66th Annual Convention of the Parapsychological Association: Abstracts

"Australian Optometrical Association, New South Wales Division – Annual Convention – Metropole – 24.7.61." Clinical and Experimental Optometry, 44(10), pp. 423–424

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR I am writing to all members of RMMLA to ask you to consider submitting your essays to the Rocky Mountain Review ofLanguage and Literature. I usually put out a notice at the annual convention encouraging members to submit essays, and in the Fall 1989 Review I included an essay, "From Plain Vanilla to Sour Grapes: What Readers Say about Prospective Articles," in which I discussed comments our expert readers made about the essays that they read. Since it's been almost four years since that essay and since not everyone is able to attend the annual convention, I am using this space to encourage you to submit the article you are completing now for possible publication in the Review. We have a policy of double-blind reviewing—the outside readers do not know who wrote the essay, and you are not told who those reviewers are. Any references to your own work within an essay should be done as if you were citing someone else's book or article. The turn-around time for essays varies greatly. I try to get readers' responses back to authors within 3-4 months, but there are exceptions. The time will be longer in the summer when many faculty members are away from their universities. Now and then it takes me several weeks to locate two experts able to read the article within the 6-8 week turn-around time I stipulate. And occasionally an outside reader is unable to get a response ready in the time she or he expected. But I try to keep the paper moving and call and write to readers to remind them that you are waiting to hear about your essay. From acceptance to publication is usually 6 months to a year. The main caveat>—summarizing my own 1989 essay in 25 words or less— is DON'T SUBMIT UNREVISED CONFERENCE PAPERS. Almost invariably the outside readers recognize that these are, or seem like, conference papers because they are abbreviations of a full discussion and do not include the background and context as fully as most well-developed essays do. As you prepare your essay, you might be thinking about the questions on our standard questionnaire to expert readers: "Is the style clear and readable ? Does the article make a thoughtful and original contribution to the discipline? Is the critical method sound? Does the article appear sufficiently aware of previous criticism? Are facts and references accurate?" Remember also—as you can see from the variety of materials in this issue—that we accept poetry and short fiction and translations of poetry and short fiction. Details of our submission guidelines are published on the inside back cover ofthis issue. I would like to increase the variety of materials in the Review. Any topic that is acceptable for presentation in a paper at the annual RMMLA convention is appropriate for submission to the Rocky Mountain Review—literature in many languages (and we do accept articles in French, German, Italian, and Spanish as well as English), linguistics, pedagogy, technical communication, creative writing, expository writing, popular culture, folklore , computers and language teaching, and many other topics are within the range of professional interests of RMMLA members and therefore appropriate to our journal. Please call or write ifyou have any questions: phone (208) 385-3426; fax (208) 385-4373. Carol A. Martin Editor, Rocky Mountain Review ...

Australian Optonetrical Association, New South Wales Division - Annual Convention - Metropole - 24.7.61.

Journal Article Index to Proceedings of the Thirtieth Annual Convention, 1913, and to the First two Days of the Thirty-First Annual Convention, 1914 Get access Journal of Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, Volume 1, Issue 4, 15 February 1916, Pages 591–599, https://doi.org/10.1093/jaoac/1.4.591 Published: 10 March 2020

A provision of the Constitution of the Society requires that the President shall deliver an address at the Annual Convention, and, in compliance therewith, I have the honor to appear before you this evening. As I have not been of late years actively engaged in the practice of our profession, and am, for that reason, unable to give from personal experience notes of recent works and improvements marking the strides of current progress in the science of engineering, it has been suggested to me that you would be interested in a historical narration of some of the events and problems or a much earlier period, and the manner of meeting them in the construction, development and operation of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

Groundbreaking Summit

The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) is arguably the most influential of organizations and institutions that represent and serve the interests of the growing community of Muslims in the United States and Canada. ISNA evolved in the early 1980s from the Muslim Students Association of the United States and Canada (MSA), founded in 1963 by international students on North American college campuses. ISNA has secured its place among Muslim Americans by opening its membership to all Muslim Americans, regardless of ethnicity or sectarian persuasion. Further, its member-elected leadership facilitates timely and relevant responses to the changing civic and political environment. Headquartered in suburban Plainfield, Indiana, ISNA is governed by a board of directors and managed by an executive director as its chief executive officer. As an Internal Revenue Service–designated tax-exempt charity, ISNA is funded by contributions from members and donors and by revenues from its conventions and conferences. ISNA claims and promotes leadership and service as its guiding principles and draws from those themes for its most visible activities: an annual convention, its flagship bimonthly publication, two annual education forums, and its active engagement with governmental and religious institutions. A vibrant youth program, an inclusive orientation, a stewardship outlook, and membership open to Muslims of all sectarian persuasions have earned ISNA a prominent place in the American Muslim community. ISNA’s comprehensive work in many areas of Muslim-American life has enabled it to initiate and lead collaborative initiatives among Muslim organizations to advance common goals. Yet, during the nearly sixty years of their existence, MSA and ISNA have endured a few financial and operational challenges. Funding by core supporters and diligence by committed officers helped strengthen ISNA’s resilience and reinforce its ingrained appeal to North American Muslims. By thoughtfully collaborating with faith-based organizations, civic-minded activist groups, and governmental entities at national levels, ISNA has secured a preeminent position as the representative voice of Muslim Americans. ISNA’s annual conventions and flagship magazine are recognized as significant contributions to the maturity of the Muslim American presence in North America.

It is expected that every member of the Association will do something toward maintaining the high standard of efficiency which has marked the annual conventions of the past in order that the 1916 Convention may be of the greatest possible value. Every member, as far as possible, should endeavor to be present at the Convention this year.The pending year will have been one of unprecedented circumstances in relation to poultry production, and since the eighth annual convention the developments of the poultry interests have been unparalleled.
