Pain and Gain

Pain and Gain

Brian M Stecher; Scott Epstein; Laura S Hamilton; Julie A Marsh; Abby Robyn

RAND

The Implementing Standards-Based Accountability (ISBA) study was designed to examine the strategies that states, districts, and schools are using to implement standards-based accountability under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) and how these strategies are associated with classroom practices and student achievement in mathematics and science. This monograph presents the final results of the ISBA project. It contains descriptive information regarding the implementation of NCLB in California, Georgia, and Pennsylvania from 2003a2004 through 2005a2006. It is a companion to MG-589-NSF, Standards-Based Accountability Under No Child Left Behind (2007), and updates those findings with an additional year of data, permitting further analyses of state-to-state differences and longer-term trends. This study suggests that school improvement efforts might be more effective if they were responsive to local conditions and customized to address the specific causes of failure and the capacity of the schools in question.

Florence in the Early Modern World

Florence in the Early Modern World

Nicholas Scott Baker; Brian J. Maxson

Routledge
2019
sidottu
Florence in the Early Modern World offers new perspectives on this important city by exploring the broader global context of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, within which the experience of Florence remains unique. By exploring the city’s relationship to its close and distant neighbours, this collection of interdisciplinary essays reveals the transnational history of Florence. The chapters orient the lenses of the most recent historiographical turns perfected in studies on Venice, Rome, Bologna, Naples, and elsewhere towards Florence. New techniques, such as digital mapping, alongside new comparisons of architectural theory and merchants in Eurasia, provide the latest perspectives about Florence’s cultural and political importance before, during, and after the Renaissance. From Florentine merchants in Egypt and India, through actual and idealized military ambitions in the sixteenth-century Mediterranean, to Tuscan humanists in late medieval England, the contributors to this interdisciplinary volume reveal the connections Florence held to early modern cities across the globe. This book steers away from the historical narrative of an insular Renaissance Europe and instead identifies the significance of other global influences. By using Florence as a case study to trace these connections, this volume of essays provides essential reading for students and scholars of early modern cities and the Renaissance.

Neurobiology of Infant Vision

Neurobiology of Infant Vision

The study of visual development has proceeded at a rapid pace in recent years, and there have been theoretical and methodological innovations across a wide range of disciplines. This book brings together some of the most recent innovations from a neurobiological perspective. Chapters cover the pre- to postnatal development of vision, new insights into the concept of critical periods, object and face recognition, as well as dynamic perception and visual recognition memory in infants. The volume finishes with a detailed overview of the development of visual functions from the perspective of neural network modeling.This book will appeal to psychologists, visual scientists and infancy researchers with an interest in development of the visaul system from a multidisciplinary perspective. An integrative introduction is followed by chapters that challenge thinking about development in terms of a nativist-empiricist dichotomy. Emphasis is on cross-disciplinary research links and between chapters readers will find cross-references.

Understanding Divine Healing Through the Ministry of Jesus

Understanding Divine Healing Through the Ministry of Jesus

Tavolacci Scott; Simmons Brian

Kingdom Master Builders
2019
pokkari
Is healing real for today? After studying divine healing intensely for ten years, Scott Tavolacci thought he had a reasonably good understanding of the subject. He had read or listened to numerous well-known--and not so well-known--teachers on healing, studied and memorized almost every passage regarding the topic, and prayed over many people for healing. But then God led Scott into a very intense, year-long study about the ways Jesus ministered healing in the Gospels. God started opening up the relational side of how Jesus led people to interact with Him and receive healing. What Scott discovered is that healing is not about formulas or doctrine, but relationship. There are not many books on divine healing like this one; it is a revelation for this day and age. Take time to meditate on what is being said as you read these pages. Let the Holy Spirit bring you into a greater understanding of Jesus the Healer.

The Lost Revolution

The Lost Revolution

Hanley Brian; Millar Scott

Penguin Books Ltd
2010
pokkari
The story of contemporary Ireland is inseparable from the story of the official republican movement, a story told here for the first time - from the clash between Catholic nationalist and socialist republicanism in the 1960s and '70s through the Workers' Party's eventual rejection of irredentism. A roll-call of influential personalities in the fields of politics, trade unionism and media - many still operating at the highest levels of Irish public life - passed though the ranks of this secretive movement, which never achieved its objectives but had a lasting influence on the landscape of Irish politics.

