  • Big Mama and the Whistlin' Woman: a Theory of African
    BIG MAMA AND THE WHISTLIN’ WOMAN: A THEORY OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN ARCHETYPES A DISSERTATION SUBMHTED TO THE FACULTY OF CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIRMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF ARTS IN HUMANITIES BY JAN ALEXIA HOLSTON DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ATLANTA, GEORGIA DECEMBER 2010 ABSTRACT ENGLISH HOLSTON, JAN A. B.S. GA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY, 1998 M.ED. MERCER UNIVERSITY, 2005 BIG MAMA AND THE WHISTLIN’ WOMAN: A THEORY OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN ARCHETYPES Committee Chair: Georgene Bess-Montgomery, Ph.D. Dissertation dated December 2010 This study introduces a literary Theory of African-American Archetypes, which is an outgrowth of two parent theories, Archetypal Criticism and African-American Literary Criticism. The theory posits that the folklore of Africana peoples created and inform culturally specific archetypes, which are deeply seeded in the collective unconscious of many African Americans. As in life, such archetypes are prevalent in African-American literature, which is momentous because they are both historic and perpetual within the community. The African-American Archetypal Big Mama is the character that will be used to demonstrate the theory as a viable form of literary criticism, using Gloria Naylor’s Mama ~y. Examination of her opposite, the Whistlin’ Woman, in Tina McElroy Ansa’s Ugly Ways and Taking After Mudear will substantiate and define the African-American Archetypal Big Mama by negation. Elucidation and application of the theory to African American literature are significant because they widen the criticism particularly for texts I by and for African Americans. Additionally, the application opens the doors for critics of multi-ethnic literature to examine their own cultural idiosyncrasies and subsequent lore for archetypes explicit to their literary traditions.

  • 2018 Nomination Slate of ASFA Officers and Bios
    2018 ASFA Officer Nominations Below is the slate of nominated officers for the 2018-2020 ASFA Board of Directors. A brief biography for each follows the listing. Election wil be held at the 2018 ASFA ACoD. President: Jeff Lipps 1st Vice President: Phil Fullum 2nd Vice President: Gregory Breitbach Chief Financial Officer: Gary Roush Recording Secretary: Ping Pirrung Corresponding Secretary: Holly Hamilton PRESIDENT: Jeff Lipps More than twenty years ago, Kathy and I decided we wanted to become a dog household. After visiting a local Saluki breeder, we fell in love with the breed. While we started our adventure in Salukis as the classic “pet home,” that seemed to be short lived. We quickly had our own Kennel name, and doubled our household Saluki population. One of our objectives in starting our Kennel was to breed dual champions. We wanted Salukis that not only exemplify the breed standard, but also perform on the field with the strength, agility and athleticism the Saluki hunters were expected to possess. Windrush Salukis produced its first litter in 1999. Since then, five litters have been whelped. Many of those Salukis have gone on to excel in both the conformation ring and on the lure coursing field. Windrush Salukis has had 38 AKC Conformation Champions, 22 of whom were dual champions. Typically, seven to ten of our Salukis run regularly in lure coursing events. The top three lifetime ASFA Salukis are from our Kennel, Windrush Salukis. Windrush Salukis has had two BII winners. My love of lure coursing quickly drove me to give what I could to the sport.

