| *Christgau's Record Guide* | B+ |

| *Entertainment Weekly* | A |
| *Record Collector* |  |
| *The Rolling Stone Album Guide* |  |

*The Dictators Go Girl Crazy!* has been well-received critically and is considered a precursor to punk rock. In its retrospective review, AllMusic notes that while the album was confusing to audiences at the time of its release, it became inspirational for dozens of groups to follow. *Trouser Press* enthused that the band deserves "scads of credit" for "blazing a long trail, melding the essentials of junk culture... with loud/hard/fast rock'n'roll and thus creating an archetype". According to a 2001 article in *The Village Voice*, the album's "blueprint for bad taste, humor, and defiance" has been replicated in the work of such bands as the Ramones and Beastie Boys.

*Trouser Press* lauded the album as a "wickedly funny, brilliantly played and hopelessly naïve masterpiece of self-indulgent smartass rock'n'roll". *Entertainment Weekly* wrote: "*Go Girl Crazy*'s junk-generation culture and smart-aleck sensibility did provide an essential blueprint for '70s punk. With its TV references and homely vocals, this ground-breaking and long-unavailable album continues to inspire underground groups everywhere." Canadian journalist Martin Popoff enjoyed the album and considered the Dictators "more obviously comedians than musicians", "with a sense of self-deprecating humor poking sticks at the seriousness of heavy metal".

Dave Marsh was less enthusiastic though, describing the record as a "banal collection of recycled 'Pipeline' instrumentals coupled with a vocalist who sounds, yes, precisely like a yowling wrestler on Saturday afternoon TV" in *Rolling Stone*, and giving the album zero stars in *The Rolling Stone Record Guide.*

### Influence

In addition to this early punk rock influencing the style to come, the album was also one of two factors influencing the creation of *Punk* magazine by John Holmstrom and music journalist Legs McNeil. In *Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk*, McNeil said that the album so resonated with him and his friends that they started the magazine strictly so they could "hang out with the Dictators".

# Semantic Sensor Web

The **Semantic Sensor Web** (**SSW**) is a marriage of sensor web and semantic Web technologies. The encoding of sensor descriptions and sensor observation data with Semantic Web languages enables more expressive representation, advanced access, and formal analysis of sensor resources. The SSW annotates sensor data with spatial, temporal, and thematic semantic metadata. This technique builds on current standardization efforts within the Open Geospatial Consortium's Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) and extends them with Semantic Web technologies to provide enhanced descriptions and access to sensor data.

## Semantic modeling and annotation of sensor data

Ontologies and other semantic technologies can be key enabling technologies for sensor networks because they will improve semantic interoperability and integration, as well as facilitate reasoning, classification and other types of assurance and automation not included in the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards. A semantic sensor network will allow the network, its sensors and the resulting data to be organised, installed and managed, queried, understood and controlled through high-level specifications. Ontologies for sensors provide a framework for describing sensors. These ontologies allow classification and reasoning on the capabilities and measurements of sensors, provenance of measurements and may allow reasoning about individual sensors as well as reasoning about the connection of a number of sensors as a macroinstrument. The sensor ontologies, to some degree, reflect the OGC standards and, given ontologies that can encode sensor descriptions, understanding how to map between the ontologies and OGC models is an important consideration. Semantic annotation of sensor descriptions and services that support sensor data exchange and sensor network management will serve a similar purpose as that espoused by semantic annotation of Web services. This research is conducted through the W3C Semantic Sensor Network Incubator Group (SSN-XG) activity.

## W3C Semantic Sensor Networks

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) initiated the Semantic Sensor Networks Incubator Group (SSN-XG) to develop the Semantic Sensor Network (SSN) ontology, intended to model sensor devices, systems, processes, and observations. The Incubator Group later transitioned into the Semantic Sensor Networks Community Group. It was then picked up in the joint OGC and W3C Spatial Data on the Web Working Group and published as a W3C Recommendation.

The Semantic Sensor Network (SSN) ontology enables expressive representation of sensor observations, sampling, and actuation. The SSN ontology is encoded in the Web Ontology Language (OWL2). A number of projects have used it for improved management of sensor data on the Web, involving annotation, integration, publishing, and search.

