  • “In Remembrance of Susan Manning”: James Chandler, Franke
    “In Remembrance of Susan Manning”: James Chandler, Franke Institute for the Humanities, University of Chicago Annual Meeting of the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes Hall Center for the Humanities, University of Kansas April 2013 Diminutive as she was in physical stature, Susan Manning was in all other respects a truly great woman. She was both dignified and unpretentious. At once smart and learned and wise. Tremendously energetic, even in the face of serious debility. Her presence graced any gathering she joined and elevated any enterprise to which she lent her great gifts. This enterprise, CHCI, was lucky enough to have her on its advisory board for most of the last seven year of her truncated life. She was a wonderful presence in our midst: imaginative, steady, principled, humane, and thoughtful. To know Susan was to admire her. To know her well was to aspire to be her friend. To know her work, on the page and in the many institutions she tirelessly served, was to recognize intellectual and academic virtue of the highest order. Our loss is enormous, commensurate with her greatness, and we feel it with special keenness here today. The passing of great women and men leaves us with a large hole in our lives, but their own lives make for extraordinary reading after they are gone. I’ve read several obituaries about Susan since her death, and I learned much about her that I hadn’t known. I knew that she was born in Scotland and moved to the suburbs of Oxford when she was about nine years old.

  • Bathing Water Profile for Eyemouth
    Bathing Water Profile for Eyemouth Eyemouth, Scotland __________________ Current water classification https://www2.sepa.org.uk/BathingWaters/Classifications.aspx Today’s water quality forecast http://apps.sepa.org.uk/bathingwaters/Predictions.aspx _____________ Description The bathing water is situated next to Eyemouth town in the Scottish Borders. It is a small, shallow sandy bay of about 0.3 km in length. The beach is popular with families during the summer months. During high and low tides the approximate distance to the water’s edge can vary from 0–100 metres. For local tide information see: http://easytide.ukho.gov.uk/EasyTide/index.aspx Site details Local authority Scottish Borders Council Year of designation 1999 Water sampling NT 94463 64524 location EC bathing water ID UKS7616022 Catchment description A catchment area of 120 km2 drains into Eyemouth bathing water. The main rivers in the bathing water catchment are the Eye Water, Ale Water, Horn Burn and the North Burn. Agriculture is the major land use in the catchment. The upland areas are almost exclusively livestock rearing areas whereas the lower parts of the catchment include more arable farming. The catchment includes the urban area of Eyemouth town. Average summer rainfall for the region is 296 mm compared to 331 mm across Scotland as a whole. Risks to water quality This bathing water is subject to short term pollution when heavy rainfall washes bacteria into the sea. Pollution risks include agricultural run-off and combined sewer overflows. These are highlighted on Map 1. There is a risk that water pollution may occur after heavy rainfall.

    Text and photos by Lawson Wood False Killer Whales — Enchanting Cetaceans of Dominica 74 X-RAY MAG : 42 : 2011 EDITORIAL FEATURES TRAVEL NEWS EQUIPMENT BOOKS SCIENCE & ECOLOGY EDUCATION PROFILES PORTFOLIO CLASSIFIED travel Dominica Once or twice in a rare Blue Moon, opportu- nity sometimes comes along and hits you on the head—or in my case, I was hit on the head—by a juvenile sperm whale. Let me recap. Along with a small group of like-minded conservationists and underwa- ter photographers, we were working under a special per- mit issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries on the Island of Dominica (pronounced DOMINEEKA) to try and iden- tify returning sperm whales and other cetaceans. Dominica is the youngest of the Caribbean islands and is flanked by Guadeloupe to the north and Martinique to the south, which are both French colonies. Inevitably, many of the locals speak a derivative of a French, Carib and West African creole known as Kwéyòl. Ancestors of the original Carib Indians, the Kalinago still live by traditional fishing and farming methods and are rather distinc- tive in appearance, resembling South American Amazon tribes and are much shorter in stature. The Kalinago name for the island is Wai’tukubuli. The local beer is called Kubuli! Extremely mountainous in aspect, two of the peaks are over 1,300 metres (4,500ft). I can honestly say that the topography is incredible with fantastic rain- forest fauna and flora all found within cloud-topped peaks, dra- Eye of scarred sperm whale, Band Aid 75 X-RAY MAG : 42 : 2011 EDITORIAL FEATURES TRAVEL NEWS EQUIPMENT BOOKS SCIENCE & ECOLOGY EDUCATION PROFILES PORTFOLIO CLASSIFIED travel Dominica CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: Pod of false killer whales patrol the seas around Dominica; Rugged coastline of Dominica draped with mist; Pair of false killer whales (inset) encounter any orca (unfortunately also known as killer whales), but they are also known to inhabit these coastal waters, attracted by the large number of juve- niles and calves of the larger whales.
