While men have done a lot, women have also had powerful and lasting impacts on society. Women’s contributions in history are often overlooked, and many women who have done amazing things are never brought to our at- tention. It’s Women’s History Month, so here are four of those astounding women. Margaret Hamilton was the lead software engineer of the Apollo Project; in fact, she’s credited with creating the term ‘software engineering’. The project was very high stakes- not only did everything have to work perfectly, but it had to happen at the correct time. During the mission, the computer was overwhelmed with commands, but because of the way Ham- ilton had programmed it to prioritize the tasks, they were still safe to land on the moon. Basically, without Margaret Hamilton, it’s very likely that the mission wouldn’t have been so successful. Noor Inayat Khan was a part of the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force during World War II. She quickly became the radio operator for a resis- tance force in Paris. Many members of this force ended up being arrested, but Khan kept moving around France to avoid capture. Unfortunately, Khan was betrayed and captured by the Germans. In Germany, she was tortured repeatedly and kept in solitary confinement. Despite everything that she went through, she refused to reveal any information to the Ger- mans, up to her death in September of 1944. Alice Coachman grew up in the 1920’s and 30’s, in the extremely segregated Georgia. She showed a strong interest in track and field, but she wasn’t allowed to train in school with the other athletes. So, she used old equipment and ran barefoot. Eventually, a coach took notice of her talents and together, they got a college to offer her a scholarship. In both high school and college, she broke countless records. In 1948, Coachman com- peted in the Olympic Games, where she became the first black woman to ever win a gold medal- even with a back injury. Sybil Ludington was born in 1761 to famous New York militia offi- cer, Henry Ludington. In 1777, when Sybil was only 16, word got to their home that an attack was being launched on Danbury, Connecticut. While her father immediately began to organize men to fight back, Sybil rode on horseback in the rain to alert everyone she could about the attack. These were unfamiliar roads to her, yet she still managed to travel 40 miles- when famed Paul Revere spread his word about the attack, he only rode 12.5 miles. 4 www.jmmswordandshield.com MARCH 2019 • Attend JMM Women’s Club (Thursdays @ lunch, WAYS TO BE INVOLVED Room 854D) or JMM Teal Ribbon Club (Tuesday’s WITH FEMINISM @ lunch, Room 804) By Kari Larsen • Join the Madison Feminist Book Club (More info on meetup.com) Feminism is the idea that women should be social- • Educate yourself on pressing women’s issues ly and politically equal to men and granted the same through books, documentaries, and news rights.

    August 2012 Newsletter ------------------------------------ Yesterday & Today Records P.O.Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 Phone: (02) 95311710 Email:[email protected] www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ------------------------------------------------ Postage Australia post is essentially the world’s most expensive service. We aim to break even on postage and will use the best method to minimise costs. One good innovation is the introduction of the “POST PLUS” satchels, which replace the old red satchels and include a tracking number. Available in 3 sizes they are 500 grams ($7.50) 3kgs ($11.50) 5kgs ($14.50) P & P. The latter 2 are perfect for larger interstate packages as anything over 500 grams even is going to cost more than $11.50. We can take a cd out of a case to reduce costs. Basically 1 cd still $2. 2cds $3 and rest as they will fit. Again Australia Post have this ludicrous notion that if a package can fit through a certain slot on a card it goes as a letter whereas if it doesn’t it is classified as a “parcel” and can cost up to 5 times as much. One day I will send a letter to the Minister for Trade as their policies are distinctly prejudicial to commerce. Out here they make massive profits but offer a very poor number of services and charge top dollar for what they do provide. Still, the mail mostly always gets there. But until ssuch times as their local monopoly remains, things won’t be much different. ----------------------------------------------- For those long term customers and anyone receiving these newsletters for the first time we have several walk in sales per year, with the next being Saturday August 25th.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • Ecological Models of Musical Structure in Pop-Rock, 1950–2019
    Ecological Models of Musical Structure in Pop-rock, 1950–2019 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nicholas J. Shea, M.A., B.Ed. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee: Anna Gawboy, Advisor and Dissertation Co-Advisor Nicole Biamonte, Dissertation Co-Advisor Daniel Shanahan David Clampitt Copyright by Nicholas J. Shea 2020 Abstract This dissertation explores the relationship between guitar performance and the functional components of musical organization in popular-music songs from 1954 to 2019. Under an ecological theory of affordances, three distinct interdisciplinary approaches are employed: empirical analyses of two stylistically contrasting databases of popular-music song transcriptions, a motion-capture study of performances by practicing musicians local to Columbus, Ohio, and close readings of works performed and/or composed by popular- music guitarists. Each offers gestural analyses that provide an alternative to the object- oriented approach of standard popular-music analysis, as well as clarification on issues related to style, such as the socially determined differences between “pop” and “rock” music. ii Dedication To Anna Gawboy, who is always in my corner. iii Acknowledgments Here I face the nearly insurmountable task of thanking those who have helped to develop this research. Even as all written and analytical content in this document is my own, I cannot deny the incredible value collaboration has brought to this inherently interdisciplinary study. I am extremely fortunate to have a small team of individuals on which I can rely for mentorship and support and whose research backgrounds contribute greatly to the domains of this document.

Mui Poopoksakul’s translation renders the stories fluent and accessible, ironing out the linguistic kinks and allowingPROOF Yoon’s portraits of Bangkok lives to take centre stage.” — Financial Times “Evocative, erudite, and often very funny stories of Bangkok life.” — The Guardian “Very, very clever… A completely fabulous book.” — Monocle 24: Meet the Writers “The Sad Part Was is unique in the contemporary litera- ture of Bangkok—it doesn’t feature bar girls, white men, gangsters or scenes redolent of The Hangover Part II. Instead it reveals, sotto voce, the Thai voices that are swept up in their own city’s wild confusion and energy, and it does so obliquely, by a technique of partial revelation always sus- ceptible to tenderness.” — New Statesman “Young prodigy Yoon’s style seems most influenced by the street-smart, chatty American posse, and revels in all kinds of contemporary twists of the postmodern and meta kind. However its savviness never tips into the sort of self-congratulatory indulgence that many of its western peers suffer from, and it remains charming throughout.” — The Big Issue “This trenchant observation of lives in a vibrant, alluring setting, elegantly rendered in English for the first time, definitely raises the bar for Thai literary works to be trans- lated in the future.” — World Literature Today “Formally inventive, always surprising and often poignant, with the publication of this fluid and assured translation of The Sad Part Was, Prabda Yoon can take his place along- side the likes of Ben Lerner and Alejandro Zambra as a writer committed to demonstrating that there’s life in the oldPROOF fiction-dog yet.” — Adam Biles, author of Feeding Time “An entrancing and distinctive collection.
