XXII: 13 PART ONE The Mandarin's Butterfly I "-- it is better to marry than to burn." -- Saul of Tarsus Zeb: "He's a Mad Scientist and I'm his Beautiful Daughter." That's what she said: the oldest cliché in pulp fiction. She wasn't old enough to remember the pulps. The thing to do with a silly remark is to fail to hear it. I went on waltzing while taking another look down her evening formal. Nice view. Not foam rubber. She waltzed well. Today most girls who even attempt ballroom dancing drape themselves around your neck and expect you to shove them around the floor. She kept her weight on her own feet, danced close without snuggling, and knew what I was going to do a split second before I led it. A perfect partner -- as long as she didn't talk. "Well?" she persisted. My paternal grandfather -- an unsavory old reactionary; the FemLibbers would have lynched him -- used to say, "Zebadiah, the mistake we made was not in putting shoes on them or in teaching them to read -- we should never have taught them to talk!" I signaled a twirl by pressure; she floated into it and back into my arms right on the beat. I inspected her hands and the outer corners of her eyes. Yes, she really was young -- minimum eighteen (Hilda Corners never permitted legal "infants" at her parties), maximum twenty-five, first approximation twenty-two. Yet she danced like her grandmother's generation. "Well?" she repeated more firmly. This time I openly stared. "Is that cantilevering natural? Or is there an invisible bra, you being in fact the sole support of two dependents?" She glanced down, looked up and grinned. "They do stick out, don't they? Your comment is rude, crude, unrefined, and designed to change the subject." Page 2 Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html "What subject? I made a polite inquiry; you parried it with amphigory." "`Amphigory' my tired feet! I answered precisely." "`Amphigory,'" I repeated. "The operative symbols were `mad,' `scientist,' `beautiful,' and `daughter.' The first has several meanings -- the others denote opinions. Semantic content: zero." She looked thoughtful rather than angry. "Pop isn't rabid . although I did use `mad' in ambivalent mode. `Scientist' and `beautiful' each contain descriptive opinions, I stipulate. But are you in doubt as to my sex? If so, are you qualified to check my twenty-third chromosome pair? With transsexual surgery so common I assume that anything less would not satisfy you." "I prefer a field test." "On the _dance floor?_" "No, the bushes back of the pool. Yes, I'm qualified -- laboratory or field. But it was not your sex that lay in the area of opinion; that is a fact that can be established . although the gross evidence is convincing. I --" "Ninety-five centimeters isn't gross! Not for my height. One hundred seventy bare-footed, one eighty in these heels. It's just that I'm wasp-waisted for my mass -- forty-eight centimeters versus fifty-nine kilos." "And your teeth are your own and you don't have dandruff. Take it easy, Deedee; I didn't mean to shake your aplomb" -- or those twin glands that are not gross but delicious. I have an infantile bias and have known it since I was six -- six months, that is. "But the symbol `daughter' encompasses two statements, one factual -- sex -- and the other a matter of opinion even when stated by a forensic genetohematologist." "Gosh, what big words you know, Mister. I mean `Doctor'." "`Mister' is correct. On this campus it is swank to assume that everyone holds a doctorate. Even I have one, Ph.D. Do you know what that stands for?" "Doesn't everybody? I have a Ph.D., too. `Piled Higher and Deeper.'" I raised that maximum to twenty-six and assigned it as second approximation. "Phys. ed.?" "Mister Doctor, you are trying to get my goat. Won't work. I had an undergraduate double major, one being phys. ed. with teacher's credentials in case I needed a job. But my real major was math -- which I continued in graduate school." "And here I had been assuming that `Deedee' meant `Doctor of Divinity.'" "Go wash out your mouth with soap. My nickname is my initials -- Dee Tee. Or Deety. Doctor D. T. Burroughs if being formal, as I can't be `Mister' and refuse to be `Miz' or `Miss.' See here, Mister; I'm supposed to be luring you with my radiant beauty, then hooking you with my feminine charm . and not getting anywhere. Let's try another tack. Tell me what you piled higher and deeper." "Let me think. Flycasting? Or was it basketweaving? It was one of those transdisciplinary things in which the committee simply weighs the dissertation. Tell you what. I've got a copy around my digs. I'll find it Page 3 Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html and see what title the researcher who wrote it put on it." "Don't bother. The title is `Some Implications of a Six-Dimensional Non-Newtonian Continuum.' Pop wants to discuss it." I stopped waltzing. "Huh? He'd better discuss _that_ paper with the bloke who wrote it." "Nonsense; I saw you blink -- I've hooked you. Pop wants to discuss it, then offer you a job." "_`Job'!_I just slipped off the hook." "Oh, dear! Pop will be _really_ mad. Please? Please, sir!" "You said that you had used `mad' in ambivalent mode. How?" "Oh. Mad-angry because his colleagues won't listen to him. Mad-psychotic in the opinions of some colleagues. They say his papers don't make sense." "Do they make sense?" "I'm not that good a mathematician, sir. My work is usually simplifying software. Child's play compared with _n_-dimensional spaces." I wasn't required to express an opinion; the trio started _Blue Tango,_ Deety melted into my arms. You don't talk if you know tango. Deety knew. After an eternity of sensual bliss, I swung her out into position precisely on coda; she answered my bow and scrape with a deep curtsy. "Thank you, sir." "Whew! After a tango like that the couple ought to get married." "All right. I'll find our hostess and tell Pop. Five minutes? Front door, or side?" She looked serenely happy. I said, "Deety, do you mean what you appear to mean? That you intend to marry _me?_ A total stranger?" Her face remained calm but the light went out -- and her nipples went down. She answered steadily. "After that tango we are no longer strangers. I construed your statement as a proposal -- no, a willingness -- to marry me. Was I mistaken?" My mind went into emergency, reviewing the past years the way a drowning man's life is supposed to flash before his eyes (how could anyone know that?): a rainy afternoon when my chum's older sister had initiated me into the mysteries; the curious effect caused by the first time strangers had shot back at me; a twelve-month cohabitation contract that had started with a bang and had ended without a whimper; countless events which had left me determined never to marry.

