Class/Genre: Romance Mystery Historical Romantic Suspense
Jove, Feb 2005, $7.99, 368 pp.
While Queen Victoria grieves the loss of her beloved Albert and the members of Polite Society emulate her wearing mourning jewelry, physical research is the rage. When Adam Hardesty enters medium Elizabeth Delmonts home, he finds her dead, her skull crushed by a poker. She is wearing a wedding veil and brooch with a broken pocket watch nearby stopped at 12 oclock.
The next day Adam visits Caroline Fordyce who attended a séance at the victims home just hours before the murder occurred. He asks Caroline if she took a diary that belonged to the medium because he does not want secrets about his past to come out. Caroline insists she does not have it and fears her secrets will become known. She persuades Adam to allow her to join him on his investigation. When a second medium is murdered, the broken watch left behind at the crime scene has Adams name on it. Caroline provides Adam an alibi. As they continue to make in quiries, they become lovers and try to keep the other safe struggling with the case.
Amanda Quick is deservedly respected for her terrific Regency romantic suspense novels, but in WAIT UNTIL MIDNIGHT, the talented author switches settings to the Victorian era yet maintains high quality of her previous historical romantic mysteries. Her latest tale has a gothic feel to the plot, but as expected the hero and heroine are likable characters whom readers will become absorbed in their investigation as much as their evolving relationship that ultimately turns to love, danger, and risk. Regardless of the time per iod, Ms. Quick provides a fabulous tale that seems always to land on the keeper shelf.

Pop Paradise
Wednesday, January 16, 2013 - Saturday, March 2, 2013
From Wednesday, January 16 to Saturday, March 2, 2013, the Lamont Gallery at Phillips Exeter Academy will present Pop Paradise: Works by Dave Lefner, Kelly Reemtsen and Robert Townsend, an exhibition of works by three California artists who explore themes of nostalgia, optimism, and the sweet selectivity of memory in dynamic paintings and printmaking. This exhibition will include 33 works of reduction prints, oil on panel, watercolor and archival prints.
Dave Lefner, Circus Liquors, woodcut reduction, Edition 1/5, 2011
Lefner is an artist intent on capturing the quickly changing face of the urban landscape through his colorful reduction linocut prints. As a college student, he discovered printmaking. After graduating from California State University, Lefner began to focus his creative energies on linocut print; he discovered reduction linocuts after studying a linoleum block series created by Pablo Picasso in the 1950s. The source of his work came to him while driving from "The Valley" into Hollywood: "The urban landscape will always be my muse. . . . There were these old mom-and-pop liquor stores in the valley. People drive by every day and no one pays attention, but there would be this great neon sign, a little rusted and broken-down, but it still casts these amazing shadows at certain times of the day," he says. Lefner has exhibited at the LA Art Show, the Museum of Neon Art and Skidmore Contemporary Art.
Kelly Reemtsen, Failure to Engage, Oil on panel, 2011
Reemtsen's paintings explore the paradoxical state of being female in a post-feminist contemporary society. Her iconic image is of a woman clothed in the era of Eisenhower and Kennedy administration party dresses. Often, the woman holds a tool usually associated with masculinity. In other works, a woman appears to be falling through space. Reemtsen describes these figures as "falling out of love and/or falling short of expectations." Each woman with a tool—usually for a home improvement project—offers the impression of "taking care of business." Women painted with tools are also perceived as symbols of feminine empowerment. Reemtsen's immaculately dressed subjects are viewed as heroines, receiving their guests after finishing yard work and cleaning the house. Her signature style of brightly colored dresses and opulent jewelry connote optimism and youthfulness. Reemtsen describes her work as images of feminine independence and empowerment: "My work is about girl power that depicts grace and beauty. This is all said in the sweetest and most sincere voice. I do not see it as a feminist statement and it is not about housewives. It is about the modern girl feeling empowered, looking great and getting 'the job' or her job done. The tools are used to show strength and to represent using and doing whatever it takes to be extraordinary," she says. Reemtsen studied painting at Otis-Parsons in Los Angeles, and fashion design, fine art and painting at California State University Long Beach. Her works have been exhibited at Skidmore Contemporary Art, David Klein Gallery, The Armory Show Modern in New York, Art Platform—Los Angeles and ArtAspen.
Robert Townsend, Blue Impala with Sprinkles, Watercolor on paper, 2009
Townsend's work captures the vivid Americana of the past. "More than anything, I think my work is about vernacular culture. It is concerned with ordinary domestic and functional objects or themes . . . I seem to be concerned with expressing a generally American and specifically Southern California voice. As for the Californian—the elements are the weather, car culture, surf culture and the general lack of historical reference," he says.
Lamont Gallery Director Lauren O'Neal says, "Pop Paradise will offer a much-needed infusion of color and vitality to the New England winter, and we are thrilled to be showcasing the work of Dave Lefner, Kelly Reemtsen and Robert Townsend. The exhibition will inspire visitors to reflect on their own memories of everyday culture from times past, from the first color television and first party dress, to much-loved childhood trips to the candy store."

Now who will succeed Weis at Florida?
One of the targets might be Mike Shula, the former Alabama quarterback and head coach, according to a Gainesville (Fla.) Sun report.
Shula, now the quarterbacks coach with the Charlotte Panthers, is one of six names mentioned as possibilities in the report, which said he already has been contacted by Florida head coach Will Muschamp and might be the No. 1 target.
The other candidates mentioned are former Florida quarterback Kerwin Bell, now the head coach at Jacksonville University; Todd Monken, the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State; Jedd Fisch, the offensive coordinator at Miami; Brian White, the running backs coach at Florida; and Al Borges, the offensive coordinator at Michigan. Borges was the offensive coordinator at Auburn when Muschamp was the defensive coordinator there.
Shula, 46, was Alabama's head coach from 2003-06. In four seasons, his record was 26-24, although it officially is recognized as 10-24 because of victories vacated by an NCAA ruling. His only winning season was in 2005, when the Crimson Tide went 10-2.
Shula, the son of Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Don Shula, was Alabama's starting quarterback from 1984-86.

for your hard work pumping.
Problems will never be solved if the people who have the ability to solve the problems never hear about them. So, definitely bring this to the appropriate personnel's attention (probably HR) and work with them to get a remedy. That being said, be willing to compromise. I would be sensative to how others perceive breastmilk in a common area, rightly or wrongly. Have you tried putting the milk in another bag/container so that people won't know what is inside?
I had a co-worker at one time whose wife did daycare out of their home. He was commenting about how one of the mothers brought ebm for her baby. He was grossed out that his wife just threw it in their freezer with the rest of their food. Another co-worker mentioned that his wife should get a dark container to store it in in the freezer for his peace of mind. She then went on to say that he apparently did not know that her bm was in the shared refrigerator here at work with everyone else's food every day. She just put it in a dark container and no one knew what was in there. For some reason, that did not seem to bother anyone as much as the thought of bags of milk touching things in the fridge did.
Good luck!

