Episode 11 of Trade-offs, a series in economic education for nine to thirteen year-olds that consists of fifteen 20-minute television/film programs and related materials. Using dramatizations and special visuals, the series considers fundamental economic problems relevant to everyday life. In its first year, Trade-offs was used by approximately 500,000 students and their teachers in about 25.000 fifth and sixth grade classrooms. This more than quadrupled the amount of teaching of economics as a subject. Trade-offs was produced under the direction of AIT by the Educational Film Center (North Spring-field. Virginia), The Ontario Educational Communications Authority, and public television station KERA, Dallas. Programs were available on film, videocassette, and broadcast videotape. Trade-offs was developed cooperatively by the Joint Council on Economic Education, the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education, the Agency for Instructional Television, and a consortium fifty-three state and provincial education and broadcasting agencies.

Stresses today's need for foreign language instruction to help foster international cooperation and understanding. Learning of a foreign language by elementary school children by the oral-aural method, before learning to read or write the language is suggested as a valuable teaching technique. Television's contribution to a nonprofessionally trained language teacher in both the teachers' own preparation and the teaching of the class is cited. Specially made films with foreign language narrations can be used to give a link between a language and the culture from which is developed. Language laboratories are indicated as means for allowing students more practice in listening and speaking the language than do conventional techniques.

Video bio of Tom Carnegie, inducted to Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2007.
Producer: Paul Lennon;
Post-Production: DreamVision Media Partners;
Born in Norwalk, Connecticut, as Carl Kenagy, he moved with his family to Missouri, where his interest in sports shifted to announcing after he was stricken with polio. His radio career began in 1942 at WOWO-AM/FM in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he took the name Tom Carnegie. Three years later, Carnegie moved to Indianapolis and became sports director at WIRE-AM. While there he met Indianapolis Motor Speedway owner Tony Hulman, who hired Carnegie as the announcer for the track’s public system. Carnegie eventually became one of the track’s most recognized icons as he called out his familiar “Heeeeez-on-it!” at the beginning of each qualifying run. He later moved to WFBM-FM/TV (now WRTV-TV) as a sportscaster and remained there for three decades. He retired from WRTV-TV in 1985 but continued working at the Speedway until 2006. Carnegie died Feb. 11, 2011.

“The shot that was heard around the world for people with disabilities,” is how one of Tom Olin’s photographic images has been described. As part of the ADA at 25 Legacy Tour, the Monroe County History Center in Bloomington, Indiana hosted an exhibit of Tom Olin’s work. On June 19, 2015, Tom gave a public talk in association with the exhibition. He was also present as the driver of the touring ADA Legacy bus. It made Indiana stops in Bloomington, Monticello, and Indianapolis during a national tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Tom has become widely known for the powerful advocacy of his photography focusing on the disability rights movement. In this videotaped talk, he discusses how he became involved in documenting the struggle for the rights of people with disabilities, and provides information about photographs in the exhibit.
Some of the iconic photographs he discusses include images of the event now referred to as the Capitol Crawl. Depicting the landmark protest where people got out of their wheelchairs to ascend the steps of the U.S. Capitol building, it became “the shot that was heard around the world.” The action on March 12, 1990 was initiated by the activist organization ADAPT (Americans Disabled for Accessible Public Transit ). Tom identifies disability leaders at the protest and points out that his eight-year-old niece, Jennifer Keelan, is among those shown crawling up the steps. Tom explains that even though the “Crawl” took place just a few months before the ADA was passed into law, there were numerous attempts being made to weaken its provisions. “In Congress, you had the Senate and the House conferring on the bill that was to be. And they had all these different ways of how they thought the bill should look like.”
Tom also describes photographs in the exhibit documenting other ADAPT actions in Memphis and at the federal building in Atlanta. It’s up to us, he says, to make sure the work of grassroots activists continues. “I see things happening. You know, I'm really impressed with a lot of young people.”

