Daniel Munczek Edelman’s boss did joke about his ethnicity because of the way he looked, he didn’t totally look like his other ethnicities and didn’t really involve himself

For my presentation, I would like to present a president not known much in this time and age but one who, in 1880, made drastic changes to the American government. This man was Chester A. Arthur.

His dream was to play college football for Oklahoma State University. He worked day in and day out. Because of his hard work and effort, not only did he get his dream of playing for OSU, it also gave him a first round draft pick with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

There is a quote that I feel connected very well: "The universe is always speaking to us...sending us little messages, causing coincidences and serendipities, reminding us to stop, look around, to believe in something else, something more." In order for us to connect to the world we all have to understand that more than we think is connected, if we think about it everything can be connected in some way. Specifically this essay will ultimately connect NFL superstar Peyton Manning all the way to why the birth cycle we have came to exist.

The image produced is reality to the artists eye, it can only be manipulated with light and angles.

Kool DJ Herc opened the door to the world for many up and comers such as Grandmaster Flash. DJ Grandmaster Flash and his group the Furious Five were hip-hop, greatest innovators, transcending the genres’ party music origins to explore the full scope of its lyrical and sonic horizons. Grandmaster Flash, born Joseph Saddler, began spinning records as a team growing up in the Bronx.

Over time he developed a series of groundbreaking techniques including “cutting” (moving between tracks exactly on beat), “back spinning” (manually turning records to repeat brief snippets of sound), and “phasing” (manipulating turntable speeds). In short Grandmaster Flash created the basic vocabulary, which DJ’s continue to follow even today (Brewster and Broughton, 2000).

The Black Plague and other illnesses resulted in a significant decrease in the overall population, which resulted in a shift of power from wealthy landlords to those who worked the land. As great estates were crumbling, they demanded hourly wages or bought their own land. Cities were growing larger and people were no longer defining themselves by their family or occupation into which they were born, rather they were thinking of themselves as individuals with the God-given power to shape their destiny.