From this link
"Are special precautions needed for handling breast milk?
CDC does not list human breast milk as a body fluid for which most healthcare personnel should use special handling precautions. Occupational exposure to human breast milk has not been shown to lead to transmission of HIV or HBV infection. However, because human breast milk has been implicated in transmitting HIV from mother to infant, gloves may be worn as a precaution by health care workers who are frequently exposed to breast milk (e.g., persons working in human milk banks)."
If the CDC says it's not a bodily fluid -- who is Bertha to say it is? She is in dire need of education regarding breastmilk, storage, confidentiality and additionally supervisory skills.
Can you maybe pick up a nylon lunch bag? They're lightweight and can just roll up in your purse.
Something like this looks appropriate in a fridge, will allow the EBM to keep cold and will keep prying eyes out of your business.
I agree that Bertha needs to be educated by HR.

Free Tanning, Movie Theaters, Pool: Dorm Life for the McMansion Generation
Dawn Wotapka reports:
Erase the image of the concrete-and-steel dormitory tower where you had to sport flip flops in the communal bathroom. Instead, picture a resort: At Vista del Sol, a dorm in development at Arizona State University there's a pool and sundeck with lounge cabanas, free tanning, a movie theater and social lounge with flat-screen televisions.
In today's WSJ I write about student housing, a niche sector considered a bright spot in the dark housing crash. (Indeed, American Campus Communities and Education Realty Trust, two public operators, boast returns topping 10% so far this year, which some experts expect to be a sour one for real estate investment trusts.)
That's because campus landlords can chant something most others cannot: Build it and they will come. As the majority of high-school graduates seek degrees, enrollment is projected to climb to 20.4 million in 2016, up nearly 42% in 25 years. In 2020, Arizona State University expects to have 100,000 students duking it out for just 22,500 beds.
But many schools would rather spend their money on things like upgrading classrooms and facilities, and scholarships. So, Arizona State struck a deal with American Campus to build and operate more campus housing. The first, Vista del Sol, has about 2,000 beds that debut next month. They've been booked for months, and there's a waiting list.
"It's just bananas how nice it is there," said 22-year-old James Kindle, a senior who has lived in Arizona State's older facilities. "…The dorm I lived in and Vista del Sol are not in the same league."
College kids don't have unlimited bank accounts — even if mom and dad are footing the bill — so monthly rent, which ranges from $450 to $1,000, is comparable with the school's newest traditional dorms. The $130 million project is designed to not only retain and recruit students, but to cater to the McMansion generation that grew up with spacious bedrooms and personal showers.
"I wouldn't say they're spoiled. It's just they've been raised differently," said Michael Coakley, the school's Associate Vice President and Executive Director of University Housing. "Doubled loaded corridors with shared bathrooms, not really their scene."

Skip to comments.Andrea Yates could be freed by the end of this year
Posted on 06/20/2011 4:28:53 PM PDT by Niuhuru
A mother who shocked America by drowning her five children in the bathtub may be freed by the end of the year, according to her lawyer.
Andrea Yates systematically murdered her children, aged between six months and seven years, at her suburban Clear Lake, Texas, home ten years ago today.
She then dialled 911 and told the first police officer who arrived at the house: 'I just killed my kids.'
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
The detestable Perky One will be thrilled. No doubt where Yates will land for an interview.
Out by the end of the year?
Did she plea down to Providing Swimming Lessons Without a Permit?
This woman was really a case of Post Partnum depression.
Her bizzare family refused to follow through with mental health treatment that she had begun, especially anti psychotic depression medicine.
Her husband insisted she also Home school all the children AFTER she already had several breakdowns.
I really feel this woman, now no doubt having received help for her mental illness, will leave jail realizing what she did.
A horrible tragedy that did not need to happen.
Before medicine and treatment for Post Partum Depression this occurence was much more frequent in the past and usually women who had this illness were put into "insane asylums" forever, and never received help ( cause there wasn't any treatment 70 years ago.
She belongs in a cold dark damp cage.
Andrea Yates was found guilty in the first trial but the verdict was overturned on appeal becausse of erroneous testimony. The 2nd trial she was found not guilty by reason of insanity and was placed in a mental hospital. She would be released at the point in time the shrinks determined she was no longer insane. I guess that determination has been reached.
***SIGH***, liberalism is definately a mental disorder. This women murdered her children, one by one, but, you know, it was just a mental disorder, so it really wasn't her fault...SHEESH!
This women should be executed or at least spend the rest of her life in prison.
I prefer execution for murderers.
I agree with you. IMO, it's the husband who should have gone to jail. If you know the whole story, he was apparently a tyrant who kept impregnating her when she kept going into severe depressions with each pregnancy.
He never gave her a hand with the kids or the home schooling—just demanded that she do. It must have been a living hell for her.
I certainly hope she's been declared an unfit mother and not allowed to keep any if she has more.
A number of years ago a local woman drowned three of her children and went to a state hospital.
Years later she was released, had three more children and then drowned them.
There are many mentally ill who are not killers.
I do not think that mental illness is a excuse not to execute. The propensity to kill is there, and the public needs to be protected.
The husband was useless and should have been charged with criminal neglect of mother and children. As for the madwoman, she has something beyond postpartum psychosis, needs to stay locked down.
Wowwww, she had a good lawyer.
When you know the whole story it is sickening and so tragic.
The Mental Health professionals and her doctors told the family she should not get pregnant again and begged the family to bring her and cooperate with treatment. The husband is one weird man, I can't imagine any caring husband and father doing what he did.
Read the whole story and you will have a different view.
This is not a woman who just wanted to dump her kids, as in other stories. This woman had a psychotic depression. If you knew even the slightest about mental illness, you would be able to tell the difference. Also, it is very difficult to get an insanity defence.
But then, 70 years ago we just killed "mental defectives"..maybe you want to go back to that? And it was the PROGRESSIVES who wanted to kill mentally ill people, as well as pushing abortion for " defectives".
What a state Texas is, kill your kids and get away with it.
Postpartum depression can create such a situation.
Most medical professions are very, very concerned about this illness. In this case, the doctors pleaded with the husband and family for this woman to get help, not have more children and take medicine. The husband and family deliberately refused all that.
I'm sure Oprah has her aides all over her, just like she is gunning for Jaycee Dugard.
You, also do not know this story.
Read the whole account and then make such an off the cuff remark.
hopefully they won't release her
"This woman was really a case of Post Partnum depression."
No, it was the more severe diagnosis of Post Partum Psychosis. It has been proven that the dumping of hormones can, in rare cases, become so severe after childbirth, for months, that the mother can have a break with reality and be compelled to act in ways harmful to herself and children. Her husband did not get her the help she needed.
That you don't understand that doesn't matter.
BTW, her control freak husband wasted no time remarrying and started having more kids.
We have the death penalty in TX...do you have it in your state?
I talked once with my therapist about this woman at the time of the murders and (because I was diagnosed as mentally ill) he told me that he had taken a look at the psychological profile of Yates and it apparently pointed out that she lacked empathy and had several traits that killers (cold blooded) usually have. She was hardly just mentally ill. If she ends up killing again (likely), I am more than hopeful that next time around, she gets death. Her husband isn't at fault, according to many, he suggested putting the kids in normal schooling, but she wouldn't agree to it.
I'm hopeful they don't. This had to have been premeditated; she locked the doors, blocked off escape routes, and had to chase the last kid around the house until she cuaght him. This wasn't something spontaneous.
Same here; I doubt she will manage to find any interested suitors or men interested in going within a mile of her. She shoudl just stay locked up.
We are both correct...
It was a case of Psychotic Post Partum Depression...a Post Partum Depression can BECOME Psychotic Depression...
Now, could you please explain that again to the posters that think she "got away " with murder. They don't believe this could happen.
Don't get me wrong, I believe that some folks do suffer from these illnesses, but in this day and age, (the past 30 years, perhaps), too many criminals have been getting off on legal technicalities because of their so-called mental illness; sorry, FRiend, but murder is murder, it's the taking of another human life, and regardless of the reason, the guilty need to be held accountable and be punished accordingly.
I don't want to kill anyone, I just want justice served.
Your therapist should have taken a look at her husband's psychological profile.
I hope you changed therapists.
Thanks for that post...I forgot about him remarrying and having more kids.
Lots of women go through it and they don't kill their kids. Usually they end up crying their hearts out, yelling at their husbands, and sulking and feeling self pity. Most others would torch themselves rather than lay a hand on their kids to harm them.
It used to be that people lived in communities worthy of the name, and had extended families and friends who helped one another out. That sort of society probably provided more real help to women with post-partum issues than our broken society. We have people living in their own little castles, which sounds good but doesn't lend itself to dealing with situations like this where a helpful friend or family member could have made all the difference in the world.
In America, crazy people are exempt from punishment. There is a cottage industry to make excuses for this trash.
I once mentioned that mental illness, being in a category different from usual cases of murder, usually end up acquitted. I stated on a thread about Jared Loughner (Tucson shooter) that insanity should be punished in an entirely different way, not used as an excuse to let someone off of the hook.
Get another therapist.
As to your idea that the husband wanted the kids in 'normal schooling", uh, not.
I don't care what your excuse is, you murder five kids you need to be put down.
This Freudian nonsense that treats people like machines excuses all kinds of horrific behavior. When you excuse and justify evil you wind up with a lot more of it.
Having had to deal with crazy people for some time, I think there is a HUGE need to start getting these loonies in line.
Remember, too, I think some of the time he had her homeschooling, they were living in a school bus.
That's enough to drive anybody in their right mind ...crazy! LOL!
Well, golly, then lets go back 70 years and just kill mentally ill people..cause that is where this line of thinking goes. And eye for an eye...right?
you are wrong, that the insanity defence is NOT easy to get off on...and the statistics prove that. the person is still held accountable. this woman WAs punished.
You want justice served? ha. She will live with this for the rest of her life...now that she is not psychotic and can see what she did.
I agree.
People bash the husband for not knowing, well, how does anyone think he felt, coming home to the police and the bodies of his children? Think that wouldn't wreck the lives of a guy? Think that a man wouldn't want to move on? She KILLED those kids and in some fuzzy way, knew what she was doing. She killed them methodically and systematically and chased the last kid down who was screaming for his life. There's a difference between the baby blues and being a killer.
Ok, you have no idea of different types of mental illness.Can't help you there.
to avoid future ignorance on this topic I humbly suggest you read about " Postpartum Depression."
I will, but really, she needed to be put down.
"You want justice served? ha. She will live with this for the rest of her life...now that she is not psychotic and can see what she did."
Good - maybe she'll wake up, take her own life, and we can be done with this loser.
Afraid of mental illness?
Mental Illness is not an excuse, no one said she was not guilty of her actions.
Living with what she did is worse than any punishment a court could hand down.
This poor, crazy woman, huh?
How can anyone assign guilt to someone other than the perpetrator?? This woman drowned her 5 children...did her husband tell her to? He may of been a domineering husband but what happened to personal responsibility?
Come-on FRiend, maybe I don't understand all of the circumstances, but I do know that people need to be accountable for their own actions!
And here in Oregon we do have the death penalty, but we're too liberal to execute anyone..:=(
I bet you're a Christian too...ha, you are so sensitve and charming, much be a delight to all your friends.
Yes, the husband was fanatical and a tyrant. Very sad case, didn't have to happen.
I do know the story....Five kids are dead....she killed them....end of story.
Your charm is to accommodate murderers. Good luck with that.
If she is aware of evil and repentant, why not let her watch your kids?

