Packed with articles and information that you won't find anywhere else, Historical Diver Magazine is definitely a significant benefit-but it's far from the only one. And the benefits keep growing as the Society does. Right now, I'm really excited about a program that lets members present their historical equipment in professional, museum-quality displays at dive shows and other sites around the country. With support from Mares America, the Society will have a "mobile museum" at the Discover Diving Expo's in Santa Clara, California; Atlanta, Georgia, and Dallas, Texas, for at least the next two years, and we hope to be able to make it available at other shows and special events across the country. At its debut in Dallas, the exhibit generated a steady stream of traffic. The "mobile museum" is a great way to promote the Society and to educate divers and non-divers alike about our heritage in the sea, but if it's going to be a success, you need to be a part of it. How can you get involved? If you're reading this magazine, I'd be willing to bet that you own at least one piece of classic equipment that you'd be interested in loaning or donating to the mobile museum.

Course Number Year 0/tf I Yl~t1--~ Student signature Instructor signature ~a.~Adviser signature 1 Drawing Upon Themselves: Women's Self-Portraits in a Man's World A man can do well depending only upon himself and can brave public opinion; but a woman who has done well has only accomplished half her task; for what others think of her counts no less than what she in fact is (Radisch 441 ). As long as people who call themselves artists have depicted others, they have also created images of themselves. As far back as Hildegaard von Bingen in the twelfth century, and probably before, almost every artist or artisan who has picked up a pen, a brush, or a chisel has been concerned with the depiction of self. Male artists have had the ability to present themselves as they are, as subject and artist, without a division between the two. Women artists have historically traveled a slightly different, and considerably rougher path than their male counterparts.

  • The Love of John Lennon's Life - and It Wasn't Cynthia Or Yoko
    The Love Of John Lennon's Life - And It Wasn't Cynthia or Yoko Written by Andy Owen It was January 12th 1964. The Beatles were rehearsing at the London Palladium for their appearance that evening, on the top TV show, Val Parnell's Sunday Night at the London Palladium. They had first appeared on the show on October 13th 1963. But, only three months on from that debut, a massive change had taken place. Their profile had gone supersonic in that short time - as the scenes outside the theatre had shown. 'Beatlemania' was in full swing. Argyll Street was wall-to-wall with noisy Beatles fans from early morning. And they stayed there all day... 1 Their incredible popularity was also reflected in their fee for that performance - which had risen from £250 to £1,000. The Beatles topped the bill, which was broadcast at prime time, from 8.25pm to 9.25pm. Sunday Night At The London Palladium was an ATV show and attracted enormous viewing figures in the UK. The show was compèred by Bruce Forsyth - and all the acts appeared live. After doing a short skit with Bruce Forsyth earlier, the group closed the show with a five-song set - I Want to Hold You Hand, This Boy, All My Loving, Money and Twist and Shout. Also on the bill that night, were singer Alma Cogan and comedian Dave Allen. This was the first time The Beatles had met Alma Cogan. Alma was a big star in her own right and extremely popular. She was called the "Girl with the Giggle in Her Voice" and she had been the highest paid British female entertainer of her era.

  • The Concert of the Animals & Friends, Muzyczna Owczarnia, Szczawnica
    The concert of the Animals & Friends, Muzyczna Owczarnia, Szczawnica-Jaworki, 10th and 11th April 2016. This place is magical, here we can all be together, No matter who we are, no matter where we come from, Here peace and goodwill fills the air, here we are closer to God, While the music brings us together in joy. Even the most abstractive dreams come true. When I read on the website of Muzyczna Owczarnia that the Animals & Friends would perform at Wietek Kołodziejski, I could not believe that. Theoretical and practical thoughts ran through my mind as quickly as lightning, and then I called Wietek to ask him for a ticket and to Grzegorz Kasprzyk to book accommodation at his Koliba (chalet). Muzyczna Owczarnia. The interest was so high that there were two concerts: on Sunday 10th and on Monday 11th. I arrived in Jaworki on Saturday to tune myself in this emotional atmosphere:) Sylwia, Wietk’s wife, had everything ready. The musicians came on Sunday at 3 p.m. with Łukasz Gorczyca and Sebastian Kowol. Their presence was meaningful so there is a short mention about them. Łukasz Gorczyca - basist, composer, author of numerous projects, known from cooperation with many famous domestic and foreign musicians. There are among others: Patsy Gamble, Jennifer Batten, Terry Man, Andy Egert, Wheatbread Johnson, Griff Hamlin, Barry Richman, Alvon Johnson, Keith Thompson, Rob Tognoni, Risto Toppola, Chuck Frazier, Kellie Rucker, Billy Hamilton, Chaz de Paolo, Alex Rossi, Grainne Duffy, Ian Sands Blues Band, Krissy Matthews, Dave Ellis Blues Band, Janet Robin, Leon Hendrix, Noel Coutts.

