as Al Green, is one of the most legendary soul singers of the 1970’s. It was his thrilling cries and moans, along with his Memphis soul sound, that made his singing famous. He began singing gospel at the age of nine with the Greene Brothers, a family quartet (Roling…). After being dismissed from the group by his father, at age 16 he formed a pop group with his high school friends. Though their first single did well, the follow-ups were unsuccessful, and the group dissolved. Consequently, Green became a solo artist and “decided to drop the final “e” from his last name” (Biography…). Although he was raised in a Baptist church, most of Green’s hit songs were those of the secular music industry. Al Green has sold more than 20 million records. During 1972 and 1973, he placed six consecutive singles in the Top 10. Moreover, in 1972, Green recorded “How Do I Mend a Broken Heart”, a song released by the Bee Gees in 1971. These lyrics expressed by Green’s talented vocal ability to range from the bottom of the scale to high falsetto places this song among Green’s most memorable recordings. His soul stirring rendition of this song not only takes the audience on a journey with him to the lowest…
Hamlet’s actions throughout the play support this deceitful nature. His dual personalities are the foundation of his madness. There are many examples that illustrate how Hamlet’s deceitful nature results in a tragedy because of his inability to choose which role to play. In Act One, Hamlet appears to be very straightforward in his actions and his role. When his mother questions him, Hamlet says, "Seems, madam? Nay it is. I know not…
Constructed around 350 B.C., Chankillo is believed to have been built for seasonal events, rituals, sun festivals and for keeping a seasonal calendar through solar observations (Ghezzi, Portal to the Heritage of Astronomy 59-61). Chankillo is known as the Peruvian ‘Stonehenge’ as stated by the MIT Technology Review. It has 13 towers that are neatly aligned but nobody knows for sure why these towers were constructed this way (Emerging Technology From the arXiv). All information was destroyed…
There are many legends/stories surrounding the discovery of Saturn. According to mythology, the Assyrians were the first people to record sightings of Saturn. They spotted Saturn as a bright light and named it the Star of Ninib, in honor of the Assyrian sun god of springtime. Later the Greeks and Romans had their own ideas of this strange wandering planet. The Greeks named it Cronus, ruler of the Titans. The Romans later changed the planet’s name to Saturn. Both cultures identified Saturn as the…
On the photosphere of the Sun it can be observed groups of dark spots. These dark spots are called sunspots and are temporarily, during from a few days to a few months. Sunspots are observed as dark compared to the surrounding areas because of the low temperature compared to the rest of the photosphere. The reduced temperature at the sunspots is due to high magnetic fields that counteract the convection preventing hotter material to reach the surface.\par The sunspots can be seen with the naked…
I started paying more attention to where the Moon was located and how much of the Moon was showing that night, to get a better idea of how the Moon “moves across the sky” and appears to be changing shape. I made sure to record this as well. Another way I collected data was through group discussions. Inside the classroom, students would explain their observations of the Moon and discuss why they believe the Moon is in appears to be changing location every night. I also recorded some of this…
idea to 1 Enoch 100:10; although in this text, angels record and study the movements of the heavenly bodies for “evil activity,” working to “harmonize all existence, heavenly and earthly” (19:3). The author also expands Gen 1:14, reminiscent of Jubilees (see next subsection) connecting newborns and horoscopes with cosmological authority: And I appointed the sun over the illumination of the day, but the moon and stars over the illumination of the night. And the sun goes in accordance with each…
of sunspot today. And I think you will find it interesting. Now I am going to assume that you know that sunspots, in the most basic terms, are the dark spots on the Sun's surface. That ' Ll do for now. The ancient Chinese were the first to record observations of sunspots as the early as the year 165. When later European astronomers wrote about sunspots, they did not believe that the spots were put on the Sun. That's for their Belief at the time that the heavenly bodies, the Sun, Moon, Stars and…
In January 2009, astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope had an opportunity to record Saturn when its rings were on edge, Because the orbits of "Saturn's major satellites were lined up in the ring plane, astronomers had a chance to catch a truly amazing display in space, they were able to see the bodies crossing the face of Saturn. A lineup like this only happens about every 15-years, and leading this line up was Titan, Saturn's giant moon it is larger than the planet Mercury" (Wong).…
