Article in Successful Attitudes - A Romance With the Valley The citrus industry and John H. Shary

There is romance in the Valley. It\u27s been said that the citrus and the palms give it that romance. It also comes from the natural hospitality of its people. An article in 1924 noted; the openhanded hospitality with which newcomers are greeted, the ever willingness to aid them in getting established and advising them ... are phases of the older settlers activities that vie in generosity with those of any community in the world . These older settlers certainly found romance in the orange trees growing to magnificent height along the river.https://scholarworks.utrgv.edu/johnshary/1011/thumbnail.jp

Low internal magnetic fields in anisotropic superconductors

This thesis is a theoretical, numerical study of the magnetic fields which exist in the anisotropic, high temperature superconductors like YBa\sb2Cu\sb3O\sb{7-\delta}, or YBCO for short, using both the anisotropic London theory and simulations based on existing muon spin rotation techniques. The thesis first describes the muon spin rotation ($\mu$SR) techniques, and then gives a brief discussion of superconductivity with regard to the London theory of anisotropic, type II superconductors. Next, numerical results of the application of this theory to YBCO are presented. Three dimensional surface plots of the magnetic field components within the flux line lattice (FLL) are shown, as well as the corresponding contour plots of the fields. Field distributions are calculated from these surfaces, and the graphs are presented. These distributions correspond to the real part of the Fourier transform of the muon histogram, and a comparison between data taken on a polycrystalline sample and the theoretical prediction is made. In addition, variation of the field distributions with parameters such as penetration depth, angle of the average field, and the magnitude of the average field is discussed. The last part of the thesis is a theoretical study of the behavior of muons which have stopped within a superconductor. The muons are assumed to stop uniformly throughout the FLL area, and the precession of each about its local field is recorded as the projection of its polarization along each of three mutually perpendicular detectors. The depolarization of these signals as a function of time is an indication of the existence of transverse field components which exist within the FLL due solely to the anisotropy of the material. In order to further investigate these off axis fields, we have developed an extension of the usual $\mu$SR techniques, coupled with Fourier analysis, which yields new information. For example, with the proper analysis procedure, one may determine to good precision the direction of the average internal field B with respect to the applied field H\sb{a}. Other quantities, which we call moments of the field distribution, may also be determined

Love Your Neighbor: An Educational Strategy to Cultivate Compassion in Adolescent Males

When challenged to identify the greatest commandment in the Law, Jesus Christ famously included “love your neighbor” in his response, making love foundational for all followers of Christ. Compassion is a key element that serves to demonstrate biblical love; sadly, today’s culture often minimizes or discourages compassion. In ten years of chaplaincy at the secondary school level, this author has seen too many Christian young men finish their high school journey without a foundation in love through compassion. This thesis project will utilize existing resources for academic and biblical research, as well as interviews of 25 high school males, to identify factors contributing to successful development of compassion in young males. As a result, this thesis project will develop a strategy, through intentional ministry and educational planning and methodology, to instill or reinforce compassion in adolescent males. This strategy will enable young men to better express love which is foundational for all followers of Christ

The genesis of cultivated choral tone in the United States (1906-1928): Peter C. Lutkin, F. Melius Christiansen, and John Finley Williamson

The purpose of this study was to chronicle the genesis of cultivated choral tone in the United States from 1906 to 1928. That transformation was led by three conductors whose disparate careers represented a shared trajectory. Individually and collectively, they pioneered two singing genres with European provenance--a cappella and senza vibrato singing--as early techniques to isolate and refine choral tone. Their work converged in 1928, when it expanded to become the American A Cappella Movement (1928-1938). The earliest of the three conductors was Peter C. Lutkin (1858-1931). After study in Europe, he became dean of the School of Music at Northwestern University. Through his publications and university a cappella choir, founded in 1906, he placed greater responsibility on singers, and employed diction and breath control to improve intonation and tonal purity. German-educated Norwegian-American F. Melius Christiansen (1871-1955) was guided by his experience as a violinist and influenced by the choir of St. Thomas Church, Leipzig, Germany. In 1907, he began to gradually transform the choir of St. John's Lutheran Church choir in Northfield, Minnesota. By 1920, his St. Olaf Lutheran Choir toured nationwide and eventually epitomized a choral prototype through his publications, compositions, ideology, and methods, both original and derivative. Self-reliant and confident, Christiansen championed Russian choral literature, symphonic form for programming, and self-referential choral singing. His "inner choir" technique, "instrumental" tuning for choirs, and "conductorless" onset of tone were widely imitated. Spiritual beliefs undergirded his work. Originally inspired by Christiansen, Ohioan John Finley Williamson (1887-1964), a trained singer, cultivated choral tone by recontextualizing solo vocal Lamperti technique into choral methods. In 1920, he modeled his ensemble's results via national tours with his Dayton Westminster Choir. By 1926, he co-founded a choir school in a Dayton church where he implemented his theory of the choral rehearsal as a class voice lesson. His unorthodox tenets included his belief that vowels were controlled by volume and phrase conducting, that vowel color was dictated by overtones, and that a conflict existed between time beating and "rhythmic magic" (or "pace")