I can't remember how I found Pentangle, but it was back in high school. Of course, like everything else, they're on Youtube. They are an odd and fuzzy bunch. But Jacqui has a voice that seems to know no bounds at all, the bass is extraordinary, and they manage to infuse an old-time English sensibility with some remarkable jazz jamming. I used to listen to these songs by the hour.
Cruel sister (with John Renbourne on guitar)
Hunting song - 13th century - listen to the round at the end
People on the highway
Train song - Rockin blues
Traveling song
Wedding Dress
Will the circle be unbroken - best version ever

Much of Pentangle has been remastered and is on iTunes. "Lykewake" makes me shiver every single time.
Deb Grabien is a fabulous writer of mysteries with musical themes. Her Haunted Ballad series includes one called Cruel Sister. Full disclosure - Deb's a friend, but her books are mesmerizing and full of musical delights.

I remember how I found Pentangle. It was Jerry Garcia, in an early interview, mentioning their name as a band that was true to authentic folk roots in the English tradition. Wonderful band!

Monday practice update
Willie Mitchell did some post-practice skating today. Afterward, Mitchell said he had a slight groin strain and estimated that he is now at 75 percent, which is encouraging for his short-term prospects of playing, but Mitchell will not play tomorrow. Mike Richards rode a stationary bike and "feels better," Terry Murray said, but that's the only update there.
As for the lines, Murray said his motivations were to reunite the Kopitar line and to move Dustin Brown back to left wing, where he had looked effective. More notes and quotes to come, and don't forget the Jim Fox chat on LAKings.com at 1 p.m.

