    MINUTES OF THE ESBN PLENARY MEETING (2009) Date: 14-16 September; 2009 Place: Gödöllő - Budapest Participants: see annexed list. The plenary meeting of 2009 consisted of two consecutive events: A) The first two days of the meeting dealt with issues directly linked to the activities of the ESBN. B) The third day of the meeting was dedicated to the conference “Bridging the centuries 1909-2009”. A) ANNUAL PLENARY MEETING Based on the program agreed among the members, the plenary meeting started with a welcome messages and tour de table. The report of the ESBN Steering Committee was presented by Arnold Arnoldussen (chairman of the SC). A new member to the Steering Committee has been elected next. The agenda continued with the introduction of soil related activities in the JRC in 2009-2010 (by Luca Montanarella). The bulk of the program has been dedicated to the overview of activities of the ESBN working groups and three specific topics of discussion. Further to ESBN topics, presentations on national soil protection legislation (Hungary) and soil survey (USA) have been delivered to the plenary. Other businesses were discussed to conclude the session. 1. Report of the Steering Committee and discussion An introduction about the contacts with the EIONET were given as well as about the setting up of an editorial board for ESBN publications. 1 During the discussion of the report several questions and comments have been raised and general consensus was formed on the need: − for proactively drive soil related international research and policy agenda (WE, AA, HM, WB) including forecasting future problems and providing elimination plan (HM); − to highlight linkages between soil and water quality (GyV); − defining activities on different time-scales, e.g.

  • Joni Mitchell," 1966-74
    "All Pink and Clean and Full of Wonder?" Gendering "Joni Mitchell," 1966-74 Stuart Henderson Just before our love got lost you said: "I am as constant as a northern star." And I said: "Constantly in the darkness - Where 5 that at? Ifyou want me I'll be in the bar. " - "A Case of You," 1971 Joni Mitchell has always been difficult to categorize. A folksinger, a poet, a wife, a Canadian, a mother, a party girl, a rock star, a hermit, a jazz singer, a hippie, a painter: any or all of these descriptions could apply at any given time. Moreover, her musicianship, at once reminiscent of jazz, folk, blues, rock 'n' roll, even torch songs, has never lent itself to easy categorization. Through each successive stage of her career, her songwriting has grown ever more sincere and ever less predictable; she has, at every turn, re-figured her public persona, belied expectations, confounded those fans and critics who thought they knew who she was. And it has always been precisely here, between observers' expec- tations and her performance, that we find contested terrain. At stake in the late 1960s and early 1970s was the central concern for both the artist and her audience that "Joni Mitchell" was a stable identity which could be categorized, recognized, and understood. What came across as insta- bility to her fans and observers was born of Mitchell's view that the honest reflection of growth and transformation is the basic necessity of artistic expres- sion. As she explained in 1979: You have two options.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    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.

  • EHF Annual Report 2010 9.2 MB
    What a special feeling! French captain Jérôme Fernandez lifts the EHF EURO plate in Vienna on the 31st January 2010. FROM THE PRESIDENT The year 2010 has been one of intense work and of momentous achievement for the EHF. Just before reaching its twentieth year of existence, the European Handball Federation has implemented a concept that had been in the air for some time: a FINAL4 to crown the Champions League Season. The event, perfectly organised in the LANXESS Arena in Cologne at the end of May was a resounding success. It did not only mean an improvement in the structure of the competition; it also corresponded to a new approach in the field of handball event organisation. The signing on of Stefan Lövgren as FINAL4 ambassador, the communication strategy prior to the event, the flags and banners in the City of Cologne, the production of the Trophy by renowned artists and its completion and presentation in the presence of the audience all contributed to the buildup of an extremely high level of expectations and interest. The sport event itself certainly was no disappointment to anyone: Tor Lian a full house, a fantastic atmosphere, an incredible media interest and, above all, fascinating games EHF President only left each and everyone with wonderful memories and a wish to be part of the next edition. The success of the organisation and the event speaks volumes about the EHF ‘s daughter company: EHF Marketing GmbH. This company, totally in the ownership and control of the EHF was a bet when it was founded.

