The Seminole are a group of Native American people from Florida.
Today, many Seminole people live in different groups across Florida and Oklahoma.
The Seminole Nation began in the 18th century, when many groups of Native Americans came together in Florida.
Much of Seminole culture comes from the Muscogee (Creek) people from Georgia and Alabama, who made up a large part of the Seminole Nation when it was formed.
The name "Seminole" comes the word for "runaway" in the Muscogee language, which many Seminole people spoke.
The Seminole developed an independent identity over a period of time in the 18th and 19th Centuries.
During this time they traded with British and Spanish colonists who were living in Florida.
Many free blacks and escaped slaves settled near Seminole land and paid tributes to the Seminole tribe.
These people later became known as "Black Seminoles."
After the American Revolutionary War, many Americans tried to move into Seminole land.
This created conflict leading to the Seminole Wars (1818-1858).

The   is a recitation show at Yahashira shrine in Kami-fukawa village, near the city of Nara .
The Shinto Temple in Kamifukawa has a tradition of accepting a 17-year-old boy as a member of a religious organization that carries out religious ceremonies at the temple.
The acceptance of a boy into the organization at the temple is an acknowledgment that the child has become an adult.
The performance
Young men, aged 17 (If there are not enough boys aged 17 years, boys who are not yet 17 years old or are over 17 years old are also included in the performance)  stand in a semi-circle dressed in samurai clothes and carrying bows.
One by one, they are called to the centre by an old man who reads the name of a character in the tales of the feud between the Genji and Heike clans.
There is no musical accompaniment.
When all twenty-six characters have spoken, the youths rhythmically stamp their feet and sing offstage.
Originally a rite of passage at the age of seventeen to mark the formal acceptance of the eldest son into the community of the twenty-two families of Kami-fukawa, the Daimokutate is now performed annually in mid-October by young men of various ages and from many different families.
Unique in Japan as a dramatic performance without acting or music, the Daimokutate is an important marker of identity and plays an indispensable role in maintaining solidarity in this mountainous town.
The Daimokutate was performed around the end of the Muromachi period (XVI century).
Daimokutate is the last living example of a tradition of reciting in sanctuary  by ordinary people, attested for the first time in a document of 1534.
Documents  collected by the folklore specialist Hosen Jungo between 1953 and 1955, have been preserved, but it is likely that the repertoire was much larger.

The monastery
The monastery was founded by Queen Khosrovanuysh, wife of the Bagratid king Ashot III, probably in 976.
The nearby monastery at Sanahin was built around the same time.
The largest church in the complex, the Cathedral of Surb Nishan, probably begun in 976, was completed in 991 by king Smbat.
It is a typical example of tenth century Armenian architecture, its central dome rests on the four imposing pillars of the lateral walls.
The Armenian Prince Khutulukhaga, is depicted in the south transept (a transversal nave intersecting the main nave).
The sons of the church's founder, Princes Smbat and Kurike, are shown with Queen Khosravanuysh in a bas-relieff.
Excepet  from one or two minor restorations carried out in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the church is preserved its original character.
There are several other structures at the site as well.
There is the small domed Church of Sourb Grigor (St. Gregory ) from 1005.
Two side chapels were added to the original church; the larger one built in the beginning of the 13th century and the smaller, known as "Hamazasp House", built in 1257.
In 1245.
Other 13th century additions include the chapel of Sourb Astvatsatsin, the scriptorium, and a  large refectory which is outside the monastery limits.
The monastery has been damaged many times.
Sometime around 1130, an earthquake destroyed parts of Haghpat Monastery and it was not restored until fifty years later.
It also suffered numerous attacks by armed forces in the many centuries of its existence and from a major earthquake in 1988.
But much of the complex is still intact today without substantial alterations.
The monasteries at Haghpat and Sanahin were chosen as UNESCO World Heritage Sites because:The two monastic complexes represent the highest flowering of Armenian religious architecture, with unique style developed from a mix of elements of Byzantine ecclesiastical architecture and the traditional vernacular architecture of the Caucasian region.

