Alissa Cherry: A Poetry Reading
No full textThe Laureate Writers Series for Tuesday April 1st will feature Alissa Cherry at the Blue Heron Coffeehouse. The reading begins at 7 pm and will be followed by a book signing and an Open Mic. Novices as well as experienced writers are encouraged to participate in the Open Mic. The event is free and open to the public.
Allisa Cherry is the author of An Exodus of Sparks “ and is the 2024 recipient of the Poetry Prize given by Michigan State University’s Center for Poetry. Her work has appeared in TriQuarterly, The Journal, The McNeese Review, The Penn Review, and other literary journals. Her work also has been a finalist for the Sewanee Review Award for Poetry and the First Book Award at Persea Books. She is an associate poetry editor for West Trade Review and writes poetry book reviews for that journal’s “West End Book Reviews” column.
Cherry was raised in a religious community in the irradiated high desert of rural Arizona. She has deep ancestral ties to Mormon history—and, while not a direct descendant of Brigham Young, two of her aunts were plural married to him. She also is the great-granddaughter of a polygamist on her mother’s side, which makes her Mormon royalty-adjacent. Her complex relationship with the Mormon faith, the quotidian violence of her upbringing, and the geography of the Southwest informs much of her poetry. She has long since relocated to Portland, OR where she works in workforce development teaching classes and workshops designed for immigrants and refugees transitioning to a life in the United State
The Laureates Series is sponsored by the Blue Heron Coffeehouse, Chapter Two Books of Winona, Friends of the Winona Public Library, and Richard and Sara Ricker. - description publicized by Visit Winona. Add to calendar Details Date: April 1 Time
Influence of pre-existing fault fabrics on normal-fault development: an experimental study
No full textMany rift basins (e.g., the Jeanne d’Arc rift basin, the North Sea, the East African rift system) have undergone multiple episodes of extension with differing extension directions. Commonly, pre-existing faults formed during an earlier extensional episode act as zones of weakness, influencing subsequent deformation and affecting the development of these provinces. This thesis uses scaled experimental (analog) models to study the effect of a pre-existing fault fabric on fault development during extension. Specifically, I investigate how the orientation of a pre-existing fault fabric and the properties of a pre-existing fault fabric (including burial of the fabric) influence deformation during extension. The experiments show that the normal faults that develop during an initial extensional phase influence normal-fault development during subsequent extension. The orientation of pre-existing normal faults, relative to the second-phase extension direction, controls the reactivation of pre-existing normal faults during the second phase; the sense of slip on reactivated faults; and the attitude, number, and length of new normal faults. The magnitude of first-phase extension (which controls the number, size, and density of first-phase faults) influences the dominance of a particular fault population, in addition to the attitude and length of new normal faults. If a pristine cover is present, pre-existing faults affect the size, length, and location of new normal faults but not new fault orientations. All of the models indicate that fault orientations and populations in areas with a complex deformational history (observed either in map view or cross section) may not reflect the number, direction, and relative magnitude of each extensional episode. Variations in fault geometries, interactions, and fault reactivations in the models are similar to those observed in the Jeanne d’Arc basin, offshore Newfoundland; the Suez rift; the northern North Sea; and the Pattani basin, Thailand.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Alissa A.

