In what ways do paces of movement shape places, and how do different places shape their movements' paces? The objective of this paper is to provide exploratory answers to these questions by focusing on the mobility constellations of ferry-dependent islands and coastal communities of Canada's west coast. I focus on the slower temporalities and spatialities of mechanized technologies of mobility by drawing upon research conducted for a larger ethnographic project aimed at understanding the multiple roles played by ferry mobilities in the lives of British Columbia's ferry-dependent islands and coastal residents. Boats' rhythms, speed, and the duration of journeys occasion the conditions for the cultivation of an empirically unique region-specific sense of time. Within this ethnographic context ferry boats serve as technologies through which residents of island and coastal communities weave distinct place temporalities and mobility constellations. Islanders and coasters employ the affordances of ferries to break away from the place temporalities typical of the city. Such movement toward separation from the urban is what I refer to as moving 'out of time'. Moving 'out of time' is done in order to tune into the alternative insular and coastal temporal regimes deemed more desirable by the locals. Such movement toward attunement is what I refer to as moving 'in time'.

Susan E. Tifft and Alex S. Rose's 'The Trust: The Private and Powerful Family Behind the New York Times' is reviewed.

This essay highlights a number of societal, teleological, aesthetic and metaphysical dimensions of literary creation, which resist classification or the demands of the times. On the basis of observations of the spiritual and ideological postulates of the contemporary era, the author tries to decode the place and the essence of literature in its anthropological unchangeable state, both in a diachronic and synchronic aspect.

This article explores the political importance of embracing a notion of hope in a time of growing authoritarianism across the globe. It defines hope as the ability to both mobilize what might be called a democratic imaginary and a notion of hope rooted in a realistic assessment of what it means to engage in forms of struggle for economic and social justice, both pedagogically and politically. We argue that hope is the bases for agency and that without hope, there is no agency of possibility of civic engagement and struggle.

Quite often, time series appear warped in time, i.e, although they may exhibit amplitude and shape similarity, they appear dephased in time. The most common algorithm to overcome this challenge is the Dynamic Time Warping, which aligns each sequence prior establishing distance measurements. However, Dynamic Time Warping takes only into account amplitude similarity. A distance which characterizes the degree of time warping between two sequences can deliver new insights for applications where the timing factor is essential, such well-defined movements during sports or rehabilitation exercises. We propose a novel measurement called Time Alignment Measurement, which delivers similarity information on the temporal domain. We demonstrate the potential of our approach in measuring performance of time series alignment methodologies and in the characterization of synthetic and real time series data acquired during human movement. ; publishersversion ; published

This grounded theory study examined how 20 newly divorced, nonresidential fathers manage their fatherhood identities. The theory created from this study proposes that fathers' perceptions of (a) father‐child relationships, (b) how their children's fiscal needs are met, and (c) barriers to their physical interactions with their children influence their fatherhood identities. In spite of all fathers identifying themselves as involved, three types of fathers emerged: full‐time fathers, part‐time full‐time fathers, and part‐time fathers. The findings suggest that men's conceptualizations of father involvement are influenced by their postdivorce experiences with nonresidential fatherhood.

This article examines the temporal dimension of waste in Henry Mayhew's London Labour and the London Poor as an instance of how modernity has produced a largely hidden domain of the non-identical and indeterminate. Through a consideration of the phenomena of uselessness, decay and poverty I argue that the temporal dimension of waste is constituted as a corrosive or malign `Deadly Time'. In placing such emphasis on time directed towards death, I aim to show that Mayhew's undisciplined researches can be seen as a valuable source for understanding why modern thinking struggles to come to terms with waste.
