ANNUAL REPORT 2016 – 2017 President’s Report Let me begin by saying how honoured I am to be the President of Dobroyd Aquatic Club. At times I feel a bit like the captain of a prestigious liner, at the wheel, waving to the crowd on the dock, but what the crowds often don’t see is all the workers below, checking the engines, oiling the cogs and pistons, the kitchen staff, the cabin attendants, the people checking the life boats, as well as the people maintaining the rope lines or the 100 other tasks and jobs needed to keep a beautiful ship like that functioning and not running aground. So it is at DAC too, what many people might not see is the numerous individuals who give up their time, not just every sailing day but other times as well, whether it’s replying to some enquiry about hiring the hall, or how do they become a member, what boats do we sail, if they join can they store their boat here and all sorts of other things, often as mundane as going to the club on a Tuesday morning to get the bins out for the Garbos to collect, not glamorous, or fun but essential and is done every week none the less. Well by now you might have picked up on the fact that one of the reasons I feel so honoured to be President is the people who are DAC, the committee, the starters, the rescue crews, Linda in the canteen, the coaches, the ladies who put on our great functions and the people who may only do a small job, but it saves someone else having to do it, just like the guy who puts the smelly bins out each week. This is what DAC is all about, it’s our family of volunteers who make DAC the envy of many clubs. Again this year, Trevor, leading the training class has been a great success teaching young kids to sail, and additionally this year saw adults learning to sail, with Robin Pidd teaching adults in the boats and Lissa and Richie continuing the program, teaching youth and adults to sail on the boards. Well done to all of you. This year The Club purchased a new starters boat and was Christened, Dobbie Too, with more room for the starters and a fibreglass hull it should see us through into the future for some time yet. Sufficient storage space for boats to enable the club to grow has been a problem the Club has been working on for some time. Persistent efforts and ongoing discussions with council we have made

Dynamics and Stability of Resonant Rings in Galaxies B. P. Kondrat’ev Udmurt State University, Krasnoarmeœskaya ul. 71, Izhevsk, 426034 Russia Received December 24, 1998 Abstract—We have developed a model for a spheroidal, ring-shaped galaxy. The stars move in a ring with an elliptical cross section at the 1 : 1 frequency resonance. The shape of the cross section of the equilibrium ring depends on the oblateness of the galaxy itself, so that the ellipse of the ring cross section is radially extended when the oblateness of the galaxy is small. If the oblateness of galaxy exceeds some critical value, the ellipse cross section is extended along the Ox3 axis. The shape of the ring cross section is circular for a galaxy with critical eccentricity. The stability of the ring over a wide range of perturbations is studied. A fundamental bicu- bic dispersion equation for the frequencies of small oscillations of a perturbed ring is derived. Application of the model to the ring galaxy NGC 7020 shows that its ring cross section should be approximately circular. Anal- ysis of the dispersion equation demonstrates that stellar orbits in the arm are unstable (but the instability incre- ment is small). We conclude that stars in the ring of this galaxy should drift from the 1 : 1 resonance, and the ring itself should evolve. © 2000 MAIK “Nauka/Interperiodica”. 1.

  • Spirals of Transformation: Turtle Island Indigenous Social Movements and Literatures Laura M De Vos a Dissertation Submitted In
    Spirals of Transformation: Turtle Island Indigenous Social Movements and Literatures Laura M De Vos A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: Dian Million, Chair Habiba Ibrahim, Chair Eva Cherniavsky José Antonio Lucero Program authorized to offer Degree: English ©Copyright 2020 Laura M De Vos University of Washington Abstract Spirals of Transformation: Turtle Island Indigenous Social Movements and Literatures Laura M De Vos Chairs of the Supervisory Committee: Dian Million Department of American Indian Studies Habiba Ibrahim Department of English Spirals of Transformation analyzes the embodied knowledges visible in Indigenous social movements and literatures. It demonstrates how a heuristic of spiralic temporality helps us see relationships and purposes the settler temporal structure aims to make not just invisible, but unthinkable. “Spiralic temporality” refers to an Indigenous experience of time that is informed by a people’s particular relationships to the seasonal cycles on their lands, and which acknowledges the present generations’ responsibilities to the ancestors and those not yet born. The four chapters discuss the Pacific Northwest Fish Wars, several generations of Native women activism, Idle No More, and the No Dakota Access Pipeline movement respectively. Through a discussion of literatures from the same place, the heuristic helps make visible how the place- based values, which the movements I discuss are fighting for, are both as old as time and adapted to the current moment. In this way, spiralic temporality offers a different conceptualization than what the hegemonic settler temporality is capable of.

  • Broadreach JANUARY 2018
    Broadreach JANUARY 2018 Broadwater Sailing Club Affiliated to the RYA Top : Catherine Turner, past commodore and secretary, enjoying some Albacore sailing in the summer with Brian Deacon. Bottom : Nick Fairweather and his son at the same event in Weymouth. Editorial 2017 has certainly been quite memorable and I’m not thinking of Trump or Brexit. The club has had a wide variety of weather, including plenty of windy days. We have also had lots of new members, some leavers (sadly), the usual batch of open meetings and also club representation at many events around the country. And of course we have had weed...lots of weed! This issue covers some of these goings on and even tries to educate as well as amuse. Continuing with his series of excellent technical articles, we have the first part of an interesting article on hulls from Peter Joseph. As mentioned, our members continue to travel to open meetings and major championships and some have reported back. So we have a nice report by Brian Deacon on the Albacore Inter- nationals, where a number of club members ventured forth. And Dave Patrick has kindly summarised his first experience of a competitive but chastening Phan- tom nationals. Both our fearless reporters came back with some great photos and clearly enjoyed themselves. Dave Wilson, who generally travels to more warmer climes than the open meetings of the UK, did manage to visit Stone week, and tells us about another breezy affair. The dreaded weed was, as we will all be aware, more in evidence than ever this summer, and so it is clearly important for the members to know what our options are.
