The geology of the Grassy Butte area, McKenzie County, North Dakota

The Grassy Butte area lies in southern McKenzie County, just southwest of the deepest part of the Williston Basin, and is bordered on the north by the North Unit of the Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park. the purpose of this investigation was: (1) to prepare a geological map of the area; (2) to map the geologic structure of the area; (3) to measure and describe detailed stratigraphic sections which would aid in correlating rock units in this area with previously described rock units in adjacent areas; (4) to indicate lignite beds of possible economic value. The western three-fifths of the Grassy Butte area is thoroughly dissected into badland topography, but the eastern two-fifths is an upland plain, the Missouri Plateau. The Tongue River formation, including the Sentinel Butte member, and the Golden Valley formation are exposed at the surface. The Tongue River formation is Paleocene in age. The Golden Valley formation, of Eocene age, was determined to be more extensive in this area than was previously supposed, and the writer used as the base of the formation an horizon approximately 25 feet lower than the “orange marker bed” which had usually been used for mapping purposes before. A series of north plunging noses and troughs were found to be present in the western part of the Grassy Butte area. To the south, in the adjacent Elkhorn Ranch area, the plunge of the easternmost nose is reversed and anticlinal closure results. The village of Grassy Butte is located on the crest of another anticline, trending northwest-southeast. The Little Missouri River flows over the easternmost nose, which seems to exert directional control on the course of that river. The outcrop pattern also seems to be controlled to some extent by the structure of the Paleocene beds in this area

History in Collaboration: Equalizing the Arts and the Humanities in San Francisco

Historically, there has been a critical imbalance in the way history and preservation organizations are civically supported in comparison with the amount of funding that is available to arts organizations in the United States. To correct this imbalance in San Francisco, I propose the creation of a San Francisco Department of Culture that would place the San Francisco Arts Commission equally alongside a San Francisco History Commission within a department that absorbs responsibilities currently managed by other divisions with in city government, such as the Planning Department and the Office and Economic and Workforce Development. City government necessarily takes time to reorganize, so the first step will be to advocate for and demonstrate the need for a Department of Culture; this can be achieved by continuing to strengthen and expand San Francisco History Days, and by grooming key members of the event’s organizing committee to become stakeholders in a nascent San Francisco History Commission. This, however, will only address part of the problem; we must also address the problematic federal and perceptual division of the Arts from the Humanities, and the inaccurate perception that History is boring and irrelevant to contemporary life. To do this, we must present History didactically—in conversation with its surroundings, through collaboration with other types of cultural organizations

Comparison of Geology and Magnetism of a Portion of the Thunder Bay and Rainy River Districts

The portion of the Thunder Bay and Rainy River Districts covered in this report is an area of greatly varying magnetic susceptibility. Comparison of the geology and magnetic susceptibility by use of transparent overlays displays various features not previously shown on conventional geologic maps. Two subparallel magnetic highs trending at essentially right angles to the regional trends are strongly suggestive of dikes of basic rock. Small isolated highs in the western portion of the map are interpreted to be stocks of highly magnetic rock. The magnetic anomaly crossing batholithic granite indicates a continuation of Keewatin strata though not mapped. Likely locations of gold, nickel and iron concentrations are exhibited

Religion and Renunciation in Wordsworth: the Progression of Natural Individualism to Christian Stoicism