Strategic Responsiveness

Strategic Responsiveness

Scott H Ainsworth; Brian M Harward; Kenneth W Moffett

THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN PRESS
2025
nidottu
Because the constitutional separation of powers often leads to delay or obstruction rather than coordinated policymaking, U.S. presidents are increasingly acting unilaterally to move policy. With the issuance of executive orders, signing statements, and policy memoranda, unilateralism has become a defining feature of the American presidency. Can Congress effectively use checks and balances to counter presidential unilateralism? Strategic Responsiveness takes a theoretically developed and empirically oriented approach— situated within legal and historical contexts—to explore the system of separated powers. The authors find that Congress is not as weak as many perceive it to be and show how members of Congress often anticipate individualized policy loss and choose to respond. These policy struggles shape the constitutional order as surely as broad, statutory constraints might. While the aggrandizement of the presidency and the usurpation of congressional control are not countered, ordinary policy losses are. For members and senators, presidential overreach is fine as long as the policy wins continue, but policy losses may motivate members to reassert congressional prerogatives in policymaking through increased oversight. Strategic Responsiveness reveals how profoundly important policy-level disputes are in the politics of maintaining a particular constitutional order.

Games, Information, and Politics

Games, Information, and Politics

Scott Gates; Brian D. Humes

The University of Michigan Press
1997
nidottu
To study the strategic interaction of individuals, we can use game theory. Despite the long history shared by game theory and political science, many political scientists remain unaware of the exciting game theoretic techniques that have been developed over the years. As a result they use overly simple games to illustrate complex processes. Games, Information, and Politics is written for political scientists who have an interest in game theory but really do not understand how it can be used to improve our understanding of politics. To address this problem, Gates and Humes write for scholars who have little or no training in formal theory and demonstrate how game theoretic analysis can be applied to politics. They apply game theoretic models to three subfields of political science: American politics, comparative politics, and international relations. They demonstrate how game theory can be applied to each of these subfields by drawing from three distinct pieces of research. By drawing on examples from current research projects the authors use real research problems--not hypothetical questions--to develop their discussion of various techniques and to demonstrate how to apply game theoretic models to help answer important political questions. Emphasizing the process of applying game theory, Gates and Humes clear up some common misperceptions about game theory and show how it can be used to improve our understanding of politics.Games, Information, and Politics is written for scholars interested in understanding how game theory is used to model strategic interactions. It will appeal to sociologists and economists as well as political scientists. Scott Gates is Assistant Professor of Political Science, Michigan State University. Brian D. Humes is Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

March 3, 1863 President Abraham Lincoln signed an act of congress creating the Idaho Territory which encompassed the modern states of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Life was not easy though in the newly formed territory. Lawlessness, crime, and hostilities with the area's Native Americans were common, but this did not stop thousands of people from many places, cultures, and ethnicities migrating to the Idaho Territory. Most were looking for riches in the mining industries of the time, others followed the expansion of the railroads, and some were searching for place to call home. What every migrant discovered were the rugged landscape of the desert west and the unforgiving heights of the Rocky Mountains. Violence, disease, and death were frequently found in the territory. The dangers of the 1800s and early 1900s were harsh in the Idaho Territory. Stories of accidents, illnesses, and murders seem to fill its early cemeteries. From mining disasters, smallpox epidemics, homicidal bandits, and vigilante mobs there were many ways territorial residents could die any given day. It should be no surprise that the ghost towns, railways, and scenic landscapes of the former Idaho Territory are rumored to be haunted. The spirits of the former residents don't seem to want to forgotten. Scott V. Brian, paranormal investigator and trained archaeologist has spent over a decade researching and investigating some of the most haunted places in the former Idaho Territory. He is excited to continue telling his most terrifying findings in Ghostology: Tales from a Decade of Paranormal Investigation, Volume Two. This next volume of the Ghostology series is dedicated to the haunting tales from the states of the former Idaho Territory. Explore the ghostly tales from-Wyoming: The Green River Library; the Point of Rocks Railway StopMontana Ghost Towns: Bannack, Virginia City, and CoolidgeIdaho: Ross Park, the Snake River Canyon, the old Idaho Falls Post Office, Sticker Ranch, the old Idaho Penitentiary, and the ghost town Vienna in the Sawtooth Mountains.*Plus much more

A cursed bed in an attic, an invisible man at an abandoned hotel, and a shadow demon above an Ouija board; these are just a few of the authentic experiences described by paranormal investigator Scott Brian. With a degree in archaeology, Scott has over a decade researching haunting encounters with apparitions and other ghostly phenomena. From poltergeist like activity to the occult, Scott uses methods and techniques barrowed from traditional science to study the unexplained. Now Scott tells of his most thrilling and mysterious investigations over the past ten years. Haunted houses, ghosts, spirits and other supernatural entities are just some of the topics covered in Ghostology: Ghostly Attacks. Unlike other paranormal books, the Ghostology series goes beyond a carnival thrill ride, documenting real-life hauntings to research the afterlife.

Ghostology examines those beliefs in Scott's home state of Idaho that can be applied to any place in the United States.
