Pedal point 
 A pedal point (or pedal note) is a note which keeps sounding for several bars, usually in the bass (the lowest notes).
Pedal point 
 They are called "pedal" notes because they are often heard in organ music where the player puts one of his feet on a pedal note and holds it there.
Pedal point 
 Pedal points are usually on either the tonic (main key note) (tonic pedal) or the dominant (5th note of the scale) (dominant pedal) tones.
Pedal point 
 A good example of a dominant pedal can be seen in the Prelude in C major from Book I of the Well-Tempered Clavier by Bach.
Pedal point 
 An example of a tonic pedal can be seen in the third movement of Brahms's German Requiem, where the double basses play continuous D's in the last section.
Euclidean geometry 
 Carl Friedrich Gauss, János Bolyai, and Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky were some people that developed such geometries.
Euclidean geometry 
 With a straight line segment it is possible to draw a circle, so that one endpoint of the segment is the center of the circle, and the other endpoint lies on the circle.
Euclidean geometry 
 If two lines intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two right angles, then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side if extended far enough.
János Bolyai 
 János Bolyai (December 15, 1802 – January 27, 1860) was a Hungarian mathematician, known for his work in non-Euclidean geometry.

Nut (goddess) 
 Nut was the sister and wife of Geb, and the mother of (with Ra) Osiris, Nephthys,Isis and Seth and grandmother of Horus.
Nut (goddess) 
 The ancient Egyptians believed that Nut swallowed the sun-god, Ra, every night and gave birth to him every morning.
Nut (goddess) 
 Nut was known as the mother of all gods, including Ra (her grandfather) because she swallowed him up every night and gave birth to him again in the morning.
Nut (goddess) 
 As the sky goddess, Nut was shown arching over Geb (earth god), her fingertips near his head and her toes by his feet.
Nut (goddess) 
 She was commonly pictured dark blue and wore no robes, although some Egyptians believed that Nut wore a rainbow-colored robe, with stars all over her body.
Nut (goddess) 
 She was a motherly figure and a very strong and independent goddess, for she would not marry just any person.
Nut (goddess) 
 Nut had a strong relationship with Geb, her twin brother, as well as Thoth the god of scribes and wisdom.
Nut (goddess) 
 She gambled with Khonsu (the moon god) to create 5 more days, so she and Geb could have five children.

Nut (goddess) 
 She and Ra also had one daughter named Sekhmet, the lion goddess, who had a flip personality called Hathor the goddess of love and peace.

Nut (goddess) 
 The seasons were Akhet, (the inundation) Peret (when the water retreated) and Shemu (harvest season).
Nut (goddess) 
 Nut loved Geb, but Ra was not happy that she loved Geb so he told Shu, their father (the air god) to separate them.
Nut (goddess) 
 Then, Ra put a curse on Nut so she could not have babies on any of the three-hundred sixty days of the year.
Nut (goddess) 
 Thoth wanted to let Nut be able to have babies so he challenged Khonsu, the moon god, to a game of Senet.