The Role of Alissa Wahid As A Women Fighter In Implementing Wasathiyyah Islam In Indonesia
Full text linkPersoalan perempuan dan segala atribut yang melekat pada perempuan merupakan persoalan unik, aktual dan selalu menarik untuk dijadikan sebuah kajian. Diakui atau tidak, kehadiran kaum perempuan di muka bumi ini memiliki peranan yang amat penting. Bahkan secara natural mereka adalah bagian dari kehidupan ini, namun demikian, dalam kehidupan sehari-hari masih dirasakan sedikitnya masyarakat yang menyadari akan hal ini. Periode Islam, Abad pertengahan, dan era modern semuanya telah menghasilkan ide-ide dan teori-teori yang berbeda, yang berkaitan dengan peran perempuan di tengah masyarakat. Sebagaimana penelitian ini yang akan membahas peran Alissa Wahid sebagai pejuang perempuan, sumbangsih untuk bangsa begitu banyak yang telah beliau lakukan. Oleh karena itu sangat menarik untuk di tulis. Metode yang penulis gunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah dengan metodekualitatif. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah penelitian kajian pustaka (LibraryResearch). Hasil penelitian ini Sikap Humanis dan Moderasi Islam yang dilakukan oleh Alissa Wadih adalah sebagaimana yang dilakukan atau dipraktekan oleh Gus Dur Diantara pemikiran inklusif Gus Dur yang menonjol adalah tentang pribumisasi ajaran Islam dan sangat mengkedepankan sikap toleransi yang akan membuahkan rasa cinta. Alissa Wahid sangat berperan dalam membantu sesama dalam menangani radikalisme, membantu masyarakat yang terdampak covid-19. Alissa Wahid Bersama dengan Sembilan perempuan inspiratif mendapat penghargaan #Shelnspires Awards 2021 dari KumparanWOMAN. Penghargaan ini diberikan kapada 10 perempuan yang dianggap memberikan kebaikan dan perlindungan bagi sesame di masa pandemic Covid-19 dan Alissa Wahid mendapatkan berbagai penghargaan.
Abstract
The issue of women and all the attributes attached to women is a unique, actual and always interesting issue to be studied. Admit it or not, the presence of women on this earth has a very important role. Even naturally they are part of this life, however, in everyday life it is still felt that at least people are aware of this. The Islamic period, the Middle Ages, and the modern era all produced different ideas and theories, relating to the role of women in society. As this research will discuss Alissa Wahid's role as a female fighter, she has made so many contributions to the nation. Therefore it is very interesting to write about. The method that the author uses in this research is the qualitative method. The approach used is library research (Library Research). The results of the research on Humanist Attitudes and Islamic Moderation conducted by Alissa Wadih are similar to those of Gus Dur. Among Gus Dur's inclusive thoughts that stand out is about the indigenization of Islamic teachings and strongly emphasizes an attitude of tolerance that will create a sense of love. Alissa Wahid played a very important role in helping others in dealing with radicalism, helping people who created COVID-19. Alissa Wahid together with nine inspiring women received the #Shelnspires Awards 2021 from KumparanWOMAN. This award was given to 10 women who were considered to provide respect and protection for others during the Covid-19 pandemic and Alissa Wahid received an award.

No full textHow do you imagine the modern woman? Does she stuff her bra with tennis balls? Does she drink too much at class reunions, or steal animals from the zoo? According to Alissa Nutting, she definitely does. The BMI writer talks about her fresh approach to the modern-day, dysfunctional woman, and why crazy might be the new normal.https://oasis.library.unlv.edu/blackmountain_images/1020/thumbnail.jp

The industrial ecology of the iron casting industry
Full text linkThesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2007.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Includes bibliographical references.Metal casting is an energy and materials intensive manufacturing process, which is an important U.S. industry. This study analyzes iron casting, in particular, for possible improvements that will result in greater efficiencies and therefore greater global competitiveness. The quantity and types of materials and energy used are dependent on the technologies selected and the cast part parameters. The most energy intensive step is melting, which is explored with an input-output analysis and an energy comparison of three major technologies: cupola melting and the heel and batch types of coreless electric induction melting. The major goal of this project is the creation of a material and energy flow model of the typical iron casting facility. This input-output process model is used to analyze the effect that different melting technologies will have on energy, materials and pollution, including selected upstream processes. Findings show that energy and the associated carbon dioxide emissions vary widely with melting technology and the relative benefits depend on where the boundaries are drawn in the analysis.(cont.) An understanding of the current technology then allows for the analysis of new technologies under development and how they will affect the facility in terms of material and energy use, pollution and economics. The model is based on data collected from partner casting companies. The study concludes with a review of the available policy options which can improve the environmental profile of the facilities.by Alissa J. Jones.S.M
ABANDONO AFETIVO (DIREITO)
No full textO abandono afetivo inverso ocorre quando filhos abandonam os pais. Todos os seres humanos necessitam de cuidado, afeto, mas o idoso, por ser vulnerável, requer mais atenção. Os filhos possuem responsabilidades sobre seus pais idosos, contudo, muitos idosos desconhecem seus direitos, assim como muitos filhos desconhecem suas obrigações. A problemática consiste em saber se o abandono afetivo inverso pode gerar indenização. O objetivo da pesquisa é demonstrar o cabimento da reparação por danos em casos de abandono afetivo inverso. A metodologia utilizada é bibliográfica por meio de doutrinas e jurisprudências. A responsabilidade civil presente em nosso ordenamento jurídico, oferece uma forma de reparação por danos sofridos. Não é possível obrigar alguém a amar outra pessoa, contudo, apesar de não termos normas que falam expressamente sobre o afeto, esse sentimento é a base norteadora do direito de família.
