title: Association for Laboratory Phonology

abstract: The Association for Laboratory Phonology is a non-profit professional society for researchers interested in the sound structure of language. It was founded to promote the scientific study of all aspects of phonetics and phonology of oral and sign languages through scholarly exchange across disciplines and through the use of a hybrid methodology. The founding and honorary members are Amalia Arvaniti, Mary Beckman, Cathi Best, Catherine Browman, Jennifer S. Cole, Mariapaola D'Imperio, Louis M. Goldstein, José Ignacio Hualde, Patricia Keating, John Kingston, D.R. Ladd, Peter Ladefoged, Janet Pierrehumbert, Caroline Smith, Paul Warren, and Douglas Whalen. The Association is an international body open to scholars world-wide, and currently has over 100 members. Since the Association's inception, the methodologies of laboratory phonology are emerging as the dominant approach to the study of sound systems in universities in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and many other locations. In this way, the success of the approach promoted by the Association for Laboratory Phonology can be attributed to its interdisciplinary nature: bridging linguistics with psychology, computer science, etc., and defining the relationship between the cognitive and physical aspects of human speech as a question of cognitive science.

## Meetings

The biennial Conference on Laboratory Phonology (LabPhon) brings together researchers across the many relevant disciplines to present work on the phonological patterns and structures of natural languages. All oral paper sessions are plenary, and are organized to promote discussion across the disciplines. Each session groups together invited and submitted talks on a conference theme and ends with a talk by an invited discussant followed by an open discussion by the entire conference audience. Since the second conference in 1989, there have also been one or more poster sessions, which also are plenary. Conferences generally have between four and six themes, which are broadly defined in order to bring together speakers and commentators from different disciplines and theoretical backgrounds.

### Meeting Dates and Host Institutions

## Publications

The proceedings of the Conference on Laboratory Phonology were published as Papers in Laboratory Phonology by Cambridge University Press from 1991 (Vol 1) to 2004 (Vol 6). Beginning with Vol 7, the series was renamed to Laboratory Phonology and published by Mouton de Gruyter. After the publication of Laboratory Phonology 10 in 2010, the book series was replaced by the journal Laboratory Phonology. The first six volumes of the journal were published by Mouton de Gruyter, and then starting with volume 7 in 2016, the journal moved to Ubiquity Press, to become an online-only, open-access publication. The journal encompasses the scientific study of the elements of oral language, their organization, their grammatical function, and their role in speech communication. Research questions and some of the methods addressed in the publications also extend naturally to the parallel investigation of manual signs as the encoding elements of sign languages.

### Proceedings

* Papers in Laboratory Phonology Volume I: Between the Grammar and Physics of Speech
* Papers in Laboratory Phonology Volume II: Gesture, Segment, Prosody
* Papers in Laboratory Phonology Volume III: Phonological Structure and Phonetic Form

# 1949–50 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. season

The 1949–50 season saw Tottenham win the Second Division and gain promotion back to the First Division. Spurs also completed in the FA Cup and made it to the Fifth round only to be knocked out by Everton at Goodison Park.

This was Arthur Rowe's first season after being appointed Tottenham manager. He used the push-and-run system which provided much success with a 23-game unbeaten run.

title: Andrew Newman House

abstract: The Andrew Newman House is a historic house in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a central chimney and an entrance sheltered by an enclosed vestibule. Built in 1823, this single story wood-frame house is one of the oldest houses in the Cambridgeport area of the city. The house is also unusual for its construction date, since it is a Georgian style Cape house, as opposed to the then-prevalent Federal style. Its first owner was a ropemaker. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

## Finals

With just two rounds remaining, Newtown looked on track for the minor premiership until they lost to Eastern Suburbs and then Balmain in the two final rounds of the year. This left St. George to take the minor premiership, and with it, a guaranteed place in a final. This proved costly for Newtown, who were narrowly beaten by Canterbury-Bankstown in the semifinal eliminator, meaning they were out of the competition. St. George also lost their first round match, meaning they immediately got sent into the Grand final against the winner of a Balmain and Canterbury-Bankstown match, which Balmain won by a point.

In spite of St George’s status as minor premiers, Balmain were Grand Final favourites due to their comprehensive routing of the Dragons in the first semi-final. The decider, played on Saturday 14 September, was a closely fought contest.

