Honour and recognition in the German novel of banditry ca 1800
No full textThis article performs a reading informed by Honneth’s theory of recognition of the two best-known German novels of banditry of the 1790s, Johann Heinrich Zschokke’s Abaellino der große Bandit (1794) and Christian August Vulpius’ Rinaldo Rinaldini (1799) in an effort to understand how popular literature participates in and reflects upon the discourse on honour and recognition around 1800. Its status as popular genre makes the novel of banditry (Räuberroman) a potentially interesting source on shifts in the theory and practice of honour as experienced by ordinary Europeans at the turn of the 19th century. The genre was found to relate to the honour discourse not directly, but in the manner of a heterotopia, simultaneously located outside that discourse and referentially connected to it. Taken in isolation, the novel of banditry is not an informative source on the changing role of honour and new patterns of intersubjective recognition in late 18th century Europe. Seen as part of a particular constellation of textual production and reception, however, the genre sheds light on the aporias of honour experienced by those socially marginal ‘new readers’ intent on exploiting literature in the struggle for enhanced social recognition.Peer reviewe
The life and works of James Miller, 1704-1744, with particular reference to the satiric content of his poetry and plays.
No full textPhDJames Miller was born the son of a Dorset rector in 1704. He
was himself ordained, but acquired no benefice until just before his
early death, probably because of a scathing portrayal of the Bishop
of London in one of his verse satires. At Oxford he wrote a vivacious
comedy of humours, set in the University. Its production in 1730
began his dramatic career, at a time when the number of London
theatres had just doubled, and new dramatic forms were being invented.
In 1731 his poem Harlequin-Horace, a witty inversion of
the Ars Poetica, attacked pantomime and opera, but also painted a
lively portrait of the entire theatrical world, in the tradition of
the Dunciad.
After collaborating in a translation of Moliere's works Miller
wrote two plays based on this author. Of all his dramatic works
these were the most successful with his contemporaries, and were
followed by a modernisation of Much Ado, and a ballad-opera adapted
from an afterpiece by Jean-Baptiste Rousseau, and rendered highly
topical. Miller made similar use of a recent French comedy showing
a Red Indian's reactions to civilisation, a satiric "fable" by Walsh
and Voltaire's Mahomet. A large quantity of original material was
incorporated into most of these, and this is generally satirical in
nature. The Indian is made to voice almost egalitarian sentiments.
An afterpiece, "The Camp Visitants", satirised military inaction
in the war, and was apparently banned. The manuscripts of the six
plays produced after the Licensing Act bear the examiner's deletions,
and illustrate the nature of the censorship at this time.
Miller's greatest strength is probably his flexible, vigorously
colloquial dialogue. His political satire is mostly contained in
the poetry, which attacks Walpole's administration with increasing
vehemence through the seventeen-thirties, until its fall. In 1740
two poems that used Pope in symbolic contrast to Walpole caused a
sensation. In both poetry and plays Miller is also a social satirist,
who lays unusually strong emphasis on false taste and the deterioration
of culture

