High Supersaturation in the Wake of Falling Hydrometeors: Implications for Cloud Invigoration and Ice Nucleation
No full textAerosol particles, cloud droplets, and ice crystals, coupled through the supersaturation field, play an important role in the buoyancy and life cycle of convective clouds. This letter reports laboratory observations of copious cloud droplets and ice crystals formed in the wake of a warm, falling water drop, which is a laboratory surrogate for a relatively warm hydrometeor in atmospheric clouds, such as a graupel particle in the wet growth regime. Aerosols were activated in the regions of very high supersaturation due to mixing in the wake. A mechanism is explored for attaining very high supersaturations capable of activating significant fractions of the interstitial aerosols within the lifetime of a convective cloud. The latent heat released from the activation of interstitial aerosols and subsequent growth may provide an additional source of buoyancy for cloud invigoration and may lead to larger concentrations of ice crystals

Session Illustration: Inspired by Improv Workshop of Kathy Kinney and Cindy Ratzlaff
No full textSession description:
How to Uncover Your Own Voice and Get it Down on Paper (Kathy Kinney and Cindy Ratzlaff): Using a series of improvisational writing techniques and a simple kitchen timer, this hands-on workshop will get you past your self-criticism, reveal your unique voice and help you incorporate that voice into your writing. You’ll learn how to use your voice to paint a clear picture for readers, helping them experience who you are, where you are, who you are to the others in your scene and what makes this day so important in the story. Come prepared to write without self-editing and to give your imagination a good workout.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck by J. Kinney
No full textKinney, Jeff. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck. New York: Amulet Books, 2013. Print.The book I read was Diary of A Wimpy Kid Hard Luck. The author is Jeff Kinney and the publisher is Amulet Books. The story was about Greg Heffley trying to find new friends and going through the school year. He is doing a lot of stuff he would do with his friend Rowly Jefferson as he struggles through the school year. I liked the book because it is a funny book to read and it has lots of jokes in it and it’s a really good book to read for people in grade 4-6. I don’t like the book because some parts in the story get really boring.[Recommended: 3 out of 5 stars]Reviewer: NoahMy name is Noah. I love to read information books. My favorite book to read is diary of the wimpy kid long haul. My favorite place to read is on my bed. I like to read when I go to sleep
Social dancing of to-day,

The manual is enhanced by twenty six photographs of several important exhibition dance teams (for example, Irene and Vernon Castle; Maurice and Florence Walden). More than thirty steps are described including the one step, tango, Brazilian maxixe, and the hesitation waltz.Reprinted with slight changes from: The dance; its place in art and life, by Troy and Margaret West Kinney
Review of \u3ci\u3eCaptain lack and the Dalton Gang: The Life and Times of a Railroad Detective\u3c/i\u3e By John J. Kinney
No full textThe evening of July 14, 1892, a train carrying a heavily-armed posse passed slowly through Adair, Indian Territory. Also on board was John J. Captain Jack Kinney Jr, who headed the Missouri, Kansas, and Texas { Katy } Railroad detectives. Their presence resulted from a tip that the Dalton gang planned to rob the Katy near Pryor Creek. Perhaps as a result of this apparent false alarm, the posse was unprepared as the train passed through Adair. It was here that the gang successfully robbed the Katy. It was also here that Kinney became a part of history-a parenthetical person, a human footnote. And, according to some accounts, a coward. One man\u27s footnote, however, is often another\u27s family lore. Captain Jack was the author\u27s great-grandfather, and Kinney\u27s book has two goals: first, to better understand the life and times in which his grandfather lived; and second, to use this knowledge together with the conflicting accounts of the robbery to uncover what actually happened that night and, along the way, resurrect Captain Jack\u27s reputation.
Through the use of newspaper articles, the detective\u27s diary from 1891, oral histories, and numerous secondary sources, Kinney takes the reader on an entertaining and informative romp that (somehow) links together Irish immigration, the history of crime detection, Gilded Age financial shenanigans, train outlawry, dueling, and the horrifying reality of southern lynchings. In the process, and despite a lack of sources focusing specifically on Captain Jack, Kinney crafts a solid portrait of a man who would otherwise be lost to history.
Armed with this background, the author sifts through the multiple and contradictory accounts of the Adair robbery. Captain Jack is far from the coward claimed by some accounts of the stickup. More important, the author convincingly demonstrates that Captain Jack ought not to be summed up by the events of one day during a lifetime of nearly eighty years.
While the book merits recommendation, there are a number of small issues worth noting. Readers looking for a precisely defined argum, ent and guiding thesis will be disappointed. Moreover, there are points where the author wanders a little too far off track. Though part of the book\u27s charm, this may frustrate some readers. In addition, the sourcing and footnoting is uneven in places. There are numerous passages where one would expect a footnote, and the bibliography omits listing some sources used in the text.
Overall, Captain Jack is well worth the read and provides a much-needed glimpse at the life of one of the anonymous individuals who fought against the overly famous railroad bandits of the nineteenth century
Communication in A Visual Mode: Papal Apse Mosaics
No full textApse mosaics are a form of visual communication employed by popes throughout the Middle Ages, from the sixth through to the thirteenth centuries. This essay examines the nature of this visual mode and the means by which viewers could understand it. A theory of viewing widely attributed to Pope Gregory I (590–604) is shown to be especially pertinent to early medieval apse mosaics and to the twelfth-century mosaic in the apse of S. Maria in Trastevere. The apses of thirteenth-century popes display a new, more explicit approach to visual messaging that required less interpretive effort by the viewer. Two mosaics made at the end of this century were signed by the artist who made them. The emergence of the artist as a competing author of the image diminished the utility of this form of papal visual communication, which immediately fell out of use
Bringing it all back home: Early Ceramic period residential occupation at the Kinney Spring Site (5LR144c), Larimer County, Colorado
No full text2015 Spring.Includes bibliographical references.The Kinney Spring site (5LR144c) was excavated by the Colorado State University archaeological field school during the summers of 1983 through 1985. Rich cultural deposits were recovered which indicated reoccupation of the site from the Middle Archaic period through the Early Ceramic period, however the densest concentrations of artifacts were associated with Early Ceramic occupations (A.D. 150-1150). This research focuses on the Early Ceramic period at the site. The first part of this thesis aims to define the Late Prehistoric period chronology for the site by first defining where the Late Prehistoric component begins in the stratigraphic column. Analysis determined that there is sparse evidence for Middle Ceramic and possibly Protohistoric period occupation of the site based on diagnostic artifacts, although this is not sufficient to define any Middle Ceramic or Protohistoric components. The second part of this thesis explores the Early Ceramic component in greater detail. Artifact accumulations and radiocarbon dates suggest that Kinney Spring was reoccupied multiple times during the Early Ceramic period, suggesting that the site was an important part of the regional Early Ceramic era settlement system. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that occupational intensity increased here during the Early Ceramic, likely in response to increasing regional population pressure
