Basalt lava flows of the intraplate Newer Volcanic Province in south-east Australia (Melbourne region): 40Ar/39Ar geochronology reveals ~8 Ma of episodic activity

Intraplate basaltic volcanism is one of the most common, yet poorly understood, types of volcanism. Intraplate continental basaltic volcanic provinces (ICBVPs) typically comprise tens to hundreds of usually monogenetic, small-volume eruption centres, often cumulatively producing significant volumes of mainly primitive basaltic magmas. A wide range of mechanisms have been invoked to account for ICBVP melt generation, ranging from deep mantle plumes to local tectonic perturbations of the lithospheric mantle. The key to understanding the cause(s) of intraplate volcanism is understanding the geochemical evolution of magmatism within a regional tectonic framework. Unfortunately, many ICBVPs contain complex arrays of overlying lava flows, with uncertain eruption sources and a lack of precise age constraints.The Newer Volcanic Province (NVP) in south-eastern Australia is a young (~4.6 Ma–5 ka), geochemically and volcanologically diverse ICBVP, comprising ≥416 volcanic centres covering an area of ~23,000 km2. As with other ICBVPs, elucidating the underlying controls on magmatism has proved contentious, with recent studies favouring edge-driven convection, but divided as to the changing nature of volcanism. At the eastern boundary of the NVP, in the Melbourne area, previous work has indicated a complex network of lava flows representing almost the entire age and geochemical range of the NVP, making this an ideal microcosm for studying the evolution of the NVP.In this study, a holistic approach to lava flow mapping is utilised to unravel the complex network, incorporating diagnostic petrography, geochemistry and precise 40Ar/39Ar geochronology. This work reveals seven major lava flows, here named the Tullamarine, Redstone Hill, Aitken Hill, Mount Kororoit, Fenton Hill, Tulloch Hill and Mount Fraser flows, along with eight smaller-volume flows, here named the Pretty Sally, Green Hill, Bald Hill, Mount Cooper, Mount Ridley, Crowe Hill, Springs Hill and Summerhill Road flows. 40Ar/39Ar ages for eleven lava flows and eruption centres span an age range of 7.9–0.8 Ma. These new data reveal that alkalic, small-volume eruptions in the Melbourne area occurred exclusively between ~8 and 3.8 Ma. Post ~3.8 Ma, large-volume, tholeiitic eruptions dominated. A local progression from alkalic to tholeiitic volcanism is contrary to a province-wide progression from tholeiitic to alkalic volcanism inferred by previous studies.The earliest four eruptions (ca. 8 Ma) were aligned with the Cosgrove hotspot track and are probably unrelated to the broader NVP. The ages and geochemical variations of the younger flows are consistent with melt generation due to edge-driven convection. Magma composition might have been controlled by local perturbations within the convective cell, with tholeiitic magmas generated during high-degree melting in regions of more intense upwelling, and alkalic melts reflecting lower-degree melting and less-intense upwelling. The episodic nature of volcanism is likely due to restricted magma transport to the surface, which was only possible during brief periods of favourable tectonic conditions.

Teaching Hemingway and Race ed. by Gary Edward Holcomb (review)

