Chinese music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Musical instruments were traditionally classified into 8 categories known as bayin.[2] Traditional music in China is played on solo instruments or in small ensembles of plucked and bowed stringed instruments, flutes, and various cymbals, gongs, and drums. The scale is pentatonic. Bamboo pipes and qin are among the oldest known musical instruments from China; instruments are traditionally divided into categories based on their material of composition: animal skins, gourd, bamboo, wood, silk, earth/clay, metal, and stone. Chinese orchestras traditionally consist of bowed strings, woodwinds, plucked strings and percussion.
  • The term guoyue, or national music, became popular in early 20th century and was used loosely to include all music written for Chinese instruments in response to a particular nationalistic consciousness.[11] The term however may have slightly different meaning when used by different Chinese communities. Originally it is used only referred to the music of the Han Chinese, later it may also include music of various ethnic minorities in China. In the new Republic of China in Taiwan, Guoyue emphasized music of the mainland China over the Taiwanese local traditions. In mainland China a new term minyue (民乐, short for minzu yinyue or "people's music") was coined post-1949 in place of guoyue to encompass all compositions and genres for traditional instruments. In other Chinese communities, it may also be referred to as huayue (for example in Singapore) or zhongyue (in Hong Kong)

  • It’s hard to say when we as a country started to become obsessed with British artists, but it is certainly true that we have. You almost can’t listen to the radio nowadays without hearing at least one British artist, if not more. Boy bands like One Direction and The Wanted have pretty much taken over, making teenage girls go crazy and selling out concerts like it’s nothing. Solo acts such as Ed Sheeran and Cher Lloyd have been gaining popularity as well, performing on countless television and award shows. You can’t forget the more seasoned artists like Adele and Jessie J, who have proven that some of the best voices come from across the pond. Breaking America has been seen as a big accomplishment for British artists in the past, but with our willingness to accept them nowadays, it is not quite as hard as it used to be! Of course, it is still an admirable accomplishment and I am sure that the British craze will not die down anytime soon. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular British artists of the moment.

  • “One of the things that has become starkly clear to me in my visit is that there’s no grey area here between controlling the disease on the one hand and widespread disaster on the other. We’re at an absolute tipping point where either the disease is contained to the low tens of thousands, or it becomes an epidemic of a very serious kind.”

Ebola virus disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • The spread of Ebola between people occurs only by direct contact with the blood or body fluids of a person after symptoms have developed.[1][3] Body fluids that may contain ebolaviruses include saliva, mucus, vomit, feces, sweat, tears, breast milk, urine, and semen.[23] Entry points include the nose, mouth, eyes, or open wounds, cuts and abrasions.[23] Contact with objects contaminated by the virus, particularly needles and syringes may also transmit the infection.[24] The virus is able to survive on objects for a few hours in a dried state and can survive for a few days within body fluids.[23] Ebola virus may be able to persist in the semen of survivors for up to seven weeks after recovery, which could give rise to infections via sexual intercourse.[1] Otherwise, people who have recovered are not infectious.[24] The potential for widespread infections in countries with medical systems capable of observing correct medical isolation procedures is considered low.[25] Usually when someone has symptoms, they are sufficiently unwell that they are unable to travel without assistance.[26]

      Ebola is out of control and threatens 3 countries and immediately 15 others. 
  • Professor Peter Piot, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said it would not have been difficult to contain the outbreak if those on the ground and the UN had acted promptly earlier this year. “Something that is easy to control got completely out of hand,” said Piot, who was part of a team that identified the causes of the first outbreak of Ebola in Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of Congo, in 1976 and helped bring it to an end.

Transmission | Chikungunya virus | CDC - 0 views

  • Transmission  Through mosquito bites Chikungunya virus is transmitted to people through mosquito bites. Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on a person already infected with the virus. Infected mosquitoes can then spread the virus to other people through bites. Chikungunya virus is most often spread to people by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. These are the same mosquitoes that transmit dengue virus. They bite mostly during the daytime.
