Title. 919X042 919.4!042 Printed and bound by the South Australian Government Printer . PREFACE In 1938 the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia, South Australian Branch, received the gift of a manuscript diary. The donor was Mrs. Hector Reid, of St. Lucia, British West Indies, a granddaughter of Daniel Brock, who had kept the diary while a member of Captain Charles Sturt's inland expedition in 1844-1846. Mrs. Reid wished the diary to return to South Australia, where Brock had spent most of his adult life, and to he preserved by a public body rather than remain the private possession of one of his descendants. The gift was acknowledged and the diary lodged on a shelf in the Society's library, but its importance does not seem to have been realized, and in course of time even its existence was apparently forgotten. The diary came to light again in 1966, when the Society was co-operating with the Sturt Memorial Museum Trust in planning an exhibition to commemorate the centenary of Charles Sturt's death. In searching for material Mr. K. T. Borrow, a member of the Society's Council and also of the Trust, came across the diary and realized its historical importance. It was exhibited in the Sturt Exhibition as part of the Adelaide Festival of Arts, 1966, and the public was made aware of the nature of its contents by Mrs. Elizabeth Lawrenson, who wrote several newspaper articles and delivered a paper to the Society, New Light on Captain Sturt's Northern Expedition. PREFACE vi The publicity accorded to the diary elicited the fact that there was another one in existence, written by Brock in 1843, when he was a stock inspector for the South Australian Company. This diary, Recollections of D.C.B. 1843, was presented to the South Australian Archives by another Brock descendant, Mrs. Joan Salter of Balmoral, Victoria. Photostat copies were made for the State library, and the Society's library. Copies of the expedition diary were also made for the Archives, the State Library, and the Society's library, and one was presented to the Brock family in the person of the late Mr. Ken Brock of Beaumont, South Australia. The original was withdrawn from the Society's library and locked away on the advice of the State Librarian that any unnecessary handling, or even further use for photostating, was to he avoided. The Society's council considered the publication of the expedition diary, wholly or in part. There were reasons for hesitation. Brock was highly critical of other members of the party, including Sturt himself, and the great explorer's centenary hardly seemed the ideal moment to publish such material. On the other hand, an expurgated edition would remove much of the point and force of the work without adding significantly to historical knowledge. The decisive factors were the sheer interest and literary merit of the work, which were enough to over-ride all but the strongest misgivings. It was therefore resolved that eventually the entire text should be published, but as the Society did not then have the resources to do this, all that could be done was to make a start on preparing the text and considering the most suitable form of presentation. PREFACE vii In the meantime, the photostat copies were made available to researchers. Not only Mrs. Lawrenson's work, already mentioned, but also references to and quotations from the diary in Michael Langley's definitive biography, Sturt of the Murray (Robert Hale, London, 1969), deal specifically with Brock's condemnations of Sturt, so that the matter has become common knowledge. Both Mrs. Lawrenson and Mr. Langley take the view (with which the present writer agrees) that Sturt's great reputation is not seriously assailed by such criticisms, and a fuller discussion of this will be found in the Introduction. In presenting this work to the public, the Society desires to thank the following: as already mentioned, Mr. K. T. Borrow and Mrs. R. A. Guy (formerly Mrs. Elizabeth Lawrenson); the late Mr. R. M. Laffer and the late Mr. K. A. Brock, whose bequests made publication possible; several descendants of Daniel Brock, especially Mrs. Joan Salter and Mrs. Jocelyn Russell; Mr. H. C. Brideson, who as State Librarian gave valuable assistance and advice in the early stages; the late Mrs. Marjorie Findlay, who had the difficult task of typing the first draft; and Mrs. Jill Conlon, who typed the revised draft for the printers.

