The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
No full textAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals

Laboratory culture of the free-living stages of Neomesomermis flumenalis, a mermithid nematode parasite of Newfoundland blackflies (Diptera: Simuliidae)
No full textLaboratory methods were developed for culturing the free-living stages of Neomesomermis flumenalis, a mermithid parasite of simuliids, especially Simulium venustum Say and the complex of Prosimulium mixtum Syme & Davies and P. fuscum Syme & Davies, from simuliid larvae collected in the field in Newfoundland. The best results were obtained by placing 50 pairs of nematodes under xenic conditions in 500-ml containers containing about 450 ml wet sand. With this method, 78.6% of the females introduced to culture reproduced. The influence of factors such as microorganisms, substrate, container volume and sterility on culturing the mermithid is discussed. Differences were noted in the development of N. flumenalis from winter-breeding Prosimulium hosts and those from summer-breeding Simulium. Parasites from Simulium developed nearly twice as fast as those from Prosimulium at 10 deg C. Studies showed that Simulium parasites were better adapted for higher temperatures (20 deg C) but were more poorly adapted to lower ones (5 deg C) than parasites from Prosimulium. The differences noted suggest that there are two physiological strains of the same species, one developing in Simulium spp. and the other in Prosimulium spp..RE: 13 ref.; MS: 2 fig.; SC: ZA; HE; CA; PE; PA; VE; 0J; 0H; 0TSource type: Electronic(1
From Pariah To Patriot: The Posthumous Career Of George William Gordon
No full textExamines the development of the reputation of George William Gordon in Jamaican collective remembering, in relation to changing social, political, and cultural contexts. Author describes Gordon's mixed-raced/brown background and later parliamentary activities in support of poor black labourers, and how he was sentenced to death by governor Eyre for supposedly inciting the 1865 Morant Bay Rebellion led by Paul Bogle. He relates how Gordon was in British historiography depicted as a traitor, while soon after 1865 Gordon was also defended as martyr and hero, and as unjustly sentenced. He shows how up to the early 20th c. the establishment perspective of Gordon as traitor and agitator persisted, but that competing discourses also developed. These came more to the fore since the introduction of universal adult suffrage in 1944, when Gordon first was publicly recognized as a patriot, and he was increasingly seen as national hero after independence. In addition, Gordon was presented, e.g. by the JLP, as a symbol of brown-black cooperation across race and class. Author notes, however, how this was also contested, and that a reputational decline of Gordon set in since the 1980s, increasing after 1992, due to sharpened brown-black divides, related to economic decline among Jamaica's black majority and black nationalism
William Bill Hooks, Interviewed by Edith Gordon
No full textWilliam Hooks, a publisher and author of children\u27s books, is interviewed here in 1975 by Edith Lisolette Gordon who was conducting oral histories that would inform her doctoral dissertation on the history of progressive education at Bank Street. Hooks, who grew up in North Carolina, joined the Bank Street Research Division in 1958, simultaneously staging opera workshops at Brooklyn College and doing freelance dancing and writing. He discusses moving to the Bank Street Publications Division in the early 1960s and working on the Early Childhood Discovery Materials with Irma Black, the process of publishing an ethnically integrated series and creating audiovisual materials for children, and more.

Life and loves of a landscape artist: biography of Gordon Crossley
No full textAt the time of publishing this book Gordon Crossley is 86 years young and still painting the great outdoors; especially wonderful skies from his studio and incredible trees at his beloved Hatfield Forest.
Gordon studied at Wimbledon College of Art; exhibited 16 times at the Royal Academy; was employed as an artist in the RAF; worked as Group Art Director in the advertising industry and taught art and graphics at Barking College in Essex.
Two of his paintings are exhibited at the Chelmsford & Essex Museum; and this book contains over 60 examples of his works spanning some 60 plus years. Gordon has four children and eight grandchildren; but sadly his wife Jo and very recently his son Matthew both died prematurely; and this book is dedicated to their memory.
Gordon met the author of this biography at High Roding Tea Rooms and they have formed a dear friendship ever since.
The book is written as a testimony to how one artist has spent his life revealing God’s creation in his work; and his love for his family and friends, church and community.
All proceeds from the book will go to help a disadvantaged youngster, with promise, to attend art college; to ‘learn how to draw properly’ Gordon would say
