Local bands 'play out,' see Friday magazine THE BG NEWS Vol.70 Issue48 Bowling Green, Ohio Friday, November 13,1987 Fire causes $15,000 damages by Jared O. Wadley copy editor A Wood County resident was uninjured after his garage was destroyed and house partially damaged by fire around 11:20 a.m. yesterday. Robert Allen Sr., 16471 Brim Road, north of the Wood County Fair Grounds, said he was watching television when he no- ticed heavy smoke coining from his garage. Alvin Murray, assistant fire chief of Middleton Twp., said burnt shingles, several broken windows and a breezeway ruined by smoke and water were the only damages to house. He said damage is estimated between J15,0O0-*20,0O0. Although the cause of the fire is under investigation, Jack Al- len, Middleton fire chief, said the fire might have been started by a wood burning stove inside the garage. Besides the stove, Robert Al- len said he also had a snowmo- bile and several saws. Murray said both city and Dunbridge fire departments were called to the scene because there is not an adequate water supply in the area. The fire was hard to control until the Bowling Green and Dunbridge fire departments BG News/Rob Upton helped us," Murray said.

  • Alice Cooper
    Bienvenidos a la pesadilla ALICE COOPER Publicado originalmente en Octubre de 2008 Antes de Marilyn Manson y sus “cortes” en el pecho, antes que Rob Zombie trajera su ambiente gore, antes que Gene Simmons vomitara “sangre”, un joven de Detroit y su banda se atrevieron a llevar los miedos y las pesadillas al escenario en lo que fue en nacimiento del shock-rock. Alice Cooper es un nombre ya clásico en la historia de la música. Su rostro pálido, con enormes manchas de maquillaje negro en alrededor de los ojos y líneas marcadas en las comisuras de los labios, letras provocadoras y actos dignos del mejor cine de horror de clase B, inició su carrera en una época conservadora, desafiando a los estándares sociales y revolucionando el rock al llevarlo más allá de la música, influenciando a otros artistas que llevarían este primer paso a extremos insospechados. ¡Nadie imagina lo que depara el futuro! Y es que quienes de entrada observan a Alice en uno de sus espectáculos, difícilmente imaginarían que este individuo desciende de una familia con altos valores religiosos. Su abuelo fue apóstol de la Iglesia de Jesucristo y su padre fue máxima autoridad de la misma iglesia, pero el nacido como Vincent Furnier el 4 de febrero de 1948 tenía otro destino, siendo así que después de ser un niño enfermizo, comenzó a interesarse en la música. El destino es curioso. En 1964 Vincent formó su primera banda –The Earwigs- con otros compañeros de escuela ¡sin saber tocar un instrumento! ¡Pero lograron ganar un concurso de talento haciendo mímica de canciones de The Beatles! La experiencia les fue tan grata que se pusieron a estudiar las bases para ser un grupo de verdad –o que al menos tocara sus instrumentos-, cambiando su nombre a The Spiders, adornando sus presentaciones con una enorme telaraña al fondo del escenario.

  • Here Are Things I Needed to Say.” the Album Was Released in the U.S
    BURT BACHARACH Biography Six decades into one of songwriting’s most successful and honored careers – marked by 48 Top 10 hits, nine #1 songs, more than 500 compositions and a landmark 49-year run on the charts, Burt Bacharach’s music continues to set industry records and creative standards. “At This Time,” his 2005 album, which won the Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Album, breaks new ground with Bacharach’s first-ever lyrical collaborations, supplementing the melodies which reflect the pioneering Bacharach sound. He says it is the “most-passionate album” of his career as “At This Time” marks the first time Bacharach takes on social and political issues in his music. Bacharach’s global audiences span several generations, and he is viewed as the unique combination of one of the greatest composers of all time and the ultra-cool cult hero of the contemporary music set who often has several songs on various music charts in many countries simultaneously. His many concerts are SRO, as he tours the United States and the world conducting orchestras and with his own musicians and singers performing his music. Along with Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Paul McCartney and Paul Simon, Bacharach is a legend of popular music. A recipient of three Academy Awards and seven Grammy Awards (including the 1997 Trustees Award with collaborator Hal David), he revolutionized the music of the 1950s and 60s and is regularly bracketed with legendary names, ranging from Cole Porter, to Sir George Martin, as one of a handful of visionaries who pioneered new forms of music from the second half of the 20th Century and into the 21st Century.