Explains contrast as opposed to repetition or variation. Defines tonal contrast as modulation or change of tonality and harmonic contrast, or the off-setting of plain harmony by color-harmony. Illustrates with a selection from a Bach cantata. (WMSB-TV) Kinescope.
Again Dr. Jones uses Beethoven’s music as an illustration, explaining the composer’s humorous interplay of major and minor tonalities more fully. He also treats briefly the traditional tonal systems from the time of Wagner to the emergence of new tonal arrangements.
The psychological effects of various tonal patterns are demonstrated in the discussion of this topic. Professor Jones illustrates the varying characters or “atmosphere” of melodies based on scales and modes of different character.
In this program Professor Woodworth explains the concepts of tonality (the musical key) and modulation (a shift in key) and their place in composing music. The relations between keys, and the use a composer makes of these relations is an element which must be understood if the symphony is to be fully appreciated. The program ends with a comparison of Haydn and Mozart, showing how their musical styles developed, and giving examples of the work of each.

Many researchers in a wide variety of disciplines outside of computer science are developing software tools as part of their research agenda. The current academic-publishing climate often then requires researchers to publish separate articles on their software tools, treating the tools as byproducts rather than primary research outputs. This presentation introduces Design Based History Research (DBHR) as a methodological bridge between the practices of digital-history tool design, the use of digital methods to create historical argumentation, and social-science-inspired methodological innovation. Design Based Research (DBR) is an approach to studying learning theory that asks researchers to integrate a theory into a design, implement the design, and then study the design as a way of modifying both the theory and the design that aims to reify it. DBHR is an adaptation of the DBR approach that seeks to center software tools as a primary research product by offering a template for research that is rooted in the concurrent and intertwined development of historical theory, digital-history tools, and collaborative historical methods.
This project employs text annotations on recordings of conversations of heritage Spanish speakers (HSSs) of Mexican descent that reside in Indiana to create a data visualization of the topics that promote code-switching between Spanish and English. The methodology includes conducting recorded conversations of bilingual speakers talking to a bilingual friend or a family member about Mexican-American culture. Participants were asked to speak as naturalistically as possible. The tools for the text analysis of the present study include ELAN (Sloetjes & Wittenburg, 2008) to create annotations and Voyant (Sinclair & Rockwell, 2016) to create text visualizations.
Text analysis of topics that promote more use of code-switching and the direction of the switch, Spanish to English or English to Spanish, can be useful to design data collection tasks for studies on Hispanic linguistics and bilingual heritage speakers’ culture. Additionally, the present study helps document the current state of code-switching according to cultural topics. To my knowledge, there are no existing analyses that document the topics that promote code-switching, nor the directions of the language switch using digital humanities tools to analyze text annotations of sociolinguistics interviews, so this study offers a viable option to present these types of information.
Aby Warburg’s last and most ambitious project, the Atlas Mnemosyne – conceived in 1926 and truncated three years later by Warburg’s sudden death – consists of a series of large black panels, on which are attached black-and-white photographs of paintings, sculptures, tarot cards, stamps, coins, and other types of images. Its thousand images are unified by Warburg’s greatest conceptual creation: the idea of the Pathosformel, or formula for the expression of extreme passion. In this talk, the reflection on the Pathosformel will take the unusual form of an attempt at “operationalizing” the concept, transforming it into a series of quantitative operations. The resulting model is then used to analyze the evidence assembled by Warburg in Mnemosyne, and to gain a new understanding of how extreme emotional states are represented in painting.

Visual inscriptions have long been recognized as a valuable knowledge discovery and communication device in scientific research. Studies in science and technology have shown that visualization serves an epistemic role as “immutable mobiles” that transmit scientific findings and ideas across contexts, and can be a key indicator for the disciplinarity and evolution of scientific fields. In the digital humanities (DH) domain, despite the few empirical studies examining the use patterns of visual inscriptions in the field, we have not known much about the functions of visual languages in DH scholarship, especially how they contribute to creating dynamic scholarly accounts, facilitate arguments, and communicate ideas. This collaborative project addresses this gap and contributes to a better empirical understanding of visual languages in DH with three main research outcomes: (1) an open dataset of DH visual inscriptions and their narrative contexts drawn from full-text publications in 15 DH journals from 1986 to 2023; (2) an interactive dashboard demonstrating the evolution of visual key concepts and terms in DH; and (3) an empirical case study utilizing the dataset to analyze narrative functions of visual inscriptions in DH scholarship.

