Vigiliae Christianae, Supplements, Volume: 150In this paper I want to take you on a walk through a garden. It is, to be sure, an imaginary garden; nevertheless, it bears a significance which extends beyond itself. Some of this significance concerns words and texts: for as we shall see, the garden is, amongst other things, a ‘garden of rhetoric’. The garden in question appears in the Gregory of Nyssa’s Homilies on the Song of Songs.[...
An Evening with Richard Claxton “Dick” Gregory, Civil Rights Activist, Nutritionist, Comedian, and Author
No full textGregory, Richard Claxton “Dick” (Born, October 12, 1932, St. Louis, Mo.), African American comedian and civil rights activist whose social satire changed the way white Americans perceived African American comedians since he first performed in public. Gregory’s autobiography, Nigger, was published in 1963 prior to The assassination of President Kennedy, and became the number one best-selling book in America. Over the decades it has sold in excess of seven million copies. His choice for the title was explained in the forward, where Dick Gregory wrote a note to his mother. “Whenever you hear the word ‘Nigger’,” he said, “you’ll know their advertising my book.” In 1984 he founded Health Enterprises, Inc., a company that distributed weight loss products. In 1987 Gregory introduced the Slim-Safe Bahamian Diet, a powdered diet mix, which was immensely profitable. Economic losses caused in part by conflicts with his business partners led to his eviction from his home in 1992. Gregory remained active, however, and in 1996 returned to the stage in his critically acclaimed one-man show, Dick Gregory Live! The reviews of Gregory’s show compared him to the greatest stand-ups in the history of Broadway
“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

The Effect of Ground Conditions under a Solar Pond on the Performance of a Solar Air-conditioning System
No full textHeat loss through the bottom of a salt gradient solar pond is significant if the bottom of the pond is non-insulated. This loss has an impact on the thermal performance of the solar pond and the solar air conditioning system connected to it. In this paper, a coupled simulation between a transient model of the solar pond and the ground underneath it in MATLAB and of an absorption chiller, air conditioning system and building in TRNSYS is used to investigate the effect of ground conditions on the performance of the complete system. Four factors have been studied for soil underneath the solar pond: moisture content, soil type, sandy soil texture and the depth of the water table. It was found that dry, fine sandy soil with low thermal conductivity is best and that the deeper the water table, the better for system performance
Effectiveness of a Retention Pond in James City County, Virginia: A Comparisn of As-built Pond Performance to Design for Kensington Woods Subdivision
No full textUrbanization of landscapes produces a greater area of land covered by impervious surfaces, causing stormwater to move through faster runoff pathways and contribute more directly to streams. Streams are affected by this decrease of retention time and increased volume by channel incision due to larger flows. To mitigate the effects on streams, retention ponds are the most widely used management practice. Retention ponds are constructed to return post-development stormwater runoff flows into streams to predevelopment stormwater runoff flows. This study’s purpose was to evaluate the effectiveness of a retention pond mitigating stormwater runoff by studying the Kensington Woods Subdivision’s retention pond in detail. This was accomplished by taking data from field measurements of pond elevation through time. The elevation measurements from the field were translated through engineering equations and models given in the engineering design to obtain peak inflow, peak outflow, retention duration, and runoff coefficient. By comparing the calculated values for each storm event from the field data to the predicted models in the design documents, which were used for the approval and construction of the retention pond, I was able to compare the predicted mitigation of stormwater to the actual mitigation of stormwater. Through monitoring 21 storms over 9 months, I assessed the peak outflow, peak inflow, retention duration, and runoff coefficient for a series of different storm intensities. I found that no retention duration was held for the mandated 24 hour retention duration time period, and almost none were held for longer then 10 hours. Also, two thirds of the runoff coefficients monitored were larger then the predicted runoff coefficient from the design documents. This meant more stormwater was inflowing into the pond then predicted. Based on the data, I concluded that the retention pond is not controlling stormwater as predicted from the design documents. Furthermore, I believe this incorrect operation of the retention pond is caused from the lack of accurate equations and modeling used in the design process.Geolog
