    Viola M. Harrison letter to Lucile Atcherson, August 14, 1914

    No full text
    On August 14, 1914, the executive secretary of the Nebraska Woman Suffrage Association, Viola M. Harrison, sent this letter to Lucile Atcherson, a suffragist in central Ohio and executive secretary of the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association. Harrison wrote to Atcherson to confirm that the Nebraska Woman Suffrage Association's state banner, which had been on loan with the FCWSA, had arrived safely in Lincoln, Nebraska. Harrison also congratulated Atcherson on a successful petition event in Ohio, and expressed her hopes for both Ohio and Nebraska to achieve equal suffrage for women. The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex

    Subtribe * Homotomina Heslop-Harrison, 1958, stat. nov. Psausiini Bekker-Migdisova, 1973: 102. Included genus * Homotoma Guérin-Méneville, 1844 (syn.

    Subfamily * Phacopteroninae Heslop-Harrison, 1958 stat. nov. Phacoseminae Kieffer, 1906: 387 (the substitute name Phacopteronidae is maintained according to the ICZN 1999/2012, article 40.2). Pseudophacopterini Bekker-Migdisova, 1973: 103. Pseudophacopteroninae Li, 2011: 233. Comments The Phacopteroninae is strongly supported as a monophylum in both mtg trees and morphologically (Heslop-Harrison 1958; White & Hodkinson 1985). The subfamily corresponds to the concept of Burckhardt & Ouvrard (2012). The genera are poorly defined and their phylogenetic relationships are unknown. Included genera * Cornegenapsylla Yang & Li, 1982 (syn. Neophacopteron); Phacopteron Buckton, 1896 (syn. Phacosema); Phacosemoides Costa Lima & Guitton, 1962; * Pseudophacopteron Enderlein, 1921 (syn. Chineura); Sulciana † Klimaszewski, 1998.Published as part of Burckhardt, Daniel, Ouvrard, David & Percy, Diana M., 2021, An updated classification of the jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) integrating molecular and morphological evidence, pp. 137-182 in European Journal of Taxonomy 736 on page 145, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2021.736.1257, http://zenodo.org/record/459433

    Pattern-Responsive Lexicon Optimization

    No full text
    In this paper, we show that current interpretations of Lexicon Optimization (Prince and Smolensky 1993), in particular that of Archiphonemic Underspecification (Inkelas 1995), incorrectly predict the distribution of underspecification in lexical entries. We present cases from three vowel harmony languages in which speakers treat harmonic and disharmonic roots differently under reduplication. The assumption of full specification entails a ranking paradox, which can be resolved if underspecification is admitted in certain contexts not predicted by the principles of Lexicon Optimization. We point the way towards an expanded model of Lexicon Optimization that would both allow for and predict such cases of underspecification.The definitive version of this paper was published in NELS 30: Proceedings of the North East Linguistic Society 30 (2000) and is available at http://glsa.hypermart.net/cgi-bin/list.cgi?NELS%NELS30%5%NFunding for fieldwork was provided by the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX).Harrison, David K. & Kaun A.

    Thoreau as a free-lance journalist

    No full text
    Vita.That the author of Walden and "Civil Disobedience" also wrote for newspapers and magazines tends to be lost on Henry David Thoreau's increasing readership. Yet he referred to himself as a reporter to the gazettes and his neighbors; he free-lanced articles to periodicals for pay; and he utilized (unpaid) literary agents. He worked endlessly at perfecting his reportorial skills and the art of writing. He recorded daily in a journal for twenty-four years what he learned and thought. The usefulness to modern writers of his conclusions may equal the relevance and appeal to general readers of his genius for joyful, self-reliant living in harmony with nature. And an examination of him as a free-lance writer from the viewpoint of modern journalism may broaden our understanding of this enigmatic genius and his place in literary history. Growing up in Concord, Massachusetts, Thoreau made its surrounding woods, fields, and eaters his textbook of nature, his microcosm of the universe, and one of his two chosen reporting beats. The other beat was human nature, and he searched within himself as Representative Man for ultimate truths. In his essays, he reported the findings that he considered most newsworthy. The reports often concerned thoughts rather than events, for he considered thoughts the epochs of life, and he found the imagined more real than the actual. His education included four years at Harvard, only fifteen miles from his beloved Concord, to which he returned for good.

    Design with intent: Persuasive technology in a wider context

    Persuasive technology can be considered part of a wider field of ‘Design with Intent’ (DwI) – design intended to result in certain user behaviour. This paper gives a very brief review of approaches to DwI from different disciplines, and looks at how persuasive technology sits within this space