  • Cougar 1 Cougar
    Cougar 1 Cougar Cougar[1] Temporal range: Middle Pleistocene to recent Conservation status [2] Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Felidae Genus: Puma Species: Puma concolor Binomial name Puma concolor (Linnaeus, 1771) Cougar 2 Cougar range The cougar (Puma concolor), also known as puma, mountain lion, mountain cat, catamount or panther, depending on the region, is a mammal of the family Felidae, native to the Americas. This large, solitary cat has the greatest range of any large wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere,[3] extending from Yukon in Canada to the southern Andes of South America. An adaptable, generalist species, the cougar is found in every major American habitat type. It is the second heaviest cat in the Western Hemisphere, after the jaguar. Although large, the cougar is most closely related to smaller felines and is closer genetically to the domestic cat than to true lions. A capable stalk-and-ambush predator, the cougar pursues a wide variety of prey. Primary food sources include ungulates such as deer, elk, moose, and bighorn sheep, as well as domestic cattle, horses and sheep, particularly in the northern part of its range. It will also hunt species as small as insects and rodents. This cat prefers habitats with dense underbrush and rocky areas for stalking, but it can also live in open areas. The cougar is territorial and persists at low population densities. Individual territory sizes depend on terrain, vegetation, and abundance of prey. While it is a large predator, it is not always the dominant species in its range, as when it competes for prey with other predators such as the jaguar, grey wolf, American Black Bear, and the grizzly bear.

  • Lycaon Pictus) in HWANGE NATIONAL PARK(HNP
    THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF GASTROINTERSTINAL PARASITES IN PAINTED DOGS (Lycaon pictus) IN HWANGE NATIONAL PARK(HNP). BY TAKUNDA.T. TAURO A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of BSc (Hons) Animal and Wildlife Sciences, Department of Animal and Wildlife Sciences, Faculty of Natural Resources Management and Agriculture Midlands State University May 2018 Page | i ABSTRACT An epidemiological survey was conducted on the prevalence and risk factors associated with intestinal parasites of African Painted dog in Hwange National Park between June 2016 and July 2017. Centrifugal flotation and McMaster techniques were employed to obtain comprehensive data on the prevalence and diversity of gastrointestinal parasites observed in faecal samples collected from painted dogs. A total of 58 painted dogs were surveyed. Out of these, all were infected with at least one intestinal parasite and 10 parasite genera of gastrointestinal i.e. Alaria, Physolaptera, Isospora, Spirocerca, Dipylidium, Uncinaria, Toxoscaris, Toxocara, Taenia, Ancylostoma and Sarcocystis spp were recorded. Two parasites (Physolaptera and Spirocerca) have been reported for the first time in this study. Sarcocystis had the highest prevalence (28.2%) and intensity (629.18±113.01), while the lowest prevalence was for Physolaptera and Alaria spp (0.6% prevalence and 50± 0 intensity). Level of parasitism was statistically significant across all parasites species (F=0.036; p<0.05). The findings also revealed significant difference in intensity between packs (F= 0.037; p <0.05), no significant difference in level of parasitism between season (F=0.275; p > 0.05). Results were comparable basing on location but with no statistical significance (P=0.132).

    Paws for Reading What is a paw? Is it a foot/hand of an animal? Can a paw be a foot, and can a foot be a paw? A paw is the lower part attached to the leg of an animal. It is usually furry, ovoid (egg shaped) with soft pads on the bottom and claws. Paws could be the fore foot or hind foot of an animal. Fe et are elongated, not very hairy and have nails not claws. A paw can be a foot, but a foot cannot be paw. People do not have paws, but racoons do. So, what animals have paws? Cats, dogs, racoons, bears, weasels, mice (rodents), fox, wolves. How many toes do they have? They will have either four toes or five toes. Four toed animals are the cat, dog, fox, wolf, and coyotes (they also have a dewclaw, it is like our thumb). tRabbits have paws with four toes and a dewclaw but no pad on the bottom. It is furry. Other four toes animals are big cats like the cougar and lion. Five toed animals are weasels, skunks, otters, and bears. Plus, many more. Sometimes a cat or dog is born with extra toes. This cat/dog would be called a Polydactyl cat/dog. Polydactyl is Greek for many digits. Have you seen tracks in the dust or mud and wondered what animal made those? Some tracks are easy to identify, other are much harder. Size is a clue to identifying certain tracks. Number of toes is another clue. Does it have claws showing in the track? Are the front tracks inline with the back track or are they off set? Can an animal use it paws for other things besides walking/running? Yes, many animals use their paws to hit or swipe at another animal.