In this thesis, we address the problem of modeling musical influence using a dataset of 143,625 audio files and a ground truth expert-curated network graph of artist-to-artist influence consisting of 16,704 artists scraped from AllMusic.com. We explore two audio content-based approaches to modeling influence: first, we take a topic modeling approach, specifically using the Document Influence Model (DIM) to infer artist-level influence on the evolution of musical topics. We find the artist influence measure derived from this model to correlate with the ground truth graph of artist influence. Second, we propose an approach for classifying artist-to-artist influence using siamese convolutional neural networks trained on mel-spectrogram representations of song audio. We find that this approach is promising, achieving an accuracy of 0.7 on a validation set, and we propose an algorithm using our trained siamese network model to rank influences.

It is a record of the colourful characters and individuals who have contributed so much to the development of our City. This entertaining booklet paints a picture of a community that is proud of its past and positive about its future; a community that welcomes and embraces people whose luck in life has run out and a community that includes many, very successful businesses and individuals. The Historic South West Corner booklet is a project initiated by the South West Community Network. The Network was instigated and is supported by Adelaide City Council. The Council encourages active engagement of local communities in City life and in making decisions about their neighbourhood. A method of accomplishing this is through the development of local projects such as the production of this booklet. The booklet presents a history of the South West Corner of the City that will inspire people to think of this area as an interesting place to live, work and visit. I hope that you will enjoy reading this exciting, factual and humorous account of how the South West community of the past created a great community spirit of the present.

  • JOE HILL; IWW SONGWRITER the Truth About "The Man Who Never Died ": $1.00
    PREAMBLE OF THE INDUSTRIAL WORKERS OF THE WORLD The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can he no peace so long as hunger and wa nt are found among millions of working people and the few , who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life. Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the wo rk ­ ers of the world organize as a class, take pos~e~sion of the earth and the machinery of production. and abolish the wage system. We find that the centering of the management of ind ustries in­ to fewe r and fewer hands makes the trade un ions unable to cope with the ever growing power of the employing class. The trade unio ns foster a state of affairs which all ows one set of work ers to be pitted aga inst another set of workers in the sa me industry. thereby helping defeat one another in wage wars. Moreover, the trade unions aid the employing class to mislead the workers into the belief that the working class have interests in common with their employers. These conditions can be changed and the interest of the work­ ing class upheld only by an organization formed in such a way that all its members in any one industry. or in all industries if necessary, cease work whenever a strike or lockout is on in any department thereof, thus making an injury to one an inj ury to all . Instead of the conservative motto, '"A fair day's wage for a fair day's work ," we must inscribe on our banner the revolutiona ry watchword , "Abolition of the wage system." It is the historic mission of the working class to do away with capitalism.

  • Yosano Akiko's Princess Saho and Its Multiple Speakers
    WASEDA RILAS JOURNAL NO. 8 特集 5 特集 5 RILAS 研究部門「創作と翻訳の超領域的研究」 Yosano Akiko’s Princess Saho and its Multiple Speakers Janine BEICHMAN Abstract To translate is to interpret, and this is especially so for a difficult poet like Yosano Akiko. The translator con- fronting the task of interpreting the stupendous number of poems that Yosano Akiko (1878-1942) published over the course of her career begins, of course, by looking into the biographical background and reading as many com- mentaries as possible, but often that is not enough. Then come such avenues of inquiry as comparing iterations of the same themes within the corpus of the poetry itself, picking up echoes of Japanese classical and other litera- tures, and noting connections to Western literature, art, and ideas. In working with the poems here, I have used all these avenues. There is also one other approach, and that is to cycle between Akiko’s prose and her poetry. She often touched on the same topic and themes in both genres, sometimes using the prose to explain the poetry and even vice versa. The essay “Bosei Henchō wo Haisu” (I oppose the glorification of motherhood, 1916) is usually considered only in terms of its role in the public debate on the protection of motherhood (bosei hogo ronsō) that Akiko car- ried on in the media between 1916 and 1919, but it also provides a good background for reading her poetry. This is because Akiko explains her criticism of the glorification of motherhood by eloquently articulating her concep- tion of the self as multi-focal, a conception which in a certain sense is the philosophical counterpart of the multiple speakers that populate her poems.
