Joan Dillon papers
No full textJoan Kent Dillon (b. 1925) is a nationally known historic preservation activist, having served on the Board of Directors of the National Trust for Historic Preservation from 1980 to 1989 and the Smithsonian Institution from 1989 to the present. A long-time resident of Kansas City, Dillon began her involvement with historic theaters in 1974, when she purchased the Folly Theater in the city center. Over the next thirteen years she raised more than $5 million to renovate the former burlesque hall. Her activities with the Folly Theater led to her involvement with the League of Historic American Theaters (LHAT), on whose Board of Directors she served after 1978. Through her growing involvement with theaters, she met David Naylor, a photographer and author of two books on American movie theaters. Together they decided to pursue Dillon's longstanding idea of a book on nineteenth-century American theaters. In the period between 1994 and 1996, they traveled extensively, viewing, evaluating, and photographing theaters throughout the United States. The resulting book, American Theaters: Performance Halls of the Nineteenth Century, appeared in 1997. The papers focus exclusively on the research, preparation and publication of American Theaters: Performance Halls of the Nineteenth Century. The collection documents theaters included in the book, as well as theaters that were considered for inclusion but rejected. There are also a large number of photographs and slides of theaters documented in the files
Letter from Dillon Wesley Throckmorton, Minister, Trinity Methodist Church, to Caleb Foote, 1942
No full textLetter from Dillon Wesley Throckmorton to Caleb Foote: "1. The Japanese families here are anxious to be evacuated and resettled together, to that end we have place_ a plea with the W.C.C.A. That means I have no families for you to suggest to mid-west FOR folk. 2. The list will be sent you soon. Miss Round promised me Tuesday night she would get it out to you right away. Some time she is a bit slow doing things. I have written a letter announcing the next meeting for her. 3. The Methodist Aid committee for the Japanese Evacuation which we formed here last week has already done several small things to stone for the sins of our time, with the Japanese people. We have some real heart breaks here. I think I have answered the three requests. Funds seem to be a great difficulty with us. Some send direct to the N.Y. office, etc., others feel that we must do something here for a few needy cases, so we have been unable to send any your way yet. I know when they get your news sheet they will want to help however so getting the list to you right away is important. Success and service to you, Dillon."Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R.

Gifted young adolescents : voices of self
No full textDespite the challenges that giftedness can add to self-formation during early adolescence, gifted young adolescents seldom are asked about their lives outside of counselling and educational contexts. The study considers the complexities that face gifted young adolescents in the process of self-discovery and self-representation, thereby building a case for seeking their own viewpoints. A guiding assumption for the study was that gifted young adolescents may respond positively to the opportunity to share their own perspectives and their own versions of “who they are”. The theoretical underpinnings for this study drew from Dialogical Self Theory. The study resides within an interactive view of self as a dynamic construction rather than a static state, where “who we are” is formed in everyday exchanges with self and others. Self-making as a process among gifted young adolescents is presented as an interactive network of “I” voices interpreted to reflect internal and external dialogue. In this way, self is understood within dialogical concepts of voices as multiple expressions. The study invited twelve gifted young adolescents to write freely about themselves over a six month period in an email journal project. Participants were recruited online and by word-of-mouth and they were able to negotiate their own levels of involvement. Access to the lives of individual young adolescents was sought in an out-of-school setting using narrative methods of personal writing in the form of journals sent as emails to the researcher. The role of the researcher was to act as a supportive listener who responded to participant-led emails and thereby facilitated the process of authoring that