    On the Craft of Fiction—EL Doctorow at 80

    Interview Focus Interview VOLUME 29 | NUMBER 1 | FALL 2012 | $10.00 Deriving from the German weben—to weave—weber translates into the literal and figurative “weaver” of textiles and texts. Weber (the word is the same in singular and plural) are the artisans of textures and discourse, the artists of the beautiful fabricating the warp and weft of language into everchanging pattterns. Weber, the journal, understands itself as a tapestry of verbal and visual texts, a weave made from the threads of words and images. This issue of Weber - The Contemporary West spotlights three long-standing themes (and forms) of interest to many of our readers: fiction, water, and poetry. If our interviews, texts, and artwork, as always, speak for themselves, the observations below might serve as an appropriate opener for some of the deeper resonances that bind these contributions. THE NOVEL We live in a world ruled by fictions of every kind -- mass merchandising, advertising, politics conducted as a branch of advertising, the instant translation of science and technology into popular imagery, the increasing blurring and intermingling of identities within the realm of consumer goods, the preempting of any free or original imaginative response to experience by the television screen. We live inside an enormous novel. For the writer in particular it is less and less necessary for him to invent the fictional content of his novel. The fiction is already there. The writer’s task is to invent the reality. --- J. G. Ballard WATER Anything else you’re interested in is not going to happen if you can’t breathe the air and drink the water.

    Night and Day Year 3 Earth and Space Sciences

    Fully aligned with theCurriculum Australian Night and day Year 3 Earth and space sciences About this unit Night and day What causes night and day? The rising of the Sun and the Moon are daily reminders of the awe and wonder, beauty and power of the universe. Studying the relationships between the Sun, Earth and Moon helps us understand how we experience day and night on Earth. It also helps us understand directions in terms of North, South, East and West, how time is based on the apparent movement of the Sun across the sky and how time can be determined using a sundial. The Night and day unit is an ideal way to link science with literacy in the classroom. Students explore the sizes, shapes, positions and movements of the Sun, Earth and Moon. They investigate how shadows change throughout the day and link these changes to the Sun’s apparent movement across the sky. Students role-play the movements of the Earth in relation to the Sun and Moon. Through investigations, they explain night and day in terms of the Earth spinning on its axis.

    I Can See 1 - Light and Shadows Topic: I Can See –Light and Shadows Time: 15 min Age group: 3 - 5 What you need • Kia Rapua I Can See Station • Acrylic panels • Chalks • Markers • Large sheets of paper • Different shapes (objects or cardboard shapes) What to do Set up • Set up the I Can See Station using the panel module • Have the Acrylic Panels in place Activity Ideally this activity should be done at two separate times during the day; in the morning and afternoon. Tell children that, they will be observing shadows outside to see how they change over the course of the day. Before you start is important to decide if you’ll have children use chalk to draw on the ground or if you’ll have them use crayons or markers on large sheets of paper spread on the ground. • Bring children outside to an open, sunny space around the I Can See Station • Break children into pairs. • One children will choose and object or shape to put against the acrylic panel • The other one will trace the shadow of it. • It is important to mark the exact point the object or shape was place. • Return to the spot in the afternoon and have the children switch places and place the object in the exact same position it was. • Have the child use a different colour to trace the new shadow The science • Outside, the shape, size, and position of a shadow change over the course of the day as the sun’s position changes, due to the earth movement.

    Short Note Dynamic Analysis of a Large Freestanding Rock Tower (Castleton Tower, Utah) by Jeffrey R

    Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Vol. 109, No. 5, pp. 2125–2131, October 2019, doi: 10.1785/0120190118 Ⓔ Short Note Dynamic Analysis of a Large Freestanding Rock Tower (Castleton Tower, Utah) by Jeffrey R. Moore, Paul R. Geimer, Riley Finnegan, and Clotaire Michel Abstract We acquired a unique ambient vibration dataset from Castleton Tower, a 120 m high bedrock monolith located near Moab, Utah, to resolve dynamic and material properties of the landform. We identified the first two resonant modes at 0.8 and 1.0 Hz, which consist of mutually perpendicular, linearly polarized horizontal ground motion at the top of the tower. Damping ratios for these modes were low at ∼1%. We successfully reproduced field data in 3D numerical eigenfrequency simulation implementing a Young’s modulus of 7 GPa, a value ∼30% lower than measured on core samples. Our analysis confirms that modal deformation at the first resonant frequencies closely resembles that of a cantilever beam. The outcome is that with basic estimates of geometry and material properties, the resonant frequencies of other freestanding rock monoliths can be estimated a priori. Such estimates are crucial to evaluate the response of rock towers to external vibration inputs. Supplemental Content: Two animations of the modal displacement field for the first two resonant modes of Castleton Tower. Introduction Knowledge of the dynamic properties of slender, free- natural towers, for example, offer limited access to points at standing structures is crucial to predict their response to exter- which vibration measurements can be made. Therefore meth- nal forces, for example, earthquakes (Carder, 1936; Hall et al., ods to characterize the natural modes of vibration typically 1995; Goel and Chopra, 1997).
