How Much Should Guests Expect to Spend This Wedding Season?
How Much Should Guests Expect to Spend This Wedding Season? Cost of attending weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties and showers adds up fast NEW YORK – March 28, 2018 – Wedding guests should be prepared to spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars per celebration this wedding season, according to a new Bankrate.com report. This includes the cost of attending the wedding, as well as associated events like bachelor/bachelorette parties and wedding showers. Click here for more information: https://www.bankrate.com/personal-finance/smart-money/cost-of-attending-wedding-survey- 0318/ The most expensive commitment comes with being a part of the wedding party. Members of the wedding party can expect to spend an average of $728 on the wedding and related festivities of the bachelor/bachelorette party and wedding shower (including gifts, travel, attire and more). Northeastern wedding party members shell out even more than that, with an average all-in cost of $1,070 to partake in all three events. Attending a wedding for a close friend or family member when not part of the wedding party is not cheap, either. Guests attending those weddings and associated pre-parties spend an average of $628. Those attending weddings and related events for more distant friends/family members will experience some financial relief, comparatively, with a total average cost of $372. When it comes to gift-giving, Millennial guests (ages 18-37) seem to be less generous than the national average. Young adults report spending an average of just $57 on wedding gifts when part of the wedding party, $47 for close friends/family when not in the wedding party and $48 for more distant relationships. -

Wedding Handbook
CATHEDRAL WEDDING HANDBOOK WEDDING MUSIC GUIDE MUSIC FOR THE WEDDING LITURGY (1 of 4): Policies and Guidelines The Cathedral of Saint Joseph is a popular choice for weddings, for obvious reasons: it is a beautiful sacred space, and a regional landmark known for its stunning art and architecture. The Cathedral will bring a sense of awe, grandeur, prayer, and beauty to your wedding. At the same time, as the Mother Church for the Diocese and the seat of the Bishop, the Cathedral has specific liturgical and musical guidelines that may be different than those of other churches or non-church wedding venues. This document will help to guide you through our music policies and answer common questions about Cathedral weddings. The Cathedral Music Director (Dr. Jared Ostermann; [email protected]; 605-336-7390) is responsible for approving all wedding music, and assigning musicians to your wedding. It is important to contact the Music Director at least two months before your wedding, and sooner if possible. The most important general policy is that all music played or sung in the Cathedral must be sacred in nature. Appropriate INSTRUMENTAL music (music without any singing) is, generally speaking, any music that does not have a specific non-sacred context or reference. This means that a well-known theme from a pop song, movie soundtrack or Broadway musical would not be appropriate in the Cathedral. See below for some specific examples of appropriate music. Appropriate VOCAL music (music sung by the congregation or soloists) needs to have a sacred text - whether taken from the Bible or from the Church's texts for the liturgy (example: Gloria, Lamb of God, Responsorial Psalm) or from an approved Catholic hymnal. -

Hereshe is seated at the counseltable during her trial in LosAngeles Superior Court. This content downloaded from 150.131.192.151 on Mon, 18 Nov 2013 02:22:14 AM All use subject to JSTOR Terms and Conditions hortly before midnight on March 24, 1934, Nellie Madison, a Montana rancher's daughter, pumped five bullets into her husband Eric as he lay in bed in the couple's Burbank, California, apartment. Police arrested her two days later hiding in the closet of a remote mountain cabin and brought her back to Burbank where she was questioned,jailed, and charged with first-degree murder. The case quickly became a media sensation. Reporters-fifty sat in on her interrogation-nick- named her the "enigmawoman" for her oddly detached and inscrutabledemeanor and her refusal to talk. Two months later,justbefore the startof her trial,Los Angeles County District Attorney Buron Fitts announced that he would seek the death penalty. To that date no woman had been executed in California,and only one woman, Emma LeDoux, had been condemned, in 1906, also for killing her husband. The state supreme court overturned LeDoux's sentence, but she still resided in prison in 1934.1 In the years between LeDoux's conviction and Madison's trial,California saw its share of notorious femalemurder defendants.Jurors gave Louise Peete a life sentence in 1920 after she killed her landlord and buried his body beneath his house. -
Oberlin Opera: Conversations with William Bolcom and Joan Morris
Oberlin Opera: Conversations with William Bolcom and Joan Morris By Mike Telin Last week the Oberlin Conservatory of Music’s Opera theatre presented four performances of American composer William Bolcom’s comic opera A Wedding. Bolcom was present for Wednesday’s opening performance as well as to give a talk on Friday about his career and his work in opera. A Wedding was preceded by McTeague, and A View from the Bridge. All three operas were commissioned by Chicago Lyric Opera. On Thursday morning only minutes prior to an interview on WCPN’s “Around Noon” program, the composer and his long-time performance collaborator and wife, mezzo- soprano Joan Morris, were beaming at the success of the previous night’s opening performance. “I am so pleased with the way it went”, Bolcom said with a smile. “The conductor had the perfect tempos, and that’s always a concern of mine.” Bolcom was soon ushered into the studio with “Around Noon” host Dee Perry, and the two had an engaging conversation about how A Wedding came to be and his about career as a composer and teacher. Although Ms. Morris must have heard these stories before, as well as living many of them, she listened attentively to the interview in the green room, smiling and nodding with affirmation as Bolcom and Perry conversed. “She’s very good” Bolcom said of Perry following the interview, “Very well prepared, and she asked good questions”. A few minutes later, Bolcom, Morris, and Oberlin Conservatory Assistant Director of Communications Jessica Downs and I took our seats for lunch. -
American Female Executions 1900 - 2021
American female executions 1900 - 2021. A total of 56 women have been lawfully executed in 20 states of the USA between 1903 and January 2021, including three under Federal Authority. 55 of them died for first degree murder or conspiracy to first degree murder and one for espionage. 39 executions took place between 1903 and 1962 and a further 14 since the resumption of the death penalty in 1976, between 1984 and 2014. Shellie McKeithen (executed January 1946) is erroneously included in some lists, but Shellie was male, despite his first name. 25 of these women died in the electric chair, 15 by lethal injection, 9 by hanging and 7 by lethal gas. 1) Thirty eight year old Dora Wright (black) became the first woman to be executed in the 20th century when she was hanged in Indian Territory at South McAllister, in what would become Oklahoma, on July 17, 1903. She was executed for the murder of 7 year old Annie Williams who is thought to have been her step daughter. Dora had beaten and tortured Annie repeatedly over a period of several months before finally killing her on February 2, 1903. According to a local newspaper it was “the most horrible and outrageous” crime in memory in the area. On May 29, 1903 the jury took just 20 minutes’ deliberation to reach a guilty verdict, but were divided upon the sentence, with three voting for life and nine for death. After a further half an hour the three had been won round and death was the unanimous recommendation. -

Performing on the Trombone: a Chronological Survey David M. Guion The trombone is one of the oldest wind instruments currently in use. The trumpet, horn, and flute have a longer history, but have changed in construction and playing technique far more than the trombone, which reached its present form sometime in the 15 century. The name "trombone," Italian for "big trumpet," is attested as early as 1439. The German word Posaune may have referred to an instru- ment with a slide as early as 1363.1 The old English word "sack- but," on the other hand, first appeared in 1495, and cognate terms appeared in Spain and France not much earlier than that. Therefore the confusing and misleading practice of referring to a baroque-style trombone as a sackbut should be abandoned. Using two words for a trombone wrongly implies two different instruments, and at times leads to the erroneous notion that the sackbut is the "forerunner" of the trombone. -
