Music for classical guitar by South African composers : a historical survey, notes on selected works and a general catalogue
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 296-309).This is the first comprehensive investigation of music for, or including, the classical guitar by South African composers. The focus of this research has been, firstly, to uncover as much of the repertoire as possible, and, secondly, to collate, study, catalogue and report on the information. A brief historical survey of the guitar in South Africa provides the context within which this study was conducted. The primary sources of quantitative data collection were through the archival catalogues of the South African Music Rights Organisation and through personal contact with guitarists, composers and guitar teachers. Other sources consulted were publishers, broadcasting corporations, recording companies, libraries and the internet. The body of the dissertation comprises biographical sketches, background notes, analyses and technical notes on 17 selected solo and chamber works dating from 1947 to 2007 by some of South Africa's most prominent composers and guitaristcomposers. The repertoire ranges in style from the traditional and ethnically inspired to the experimental and abstract. As this is an empirical survey, each selected entry includes details on instrumentation, duration, level of difficulty, number of pages, scordatura, commissions or requests, sources or publishers, premières and recordings. A biography of each composer is provided as well as background notes which offer an overview of the selected work. The notes discuss historical, cultural, musical and extra-musical influences, and frequently include references to interview material. The commentaries on the selected works, with musical examples, include an analytical component describing structure, form, stylistic and compositional elements, while the technical observations include performance suggestions and a grading for each work

According to the original description eight female cotypes and three clusters of galls are deposited in the AMNH, in the MCZ and in the author’s collection. In the AMNH we have found an adult and several galls and the adult is designated as lectotype and has been so labeled by the first author. This species remains as Andricus; pending a complete Andricus worldwide revision A. tecturnarum is considered a valid species. Images of the lectotype and its labels are given in Fig. 2.Published as part of Mar Ferrer- Suay, James M.

PH Coll 516.694The Cobbs & Mitchell Company was a Michigan based company that moved to Oregon in the early 1900s after buying timber tracts in the Siletz Basin. In about 1919, the Cobbs & Mitchell Company built the Valley & Siletz Railroad, connected to the Southern Pacific Railroad in the town of Independence, Oregon. They established a company town at the end of the railroad called Valsetz, a name which was a combination of "Valley and Siletz." In the 1920s, the population of Valsetz grew to almost 300 men, largely single men. However, over the next few decades, the population would double and men would live with their families in the company town. In 1947, the land, the company, and the town of Valsetz were sold to Herbert A. Templeton, who renamed the company the Valsetz Lumber Company. In 1959, the town was sold to the Boise-Cascade Corporation. The town of Valsetz would become one of the most long-lived company towns until it was bulldozed and abandoned in 1983. The young girl pictured is Dorothy Anne Hodson, the author of the town newspaper the Valsetz Star. (Sources: Lumber Ghosts by Kenneth A.

Sgt. Nathaniel Boehme, an openly gay veteran, became the nation’s full-time LGBTQ Veterans’ Services Coordinator in May of 2016.The 43rd Annual Seattle Pride Parade took place on June 25, 2017. The parade began at 11 a.m, and proceeded along 4th Avenue from Union Street up to Seattle Center, lasting about 2 ½ hours. The city estimates that about 200,000 people attended the event. The parade encountered minor clashes with protestors over the course of the event. An anti-gay religious group tried to take over the head of the parade, but they were rebuffed by marchers. Also, Black Lives Matter protestors held a sit in on the parade route to honor Charleena Lyles, a Seattle mother of four who was killed by police earlier in the month. The Seattle City Council, the Seattle Police Department, the Department of Parks and Recreation, the Seattle Public Libraries, Amazon, Starbucks, Microsoft, and Alaska Airlines all had representatives participating in the parade. Seattle Mayor Ed Murray also participated. Different stops along the parade route were staffed by announcers who spoke to the crowds. Announcers included Abbeu Roads, The Lady B, Dontella Howe, TylahMay Jackson, Violet Deville, Diva le Deviant, Tricky D and Dynasty.
In June 1974, Seattle celebrated its first Gay Pride Week; in 1992, Seattle's Gay Pride Week was expanded to explicitly include bisexual and transgender communities. Seattle Pride week continues annually, and is comprised of numerous events and gatherings which celebrate LGBTQ+ communities.

A Platform for Practical Nanophotonic Systems Nitrides and Oxides for Integrated Plasmonic Devices
Get PDFThe fields of nanophotonics and metamaterials have revolutionized the way we think of optical space (ε,µ), enabling us to engineer the refractive index almost at will, to confine light to the smallest of volumes, as well as to manipulate optical signals with extremely small foot prints and energy requirements. Throughout the past, this field of research has largely been limited to the use of noble metals as plasmonic materials, largely due to the high conductivity (low loss) and wide availability in research institutions. However, the research which follows focuses on the development of two alternative material platforms for nanophotonics: namely the transition metal nitrides and the transparent conducting oxides. Through this research, we have explored the nonlinear optical properties of thin films, demonstrating unique and ultrafast dynamic response, and have designed and realized high performance integrated plasmonic devices. Ultimately, this work aims to demonstrate the impact and potential of alternative plasmonic materials for numerous nanophotonic applications
