Fall is here, Whoosh, Whoosh the wind whistled roughly, Birds chirping to each other delightfully, The radiant Sun beams through the tangerine leaves Joyfully, Oh fall is Here. Fall is here, The cute animals gleefully gleaming at each other, Ginger colored squirrels devour coffee brown chestnuts, Children leaping playfully on the brown crisp leaves, Oh, I love fall. By: Shrikar Gandhesiri Give Us A Smile by Maria Lima You walk on the street alone, scared Scared because you were told Don't do that someone will hurt you Don't do that someone will try you Don't do that someone will get to you before we do Because we were told be "ladylike" There's nothing ladylike about the keys between my fingers Or the mace in my purse And there is not one thing that's ladylike about what they'd do to me if I didn't protect myself Its worse when the catcalls surround you Suffocating you with misogyny They only stop if you're walking with a man As if women aren't as powerful as them Who's to say we aren't more powerful That girl Jane you're telling to smile she used to be jake but if you knew that you'd call her a man That girl Gianna doesn't want to smile because her mother was just diagnosed I don't want to smile because I don't smile for YOU Oh and I don't dress for you And I don't put makeup on for you Its all for me So schools instead of sexualizing girls and telling them to dress "ladylike" Tell the boys they can't do everything they think Don't ask"but what were you wearing" Don't say"not all men" Of course not all men If it was the world would be scarier than it already is But those men who do that are the ones who tell you "Give us a smile" Monster by:Maria Lima It’s always there Looming over like the pale moonlight Whenever you fail It’s there It makes you miserable It never goes away As much as you try The monster It messes with you Makes you feel low Brings you down You try to suppress it It comes back Pushing it down It makes the monster stronger Hungrier for your sadness But you don't let it Don't let it destroy you For that monster always sticks around If you do Stand up and say you won't have it The monster “Nighttime” The trees glowed in the twilight sun The day was over and done However the night life had come to be And those who viewed it had a sight to see The creatures of all colors roamed the land Under the night sky they were so grand But they felt invisible amongst the night It felt as though they had no light But they were alive They had to thrive Because they were the creatures no one thought about The ones who did not shout The ones that fended for themselves But they scurried along bright as ever Because they only had one endeavor To live with pleasure To be one with the night is to be one underneath the light “Independent” They mean a lot It's worth a shot To risk things for them Even being dumb When life isn’t the same Its becomes lame Because everything is gone It becomes a con To live without it Is too much to ask Could it be like a flask Take one too many sips and you get addicted Fighting the urge Trying to purge Because at last Being independent is not a task By: Jayani Dutta “Why are you screaming?” one may ask Why I am rather melting from the sun’s bask. My painting can show many different things. Seeing something scary Or being shocked by what’s behind. A new deal at Sephora? Urban Outfitters? Or rather by the problems I see with my two eyes? The racism and hate? The abuse and terrible fate? The racism and hate? The abuse and terrible fate? Now don't take this the wrong way, I know this doesn’t happen all the time. But there are many more things like global and climate change that are definitely your crimes All the pollution and CO2 is getting the way And giving us more and more steaming hot rays I may be just a painting but now you know what I’m thinking So why don’t you fix these problems, that even though they don’t seem major to you Because soon, this “major” problem will affect you too. “Common Era” By: Rayan Hashmi It’s a common era. Full of good and full of terror But where are we going? Advancing or Destroying? Creating medicine, but creating guns for people who like toying? Sometimes I ask, “why can’t we stop?” Can we not create good with the expense of bad? The world runs on the same pattern, happy then sad. So that begs the question, does there have to be a consequence? Why does it feel like a pit that begins with bottomless? Can you live there without being discriminated? Or would a journey back to Earth be anticipated? Does the color of your skin matter there? Because here the prejudice is everywhere. So I have reached a conclusion But it will all end with just a dream. A dream where the world was peaceful. And a dream where it wasn’t so extreme. And I ask these questions along with the