Ocean to Ocean G
OCEAN TO OCEAN G. M. Grant's 'roundunvarnisk'd tale' David Jackel GIEORGE MONRO GRANT'S Ocean to Ocean has often been described as a classic Canadian travel book, and rightly so. Few other works of its kind retain their appeal three generations after publication, when the novelty of the experiences described has long dissipated and the writer himself has long ceased to be a figure in the popular mind. Grant still speaks to us, more than a hundred years after his journey, and his book would, I think, stand comparison with such non-Canadian classics of the genre as Defoe's Tour through the Whole Island of Great Britain and Boswell's Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides. Such a comparison is not, however, my purpose here. Although Grant's Ocean to Ocean is, indeed, a masterful travel narrative, it is also much more than that, and just how much more does not seem to have been recognized. In the revised Literary History of Canada R. G. Moyles does make brief reference to Grant's "narrative stances" and proposes that we view the book as a "combination of adventure- story and mythic chronicle."1 These comments are suggestive, but they do not go nearly far enough to explain either the significance of Grant's ideas or his artistry in expressing them. The word artistry I choose deliberately, because a literary analysis of Ocean to Ocean reveals that Grant has, notwithstanding his disclaimers, done more than simply forward to the printer the notes hastily taken during his transcontinental journey. -

Inhuman Power: Infrastructural Modernism And The Fiction Of Social Form Abstract E.M. Forster’s imperative to “only connect” has long been read as modernist slogan for the rarefied depth of authentic interpersonal intimacy. Reframing the historical co-emergence of literary modernism and modern social science, this project tells a different story—not of connections between exceptional humans, but of connections between persons and environments. The prevailing canons of modernism have not yet grasped the internal complexity of early-twentieth-century debates regarding the interdependence of human and nonhuman agency. Early-twentieth-century sociologists like Émile Durkheim grounded both the autonomy of human culture and the disciplinary authority of sociology on the premise of species exceptionalism—the independence -

A.1 Preparation Instructions July 2021
State of California Department of Technology Stage 1 Business Analysis Preparation Instructions Version 2.5 Statewide Information Management Manual – Section 19A.1 July 2021 INTRODUCTION TO THE STAGE 1 BUSINESS ANALYSIS Overview Statewide Information Management Manual (SIMM) Section 19A, Stage 1 Business Analysis, is the first stage of the information technology (IT) Project Approval Lifecycle and provides a basis for project management, program management, executive management, and state-level control agencies to understand and agree on business problems or opportunities, and the objectives to address them. Additionally, the Stage 1 Business Analyses are used to generate the Conceptually Approved IT Project Proposals Report each quarter, which represents the Executive Branch's plan for IT investments in support of the California IT Strategic Plan. The Stage 1 Business Analysis instructions are designed to help State of California agencies/state entities1 meet the California Department of Technology (CDT) IT project proposal documentation requirements. Clarifications Non-affiliated state entities (state entities not governed by agencies) are required to submit a Stage 1 Business Analysis for all proposals, regardless of delegated cost thresholds. Agency-affiliated state entities are not required to submit Stage 1 Business Analyses for Stage 1 Business Analyses that have been approved by the agency as delegated. Project approval reporting requirements are initially determined as part of the Stage 1 Business Analysis but may change as the proposal progresses though the Project Approval Lifecycle. Agency Chief Information Officers (AIOs) have been delegated CDT approval authority for Stage 1 Business Analyses prepared by agency-affiliated state entities. Stage 1 Business Analyses prepared by non-affiliated state entities must be approved by the CDT prior to conducting and submitting a Stage 2 Alternatives Analysis. -

The event has not been explained well in other accounts. This article shows how and why agreement came about; it was the result of efforts made by key individuals, among whom was Sandford Fleming, using professional and scientific organizations new to North America. -

Rotman School of Management. The Impact of Railways on the World Railroads first appeared in the United Kingdom in the early 19th Century.This new transportation technology turned out to be revolutionary in more than one sense. Railroads not only reduced travel time for individuals and dramatically cut the costs of shipped goods, they also contributed to the creation of modern capitalism and even led to the acceptance of standardized time. Simply put, the demands for capital were so great (“about $36,000 a mile on average at a time when $1,000 a year was a middle class income”)1 old ways of providing capital, usually from wholesale merchants, were no longer sufficient. As for the standardization of time, a uniquely Canadian contribution,2 railway travel spanning thousands of miles and several time zones (as was the case in Canada) required that time be synchronized on a more widespread standard basis, rather than varying from city to city, as had been the case prior to the adoption of Standard Time. -

TESL: A Model with Metric Time for Modeling and Simulation Hai Nguyen Van Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, LRI, Orsay, France https://perso.crans.org/nguyen-van Frédéric Boulanger Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, LRI, CentraleSupélec, Orsay, France [email protected] Burkhart Wolff Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, LRI, Orsay, France burkhart.wolff@lri.fr Abstract Real-time and distributed systems are increasingly finding their way into critical embedded systems. On one side, computations need to be achieved within specific time constraints. On the other side, computations may be spread among various units which are not necessarily sharing a global clock. Our study is focused on a specification language – named TESL – used for coordinating concurrent models with timed constraints. We explore various questions related to time when modeling systems, and aim at showing that TESL can be introduced as a reasonable balance of expressiveness and decidability to tackle issues in complex systems. This paper introduces (1) an overview of the TESL language and its main properties (polychrony, stutter-invariance, coinduction for simulation), (2) extensions to the language and their applications. 2012 ACM Subject Classification Theory of computation → Timed and hybrid models Keywords and phrases Timed Systems, Semantics, Models, Simulation Digital Object Identifier 10.4230/LIPIcs.TIME.2020.15 Supplementary Material Artifacts and source code available at github.com/heron-solver/heron. 1 Introduction Designing and modeling systems nowadays still raise open problems. A very expressive language or framework can be useful to model a complex system where events are not trivially interleaved. On the opposite, an excessively expressive language is the reason for prohibitive slow-downs or even undecidability. -
