  • ABBC 2016 Annual Report
    IMPACT FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ANNUAL REPORT 2016 ATLANTA BETTER BUILDINGS CHALLENGE One of my proudest accomplishments as Mayor of Atlanta is the tremendous success achieved through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge (ABBC). The Office of Resilience has partnered with businesses and nonprofit organizations to implement a comprehensive, voluntary program to increase energy and water efficiency in our building stock. The Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge invites participating building owners to commit to a 20 percent reduction in energy and water use by year 2020. With more than 114 million square feet of building space and more than 600 buildings pledged, Atlanta has earned its spot as a leader on the efficiency scoreboard. Since 2011, this successful public-private partnership between the City of Atlanta, Central Atlanta Progress, Livable Buckhead, Midtown Alliance and Southface has positioned Atlanta as a national leader in energy and water efficiency. We surpassed our water reduction goal five years ahead of schedule, and we’re quickly closing the gap on our energy goal, having already reduced our portfolio’s energy consumption by 17 percent. Through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge, participants are saving money on bills now, while helping to ensure a more resilient future for all Atlantans. This program plays a pivotal role in furthering Atlanta as a top-tier city for sustainability. We hope to inspire other cities by our achievements and lead by example as we continue to make big strides in reducing our energy and water usage. Thanks to our participants in the Challenge. Sincerely, Mayor Kasim Reed INTRODUCTION | 03 IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR BUILDINGS 20 PERCENT BY 2020 The goal of the Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Resource conservation efforts not only support the City’s Challenge is to improve the efficiency of commercial, sustainability efforts and lead to a cleaner and healthier institutional, industrial, and multifamily buildings by 20% or place to live and work, but the dollar savings achieved more by 2020.

CREATIING CULTURAL CONNECTIONS: A RENAISSANCE IN MIDTOWN BETWEEN 1900 AND 1983 by SUSAN PRYOR TINDALL Under the Direction of John McMillian, PhD ABSTRACT This dissertation documents a time between 1960 and 1983 in Midtown when a complex set of social, political, and cultural forces merged to challenge the dominance of elite groups of businessmen and arts patrons who had dominated growth and development there since the early 1920s. I argue that interaction among these disparate groups affected the character of Midtown, making the community a more vibrant, inclusive, and interesting place to live and do business. After experiencing softer and less militant approaches to resistance, members of the Atlanta Arts Alliance adopted fresh approaches to the meaning of “Art,” and ways that creativity became more representative of the multicultural Atlanta community. Many members shifted away from positions of cultural exclusivity into a realm that appealed to a more diverse population.

(Doc. 154). The Court held a hearing on the Motion on March 28, 2019. Debtor filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code on April 3, 2018. (Doc. 1). On September 13, 2018, Debtor voluntarily converted her case from Chapter 13 to Chapter 7. Debtor now seeks reconversion of her case to Chapter 13. Debtor does not explain why she would like to reconvert other than stating her “intention Case 18-55697-lrc Doc 178 Filed 06/04/19 Entered 06/04/19 09:10:37 Desc Main Document Page 2 of 14 of maintaining and sustaining [Debtor’s] personal property in the bankruptcy.” (Doc. 154).

  • Letter to Congress
    June 15th, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Charles Schumer Speaker of the House Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. Senate H-232, U.S. Capitol S-221, U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress, As leaders from many diverse faith traditions, we are united in our call for a bold economic recovery and infrastructure package that creates family and community sustaining jobs while caring for our climate and our neighbors. It is the moral responsibility of our nation, and our sacred task as people of faith, to protect our ecosystems, work for environmental justice and public health, and address the climate crisis. We urge you to support historic levels of investment that will safeguard Creation, address the impacts of climate change and pollution from fossil fuel extraction and related industries, and fulfill our moral obligation to leave a habitable world for future generations. Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) and low-income communities have been hit the hardest by the triple health, economic, and environmental crises we face. The needs of these communities must be at the center of any infrastructure package. As we move from COVID relief to economic recovery, this moment offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in the clean energy future while addressing the injustices of the past. We can achieve that by: Expanding clean, renewable energy and modernizing our electric grid We can accelerate the transition to clean energy by passing a national Clean Energy Standard that achieves 100% renewable, pollution free electricity by 2035, while also expanding investments in wind and solar power.

  • Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 By
    Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 By Elizabeth Sallinger M.M., Duquesne University, 2010 B.A., Pennsylvania State University, 2008 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Paul R. Laird Roberta Freund Schwartz Bryan Kip Haaheim Colin Roust Leslie Bennett Date Defended: 5 December 2016 ii The dissertation committee for Elizabeth Sallinger certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 Chair: Paul R. Laird Date Approved: 5 December 2016 iii Abstract In 1968, the sound of the Broadway pit was forever changed with the rock ensemble that accompanied Hair. The musical backdrop for the show was appropriate for the countercultural subject matter, taking into account the popular genres of the time that were connected with such figures, and marrying them to other musical styles to help support the individual characters. Though popular styles had long been part of Broadway scores, it took more than a decade for rock to become a major influence in the commercial theater. The associations an audience had with rock music outside of a theater affected perception of the plot and characters in new ways and allowed for shows to be marketed toward younger demographics, expanding the audience base. Other shows contemporary to Hair began to include rock music and approaches as well; composers and orchestrators incorporated instruments such as electric guitar, bass, and synthesizer, amplification in the pit, and backup singers as components of their scores.

Nonpartisanship is a cornerstone principle that has strengthened the public’s trust of the charitable community. In exchange for enjoying tax-exempt status and the ability to receive tax-deductible contributions, 501(c)(3) organizations – charitable nonprofits, including religious congregations, and foundations – agree to not engage in “any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.” That provision of law protects the integrity and independence of charitable nonprofits and foundations.
