Alan Moore Comics as Performance, Fiction as Scalpel
No full textEclectic British author Alan Moore (b. 1953) is one of the most acclaimed and controversial comics writers to emerge since the late 1970s. He has produced a large number of well-regarded comic books and graphic novels while also making occasional forays into music, poetry, performance, and prose. In Alan Moore: Comics as Performance, Fiction as Scalpel , Annalisa Di Liddo argues that Moore employs the comics form to dissect the literary canon, the tradition of comics, contemporary society, and our understanding of history. The book considers Moore's narrative strategies and pinpoints the main thematic threads in his works: the subversion of genre and pulp fiction, the interrogation of superhero tropes, the manipulation of space and time, the uses of magic and mythology, the instability of gender and ethnic identity, and the accumulation of imagery to create satire that comments on politics and art history. Examining Moore's use of comics to scrutinize contemporary culture, Di Liddo analyzes his best-known works-- Swamp Thing, V for Vendetta, Watchmen, From Hell, Promethea , and Lost Girls . The study also highlights Moore?s lesser-known output, such as Halo Jones, Skizz , and Big Numbers , and his prose novel Voice of the Fire. Alan Moore: Comics as Performance, Fiction as Scalpel reveals Moore to be one of the most significant and distinctly postmodern comics creators of the last quarter-century.Intro -- Contents -- Preface and Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- CHAPTER 1.

On Continuous Images of Moore Spaces
No full textIn [4-8], the author has obtained several counterexamples to conjectures involving chain conditions, normality conditions, completeness, and the existence of point countable bases in Moore spaces. Each of these examples was obtained by constructing, by various means, a Moore space based on another space X0. In this paper, the author unifies these construction techniques and states some of the relationships between the original spaces and the derived Moore spaces.</jats:p
Concrete Thinking for Sculpture
No full textThis article proposes to explore the variegated plays of concrete as a travelling concept through four specific examples, viewed from the locality of the Yorkshire Sculpture Triangle in 2015. It will be argued that ‘concrete’ makes possible a triangulated reading practice in, of and for sculpture. The first example looks to the use of concrete, as a material, in some of the ‘technical’ experiments of Henry Moore, from the 1920s-1930s. The second example is the only public concrete sculpture by Barbara Hepworth on record, entitled Turning Forms. This is a kinetic work which was commissioned for the Festival of Britain in 1951. The psychic registrations of form-in-concrete will be explored through the aesthetic reception and understanding of these works. The third example examines the interplay between abstraction and concretion in a work of structural engineering: the Arqiva transmission tower on Emley Moor. This structure is a working utilitarian model of the telecommunications industry which took hold in the 1960s and 1970s. It is also a sculptural monument in a landscape of other design ‘types’. The fourth example considers the recent display of Lygia Clark’s Bichos at the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, in 2014-2015. Bicho Pássaro do Espaço (‘Creature Passing through Space’) (1960) reveals a particular translation between concrete thinking and concrete experience. These examples call upon the semantics of the concrete as a thought process and will track a journey into a region marked by three interconnected points: the concrete specificity in the material works selected, the broader field of concrete forms within which the sculptural may sit and the philosophical/aesthetic language of concrete for sculpture
On the existence of point countable bases in Moore spaces

These answers are obtained by a general construction technique developed by the author which associates to each first countable

Addressing the Challenge of Preparing Assistant Principals for the Principalship in Moore County
No full textThis problem of practice study attempted to address the challenge of preparing assistant principals for the principalship in Moore County. Across the nation and state, it is a challenge to fill vacant principalships with quality candidates. This problem is magnified in rural school districts. Moore County has had an over 34% principal turnover rate over the last two years. While this turnover on its own was not necessarily negative, it did indicate the strategic need for Moore County to build a pipeline of principal ready candidates. Utilizing a Plan, Do, Study, Act improvement science process, a school leadership academy that involved a small cohort of 9 assistant principals was designed and implemented to address this problem. The design included year-long face-to-face meetings; internal and external professional learning opportunities; standards-based leadership assessments; exposure to leadership experts; and a principal screening interview. The data and observations from this study indicate that this improvement strategy had a positive impact on the problem. Additional recommendations and implications are shared that are applicable to principal preparation programs and school district leadership development initiatives
Instantaneous ecosystem carbon dioxide fluxes at Mer Bleue Fertilization experiment 2001-2011
No full textInstantaneous ecosystem carbon dioxide fluxes at Mer Bleue Fertilization experiment, Ottawa, Canada, measured with a transparent, climate-controlled chamber and shrouds during May-August in 2001-2011. During the time period, the collars in Experiment 1 (control O and treatments PK, 5N, 5NPK started in 2000; 10NPK, 20NPK in 2001) were measured in 2001, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2011 and the collars in Experiment 2 (Control X and treatments 10N, 20N started in 2005) in 2008, 2009, 2011.Annual N application levels as NH4NO3 since the beginning of the respective treatments: 5 (1.6 g N m-2), 10 (3.2 g N m-2) and 20 times (6.4 g N m-2) ambient summer time wet N deposition (0.8 g m-2y-1 in 2000) with or without P (5.0 g m-2) and K (6.3 g m-2) as KH2PO4. Distilled water served as control. Nutrient solutions were applied every 3 weeks May-August on triplicate 3 x 3 m plots.

Teaching and participatory media
No full textHow can diversity of teaching practice be appreciated? Perhaps to appreciate diversity we should consider where we have arrived at a consensus, and hence conformity. It is normally expected that mobile phones should be switched off during lectures. For this talk the speaker will request that all mobiles be turned on (though set to silent). As this is against most orthodox teaching practice it could reasonably be concluded that the speaker is not an authority fit to lecture on the subject. For this reason the speaker will instruct the audience not to learn anything during the talk. Notes should not be taken. Instead listeners will be encouraged to send text messages. These messages will be in the form of single words, short phrases or multiple choice answers to questions (similar to classroom voting systems).
It was recently reported that the UK government is considering introducing Twitter to its primary school curriculum (Guardian, 2009). This paper will evaluate ways in which new participatory media are impacting education. A free tool created by the author will be used during the oral presentation of this paper to show how these technologies allow increased participation in learning scenarios. One of the significant aspects of teaching strategies that are utilising text messaging and micro-blogging is that they are allow for teachers to delegate control to learners whilst keeping the format of learner participation sufficiently constrained for use with groups. This can be seen as an application of education research on the concept of Control and how its negotiation and subsequent delegation can be used to increase the degree of autonomy for a learner within a learning trajectory (Moore, 1993; Dron, J. 2007).