## Context

Sensors around the globe currently collect avalanches of data about the world. The rapid development and deployment of sensor technology is intensifying the existing problem of too much data and not enough knowledge . With a view to alleviating this glut, sensor data can be annotated with semantic metadata to increase interoperability between heterogeneous sensor networks, as well as to provide contextual information essential for situation awareness. Semantic web techniques can greatly help with the problem of data integration and discovery as it helps map between different metadata schema in a structured way.

## Uses

Semantic Sensor Web (SSW) technologies are utilized in fields such as agriculture, disaster management, building management and laboratory management.

### Agriculture

Monitoring various environmental attributes is critical to the growth of plants. Environmental attributes that are critical for growers are mainly temperature, moisture, pH, electric conductivity (EC), and more. Real-time monitoring in addition to setting alerts for the mentioned sensors was never possible. With the creation of SSW, growers can now track their plant growing conditions in real-time.

An example of such advancement in agriculture through utilization of SSW is the research conducted in 2008 on Australian farms where temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed, wind direction and rainfall were monitored using SSW methodology. The architecture of this research project consists of personal integration needs, Semantic web, and more in addition to semantic data integration, i.e. where data is centralized to make sensor semantic web technologies meaningful and useful.

### Building management (smart buildings)

Managing buildings can be quite sophisticated, as the cost of fixing damages is significantly higher than having proper monitoring tools in place to prevent damages from happening. SSW allows for getting notified of water leaks, controlling apartment temperature via smartphone, and more.

### Laboratory management

Managing laboratory tests can be quite challenging, especially if tests take place over a long time, across multiple locations, or in infrastructures where many tests occur. Such tests include creep tests for a material, reaction tests of a certain chemical or wireless transmission tests of a circuit. Advancements in SSW allow for real-time monitoring of laboratory variables via sensors. Such sensors can take more than one factor into consideration before alerting. For example, an alert can go off when pressure and temperature both exceed a certain limit, or an alert can go off when pressure in one building drops, yet pressure in another building remains the same.

## Notable contributions

Standardization is a lengthy and difficult process, as players in a field that have existing solutions would see any standardization as an additional cost to their activities. Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), an international voluntary consensus standards organization that was founded in 1994, is making efforts to enhance and accelerate the growth of the SSW community and standardize sensor information across web. Most OGC standards depend on generalized architecture that is collectively captured in set of documents. The goal of OGC is to provide enhancements in description and meaning of sensor data. Also, OGC had enabled Sensor Web communication. OGC is in charge of creating open geospatial standards. Moreover, OCG is supported by industry, government, and academic partners to allow for easy creation of geo-processing technologies known as “plug and play”.

## Current challenges

Current challenges in the SSW field include a lack of standardization, which slows down the growth rate of sensors created to measure things. For the semantic sensor web to be meaningful, the languages, tags, and labels across various applications, developed by various developers, must be the same. Unfortunately, due to scattered development of various architectures, such standardization is not possible. This problem is called vastness.

There is also the problem of inconsistency, such that when changing the architecture of an existing solution, the system logic will no longer hold. In order to resolve this problem, there is a need for an extensive amount of resources (depending on the size and complexity of system). For example, many existing systems use twelve bits to transfer temperature data to a local computer. However, in a SSW 16 bits of data is acceptable. This inconsistency results in higher data traffic with no additional accuracy improvement. In order for the old system to improve, there is a need of allocating extra bits and changing the buffer requirements, which is costly. Assuming the resources required to make the tag requirement are available, there is still the existence of unnecessary data that requires additional storage space in addition to creating confusion for other SSW members. The only solution remaining is changing the hardware requirements, which requires a lot of resources.

title: Simone Yoyotte

abstract: Simone Yoyotte, also known as Symone Monnerot, was a Martinican poet and intellectual. Born in Martinique, she settled in Paris, where she joined the literary scene. She was the only woman to participate in the literary journal Légitime Défense, co-founded in 1932 by the Martinican writers Étienne Léro, René Méril, and Jules Monnerot—who would later become her husband. Légitime Défense was considered foundational to the Négritude movement, and its members also advocated for communist revolution while condemning the French-speaking black bourgeoisie. She helped drive women's contributions to this literary movement, alongside other female writers such as Yva Léro; Paulette, Jeanne, and Andrée Nardal; and Suzanne Césaire. Her brother Pierre Yoyotte was also a surrealist poet. She is recognized as the first woman of African descent to participate in the Surrealist movement, publishing her work in the Surrealist periodical Le Surrealisme au service de la revolution in the early 1930s. Yoyotte died very young in 1933, only a few months after her marriage to Jules Monnerot. Little is known about her life, but her work marks a significant turning point in Caribbean literature. It has also influenced the work of later writers including China Miéville.