People sometimes asked sportswriter Tracy Dodds how she could cover sports if she’d never been an athlete.
"How can you cover a murder trial if you've never murdered anybody?" she replied.
Often faced with sexism and hostility, Dodds carried her wit, humor and gumption with her through a long and lucrative career in sports journalism. One of the first women to cover sports for a major publication, Dodds knew she was a trailblazer. It wasn't until later that she realized she'd helped pave the way for women in journalism.
The myriad sports Dodds has covered include Big Ten football and basketball, hockey, auto-racing, boxing, swimming and diving. In 1984, 1988 and 1996, she was an on-site reporter and editor at the Olympics.
In 1988, she helped found the Association for Women in Sports Media, later serving as its national president. She was the first elected female president of the Associated Press Sports Editors. In 2014, she became the first woman to be inducted into the Indiana Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association Hall of Fame.
Amidst those incredible honors, the seemingly insignificant successes stand out, too. Dodds recalled the day she received a letter from a reader that began,"Dear Mr. Dodds, You're an idiot."
Elated, Dodds shared the letter with coworkers.
"He was calling me an idiot solely on the quality of my writing," Dodds said. "Not because I was a woman."
Before graduating from IU in 1973 with a degree in journalism and political science, Dodds got her start at the Bloomington Herald-Telephone, now the Herald-Times, under the mentorship of sports editor Bob Hammel.
In 1974, she was hired as a sportswriter for the Milwaukee Journal. It was an uphill battle. Her first week, the Journal's assistant sports editor Bill Dwyre told her she never should have been hired.
Seven years later, Dwyre would write her a glowing farewell column as she moved on to the Houston Post.
At the Post, Dodds was the only female conference columnist, covering the now-defunct Southwest Conference. Less than two years later, Dwyre would call her and offer her a coveted position at the Los Angeles Times.
Dodds' years at the L.A. Times would have her covering UCLA and the Kings.
"I came back from the '88 Olympics, jet-lagged on no sleep, and covered Wayne Gretzky's first game with the Kings," she recalled.
After many years as a writer, Dodds moved into sports editing. She served as assistant sports editor at the L.A. Daily News, assistant sports editor at the Orange County Register, sports editor at the Austin (Texas) American-Statesman and associate sports editor at the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"There weren't a lot of women in sports writing then, but there were very few women in sports editing," she recalled.
Upon leaving the Plain Dealer, Dodds returned to Indiana to write for The Indianapolis Star before moving home to Lafayette to be closer to family and to start her next career. She's now director of grants at the YWCA of Greater Lafayette, where she helps further the organization's mission of eliminating racism and empowering women.
"Grants fund the mission," Dodds said. "That gives me a reason to get up in the morning and get to the office, where I work with some amazing women doing amazing service."
George Meany, President of the AFL-CIO, is interviewed on this program by Dr. John Schwarzwalder, general manager of KTCA-TV, St. Paul. Mr. Meany talks of the fight to make labor recognized by management as an entity, worthy of consideration. Once this was accomplished, two of the chief aims of trade unionism were to encourage and work for greater free public education, and to raise the standard of living in the United States. There is still much to be done in the area of family problems, but first and foremost, labor’s most important task is to get its workers and their children a fair share, Mr. Meany says. On automation, Mr. Meany states that the trade union movement wholeheartedly accepts the validity of the attempt to lighten the burden of human labor. Labor, however, claims it is necessary that the economy expand sufficiently to offset the resulting unemployment caused by automation. If the economy does not sufficiently expand, Mr. Meany says a shorter work week is the only answer to the labor problems posed by automation. He considers the most important piece of labor legislation in the past fifty years was the Wagner Act of 1935, which gave labor the right to organize. He adds that he considers the Taft-Hartley legislation the most damaging piece of labor legislation. Is American labor pricing itself out of the world market? Mr. Meany says labor must bring the rest of the world up to the standards of the United States rather than cut American standards down to those of the rest of the world.

The process of converting the digitized MDPI media into something that can be used for web delivery is conceptually simple: transcode each one into derivatives and transfer them to the delivery system. However, like most things, the devil is in the details. Data corruption, tape latency, and managing large amounts of data are just a few of the problems which must be overcome.
This session will follow the steps that MDPI digital objects take during processing and explore the solutions used to create a system which must reliably process hundreds of hours of audio and video content daily.
In this presentation, Professor Jason Kelly discusses the necessity of reimagining scholarly collaboration and public scholarship in and for the Anthropocene.
