Orphie Easson American Squaredance, January 1986 Premier Issue 3 For seventeen years we've settled down once a month to have a chat with our "family" of readers. Sometimes there's good news to share, sometimes this page is filled with what Bob Osgood maw AL called "a message of concern," some- times, as with all families, the news is mixed. We feel close to our readers because we meet and talk to so many of them at meetings and conventions, so we are a "family"—one that is bound together by our love of square dancing and our wish to see the activity provide for non-dancers what it has given to us. 4. This month we welcome many more new readers into our family. Let us say oires that we're glad you're with us, and we f hope you will find in these pages the news, the ideas, and the inspiration that you seek.

January 1986 AMERICAN SIJURRE DANCE American Squaredance Magazine began as American Squares in Woodbury, New Jersey. in September, 1945. 1986 will be the 41st year of publication. ASD has had five editors and two name changes during its history, being known as Square Dance for several years. Shortly after Stan and Cathie Burdick became publishers and editors of ASD in 1068, the name became American Squaredance, to reflect its original name, and the fact that many readers still identified the publication as American Squares. The one word designation, American Squaredance, which still continues, was chosen to differentiate it from other publications in the field. In nearly eighteen years of publication under the Burdicks, this magazine has grown to almost nine times its actual circulation in 1968, has doubled in numbers of pages, and become truly an international publication. Its description as "The Magazine with the Swinging Lines" led to feature titles that reflect the "line" motif, as readers will discover in this issue. Based on recent growth and the circulation numbers as this is written. readership is now projected to double within the next month. As advertising increases, too, your editors hope to continually increase both size and quality. This issue grew by 16 pages from initial layout to final production. Occasionally, we're asked about news from a particular area, so let us answer that right at the beginning. If your area is not being covered, it's because no reports are received about festivals, club doings, special people, or favorite callers and cuers. How about writing an article for ASD, or prompting your club secretary or an other officer to do it? On the subject of articles, let us say that we prefer typewritten, double-spaced copy. One absolute way to insure publication is to give all the pertinent facts as briefly as possible. Accompanying pictures should be black and white, with clearly defined outlines. We welcome your submissions; let us hear from you! One more item: we've been asked about increasing the type size. (We think we've fallen into the trap of wanting to share so much material with our readers that we squished quantities of copy into each issue.) We have resolved, for 1986, to increase the space between lines, making for greater legibility. With increased page size, the same amount of copy should be available for your reading pleasure. We hope that ASD will bring you the enjoyment that putting it together for you brings us. We hope you will be members of the ASD family for years to come. We hope we'll hear from many of you with news and articles. This could be the start of something great—a long standing friendship based on the fun of square dancing! CALLING BY NEW!!!

  • Mark III Owners Manual
    MESA-BOOGIE MARK III OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MESA ENGINEERING CONGRATULATIONS! You've just become the proud owner of the world's finest guitar amplifier. When people come up to compliment you on your tone, you can smile knowingly ... and hopefully you'll tell them a little about us! This amplifier has been designed, refined and constructed to deliver maximum musical performance of any style, in any situation. And in order to live up to that tall promise, the controls must be very powerful and sophisticated. But don't worry! Just by following our sample settings, you'll be getting great sounds immediately. And as you gain more familiarity with the Boogie's controls, it will provide you with much greater depth and more lasting satisfaction from your music. THREE MODES For approximately twelve years, the evolution of the guitar amplifier has largely been pioneered by MESA-Boogie. The Original Mark I Boogie was the first amplifier to offer successful lead enhancement. Then the Mark II Boogie was the first amplifier to introduce footswitching between lead and rhythm. Now your new Mark III offers three footswitchable modes of operation: Rhythm 1, Rhythm 2 and Lead. Rhythm 1 is primarily for playing bright and sparkling clean (although a little crunch is available by running the Volume at 10). You might think of Rhythm 1 as "the Fender mode”. Rhythm 2 is mainly for crunch chords, chunking metal patterns and some blues (but low settings of the Volume 1 will produce an alternate clean sound that is very fat and warm). Think of Rhythm 2 as "the Marshall mode".

    'What ever happened to breakdancing?' Transnational h-hoy/b-girl networks, underground video magazines and imagined affinities. Mary Fogarty Submitted in partial fulfillment Of the requirements for the degree of Interdisciplinary MA in Popular Culture Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © November 2006 For my sister, Pauline 111 Acknowledgements The Canada Graduate Scholarship (SSHRC) enabled me to focus full-time on my studies. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to my committee members: Andy Bennett, Hans A. Skott-Myhre, Nick Baxter-Moore and Will Straw. These scholars have shaped my ideas about this project in crucial ways. I am indebted to Michael Zryd and Francois Lukawecki for their unwavering kindness, encouragement and wisdom over many years. Steve Russell patiently began to teach me basic rules ofgrammar. Barry Grant and Eric Liu provided comments about earlier chapter drafts. Simon Frith, Raquel Rivera, Anthony Kwame Harrison, Kwande Kefentse and John Hunting offered influential suggestions and encouragement in correspondence. Mike Ripmeester, Sarah Matheson, Jeannette Sloniowski, Scott Henderson, Jim Leach, Christie Milliken, David Butz and Dale Bradley also contributed helpful insights in either lectures or conversations. AJ Fashbaugh supplied the soul food and music that kept my body and mind nourished last year. If AJ brought the knowledge then Matt Masters brought the truth. (What a powerful triangle, indeed!) I was exceptionally fortunate to have such noteworthy fellow graduate students. Cole Lewis (my summer writing partner who kept me accountable), Zorianna Zurba, Jana Tomcko, Nylda Gallardo-Lopez, Seth Mulvey and Pauline Fogarty each lent an ear on numerous much needed occasions as I worked through my ideas out loud.

HIP-HOP’S DIVERSITY AND MISPERCEPTIONS by Andrew Cashman A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for a Degree with Honors (Anthropology) The Honors College University of Maine August 2020 Advisory Committee: Joline Blais, Associate Professor of New Media, Advisor Kreg Ettenger, Associate Professor of Anthropology Christine Beitl, Associate Professor of Anthropology Sharon Tisher, Lecturer, School of Economics and Honors Stuart Marrs, Professor of Music 2020 Andrew Cashman All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The misperception that hip-hop is a single entity that glorifies wealth and the selling of drugs, and promotes misogynistic attitudes towards women, as well as advocating gang violence is one that supports a mainstream perspective towards the marginalized.1 The prevalence of drug dealing and drug use is not a picture of inherent actions of members in the hip-hop community, but a reflection of economic opportunities that those in poverty see as a means towards living well. Some artists may glorify that, but other artists either decry it or offer it as a tragic reality. In hip-hop trends build off of music and music builds off of trends in a cyclical manner.

Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. Bernhard Neumair, Georg-August-Universitat¨ Gottingen¨ Abstract This thesis deals with the problem, that IT management automation projects are all tackled in a different manner with a different general approach and different resulting system architecture. It is a relevant problem for at least two reasons: 1) more and more IT resources with built-in or asso- ciated IT management automation systems are built today. It is inefficient to try to solve each on their own. And 2) doing so, reuse of knowledge between IT management automation systems, as well as reuse of knowledge from other domains is severely limited. While this worked with simple stand-alone remote monitoring and remote control facilities, automation of cognitive tasks will more and more profit from existing knowledge in domains such as artificial intelligence, statistics, control theory, and automated planning. A common structure also would ease integration and coupling of such systems, delegating cognitive partial tasks, and switching between commonly defined levels of automation. So far, this problem is only partly solved.
