Gutenberg College is a private, four-year Great Books college in Eugene, Oregon. The curriculum centers on the most influential primary texts of Western Civilization, which students study with “tutors” in round-table discussions. In addition, the curriculum includes the following: a weekly lecture, classes and practicums in science, art, math, foreign language and the reading of difficult texts (“microexegesis”). The curriculum is viewed through a biblical Christian perspective, though the staff and faculty are not associated with any one denomination. Gutenberg offers one degree: a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts.

The Great Books Program

The Great Books approach is based on a program developed in the mid-1900s at the University of Chicago by Mortimer Adler, Stringfellow Barr, and others. This alternative approach to education emphasizes less the vocational skills and specialization of most undergraduate degrees, seeking instead to produce individuals who are well-read, well-reasoned, articulate, and mature. Personal growth rather than vocational training is emphasized and accomplished through studying the most influential works of Western Civilization in every discipline: philosophy, math, science, theology, literature, and art.

History

Gutenberg College grew out of McKenzie Study Center (MSC), a Christian ministry that has existed in Eugene for over 25 years. MSC was founded in 1979 as a ministry to present a biblical worldview to University of Oregon (UO) students; it now serves not only UO students, but the surrounding community as well. In 1991, after examining prospective curricula and programs, the board of McKenzie Study Center decided a Great Books curriculum would best accomplish their goals of a providing a unique and well rounded education. Gutenberg started in 1994 with four students and graduated its first class in 1998. Gutenberg has grown, but remains small, with an enrollment of about fifty students.

Curriculum

Coursework includes the following: two years of classical Greek; two years of German; two years of math (ancient and modern); two years of Western Civilization (Great Books readings); two years of Great Conversation (more in-depth Great Books readings), four years of Microexegesis (practicums in reading difficult texts), and several classes and practicums in physics, biology, chemistry, and art.

All students read the same works over the four-year program. Readings progress through the Great Books chronologically and cycle through the history of Western Civilization twice in the four years of study. To promote lively discussion, classes are kept small, usually five to twelve students. A small number of lectures and secondary sources supplement the classic curriculum. At the end of the first two years, students must pass a series of comprehensive exams in order to progress to the last two years. During the senior year, each student writes an extensive thesis dealing with an issue discussed by two classic authors.

Authorization and Accreditation

Gutenberg is a non-profit corporation authorized by the State of Oregon to offer and confer a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts. Gutenberg College is a candidate for accreditation by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools, an accrediting organization recognized by the Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.

Students and Student Life

Gutenberg’s current students represent twelve states and two foreign countries. Students come from a variety of religious and non-religious backgrounds. Their educational backgrounds also vary: many were homeschooled; others attended public or private schools. Gutenberg offers a housing option with a common meal program. While at Gutenberg, students may take advantage of programs at the University of Oregon, located a block from the Gutenberg campus. Gutenberg students have attended UO lectures and events, and they have participated in UO dance, drama, music, and art classes. Gutenberg graduates have pursued a variety of careers, including teaching and the medical profession; and they have entered such graduate programs as law, journalism, liberal arts, and philosophy.

Erik Turner

Jump to: navigation, search

Erik Turner is best known as guitarist in American glam metal band Warrant.

Turner was born on March 31, 1964 in Omaha, Nebraska. Turner’s interest in glam metal originated in his love of New York City band KISS. Turner later became a fan of Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith, adopting guitarists Jimmy Page and Joe Perry as role models.

Turner founded Warrant in Los Angeles, California in July 1984.

It was widely rumoured that Turner and fellow guitarist Joey Allen had not played a note on the first two Warrant albums and that all guitar work had been performed by ex Streets guitarist and session musician Mike Slamer;. Slamer’s wife confirmed in 1998 that her husband played guitar on both records. In a 2008 interview with www.2musicgeeks.com, Warrant producer, Beau Hill, confirmed that Turner, Allen, and Slamer played on the Warrant albums.

