37622 Care2 Signatures to Shut Down Indian Point First Name Last Name City State Country Personal Comment Elin Defrin Amenia NY UNITED STATES It's time to make it go. Jennifer Catriana baldwin NY UNITED STATES Fukushima on the Hudson.... sigh. This plant too close to my residence. Do not want Lillian Mukai Bayside NY UNITED STATES the risk of a meltdown. Are you waiting for a great tragedy before shutting Diana Dorer Beacon NY UNITED STATES the damn thing down? Please hear us: we want Indian Point Nuclear plant closed NOW. Please. Before something really bad Babette Brown Beacon NY UNITED STATES happens. PLEASE stop putting our lives at risk! Shut down Indian Point now before we have one of the worst nuclear accidents in history. Replace the entire plant with a field of solar panels for utility‐scale renewable energy. We New Yorkers in the Hudson Valley all the way down to the city do not want to die prematurely! Our gratitude for taking this brave step Anna Sullivan Beacon NY UNITED STATES would be immeasurable. Thank you. Please use common sense to avoid a catastrophe. 30,000.000 cannot flee the radiation caused by a meltdown. With all due respect to Dr Kevorkian, i have seen no petition requesting a mass sucide posted anywhere. We live in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Let's keep it that way. From a dollars and cents perspective, tourism is a huge money maker for New york city and everywhere in the Hudson Valley. Chernoble, Three Mile Island and areas around fukashima in Japan have no tourists visiting . Genocide is bad for business. As a member of a Union since 1949, I think we should all work towards guaranteeing new employment for all the loyal workers at the Indian point plant. It would alsomsave their lives sine the first meltdown will be fatal to anyone in the vicinity. This transcends politics. Radiaition poisening is an equal opportunity destroyer. Please use common sense and old fashioned American values and shut david amram Beacon NY UNITED STATES down the plant before it shuts us down. This plant is a disaster waiting to happen. Shut it down for the safety and wellbeing of all living NOW. Karen LoGrasso Bohemia NY UNITED STATES There are better and safer sources of energy. 30 MILES FROM NEW YORK IS TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT WE SHOULD NOT HAVE NUCLEAR PLANTS ANYWHERE NEAR HIGHLY POPULATED AREAS SO Lenora Sanchez Bronx NY UNITED STATES CLOSE TO HOMES Please exercise integrity, wisdom and courage as you make decisions that will affect future of life in Carol De Angelo Bronx NY UNITED STATES Hudson River region and beyond. Maria Bari Bronx NY UNITED STATES This is scary ! This should be torn down and be replaced with Sandra Elson Bronx NY UNITED STATES energy wind turbines. I hope our authorities, do not want anything like Esteban Macias Bronx NY UNITED STATES Russia suffered sometime ago... Laura North Bronxville NY UNITED STATES Scary! Any nuclear power plant makes no sense, especially Indian Point that is located near NYC and have many Bozena Grossman Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES problems !!! Shut It Down Now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even a 'small' or 'limited' accident resulting in a release of radioactive material will cause incalculable damage. Relicensing? This dinosaur needs to be Mark McKennon Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES taken off line, decommissioned and disassembled. For something that generates only 5% of the region's energy needs, it seems rather unnecessary as it is, Isaac Cameo Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES magnified by the risk of it standing on two fault lines. Marcia Bernstein Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES I live in New York City. I think it is crazy to have a nuclear power plant, with it's known catastrophic potential in the event of an accident or terrorist action, so close to a major Harvey Siederbaum Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES population area. It needs to be shut down NOW! I was actually going to say it's crazy having this place in just about THE most densely populated region in the U.S. Then I read the peition letter which Joy E Goldberg Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES ALREADY SAYS THIS. If a tragedy strikes millions of people will be affected. There is no Soalr spills. There is no wind Paulina Sadowska Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES spills... Invest into the future! If the entire metro area of NYC had solar panels on our roofs, we wouldn't need to put the entire Cody Baker Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES populous at risk of the dangers this plant possesses. Joseph Rosta Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES Indian Point is a menace! No more nukes. Mike Olshan Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES It is a hazard to me and to millions of others. It should have never been built, God help us if it let's Timothy Warner Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES go. The critical factor here is that there is no way, in the event of a nuclear accident, to evacuate New York Susan Sively Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES City. the risks to the lives of millions of humans, animals and the environment far outweighs