[Voluntary Statement by Larry Florer #1]
No full textVoluntary statement by Larry Florer regarding the use of a telephone in the Texas School Book Depository. Florer states that he had left a cafe after hearing about the shooting and walked down the street. He asked a woman where he could find a telephone to use, and she told him to go to the third floor in the Texas School Book Depository. Once he was on the third floor he was told he could not use the telephone so he left the building

Free space optical system performance for a Gaussian beam propagating through non Kolmogorov weak turbulence
No full textAtmospheric turbulence has been described for many years by Kolmogorov's power spectral density model because of its simplicity. Unfortunately several experiments have been reported recently that show Kolmogorov theory is sometimes incomplete to describe atmospheric statistics properly, in particular in portions of the troposphere and stratosphere. It is known that free space laser system performance is limited by atmospheric turbulence. In this paper we use a non-Kolmogorov power spectrum which uses a generalized exponent instead of constant standard exponent value 11/3 and a generalized amplitude factor instead of constant value 0.033. Using this spectrum in weak turbulence, we carry out, for a Gaussian beam propagating along a horizontal path, analysis of long term beam spread, scintillation, probability of fade, mean signal to noise ratio and mean bit error rate as variation of the spectrum exponent. Our theoretical results show that for alpha values lower than 11/3 , but not for alpha close to 3 , there is a remarkable increase of scintillation and consequently a major penalty on the system performance. However when alpha assumes values close to 3 or for alpha values higher than 11/3 scintillation decreases leading to an improvement on the system performanc
Interview with Larry C. Spears
No full textBen: Hi and welcome to ModernServantLeader.com. Today we have a real treat for you. I’m here with Larry Spears who’s really one of the Godfathers of servant-leadership, if you will. Larry has written a ton of books and knows a great deal about Greenleaf’s views on servant-leadership. In fact, he was the CEO and president of the Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership for almost two decades, and since 2008 he runs the Spears Center for Servant-Leadership. In fact, Larry, you recently received an award from the Greenleaf Centre in the United Kingdom for your contributions to servant-leadership over the years, right? Larry: Yes, I did. Ben: Great, and Larry I’d like to just kind of get a feel of who Larry is. Tell us a little about yourself

Oral History Interview with Larry R. Churchill
No full textThis interview with Professor Larry Churchill, PhD, is part of “Moral Histories: Voices and Stories from the Founding Figures of Bioethics,” an oral history project of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. Prof. Churchill is the Ann Geddes Stahlman Professor Emeritus of Medical Ethics and Professor Emeritus of Medicine, Religion, and Philosophy at Vanderbilt University. He is the author of several books, notably Everyday Ethics, What Patients Teach, Healers, and Bioethics Reenvisioned. His areas of expertise include clinical medical ethics, endof-life care, healthcare rationing, justice in healthcare, and human subject research. Churchill discusses his upbringing in Hector, Arkansas, and his education at Southwestern (now Rhodes College) and Duke University. He reflects on his early career as a Presbyterian minister and his transition to bioethics. Churchill discussed his career at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, including the establishment of a social medicine department and the creation of an ethics center that highlighted the importance of humanities and social sciences in medical education. Churchill detailed his extensive work in clinical ethics rotations while at Vanderbilt and created the Center for Biomedical Ethics and Society. He also describes his work in bioethics as it relates to healthcare reform; he recalls scholarship of his in which he advocated for universal coverage based on self-interest rather than altruism. He discusses the Clinton era healthcare reform failure as being due to vested interests and the persistence of healthcare lobbyists.
He emphasized the role of narrative in ethics and the need for a holistic approach that includes reason, memory, imagination, and emotions. Churchill also touched on the challenges of healthcare commodification and the importance of respect and cultural humility in bioethics. Professor Churchill shares his recent work that focuses on the significant health impacts of climate change and the need for bioethicists to address it. The interview concludes with Churchill reflecting on aging and his current work which integrates his bioethics and philosophy training with a holistic view of life that includes gratitude, awe, spiritual growth, and compassion