# Simone Yoyotte

**Simone Yoyotte** (c.1910 – 1933), also known as **Symone Monnerot**, was a Martinican poet and intellectual.

Born in Martinique, she settled in Paris, where she joined the literary scene. She was the only woman to participate in the literary journal *Légitime Défense*, co-founded in 1932 by the Martinican writers Étienne Léro, René Méril, and Jules Monnerot—who would later become her husband. *Légitime Défense* was considered foundational to the Négritude movement, and its members also advocated for communist revolution while condemning the French-speaking black bourgeoisie. She helped drive women's contributions to this literary movement, alongside other female writers such as Yva Léro; Paulette, Jeanne, and Andrée Nardal; and Suzanne Césaire. Her brother Pierre Yoyotte was also a surrealist poet.

She is recognized as the first woman of African descent to participate in the Surrealist movement, publishing her work in the Surrealist periodical *Le Surrealisme au service de la revolution* in the early 1930s.

Yoyotte died very young in 1933, only a few months after her marriage to Jules Monnerot.

Little is known about her life, but her work marks a significant turning point in Caribbean literature. It has also influenced the work of later writers including China Miéville.

## *Légitime Défense*

*Légitime Défense,* the literary journal written by Yoyotte and the other Martinican students, focused on anti-colonialism, especially in the context of French Imperialism. French authorities essentially banned the journal by suspending the students' grants. This ensured that no more copies could be printed and distributed, especially to the Caribbean. The journal has not been examined as extensively as some other Surrealist journals from this period and has been criticized by some for failing to advocate for the independence of Africa or the Caribbean, and on the grounds that its ideas are derived from Marxism. However, this early criticism mostly comes from scholarship that may be considered Eurocentric and may need reexamining.

title: Étang de Berre

abstract: The Étang de Berre is a brackish water lagoon on the Mediterranean coast of France, about 25 kilometres (16 mi) north-west of Marseille.

text:
# Étang de Berre

The **Étang de Berre** (\[e.tɑ̃  bɛʁ\], "Lagoon of Berre"; in Provençal Occitan: *estanh de Bèrra / mar de Bèrra* according to classical orthography, *estang de Berro / mar de Berro* according to Mistralian orthography) is a brackish water lagoon on the Mediterranean coast of France, about 25 kilometres (16 mi) north-west of Marseille.

## Geography

The lagoon covers an area of 155.3 km2 (60.0 sq mi). Created by the rise in water levels at the end of the Last Glacial Period (colloquially known as the last ice age), this small inland sea is composed of three parts: the principal body of water, the *Étang de Vaïne* to the east and the *Étang de Bolmon* to the south-east.

The Étang de Berre is fed with fresh water by the rivers Arc, Touloubre and Cadière and  since 1966  by Électricité de France's Canal EDF de la Durance. Two canals link it to the Mediterranean, the open air Canal de Caronte leading towards Port-de-Bouc and the Canal de Marseille au Rhône which leads towards L'Estaque through the Rove Tunnel; the Rove Tunnel has been closed since 1963, after a section of the tunnel collapsed.

The Marseille Provence Airport is located in the southeast portion of the Étang de Berre, with its main runway extending into the water on reclaimed land.

## Administration

Ten communes border the Étang de Berre: Istres, Miramas, Saint-Chamas, Berre-l'Étang, Rognac, Vitrolles, Marignane, Châteauneuf-les-Martigues, Martigues and Saint-Mitre-les-Remparts.

