That announcement came on Friday, March 12. By Monday, March 15, Notre Dame & St. Mary‟s were already in full remote learning mode. Remote learning took place for the rest of the 2019-2020 school year with students, teachers, administrators, and parents adapting quickly to the technology needed in order for teaching and learning to take place within the confines of everyone‟s Britton Named WV Notre Dame & St. Mary’s homes.

  • "Some Things I Think I Think"
    Railbuff or "Some Things I Think I Think" Compiled by Phil Musick, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Courtesy of Fort Vance Historical Society 1 RAILBUFF Or 11SOME THINGS I THINK I THINK" * *coined by Phil Musick, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette I have been a railfan or railbuff, whatever those terms mean, for 65 years, although I am not comfortable with such labels. Admittedly, there was never a time when I would let a train go by without looking at it. You might say my dad got me into this spectator sport but I think it was more than him just taking me out to see trains. Really, I had an inherent interest in heavy machinery and things mechanical which would have surfaced regardless of what Dad did or didn't do in the way of exposing me to those things. It wasn't so much a learned trait as an instinctual one. On a deeper level, I have no doubt I inherited my dad's genes, which gave me the inclinations I had. Dad was a romantic. He was an interior person whose soul was stirred by images of men in positions of power, visibility and glory. It was not so much that he wanted to be doing what they did. It was that he wanted to watch them doing it. Dad 2 Dad's earliest fascination was with aviation in the 1920's. The town in which he grew up, Bridgeville, PA had one of the region's earliest airports in Mayer's Field. He loved the open cockpit biplanes of first world war lineage that flew 60 miles per hour · and landed at 35.

Honors Theses. 25. https://repository.belmont.edu/honors_theses/25 This Honors Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Belmont Honors Program at Belmont Digital Repository. It has been accepted for inclusion in Honors Theses by an authorized administrator of Belmont Digital Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. 1 2 Abstract As a fledgling artist, my purpose in the creation of this album was to undergo a deconstructive experience that enabled me to explore formative events in my life that have contributed to who I am today, especially in regards to my aesthetic preferences as an artist and my personal views of the world. The results of this deconstruction are the ten paired songs and images that compose this thesis. My hope is that each song and image work together to encapsulate the event itself and present my emotional climate during the time at which it occurred, and that my audience is prompted by the choice I have made to evaluate my journey to consider the many individual moments that make up each of their own. The primary thematic focus of the album is on how I have been affected by my relationships with others. In other words, the role that different types of love have played in my life thus far.

  • The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers
    THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS Good films—those that e1ectively communicate the desired message—are the result of an almost magical blend of ideas and technological ingredients. And with an understanding of the tools and techniques available to the filmmaker, you can truly realize your vision. The “idea” ingredient is well documented, for beginner and professional alike. Books covering virtually all aspects of the aesthetics and mechanics of filmmaking abound—how to choose an appropriate film style, the importance of sound, how to write an e1ective film script, the basic elements of visual continuity, etc. Although equally important, becoming fluent with the technological aspects of filmmaking can be intimidating. With that in mind, we have produced this book, The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers. In it you will find technical information—about light meters, cameras, light, film selection, postproduction, and workflows—in an easy-to-read- and-apply format. Ours is a business that’s more than 100 years old, and from the beginning, Kodak has recognized that cinema is a form of artistic expression. Today’s cinematographers have at their disposal a variety of tools to assist them in manipulating and fine-tuning their images. And with all the changes taking place in film, digital, and hybrid technologies, you are involved with the entertainment industry at one of its most dynamic times. As you enter the exciting world of cinematography, remember that Kodak is an absolute treasure trove of information, and we are here to assist you in your journey.

  • TEACHERS' PERSPECTIVES of CAREER-STAGE APPROPRIATENESS of PROFESSIONAL LEARNING PROGRAMS by ANNA GRACE PUMA RINALDI (Under
    TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVES OF CAREER-STAGE APPROPRIATENESS OF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING PROGRAMS by ANNA GRACE PUMA RINALDI (Under the direction of Reba Jo Blase) ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to describe teachers’ perspectives regarding career- stage appropriateness of professional growth opportunities offered in one countywide school system in southeastern United States. Symbolic interactionism was the theoretical framework of the study, and the methodology was grounded theory. Face-to-face interviews were the primary data source. Constant comparative analysis was used to analyze the data and to generate theory grounded in the data. Data revealed that teachers interviewed for this study believed that career-stage appropriate professional learning is designed around three elements. The teachers believed that professional learning is career-stage appropriate when the participants are able to choose the content of their learning. The teachers also believed that professional learning is career-stage appropriate when it is delivered by an experienced educator. Finally, the teachers believed that career-stage appropriate professional learning uses active engagement as the primary delivery method. The study also revealed that in order for professional learning specialists to design career-stage appropriate professional learning, they must consider not only the characteristics of adult learning but also many other areas of adult development. Implications for future research are discussed, and implications for practitioners, as well as for

  • Cultural Heritage Roundtable Introductory Remarks
    Cultural heritage roundtable Introductory remarks 1 October 2020 BHP INVESTOR Edgar Basto, President Minerals Australia Hello everyone. I’m Edgar Basto. I am BHP’s President of Minerals Australia and am based in Perth, but currently in central Queensland. I am responsible for all of our mining operations across Australia. Thank you for joining us today. Joining me is Colin Johnston, Principal Indigenous Affairs and Dave Bunting, BHP’s Heritage Manager, who are both based in our Perth office, and Benjamin Proudfoot, Superintendent Heritage Coal from our Brisbane office. As you will be aware, on 11 June 2020, the Australian Federal Parliament convened a Parliamentary Inquiry into the events at Juukan Gorge and into legislative protection for Indigenous cultural heritage. BHP is participating in the Inquiry. We provided a written submission on the relevant legislation and agreed to appear and answer questions at an upcoming hearing of the Inquiry, which I think some of you probably have already reviewed. As I said when we spoke to the inquiry, we recognise that what has been lost with the Juukan Gorge event is not only a site of unique and living cultural heritage, but also a loss of trust. We understand that for many people, including in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, this incident can raise questions of trust not just for the individual company involved, but for our industry more broadly. BHP recognises that we need to be a constructive part of the response to this. It is an opportunity for us to lead the way and forge better relationships with Traditional Owners toward mutual benefit.
