Request for goods from P. J. Willis to L. De Bona.
No full textLeonard de Bona was a businessman, possibly of Italian descent, in Eagle Pass, Texas, who ran a hardware and supply store in that area for nearly 20 years. He served as a point of contact for customers throughout South Texas and nearby Mexico, providing not only hardware but food, clothing, and sundries. He had business contacts in San Antonio, Chicago, and abroad (Central Mexico, Italy, and other locations.)Archive of Correspondence relating to L. de Bona's Eagle Pass Hardware and Supply Store from 1887-1903 and undated.

Letter from Fred L. Willis to Jacob T. Bowne (April 15, 1886)
No full textThis is a one-page handwritten letter written by Fred L. Willis to Jacob T. Bowne. The letter is dated April 15, 1886 and is in regards to funds that are to be used for the furnishing of a room in the new School for Christian Workers building. There is handwritten notes on the back of the letter. It is not known whether these notes were made by the author of the letter or by someone else. These notes were not transcribed as they were very difficult to read.The building has been known by many different names over the years including the Winchester Square Building, the Mason Square building and the Armory Hill building. Construction on the building was completed in the spring of 1886 and it was dedicated on June 1 of that year. The building consisted of a reading room, gymnasium, parlor, a recitation room, an amusement room and fifty sleeping rooms. The Armory Hill YMCA also rented rooms in the building. In 1891 James Naismith, while a faculty member at the school, invented the game of basketball in the gymnasium of the building. In 1890 the School for Christian Workers separated into two schools which continued to operate out of the same building, the YMCA Training School and the School for Christian Workers. In 1896 the Training School, now Springfield College, finished the transition to its new location on Alden Street and in 1897 the School for Christian Workers became the Bible Normal College and moved to Hartford, Connecticut. The original building was torn down in 1965 to create a parking lot. In 1995, McDonald’s Corporation bought the land, excavating the original foundation and bricks before building a restaurant on the site. Today, there is a monument commemorating the site as the birthplace of basketball.The second page has not been transcribed as the text was very difficult to make out and it was felt that there would be too many mistakes to make it worthwhile.
From hospital contributory schemes to health cash plans: mutualism in health care in the post-war period.
No full textThe article traces the post-war history of the British hospital contributory schemes, which had developed during the inter-war years to the point where, through the accumulation of small weekly contributions from a mass membership, they provided substantial proportions of hospital income. A minority of contributory schemes remained in existence post-1948, but their subsequent development has received little attention. Some evolved into provident associations offering private health insurance; others remained committed to the provision of low-cost benefits to a blue-collar clientele, and continued to be known as hospital contributory schemes. This article outlines the principal features of the contributory schemes' contemporary history. We first explore why many schemes decided to continue in existence. The next section uses national and individual scheme records to delineate the market niche which they captured and to investigate their role in post-war health provision, relative to the state system. In particular we trace the decline of convalescent home benefit, and the gradual trend towards a more uniform benefit package, of which optical and dental grants were the most popular. We then survey patterns of membership and account for the main trends in support for cash plan products since 1950. Finally, we ask to what extent the schemes were able to retain their character as a ‘movement’ with distinctive mutualist and charitable features, particularly in the more competitive environment of the later twentieth century
Effective Willis constitutive equations for periodically stratified anisotropic elastic media
No full textA method to derive homogeneous effective constitutive equations for periodically layered elastic media is proposed. The crucial and novel idea underlying the procedure is that the coefficients of the dynamic effective medium can be associated with the matrix logarithm of the propagator over a unit period. The effective homogeneous equations are shown to have the structure of a Willis material, characterized by anisotropic inertia and coupling between momentum and strain, in addition to effective elastic constants. Expressions are presented for the Willis material parameters which are formally valid at any frequency and horizontal wavenumber as long as the matrix logarithm is well defined. The general theory is exemplified for scalar SH motion. Low frequency, long wavelength expansions of the effective material parameters are also developed using a Magnus series and explicit estimates for the rate of convergence are derived.Peer reviewedReceived July 22, 2010; accepted December 15, 2010; published online April 21, 2011.

Furthering research and practice in school-university partnerships in the context of preservice teacher education
No full textBeyond boundaries in teacher education: Promoting collaboration and partnership
Together with my colleagues, Associate Professor Debbie Heck from the University of the Sunshine Coast and Dr Helen Grimmett from Monash University, I have an interest in engaging in furthering research and practice in school-university partnerships in the context of preservice teacher education. Since 2014, when I was appointed the Director of the Master of Teaching (Primary) program at The University of Queensland, Debbie, Helen and I have been using innovative strategies such as cogenerative dialogues and metalogues to investigate how effective school-university partnerships may be developed and sustained. Simultanesously, we have explored these and other dialogic pedagogies together with the concept of cogenerativity to probe the notion of teacher professionalism – both for preservice teachers and our own as teacher educators. Debbie, Helen, and I have continued to collaborate over the past five years, having benefited from earlier TERI ventures and translation of our participation in these activities into international publications (peer-reviewed journal articles and chapters) and national conference presentations.
