    ANNUAL REPORT 2014-2015 School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015 Executive Summary The 2014 – 2015 academic year was a very successful one for the School of Sciences and Mathematics (SSM). Our faculty continued their stellar record of publication and securing extramural funding, and we were able to significantly advance several capital projects. In addition, the number of majors in SSM remained very high and we continued to provide research experiences for a significant number of our students. We welcomed four new faculty members to our ranks. These individuals and their colleagues published 187 papers in peer‐reviewed scientific journals, many with undergraduate co‐authors. Faculty also secured $6.4M in new extramural grant awards to go with the $24.8M of continuing awards. During the 2013‐14 AY, ground was broken for two 3,000 sq. ft. field stations at Dixie Plantation, with construction slated for completion in Fall 2014. These stations were ultimately competed in June 2015, and will begin to serve students for the Fall 2015 semester. The 2014‐2015 academic year, marked the first year of residence of Computer Science faculty, as well as some Biology and Physics faculty, in Harbor Walk. In addition, nine Biology faculty had offices and/or research space at SCRA, and some biology instruction occurred at MUSC. In general, the displacement of a large number of students to Harbor Walk went very smoothly. Temporary astronomy viewing space was secured on the roof of one of the College’s garages. The SSM dean’s office expended tremendous effort this year to secure a contract for completion of the Rita Hollings Science Center renovation, with no success to date.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

LANGSTROTH Lorenzo Lorrain Langstroth, the "father of American Apiculture," was bom in the city of Philadelphia, December 25, 1810. He early showed unusual interest in insect life. His parents were intelligent and in comfortable circumstances, but they were not pleased to see him "waste so much time" in digging holes in the gravel walks, filling them with crumbs of bread and dead flies, to watch the curious habits of the ants. No books of any kind on natural history were put into his hands, but, on the contrary, much was said to discourage his "strange notions." Still he persisted in his observations, and gave to them much of the time that his playmates spent in sport. In 1827, he entered Yale College, graduating in 1831. His father's means having failed, he supported himself by teach- ing, while pursuing his theological studies.

  • Mot De Présentation Penser Ensemble Les Limites De La Société Et De La Drogue
    Mot de présentation Penser ensemble les limites de la société et de la drogue Marc Perreault, directeur du numéro Dans mes continuelles extases, je m’enivrai à torrents des plus délicieux sentiments qui jamais soient entrés dans un cœur d’homme. Oubliant tout à fait la race humaine, je me fis des sociétés de créatures parfaites, aussi célestes par leurs vertus que par leurs beautés, d’amis sûrs, tendres, fidèles, tels que je n’en trouvai jamais ici-bas. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Les confessions II, p. 183) Les vices entrent dans la composition des vertus comme les poisons entrent dans la composi- tion des remèdes. La prudence les assemble et les tempère et elle s’en sert utilement contre les maux de la vie. La Rochefoucauld (Maximes, 182) De même qu’il y a de la bonne et de la mauvaise musique, il y a de bonnes et de mauvaises drogues. Et donc, pas plus que nous ne pouvons dire que nous sommes « contre » la musique, nous ne pouvons dire que nous sommes « contre » les drogues. Michel Foucault (Dits et écrits IV, p. 738) Tous droits réservés © Drogues, santé et société, vol. 16, no 2, octobre 2017 Mot de présentation Drogue et société, voilà deux mots familiers que nous employons sans nous interroger sur leur signi- fication. Cette familiarité leur procure chacun une polysémie variable selon l’usage et l’intention. On parle volontiers de l’amour comme d’une drogue douce ou dure. On compare les dépendances comportementales à des drogues. Jusqu’à la philosophie qui devient drogue (Tellez, 2012) ! On parle de société secrète, de société intoxiquée (Xiberras, 1989) ou encore de société globale comme si le mot société allait de soi.

Langstroth, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of Massachusetts. C. A.. MIRICK, PRINTER, GREENFIELD. PREFACE. This Treatise on the Hive and the Honey-Bee, is re- spectfully submitted by Ihe Author, to the candid con- sideration of those who are interested in the culture of the most useful as well as wonderful Insect, in all the range of Animated Nature. The information which it contains will be found to be greatly in advance of any- thing which has yet been presented to the English Read- er; and, as far as facilities for practical management are concerned, it is believed to be a very material ad- vance over anything which has hitherto been commu- nicated to the Apiarian Public. Debarred, by the state of his health, from the more appropriate duties of his Office , and compelled to seek an employment which would call him, as much as possible, into the open air, the Author indulges the hope that the result of his studies and observations, in an important branch of Natural History, will be found of service to the Community as well as to himself.

  • The Poems of Henry Van Dyke
    THE POEMS OF HENRY VAN DYKE NOW FIRST COLLECTED AND REVISED WITH MANY HITHERTO UNPUBLISHED NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNER S SONS MCMXI Copyright, 1911, by Charles Scribner s Sons Published September, 1011 A &quot; A WORD IN PROSE TO MY GENTLE READER Tins book is intended only for you, because you alone will keep it with you long enough to feel its meaning. Plere is gathered and set in order all that I have been per mitted to write, as yet, of the poetry that has come to me. I hoped once that it would be more, and feared often that it might be less. The long silent interval between the earlier and the later poems was filled with hard work at the call of duty. I have laboured in the vineyard and fought in the ranks. The youthful plan of a whole life devoted to the art of poetry has not been fulfilled. Instead has come an experience of the power of poetry to cheer and illumine the whole of life. Metre and rhyme have a deep relation to the rhythm of human emotion, of which I grow more sure the less I can explain it. Some call them a bondage, but the natural harmony of such laws makes for true freedom. Therefore, while using the older metri cal forms with love and care, I have also adventured new ones, believing that English poesy has to win a larger liberty in those happy regions which lie between the formal and the formless. What I have seen and felt and dreamed beyond the horizon of prose, yet ever in the most real world, is here interpreted in verse.
