Vocal-Diva Storm Large Performs a Night of Romantic Classics with the Jacksonville Symphony
Vocal-Diva Storm Large Performs a Night of Romantic Classics with the Jacksonville Symphony Jacksonville, FL (February 21, 2018) --- Known from her time as a finalist on the CBS show Rock Star: Supernova, the songstress Storm Large will join the Jacksonville Symphony for a night of romantic favorites including “My Funny Valentine” and “Hopelessly Devoted to You.” WHO: As a musician, actor, playwright and author, Storm Large has played many artistic roles. Before rising to national prominence in 2006 with her appearance on Rock Star: Supernova, Large spent the 90s singing in clubs throughout San Francisco. In 2002 she started a standing engagement at a Portland club, “Dante’s.” She made her debut with the band Pink Martini in 2011 singing four sold-out concerts with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Although she continues to perform with Pink Martini off the orchestral stage, her symphonic performances haven’t stopped. Recent highlights include performances with the New York Pops, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and the Louisville Orchestra. Recently, Large joined Michael Feinstein as a special guest on the Jazz at Lincoln Center Popular Song series with Liza Minnelli, Joel Grey and Pasadena Pops. WHAT: For two nights of romance, Storm Large performs love songs new and old on the Jacoby Symphony Hall stage. Classic jazz standard “My Funny Valentine” can be found on over 1,300 albums, including one by American singer, Frank Sinatra. The crooner’s “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” will also make an appearance with Queen’s “Somebody to Love.” Storm Large will perform romantic standards and more in Crazy Arc of Love. -
Barnes & Noble
Short Case Barnes & Noble Turning the page to compete in a digital book market This case was written by Joachim Stonig (University of St. Gallen). It is intended to be used as the basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of a management situation. The case was compiled from published sources. © Joachim Stonig, January 2020, Version 1.1, University of St. Gallen No part of this publication may be copied, stored, transmitted, reproduced or distributed in any form or medium whatsoever without the permission of the copyright owner. 1 In June 2019, investment firm Elliott Management announced that it would acquire Barnes & 1 Noble for about $683 million and take the company private.0F The largest U.S. book retailer had experienced a long decline over the last decade. The number of stores dropped by more than 100 since their peak in 2009, from 726 to 630 in 2018, and revenue fell by more than $2 billion in the same timeframe. James Daunt, who runs the British bookseller Waterstones since 2011, became CEO of the ailing company. James Daunt is known to be book enthusiast who believes in the cultural and emotional value of print. With the funds from Elliott and less short-term financial pressure from the stock market, he hopes to change the fortunes of Barnes & Noble. His initial assessment of the company, however, was less than flattering: “Frankly, at the moment you want to love Barnes & Noble, but when you leave the store you feel mildly betrayed. […] Not massively, but mildly. -

Jonathan Lethem, Amnesia Moon the US Election This Week Has Sent Me
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Birkbeck Institutional Research Online Jonathan Lethem, Amnesia Moon The US election this week has sent me back to Jonathan Lethem’s second novel, the science fiction picaresque Amnesia Moon (1995). The novel depicts a dystopian near future in which a catastrophe has fragmented America into a series of communities that are worlds unto themselves. A character refers to the ‘FSRs’ – Finite Subjective Realities – in which people are locked into locally distorted perceptions. The one I was looking for was Vacaville, California, into which the protagonist Chaos stumbles. The town has a number of strange features. For one, the populace has to move house once a week, taking their few possessions with them. For another, they are governed by a system of ‘Luck’. The local government tests each citizen’s Luck and some are deemed unlucky, which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Citizens also compete to make each other unluckier by writing out violations for each other’s behaviour. Third, government and media are peculiarly collusive. Joining the household of local resident Edie and her young sons, Chaos watches television with them: ‘“Test Your Luck!” was on, the afternoon game show hosted by President Kentman’. A game show – hosted by the President? Another programme is Moving Day: ‘Like today’, a boy explains, ‘when everybody has to move, except it’s about how all the government stars change houses’. ‘Government stars?’, wonders Chaos, like the reader. ‘Like movie stars’, Edie explains: ‘It’s not real. -

