AGING on the FARM: TOWARD a MODEL of PASSIONATE PLACE ATTACHMENT a Dissertation Presented to Th AGING ON THE FARM: TOWARD A MODEL OF PASSIONATE PLACE ATTACHMENT ________________________________ A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri _______________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy by DIANA L. INGHAM Ruth Brent Tofle, PhD, Dissertation Supervisor DECEMBER 2009 1 © Copyright by Diana Lynn Ingham 2009 All Rights Reserved The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled AGING ON THE FARM: TOWARD A MODEL OF PASSIONATE PLACE ATTACHMENT Presented by Diana Lynn Ingham, a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, and hereby certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance. ______________________________________________________ Ruth Brent Tofle, PhD ______________________________________________________ Benyamin Schwarz, PhD ______________________________________________________ Newton DeSouza, PhD ________________________________________________________ Mary Grigsby, PhD _______________________________________________________ Myra Aud, PhD DEDICATION This research is dedicated to my family, but especially to my son Joe. I am lucky to have such a supportive and wonderful son. To the farmers who participated and farmers everywhere, I include this poem written by Marie Laswell to my mother around the time parents were married in the mid 1940s. Who is that Executive in Overalls? By: Marie Laswell What is a farmer? Farmers are found in fields – plowing up, seeding down, rotating from, planting to, fertilizing with, praying for, and harvesting if. Wives help them, little boys follow them, salesmen detain them, meals wait for them, weather can delay them, but nothing can stop them. A farmer is a paradox. He is an overalled executive with his office in his home. He is a scientist who uses fertilizer attachments, a purchasing agent in an old straw hat, a personnel director with grease under his fingernails, a dietician with a passion for fresh fruits and vegetables, a production expert faced with a surplus, and a manager battling a price-cost squeeze. He manages more capital than most of the business men in town. He likes sunshine, good food, country fairs, dinner at noon, auctions, his neighbors, his shirt collar unbuttoned, and above all, an above-average annual rainfall. He is not much for droughts, ditcher freeways, weeds, the eight hour day, dusty roads, development, insects, diseases, freezing weather, or helping around the house. Nobody else gets so much satisfaction out of modern plumbing, good weather, automatic furnaces, electric blankets, and home-made ice cream. Nobody else has in his jacket at one time a three bladed knife, a checkbook, a billfold, a pair of pliers and a combination memo book and general farm guide. A farmer is both Faith and Fatalist. He must have faith to meet the challenge of his capacities amid the ever-present possibility that an act of God (a late spring, an early frost, flood, drought) can bring his business to a sudden halt. You can reduce his acreage, but you can‟t diminish his optimism. Might as well put up with him. He is your friend, your competitor, your customer, your source of food and fiber. He is your countryman – a denim-dressed business-wise statesman of stature. And when he comes in at noon having spent the energy of his hopes and dreams, he can be recharged anew with the magic words…”The Markets Up”! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS An endeavor such as this one is never done alone and there are many people to thank. First and foremost I want to thank and acknowledge the input and guidance provided by my dissertation committee: Ruth Tofle, Benyamin Schwarz, Newton DeSouza, Mary Grigsby, and Myra Aud. Appreciation is given as well to the University of Missouri Extension Specialists who helped connect me with older farmers in their counties. This research was totally dependent on farmers speaking with me and I am at so grateful for those who chose to participate in this research. There are several people who deserve special thanks. My advisor, Ruth Tofle, gave me the needed encouragement and support for this research. Her belief in me and my research topic were important in this process. Three special friends donated a lot of time to read multiple drafts of this research and give fresh eyes to the material. Marsha Alexander, Jo Randolph, and Ruth Siress‟ viewpoints and proofing abilities were invaluable to me. Mary Hedberg was instrumental in Word formatting. I am in their debt. Finally, I must acknowledge my colleagues in my graduate cohort, especially Ellen Fisher, Vivian Izsack, Mary Stankos, Micky Trost, and Lisa Tucker. The constant encouragement and feedback we have given to each other has led to the development of true friendship. They have enriched my life and their support has been crucial over the past four years. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .....................................................................................

  • Zen in the Art of Writing – Ray Bradbury
    A NOTE ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ray Bradbury has published some twenty-seven books—novels, stories, plays, essays, and poems—since his first story appeared when he was twenty years old. He began writing for the movies in 1952—with the script for his own Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. The next year he wrote the screenplays for It Came from Outer Space and Moby Dick. And in 1961 he wrote Orson Welles's narration for King of Kings. Films have been made of his "The Picasso Summer," The Illustrated Man, Fahrenheit 451, The Mar- tian Chronicles, and Something Wicked This Way Comes, and the short animated film Icarus Montgolfier Wright, based on his story of the history of flight, was nominated for an Academy Award. Since 1985 he has adapted his stories for "The Ray Bradbury Theater" on USA Cable television.

