From Bohemian To Bourgeois: American Batik In The Early Twentieth Century, Nicola J. Shilliam

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

In 1919 Pieter Mijer wrote in his influential book Batiks and How to Make Them, "Batik is still a comparatively recent importation; brought here some ten years ago, it was met with absolute incomprehension and lack of interest, but its real merit as a means of decorating fabrics has earned it a place in the industrial art of the nation and year by year it is gaining wider recognition."

This paper briefly considers the rise and fall in popularity of batik in America in the period Mijer indicated: how it changed from being a foreign import chiefly seen in …

Recognition, Investigation, And Control Of Communicable-Disease Outbreaks In Child Day-Care Settings, Jeffrey P. Davis, William R. Mackenzie, David G. Addiss

United States Public Health Resources

As increasing numbers of young children attend day-care centers in the US, the elevated risk of acquiring infectious diseases in this setting has emerged as an important public health issue.¹ Outbreaks of infectious diseases occur frequently within the daycare setting,² and enteric and respiratory pathogens may be readily transmitted to household members and others in the community.^1,2 The economic burden of these outbreaks is considerable; for example, parents of children in day care miss an average of I to 4 weeks of work each year to care for their sick children.¹ Investigations of communicable-disease outbreaks in …

The Transformation Of Men Into Masquerades And Indian Madras Into Masquerade Cloth In Buguma, Nigeria, Elisha P. Renne, Joanne B. Eicher

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

The Kalahari Ijo people of the Niger Delta area of southeastern Nigeria use a group of dark indigo-blue cloths with white patterning to cover the faces of masquerade performers. Subsumed under the name of alubite (masquerade cloth) are at least three distinct types: (1) ukara cloth, an indigo-resist of imported muslin, stitched and dyed by Igbo craftsmen, (2) alubite cloth, a gauze-weave, also an indigo-resist, but of unknown provenance, and (3) pelete bite, an Indian madras from which threads are cut and pulled by Kalahari women to form a new pattern.

The first two types of cloth apparently come …

New Twist On Shibori: How An Old Tradition Survives In The New World When Japanese Wooden Poles Are Replaced By American Pvc Pipes, Yoshiko Iwamoto Wada

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

The subject of my talk is arashi shibori or pole wrap resist Although at times it is hard to recognize some arashi effects as such, technically arashi shibori is one of many forms of tie-dye. After thirty years of its exploration through art-to-wear, dyed and painted tapestries, three dimensional sculptures, and mixed media in the United States, various forms of tie-dye have now become part of the lexicon of American fabric design and fiberarts vocabulary.

On the one hand, there has been much effort by textile specialists to circumvent the term "tie-dye," due to its association with the Grateful Dead, …

Magpies, Thomas C. Hall

Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage Handbook

Magpies (Pica pica and P. nuttalli) have lived in close association with humans for centuries. Magpies are found in western North America. Magpies are associated with the dry, cool climatic regions of North America. Magpies are omnivorous and very opportunistic, a characteristic typical of other corvids. Magpies, like other corvids, are intelligent birds. Magpies have come into conflict with humans in North America for quite some time. Magpies are protected as migratory nongame birds under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

Review Of Eyewitness At Wounded Knee., Susan A. Miller

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

What happened at Wounded Knee Creek on 29 December 1890, was not a battle but a massacre by soldiers of the families comprising Big Foot's band of Minneconjou Lakotas. Surrounded, desperately outnumbered and outgunned, provoked into a hopeless firefight, they ran and were slaughtered to the tiniest infant by mounted soldiers who hunted them for "several hours" (p. 19) and some three miles. About three hundred Lakotas were killed. Because Bigfoot's men had engaged the soldiers, the atrocity has been masked as a battle. Indeed, twenty-eight soldiers received medals of honor for participating in the massacre and associated activities.

