  • Common Errors in English by Paul Brians [email protected]
    Common Errors in English by Paul Brians [email protected] http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/ (Brownie points to anyone who catches inconsistencies between the main site and this version.) Note that italics are deliberately omitted on this page. What is an error in English? The concept of language errors is a fuzzy one. I'll leave to linguists the technical definitions. Here we're concerned only with deviations from the standard use of English as judged by sophisticated users such as professional writers, editors, teachers, and literate executives and personnel officers. The aim of this site is to help you avoid low grades, lost employment opportunities, lost business, and titters of amusement at the way you write or speak. But isn't one person's mistake another's standard usage? Often enough, but if your standard usage causes other people to consider you stupid or ignorant, you may want to consider changing it. You have the right to express yourself in any manner you please, but if you wish to communicate effectively you should use nonstandard English only when you intend to, rather than fall into it because you don't know any better. I'm learning English as a second language. Will this site help me improve my English? Very likely, though it's really aimed at the most common errors of native speakers. The errors others make in English differ according to the characteristics of their first languages. Speakers of other languages tend to make some specific errors that are uncommon among native speakers, so you may also want to consult sites dealing specifically with English as a second language (see http://www.cln.org/subjects/esl_cur.html and http://esl.about.com/education/adulted/esl/).

  • The Wicked Witch
    29 The Wicked Witch As time slipped out of Value America’s hourglass, General Kicklighter introduced Craig to a group of Australian businessmen. They wanted to build the kind of infrastructure tools our board had rejected. Fortunately for the Australians, many of Value America’s best and brightest were now either unemployed or desperately looking to be reemployed in a more ethical environment. This all led to what came to be called “The Craig Dinner.” Those interested in a new challenge joined him one evening at the Downtown Grill to discuss the possibilities. Spotted by the FOGs, word quickly spread that Winn was up to no good. The FOGs, at Dorchak’s direction, grilled the participants like SS troopers. Joe Page, whom it was impossible to intimidate, sent the Hitler Youth an email: “I don’t see any reason for being asked to sign another non-disclosure letter, other than that it’s the company’s reaction to the ‘Craig Dinner.’ I have already signed multiple non- disclosures. On a professional level, I would never leak out information. Personally, I am offended by the inference. Specifically regarding Mr. Winn, he is, and always will be, my friend. In addition, he is very insistent upon keeping Value America out of ANY conversations in his presence. Therefore, I consider this whole exercise to be nothing other than harassment.” Just for fun, Craig had his lawyers call the company and ask for his employment records. He knew that the one-size-fits-all employment contract he had signed had never been countersigned by the company.

  • JOE MORELLO by MARVIN BUROCK a Thesis Submitted to the School Of
    JOE MORELLO By MARVIN BUROCK A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research Written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr. Henry Martin And approved by ____________________________________ ____________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May 2018 ©2018 Marvin Burock ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Joe Morello by MARVIN BUROCK Thesis Director: Dr. Lewis Porter Dr. Henry Martin This thesis explores legendary jazz drummer Joe Morello’s early years and musical training as well as a portion of his body of recorded drum solos. It also examines his breadth of influence across genres as well as his influence as an educator. Joe’s approach to teaching is also explored. Although hand development was one of his primary areas of focus, he also taught drum set coordination as well as the more musical aspects of drumming such as understanding song form and approaches to improvisation. This thesis also provides a unique glimpse into Joe’s drum equipment and set-up as well as his approach to tuning. The history of his drum and cymbal endorsements is also explored. The information found in this thesis is based on my more than twenty years as his pupil and drum technician. I currently serve as archivist for all of Joe’s personal effects from throughout his long and illustrious career. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND DEDICATION I would like to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr.

    The influence of recording and the record industry upon musical activity, as illustrated by the careers of Sir Thomas Beecham, Sir Georg Solti and Sir Simon Rattle. David Patmore, B.A., M.B.A. Thesis submitted to the University of Sheffield in part fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Sheffield University Management School University of Sheffield August 2001 Acknowledgements This study would not exist without the initial suggestion of my undertaking doctoral research by Professor Geoff Stone and Professor Anne Tomes, made at the time of the completion of my MBA at the Sheffield University Management School in 1994. I am most grateful for this early support. Further valuable encouragement and advice in the formulation of the research and in the idea of undertaking research into the influence of recording was given by Professor Tomes, working closely with Professors Peter Armstrong and Peter Hill. As a musician Professor Hill gave much advice of central importance at this critical early stage, as well as ongoing support and encouragement that has been greatly appreciated. I am most grateful to the Economic and Social Research Council for generously granting a studentship to allow myself to undertake the study, and to the Sheffield University Management School and Department of Music for being at all times congenial and supportive co-hosts. In the first year of study Professors Armstrong, Hill and Tomes proved to be admirable supervisors. At the beginning of the second year personal and professional changes resulted in the supervisory team being reformed with Dr. Cathy Cassell taking the leadership reigns, and with Professor Peter Hill and Dr.

    ( r ) U M O R I ...veniamo da una stagione di concerti del Centro di Ricerca Musicale (fondato da AngelicA nel 2011) che ha presentato soprattutto il lavoro di molti musicisti italiani la cui ricerca spaziava in molteplici direzioni, al limite di una “spersonalizzazione”, anche necessaria forse, di AngELICA... è possibile vivere la musica senza rientrare nella categoria-e? la forma consola, la musica ri-muove.... si è parlato di superamento dei generi musicali (chi prima, chi dopo; non importa o poco importa) e poi ci si ritrova a una sorta di consolidamento (trasformato?) dei generi... è interessante, pare un errore ciclico (le generazioni cambiano e si assiste in forma diversa allo stesso problema), forse è necessario, e riguarda tanti mondi, non solo la musica... paura di perdersi, necessità di ripararsi... è anche nel perdersi che ci si ritrova ma è importante trovare riparo, sostegno... abbiamo parlato di musica, di tante musiche, e adesso parliamo anche di tanti musicisti, era implicito prima ma adesso è amplificato... (Testo di presentazione della Stagione 2015>2016 – secondo anno) A costo di critiche talvolta vuote, talvolta importanti perchè risvegliano qualcosa che potrebbe perdersi nel caos delle cose (tante a cui far fronte e a cui pensare), si delinea un percorso dove si intrecciano mondi (non solo musicali) molto distanti tra loro e dove si intrecciano pubblici diversi (con molte persone che per la prima volta scoprono il Centro di Ricerca Musicale - Teatro San Leonardo osservando con stupore le cupole illuminate e cangianti, e qualche volta chiedendo: c’è un uccellino in sala? Forse? No, è il canto degli uccelli che, pianissimo, ci accompagna prima dell’inizio dei concerti)..
