Fritzler A2131 1:00 - 1:30 Coffee Break 3 presenters History and Musicology Uniquely Gould: Glenn Gould, one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, was The Interpretive Style also one of the most controversial. Idolized by some and criticized by others, of Glenn Gould in his interpretations often flagrantly opposed accepted performance standards during an era when the movement towards historically-informed performance Contrast to Historical practice was becoming more prevalent and influential. This raises two important Performance questions: What is the role and responsibility of a performer when interpreting Practice. a piece of music? Secondly, were Glenn Gould’s unconventional interpretations a violation of a musician’s artistic duties? This paper will explore some of the Alyssa Michaud implications of historical performance research on the interpretation of music Time: 9:30 – 10:25 from the baroque era, and then examine Gould’s unique interpretive practices and the reasoning behind them. In light of this research, this paper aims to Room: A2112 propose an approach to these questions that integrates musicologically sound perspectives with individual artistic freedom. Dana and Danish immigrants made up a small but vital part of the mass influx of Dannevang: newcomers to Alberta in the first decades of the twentieth century. As members of an ethnic group respected by the governing authorities and by Examples of Danish the great majority of Canadian citizens, the Danes had a unique opportunity to Folk School projects preserve their ethnic culture that groups like the Ukrainians did not. The Danish in Alberta. Folk Schools that developed in the province of Alberta in the early twentieth Kirstin Bouwsema century were one venue through which the immigrants negotiated between maintaining their Old World cultural heritage and their desire to adapt and Time: 9:30 – 10:25 assimilate into the homesteading community of Alberta. Room: A2112 Preaching Towards Recent debates about religion in the Third Reich have reasserted the importance the Führer: of ideology in Hitler’s Germany and revived several important questions: Was National Socialism itself a political religion or simply a mass movement engaged Pro-Nazi Protestants in religious politics? To what extent did the ideas of neo-pagan racial theorist and Religion in Alfred Rosenberg represent the viewpoint of the National Socialist movement? Hitler’s Germany What plans did Hitler and his associates have for the German churches? One way to approach these questions is to consider how German church leaders, Kyle Jantzen parish clergy, and ordinary Christians understood what Hitler’s government Time: 9:30 – 10:25 was doing to and with their churches. This paper examines the case of a Berlin parish group, the Christian Unity Movement of Germany, to argue that, in the Room: A2112 early years of Hitler’s rule, both Christians and National Socialists (and Christian National Socialists) were convinced that Hitler wanted to partner with the Christian churches to undertake a moral and political renewal of Germany. History Round Moderator: Kyle Jantzen Table Discussion: Presenters: Taylor Glass, Jonathan Hollett, Andrea Penonzek, Kate Poffenroth Christian Approaches to Description: History is never static. Rather, as a dialogue between the past, Writing History present, and future, it always reflects the wider world in which it is written. Moreover, while historians strive to write accurately and fairly, they cannot write Time: 11:00 – 11:55 objectively, as if there were no personal or ideological influences upon their Room: A2112 work. Working from those assumptions, these presenters will outline aspects of their personal approaches to writing history from Christian perspectives. 4 presenters Biology Citizen Science: “Citizen Science” describes the collection of scientific data by largely untrained How Birdwatchers’ amateurs. Birders are citizen scientists par excellence: they have been collecting scientific data for more than a century via such initiatives as the Christmas Bird Observations Count and the Breeding Bird Survey. Birders also contribute to ornithological Enhance knowledge by visiting regions where little research has been done. Two Ornithological such regions are the Kinshasa capital region and the province of Bas-Congo, Knowledge: An Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The avifauna of the DRC have received Example from the a good deal of scientific attention, but most research has concentrated on the interior of the country, and, in particular, on the Albertine Rift, which holds most Democratic Republic of the country’s endemic species. Nevertheless, the intra-country distribution of the Congo of many species remains poorly known. This is particularly true of Kinshasa Sandy Ayer and Bas-Congo, which have received little ornithological attention during the past 50 years. During the summer of 2009 I spent three weeks in these regions. Time: 9:30 – 10:25 During that time, I made a number of observations that contributed to the Room: A2210 understanding of species distribution. I have presented these in an article that will be published in the September 2010 issue of Malimbus: Journal of West African Ornithology . This presentation is a summary of these observations. Comparing the The Achilles tendon, also known as the calcanean tendon, functions to connect Strength and the lateral and medial gastrocnemius muscle as well as the soleus muscle (these muscles compose the calf muscles) to the calcaneus also known as the heel Stretch ability of bone. The Achilles tendon functions to lift the heel up by the contraction of the Achilles tendons calf muscles which transfers the weight onto the toes. The tendon is mainly in Plantigrade, comprised of collagen, a very inelastic connective tissue.

With the changes in tendon morphology and length, the mechanical properties of the tendon may also differ.

Differences may also be seen between fore and hind limbs.

Dr. Lorne Taylor Minister, Innovation and Science Technology leaders to work with government to strengthen information and communications technology sector EDMONTON -- Individuals from some of Alberta's leading information and communications technology organizations are partnering with the government to help the province's technology sector grow to a $30 billion a year industry by 2010. Minister of Innovation and Science Lorne Taylor announced October 21 the appointment of a number of technology and business leaders to three committees that will oversee and advise the government on the implementation of strategies outlined in a provincial Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Strategy. Implementation of the strategy, presented to the government by the Alberta Science and Research Authority (ASRA) in October 1998, is one of the key responsibilities assigned to the department by Premier Ralph Klein when he created the department of Innovation and Science in May 1999. The ICT strategy, which was developed in consultation with business, industry, universities and government departments, is aimed at growing Alberta's ICT sector to a $30 billion a year industry by 2010. The ICT industries and businesses in the province currently generate about $8 billion a year. Another goal of the strategy is to increase the number of jobs in the sector by 35,000 by the province's centennial in 2005.
