  • “Around the World in 18 Songs”: a Concert of Languages Elizabeth S. Rickel Senior Honors Project in Music the University
    “Around the World in 18 Songs”: A Concert of Languages Elizabeth S. Rickel Senior Honors Project in Music The University of Akron July 24th, 2020 Around the World in 18 Songs An Honors Recital Elizabeth Rickel, soprano Jackson Carruthers, pianist A Note from the Vocalist At the beginning of my research, I began with a few Questions: What makes art and folk songs so important to their respective cultures? How are they similar to each other? How are they different? What is it about this kind of music that makes it so many, no matter the origin of the person or song? The motivation for this project is to shine light on some lesser-known folk songs, build upon my passion for music and language, and to illustrate the power of music, a universal language that we all understand, and in fact rather enjoy, and to illustrate the beauty when culture, language, and music are combined effectively. The goal at the end of my research was to have a full concert set that I can perform for any venue, particularly in schools, where I can talk to young musicians and broaden their horizons in the direction of world music. The songs for this concert were selected on the basis of various factors. Some of these songs were ones that I was already familiar with, either having heard them or performed them previously. Another factor was familiarity with the language, which ranged anywhere from speaking/performing in that language, a language with a similar root, and so on. That being said, I tried to go outside of my comfort zone and pick languages that I was not familiar with.

  • Unfu*K Yourself: Get out of Your Head and Into Your Life
    Unfu*k Yourself Unfu*k Yourself Get out of your head and into your life. GARY JOHN BISHOP This book is dedicated to my three sisters; Paula, Elizabeth and Sandra, my mother Agnes and father, Patrick. We grew together, we cried together, we stood together and we fought together. I am who I am because of you. I acknowledge the downbeat and trodden, the single mothers and unemployed fathers, the dreamers and wannabes; I am you, and you can do it. Table of Contents 01 In the beginning… 02 “I am willing.” 03 “I am wired to win.” 04 “I got this.” 05 “I embrace the uncertainty.” 06 “I am not my thoughts; I am what I do.” 07 “I am relentless.” 08 “I expect nothing and accept everything.” 09 Where next? Chapter 1 In the beginning… “This is a conversational slap from the universe to wake you up to your true potential, to unfuck yourself and get spectacularly into your life.” Have you ever felt like a hamster on a wheel, furiously churning your way through life but somehow going nowhere? All the while you’re caught in a loop of constant internal chatter and judgement that never stops, a little voice telling you that you’re lazy or stupid or not good enough. You won’t even notice the degree to which you believe it or are drained by it, you’ll just be spending your day working to overcome the stresses and strains, trying to live your life and at various points facing the resignation that if you can’t get your ass off this damned wheel maybe you are never going to get to where you want in life – maybe that happiness you’re after or that weight you want to lose or that career or relationship you crave will remain just out of reach.

  • A Man Was Being Tailgated by a Stressed out Woman on a Busy Boulevard, When Suddenly, the Light Turned Yellow, Just in Front of Him
    1 JOKE: A man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard, when suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing and stopped, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman hit the roof, and the horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, finger printed, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After several hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects. He said, I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'Jesus is Lord' license plate, the 'What Would Jesus Do?' bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car. And that is what I want to look at this morning, identity. We started a new series entitled Living by the Spirit. And last time we were together we looked at: John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

  • A Textbook of Chiropractic Symptomatology
    A TEXT-BOOK ON Chiropractic Symptomatology OR THE Manifestations of Incoordmation Considered From a Chiropractic Standpoint JAMES N. FIRTH, D. C.. Ph. C. Professor of Symptomatology in the Palmer School of Chiropractic, (Chiropractic'i Fountain Head) Davenport, Iowa COPYRIGHT. 1914, BY JAMES N. FIRTH. D. C., Ph. C. 1914 DRIFFILL PRINTING CO. ROCK ISLAND. ILL PREFACE Upon accepting the chair of Symptomatology in Tin Palmer School of Chiropractic, Davenport, Iowa, I found it difficult for students and others seeking Chiropractic in- formation on diseased conditions to obtain a comprehensive idea of such when they sought their information in medical text-books. That is, they were able to find an accurate de- scription of the pathology and its accompanying symptoms, but were unable to apply the Chiropractic idea or philosophy to such conditions. The aim of this volume, as indicated by its title, is that the student, practitioner and layman may obtain a concise, yet comprehensive, explanation of incoordinations from a Chiropractic standpoint. This volume is exclusively de- voted to the subject of Symptomatology and should not be considered as an authority on philosophy. Many of the theories advanced here have been derived or suggested from Dr. Palmer's works on philosophy, which are the only works published on that subject. It is very essential that the introductory chapter and the chapter on preliminary considerations be read and studied first, as therein are contained the fundamental principles upon which subsequent deductions are based. It is hoped that this volume may be useful to the student, practitioner and layman. JAMES N. FIRTH, D.
