no relevance to another. That statement denies that there could objectively be a best singer of all time. Which can be a very dangerous slope to go down, for if one claims that no one could ever be the best, they are denying the fact that Freddie Mercury is indeed that greatest singer of all time. With his 4-octave vocal range to his vocal transparency, and with his vocal dynamics, proves that he is in fact the greatest of all time. “A killer queen” and “dynamite with a laser beam”, perhaps…

choose a commercially available piece of music and analyse the recording techniques used.

consideration, the new piece I chose to write about is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. Bohemian Rhapsody has plenty of dramatic contrasts, frequent shifts in tempo, and changes in rhythmic character from section to section. The piece was written by Freddie Mercury in 1975 for the bands album: A Night at the Opera. I believe everyone should listen to Bohemian Rhapsody at least once in their lifetime. The song has more variations and contrast than most songs we listen to today. Even though this piece…

At the time the Rankin Bros., headed by James Rankin on Blackstone, were supplying the Conger Lumber Co. Another sawmill operator in the region was the Mitchell Lumber Co. set up by Thomas Mitchell…
Economic Benefits Introducing a large-scale tidal power project in the Bay of Fundy region would create employment opportunities, increase GDP and tax revenue and may decrease health care expenditures. Employment 22 000 full-time equivalent jobs are expected to arise from a large tidal power project. The planning, construction and maintenance of the turbines would require many employees during both the construction and operation and maintenance phases. The majority of these jobs would be in…
Social and Environmental Profile Cultural, Social and Economic Impact Vulnerable Populations Southern Florida has a large migrant farm worker population that could be negatively impacted by food shortages and thus labor shortages across the state and county.

Low income residents will also be impacted if aerial spraying continues in the region. Food…
about how our environment is damaged by contamination caused by fracking, oil drilling, and raw sewage. The pollutants leak into the land, enter the water systems, and air at nearby sites. I believe we can do better for our environment. The Chesapeake Bay is the third largest estuary in the United States. It was formed about ten thousand years ago when a glacier melted and flooded the Susquehanna River valley. Its waters run throughout the District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland, New York,…
