What Is Watershed Radio? ABSTRACT CREATING AN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION WEBSITE AT THE SMITHSONIAN ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH CENTER By Anna Maria Henrica van der Heijden This report describes my 16-week internship at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) in Edgewater, MD, where I started on 29 January 2001 as an “Education Specialist/Web Developer” at SERC’s education department. I was responsible for the website for the Education Department and for a website related to Watershed Radio, an environmental education project about the Chesapeake Bay watershed. In this report, I describe the five phases of the development of the website, namely the 1) Information Planning Phase; 2) Content-Specification Phase; 3) Implementation Phase; 4) Production Phase; and 5) Evaluation Phase. I also discuss the difference between education and advocacy and how the combination of a non-contextualized model and a website-specific tutorial provides a good basis for developing a website. The internship report ends with the conclusion that my internship was successful; although I could have done a better job of planning and managing my project, I delivered a well-received product, learned a lot, and worked with great colleagues at an interesting organization.

I had (and have) a great time at SERC and not in the least because of the fun and excitement that is part of our office spirit. And I want to thank Jim DeLorbe and the Sierra Club ducks Chris Bedford, Robin Jung, Janis Oppelt, and Andy Roberts for working with me on Watershed Radio and without whom the Watershed Radio project—and my internship—would not have existed. Although it has been a year since I left the campus of Miami University, I still, every day, benefit from the intense course work that was part of our Master of Technical and Scientific Communication (MTSC) program at Miami University, and I would like to thank Jean Lutz and the MTSC faculty for helping me develop the skills to undertake an internship like the one described in this report. Special thanks go to my internship committee and its chair person Michele Simmons, for always being helpful and for providing constructive feedback on my draft report. And to Katherine Durack, in whose class I learned the basics about web design and who brought my attention to the important issue of developing websites that are accessible for people with disabilities. iv Chapter 1. Introduction to Internship This report describes the internship I carried out at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) as part of the Master of Technical and Scientific Communication (MTSC) program at Miami University, Ohio. On 29 January 2001, I started as a full-time employee at SERC, and in this report I will describe and analyze my activities in my 16-week internship, which began 29 January 2001 and ended 18 May 2001. In this first chapter I will describe the organization, my position within SERC, and how my work fit with the overall goals of the organization. After this introductory chapter, chapter 2 will discuss how I divided my time between various activities. As we will see, I spent most of my time on developing the Watershed Radio website, a project that I will discuss in more detail in chapter 3. Finally, in chapter 4, I will evaluate this project, as well as my overall internship at SERC. 1.1 Introduction to Smithsonian Institution and Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) is part of the Smithsonian Institution, a widely known organization that consists of the National Zoo, 16 museums and several research centers. The Institution was founded in 1846 with a gift from the British scientist James Smithson “for the increase and diffusion of knowledge” (Smithsonian Institution 2002). The museums, most of them located along the Mall in downtown Washington, D.C., cover a wide range of subjects including art, architecture, American history, and natural history. While the Smithsonian museums focus on museum exhibits and research, the Smithsonian research centers focus almost exclusively on scientific research, varying from astrophysics and materials research to conservation and, last but not least, environmental science. The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center originated in 1965 when the grounds of an 365-acre dairy farm in Edgewater, MD, were bequeathed to the Smithsonian Institution (Correll 1991). The Institution decided that the area—which included a wide variety of habitats suitable for terrestrial, wetland, and estuarine field biology—could be used for field collecting trips, and it established the Chesapeake Bay Center for Field Biology. Over the years, the center acquired more land, established on-site facilities, and developed research and education programs. In 1983, after being taken over by the Smithsonian Radiation Biology Laboratory, the center was renamed the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. Today, the Center has formulated 1 its mission as “increasing knowledge of the biological and physical processes that sustain life on earth” and 14 Principal Investigators and their assistants and interns participate in long-term studies of the aquatic, terrestrial and atmospheric components of the ecosystems around SERC and at other places around the world. The four main research areas that SERC scientists are involved in are typically referred to as the areas of global change; landscape ecology; ecology of coastal ecosystems; and population and community ecology (SERC 2002). 1.2 SERC’s Education Department and my Position Although SERC primarily focuses on research, the Center offers a variety of education programs for schools and the general public. SERC’s Education Program, according to its mission statement, is “committed to broadening society’s understanding of the environment,

    FROM THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR MUSICAL THEAtre’s PresideNT Welcome to our 24th Annual Festival of New Musicals! The Festival is one of the highlights of the NAMT year, bringing together 600+ industry professionals for two days of intense focus on new musical theatre works and the remarkably talented writing teams who create them. This year we are particularly excited not only about the quality, but also about the diversity—in theme, style, period, place and people—represented across the eight shows that were selected from over 150 submissions. We’re visiting 17th-century England and early 20th century New York. We’re spending some time in the world of fairy tales—but not in ways you ever have before. We’re visiting Indiana and Georgia and the world of reality TV. Regardless of setting or stage of development, every one of these shows brings something new—something thought-provoking, funny, poignant or uplifting—to the musical theatre field. This Festival is about helping these shows and writers find their futures. Beyond the Festival, NAMT is active year-round in supporting members in their efforts to develop new works. This year’s Songwriters Showcase features excerpts from just a few of the many shows under development (many with collaboration across multiple members!) to salute the amazing, extraordinarily dedicated, innovative work our members do. A final and heartfelt thank you: our sponsors and donors make this Festival, and all of NAMT’s work, possible. We tremendously appreciate your support! Many thanks, too, to the Festival Committee, NAMT staff and all of you, our audience.

Frankly, almost never. Even the most professional looking royalty statements can mask issues resulting in unreported royalties. Often there is a lack of visibility with actual gross sales, the amount or type of deductions is not transparent; and sales territories, channels and customers are undisclosed. Additionally, unapproved products are not highlighted, unexploited rights remain dormant and hidden, and other issues are not revealed.

  • 122 a Century of Grand Opera in Philadelphia. Music Is As Old As The
    122 A Century of Grand Opera in Philadelphia. A CENTURY OF GRAND OPERA IN PHILADELPHIA. A Historical Summary read before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Monday Evening, January 12, 1920. BY JOHN CURTIS. Music is as old as the world itself; the Drama dates from before the Christian era. Combined in the form of Grand Opera as we know it today they delighted the Florentines in the sixteenth century, when Peri gave "Dafne" to the world, although the ancient Greeks listened to great choruses as incidents of their comedies and tragedies. Started by Peri, opera gradually found its way to France, Germany, and through Europe. It was the last form of entertainment to cross the At- lantic to the new world, and while some works of the great old-time composers were heard in New York, Charleston and New Orleans in the eighteenth century, Philadelphia did not experience the pleasure until 1818 was drawing to a close, and so this city rounded out its first century of Grand Opera a little more than a year ago. But it was a century full of interest and incident. In those hundred years Philadelphia heard 276 different Grand Operas. Thirty of these were first heard in America on a Philadelphia stage, and fourteen had their first presentation on any stage in this city. There were times when half a dozen travelling companies bid for our patronage each season; now we have one. One year Mr. Hinrichs gave us seven solid months of opera, with seven performances weekly; now we are permitted to attend sixteen performances a year, unless some wandering organization cares to take a chance with us.
