  • Thomas Tull Donates Iconic 1960 World Series Artifacts to Heinz
    Media Contact: Brady Smith 412-454-6459 [email protected] Thomas Tull Donates Iconic 1960 World Series Artifacts to Heinz History Center -Thanks to a generous donation from Alba and Thomas Tull, Bill Mazeroski’s iconic uniform and bat from Game 7 will be exhibited every day at the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum- PITTSBURGH, April 5, 2017 – As the Pirates prepare for their home opener this weekend, baseball fans in Pittsburgh can now relive one of the greatest moments in sports history every day at the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum. Thanks to a generous donation from Alba and Thomas Tull, Bill Mazeroski’s iconic uniform and bat from Game 7 of the 1960 World Series will be exhibited at the Sports Museum, part of the Smithsonian-affiliated Senator John Heinz History Center. On Oct. 13, 1960, Mazeroski led off the bottom of the ninth inning and smashed the historic home run over the left field wall at Forbes Field, lifting the Pirates to a 10-9 victory over the mighty New York Yankees to clinch their third World Series championship. Maz’s legendary round-tripper remains the only walk-off Game 7 home run in World Series history. Tull, founder of the Tull Investment Group and part of the Steelers’ ownership group, has adopted Pittsburgh as his second home. The Tulls support many charitable causes in the region, including Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, Carnegie Science Center, Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, Pittsburgh Promise, and the Tull Family Theater in Sewickley. As an avid sports fan, Thomas wanted to share the iconic Maz items with his “fellow Pittsburghers.” “We are thrilled that Pirates fans can relive Maz’s epic 1960 World Series home run every day at the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum,” said the Tulls.

The 45-minute sensory-friendly STEM-by-the-Hour live program focuses on engineering, forces, experimentation, and forces and interaction. Students and patients from The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh will tune in virtually to create sculptures, build arches, and assemble other unique constructions with Carnegie Science Center educators. The lesson is geared for Grades K-5-level students. To complement what the children are learning on a screen, Science Center team members are creating at-home kits to offer an interactive component to the engineering lesson. “Many families have been at a loss for activities with their children during the pandemic,” said Angela Nofi, M.Ed., BCBA, LBS, director of autism services at The Children’s Institute, which provides educational, behavioral health, and physical health services for students with autism, multiple disabilities, and emotional support needs. “Partnering with the team at the Carnegie Science Center, we’re able to create an opportunity that’s fun and educational, and also make it inclusive for children with autism and other unique needs who have sensory sensitivities that might limit opportunities to be involved in community events.

  • Survey of Contemporary Horror Fiction Kendyll Clark Summer II 2006
    Clark 1 Survey of Contemporary Horror Fiction Kendyll Clark Summer II 2006 Clark 2 Introduction What scares you? Fear manifests in many different ways for every being on this earth. However diverse these horrific episodes may be, there is one universal element common to every human experience: We all have fears. One avenue through which we can explore, identify and even vicariously experience our most primal fears is through horror fiction. H.P. Lovecraft said: The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. These facts few psychologists will dispute, and their truth must establish for all time the genuineness and dignity of the weirdly horrible tale as literary form (www.quotationspage.com). Coupled with Lovecraft's fear of the unknown is the fear of any threat to our fragile mortality, fear of anything that may potentially cause physical harm to our being. This is a phobia innate to every person. The most precious and frail endowment of human existence is our ability to sustain and promote our humanity. When this gift is threatened in any way, shape or form, a fear is created. There are several ways through which we can more concretely define these fears, subcategories to the dread of any danger to our delicate subsistence. For example, fear of the unexplained. This phobia can be defined as dread of that which we cannot rationalize with existing or obtainable evidence. Another is the fear of the unseen. This phobia could be described as fright of something that is intangible or concealed.

FIREFLY 3.10 3.10 Zombies, Reavers, Butchers, and Actuals in Joss Whedon's Work Gerry Canavan For all the standard horror movie monsters Joss Whedon took up in Buffy and Angel-vampires, of course, but also ghosts, demons, werewolves, witches, Frankenstein's monster, the Devil, mummies, haunted puppets, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, the "bad boyfriend," and so on-you'd think there would have been more zombies. In twelve years of television across both series zombies appear in only a handful of episodes. They attack almost as an afterthought at Buffy's drama-laden homecoming party early in Buffy Season 3 ("Dead Man's Party" 3.2); they completely ruin Xander's evening in "The Zeppo" (3.13) later that same season; they patrol Angel's Los Angeles neighborhood in "The Thin Dead Line" (2.14) in Angel Season 2; they stalk the halls of Wolfram & Hart in "Habeas Corpses" (4.8) in Angel Season 4. A single zombie comes back from the dead to work things out with the girlfriend who poisoned him in a subplot in "Provider" (3.12) in Angel Season 3; Adam uses science to reanimate dead bodies to make his lab assistants near the end of Buffy Season 4 ("Primeval" 4.21); zombies guard a fail-safe device in the basement of Wolfram & Hart in "You're Welcome" (3.12) in Angel Season 5.