any benefits from keeping this unsafe power plant going. it has to Lisa Siegel Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES be shut down ASAP. There is a great deal of radioactive waste that is haphazardly stored at Indian Point. We don't need more, as if this were the only danger! We have already seen catastrophes at nuclear power plants. What we need in New York State is to get the long planned wind farm on Long Beach, Long Island built already, and to build many, many more wind farms. An American inventor has designed a windmill ‐ Migler Windmills ‐ which is much more efficient than the windmills currently in use. It is also quiet and it does not kill birds. We need this all over our state ‐ supporting American ingenuity and business, and clean, safe energy for a prosperous and healthy future. Let's make New York State a leader in clean, green energy, and let's please do it ASAP. Thank Sharon Shoenfeld Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES you for reading my comment. Krissa Schandelmaier Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES This is a terrible idea ‐ for many, many reasons. This plant is near a major population center and is Barbara Elovic Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES constantly having technical problems. This unsafe and poorly managed plant should be Nancy Cadet Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES closed ASAP Though the way New York City is going down the toilet as a cesspool for the 1%, maybe it should just George Carter Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES explode. Were a Fukashima or Chernobyl type accident to happen at indian Point, New York City would be uninhabitable. Imagine the consquence on thethis Joseph Holdner Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES would have on our economy. when are we going to green energy? we are Anita Brandariz Brooklyn NY UNITED STATES overdue. let's get started already! There has already been a number of significant accidents at these now 39‐ and 40‐year‐old facilities. Unit 2 is in extended operation after the expiration of its 40‐year license period, and unit 3 expires Dec. 2015. Given the age of these plants, their close proximity to a fault line, their location in a densely populated region with roads that are unlikely to support its evacuation in a nuclear emergency, and its nearness to New York City with an impossible evacuation situation, Indian Point's operating license Kristen Reilly Buffalo NY UNITED STATES should not be renewed for another 20 years. Nuclear officials once called the Indian Point Nuclear Power Facility 'an accident waiting to happen' ‐ and jessica dahl cornwall NY UNITED STATES now it has. please don't this happen again! Seriously! I can almost spit to Indian Point from Fred Remus Croton on Hudson NY UNITED STATES where I live. When Fukushima began to melt down, the NRC told all the Americans in Japan that it was dangerous to be within 50 miles of the reactors and the nuclear waste in the spent fuel pools. If I heard sirens right now, I’d have to get in my car and drive 45 miles. But Sunny Armer Croton on Hudson NY UNITED STATES in what direction? I have lived near Indian Point for almost 30 years. This last incident convinced me I have to move Barbara S. Nadel Croton‐on‐Hudson NY UNITED STATES away; And I am going to. Robin Fox Croton‐on‐Hudson NY UNITED STATES Shut down Indian Point NOW ‐‐ before a calamity! richie stoike elmhurst NY UNITED STATES go solar. Putting this ancient plant in the middle of a huge Beth Birnbaum Flushing NY UNITED STATES population concentration is idiocy. Please. No more Nuclear Power Permits for Indian Point. We can do without it, but we can't deal with radiation poisoning, a plant meltdown or other tragic event that could have been prevented by closing the plant down. Be safe. Go Green and Go Clean. Jerry Hallead FOREST HILLS NY UNITED STATES Stop the madness! Thank you. Shut Indian Point!!!! The plant rests upon two active fault lines, bringing to mind the 300,000 people forced to evacuate in Fukushima, Japan, after the Michael Christopher Garden city NY UNITED STATES 2011 earthquake caused a nuclear meltdown there. I live in the area that is endangered by this old and unnecessary plant. And I used to live in NYC. Time to shut down this accident waiting to happen and Martha McCulloch Gardiner NY UNITED STATES protect millions of people! There can be no evacuation.

Alex Winter's assembly features appearances by Frank's widow Gail Zappa and several of Frank's musical collaborators including Mike Keneally, Ian Underwood, Steve Vai, Pamela Des Barres, Bunk Gardner, David Harrington, Scott Thunes, Ruth Underwood, Ray White and others. 49 west 27th street 7th floor new york, ny 10001 tel 212 924 6701 fax 212 924 6742 www.magpictures.com DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT – ALEX WINTER It seemed striking to me and producer Glen Zipper that there had yet to be a definitive, all-access documentary on the life and times of Frank Zappa. We set out to make that film, to tell a story that is not a music doc, or a conventional biopic, but the dramatic saga of a great American artist and thinker; a film that would set out to convey the scope of Zappa’s prodigious and varied creative output, and the breadth of his extraordinary personal and political life.

