Vigiliae Christianae, Supplements, Volume: 150In this paper I want to take you on a walk through a garden. It is, to be sure, an imaginary garden; nevertheless, it bears a significance which extends beyond itself. Some of this significance concerns words and texts: for as we shall see, the garden is, amongst other things, a ‘garden of rhetoric’. The garden in question appears in the Gregory of Nyssa’s Homilies on the Song of Songs.[...
An Evening with Richard Claxton “Dick” Gregory, Civil Rights Activist, Nutritionist, Comedian, and Author
No full textGregory, Richard Claxton “Dick” (Born, October 12, 1932, St. Louis, Mo.), African American comedian and civil rights activist whose social satire changed the way white Americans perceived African American comedians since he first performed in public. Gregory’s autobiography, Nigger, was published in 1963 prior to The assassination of President Kennedy, and became the number one best-selling book in America. Over the decades it has sold in excess of seven million copies. His choice for the title was explained in the forward, where Dick Gregory wrote a note to his mother. “Whenever you hear the word ‘Nigger’,” he said, “you’ll know their advertising my book.” In 1984 he founded Health Enterprises, Inc., a company that distributed weight loss products. In 1987 Gregory introduced the Slim-Safe Bahamian Diet, a powdered diet mix, which was immensely profitable. Economic losses caused in part by conflicts with his business partners led to his eviction from his home in 1992. Gregory remained active, however, and in 1996 returned to the stage in his critically acclaimed one-man show, Dick Gregory Live! The reviews of Gregory’s show compared him to the greatest stand-ups in the history of Broadway
“Judge Me Gently”: Reflections on the Religious Life of John Milton Gregory, 1822–1898
No full text John Milton Gregory is familiar to many Christian educators through his 19th-century publication, The Seven Laws of Teaching. For most readers of this important book, little is known about the author himself. This article explores the religious life and theological foundations of John Milton Gregory, who was both author of The Seven Laws of Teaching and founding president of the University of Illinois. Utilizing his spiritual diaries preserved in his daughter's biography of her father and archival sources from the University of Illinois, this essay offers a theological and spiritual understanding of this important historical figure. </jats:p

MALMI: An Automated Earthquake Detection and Location Workflow Based on Machine Learning and Waveform Migration
No full textRobust automatic event detection and location is central to real‐time earthquake monitoring. With the increase of computing power and data availability, automated workflows that utilize machine learning (ML) techniques have become increasingly popular; however, ML‐based classical workflows still face challenges when applied to the analysis of microseismic data. These seismic sequences are often characterized by short interevent times and/or low signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR). Full waveform methods that do not rely on phase picking and association are suitable for processing such datasets, but are computationally costly and lack clear event identification criteria, which is not ideal for real‐time processing. To leverage the advantages of both the methods, we propose a new workflow—MAchine Learning aided earthquake MIgration location (MALMI), which integrates ML and waveform migration to perform automated event detection and location. The new workflow uses a pretrained ML model to generate continuous phase probabilities that are then backprojected and stacked to locate seismic sources using migration. We applied the workflow to one month of continuous data collected in the Hengill geothermal area of Iceland to monitor induced earthquakes around two geothermal production sites. With a ML model (EQ‐Transformer) pretrained using a global distribution of earthquakes, the proposed workflow automatically detects and locates 250 additional seismic events (accounting for 36% events in the obtained catalog) compared to a reference catalog generated using the SeisComP software. Most of the new events are microseismic events with a magnitude less than 0. Visual inspection of the waveforms of the newly detected events indicates that they are real seismic events of low SNR and are only reliably recorded by very few stations in the array. Further comparison with the conventional migration method based on short‐term average over long‐term average confirms that MALMI can produce much clearer stacked images with higher resolution and reliability, especially for events with low SNR. The workflow is freely available on GitHub, providing an automated tool for simultaneous event detection and location from continuous seismic data
