The terms of reference for the Travis Review are to:
1. Perform a statewide census of hospital capacity including bed, theatre and emergency department capacity and other services that may be substitutes for traditional inpatient care.
2. Consider issues, opportunities and challenges to measuring existing capacity, drawing on local, national and international policy perspectives.
3. Develop recommendations on how to optimise Victoria’s health system capacity in the short term (specifically through allocating additional recurrent funding and minor capital expenditure as required) that can be actioned in the 2015–16 State Budget.
4. Consider the current progress in implementing process redesign methodologies across the Victorian public hospital system and make recommendations on how this can be strengthened to optimise the capacity of hospitals to treat the Victorian community into the future.
5. Call for public submissions from stakeholders for redesign projects or other innovative models of care that increase hospital capacity and make recommendations on their suitability to optimise the capacity of hospitals to treat the Victorian community into the future.
6. Provide an interim report on the census results by end of March 2015 and a final report by the end of June 2015 to the Minister for Health.
The interim report
This report completes the first three of the above terms of reference, with the remaining items to be completed in the final report due at the end of June 2015. The report contains a number of recommendations for consideration by the Minister for Health
Octavofest Guest Speaker Travis McDade
No full textThis Program is in partnership with Octavofest: Celebrating the Book and Paper Arts.
Program: Professor McDade will begin this program with a general discussion of his research, books, and his latest project, with a primary focus on how thefts of valuable rare books have been handled by the law. This discussion will utilize the 2007, 6th Circuit case of the United States vs. Charles Thomas Allen, II, et al. , utilizing the prosecution of Allen and his colleagues for the theft of valuable rare books from the special collections library at Transylvania University (Lexington, KY) as an example of how the law handles the theft of cultural heritage objects. Law, library and information science, anthropology, museum studies, and art students will find this program of interest, as well as professionals in these fields, and other individuals who value the preservation of our cultural heritage.
Travis McDade is the Curator of Law Rare Books and Associate Professor of Library Service and the University of Illinois College of Law. Professor McDade, a lawyer and a librarian, is the country’s foremost expert on crimes against rare books, maps, documents, and other printed cultural heritage resources. He is the author of three books on the subject: The Book Thief: The True Crimes of Daniel Spiegelman; Thieves of Book Row: New York’s Most Notorious Rare Book Ring and the Man Who Ended it; and Disappearing Ink: The Insider, the FBI, and the Looting of the Kenyon College Library.
Refreshments will be served.

Kolme Travis picking -sovitusta kitaralle
No full textOpinnäytetyöni aiheena oli Travis picking -tyylisten kitarasovitusten tekeminen. Työni tarkoituksena oli esitellä kolme itse tehtyä Travis picking -sovitusta sekä tuoda esille, miten tyylinmukaisia sovituksia tehdään ja mitä haasteita sovittamisessa voi olla. Työtä varten valmistin ja äänitin sekä nuotinsin kolmesta eri kappaleesta kitarasovitukset Travis picking -tyyliin. Sovitettaviksi valitsin erilaisia musiikin tyylilajeja edustavat kappaleet, jotta käsiteltävän sovitustyylin monipuolisuus tulisi parhaiten esille.
Opinnäytetyössäni käsitellään Travis pickingia yhtenä työkaluna kitarasovitusten tekemiseen, joten tässä yhteydessä ei käsitellä sovitustyylin käyttöä esimerkiksi säestystarkoituksessa. Työssäni ei juurikaan käsitellä muita kitaransoitossa käytettäviä tekniikoita, joita usein käytetään yhdessä Travis picking -tekniikan kanssa.
Opinnäytetyössäni kerrotaan lyhyesti, mitä Travis picking on, sekä esitellään tyylin historia pähkinänkuoressa. Etsin lähdemateriaalia tietoperustaan muun muassa Internetistä, alaan liittyvästä kirjallisuudesta ja lehdistä sekä tyylilajia edustavilta keskeisiltä äänitteiltä.
Yksi Travis picking -tekniikan ominaispiirteistä on oikean käden peukalolla tuotettava vaihtobassorytmi. Travis picking -sovittamisen ensimmäinen työvaihe on kappaleen melodian ja sointujen opettelu. Tämän jälkeen valitaan sävellaji. Sävellajin lisäksi myös sormitusten ja asemien miettiminen on tärkeää sujuvan soitettavuuden kannalta. Sovitusprosessin loppupuolella lisätään melodian muuntelua, harmonian muuntelua esimerkiksi sointukadenssien ja korvaavien sointujen avulla, sävellajin vaihdoksia sekä erilaisia bassolinjoja.As my final project, I arranged pieces in the Travis picking style for guitar. I notated and recorded three arrangements for this project. I made a conscious effort to choose the pieces from various musical styles and genres to make Travis picking known as a versatile method for arranging music for guitar.
This study focuses on using Travis picking as a tool for making solo guitar arrangements. I did not examine the use of this style as a form of accompaniment. This study focuses mainly on Travis picking and only briefly mentions other guitar techniques commonly used together with this style.
This study includes a short introduction to the history of Travis picking and its most significant developers and modern day innovators. I gathered the historical facts about the style from the Internet, from various music books and guitar magazines and from essential recordings that showcase this technique, the most significant ones being by Merle Travis and Chet Atkins.
One of the key elements in Travis picking is an alternating bass line played with the right hand thumb. The process of arranging a piece of music begins with learning its melody and chords. The next step is selecting the right key. It is also important to find good fingerings and fretboard positions in order to make the arrangement sound good and easy to play. Towards the end of the arrangement process, the arrangement can be made more interesting by adding melodic or rhythmic variation, modulations and different bass lines
