21st-century scholarship and Wikipedia
No full textWikipedia, the world’s fifth most-used Web site, is a good illustration of the growing credibility of online resources. In his article in Ariadne earlier this year, “Wikipedia: Reflections on Use and Academic Acceptance”, Brian Whalley described the debates around accuracy and review, in the context of geology. He concluded that ‘If Wikipedia is the first port of call, as it already seems to be, for information requirement traffic, then there is a commitment to build on Open Educational Resources (OERs) of various kinds and improve their quality.’ In a similar approach to the Geological Society event that Whalley describes, Sarah Fahmy of JISC worked with Wikimedia and the British Library on a World War One (WWI) Editathon. There is a rich discourse about the way that academics relate to Wikipedia

Cook County Winter Trail Use Study: Technical Report
No full textThe following technical report on the Cook County resident survey was developed as a part of
the larger research project “Tourism and Winter Trail-based Recreation: An economic and
environmental comparison of motor and quiet sports.”
The project was designed to document and compare the impacts of snowmobiling and cross
country skiing in a destination county. It will measure the economic impacts and assess the
perceived social and environmental impacts of these activities. This study employed
questionnaires with snowmobilers and cross country skiers and survey local residents in Cook
County, Minnesota. An understanding of the differences between motor sports (snowmobiling)
and a quiet sport (cross country skiing) is useful in planning future development, minimizing
negative impacts, and improving marketing decisions.Kreag, Glenn M; Skurla, James A; Lichty, Richard W; Jacobson, Jean; McTavish, Donald G; Barkataki, Malita; Paukner, Amber. (2003).

My art is killing me, and other poems
No full textShort-listed, Jim Deva Prize for Writing that Provokes (BC and Yukon Book Prizes) 2021.In her novels, poetry, and prose, Amber Dawn has written eloquently on queer femme sexuality, individual and systemic trauma, and sex work justice, themes drawn from her own lived experience and revealed most notably in her award-winning memoir "How Poetry Saved My Life". In this, her second poetry collection, Amber Dawn takes stock of the costs of coming out on the page in a heartrendingly honest and intimate investigation of the toll that artmaking takes on artists. These long poems offer difficult truths within their intricate narratives that are alternately incendiary, tender, and rapturous. In a cultural era when intersectional and marginalized writers are topping bestseller lists, Amber Dawn invites her readers to take an unflinching look at what we expect from writers, and from each other. Includes a foreword by writer Doretta Lau. --From publisher description.poetrywomen's literatureLGBTQ+lesbian literatur
ozbayb/amber: AMBER v1.0 release for multiphoton fiber bundle imaging
No full textAMBER V1.0
<p><strong>Artefactual Multiphoton Bundle Effect Removal</strong></p>
Description
<p>This release is a collection of functions and an example of a main program that is intended for the use of removing an artifact caused by performing multiphoton imaging through a coherent imaging fiber bundle. Some of the code may need to be modified to be compatible with specific file types for the image stacks. Also required is a "Flat" image, which is a multiphoton image of a flat fluorescent sample through the fiber-bundle acquired under the same conditions as the actual image data stacks to be fixed. The individual image stacks may be time series or Z-stacks and may be a field-of-view smaller than the full surface of the fiber-bundle. A simple rigid registration code allows the centroid locations identified in the flat image to be registered onto the image data.</p>
List of functions:
<ul>
<li>centerPadCrop: Performs a simple central crop</li>
<li>filterValSeries: Temporal/axial filter on each core independently</li>
<li>getCentroidValues: Extracts the values of the cores at the identified centroids</li>
<li>getCorrectorValues: Acquires the correction factors for each core from the flat image</li>
<li>getFiberCentroids: Finds the centroid pixel coordinates for each fiber core</li>
<li>getParameter: Extract specific data from a *.txt file containing imaging metadata</li>
<li>gridFiberCores: Interpolates the core centroids into a uniform pixel grid</li>
<li>makeFiberImage: Uses the centroid locations and values to recreate the fiber images</li>
<li>rigidAlignFiber: Performs a rigid registration of the flat fiber centroids to the actual image field</li>
<li>writeFiberImages: Writes the processed image files to *.tif with metadata (using Bioformats toolbox)</li>
</ul>

How poetry saved my life: A hustler's memoir
No full textA memoir about sex work and sexuality, and how writing became the author's lifeline. Amber Dawn's acclaimed first novel Sub Rosa, a darkly intoxicating fantasy about a group of magical prostitutes who band together to fend off bad johns in a fantastical underworld, won a Lambda Literary Award in 2011. How Poetry Saved My Life, Amber Dawn's sophomore book, reveals an even more poignant and personal landscape--the terrain of sex work, queer identity, and survivor pride. This story, told in prose and poetry, offers a frank, multifaceted portrait of the author's experiences hustling the streets of Vancouver, and how those years took away her self-esteem and nearly destroyed her; at the crux of this autobiographical narrative is the tender celebration of poetry and literature, which--as the title suggests--acted as a lifeline during her most pivotal moments.
As raw and fiery as its author, How Poetry Saved My Life is a powerful account of survival and the transformative power of literature. --From publisher description.Women's literatureBiography & MemoirLGBTQ+Lesbian literatur
