Struggle (Woody Guthrie album)

Struggle is an album released by Folkways Records as a vinyl LP (catalogue no. FA 2485) in 1976 and as a CD in 1990. It contains recordings by folk artist Woody Guthrie, accompanied on some of the tracks by Cisco Houston and Sonny Terry. Songs on this album are commonly referred to as protest music, songs that are associated with a movement for social change.

The 1976 LP contains a 12-page booklet containing the complete lyrics of each song and detailed stories about many of them. In the boolklet, Moses Asch, then the director of Folkways Records, wrote the following as a general introduction: "This album came about this way: It was originally called 'STRUGGLE: DOCUMENTARY #1' and I issued it in 1946 on ASCH RECORDS. I had recorded the 6 songs, Pretty Boy Floyd, Buffalo Skinners, Union Burying Ground, Lost John, Ludlow Massacre, and The 1913 Massacre, on Woody's insistence that there should be a series of records depicting the struggle of working people in bringing to light their fight for a place in the America that they envisioned. ... The other songs are from my recordings of Woody during the many years that he was associated with me in ASCH, DISC, and FOLKWAYS RECORDS."

Struggle (Six Feet Deep album)

Struggle is the debut full-length album by the Christian metal band, Six Feet Deep.

Critical reception

Bradley Torreano from AllMusic writes: "Suffering from an unfortunate lack of melody, Six Feet Deep's pounding Struggle is a muddled blend of New York-style hardcore punk and the murky riffing of sludge metal. Although the material is charged with plenty of venom, the repetitive riffing and overall tone deserve better hooks than what is offered here. The hoarse yelps and roars attached to every song begin to wear out the listener though time, eventually rendering the second half of the album dull and headache-inducing. This is a shame, if only because of the excellent riffing displayed at times. But the overall album is pretty disappointing, made up of visceral ear assaults with no real payoff in the end." Cross Rhythms writes:"I was very much impressed by Focused, even to the point of giving them the throne and crown of hardcore music... But now I've thrown them off the throne and replaced them by Six Feet Deep. This is probably the most aggressive sounding Christian band I've heard with a seering style that is a cross between the Crucified (now defunct) and Pantera. Like most hardcore albums, the production is raw. But this doesn't matter because there's so much power behind this band's sound. All the songs are high points on this album, but the one's that really stand out are "Front", "Regret", "Nemesis", "Struggle", "Angry Son" and "Release". The lyrics are powerful in every song, covering many topics with the words on "Release" superb and worthy of an extremely loud "Amen" before we go out of the front door, and tell the world how great our God is. A hardcore band delivering an extremely hardcore message. And an extremely funky front cover."

Degree (angle)

A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of plane angle, representing ¹⁄₃₆₀ of a full rotation. It is not an SI unit, as the SI unit for angles is radian, but it is mentioned in the SI brochure as an accepted unit. Because a full rotation equals 2π radians, one degree is equivalent to π/180 radians.

History

The original motivation for choosing the degree as a unit of rotations and angles is unknown. One theory states that it is related to the fact that 360 is approximately the number of days in a year. Ancient astronomers noticed that the sun, which follows through the ecliptic path over the course of the year, seems to advance in its path by approximately one degree each day. Some ancient calendars, such as the Persian calendar, used 360 days for a year. The use of a calendar with 360 days may be related to the use of sexagesimal numbers.

Another theory is that the Babylonians subdivided the circle using the angle of an equilateral triangle as the basic unit and further subdivided the latter into 60 parts following their sexagesimal numeric system. The earliest trigonometry, used by the Babylonian astronomers and their Greek successors, was based on chords of a circle. A chord of length equal to the radius made a natural base quantity. One sixtieth of this, using their standard sexagesimal divisions, was a degree.
