The Pathology of Stabilisation in Complex Adaptive Systems at Macroeconomic Resilience. The core insight of the resilience-stability tradeoff is that stability leads to loss of resilience. Therefore stabilisation too leads to increased systemic fragility. But there is a lot more to it. In comparing economic crises to forest fires and river floods, I have highlighted the common patterns to the process of system fragilisation which eventually leaves the system “manager” in a situation where there are no good options left. Drawing upon the work of Mancur Olson, I have explored how the buildup of special interests means that stability is self-reinforcing. Once rent-seeking has achieved sufficient scale, “distributional coalitions have the incentive and..the power to prevent changes that would deprive them of their enlarged share of the social output”.
In this analysis, I am going to move away from ecological analogies and instead turn to an example from modern medicine.

Strategic ethnicity: The construction of multi-racial/multi-ethnic religious community - Ethnic and Racial Studies - Volume 29, Issue 5. This article highlights through one case the ways in which religious organizations provide an exploratory space for maintaining, reclaiming, and altering aspects of racial and ethnic identity within a racially and ethnically integrated community.
Utilizing data from in-depth interviews and participant observation in Southern California, I suggest that within the organizational culture of the congregation, church leaders and individual members recursively construct an integrated identity through 1) the public framing and articulation of goals, 2) their religious organizational structure and resources, and, 3) the lived experiences of members. I argue that a perceived reciprocal legitimacy emerges in this process through which religious claims affirm integration goals while, at the same time, observable integration within the congregation strengthens the acceptance of religious doctrine.

Globalization is often described as the spread of western culture to other parts of the world.
How accurate is the depiction of "cultural" flow? In Counterworks , ten anthropologists examine the ways in which global processes have affected particular localities where they have carried out research. They challenge the validity of anthropological concepts of culture in the light of the pervasive connections which exist between local and global factors everywhere. Rather than assuming that the world is culturally diverse, this book proposes that culture is itself a representation of the similarities and differences recognized between forms of social life. The authors address issues of globalization in terms of diverse histories and traditions of knowledge, which may include the construction of difference as cultural.

Athletic scholarships are awarded through an institution’s athletics department, but they are administered by the school’s financial aid department – as are all awards a college can offer.
Non-athletic financial aid may be merit-based (good grades and test scores) or need-based (financial need of the student), and some non-athletic financial aid packages can be larger than golf scholarships. NCAA college football and basketball scholarships must be 100% of tuition, room & board, books and fees. Athletic scholarships in other sports are divided into “equivalencies”, and most athletes in these sports, including golf, receive partial scholarships as the NCAA allowable total is divided among players on the team.

Louisiana Nonprofit Organizations, Louisiana State Compliance, Annual Louisiana Filings. Search Corporations Database. Intuition: Two Heuristic Models of Precognition. The lack of mathematics to permit quantitative predictions limits the practical application of the following two models.
However, we consider both of these models to be valuable for providing important insights concerning how consciousness is able to gather information from the future. The first model is based on general concepts of mind-matter developed from observations and analysis of many psi experiments. The second model is based on the fundamental concept of the organization of systems. Our hope is that the mathematics of Link Theory can be applied to both of these models to guide investigations of consciousness, precognition and life itself.
The key elements of their heuristic model are shown in the adjacent figure and the model implications, as suggested by Jahn and Dunne, are quoted here: The Theory of Enformed Systems... What Are Face exercises?
Just like you can exercise your arms and stomach to tighten up your muscles in those areas, you can do face exercises to tighten the muscles in your face.
