BOOKS ARE WINDOWS TO THEWORLD: A CALENDAR OF SPECIAL DAYS WITH BOOK-RELATED ACTIVITIES By Mary Jackson and Doris Gar low III ,Nebraska orison Produced by the Nebraska Library Commission in L commemoration of the Year of the Young Reader- 1989. ,-, 0 C; ,) INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Year of the Young Reader. We hope you are prepared for a year of wonder, joy and work, as well as a slightly 'different approach to programming to make year-round programming a reality and to give you help, support and plenty of options. We have prepared this calendar so that it may be used according to your personal style. The first part is a calendar that lists authors' birthdays, special commemorations, anniversaries and events. For those who prefer to design their own activities/programs, you may look at the events listed on the calendar and be immediately inspired with ideas for activities and special programs. Part two includes descriptions of activities that complement monthly themes, weekly themes or the day's event. Again, you have an opportunity to be creative. Activities are not described for every single day but as you read the text, more activities will occur to you or you'll be able to hitchhike and springboard from the ideas proposed. In Part Three, you will find activities that are appropriate for any day of the year. Simply insert any of these activiaties anywhere in your schedule. In addition, supplements to the calendar will be mailed out periodically during 1989. The supplements will contain more day-specific ideas, suggestions for ways to network with others in your community to facilitate cooperative activity, patterns, and other details. These materials will reach you before the month for which they are in- tended. While the calendar is being developed especially for 1989, we hope it will begin a cycle of program growth and evaluation and that it will be useable in coming years. As you originate and try programming activities, please share the successes. Just call or write (Bev Wittig, Nebraska Library Commission, 1420 P Street, Lincoln, NE 68508 or 800 -742- 7691). We'll add your ideas by transforming them into supplements and soon you'll all have an assortment of activities for each day. 4 1 No one is expected to offer activities every day. Therefore, you can use this calen- dar as a source of fresh activities for the coming years. We hope this is a helpful addition to your library service resources and that every child in Nebraska will have exciting experiences in the library that will remain memorable and meaningful for all their lives. We also hope this can serve as a catalyst to all adults in the community who want to bring children and books together to create a love of reading.

  • Section 10: Outdoor Action Song Guide
    Section 10: Outdoor Action Song Guide Songs, just like games, can be a useful and fun addition to a trip. Whether used to get the group warmed up on a chilly morning or to lighten the mood on the trail, songs should be a part of your leader bag of tricks. Most of these songs represent relatively low interpersonal risk except for songs that single out individuals such as Little Sally Walker. As for any activity, use your leader radar to determine when the individual and group dynamics are appropriate for a particular song. Enjoy! 10-1 Old Nassau Tune every heart and every voice, bid every care withdraw; Let all with one accord rejoice, in praise of Old Nassau. In praise of Old Nassau we sing, Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! Our hearts will give while we shall live, three cheers for Old Nassau. 10-2 10-3 10-4 10-5 10-6 10-7 10-8 Go Bananas CHORUS (With Actions) LEADER: Bananas of the world…UNITE! Thumbs up! Elbows back!

  • Multiple Personality Climbs Progressive Hill Climbs
    Audio Master Class Multiple Personality Climbs Progressive Hill Climbs Created By: Jennifer Sage Ride Objective: Five progressive climbs Working intensity: Zones 3–5a Class Length: 60 minutes Ride Objective The primary objective of this ride is five progressive climbs of varying cadence and intensity. The first is more for fun; the second raises the intensity and emotion. The third and fourth climbs are the hardest, and the final climb becomes a consistent, inward-focusing, Zen-like experience. When you ride outside, every climb is different. Some are steeper or longer, some are undulating, some are consistent in grade. Some are straight, some curve gently, some have 180- degree hairpin turns. The sights and sounds, the trees and scenery—they will be different on every climb. Even the same climb done on different days may feel different. This could be due to your mood or thoughts, the weather, your level of fatigue or fitness, or your personal motivation on that day to push hard or ride easier. It could be due to whom you are riding with, or if you are alone. Sometimes your goal is just to ride for fun; sometimes it’s for a specific training purpose. In this profile, each climb will be different. The personalities of the climbs will be achieved through varying genres of music. This particular profile uses pop, indie rock, classic rock, alternative electronic (an angry song), and a world-beat song for each of the differing personalities. You can create many rides based on this concept using some of the following additional genres: • Hip-hop • Rap • Heavy metal • Acid rock • Dance/trance • Psychedelic trance • Heavy drums • Retro • Disco • Grunge • Downtempo • Movie soundtracks • Trailer music/symphonic • Country • Reggae • Classical Copyright © 2015 Jennifer Sage and Indoor Cycling Association Page 1 Indoor Cycling Association Audio Master Class Multiple Personality Climbs As you can see, the possibilities are endless! The beauty of this profile is that it is also an educational tool to show your riders why you use different genres.

