2018 GCHS Breeds Prize List WELCOME Dear Exhibitors, It is with great pleasure that we welcome spectators and participants to the 2018 Germantown Charity Horse Show. For seventy years, the Horse Show has welcomed exhibitors from all over the United States to compete and exhibit the magnificent athleticism of horse and rider. As one of the largest all breed horse shows in the United States, we see a huge variety of breeds in our show rings, with the newest addition of the beautiful Gypsy Vanners, the feathered horses, who brought a new level of excitement to the main arena, and this year promises to be as thrilling as ever. Dating to the Horse Show’s beginning in 1947, families and neighbors have met at the show to spend a fun afternoon or evening together cheering on their favorite horses and riders. It is the families that keep this show going. We are proud to boast third- and even fourth-generation competitors, who have made it a family tradition to come to Germantown to compete every year. Many of today’s Horse Show Association Members became involved through their parents’ or grandparents’ participation. Others become involved after their children become avid horse enthusiasts and there are those who are members of the various charities that the Germantown Charity Horse Show supports. Our area is known for hospitality and this show is no exception. So many of our exhibitors tell us that this makes the GCHS the highlight of their show year. As always, the families of spectators, exhibitors, vendors, and our committee come together each year to make Germantown Charity Horse Show such a fun and exciting week for all—and for a good cause. We are proud to continue to support the Memphis Exchange Club, a remarkable organization focused on family as well. The Exchange Club provides education, therapy, rehabilitation, and safety in the present, and they serve families of the future by breaking the cycle of abuse. Again, welcome to the 70th annual Germantown Charity Horse Show! Your attendance and support is deeply appreciated and we wish everyone a fun and safe week. Let’s all sit back, relax and enjoy the show! Sincerely, Bill Dudley – GCHS President 1 NEW ADDITIONS We look forward to welcoming you to the 70th Annual Germantown Charity Horse Show! Based on suggestions we received after last year’s show, we have made several changes for our 2018 event. • We’ve added two new Walking Horse Championships, each with $2,000 in prize money thanks to Nathan Lubin who sponsored them in memory of his wife, Marilyn. The Open Trail Pleasure and Open Country Pleasure Championships will be on Saturday night. • The prize money in the Paso Fino division has been increased! We’re putting $150 in each qualifying class and making all of the championships (amateur and open) $1,500 classes. • A “Gamblers Choice” class has been added for our carriage enthusiasts and will be right after the Hunter/Jumper Gamblers Choice on Thursday night. • We’re adding more speed and excitement with the addition of two new Speed Racking classes - Youth and 3-4 Year Old. • Due to the popularity of our Gypsy Vanner Liberty class, we’re adding a qualifier on Tuesday night. The top 5 will return for a $2,000 championship on Friday night. • In honor of our 70th Anniversary we’ve added several “Throwback” classes that everyone can participate in! We’ll have Ride-a-Buck, a Sweet Tea Challenge, Family Class, Stick Horse Steeplechase, and Adult Costume Class. 2 HELPFUL CONTACTS SHOW MANAGER – Mark Farrar, 615-346-0290 (work), 615-604-4616 (cell) [email protected] BOX SEATS – Kay Ross, [email protected] Boxes are $260 each and includes a copy of the official show program.

  • Michael West
    Theater of Enigma in Shakespeare’s England Michael West Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2017 Michael West All rights reserved ABSTRACT Theater of Enigma in Shakespeare’s England Michael West Theater of Enigma in Shakespeare’s England demonstrates the cognitive, affective, and social import of enigmatic theatrical moments. While the presence of other playgoers obviously shapes the experience of attending a play, I argue that deliberately induced moments of audience ignorance are occasions for audience members to be especially aware of their relations to others who may or may not share their bafflement. I explore the character of states of knowing and not-knowing among audience members and the relations that obtain among playgoers who inhabit these states. Further, I trace the range of performance techniques whereby playgoers are positioned in a cognitive no-man's land, lying somewhere between full understanding and utter ignorance—techniques that I collectively term “enigmatic theater.” I argue that moments of enigmatic theater were a dynamic agent in the formation of collectives in early modern playhouses. I use here the term “collective” to denote the temporary, occasional, and fleeting quality of these groupings, which occur during performance but are dissipated afterwards. Sometimes, this collective resembles what Victor Turner terms communitas, in which the normal societal divisions are suspended and the playgoers become a unified collectivity. At other times, however, plays solicit the formation of multiple collectives defined by their differing degrees of knowledge about a seeming enigma.