A series of dubious decisions by referee George Bishop gave Balmain an advantage. There was a disallowed try to St George and two Balmain tries which came off what appeared to be forward passes, one when Balmain’s Joe Jorgenson scored after receiving a ball that seemed to have been propelled at least a yard forward.

The Dragons came close to victory when late in the game Jack Lindwall scored in the corner but his brother, prospective Test bowler, Ray Lindwall was unable to convert it. Lindwall in fact missed all four conversion attempts on the day.

The Tigers had won seven straight victories to take the premiership.

Tensions of the encounter overflowed after full-time, and at the conclusion of the match Saints forward, Jim Hale went toe to toe with Balmain hooker, Herb Gilbert, Jr, himself a former Dragon. Hale was then attacked by a spectator and an all-in brawl followed.

**Balmain** 13 (Tries: Jorgenson 2, Patton. Goals: Bourke 2 )

defeated

**St George** 12 (Tries: J Lindwall 2, Jones, Munn)

title: Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park

abstract: Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park is a state park of California in the United States. It is located in remote northeastern Shasta County and is only accessible to the public by boat. The park is 4 miles (6.4 km) in length and no more than 1 mile (1.6 km) wide, and has over 13 miles (21 km) of shoreline. It preserves a wilderness of freshwater springs and geologically recent lava flows. Waterways include the Fall River and associated creeks and lakes. The shoreline has blue bays and tree-studded islets along its length. Near the springs are the remains of fish traps built by Native Californian tribes such as the Achomawi, for whom the park is named. Low rock walls enclose shallow pools where they captured sucker and trout. About two thirds of the park's 5,930 acres (2,400 ha) is covered by jagged black basalt deposited in lava flows within the last two to five thousand years. The state of California acquired the land from private owners in 1975.

# Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park

**Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park** is a state park of California in the United States. It is located in remote northeastern Shasta County and is only accessible to the public by boat.

The park is 4 miles (6.4 km) in length and no more than 1 mile (1.6 km) wide, and has over 13 miles (21 km) of shoreline. It preserves a wilderness of freshwater springs and geologically recent lava flows. Waterways include the Fall River and associated creeks and lakes. The shoreline has blue bays and tree-studded islets along its length. Near the springs are the remains of fish traps built by Native Californian tribes such as the Achomawi, for whom the park is named. Low rock walls enclose shallow pools where they captured sucker and trout. About two thirds of the park's 5,930 acres (2,400 ha) is covered by jagged black basalt deposited in lava flows within the last two to five thousand years.

The state of California acquired the land from private owners in 1975.

## History

Pacific Gas & Electric owned large tracts of the local swampland. Much of the shoreline of the park is on Big Lake, which was created when levees and canals were installed. A muskrat farm was operated there until the 1930s. Muskrats can still be seen in the local marshes. The non-native species is notorious for altering wetland habitat, increasing the likelihood of floods.

## Visiting the park

There are no public roads leading to the park. Private motor vehicles are prohibited within. Visitors can launch boats into Big Lake at a Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) public boat launch known as Rat Farm.

There are three basic campsites. Visitors can traverse narrow waterways in canoes or kayaks. There are about 20 miles of hiking trails. Fishing is allowed but hunting is prohibited.

## Native Americans

The name of the park honors the Achomawi (also spelled *Ajumawi*, *Achumawi*, and *Ahjumawi*) whose name translates to "where the waters come together". The park is situated at the confluence of the Fall River, a tributary of the Pit River, with several smaller creeks and streams. The Achomawi are one of eleven bands of the Pit River Tribe of native peoples. These resident people tended the local waterways, monitoring spawning beds and limiting their catches to conserve populations of the fish they used for food. The Achomawi still live in the area.

## Natural history

The park sits on "one of the nation's largest systems of underwater springs." They produce some 1.2 billion US gallons (4.5×10~~^~~9 L) of fresh water per day into the aboveground waterways. Water in the springs originate as snowmelt from the Medicine Lake Volcano highlands.

The park is in an area where the Modoc Plateau transitions to a more coastal bioregion. The former region was formed by volcanic activity and has many associated geological features, such as lava tubes and craters that fill with spring water.

