It's time to find self-confident local leaders who will create No Excuses countercultures in places like Haiti, surrounding people — maybe just in a neighborhood or a school — with middle-class assumptions, an achievement ethos and tough, measurable demands.
The characters' middle-class assumptions crumble as life is stripped down to a matter of mere survival: a college degree in design or music becomes an unimaginable luxury (Lowell's 17-year-old daughter turns instead to prostitution) and they look back with incredulity on a world where people had the leisure and means to indulge affectations.
The model is first validated by a quasi-static test series on reinforced concrete sub-assemblages under middle column loss assumption and a blast test series using the same structural configurations.
Cluster analysis significantly distinguished African cultivars from Iranian and Iraqi ones, suggesting that the domestication of African date palms have followed a different route than those grown in the Middle-East, an assumption which is supported by Mantel test and Bayesian analysis.
Yet, on the assumption that middle income countries have less need for aid, major development organisations are absent in Namibia.
There seems to be an assumption that middle- and high school educators know how to educate underprepared students, if only they had more money.
The middle of receiver-spread assumption was further verified, which provides a guideline to applying surface-wave methods to near-surface problems.
Under the assumption that middle ear function is normal, reduced OAEs are an indication of dysfunction of the cochlear amplifier that requires normal function of OHCs and the stria vascularis.
But his own story undermines the dreary claim that the classes have to be segregated and the assumption that middle-class fans are in some way inferior to the real thing.
Erikson's work opened up a new field of study in adult development and helped inspire the kind of research that really could overturn our dreary assumptions about middle age, if we would let it.
