Emily Caroline Barnett
No full textIn December 1882 Emily, often known by her second name Caroline, and her husband Harry Creaghe, left Sydney by steamer to join Ernest Favenc's expedition leaving from Thursday Island. The expedition was to explore a region of the Northern Territory that was bound by the Nicholson River, Powells Creek and the Macarthur (McArthur) River. Caroline kept a detailed diary of her adventures. She was one of two women on the expedition, the other was Favenc's wife. Elizabeth Favenc became ill and her husband escorted her back to Sydney. The Creaghes and four other men carried on with the expedition, a two hundred-mile (322 km) ride south-west to Carl Creek station which they reached at the end of the month. It was a dangerous and difficult task with one man dying of heat stroke. The expedition and a now pregnant Caroline reached Powells Creek on 14 May 1883. They carried onto the Katherine Telegraph Station and then to Port Darwin. They boarded a ship for Sydney on 22 August 1883.

Joseph Milford Nicholson (b. 1935) : pioneer trombone historian
No full textInterest in the history and development of the trombone and its literature escalated during the last half of the twentieth century. As curricula for doctoral degrees began to develop during the 1950s, trombonists in advanced degree programs began to recognize lapses in the history of the instrument. One of the earliest doctoral documents that focused upon creating a more comprehensive single source of trombone heritage was entitled, "A Historical Background of the Trombone and Its Music" (1967), by Joseph Milford Nicholson (b. 1935). Joseph Nicholson was born in Penoke, Kansas, on August 15, 1935. Raised in a musical family, he learned to play the trombone in the public school bands of his hometown, Fruita, Colorado. Later, Nicholson enrolled at Southwestern Bible Institute (1952-1955) and graduated from Texas Wesleyan College (B.Mus 1957). He earned the MME (1961) from North Texas State University and the D.M.A. (1967) from the Conservatory of Music at the University of Missouri at Kansas City (UMKC). Nicholson taught at Southwestern beginning in 1956, but left in 1960 to teach at Evangel College, Springfield, MO, where he taught until 1991. During his years at Evangel, Nicholson was chair of the Fine Arts Department (1967-1981), the principal trombonist in the Springfield (MO) Symphony (1966-1977), and an active member of the Springfield Brass Quintet (1966-1977). Nicholson pursued his interest in trombone history and literature while studying at UMKC. Because his text summarized into one document the current knowledge of the time about the history and literature of the trombone, Nicholson's work was one of the earliest to appear outside the context of the music dictionaries. Through his writing, teaching, and presentations, Nicholson is thought to have spurred interest among the next generation of trombonists who began to develop a more comprehensive chronicle of the trombone. Nicholson's legacy continues through his influence upon trombonists and the citations in later, more era-specific histories of the instrument."--Abstract from author supplied metadata
Careers advisory service for aspiring clinical academic nurses and midwives
No full textTo improve practice, it is necessary for nurses and midwives to lead research. However, they make up a small percentage of those with clinical academic roles. An advice and information service was piloted to support nurses and midwives to explore clinical academic careers and apply for fellowships. Results demonstrated demand and positive feedback. This model could increase the number of nurses and midwives applying for clinical academic research training fellowship opportunities and lessen regional inequity in access to advice and support