Reviewed by: Teaching Hemingway and Race ed. by Gary Edward Holcomb Alyssa Young Gary Edward Holcomb, ed. Teaching Hemingway and Race. Kent State UP, 2018. 142 p. How do we take the works of America's machismo male figure, Ernest Hemingway, and utilize them strategically with pedagogical objectives for enlightening students about race? As an English Composition instructor, I feel the urgent need to verse my students in the topic of race, and how it appears in texts. Unfortunately, there is a lack of material that provides examples of literature and pedagogical strategies for teaching about the presence of race. That is, until I found Teaching Hemingway and Race, part of Kent State University Press's The Teaching Hemingway Series. The series exhibits varying topics found within [End Page 207] Hemingway's works, which include gender, modernism, war, race, and more. Teaching Hemingway and Race contributes a vital lens of pedagogical approaches to teachers, instructors, and professors alike who seek a detailed guide for how to instruct students about race. Divided into two categories, the essays describe accounts of teaching experience in accordance with the goal of instruction on race. Holcomb introduces a synthesis and general overview, giving the audience a framework to have in mind. The pedagogical category features essays on approaches with strategies to teach students how to read and interpret representations of race and ethnicity. All chapters have a clearly stated purpose and a rationale for support. The second category compares the writings of Hemingway and similar raceoriented authors, and demonstrates how to use them together in the classroom. Marc Dudley's essay guides instructors in teaching "The Battler," and provides background, "Hemingway works as an impressionist of sorts, painting character and landscape for striking sensory effect; but he also works as a reporter, a historian, and sometimes a political agitator, looking both to document and manipulate truth for optimal psychic effect" (8). This information gives teachers who are not familiar with Hemingway's life and work the foundation to appreciate his writings and contributions made to teaching race. Analysis of the characters of ethnic background helps students form questions and thoroughly dissect "The Battler" to discover how it portrays race. Dudley maintains explanations of his academic moves in the classroom and details what students gain from each reading and exercise. Margaret Wright-Cleveland elaborates on the unique racial education Hemingway received while living in Oak Park, Illinois, which ultimately influenced his works (16) and builds the foundation of historical events in order to apply them to activities such as the Critical Race Theory. Ross Tangedal addresses the lack of scholarly attention pertaining to race, and encourages attentive reading from students towards complexities of race in literature. He analyzes the benefits that "Death in the Afternoon" and "Green Hills of Africa" bring to the classroom. After reading the works, he suggests questioning students about the roles of the fighter's ethnic backgrounds and characterizations, and states the imperative nature of the activity, "If race is to be understood in either work, attention must be given to [End Page 208] Hemingway's treatment of his experts and their activities," noting that experts were people of ethnic background (39). The remaining three pedagogy chapters follow suit by detailing historical context, introducing the works analyzed, explaining the sections that make students uncomfortable, encouraging instructors to push through to ensure that they arrive at the cognitive state to ask intelligent questions, and expounding upon the final understanding of the lesson. I suspect that the first category of essays is more appealing to instructors who are seeking step-by-step outlines of how to approach a lesson and focus on race because of the introduction of learning outcomes, scaffolding recommendations, and exact questions that should be used. The comparison category contains entries on teaching Hemingway's work in combination with the texts of additional authors who write about race. Each essay begins with the objective and personal interests of the essayist, and the learning outcomes they hope to stimulate within their classrooms. These comparisons act less as a guide and instead present the commonalities between Hemingway and additional writers. The essays integrate the topics of the Harlem Renaissance, dislocation and questions of...

Mechanical properties of oil palm waste lightweight aggregate concrete with fly ash as fine aggregate replacement

Environmental degradation posed by fly ash (FA) disposal from coal power plants and shell from the oil palm fruit processing trade is non-trivial. The destruction of flora and fauna resulting from the extraction of river sand and granite aggregate from the green hills in an uncontrolled fashion for the production of concrete that is widely used in the construction industry does also require a solution. Introducing oil palm shell (OPS) and fly ash as a mixing ingredient in zero granite lightweight aggregate concrete production is an appealing notion. Success in utilising the available solid waste would reduce dumping of these by-products and consumption of natural aggregates, thus ensuring the preservation of the environment for the future generation. Therefore, this research explores the influence of FA content as sand replacement towards the mechanical and durability properties of agro-based lightweight concrete. Five concrete mixes with FA quantity ranging from 0% to 40% were prepared. Two forms of curing procedure were practised viz. water and indoor air curing. All the mixes were tested for fresh and hardened characteristic as well as sulphate resistance. The test results demonstrated that a substitution of 10% sand with FA yielded better mechanical properties and denser concrete with more resistant to sulphate attack in comparison to the control mix. The utilisation of two industrial waste materials such as FA and OPS may address the issue of paucity of natural resources that is experienced in the construction industry, particularly in the case of natural granite and river sand.

