Affect, Albert Ellis, and Rational-Emotive Therapy
No full textThe theme is advanced that affect is an integral component of the Rational-Emotive Therapy model. The affective aspect of the model is reviewed in terms of theoretical constructs and therapeutic techniques. Several references to author-observed interactions of Albert Ellis are made and the life-style of Albert Ellis is described to permit inferences regarding the role of affect.Le thème mis en avant dans cette étude est que le domaine affectif est une partie composante du modèle de la Thérapie Rationnelle-Emotive. L\u27auteur examine l\u27aspect affect if du modèle en ce qui concerne les concepts théoriques et les techniques thérapeutiques. Plusieurs références aux interactions d\u27Albert Ellis observées par l\u27auteur sont faites et la manière de vivre d\u27Albert Ellis est décrite afin de permettre des inferences concernant le rôle de l\u27affection
Ellis Island today: Located in the Upper Bay west of Jersey City and southwest of Manhattan
No full textEllis Island is a significant historical site just up the bay from tiny Liberty Island in Upper New York Bay. Why? Because it was here that millions of immigrants first put foot in America. But where is Ellis Island? Until recently, a coastal boundary dispute between New York and New Jersey made the answer to that question uncertain. The island was originally only 3 or so acres but because of the filling of tidal waters around the island to create room to house and process the immigrants, the island grew to over 27 acres. New Jersey claimed jurisdiction to all those areas filled but New York insisted the entire island, no matter what its size, was hers based on a compact signed by the two states in 1834. In 1980 the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), as part of the statewide effort to delineate tidelands delineated a claim line that essentially claimed the entire filled portion of Ellis Island, except the original three acres. (In New Jersey, all lands flowed by the tide now or formerly are owned by the state). New York objected. The states continued to squabble. Finally, in 1993, the State of New Jersey invoked the Supreme Courts jurisdiction to try the dispute. Coastal boundaries have historically been mapped on linen, and more recently mylar, but in this case the NJDEP invoked the modern technology of GIS to assist the state?s attorney general in preparing the case. Historic maps were scanned and registered to modern ortho-photography to assist in determining where and when areas were filled. GPS points were gathered and surveys made. All the digital data was then analyzed on the GIS to show where and how much fill was placed in the area. New Jersey used these data to argue that those areas filled after the compact were indeed still under the jurisdiction of New Jersey (Ellis Island is a National Park and therefore ownership was not the issue). A special master determined, and on May 26th 1998 the Supreme Court agreed, that New Jersey had sovereign authority over the filled land added to the original island. New York retained authority to the original 3-acre island. GIS was then used to implement the Supreme Court?s decision. NJDEP GIS scientists delineated the line between states using historical digital maps and adjusted the boundary line between states to the satisfaction of all parties. This paper will detail this historic decision and the implementation of the decision and the critical role GIS played.This is an updated version of the presentation entitled: GIS and Coastal Boundary Disputes: Where is Ellis Island? In this updated version, the author has added slides in order to better explain how the angles in the Fort Gibson wall, that was constructed just prior to the War of 1812, were used to align the 1857 survey of Ellis Island with current island.There is a companion paper to the 1999 version of this presentation. See: Professional Surveyor, July August 1999, Vol. 19, Number 6, pp 8-14.Purpose: Describes the delineation of the jurisdictional boundary between New Jersey and New York, on Ellis Island, as per the Supreme Court ruling of 1998. See: New Jersey v. New York, 523 U.S. 767 (1998)
The modernist angel: Art at the Limits of the Human in D. H. Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy
No full textPhDThe subject of this thesis is a figure that might provisionally be called the *modemist
angel'. Focusing on modernist literature, and more particularly on the work of D. H.
Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy, it aims to isolate from the many angels found in all periods
and all types of art a historically specific and intellectually coherent paradigm: an angel of
and for its modernist times. A figure of precisely this type could be said to exist in the
form of Walter Benjamin's 'angel of history'. Critics who address the question of the
modern angel in texts by Franz Kafka and Rainer Maria Rilke often do so in conjunction
with the problem posed by the angel of history. Beginning with a chapter on Benjamin,
this thesis nevertheless follows a different trajectory. Over five chapters, it explores a
modernist landscape formed not only by Lawrence, H. D. and Loy, but also by European
and American writers such as A. R. Orage, Allen Upward, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens,
Havelock Ellis, Edward Carpenter, Sigmund Freud and Friedrich Nietzsche. Although the
angel that emerges from this investigation might, in some respects, be said to anticipate
Benjamin's later version, this figure is also very different, standing for a project that is
distinctively, and recognisably, modernist in nature. He/she (the sex of the modernist
angel is often open to question) represents an attempt to reconcile the divine
responsibilities of the artist with the material and gendered conditions of being,
specifically of being human, in the modem world. This thesis looks again at the clash of
intellectual paradigms in the early-twentieth century - notably, the confrontation of the
Romantic view of art as a superhuman or sacred undertaking with the psychoanalytical or
evolutionary idea that all human endeavour is underpinned by sub-human motives - and
suggests the angel as a new and instructive figure through which to think the perilous
limits between the human and the divine in modernist literature

Session G: Nuclear Power/Climate Change – TerraPower’s Traveling Wave Reactor
No full textTyler Ellis is a project manager for TerraPower, where he works on developing and deploying new nuclear generating capacity to meet current and future energy needs. Before working at TerraPower, Ellis worked as a reactor supervisor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Nuclear Reactor Laboratory and as a nuclear engineer for the MIT Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems.
In 2007, Ellis worked with other MIT thought leaders to help shape the overall plan for the highly successful Bernard M. Gordon MIT Engineering Leadership Program. He composed plant design requirements for a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor with AREVA in France; conducted neutronic trade studies for three different nuclear electric propulsion systems at the Los Alamos National Laboratory; and explored economic, social and technical complexities in meeting the sustainability challenge in Switzerland.
Ellis earned both bachelors and master’s degrees in 2006 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the field of nuclear science and engineering. In 2008, he earned his doctorate from MIT in the same field specializing in reactor physics. In addition, Ellis won several Best Technical Session awards for reactor physics at the American Nuclear Society student conferences. He was recognized by Scientific American as a Distinguished Scholar, received the American Nuclear Society John R. Lamarsh Memorial Award and was officially commended by the governor of California. In addition to having received several other awards, he is author/co-author of more than 15 publications and technical reports.TerraPower is moving forward with detailed plans for a sustainable, economic, and safe nuclear reactor. The Travelling Wave Reactor (TWR) – a reactor in the 500-megawatt electric range – uses unique core physics to initiate a breed and burn wave which can be completely sustained in fertile material. This process allows the TWR to convert depleted uranium waste into usable fuel as the reactor operates, providing a sustainable base-load power source. TerraPower is the first company to create a practical engineering embodiment of this previously studied concept thanks to a powerful advanced reactor modeling interface, developed in-house, which enables the analysis of traveling wave reactor technology in a way that has not been possible before. This presentation will provide more detail about the origins of the TWR, the project’s current status as well as some of the safety differences between TWRs and currently operating light water reactors
