How âya gonna keep âem down on the farm -After theyâve seen Paree
Change is abroad across the land, as often destructive as constructive. No one is immune. The financial crisis is perhaps the most obvious wave of change, but as the title of this paper (and also the title of a song popular in America between World I and World War II1) suggests, the most pervasive, seductive, and subversive changes are fueled by the view of the wider world provided by the internet with its blogs and social networks. How âya gonna keepâem satisfied with a second-class life (or worse) after they have seen the luxuries and freedoms of the wider world? Knowledge is power, and frightening amounts of people-power can be marshaled via the internet. Tyrants fall and royal families quake in the face of so much focused intentionality. But even as freedoms are recovered, what are all the unemployed to do with that freedom, especially in those countries in which the average age is between late teens and early twenties â kids, really, with no prospects of the good life? Add to this the coming shortage of food, drinking water, and fuel and the resulting upward spiral of costs for lifeâs necessities, further imposing hardship on new members of âthe internet generation.â Social and political catastrophes are to be expected. What can the countries in âEuropeâs southern neighborhoodâ do to respond, to be proactive in the face of massive and predictable changes?predictable problems, proactive response, cross-border collaboration, food, fuel riots

Welcome to the Sunken Place
People of Color entering into the field of Student Affairs continue to face discrimination, racism, systematic oppression and microaggressions. The authors in this article aim to 1. highlight personal experiences, 2. relay some approaches that have paved way for folks within their positions to educate others who hold the power to make conscious decisions and changes for student affairs professionals, specifically People of Color. The article also references scenes from the movie, Get Out (Blum & Peele, 2017) which portrays Chris, a Black man, who is the protagonist and relate to the exploitation and isolation of many People of Color in the field today
A New Type of Photoelectric Colorimeter
A photoelectric colorimeter has been constructed which is capable of detecting small changes in the color of meat. With this apparatus it was possible to measure the variation in the color of meat as a function of the time of exposure to the air. The effects of temperature upon the color variation were also measured; and some data has been obtained showing the relation between the color and the grade of the meat
The Structures of Four Complexes of 2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-3,5- -heptanedione Containing One, Four, Four and Nine Cu(II) Ions
The structures of bis-(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato)
Cu(II) 1, di-fts-methoxy-di-Îź-methoxy-tetrakis [ (2,2,6,6-tetramethy 1 ~
-3,5-heptanedionato)Cu(II)] 2, Îź4-oxa-bispyrazolatotetrakis[(2,2,6,6-
-tetramethyl-3,6-heptanedionato)Cu(II)] 3, and hexa-Îź3-hydroxy-
-Îź6-(hydrogendioxo-0,0\u27)-nonakis[(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionctto)
Cu(II)] 4 were determined by X-ray diffraction techniques.
Compound 1 is a planar molecule with weak packing interactions
and high thermal motion due to the interactions between
the bulky t-butyl groups. The observed density is only 1.14 Mgm-s.
Compound 2 is a step tetramer concenptually derived from squareplanardimers in which the axial site of one Cu(II) ion in each
dimer is occupied by a bridging oxygen from an adjacent dimer.
Compound 3 has four Cu(II) ions tetrahedrally coordinated to a
central oxygen atom. Compound 4 has six Cu(II) ions occupying
the corners of a trigonal prism and three lying above the rectangular
faces. Six hydroxyl ions each coordinate three Cu(II) ions,
one from each end of the prism and one from the face. In the
center is an (0-H ... Of3 unit which trigonally binds the Cu(II)
ions on each end of the prism. The bulky t-butyl groups in the
four complexes effectively isolate the central Cu(II) ions from
any intermolecular interactions
Nitrogen supply and cyanide concentration influence the enrichment of nitrogen from cyanide in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)
Cyanide assimilation by the beta-cyanoalanine pathway produces asparagine, aspartate and ammonium, allowing cyanide to serve as alternate or supplemental source of nitrogen. Experiments with wheat and sorghum examined the enrichment of (15)N from cyanide as a function of external cyanide concentration in the presence or absence of nitrate and/or ammonium. Cyanogenic nitrogen became enriched in plant tissues following exposure to (15)N-cyanide concentrations from 5 to 200 microm, but when exposure occurred in the absence of nitrate and ammonium, (15)N enrichment increased significantly in sorghum shoots at solution cyanide concentrations of \u3e or =50 microm and in wheat roots at 200 microm cyanide. In an experiment with sorghum using (13)C(15)N, there was also a significant difference in the tissue (13)C:(15)N ratio, suggestive of differential metabolism and transport of carbon and nitrogen under nitrogen-free conditions. A reciprocal (15)N labelling study using KC(15)N and (15)NH(4)(+) and wheat demonstrated an interaction between cyanide and ammonium in roots in which increasing solution ammonium concentrations decreased the enrichment from 100 microm cyanide. In contrast, with increasing solution cyanide concentrations there was an increase in the enrichment from ammonium. The results suggest increased transport and assimilation of cyanide in response to decreased nitrogen supply and perhaps to ammonium supply
Digital storytelling and Co-creative Media: The role of community arts and media in propagating and coordinating population-wide creative practice
How is creative expression and communication extended among whole populations? What is the social and cultural value of this activity? What roles do formal agencies, community-based organisations and content producer networks play? Specifically, how do participatory media and arts projects and networks contribute to building this capacity in the contemporary communications environment
Biochemical Traits, 1H NMR Profile and Residual DNA Content of âAsprinioâ, White Wine from Campania Region (Southern Italy)
âAsprinioâ is a white dry wine characteristic for its acidity and aromatic flavour, known as emerging DOP wine in Southern Italy. Nevertheless, little information is available on the metabolomic profile of this wine. Thus, in this paper we evaluated the colourimetric parameters, 1H NMR profiles and free amino acids content of âAsprinioâ wines, bottled by two different wineries (hereafter âAsprinio_Aâ and âAsprinio_Bâ) collected in 2019 and 2020, using âGreco di Tufoâ for comparison. The colourimetric parameters are similar for both âAsprinioâ wines and differ from âGreco di Tufoâ wines. On the other hand, both 1H NMR and free amino acid content profiles show different chemometric profiles among the three wines analysed, although the profiles are similar for both vintages. Moreover, the multivariate analyses carried out highlight differences between âAsprinio_Aâ and âAsprinio_Bâ, which exbibit also different residual yeast and plant DNA. Overall, considering that the two-manufacturing wineries use 100% âAsprinioâ grape, the difference retrieved between the two âAsprinioâ wines could be explained by the different grapevine training systems: âvite maritataâ (training system inherited from Etruscans) for âAsprinio_Aâ and âguyotâ for âAsprinio_Bâ
