  • CITES Musical Instrument Certificates Background Musicians Perform With
    CITES Musical Instrument Certificates Background Musicians perform with valuable and culturally significant musical instruments legally crafted decades and even centuries ago. A number of these instruments contain small amounts of ivory, shell, reptile skin, and rosewood or other materials regulated under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES). The international use of musical instruments by musicians and professional and student ensembles is essential to advance diplomacy, spark artistic innovation, and support vital international cultural activity. In partnership with CITES parties and the conservation community, music stakeholders have undertaken efforts to increase compliance with current permit requirements while simultaneously pursuing policy improvements that will alleviate unnecessary burdens. Musical Instrument Certificate Created at CoP16 – A Consolidated Permit At the 16th Conference of the Parties (CoP16), Resolution Conf. 16.8 was adopted on Frequent Cross-Border Non-Commercial Movements of Musical Instruments, creating a multi-use Musical Instrument Certificate. The Musical Instrument Certificate is not an exemption from the permit process. It is a consolidated permit. The MIC streamlines the requirement for obtaining multiple CITES export permits when an instrument contains CITES material and is not exempted from permit requirements by an annotation or a personal effects exemption. Musicians using the MIC apply to their CITES Management Authority for issuance of single permit, which must then be credentialed by CITES enforcement officials at each port through which an instrument travels. Clarifications and Exemptions Approved at CoP17 At the 17th conference of the parties (CoP17), unanimous approval was given to Resolution Conf. 16.8 (Rev. CoP17), which: 1.

    “No Reason to Be Seen”: Cinema, Exploitation, and the Political by Gordon Sullivan B.A., University of Central Florida, 2004 M.A., North Carolina State University, 2007 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2017 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH THE KENNETH P. DIETRICH SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Gordon Sullivan It was defended on October 20, 2017 and approved by Marcia Landy, Distinguished Professor, Department of English Jennifer Waldron, Associate Professor, Department of English Daniel Morgan, Associate Professor, Department of Cinema and Media Studies, University of Chicago Dissertation Advisor: Adam Lowenstein, Professor, Department of English ii Copyright © by Gordon Sullivan 2017 iii “NO REASON TO BE SEEN”: CINEMA, EXPLOITATION, AND THE POLITICAL Gordon Sullivan, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2017 This dissertation argues that we can best understand exploitation films as a mode of political cinema. Following the work of Peter Brooks on melodrama, the exploitation film is a mode concerned with spectacular violence and its relationship to the political, as defined by French philosopher Jacques Rancière. For Rancière, the political is an “intervention into the visible and sayable,” where members of a community who are otherwise uncounted come to be seen as part of the community through a “redistribution of the sensible.” This aesthetic rupture allows the demands of the formerly-invisible to be seen and considered. We can see this operation at work in the exploitation film, and by investigating a series of exploitation auteurs, we can augment our understanding of what Rancière means by the political.

For 45 years, he has been a major force, producing a prodigious and creative body of work that expands beyond jazz. Surman’s extensive discography as a leader and a side man numbers more than 100 recordings to date. Surman has worked with dozens of prominent artists worldwide, including John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Chris McGregor’s Brotherhood of Breath, Dave Holland, Miroslav Vitous, Jack DeJohnette, Terje Rypdal, Weather Report, Karin Krog, Bill Frisell, Paul Motian and many more. Surman is probably most popularly known for his longstanding association with the German label ECM, who began releasing Surman’s recordings in 1979. Surman has won numerous jazz polls and awards and a number of important commissions. Every period of his career is filled with highlights, which is why Cuneiform is exceedingly proud to release for the first time ever this amazing document of the late 60s 'Brit-jazz' scene. Born in Tavistock, in England, Surman discovered music as a child, singing as soprano soloist in a Plymouth-area choir. He later bought a second- hand clarinet, took lessons from a Royal Marine Band clarinetist, and began playing traditional Dixieland jazz at local jazz clubs.

Here’s how our numbering system works: The first digit (or letter) identifies the Series. Most guitar models within each series share the same back and side woods and appointment package. The second digit designates two things: first, whether the guitar is a 6-string or a 12-string, and second, whether the top features a softwood like spruce or cedar, or a hardwood like mahogany or koa. The middle number “1” or “2” designates a 6-string guitar with a softwood (1) or hardwood (2) top. For example: 516ce = 6-string with a spruce top 526ce = 6-string with a mahogany top The middle number “5” or “6” designates a 12-string guitar with either a soft (5) or hardwood (6) top. 516ce In this case: 552ce = 12-string with a cedar top 562ce = 12-string with a mahogany top Taylor nylon-string models are integrated into various series and are designated by the letter “N” at the end of the model name.

  • I Attended Church Several Times on Sunday Mornings at University Methodist at the Corner of Guadalupe and 24Thstreets
    First Encounter During the time I was in Austin as a UT grad student (1955-57) I attended church several times on Sunday mornings at University Methodist at the corner of Guadalupe and 24thstreets. In the fall of 1956 I also investigated programs at Wesley Foundation, the Methodist Church chaplaincy division for students. After the first session I attended, the larger group broke up into smaller “interest groups.” Many went with a leader who seemed quite popular (I later learned his name was Bob Ledbetter). I joined a smaller group (about six or eight people) led by an associate pastor at University Methodist, the Rev. Richardson. We’d discuss art in religion, particularly various paintings of the image of Jesus. Two in particular that I remember we looked at were the famous Salmon’s Head of Christ and another painted by the French artist Georges Roualt. For both paintings the Rev. Richardson conducted what I’d later realize to be an “art form” conversation. Obviously, although I didn’t know it at the time, he’d had contact with Austin’s Christian Faith and Life Community and its charismatic theological director, Joseph W. Mathews. In the conversation our study group came to the conclusion that Salmon’s painting was sentimental and schmaltzy and that Roualt’s (“Christ Mocked by Soldiers”) was more powerful. Ecumenical Institute Introduction As a grad student at the University of Minnesota (1961-67) I attended the of First Methodist Church and Wesley Foundation. A Mrs. Peel had left money in her will to bring to the church each year a special preacher.
