Not just any party, but a grand celebration of our Nation's 200th Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, USA!--a non-profit corporation organized by a group of local and national business and civic lead­ ers--is planning the most exciting July 4th weekend ever envisioned. Based on generous contributions from private industry and local and national government agencies, we have already announced plans for a spectacular parade, the most so­ phisticated fireworks display ever produced in this country and many other exciting events. But industry and government can't do it all. Any cele­ bration in the Nation's Capital requires the active par­ ticipation of every citizen. For this reason we are asking each patron to contribute $200 - one dollar for each year of our country's independence. As a patron you will be invited to special receptions at the Organization of American States and at the Kennedy Center. You will also receive reserved seat tickets for the big parade on July 3. (The enclosed pamphlet describes the patron program in detail and lists the various public and private events scheduled.) Being a patron, of course, means much more than just re­ ceptions and parade tickets. It means that you are actively supporting a July 4th celebration that will benefit everyone in our community. And the thought that you helped make this the biggest event of the year will remain with you long after the parade and receptions are over. A formal invitation will be mailed to you within the next few weeks. We look forward to your reply and sincerely hope you will join us in making Washington, D. C. the focal point of our Nation's Bicentennial Year.

In a famous letter from Abigail to her husband on March 31, 1776, she wrote: “I long to hear that you have declared an independency. And, by the way, in the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.” Day One Walking Tour From the hotel, head south on 16th St. to Lafayette Square.

  • The Night Vigil of Shen Zhou
    Glossator: Practice and Theory of the Commentary 3 (2010) THE NIGHT VIGIL OF SHEN ZHOU J. H. Prynne On a cold night sleep is very sweet. I woke in the middle of the night, my mind clear and untroubled, and as I was unable to go to sleep again, I put on my clothes and sat facing my flickering lamp. On the table were a few folders of books. I chose a volume at random and began to read, but tiring I put down the book and sat calmly doing nothing [shushou weizuo]. A long rain had newly cleared, and a pale moon was shining through the window. All around was silence. Then after a long time absorbing the fresh brightness, I gradually became aware of sounds. Listening to the rustling of the wind stirring the bamboo gave one the feeling of going bravely and unwaveringly onward. Hearing the harsh snarling of dogs gave feelings of barring out evil, of opposing marauders. Hearing the sound of drums, large and small—the small ones thin, and the far ones clear and deep and uninterrupted—stirred restless thoughts that were lonely and sad. The official drum was very close, from three beats, to four and then five, gradually faster, hastening the dawn. Suddenly in the northeast the sound of a bell, a bell pure and clean through rain-cleared air, and hearing it came thoughts of waiting for the dawn, rising and doing. It was inevitable. My nature is such as to enjoy sitting in the night [yezuo]. So I often spread a book under the lamp going back and forth over it, usually stopping at the second watch.

  • A New World Tragedy $13.95
    ... - Joumey to Nowhere A NEW WORLD TRAGEDY $13.95 Rarely does a book come along which so transcends its apparent subject that the reader is ultimately given something larger, richer, and more revealing than he might initially have imagined. Already published in Eng­ land to overwhelming acclaim (see back of jacket), Shiva Naipaul’s Journey to Nowhere is such a book — a “power­ ful, lucid, and beautifully written book” (The Spectator) that is destined to be one of the most controversial works of 1981. In it, this major writer takes us far beyond the events and surface details surrounding the tragedy of Jones­ town and the People’s Temple —and gives us his remark­ able, unique perspective on the deadly drama of ideas, environments, and unholy alliances that shaped those events both in Guyana and, even more significantly, in America. Journey to Nowhere is, on one level, a “brilliantly edgy safari” (New Statesman) inside the Third World itself—a place of increasing importance in our lives—and on another, a book about America, about the corrupt and corrupting ideologies and chi-chi politics of the past twenty years that enabled the Reverend Jim Jones and the Temple to flourish and grow powerful in California and Guyana. Drawing on interviews —with former members of the Temple, various officials, and such people as Buckmin­ ster Fuller, Huey Newton, Clark Kerr, and others —on documents, and most importantly, on his own strong, clear reactions to what he observed, Naipaul examines the Guyana of Forbes Bumham, the CIA stooge turned Third World socialist leader, whose stated ideals of socialism, racial brotherhood, and cooperative agricul­ tural enterprise coincided so neatly, we learn for the first time, with those of the People’s Temple — ideals that led all too easily to violence and death.

