...On Monday, September 25, 2017 at 7:30 pm I attended a performance of The University of Kansas Wind Ensemble, conducted by the KU director of bands, Paul Popiel,. This wind ensemble is one of the best in the nation and has produced five CD’s. (1) That being said, it is not surprising that this performance is but one in a succession which culminates in a final performance at Carnegie Hall in New York City. The Kansas Wind Ensemble has 71 top players from the following instrument families: woodwind, brass, and percussion. Given such a narrow but diverse group of instruments, I found it difficult to form any preconceived general ideas about what to expect of the music. That is how the music would physically and mentally affect me. I did...

...Music, Drama and Dance Chinese Music Chinese music has a very long history. In the primitive society, about four to five thousand years ago, dances and songs had already occurred. This can be prove by a excavated cultural relic - an egg-shaped wind instrument called Xun (ocarina) which made of pottery clay with six holes which believed it is from the Neolithic Stone Age. The evolution of musical culture in Chinese history was begun to develop rapidly and successfully in the Zhou Dynasty (11th century-256 B.C.). A large number of orchestras or ensembles started to occur during that time. Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.) was the most influential time in terms of musical culture. It had viewed as one of the best in the world and greatly influence on the development of music in other countries such as Korea and Japan. In general, there are five categories for Chinese music and each of the categories has various types, styles and forms which they are are song, ballad-singing music, Chinese Opera music, instrumental music and dancing-and-singing music. Song can also be divided into two categories which are ancient art songs and folk songs. Folk songs can be subdivided into mountain airs, labor songs, epic songs, songs with multiple sounds of voices, and ditties. In addition, due to the different regions with different national minorities, the mountain sough could be so different in style. There are many different types and styles in the musical cultural in China. Another good example...

...Dirty Bomb detonates at the Mall of America Robert Capponi HSM320 Erik Stone 16 November 2015 Dirty Bomb detonates at the Mall of America A radiological dispersion device (dirty bomb) has been detonated in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota on the day after Thanksgiving which is known as “Black Friday”. Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year and malls and shopping centers all over the country are severely crowed with people taking advantage of sales and special offers on merchandize for the holiday season. A dirty bomb is a very effective terror weapon because it combines the mass lethality of an explosive device, plus exposure to radiation; this device causes mass fear and panic in a population and could have a serious effect on the nearby area and environment. A dirty bomb is a type of radiological dispersion device (RDD) which combines some type of explosive combined with some type of radioactive material. The explosive element of a dirty bomb will produce the most amount of damage and causalities depending on the amount and type of explosive material and shrapnel used. There is usually not enough radiation to kill or cause severe illness depending on the radioactive material; the type of radiation that is used and the amount of exposure to the victims. Depending the situation though a dirty bomb can cause a great deal of panic, fear and chaos, including contamination of buildings and property. ...

...“Discuss the circumstances that led to Arnold Schoenberg’s revolutionary break with tonality. Address the musical context in which Schoenberg was working. Give an account of the break itself through relevant examples, and discuss some of the compositional problems Schoenberg encountered and his solutions to them.” Jordan Roche Perhaps the single most influential composer of the 20th century, Arnold Schoenberg was born into a modest, lower middle-class Jewish family in Vienna on September 13, 1874. Though his mother was a piano teacher, for the most part he taught himself music and only took counterpoint lessons with the composer Alexander von Zemlinsky. As a young adult, he made a living primarily by orchestrating operettas while composing his own works. During this early part of his career, his works were a fusion of the divergent styles of Brahms and Wagner, and he gained the support of both Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler. Though Strauss would later denounce Schoenberg's music, Mahler took him under his wing and continued to support him. This essay will cover Schoenberg’s break from tonality from a musical perspective, the problems he faced with this new harmonic language, and his solutions to them. Schoenberg was in his mid-thirty’s when he made the break from tonality. This means there is a time period of about 15 years where he explored, thought about and expanded his relationship with tonality. As previously mentioned, Schoenberg was influenced by Gustav Mahler...

...Next Century Challenges: Mobile Networking for “Smart Dust” J. M. Kahn, R. H. Katz (ACM Fellow), K. S. J. Pister Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of California, Berkeley {jmk, randy, pister}@eecs.berkeley.edu Abstract Large-scale networks of wireless sensors are becoming an active topic of research. Advances in hardware technology and engineering design have led to dramatic reductions in size, power consumption and cost for digital circuitry, wireless communications and Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS). This has enabled very compact, autonomous and mobile nodes, each containing one or more sensors, computation and communication capabilities, and a power supply. The missing ingredient is the networking and applications layers needed to harness this revolutionary capability into a complete system. We review the key elements of the emergent technology of “Smart Dust” and outline the research challenges they present to the mobile networking and systems community, which must provide coherent connectivity to large numbers of mobile network nodes co-located within a small volume. “Smart Dust.” It is certainly within the realm of possibility that future prototypes of Smart Dust could be small enough to remain suspended in air, buoyed by air currents, sensing and communicating for hours or days on end. At least one popular science fiction book has articulated just such a vision [12]. In this paper, we are concerned with the networking and...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Rock Music in the Philippines is performance arts composed in various genre and styles. The rock music of the Philippines is a mixture of indigenous foreign countries. The United States occupied the Islands in 1898 until 1946, and introduced American blues folk music, Rock &Blues, and rock and roll became popular. In the late 1950s, native performers adapted Tagalog lyrics for North American rock and roll music, resulting in the seminal origins of Philippine rock. The most notable achievement in Philippine rock of the 1960s was the hit song "Killer Joe," which propelled the group "Rocky Fellers" which reached number sixteen on the American radio charts. Up until the 1970s, popular rock musicians began writing and producing in English. In the early 1970s, rock music began to be written using local languages, with bands like the Juan Dela Cruz Band being among the first popular bands to do so. Mixing tagalog, and English lyrics.