William Wordsworth was twenty-three when the French National Convention condemned the deposed Louis XVI to death, and France, under Robespierre and the Committee of Public Safety, dissolved into abject violence. The disappointing results of the Revolution and the subsequent events in European politics began to work a change in Wordsworth’s personal political and ethical views that would greatly affect not only his own poetry but the entire Romantic Movement. Even still, his eventual apostasy from the radical republicanism of his youth affects the way in which people read Wordsworth’s work, igniting both sympathy and resentment. The Ode to Duty is generally considered to mark a main transition in Wordsworth’s philosophy from individualism to the sort of stoicism he would hold in old age. The Ode, as Newton Stallknecht describes it, “contains elements of both romantic individualism and stoicism” (230). Stallknecht suggests that the poem ultimately tends more toward the stoical, confirming Wordsworth’s move to a new philosophy which would be fully realized by the time of The Excursion’s publication in 1820. This move seems drastic and sudden when the Ode to Duty is compared with works with which Wordsworth was composing at the same time such as The Prelude and Ode: Intimations of Immortality. However, the belief system that develops in his major poems from the period of 1797 to 1807 is actually the foundation of the Christian stoicism that characterizes his later work. Though often reaching a diametrical opposition to its early form, Wordsworth’s philosophy forms a coherent, if dynamic, progression from beginning its beginning to its final expression in Ode to Duty. Only after that poem was composed would any severance occur, and then it would be by the poet’s deliberate act. Through his investigation of a unique form of natural religion, the poet gradually reconciled his withdrawal from those causes whose pursuit had occupied his early adulthood, which allowed him to ease into a removed and disinterested philosophical position in good conscience. Wordsworth’s devotion to causes like the establishment of republican governance is rooted in his own need for freedom of body, mind, and expression. Unable to accept a compromise to his own freedom, he fights such conditions where he perceived others afflicted by them. The philosophical stance that informs his early work and that has been perceived as irreconcilable with his stoicism is best characterized as passionate individualism. The essential point of this position is the unqualified prioritization of individual freedom of will and body. It is strongly opposed to any sort of subjugation of human beings by one another, whether directly or through societal constructions. Attempting to embody the ideals of this system, Wordsworth establishes himself as a Promethean figure, combating oppression from which he is largely free on others’ behalf. This position is built upon the radical republican ideology shared by many Europeans after the fall of the Bastille. It begins as a mostly secular philosophy, and the spiritual elements introduced later would facilitate its transition to Wordsworth’s final Christian stoicism. This final stage of Wordsworth’s philosophical and religious development is characterized by an extreme devaluation of mortal life and by a corresponding exaltation of heavenly existence for the soul outside the material world. It adopts the idea of pervasive moral law from the Roman Stoics such as Seneca to a Christian context. Operating under this belief system, Wordsworth casts himself as a member of the masses, all equally burdened with their mortality. Fortitude in the face of suffering and a dispassionate contemplation of mortal things are virtuous dispositions to the later Wordsworth. Though this is a great change from his initial beliefs, it is not, even in the original Ode to Duty, a rejection of them but an evolution. Only when the poet decided that his earlier beliefs had been entirely misguided did he deliberately create a rift in Ode to Duty that marked it for posterity as his divorce from all he had previously been

A clean hydrogen market in the making. Comparing Norway's and the Netherland's roles in the European hydrogen transition.

The EU intends to become a climate-neutral continent by 2050. Clean hydrogen will be a crucial component to decarbonizing several sectors and creating an entirely new and prospering market. This master's thesis addresses how and to what extent Norway and the Netherlands can play a role in the clean hydrogen market in the EU and their path towards a low-carbon society. It uses qualitative comparative research design with an actor-centric approach at the government and business levels. Furthermore, the study address similarities and differences in the national hydrogen transitions by comparing government hydrogen strategies. Comparisons are made of Equinor and Gasunie's approaches to the transition to clean hydrogen production by studying their most prominent hydrogen projects. It also analyses and compares the countries’ efforts to impact EU policies on what they consider essential. The thesis concludes that Norway and the Netherlands are well placed to produce blue and green hydrogen and contribute with kickstarting the market. Actors at the government and business level must actively participate in dialogues for their interests to influence EU policy. The Dutch actors have actively contributed at an early stage with clear, proactive measures and active discussions and participation internationally compared to the Norwegian players. This thesis implies that the Norwegian government must be willing to cooperate closely with the Dutch government if Norway is to play a significant role in the European hydrogen market. Equinor's assessments of a new pipeline to the Northern Netherlands could be an excellent opportunity for Norway to join the European Hydrogen Backbone network

Employees\u27 perceptions of organizational justice: a comparison among human resource management issues

This study focused upon comparing aspects of fairness in terms of various human resource management issues, in particular, salaries, promotions, scheduling, and performance appraisals. Greenberg\u27s taxonomy of the classes of organizational justice was used as the basis for the aspects of fairness. A measure was developed for this study by compiling items corresponding to the aspects of justice delineated by Greenberg and by reviewing past measures to incorporate other aspects of justice specified by other researchers. The study analyzed the generalizability of the concept of fairness across the four human resource issues. Employees\u27 degree of perceived fairness varied between the human resource issues, but the relations between the components of fairness were comparable for each of the human resource issues. The choice of justice goal (equality, equity, or need) for basing human resource decisions was related to the human resource issue being addressed;This study also compared employees\u27 perceptions of fairness depending upon various demographic issues. The sample used for this study was fairly homogeneous. However, there were still some statistically significant, but small, differences found between males and females, among employees at different job levels, and between employees who had and had not worked for other companies in in their perceptions of fairness
