  • Course Outline and Syllabus the Fab Four and the Stones: How America Surrendered to the Advance Guard of the British Invasion
    Course Outline and Syllabus The Fab Four and the Stones: How America surrendered to the advance guard of the British Invasion. This six-week course takes a closer look at the music that inspired these bands, their roots-based influences, and their output of inspired work that was created in the 1960’s. Topics include: The early days, 1960-62: London, Liverpool and Hamburg: Importing rhythm and blues and rockabilly from the States…real rock and roll bands—what a concept! Watch out, world! The heady days of 1963: Don’t look now, but these guys just might be more than great cover bands…and they are becoming very popular…Beatlemania takes off. We can write songs; 1964: the rock and roll band as a creative force. John and Paul, their yin and yang-like personal and musical differences fueling their creative tension, discover that two heads are better than one. The Stones, meanwhile, keep cranking out covers, and plot their conquest of America, one riff at a time. The middle periods, 1965-66: For the boys from Liverpool, waves of brilliant albums that will last forever—every cut a memorable, sing-along winner. While for the Londoners, an artistic breakthrough with their first all--original record. Mick and Keith’s tempestuous relationship pushes away band founder Brian Jones; the Stones are established as a force in the music world. Prisoners of their own success, 1967-68: How their popularity drove them to great heights—and lowered them to awful depths. It’s a long way from three chords and a cloud of dust.

    WEEK 1 Introduction to Nouns and Adjectives LESSON 1 Introduction to Nouns Concrete and Abstract Nouns A noun names a person, place, thing, or idea. Concrete nouns can be observed with our senses. Abstract nouns cannot. Exercise 1A: Abstract and Concrete Nouns Decide whether the underlined nouns are abstract or concrete. Above each noun, write A for abstract or C for concrete. If you have difficulty, ask yourself: Can this noun be touched or seen, or experienced with another one of the senses? If so, it is a concrete noun. If not, it is abstract. Our adventure began with a tattered map. Seeing the chocolates, the little girl’s face lit up with delight. The orchestra will be performing my favorite symphony. My curiosity led me to peek at the gift before my birthday. Charlotte’s favorite book is a mystery about a lost princess.

  • Tactics – Analysed and Described
    i Tactics – analysed and described by Warren Edgar FARMER Graduate Certificate of Management Batchelor of Professional Studies Submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Masters of Justice (Research) School of Justice Faculty of Law Queensland University of Technology 2019 ii Keywords: tactics, strategy, techniques, decision, decision making, conflict, delineation between tactics and strategy, relationship of tactics to techniques, tactics as an art and science iii Abstract This thesis analyses and describes tactics in resolution of conflict. The relationship and delineation between strategy and tactics, both being inherent to conflict, is poorly articulated. Consequently, tactics are inadequately defined, understood and applied. They are frequently confused with physical application of a technique rather than addressing the psychology and science inherent in decision attainment. This definitional inadequacy results in actions that are neither efficient, effective or ethical. Tactics are determined to be not only decision making but the attainment and sustaining of the decision sought in keeping with higher order intentions and constraints in conflict situations. iv Contents Page Chapter 1 – Introduction The gap 2 The dilemma and importance of definition 2 Why the gap must be filled – the provision of a definition 3 How the gap will be filled by this thesis 4 Research Aim 4 Research Objective 4 Research Outcome 5 Research Questions 5 Methodology 5 Chapter 2 – Literature Review - definitions Definitions 8 Etymological

Whittier-Ferguson, Chair Associate Professor Kali A. K. Israel Associate Professor Joshua L. Miller Assistant Professor Andrea Patricia Zemgulys © Elspeth Egerton Healey _____________________________________________________________________________ 2008 Acknowledgements I have been incredibly fortunate throughout my graduate career to work closely with the amazing faculty of the University of Michigan Department of English. I am grateful to Marjorie Levinson, Martha Vicinus, and George Bornstein for their inspiring courses and probing questions, all of which were integral in setting this project in motion. The members of my dissertation committee have been phenomenal in their willingness to give of their time and advice. Kali Israel’s expertise in the constructed representations of (auto)biographical genres has proven an invaluable asset, as has her enthusiasm and her historian’s eye for detail. Beginning with her early mentorship in the Modernisms Reading Group, Andrea Zemgulys has offered a compelling model of both nuanced scholarship and intellectual generosity. Joshua Miller’s amazing ability to extract the radiant gist from still inchoate thought has meant that I always left our meetings with a renewed sense of purpose. I owe the greatest debt of gratitude to my dissertation chair, John Whittier-Ferguson. His incisive readings, astute guidance, and ready laugh have helped to sustain this project from beginning to end. The life of a graduate student can sometimes be measured by bowls of ramen noodles and hours of grading.
