Interview with Hampton Hawes
No full textInterview with Hampton Hawes. Don Asher, his co-author on his autobiography Raise Up Off Of Me joins the interview after one musical selection is played (17:49-22:21). At least two other unnamed people are present and are heard in informal conversation after the formal interview ends at 1:01:26. The date is identified through Hawes' mention that Gene Ammons had died just the day before this interview. Hawes discusses his creative process and inspiration, what he wants to communicate with his music, societal expectations and rebellion, playing with Charlie Parker, bebop's reception and criticism of it, whether bebop appealed to his rebellious inclinations, Charlie Parker, drugs, and Billie Holiday attempting to protect him, rivalry among musicians in the 1940s and '50s, the centrality of New York, how he started with boogie woogie piano, influence by Bud Powell and Art Tatum, his book with Don Asher, work with Carol Kaye and Spider Webb, Kenny Clarke, his birth with six fingers, his religious upbringing, his army service in Japan and Japanese jazz musicians (Toshiko Akiyoshi, Sleepy Matsumoto, Akira Miyazawa) and their 1967 reunion album, an alternate story on how Charlie Parker got his "Bird" nickname, drugs, prison, his pardon from President Kennedy, the decline of the club scene, rock 'n' roll, Europe and jazz, jazz musicians dying young, the creative atmosphere, and his short-term goals
Louisa K. Fast 1920s Letter from Bess Armstrong Hawes
No full textA letter to Louisa K. Fast from Bess Armstrong Hawes (Mrs. MC. Armstrong). It is not dated. Louisa K. Fast was a prominent member in the Women's Suffrage Association, which later became the League of Women Voters in 1920. She was employed by the LWV to speak throughout Ohio to encourage women to form local chapters of the group. Later, Miss Fast was employed in the New York office of the International Relations Branch of the LWV. The collection of Louisa K. Fast correspondence are related to the League of Women Voters. This letter is from a private collection and was loaned to the library by Bonnie Boroff. The letter's contents are as follows.
Dear Miss Fast:
I wish I could stow myself away in your present and go with you.
If I could look back over the last few years & feel that I had done half as much for anything as worthwhile as The League of Women Voters & the C & CJ war it would be a very satisfactory feeling.
You might be interested to know that when the couple who owned the guppies took them home they made the fresh water too cold & all died (I had no report on the turtle).
Thank you for your card. Of course you were too busy to see me & I was in bed or just off it with jaundice & couldn't get to any meetings.
Bon Voyage,
Bess Armstrong Hawes

Dreaming of authors, authoring dreams: Literary authorship in the framed first-person allegories of John Skelton, William Dunbar, Stephen Hawes, and Gavin Douglas
No full textThis thesis investigates the distinctive conceptions of literary authorship of John Skelton, William Dunbar, Stephen Hawes, and Gavin Douglas by means of close and comparative readings of their utilisation of a particular form and mode: framed first-person allegory. Each of the poets examined makes claims for the textual authority of their writings—that is, those qualities which make a text worth reading and reproducing. For most, those claims are based on the attribution of the work to a human author, whose skill, learning, and morality add value to the text. Skelton’s strategy for authorial self-promotion of this kind is to represent himself as an author within an allegorical dream poem, for which Chaucer provides the most important models in English. Yet for others, framed first-person allegory functions as a largely depersonalised form and mode, a compilation and negotiation of texts and tradition, or sometimes as a way to represent the kind of author that the poet is not. This thesis asks: what kind of authors are imagined in the framed first-person allegories of late fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century English and Scottish poets?; but also, when is self-representation-as-author not considered to be the most effective strategy for authorial self-promotion, and what are the alternatives? Responses to changing systems of patronage and publication, cognizance of certain humanist ideals, and intersection of what have been understood as ‘medieval’ and ‘modern’ attitudes to poetic predecessors, especially Chaucer, are considered in the works of four poets who have too often been consigned to the footnotes of larger diachronic surveys. The picture that emerges is of an interconnected but multifaceted array of literary authorships, responsive to, but not determined by, contemporary political, social, and technological factors, and which complicate accounts of ‘the emergence of the English author’ in late medieval and early modern England and Scotland
Fault-tolerant Control of Robot Manipulators with Sensory Faults using Unbiased Active Inference
No full textThis work presents a novel fault-tolerant control scheme based on active inference. Specifically, a new formulation of active inference which, unlike previous solutions, provides unbiased state estimation and simplifies the definition of probabilistically robust thresholds for fault-tolerant control of robotic systems using the free-energy. The proposed solution makes use of the sensory prediction errors in the free-energy for the generation of residuals and thresholds for fault detection and isolation of sensory faults, and it does not require additional controllers for fault recovery. Results validating the benefits in a simulated 2-DOF manipulator are presented, and future directions to improve the current fault recovery approach are discussed.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Robot DynamicsTeam Riccardo Ferrar
