The Petaluma mills could charge less because of the huge volume. Many local poultry men would buy one or two thousand sacks on each trip to the mill. In 1906, over 100,000 tons of feed were sold in Petaluma. The white leghorn chicken became the preferred breed be- cause it was small in size, needed less feed and laid more eggs. The average hen laid about 140 eggs per year and exceptional hens laid 175 eggs per year. The chicken business became so suc- cessful here that 9 out of 10 peo- ple settling in Petaluma in 1906 went into the business. Even downtown, everyone kept some chickens in their yard. Ten to fif- teen miles from town the ranches averaged over 10,000 birds. In 1906, in the Petaluma Val- ley, there were over 1,000,000 laying hens.

  • Desire, Disease, Death, and David Cronenberg: the Operatic Anxieties of the Fly
    Desire, Disease, Death, and David Cronenberg: The Operatic Anxieties of The Fly Yves Saint-Cyr 451 University of Toronto Introduction In 1996, Linda and Michael Hutcheon released their groundbreaking book, Opera: Desire, Disease, Death, a work that analyses operatic representations of tuberculosis, syphilis, cholera, and AIDS. They followed this up in 2000 with Bodily Charm, a discussion of the corporeal in opera; and, in 2004, they published Opera: The Art of Dying, in which they argue that opera has historically provided a metaphorical space for the ritualistic contemplation of mortality, whether the effect is cathartic, medita- tive, spiritual, or therapeutic. This paper is based on a Hutcheonite reading of the Fly saga, which to date is made up of seven distinct incarnations: George Langelaan published the original short story in 1957; Neumann and Clavell’s 1958 film adaptation was followed by two sequels in 1959 and 1965; David Cronenberg re-made the Neumann film in 1986, which gener- ated yet another sequel in 1989; and, most recently in 2008, Howard Shore and David Henry Hwang adapted Cronenberg’s film into an opera. If the Hutcheons are correct that opera engenders a ritualistic contemplation of mortality by sexualising disease, how does this practice influence composers and librettists’ choice of source material? Historically, opera has drawn on the anxieties of its time and, congruently, The Fly: Canadian Review of Comparative Literature / Revue Canadienne de Littérature Comparée CRCL DECEMBER 2011 DÉCEMBRE RCLC 0319–051x/11/38.4/451 © Canadian Comparative Literature Association CRCL DECEMBER 2011 DÉCEMBRE RCLC The Opera draws on distinctly 21st-century fears.

Through the analysis of compositions and performances by artists in Japan and the United States, I reveal how Japanese musical forms like hōgaku and matsuri-bayashi have been melded with non-Japanese styles such as jazz. I also demonstrate how the art form first appeared as performed by large ensembles, but later developed into a wide variety of other modes of performance that included small ensembles and soloists. Additionally, I discuss the spread of wadaiko from Japan to the United States, examining the effect of interactions between artists in the two countries on the creation of repertoire; in this way, I reveal how a musical genre develops in an intercultural environment.

  • Mendocino Coast Recreation and Park District, 2008
    Mendocino Coast Recreation and Park District Sphere of Influence Municipal Service Review Report March 14, 2008 Important Late Breaking News ... District Receives $13 Million Grant to Complete New Center A very significant event occurred after the completion of the public draft of this Service Review - the commitment by the CV Starr Foundation to provide approximately $13 million for construction completion of the C.V. Starr Community Center and Spath Aquatic Facility. This Center is discussed in Section Two: Starr Community/Spath Aquatic Center on page 48. As stated on page 50: The plan for the Aquatic Center has evolved over the past few years and will probably change again, but at this point the District is pretty clear about the road ahead. The entire project is expected to cost about $23.5 million upon completion - not including the cost of the land. The District has raised and spent half of the Center’s expected cost; it must raise the remainder to finish the project. The District has asked the Starr Foundation to provide the funds required to complete the Center. The Foundation’s Project Manager for the Center is proposing to the Foundation Board of Directors that they do so. As of the time of the drafting of this Review, the Starr Foundation has not yet provided a final funding commitment to complete the Starr/Spath Center. But there are indications they are likely to do so. They have now done so, and this is good news indeed! References to the required funding of the Center are scattered throughout this MSR.

  • The Hollywood Cinema Industry's Coming of Digital Age: The
    The Hollywood Cinema Industry’s Coming of Digital Age: the Digitisation of Visual Effects, 1977-1999 Volume I Rama Venkatasawmy BA (Hons) Murdoch This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2010 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. -------------------------------- Rama Venkatasawmy Abstract By 1902, Georges Méliès’s Le Voyage Dans La Lune had already articulated a pivotal function for visual effects or VFX in the cinema. It enabled the visual realisation of concepts and ideas that would otherwise have been, in practical and logistical terms, too risky, expensive or plain impossible to capture, re-present and reproduce on film according to so-called “conventional” motion-picture recording techniques and devices. Since then, VFX – in conjunction with their respective techno-visual means of re-production – have gradually become utterly indispensable to the array of practices, techniques and tools commonly used in filmmaking as such. For the Hollywood cinema industry, comprehensive VFX applications have not only motivated the expansion of commercial filmmaking praxis. They have also influenced the evolution of viewing pleasures and spectatorship experiences. Following the digitisation of their associated technologies, VFX have been responsible for multiplying the strategies of re-presentation and story-telling as well as extending the range of stories that can potentially be told on screen. By the same token, the visual standards of the Hollywood film’s production and exhibition have been growing in sophistication.
