Introduction: In this study we use recent image, the surface [7]. Impact craters display morphologies spectral and topographic data to map the geology of the ranging from simple to complex [7-9,24] and most lunar South Pole quadrangle (LQ-30) at 1:2.5M scale contain floor deposits distinct from surrounding mate- [1-7]. The overall objective of this research is to con- rials. Most of these deposits likely consist of impact strain the geologic evolution of LQ-30 (60°-90°S, 0°- melt; however, some deposits, especially on the floors ±180°) with specific emphasis on evaluation of a) the of the larger craters and basins (e.g., Antoniadi), ex- regional effects of impact basin formation, and b) the hibit low albedo and smooth surfaces and may contain spatial distribution of ejecta, in particular resulting mare.

Teaching children to respect themselves, others, and their environment, Eunoia leads every child in maximizing their potential and preparing them as global citizens. Eunoia Learning Academy will serve students, Pre-K – Grade 8, through use of arts and humanities projects based design. ELA is focused on education of the whole child through a projects-based, art and humanities design. Providing a triangulation of support in three critical areas – education, social-emotional health, and the security of a place to call home – we believe when a child’s fundamental needs are addressed, and a culture established that fosters safety, well being and consistency, the child is able to focus on learning and maximize potential. Similar in concept, the Harlem Children’s Zone, created by Geoffrey Canada, is founded on the premise that to truly change the lives and level the playing field for high needs’ urban children, equipping them to be able to compete with their middle-class peers, you need to change everything in their lives – their schools, their neighborhoods (social behavioral health) and even the child-rearing practices of their parents.1 Educational Need and Target Population Eunoia’s targeted population will reside within Indianapolis Public School boundaries, with focused efforts within the 2-mile radius from the School’s proposed near west side Guion Road location. -

Thiemens Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry University of California San Diego La Jolla, California 92093 USA [email protected] Mang Lin State Key Laboratory of Isotope Geochemistry Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences Guangzhou, Guangdong 510640 China University of Chinese Academy of Sciences Beijing 100049 China [email protected] THE BEGINNING OF ISOTOPES Discovery and chemical physics The history of the discovery of stable isotopes and later, their influence of chemical and physical phenomena originates in the 19th century with discovery of radioactivity by Becquerel in 1896 (Becquerel 1896a–g). The discovery catalyzed a range of studies in physics to develop an understanding of the nucleus and the properties influencing its stability and instability that give rise to various decay modes and associated energies. Rutherford and Soddy (1903) later suggested that radioactive change from different types of decay are linked to chemical change. Soddy later found that this is a general phenomenon and radioactive decay of different energies and types are linked to the same element. Soddy (1913) in his paper on intra-atomic charge pinpointed the observations as requiring the observations of the simultaneous character of chemical change from the same position in the periodic chart with radiative emissions required it to be of the same element (same proton number) but differing atomic weight. This is only energetically accommodated by a change in neutrons and it was this paper that the name “isotope” emerges. -

The formation and evolution of Ganymede’s landforms highly depend on the nature of the 20 icy materials as they present various thermal and rheological behaviors. This chapter reviews the 21 currently known thermodynamic parameters of the ice phases and hydrates reported on Ganymede, which 22 seem to affect the evolution of the surface, using mainly results from the Voyager and Galileo missions. 23 24 Keywords: Ganymede; Ices; Ices, Mechanical Properties; Experimental techniques; Geological 25 processes 26 27 1 Introduction 28 29 Icy bodies of the outer solar system, including satellites of the gas giants, harbor surface ices made of 30 volatile molecules, clathrates, and complex molecules like hydrocarbons. -
Christian Bök (1966 — ) Is a Professor at the University of Calgary, and He Is the Author of Two Books of Poetry
Parliamentary Poet Laureate POETRY CONNECTION: LINK UP WITH CANADIAN POETRY Christian Bök (1966 — ) is a professor at the University of Calgary, and he is the author of two books of poetry. Crystallography (Coach House, 1994) has been nominated for the Gerald Lampert Award for Best Poetic Debut, and Eunoia (Coach House, 2001) has won the 2002 Griffin Poetry Prize, becoming a bestseller in Canada and the UK. Eunoia consists of five chapters (each of which tells a story, using words that contain only one of the five vowels). Bök has also published a book of critical writing, entitled ‘Pataphysics: The Poetics of an Imaginary Science (Northwestern University Press, 2001). Bök has created artificial languages for two TV shows: Gene Roddenberry’s Earth: Final Conflict and Peter Benchley’s Amazon. He has also exhibited artworks in galleries around the world. Poem for discussion: “The Perfect Malware” is a selection from an ongoing project, entitled The Xenotext, a transgenic artwork that Bök has been creating for the last 11 years at a cost of $120,000. Bök has written two poems that mutually encode each another (e.g., the word “lyre” in one poem translates to “rely” in the other, with L assigned to R and E assigned to Y). Bök has encoded the first poem as a sequence of DNA implanted into a bacterium. The lifeform then “reads” this poem, as part of its normal biological processes, and then the lifeform “writes” the second poem, encoding it into a sequence of amino acids that make up a protein. Bök is quite literally writing a living poem. -

The mass resolution of these simulations is the highest ever published for cosmological Milky Way zoom-in simulations run to z = 0, with initial star (dark matter) particle masses of 994 (17900) M , and a force resolution of 87 pc. We study the surrounding dwarfs and UFDs, and find the simulations match the observed dynamical properties of galaxies with −3 < MV < −19, and reproduce the scatter seen in the size-luminosity plane for rh & 200 pc. We predict the vast majority of nearby galaxies will be observable by the Vera Rubin Observatory's co-added Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). -

The Meaning Revealed at the Nth Degree in Christian Bök's Eunoia
The Meaning Revealed at the Nth Degree in Christian Bök’s Eunoia Sean Braune hristian Bök is one of the foremost Canadian poets of the avant-garde. During a conversation between Bök and Darren Wershler-Henry for Brick, Wershler-Henry noted that Eunoia Cis the fastest selling book of poetry since Robert Service’s Songs of a Sourdough (119). The book’s success has left Bök baffled: “I wonder sometimes whether or not people are simply reading it because of its freakish character, passing by it like a carload of vacationers, slowing down to gawk at a two-headed calf by the side of the road” (Brick 120). Its success is indeed surprising because of the work’s experiment- al nature and avant-garde status. Experimental literature is typically not commercially fruitful, which makes the success of Eunoia all the more surprising. Perhaps Bök is correct when he compares his work to a “two-headed calf” because of its peculiar success. The book’s formid- able structural constraint requires a gloss or “skeleton key” to assist in approaching and decoding the work. This essay is intended to facilitate such an approach. The obsessive construction of Eunoia is influenced by the textual constraints of the French literary group called the “Oulipo.”1 The Oulipo was a “workshop” where many prominent French writers met to discuss the possibility of producing texts without the aid of “inspira- tion.” Rather than rely on a “lightning bolt” of inspiration to strike, the Oulipians invented mathematical constraints that could produce litera- ture with or without the aid of a writer.2 These constraints can be seen in the syntactical parallelism, internal rhyme schemes, and the inverse- lipogram3 of the book’s textual structure. -
