Supergraphics. Sea Ranch and the proto-Pop authenticity

[EN] The end of the works of the Condominium I in 1965 supposes the conclusion of a Californian model of domesticity that goes a step further in its relation with the inhabitant through a last process of non tangible transformation of the space. To do this, Charles Moore, accompanied by William Turnbull and making his own home a training camp, goes in search of the authentic; an immersion in the perceptual possibilities provided by the pictorial, de-scaled or encrypted modification of spaces capable of being reread in surprising codes. The groundbreaking approach to the later Supergraphics takes shape at the facilities of the Moonraker Recreation Center thanks to the multidisciplinary collaboration of Lawrence Halprin and Barbara Stauffacher. There is a unique language and plastic daring here in a strange limbo, prior to the pictorial explosion of the posterous years that form a delicate and astonishing balance, definitely proto-Pop.[ES] El fin de las obras del Condominio I en 1965 supone la conclusión de un modelo de domesticidad californiana que da un paso más en su relación con el habitante a través de un último proceso de transformación no tangible del espacio.

Lewis in Storyland

It is the peculiar fate of a few celebrated authors, whose personalities as well as whose works fascinate us, to experience, posthumously, new literary careers as characters in other writers\u27 fiction. Such an author is Charles Dodgson, better known to many as Lewis Carroll, whose first of a score of appearances as a character in fiction occurred about 70 years ago. hardcore Carroll devotees, of course, already know all about all such fictional LC apparitions, but more casual Carroll enthusiasts may thank Seattle writer N. Lee for compiling a list of eleven novels and one feature film in which Dodgson figures as a major or minor character

Heritability of sex ratio manipulation in response to host size in the parasitoid wasp Muscidifurax raptor

Includes bibliographical references.Natural selection is the process by which organisms accumulate favorable traits that increase reproductive success. One factor that may influence reproductive success is the ability to manipulate one's offspring sex ratio. Sex ratio manipulation has been especially well-examined in parasitoid wasps, in which manipulation may be quite common.The host-quality model proposes that females will lay a greater proportion of daughters on large hosts than on small hosts because the large host will provide greater resources for the daughters and subsequently will increase their fitness or their ability to pass on their genes by increasing their egg production (Charnov et al., 1981). The parasitoid wasp Muscidifurax raptor exhibits this sex ratio pattern (Seidl and King, in press). However, in M. raptor no evidence was found to support the model's assumption that sex ratio manipulation gives a female a selective advantage over females that do not manipulate their offspring (Seidl and King, in press). In response to Seidl and King, I attempt to offer an explanation for sex ratio manipulation in the absence of selection for the behavior. This study shows no detectable genetic variation in maternal sex ratio manipulation in response to host size in M. raptor. This suggests an alternative hypothesis to the host quality model—that offspring sex ratio manipulation persists only because there is a lack of genetic variation to do otherwise.B.S.

Interview of Charles A. Desnoyers, Ph.D.

Dr. Charles Albert Desnoyers (b. 1952) was born and raised in North Plainfield, New Jersey with his parents and five younger siblings. He attended St. Joseph’s Parochial School and North Plainfield High School for the duration of his primary school education; it was in North Plainfield High School where he began showing an interest in history, due to the influences of his history teachers. He later attended Villanova University, changing to a sociology major after a year of general sciences. His graduation from Villanova University with a minor in history led him down the path to getting a Ph.D. and teaching at Temple University. In 1988, he graduated from Temple University with a Ph.D. in Modern Chinese History, at the same time finding employment with La Salle University. For the next twenty or so years, Dr. Desnoyers would work in La Salle’s history department, rising to chair the History Department for nine years and continuing to serve La Salle in a mentoring and organizational capacity. Dr. Desnoyers is involved in La Salle’s Travel Studies program, and in his spare time, he plays with the band Boris Garcia
