...Writing grant proposals is an important aspect of the financial well-being of any human services agency. With a little talent, proper support, the right connections, and well-aimed program plans, an organization may tap into the resources offered by government, private industry, and other charitable organizations. When writing a grant proposal, there are several important steps which must all be followed if they are to be seriously considered by donors. After finding an appropriate Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Application (RFA), it is important to write the proposal to address the issues for which the donor is offering support or program monies. The first step is to write an abstract of your proposal; it contains a basic summary of your proposal including the name of your agency, type of agency, purpose and objectives of the project, specific interventions of the project, target population, location and setting of the project, and relevance of the proposed project to the funding intentions. (Terao & Yuen, 2003) The table of contents is the next phase of proposal submission. This page is basically a guide to what items will be covered within the proposal and where they are located. The specific aims, background and significance, and needs and problem statement are very important parts of the written proposal.

...Artist Information Music plays a strong role in many peoples lives across the world. I think that because I know for a fact every person I know has a song that relates perfectly to them. Whether it be regarding a break-up, something happy that’s happened in their life, something sad that’s happened in their life, the loss of a close relative or friend, there’s a song that fits every single situation perfectly. Did you know, 94% of teens agree or strongly agree to the fact that they enjoy music? Or that 47% of people say that music can instantly change your mood? How about the fact that the most popular place that people listen to music is in their cars, or in their rooms. Music has a way of connecting with the mind and putting it at ease. Without music I would be a lot more stressed out that I am. It helps so that when I am working on homework, I can ease the stress with music, when I am working out music helps get me motivated, when warming up for wrestling it gets me pumped and ready to take down my opponent. The artist that motivates me the most and has had the most impact on my life would have to be Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift’s story begins on December 13th, 1989, in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Taylor began writing songs at the age of five and when she turned fifteen she released her first album. Her grandmother was a professional opera singer so Taylor began to follow in her footsteps. She sang the Star Spangled Banner at a 76ers when she was eleven years old. Then when...

...rebellious Fifties youth. Haley's recording of "Rock Around the Clock" is generally labeled to be the song that, more than any other, brought rock and roll into mainstream culture around the world. Popular music of the 1950s When the 1950s are mentioned, the first type of music to come to most people's minds is rock 'n roll. But music in the fifties was more than just rock 'n roll. The early 1950s era Pop music focusd on the song’s story and emotional delivery and was essentially a continuation of the crooner sound of the previous decade. Crooner sound refers to the sentimental songs, especially the love songs of the 1930s and 1940s It was not until the middle of the decade, Rock and roll entered the mainstream and became a major force in American record sales. And with a series of network television appearances and chart-topping records, popular artists such as Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, and Chuck Berry became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll. The era of 50s rock-and-roll ended with the deaths of the three American rock and roll musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and "The Big Bopper" Richardson, and the conscription of Elvis into the US Army. Nevertheless, the influence of these early rockers has been felt in popular music worldwide....

...Tehla Gibbs 12/3/15 Ms.Sibley Analytical Analysis Analytical Summary Without a doubt, similar to shake and move, hip-bounce in some cases makes you think our men don't care for ladies much by any stretch of the imagination, but to generalize them as trophy pieces or, as contemporary vernacular orders, as infant mommas, chicken heads, or bitches. Be that as it may, pretty much as it was out of line to deride men of shading in the 60s singularly as wild-peered toward radicals when what they needed, in the midst of their wrath, was a little opportunity and a little power, today it isn't right to completely release hip-jump without taking into genuine thought the financial conditions and the numerous record names that anxiously endeavor and profit by the lack of awareness of a considerable lot of these youthful craftsmen that have prompted the present situation. Alternately, to summarize the late Tupac Shakur, we were given this world, we didn't make it. Kevin Powell, Notes of a Hip-hop Head. In addition to hip-bounce's defenders, you were given this world and you laud it. You were given this world and you secure it. You were given this world and you profit by it. You were given this world and even in your most extravagant fantasies you decline to envision whatever else however this world. Furthermore, any individual who assaults your sexist dream and offers an option vision is a hater, or more regrettable, an adversary who simply doesn't get it. What is there to...

...Chapter Summaries (Highschool Music Methods) Artistry in Effective Teaching: Command of Content and Mastery of Methods Effective music teaching as artistry is one of the key points in this chapter. Teaching music is an artistry because it involves performing as well as musicality. Teaching music is a “planned performance” in the sense that a music teacher prepares his/her lessons and then “performs” it in front of his/her class. In order for music teaching to become artistry it is, first and foremost, essential that the teacher possesses a good command of his/her content or subject matter. Having a good command of and intimate knowledge of your subject matter is not a simple thing because your subject matter is composed of everything you have learned in college. That knowledge will help you, as a teacher, to “lead all types of students in the study of sequential concepts and skills.” The sequence mentioned and its content may come from a number of sources. A music teacher preparing his/her sequence of study and content must take into consideration the following: the music curriculum of the school that employs him/her, the past lessons of the students, chat he/she has learned in college, music appreciation books, contents of different teaching approaches (Kodaly, Orff, Suzuki, etc.), the National Standards of Competencies, as well as curriculums of other music programs that may be helpful. Another key point stressed in this chapter is the use of “high-quality (music) literature...

...I believe that through the capacity mentioned by Hughes, human beings derive the ability to reach new “achievements, doctrines, theories, [and] proposals.” For me, this ability is exemplified through drumline. I spent the first two years learning the language of drumming; every rudiment, piece of music, and instrumental technique contributed to my foundational knowledge of the skill. I later found that the more I knew the language, the more I could create my own combinations of letters to make words, and words into pieces of music. Liberal education is the same way: the more we learn, the more we can apply said learning to new ideas and...

...Faisal Amjad 11/01/15 Film Appreciation The Film and novel I decided to do on is the classic To Kill a Mockingbird (1962), which had a legendary cast starring Gregory Peck as Atticus and Mary Badham as Scout, this adaption of the book is as much a classic as the novel itself in my opinion which can be backed up by any person who is in American theater. The film received eight Academy Awards nominations and netted awards for Best Actor, Best Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium, and Best Art Direction — Set Decoration, Black and White. This film was a critical adaption of the book. Fans and critiques alike rank this among the best movies of all time, it is ranked #84 top rated movie of all time on IMDB.com, (rated by the people and critiques alike) the production was very extensive and expensive for its time, the budget for the film was about 2 million dollars and made well over $15 million at the box office and it was filmed on 35mm role of film. It was directed by Robert Mulligan, Written by Harper Lee (based on her novel "To Kill a Mockingbird"), and Horton Foote (screenplay) the movie was produced by universal international pictures....