occurred across the data-gathering phase. The listening process involved responses that were affirming and designed to build trust. Data in the form of email texts were analysed using a close listening method that uncovered patterns of voices that were explicitly or subtly expressed by participants. The interpretation of voices highlighted the tensions and contradictions involved in the process of participants forming a “self” that emerged as multiple “I” voices. There were three key findings of the study. First, the gifted young adolescent participants each constructed a self around four key voices of Author, Achiever, Resistor/Co-operator and Self-Innovator. These voices were dialogical selfconstructions that showed multiplicity as a normal way of being. Second, the selfmaking processes of the gifted young adolescent participants were guided by a hierarchy of voices that were directed through self-awareness. Third, authoring in association with a responsive adult listener emerged as a dialogic space for promoting self-awareness and a language of self-expression among gifted young adolescents. The findings of the study contribute to knowledge about gifted young adolescents by presenting their own versions of “who” they are, perspectives that might differ from mainstream perceptions. Participants were shown to have highly diverse, complex and individual expressions that have implications for how well they are understood and supported by others. The use of email journals helped to create a synergy for self-disclosure and a safe space for self-expression where participants’ abilities to be themselves were encouraged. Increased self-awareness and selfknowledge among gifted young adolescents is vital to their self-formation and their management of self and others’ expectations. This study makes an original contribution to the field of self-study by highlighting the processes and complexities of young adolescents’ self-constructions. Through the innovative use of narrative methods and an inter-disciplinary approach, the voices of gifted young adolescents were privileged. At a practical level, the study can inform educators, policy-makers, parents and all those who seek to contribute to the well-being of gifted young adolescents

Plagiohammus Dillon & Dillon 1941
No full textOn Plagiohammus Dillon & Dillon, 1941 Thomson (1856) used for the first time the generic name Hammoderus to include a single species, H. buquetii Thomson, 1856 (type species by original monotypy). Currently, Hammoderus buquetii is known as Taeniotes luciani Thomson, 1859 (nomen novum to avoid homonymy with Taeniotes buquetii Tasté, 1841). According to Thomson (1859): “Le nom de T. Buquetii ayant déjà été employé par M. Taslé (Rev. zool., 1841, p. 14) pour désigner une espèce d’un genre voisin de celui-ci, j’ai substitué à cette première espèce celui de T. Luciani.” Thomson (1857) considered Hammoderus Thomson, 1856 as a subgenus of Taeniotes. According to him: “ L’Hammoderus Buquetii Thomson (Ann. Soc. Ent. 3e série 1856, vol. IV, p. 329, pl. 8, fig. 1), doit rentrer dans le genre Taeniotes, parmi les espèces de la première division, dont les élytres sont arrondies à l’extrémité”. Thus, Thomson (1857) defined the subgenus Taeniotes (Hammoderus) as having the elytral apex without spine, and included two species in this subgenus: T. (H.) buquetii and T. (H.) inermis. Thomson (1859) considered Hammoderus as a genus distinct from Taeniotes: “Le Taeniotes inermis, Thomson (Arch. Ent., I, 1857, p. 173), n’appartient probablement pas au genre actuel [Taeniotes], son dernier segment abdominal n’étant pas épineux; cette espèce peut être rapportée avec doute au G. Hammoderus, Dej., Cat., 3e édit., p. 367.” Although he had considered Hammoderus as a distinct genus, it is evident that he was referring to Hammoderus sensu Thomson (1856) for the inclusion of H. buquetii. Thomson (1860) formally differentiated Hammoderus from Taeniotes, attributing the first one to Dejean (1837). Four species were included, H. inermis (Fig. 33) and three others described in the same work: H. lacordairei (Fig. 32); H. sallei (Fig. 34) and H. spinipennis (Fig. 25). However, contrary to Thomson’s judgment, and according to Bousquet & Bouchard (2013): “ Hammoderus Dejean, 1835: 341 . Originally included available species: none.” Thus, Hammoderus cannot be attributed to Dejean (1835) and the actual author of this name is Thomson (1860). Agassiz (1846) replaced Hammoderus Dejean (1835) as Hammatoderus. However, as seen before, Hammoderus is an unavailable