Wreath for Oodgeroo
No full textResearch Background:
McGregor’s possum skin cloak 'Wreath for Oodgeroo' (2020), depicts native plants found on Minjerriba (Stradbroke Island, Queensland) to honour the leadership and insight of black-rights activist, poet, artist, environmentalist and educator Oodgeroo Noonuccal (Kath Walker) (1920–93)’s 1970’s protest march from the Sydney Aboriginal Mission La Perouse (Guriwal) to the ocean where wreathes were thrown into the water. Marking the 1770 landing of Lieutenant Cook in Kamay (Botany Bay) and the beginning of dispossession. Since 1938 wreaths have been laid at La Perouse to mourn losses. In this way 'Wreath for Oodgeroo' honours Oodgeroo and her contribution to Australia.
Research Contribution:
McGregor’s art practice involves the revival of the traditional possum skin cloak as an art form and a way to strengthen individual and communal identities. For each new cloak the art on the skins is deeply considered and relevant to Indigenous communities. McGregor thanks and acknowledges Traditional Guardians from whose lands the cloak’s material comes, especially the Quandamooka peoples. Kieron Anderson (Quandamooka, Kullili, Wakka Wakka) for his sharing of knowledge and Raymond Walker (Nunka Wulew) for his guidance.
Research Significance:
Commissioned by Artspace, Sydney, NSW as part of the exhibition 'djillong dumularra', 2020 with artist Judy Watson. McGregor collaborated with members of the La Perouse Aboriginal Community to create a new collective possum skin cloak that will remain with the Community in perpetuity. 'Wreath for Oodgeroo' was also exhibited in Rite of Passage, QUT Art Museum, Brisbane, QLD, 2020; Art Gallery of Ballarat, Ballarat Heritage Festival, NSW, 2021 and UN/LEARNING AUSTRALIA, SeMA (Seoul Museum of Art), Korea 2021-2022.Full Tex
(028) McGregor Ranch
No full textExcerpt from page 15 of "B.C.'s Inland Empire" by Erskine Burnett associated with this image: Near Pinantan Lake we stopped at the McGregor ranch and were hospitably entertained. The McGregor's reached Kamloops during construction days, coming from Perthshire in Scotland, and settled in the Pinantan Valley over fifty years ago. Mrs. McGregor, her head still untouched by the snows of winter is as active and alert as any woman half her age. She had no use for the lip-sticked and rouged and cigarette-smoking beauties of the present day. Will the latter look as well when they too approach the 80 mile post?\rHer two stalwart sons are widely known for there Herefords which they show at fall fairs and fat stock exhibitions. We noticed some particularly fine moose-heads brought down from the Cariboo and mounted by a local taxidermist named Woods

From the McGregor Collection (no. 3048) via the Johathan Dwight Collection (no. 37699).</p> <p>COMMENTS: McGregor gave his collection number of the holotype in the original description, which had been miscopied as 3047 on his label and changed to 3048. This is apparently the correct number as it is also present on the small field tag. The specimen bears, in addition to the field tag, McGregor’s collection label marked ‘‘TYPE’’ in red, a Dwight Collection label, and an AMNH type label. McGregor noted that his specimens were in such worn plumage that wing and tail measurements could not be made, and he gave average bill and middle toe measurements for four males from Kodiak Island. Perhaps he meant that his comparative material was worn, as there are five male specimens in AMNH, all in fresh plumage and apparently from the McGregor Collection, but only the holotype bears a label to that effect. The other four have bracketing numbers on the field label and were collected over the winter of 1896–1897 (one of them on the same date as the holotype). They are: AMNH 366290 (Dwight no. 37696, McGregor no. 3049), AMNH 366291 (37694, 3052), AMNH 366292 (37695, 3051), AMNH 366293 (37698, 3047). I see no way to determine which, if any, of these specimens served as McGregor’s paratypes.</p> <p>A footnote at the bottom of page 8 noted that ‘‘an author’s edition of 100 copies was distributed Nov. 25, 1900.’’</p>Published as part of <i>LeCroy, Mary, 2013, Type Specimens Of Birds In The American Museum Of Natural History Part 11.

The indirect approach
Full text linkAid and conditionalities are the"carrots and sticks"of the conventional, direct approach to fostering economic development. The economic theory of agency is the most sophisticated treatment of the direct carrots-and-sticks approach to influencing human behavior. Considering the outcomes of the conventional approach, it might be worthwhile to explore alternative indirect approaches that focus on enabling clients to act more autonomously, rather than try for fuller control of clients'actions (or"agents"behaviors) with improved carrots and sticks. Are there inherent limitations in the direct approach that will not be addressed with better crafted"agency contracts"or closer monitoring of the agents? The author traces the intellectual history of indirect approaches from Socrates to modern thinkers, such as Wittgenstein, Gandhi, and McGregor. One theme of his survey is that constructivist and active-learning pedagogies constitute an indirect approach in which the teacher does not directly transmit knowledge to the learner, through training, and instruction. These pedagogies - translated into social and economic development as learning writ large - from the basis for an alternative indirect approach to fostering development. Actions have motives, just as beliefs have grounds, concludes the author. In the wide spectrum of human endeavor, there is only a fairly small"bandwidth"in which motives can be supplied by the carrots, and sticks of the direct approach (including agency theory, and market-driven activities as special cases of the direct approach to affecting behavior). Outside that spectrum, trying to use direct methods in a controlling manner, contradicts the motives for actions (and the grounds for beliefs) - like trying to"buy love."For higher activities, motives must come from within. Helpers can at best use an indirect approach to bring doers to the threshold; the doers have to do the rest, which makes the results their own.Public Health Promotion,Teaching and Learning,Curriculum&Instruction,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Educational Sciences,Educational Sciences,Teaching and Learning,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,General Technology,Curriculum&Instruction
Per-hop Internet Measurement Protocols
No full textAccurately measuring per-hop packet dynamics on an Internet path is difficult. Currently available techniques have many well-known limitations that can make it difficult to accurately measure per-hop packet dynamics. Much of the difficulty of per-hop measurement is due to the lack of protocol support available to measure an Internet path on a per-hop basis. This thesis classifies common weaknesses and describes a protocol for per-hop measurement of Internet packet dynamics, known as the IP Measurement Protocol, or IPMP. With IPMP, a specially formed probe packet collects information from intermediate routers on the packet's dynamics as the packet is forwarded. This information includes an IP address from the interface that received the packet, a timestamp that records when the packet was received, and a counter that records the arrival order of echo packets belonging to the same flow. Probing a path with IPMP allows the topology of the path to be directly determined, and for direct measurement of per-hop behaviours such as queueing delay, jitter, reordering, and loss. This is useful in many operational situations, as well as for researchers in characterising Internet behaviour.
IPMP's design goals of being tightly constrained and easy to implement are tested by building implementations in hardware and software. Implementations of IPMP presented in this thesis show that an IPMP measurement probe can be processed in hardware without delaying the packet, and processed in software with little overhead. This thesis presents IPMP-based measurement techniques for measuring per-hop packet delay, jitter, loss, reordering, and capacity that are more robust, require less probes to be sent, and are potentially more accurate and convenient than corresponding measurement techniques that do not use IPMP
