    From Criminal to Citizen: How the Evolution of Public Opinion Won Gay Marriage in the Courtroom

    From Criminal to Citizen: How The Evolution of Public Opinion Won Gay Marriage In The Courtroom Sabrina Singer Senior Thesis Department of History Barnard College, Columbia University Advisor: Robert McCaughey Singer 1 Prologue A warm tropical breeze brushed my face as I stood in the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens waiting for the mayor to begin. The crowd murmured with excitement, looking around at each other with anticipation as the sun set behind the palm trees. I glanced over at the couple I had met earlier in the evening. They were dressed in matching tuxedos, holding hands, waiting. The drag queen next to me shifted her weight back and forth, impatient. Then, finally, the speeches were over and the ceremonies could begin. The judge had only lifted the stay on gay marriage in the early hours of the morning, yet hundreds of gay couples lined-up to walk down the makeshift aisle to the hastily constructed altar to be married by the mayor. Dressed in suits, biking clothes, jean shorts, and bathing suits, couple after couple affirmed their love and commitment. Same-sex marriage had come to Florida. I had witnessed similar jubilation in front of the U.S. Supreme Court building two summers prior when the Court issued its momentous ruling in United States vs. Windsor, overturning the Defense of Marriage Act that had prevented the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriage. Beholding the relief and joy on the faces of the people swarming the steps of the Supreme Court building, I knew that I had chosen the right issue to believe in.

Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

    Guitarist Sharon Isbin to Star with Santa Rosa Symphony

    Guitarist Sharon Isbin to star with Santa Rosa Symphony By DIANE PETERSON THE PRESS DEMOCRAT Published: Thursday, January 20, 2011 at 3:00 a.m. WWW.SHARONISBIN.COM/ J. HENRY FAIR Sharon Isbin serves as the American ambassador of the classical guitar, performing everywhere from the concert hall to the White House. It's a job that no one else really wanted. That's because most Americans are exposed to the guitar through rock and folk music and then fall in love with classical guitar by accident. “That's changing now, but that certainly has been part of the history of classical guitar in this country,” Isbin said in a phone interview from her home in New York City. “Europe has a much longer tradition of classical guitar, going back to Spain and Italy and the U.K., so that the roots have had time to blossom and flourish.” For the Santa Rosa Symphony's fourth concert set this weekend, Isbin will whisk the audience off to the gardens of Spain during a performance of Joaquin Rodrigo's passionate “Concierto de Aranjuez.” “The Rodrigo is one of the most popular works of any works for orchestra,” she said. “The second movement is so powerfully moving and emotionally raw, with great nuances and musical inspiration. It's something that really touches people in unusual ways.” Led by guest conductor and Mexico native Enrique Arturo Diemecke, the south-of-the- border program also includes Astor Piazzolla's seductive “Tangazo, Variations on Buenos Aires” and the Fourth Symphony of composer Carlos Chavez, considered to be the founder of modern Mexican music.

Sedan har jag, med hjälp av en vän som studerar manus och film i Falun, med ringa medel spelat in en musikvideo till låten. I rapporten kommer jag att kalla min vän för ”min regissör”. Eftersom min frågeställning är helt och hållet bunden till min egen process finns det inte några möjligheter att hämta en lathund här för hur lågbudgetvideor ska se ut i allmänhet. Inte heller en lathund på hur processen ska gå till eller vad som definierar en bra video. Åsikterna som uttrycks är helt och hållet mina byggt utifrån egna erfarenheter. Handlingsförloppet har också utspelat sig så som jag tycker är lämpligast för just min video. Jag ser det här helt och hållet som intressant och kanske inspirerande läsning för den som snubblar över det här examensarbetet. Om denne sedan väljer att göra en video på det sättet som jag har gjort, eller väljer att göra precis tvärtemot eller kanske inte ens göra en video, är helt upp till sagda läsare.

    DOCUMENT 10-A “Life on the Sea Islands” Charlotte Forten Atlantic Monthly, (May 1864) ... Te school was opened in September. Many of the children had, however, received instruction during the summer. It was evident that they had made very rapid improvement, and we noticed with pleasure how bright and eager to learn many of them seemed... ... Te first day at school was rather trying. Most of my children were very small, and consequently restless. Some were too young to learn the alphabet. Tese little ones were brought to school because the older children — in whose care their parents leave them while at work — could not come without them. We were therefore willing to have them come, although they seemed to have discovered the secret of perpetual motion, and tried one’s patience sadly. But after some days of positive, though not severe treatment, order was brought out of chaos, and I found but little difficulty in managing and quieting the tiniest and most restless spirits. I never before saw children so eager to learn, although I had had several years’ experience in New England schools. Coming to school is a constant delight and recreation to them. Tey come here as other children go to play. Te older ones, during the summer, work in the fields from early morning until eleven or twelve o’clock, and then come into school, after their hard toil in the hot sun, as bright and as anxious to learn as ever. Of course there are some stupid ones, but these are the minority. Te majority learn with wonderful rapidity.

    Bay Windows Thursday Oct 30, 2008

    Bay Windows Thursday Oct 30, 2008 State races It goes without saying that Bay Windows readers should go to the polls to vote on Election Day, but as the LGBT community learned over the last few years during the marriage debate, there’s more to democracy than just casting a vote. There are several candidates with strong positions on LGBT equality who deserve more than just the community’s vote on Election Day; we should be out in the district for these candidates holding signs and helping the candidates get out the vote. If you live in or near any of their districts and can take time off work on Election Day, contact their campaigns and offer your support as a volunteer. And check out the voter guide on page 4 to see all the LGBT endorsements. Among the top priorities is Sara Orozco’s campaign to unseat anti-gay Wrentham Sen. Scott Brown (Norfolk, Bristol and Middlesex district). Orozco is an out lesbian and a Needham psychologist who is particularly passionate about issues facing LGBT youth and elders, and she would be a wonderful addition to the Senate. And it would be poetic justice for an out lesbian to defeat Brown, who is a longtime opponent of marriage equality and who once criticized his predecessor, openly gay Cheryl Jacques, for having children with her partner, calling their family "not normal." Voters should also lend a hand on Election Day to Rep. Jamie Eldridge, who is campaigning to succeed retiring Sen. Pam Resor in the Middlesex and Worcester seat. Eldridge was one of the lawmakers on the frontlines of the fight to protect marriage equality, and he would continue Resor’s legacy of support for LGBT rights in the Senate.