  • The Paleoecology and Fire History from Crater Lake
    THE PALEOECOLOGY AND FIRE HISTORY FROM CRATER LAKE, COLORADO: THE LAST 1000 YEARS By Charles T. Mogen A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Environmental Science and Policy Northern Arizona University August 2018 Approved: R. Scott Anderson, Ph.D., Chair Nicholas P. McKay, Ph.D. Darrell S. Kaufman, Ph.D. Abstract High-resolution pollen, plant macrofossil, charcoal and pyrogenic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) records were developed from a 154 cm long sediment core collected from Crater Lake (37.39°N, 106.70°W; 3328 m asl), San Juan Mountains, Colorado. Several studies have explored Holocene paleo-vegetation and fire histories from mixed conifer and subalpine bogs and lakes in the San Juan and southern Rocky Mountains utilizing both palynological and charcoal studies, but most have been at relatively low resolution. In addition to presenting the highest resolution palynological study over the last 1000 years from the southern Rocky Mountains, this thesis also presents the first high-resolution pyrogenic PAH and charcoal paired analysis aimed at understanding both long-term fire history and the unresolved relationship between how each of these proxies depict paleofire events. Pollen assemblages, pollen ratios, and paleofire activity, indicated by charcoal and pyrogenic PAH records, were used to infer past climatic conditions. Although the ecosystem surrounding Crater Lake has remained a largely spruce (Picea) dominated forest, the proxies developed in this thesis suggest there were two distinct climate intervals between ~1035 to ~1350 CE and ~1350 to ~1850 CE in the southern Rocky Mountains, associated with the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) and Little Ice Age (LIA) respectively.

