William Dayholos January/2007 © E –mail address: [email protected] ISBN: 978-1-4251-2303-1 Paperback copy can be ordered from Trafford Publishing – www.trafford.com Illustrations by Wm. Dayholos ©Copyright 2007 William Dayholos II Acknowledgments The value of ones existences can always be measured by the support they receive from others. Be it family or not it is still unselfish support for another human being who is asking for help. Thank you Rose Dayholos, Marjory Marciski, Irene Sulik, Grace Single, Janice Abstreiter, and Robert Regnier for your editing help. This book is dedicated to my partner in life. To me a partner is one whom you can share your ideas with, one who can be trusted not to patronize these ideas, one who can differentiate their own truth from yours. A person who has an equal spiritual level and understanding, and encourages only through support of your ideas and not to through expectation. A true partner is one who balances out any weaknesses you have in the same fashion as you do for them. One’s weakness is the other’s strength, together you create a whole, a relationship that is stronger than the individuals themselves. In true fashion my partner has both helped and supported this book’s creation. Without this partner’s help it might have run the risk of being too much “me”! This was never the reason for the book.

  • Integrating Differentiated Instruction & Understanding by Design
    Integrating Differentiated Instruction & Understanding by Design: Connecting Content and Kids by Carol Ann Tomlinson and Jay McTighe Chapter 1. UbD and DI: An Essential Partnership What is the logic for joining the two models? What are the big ideas of the models, and how do they look in action? Understanding by Design and Differentiated Instruction are currently the subject of many educational conversations, both in the United States and abroad. Certainly part of the reason for the high level of interest in the two approaches to curriculum and teaching is their logical and practical appeal. Beset by lists of content standards and accompanying “high-stakes” accountability tests, many educators sense that both teaching and learning have been redirected in ways that are potentially impoverishing for those who teach and those who learn. Educators need a model that acknowledges the centrality of standards but that also demonstrates how meaning and understanding can both emanate from and frame content standards so that young people develop powers of mind as well as accumulate an information base. For many educators, Understanding by Design addresses that need. Simultaneously, teachers find it increasingly difficult to ignore the diversity of learners who populate their classrooms. Culture, race, language, economics, gender, experience, motivation to achieve, disability, advanced ability, personal interests, learning preferences, and presence or absence of an adult support system are just some of the factors that students bring to school with them in almost stunning variety. Few teachers find their work effective or satisfying when they simply “serve up” a curriculum—even an elegant one—to their students with no regard for their varied learning needs.

  • View the Redux Book Here
    1 Photo: Alex Hurst REDUX This Redux box set is on the 30 Hertz Records label, which I started in 1997. Many of the tracks on this box set originated on 30 Hertz. I did have a label in the early eighties called Lago, on which I released some of my first solo records. These were re-released on 30 Hertz Records in the early noughties. 30 Hertz Records was formed in order to give me a refuge away from the vagaries of corporate record companies. It was one of the wisest things I have ever done. It meant that, within reason, I could commission myself to make whatever sort of record took my fancy. For a prolific artist such as myself, it was a perfect situation. No major record company would have allowed me to have released as many albums as I have. At the time I formed the label, it was still a very rigid business; you released one album every few years and ‘toured it’ in the hope that it became a blockbuster. On the other hand, my attitude was more similar to most painters or other visual artists. I always have one or two records on the go in the same way they always have one or two paintings in progress. My feeling has always been to let the music come, document it by releasing it then let the world catch up in its own time. Hopefully, my new partnership with Cherry Red means that Redux signifies a new beginning as well as documenting the past.

