May: Rock Talk May: Rock Talk There are many different types of rocks that are in McHenry County. How many do you know? Become a Geologist and check out the following activities to learn more about rocks. Finish up by visiting a McHenry County Conservation District site to see how many different rocks you can find! Remember, that all rocks must stay where you find them at the conservation sites. Check out the following activities to learn about the different kinds of rocks. Then take your knowledge outdoors and see what you can find! Activity 1: What are the different kinds of rocks? Activity 2: Test out different rock experiments like a geologist! Activity 3: Go on a rock scavenger hunt! May Activities Rock Talk Activity 1: What’s the difference? Have you ever found a cool looking rock when you go out for a walk somewhere? What was so cool about it? What made you want to look at it? Did you know what kind of rock it was? Rocks can come in all shapes, colors and sizes, but all rocks belong in one of the following categories. 1. Igneous 2. Sedimentary 3. Metamorphic How a rock gets put into one of these categories depends on how it was made. 1. Igneous rocks are formed when lava, or magma, cools, hardens, and then turns solid. Granite is one of the most common types of igneous rocks. 2. Sedimentary rocks form when layers of sediment are pressed together. Limestone is one of the most common types of sedimentary rocks. 3. Metamorphic rocks form from other rocks that have changed under heat and pressure. Marble is a common type of metamorphic rock. Now that you know the different types of rocks, you are now a Geologist! A Geologist is a scientist who studies different types of rocks and minerals. Check out the next activities to learn more about these cool rocks! Activity 2: Test it Out! Check out the following experiments and test out different rock properties. Be sure that whatever rocks you use came from a place where it’s ok to take rocks home. Experiment: Sink or Float? Materials needed: A container filled half way with water, 5 different rocks. Try to pick rocks that look and feel different. Directions: We will be testing to see if different rocks sink or float. Take a moment and make a prediction about what will happen to each rock when you put it in the water. Now take each rock one at a time and gently place them into the water. Did each rock sink or float in the water? Circle your observations below. Rock 1: Sink or Float? 3 Rock 2: Sink or Float? Rock 3: Sink or Float? Rock 4: Sink or Float? Rock 5: Sink or Float? Pumice is a type of rock that has pores throughout it and this allows this particular rock to float in water! Activity 2 Continued: Test it Out! Limestone is the bedrock of McHenry County, which means that our county lies on a solid layer of limestone. Remember, limestone is a type of sedimentary rock, so it looks like it has layers. Limestone is usually tan or yellow in color. For our next experiment, you will need to find a piece of limestone. If you don’t have one on hand, usually some can be found at a gardening store. Limestone Test Materials Needed: 3 clear containers with regular distilled vinegar, a piece of limestone, 2 rocks that are not limestone. Step 1: Fill all 3 clear containers with regular distilled white vinegar. Limestone Step 2: Take each rock one at a time and place them into each of the clear containers. Be sure that the vinegar covers each rock. Step 3: Wait a few minutes and make observations of any reactions or changes that you see. Write them down below. Activity 2 Continued: Test it Out! In the space below, draw what you see each rock doing in the container of vinegar. Limestone Rock #2 Rock #3 Did you notice that something different happened to the limestone rock in vinegar? We know that vinegar is an acid but something we might not have known is that limestone contains something called calcium carbonate. As the vinegar interacts with the calcium carbonate in the limestone, it releases carbon dioxide -- and when carbon dioxide is released in a liquid, it forms bubbles. Activity 3: Scavenger Hunt and Journal Now take your knowledge to the outdoors! Go on a rock scavenger hunt and bring the next sheet of paper with you. As you find each rock, answer the questions on the next page! Can You Find…? ________ A rock with red colors in it ________ A rock with blue colors in it ________ A rock with green colors in it ________ A rock with speckles of different colors in it ________ A rock that has layers ________ A rock with pointy/sharp edges ________ A rock that is completely smooth Activity 3 Continued: Scavenger Hunt and Journal After finding each rock on the scavenger hunt, fill out the following questions about each rock. If you would like, you can print out multiple copies of this page and dedicate each page to a single rock that you find. Size of the rock (small, medium, large): Color of the rock: Shape of the rock (draw a picture): The rock feels (cold, hard, soft, warm, etc): Interested in learning more about rocks?

  • A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia by Laura
    The Art of the Hustle: A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia by Laura L. Bunting-Hudson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 Laura L. Bunting-Hudson All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Art of the Hustle: A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia Laura L. Bunting-Hudson How do rap artists in Bogota, Colombia come together to make music? What is the process they take to commodify their culture? Why are some rappers able to become socially mobile in this process, while others are less so? What is technology’s role in all of this? This ethnography explores those questions, as it carefully documents the strategies utilized by various rap groups in Bogota, Colombia to create social mobility, commoditize products and to create a different vision of modernity within the hip-hop community, as an alternative to the ideals set forth by mainstream Colombian society. Resistance Art Poetry (RAP), is said to have originated in the United States but has become a form of international music. In conducting ethnographic research from December of 2012 to October 2014, I was able to discover how rappers organize themselves politically, how they commoditize their products and distribute them to create various types of social mobilities. In this dissertation, I constructed models to typologize rap groups in Bogota, Colombia, which I call polities of rappers to discuss how these groups come together, take shape, make plans and execute them to reach their business goals.

Abstract This single-case study explores the use of popular music in response to the destruction of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina in August, 2005. Using research in sociology of disaster and uses and gratifications theory in mass communication, data collected included original music written in response to the hurricane, major benefit concerts that aired in the wake, and re-appropriated music that developed new meaning when used in conjunction to the case. Analysis yielded that popular music was used to raise awareness, raise funds, and express emotion following the disaster. Common themes throughout include the impact of genre on how this was accomplished and the messages it yielded, the power of collective effervescence, and the importance of space and place when dealing with tragedy through music. ‘DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO MISS NEW ORLEANS?’ THE USE OF POPULAR MUSIC AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA by Jennifer Billinson B.A., Indiana University, 2006 M.A., Syracuse University, 2009 Dissertation Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mass Communications Syracuse University August 2016 Copyright © Jennifer Billinson 2016 All Rights Reserved Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction p.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.
