The Old Irish Goat is the ancient breed of the nation and the symbol of its past.” Raymond Werner, 2009 Old Irish Goat Breed Standard “The Old Irish Goat has a distinct regal image, with it’s long beard, oversized side-burns, flamboyant coiff, long coat and of course… it is ostentatiously adorned with a crown of impressive horns” - Seán Carolan Contrast between Old Irish and British Alpine Breeds Old Irish Goat Colour Patterns “…they moved off and then strung out like a neck-lace of multicoloured beads” - Ray Werner, Heritage Outlook, 2009.

Buckminster Fuller A Comprehensivist’s Approach to Structuring Environments for Success 12° of Freedom Chapter IV: Environment Is Stronger Than Will Chapter IV: Environment Is Stronger Than Will: A Comprehensivist’s Approach to Structuring Environments for Success, addresses the questions: How is this discipline applied in an addictions treatment program, in prison or in any treatment setting? How does one establish a Total Learning Environment™ in prison? What results can be expected from a treatment approach based in Synergetics? The purpose, methods and results of the TLE™ are described from their origin in the Network Program, through Shock Incarceration, the Willard Drug Treatment Campus, and related programs in other jurisdictions. Results of the longitudinal research about Shock Incarceration are presented to demonstrate that this model produces positive results when offenders are compared with similar cohorts. Several factors, including cost of care, educational development, community services, after care, recidivism and success rates post-release, are offered as evidence of the model’s effective design and operations.

    The Artist Alive: Explorations in Music, Art & Theology, by Christopher Pramuk (Winona, MN: Anselm Academic, 2019). Copyright © 2019 by Christopher Pramuk. All rights reserved. www.anselmacademic.org. Introduction Seeds of Awareness This book is inspired by an undergraduate course called “Music, Art, and Theology,” one of the most popular classes I teach and probably the course I’ve most enjoyed teaching. The reasons for this may be as straightforward as they are worthy of lament. In an era when study of the arts has become a practical afterthought, a “luxury” squeezed out of tight education budgets and shrinking liberal arts curricula, people intuitively yearn for spaces where they can explore together the landscape of the human heart opened up by music and, more generally, the arts. All kinds of people are attracted to the arts, but I have found that young adults especially, seeking something deeper and more worthy of their questions than what they find in highly quantitative and STEM-oriented curricula, are drawn into the horizon of the ineffable where the arts take us. Across some twenty-five years in the classroom, over and over again it has been my experience that young people of diverse religious, racial, and economic backgrounds, when given the opportunity, are eager to plumb the wellsprings of spirit where art commingles with the divine-human drama of faith. From my childhood to the present day, my own spirituality1 or way of being in the world has been profoundly shaped by music, not least its capacity to carry me beyond myself and into communion with the mysterious, transcendent dimension of reality.

ABSTRACT Personal plight legal practice includes all legal work for individual clients whose needs arise from disputes. This is the site of our worst access to justice problems. The goal of this project is to identify sustainable innovations that can make the services of personal plight law firms more accessible to all Canadians. Accessibility is vitally important, but it is not the only thing that matters in personal plight legal practice. Thus, this book seeks out innovations that not only improve accessibility, but also preserve or enhance service quality as well as law firms’ profitability.