  • [TRACK 3: SURVIVOR STORIES: COMMUNICATING] John, Part I
    [TRACK 3: SURVIVOR STORIES: COMMUNICATING] John, Part I [John] When my wife, Susan, was diagnosed with breast cancer we both went into shock. I felt angry and scared all at once, but I didn't think I should tell her. I didn't want her to worry about my feelings, too. The whole thing has taken a lot out of both of us. But, we've found out that it really does help to talk about it. [Narrator] Communicating, which involves sharing information and sharing feelings, is an important skill for everyone dealing with cancer. Yet, many studies confirm what people often say: Communication can be difficult for many cancer survivors and their caregivers. Those who care about each other may not want to share the strong feelings that come with a diagnosis of cancer, and these feelings may make it hard to talk about the questions and concerns they have with doctors, friends - even their own family members. The “Communicating” program in the Cancer Survival Toolbox teaches the communication skills of being assertive, using "I" statements, active listening, and expressing feelings. In that program, we review how you can use communication skills to improve your well-being, because when your well-being is maintained, you can do a better job of helping to maintain the well-being of those you care for. Let's hear how John used the communications skill, assertiveness, to solve a problem. [John] When Susan first got cancer and we were figuring out what we needed to do to keep our family going, I tried to avoid telling people at work about it.

  • The Beatles and the Crisis of Self-Identity
    Sosland Journal 77 THE BEATLES AND THE CRISIS OF SELF-IDENTITY Jared Gutzmer “Ringo- a lovely performer. George- a mystical unre- alized talent. But John and Paul, Saints John and Paul, were, and made, and aureoled and beatifi ed and eternalized the concept that shall always be known, remembered and deeply loved as The Beatles” -Leonard Bernstein The Beatles are one of the most popular bands of all time. This is an undisputed fact no matter the location. They were so popular that in America, they had to stop touring due to the screaming fans which caused the band not to be able to hear themselves. Never before was there a group that was so incredibly popular in history. This popularity and other fac- tors led the members of the Beatles to change as individuals and as a group as they matured musically and mentally. Their identity shifted from a group identity to a self-identity. From the Beatles fi rst album, Please Please Me, to their last, Let It Be, the shift in their identity can be seen through their music and the appearances that led to individualism and eventually their downfall. 78 Sosland Journal The Music “It would not seem quite so likely that the accompany- ing fever known as Beatlemania will also be success- fully exported. On this side of the Atlantic it is dazed stuff.” -Jack Gould, New York Times television critic The Beatles music and lyrics changed drastically from their fi rst to last album due to adapting to a changing soci- ety, musical maturity, and their increased popularity.

  • FINAL FINAL Draft
    Copyright by James Roslyn Jesson 2010 The Dissertation Committee for James Roslyn Jesson certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Radio Texts: The Broadcast Drama of Orson Welles, Dylan Thomas, Samuel Beckett, and Tom Stoppard Committee: ___________________________________ Alan Friedman, Supervisor ___________________________________ Elizabeth Cullingford ___________________________________ Michael Kackman ___________________________________ James Loehlin ___________________________________ Elizabeth Richmond-Garza Radio Texts: The Broadcast Drama of Orson Welles, Dylan Thomas, Samuel Beckett, and Tom Stoppard by James Roslyn Jesson, B.A.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August 2010 Acknowledgements I owe many people thanks for their encouragement and support during this project. I could not ask for a more generous and helpful committee. Alan Friedman introduced me to the drama of Samuel Beckett and shaped my understanding of Beckett’s approaches to writing and performance. Early in my graduate career he assured me that I could say something original about Beckett’s radio plays, and his praise for my work encouraged me to expand my focus to other authors’ radio drama. Over six years, Alan has been unfailingly supportive and generous with his time and advice on all matters academic and professional. Like Alan, James Loehlin has been a careful reader who has taught me much about my writing. I was inspired by his teaching in two seminars, and his guidance as the director of my Masters Report shaped my scholarship significantly.

    Issue 142 AUGUST 2ND, 2021 Is there a reader among us who doesn’t dig ZZ Top? We mourn the passing of Joseph Michael “Dusty” Hill (72), bassist, vocalist and keyboardist for the tres hombres. Blending blues, boogie, bone-crushing rock, born-for-MTV visuals, humor and outrageousness – they once took a passel of live animals on stage as part of their 1976 – 1977 Worldwide Texas Tour – Hill, drummer Frank Beard and guitarist Billy F. Gibbons have scorched stages worldwide. As a friend said, “it’s amazing how just three guys could make that much sound.” Rest in peace, Mr. Hill. In this issue: Anne E. Johnson gets inspired by the music of Renaissance composer William Byrd, and understands The Animals. Wayne Robins reviews Native Sons, the superb new album from Los Lobos. Ray Chelstowski interviews The Immediate Family, featuring studio legends Waddy Wachtel, Lee Sklar, Russ Kunkel and others, in an exclusive video interview. I offer up more confessions of a record collector. Tom Gibbs finds much to like in some new SACD discs. John Seetoo winds up his coverage of the Audio Engineering Society’s Spring 2021 AES show. Ken Sander travels through an alternate California reality. WL Woodward continues his series on troubadour Tom Waits. Russ Welton interviews cellist Jo Quail, who takes a unique approach to the instrument. In another article, he ponders what's needed for sustaining creativity. Adrian Wu looks at more of his favorite analog recordings. Cliff Chenfeld turns us on to some outstanding new music in his latest Be Here Now column.
