  • "That's How Hike to See a Woman"
    Awakening "THAT'S HOW HIKE TO SEE A WOMAN" It was autumn, and everything was turning loose. I was running errands that afternoon. Rain had fallen earlier, but now the sun was out, shining on the tiny beads of water that clung to trees and sidewalks. The whole world seemed red and yellow and rinsed with light. I parked in front of the drugstore where my daughter, Ann, fourteen, had an after-school job. Leaping a puddle, I went inside. I spotted her right away kneeling on the floor in the toothpaste sec- tion, stocking a bottom shelf. I was about to walk over and say hello when I noticed two middle-aged men walking along the aisle toward her. They looked like everybody's father. They had moussed hair, and they wore knit sportshirts the color of Easter eggs, the kind of shirts with tiny alligators sewn at the chest. It was a detail I would remember later as having ironic symbolism. My daughter did not see them coming. Kneeling on the floor, she was intent on getting the boxes of Crest lined up evenly. The men stopped, peering down at her. One man nudged the other. He said, "Now that's how I like to see a woman—on her knees." The other man laughed. Standing in the next aisle, I froze. I watched the expression that crept into my daughters eyes as she looked up. 1 watched her chin drop and her hair fall across her face. Seeing her kneel at these mens feet while they laughed at her subor- dinate posture pierced me through.

    wrestling with god cover.qxp 5/7/2007 5:31 PM Page 1 WRESTLING WITH WRESTLING GOD acob is not exactly a model man of the Bible. He Jis a manipulator and a deceiver, and he plays favorites among his children. Still, God meets with him repeated- ly and works out divine purposes in his life. A key moment comes on the night before he meets his brother Esau, years after the two angrily separated. Jacob wrestles all night with a “man” whom he later describes as God. He emerges from the encounter both wounded and blessed, and with a new name: Israel. Wrestling with God is for men who want to get in touch with God inside the struggles of their lives. It contains five articles on the spiritual life and 52 short devotionals based on the stories of biblical men, from Genesis to the letters of Paul. Written prayers and reflection questions make the book handy for personal and group use. Devotional Readings for Men DEVOTIONAL READINGS FOR MEN Introduction by J.

Two women each week and one man each month are killed in England and Wales by a current or former partner. Domestic abuse is a hugely destructive problem and we have a collective responsibility to tackle it” One in four women and one in six men suffer from domestic abuse in their lifetime and domestic abuse costs businesses £1.9 billion every year due to decreased productivity, time off work, lost wages and sick pay. In the UK, nearly 2 million people experienced domestic abuse in the last year alone. With one third of a working adult’s life spent in work, charities and not for profit organisations can create a supportive workplace culture that encourages the identification of health and well-being needs and to help break the silence around this issue.

  • (Los Angeles, November 5, 2017)—The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Hosted Its Seventh Annual Art+Film Gala on Saturd
    (Los Angeles, November 5, 2017)—The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) hosted its seventh annual Art+Film Gala on Saturday, November 4, 2017, honoring artist Mark Bradford and filmmaker George Lucas. Co-chaired by LACMA trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, the evening brought together more than 600 distinguished guests from the art, film, fashion, and entertainment industries, among others. The evening raised more than $4.4 million, with proceeds supporting LACMA’s film initiatives and future exhibitions, acquisitions, and programming. The 2017 Art+Film Gala was made possible through the long-term and generous support of Gucci. Eva Chow, co-chair of the Art+Film Gala said, “I'm thrilled with the success of this year's Art+Film Gala. It means so much that this incredible group of people came together to honor Mark and George and to support LACMA. I'm so grateful to Gucci for being our steadfast partner in this event since the beginning, and of course to Annie Lennox for her outstanding performance!” “I am immensely grateful to Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio, who have firmly supported LACMA’s art and film initiative and served as the Art+Film Gala Co-chairs since the event’s inaugural year,” said Michael Govan, LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director. “We honor the achievements of Mark Bradford and George Lucas—two artistic innovators who also share a deep commitment to art and education. Mark has invested in the L.A. community with Art + Practice, bringing museum-quality art exhibitions and youth services to Leimert Park, and George, through his George Lucas Educational Foundation, has positively impacted the course of learning and lifelong achievement of students.

  • Parody As a Borrowing Practice in American Music, 1965–2015
    Parody as a Borrowing Practice in American Music, 1965–2015 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by John P. Thomerson BM, State University of New York at Fredonia, 2008 MM, University of Louisville, 2010 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD ABSTRACT Parody is the most commonly used structural borrowing technique in contemporary American vernacular music. This study investigates parody as a borrowing practice, as a type of humor, as an expression of ethnic identity, and as a response to intellectual trends during the final portion of the twentieth century. This interdisciplinary study blends musicology with humor studies, ethnic studies, and intellectual history, touching on issues ranging from reception history to musical meaning and cultural memory. As a structural borrowing technique, parody often creates incongruity—whether lyrical, stylistic, thematic, evocative, aesthetic, or functional—within a recognized musical style. Parodists combine these musical incongruities with other comic techniques and social conventions to create humor. Parodists also rely on pre-existing music to create, reinforce, and police ethnic boundaries, which function within a racialized discourse through which parodists often negotiate ethnic identities along a white-black binary. Despite parody’s ubiquity in vernacular music and notwithstanding the genre’s resonance with several key themes from the age of fracture, cultivated musicians have generally parody. The genre’s structural borrowing technique limited the identities musicians could perform through parodic borrowings. This study suggests several areas of musicological inquiry that could be enriched through engagement with parody, a genre that offers a vast and largely unexplored repertoire indicating how musical, racial, and cultural ideas can circulate in popular discourse.