[[folder:The Zyurangers]]
!!!'''Geki/Tyranno Ranger''' | [-Actor: Yuuta Mochizuki-]
The Prince of Yamato Tribe, 'Warrior of Justice'. He was raised believing that the King of the Yamato Tribe was his father, until it turns out he was ''adopted'' from the King's sworn enemy, the Black Knight. His natural brother Burai antagonizes him for being raised by their real father's old enemy, but Geki successfully convinced him to bury the hatchet of hate. He wields the Ryugekiken and after Burai's death, he dual wields it with Burai's Zyusouken.
* {{Badass}}: Throughout the series he does things that make [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Jason]] blush.
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Burai's Cain, at first.
* ChangelingFantasy: Reversed.
* GratuitousEnglish: His royal title is ''Purinsu'', not ''Ōji''.
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: His Guardian Beast Tyrannosaurus is the only mecha that can fight giant-sized Dora Monsters by itself and finish them off occasionally (since it's the only bipedal type out of the main five).
* TheLeader
* ObliviousAdoption
* SuperMode: Armed Tyranno Ranger
* TyrannosaurusRex: His Guardian Beast.
* WarriorPrince
* WeaponOfChoice
** CoolSword: Ryugekiken[[note]]''Dragon Strike Sword''[[/note]]
** TakeUpMySword: After Burai's death, Geki inherits his arsenal and uses them to become Armed Tyranno Ranger:
*** MixAndMatchWeapon: [[MagicalFlutist Zyusou]][[KnifeNut ken]][[note]]''Beast Instrument Dagger''[[/note]]
*** PoweredArmor: Dragon Armor
** DualWielding: When using the Ryugekiken and Zyusouken together.
!!!'''Goushi/Mammoth Ranger''' | [-Actor: Seiju Umon (credited under the pseudonym Aohisa Takayasu)-]
A Knight of the Sharma Tribe and Warrior of Wisdom. Was once Geki's boone companion before being sealed. Raised with his sister Otome, who eventually [[StuffedInTheFridge died fighting Bandora]], inspiring him further.
* GeniusBruiser: Is a pretty powerful powerhouse and is very into lore and reading.
* TheLancer
* {{Revenge}}
* TheSmartGuy: Just look at his title, god damn it.
* SwissArmyWeapon: Moth Breaker
** AnAxeToGrind: Standard mode
** HandCannon: Laser Rifle Mode
!!!'''Dan/Tricera Ranger''' | [-Actor: Hideki Fujiwara-]
A Knight from the Etof Tribe and the Warrior of Courage. A happy-go-lucky jokester guy who's HotBlooded and likes to slack off, though once he set his sight on something noble, he'd never stop pursuing it.
* BifurcatedWeapon: Tricelance
** [[DoubleWeapon Double]] [[ProngsOfPoseidon Prong]]: Standard mode.
** DualWielding: Can split into two spears.
* TheBigGuy: Moreso on his HotBlooded tendencies and bravado, though.
* CasanovaWannabe: Likes chasing girls, without much success
* {{Expy}}: On [[Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman the previous show]], his actor Hideki Fujiwara played a blue birdman whose name is... Dan
* HotBlooded
* IdiotHero
!!!'''Boi/Tiger Ranger''' | [-Actor: Takumi Hashimoto-]
A Knight of the Daim Tribe and Warrior of Hope. The youngest of the team, though mentally more mature than Dan. Excels in high speed attacks. Due to his youth, he's popular with kids.
* BigEater: Okay, that one incident with Gnome does have motivation, but he tops the rest of the Zyurangers in terms of appetite.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Carrots are one of the few things he ''won't'' eat.
* DualWielding KnifeNut: Saber Daggers
%%* FragileSpeedster
%%* FriendToAllChildren
%%* KidAppealCharacter
* LethalChef: Downplayed. Despite being the TeamChef, the Zyurangers claimed that Boi's foods weren't as good. But at least, it didn't send his teammates to the toilets or knocked them unconscious.
* MeaningfulName: His name sounds similar to Bowie, which is a type of knife.
* ShapedLikeItself: He's a boy... named Boi.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: He acts quite mature.
!!!'''Mei/Ptera Ranger''' | [-Actress: Reiko Chiba-]
The Princess of the Risha Tribe and 'Warrior of Love'. Kind, loving, but has an iron-will. Formed some sort of rivalry with Lamie later on.
* ActionGirl: Especially when she gets a focus episode, expect plenty of badassery from her.
** BadassPrincess
** BadassAdorable: She's cute as pie, and yet she proves to be cunning/strong enough to single handedly defeat Dora Monsters herself at times.
* TheChick
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Why are the rest Knights, while she's just Princess? Granted, Geki is also a ''prince'', but at least he's supposed to be the leader.
* HairDecorations: Changes her hairstyle nearly everytime. Usually with new hair decorations.
* GenerationXerox: Her ancestor once performed a HeroicSacrifice to destroy a monster. When that monster came back, Mei repeats the event, only without the HeroicSacrifice.
* GirlishPigtails: Occasionally sports this.
* GratuitousEnglish: Like Geki. It's ''Purinsesu'', not ''Hime''.
* LoveYouAndEverybody: Why she could get away with being 'Warrior of Love' and not being romantically involved with anyone. She deals with more universal love.
* MasterOfDisguise: Once got into a battle with Lamie ''while changing clothes in the middle of battle''.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple
* ShesGotLegs: About halfway through the series, Mei's skirt in her civilian outfit is exchanged for noticeably shorter shorts. This appears to have been done not for Fanservice, but for practical reasons, as Mei takes a much more active role in the fight sequences after this point.
* ShipTease: With Geki by fans.
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Ptera Arrow, because the occasional handgun and its upgrade (Thunder Slinger) isn't enough apparently.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Not in her, but she and her tribe often acts like this to various Dora Monsters, in case that not even Daizyuzin and Dragon Caesar can destroy it.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Among her disguises, the Masked Musketeer would be worn by a man.
** TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Surprisingly, she is ''the tomboy'' in her rivalry with Lamie, mostly because of the trope above and several of her so many hairstyles tend to make her look short-haired (she just ties her hair short)
** LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: On the other hand, though, she's not a complete tomboy and most of the time doing a LOT of feminine things (like liking flowers).
!!!'''Burai/Dragon Ranger''' | [-Actor: Shiro Izumi-]
The Warrior of Power from the Yamato Tribe. The elder son of the Black Knight and Geki's estranged brother, who came to resent Geki after he was adopted and raised by their father's enemy, the King of the Yamato Tribe. When he came back, he started antagonizing his brother and the Zyurangers, but eventually lets go of his vengeance and aids him in battle even though he has a limited life. Eventually, Bandora discovered his secret and destroyed his hideout, thus slowly killing him, but not after he passed on most of his strength to Geki.
* AloofBigBrother: A much more cynical example, but he got better.
** Possibly a {{Deconstruction}} - when he's not mysteriously appearing to save his brother, he's sitting in isolation hoping he doesn't die.
* {{Badass}}: Proves this multiple times, most iconically when he curb stomps the Zyurangers.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Geki's Abel, at first.
* TheComicallySerious: Compared to the Bandora Gang when he was evil, especially during their musical numbers.
-->"I feel like watching a comedy."
* CoolBigBro: To a degree after his HeelFaceTurn.
* DeathsHourglass: Lives on it.
* EvilPrince: His first act after waking up from millions of years of suspended animation is to proclaim himself as the Prince of the Yamato Tribe before attacking the Zyurangers.
* HeelFaceTurn
* KamehameHadoken: The energy projectile he throws during his first battle with the Zyurangers... Which he never uses again.
* KilledOffForReal
* KnightOfCerebus: His introduction provides an arc that's much more serious than the earlier episodes, and his approaching death provided for some more serious episodes leading up to it.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Clotho mentions that even though the Zyurangers couldn't save Burai's life, by fulfilling his wish to save the life of a dying boy they could save his soul- possibly, this sacrifice was what allowed him to be forgiven for the evil he'd done in the past.
* SixthRanger: The TropeNamer. While not the first ranger to join his team mid-series (being preceded by [[Series/JAKQDengekitai Big One]], as well as [[Series/ChoujuuSentaiLiveman Black Bison and Green Sai]]), he was the first to be both, an actual sixth ranger and a recurring character ([[Series/HikariSentaiMaskman X-1 Mask]] only lasted one episode).
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Which is the reason why the writers limited his powers and later killed him off, since he was overshadowing the other Zyurangers.
** JustifiedTrope: Burai's counterpart [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Tommy]] was also a Spotlight Stealing Squad but Tommy was only limited as a result of Burai not being featured often in Zyuranger footage, which ended when Tommy started using [[Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger other]] powers and the producers started filming more original footage. As a result, Tommy is a controversial character among fans, moreso than Burai.
* TheStarscream: Bandora knows he plans to take her power and rule the world himself after he defeats the Zyurangers.
* TheUsurper: Played around with his debut. His first act upon awakening was to proclaim himself as the Prince of the Yamato Tribe, with BossSubtitles to match.
* WeaponOfChoice
** MixAndMatchWeapon: [[MagicalFlutist Zyusou]][[KnifeNut ken]] [[note]]''Beast Instrument Dagger''[[/note]]
** PoweredArmor: Dragon Armor
!!!Daizyuzin | [-Voice: Eiji Maruyama-]
* AllYourPowersCombined:
* BadassBaritone: His booming, stern voice is not only fitting for his role as a god, but also makes him sound like an old, grizzled warrior.
* CombiningMecha: Combined from the team's five Shugozyu (Guardian Beast) mechs.
* MeaningfulName: Daizyuzin means "Great Beast God"
* {{Jerkass}}: Despite being a god (or perhaps because of being [[JerkassGod one]]) he acts like one on multiple occasions; holding imperfect mortals to his own godly standards and can be [[GoodIsNotNice especially harsh]] in dealing out discipline for mistakes and insubordination.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Although he IS one of the good guys and fights for the greater good. Nor is he afraid to admit when he was wrong.
*** Plus in the end, he decided to merely seal Bandora and her followers away rather then kill them.
** JerkassHasAPoint: Despite being brothers, as Daizyujin pointed out, Geki's hesitance to kill Burai put both his teammates and innocent civilians in danger.
* MechaExpansionPack: He can "wear" Dragon Caesar as a helmet and cape to become Zyutei (Beast Emperor) Daizyuzin and then "ride" King Brachion as a steed to become Kyukyoku (Ultimate) Daizyuzin.
* MechanicalLifeforms: More of a [[PhysicalGod mechanical god]] actually.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Daizyuzin" and "Daizyujin" have both been used in official products.
* TransformingMecha: He can transform into (or rather he transforms from) the Beast Tank Dino Tanker.
!!!Dragon Caesar
* MechaExpansionPack: He can combined with the Triceratops, Saber Tiger and Zyu Mammoth to form Gouryuzin (Mighty Dragon God).
* MechanicalLifeforms: He becomes depressed in the episode after [[spoiler:Burai dies.]]
!!!Zyukishin King Brachion
* MechaExpansionPack: Functions as a steed for Daizyuzin or any of his other forms.
* [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Spell My Finisher With an S]]: Grand Banisher, Grand Vanisher or Grand Punisher?
* TransformingMecha: He can turn into a tank by becoming the Super Beast Tank King Tanker.
!!!Barza the Wizard
* TheFogOfAges: Though he is a powerful wizard, he forgot all of his spells over the millions of years he spent watching over the Zyuranger (He finally remembered one in the finale).
* MentorArchetype: In the same vein as [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Zordon]].
* BadassGrandpa: Instead of hiding in a tube, Barza throws grenades at a mountain.
[[folder:Bandora Gang]]
* AffablyEvil
* AvengingTheVillain: Her motive for selling her soul was to avenge her son [[spoiler:who had crushed some dinosaur eggs and got chased off a cliff by some tyrannosaurs]].
* BenevolentBoss: At the end of the day, she really does care for her commanders.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: She's a LargeHam, she sings and even ''raps''. She'll also show you why she calls herself the Strongest Witch.
* BigBad
* ChildHater
* EvilOverlord
* EvilSorceress
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Not only does she love and care for her son Kai, but she also serves as a sort of mother figure for her henchmen; she will praise them for a job well done or a plan they come up with that sounds good, she will comfort them when they feel down, and she scolds them when they act out of line, not unlike how a mother would scold a misbehaving child. One such example is when she finds out about Grifforzer's StayInTheKitchen speech aimed at Lamia when he regains his voice.
* LargeHam: Quite possibly the biggest in SuperSentai history, and part of what makes her such an ''entertaining'' character. Say 'Large Ham' to a Sentai fan, and they'll reply "Bandora?".
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: She forgot her whole reason why she became evil in the first place...
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: "Evil spirits resting beneath the Earth, grant us now - HAAA! - your powerrrrrrr!". It says something about Bandora that she is the rare BigBad who is ''directly responsible'' for growing the MOTW.
* MamaBear
* MeaningfulName: Her name is similar to [[Series/{{Bewitched}} Endora]], another witch that likes to cause trouble.
* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Child]]: Her StartOfDarkness.
* WeakSauceWeakness: She loses her powers if she ever cries. [[spoiler: Then her son dies in her arms...]]
* BadassBaritone: Once he regains his ability to talk, his comrades note how impressive his voice is.
* BattleCouple: With Lamie.
* BlingOfWar
* TheBrute
* TheDragon: Becomes CoDragons after Lamie shows up.
* SickeninglySweethearts: With Lamie.
* SilentAntagonist: Before Lamie shows up. He apparently speaks so little that even Bandora is shocked by it.
* StayInTheKitchen: According to Lamie, his [[SuddenlyVoiced first words]] to her were "The battlefield is no place for a woman. Go home and do some laundry or something." HilarityEnsues.
* UglyGuyHotWife: With Lamie.
* BattleCouple: With Grifforzer.
* BlingOfWar
* DarkActionGirl
* CoDragons: With Grifforzer.
* HiddenDepths: If the last episode is anything to go by, she's going to be a wonderful mother.
* MsFanservice
* PregnantBadass[=/=]HumanMomNonhumanDad: Just shortly after she gets sealed with Bandora, she gives birth to one child. Which could mean she's been fighting the Zyurangers ''while pregnant''.
* SpoiledBrat
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Even though she's the DarkActionGirl, she ends up being the 'girly girl' when compared to Mei. Because of that one trope above.
** LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The dark to Mei's light, since she's really sensual with Grifforzer.
* AffablyEvil: Does not show any true malicious qualities and comes over more as an absent minded artist than anything else.
* EvilGenius: He is the smartest of Bandora's gang, making him this trope.
* MadArtist: Spends almost all of his time creating clay statues, which are placed inside a machine to turn them into a MonsterOfTheWeek.
* MookMaker: Has a mold which is able to mass produce many clay statues of the series Mooks.
* NonActionGuy: He is never seen directly fighting the Zyurangers.
* VerbalTic: "Ple!"
!!!Totpat & Bookback
* GratuitousGerman: The "Tot" in Totpat's name comes from the German word for death.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Bukubuku? Bookback? Buku Buck? The most likely one being Bukubach, as the character is based off a lumpy-headed minor demon from the ''DictionnaireInfernal'' known as Ukobach.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys
* BiggerBad: He gave Bandora her powers.
* FlyingFace: Appears as a flying head with spines as hair.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Even by Super Sentai standards, he never talks and just laughs evilly.
* KnightOfCerebus: Episodes where this guy appears are generally episodes with much higher stakes.
* SatanicArchetype: His name can be translated as Great Satan, so it is obviously he is meant to be this trope.
* UltimateEvil: In the ''Zyuranger'' universe.

