  • Proto-Micronesian Reconstructions—1
    Proto-Micronesian Reconstructions—1 Byron W. Bender, Ward H. Goodenough, Frederick H. Jackson, Jeffrey C. Marck, Kenneth L. Rehg, Ho-min Sohn, Stephen Trussel, and Judith W. Wang1 university of hawai‘i and university of pennsylvania Part 1 presents some 980 reconstructions for Proto-Micronesian, Proto–Central Micronesian, and Proto–Western Micronesian. Part 2 (to appear in volume 42 [2]) gives reconstructions for two additional subgroups within Proto-Micronesian: Proto-Pohnpeic and Proto-Chuukic, and their immediate ancestor, Proto– Pohnpeic-Chuukic. A handful of putative loans are also identi²ed, and a single English ²nder list is provided for all of the reconstructions. INTRODUCTION. Lexical data for a number of Micronesian languages began to be collected systematically in the mid-1960s as part of the development of language lessons for the U.S. Peace Corps and in connection with other Micronesian language projects that followed at the University of Hawai‘i. These data were stored on a main- frame computer using programs then being developed (Hsu and Peters 1984), and eventually dictionaries were published for a number of the languages included in this study (Elbert 1972, Abo et al. 1976, Lee 1976, Sohn and Tawerilmang 1976, Harrison and Albert 1977, Jensen 1977, Rehg and Sohl 1979, Goodenough and Sugita 1980, Jackson and Mark 1991). Comparative work using these data began with Marck 1977, focusing on the group of languages referred to as Nuclear Micronesian. In the next several years, the authors of the current study put the initial data on computer and sub- stantially added to them by directly eliciting information from speakers of Microne- sian languages who were students in the Bilingual Education Project for Micronesia at the University of Hawai‘i.

NASA Night Sky Network Ten years later Rosetta has now arrived at Comet 67P/Churyumov- Gerasimenko and just successfully made orbit today, 2014 August 6! Unfortunately, global events have foreshadowed this memorable event and news media have largely ignored this impressive space mission. AAC Member photo: The Rosetta comet mission may be the beginning of a story that will tell more about us -- both about our origins and evolution. (Hence, its name "rosetta" for the black basalt stone with inscriptions giving the first clues to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics.) Pictures received over past weeks are remarkable with the latest in the past 24 hours showing awesome and incredible detail including views that show the comet is a connected binary object rotating as a unit in 12 hours.

You may have noticed that this newsletter is showing up a little bit later than usual, and it’s for good reason: release of the newsletter will now happen after the monthly business meeting so that we can have a chance to keep everybody up to date on the latest information. Sometimes, this will mean the newsletter shows up a couple of days late. But, the upshot is that you’ll now be able to see what we discussed at the recent business meeting and have time to digest it before our general meeting in case you want to give some feedback. Now that we’re on the new format, business meetings (and the oft neglected Light Pollution Committee Meeting), are going to start being open to all members of the club again by simply joining up in the respective chat rooms the Wednesday before the first Monday of the month—which I encourage people to do, especially if you have some ideas you want to see the club put into action.

  • Star Maps, Earth Codes: an Interdisciplinary Exploration of Art and Astronomy
    STAR MAPS, EARTH CODES: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY EXPLORATION OF ART AND ASTRONOMY By Danni Wei A capstone project submitted for Graduation with University Honors May 5, 2016 University Honors University of California, Riverside APPROVED _______________________________ Dr. Gabriela Canalizo Co-advisor, Dr. Mario De Leo Winkler Department of Physics and Astronomy _______________________________ Asher Hartman Department of Art ________________________________ Dr. Richard Cardullo, Howard H Hays Chair and Faculty Director, University Honors Associate Vice Provost, Undergraduate Education Abstract: The objective of this research-based creative activity is to formulate an experimental play that intersects fields of astronomy and art. My goal, in terms of audience reaction, is to provide: 1. A Sense of Wonder (emotional impact) 2. Opportunity for Involvement (physical impact) and 3. Information (intellectual impact) for my audience. The play acts as a cross-cultural exploratory vehicle, utilized to make connections with the Universe by understanding how sky lore from various ancient civilizations reflect their ways of life. The main inquiry is whether or not I am able to appropriate archaeoastronomical data to create a viable, wondrous artwork for the modern day person to connect with, while conveying scientific information at the same time. By researching peer-reviewed sources in both archaeoastronomy and art, I was able to come across an intersection—a few subjects of interest unbounded by cultures, religions, time, locations, and fields of study. The end result is the birth of a mixed media theatrical experience that envelops the singular Spectator with sky lore of the Orion constellation told across civilizations, animated by abstract puppets, lights, and sounds. The puppet theatre structure, which was stationed at UC Riverside's Phyllis Gill Gallery, was open by appointment only from December 5th to December 9th of 2015.

  • Extrasolar Planets and Their Host Stars
    Kaspar von Braun & Tabetha S. Boyajian Extrasolar Planets and Their Host Stars July 25, 2017 arXiv:1707.07405v1 [astro-ph.EP] 24 Jul 2017 Springer Preface In astronomy or indeed any collaborative environment, it pays to figure out with whom one can work well. From existing projects or simply conversations, research ideas appear, are developed, take shape, sometimes take a detour into some un- expected directions, often need to be refocused, are sometimes divided up and/or distributed among collaborators, and are (hopefully) published. After a number of these cycles repeat, something bigger may be born, all of which one then tries to simultaneously fit into one’s head for what feels like a challenging amount of time. That was certainly the case a long time ago when writing a PhD dissertation. Since then, there have been postdoctoral fellowships and appointments, permanent and adjunct positions, and former, current, and future collaborators. And yet, con- versations spawn research ideas, which take many different turns and may divide up into a multitude of approaches or related or perhaps unrelated subjects. Again, one had better figure out with whom one likes to work. And again, in the process of writing this Brief, one needs create something bigger by focusing the relevant pieces of work into one (hopefully) coherent manuscript. It is an honor, a privi- lege, an amazing experience, and simply a lot of fun to be and have been working with all the people who have had an influence on our work and thereby on this book. To quote the late and great Jim Croce: ”If you dig it, do it.

  • 5 Social Relations and Kin Ties
    5 Social Relations and Kin Ties Kinship classifications and relations were the cornerstone of Aboriginal societies: they formed the basis of social structure. Aboriginal people formally and systematically ordered their world, terrestrial and celes- tial, natural as well as cultural, into a number of discrete divisions or categories (‘skins’ in Aboriginal English), that regulated marriage as well as other activities. These categories were essentially social summa- ries of kinship relations. In outline, five kinds of groupings occurred in Aboriginal societies. They are known to anthropologists as matrimoieties, patrimoieties, sec- tions, semimoieties and subsections, dividing the Aboriginal cosmos into two, four, or eight divisions. No Aboriginal society is known to have had more than four (of the possible five) types of groupings. Matrimoieties and patrimoieties, the primary categories, divided the cosmos in two. Marriage arrangements were subject to these divisions, requiring that a man take his wife from the category to which he did not belong and vice versa. In other words, men and women of the same moiety (be it of patri- or matrilineal descent) could not marry. The par- ticular moiety into which a child was born was determined by descent principles: patrimoiety referring to the father’s group and matrimoiety referring to the mother’s group. Some societies for example, were bisected by matrimoieties and further divided by patrimoieties, cross-cutting the society into four equivalent segments, which then resembled the four categories of a section system. Categories ordered people, so that every man, woman and child belonged to one kind of category, and only to one. A person’s category did not change, unlike kin relations, whose categories were rel- ative for any individual; it was an absolute division of the cosmos.
