We are yet unable to report any strong upward trend of business in our district. The first glance at our visitor figures might make one think we were having a much heavior season, but detailed study does not corroborate that impression. Monuments where we keep our closest check on visitors show little change from past years. This is no disappoint­ ment to us, for wo would be very glad to have the visitor curve at several of our monuments flatten out and remain where it is for some years to conic instead of going on upward to unwieldy numbers and to the destruction of some of our ruins. In the matter of visitors, we hope to begin an experiment before long at Betatakin Ruin in Navajo National Monument of excluding visitors from the ruin. Wo already have the approval of our own Service and the matter is before the Secretary of the Interior for approval at the present time. I am interested in and rather dreading the visitor re­ action to this move but think it is very much worth while to make the experiment. When a visitor has driven that bad road and walked down that poor trail and is then told he cannot climb around over the ruins, we are likely to have a bad half-hour. The setting, however, lends it­ self admirably to this exploitation of the ruin and I think the experi­ ment should be made even though it may result in failure. We will take the visitor within the cave arch and there give him a comfortable soat, furnish him with glasses, plans, photographs, etc., and talk over the ruin to his heart's content, but he must not go up among the walls. It is a magnificent setting and I believe the trip can be made very impressive. Our outline of work for the new fiscal year was considerably delayed, but arrived about the twentieth of the month and we now know where we stand. The new ranger position at Chiricahua was filled for the remainder of the summer by G. Gilbert Philp. This gives us our maximum force for the year and we will begin dropping men by the end of August. Our CCC campss and side camps continued to operate at Bandelier, Chiricahua, Chaco Canyon, and Casa Grande during the month. Programs were made up and sent in for the new period. The new camp at Flagstaff, NM-5-A, did not receive its men this month. The men are now promised by August 2 and soon after that date we hope to be able to go to work at Walnut Canyon. We enjoyed a visit from Mr, Demaray of the Washington Office during the month. We met him at Phoenix and showed him Casa Grande, Saguaro, Tumacacori,•Chiricahua, Tonto, Montezuma Castle, the proposed Tuzigoot, Walnut Canyon, Sunset Crater, and Wupatki National Monuments and have hopes of adding a couple of others before he gets out of the district. SOUTHWESTERN MONUMENTS 1 MONTHLY REPORT FOR JULY, 1938. OPENING (CONT.) We want to take this opportunity tc congratulate you on having served sm Director of the Service for five years and to renew our pledge of loyalty to you as long as you hold the office. May the first five years prove a good beginning for the real job ahead of yout They have been five rather hectic years, as we look back upon them, aitf five hard years to live through. Things sometimes happened in an up­ side-down fashionj we have grown too fast in some ways and have lagged along in others; ve need to assemble, coordinate, and digest the things we have absjrbebso d in the grand rush which has been upon us. But we are still with yyou, your menme.i from noda to hock, and we will back you with our money, cheik'alk,, oror aiarble? es, just as we saic.w TO would five years ago. As we loolook down thhee months ahead, we grow uneasy at the prospect of the break ofo? another big Public Works program with its attendant overtime work and strft .rain upon ou: personnel, but we have come through all right thus far andfid areare r..-eady bo'start again when you say the word. Visitotorr curves arree flattening out, it appears, at several of our monuments wh••.hich have trebeenu worrying us with a rising curve and if this will hold fofor a few yecrs, wo may get caught up with our protection and be able tc control some of our worst problems. Our museum's' program has -advanced slowly during t'ther 4month month, some work having been don;e, at Bandjlioe r and Tumacacori and a prrnary plan completed by our office foorr White Sands* This latter planpirn will have to be mimeo­ graphed and 0 ircue dated for fufurther studyy andan-3 approvalsapprovals.

  • Discovering the Lost Race Story: Writing Science Fiction, Writing Temporality
    Discovering the Lost Race Story: Writing Science Fiction, Writing Temporality This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia 2008 Karen Peta Hall Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Discipline of English and Cultural Studies School of Social and Cultural Studies ii Abstract Genres are constituted, implicitly and explicitly, through their construction of the past. Genres continually reconstitute themselves, as authors, producers and, most importantly, readers situate texts in relation to one another; each text implies a reader who will locate the text on a spectrum of previously developed generic characteristics. Though science fiction appears to be a genre concerned with the future, I argue that the persistent presence of lost race stories – where the contemporary world and groups of people thought to exist only in the past intersect – in science fiction demonstrates that the past is crucial in the operation of the genre. By tracing the origins and evolution of the lost race story from late nineteenth-century novels through the early twentieth-century American pulp science fiction magazines to novel-length narratives, and narrative series, at the end of the twentieth century, this thesis shows how the consistent presence, and varied uses, of lost race stories in science fiction complicates previous critical narratives of the history and definitions of science fiction. In examining the implicit and explicit aspects of temporality and genre, this thesis works through close readings of exemplar texts as well as historicist, structural and theoretically informed readings. It focuses particularly on women writers, thus extending previous accounts of women’s participation in science fiction and demonstrating that gender inflects constructions of authority, genre and temporality.

  • Chemical Profile of Sotol Analyzed by Solid Phase Microextraction-Gas Chromatography
    American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences 5 (3): 261-268, 2010 ISSN 1557-4989 © 2010 Science Publications Chemical Profile of Sotol Analyzed by Solid Phase Microextraction-Gas Chromatography Heliodoro de la Garza, Juan Buenrostro, María Reyes-Vega, Raúl Rodríguez, Dolores G. Martinez and Cristobal N. Aguilar Department of Food Science and Technology, School of Chemistry, Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila, Blvd., Venustiano Carranza Col. República 25280, Saltillo Coahuila, México Abstract: Problem statement: Sotol is a distilled spirit made from Dasylirion spp., a plant (called sotol) that grows in the wilds of Northern Mexico and west Texas and New Mexico. This alcoholic beverage is produced in a similar process to the more common artisanal tequila and mescal. Sotol is also now beginning to achieve international recognition; however there are few commercial examples available, which are elaborated with poor quality and sensorial attributes un-defined. Approach: This is the first study which reported a chemical characterization of the main components of six commercial sotols, establishing the correlations among the samples and determining the similitude levels. Solid Phase Microextraction-Gas Chromatography (SPME-GC) was used to analyze the chemical compounds present in the sotols (Hacienda TM , Mesteno TM , Coyamito, Los Cuates, un-aged Alacrán and rested Alacran). Results: From data obtained of the analysis of main components, a total of 25 chemical compounds were found to be related with six physicochemical characteristics of sotol, explaining 66.1% of the total variance. Rested Alacran and un-aged Alacran sotols were related by the high content of propionic acid, undecanoic acid, acetic acid, buthanol and furfural and by the low contents of phenyl ethanol, decanoic acid and ethyl dodecanoic acid.

I quickly responded with a request to be considered as an attendee because while I had travelled to the park a couple of times, I had never been in the spring, and I had never been to the northern range. My initial justification for going was to experience, yet again, the beauty and diversity of ecosystems and wildlife unique to YNP. I wish I could truthfully write that I had the foresight to envision what would happen over the next year as a result of this trip, but that isn’t the case. I’m still not exactly sure how the ADP’s seminar evolved into a large JSU group returning in 2019 with the potential for subsequent groups to follow, and I have to fight myself not to overly romanticize my experiences.
