Grand2, & Volker Springel2 1Leibniz-Institut f¨urAstrophysik Potsdam (AIP), An der Sternwarte 16, D-14482 Potsdam, Germany 2Max-Planck-Institut f¨urAstrophysik, Karl-Schwarzschild-Str. 1, D-85748, Garching, Germany Accepted 2020 June 30. Received 2020 June 30; in original form 2019 October 29 ABSTRACT We investigate the impact of cosmic rays (CR) and different modes of CR transport on the properties of Milky Way-mass galaxies in cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations in the context of the AURIGA project. We systematically study how advection, anisotropic diffusion and additional Alfven-wave´ cooling affect the galactic disc and the circum-galactic medium (CGM). Global properties such as stellar mass and star formation rate vary little between simulations with and without various CR transport physics, whereas structural prop- erties such as disc sizes, CGM densities or temperatures can be strongly affected. In our sim- ulations, CRs affect the accretion of gas onto galaxies by modifying the CGM flow structure. This alters the angular momentum distribution which manifests itself as a difference in stellar and gaseous disc size. The strength of this effect depends on the CR transport model: CR advection results in the most compact discs while the Alfven-wave´ model resembles more the AURIGA model. The advection and diffusion models exhibit large (r ∼ 50 kpc) CR pressure- dominated gas haloes causing a smoother and partly cooler CGM.

  • Roads to Zion Hip Hop’S Search for the City Yet to Come
    5 Roads to Zion Hip Hop’s Search for the City Yet to Come No place to live in, no Zion See that’s forbidden, we fryin’ —Kendrick Lamar, “Heaven and Hell” (2010) The sense of the end-times and last days must be entered in order to find the creative imagination that can reveal paths of survival and threads of renewal as chaos winds its wicked way back to cosmos again. —Michael Meade Robin D. G. Kelley, in his book Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination, argues that Exodus served as the key political and moral compass for African Americans during the antebellum era and after the Civil War.1 Exodus gave people a critical language for understanding the racist state they lived in and how to build a new nation. Exodus signified new beginnings, black self-determination, and black autonomy. Marcus Garvey’s “Back to Africa” movement represented a pow- erful manifestation of this vision of Exodus to Zion. He even purchased the Black Star shipping line in order to transport goods and people back to their African motherlands. Though Garvey’s Black Star Line made only a few voyages, it has remained a powerful symbol of the longing for home. As the dream of Exodus faded, Zion has become the more central metaphor of freedom and homecoming in contemporary black cultural expressions. Along these lines, Emily Raboteau—reggae head and daughter of the re- nowned historian of African American religion Albert J. Raboteau—explores Zion as a place that black people have yearned to be in her book, Searching for Zion: The Quest for Home in the African Diaspora.2 In her wanderings through Jamaica, Ethiopia, Ghana, and the American South and her conversations with Rastafarians and African Hebrew Israelites, Evangelicals, Ethiopian Jews, and Ka- trina transplants, one truth emerges: there are many roads to Zion.

Sketch is produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress). http://lib.dr.iastate.edu/sketch The Holy Order by Erin Elizabeth McConnell Dawn Devotionals My day begins with a prayer. Eyes pursed, warding off cursed distraction; I stumble over a childhood verse. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I give you my heart and my soul. I repeat the prayer in quick succession, hoping that the repetition will convince me that I truly mean these words. The angry sun glares through the eyelet curtains, highlighting my iconographic surround­ ings. Tiny pictures, clipped from magazines, cruelly display all of the food which I have denied myself. I jjazc adoringly at images of ambrosia (steaming entrees, decadent desserts), all cdintin^ with Byzantine shimmer. As if these could satiate mv never-ending hunger. With my finders, I gently trace the outline of my ribs.

  • The Mcavoy Sisters Book of Secrets - Excerpt
    The McAvoy Sisters Book of Secrets - Excerpt Chapter 1 MAY 2018 DELIA Delia Collins was not proud of her glee. It was unbecoming, she got that. And truthfully, she couldn’t even say where it came from. What awful spring of motherhood created this kind of joy in catching her teenage daughter sneaking back into the house past curfew? If she was a different kind of mother she’d be worried. Or angry. Even guilty. And she was angry, worried and guilty (this had to be partly her fault – hers and Dan’s - they were too lenient, too forgiving. Let her sleep too long in their bed when she was a baby. Something.) But somewhere between her gut and her head the anger, worry and guilt morphed into this…giddiness. Delia and Dan had told her they were trusting her. That this was – for real this time - her last chance. Brin had promised she wouldn’t be late. And Brin blew it. Dan shuffled into the room, blurry-eyed, up way past his bedtime, and she felt a sudden rush of affection for him in his worn-thin Cleveland Browns pajama pants. “Go on to bed,” she told him as she dragged her old blue rocking chair across the carpet. “What are you doing?” “Nothing. Actually, can you…?” The chair got stuck on the edge of the coffee table and she couldn’t twist it away. Dan reached down and pulled it loose, the momentum nearly knocking her sideways. “Careful,” he said and reached out to steady her. 1 The McAvoy Sisters Book of Secrets - Excerpt “I’m going to be the first thing Brin sees when she walks in the door.” She glanced down at her watch.
