  • Our Union Fabriks: Studies in the Working Class Series Editors: Ingo Schmidt and Jeff Taylor
    Our Union Fabriks: Studies in the Working Class Series editors: Ingo Schmidt and Jeff Taylor Capital is dead labor. Karl Marx Fabriks: Studies in the Working Class provides a broad-based forum for labour studies research. Of particular interest are works that challenge familiar national and institutional narratives, focusing instead on gender-based, occupational, racial, and regional divisions among workers and on strategies for fostering working-class solidarity. The series also seeks to resurrect both social class analysis and the view of labour movements as a potentially liberating social force. It invites contributions not only from labour historians but from indus- trial relations scholars, political scientists, economists, sociologists and social movement theorists, and anyone else whose concerns lie with the history and organization of labour, its philosophical underpinnings, and the struggle for economic and social justice.

  • The Percussion Family 1 Table of Contents
    THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA WHAT IS AN ORCHESTRA? Student Learning Lab for The Percussion Family 1 Table of Contents PART 1: Let’s Meet the Percussion Family ...................... 3 PART 2: Let’s Listen to Nagoya Marimbas ...................... 6 PART 3: Music Learning Lab ................................................ 8 2 PART 1: Let’s Meet the Percussion Family An orchestra consists of musicians organized by instrument “family” groups. The four instrument families are: strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion. Today we are going to explore the percussion family. Get your tapping fingers and toes ready! The percussion family includes all of the instruments that are “struck” in some way. We have no official records of when humans first used percussion instruments, but from ancient times, drums have been used for tribal dances and for communications of all kinds. Today, there are more instruments in the percussion family than in any other. They can be grouped into two types: 1. Percussion instruments that make just one pitch. These include: Snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, tambourine, triangle, wood block, gong, maracas and castanets Triangle Castanets Tambourine Snare Drum Wood Block Gong Maracas Bass Drum Cymbals 3 2. Percussion instruments that play different pitches, even a melody. These include: Kettle drums (also called timpani), the xylophone (and marimba), orchestra bells, the celesta and the piano Piano Celesta Orchestra Bells Xylophone Kettle Drum How percussion instruments work There are several ways to get a percussion instrument to make a sound. You can strike some percussion instruments with a stick or mallet (snare drum, bass drum, kettle drum, triangle, xylophone); or with your hand (tambourine).

  • Item #Page # 14H)
    Agenda Item #Page # 14h) Appendix D Regional Partnerships London International Airport The City of London and the Southwest Economic Alliance have endorsed a strategy for a central intermodal facility to combine regional, national and International freight at the London International Airport. With the recent Federal authorization of the London International Airport as an International Transshipment Centre and the CanadalEuropean Union (EU) Open Skies agreement of passenger and airfreight access, the Greater London International Airport Authority, the City of London and SWEA are developing a comprehensive regional transportation plan to position Southwest Ontario as an international freight gateway. This proposal has also received endorsement from the London Chamber of Commerce. The provision of essential servicing and infrastructure investment in 2009 and 2010 will create construction jobs and continuing revenues. The London International Airport area is readily accessible from Highway 401 via Veterans Memorial Parkway. It includes substantial tracts of zoned, serviceable and available industrial land making it an ideal location for a multi-modaVtrans-shipment facility. The City of London is collaborating with the London Airport Authority on the planning, servicing and development of this area with a focus on transportation-related uses. Planned Pickering Airport Expansion and London Airport The Greater Toronto Airport Authority continues to propose plans to open a Pickering Airport facility on the assembled lands in the Eastern portion of the GTA. This plan is opposed by a variety of municipalities and citizen groups. A further advantage for the London airport is London’s capability to expand both as a passenger, but more importantly a cargo hub that could provide significant offloading of capacity from Pearson International and offer relief to the anticipated congestion.

  • Committee of the Whole Speed Limit Review
    JANUARY 28, 2014 Page 1 of 18 11 B.1 - CW ACTION COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE For meeting to be held on: Submitted by: For: January 28, 2014 Chris Traini Action County Engineer Subject: SPEED LIMIT REVIEW BACKGROUND County staff review speed limits on County roads from time to time based on changes to the roadside environment due to development, changes in the alignment of the road resulting from reconstruction, observations by staff, or by citizen, police or municipal request. ANALYSIS County staff is recommending the following speed limit adjustments: County Road 27 (Nissouri Road) & County Road 28 (Thorndale Road) - Thorndale: Significant commercial and residential development in Thorndale has resulted in increased traffic volumes, which necessitated the installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Nissouri and Thorndale Roads in 2012. It is recommended that the existing 50 km/hr zone at the west limit of Thorndale be extended past this intersection, and a new 60 km/hr zone be posted north and south of the intersection on Nissouri Road from the access to the industrial area to the new subdivision road intersection north of Thorndale Road. A citizen request to extend or reduce the posted speed limit to the east of Thorndale was reviewed but no changes are recommended at this time. County Road 15 (Carriage Road): A number of requests have been made from Middlesex OPP to reduce the 90 km/hr zone to a new speed limit of 80 km/hr. This would match the posted speed limit on the sections of road north of Longwoods Road and south of Littlewood Drive which are under the jurisdiction of Middlesex Centre.

  • A Nickel for Music in the Early 1900'S
    A Nickel for Music in the Early 1900’s © 2015 Rick Crandall Evolution of the American Orchestrion Leading to the Coinola SO “Super Orchestrion” The Genesis of Mechanical Music The idea of automatic musical devices can be traced back many centuries. The use of pinned barrels to operate organ pipes and percussion mechanisms (such as striking bells in a clock) was perfected long before the invention of the piano. These devices were later extended to operate music boxes, using a set of tuned metal teeth plucked by a rotating pinned cylinder or a perforated metal disc. Then pneumatically- controlled machines programmed from a punched paper roll became a new technology platform that enabled a much broader range of instrumentation and expression. During the period 1910 to 1925 the sophistication of automatic music instruments ramped up dramatically proving the great scalability of pneumatic actions and the responsiveness of air pressure and vacuum. Usually the piano was at the core but on larger machines a dozen or more additional instruments were added and controlled from increasingly complicated music rolls. An early example is the organ. The power for the notes is provided by air from a bellows, and the player device only has to operate a valve to control the available air. Internal view of the Coinola SO “orchestrion,” the For motive most instrumented of all American-made machines. power the Photo from The Golden Age of Automatic Instruments early ©2001 Arthur A. Reblitz, used with permission. instruments were hand -cranked and the music “program” was usually a pinned barrel. The 'player' device became viable in the 1870s.
