Bore (wind instruments)

The bore of a wind instrument is its interior chamber that defines a flow path through which air travels and is set into vibration to produce sounds. The shape of the bore has a strong influence on the instrument's timbre.

Bore shapes

The cone and the cylinder are the two idealized shapes used to describe the bores of wind instruments. These shapes affect the harmonics associated with the timbre of the instrument. The conical bore has a timbre composed of odd and even harmonics, while the closed cylindrical bore or closed tube is composed primarily of odd harmonics. The harmonic characteristics of instruments such as the clarinet (closed cylinder) are more variable than a given waveform and bore alone is not the only determining factor. The timbre of a clarinet, for instance, mainly depends on the construction of the mouthpiece and the properties of the reed. Furthermore, minute changes in air pressure and pressure applied to the reed (vibrato, slurs) modulate the tone.

Bore (surname)

Bore or Boré is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:

Bore (woreda)

Bore is one of the woredas in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Guji Zone, Bore is bordered on the south by Ana Sora, on the west by the Uraga, and on the north and east by the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region. The largest town in Bore is Bore.

Overview

The altitude of this woreda ranges from 1800 to 2900 metres above sea level; Mount Sutaa being the highest mountain in the district is only 6 km from Bore town. Main rivers include the Gannaalee and Buqqisaa,. Before the split, notable local landmark is the Me'ee Bokkoo, next the main road to Boonbaa. This is an open field kept clear of large trees but covered with grass, and except for grazing cattle no agricultural activity is permitted there. It is considered a sacred place to the local Oromo, for it is designated where the traditional leader known as Abba Gadaa convenes the tribal assembly. A survey of the land in this woreda shows that 29% is arable or cultivable (20.9% was under annual crops), 33% pasture, 30% forest, and the remaining 8% is considered swampy, degraded or otherwise unusable. Barley, wheat, corn, teff, and horse bean are important crops. False banana, " Weesii" is widely planted and used in every day consumption.Coffee is also an important cash crop; between 20 and 50 square km are planted with it.

Warning (Green Day album)

Warning (stylized as Warning:) is the sixth studio album by the American punk rock band Green Day, released on October 3, 2000, by Reprise Records. Building upon its predecessor, Nimrod (1997), the album eschewed the band's trademark punk rock sound and incorporated acoustic elements and pop and folk styles. Lyrically, the record contains more optimistic and inspirational themes in comparison with the band's earlier releases. Warning was also Green Day's first album since Kerplunk (1992) that was not produced by Rob Cavallo, although he did have a hand in its production and was credited as executive producer.

Despite mixed criticism towards the band's stylistic change, the album received mostly positive reviews from music critics, who praised vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong's songwriting. Although it peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200 chart, Warning represented the lowest commercial slump in Green Day's career, being the band's first album since signing to a major record label not to achieve multi-platinum status. The album has nonetheless been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America and, as of December 2012, has sold 1.2 million copies. Warning was reissued on vinyl on July 14, 2009.

Misery (Soul Asylum song)

"Misery" is a 1995 song performed by the Minneapolis rock band Soul Asylum. Although Let Your Dim Light Shine critically suffered in comparison to its predecessor, Grave Dancers Union, the single, "Misery", reached number 20 on The Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in the US. The song featured prominently in Kevin Smith's 2006 movie Clerks II and on an episode of the TV show Hindsight. It was also parodied by "Weird Al" Yankovic as "Syndicated Inc." on his album Bad Hair Day. The B side on the single is Hope, a cover song from The Descendents' first album Milo Goes to College (1982).

Misery was a death metal band from Brisbane, Australia. Since forming in 1991, the band has released four albums and an EP. The band split in 2005, but has reformed once more for an East Coast Australian tour in support of its final album On Demon Wings in 2009.

Background

The group was formed in 1991 by bassist Damon Robinson and guitarist Scott Edgar, who had both been members of earlier Brisbane groups Guardian, Northwinds, Savage, A.I.M. and Black Magic. The band's first line-up featured Robinson, Edgar, drummer Anthony Dwyer, Northwinds guitarist Brad Allen, and vocalist Darren Goulding. Allen was soon replaced by Laszlo Khaninghinis, and the band recorded two demos in 1992 - Sorting of the Insects and Astern Diabolus before releasing their first album A Necessary Evil in 1993.

Soon after the album's release, Misery's reputation as a heavy act was immediately established, and the band undertook its first national tour in support of Pungent Stench. Goulding was fired from the group not long after the tour, to be replaced by former Mausoleum vocalist Moises Contreras. Goulding would later go on to front Sydney band Sulkus, Wagga Wagga death metal group Manticore, and Sydney nu-metal outfit Art Imitates Crime. In 1994, the band released the Insidious EP with Contreras on vocals; its accompanying video clip Torn was banned from television airplay. Supports with Deicide and Morbid Angel, and an appearance at the Big Day Out festival soon followed. Contreras' stay with the band would also be short-lived, and after his departure Robinson decided to take up the band's vocal duties himself. Contreras would go on to form melodic death metallers Sakkuth.
