    Title: White Family Collection Manuscript Number: Mss-3325 Inclusive Dates: ca. 1925-2009 Quantity: 14.4 cu. ft. Location: WHW, Sh. B004-B006 (14.0 cu. ft.) RC21A, Sh. 005 (0.4 cu. ft.) Abstract: The White Family consisted of husband and wife Joseph Charles White and Nancy Metz White, and their twin daughters Michele and Jacqueline. Nancy was a local artist who designed and created sculptures constructed out of discarded scrap metal, heating and cooling ventilation pipes, and other recycled items. Originally from Madison, she graduated from UW- Madison with a bachelor’s degree in art education and also did graduate study there. She is primarily noted for creating large-scale outdoor public sculptures, which include Tree of Life in Mitchell Boulevard Park in 2002, Magic Grove in Enderis Park in 2006, Helping Hands at Mead Public Library in Sheboygan, and Fantasy Garden at St. John’s On the Lake. In addition to being a sculptor, Nancy also was an art teacher and the Creative Art Coordinator at Urban Day School Elementary from 1970 to 1978. Joseph C. White was born in 1925 in Michigan. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Northwestern University and also served in the Navy during World War II and the Korean conflict. In the 1960s, as Vice President of Inland Steel Products Company, he led the company’s involvement in the pioneering School Construction Systems Development (SCSD) project for California schools. He left Inland Steel and formed his own company, Syncon, to focus on modular construction projects. He was also an adjunct architecture professor at UW- Milwaukee.

  • Origin and History of Seventh-Day Adventists, Vol. 1
    Origin and History of Seventh-day Adventists FRONTISPIECE PAINTING BY HARRY ANDERSON © 1949, BY REVIEW AND HERALD As the disciples watched their Master slowly disappear into heaven, they were solemnly reminded of His promise to come again, and of His commission to herald this good news to all the world. Origin and History of Seventh-day Adventists VOLUME ONE by Arthur Whitefield Spalding REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION WASHINGTON, D.C. COPYRIGHT © 1961 BY THE REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION WASHINGTON, D.C. OFFSET IN THE U.S.A. AUTHOR'S FOREWORD TO FIRST EDITION THIS history, frankly, is written for "believers." The reader is assumed to have not only an interest but a communion. A writer on the history of any cause or group should have suffi- cient objectivity to relate his subject to its environment with- out distortion; but if he is to give life to it, he must be a con- frere. The general public, standing afar off, may desire more detachment in its author; but if it gets this, it gets it at the expense of vision, warmth, and life. There can be, indeed, no absolute objectivity in an expository historian. The painter and interpreter of any great movement must be in sympathy with the spirit and aim of that movement; it must be his cause. What he loses in equipoise he gains in momentum, and bal- ance is more a matter of drive than of teetering. This history of Seventh-day Adventists is written by one who is an Adventist, who believes in the message and mission of Adventists, and who would have everyone to be an Advent- ist.

  • Pandaw River Cruises
    Pandaw River Expeditions EXPEDITION No 2 THE UPPER GANGES RIVER 14 NIGHTS In 2019 we inaugurated an 'all Ganges' voyage of one thousand miles from Kolkata to Varanasi. Due to the challenges of navigation and the obstruction of numerous pontoon bridges it has been decided to sail as far as Patna and then overland to Varanasi. The sailing does though cover the best of the Ganges from the colonial splendours of Kolkotta, through the enchanting rural arcadia of West Bengal along the Hoogly and the great expanse of the Ganga itself with its pristine bird and wildlife and cultural treasures dotted along the banks. Though in the days of the British Raj paddle steamers plied this route on a regular basis, with the advent of the railways in India river navigation was abandoned and the rivers were allowed to silt up. Now thanks to a multi-million dollar investment from the Indian Government channels have been dredged and buoyed and hi tech GPS based aids installed enabling seasonal navigation. Varanasi, said to be the oldest inhabited city on the planet is the most sacred city of Hinduism and a place of overwhelming beauty at the same time poignantly moving with its cremation ghats. Varanasi is surely the goal of any 'passage to India' and at the other end of the holy river stands Kolkata, in all its Raj-like magnificence. Between lies several of the most important Buddhist sites including Sarnath, Nalanda and Bodh Gaya and cities great and small and between urban centres and great pilgrim sites are expanses of empty river teeming with bird life, not to mention the Gangeatic dolphin.

