Biography Charles Schneeman was born in Staten Island, New York on November 24, 1912. In 1922 his family moved to Brooklyn, where he attended Erasmus Hall High School from 1924 to 1928. He received a diploma from New York City's Pratt Institute in 1933. Further art training followed at Grand Central School of Art with Harvey Dunn and George Bridgeman's figure drawing classes. The catalyst for Schneeman's interest in science fiction and drawing was explained in a letter written to Alva Rogers: "a friend showed me an early copy of Amazing Stories sometime in 1927 and it was my undoing. The world lost a chemist as I went down the science fiction drain."1 Early artistic influences included Winsor McKay, Franklyn Booth, McClelland Barclay and H.G. Wesso. Charles Schneeman began illustrating for Astounding Stories in 1935. His first cover illustration for Astounding Science Fiction appeared in May 1938. In 1940, Charles Schneeman was drafted and stationed at Lowry Field, Denver, Colorado. Although W.W. II interrupted his career, Schneeman continued to produce science fiction graphics. During his assignment with the Army Air Corps 3rd Film Strip unit, he illustrated technical manuals. He married Betty Myers in 1944 and was released from the Armed Services in 1945. Schneeman returned to New York, where his first son, Paul, was born. He worked as an illustrator and photographic retoucher at the NY Journal-American in 1946 and 1947. After another move in 1947, he found employment in the same capacity with the Denver Post. During this time, the Schneemans' other two children, Gregg and Lynne, were born. In October, 1950, Charles Schneeman moved with his family to California. He worked as a retoucher and illustrator for the Los Angeles Examiner. Schneeman participated in the Los Angeles Newspaper Guild strike, walking the picket line and working odd jobs to support his family. The guild was still on strike when Schneeman passed away on January 1, 1972. He died due to complications from polysythemia, compounded by religious beliefs forbidding blood transfusions. During his residence in Pasadena, Schneeman exhibited his artwork in California venues including: the Pasadena Art Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum, various Laguna galleries, and street fairs. 1 Charles Schneeman, letter to Alva Rogers, 10 Feb. 1966 (box 12, ff 37).

ANALYSIS OF WATER MASSES DISTRIBUTION AND CIRCULATION IN THE WHITE SEA, RUSSIA. by LAURENT LATCHE A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth In partial fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Earth, Ocean and Environmental Sciences Faculty of Science March 2004 ANALYSIS OF WATER MASSES DISTRIBUTION AND CIRCULATION IN THE WHITE SEA, RUSSIA. by Laurent Latche ABSTRACT The White Sea is a semi-enclosed sea, which consists of several bays and estuaries connected to the open ocean through the narrow and shallow Gorlo Strait. Several studies have been carried out in the region during the last decade in order to investigate the potential threat of anthropogenic pollutants. However, the temporal and spatial resolution of such experiments has been inadequate to resolve issues such as the dispersion and propagation of environmentally hazardous substances. The present investigation uses in-situ measurements of temperature and salinity gathered at high spatio-temporal resolution for the first time, as part of the FNTAS project "Mesoscale physical and biogeochemical processes in coastal waters of the Russian Arctic" and of a number of Russian national and EU research projects.

  • Robert Graves the White Goddess
    ROBERT GRAVES THE WHITE GODDESS IN DEDICATION All saints revile her, and all sober men Ruled by the God Apollo's golden mean— In scorn of which I sailed to find her In distant regions likeliest to hold her Whom I desired above all things to know, Sister of the mirage and echo. It was a virtue not to stay, To go my headstrong and heroic way Seeking her out at the volcano's head, Among pack ice, or where the track had faded Beyond the cavern of the seven sleepers: Whose broad high brow was white as any leper's, Whose eyes were blue, with rowan-berry lips, With hair curled honey-coloured to white hips. Green sap of Spring in the young wood a-stir Will celebrate the Mountain Mother, And every song-bird shout awhile for her; But I am gifted, even in November Rawest of seasons, with so huge a sense Of her nakedly worn magnificence I forget cruelty and past betrayal, Careless of where the next bright bolt may fall. FOREWORD am grateful to Philip and Sally Graves, Christopher Hawkes, John Knittel, Valentin Iremonger, Max Mallowan, E. M. Parr, Joshua IPodro, Lynette Roberts, Martin Seymour-Smith, John Heath-Stubbs and numerous correspondents, who have supplied me with source- material for this book: and to Kenneth Gay who has helped me to arrange it. Yet since the first edition appeared in 1946, no expert in ancient Irish or Welsh has offered me the least help in refining my argument, or pointed out any of the errors which are bound to have crept into the text, or even acknowledged my letters.