Irwin,12 R. Stabbins,1,2 D. Tirsch,3 J.L. Vago,13 T. Theodorou,1,2 M. Caballo-Perucha,5 G.R. Osinski,14 and the PanCam Team Abstract The scientific objectives of the ExoMars rover are designed to answer several key questions in the search for life on Mars. In particular, the unique subsurface drill will address some of these, such as the possible existence and stability of subsurface organics. PanCam will establish the surface geological and morphological context for the mission, working in collaboration with other context instruments. Here, we describe the PanCam scientific objectives in geology, atmospheric science, and 3-D vision. We discuss the design of PanCam, which includes a stereo pair of Wide Angle Cameras (WACs), each of which has an 11-position filter wheel and a High Resolution Camera (HRC) for high-resolution investigations of rock texture at a distance. The cameras and electronics are housed in an optical bench that provides the mechanical interface to the rover mast and a planetary protection barrier.

  • DRAFT 8/8/2013 Updates at Chapter 59 -- Three Tales of Two St
    Chapter 59 -- Three Tales of Two St. Pauls Chute's Cave Let us briefly move to St. Paul's Minnesota's neighbor, Minneapolis. When S.H. Chute excavated a 2.5-meter tunnel to provide water to his Phoenix Four Mill in 1864, the project encountered a cave and was abandoned. A bulkhead built during 1875 excavation for a tailrace, however, made the suitable for sub-urban excursions. From the Saint Paul and Minneapolis Pioneer and Tribune, August 26 of the following year, Chute's Cave -- A Boat Ride of 2,000 Feet Under Main Street. The mouth of the "Chute's Cave" is just below the springs, and the bottom of this cave is covered with about eighteen inches of water. For the moderate sum of ten cents you can take a seat in a boat with a flaming torch at the bow, and with a trusty pilot sail up under Main street a distance of about 2,000 feet, between pure white sandstone, and under a limestone arch which forms the roof. It is an inexpensive and decidedly interesting trip to take. Stereopticon view showing a flat- bottomed boat and pole. Saint Paul and Minneapolis Pioneer and Tribune, December 1, 1889, But a few years ago not a day passed that did not bring in visitors. A stream of water ran the whole length of the cave, and for the small consideration of a dime, a grim, Charon-like individual would undertake to convey, in a rude sort of a boat, all visitors, who were inclined, for the distance of a quarter or a mile or thereabouts into the gloomy passage.

Meg McCandless Leslie Byrd Rob Palmer, junior, history: Graphics I would vote for John Anderson, basically because I feel that he’s a real alternative to Kelly Rowe Carter or Kennedy. I like his ideas because Tracy Strub he’s a man who doesn’t feel the need to adopt a “liberal” or “conservative” stand­ point on a number of issues. In most issues that we face, all the real answers, the best answers, don’t come from a given political spectrum. I like Anderson very much. As for the other two candidates, Carter’s on drugs and Reagan’s a crypto-Nazi. Dave Cannon, sophomore, economics: Anderson because Carter is the most in­ competent man that could possibly be in the office in history. I think Reagan is too conservative.

    NNNOTES FORFORFOR THETHETHE TEACHEREACHEREACHER UNITS 4–7 The Ashes That Made Trees Bloom v A Japanese story — underscores values such as honesty, compassion, diligence, etc. with a hint of magical realism. The spirit of the dog is the old couple’s make-believe determination to get past personal setbacks and begin anew. v Activity II under ‘Working with Language’ is about the use of articles. The following explanatory notes may be useful. • the indefinite article ‘a’ is used before a singular countable noun when it is used for the first time. When the same item is referred to again, the definite article ‘the’ is used before it. • ‘the’ is also used before an adjective like ‘poor’ or ‘rich’ to refer to the whole class. – the poor and the weak – the rich and the prosperous – the down-trodden v Articles used in connected sentences are better understood than when used in isolated examples. Here is an additional exercise. Use ‘a’/‘an’/‘the’ appropriately. My neighbour is moving into new house next month. He is taking some furniture from old house, and is also buying some new furniture because new house is bigger than old house. 2021–22 NOTES FOR THE TEACHER/51 Chivvy v Groups of children jointly discuss the question without going through the Introduction (Ask the question or write it on the blackboard). v Spend a few minutes to find out their real responses. v Let them now read the Introduction silently.
