The Prototypes of Some Characters in Certain Novels of George Meredith
No full textIt has been the aim of the author in the course of this treatise on some of the characters in the novels of George Meredith to bring out more clearly the relationship between some of those characters and the friends and contemporaries of the author\u27s. The method used was an analysis of the novels written by the author and a study of the comments and criticism which fellow writers and modern commentaries have added. Besides this, it was necessary to trace the history of the author, that is; his life, and his friendships. In the manner the task has fallen to the writer to gather the facts relating to the subject in this treatise
To be, or not to be, that is the question : stuttering into academia
No full textIn this chapter Grant Meredith, the discipline leader of Information Technology for the Global Professional School at Federation University (Australia) outlines his journey as a person who stutters from his rural Australian upbringing through to being an Information Technology academic. This passage to academia is a reflection on an unconventional odyssey that has meandered from blue collar careers to a university education and beyond. The author discusses what it means to him to have vocal difference and how it may have influenced his research path. Along the way he questions his identity as a person who stutters and find his own “community” to engage within
Edith Wharton and Cosmopolitanism
No full textEmily Orlando is co-editor and a contributing author (with Meredith L. Goldsmith), Introduction: Edith Wharton, A Citizen of the World, p.1-15.
Edith Wharton and Cosmopolitanism shows that Wharton was highly engaged with global issues of her time, due in part to her extensive travel abroad. Examining both her canonical and lesser-known works and including her art historical discoveries, her political writings, and her travel writing, the essays in this volume explore Wharton\u27s diverse, complex, and sometimes problematic relationship to a cosmopolitan vision.-- Publisher\u27s description.https://digitalcommons.fairfield.edu/english-books/1067/thumbnail.jp
Agent-based Semantic Web Services
No full textThe Web Services world consists of loosely-coupled distributed systems which adapt to changes by the use of service descriptions that enable ad-hoc, opportunistic service discovery and reuse. At present, these service descriptions are semantically impoverished, being concerned with describing the functional signature of the services rather than characterising their meaning. In the Semantic Web community, the DAML Services effort attempts to rectify this by providing a more expressive way of describing Web services using ontologies. However, this approach does not separate the domain-neutral communicative intent of a message (considered in terms of speech acts) from its domain-specific content, unlike similar developments from the multi-agent systems community. We describe our experiences of designing and building an ontologically motivated Web Services system for situational awareness and information triage in a simulated humanitarian aid scenario. In particular, we discuss the merits of using techniques from the multi-agent systems community for separating the intentional force of messages from their content, and the implementation of these techniques within the DAML Services model
An evening with Louisa: honouring the life and achievements of Louisa Anne Meredith
No full textWhen Louisa Anne Meredith first arrived in colonial Australia she was already an accomplished author and during the remainder of her life here her talents as a gifted painter and illustrator would receive equally high acclaim. At the heart of her work was her love of nature and through her prolific writings and social commentary, she constantly advocated for the protection of animals and their environments, making her one of Australia’s foremost colonial conservationists. Louisa’s legacy remains vibrant through her art and writings as a gift to the nation. She stands as a beacon for women of her time and those after.As a generous benefactor and contributor to the Royal Society of Tasmania, Louisa Anne Meredith was awarded Honorary Membership in 1881. In 2023, in recognition of her outstanding achievements, the Society established the Louisa Anne Meredith Medal to be awarded to similarly worthy recipients. The medal was announced at Government House in a gala celebratory event An Evening with Louisa, which included a fitting tribute in the form of a masque performance. The event also raised funds for the conservation and restoration of the Society’s extensive Art Collection which includes over 250 of her watercolours and sketches.</p
The development of an assessment tool to gather evidence and evaluate the progress of performance skills of students in the Edgerton High School Band
No full textProject chair, Dr. Glenn C. Hayes.Because of the block schedule and the lack of certain basic music skills among the incoming band students at Edgerton High School, it is necessary to create a system to help students establish their basic performance skills. The purpose of this project is to design a set of assessment tools that will help students define and perform basic musical skills. A series of quarterly study sheets allows the student to study scales, rhythms, tone, and expression in a progressive manner through all grade levels. The student is required to master each form and the skill level demonstrated serves as a portion of his or her final grade. It is also necessary to have a way to assess the students’ skills. This project uses literature and methods from a variety of sources to develop a set of tools that will accomplish both of these objectives.
This project focuses on the four areas of skills basic to musical performance on a musical instrument including scales and arpeggios, rhythm, tone, and expression. The study of scales, arpeggios, and rhythm has been systematically designed to increase the technical skill of students on their instruments. Students will have studied the major, minor, and chromatic scales and arpeggios in a systematic method over a four-year course of study. Each term for four years (16 terms), the student will have studied one major scale, the relative minor scale, arpeggios, and the chromatic scale. In addition, the student will have studied a specific rhythm pattern each term. The chromatic scale study has been coordinated to the rhythm study for each term to help reinforce the rhythm pattern. The rhythm patterns began with the easiest whole rhythms (whole, half, and quarter notes) and get progressively more difficult with each term.
In addressing tone quality, the teacher will have assigned a phrase of music from the literature studied by the band. The student will have performed the phrase with the best tone quality he/she can produce. A rubric has been developed to assess the student’s level of tone production quality and to help the student begin to identify the qualities of an excellent tone.
Musical expression has been addressed in two manners. The first has been through a demonstration of expression during the same performance of the tone quality assignment. Students have been assessed on a rubric similar to the one designed for tone quality. In addition, the student has been presented with a blank phrase of music. The student then adds expression markings that they feel are appropriate and performs the excerpt. Again, a rubric has been designed to assess the work of the student
