The Double

At the Rex Jazz and Blues Bar on 194 Queen Street West, The Sinners Choir performed in the genre of Americana, Free Jazz to an audience of around twenty-five people. Free Jazz was first introduced in the summer of 1960 when Saxophonist Ornette Coleman and his band recorded This is Our Music for Atlantic records. In the album, “Coleman reordered structural principles to offer the members of his group maximum melodic and rhythmic freedom,” (Anderson 2007, 1). He accomplished an improvised approach…

AAF’s carry the weight of being a double minority and holding a double consciousness in academia by being African American and women (Collins, 2001). The double consciousness has a strong effect on the AAF’s perception of how they view themselves, the decisions they make, and how they view society in general (Collins, 2001). Researcher’s Carter, Pearson and Shavlik (1988) not only acknowledge the effect the “double consciousness” has on the AAF in society, but also present…

Functional Analysis Screening Tool Summary I interviewed three different people using the FAST forms in terms of Matt’s off-task behavior of drawing and playing with toys. I interviewed his paraprofessional (Mrs. Cafini), speech and language pathologist (Mrs. Buko) and general education teacher (Mrs. Pontillo). All professionals work with Matt on the days he attends his part time kindergarten program (Monday, Wednesday and Friday). I first met with the paraprofessional and she discussed what…

most loving man I have had the pleasure of having in my life.Six foot, Dark, and dread locks past his waist, he looked like a big scary gorilla but on the contrary he was a big soft teddy bear. Well he was a great father we all knew he was living a double life. My mom , his wife so in love with him and meant her vowels “through thick and then” just turned head and looked the other way. She never could really leave him for good . He owned a motorcycle shop. Which resulted in normal weekend trips…

Society is practically based on double standards, we can’t ever make up our mind on what we claim our values are. We teach little girls that they must be perfect little princesses who never get in trouble and always follow every rule. This puts a lot of pressure on girls and women and affects their self-esteem and overall well-being. On the flip side, we tell boys that they can misbehave and break rules to be better as men. “Bad” boys are what young men strive to be for most of their life. I…

The fight to discover the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid continues in James Watson’s The Double Helix. Linus Pauling thought he had discovered the structure of the acid, but in fact he had come with an incorrect structure that did not represent an acid at all. The basis of Pauling’s model consisted of a three-chain helix in which the sugar-phosphate backbone resided in the center of the molecule. The phosphate groups in this theoretical structure were not ionized. Instead, each phosphate…

confusion crossed her face. “Why does Michael need another hearing? I thought the he wasn’t guilty.” “That’s true. However, a not guilty verdict only establishes acquittal. He will never have to face another trial for the same crime. That’s what they call double jeopardy. That is completely different from finding someone innocent. Unless his arrest gets expunged, it will stay as a permanent mark on his record.” “So, in essence, he has to undergo another trial?” “Pretty much. This time it will…

________________________________________ Doubles Doubles luge is a one-day rivalry in which duos of athletes take two runs down the course. The fastest overall time defines the champion. There is no decree that says a doubles team must encompass members of the same gender, but conventionally, men have slid together, with the superior man situated on top for a more aerodynamic fit. The doubles course is .74 miles. At the start of both doubles runs, each luge is weighed, each…

pressure from school, but the parents still add more pressure to the students using the excuse of ‘love’. Maybe the parents really want their children to get better at school, but not everyone has great coping skill to help them to survive under this double-pressure. Once the youth’s coping skills cannot help them handle the pressure, they will become stressed and depressed, which will make they slowly walk toward suicide ideation and suicide attempts. I know that parents want their children to…