Quality of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Due to Grafting in Solanaceae of Different Species

The present work had as objective to evaluate the physical-chemical characteristics of commercial tomato fruits grafted on different solanaceous species. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, in a randomized complete block design, with four blocks and six treatments, being the rootstocks: cocona (Solanum sessiliflorum); two cultivars of eggplant (Solanum aethiopicum), Long Light Green and Big Hill; jurubebão (Solanum lycocarpum) and jurubeba juna (Solanum stramonifolium), grafted with the tomato cultivar Santa Cruz Kada, and the control treatment was represented by the self-grafted tomato. Three consecutive harvests were spaced seven days after the production stabilization, and the characteristics fruits analyzed were Total Soluble Solids (ºBrix), pH, Titratable Acidity (percentage of citric acid) and TSS/TA. A statistically significant difference was found in the Tukey’s test at 5% probability in the titratable acidity, pH and fruit pulp flavor, among the evaluated treatments, while the soluble solids content did not differ between treatments in any of the harvests, but the values remained within the considered adequate for the tomato in natura in the current literature. There was a decrease in fruit flavor in all treatments, and fruit pH drop in all treatments with the exception of jurubebão, with the advancement of plant age, while the titratable acidity had an inverse behavior. The evaluated rootstocks can be used in the tomato crop, without prejudice to the quality of the tomato fruit produced.

Phylogenetic classification and generic delineation of Hydeomyces desertipleosporoides gen. et sp. nov., (Phaeosphaeriaceae) from Jebel Akhdar Mountain in Oman

Specimens of a new pleosporalean taxon were obtained on the bark of Juniperus excels from the northern mountains of Oman; from the Jebel Akhdar (‘Green Hills’). Sequence analyses based on the regions of large subunit rRNA (LSU), small subunit rRNA (SSU), translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF) and internal transcribed spacers (ITS) were performed to resolve the phylogenetic relationships of the new taxon in Phaeosphaeriaceae. The data concluded that the taxon represents a novel genus of the family Phaeosphaeriaceae and the generic name Hydeomyces and the species name H. desertipleosporoides are introduced for the new taxon. An outline of the characters which differentiate the new genus from phylogenetically closely related genera Dematiopleospora and Dlhawksworthia is given and its morphology of asexual and sexual morphs is described.

Ciudad Grande (Big City) by Tuline G�lg�nen Ana �lvarez (review)

Film Review: Ciudad Grande (Big City) 180 Ciudad Grande (Big City) A film by Tuline Gülgönen and Ana Álvarez (2017). Mexico City: Center of Mexican and Central American Studies and the French Embassy in Mexico. 31 minutes. https://ciudad-grande-documental.tumblr.com What we know of Mexico City, a megacity of nine million people, tends to be gained from socio-spatial descriptors: congestion, population, density, air pollution, crime. Yet here, in the 31-minute film Ciudad Grande, producers/directors Tuline Gülgönen and Ana Álvarez set out to show us how children observe and experience the city, through the eyes of five sets of children living in vastly different delegations of the city. In so doing, they show us poignant vignettes not only of the challenges of their lives, but also the opportunities and potentials of the city as a place for children. The film is loosely organized into three sections that juxtapose children’s experiences moving about, playing in public spaces, and experiencing nature in the city. Our entry to Mexico City looks like this: Riding the bus through the maze of Mexico City traffic while reading aloud the advertisements and store names we pass by. Chipping icy fruit treats with a wrench in a worn colonial courtyard. Kicking a ball in a quiet street with the backdrop of dogs barking and the green hills above Iztapalapa. Scootering through the tree-lined and cobbled streets of Coyoacán. Roller-blading through the smooth tile halls of a high-rise, talking through a walkie-talkie to mom. In the first five minutes, we see just how different these children’s experiences are. The producers’ technique of using drones to zoom in and out from children’s experiences helps us to witness children’s lives not only from the child’s perspective but also from the urban context in which they live. These aerial views give a sense of the urban form, greenery, topography, and density of each neighborhood and help us relate this context directly to children’s experiences of the city. This technique also helps us transition from one zone of the city to another. We leave the social play of children in a colonial courtyard playing a hand-clap game, laughing as they sing, “my school, my home, the WORLD!” and move to the isolation of life in the high rise with one girl peering through plate glass windows out at the megacity saying, “Here there is a swimming pool, two Jacuzzis, and a changing room.” Through the plate glass, we see an empty pool; an outdoor courtyard with glass walls several stories high separates the development from its surrounding community. Film Review: Ciudad Grande (Big City) 181 What was documented in 1980 by Berg and Medrich—that children in more affluent neighborhoods within the city of Oakland, California, were more isolated in their play than children in a more degraded but socially networked part of the city— continues to be true in many cities today. In Ciudad Grande, we see this in the experiences of a child in the isolation of her high rise; children being escorted through streets, by bus, by car, by family members; and children who are able to move about on their own. These variations lead to different experiences of the city: watching the city through the windows of a bus; making a pretend call from the phone on the sidewalk as you pass by; playing ball with a friend until someone tells you “watch out: someone is watching you.” There is no one city, only distinct experiences of it. Producer Tuline Gülgönen has also studied children’s experiences of the street and public spaces with colleague Yolanda Corona. Together, they describe children in more affluent neighborhoods having significantly less independent mobility than children in a less affluent one. In Ciudad Grande, we experience these differences directly and profoundly. In their research, Gülgönen and Corona (2015) also found that children’s ideal vision of the city was one with extensive nature. The aerial views in the film help us to see the greenery and topography of each delegation, and children’s small scale experiences of...

