Letter from Ray Stannard Baker to John Muir, 1902 Jan 24.

Mc CLURES MAGAZINE,141-155 EAST TWENTY- FIFTH ST.NEW YORK.Jan. 24, 1902.Mr. John Muir,Martinez, CalifMy Dear Mr. Muir:I was very glad indeed to know that you liked the John Burroughs Anthology. I met Mr. Burroughs the other day for the first time, and much enjoyed shaking his hand.We are now planning to illustrate our article about you. We had thought of publishing a number of pictures of your friends including Emerson, Asa Gray, Sir Joseph Hooker, John Burroughs, and Prof. Sargent. How does this list please you? Are there any other?I suppose you have writing enough on hand to last you for a long time, but I wanted to tell you how much we should like to have a book from you. I think I told you we were planning a series of notable nature books, and we wanted to have one of the number written by you. Last Spring, when I was in San Francisco, went to the public library and referred to most of the letters which you wrote in earlier days for the Bulletin. I felt at the time that they should be rescued, and published in book form. They certainly interested me very much. I enjoyed your first keen impression of the mountains. Now why could not this collection be made? Perhaps soon? If you say so we could have the letters copied out, typewritten, and placed in form so you could select and revise them for publication. I think these early tramps in the Sierra and on the Glaciers, would not only please those who have long known and admired your work, but we think they would much extend your public.02945 Mc CLURE\u27S MAGAZINE,141-155 EAST TWENTY- FIFTH ST.NEW YORK.(2)--- J.M.Jan. 24, 1902.You may feel sure that if our house took hold of the book, no effort would be spared to give it a good sale.When you find time, I should he glad If r you would write me what you think about this scheme.Yours sincerely,[illegible]0294

Letter from Ray S. Baker to John Muir, 1901 Aug 21.

THE S.S. McCLURE COMPANY,PUBLISHERS,NEW YORK AND LONDON,EDITORIAL ROOMS141 EAST TWENTY-FIFTH ST. NEW YORK.August 21, 1901.Mr, John Muir,Martinez, California.My dear Mr. Muir;I have been wondering if you have returned yet from the Yosemite trip with the Sierra Club. It was a great disappointment to me that I could not go along and enjoy with you a season of wilderness, but my work would not permit.Since my visit with you I have been working as I could on an article which I hope may give the readers of Mc Clure\u27s Magazine a better acquaintance with you. I shall venture presently to send you a copy of the manuscript. I have endeavored to make the article thoroughly accurate, but having to depend somewhat upon my memory of the things we talked about, I may have slipped into error.I recall your having expressed admiration for Walter Bagehot\u27s Essays. Our firm has recently issued a rather nice special edition of his Shakespeare The Man which I thought you might like to have, and I am therefore sending it to you.I saw Mr. Johnson the other day, and told him of my visit with you.Very sincerely yours,Ray S. Baker.P. S. I have retained the magazines and pamphlets which you so kindly permitted me to take longer than I expected, but I hope soon to return them.0288

Sing to the Lord a new song : Memory, Music, Epistemology, and the Emergence of Gregorian Chant as Corporate Knowledge

Following the Christianization of the crumbling Roman Empire, a wide array of disparate Christian traditions arose. A confusion of liturgical rites and musical styles expressed the diversity of this nascent Christendom; however, it also exemplified a sometimes threatening disunity. Into this frame, the Carolingian Empire made a decisive choice. Charlemagne, with a desire to consolidate power, forged stronger bonds withRome by transporting the liturgy ofRome to the Frankish North. The outcome of this transmission was the birth of a composite form of music exhibiting the liturgical properties ofRome but also shaped by the musical sensibilities of the Franks—Gregorian chant. This Frankish project of liturgical adoption and the appearance of Gregorian chant raises two important questions: How did the Carolingians transmit and incorporate Roman chant, and why did they feel drawn to this tradition in the first place? This thesis utilizes musicological studies by scholars like Leo Treitler and Anna Maria Busse Burger, epistemological arguments by analytic philosopher Richard Fumerton, and memorial scholarship by Mary Carruthers and Maurice Halbwachs to provide an analysis of Gregorian chant’s emergence. My investigation into the medieval art of memoria reveals that chant was transmitted through the use of the principles of music theory as mnemonic devices. Modal theory itself becomes a mnemonic by creating an abstract musical location in which the singer and listener can meet. Further, the impulse that drove this project was the desire for a collective memory that would resolve underlying tensions of group identity within 8th- and 9th-century early Christendom. This desire finds its resolution in modal theory itself because the musical location of chant is also a public location where corporate identity is articulated. Finally, I interpret both musical and memorial functions of chant via epistemic scholarship, showing that they both exhibit a remarkable structural similarity to the principles of acquaintance epistemology, thus unifying the questions of “how” and “why” in chant into a single answer. The quest for self-knowledge becomes part of the particular object used to make it—a material testament to a way of knowing

