The ethnicgroups which are investigated include Poles, Irish, Italians, and Jews. An ethnic person is defined as anyone who decides to identify with and live among those who share the same immigrant memories and values. Ethnic origin, ethnic loyalties, and ethnic considerations playan important role in the political process of the United States. A separate chapter focuses on each of the four minority groups and its role in the process of American politics. Jews, labeled as the shaken liberals, have historically been staunch supporters of the liberal tradition as a unified voter block, but apparent conservative trends are showing as a reaction to radical liberalism and its support of the Arab nations. The Irish built and dominated political organizations, known as machines, in several cities and their predominance in city politics continues today. Italians'were rather slow in getting into politics, but in general Italiansare politically conservative, strong American patriots, disunited due to internal identity conflicts, and assimilating rapidly into U.S.

As is also a tradition, the Suppliers Exhibition will be complementing the information provided by the technical sessions; sharing with us their latest developments and solutions. Once again their willingness to show their products and share their advances in technology plays a fundamental role for the conference. Finally the conference concludes with industrial and academic visits of major relevance; the Foundry Research Institute, the WSK foundry facility and the Rzeszów University of Technology. These visits provide the ideal complement to the conference sessions to help us understand the practical routes adopted by scientific research and the 21st century approach to the manufacture of investment castings. Getting together provides an element of value, and that by cooperation and networking we will get to know each other and this will give a personal element of value that will enrich us as individuals. There will be many moments during the conference to develop this personal approach but without any doubt the Conference Banquet provides a unique occasion to develop personal relationships.

E-Newsletter | October 2011 Celebrating Women and Making History 2011 National Women's Hall of Fame Induction Weekend in Seneca Falls, New York On October 1, 2011, the National Women's Hall of Fame inducted eleven women into the Hall at its home in downtown Seneca Falls, New York - the "Birthplace of Women's Rights." Each year the Hall inducts both historical women and present day women who are role models who have made, or continue to make a difference in all of our lives. This year's inductees were: St. Katharine Drexel, Dorothy Harrison Eustis, Dr. Loretta C. Ford, Abby Kelley Foster, Helen Murray Free, Billie Holiday, Coretta Scott King, Lilly Ledbetter, Senator Barbara A. Mikulski, Dr. Donna E. Shalala, and Kathrine Switzer. Congratulations to all 2011 NWHF Inductees! As part of the induction weekend festivities, the cast of Mosaic and their parents traveled from Colorado to Seneca Falls to present the fabulous play Mosaic: Voices of Women's Suffrage. Written by three students in the summer of 2010 (Jessica Miller, Liesl Jensen and Nicole Polglaze) and produced by Jen Myronuk, Executive Director of Her Story Media, Mosaic showcases the vibrant life stories of three American suffragists -Julia Ward Howe, Caroline Churchill and Alice Paul - in their own words. Through historic portrayal in period costumes, the play features monologues and speeches in conversation over tea as each suffragist shares her own unique life perspective of the events from 1848 until 1920, when the 19th Amendment passed granting U.S.

  • Late Poetry of Tadeusz Różewicz
    Modes of Reading Texts, Objects, and Images: Late Poetry of Tadeusz Różewicz by Olga Ponichtera A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures University of Toronto © Copyright by Olga Ponichtera 2015 Modes of Reading Texts, Objects, and Images: Late Poetry of Tadeusz Różewicz Olga Ponichtera Doctor of Philosophy Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This dissertation explores the late oeuvre of Tadeusz Różewicz (1921-2014), a world- renowned Polish poet, dramatist, and prose writer. It focuses primarily on three poetic and multi-genre volumes published after the political turn of 1989, namely: Mother Departs (Matka Odchodzi) (1999), professor’s knife (nożyk profesora) (2001), and Buy a Pig in a Poke: work in progress (Kup kota w worku: work in progress) (2008). The abovementioned works are chosen as exemplars of the writer’s authorial strategies / modes of reading praxis, prescribed by Różewicz for his ideal audience. These strategies simultaneously reveal the poet himself as a reader (of his own texts and the works of other authors). This study defines an author’s late style as a response to the cognitive and aesthetic evaluation of one’s life’s work, artistic legacy, and metaphysical angst of mortality. Różewicz’s late works are characterized by a tension between recognition and reconciliation to closure, and difficulty with it and/or opposition to it. Authorial construction of lyrical subjectivity as a reader, and modes of textual construction are the central questions under analysis. This study examines both, Tadeusz Różewicz as a reader, and the authorial strategies/ modes he creates to guide the reading praxis of the authorial audience.

  • Italians Vs. Themselves: the Rocky Path to Political Empowerment in Metropolitan Chicago
    James Scalzitti ILP for H4 Competence Summer - Fall, 2014 Italians vs. Themselves: The Rocky Path to Political Empowerment in Metropolitan Chicago Italian Americans have been part of Chicago since before it was incorporated as a city, and for at least the past half century there have been Italian Americans throughout the ranks of government in the city and its suburbs. While there has been a significant Italian presence in the Chicago area for much of its history — with numerous neighborhoods and suburbs identified as “Italian;” dozens of festivals celebrating the ancestral homes of these immigrants; and certainly the annual Columbus Day Parade, during which politicians of all backgrounds jostle for position at the front of the line of march — the same ethnic pride that gives the metropolitan area a robust Italian cultural flavor hasn’t translated into commensurate political power. My task for this project, defined by the competency requirements, was to analyze the power relations between at least two racial, social or cultural groups in the United States. The main group that I wanted to focus on is the Chicago-area Italian-American community. By employing both theoretical and qualitative research, I explored how they have risen to positions of political power over the last century, and what obstacles they have encountered along the way. I also endeavored to uncover their current state of political influence and what that can tell us about their political future in the metropolitan area. That being decided, I still needed to identify that “other” group to which I would compare and contrast the Italian-American community.

  • Digital Synthesis of Sound Generated by Tibetan Bowls and Bells
    ARCHIVES OF ACOUSTICS Copyright c 2016 by PAN – IPPT Vol. 41, No. 1, pp. 139–150 (2016) DOI: 10.1515/aoa-2016-0014 Digital Synthesis of Sound Generated by Tibetan Bowls and Bells Andrzej GOŁAŚ, Roman FILIPEK Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics AGH University of Science and Technology Al. A. Mickiewicza 30, 30-059 Kraków, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] (received October 24, 2011; accepted April 2, 2012) The aim of this paper is to present methods of digitally synthesising the sound generated by vibroa- coustic systems with distributed parameters. A general algorithm was developed to synthesise the sounds of selected musical instruments with an axisymmetrical shape and impact excitation, i.e., Tibetan bowls and bells. A coupled mechanical-acoustic field described by partial differential equations was discretized by using the Finite Element Method (FEM) implemented in the ANSYS package. The presented synthe- sis method is original due to the fact that the determination of the system response in the time domain to the pulse (impact) excitation is based on the numerical calculation of the convolution of the forcing function and impulse response of the system. This was calculated as an inverse Fourier transform of the system’s spectral transfer function. The synthesiser allows for obtaining a sound signal with the assumed, expected parameters by tuning the resonance frequencies which exist in the spectrum of the generated sound. This is accomplished, basing on the Design of Experiment (DOE) theory, by creating a meta-model which contains information on its response surfaces regarding the influence of the design parameters.
