Foreword This is the official exposition guide-book of A Century of Progress, Chicago's 1933 World's Fair. It contains the latest and most accurate information avail- able on what has been accom- plished and what is planned for this Exposition of the greatest era of the world's scientific and industrial history. / s> [5] [6] OFFICIAL GUIDE Your Book of the Fair You will enter A Century of Progress for the first time perhaps like an explorer curious and eager penetrating an amazingly rumored domain in search of treasure. It well might be, whether by day or night you come, that the veritable bombardment of color and light that greets you may create the illusion of stepping within a giant jewel, its myriad facets flashing countless rays of beauty. If the aim of this Book of the Fair is achieved, the fire and gleam, the purpose and theme of A Century of Progress will have been caught and resolved into an orderly, statistical, and factual guide with which you will be able better to enjoy and appreciate all the things you come to see. To Meet All Needs A Century of Progress was conceived and created to meet your tastes, however varied they may be. On the one hand, science beckons to serious interest, and, on the other, fun and carnival crook inviting fingers. Things of the inner spirit offer opportunity for quiet contem- plation, and sports and recreation sound their constant tocsins. Indus- try in numberless phases depicts its story of progress and of power, and art and music hold sway in supreme expression. The aged, the young, the student, the eager for gaiety, all can seek their separate ways, and find fulfillment of their needs. Even the children have a magic continent of their own, a place of wonders. To Facilitate Your Program Whether your stay is of several days' duration, or weeks, or for the full 150 days of the Fair, you will be able to consult the .... pages of this volume and construct easily and quickly an itinerary that should permit you to enjoy a maximum of sights and sensations in whatever measure of time you allot yourself. And to do so with a minimum of effort and expense. Answers to Your Questions Of a morning, at breakfast, with a day of Fair-going before you, inevitably questions will arise. What today? What shall we see? Where shall we eat? How will we get there? What from the vast assortment of attractions shall we choose for a day filled with pleasure, or inspiration, or instruction a day charged with impressions that will live long in memory? The Book of the Fair will enable you to select little or much, as suits your requirements. You will find the facts you seek in regard to L7] transportation facilities to and within the grounds, and the comforts and conveniences designed for your service. The Book endeavors to prepare your mind with authentic data and description of buildings and exhibits which, in a plan years ago conceived and faithfully fol- lowed, compose, you will discover, a harmonious whole the engineered development of an epic theme. It will serve you as a Fair guide and encyclopedia, and, too, it is hoped, as a souvenir that you will treasure. What Is the Meaning of It All? Millions Are Expended A Magic City Created Throngs Come The World Watches Then It Vanishes WHY? From May 27 to November 1, 1933, the interest of a considerable part of the civilized world is focused upon 424 acres of land that lie along the shore of Lake Michigan, edging Chicago. A little while ago this site was placid lake. Now, shimmering beside the water, a dream city is risen. It lights the sky with splendor, yet soon will disappear and be merely a memory. Five Short Months of Celebration The immensity of the enterprise might make you ask yourself, What could be so tremendously important that a city and its citizens should undertake this titan task of building, shoulder these infinite details, merely to invite the world to come for a carnival? Leaf the pages of history for the last 100 years. The answer is there. A City Lifted From Mud Only a hundred years ago Chicago was a huddle of huts, hewn of logs, clinging to the shadows of Fort Dearborn for safety from the Indians, and four years after its incorporation as a village, in 1833, its population, conquering patches of dreary swamp, had reached 4,000. Today it is nearly 4,000,000 3,376,438 for the sake of accuracy, by the census of 1930 and growing at a rate of 70,000 a year. Chicago in a century has climbed to her place as second largest city in America, fourth in the world. One thousand two hundred houses of worship pierce her skies with spires more churches and missions than in any of thirteen of the states and she is one of the country's great religious centers. She has 6,000 acres given to parks and supervised places of play and 35,000 acres of picnic and playgrounds, as forest preserves outside the city limits, and supports a hundred or more supervised social centers. Chicago has close to 6,000 miles of streets, 84 miles of beautiful boulevards. Beneath her bustling loop, to which area daily at least 250,000 people come to work or for business, and a million and a quarter t8] more to shop or to visit, narrow-gage trains whisk merchandise over 60 miles of tracks through tunnels to stores and marts. Above its towering skyscrapers, passenger and pleasure aircraft and mail planes go their speedy ways, and Chicago rapidly is becoming the hub of American aviation.

