Dynamics and Stability of Resonant Rings in Galaxies B
Astronomy Reports, Vol. 44, No. 5, 2000, pp. 279–285. Translated from Astronomicheskiœ Zhurnal, Vol. 77, No. 5, 2000, pp. 323–330. Original Russian Text Copyright © 2000 by Kondrat’ev. 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.

Steve Quiriconi and Ted Bennett are the members and many other volunteers chairs of these two committees. At its January 2017 have been planning for the season meeting, the Board approved a budget of up to $5,000 ahead. Here is an update on what’s for engineering and permitting. Even if construction in the works: does not move forward this year, the engineering and permitting work will be useful in the future. First and foremost, I am happy to announce that in late December the Long-Range Planning Committee and the Meanwhile, dredging of Jackson Creek is underway and Flag Officers concluded the search process and hired expected to conclude in several months, depending on a new General Manager.

Show Boat” (1932) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Todd Decker (Guest Post)*
“Show Boat” (1932) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Todd Decker (guest post)* Helen Morgan Original album package Paul Robeson Before the long-playing record (or LP) made original cast albums a key component of the Broadway musical, record companies recognized the potential of turning a Broadway score into a unified experience for home listeners. The 1927 musical “Show Boat” was the first to receive this treatment. In 1932, the year of “Show Boat’s” first Broadway revival, the Brunswick label released a set of four specially-recorded 78s of songs from the show. The discs were bound in a handsome album featuring cover art taken from the sheet music for the Broadway show which had, in turn, been derived from the cover of Edna Ferber’s 1926 novel. The lavish set’s liner notes described the collection as an “album of music from one of the most tuneful and popular operettas of the modern day.” Conducted by Victor Young and using custom orchestral arrangements—not those played by the pit orchestra in the theater—the Brunswick set features two singing stars who shaped “Show Boat” both in the minds of its creators and for the show’s enthusiastic early audiences: Paul Robeson and Helen Morgan. Music critics praised the unity of Young’s collection, “obviously recorded as a unit and with great care.” And even though listening to all eight sides would have been a clunky affair at the time—involving much changing and flipping of discs—Young clearly imagined the set as a whole. The inclusion of sides titled “Overture” and “’Show Boat’ Finale” suggest a partial playing order. -

Rhode Island's Shellfish Heritage
RHODE ISLAND’S SHELLFISH HERITAGE RHODE ISLAND’S SHELLFISH HERITAGE An Ecological History The shellfish in Narragansett Bay and Rhode Island’s salt ponds have pro- vided humans with sustenance for over 2,000 years. Over time, shellfi sh have gained cultural significance, with their harvest becoming a family tradition and their shells ofered as tokens of appreciation and represent- ed as works of art. This book delves into the history of Rhode Island’s iconic oysters, qua- hogs, and all the well-known and lesser-known species in between.

Building Bridges Across Financial Communities
213495 Islamic cover_dc_Layout 1 3/13/12 5:27 PM Page 1 t has long been said that Islamic Finance Islamic Finance needs its own innovative blueprints to Project follow the pulse of the industry. I BUILDING BRIDGES FINANCIAL ACROSS COMMUNITIES Discussions on Islamic Finance as an alternative to conventional finance or a competitor have BUILDING BRIDGES ACROSS reached a new milestone: recognition of their FINANCIAL COMMUNITIES cooperation. As the field of Islamic Finance expands and diversifies, so does its ability to cross new venues and cultivate partnerships. The Global Financial Crisis, Social Responsibility, and The Ninth Harvard University Forum, enti- tled “Building Bridges Across Financial Faith-Based Finance Communities,” sought to explore these opportunities: What lessons on social respon- sibility can organizations find in Islamic Finance and other faith traditions? What can conventional banks and Islamic Finance insti- tutions learn from each other, particularly after the financial crisis? This volume, a selection of 11 papers presented S. Nazim Ali at the Ninth Forum sponsored by the Islamic Editor Finance Project at Harvard Law School, inves- tigates these questions through original research on best practices across and between industries and faith traditions. Essays consider diverse topics ranging from the influence of religion on corporate social responsibility and individual financial choices to the parameters of hedging and portfolio diversification. As our writers suggest, there is reason to be optimistic about the future -

The Establishment of the Head Port of Gloucester, 1565-1584 (Mphil
The Establishment of the Head Port of Gloucester, 1565-1584 Alexander Higgins A thesis submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts, Department of Historical Studies, November 2012. 24,884 words. Abstract After a fifteen-year campaign, Gloucester became an independent head port in 1580. This effectively ended Bristol’s long-standing jurisdiction over the Gloucestershire reaches of the River Severn and resulted in the loss of the greater part of Bristol’s historic port. This dissertation explores Bristol’s objections to this change and examines the prosecution of their complaints through the equity side of the Exchequer court. Primarily, this study focuses upon two commissions created by the Crown to review the case. The interrogatories and depositions produced by these commissions are used to explore the nature of this dispute, the motivation behind Bristol’s objections and why Gloucester ultimately retained its head port status. The first chapter focuses upon the practical implementation of the commissions. Rather than relying upon the legal records alone, this study uses letters, accounts and reports produced by the two parties to explore the workings of a commission. This approach reveals the extent of Bristol and Gloucester’s attempts to manipulate proceedings to their own advantage. These findings have significant implications on the impartiality of Tudor legal process and the reliability of the Exchequer records. The second chapter examines the findings of the two commissions to assess the nature and strength of Bristol’s arguments. It is shown that many of these arguments were unsubstantiated. -
