might encounter new problems in defining trajectories when the occurrence of such crime events is relatively rare at micro units of analysis. Though for our purposes, focusing on general trends, such as those represented by stable, increasing and decreasing trajectories has allowed us to examine assumptions underlying hot spots approaches more directly, more specific analyses of the form or geography of specific trajectories may also lead to significant new insights about crime at place.


While the police may affect social disorganization at crime places by reinforcing forces of social organization and social control, the social disorganization perspective suggests emphasis on a much broader set of policies than increased police attention. If the primary causal mechanism underlying crime trajectories can be found in such factors as single family households, racial heterogeneity and economic deprivation, all linked to the social disorganization perspective, then a much wider set of social interventions would be required to change the form of trajectories at crime hot spots.


These results certainly support the relevance of crime salience, inasmuch as the perception that crime is violent and both concern about and fear of crime significantly predict support for punitiveness in many of our estimates. But our results linking punitive attitudes to the racial typification of crime suggest that there may be a racial overlay to the crime salience issue. Indeed, it is when concern about crime and the perception that crime is violent are "low" that racial typification of crime is a significant predictor of punitiveness. In these contexts a racialized crime threat may substituting for a generalized threat that is presumed by crime salience. The relationship demonstrated here between the racial typification of crime and punitiveness is consistent with the mechanism of "essentialism" that — has shown to be an instrumental moment in the politics of "exclusion." The belief that "others" are essentially different from oneself or one's own group "allows people to believe in their own superiority while being able to demonize the other, as essentially wicked, stupid or criminal". Indeed, the racial typification of crime essentializes...


A multivariate analysis of the independent effect of each of the illegal gun trafficking indicators on time-to-crime was conducted to examine whether the trafficking indicators we identified remained significant predictors controlling for the effects of the other factors. As with the bivariate analysis, the indicator variables are examined in terms of their substantive/temporal position in the process of illegally diverting guns from legitimate firearms commerce to the ultimate possessors of the crime gun. The independent effects of individual trafficking indicators (along with the effects of control variables) on time-to-crime are assessed in terms of the substantive/temporal category in which they enter the illegal firearms diversion process. This also enables us to examine to what extent the effects of individual indicators are mediated by the addition of later indicator variables that operate at later stages in the process of the illegal diversion of firearms. However, we examine overall effect of each independent variable in terms of the last stage in the analysis that includes each of the independent variables.


Very low fertility in advanced countries today is the outcome of a conflict or inconsistency between high gender equity in individual-oriented institutions and sustained gender inequity in family-oriented institutions. The implication is that higher levels of gender equity in family institutions are necessary to avoid very low fertility.
