Recent research insists on the heteroge- neous nature of these documents, which grouped together a diverse array of institutions, such as the truce and the safe- conduct, and also highlights the perils of understanding medieval treaties in light of the later, uneven Ottoman ‘capitulations.’1 One is struck by the importance attached to such diplomatic artifacts by Western historiography, an interest that does not seem to have declined in recent years. One argument that is often cited is that these texts depart from the basic postulates of legal theory, such as the imposition of taxes considered illegal by sharīʿa, the reliance on written documents as proof, or the unbeliever’s status in Islamic lands and the du- ration of his stay. -
If the Hat Fits, Wear It!
If the hat fits, wear it! By Canon Jim Foley Before I put pen to paper let me declare my interests. My grandfather, Michael Foley, was a silk hatter in one of the many small artisan businesses in Claythorn Street that were so characteristic of the Calton district of Glasgow in late Victorian times. Hence my genetic interest in hats of any kind, from top hats that kept you at a safe distance, to fascinators that would knock your eye out if you got too close. There are hats and hats. Beaver: more of a hat than an animal As students for the priesthood in Rome the wearing of a ‘beaver’ was an obligatory part of clerical dress. Later, as young priests we were required, by decree of the Glasgow Synod, to wear a hat when out and about our parishes. But then, so did most respectable citizens. A hat could alert you to the social standing of a citizen at a distance of a hundred yards. The earliest ‘top’ hats, known colloquially as ‘lum’ hats, signalled the approach of a doctor, a priest or an undertaker, often in that order. With the invention of the combustion engine and the tram, lum hats had to be shortened, unless the wearer could be persuaded to sit in the upper deck exposed to the elements with the risk of losing the hat all together. I understand that the process of shortening these hats by a few inches led to a brief revival of the style and of the Foley family fortunes, but not for long. -

Program Notes by MARTIN BOOKSPAN
LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER March 24, 1999 8-10 PM New York City Opera: Lizzie Borden Program Notes by MARTIN BOOKSPAN "Lizzie Borden"- Music by Jack Beeson; libretto by Kenward Elmslie; based on a scenario by Richard Plant. World premiere given at New York City Opera, March 25, 1965. "Lizzie Borden took an ax, and gave her father forty whacks." This childhood rhyme may have passed from currency in the waning years of the twentieth century, but the event it memorialized was very much alive in the waning years of the nineteenth. Along with the likes of Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed, Lizzie Borden of Fall River, Massachusetts, assumed legendary status in the American popular imagination. In some respects the situation seems to be a remarkable parallel to one with which we are all familiar, the O.J. Simpson affair. These are the facts: on August 4, 1892, the citizens of Fall River were shaken by the brutal murder of two of its most solid citizens, Andrew Borden and his wife, Abbie Gray Borden. The finger of suspicion soon pointed to Andrew Borden's thirty-three-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, known as Lizzie, an apparently demure and reserved gentlewoman. She testified at an inquest, but thereafter refused comment, even declining to testify in her own defense at the trial that ensued. The evidence arrayed against her seemed confused and even conflicting, and many in the community could not bring themselves to believe that she was guilty. Weak testimony in her favor was offered by her sister, Emma; in the final summation, these were the words of her chief defense attorney: "To find her guilty, you must believe she is a fiend. -
Basic Dynamic Markings
Basic Dynamic Markings • ppp pianississimo "very, very soft" • pp pianissimo "very soft" • p piano "soft" • mp mezzo-piano "moderately soft" • mf mezzo-forte "moderately loud" • f forte "loud" • ff fortissimo "very loud" • fff fortississimo "very, very loud" • sfz sforzando “fierce accent” • < crescendo “becoming louder” • > diminuendo “becoming softer” Basic Anticipation Markings Staccato This indicates the musician should play the note shorter than notated, usually half the value, the rest of the metric value is then silent. Staccato marks may appear on notes of any value, shortening their performed duration without speeding the music itself. Spiccato Indicates a longer silence after the note (as described above), making the note very short. Usually applied to quarter notes or shorter. (In the past, this marking’s meaning was more ambiguous: it sometimes was used interchangeably with staccato, and sometimes indicated an accent and not staccato. These usages are now almost defunct, but still appear in some scores.) In string instruments this indicates a bowing technique in which the bow bounces lightly upon the string. Accent Play the note louder, or with a harder attack than surrounding unaccented notes. May appear on notes of any duration. Tenuto This symbol indicates play the note at its full value, or slightly longer. It can also indicate a slight dynamic emphasis or be combined with a staccato dot to indicate a slight detachment. Marcato Play the note somewhat louder or more forcefully than a note with a regular accent mark (open horizontal wedge). In organ notation, this means play a pedal note with the toe. Above the note, use the right foot; below the note, use the left foot. -
Interpreting Tempo and Rubato in Chopin's Music
Interpreting tempo and rubato in Chopin’s music: A matter of tradition or individual style? Li-San Ting A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales School of the Arts and Media Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences June 2013 ABSTRACT The main goal of this thesis is to gain a greater understanding of Chopin performance and interpretation, particularly in relation to tempo and rubato. This thesis is a comparative study between pianists who are associated with the Chopin tradition, primarily the Polish pianists of the early twentieth century, along with French pianists who are connected to Chopin via pedagogical lineage, and several modern pianists playing on period instruments. Through a detailed analysis of tempo and rubato in selected recordings, this thesis will explore the notions of tradition and individuality in Chopin playing, based on principles of pianism and pedagogy that emerge in Chopin’s writings, his composition, and his students’ accounts. Many pianists and teachers assume that a tradition in playing Chopin exists but the basis for this notion is often not made clear. Certain pianists are considered part of the Chopin tradition because of their indirect pedagogical connection to Chopin. I will investigate claims about tradition in Chopin playing in relation to tempo and rubato and highlight similarities and differences in the playing of pianists of the same or different nationality, pedagogical line or era. I will reveal how the literature on Chopin’s principles regarding tempo and rubato relates to any common or unique traits found in selected recordings. -

Assessing Next-Generation Construction Helmets
Assessing Next-Generation May 2018 Construction Helmets The KASK - Zenith and Superplasma Helmets Skanska’s Advancement In Head Protection Pilot Program Current Status Currently, Skanska uses the MSA V-Gard as its primary choice of hard hat head protection. This hard hat was introduced to the US 56 years ago. The V Guard (and all other regular styles of hard hats) primarily protects against objects striking the crown of a person’s head. This type of head protection offers minimal, if any protection to the front, rear and sides of the head. Comparatively, head protection such as the KASK helmet (not a hard hat) offers much more protection. Although it is listed as Type I head protection, it has passed ANSI Type II impact tests to the front, rear and sides. The Need for Change Skanska USA is investigating the advancements of head protection for employees working on its projects. Helmets being piloted on our projects include products from KASK, MSA Nexius, and 3M X5000. There are many reasons why we are looking to improve the current head protection. The primary reason is the fact that head injuries of all classifications still occur on our projects. These injuries vary on the spectrum of severity, from minimal in nature to catastrophic. Plain and simple: changes in head protection are needed in our industry. Skanska is looking to champion these efforts through an in-depth evaluation of different types of head protection, including the KASK helmets described in this white paper. A thorough list of the reasons for change include: • During any fall incident (slips, trips and falls from the same level, falls from ladders, falls from wall forms, etc.) the current hard hat is prone to fall off a worker’s head prior to impact because of the tendency for the head to “snap backwards,” leaving the head exposed when protection is most needed. -
