Save our Planet


* If you throw away 2 aluminum cans, you waste more energy than 1,000,000,000 (one billion) of the world's poorest people use a day.
* Making a new can from scratch uses the uses the energy equal to half a can of gasoline.
* About one third of what an average American throws out is packaging.
* More than 1,000,000,000 (one billion) trees are used to make disposable diapers every year.
* In one minute, 50 acres of rainforest are destroyed.
* Some rain has a pH of 3 or 4. (which is pretty acidic, considering 7 is neutral, not acidic, and battery acid has a pH of 1). Some fish, such as lake trout and smallmouth bass, have trouble reproducing at a pH of 6, which is only slightly acidic. Some clams and snails can't survive at all. Most crayfish are dead at a pH of 5. You can see how bad this is for the environment.
* On average, a person in the US uses energy two times more than a person in Japan or West Germany does, and 50 times more than a person in India.
* About 90% of the energy used in lighting a standard (incandescent) light bulb is lost as heat.
* Air conditioning uses 10 times more energy than a fan, therefore, it creates 10 times the pollutants.
* It takes half the output of the Alaskan pipeline to heat the air that escapes from all the homes in the US during a year.
* Cars and pick-up trucks are responsible for about 20% of the carbon dioxide released into the air.
* There are about 500 million automobiles on the planet, burning an average of 2 gallons of fuel a day. Each gallon releases 20 pounds of carbon dioxide into the air.
* About 80% of our trash goes to landfills, 10% is incinerated, and 10% is recycled.
* Since there is little oxygen underground, where we bury our garbage, to help bacteria eat the garbage, almost nothing happens to it. Scientists have dug into landfills and found ears of corn still intact after 20 years, and newspapers still readable after 30.
* The average American makes about 3.5 pounds of trash a day.
* In a year, the average American uses as much wood in the form of paper as the average resident of the developing world burns as fuel.

Musical composition


Composing music

People who practice composition are called composers. Compositional techniques are the methods used to create music. Useful skills in composition include writing musical notation, instrumentation, and handling musical ensembles (orchestration). Other skills include extended techniques such as improvisation, musical montage, preparing instruments, using non-traditional instruments, and other methods of sound production.

Musical compositions

A piece of music exists in the form of a written composition in musical notation or as a single acoustic event (a live performance or recorded track). If composed before being performed, music can be performed from memory, through written musical notation, or through a combination of both. Compositions comprise musical elements, which vary widely from person to person and between cultures. Improvisation is the act of composing during the performance, assembling musical elements spontaneously.

Piece is a, "general, non-technical term [that began to be] applied mainly to instrumental compositions from the 17th century onwards....other than when they are taken individually 'piece' and its equivalents are rarely used of movements in sonatas or symphonies....composers have used all these terms [in their different languages] frequently in compound forms [e.g. Clavierstück]....In vocal music...the term is most frequently used for operatic ensembles..."[1]

Pop Music

WHAT IS THE POP?

The pop is a type of simple, direct music and with melodies and sticky(parasitic) paces.

Often, the so called groups pop are sets formed(trained) by a singer, one or two guitarists, under electrically, a batería and, in many cases, a teclista that deals with the synthesizer.

THE ORIGINS
The music pop was born from the second half of the 20th century, thanks to the evolution of the record industry. It(he,she) arose directly from the rock and roll, and in a beginning it(he,she) had his(her,your) principal figures in The United States and in United Kingdom. This one is the reason for which the first songs pop always were in English.

During this epoch, the lists of sales of discs began to have a great economic influence. In addition, the culture of the 'single' arose, that is to say, a song that, with the sufficient advertising in the radio or in the television, was managing to come to a buyers' great mass.

Philipine dance



Tinikling - Tinnikling is considered the national folkdance with a pair of dancers hopping between two bamboo poles held just above the ground and struck together in time to music. Originated from Leyte Province, this dance is in fact a mimic movement of “tikling birds” hopping over trees, grass stems or over bamboo traps set by farmers. Dancers perform this dance with remarkable grace and speed jumping between bamboo poles.







Pandanggo sa Ilaw - The word pandanggo comes from the Spanish dance “fandango”characterized with lively steps and clapping while following a varying ¾ beat. Pandanggo requires excellent balancing skill to maintain the stability of three tinggoy, or oil lamps, placed on head and at the back of each hand. This famous dance of grace and balance originated from Lubang Island, Mindoro.