  • Introducion to Duplicate
    INTRODUCTION to DUPLICATE INTRODUCTION TO DUPLICATE BRIDGE This book is not about how to bid, declare or defend a hand of bridge. It assumes you know how to do that or are learning how to do those things elsewhere. It is your guide to playing Duplicate Bridge, which is how organized, competitive bridge is played all over the World. It explains all the Laws of Duplicate and the process of entering into Club games or Tournaments, the Convention Card, the protocols and rules of player conduct; the paraphernalia and terminology of duplicate. In short, it’s about the context in which duplicate bridge is played. To become an accomplished duplicate player, you will need to know everything in this book. But you can start playing duplicate immediately after you read Chapter I and skim through the other Chapters. © ACBL Unit 533, Palm Springs, Ca © ACBL Unit 533, 2018 Pg 1 INTRODUCTION to DUPLICATE This book belongs to Phone Email I joined the ACBL on ____/____ /____ by going to www.ACBL.com and signing up. My ACBL number is __________________ © ACBL Unit 533, 2018 Pg 2 INTRODUCTION to DUPLICATE Not a word of this book is about how to bid, play or defend a bridge hand. It assumes you have some bridge skills and an interest in enlarging your bridge experience by joining the world of organized bridge competition. It’s called Duplicate Bridge. It’s the difference between a casual Saturday morning round of golf or set of tennis and playing in your Club or State championships. As in golf or tennis, your skills will be tested in competition with others more or less skilled than you; this book is about the settings in which duplicate happens.

    The World's Columbian Exposition: Idea, Experience, Aftermath Julie Kirsten Rose Morgan Hill, California B.A., San Jose State University, 1993 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of English University of Virginia August 1996 L IV\CLslerI s E~A-3 \ ~ \qa,(c, . R_to{ r~ 1 COLOPHON AND DEDICATION This thesis was conceived and produced as a hypertextual project; this print version exists solely to complete the request and requirements of department of Graduate Arts and Sciences. To experience this work as it was intended, please point your World Wide Web browser to: http:/ /xroads.virginia.edu/ ~MA96/WCE/title.html Many thanks to John Bunch for his time and patience while I created this hypertextual thesis, and to my advisor Alan Howard for his great suggestions, support, and faith.,.I've truly enjoyed this year-long adventure! I'd like to dedicate this thesis, and my work throughout my Master's Program in English/ American Studies at the University of Virginia to my husband, Craig. Without his love, support, encouragement, and partnership, this thesis and degree could not have been possible. 1 INTRODUCTION The World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, was the last and the greatest of the nineteenth century's World's Fairs. Nominally a celebration of Columbus' voyages 400 years prior, the Exposition was in actuality a reflection and celebration of American culture and society--for fun, edification, and profit--and a blueprint for life in modem and postmodern America.

  • Acol Bidding Notes
    SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION The following notes are designed to help your understanding of the Acol system of bidding and should be used in conjunction with Crib Sheets 1 to 5 and the Glossary of Terms The crib sheets summarise the bidding in tabular form, whereas these notes provide a fuller explanation of the reasons for making particular bids and bidding strategy. These notes consist of a number of short chapters that have been structured in a logical order to build on the things learnt in the earlier chapters. However, each chapter can be viewed as a mini-lesson on a specific area which can be read in isolation rather than trying to absorb too much information in one go. It should be noted that there is not a single set of definitive Acol ‘rules’. The modern Acol bidding style has developed over the years and different bridge experts recommend slightly different variations based on their personal preferences and playing experience. These notes are based on the methods described in the book The Right Way to Play Bridge by Paul Mendelson, which is available at all good bookshops (and some rubbish ones as well). They feature a ‘Weak No Trump’ throughout and ‘Strong Two’ openings. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ INDEX Section 1 Introduction Chapter 1 Bidding objectives & scoring Chapter 2 Evaluating the strength of your hand Chapter 3 Evaluating the shape of your hand . Section 2 Balanced Hands Chapter 21 1NT opening bid & No Trumps responses Chapter 22 1NT opening bid & suit responses Chapter 23 Opening bids with stronger balanced hands Chapter 24 Supporting responder’s major suit Chapter 25 2NT opening bid & responses Chapter 26 2 Clubs opening bid & responses Chapter 27 No Trumps responses after an opening suit bid Chapter 28 Summary of bidding with Balanced Hands .

