  • THE MASTHEAD Vol
    THE MASTHEAD Vol. 32 No. 4 WINTER 2012‐2013 Mid‐ Atlan c Marine Educa on Associa on From the Captain’s Quarters I am pleased to address the membership for the first time in the Masthead as MAMEA President. I hope that all of our members and their loved ones are safe following Superstorm Sandy. As marine educators we understand the power of nature. I am guessing that many lessons on climate and weather followed the days off of school during the storm. Thank you to all of our members who attended the annual conference in October. The conference was very successful with 68 participants, 2 invited speakers, 15 concurrent sessions, 3 Smith Island cakes, a campfire with s’mores, and a bushel of steamed crabs. MAMEAns from all four of our traditionally defined states and the District of Columbia, as well as members from outside of our traditional region, attended the conference. All four of our registration scholarships were awarded, and the success of the auction ensures the continued funding of the scholarship program. The MAMEA Board was also pleased to expand our support of the National Ocean Science Bowl and cover the registration fees for the winning coaches from our regional bowls. Two of the three winning coaches from our regional bowls attended the annual conference. A special thanks to the Education Programs team at the National Aquarium for their support in ensuring the conference was a success. Before we know it the holidays will be here and the New Year will be upon us. Please be sure to stay tuned for the state sponsored MAMEA events that all of our State Representatives are busy planning.

I am a 1944, photographer Robert Capa, in the employ of LIFE gambler. I decided to go in with Company E in the first wave." magazine, was among them. – Robert Capa Perhaps the best known of all World War II combat photographers, the Hungarian-born Capa The ten photos selected from the eleven surviving negatives had made a name for and published by LIFE on June himself well before 19, 1944 ... climbing into a landing craft with men of Company E in the early morning hours of D-Day. He risked his life on more than one occasion during the Spanish Civil War and had taken what is considered the most eerily fascinating of all war photographs. The famous image reportedly depicts the death of Spanish Loyalist militiaman Frederico Borrell Garcia as he is struck in the chest by a Nationalist bullet on a barren Iberian hillside. Capa was known to say, "If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough." On D-Day, he came close once again.

  • A Door County Beach in Winter
    A Door County Beach inWINTER Discover the four-season beauty of a Lake Michigan beach in Door County, Wisconsin, USA Presented by Glidden Lodge Beach Resort Commentary by Carolyn Rock, Natural Resource Educator, Whitefish Dunes State Park, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin “Don’t grow up too quickly, lest you forget how much you love the beach.” Michelle Held All photos taken Saturday, February 4, 2012 in the midst of an unseasonably mild Door County, Wisconsin winter. Unique designs are made as water collects and deposits sand grains on its journey to the lake. This illustrates the effect of water erosion on the landscape. Ripples of the lakebed can be seen and felt. Formed by wave action, these ripples are small versions of the unique landforms found at the Ridges Sanctuary. Segments of the Niagara Escarpment can be found under and along the shoreline. Remains of the commercial fishing pier provide a protective cove for the sandy beach. Wet sand provides a great chalk board for recording tracks of animals who have visited the beach. Rippled underwater sand is accented with divots in the clear waters of Lake Michigan. Just down the beach from Glidden Lodge Beach Resort: Whitefish Dunes State Park 4 mile drive or 3.5 mile hike along the beach State Park History - A Story of Protection Like a blanket protects us from cold, a cloak of low spreading plants with their netted roots shields the dunes from drying sunlight and wind. In this harsh environment, it may take more than a thousand years to stabilize the sand and grow a forest.

  • Penelope Umbrico (Us) – Everyone's Photos Any
    PENELOPE UMBRICO (US) – EVERYONE’S PHOTOS ANY LICENSE (654 of 1,146,034 Full Moons on Flickr, November 2015) – 2015 Penelope Umbrico asked – through Flickr – permission from professional and amateur photographers to use their photographs of full moons for an installation. The work stresses the relationship between the perceived democratic nature of the photographic medium and the actual exclusivity of its technology. Within the context of the abundance of digital images, the work calls into question ide as of originality and individuality. MIT ARCHIVE – MARGARET HAMILTON STANDING NEXT TO THE APOLLO GUIDANCE COMPUTER SOURCE CODE – 1969 Space travel is a male bastion, but Russian cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to travel into space in 1963. On earth too it’s not just men who do groundbreaking work. The American computer scientist Margaret Hamilton poses next to the source code that she and her team developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which allowed people to land safely on the moon. An enormous achievement given that computer technology was still in its infancy in the 1960s. Back then, the colossal computers were powered by just 72KB of computer memory (a smartphone nowadays has a million times more storage space) and relied upon analogue punched cards for input. Clockwise: SJOERD KNIBBELER (NETHERLANDS) – FRIEDE – 2017 For the Lunacy project, Sjoerd Knibbeler immersed himself in the rich history of flights to the moon. On the basis of documentation, he made wooden scale models of various spacecraft and photographed them by moonlight in an open-air studio.