thought Don’t others think of this or do they let their ideas rot? People might not like it, but we need a change A change for humanity, a change for space. It would be easy if we all just stay on the same pace Why do we treat it like a competition when it’s not a race? I wonder how its like on the moon Is it happy or is it sad or is it run by buffoons It’s a Cruel World By: Ryna Asim We are ambitious while people are dying We think that we can achieve success by lying We boast our best times and laugh at others’ worsts Time is ticking like the clock that chimes We feel sorrow for others that die Yet others are indifferent to poor lives We strive on wealth and power We think that we tower above all others We forget that Earth is made up of a variety of life People slaughter the innocent with a knife Some think of ending their own lives Because of someone who says too much Someone should act fast But no People are cowards No one stands up for one another Indifference is a motto in this cruel world Not caring about others Love is your weakness We mourn for our lost loved ones We cry But eventually, we all die Now, it may seem depressing But we all know it’s not a lie Total Chaos By: Ryna Asim Scary Nights No stars No light No sign of civilization No more forestation Pollution has invaded the lungs People have started to run Everything’s gone Everyone has broken bonds Friends have turned on friends Families have turned on Families People have turned on other people What’s left? Well, just the animals really The only sign of innocence and civilization Even more than the humans What a shame Oh what a shame Because of this People are all alone Children are hiding People are fighting And little are surviving It’s total chaos out there Civilization is in ruins People are dead People have fled The future has come to an end. “Light At The End Of The Tunnel” I used to ponder Why couldn’t I fly Somewhere else Into the sky Into some elysium Some place faraway Instead of my broken home Which I stay Thus I cannot This is where I be Where mommy’s at work And dad I never see Dad ran away last year He would hit her and lie I never loved him But I would still cry Life was meaningless All my energy into the course I pushed through all the obstacles With all my force But I’m grateful For there are those who love me But it wouldn’t make me human If I hadn’t dreamed about what was above me Then again I wanted to get out of this place Have a new arc Have a new face So as I roused From my waking slumber All my dreams and aspirations They went back under My day dream stopped I stepped back to reality I hated it so much Called it a tragedy I got on my knees Wanted to cry Pleaded to god Wishing I would die But then my family came And sat with me They love me so Love is tenderly They showered me with kisses As the frown came off my face As they hugged me tighter I accepted their embrace Then the rain clouds They scattered away As if the curtains had fell And the sun illuminated the place So no matter where you are And life may look like an endless struggle Pain is only temporary As there is always light at the end of the tunnel By: Shakil Ashrafi “Keep Trying” I try So hard To let everything in Because I know the importance of feeling Of touch Of trust Of hope But it’s not always easy letting it in But I try And try But how do I teach the people around me That the sadness is good And the laughter is better And that faith makes life worth living That feeling ways you’ve never felt isn’t dangerous It’s far from it It’s being free It’s living free It’s feeling the touch of light with open arms And hugging the moon light at night That gives life its charm It’s watching the birds fly south for winter And seeing them

  • The Deep Purple Tributes
    [% META title = 'The Deep Purple Discography' %] The Deep Purple Tributes Here we will try to keep a list of known Deep Purple tributes -- full CDs only. (Covers of individual tracks are listed elsewhere.) The list is still not complete, but hopefully it will be in the future. Funky Junction Plays a Tribute to Deep Purple UK 1973 Stereo Gold Award MER 373 [1LP] Purple Tracks Performed by Eric Bell (guitar), Brian Downey (drums), Dave Lennox (keyboards), Phil Lynott (bass) and Fireball Black Night Benny White (vocals). Strange Kind of Woman Hush Speed King The first known Purple tribute was recorded as early as 1972. An unknown, starving band named Thin Lizzy (which consisted of Bell, Downey & Lynott) were offered a lump sum of money to record some Deep Purple songs. (The album contains also a few non-DP tracks.) They did - with the help from two Irish guys. The album came out in early 1973. It wasn't a success. In February, Thin Lizzy had a top ten hit with a single of their own. Read more about it here.

