Popular music groups that played this music were The Righteous Brothers, The Rascals, The Box Tops, Mitch Ryder, Toney Joe White, and Roy Head” (Bogdanov, 8). “Deep Soul is gritty, funky soul music that borrows equally from the fervor of Southern gospel and hard-driving energy of R&B. It is distinguishable by its passionate, gospel tingled singer, punchy horns, chicken scratch guitars, and tight rhythm sections. It emerged in the 60s and reigned until the end of the decade” (Bogdanov, 9). Some of the artists that played this subgenre were Eddie Floyd, Wilson Pickett, Lee Dorsey, James Carr, James Brown, Otis Redding, and Aaron Neville” (Leggett). “Memphis Soul is little more stylish and more uptown compared to Southern or Deep soul. It’s stylish and funky, classy but soulful. One of the most quintessential artists is Al Green. His chief architect, Willie Mitchell, developed the sound in the 60s” (Bogdanov, 9). “Pop-Soul is so music that has been polished slightly and given a commercially viable, crossover production.

...1960’s were the most progressive era of United States history, from the civil rights movement to the new wave of feminism, the 60’s were one of the most influential and memorable era because of this. One of the most famous of these social movements was the anti-war movement brought by the unpopular Vietnam War. One of the most notorious groups were the Chicago Seven called that because of the seven activists sentenced to jail for protesting. The Chicago Seven took a stand against the Vietnam War and the government by inciting protests and spreading ideals of nonviolence, and these actions resulted in increased exposure of the unpopular Vietnam War and the rise of hippie movement and also the division of opinion in American society. During the middle of the 1960’s the United States of were experiencing social changes due to the Civil Rights movement. Many people who participated in the civil rights movement, also participated in the anti war movement. Many older activists also began advocating for the antiwar movement helped younger leaders plan large protests.

...Title: Heart Rate Design Lab Check Required Criteria for Lab D_____DCP ______ CE_______ DESIGN ASPECT 1: DEFINING THE PROBLEM AND SELECTING VARIABLES Background Information: The heart is a vital organ made of cardiac muscle that pumps blood throughout the body. Heart rate is associated with the contraction of the different chambers of the heart, and is considered myogenic. As a result, the heart beat is controlled independently of the central nervous system and is instead controlled by the pacemaker, also known as the Sino arterial node. The node sends signals through nerves in the heart to other nodes such as the AV or atrio-ventricular node and these result in the contraction of the chambers (Copeland, 1991). Heart rate is the number of heart beats per unit of time, typically expressed in beats per minute or bpm. The average heart rate at rest under normal conditions of adolescents and adults is 63.3 bpm ± 13.1 bpm, with variability of 3.2 bpm ± 2.1 (Leschka, 2006). Other factors also have an influence on the heart beat and heart rate such as the medulla of the brain of the hormone adrenaline. External stimuli or external factors also result in alterations of the heart rate. These include physical and emotional factors. One type of external stimuli that is shown to have effects on the heart rate is sound, specifically music. Music is currently being considered to be used as therapy for coronary conditions as well as on anxiety (Smolen et al,...

...pickups on a solid block of pine and dubbed his creation, “the Log” (Smithsonian). This became the first prototype for a solid body, electric guitar. As skilled musicians, such as Muddy Waters, began exploring the tonal and harmonic possibilities of this new instrument, it took over numerous different music styles over the course of several decades. In light of the perpetual evolution of human expression, the electric guitar has greatly influenced the progression of music from jazz, to blues, and ultimately rock and roll. Even before the electric guitar could make an impact on music, the electrical amplifier had to be invented. Developed during the 30’s and 40’s, rudimentary amplifiers combined radio technology and vacuum tubes to amplify sound. Leo Fender introduced small, wooden, six to fourteen watt amplifiers in the early 40’s. Later, he developed a more powerful forty watt unit, his Dual Professional twin speaker model, in 1946 (Millard 131). For the first time, guitarists could play loud and blare awe-inspiring solos with varying tones and timbres. Popularized by Hawaiian music, amplifiers encouraged musical experimentation and enabled musicians to ascend to new genres in music. In the 1960s, guitarists discovered that distortion could be produced by deliberately overloading their amps. The Kinks guitarist Dave Davies produced early distortion effects by connecting the output of one amplifier into the input of another (Piccola). Through the process of innovation and experimentation...

...Andrew Mendez Professor Arrowsmith HIST-112 December 2, 2013 The Fight for Equality In the 1950's and 1960's there was many inequalities that really held back many people from especially the African Americans to have the right of being just like everyone else. But as well all know the white refused to give those type of right to them. So this is when the African Americans would start to take a stand for one another in a Civil Rights Movement lead by many African American activists such as Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Eisenhower. These Americans stood up for what they knew was right not only for them but fir the good of their people. Martin Luther King Jr. immediate purpose was to convince Americans across the country to embrace racial equality and to further strengthen the resolve of those already involved in the Civil Rights Movement. Audiences could really embrace these words that Dr. King was saying in his "I Have A Dream" speech. Though audiences' purposes are not as easily summarized to the fact of the racial inequality towards the whites and African Americans. Some at the time may have sought to be inspired by Dr. King. Opponents to racial equality who heard his speech may have listened for the purpose of seeking to find ways to further argue against racial equality. Audiences since then may have used Dr. King's speech to educate or to advocate for other social justice issues. Eisenhower also having to do with acting to those same ideas of inequality...