GALESBURG, MI – Authorities have identified the Galesburg couple
who died Saturday afternoon when their pickup
truck overturned as Timothy and Melinda "Lori" Roe, both 48, of Galesburg.
Undersheriff Pali Matyas said Tuesday that shortly after 5 p.m. on Feb. 2, Lori Roe was driving the 1994 pick-up truck eastbound on East Michigan Avenue when it went around a curve, then off the road, hitting an embankment and overturning onto the driver's side. Roe's husband was in the passenger seat.
Lori Roe was wearing her seat belt; it appears Timothy was not, the accident report said.
Matyas said emergency workers had to extricate the couple from the truck; both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Mary Elizabeth Jones
Use the relationship between wavelength, frequency and wave velocity to find one variable when two are given.
Illustrate the Doppler effect.
Analyze the role of noise as one type of pollution
Distinguish between noise and music.
Research the original scientists of math and sound.
Teach math concepts.
This unit is designed to be taught over one marking period to 6th grade math and science students. The unit is divided into three sections. The first section covers wave characteristics, sound velocity, pitch and frequency and the Doppler effect. The second section explores amplitude, sound pressure level, noise, and musical sounds. The last section focuses on persons involved in the origins of sound.
In order to make this unit meaningful to a math or science class, we must show a relationship between music, math and science. The Pythagorean Doctrine made the connection in this way. Geometry (math) as magnitude at rest. Astronomy (science) as magnitude in motion. Arithmetic as numbers absolute and music as numbers applied.
Students will discuss wave characteristics such as how sound waves travel and two types of wave motion. Students will learn to describe the transmission of sound through a medium and be able to recognize the relationship between amplitude, loudness and frequency of pitch.
Math skills will be taught using information compiled in science class.
Students will learn to apply specific formulas to solve problems. Opportunities will be provided for students to use math skills to measure, calculate, graph, and analyze data and complete mini-lab activities.
When is it music and when is it noise? Students will learn to recognize noise as a form of pollution and identify sounds that are considered noise both through frequency content and loudness. Students will be required to complete a report on the effects of noise on hearing and what can be done to protect their hearing.
Students will be required to research the original great scientists (such as Pythagoras and Thales) of sound and math along with their contributions. The research will be used to prepare a report.
Two types of waves will be discussed in this section; transverse waves and compressional waves. A transverse wave is one in which the vibrations are at right angles to the direction the wave is traveling (ex. Waves on a rope). A compressional wave is one in which the vibration is in the same direction as the wave is traveling (ex. Sound waves in the air).
Water waves are probably the easiest type of wave to visualize. If you have been in a boat, you know that approaching waves bump against the boat but do not carry the boat along with them. The boat just moves up and down as the waves pass by. Like the boat, the water molecules on the surface of the lake move up and down, but not forward. Only energy carried by the waves moves forward.
Waves are rhythmic disturbances that carry energy through matter or space.
Water waves transfer energy through the water. Earthquakes transfer energy in powerful shock waves that travel through Earth. Both types of waves travel through a medium. A medium is a material through which a wave can transfer energy. This medium may be a solid, a liquid, a gas or a combination of these. Radio waves and light waves, however, are types of waves that can travel without a medium.
Two types of wave motion can carry energy. Figure 1 shows how you can make a transverse wave by snapping the ends of a rope up and down while a friend holds one end. Figure 2 shows how a compressional wave should look.
Notice that as the wave moves, some of the coils are squeezed together just as you squeezed the ones on the end of the spring. The crowded area is called compression.
The compressed area then expands, spreading the coils apart creating a less dense area. This less dense area of the wave is called a rarefaction. Does the whole spring move? Tie a piece of string on one end of the coils and observe the motion. The string moves back and forth with the coils. Therefore, the matter in the medium does not move forward with the wave. Instead, the wave carries only the energy forward.
Transverse waves have wavelengths, frequencies, amplitudes and velocities. Compressional waves also have these characteristics. A wavelength in a compressional wave is made of one compressional, and one rarefaction as shown in Figure 3. Notice that one wavelength is the distance between two compressions or two rarefactions of the same wave. The frequency is the number of compressions that pass a place each second. If you repeatedly squeeze and release the end of the spring three times each second, you will produce a wave with a frequency of 3 Hz.
The high, almost dense points of a wave are called crests; the lowest points are called troughs. Waves are measured by their wavelength. Wavelength is the distance between a point on one wave and the identical point on the next wave, such as from crest to crest or trough to trough.
Do high-pitched sounds travel at a different speed than low-pitched sounds? Let's ask this question differently. If you were at an outdoor band concert (without electronic amplification) and the conductor gave the downbeat to the band, would the sound of the piccolo get to you before or after the sound of the tuba?1
Your experience will help to tell you that if there were much of a difference in the arrival times between high and low pitches, not only would it be difficult to keep the performance together, but also it would sound quite different up close to the band than further away. In fact, sound in the normal audible range travels at a constant speed independent of pitch.
Most people cannot hear sound frequencies above 20,000 Hz The frequency of the human voice range that carries information extends from about 250 to about 2000 Hz in a normal conversation. Bats, however, can detect frequencies as high as 100,000 Hz. Ultrasound waves are used in sonar as well as in medical diagnosis and treatment. Sonar, or sound navigation ranging, is a method of using sound waves to estimate the distance to, size, shape and depth of underwater objects.
Sound must have a medium (liquid, gas or solid) through which to travel. It cannot travel through a vacuum. A vacuum is a space that is empty of everything, even air. If you put a ringing alarm clock into a jar and pump the air out of the jar, the sound of the ringing will decrease as you pump out the air. When most of the air molecules are out of the jar, not enough molecules remain to form sound waves and the ringing sound stops.
When two waves of the same frequency reach the same point, they may interfere constructively or destructively. If their amplitudes are both equal to A, the resultant amplitude may be anything from zero up to 2 A. The same is true of a wave that reflects back on itself after hitting a hard surface.2
Wave velocity can be determined by multiplying the wavelength and frequency. Wavelength is represented by the Greek letter lambda, ». If you know any two variables in an equation you can find the unknown variable. Velocity = wavelength x frequency.
For sound waves, the sound velocity does not change with frequency for a given medium.
Calculating the Frequency of a Wave
Problem: Earthquakes can produce three types of waves. One of these is a transverse wave called an s wave. A typical s wave travels at 5000m/s. Its wavelength is about 417 m.
What is its frequency?
Information Velocity, v = 5000m/s
Strategy Hint: Remember, Wavelength, »= 417m
Hz= 1/s, so m/s divided by
m = 1/s = 1 Hz
Unknown Information frequency (f)
Equation to use v = » x f
Solution3 v = » x f, so f = v/»
= (5000m/s)/(412m) = 12 Hz
Calculating Velocity of a Wave
Problem: A wave is generated in a wave pool at a water amusement park. The wavelength is 3.2 m.
The frequency of the wave is 0.60 Hz.
What is the velocity of the wave?
Information wavelength, »= 3.2 m
Strategy Hint: Another way frequency, f = 0.60 Hz
To express Hertz is 1/second,
Therefore, m x 1/s = m/s.
Unknown information velocity (v)
Equation to use v = » x f
Solution3 v = » x f = 3.2 m x 0.60Hz = 1.92 m/s

