Letter from Benjamin Colman to Samuel Shute, Esq.
No full textRev. Benjamin Colman begs Massachusetts governor Samuel Shute not to publish a postscript written to him by Mr. Noah, which was not intended to be shared or published. Colman tells Shute that the postscript carries a very severe reflection upon the late assembly & will doubtless anger Dr. Cook & others not a little. The postscript contains material about Lord Barrington which is negative. The controversy appears to center around the speaker selected by the House (Elisha Cooke, Jr.) and Governor Shute\u27s opposition to the choice. There is no explanation as to why Finley had this letter in his possession. Abstract Number - 536https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/1832/thumbnail.jp
Exploring Narrative Therapy : Arthur Ransome’s Old Peter’s Russian Tales and Pamela Colman Smith’s Annancy Stories
No full text本論はイギリス人児童文学作家アーサー・ランサムによる『ピーターおじいさんの昔話』と、タロット画家として有名なイギリス生まれのパメラ・コールマン・スミスによる『アナンシ物語』は両作家にとっての「ナラティブセラピー」としての効果があったことを示す論考である。
ランサムは自伝で、どんな本よりも、コールマンの『アナンシ物語』から、物語の技術の多くを学んだと回顧しているが、ランサムとコールマンについての研究はほぼほぼ皆無である。そこで、本論ではランサムがコールマンからどのような影響を受けたのかというリサーチ・クエスチョンに対し、その答えを両作家がある異国の昔話を「語り直し」ていることに着目し、その意味と意義を社会構成主義から派生した心理学療法である「ナラティブセラピー」に見出そうとするものである。
「語り直し」における、聴衆に向けての効果と、語り手自身への効果を考察し、結果的に、ランサムはコールマンから異国の「民話」を「語り直し」自国で伝承していくテクニックとその意義を見出し、のちの「つばめ号シリーズ」へと続く自身の児童文学作家としてのキャリアの道を切り開いていったことを論証する。This paper explores the possibility that Old Peter’s Russian Tales (1916) by English children’s author Arthur Ransome and the Jamaican folklore, Annancy Stories (1899) written by Pamela Colman Smith, a British-born female artist, famous only as a tarot painter, may have served as a form of “narrative therapy” for both authors. Ransome claimed in his autobiography that he learned more about storytelling from Colman’s Annancy Stories than from any other book, but little research has been done on their relationship. This paper investigates the influenceinfluence of Colman on Ransome by examining how both writers retold a foreign folktale, and analyzes its meaning and significance in the context of narrative therapy, a form of psychotherapy based on social constructionism.
Retelling folk tales from different cultures can have a dual impact on both the audience and the storytellers themselves. For the audience, it can be both entertaining and educational, providing exposure to diverse cultures and preserving cultural traditions. Arthur Ransome, for example, was deeply affected by listening to Pamela Colman Smith’s retelling of Anansi stories at weekly salons in London during the early 1900s.
On the other hands, retelling stories from other cultures has therapeutic benefits, helping storytellers reframe their relationship with their country. Colman and Ransome retold Jamaican and Russian folktales, respectively, to overcome personal issues and develop as cultural bridges. Colman established her racial identity and dealt with gender issues through retelling Jamaican folklores, while Ransome found healing during personal struggles, enabling him to question the values of Western culture as an outsider.departmental bulletin pape
Colman Pool, Seattle, 1941
No full textA salt-water pool dug at Lincoln Park in 1926 had mud sides and bottom, and proved to be very popular. Swimming enthusiasts then called for contructing a more permanent swimming pool. In 1941, Kenneth Colman and his family, long-time residents of Fauntleroy, donated funds to the city for an outdoor salt-water pool and bathhouse to honor his father, Laurence Colman (1860-1935), who was the son of Scottish-born engineer James M. Colman. The Colman Pool continues as one of the city's favorite swimming pools.Handwritten on image: Colman Pool.