The local flora includes pines, ceanothus, western juniper, birchleaf and curlleaf mountain mahogany, and Garry oak. Birds in the area include Canada geese, snow geese, American white pelicans, blue-winged teal, Lewis's woodpeckers, northern pygmy owls, and ospreys. Other animals include black-tailed deer and coyotes.

# Akiira One Geothermal Power Station

The **Akiira One Geothermal Power Station**, is a proposed 70 MW (94,000 hp) geothermal power plant in Kenya, the largest economy in the East African Community.

## Location

The facility is located in the Greater Olkaria Geothermal Area, about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi), by road, south of the existing Olkaria I Geothermal Power Station, and approximately 127 kilometres (79 mi), northwest of Nairobi, Kenya's capital and largest city.

## Overview

Centum Investments, a Kenyan investment company, in conjunction with three other non-Kenyan entities, jointly plan to construct the Akiira Geothermal Power Station at a projected cost of US$300 million, using Akiira Geothermal Limited, the special-purpose company they jointly own. The power station will be developed in phases, with the first 70 megawatts coming on-line by December 2018 and the next 70 megawatts added to the national grid at a later date. In August 2015, Akiira Geothermal Limited signed a power purchase agreement with Kenya Power and Lighting Company, at a cost of 9.23 US cents per kilowatt hour.

## Ownership

Akiira One Geothermal Power Station is owned by Akiira Geothermal Limited, a Kenyan limited liability company owned by Centum Investment Company Limited and three other non-Kenyan companies. The shareholding in Akiira Geothermal Limited is as depicted in the table below:

|
|  |
Akiira Geothermal Limited Stock Ownership
| Rank | Name of Owner | Percentage Ownership |

| 3 | Marine Power of the USA |  |
| 4 | Frontier Investment Management ApS of Denmark |  |
|  | **Total** | **100.00** |
|

## Construction funding

The total construction bill is budgeted at US $300 million (KSh30 billion). Of that, 30 percent will be sourced from shareholders while the remaining 70 percent will be borrowed from Standard Bank. Akiira has already received a KSh86 million grant from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) in October 2014, as part of President Obama’s Power Africa programme. In January 2018, the European Investment Bank (EIB), offered to lend €155 million (KSh19.5 billion) on commercial terms, to fund the construction.

# Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

The **Association for Library Collections and Technical Services** (**ALCTS**) was a division of the American Library Association (ALA) dedicated to the areas of technical services (acquisitions, cataloging and classification, and continuing resources), collection management and development, and preservation and reformatting. ALCTS membership represented over forty countries and included librarians, library support staff, students of library and information science, and commercial vendors whose professional interests lay in these areas of practice. ALCTS met the needs of its members through educational programming, publications, professional development opportunities and information exchange. ALCTS also promoted and had significant input into the development of standards and best practices, including NISO standards and cataloging standards such as RDA.

ALCTS was dissolved in 2020 and merged into a new ALA division, Core.

## History and organizational structure

ALCTS (pronounced uh-lex) was one of several ALA divisions created in 1957, upon the merger of several ALA units related to technical services. The division was originally known as the Resources and Technical Services Division (RTSD). The original four sections of the division were Acquisitions, Cataloging and Classification, Copying Methods, and Serials. The most recent name of the division was the result of a 1989 division membership vote.

ALCTS consisted of five sections: Acquisitions; Cataloging and Metadata Management; Collection Management; Preservation and Reformatting; and Continuing Resources.

The Acquisitions (AS) and Collection Management (CMS) Sections emerged over time from the original AS. The Cataloging and Metadata Management Section (CaMMS) had the longest history, having begun as a section of ALA in 1900. The Preservation and Reformatting Section (PARS) was a result of a 1994 merger of the Reproduction of Library Materials Section (which started as the Copying Methods Section) and the Preservation of Library Materials Section (which was created in 1980). The Continuing Resources Section (CRS) started as a round table of ALA in 1929, and was renamed in 2007.

The work of these sections, as well as the entire division, was supported through regular committee meetings. ALCTS also made available to its sections online options for communication and collaboration, including discussion lists, online communities, and wikis.

