    Vol 460|27 August 2009 BOOKS & ARTS Bridging the gender gap in Indian science A set of biographies reveals the trials and triumphs of India’s women researchers, says Asha Gopinathan. Lilavati was the clever daughter of the twelfth- century Indian mathematician Bhaskara II. A well-known mathematician in her own right, she inspired generations of Indian women. Bhaskara’s famous book on mathematics was R. RAMASWAMY named after her, and he addressed many of its verses to her. Lilavati’s Daughters spotlights women based in India who have pursued research in science, engineering and mathemat- ics from the late nineteenth century to today. A collection of 98 short biographies, the book stems from a project initiated by the Women in Science panel of the Indian Acad- emy of Sciences, Bangalore, to provide young girls with inspiring role models (see www.ias. ac.in/womeninscience). The diverse personal stories span many disciplines and regions of India — and are inspiring. The earliest chronological entry is for Anandibai Joshi, the first Indian woman to go abroad and study to become a doctor.

  • We Might Be Giants Blood Mobile .Mp3 Download Free They Might Be Giants
    we might be giants blood mobile .mp3 download free They Might Be Giants. They Might Be Giants (TMBG) are an American alternative rock band formed in 1982 in Brooklyn, New York, United States by John Flansburgh (vocals, guitar) and John Linnell (vocals, keyboards, accordion). During TMBG's early years Flansburgh and Linnell were frequently accompanied by a drum machine. In the early nineties, TMBG became a full band. Currently, the members of TMBG are Flansburgh, Linnell, Marty Beller, Dan Miller, and Danny Weinkauf. They are best known for an unconventional and experimental style of alternative music. Over their career, the group has found success on the modern rock and CMJ charts. More recently they have found success in the children's music genre, and in theme music for several television programs and films. To date, TMBG have released 14 studio albums. Flood has been certified platinum and their children's music album Here Come the ABCs has been certified gold. The band also won a Grammy Award in 2002 for their song "Boss of Me", which served as the theme to Malcolm in the Middle. The band has sold over 4 million records. Linnell and Flansburgh (often nicknamed "the two Johns" or "John and John") first met as teenagers growing up in Lincoln, Massachusetts. They began writing songs together while attending Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School but didn't officially form a band at that time. The two attended separate colleges after high school (Flansburgh attended Pratt Institute), and Linnell joined The Mundanes, a New Wave group from Rhode Island.

  • Childrens Songs Paper Final Final
    Kindergrass Four Songs Composed for Children with Poems by Shel Silverstein by Forrest Marowitz A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, Bachelor of Arts (Music) Colorado College March 12, 2013 Approved by Date Ofer Ben-Amots Date Victoria Lindsay Levine Date Diana Anderson 2 Kindergrass Four Songs Composed for Children with Poems by Shel Silverstein For my capstone project, I have set four poems by Shel Silverstein to music for children. This project combines two areas of study, music composition and music education. Raising the standard for music education in America is a strong personal interest, and my overall goal is to compose educational as well as entertaining music for young children. Each song is interactive in some way, and has been recorded with the help of both professional musicians and young children. This paper describes how I created the project, from composing the songs to learning musical pedagogy. The paper is presented in five sections. The first section introduces general music education for young children, followed by a biography of Shel Silverstein and analyses of the four poems I selected. The third section discusses children’s albums, while the fourth section describes the composition and recording process I underwent during this project. A conclusion section revisits the objectives of my project as well as summarizes my experiences during this time. Music Education For Young Children At its basic level, educating children in music is not much different from educating adults. In fact, since children have a higher propensity for learning new information than adults, it would seem natural for people to be exposed to music theory at a young age.
