Frankfurt book fair: cancelled prize ceremony for Palestinian author is part of a long history of political zigzagging
No full textFirst paragraph: The Frankfurt Buchmesse, or book fair, is the world’s largest publishing industry gathering, attracting thousands of exhibitors every October. On one level, it’s a business event focused on creating buzz for forthcoming bestsellers, trading rights and discussing industry developments. On another, it’s a public celebration of books and the values associated with them.https://theconversation.com/frankfurt-book-fair-cancelled-prize-ceremony-for-palestinian-author-is-part-of-a-long-history-of-political-zigzagging-21574

Typed transcript of a Letter from Edward M Ryan to Laurence L. Doggett (March 10, 1916)
No full textThis is a typed transcript of a letter from Edward M Ryan to Laurence L. Doggett. It is dated March 10, 1916 and is five pages long. There is an original within the collection. In the letter Ryan keeps Doggett up to date on what has been happening to him in New Zealand and all the progress he has managed to accomplish in his time there.Edward M. Ryan (1878-1970) was born in Stretford, Manchester, England. He was a graduate of the class of 1911 He was known affectionately as "The Major" by the fellows at the YMCA in Wellington New Zealand where he spent his time before and after his war service. He served in three wars in the British Army, the Boer War, World War I, and World War II. During the First World War he served as a Y.M.C.A. field secretary at Awapuni and Trentham camps in France; and in the Second World War he served as an officer of the Wellington Y.M.C.A., which gave shelter to thousands of troops. He died in 1970

Oral History of Ryan Tuan Pham
No full textAn oral history with Mr. Ryan Tuan Pham, born in 1965 in Saigon, Vietnam. He was a student during the time of the war and lived in Long An, Vietnam. He has five brothers and five sisters, and he is the eighth child. He comes from a Catholic family. Ryan talks about his childhood memories and memories of 1975. He left Vietnam at the age of 16 with some of his relatives by boat. He was sponsored to the U.S. and continued his education in high school and college. He also took English as a Second Language classes. In his early years in the U.S., he worked in a clothing factory in order to provide for himself. Now he works as a customs broker. Ryan takes part in a Vietnamese traditional culture music club. He has two daughters with his ex-wife. In 2014, he moved to Anaheim and now lives with his current girlfriend.Recorded Digitall

Context-Dependent Effects of Nutrition and Dam Behavior on Neonatal Survival in a Long-Lived Herbivore
No full textBehavior represents one of the primary mechanisms by which animals overcome environmental constraints on survival and reproductive success. Females in particular often exhibit plastic behavioral strategies for coping with the different nutritional demands and degrees of susceptibility to predation imposed by gestation, parturition and lactation. Previous studies have demonstrated a link between space-use behavior and important correlates of fitness and have highlighted the value of mechanistic nutritional approaches for understanding the fitness consequences of behavior. However, the mechanisms by which individual responses to variation in the nutritional landscape scale up to influence population performance remain unclear. We quantified relationships among the nutritional landscape (i.e., spatiotemporal variation in forage biomass), dam behavior, and neonatal survival in bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis). We conducted intensive vegetation sampling and used generalized additive modeling to map the nutritional landscapes available to sheep during summer (May–September) in three population ranges in Idaho: Owyhee River, East Fork of the Salmon River, and Lost River Range. We used GPS collars and lamb surveys to monitor ewe behavior and lamb survival in each study area, and used known-fate survival modeling to test for behaviorally mediated effects of nutrition on lamb survival. Relationships among the nutritional landscape, ewe behavior, and lamb survival were context dependent and varied among study sites. In the Lost River, where lamb survival was highest (83.9%), probability of lamb survival increased when ewes traded access to rugged terrain for access to higher forage biomass. We observed the opposite pattern in the East Fork (i.e., probability of lamb survival increased when ewes traded access to forage for access to rugged terrain), however, and in the Owyhee no metric of ewe behavior was significantly related to the probability of lamb survival. We also observed a strong, positive relationship between spring nutritional condition and probability of lamb survival across study sites. Our research helps to establish mechanistic links among habitat heterogeneity, individual space-use behavior, and reproductive success in bighorn sheep, and underscores the fundamental importance of nutrition as a driver of ungulate performance. Continuing to improve our understanding of such relationships will provide valuable insights for managers and conservationists, and will aid in accurately parameterizing models of population dynamics. Maximizing the usefulness of such models requires knowledge of the mechanisms that underpin variation in population demographics, and nutritional-ecological approaches like those used in our study shed important light on those mechanisms.masters, M.S., Natural Resources -- University of Idaho - College of Graduate Studies, 2021-0
