Comprehensive Bibliography of Chadic and Hausa Linguistics, Third Edition
No full textThe Comprehensive Bibliography of Chadic and Hausa Linguistics is an updated, expanded, and corrected edition of the print book published some twenty years ago by Rüdiger Köppe Verlag (Newman 1996). The outpouring of new publications on Chadic and Hausa in the ensuing years created the need for an updated bibliography. The first edition of this online bibliography was published in 2012 at Bayreuth University, the second edition in 2013 at Indiana University (http://hdl.handle.net/2022/16600), and the current third edition in 2015, also at Indiana University. This comprehensive bibliography covers all works written on Chadic and Hausa languages and linguistics dating from 1790 to the present. In addition to published books and articles, the bibliography includes unpublished Ph.D. dissertations and master's theses. The bibliography is international in scope and covers works regardless of the language in which they were written. For example, there are close to a hundred works written in Hausa. Titles of works in languages other than English, French, or German are accompanied by English translations. Russian titles in Cyrillic script are transliterated into Roman script. Book reviews are listed under the entry for the book being reviewed. A new feature of this 3rd edition is the addition of a Book Review Author Index, which indicates all the books that any individual has reviewed. Finally, the bibliography contains a section consisting of obituaries, (auto-) biographical essays, and related works on major scholars, now deceased, who have contributed significantly to Chadic or Hausa linguistics
Data for: "Effect of light on macrophyte sprouting and assessment of viable seedbank to predict community composition"

Details are provided in the SeedBankDRUMReadme file.These are data from the paper: “Effect of light on macrophyte sprouting and assessment of viable seedbank to predict community composition” Sediments cores from each lake were pooled and homogenized and placed in trays with controlled lighting and temperature. Germination was determined for low light conditions (low water clarity), higher light conditions (high water clarity) and a treatment with gibberellic acid to induce germination and sprouting (maximum emergence – called maximum germination in the JAPM publication). Trays were examined weekly for newly sprouted plants that were identified to species and enumerated.Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District, Eden Prairie, MN 55317.

Towards the tumble resistant microlight
No full textThe tumble mode is a pitching departure from controlled flight which leads to a pitch autorotation that is generally unrecoverable – resulting in vertical ground impact, usually preceded by in-flight breakup (the mechanism for which, surprisingly, can sometimes prevent loss of life). This was identified in work led by the British Microlight Aircraft Association beginning in 1997 as a response to a number of fatal accidents in Rogallo winged microlight aeroplanes, although the tumble is also known to occur to hang-gliders. This paper explains how this class of aeroplane is controlled, and how it has been found that they can enter the tumble mode. The mechanism by which the tumble can be entered is described. This has led to work showing how flight testing can be used to establish and demonstrate resistance to tumble entry – particularly important with increasing number of very high performance flexwings. These flight tests will be explained, together with the significance of the results. Recent accident investigation work has also shown a new mechanism of tumble entry, through partial failure of the A-frame structure and the pitch-trimmer mechanism. Also described is a possible relevance to well known historical accidents to flying wing aeroplanes– specifically the YB-49 and dH-108, and discovered data on the characteristics of the BKB-1flying wing glider; are also described

Interview with Marvin Newman
No full textProf. Marvin Newman grew up in Chicago, Illinois, and South Florida. He received his bachelor’s degree from Northwestern University in 1956, then continued his studies at the University’s law school, where he earned his L.L.B. and J.D. degrees, graduating magna cum laude.
With his wife and newborn daughter, Newman moved to Orlando in 1960 and began practicing as an attorney. He joined Rollins in 1961 as an adjunct lecturer in Business Law. His passion for the subject was evident, and within a year, he was teaching classes Monday through Thursday and sometimes on the weekends, while continuing to practice law and devote time to his growing family (the Newmans eventually had four daughters). In 1972 he became a tenured professor in the College of Arts and Sciences.
A popular and dedicated teacher, Prof. Newman received numerous awards over the course of his career, including the Hugh and Jeannette McKean Grant, The Outstanding Professor Award from the Crummer Graduate School of Business, The Rollins Decoration of Honor, and the College’s Distinguished Teaching Award. He introduced a total of 10 courses to the Rollins curriculum, but the one that is dearest to him is “Death and Dying.” This class was immediately popular with students and led to Prof. Newman becoming an internationally recognized scholar on ethical and legal issues related to the terminally ill. He is the author of numerous publications and co-author of several books on this topic, including To Die or Not to Die and Perspectives on Death and Dying.
Prof. Newman retired from Rollins in 2011. Looking back on his teaching career, he said, “I feel that it’s the memories my students will have of me that will count more than the assets that I leave. So it’s been wonderful.
Online Bibliography of Chadic and Hausa Linguistics
No full textThe Online Bibliography of Chadic and Hausa Linguistics (OBCHL), henceforth the ‘biblio’, is an updated, expanded, and corrected edition of the bibliography published some fifteen years ago by Rüdiger Köppe Verlag (Newman 1996). That biblio was built on valuable earlier works including Hair (1967), Newman (1971), Baldi (1977), R. M. Newman (1979), Awde (1988), and Barreteau (1993). The ensuing years have witnessed an outpouring of new publications on Chadic and Hausa, written by scholars from around the globe, thereby creating the need for a new, up-to-date bibliography. Data gathered for this online edition, which was compiled using EndNote, an excellent and easy to use bibliographic database program, have come from my own library and internet searches as well as from a variety of published sources. Particularly valuable have been the reviews of the earlier bibliography, most notably the detailed review article by Baldi (1997), the Hausa and Chadic entries in the annual Bibliographie Linguistique, compiled over the past dozen years by Dr. Joe McIntyre, and the very useful list of publications found regularly in Méga-Tchad.

Newman and Heresy: the Anglican writings.
No full textThe thesis examines the relationship between Newman's treatment of early Church heresies and his contemporary situation in the period up to 1845.Part I traces his view of heresy from the early Trinitarianism of its evangelical period and snows now It became a rhetorical tool in his defence of the Established Church, 1828-31, culminating in The Arians of the Fourth Century. His continuing use of analogies between Arianlsm and contemporary controversy is traced between 1832 and 1837, before an examination of the relation between rhetoric and politics in the years of Emancipation, Repeal and Reform (1829-32), and in the changed situation after 1832. Part II illustrates the use Newman made of his study of Sabellianism and Apollinarianism Ian Ism to describe 'liberalism', which he argued to be a heresy developing into an underlying Infidelity. His rhetoric was provoked by R.D.Hampden's view of Tests, and influenced by the example of his friend Blanco White's embracing of Unitarian ism in 1835. Newman's consideration, under the category 'Sabetlian', of a variety of systematic theologians arose out of a need to universalize Oxford controversies into an argument about 'rationalism' (Tract 73). He extended his critique both to aspects of Nicholas Wiseman's Roman Catholic apologetic, and, in his strictures upon H.H.Milman, to liberal Anglican historiography. Part III shows Newman's own past-present analogies turning Inwards upon himself in a parallel between his "Via Media' and Monophysltism. The relation of this analogy to his later reminiscences and to the revolution in his concept of orthodoxy and heresy in The Essay on Development, is considered. The modification of his general understanding of heresy, in the light of his new-found idea of development, is then related to his rhetorical use of specific heresies. The Conclusion assesses more theoretically the implications of Newman's rhetorlclzation of Antiquity and considers If there Is a fundamental coherence to his heresiology during the Anglican period
