Episode 21: Matt Eicheldinger: Educator Turned Author
No full textMatt Eicheldinger, B.A. \u2709, M.A. \u2712 is an educator who used stories from his life to motivate his middle school students. When he found that not only were these stories effective, when written down, they inspired even the most reluctant of readers. This put Matt down a path of becoming a published author. In 2021, he launched a Kickstarter campaign to self-publish Matt Sprouts and The Curse of Ten Broken Toes. When the book became a hit, he was able to sign with an agent who quickly sold Matt Sprouts to a publisher. Matt shares how he became interested in being an educator, how he navigated the process of becoming a published author, and his future plans for more books

Automating the import of electronic timetable data to EMME/2-based public transport models
No full textOne of the speakers at RailDelft2005 issued a “plea for standardised models” for the simulation of railway operations. This issue is highly relevant in Britain, where the industry-standard CIF (Common Interface Format) timetable data files are not directly compatible with modelling tools such as RailSys and EMME/2. RMCon has developed a CIF import facility for RailSys, but no equivalent exists for EMME/2, which is used in the PLANET and Railplan multi-modal public transport models employed by the Department for Transport and Transport for London, respectively.This issue was highlighted during passenger demand forecasting work conducted by Arup for Network Rail (Britain?s railway infrastructure owner and operator) for the South West Main Line Route Utilisation Strategy (SWML RUS), a strategy for the utilisation and development of the rail routes between London?s Waterloo station and the area to the south-west. The PLANET South model was used for demand forecasting, using timetable data imported from a CIF file supplied by Network Rail.The issues encountered in importing the CIF data to PLANET led to the development of a Perl-based tool to automate the process, in a collaboration between Arup and the University of Southampton?s Transportation Research Group. The success of this tool resulted in Arup being commissioned by Transport for London to develop a similar tool for Railplan, which simulates a less extensive but more detailed network than PLANET. The latter tool is now working and in use, although some aspects of it may yet be developed further

Blind injustice : Jesus' prophetic warning against unjust judging (Matt 7:1-5)
No full textThis dissertation seeks to provide a plausible alternative to the consensus interpretation of Jesus' "do not judge" teaching in Matt 7:1-5. While the overwhelming majority of recent interpreters understand "do not judge" (7:1) and its concurrent sayings such as "take the log out of your own eye" (7:5) to promote a non-judgmental attitude, this monograph seeks to situate this block of teaching within a Jewish second-Temple judicial setting. To this end, an overview of the judicial system during the second Temple era is provided, after which it is argued that Matt 7:1-5 is the Matthean Jesus' halakhic, midrashic comment upon the laws for just legal judging in Lev 19:15-18, 35-36 by which he prophetically criticizes unjust legal judging. Jesus' brother James takes up this teaching in Jas 2:1-13, using it to exhort Jewish Christian leaders who judge cases within Diaspora synagogues/churches. Such an alternative interpretation of Jesus' "do not judge" teaching in Matt 7:1-5 matches well other passages in Matthew which likewise speak of judicial, brotherly conflict such as 5:21-26 and 18:15-35. Some early Christian writers who quote or allude to Matt 7:1-5 reflect a judicial understanding of these verses as well, often relating Matt 7:1-5 to Lev 19:15-18, 35-36 and/or drawing parallels between Matt 7:1-5 and one or more of the NT judicial texts which, this thesis argues, is related to it (Matt 5:21-26, 18:15-35; Jas 2:1-13)
