Waste

Waste and wastes are unwanted or unusable materials. Waste is any substance which is discarded after primary use, or it is worthless, defective and of no use.

The term is often subjective (because waste to one person is not necessarily waste to another) and sometimes objectively inaccurate (for example, to send scrap metals to a landfill is to inaccurately classify them as waste, because they are recyclable). Examples include municipal solid waste (household trash/refuse), hazardous waste, wastewater (such as sewage, which contains bodily wastes (feces and urine) and surface runoff), radioactive waste, and others.

Waste (play)

Waste is a play by the English author Harley Granville Barker. It exists in two wholly different versions, from 1906 and 1927. The first version was refused a license by the Lord Chamberlain and had to be performed privately by the Stage Society in 1907; the second was finally staged in public at the Westminster Theatre in 1936.

Plot

The plot centres around ambitious independent politician Henry Trebell, his plans for a bill to disestablish the Church of England and his fall from grace and suicide after his affair with married woman Amy O'Connell, who dies after a botched abortion. The title may refer to the waste of his potential talents due to the scandal, the loss of the disestablishment bill and the termination of Amy's pregnancy.

Dramatis personae (1927 version)

  • Gilbert Wedgecroft, Trebell's doctor
  • Walter Kent, Trebell's secretary
  • Amy O'Connell, Trebell's lover
  • Russell Blackborough, Tory MP and financier
  • Justin O'Connell, Amy's estranged Irish husband
  • Lord Charles Cantilupe, Tory MP

    Fill (music)

    In popular music, a fill is a short musical passage, riff, or rhythmic sound which helps to sustain the listener's attention during a break between the phrases of a melody. "The terms riff and fill are sometimes used interchangeably by musicians, but [while] the term riff usually refers to an exact musical phrase repeated throughout a song", a fill is an improvised phrase played during a section where nothing else is happening in the music. While riffs are repeated, fills tend to be varied over the course of a song. For example, a drummer may fill in the end of one phrase with a sixteenth note hi-hat pattern, and then fill in the end of the next phrase with a snare drum figure. In drumming, a fill is defined as a "short break in the groove--a lick that 'fills in the gaps' of the music and/or signals the end of a phrase. It's kind of like a mini-solo. A fill may be played by rock or pop instruments such as the electric lead guitar or bass, organ, or drums, or by other instruments such as strings or horns. In blues or swing-style scat singing, a fill may even be sung. In a hip-hop group, a fill may consist of rhythmic turntable scratching performed by a DJ.

    EASY TO FALL

    by: Journey

    In the morning, sunlight shining
    The face in the mirror knows the crime
    Voices cry from the darkness
    A broken promise one more time
    You say you believe in love
    And still you run
    You only believe in God when you come undone
    So here you are
    You brought everything on yourself
    So easy to fall
    When you're all alone by yourself
    He said he's tried everything he could
    A fool's illusion one more lie
    There'll be demons waitin' in the shadows of a concrete world
    Tears are runnin' tonight
    You say you believe in love
    And still you run
    You only believe in God when you come undone
    So here you are
    You brought everything on yourself
    So easy to fall, (easy to fall)
    When you're all alone by yourself
    Words unspoken
    The words unspoken
    The words unspoken
    The words unspoken
