Chapin Family
No full textNotes - This is a history of the Chapin-Anderson family written by Ordie Chapin-Anderson. The Chapin family moved from The USA to a homestead eight miles from Colinton, Alberta in 1910. Frederick Lewis Chapin and Ethel May Chapin arrived with their twin daughters Addie and Ida. Edith, Ethel, John and Ordie were all born at the homestead. Frederick operated a mixed farm with many animals such as chickens, horses, pigs and cows; as well as farming wheat, oats, barley and hay. After a few years, a store was opened by the Chapin family where groceries, tobacco, and candy were sold. The store also housed a post office and creamery. A new store was later opened on another property and the old store was converted into a house. Ordie recalls early memories of attending school, school dances, picking berries and starting up an orchestra. Ordie married Doug Anderson in 1936. Doug became a barber in Athabasca. Much of the Chapin family moved to British Columbia during the late 1930s, and so did Ordie, Doug and family (3 pages

Embedded Philanthropy and the Pursuit of Civic Engagement
No full text· This article examines a range of civic engagement strategies pursued by embedded funders conducting community-change work in chronically disadvantaged communities.
· Embedded funders are place-based foundations that (1) commit to working in a particular community or communities over an extended period of time; (2) pursue direct and ongoing relationships with a range of community actors; (3) make community relationships and partnerships a primary vehicle of their philanthropic operation; and (4) provide extensive supports and resources beyond conventional grantmaking.
· Working as an embedded funder tends either to correlate with a prior commitment to civic engagement or to promote the development of such a commitment. Many of the strengths that embedded funders show in their civic engagement efforts derive from the defining characteristics and shared features of embedded philanthropy.
· The article focuses on four embedded funders: the Humboldt Area Foundation in northwest California, the Jacobs Family Foundation in San Diego, and the Denver Foundation and Piton Foundation, both in Denver. These foundations have all prioritized the promotion of civic engagement, they have done so in distinct ways, and they represent a range of foundation types and styles of embedded philanthropy.
· These foundations have pursued four general types of civic engagement strategy: direct support for individual and group civic engagement activities at the grassroots level, creating spaces and processes for such activities that did not previously exist, creating or supporting an organizational infrastructure for expanded mobilization and citizen engagement, and leveraging their own relationships and influence.
· Successful civic engagement efforts are predicated on knowing a community and being known by it, and on the ability to earn trust through a variety of means. They are also enhanced by the creative use of organizational structure and staffing. An embedded operating style supports and facilitates each of these key elements in the promotion of civic engagement

Sublime experience and ironic action: E. T. A. Hoffmann and the use of music for life
No full textMusical understanding has evolved dramatically in recent years, principally through a heightened appreciation of musical meaning in its social, cultural, and philosophical dimensions. This collection of essays by leading scholars addresses an aspect of meaning that has not yet received its due: the relation of meaning in this broad humanistic sense to the shaping of fundamental values. The volume examines the open and active circle between the values and valuations placed on music by both individuals and societies, and the discovery, through music, of what and how to value.
With a combination of cultural criticism and close readings of musical works, the contributors demonstrate repeatedly that to make music is also to make value, in every sense. They give particular attention to values that have historically enabled music to assume a formative role in human societies: to foster practices of contemplation, fantasy, and irony; to explore sexuality, subjectivity, and the uncanny; and to articulate longings for unity with nature and for moral certainty. Each essay in the collection shows, in its own way, how music may provoke transformative reflection in its listeners and thus help guide humanity to its own essential embodiment in the world.
The range of topics is broad and developed with an eye both to the historical specificity of values and to the variety of their possible incarnations. The music is both canonical and noncanonical, old and new. Although all of it is ďclassical,Ē the contributorsí treatment of it yields conclusions that apply well beyond the classical sphere. The composers discussed include Gabrieli, Marenzio, Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Wagner, Puccini, Hindemith, Schreker, and Henze

D i a g n o s i s: The members of this genus have the base of the elytral disc adorned with a shallow umbo, which is covered by a tuft of black setae. The combination of these characteristics will distinguish these beetles from any others in the Tarsostenodes complex. A p o t y p i e s: Elytral umbo vested with black setae, phallic apex very long. D e s c r i p t i o n: This genus was illustrated by KOLIBÁČ (2003), and redescribed and illustrated by OPITZ (2012). D i s t r i b u t i o n: This genus is known only from Australia.

Xanthomelas bakeri Chapin
No full textXanthomelas bakeri Chapin Xanthomelas bakeri Chapin, 1929: 1 (Madang, Territory of New Guinea). Now Sericulus bakeri (Chapin, 1929). See Mayr, 1941: 184; Mayr and Jennings, 1952: 7–8; Gilliard and LeCroy, 1967: 74–75; Gilliard, 1969: 330– 335, pl. 13; Coates, 1990: 402–403; and Frith and Frith, 2004: 343–344; 2009a: 399–400. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 268253, adult male, collected at ‘‘ Madang, Territory of New Guinea,’’ now known to be from the Adelbert Mountains, 04.54S, 145.24E (Frith and Beehler, 1998: 566), Madang Province, Papua New Guinea, on 29 August 1928, by Rollo H. Beck (no. 84). COMMENTS: In the original description, Chapin cited the AMNH number of the holotype and listed the two additional specimens that Beck collected. The two paratypes, both labeled as from ‘‘Madang’’ are: AMNH 268254 (Beck’s no. 134), immature male, 3 September 1928; AMNH 268255 (184), male, 10 September 1928. This last specimen had been exchanged to the Rothschild Collection, and when that collection came to AMNH, it was inadvertently renumbered as AMNH 679305. After Rollo Beck left the American Museum’s Whitney South Sea Expedition, Museum Trustee George F. Baker, Jr., supported him on a collecting trip into what was at that time the Mandated Territory of New Guinea. He collected in the vicinity of Madang and on the Huon Peninsula, and his most important discovery was this new species of bowerbird. However, the exact collecting locality was not known, and additional specimens were not found until 1959, when E. Thomas Gilliard and his wife, Margaret, made a collection in the Memenga Forest, Adelbert Mountains, to the northwest of Madang (See Gilliard and LeCroy, 1967: 74– 75, and Gilliard, 1969: 330–335). The bower was first reported by Mackay (1989: 62–64) and Coates (1990: 403). See cover for painting of this species by William T. Cooper.Published as part of Lecroy, Mary, 2014, Type Specimens Of Birds In The American Museum Of Natural History Part 12.
