\u3cem\u3eLaunching through the Surf\u3c/em\u3e Traveling Exhibit Panel 13: Blessing of the Fleet

Like many fishing communities, the Pacific City dory community honors its fleet, asks for bountiful and safe fishing for the coming season, and remembers those who have died during the year at the annual Blessing of the Fleet. The ceremony is held on the beach the first Saturday in June. In a similar vein, the community celebrates the dories and honors those who made significant contributions to the fleet and the community during the Memorial Wall Ceremony. This observance normally takes place during Dory Days. Panel 13 describes both of these events.https://digitalcommons.linfield.edu/dory_exhibit/1012/thumbnail.jp

BOOK REVIEW: DOCUMENTS OF THE SEVERIN MUNICIPALITY 1916-1920. AUTHORS: TUDOR RATOI AND NICOLAE CHIPURICI

The “Alma” Publishing House has recently issued a new edition of documents: the fifth volume of records belonging to the municipality of Turnu Severin, put together by Nicolae Chipurici and Tudor Ratoi, who have been working on this bountiful compendium since 2005. The collection brings forward 402 documents, written between 1916 and 1920, i.e. the time of the First World War and of the Romanian struggle to shape into a whole country.Turnu Severin, Romania

A study in sums of products

We give a general version of cancellation in exponential sums that arise as sums of products of trace functions satisfying a suitable independence condition related to the Goursat-Kolchin-Ribet criterion, in a form that is easily applicable in analytic number theory.Comment: v2; 41 pages; minor correction

Bursting the bubble : the pseudo- development strategies of microstates

Developing microstates are bountiful on the world political map today. Yet the concept of smallness, apart from being relativistic, conjures up a sense of deviation, indicative of a subtle discrimination which implicitly takes large to be normal and preferable. Based on an extensive yet selective literature review, this article suggests that the orthodox development paradigm, in both its liberal and radical traditions, has borne little relevance to small developing states, either in theory or in practice. On looking more closely at the survival strategies of developing micro-economies, it is proposed that a different conceptualization of ‘development’ is warranted; one which, for all its negative connotations, is both plausible and consistent with the peculiar practices of microstates.peer-reviewe

From bench to bountiful harvests : a road map for the next decade of Arabidopsis research

In the face of an increasing world population and climate instability, the demands for food and fuel will continue to rise. Plant science will be crucial to help meet these exponentially increasing requirements for food and fuel supplies. Fundamental plant research will play a major role in providing key advances in our understanding of basic plant processes that can then flow into practical advances through knowledge sharing and collaborations. The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana has played a major role in our understanding of plant biology, and the Arabidopsis community has developed many tools and resources to continue building on this knowledge. Drawing from previous experience of internationally coordinated projects, The international Arabidopsis community, represented by the Multinational Arabidopsis Steering Committee (MASC), has drawn up a road map for the next decade of Arabidopsis research to inform scientists and decision makers on the future foci of Arabidopsis research within the wider plant science landscape. This article provides a summary of the MASC road map

Creating a Culture of Philanthropy: Three Things to Keep in Mind

A culture of philanthropy is necessary for a nonprofit to be successful in 2016. Resources and funds are not so bountiful as they were in the past. Every nonprofit is different and has a different audience, but in general, there are three items to keep in mind while developing a philanthropic culture: 1) nonprofits should strategically plan their culture; 2) nonprofits should engage their own employees and volunteers in the culture; and 3) nonprofits must actively appreciate their donors, old and new