The word sound is used to describe two different things: (1) and auditory sensation in the ear and (2) the disturbance in a medium which can cause a sensation.
Think of all the sounds that you've heard since you awoke this morning. Did you hear a blaring alarm, honking horns, human voices, and lockers slamming? Your ears allow you to recognize these different sounds. These sounds all have one thing in common. The vibration of objects produces them all. The vibrations of your vocal cords produce voice. The energy produced by these vibrations is carried to your friend's ear by sound waves traveling through a medium, air.
The speed of sound waves depends on the medium through which the wave travels and it temperature. Air is the most common medium you hear sound waves through, but sound waves can be transmitted through any type of matter. Liquids and solids are even better conductors of sound than air because the individual particles in a liquid or solid are much closer together than the particles in air.
Sound waves transmit energy faster in substances with smaller spaces between the particles. A research question for students: Can sound be transmitted if there is no matter? Astronauts on the moon would find it impossible to talk to each other without the aid of modern electronic communication systems. Since the moon has no atmosphere, there is no air to compress or expand.
The temperature of the medium is also an important factor in determining the speed sound travels. As the temperature of the substance increases, the molecules move faster and collide more frequently. This increase in molecule collisions transfers energy more quickly. Sound travels through air at 344 miles/second if the temperature is 20o C, but only 332 miles/second when the temperature is 0o C.
To better understand sound waves, consider a large pipe or tube with a loudspeaker at one end. Although sound waves in this tube are similar in many respects to the waves on a rope, they are more difficult to visualize, because we cannot see the displacement of the air molecules as the sound wave propagates. The pulse of air pressure travels down the tube at a speed of about 340 miles/second. It may be absorbed at the far end of the tube, or it may reflect back toward the loudspeaker (as a positive pulse or a negative pulse), depending on what is at the far end of the tube.
Reflection of a sound pulse in a pipe for three different end conditions is illustrated in Figure 5. If the end is open, the excess pressure drops to zero and the pulse reflects back as a negative pulse of pressure as shown in Figure 5b; this is similar to the "fixed end" condition.
In an actual tube with an open end, a little of the sound will be radiated; most of it however, will be reflected as shown. If the end is closed, the pressure builds up to twice its value, and the pulse reflects back as a positive pulse of pressure; this condition shown in Figure 5c is similar to the "free end" reflection. If the end is terminated with a sound absorber, Figure 5d, there is virtually on reflected pulse. Such a termination is called "no echo."

