An overtone is a sinusoidal component of a waveform, of greater frequency than its fundamental frequency. Usually the first overtone is the second harmonic, the second overtone is the third harmonic, etc. Use of the term overtone is generally confined to acoustic waves, especially in applications related to music. Despite confused usage, an overtone is either a harmonic or a partial. A harmonic is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency. A partial or inharmonic overtone is a non-integer multiple of a fundamental freq ...

William Overton was a United States district court Judge of Little Rock, Arkansas. He is known for his ruling on Act 590 "The Arkansas' Balanced Treatment Act" in McLean v. Arkansas, which was a law seeking to require the teaching of Creation Science in classrooms. This statute was advocated by its supporters as providing equal treatment of creation science as the Theory of Evolution in the science classrooms. When Judge Overton struck down the Act in 1982, he used the criteria that a scientific theory must be tentative ...

An African American (also Afro-American, Black American, or black), is a member of an ethnic group in the United States whose ancestors, usually in predominant part, were indigenous to Africa. Many African Americans also have European and/or Native American ancestry as well. Some have Asian ancestral backgrounds too. The term tends to refer to West African ancestries; not, for example, to white or Arab African ancestry, such as Moroccan or white South African ancestry. This is so even though there is huge g ...

In acoustics and telecommunication, the harmonic of a wave is a component frequency of the signal that is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency. For a sine wave, it is an integer multiple of the frequency of the wave. For example, if the frequency is f, the harmonics have frequency 2f, 3f, 4f, etc. In musical terms, harmonics are component pitches of a harmonic tone which sound at whole number multiples above, or "within", the named note being played on a musical instrument. Non-integer mu ...

Bicycle messengers (also known as cycle couriers) have carried packages by bicycle for more than a century, but it wasn't until the 1980s and 1990s that bicycle messengers became cultural icons. With its combination of high risk and low payoff, bike messengering is often seen as the quintessential youth culture job. The urban antihero overtones and sleek fashions (such as tattoos, cut-off shorts, and rugged shoulder satchels) are emblematic of bike messenger sub-culture; however, in many cities the level of professionalism and pay scale has increased. Some couriers retain their j ...

The xiá (俠) is a righteous person who excels in personal combat and may use their armed expertise to right social unfairness or injustice (鋤強扶弱). Xiá could be roughly compared to "chivalry" and identified with the Western concept of knights and knighthood, although they are not strictly interchangeable. The feudalist overtones are wholly missing from the Chinese concept; unlike a knight, the xiá ("chivalrous man") need not serve a lord or hold any military power; neither are they required to be from an arist ...

Bukkake is a group sex practice wherein a series of men take turns ejaculating on a woman. There are strong overtones of erotic humiliation in this practice. Usually in bukkake videos, a woman will sit and allow a group of men (sometimes more than a dozen) to come up to her and openly masturbate until they ejaculate on her body (usually on her face and mouth). The woman leaves the semen on her face as another man comes to repeat the routine. Often the scene ends with the woman swallowing the semen gathered. Producers of these films of ...

The willow flute, also known as sallow flute or overtone flute (Norwegian seljefløyte, Swedish sälgflöjt), is a Scandinavian folk flute, or whistle, consisting of a simple tube with a transverse fipple mouthpiece and no finger holes. The mouthpiece is typically constructed by inserting a grooved plug into one end of the tube, and cutting an edged opening in the tube a short distance away from the plug. The willow flute is played by varying the force of the air blown into the mouthpiece, with the e ...

Overtone singing - Tuva. The best-known of the traditional forms comes from Tuva, a small autonomous republic within the Russian Federation. The history of throat singing, or khoomei as it is called, reaches too far back for anyone alive to accurately discern. Ethnomusicologists studying throat singing in these areas mark khoomei as an integral part in the ancient pastoral animism that is still practised today. Harmonics are universal ...

America and Europe – The 1920s Texan singer of cowboy songs, Arthur Miles, independently created a style of throat singing as a substitute for the normal yodeling of country western music. Starting in the 1970s, some musicians in the West either have collaborated with or ventured into the realm of throat singing, or both, some making original musical contributions and helping this art rediscover its transcultural universality. As harmonics are universal to all voices, the notion of authenticity is best understood in terms of musical ...

The fundamental is the frequency at which the entire wave vibrates. Overtones are other sinusoidal components present at frequencies above the fundamental. All of the frequency components that make up the total waveform, including the fundamental and the overtones, are called partials. Overtones which are perfect integer multiples of the fundamental are called harmonics. When an overtone is near to being harmonic, but not exact, it is sometimes called a harmonic partial, although they are often referred to simply as harmonics. Sometimes overtones are created that are not anywhere ...
