Enhancement and design decisions for the Buddy Holly Center are established with proprietary evidence. Site Inventory is a process which the designer uses to assess the context and Site Analysis is the interpretation of the forces influencing a site. Conceptual design is an iterative process which entails the designer to test, make and repeat until a refined design emerges. The methodologies implemented during the design development range from sketches, models, doodles, etc., thus, leading into finished documents.

  • West Texas Fiddlers and the Buddy Holly Center "Hardy Pioneers" And
    Carr: West Texas Fiddlers and the Buddy Holly Center West Texas Fiddlers and the B “Hardy Pioneers” and Amarillo’s Panhandle Fiddle Contests By Joe Carr In the period from 1928 to 1931, at least six fiddle contests were held in Amarillo, Texas, most under the auspices of the Tri-State Fair Association. Contemporary newspaper re- ports offer interesting insights into the workings of the contests and the activities of the contestants, giving us a fascinating glimpse into the lives and fortunes of numerous early Panhandle fiddlers, including noted musicians Eck Robertson, J. T. Wills - father of Western Swing legend Bob Wills, Jess Morris, and others.1 Census statistics indicate just over 15,000 Amarillo residents in 1920, and the town had grown to a city of 43,000 by 1930.2 Amarillo’s older citizens who noticed the changing landscape may have had fond memories of the old days, and the Old Fiddler contests gave them an opportunity to enjoy what was perceived as a fast dying art.

Created by Grove Atlantic and Electric Literature. Susan Bernofsky. In a remote Swiss village, a grandfather tells a story during a christening, a tale that portends evil at large in society and provides a vision of cosmic horror. Jeremias Gotthelf was the pen name of Albert Bitzius, a Swiss pastor and writer who used his work to communicate his reformist concerns with regard to education and the plight of the poor. Next Article Hunter S. Now while I do readily admit that Die schwarze Spinne is definitely and in particular wit So yes, I did have a pretty massive and extensively comprehensive mandatory reading list for my second comprehensive exam for my PhD in German literature and of course and naturally, Jeremias Gotthelf's frame narrative horror novella Die schwarze Spinne The Black Spider was as a classic of 19th century Swiss German literature featured on said list and therefore also and absolutely required reading. Now while I do readily admit that Die schwarze Spinne is definitely and in particular with regard to Jeremias Gotthelf's writing style and his modes of literary expression absolutely and definitely a shining example of Swiss Biedermeier but that I actually and personally do tend to consider Biedermeier as in fact being simply and primarily a part of poetic realism and thus not all that much if at all a separate literary epoch , I for one have mostly extremely and personally uncomfortably negative reading experience memories of Die schwarze Spinne.

  • Ridin' Old Paint: Documenting the Canadian River Breaks Fiddle
    Wilkinson: Ridin' Old Paint W uddy Holly Center Pioneers”“Hardy Fiddlers and the Buddy Holly Center • Texas est Ridin’ Old Paint: Documenting the Canadian River Breaks Fiddle Tradition By Andy Wilkinson I did the best part of my growing up and got the best part of my education around the cowboys in the Canadian River Breaks of Texas. We lived on a relatively small outfit, but we were surrounded by the big outfits-the Bivins Coldwater Cattle Com- pany, the Killgores, the upper Matadors down the road. When we went to Channing to get supplies cowboys still tethered their horses and walked the short main street, and the air was filled with the sound of spurs jingling in unison with the clop of bootheels on the old boardwalk where the cowboys strolled in full regalia. When I was very young I thought of these cowboys as gods and wanted to walk and talk like them, be like them, know and live by their ways. The Breaks were full of music. My four sisters sang like angels in the shape-note harmonies of the old gospel music. I would discover that there were many fine musi- cians, poets and even laymen scholars steeped in the classics among the cowboys. We were Primitive Baptists and I was in my teens before I could devise my itinerary in 49 such a way that I could go to the cowboy dances. I had already learned from them some of the old songs, but when I heard their string band ensembles playing the old fiddle music, I knew I would always be a better listener than performer.

    Bob Dylan’s American Journey, 1956-1966 September 29, 2006, through January 6, 2007 Exhibition Labels Exhibit Introductory Panel I Think I’ll Call It America Born into changing times, Bob Dylan shaped history in song. “Life’s a voyage that’s homeward bound.” So wrote Herman Melville, author of the great tall tale Moby Dick and one of the American mythmakers whose legacy Bob Dylan furthers. Like other great artists this democracy has produced, Dylan has come to represent the very historical moment that formed him. Though he calls himself a humble song and dance man, Dylan has done more to define American creative expression than anyone else in the past half-century, forming a new poetics from his emblematic journey. A small town boy with a wandering soul, Dylan was born into a post-war landscape of possibility and dread, a culture ripe for a new mythology. Learning his craft, he traveled a road that connected the civil rights movement to the 1960s counterculture and the revival of American folk music to the creation of the iconic rock star. His songs reflected these developments and, resonating, also affected change. Bob Dylan, 1962 Photo courtesy of John Cohen Section 1: Hibbing Red Iron Town Bobby Zimmerman was a typical 1950’s kid, growing up on Elvis and television. Northern Minnesota seems an unlikely place to produce an icon of popular music—it’s leagues away from music birthplaces like Memphis and New Orleans, and seems as cold and characterless as the South seems mysterious. Yet growing up in the small town of Hibbing, Bob Dylan discovered his musical heritage through radio stations transmitting blues and country from all over, and formed his own bands to practice the newfound religion of rock ‘n’ roll.

  • Teaching Basic First-Aid Skills Against Home Accidents to Children with Autism Through Video Modeling
    Educational Sciences: Theory & Practice - 12(4) • Autumn • 2759-2766 ©2012 Educational Consultancy and Research Center www.edam.com.tr/estp Teaching Basic First-Aid Skills against Home Accidents to Children with Autism through Video Modeling Yasemin ERGENEKONa Anadolu University Abstract It is known that children with DD can learn first-aid skills and use whenever needed. Applying first-aid skills was taught to three inclusion students with autism through “first-aid skills training package”. In the study multiple probe design with probe trials across behaviors was used. The findings indicated that first-aid skills training package was effective and the subjects maintai- ned and generalized their acquired skills to the cuts, abrasions, and minor burns on their own or researcher’s different parts of body and to different materials. Social validity data that was collected through social comparison revealed that the subjects could not accomplish these tar- get behaviors before the intervention but their peers with normal development could accomplish these skills at 78% level. Key Words Basic First-Aid Skills, Safety Skills, Home Accidents, Video Modeling, Children with Autism. The longest term objective of the education of indi- may increase in the daily lives of those people (Col- viduals with developmental disabilities (DD) is to lins, Wolery, & Gast, 1991; Hoch, Taylor, & Rod- teach them the skills which are essential for them riguez, 2009; Mechling; Taber, Alberto, Seltzer, & to live as a part of the society as independent as Hughes, 2003).
