title: Report on the Harry Ransom Center

authors: Nannicelli, Theodore

abstract: The Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas – Austin is a fantastic resource for scholars of screenwriting and the humanities in general. The Center groups its collections roughly into the following categories: digital collections, art, books and periodicals, film, French and Italian, manuscripts, performing arts and photography. Within these broad categories, there is material to support research in areas of study ranging from African studies to the history of science, from human rights to women’s studies. Although the Center does not have a dedicated screenwriting archive, several of the archives in its film collection contain screenplays and various other related materials like treatments, outlines and so forth.

title: eReader interface design for page-turning

authors: Vanderschantz, Nicholas

subjects: computer science

abstract: There remain numerous unanswered questions regarding how to design eReaders that are effective for the range of reading purposes required by readers. This broad research area requires the attention of HCI, design, and reading researchers alike. This paper begins to address the needs of readers when turning pages during reading in a digital book (eBook). Specifically, software-based page-turning features of eReading on a mobile device are investigated. A case study analysis of eReader software and hardware is presented and used to inform the design and testing of six page-turning methods for eReaders. Design recommendations for page-turning are provided.

title: Te Karauna Hou: the senior Ngati Rahiri rangatira

authors: Hart, Philip

abstract: Te Karauna Hou, the principal Ngati Rahiri rangatira living at Te Aroha in 1880, had a distinguished whakapapa linking him to several hapu. Before settling permanently at Te Aroha in the 1870s he lived in several places, especially at Kaitawa, on the southern outskirts of Thames. One of the principal rangatira in Hauraki, he was loyal to the Crown during the Waikato War, and later assisted Pakeha settlement. To emphasize his mana and that of his hapu, he held big festivities at Kaitawa and at Omahu pa at Te Aroha. 
In 1871, when Ngati Haua won a (temporary) victory in the land court over the ownership of the Aroha Block, Karauna took control of it on behalf of the Marutuahu confederation, and subsequently kept Ngati Haua at bay. For a time he opposed road-making on this block, but later agreed to it, for financial reasons. Like all rangatira, he sought to maximize his ownership of as many blocks of land as possible, sometimes having his lies exposed through his contradicting his earlier evidence. He also denied receiving money for land when his denials were easily disproved. Despite leasing and selling land, selling timber and gum, and opening his land to miners, he often struggled financially.  
Karauna claimed to have found gold in Hauraki in 1852, and was willing to open his land at Thames to miners, but did not invest in any claims before the Te Aroha rush, when he attempted to extract a bonus of £1,000 from the government for opening the field. After his death in 1885, Pakeha remembered with gratitude his friendly attitude to them, but they also remembered his drunkenness, which meant he lost the respect of both Maori and Pakeha in his latter years.
