Booker T. Washington的生平介绍
Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 – November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and political leader. He was the dominant figure in the African American community in the United States from 1890 to 1915. Representative of the last generation of black leaders born in slavery, he spoke on behalf of the large majority of blacks who lived in the South but had lost their right to vote. While his opponents called his powerful network of supporters the "Tuskegee Machine," Washington maintained his power because of the sponsorship of powerful whites, widespread support within the black business, educational and religious communities nationwide, his ability to raise large amounts of money from philanthropists, and his accommodation to the political realities of the age of Jim Crow segregation.Washington was born into slavery to a slave mother and white father, who was a nearby planter, in a rural area in southwestern Virginia. After emancipation, he worked in West Virginia in a variety of manual labor jobs before making his way to Hampton Roads seeking an education. He worked his way through Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute (now Hampton University) and attended college at Wayland Seminary (now Virginia Union University). After returning to Hampton as a teacher, in 1881 he was named as the first leader of the new Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.Washington attained national prominence for his Atlanta Address of 1895, which attracted the attention of politicians and the public, making him a popular spokesperson for African-American citizens. He built a nationwide network of supporters in many black communities, with black ministers, educators and businessmen composing his core supporters. Washington played a dominant role in black politics, winning wide support in the black community and among more liberal whites (especially rich Northern whites). He gained access to top national leaders in politics, philanthropy and education. Washington's efforts included cooperating with white people and enlisting the support of wealthy philanthropists, helping to raise funds to establish and operate thousands of small community schools and institutions of higher education for the betterment of blacks throughout the South. This work continued for many years after his death. Washington argued that the surest way for blacks to gain equal social rights was to demonstrate “industry, thrift, intelligence and property.”Northern critics called Washington's followers the "Tuskegee Machine". After 1909, Washington was criticized by the leaders of the new NAACP, especially W. E. B. Du Bois, who demanded a stronger tone of protest for advancement of civil rights needs. Washington replied that confrontation would lead to disaster for the outnumbered blacks, and that cooperation with supportive whites was the only way to overcome pervasive racism in the long run. At the same time, he secretly funded litigation for civil rights cases, such as challenges to southern constitutions and laws that disenfranchised blacks.In addition to his contributions in education, Washington wrote 14 books; his autobiography, Up From Slavery, first published in 1901, is still widely read today. During a difficult period of transition, he did much to improve the working relationship between the races. His work greatly helped blacks to achieve higher education, financial power and understanding of the U.S. legal system. This led to a foundation of the skill set needed to support the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and further adoption of important federal civil rights laws.

Norah Jones took the music world by surprise with her debut album Come away with Me. The multi-platinum selling release from a small jazz label made its way into the psyches of music listeners almost by osmosis. The album had no initial radio promotion and no video in high rotation, just Jones's smooth voice and an audience ready for something quiet and classic. Neil McCormick of the Daily Telegraph called her music "rich, smooth, jazzy soul that seems utterly timeless, inhabiting gentle songs of love and heartbreak with an understated eroticism that lends her an air of preter-natural awareness."
Jones was born on March 30, 1979, in New York City. At the time her mother was a music promoter who was involved with, but never married to, the famous Indian sitar player Ravi Shankar. Not long after Jones was born she and her mother moved to Grapevine, Texas, just outside of Dallas, where her mother supported them by working as a nurse. She had little contact with her father while growing up and wasn't even aware of his music until she was 18. Eventually they moved to Dallas where Jones attended Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.
Jones's classic style came from the various musical genres she listened to while growing up. She loved the pop songs she heard on the radio, but also spent a great deal of time delving into her mother's album collection, where she heard great women performers like Aretha Franklin and Etta James as well as singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell. She also enjoyed listening to musicals like Cats, Phantom of the Opera, and West Side Story.
At the age of five Jones started singing in a church choir. She also took piano lessons as a young girl and played the saxophone in marching band while attending Grapevine High School. When she transferred to the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts she began to focus on jazz, winning prizes at the annual Down Beat magazine Student Music Awards for Best Jazz Vocalist and Best Original Composition.
