Collaboration in Musical Theatre Writing

Good musical theatre writing is generally assessed by how intentional it is in telling its story. Since it is a very difficult thing to tell a story using music, writers must exercise extreme caution in allowing a story to unfold in an effective, economic way. Recently, there has been a trend in theatre for projects to be developed in a way that utilizes less time of writers sitting alone in a room, and more of material being developed on its feet. Devised theatre, as it is often called, is anathema to the traditional practices of musical theatre writing. The results of this project, the music and lyrics for a modern adaptation of Aristophanes\u27 Lysistrata, shed light on musical theatre writing and its relationship to collaboration. Though the songs that were generated as a result of Lysistrata were often fraught with errors in terms of structure, rhyme, and meter, the artistic ambition contained in the songs was at least slightly commendable. If devising has a place in musical theatre writing, it is as a method of generating new material, not as a way of refining material with high standards

A Master Plan and Prototype Condominium for Taos Ski Valley

With the tremendous technological advances we have experienced in recent years, and shall continue to experience, one will find the working individual\u27s week shortened to thirty, even twenty, hours. Machines will be responsible for a vast amount of labor currently conducted by men. Accompanying this decrease in working hours will be a high correlation of leisure time, much of which will be spent in recreation. At present, facilities in all areas of recreation are highly limited. In the future, a large portion of man\u27s energy will be directed toward provision of adequate facilities in keeping with his role of leisure and toward directing his excess hours to a healthy outlet

Conducting Research in Irish Prisons: A Review

Research has shown the potential of using the accounts of offenders as a first hand data source (Canter and Ioannou, 2004; Synnott, Canter, Youngs and Ioannou, 2015). Although a a large body of literature relating to incarcerated offenders exists, very few publications document or provide guidance concerning the challenges and strategies for researchers conducting studies within prisons (Apa et al., 2012). The aim of this article is to outline the processes involved in carrying out research interviews in prisons. For the purpose of this article the Irish Prison Service (IPS) protocol will be used as an example

The logic theory machine as a theory of human problem-solving

In 1956 A. Newell and H.A. Simon (with the aid of J.C. Shaw) published the first paper on the Logic Theory Machine (L.T.). In effect, L.T. was a computer program that proved theorems in propositional logic

Mechanisms of Zika virus infection and neuropathogenesis

A spotlight has been focused on the mosquito-borne Zika virus (ZIKV) because of its epidemic outbreak in Brazil and Latin America, as well as the severe neurological manifestations of microcephaly and Guillain–Barré syndrome associated with infection. In this review, we discuss the recent literature on ZIKV-host interactions, including new mechanistic insight concerning the basis of ZIKV-induced neuropathogenesis

Diamonds down your sofa

Every RPO has or should have an institutional repository. As a showcase for what you do especially outputs that are not suitable for publication, they are hard to beat but how many of us extract the full value from them? How many of us treat them as electronic warehouses and never look at them again? In short, how many of us have no idea of how much really know? Repositories store so much more than just full-text articles, they are used to catalogue everything from artworks to zoom logs and everything in between and that breadth represents hidden but real actionable intelligence for strategy and planning. We will present our experience in TU Dublin as we use our repository, alongside all the other sources to plan our new research ecosystem

Open Research: From Thought to Deed

Openness as a concept in scholarly communication is gaining increased traction with more and more universities and research institutes adopting the concept. But is it just a concept or even worst an aspiration? Open is difficult both politically and in practical terms and how many institutions actually move into the action and implementation phase? TU Dublin has achieved considerable success with open access to publications using the institutional repository Arrow@TUDublin. However, now we want to move into the implementation phase and become an open research university. Simultaneously we are involved with a project for the European University of Technology to initiate a similar process. This paper will discuss in practical terms the steps involved in implementing open research in a single institution and in a network of universities aligning with national and European policies and infrastructures. The challenges, cultural ethos and successes will be examined with a view to highlighting what works and what does not work. Ultimately, we will attempt to answer the question is Open practical