The Lowrey organ is an electronic organ named for its developer, Frederick C. Lowrey (1871-1955).
He was a Chicago-based industrialist and entrepreneur.
It was in 1955, the year he died, that Lowrey's full-sized electronic organ was first commercially successful.
It was called the Model S Spinet or Berkshire.
Lowrey had earlier developed an attachment for a piano.
This added electronic organ stops on 60 notes while keeping the piano functionality.
It was called the Organo.
It was first sold in 1949 It was a successful competitor to the Hammond Solovox.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Lowrey was the largest manufacturer of electronic organs in the world.
In 1989, the Lowrey Organ Company produced its 1,000,000th organ.
Up until 2011, Lowrey organs were built in LaGrange Park, Illinois.
In 2011, it was announced that some models would be made in Indonesia.
From 1918-1940's, Frederick Lowrey experimented with electronic organ design.
He tried different methods of tone generation.
In the 1940s he fixed on the Eccles-Jordan circuit.
This is a stable flip-flop oscillator.
It became a Lowrey hallmark.
The Lowrey organ relied on all-electronic tone generation.
This was different to its main competitor, the Hammond organ.
Hammond used electromechanical tonewheels until 1975.
Lowrey led Hammond in the development of automatic accompaniment features.
In 1968, automatic rhythm was added.
In 1970, the Genie model added automatic left hand and pedal.
Lowrey originally targeted the home entertainment market.
Lowrey also produced theatre organs and a full 2-manual with pedal church organ.
The Beatles' 1967 song "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!"
included use of a Lowrey organ.
It was used to help create a fairground atmosphere.
Mike Oldfield made use of the instrument quite extensively on his Tubular Bells album, and on several later albums as well.
The Gotye song State of the Art was written to showcase the sounds of the Lowrey Cotillion model D-575.
Later Models
From 1966 to 1971, Lowrey produced combo organs for the guitar maker Gibson.
The most popular of these was made in 1966, called the Kalamazoo K-101, but was soon renamed the Gibson G-101.
The Gibson branded organs' design and circuitry were based on Lowrey's "T-1", "T-2", "TLO-R" and "Holiday" spinet models.
They had several additional features that made their sound distinctive from the Lowrey models.
The extra effects included "Repeat", "Glide", and "Trumpet Wow-wow".
In the 1980s, Lowrey launched the MicroGenie series of portable organs.
These had built-in speakers.
Some models could run on batteries.
They including the MicroGenie V60, V100/101, V105, V120, V125 and MicroGenie Pro V600 (which was programmable and had MIDI capability).

Hudhud is a tradition of narrative songs from the Ifugao region of the northern Philippine island of Luzón .
Ifugao is known for its terraced rice fields in the mountains.
This tradition is practiced during rice planting, as well as in funerals and funeral rituals.
The hudhud probably dates from before the seventh century and consists of over 200 stories of 40 episodes each.
The full recitation lasts several days.
As Ifugao has a matrilineal culture, it is usually the wife who leads in these stories, and her brother occupies a higher position than her husband.
Thus, the hudhud has value as an anthropological document.
The language of stories, rich in figurative expressions and repetitions, uses metonymies, metaphors and onomatopoeias, which makes transcription very difficult.
There are very few written documents of this tradition.
The stories evoke ancient heroes, religious beliefs, traditional practices, and reflect the importance of rice cultivation.
The narrators, especially the older women, occupy important positions in the community, as priestesses and as holders of history.
The hudhud epics are alternately sung by the first reciter and the choir.
Attempts to keep Hudhud alive
Ifugao's conversion to Catholicism weakened his traditional culture.
The hudhud has been associated with manual rice harvesting, and this task is now mechanized.
The terraced rice fields are inscribed on the World Heritage List under the name " Terraced Rice Fields of the Philippine Ranges ", the number of farmers is constantly falling.
The last reciters are already very old and need support in their efforts to transmit their knowledge and sensitize young people.
But with support from organizations including the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), the hudhud is increasingly being appreciated by the younger Ifugaos today.
To encourage the involvement of the community and to ensure the continuous practice of the hudhud in its social-cultural context, the Hudhud Perpetual Award was created and launched in 2006.
The annual award encourages the chanting of the stories during harvests, wakes, and bone washing (bogwa) occasions in the participating municipalities.