## History

The ancient name of the Étang de Berre was *Stagnum Mastromela*, according to Pliny the Elder (Book III \[34\]).

title: The D Case

abstract: The D Case, Or The Truth About The Mystery Of Edwin Drood is a humorous literary critique of Charles Dickens' unfinished work The Mystery of Edwin Drood, first published in Italy in 1989. Written in the form of a novel, by Italian authors Carlo Fruttero and Franco Lucentini, the book explores the Dickens mystery from the perspective of many famous literary detectives, such as C. Auguste Dupin, Sherlock Holmes, and Hercule Poirot, all of whom come to their own conclusions regarding how the tale might possibly have ended. The novel presents the criticism in a postmodern style by alternating between chapters of the Fruttero and Lucentini work and the original unfinished story by Dickens. This is established under the setting of a convention that has been organized by affluent Japanese patrons to finish unfinished works of art. The chapters of The Mystery of Edwin Drood are presented in the frame of this story as being read to those in attendance of this seminar. In the alternating chapters written by Fruttero and Lucentini, the aforementioned literary detectives discuss their theories and ask questions regarding the possible clues to the story's conclusion. The conclusion that the book ultimately comes to does not offer any serious answer to the story's possible ending; however, the preceding chapters offer criticism that examines the text in a way that is both accessible and academic.

title: Castilleja coccinea

abstract: Castilleja coccinea, commonly known as scarlet Indian paintbrush or scarlet painted-cup, is a biennial flowering plant in the Orobanchaceae (broomrape) family. It is usually found in prairies, rocky glades, moist and open woodlands, thickets, and along streams in central and eastern North America.

# Castilleja coccinea

***Castilleja coccinea***, commonly known as **scarlet Indian paintbrush** or **scarlet painted-cup**, is a biennial flowering plant in the Orobanchaceae (broomrape) family. It is usually found in prairies, rocky glades, moist and open woodlands, thickets, and along streams in central and eastern North America.

## Description

It is an upright, hairy, 1-to-7-decimeter (3.9 to 27.6 in) tall hemiparasitic plant. In its first year, the plant appears as a basal rosette, and in the second year the stem, usually unbranched, rises from the rosette. The basal leaves are oblong and mostly entire, and usually die before the flowers appear. The alternate stem leaves are deeply and irregularly lobed and measure up to 8 cm (3 in) long. The common names for this plant reflect the showy red bracts, inside of which is the actual greenish-yellow corolla ("flower").

*Castilleja coccinea* can be distinguished from other *Castilleja* of the southeastern US because it has a 2-to-3.5-millimeter (0.08 to 0.14 in) long, thin yellowish or orangish lip on the corolla, the inflorescence bracts are deeply lobed, and the basal rosettes of leaves are usually well-developed.

## Etymology

The genus name *Castilleja* is from the 18th-century Spanish botanist, Domingo Castillejo. The specific epithet *coccinea* is Latin for 'red'.

## Distribution and habitat

*C. coccinea* is native throughout the central and eastern United States, from Oklahoma to the west, Florida to the south, Maine to the east, and the Canadian border to the north. It is listed as endangered in New York, Connecticut, and Maryland, It is critically imperiled in New Jersey, West Virginia, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, presumed extirpated in Maine and new Hampshire, and possibly extirpated in Louisiana, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. It is native in Canada in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario, although it is critically imperiled in Saskatchewan.

It is found in prairies, rocky glades, moist and open woodlands, thickets, and along streams.

## Ecology

*C. coccinea* have color polymorphism, which means that they can be yellow or scarlet in color, and this depends on the availability of pollinators such as bees. When pollinators are present, the scarlet *C. coccinea* tend to have a higher reproductive output, as they have higher seed and fruit set. On the other hand, the yellow *C.coccinea* would have a higher reproductive output when pollinators are scarce.

Though it can survive on its own, studies indicate a forty-fold growth increase when its roots parasitize those of another plant for nutrients. It is primarily pollinated by ruby-throated hummingbirds who can transfer the pollen long distances between typically small and scattered populations of this plant.

title: Uroporphyrinogen III decarboxylase

abstract: Uroporphyrinogen III decarboxylase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the UROD gene.

text:
# Uroporphyrinogen III decarboxylase

**Uroporphyrinogen III decarboxylase** (**uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase**, or **UROD**) is an enzyme (EC 4.1.1.37) that in humans is encoded by the *UROD* gene.

## Function

Uroporphyrinogen III decarboxylase is a homodimeric enzyme (PDB: 1URO) that catalyzes the fifth step in heme biosynthesis, which corresponds to the elimination of carboxyl groups from the four acetate side chains of uroporphyrinogen III to yield coproporphyrinogen III:

uroporphyrinogen III $\rightleftharpoons $ coproporphyrinogen III \+ 4 CO2

## Clinical significance

Mutations and deficiency in this enzyme are known to cause familial porphyria cutanea tarda and hepatoerythropoietic porphyria. At least 65 disease-causing mutations in this gene have been discovered.

