Diary of C. J. Sanders
No full textDiary - This document is the personal diary of Constance Jukes Sanders, daughter of Gilbert E. Sanders, Superintendent of the Northwest Mounted Police 1905-1908. The diary begins on August 27, 1910, and ends April 6, 1911. Diary entries include daily activities of C. J. Sanders during her nineteenth and twentieth years, while living in Athabasca Landing with her parents. C. J. spent her days doing housework at the family's home, and often taught Sunday School at the local church. A favourite pastime was having friends over to play bridge in the evening, or riding ponies during the daytime. Church was a big part of the family's week. The women also spent a lot of time cooking, cleaning and sewing. C. J. took a boat over to Europe with her mother and father just before Christmas in 1910. She was very seasick during the trip. While in Europe they visited family and friends in England, Ireland and France (45 pages

Chambliss returns as Sanders Scholar
No full textGeorgia Law students will once again learn from former U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss and Georgia Department of Community Affairs Commissioner Camila Knowles (who previously served as Chambliss’ chief of staff). The pair will co-teach the class Political Leadership and the Law, where students will receive firsthand insights into public service and explore the topics of ethics, campaign finance and negotiation.
Last year, when Chambliss and Knowles taught the course, several prominent guest speakers visited the class. They included: U.S. Deputy Attorney General Sally Quillian Yates (J.D.’86), former U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, Gov. Nathan Deal, Georgia Speaker of the House David Ralston (J.D.’80), Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and leading public affairs professional Arthur B. “Skin” Edge IV (J.D.’80).
This year’s class will be taught as part of the law school’s Atlanta Semester in Practice initiative and will be based at the law school’s facility in the state’s capital.
The former senator said he is honored to be serving as the law school’s Sanders Political Leadership Scholar. “I look forward to sharing my experience of 20 years in public service with tomorrow’s leaders,” he said. “The University of Georgia School of Law is one of the top law schools in America, and to have the opportunity to be a part of the faculty is very humbling.”
Established in 2002, the Sanders Political Leadership Scholar position is named for Georgia’s 74th governor and 1948 Georgia Law alumnus Carl E. Sanders. Previous Sanders Political Leadership Scholars include: former U.S. Sen. J. Maxwell “Max” Cleland, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich, former U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Poland Lee A. Feinstein and former U.S. Department of Commerce Deputy Secretary Theodore W. “Ted” Kassinger (J.D.’78)

Sodium limitation: the impact of sodium chloride on functional traits in a terrestrial ecosystem
No full text3:00 PM9:00am-11:00amUndergraduateSodium availability is a limiting factor to many organisms’ diets, particularly herbivores. However, it is vital to biological processes such as neural development and osmotic regulation, and is thought to drive the evolution of specific foraging behavior in search of this resource. Here, we tested whether sodium limitation effects insect community structure. To do this, we manipulated sodium (Na) availability as well as nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) at plots in Williston, Vermont during the summer of 2018. We sampled insect abundance and community composition using standard techniques (e.g., sweep net and bug vac). We also investigated whether insect herbivory varied among treatments. We found strong effects of NP addition, but not Na addition, on insect biomass and abundance. In particular, there were 64% more insects in NP treatment plots, than in control plots. There was no significant change in total insect herbivory among treatments. Our results indicate that sodium limitation does not directly create a response in insect community structure.University of Vermon
Theorising and practitioners in HRD: the role of abductive reasoning
No full textPurpose – The purpose of this paper is to argue that abductive reasoning is a typical but usually unrecognised process used by HRD scholars and practitioners alike. Design/methodology/approach – This is a conceptual paper that explores recent criticism of traditional views of theory-building, based on the privileging of scientific theorising, which has led to a relevance gap between scholars and practitioners. The work of Charles Sanders Peirce and the varieties of an abductive reasoning process are considered. Findings – Abductive reasoning, which precedes induction and deduction, provide a potential connection with HRD practitioners who face difficult problems. Two types of abductive reasoning are explored – existential and analogic. Both offer possibilities for theorising with HRD practitioners. A range of methods for allowing abduction to become more evident with practitioners are presented. The authors consider how abduction can be used in engaged and participative research strategies. Research limitations/implications – While this is a conceptual paper, it does suggest implications for engagement and participation in theorising with HRD practitioners. Practical implications – Abductive reasoning adds to the repertoire of HRD scholars and practitioners. Originality/value – The paper elucidates the value of abductive reasoning and points to how it can become an integral element of theory building in HRD

Former Sen. Saxby Chambliss returns to teach as Georgia Law’s Sanders Scholar

Athens, Ga. – The University of Georgia School of Law will again offer its students the opportunity to learn from former U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who is returning to the law school as its Sanders Political Leadership Scholar.
Chambliss and Georgia Department of Community Affairs Commissioner Camila Knowles (who previously served as Chambliss’ chief of staff) will co-teach the class Political Leadership and the Law, where students will receive firsthand insights into public service and explore the topics of ethics, campaign finance and negotiation. The class will be taught as part of Georgia Law’s Atlanta Semester in Practice initiative and will be based at the law school’s facility in the state’s capital.
Georgia Law Dean Peter B. “Bo” Rutledge said that having proven leaders from the public sector teaching students offers them the chance to learn the true meaning of service. “I am delighted that Sen. Chambliss and Commissioner Knowles will return and teach our students in Atlanta,” he said. “Through this class, Sen. Chambliss and Commissioner Knowles will share with our students real-world examples of how the law and government intersect. This is what the late Gov. Carl E. Sanders envisioned when this faculty position was created.”
Last year, when Chambliss and Knowles taught the course, several prominent guest speakers visited the class. They included: U.S. Deputy Attorney General Sally Quillian Yates, former U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, Gov. Nathan Deal, Georgia Speaker of the House David Ralston, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and leading public affairs professional Arthur B. “Skin” Edge IV.
