  • Rosa Katz: Oral History Transcript
    Rosa Katz: Oral History Transcript www.wisconsinhistory.org/HolocaustSurvivors/Katz. asp Name: Rachel (Rosa) Goldberg Katz (1924–2012) Birth Place: Lodz, Poland Arrived in Wisconsin: 1953, Oshkosh Project Name: Oral Histories: Wisconsin Survivors Rosa Katz of the Holocaust Biography: Rachel (Rosa) Goldberg Katz was born in Lodz, Poland, on May 6, 1924, to a well-to-do family with liberal Jewish beliefs. In 1935, her sister and brother-in-law immigrated to Palestine while the rest of the family remained in Poland. When the Germans occupied Lodz in 1939, 15-year-old Rosa was among the thousands of Jews crowded into the city's ghetto. Three years later, in July 1942, her mother was deported from the ghetto and never heard from again. In August 1944, the Lodz Ghetto was liquidated. Its starving residents, including Rosa, her father, brother, and sister-in-law, Hela, were all shipped to Auschwitz. There she was separated from her father and brother. She never saw them again. German officials mistakenly sent Rosa and hundreds of other Jewish women (instead of French prisoners) to work at the Krupp munitions factory in Berlin. For eight months, Rosa assembled delicate timepieces for German bombs. In March 1945, she was transferred to the death camp in Ravensbruck, Germany. The Swedish Red Cross liberated the camp within a month of her arrival. Its inhabitants were transported to Sweden where Rosa recuperated for several years. She married Bernard Katz there (also a survivor). In April 1948, they came to the U.S. Initially settling in North Carolina, the Katz family moved to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in 1953.

McKENZIE, Commissioner TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS AT SYDNEY ON THURSDAY, 17 JULY 2003, AT 9.09 AM Continued from 15/7/03 DDA 1332 dda170303.doc MRS OWENS: Good morning. Welcome to the public hearing for the Productivity Commission inquiry into the Disability Discrimination Act 1992, which we will refer to as the DDA. My name is Helen Owens, I'm the presiding commissioner. On my left is my associate commissioner, Cate McKenzie. The hearing will have breaks for morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. We will need to stick fairly closely to the timetable today, because we've got a lot of participants. On 5 February this year the government asked the commission to review the DDA and the Disability Discrimination Regulations 1996. The terms of reference for the inquiry ask us to examine the social impact of the DDA on people with disabilities and on the community as a whole. Among other things, the commission is required to assess the costs and benefits of the DDA and its effectiveness in achieving its objectives. We have already talked informally to a wide range of organisations and individuals. The purpose of this hearing today is to provide an opportunity for interested parties to discuss their submissions and their views on the public record. We will be holding hearings in Melbourne following the hearings today and tomorrow in Sydney.

    MIT Contw inuou lsi Massachusetts' Sithnew erie188 Friday, -Novemnber~17, 1989 Volume 109, Nlumber 51 | re or ON dosing By iReuvena M. Lerner The faculty discussed possible changes in freshman housing and a proposed pornography policy at their monthly meeting on Wednesday. Professor Mary C. Potter, who chaired the Freshman Housinlg Committee, summarized her committee's report for the faculty. She said that the "4residenltial experience is essential" for a full undergrad- uate educational experience, and described the present system of as- signing 'living groups as "~exciting, but chaotic."' Potter said that under the new programn, all freshmen would be pre- assigned to dormitories before arriving at 1MIT, and would live there for at least one year. Instead of the currenzt Residence/Orientation Weeks freshmen would participate in "Orientation Weekc," during which freshmen wo:uld participate in "mcore effective" orientation ac- tivities than presently exist. Faculty reactions to the proposal were generally negative. Associate Professor James L. Kirtley '67 said he was "caught by surprise" by the housing report, and called it a "'lousy idea." He also disputed the committee's opinion that foreign and minority students are underrep- resented at ILG's. Kirtley said that while this might have been true in the past, it is nlo longer the case. Undergraduate Association President Paul Antico '91 said that while freshmen might be unhappy with the residence choices they Williamn Chu/The Tech make, "choice based on limited knowledge is better than no choice at Students slept on the sculptures and enjoyed the last days of -Indiana summer this all." He encouraged -the faculty to "attack student housing problems week.

  • Can You Predict a Hit?
    CAN YOU PREDICT A HIT? FINDING POTENTIAL HIT SONGS THROUGH LAST.FM PREDICTORS BACHELOR THESIS MARVIN SMIT (0720798) DEPARTMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RADBOUD UNIVERSITEIT NIJMEGEN SUPERVISORS: DR. L.G. VUURPIJL DR. F. GROOTJEN Abstract In the field of Music Information Retrieval, studies on Hit Song Science are becoming more and more popular. The concept of predicting whether a song has the potential to become a hit song is an interesting challenge. This paper describes my research on how hit song predictors can be utilized to predict hit songs. Three subject groups of predictors were gathered from the Last.fm service, based on a selection of past hit songs from the record charts. By gathering new data from these predictors and using a term frequency-inversed document frequency algorithm on their listened tracks, I was able to determine which songs had the potential to become a hit song. The results showed that the predictors have a better sense on listening to potential hit songs in comparison to their corresponding control groups.
