Synergistic Communities for Biochar
No full textAlbert Bates has been director of the Global Village Institute for Appropriate Technology since 1984 and of the Ecovillage Training Center at The Farm in Tennessee since 1994. His remarkable achievements include decades of support for indigenous people and the teaching of sustainable design, permaculture and technologies of the future to students from more than 50 nations, co-founding the Global Ecovillage Network and The Farm Ambulance Service, and inventing the concentrating arrays and solar-powered automobile displayed at the 1982 World's Fair. Bates is a former attorney who has argued environmental and civil rights cases before the US Supreme Court and has drafted a number of legislative acts. Bates is the author of Climate in Crisis (1990) and The Biochar Solution (2010) and the recipient of the first Right Livelihood Award (1980) and the Gaia Award (2012). Since the mid-1980s, Bates has been planting a private forest to sequester carbon dioxide and related greenhouse gas emissions from travel, business and personal activities. At 40 acres under mixed-age, mixed-species, climate-resilient management, primarily being managed for ecosystem services, that forest now annually plants itself as it expands.
Along with enjoying life with his family and friends, Jonathan Bates runs Food Forest Farm, a business specializing in permaculture education and sales of useful and edible plants. He’s been creating rural and urban gardens for over a decade, and is a co-designer and healthy inhabitant of the low-maintenance, resilient, abundantly diverse edible forest garden featured in the book Paradise Lot. This last year he designed and build his first bioshelter greenhouse that includes a temperate solar powered aquaponic system filtered with biochar. With an M.A. in Social Ecology, Jonathan thrives on working with others to better the world we live in. To find out more visit FoodForestFarm.com
Peter Hirst has been a natural resources and energy professional for 30 years, with 5 years of biochar management, production and training experience in his and Bob Wells’s company, New England Biochar, LLC. He works full time making and applying biochar, developing production equipment and practices, teaching and training in all phases of community scale biochar practice.Biochar & Permaculture: Albert Bates http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaKoWXsRiU Biochar & Aquaponics: Jonathan Bates http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c21drA2KS4 Jonathan will present his experience using biochar as a powerful growing medium in aquaponic systems. Aquaponics being the culturing of fish and plants together ecologically in closed systems (the merging of aquaculture and hydroponics). Biochar grow media benefits aquaponic systems in multiple ways, including its light weight, local sourcing, bio-chemical qualities, ecological nature, and affordable price. Through pictures and discussion he will show how his experiment has faired, and offer ideas for economic opportunities of aquaponic biochar in the Northeast. Biochar & the Klamath Hydro Settlement: Peter Hirst http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwOLDW-srGo The goal of the Klamath River Restoration Project is to reduce the massive influx of agricultural nutrients into Upper Klamath Lake and its resultant algae blooms, thereby reducing the extensive eutrophication of the Lower Klamath Lake and environs, and vastly improve water quality and ag nutrient management in the region, ultimately cleaning up the entire headwater system of the Klamath River, historically a critical habitat for important populations of endangered and threatened salmon and other fish species. This presentation discusses the many ways biochar is being proposed and considered – in restoration and treatment wetlands, in stream and onshore filtration, buffer zone and broadcast runoff control, nutrient recover and recycling and renewable energy replacement for dam removal – in this massive engineering project

Contemporary Literature. Analysis of Jonathan Bazzi's novels
No full textopenDopo una breve panoramica della letteratura italiana degli ultimi vent’anni si analizzano i due romanzi di Jonathan Bazzi "Febbre" e "Corpi minori" dai punti di vista formale, stilistico e tematico. Si discute inoltre il rapporto tra social media, autofiction e autore; nel capitolo 4 si riporta l'intervista che Bazzi ci ha gentilmente concesso, in cui questi argomenti vengono ripresi.
Si individuano alcune differenze che i testi mostrano rispetto alla letteratura moderna, e gli aspetti che hanno in comune con quella contemporanea; nel fare questo si accennano quindi alcune caratteristiche della società che li ha prodotti.The paper starts off with a brief overview of the contemporary Italian literature; then the reader is guided through an analysis of Jonathan Bazzi's novels, "Febbre" ("Fever") and "Corpi minori" ("Minor bodies"), both translated in English and published by Scribe. The relationship between author, autofiction and social media will also be discussed; in chapter four the reader will find the interview Bazzi kindly granted us
Administration and Curricula of the Introductory Graduate Music Research Course
No full textThe introductory research course is an integral part of many graduate music programs, yet there have been few studies that discuss its curricula across institutions. A questionnaire was sent to instructors of the course to identify shared pedagogical approaches among North American schools of music. The survey was divided into sections that prompted respondents to identify issues discussed in the course, including the types and titles of resources, research methodologies, and library use topics. With a response rate of over 40 percent, the survey also contains valuable data concerning the professional identifications of instructors, assignments used for grading, common textbooks, perception of the course’s efficacy, and more. Shared features of the course included the importance of electronic resources; the minimal use of Internet-mediated instruction formats; a strong preference for English-language materials; and a focus on resources such as databases, style guides, collected works, monuments of music, and thematic catalogs over and above others such as repertoire guides, discographies, directories, and iconographies.Peer reviewedThis publication first appeared in Notes Volume 71, Number 3, March 2015, pp. 448-478.

Citizen participation in news
No full textThe process of producing news has changed significantly due to the advent of the Web, which has enabled the increasing involvement of citizens in news production. This trend has been given many names, including participatory journalism, produsage, and crowd-sourced journalism, but these terms are ambiguous and have been applied inconsistently, making comparison of news systems difficult. In particular, it is problematic to distinguish the levels of citizen involvement, and therefore the extent to which news production has genuinely been opened up. In this paper we perform an analysis of 32 online news systems, comparing them in terms of how much power they give to citizens at each stage of the news production process. Our analysis reveals a diverse landscape of news systems and shows that they defy simplistic categorisation, but it also provides the means to compare different approaches in a systematic and meaningful way. We combine this with four case studies of individual stories to explore the ways that news stories can move and evolve across this landscape. Our conclusions are that online news systems are complex and interdependent, and that most do not involve citizens to the extent that the terms used to describe them imply
To what extent is Lemuel Gulliver in Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift a reflection of the writer with regard to political and religious views, and attitudes toward women and the concept of family?
No full textThis extended essay is an examination of the extent to which the protagonist Lemuel Gulliver in Gulliver’s Travels is a reflection of Jonathan Swift. It involves the exploration of this research question in terms of politics, religion, attitude to women and family; with references to this piece of literature and some secondary resources when necessary. The quotations from published literary criticism are either refuted by examples from the novel or supported in the light of evidence from the novel. Other secondary resources include Swift’s two other prose works, The Modest Proposal and A Letter to a Very Young Lady on Her Marriage, which are referred to briefly for clarification of the evidence. The purpose of this study is to analyse in what ways and to what extent the protagonist is an author-surrogate in the abovementioned ways.
This essay is comprised of two sections, namely “politics and religion” and “women and family”, each focusing on a particular aspect of the investigation. In the first section, Swift’s political and religious standpoint is discussed extensively in order to correctly evaluate Gulliver’s paradigm. By making connections between the beliefs of the author and those of Gulliver, the relation between the two is established to support the claim of this essay. In the second section, the female figures in the novel and Gulliver’s perception of them are inspected. The plot is also taken into consideration in this part of the inquiry although the central focus is on the persona.
In the conclusion, it is validated that Gulliver is a reflection of Jonathan Swift with regard to political and religious vision, and attitude towards women and family, by juxtaposing and assembling the main elements of personification of Gulliver and Jonathan Swift’s personal ideas and experiences
