Inventions That Have Enhanced My Life: The Life and Times of Barbara

From dolls with eyes that open and close to teddy bears, from ice skating to roller blading, from card games to crayons and colouring, from the ferris wheel and carousel to cracker jacks, from the sewing machine to the zipper, from candy and ice cream to candy floss, from refrigeration to air conditioning, from early cameras to digital cameras, from washing machines to dishwashers, from a sweeping machine to a bagless vacuum cleaner, from typewriters to computers, from quill pens to gel pens, from cloth diapers to disposable diapers, from paper drinking straws to plastic straws, from horse-drawn vehicles to gasoline-driven cars, from chocolates to life savers, there are so many things that have changed our lives. Each invention begins with an idea, often based on a desire for something better. Even a simple band-aid has an interesting history.

Entertainment That I Have Enjoyed: The Life and Times of Barbara

Television was still in its infancy when I entered this world and most of the shows were in black and white. It wasn't until I was in high school that most of the programming was in full colour. I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver, Lone Ranger, Gunsmoke were enjoyable to watch and get involved in the entertainment. The opportunity to go to the movies was rare and therefore it was a big event during Grade 12 for a group of us to go to the theatre to see Gone With the Wind based on the novel by Margaret Mitchell which we had read earlier in the year. Hawaii Five-O, The Bionic Man and Wonder Woman were fantasies to enjoy. The movie Fiddler on the Roof has special meaning to me as it was the night I fell in love with Harry, my husband of the past 40 years. Canada's Wonderland was a great place to take our boys; Michael was the eager one to go on all the thrilling roller coasters, while Zane was a little more laid back. Harry and I had seasons' tickets for several years to Theatre Aquarius, an incentive for us to spend time together on a regular basis without the children and the everyday cares of life. Tall Ships were in Port Colborne in 2001 and Harry and I took our daughter Annette with us for a day on the waterfront. It is my belief that as life continues on I must nourish and stimulate my mind on a daily basis, always looking for ways to grow and mature. I began taking courses in 2005, beginning with Evelyn Wood's Memory Dynamics where I learned techniques for remembering details. The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and The Eighth Habit by Steven Covey were more food for the mind. I continue to pursue my interests in history, art, geology, architecture, photography and astronomy. I joined a women's Book Club in 2006 and have had the opportunity to read several classics, such as War and Peace and Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, as well as more current books. Since I had never been exposed to this type of reading, there were many ideas that I followed up with research on the internet. Sea Biscuit and Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand and Born to Run by Christopher McDougall were enjoyable books to read and learn from.

Our trip to the East Coast of Canada in June 2009 started at the Halifax Airport where Harold and Diane Miller met us to take us on a tour of Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island on the Cabot Trail and Cape Breton Highlands National Park. We spent an enjoyable day in Baddeck, Nova Scotia to see the Alexander Graham Bell Museum and to watch an air show commemorating the 100th anniversary of flight. We travelled to Pictou where we took the ferry to Prince Edward Island, had a tour of Charlottetown, and the next day travelled the country roads to the Green Gable Shore to see the area that Lucy Maud Montgomery made famous in her book Anne of Green Gables. That evening we had tickets for Anne the Musical which we thoroughly enjoyed. We continued our journey through the quaint villages of P.E.I. to Summerside, then on to Gateway Village at the base of the Confederation Bridge which we drove across into New Brunswick for a short drive back into Nova Scotia. We had time to see some of Amherst before night closed in. In 2002 we took a trip to Newfoundland and took in some of its beauty.

Barbara Pentland

Barbara Pentland

Timothy McGee; Sheila Eastman

University of Toronto Press
1983
pokkari
Barbara Pentland and her music have long been the centre of controversy. As a woman in what many saw as a man's field, her role as composer provoked negative reactions into the 1950s, and her music receives a wide range of responses to this day. Yet even her severest critics acknowledge the highly personal and impassioned quality of her compositions. This book looks at Pentland's life and career as she moves from her native Winnipeg to study in Montreal, Paris, and New York and at Tanglewood with Aaron Copland, intermittently returning to her home town and gradually becoming known as a performer and composer. The authors discuss various works including Studies in Line (19410, which was composed in a highly linear idiom and epitomized her early works; Sonata for Violin and Piano (1946), which was based on French-Canadian folk tunes and reflected Copland's abstractness and use of rhythm; and the highly tonal Symphony No. 2 (1950). Her visit to Europe in 1955 was the catalyst for a profound shift in her work from the techniques she had adapted from Copland and Hindemith to an elaboration of her own highly distinctive serialist technique. Since 1958, Pentland's output has been prodigious: fifty works all typified by a marvellously economical use of materials. Some of the most controversial are treatments of the words of modern writers and are inspired by Pentland's passionate concern about contemporary events. This volume includes a large number of musical examples from her work and photographs of the composer and her colleagues and interpreters.

With a career spanning more than forty years, Barbara Kopple (b. 1946) long ago established herself as one of the most prolific and award-winning American filmmakers of her generation. Her projects have ranged from labor union documentaries to fictional feature films to an educational series for kids on the Disney Channel. Through it all, Kopple has generously made herself available for a great many print and broadcast interviews. The most revealing and illuminating of these are brought together in this collection.Here, Kopple explains her near-constant struggles to raise money (usually while her films are already in production) and the hardships arising from throwing her own money into such projects. She makes clear the tensions between biases, objectivity, and fairness in her films. Her interviewers raise fundamental questions. What is the relationship between real people in documentaries and characters in fictional films? Why does she embrace a cinéma vérité style in some films but not others? Why does she seem to support gun ownership in Harlan County, U.S.A., only to take a decidedly more neutral view of the issue in her film Gun Fight?Kopple's concern for people facing crises is undeniable. So is the affection she has for her more famous subjects—Woody Allen playing a series of European jazz concerts, Gregory Peck on tour, and the Dixie Chicks losing a fan base but making a fresh start.

Barbara Stanwyck

Barbara Stanwyck

Dan Callahan

UNIVERSITY PRESS OF MISSISSIPPI
2023
pokkari
Barbara Stanwyck (1907–1990) rose from the ranks of chorus girl to become one of Hollywood's most talented leading women—and America's highest-paid woman in the mid-1940s. Shuttled among foster homes as a child, she took a number of low-wage jobs while she determinedly made the connections that landed her in successful Broadway productions. Stanwyck then acted in a stream of high-quality films from the 1930s through the 1950s. Directors such as Cecil B. DeMille, Fritz Lang, and Frank Capra treasured her particular magic. A four-time Academy Award nominee, winner of three Emmys and a Golden Globe, she was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Academy. Dan Callahan considers both Stanwyck's life and her art, exploring her seminal collaborations with Capra in such great films as Ladies of Leisure, The Miracle Woman, and The Bitter Tea of General Yen; her Pre-Code movies Night Nurse and Baby Face; and her classic roles in Stella Dallas, Remember the Night, The Lady Eve, and Double Indemnity. After making more than eighty films in Hollywood, she revived her career by turning to television, where her role in the 1960s series The Big Valley renewed her immense popularity. Callahan examines Stanwyck's career in relation to the directors she worked with and the genres she worked in, leading up to her late-career triumphs in two films directed by Douglas Sirk, All I Desire and There's Always Tomorrow, and two outrageous westerns, The Furies and Forty Guns. The book positions Stanwyck where she belongs—at the very top of her profession—and offers a close, sympathetic reading of her performances in all their range and complexity.
