No full textPublished by the Sun Company from 1907 sometime through 1909, the Tallahassee (FL) Morning Sun [LCCN: sn95047371], a self-declared "Democratic" newspaper, was a continuation of the Tallahassee (FL) Daily Capital [LCCN: sn95026133]. For unknown reasons, the Morning Sun suspended publication in 1908. A weekly edition, known as the Sun [LCCN sn95047216], was also published in Jacksonville (FL). The Morning Sun was edited by Claude L'Engle (1868-1919), a native of Jacksonville and United States Representative for Florida's fourth Congressional district roughly spanning northeast Florida from Jacksonville to Tallahassee from 1913 through 1915. L'Engle also edited the newspaper Dixie [LCCN sn92060426] in Jacksonville from 1910 through approximately 1913 when he retired. Dixie would be criticized for being against free speech. And, it also reflected L'Engle's anti-Catholic feelings. The Morning Sun, which bore the masthead, "If it's right we're for it" on its 1909 issues, was published daily while the Legislature was in session, but did not publish on Mondays other times of the year. And, while the Legislature was in session it covered the Legislature extensively. Of note in 1907 was the disfranchise by both House and Senate bodies of Florida's African-Americans. It also covered naval stores production, an important part of north/northeast Florida's economy at that time. --E.

MAGEC_2024
No full textMAGEC (Magma And Gas Equilibrium Calculator)
Author: Chenguang Sun
Copyright, 2025
This Matlab program calculates the equilibrium distribution of C-H-O-S volatiles (H2, H2O, CO, CO2, CH4, H2S, SO2, S2, COS, O2) in gas-melt coupled systems.
Updates on April 27, 2025:
1. Added additional options for CO2 and H2O solubility models
2. Corrected CO solubility models

Sun, VA: Conceptual Redevelopment Plan for the Former Sun Motors Property
No full textThe Community Design Assistance Center (CDAC) of Virginia Tech received a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfields Assessment grant to assess and help communities develop conceptual redevelopment plans for potentially contaminated sites in southwest Virginia communities.
The EPA Assessment Grant provides funding for CDAC to help communities determine if a site is contaminated (and if so, with what), and then to plan for the possible redevelopment of that site through conceptual design development.
The purpose of this project was to work with a Stakeholders Committee to create a conceptual redevelopment plan for former Sun Motors property. The primary end-use of the property would be a solid waste transfer station operated by Russell County
SunSmart? Skin cancer knowledge and preventive behaviour in a British population representative sample
No full textThe incidence of skin cancer has risen rapidly in the UK over the last 20 years, prompting public health organizations to try and raise awareness of the dangers of sun exposure and the need to practice sun-safe behaviour. This study aimed to assess baseline levels of sun-safe knowledge and behaviour in a British population-representative sample, prior to the launch of Cancer Research UK's 'SunSmart' campaign. A face-to-face survey was conducted through the Office for National Statistics as part of their Omnibus survey. In total, 1848 men and women aged 18 and over were interviewed. Knowledge of what to do to reduce skin cancer risk was modest. Two-thirds mentioned avoiding the sun by seeking shade, 50% mentioned covering up and only 43% said to use high factor sunscreen. Practice of sun-safe behaviours was also poor, with only one-third saying they sought shade, covered up or used high factor sunscreen to protect themselves from the sun. Men and those from lower socioeconomic groups were least informed and least likely to report using sun-protective behaviours. Increases in both knowledge and use of appropriate sun-protective behaviours are needed if skin cancer incidence rates are to decrease

In the Year of the Quiet Sun
No full textIn the Year of the Quiet Sun configures moments from the grand project of mid-20th Century Pan-Africanism, envisaged as the total liberation of the African continent from Europe’s Empires, through the media of animation, video, interior decor, display-system, reading room and publication.
The works created for In the Year of the Quiet Sun operate as peculiar anomalies that seek to summon forces of indexicality and iconicity from the aspirations, alibis and abuses of sovereignty that emerge in the fields of postal politics, imperial infrastructure and magazine diplomacy.
In the installation Statecraft (2014), the short century of decolonization is envisioned as a political calendar assembled from the medium of the postage stamp. These masscult artifacts, issued to commemorate the independence of African nation-states, from Liberia in 1847 to South Sudan in 2011, are integrated into an elaborate display system that reveals the convergence of Pan-Africanist Pop with Social Realist portraiture. Statecraft approaches the postage stamp less as a witness to history in the making than as a form of evil media that elevates the sovereignty of dictators and revolutionaries alike.
The essay film In the Year of the Quiet Sun (2013) takes its name from the decrease in solar surface temperature that occurs every eleven years. From November 1964 to November 1965, the nation states of the world issued postage stamps to commemorate the first scientific expedition to study the sun. As the stamps turned their face towards the sky, they overlooked the unstable land of Africa’s newly independent states.
If the founding of the Universal Postal Union in Bern in 1874 can be understood as the instituting of imperial infrastructure then Rene de Saint-Marceaux’s 1907 monument to the UPU stands as the first attempt to visualise global communication. Conceived by The Otolith Group and animated by ScanLab, Sovereign Sisters (2014) mobilises Saint Marceaux’s monument into a digital hymn to the automatism of planetary infrastructure.
The installation One Out of Many Afrophilias (2014) summons the energies of the controversial Transition magazine, founded in 1961 in Kampala, Uganda, by poet and editor Rajat Neogy. One Out of Many Afrophilias conjures Transition’s influential Afropolitanism into a fictional skyline that combines interior décor with display system and reading room.
In its distanced forms of abstracted décor and allusive display, its essayistic engagement with video and its eldritch deployment of animation, the works assembled In the Year of the Quiet Sun reveal the designs that Pan Africanism exerted and continues to exert upon its subjects; in doing so, it hints at the magic wielded by newly born states upon citizens, exiles, refugees and diaspora
