Doris Reece carving
No full textThis photograph shows Doris Reece carving small animals. Known as Dot Reece or "Mamma Dot," Doris Reese was first exposed to woodcarving through her neighbors Hope and Glen Brown who carved and sold their work through the woodcarving cooperative that became known as the Brasstown Carvers. Reece's first carving was a cat. She became a prolific carver capable of creating eighty carvings per month. She carved napkin rings, mice and opossums in walnut, cherry and buckeye and is best known for her cheerful baby pigs. This photograph was taken from a booklet published by the John C. Campbell Folk School in 1990 titled "The Brasstown Carvers" with text by Bill Biggers, photographs by Werner Kahn and Bill Bigger

Crime is in the air - air pollution and regulation in the UK
No full textThis latest briefing by Professor Reece Walters in the What is crime? series, draws attention to an area of harm that is often absent from criminological debate. He highlights the human costs of air pollution and failed attempts to adequately regulate and control such harm. Arguing for a cross disciplinary ‘eco-crime’ narrative, the author calls for greater understanding of the far-reaching consequences of air pollution which could set in train changes which may lead to a ‘more robust and meaningful system of justice’. Describing current arrangements in place to control and regulate air pollution, Walters draws attention to the lack of neutrality in current arrangements and the bias ‘towards the economic imperatives of free trade over and above the centrality of environmental protection’. While attention is often given to direct and individualised instances of ‘crime’, the serious consequences of air pollution are frequently neglected. The negative effects of pollution on health and well-being are often borne by people already experiencing a range of other disadvantages. In a global and national context, it is often the poor who are affected most. Ultimately, political and economic imperatives have historically helped to shape legal and regulatory regimes. Whether this is an inherent flaw in current systems or something that can be overcome in favour of dealing with more wide-ranging harms is an area that requires further discussion and debate
Woodcarving: mouse
No full textThis small mouse was carved in walnut by Doris Reece (1910-1994). Known as "Momma Dot," Reece was from the Pine Log community of Clay County. She was introduced to carving by her friends Hope and Glenn Brown who carved for the John C. Campbell Folk School. After raising seven children, Reece focused her time on carving. She sold her work through the school's woodcarving cooperative that came to be known as the Brasstown Carvers. Once a prolific carver, Reece carved eighty pieces a month. Her carvings-mice, cats, pigs-reflect her life of farming and gardening. According to the cooperative's sales records, Reece sold $83 worth of carvings in 194

Pushing the process: A whānau journey through the Treaty of Waitangi claims process
No full textThis thesis follows the journey of a Whānau (ngā uri a Arama Whakatau) in its Claim to the Waitangi Tribunal under the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1986. In particular, it looks at inter-Whānau dynamics before, during and after the Claims process. The connections to the claimant area through whakapapa and establishing ahi kaa rights are identified, as are problems faced by lodging a Claim at the Whānau level. Aspects of inter-Whānau, inter-Hapū and inter-iwi politics are considered along with Crown agencies' processes. The primary question posed in the thesis is whether a Whānau Claim is the more appropriate avenue compared to making a Claim through the Hapū or iwi. However, the inter-Whānau dynamics are the core focus of the thesis in this 'warts-and-all' discussion from the perspective of the participant-observer
A Multi-Dimensional Trust Model for Heterogeneous Contract Observations
No full textIn this paper we develop a novel probabilistic model of computational trust that allows agents to exchange and combine reputation reports over heterogeneous, correlated multi-dimensional contracts. We consider the specific case of an agent attempting to procure a bundle of services that are subject to correlated quality of service failures (e.g. due to use of shared resources or infrastructure), and where the direct experience of other agents within the system consists of contracts over different combinations of these services. To this end, we present a formalism based on the Kalman filter that represents trust as a vector estimate of the probability that each service will be successfully delivered, and a covariance matrix that describes the uncertainty and correlations between these probabilities. We describe how the agents’ direct experiences of contract outcomes can be represented and combined within this formalism, and we empirically demonstrate that our formalism provides significantly better trustworthiness estimates than the alternative of using separate single-dimensional trust models for each separate service (where information regarding the correlations between each estimate is lost)
