Jacob Viner’s Reminiscences from the New Deal (February 11, 1953)
No full textThis paper presents and reproduces an unpublished oral history interview given by Jacob Viner in 1953. The interview released by Viner for the Columbia Oral History Project gives us a valuable opportunity to throw light on his advisory activity during the New Deal Era. In our introduction we attempt to make a critical appraisal of Viner's reminiscences and to state the contribution they can provide to our general knowledge of the period. In addition, we also attempt to find out some biographical and interpretative elements useful to understand Viner’s own vision and his contribution to important economic policy processes during the New Deal.

The theme of 'blessing for the nations' in the patriarchal narratives of genesis.
No full textThe universalistic promise expressed by a formula with the theme
"Blessing for the Nations" in the Old Testament is primarily
found in the patriarchal narratives (Gen. l2-35). This aspect
of the patriarchal narratives however has not been adequately
studied. Previous discussions of the theme, based primarily
on 12:1-3, and conducted within the framework of the Yahwist's
work, are shown to be inadequate in our survey in shedding light
on the positioning and significance of the theme in the overall
patriarchal narratives. The survey indicates a literary analysis
of these narratives could probably yield more positive results.
2. A. formulaic analysis shows that the niphal form is
used at the beginning of a
patriarchs career to express a
probationary, and the hithpael form to express a
reaffirmatory, relationship of the patriarch to the promised
universal destiny. Strikingly, the 'seed' plays a prominent
role in the destiny. The formula also serves to link the
patriarchs' calling to the primeval history and the history of
the early formative period of the Israelite people.
3. The Abraham story (Gen.12-.22) is encased by the theme. A
double-chiastic arrangement of the narratives (in two groups)
shows a movement of horizon from the particularistic to the
universalistic. The universal horizon of Abraham's initial call
(12:1-3), displaced in the first half of the structure, is
reaffirmed in the latter half. Gen. l6 stands out as the nadir
and turning-point of the overall story. The notices of Isaac's
birth are instructively "positioned' in the universalistic
sector of the double-chiasmus. Moreover, the formula is
pronounced in narratives which portray Abraham as reversing the
negative results of the key events in the primeval history.
4. The Isaac narrative (Gen. 26) is shown to be "demonstration-material" of the initial actualisation of the theme. The
narrative is coherently structured around an emphatic divine
command, a unique twin-promise, and Isaac's response in a series
of movements, climaxing in Abimelech's sudden visit to and
significant confession of Isaac's status. Gen.26 is also
shown to be a "quintessence" of the Abraham story and forms a
critique of and model for Jacob's understanding and actualisation of his destiny.
5. The theme is shown to underline the Jacob story (Gen.25-35),
especially in the Jacob-.Esau cycles. Jacob's character transformation and reconciliation with Esau are necessary pre-requisites
before the reaffirmation' of the universal destiny to him at
Bethel. Significantly, the creation mandate is re-issued to
Jacob-Israel the seed of Abraham and Isaac, when a. formula
pronouncement is expected.. Finally, Jacob-Israel is shown to
form a parallel with Abraham whose call also expresses Yahwehs
re-affirmation of his creational intentions for mankind

T. Jacob - Professionalism and humanitarianism in health care delivery
This article defines professionalism relevant to the medical profession and the trend towards deprofessionalization in medicine. Subsequently humanitarianism is described, followed by the nature and causes of dehumanization in medicine. Rehmnanizing efforts are expected to be enhanced by certain on-going trends in the society.
The author further presents the issue of human rights, both natural and cultural, and their relation to the right to health care, whence patient rights developed. In this connection the problem of justice in the allocatiOn of health resources is encountered.
Private medical practice in itself does not interfere with either professionalism or humanitarianism as long as distributive justice and patient rights arc observed.
Lastly, potential future problems related to medical professionalism and humanitarianism are brought into focus, such as the growing urban slums, rural poverty, and opportunity for practice and employment. It is emphatically noted that sporadic medical interventions among underserviced communities are not effective, except from the vantage point of publicity.
Key Words: medical professionalism - patient rights - justice in medicine 7 dehumanization - private practic
Optimization of weight of an offshore sub-structure
No full textMany shallow marginal gas fields remain unexploited in the North Sea, mainly due to higher infrastructure capital expenditure for its exploitation. A study carried by Iv Oil & Gas to formulate a potential solution concludes that a conventional tripod structure with a suction bucket foundation and minimum topside facilities is a viable solution.This tripod structure designed was governed by the D/t < 100 criteria, where D is the diameter and t is the thickness. This resulted in a conservative thick walled structure which is heavy and expensive. The first objective of this study was to redesign the reference structure for an optimized weight by not limiting the design to D/t criteria. The second objective was to adopt longitudinally stiffened tubular member design for the main tubular parts of tripod structure. From the study it is concluded that a significant weight reduction is achieved by not limiting the tubular design for D/t ratio. Also, it is concluded that internal stiffening of the main tubular part of the tripod structure is not beneficial for reducing weight of the structure.Steel and TimberStructural EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
Letter from the San Francisco YMCA to Jacob T. Bowne (December 21, 1885)
No full textA typed letter from the San Francisco YMCA to Jacob T. Bowne. The letter is dated December 21, 1885. The letter is in regards to funding to furnish a room in the new School for Christian Workers building. The signature is illegible so the author is unknown.The building has been known by many different names over the years including the Winchester Square Building, the Mason Square building and the Armory Hill building. Construction on the building was completed in the spring of 1886 and it was dedicated on June 1 of that year. The building consisted of a reading room, gymnasium, parlor, a recitation room, an amusement room and fifty sleeping rooms. The Armory Hill YMCA also rented rooms in the building. In 1891 James Naismith, while a faculty member at the school, invented the game of basketball in the gymnasium of the building. In 1890 the School for Christian Workers separated into two schools which continued to operate out of the same building, the YMCA Training School and the School for Christian Workers. In 1896 the Training School, now Springfield College, finished the transition to its new location on Alden Street and in 1897 the School for Christian Workers became the Bible Normal College and moved to Hartford, Connecticut. The original building was torn down in 1965 to create a parking lot. In 1995, McDonald’s Corporation bought the land, excavating the original foundation and bricks before building a restaurant on the site. Today, there is a monument commemorating the site as the birthplace of basketball