These sections were joined by the Affiliate Relations Committee (ARC) which replaced the Council of Regional Groups (CRG) in 2011. The role of ARC was to maintain contact with groups similar to ALCTS that serve specific geographic regions, and they hosted an Affiliates Showcase at the ALA Annual conference.

## Publications

ALCTS created and maintained a wide variety of publications that provided guidelines and policies for the work of its constituents; served as educational resources, and kept the membership informed of current developments and trends with the division and the profession. The guidelines and policy documents were often used in an advisory role for technical services, collection development, and preservation decisions. The division also published a series of books (ALCTS Monographs). ALCTS published two serials – *ALCTS News*, which reports on the happenings of the division and the people within it; and *Library Resources and Technical Services* (LRTS), a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal.

## Programming

At the ALA Annual Conference, ALCTS sponsored programming both at the division level and through its sections. At the ALA Midwinter Meeting, ALCTS hosted a forum on a major topic of interest to its constituency. At both annual events, ALCTS sponsored symposia and preconference workshops that went in depth on specific concepts. Both events also featured interest groups (many of which were formerly discussion groups). The IGs were not official programs, but they allowed people working or interested in specific roles to gather for discussion and/or plan future programming. Outside of conferences, ALCTS also offered online educational opportunities and a series of online discussions via discussion groups.

ALCTS sponsored the annual Preservation Week program. ALA encourages libraries and other institutions to use Preservation Week to connect communities through events, activities, and resources that highlight what can be done, individually and together, to preserve personal and shared collections.

## Awards

Each year, ALCTS honored people in librarianship working in acquisitions, continuing resources, cataloging, collection development, and preservation through more than a dozen awards. Juries consisting mostly of ALCTS member volunteers (who were generally peers of potential recipients) selected recipients of these awards:

* Writing/Publishing: Edward Swanson Memorial Best of LRTS Award; Outstanding Publication Award
* Innovation: Outstanding Collaboration Citation; ProQuest Coutts Award for Innovation
* Personal Achievement: Ross Atkinson Lifetime Achievement Award; Hugh C. Atkinson Memorial Award; Paul Banks and Carolyn Harris Preservation Award; George Cunha and Susan Swartzburg Award; Esther J. Piercy Award; Margaret Mann Citation
* Leadership in Library Acquisitions Award (acquisitions); Ulrich’s Serials Librarianship Award (continuing resources); Presidential Citation (special service to ALCTS)
* Achievement for Newer Professionals: First Step Award
* For Professionals in Developing Countries: Online Course Grant

title: 1955 Toronto municipal election

text:
# 1955 Toronto municipal election

Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on December 5, 1955. Incumbent mayor Nathan Phillips, elected a year earlier, was easily reelected, defeating Controller Roy E. Belyea and Trotskyist Ross Dowson.

Two referendums were held with the elections. One, which passed, was to extend the municipal term to two years. Previously elections had been held every year. There was also a vote on funding a new Toronto City Hall, which was rejected by voters.

## Toronto mayor

Nathan Phillips was opposed for reelection after his first year in office by Board of Control member Roy E. Belyea, who had been a staunch opponent of Phillips during the year. Also running was Trotskyist Ross Dowson.

Results√ **Nathan Phillips** \- 70,647 Roy E. Belyea \- 26,717 Ross Dowson \- 2,374

## Plebiscites

Two questions appeared on the ballot. The first was on whether municipal terms of office should be extended to two years from one. The second was to authorize the construction of a proposed new city hall to replace the existing city hall, which had been built in 1899. The proposed structure, designed by a partnership of three leading Toronto architectural forms, would have been a conservative, symmetrical limestone-clad building in the Modernist style facing a landscaped square, and was widely criticized as "drab and boxy".

Two-year term For - 48,024 Against - 33,688

Two-year terms would be put in place effective the 1956 Toronto municipal election.

New City Hall For - 28,449 Against - 32,564

As a result of the rejection of the proposed structure, city council decided, in 1956, to hold an \[international architectural design competition to find a better design. A proposal by Finnish architect Viljo Revell would be accepted. Construction of New City Hall began in 1961, and the building was officially opened on 13 September 1965.

## Board of Control

There were two vacancies on the Board of Control after Roy E. Belyea's decision to run for mayor and Controller David Balfour's decision to retire. The most senior two Controllers in terms of votes also sat on Metro Toronto Council.
