Show moreLetter from George S. Ffinden concerning the musical services. Sent from Blessington House, Lee. [noted: Easter Tuesday]. Unsigned letter Transcription: "Blessington House Lee Easter Tuesday Dear Ffinden, I hope we may meet again in a day or two, but we may not get a quite chat and also I prefer to write about a notion which has occurred to me, before I can be supposed to have had any conversation with others about our service on Sunday. I came straight away after luncheon in time for [] at St Stephen's and had not a word with any of the []. My question is of the musical service. I had it before me many years ago, and deci- ded against attempting it when some of the most valued members were inclinced to introduce it. My reasons were 1st - that I did not think that the poor and ill instructed portion would enter with and be improved by a musical service, however good, but would rather be repelled, and that to them the greatest con0 sideration should be shown by the stronger brethren- 2nd - That I could not make it good enough to be attractive to cultivated minds. I like such a service with a good trained surpliced choir, but that I could not get at Downe I quite object to a mixed choir of females and my [] want of high musical power made me un- able to say the Priest's part with sufficient accuracy- These were my considerations. [], and I took some pain to ask about; wishing in a mat -ter where no principle was involved to do what was most equable. I have, no hesitation in saying that if I were myself a lay Churchman in Downe I should prefer that the prayers were said, rather than sung even at the best that practice can attain with the materials- If I may venture to [], it would be that you should this week take as many of your regular attendants [] and [] as you can with consultation, say that the sung service is an experiment, to begone on with or not as is considered best, and then act accordingly. It would be easy and graceful to do this [] but [] easy, if in a short time an objection on any grounds should come from below. I hope you will take this in as friendly a spirit as I mean it."

Show moreLetter to Lemperly on "Leonainie", a poem believed to have been written by Edgar Allan Poe and later attributed to James Whitcomb Riley. Wallace believed it to be Poe's work, claiming Riley had altered the original slightly and then included it in his collected works as his own. Transcription: "Broadstone, Dorset. March 28th. 1904 Paul [Lemforly?] Esq. Dear Sir I must apologize for delaying so long in replying to [your] of Feb. 22nd., but I hae been so much engaged with various work - especially with the "Leonainie" affair - that I have hardly found time to do so. Your letter + enclosures arrived most opportunely, as you will see by my long letter in the April issue of the "Fortnightly Review", which I think shows that there is still some mystery about the affair which M. Riley has not cleared up. And as this communication of mine will probably bring me still further correspondence, raising perhaps new issues, I venture to keep the long "[]" with Riley in the "Indianapolis []", a little longer, in case I have to refer again to what is given as Riley's own words, + which were presumably passed by him as such. The difficulty to me is, that, two versions of this poem being in existence in America, the one issued by the alleged composer is not only inferior to the other, but contains such incongruities and verbal errors as to seem to show that he did not realise the meaning of the poem, or appreciate its musical rhythm, as a whole. Unless Riley wrote the poem under the spiritual influence of Poe - in an access of inspiration which has never recurred - (which I think quite possible) and then in his normal state altered + spoilt it, I cannot conceive his being the author of it, and treating it afterwards so lightly as he has done. I trust that my communication may lead to the discovery of where my brother copied his version from, + how there came to be such a better version in existence (unknown to Riley!) Mr. Charles F. Richardson, to whom I wrote for information as one of Poe's editors, says, that my version of it is "unquestionably preferable", but he things all the differences "might readily be made by a copyist"! I do not. He also thinks it is "not even one of the better parodies of Poe" - and here again I differ from him. It is stated here in the [spectator?] that the "Chicago Tribune" has recently said, that - W.C.Bryant was one who believed it to be by Poe. Have you got cuttings from the papers at the time of the hoax? Or a list of the known writers + critics who believed it to be Poe's, independently of the actual writing? The criticisms for + against, at the time, would be now most interesting. You will see I have tried to do full justice to Riley as a poet, but I do not think he could have written "[Leonainie?]." As you, no doubt have all his published works, can you send me a copy of any one short poem that has the same exquisite musical [] as "[Leonainie?]"? Believe me Yours very trule Alfred R Wallace ---- The very imaginative exaggeration of Leonainie are against it being a mere imitation and also its originality. Paul Lemperly Cleveland Ohio U.S.A." Letter, signed by sender. Sent from Broadstone, Dorset. Envelope included.

