![]() Tipton belongs to a group of 25 families that lost sons at fraternities in recent years. They are forcing universities and legislatures to publicize fraternity infractions, rein in their behavior and toughen the penalties after injuries and deaths. Grieving families are pushing to investigate deaths once dismissed as roughhousing gone wrong. Parents like Deborah Tipton are fighting to pierce the veil of secrecy that has protected fraternities for two centuries on American college campuses. ![]() “What they’re hoping is I’ll go away,” she says. Walt Jones, the supervising assistant district attorney in High Point, says there is no evidence of a homicide or any reason to reopen the case. The judge also removed the national fraternity, which declined to comment for this story, from the suit the remaining defendants are two fraternity members, who deny wrongdoing. “We continue to be saddened by the loss of Robert Tipton, whose tragic death at an unaffiliated, off-campus-housing apartment complex six years ago was ruled a drug overdose by the state medical examiner,” Haynes says. The court ruled that, under the law, the school and its administrators did not have a duty to protect Tipton, a decision that was upheld on appeal. Spokeswoman Pam Haynes, declining to make Qubein or other officials available for interviews, notes that a judge removed the university from a wrongful-death lawsuit the Tipton family filed. The university said it “strongly rejected” Deborah Tipton’s accusations. ![]() In 2010, the police department named him an honorary colonel. Qubein, whose $2.35 million in annual compensation makes him one of the highest-paid college presidents, has donated to – and raised tens of millions of dollars for – the city of High Point. Since 2005, Qubein has raised more than $300 million for the school, transforming it from a sleepy Methodist institution to a lavishly appointed campus of outdoor hot tubs and big-screen dorm TVs that draws affluent students from across the U.S. In her view, the police have no interest in going after one of the community’s most influential institutions. Tipton says the university is covering up the truth, in part because the son of High Point University President Nido Qubein belonged to the fraternity. High Point University had insisted on a subpoena before providing names, she said, but the police department never sent one. “How and where did they come from? Talk to Frat Brothers.” The detective later acknowledged she never did. The autopsy photos showed that he had angry purple bruises on his face, around his neck and on his legs and buttocks, as well as a jagged gash on his head.Ī police detective had jotted down notes. Four years after Robert’s death, her team got its hands on the full police file. Case closed.Īnd Tipton says she has found plenty to make her question the official story. The authorities would later rule his death an accident, a drug overdose, another example of fraternity partying run amok. Robert, 22 and a junior at High Point University in North Carolina, was dead. Tipton has struggled to untangle the last hours of her son’s life ever since March 26, 2012, the balmy Monday when police officers gave her the news. They’re just going to yell at us a bunch and maybe make us work out or eat something nasty. “What could they do that’s so bad in two hours. I didn’t even sleep last night and was shaking.” ![]() As if searching for a clue from beyond the grave, she pores over the most painful pages, the ones containing text messages from her dead son. In her grand Memphis home, the scene of elegant dinner parties and fundraisers, police reports and private investigators’ notes cover an antique dining table. It’s almost midnight when Deborah Tipton settles down to study the evidence once again. ![]()

Our new findings, however, suggest that the effect is not only subjective. "It can easily take one's subjective personal experience and manipulate it. "Music is a relatively abstract emotional carrier," says Prof. Listening to sounds with our eyes closed seems to wire together a direct connection to the regions of our brains that process emotions, says Prof. And the converse of the scary music effect may be true: happy music could produce a joyous effect when our eyes are shut as well. ![]() The experience of scary music becomes more emotionally and physically intense. Hendler's research suggests that, when our eyes are closed, a region in our brain called the amygdala is fired up. Her research was just published in PLoS One and builds on her 2007 study published in Cerebral Cortex. This finding may have therapeutic value in treating people with brain disorders. Hendler found that the simple act of voluntarily closing one's eyes - instead of listening to music and sounds in the dark - can elicit more intense physical responses in the brain itself. ![]() ![]() adventure, history, romance, fantasy.”-The Arizona Republic, on An Echo in the Bone “A grand adventure written on a canvas that probes the heart, weighs the soul and measures the human spirit across ten generations.”-CNN, on The Fiery Cross “Escapist historical fiction at its best.”-San Antonio Express-News, on Drums of Autumn “A feast for ravenous readers of eighteenth-century Scottish history, heroism and romance. ![]() Praise for Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series “All you’ve come to expect from Gabaldon.

