The Novels of Harold Frederic
No full textI do not intend to defend the obviously untenable thesis that Frederic was a great writer and is not appreciated because of the nature of his subject matter. The author of The Damnation of Theron Ware seldom shows any sign of genius. What Frederic does, and often in a rather workmanlike manner, is tell a story of small-town and country people in upper New York state. In his early works, Seth\u27s Brother\u27s Wife and The Lawton Girl, the author writes about things he knows and has done. The works written about the same time as the two mentioned have a delightful simplicity and naïveté, and incidentally come very close to the realistic tradition in the novel. The majority of Frederic\u27s later works are tinged with a pseudo-sophistication, an artiness which just does not belong, and these elements detract from such an otherwise good thing as The Damnation of Theron Ware
Danube River Development Strategy: Interim Report
No full textThe Danube is an essential Inland Water Transport (IWT) corridor, particularly for the hinterland connection for the Port of Constantza. This port became one of the largest and busiest ports on the Black Sea, due to its strategic location at the cross roads of Europe and Asia and due to its capacity to handle large volumes of different types of cargoes. With the ongoing economic reforms in Romania it is expected that the Port of Constantza will develop into a gateway for Eastern and Central Europe and efficient IWT hinterland connections are therefore required. The project "Danube River Development Strategy" aims to formulate a strategy and to define measures to increase the competitive position of IWT and to improve the navigability of the Romanian stretch of the Danube between the Iron Gates II and Giurgeni. The approach of the project can be characterized as strategy formulation to create a high capacity transport corridor at minimum investment costs. The project comprises two phases, i.e. River Status Phase and Strategy Development Phase. The first phase of the project has been completed in September 1994 with the submission of the River Status Report, which describes the present status of the Danube river followed by the generation of alternative development strategies for the Danube. In the second project phase selected strategies are analyzed followed by the selection of the preferred river development strategy. This Interim Report for the Strategy Development Phase includes the analyses of the various alternative development strategies. The report will be presented to and discussed with the Romanian authorities to select and further define the preferred development strategy. This preferred strategy will then be further analysed and reported in the Draft Final Report. The main objective of the Danube River Development Strategy project is to improve the navigation conditions of the Romanian section of the Danube between the Iron Gates II (rkm 869) and Giurgeni (rkm 239) in order to create a competitive IWT hinterland connection for the Port of Constantza. Various alternative development strategies have been considered. The strategies are rated on multiple criteria, where it appeared that all considered strategies are economically viable. The alternatives combi-c3 and combi-c4 appeared to have the best results. For description of all the alternatives we refer to the report.Danube River Development Strateg

Frederic Chopin – 4 Balladia : raportti konsertin toteutuksesta
Full text linkThe author made his thesis in a concert form. The concert “Frederic Chopin – Four Ballades” was held on 10.10.2017 at Tampere Music Academy’s Pyynikki Hall. The concert consisted of only Chopin’s music and all the works were performed by the author of the thesis. The program was following: Frederic Chopin – Four Ballades: No.1 in G minor, Op. 23, No.2 in F major, Op. 38, No.3 in A-flat major, Op. 47, and No.4 in F minor, Op. 52. After the Ballades, Frederic Chopin's Mazurka in A minor Op. 17 No.4 was performed as an encore.
The main objective of this thesis was to delve into making a musically interesting and professional concert, which includes the whole cycle of works by one composer. The aim of this written report was to clarify the practicing process and the progress of the concert itself. In the report, the author tells about the composer, introduces the pieces played in the concert more closely, and explain the working process in detail. The ways of practising were gathered by participating in piano master-classes and collecting the advices of many teachers from different countries.
More attention has been paid to author’s own ideas and experience. As sources the author used biographies, general dictionaries, music analyses of composer’s works and different music scores. The poster, program and the video of the concert are found as attachments in the thesis. The results show that the performer and members of the audience were satisfied with the performance and the evaluator’s opinions gave interesting information for the developing process

Painting "Saddling a Bronco", by Frederic Remington, ca.1908
No full textPhotograph of a painting "Saddling a Bronco", by Frederic Remington, ca.1908. The painting shows a frightened horse out of control. Two men are trying to gain control of the horse while another looks on from the background.; "Frederic Remington was born in nearby Canton, NY in 1861. His father was a Civil War Hero and his mother came from a prosperous family. Frederic demonstrated great interest in horses and military things at an early age, and was sent to the Highland Military Academy in Massachusetts for secondary schooling. Developing an insatiable appetite for art, Remington received his first formal art training at Yale and the Art Students League, but left college before graduating to pursue the adventure and excitement of the western frontier. He gathered information, made sketches and took photographs which he later used at his home in New Rochelle, NY to create his paintings and bronzes. He died in 1909 of complications following an appendectomy, and is buried in Canton, NY.Remington's paintings and sculptures are owned by museums and private collectors throughout the world, with the largest collection located here in Ogdensburg at the Frederic Remington Art Museum. Through his heroic and savage depictions of cowboys, soldiers and indians, Remington glorified the theme of the West as the American Frontier." -- unknown author
“I am not joking” : a reconsideration on Frederic Henry and the lovely critics who laugh at him.
No full textAlmost no other American author is critically revered and equally dismissed as Ernest Hemingway. This essay surveys the prevailing critical views of the protagonists in A Farewell to Arms and investigates how these views have inhibited our understanding of the individual characters. By exploring the similarities in the male and female protagonists' scholarships, this essay takes up the question of critical determinism in Frederic Henry’s scholarship. I analyze Hemingway’s construction of his male protagonist’s sense of humour and show how it reveals a contrasting portrait of Frederic Henry compared to the portrait we derive of him from his critical scholarship. This essay addresses on the prevailing biases against Frederic Henry in current scholarship. I suggest that present critics fail to appreciate Frederic Henry’s positive attributes because they view Catherine Barkley as an opposition to Frederic Henry. I will also briefly study Frederic Henry’s use of black humour during the couple’s escape to Switzerland because compared to Catherine Barkley his humour is not critically acknowledged as one of the strengths of his character. Instead of laughing at Frederic Henry, present Hemingway scholars should bequeath irony and pity on Frederic Henry and reassess his critical identity in Hemingway scholarship.Bachelor of Art