## Mechanism

At low substrate concentrations, the reaction is believed to follow an ordered route, with the sequential removal of CO2 from the D, A, B, and C rings, whereas at higher substrate/enzyme levels a random route seems to be operative. The enzyme functions as a dimer in solution, and both the enzymes from human and tobacco have been crystallized and solved at good resolutions.

UroD is regarded as an unusual decarboxylase, since it performs decarboxylations without the intervention of any cofactors, unlike the vast majority of decarboxylases. Its mechanism has recently been proposed to proceed through substrate protonation by an arginine residue. A 2008 report demonstrated that the uncatalyzed rate for UroD's reaction is 10−19 s−1, so at pH 10 the rate acceleration of UroD relative to the uncatalyzed rate, i.e. catalytic proficiency, is the largest for any enzyme known, 6 x 1024 M−1.

# Saraswati (magazine)

***Saraswati*** was the first Hindi monthly magazine of India. Founded in 1900, by Chintamani Ghosh, the proprietor of Indian Press, in Allahabad, its success under the editorship of littérateur Mahavir Prasad Dwivedi (1903–1920), led to flourishing of modern Hindi prose and poetry especially in Khariboli dialect. It became the most influential periodical in the Hindi literature during the first two decades of the 20th century.

## History

Based in Georgetown, Allahabad, Ghosh founded Indian Press in 1884, mainly to published educational books, though gradually shifted to publishing general interest books. However, Ghosh didn't have much experience in publishing literary works. Thus in late 1899, he wrote to *Nagari Pracharini Sabha* in Varanasi, which worked for promotion of Devnagari script, seeking help with editor and writers for founding a literary Hindi magazine. Eventually, first issue of Saraswati was published on 1 January 1900. The other famous Hindi publications of Indian press was children's magazine Balsakha, weekly newspaper "Deshdoot", magazines for farmers "Hal" etc.

Indian Press was also the earliest promoters and publisher of Rabindranath Tagore's work, including *Geetanjali*, whose rights he held till 1922 before transferring it to Viswa Bharati University. Dwivedi, the doyen of modern Hindi literature, remained its editors from 1903 to 1920, and provided a platform for upcoming writers in Hindi, where many writers of repute, including Premchand and Maithili Sharan Gupt got published. Through the magazine, he not only gave a new direction to Hindi literature by bringing in his social reformist agenda, but also exerted his lasting influence of the formation of style and sensibility during this twenty-year period of Hindi literature. Today it is known as "Dwivedi Yuga" (Age of Dwivedi) after him. Other eminent editors of Saraswati were Padumlal Punnalal Bakshi of Rajnandgaon, Thakur Srinath Singh and Devidutt Shukl.

In 2013, President of India, Pranab Mukherjee while unveiling a statue Ghosh at Jagat Taran Girls' Inter College, Allahabad, remembered his "great contribution towards promoting Hindi language and literature."

*Saraswati* folded in 1975. It was revived in 2020 and is now being published by Indian Press. In 2020 Devendra Shukla was appointed its editor. In January 2022 Ravi Nandan Singh and Anupam Parihar were appointed editor of the magazine.

# United Arab Emirates at the 2016 Summer Paralympics

The United Arab Emirates sent athletes to the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 7 September to 18 September 2016.

## Disability classifications

Every participant at the Paralympics has their disability grouped into one of five disability categories; amputation, the condition may be congenital or sustained through injury or illness; cerebral palsy; wheelchair athletes, there is often overlap between this and other categories; visual impairment, including blindness; Les autres, any physical disability that does not fall strictly under one of the other categories, for example dwarfism or multiple sclerosis. Each Paralympic sport then has its own classifications, dependent upon the specific physical demands of competition. Events are given a code, made of numbers and letters, describing the type of event and classification of the athletes competing. Some sports, such as athletics, divide athletes by both the category and severity of their disabilities, other sports, for example swimming, group competitors from different categories together, the only separation being based on the severity of the disability.

## Archery

The country sent athletes to the 2015 International Wheelchair and Amputee Sports Federation (IWAS) World Games in Sochi, Russia as part of their 2016 qualifying campaign.

