  • Jack Bremer, SPY Team Captain
    Name: Jack Bremer High School: Severn School Years on SPY: 13 College attending in Fall 2012: Cornell University Hobbies when not swimming: Green Bay Packers – I’ve been a huge fan my whole life, and now I can finally admit: Jim and Crystee, all those times I scratched Winterfest finals, I didn’t have a “stomach bug” or “so much homework,” I was just watching the Packers game. Other than that, I enjoy anything with boats, cars, Washington Capitals. Also (although my mom despises me doing this) I cannot stop eating pizza or cheez-its; I go through a box of each in about 10-20 minutes. Most memorable swim: Undoubtedly 200 Fly at SC Y-Nationals Finals my sophomore year. My lone goal of the meet was to make my first Summer Juniors cut, and 200 Fly was my last chance. I went a 1:52.94 and placed 16th in the morning, but I needed to go 1:51.99. At finals I won the B Final with a 1:50.34 and out-touched 2nd place by 0.02. I don’t think I’ve ever been more pumped up for anything in my life than that swim at finals, and I still get goose bumps thinking about it. Most memorable/funny moment: After spending nearly my whole life on the team, I’ve accumulated quite a few, so I can’t pick just one moment. I’d mainly like to mention the people on SPY who have impacted my life in memorable ways and have given friendships that will last a lifetime.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “Rivers of Living Water”: The Movements and Mobility of Holiness-Pentecostals, 1837-1910 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Caroline Anne Bunnell Harris 2016 © Copyright by Caroline Anne Bunnell Harris 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “Rivers of Living Water”: The Movements and Mobility of Holiness-Pentecostals, 1837-1910 by Caroline Anne Bunnell Harris Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Stephen A. Aron, Chair This dissertation follows the fluid and dynamic movements of holiness and pentecostal worshipers who crossed boundaries of race, gender, language, and region at the end of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth century. It demonstrates how the changeable, decentralized, and anti-institutional character of the holiness-pentecostal movement allowed for both radical social behavior and dynamic geographic mobility. The movement was in a constant state of flux as the sanctified traveled across the continent, as holiness ideas circulated amidst an explosion of print culture, and as worshipers moved in and out of socially transgressive practices. By the early twentieth century an expansive network of holiness and pentecostal folk, tied together by railroads and holiness newspapers, sprawled across the United States. The American holiness-pentecostal movement had flowed from the homes of Northern social reformers in the !ii 1840s, to black sharecroppers in the Mississippi Delta and white cotton farmers in East Texas after Reconstruction, and finally to the West at the turn of the century. Popular depictions of Los Angeles on the brink of the Azusa Street Revival describe a seed about to sprout, a woman in labor, or a tree being transplanted.

  • Roman Population Size: the Logic of the Debate
    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics Roman population size: the logic of the debate Version 2.0 July 2007 Walter Scheidel Stanford University Abstract: This paper provides a critical assessment of the current state of the debate about the number of Roman citizens and the size of the population of Roman Italy. Rather than trying to make a case for a particular reading of the evidence, it aims to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of rival approaches and examine the validity of existing arguments and critiques. After a brief survey of the evidence and the principal positions of modern scholarship, it focuses on a number of salient issues such as urbanization, military service, labor markets, political stability, living standards, and carrying capacity, and considers the significance of field surveys and comparative demographic evidence. © Walter Scheidel. [email protected] 1 1. Roman population size: why it matters Our ignorance of ancient population numbers is one of the biggest obstacles to our understanding of Roman history. After generations of prolific scholarship, we still do not know how many people inhabited Roman Italy and the Mediterranean at any given point in time. When I say ‘we do not know’ I do not simply mean that we lack numbers that are both precise and safely known to be accurate: that would surely be an unreasonably high standard to apply to any pre-modern society. What I mean is that even the appropriate order of magnitude remains a matter of intense dispute. This uncertainty profoundly affects modern reconstructions of Roman history in two ways. First of all, our estimates of overall Italian population number are to a large extent a direct function of our views on the size of the Roman citizenry, and inevitably shape any broader guesses concerning the demography of the Roman empire as a whole.

  • 100 Million Healthier Lives an Unprecedented Coalition of Leaders Committed to Improving Health
    100 Million Healthier Lives An unprecedented coalition of leaders committed to improving health DECEMBER 2014 Sponsored by In collaboration with THE GUIDING COALITION FOR 100 MILLION HEALTHIER LIVES Improving Health Care AND Health The Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s mission has long been to improve health and health care worldwide. For more than 25 years, we’ve worked alongside you to make health care safe, timely, patient-centered, effective, efficient, and equitable. Together we’ve made progress on this journey, and yet we know we have much further to go. Eight years ago, IHI began to expand on these core principles of quality in health care, to address the challenges of improving health and pursuing the Triple Aim — better experience of care, better population health, and lower per capita cost. As we went deep into this work with hundreds of communities globally, we were reminded over and over that to truly improve health requires improvement in the many determinants of health and well-being that exist outside the walls of the health care system. Our work with all of you has taught us that: • We need to value the 5,000 hours that a person with a chronic disease spends at home managing their health every year, rather than simply the small number of 15-minute visits they might have with their provider. • We need to ensure we ask, “What matters to you?” as well as, “What’s the matter?” • We need to understand and respond to the factors that lead to massive variation in health outcomes that are based not on who you are, but where you live.