    ÖBKT JAAROVERZICHT 1987 DEELl .RAAD VAN BEHEER .RADIO .TELEVISE Jaaroverzicht 1987. TEN GELEIDE In 1987 heeft de BRT voor zichzelf duidelijk willen uitmaken wat de taak van de openbare omroep in Vlaanderen voor de ko­ mende jaren moet zijn, en wat er nodig is om in vergelijking met vergelijkbare omroepen uit het vergelijkbare buitenland een behoorlijk figuur te slaan. Daarvoor werden realistisch geachte vijfjarenplannen opgesteld. De BRT bereidde zich op de uitdaging van de toekomst voor. Uitgaande van de meest gangbare filosofie terzake en zich gesteund voelend door krachtdadige uitspraken van gezagheb­ bende instanties die een goed functionerende en adequaat ge­ financierde openbare omroep als een conditio sine qua non voor grondige wijzigingen in het mediabestel beschouwen, heeft de BRT gemeend te moeten stellen dat een fatsoenlijke invulling van zijn informerende, vormende en ontspannende opdracht een minimaal bedrag van 7,5 miljard Bfr. vereist, wat toevallig overeenkomt met 75 % van het momenteel in Vlaanderen geïnde kijk- en luistergeld. In 1987 kreeg de BRT daar 52 % van. (Ter illustratie : de Deense omroep DR, werkend voor een bevolking die ongeveer even groot is als de Vlaamse, maar met bijna 1000 tv-uren en 10.000 radio-uren minder dan de BRT, beschikte over bijna tweemaal het inkomen van de BRT). De Nederlandse omroep heeft een budget van ingeveer 20 miljard frank; de BRT beschikt over 5,4 miljard om ook twee tv- netten en vijf radionetten te vullen. Toch is de BRT er jaar na jaar in geslaagd zonder deficit te eindigen. Het budget werd met uiterste zorg beheerd. Van de Doorlichting, die gevraagd was om na te gaan of de BRT zijn mensen en middelen wel efficiënt genoeg gebruikt, werd het eindrapport in maart 1987 ingediend.

  • Prestige Label Discography
    Discography of the Prestige Labels Robert S. Weinstock started the New Jazz label in 1949 in New York City. The Prestige label was started shortly afterwards. Originaly the labels were located at 446 West 50th Street, in 1950 the company was moved to 782 Eighth Avenue. Prestige made a couple more moves in New York City but by 1958 it was located at its more familiar address of 203 South Washington Avenue in Bergenfield, New Jersey. Prestige recorded jazz, folk and rhythm and blues. The New Jazz label issued jazz and was used for a few 10 inch album releases in 1954 and then again for as series of 12 inch albums starting in 1958 and continuing until 1964. The artists on New Jazz were interchangeable with those on the Prestige label and after 1964 the New Jazz label name was dropped. Early on, Weinstock used various New York City recording studios including Nola and Beltone, but he soon started using the Rudy van Gelder studio in Hackensack New Jersey almost exclusively. Rudy van Gelder moved his studio to Englewood Cliffs New Jersey in 1959, which was close to the Prestige office in Bergenfield. Producers for the label, in addition to Weinstock, were Chris Albertson, Ozzie Cadena, Esmond Edwards, Ira Gitler, Cal Lampley Bob Porter and Don Schlitten. Rudy van Gelder engineered most of the Prestige recordings of the 1950’s and 60’s. The line-up of jazz artists on Prestige was impressive, including Gene Ammons, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin, Art Farmer, Red Garland, Wardell Gray, Richard “Groove” Holmes, Milt Jackson and the Modern Jazz Quartet, “Brother” Jack McDuff, Jackie McLean, Thelonious Monk, Don Patterson, Sonny Rollins, Shirley Scott, Sonny Stitt and Mal Waldron.