  • Stochastic Modeling of Bacterial Protein Domains Distribution to Predict Horizontal Gene Transfer
    Alma Mater Studiorum · Universita` di Bologna Scuola di Scienze Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Fisica Stochastic modeling of bacterial protein domains distribution to predict horizontal gene transfer Relatore: Presentata da: Prof. Gastone Castellani Marco Tamburi Correlatore: Prof. Daniel Remondini SessioneI Anno Accademico 2014/2015 Abstract In questo elaborato, abbiamo tentato di modellizzare i processi che regolano la presenza dei domini proteici. I domini proteici studiati in questa tesi sono stati ottenuti dai genomi batterici disponibili nei data base pubblici (principalmente dal National Cen- tre for Biotechnology Information: NCBI) tramite una procedura di simulazione com- putazionale. Ci siamo concentrati su organismi batterici in quanto in essi la presenza di geni trasmessi orizzontalmente, ossia che parte del materiale genetico non provenga dai genitori, `eassodato che sia presente in una maggiore percentuale rispetto agli organismi pi`uevoluti. Il modello usato si basa sui processi stocastici di nascita e morte, con l'aggiunta di un parametro di migrazione, usato anche nella descrizione dell'abbondanza relativa delle specie in ambito delle biodiversit`aecologiche. Le relazioni tra i parametri, calcolati come migliori stime di una distribuzione binomi- ale negativa rinormalizzata e adattata agli istogrammi sperimentali, ci induce ad ipotiz- zare che le famiglie batteriche caratterizzate da un basso valore numerico del parametro di immigrazione abbiano contrastato questo deficit con un elevato valore del tasso di nascita. Al contrario, ipotizziamo che le famiglie con un tasso di nascita relativamente basso si siano adattate, e in conseguenza, mostrano un elevato valore del parametro di migrazione. Inoltre riteniamo che il parametro di migrazione sia direttamente proporzionale alla quantit`adi trasferimento genico orizzontale effettuato dalla famiglia batterica.

  • WPA Firehouses, Fire Engine House No. 11; Zillman, P. 151)
    Jotf the firehouse was rented and used as sleeping quarters for the firemen. (WPA Firehouses, Fire Engine House No. 11; Zillman, p. 151) It took the Common Council until October 8, 1888, to adopt a resolution to purchase a site for a permanent firehouse in Bay View. On that date, authorization was given to purchase Lot 14, Block 15 on St. Clair Street for not more than $300. The Board of Public Works was authorized to advertise for proposals and let contracts for a firehouse at a cost not to exceed $7,000. The construction contract was ultimately let to Arthur H. Vogel on October 22, 1888. A. C. Apel received the plumbing contract and M. Davelaar was awarded a contract to do extra excavation at the site. Water pipe was laid along Wentworth Avenue and Potter Avenue from the artesian well on Pryor Avenue in order to service the engine house. The new structure was completed and put into service in April of 1889; the final cost totaled $6,651.79. Fire Department Captain Sebastian Brand designed the building. Brand, a former mason, was assigned to design and superintend the construction of all new firehouses shortly after joining the Fire Department. Brand went on to design over thirty firehouses for the department before his retirement on July 1, 1919. Like most of his designs, Engine House No. 11 was a simple two-story, three-bay, brick structure with a prominent cornice, corbeled stringcourse and stone lintels.

  • Anglicanism Gone Polytheistic in Praise of Lilith Le Fay the Atlantis
    The Anglicanism gone Polytheistic In Praise of Lilith Le Fay The Atlantis Line SUMMER SOLSTICE 2018 VOLUME 38 NUMBER 2 Established by Dion Fortune in 1922 1 I was recently asked to give a talk to a pagan group, it is always a challenge to think of a topic that will inspire and interest an audience, particularly when you do not know their level of awareness. Too basic a talk and you bore your audience and leave them with little new, too detailed you risk confusion. It is a case of being damned if you do or if you don’t. I decided to take the Qabalistic Tree of Life as the theme of my talk, and before I even started I had people saying that other talks on the subject had left them confused and bewildered, some saying they had even considered staying home. For me Qabalah has been the rock on which my understanding of the esoteric has been built. When I first encountered it and all its literature I must admit I too was bewildered but underlying the verdant morass of verbiage I found something elegant and beautiful. This led me to thinking about the way esoteric convention has sought to confuse and mislead the uninitiated seeker. Crowley’s writings were often deliberately wrong, with him saying those who knew would understand. It has been suggested that this was his way of being able to publish with a clear conscience, in the belief that he was not breaking the oath of his initiation. Thankfully for us Dion Fortune saw no such need, and I am with her on this.