    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Joe Dante at the Movies, 18 Days of 40 Genre-Busting Films, Aug 5—24
    BAMcinématek presents Joe Dante at the Movies, 18 days of 40 genre-busting films, Aug 5—24 “One of the undisputed masters of modern genre cinema.” —Tom Huddleston, Time Out London Dante to appear in person at select screenings Aug 5—Aug 7 The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Jul 18, 2016/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, August 5, through Wednesday, August 24, BAMcinématek presents Joe Dante at the Movies, a sprawling collection of Dante’s essential film and television work along with offbeat favorites hand-picked by the director. Additionally, Dante will appear in person at the August 5 screening of Gremlins (1984), August 6 screening of Matinee (1990), and the August 7 free screening of rarely seen The Movie Orgy (1968). Original and unapologetically entertaining, the films of Joe Dante both celebrate and skewer American culture. Dante got his start working for Roger Corman, and an appreciation for unpretentious, low-budget ingenuity runs throughout his films. The series kicks off with the essential box-office sensation Gremlins (1984—Aug 5, 8 & 20), with Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates. Billy (Galligan) finds out the hard way what happens when you feed a Mogwai after midnight and mini terrors take over his all-American town. Continuing the necessary viewing is the “uninhibited and uproarious monster bash,” (Michael Sragow, New Yorker) Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990—Aug 6 & 20). Dante’s sequel to his commercial hit plays like a spoof of the original, with occasional bursts of horror and celebrity cameos. In The Howling (1981), a news anchor finds herself the target of a shape-shifting serial killer in Dante’s take on the werewolf genre.

INTRODUCTION Video games are now more complex and realistic than they ever have been—but making those games is not cheap. Video game development and marketing costs are sky high.1 To help recoup these costs, game developers and publishers have begun inventing increasingly clever ways to encourage users to spend more money on video games—and they are pursuing patents for those inventions. One recently granted patent seeks to drive in-game purchases by making multiplayer matches difficult for a player, encouraging that player to buy an item and, once that item is purchased and used, subtly rewarding the spending by making multiplayer matches easier.2 Another recently granted patent targets players more likely to spend money in-game by presenting them with exclusive spending opportunities, maximizing value * Shareholder, Banner Witcoff.

  • Leksykon Polskiej I Światowej Muzyki Elektronicznej
    Piotr Mulawka Leksykon polskiej i światowej muzyki elektronicznej „Zrealizowano w ramach programu stypendialnego Ministra Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego-Kultura w sieci” Wydawca: Piotr Mulawka [email protected] © 2020 Wszelkie prawa zastrzeżone ISBN 978-83-943331-4-0 2 Przedmowa Muzyka elektroniczna narodziła się w latach 50-tych XX wieku, a do jej powstania przyczyniły się zdobycze techniki z końca XIX wieku m.in. telefon- pierwsze urządzenie służące do przesyłania dźwięków na odległość (Aleksander Graham Bell), fonograf- pierwsze urządzenie zapisujące dźwięk (Thomas Alv Edison 1877), gramofon (Emile Berliner 1887). Jak podają źródła, w 1948 roku francuski badacz, kompozytor, akustyk Pierre Schaeffer (1910-1995) nagrał za pomocą mikrofonu dźwięki naturalne m.in. (śpiew ptaków, hałas uliczny, rozmowy) i próbował je przekształcać. Tak powstała muzyka nazwana konkretną (fr. musigue concrete). W tym samym roku wyemitował w radiu „Koncert szumów”. Jego najważniejszą kompozycją okazał się utwór pt. „Symphonie pour un homme seul” z 1950 roku. W kolejnych latach muzykę konkretną łączono z muzyką tradycyjną. Oto pionierzy tego eksperymentu: John Cage i Yannis Xenakis. Muzyka konkretna pojawiła się w kompozycji Rogera Watersa. Utwór ten trafił na ścieżkę dźwiękową do filmu „The Body” (1970). Grupa Beaver and Krause wprowadziła muzykę konkretną do utworu „Walking Green Algae Blues” z albumu „In A Wild Sanctuary” (1970), a zespół Pink Floyd w „Animals” (1977). Pierwsze próby tworzenia muzyki elektronicznej miały miejsce w Darmstadt (w Niemczech) na Międzynarodowych Kursach Nowej Muzyki w 1950 roku. W 1951 roku powstało pierwsze studio muzyki elektronicznej przy Rozgłośni Radia Zachodnioniemieckiego w Kolonii (NWDR- Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk). Tu tworzyli: H. Eimert (Glockenspiel 1953), K. Stockhausen (Elektronische Studie I, II-1951-1954), H.
