Ebook: 1D Sediment Transport Morphodynamics with applications to: Rivers and Turbidity Currents
Tool Purpose: This ebook is an amazing resource containing fundamental and applied lectures on rivers and turbidity currents as well as many other geomorphic processes. The main lectures are in PowerPoint. These lectures are linked to Excel files, most of which serve as graphical user interfaces for code in Visual Basic for Applications. Extended explanation is given in Word. Phenomena are illustrated with mpeg video clips.

'A local habitation and a name A Kristevan reading of human growth in religion, with a reference to John and Charles Wesley'
No full textThis study is concerned with the concept of human growth and change: it juxtaposes processes of growth and change in psychoanalytic therapy and those in a religious context. In both situations the relationship between growth and development and the idea of becoming 'good' is considered. Kleinian, Post-Kleinian and particularly Kristevan theory is used to elucidate facilitators of change in psychoanalytic therapy and in the context of Christian faith. The emphases in the theory used here differ from those of more traditional developmental theorists in the study of religion, which rely heavily on ego-psychology and self-psychology, and focus on the autonomous ego and the degree of maturity of forms of religion. By contrast, the emphases here are on the split self, on unconscious drives, phantasies and affects, and on the non-cognitive apprehension of truth. Through an examination of the lives of John and Charles Wesley, the thesis examines the possibility of growth occurring in the context of so-called 'immature’ forms of religion, the means by which this might occur, and the extent to which change is governed by an individual's mental structure and psychological defences. The Kristevan reading allows a less cognitive, 'ego-driven' study of the growth to 'goodness' than does that of the developmental theorists. It thus questions the validity of traditional classifications of forms of religion. It elicits differences between the historical subjects, which demonstrate the importance of personality factors in facilitating or hindering growth. Finally, it enables an exploration of Charles Wesley’s hymns which reveals evidence of erotic and imaginary elements, and the possibility of triadic openness in what some would see as an 'immature' form of belief. This examination also questions Kristeva's own assertion that religious symbolism cannot adequately 'sublimate' the 'abject'

Letter from Dillon Wesley Throckmorton, Minister, Trinity Methodist Church, to Caleb Foote, 1942
No full textLetter from Dillon Wesley Throckmorton to Caleb Foote: "1. The Japanese families here are anxious to be evacuated and resettled together, to that end we have place_ a plea with the W.C.C.A. That means I have no families for you to suggest to mid-west FOR folk. 2. The list will be sent you soon. Miss Round promised me Tuesday night she would get it out to you right away. Some time she is a bit slow doing things. I have written a letter announcing the next meeting for her. 3. The Methodist Aid committee for the Japanese Evacuation which we formed here last week has already done several small things to stone for the sins of our time, with the Japanese people. We have some real heart breaks here. I think I have answered the three requests. Funds seem to be a great difficulty with us. Some send direct to the N.Y. office, etc., others feel that we must do something here for a few needy cases, so we have been unable to send any your way yet. I know when they get your news sheet they will want to help however so getting the list to you right away is important. Success and service to you, Dillon."Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide

John Wesley and Slavery: Myth and Reality
No full text1. Was Wesley opposed to the institution of slavery? Or is that merely myth, because he only opposed the horrors of the slave trade? The reason for this question is that many eighteenth-century persons were greatly opposed to the slave trade, but had no moral difficulty with the institution of slavery.
2. If he opposed slavery, was it the abuses that troubled him, or did he reject the philosophical underpinnings of the institution itself?
3. What is truth and what is myth about Wesley\u27s contemporaries, such as his friend John Newton, author of Amazing Grace, and known as the converted slave trader?
4. Is it myth or reality that Wesley\u27s position was supported by Coke and Asbury on the American scene?
5. And finally, was Wesley\u27s influence on the ending of slavery truly significant, or is that myth
