Dialectic method and with the support of citations
Assignment Help Custom Essay
Using the dialectic method and with the support of citations, argue for against one of the following authors on the topic associated: Aquinas on God, Anselm on God, Paley on God (vs. Hume), Mackie against God (Problem of Evil Argument), Mill's Utilitarianism, or Kantian Ethics.
In a second document I will break down Mill and Kant. What follows is a breakdown -take it or leave it - of the God arguments.
A citation is not necessarily a quote. If you quote, discuss the quote.
Take an argument of Mackie, Anselm, Aquinas, or Paley, present it, then evaluate it in the same manner as with other dialectic essays. Pay close attention to the format , consulting my Dialectic essay handouts. Feel free to cite not only the author whose argument you have chosen, but the opponent of that author's position. Notice that for each of the authors, there is an opponent; they
are paired off that way in the text.
Anselm also has a built in opponent, Gaunilon, written into his selection in dialog form.
Below I give you synoptic accounts of the arguments.
Problem of Evil Argument (Mackie):
God does not exist, because if he did, then the world would not have superfluous evil in it. But in fact it does. God is supposedly all knowing, all powerful, and all good. Having these traits seems to rule out allowing superfluous evil.
Anselm: God exists by definition, because the claim that God does not exist is a contradiction:
"The necessarily existent being does not exist".
Defining God as necessarily existent is fair, because that is exactly what people are thinking of when they are thinking of God. And it is not a non-sensical notion.
Aquinas's causal argument (especially characterized by his "Third Way"):
The world exists.
The world's existence requires an existing explanatory principle that cannot be found in the world.
Therefore (subconclusion) the world requires an existing explanatory principle that exists out side the world.
The only thing that could exist outside the world is God.
Therefore, God exists.
Definition: the world is the collection of finite or limited beings.
Definition: God is the unlimited being.
Design argument (Paley)
Things in the world have infinitely intricate detail.
Infinitely intricate detail cannot be by coincidence.
Therefore (subconslusion) infinitely intricate detail must be by design.
The only thiong that could design inifinitely intricate detail is an infinite designer.
An infinite designer would have to be the unlimited being, God.
Make sure you pick out the premises and conclusion of these arguments.
Some of these have been stated discursively, conclusion first. Others have been stated schematically, conclusion last.

Book Review - Amber and Clay
The Newbery Medal–winning author of Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! gives readers a virtuoso performance in verse in this profoundly original epic pitched just right for fans of poetry, history, mythology, and fantasy.
Welcome to ancient Greece as only genius storyteller Laura Amy Schlitz can conjure it. In a warlike land of wind and sunlight, "ringed by a restless sea," live Rhaskos and Melisto, spiritual twins with little in common beyond the violent and mysterious forces that dictate their lives. A Thracian slave in a Greek household, Rhaskos is as common as clay, a stable boy worth less than a donkey, much less a horse. Wrenched from his mother at a tender age, he nurtures in secret, aided by Socrates, his passions for art and philosophy. Melisto is a spoiled aristocrat, a girl as precious as amber but willful and wild. She'll marry and be tamed—the curse of all highborn girls—but risk her life for a season first to serve Artemis, goddess of the hunt.
Bound by destiny, Melisto and Rhaskos—Amber and Clay—never meet in the flesh. By the time they do, one of them is a ghost. But the thin line between life and death is just one boundary their unlikely friendship crosses. It takes an army of snarky gods and fearsome goddesses, slaves and masters, mothers and philosophers to help shape their story into a gorgeously distilled, symphonic tour de force.
Blending verse, prose, and illustrated archaeological "artifacts," this is a tale that vividly transcends time, an indelible reminder of the power of language to illuminate the over- and underworlds of human history.
This was a wonderfully written book! The story captures your attention from beginning to end. The characters are flushed out well and you really feel that you can connect well with these characters. The book has a mix of poetry and prose to create a piece of literature that is truly unique! If you enjoy Greek mythology this is a book that you will love. The author also really takes you on a journey through time as the story plays out which makes the story memorable.

Q: How to close child browser window in Selenium WebDriver using Java After I switch to a new window and complete the task, I want to close that new window and switch to the old window,
so here i written like code:
// Perform the click operation that opens new window

String winHandleBefore = driver.getWindowHandle();

    // Switch to new window opened

    for (String winHandle : driver.getWindowHandles()) {
        driver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
    }

    // Perform the actions on new window

    driver.findElement(By.id("edit-name")).clear();
    WebElement userName = driver.findElement(By.id("edit-name"));
    userName.clear();
              try
    {
        driver.quit();
    }

    catch(Exception e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
        System.out.println("not close");
                }

driver.switchTo().window(winHandleBefore);// Again I want to start code this old window

Above I written code driver.quit() or driver.close(). But I am getting error. Can anybody help me...?

org.openqa.selenium.remote.SessionNotFoundException: The FirefoxDriver cannot be used after quit() was called.

A: To close a single browser window:
driver.close();

To close all (parent+child) browser windows and end the whole session:
driver.quit();

A: The logic you've used for switching the control to popup is wrong
 for (String winHandle : driver.getWindowHandles()) {
        driver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
    }

How the above logic will swtich the control to new window ?

Use below logic to switch the control to new window
// get all the window handles before the popup window appears
 Set beforePopup = driver.getWindowHandles();

// click the link which creates the popup window
driver.findElement(by).click();

// get all the window handles after the popup window appears
Set afterPopup = driver.getWindowHandles();

// remove all the handles from before the popup window appears
afterPopup.removeAll(beforePopup);

// there should be only one window handle left
if(afterPopup.size() == 1) {
          driver.switchTo().window((String)afterPopup.toArray()[0]);
 }

// Perform the actions on new window
  **`//Close the new window`**
    driver.close();

//perform remain operations in main window
   //close entire webDriver session
    driver.quit();

A: //store instance of main window first using below code
String winHandleBefore = driver.getWindowHandle();

Perform the click operation that opens new window
//Switch to new window opened
for (String winHandle : driver.getWindowHandles()) {
    driver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
}

// Perform the actions on new window
driver.close(); //this will close new opened window

//switch back to main window using this code
driver.switchTo().window(winHandleBefore);

// perform operation then close and quit
driver.close();
driver.quit();

A: There are 2 ways to close the single child window:
Way 1:
driver.close();

Way 2: By using Ctrl+w keys from keyboard:
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL + "w");