Review Of La Frontiera Del Grana (1896-1918): L'Ovest Nella Storia Canadese., Walter Centuori

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Since 1976, Valeria Gennaro Lerda has been a professor of American and Canadian history at the University of Genova, Italy. She is the author of a number of studies, has spent a great deal oftime as a researcher in the United States and Canada, and is currently on the Editorial Board of the Canadian Studies Review and Vice President of the Italian Association for North American Studies.

Review Of A Whirlwind Passes: News Correspondents And The Sioux Indian Disturbances Of 1890-1891, Todd Kerstetter

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Newspapers played a key role in disseminating information and, unfortunately, misinformation about the Ghost Dance among the Lakotas. They also contributed to tension between the United States and the Lakotas that resulted in the grisly massacre at Wounded Knee. George R. Kolbenschlag's A Whirlwind Passes: News Correspondents and the Sioux Indian Disturbances of 1890-1891 sheds light on the men and women responsible for reporting on the Ghost Dance and the Wounded Knee Massacre and lends understanding to the nature of the reporters' activities.

The Role Of Mediation In The Usda, Chester A. Bailey

Nebraska Law Review

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified State Mediation Program has restored failed communications between numerous farmers and lenders and assisted many economically stressed farm families to stay in business. The Farmers Home Administration (FmHA), an agency of the USDA, has certified and provided matching grants to state mediation programs. These state mediation programs are operated primarily by state universities and state departments of agriculture. The USDA mediation programs have allowed farm borrowers and their creditors to work out joint solutions, avoiding human suffering and the costly and time-consuming processes of administrative appeal, foreclosure, and litigation.

Faculty Perceptions Of Undergraduate Teaching, Deborah Olsen, Ada B. Simmons

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

The purpose of this study was to construct an accurate depiction of the undergraduate teaching portion of the faculty role at a large, public research university, drawing from interviews conducted with 114 faculty. The interview schedule investigated teaching load, course goals, perceptions of undergraduate students, modes of evaluating student learning, office hours and advising, professional role interests and time allocation, feedback about teaching performance, strategies for improving teaching, and satisfaction with teaching. The findings of the current study reveal that faculty are highly committed to undergraduate teaching and are profoundly concerned with students' intellectual development. Results also suggest how complex …

The Game Of Academic Ethics: The Partnering Of A Board Game, Stephen E. Sugar, Carol A. Willett

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

A developer of classroom games agrees to a challenging assignment: to develop a classroom board game on the topic of academic ethics. This paper describes how, in partnership with a content expert, he successfully developed and piloted the game for adjunct faculty at the University of Maryland, University College. The two developers, cited as game writer and content expert, work through a variety of design, substance and logistical obstacles to ultimately pilot the game, A Question of Academic Ethics.

Fecundity And Fertility Of Rhynchophorus Cruentatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), Thomas J. Weissling, Robin M. Giblin-Davis

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

The palmetto weevil (R. cruentatus F.) breeds in a variety of stressed or dying palms (Giblin-Davis & Howard 1988, 1989). These large (1.9 - 3.0 cm long) weevils are associated with the native cabbage palmetto, Sabal palmetto (Walter), in Florida (Woodruff 1967). Semiochemicals emanating from stressed or dying palms and male conspecifics (Weissling et al. 1992, 1993, 1994, Giblin-Davis et al. 1994) are attractive to R. cruentatus adults. Although not fully understood, mating apparently takes place on dying palms and females lay their eggs in the leaf bases or directly into the wounds of the host. Larvae develop primarily …

Ec94-135 Understanding Pesticides And Water Quality In Nebraska, Steven D. Comfort, Patrick J. Shea, Fred W. Roeth

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Groundwater is Nebraska's most important natural resource. The principal source of groundwater in Nebraska is the High Plains Aquifer System. This system underlies approximately 85 percent of the state and supplies 95 percent of all groundwater used in Nebraska. The majority of groundwater in Nebraska is used by agriculture but domestic and commercial uses are also important. Eighty-two percent of Nebraskans use groundwater as their major source of drinking water, and nearly all of the state's farm homes rely on groundwater for their domestic needs.

