DESCRIPTORS Accident Prevention; *Consumer Protection; *Federal Legislation; Hearings; *Parks; Recreational Facilities; *Safety; *Toys IDENTIFIERS *Amusement Perks; *Animal Traps; Congress 98th; Consumer Product Safety Commission; Toy Safety; Trapping ABSTRACT , In these hearings consideration was given to: the Toy Safety Act of 1984, House Resolution (H.R.) 5630 (May 31, 1984); H.R. 1797, concerning steel-jaw leghold traps (August 3, 1984); and House Resolutions concerning amusement park safety (H.R. 5788, 5790, and 5982 (August 6, 1984). The Toy Safety Act of 1984 amends the Federal Hazardous Substances Act to enable the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to quickly recall dangerous toys and other articles used by children. The Act authorizes the CPSC to give public notice about any toy posing a substantial risk to children and empowers.the agency to order the toy manufacturer to repair, replace, or give a refund for the hazardous toy. Testimony concerns examples of recalled products and possible amendments to the Act. H.R. 1797 would prohibit shipment in interstate commerce of any fur taken from an animal caught in a steel-jaw leghold trap, prohibit export or import of such furs, and impose fines and prison terms for violation of the legislation. Legislation concerning amusement park safety would restore jurisdiction of the CPSC over the rides located in amusement parks. H.R. 5788, 5790, and 5982 respectively, amend the Consumer Product Safety Act to make that Act applicable to amusement devices permanently fixed to a site, to strengthen the authority of the CPSC over amusement devices, and to strengthen the authority of the CPSC over amusement parks.

    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.

    SO Many Animals' Lives Are in Our Hands

    SO MANY ANIMALS’ LIVES ARE IN OUR HANDS Please help us protect them, now and into the future www.networkforanimals.org Would you please consider making a legacy to Network for Animals, the organisation I have the privilege to lead and which you so generously support. I strongly believe, however, that it would be helpful to your decision making if you knew more about me. British born, I emigrated to Canada when I was twenty and became deeplyinvolved in animal welfare issues, first as a volunteer, then as an employee of the New Brunswick SPCA. This led to government officials asking me to observe Canada’s annual white-coat baby seal hunt and tell them how it could be made humane. Shocked at what I witnessed, as seal after seal was skinned alive, I reported that it could never, ever be made humane, that it should be banned and the fishermen involved found other work. The rejection of my advice launched me on a personal crusade against cruelty that has shaped my life. I had no choice! In the legacy pack accompanying this, I attempt to give you a very, very brief synopsis of what I have done in the past with the help of good, kind people just like you (the best of the best) and what I hope to achieve in the years to come. First and foremost, I want to see Network for Animals and its passionate and dedicated staff provided with the resources to fuel their own crusades against cruelty in the years ahead. A critical component of future funding must come from legacies from devoted animal lovers like you and my wife Gloria and I.