A: I've also tried
1)driver.close();
2)driver.quit();
apparently, these methods don't work as expected!(not saying it don't work though) I've even tried making the driver class singleton and it didn't help me with running test cases parallel.so it was also not the optimal solution.finally, i came up creating a separate class to run a bat file.which the bat file contains commands of grouping all the chrome driver process and all the child processes of it.and from the java class I've executed it using Runtime.
The class file that runs the bat file
public class KillChromeDrivers {

    public static void main(String args[]) {

        try {

            Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start E:\\Work_Folder\\SelTools\\KillDrivers.bat");
            //Runtime.getRuntime().exec()
        } catch (Exception ex) {

        }
    }

}

The command that you have to put in the [ .bat ] file
taskkill /IM "chromedriver.exe" /T /F

A: There are some instances where a window will close itself after a valid window handle has been obtained from getWindowHandle() or getWindowHandles().
There is even a possibility that a window will close itself while getWindowHandles() is running, unless you create some critical section type code (ie freeze the browser while running the test code, until all window management operations are complete)
A quicker way to check the validity of the current driver is to check the sessionId, which is made null by driver.close() or by the window closing itself.
The WebDriver needs to be cast to the remote driver interface (RemoteWebDriver) in order to obtain the sessionId, as follows:
if (null == ((RemoteWebDriver)driver).sessionId) {
    // current window is closed, switch to another or quit
} else {
    // current window is open, send commands or close
}

Also note that closing the last window is equivalent to quit().

A: public class First {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Welcome to Selenium");
        WebDriver wd= new FirefoxDriver();
        wd.manage().window().maximize();
        wd.get("http://opensource.demo.orangehrmlive.com/");
        wd.findElement(By.id("txtUsername")).sendKeys("Admin");
        wd.findElement(By.id("txtPassword")).sendKeys("admin");
        wd.findElement(By.id("btnLogin")).submit();
        **wd.quit(); //--> this helps to close the web window automatically**
        System.out.println("Tested Sucessfully ");
    }
}

Anthony Caro Table Piece CCCLXXXVIII 1977 © Barford Sculptures Limited
Nationality English
Birth place Surrey
Death place London
Born in London, Caro studied engineering before attending the Royal Academy Schools in London. From 1951 to 1953 he worked as an assistant to Henry Moore, and made figurative bronzes influenced by Moore. In 1959 Caro spent several months in the USA. There, he met David Smith, whose welded sculpture inspired him to use industrial metals and welding in his own work. Caro made large, abstract compositions as well as smaller 'Table Piece' sculptures. Through teaching at St Martin's School of Art in London from 1953 to 1979, Caro exerted a major influence on a new generation of sculptors.
Caro had a conservative training at the Royal Academy Schools in London, but later was greatly influenced by time spent with Henry Moore. He is known for his abstract metal sculpture made of industrial parts typically painted a single color.

Hyperthyroidism is the most common hormone disorder of cats. It is caused by growths within the thyroid gland that are overactive, leading to excess thyroid hormone in the body. Thyroid growths are usually benign but can be malignant in rare cases.
Common symptoms of hyperthyroidism include hyperactivity, weight loss and hunger. Some cats will become more vocal, thirsty and may also urinate more than usual. Occasionally, cats will not show any symptoms of hyperthyroidism but the disorder can be detected on wellness testing by your veterinarian.
Fortunately for your cat, this is a very treatable problem with 1-131 (radio-iodine) therapy is a form of nuclear medicine used to cure feline hyperthyroidism. This is a very simple, safe, and highly effective treatment. The vast majority of cats treated with I-131 will be cured of hyperthyroidism.
The thyroid gland is the only part of the body that uses iodine, a nutrient that is essential to synthesize thyroid hormones. I-131 is a form of iodine that is radioactive. I-131 is given by injection and circulates in the blood until it is taken into the thyroid gland. In hyperthyroid cats, the cells within the abnormal nodules are actively making an abundance of thyroid hormone, but the normal thyroid tissue is suppressed and not making any thyroid hormone. Therefore only the cells within the nodules will absorb the radioactive iodine. Once inside the abnormal thyroid cells, the radiation goes to work to destroy the abnormal cells. Small amounts of radiation will be emitted from your cat during the treatment, therefore strict isolation in our facility is required to keep everyone safe. Once the level of radioactivity is below a certain limit, usually within a few days, the cats are safe to go home.