Bats (Myotis Lucifugus), Arthur M. Greenhall, Stephen C. Frantz

Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage Handbook

Despite their ecological value, bats (Myotis lucifugus) are relentlessly and unjustifiably persecuted. Bats, the only mammals that truly fly, belong to the order Chiroptera. Bats in North America are virtually all insectivorous, feeding on a variety of flying insects (exceptions among house bats were noted previously). Most North American bats emit high frequency sounds (ultrasound) inaudible to humans and similar to sonar, in order to avoid obstacles, locate and capture insect prey, and to communicate. Bats often fly about swimming pools, from which they drink or catch insects. Bats use roosting niches that are indoors (human dwellings, outbuildings, …

Deer, Scott R. Craven, Scott E. Hygnstrom

Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage Handbook

Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are probably the most widely distributed and best-recognized large mammals in North America. Deer are even-toed ungulates of the family Cervidae. The white-tailed deer is found in every state in the United States except perhaps Alaska and Utah. Deer are creatures of the forest edge rather than the dense, old-growth forest. Browse (leaves, stems, and buds of woody plants) is generally available all year and is a staple food for deer. Breeding occurs from October to January depending on latitude. Deer damage a wide variety of row crops, forage crops, vegetables, fruit trees, nursery stock, …

Swallows, W. Paul Gorenzel, Terrell P. Salmon

Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage Handbook

Eight members of the swallow family Hirundinidae breed in North America: the tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor), violet-green swallow (T. thalassina), purple martin (Progne subis), bank swallow (Riparia riparia), northern rough-winged swallow (Stelgidopteryx serripennis), barn swallow (Hirundo rustica), cave swallow (Hirundo fulva), and the cliff swallow (H. pyrrhonota). Cliff and barn swallows are found throughout most of North America. Four basic conditions are found near most cliff and barn swallow nest sites: (1) an open habitat for foraging, (2) a suitable surface for …

Research And Extension Needs For Integrated Pest Management For Arthropods Of Veterinary Importance, Christopher J. Geden, Jerome Hogsette

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

In April, 1994, a workshop was held in Lincoln, Nebraska, to update the IPM document that resulted from a similar workshop in Manhattan, Kansas, in 1979 (Anonymous 1979). The workshop was initiated by Dr. Ralph A. Bram, USDA National Program Leader, and organized by Drs. Gustav D. Thomas, USDA-ARS, Lincoln, and John B. Campbell, University of Nebraska, North Platte. Participants were charged with assessing the current status of IPM programs for pests of veterinary importance, identifying needs for program improvements, and recommending future research and extension priorities. Participants, invited from federal and state government research and extension organizations, and the …

Dual Diffusion: Analysis And Implications For Sales Force Management, Madhavan Parthasarathy, Ravipreet S. Sohi, Ronald D. Hampton

Department of Marketing: Faculty Publications

Retail resistance to an innovation can hamper its supply to consumers, thereby influencing product adoption behavior. Given this, a dual diffusion process consisting of both retail and consumer adoption is more appropriate in today's dynamic marketplace. Sales emphasis by manufacturers can strongly influence retail and consumer adoption behaviors, which would be reflected in the shapes of their respective patterns. In this paper, the authors examine the nature of retail adoption and its impact, both positive and negative, on consumer adoption. Following this, they present a strategic framework that lays out the sales management implications of the dual diffusion process.

Charmingly Quaint And Still Modern: The Paradox Of Colonial Revival Needlework In America, 1875–1940, Beverly Gordon

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

Despite the self-conscious modernism of the early 20th century, American needlework was filled with images of flower baskets, cozy cottages, spinning wheels, and women in hoopskirts. It was dominated by seemingly old-fashioned and "quaint" techniques, such as cross stitch, patchwork, crewel, and rug hooking. In an era with teeming cities, radio, and cars pouring off the assembly line, needlework came to stand for a romanticized, seemingly simpler and nobler American past. And in an era when women were winning the vote and re-entering the professional work force, needleworkers, in turn, became identified with the domestic homebody of the past. In …
