The club was formed by Brian Alford and his wife Elaine at the Black Hole Book Store on the first of June 1980. They based it on SASTrEK (the South Australian Star Trek Club), using its constitution as a tem- plate, much as Parsec (“the Aussie Star Wars Appreciation Society, Inc.”) was in turn based upon us in 1997. Two artefacts date back to those days; the constitution (incorporated on the 7th of September 1982) and the first Newsletter (front page pic- tured bottom right, page three opposite). The constitution gives the aims of the club as follow: To enable all persons interested in Doctor Who to meet as a united group and to provide persons interested in such with accurate information.

    The Lodger by Marie Belloc Lowndes The Lodger by Marie Belloc Lowndes The Lodger by Marie Belloc Lowndes "Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness." PSALM lxxxviii. 18 CHAPTER I Robert Bunting and Ellen his wife sat before their dully burning, carefully-banked-up fire. The room, especially when it be known that it was part of a house standing in a grimy, if not exactly sordid, London thoroughfare, was exceptionally clean and well-cared-for. A casual stranger, more particularly one of a Superior class to their own, on suddenly opening the door of that sitting-room; would have thought that Mr. page 1 / 387 and Mrs. Bunting presented a very pleasant cosy picture of comfortable married life. Bunting, who was leaning back in a deep leather arm-chair, was clean-shaven and dapper, still in appearance what he had been for many years of his life--a self-respecting man-servant. On his wife, now sitting up in an uncomfortable straight-backed chair, the marks of past servitude were less apparent; but they were there all the same--in her neat black stuff dress, and in her scrupulously clean, plain collar and cuffs. Mrs. Bunting, as a single woman, had been what is known as a useful maid. But peculiarly true of average English life is the time-worn English proverb as to appearances being deceitful. Mr. and Mrs. Bunting were sitting in a very nice room and in their time--how long ago it now seemed!--both husband and wife had been proud of their carefully chosen belongings.

MRS GILLYFLOWER’S HOUSE. PARLOUR. DUSK. 1 The crashing chords of a pipe organ. Someone is bashing out the tune of a grim and worthy hymn. We’re in a large, red- walled room, suffocating in Victorian bric-a-brac. Track past a series of strange still-lifes. Those oddly disturbing Victorian tableaux - colourful birds stuffed and arranged on twigs, surrounded by artificial flowers and under big glass bell-jars. Gas-light glints in the creatures’ beady glass eyes. The playing stops and a woman rises from the organ. We don’t see her face as she runs her hand over the line of bell-jars. MRS GILLYFLOWER Like pretty maids all in a row. She makes a gentle cooing. Then there’s another sound. A strangely horrible gurgling. Like a contented baby.

A white cane clatters away as a pair of neat little feet ascend a darkened, spiral staircase. The staircase finally ends in a door, padded with old, stained green baize. Fumbling, lace-gloved female hands flutter around the bottom of the door, eventually locating a sort of cat-flap. The hands push through a bowl of grisly-looking food. From the other side of the door comes the sound of heavy, ragged breathing.

  • Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press 2021
    Jan 21 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) did not gather in New York to celebrate the Great Detective’s 167th birthday this year, but the somewhat shorter long weekend offered plenty of events, thanks to Zoom and other modern technol- ogy. Detailed reports will be available soon at the web-site of The Baker Street Irregulars <www.bakerstreetirregulars.com>, but here are few brief paragraphs to tide you over: The BSI’s Distinguished Speaker on Thursday was Andrew Lycett, the author of two fine books about Conan Doyle; his topic was “Conan Doyle’s Questing World” (and close to 400 people were able to attend the virtual lecture); the event also included the announcement by Steve Rothman, editor of the Baker Street Journal, of the winner of the Morley-Montgomery Award for the best article the BSJ last year: Jessica Schilling (for her “Just His Type: An Analysis of the Découpé Warning in The Hound of the Baskervilles”). Irregulars and guests gathered on Friday for the BSI’s annual dinner, with Andrew Joffe offering the traditional first toast to Nina Singleton as The Woman, and the program continued with the usual toasts, rituals, and pap- ers; this year the toast to Mrs. Hudson was delivered by the lady herself, splendidly impersonated by Denny Dobry from his recreation of the sitting- room at 221B Baker Street. Mike Kean (the “Wiggins” of the BSI) presented the Birthday Honours (Irregular Shillings and Investitures) to Dan Andri- acco (St. Saviour’s Near King’s Cross), Deborah Clark (Mrs. Cecil Forres- ter), Carla Coupe (London Bridge), Ann Margaret Lewis (The Polyphonic Mo- tets of Lassus), Steve Mason (The Fortescue Scholarship), Ashley Polasek (Singlestick), Svend Ranild (A “Copenhagen” Label), Ray Riethmeier (Mor- rison, Morrison, and Dodd), Alan Rettig (The Red Lamp), and Tracy Revels (A Black Sequin-Covered Dinner-Dress).

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

  • Organizing Images of Futures-Past: Remembering the Apollo Moon Landings
    Draft pre-publication version of Goodings, L., Brown, S.D., & Parker, M. (2013) Organizing images of futures-past: Remembering the Apollo Moon Landings. International Journal of Management Concepts and Philosophy, forthcoming. Organizing images of futures-past: Remembering the Apollo Moon Landings Lewis Goodings, University of Roehampton, London Steven D. Brown, University of Leicester Martin Parker, University of Leicester Abstract Organizational Memory Studies (OMS) has begun to consider the ways in which organizations construct versions of their own history. These histories have a broader significance through the ways they resource and are contested within cultural memory. In this paper we discuss the way that the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) constituted both its own past and future significance through the remediation and premediation of key images of the Apollo space programme. Drawing on visitor feedback from an exhibition in the National Space Centre in the UK, we identify three distinct narratives through which personal recollections of the Apollo landings are related espoused historical significance – ‘my generation’, ‘watching the landings’ and ‘remembering the future’. The images of the Apollo landings are a site of contestation where nostalgia for the supposed future that NASA sought to premediate is mixed with acknowledgement of the failure of that future to materialise.

Uma primeira parte das ideias aqui contidas foi discutida e produzida nas cercanias de um edifício que frequento desde que tinha cinco anos, e ao qual, de tempos em tempos, sempre pareço voltar: a reitoria da UFPR, no centro de Curitiba, capital paranaense. Este curioso espaço, com seus numerosos e congelantes corredores de pedra, seus excêntricos frequentadores, suas inconfundíveis e intermináveis rampas, e seu aprazível pátio onde se praticam obscuros esportes, sempre se constituiu para mim como uma espécie de segunda casa, e eu posso afirmar, sem sombra de dúvidas, de que foi lá que, em grande medida, eu cresci.
