For those in need of email addresses of Europeans, and others, it might
be helpful to know that there is a service called Paradise, a COSINE
X.500 Directory service pilot, available by telnetting to
paradise.ulcc.ac.uk or (128.86.8.56) on internet, typing dua at the
login prompt, and using the help facilities thereafter. It has some
minor crinkles, you cannot search for a persons name only, you have to
specify a country and an organization. Organizations that are in the
database can, however, be browsed on a country basis.
The total number of entries for Europe was appr. 240 000, and for the
rest of the world appr. 560 000, according to the May 1992 report on
the project.

A result might look as follows (one of the recent requests)

I wonder if Lynda Williams, who wrote about using disks to distribute
worksheets and model answers, has started a series on ways of using
computers in instruction. Here is another contribution.

One of the subjects I teach is phonetics, and at the end of the first term
all students write a practical test, with items on finding homophone pairs,
identifying words in phonetic transcription, writing words in
transcription, marking the silent or linking r-s in a text (this is Great
Britain), marking syllables which contain schwa vowels, marking weak forms
of function words, identifying stress patterns, and marking tonic syllables
in short dialogues. After I have handed back the work, I go through it
publicly, displaying the text in Chiwriter (it has to be WYSYWYG on screen
as well as paper, so I can't use Word Perfect) using an overhead projector
panel. I type in model answers as we go, together with notes on anything a
student raises, alternatives they suggest, and so on. By the end of the
hour we have a fully annotated fair copy, partly created by the students
themselves. I print out one copy on the printer in my office and pin it up
on a board. Anyone wanting a personal copy can borrow the original and take
it to the photocopy room.

Perhaps we are not making enough use yet of OHP panels.

There is a complete concordance of the works of Aquinas compiled
by Father Busa, the founding father of Humanities computing. He
started his project in 1948. Results have been published between
1974 and 1979 in 49 volumes by Frommann-Holzboog in Stuttgart,
along with the 7 volumes of Aquinas' works. The project was
called the "Index Thomisticus". More on that in Chum, 18(2),
1984, in an article by Dolores, M. Burton.

Subject: Souls

I don't know the reference for Acquinas, but the notion of a soul entering
the embryo after forty days comes from the Talmud.
