By JULIAN WALTHO SENIOR SCHOOL HEAD MASTER 2 3 By EMILY WATERS THE GREAT HALL & SOPHIA SHRESTHA ARMISTICE CENTENARY MEET THE ARCHITECT The Great Hall is well on the way to completion, as is evident from the rapid progress of building seen on the site, and the Kent College Community watches excited and expectant. Questions have been buzzing around the school: when will it be finished? What will it look like? Who will use it? And we thought that the person who could best answer these inquiries would be the Great Hall Architect, Mr James Robson, who has worked over about five years to design and create the biggest project that Kent 2018 marks the centenary of the end of the First World War, where one hundred years College has ever undertaken. Having worked on similar projects before, Mr Robson ago the suffering of millions of men finally ended after four years of dreadful fighting. was asked to create a hall that would be used as both a performance space and To commemorate and remember all those who were killed during the war, Kent College chapel, where up to 600 people would need to be seated. In order to achieve this flexibility, many innovative features have been added to the building, for example a History and Art departments have created a huge poppy, made of individual tiles. temporary screen will be installed that can reduce the seating for smaller performances Each tile has been uniquely decorated and designed by every member of the Kent College and audiences, which can then be removed for the hall to accommodate a whole school gathering. This adjustability is also key in the purpose of the building, where a religious community to symbolise the individuality of each soldier who died during this time, and space must also be adapted for performances and recitals: all of these matters were how those that we remember are not just statistics or names of the past, but were singular taken into account during the initial designing process. characters. This project was influenced by a trip to Ypres where six Year 9 students with Mrs. Kenmir and Mr. Cox were invited to help install the ‘Coming World Remember Me’ One other design that has been incorporated into the building of the hall is the natural exhibition. ventilation, where air will be extracted from the ground and recycled around the hall; this seems an incredible feature, where noisy and intrusive air conditioning units will be In this project, 600,000 clay figures have been made, each one representing a man who lost a thing of the past. Another important feature of the building is where it was going to be his life on Belgian soil during the First World War, and placed in no man’s land. In order to placed, as accessibility and visibility were key in the decisions made. The site that they create our own lasting memorial, this idea has been adapted to make our own tile poppy which decided on, just in front of the main school, is ideal in terms of convenience for the pupils and any visitors, as well as being visible from the road. Mr Robson also confirmed that will remain in the school as a permanent reminder of the peace that we now are able to enjoy. the brick used will complement that of the nineteenth century building behind and will therefore not detract from this marvellous architecture that forms the school’s history. Size and space are very important factors in choosing a site, which was why this area was suitable for the project, and many locals have already complimented the structure that outlines where the Great Hall will be. Exciting times are just ahead, as Mr Robson believes that the hall should be finished by Summer 2019, which is remarkable considering the size and demand of the project.

  • PLU Class of 1968 Memory Book
    PLU Class of 1968 Memory Book 1964-65: Freshman Year Our freshman year began in early September 1964. The bewilderment of college classes, new living quarters, and new roommates was quickly replaced by the inevitable—beanies! Did you wear a bib? Or carry a pillow around all day? Or play some dumb part in the freshman initiation skits in Eastvold? PLU's campus was in transition to what it would later become. Many old buildings on lower campus, since demolished, were still in place then. Remember Clover Creek Hall? It sat where Tinglestad does now. Pflueger Hall was about the newest thing on campus. Later that year, what would eventually be Foss Hall first took shape as a muddy swamp on lower campus. Elsewhere on lower campus, the swimming pool was completed during the school year and opened for student use. On upper campus, a street still ran in front of the Administration Building and the CUB. Many of today's large trees were just being planted. And other than Harstad, the main women's dorms still sported their old nondescript directional names—North, South, and West. We went to chapel, where attendance was required four days a week. Many of us began our chapel careers in the balcony of Eastvold, where we liked the first chapel talks so much we applauded for them. About a week later, a note signed by Dr. Mortvedt, PI-I-I's President, appeared in the daily chapel bulletin. The note pointed out in no uncertain terms that applause was not part of chapel.

