... industrial processes, valves were added to the already existing trumpet, thus making it a more useful aid in musical composition. Also, the saxophone was invented and pianos could now be made better. A steel frame was added to them and their strings would become those of a better quality giving a better and more brilliant sound. In the musical world, new opportunities were being brought about. Most importantly, music was being brought from the church into the concert hall. There were also more chances for instrumentalists to better themselves since new conservatories were being established in Europe. All of this meant that orchestras could now be larger and the qua ...

... group of the three Graces, which stood at the entrance to the Acropolis until he 2d century ad. In the Peloponnesian war with Sparta he served as an infantryman with conspicuous bravery at the battles of potidaea in 432-430 bc, Delium in 424 bc, and amphipolis in 422 bc. Socrates believed superiority of argument over writing and therefore spent the greater part of his mature life in the marketplace and public resorts of Athens in dialogue and argument with anyone who would listen or who submit to interrogation. He wrote no books and establish no regular school of philosophy. He belief in a purely objective understanding at such concepts as justice, love, and virtue ...

... were in Latin, and are by anonymous composers. Many were written by wandering people, many of them men and churchmen without permanent residences of their own. Men who could not obtain a position in the Church and had to drop out were called goliards. These goliards wandered around the land, composing and performing for people. Their music was mostly comprised of the "’eat, drink, and be merry’ type, appropriate to the wanton kind of life the goliards lived" (Stolba, 99). Carl Orff, the composer of the Carmina Burana, used the poems found in the largest surviving records of Latin secular music that we have today. The Codex latinus 4660 was held in the Bened ...

... new territories, evasion of the issue became increasingly difficult. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 temporarily settled the issue by establishing the 36° 30' parallel as the line separating free and slave territory in the Louisiana Purchase. Conflict resumed, however, when the United States boundaries were extended westward to the Pacific. The Compromise Measures of 1850 provided for the admission of California as a free state and the organization of two new territories—Utah and New Mexico—from the balance of the land acquired in the Mexican War. The principle of popular sovereignty would be applied there, permitting the territorial legislatures to decide the st ...

... also used as a healing power. On the front lines of battle would be a soldier that would be holding a drum or a flute. When this was a common act the instruments would be spread around to different cultures after a battle. This brought on a new way of looking at music. Around the 16th century people started to collect instead of play music. A persons hands and feet were the first of all the instruments and is still the most common, because every one has them. A persons hands and feet were readily available, and easy to use. The drum is the second most common percussion instrument. Like most of the other instruments the drum was found by accident when someone hit ...

... This power enables them to succeed in protecting Minnie, the accused. "Trifles" not only tells a story, it shows the demeaning view the men have for the women, the women’s reaction to man’s prejudice, and the women’s defiance of their powerless position. Throughout the play, Glaspell uses dialogue which allows us to see the demeaning view the men have for the women. Mr. Hale declares that "women are used to worrying about trifles" (958) trivializing the many tasks and details that women are responsible for. In his ignorance of how crucial their duties are in allowing a household to function smoothly, he implies their unimportance. The remark from the Count ...

... the settlers did not want to come. This was because the settlers would rather move to a mostly British society, instead of a mostly French. Some other aims of this Act were: Limit the size of Quebec, cutting Montreal from the Fur Trade, and also to reassure the Natives that their hunting grounds, and fur trade would be protected and remain intact. Some of the terms of the Proclamation Act were as follows: settlement in the Ohio and Mississippi was forbidden, and trappers, traders and settlers were allowed in only with a license given from the crown, stating there reasons for being in those two areas. The French language was also allowed ...

... Cuba to reassure him that there would be no war. He said that McKinley was a coward. American's were outraged at this. But that was not it. When the U.S.S. Maine was blown up; killing more than 260 soldiers, Americans, if they hadn't before, they were now demanding war more than ever. They blamed the explosion on Spain and told McKinley to go to war. McKinley had decided to go to war even though Spain had given in to America's demands. He didn't want to look like a coward to the American people. He was also afraid that resisting war would cost Republicans control of Congress in the fall elections. The battle for the Philippines was very important to the war. This ...

... with some of his friends including Einstein who talked to Roosevelt. Roosevelt approved the project in 1939 Physicists from 1939 onward conducted much research to find answers to such questions as how many neutrons were emitted in each fission, which elements would not capture the neutrons, would they moderate or reduce their velocity, and whether only the lighter and more rare isotope of uranium (U- 235) or the common isotope (U-238) could be used. They learned that each fission releases a few neutrons. A chain reaction, therefore, was theoretically possible, if not too many neutrons escaped from the mass or were captured by impurities. In 1942 General Le ...
