Homer, Lady Day and Elvis: The Postmodern Poetics of the Centers
One of the most common reactions people have when they visit the William
Paterson University Writing Center is to comment upon the décor. Who puts
up all these weird postcards? Why are characters from The Simpsons all over
the place? What is up with all the gorillas? Who takes care of the plants? And
who, pray tell, is obsessed with Elvis? He seems to be everywhere around here,
along with Groucho Marx, John Lennon, Charlie Parker, Billy Holiday, and Bob
Marley.University Writing Cente
Rationalism and Empiricism in Modern Medicine
The roots of rationalism and empiricism in the Hippocratic tradition are explored. The triumph of the rationalists in the founding of modern medicine is emphasized. The development of clinical epidemiology and the evidence-based medicine over the last 30 years is described. The tension illuminates fundamental clinical and policy questions that doctors, the health care system, and the legal system confront today
General aviation's meteorological requirements
Communication of weather theory and information about weather service products to pilots in an accurate and comprehensible manner is essential to flying safety in general. Probably no one needs weather knowledge more than the people who fly through it. The specific subject of this overview is General Aviation's Meteorological Requirements
Rural Autochthony? The Rejection of an Aboriginal Placename in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia
This article addresses the question of why the name ‘Mullawallah’, advanced by local Wada wurrung for a new suburb in the Ballarat area, was contested and rejected by residents. It argues that the intersection between corporate profit, government policy and meaning-based issues of belonging should be highlighted for a deeper understanding of practices around place naming. The contextual conditions regarding the democratisation of place-naming policy, overwhelming power of commercial developers to ‘name Australia’ with marketable high status names and a ‘carpentered’ pastoral environment ‘emptied’ of the Indigenous population, created an environment conducive for the contests over naming. The Indigenous people appeared to have been wiped from the landscape and the worldview of settler locals. Concepts of ‘locals’ and ‘rural autochthony’ prove useful for understanding the ambiguities of belonging and placename attachment in Australia. The article argues that cultural politics of naming remains a contested social practice
Level raising and completed cohomology
We describe an application of Poincar\'e duality for completed homology
spaces (as defined by Emerton) to level raising for p-adic modular forms. This
allows us to give a new description of the image of Chenevier's p-adic
Jacquet-Langlands map between an eigencurve for a definite quaternion algebra
and an eigencurve for GL(2). The points on the eigencurve at which we "raise
the level" are (non-smooth) points of intersection between an "old" and a "new"
component.Comment: 7 pages. Some small changes and reference update
