Retelling racialized violence, remaking white innocence: the politics of interlocking oppressions in transgender day of remembrance
No full textTransgender Day of Remembrance has become a significant political event among those resisting violence against gender-variant persons. Commemorated in more than 250 locations worldwide, this day honors individuals who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. However, by focusing on transphobia as the definitive cause of violence, this ritual potentially obscures the ways in which hierarchies of race, class, and sexuality constitute such acts. Taking the Transgender Day of Remembrance/Remembering Our Dead project as a case study for considering the politics of memorialization, as well as tracing the narrative history of the Fred F. C. Martinez murder case in Colorado, the author argues that deracialized accounts of violence produce seemingly innocent White witnesses who can consume these spectacles of domination without confronting their own complicity in such acts. The author suggests that remembrance practices require critical rethinking if we are to confront violence in more effective ways.

When is a prediction anthropic? Fred Hoyle and the 7.65 MeV carbon resonance
No full textThe case of Fred Hoyle’s prediction of a resonance state in carbon-12, unknown in 1953 when it was predicted, is often mentioned as an example of anthropic prediction. An investigation of the historical circumstances of the prediction and its subsequent experimental confirmation shows that Hoyle and his contemporaries did not associate the level in the carbon nucleus with life at all. Only in the 1980s, after the emergence of the anthropic principle, did it become common to see Hoyle’s prediction as anthropically significant. At about the same time mythical accounts of the prediction and its history began to abound. Not only has the anthropic myth no basis in historical fact, it is also doubtful if the excited levels in carbon-12 and other atomic nuclei can be used as an argument for the predictive power of the anthropic principle, such as has been done by several physicists and philosophers
Archaeological Investigations at the Cook-Thompson Site
No full textIn 1975, prehistoric ceramics dating to the Late Archaic, Woodland and Mississippian Periods were found in a garden at 807 Albany Street in urban Brunswick, Georgia. The city of Brunswick lies on the southern end of an old relic Pleistocene barrier island and today salt marshes are on its eastern, southern and western sides. After a lull of 38 years, this site was formally surveyed in May 2008. Shovel testing delineated the approximate site boundaries. Shovel testing was followed with the excavation of two block units. Recovered in these units was a large in situ deposit of late Woodland Kelvin Complicated Stamped sherds from the same vessel. The distribution of these sherds suggested that, other than a downward displacement, which was probably caused by bioturbation, the sherds had suffered little disturbance since their deposition. The only lithic artifact found was a tiny tertiary flake. All of the artifacts from the site were associated with an area of yellowish brown to brownish yellow, well-drained Cainhoy soil. No other site in the coastal region has been described as being so closely associated with a particular soil type. Since all three diverse cultures left behind similar artifacts and restricted their activities so closely to a localized deposit of Cainhoy soil, it is likely that they utilized the site in a similar way. The data acquired was evaluated in regard to possible hunting and mast collecting activities. The latter seems to best explain the artifacts found and their association with the dry, loose Cainhoy soil. Based on the common importance of acorns to Late Archaic, Woodland and Mississippian cultures and the modern prolific stands of live oak on the southern Brunswick peninsula, the Cook-Thompson site has been interpreted as a possible acorn processing location. Two shell artifacts were found that may have resulted from the on-site manufacture of shell ornaments
[Letter] 1935 October 17, Pitcairn Island, [to] Henry C. Hoffman / Fred M. Christian.
No full textAutograph letter, signed.Christian writes from Pitcairn island to thank Hoffman for sending the $2, and to request that he sell more of the painted, pressed leaves which he encloses along with two baskets his wife made for Hoffman. Christian goes on to answer Hoffman\u27s questions about the size, dominion, population (210), language (English and Tahitian), schooling, climate, and grave customs on Pitcairn Island. He remarks that only one grave of the Bounty mutineers was ever marked, that being John Adams, for whom the British government sent over a tombstone. Christian also observes that they currently have nine visitors "none of them want to leave," and tells Hoffman about their housing, livestock, religion, and crops. Pitcairn Island was originally settled by mutineers of the HMS _Bounty_ led by Fletcher Christian (played in the movie versions by Clark Gable and Errol Flynn); they revolted in April 1784 against the alleged cruelties of Captain William Bligh, intermarried with Tahitian women, and then settled with their families on Pitcairn. John Adams was the only one of the original mutineers left alive in 1808 when an American ship _Topaz_ investigated the island. He was not able to convincingly relate the fates of the other mutineers, but the author of this letter, Fred Christian, is probably an original descendant of Fletcher

On the fundamental solutions-based inversion of Laplace matrices
No full textThe discretisation of the Laplacian results into the well-known Laplace matrix. In the case of a one dimensional problem, an explicit formula for its inverse is derived on the basis of fundamental solutions (Green's functions) for general boundary conditions. For a linear reaction-diffusion equation, approximations of the inverse are given. (c) 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
