Called the Journey of Reconciliation, the ride only challenged segregation on buses and was limited to the upper South to avoid the more dangerous Deep South.
The ride, however, failed to elicit much national attention or the results CORE had hoped for.
Fourteen years later, in a new national context of sit-ins, boycotts, and the emergence of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the Freedom Rides were able to harness enough national attention to force federal enforcement and policy changes.

Like cash-based retirement plans, ESOPs are subject to eligibility and vesting requirements and provide employees with monetary benefits upon retirement, death, or disability.
An employee strike is an episode wherein a company's work force engages in a work stoppage in an effort to elicit changes from its employer in such areas as wages, benefits, job security, and management practices.
Strikes are typically engineered by labor unions, whose memberships accounted for approximately 15 percent of all employees in the United States in the late 1990s (about 10 percent of all private sector employees).

Galadriel's sound is a rich blend of the dramatic complex melodic progressive, containing many subtleties and submodals, along with symphonic tendencies and a strong folk influence; Vocalist Jesus Filardi may elicit comparison to Yes' Jon Anderson, but there are few similarities between the two bands beyond that.
I wonder at how Garsnek was able to elicit several really unique sounds from his archaic keyboards.
You'll hear on this album, for example, such solos that sound like a talk between two dolls or like a childish (or dolly's) drivel, apart from Karabbas Barabbas-alike vocals, other strange voices, etc. Of course, 'pure' instrumental parts are the most progressive here.

 Frege and Language [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
But if we produce the symbol of an idea that a perception has called to mind, we create in this way a firm, new focus about which ideas gather.
We then select another idea from these in order to elicit its symbol.
Thus we penetrate step by step into the inner world of our ideas and move about there at will, using the realm of sensibles itself to free ourselves from its constraint.
