John Dowland - Go, Crystal Tears from Book of Songs, Book 1 for solo voice and lute

1) In the beginning, it was strange and even a little bit uncomfortable to listen to it because it is so different from the music that I usually listen to. I never listen to such old music, so it took a few moments for me to open up my heart and mind to the music. I knew that the sound was beautiful, but because it was so unusual compared to what I usually listen to, it did not immediately attract my attention. When this initial shock wore off, I let myself sink into the song even more deeply. I ...

These studies aid in providing practical and technical perspectives and approaches in dealing and solving societal challenges.

Globalization and changing environment lead to improvement of cultural interactions between people and, thus, require new approaches to education. The diversity in schools and universities and different cultural and family background of students result in the new role of a teacher as a "guide" who is able to perceive each of his students as an individual with a personal set of skills and is able to find to each of them personal educational approach. It is especially challenging for early education when children just learn to interact with each other and to be tolerant. The terms "diversity" and "cultural ...

Art-related disciplines are critical to educating citizens and students of every age. Nevertheless, the arts have declined significantly in schools and public participation.

According to Trevino & Nelson (2011, p. 35), fraud does not happen as a coincidence. To be specific, fraud in organizations is usually premeditated and has to happen in the right conditions and members of the organization in authority often set these conditions. As such, identifying the root causes of fraud, which is called fraud deterrence, should be one of the priorities of corporate governance. Since fraud has been a common menace in the history of organizational management, various strategies, government regulations, and acts have been developed to prevent the occurrence of fraud (Giroux, 2013, p. 32).

The relation between the potential difference, electric current, and resistance are represented in the Ohm Law. The Ohm Law consists in the direct relation between the potential difference and the electric current of a basic circuit, where the resistance is the constant value in the relation. Mathematically speaking the Ohm Law is a first-grade equation where the potential difference is the dependent variable, the electric current the independent variable and the resistance a constant value. With a deep analysis of the circuit, the resistances are components inside the circuit that difficult the path of the electric current through the ...

Abstract

A look at the problems that face the world which include wars, disease, and injustice among others would prompt a re-evaluation of the social system that is in place. It is evident that the system has not led to an overall improvement in humanity. The common underlying factor among the various social ills that face the world today is the adoption of capitalism as the predominant mode of production and social ordering. The need to outdo the competition and maximize productivity in order to increase profits as the primary motivation for capitalism makes the system susceptible to abuse hence ...

The exchange rate has become an integral component of modern economics.
