This chapter starts from the well-known episode in which Pope supposedly spiked a glass of wine with an emetic in order to ‘poison’ Curll. This prompted one of Pope’s most hilarious works in prose, the short pamphlet entitled A Full and True Account of a Horrid and Barbarous Revenge by Poison, On the Body of Mr. Edmund Curll, Bookseller (1716). This was a parody of Curll’s numerous biographies of recently deceased celebrities with their will attached. The chapter looks at examples in earlier literature using the motif of lacing a drink as an act of revenge. A number of satiric writers are cited, beginning with Horace and Lucian. However, the most direct precedent involves Crispinus (‘curly’, from the Latin), the central character in Ben Jonson’s comedy Poetaster (1602). Succeeding passages consider the use Pope makes of these texts, pointing out that the need to vomit is regularly inflicted on bad writers. Pope departed from the tradition in having the draught delivered to a bookseller, suggestive of a change in the nature of print culture.

In this chapter, we review the current state of this science for the measurement of daily ethnic and racial discrimination among ethnoracially minoritized youth. The goal of this chapter is to provide an understanding of the primary theoretical and empirical foundations for this research, to review the most recent findings and advancements in ethnic and racial discrimination measurement, and to highlight future directions that may prove important to understanding the daily experiences and health of ethnoracially minoritized youth. We highlight the foundation of this research in critical race theory, stress and coping research, and developmental and socioecological frameworks, we discuss the importance of daily methods in researching quotidian ethnic and racial discrimination, we review the health research that has contributed to our understanding of daily ethnic and racial discrimination assessment, and we highlight how measurement approaches should continue to evolve as social spaces, online contexts, and US society and institutions continually to shift.

Chapter 6 focuses on the CERIC element of Implications, providing a framework for understanding Implications in research articles. It highlights their role as indicators of future work and guides for expanding scientific inquiry. This chapter begins by defining Implications and how they manifest in different research areas. It also explores the common types of Implications, indicating incompleteness in the present work, pointing toward future validation studies, and suggesting future research directions. This chapter discusses how today’s implications often become tomorrow’s research questions, underscoring their importance in driving the progression toward new knowledge generation. This chapter distinguishes between Implications, Claims, and Context in research articles, providing comparative analysis and techniques for differentiation.

A full conceptualization of discrimination requires that research focuses on preventing discriminatory behaviors, which are largely perpetrated by White individuals, as well as on larger systems of structural racism and White supremacy in which discrimination experiences are embedded and from which they emanate. The current chapter presents an integrated model of anti-racist socialization for White parents, synthesizing the critical consciousness, anti-racism, and parental racial socialization literatures. The model includes three elements of anti-racist racial socialization: (1) racial content, (2) socioemotional competencies, and (3) parenting processes. The model grounds anti-racist racial socialization in White families as part of the daily activity settings of parent–child interactions, positioning anti-racist socialization as regular, ongoing, and integrated into daily life.

This chapter reviews the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention’s (WGAD) approach to issues of evidence and burdens of proof. It aims to provide a useful point of comparison with the UNTBs’ evidentiary procedures. The WGAD has developed an increasingly sophisticated approach to evidence, providing strong incentives for other decision-making bodies to take up its conclusions and procedures. In this chapter, the following arguments are substantiated: first, that the Working Group’s increasingly formalised and standardised approach to evidence reflects the maturing of the Working Group and its entrenchment in the ecosystem of human rights bodies; second, that its nuanced evidentiary approach can serve to enhance its credibility with states and claimants, in order to increase compliance rates; and third, its detailed approaches to evidentiary standards and challenges could provide precedents for UNTBs with individual claims mandates to follow a similar approach.

A chronologically ordered account of the different phases of Curll’s activities in the trade.

At the start of the aletheistic tradition, in the Confessions Augustine pioneers a phenomenological approach to fixing the reference to God by means of a novel linguistic act, overheard praise, which mirrors and frames the beautiful forms of created things as themselves overheard linguistic acts; the existential choice of the reader is either to leave the speech as overheard or to enter the speech as addressee. Augustine interprets things as signs of their source, works out the objective order of love, and thematizes the paradox of God’s hidden presence and the creature’s beauty as a sign of the creator.

It is a must to dedicate the last chapter to the topic that, according to the promises in our Apology, occupies a central place in our book: the longstanding and fascinating problem of the stability of the Solar System. On the other hand, we should not forget a warning often emphasized by Victor Szebehely: the concept of stability is itself unstable [250].