Puck (pronounced Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)” class=”IPA”>/?p?k/ puk) is an inner moon of Uranus. It was discovered in December 1985 by the Voyager 2 spacecraft. The name Puck comes from Celtic mythology and English folklore. The orbit of Puck lies between the rings of Uranus and the first of Uranus’ large moons, Miranda. Puck is approximately spherical in shape and has diameter of about 162 km. It has a dark heavily cratered surface, which shows spectral signs of water ice.

Discovery and naming

Puck—the largest inner moon of Uranus—was discovered from the images taken by Voyager 2 on 30 December 1985. It was given the temporary designation S/1985 U 1.

The moon was later named after the Puck who appears in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, like a little sprite who travels around the globe at night with the fairies. In Celtic mythology and English folklore, a Puck is a mischievous sprite, imagined as an evil demon by Christians. It is also designated Uranus XV.

Physical characteristics

Puck is the largest of small inner moons of Uranus, which orbit inside the orbit of Miranda. It is intermediate in size between Portia (the second largest inner moon) and Miranda (the smallest of the five large classical moons). Puck’s orbit is located between the rings of Uranus and Miranda. Little is known about Puck aside from its orbit, radius of about 81 km, and geometric albedo in the visible light of approximately 0.11.

Of the moons discovered by the Voyager 2 imaging team, only Puck was discovered early enough that the probe could be programmed to image it in some detail. Images showed that Puck has a shape of a slightly prolate spheroid (ratio between axises is 0.97 ± 0.04). Its surface is heavily cratered and is grey in color. There are three named craters on the surface of Puck, the largest being about 45 km in diameter. Observations with Hubble Space Telescope and large terrestrial telescopes found water ice absorption features in the spectrum of Puck.

Nothing is known about the internal structure of Puck. It likely is made of a mixture of water ice with the dark material similar to that found in the rings. This dark material is probably made of rocks or radiation processed organics. The absence of craters with bright rays implies that Puck is not differentiated meaning that ice and non-ice components have not separated from each other forming a core and mantle.

The Mongolian Social Democratic Party (Mongolian: ???????? ?????? ???????? ???; Mongolyn Sotsial Demokrat Nam, sometimes also referred to as Sotsdek nam) was a political party in Mongolia. It was founded in 1990 by Bat-Erdeniin Batbayar. Other prominent members included A.Ganbaatar and R.Gonchigdorj. A considerable number of members came from the mathematics and physics departments of Mongolia’s National University. The party was part of the Mongolian Democratic Union that ruled from 1996 to 2000.

It merged with the Mongolian National Democratic Party in 2000. It is not to be confused with the Mongolian Democratic New Socialist Party, which is another name for the Motherland Party.

Portrait of Filippo Parlatore

Filippo Parlatore (8 August 1816-9 September 1877) was an Italian botanist.

Italian botanist, b. at Palermo, 8 Aug., 1816; d. at Florence, 9 Sept., 1877, a devout and faithful Catholic. He studied medicine at Palermo, but practiced only for a short time, his chief activity being during the cholera epidemic of 1837. Although at that time he had been an assistant professor of anatomy, a subject on which he had already written (Treatise on the human retina), he soon gave up all other interests to devote his entire attention to botany. He first made a study of the flora of Sicily, publishing in 1838 “Flora panormitana” (Palermo); he also dealt with the Sicilian flora in later works. In 1840 he left home to begin his extended botanical expeditions. He travelled all through Italy, then into Switzerland (where he remained for a time at Geneva with Decandolle), to France (where he was at Paris with Webb, the Englishman) and to England, his longest stay being at Kew. His part in the Third Congress of Italian naturalists held at Florence in 1841 was of significance for him and for the development of botanical studies in Italy. At this congress, in his celebrated memoir “Sulla botanica in Italia”, he proposed, among other things, that a general herbarium be established at Florence. This proposal was adopted. Grand Duke Leopold sought his assistance for this herbarium, gave him the post of professor of botany at the museum of natural sciences (a chair which had been vacant for almost thirty years), and made him director of the botanical garden connected with the museum. For more than three decades Parlatore was most active in fulfilling the duties of these positions, one of his principal services being the contribution of “Collections botaniques du musée royale de physique et d’histoire naturelle” (Florence, 1874) to the great collection entitled “Erbario centrale italiano”. His own private herbarium is now a part of the central herbarium, containing about 1900-2500 fascicules. In 1849 he made an investigation of the flora of the Mont-Blanc chain of the Alps; in 1851 he explored those of Northern Europe, Lapland, and Finland; the reports of theses two expeditions appeared respectively in 1850 and 1854.

