Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey (2014) Episode Scripts Based on Cosmos: A Personal Voyage by Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan & Steven Soter Directed by Brannon Braga, Bill Pope & Ann Druyan Presented by Neil deGrasse Tyson Composer(s) Alan Silvestri Country of origin United States Original language(s) English No. of episodes 13 (List of episodes) 1 - Standing Up in the Milky Way 2 - Some of the Things That Molecules Do 3 - When Knowledge Conquered Fear 4 - A Sky Full of Ghosts 5 - Hiding In The Light 6 - Deeper, Deeper, Deeper Still 7 - The Clean Room 8 - Sisters of the Sun 9 - The Lost Worlds of Planet Earth 10 - The Electric Boy 11 - The Immortals 12 - The World Set Free 13 - Unafraid Of The Dark 1 - Standing Up in the Milky Way The cosmos is all there is, or ever was, or ever will be. Come with me. A generation ago, the astronomer Carl Sagan stood here and launched hundreds of millions of us on a great adventure: the exploration of the universe revealed by science. It's time to get going again. We're about to begin a journey that will take us from the infinitesimal to the infinite, from the dawn of time to the distant future. We'll explore galaxies and suns and worlds, surf the gravity waves of space-time, encounter beings that live in fire and ice, explore the planets of stars that never die, discover atoms as massive as suns and universes smaller than atoms. Cosmos is also a story about us. It's the saga of how wandering bands of hunters and gatherers found their way to the stars, one adventure with many heroes. -

Fharmacy Opinion on Cross Motions for Summary Judgment
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION FHARMACY RECORDS a/k/a, FHARMACY RECORDS PRODUCTION CO., FHARM I PUBLISHING COMPANY, SHELTON RIVERS, Plaintiffs, v. Case Number 05-72126 Honorable David M. Lawson SALAAM NASSAR,CURTIS JACKSON, DARRIN DEAN, DEF JAM RECORDING, RUFF RYDERS, JANICE COMBS PUBLISHING, UNIVERSAL MUSIC PUBLISHING, UNIVERSAL MUSIC & VIDEO DISTRIBUTION CORPORATION, EMI APRIL, INC., SOO SOOS SWEET SWISHER MUSIC, JOHN DOE, ET AL., Defendants. ______________________________________ / OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS, DENYING PLAINTIFFS’ MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, AND ADJUDICATING OTHER PENDING MOTIONS This is a copyright infringement action in which plaintiff Shelton Rivers claims to be the original author of a rhythm line – or “beat” – that was duplicated – that is, “sampled” – by defendant Salaam Nassar and incorporated into a rap tune, which enjoyed commercial success. Both Rivers and Nassar claim to be the original creator of the beat. However, the plaintiff’s sole remaining theory of liability is based on a claim of unlawful sampling under 17 U.S.C. § 114(b), which has not been established by the evidence before the Court regardless of which of the two is the original author. The parties have filed several motions, some of which raise disturbing allegations of misconduct by the plaintiffs and their attorney, Gregory Reed, Esq. The Court finds that the cross motions for summary judgment must be decided in favor of the defendants because the plaintiffs have not come forward with evidence that establishes that the accused work, a rap tune called “Shot Down,” contains a direct or indirect “recapture [of] the actual sounds fixed in the recording” Rivers said he made or a rearrangement of “the actual sounds fixed in [Rivers’s] sound recording.” Ibid. -
4.9 Land Use and Planning
Redwood City New General Plan 4.9 Land Use and Planning 4.9 LAND USE AND PLANNING This section describes existing land uses in and around the plan area, as well as applicable land use policies and regulations. Information in this section was derived from a technical land use background report, Redwood City General Plan Land Use Report, prepared in June 2008 by Hogle-Ireland, Inc., as well as CirclePoint’s reconnaissance of the plan area. 4.9.1 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The plan area covered by the New General Plan consists of the corporate City limits as well as lands within the City’s sphere of influence. The plan area comprises approximately 38 square miles within a diverse physical setting, with flat lands near the Bayfront area; hills in the western portion of the City; and the San Francisco Bay, stream corridors, and tidal marshes in the north and east. Current Land Use Patterns The current land use patterns reflect the diverse physical features within the plan area, with most office, commercial and residential uses south and west of U.S. 101 while most open space and industrial uses are north of U.S. 101 or in the southwestern foothill areas. The City consists of residential neighborhoods with varying densities and characters; a conventional downtown with retail, restaurant, office, and civic uses; active industrial areas, including research and development and heavy industrial uses associated with the Port of Redwood City; open space areas; and civic areas, including County offices, parks, schools, and community centers. These uses have been clustered within five distinct areas of the City reflecting their specific geographies and function, described below. -