  • Album Liner Notes
    Writing and Music: Album Liner Notes Dean L. Biron, independent scholar ‘Covering’ music The 2005 edition of Hoffman and Ferstler’s Encyclopedia of Recorded Sound includes the following 60-word entry on the record sleeve: The jacket or envelope used for protecting, storing or marketing a disc recording; also known as a slipcase or a record cover. Usually the material is paper or cardboard. Often there is a second envelope inside the sleeve, made of paper or mylar, intended to give the surface additional protection. Sleeves may do more harm than good to their records, however.’ (2005: 1001) The reader is then directed to a 6 page entry titled ‘Preservation of Sound Recordings,’ where information is provided on the proper storing and maintenance of phonographic records, magnetic tape and compact discs. Apart from an allowance for marketing practices, here the album sleeve or liner is considered little more than a carriage device—one of dubious function—for the primary product contained within. Yet without needing to deny that the fundamental purpose of an LP record or compact disc is to store music, it is nevertheless true that the accompanying sleeve or (in the case of the CD) booklet has, over the course of the past few decades, developed something of an aura of its own. Originally, record sleeves were blank with a doughnut-like hole in the middle through which the central label of the vinyl could be read. This typically contained crucial information for the purchaser, namely the title of the disc and details of the recording artist and publisher.

  • Bill Laswell
    Jazz Collection: Bill Laswell Samstag, 22. August 2015, 22.00 - 24.00 Uhr Nichts ist wahr, alles ist erlaubt: der Bassist Bill Laswell Offenheit, das ist der zweite Vorname von Bill Laswell. Kaum ein anderer Musiker hat so viel verschiedene Musik gespielt, produziert und publiziert wie er. «Manchmal entwickelt sich ein Fehler in den besten Teil, da muss man offen bleiben» sagte Bill Laswell kürzlich in einem Interview. Und Offenheit, das ist in der Tat das Credo von Bill Laswell. Auch unter den Bassisten, die ja oft in vielen verschiedenen Projekten mitmischen, gibt es nicht viele, die so breit arbeiten wie Laswell. Von experimenteller und elektronischer Musik über Rock (Iggy Pop!) bis Jazz kennt Bill Laswell keine Berührungsängste – als Musiker nicht, nicht als Label-Chef und auch nicht als Produzent. Ob einer mit so breiten Interessen dennoch so etwas wie einen Personalstil entwickeln kann, diskutiert der Bassist Wolfgang Zwieauer in der Jazz Collection mit Jodok Hess.

  • 21 Outland Empire: Prolegomena to Speculative Absolutism1
    21 Outland Empire: Prolegomena to Speculative Absolutism1 Gabriel Catren translated by Taylor Adkins In what follows we shall outline a possible definition of speculative philosophy by re- activating, distorting and entangling four regulative concepts of German idealism, namely the absolute, the (philosophical) system, phenomenology (of ‘spirit’) and (absolute) knowledge. According to the speculative knot that we shall propose, knowledge will be locally inscribed in the philosophical system, the latter being a free falling organon for forcing the phenomenological mediation of the immanent and concrete self-experi- ence of the absolute. Far from simply rejecting the Kantian legacy and its contemporary avatars, the activation of such a post-critical conception of philosophy requires us to overcome the reactive pre-modern components of critical philosophy and to direct the resulting weapon of criticism towards a truly transcendental dehumanization of experience. In- deed, from a historical point of view, the critical motif inaugurated by Kant has been split by a crucial ambiguity. On the one hand, the Kantian project of exponentiating the Copernican revolution to an infinite series of transcendental powers constitutes an unavoidable regulative idea for the infinite tasks of (absolute) knowledge. The le- gitimate project of constructing an unconditional and universal rational knowledge of the real will remain intrinsically limited by a transcendental anthropocentrism if the subject of science does not perform a reflexive analysis on the different ‘transcenden- tal’ conditions of research. However, instead of directing this necessary reflection on the transcendental localization of the subject of science towards a truly transcendental Copernican revolution, the critical motif has mainly triggered a ‘Ptolemaic counter- revolution’ (Meillassoux) that seeks to preserve the pre-modern landscape and stitch up the cosmological narcissistic wound.