## Athletics

Several athletics from the United Arab Emirates were in the qualification hunt for the 2016 Games. Part of their qualification efforts involved participating in the Athletics IPC Grand Prix Competition 2014. Among these athletes was 2004 Paralympian and world record holder Hamda Al Hosni, who has had epilepsy since she was two years old. Other UAE athletes working on their qualifying campaign at the event include Siham Al Rasheedi and Aisha Al Khalidy. Siham is a member of the Dubai Club for the Disabled and competed at the 2012 Summer Paralympics. Aisha is a member of Khor Fakkan Club and competed at the 2013 IPC Athletics World Championships.

Thuraya Al Zaabi, the first woman to represent the UAE at the Paralympics when she represented the country in 2008, attempted to qualify for Rio at the Doha 2015 IPC Athletics World Championships in the javelin and shot put. She took up sport at the age of 29 after having a stroke.

The country sent athletes to the 2015 International Wheelchair and Amputee Sports Federation (IWAS) World Games in Sochi, Russia as part of their 2016 qualifying campaign.

## Shooting

The first opportunity to qualify for shooting at the Rio Games took place at the 2014 IPC Shooting World Championships in Suhl. Shooters earned spots for their NPC. The United Arab Emirates earned a qualifying spot at this competition in the R7 – 50m rifle 3 positions Men SH1 event as a result of Obaid Aldahmani winning a bronze medal. Abdulla Sultan Alaryani gave the UAE a second berth for Rio in the R3 – 10Mm Air Rifle Prone Mix SH1 event. Abdulla Saif Alaryani finishing gave the country a third shooting spot in Rio after his finish in the R6 – 50m Rifle Prone Mixed SH1 event.

The third opportunity for direct qualification for shooters to the Rio Paralympics took place at the 2015 IPC IPC Shooting World Cup in Sydney, Australia. At this competition, Saif Alnuaimi earned a qualifying spot for their country in the R6- Mixed 50m Rifle Prone SH1 event.

# Ramblin' Fever

***Ramblin' Fever*** is a studio album by American country music singer Merle Haggard, released in 1977. It was his first on the MCA label after recording for Capitol Records since 1965. It was also his first album without crediting the Strangers. It reached Number 5 on the Country album chart. *Ramblin' Fever* was reissued on CD in 2002.

## Background

Haggard had enjoyed an immensely successful artistic and commercial run with Capitol and producer Ken Nelson, accumulating twenty-four #1 country singles since 1966. According to music journalist Daniel Cooper's essay for the 1994 Haggard retrospective *Down Every Road*, there was no animosity or disillusionment with the Capitol brass, and the change was made simply because MCA had made a better offer. In his 2013 Haggard biography *The Running Kind*, David Cantwell notes that by the latter half of the 1970s the singer had placed forty-three singles on *Billboard'*s country charts, had won the Country Music Association's top prize, "Entertainer of the Year," had been pardoned by California governor Ronald Reagan, had performed for President Richard Nixon, and had made the cover of *Time* magazine, and in response, "He ran. As the Seventies wound to an end, he was more restless than usual.... He even moved to Nashville for a while, and in 1978, divorced Bonnie Owens and married Leona Williams. Then, in 1979, he announced he was quitting music entirely." Haggard's tenure with MCA would be far shorter than his stay at Capitol; he would sign with Epic Records in 1981.

## Recording and composition

Haggard's final two Capitol albums, *My Love Affair with Trains* and *The Roots of My Raising*, contained only two Haggard-written songs, a far cry from his earlier albums when he would routinely compose most of the songs himself. *Ramblin' Fever* only features a couple Haggard originals: the southern rock-tinged title track, which rose to #2 on the country charts, and "I Think It's Gone Forever," a co-write with Leona Williams. "I wrote it at Leona Williams' house in the Seventies there one afternoon," Haggard remembers in the 1987 concert video *Poet of the Common Man*. "I don't recall what in the hell caused me to write it." His first single at MCA, "If We're Not Back In Love By Monday," had also peaked at #2. According to Daniel Cooper's *Down Every Road* liner notes, Haggard hated his vocal on the Sonny Throckmorton tune. In his 1999 memoir *My House of Memories*, Haggard wrote of the song: "That one rose to number two for two weeks in 1977, but its melody sounded too much like "If We Make It Through December", which was number one for four weeks in 1973."