Show moreLetter to Robert Stecher, answering questions about Charles Darwin's health. Transcription: "BY AIR MAIL Par Avion Air Letter Aerogramme Dr. Robert M. Stecher Metropolitan general Hospital 3395 Scranton Rd. Cleveland Ohio USA Sender's name and address: N. Barlow Boswells, Wendover An air letter should not contain any enclosure; if it does it will be surcharge or sent by ordinary mail. Boswells, Wendover March 18, 1960 Dear Dr. Stecher, I was delighted to hear from you after all these years, and to know of your further [filter] activities. This will only be an interim letter to answer the immediate questions which do not need further enquiry. I am so glad your interest seems as keen as ever in all these matters, and I wonder whether you have kept abreast of the spate of literature about C.D. on both sides of the Atlantic in these centenary years?= Eisely, Himmelfarb, Gavin de Beer + the rest. I will take the questions in order. Starting with 1); I shall have no objection to your quoting my letter to you of 1948, if, as I hope, you get your discourse of of March 3rd this year printed. I look forward to reading what you said in your discourse, + hope your "confessions" met with approval + were a great success. 2); Baldness. I remember no suggestion that my grandmother was bald-I do not think that her cap was to conceal this; but merely the fashion of the day. She did have a very high forehead, as is shown in all photographs of her. 3.) Health. I have just received a letter from Dr. Alvarez + his recent study of Darwin's health, + I expect you have also. I still think it rather inconclusive to harp on the inheritance of "bad genes" from both sides, though I agree that the illness was probably largely psycho-somatic. His childrens' peculiarities did not prevent them from living active full lives, except in the case of Aunt Etts, Mrs Litchfield. But in the question of C.D.'s health, a new suggestion has cropped up, which I like to think may be true, to remove C.D from these constant speculations of psychic disorder.)See Lancets, 1943, i. p.129; 1953, ii, p 1351; 1954, i, pp. 106, 414,467. Horizon LXXX, 1946, p.74. Biology of Human Affairs, Oct 1954, refers to these matters by Hubble, Good + myself.) The new suggestion comes from Dr. Adle, OBE, FRCP, FRS, Hebrew-university, Israel, who recently visited D. America, + was impressed by the similarity of the symptoms of the chronic Chagas disease intestans, with C.D's illnesses. The de- scription CD gives of allowing the bug of [Meadgar?] to bite him, was in March 1835, + therefore, unless he had been previously infected, this rules out the Chagas disease accounting for the first serious illness in S. America in 1834. You will find an account of this in Nature Autumn 1959, but I can't lay my hands on the exact reference-Unfortunately one date is given wrongly.* The further questions I am pursuing are A) The origin of the unidentified cartoong; + B) the whereabout of the certificate of CD's hon. membership to the Imperial Society of Naturalists of Moscow, 1870. I will write again if I can gain any information on these points. With all Good wishes yours sincerely Nora Barlow *This will be under Gavin de Beer's name." Air Letter, signed by sender.

Show moreBuying decisions surrounding complex, transformational software are not made by individuals but instead by buying teams. Existing research on sales behavior and salesperson traits focuses on one-to-one selling and gives little insight into the training and selection required of a successful sales force. This paper describes the selling style and personal traits of twelve successful salespeople engaged in complex computer software sales to buying teams. What do successful salespeople do and what is it about him/her that distinguishes the most successful? Technology Frames of Reference and Actor Network Theory were used to interpret the methods used in successfully selling to a buying team. Emotional and cognitive intelligence traits of top performers were identified. The results indicate behavior different to that predicted by the literature. There was no evidence that salespeople attempt to create a shared Frame of Reference or that they focus on classic sales ideas such as negotiation or personal relationships. To flourish in complex software sales to buying teams, successful salespeople strive to manage the interactions between members of the buying team; assembling and disassembling the network of relationships to maximize support. The emotional and cognitive intelligences evident in the top performers were consistent with the literature on one-to-one selling however further research on which combinations are the true discriminators is needed. The practices used by successful salespeople can be used as a learning model for new and developing salespeople. Knowing which traits predict superior performance allows a priori selection in the hiring process.

Behavioral studies have often examined parental care by measuring phenotypic plasticity of behavior within a species. Phylogenetic studies have compared parental care among species, but only at broad categories (e.g., care vs. no care). Here we provide a detailed account that integrates phylogenetic analysis with quantitative behavioral data to better understand parental care behavior in the Cuatro Ciénegas cichlid, Herichthys minckleyi. We found that H. minckleyi occurs in a clade of sexually monochromatic or weakly dichromatic monogamous species, but that male and female H. minckleyi have dramatically different reproductive coloration patterns, likely as a result of sexual selection. Furthermore, we found that males are polygynous; large males guard large territories, and smaller males may attempt alternative mating tactics (sneaking). Finally, compared to the closely related monogamous Rio Grande cichlid, H. cyanoguttatus, males of H. minckleyi were present at their nests less often and performed lower rates of aggressive offspring defense, and females compensated for the absence of their mates by performing higher levels of offspring defense. Body color, mating system, and parental care in H. minckleyi appear to have evolved after it colonized Cuatro Ciénegas, and are likely a result of evolution in an isolated, stable environment.
