TextaQueen's name comes from their choice of medium, which is felt-tipped pen or Texta. This large-scale Texta drawing on paper, 'Sub-Cultural Charms (Self portrait)' 2013, is exemplary of the artist's use of symbolism and decorative detail to tackle political issues such as sexuality, gender and race. The artist's work also has a performative flare, evidenced by their adoption of the superhero persona, TextaQueen, which can be seen in their animated portraits.

As I landed at Tocumen International Airport 20 miles from the city Friday morning, I saw the first evidence of what is happening here--the national Panamanian flag at halfstaff for students killed in two...

PANAMA CITY -- (UPI -- Panama severed diplomatic relations with the United States Friday night and opened a campaign to drive it out of the Panama Canal Zone after two days of bloody fighting between U. S. troops and Panamanian civilians.

The first time Gordy and I met was at an art show at Queensland Aboriginal Creations in the late 1980s - before he went to art college. He was working for the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service as a ranger. I remember him because there weren't many blackfella park rangers around at that time, and we've been friends ever since. Years later in 2004, Gordy was the first artist invited to join proppaNOW, the Brisbane-based Aboriginal art collective, with Jennifer Herd, Vernon Ah Kee and myself.

Organic matter in the Mississippian black shale-hosted Zn-Pb deposit at the Red Dog Mine in northwest Alaska participated both as an active chemical reductant and as a passive migrating hydrothermal petroleum in the ore-mineralization process. Removal of organic matter from the center of Red Dog mineralization through generation and expulsion of hydrothermal petroleum is indicated by blebs of solid bitumen entrained in exhalite facies and by higher organic carbon (Corg) contents (7.7 to 18.4%) in proximal shales on the perimeter of the deposit. A contrast between the mean [special characters omitted] values of sulfide-hosted bitumen (−30.1‰) and organic matter in distal shale (−29.5‰) is inferred to reflect 13C-enrichment of the residual organic matter (−29.1‰) during generation of hydrothermal petroleum with a conversion efficiency of 44%. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses demonstrate the dominance of polycyclic aromatic (PAH) and polyaromatic organosulfur compounds (PAOSC) characteristic of hydrothermal petroleum within the deposit. Established maturity parameters such as the Methylphenanthrene Index (MPI-1) and the Methyldibenzothiophene Ratio (MDR) indicate elevated thermal maturity within the deposit compared to distal and outlying shales. Other, unconventional maturity parameters calculated from ratios of various PAH and PAOSC help define an elongate thermal halo including Red Dog. Sphalerite and galena in sulfide rock, silica rock, and barite rock have [special characters omitted] values consistently near 0‰, suggesting a deep homogenous source of reduced sulfur. The specific enrichment of Zn and Pb in the deposit, however, implies a sedimentary source of metals. A trend toward more positive [special characters omitted] values of sphalerite, galena, and pyrite in perimeter shales implies partial reduction of descending seawater sulfate and abiogenic sulfide precipitation, whereas isotopic values lower than about −15‰ imply bacterial sulfate reduction and early diagenetic precipitation of biogenic sulfides. Geothermometry calculations based on [special characters omitted]sphalerite-galena values suggest sulfide mineralization over a range of temperatures from 74° to 207°C. A sedimentary source of metals and igneous source of heat and sulfur imply that the Red Dog deposit hydrothermal mineralization resulted from ongoing accumulation of a metalliferous black shale followed by localized elevation of the thermal gradient and initiation of hydrothermal convection.

A study of published records and personal fieldwork indicate that the breeding range of the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher is expanding, particularly toward the northeast. Although some of the past records are vague and inaccurate, this expansion is not altogether a recent phenomenon. The detailed records for the spread of this species into Missouri since 1955 are given together with a compilation of known breeding data. The species is now known to breed in 10 western counties of the state. Records for recent expansion into other states on the periphery of the range are summarized.