  • Discography of the Mainstream Label
    Discography of the Mainstream Label Mainstream was founded in 1964 by Bob Shad, and in its early history reissued material from Commodore Records and Time Records in addition to some new jazz material. The label released Big Brother & the Holding Company's first material in 1967, as well as The Amboy Dukes' first albums, whose guitarist, Ted Nugent, would become a successful solo artist in the 1970s. Shad died in 1985, and his daughter, Tamara Shad, licensed its back catalogue for reissues. In 1991 it was resurrected in order to reissue much of its holdings on compact disc, and in 1993, it was purchased by Sony subsidiary Legacy Records. 56000/6000 Series 56000 mono, S 6000 stereo - The Commodore Recordings 1939, 1944 - Billy Holiday [1964] Strange Fruit/She’s Funny That Way/Fine and Mellow/Embraceable You/I’ll Get By//Lover Come Back to Me/I Cover the Waterfront/Yesterdays/I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues/I’ll Be Seeing You 56001 mono, S 6001 stereo - Begin the Beguine - Eddie Heywood [1964] Begin the Beguine/Downtown Cafe Boogie/I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me/Carry Me Back to Old Virginny/Uptown Cafe Boogie/Love Me Or Leave Me/Lover Man/Save Your Sorrow 56002 mono, S 6002 stereo - Influence of Five - Hawkins, Young & Others [1964] Smack/My Ideal/Indiana/These Foolish Things/Memories Of You/I Got Rhythm/Way Down Yonder In New Orleans/Stardust/Sittin' In/Just A Riff 56003 mono, S 6003 stereo - Dixieland-New Orleans - Teagarden, Davison & Others [1964] That’s A- Plenty/Panama/Ugly Chile/Riverboat Shuffle/Royal Garden Blues/Clarinet

    SUMMMER 2021 THE ESC CONNECTION A DIGITAL MAGAZINE OF THE EDUCATIONAL SERVICE CENTER OF NORTHEAST OHIO Hats off to the Class of 2021 Educational Service Center (ESC) of Northeast Ohio 1 6393 Oak Tree Blvd. Independence, OH 44131 (216) 524-3000 Fax (216) 524-3683 Superintendent’s Robert A. Mengerink Superintendent message Jennifer Dodd Director of Operations and Development By Dr. Bob Mengerink, Superintendent Steve Rogaski Director of Pupil Services Dear Colleagues, Bruce G. Basalla Treasurer As you all begin your summer, I hope you are all able to reflect on this past school year and find some positive aspects of the challenges you faced. This may be the new skills you have learned in technology or creative ways of expanding learning options for students. It could be the reminder of how GOVERNING BOARD we can and should lean on colleagues for support. Perhaps it is a greater Christine Krol President appreciation for understanding and addressing the non-academic needs of students. It might be realizing how adaptable we really are at accepting Anthony Miceli changes. Or maybe it’s remembering to slow down and prioritize what is Vice President most important for our students, ourselves and our families. Whatever it is, Carol Fortlage you should all be proud of how you have taken these challenges, led with Tony Hocevar grace and continuously identified solutions for your students, parents and Frank Mahnic, Jr. community. While there will always be challenges and controversy ahead in leading and transforming schools, my sincerest wish for you this summer is Editor: to do those things that will allow you to recharge yourself both physically and Nadine Grimm mentally while remembering that you are truly our unsung heroes.

