Entertainment: Musical entertainment in all settings and all cultures by Andrew Stratton
Author: Andrew Stratton Article Tools: Music has always been a popular way to enjoy an evening at home. If you have only a radio, turning to a classical station, oldies station or whatever your favorite type of music is and settling down to read, study or just dream a little has always been a popular recreational activity. Teenagers have been listening to rock and roll on the radio for years, but even before that, old time radio shows were welcome entertainment for the entire family. Fibber McGee and Molly, Amos and Andy, The Lone Ranger and Gunsmoke are just few of the radio shows that families listened to together. There were also live music shows from some of the famous big band performances.

As television entered the entertainment mainstream,louboutin shoes, musical variety shows were often popular. Who could forget Ed Sullivan?s presentation of the Beatles first performance in the U.S. Other favorites included The Dinah Shore Show, Tennessee Ernie Ford and later,abercrombie, the Dean Martin Show and later Sonny and Cher, The Monkees and Donny and Marie Osmond.

The record companies were selling singles,ralph lauren, then records and the then long-playing stereo records. Stereos were becoming accepted as fine furniture, at the same time as upscale stereo systems became more and more common. It seemed at times that the music was less important than the equipment that it was played on. Then almost overnight it seemed, eight-track cassettes were available and people switched to the handy map pocket sized cases with the tape players built into the cars. The tape players had hardly made it into automobiles before CD players were optional equipment and then standard equipment in many vehicles.

At home, CD players were built into computers and the speed and quality of the discs improved exponentially over the next few months. At the same time as the media forms were changing from records to CDs, many musical instruments sound was created electronically on electronic keyboards. These instruments had a piano like keyboard but added chords, rhythms and embellishments to a one finger melody. There are even prerecorded pieces that can be played.

Today, many people listen to music on headphones from an MP3 player or even to music pieces downloaded to their cell phones. Sharing musical ring tones, or musical pieces by their favorite artist with friends is a common way to spend an evening. At the same time as music carrying capacity jams more music into a smaller disk or memory card, televisions screens are getting larger and larger. In fact, you can listen to dozens of music stations sorted by genre on your television set billed as a home theater experience.

Today there are not many high class stereo systems including a radio, record player,abercrombie et fitch, and cassette player around. A mobile phone unit can pull in FM radio stations,Louboutin, play memory cards with dozens of songs per memory card in one small package, not much larger than a candy bar. By using a headphone or Bluetooth technology, each listener can be lost in a completely different kind of musical enjoyment.

Israel army chief warns those who think can 'eradicate' Israel

Israeli army chief, Lieutenant General Benny Gantz, warned on Wednesday that those who believed they can "eradicate" Israel will face the brunt of Israeli power, in a veiled threat to Iran.

"These days, the state of Israel and its residents are being threatened. These threats indicate a mistaken evaluation of our strength and capabilities," he said at a ceremony in memory of fallen soldiers.

"Those who believe they can eradicate Israel and act on these beliefs will face the brunt of the IDF power," he added, according to a military statement.

Gantz said the Israeli army was ready and "prepared along our country's borders" to thwart any such threats.

Gantz's remarks come just days after Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that the "cancerous tumour" of Israel is the biggest problem confronting Muslim countries today.

In a speech marking Eid al-Fitr, the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, Khamenei said "the big powers have dominated the destiny of the Islamic countries for years and... installed the Zionist cancerous tumour in the heart of the Islamic world," according to Iran's official IRNA news agency.

"Many of the Islamic world's problems come from the existence of the sham Zionist regime," he was quoted as saying.

And last week Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also told an annual anti-Israel protest in Tehran that the Jewish state was a "cancerous tumour" that will soon be excised, drawing Western rebukes.

"The Zionist regime and the Zionists are a cancerous tumour," he said.

"The nations of the region will soon finish off the usurper Zionists in the Palestinian land.... A new Middle East will definitely be formed. With the grace of God and help of the nations, in the new Middle East there will be no trace of the Americans and Zionists," Ahmadinejad said.

Khamenei and Ahmadinejad have long used the word "tumour" to portray Israel as an illegitimate state in the Middle East that will inevitably disappear.

There expressions have often met with condemnation from world leaders.

