The name of this work is Act One: Youtube Symphony Orchestra @ Carnegie Hall. It lasts for about one hour. This is the first symphony orchestra of its kind. Many things set it apart from all others. Approximately three thousand people from all corners of the globe sent in video tape auditions of their musical talents. From this a total of ninety six people were chosen by " Youtubers". The orchestra consists of both male and female musicians. The attire is all black and formal, such as dresses, suits, etcetera. From certain angles, one can see that the music hall is packed with people. The dim lighting gave great and appropriate ambiance.

The neonatal ICU nurses immediately transported the babies in the incubators to the top of the hospital after they were informed that there were helicopters landing at the hospital to evacuate patients. However, space was a huge issue during that time because when the babies reached at the top of the hospital, the pilot said the helicopters did not have enough space to fit the giant incubators. As a result, the helicopters evacuated other sick patients and left the sick babies behind to wait; however, the babies can’t wait any longer because they were depended on technology to keep their critical condition controlled. In addition, the generators at the hospital lost power, so most of the technologies were not functioning (p. 88-89). Therefore, the babies needed to be evaluated as soon as possible, so they can have a higher chance to survive. In order to fit inside the helicopter, a neonatologist Gershanik and a nurse decided to carry the sick babies in their arms while they dispensed oxygen to the babies with squeezes of the reinflating bag. At the end, they flew to another hospital that was away from the crisis and the sick babies survived because Gershanik and the nurse were willing to take the risk (p. 93-94). After reading this scene, I learned that space is an important factor because if the

Music is known to leave its mark on people helping them to overcome challenges in their lives or to give them courage to defy the odds. In one’s daily life, music is normally taken for granted or is seen as nothing special. As ordinary as it may seem, music can convey emotion in times when the body is numb or all hope is lost. Similarly, in The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway, the cello’s music gave people hope and determination to live their lives in spite of the rampant siege around them. Therefore, music very much impacts the lives of the principal characters Dragan, Kenan, and Arrow.

The instruments used in these operations were either cleaned in water that wasn’t clean or had been previously used on other patients and hadn’t been cleaned. Either way the instruments caused infections and diseases. Overall the medical camps that were used caused more casualties than

Two of the relatives, Marija Berczynskas and Teta Elzbieta, also find jobs quickly. The family feels comfortable with three workers, and buys a house that turns out to have many hidden costs and to be in poor condition. The cost of living exceeds what the family is bringing in, and so Ona and one of the children are forced to get jobs as well. The work in extremely difficult and the conditions are unsafe, and laborers work through injury and sickness in order to keep their precious jobs. Any worker who falls behind or is unable to work loses their position without compensation.

For my first paper, I chose to write about Beethoven’s Symphony no. 6 conducted in Rome by Claudio Abbado in F Major. I chose this symphony based on the description of the symphony which is a program symphony that transfers the listener to an outdoor setting. I had not listened to Classical music since taking music class back in the sixth grade, but I am almost certain we covered Beethoven’s symphonies. Upon hearing the first fifteen seconds of the piece, I was transported back into both my middle school class and a setting where I felt like I was actually immersed in most of the feelings described in Beethoven’s words of his symphony. The symphony is a Sonata form which we learned is work written as absolute music written for a specific combination

Before hearing this lecture, I had no concept of the types of music in concentration camps, much less a sense of the music within World War II. The lecture taught me how music and the arts are something that can’t ever be stopped. Even though it’s not mandatory for human life or a lucrative career it has permanently etched a place inside of culture and the continuation of history.

At the end of 2012 the National Unemployment Rate was 7.8% (“Labor Force Statistics from the Current Population Survey”) and employers were struck with the daunting task of filling 3.6 million job openings (Smith.) In an article for Forbes on the subject of the daunting prospect of the job search, Jacquelyn Smith shares this startling fact: “The average number of people who apply for any given job: 118.” With the downturn in the economy in recent years, candidates for any given job can include inexperienced job seekers, seasoned competitive candidates, and even those who are looking to start their second or third career. The job market is flooded. Employers are overwhelmed by the sheer number of applicants, sometimes willing to compromise