Convivium catches up with House of Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer on dealing with MPs who turn Parliament into adult daycare
The Conversation August 1, 2014 | By Andrew Scheer
Convivium: The first thing that strikes many people about you is that you are a very young executive. You look very young. Against a formidable opponent, you won an election and began serving at the age of 24 in 2004. Why did you decide to run?
Andrew Scheer: I remember being interested in politics from a very young age. An early memory of current events and international affairs was when I had a paper route, and I think it was the Boxing Day edition. The front-page story was the execution of Nicolae Ceausescu of Romania. As I was bundling my papers to deliver them, I was very intrigued that a leader could be overthrown in a very violent way by his own army, his own people rising up against him. I remember asking my parents a lot of questions about what that meant, why that was happening there, could it happen here, that type of thing.
The NDP's Anti-Labour Paradox
How Friendship Builds Civilization
Standing Up For Trinity Western's Board
That led me down a path of being interested in governments and how people choose governments and how different countries govern themselves. It started me on a path of reading about political issues in the media. I remember the 1988 U.S. presidential elections. I would have been nine years old. I knew from a very young age it was something I wanted to do, and in high school I started volunteering with a local political party's riding association and that really was a great experience. You get to meet like-minded people who are all working towards the same goal and who believe in many of the same things. Politics in Canada, as I am sure in most places, is all about getting to know a group of people who share the same interests.
That is what led me to decide to run myself. I had worked for Stephen Harper when he was Leader of the Opposition. When I came out to Saskatchewan, I was working on a provincial election campaign that was unsuccessful, but the team we had put together got along very well. A candidate I had worked for said to me, "You seemed to enjoy the campaign and did very well at the doors.... Why don't you run and we'll all work for you?" He finally convinced me to take the plunge. That's how I ended up putting my name on the ballot.
C: Just to summarize, you got your start in democratic politics by reading about the assassination of Nicolae Ceausescu on Christmas Day 1989?
AS: It prompted a lot of questions, and my parents explained why it likely wouldn't happen here. It taught me the value of having democratic institutions and the value of the Western, and especially the British, parliamentary system. Learning why we don't have to worry about things like that gave me an appreciation for the gift we have in Canada of a democratic, mature, functioning parliamentary system.
C: When you ran in 2004, you were running against the incumbent NDP MP Lorne Nystrom, who had been in Parliament 30 years or more. Did you think you would win?
AS: Yeah, I thought I would win. I knew I would work hard, and I knew I had a good team — a small but dedicated team. When I got the nomination, we had about $800 in the war chest and eight or nine volunteers. I really thought that my experience in Ottawa, working for a political party and knowing how to put a campaign together, would give me a good shot.
C: You were newly married at the time, right?
AS: Right. I was married in 2003.
C: Did your wife share your confidence or did she think this was sort of a two-month adventure for Andrew and then he'd settle down to do something more conventional?
AS: She was very supportive. We've had conversations since where she's acknowledged she didn't really realize what she might have signed up for. You present everything in stages. I went to her and said, "I am thinking about running for the nomination," so she had a few questions about what that would involve. When you win the nomination, it's only then that you turn your mind to what it would mean if you actually win the election.
C: There's no shortage of stories of MPs whose families break apart after election to Parliament because of the pressures of political life, including the travel especially from western Canada. How did you handle that particular issue and what might be done to make parliamentary service more compatible with family life?
AS: I have heard some of the stories. We always pray those types of situations won't arise in our lives. For us, the advantage was that I got elected so quickly after being married. I didn't have a young family and then become an MP and have to make huge adjustments. As we were having children, travelling back and forth to Ottawa was already kind of normal for us. We had children after establishing a household in Ottawa and a household in Regina. It wasn't that we had a set routine with expectations of dad being home at 5:30 every day and then were suddenly ripped out of that.
The other thing we've done is that we've really tried to minimize the number of week where we are apart. That might mean that Jill and the kids will come up for two to three weeks in a row or that I will be away from them just before a break and then home on the break week. That helps, especially since becoming Speaker, where it's a little bit tougher to get home on the weekends. Jill has become much more involved in the spouses' association, and they really do provide a lot of support for each other. When she is in Ottawa, she doesn't feel that she is taken away from her family and friends in Regina with no support network in Ottawa.
I think there is more that can be done with the parties if we could come together and identify extra pressures, maybe unnecessary pressures that are put on family life. That might mean having votes at more predictable times so that if members need to get away for an important family event, they know that a vote on legislation won't be held on that day. Right now, the voting can be unpredictable, so parties keep their MPs in Ottawa much more.
Sometimes families will come up to spend time with the member and then there's a vote at seven o'clock at night. Family suppers get disrupted and members can't spend time with their families even when they are in town. There are things Parliament could look at that are not unique to one caucus or another, or it's not an ideological thing. We are all in the same boat. We are all away from our families or have our families visiting. What can we all agree on not to give the government or the opposition an advantage tactically in the House but that makes it a little more humane on a group of people that have to travel twice a week?
C: At the age of 32, you were probably the second or third youngest Speaker in British parliamentary history. What is your experience as someone who had enough confidence to be elected Speaker at such a young age? And how do you respond to the person in the street who has disdain for what goes on in the House?
AS: The House always looks for a Speaker who has respect from all parties. I did serve as deputy speaker for a number of years, where I really focused on building relationships with members of other caucuses, not just my own. When you first get elected, you're in your caucus; that's your team and you go into battle every day, but I really saw the importance of the Speaker and deputy speakers and other chairs being able to bridge that divide and look not at the partisan differences but at how we can all share the same goal, which is to improve our government and make Canada the best country in the world. We agree on the what; we don't agree on the how. By focusing on what we do agree on, I found myself able to build relationships with members of the Liberal and NDP caucuses.
In terms of the public's perspective of Parliament, some of that is probably deserved when bad things happen, when people lose their cool or things are said that shouldn't be said. I do think that sometimes there's an emphasis on the negative and that you can have several weeks go by where the debate is intelligent, where the points made in Question Period are substantial, good questions and good answers, and none of that will get reported.
When a member loses his temper or uses unparliamentary language or makes an outrageous accusation, that's the thing that gets attention. Weeks of smooth sailing can be undone by one or two more volatile days in the House. The impression at the top of the public mind is that this is normal. My experience is that most members, whether at the committee level or even in the House, have a lot of respect for each other and for the process. Outside of Question Period, the debate is often on point, on substance, and the questions back and forth to each other are much less personal.
We always use the expression the media don't report on all the planes that land. They just report on the ones that don't land. That is true in politics as well. The controversies are the things that get the most attention; that is unfortunate. It has been a wonderfully positive place to work most of the time. I find that I get a lot of cooperation with different members and with each caucus trying to improve the tone of debate.
C: If you want to put it provocatively, we say that as a Christian you should desire to put yourself in positions to bring out your virtues and not your vices, right? Does the House of Commons bring out MPs' virtues or does it tempt them to acknowledge their vices?
AS: By entering in the public life....
C: The Chamber, not public life.
AS: The Chamber is a dynamic place. No two days are the same; and even throughout the day, the place changes. Yes, there are times when you can see the temptation to take the bait on an accusation that may have been thrown at you, but it is a place where a lot of good can be done and where people who are virtuous and have passionate beliefs on important issues can stand as an example for others.
More than a place where it might draw people's vices [laughter], it is an opportunity for members to be an example of a good citizen. They come to Ottawa to participate in a democratic process at the highest level and to advocate for their riding or for their beliefs.
C: Most of the time that you've been in politics, there has been a sense that people who seek to enter into the public life, or advance in public life, might have to trim or even hide their faith. You would be a counter-example, but are you the exception that proves the rule or do you think there are lessons from your experience that might encourage others in public life to be public about their faith?
AS: I don't know. I really cannot speak to anybody else's experience. I know there are pressures in just about every walk of life on matters of faith and how that fits in with any number of careers, any number of personal situations. I have never seen it as a problem. I've never had it viewed in any negative way. It is something I identified with early on in my life and didn't make any changes when I decided to enter into elected office, and it certainly hasn't been an issue for me at all. In fact, in my case it has been a positive. As you know, I started the St. Thomas More Society on the Hill and that was very well received. We've had participation from every caucus at one point or another.
C: More is famous for many things, but he was actually Speaker of the House of Commons. Are there any insights that you have from his life as Speaker? Are there things about his speakership in Westminster that have attracted your attention?
AS: Not just as Speaker, but as a person in political life. I think what St. Thomas did was identify a line he could not cross; he knew the boundary of his flexibility and his pragmatism. He knew very early on that there was a certain point he could not go past. Ahead of that, he was very willing to try to find a way of carrying out the king's wishes. In fact, he was willing to taken certain oaths but not other oaths, depending on what the oath said.
He wasn't looking for the fight. He wasn't looking to become a martyr. He was looking for a way out that would satisfy his conscience but also get him through the quagmire he was in. That is the important part. It didn't end well on this earth for St. Thomas. For any politician, whatever the situation you find yourself in, if you define early on what your conscience can accommodate, make that decision early and just stick to that, any politician on any issue will be well served on those matters of profound personal importance. St. Thomas had a very good understanding of the matter and what the Church taught about it, and he was willing to go a long way, but he just couldn't go past a certain point.
C: Would you say then that the earlier you decide in politics, the better off you are?
AS: I would. There are different kinds of situations, and politics is the art of compromise. The entire dynamic in a parliamentary system is finding consensus on issues and finding solutions that satisfy a large number of people. You are bound to find yourself in positions where you're asked to compromise or to accept something that you may not normally want to advance. It is important to know the difference between policies you might support, policies you might not support, and matters that define who you are as a person, what you believe in and what you might have to answer for when you face the ultimate test. I think Canadians have respect for that; I think your colleagues have respect for that.
C: One final question. What part of being Speaker do you enjoy the most?
AS: I have to say the dynamic of the Chamber in Question Period. The Leader of the Opposition, the leader of the third party, the Prime Minister, since they're all talking to me, they all say "Mr. Speaker." That's part of our tradition — to maintain that degree of separation so it is a little more civil and a little bit less personal. It is a very unique perspective, as the major issues of the day are being discussed and debated, to be the focal point as Speaker.
I also really enjoy meeting a wide range of interesting people, whether it's foreign Speakers, foreign heads of government or parliamentary delegations, and getting to meet with my counterparts from around the world and seeing how each system is a little bit different.
Although we come from very different histories, politically and culturally, you can see that human bond between all of us because we're all answerable to our populations. Human beings generally want the same things. We all just have different approaches on how to do that.
C: Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Andrew Scheer is a Canadian Member of Parliament who served as Speaker of the House of Commons from 2011 to 2015.

