    Neil Armstrong, 1st man on the moon, dies at 82 (Update) 25 August 2012, by LISA CORNWELL he died. Armstrong commanded the Apollo 11 spacecraft that landed on the moon July 20, 1969, capping the most daring of the 20th century's scientific expeditions. His first words after setting foot on the surface are etched in history books and in the memories of those who heard them in a live broadcast. "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," Armstrong said. In those first few moments on the moon, during the climax of a heated space race with the then-Soviet Union, Armstrong stopped in what he called "a tender moment" and left a patch to commemorate NASA astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts who had died in action. This July 20, 1969 file photo provided by NASA shows Neil Armstrong. The family of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, says he died Saturday, Aug. "It was special and memorable, but it was only 25, 2012, at age 82. A statement from the family says he instantaneous because there was work to do," died following complications resulting from Armstrong told an Australian television interviewer cardiovascular procedures.

  • Large-Scale Strategy and Compositional Design in the Early Music of Genesis
    Copyrighted Material 12 Large-Scale Strategy and Compositional Design in the Early Music of Genesis MARK SPICER Th e title of this chapter might remind some readers of an article by Andrew Mead that appeared in Perspectives of New Music more than two decades ago (Mead 1985), in which the author used sophisticated set-theoretic analytical techniques to dig beneath the surface of Arnold Schoenberg’s music, disclos- ing a “large-scale strategy” at work within several of the twelve-tone composi- tions. Mead had the advantage of writing for a scholarly community already well convinced of Schoenberg’s genius. I suspect the idea of placing the music of the British rock group Genesis in the same league as Schoenberg would be greeted with considerable skepticism—if not downright horror—by many musicologists, and this is certainly not my intent in the present essay. (Alas, it will probably require some drastic revolutions in taste before such early- Genesis classics as “Th e Return of the Giant Hogweed” are admitted into the canon of twentieth-century masterworks.) But I do hope to show that despite being several musical worlds removed from Schoenberg, Genesis’ music is rich, diverse, and equally worthy of our analytical attention. One of the most infl uential and long-lasting of the so-called “progressive rock” bands that emerged in Britain around 1970 in the wake of the Beatles, Genesis is probably better known to most pop-rock fans as the supergroup who made frequent appearances on the Billboard charts during the 1980s and early 1990s, with

Health experts, including the Surgeon General, recommend getting at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity every week. But responsibilities can make it tough to give yourself a solid half hour or more on an average day. It may be more manageable to fit in micro exercise sessions of 5 to 15 minutes a couple of times (or more) during your day. Here are some effective ways to get moving: 1. Take 10 Grab 10 minutes three times a day to do something physical. The American Council on Exercise recommends this routine: Morning: Start your day with bodyweight exercises such as push-ups, lunges and squats. Afternoon: Enjoy a brisk walk during your break. Evening: Gently stretch for 10 minutes. Include 2. intervals Alternating between moderate- and high-intensity interval workouts can boost cardiovascular health. During a 15-minute walk, speed up for two to three minutes to raise your heart rate, then return to a moderate tempo. Make time for two 15-minute walks every day. Reconsider your 3. commute Can you safely walk or bike to destinations like work, school or the grocery store? If not, snag the spot in the farthest corner of the parking lot, skip the elevator and take the stairs, or walk the shopping cart back to the store after you load your car instead of using the cart corral.

In fact, however, he could not write about his experiences in the war--the firebombing of Dresden in particular--for twenty­ three years, after writing five novels. As numerous critics have noted and Vonnegut himself has alluded, the destruction of Dresden was the destruction of Kurt Vonnegut. He went to war with a world view founded on order, stability, and justice, but encountered a world filled with insanity, absurdity, and irrationality.
