Newcomers and visitors are always impressed by Boise’s vibrant downtown, welcoming neighborhoods, abundant recreational opportunities, and friendly people. Stay a little longer, and you’ll get a sense of the spirit of in- novation and independent spirit that’s deeply imbedded in our 150-year history. Located, as we are, so far from other major urban centers, Boiseans have always looked to ourselves to roll up our sleeves and make things happen – to find the new ideas that will make our community stronger. That’s why so many entrepreneurs and business- es—including some of the most cutting-edge technology firms in the country – call Boise home. It’s no wonder that our city draws attention from coast to coast. Our mission is to make Boise the most livable city in the country, and with the help of our dynamic and imaginative citizens, we’re making it happen. Enjoy! Sincerely, David H. Bieter Mayor Welcome to Boise 5 Photo by Joshua Roper estled in a valley surrounded by foothills, Boise has the wide-open feel of the Wild West. It is the state capital and Idaho’s largest city.

    Journal of the Music & Entertainment Industry Educators Association Volume 20, Number 1 (2020) Bruce Ronkin, Editor Northeastern University Paul Linden, Associate Editor University of Southern Mississippi Ben O’Hara, Associate Editor (Book Reviews) Australian College of the Arts Published with Support from Amplifying Music: A Gathering of Perspectives on the Resilience of Live Music in Communities During the Early Stages of the COVID-19 Era Storm Gloor University of Colorado Denver https://doi.org/10.25101/20.1 Abstract As the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 spread throughout the United States in March of 2020, the live music industry was shaken by temporary closures of venues, cancellation of festivals, and postpone- ments of tours, among other effects. However long and to what extent the damage to the music industry would be, one thing was certain. At some point there would need to be a return to (a possible “new”) normal. The Amplify Music virtual conference was one of the first gatherings of mu- sic industry stakeholders to immediately address issues around the indus- try’s resilience in this pandemic and what it might look like. Leaders from throughout the world participated in the twenty-five consecutive hour con- vening. This paper summarizes many of the perspectives, observations, and ideas presented in regard to the future of the United States music in- dustry post-pandemic. Keywords: coronavirus, COVID-19, Amplify Music, National Inde- pendent Venue Association, NIVA, livestreaming, resilience Introduction On the afternoon of March 2, 2020, Kate Becker, Creative Economy Strategist for King County, Washington, concluded her presentation at the closing session of a conference presented by the Responsible Hos- pitality Institute (RHI), an organization focused on nightlife in cities and “helping cities worldwide harness the power of the social economy.”1 The conference, held in the heart of downtown Seattle and mere blocks away from Ms.

  • “Something About the Way You Look Tonight” Geneva Jackson Advised
    “Something About the Way You Look Tonight” Popular Music Festivals as Rites of Passage in the Contemporary United States Geneva Jackson Advised by Judith Schachter Carnegie Mellon University Dietrich College Honors Fellowship Program Spring 2016 Acknowledgements This project was made possible by the love and support of many people, to whom I will be forever indebted. First, I would like to thank the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, for the creation of the Honors Fellowship Program, through which I received additional support to begin work on my thesis over the summer of 2015. I am thankful for the opportunity to explore my nonacademic interests in an academic setting. Weekly meetings with the other fellows, Eleanor Haglund, Kaylyn Kim, Kaytie Nielsen, Sayre Olson, Lucy Pei, Chloe Thompson, and Laurnie Wilson, as well as our mentors Dr. Joseph Devine, Dr. Jennifer Keating-Miller, and Dr. Brian Junker, were invaluable in the formation of my topic focus. Thank you for the laughter and advice. I’d also like to express endless gratitude to my thesis advisor, Dr. Judith Schachter, for her limitless encouragement, critical eye, and keen ability to parse out exactly I was trying to say when my phrasing became cumbersome. I would like also to acknowledge Dr. Scott Sandage for agreeing to consult with me over the summer and to thank him for telling the freshman-engineering-major version of me to consider a history degree. Special thanks must be given to my music festival partners, Catherine Kildunne, Emily Clark, Ian Einhorn, Sam Ho, and Anthony Comport, without whom field research would have been a woefully solitary task.

  • Part 2. RISK ASSESSMENT
    Part 2. RISK ASSESSMENT 7. DAM/CANAL FAILURE 7.1 GENERAL BACKGROUND 7.1.1 Causes of Dam Failure Dam failures in the United States typically occur in one of four ways: • Overtopping of the primary dam structure, which accounts for 34 percent of all dam failures, can occur due to inadequate spillway design, settlement of the dam crest, blockage of spillways, and other factors. • Foundation defects due to differential settlement, slides, slope instability, uplift pressures, and foundation seepage can also cause dam failure. These account for 30 percent of all dam failures. • Failure due to piping and seepage accounts for 20 percent of all failures. These are caused by internal erosion due to piping and seepage, erosion along hydraulic structures such as spillways, erosion due to animal burrows, and cracks in the dam structure. • Failure due to problems with conduits and valves, typically caused by the piping of embankment material into conduits through joints or cracks, constitutes 10 percent of all failures. The remaining 6 percent of dam failures are due to miscellaneous causes. Many are secondary results of other disasters, such as earthquakes, landslides, storms, snowmelt, equipment malfunction, structural damage, and sabotage. The most likely disaster-related causes of dam failure in Ada County are earthquakes, excessive rainfall and landslides. Poor construction, lack of maintenance and repair, and deficient operational procedures are preventable or correctable through regular inspections. Terrorism and vandalism are concerns that all operators of public facilities plan for; these threats are under continuous review by public safety agencies. 7.1.2 Irrigation Canals Much of the arid land of Southwest Idaho was developed through reclamation projects of the early 1900s.