...existed in American history, yet people know so little about them. Hopefully by giving you background information and the some history, you will develop a better understanding of the Klan. When the Ku Klux Klan began they were not always known as the Ku Klux Klan. When they were founded in 1866 they created their name off of the Greek word “kyklos”, meaning circle. They called themselves the KuKlux clan which meant circle of brother. They later changed their name again, to the name they still use to Ku Klux Klan. The Ku Klux Klan was America’s first real terrorist group following the Civil War. The Ku Klux Klan had three very distinct movements the first from 1865-1875, the second 1915-1944, and the third movement occurred during the 1950’s and 60’s. The first movement by the Klan began around 1866 in Pulaski, Tennessee, what sparked this first movement was the rise in African American rights and they wanted to reestablish white supremacy. The Klan was founded by Confederate Civil War veterans General Nathan Bedford, Captain John C. Lester, Major James R. Crowe, John D. Kennedy, Calvin Jones, Richard R. Reed, and Frank O. McCord. Not too long after the Klan’s inception they started to hold conventions and they established themselves as an “Invisible Empire of the South”. At one of those conventions Nathan Bedford; a...

...Histology of the Heart The human heart is both as complex as it is simple in the design of the components of this critical organ that is essential to life. The human heart can be summarized as simply “a pump” to move our body’s blood and all its cellular components throughout our circulatory system. It is, however, the structure of the heart that makes it a marvel of design. The heart must continue to beat throughout the lifespan of the organism it serves to sustain life. The heart is positioned in the thoracic cavity between the lungs, posterior to the sternum, and is connected to our circulatory system by the superior vena cava and the aorta. Both of these great vessels serve to provide blood to the peripherals of our body and to the heart itself. The heart is divided into four chambers: the left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle and right ventricle. The atria are position superior to the ventricle and serve as a primary pump and holding chamber for blood before it enters the ventricle to be pumped to its respective destination. The human heart begins to beat, on average, at 21 days after conception and is one of the first functioning organs of the human embryo. The average heart in an adult human weighs approximately 300 grams and resembles the size of the individuals closed fist (Tortora, G.J. 2006). The heart is enclosed in a fibrous protective sac called the pericardium. The pericardium is composed of two layers; the outermost layer being dense connective...

...The Transformation of Hip-Hop African American playwrights are writing about difficult topics that affect the hip-hop generation. In this paper, I will focus on the transformation of hip –hop through theatre in the work of Robert Alexander, A Preface to the Alien Garden, and the work of Kamilla Forbes, A Rhyme Deferred. These playwrights reflect the evolution and different elements of the hip-hop culture. There are many similarities and differences between them regarding themes, intent, definition of hip hop generation and black theatre, the impact each play has on the hip-hop generation, and the historical context of each play. Both playwrights do an amazing reflecting an accurate depiction of the hip-hop generation, which embodies gangster rap, regular hip-hop music, dance, and music. Kamilla Forbes is an actress, director, and playwright who wrote and directed Rhyme Deferred. She is the Founding Artistic Director of the Hip Hop Theatre Junction where she focuses on producing and creating works reflecting the hip-hop generation. Her thoughts and passion for hip hop and theatre and the idea that the new hip hop generation was not reflected through theatre, sparked her to began her story and write the play Rhyme Deferred. This highly energetic play engages the audience through dance and breaking down the “third wall” between the actors and the audience. Rhyme Deferred is the story of two brothers, both rappers. The older brother, Kain, is a mainstream rapper and becomes successful...

...Mehtab S. Dhaliwal Georgia M. Roberts B CUSP 117D 03 March 2012 “…I feel like murder but hip-hop you saved me…” (Lupe Fiasco) But what is Hip Hop? No one really has a concrete classification for this term, though many have their own opinions on what the culture of Hip Hop is. Some view the culture of Hip Hop as a door into a different culture, something one has never experienced first hand. While others claim that “…hip hop is primarily responsible for every decline and crisis world-wide except the war in Iraq and global warming…” (Rose) because of the negative influences it has on many people. Numerous parents believe their children shouldn’t be listening to this type of music due to the explicit lyrics. There are countless opinions of what Hip Hop means, but no one really converses about one actual definition. To me, Hip Hop is a way for people to express their opinions and experiences within their music. Hip Hop is distorted throughout history. It originated in the streets of New York City during the late 60’s early 70’s, specifically in the Bronx. Back then it was just a style of poetry, like a type of freestyle that young black men performed. Quickly this style started to become popular and the black youth began “…engaging in verbal duels with contenders like a linguistic match…” (Gates). Due to the geographic location of this formation of Hip Hop, it is considered a “black art form”. Other ethnicities such as the Caribbean and Latin peoples probably had...
