Concurrent Paper Session 3C: The Bookish Imagination
No full textThe Further Adventures of Ed Brown - Dan Hamilton
The E. W. Brown Collection at Taylor University was previously the fine private library of Dr. Ed Brown of Indianapolis. The story behind that 30-year collecting process was documented in the 2006 book In Pursuit of C. S. Lewis. Dr. Brown died in 2015; coauthor Dan Hamilton will share some of the additional books-and-people tales discovered in his notes and papers.
Surprised by Misquotes: Unexpected Findings from The Misquotable C.S. Lewis - William O\u27Flaherty
One need not look hard on social media to come across a quotation falsely attributed to Lewis. However, that is not the only type of misquote seen online (or even in print). In my recently published The Misquotable C. S. Lewis, I point out there are also paraphrases of Lewis and words from him that are out of context to be aware of. In addition to providing examples of each of those types, I also present in this paper the surprising names that are associated in one way or another with Lewis misquotes. The cast of unlikely characters include Ryan Seacrest, actors Tim Allen, Matt Dillon. and Anthony Hopkins; authors Max Lucado, Melody Beattie, and John R. Stott; and even Lewis scholars Jerry Root and Walter Hooper. Finally, some of what Lewis actually wrote is presented to contrast a few of the most common misquotes.
Transcribing George MacDonald\u27s Hamlet - Kaylen Dwyer
The Library that Jack Built: An Historical and Narrative Account of the Personal Library of C.S. Lewis - Roger White
This presentation includes an overview of the formation and evolution of C. S. Lewis’s library over his lifetime, a detailed historical account of the library’s dispersal near the time of his death, and results of research to re-discover and, where possible, identify the current locations of the library’s contents. In 1985, the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College acquired the majority of the books. Prior to that acquisition, hundreds of other books belonging to Lewis were dispersed through gifts and sale; others were lost. In addition to the Wade Center, portions of Lewis’s library are housed at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; Taylor University; Azusa Pacific University; Wroxton College, Oxfordshire; Magdalene College, Cambridge; and the Bodleian Library, Oxford. Several hundred books are privately owned. Presentation attendees are invited to provide feedback and suggestions on ways to make the findings accessible to researchers as the data is finalized and prepared for publication
The Taylor MacDonald Hamlet Manuscript: A Project of Descriptive and Interpretive Bibliographic Scholarship
No full textGeorge MacDonald, a Victorian writer well known for his fairy-tales, was also popular in his day for lectures on literature, especially and including works of Shakespeare. In 1885, he published his own critical edition of The Tragedie of Hamlet, but before doing so, he heavily annotated a copy of the play interleaved with blank pages. Taylor University acquired this manuscript in 2002. Since December 2016, undergraduate students at Taylor have actively engaged in both self-directed and faculty-mentored studies of the manuscript. Our team, under the leadership of two faculty advisors, spent the summer of 2017 comparing the manuscript to the published 1885 Tragedie of Hamlet. During the course of our study, we hoped to learn the provenance of the manuscript by studying its physicality and connecting it to MacDonald\u27s life. Through bibliographic study, we hoped to provide additional proof of MacDonald\u27s extensive scholarship, especially as it pertains to drama and Shakespeare. Furthermore, we began the search for other known MacDonald manuscripts, and aside from the other two known Hamlet manuscripts attributed to him (at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C. and at the Shakespeare Library in Stratford, UK), we discovered similar interleaved manuscripts by MacDonald of King Lear and Timon of Athens. Each of the three students contributed their own individual study to the project-a literary critical look at MacDonald\u27s perspectives on Shakespeare and Hamlet; a comparative analysis of the manuscript; and a biographical study of MacDonald\u27s development as a Shakespearean scholar

Title: Monster Study
Place: 1st
Description of how the work connects to the public domain, provided by the author:
""Monster Study"" directly incorporates texts from Mary Tudor’s masters thesis published by the University of Iowa in 1939, as well as segments of two newspaper articles written on the experiment decades after it took place. The piece abruptly alternates between sections of the experiment report from sampled texts recorded by children in the study to experiment methods, results, and, finally, long-term impact. The soprano vocal lines depict Mary at different times throughout the experiment. Not only does the text drive the dramatic arc of the work, but textual lines are considered and set with pure sonic elements of each word in mind. Viola and cello drive transitions between musical sections of the work and support the vocal textures above. The climax of the piece depicts Mary Tudor looking back on the experiment, at which point it is revealed the experiment was controversial from the beginning in the eyes of Mary’s mentor, Dr. Johnson, who refused to personally publish this thesis written by his specially-selected female student.

Title: “Little Lily Swing MV”
Place: 4th
Description of how the work connects to the public domain, provided by the author:
The inspiration for my project is a video game called Cup Head, which is an indie game released in 2017. I love the graphic design and the soundtrack of the game so much. The art direction of celluloid animation and jazz music brought me back to childhood. To pay homage to this masterpiece, I create this music video and hopefully make people happy :). The background music genre is Acid Jazz, remixed by Tri-Tachyon. The cel animes are mostly produced between the 1930s to 1950s, therefore the footage is not high resolution and drops frame sometimes. However, the flaws are somehow aesthetically amusing. All the assets are downloaded from archive.org and freemusicarchive.org.