Wave movements in two and three dimensions
So far we have discussed only waves that travel in one direction (ex. along a rope or in a pipe). One-dimensional waves of this type are a rather special case of wave motion. Often, waves travel outward in two or three dimensions from a source.
Water waves are an example of two-dimensional waves. Many waves can be studied conveniently by means of a ripple tank in a laboratory. A ripple tank uses a glass-bottom tray filled with water; light projected through the tray forms an image of the wave on a large sheet of paper or on a projection screen. If the materials were readily available, this would be an excellent exercise for the students. Many calculations could be performed from the data collected.
Three-dimensional waves are difficult to make visible. For this unit we will not explore the techniques used to identify 3-dimension waves.
____ A Science and Math activity: The timer at a track meet starts the watch when he hears the sound of the gun rather than when he sees the flash of the gun being fired. If the gun were 200 m away from him, how much faster or slower would the recorded time be than the actual time?
SOLUTION: The speed of light is 300,000,000 m/s, so the light gets there virtually instantaneously. The speed of sound is about 330 m/s, so the timed speed will be 0.3 s faster than the real speed.
A Science and writing activity: You have just formed a new company, Ultrasonic Unlimited. Develop an advertisement for a product that uses this sound energy. SOLUTION; an encyclopedia will describe many uses including scientific, industrial, medical and residential.
Loudness is the human perception of sound intensity. The higher the intensity and amplitude, the louder the sound. The intensity of a sound is measured in units called decibels (dB). Sounds with intensities above 120 dB may cause pain and hearing loss. Prolonged noise above 150 dB can cause permanent deafness. The roar of a racing car can be 125 dB, amplified music as high as 130 dB, and some toy guns 170 dB. Figure 7 shows some familiar sounds and their intensities in dB.
The effect of noise on the performance of various tasks has been the subject of several investigations in the laboratory and in actual work situations. When mental or motor tasks do not involve auditory (hearing) signals, the effects of noise on human performance have been difficult to assess.
Psychological effects of noise:
1. Steady noises below about 90 dB do not seem to affect performance.
2. Noise with appreciable strength around 1000 to 2000 Hz is more disruptive than low ń frequency noise.
3. Noise is more likely to reduce the accuracy of work than to reduce the total quantity of work.
4. Noise appears to interfere with the ability to judge the passage of time.
5. There is a general feeling that nervousness and anxiety are caused by or intensified by exposure to noise.
Physiological effects of noise
Sudden noises are startling. They trigger a muscular reflex that may include an eye blink, a facial grimace or inward bending of arms and knees. These reflexes prepare the body for defensive action against the source of the noise. Sometimes these reflexive actions interfere with some tasks: sometimes they even cause accidents.
Constriction of blood vessels, reduction of skin resistance, change in heartbeat and secretion of saliva have been observed in human response to brief sounds. There is evidence that workers exposed to high levels of noise have a higher incidence of cardiovascular disorders such as ear, nose and throat problems and equilibrium problems than do workers at lower levels of noise.
@3H(after2H):Noise pollution When does noise become noise pollution? Noise pollution includes sounds that are loud, annoying or harmful to the ear. These sounds can come from sources such as jackhammers, a jet engine or highly amplified music.
Noise pollution can be harmful in several ways. Recall the way in which sound waves transfer energy through compressions and rarefactions. If the intensity of the sound wave is high enough, the energy carried can shatter windows and crack plastic.
When sound waves reach the human ear, the vibrations pass through various parts. Extremely intense vibrations can rupture the eardrum, but loudness-related hearing loss usually develops gradually. Your brain perceives sound when the auditory nerve carries a nerve impulse to the brain. The nerve is composed of many tiny nerve fibers surrounded by a fluid inside the ear. Hearing loss occurs when intense compressional waves traveling through the fluid destroys these nerve fibers. Loud sounds in the frequency range of 4000 to 20,000Hz cause most of the damage to these nerve fibers. Amplified music, motorcycles and machinery are sources of sound in this frequency range that often cause hearing loss after prolonged listening.
Controlling noise pollution (environmental acoustics)
Noise pollution can be controlled in a number of ways. Reducing the intensities of the sound waves from sources that cause noise pollution can decrease noise pollution. Acoustical engineers have quieted the noise made by many devices. For example, mufflers help quiet automobile engines. In buildings, thick heavy walls, well-sealed doors and windows, may be used to block sound. Builders use insulation to reduce sound. Industrial workers and other people exposed to intense noise should wear some form of ear protection to help prevent hearing loss.6
Musical sounds What is Music? Vibrations cause both music and noise, but there are some important differences. You can easily make a noise by just speaking a word or tapping a pencil on a desk, but it takes some deliberate actions to create music. Music is created using specific pitches and sound quality and by following a regular pattern.
A stringed musical instrument such as a guitar generates sound when you pluck a string. Plucking a string creates waves in the string. Because the ends of the strings are fastened, the waves reflect back and forth between the ends causing the string to vibrate at certain particular frequencies that are harmonically related to each other.
The guitar string, like most objects has a natural frequency of vibration. Plucking it causes the string to vibrate at its natural frequency.
If you were to play a note of the same pitch and loudness on a flute and on a piano, the sound wouldn't be the same. These instruments have a different quality of sound. The quality does not refer to how good or bad the instrument sounds. Sound quality describes the difference among sounds of the same pitch and loudness. All sounds are produced by vibrations of matter, but most objects vibrate at more than one frequency. Distinct sounds from musical instruments are produced by different combinations of these wave frequencies.6
Mini-Lab: How can a hearing loss change the sounds you hear? To simulate a hearing loss, tune a radio station. Turn the volume down to the lowest level you can hear and understand. Turn the bass to maximum and the treble to minimum. If the radio does not have these controls, mask out the higher frequency sounds with heavy pads over your ears. Which voices are hardest to understand men's or women's? What letter sounds are the most difficult to hear, vowels or consonants? How could you help a person with a hearing loss understand what you say? Solution: Most hearing losses are in the higher frequencies of the speech range. Most affected are women's voices and consonant sounds. People with hearing losses should be spoken to face to face, at a steady, unrushed pace with a slight emphasis on consonant sounds.
Pythagoras was also one of the first to insist that precise definitions should form the cornerstone for logical proofs in geometry, although he is better remembered in this field for the unhistorical association of his name with the already well-known theorem about sums of the squares on the side of a right triangle. His teacher Thales, the first of the seven Wise Men of Greece had already brought deductive rigor to bear on geometry by introducing the concepts of logical proof for abstract propositions.
The most enduring contribution Pythagoras made to acoustical theory was to establish the inverse proportionality between pitch and the length of a vibrating string.
Aristotle (384 ń 322 B.C.) probably deserves to be called the first mathematical physicist, since he was deeply concerned with the whole range of natural philosophy and with the use of mathematical reasoning as a tool for examining nature. The relative velocity of transmission of light and sound periodically commanded the attention of philosophers and scientist until nearly the middle of the eighteenth century. In referring to the physical nature of sound Aristotle wrote "lightning comes into existence after the collision and the [resulting] thunder, though we see it earlier because sight is quicker than hearing." This inverted notion that thunder causes lightning persisted for centuries.7
Two other historians of antiquity expressed proper conclusions concerning the relative velocity of the transmission of light and sound. Pliny the Elder (A.D. 23-79) observed, "it is certain that when thunder and lightning occur simultaneously, the flash is seen before the thunderclap is heard (this is not surprising, as light travels more swiftly than sound)."
In about 400 B.C. Greek scholar Archytas (428 ń 347 B.C.) expressed the fundamental idea that sound is always produced by the motion of one object striking another. This statement was paraphrased in one way or another and repeated by almost every writer of ancient and medieval times who considered the generation of sound. About 50 years later, the Greek philosopher Aristotle suggested that sound is carried to our ears by the movement of air. From then until about A.D. 1300, little scientific investigation took place in Europe, but scientists in the Middle East and India developed some new ideas about sound by studying music and working out systems of music theory.
European scientist began extensive experiments on the nature of sound during the early 1600's. About that time, the Italian astronomer and physicist Galileo demonstrated that the frequency of sound waves determines pitch. Galileo scraped a chisel across a brass plate, producing a screech. He then related the spacing of the grooves made by the chisel to the pitch of the screech,
About 1640, Marin Mersenne, a French mathematician, obtained the first measurement of the speed of sound in air. About 20 yeas later, the Irish chemist and physicist Robert Boyle demonstrated that sound waves must travel in a medium. During the late 1600's, the English scientist Sir Isaac Newton formulated an almost correct relationship between the speed of sound in a medium and the density and compressibility of the medium.
In the mid-1700's, Daniel Bernoulli, a Swiss mathematician and physicist, explained that a string could vibrate at more than one frequency at the same time. In the early 1800's, a French mathematician named Jean Baptiste Fourier developed a mathematical technique that could be used to breakdown complex sound waves into pure tones that make them up. During the 1860's, Herman von Helmholtz, a German physicist, investigated the interference of sound waves, the productions of beats and the relationship of both to the ear's perception of sound.8
Research Activity: Euclid of Alexandria (330-275 B.C.), Archimedes (ca. 287-212 B.C.), Galileo (1564-1642) and Plato (ca. 429-347 B.C.) are but a few of the great scientists of sound. Have student do research to get information on ancient scientist and modern day scientist who specialize in sound and acoustics.
We plan to teach these three units over one marking period using as many of the same students as possible. Upon completion of the teaching, we prepared a culminating activity. The participants in this activity, which will consist of a school-wide assembly, will be the students who made their instruments.
The assembly will consist of diverse entertainment from professional entertainers. Students will prepare poster board illustrations for each musical "family." Students will display completed instruments. One student from each "Family" will explain how their instruments make music. The students will perform at least one musical number together. They will also perform with the professional performers using the instrument they made. The performers will come from various ethnic backgrounds.
Students will report on the contributions of some of the first people to study sound.
The program will conclude with an International feast prepared for all the participants in the assembly. On the day of the assembly, everyone will be encouraged to dress in ethnic clothes.

