No full textHilary-Lynn McCabe, Graduate Assistant for the Intersectional Feminist Resource Center, shares her thoughts on MLK and the lessons she has learned from his leadership. Transcript 00:00 Hi everyone! 00:01 My name is Hilary, I use she/her pronouns, and I am the GA for the IFRC. 00:06 Just sharing some thoughts today for Martin Luther King Jr. day. 00:11 Dr. King was known for his Civil Rights activism in the 60\u27s, but his words and work are still 00:17 incredibly important for us today and what our country is experiencing regarding racial 00:24 injustice. 00:25 The inspiration that I take from Dr. King is the importance of fighting for human rights 00:31 and human dignity, and never being lukewarm about it. 00:36 He really upheld that human dignity piece and love in his work, and it inspires me to 00:42 do the same

This black spot is lacking in <i>L. dorsalis</i>. Diagnostic genitalia characters are as follows: In <i>L. merga</i> the combination of a “pitchfork-like” digitus and basal sclerite of the clasper contrasts with the “spade-like” structure of these two elements in <i>L. dorsalis</i> (Fig. 19). The everted endophalli of the two species is also strikingly different (compare Fig. 18 with Fig. 20). In <i>L. merga</i>, after the basal straight portion the endophallus, makes a right angle capped by a diverticulum with a cluster of long, stiff cornuti. In <i>L. dorsalis</i> this structure is reduced to two small diverticula, one of which has a single hair-like cornutus. The terminal segment of the endophallus in <i>L. merga</i> has a row of robust, retrorse cornuti, which diminishes to a sparse row as it continues to the gonopore. In <i>L. dorsalis</i> this segment of the endophallus is completely unadorned. The bursae copulatrix are also distinct. In <i>L. merga</i> (Fig. 37) the ductus bursae is short and thick whereas in <i>L. dorsalis</i> (Fig. 38) the ductus bursae is long, narrow, and twisted.</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> (Fig. 4) Wingspan 34–36.5 mm.

Jack Alive / Martin Dead : The Location of the "Author" in Jack London\u27s Martin Eden
No full textThis essay is an attempt to read Martin Eden, Jack Londonʼs autobiographical novel, in terms of the inextricable relationship between the author and the protagonist. Critics have often taken the unbalanced plot and the lack of ironic distance between narrator and character in Martin Eden as the technical weakness of London, but this paper argues that the achievement of this novel owes a great deal to the attachment of London to Martin. The unbalanced structure is a necessary product of the severe struggle of the author to kill his romantic alter ego. // Martin, who aspires to win Ruth Morse, tries to cross class boundaries by making a career of a writer. Even after realizing the emptiness of Ruth, who turns out to be nothing but a typical figure of the bourgeoisie, he somehow persists in loving her. The notion underlying here is that, for Martin, love, career and art are fundamentally inseparable. He objects to the aestheteʼs view of Brissenden on account of his separation of art from career. Martinʼs identity and life consist only in the triunity of love/career/art; the alternative is the repudiation of life. Thus, the unnatural delay of his disappointment in love can be regarded as Londonʼs strategy to set the suicide of Martin as the necessary consequence of the story. // By finishing the story and killing Martin, London finally detaches himself from Martin, reconstructs his self, and, unlike Martin, survives as a professional writer. In this sense, Martin Eden is a story about “writerʼs self-reconstruction.

