These three pieces, while reflecting similar motifs, differ in the emotions they represent: a gesture, a connection, and a thought. With the con- ESSE tinuous symbol of the hand, each piece delivers a personal story that allows viewers to create stories for themselves.

As these artists share some ideas and memories of their own, Ursuline Academy they draw in an audience to look further into what meanings these creations hold. Perhaps an object holds significant meaning, a con- nection invokes a certain feeling, or a pattern resurfaces an old memory. With every creation in this magazine, viewers are challenged to Volume LI 2016-2017 search for the meanings behind each piece and possibly discover a new meaning for themselves. 4900 Walnut Hill Lane Through the language of art, each artist conveys her unique voice and challenges the audience to look at something in a new way.

  • Cutting Patterns in DW Griffith's Biographs
    Cutting patterns in D.W. Griffith’s Biographs: An experimental statistical study Mike Baxter, 16 Lady Bay Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 5BJ, U.K. (e-mail: [email protected]) 1 Introduction A number of recent studies have examined statistical methods for investigating cutting patterns within films, for the purposes of comparing patterns across films and/or for summarising ‘average’ patterns in a body of films. The present paper investigates how different ideas that have been proposed might be combined to identify subsets of similarly constructed films (i.e. exhibiting comparable cutting structures) within a larger body. The ideas explored are illustrated using a sample of 62 D.W Griffith Biograph one-reelers from the years 1909–1913. Yuri Tsivian has suggested that ‘all films are different as far as their SL struc- tures; yet some are less different than others’. Barry Salt, with specific reference to the question of whether or not Griffith’s Biographs ‘have the same large scale variations in their shot lengths along the length of the film’ says the ‘answer to this is quite clearly, no’. This judgment is based on smooths of the data using seventh degree trendlines and the observation that these ‘are nearly all quite different one from another, and too varied to allow any grouping that could be matched against, say, genre’1. While the basis for Salt’s view is clear Tsivian’s apparently oppos- ing position that some films are ‘less different than others’ seems to me to be a reasonably incontestable sentiment. It depends on how much you are prepared to simplify structure by smoothing in order to effect comparisons.

    THE PAINTED BEAUTY FROM LIVING ART • PARADOX OF SUMMER • PARTNER PROFILE: CITIZENS BANK The Vol. 1 | Issue 3 | Summer-Fall 2009 A newsletter from Bok Tower Gardens www.boktowergardens.org 2 | The Garden Path | Summer-Fall 2009 FROM THE PRESIDENT What a season we have had! The Gardens have never looked better, our attendance is up and we have more member supporters than ever. The azalea and camellia bloom was spectacular with the weather cooperating to give us an extended spring bloom. It has been nice to see so many visitors enjoying the Gardens. The Moonlight Carillon Concert series was well attended, with the March concert drawing an audience of more than 350. With the daylight savings time change coming earlier this year, the concerts started with the setting sun so that guests could enjoy the Gardens in the sweet light of dusk. We started encouraging guests to picnic in the Gardens for these concerts and plan to introduce other changes to enhance the experience in the future. We have been working on a long range plan for the Gardens with several key points identified as goals. Improving customer service and the quality of our presentations are two of these goals. A large part of what we have to offer is the incredible experience our visitors enjoy. All aspects of the Gardens are being evaluated from the décor and food at the café, to the quality of our plant displays. We want the experience for our visitors to be unique, inspirational and enjoyable for everyone, every time. Gardening can truly be a celebration about the diversity of plants as we’ve seen in our monthly plant celebrations.

    Oracles Previous postings from the William Thomas Sherman Info Page 2007. By William Thomas Sherman 1604 NW 70th St. Seattle, WA 98117 206-784-1132 [email protected] http://www.gunjones.com ~~~~~~*~~~~~~ TENETS *If we ever experienced a problem anywhere, it came about, in some degree, due to certain wrong assumptions, either co-present with, or just prior to the given problem’s actually taking place. * Unless you believe in God, the One, and or the infinite, every assumption is contingent. * PROCESS (or if you prefer spirit, or activity) PRECEDES IMAGE. Image may, to some extent, (and sometimes almost perfectly) represent process. But process is always superior to and always more real than image. If process precedes image this might suggest also that mind precedes matter and energy. * Everything we believe, or say we know, is based on a factual or value judgment. Both kinds of judgment always entail the other to some extent, and nothing can be known or exists for us without them. * No fact or purported fact is true or false without someone to assert and believe it to be such. If an assertion or claim is deemed true or false then, and we are thorough, we should ask who is it that says so (or has said so), and what criteria are (were) they using? There is no such thing as "faceless" truth or reality -- at least none we are capable of knowing. * You can't escape reason. If you aren't rational yourself, someone else will be rational for you, nor do their intentions toward you need to be friendly or benevolent.

THE BOOK OF THE DAMNED BOOK OF THE DAMNED CHAPTER I PROCESSION of the damned. A By the damned, I mean the excluded. We shall have a procession of data that Science has excluded. Battalions of the accursed, captained by pallid data that I have exhumed, will march. You'll read them—or they'll march. Some of them livid and some of them fiery and some of them rotten. Some of them are corpses, skeletons, mummies, twitching, totter- ing, animated by companions that have been damned alive. There are giants that will walk by, though sound asleep. There are things that are theorems and things that are rags: they'll go by like Euclid arm in arm with the spirit of anarchy. Here and there will flit little harlots. Many are clowns. But many are of the highest respectability. Some are assassins. There are pale stenches and gaunt superstitions and mere shadows and lively malices: whims and amiabilities.

  • SCREENING MOTHERS: Representations of Motherhood in Australian Films from 1900 to 1988
    SCREENING MOTHERS: Representations of motherhood in Australian films from 1900 to 1988 CAROLINE M. PASCOE B.A. (Honours) M.A. UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 1998 ii The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original, except as acknowledged in the text. The material has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. CAROLINE MYRA PASCOE iii ABSTRACT Although the position of mothers has changed considerably since the beginning of the twentieth century, an idealised notion of motherhood persists. The cinema provides a source of information about attitudes towards mothering in Australian society which is not diminished by the fact that mothers are often marginal to the narrative. While the study recognises that cinematic images are not unconditionally authoritative, it rests on the belief that films have some capacity to reflect and influence society. The films are placed in an historical context with regard to social change in Australian society, so that the images can be understood within the context of the time of the making and viewing of the films. The depictions of the mother are scrutinised with regard to her appearance, her attitude, her relationship with others and the expectations, whether explicit or implicit, of her role. Of particular significance is what happens to her during the film and whether she is punished or rewarded for her behaviour. The conclusions reached after analysis are used to challenge those ideas which assume that portrayals of motherhood are unchangeable and timeless.

When I first saw the Big Country Book of Lyrics, I thought that maybe Golden Earring- fans are also interested in a book with Golden Earring lyrics. So I started in 2001 with a version I made with Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat Pro. But since I had start working with Adobe InDesign, I found out that it is much easier to make the Golden Earring Book of Lyrics. So have fun singing along with the fabulous Earring songs. The software I used. I used Adobe InDesign 6, Adobe Photoshop 6 and Adobe Acrobat X. Some information how to read the book. First you see the title of the song. Then the cover of the album or single. Then on wich album/single it is on, then the songwriters. On the right the lyrics. When you see a *, that means that it is not on any official album, but only was it released on single.
