Her students are learning the fundamentals of the Internet. WEB-110 builds a solid foundation for the more advanced WEB-210 class. In WEB-210, students are learning how to build their own websites. In the Database Concepts (DBA-110) class, students are learning how to design and manage databases. Ms. Poole is teaching CTS-115 to the Advanced Technologies Seniors. The Seniors are studying how tech- nology relates to businesses and how technology can optimize business efficiency. Reported by: Ryan Thomson Biomedical Academy News Poor Anna Garcia died… again. In Biomedical Academy, the Freshman are looking at all the evidence from poor Ms. Garcia’s remnants. They are determining whether she died from nat- ural causes or if there were a little more to it. The Blood Drive for the Community Blood Bank was March 14. It was a great success. Free t-shirts were given away to those who gave blood. The Biomedical Freshman also got to determine the calorie content of some foods by burning the food and looking at the change in it’s mass. Biomedical Juniors completed a lab where they extracted a bi-luminescent gene from a glow-in-the-dark jelly fish and placed it in a bacteria cell. The bacteria glows when placed under a black light.

The Engineering Juniors have been building and wiring VEX robots in the Engineering Lab. By doing this, the Engineering students are able to learn about control systems for robots. Meanwhile, the Engineering Se- niors have been learning about manufacturing that is ran by using binary code, logic ladders, stops and starts, and 1’s and 0’s. This will give the students a great advantage when looking for a job because most local businesses need PLC (Programmable Large Circuits) operators.

Throughout the year, Beta members volunteer their time to serve others in the school and throughout the community. We all need help from time to time. We should all make a habit of helping others. Please take note of a recent service activity and an upcoming event. In February, seven CCCMC students joined various other volunteers at Caldwell County Yoke- fellow. Yokefellow provides emergency outreach to families in need, in the form of clothing, food, and monetary assistance. The students worked in the thrift store section of Yokefellow, scattered among the room to hang, fold, and restock the shelves and racks with clothes. The job normally takes Yokefellow staff all day, but with the help of the volunteers who came out to help, it was finished in three hours! The students worked in various sections of the thrift store, not only restocking but also reorganizing, moving some things around, and whatever else needed to be done. Two of our sophomores even redesigned the window display. Coming together as a group to not only help others out, but to see the job completed at the end of the day, was a great experience, not to mention the doughnuts they got to enjoy! Reported by: Cassie Mattheis Beta members will be serving in “The Caldwell County Puzzle Fest” hosted by the CCCMC SkillsUSA chapter. The festival is on April 9th from 10 am to 3pm for the Whitnel Autism pro- gram and Autism Awareness Month. Wrist bands will be sold for $5.00 and include everything except food. The festival will have games, food, vendors, art auction, face painting and more! All money raised will be donated to the Whitnel Autism program and will help children in our community with autism.

  • SWE PIEDMONT Vs TUSCANY BACKGROUNDER
    SWE PIEDMONT vs TUSCANY BACKGROUNDER ITALY Italy is a spirited, thriving, ancient enigma that unveils, yet hides, many faces. Invading Phoenicians, Greeks, Cathaginians, as well as native Etruscans and Romans left their imprints as did the Saracens, Visigoths, Normans, Austrian and Germans who succeeded them. As one of the world's top industrial nations, Italy offers a unique marriage of past and present, tradition blended with modern technology -- as exemplified by the Banfi winery and vineyard estate in Montalcino. Italy is 760 miles long and approximately 100 miles wide (150 at its widest point), an area of 116,303 square miles -- the combined area of Georgia and Florida. It is subdivided into 20 regions, and inhabited by more than 60 million people. Italy's climate is temperate, as it is surrounded on three sides by the sea, and protected from icy northern winds by the majestic sweep of alpine ranges. Winters are fairly mild, and summers are pleasant and enjoyable. NORTHWESTERN ITALY The northwest sector of Italy includes the greater part of the arc of the Alps and Apennines, from which the land slopes toward the Po River. The area is divided into five regions: Valle d'Aosta, Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna. Like the topography, soil and climate, the types of wine produced in these areas vary considerably from one region to another. This part of Italy is extremely prosperous, since it includes the so-called industrial triangle, made up of the cities of Milan, Turin and Genoa, as well as the rich agricultural lands of the Po River and its tributaries.