Jails are one means of incarceration used in the U.S. criminal justice system. This lesson explains the role of jails, the difference between jails and prisons, and some challenges jail administrators face.
Prisons vs. Jails
In the United States, there are approximately two million inmates in our correctional facilities on any given day. More than 700 thousand of those people are sitting in jails, while the rest are doing time in prison. Think of it this way. While the entire population of San Diego does time in prison, the entire population of Detroit sits in jail.
Jails and prisons are not the same thing. A prison is an incarceration facility run by the state or federal government and used for long-term confinement. When an offender is convicted of a crime and given a sentence, that sentence will usually be served in a prison.
A jail, on the other hand, is an incarceration facility normally run by local government and used as a temporary holding facility. Jails are usually run by county sheriff's departments. They are mostly used when an offender was:
recently arrested and has not yet been charged with a crime
recently arrested and charged with a crime but has not been released on bail
convicted of a crime and given a sentence of less than one year
For example, let's say Darren is arrested for driving while intoxicated. He's taken to jail immediately after his arrest. Darren spends the night in jail, but after he sees a judge, he's released on bond. However, a few months later, Darren's convicted at his trial. He is sentenced to two years. Darren will serve that time in prison.
Role of Jails
Jails are an indispensable part of our criminal justice system. They serve many different roles. As you know, jails hold inmates while they await charges, trial or sentencing. Jails also:
hold offenders who have violated probation or parole and had probation or parole revoked
temporarily hold offenders who have been sentenced to prison time when prisons are too overcrowded to accept new inmates
hold mentally ill offenders while those offenders await transfer to a mental health facility
hold juvenile offenders while those offenders await transfer to an appropriate juvenile correctional facility
hold intoxicated persons in 'drunk tanks,' usually overnight, in order to sober up or to be charged with a crime, such as public intoxication
There are many different types of jails, and the roles vary between types. As we've discussed, most jails are run by the county. However, many jails are run by the city or town in which they are located. A few jails are even privately owned and operated through contracts with local governments. The type and size of the jail dictates how many and what type of offenders the jail will house.
For instance, some states use a state unified system, which means the jails and prisons are integrated and operated by the state government. These correctional facilities tend to be larger than average. In these states, one facility might hold both those offenders awaiting trial and those convicted offenders who are serving sentences. This is similar to federal jails, known as metropolitan correctional centers, which are large correctional facilities that house federal offenders awaiting trial and inmates serving sentences after conviction of a federal offense.
Administrative Issues
The size of the jail and number of inmates also dictates the type of challenges jail administrators face. A jail administrator is similar to a prison warden. The jail administrator is responsible for managing and supervising all operations of the jail.
Knowing the various roles of a jail, you can see how this job requires an understanding of business administration, personnel management, public funding, the correctional system, institutional psychology and general health. It's a demanding job!
Jail administrators often find the jail design to be challenging. By design, jails are less developed than prisons. Prisons are designed to hold inmates for a number of years, so those facilities include areas such as infirmaries, cafeterias, study halls, exercise and work areas. Jails, on the other hand, are designed to be temporary holding facilities and often lack these extra areas.
Jail administrators are also challenged by the transient and diverse nature of the jail population. Because inmates come and go on a daily basis, the jail population is ever-changing. Guards have little time to adjust to new personalities and must adjust their security tactics depending on how many inmates they have each day.
Also keep in mind, jails don't typically have separate areas in which to house different types of offenders. Females are kept separate from males, and juveniles are kept separate from adults. Other than that, jails don't usually have separate areas in order to keep violent offenders from non-violent offenders or to otherwise categorize inmates. This certainly presents security challenges for jail administrators.
One study asked jail administrators to identify a few of their top challenges. Some of these challenges included recruiting, hiring and retaining quality employees; providing sufficient medical and mental health care to inmates; lacking sufficient technology and funding; and controlling overcrowding.
Let's review. A prison is an incarceration facility run by state or federal government and used for long-term confinement. A jail is an incarceration facility normally run by local government and used as a temporary holding facility. Jails are usually run by the county.
Jails are used when an offender was recently arrested and has not yet been charged with a crime, was charged with a crime but has not been released on bail, or convicted of a crime and given a sentence of less than one year. Jails are also sometimes used to hold intoxicated people, probation or parole violators, or convicted offenders who are waiting for space to open in overcrowded prisons.
Some states use a state unified system, where jails and prisons are integrated and operated by the state government and hold both those offenders awaiting trial and those convicted offenders who are serving sentences. This is like the federal system's metropolitan correctional centers.
Jail administrators are responsible for managing and supervising all operations of the jail and face many different challenges including recruiting, hiring and retaining quality employees; providing sufficient health care to inmates; lacking technology and funding; and controlling overcrowding.
After you've completed this lesson, you should be able to:
Differentiate between prisons and jails
Describe the roles and types of jails
Explain challenges that jail administrators face and why these challenges exist