Tensions between Israel and Iran are taut because of threats by the Jewish state to attack nuclear facilities in the Islamic republic to prevent it reaching the capability to produce nuclear weapons.

Israel and its ally, the United States, accuse Iran of seeking to develop an atomic arsenal.

Tehran denies that, and says its nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful. Its military chiefs warn they will destroy Israel if it attacks.

Mars Rover Curiosity to Take 1st Martian Drive Wednesday

After more than two weeks of sitting still, NASA's Mars rover Curiosity is finally set to roll out on the Red Planet with its debut drive on Wednesday (Aug. 22).

Engineers successfully tested the rover's steering abilities yesterday (Aug. 20), and now they're ready to turn its six wheels for the first time since Curiosity landed on Mars?on Aug. 5, officials announced today.

"Everything's in fine shape, and that means we are 'go' for our first test drive tomorrow," Curiosity mission manager Mike Watkins, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., told reporters today.

Curiosity's first drive on Mars will be a short one. The rover will move about 10 feet (3 meters) forward, turn in place to the right, and then back up a few meters. The whole operation should take the rover about 30 minutes, Watkins said. [Latest Mars Photos by Curiosity Rover]

Taking it slow

The 1-ton Curiosity rover is the heart of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission (MSL), which seeks to determine if the Red Planet could ever have hosted microbial life. The rover is exploring a huge crater called Gale that's about 96 miles wide?(154 kilometers) .

Curiosity's main target is the base of Mount Sharp, the 3.4-mile-high (5.5 km) mountain rising from Gale Crater's center. Mount Sharp's foothills appear to bear clays and sulfates, suggesting the area was exposed to liquid water long ago.

But the rover's first big set of drives will take it away from its ultimate destination, toward a spot mission scientists have dubbed Glenelg. Glenelg, which is about 1,300 feet (400 m) from Curiosity's landing site, hosts three different geological formations that mission scientists are eager to investigate.

If all goes well with tomorrow's driving test and a few other checkouts, Watkins said, Curiosity could start heading for Glenelg around Sol 20 or so ? mission lingo for its 20th full day on Mars. That corresponds roughly to Saturday (Aug. 25), since Sol 16 begins this evening.

The mission team eventually wants Curiosity to cover about 330 feet (100 m) or more of Martian ground in a big driving day, but that probably won't happen for a while.

"It's going to take us a little while to get up to that rate," Watkins said. "This first set of drives ? not just the test drive tomorrow but actually the drive to Glenelg ? we'll probably do that in pretty small chunks, just to evaluate, you know, what's going on and take a look at the processing algorithms. My guess is that those are going to go in 10- to 20-meter chunks."

In good shape

Researchers have been checking out Curiosity and its 10 science instruments since the rover landed, ensuring that it's ready for its two-year surface mission.

By and large, the checkouts have been going extremely well, team members have said. On Sunday (Aug. 19), for example, engineers deployed Curiosity's 7-foot-long (2.1 m) robotic arm for the first time and did motor checks on its many tools, which include a percussive drill and soil-scooping gear.

"All of that went successfully as well," Watkins said.

And on Friday (Aug. 17), Curiosity used its Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons (DAN) instrument for the first time on Mars. DAN measures the amount of hydrogen ? an indicator of water ? in the Martian soil by peppering the ground with neutrons and then observing the extent to which they scatter back.

Curiosity's ChemCam instrument ? which fires a laser at rocks and then determines their composition by analyzing the vaporized bits ? also got its first workout over the weekend. It's performing even better than anticipated, researchers said.

Curiosity's onboard weather station, which is called REMS (short for Rover Environmental Monitoring Station), has been switched on. From Aug. 16 to Aug. 17, it measured ground temperatures as high as 37 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) and as low as minus 131.8 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 91 degrees Celsius).

However, REMS is not working perfectly on the Martian surface. Wind sensors on one of the instruments' two booms have been damaged, perhaps by rocks deposited on Curiosity's deck during or shortly after landing, researchers said.

But wind sensors on the other boom are working fine, so the team doesn't anticipate too much of an impact.

"We still retain nearly the full capability, just with a little bit of ambiguity in terms of wind direction," said MSL deputy project scientist Ashwin Vasavada of JPL.
