Kntcred according to Act of Coiigi-css, In tlie year i86S, By DICK & FITZGERALD, In the Clerk's Office of the District Omi't of the United States for the SouLhero Distiict of New York. PEEF ACE. Although a Tolime of this kind requires little by way 5f Preface, *e Lave d, few remarks to make, concerning the fruit of so ardent but pleasurable a task as we have found ita preparation to be. No pains nor expense have been spared that could render the Sociable a complete and perfect repertoire of the Amusements of Home, while the great- est care has been taken to exclude everything that might possibly be objected to by the most rigidly fastidious. Most of the recreations, here described, are entirely new, having been pre- pared expressly for this work by competent writers. The majority of the Parlor Theatricals are from the pens of Messrs. Frank Cahill and George Arnold—gentlemen of deserved literary popularity. The Games of Action, Forfeits, and Ruses or Catch Games, will prove exceedingly pleasant for the younger members of the social circle ; while those department comprising Games requu-ing Memory and Attention, Wit and Intelligence, the Puzzles, and the Parlor Magic, are well worthy the atten- tion of those "children of a larger growill," who are sensible enough not to ' -be above being amused. ; The Tableaux Vivants may bo new to many of our readers, although they have been popular for some years, in polite society, both in Europe and this country, and especially in the South. "These Tableaux are easily understood and arranged by persons of taste, and form one of the most refined recrea- tions that a mixed paily can indulge in. TVe have striven to make this volume a hand-book of interestinff and agreeable amusement for femily circles, for schools, for pic-nic parties, for Hodal clubs, aud, la short, for all occasions where diversion is appropriate ; . and we would express an earnest hope that our endeavors may meet witli V^^the favor and appreciation of which we have tried to render them in eveiy '-%ay worlhr I ]^D EX.

  • Neutral Emergence and Coarse Graining Cellular Automata
    NEUTRAL EMERGENCE AND COARSE GRAINING CELLULAR AUTOMATA Andrew Weeks Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of York Department of Computer Science March 2010 Neutral Emergence and Coarse Graining Cellular Automata ABSTRACT Emergent systems are often thought of as special, and are often linked to desirable properties like robustness, fault tolerance and adaptability. But, though not well understood, emergence is not a magical, unfathomable property. We introduce neutral emergence as a new way to explore emergent phe- nomena, showing that being good enough, enough of the time may actu- ally yield more robust solutions more quickly. We then use cellular automata as a substrate to investigate emergence, and find they are capable of exhibiting emergent phenomena through coarse graining. Coarse graining shows us that emergence is a relative concept – while some models may be more useful, there is no correct emergent model – and that emergence is lossy, mapping the high level model to a subset of the low level behaviour. We develop a method of quantifying the ‘goodness’ of a coarse graining (and the quality of the emergent model) and use this to find emergent models – and, later, the emergent models we want – automatically. i Neutral Emergence and Coarse Graining Cellular Automata ii Neutral Emergence and Coarse Graining Cellular Automata CONTENTS Abstract i Figures ix Acknowledgements xv Declaration xvii 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Neutral emergence 1 1.2 Evolutionary algorithms, landscapes and dynamics 1 1.3 Investigations with

We truly believe you have in your procession one of the strongest book tests, certainly the strongest Diary type book test ever devised. A statement we don’t use lightly and after reading these instructions and using the book we think you’ll agree. The concept originally came about after I reviewed another book test by Mike using the same principle called Celebrity Presage. I contacted Mike with my idea for the diary and together we worked on producing Diary Presage. It went through many stages until we got it to what you have now, and in collaboration with Richard Webster and Atlas Brookings we can now offer the fraternity this amazing product. After working this ourselves we both realize the hardest part is holding back and not performing all the routines at once.

    Identifying, Measuring, and Defining Equitable Mathematics Instruction by Imani Dominique Goffney A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Education) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Deborah Loewenberg Ball, Chair Professor Hyman Bass Professor Percy Bates Associate Professor Robert B. Bain Assistant Professor Vilma Mesa © Imani Masters Goffney 2010 DEDICATION My princesses Bria and Naima Remember that with faith, hard work, and God you can do anything! ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation would not have been written without the tremendous support, guidance, encouragement, and friendship I received from my family, ―family‖, friends, and colleagues. I would first like to thank my family. To Brian for being everything I needed (co- parent, spades partner, dishwasher, editor, supportive shoulder) to help me get through this process. This process tested the boundaries of his patience, but he stepped up, learning to do bath, homework, cook, comb hair, and edit chapters. Thanks for being willing to both wipe away my tears and tell me when it was time to get over it. We celebrate this milestone together. Thanks to my beautiful and wonderful daughters, Bria and Naima, who have brought me more joy than I can say. Thanks Bria for being such an awesome daughter and for all of your patience and support. I know this was hard on you at times, and you handled my being busy with grace and love and I really appreciate it. To my little Naima who always makes me smile and is a perfect example of joy, love, patience, and friendship.
