Saunders Theatre Program collection, 1914-1964
No full textThis collection contains programs and newsclipping reviews of various theatrical performances appearing in Little Rock between 1914-1962. Programs include plays, minstrel shows, movies, vaudeville shows, operas, musicals, recitals, concerts, follies, revues, local amateur shows, lectures, ballets, magic shows, readings, etc. These shows were performed by both local groups and traveling troupes. Theatres include the Kempner, Little Rock High School, and Robinson Auditorium. The newsclipping reviews are from the Arkansas Gazette, Arkansas Democrat, and the Memphis Commercial Appeal (traveling troupe usually played in Memphis before coming to Little Rock). Also included are two notebooks by Saunders: 1) List of performances at the Kempner and Robinson Auditorium, 1917-1958, and (2) personal reviews of performances, 1926-1933. There are programs (i.e., New York, Chicago, St. Louis, etc.) from performances Saunders attended in other cities. The collection also contains two scrapbooks, c. 1900-1913 covering early moving pictures and movie stars, and theatrical performances in St. Louis, Missouri. The scrapbooks were started by Mattie Dicks, mother-in-law of Earl Saunders. They were continued by Margarite Dicks Saunders while her family lived in St. Louis before moving to Little Rock.UALR.0104 A-107

The scrapbooks were started by Mattie Dicks, mother-in-law of Earl Saunders. They were continued by Margarite Dicks Saunders while her family lived in St. Louis before moving to Little Rock. Born in Stuttgart, Arkansas October 20, 1892, Earl Saunders, Sr. was raised in Little Rock. Saunders married Margarite Dicks and they had one son, Earl Saunders, Jr. After working for Becks, a retail store, Saunders joined the S. M. Brooks Advertising firm. He became vice-president and stayed with the company 44 years until his death May 2, 1962. One of his responsibilities at S. M. Brooks Advertising was to prepare the programs for the theatrical performances appearing in Little Rock. Saunders served as President of the Young Business men's Association, Director of the 10th District Federation of America Advertising, and Director of the Salvation Army Board. His life-long infatuation with the circus and theatre is best characterized by his habit of watching the circus trains unload at 3:00 in the morning and his booking of four seats on the second row of every show which came to Little Rock.

An empirical model of long-term thermospheric density change
No full textPredicting the positions of satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) requires a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic nature of the atmosphere. For objects in LEO the most significant orbit perturbation is atmospheric drag, which is a function of the local atmospheric density from a layer in the atmosphere called the thermosphere. For long-term predictions of satellite orbits and ephemerides, any density trend in the thermosphere is a necessary consideration, not only for satellite operators, but also for studies of the future LEO environment in terms of space debris. Numerous studies of long-term thermospheric density change have been performed.Predictions by Roble & Ramesh (2002), along with evidence by Keating (2000), Emmert et al.(2004), Marcos et al. (2005), Qian et al. (2006) and Emmert et al. (2008), strongly suggest the existence of such a phenomenon. Therefore, the objective of the research presented in this thesis is to provide a novel method to evaluate quantitatively thermospheric density change. Satellite drag data is an effective medium through which one can investigate local thermospheric density and changes thereof. There are many ways of determining atmospheric density, but inferring thermospheric density from satellite drag data is a relatively cost-effective way of gathering in-situ measurements. To do this, knowledge about a satellite’s physical properties that are intrinsic to atmospheric drag is required. A study by Saunders et al. (2009) highlighted problems with estimating a satellite’s physical properties directly from data given explicitly by Two-Line Element (TLE) sets. This prompted an investigation into ways to estimate ballistic coefficients: a required satellite parameter associated with drag coefficient and area-to-mass ratio. A novel way of estimating satellite ballistic coefficients was derived and is presented in this thesis. Additionally, novel consideration of atmospheric chemical composition was applied on long-term drag coefficient variability. Using a quantitative estimate of a ballistic coefficient one can propagate numerically a satellite’s orbit and predict the effects of atmospheric drag. Given an initial satellite orbit from TLE data, one approach is to use an orbital propagator to predict the satellite’s state at some time ahead and then to compare that state with TLE data at the same epoch. The difference between the semi-major axes of the initial orbit and that after the orbit propagation is then integrated and can be used to estimate the global average density. The method employed in this study utilises this process. To achieve this, a specially developed, computer-based, numerical orbital propagator was written in the programming language C/C++. The underlying theories and implementation tests for this propagator are presented in this thesis
Varieties of Divergence: A Response to Saunders and Wallace
No full textI continue to maintain that David Lewis’s concept of overlapping persons cannot yield pre-measurement uncertainty in the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics in the way that Simon Saunders and David Wallace originally seemed to suggest. However, I argue that in their reply to me they make it clear that they do not wish to invoke overlap of persons after all. That makes it mysterious why they defended their interpretation of personal overlap in the first place and questionable what role overlap has to play in their proposal. If Everettian branching can be understood to involve the divergence of distinct, non-overlapping worlds a concept of pre-measurement uncertainty is available. That idea was first proposed by David Deutsch but required an ad hoc postulate. Saunders has recently suggested that a similar scheme arises naturally out of the physics. If correct, that is important as it offers escape from some bizarre consequences of current alternative ways of understanding probability in the Everett interpretatio

Saunders (Robert) interview
No full textRoslyn, Washington, United StatesTape skips ahead periodically and there are occasional loud noises in the background. Second side of tape comes to an abrupt end.
Robert Saunders was born in Rosyln, Washington in 1901. His family came to Washington to work in the mines but moved to Seattle after 1903, when his grandfather died in a mining accident. Saunders recounts his childhood in Seattle, during which his father worked as a fireman for the Seattle Gas Company. Saunders describes the different neighborhoods he lived in growing up as well as his experiences at Franklin and Broadway High Schools. He shares stories about his time playing professional baseball in a black league as well as his experiences working as a cook, butcher, baker and steward on ships over the years, which allowed him to travel all over the world. He shares anecdotes of his time in Africa, in Bombay, and in Russia, among other places. He also describes some of his memories of what life was like during the 1940s when a large influx of black and white people from the South came to Seattle and shares his thoughts on the Civil Rights Movement.To request a high resolution or uncompressed reproduction, or to obtain permission to use any portion of this item, contact the University of Washington Libraries, Special Collections.
