No big deal, happens all the time.īut the Department of Collegiate Fascism, aka the UTPD, are required to file a report. I was at the University of Texas' Perry Castaneda Library and it got lost amidst the shuffled stack of books which I dumped into my backpack when I left.

Our lab has developed a series of setups for automated behavioral tracking. ![]() This colony is in the brood care phase of the colony cycle, during which ants forage and tend the larvae, but do not lay eggs. The ants form a main cluster around the larvae, while some ants leave the cluster to explore and forage. A lone ant is exploring the environment in the foreground, while the main nest cluster can be seen in the background.Ī laboratory colony of clonal raider ants seen from above.

While I couldn’t justify bringing an American company to Victoria to perform Alice Munro, I was taken with the idea of the show. For over 20 years they have been putting short stories onstage “word for word,” and they wanted to bring to the Belfry their Alice Munro show. I was approached by Word for Word, a theatre company in San Francisco. In this world premiere, we’ll perform two of Alice’s short stories, word for word, in a unique theatrical event that celebrates her exceptional language and the audience’s imagination.

And how odd the directions will look! 'Oh, my poor little feet, I wonder who will put on your shoes and stockings for you now, dears? I'm sure I shan't be able!

Let me see: I'll give them a new pair of boots every Christmas.'Īnd she went on planning to herself how she would manage it. 'Curiouser and curiouser!' cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English) 'now I'm opening out like the largest telescope that ever was!