OK, so many of us have said the media is biased. Here is an example:
Now we have seen this photo and others like it depicting greenhouse gasses and CO2 is one. But is that Greenhouse gases in the photo? No, it is steam, plain old water in gas form. As soon as it cools it becomes water vapor in the air. Humidity. Harmless.
But the graphic effect is that greenhouse gasses are pouring into the atmosphere. Why don't the reporters get an actual picture of CO2. Maybe they don't know the difference. So much for accurate reporting.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Detectives have left the St. George apartment of a man who, sources say, hanged himself moments after stating his intention to do so on his public Facebook.com profile.
Police confirmed a suicide at 82 St. Mark's Place this afternoon, and said there was no evidence of criminal activity.
The Advance confirmed the man's name with a neighbor and accessed the man's public Facebook.com page, which included his suicide note. The man's name has now been made public by authorities.
The man, William Rodriguez, 52, said in his note that the FDNY wants to fire him.
"When I take my meds I'm manic when I don't I'm severely depressed like I am now," the note said. " I can't go on anymore. I just hung myself."
Friends began posting panicked messages on Rodriguez's Facebook page and one alerted emergency officials.
"What the [expletive]," one friend wrote. "I don't like this!! I'm calling you now."
"Answer your cell phone now," another pleaded.
After about an hour, Facebook removed Rodriguez's post and the comments it sparked.
Cops prevented residents of the apartment building from entering for about 20 minutes after the grisly discovery was made.
"I had no idea what happened," said a resident who lives on the victim's floor and would not give her name. "It was pretty startling and a little scary."
Here are photos from the scene:
