Ken Gloss was called to an unassuming, ranch- style home where a little old lady lived alone. Walking up to the home he didn’t expect the trip to result in much more than a short friendly visit, but upon entering the premises he was astounded to find himself surrounded by watercolors done by Turner. He estimated them to at least $1 million. The lady had been married to a Ukrainian prince. “The books were lousy, but the stories she told were priceless,” Gloss recalled. There was the time an Irish woman of a certain age called the shop saying, “I slept with Kennedy.” The lady said she had letters from the President that she Mattapoisett wanted appraised for value. The end of the story is that she was Kennedy’s governess when he was a small child, and she had indeed slept with the then infant Kennedy.

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 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.
