Bill Tremblay, 12th Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textBill Tremblay is the author of five books of poetry. The poems in Crying in the Cheap Seats, 1971, were called ambitious and intense, natural and sprawling. His vision is turned in on himself and turned back on the world, on the crises of conscience that envelop all men. The Anarchist Heart, 1977, drew this praise: Bill Tremblay\u27s poems are committed to life… . Tremblay looks at his history and moment, tangles with it all, struggles from it and deals it to us in the poem. Home Front, 1978, brought this response: Bill Tremblay\u27s poetry grows like the broadening light of day: discovering new angles and textures in the old human concerns, seeking out the pockets of shadow which mask true motive and feeling. Of Second Sun: New and Selected Poems, 1985, critics said, There is often a wonderful energy...a kind of whirling energy...he has a fantastic grasp of the way human psyches, especially those in distress, move, and he does not encourage the pale esthetic stuff…but writing about the most important experiences... . Duhamel: Ideas of Order in Little Canada, a collection of poems in the voice of a French-Canadian painter living in New England, has been praised for the way the harsh complex clarity and the paradoxically tender compassion of this book make an extraordinary power for the dimensions of its hero. Bill Tremblay offers a unique testament to a world whose brutal fragility has found no other way to speak. Born in Connecticut, Tremblay now lives in Fort Collins, Colorado, and teaches at Colorado State University
Mixing the Immiscible: Improvisation within Fixed-Media Composition
No full textThis paper will explore ways in which mastered improvisation practice, with the studio as an instrument, is a proposed avenue to bridge the historical dichotomy between what Ted Gioia describe as ‘the aesthetics of perfection’ and ‘the aesthetics of imperfection’. It is proposed as a way to re-embody fixed music, as experimented by the author through the composition of his last fixed-media work. This will be put in the context of a wider trend observed amongst the current emerging generation of composers interested in the aesthesics of the work, by opposition to the previous generations that placed the value of the work in its poietics. The vital and primal importance of practice outcome as practice-based research’s main document will also be advocated for, as these trends are happening in the laboratory of live music
Clustering of children's activity behaviour: the use of self-report versus direct measures
No full textAbstract While we concur with the objectives of the recent International Journal of Behavioural Nutrition and Physical Activity paper published by Jago and colleagues titled "Physical activity and sedentary behaviour typologies of 10-11 year olds", we feel that the results as currently presented do not support their conclusions. Though the authors created groups of children with dramatically different patterns of self-reported physical activity and sedentary behaviour, an inspection of the objectively measured accelerometry data shows little difference between the groups. Further, in at least one instance the difference between groups was of the opposite direction when using objective measures, as opposed to the self-report measures used in the published analysis. Thus, we caution the authors from making conclusions based on their self-report data, and propose that they re-analyze their data using their objectively measured data instead.</p

Acute Sedentary Behaviour and Markers of Cardiometabolic Risk: A Systematic Review of Intervention Studies
No full textNorth Americans spend half their waking hours engaging in sedentary behaviour. Although several recent interventions suggest that short bouts of uninterrupted sedentary behaviour may result in acute increases in cardiometabolic risk, this literature has not been reviewed systematically. This study performed a systematic review of the impact of uninterrupted sedentary behaviour lasting ≤7 days on markers of cardiometabolic risk (insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, and fasting insulin, glucose, and lipid levels) in humans. Interventions were identified through systematic searches of Medline and Embase and screened by 2 independent reviewers. A total of 25 interventions were identified that examined the impact of imposed sedentary behaviour on biomarkers of interest. The majority of these studies focused on healthy young men, with very little identified research on females or other age groups. We found consistent, moderate quality evidence that uninterrupted sedentary behaviour ≤7 days results in moderate and deleterious changes in insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, and plasma triglyceride levels. In contrast, there is inconsistent, very low-quality evidence linking uninterrupted sedentary behaviour with changes in insulin, glucose, and HDL- and LDL-cholesterol levels. These findings suggest that uninterrupted bouts of sedentary behaviour should be avoided in order to prevent or attenuate transient increases in metabolic risk
