Libeskind also stresses the importance of a “creative classroom atmosphere conducive to learning mathematics,” which he said could include mathematical puzzles, games of skill and computers to “ motivate students to want to learn math.” Libeskind advocates computer teaching techniques such as the new Turtle Geometry, in which a tiny triangle on the computer screen is presented to children as a “ turtle.” BIRDS-EYE VIEW OF MISSOULA shows Married Student Housing, tenants of which are considering being annexed into the city.

  • Issues of Image and Performance in the Beatles' Films
    “All I’ve got to do is Act Naturally”: Issues of Image and Performance in the Beatles’ Films Submitted by Stephanie Anne Piotrowski, AHEA, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English (Film Studies), 01 October 2008. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which in not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (signed)…………Stephanie Piotrowski ……………… Piotrowski 2 Abstract In this thesis, I examine the Beatles’ five feature films in order to argue how undermining generic convention and manipulating performance codes allowed the band to control their relationship with their audience and to gain autonomy over their output. Drawing from P. David Marshall’s work on defining performance codes from the music, film, and television industries, I examine film form and style to illustrate how the Beatles’ filmmakers used these codes in different combinations from previous pop and classical musicals in order to illicit certain responses from the audience. In doing so, the role of the audience from passive viewer to active participant changed the way musicians used film to communicate with their fans. I also consider how the Beatles’ image changed throughout their career as reflected in their films as a way of charting the band’s journey from pop stars to musicians, while also considering the social and cultural factors represented in the band’s image.

  • International Beatleweek Fab Facts
    International Beatleweek Fab Facts 1. International Beatleweek is worth an estimated £2.8m to the local economy. Cavern City Tours alone books around 4,500 bed nights with city hotels for the August Bank Holiday week. 2. The first Beatles Convention was held at Mr Pickwick’s club in 1977 and was organised by legendary Cavern Club DJ Bob Wooler and the Beatles’ first manager Allan Williams. It has been held at the Adelphi Hotel every year since 1981, apart from 1984 when it moved to St George’s Hall. 3. Since its inception, International Beatleweek has welcomed in the region of 900 different bands, artists and guests to its stages from 50 different countries including Guatemala, Thailand and Kazakhstan. 4. The 2010 Peace, Love & Understanding concert, held in Liverpool’s majestic Anglican Cathedral, featured performances by bands or artists from all seven continents including Antarctica, from which Trinity Church performed Let It Be. 5. The youngest performer at Beatleweek is three-year-old American Walter Bolin who sang on stage with his parents Eli Bolin and Allison Posner in 2017. The youngest official band in the history of International Beatleweek is The Beatbrothers, whose members Phil and Eddie Gillespie appeared at the Cavern in 2001 at the ages of eleven and nine respectively. 6. The Cavern Club welcomes around 10,000 visitors during Beatleweek. 7. The festival has led to romance. There have been two proposals on stage during recent years, while one marriage to come out of Beatleweek involved a member of the security team and an American Beatle fan he met and fell in love with at the 1989 event.

Contact: [email protected] Help! (Capitol, 11.6.2007) Once upon a time, boys and girls, there were these mopheads from Liverpool. They made these songs that made everybody happy. Then these men in suits said, “There’s even more gold in them thar boys.” And a movie was begat real fast cause everybody knew they were flashes in the pan. An American expatriate, Richard Lester, was chosen to make it because he had made It’s Trad, Dad! and knew all about quickly fading musical fads. And behold, A Hard Day’s Night was a masterpiece, and everybody was very, very happy. And the suits said, “Dick, do it again,” and Help! was born. It also made people happy, but it is not a masterpiece. Somewhere in the mysterious East, Clang (Leo McKern) is about to sacrifice a virgin when he discovers the would-be victim has sent the required sacrificial ring to Ringo Starr, famous jewelry fetishist. So Clang, his men, and the lovely Ahme (Eleanor Bron) head for London to get the ring back. Ringo is willing to give it up but can’t get it off, so the boys seek the help of Foot (Victor Spinetti), a mad scientist, and Algernon (Roy Kinnear), his bumbling assistant.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • A History of International Beatleweek (PDF)
    The History of International Beatleweek International Beatleweek celebrates the most famous band in the world in the city where it was born – attracting thousands of Fab Four fans and dozens of bands to Liverpool each year. The history of Beatleweek goes back to 1977 when Liverpool’s first Beatles Convention was held at Mr Pickwick’s club in Fraser Street, off London Road. The two-day event, staged in October, was organised by legendary Cavern Club DJ Bob Wooler and Allan Williams, entrepreneur and The Beatles’ early manager, and it included live music, guest speakers and special screenings. In 1981, Liz and Jim Hughes – the pioneering couple behind Liverpool’s pioneering Beatles attraction, Cavern Mecca – took up the baton and arranged the First Annual Mersey Beatle Extravaganza at the Adelphi Hotel. It was a one-day event on Saturday, August 29 and the special guests were Beatles authors Philip Norman, Brian Southall and Tony Tyler. In 1984 the Mersey Beatle event moved to St George’s Hall where guests included former Cavern Club owner Ray McFall, Beatles’ press officer Tony Barrow, John Lennon’s uncle Charles Lennon and ‘Father’ Tom McKenzie. Cavern Mecca closed in 1984, and after the city council stepped in for a year to keep the event running, in 1986 Cavern City Tours was asked to take over the Mersey Beatle Convention. It has organised the annual event ever since. International bands started to make an appearance in the late 1980s, with two of the earliest groups to make the journey to Liverpool being Girl from the USA and the USSR’s Beatle Club.