  • 2019 BEA Convention
    Welcome As Program Chair, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 2019 BEA Convention. Convention As educators, we draw findings from diverse streams of research to provide students with an understanding of the theoretical approaches to the analysis of media texts and, in turn, to Program Chair’s inform their own production practice. In other words, we strive to teach students not just which production techniques work, but why they work. Be that as it may, prominent industry producers continue to be of the view that media production is self-taught and the role of educators is one Welcome of giving students the confidence and inspiration to succeed. Therefore, if we as educators are to serve as mere beacons of inspiration, what roles do our theoretical teachings serve in the professional practice of electronic media? Does the professional practice of media rely on instinct or on the acquisition of specialized skills and knowledge? The BEA2019 Convention Spotlight, Education and Industry: Mediating the Nexus, explores the issues posed by these questions. To that end, we have an exciting line up of presentations and workshops that aim to increase the dialogue between scholars and practitioners in order to aid the former to build new and expand existing industry relationships; to develop curricula in such a way that the insights gained from theory feed into practice, and vice versa; and to identify research gaps and foster collaborative research projects with industry partners. On the academic side, the Research Symposium examines the issue of what it means to be media literate.

  • MY BERKSHIRE B Y
    MY BERKSHIRE b y Eleanor F . Grose OLA-^cr^- (\"1S MY BERKSHIRE Childhood Recollections written for my children and grandchildren by Eleanor F. Grose POSTSCIPT AND PREFACE Instead of a preface to my story, I am writing a postscript to put at the beginning! In that way I fulfill a feeling that I have, that now that I have finished looking back on my life, I am begin' ning again with you! I want to tell you all what a good and satisfying time I have had writing this long letter to you about my childhood. If it hadn’t been for you, I wouldn’t have had the fun of thinking about and remembering and trying to make clear the personalities of my father and mother and making them integrated persons in some kind of perspective for myself as well as for you—and I have en­ joyed it all very much. I know that I will have had the most fun out of it, but I don’t begrudge you the little you will get! It has given me a very warm and happy feeling to hear from old friends and relatives who love Berkshire, and to add their pleasant memo­ ries to mine. But the really deep pleasure I have had is in linking my long- ago childhood, in a kind of a mystic way, in my mind, with you and your future. I feel as if I were going on with you. In spite of looking back so happily to old days, I find, as I think about it, that ever since I met Baba and then came to know, as grown-ups, my three dear splendid children and their children, I have been looking into the future just as happily, if not more so, as, this win­ ter, I have been looking into the past.

There was unusual interest in the debate, largely due probably to the fact that the subject was of personal inter­ est to so many people. The contestants for Central were Louis Fehr, Miss Charlotte Parsons and John Kennedy; for Masten Park, David Brumberg, William Haller and Irwin R. Beiler. The audience was keenly appreciative of the points made by each side and each speaker was roundly applauded by his fel­ lows. The judges were Hon. Daniel N. Lockwood, G.

  • Dear Villanovan, It Is with Great Pleasure That I Present the 21St
    Dear Villanovan, It is with great pleasure that I present the 21st edition of the Enchiridion, the handbook for students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The Enchiridion is meant to be a ready reference for information on the College, its academic programs, regulations, and policies. I am sure you will find it most useful. (For a definition of Enchiridion, please see page 169.) As a student in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, you are part of a learning community that draws upon the legacy of St. Augustine, whose own pursuit of knowledge was characterized by open, intelligent, and respectful interaction of various points of view. The College offers its programs in the liberal arts and sciences in the hope that they will foster an awareness of moral, religious, and humanitarian values, all of which are necessary for the total growth of the individual. As St. Augustine reminds us: Let knowledge be used as a kind of scaffolding to help build the edifice of love and understanding, which shall endure forever even after knowledge itself shall be destroyed. (Epist. 55, 22, 39) Please know that the faculty, staff, and administration of the College, with your cooperation, are eager to help you attain these goals. John A.

  • More-Than-100-Letters-Of-Support-For-Jim-Shea-To-Serve-On-The-Montana-Supreme-Court.Pdf
    Cook, Kevin From: Menzies, Lois Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2014 9:06 AM To: Cook, Kevin Subject: Supreme Court -- Shea Public Comment From: Shannon Thomas [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2014 6:10 AM To: Menzies, Lois Subject: Public Comment on Judicial Nominee To whom it may concern, My name is Shannon Thomas. I am a science teacher in Helena, Montana. This email is written as public comment in support of the appointment of James Jeremiah Shea for the position of Supreme Court justice. I have had the privilege of knowing Jim Shea for over twenty-five years, both as a friend, and as a stellar lawyer and judge. Jim brings the right mix of humility, diligence, and intelligence to his proceedings in the court. He has been a fierce advocate for clients in public and private practice. In turn, he has been that perfect "fair and balanced" judge, so often described as necessary for our judicial system. Jim Shea is described as a "relentless seeker of fact". As a science teacher, I truly appreciate this approach and seek to have it modeled in all areas of life for my students. Jim seeks to have the judiciary keep its correct place in our three-tiered government system. The judiciary should be non-political; open to new arguments, but driven by historical precedents. Jim is not the dreaded activist judge. He has had 90% of his cases upheld by the current Supreme Court, unanimously. This can only be done if the law is applied fairly and accurately. The fact that Jim has also been confirmed by the Montana Senate twice for his Workman's Compensation judgeship, with no controversy, shows how respected he is in his work.
