Classic Animal Tales
No full textThis book is largely identical with one published in 1998 by Publications International with the same title. It has these differences. This copy has Reader's Digest Young Families on its otherwise identical cover. It includes five stories instead of six; The Cat That Walked by Himself is left out. The book thus concludes on 71, not 87, with only a The End page following. It does give credit on the verso of its title-page to Publications International, the publisher of the earlier book. The latter also holds the 2000 copyright. This title-page illustration includes the first picture from GA by Jason Wolff; the earlier volume's title-page had a picture from The Cat That Walked by Himself. This edition strangely drops mention of TMCM's story adapter, Lisa Harkrader, and its artist, Dominic Catalano, but includes the attributions of the other stories at the beginning of each. Even the endpapers are identical. This book includes TMCM, GA, and AL. The other stories are Brer Rabbit Outfoxes Brer Fox and Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. Here are some comments from that earlier volume. The tellings are lively and traditional. Full-page colored illustrations occur about every other page. Among the best illustrations are those showing Alistair, the city mouse, pulling the pillow over his ears in the early country morning. GA's grasshopper seems more interested in sleeping than in singing. He also steals food from the ants in summer. The ants promptly let the grasshopper in during the first snowfall, but they require that he work. His work is to sing for the ants, since winter is their time to play. Next summer he sings Summer work is slow and steady. But when winter comes, I'll be ready! Brer Rabbit's key line is Please throw me into the briar patch and Brer Fox's is Come with me and I will carry you.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)First printingIndividual stories adapted by Lisa Harkrader, Catherine McCafferty, Megan Musgrave, Sarah Toas

Jason vs GIJOE
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2019Jason vs GI JOE is partly an exercise in autobiography, an experiment in relational aesthetics, and an interdisciplinary artist project at the intersection of comic books, creative writing and performance art. This comic book, Jason vs. GIJOE, is a postmodern double erasure, based on the comic book GIJOE: Cobra II (Issue 1). The original pictures from the comic book have been removed, and replaced by a series of short narratives, describing autobiographical events from the life of the author: me, Jason. Speech bubbles from the original have been left to comment back over top of the stories, obscuring meaning but creating moments of unplanned dialogue. The comic is a readymade, twice erased: once to replace the drawings of the initial comic, and again when using the original dialogue bubbles to speak back to the narrative

The people behind the papers – Jason Ko and Daniel Lobo
No full textPlanarians grow when they are fed and shrink during periods of starvation. However, it is unclear how they maintain appropriate body proportions as their size changes. A new paper in Development investigates the differences between growth and shrinkage dynamics and builds a mathematical model to explore the mechanisms underpinning these two processes. To learn more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author, Jason Ko, and corresponding author, Daniel Lobo, Associate Professor at the University of Maryland.https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.20298
10461 Abstracts Collection and Summary – Schematization in Cartography, Visualization, and Computational Geometry
No full textThe Dagstuhl Seminar 10461 ``Schematization in Cartography,
Visualization, and Computational Geometry'' was held November
14--19, 2010 in Schloss Dagstuhl~-- Leibniz Center for Informatics.
The seminar brought together experts from the areas graph drawing,
information visualization, geographic information science,
computational geometry, very-large-scale integrated circuit (VLSI)
layout, and underground mining. The aim was to discuss problems
that arise when computing the layout of complex networks under
angular restrictions (that govern the way in which the network edges
are drawn).
This collection consists of abstracts of three different types of
contributions that reflect the different stages of the seminar;
(a)~survey talks about the role of schematization in the various
communities represented at the seminar, (b)~talks in the open
problem and open mic sessions, and (c)~introductory talks
Ep. #085 - Jason W. Moore
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cymene and Dominic talk capital and Vanilla Isis and then (11:21) we welcome to the podcast the one and only Jason W. Moore from Binghamton University, author of Capitalism in the Web of Life (Verso, 2015) and Anthropocene or Capitalocene? (PM Press, 2016). We chat with Jason about his most recent work, co-authored with Raj Patel, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things (U California Press, 2017), forthcoming this October. We talk about why he wanted to write a book for a broader audience, the problems with the “anthropocene” concept in the human sciences, how “capitalocene” can improve our thinking about world history, and how we can avoid vulgar materialism in critical environmental research and activism today. We cover the role that states and agriculture have played in shaping modern capitalism and Jason calls for a seriously engaged pluralism to tackle the urgent challenges of our era. We discuss the cheapening or thingification of life, capitalism as a gravitational field, the importance of frontiers, the violence of the Great Domestication, and why if green energy remains in the mode of “cheap fuel” nothing will change about capitalist accumulation. Jason explains why racial and gender domination are so often lacunae in critiques of petromodernity. Finally we ruminate on how to unmake the capitalist world-ecology and the key principles of the “reparation ecology” that Jason and his colleagues are calling for. Tired of the debate within the left about whether to prioritize jobs or the environment? Then you’ll want to listen on
