Folk music part 1
This document provides an overview of the history and development of folk music in America. It discusses how folk music originated from British ballads and songs brought over by immigrants. These songs were passed down orally through generations living in isolation in the Appalachian Mountains. Scholars like Francis Child began collecting and documenting these ballads in the late 1800s. In the early 1900s, collectors like Cecil Sharp traveled to Appalachia seeking "authentic" folk music still using old British tunes. Their field collections helped popularize folk music again but were also subject to cultural biases. The document examines debates around what constituted "authentic" versus commercialized folk music in America.

t is not always easy to find the right gift for someone important or spe-
cial. We spend hours, days and even sleepless nights thinking and wor-
rying that our choice will impress our giftee. We want it to be perfect,
special and sometimes make a statement. Such was the case in the summer
of 1801 when a Baptist preacher from Cheshire, MA named John Leland
wanted to give a collective gift of magnitude to newly elected President
Thomas Jefferson. The gift? A mammoth sized cheese made from the milk
of 900 cows. The milk was deposited into a cider press to form it into a
round measuring 4 feet across and 15 inches thick, weighing 1,234 lbs.
The enormous gift was a reward for Jefferson’s support of religious liberty.
Jefferson believed in separating church from state. Reverend Leland per-
suaded the members of his Baptist congregation, who were mainly farm-
ers, to show their love and support of their favorite President by using
their skills to create the best and largest wheel of cheese ever. The towns-
people worked hard and sang hymns while they labored. They would
worry how to deliver their giant masterpiece later when it was finished.
When they were through, Leland had an inscription engraved into the top
of the cheese that read: “Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.”
The cheese was ready for delivery
in November. Its history says that
it was transported by sleigh and

n England in 1908, the Women’s Social and Political Union or WSPU,
adopted the color scheme of purple, white and green, that would not
only distinguish them in their political movement, but would also
prove to be a huge marketing success.
Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence, editor of the weekly newspaper, Votes for
Women wrote, ‘Purple as everyone knows is the royal color, it stands for
the royal blood that flows in the veins of every suffragette, the instinct of
freedom and dignity…white stands for purity in private and public
life…green is the color of hope and the emblem of spring.’
One of the intentions of the colors was to promote public awareness of
the depth of the belief for suffrage in England. Women were encouraged
to ‘wear the colors’ to show support for the movement and to stand out
in the crowds during public demonstrations. They particularly wanted
the men that were opposed to the movement, to be aware of the connec-
tion of the colors to the suffrage, and in this, they succeeded. The char-
acters on many anti-suffrage postcards drawn by male artists of that
period were often draped in sashes and banners of purple, white and
green, presuming that a suffragette would be recognized by her colors,
even by the opposition of the movement.
The head of the WSPU was Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughter,
Sylvia, was their official artist. She
was a painter and designer of very
high quality and her imaginative
artwork was an invaluable contri-
bution to the WSPU. She designed

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
