Defining the Nervous American: Neurasthenia, Religion, And
Defining the Nervous American: Neurasthenia, Religion, and Assimilation 1880-1915 by Clare L. McGuire A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honors Department of History University of Michigan March 31, 2008 Advised by: Professor Martin Pernick 2 Introduction In the years between 1880 and 1915, the population of the United States changed dramatically: more immigrants than ever before arrived in the United States from all over the globe. Most of them were from places in the world that had previously sent few immigrants to the United States. Americans worried that the new arrivals, many of them from eastern and southern Europe, would not be capable of fully participating in American society, particularly politically, after lifetimes spent under autocratic governments. Americans and their leaders also worried that the new arrivals were staying in the large cities and forming ethnic neighborhoods where English was often a second language. Frederick Jackson Turner’s thesis of 1890, which stated that the American frontier in the West was officially closed, only added to this problem. The propensity of Eastern European Jewish immigrants in particular to stay in the large cities and to settle permanently rather than sojourn caused contemporary Americans to wonder about how these new peoples, with their unusual and old-fashioned customs, were to be assimilated. Over those same decades, the nervous disease neurasthenia- as first invented and described by the American neurologist and electricity enthusiast George Beard- gained popularity first across the United States and then across the Western world. Neurasthenia in its most basic sense was a lack of nerve force which could be cause by a number of factors. -
John Simm ~ 47 Screen Credits and More
John Simm ~ 47 Screen Credits and more The eldest of three children, actor and musician John Ronald Simm was born on 10 July 1970 in Leeds, West Yorkshire and grew up in Nelson, Lancashire. He attended Edge End High School, Nelson followed by Blackpool Drama College at 16 and The Drama Centre, London at 19. He lives in North London with his wife, actress Kate Magowan and their children Ryan, born on 13 August 2001 and Molly, born on 9 February 2007. Simm won the Best Actor award at the Valencia Film Festival for his film debut in Boston Kickout (1995) and has been twice BAFTA nominated (to date) for Life On Mars (2006) and Exile (2011). He supports Man U, is "a Beatles nut" and owns seven guitars. John Simm quotes I think I can be closed in. I can close this outer shell, cut myself off and be quite cold. I can cut other people off if I need to. I don't think I'm angry, though. Maybe my wife would disagree. I love Manchester. I always have, ever since I was a kid, and I go back as much as I can. Manchester's my spiritual home. I've been in London for 22 years now but Manchester's the only other place ... in the country that I could live. You never undertake a project because you think other people will like it - because that way lies madness - but rather because you believe in it. Twitter has restored my faith in humanity. I thought I'd hate it, but while there are lots of knobheads, there are even more lovely people. -
Childhood Choice…
06/02/2015 And the winner is…The Theory of Everything and The Imitation Game Whether or not they win a BAFTA the main locations for this year’s two leading BAFTA contenders are already winners in terms of house price rises To coincide with the 2015 BAFTA awards on Sunday 8 February, Halifax looked at the house prices in the main locations for 20 major UK films to see who’s scooped the gong for best performance and who’s picked up the award for best supporting role. In the past five years house prices around where this year’s two main contenders for film awards were set saw the biggest house prices rises of all 20 locations analysed. Prices in Cambridge (The Theory of Everything) have risen 26% and prices in Milton Keynes (The Imitation Game) have gone up 25%. Having a film associated with where you live is no guarantee of high house prices though as while both top performers have seen prices rise by more than their regional averages since 2009 only seven of the 20 locations analysed have done the same [Table 1]. House price rises in film locations over the last 10 years (2004-2014) 1983 classic Local Hero, which was largely filmed in Aberdeenshire, has been the strongest performing film location over the past ten years. The 86% rise in house prices largely reflects the strength of the local oil and gas based economy, which was featured in the film. Both The Theory of Everything (39%) and The Imitation Game (26%) again feature in the top five. -

Perry 2011 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT THIS IS HOW WE DO: LIVING AND LEARNING IN AN APPALACHIAN EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC SCENE (2011) Shannon A.B. Perry, A.B. & B.S.Ed., University of Georgia M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Fred J. Hay At the grassroots, Appalachian music encompasses much more than traditional music genres, like old-time and bluegrass. While these prevailing musics continue to inform most popular and scholarly understandings of the region’s musical heritage, many contemporary scholars dismiss such narrow definitions of “Appalachian music” as exclusionary and inaccurate. Many researchers have, thus, sought to broaden current understandings of Appalachia’s diverse contemporary and historical cultural landscape as well as explore connections between Appalachian and other regional, national, and global cultural phenomena. In April 2009, I began participant observation and interviewing in an experimental music scene unfolding in downtown Boone, North Carolina. -

The most infernal atmosphere and beats were packed on Disco Rigido (1989), the debut album by Die Warzau (1). Chicago also benefited by the work of former Killing Joke's drummer Martin Atkins, whose supergroup Pigface (1) interpreted industrial music as a producer's product, not unlike the producer of hip-hop: rhythm and noise form the foundation for a slew of guest vocalists such as Chris Connelly, Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails), Nivek Ogre (Skinny Puppy), Mary Byker (Gaye Bykers On Acid) and En Esch (KMFDM) to deliver shocking lyrics on albums such as Fook (1992). From this fertile soil Trent Reznor's Nine Inch Nails (12) were born, and the fate of industrial music changed dramatically. Reznor created a persona that was a cross of Dostoevsky's "demons", Goethe's Werther, Nietzsche's "ueber-mensch", and De Sade's perverts.
