Of Gravity and Geese
2017
On 1 August 2008, a small island in the River Ob, south of Novosibirsk, Ljuba Beliazkaia sat in a chair equipped with an anemometer and other meteorological instruments. Clad in protective gear akin to a hazmat suit, the professional parachutist was also tethered to 13 specially trained white geese arranged in a haphazard V-formation. The whole scenario--the geese, the parachutist, the instrumented chai--was orchestrated by German installation artist Agnes Meyer-Brandis. For years, Meyer-Brandis had been intrigued by the perceptions and realities around gravitational anomalies.

There are so many things to love about Guelph
by
Ratcliffe, Susan
in
Meyer, Agnes
2010
The heart of my Guelph is its rivers. I walk through my back gate and stroll with my dog through the wooded paths contemplating the river's beauty and history as it meanders through the centre of the city. I can ride my bike along its well-kept trails from the Hanlon to Victoria Road and beyond enjoying the forests planted by groups like OPIRG. All around me while I'm walking or shopping or doing errands are Guelph's glorious heritage buildings, their warm yellow limestone making our city an architectural treasure beyond compare. The magnificence of Church of our Lady, the four-square walls of The Albion with its ghosts and secret tunnel, the gracious splendour of the old city hall newly revealed give our city an ambience without compare in Ontario. All the rivers and landscapes and buildings are empty spaces without wonderful people, and Guelph's people make it a special community. We are blessed with a myriad of talent: musicians; artists and authors; architects; scholars and tradespeople, who create a cultured atmosphere rare in such a small town. Hundreds of volunteers and caring citizens give their time in the arts, sports and worthy causes for children and the diseased.

A Time of Quiet Activism: Research, Practice, and Policy in American Women's Higher Education, 1945-1965
2005
Eisenmann explores the story of Agnes Meyer, Kate Hevner Mueller, and Mary Church Terrell, which reflects issues on how women faced when, as educators, they tried to plan curricula and programs for female students and when, as professionals, they tried to manage their own careers in an era that frequently sent mixed messages about women's roles and opportunities. They also reveal a quiet type of activism practiced by postwar women educators, an approach which often pales in comparison to the firmer efforts of post suffrage and World War II activist. He argues that this more muted style, when combined with the era's predilection for individualized solutions to women's concerns, marks a particular postwar approach to advocacy that may be different from other eras but that suited the contextually complicated postwar period.

ALAN M. TURING'S CRITIQUE OF RUNNING SHORT CRIBS ON THE US NAVY BOMBE
2003
Declassified documents from the \"Crane Collection\" at the National Archives (USA) reveal much of the cryptanalytical collaboration that defeated the German Naval Enigma machine. As researchers continue to work through these papers, new light is shed on that relationship. In May, 2002 a manuscript, typed and handwritten, by Alan M. Turing was found by the author in the \"Crane Collection\". Written at the time of his United States visit during the winter of 1942-1943, it reflects Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) interests and skepticism regarding the US Naval Intelligence (OP-20-G) effort to independently design and construct its own rapid analytical machines (RAMs).
