( + CONCERT REVIEW: BEETHOVEN MEETS COLDPLAY BY: CAVAN MCGINSIE “Coldplay explores, through their music and lyrics, universal themes such as doubt, fear, hope and love; many would assert that, out of any composer, Beethoven most directly and strikingly addresses these themes.” It is with this thought in mind that Steve Hackman sat down to compose his orchestral piece, “Coldplay V. Beethoven.” It was the perfect piece for the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s Happy Hour series. The Happy Hour is being utilized to bring the ostensibly sophisticated symphony to a younger, inexperienced crowd. This past Thursday’s Happy Hour marked the 5th anniversary of the affair — which is the brainchild of Steve Hackman and artists-in-residence, Time For Three — and it was evident that the event is effective. PHOTO CREDIT: CAVAN MCGINSIE Looking around the ornate, expansive lobby of the Hilbert Circle Theatre (home to the ISO since 1984,) I saw young, old, male, female, blue collar, white collar, pink collar, maybe even some teal and gold collars. The packed room was ebullient as everyone moved around one another, chatting over plastic cups filled with Shellback Rum & Coke, Stella Artois, Prairie Vodka Cucumber Cocktails, and red, red wine. Seeing the mass, buzzing around in anticipation for the sold- out event, it was hard to believe we nearly lost the ISO in 2012. It was a major improvement from my first experience with the Happy Hour series back in 2010, where the crowd was quite lacking. Despite the small crowd, the show, even at its conception, had been exhilarating for me. I had high hopes as I made my way to my seat. (If you go, claim your spot early by tossing your coat on a seat to avoid the nosebleed, since it's general admission.) The backdrop looked like a sky full of stars, reminiscent of Coldplay’s newest single and Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. Time For Three made their way onto stage and moved immediately into a beautiful, Celtic-y rendition of the quiet, happy, little known Coldplay song U.F.O. The piece evoked much emotion and had an enormous response from the crowd. It set the bar for the rest of Steve Hackman’s piece. converted by Web2PDFConvert.com TIME FOR THREE VIA THE INDY STAR After thanking the sponsors, Hackman proceeded to explain his thought process on the piece, which tied the lyrics of Coldplay and the life of Beethoven together. He then announced the trio of singers for the evening: Will Post, Ben Jones, and Malia Civetz. Steve raised his baton, the audience hushed, and the Eroica commenced. Allegro con Brio, the first movement, was deftly blended with the lyrics from Clocks, 42, and Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall. The piece was wonderfully composed and the instrumentals were striking. Post, Jones, and Civetz, inspiringly layered their vocals with the instrumentals. All three vocalists were incredibly talented and yet all had entirely different styles, which was gave the performance a nice diverse sound. Civetz, a 20-year-old in her junior year at USC, was my favorite vocalist of the evening and showed off her soulful, heartfelt voice in the second movement, during her rendition of The Scientist. Backed by Chicagoan, Will Post, she blew the audience away. While the entirety of the group tried to make the next song, Princess In China, work, I was terribly underwhelmed by that song and thought it a poor choice. Not that anyone in this performance was doing anything wrong, but it made it glaringly obvious how cheesy and childish the Coldplay lyrics are. (Sidenote: I love Coldplay. I’ve seen them live multiple times. That song’s lyrics are ridiculous though.) The performance went on to the best of all four movements, the Finale. Viva La Vida’s lyrics rang out over the symphony and when the instruments jumped into the signature anthemic “Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-ohh, whoa-oh-whoa-oh-ohhhh” originally sung by Chris Martin, it was perfection. The piece ended with the moving, hopeful, yet emotional song about being in a relationship with someone with a tortured past, Fix You. The last few measures tied back into The Scientist, which had been the strongest part of the whole. As the vocals finished, “Now let’s go back to the start,” the audience rose from their seats and sounded an emphatic applause. converted by Web2PDFConvert.com PHOTO CREDIT: @KARENMANGIA All in all, Happy Hour was everything it set out to be five years ago. It was a meshing of two time-periods, two artists, and two cultures. It was successful. The most successful it has been since it began. I believe it was a great night for all that attended and for the performers. I hope it continues and thrives. Most of all, I hope to see you at the next one in April. I know I will be there!

