Perspective Transformation Theory and the Donald Woods Experience: From Racist to Anti-Apartheid Activist

This paper chronicles White South African journalist Donald Woods’ life (1933-2001) as he transformed from holding racist beliefs that Blacks were “people who were there to be your servants,” to becoming one of his country’s leading anti-apartheid activists. Adult learning and development via perspective transformation theory are explored

Marcel Vigreux (1933-2001)

Décédé le 17 juillet 2001, au terme d'une maladie dont nous suivions, aux côtés de ses proches, d'abord avec espoir puis bientôt avec impuissance, les développements, Marcel Vigreux, est de ceux dont les fidélités font la cohérence d'une existence. Fidélité d'abord à un monde rural, qui a été celui de ses origines familiales ­ il était fils de Morvandiaux _, auquel il a consacré son enseignement et ses travaux universitaires, et qu'il a aussi beaucoup parcouru et défendu sur le terrain..

Extending the Aaron Condition for Alternative Pay-as-You-Go Pension Systems

Welfare comparisons between funded and pay-as-you-go (PAYG) pension systems are often made using the Aaron condition. However, the Aaron condition as usually stated is not precise enough about the exact form of the PAYG pension system. PAYG pension systems can be either of the defined-benefit or defined-contribution variety. They can also differ with regard to intra-generational redistribution. For example, pension benefits can be flat or earnings related. Here, four alternative PAYG pension systems are considered. It is shown that each system generates its own Aaron condition. In addition, the standard Aaron condition assumes that the wage rate and labor participation rate does not vary across individuals and that the rate of population growth is constant and exogenous. These assumptions are also relaxed. Using US data covering the period 1933-2001, I then show that the results of comparisons between PAYG and funded systems depend critically on exactly which variety of PAYG system is being compared, and that PAYG systems are becoming less attractive over time as fertility rates decline.Aaron Condition; Pay-As-You-Go Pension; Funded Pension; Defined Contribution; Defined Benefit; Labor Participation Rate; Fertility Rate

COLLECTION 0028: Lee Roy and Lucille Erickson Collection, 1933-2001

The Lee Roy and Lucille Erickson Collection contains published and unpublished materials collected by Lee Roy and Lucille Erickson. Most materials relate to their involvement with: the Western District of the United Pentecostal Church; Apostolic Bible Church, St. Paul, Minnesota; and Apostolic Bible Institute,St. Paul, Minnesota. The collection includes numerous books, tracts, periodicals, and audio and video recordings. The collection is significant because it provides a rare glimpse into Oneness Pentecostalism, a growing and poorly understood segment of the Pentecostal movement. Of particular import are materials relating to Apostolic Bible Church and its pastor, Robert A. Sabin. Apostolic Bible Church sponsored Apostolic Bible Institute, for many years the largest ministerial training school in the United Pentecostal Church. Disagreement concerning some changes within the UPC caused Bro. Sabin and the Apostolic Bible Church to leave the United Pentecostal Church in the 1990s. The collection contains valuable audio and video recordings containing Sabin’s teachings, as well as two debates between Oneness and Trinitarian theologians

Two Dimensional Anti-de Sitter Space and Discrete Light Cone Quantization

We realize the two dimensional anti-de Sitter ($AdS_2$) space as a Kaluza-Klein reduction of the $AdS_3$ space in the framework of the discrete light cone quantization (DLCQ). Introducing DLCQ coordinates which interpolate the original (unboosted) coordinates and the light cone coordinates, we discuss that $AdS_2/CFT$ correspondence can be deduced from the $AdS_3/CFT$. In particular, we elaborate on the deformation of WZW model to obtain the boundary theory for the $AdS_2$ black hole. This enables us to derive the entropy of the $AdS_2$ black hole from that of the $AdS_3$ black hole.Comment: RevTeX, 11 pages, shorter version to appear in PL