  • Utilizing Beach-Cast Seaweed for Biochar Production in Gotland a Study of Energy and Carbon Balances of Algal Biochar
    Utilizing beach-cast seaweed for biochar production in Gotland A study of energy and carbon balances of algal biochar Johanna Sörbom Master of Science Thesis KTH School of Industrial Engineering and Management Energy Technology EGI- TRITA-ITM-EX 2020:591 Division of Heat and Power Technology SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Master of Science Thesis TRITA-ITM-EX 2020:591 Utilizing beach-cast seaweed for biochar production in Gotland - A study of energy and carbon balances of algal biochar Johanna Sörbom Approved Examiner Supervisor Date: 2020.12.21 Jeevan Jayasuriya Jean-Baptiste Thomas Commissioner Contact person Abstract With global warming, rising environmental issues, and increased beach-cast production, climate change mitigation efforts are important for the future of the planet. Carbon dioxide removal technologies are now deemed essential to reach the Sustainable development goals and keep the temperature rise under 1.5 or 2 degrees °C. Biochar produced from beach-cast seaweed has great potential as a fuel or as a means of carbon sequestration, while also proposing a way of dealing with unwanted beach-cast at public beaches. This study compares the alternative methodologies for performing carbon- and energy balances of the production of biochar from beach-cast seaweed. The methodologies differ in the accounting of emissions and energy consumption, either only accounting for consumed energy, including energy embodied in materials, or including avoided emissions. The viability of producing biochar from beach-cast seaweed is assessed while trying to answer if the biochar is best used as a fuel or as a means of carbon sequestration. Furthermore, the effect of pyrolysis peak temperature on the pyrolysis products is assessed.

  • Deploying the Dead: Combat Photography, Death and the Second World War in the USA and the Soviet Union
    KEVIN FOSTER Deploying the Dead: Combat Photography, Death and the Second World War in the USA and the Soviet Union s Susan Sontag has noted, ‘Ever since cameras were invented in 1839, photography has kept company with death’ (Sontag, 2003: 24). It has done so, principally, by taking its place on the world’s battlefields and, from the AUS Civil War onwards, bringing to the public graphic images of war’s ultimate truth. The camera’s unflinching witness to death helped establish photography’s authority as an apparently unimpeachable record of events. ‘A photograph’, Sontag observes, ‘passes for incontrovertible proof that a given thing happened’ (Sontag, 1977: 5). Yet the ‘truth’ of any photo is only ever conditional: ‘the photographic image … cannot be simply a transparency of something that happened. It is always the image that someone chose; to photograph is to frame, and to frame is to exclude’ (Sontag, 2003: 46). Photographers often worked, and continue to work, under close editorial direction with a detailed brief to collect specific images from designated areas in prescribed forms. The photographs they take are ‘Crafted through a maze of practices and standards, both explicit and implicit’ overseen by ‘photographers, photographic editors, news editors and journalists’ who collectively determine ‘how war can be reduced to a photograph’. The resulting images, Barbie Zelizer argues, ‘reflect what the camera sees by projecting onto that vision a set of broader assumptions about how the world works’ (Zelizer, 2004: 115). In this context it is clear that the photographic truth is less an elusive ideal than a consciously crafted product – it is manufactured, not discovered or revealed.

  • A Life in Space” As Requested
    These are sections of “A Life in Space” as requested. They have been selected at random and edited slightly so they flow better. On 12 April 1961, my mother, Marnie and I took a trip to London on the train from Epsom, Surrey to Waterloo Station. After doing some shopping, Mum and I went to a Lyons Corner House at the end of the Strand close to Trafalgar Square. I ate a huge lemon meringue pie with a thick layer of meringue that seemed to be a foot tall. As the years go by, the dimensions of the meringue topping reach epic proportions in my mind. Mum and I then walked to Leicester Square Underground station. Outside the station, the first editions of the Evening News and Evening Standard were being sold. The billboards displayed the words: “MAN IN SPACE”. This 12 year old was hooked. This is the story of a space nut. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the Earth - and I was born on the Ewell by-pass. My blast-off occurred on 14 April 1948 at the Wilmer Lodge nursing home just up the road from Ewell village, near Epsom, Surrey, England. Margaret Josephine “Marnie” Furniss gave birth to a 10.5 pounder, her third son in a row. At the time, at White Sands, New Mexico, USA, a two stage Bumper Wac - a former German V2 missile with a Corporal upper stage - was being prepared for a 79 mile altitude flight on America’s road towards exploring space. My father, John, was an ancestor of Raffe (Ralph) Furnisse (Furniss), who was born in Ewell in 1585, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1 and two years before Mary Tudor lost her head.
