# Joshua ben Hananiah

Joshua ben Hananiah (Hebrew: יהושע בן חנניה Yəhōšūaʿ ben Ḥănanyā; d. AD 131), also known as Rabbi Yehoshua, was a leading tanna of the first half-century following the destruction of the Second Temple. He is the eighth-most-frequently mentioned sage in the Mishnah.

## Quotes

* God deliberated from what member (of Adam's body) He should create a woman, and He reasoned with Himself thus: I must not create her from Adam's head, for she would be a proud person and hold her head high. If I create her from the eye, then she will wish to pry into all things ; if from the ear, she will wish to hear all things; if from the mouth, she will talk much; if from the heart, she will envy all people; if from the hand, she will desire to take to herself all things; if from the feet, she will be a gadabout. Therefore will I create her from the member which is hid, that is the rib, which is not seen even when man is naked. Yet for all these (careful precautions) she has all these faults. I have not created her from the head, yet she holds her head high, as Scripture says: "The daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with stretched forth necks;" nor from the eye, yet she wishes to see all things, as the same Scripture says: "And wanton eyes." I have not created her from the ear, yet she hears what she ought not to hear; nor from the heart, yet she envies all people. I have not created her from the hand, yet she loves to take all things; nor from the feet, yet she gads about.
** Reported in Paul Isaac Hershon, Tzeénah Ureénah:—"Go Ye and See": A Rabbinical Commentary on Genesis (London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1885), p. 25. Cf. Genesis 2:18–25, Isaiah 3:16, Peter Lombard and Matthew Henry

## Quotes
### 1990s

* In a radical democracy in which everybody should be able to co-decide, not everyone meets the [criteria of] competence, preparedness to serve the common interest and economic independence. That's why this form should be rejected. Every four years, the citizen can give his judgement on government policy in all openness, and in this manner have influence. For this, it is necessary however that the citizen is well informed. That is a task of the government.
** Lecture at the University of Amsterdam (11 March 1997)

### 2000s

* If we fail in our efforts to achieve harmonisation of patent law relating to computer-implemented inventions in the European Union, we may well be confronted with a renegotiation of the European Patent Convention. The process of renegotiating the European Patent Convention would not require any contribution from this Parliament.
** Speech to the European Parliament (23 September 2003)
* The USA will remain the only superpower. China is becoming an economic giant. Europe is being Islamicized.
** Address at the opening of courses at the University of Leiden (2004), as quoted in "Islamic Europe?" (4 October 2004), by Christopher Caldwell, The Weekly Standard
# James Harrington (author)

James Harrington (or Harington; 3 January 1611 – 11 September 1677) was an English political theorist of classical republicanism. He is best known for his controversial publication The Commonwealth of Oceana (1656). This work was an exposition of an ideal constitution, a utopia, designed to facilitate the development of the English republic established after the regicide, the execution of Charles I in 1649.

## Quotes

* Again, if the liberty of a man consists in the empire of his reason, the absence whereof would betray him to the bondage of his passions, then the liberty of a commonwealth consists in the empire of her laws, the absence whereof would betray her to the lust of tyrants. And these I conceive to be the principles upon which Aristotle and Livy (injuriously accused by Leviathan for not writing out of nature) have grounded their assertion, "that a commonwealth is an empire of laws and not of men."
** The Commonwealth of Oceana (1656)

# Geffen Records

Geffen Records is an American record label, founded in late 1980 by David Geffen. Originally a music subsidiary of the company known as Geffen Pictures, it is owned by the Interscope Geffen A&M (IGA) faction of Universal Music Group (UMG).

## Quotes about Geffen Records

* Being in an indie band back then, you weren’t allowed to have dreams of being huge. None of the major labels [had] touched anything that’s remotely left of field since the punk movement. It was all Huey Lewis. That changed with Sonic Youth and then Nirvana signing to Geffen. Alternative became this huge business, and now Arcade Fire or Vampire Weekend can be [number one].
** Dean Wareham of Galaxie 500, as quoted from an interview with Lizzy Goodman of Vulture (November 16, 2010)

## Quotes

* And because she is not given as slave-girl or as one to lord it over him, in the beginning she was not formed either from the highest part, nor from the lowest, but from the side of man, for the sake of conjugal partnership. If she had been made from the highest, as from the head, she might seem created for domination; but if from the lowest, as from the feet, she might seem to be created for subjection to slavery. But because she is taken neither as mistress, nor as slave-girl, she is made from the middle, that is, from the side, because she is taken for conjugal partnership.

