“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

Review of Paper Medicine Man: John Gregory Bourke and His American West
Get PDFJohn Gregory Bourke (1846-1896) is best known to students of the American West as the author of On the Border with Crook, a classic record of frontier military life. He was also, like certain other army officers, among the pioneers of American anthropology. Like his commanding officer, General George Crook, he was a critic of federal Indian policy and an advocate of the rights of American Indians. His biography is, therefore, much more than the record of a frontier soldier. He is worthy of study as a chronicler of Western campaigns, a dedicated scholar of Indian culture, and a man whose life casts light on Indian-white relations
Daily Reflections (Meditations) on the Scriptures from the Roman Catholic Lectionary.
No full textToday is the feast of St. Basil the Great and St. Gregory of Nazianzus, both doctors of the church. Basil and Gregory were both born Cappadocia, a region in the middle of the Anatolian plateau of west-central Turkey. They were good friends. Cappadocia is a distant place in 2003, but in the ancient world, it was a remote district in Christian Roman Empire. The great intellectual centers of Alexandria, Athens, Antioch, and Constantinople would have looked at Basil's home in the provincial capital, Caesarea (modern Kaiseri) in much the same way that residents of New York or London might look upon lowly little Omaha. What good could come from Cappadocia? I did not fully appreciate the how remote Cappadocia is until I had the opportunity to visit there during the summer of 2002. My friends and I spent part of one of our days in the region driving to the little village of Guzelyurt, which is believed to be near the long lost birth place and family estate of St. Gregory. Nothing remains, yet, there was a kind of comfort in the knowledge that the vistas I was seeing and the spaces I was crossing were the vistas and spaces that Basil and Gregory had seen and crossed so many centuries ago.||The Greeks call Gregory "the Theologian," a title he shares only with John the Evangelist. In this they testify to his greatness as a thinker. Both he and Basil were embroiled in a fourth-century controversy know as Arianism. The subject of the controversy was the question of the divinity of Jesus. Arius, whose teaching gave the controversy a name, could not image a way to preserve the oneness of God without in some way demoting the Son to an exalted but lower status than the Father. In the year 325, a council was held in the city of Nicaea (also in modern Turkey) to refute Arius's ideas. However, the church lacked clarity about the issues, and a consensus was impossible at that time. For the next 56 years the church was bitterly divided about how to understand the nature of God. Basil and Gregory worked hard to help resolve the conflict. Basil, the tireless churchman, labored with the political aspects of the controversy, while Gregory worked through the intellectual issues. Finally in 381, when another council was held, this time in Constantinople, the church was able to reach a consensus. Today we call that consensus the Nicene Creed. The classical notion that the Christian God is Triune, understood as one divinity in three persons, is largely the intellectual work of St. Gregory.|Like John the Baptist in our reading today, these men bore tireless testimony to the truth of Christ. Had he been alive in the fourth century, they would surely have gladdened the heart of the author of 1 John: in defending the Son, they most surely remained (and remain) in the Father.|As one who also lives in troubling ecclesiastical times, I take great comfort in contemplating the memory of these truly great men of the Church

Interpreter Prototypes From Formal Language Definitions
No full textDenotational semantics is now used widely for the formal definition of programming languages but there is a lack of appropriate tools to support language development. General purpose language implementation systems are oriented to syntax with poor support for semantics. Specialised denotational semantics based systems correspond closely to the formalism but are rendered inflexible for language experimentation by their monolithic multiple stages Exploratory language development with formal definitions is better served by a unitary notation, encompassing syntax and semantics, which is close to but simpler than denotational semantics. Interactive implementation of the notation then facilitates language investigation through the direct execution of a formal definition as an interpreter for the defined language. This thesis presents Navel, a run-time typed, applicative order, pure functional programming language with integrated context free grammar rules. Navel has been used to develop prot..
The implementation and evaluation of telecounselling as a treatment modality for problem gambling
Get PDFDeposited with permission of the author. © 2000 Dr. Gregory John ComanThere is an extensive range of problems and maladaptive behaviours for which people may seek counselling. One of these is problem gambling. The extent of gambling in the community and the incidence of gambling problems have become issues of great concern to many in the Australian community. Counselling in the face-to-face setting may not be available or appropriate for some individuals with gambling difficulties. Potential barriers to the provision of counselling services for problem gamblers means that innovative techniques for counselling service delivery must be developed and evaluated. Provision of counselling services using modern telecommunications technology is one such innovative strategy. (For complete abstract open document
