Celebrating Student Achievement Day 2019
STRONG STUDENTS DARE TO COLLABORATE, CREATE, AND LEAD. RESEARCH PRESENTATIONS, POSTERS, PERFORMANCES, CREATIVE PROJECTS, AWARDS, EXHIBITS, AND MORE. 17th Annual Celebrating Student Achievement Program of Events Thursday, April 11, 2019 Volume 17, Number 1 17th Annual Celebrating Student Achievement Program of Events Thursday, April 11, 2019 UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH CONFERENCE ANNUAL ACADEMIC AND LEADERSHIP AWARDS CEREMONY SPECIAL EVENTS HIGHLIGHTING STUDENTS’ ACCOMPLISHMENTS Welcome It takes very little for me to get excited about our students’ futures — primarily because I get to see them grow from move-in day to where they are today. Bright, inquisitive, kind, reflective, mature, and authentic, they are spirited women who have a growing sense of their capabilities and strengths. While many students enter Meredith a bit unsure of what “research” might entail — and whether they are interested in or capable of conducting it — part of the growth lessons here encourage small steps into asking and answering important questions. Perhaps they focus on the “why” of a personality trait, or the “how” of an artist’s technique, or the “when” of a plant’s pollination and what those answers may mean for our world. Or they may test methods, eager to know how a change in chemical or application or calculation might alter the outcomes of an experiment. They talk with their faculty and staff mentors, and each other, about meaning and interpretation and “what if’s” and “what nexts” — all in the spirit of learning, engaging, and making meaning. CSA Day is the celebration of all the wonder our students bring to their studies and to their discussions and to their peers. -
2012-2013 Montserrat Seminar Descriptions
MONTSERRAT SEMINAR DESCRIPTIONS 2012-2013 The Montserrat Program is grouped into five different thematic clusters: Core Human Questions (C); The Divine (D); Global Society (G); The Natural World (N); and The Self (S). Each cluster contains seminars examining the theme from a variety of perspectives. Core Human Questions MONT 100C Greeks Reconstructing the Past (fall The writing of history is one of the great "discoveries" of the ancient Greeks. Poems like the Odyssey kept the Greeks connected with their past for centuries, but the truth behind a story like that of the Cyclops was probably of little importance to an ancient audience. Herodotus, an Asian Greek from Halicarnassus, first made "inquiries"--the literal meaning of "history"--into what really happened in the past, especially during the Persian Wars. We will read Herodotus' works, as well as those of Thucydides, another luminary from the fifth century BC, and we will examine what standards these historians used for finding historical truth and how successful they were in their attempts. MONT 101C Romans Reconstructing the Past (spring) Given their admiration for most everything Greek, ancient Romans reconstructed their past in many of the same ways as the ancient Greeks...but with a Roman twist. We will read from the works of Livy, a first century BC writer, who was at times more concerned with composing morality tales than with presenting historical truth. Tacitus, who lived a century later, faced the daunting task of writing a truthful history at a time when an angry emperor could cut short a historian's career...and life. -

TRUTH, TRAUMA and TRANSFORMATION Embracing the Cracks and the Gold…
TRUTH, TRAUMA AND TRANSFORMATION Embracing the cracks AND the gold… Rev. Leslie Takahashi Ministerial Conference at Berry Street 2019 Part One: Truth Fragments from last November’s congregational border trip to Tijuana: President Trump threatening to and eventually closing the border, Fox News headlines braying about dangerous migrants in the bus station where brave people small of stature and grateful of nature, mostly parents with kids, begin Greyhound bus odysseys; two seconds of fame as Rev. Ranwa Hammamy and I lead a ceremonial wedding ceremony for LBGTQ couples who want not to be separated; the defiant weariness in their faces after walking thousands of miles to escape endangerment from gangs and attacks by their fellow migrants, the ceremony where the number of rainbow-hued items is exceeded only by the tears of joy and sorrow. So much truth and none. One of my sacred texts is Partridge’s etymological dictionary which reveals that the word essay is related to “assay” which means a chemical test. In the experimental spirit of my father, a biochemist, I continue what is said to be the longest running essay tradition in North America. In 2019, the possibility of any 7000 words containing much straight-up truth is slim. “Tell all the truth, but tell it slant,” Emily Dickinson wrote. Within rigid form of an essay, I will try to catch shapeshifting nature of truth with a few too many words and some pictures. Despite more than a year of diligent preparation, I begin in a rather unimpressive place with this, that Big T Truth is in pieces all around us. -
Rain Part 2 April 12
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 5, 2019 PLANETSHAKERS RELEASES RAIN PART 2 APRIL 12 New Single From EP, “I Choose You,” Releases Today 2019 “Rain” Conferences Begin April 10 In Melbourne, Daystar To Broadcast Conference Live Into 180+ Countries Internationally recognized praise band Planetshakers releases Rain Part 2 globally April 12 from Venture3Media (V3M). Available to preorder beginning today (April 5) at iTunes and Google Play, and to stream April 12 from Spotify, Apple Music and more, the new five-song digital EP from Planetshakers was recorded at Planetshakers Conferences in the Philippines and Malaysia in January and features over 29-minutes of music. Beginning today (April 5), Planetshakers also releases the single “I Choose You” from Rain Part 2 to iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play and more digital and streaming outlets everywhere. The song, which is led by Joth Hunt (who also produced and mixed the EP), declares that God is the one to look to, no matter what the circumstances. This theme is further carried in the Hunt-led “Only Way” single, which released last month, is featured on the new EP and became an encouragement to this multi-talented worship leader through his battle with cancer. “God had me write that song a week before I knew this was going to happen. It was the perfect tool God helped me to use to declare victory over the situation,” says Joth, adding, “It’s easy to sing these songs week-to-week, but when you are actually going through it, these lyrics become more…they become an anthem.” Hunt’s story of writing “Only Way” and overcoming cancer can be seen in two “A Miraculous Journey” video parts available now at https://youtu.be/Acv3bUtda6A (Part 1) and https://youtu.be/ft7TRpJz-Ck (Part 2). -