    The Adventure Zone: Live in Nashville! Published on December 14th, 2017 Listen on TheMcElroy.family Griffin: Hey, everybody. This is Griffin McElroy, your best friend, your all that other stuff. Real quick, I wanted to talk about something before we get into the episode, which is our live show that we performed in Nashville. If you were at our The The Adventure Zone Zone at PodCon last weekend, then you already know about this. But if you don‘t, there‘s a bit of a programming change that you should know about. And that is that, starting in January, for the rest of the time that we are doing these sort of experimental mini arcs like TAZ: Commitment, which we wrapped up a couple weeks ago, we are going to go weekly. We are going to have weekly episodes, starting in January, for the experimental episodes. Once we get to season two, we‘re gonna probably go back to biweekly so that we can continue to put the amount of polish and effort that we need to put to make the show as good as we want it to be. But in the meantime, we‘re gonna go weekly. And the reason we‘re doing that is because we really loved doing Commitment, and we‘re really happy with it, but if each of us takes some time to work on one of those mini arcs and we go biweekly, it‘s just gonna take forever before we get to season two, and we are all sort of ready and raring to go to start building out this big, big story like we did with Balance.

As the Internet appears to force the music recording industry to re-evaluate its function and change its approach to distributing music and making money, music artistes seem to no longer need to rely on ‘record deals’ to launch or build a music career; and music audiences no longer have to rely on Top-40 radio to be told what is popular listening. This phenomenon has serious implications for new and emerging Internet social networking audiences that are interested in new and innovative forms of music experiences. This paper explores the issues of corporate control on new forms of music consumption and commoditisation, where a dichotomous relationship has emerged involving the recording industry (which seeks to monetise and control access to music) and generative audiences (which seek to consume ‘music on tap’).

The Boston Breakers find themselves right in the mix. The longest-running professional women’s soccer team in U.S. history, the Breakers have roots dating back more than a decade. The franchise was established in 2000, debuting in the Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA) in 2001. The Breakers competed for three seasons in WUSA before the league folded. When Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) was formed in the fall of 2007, the Breakers joined the league and began play when WPS officially launched its first season in 2009. The Breakers played three seasons in WPS (2009-2011) before the league suspended operations in 2011. In their three WPS seasons, the Breakers reached the playoffs twice. In 2012, the Breakers played in the eight-team WPSL Elite League, which featured eight teams from the Midwest and up and down the East Coast. The Breakers won the regular season championship with an 11-3 record.

  • Practical Input
    where world and worship meet Practical input Establishing an outward-focused worship song repertoire Choosing songs which focus on poverty, intercession and themes of justice and mercy does not on its own constitute prayer and worship that is outward-focused. But for many of us, sung worship is a crucial element of our worship, and songs are significant, or even primary, tools for expressing corporate worship in our churches. (If we are honest with ourselves, we also know that these songs shape our theology, and our worship as a result – they are often more memorable than teaching, and those we connect with make a deep impression on our hearts.) These are all good things, but they illustrate how influential our songs are. Those of us with any responsibility for making song selection, or defining the regular song repertoire of our church, should be diligent in reviewing the emphases we are creating, as well as responsive to new and fresh songs that are coming through. Carrying out a song audit What? This is an exercise which will help you review your song choice for all areas of Christian doctrine, as well as in reference to poverty, justice and intercession. A song audit is a review of the songs you are regularly singing in church, and the combined doctrine that they convey. It gives you a chance to prayerfully consider whether there are areas of doctrine, belief and mission that are under-represented in the songs you are using, and what impact this might be having on your worship, and on the received (if not taught) theology of you and your congregation as worshippers.

  • An Historical Overview of Philanthropy in Rock
    HEEDING THE CALL: AN HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF PHILANTHROPY IN ROCK By JI HOON LEE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2010 1 © 2010 Ji Hoon Lee 2 To everyone who nurtured my intellectual curiosity, academic interests, and sense of scholarship throughout my lifetime, making this dissertation possible 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I thank my chair, Dr. William McKeen, and members of my supervisory committee for their mentoring and my family for their loving encouragement, which motivated me to complete my dissertation. They have guided me with motivation, encouragement, and words of wisdom. I am eternally grateful for their support and help throughout this journey. Thank you for everything. Sometimes, something happens to us, and the words “destiny” and “fate” seem to accurately describe the strange occurrence. For me, Live Aid—the cross-continental mega charity rock concert and one of the main subjects explored in my study—was one of those magic moments. I still vividly remember the day of the concert, July 13, 1985; it was an eye-opening revelation that ultimately led me to become a rock and roll enthusiast, and to say that the concert changed my life is still a vast understatement. I had heard the music of Duran Duran, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Madonna, and Bob Dylan, but I had never seen any of them perform. However, the concert was not just about the music but about saving people’s lives in Ethiopia, dying from hunger and famine.
