Grammar Jam: Adding a Creative Editing Tactic

The author argues reading, hearing, and then composing musical lyrics involving grammatical concerns can help college writing students to edit more effectively for a song\u27s grammar topic. Explaining that the songs need to offer specific advice, such as how to both spot and correct the grammatical problem, the writer offers lyrical examples and provides scholarly evidence for this approach. The essay explains what Grammar Jam is, why music can work, and how to use the tactic in the classroom

Two seventeenth-century translations of two dark Roman satires: John Knyvett’s <i>Juvenal 1</i> and J.H.’s <i>In Eutropium 1</i>

This article consists of a transcription of the texts of two previously unprinted seventeenth-century verse translations, with accompanying editorial matter. John Knyvett's dates to 1639, at which time Knyvett, whose Juvenal was known to Sir Thomas Browne but has since disappeared from view, was an undergraduate at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. J.H.’s of 1664 is also a very early English version of his chosen author, and remains the only English attempt on In Eutropium in verse to this day. The two translations are not otherwise connected

The derived category with respect to a generator

Consider a Grothendieck category $\mathcal{G}$ along with a choice of generator $G$, or equivalently a generating set $\{G_i\}$. We introduce the derived category $\mathcal{D}(G)$, which kills all $G$-acyclic complexes, by putting a suitable model structure on the category of chain complexes. It follows that the category $\mathcal{D}(G)$ is always a well-generated triangulated category. It is compactly generated whenever the generating set $\{G_i\}$ has each $G_i$ finitely presented, and in this case we show that two recollement situations hold. The first is when passing from the homotopy category $K(\mathcal{G})$ to $\mathcal{D}(G)$. The second is a $G$-derived analog to the recollement of Krause. We illustrate with several examples ranging from pure and clean derived categories to quasi-coherent sheaves on the projective line $P^1(k)$

Science, values and people: The three factors that will define that next generation of international conservation agreements

This brief paper is concerned with three emerging issues that will, individually and collectively, define the way in which international conservation law moves forward in the coming decades. This paper is not focused upon the large-scale policy gaps in this area, such as those relating to conservation on the high seas, compliance deficits or emerging environmental threats such as nutrient pollution. Rather, it seeks to draw out three issues which run through all conservation agreements. The three issues are those related to the use of science to frame regimes; the use of philosophy to examine the values of what is trying to be achieved; and the use of politics to ensure that local communities are linked to conservation efforts. Consideration of each of these three areas is relatively recent, with none of them being at the forefront of conservation considerations of international importance in the past. In the future, this is likely to change
