Unrestricted Immigration and the Foreign Dominance Of
Unrestricted Immigration and the Foreign Dominance of United States Nobel Prize Winners in Science: Irrefutable Data and Exemplary Family Narratives—Backup Data and Information Andrew A. Beveridge, Queens and Graduate Center CUNY and Social Explorer, Inc. Lynn Caporale, Strategic Scientific Advisor and Author The following slides were presented at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This project and paper is an outgrowth of that session, and will combine qualitative data on Nobel Prize Winners family histories along with analyses of the pattern of Nobel Winners. The first set of slides show some of the patterns so far found, and will be augmented for the formal paper. The second set of slides shows some examples of the Nobel families. The authors a developing a systematic data base of Nobel Winners (mainly US), their careers and their family histories. This turned out to be much more challenging than expected, since many winners do not emphasize their family origins in their own biographies or autobiographies or other commentary. Dr. Caporale has reached out to some laureates or their families to elicit that information. We plan to systematically compare the laureates to the population in the US at large, including immigrants and non‐immigrants at various periods. Outline of Presentation • A preliminary examination of the 609 Nobel Prize Winners, 291 of whom were at an American Institution when they received the Nobel in physics, chemistry or physiology and medicine • Will look at patterns of -
Frank Wilczek on the World's Numerical Recipe
Note by All too often, we ignore goals, genres, or Frank Wilczek values, or we assume that they are so apparent that we do not bother to high- light them. Yet judgments about whether an exercise–a paper, a project, an essay Frank Wilczek response on an examination–has been done intelligently or stupidly are often on the dif½cult for students to fathom. And since these evaluations are not well world’s understood, few if any lessons can be numerical drawn from them. Laying out the criteria recipe by which judgments of quality are made may not suf½ce in itself to improve qual- ity, but in the absence of such clari½- cation, we have little reason to expect our students to go about their work intelligently. Twentieth-century physics began around 600 b.c. when Pythagoras of Samos pro- claimed an awesome vision. By studying the notes sounded by plucked strings, Pythagoras discovered that the human perception of harmony is connected to numerical ratios. He examined strings made of the same material, having the same thickness, and under the same tension, but of different lengths. Under these conditions, he found that the notes sound harmonious precisely when the ratio of the lengths of string can be expressed in small whole numbers. For example, the length ratio Frank Wilczek, Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at MIT, is known, among other things, for the discovery of asymptotic freedom, the develop- ment of quantum chromodynamics, the invention of axions, and the discovery and exploitation of new forms of quantum statistics (anyons). -

International Casting Directors Network Index
International Casting Directors Network Index 01 Welcome 02 About the ICDN 04 Index of Profiles 06 Profiles of Casting Directors 76 About European Film Promotion 78 Imprint 79 ICDN Membership Application form Gut instinct and hours of research “A great film can feel a lot like a fantastic dinner party. Actors mingle and clash in the best possible lighting, and conversation is fraught with wit and emotion. The director usually gets the bulk of the credit. But before he or she can play the consummate host, someone must carefully select the right guests, send out the invites, and keep track of the RSVPs”. ‘OSCARS: The Role Of Casting Director’ by Monica Corcoran Harel, The Deadline Team, December 6, 2012 Playing one of the key roles in creating that successful “dinner” is the Casting Director, but someone who is often over-looked in the recognition department. Everyone sees the actor at work, but very few people see the hours of research, the intrinsic skills, the gut instinct that the Casting Director puts into finding just the right person for just the right role. It’s a mix of routine and inspiration which brings the characters we come to love, and sometimes to hate, to the big screen. The Casting Director’s delicate work as liaison between director, actors, their agent/manager and the studio/network figures prominently in decisions which can make or break a project. It’s a job that can't garner an Oscar, but its mighty importance is always felt behind the scenes. In July 2013, the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) created a new branch for Casting Directors, and we are thrilled that a number of members of the International Casting Directors Network are amongst the first Casting Directors invited into the Academy. -
Interpreting Tempo and Rubato in Chopin's Music
Interpreting tempo and rubato in Chopin’s music: A matter of tradition or individual style? Li-San Ting A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales School of the Arts and Media Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences June 2013 ABSTRACT The main goal of this thesis is to gain a greater understanding of Chopin performance and interpretation, particularly in relation to tempo and rubato. This thesis is a comparative study between pianists who are associated with the Chopin tradition, primarily the Polish pianists of the early twentieth century, along with French pianists who are connected to Chopin via pedagogical lineage, and several modern pianists playing on period instruments. Through a detailed analysis of tempo and rubato in selected recordings, this thesis will explore the notions of tradition and individuality in Chopin playing, based on principles of pianism and pedagogy that emerge in Chopin’s writings, his composition, and his students’ accounts. Many pianists and teachers assume that a tradition in playing Chopin exists but the basis for this notion is often not made clear. Certain pianists are considered part of the Chopin tradition because of their indirect pedagogical connection to Chopin. I will investigate claims about tradition in Chopin playing in relation to tempo and rubato and highlight similarities and differences in the playing of pianists of the same or different nationality, pedagogical line or era. I will reveal how the literature on Chopin’s principles regarding tempo and rubato relates to any common or unique traits found in selected recordings. -

Our Movement targets all Americans with the message that today you can make small lifestyle enhancing changes to increase your well-being and guarantee a fuller and longer life. In 2007-2008, the HealthCorps network expanded to 36 high schools in seven states, where the program’s impact reaches 32,400 students and community residents.

Wie Wohnt Eigentlich James Bond? Oder Was
Skript zur Einführung in das Szenenbild Wie wohnt eigentlich James Bond? oder Was Architektur im Film erzählen kann Teil 1 Fragen zum Szenenbild Teil 2 Recherchematerial Szenenbildentwurf zum Projekt „Monitors“ Korbinian Greiner und Kai Bagsik 1 Teil 1 Fragen zum Szenenbild Studio Babelsberg 2017 Was ist eigentlich ein Szenenbildner? Das Szenenbild (engl. Production Design) ist neben der Drehbuch- /Projektentwicklung, der Regie, der Kamera und der Produktion eine der Säulen der Filmkunst. Der Szenenbildner, Szenograf, Produktionsdesigner oder Filmarchitekt - die Berufsbezeichnungen sind so vielfältig, wie die verschiedenen Aufgabengebiete - erarbeitet mit den anderen „Heads of Department“ eine bildnerische Umsetzung der Drehbuchvorgaben. Im Idealfall wird der Szenenbildner frühzeitig in die Projektentwicklung eingebunden, so dass nach seinen Umsetzungsvorschlägen und der Kalkulation das Drehbuch entsprechend modifiziert werden kann. Sein Tätigkeitsgebiet umfasst neben dem Kinofilm auch den Fernsehfilm, die Fernseh- bzw. Web-Serie, die Werbung, Musikvideos und den Eventbereich. 2 Szenenbild 2007 Innen/Nacht Szenenbild Kai Bagsik Was unterscheidet die Filmarchitektur von der Hochbauarchitektur? Der zweifache Oscar Preisträger Ken Adam faste in etwa zusammen: „Der Entwurf eines Szenenbildes ist, der Entwurf von Schatten und Licht.“ Das ist natürlich eine Vereinfachung bzw. Zuspitzung, aber eine, die veranschaulicht. Das Szenenbild ist eine Vertiefung der Architektur unter Einbeziehung der bildenden Kunst, des Designs und der Innenarchitektur. -