Once installed, Xubuntu only requires 64MB of RAM to run. Of course, installing it with 192MB of RAM and running it with only 64MB means that you either temporarily insert some RAM into the computer or swap out the harddrive to a computer with more RAM. Either way, some IT shoehorning is required if you do not have 192MB of RAM.
Once you have checked your system against Ubuntu's system requirements, you are ready to install Ubuntu.

How to grow back your eyebrows at home?
In the last few years eyebrows given special attention. And if earlier the fashion was more subtle, and now all the girls are keen to grow their natural shape and thickness. It would seem, just enough to stop plucking, but not always so simple. So follow our tips and the result will not keep itself waiting.
On a beautiful wide eyebrows now a dream of many girls. Often they can grow in just a few months. But this can only be achieved following the basic rules.
Perhaps the first rule that is neglected by many girls is a complete rejection of tweezers. You can even throw it away or give it to someone else. Remember that the hairs grow back, if not to pluck for at least a month, and preferably two.
Of course, it can be quite difficult to hold back when eyebrows start to grow. But believe me, the result is really worth it.
If brows look very groomed, it is recommended to visit a wizard that will help you choose the best form. But be sure to note that you are in the process of sprouting. Then the correction you will demonstrate what you need to pay attention and from which hairs to get rid of, so as not to spoil the shape.
Dealing every day of different cosmetics, it is very important to take care of the proper cleansing of the skin. Of course, it is necessary to use micellar water and foam to remove makeup residue. Pay attention to the skin under the eyebrows, because it must also be clear.
We also recommend to visit a beautician, who will pick up you money, starting from the condition of the skin. For example, someone may need peels with acids, while others should just change the cream. This not only will cause the skin in a more tidy condition, but will also help the growth of eyebrows.
If desired, after removing makeup, apply on the eyebrow oil by using cotton swabs. But it is important that in the morning thoroughly clean the excess oil to clog up pores.
Many are surprised with the fact that for the growth of eyebrows need a regular massage. It is best to repeat this procedure at least three times a week. Due to this, the hairs will be stronger.
That the procedure was most effective, take a tooth brush or comb for eyebrows and apply literally a drop of castor or burdock oil. A neat, circular motions to massage your eyebrows for several minutes. Then a bit of massaging them with your fingers, to the hair were more saturated.
Every day should be brushed, not only hair but also eyebrows. Through such effects, you can easily ensure blood flow to follicles that will stimulate their growth.
By the way, some masters advise even to put on their air conditioning or balm. Because of this, they will become more soft.
Surely you know that the condition of the hair and skin is a reflection of the state of our health. Therefore, if you notice that the eyebrows or the hair has thinned, it is an occasion to reflect on the theme of food. Too strict diets or the frequent consumption of sweets, fast food is a taboo for those who care about their health.
Your diet must be meat, fish, cereals, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Each product has a different group of vitamins, so allow yourself frequent their consumption.
In the autumn-winter period, many girls suffer from brittle nails, as well as from a significant loss of hair and eyebrows. This is often due to a lack of vitamins in the body. In this case, it can be a time to take specially designed vitamins for hair, skin and nails. They contain calcium, which has the main impact on them. But before purchasing them, it is recommended to pass complex tests, and consult a doctor.
The modern market offers many different tools for the growth of eyebrows. While there is not only budget, but also very expensive, which can afford not each. It should be noted that such expenditure is not always justified. So how to restore hair growth even simple folk remedies.
Most popular is the castor and burdock oil. Also you can add some coconut to make the hair a bit more soft and manageable. Mixing them immediately before application or purchase a special bottle and prepare in advance. After careful cleansing, apply the mixture of oils on your eyebrows with a cotton swab.
You can also apply other natural oils that have additional properties. For example, peach seed oil is very popular. This is not surprising because it not only strengthens hair and promotes their growth, but also gives them a darker shade.
Those who are not suffering from a shortage of time, you can experiment and make a special broth for the growth of eyebrows on the basis of chamomile. Apply it to a cotton swab several times a day. Unlike oils it does not clog pores.
Of course, if you don't want to do home remedies, you can find quite a lot of unique among the known brands for care. This is a different serum, mascara and other tools, which accelerate the growth of eyebrows.
Often they contain various minerals, vitamins and even dietary supplements. Therefore, before using be sure to read the instructions and note the section with contraindications. After all, if you use a large amount or just wrong, it can lead to tragic consequences.
To choose the right tool that will help to grow your eyebrows is not difficult. But do not forget that a lot depends on your power and morale. So take care of yourself, use the above tips and the result will be very soon.
What do you use for eyebrow growth?

