    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

WWho was she – this modern being of whom Vicki BBaum’s page-boy look became a synonym? She was yyoung, dynamic and self-confi dent; possessed of a bboyish fi gure, the legs shapely and well-defi ned, She ccould be sometimes chic, sometimes sporty – but ffashion was only a fi rst step. IIf the fi rst women who embodied this type in the USA wwere still in the pioneer tradition,by the “Roaring TTwenties” they were, rather, female citizens demanding eequal rights, women who took the liberty of making ttheir own decisions about their body and their choice oof career. Th e “New (Picturebook) Woman” cut off her sskirt above the knee, like the graceful Viennese fi gure sskater Herma von Szabó. She played powerful tennis llike the American Helen Wills, was brave like the EEnglish girl Bella White, who dared to dive head fi rst ffrom the 17 metre high Saddle Rock near Torquay. OOr she performed energetic feats like the German- AAmerican Gertrud Ederle, the fi rst woman to swim tthe English Channel. On 18 November 1928, the well-known German magazine “Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung” (BIZ) featured Good luck for Off enbach, a young woman who had plaited her blonde hair over good luck for Helene Mayer her ears.

  • Distinguishing Characteristics of Classical Fencing When

    Distinguishing Characteristics of Classical Fencing When

    DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS OF CLASSICAL FENCING WHEN COMPARED TO MODERN FENCING by Walter Guerry Green III, Ph.D. A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Diploma Classical Fencing Master Classical Academy of Arms January 2006 Updated and expanded at the request of the Academy December 2016 ABSTRACT This study examines the characteristics of classical and modern fencing to better understand the differences between fencing in the two periods in order to better ground the teaching of classical fencing. It identifies 7 distinguishing differences between classical fencing, as stated by modern classical fencers, and modern fencing, and 4 broad categories of differences not identified by modern classical fencers that should be considered. A qualitative content analysis was used as the basis to compare and contrast the classical perspective with the categories identified as meriting further consideration. Although classical fencing and modern fencing clearly differ in technique, it is reasonable to suggest that a wide variety of factors in the environment surrounding fencing, as well as in the mechanics of fencing are the actual differences between classical and modern fencing. Those differences suggested by classical fencing are signs and symptoms generated by the actual differences. Copyright 2016 by Walter G. Green III.
