    ‘Paula Rego: Printmaker’ is an extended essay commissioned from the author by Marlborough Fine Art and Talbot Rice Museum, Edinburgh, for the illustrated catalogue to accompany the touring exhibition of Rego’s graphic work. My essay reveals Rego’s working method, and places her prints within the overall context of her practice. The essay contains much original research evidenced over a 20-year period of collaboration with the artist, including first hand observation and hitherto unpublished stage proofs revealing the progression and development of images from first stage to final print

    Full text link
    El periódico rioplatense Doña María Retazos (1821-1823) fue creado, escrito, impreso y distribuido por el sacerdote franciscano Francisco de Paula Castañeda (1776-1832), escritor y actor político fundamental de la década revolucionaria y de la tumultuosa y compleja década del 20. Un elemento constitutivo del texto es su altísimo carácter intertextual a través del cual aparece una figura de autor que se expone como scriptor de antiguallas teológicas, lecturas propias del barroco ibérico y de la ilustración francesa y española, entre otras, operación devenida, paradójicamente, en empresa moderna.Doña María Retazos, a newspaper from Río de la Plata (1821-1823), was created, written, printed and distributed by the franciscan priest Francisco de Paula Castañeda (1776-1832) a key political actor and writer of the revolutionary decade and of the tumultuous and complex ‘20s. One of the most important elements of the text is its high intertextual character through which Castañeda is exposed as amanuensis of theological antiques, readings of the Iberian Baroque and Spanish and French Illustration, among others; in this way, the amanuensis becomes author and his newspaper in to a modern enterprise

    No full text
    Paula Marshall is the CEO of the Bama Companies, Inc., a company that may be best known for being the single supplier of the famous Apple dessert pies to McDonalds. They are also ...an innovator and manufacturer of bakery products to some of the most well-known restaurant chains on the planet. In this episode Paula discusses with Tripp her amazing journey as a CEO that took her company from being on the verge of going out of business to the thriving powerhouse it is today. The transformation of Paula and her company started when she attended her first Deming seminar. That seminar and the subsequent meetings and friendship with Dr. Deming, shaped the future of the company in a way she never imagined. Paula shares her journey with Dr. Deming and how personally difficult it was to go against the very status quo management ideas she had learned and was using; in particular, learning the hard way how detrimental performance appraisals and the incentive based system are to an organization. See http://www.bama.com for more information on Paula and the company. Paula is also an author of several books, including her personal story in Sweet as Pie, Tough as Nails.https://digitalcommons.butler.edu/deming_podcast/1007/thumbnail.jp

    Debates over Palaeolithic chronology - the reliability of C-14 is confirmed

    No full text
    The debate about the complex issues of human development during the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition period (45-35 ka BP) has been hampered by concerns about the reliability of the radiocarbon dating method. Large C-14 anomalies were postulated and radiocarbon dating was considered flawed. We show here that these issues are no longer relevant, because the large anomalies are artefacts beyond plausible physical limits for their magnitude. Previous inconsistencies between C-14 radiocarbon datasets have been resolved, and a new radiocarbon calibration curve, IntCal09 (Reimer et al., 2009), was created. Improved procedures for bone collagen extraction and charcoal pre-treatment generally result in older ages, consistent with independently dated time markers. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

The author can also export their download and citation data in CSV format for further analysis or to create visualisations for a subset of their works. QUT ePrints provides a range of other usage and attention metrics which can help the author craft a narrative about their research impact. \ud \ud Providing the type of usage data authors want encourages them to engage with the repository and provide full-text versions which can be made accessible

    Habsburg Heritage in the Work of Paula von Preradović, the Author of the Austrian Anthem

    Full text link
    In the study of the literature of the Republic of Austria and its imperial legacy the special significance is due to the work of Paula von Preradović (1887 – 1951). It is paradoxical that the author of the anthem of the Second Republic is considered to be nostalgic for the Habsburg Monarchy and its provinces. The article argues that the postimperial legacy in the work of Paula von Preradović is not infused with negative connotations; however, a more thorough analysis shows that the interpretation arguing for a strong nostalgia for the Habsburg Empire is only provisionally tenable: in her first novel Pave und Pero (Pave and Pero) the central themes are the death of children, social differences, a sorry state of the contemporary wage workers and the philistine society. Nor is any retrospective utopia inscribed in her – primarily biographically based – lyrical inclination towards the coastal parts of the Danube Monarchy. In addition, the contribution also shows how the texts and their author stood in relation to the fascist regimes between the two Austrian republics which is a relevant question for the author of the most significant text symbolizing the state. The reception, which is extremely influenced by the perspective of one’s family, is therefore also corrected
