Jonathan Belcher: Colonial Governor
No full textAs early as the eighteenth century, New England\u27s ministers were decrying public morality. Evangelical leaders such as Jonathan Edwards called for rulers to become spiritual as well as political leaders who would renew the people\u27s covenant with God. The prosperous merchant Jonathan Belcher (1682-1757) self-consciously strove to become such a leader, an American Nehemiah. As governor of three royal colonies and early patron of the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University), Belcher became an important but controversial figure in colonial America.
In this first biography of the colonial governor, Michael C. Batinski depicts a man unusually riddled with contradictions. While governor of Massachusetts, Belcher deftly maneuvered longstanding rivals toward a political settlement; yet as chief executive of New Hampshire, he plunged into bitter factional disputes that destroyed his administration. The quintessential Puritan, Belcher learned to thrive in London\u27s cosmopolitan world and in the whiggish realm of the marketplace. He was at once the courtier and the country patriot.
An insightful blend of social and political history, this biography demands that Belcher be recognized as the embodiment of the Nehemiah, perhaps as important in his own realm as Cotton Mather was in religious circles. Grappling with the contradictions of Belcher\u27s actions, the author explains much about the complexities of the world in which Belcher lived and wielded influence.
Michael C. Batinski is professor emeritus of history at Southern Illinois University.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_united_states_history/1044/thumbnail.jp

A Conversation with Lauren Griffith and Jonathan Marion: Apprenticeship Pilgrimage
No full textIn this installment of Lexington Books\u27 Anthropology of Tourism: Heritage, Mobility and Society Author Conversations, series editor Michael A. Di Giovine talks to anthropologists Lauren Miller Griffith, a practitioner of capoeira; and Jonathan Marion, a practitioner of competitive ballroom dance, on their book, Apprenticeship Pilgrimage. Accessibly written with rich case studies and ground-breaking concepts, Apprenticeship Pilgrimage extends the tourism and pilgrimage literature. This lively discussion touches on the slippery ideas of pilgrimage, tourism and authenticity; the concepts of communitas and concursus , and about the quest for practitioners of embodied art forms to gain knowledge, prestige, and legitimacy

Oral history of Michael Bronski
No full textMichael Bronski is an independent scholar, journalist, and writer who has been involved in social justice movements since the 1960s. He has been active in gay liberation as a political organizer, writer, editor, publisher and theorist since 1969. He is the author of numerous books.
His book, A Queer History of the United States, won the 2011 Lambda Literary Award for Best Non-Fiction, as well as the 2011 American Library Association Stonewall Israel Fishman Award for Best Non-Fiction. You Can Tell Just By Looking: And 20 Other Myths about LGBT Life and People (coauthored with Ann Pellegrini and Michael Amico) and Considering Hate: Violence, Goodness, and Justice in American Culture and Politics (coauthored with Kay Whitlock) were both nominated for Lambda Literary awards.
In 1999, he won the Martin Duberman Fellowship from the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies at City University of New York, and the prestigious Stonewall Award from the Anderson Foundation that same year. In 2017, he was awarded the Bill Whitehead Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Publishing Triangle. Past recipients include Audre Lorde, Adrienne Rich, Martin Duberman, Samuel R.

Massey, J. M. O., Ganapathisubramani, B., & Weymouth, G. D. (2023). A systematic investigation into the effect of roughness on self-propelled swimming plates. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 971, [A39]. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2023.703
The data focuses on the effect of roughness on self-propelled swimming plates. The author has provided the data, and python scripts for plotting the majority of the graphs in the above publication. However, the flow fields are too large, so the lotus.f90 files are available so that the simulations can by run; this requires access to the solver and access can be made available upon request.
The data was generated, for the most part by our in-house LES solver 'Lotus'.
Software- or Instrument-specific information needed to interpret the data, including software and hardware version numbers: AMD nodes on the HPC architecture 'IRIDIS 5' was used to run the simulations.
The python files in ./analysis provide the methods for manipulation, and plotting of the data relating to the publication. The fort.9 files contain the forces, the .npy files contain checkpoints in the software to avoid expensive analysis techniques from repeating themselves (e.g. reading in flow field data). The vti, vtr, pvti, pvtr file extension denotes flow field data in paraview readable form, this dataset contains a very small fraction of that analysed, and more is available upon request.

Does interpupillary distance (IPD) relate to immediate cybersickness?
No full textWidespread adoption of virtual reality (VR) will likely be limited bythe common occurrence of cybersickness. Cybersickness suscepti-bility varies across individuals, and previous research reported thatinterpupillary distance (IPD) may be a factor. However, that workemphasized cybersickness recovery rather than cybersickness imme-diately after exposure. The current study (N=178) examined if themismatch between the user’s IPD and the VR headset’s IPD settingspredicts immediate cybersickness. Multiple linear regression indi-cated that gender and prior sickness due to screens were significantpredictors of immediate cybersickness. However, no relationshipbetween IPD mismatch and immediate cybersickness was observed.This preprint is published as Kelly, Jonathan, Taylor Doty, Michael Dorneich, and Stephen B.
