Susan Boyle: Living The Dream
No full text"Jangan menilai orang dari penampilannya". Ungkapan itu tampaknya cocok untuk Susan Boyle. Tampil di acara Britain's Got Talent pada usia mendekati 50 tahun dengan penampilan kuno membuatnya dipandang sebelah mata. Namun, semua berubah ketika dia mulai bernyanyi. Para juri dan penonton yang pada awalnya meremehkan, menyambut dengan tepuk tangan yang meriah. Wanita bernama lengkap Susan Magdalena Boyle itu sebenarnya terlahir dengan kesulitan belajar. Namun, dia memiliki bakal vokal yang indah, bakat yang berasal dari ayahnya. Sejak kecil Susan berlatih dengan mengikuti tes vokal dan juga berlatih sendiri di rumah. Pada tahun 2009, Susan memberanikan diri untuk mengikuti audisi Britain's Got Talent. Penampilan perdananya menjadi berita besar. Klip penampilannya yang diunggah ke Youtube mendapatkan respons yang sangat banyak. Mendadak, Susan yang bukan siapa-siapa berubah menjadi sosok yang paling banyak dibicarakan. Dunia mulai mengalami wabah SuBo. Ikuti kisah hidupnya, manis pahit yang dialaminya sejak kecil, ceritanya di balik layar Britain's Got Talent, dan kisahnya kala menjalani kehidupan barunya sebagai seorang bintang.xviii, 286 hlm.; 20 c
susan pui san lok: seven x seven – Courtauld x GSA x GI2021
No full textArtist talk and in conversation with Tiffany Boyle.
‘seven x seven’ marked the Scottish exhibition debut of London-based artist susan pui san lok, bringing together new commissions and existing work across installation, sound, film and text, for Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art 2021. The exhibition focused upon the artists’ enquiry into witchcraft, gender and persecution via themes of voice, memory, remembrance and resistance. Presented as a collaboration between the Courtauld and The Glasgow School of Art, this artist talk discussed the artists’ presentation for Glasgow International 2021, and her 2019 exhibition ‘A COVEN A GROVE A STAND’ at Firstsite, Colchester. A limited edition multiple with texts from curators Mother Tongue and Dr Alexandra Kokoli was launched as part of this event.

John J. Boyle III Interview, 28 June 2013
No full textJohn (Jack) Boyle is a native Clevelander hailing from University Heights and attended high school at St. Ignatius. He left the Cleveland area to attend Boston College to return and work his father at United Agencies until his retirement in 2000. Boyle was familiar with many reoccuring people who would come to be ever-present in the Cleveland Heights community. One of his close friends, Harry Fagan, was an important part of Heights Community Congress. Boyle and a few others felt that a change was necessary in the late 1960s when he ran for a councilman position and lost. Those who supported him were not happy with the incumbents retaining their positions for as long as they did. Boyle and his wife Mary were involved in many aspects of the community. In the interview he talks about fair housing, blockbusting, becoming mayor, and serving on the planning commission

A study of air-to-water sound transmission, with application to semi-closed circuit diver breathing apparatus
No full textNoise reduction does not seem to have been of primary importance in the overall design of Semi-Closed Circuit Diver Breathing Apparatus (SCCBA). The noise radiation from the breathing apparatus is an important operational consideration as SCCBA sets are used for mine clearance purposes and they may acoustically trigger the mine whilst it is being defused. Trials were undertaken in order to establish the acoustic signature of SCCBA sets in the diver's working region. These established the SCCBA counterlung as the major contributor to the acoustic field immediately in front of the diver. The SCCBA counterlung was modelled as a thin rectangular enclosure of air, excited by an internal monopole sound source, radiating out into water. Three such models were developed: an initial monopole source air-to-water sound transmission model; a baffled front panel box model (ignoring diffraction and other box panel contrtibutions to the acoustic field in front of the diver); and, finally, a boundary element box model. The latter was used to model diffraction effects and the acoustic radiation from all six panels of the box. There is a lack of published experimental data concerning the nature of the near field from a monopole sound source after transmission from air to water. This is because the near field is not of primary concern in most practical applications of air to water sound transmission. However, the near field is of primary importance for this research as it is within the diver's working region. The spatial FFT method (otherwise known as Near Field Acoustic Holography - NAH) was found to give the most accurate near field results for the initial box model. The significance of diffraction, side and rear panel contributions to the radiated acoustic field from the box was assessed using the two other box models and these contributions were found to be significant. Thus the sound radiation from the counterlung of the SCCBA set, in the diver's working region, should be predicted using a boundary element model.</p
Spektaklet Susan Boyle på YouTube: Normer och värderingar av kvinnokroppen – Kuolema- ja sururituaalien virtualisaatio internetissä
No full textIn her article, Annika Kumlin analyzes a YouTube video clip introducing Susan Boyle, the middle aged woman who took Britain by a storm in the Britain’s Got Talent reality show in 2009. The focal point in the article is the judges’ and audience’s surprised, even appalled reaction to her, as she appears on the stage for the very first time at the show. The video clip is only one minute and 17 seconds in lenght, but very rich in meaning, when it comes to the presentation and normative evaluation of a middle aged female body in a tv show. Based on her analysis of the clip, and taking the position of an participating observer, Kumlin seeks to understand the quality and amount of attention Susan Boyle’s appearance received at the time. Kumlin uses critical discourse analysis in combining physicality, gender, and age into a discursive construction about femininity and the grotesque.In her article, Annika Kumlin analyzes a YouTube video clip introducing Susan Boyle, the middle aged woman who took Britain by a storm in the Britain’s Got Talent reality show in 2009.

Lo strano caso di Susan Boyle. Ovvero, quando la comicità diventa virale
No full textEra l’11 aprile 2009, quando Susan Boyle si presentò alle audizioni del celebre talent show inglese Britain’s got talent,. Allora non era che una strana signora di 47 anni con una storia al limite del disagio psichico alle spalle: non aveva lavoro, non era mai stata fidanzata – mai neanche baciato un uomo a sentir lei – e viveva con il gatto Pebbles in una specie di piccolo villaggio scozzese. Perché il sogno della Boyle si realizzasse sarebbero dovuti passare solo sette mesi, un record assoluto nell’industria discografica ormai in atavica crisi. Il 23 novembre del 2009, infatti, uscì il suo primo disco da solista. Un album che è stato uno dei maggiori successi dell’industria discografica di tutti i tempi, vendendo nella prima settimana più di due milioni di copie in tutto il mondo. La domanda non può che essere allora: come ha potuto fare una ridicola signora scozzese a diventare una vera cantante in così poco tempo? E quanto può aver contato proprio quella presentazione così sopra le righe perché il miracolo si compisse? Sì, perché Susan era già famosa prima che i discografici si interessassero a lei, proprio grazie a quella prima esibizione e al web attraverso il quale si è diffusa come un virus. Dopo che la trasmissione televisiva fu vista da una decina di milioni di spettatori infatti, il provino della Boyle fu riversato in Internet mandando alle stelle gli accessi nel giro di poche ore. Si parla di centinaia di milioni, tanto da fare di questo caso “il” caso per eccellenza per illustrare le possibilità dei cosiddetti nuovi media. La più vista e scaricata, ma anche la più citata dagli autori di libri sulla rete che portano proprio il suo caso per dare una misura del suo “potere”. Un potere che sembra avere a che fare proprio con il comportamento autoironico che, come vedremo grazie all’analisi semiotica del video di quell’esibizione, questo strano personaggio ha manifestato fin da quando ha messo piede sul palco
