H., (deceased) was, during many of the closing years of his life, interested in collecting and arranging for final publication, all the available facts and traditions relative to the Corser and Courser families in the United States, and has ei,tab­ lished their common descent from John Corser ( or-Courser) of Newbury, Massachussetts, who married in 1716 or 1717, Tabitha Kenney of that town. Mr. Corser has, by his scholarly research, given convincing evidence of the origin of the family name, During the last two or more years of his life, he has devoted time and m<;>ney to the' co•mpletion of th.e wor.k which he had long had in contemplation. His death at his home in Boscawen, N, H., March 15, 1903, has prevented his personal distribu­ tion of his printed bobk, As I have been much interested in his work during the past twenty years, and have from time to time aided him with data procured from both Amer­ ican and English families, I had arranged with the Author during 1902 for fifty unbound topics of the book, that I might bind and distribute them gratuitously among Corser kin and other friends. As these have come to me since the death of the Author, I have thought it suitable to insert this introduction, and also, in an appendix haye included some facts respecting the Corser family in Boscawen, N. H., dur­ ing the early years of the settlement of that town, which I have taken from "The History of Boscawen and Webster from 1733 to 1878, Compiled by Charles Carleton Coffin and published in Concord, N. H., 1878,,, I have written in that Appendix a few appreciative words of Mr. Bartlett Corser, and call especial attention to his purpose in writing and pub­ lishing this book, as set forth by the Author in his letter to me of November 29, 1901. X His letter states, that which is undoubtedly true-that the book is, in an especial sense, llis book, and also disavows any pretense that it is a complete, up-to-date genealoly­ the Author of this work leaving it for others who may here­ after take it up where he has left it and complete it-it having been his evident purpose at the last, to lay carefully consid­ ered foundations for the future Corser genealogy, and also to leave a record of much in his life which is personal-a large part of his book being made up of his own sketches in verse and prose, with other matter of interest to himself, but very largely foreign to the purposes of a genealogy. I wish here to e>9press my sense of the unselfish and valu­ able genealogical work done by the Author, and as I write these lines a few days after Mr. Corser's death, I desire to recognize on behalf of all of the Corser name, the obligation resting upon us for his book-his labor and gift of love. t ELWOOD S.

  • The Moody Blues Tour / Set List Project - Updated April 9, 2006
    The Moody Blues Tour / Set List Project - updated April 9, 2006 compiled by Linda Bangert Please send any additions or corrections to Linda Bangert ([email protected]) and notice of any broken links to Neil Ottenstein ([email protected]). This listing of tour dates, set lists, opening acts, additional musicians was derived from many sources, as noted on each file. Of particular help were "Higher and Higher" magazine and their website at www.moodies- magazine.com and the Moody Blues Official Fan Club (OFC) Newsletters. For a complete listing of people who contributed, click here. Particular thanks go to Neil Ottenstein, who hosts these pages, and to Bob Hardy, who helped me get these pages converted to html. One-off live performances, either of the band as a whole or of individual members, are not included in this listing, but generally can be found in the Moody Blues FAQ in Section 8.7 - What guest appearances have the band members made on albums, television, concerts, music videos or print media? under the sub-headings of "Visual Appearances" or "Charity Appearances". The current version of the FAQ can be found at www.toadmail.com/~notten/FAQ-TOC.htm I've construed "additional musicians" to be those who played on stage in addition to the members of the Moody Blues. Although Patrick Moraz was legally determined to be a contract player, and not a member of the Moody Blues, I have omitted him from the listing of additional musicians for brevity. Moraz toured with the Moody Blues from 1978 through 1990. From 1965-1966 The Moody Blues were Denny Laine, Clint Warwick, Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge, although Warwick left the band sometime in 1966 and was briefly replaced with Rod Clarke.

Identity creation will be analyzed using Richard Gregg’s concept of ego-function. By applying the three stages of the theory – victimization of the ego, demonization of the enemy, and reaffirmation of the ego – to both albums, I hope to uncover the ways that both West and Hill contribute to identity creation. I also discuss the ways in which they create identity that cannot be explained by ego-function theory. I also briefly address the following questions: (1) How does the language of ego-function differ between the artists? (2) How does their music speak to listeners of different ethnicities? (3) What role does gender play in ego-function? Does the language of ego-function differ between genders? ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements ………………………………………………………………......iii Chapter 1 Introduction ................................................................................................. 1 Kanye West: The Jerk and the Genius ............................................................................

