Interview with J. Wade and Fern Duncan, 1989.
No full textPampa, Texas
One of the last areas of Texas to be settled, the northern Panhandle area that includes Pampa was shaped by the land speculator-driven development of the early 1900s and the wide open oil boom of the mid 1920s. J. Wade and Fern Duncan, longtime Pampa merchants, recall the oil- and agriculture-driven economy that followed the first plows that broke the prairie

“Our Ginny”: Virginia Wade, the 1977 Wimbledon championships and the gendering of national identity
No full textWithin sport media, it is customary for sportsmen rather than sportswomen to be accorded the privileges and responsibilities of competing not just for the nation but also on behalf of it. However, under certain circumstances, it is apparent that the typically gendered media conventions may shift to accommodate nationally important sportswomen. This study concerns the British tennis player Virginia Wade, and via a textual analysis, the print-media discourse surrounding her 1977 Wimbledon triumph is analyzed. It is argued that the wider sociohistorical and personal contexts of her victory helped facilitate a shift, whereby her national identity rather than her gender becoming the primary media frame. Not only was Wade’s win considered significant amidst the mid-1970s economic downturn in Britain, it also coincided with Wimbledon’s centenary and a visit by the Queen during jubilee year. Consequently, her victory was imbued with national symbolism through displays of “banal nationalism.” Coupled with Wimbledon’s “invented traditions,” Wade was represented as embodying the British “imagined community” through her play and approach. This study’s findings reassert the importance of examining the intersections of gender and national identity in sport media and urges for more research that foregrounds historical context as a key factor for female athlete national transcendence.Peer reviewedPublished
A phylogeny of Cenozoic macroperforate planktonic foraminifera from fossil data
No full textWe present a complete phylogeny of macroperforate planktonic foraminifer species of the Cenozoic Era (?65 million years ago to present). The phylogeny is developed from a large body of palaeontological work that details the evolutionary relationships and stratigraphic (time) distributions of species-level taxa identified from morphology (‘morphospecies’). Morphospecies are assigned to morphogroups and ecogroups depending on test morphology and inferred habitat, respectively. Because gradual evolution is well documented in this clade, we have identified many instances of morphospecies intergrading over time, allowing us to eliminate ‘pseudospeciation’ and ‘pseudoextinction’ from the record and thereby permit the construction of a more natural phylogeny based on inferred biological lineages. Each cladogenetic event is determined as either budding or bifurcating depending on the pattern of morphological change at the time of branching. This lineage phylogeny provides palaeontologically calibrated ages for each divergence that are entirely independent of molecular data. The tree provides a model system for macroevolutionary studies in the fossil record addressing questions of speciation, extinction, and rates and patterns of evolution
Louis T. Moore and James Edward Lee Wade
No full textLouis T. Moore (on right) and J. E. L. Wade, possibly at the dedication of the memorial to the men from the city and county who fought in WWI and WWII at Greenfield Lake.
James E. L. Wade (1889-1980), consummate Wilmington politician and Louis Toomer Moore(1885-1961), tireless promoter of Wilmington and New Hanover County. J.E.L. "Hi Buddy" Wade served the city and state government for over 50 years.
Louis T. Moore was the Executive Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce from 1921 through 1941 and as such took over nine hundred photographs of New Hanover County and the vicinity. He also was the author of "Stories Old and New of the Cape Fear Region", a very popular local history book. It was due to Mr. Moore's efforts that over twenty North Carolina Historical Highway Markers were placed in our area. He was instrumental in leading the effort to deepen the Cape Fear Channel and improve the Port of Wilmington, a booster of the intra-coastal waterway system, and did much to preserve landmarks and historic sites in the area. At his death Mr. Moore was called the area's most outstanding historian. His family generously donated his photograph collection to the New Hanover County library after he died
Spending flexibility and safe withdrawal rates
Get PDFShortfall risk retirement income analyses offer little insight into how much risk is optimal, and how risk tolerance affects retirement income decisions. This study models retirement income risk in a manner consistent with risk tolerance in portfolio selection in order to estimate optimal asset allocations and withdrawal rates for retirees with different risk attitudes. We find that the 4 percent retirement withdrawal rate strategy may only be appropriate for risk averse clients with moderate guaranteed income sources. The ability to accept greater shortfall probabilities means that risk tolerant investors will prefer a higher withdrawal rate and a riskier retirement portfolio. A risk tolerant client may prefer a withdrawal rate of between 5 and 7 percent with a guaranteed income of 60,000 instead of $20,000.retirement planning; utility maximization; retirement spending goals; safe withdrawal rates
Effective rewarming of hypothermic piglets using 915-MHz microwaves
No full textA prototype 915-MHz microwave unit was designed to rewarm hypothermic piglets. Initial tests indicate that it is possible to rewarm piglets successfully from deep stages of hypothermia using 915-MHz microwaves. Rewarming did not cause any significant physiological changes in blood variables, nor did the animals show any visible change while their subsequent behaviour appeared normal.PT: J; CR: 1981, ENV HLTH CRITERIA 1985, SAS STATTM GUIDE PER 1987, FARM ANIMAL WELFARE BATE L, 1986, 36TH CAN S AN SCI AN BRAITHWAITE LA, 1989, CANADIAN J ANIMAL SC, V69, P1129 BRAITHWAITE LA, 1990, CAN J ANIM SCI, V70, P1167 BRAITHWAITE LA, 1991, POULTRY SCI, V70, P509 CURTIS SE, 1983, ENV MANAGEMENT ANIMA, P410 EDWARDS BL, 1972, VET B, V42, P249 JOHNSON CC, 1972, P IEEE, V60, P692 OLSEN RG, 1987, BIOELECTROMAGNETICS, V8, P183; NR: 11; TC: 1; J9: CAN J ANIM SCI; PG: 4; GA: HT616Source type: Electronic(1
