  • William Carlos Williams' Indian Son(G)
    The News from That Strange, Far Away Land: William Carlos Williams’ Indian Son(g) Graziano Krätli YALE UNIVERSITY 1. In his later years, William Carlos Williams entertained a long epistolary relationship with the Indian poet Srinivas Rayaprol (1925-98), one of a handful who contributed to the modernization of Indian poetry in English in the first few decades after the independence from British rule. The two met only once or twice, but their correspondence, started in the fall of 1949, when Rayaprol was a graduate student at Stanford University, continued long after his return to India, ending only a few years before Williams’ passing. Although Williams had many correspondents in his life, most of them more important and better known literary figures than Rayaprol, the young Indian from the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh was one of the very few non-Americans and the only one from a postcolonial country with a long and glorious literary tradition of its own. More important, perhaps, their correspondence occurred in a decade – the 1950s – in which a younger generation of Indian poets writing in English was assimilating the lessons of Anglo-American Modernism while increasingly turning their attention away from Britain to America. Rayaprol, doubly advantaged by virtue of “being there” (i.e., in the Bay Area at the beginning of the San Francisco Renaissance) and by his mentoring relationship with Williams, was one of the very first to imbibe the new poetic idiom from its sources, and also one of the most persistent in trying to keep those sources alive and meaningful, to him if not to his fellow poets in India.

INTERNATIONAL METEOROLOGICAL COMMITTEE COMMISSION FOR THE STUDY OF CLOUDS International Atlas of Clouds and of States of the Sky ABRIDGED EDITION FOR THE USE OF OBSERVERS Kon. Nad. Metoor. Intl. De Bilt PARIS Office National Meteorologique. Rue de I'Universite. 176 193O In memory of our Friend A. DE QUERVAIN Member of the International Commluion for the Study of Cloudt INTRODUCTION Since 1922 the International Commission for the Study of Clouds has been engaged in studying the classification of clouds for a new International Atlas. The complete work will appear shortly, and in it will be found a history of the undertaking. This atlas is only a summary of the complete work, and is intended for the use of observers. The necessity for it was realised by the Inter- national Conference of Directors, in order to elucidate the new inter- national cloud code; this is based on the idea of the state of the sky, but observers should be able to use it without difficulty for the separate analysis of low, middle, and high clouds.

    Name: _________________________ Sketch the four stages of thunderstorm development in the boxes below. This is not an art project, but give it a decent effort. For each cloud sketch, include the arrows showing the direction of the air movement going on - both in the cloud and near the ground (include both updrafts and downdrafts). Illustrate any processes going on inside the cloud. Cumulus mediocris Cumulus congestus (prior to ice formation) Cumulonimbus calvus Cumulonimbus incus Questions: 1. In the morning, you see some cumulus humilus. A few hours later (around noon), you still see cumulus humilus, with a few cumulus mediocris here and there. Later that afternoon, you look again and the sky is still littered with cumulus humilus and mediocris. Although the clouds are clearly moving around and changing shape, they really don't look any different than they did this morning. What can you conclude from this observation? A. The air is mostly Stable / Unstable (pick one) B. Thunderstorms are Likely / Unlikely (pick one) 2. In the morning, you see some cumulus humilus. A few hours later (around noon) you see a lot of cumulus congestus and some cumulus castellanus. What can you conclude from this observations? A. The air is mostly Stable / Unstable (pick one) B. Thunderstorms are Likely / Unlikely (pick one) 3. You are watching the local news and the weather reporter says that "Unstable air is moving into New Mexico for the next few days." What kind of weather do you expect in the next few days? A. Clear skies. B. Maybe some scattered cumulus but nothing else.

It is our hope that Feminist Periodicals will serve several purposes: to keep the reader abreast of current topics in feminist literature; to increase readers' familiarity with awide spectrum offeminist periodicals; and to provide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to sUbscribe to ajournal or to obtain a particular article at her library or through interlibrary loan.

ABSTRACT Lightning is widely acknowledged as a major cause of wildland fires in Canada. On average, 250,000 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes occur in Alberta every year. Lightning-caused wildland fires in remote areas have considerably larger suppression costs and a much greater chance of escaping initial attack. Geographic and temporal covariates were paired with Reanalysis and Radiosonde observations to generate a series of 6-hour and 24-hour lightning prediction models valid from April to October. These models, based on cloud-to-ground lightning from the CLDN, were developed and validated for the province of Alberta, Canada. The ensemble forecasts produced from these models were most accurate in the Rocky Mountain and Foothills Natural Regions achieving hits rates of ~85%.
