life, affecting how his instruments were made, changed the perception of his instruments technically and socially. Antonio Stradivari was born in Bergamo Italy 1644. In his youth he lived in Cremona Italy, where he became the apprentice of Nicolo Amati. He had married twice, once in 1667 with a woman named Francesca, whom he had six children with. His first son only lived for six days. The rest later became priests, and apprentices of their father. Francesca then died in 1698. Soon after Stradivari
A Italian named Andrea Amati made the cutting edge violin family around the year 1555, bowed stringed instruments were imagined much sooner than this date. I say this Because you can even say a fiddle was before it. The violin as an instrument has developed after some time, as opposed to as a consummated item that was promptly imagined. While there are records of stringed instruments existing in Europe in the Middle Ages, it is suspected that the initially bowed, stringed instruments may have begun
Nyepi in Indonesia Every religion or culture in the world has its own way to define and celebrate its new year. For example, the Chinese have the Imlek year and they celebrate it as “Gong Xi Fat Choy,” which means, “Chinese New Year gift.” The Muslims have their Muharam year and they go to Masjid to pray.

The Problem and its Consequences Regular physical activity is one of the most important components to a healthy lifestyle. This can include running, walking, swimming, working in the garden or yard, as well as many other activities. However, American's are a more physically inactive society than they used to be, with as many as 31% of people currently being classified as inactive. The WHO (World Health Organization) places physical inactivity as the fourth leading risk factor for death worldwide
This paper talks about the gamma-ray explosions that occur in the universe and its effect if it were to occur close to the earth’s surface. The most energetic explosions to be recorded in the universe are the gamma ray bursts. Gamma ray bursts forms a representation of the events that occur in the cosmos due to its large luminosity that has been detected to approximately z-8.3. This has offered an exciting experience in the study and research of the astrophysics in its extreme condition. The paper
In my physics research paper, I will be discussing the mechanics of the violin, but first some history. The oldest relative of the violin was a lira which was held standing up and had a bow to create sound. This was one of the first string instruments. As the Byzantine Empire expanded it brought it’s values and instruments with them and mixing the cultures of Europe with theirs. Over the next centuries, Europe developed two different types of fiddles that had originally branched off the lira. The

Both as an violin player and composer, Vivaldi centered his career around music. By his immense skill as a violinist and as a composer, he gained fame and popularity in his own time in the Baroque era. He also produced a legacy that has lasted into modern times. Vivaldi had humble beginnings in Venice
