    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to lielp you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated vwth a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large dieet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Die Kunst, Einen Bleistift Zu Spitzen
    DAVID REES Die Kunst, einen Bleistift zu spitzen 15797_Rees_Bleistift_001-004.indd 1 25.06.2014 09:07:16 Buch Dieses Buch ist eine Liebeserklärung an ein Handwerk, das David Rees zwar nicht selbst erfunden, aber auf die Spitze getrieben hat: Bleistif- ten die ideale Form verpassen. Natürlich ist ein Buch, das sich damit beschäftigt, wie man am besten und schönsten einen Bleistift spitzt, lustig. Gleichzeitig erstaunt einen die Ernsthaftigkeit, mit der Rees die unterschiedlichen Methoden des Bleistiftspitzens beschreibt – vom Taschenmesser über den handbe- triebenen ein- oder mehrklingigen Kurbelspitzer bis zum Experiment mit der eigenen Willenskraft. Rees weiß alles über die Kunst des Blei- stiftspitzens. Ein Handbuch, das puren Nonsens und philosophische Fragestellungen zu einem unvergleichlichen Lesegenuss verwebt! »Herrlich verrückt!« Spiegel Online Autor David Rees wurde 1972 in North Carolina geboren.

  • A Conference in New York City
    Design, desire, GOLD and demand FRIDAY, APRIL 11 – SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 2014 a conference in New York City Initiatives in Art and Culture takes a wide-ranging look at Coomi. Photo: courtesy, Origin, Ayutthaya. 2013. on Shank. Rose-cut Diamonds With Stupa Sculpture by Head Piece Surrounded 15th-Century Bronze Coomi, gold in its fourth annual international conference devoted to this precious metal. With a focus on jewelry, we explore the Antiquity 20--kt Gold Ring With underpinnings of gold's abiding emotional power and enduring value, how specific design choices contribute to object quality, and how particular techniques, cutting- edge technologies, and forms are applied to create jewelry that has personal meaning. We look too at how the success of a collection can be shaped by naming and the specific narrative constructed around it. We then turn to the purchaser, considering especially the challenges and opportunities of marketing to millenials. Trends and trend forecasting are also considered given the criticality to manufacturers and retailers of understanding both the messages and aesthetics that will resonate in an evolving marketplace. Ways that consumers can be confident that their purchases are not only aesthetically and emotionally pleasing but ethically sourced are also addressed, with discussion of due diligence under Dodd–Frank and a panel devoted to fair gold, artisanal mining, traceability, and the marketplace. We are deeply grateful to the following contributors who have made this conference possible. Richline is the Leadership Sponsor. Gemological Institute of America and Melissa Joy Manning are sponsors at the Supporter Level. We are grateful for sponsorship from IPPOLITA, Kara Ross, LLC., and Macklowe Gallery and support from Barbara Tober.

  • A Multimedia Project on Aging in Mid Missouri
    A MULTIMEDIA PROJECT ON AGING IN MID MISSOURI University of Missouri School of Journalism Professional Project in partial completion of the Requirements for the degree Master of Arts by DIHUI SHELLY YANG Spring 2014 PROJECT COMMITTEE Keith Greenwood (Chair) Assistant Professor University of Missouri School of Journalism David L. Rees Professor | Chair, Photojournalism Faculty University of Missouri School of Journalism Brian W. Kratzer Assistant Professor University of Missouri School of Journalism Acknowledgements My project may not be perfect, but it would not have been completed without the support and encouragement from my committee. I would like to give my sincere and grateful thanks to all my committee members for believing my fancy and unrealistic dreams and not laughing at my mediocre results. Brian has such a talent for finding out commendable points out of trashy work. He squeezes time from his forever-busy schedule to discuss editing ideas with me with full of patience. I believe having such dedicated mentors for each student is the very reason that this school is always thriving and glorious. Gaining access is in many cases the most difficult part of doing a documentary. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the Columbia Missourian. Being a Missourian reporter helped me so much in blending in with these seniors who have been loyal readers of the newspaper all their life. I was also very lucky to have met Ellen Gallo, one of the only four Lenoir residents who showed up at my project presentation at Lenoir last June. She introduced me a list of subjects and paved my way into the retirement home.
