Alternating current

Prior to taking this class I had never attempted to juggle anything. For this project I will be juggling three small homemade bean bags.

I am not very good at paddle ball. I can usually only hit the ball up…

It had no manifestos nor schools nor leaders and it was not quite a movement; the artists who were involved with it were also involved in other types of arts. Land art was labelled as modern ‘sculpture’ but its versatility and introduction of new concepts and visual…

would read more like novels; this style always intrigued Halberstam (2). His style has been classified as novelistic and narrative, and was made possible through dogged research and personal interviews (4). Halberstam had a consistent pattern of alternating heavy-themed books with lighter ones, such that his book on the American media was followed by a book about basketball. His book about the American auto industry’s race with the Japanese was followed by a baseball book. Although he constantly…

The technology behind radio as well as its inventors is the reason why, nowadays, people have an unlimited access to information; it began in 1844, with the invention of the…

the stakeholders who are asking me to present. I want to know as much as I can about the demographics of the group, including if there are areas I should avoid for any reason. For instance, I’m extremely liberally politically, which means in our current political landscape that has bred intense divisiveness, I need to be careful about what I might say to a group that is more…

First off, the official language is Portuguese which makes up almost 100 percent of the population. Brazilians have a strong national ideology that their land is a “racial democracy”. As far as the Brazilian class system goes, people with darker skin tend to be economically and socially disadvantaged. Class is determined by economic status and skin color. Women make up forty percent of the workforce but are found with lower paying jobs than males such as teaching, nursing, and jobs with clerical…

In this study, the effects of…

underlying beats were different for me between different parts of the song. In the opening part, I counted it as simple meters and in the climax, I counted it as duple meters. As the parts were repeating in the song, the two kinds of beats kept alternating which regulated my running patterns throughout the song. As Terry and Karageorghis (2006) indicated, we respond to the rhythmical qualities of music by synchronising our movements to tempo, which can produce an ergogenic effect. When I was…
