...The two major instruments heard in this piece are of course the trumpet, played by Miles Davis and Bill Evans on the piano. Also making an appearance on this song are "Cannonball" Adderley the alto saxophonist and James Cobb on the drums. Although not danceable, this song sets a nice, relaxing tone that soothes every part of your body throughout its long lasting nine and a half minutes. This song is taken from the album "Kind of Blue" mentioned earlier. Towards the end of the tune I noticed that he began to play a familiar tune comforting to the ear. As we move on the next tune is short, compared to the others, and goes by the title of Round Midnight. It begins with a very slow, mellow, and mysterious sound and you may notice that throughout the song the sound continues to be very serious and dangerously romantic. This piece was taken from the album title Round About Midnight and features John Coltrane as the tenor, Red Garland on the piano, Paul Chambers playing bass, Philly Joe Jones on the drums, and...

...How and why do Glaciers move? Glaciers are large masses of ice that are continuously changing and may be perceived as an open system with inputs and outputs. They take up 10% of the world’s total land area and are usually found in Polar Regions like Antarctica and Greenland and places where there are high altitudes and low latitudes. Fresh falling snow is made up of tiny ice crystals and after it lands it changes into solid ice. Newly fallen snow is light and porous, but as the snow becomes buried by more snow, the snowflakes change into granular ice called firn. As time passes the firn gets buried further causing the weight above it to compress it into solid ice. The force of gravity and the pressure of the ice cause the glacier to move downhill. The ice mass will stay stationary until it reaches a certain amount of thickness and when the ice reaches this amount of thickness, the pressure becomes great enough to cause the glacier to deform and move. The ice will move away from where there is the most pressure (thickest part of the glacier). Glaciers can retreat or advance depending on the amount of snow accumulation and ablation that occurs from year to year. If accumulation exceeds ablation, then the mass of the glacier will increase which causes the glacier to advance. If the snout moves to an area of lower latitude ablation will increase and eventually equilibrium will be re-established. Retreating and advancing of glaciers are very slow processes and takes hundreds...

...Module 2: Critical Thinking Option #2 During the seventeenth and eighteenth century a mass migration occurred throughout Europe and Africa. These settlers came to America in search of wealth, power, and to flee the various problems of Europe. Over half of the settlers were under twenty five, male, and poor. Over half of the immigrants were indentured servants and slaves. Some of the servants volunteered and some were forces or kidnapped into migrating. These indentured slaves played a major role in the development of American colonies. The indentured slaves wanted to move to America and the masters needed labor. This became a path for families to finance their trip to America is search for a better life. Indentured Servants Beginning and Decline...

...8,000 people lost their lives when the deadliest hurricane on record destroyed Galveston, Texas on September 8, 1900. 15-foot waves and 130 mile per hour winds decimated the island. Hurricanes, like this one, cause a lot of damage every year, especially along the southeastern coast of the United States. To understand these storms, scientists are studying how hurricanes form, move, and cause destruction. Every hurricane forms because of heat, moisture, and wind. When cool air lies above a warm ocean, moisture begins to rise, causing a thunderstorm. If the thunderstorm gets strong enough, it is called a tropical storm. If the winds reach at least 74 miles per hour, the storm becomes a hurricane (Tucker 4). Hurricanes move in a circular motion....

...Bearing in mind Gaskell's desire to "...give some utterance to the agony which from time to time convulsed this dumb people," how effective is "Mary Barton" in its attempt to move the reader through its depiction of working class struggles. Elizabeth Gaskell's main purpose of the novel is to bring to light the struggles that are faced by the poor. Gaskell does this through the use of descriptive language and also by presenting a number of themes through certain characters, such as a belief of injustice in the industrial working class. As a female writer, there is much criticism against her for writing a novel so out of depth of her class and gender. However, even with this criticism Gaskell still brings to light key socio-political issues, such as the need for the worker and employer to understand each other. The era in which "Mary Barton" is written is known as the Time of Troubles. During a period of prosperity from 1832 to 1836 during the industrial revolution, Gaskell's experience of these conditions are sensed strongly in the narrative, in particular her contact with the working class in her home city of Manchester, as she "elbows" the working class everyday on the streets. This historic document therefore brings you closer to the struggles of the working class, as suggested by Gaskell: "The more I reflected on this unhappy state of things...as the employers and employed must be, the more anxious I became to give some utterance to the agony." It can be argued that Gaskell...

...An Approach to Corpus-based Discourse Analysis: The Move Analysis as Example THOMAS A . UPTON AND MARY ANN COHEN Abstract This article presents a seven-step corpus-based approach to discourse analysis that starts with a detailed analysis of each individual text in a corpus that can then be generalized across all texts of a corpus, providing a description of typical patterns of discourse organization that hold for the entire corpus. This approach is applied specifically to a methodology that is used to analyze texts in terms of the functional/communicative structures that typically make up texts in a genre: move analysis. The resulting corpus-based approach for conducting a move analysis significantly enhances the value of this often used (and misused) methodology, while at the same time providing badly needed guidelines for a methodology that lacks them. A corpus of ‘birthmother letters’ is used to illustrate the approach. Biber et al. (2007) explore how discourse structure and organization can be investigated using corpus analysis; they offer a structured, seven-step corpusbased approach to discourse analysis that results in generalizable descriptions of discourse structure. This article draws on the themes in this book, but focuses in particular on analyses that use theories on communicative or functional purposes of text as the starting point for understanding why texts in a corpus are structured the way they are, before moving to a closer examination and description of...

The chess pieces are then arranged the same way each time. The second row (or rank) is filled with pawns. The rooks go in the corners, then the knights next to them, followed by the bishops, and finally the queen, who always goes on her own matching color (white queen on white, black queen on black), and the king on the remaining square. The player with the white pieces always moves first. Therefore, players generally decide who will get to be white by chance or luck such as flipping a coin or having one player guess the color of the hidden pawn in the other player's hand. White then makes a move, followed by black, then white again, then black and so on until the end of the game. How the Chess Pieces Move Each of the 6 different kinds of pieces moves differently. Pieces cannot move through other pieces (though the...

...then becomes a positive exponent. You should only move negative exponents. EX: 5-2= 1/5-2 = 1/25 4x-2 = 4/x-2 X-3/Y-7 = Y7/X3 154. How do you know if an exponential expression is simplified? The easiest way to know when an exponent is simplified is when the X in the expression has an exponent attached to it. 155. How do you know if a number is written in scientific notation? When you use scientific notation you first need to move the decimal place until you reach a number between 1-10, than you will need to add a power of 10 to show how many places you moved that decimal. ' Example: 2,990,000,000 becomes 2.99 x 109 Being able to really tell when a number is written in scientific notation is when you see that number converted into a decimal times the amount of places of zero where you will see an exponent of 10x how ever many places are left such as the example above. 156. Explain how to convert from scientific to decimal notation and give an example. When you see a scientific notation and it shows you x 106, the exponent is telling you how many places you need to move. example 4,695 X 106 will turn into 4,695,000. This mean that you need to move the decimal point depending on if the exponent is positive or negative. if the power is negative than you would move the decimal to the left, if positive you would move it to the right. example .000004695. 157. Explain how to convert from decimal to scientific notation and...
