Thank you, Talia G. Brown for being the best fetus, neonate, and daughter in the history of the world ever known to mankind! To “Dee,” the pink-ribbon binding four out of five narratives. We miss you so! Thank you for sharing your wonderful light, life, and “effervescence” as one interview participant stated. Thank you for making the difference in so many lives while you were here. Munchie loves you! Thanks to the 2010 Counselor Education and Supervision cohort, Drs. W. David Lane, and Arthur Williams for your support and belief in my ability to complete this process. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to Dr. Karen Swanson for answering her phone in 2012 and allowing me to enroll in her Qualitative Analysis class with two hours notice. Thank you for sharing your time, stories, and experience with me. My thanks goes to Dr. Donald Redmond for encouraging me to part-take in a qualitative study, opening up the world of narrative, and for always being so honest and supportive. I would like to thank Drs. Renee Ned and Theresa Reese for jumping into this process with little notice or explanation beyond openness to the process. Finally, this dissertation contains the words, emotions, and medical details of five individuals who generously shared their most intimate experiences with cancer and beyond. I offer you my most sincere gratitude and share your hope that your personal stories will help improve public and professional understanding of what it means to be a survivor and thereby enhance the quality of care that health professionals provide to patients.

Barber, SJ, told them, “you are called and chosen” and told them what serving means today. In front of a crowded Cathedral of Christ the Light Bishop Barber told them he was zeroing in on the third vow they would take shortly, to celebrate the Mass and administer the Sacrament of Confession worthily. “You will never violate the Seal of Confession,” Bishop Barber told the three new priests. “No state or government can oblige you to betray your penitents.” Legislation — SB 360 — has passed the state Senate and is moving to the Assembly. It will compel a priest to reveal to police some sins he hears in confession. The new priests, John Anthony Pietruszka, 32, Javier Ramirez, 43, and Mark Ruiz, 56, listened attentively. Father Pietruszka is from Fall River Massachusetts; Father Ramirez from Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico; and Mark Father Ruiz was born and raised in Oakland. They would not be alone, the bishop assured them. To show that support, more than 70 VOICE CATHOLIC PACCIORINI/THE C. ALBERT priests, mostly diocesan, were present to With Bishop Michael C. Barber, SJ, at left, the trio of men prostrate themselves at the altar.

The consolidated DVC (Academic) Reflective Report is intended to reflect on the state of the academic project, through the lenses of the seven faculties at the University of the Western Cape (UWC), together with the academic professional support directorates within this portfolio. Given the cataclysmic effects of the ongoing pandemic, it would be remiss not to reflect fully on the impact of the pandemic on the academic project and how we managed to complete the 2020 academic year and start the 2021 academic year timeously. This Reflective Report contains an overview of our academic approach and decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, as well as a self-evaluation of the most pertinent work done during the course of the current Institutional Operation Plan (IOP 2016—2020), including the successes and work that need to be consolidated or accelerated, and opportunities for innovation in the next IOP.

  • A Framework for Progressively Improving Small Area Population Estimates
    J. R. Statist. Soc. A (2004) 167, Part 1, pp. 5–36 A framework for progressively improving small area population estimates Philip Rees, University of Leeds, UK Paul Norman University of Manchester, UK and Dominic Brown University of Queensland, Australia [Received April 2002. Final revision May 2003] Summary. The paper presents a framework for small area population estimation that enables users to select a method that is fit for the purpose.The adjustments to input data that are needed before use are outlined, with emphasis on developing consistent time series of inputs. We show how geographical harmonization of small areas, which is crucial to comparisons over time, can be achieved. For two study regions, the East of England and Yorkshire and the Humber, the dif- ferences in output and consequences of adopting different methods are illustrated. The paper concludes with a discussion of how data, on stream since 1998, might be included in future small area estimates. Keywords: Estimation methods; Geographical harmonization; Population estimates; Small area populations 1. Introduction Changes in small area populations occur through aging and the processes of natural change, births and deaths. Population change also occurs through migration within and between small areas, whether urban, suburban or rural, with different migration patterns for people of differ- ent age groups. In some locations the tendency is for people to age in situ; other areas have more transient populations. In the UK, since information from the decennial census, the principal source of sociodemographic data, is only available for one date per decade, there is a need to esti- mate small area populations from the latest census forwards and then to revise these estimates when the next census is published.
