The personal growth of child prodigies has traditionally captured a decent share of popular culture, and has over the years been the subject of reasonable historical and sociological inquiry. The tragic story strikes many as a captivating, and defining plotline. The vehicle upon which these personalities enter the public consciousness vary, but the essential elements are always, if perhaps unfairly, amplified. Famous examples include Bobby Fischer, Évariste Galois, David Helfgott, Blaise Pascal, and Arthur Rimbaud. Counter examples, ...

As a boy, Eggleston was introverted and enjoyed playing the piano, drawing, and working with electronics. From an early age, he was drawn to visual media; he reportedly enjoyed buying postcards and cutting out pictures from magazines. Eggleston wa ...

Donohue was a teacher at St. Lucy's Catholic School in Harlem, New York when Vatican Council II occurred. At this time, he began to express concern that the Council conflicted with the teaching of the Church Fathers, although he did not join one of the Traditionalist Catholic organizations. In 1980 he received his doctorate in Sociology from New York University (NYU). His first book was The Politics of the American Civil Liberties Union, and he became associated with the Heritage Foundation. Although primarily critical, his books on ...

In this province, Islam (Sunni and Shiite) is the majority religion. However, there is also a large Christian minority, comprised of Assyrians who have historically lived on the west shore of Lake Urmia, as well as Armenians who are scattered throughout the province.

All of the references to mix tapes cited above come from media sources in the United States, the United Kingdom, or continental Europe. The use of mix tapes in other countries is less documented. However, it seems reasonable to believe that mixes exist wherever access to popular music is combined with a convenient means of recording homemade compilations (although mix tapes may not have been a significant element of the youth culture in such countries). For example, Sarah Erdman's 2003 book Nine Hills to Nambonkaha includes a description of the tape ...

Main article: History of Croatia The Croats are largely Slavic people who lived in an area of what is today Galicia (in northwestern Ukraine and southern Poland). From there they migrated further south to present-day Croatia during the 7th century. Nominally under East Roman and then Frankish authority, Croatia eventually became a strong independent kingdom under king Tomislav in 925, but in 1102 the Croatians ended a decade-long dynastic struggle by agreeing to submit ...

The crown, as finally made, followed closely the standard shape and design of English and British crowns. It contained four half-arches, each joined to the band with a cross pattee into which diamonds were set. The four half-arches met together at a jewelled monde, on top of which a cross sat. Like the State Crown of George I, but unlike St. Edward's Crown, the four half-arches were pulled upright rather than allowed to curve downwards at the monde. The gold and silver crown frame was designed by Philip Liebart of Rundell, Bridge and ...

Many commercially available compilations of pop music, such as those in the consistently best-selling Now That's What I Call Music! series, initially seem to share certain important characteristics with mix tapes. Like many private mixes, a significant number of the earliest pop LPs were essentially collections of popular singles, and such compilation albums have often taken cues from underground mixes of the same era. One example is Disco Par-r-r-ty, the first nonstop dancing LP record, which was released by Spring Records in ...

While the process of recording a mix onto an audio cassette from LPs or compact discs is technically straightforward, many music fans who create more than one mix tape are eventually compelled to confront some of the practical and aesthetic challenges involved in the mix tape format. From a practical standpoint, such issues as avoiding an excessive amount of blank tape at the end of one side (which requires careful planning of the length of each side of the mix) and reducing the audible click between songs (which requires mastery of the paus ...

The term mix originally referred to the recorded output produced by mixing sounds from different audio sources on a broadcast or cinematic soundtrack, or in the recording studio. (The earliest citation of this use by the Oxford English Dictionary is from a 16 March 1932 issue of Wireless World.) Subsequently, it also referred to a live audio mix produced by a club DJ, who would attempt to seamlessly blend two prerecorded songs by using beat-matching and pitch control. A mix tape was the reel-to-reel or cassette re ...
