Mourner's bench
At the First Baptist Church of Maeby, Arkansas, the sins of the child belonged to the parents until the child turned thirteen. Sarah Jones was only eight years old in the summer of 1964, but with her mother Esther Mae on eight prayer lists and flipping around town with the generally mistrusted civil rights organizers, Sarah believed it was time to get baptized and take responsibility for her own sins. That would mean sitting on the mourners bench come revival, waiting for her sign, and then testifying in front of the whole church. But first, Sarah would need to navigate the growing tensions of small-town Arkansas in the 1960s. Both smarter and more serious than her years (a \"fifty-year-old mind in an eight-year-old body,\" according to Esther), Sarah was torn between the traditions, religion, and work ethic of her community and the progressive civil rights and feminist politics of her mother, who had recently returned from art school in Chicago. When organizers from the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) came to town just as the revival was beginning, Sarah couldn't help but be caught up in the turmoil. Most folks just wanted to keep the peace, and Reverend Jefferson called the SNCC organizers \"the evil among us.\" But her mother, along with local civil rights activist Carrie Dilworth, the SNCC organizers, Daisy Bates, attorney John Walker, and indeed most of the country, seemed determined to push Maeby toward integration.

Sin Nombre Virus as Unlikely Reverse Zoonotic Threat
We inoculated clinical materials into deer mice to attempt isolation of Sin Nombre virus. We did not observe productive infection in the natural rodent reservoir. Genomic comparisons between rodent reservoirs and human disease may provide insight into hantavirus evolution and genetic determinants, but reverse zoonosis of Sin Nombre virus appears unlikely.

Genomic Analysis of Sin Nombre Virus Sequences, Northwestern United States, 2023
We report Sin Nombre virus (SNV) genome sequences in the northwestern United States, including SNV sequences recovered from montane voles. Analysis of samples collected from 189 individual rodents revealed high SNV prevalence in the region and evidence of virus reassortment or coinfection, highlighting ongoing virus diversification in rodents.

Key Techniques of SINS/DVL Integrated Navigation System
Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) aided Strapdown Inertial Navigation System (SINS) is commonly used for the applications of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). In lack of other aiding sensors, how to maintain precise integrated navigation is still a challenge issue. In this paper, the structure and basic principles of the SINS is presented. Alignment calibration of SINS and DVL, fast in-motion alignment and data fusion are key factors which has great influence on the navigation accuracy. Research efforts taken in these fields in recent years are surveyed. This paper may provide a firm foundation for the researchers in related areas.

The Beauty Hunters
The Beauty Hunters offers a rare insight into Sudanese
Bedouin poetry, its evolution, aesthetics, and impact. Through an
in-depth profile of al-Ḥārdallo, the doyen of this art form, Adil
Babikir explores the attributes that established him as a poet of
international stature. The life of al-Ḥārdallo was a series of
journeys in pursuit of beauty. From wandering across the Buṭāna
wilderness to his adventures with women, he documented the ups and
downs of his life using superb verse. In addition to its aesthetic
value, al-Ḥārdallo's poetry offers rich material for Sudanese
studies as it carries glimpses of the sociopolitical developments
in Sudan during his lifetime, having lived through three distinct
eras: Turco-Egyptian rule (1820-1885), Mahdist rule (1885-1898),
and part of the Anglo-Egyptian era (1898-1956). Reading Bedouin
poetry in a hybrid context, as a major contributor to what Babikir
calls a uniquely Sudanese aesthetic taste, The Beauty
Hunters makes an invaluable addition to the discourse on
Sudan's cultural identity.

Aquinas at 800 – Papers from the 2024 Notre Dame Conference: Human Nature and Original Sin in Thomas Aquinas
The contemporary debate on human nature concerns two distinct issues, identified here as issues of ‘condition’ and ‘content’. These concern respectively the functional legitimacy or the formal use of the very concept of ‘(human) nature’, and –when such a nature is asserted– its defining characteristics. The debate on nature took an important turn when Aquinas integrated the different views of Aristotle and Augustine, both with regard to the condition and the content issue. In this paper, I focus on the epistemological functions of ‘human nature’ as part of the ‘condition’ issue, and on the consequences of original sin and the four wounds of human nature in Aquinas’s theology, as part of the ‘content’ issue.