Cats are considered to be the most popular pets in the world. Sharing the home with a cat is very rewarding. As such most homes would have not only one cat but several because one pert cat would not be enough for a cat lover. This goes to show that cats indeed make not only good but excellent pets.
Cats' association with humans started thousands of years ago. Cats were worshiped as gods by the early Egyptians because of these animals' mysterious and otherworldly personality. Cats these days may no longer enjoy the kind of veneration accorded by the rulers of ancient Egypt but there is no doubt that cats are one of the most loved pets. For a cat lover, cats would win over any other animals hands down! But anyone that has never had the opportunity to have cats for a pet or never had the chance to live with cats would ask why these furry felines make good pets. Why do cats make good pets?
Cats are the most ideal choice for a pet in today's household. Cats have the reputation for being self-reliant animals. Due to the demand of modern lifestyle, most pet parents do not have ample time to devote to the pet. Pets are generally left alone at home all day. Dogs that are left at home with no toys or no one to play with will become bored. Bored dogs tend to develop destructive habits. This is not so with cats. A cat owner can leave the pet alone all day without worrying that the pet would get bored and spend its day being destructive. Cats do miss their owners but being independent animals, cats would know how to amuse themselves. After grooming for hours, the cat would either sleep or spend the day looking out of the window. Cats, unlike dogs, are less demanding of the owner's attentions. Cats are less active and would not need to be regularly walked to expend excess energies. This makes cats suitable companions of aging pet owners.
Cats are low maintenance pets. Cat foods, even the well-known brands are very affordable. Cats are hardy pets probably because these animals tend to stay indoors thus aside from the occasional vet visit, cat owners would not need to spend too much for the pet's medical bills. A piece of paper tied to a string would provide the pet hours of enjoyment. Owners would not need to purchase expensive toys for the pet. Aside from being clean animals, cats are notorious groomers. Pet parents, especially busy ones would not be saddled with the need to groom the pet frequently. It is not uncommon for cat lovers to be dog lovers too. This is why these two animals are commonly found in the same household. Not many pet lovers have the available space for dogs. Cats are suitable pets for people living in apartments. Aside from the size, cats, unlike dogs would not disturb the neighbors with their excessive barking.
Cats are often viewed as aloof animals. There is a common notion that cats view the owners only as meal tickets. Cats though have great measure of love to give. These fascinating animals would know when to stay unobtrusive and when to offer their comforting presence. One of the reasons why cats are attributed with mysterious personality is because they appear to know if the owner needs comforting. Cats may feign disinterest but these pets have the capability of showing their owners loads of love…the cat way.

The History of PQMD's Guidelines for Quality Medical Donations
In the mid-to-late 1990s, there was growing concern that donations of medical products were actually damaging the viability of host country healthcare programs. Despite much evidence of well-managed donation programs, there was increasing evidence that situations of natural disasters and wars created opportunity to dump unwanted, expired, even dangerous products into those environments. Global health interests were concerned that efforts to build universal formularies to manage pharmaceuticals in developing countries were being undermined by the shipment of brand-name products, expired products, "garbage bags" containing a disparity of sample drugs in two-tablet packaging. The World Health Organization, joined by the World Council of Churches and others, called for the establishment of international standards to guide the delivery of donated medical products.
In 1999, a small group of American manufacturers and non-profit organizations realized the importance of joining the discussion. They committed themselves to a process to create Guidelines and Standards that would reflect the best efforts of their programs and would also address concerns of the global health community. That informal, pioneering group that quickly became known as "The Partnership for Quality Medical Donations, Inc.," with an ever-growing membership, has taken seriously the importance of Standards to guide the donated medical product industry. In the intervening fifteen years, PQMD has demonstrated a continuing commitment to improve and implement "Standards" to guide the management of donated medical products and the performance of those who participate in this industry.
This 2019 edition of the PQMD Guidelines and Standards, approved by the PQMD Board of Directors in April of 2019, reflects the base of knowledge, experience and expectations of the membership for how medical product donations will be judged going forward. It is our hope that other organizations will join with the PQMD Member Companies and Non-Profit Organizations in using these Standards to guide their work in supplying donated medical products addressing needs being experienced by partners, in their own countries and globally.

This which is essentially Albel Nox's theme in Star Ocean Till The End of Time!
love this one. All ther Metroid music is amazing. But i seem to like this one more.
The Sonic series has some of the best songs in video games in my opinion. The classic tunes are super catchy (Flying Battery Zone, Metropolis Zone, Starlight Zone, etc). Even the newer games have good tunes, but in a different way. Cheesy lyrics ftw.
The Bit Trip series has some great music too.
The Call of Duty Black Ops 2 music. Is awesome.

Integrative Lyme Disease Treatment Program

Integrative Lyme Disease Treatment Program, Lyme, Lyme Disease, Wellness Center
Lyme disease is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected black-legged tick, also known as a deer tick. It is caused by the bacterium carried by this tick known as B. burgdorferi.
Although typically cured with antibiotic treatment, untreated Lyme disease can spread to the joints and other parts of the body causing mysterious symptoms that may be difficult to diagnose or mimic unrelated illness.
Early symptoms of Lyme disease include fever, headache, fatigue and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans.
Who Gets Lyme Disease?
Anyone can contract Lyme disease, but certain lifestyle factors and your location may influence your chances of coming into contact with the Lyme-carrying deer tick.
Most commonly diagnosed in the Northeast, Pacific Northwest and Upper Midwest of the United States, Lyme disease was first noted in Old Lyme, Connecticut in 1975.
Although Lyme Disease is most often contracted by campers, hikers, and those who spend time outdoors in wooded areas it is possible to contract Lyme Disease outside of these circumstances.
What Are The Symptoms of Lyme Disease?
The symptoms of Lyme disease will vary between individuals and are dependent on the stage of infection. Lyme Disease progresses in three stages. These stages of infection are referred to as:
The early localized stage
The early disseminated stage
Late disseminated Lyme disease
Early Localized Stage
Lyme disease is cured most easily if detected and diagnosed in the early localized stage.
A 14-21 day course of antibiotics may be prescribed in the early localized stage to treat the infection. It is crucial to be aware of symptoms during this early stage of infection, including:
A "bullseye" rash anywhere on the body, known as erythema migrans
These symptoms may occur between three and 30 days after transmission via the initial tick bite. In some patients, early signs of infection may overlap between stages 1 and 2.
It is important to monitor any potential symptoms of Lyme disease in the early stages of infection. As mentioned above, untreated Lyme disease can produce mysterious symptoms that are difficult to diagnose and often mimic other illnesses.
Later symptoms of infection may occur days to months after initial transmission. Left untreated, patients in Stage 3 Late disseminated Lyme disease may experience:
Severe headaches and neck stiffness
A spreading bullseye rash or other rashes on other areas of the body
Joint pain and arthritis, particularly in the knees
Bell's palsy, a facial paralysis including loss of muscle tone or a droop on one or both sides of the face
Pain in tendons, muscles, joints, or bones
Lyme carditis (heart palpitations or an irregular heartbeat)
Dizziness or shortness of breath
Possible inflammation of the brain and spinal cord
Neurological symptoms including numbness, tingling and shooting pains in the hands or feet
Problems with short-term memory
How Is Lyme Disease Diagnosed?
Lyme disease is most often diagnosed on the basis of these symptoms and physical findings including skin rash. In some cases, laboratory work will be conducted to confirm the diagnosis. Tests performed by your doctor to diagnose Lyme disease include:
ELISA(enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) This test is used to detect antibodies against B. burgdorferi.
If the ELISA test result is positive, a western blot may be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
If Lyme related arthritis is present, a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) may be performed using the joint or spinal fluid.
How Is Lyme Disease Treated?
Treatment of Lyme disease is dependant on the stage of infection. Early, localized Lyme disease is typically treated with a 14-21 day course of antibiotics.
In many instances, advanced cases of Lyme disease require treatment administered via intravenous antibiotics for 14-to-21 days.
Symptoms may linger after the infection is eliminated from the body, including joint pain.
While the cause of these lingering symptoms is not fully understood, it is thought to be related to an increased autoimmune response present in susceptible individuals.
Prevention: What Steps Can I Take To Avoid Contracting Lyme Disease?
To prevent Lyme disease, it is necessary to protect yourself from ticks and other insects.
Precautionary steps to take in the prevention of tick bites include using insect repellent, applying pesticides, avoiding certain habitats in which ticks are present and immediately removing any ticks found on your skin or clothing after brief or prolonged exposure to forests and wooded areas.

