Lipman Pamphlet to accompany Geologic Investigations Series I–2799 dacite Ceobolla Creek Tuff Nelson Mountain Tuff, rhyolite Rat Creek Tuff, dacite Cebolla Creek Tuff Rat Creek Tuff, rhyolite Wheeler Geologic Monument (Half Moon Pass quadrangle) provides exceptional exposures of three outflow tuff sheets erupted from the San Luis caldera complex. Lowest sheet is Rat Creek Tuff, which is nonwelded throughout but grades upward from light-tan rhyolite (~74% SiO2) into pale brown dacite (~66% SiO2) that contains sparse dark-brown andesitic scoria. Distinctive hornblende-rich middle Cebolla Creek Tuff contains basal surge beds, overlain by vitrophyre of uniform mafic dacite that becomes less welded upward. Uppermost Nelson Mountain Tuff consists of nonwelded to weakly welded, crystal-poor rhyolite, which grades upward to a densely welded caprock of crystal-rich dacite (~68% SiO2).

  • Oil, Natural Gas and Helium Potential of the Chupadera Mesa Area, Lincoln and Socorro Counties, New Mexico
    Oil, natural gas and helium potential of the Chupadera Mesa area, Lincoln and Socorro Counties, New Mexico by Ronald F. Broadhead and Glen Jones February 27, 2004 New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources A division of New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology Socorro, NM 87801 Oil, natural gas and helium potential of the Chupadera Mesa area, Lincoln and Socorro Counties, New Mexico By Ronald F. Broadhead1 and Glen Jones2 1 Principal Petroleum Geologist and 2 Assistant Director for Computer/Internet Services New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, a division of New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801 ABSTRACT The Chupadera Mesa region encompasses 3900 mi2 in eastern Socorro and western Lincoln Counties, central New Mexico. The area includes varied geological elements including the broad Jornada del Muerto Basin in the west, and the Oscura Mountains and Chupadera Mesa in the medial area. The Laramide-age Sierra Blanca Basin and several isolated mountain ranges formed principally by Tertiary-age igneous intrusive bodies occupy the eastern third of the region. The Chupadera Mesa area has been sparsely drilled. A total of 45 wells have been drilled within the project area. This is a density of approximately one well for every 85 mi2. Many of the wells are shallow and reached total depth in Permian strata. Only 20 wells have been drilled to Precambrian basement. This is a density of one well per 200 mi2, or 6.4 townships. Neither oil, natural gas nor helium production have been established. Nevertheless, several of the wells have encountered promising shows of oil, natural gas, and helium.

Besides having specific implications for the formation of these particular features, our project will aid in understanding similar structures across the Colorado Plateau. Various researchers [e.g., Rubin, 1991; Mériaux and Jaupart, 1998; Segall et al., 2001] imagine the emplacement of a dike as vertical movement through host rock, often along preexisting faults or cracks, driven by magma pressure, and modified by the change in stress regime with depth. Other models [e.g., Delaney and Pollard, 1981; Quareni et al., 2001] allow magma to flow in pipes in addition to, and possibly following, its emplacement in dikes. Our results will provide valuable data against which to test such competing models of magma emplacement, and Figure 1: View of the Ship Rock diatreme from the – in a wider sense – aid in understanding diverse South-East (Photo: Brett Mayhew) processes like hydraulic fracturing, tensile fracturing, and dike-generated seismicity [Baer, Seven dikes of mafic minette (a potassic mica 1991]. lamprophyre containing phlogopite) extend from the diatreme.

Changing Woman is the Holy Being that created the four original clans of the Navajo and saved humans from the monsters that were destroying the earth.

  • Latter-Day Saint Liturgy: the Administration of the Body and Blood of Jesus
    religions Article Latter-Day Saint Liturgy: The Administration of the Body and Blood of Jesus James E. Faulconer Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Latter-day Saint (“Mormon”) liturgy opens its participants to a world undefined by a stark border between the transcendent and immanent, with an emphasis on embodiment and relationality. The formal rites of the temple, and in particular that part of the rite called “the endowment”, act as a frame that erases the immanent–transcendent border. Within that frame, the more informal liturgy of the weekly administration of the blood and body of Christ, known as “the sacrament”, transforms otherwise mundane acts of living into acts of worship that sanctify life as a whole. I take a phenomenological approach, hoping that doing so will deepen interpretations that a more textually based approach might miss. Drawing on the works of Robert Orsi, Edward S. Casey, Paul Moyaert, and Nicola King, I argue that the Latter-day Saint sacrament is not merely a ritualized sign of Christ’s sacrifice. Instead, through the sacrament, Christ perdures with its participants in an act of communal memorialization by which church members incarnate the coming of the divine community of love and fellow suffering. Participants inhabit a hermeneutically transformed world as covenant children born again into the family of God. Keywords: Mormon; Latter-day Saint; liturgy; rites; sacrament; endowment; temple; memory Citation: Faulconer, James E. 2021. Latter-Day Saint Liturgy: The In 1839, in contrast to most other early nineteenth-century American religious leaders, Administration of the Body and Joseph Smith, the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints1 said, “Being Blood of Jesus.

DESCRIPTORS Academic Achievement; Adult Education; *American Indian Education; American Indians; *Demonstration Programs; *Educational Practices; Elementary Secondary Education; Evaluation Criteria; Higher Education; Program Descriptions ABSTRACT This book presents 16 exemplary programs in schools that enroll American Indian or Alaska Native students. Exemplary, by definition, means the top 5 percent of education programs in student outcomes. In most cases, these programs are in the top 1 percent. Each program entryincludes contact information, a narrative description, and in some cases, awards received, documentation of student outcomes, and other relevant information. Schools range from elementary through college and include public, private, tribal, and nonprofit. Programs address student support services, comprehensive school improvement, dropout prevention, adult education, college preparation, technology integration, and other areas. All 16 programs are summarized on one page in the beginning of the book, and program characteristics are presented in chart form. A brief history of Indian education is followed by a description of the 11 elements that are characteristic of exemplary programs: acknowledgement of the problem; set priorities for problems; vision, planning; commitment; restructuring and retraining; goal setting; experimentation, testing, and evaluation; outreach; expertise; and administrative support.
