Many states view collecting use tax on smaller purchases as burdensome, therefore states have customarily attempted to collect a use tax only on big-ticket items that require licenses—such as cars and boats. Many states over the last several years are increasing enforcement efforts of the use tax laws to get the state population to pay the taxes due in an attempt to combat internet ordering. The realities of limited resources as well as the complexities involved with tracking down minor purchases and demanding that a use tax be paid are limiting the collection efforts.

You know the name the hair and smile but most of all you know the voice. Chaka Khan is a pioneer in the music world and others inspire to be like her. Chaka Khan was born March 23, 1953 as Yvette Marie Stevens in Chicago, Illinois at Great Lakes Naval Base Hospital. She stepped into the music world in the 1970s. Her first music group called the Crystalettes was formed when she was 11 with her sister Yvonne and two other girls from their neighborhood. The group was influenced by Khan’s musical inspirations Billie Holiday and Gladys knight. Later in the years the sisters joined the Affro-arts theatre, a group that toured with Motown legend Mary Wells. They started another group known as Shades of black while being with the theatre. In 1968, a Yoruba priest renames her Chaka Adunne Aduffe Yemoja Hodarhi Karifi and her sister is renamed Taka Boom. In 1969, Khan became very active in the black power movement by joining the Black Panther party. She worked on the organization’s free breakfast program for children. She drops out of school and she sings with the groups Lyfe, Lock & Chain, and Huey & The Babysitters. Finally she joins the band Ask Rufus whose name is taken from a fishing magazine column. The band is discovered by producer Bob Monaco while he was scouting groups at a Chicago club. She became Chaka Khan when she married bassist Hassan Khan in 1970. After hearing Chaka sing, Monaco proclaims “I thought I’d heard the next Aretha Franklin or coming of Christ. She

The Puck that I chose is a character from Norse mythology, Loki. I chose this one because they resemblance each other in many ways. Just like Loki, Puck is mischievous that likes to prank mortals and immortals. Puck seems to enjoy that he is getting people in trouble and we see these when he says” My mistress with a monster is I love”. Puck says these as he enjoys his mischievousness. Like Loki, Puck has a big role in the play because it is him who created the biggest problems and it is also him that fixed the problem. I think that Loki is very similar to Puck because, in Asgard, he created problems with the gods and also played with humans.

In this lesson we explore the life and reign of one of Russia’s most reactionary monarchs of all time, Nikolai I, who had to quell a rebellion immediately upon his accession in 1825.

What are the major wars in which the U.S. fought? A typical American might mention the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and most recently, the war in Iraq. However, one war absent from this list proved to be one of the most casualty-laden but least recognized by the American public as a significant war: the Korean War. In his book No Bugles, No Drums: An Oral History of the Korean War, Vietnam veteran Rudy Tomedi offers the personal memories of dozens of soldiers who participated in “the forgotten war.”

Music during World War II had an impact on America, both on the home front and on troops serving overseas. First off, WW2 encouraged a wide variety of patriotic songs and love songs that focused on separation (with the possibility of the man dying while away fighting). According to an article posted GilderLehrman.com written by Elihu Rose, war inspired patriotic songs such as ““The House I Live In (That’s America to Me),” “There’s a Star-Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere,” “American Patrol,” and “This Is Worth Fighting For” (The Glider Lehrman Institute of American History, “The Forties and the Music of World War II”). Because almost every house in America had some way of listening to music, the mass distribution of music had a patriotic effect

Coming from a very talented family, Ana has been known through her music since the age of 5 with her father and brother being guitarist themselves. She later explained that her brother influenced her on playing the guitar. She was born in a small town in Croatia, November 8th 1980.

Crossovers between genres and time periods in music have been happening quite a long time with composers of the classical period having done similar to The Beatles did in those three songs. Even in the middle age period on into the Renaissance composers were obligated to incorporate folk tunes into their choral mass, so similarly in the 18th and 19th centuries there are also origins to the folk music. Some crossovers were done with intent, like the nationalistic composers in order to express their pride in their nation and relate to the people in their nations. A similarity between the old crossovers and the ones The Beatles did is that once the artist/composer did a crossover the way people viewed the style changed from how they had seen

Mars, the Bringer of War, is a programmatic composition by Gustavo Holst: British composer of orchestral pieces, operas and choral part-songs. Mars is the first segment in a 7 movement programmatic piece by Holst, The Planets, in which the Roman astrological characteristics of Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are depicted. The movement, Mars, carries out three consistent themes: a brutally rhythmic figure of five beats relentlessly hammered out in a 5/4 rhythm, a principal theme in triads moving by chromatic steps without any true harmonic purpose, and a second theme consisting of a calling melody by the tenor tuba answered by an embellishment of trumpets.

In “A Rose for Emily”, William Faulkner uses the veiled symbol of taxes, that is an inevitable part of life, throughout the story to represent the certain end that all life must eventually meet, death. Faulkner’s use of taxes in “A Rose for Emily”, can be seen to draw clear parallels to realistic ideas and feelings associated with death. Faulkner begins Section I in, “A Rose for Emily”, immediately with death and taxes almost foreshadowing how taxes are meant to represent death in this story. Helen Nebeker mentions the immediate reference to the attempt to collect Emily’s taxes and her father’s death inthe first paragraph. (Emily’s Rose of Love: Thematic Implications of Point of View in Faulkner’s‘A Rose for Emily’).

In almost every movie, there is a background music included to give the audience more of an excitement. The production of music can be referred to as background music, even when it plays a crucial role when telling the story. There are a lot of genres in a film but we mainly focused on Spaghetti Western Movies and Silent Films which both of the films contain little dialogue.

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.

Music plays a significant rule in our lives. It’s a melody and rhythm we live in. It plays a very essential rule in our day to day to life when it comes to expressing feelings, passing time and for other uses as well. Though we in general may not think about how music has changed so much in the past few decades we must acknowledge the fact todays music is the outcome of the various change in the past. Today’s majority of music we hear is what we define as more as a “westernized” music. Considering other cultures in the world, a huge impact of western music is seen within them. Westernization and modernization are two different words with different meanings and they have two different impacts on a society. Modernization is used to define the improvements and show a progressive transition from one stage to another. Westernization is the concept of being influenced by the customs and techniques of the western society and reflecting them in a non-western culture. This essay will discuss furtherly about the impact of the western society on music cultures of North India and Korea by looking from both the positive and negative point of this impact.

Music from all over the world presents a range of musical theories. Some of these are documented in writing whilst others are transmitted orally. Discuss and give examples with reference to both Western and non-Western music.
