Decius S. Wade\u27s Necessity for Codification
Get PDFDecius S. Wade, former Montana Territorial Supreme Court Justice and Code Commissioner, delivered this address to the Helena Bar Association on April 5, 1894. The address came slightly more than two years after Wade, as one of the three Code Commissioners, had reported draft Civil, Political, Penal, and Procedural Codes to the State Auditor and slightly less than one year before Governor John E. Rickards signed the four codes as passed by the Fourth Legislature. Wade\u27s address came just after the Third Legislature, split three ways among the Democrats, Republicans, and Populists and unable to settle on United States Senators, had failed to even consider the codes (or anything else of substance.) By some accounts, Wade\u27s address played a major role in persuading Montanans to adopt the four codes.
Wade was a significant figure in Montana\u27s legal community. Coming to Montana early in the territorial period from a relatively humble background, Wade served as Chief Justice of the Territorial Supreme Court for over sixteen years-- longer than any other member of that court. He authored 192 opinions, roughly thirty percent of that court\u27s output, including many of its most important decisions. Wade also wrote several important articles on Montana\u27s legal history. His address to the Helena Bar Association was thus a major event in the new state\u27s legal development.
Wade does not break new ground in his speech - the arguments he marshals are largely ones articulated earlier by others in other states. Sometimes he acknowledges this, as when he quotes directly from Judge John F. Dillon\u27s remarks to the American Bar Association in 1886; sometimes he does not. It would be surprising if Wade had been able to articulate original arguments for codification. The subject had been debated in the United States since at least 1811, when Jeremy Bentham wrote to President James Madison to offer to compose an American code. New York had just finished a decade of often bitter debate during the 1880s. That debate had involved two of the most prominent lawyers in America, David Dudley Field and James C. Carter, and their writings on the subject were widely circulated.
What Wade did in this essay is pull those earlier arguments together and apply them to Montana. In doing so, he helped persuade Montana to undertake a revolution in her statute law --replacing the volumes of session laws with four comprehensive and weighty (170 pounds, according to contemporaneous estimates ) codes. Moreover, Wade\u27s position as one of the leading lawyers in the state, and possibly the leading lawyer, enabled him to speak with authority. Who better than the author of almost a third of the territorial court\u27s opinions to speak to the coherence and utility of the statute law? Who better than a code commissioner to assure the public that the codes would not be a radical change? No other advocate of codification could speak with such authority on the subject.
As later events would show, Wade was over-optimistic about the benefits of codification, but his optimism was catching. Less than a year after his address the Fourth Legislature adopted the four codes in a whirlwind of activity. Perhaps the only excuse for that body\u27s failure to consider the substance of the codes was their reliance on Wade\u27s participation in drafting and selling the codes. When Wade told Montanans in this speech that codification, as I understand it, was never intended to change the law, members of the legislature might be forgiven for believing him and neglecting to read the codes carefully themselves. Wade\u27s address is thus worth reading today as the primary source that enables us to understand why Montana chose codification in 1895

Nina S. de Friedemann: autodidacta de alta peligrosidad política
No full textIn 1997, the English anthropologist Peter Wade delivered a stern verdict: Nina S. de Friedemann's work was part of a larger body of work. work of Nina S. de Friedemann was part of a larger body of work characterised by low scientific rigour and high political characterised by low scientific rigour and high political danger. Wade 1997: 19). The anthropologist we are paying tribute to today earned both of these labels both labels because of the risky comparisons she posed in terms of the Africa-America bridge. the Africa-America bridge, and for her study of the origin and evolution of Afro-Colombian cultures in and evolution of Afro-Colombian cultures in the light of a notion of which she was the author: that of the traces of Africanness.En 1997, el antropólogo inglés Peter Wade emitió un veredicto severo: la obra de Nina S. de Friedemann hacía parte de un conjunto mayor de trabajos caracterizados por un bajo rigor científico y una alta peligrosidad política Wade 1997: 19). La antropóloga que hoy homenajeamos se hizo acreedora de ambos calificativos por lo arriesgado de las comparaciones que planteó en cuanto al puente África-América, y por estudiar el origen y evolución de las culturas afrocolombianas a la luz de una noción de su autoría: la de las huellas de africanía
Anchoring effects in the development of false childhood memories
Get PDFWhen people receive descriptions or doctored photos of events that never happened, they often come to remember those events. But if people receive both a description and a doctored photo, does the order in which they receive the information matter? We asked people to consider a description and a doctored photograph of a childhood hot air balloon ride, and we varied which medium they saw first. People who saw a description first reported more false images and memories than people who saw a photo first, a result that fits with an anchoring account of false childhood memories
The Liturgical Book of the Oktoechos. Function, Forms, and Manuscript Tradition
No full textThis chapter offers a detailed investigation into the liturgical book known as the Oktoechos within the Byzantine tradition, focusing on its function, structure, and manuscript history. The Author clarifies the multiple meanings of the term "oktoechos" in Byzantine sources, distinguishing between the musical eight-mode system, the weekly liturgical cycle, and the book itself. The study explores the evolution of the Oktoechos from its early roots in the Jerusalem liturgical tradition, particularly through Georgian and Greek sources such as the Old and New Tropologion. The work highlights the interplay between the Oktoechos and other liturgical books like the Menaion, Triodion, and Pentekostarion, and traces the contribution of major hymnographers including John of Damascus and Andrew of Crete. Special attention is given to terminological ambiguities, manuscript variants, and regional adaptations. Overall, the chapter presents a nuanced reconstruction of the development and standardization of this central Byzantine liturgical book
“Wade in the water”: Jim Crow scenes from Maysville, Kentucky
Get PDFThis research explores Jim Crow scholarship in real estate, entertainment, policing, and recreation. The thesis of this research is that outside forces came to bear on Jim Crow laws and customs. This research will show that without that outside pressure, a more equal society may not have evolved organically. In addition, this research highlights scenes from the small town of Maysville, Kentucky to more fully illustrate the power and tenacity of Jim Crow. This research is not meant to belittle the efforts of thousands of brave Americans, of all colors, who risked and sometimes lost their lives in the face of racial bigotry and oppression. It is rather to suggest that without the full power of the federal government behind them, their heroic struggle might not have happened and most certainly would have been more burdensome.
The methodology employed in this project was to locate primary and secondary sources related to the topic and apply those sources to the central argument of the thesis. These sources were used to gain an understanding of Jim Crow as a social and political phenomenon and demonstrate that Jim Crow was so engrained into the fabric of American life that it took a national effort spearheaded by all three branches of the federal government to wrench it away from the American experience.

False claims about false memory research
Get PDFPezdek and Lam [Pezdek, K. & Lam, S. (2007). What research paradigms have cognitive psychologists used to study “False memory,” and what are the implications of these choices? Consciousness and Cognition] claim that the majority of research into false memories has been misguided. Specifically, they charge that false memory scientists have been (1) misusing the term “false memory,” (2) relying on the wrong methodologies to study false memories, and (3) misapplying false memory research to real world situations. We review each of these claims and highlight the problems with them. We conclude that several types of false memory research have advanced our knowledge of autobiographical and recovered memories, and that future research will continue to make significant contributions to how we understand memory and memory errors
