The Government of London and its relations with the Crown 1400 - 1450
PhDThe available sources have, to some extent, determined the form of
this thesis, which was undertaken in the hope that a more detailed study of
the relations between London and the Crown during the years 1400-1150 would
place in perspective the crises with which it begins and ends. The most
important source of material for this study has been the Journals of the
Court of Aldermen and Common Council which survive from 1416 (the years 1429-
1436 are missing). Historians with the help of a nineteenth century index
have quarried in these Journals, but they have never been read through
systematically. Journals nos. 3 and 6, having been wrongly bound up, could
not be used until their pages had been sorted into the correct order from
the internal evidence of their contents. The scribes who compiled the
Journals were both careless and cautious which increases the difficulty in
interpreting their crabbed notes. From studying the Journals dominant themes
emerged which were then followed up at the Public Record Office and elsewhere.
The conclusions from this study fall into three main categories. The
Journals provided a great deal of material from which it was possible to
draw a much more detailed picture of the machinery and business of the
government of medieval London. The Aldermen and civic officials emerge as
conservative, but conscientious, men who might press hardly upon minority
interests, but had constantly before their eyes the needs of the City as a
whole.
Secondly it has been possible to tidy up the chronology of the crises
themselves. At such times as Bolingbroke's usurpation and Cade's revolt the civic scribes were least active and most cautious. But it seems clear that
the London support for both these men has been exaggerated and that the
fundamental conservatism of the City governors was not easily rocked, whether
by royal scions or Kentish peasants.
But this study has proved most useful where the more mundane contact
between the Crown and the citizens could be examined, In this way it has
been possible to place the financial relations between the King and the City
in perspective, and to realize that the King did not come as a beggar to the
Londoners, since he had at his disposal all the chartered freedoms and
privileges which were essential to the communal and economic life of the
City. London, in spite of its great prestige and financial importance, still
operated in the fifteenth century within a framework of royal privilege.
'While the memory of Richard II's action in 1392 was still, green, the
Londoners were in no position to demand redress of grievances before supply.
In understanding the delicate balance of the relationship between the Crown
and the Londoners it is easier to understand the survival of the Lancastrian
dynasty

The Wooster Voice (Wooster, OH), 2006-04-07
This edition of the College of Wooster\u27s student run newspaper, The Wooster Voice, was published on April 7 of 2006, and it is eight pages long. Registration will take place online this year using the database Scotweb. A lecture by Professor of English at Oberlin College, Pat Day, was sponsored by Phi Alpha Theta. Day spoke about the 1933 King Kong film. The Greeks were threatened with an email right after spring break that they would need to fill Bissman fully or some to all of the members would be removed to allow others to live there. Two juniors, Stephen Poprocki and Margaret Timmers, were chosen to receive the Goldwater Scholarship. Justine McCullough writes about this year\u27s IS Monday celebration on page four. Also on the fourth page are the shortest, longest, most unique, tongue twisters, and advanced titles. Photos from the celebration are on the fifth page. The executive assistant to secretary, Sally Whitman has completed her thirteen year journey to receiving her undergraduate degree at Wooster. The athletic updates for the week are on pages seven and eight.https://openworks.wooster.edu/voice2001-2011/1408/thumbnail.jp

When decision support systems fail: insights for strategic information systems from Formula
Decision support systems (DSS) are sophisticated tools that increasingly take advantage of big data and are used to design and implement individual - and organization - level strategic decisions . Yet, when organizations excessively rely on their potential the outcome may be decision - making failure, particularly when such tools are applied under high pressure and turbulent conditions. Partial understanding and unidimensional interpretation can prevent learning from failure. Building on a practice perspective, we study an iconic case of strategic failure in Formula 1 racing. Our approach, which integrates the decision maker as well as the organizational and material context , identifies three interrelated sources of strategic failure that are worth investigation for decision - makers using DSS and big data: (1) t he situated nature and affordances of decision - making ; (2) t he distributed nature of cognition in decision - making; and (3) the performativity of the DSS. We outline specific research questions and their implications for firm performance and competitive advantage. Finally, we advance an agenda that can help close timely gaps in strategic IS research
A phylogeny of the tinamous (Aves: Palaeognathiformes) based on integumentary characters
A cladistic analysis of the tinamous, including the 47 currently recognized species and some distinct subspecies, was conducted based on 80 integumentary characters from adult and natal plumage, ramphoteca (corneum sheath of bill), and podoteca (horny scales of legs). For the adult plumage (50 characters), we studied feather pigmentation patterns from different pterylae (feather tracts). A criterion of overlap of basic pigmentation elements was used to assign costs to the transformation between the states in most of these characters in such a way that transformations between more similar conditions were less costly. The consensus tree was almost fully resolved, and about 50% of its groups were relatively well supported. Because the only outgroup that could be used provided a poor root, two possible rootings of the ingroup subtree were considered; in both cases, only one of the two traditional subfamilies (the steppe tinamous) was recovered, and the other (the forest tinamous) appeared as paraphyletic. The results of the present analysis are compared with those from an osteological data set, using a strict supertree technique. The combined tree has a large number of nodes, indicating a high degree of congruence between the two data sets.Fil: Bertelli, Sara Beatriz.
