Self-made Sorcerer: the Modernization of Merlyn in Jack Whyte\u27s the Camuhod Chronicles
No full textWhen Geoffrey of Monmouth put his pen to paper to record the King Arthur legend as a part of his The History of the of Kings of Britain, he brought to life for the first time since the old Welsh Legends the character of Merlin. But Merlin\u27s development did not stop there. In version after version of the Arthurian legend he continued to appear, taking on many roles, from tutor to madman, but always maintaining an essential Merlin character of magic, wisdom, and power. One modern author who uses Merlin as a significant character in his re telling of the Arthurian story is Jack Whyte in his The Camulod Chronicles. It is no surprise that Whyte\u27s Merlyn differs from the Merlin of medieval texts, because Whyte intends to suggest to his audience the possibility of truth in his Arthurian tale, which means not placing as much weight on Merlyn as magical since that is not accepted as feasible today as it was by medieval audiences

The same procedures can be followed through a telnet client, at malthus.dyndns.org 2020DECWAR 2.3 is a sophisticated real-time space battle game designed to be played by from 1 to 10 people on the DEC-10 model mainframe computer. Decwar was originally written at the University of Texas at Austin circa 1979-1980, primarily by Jeff Potter and Bob Hysick, and it originated from a game called WAR, which came from the CDC-6600/6400 system at UT-Austin, author unknown. The files represented here were ported by Merlyn Cousins from Harris Newman's Decwar 2.3 source code to a Simh/Tops 10 emulator environment. Newman's 2.3 version reflected changes made to the UT-developed Decwar, which were made so the game could be installed on a Compuserve (CIS) system, circa 1981.Dolph Briscoe Center for American Histor

The reproduction of the reactionary fascist and nationalist ideas in Venezuela
No full textTras realizar un recorrido por las raíces históricas del fascismo y del nacionalismo reaccionario que sustentaron las dos dictaduras vividas en Venezuela durante el siglo xx, el autor analiza el protagonismo de los medios de comunicación como vehículos de las ideas fascistas desde sus inicios en manos de la Iglesia Católica, hasta su participación en la consolidación de la ultraderecha y de los partidos extremistas que combaten al chavismo en la actualidad. Una de las primeras consideraciones del trabajo, aún en curso, es que la irrupción de corrientes políticas de pensamiento extremista, ha dejado en evidencia elementos de continuidad histórica como la diferenciación del otro a partir de la «clase», el «nivel social», el color de piel, el idioma o la cultura.After a review for the historical roots of the fascism the fascism and of the reactionary nationalism that sustained both dictatorships lived in Venezuela during the 20th century, the author analyzes the protagonism of the mass media as vehicles of the fascist ideas from his beginnings, in hands of the Catholic Church, up to his participation in the consolidation of the ultraright one and of the extremist parties that attack the chavismo at present. Some of the first considerations of this work, still in progress, is that the emergence of political currents of extremist thinking, has revealed elements of historical historical continuity and differentiation from the other based on the «class», «social level», skin color, language or cultura.Facultad de Periodismo y Comunicación Socia
Analysis of the Influence of Green Supply Chain Management and Competitiveness on the Sustainable Performance
No full textCompetition in the era of globalization is characterized by changes that are increasingly open, complex and competitive both in the internal and external environment of the company. These socioeconomic changes bring obstacles and challenges that must be overcome. Consequently, every company must develop its business strategy in order to compete. But in reality, many companies are unable to survive, so they must review their strategies and consider the concept of supply chain management. Today companies are faced with a global economy that affects prosperity but also has an impact on environmental degradation such as climate change, ozone layer depletion, biodiversity loss, pollution, degradation and depletion of air, water, minerals and soil. Green Supply Chain produces a competitive strategy for now so that business actors need to manage managerial activities with environmental issues. These issues become important for companies because stakeholders are required to address environmental and social sustainability in business operations. South Minahasa Regency is one of the districts that has abundant fishery resources and potential to be developed. This is supported by the vast sea and coastal areas. The production of fisheries sub-sector is very diverse, both in traditional and modern processing, but its management needs to consider various aspects, both economic, social and environmental aspects. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of green supply chain management and competitiveness for sustainable performance in fisheries sub-sector businesses in South Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi Province. The respondents of this study are business actors in the fisheries sub-sector using the Partial Least Squere (PLS) analysis. The results of the study are expected to contribute to sustainable business performance in the fisheries sub-sector
LASER-INDUCED SINGLE VIBRONIC LEVEL FLUORESCENCE SPECTRA OF PROPYNAL VAPOR
No full textAuthor Institution: Department of Chemistry, U. of Arizona; Department of Physics, U. of Georgia; Department of Chemistry, Davidson CollegeSingle vibrational levels (SVLs) in the state of propynal vapor have been populated by tuned, pulsed laser excitation in room temperature ``bulb” experiment. Time-resolved fluorescence spectra for the origin level, five SVLs corresponding to a single quantum of one mode, and two combination SVLs have been recorded and assigned. Mode 4 has the greatest spectral activity and displays an anharmonicity of in the ground state. Spectral evidence supports the activity of all modes except mode 1. After mode 4, the most prominent vibrational modes in the origin spectrum are 9 and 12, which contrasts with the prominence of modes 5, 6 and 10 and relative unimportance of modes 9 and 12 in the absorption spectrum. As expected, it is found that the same transitions which occur in the origin spectrum are observed in all other spectra. The spectral structure in all spectra consists of (1) fundamentals or overtones of single modes, (2) fundamentals or overtones of single modes in combination with a progression member, or (3) fundamentals or overtones of two modes in combination with a progression member