  • Finance Committee
    05/08/2006 Finance 1 COMMITTEE ON FINANCE May 8, 2006 6:00 PM Vice-Chairman Gatsas called the meeting to order. Vice-Chairman Gatsas called for the Pledge of Allegiance, this function being led by Alderman Roy. A moment of silent prayer was observed. The Clerk called the roll. There were twelve Aldermen present. Present: Aldermen Roy, Gatsas, Long, Duval, Osborne, Pinard, Lopez, Shea, DeVries, Smith, Thibault and Forest Absent: Aldermen O’Neil and Garrity Messrs.: David Cornell, Tom Nichols, Stephan Hamilton, Jim Hoben, Denise Boutilier, Kevin Clougherty, Randy Sherman, Virginia Lamberton Vice-Chairman Gatsas advises that the purpose of the meeting shall be continuing discussions relating to the proposed FY2007 municipal budget and we’ll just change a little bit of the order and apologize but there are some people that had some commitments and have the Assessors go first followed by Traffic and then Finance. Board of Assessors Mr. David Cornell, Chairman of the Board of Assessors, stated today we will be presenting information on the exemption analysis giving an update of exactly where we’re at with our 2006 projected tax base. Historically the Mayor and Board of Aldermen have adjusted the exemption amounts during reval years. Our goal in this process is to provide the Mayor and the Aldermen with as much factual information so they can make an informed decision on this very important topic. Certainly we feel our role in this process is advisory in nature and some of the figures that we’ve provided to you aren’t necessarily our recommendations but they’re the figures that need to be adjusted to if the goal of the Aldermen is to keep the same proportional benefit before the reval and after the reval.

  • Special Investigative Committee on Oversight Report
    HISTORY OF THE COMMITTEE The House Special Investigative Committee on Oversight (the Committee) was formed by Speaker Todd Richardson on February 27, 2018, and consists of seven members: Chairman Jay Barnes, Vice-chairman Don Phillips, Ranking Member Gina Mitten, Rep. Jeanie Lauer, Rep. Kevin Austin, Rep. Shawn Rhoads, and Rep. Tommie Pierson Jr. House Resolution 5565, adopted by a unanimous vote of the House of Representatives on March 1, 2018, established procedures for the Committee. In particular, HR 5565 empowered and required the Committee to “investigate allegations against Governor Eric R. Greitens” and “report back to the House of Representatives within forty days of such committee being appointed[.]” It further permitted the Committee to close all or a portion of hearings to hear testimony or review evidence, and to redact testimony transcripts and other evidence to protect witness identities or privacy. Subpoenas were issued to compel the appearance of witnesses and the production of documents. Every witness before the Committee testified under oath. • On February 22, 2018, Speaker Todd Richardson indicated he would form a committee to investigate allegations against Governor Greitens (Greitens). In response, counsel for Greitens stated that they would “welcome reviewing this issue with the independent, bipartisan committee of the Missouri House of Representatives.” Counsel promised to “work with the committee,” after faulting the Circuit Attorney for the City of St. Louis for refusing to meet with Greitens.1 • On February 27, 2018, the Committee was formed by Speaker Todd Richardson. • On February 28, 2018, Chairman Barnes made contact with attorneys Ed Dowd, Counsel for Greitens; Scott Simpson, counsel for Witness 1; and Al Watkins, counsel for Witness 3.

    Folklife Today March 2020: On the Road With Alan Lomax, a “By the People” Campaign from the Library of Congress Announcer (00:01): From the Library of Congress in Washington, D C W.H. Stepp plays fiddle (00:13): Stephen Winick (00:28): Welcome to the Folklife Today podcast. I'm Stephen Winick, the writer and editor in the American Folklife Center of the Library of Congress. And I'm here with John Fenn, the Head of Research and Programs at the Center. John Fenn: Hello. We are excited to tell you about an initiative in which the Library of Congress is crowdsourcing transcriptions of manuscript pages. Stephen Winick: That doesn't actually sound like it has much to do with folklife, but we promise you that it does. John Fenn: Right. And that's because some of the manuscripts we're talking about are the fieldnotes and other handwritten or typewritten papers of Alan Lomax. Stephen Winick: So let's begin by setting the stage a little. Alan Lomax spent almost 70 years as a folklorist and ethnographer collecting, archiving, and analyzing folk music. His career began in 1933 when his father, John Lomax, was asked to be the new head of the Archive of American Folk Song, which had been established here at the Library of Congress in 1928. And That's the archive that now belongs to the American Folklife Center, where John and I work. John Fenn (01:24): Yes. And in this role as head of the archive, John Lomax took charge of a large repository of manuscripts and cylinder recordings.
