Both longer stories and flash fiction are included, and stories are told in past and present tense, and from first, second, and third person point of view. However, the narration of all of these stories stays close to the characters’ points of view, inhabiting their visceral experience. These stories take place in a variety of settings, including a beachside motel, college campuses, bars, and offices. All of these characters, though, struggle with questions of identity, intimacy, and purpose. These conflicts are revealed through the characters’ interactions with others and reactions to their environments, especially focusing on the small details of ordinary events and settings. By depicting these characters’ encounters with the everyday, their sense of self and experiences are shown, and thus the particularities of women’s relationships with their selves, their bodies, and their relationships are represented. In addition to this collection of short stories, the Writing Life Essay in this thesis discusses my development as a writer, my aims, and the writers, such as Dylan Landis, Joy Williams, and Mary Gaitskill, who have influenced my work. A Reading List of influential works, including fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, follows. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I want to thank the University of Central Florida MFA faculty and students for reading my work, providing feedback, and helping me grow as a writer and complete my thesis, especially my thesis adviser, Darlin’ Neal. I also thank my family for their support. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS DROPS OF LIGHT IN THE DARK .............................................................................................. 1 Green Fog ................................................................................................................................................. 1 Windows ................................................................................................................................................. 18 The Gleam of Departure ......................................................................................................................... 48 Jagged Teeth ........................................................................................................................................... 49 Empty Rooms ......................................................................................................................................... 74 A Temporary Trip ................................................................................................................................... 94 Looking Through the Screen .................................................................................................................. 97 Dancing Bodies..................................................................................................................................... 137 Contour Drawing .................................................................................................................................. 139 WRITING LIFE ESSAY ............................................................................................................ 165 The Canvas of Experience .................................................................................................................... 165 Works Cited .......................................................................................................................................... 180 READING LIST ......................................................................................................................... 182 v DROPS OF LIGHT IN THE DARK Green Fog Danielle twisted the key, listened to the click of her dorm room’s door locking, and strode down the fluorescent-lit hallway, her flip-flops slapping against the linoleum floor. She turned the corner and stopped in front of Olivia’s room. She knocked on the door, rapping her knuckles under the pink nametag with the name “Olivia” in silver glitter that the RA had put up. “Come in!” Olivia’s sing-song voice called. Danielle gently opened the door. Olivia’s peach-colored comforter lay crumpled on the floor next to where she crouched in front of a mirror. She was holding a chunk of her long golden brown hair in front of her face, pulling a flat iron over it, her mouth partly open and eyebrows knit together as she stared at the mirror. Danielle sat on the edge of her bed. Olivia’s roommate spent most of her time in her boyfriend’s dorm and her side of the room was empty. Olivia’s laptop was open on the floor, playing Simon and Garfunkel songs. Danielle tapped her foot on the floor and said to Olivia’s reflection, “So when do you want to head to the party?” Olivia slid the flat iron down over the end of her hair. She glanced at the clock. “It’s still only ten. I guess in a little bit, after we get ready.” She turned and surveyed Danielle. “You look so cute. You got that top when we went shopping, right?” Danielle blushed and looked down at her lap. “Oh, thanks. Yep, I did.” She’d been saving the top, a flowery tunic, for the party tonight. Andrew, a friend of Olivia’s, was holding a get-together at his place, a rental house close to campus. It was Danielle’s first time hanging out with Olivia’s larger circle of friends and she wanted to make a good impression. 1 Danielle ran her hands through her hair, tapping her foot. Olivia was still slowly running the flat iron over her hair. “Change the music if you want,” she said. “That’ll give me something to do,” Danielle said. She slid down to the floor. She scrolled through Olivia’s music and, clicking some rap songs, hit play. “To get us in the mood.” Olivia grinned and bounced her shoulders, exaggerating the movements. “Fuck yeah. Gonna get wasted tonight.” They laughed. A sharp tapping came from Olivia’s door. Danielle frowned. Olivia hadn’t said anyone else was coming over. But she said, “It must be Cameron,” and called out, “Come in!” Cameron swung the door open. He glanced down at Danielle. He blinked, raised his eyebrows, and attempted a tight smile. Danielle folded her arms over her chest and tried to smile back. He turned to Olivia. Olivia set down the flat iron and spun around, leaning forward on her knees. “Cam! You ready for tonight?” He sat on the floor and took the backpack off his shoulders. “Yep. And I brought some stuff to get us started.” He pulled a bottle of Captain Morgan and shot glasses bearing the university’s logo from the bag. “Thank you!” Olivia said. She brushed her hand through his short dark hair. “I like your haircut, by the way.” Cameron blushed and grinned. After he’d poured rum for himself and Olivia, he turned to Danielle. “You want some, Danielle?” She nodded. Cameron and Olivia clinked their glasses together and leaned their heads back, quickly draining their shots. Danielle took a deep breath and then shut her eyes and drank from her shot glass, trying not to scrunch her face when she finished. 2 Cameron turned to the laptop, still playing the rap songs, and frowned. “What’s with this music? I didn’t think you were into this, Olivia.” Olivia had returned to the mirror and the flat iron. She shrugged. “Danielle picked it. To get us in the mood.” Cameron tossed Danielle a blank look. “Oh.” Danielle glanced at the clock, and then at Olivia’s window, its blinds half-open. Faint whoops and hollers floated up from the sidewalk below, and she heard a car engine rev up, its bass deeply booming. The dorm building seemed to shudder for a moment from the noise. Olivia set the flat iron down and flipped her long hair over her shoulders. “Done.” She turned to Danielle. “Do you want to use the straightening iron, Danielle? You can use it to smooth down the front of your hair, to show your face more.” Danielle touched the wavy strands in front of her ears. “Are you sure?” Olivia nodded and held the iron out to her. “Go ahead.” Danielle scooted over in front of the mirror. As she ran the iron over her hair, she watched Olivia and Cameron in the mirror’s reflection. They sat together in front of the laptop, Cameron leaning toward Olivia as she scrolled through her music. He inched his face closer to hers and Danielle saw Olivia slowly move away from him. Olivia said to Danielle, “As soon