Cross of Gold speech 
 The Cross of Gold speech was a famous speech at the 1896 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois by William Jennings Bryan.
Cross of Gold speech 
 Having behind us the producing masses of this nation and the world, supported by the commercial interests, the laboring interests and the toilers everywhere, we will answer their demand for a gold standard by saying to them: You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.
Paolo Uccello 
 Paolo Uccello, (1397 – 10 December 1475), was a painter from Florence in Italy, during the time known as the Early Renaissance.
Paolo Uccello 
 He is famous as one of the first painters of the Italian Renaissance to use perspective in his pictures.
Paolo Uccello 
 Most of what we know about Uccello comes from Giorgio Vasari, who wrote Paolo's biography about 75 years after Uccello died.
Paolo Uccello 
 Vasari says that he was called Uccello, which means "Bird", because he loved all animals and would often paint them, but he loved birds best of all.
Paolo Uccello 
 When he was about 11 years old, he was sent to be trained in the workshop of one of the most famous artists in Florence, a young man called Lorenzo Ghiberti.
Paolo Uccello 
 Ghiberti was famous because he had won an important competition to make a huge set of beautiful doors for the oldest church in the city.
Paolo Uccello 
 The doors took 27 years to make, so in that time, lots of different artists helped in the making of them, and lots of talented young people like Uccello were trained in the workshop.
Paolo Uccello 
 He was asked to paint some frescoes showing stories of different saints for the monks of a Church of San Miniato, on a mountain above Florence.
Paolo Uccello 
 So, Uccello also ate nothing but bread and cheese for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, sometimes made into soup.
Paolo Uccello 
 The monks laughed and promised that he would get better food, if only he would promise to come back and finish what he had started.
Paolo Uccello 
 The horse is standing on a painted plinth like the base of a statue and Sir John's name is written on the plinth, as if the statue was standing in the town square.
Paolo Uccello 
 The painting was very popular, and some years later, another soldier was remembered in the same way with a painting by the artist Andrea Castagno.
Paolo Uccello 
 The clock has two faces, one that can be seen outside in the square and another which is on an inside wall of the cathedral.
Paolo Uccello 
 Uccello painted the round clockface into a square shape and put the head of a prophet in each corner.
Paolo Uccello 
 The prophets' faces are all very different but the thing that is the most clever about them is that Uccello painted bright light and dark shadows on their faces as if the light was coming from a real window which is high on the wall to the left side of the clock.
Paolo Uccello 
 The other important job for the cathedral was to design two big round stained glass windows, each one 4.5 metres across.
Paolo Uccello 
 The cathedral had been built in the last century, but it had been left with a huge hole at the centre which needed a roof of some sort.
Paolo Uccello 
 An artist called Brunelleschi had come up with a brilliant plan for a dome, and the whole city was excited about getting it built.
Paolo Uccello 
 The two that remain are The Nativity (The Birth of Jesus) and The Resurrection (Jesus rising from the dead).
Paolo Uccello 
 The paintings that are regarded as Uccello's masterpieces are frescoes of Noah's Ark and the Great Flood in the Church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence.
Paolo Uccello 
 Unfortunately, they are quite badly damaged and partly lost, but even so, it is possible to see what a clever artist Uccello was.
Paolo Uccello 
 The second is that they use perspective to give the impression that the viewer is looking into the scene.
Paolo Uccello 
 All the man-made things, like the Ark, the old doors, barrels, up-side-down tables and broken things that are floating on the flood water, are all painted in the same red colour.
Paolo Uccello 
 Another man, seeing an old man standing on a little hill, has grabbed him round the ankles to pull himself up.
Paolo Uccello 
 Another man, with part of his great big fashionable hat slipped down around his neck, is thumping on the wall of the ark with a club.
Paolo Uccello 
 He asked Uccello to paint three large paintings on panels, each about 3 metres long, to decorate his palace.
Paolo Uccello 
 The subject was to be Three scenes from the Battle of San Romano in which the Florentine troops defeated the neighbouring town of Siena.
Paolo Uccello 
 But it made three very good pictures which were later divided up between three important art galleries.
Paolo Uccello 
 The National Gallery, London has the left-hand scene of Niccolo Tolentino leading his troops on his magnificent rearing white charger and wearing, of course, a great big Florentine hat of red and gold brocade.
Paolo Uccello 
 The Uffizi Gallery in Florence has the middle scene in which the leader of the enemy forces, Bernadino della Ciarda, has been struck by a lance and is falling off his horse backwards.
Paolo Uccello 
 The right-hand scene, which is in the Louvre in Paris, shows the brave Michelotto di Cotignola swinging his horse around to attack an opponent with his sword.
Paolo Uccello 
 Even though, at first glance each battle scene looks quite chaotic, the paintings are very carefully organised.
Paolo Uccello 
 This is particularly noticeable in the way Uccello has arranged the lances that are held upright by the troops and the many weapons that are lying on the ground.
Paolo Uccello 
 And while the battle is raging in the foreground, in the background are mountains, fields, hedges and woods.
Paolo Uccello 
 The difference in size between the figures in the foreground and the figures in the background create distance in the picture.
Paolo Uccello 
 Uccello became very good at mathematical calculation of the perspective of buildings, but it was not until his old age that he could fully understand how to calculate the sizes of things like people in the distance.
Paolo Uccello 
 His last painting shows a hunting party, with a great forest of trees, people and dogs, all going away into the distance, from near to far.
Paolo Uccello 
 In 1469 Paolo wrote on his tax assessment that he was too old to work any more and that his wife was ill.
Paolo Uccello 
 Giorgio Vasari, who, 100 years later, researched and wrote the lives of many painters, wrote that, unfortunately Paolo was badly offended by Donatello, who looked at his latest painting and told him, for a joke, to cover it up.
Paolo Uccello 
 Vasari said that Paolo was so hurt that refused to come out of his room but sat working at his drawings, and whenever his wife called him to come to bed he would answer "What a wonderful thing perspective is!"
Paolo Uccello 
 He died on 10 November, 1475, leaving behind him his old wife and a daughter Antonia who was also very good at painting.
Sumer Is Icumen In 
 It was written down around the middle of the 13th century by a monk but we do not know whether that monk composed it, or whether it had been composed earlier.
Sumer Is Icumen In 
 To sing as a round, one singer (or group of singers) would begin at the beginning, a second singer would start at the beginning as the first got to the point marked with the red cross, then the third would join in when the second singer got to the red cross, and so on until all six were singing.

Kumquat 
 Kumquats are slow-growing, evergreen shrubs or small trees, from 2.5–4.5 m tall, with dense branches.
Kumquat 
 Kumquats came from China (they are known in literature of the 12th century), and have long been cultivated there and in Japan.
Kumquat 
 They were introduced to Europe in 1846 by Robert Fortune, who was collector for the London Horticultural Society, and a short time later into North America.
Kumquat 
 The 'Nagami' kumquat needs a hot summer, ranging from 25 °C(77°F) to 38°C(100.4°F), but can withstand frost down to about -10 °C(14°F).
Kumquat 
 It grows in the tea regions of China where the climate is too cold for other citrus fruits, even the Mikan (also known as the Satsuma) orange.
Kumquat 
 The English name "kumquat" derives from the Cantonese pronunciation gam1 gwat1 (given in Jyutping romanization).