Peace, and Happy Eve of All Saints!! Reply I have been convicted to pray for you and other popular Catholic bloggers that I'm sure endure the same hardships. It hadn't occurred to me before, but now it seems obvious that the Evil one would try to attack you and the witness that your blog is for so many.

I make sure to let them know that I love their posts by commenting or re-sharing them to my story.” Outside of the comparisons, Eva says that she has interacted a bit with the passionate fandom behind The Loud House franchise. “However, I am fairly confident that fans are going to love Leni Loud in The Really Loud House just as they have for years! I genuinely believe that I am portraying Leni correctly, so I am very excited for fans to see me as her this November!” “It definitely frightened me to see fans angry she was being replaced,” she says. “ The Loud House has a huge, active fanbase, and Leni has one of the largest fanbases of the sisters – I feel a lot of pressure to portray her perfectly.” Some of the pressure, no doubt, comes from the comparisons made between her and the previous Leni actress, Dora Dolphin. “I was and am definitely nervous!” she confesses. The actress is well aware of the weight placed on her shoulders as she takes on a role other actors have left their mark on. “After booking the part, I went through and watched many Leni-heavy episodes to get a better feel for the character and the show overall,” Eva says. So when it came time to audition for Leni Loud, she wasn’t too familiar with all things The Loud House. Also, speaking of the rainbow, it has the exact same four colors as Arco Iris, except the colors red, yellow, green, and blue are in the right order, just like an actual rainbow.When The Loud House first hit Nickelodeon in 2016, Eva Carlton had already aged out of most television geared toward young audiences.The rainbow in this episode did not have an orange, indigo, or purple stripe, three colors that rainbows also have in real life.The tree background is recycled from Journey to Jaguar Mountain. ![]() When Click says, "Does this sound like the animal in trouble?" the audio is taken from Cool Water for Ana the Anaconda. ![]()

The obtained results may aid in understanding of grasping behaviors for handheld touchscreen devices in various applications. ![]() In terms of the synergies, the grasp for handheld touchscreen devices showed unique characteristics in terms of muscle and postural synergies compared to other objects. The first two muscle synergies from the EMG data and the first three postural synergies from the kinematic data were found to account for over 60% of the overall grasping. Electromyography (EMG) data were measured on six muscles in the forearm and the hand, and joint angles were measured for 22 joints in the hand. Fourteen healthy subjects performed up to 15 hand grasps, including that with a smartphone. To this end, principal component analysis and latent profile analysis clustering were used for extracting and grouping muscle and postural synergies. In this study, we investigated the grasp types of touchscreen devices and other objects included in an existing grasp taxonomy. However, they were limited to thumb operations and did not consider grasping. Previous studies on such handheld touchscreen devices focused on thumb operations or reach zones by measuring individual muscle or joint angles. Smartphones are currently among the most common handheld devices. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am as well a Guest Tutorial Designer Various Online Sites.

The best-selling bird feeder poles usually land somewhere between 80 to 95 inches in length.įinally, consider the materials. For the most part, the longer the pole, the better it'll be at preventing squirrels and other pests from reaching the feed - but if it's too high, it'll be less sturdy and harder for you to reach when it's time for maintenance or a refill. ![]() Next, think about the ideal height for your bird feeder. Free-standing bird feeders tend to be more expensive, as they're larger and need to be more carefully constructed for balance. The first thing to decide is where you want your bird feeder: Are you looking for a free-standing pole in the middle of your yard, or do you want one that attaches to your deck or balcony? How about mounting a feeder on your fence or a tree? This will determine the design and the price. In order to find the right one for your home, consider the design, the height, and the materials. The best bird feeder poles support and display your table, house, nectar feeder, or tube, while being strong enough to stand up to rust, toppling over, and unwanted pests. You've invested time and money into the perfect bird feeder - and now you need a place to hang it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here's a quick rundown of the useful bits.
