One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man." The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of.

Fallacious ad hominem arguments which attack villains holding the opposing view are often confused with appeals to spite.

The system has been criticised and revised over the years, but remains widely used by ethnomusicologists and organologists. Andre Schaeffner, a curator at the Musée de l'Homme, disagreed with the Hornbostel-Sachs system and developed his own system in 1932. Schaeffner believed that the pure physics of a musical instrument, rather than its specific construction or playing method, should always determine its classification. (Hornbostel-Sachs, for example, divide aerophones on the basis of sound production, but membranophones on the basis of the shape of the instrument). His system divided instruments. "tensibilia" (stringed instruments), "inflatibilia" (wind instruments), and "percussibilia" (all percussion instruments). In 1880, Victor-Charles Mahillon adapted the "Natya Shastra" and assigned Greek labels to the four classifications: "chordophones" (stringed instruments), "membranophones" (skin-head percussion instruments), "aerophones" (wind instruments), and "autophones" (non-skin percussion instruments). Erich von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs adopted Mahillon's scheme and published an extensive new scheme for classification in "Zeitschrift für Ethnologie" in 1914. Hornbostel and Sachs used most of Mahillon's system, but replaced the term "autophone" with "idiophone". The original Hornbostel-Sachs system classified instruments into four main groups: Sachs later added a fifth category, electrophones, such as theremins,. does not specify if these two classifications pre-date Schaeffner or Pollux. The concept, the way the person produces the sound, is human-centered, which is part of their traditional culture so presumably they at least pre-date Schaeffner. The MSA (Multi-Dimensional Scalogram Analysis) of René Lysloff and Jim Matson, using 37 variables, including characteristics of the sounding body, resonator, substructure, sympathetic vibrator, performance context, social context, and instrument tuning and construction, corroborated Schaeffner, producing two categories, aerophones and the chordophone-membranophone-idiophone combination. Another similar system is the five-class, physics-based organology that was presented by Steve Mann in 2007, comprises Gaiaphones (Chordophones, Membranophones, and | 1 | what category of instruments do synthesizers fall in | None |

In 1834, Charles Wheatstone developed a method of using a rapidly rotating mirror to study transient phenomena, and applied this method to measure the velocity of electricity in a wire and the duration. Collimator A collimator is a device that narrows a beam of particles or waves. To narrow can mean either to cause the directions of motion to become more aligned in a specific direction (i.e., make collimated light or parallel rays), or to cause the spatial cross section of the beam to become smaller (beam limiting device). An English physicist Henry Kater was the inventor of the floating collimator, which rendered a great service to practical astronomy. He reported about his invention in January 1825. In his report, Kater mentioned previous work in this area by Carl Friedrich Gauss and Friedrich. invention of the cathode ray tube (CRT) by Ferdinand Braun in 1897, which was used in television sets and oscilloscopes. It is today employed in sophisticated devices such as electron microscopes, electron beam lithography and particle accelerators. Like a wave, cathode rays travel in straight lines, and produce a shadow when obstructed by objects.

These conflicting properties caused disruptions when trying to classify it as a wave or particle. Crookes insisted it was a particle, while Hertz maintained it was a wave.

} | Joan of Arc (poem) Joan of Arc is a 1796 epic poem composed by Robert Southey. The idea for the story came from a discussion between Southey and Grosvenor Bedford, when Southey realised that the story would be suitable for an epic. The subject further appealed to Southey because the events of the French Revolution were concurrent to the writing of the poem and would serve as a parallel to current events. Eventually, Samuel Taylor Coleridge helped rewrite parts of the poem for a 1798 edition. Later editions removed Coleridge's additions along with other changes. The poem is divided into. the earliest volume of Jewish-American poetry. A review of "Alide" by "Lippincott's Monthly Magazine" was critical of Lazarus' style and elements of technique. Emma Lazarus Emma Lazarus (July 22, 1849 – November 19, 1887) was an American author of poetry, prose, and translations, as well as an activist. She wrote the sonnet "The New Colossus" in 1883, which includes "lines of world-wide welcome". Its lines appear inscribed on a bronze plaque on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, installed in 1903, a decade and a half after Lazarus's death. The last stanza of the sonnet was set to music. the line "To be men not destroyers." This stood as the close of "The Cantos" until later editions appended a brief dedicatory fragment addressed to Olga Rudge. Despite all the controversy surrounding both poem and poet, "The Cantos" has been influential in the development of English-language long poems since the appearance of the early sections in the 1920s. Amongst poets of Pound's own generation, both H.D. and William Carlos Williams wrote long poems that show this influence.