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

  • Seminar's Best Not Just for Women Bigger D & Bubba
    February 22, 2016, Issue 487 Seminar’s Best Not Just For Women Arguably the “it” panel of CRS 2016 almost didn’t get off the ground. When CRS board member and Scripps VP/Radio Programming and Wichita GM Beverlee Brannigan was approached with the idea of a session focused on women in the business, she didn’t think it was a good idea. “This women in radio panel has been on and off the agenda over the years and frankly, I was pretty bored with the topic,” she said. “When I understood what this was going to be, I was very excited to moderate it.” It’s a good thing, too. Scores Beverlee of women and the few men who were in the Brannigan room raved about it as the seminar’s best. Give A Jam: WYCD/Detroit’s Tim Roberts (third from left) “It’s easy to generalize about women in the industry because with Valory’s George Briner, Dot’s Ashley Campbell, it sounds like we are all one kind of woman,” Brannigan said in Michelle Tigard-Kammerer and Drake White and Valory’s opening “Women In The Industry: Breaking Barriers and Balance.” Justin Moore at the station’s 10 Man Jam last week (2/18). It’s a frustration shared by many, which was apparent in a full room of (mostly) women looking to recognize opportunities and Bigger D & Bubba navigate around barriers real or perceived. Brannigan pointed Many a Country radio personality has dreamed of owning and out that women aspiring to top positions in the industry may find distributing their own show, and Big D & Bubba are among limited access and the panelists discussed how the few who have done it successfully – perhaps the only ones they found – or made – their paths to success.

  • A Musical Personality
    Kurs: BA 1002 Examensarbete, master, jazz, 30 hp 2021 Konstnärlig masterexamen i musik, 120 hp Institutionen för jazz Handledare: Klas Nevrin Marína Ósk Þórólfsdóttir A Musical Personality A quest towards discovering my identity in music and developing it into a musical personality Skriftlig reflektion inom självständigt, konstnärligt arbete Det självständiga, konstnärliga arbetet finns dokumenterat i KMH:s digitala arkiv. Abstract The purpose of my research was to develop and strengthen my personality in music as a vocalist, so I would be able to freely let it out during any musical encounter. My base for the research was a duet with guitarist Mikael Máni Ásmundsson, but it was during a rehearsal with him that I realised for the first time I even had a musical personality – that I liked. Before, I had often felt uncomfortable and tense when playing music and not sure who I was as an artist. I limited myself to working with West Coast jazz, jazz standards, and lyrical improvisation, and I used various methods such as transcribing, ear-training in multiple forms, and improvisation exercises, to develop my musical personality. The research resulted in a nine-song album that Mikael Máni and I created in 2020 under the artist-name Tendra. That album is my examination project. I learned a great deal from the experience. I gained self-confidence, independence trust and calmness during this journey, and at last I feel comfortable with who I am as an artist – my musical personality has finally moved in. Keywords and guiding lights: storytelling, identity, melodies, lyrics, scatting, improvising, expression, rooted, musical ear, comfortable, personality.

    Automatic Extraction and Assessment of Entities from the Web Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doktoringenieur (Dr.-Ing.) at Technische Universit¨atDresden Faculty of Computer Science by Dipl.-Medieninf. David Urbansky born on November 25, 1984 in Dresden Advisers: Professor Dr. rer. nat. habil. Dr. h. c. Alexander Schill TUD, Dresden, Germany Associate Professor Dr. James Thom RMIT, Melbourne, Australia Professor Dr.-Ing. Michael Schroeder TU Dresden TUD, Dresden, Germany Day of Defense: October 15, 2012 Dresden, October 17, 2012 Statement of Authorship This dissertation has been conducted and presented solely by myself. I have not made use of other peoples work (published or otherwise) or presented it here without acknowledging the source of all such work. Dresden, July 9, 2012 David Urbansky Abstract The search for information about entities, such as people or movies, plays an increasingly important role on the Web. This information is still scattered across many Web pages, making it more time consuming for a user to find all relevant information about an entity. This thesis describes techniques to extract entities and information about these entities from the Web, such as facts, opinions, questions and answers, interactive multimedia objects, and events. The findings of this thesis are that it is possible to create a large knowledge base automatically using a manually-crafted ontology. The precision of the extracted information was found to be between 75{90 % (facts and entities respectively) after using assessment algorithms. The algorithms from this thesis can be used to create such a knowledge base, which can be used in various research fields, such as question answering, named entity recognition, and information retrieval.
