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.
Organised by Edwin Coomasaru (The Courtauld) and Rachel Warriner (The Courtauld)
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
Tribute to Kay Boyle
No full text for Ian Under a bright San Francisco starI earned my MA in Creative Writing at San Francisco State in 1968. I had the good fortune to have Kay Boyle standing in my proverbial corner. Kay is (I use the present tense because, once set down, literature is here to stay) an amazingly accomplished and well-versed author with some 40 published books to round out her long lifetime (1902-1992).

Genius eclipsed: the fate of Robert Boyle
No full textThe article focuses on 17th century British natural philosopher and scientist Robert Boyle. The author explores Boyle's relationship with contemporary scientist Sir Isaac Newton and considers why Newton, as opposed to Boyle, remained famous. The author explores the importance of Boyle's writings including "Of the Usefulness of Natural Philosophy," "Sceptical Chymist," and "Experiments and Considerations Touching Colours." The article also considers subjects including English polymath Robert Hooke, the Royal Society of London, and Boyle's Law about the relationship between the volume of a gas and its pressure
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