  • Emotional and Spatial Learning in Goldfish Is Dependent on Different

    Emotional and Spatial Learning in Goldfish Is Dependent on Different

    European Journal of Neuroscience, Vol. 21, pp. 2800–2806, 2005 ª Federation of European Neuroscience Societies Emotional and spatial learning in goldfish is dependent on different telencephalic pallial systems Manuel Portavella1,* and Juan P. Vargas2 1Departamento de Psicologı´a Experimental. Universidad de Sevilla. C ⁄ Camilo Jose´ Cela s ⁄ n, E-41018, Seville, Spain 2SISSA. Cognitive Neuroscience Sector. Via Beirut, 2 ⁄ 4, 34014 Trieste, Italy Keywords: amygdala, avoidance learning, brain evolution, hippocampus, memory systems Abstract In mammals, the amygdala and the hippocampus are involved in different aspects of learning. Whereas the amygdala complex is involved in emotional learning, the hippocampus plays a critical role in spatial and contextual learning. In fish, it has been suggested that the medial and lateral region of the telencephalic pallia might be the homologous neural structure to the mammalian amygdala and hippocampus, respectively. Although there is evidence of the implication of medial and lateral pallium in several learning processes, it remains unclear whether both pallial areas are involved distinctively in different learning processes. To address this issue, we examined the effect of selective ablation of the medial and lateral pallium on both two-way avoidance and reversal spatial learning in goldfish. The results showed that medial pallium lesions selectively impaired the two-way avoidance task. In contrast, lateral pallium ablations impaired the spatial task without affecting the avoidance performance. These results indicate that the medial and lateral pallia in fish are functionally different and necessary for emotional and spatial learning, respectively. Present data could support the hypothesis that a sketch of these regions of the limbic system, and their associated functions, were present in the common ancestor of fish and terrestrial vertebrates 400 million years ago.

    Discourse and Identity: Representations of Women in Little Mix’S Songs

    DISCOURSE AND IDENTITY: REPRESENTATIONS OF WOMEN IN LITTLE MIX’S SONGS BY ALYA AISYAH BINTI AMRAN INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA 2020 DISCOURSE AND IDENTITY: REPRESENTATIONS OF WOMEN IN LITTLE MIX’S SONGS BY ALYA AISYAH BINTI AMRAN A Final Year Project submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of English for International Communications Kulliyyah of Languages and Management International Islamic University Malaysia JANUARY 2020 ABSTRACT Discrimination against women is a global issue and has been for years. Even in developing countries women experience biasness on the basis of their gender. The study aims to identify the different social roles and traits of women that can be found in song lyrics. Past studies explored various issues of what women face in their daily lives whether it be in education, social relationships and decision making in context of gender discrimination that are present in the media and songs. This is an exploratory study on representations of women in songs. The artist chosen for this study is the United Kingdom’s all female group, Little Mix. A qualitative research approach was used to fulfill the objectives of this research. A total of 29 Little Mix songs were chosen as the data and Membership Categorization Analysis was used as the framework of this research. Based on the analyses, a total of five social roles and three traits were found shared among women that were present in the songs. Women were represented both positively and negatively in Little Mix’s songs. The study may contribute to future studies that uses Membership Categorization Analysis as their framework of study.

    Proper 19 (Series B) “Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness”

    Proper 19 (Series B) “Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness” (Lutheran Service Book #849) For our hymn of the day assigned to this Sunday, we are fortunate to have insight from the author himself, Rev. Rusty Edwards. He says about his hymn text: “Have you ever started to do one thing, and then ended up doing something else? That’s exactly what happened with the writing of ‘Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness.’ I intended to create a Bible study. This study would look at the life and unique ministry of Jesus. I wanted people to get closer to Jesus. We would ask the question, ‘What on earth did Jesus really do?’ Of course, the way to build a study such as this was to go back to the Bible, and read again, with new eyes, the story of his life. I did just that, and was amazed at what he did. I began with the gospel of Mark, but then continued with the three other gospels. As I prayed, studied and thanked God for the life of Jesus, I began to write down some of his works. The list grew longer. Suddenly, I gazed down at the list, and the list looked almost like a hymn. That’s when the Bible study got put on hold for a while! I wish I could take credit for the wide use of the hymn, but I really can’t. The Holy Spirit was the one who changed my mind, the Bible study became a song. The popularity of this song has everything to do with the message of the story.

  • Your Inner Fish

    Your Inner Fish

    CHAPTER FIVE GETTING AHEAD It was two nights before my anatomy final and I was in the lab at around two in the morning, memorizing the cranial nerves. There are twelve cranial nerves, each branching to take bizarre twists and turns through the inside of the skull. To study them, we bisected the skull from forehead to chin and sawed open some of the bones of the cheek. So there I was, holding half of the head in each hand, tracing the twisted paths that the nerves take from our brains to the different muscles and sense organs inside. I was enraptured by two of the cranial nerves, the trigeminal and the facial. Their complicated pattern boiled down to something so simple, so outrageously easy that I saw the human head in a new way. That insight came from understanding the far simpler state of affairs in sharks. The elegance of my realization—though not its novelty; comparative anatomists had had it a century or more ago— and the pressure of the upcoming exam led me to forget where I was. At some point, I looked around. It was the middle of the night and I was alone in the lab. I also 108 happened to be surrounded by the bodies of twenty-five human beings under sheets. For the first and last time, I got the willies. I worked myself into such a lather that the hairs on the back of my neck rose, my feet did their job, and within a nanosecond I found myself at the bus stop, out of breath.
