BEN FORD: In the case of drilling, if the drill site is 10 acres or less, in that instance, even known sites could very well be destroyed or affected. FRAZIER: Ben Ford is an archaeology professor at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. In 2012, one of his students found at least 60 sites in the state had been damaged or destroyed by oil and gas development. These include burial mounds and villages likely to contain human remains. Around the country, the oil and gas boom is putting drilling rigs near historic villages and burial grounds but also in landscapes considered important to Native tribes. One recent example is the route of the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline, which ran through waters sacred to the Standing Rock Sioux.

It puts on exhibitions, workshops, plays on occasion and music events, music events above all. Entertainment Film Review Restaurant & Bar Review Showbiz What's On Home / Entertainment / What's On Chamber and jazz concerts at Technopolis June 5th, 2018 Maria Gregoriou Entertainment, What's On 0 Comments Chamber and jazz concerts at Technopolis a d f h k n q y Technopolis 20 Cultural Centre in Paphos is the centre of attention when it comes to a blend of cultural events. It puts on exhibitions, workshops, plays on occasion and music events, music events above all. This week the cultural centre will continue on its quest to bring some of the best musical performances on the island with a chamber music concert by musicians of the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra (CSO) on Saturday, followed by a jazz concert on Sunday. The chamber music concert, under the name Mozart and the 20th Century, promises to be one of the very best concerts the orchestra has ever been part of. What makes us so sure that it will truly be a concert to remember is that Jens George Bachman – Artistic Director and Chief Conductor of the CSO – will take to the piano while Wolfgang Schroeder will accompany him on violin. These two musicians will bring to life the works of two of the best-known composers of their respective timelines: from the second half of the 18th century and Austria, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and from the second half of the 20th and Estonia, Arvo Part. The evening will enchant us with Mozart's Violin sonata in E minor, K. 304 and the Violin sonata in A major, K. 305, while Part's Fratres for violin and piano and Spiegel im Spiegel (Mirror in Mirror) will be played. German-born Bachmann was appointed the Artistic Director and Chief Conductor of the CSO last year. Since then the orchestra's audience attendance has increased largely. He also contributes widely to the music education sector of the island, including projects with the National Youth Symphony Orchestra. Schroeder studied at the Mozarteum University and at the Mannes School of Music in New York. As soloist and chamber player, he has appeared in prestigious venues such as the Philharmonie in Berlin, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and the Athens Megaron. He has been the concertmaster of the CSO since 2005. On Sunday things will get bigger and start to look a lot more like summer, when the Jazzologia Cyprus Big Band will put on the first performance of the season in the outdoor venue. The Jazzologia Cyprus Big Band is a 19-piece jazz band established in October 2016 in Limassol by the renowned saxophonist Giorgos Krasidis. Krasidis studied jazz tenor saxophone performance at Berklee College of Music and classical saxophone performance at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

And nowhere was the enthusiasm more evident than in Pennsylvania, where at least seven Democratic women surged to primary victories this week, in districts that could help their party flip at least three House seats in November. A professor of sociology at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Ms. Boser spent years studying public policy, but she said her dismay over the election of President Trump drove her to get more involved in politics.

Ticks and Lyme disease: The problem 'no one's really doing anything about'
Another of the 2015 survey's authors, Indiana University professor Thomas Simmons, is collecting samples from public parks in and around Pittsburgh. He's had no trouble finding ticks there and preliminary data show they carry the Lyme-causing bacteria at rates comparable with the rest of the state. If those results bear out, that would deflate another common misconception: That people are safe from ticks in their own backyards.

He Powers the Wheeled Wonders Behind Hollywood's Hit Machin
He doesn't have any social media accounts. Or an email address. He doesn't care for it and doesn't need it. When people need to talk to David Haddad, they just call Chloe Burns in Pittsburgh. Haddad himself? He's in Los Angeles, we're told. Then, maybe, New York City, Atlanta or Detroit. And, oh yeah, he's scheduled until next year. But he “will think about it,” when we inquire about an interview. Son of David Sr., a Syrian immigrant who, in Pleasant Hills, Pennsylvania, in 1954 had a modest vision: to open a mom-and-pop service station. The Amoco he opened would eventually house a car wash and a tow truck operation. None of which explains how David Haddad is sitting on top of Haddad's Inc., a multistate corporation that's worked with more than 3,000 film and TV productions around the world. Until he left for Indiana University of Pennsylvania, the station was where he cut his teeth. After graduation? Back to the family business.

Once either Conor Lamb or Rick Saccone wins Tuesday's special election for Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District, it becomes anyone's guess whether the district at the center of the multimillion-dollar race will even exist by the May 15 primary. Two factors are at work, said political scientist David Chambers, an associate professor at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. "Everything was thrown into disarray by the controversy over the (congressional) maps," he said. "Nobody is sure what will happen, so the attitude is, 'We better play the game as we understand it.'"

We were on the trail of a golden-winged warbler fledgling, a black-bibbed songbird, which winters in South and Central America and spends its springs and summers here in Appalachia where it breeds, nests and raises its young. Larkin, professor of wildlife ecology and conservation at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and forest bird habitat coordinator for American Bird Conservancy, has tracked golden-winged warblers for years. And like many others, he has witnessed the bird's decline, which is among the steepest of any songbird in the last 45 years.
