perfectly, but there were issues surfacing. There wasn’t enough cabins to house everyone resulting in overcrowding. The cabins were also segregated by gender so married couples were forced to live apart. Jones’ voice was always broadcasted through a loudspeaker, day and night. Many people wanted out but said nothing of it because they knew they would get punished. There is also the fact that people surrounded the town with guns. The roommate of a survivor (Veron) tried to escape and got…

“The Tiger With No Eyes” We had made a complete stop in front of Halawa District Park Gym. The Lawakua Kajukenbo Club students unloaded the bus of goodies: variety boxes of Lays chips and granola bars, overly-used sparring equipment, bags of slightly deflated red kicking shields with black straps, tables and tent poles. I pulled my two scrawny arms around a box of Quaker Oats granola bars and followed the pack. As my friends and I turned the corner, the rest of the group formed a home base…

In the time since its discovery, many artists have interpreted Homer’s story of Achilles’ shield. They have created and shared paintings and poems, each showing a slightly different version of the famous piece of metal. One artist who describes the shield of Achilles is the poet W. H. Auden. His rendition of the shield differs markedly from Homer’s original. Homer’s depiction of the ancient Greek world on the shield is a microcosm of humanity, displaying both peace and conflict enveloped by…

The tones go off, again. This was the fourth time in the last six hours. A grumble of incomprehensible words come from the loudspeaker as we shuffle our way to the ambulance.

Although I received my EMT-B certification within the year, this was my first experience with such an event. As we screeched to a halt I froze…

You walk down the Haymarket area you hear jazz music coming from the business. You go to a game in Memorial Stadium classic rock songs are coming through the loudspeakers. When you go to the gym to work out a rap song is blaring out of the speakers. Music is constantly around us. When people hear a song images pop into their heads. Music plays a key role in the sense of place. The articles Place or Space and Sacred Spaces and Tourist Places, the way images are presented, and the things I learned…

The sound was dispersed throughout the cinema, controlled by an engineer using 54 loudspeakers. The film “This Is Cinerama” in 1952, reappeared with using discrete seven-channel sound, and the race to develop other surround sound methods took off. Since the creation of surround sound it has evolved. Such as the amount of speakers needed…

It can be perceived that empathy to the environment and people can be related to buildings or a city. One of the examples that can be considered as key embodiment of such empathy is in downtown Los Angeles architected by Frank O. Gehry, i.e., the Walt Disney Concert Hall. An intelligent strategy of inclusiveness and hybridization is led by the micro and macro design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall. With its skyscrapers stretching to the side and with the central business district, on the edge…
