Other fonts used in this handbook are: Chianti BT (typically in a bold-italic style) is used for most titles and headers. It was designed in 1991 by Dennis Pasternak of Bitstream to provide a humanist san-serif font of high readability. Gill Sans MT is used for Internet addresses. The typeface was developed in the 1920s by Eric Gill. This version was crafted in the early 1990s by Monotype. Tekton Pro was used in the First Edition for items written in a drum or spoken language, such as “TaKaDiMi Sis Boom Bah – ”. It was designed as an informal typeface for architectural graphics and building construction. It was designed in 1989 by David Siegel of Adobe, based on the hand-lettering of Francis D.K.

Then put on a head cover, foot covers, surgical scrubs, and a yellow plastic gown. Next, if one is available, the N95 mask. Fitting it to your face will be the most important 10 seconds of your day. It will protect you, and it will make your head throb. Then, a surgical mask over the N95. A face shield and gloves. Cocooned, you’ll taste your own recycled breath and hear your own heartbeat; you’ll sweat along every slope and crevice of your body. Now, the hard part. Maintain your empathy, efficiency and expertise for 12 or 18 hours, while going thirsty and never sitting down, in an environment that is under-resourced and overworked, because your latest duty — in a profession with limitless duties — is confronting the most frightening pandemic in 100 years while holding people’s hands through it, through two pairs of gloves and a feeling that tomorrow could be worse.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. GREEK 1. Σιθωνία 2. Η Σιθωνία είναι το δεύτερο «πόδι» της Χαλκιδικής, όπως συνηθίζεται να αποκαλείται, η μεσαία δηλαδή από τις τρεις χερσονήσους της (δυτικά βρίσκεται αυτή της Κασσάνδρας και ανατολικά του Άθω). Το όνομά της το οφείλει στον μυθολογικό βασιλιά της περιοχής Σίθωνα, γιο του Ποσειδώνα και της Όσσας. 3. Είναι ένας τόπος με ξεχωριστή ομορφιά και ακτές που φτάνουν τα ογδόντα επτά χιλιόμετρα μήκους. Δυτικά βρέχεται από το Σιγγιτικό κόλπο και ανατολικά από τον Τορωναίο, ενώ στο κέντρο της μακρόστενης αυτής λωρίδας γης υπάρχει το βουνό Ίταμος, ή αλλιώς Δραγουντέλης, δημοφιλής χειμερινός προορισμός. Υπάρχουν πολλά μέρη για να επισκεφθεί κανείς, όπως η αρχαία πόλη, το κάστρο και ο Ναός του Αγίου Αθανασίου στην Τορώνη, ο ναός του 16ου αιώνα στη Νικήτη, καθώς και οι ανεμόμυλοι στη Συκιά. Την λίστα των προς επίσκεψη περιοχών συμπληρώνουν και τα διάφορα παραδοσιακά ψαροχώρια, όπως το Πόρτο Κουφό, που είναι το μεγαλύτερο και ασφαλέστερο φυσικό λιμάνι σε ολόκληρη τη χώρα. 4. Τα παράλια της Σιθωνίας παρουσιάζουν εξαιρετικό ενδιαφέρον και ποικιλία όλο το χρόνο, με πιο χαρακτηριστική εικόνα την άσπρη αμμουδιά και τα πεύκα που φτάνουν μέχρι μόλις λίγα μέτρα από το νερό. Γνωστές παραλίες είναι το Αζάπικο, η Τριστινίκα, ο Κόρακας, ο Μαραθιάς, και άλλες. Ιδιαίτερης ομορφιάς τοπίο όμως, είναι τα Καρτάλια, που βρίσκονται στο νοτιότερο τμήμα της χερσονήσου, με ακτές γεμάτες βράχια. 5. Πέρα όμως από τα τοπία, η Σιθωνία έχει να προσφέρει και μια ιδιαίτερα ζωντανή ζωή, με πλήθος πολιτιστικών και αθλητικών εκδηλώσεων, θαλάσσια σπορ, ιππασία στα πευκοδάση και νυχτερινή ζωή παρόμοια με της Μυκόνου.

Crawford ii JONES, MARY JANE, M.A., AUGUST, 2010 MUSIC REVIVAL AND COMMUNITY: THE HISTORY AND PRACTICES OF A NATIVE AMERICAN FLUTE CIRCLE (64 PP.) Director of Thesis: Terry E. Miller Much knowledge about the Native American flute was lost following the suppression of Native American musical traditions by the United States government around the turn of the twentieth century. A renewal of interest in the instrument occurred in the latter part of the twentieth century, but few knew how to play the flute stylistically. As flute enthusiasts began meeting to learn and play together, flute circles emerged throughout North America and around the world. This thesis examines one such circle in Northeast Ohio and offers insight into the views and motivations of its members of Native descent. The practices of the flute circle and the relationships that formed among its members are investigated, as well as the reasons why these people have chosen to connect with their roots by means of playing the flute.

  • The Long History of Indigenous Rock, Metal, and Punk
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Not All Killed by John Wayne: The Long History of Indigenous Rock, Metal, and Punk 1940s to the Present A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in American Indian Studies by Kristen Le Amber Martinez 2019 © Copyright by Kristen Le Amber Martinez 2019 ABSTRACT OF THESIS Not All Killed by John Wayne: Indigenous Rock ‘n’ Roll, Metal, and Punk History 1940s to the Present by Kristen Le Amber Martinez Master of Arts in American Indian Studies University of California Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Maylei Blackwell, Chair In looking at the contribution of Indigenous punk and hard rock bands, there has been a long history of punk that started in Northern Arizona, as well as a current diverse scene in the Southwest ranging from punk, ska, metal, doom, sludge, blues, and black metal. Diné, Apache, Hopi, Pueblo, Gila, Yaqui, and O’odham bands are currently creating vast punk and metal music scenes. In this thesis, I argue that Native punk is not just a cultural movement, but a form of survivance. Bands utilize punk and their stories as a conduit to counteract issues of victimhood as well as challenge imposed mechanisms of settler colonialism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, notions of being fixed in the past, as well as bringing awareness to genocide and missing and murdered Indigenous women. Through D.I.Y. and space making, bands are writing music which ii resonates with them, and are utilizing their own venues, promotions, zines, unique fashion, and lyrics to tell their stories.