Practical Design and Applications of Ultrafast Semiconductor Disk Lasers
No full textVertical External Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VECSELs) have become well established in recent years for their design flexibility and promising power scalability. Recent efforts in VECSEL development have focused heavily on expanding the medium into the ultrafast regime of modelocked operation. Presented in this thesis is a detailed discussion regarding the development of ultrafast VECSEL devices. Achievements in continuous wave (CW) operation will be highlighted, followed by several chapters detailing the engineering challenges and design solutions which enable modelocked operation of VECSELs in the ultrafast regime, including the design of the saturable absorbers used to enforce modelocking, management of the net group delay dispersion (GDD) inside the cavity, and the design of the active region to support pulse durations on the order of 100 fs. Work involving specific applications - VECSELs emitting on multiple wavelengths simultaneously and the use of VECSEL seed oscillators for amplification and spectral broadening - will also be presented. Key experimental results will include a novel multi-fold cavity design that produced record-setting peak powers of 6.3 kW from a modelocked VECSEL, an octave-spanning supercontinuum with an average power of 2 W generated using a VECSEL seed and a 2-stage Yb fiber amplifier, and two separate experiments where a VECSEL was made to emit on multiple wavelengths simultaneously in modelocked and highly stable CW operation, respectively. Further, many diagnostic and characterization measurements will be presented, most notably the in-situ probing of a VECSEL gain medium during stable modelocked operation with temporal resolution on the order of 100 fs, but also including characterization of the relaxation rates in different saturable absorber designs and the effectiveness of different methods for managing the net GDD of a device
Effect of variable resistance training on lower limb strength and power development: A training study
No full textThe ability to develop high levels of muscular strength and power is considered to be a critical component in many, if not most, sports. Because of this, new training methods are constantly being sought in an attempt to improve strength and power development. One such method is variable resistance training (VRT). This research aims to determine the effect of VRT on back squat one repetition (1RM) strength, vertical jump height and 30m sprint time.
Twenty male high school athletes (mean age 17.5 ± 0.7 years) were pair matched based on 1RM scores (predicted from 4RM). Subjects completed a five-week within-group standardised training programme, with the control group completing fixed load back squats and the experimental group completing variable resistance back squats (with the use of elastic bands). Pre- and post-training vertical jump height, predicted 1RM squat strength and 10m, 20m and 30m sprint speeds were measured.
The VRT group had greater increases in strength and vertical jump than the fixed load training group, with a moderate difference in pre- to post-training predicted 1RM (mean; ± 90% confidence limit; 7.0; ±6.1%) and a small difference in the within-group changes in vertical jump height (4.6; ± 5.4%) from pre- to post-training. VRT also produced a small difference (4.8; ±5.3%) in pre- to mid-training 1RM changes. All other changes were trivial or unclear.
Eleven male semi-elite athletes (mean age 19.9 ± 2.0 years) also participated in this research as a case study. Findings in this case study supported the effectiveness of VRT over fixed load training in improving back squat predicted 1RM strength, but not vertical jump height or 30m sprint time. However, no findings in the semi-elite case study were statistically clear due to a lack of statistical power. Further research is required into the effects of this training technique on mature athletes.
This study also aimed to determine the level of regression that occurs in resistance afforded by elastic resistance bands as a result of repeated use. In order to ascertain the reliability of training loads used throughout the study, the resistance of each band was also measured at the mid-point and completion of the training study. This determined the rate of degradation that occurred to variable resistance elastic bands with use. Due to minor changes in the amount of variable resistance afforded by the bands after use, loading protocols were modified at the midpoint of training to reflect these changes.
This study has found that variable resistance training is an effective training tool in improving 1RM back squat strength and vertical jump height in mature high-school athletes. Preliminary research into the effect of VRT on semi-elite athletes also points to greater improvements in lower limb strength and vertical jump height when compared to fixed load training, although these findings are subject to further research. These results suggest that VRT is a useful training technique in lower body strength and power development in the vertical plane of movement. As such, VRT may be implemented with confidence into training programmes desiring to improve lower limb strength and vertical jump height

The clergy of the deaneries of Rochester and mailing in the diocese of Rochester, c. 1770 – 1870
No full textThis is a study of the concerns and life - style of the clergy of the established Church in two Kent Deaneries throughout the hundred year period, 1770 -1870. How far, it is considered, were episcopal hopes, which were expressed in the Charges of Bishop and Archdeacon, fulfilled in the parishes, especially in the matters of residence and education. The extent of non-residence is deduced from. such evidence as is available for the earlier part of the period and after 1830 from Visitation and other returns. The provision of Sunday Schools is used as an example of clerical response to a diocesan policy in the field of education. The exercise of patronage, residence, plurality, the length ofincumbencies, the employment of curates and their prospects, are looked at throughout the period. The provision of new churches, agrarian unrest, tithe and clerical emoluments, church rate, relationship with dissent, worship provision , the visitation process, the clergyman's role in society, the differing demands of town ministry and rural ministry are examined as events bring them to the fore . The priorities of successive bishops are noted and the lives of sample clergymen are taken for each period, both to flesh-out the statistics and to illustrate the evolving pattern of ministry

IT'S
TIME!
The end of summer has come and with it, the
start of a new school year. We've begun the
day with an assembly to welcome back
students and staff. This year we welcomed
some wonderful new staff members to myers
along with many new students. The halls were
filled with plenty of students sporting smiles
and some great fits.
The year started off with a bang! The X-Wing
boys bathroom was open for a month without
being closed down once, a new record for
W.R. Myers students.

TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION

This year at Myers, we had a bulletin
board saying that reconciliation should
be a verb. That is because we know
reconciliation comes through actions. It
is an ongoing process that involves
learning the truth of residential schools
and also respecting Indigenous culture.
September is an important time of the
year because that is when First Nation,
Metis, and Inuit children were taken
from their homes to residential schools.
We wear our orange shirts in
September to remind ourselves of how
residential schools stripped children of
their language and culture.
But, the efforts to eliminate indigenous
culture were unsuccessful. Indigenous
culture thrives in the modern world,
despite the dark history. This year, we
celebrate indigenous vibrant cultures
by learning a Blackfoot word of the
week, making commemorative pins,
and by watching Jerry First Charger's
dance group and learning about hoop
dancing.

This year we had yet another
spooky Halloween celebration,
our Rebels were fangtastically
dressed in a variety of great
costumes including spies,
holidays, scarecrows, and
superheros. We also saw Mr.
Leavitt sporting some wicked eye
makeup with his Rasputin
costume - if you don't know who
Rasputin is, look him up!
16
Carving pumpkins, trick-or-treating, and
wearing scary costumes are some of the
time-honored traditions of Halloween. Yet, the
Halloween holiday has its roots in the ancient
Celtic festival of Samhain (a Gaelic word
pronounced "SAH-win"), a pagan religious
celebration to welcome the harvest at the end
of summer, when people would light bonfires
and wear costumes to ward off ghosts (to the
trick the spirits) as they believed the veil
between the living and spirit world grew
thinnest at that time.

and reflect on those who gave their lives
for our freedom. As the years pass, for
some, it becomes harder and harder to
understand just what was given up during
those wartime years. We owe the
freedom we enjoy everyday to those who
fought in unthinkable conditions.

I MERRY CHRISTMAS
The weather our last week before Christmas
holidays turned out to be one for the history
books! Windchills in the mid -30's to low
-40's, meant school buses weren't running for
most of the week. Unfortunately this
impacted our overall attendance and our
yearly Christmas Festivities! But don't worry,
those who were able to attend still did so
with big smiles, gifts exchanged between
friends..... and of course the infamous "Ugly
Christmas Sweaters" were out in full force!
V The Concert and Stage Bands both had
V incredibly busy years. The Stage Band kicked
■ off the year by playing at the Tri-School BBQ
V and Awards Night. The Music of the Night
■ Concert was held in November this year. Due to
■ bad weather, it got postponed by a week but was
F a great success and it highlighted some of the talents
that are in Taber. Finally, after not happening for
several years due to Covid, the Stage Band performed
at the Town of Taber's Remembrance Day Ceremony.
The Concert Band played Shindler's List and featured
Liam Ellingson on the violin at the school's Remembrance
Day Ceremony. Thatcher Hughes was the bugler at both
events. In December, the annual Christmas Concert was
held and Tyler Gurney won for the best dressed
instrument. In May, the Concert Band performed at the
Graduation Ceremony. And both bands played at the
80s Themed Year End Concert.

BhYSICS: After a three year hiatus, the Physics 30s were finally able to once again
B-avel to the University of Lethbridge for their annual field trip! This day starts with
optics lab using the University of Lethbridge Physics lab equipment, and ends
~Lith touring six different labs to see the research of six different professors. This field
(lip was the first time that Myers students were able to tour the brand new Science
Buildin' While the day is always a little overwhelming in terms of the information
Being thrown at them, it's always a great experience to see what scientific research
■Is being done with some of the best equipment in Canada, all within 55km of Taber!
BIOLOGY: Dissection of the FETAL PIG! Learning about all of the differing body
ystems is what brings the fetal pig to Biology! A fetal pig dissection is helpful
jecause the size of the organs makes them easy to find and identify. It is also
nteresting to do because a lot of the internal anatomy is similar to humans! An
sthical note - fetal pigs are pigs that died just before, during or right after birth,
.earning through dissection has been part of school curriculum for decades!