Solely on the basis of habitus, it is probably impossible to distinguish <i>L. championi</i> from <i>L. humidicola</i> Guenée, 1852 (Fig. 11) consistently. The forewing of <i>L. championi</i> is usually not as bright and contrasting as <i>L. humidicola</i> but otherwise similar. Males of both species have distinctive heavily tufted fore- and mid-tibia. The range of <i>L. championi</i> extends from Mexico to northwestern South America, and potentially overlaps <i>L. humidicola</i> in northern Mexico. The genitalia of both sexes are distinctive. In <i>L. championi</i> the extended basal sclerite of the clasper is attenuated into a sharp point, which reaches beyond the margin of the valva. In <i>L. humidicola</i> this structure is shorter and bluntly upturned to the mid-margin (Fig. 29). In <i>L. championi</i> the everted endophallus initially is a simple tube but has an unadorned pyramid-shaped diverticulum at approximately one-third of its length from base, followed by a single row of robust retrorse cornuti, which extends to the gonopore. In <i>L. humidicola</i> the everted endophallus (Fig. 30) is distinguished by a long narrow diverticulum, which arises near the base and ends in a long pointed cornutus. In both <i>L. championi</i> and <i>L. humidicola</i> (Fig. 43) <i>the</i> appendix bursae arises near the ostium bursae, however the ductus bursae in <i>L. championi</i> is a short straight tube ending in a sac-like corpus bursae whereas in <i>L. humidicola</i> this structure is long and ends in a twisted loop before entering the corpus bursae.</p> <p> <b>Description</b>. (Fig. 10) Wingspan 35–38 mm. Male palpi with dark scales, female palpi tan without dark scales; frons light tan. Thorax tan with three patagia bands, first band with brown scales, middle band less distinct, posterior band with distinct black-tipped scales; tegula and thorax tan; scale tufts on male fore- and mid-tibiae. Forewing ground light brown; cubital vein white scaled with brown shade for entire length; reniform reduced to a black dot at end of cell; p.m. line indicated by dots at veins, strongest at veins M1 and Cu2; veins white; terminal dots present. Hind wing of male pearly white, the female hind wing white, infuscated near margin. Ventral forewing light tan, darker in subcostal area. Ventral hind wing pearly white, costal margin tan. Abdomen light tan, shaggy; male basal abdominal eversible tubular structures present. Sexes similar, except female hind wing slightly darker near margin.</p> <p> <i>Male genitalia.</i> (Figs. 31 & 32) Uncus, tegumen, and vinculum unmodified; cucullus short and rounded with a single row of fine non-deciduous setae in sockets on the lateral margin of both cucullus and valva; a large pore plate present at valvulus; ampulla thick and hook-like; digitus short and thick; editum inconspicuous; top of clasper sharp and hooked, whereas the basal sclerite produced into a long, straight, attenuated, sharp-pointed projection reaching or exceeding margin of valva; claval area of the sacculus with a slight prominence. Phallus long, thin and straight; everted endophallus with a short, pointed diverticulum at one-third length from base followed by a row of stout, retrorse cornuti, which extends to the gonopore.</p> <p> <i>Female genitalia.</i> (Fig. 44) Ductus bursae basally short and thick. Sclerotized appendix bursae branching to left and becoming sac-like, ending in ductus seminalis; ductus bursae continuing beyond the origin of the appendix bursae with a short, straight portion before entering thin walled, sac-like corpus bursae.</p> <p> <b>Global distribution.</b> Mexico, Guatemala (type locality), Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Ecuador including Galápagos Islands (<i>vide</i> Hayes, 1975, as <i>Mythimna solita</i>).</p> <p> <b>Food plant.</b> Seaside Dropseed <i>Sporobolus virginicus</i> (Linnaeus) Kunth was reported as food plant of <i>L. championi</i> (as <i>M. solita</i>) on the Galápagos Islands (<i>vide</i> Hayes, 1975). Seaside Dropseed is a perennial tussock grass of coastal marshes, dunes, and beaches of tropical and subtropical countries worldwide.</p> <p> <b>Larva</b>. Hayes (1975) described the larva as follows: “Head gray with brown reticulation. Body reddish brown with darker markings and diffuse white lines.”</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> The specific epithet “championi <i>”</i> honors George Charles Champion FLS (b.1851–d.1927) who collected specimens in Guatemala in 1879 for the “Biologia Centrali-Americana” (Selander & Vaurie, 1962). Today we are faced with increasingly limited access to collecting at a time of precipitous declines in biodiversity. We wish to call attention to the often overlooked contribution of collectors who document our natural heritage.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> We have not verified <i>L. humidicola</i> from Mexico, however as it occurs in California and Texas it undoubtedly also occurs in Mexico. We recognize two new junior synonyms of <i>L. humidicola</i>: <i>Leucania februalis</i> Hill, 1924, <b>New Synonym</b>, and <i>Leucania elephas</i> Troubridge, 2020, <b>New Synonym</b>. <i>Leucania championi</i> has been misidentified as <i>L. humidicola</i> in a recent publication (Troubridge, 2020). We reiterate the necessity of examination of types of all available names. The practice of wantonly ignoring primary types and junior synonyms leads to the generation of more synonyms hindering biodiversity research.</p> <p> Guatemala specimens of <i>L. championi</i> with Janzen codes 07-SRNP-102951 and 07-SRNP-10487 were sequenced in BOLD under the name <i>Leucania februalis.</i></p>Published as part of <i>Mccabe, Timothy L. & Adams, Morton S., 2023, Five new species of the genus Leucania Ochsenheimer in Central America (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), pp. 250-266 in Zootaxa 5256 (3)</i> on pages 258-265, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5256.3.2, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/7751414">http://zenodo.org/record/7751414</a>
Experiences Using Large Scale Video Walls for Distance Education
No full textWe describe our experiences building and using the Rutgers Videowall, a low-cost telepresence system that has been used teaching 15 courses and colloquia. By relaxing typical spatial telepresence features, such as background continuity, we greatly reduced costs and gained flexibility in the rooms it could be deployed in. The lower costs and room flexibility enabled academic departments to use the wall, in contrast to traditional telepresence systems which remained inaccessible. We found that the Videowall’s spatial distortions did not have a significant impact on useability, as our initial survey results show that students had an overall positive experience.Technical report DCS-tr-72
