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

Extended pelvic lymph node dissection at the time of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: Impact of surgical volume on efficacy and complications in a single-surgeon series
No full textINTRODUCTION:
We assessed the impact of surgical volume on perioperative outcomes and complications of robotic extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND).
METHODS:
From November 2008 to October 2012, a total of 233 consecutive patients with intermediate- or high-risk clinically localized prostate cancer underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and ePLND by a single, experienced open and laparoscopic surgeon. Data were prospectively collected. Complications were classified according to the Modified Clavien System. Complications potentially related to ePLND were documented. The minimum follow-up was 3 months. To evaluate the impact of surgical volume on the results, 4 patient subgroups (subgroup 1: cases 1-59; 2: 60-117; 3: 118-175; 4: 176-233) were compared using the Chi-squared and Kruskal-Wallis tests.
RESULTS:
The mean (range) operative time for ePLND was 79 minutes (range: 48-144), with a steady performance over time (p = 0.784). The count of resected lymph nodes plateaued after 60 procedures (mean [range]: 13 [range: 6-32], 15 [range: 7-34], 17 [range: 8-41], 16 [range: 8-42] in Groups 1 to 4, respectively, p = 0.001). Tumour lymph node involvement was 12% in Groups 1 and 2, 7% in Group 3 and 9% in Group 4 (p = 0.075). Overall, 115 complications were reported in 98/233 patients (42%), with a significant decrease after 175 cases (p = 0.028). In Group 4, 3 patients reported an ePLND-related bleeding requiring open revision. Lymphoceles were detected in 10/233 patients (4.2%) and 1 patient (1.7%) in each of the Groups 2 to 4 required a percutaneous drainage.
CONCLUSIONS:
A surgeon with extensive experience is expected to achieve a safe learning curve for ePLND during RARP. A learning curve of 60 cases is suggested for optimal lymph node yield
