Darin L. Jones the Kent County Department Heads Have Selected DARIN L Page Kent Connections Dec. 2014 A Newsletter Published by Kent County Levy Court for its Employees December 2014 Employee of the Month: Darin L. Jones The Kent County department heads have selected DARIN L. JONES from the Department of Commu- nity Services as the December 2014 Employee of the Month. Darin is a Parks Worker II in the Parks and Recreation Division and has worked for Kent County since August 2005. His primary duties include cutting grass, general landscaping, maintaining equipment, inspecting and clearing trails, repairing park structures, and performing carpentry work in a safe manner. When Darin joined the County, he brought a wealth of knowledge with more than 10 years of experience in the private sector in equipment maintenance and as a machinist. His skills also included carpentry, metal fabricating, painting, plumbing, and electrical work. He is also a certified welder. Darin has put his farm hand experience as a youth and his advanced training as a welder to beneficial use to the County. He and his co-workers often fabricate tools to help get their jobs done. For example, mowing around fence posts can be difficult, so Darin reconfigured the mower to offset the handles resulting in a clean cut in less time.

Winter, “Reimagining Democratic Theory for Social Individuals” THE CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT OF THREE FUNDAMENTAL MORAL ETHICS: AUTONOMY, COMMUNITY, AND DIVINITY by Lene Arnett Jensen Abstract. In this essay, I describe my Cultural-Developmental Template Approach to moral psychology. This theory draws on my research with the Three Ethics of Autonomy, Community, and Divinity, and the work of many other scholars. The cultural- developmental synthesis suggests that the Ethic of Autonomy emerges early in people’s psychological lives, and continues to hold some importance across the lifespan. But Autonomy is not alone. The Ethic of Community too emerges early and appears to increase in importance across the life course. Then, it also seems that in most places and at most times, the Ethic of Divinity has found a voice— and in some traditions this ethic may become audible in adolescence. Ethics of Autonomy, Community, and Divinity, then, may have universal roots in the human condition. However, they are also clearly culturally and historically situated. Cultural communities—whether defined by religious, national, or other boundaries—vary in how they prioritize the three ethics and the extent to which they reinforce their development.

Time travel, space travel, reality travel...basically every travel not only exists here, but is rather common and achievable! A world with Time Lords, hate-filled salt shakers, sapient stars and much, much more! This is a world full of tremendous wonders, of bright and glorious things, beautiful sights and unimaginable delights! Step in, go around, see the sights and have fun! It is also full of hideous horror, unfortunate implications, wars and conflicts that can rip apart entire galaxies and time-spans, memetic horrors and nightmares. Step carefully, lest someone else end up treating you as their fun. Either way, you will need these 1​ 000 CP​. Go on, shoot your own series! Time and Place Being honest, neither time nor place mean all that much here. So we’ll be doing this a tad differently. Start out wherever and whenever you like that isn’t a fixed point in time or otherwise a part of the Time War. Now spend a total of ten years of your own personal duration in this universe, regardless of whatever era those years may be lived in.

INTRODUCTION At the dawn of the modern era of jurisprudence, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola argued that unlike the beasts and the angels, humans are able to become whatever they wish.1 Legal systems tend to concur, particu- larly with respect to issues of moral responsibility for criminal acts. Apart from narrow standard categories of exceptions, 2 the American legal sys- tem assumes that defendants bear moral responsibility for their inten- tional criminal acts. Indeed, it is said that our Constitution "forbids punishment that is wholly disproportionate to the blameworthiness of the offender."3 There is remarkable agreement that in general, the legal sys- tem must not impose punishment unless the defendant is blameworthy or * Professor of Law, Cumberland School of Law, Samford University. The author would like to thank Richard Delgado and Samuel Pillsbury for their reactions, without thereby imputing agreement or any form of responsibility, on any theory.

It is about time, or more precisely, about the absence of time in law’s digital future. It is also about time-travelling and the seemingly ever-popular BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who. Further, it is about law’s timefullness; about law’s pictorial past and the ‘visual baroque’ of its chronological fused future.

Founded in 2005, the Harry Potter Alliance is an international non-profit that turns fans into heroes by making activism accessible through the power of story. This toolkit provides resources for fans of Doctor Who to think more deeply about the social issues represented in the story and take action in our own world. Contact us: [email protected] #FandomForward @TheHPAlliance 2 CONTENTS Introduction Facilitator Tips Representation Issue 1: Feminism Talk it Out Take Action Issue 2: Indigenous Rights Talk it Out Take Action Issue 3: War Talk it Out Take Action Resources Thanks 3 INTRODUCTION “Somewhere there’s danger, somewhere there’s injustice, somewhere else, the tea’s getting cold.” The universe is a wonderful, terrifying, ever-expanding adventure. There’s injustice to overcome, people to save, communities to empower, and a lot to learn. Through the Doctor and their companions’ journeys, we learn that no matter the cost it’s important to try our very best to help people because every life is important. And, thanks to the Doctor, we know we can’t help everyone by ourselves. We have to rely on our friends, our communities, and the help of strangers to make the biggest impact. While no journey is ever easy, we hope you’ll take this one with us. In this Companion’s Toolkit, we’ll be talking about feminism, indigenous rights, and the history and effects of war. These topics can be difficult, and solutions to the problems we’re addressing aren’t always clear, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try.

Christian’s passion for Doctor Who and all things Time Lordly began when he was but an infant; memories of The Pirate Planet and Destiny of the Daleks still haunt him, but his clearest classic Doctor Who memory remains the moment the Fourth Doctor fell from a radio telescope… When the announcement was made in 2003 that Doctor Who would be returning to TV, Christian was nowhere to be seen – in fact he was enjoying himself at the Munich Oktoberfest.
