    Primates In Our Midst May Term 2018: London, Gibraltar and Louisville Illinois Wesleyan University May 8 – 25, 2018 Program Direction and Academic Content by Dr. Ellen Furlong and Jill Katka, Assistant Curator for the Louisville Zoo’s Commissary and Gorilla Forest. Course: Psych 369: Primates in our Midst: How Monkeys Solve the Human Problem Nonhuman primate minds are shaped for problems they encounter in the wild foraging social relationships, navigating space, etc. However, many face new cognitive challenges imposed by living with or around humans, either in captivity (i.e., in zoos or sanctuaries) or the wild (when humans co-occupy their habitats through urban sprawl, deforestation, ecotourism, etc.) Primates have succeeded to the extent they have thanks to a hallmark of their primate minds: the ability to change their behavior intelligently in reaction to new situations. We will examine how primates flexibility adapt to humans both in captivity (the London Zoo, Howlett’s Animal Park) and the “wild” (Gibraltar Nature Reserve). We will then apply what we have learned to construct enrichment items for primates at the Louisville Zoo. Itinerary Tuesday May 8 CHICAGO Departure.

  • SEAN LYNCH a BLOW by BLOW ACCOUNT of STONE CARVING in OXFORD 12 April – 8 June This Exhibition Presents the Varied Practice of Artist Sean Lynch (B
    MODERN ART OXFORD SEAN LYNCH A BLOW BY BLOW ACCOUNT OF STONE CARVING IN OXFORD 12 April – 8 June This exhibition presents the varied practice of artist Sean Lynch (b. Kerry, Ireland, 1978) through a range of works including sculpture, photographs and a slide projection located in Modern Art Oxford’s yard, shop, Project Space and cafe. Lynch is interested in recovering moments in history which have thus far eluded popular consciousness. Adopting an ethnographic approach to his research, he reassembles lost artefacts, fragments and narratives to present an alternative perspective on the past. For this exhibition, Lynch concentrates primarily on the legacy of the O’Shea brothers, stone carvers from Ireland whose handiwork can be seen in Oxford today. Known for their skilled carvings adorning significant Victorian buildings in Dublin created during the 1850s, the O’Sheas were invited by the University of Oxford to work on the new Museum of Natural History. Lynch’s slide projection, presented in the Project Space, explores a controversy that arose after the O’Sheas carved a series of monkeys into the facade of the Natural History Museum. Construed as a reference to Darwin’s then contentious theory of evolution; the brothers were dismissed, only to attempt a final rebellious carving of parrots and owls over the doorway of the museum, intended to caricature the authorities of the University. Lynch carefully weaves this tale into the documented history of The Ark, the UK’s first public museum located in Lambeth, London and founded in the 1630s by John Tradescant, whose collection later formed the basis of the Ashmolean Museum.

  • St James Conservation Area Audit
    ST JAMES’S 17 CONSERVATION AREA AUDIT AREA CONSERVATION Document Title: St James Conservation Area Audit Status: Adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance Document ID No.: 2471 This report is based on a draft prepared by B D P. Following a consultation programme undertaken by the council it was adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance by the Cabinet Member for City Development on 27 November 2002. Published December 2002 © Westminster City Council Department of Planning & Transportation, Development Planning Services, City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QP www.westminster.gov.uk PREFACE Since the designation of the first conservation areas in 1967 the City Council has undertaken a comprehensive programme of conservation area designation, extensions and policy development. There are now 53 conservation areas in Westminster, covering 76% of the City. These conservation areas are the subject of detailed policies in the Unitary Development Plan and in Supplementary Planning Guidance. In addition to the basic activity of designation and the formulation of general policy, the City Council is required to undertake conservation area appraisals and to devise local policies in order to protect the unique character of each area. Although this process was first undertaken with the various designation reports, more recent national guidance (as found in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 and the English Heritage Conservation Area Practice and Conservation Area Appraisal documents) requires detailed appraisals of each conservation area in the form of formally approved and published documents. This enhanced process involves the review of original designation procedures and boundaries; analysis of historical development; identification of all listed buildings and those unlisted buildings making a positive contribution to an area; and the identification and description of key townscape features, including street patterns, trees, open spaces and building types.

The project is ambitious for a number of reasons – but in terms of this Business Plan, most importantly because it will provide a complete step change in the level of commercial activity onsite. Turnover will increase onsite fourfold to around £1m p.a. as a direct result of the project , and expenditure will increase by around a third. This Business Plan provides a detailed assessment of the forecast operational performance of Marble Hill House and Park under the project.
