  • For Bloggers Seeking Name Recognition, Nothing Beats a Good Scandal - New York Ti
    For Bloggers Seeking Name Recognition, Nothing Beats a Good Scandal - New York Ti... Page 1 of 2 October 31, 2005 For Bloggers Seeking Name Recognition, Nothing Beats a Good Scandal By TOM ZELLER Jr. It's a fair bet that, given a political scandal of a certain scale, the usual blogs - DailyKos, AmericaBlog, Instapundit and Wonkette - will draw traffic and links. Make it a media scandal, like Dan Rather's "60 Minutes" fiasco or Jayson Blair's fabrications at The New York Times, and other sites might bubble to the top: Romenesko or perhaps Gawker for a snideways view of things. And why not? As in any other medium, branding matters, and these sites have proven their mettle in scandals past. But the blogosphere is expanding at a rate of 70,000 sites a day, according to Technorati, the blog search portal, which now tracks activity on more than 20 million blogs in real time - and the right bit of news can always catapult new sites into the limelight. Ariana Huffington's relentless drubbing of Judith Miller, the New York Times reporter, drove the relatively new HuffingtonPost.com high into Technorati's rankings. Her site's popularity continued right through Friday's indictment of I. Lewis Libby, the White House staff member accused of making false statements during an investigation into the leak of a Central Intelligence Agency operative's name. At day's end, roughly 20 new links per hour were being made to HuffingtonPost.com. "I would say that's a pretty significant blogometric pressure," said David L.

    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

Alvvays (pronounced “Always”) is a Canadian indie pop band formed in Toronto, Ontario in 2011. Their debut album, “Alvvays”, was released in 2014, peaking at number one on the US college charts. Their second studio album, “Antisocialites”, was released in September 2017. Alvvays’ music has been described as jangle pop by the music press and its members. According to Rankin, the band’s emphasis is primarily on strong melodies, rather than for a specific genre: “If old people ask, I say it sounds like the Cranberries. If young people ask, I call it jangle pop. If a punk asks, I say it’s pop”. The band sounds similar to Best Coast and has often been compared to Camera Obscura. “Antisocialites” is set to carry the band to new heights, with Molly Rankin’s distinctive vocals and erudite lyrics taking center stage against a kaleidoscopic backdrop of pop, shoegaze, punk, and some brand new tricks befitting a band that sounds wise beyond its years. After releasing a debut album of noisy pop that was perfectly formed and felt like the work of a band already at the summit of their career, it seemed like the only place Alvvays could have gone was down. Maybe sideways, at the very best.

  • Role Playing E9
    Life Interrupted: Journey Home ♦ 111 Role Playing E9 TEACHER BACKGROUND The Japanese American experience impacted more than just the people relocated to the camps. Many Japanese Americans had supporters on the outside. Some inmates even had family members on the East Coast who were not relocated. There were many people who were prejudiced against Japanese Americans before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Afterwards, anger and hatred toward Japanese Americans became much more pronounced. MATERIALS Journey to Topaz by Yoshiko Uchida (with relevant page numbers bookmarked); Props such as hats, suitcases, Christmas presents, etc... (optional) PROCEDURES Divide the class into small groups of 4-6 members. Within the groups ask for volunteers to be actors in a role play. The other group members will serve as “researchers” to help the actors prepare their role play. Have each group read the setting for their group. The research- ers should read the pages in which the scene is described in Journey to Topaz. Have actors chose characters who appear in Journey to Topaz or which they make up. Give students approximately 20 minutes to prepare their role plays. Groups then take turns presenting their role plays to the class. After each group completes their role play, debrief and talk about why characters acted as they did. GROUP 1 - Setting - Japanese American family home in California on the evening of Mon- day, December 8, 1941 as they listen to the war news on the radio when suddenly they hear loud knocking at their front door.

    "I'm an American" — George Takei on a lifetime of defying stereotypes By Kalama Kelkar, PBS Newshour on 05.18.17 Word Count 1,414 Level MAX George Takei arrives at the 2014 Human Rights Campaign Gala in Los Angeles, California. AP Photo George Takei, the famed actor and activist perhaps best-known for his role of Sulu in "Star Trek" or for his posts on civil rights to his millions of social media followers, has lived many lives. Among them: he was one of roughly 120,000 Japanese-Americans who lived through internment after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, an experience that he says he feels more obliged than ever to discuss. He recently recounted in the The New York Times, “I was 7 years old when we were transferred to another camp for ‘disloyals.’ My mother and father’s only crime was refusing, out of principle, to sign a loyalty pledge promulgated by the government. The authorities had already taken my parents’ home on Garnet Street in Los Angeles, their once thriving dry cleaning business, and finally their liberty.” After they were released, he and his family had to readjust. Takei ran for school government in junior high and high school, studied architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, and earned a degree in drama from the University of California, Los Angeles. A turning point for his This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. career came in 1966 when he began playing the role of Hikaru Sulu in the Star Trek television series. From the beginning, Takei fought stereotypes and tropes imposed on his character — in one instance, for the "Star Trek" episode “The Naked Time,” Takei convinced writer John D.F.

  • George Takei on "Star Trek" by John C
    Sulu Speaks : George Takei on "Star Trek" By John C. Tibbetts TIBBETTS INTRODUCTION TO THE INTERVIEW: The second filmin the "Star Trek" series, Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, is now playing to packed theaters across the nation. The first film, guided by Gene Roddenberry and Robert Wise, was a thoughtfulexcursion into some of the philosophical implications of the original television series. The second film,according to George Takei, is "high adventure" all the way. Shooting began on Stage 9 at Paramount on November 9, 1981; principal photography concluded on January 29, 1982. It was directed by Nicholas (Time After Time) Meyer, scripted by Jack B. Sowards from a story by Harve Bennett and Jack Sowards, and produced by Harve Bennett and Robert Sallin. Needless to say, Mr. George Takei is delighted at the continuing success story of the "Star Trek" franchise.. George is a multitalented performer who, long before he donned the uniform and personna of "Sulu," had demonstrated a flair for the theatre. His first professional job in film entertainment was as a voice dubber forthe classic Japanese science fiction film,Rodan (1957). He appeared before the movie cameras for the first time while a student at UCLA. The film was Ice Palace (1960) with Richard Burton, Robert Ryan and Carolyn Jones. He also debuted on television for an episode of Playhouse 90 at this, same time. Then came many guest shots on other television series, including Hawaiian Eye, Maverick, 77 Sunset Strip, and Adventures in Paradise. The role of "Sulu," the helmsman for the U S. S.