She studied jazz piano at the University of North Texas and played jazz standards at a restaurant on the weekends. She told Rolling Stone that that the songs of crooner Frank Sinatra were often the best received, but "[t]he only one I wouldn't do was 'My Way.' It sounds beautiful when Sinatra sings it, but I'm gonna sound like an idiot … I'm twenty years old! I can't even drink yet!" She claimed to Jim Macnie of VH1 that those gigs "[were] the best practice I could have ever had. That's where I learned to coordinate my singing and my piano playing."
After two years studying jazz at the university, Jones decided to try her skills in New York City. She moved into a friend's apartment and started exploring the jazz scene, working as a waitress by day and performing at small clubs in Greenwich Village by night. She met other artists and began to perform and record a little, but after about a year she began to despair of ever having a record deal. She wanted to go home, but, Jones told Steve Dougherty of People, her mother counseled otherwise. "My mom said, 'As much as I want you to come back, you should stay. Otherwise you'll feel like a failure.'"
Instead of moving back to Texas, Jones kept playing at small clubs. On the night of her twenty-first birthday she was performing when Blue Note employee Shell White took notice. White made it possible for Jones to audition for the label's CEO, Bruce Lundvall. She was an immediate hit, and for the second time in Lundvall's career as CEO he signed an artist on the spot. He told Josh Tyrangiel of Time, "[She has] a signature voice, right from the heart to you. When you're lucky enough to hear that, you don't hesitate. You sign it."
Almost as quickly, Jones began to record her first album. She was paired with producer Arif Mardin, who had worked with Aretha Franklin and Dusty Springfield. He kept things simple, highlighting Jones's piano playing and voice. When they were finished recording Come away with Me, they had a quirky album that mixed jazz standards, romantic originals, and even a bit of Hank Williams.
Come away with Me was released in February of 2002. By the end of the year, the album had crept onto several "favorites" lists and Jones had been highlighted in Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly as a rising star. The album eventually went multiplatinum, much to Jones' amazement. She told the Daily Telegraph, "I would have never, ever in my wildest imagination have thought any of this could happen. You see what's on TV … I'm not a good dancer … And you won't be seeing my belly button any time soon."
Jones and Blue Note were even more astounded when the album was nominated for eight Grammys. When awards night came around, Jones walked away with an armload of statues—five for her and one each for Jesse Harris who wrote the title song, for Mardin, and for engineers Jay Newland and S. Husky Höskulds. Jones was now a top-tier artist like Lauryn Hill and Alicia Keys, who won multiple Grammy awards in previous years.
Jones's rise to pop stardom has far outstripped her dreams of her success, and sometimes even her comfort level. She told Rolling Stone, "I didn't want to be on a pop label, because I know what comes with that. I didn't want to make videos. I didn't want to be expected to sell millions of records. I didn't ever want to be a celebrity."
In February of 2004, Jones released her eagerly anticipated second album. Feels Like Home proved the power of this unlikely pop star, rocketing to the top of the Billboard 200 chart within days of its release. Sales in the first week reached higher than any album since the 2001 release of the pop group N*Syncs' Celebrity. It also came in at number two for sales by a female artist in one week, bested only by pop singer Britney Spears's 2000 album Oops … I Did It Again.
Sales, airplay, and name recognition make Norah Jones a pop star. But her daily life still revolves around the close-knit group of friends she formed in her early days in New York. She eschews celebrity for funky comfort, and hasn't changed her style or her manners for anyone. "It's not even like I'm really trying to stay the same. I like my life. I like my friends. I don't want to go anywhere else," she told McCormick. As long as she keeps producing music that soothes the masses, it probably isn't going to matter.

我这个配置可以用的最好的显卡 换上之后玩剑灵如何？ wii模拟器的游戏如何？ 如 wwe13
首先 2G的内存加XP系统玩游戏就必须过时了
因为现在大型单机网游的需求都是至少2G-4G内存 加win7 64位系统 XP已被淘汰是不争的事实。第一 不支持DX11 游戏性能太差 第二 最大识别3G内存。有100G的内存条也只有3G可用。
第三 你的古董机上到最好的显卡也就是3 4 百的显卡将就用一下 剑灵果断不行的 CPU弱爆了 而3 4 百的显卡也只能开低效果了。