Taking artwork to the next level!
A student from the Philippines made her own graduation dress and it's so stunning, it has since gone viral.
Ciara Gan just graduated from high school and instead of buying something for the event, she and her mom decided to put together a unique dress that for sure will be remembered for a long time.
The dress which featured pleats and hand-painted flowers is now making the rounds on the internet, and it's safe to say the 17-year-old was hailed the queen of the ball.
Ciara told BuzzFeed News that it was her mom who inspired and pushed her to make the dress.
The student who is fond of science and art explained how she likes to try new things and decided to challenge herself by making her own graduation dress with only a month away from the event.
At first, she hired someone to make the design of the dress, however, she didn't like the result and decided to do it all herself, of course, with the help of her mom.
They bought 13 yards of fabric, crinoline, boning, and Swarovski crystals, and together they "sewed each panel of the skirt one by one," the student revealed.
She also explained that it took about five days to paint the flowers and that she decided to use orange colors after recently rereading the book "Tiger Lily" by Jodi Lynn Anderson.
I strayed away from basic roses and dainty florals because although they're pretty, they don't reflect my personality. I love the vibrancy of loud colors like orange and green — they speak more about who I am.
But the orange flowers are not the only thing which reflects her personality, as Ciara made sure the overall design of the dress to reflect her personality as well.
My inspiration for the design are the things that make me happy. As nerdy as it may sound, I chose emerald green because I'm an avid Potterhead and a proud Slytherin.
She then explained that it took one month to make the dress and that she kept it a secret from her classmates.
The tweeted pictures of the dress have amassed more than 380,000 likes.
The 17-year-old revealed it was quite a surprise when she found how many people had seen her gown, and was really pleased to see that her art was being appreciated.

FUEL Soccer Talk: Youth teams hit Vegas; SheBelieves Cup breakdown; Rough 48 hours for MLS
So much soccer, so little time!!
US Youth Soccer Boys teams ready to light up Vegas
The US Youth Soccer National League Boys teams will compete in their second event of the 2018-19 season March 8-10 at Bettye Wilson Soccer Complex and James Regional Sports Park in Las Vegas, Nev., as 104 teams — representing 32 state associations and 68 clubs — play their final games to solidify the division standings.
Entering the weekend of play in Las Vegas:
22 berths to the US Youth Soccer National Championships are still to be decided.
22 National League division titles are up for grabs
86 of the 104 teams playing in Las Vegas are still in contention for a berth to Nationals.
The division winners in the 14U-18U age groups earn a place in the 2019 US Youth Soccer National Championships, while the top two finishers in each of the 19U divisions also advance. The 2019 National Championships will take place July 22-28 in Overland Park, Kan.
Following the first two National League weekends, just two teams — 19U Lehigh Valley United 2000 Black (PA-E) and 19U LMSC Rats (PA-E) — have booked tickets to the National Championships. With so many berths to Overland Park still on the line, there will be plenty to play for when the teams meet in Las Vegas.
For a complete preview: https://www.usyouthsoccer.org/2019-national-league-boys-las-vegas-preview/
Yes, we will have all the kicks and passes from the girls side tomorrow!!
Breakdown: More from the SheBelieves Cup!
There were plenty of positives to take from the USWNT's showing in the recently completed SheBelieves Cup. But there were a few things to be concerned about as well.
Heading into the game with Brazil, the U.S. side had allowed seven goals in four games in 2019. But against Brazil, possession was basically even and the U.S. out-shot Brazil 18-11. Ashlyn Harris, the U.S. keeper, and the defense posted the clean sheet.
But the U.S. didn't win a tournament they hosted and played on their home turf – there is nothing positive about that. Coach Jill Ellis doesn't seem to have a firm grasp on what she wants to do or who she wants on the pitch at the moment. After August's Tournament of Nations, Ellis said it was time to take what they had learned from an ever-changing roster and start preparing for the World Cup.
There is still time…but the clock is ticking.
The U.S. played without standout midfielder Lindsey Horan – a true game-changer. That's certainly worth noting.
Sam Mewis had a huge game against Brazil. Tobin Heath was the USWNT's best all-around player during the SheBelieves Cup. And the U.S. flashed their typical outstanding individual skills at times but they need to put the finishing touches on this team if they are to paint a masterpiece in the upcoming World Cup.
The USA opened the 2019 SheBelieves Cup with a 2-2 draw with Japan on Feb. 27 in Chester, Pa. followed by a 2-2 draw with England on March 2 in Nashville, Tenn., before defeating Brazil 1-0 on Tuesday in Tampa, Fla.
Here is a good breakdown on what it all means from Fox's Aly Wagner:

