Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America letter to Senator Miles Poindexter regarding the Sterling Graham Peacetime Sedition Bill, Feburary 18, 1920
No full textThe Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America, located in Spokane, Washington, write to Washington State Senator Miles Poindexter to express their objection to the Sterling Graham Peacetime Sedition Bill. They are concerned that the bill "is so filled with hidden meanings" that it can be easily misconstrued to imprison certain victims. They also believe that the bill counteracts the work of the founding fathers of America and will take away the rights granted to American citizens.Submitted in January of 1920, the Sterling-Graham Peacetime Sedition Bill was passed into a climate of hysteria due to the Red Scare of 1919-20. In the wake of the Bolshevik Revolution, Americans feared that some radicalized citizens would attempt to enforce Bolshevik policies in America. The government became hyperaware of sedition, any act conducted that encourages a people to disobey its authority. The Sterling-Graham Peacetime Sedition Bill sought to enact a fine, imprisonment, or both, for any persons found guilty of committing a seditious act. The Bill ultimately never passed the Senate, but is representative of the fear which encompassed this time in America.
Miles Poindexter was a Republican Senator from Washington State from 1911-1923. He was known for his intense nationalism, support for the Sedition Act, and anti-anarchist/Bolshevik position. He supported the American Legion and worked to deport any IWW members who opposed the American government
The Edgecumbe Earthquake: A review of the 2 March 1987 Eastern Bay of Plenty earthquake
No full textThis book, written by consulting engineers George Butcher and Latham Andrews and economist Graham Cleland, combines a study of the damage caused by the 2 March 1987 Eastern Bay of Plenty earthquake to domestic, commercial and industrial buildings and infrastructure in the region and the estimated costs involved, together with an estimate of economic impact, and some analysis and comment on how the response, recovery and reconstruction phases were handled

Analysis of Runge-Kutta methods using Butcher tableaus
No full textThis Bachelor thesis provides an analysis of Runge-Kutta methods using Butcher tableaus. Runge-Kutta method are numerical methods used for approximating initial value problems. A Runge-Kutta method can be classified as either an explicit or an implicit method. A special kind of implicit methods are diagonally implicit methods. The type of method can be recognised by the Butcher tableau. Using the entries of the Butcher tableau, one can compute the amplification factor of a Runge-Kutta method. The amplification factor can then be used to compute the order of the local truncation error and the stability region. Examples of these computations are given for seven methods. Furthermore, this thesis provides an algorithm to perform time steps for each of the three types of Runge-Kutta methods. Finally, in order to analyse the global truncation error of the seven methods, the algorithm to perform time steps is used with different step sizes.Applied Mathematic

Material examined. 1 Female, CHILE, Region ×, Parc Nacional Puyehue Anticura Sendero Repucura, sweeping in Nothofagus /Cusqueira forest, 447m, 17.ii.2005, 40º 39 ’ 53 ”S 70 º 10 ’ 02”W. Description. Body length 2.8 mm, fore wing 2.6 mm and exserted part of ovipositor 0.5 mm. Flagellum with 14 segments. Terminal flagellomere 1.5 × wider than 1 st. Apical three flagellar segments distinctly swollen and wider than rest of flagellum. First flagellomere 1.1 × longer than both the 2 nd and 3 rd separately; 3.6 × longer than wide. Face without midlongitudinal ridge, strongly transversely striate. Frons, occiput and temples coarsely rugose. Distance between posterior ocelli: transverse diameter of posterior ocellus: shortest distance between posterior ocellus and eye = 3: 1: 3. Temples wide and rounded. Pronotum forming a short but distinct neck. Mesosoma 1.7 × longer than high, largely setose (Fig. 6). Forewing: pterostigma 4 × longer than maximally wide; lengths of r-rs: 3 RSa: 3 RSb = 1.0: 2.7: 3.7; vein 1 CUa: 1 Cub = 1.0: 2.1 (Fig. 5). Hind wing: vein M+CU 1.25 × longer than 1 -M; vein m-cu slightly postfurcal. Fore femur with fine transverse sculpture, 4.5 × longer than maximally deep. Fore tibia 1.1 × longer than fore tarsus. Fore basitarsus 5 × longer than deep, 0.33 × length of whole tarsus. Hind coxa coarsely sculptured, transversely striate posterodorsally. Hind femur: tibia: tarsus: basitarsus = 0.85: 1.0: 0.85: 0.3. Hind basitarsus 0.25 × length of whole tarsus. First metasomal tergite longitudinally striate, basally with curved carinae that do not meet medially. 2 nd and 3 rd tergites largely coriaceous but with sculpture tending to form longitudinal parallel lines. 2 nd tergite with a very small mid-basal triangular area that is produced medially into a weak but distinct mid-longitudinal carina. Colour. Largely black; face, top of head, mesoscutum largely (except margins) red-brown; legs and palps yellowish; wings clear with pale brown venation. Male. Unknown. Biology. Unknown. Etymology. Named in honour of the delightfully inquisitorial Mr John Humphries, who during an interview with the junior author for the BBC Radio 4 Today Programme suggested it might be nice to have a species named after himself.Published as part of Quicke, Donald L.