# William Strachey

William Strachey (4 April 1572 – buried 16 August 1621) was an English writer whose works are among the primary sources for the early history of the English colonisation of North America. He is best remembered today as the eye-witness reporter of the 1609 shipwreck on the uninhabited island of Bermuda of the colonial ship Sea Venture, which was caught in a hurricane while sailing to Virginia. The survivors eventually reached Virginia after building two small ships during the ten months they spent on the island. His account of the incident and of the Virginia colony is thought by most Shakespearean scholars to have been a source for Shakespeare's play The Tempest.

# Robert Smith
## Quotes about Robert Smith

* It's not a stretch to deify The Cure's Robert Smith. As The Cure's vocalist, guitarist and voicebox, Smith, set the gold standard for post-punk, goth rock, new wave, and art rock. With his skillful blending of melody and a never-ending desire to genre hop, Smith found himself an unwilling critical and commercial success, exploding to worldwide fame in the mid to late '80s. As one of indie rock's first "influencers", Smith evoked an emo aesthetic using lipstick, black eyeliner and a nasty habit of scribing depressing lyrics, bookended by classically influenced, detuned-yet-poppy guitar stylings.
# United States Armed Forces

The United States Armed Forces are the national military forces of the United States of America, a country in the continent of North America. Established in the late 18th century, it consists of the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. Space Force. It is considered the most powerful military in the world.
The President of the United States is the military's overall head, and helps form military policy with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), a federal executive department, acting as the principal organ by which military policy and warfare are carried out. The highest-ranking officers of each of the service branches also advice the President as the Joint Chiefs of Staff, although they do not have operational command authority. The current Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces is Joe Biden in his capacity as President of the United States, while the DoD is currently overseen by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.

## Quotes

* The American soldier is as precious as the closest of your kin—because he is your kin, and for his sake the president must, in effect, say to the Congress and to the people: "I am the Commander-in-Chief. It is my sacred duty to defend the United States, and to give our soldiers what they need to complete the mission and come home safe, whatever the cost."
** Mike Pence, "The Presidency and the Constitution", Imprimis (October 2010)
* The enemy say that Americans are good at long shot, but cannot stand the cold iron. I call upon the Eleventh instantly to give the lie to that slander. Charge!
** Winfield Scott, Address to the 11th Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Chipewa (July 5, 1814), in Edwin L. Sabin, Into Mexico with General Scott (1920)

# Yamaha GX-1

The Yamaha GX-1, first released as Electone GX-707, is an analog polyphonic synthesizer developed by Yamaha as a test bed for later consumer synths and Electone series organs for stage and home use. The GX-1 has four synthesizer "ranks" or three manuals, called Solo, Upper, and Lower, plus Pedal, and an analog rhythm machine. The GX-707 first appeared in 1973 as a "theatre model" for use on concert stages, before the GX-1 was publicly released in 1975.

## Quotes about the Yamaha GX-1

* In 1973, the Yamaha Corporation decided to enter the fray [synthesizer market], with the incredibly large and organistic stylings of the GX-1. Also described as the dream machine, it became an enormous hit with artists such as Keith Emerson and Stevie Wonder, with Stevie using it as a mainstay of his classic album Songs in the Key of Life.

# Roland System 100

The Roland System 100 was an analog semi-modular synthesizer manufactured by Japan's Roland Corporation. It was released in 1975, and was manufactured until 1979.

## Quotes about the Roland System 100

* The concept was slightly different to that of the Moog modular, offering modules that were larger in scale, forming complete voice signal paths. There were four modules, the first two being synth voices, one with a keyboard and one without, while the other two modules comprised a mixer and a sequencer. By today’s standards, it’s a little like happy families, with complete vintage systems demanding exceptional price tags. Once patched altogether, it was a powerful Japanese sound, that formed that backbone for much of the early output from bands such as the Human League. You could even finish the system off with a stereo pair of speakers, designed to provide an all-in-one solution.

# Solina String Ensemble

The Solina String Ensemble, also marketed as the ARP String Ensemble, is a fully polyphonic multi-orchestral string synthesizer with a 49-key keyboard, produced by Eminent BV (known for their Solina brand). It was distributed in the United States by ARP Instruments from 1974 to 1981. The sounds it incorporates are violin, viola, trumpet, horn, cello, and contrabass. The keyboard uses 'organ style' divide-down technology to make it polyphonic. The built-in chorus effect gives the instrument its distinctive sound.

## Quotes about the Solina String Ensemble

* By association with ARP, the Solina String Ensemble was one of the better known [string synthesizers], offering pad and string-like tones, which could also operate with virtually unlimited polyphony. Many of these machines have gone on to acquire classic status, with many bands and producers using them in a contemporary setting.

