ALBUM REVIEW CHRIS SMITHER More From The Levee Signature Records f you have to read this review to figure out this is a good Ialbum, you haven’t listened to this guy through his 18 LPs in half a century. But if you’re curious, you’ll read it anyway. So, go ahead, take off your shoes. I’ll wait. Chris Smither is one of the most consistent singer/songwriters in the business. This 18th release in half a century is a set of ten more recordings from the 24-song New Orleans session that gave us 2014’s Still On The Levee. It contains adult love songs. And by adult, I don’t mean X-rated. These are the thoughts of a man whose lived life well spent. He’s as casual as John Prine and as comfortable as Tom Rush. Both he and Rush came out of what Dave Van Ronk called, “the Harvard Square folk scare” of the mid-60s. Smither was one of those Boston folkies you knew was more Cambridge Club 47 and not Greenwich Village Gaslight, academic and not commercial. As always, his songs here are as soothing as Constant Comment tea without ever being boring. And if that sounds like what you need in these jarring times, you’re exactly right. The lyrics of his songs follow threads that progress like the old Burma Shave signs that used to dot the highways. Follow his threads to the conclusion and you have a complete idea, sometimes within one or two lines. His couplets say more and/or beg more questions than many artists’ entire careers. On “What I Do” he sings, “Birds don’t understand the air/they don’t even know it’s there.” Or on “Confirmation:” “If I tell you what the hell I’m up to/Maybe you can tell what’s on my mind.” On “I’m The Ride” he sings simply, “I’m not the passenger/I’m the ride.” On songs like “Old Man Down” he sounds weathered, but not brittle. I imagine Ray Wylie Hubbard after a rare good night’s sleep. The other musicians here including the late and legendary Allen Toussaint on piano and drummer Billy Conway from Morphine and Treat Her Right, but you almost forget they’re there, this CD is that intimate. – Don Wilcock.

Microbial Interaction with Clay Minerals and Its Environmental and Biotechnological Implications
minerals Review Microbial Interaction with Clay Minerals and Its Environmental and Biotechnological Implications Marina Fomina * and Iryna Skorochod Zabolotny Institute of Microbiology and Virology of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Zabolotny str., 154, 03143 Kyiv, Ukraine; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 13 August 2020; Accepted: 24 September 2020; Published: 29 September 2020 Abstract: Clay minerals are very common in nature and highly reactive minerals which are typical products of the weathering of the most abundant silicate minerals on the planet. Over recent decades there has been growing appreciation that the prime involvement of clay minerals in the geochemical cycling of elements and pedosphere genesis should take into account the biogeochemical activity of microorganisms. Microbial intimate interaction with clay minerals, that has taken place on Earth’s surface in a geological time-scale, represents a complex co-evolving system which is challenging to comprehend because of fragmented information and requires coordinated eﬀorts from both clay scientists and microbiologists. This review covers some important aspects of the interactions of clay minerals with microorganisms at the diﬀerent levels of complexity, starting from organic molecules, individual and aggregated microbial cells, fungal and bacterial symbioses with photosynthetic organisms, pedosphere, up to environmental and biotechnological implications. The review attempts to systematize our current general understanding of the processes of biogeochemical transformation of clay minerals by microorganisms. This paper also highlights some microbiological and biotechnological perspectives of the practical application of clay minerals–microbes interactions not only in microbial bioremediation and biodegradation of pollutants but also in areas related to agronomy and human and animal health.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This chapter presents background of the study, research question, research objective, significance of research, scope and limitation of research, clarification of key term, and organization of writing. 1.1 Background of study Everybody knows that language is the most important thing in human life. (Finochiaro, 1974) argues that, language is an arbitrary vocal symbol which permits all people in a given culture, or other people who have learned the system of that culture, to communicate or to interact. Every human has a requirement to communicate with other. Language is a system of symbol that is meaningful and articulate sound which is arbitrary and conventional, which is used as a means communicating by a group of human being to give birth to feelings and thoughts. Shortly, the main function of language is for communication and interaction among people (Syamsuddin, 1986). Human beings need language as their communication because language as the branch of linguistic. Semantic is the systematic study of meaning, and linguistic semantic is the study of how language organize and express meanings (Charles, 1998). The researcher expects this study is useful for the other researcher who wishes to know about semantics. Moreover, semantics as an important branch of linguistics is interesting to be studies especially when it is applied to literary work such as song, poem and prose. In semantics, it studies about meanings. According to (Charles, 1998) the dimensions of meaning include reference and denotation, connotation, sense relations, lexical and grammatical meaning, morphemes, homonymy, polysemy, lexical ambiguity, sentence and meaning. Besides that, according to (Chaer, 2002) kind of meaning include a lexical, grammatical and contextual meaning, referential and non referential meaning, denotative and connotative meaning, conceptual and associative meaning, and lexeme.

THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

FWWH Revised Songbook ―This Camp Was Built to Music Therefore Built Forever
FWWH Revised Songbook Revised Summer 2011 ―This camp was built to music therefore built forever‖ These are the songs sung by Four Winds and Westward Ho campers – songs that have expressed their interests and ideals through the years. As you sing the songs again, may they recall memories of sunny days, and some misty and rainy ones too, of sailing on sparkling blue water, of cantering along leafy trails, of exploring the beach when the tide is out. May these songs remind you of unexpected adventure, and of friendships formed through the sharing of Summer days, working and playing together. 1 Index of songs A Gypsy‘s Life…………………………………………………….7 A Junior Song……………………………………………………..7 A Walking Song………………………………….…….………….8 Across A Thousand Miles of Sea…………..………..…………….8 Ah, Lovely Meadows…………………………..……..…………...9 All Hands On Deck……………………………………..……..…10 Another Fall…………………………………...…………………10 The Banks of the Sacramento…………………………………….…….12 Big Foot………………………………………..……….………………13 Bike Song……………………………………………………….…..…..14 Blow the Man Down…………………………………………….……...14 Blowin‘ In the Wind…………………………………………………....15 Boy‘s Grace…………………………………………………………….16 Boxcar……………………………………………………….…..……..16 Canoe Round…………………………………………………...………17 Calling Out To You…………………………………………………….17 Canoe Song……………………………………………………………..18 Canoeing Song………………………………………………………….18 Cape Anne………………………………………………...……………19 Carlyn…………………………………………………………….…….20 Changes………………………………………………………………...20 Christmas Night………………………………………………………...21 Christmas Song…………………………………………………………21 The Circle Game……………………………………………………..…22

Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song from Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970S Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC B
Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song From Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970s Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC Bachelor of Music, University of Ottawa, 2005 Master of Arts, Music Theory, University of Western Ontario, 2007 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Virginia May, 2014 © Copyright by Emily Margot Gale All Rights Reserved May 2014 For Ma with love iv ABSTRACT My dissertation examines the relationship between American popular song and “sentimentality.” While eighteenth-century discussions of sentimentality took it as a positive attribute in which feelings, “refined or elevated,” motivated the actions or dispositions of people, later texts often describe it pejoratively, as an “indulgence in superficial emotion.” This has led an entire corpus of nineteenth- and twentieth-century cultural production to be bracketed as “schmaltz” and derided as irrelevant by the academy. Their critics notwithstanding, sentimental songs have remained at the forefront of popular music production in the United States, where, as my project demonstrates, they have provided some of the country’s most visible and challenging constructions of race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, and morality. My project recovers the centrality of sentimentalism to American popular music and culture and rethinks our understandings of the relationships between music and the public sphere. In doing so, I add the dimension of sound to the extant discourse of sentimentalism, explore a longer history of popular music in the United States than is typical of most narratives within popular music studies, and offer a critical examination of music that—though wildly successful in its own day—has been all but ignored by scholars.

During the first half of the 1990s, pop music vastly outnumbered underground/experimental music. It was the revenge of melody, after a quarter of a century of progressive sounds. A cycle that began with the demise of the Beatles and the rise of alternative/progressive rock, and that continued with the German and Canterbury schools of the 1970s, and then punk-rock and the new wave, and peaked with the alt-rock and college- pop of the 1980s, came to an abrupt, grinding halt in the 1990s. The more fashionable and rewarding route was, however, the one that coasted the baroque pop of latter-day Beach Boys, Van Dyke Parks, Big Star and XTC, the one that coupled catchy refrains and lush arrangements. The single most important school may have been San Francisco's, which had originated in the 1980s with the Sneetches. Jellyfish (2), featuring guitarist Jason Falkner, wrote perhaps the most impeccable melodies of the time. Bellybutton (1990), a milestone of naive, bubblegum melodic music inspired by Merseybeat and later Beach Boys, was both cartoonish and shimmering, while the arrangements on Spilt Milk (1993) were almost baroque.
