  • Metro Response to Public Comments Proposed License for Grimm's Fuel

    Metro Response to Public Comments Proposed License for Grimm's Fuel

    Metro response to public comments Proposed license for Grimm’s Fuel Company Metro response to public comments received during the comment period in October through November 2018 regarding proposed license conditions for Grimm’s Fuel Company. Prepared by Hila Ritter January 4, 2019 BACKGROUND Grimm’s Fuel Company (Grimm’s), is a locally-owned and operated Metro-licensed yard debris composting facility that primarily accepts yard debris for composting. In general, Metro’s licensing requirements for a composting facility set conditions for receiving, managing, and transferring yard debris and other waste at the facility. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) also has distinct yet complementary requirements for composting facilities and monitors environmental impacts of facilities to protect air, soil, and water quality. Metro and DEQ work closely together to provide regulatory oversight of solid waste facilities such as Grimm’s. On October 22, 2018, Metro opened a formal public comment period for several new conditions of the draft license for Grimm’s. The public comment period closed on November 30, 2018. Metro also hosted a community conversation during that time to further solicit input and discuss next steps. During the formal comment period, Metro received 119 written comments from individuals and businesses (attached). Metro received an additional six written comments via email after the comment period closed at 5 p.m. on November 30, which did not become an official part of the record. After the comment period closed, members of the Tualatin community requested that Metro extend the term of Grimm’s current license for an additional two months to allow the public an opportunity to review the new proposed license in its entirety before it is issued.

INTRODUCTION Gambling permeates throughout American society. One cannot watch television without stumbling upon a poker show,' listen to the radio without hearing the amount of today's lotto jackpot,2 or go on the Internet without encountering an advertisement for a gambling website. When one thinks of this country's history, the image of the frontier saloon with its raucous drinking and debauchery goes hand in hand with gambling, mainly poker. In nearly every state in the Union, to one extent or another, there exists some form of legalized gambling.3 With such an ever pervasive culture of gambling in this country, why is Internet gambling the bane that needs to be eradicated from modem society? The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 20064 ("Act" or "UIGEA") is only the most recent legislation passed by Congress in an attempt to curb the ongoing "problem" that is Internet gambling.5 Simply stated, the Act prevents those transactions that are deemed restricted from being settled through any financial institution, including banks and credit cards.

  • An Analysis of the Devil in the Original Folk and Fairy Tales

    An Analysis of the Devil in the Original Folk and Fairy Tales

    Syncretism or Superimposition: An Analysis of the Devil in The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm Tiffany Stachnik Honors 498: Directed Study, Grimm’s Fairy Tales April 8, 2018 1 Abstract Since their first full publication in 1815, the folk and fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm have provided a means of studying the rich oral traditions of Germany. The Grimm brothers indicated time and time again in their personal notes that the oral traditions found in their folk and fairy tales included symbols, characters, and themes belonging to pre-Christian Germanic culture, as well as to the firmly Christian German states from which they collected their folk and fairy tales. The blending of pre-Christian Germanic culture with Christian, German traditions is particularly salient in the figure of the devil, despite the fact that the devil is arguably one of the most popular Christian figures to date. Through an exploration of the phylogenetic analyses of the Grimm’s tales featuring the devil, connections between the devil in the Grimm’s tales and other German or Germanic tales, and Christian and Germanic symbolism, this study demonstrates that the devil in the Grimm’s tales is an embodiment of syncretism between Christian and pre-Christian traditions. This syncretic devil is not only consistent with the history of religious transformation in Germany, which involved the slow blending of elements of Germanic paganism and Christianity, but also points to a greater theme of syncretism between the cultural traditions of Germany and other

To hear the whole show, visit www.sciencemag.org and click on “Science Podcast.” Music Interviewer – Sarah Crespi Finally today, I’m here with David Grimm, online news editor for Science. He’s here to give us a rundown of some of the recent stories from our daily news site. I’m Sarah Crespi. So Dave, first up we have “dam” deforestation. Interviewee – David Grimm Sarah, this story is about hydropower. This is a major source of power in the world; turbines hooked up to dams, the water flows down, spins the turbine, and can power a lot. In fact, there is a dam that’s being constructed in Brazil called the Belo Monte Dam, which is a 14 billion dollar project. And when it’s complete, it will have the third greatest capacity for generating hydropower in the world. Interviewer – Sarah Crespi Okay, so what about the trees? Interviewee – David Grimm Well, there’s a problem: to build these dams you’ve got to cut down a lot of trees, and that has its own ecological problems. But engineers didn’t worry about the cutting down the trees themselves as a problem for the dam power; in fact, they thought that cutting down the trees would actually improve hydroelectric power, the reason being that trees suck up a lot of water from the soil. It’s a process known as evapotranspiration, where the water gets sucked up into the trees, the trees transpire the water through their leaves, and that water enters the atmosphere.

  • Becoming Christian: Personhood and Moral Cosmology in Acholi South

    Becoming Christian: Personhood and Moral Cosmology in Acholi South

    Becoming Christian: Personhood and Moral Cosmology in Acholi South Sudan Ryan Joseph O’Byrne Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Department of Anthropology, University College London (UCL) September, 2016 1 DECLARATION I, Ryan Joseph O’Byrne, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where material has been derived from other sources I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Ryan Joseph O’Byrne, 21 September 2016 2 ABSTRACT This thesis examines contemporary entanglements between two cosmo-ontological systems within one African community. The first system is the indigenous cosmology of the Acholi community of Pajok, South Sudan; the other is the world religion of evangelical Protestantism. Christianity has been in the region around 100 years, and although the current religious field represents a significant shift from earlier compositions, the continuing effects of colonial and early missionary encounters have had significant impact. This thesis seeks to understand the cosmological transformations involved in all these encounters. This thesis provides the first in-depth account of South Sudanese Acholi – a group almost entirely absent from the ethnographic record. However, its largest contributions come through wider theoretical and ethnographic insights gained in attending to local Acholi cosmological, ontological, and experiential orientations. These contributions are: firstly, the connection of Melanesian ideas of agency and personhood to Africa, demonstrating not only the relational nature of Acholi personhood but an understanding of agency acknowledging nonhuman actors; secondly, a demonstration of the primarily relational nature of local personhood whereby Acholi and evangelical persons and relations are similarly structured; and thirdly, an argument that, in South Sudan, both systems are ultimately about how people organise the moral fabric of their society.
