But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.” - Mother Teresa In the past year, the face of our heroes and essential workers has transformed into a teacher, a student, a nurse, and a bus driver. rough so much uncertainty, it became clear that it is our schools that provide so much more for our commu- nity than simply an education. Our small, Catholic school by the ocean, became essential to promoting community resilience and rebuilding our emotional, social, and spiritual health in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic. LBCRS continues to weather the storm of uncertainty by providing families a stable, safe and equitable in-person learn- ing environment. Our dedicated teachers (heroes) have worked tirelessly to provide LBCRS students with an engaging, rigorous education. By encouraging dialogue and a culture of understanding and compassion, we foster the desire to build strong hearts and minds. As a result, we are reminded of the vital role our annual Crystal Ball fundraiser plays in ensuring the survival and success of our school. In addition, the Crystal Ball allows us the opportunity to acknowledge exemplary individuals whose love and service require our recognition and gratitude. Although we were unable to cele- brate in person, the Long Beach Catholic School family wishes to congratulate and honor our 43rd Annual Crystal Ball award recipients for their admirable dedication and loyalty. We observe your heroic individual and collective contribu- tions to our community and our school. is has been such a transformative time for our community, and it seemed only tting to present Rev.

Debbie is the consummate LBCRS alum and embodies our school’s values and hopes for our students. We are so proud of her personal and professional achievements. Roisin Donohoe and Collette Kavanagh are the well-deserved recipients of the Community Service Award. LBCRS’ mission is to build strong minds and hearts while providing an excellent faith-based education. What better way to demonstrate the power of this mission, than to point to the collective eorts they provide to our LBCRS students and families with their time, coaching, enthusiasm, and continued service. Our school is indebted to and blessed to have these incredible women as members of our Long Beach Catholic community. We would like to express our gratitude to the LBCRS School Board and Crystal Ball Committee for dedicating their time and exhausting every eort to ensure our deserving honorees are recognized and celebrated.

Lim6,10 Abstract A major objective in the exploration of Mars is to test the hypothesis that the planet hosted life. Even in the absence of life, the mapping of habitable and uninhabitable environments is an essential task in developing a complete understanding of the geological and aqueous history of Mars and, as a consequence, understanding what factors caused Earth to take a different trajectory of biological potential. We carried out the aseptic collection of samples and comparison of the bacterial and archaeal communities associated with basaltic fumaroles and rocks of varying weathering states in Hawai‘i to test four hypotheses concerning the diversity of life in these environments. Using high-throughput sequencing, we found that all these materials are inhabited by a low-diversity biota. Multivariate analyses of bacterial community data showed a clear separation between sites that have active fumaroles and other sites that comprised relict fumaroles, unaltered, and syn-emplacement basalts.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971.

President’s Report – Steve Freeman A. Expansion of Charter Schools At its November 25, 2014 meeting the Board of Education the Board approved tuition payments of over $22,000 per student plus transportation costs to two charter schools; one in Hempstead and one in Roosevelt. Four Long Beach elementary school students have opted to attend these schools at a cost of more than $100,000 per year. These funds come directly from our school district’s budget; reducing the amount available for district programs. This is a troubling trend especially as Governor Cuomo is calling for an Season’s Greetings from the Koch Brothers increase in the number of charter schools; a sentiment inexplicably seconded by Board of Regents Chancellor Merryl Tisch. Cuomo and Tisch seem intent on starving the public school system and privatizing education for the benefit of their Wall Street cronies. We cannot let that happen. B. Merry Taxmas Congressional Scrooges have let the $250 educator expense deduction expire. Barring a last minute change of heart the deduction will not be allowed on your 2014 return. C.

  • National Imagination and Novel in Late Twentieth-Century Denmark
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UCL Discovery Danmarkshistorier : National Imagination and Novel in Late Twentieth-Century Denmark Catherine Claire Thomson PhD The University of Edinburgh 2003 I hereby declare that this thesis has been composed by me, that the work is my own, and that it has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract Danmarkshistorier : National Imagination and Novel in Late Twentieth-Century Denmark This thesis centres on the contemporary Danish novel as a conduit for national imagining. Chapter one begins with a discussion of Benedict Anderson's account of the ability of novels to facilitate an imagining of the national community in time and space. Critical responses to Anderson's hypothesis are then situated in the context of late twentieth-century debates on the 'postnational' and 'posthistorical'. Recent Danish historiography attempts to negotiate national histories that recognise not only the contingency of established historical accounts but also their narrative nature, employing textual strategies such as resisting linear chronology and causality, historicising space and place, and fusing (individual) memory and (collective) history. Such texts, hybrid narratives between histories and stories of Denmark (or Danmarkshistorier ), implicate a Danish national model reader who is alive both to the homogenising contemporary discourse of danskhed (Danishness) and to its self-ironising subversion. Contemporary Danish literature, it is argued, shares this concern with what Bhabha identifies as the symbiosis of nationalist historical pedagogy and narrative performance. Chapters two to four focus on three novels which map out the Danish experience of the twentieth century and sit at the intersection of the genres which have marked Danish literature in the 1990s: the punktroman and the encyclopedic novel.

Wray22 Abstract A committee of the Mars Exploration Program Analysis Group (MEPAG) has reviewed and updated the description of Special Regions on Mars as places where terrestrial organisms might replicate (per the COSPAR Planetary Protection Policy). This review and update was conducted by an international team (SR-SAG2) drawn from both the biological science and Mars exploration communities, focused on understanding when and where Special Regions could occur. The study applied recently available data about martian environments and about terrestrial organisms, building on a previous analysis of Mars Special Regions (2006) undertaken by a similar team. Since then, a new body of highly relevant information has been generated from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (launched in 2005) and Phoenix (2007) and data from Mars Express and the twin Mars Exploration Rovers (all 2003).
