Rhode Was Right (About Character and Fitness)
No full textIn this Essay, Professor Leslie C. Levin revives Professor Deborah L. Rhode’s forty-year-old critique of the character and fitness process and shows that not much has changed. Levin exposes the process’s core problems, including the lack of public information available about character and fitness decisions, the process’s subjectivity, the disconnect between information sought and future lawyer misconduct, and the deterrent effect on individuals considering a legal career. Levin proposes that task forces reexamine problematic application questions, such as those targeting decriminalized conduct and mental health, and push for more transparency and disclosure
Deborah Cheetham \u27It’s not over till the Black Lady Sings\u27.
No full textThis year’s annual Nulungu lecture at the University of Notre Dame Australia’s Broome Campus will be delivered by Deborah Cheetham, Indigenous Soprano, actor and author of the internationally acclaimed play, White Baptist Abba Fan. She is a graduate of the NSW Conservatorium of Music and Julliard School of Music.
Since her international debut in 1997 Ms Cheetham has performed in the theatres and concert halls of United States, Europe, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and throughout Australia. At the Sydney Olympics in 2000, Ms Cheetham performed her original composition, Dali Mana Gamarada.
During the 2001 Centenary of Federation celebrations Ms Cheetham performed in several major events including the January 1st Concert in Sydney’s Centennial Park when she appeared as a soloist and speaker. She performed with Argentine tenor, Jose Cura at the opening ceremony of the Rugby World Cup in 2003. This was broadcast to a worldwide audience of more than one billion. In 2005, Deborah added to her list of international credit engagements in Paris, including performances at the Australian Embassy and the La Cigale in the Marais
In 2006 Deborah was a recipient of the Australia Council, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Arts fellowship. The fellowship enabled Deborah to write, direct and produce a 21st century Australian opera, Pecan Summer. The work created opportunities and demonstrated the talents of Indigenous singers and musicians, actors, writers and technicians.
On 22nd February this year Deborah performed the national anthem at the memorial service for the victims of the Black Saturday bushfires. Of the service Deborah said , ‘Joined by a massed choir of over 500 voices I was honoured to pay my respect to the victims and survivors of these terrible fires by singing Advance Australia Fair.’
Deborah will be delivering the Nulungu Lecture at the Broome Campus of The University of Notre Dame, 88 Guy Street, Broome, on Thursday 20 August at 5.00pm. The Nulungu Reconciliation Lecture is to be an annual event on the Broome Campus where key speakers will be invited to address issues of Reconciliation that shape contemporary Aboriginal and Australian thought and experience. The title of Deborah’s lecture is It’s not over till the Black Lady Sings
The Illuminated Lyric of Lafracoth
No full textA medieval historical fiction in dramatic form for older adolescents and adults, this verse play depicts a person of conscience in early 12th century Ireland. This work is intended for late adolescents and adults who have either acquired or are engaged in higher education. The author envisions uses in classrooms, drama and book clubs in which conscience sensitive character analyses and discussions of moral life in and out of religious contexts are deemed worthy of pursuit.
The original 2008 version of The Lyric of Lafracoth without illustrations can be found at: https://hdl.handle.net/1805/16779
In this illustrated version, artist Deborah C. Galvin was asked to create five illuminations for the letters P, A, C, E and M which figure prominently in the conflicted story of Lafracoth and her father. Deborah obliged but was not satisfied with just five. Over the two years 2008-2010, she completed sixteen times that many. In 2012, these were exhibited in a crafted parchment paper version of the manuscript at The Helen Beiser MD Art Show during the 59th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in San Francisco and again that same year at the Fourth Annual Indiana University School of Medicine Art Exhibition in Indianapolis

In the Steps of Jael and Deborah: Judith as Heroine
No full textJudith is one of the most memorable characters in Hebrew literature. In a remarkable story of courage and resourcefulness, she saves her people by one single action that is both compelling and repugnant. Leading female characters are rare enough in Israelite literature to be constantly compared with one another, and Judith has often been likened to Miriam, Deborah, Jael, the wise women of Tekoa and Abelbeth-Maacah, and Esther. And this is not an exhaustive list! I would like to argue that the comparison to Jael and Deborah is neither superficial nor coincidental, but that the author of Judith had the story of Jael and Deborah in the front of his mind as he wrote his story. In fact, in my judgment the author of Judith used the story of Jael and Deborah as the model for the story of Judith.
The first parallel to draw between the stories is the obvious one: a heroine slays an enemy of Israel singlehandedly, by attacking his head. This is, in fact, the correspondence that drew me to the two stories in the first place. However, as I began to investigate the stories, I noticed that many other exact similarities were present, in plot, character and actions. Many of these parallels have been noted by other commentators before me. However, no one, as far as I have been able to verify, has brought them all together in one place. When they are drawn together, I think that it will be plain that the author of Judith used the story of Jael and Deborah in Judges 4 and 5 as a model, and that the actions of the heroine, Judith, parallel the actions of the two heroines in Judges 4 and 5, Jael and Deborah. In this paper I will demonstrate exact similarities in the structure and plot of the stories, the characters of the stories, and certain elements common to both, particularly the song of victory
Modeling real world phenomena using molecular dynamics and continuum simulations
No full textIn the first part of this work, MD trajectory simulations of ice-like argon and amorphous silica aggregates have been performed on the HOPG and crystalline quartz surface. The ice-like argon aggregate showed tendency to deform and fragment upon contact with the surface while the more rigid amorphous SiO 2 aggregate retained its structure and gained rotational energy upon contact with the smoother HOPG surface and got accommodated or stuck when incident on the rougher quartz surface. It was observed that the final total kinetic energy retained by the aggregates decreased as the incident velocity was increased. Fragmentation was observed only from the ice-like argon aggregates. The time of emission of the fragmented Ar atoms was shorter when the ice-like argon was incident on the quartz surface compared to that obtained when the aggregate was incident on the HOPG surface. Also, more number of Ar atoms were emitted when the aggregate was incident on the quartz surface compared to that from the HOPG surface. It was observed that the sticking probability of ice-like argon aggregate is higher than that of the amorphous SiO 2 aggregate when incident on the HOPG surface. The sticking probability of SiO 2 is significantly higher than that of the ice-like argon aggregate at 1.5 km/s on the quartz surface. Dr. Levin was the supervisor for this portion of the thesis only.
In the second part of this work, two types of experimental systems have been modeled, with an aim to replicate the results of experiments and study the dynamics of the respective systems in a more detailed manner. Firstly, continuum simulations have been performed to understand a recently developed method which can potentially reduce the time required to diagnose a bacterial infection by weeks. Secondly, molecular dynamics and ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to validate molecular-sieving of organic molecules like cyclohexane and n-hexane through carbon nanotubes. This can potentially lead to a process which can separate liquids which are otherwise very hard to separate.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Archith Rayabharam, accepted the attached license on 2019-04-22 at 15:10.The student, Archith Rayabharam, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2019-04-22 at 15:42.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2019-04-23 at 15:58.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13826 on 2019-08-22 at 16:23:36Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:48:23Z (GMT).