What do the Americans need to do to get ready for a run at the World Cup?
Rough showing for MLS in CONCACAF Champions League
Photo courtesy MLS
It was not a good 48 hours for the MLS in the CONCACAF Champions League in the quarterfinals. MLS teams were outscored by a combined 9-1 in the four games. Santos Laguna defeated NY Red Bulls 2-0 and Tigres UANL defeated Houston Dynamo 2-0 on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Independiente defeated visiting Sporting KC 2-1 while Atlanta United gave up a pair of late goals in a 3-0 loss at Monterrey.
Sporting KC is in decent shape scoring an important goal on the road. The two teams will meet in Kansas City on Thursday, March 14.
Atlanta, who plays expansion Cincinnati on Sunday in an MLS game, will have a lot of work to do next week when the teams meet in Atlanta on Wednesday.
The defending MLS Cup champions beat CS Herediano 5-3 in aggregate in the opening matchup. Atlanta fell 3-1 on the road, but was able to comeback at home and advance with a 4-0 win. They will need a similar comback against Monterrey.
The Red Bulls will face Santos Laguna on Tuesday and Houston will play Tigres UANL on Wednesday.
You've heard it more than once but it's worth repeating – they need to schedule these games at a later time in the season. MLS teams are just getting up and running and they are not at top form. Mexico and Central American teams are in mid-season giving them a distinctive advantage. Not an excuse. A fact.
Should they move the CONCACAF Champions League to a different time of the year?
LET'S TALK: OK, now you've read what's on my mind…what are your thoughts on the above or any other "football" happenings?

Fast forward to today, and the Yans are preparing to open their third location in less than 18 months in the same complex as The Rib Line and Oki Momo Asian Grill in San Luis Obispo.
Poke is raw, sushi-grade fish commonly served as an appetizer in Hawaiian cuisine, and customers are able to build their own bowls using fresh ingredients.
"I wanted to deliver more variety and something that everybody would enjoy," said Yan, who was born in Hong Kong and raised in San Francisco.
Though Yan declined to discuss financial information about their business, he said Poke Chef has found an under-served niche in the county.
Poke Chef employs about 20 part-time workers, Yan said, and he expects to hire another 10 to 15 when the new store, located at 2252 Broad St. in Suite 130, opens later this fall.


This report recommends the repeal of enactments which have been identified, after detailed research and consultation, as being spent, obsolete, unnecessary or otherwise not now of practical utility. The proposals have been widely canvassed with the government departments and other bodies concerned, including the relevant authorities throughout Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the relevant authorities in Ireland and India about the enactments that relate to those countries. Areas covered by the draft Bill are: benevolent institutions; civil and criminal justice; Indian railways; Ireland (Dublin City); local courts and administration of justice; London; lotteries; poor relief; railways; taxation and pensions; turnpikes. The report includes the draft Bill and explanatory notes.
This book is the first to describe the history of geoconservation. It draws on experience from the UK, Europe and further afield, to explore topics including: what is geoconservation; where, when and how did it start; who was responsible; and how has it differed across the world? Geological and geomorphological features, processes, sites and specimens, provide a resource of immense scientific and educational importance. They also form the foundation for the varied and spectacular landscapes that help define national and local identity as well as many of the great tourism destinations. Mankind's activities, including contributing to enhanced climate change, pose many threats to this resource: the importance of safeguarding and managing it for future generations is now widely accepted as part of sustainable development. Geoconservation is an established and growing activity across the world, with more participants and a greater profile than ever before. This volume highlights a history of challenges, set-backs, successes and visionary individuals and provides a sound basis for taking geoconservation into the future.
Edith the captive; or, The robbers of Epping forest. By the author of 'Jane Brightwell'.
Epping Forest was given to the public in 1878. It has many historical and literary associations involving, for example, Harold II, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Shakespeare, Tennyson, Clare and Churchill. Nicholas Hagger came to Epping Forest during the war. As a boy he knew Sir William Addison, long recognised as an authority on the Forest, and saw Churchill speak in his village in 1945. He grew up against the background of the Forest and visited it regularly when he was living elsewhere. He returned and became the proprietor of three private schools in the area, founding his own school in 1989. The Forest has come into many of his poems and other works. In Part One of this book he conveys the history of Epping Forest in the times of the Celts and Romans, Anglo-Saxons and Normans, Medievals and Tudors, and enclosers and loppers. In Part Two he shows how history has shaped the Forest places he grew up with: Loughton, Chigwell, Woodford, Buckhurst Hill, Waltham Abbey, High Beach, Upshire, Epping, the Theydons and Chingford Plain. An Appendix contains some of his poems about these places. His blending of history, recollection and poetic reflection presents a rounded view of the Forest. Using a technique of objective narrative he developed in other works and drawing on personal experience to give the flavour of a personal memoir, he evokes the spirit of the Forest through its best-loved places and wildlife, and brings the Forest alive through his historical perspective, evocation of Nature and vivid writing. Nicholas Hagger's Collected Poems, Classical Odes and his two poetic epics, Overlord and Armageddon, are also published by O Books.

Alan Forrest, The Death of the French Atlantic. Trade, War, and Slavery in the Age of Revolution, Oxford University Press, 2020
« The Death of the French Atlantic examines the sudden and irreversible decline of France's Atlantic empire in the Age of Revolution, and shows how three major forces undermined the country's competitive position as an Atlantic commercial power.
The first was war, especially war at sea against France's most consistent enemy and commercial rival in the eighteenth century, Great Britain. A series of colonial wars, from the Seven Years' War and the War of American Independence to the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars did much to drive France out of the North Atlantic.
The second was anti-slavery and the rise of a new moral conscience which challenged the right of Europeans to own slaves or to sacrifice the freedom of others to pursue national economic advantage.
The third was the French Revolution itself, which not only raised French hopes of achieving the Rights of Man for its own citizens but also sowed the seeds of insurrection in the slave societies of the New World, leading to the loss of Saint-Domingue and the creation of the first black republic in Haiti at the beginning of the nineteenth century. This proved critical to the economy of the French Caribbean, driving both colons and slaves from Saint-Domingue to seek shelter across the Atlantic world, and leaving a bitter legacy in the French Caribbean. It has also created an uneasy memory of the slave trade in French ports like Nantes, La Rochelle, and Bordeaux, and has left an indelible mark on race relations in France today. »
Alan Forrest is Emeritus Professor of History at the University of York. He has published widely on the history of the French Revolution and Empire, and on the history of war. His publications include Napoleon's Men : The Soldiers of the Revolution and Empire (2002) ; The Legacy of the French Revolutionary Wars : The Nation-in-Arms in French Republican Memory (2009), Napoleon (2011), and most recently Waterloo (2015), a study of the battle and its place in public memory. He is currently preparing (as general editor) the three-volume Cambridge History of the Napoleonic Wars.
