The purpose of the creative project is to propose a revitalization strategy with emphasis on certain components for the central business district (CBD), of Hammond, Indiana.In order to properly assess the condition of the CBD, an historic overview of the CBD's development provide insights into how the area has developed into its present physical state. Further information is gained by looking at the density of building cover in the CBD, mapping the change over a 95 year period. A detailed survey of the present status of the CBD is conducted to assess the present assets and liabilities within the area.The revitalization strategy itself focuses on tying the CBD together, using abandoned railroad right-of-way in the center of the area as a connecting link between what now is two physically separated sectors of the CBD. The strategy is formulated in order to take advantage of all potential opportunities already existing within the CBD.The future of the Hammond CBD is found to rest in the maintenance and preservation of its historic resources, as well as an innovative strategy to take the best advantage of present opportunities. / Department of Urban Planning

Denna uppsats behandlar ämnet gospelackompanjemang på kyrkorgel.Oavsett erfarenhet av gospelmusik eller av orgelspel så är det här en kombination somväcker många frågor. Syftet med denna studie är att överbrygga glappet mellangospelmusiken och annan gudstjänstmusik i den svenskkyrkliga kontexten. Den handlarom hur man rent praktiskt kan göra för att lyckas med sitt spel i denna genre.Undersökningen behandlar såväl olika typer av orglar som sätt att registrera, arrangera,artikulera och rytmisera. Studiens resultat påvisar att en av de viktigaste aspekterna för ettrytmiskt spel handlar om att spela tonerna så friliggande, eller stackato, som möjligt.Registreringen behöver vara skarp med genomträngande rörverk. Pedalstämman behöverstabila rytmer med betoning på första taktslaget. Undersökningen gör det möjligt att mermedvetet ta sig an olika delar av gospelrepertoaren utan att vara beroende av enackompanjemangsgrupp. / <p>J S Bach (1685-1750)Trés vitement ur fantasia in G, BWV 572</p><p>Mary Mary m fl.

Early antebellum defenders of slavery acknowledged that slavery created problems for southern society. They contended, however, that slave society was better and more natural than other forms of social organization. Thomas R. Dew, William Harper, and James Henry Hammond each expressed a social philosophy in which slavery had a crucial role in preserving social order. They argued from the basis of social organicism, the idea that society should have an elite that controlled the masses. For all three men, slavery represented a system of order that helped balance the dangers of democracy. Significantly, however, all three men recognized that the slave system was not perfect, and despite their defense of slavery, argued that it was a human institution and therefore corruptible.
