Dry as a Cuckoo: The Changing Perceptions on Erik Satie

No one is entirely sure how to classify this unique composer, though all seem to agree on one point. He was indeed eccentric. Born Eric-Alfred Leslie Satie in Honfleur, France on May 17, 1866, he has become known for his influence on the impressionist and avant-garde movements of the early 20th century. While his early compositions, including the Gymnopedies and Sarabandes, were praised for their influence on composers such as Debussy and Ravel, Satie achieved no commercial success during his lifetime, and eventually died in poverty. In modern times, he is lauded for his contributions, considered almost a father to two separate movements, yet many of his contemporaries barely acknowledged him during his life. Often considered a humorist and a poseur rather than a musician, Pierre-Daniel Templier’s biography claims he was both “…the greatest musician in the world and [also] vilified as an untalented provocateur.” In this reception analysis, I will be analyzing newspaper reviews of Satie and his music from both the early 1900s as well as reviews from long after his death. I will focus primarily on British and U.S. newspapers in order to analyze how he was received outside of France during his lifetime as well as how he is received today. When did opinion of him shift from mostly negative criticism to praise and why? While I will look at many performance reviews and articles from both time periods, as well as the contexts surrounding his reception, I will primarily be focusing on his collaborative 1917 ballet, “Parade.” While he continually seems to fly under the radar, no one can argue that Satie’s music had an impact on the world. What that impact was and how it developed will be a primary focus of this study

The Tapeworms of the Rhinoceroses, a Study Based on Material from the Belgian Congo

During the course of my study on the parasitic worms collected by the Lang-Chapin expedition of the American Museum to the Belgian Congo, I have had the good fortune to examine abundant material of Plagiotaenia gigantea (Peters). This interesting species, the first reported from the rhinoceros, has been confused with other cestodes from rhinoceros hosts, has been assigned to no less than three different genera in addition to the genus Taenia, to which it was originally referred, and has been the source of much discussion and difference of opinion during the past seventy years. A review of the literature on the tapeworms of rhinoceroses shows that Plagiotania gigantea is very imperfectly known, that many of the descriptions are brief and indefinite, and that the whole question of the rhinoceros cestodes is clouded in uncertainty and confusion. For that reason a more complete description of the original species is especially desirable. Such information aids materially in the elucidation of the difficult problem concerning the specificity and relationships of the rhinoceros tapeworms. The largest cestodes in the Congo Collection were those from the white rhinoceros, Cerathotherium simum cottoni. This material consisted of several hundred specimens which agrees completely with Peters\u27 (1856) description of Plagiotxenia gigantea from Rhinoceros africanus (Diceros bicornis) that I assign them to that species

Trematodes from the Rat

Occasional examinations of rats for animal parasites have been carried on for over a hundred years. Later, knowledge of the importance of rats as reservoirs of infection and as agents in the transfer of parasitic diseases has led to the regular and careful examination of large numbers in various parts of the world. Among the more recent publications dealing with the parasites of rats may be mentioned Shipley (1908), Moll (1917), Chandler (1921), Balfour (1922), Baylis (1922), Stevenson (1922), Hegner (1923), and Lavier (1924). Notwithstanding the many investigations, only a single trematode parasite has previously been discovered and concerning it so little is known that its identity is questioned. The first record, that of Dujardin (1845), contains a brief description of the parasite which he named Distorna spicutator. Six specimens were found in the small intestine of Rattus norvegicus taken at Rennes, France, but they were not sexually mature and the author suggested that they might be identical with D. trigonocephalum Rudolphi, a species previously reported from the badger, polecat, hedgehog, weasel, and martin. The form described by Rudolphi has been studied by several investigators and is a well-established species. Cobbold (1860) transferred both D. trigonocephatum and D. spiculator to the genus Echinostoma. I). Irigonocephalum had been shown to be synonymous with P. metis Schrank, and Lühe (1909) erected the genus Isthmiophora to contain it. Referring to the trematode from the rat, Lühe says it has been found only twice and he ineluded it as Echinostoma spiculator sp. inq.; very similar if not identical with Isthmiophora melis. Odhner (1910) discredited the genus Isthmiophora and transferred the species E. trigonocephalum to the genus Euparyphium Dietz. During the past year the junior author has been engaged in the parasitological examination of rats from New York City. On November 1, 1923, he discovered in mucosal scrapings from the jejunum of one specimen of R. norvegicus a large number of very small trematodes. This rat, together with sixteen others, was caught near the Clason Point dump on the water front

Uncharted WATERS: Sustaining a Meaningful Student Teaching Experience Amidst a Global Pandemic via an Online STEM Curriculum

Field experience is the culminating experience for pre-service teacher training. As COVID-19 closed schools across the country, pre-service teachers’ field experiences were disrupted. This case study examines how a student teacher, a team of mentor teachers, and a university supervisor at a regional public university adapted to remote learning. The findings suggest that there were gains and losses in terms of the pre-service teachers’ ability to develop essential skills; classroom management skills suffered while formative assessment practices, innovative lesson delivery, and reflection on instruction were enhanced. The transition to remote learning also caused the way student teachers’ skills were valued, as well as the effectiveness of their teaching, to change. How future teachers are prepared will need to be altered. Going forward, all teachers will need the skills to reach students in a variety of environments including face-to-face, remotely, and hybrid models

Educational Experiences of Emancipated Foster Youth: An Exploratory Study

The data obtained in this qualitative study focused on the educational experiences of youth formerly in foster care after graduation from high school from the viewpoint of the youth. Data were gathered from interviews from 10 participants. Themes included: (a) How do youth emancipated from foster care perceive their educational experiences? (b) What could teachers have done differently to assist the foster youth when he/she first arrived in the classroom or when he/she was moving to another placement? (c) What did teacher do to help the foster youth feel welcomed and part of the classroom community? Interviews were conducted and used predetermined questions. The answers were recorded and transcribed. The transcripts were evaluated for themes. The themes included: a) There were supportive adults in the lives of the participants, which included school staff or a foster parent. b) The effect of school behaviors, both positive and negative, and the relationship of those behaviors to placement stability. c) Feelings about school experiences including a feeling of normalcy and the inability to feel successful. d) School staff\u27s knowledge of a participant while placed in foster care, which included knowledge of and no knowledge of being a foster child. e) The impact of classroom teachers was evident including easy or difficult transitions into the classroom. f) Participating in the study to help children in foster care consider their educational process with subcategories including positive aspects of foster care, self-advocacy, communication, transition services, and ameliorating negative feelings. The results for this study included the perceptions of the former youth in foster care about his/her educational experiences. The results of the study demonstrated the need to fill the gap in the current literature about the experience of youth in foster care and provide a basis for further investigations related to the schools, social work agencies, caseworkers, and foster families can support youth in foster care in promoting positive outcomes in their educational experiences
