FY14 Tappin' Study Guide
Student Matinee Series Maurice Hines is Tappin’ Thru Life Study Guide Created by Miller Grove High School Drama Class of Joyce Scott As part of the Alliance Theatre Institute for Educators and Teaching Artists’ Dramaturgy by Students Under the guidance of Teaching Artist Barry Stewart Mann Maurice Hines is Tappin’ Thru Life was produced at the Arena Theatre in Washington, DC, from Nov. 15 to Dec. 29, 2013 The Alliance Theatre Production runs from April 2 to May 4, 2014 The production will travel to Beverly Hills, California from May 9-24, 2014, and to the Cleveland Playhouse from May 30 to June 29, 2014. Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is . -

Michael Jackson's Thriller
MICHAEL JACKSON'S THRILLER Level: Intermediate to Advanced Time required: about 60 minutes SETTING THE ATMOSPHERE. Ask students some of these questions: • Do you believe in ghosts? Do you know any stories about ghosts? • Has anything ever happened to you that you cannot explain? • Do you believe that vampires or zombies exist? • What is the most frightening experience you have had? THE VIDEO. Ask students if they know who Michael Jackson was. Can they name any of his songs? Most probably students will know who Michael Jackson know and will have probably mention the song "Thriller". If you deem it appropriate, you can give students some information about this video like for example that it was voted the most influential pop video of all. More information about the video https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson%27s_Thriller_(music_video) The video lasts about 13 minutes. It is going to be divided into two parts, with a different task for each part . TASK 1 . Dictation (from the beginning to 4.40) Tell students they are going to see the first part of the video where there is a dialogue between Michael Jackson and his girlfriend. • Have the students work in pairs. Half the pairs in the class will write down the part of Michael Jackson and the other half the part of the girlfriend. • I suggest you give students the beginning of the dialogue as M. Jackson's first sentence might be difficult to understand M. Jackson: Honestly, we’re out of gas. Girlfriend: So, what are we going to do now? • You might need to play it twice. -

Michael Jackson the Man and the Message
Michael Jackson The Man and the Message Getting to know his greatest concerns through his own words “I really do wish people could understand me some day.” Michael Jackson The following text consists of quotes that are taken from radio and TV interviews, speeches and public statements, poems and reflections, song lyrics, handwritten notes and letters. The earliest quote is from 1972, the latest from 2009. Since the media rather concentrated on questions in terms of gossip and scandal, this compilation should provide an opportunity to get a more complete impression of Michael Jackson's message and his most important concerns... L O V E There are two kinds of music. One comes from the strings of a guitar, the other from the strings of the heart. One sound comes from a chamber orchestra, the other from the beating of the heart's chamber. One comes from an instrument of graphite and wood, the other from an organ of flesh and blood. This loftier music [...] is more pleasing than the notes of the most gifted composers, more moving than a marching band, more harmonious than a thousand voices joined in hymn and more powerful than all the world's percussion instruments combined. That is the sweet sound of love. Human knowledge consists not only of libraries of parchment and ink – it is also comprised of the volumes of knowledge that are written on the human heart, chiseled on the human soul, and engraved on the human psyche. Food is something we all need physically, but so is love, the deeper nourishment, that turns us into who we are. -

Richer Connections to Robotics Through Project Personalization
Advances in Engineering Education SUMMER 2012 Richer Connections to Robotics through Project Personalization MELANIE VELTMAN VALERIE DAVIDSON and BETHANY DEYELL University of Guelph Guelph, Ontario, Canada ABSTRACT In this work, we describe youth outreach activities carried out under the Chair for Women in Science and Engineering for Ontario (CWSE-ON) program. Specifi cally, we outline our design and implementation of robotics workshops to introduce and engage middle and secondary school students in engineering and computer science. Toward the goal of increasing the participation of women in science and engineering, our workshop design incorporates strategies presented in work by Rusk et al. (2008) on broadening participation in robotics: 1. focusing on themes, not just challenges; 2. combining art and engineering; 3. encouraging story-telling; and 4. organizing exhibitions, rather than competitions (Rusk et al., 2008, page 1) We discuss three workshop themes designed to highlight creativity and provide choices to par- ticipants. Our “Wild in the Rainforest” workshops make use of the PicoCrickets robotics kits and software used and described by Rusk et al. (2008). We also present Lego Mindstorms workshops themed “So You Think Your Robot Can Dance” and “A Day at the Park”. Our workshops are presented by female role models with academic backgrounds in science and engineering. Although workshop periods are fairly short (60-90 minutes), participants learn that robots have perception, cognition, and action – and are tasked with designing and programming to highlight these abilities. We present the results of our workshops through images and videos of the teams’ creations. Workshop evalu- ation data provided by participants demonstrate that our approach results in rich connections to engineering and technology for participants of both genders. -
Ireland in the 1990S
WHEN UNEMPLOYMENT DISAPPEARS: IRELAND IN THE 1990S BRENDAN WALSH CESIFO WORKING PAPER NO. 856 CATEGORY 4: LABOUR MARKETS FEBRUARY 2003 PRESENTED AT CESIFO CONFERENCE ON UNEMPLOYMENT IN EUROPE: REASONS AND REMEDIES, DECEMBER 2002 An electronic version of the paper may be downloaded • from the SSRN website: www.SSRN.com • from the CESifo website: www.CESifo.de CESifo Working Paper No. 856 WHEN UNEMPLOYMENT DISAPPEARS: IRELAND IN THE 1990S Abstract This paper examines the behaviour of the Irish labour market during the 1990s. Over the course of the decade the Irish unemployment rate fell from the highest to the lowest in the EU. Over the same period a record number of jobs was created and all the indicators suggest that full employment was achieved. The primary reason for this “employment miracle” was the output boom, which in turn may be attributed to Ireland’s “super competitiveness” in the late 1990s. Several factors contributed to this – a low exchange rate, the inflow of FDI to high productivity sectors, and wage moderation following the return to centralised wage agreements in 1987. Labour market reforms, including a tightening of the social welfare regime and a switch of spending from income support to active labour market policies, played a positive role. The fact that unemployment has risen only slowly during the current downturn points to the lasting effect of these changes. JEL Code: J4, J3, N3. Brendan M.