name in Dejean (1835). Consequently, Hammatoderus Agassiz, 1847 is also an unavailable name, because it is a replacement name for another unavailable name, without inclusion of species. Thomson (1864) designated the type species of Hammoderus Thomson, 1860: H. lacordairei Thomson, 1860 (“ Hammoderus Thomson. Ess. Class. Céramb. p. 98. Type: H. Lacordairei Thomson l. c. Mexique.”). So, two distinct generic taxa were described with the same name by Thomson in 1856 and 1860 – Hammoderus Thomson, 1856 and Hammoderus Thomson, 1860 – and, thus, these names are homonyms. The type species of Hammoderus Thomson, 1856, is now placed in Taeniotes; hence, Hammoderus Thomson, 1856 is a junior synonym of Taeniotes. Hammoderus Thomson, 1860, in turn, is a junior homonym of Hammoderus Thomson, 1856 and, consequently, it is considered as permanently invalid by the ICZN (1999, Articles 52.2 and 60.1). Thus, no taxon can be named using this name and one of its junior synonym must be used instead. According to Gemminger & Harold (1873): “ Hammatoderus. άΜΜα, nodus; δέρη, collum. Thomson. Classif. Longic. 1860. p. 98. (emend.) Hammoderus Thoms. ” Seven species were included: H. elatus Bates, 1872; H. impluviatus Lacordaire, 1869; H. inermis; H. lacordairei; H. rubefactus Bates, 1872; H. sallei; H. spinipennis. Hammatoderus Gemminger & Harold, 1873 is an unjustified emendation. Thus, according to the ICZN (1999): “33.2. Emendations. Any demonstrably intentional change in the original spelling of a name other than a mandatory change is an "emendation"”; and, “33.2.3. Any other emendation is an "unjustified emendation"; the name thus emended is available and it has its own author and date and is a junior objective synonym of the name in its original spelling; it enters into homonymy and can be used as a substitute name.” Also according to the ICZN (1999): “67.8. Type species of nominal genus-group taxa denoted by new replacement names (nomina nova). If an author publishes a new genus-group name expressly as a new replacement name (nomen novum) for a previously established name, or replaces a previously established genus-group name by an unjustified emendation [Art. 33.2.3], both the prior nominal taxon and its replacement have the same type species, and type fixation for either applies also to the other, despite any statement to the contrary.” Thus, the type species of Hammatoderus is the same of Hammoderus Thomson (1860): Hammoderus lacordairei. Dillon & Dillon (1941) established Plagiohammus as a replacement name for Hammoderus Thomson, 1860: “Thomson in his description of Hammoderus in the second sense (1860), included lacordairei, sallei, inermis and spinipennis. Of these spinipennis is the form most frequently encountered, and is selected as the genotype. In his first use of the generic name Hammoderus, he described buquetii with it, which species is now in Taeniotes under T. luciani.” However, as seen above, Hammatoderus was an older available name to replace Hammoderus Thomson, 1857. Hence, Plagiohammus is a junior synonymy of Hammatoderus. Article 23.9 (ICZN 1999) cannot be used to maintain Plagiohammus because the Article 23.9.1.2 is not applicable. In summary: Hammoderus Thomson, 1856, invalid name by being a junior subjective synonym of Taeniotes Audinet-Serville, 1835 Type species— Hammoderus buquetii, by original monotypy (= Taeniotes luciani Thomson, 1859). Hammoderus Thomson, 1860; senior objective synonym of Hammatoderus Gemminger & Harold, 1873 and Plagiohammus Dillon & Dillon, 1941; and permanently invalid by being a junior homonym of Hammoderus Thomson, 1856. Type species— Hammoderus lacordairei Thomson, 1860 (designated by Thomson, 1864) Hammatoderus Gemminger & Harold, 1873; valid name: replacement name for Hammoderus Thomson, 1860 (non Hammoderus Thomson, 1856). Type species— Hammoderus lacordairei Thomson, 1860 (designated by Thomson, 1864). Plagiohammus Dillon & Dillon, 1941; proposed as an unnecessary replacement name for Hammoderus Thomson, 1860 Type species— Hammoderus lacordairei Thomson, 1860, not Hammatoderus spinipennis as proposed by Dillon & Dillon (1941) (see article 67.8 of the ICZN, 1999)Published as part of Botero, Juan Pablo & Santos-Silva, Antonio, 2017, Four new species, taxonomic, and nomenclatural notes in Hammatoderus Gemminger & Harold, 1873 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae), pp. 377-397 in Zootaxa 4231 (3) on pages 378-379, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4231.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/29091