    To our shareowners: The American Customer Satisfaction Index recently announced the results of its annual survey, and for the 8th year in a row customers ranked Amazon #1. The United Kingdom has a similar index, The U.K. Customer Satisfaction Index, put out by the Institute of Customer Service. For the 5th time in a row Amazon U.K. ranked #1 in that survey. Amazon was also just named the #1 business on LinkedIn’s 2018 Top Companies list, which ranks the most sought after places to work for professionals in the United States. And just a few weeks ago, Harris Poll released its annual Reputation Quotient, which surveys over 25,000 consumers on a broad range of topics from workplace environment to social responsibility to products and services, and for the 3rd year in a row Amazon ranked #1. Congratulations and thank you to the now over 560,000 Amazonians who come to work every day with unrelenting customer obsession, ingenuity, and commitment to operational excellence. And on behalf of Amazonians everywhere, I want to extend a huge thank you to customers. It’s incredibly energizing for us to see your responses to these surveys. One thing I love about customers is that they are divinely discontent. Their expectations are never static – they go up. It’s human nature. We didn’t ascend from our hunter-gatherer days by being satisfied. People have a voracious appetite for a better way, and yesterday’s ‘wow’ quickly becomes today’s ‘ordinary’. I see that cycle of improvement happening at a faster rate than ever before.

    Translating Johanna Kinkel’s Hans Ibeles in London by Angela G. Sacher A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Translation Studies Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies University of Alberta © Angela G. Sacher, 2016 Abstract The focus of this dissertation is an annotated, academic English translation of Johanna Kinkel’s nineteenth-century, semi-autobiographical novel, Hans Ibeles in London: Ein Familienbild aus dem Flüchtlingsleben, published posthumously by Cotta in 1860. Kinkel was an advocate for the emancipation of women whose career pursuits ranged from that of musical conductor, concert pianist, composer, pedagogue, and musicologist, to revolutionary and political activist and writer. Her novel, written while she lived in exile in London with her husband, Gottfried, and their four children subsequent to the 1848 revolutionary uprisings in Germany, illuminates the historical and cultural specificities of the revolution’s events and its aftermath; it sheds light on the suffering and difficulties of the exilic experience, particularly from the perspective of a woman. In writing this novel, Kinkel sought a specific literary space in which she could process her thoughts and feelings about the reality of displacement and loss. The translation of Kinkel’s novel is preceded by a critical introduction that includes an overview of theory as it applies to exile literature and highlights the parallels between the process of translation and the condition of exile, ultimately showing how Kinkel’s life becomes a project of translation. In this context, this translation invites reflection on how aspects of the exilic experience relate to the act of translation and in this way adds to the evolving body of critical commentary on Kinkel and her novel—considering it both as an object of translation into English and as a document of the problem of “translation” involved in the experience of exile.

  • Embodiment in the Künstlerromane of Bennett, Joyce, and Woolf
    “We Are the Thing Itself”: Embodiment in the Künstlerromane of Bennett, Joyce, and Woolf Zarina Maiwandi Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2012 Zarina Maiwandi All rights reserved ABSTRACT “We Are the Thing Itself”: Embodiment in the Künstlerromane of Bennett, Joyce, and Woolf Zarina Maiwandi This dissertation is a study of the relationship between the modern Künstlerromane of Arnold Bennett, James Joyce, and Virginia Woolf and issues of embodiment. Born of the field of aesthetics, the literary genre of Künstlerroman inherits its conflicts. The chief dilemma of the form is how an isolated artistic consciousness connects with the world through a creative act. Bennett, Joyce, and Woolf offer different and contradictory resolutions. By examining how each writer conceives the body, I discover in Woolf the idea of an ethical aesthetics that contravenes the assumed polarity between mind and body, between self and other, and between material and ideal. Written only a few years apart, Clayhanger (1910), A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), and The Voyage Out (1915) tell a compelling story of the relationship between embodiment and a creative life.