If the sediment particles settle and form an alluvial cover, this mode of erosion is impeded by the protection offered by the grains themselves. Channel erosion by abrasion is therefore related to the amount and pattern of alluvial cover, which are functions of sediment load and hydraulic conditions, and which in turn are functions of channel geometry, slope and sinuosity. This study presents the results of alluvial cover experiments conducted in a meandering channel flume of high fixed 15 sinuosity. Maps of quasi-instantaneous alluvial cover were generated from time-lapse imaging of flows under a range of below- capacity bedload conditions. These maps were used to infer patterns

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION ARTS & SCIENCES “I THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING YOU”: CONSIDERING THE UTILITY OF RHETORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL CRITICAL APPROACHES TO KANYE WEST’S YE CORY N. STEINLE SPRING 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Communication Arts and Sciences and Labor and Employment Relations with honors in Communication Arts and Sciences Reviewed and approved* by the following: Bradford Vivian Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Thesis Supervisor Lori Bedell Associate Teaching Professor in Communication Arts & Sciences Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This paper examines the merits of intrinsic and extrinsic critical approaches to hip-hop artifacts. To do so, I provide both a neo-Aristotelian and biographical criticism of three songs from ye (2018) by Kanye West. Chapters 1 & 2 consider Roland Barthes’ The Death of the Author and other landmark papers in rhetorical and literary theory to develop an intrinsic and extrinsic approach to criticizing ye (2018), evident in Tables 1 & 2. Chapter 3 provides the biographical antecedents of West’s life prior to the release of ye (2018). Chapters 4, 5, & 6 supply intrinsic (neo-Aristotelian) and extrinsic (biographical) critiques of the selected artifacts. Each of these chapters aims to address the concerns of one of three guiding questions: which critical approaches prove most useful to the hip-hop consumer listening to this song? How can and should the listener construct meaning? Are there any improper ways to critique and interpret this song? Chapter 7 discusses the variance in each mode of critical analysis from Chapters 4, 5, & 6.

Feel free to link to this archive. Send questions to [email protected] Pippin: Corner of the Sky alternate lyrics? Question: Dear Stephen, I'm a fan for over 30 years, blah blah. I have a question about Corner of the Sky. I've seen two different sets of lyrics for it; the one I'm familiar with has the lyrics "Rain comes after thunder; winter comes after fall" while the other one uses "Thunderclouds have their lightning". I learned the one I learned because that's the version my 1983 singing partner Heidi knew. Can you enlighten me about these differing versions? Also, for some strange reason my brain keeps wanting to do "Rivers will run" instead of "Rivers belong" and "Children play in" instead of "Children fit in"-- I think I was doing that back in '83 too. Why do I do that? Did such lyrics ever exist, or is it just my brain acting weird (and if so, should I correct myself?)? …Thank you for all your wonderful contributions both in the music world and on this board, archived messages of which I've been reading the past few days and from which I'm receiving much inspiration and support. -Walter Answer from Stephen Schwartz: Your guess was a good one.

Pages, figure and line numbers are for the original manuscript. Some revised figures are attached. Revised figure captions are below. REVIEWER 2 (O. Sass) GPR: 1.We have tried migrating the GPR data that crosses the meadow using a constant migration velocity of 0.065 m/ns (representative of the meadow sediments). Unfortu- nately, the resulting image is of much lower quality than the unmigrated version. This is because many of the diffraction hyperbolas originate from out-of-plane features. In C722 addition, we have included the following text to justify why we have corrected our cross- sections using the higher velocity for bedrock and talus: “Finally, each trace was corrected from time to depth using an average velocity de- termined by analyzing the normal moveout of reflections on several common-midpoint profiles (CMPs) that were recorded over talus and bedrock at the site (0.12 m/ns; red circles in Figure 3a; e.g., Annan, 2005). Velocities within the fine-grained soil layer underlying the meadow are expected to be significantly slower.

  • Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song from Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970S Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC B
    Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song From Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970s Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC Bachelor of Music, University of Ottawa, 2005 Master of Arts, Music Theory, University of Western Ontario, 2007 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Virginia May, 2014 © Copyright by Emily Margot Gale All Rights Reserved May 2014 For Ma with love iv ABSTRACT My dissertation examines the relationship between American popular song and “sentimentality.” While eighteenth-century discussions of sentimentality took it as a positive attribute in which feelings, “refined or elevated,” motivated the actions or dispositions of people, later texts often describe it pejoratively, as an “indulgence in superficial emotion.” This has led an entire corpus of nineteenth- and twentieth-century cultural production to be bracketed as “schmaltz” and derided as irrelevant by the academy. Their critics notwithstanding, sentimental songs have remained at the forefront of popular music production in the United States, where, as my project demonstrates, they have provided some of the country’s most visible and challenging constructions of race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, and morality. My project recovers the centrality of sentimentalism to American popular music and culture and rethinks our understandings of the relationships between music and the public sphere. In doing so, I add the dimension of sound to the extant discourse of sentimentalism, explore a longer history of popular music in the United States than is typical of most narratives within popular music studies, and offer a critical examination of music that—though wildly successful in its own day—has been all but ignored by scholars.
