The High Water Mark of Social History in Civil War Studies

Just hours before the Army of Northern Virginia raised the white flag at Appomattox Court House, Confederate Colonel Edward Porter Alexander approached his commanding officer, Robert E. Lee, with what he hoped was a game-saving plan. Rather than suffer the mortification of surrendering, Alexander begged Lee to scatter his men across the countryside like “rabbits & partridges” where they could continue waging war, not as regular Confederate soldiers, but as elusive guerrilla fighters. Lee listened patiently to his subordinate’s reasoning for irregular warfare. Before Alexander finished, he reminded Lee that the men were utterly devoted to their commanding general, and that such loyalty would continue to inspire the sacrifice of more blood, even if it meant taking to the woods and fighting like common outlaws. When Alexander concluded his impassioned plea, Lee asked his subordinate to imagine what would happen if he turned Alexander’s suggestion into official policy. But before Alexander had a chance to respond, Lee reminded him that virtually every Southern community had been overrun by Union armies, that farms were in disarray, and that crops were ruined. Lee feared that his veterans, upon returning home, would have no choice but to plunder and rob for survival. It would take no time for his disciplined army to descend into a demoralized mob that would take the rest of the South into a downward spiral of unending and unrestrained violence. “As for myself,” Lee concluded, “while you young men might afford to go to bushwhacking, the only proper & dignified course for me would be to surrender myself & take the consequences of my actions.” [excerpt

ANALISIS KEMENANGAN LEE CHONG WEI DALAM PERTANDINGAN MELAWAN CHEN LONG Fajar Ahsani ABSTRAK Olahraga Bulutangkis merupakan olahraga yang paling digemari di Indonesia setelah sepakbola. Bulutangkis adalah olahraga yang dimainkan oleh dua orang (untuk tunggal) atau dua pasang (untuk ganda), untuk memainkan olahraga ini kita harus mengetahui teknik-teknik dasar seperti servisforehand pendek, servisforehand tinggi, underhand, lob, smash, dropshot, netting dan juga backhand. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analisis deskriptif untuk mengetahui teknik yang digunakan Lee Chong Wei dan Chen Long dalam Pertandingan Yonex sunrise Hongkong Open 20 November 2015, Celcom Axiata Malaysia Open 10 April 2016, dan Dong Feng Citroen Badminton Asia Championships 1 Mei 2016. Dari hasil penelitian analisis kemenangan Lee Chong Wei dalam pertandingan melawan Chen Long menunjukkan bahwa dalam 3 pertemun Lee Chong Wei mendominasi jalannya permainan. Serangan Lee Chong Wei lebih tersusun rapi daripada serangan Chen Long, serangan Lee Chong Wei dimulai dengan teknik servisforehand pendek, netting, dan smash. Chen Long sering kehilangan konsentrasi jika sudah terkena serangan Lee Chong Wei. Kata kunci: Analisis, Bulutangkis, Pertandingan Bulutangkis, Teknik bulutangkis.

Comment on "Scaling of the quasiparticle spectrum for d-wave superconductors"

In a recent Letter Simon and Lee suggested a scaling law for thermodynamic and kinetic properties of superconductors with lines of gap nodes. However their crossover parameter between the bulk dominated regime and the vortex dominated regime is different from that found in our paper (N.B. Kopnin and G.E. Volovik, JETP Lett., {\bf 64}, 690 (1996); see also cond-mat/9702093). We discuss the origin of the disagreement.Comment: submitted to Physical Review Letters as "Comment" to the paper by S.H.

Letter, Samuel H. Pope in Shuqualak, Mississippi, to William Hollinshed Lee, at the Officer\u27s Hospital in Uniontown, Alabama. Pope is stationed in Shuqualak as Purchasing Commissary. He invites Lee to visit Columbus and mentions that he can stay with Mrs. Morrow (Pope\u27s mother-in-law) and \u27\u27Miss Clodie\u27\u27 (Clotille Morrow). He wonders if Lee can work out a transfer to the hospital in Columbus. \u27\u27All excitement from Raids has subsided.\u27\u27 Sam Battle Fort was shot through both shoulders in November and was \u27\u27unable to push on a coat.\u27\u27 Pope explains why didn\u27t receive his recent mail in a timely way; when he telegraphed Lee, he had \u27\u27just returned from a tour of inspection on horse back, through the interior of the state.\u27\u27 1865.https://scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/mss-san-lee-sar-papers/1002/thumbnail.jp

The Next Edition of IHO-S-57 (4.0): A Primer

The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) is an intergovernmental consultative and technical organization that was established in 1921 to support the safety of navigation and the protection of the marine environment. IHO Special Publication 57 (IHO S-57) is the IHO Transfer Standard for Digital Hydrographic Data. It is the standard to be used for the exchange of digital hydrographic data between hydrographic offices (HOs), and for the distribution of hydrographic data to manufacturers, mariners and other data users (e.g., GIS). It was developed so that the transfer all forms of hydrographic data would take place in a consistent and uniform manner. To date, S-57 3.0/3.1 has been used almost exclusively for encoding Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs) required for ECDIS. However, S-57 is intended to support all types of hydrographic data. In order to do so, S-57 Edition 3.1 needs to expand in order to accommodate new requirements. This “Primer” explains what is planned in regard to the next edition of IHO S-57 (Edition 4). In particular, it provides a brief description about process required to align with ISO geospatial standards and the benefits to be gained. Included is an explanation about the scope of activity of the TSMAD S-57 Edition 4 Sub-WG, and how others may contribute to the process