The Gender Knot
PRAISE FOR ALLAN G. JOHNSON’S The Gender Knot “Johnson’s book is beautifully written, thoughtful, and provides compelling analyses of patriarchy and the powerful ideology that supports it and inhibits change. It is a guidebook for a life-changing adventure.” —Rebecca Bach, Contemporary Sociology “Allan Johnson has written one of the best, most readable, and most com- prehensive accounts of patriarchy that is available in print.” —Paula Rothenberg, editor of Race, Class, and Gender in the United States “This is a brilliant accounting of patriarchy . a long, hard and unflinchingly honest look at how patriarchy works.”—Off Our Backs “As any knitter will tell you, the way to untangle a knot is not to pull hard on one end, but to gently shake the entire skein until all the threads are loosened. In this book, Allan Johnson gently and patiently shakes the patriarchal knot until each of the constituent threads becomes analytically clear.” —Michael Kimmel, author of Manhood in America “A good introduction for women as well as men, but most importantly, it is from a man who can clearly explain to men what’s happening and what they can do to change it.”—Feminist Bookstore News “The Gender Knot is a unique book that fills a void in the literature on gender. Highly accessible and a pleasure to read, Johnson[’s account] never oversimpli- fies complex issues. His engaging style will appeal to a wide audience.” —Abby L. Ferber, Gender and Society “An excellent gift for anyone who ‘just doesn’t get it’ about feminism.” —Arnold Kahn, Psychology of Women Quarterly “This book can be especially recommended to male students as an exemplary model of plainspoken and conscientious writing about male supremacy that is neither naive nor navel-gazing and that takes feminist theory and analysis absolutely seriously. -

Grrrrr5-Et-2020-The-Secrets-Of-Johns
1 2 The Secrets of John`s Revelations. The Revelation conspiracies! Part 5 out of 6 books in my GRRRRR series. The Great Romantic Revivalist`s Reformation Revolution Renaissance series. PS! This book will challenge all you believe about Christianity and eschatology/the end times, but will not leave you without hope. This is a study- book of 10 years interest in eschatology and represents an overview of contemporary and historical structures based upon the book of Revelations. The conclusions of this book are my own, and it is by far the most controversial in all my books, as we approach the end of both our book series and the Christian era. The next, last book will reveal the strategies to ensure global stability and future prosperity for the Christian religion. All is not lost. Take this journey with me and remember: Truth sets you free! Luke 12:1-3 “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known. What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops. - Jesus Writing by Thomas Eidsaa. 2019 Cover by Thomas Eidsaa. No part in this publication may be used or transmitted in any way without the expressed written consent of the publisher, except for thort excerpts for the use in reviews. 3 The ¨GRRRRR¨ series, by Thomas Eidsaa: The 6 book GRRRRR series, or ¨The Great Romantic Revivalist Reformation Revolution Renaissance¨ book series, is the lion`s roaring wake-up call for all Christian truth-seekers to unite in an ever-changing world, an eye-opening 21st century upgrade of Christianity which I saw much needed, detailing my research into neo-charismatic theology, apologetics, ontological arguments, the problem of evil, eschatology, and conspiracy theories of great importance to every Christian. -

London School of Economics & Political Science A THEORY OF NEED IN INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL THEORY: AUTONOMY, FREEDOM, AND A GLOBAL OBLIGATION Elizabeth O’ Casey A thesis submitted to the Department of International Relations of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, August 2012. 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 88,784 words. Elizabeth O’ Casey 2 ABSTRACT The thesis is concerned with the nature of human action presupposed by normative theory; it is about recognising and articulating the fragility of the human within the context of human needs and assumptions made by international ethical theory. The primary aim of the thesis is to establish the existence of two basic needs necessary for moral action, to determine a global obligation to enable the meeting of those needs, and to articulate a necessary reconceptualisation of the state system in line with the demands of that obligation. -

As I was preparing the book in the late 1970s, it had become unquestionably clear that generative semantics had collapsed, yet no other worked-out alternative to the Extended Standard Theory had presented itself as a pole of opposition to it.
