Crocker Range National Park, Sabah, as a refuge for Borneo’s montane herpetofauna
No full textCrocker Range National Park in Sabah (East Malaysia), northern Borneo, is an exceptional area for herpetological diversity. Inventories of the Park are incomplete, but show high diversity, as well as regional endemicity shared with the adjacent and more well-known Gunung Kinabalu National Park. The montane ecosystem of the Range offers refuge for a number of rare herpetofaunal taxa, including Stoliczkia borneensis, Rhabdophis murudensis, Oligodon everetti, Philautus bunitus, Ansonia anotis, Sphenomorphus aesculeticola, and undescribed species of squamates of the genera Sphenomorphus and Gongylosoma. The 59 species of amphibians and 45 species of reptiles now recorded from the Range represent 39 and 16.2 per cent of the total Bornean amphibian and reptile fauna, respectively. The high levels of deforestation of the surrounding regions of Borneo, particularly lowland rainforests, highten the importance of protection of primary forests of northern Borneo’s Crocker Range

Alternative Opportunities for Small Farms: Peach and Nectarine Production Review
No full textFlorida produces some of the earliest commercial-quality peaches and nectarines in North America. During the last 10 years, many new, improved peach and nectarine cultivars have been released by the University of Florida. They have increased the potential for expansion of commercial peach and nectarine acreage throughout much of the Florida peninsula and along the Gulf Coast regions of the southeastern United States. This revised 3-page fact sheet was written by Mercy Olmstead, Jeff Williamson, Jose Chaparro, and Tim Crocker, and published by the UF Department of Horticultural Sciences, September 2011.

Betty Crocker Versus Betty Friedan: Meanings of Wifehood Within a Postfeminist Era
No full text In this article, deploying Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique and the fictional American icon Betty Crocker within a poststructural feminist analysis, the author analyzes a social science data set investigating how 18 contemporary wives think about wifehood. Crocker and Friedan are emblematic of the cultural DNA that make up wifehood: The mythical Betty Crocker represents the happy, traditional housewife of the 1950s, and Betty Friedan offers a critique of the happy, traditional housewife figure. Thinking about historical trends, in the 1950s to 1960s, femininity and families were rigidly prescribed and, thus, largely unquestioned. In the 21st century, with the influx of postfeminism, prescriptions for femininity and families are thought to be less rigid—but are they? Contemporary wives’ identity negotiations mapped onto both Betty Crocker and Betty Friedan but remained anchored in the Betty Crocker image. </jats:p
SEDIMENTOLOGY AND PETROGRAPHIC STUDIES OF WEST CROCKER FORMATION IN SULAMAN AREA, KOTA KINABALU, SABAH.
No full textIn this paper, the author describes the sedimentology and petrography of West Crocker Formation in Sulaman area, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. West Crocker Formation is part of the accretionary complex in NW Sabah. The beddings are almost vertical and the sediments are all clastic. The facies in West Crocker Formation could be divided into four main groups; i) massive sandstone, ii) silty sandstone, iii) laminated mudstone, ix) carbonaceous shale. The contact between facies shows two main current trends which are strong turbidity current and weak turbidity current

Dirigo in the Arctic: Donald B. Macmillan, Harrison J. Hunt, and The Crocker Land Expedition, 1913-1917
No full textThe polar careers of three Maine men intersected in the far reaches of the northern Arctic Ocean at a specific geographic spot on the globe: 83° North Latitude, 100° West Longitude. Called Crocker Land, it had been sighted by polar explorer and Maine resident Robert E. Peary on June 24, 1906. In 1913, Mainer Donald B. MacMillan organized the Crocker Land expedition to explore this land that Peary had sighted. Another Mainer, Harrison J. Hunt, signed on as doctor for MacMillan’s venture in 1913. Crocker Land tied them all together, but only one of the three actually stood where it should have been located; another only glimpsed the land from afar; and the third never even got close to it and came to regard its non-existence as an apt metaphor for the entire expedition. Crocker Land became their nexus and colored each one’s actions from that point forward. The author is a doctoral student in history at the University of Maine and is researching the connections between Maine and the polar world. He is president of the Antarctican Society, membership chair for the American Polar Society, and author of The Fifth Man: The Life of Henry R. Bowers, published by Caedmon of Whitby in 1999.
