The Effect of Studying A Course in Miracles on Mental Well-being
In utilising cognitive restructuring techniques to treat mental distress, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) highlight the causal relationship between perception and experience. CBT and ACT however presume there is a separation: that the occurrence of an emotion, event, or other reality exists apart from and independent of its observation. As such, CBT and ACT are ontologically dualistic. This paper reports on a possible non-dualistic alternative to these treatment programs. The potential alternative examined is
A Course in Miracles
(ACIM): a creed of non-dualism that contains a self-study program of 365 workbook lessons aimed at restoring mental health through reframing and discontinuing dualistic perception. Effectiveness of this alternative was evaluated through 33 one-on-one interviews with participants (sourced through ACIM Meetup groups) who had completed the ACIM
Workbook
component. Findings report significant positive change for all interviewees regarding their attitudinal, emotional, and social lived experience.

Ontological Orientation as a Mediator of Perceptual Change
Self-other dualism results in a view of the self as continually under threat. A foreboding of fear, anxiety, depression, sorrow, and ultimately panic are likely outcomes. Belief withdrawal, particularly relinquishment of self-other dualism, has however been found to mitigate these outcomes. This article reports on a study examining the effectiveness of belief withdrawal attained through engagement with A Course in Miracles (ACIM), as devised by Dr Helen Schucman, a Professor of Medical Psychology at Columbia University’'s College of Physicians and Surgeons. One-on-one interviews were conducted with thirty-three participants (sourced through ACIM Meetup groups) who had completed the ACIM self-study program of 365 workbook lessons aimed at restoring mental health through the discontinuation of dualistic perception. The data indicates self-other belief relinquishment may be achieved through ACIM facilitating significant attitudinal and behavioural change. ACIM’s ontological orientation was found to play a significant role in facilitating these changes.

An application of convergence theory to Japan's post-WWII economic \miracle\
The author provides an interpretation of the post-World War II economic \"miracle\" of Japan as a process of economic convergence within the framework of the neoclassical Solow-Swan model of economic growth. He shows how the predictions of the Solow-Swan model are qualitatively consistent with the actual economic record of Japan in the decades following World War II. The article is intended to help in the teaching of economic growth and the Japanese economic miracle, either as part of a macroeconomics course or in an advanced elective course in economic growth and development or in Japan's modern economic history.

The Arizona Daily Star, Tucson, Greg Hansen column
[...]in a cluster of bodies, Johnson catapulted an air ball from 25 feet. After a UA timeout with 7:53 remaining, as CU led 56-41, Hill and Kevin Parrom, Arizona's two senior leaders, had shot a combined 3 for 16 afield (and missed all seven three-point attempts).