Geoffrey Brown 3 This thesis is dedicated to Agnès Calatayud, an inspirational teacher, who reconnected me to French cinema after a long carence, and who, crucially, first introduced me to the films of Claire Denis. 4 Abstract This thesis argues that the interest which the films of Claire Denis display in the ever-shifting modes of relations between people is illustrated through analysis of how music is used throughout her corpus of feature films. Denis draws on an extremely eclectic palette of musical styles, and the thesis proposes that these varying musical modalities are central to her treatment of relational issues, as are the ways in which she deploys her chosen musical selections. -

Inroads to Student Motivation in the Language Classroom: J-Pop
Verla Uchida, A. (2018). Inroads to student motivation. Accents Asia, 10(2), 20-29. Inroads to Student Motivation in the Language Classroom: J-Pop Adrianne Verla Uchida1 Nihon University, Japan ABSTRACT As English is taught as a foreign language in Japan, the issue of whose English should be taught, how it should be taught and by whom are just a few of the questions that educators must decide when implementing a foreign language program. The answers to those questions then often have a direct influence on the learner and how their identity is shaped through learning English. Additionally, integrating pop culture materials that students are familiar with into the EFL classroom is useful as a means of addressing the concept of “cool” and globalization. This paper will review and draw on the ideas of globalization, identity, code switching and performativity-the way in which we perform acts of identity through cultural and social interactions or performance (Pennycook, 2003, p. 528), previously used to research about hip-hop culture in Japanese language and culture while broadening the focus to include Japanese pop (J-pop) and rock music. It will also examine the recent increase of English used in popular Japanese music and attempt to draw conclusions about the reasons why that is, the effects that it has on Japanese culture, especially in determining what is cool, and how it can be utilized in the EFL classroom. INTRODUCTION For better or worse, popular culture across the world has changed concurrently with the spread of English and globalization. The issues of whose English should be taught, how it should be taught and by whom are just a few components connected to the complexity of shaping one’s identity through the usage of English in modern day Japanese culture. -

March 2015 4 from the President J.D
March 2015 4 From the President J.D. Scott Dear Friends: As spring begins to tease us with hopefully warmer weather, we look forward to two “big events” that are coming up on our calendar. On April 1 and 4 Yannick and the Orchestra perform Bach’s groundbreaking St. Matthew Passion in a beautifully minimalist staging by James Alexander first seen by our audiences in 2013. While the work calls for large-scale forces, a divided orchestra, and a double chorus, its intimacy is extraordinary. Even though it was written to be performed in a religious setting, it is inherently theatrical and full of drama. Then, from April 30 to May 3 Yannick leads Bernstein’s MASS, a “theater piece for singers, players, and dancers.” This is one of the most original, eclectic pieces in the repertory and was far ahead of its time. Our performances will be staged in Verizon Hall by Kevin Newbury in a very surprising way, using a very large Orchestra, 16 “street singers,” multiple soloists and choirs, rock musicians, and a marching band. Bernstein not only drew upon his own unique compositional style, but added elements of blues and rock, incorporating quotations of Beethoven and outbursts of tone rows. It’s a thrilling and vibrant piece. Both of these works exemplify what we call Theater of a Concert, adding theatrical elements to help bring the composer’s vision to life. These concert presentations, in collaboration with local and national cultural and community organizations, are an important part of the Orchestra’s artistic vision, and have succeeded in reinvigorating the experience many of our audiences have in the concert hall. -
