Title: D. W. Griffith Content: David Llewelyn Wark "D. W." Griffith (January 22, 1875 – July 23, 1948) was an American movie director and white supremacist.Obituary Variety, July 28, 1948, page 97. He is best known as the director of the Ku Klux Klan 1915 movie The Birth of a Nation and the 1916 follow-up movie Intolerance. The Birth of a Nation made early use of advanced camera and storytelling techniques. It was a very popular movie. It was also a very controversial movie. The movie showed African Americans and White anti-racists in a bad way. It also showed slavery and the Ku Klux Klan as good things. The movie was praised by President Woodrow Wilson. He said it was "history written in lightning". The NAACP boycotted the movie. Griffith responded to all the criticism with another movie, Intolerance. This movie showed the dangers of prejudice. The movie did not make as much money as The Birth of a Nation, but the critics liked it. Many of Griffith's later movies were critical successes. They did not make a lot of money. Even so, he is one of the most important figures of early movies. Other famous movies by Griffith include Orphans of the Storm and Broken Blossoms. thumb|left|The Adventures of Dollie (1908)

Title: Ballade (musical form) Content: This article is about the instrumental ballade that was popular in the 19th century. For the medieval French ballade see Ballade. A ballade is a piece of music, usually for piano. It has several tunes, and one can easily imagine that it is telling a story (a ballade is a medieval French song which tells a story). The first composer who used the title “ballade” for his piano pieces was Frédéric Chopin. He wrote four ballades. They are quite free in form. Chopin does not tell us about any particular story he had in mind. Perhaps they are just musical stories. They are four of his finest works. Later on other composers also wrote ballades: César Franck and Franz Liszt in particular. Johannes Brahms wrote ballades for piano which are quite like songs in their form. Edvard Grieg wrote a ballade which was based on a Norwegian song. Gabriel Fauré wrote a ballade for piano and orchestra. Some composers wrote ballades for orchestra, but they are really like short symphonic poems. Category:Musical forms

Title: Girl group Content: A girl group is a music group with a group of female singers who normally harmonise together. The term "girl group" is also used in a narrower sense in English-speaking countries. It suggests the American female pop singing groups of the late 1950s and early 1960s. They were hugely successful for a time, between the decline of early rock and roll and the British Invasion. Many of them were influenced by doo-wop style. In the 1950s and 60s, the groups were mostly self-organised, girls who knew each other and often grew up together. The Chantels, for example, were four girl choristers from a Catholic high school in the Bronx, 1957.Fletcher, Tony 2009. All hopped up and ready to go: music from the streets of New York 192777. New York: Norton, p118 & opposite p300. The Ronettes were two sisters and a cousin.p197 The Supremes were girls from a public housing estate in Detroit, Michigan.Wilson, Mary & Romanowski, Patricia. 1986. Dreamgirl & supreme faith: my life as a supreme. New York: Cooper Square Publishers. They were, and still are, America's most successful vocal group of all time.Bronson, Fred 2003. The Billboard Book of Number 1 Hits, page 265. Billboard Books. These groups had managers, of course, because they needed someone to deal with the music industry. But the managers did not set up the groups; they came after the groups were formed. Later, almost all groups were created by public relations professionals to meet a market need. The Spice Girls were a good example of this. They were put together in the mid-1990s by a family management team. Their managers' idea was to create a girl group to compete with popular boy bands that dominated the pop music scene in the mid- to late-1990s.McGibbon, Rob 1997. Spice Power: the inside story. Macmillan Publishers Ltd. The Spice Girls sold most albums, and had the best-selling album of all time.Biography - Spice Girls Rolling Stone; Spice selling some 23 million copies worldwide One obvious difference between the earlier groups and the later ones was in their social backgrounds. Earlier American groups, having grown up together, were all of the same social origin and colour. What is more, they had usually sung together, and socialised together, before they formed up as a group. This is also true of most of the earlier British boy groups. The later groups, on the other hand, were deliberately chosen for variety. This was done so that all sections of the audience would have at least one member they could identify with. They had not sung together, or maybe met each other, until their PR manager introduced them. With the changing times, the marketing of popular music changed greatly, so that direct comparison of sales is not simple. but in many parts of the world digital sales are now the most important.