  • Bridge Glossary
    Bridge Glossary Above the line In rubber bridge points recorded above a horizontal line on the score-pad. These are extra points, beyond those for tricks bid and made, awarded for holding honour cards in trumps, bonuses for scoring game or slam, for winning a rubber, for overtricks on the declaring side and for under-tricks on the defending side, and for fulfilling doubled or redoubled contracts. ACOL/Acol A bidding system commonly played in the UK. Active An approach to defending a hand that emphasizes quickly setting up winners and taking tricks. See Passive Advance cue bid The cue bid of a first round control that occurs before a partnership has agreed on a suit. Advance sacrifice A sacrifice bid made before the opponents have had an opportunity to determine their optimum contract. For example: 1♦ - 1♠ - Dbl - 5♠. Adverse When you are vulnerable and opponents non-vulnerable. Also called "unfavourable vulnerability vulnerability." Agreement An understanding between partners as to the meaning of a particular bid or defensive play. Alert A method of informing the opponents that partner's bid carries a meaning that they might not expect; alerts are regulated by sponsoring organizations such as EBU, and by individual clubs or organisers of events. Any method of alerting may be authorised including saying "Alert", displaying an Alert card from a bidding box or 'knocking' on the table. Announcement An explanatory statement made by the partner of the player who has just made a bid that is based on a partnership understanding. The purpose of an announcement is similar to that of an Alert.

  • Carnival Ball Letter
    CARNIVAL BALL KREWE BORD de L’EAU Dear Parents, The Krewe Bord de L’eau Carnival Balls are themed celebrations held each year involving students from 1st through 12th grade who participate on a royal court. The couples who raise the most money will be named king and queen. All money raised is contributed toward the betterment and advancement of our school. Students from 1st grade to 8th grade participate in the Junior Court, and students in high school participate in the Senior Court. Students from PK4 to 12th grade also have the opportunity to dress in costume and perform for the two courts and all the audience in attendance. The Carnival Balls focus on music, dance, and visual arts; all components of the Arts taught here at Riverside Academy. Krewe Bord de L’eau originated in 1980 from an idea Mrs. Althea Cambre had to raise money for a new elementary building which is still used by students today. The Carnival Ball committee was, and still is, composed of dedicated volunteer faculty members, parents, grandparents, and students who organize and create the grandeur event for everyone to enjoy. This school year the Junior and Senior Carnival Balls will be held Friday, January 26, 2018 and Saturday, January 27, 2018. The entertainment participation letters have gone out for students to sign up. Being a part of this entertainment affair is one many students enjoy. We hope that you consider letting your student experience what this magnificent event is all about. We have openings for court members to participate in both the Junior and Senior courts.

Indeed, the first indige- nous U.S. popular music to capture the imagination of a broad public, at home and abroad, was blackface minstrelsy, a cultural form involving mostly Northern whites in blackened faces, parodying their perceptions of African American culture. Minstrelsy appeared at a time when songwriting and music publishing were dispersed throughout the country and sound record- The institution of slavery has been ing had not yet been invented. During this period, there was an such a defining feature of U.S. history that it is hardly surprising to find the important geographical pattern in the way music circulated.

In contrast, domestic popular music, including minstrel music, was first tested in smaller towns, then went to larger urban areas, and entered New York only after success elsewhere. Songwriting and music publishing were similarly dispersed. New York did not become the nerve center for indigenous popular music until later in the nineteenth century, when the pre- viously scattered conglomeration of songwriters and publishers began to converge on the Broadway and 28th Street section of the city, in an area that came to be called Tin Pan Alley after the tinny output of its upright pianos.

  • Concepts and Categories in the History of World Expositions: Introductory Remarks
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by OpenstarTs Guido Abbattista Concepts and Categories in the History of World Expositions: Introductory Remarks This collection of essays presents the results of a two-year project carried out in 2012- 2013 at the University of Trieste by a group of researchers from various disciplines working under the direction of this author. We hope the variety of approaches and methods that in- spired the studies may convincingly illustrate some of the original and interesting perspec- tives from which national, international, universal and world expositions can be explored. World’s fairs and expositions have aroused increasing interest among scholars in the last two decades. As the authors of a 2006 essential bibliography point out, research on the history of international exhibitions and world’s fairs is burgeoning and […] sources on the topic have proliferated enormously in recent years. As a consequence, the field has grown tremendously and now involves disciplines as diverse as History, Cultural Geography, Urban Studies, Art History and the History of Architecture, among others.1 Scholars now have a growing number of specialized publications and reference texts in several languages at their disposal, including an Encyclopedia of World’s Fairs and Expositions2 as well as works on particular expositions, single national experiences or on 1 A.
