I A T O M is a new harness and container system made up of perfectly matched components. It combines all the merits of modem technology including laser cutting of all textile parts. I Modem skydivers have expressed their need for narrow containers that don't extend beyond their back. A narrow rig increases fall rate by reducing drag and allows unhindered movement of the arms. The A T O M size 0, which is shown here, measures 2 9 cm (11.5 in.) wide at the bottom, when it contains a BT-50 main and a M ay d ay reserve. To achieve the highest degree of comfort, safety and durability, we have integrated features like luxury foam padding, plastic tongues, reserve pin protection and a molar shaped freebag.

  • 1 Sociology 342-001: Criminology Summer II
    Sociology 342-001: Criminology Summer II: July 8 – Aug. 7 2013 Online - 3 credits Instructor Office Hours Kate Gunby via email and gchat [email protected] or by appointment in Social Sciences 426 Course Description This course begins with a quick introduction to the multidisciplinary study of criminology, and how crime and criminal behavior are measured. Then the class will explore different theories of crime and criminality, starting with early schools of criminology and then covering structural, social process, critical, psychosocial, biosocial, and developmental theories. Then the class will focus on different types of crime, including violent crime, sex crimes, multiple murder and terrorism, property crime, public order crime, and white collar and organized crime. Finally, we will broaden our scope to explore victim experiences, mental health and incarceration, concepts of justice and incarceration trends, and the consequences of crime and incarceration. This course uses the acclaimed television series The Wire to explore the fundamentals of criminology. Students will develop their ability analyze, synthesize, apply, and evaluate the course material through written memos linking each reading to the content in a specific episode of The Wire. Students will further engage with the material and each other through online forum discussions. This class is guided by student goals, which are established from the beginning and reviewed throughout the term. Readings All of the course readings are on D2L. You do not need to buy any books. Almost all of the readings are excerpts from books or articles, so please download the readings from D2L so that you only read the portions that are required for the class.

  • Representations of Education in HBO's the Wire, Season 4
    Teacher EducationJames Quarterly, Trier Spring 2010 Representations of Education in HBO’s The Wire, Season 4 By James Trier The Wire is a crime drama that aired for five seasons on the Home Box Of- fice (HBO) cable channel from 2002-2008. The entire series is set in Baltimore, Maryland, and as Kinder (2008) points out, “Each season The Wire shifts focus to a different segment of society: the drug wars, the docks, city politics, education, and the media” (p. 52). The series explores, in Lanahan’s (2008) words, an increasingly brutal and coarse society through the prism of Baltimore, whose postindustrial capitalism has decimated the working-class wage and sharply divided the haves and have-nots. The city’s bloated bureaucracies sustain the inequality. The absence of a decent public-school education or meaningful political reform leaves an unskilled underclass trapped between a rampant illegal drug economy and a vicious “war on drugs.” (p. 24) My main purpose in this article is to introduce season four of The Wire—the “education” season—to readers who have either never seen any of the series, or who have seen some of it but James Trier is an not season four. Specifically, I will attempt to show associate professor in the that season four holds great pedagogical potential for School of Education at academics in education.1 First, though, I will present the University of North examples of the critical acclaim that The Wire received Carolina at Chapel throughout its run, and I will introduce the backgrounds Hill, Chapel Hill, North of the creators and main writers of the series, David Carolina.

  • Devon in the First World War, 1914-1918
    DEVON IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR WAR AND THE HOME FRONT: DEVON IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR, 1914-1918 By BONNIE WHITE, B.A. Hons., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment ofthe Requirements for the Degree Doctor ofPhilosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Bonnie White, October 2008 ii DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2008) McMaster University (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: War and the Home Front: Devon in the First World War AUTHOR: Bonnie White, B.A. Hons. (Saint Mary's University), MA. (University of New Brunswick SUPERVISOR(S): Dr. Stephen Heathom, Dr. Martin Hom NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 344 iii Abstract This investigation contributes to the existing scholarship on Britain and the First World War by examining the war's impact on the county of Devon in southwest England. More specifically, this study pays particular attention to how communities, families, and individuals responded to the pressures ofwar and to what extent social unity was achieved at the county level. By exploring the relationship between the state and its citizens, this dissertation questions the extent to which Devonians were passive and accepting of the sacrifices and hardships that the government required from them, how their experiences were informed, and to what extent class, gender, and religious differences limited public support for the war? While this dissertation argues that Devonians were generally supportive ofBritish participation in the war, that support was provisional and based on the perception of 'equality of sacrifice' - the expectation that the burdens ofwar would be shared equally throughout the county and across all segments of society.

  • DSM Dateline
    The view from Down St Mary 780 to 2014 DSM timeline © Roger Steer 780 The Saxons reach the Tamar. During the period of the Saxons, the natural forests of Devon are gradually cleared and most of the villages and settlements we take for granted in the countryside are established. 905 Bishop Putta is murdered – some say at the spot where Copplestone cross stands. 909 Diocese of Crediton created. 934-53 Bishop Ethelgar collects funds for the building of St Mary’s Minster at Crediton. 974 Copplestone Cross, at the junction of Down St Mary with two other parishes until 1992, is mentioned in a charter, but is much older than that. It is early Celtic interlaced work such as is not found elsewhere in England except in Northumbria. The cross gives a name to a once noted Devon family which comes in the local rhyme: Crocker, Cruwys, and Coplestone, When the Conqueror came were found at home. Eleventh Century 1018 Buckfast Abbey is founded under the patronage of King Canute. 1040 The Manor of Down(e) named after the Saxon settlement DUN meaning Hill, first recorded as being the gift of King Harthacnut. (Harthacnut was king of Denmark from 1028 to 1042 and of England from 1040 to 1042. Some of the glebe land in the manor originally formed part of the Devon estates of Harthacnut’s father, Canute, king of England 1016-35.) Tenure is granted to Aelfwein, Abbot of Buckfast in support of the ministry of the Abbey Church. Down St Mary is one of six Devon churches held by the Abbot of Buckfast prior to the Norman conquest, the others being Churchstow, Petrockstow, South Brent, Trusham and Zeal Monachorum.
