Treeing coons
No full textOne of the few satires sympathetic to the Democrats to appear during the 1844 presidential contest. Democratic presidential nominee James Polk is portrayed as a buckskinned hunter who has treed "coons" Henry Clay and Theodore Frelinghuysen. (Clay's nickname "that old coon" had wide currency in the campaign.) Holding a knife in his left hand, Polk grasps the Clay coon by the tail, saying "You've got up the wrong tree this time! Down you must come." At left former President Andrew Jackson stands on a ladder leaning against the "Hickory" tree and chops at the branch holding the two Whigs. He exclaims "Get down from my tree you vermin!" Frelinghuysen says, "from this old man good Lord deliver us!" Clay adds in verse: The state of things is quite surprisin. / Such d--d bad luck my Frelinghuysen. / My struggles are of no avail / For Polk has got me by the Tail. Two other Democrats, John C. Calhoun and Richard M. Johnson, appear as dogs rushing in from the left, saying, "Down with the Coons." Another Democratic ex-President, Martin Van Buren, watches from the right, remarking, "This works according to my wish--The Coons are treed at last." In the right foreground incumbent President John Tyler sets his dogs on the coons, saying, "At them Bobby! Catch them Johnny! Dont let the other dogs get in before you I shall beat them yet." His dogs are son Robert Tyler (labeled "Repeal" for his activism on behalf of the Irish Repeal movement) and John Beauchamp Jones, editor of the newspaper the "Madisonian," organ of the Tyler administration. They also chant, "Down with the Coons."Drawn by H. Bucholzer.Entered . . . 1844 by A. Purdy.Pub. by A. Purdy.

Combinatorial synthesis and screening of chalcogenide materials for data storage
No full textFor more than 15 years researchers at the Optoelectronics Research Centre at the University of Southampton have been developing novel compositions of chalcogenide glasses for a wide range of optical applications. Recently this expertise has been combined with those of Ilika Technologies Ltd and the School of Chemistry to focus on the development of enhanced chalcogenide materials for OUM and optical data storage applications. In our talk, we report on our high throughput methodology which allows rapid, reproducible and comprehensive mapping of phase diagrams and screening of optical, thermal and electrical properties. These procedures were initially applied to Ge:Sb:Te compositions where we were able to synthesis and analyse over 4000 sample points spanning the entire ternary system. In order to process such large volumes of compositions, novel screening techniques and strategies have been employed. We are applying this methodology to other novel compositions and our findings are reported

The sense of place and history in the poetry of A. W. Purdy
No full textIn "Tent Rings", a poem included in Alfred Wellington Purdy's 1967 collection of poetry, North of Summer, the poet remarks that entering ancient Eskimo settlement sites marked by rings of stones gave him a sense of "mingling with the past", of "being in two places". Similarly, in an article accompanying several of his North of Summer poems in The Beaver, Summer, 1966, Purdy remarks that he would not have been surprised to wake up one morning and find that several recently abandoned winter houses, located on the Kikastan Islands, which he and two Eskimo families inhabited for two weeks, had been re-occupied, "the people having just returned from founding a colony in Carthage or Antarctica".1 These remarks, though specifically referring to Purdy's experience with the Eskimos and their culture, seem to me to express aptly his sense of place and history in all his poems.
Purdy is acutely aware of an intimate relationship between the present and his place in it, and the past, in which he can only participate objectively, from a distance of years or ages, but which fascinates and intrigues him and which he incorporates into his subjective response to the present. In "Tent Rings", for example, he is entranced by:
a thousand year old spell
relayed and handed down
a legacy
from dead to the living
(North of Summer, p. 69)
Even as he lives with the Eskimo and adapts to their hunting culture, Purdy is conscious of the imposition of the past upon the Eskimo way of life and, by his intrusion into the Eskimo world, upon himself as an exile from twentieth century Canadian urban culture. this consciousness is directly expressed in almost every poem in North of Summer. It is not, however, a state of mind restricted to the particular geographical and social environment which Purdy describes in this volume. It is simply his most recent and most explicit expression of it. The relationship between national or cultural history and Purdy himself as a twentieth century poet in Canada, has been evolving as a significant theme in his poetry since the forties.
