Get down

Get down is a stance, posture or movement in many traditional African cultures and throughout the African diaspora. It involves bending at the waist and knees, bringing the body low to the ground in moments of ecstasy or intensity. Bending at the knees and waist is an expression of profound spirituality and connectedness to the earth. It also indicates suppleness and conveys qualities and values of vitality, youthfulness and energy.

In Gahu choreography, often dancers move counterclockwise in a circle of alternating men and women; their performance includes "long passages of a lightly bouncy basic 'step' leavened with brief 'get down' sections in which the dancers lower their center of weight and move with intensified strength and quickness."

The term "get down" in popular music and slang is directly related to this particular element of the African aesthetic, filtered through the African-American experience. Use of the term by white Americans since the middle-20th century, though, is credited to the influence of a white disc jockey, Bill "Hoss" Allen, who used it on his nightly soul music shows on Nashville, Tennessee station WLAC.

Get Down! (album)

Get Down! is an album by Soulive that was released on September 24, 2002 as a reissue. It was originally recorded between March and June 1999. The album was produced by Jeff Krasno and Sean Hoess.

The album is widely regarded as Soulive's first album. With this release, Soulive made its debut with the typical jazz organ trio combination of Eric Krasno on guitar, Alan Evans on drums, and Neal Evans on a Hammond B3 . This album includes the popular "Uncle Junior," which has since become a fan favorite and major staple of a live Soulive performance.

Fluoronium

Fluoronium (systematically named fluoranium, and μ-fluorido-dihydrogen(1+)) is an inorganic cation with the chemical formula H
2F+
(also written [H
2F]+
). It contributes no colour to fluoronium salts. It is a very strong acid, and dilute fluoronium solutions are corrosive and can attack the skin. It can be formed by protonation or self-ionic dissociation of hydrogen fluoride:

or

The fluoronium ion is isoelectronic with water and the amide ion.

Whereas stable organic structures containing other halonium ions have been known since 1970, a fluoronium analog was not known until 2013 and even then only as an unstable short-lived entity.

The kinetic instability of the fluoronium ion is responsible for the extreme acidity of fluoroantimonic acid. The antimony pentafluoride molecule sequesters the fluoride ion produced by the homoassociation of hydrogen fluoride, leaving the fluoronium ion unable to revert to the more stable neutral hydrogen fluoride.