THIS YEAR we had a BLAST at our pep rallies! Who doesn't love a spirited game of
DODGE BALL, or how about a game of 4 CORNERS to get everybody up and moving!
Plus there is always room to try NEW things, like MAT SURFING!!
DID YOU KNOW....
1. Why do we have pep rallies? To build school
spirit and enthusiasm for the school's athletic
teams and other extracurricular events. The
purpose of a pep rally is to bring students, staff,
and members of the community together to show ---- '
support for the school and its teams, and to build
excitement for upcoming events!
2. There are academic and extracurricular
benefits that come from the loyalty that is built up
from the camaraderie enjoyed at such events.
3. Pep Rallies provide some much needed
laughter after potentially stressful weeks in the classroom

Headstrong is a student lead group that
aims to end stigma around mental health.
This year the Headstrong group met weekly
to discuss mental health stigma and ways to
implement some awesome ideas throughout
the school.
Their largest initiative happened this spring,
during the first week of May. Some of the
activities included the making and handing
out of de-stress bags, the much-loved plant
give away, playing with a therapy dog and
much morel!

During the other half of the day, students tour a local
business, discovering firsthand how different
occupations contribute to producing quality
produces and services, (info from: careersteps.ca)
For half the day,
students are
introduced to these
pathways in a
meaningful and
experiential manner
by connecting directly
with business and
industry
representatives and
getting a glimpse of
what it might be like to
work in various fields.
Ideally, students will
get to explore one
occupation from each
of the following
industries:
Agriculture/Environ-ment,
Health, STEM,
Trades, plus one wildcard occupation that does not
fall within these 4 sectors. Local industry
professionals showcase their businesses and connect
with their future workforce... YOU - the students.

WHAT IS IN YOUR FUTURE?
REGIONAL AND PROVINCIAL
CARTER JENSEN Established in 1992, the Provincial Skills Canada
Competition is Alberta's largest career exploration
experience.
Every year, the event brings together approximately 700
young people from across the province to compete in 45
trade and technology areas (30 trade and technology
areas at the high school level and 45 at the post
secondary level). The competition provides an opportunity
for young Albertans studying a skilled trade or technology
to be tested against exacting standards and against their
peers. Students vie to win the honour of being crowned
best in province in their chosen discipline, and for the
opportunity to join Team Alberta for the Skills Canada
National Competition.

Owen Schnoor and Carter Jensen Events at the High School level include:
competed at the Regional competition in
Lethbridge. Both thoroughly enjoyed the
experience. Carter secured a position in the
Provincial competition in Edmonton, Alberta
and represented Southwestern Alberta along
with another competitor from Claresholm AB.
There were 22 competitors in the Welding
Bvent. It was a 6 hour event over 2 days. The
competitors had to construct a rocketship on a
platform. They had to meticulously follow a
detailed blueprint that instructed them on the
ype of welds (GMAW or SMAW,
JP^I/downhill and stitch welds) they had to
Jse in specifics areas of the build. Carter
placed 8th considering (in his words) most of
e competitors had a lot more experience than
16 had. Way to go Carter!

Paranoja jako chwyt retoryczny w kinie science fiction: Ex Machina Alexa Garlanda
No full textThe article analyzes paranoia as a rhetorical figure in science fiction cinema, focusing on Alex Garland’s Ex Machina. The author references the research of W.H. Hampton and V. Schroeder Burnham, who present paranoia as an adaptive mechanism. Additionally, the article examines its role in exaggerating the dangers associated with artificial intelligence, within the context of contemporary studies on cyber-paranoia. In Garland’s film, paranoia takes various forms, ranging from a natural distrust of technology to the heightened fears of the protagonist, Caleb, amplified by his interactions with his host, Nathan. To underscore elements related to AI, the author draws on the perspectives of A. Przegalińska, M. Tegmark, and N. Bostrom. Furthermore, the paper highlights the significant role of mythological motifs in the film, particularly the theme of katabasis. In conclusion, the article posits that paranoia serves as a critical survival tool for both humans and intelligent machines.The article analyzes paranoia as a rhetorical figure in science fiction cinema, focusing on Alex Garland’s Ex Machina.

"The Challenge of the Difficult," Sermon, ITC Chapel
No full textBishop Edgar Amos Love (1891-1974), a graduate of Howard University and Howard Divinity School in Washington, D.C., was a co-founder of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity as a student in 1911. He became a Methodist minister and was later the Bishop of the Central Conference, based in Baltimore, Maryland, from 1952-1964. In this sermon, delivered April 12, 1962, Bishop Love exhorts the ITC students in attendance to choose difficult, transformative challenges rather than an easy life of conformity. He illustrates his theme using a passage from the Biblical book of Joshua (chapter 14). He particularly focuses on the Biblical figure of Caleb as an exemplar of the theme. He also briefly discusses his own challenge of serving as a chaplain in the United States Army in World War I