Title: Conceptual metaphor Content: A conceptual metaphor or cognitive metaphor is a metaphor which refers to one domain (group of ideas) in terms of another. For example, treating quantity in terms of direction: #Prices are rising. #I attacked every weak point in his argument. (Argument as war rather than enquiry or search for truth). #Life is a journey. #Love talked about as if it were war or competition. #Time talked about as if it were a path through space, or a quantity that can be saved or spent or wasted. The idea of a conceptual metaphor came from a book by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson in 1980: Metaphors we live by. :"The most recent linguistic approach to literature is that of cognitive metaphor, which claims that metaphor is not a mode of language, but a mode of thought". Donald Freeman. A convention is to write conceptual metaphors in small capital letters, e.g. , with the target domain (idea being referred to) first, here "money," and the source domain (terms used to refer to it) second. == Political metaphors == * eminence grise: literally, "grey man," from French. Colloquially, the power-behind-the-throne.This phrase originally referred to François Leclerc du Tremblay, the right-hand man of Cardinal Richelieu. Leclerc was a Capuchin friar who was renowned for his beige robe attire (beige was called "grey" in then) An official close to the president or monarch who has so much power behind the scenes that he or she may double or serve as the monarch. * figurehead: a leader whose powers are entirely symbolic, such as a constitutional monarch. * puppet government: a government that is manipulated by a foreign power for its own interests. * star chamber: a secretive council or other group within a government that possesses the actual power, regardless of the government's overt form. * character assassination: spreading (usually) manufactured stories about a candidate with the intent to destroy his or her reputation in the eyes of the public. * landslide victory: a huge victory for one side. * riding coattails: victories by local or state politicians because of the popularity of more powerful politicians. * grassroots: a political movement driven by the constituents of a community. * astroturfing: public relations campaigns in politics and advertising that try to create the impression of being spontaneous, grassroots behavior. * straw man: the practice of refuting an argument that is weaker than one's opponent actually offers, or which he simply has not put forth at all. A type of logical fallacy. * spin (public relations): a heavily biased portrayal of an event or situation. * witch-hunt: the hysterical pursuit of political enemies * bread and circuses: satisfaction of shallow or immediate desires of the populace at the expense of good policy; also, the erosion of civic duty and the public life in a populace. There are many more, enough to prove the importance of the metaphor in our lives.

Title: Epic of Gilgamesh Content: The Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia. It is one of the earliest works of literary fiction known. The most complete version that exists today was preserved on twelve clay tablets in the library collection of the 7th century BC Assyrian king Ashurbanipal. A series of Sumerian legends and poems about the mythological hero-king Gilgamesh were probably gathered into a longer Akkadian poem some time before the 7th century BC. The essential story is about the relationship between Gilgamesh, a king who has become distracted and disheartened by his rule, and a friend, Enkidu, who is half- wild and who undertakes dangerous quests with Gilgamesh. Much of the epic focuses on Gilgamesh's thoughts of loss following Enkidu's death. It is often credited as being one of the first literary works with emphasis on immortality. The epic is widely read in translation, and the hero, Gilgamesh, has become an icon of popular culture. == History == Gilgamesh was the fifth king of Uruk, an ancient city of Sumer. His supposed historical reign is believed to lie within the period 2700 to 2500 BC, 200–400 years before the earliest known written stories. His father was the third king, Lugalbanda. The Epic of Gilgamesh was about him. == Bibliography == === Editions === * * * * Glossary, Appendices, Appendix (Chapter XII=Tablet XII).

Title: Resonance Content: In physics, resonance is the tendency of a system to vibrate with increasing amplitudes at some frequencies of excitation. These are known as the system's resonant frequencies (or resonance frequencies).Tongue, Benson, Principles of Vibration, Oxford University Pres, 2001, The resonator may have a fundamental frequency, and any number of harmonics. An example of useful effect of resonant frequency is a guitar string which makes a characteristic noise when it is touched. The noise depends on how thick or slack the string is. Another example can be seen in a playground swing. There is one specific rate at which you must push away a person on a swing to cause the swing to go high. This rate is the resonant frequency. In earthquake engineering, on contrary, any possibility of a resonance is detrimental for the building structure. The Kirkwood gap and other connections among orbits are caused by orbital resonance. ==Related pages== * Resonator * Seismic damper * Vibration control * Vibration isolation
Title: Theodosius Dobzhansky Content: thumb|Theodosius Dobzhansky (1943) Theodosius Grygorovych Dobzhansky (; ; January 25, 1900 – December 18, 1975) was a noted geneticist and an evolutionary biologist. Dobzhansky was born in Ukraine (then part of Imperial Russia) and emigrated to the United States in 1927. He was a central figure in the field of evolutionary biology for his work on the fruit-fly Drosophila. He did research on these flies in California, mostly on populations of Drosophila pseudoobscura. Dobzhansky was important in the modern evolutionary synthesis, which was the synthesis of evolutionary biology with genetics. == Ukraine and Russia == At school Dobzhansky collected butterflies and beetles, and studied biology at Kiev University. After graduation he moved to St Petersburg (then called Leningrad), and studied under Yuri Filipchenko, who had a Drosophila lab. Dobzhansky collected Coccinellidae (ladybird beetles) in the wild, and explored their genetics. == America == Dobzhansky emigrated to the United States in 1927. He worked with Thomas Hunt Morgan at Columbia University, who had pioneered the use of fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) in genetics experiments. He followed Morgan to the California Institute of Technology from 1930 to 1940. Dobzhansky took fruit fly research out of the laboratory and into the field. He discovered that regional varieties of flies were more similar to each other genetically than to flies from other regions. In 1937 Dobzhansky published one of the major works of the modern evolutionary synthesis, entitled Genetics and the Origin of Species.Dobzhansky T. Genetics and the Origin of Species. Columbia, N.Y. First ed 1937; second ed 1941; 3rd ed 1951. He defined evolution as "a change in the allele frequency within a gene pool". It is through changes in the proportion of alleles in a population that evolution takes place. Also in 1937, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States. During this time he had a falling out with one of his Drosophila collaborators, Alfred Sturtevant, based perhaps on professional competition. Dobzhansky returned to Columbia University from 1940 to 1962. He was one of the signatories of the 1950 UNESCO statement The Race Question. He then moved to the Rockefeller University) until his retirement in 1971. == Other key publications == * Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution The American Biology Teacher 35: (March): 125-129. * Genetics of the evolutionary process.
