2nd prize winner of the Friends of Fondren Library Undergraduate Research Awards, 2017. ; This paper was originally prepared for Course HIST 217 (Fall 2016): History: The Workship, given by Professor Dr. Fay Yarbrough, Department of History. ; The aim of this project was to pick someone in history who would have been overlooked by history and reconstruct their lives through an annotated bibliography of primary and secondary sources. Even if the person had left no records specific to himself, more general research based on the kind of person he was would reveal the necessary information to gain a full understanding. The person in question was a 19th century Irish immigrant gangster in New York City named Redmond McManus. He was responsible for an accidental shooting in 1861, but there is little further information. Most significantly, he was a member of the Bowery Boys, a powerful Nativist gang. The gang itself is famous because of its media representations, but specific historical information is limited. Now, after over a century, it is difficult to separate fact from legend. Though they occupied a significant place in New York City's political development, they managed to keep their secrets well hidden. Based on census and employment records, other news reports, letters, and secondary sources, a complete picture of his life could be created, focusing on the more personal aspects of the life of a Bowery Boy.

This essay explores the "social contract" of the digital humanities community. I argue that the social contract of the digital humanities is composed of two rules: 1) the notion of niceness or civility; and 2) the possession of technical knowledge, defined as knowledge of coding or computer programming. These rules are repeatedly raised within the public sphere of the digital humanities and are simultaneously contested and criticized. I claim that these rules and the social contract come from humanities computing, a field commonly described as the digital humanities' sole predecessor. Humanities computing has historically differentiated itself from media and cultural studies, defining itself as a field that uses computational methods to address humanities research questions rather than exploring the impact of computation on culture and the humanities. I call for a movement that would go beyond this social contract by creating multiple genealogies for the digital humanities; by arguing that current conceptualizations of the digital humanities have not only developed from humanities computing but also include additional fields such as new media studies, postcolonial science and technology studies, and digital research on race, gender, class, and disability and their impact on cultures around the world.

The low interest paid on Central Provident Fund (CPF) balances when compared with the relatively high returns earned by government investment entities such as Temasek Holdings and GIG is a common gripe.

A través de la sociedad española y la coreana, podemos ver la incorporación del darwinismo como un proceso dependiente de varios factores. Las implicaciones filosóficas del darwinismo tienen puntos contrarios a la filosofía occidental, pero con la filosofía oriental coinciden bastante. Sin embargo, el darwinismo nació en Occidente debido a su tradición intelectual y su situación social. En el encuentro entre sociedades y darwinismo, el factor más influyente de la sociedad española fue el pensamiento religioso e ideológico, en cambio en la coreana lo fue la situación socio-política de la época y la vía de transmisión. El catolicismo español se opuso a la teoría en la primera época de la apropiación, pero el protestantismo surcoreano lo objeta actualmente./n ; Through comparative research of Spanish and Korean societies, the societal and cultural incorporation of Darwinism influenced by a variety of factors of the community can be investigated. While the philosophical implications of Darwinism can contrast with Western philosophy, Eastern philosophy is more compatible. However, Darwinism was born in the West thanks to its intellectual tradition and political circumstances of the society. In Spanish society, the most influencing factor in the process of the incorporation of Darwinism was the religious ideology, whereas in Korea, it was the socio-political situations. Although Spanish Catholicism initially opposed Darwinism, it is now generally accepted. In contrast, the South Korean Protestantism currently objects to Darwinism.