# Rasor Off-Highway Vehicle Area

**Rasor Off-Highway Vehicle Area** is a remote public use area for the off-highway vehicle user located in the Mojave Desert about 50 miles (80 km) east of Barstow, California, administered by the Bureau of Land Management.

Besides the remote nature of the area, another attraction is the historic 19th century Mojave Road which traverses the riding area into the Mojave National Preserve.

Rasor has rolling hills, open valleys, and sand dunes that invite riders willing to travel through this remote area. Elevations range from near 2,427 feet (740 m) elevation down to around 1,275 feet (389 m) elevation at the Mojave River. Vegetation consists of creosote bush scrub, some annual grasses and wild flowers.

## Location

The area is located at 35°06′32″N 116°08′37″W / 35.108780°N 116.143630°W / 35.108780; -116.143630 between Interstate 15 and the Mojave National Preserve, about 25 miles (40 km) southwest of Baker. Access roads are Basin Road and Rasor Road east of the I-15. Both of these roads are graded dirt roads.

## Activities

Most visitors ride motorcycles or ATVs, drive sandrails or tour the area in four-wheel drive vehicles. The easily accessed areas off the Rasor Road exit are used extensively for OHV and sand rail staging and play. Due to the remoteness of the area, there have been no requests for competitive event permits, leaving this area exclusively for casual riders.

There are many opportunities for hiking, rock scrambling, rockhounding, and plant, bird and wildlife watching. There are desert tortoise, a state and federally listed threatened species, in the riding area.

There are many deep mine shafts in the riding area. Camping is allowed anywhere within the riding area that does not block travel on a road.

## Afton Canyon Natural Area

The Afton Canyon Natural Area, managed by the Bureau of Land Management, is located where the Mojave River surfaces due to bedrock. Afton Canyon is designated as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern to protect plant and wildlife habitat, and to preserve scenic values of the Mojave River's riparian area within the canyon.

The Rasor Off-Highway Vehicle Area establishment and use has begun to reverse the heavy off-road vehicles use and damage that occurred in the riverbed and canyon. Restoration projects are ongoing, and have already brought the river's "proper functioning condition" from a "non-functioning" to a "functioning at risk" status. The objectives of the ambitious restoration project are to control exotic plants, particularly the phreatophyte Saltcedar - Tamarix (primarily *Tamarix ramosissima* and *T. parviflora*), and restoring critical desert California native plant community "structural elements" for a functioning flora and fauna habitat.

### Climate

According to the Köppen climate classification, Shallowater has a semiarid climate, *BSk* on climate maps.

## History

As early as 1909 J. C. (Jim) Bowles, whose ranch was adjacent to the site of what is now Shallowater, persuaded Bob Crump, a member of a ranching family, to help form a townsite company and attract a railroad to go through the area. Land was purchased for the townsite on May 18, 1909. A school was built at that time. After Santa Fe railroad officials received a bonus from rancher George W. Littlefield of the Yellow House Ranch, negotiations were finally completed. The originators of the plan, and other interested individuals, formed the Ripley Townsite Company, which was named after a Santa Fe railroad official, and was incorporated on May 22, 1909. The company decided to name the new town Shallowater to attract settlers. On June 26, 1913, a celebration was held to note the founding of the town and completion of the railroad. By the time the town was established, the ranching industry in the area was waning, and many of the large ranches were being divided into smaller lots for farmers. Cotton became an important cash crop. During the 1920s, Shallowater grew rapidly, and the town had a hotel, a lumberyard, and various filling stations, grocery stores, cotton gins, drugstores, barbershops, garages, blacksmith shops, and other businesses. Several churches and schools were also built. A county park with a clubhouse was established, a public well was constructed, and a real depot building was built to replace the boxcar the town had been using for years. From 1920 to 1922, the railroad station was known as Pacita. In 1928, the town had an estimated population of 250. In 1955, Shallowater was incorporated with a mayor-council form of city government, and during the 1960s, the town had five churches, a school, a bank, a library, and a newspaper. The community in 1970 had 30 businesses, including one of the largest hatcheries in the county. The population of Shallowater was 1,001 in 1960 and 1,339 in 1970. In the late 1980s, Shallowater had a post office, 17 businesses, and a population of 2,107. It was a farm marketing center with processing and storing facilities. In 2010, the population was 2,484.
