Box 440, Wa~_lace, Idaho Queen of Bronze Mine Dear Mr. Cox: Josephine_Co.,Oregon T1:lank you for your recent letter summarizing data con­ tained in your notes gatnereo during a prelirrinary v 1 sit to the queen of Bronze mine last September. It is quite obvious that Major Waite was feeling quite optimistic wnen he made the state­ ment to me that there we?e available 400,000 tons of dump material at the property which could be concentrated by sinK-float to a s11ippi:n.e; product assayinr; in excess of 5r£ copper. I doubt tirnt the plant whicn he contemolates for the property coul~ be installed fo:r $50,000 as he stated, but even tho~gh this m~~ht be the case, I am not.sure that the business would be attractive even assuming we could check the balance of his data as outlined during our con­ versations. With ;;,:our estlmate of 175,000 tons of dumns avnilab1e for treatment, and with only 30,000 tons of t~is sho~m to be suit­ able for sinK-flo~t concentrction, t~G r,roposjti0n obviously is of no ints~Ast to the Mining Department. Major Waite may nut this proposltion up to Mr. Marble for financ :tal help, s.s -,- told Waite that a re commend.a 1-:;ion would be re­ quired from the mana. ·er of the rl'ac()ma Plant before any consideration coulci be given to his request for such assistGnce.

    Authorizing the Reader: Dante and the Ends of the Decameron by Natalie Ann Cleaver A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature and Medieval Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Albert Russell Ascoli, Chair Professor Steven Botterill Professor Timothy Hampton Professor Victoria Kahn Spring 2012 Authorizing the Reader: Dante and the Ends of the Decameron ! 2012 by Natalie Ann Cleaver Abstract Authorizing the Reader: Dante and the Ends of the Decameron by Natalie Ann Cleaver Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature and Medieval Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Albert Ascoli, Chair We now speak easily of Dante, Boccaccio, and Petrarch as the tre corone of Italian literature, the three great foundational authors of the tradition, but there is no question who stands first among them. Not just for his historical primacy of place, or his commanding self-presentation, but also for his truly daunting range of influence, Dante Alighieri is the Italian poet with whom all others must reckon. He influenced the development of virtually every aspect of Italian culture, from literature and the Italian language itself, to theology, political philosophy, historical memory, and even constructions of national identity. Though this influence has been long-lasting, it was every bit as pervasive in his own age. Few felt Dante’s shadow more than Giovanni Boccaccio, one of the first in subsequent generations of writers in the vernacular who had to negotiate his relationship to his illustrious predecessor. Boccaccio was a great Dantista in his own right; in addition to giving the first set of public lectures on the Commedia, he also composed the Trattatello in laude di Dante, in which he is the first to apply the epithet divina to the Commedia.

  • Virtual World Primer
    A Virtual Worlds Primer Executive Summary This report provides an overview of virtual worlds – what they are, what they are used for and who uses them. Virtual worlds are simulated environments on the internet, accessed via a computer and sometimes mobile phone. They are persistent, shared experiences for tens of millions of people around the globe. There are three basic kinds of virtual world: games, social worlds and world building tools. While the technology for all three types is similar, each has a different range of uses and different user demographics. People of all ages around the world use virtual worlds. Some are targeted at specific age ranges, such as Club Penguin which is 6+ and Second Life which is 18+. However, World of Warcraft and other virtual worlds appeal to people from their mid-teens through to retirement. From their invention in 1978 at the University of Essex, virtual worlds have grown steadily in popularity. Globally, the number of users of virtual worlds is now in the hundreds of millions, with several individual virtual worlds reporting figures over the 10 million mark. And these users are spending between two and four hours in a virtual world every day, often sacrificing television viewing time to do so. Business models for virtual worlds include: subscription fees, micro-transactions, and advertising supported worlds - including fully branded spaces such as Virtual MTV (vMTV). Within game worlds, complex economies thrive on the redistribution of virtual resources by individual users. Social worlds in particular find the users embedding traditional business models into the virtual world by offering goods and services such as marketing and design of virtual objects for real currency.
