That's some psychological shit for a 4th grader Beer Bash 2013 - CRSL / Cégep St-Laurent CLAUDE CHAMPAGNE ( 1891-1965 ) SYMPHONIE GASPESIENNE ( 1947) Igor Stravinsky: Agon (1957) Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima Krzysztof Penderecki, Gdańsk, 2008 Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima (Tren ofiarom Hiroszimy in Polish) is a musical composition for 52 string instruments, composed in 1960 by Krzysztof Penderecki (b. 1933), which took third prize at the Grzegorz Fitelberg Composers' Competition in Katowice in 1960. The piece swiftly attracted interest around the world and made its young composer famous. The piece—perhaps as a nod to John Cage originally called 8'37" (at times also 8'26")—applies the sonoristic technique and rigors of specific counterpoint to an ensemble of strings treated to unconventional scoring. The piece is approximately ten minutes long.

1973 Chilean coup d'état The military abolished the civilian government and established a junta that brutally repressed left-wing political activity both domestically and abroad. Allende's army chief, Augusto Pinochet, rose to supreme power within a year of the coup, formally assume power in late 1974.[5] The United States government, which had worked to create the conditions for the coup,[6] promptly recognized the junta government and supported it in consolidating power.[7] During the air raids and ground attacks that preceded the coup, Allende gave his last speech, in which he vowed to stay in the presidential palace, denouncing offers for safe passage should he choose exile over confrontation.[8] Direct witness accounts of Allende's death agree that he committed suicide in the palace.[9][10] Political background[edit] Allende contested the 1970 Chilean presidential election with Jorge Alessandri Rodriguez of the National Party and Radomiro Tomic of the Christian Democratic Party.

James Elaine Ambient music composer William Basinski says the four-volume work, now a box set, saved his life. William Basinski has lived on both American coasts, but I know a Southern gentleman when I hear one. The ambient music composer, who grew up in Texas, is on vacation visiting the Celeste ranch of his partner James Elaine's family when I call him — "I just fed the horses apples," he mentions — and is just as sweet as I'd heard from colleagues. He pauses long between words, measuring each one because the weight of each word is just as important as its meaning. For over 30 years, Basinski has worked with tape loops — capturing, slicing and warping the world around us on reel-to-reels. Basinski spent a lifetime to create those loops, not knowing the affect they would have not only on his life, but also for those in mourning. Purchase Featured Music "Now I'm out here in Texas.

Long-Term Pot Use Tied to Less Dopamine, Which May Help Explain Less Motivation By Rick Nauert PhD Senior News Editor Reviewed by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on July 2, 2013 New research discovers long-term cannabis users tend to produce less dopamine, a chemical in the brain linked to motivation. UK investigators found that dopamine levels in a part of the brain called the striatum were lower in people who smoke more cannabis and those who began using the drug at a younger age. They suggest this finding could explain why some cannabis users appear to lack motivation to work or pursue their normal interests. The study, by scientists at Imperial College London, UCL and King’s College London, was funded by the Medical Research Council and published in the journal Biological Psychiatry. Scientists at Imperial College London, UCL and King’s College London used PET brain imaging to look at dopamine production in the striatum of 19 regular cannabis users and 19 non-users of matching age and sex.
