Good Night, Bat! : Good Morning, Squirrel! by P. Meisel
No full textMeisel, Paul. Good Night, Bat! : Good Morning, Squirrel! Highlights, 2016.Paul Meisel, Geisel Honor award winning author and illustrator, creates a humorous story about friendship and miscommunication. This fictional picture book follows homeless Bat on his journey to finding the perfect new home. Through whimsical mis-read notes the friendship between Bat and Squirrel blossoms.The literary content in this story is invaluable for young readers. Meisel demonstrates the complexities of the English language by playing with simple words and phrases while demanding that readers also read the images. This play on words offers a charming world in which young children can explore and expand upon their vocabulary.Complimenting this hilarious story are illustrations that demand the reader’s attention. At a first glance, the visuals appear gloomy due to the brown, green and grey tones. However, the expressions of Bat and Squirrel, along with the simple but easily misunderstood leaf note’s enable young readers to become enthralled in the world of Bat and Squirrel.Combining the two essential features of playing with language and reading illustrations, Good Night, Bat! Good Morning, Squirrel! is an essential read-aloud story for any early childhood classroom.Highly Recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Leah Den HaanLeah Den Haan is a grade one French immersion teacher with Edmonton Public Schools.

The Great Wall: Urca Cooling Layers in the Accreted NS Crust
No full textAccreting neutron stars host a number of astronomical observables which can be used to infer the properties of the underlying dense matter. These observables are sensitive to the heating and cooling processes taking place in the accreted neutron star (NS) crust. Within the past few years it has become apparent that electron-capture/beta-decay (urca) cycles can operate within the NS crust at high temperatures. Layers of nuclei undergoing urca cycling can create a thermal barrier, or Great Wall, between heating occurring deep in the crust and the regions above the urca layers. This paper briefly reviews the urca process and the implications for observables from accreting neutron stars
Un film peut en cacher un autre. À propos des différentes versions du Cuirassé Potemkine et de la réapparition de la mise en musique d’Edmund Meisel
Get PDFLe Cuirassé Potemkine d’Eisenstein connut, lors de sa distribution en Allemagne, un accompagnement musical dû au compositeur Edmund Meisel qui fit sensation et enthousiasma le réalisateur quand il put l’entendre. Cet accompagnement mythique, perdu puis retrouvé, donna lieu à des projections-concerts dans les dernières décennies. Cependant la découverte récente au Musée des techniques de Vienne de disques appartenant à la version sonorisée du film lors de sa ressortie en 1931 est un événement sans doute plus important : c’est Meisel lui-même qui reprit sa partition, introduisit des chœurs chantés par la troupe de Piscator, dans cette version « oubliée » du film dont on avait retranché les cartons pour en faire un film sonore. L’auteur retrace l’ensemble de la question des différentes versions du film et des différentes musiques qu’on lui adjoignit, question qui révèle bien d’autres enjeux que simplement musicaux : idéologiques, politiques, économiques.Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin, when shown in Germany, was accompanied by a musical composition by Edmund Meisel, which thrilled audiences and its director, upon hearing it. The rediscovery of this mythic accompaniment has given way to several silent film concerts over the past few decades. Yet, the recent unearthing at the Vienna Museum of Technology of records from the 1931 synchronized sound release is an even more important event. In this « forgotten » sound version of the film, whose subtitles had been removed, Meisel himself reworked his score and introduced choruses sung by the Piscator company. The author retraces the question of different film versions and their associated music, a question that reveals many other stakes beyond music : ideological, political, economic
La narrativa subversiva en la fotografía de moda de Steven Meisel
Get PDFEn esta tesis se aborda la obra fotográfica de Steven Meisel (1954–), caracterizada por un
posicionamiento activista dentro del mundo de la moda, en el que se inscribe, que lo hacen
singular. En la hipótesis principal se señala cómo un discurso subversivo como el suyo aúna
el enfoque comercial propio de la fotografía de moda y el artivismo. De este modo, en el
análisis en profundidad de su producción se incluye un cuestionamiento sobre los impulsos
que le han motivado a adoptar un discurso de este tipo, y se aborda comparativamente,
entre otras, obras de LaChapelle, Knight, Leibovitz, Weber, Toscani o Avedon. También
se alude a las teorías de Crane o Gans, que muestran la desarticulación de los modos de
producción cultural, al tiempo que se compara las posiciones sobre el concepto mismo de
arte en Krauss y Becker.
En el trabajo, estructurado en dos partes, se ha empleado una metodología inductiva y
correlacional que rastrea las correspondencias dadas entre las praxis plásticas revolucionarias
y la fotografía de moda en una horquilla cronológica que va desde el invento del medio
hasta la actualidad. Esto ha permitido identificar las connotaciones activistas, definir su
dimensión plástica y creativa, además de estudiar su influencia sociocultural. Como
conclusión, se afirma que su imaginario y estrategias creativas, cargados de crítica social,
cultural y política, rebasan la mera función comercial propia de la fotografía de moda para
establecerse en una alternativa creativa insurgente. Igualmente, el análisis semántico e
iconográfico de su producción destaca el modo en el que sus imágenes interaccionan con
conceptos y valores culturales diferentes según las temáticas que este autor trata.This thesis deals with the photographic work of Steven Meisel (1954–), characterized by
an activist stance in the fashion world, to which he belongs, making him unique. In the
main hypothesis, we signal how a subversive discourse as his own brings together the
commercial approach, characteristic of the fashion world, as well as artivism. This way, the
in-depth analysis of his production includes a reconsideration of the impulses that have
driven him to embrace such a discourse, and there is a comparative approach of, amongst
others, the works of LaChapelle, Knight, Leibovitz, Weber, Toscani or Avedon. There is also
an allusion to the theories of Crane or Gans, which show the dislocation of every mean of
cultural production, whilst comparing the stands about the very concept of art of Krauss
and Becker.
The paper, structured in two sections, uses an inductive and correlational methodology that
traces the correlations arising between the ground breaking aesthetic praxis and fashion
photography in the time spawn ranging from the invention of the medium up to present
days. This has made it possible to identify the activist connotations, defining its plastic
and creative dimension, as well as studying its sociocultural influence. To conclude, it’s
claimed that its imaginary and creative strategies, loaded with social, cultural, and political
criticism, surpass the mere commercial function intrinsic to fashion photography to stablish
themselves in an insurgent creative alternative. Likewise, the semantic and iconographic
analysis of its production outlines the way in which its images interact with concepts and
cultural values that vary depending on the topic discussed by the author
A Playground for Skopje: A Tension Between Freedom and Constraints
No full textThe graduation project is a playground in and around the former Post Office of Skopje which is composed of three main elements. Firstly, the terrain of the complex is divided into four main fields, which vary from their immediate surroundings towards the city. Furthermore, the element of the bridge, which grows with its tentacles into these different zones, is located on the axis from the city to the river and thus decentralises the existing building. Lastly, the circular Post Office plays the role of the cohesive host of all the elements, bringing with it the factor of time.Positions in PracticeArchitecture, Urbanism and Building Science
