Mary Alice Ward
No full textIn the late 1920's, Mary Ward and her husband Ted left Western Australia and came to the Northern Territory to try their luck in the goldfields of Tennant Creek. They developed the Blue Moon mine with Mary's brother Stuart McEntyre. This proved a profitable partnership as the Blue Moon became a rich producer of gold. In 1940, the gold had begun to run out and the Wards decided to buy Banka Banka station. The cattle station and in particular Mary's food garden supplied Tennant Creek with fresh produce. During World War II the station also had a government contract to supply food to the army staging camp at Banka Banka. Mary Ward cared for the health and education of the children on the station. Mary sent and financially supported many of the station's Indigenous children to school in Alice Springs and Darwin, until a school was established on the station by the Welfare Department. For her care of Indigenous families and children, Mary was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1968.

How To: Mind The Moon
No full textHow To: Mind The Moon was a workshop that culminated in the generation of a perverted material library by Lev Bratishenko, Francelle Cane, Anastasia Kubrak, Jane Mah Hutton, Marija Marić, Amelyn Ng, Bethany Rigby, and Fred Scharmen.
"Space mining, the extraction of resources in outer space, is a project tending to become a reality. In search of rare minerals, metals, and other valuable materials, the wild imaginaries of extraction-driven growth have literally transcended the boundaries of Earth. This displacement of resource exploitation from the exhausted Earth to its ‘invisible’ hinterland—the Moon and other celestial bodies—calls for an urgent debate on the impact this shift will have on our understanding of land, resources, and commons.
How to: mind the moon offers another way of reading five lunar materials: regolith, lunar dust, solar wind, seconal sodium, and aluminium. A perversion of the format of a material sample and datasheet—technical documents commonly used in material science to describe chemical and mechanical properties of materials—the workshop outlines another kind of material library, that which goes beyond the perceived scientific neutrality of materials. Instead, it frames the political, social, environmental, and cultural conditions of materials, both as a physical matter and a form of fiction."
[Workshop Description from CCA: How To Mind The Moon]
How To: Mind The Moon was a workshop hosted by the Canadian Centre for Architecture. This project would have been impossible without research conversations with Abigail Calzada Diaz, Ian Crawford, Alice Gorman, and Rory Rowan.
How to: mind the moon was developed in collaboration with the Luxembourg Pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
The outcome of the workshop, a material library, was produced and exhibited as part of the exhibition Down to Earth of the 2023 Luxembourg Pavilion in Sale d’Armi, Arsenale di Venezia, curated by Francelle Cane and Marija Marić
Le « mot de trop » de Ban Ki-Moon : le retour de la question du Sahara occidental sur la scène internationale.
No full textAlice Corbet, Les Afriques dans le monde 6 mars 2016. Ban Ki-Moon, le Secrétaire général des Nations Unies, revient d’une visite dans les camps de réfugiés sahraouis. C’est son premier passage dans la zone. Il s’est même rendu à Bihr Lahlou, une localité de la « zone libérée » (selon la terminologie indépendantiste) par le Front Polisario. A Alger, lors d’une élocution sur la situation des réfugiés, à travers une petite phrase et par l’usage d’un seul mot, il va raviver les discussions autour..
Micrometeoroids flux on the Moon
No full textContext. The Moon has a tenuous exosphere consisting of atoms that are ejected from the surface by energetic processes, including hypervelocity micrometeoritic impacts, photon-stimulated desorption by UV radiation, and ion sputtering.
Aims: We calculate the vapor and neutral Na production rates on the Moon caused by impacts of meteoroids in the radius range of 5-100 μm. We considered a previously published dynamical model to compute the flux of meteoroids at the heliocentric distance of the Moon.
Methods: The orbital evolution of dust particles of different sizes is computed with an N-body numerical code. It includes the effects of Poynting-Robertson drag, solar wind drag, and planetary perturbations. The vapor production rate and the number of neutral atoms released in the exosphere of the Moon are computed with a well-established formulation.
Results: The result shows that the neutral Na production rate computed following our model is higher than previous estimates. This difference can be due to the dynamical evolution model that we used to compute the flux and also to the mean velocity, which is 15.3 km s-1 instead of 12.75 km s-1 as reported in literature.
Conclusions: Until now, the micrometeoritic impacts have been considered a negligible source for the release of neutral sodium atoms into the exosphere compared to other mechanisms, but according to our calculations, the contribution may be 8% of the photo-stimulated desorption at the subsolar point, becoming similar in the dawn and dusk regions and dominant on the night side
Analyzing social media in escalating crisis situations
No full textThe rapid diffusion of information and opinions through social media, such as web forums and micro-blogs, is affecting the development of crisis situations, such as the Iranian presidential election, the Egyptian protest, and the ROKS Cheonan sinking. Understanding this rapid widespread diffusion, and assessing what information is spreading, what ideas are becoming common, and who is talking about what, is critical for crisis management. This paper presents a computational system for social media assessing the flow of ideas on the web and changes in who is talking about what. This system, given raw social media data, identifies the key topics, the key paths by which topics evolve, the key individuals who contribute to the topic, and the key influence relations between the contributors. We present this system implemented with the Author-Topic model, the meta-network model, and various computational techniques to find and filter the heavy contributors and influences. We demonstrate the performance of the system, by applying it to social media data surrounding the ROKS Cheonan sinking. We describe the results of assessing the initial and changing perceptions of the event using this system

We Reach the Moon. Title page inscribed by the author.
No full textOn 20 July 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to land on the moon. The achievement inspired a host of products and memorabilia. On display from the publishing collection of Seymour Lawrence is both the German and American editions of the children’s 1969 picture book Journey to the Moon by artist Erich Fuchs who depicts the eight-day voyage with cubist modernism. The author of We Reach the Moon was the New York Times science reporter, and he inscribed his paperback to Mississippi writer Willie Morris and family.https://egrove.olemiss.edu/space_exhibit_2020/1012/thumbnail.jp
