Interview with Prof. Carmen Nolte-Odhiambo (English)
No full textThis interview, conducted by students in Professor Kim Compoc’s Fall 2024 Humanities 300 course at the University of Hawaiʻi – West Oʻahu, features Professor Carmen Nolte-Odhiambo, a scholar of English literature with a focus on feminist and queer studies, childhood studies, and literary representations of animals. Professor Nolte-Odhiambo discusses her academic journey from Germany to Hawai‘i, her research on literature’s role in shaping cultural perspectives, and her exploration of aloha ‘āina in her teaching. She also shares insights into how childhood and animal studies intersect, her approach to fairy tales and adaptations, and the importance of diverse literary voices in Hawaiian and Pacific contexts

Nolte, Carl: Moscone
No full textCarl Nolte: When I see George Moscone, I remember my in-laws saying every once in a while, “Geez, you know, I played ball with him. He was a good guy.” Which meant a lot to him, this guy. He’s old now. He was a North Beach guy. And I’d see him at a dinner or lunch and he smoked cigarettes. If you want to assess him he was always smoking all these damn cigarettes. I see him leading the city band. George could do that. I see him in that office trying to do the best he can. I see him bringing in people that, I didn’t think were so hot maybe, were going to represent the real city. George saw the real city as it really is. I mean it’s pretty dirty sometimes. It’s nasty. I seen him in Washington Square Bar & Grill at the bar talking to people. I see his cop friends say, “That’s enough, George. We’re leaving now.” Not “Mr. Mayor” and stuff. I see him as a real guy, not a saint. I see him as an effective San Francisco guy which is important to people who just got in yesterday afternoon, too. There was something that drew them to San Francisco which was something that George Moscone represented

Nolte, Carl: Dan White
No full textCarl Nolte: Without District Elections, Dan White wouldn’t have gotten elected. Dan White was a fireman. He went to, I think, Wilson High School. He was from the excelsior out there someplace. He was a city guy. But he said in his campaign that he wanted to stop the kind of changes that there were. He did not like to see Gays in positions of authority. He didn’t like all the integration stuff too much, although he wasn’t racist in any way, but he was certainly homophobic. Another thing about Dan White is that when he was elected to the Board of Supervisors, he was a terrible politician. He was rigid. You gotta compromise when you’re a politician. Dan White didn’t do that. He discovered suddenly that he had to quit his job as a fireman. You can’t be a fireman and city supervisor. But Dan White hadn’t been quick enough to read that. The supervisors then were paid $9,600 a year, so he got some deal with concession on Pier 39; probably something special about that. He could not deal with the way the city was going, and he was not the kind of guy who could deal with anything, really. He was rigid
Simulation Of Elastic Wave Propagation In Models Containing Irregular Interfaces Parameterized On Irregular Grids
No full textThus study demonstrates the advantages of a recently-developed irregular-grid modeling
technique (Nolte, 1996). This technique can model irregular interfaces more accurately
than a standard regular-grid finite-difference method. I show this by comparison of both
methods for a simple model containing a sloping interface. While the discrete approximation to the sloping interface results in numerical inaccuracies for the finite-difference method, the irregular-grid technique produces superior results. I then show that the method can also be applied to a free surface with irregular topography, suggesting that it may be a valuable alternative to existing finite-difference free-surface algorithms.Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