He published numerous treatises on botanical subjects,—discussing questions of system, organography, physiology, plant geography, and palæontology—in various periodicals, chiefly in the “Giornale botanico Italiano” (1844-), which he founded. He also gave considerable attention to the history of botany in Italy. His lifework in botany, however, is “Flora Italiana”, of which five volumes appeared between 1848 and 1874; the text five were issued by T. Caruel (to 1894) with the assistance of Parlatore’s MS. This work stands in high repute among all botanists. Mention should also be made of “Lezioni di botanica comparata” (Florence, 1843) and “Monographia delle fumarie” (Florence, 1844). To the sixteenth volume of Decandolle’s “Prodromus”, Parlatore contributed the accounts of the coniferi and gnetaceæ; to Webb’s “Histoire naturelle des îles Canaries” (Paris, 1836-50), the accounts of the umbelligeri and graminæ. In 1842 Boissier, the botanist, named a genus of cruciferi “Parlatoria”.

The standard botanical author abbreviation Parl. is applied to plants named by him.

Robert Elmer Horton (May 18, 1875 - April 22, 1945) was an American ecologist and soil scientist, considered by many to be the father of modern hydrology.

Born in Parma, Michigan, he earned his B.S. from Albion College in 1897. After his graduation, he went to work for his uncle, George Rafter, a prominent civil engineer. Rafter had commissioned a weir study, the results of which Horton analyzed and summarized. In 1900, he was appointed New York District Engineer of the United States Geological Survey.

During his studies of New York streams, Horton determined that the degree to which rainfall could reach the aquifer depended on a certain property of the soil, which he called infiltration capacity. He analyzed and separated the water cycle into the processes of infiltration, evaporation, interception, transpiration, overland flow, etc. Horton was the first to demarcate and label these now-familiar stages of the cycle.

Horton is well-known for his study of maximum runoff and flood generation. His concept of maximum possible rainfall, limiting the effect of rainfall in specific regions, has had a major effect on meteorology. His studies of overland flow aided in the understanding of soil erosion and provided a scientific basis for soil conservation efforts.

Having realized early in his career that the physical character of terrain played a large role in determining runoff patterns, he resolved to isolate the physical factors affecting runoff and flood discharge. He believed these to include drainage density, channel slope, overland flow length, and other less important factors. However, late in his career, he began to advocate a very different mechanism of “hydrophysical” geomorphology, which he believed better explained his prior observations.

Horton detailed his theory in a landmark paper published in 1945, only a month before his death, in the Bulletin of the Geological Society of America. He summarized his conclusions with four laws: the law of stream numbers, the law of stream lengths, the limits of infiltration capacity, and the runoff-detention-storage relation. His results demonstrate that the salient factor in aqueous soil erosion is the minimum length of overland flow necessary to produce enough runoff to effect erosion. This seminal work may be considered the founding of modern stream chemistry modeling, since it was the first comprehensive set of mathematical models to link basin hydrology with a water pollutant, namely sediment. the terminology Horton overland flow is named after his accomplishments in hydrology.

Horton is the namesake of the Robert E. Horton Medal, awarded by the American Geophysical Union to recognize outstanding contributions to the field of hydrological geophysics.

History

In 1808 during the Napoleonic Wars, East Prussia was divided into Regierungsbezirk Gumbinnen and Regierungsbezirk Königsberg. On November 1, 1905, the southern districts of the two regions were separated to create Regierungsbezirk Allenstein.

Regierungsbezirk Gumbinnen was dissolved in 1945 when East Prussia was partitioned between Poland and the Soviet Union after World War II according to the Potsdam Conference.
