    TRIP TO AUSTRALIA MARCH 4 TO APRIL 3, 2014 We timed this trip so that we'd be in Australia at the beginning of their fall season, reasoning that had we come two months earlier we would have experienced some of the most brutal summer weather that the continent had ever known. Temperatures over 40°C (104°F) were common in the cities that we planned to visit: Sydney (in New South Wales), Melbourne* (in Victoria), and Adelaide (in South Australia); and _____________________________________________________________ *Melbourne, for example, had a high of 47°C (117°F) on January 21; and several cities in the interior regions of NSW, Vic, and SA had temperatures of about 50°C (122°F) during Decem ber-January. _______________________________________________________________ there were dangerous brush fires not far from populated areas. As it turned out, we were quite fortunate: typical daily highs were around 25°C (although Adelaide soared to 33°C several days after we left it) and there were only a couple of days of rain. In m y earlier travelogs, I paid tribute to m y wife for her brilliant planning of our journey. So it was this time as well. In the months leading up to our departure, we (i.e., Lee) did yeoman (yeowoman? yo, woman?) work in these areas: (1) deciding which regions of Australia to visit; (2) scouring web sites, in consultation with the travel agency Southern Crossings, for suitable lodging; (3) negotiating with Southern Crossings (with the assistance of Stefan Bisciglia of Specialty Cruise and Villas, a fam ily-run travel agency in Gig Harbor) concerning city and country tours, tickets to events, advice on sights, etc.; and (4) reading several web sites and travel books.

  • Our Kind of People: Social Status and Class Awareness in Post -Reconstruction African American Fiction
    OUR KIND OF PEOPLE: SOCIAL STATUS AND CLASS AWARENESS IN POST -RECONSTRUCTION AFRICAN AMERICAN FICTION Andreá N. Williams A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: William L. Andrews Reader: James W. Coleman Reader: Philip F. Gura Reader: Trudier Harris Reader: Jane F. Thrailkill © 2006 Andreá N. Williams ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ANDREÁ N. WILLIAMS: Our Kind of People: Social Status and Class Awareness in Post -Reconstruction African American Fiction (Under the dir ection of William L. Andrews) Postbellum African American fiction provides an index to the complex attitudes toward social status and class divisions that arose within post -Civil War black communities. As I argue, African American narratives in the last quarter of the nineteenth century encode the discourse of class in discussions of respectability, labor, and discrimination. Conceiving of class as a concept that does not necessarily denote economic conditions, both well -known and largely ignored narrativ es of the period emphasize moral and ideological parameters for judging social distinctions. Writers theorize whether intraracial class stratification thwarts black sociopolitical advancement, fracturing black communities from within, or conversely, foster s racial uplift led by the black “better class.” Though the fiction variably delineates social classes, each of the texts under study in Our Kind of People imagines classification as an inevitable and useful means of reforming the turn -of-the-century Ameri can social order. Subverting the class disparity spurred by Gilded Age materialism, Frances E.

This volume has been prepared at the suggestion of friends of the late Isaac Moorhead as a Memorial of in his worth as a man and his ability as a writer, and order to preserve in this more permanent form some portion of his valuable writings. Most of the articles appeared originally in the form of Letters contributed to one or other of the newspapers of his native town. They were read at the time with a great deal of interest, and are still remembered, both on account of their literary merit, and because they are laden with many important facts of local and general history. The titles of the various pieces generally indicate suf- ficiently their character and the time when they were written. Other explanations with regard to them will " be found in the sketch of his life which precedes, or brief notes in the course of the volume. The compiler and editor, in addition to preparing the sketch just men- tioned, has done little more than arrange the order of the articles and correct manifest errors arising from over- sight or accident.

  • Do the Upfronts Still Matter? by Steve Sternberg
    May 2021 #107 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ Do the Upfronts Still Matter? By Steve Sternberg For American television viewers, the start of the new primetime network television season is still four months away. For insiders at media agencies, networks, and advertisers (as well as television analysts like me), the upfront season has placed thoughts of September squarely into May and June. The major media companies just announced their respective fall TV schedules in a series of presentations to the advertising industry. This marks the start of the “upfront,” when advertisers spend upward of $20 billion buying commercial time on national television programs scheduled to air during the next broadcast year (September-August). The once highly anticipated “upfront week” has become a much more subdued affair. Because of the pandemic, this is the second year in a row of virtual presentations, which simply don’t have the same cachet as live events at Radio City, Carnegie Hall, or Lincoln Center, and the subsequent celebrity- filled after-parties. There also used to be a fair amount of anticipation among the general public. After the upfront schedule announcements, pundits would proliferate on syndicated entertainment magazine shows, and in print magazines, and newspapers, throughout the summer talking about the new fall TV shows. Online chatter and buzz would ensue. There used to be little else happening in A Sternberg Report Sponsored Message If you can see this, so can thousands of other advertising and media professionals and decision makers.