THE RISE OF EDWARD COLMAN
No full textThis article establishes for the first time the identity of Edward
Colman, the Catholic
courtier executed for treason in 1678. Discoveries about his background
are used to show how he made
his way into court circles in the 1660s, at an earlier date than has usually
been assumed. It is suggested
that his cousin, Richard Colman, may have been the person who introduced
him to the duke of York.
Another relative, William Battie, also had connections at court, but he
and Colman later quarrelled
over the issue of religious toleration. Thereafter, Bishop Compton acted
as Battie's patron to further
the campaign by himself and the earl of Danby against Colman and the other
court Catholics.</jats:p
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Samuel Colman, 1780-1845
No full textBecause he lived in Bristol between the years 1816 and 1838,
Samuel Colman is usually considered a 'Bristol School' artist. Although
few biographical details are available about this provincial drawing
master, the most important to emerge are those which clarify his
religious affiliations and links. Again, while there is little evidence that
Colman was closely connected with the other members of the Bristol
school, it is clear that he had much in common with them as regards
subject matter and sources, and that his work was known to other Bristol
artists, and theirs to him. Therefore, while the purpose of this study of
Samuel Colman has been to illuminate the work of an apparently very
private artist, the result of the research has been to widen the 'picture'
of Independency in pre-Victorian Bristol, while adding something to the
definition of the 'school' of art which the city produced during that
period.Colman's connections with mainstream Dissent, through his
membership of Castle Green and of Zion Independent chapels in Bristol,
help us to place him in society locally and give us the touchstones of his
interests: evangelism, Abolition, the 'Catholic Question', the Parliamentary
redress of Dissenters' political grievances and the 'Prophetical Con¬
troversy'. Along with other artists, Colman used favourite genres of the
era (the fairground picture, for example, and the biblical cataclysm) in
order to present propaganda. But his unique approach to the use of art
as a vehicle for dogma and political messages was his fusion of the
emblem tradition with the visual formulae adopted by his contemporaries
in the 'School of Catastrophe', especially in those paintings where he
acknowledged the Sublime through his treatment, in poetic landscapes, of
biblical epics and events from the Apocalypse.Section C demonstrates the lyric qualities Colman obviously
admired in the Psalms and in the hymns of English Dissent, particularly
the hymnody of Isaac Watts. Finally, Section D shows that Samuel
Colman found a consonant synthesis by being both sincere and optimistic
in the presentation of his belief in the positive culmination of Salvation

A 'special relationship'? Harold Wilson, Lyndon B. Johnson and Anglo-American relations 'at the summit', 1964-68
No full textHarold Wilson and Lyndon Johnson held very different opinions about how the UK and the US were supposed to relate to each other, with Wilson supposing they were the closest of friends and Johnson supposing they were, at best, rich (the US) and poor (the UK) shirt-tail relations. Colman (international politics, U. of Wales, Aberystwyth) gives here the first comprehensive account of the complex and often frustrating personal and political relationships that lead to one of the most strained relationships ever between a president and prime minister. Using the summits of December 1964 to December 1968 as a framework, Colman traces the exchanges leading to what was in effect a declining relationship and disassociation as Johnson was dealing with events that would defeat him such as the war in Vietnam
Atmospheric pollution
No full textAir pollution from anthropogenic sources has been and continues to be considered a serious environmental problem affecting public health. Its seriousness lies in the fact that pollutant levels rise in places that increase the likelihood of impact on human health. Therefore, air pollution is a major threat to public health worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than two million premature deaths per year are attributable to the effects of both indoor and outdoor air pollution. In addition, more than half of this disease burden is supported by the populations of developing countries. Epidemiological studies in several countries have shown that chronic exposure to traffic-related pollutants, chemicals and petrochemicals, such as particulate matter (PM), metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) associated with PM, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and inorganic gases (SO2, NOx, O3) produce adverse effects on development and affect lung function; along with an increase in respiratory disease, often expressed in terms of a diagnosis of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiovascular effects and increased mortality. In this sense, it is important to characterize and quantify air pollution, recognizing and evaluating the associated health effects. an adequate way to present these results (from public management) is the elaboration of an air quality index (AQI) that represents, in a simple way, the relationship between pollution levels and its possible health effects. To achieve this objective it is necessary to design and implement a monitoring network of atmospheric pollutants. In its design it is necessary to have clear objectives to be accomplished, which must be clear and concise, as well as the resources available to be carried out. The network alone is not sufficient to develop an integral program of air pollution control, but must be complemented by other tools including an inventory of gaseous emissions and the use of air pollutant dispersion modeling tools.Fil: Giuliani, Daniela Silvana.

Health impact assessment of benzene levels emitted by gas stations in the city of La Plata, Argentina
No full textActivities carried out in gas stations mainly filling processes expose the surrounding population to high levels of contamination due to the emissions originated in their normal operations. This work analyzes the impact of these emissions as diffused sources in the city of La Plata (Argentina) and assesses the risk of contracting cancer (LCR) from exposure to the benzene estimated concentrations. To achieve this goal, the AERMOD modeling system was used as a dispersion assessment tool. The results show that, although the estimated concentrations do not represent a risk for the surrounding population, they reach 7.2-8.5 % of the limit concentration recommended by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (corresponding to a LCR of 1 x10-6), regarding chronic exposure to benzene in the adult population. However, the levels may be alarming when considering other significant sources in the region that have not been included in the modeling, such as the petrochemical industrial area and the emission of gases coming from motor vehicles.Fil: Lefevre, Maria L..