Title: Waking Life
Place: 2nd
Description of how the work connects to the public domain, provided by the author:
‘Waking Life’ is a song by the band Old Sol, in which my twin brother is a part of. With their permission, I created a compilation of different animated cartoons from the public domain to piece together a narrative that goes along with the song. There are many different individual cartoons that appear, but I carefully combined them to create a singular piece that takes place in a dreamland. Or a state of ignoring the outside world by sleeping your days away. The song is the primary driving force behind the emotion and ideas presented in the video. The song also allows for different interpretation of the animations, making them appear much happier then when seen in their original state. The video places emphasis on a boy and a girl who escape from reality by finding happiness in their dreams. It starts with them entering and ends with them leaving dreamland. The song and video are intended to be happy, but also leave interpretation for what happens when the song and video end, and these characters must deal with their lives, and not run from it.

Status, trends, and population demographics of selected sportfish species in the La Grange Reach of the Illinois River
Get PDFSportfish species, specifically Yellow Bass Morone mississippiensis, White Bass Morone chrysops, Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides, Bluegill Lepomis macrochirus, Black Crappie Pomoxis nigromaculatus, and White Crappie P. annularis, often drive economically valuable fisheries in large river systems, including the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS). Within the Illinois River, part of the UMRS, these species are routinely sampled by an ongoing long-term fisheries monitoring program. Through this program, we investigated long-term trends (1993-2017) in catch rates and relative weights and quantified demographic rates from 2012-2016. We found all six species, with the exception of Yellow Bass, to have declining catch rates with this decline being most stark in larger, older fishes. Population demographics for Yellow Bass, White Bass, Bluegill, and Black Crappie suggest populations are dominated by younger individuals, with only Black Crappie regularly living to age 3 and older, which may be driving population declines. There are many environmental stressors acting on the Illinois River that could be contributing to the lack of older and larger fishes, including, but not limited to, navigation efforts, altered hydrology, pollution, sedimentation, lack of overwintering habitat, and introduction of invasive species. Results of this study demonstrate that additional research to understand mechanisms driving reduced abundance and stunted age structure are needed to identify effective management actions that would benefit populations of recreationally valuable sportfish species.is peer reviewedOpen Restriction set for Item 114721 on 2020-05-15T21:23:34Z with date null by [email protected] by Kaylen Dwyer ([email protected]) on 2020-05-15T21:29:46Z

Well-being, teaching and the Elderly: a rewarding, instructive and exchange experience
No full textLa gerontología educativa, recupera el valor de la educación como herramienta para la mejora y el cambio personal y
social, así como el desarrollo del bienestar físico, psíquico, cognitivo, afectivo, personal, social y moral de las
personas mayores. Partiendo de la observación hemos valorado en esta ponencia las experiencias de la autora principal y otros profesores al impartir clases en el aula del Adulto Mayor en la Casa de Abuelos “Eterna Esperanza”
de Arroyo Arenas, La Lisa, en ella mostramos algunos criterios y valoraciones de los cursantes referidos a ¿cómo les
ha servido el curso en su desarrollo personal, educativo y desde el punto de vista afectivo y emocional?,
comprobando que no importa la edad para aprender, si existe el deseo y las capacidades para hacerlo y ¿cómo el
curso les ayudó a mejorar en esta etapa y sentirse más activos?. Se logró con el curso motivar a los abuelos en el
estudio y la búsqueda de conocimientos, algunos utilizando las Tics apoyados por sus hijos y nietos, logrando también
un acercamiento de la familia y a la Casa de Abuelos, sintiéndose orgullosos de lo logrado por ellos, con la
culminación del curso y su graduación en la Universidad de Ciencias Informáticas, a criterio de la autora es uno de los
logros más importantes de la experiencia vivida todos ( incluyendo a la autora), además de rescatar el trabajo en
equipo, la solidaridad entre ellos , logrando un clima afectivo y familiar dentro de la Casa de Abuelos.Educational gerontology recovers the value of education as a tool for personal and social improvement and change,
as well as the development of the physical, mental, cognitive, affective, personal, social and moral well-being of the
elderly. Starting from the observation we have valued in this presentation the experiences of the main author and
other teachers when teaching in the classroom for the Elderly in the "Eterna Esperanza" Grandparents' House in
Arroyo Arenas, La Lisa, in it we show some criteria and evaluations of the students referred to how the course has
served them in their personal, educational development and from the affective and emotional point of view?, verifying
that the age does not matter to learn, if there is the desire and the capacities to do it and how Did the course help
them improve at this stage and feel more active? It was possible with the course to motivate the grandparents in the
study and the search for knowledge, some using ICTs supported by their children and grandchildren, also achieving
an approach to the family and the Grandparents' House, feeling proud of what they had achieved, With the
completion of the course and graduation from the University of Informatics Sciences, in the author's opinion it is one
of the most important achievements of the experience lived by all (including the author), in addition to rescuing
teamwork, solidarity between them, achieving an affective and familiar climate within the Grandparents' House
