Use in discovering structure of DNA Īccording to Raymond Gosling's later account, although photo 51 was an exceptionally clear diffraction pattern of the "B" form of DNA, Franklin was more interested in solving the diffraction pattern of the "A" form of DNA, so she put Gosling's photo 51 to the side. It was critical evidence in identifying the structure of DNA. The image was tagged "photo 51" because it was the 51st diffraction photograph that Franklin had taken. Photo 51 is an X-ray based fiber diffraction image of a paracrystalline gel composed of DNA fiber taken by Raymond Gosling, a graduate student working under the supervision of Rosalind Franklin in May 1952 at King's College London, while working in Sir John Randall's group. ![]()

![]() ![]() Betty Smith has, in the pages of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, captured the joys of humble Williamsburg life-from “junk day” on Saturdays, when the children of Francie’s neighborhood traded their weekly take for pennies, to the special excitement of holidays, bringing cause for celebration and revelry. By turns overwhelming, sublime, heartbreaking, and uplifting, the Nolans’ daily experiences are tenderly threaded with family connectedness and raw with honesty. ![]() Often scorned by neighbors for her family’s erratic and eccentric behavior-such as her father Johnny’s taste for alcohol and Aunt Sissy’s habit of marrying serially without the formality of divorce-no one, least of all Francie, could say that the Nolans’ life lacked drama. The beloved American classic about a young girl's coming-of-age at the turn of the twentieth century.įrom the moment she entered the world, Francie needed to be made of stern stuff, for the often harsh life of Williamsburg demanded fortitude, precocity, and strength of spirit. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first event, held in March of 1987, saw an expected 150 registrants swell to 700 on the opening day. The SXSW group expected initial resistance from the locals, but it was quite the opposite. A name was sought that was not restrictive in its concept.įinally, in October of 1986, the announcement of the first South By Southwest was made. For a local event to bring the world to Austin, it needed to have value everywhere. The solution being discussed was an event that would bring the outside world to Austin for a close-up view.Īs the key ideas were formed, recognition grew that Austin was not the only city where this was an issue. Inclusiveness and reaching for new things were core values. Music was the uniting factor, but the group had a catholic taste for art and ideas. A fundamental opinion shared by the group was that the local creative and music communities were as talented as anywhere else on the planet, but were severely limited by a lack of exposure outside of Austin. ![]() The meetings were in the offices of The Austin Chronicle, and participants were sworn to secrecy. That same year, a small group of people in Austin, Texas began a series of long discussions about the future of entertainment and media. 40 million music CDs were made and sold worldwide.

We find that when going upwind in heavy weather +30knots, a small yankee + staysail + mizzen (1 reef) is a great combination that will allow one to lie close to the wind for hours (days) and not even needing to use the autopilot or the windvane. On our ketch, we do have an inner forestay, hence it's a cutter-ketch rig. It would be interesting to make a detail cost study. However, the sails are smaller and easier to handle - hence hardware size goes down (and cost) - but it probably still is more expensive to have a ketch rig versus a cutter rig. Of course, the downside is that you get an extra mast, extra hardware, etc. If you are motoring or motorsailing, you can also use the mizzen as a windvane to reduce the need for autopilot. It's also been my experience that the mizzen on the ketch is a very valuable sail at anchor (to stabilize rolling and orient the bow to the wind), and also to get out of tight squeezes under sail (you can back it easy, etc.). ![]() ![]() Basically, there are more combination available to balance the sailplan with a ketch. I've had both types of sailplan and have to say that the ketch rig offers more flexibility than the cutter rig, especially in heavy weather. ![]() ![]() ![]() A registered nurse by education, she loves to help people and spread the enjoyment of romance to those around her with her novels. ![]() Finding new authors and delving into something different helps feed the need for literature.

A Year in Provence transports us into all the earthy pleasures of Provençal life and lets us live vicariously at a tempo governed by seasons, not by days”. ![]() He endures January’s frosty mistral as it comes howling down the Rhône Valley, discovers the secrets of goat racing through the middle of town, and delights in the glorious regional cuisine. National Bestseller summed it up this way: “In this witty and warm-hearted account, Peter Mayle tells what it is like to realise a long-cherished dream and actually move into a 200-year-old stone farmhouse in the remote country of the Lubéron with his wife and two large dogs. It was adapted into a mini-series by the BBC starring John Thaw and was credited with opening up a market for such other expatriate stories as Frances Mayes's Under the Tuscan Sun.

Stones, from this point of view, are considered to be responsible for the turning point of the patriarch’s loyalty. “Seeing the evident massacre of the first troop ― my father froze in his place and could not move” (210). Initially, stones were responsible at war for jamming the tanks’ tracks on the beach of Dieppe, which caused the antagonist of the story to desert combat. In fact, stones may be interpreted in many different ways and carry different symbolisms. Through contrast in symbolism and narrative point of view, Findley emphasizes on the deteriorated mental state of a loving dad, David, who, through a self-fulfilling prophesy, has become hated by those who surround him.įirst of all, as the title of the story points out, stones play a major role in the story. In Timothy Findley’s short story “Stones”, the author illustrates a deserter’s self-destruction through post-war trauma, which slowly transforms itself into a complete loss of sanity caused by the persecutions of his community. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He received his BAA in Photography/Media Studies from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) in 1982, and has since received both an Alumni Achievement Award (2004) and an Honorary Doctorate (2007) from his alma mater.