  • Strategic Intertextuality in Three of John Lennonâ•Žs Late Beatles Songs
    STRATEGIC INTERTEXTUALITY IN THREE OF JOHN LENNON’S LATE BEATLES SONGS* MARK SPICER his article will focus on an aspect of the Beatles’ compositional practice that I believe T merits further attention, one that helps to define their late style (that is, from the ground- breaking album Revolver [1966] onwards) and which has had a profound influence on all subsequent composers of popular music: namely, their method of drawing on the resources of pre-existing music (or lyrics, or both) when writing and recording new songs. This may at first seem entirely obvious, especially since nowadays such a practice has been adopted routinely by many songwriters and producers, and is in fact the prevailing compositional strategy within certain pop and rock genres, rap being probably the most blatant example. Many rap artists are well known for their so-called “rap versions,” as Tim Hughes has described them, in which a distinctive element of a pre-existing song is lifted out of its original context—typically via digital sampling—and used as the foundation upon which a new song is built.1 Will Smith’s hit “Wild Wild West” (1999), for example, is composed around a sample of the bass-driven main groove from Stevie Wonder’s funk classic “I Wish” (1976); and Eminem’s hit “Like Toy Soldiers” * This essay is based in part on the first chapter of my dissertation, “British Pop-Rock Music in the Post-Beatles Era” (Ph.D. dissertation, Yale University, 2001). An earlier version was presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Music Theory, Columbus, in November 2002.

  • ABSTRACT MY LIFE AS a PINBALL by Jennifer Davis My Life As A
    ABSTRACT MY LIFE AS A PINBALL By Jennifer Davis My Life as a Pinball is a coming-of-age, first-person narrative about a female protagonist, a thirteen-year-old girl named Alex who bounces back and forth between parents—her mother’s house in Ohio and her father’s house in Florida. The novella is set mostly in Florida and the plot revolves around a developing girl who is searching for agape. Alex’s parents don’t know how to be nurturing, as she bounces through her narrative. Her ideas about sexual love and parental love are skewed by her experience with sexual abuse. But this fourteen-year-old also clings to a dream of an ideal sexual love that is selfless. In her desire to find what she needs both for healthy sexual development, she finds ways to cope with the abuse by using her imagination and becoming, as she calls herself, “a steely marble.” Alex explains her life in her breezy teen’s lingo.

  • Introduction to the Special Issue on the Beatles: Nothing You Can Know That Isn’T Known?
    [PMH 9.1 (2014) 5-10] Popular Music History (print) ISSN 1740-7133 doi:10.1558/pomh.v9i1.27615 Popular Music History (online) ISSN 1743-1646 Marcus Collins Introduction to the special issue on The Beatles: Nothing you can know that isn’t known? Marcus Collins is Senior Lecturer in Cultural Department of Politics, History and History at Loughborough University. He is the International Relations author of Modern Love (2003) and editor of The Loughborough University Permissive Society and its Enemies (2007) as well as Leicestershire, LE11 3TU numerous articles on The Beatles and their con- UK temporaries. He is currently completing a mono- [email protected] graph on The Beatles and the culture, society and politics of 1960s Britain, and beginning a book- length project on the BBC and permissiveness. Abstract Writing on The Beatles has multiplied and diversified to an astonishing extent over the past half century. The contribution of academics to this literature has until recently been modest in volume and impact. However, multidisciplinary scholarship is now producing new insights into such subjects as The Beatles’ reception and their creative and commercial collaborations. Far from there being ‘Nothing you can know that isn’t known’ about The Beatles, scholars have much to explain regarding the band’s value and meaning in the 1960s and beyond. Keywords: 1960s; The Beatles; historiography; popular music For almost as long as people have been writing about The Beatles, they have won- dered whether it was time to stop. Some commentators in the 1960s felt that devoting any attention to them served to inflate the subject out of all proportion.