Investigative empathy: a strength scale of empathy based on European police perspectives

A growing body of research suggests that empathy may play a major role in establishing and maintaining rapport during police interviews. The benefits of rapport include not only increased cooperation from interviewees, but also gaining more accurate investigation-relevant information. However, despite a large amount of research on empathy which already exists, there still is, unfortunately, no universally agreed-upon definition and very little research on operationalizing and implementing appropriate forms of empathy, especially within the realm of investigative interviewing. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the goal of better understanding empathy from a police perspective and developing a way to assess and operationalize empathy for use in police interviews with suspects of high risk crimes (particularly with sex offences). The study considers police interviewers’ varying definitions of empathy in seven European countries, along with other factors. It analyzed police interviewers’ self-reports regarding their (i) training and methods employed during interviews, (ii) application of empathy in interviews, and (iii) definitions/understanding of empathy. Based on their answers, the various definitions of empathy were compiled and then placed on a new strength scale. It was found that officers in all participating countries varied within each country in their use of accusatory or information-gathering interview styles, suggesting that the methods employed were not systematically and uniformly taught and/or applied. The majority of participants in each country claimed to currently employ empathy in their interviews with suspects, yet they varied on their strength of the definitions provided. In no country was empathy considered useless in interviews and in no country was empathy defined as having aspects that may not be conducive to investigative interviewing.N/A

Ask the Audience: Determining Organizational Identity of a State Extension Agency

This study explored organizational identity of one state extension agency to determine strategies for building future messaging in external branding materials. Thirty-nine focus groups were conducted to assess how internal audiences (employees and board members) perceive, feel, and think about the organization. Two of the 15 major themes found were 1) Extension is a link between the university and the people and 2) Extension provides research-based, credible information. Participants identified strongly with the vision statement and official slogan communicated by leaders prior to the study. The organization should build upon this identity when solidifying a brand image. Previous research indicates Extension should also proceed with caution regarding the themes of providing valuable services and information for low or no cost and not selling anything

Neutrons transition densities for the 2+−8+2^+-8^+ multiplet of states in 90^{90}Zr

The neutron transition densities of the $2^+-8^+$ levels in $^{90}$Zr were extracted in the process of analysing ({\bf p},p') scattering at 400 Mev. Its comparison with the proton transition densities for these levels was undertaken. The radial shapes of the experimental neutron and proton transition densities for each state were found to be different.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure

Totally Transparent: A Qualitative Study About the Impact of Farm Tours on Bloggers

Producers and agricultural organizations often struggle to effectively and efficiently communicate agricultural practices and values across the green divide. Additionally, producers and agricultural communication professionals must compete with inflammatory or misleading statements communicated to uninformed consumers via the blogosphere and rapidly disseminated on social media. Many organizations are beginning to implement agritourism events as a way of educating the consumer and influential bloggers. This study utilized semi-structured interviews to explore the perceptions, attitudes, and experiences of four bloggers who were invited to a three-day agritourism event. Results showed participants identified personal exposure to transparent farmers yielded an increase in knowledge and appreciation of farming practices that positively impacted their trust in the American farmer and food system. This study expands upon current research being conducted on agritourism events, transparency, and expectancy violations theory and suggests organizations structure agritourism events in such a way as to demonstrate transparency and positively violate the expectations bloggers may have regarding agricultural producers
