The New Guinea memoirs of Jean Baptiste Octave Mouton
Full text linkIn 1880 young Jean Baptiste Octave Mouton left Belgium and his trade as wigmaker's apprentice to better his prospects in the Pacific. With his father, a leather worker, he joined the rascally Marquis de Rays's ill-fated colonising venture in New Ireland and stayed to become a wealthy trader and copra planter. Mouton was refreshingly free of the pompous superiority of most Europeans. He was not misled by his own preconceptions but sympathised with native feelings and perceived something of the relationship of custom to the institutions of kinship and authority. Indeed he married a local woman and adopted certain local practices - inevitable incurring the disapproval of his European fellow-settlers. His 'Memoirs', impassive, matter-of-fact and impersonal in style, illustrate a dramatic theme: the impact of European arrival on small, isolated but stable communities, and the disruption caused to traditional ways of life. Recollections such as these throw valuable light on a poorly-documented period of New Guinea history and provide an account of such colourful figures as Thomas Farrell, the legendary Queen Emma - and Mouton himself
The Effect of LiDAR Digital Elevation Model Resolution on Stream Network Prediction and Computational Requirements
No full textMouton will describe his research into stream prediction. In his study, he examined the effects of digital elevation model (DEM) grid size for stream network predictions in the northwestern United States to test the accuracy of high-resolution LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) digital elevation data. He will describe the elevation data and routing algorithms used. He will also discuss the results of his analyses. His study illustrates the potential of LiDAR to accurately predict perennial flow in a given landscape. The ability to locate fish barriers based on landscape gradient also improved with LiDAR data. As LiDAR datasets become more available, automated creation of stream networks and their hydrologic features will become more feasible and the accuracy of the results will be much improved

Writing Black Women’s Mythology: A Conversation with Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton
No full textIn commemoration of the proclamation of the end of slavery in the United States on June 19, 1865, writer, activist, and performer Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton read from and discussed her memoir Black Chameleon at the 2023 Juneteenth Dialogue hosted by the Chair of American Studies at the University of Münster. The Juneteenth Dialogues are designed to enter into a discussion about systemic racism in the United States and to explore literary responses to the vulnerabilities of Black lives and strategies of (literary) resistance. With Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton, the focus of conversation was on the importance of mythology for Black women in the United States, the potentials of autobiographical writing, and the importance of literature today. Mythology, in Mouton’s work, builds on what Audre Lorde called "biomythography" to combine personal experience, popular culture, history, and received narratives that are part of ancient storytelling traditions. In Mouton’s hands, this becomes a technique for getting closer to some of the complex truths of a past grounded in enslavement. Mouton’s reading from Black Chameleon and the panel discussion that followed are the basis of this interview. It has been edited for clarity. We want to thank the audience of the 2023 Juneteenth Dialogues as well as Dr. Ortwin Lämke and Frederik Köpke from the Studiobühne for providing the space for this event
Mouton Roux du Valais: dignes d’être préservés, roux comme noirs!
No full textBei den Walliser Landschafen (Roux du Valais) kommen neben den rassetypischen Älwen (rotbraun) vereinzelt schwarze Tiere (Lötschenschaf) vor. Es wurde vermutet,
dass die schwarze Farbe in Folge von Einkreuzung anderer Rassen, wie z.B. Walliser Schwarznasenschafen, auftritt. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Zuchtverein Walliser Landschaf und ProSpecieRara lieferten die Resultate einer Masterarbeit der Universität Bern eine klärende Antwort auf diese Frage.On connaît le mouton Roux du Valais dans son expression typique rousse (type Älwen ), mais de manière isolée aussi noire (mouton du Lötschen). On suspectait que la couleur noire était la conséquence de croisements avec d’autres races, comme le Nez Noir du Valais. En collaboration avec l’Association d’élevage du mouton Roux du Valais et ProSpecieRara, les résultats d’un travail de Master de l’Université de Berne ont fourni une réponse éclaircissant le mystère