# Oberheim Polyphonic Synthesizer

The Oberheim Polyphonic Synthesizer is a series of analog music synthesizers that was produced from 1975 to 1979 by Oberheim Electronics. Developed by Tom Oberheim, they were the first production synthesizers capable of playing chords.

## Quotes about the Oberheim Polyphonic Synthesizer

* Tom Oberheim had been working on a module called the Synthesizer Expander Module, or SEM for short. While overtly monophonic, Oberheim placed four of them in a keyboard housing to create the Oberheim 4-voice.

# String synthesizer

A string synthesizer or string machine is a synthesizer designed to make sounds similar to those of a string section. Dedicated string synthesizers occupied a specific musical instrument niche between electronic organs and general-purpose synthesizers in the 1970s and early 1980s, until advances in digital signal processing technology allowed the production of inexpensive general-purpose polyphonic synthesizers and samplers, which made the existence of a separate type of instrument unnecessary.
The development of the string synthesizer was originally motivated by the need for a cheaper and more portable alternative to the Mellotron, which was itself a cheaper alternative to human string ensembles. The availability of string synthesizers was influential in adding string orchestration to popular music that would not otherwise be able to afford the use of a human string ensemble, and their characteristic sound, which was almost, but not quite, like that of a real string ensemble, was one of the distinguishing sounds of the era.
To keep costs down, string synthesizers typically used a frequency divider architecture similar to that of electronic organs, with the addition of specialized in-built vibrato and chorus effects to mimic the ensemble effect of multiple string instruments playing at once.

## Quotes about the string synthesizer

* The biggest problem with the developing technologies of the 70s, was that the costs involved could be prohibitively expensive for many to enjoy the wonders of true synthesis. Many keyboard players from this era found themselves to be reliant on the legendary Fender Rhodes electric piano which, apart from offering a different sound colour to a traditional piano, also offered amplification options and true polyphony. The same could not be said for synthesizers, even the really expensive ones, that might only offer a handful of notes. Hence, some manufacturers responded by producing a type of keyboard which would be described as a String Machine.

# Roland SH-1000

The Roland SH-1000, introduced in 1973, was the first compact synthesizer produced in Japan, and the first synthesizer produced by Roland. It resembles a home organ more than a commercial synth, with coloured tabs labelled with descriptions of its presets and of the "footage" of the divide-down oscillator system used in its manually editable synthesizer section. It produced electronic sounds that many professional musicians sought after whilst being easier to obtain and transport than its Western equivalents.
The synthesizer has 10 simple preset voices combined with a manually editable section which can be manually tweaked around to create new interesting sounds. No user program memory is available. Its effects include white noise generator, portamento, octave transposition, two low frequency oscillators and a random note generator.

## Quotes about the Roland SH-1000

* [The SH-1000] hosted a set of rocker switches across the front, labelled with instrumentation such as tuba, trumpet and harpsichord, operating in a monophonic capacity. By today’s sonic standards, it was all very limited indeed, but it has gone on to be described as something of a design classic, being particularly popular with the vintage-retro enthusiasts out there.

# Drum machine

A drum machine is an electronic musical instrument that creates percussion sounds, drum beats, and patterns. Drum machines may imitate drum kits or other percussion instruments, or produce unique sounds, such as synthesized electronic tones. A drum machine often has pre-programmed beats and patterns for popular genres and styles, such as pop music, rock music, and dance music. Most modern drum machines made in the 2010s and 2020s also allow users to program their own rhythms and beats. Drum machines may create sounds using analog synthesis or play prerecorded samples.
While a distinction is generally made between drum machines (which can play back pre-programmed or user-programmed beats or patterns) and electronic drums (which have pads that can be struck and played like an acoustic drum kit), there are some drum machines that have buttons or pads that allow the performer to play drum sounds "live", either on top of a programmed drum beat or as a standalone performance. Drum machines have a range of capabilities, which go from playing a short beat pattern in a loop, to being able to program or record complex song arrangements with changes of meter and style.
Drum machines have had a lasting impact on popular music in the 20th century. The Roland TR-808, introduced in 1980, significantly influenced the development of dance music, especially electronic dance music, and hip hop. Its successor, the TR-909, introduced in 1983, heavily influenced techno and house music. The first drum machine to use samples of real drum kits, the Linn LM-1, was introduced in 1980 and was adopted by rock and pop artists including Prince and Michael Jackson. In the late 1990s, software emulations began to overtake the popularity of physical drum machines housed in a separate plastic or metal chassis.

## Quotes about the drum machine

* In 1972, a new company called Roland Corp. appeared, with the very first product in the shape of a drum machine. It was styled to include a music stand made of wood, the concept being that you could place it on top of your home organ or piano, and provide a drum-box accompaniment for your ivory-based noodlings.