    OLD TIME TALES OF WARREN COUNTY BY ARCH BRISTOW A COLLECTION OF THE PICTURESQUE AND ROMANTIC LORE OF EARLY DAYS IN WARREN COLTNTY, PENNSYLVANIA PUBLISHED DECEMBER, 1932 PRESS OF TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. MEADVILLE. PA. SUBSCRIBER'S EDITION Limited to 250 COPIES of which this is number ___ CREDIT DUE It is impossible to personally credit all those who so kindly gave their time in aiding me in collecting, sorting and piecing together the material used in weaving these homespun tales of long ago. The book really originated through a conversation with that grand old gentleman Charles M. Chase, of Russell. To him I am indebted for much valuable material. Readers of Old Time Tales have especially to thank W. Floyd Clinger for some of the most valuable mater­ ial in this book. Mr. Clinger most generously allowed me free access to his accurate and invaluable unprinted history of the region of Tidioute. Without this aid some of the most interesting tales could not have been secured. I have also to especially thank John Gilfillan of Tidi­ oute, John L. McKinney of Titusville, George Ensworth of Warren, the Hon. Charles M. Shortt of Sugar Grove, John Logan of Armitage, Mrs. Hanna Sanford of San­ ford, John Day of Youngsville, James Clark of Torpedo, Mrs. A. J. Mays of Garland, J. P. Miller of Sugar Grove, N. P. Wheeler of Endeavor, Mrs. Lemuel Arters of Youngsville, William McGraw of McGraw, John Dutton of Columbus, Mrs. Rose Evans of Bear Lake, L. P. Rogers of Warren, Mrs. Belle A. Boyce of Warren. The names of others who have aided in the making of this book would fill many pages.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 0521834589 - Othello Edited by Julie Hankey Excerpt More information INTRODUCTION Over the last twenty years or so, Othello has leapt into focus as a play for our times. Its story of ‘us and them’ (or rather ‘him’), of brute racism and misogyny, of miscegenation, sexual anxiety and domestic violence – all this seems, with uncanny prescience, to speak directly to us now. At certain moments and places and with certain actors (e.g. in 1943 in the USA with Robeson; in apartheid South Africa with John Kani) the racism within the play has resonated so loudly with the racism outside, that the fit between the seventeenth and the twentieth centuries has seemed complete. ‘Well, I ask you’, wrote Janet Suzman, who directed John Kani, ‘is there a subject on earth which Shakespeare hasn’t thought of first? It is as if he is toying with the theory of apartheid four hundred years before the policy was cooked up.’1 It is often maintained in this way that Shakespeare overturns the racist stereotypes of his day. It is pointed out that the stage Moors that preceded Othello2 would have led audiences to expect a lecherous, crafty,cruel, venge- ful braggart; that the opening ribaldry of Iago and Roderigo plays to these expectations, and that Othello undercuts them as soon as he appears.3 Weare reminded that the play’s ‘demi-devil’ is not the black Othello, but the white Iago. Writing in 1987, the same year as Suzman’s production, the South African critic Martin Orkin was convinced that it was precisely because of this that the play was never taught in South African high schools – that Shakespeare was being censored as an anti-racist before his time.4 But on second thoughts, other resonances jangle.

  • Writing Songs and Writing a Record: Inside the Composition of an Acoustic Pop Album
    Writing Songs and Writing a Record: Inside the Composition of an Acoustic Pop Album. By Greg Arnold BA (Hons.) MEd. Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music) University of Tasmania November, 2013 DECLARATION This exegesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the exegesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgment is made in the text of the exegesis. This exegesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968 Signed: Greg Arnold Date: November 13, 2013 ABSTRACT This project is a study of the author’s creative practice as a songwriter, record producer and performer of mostly (but not exclusively) acoustic pop music. This project has been pursued though performance and composition and is documented in the folio of recordings and the accompanying exegesis. The folio of this submission is weighted at eighty per cent and the exegesis at twenty per cent. It involves the creation of a new studio album by The Swamp Dandies. For this album the author has been songwriter, vocalist, instrumentalist, arranger, engineer and producer. In recognition of the interdependence of component stages, the exegesis provides an analytical narrative account of the entire compositional journey of the album from pre-tracking songwriting through to mastering. Utilising reflective journals and participant interviews undertaken throughout the process it documents and analyses the deliberate and “intuitive” creative methods involved in all of these tasks.

Dennis Taylor Boston College Revised 19 July 2006 1925 Milward born in London. 1933-43 Wimbledon College (a Jesuit secondary school), including preparatory school at Donnhead Lodge (1933-36). "At school I was introduced to Shakespeare, like so many other English schoolchildren, by Charles and Mary Lamb. And then we had the sonnets of his Golden Treasury to learn by heart. Then from the age of 10 onwards, beginning with Macbeth, it was play after play to be read and studied in class, with the learning of the memorable speeches in them, till we were thoroughly indoctrinated with Shakespeare" ("Fifty Years of Shakespeare," 2002). "Between the ages of 11 and 17, I was no play-goer; and the only Shakespeare play I ever watched during that period was The Tempest. I remember very little of it, except for the opening tempest, which was very impressive and so calculated to appeal to small boy like me" ("Fifty Years of Shakespeare," 2002, revised version). 2 1943-47 Entered Society of Jesus, two years noviceship at St.
