Everyone thought it was a great way to make our big entrance and my wife was so happy that we ended up doing it! It will always be a great memory to have, as well as the pictures to remember it.

Depressed and angry, we almost decided to have the Rover’s container loaded on a ship straight to Los Angeles, when the express agent finally called. On May 16, we finally could meet customs and quarantine officers at the quarantine depot to have the Landy cleared—if there weren't a bunch of flies coming out, that is.... As we arrived, we couldn't believe our eyes. This was a quarantine depot? It looked like a totally open area. The Landy sat out of its container coated in a thick layer of dust! It turned out the very nice customs officer paid far more attention to the Landy itself than the dirt (once again). Happy not to find foreign soil in any of the critical places, the agent released our Land Rover. Still, yet another missing piece of paper delayed us; our express Kings Canyon we then saw our first wild-roaming camel, agent hemmed and hawed, and finally, we drove off former beasts of burden introduced generations ago, with the Rover.

  • Ella Mitchell: a Forerunner of Liberation Spirituality Among African American Women
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Ella Mitchell: A Forerunner of Liberation Spirituality among African American Women A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Kanika A.M. Magee Washington, D.C. 2012 Ella Mitchell: A Forerunner of Liberation Spirituality among African American Women Kanika A.M. Magee, Ph.D. Director: Raymond Studzinski, O.S.B., Ph.D. Ella Mitchell (1917-2008) reflects an emphasis on liberation that is inspired and empowered by the influence of God. Though a small body of literature exists by and about women of African American descent, few texts explore their lives and contributions to culture and none have noted the contributions of Mitchell’s life and work as a model of lived liberation spirituality. This dissertation explores the life experience and achievements of Mitchell, who was the first female dean of Spelman College’s Sisters Chapel, the first African American woman to become president and serve on the Board of Educational Ministries of the American Baptist Church, and the first female to preach at the historic Hampton Ministers’ Conference. Mitchell was the first to pull together the voices of African American women preachers for publication and did so through a series of five ground- breaking books entitled Those Preachin’ Women (1985, 1988, 1996, 2004, and 2008). Segundo Galilea’s concept of liberation spirituality and its dimensions provides a framework for analysis of Mitchell’s life and contributions.

Her courses pushed my scholarship in new and exciting directions that shaped this project and will surely shape my work for years to come. She was patient with my writing process—reading many drafts that were often quite long- winded—and guided me to think in more sophisticated ways. I can’t imagine a better advisor. Tracey Deutsch has also been a great support and consistently generous about reading my work. Mary Vavrus has been encouraging throughout my graduate career; her enthusiasm has more than once buoyed my confidence during the long and sometimes frustrating dissertation process. And thanks to Ron Greene, who made it possible for me to stay on in the program for a fifth year, which allowed me to write a much better dissertation.

  • An Overview of Ocean Renewable Energy
    An Overview of Ocean Renewable Energy Christopher D. Barry, P.E. (WA, CA) 1 Paul Kamen, P.E. 2 The Official 2009 Earth Day Poster Abstract: For at least a century, innovators have looked on wind, waves, tides, warm ocean waters, marine organisms and the salt in the sea as potential sources of energy. More recently, even use of heat from marine vulcanism has been suggested. Although there have been any number of creative technologies invented to exploit these resources and numerous trials, these sources have only provided a miniscule amount of energy. Much of the reason for this has been the relatively low cost of competing forms of energy, especially fossil fuels. Concerns about carbon dioxide and global warming and the security and long term availability of fossil fuel supplies has led to greatly renewed interest in all forms of renewable energy. The current administration has emphasized its interest in renewable energy both as a replacement for fossil fuels and as a job creation engine, and is providing vastly increased funding for all forms of renewables, so the time may have come for ocean renewable energy as well. This paper presents a basic review of the technology of each of the major sources including wave conversion, fixed and floating wind turbines, free flowing current turbines, ocean thermal energy, salinity gradient and marine biofuels, and discusses the magnitudes of each of the resources, and the particular technical issues each technology is facing. A history of some notable historic efforts is presented and specific current efforts are discussed. However, many of the key issues of ocean renewable energy do not involve the technology of the conversion devices, but how ocean renewable energy sources relate to the overall system of energy, the environment, public policy and the practical and business issues of introducing such radical new systems into the existing energy and marine industries.

  • DICK STRAWBRIDGE Engineer-Inventor, Sustainability Expert, Motivational Speaker & TV Presenter Agent: Sophie Laurimore
    DICK STRAWBRIDGE Engineer-inventor, Sustainability Expert, Motivational Speaker & TV Presenter Agent: Sophie Laurimore Dick was born in Burma in September 1959, the third of seven children. He was raised and educated in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. In 1978 Dick joined the Army, and completed degree in Electrical Engineering. Over the next 20 years he rose from Troop Commander to Lieutenant Colonel, and enjoyed serving in the army (and playing rugby) all over the world. Dick's family persuaded him to audition for Channel 4's Scrapheap Challenge. His leadership abilities, personality and engineering skills, (and possibly because he had the biggest moustache the series producers had ever seen) secured him the job. Dick was in all 10 series of the show - first as a team captain, then as a contestant and finally as a presenter. In 2001 Dick left the army and began a career in industry. He also ran leadership and teamwork courses, and began giving lectures to schools and colleges. He then went on to present Crafty Tricks of War, BBC 2. In this series, Dick celebrated British ingenuity and demonstrated his practical skills by reconstructing and testing some of the most unusual inventions of war. Following this Dick was part of the production, Geronimo, BBC 2, co-presenting with Ferne Cotton. Dick again demonstrated his extensive technical knowledge, as he challenged some of the great British public to build some of the craziest machines seen on television. In 2006 Dick and his family made a life changing move from The Malverns to Cornwall to a small holding that they restored and set about running sustainably.
