    Prologue Science fiction stories always fascinated me, especially during my teen years. For many decades, I daydreamed and fantasized about the possibilities of revisiting past times, especially those of my youth. Now on the backside of middle age, I understand that my fascination is quite common. Much discussion regarding the possibilities of time travel is regularly seen on TV science programs and related web sites. They are also themes of numerous books and movies. This leads us to the reason for this narrative. This is a story I have only shared with a trusted few. If it became common knowledge I fear I would become the subject of much unwanted scrutiny. This scrutiny might also involve more than just the idle tongue wagging of the neighborhood gossips. Certainly it wouldn’t improve my quality of life. This is something I have no desire to deal with at my age. Now the simple truth is this, I have actually been involved in time travel. This is possible because of my introduction to a time portal to a parallel dimension. It would be more accurate to say parallel dimensions, because there are many more than just the one in which we live. Chapter 1 I never dreamed I would be involved in a series of events that if known by the general public, would have landed me in one of those secret government interrogation rooms you’d read about in some thriller novel. In a period of less than four months I experienced more sensory overload than in the past sixty- five years of my life.

  • Messages of American Popular Song to Women During World War II
    “I’m Doin’ It for Defense”: Messages of American Popular Song to Women during World War II A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music 2013 by Amy Brooks BM, Bob Jones University, 2008 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD Abstract World War II presented many new opportunities for American women. In this time of need, they were called upon to take an active part in the war effort, whether by means of working in a factory, growing a victory garden, or serving as a volunteer for wartime organizations. Women made great strides forward in areas such as the workforce and the military. The American popular song industry promoted these new roles for women. I have compiled over 150 songs from 1940 to1945 that relate to women’s roles during the World War II era. Of these songs, I have chosen a select number of songs that best demonstrate popular culture’s attitudes and actions towards women during the war. These songs can be divided into five categories: women in the military, women in the workforce, women’s war effort, women’s responsibilities to men in uniform, and women in the immediate post-war period. I have studied the representative songs by considering their lyrics to identify the objectives supported by the popular song industry. I took into consideration the venues in which they were presented and how these performances influenced their reception.

    BY KRISTA & BECCA RITCHIE * 1 * willow moore Rules: Complete the form by answering each section truthfully. Once you’ve finished, tag other users to complete the task. Begin by sourcing the person who tagged you. If I had real life best friends who enjoyed Tumblr, I’d type their usernames at the bottom. It’s hard finding people with common interests in Caribou, Maine—not that the place is all at fault. I’m to blame, as my father has told me. If you liked more girl things, you’d have more friends, Willow. If you actually went to a party like a normal girl, you’d have more friends, Willow. If you wore more makeup and made an effort, you’d have a boyfriend, Willow. If you stopped watching superhero cartoons, you’d have a boyfriend, Willow. Every girl your age has one. I inhale a deep breath and try to block out the peanut gallery that has nothing nice to say about my friendship circle of two (Maggie and me) and my lack of potential suitors. I just don’t understand why having a boyfriend in high school determines my worth. I feel fine. Until someone points out that I should be miserable. Because I’ve never been kissed. Because I like “boy things” and yes, I have only one real life friend. If I was brazen and loud-spoken, I’d tell my father to fuck off. I’m neither. In fact, I hurt by even thinking what I actually feel. I lick my lips and source the person who tagged me: maggiewidowss “Bye! Have a safe drive home!” The irregularly high-pitched voice emanates from downstairs, soon followed by a door shutting.

    THE SOUND OF EVERYTHING: REPRESENTING JUSTICE IN THE FAMILY NOVEL ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to The Honors Tutorial College Ohio University _______________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation from the Honors Tutorial College with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in English ______________________________________ by Daniel J. Kington April 2018 Table of Contents Introduction: Representing Justice in the Family Novel…………………………………. 3 The Sound of Everything…………………………………………………………………38 Kington 2 Representing Justice in the Family Novel Introduction When Upton Sinclair published The Jungle in 1906, exposing the dark side of the American meatpacking industry, the novel provoked immense public outrage and horror. The Jungle sold thousands of copies upon its release and was translated into 17 languages within a matter of months (Younge). The public reaction to Sinclair’s subject matter forced President Theodore Roosevelt to create a commission to investigate the abuses Sinclair documented, resulting in the passage of the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act, which, in turn, led to the creation of the Food and Drug Administration (Younge). Novelist and Trotskyist activist James T. Farrell later argued that The Jungle made “a lasting contribution to the struggle of the American worker for social justice and emancipation from wage slavery” and that “it introduced the ideas and aspirations of socialism into the main body of American literature.” Indeed, it is difficult to imagine a novel that has had such a dramatic impact on American popular consciousness and politics as The Jungle. Sinclair gained such influence that President Roosevelt reportedly advised The Jungle’s publisher to “Tell Mr Sinclair to go home and let me run the country for a while” (Younge).

  • Mr Paul Kelly
    Mr Paul Kelly Citation for conferral of Doctor of Arts (honoris causa) Ceremony 14, Tuesday 16 September 2014, 11:00am Chancellor, it gives me great pleasure to present to you Mr Paul Maurice Kelly. The Degree of Doctor of the University, DUniv (honoris causa) is being awarded to Paul Kelly to acknowledge his exceptionally distinguished service to society and to recognise his service to not just Australian music but also to creative writing, his significant collaborations with Indigenous Australian musicians and film makers, and his significant community service through nationally-profiled benefits and fund-raising concerts. Paul Kelly was born on 13 January 1955, the sixth of nine children, and raised in Adelaide, where he attended Rostrevor College and was dux of his graduating year. His father, John Kelly, a lawyer practising in Adelaide with the family firm, Kelly & Co Lawyers, died of Parkinson’s disease when Paul was 13 years old. His mother, Josephine, was the daughter of the internationally-renowned Argentinian baritone Count Ercole Filippini, a leading soloist with La Scala opera company, and his Australian opera-singer wife Anne McFarland, who is also known as Australia’s first female symphony opera conductor. The Filippinis were founders of the Italo-Australian Opera Company, well known in Australia in the 1920s. From this colourful classical music pedigree, Paul Kelly himself has emerged as one of Australia’s most gifted and celebrated contemporary singer/songwriters. Internationally renowned for his song compositions, creative writing and recorded music performances over a thirty- year period, he is regarded by his fellow international music industry professionals as without peer in Australia.

This study explores these changes, which have yielded both positive and negative cultural and developmental outcomes, as products of digital dissonance. Dissonance is characterized by the disruptive consequences inherent in technology’s incursion into the print publication cultures of the twentieth century, the explosion in social-media interaction that is changing the complexion of human contact, and our expanding reliance on the World Wide Web for negotiating commerce, culture, and communication.
