  • Response from Safe Assignment
    about me: response from Safe Assignment phe 07 April, 2006 Lincoln, Nebraska, United States The views expressed by I received a very timely and comprehensive response the author represent (or detailing the other side of the story misrepresent) nothing other than the author himself. From Max: Indeed, the allegations are very serious, and I am almost certain that the owners of our company will pursue this is a court. TurnItIn made such defamatory statements in the past, but apparently stopped after a “cease and desist” letter from a legal representative of Sciworth Inc. last spring. This is the first reoccurrence of disparagement by TurnItIn we became aware of since then, and we have to react stronger than merely disproving their claims. Going back to the claims, made by TurnItIn, it is easy to see that some of them are misrepresentation of facts, while others are blatant deception. I’ll start in the order that these claims appear in the letter: 1. “… the ties that the owner of SafeAssignment, Max Litvin (also spelled Lytvyn), has to cheat sites, (termpaper mills)…” – first, I am not the owner of SafeAssignment. SafeAssignment is not a company – it is a product (a part of MyDropBox Suite), and this product, just like the rest of the MyDropBox products, belongs to Sciworth Inc. I do not own any share of Sciworth Inc. Yes, I invented the technology that powers SafeAssignment over six years ago, and I am working for Sciworth Inc. at this moment, but presenting me as the owner of the company and the product is a misrepresentation.

  • Sydney Dance Company - a Study of a Connecting Thread with the Ballets Russes’
    ‘Sydney Dance Company - A study of a connecting thread with the Ballets Russes’ Peter Stell B.A. (Hons). The Australian Centre, School of Historical Studies, The University of Melbourne. A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts by Research May, 2009. i Declaration I declare that the work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original, except as acknowledged in the text, and that the material has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. …………………………………………. Peter Stell ii Abstract This thesis addresses unexplored territory within a relatively new body of scholarship concerning the history of the Ballets Russes in Australia. Specifically, it explores the connection between the original Diaghilev Ballets Russes (1909- 1929) and the trajectories of influence of Russian ballets that visited Australia. The study’s hypothesis is that the Sydney Dance Company, under the artistic direction of Graeme Murphy between 1976 and 2007, and the creation in 1978 of Murphy’s first full-length work Poppy, best exemplifies in contemporary terms the influence in Australia of the Ballets Russes. Murphy was inspired to create Poppy from his reading of the prominent artistic collaborator of the Ballets Russes, Jean Cocteau. This thesis asserts that Poppy, and its demonstrable essential connection with the original Diaghilev epoch, was the principal driver of Murphy’s artistic leadership over fifty dance creations by himself and collaborative artists. This study sketches the origins of the Ballets Russes, the impact its launch made on dance in the West, and how it progressed through three distinguishable phases of influence.
