  • Changing Identity in the Novels of Bernard Maclaverty Jordan Leigh
    ABSTRACT Through the Lens of the Land: Changing Identity in the Novels of Bernard MacLaverty Jordan Leigh Gibson, M.A. Director: Richard Rankin Russell, Ph.D. Many critics, like Oona Frawley, believe the land of Ireland has the unique power to connect the collective Irish conscience to the past and is often a rallying cry to garner support for the freedom of Ireland. MacLaverty explores this cultural mindset in Lamb (1980) and Cal (1983) and eventually refutes it as a healthy and effective way for Northern Irish Catholics to identify themselves and find purpose in their lives. Grace Notes (1997), MacLaverty’s third novel, eschews the romantic view of the land, and allows Catherine McKenna to explore the possibilities of finding an international identity through her connection with foreign lands although she still finds strength through her connection with the land. Northern Ireland, it seems, could not provide contemporary citizens with a hope and a future; therefore, they must look towards a transnational identity open to outside influence while being rooted in the local landscape.

  • Comprehensive Catalog of 1700 Project Blue Book UFO Unknowns
    Comprehensive Catalog of 1,700 Project Blue Book UFO Unknowns: Database Catalog (Not a Best Evidence List) – NEW: List of Projects & Blue Book Chiefs Work in Progress (Version 1.27, Dec. 20, 2016) Compiled by Brad Sparks © 2001-2016 The main purpose of this catalog at present is to help identify and fill in where possible missing or difficult-to-obtain U.S. Air Force documentation on better quality Unexplained UFO cases, not to present any so-called "proof" of UFO reality nor to discuss and argue possible IFO identifications (usually too voluminous to include in a mere catalog). These are subjects reserved for later analysis once full files can be examined (with a few exceptions on IFO’s noted below). This is not a list of official USAF designations of “Unexplained” or “Unknown” cases as it has proven to be almost impossible to establish when such evaluations were considered final or definitive and many more cases misdesignated IFO’s have turned out to be Unexplained UFO’s based on recent analyses. Here the goal is preliminary and to compile more complete documentation, not the perfection of the analysis or categorizations. Many cases here are merely placeholders for later work to fill in more info from the BB files or other sources. This catalog will be used eventually to produce another catalog of UFO Best Evidence, after a screening process based on Hynek's and on other criteria. For that reason columns for data on Duration, No. of Witnesses, Angular Size and "Instrumentation/Scientists etc." have been separately presented from the available case data and/or calculated where possible.
