Ella Costillo Bennett and daughter, Mary L. Bennett, Los Angeles, California, 1930
No full textPhotograph of Ella Costillo Bennett and daughter, Mary L. Bennett in Los Angeles, California, 1930.
Journalist-author Ella Costillo Bennett was born in Memphis in 1865 to Irish-born parents, Michael Charles and Ellen Doyle Bennett. In the summer of 1874, her father\u27s income dramatically declined, changing the family\u27s lifestyle greatly. Ella attended the Memphis public schools, where she excelled academically. She left Memphis for a time to travel via train with her mother, sister Mary L., and future brother-in-law George Nichols to Louisville, Kentucky and on north to Chicago, which was just recovering from its disastrous 1871 fire. They did not live in Chicago long, but returned to Memphis, where the family survived the Yellow Fever epidemics of the late 1870s. After her sister\u27s marriage to George Nichols, Ella and her mother moved to Denver, Colorado where their lives were totally different from the recent years in Memphis. Ella attended the Arapahoe School, where she wrote her first poem, which received praise for its promise from Denver poet and feature writer, Eugene Fields.
After her mother\u27s death in 1883, Ella married George Sexton Bennett of Lexington, Kentucky, with whom she had three children. The younger son was named Raphael and the daughter Mary L. Bennett. Following the birth of their third child, economic necessity forced Ella to write for the newspaper, the Portland Oregonian, beginning in 1892. In 1898-99 while living in Chicago, she wrote for Events and the Interocean. From 1902 to 1904 she wrote for the Denver Post and did free-lance and dramatic criticism for a number of California newspapers, including the Sam Francisco Wasp, the Overland Monthly and. the San Francisco Bulletin. Some years after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Ella and George Bennett were divorced. Thereafter, Ella supported herself and her children through her writings. She wrote a book Abelard and Heloise (in addition to her newspaper copy.) The last years of her life were spent in Los Angeles, where she died in 1932.https://digitalcommons.memphis.edu/speccoll-mss-bennettec2/1005/thumbnail.jp

Trees and public liability - who really decides what is reasonably safe
No full textThis article has its origins in investigations that the author has been undertaking into the effects of public safety and liability perception in the built and natural environment (e.g. Bennett & Crowe, 2008; Bennett, 2009 and Bennett & Gibbeson, 2010). In these previous studies the author and colleagues have examined the impact of public safety and liability concerns upon memorial management in cemeteries, access to the countryside and to the training of built environment professionals. In these studies the aim has been to explore how the liability perceptions of owners and managers of such places is formed, and specifically whether public safety and liability perceptions have a tendency to cluster around certain patterns and conventions within particular ‘interpretive communities’ (Fish 1980). Underlying these studies is a hypothesis that lay communities are at least as important as lawyers and courts in setting what the law regarding liability for site safety actually is in practice. In this paper the aim is to directly engage with an interpretive community that is engaged in a phase of public safety and liability anxiety, in this case current debate about the merits (or otherwise) of setting explicit standards for the safety inspection of trees
Incidence of bullying and victimisation among adolescents in New Zealand
No full textBullying and victimisation are highly prevalent among young people, and both bullies and victims exhibit negative outcomes (Stassen Berger, 2007). Adolescents are greatly involved in bullying and experience particularly adverse outcomes in comparison with children (Kim & Leventhal, 2008; Simon-Davies, 2011). Furthermore bullying phenomena are under-researched in New Zealand samples. This paper aims to describe the nature of bullying and victimisation in a large sample of New Zealand adolescents and compare the findings to results from international samples. Four types of bullying will be assessed: traditional bullying inside the school, traditional bullying outside the school, cyber bullying via text message and cyber bullying via the internet. The same four types of victimisation will also be assessed

The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
