Diane Donnelly smiling at a concert, Washington, D.C., circa 1979
No full textMusic manager Diane Donnelly is photographed smiling at a concert, circa 1979, at the Carter Barron Amphitheatre in Washington, D.C. Donnelly managed numerous local musicians and bands, as well as wrote a long-running column for the Unicorn Times, a monthly performing arts periodical in Washington, D.C. Donnelly was profiled in Michael Mariotte's article titled "Women in Rock ‘n’ Roll," which appeared in the September 1979 issue of the Unicorn Times. The photograph was taken by Don Hamerman, who was then a staff photographer for the Unicorn Times
The role of configurality in the Thatcher illusion: an ERP study
No full textThe Thatcher illusion (Thompson in Perception, 9, 483-484, 1980) is often explained as resulting from recognising a distortion of configural information when 'Thatcherised' faces are upright but not when inverted. However, recent behavioural studies suggest that there is an absence of perceptual configurality in upright Thatcherised faces (Donnelly et al. in Attention, Perception & Psychophysics, 74, 1475-1487, 2012) and both perceptual and decisional sources of configurality in behavioural tasks with Thatcherised stimuli (Mestry, Menneer et al. in Frontiers in Psychology, 3, 456, 2012). To examine sources linked to the behavioural experience of the illusion, we studied inversion and Thatcherisation of faces (comparing across conditions in which no features, the eyes, the mouth, or both features were Thatcherised) on a set of event-related potential (ERP) components. Effects of inversion were found at the N170, P2 and P3b. Effects of eye condition were restricted to the N170 generated in the right hemisphere. Critically, an interaction of orientation and eye Thatcherisation was found for the P3b amplitude. Results from an individual with acquired prosopagnosia who can discriminate Thatcherised from typical faces but cannot categorise them or perceive the illusion (Mestry, Donnelly et al. in Neuropsychologia, 50, 3410-3418, 2012) only differed from typical participants at the P3b component. Findings suggest the P3b links most directly to the experience of the illusion. Overall, the study showed evidence consistent with both perceptual and decisional sources and the need to consider both in relation to configurality
Fish fauna of the Donnelly River, Western Australia
No full textThis report provides an overview of the fishes of the Donnelly River that is based on collections made during June 2006 and from historical data. The Donnelly River, including Lake Jasper, Lake Wilson and Lake Smith, is one of the few catchments in south-western Australia that is inhabited by all of the region’s endemic freshwater fishes. The relative high diversity of freshwater fishes is likely to have been fostered by the diversity of aquatic habitats offered within the catchment. For example, species such as the Salamanderfish and Black-stripe Minnow are restricted to ephemeral pools and floodplain environments and within the Donnelly catchment are confined to the wetlands and pools on Scott Rd and around Lake Smith. Lake Smith is also the only known location within the catchment of the rare Balston’s Pygmy Perch and, together with Lake Wilson is the only known habitat in the catchment with the large Freshwater Cobbler. The Western Minnow, Western Pygmy Perch and Nightfish are relatively common and widespread through the catchment, occurring in most habitat types including the lakes. The rare Mud Minnow is restricted to headwater streams and is very uncommon in the system, possibly as a consequence of predation by exotic species. Three introduced fishes are known from the Donnelly River, the Eastern Mosquitofish, Redfin Perch and Rainbow Trout, the latter being the most widespread, presumably as a consequence of the long term stocking of the species into the catchment. For example, over 500,000 Rainbow Trout were stocked into the system between 1999 and 2004, however there is limited information on the impacts of the species on the ecology of the river. There have been only limited surveys of the estuary of the Donnelly River, and only a small number of species have been recorded there. It is recommended that further seasonal surveys are conducted within the estuary to determine the species composition. The Donnelly River also supports extremely important breeding and nursery grounds for the primitive Pouched Lamprey. Good water quality and habitats (uncleared, high organic content and shade) in some of the major tributaries provide the ammocoetes (larvae) with important nursery areas. The Donnelly River and its catchment is an important refuge for a number of fishes that are unique to Western Australia, while it is also important to many people for recreational purposes and possesses many sites that are of cultural and archaeological importance

The Assisted Decision-making Capacity Act, 2015: reflections for the profession of social work
No full textThe Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015 will provide the legal framework to maximise a person’s right to make their own decisions, with legally recognised supports. Once commenced, this significant piece of legislation will change everyone’s approach when working with and supporting people whose capacity is in question. This collection of essays, written from both personal and professional perspectives, highlights the importance of this ground-breaking piece of legislation. The powerful essays demonstrate the scale of impact that the Act may have on people’s lives — from the ability to write a legally binding advance healthcare directive to being supported to make their own decisions if they have difficulties with decision-making capacity. The idea for this collection of essays emerged from a conference held in University College Cork in November 2019, which was jointly organised by the Decision Support Service; the HSE National Office for Human Rights and Equality; and the Law School at UCC. The conference was intended to draw attention to the ongoing delays in commencing the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015 (the 2015 Act). At that time, there was no clear line to commencement and a growing concern that there was no political imperative to take the steps needed to bring the 2015 Act into force. We wanted to provide a reminder of the unsustainability of the current legal structures, the importance of the 2015 Act and why political procrastination had to stop
A possible marker of configural processing at the N170: converging evidence from typical participants and a case of prosopagnosia
No full textBoth orientation and Thatcherisation are thought to influence configural processing in faces (Boutsen, Humphreys, Praamastra & Warbrick, 2006). We explored the effect of orientation and level of Thatcherisation (typical face, eyes Thatcherised, mouth Thatcherised, or both features Thatcherised) on early ERP components. Participants showed evidence of inversion effects leading to increased amplitude for inverted faces at the N170 and reduced amplitude to inverted faces at the P2. However, the effect of Thatcherisation was only evident in the right hemisphere N170 where there was a reduction in N170 amplitude with level of Thatcherisation. These data suggest two distinct processes (consistent with Towler, Gosling, Duchaine, & Eimer, 2012). In a follow-up study using the same task we tested PHD, an individual with acquired prosopagnosia known to be unable to perceive the Thatcher illusion (Mestry, Donnelly, Menneer & McCarthy, 2012). We did so to explore whether the markers of orientation and Thatcherisation would survive in the ERP in the absence of sensitivity to the Thatcher illusion. PHD did show a significant effect of inversion at both the N170 and P2. However, PHD produced no effect of Thatcherisation at the N170, in contrast to the effect found with typical participants. The results suggest that the effect of Thatcherisation manifest in the right hemisphere N170 underpins the perception of the Thatcher illusion. As the effects of orientation at the N170 and P2 are also found in an individual who does not perceive the illusion, then they cannot reflect the type of configural processing affected by the Thatcher illusion (Donnelly, Cornes and Menner, 2012). In conclusion, the novel N170 Thatcherisation effect is a marker of a kind of configural processing present in typical face processing that is affected by Thatcherisation (Mestry, Menneer, Wenger, & Donnelly, 2012)