Try to bow like a dead man petitioning to see grass again. Collect laughter and unstifle it. Who told you that, I want to ask, was it about the stain above my pocket? Drink more acid, rub the oily yellow peel over my hands before washing, not say "hands" too often, let them linger on my shoulder without thinking we're figures hanged in a cave together, and buy some house shoes. To be my own conduit, a single louse caught in a wave, trying to say yes. At dawn I put on my face again. I breathe out faded envelopes.

Teaching Hemingway and Race ed. by Gary Holcomb

Reviewed by: Teaching Hemingway and Race ed. by Gary Holcomb Ian Marshall Teaching Hemingway and Race. Edited by Gary Holcomb. Kent UP, 2018, 248 pp. $35.00. In her seminal book, Race and Identity in Hemingway's Fiction, Amy L. Strong argues that "[o]pening the canon and recovering texts by women and people of color must happen concurrently with new readings of traditional texts" (13-14). Teaching Hemingway and Race has managed to do just that, deftly combining new readings of Hemingway's classic texts with lesser read ones and shedding new light on writers of color and the ways in which Hemingway influenced, and was influenced by them. The collection, edited by Gary Holcomb, follows in a line of books in the "Teaching Hemingway" series and is focused primarily on the subject of "race." As intimated in the Forward, written by the series editor, Mark, P. Ott, and noted in the introduction, written by Holcomb, the "collection intends to provide a practicable means for teaching the subject of race in Hemingway's writing and related texts, from how to approach ethnic, nonwhite international, and tribal characters to how to teach difficult questions of racial representation, without apology for Hemingway's sometimes troubling representation of race" (2). Its other objective is to "offer strategies to assist the instructor in teaching the contemporary student reader, trained to read through the multicultural studies lens, how to work through these troubling representations" (3). That this book tackles issues of race, racism, multiculturalism, and identity in the way that it does, makes it essential reading for anyone interested in twentieth century or contemporary American literature, as well as for anyone interested in how a study of literature might provide an opportunity for dialogue, across disparate political, cultural, racial, and ethnic lines. The first part of the book (the first six of the ten essays), as Holcomb points out, is dedicated to questions of pedagogy. The remaining four essays "considers Hemingway's work in conversation with writings by black authors" (3). These, in some ways, are reminiscent of Holcomb's Hemingway and the Black Renaissance collection. The first essay, "Reading Between the (Color) Lines: Teaching Race in Hemingway's 'The Battler'" by Marc Dudley, tackles the thorny issue of racist language in Hemingway's fiction head on. Dudley takes us through a series of pedagogical steps he employs to prepare his students to read what he readily identifies as a bizarre, yet brilliant and complex text. He concludes that, because Hemingway drew on an historical newspaper account and changed one of the people presented in that account from white to black, he made [End Page 110] "this story expressly about race" (10). Dudley asks his students to probe why Hemingway so aggressively uses racial epithets in this story, and ultimately suggests to them that it is "both a false flag and a deliberate directive by the writer" (12). The racist language, then, demonstrates Hemingway's complex use of contemporary attitudes toward racial representation, and shows Bugs as both unmistakably Black, yet also unmistakably controlling in the text. The second essay, "Teaching Hemingway Short Stories through the Lens of Critical Race Theory" by Margaret E. Wright-Cleveland is focused on Hemingway's In Our Time, and excellent pedagogical strategies for the teaching of it that probe deeply into the text and the author, and the student's engagement with both. The essay grounds In Our Time in an understanding of a "racial education" and uses essential ideas from Critical Race Theory to teach the constructedness of race. The pedagogy described in this essay asks students to consider how their own society constructs races, ethnicity, social class, and nation (17) and invites them to explore in a comparative way, Hemingway's Oak Park as his first racial context. "Hemingway's Experts: Teaching Race in Death in the Afternoon and Green Hills of Africa" by Ross K. Tangedal "presents a teaching approach for Hemingway's complex nonfiction texts with a critical eye toward the complication of race" (30). Tangedal argues that Hemingway's depiction of race through his "experts" Belmonte, the Zuritos, Droopy, and M'Cola asks critics and readers to address the development of racialized characters...