'2009 MTV Movie Awards' Honors Ben Stiller With 'MTV Generation Award' Premiering LIVE Sunday, May 31, 2009 at 9pm ET/8pm CT From The Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 22 -- The 2009 MTV Movie Awards pays tribute to Ben Stiller with the coveted "MTV Generation Award" for his amazing contribution to Hollywood and for entertaining the MTV audience for years. From generation to generation, Ben Stiller has kept fans rolling with laughter since bursting onto the scene in Reality Bites and his early film roles and cult classics such as There's Something About Mary, Meet the Parents, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Tropic Thunder and now this summer's eagerly anticipated Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian in theaters May 22, 2009.

"That versatility and talent has earned him legions of devoted fans over the years which makes him a perfect recipient for the 'MTV Generation Award.'

Mccann Lit Review
Olentangy Local School District Literature Selection Review Teacher: Shachter / Boone / Overbeck /Boden School: Liberty High School Book Title: Let the Great World Spin Genre: Literary Fiction Author: Colum McCann Pages: 400 Publisher: Random House Copyright: December 2009 In a brief rationale, please provide the following information relative to the book you would like added to the school’s book collection for classroom use. You may attach additional pages as needed. Book Summary and summary citation: (suggested resources include book flap summaries, review summaries from publisher, book vendors, etc.) In the dawning light of a late-summer morning, the people of lower Manhattan stand hushed, staring up in disbelief at the Twin Towers. It is August 1974, and a mysterious tightrope walker is running, dancing, leaping between the towers, suspended a quarter mile above the ground. In the streets below, a slew of ordinary lives become extraordinary in bestselling novelist Colum McCann’s stunningly intricate portrait of a city and its people. Let the Great World Spin is the critically acclaimed author’s most ambitious novel yet: a dazzlingly rich vision of the pain, loveliness, mystery, and promise of New York City in the 1970s. Corrigan, a radical young Irish monk, struggles with his own demons as he lives among the prostitutes in the middle of the burning Bronx. A group of mothers gather in a Park Avenue apartment to mourn their sons who died in Vietnam, only to discover just how much divides them even in grief. A young artist finds herself at the scene of a hit-and-run that sends her own life careening sideways. -
Reviewing Romcom: (100) Imdb Users and (500) Days of Summer
. Volume 8, Issue 2 November 2011 Reviewing Romcom: (100) IMDb Users and (500) Days of Summer Inger-Lise Kalviknes Bore Birmingham City University, UK Abstract This article contributes to academic debates around the romantic comedy genre and comedy audiences by examining IMDb user reviews of (500) Days of Summer (2009). Directed by Marc Webb for Fox Searchlight Pictures, (500) Days of Summer was promoted with the tagline ‘Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl doesn’t’. This presents the film as an unconventional romantic comedy in at least three ways: Firstly, it suggests that these two characters will not actually end up together, which challenges the idea of the romcom couple as ‘meant to be’. Secondly, it presents the possibility that audiences might not get the happy ending we usually expect from comedy. And finally, the tagline casts the boy, rather than the girl, in the role as yearning romantic, thereby challenging the traditional gender roles of heterosexual relationships. So how did audiences respond to this film? At the time of writing, it has been rated by 75,716 IMDb users, and has an average score of 8.0 out of 10. This clearly suggests a favourable reception, but the IMDb reviews also offer qualitative data that can shed further light on how the film has been evaluated. What kinds of criteria are in operation? What elements do reviewers highlight as important for their experiences of the film? How is the film seen to fail for some viewers? Drawing on previous studies of romantic comedy, the analysis will consider how these particular audience members articulated their responses to (500) Days of Summer, as well as their positions as reviewers.
