Models of organic enrichment in epicontinental basins: Applications of a large organic geochemical dataset from the Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway
No full textThis study provides a new data synthesis and interpretation of organic enrichment models within the Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway (WIS), an archetypal restricted epicontinental seaway. This study draws from 323 unique published resources (e.g., government datasets, journal articles, theses, reports) containing organic geochemical data (Rock-Eval and lipid biomarkers) to construct a database of over 18,000 samples at 994 locations across the WIS. Through rigorous standardisation techniques, quality control checks and the inclusion of complementary culture data, maps of paleogeography, thermal maturity, Total Organic Carbon and Hydrogen Index were created for nine key sea-level cycles across the Cretaceous. In addition, we provide an analysis of more specific paleoenvironmental proxies based on lipid biomarkers. Collated data show that the WIS is an organic-rich basin during all sea-level cycles studied herein, and organic enrichment generally increases both during high sea-levels and at distal locations away from the influence of higher clastic inputs. A tipping point is identified between the Mowry and Graneros sea-level cycles whereby water depth becomes sufficient to allow for prolonged stratification, and Gammacerane Index suggests heightened stratification across the WIS through the Graneros and Greenhorn cycles. Organic enrichment correlates with abundance of C28 steranes, a proxy for prasinophytes and indicator of anoxic waters, further suggesting that anoxia drives organic enrichment in the WIS. The reported oceanographic overturning and oxygenation events within the high sea-levels of the Greenhorn and Niobrara cycles do not appear to have resulted in a significant decrease of overall organic matter preservation.<br/
Speech, Advocacy, and the Constitution in the Age of Social Media
No full textLibby Bakalar, attorney and author of the popular social media platform One Hot Mess, will discuss freedom of expression under the First Amendment in the age of Trump, social media, and increased government suppression of ideas and beliefs. Drawing on her personal experiences both as a government lawyer and ACLU litigant, Libby will answer questions and talk about why it is more important than ever to use our time and our voices for the things we care about
Mesothelial cell and anti-nuclear autoantibodies associated with pleural abnormalities in an asbestos exposed population of Libby MT
No full textDespite data linking amphibole asbestos exposure with production of autoantibodies, the role of autoantibodies in subsequent disease is unknown. Residents of Libby, Montana have experienced significant exposure to amphibole asbestos due to the mining of asbestos-contaminated vermiculite near the community over several decades. This population predominantly exhibits pleural disease, and an autoimmune-like disorder that has yet to be well defined. This study sought to determine whether autoantibodies from asbestos-exposed subjects were associated with pleural lesions. Serum samples of subjects from Libby were evaluated for anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) and mesothelial cell autoantibodies (MCAA) using cell based ELISA. The presence of radiographic abnormalities detected during the time frame of serum collection was determined from screening records. In accord with previous studies, 61.3% (76/124) of the Libby samples were ANA positive, a frequency much higher than expected for a healthy population. The odds of having pleural or interstitial abnormalities in Libby was nearly 3.55 times greater for individuals that tested positive for ANA compared with individuals negative for ANA (p=0.004). MCAA were also detected at a strikingly high frequency (18.5%; 23/124) in samples from Libby. Individuals with MCAA had 4.9 times the risk of having pleural abnormalities compared to MCAA-negative subjects (p=0.044). In conclusion, ANA and MCAA were elevated in a study population that was known to have chronic exposure to asbestos, and these autoantibodies were associated with pleural abnormalities, the predominant finding in the asbestos-exposed population of Libby. Additional research is needed to determine the role these autoantibodies may play in pulmonary disease
Servant-Leadership and Vulnerability: A Brief Interview with Bill Robinson
No full text1. Greenleaf refers to love as essential to both the servant and the leader in generating legitimate power in the self, the organization, the community, and the world. Emerson furthers this point when he proposed the following: mediocre people want to be loved; true people are lovely. How does love influence your own leadership and your way offollowing others? I think I\u27m probably influenced by some kind of twisted, quid pro quo love, but I don\u27t find the agape version showing up too often. When my oldest daughter was a senior in high school, she hung out with a friend named Libby. Certainly I liked Libby, but for whatever reasons I wasn\u27t turning out to be the cool dad that I thought I would be, the kind who laughingly engages all of his kids\u27 friends, the kind who is so amazing that his kid isn\u27t even embarrassed by him. So Libby just came and went and I was quite nice. But one day when Libby showed up I noticed I felt an authentic care and love for her. It was the day after she had just decided to attend the college I served as president. I remember being surprised and a little ashamed by the contrast. So, I wish I had a kind of generalized love for all people, even those who are as messed up as I am. I wish that especially because I\u27m a Christian, and if Christians are good at anything it ought to be that
Libby and Pearl: The Best of Friends
No full textLibby and Pearl: The Best of Friends is the precious story of a little girl and her pet pig. There is a very special message in this book about unlikely friendship. As the author says, these two are a funny pair, but that doesn\u27t matter. Friends don\u27t have to be exactly the same or even look alike. Friends come in all shapes and sizes. On each page of this book, there is a colorful photograph of some of Libby and Pearl\u27s fun adventures. Life is always more fun with a friend