Weathering of granitic gneiss: A geochemical and microbiological study in the polluted sub-tropical city of Rio de Janeiro

Chemical and biological weathering were studied on two historic churches in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The churches exhibited contour scaling, granular disintegration and black crust development. High levels of SO4 were found in façade stones of one church, São José, with significant levels of lead and copper. This suggests that vehicle emissions were important in stonework decay. Both gypsum and halite were detected, typical of buildings influenced by marine atmosphere and fuel-polluted environment. There was little bioweathering on this church, although the filamentous cyanobacterium Scytonema detected could be involved in black crust production. The other church (Nossa Senhora da Gloria) showed strong granular disintegration, with a green coloration on internal surfaces of some flakes removed for study. This church showed lower levels of geochemically important weathering compounds but was more colonized by fungi and cyanobacteria. The latter were shown by scanning electron microscopy to grow within the granitic gneiss stone and were probably involved in dissolution and redeposition of minerals. This church is rather far from the intense traffic of the centre of Rio de Janeiro and from Guanabara Bay, source of marine aerosols; it is located upon a green hill, where plant-associated fungi and cyanobacteria can readily gain access to the façade. The results of this study show the importance of local environment on the relative proportions of chemical and biological weathering of stone.

Daniel Streeter, Charles P. Curtis, and Stewart White in Green Hills of Africa

Although Ernest Hemingway is not usually considered a source-bound writer, in Green Hills of Africa Hemingway employed by name three safari writers both within his discussion of literary art and as sources for the African experience overall: Daniel W. Streeter, Charles P. Curtis, Jr., and Stewart Edward White. Amateur adventurer Streeter’s facetious (and often offensive) tone in Denatured Africa led Hemingway into similar patterns of treating hunting and race. In four different books but especially in The Rediscovered Country, professional adventure writer White offered Hemingway examples of landscape and hunting experiences that ranged from journalistic to literary. And Hemingway’s personal friend Curtis not only underpinned Green Hills through the book he wrote with his brother, Hunting in Africa East and West, but also was an enthusiastic supporter of Hemingway’s African adventure both as it unfolded and as it became a book.

Sustainable Tea at Ambootia: A Case Study

Nestled amid the lush green hills of Kurseong in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal, Ambootia, is a family owned tea estate that has a long tradition of working with nature and not against it. Established by the British in the mid-19th century Ambootia was famous for producing some of the best Darjeeling teas till the 1960s and 70s. But, by the 1980s, tea quality and yield started declining due to neglect and heavy dependence on chemical farming. In 1985, its annual production fell to 100 tonnes from about 250 tonnes earlier; the estate was on the verge of financial ruin. This case discusses the turnaround of the Ambootia group from near bankruptcy in 1984 - 85 as being a signature label found in exclusive stores found all around the world today.

Obituary Bon voyage, Monsieur Glissant!

Now where has he gone, the ripe old man who, once, as a child, descending the rounded swell of green hills, ventured down to the sea and out to the world, taking with him the voice of the wind, the roar of the sea and the blood of the land?