  • Felice Beato's Japan: Places” Associate Professor of Art History Dartmouth College
    A Tourist’s Album of Japan An album of scenic views by the photographer Felice Beato (ca. 1833-1908) in the collection of the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College is representative of hundreds of albums he sold to foreigners who passed through Japan in the late 1860s and early 1870s. Beato was the most successful of the first generation of commercial photographers who plied their trade in the Far East. The success of his business depended, in part, on his ability to know the interests and expectations of his clientele. Accordingly, the subjects Beato photographed were Japanese but the visual culture he created is inherently Western in its conceptualization and presentation. Using the Hood Museum album as an example, this unit examines the way in which Beato’s photographs contributed to late-19th-century Western understanding of Japan, its people, and its culture. Beato, Wirgman, and the Business of Early Photography in Japan Beato arrived in Japan in 1863 at the invitation of Charles Wirgman (1832–1891), a sketch artist and reporter for the Illustrated London News (ILN). The two met in China in 1860 while Wirgman was covering the British assault of Peking (now Beijing) and Beato was making a photographic record of the mission. This was the latest in a series of similar commissions Beato received from the British military. He photographed the Crimean war in 1855 but arrived in India too late to cover the Sepoy Mutiny of 1858. Nonetheless, he made a series of images showing the destruction wrought by the British reprisals. Beato supplemented his official commissions by selling albums of battlefield imagery mixed with individual and group portraits of officers and enlisted men who were involved in these conflicts.

  • Seventy-Five Years in California; a History of Events and Life in California
    Seventy-five years in California; a history of events and life in California THE first habitation in Yerba Buena, a tent dwelling erected in 1835 by Capt. Wm. A. Richardson, at the corner of Clay and Dupont streets, occupied the site of No. 18 on the view map. In July, 1836, Jacob Primer Leese built the first house, just south of Richardson's location. The residence and place of business of William Heath Davis, author of “Seventy-five Years in California,” is marked No. 7. Yerba Buena Cove appears in its natural condition with the waters of the Bay nearly touching Montgomery Street. The Laguna Salada, or Saltwater Lagoon, now almost forgotten, is shown where Montgomery and Jackson streets cross. It was over this tidal inlet that William S. Hinckley, when Alcade, built the first bridge in California in 1844. This rare view of the San Francisco of 1846-7 fittingly illustrates the early days of the city which William Heath Davis describes. To the north of the home of Wm. A. Leidesdorff—No. 11—Wm. Heath Davis built the first brick building of more than one story in California in 1849, leasing it to the U. S. Treasury for a custom house. The flagpole upon which Capt. John B. Montgomery raised the American flag July 9, 1846, was removed from the Plaza in 1850 and re-erected in front of the Davis building, where it was destroyed by the fire of May 4, 1851. California Street was laid out by Jasper o'Farrell, who enlarged the survey of the town made by Jean Jacques Vioget in 1839.

Hyniea (Niea) Gardner A Thesis in the Field of Anthropology and Archaeology for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University May 2019 © May 2019 Hyniea (Niea) Gardner Abstract In 2016 the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) reported that the Korean music industry saw an overseas revenue of ₩5.3 trillion ($4.7 billion) in concert tickets, streaming music, compact discs (CDs), and related services and merchandise such as fan meetings and purchases of music artist apparel and accessories (Kim 2017 and Erudite Risk Business Intelligence 2017). Korean popular music (K-Pop) is a billion-dollar industry. Known for its energetic beats, synchronized choreography, and a sound that can be an amalgamation of electronica, blues, hip-hop, rock, and R&B all mixed together to create something that fans argue is “uniquely K-Pop.” However, further examination reveals that producers and songwriters – both Korean and the American and European specialists contracted by agencies – tend to base the foundation of the K-Pop sound in hip-hop and R&B, which has strong ties to African-American musical traditions.

    The Terror By Arthur Machen 1. The Coming of the Terror After two years we are turning once more to the morning’s news with a sense of appetite and glad expectation. There were thrills at the beginning of the war: the thrill of horror and of a doom that seemed at once incredible and certain; this was when Namur fell and the German host swelled like a flood over the French fields, and drew very near to the walls of Paris. Then we felt the thrill of exultation when the good news came that the awful tide had been turned back, that Paris and the world were safe; for awhile at all events. Then for days we hoped for more news as good as this or better. Has von Kluck been surrounded? Not to-day, but perhaps he will be surrounded to-morrow. But the days became weeks, the weeks drew out to months; the battle in the west seemed frozen. Now and again things were done that seemed hopeful, with promise of events still better. But Neuve Chapelle and Loos dwindled into disappointments as their tale was told fully; the lines in the west remained, for all practical purposes of victory, immobile. Nothing seemed to happen, there was nothing to read save the record of operations that were clearly trifling and insignificant. People speculated as to the reason of this inaction; the hopeful said that Joffre had a plan, that he was “nibbling,” others declared that we were short of munitions, others again that the new levies were not yet ripe for battle.