  • Jazz Drums Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Online Jazz Handbook
    Jazz Drums Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Online Jazz Handbook welcome to the drums chapter of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz’s Online Jazz Handbook! When learning jazz, there is no substitute for listening to the classic recordings and understanding the lineage. Please refer often to the albums listed at the end of this chapter for great examples of the material listed below. Don’t forget to practice with a metronome: This is important for drummers at all levels when learning new styles and ideas! Introduction: The drums can be heard in almost every style of music, and just like every instrument, the style helps dictate the specific roll of the instrument. For example, in traditional Afro-Cuban ensembles, the many drummers and percussionists create the main body of music that the bass, guitar, vocals, and other instruments float above. On the opposite side of that, you might hear an orchestra in which the only job of the percussionists is to create interesting sounds and colors on top of a the string section. In jazz, the drummer plays both a crucial part in creating a strong foundation, and helping add color and shape to the music. The first step is creating that strong foundation with the ride cymbal! Getting Started with the Ride Cymbal: Since the 1930’s and the beginning of the be-bop era, the main focal point on a jazz drum kit has been the ride cymbal. The phrasing of the ride cymbal is based around the quarter note, however instead of thinking in eighth notes (like most rock music on the radio today), we want to think in eighth note triplets.

    The Geological Society of America Field Guide 40 2015 Building stones of the National Mall Richard A. Livingston Materials Science and Engineering Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, USA Carol A. Grissom Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute, 4210 Silver Hill Road, Suitland, Maryland 20746, USA Emily M. Aloiz John Milner Associates Preservation, 3200 Lee Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22207, USA ABSTRACT This guide accompanies a walking tour of sites where masonry was employed on or near the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It begins with an overview of the geological setting of the city and development of the Mall. Each federal monument or building on the tour is briefly described, followed by information about its exterior stonework. The focus is on masonry buildings of the Smithsonian Institution, which date from 1847 with the inception of construction for the Smithsonian Castle and continue up to completion of the National Museum of the American Indian in 2004. The building stones on the tour are representative of the development of the Ameri­ can dimension stone industry with respect to geology, quarrying techniques, and style over more than two centuries. Details are provided for locally quarried stones used for the earliest buildings in the capital, including A quia Creek sandstone (U.S. Capitol and Patent Office Building), Seneca Red sandstone (Smithsonian Castle), Cockeysville Marble (Washington Monument), and Piedmont bedrock (lockkeeper's house). Fol­ lowing improvement in the transportation system, buildings and monuments were constructed with stones from other regions, including Shelburne Marble from Ver­ mont, Salem Limestone from Indiana, Holston Limestone from Tennessee, Kasota stone from Minnesota, and a variety of granites from several states.

  • John Trumbull of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence
    Bicentennial Moment #2: the Naming of Livingston County, New York Livingston County was named in honor of Chancellor Robert R. Livingston (1746-1813), a man who never resided Livingston County, but who was among the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. Livingston was the eldest son of Judge Robert Livingston (1718–1775) and Margaret (née Beekman) Livingston, uniting two wealthy Hudson River Valley families. Among his many contributions, Livingston was a member of the Second Continental Congress, co-author of the Declaration of Independence, and in 1789 he administered the oath of office to President George Washington. As a member of the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration of Independence, Livingston worked alongside Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Roger Sherman. A regional and national luminary, Livingston served as Chancellor of the Supreme Court of New York (1777 to 1801). As the United States Minister to France from 1801 to 1804, he was one of the key figures in negotiating the Louisiana Purchase with Napoleon Bonaparte, a sale that marked a turning point in the relationship between the two nations. During his time as U.S. Minister to France, Livingston met Robert Fulton, with whom he developed the first viable steamboat, the North River Steamboat, whose home port was at the Livingston family home of Clermont Manor in Clermont, New York. In addition to the naming of Livingston County in his honor, Robert R. Livingston's legacy lives on in numerous ways including a statue commissioned by the State of New York and placed in the National Statuary Hall at the U.S.

  • Founding Fathers" in American History Dissertations
    EVOLVING OUR HEROES: AN ANALYSIS OF FOUNDERS AND "FOUNDING FATHERS" IN AMERICAN HISTORY DISSERTATIONS John M. Stawicki A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2019 Committee: Andrew Schocket, Advisor Ruth Herndon Scott Martin © 2019 John Stawicki All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This thesis studies scholarly memory of the American founders and “Founding Fathers” via inclusion in American dissertations. Using eighty-one semi-randomly and diversely selected founders as case subjects to examine and trace how individual, group, and collective founder interest evolved over time, this thesis uniquely analyzes 20th and 21st Century Revolutionary American scholarship on the founders by dividing it five distinct periods, with the most recent period coinciding with “founders chic.” Using data analysis and topic modeling, this thesis engages three primary historiographic questions: What founders are most prevalent in Revolutionary scholarship? Are social, cultural, and “from below” histories increasing? And if said histories are increasing, are the “New Founders,” individuals only recently considered vital to the era, posited by these histories outnumbering the Top Seven Founders (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Paine) in founder scholarship? The thesis concludes that the Top Seven Founders have always dominated founder dissertation scholarship, that social, cultural, and “from below” histories are increasing, and that social categorical and “New Founder” histories are steadily increasing as Top Seven Founder studies are slowly decreasing, trends that may shift the Revolutionary America field away from the Top Seven Founders in future years, but is not yet significantly doing so.
