New York Acquires: Kyle Palmieri, Travis Zajac
New York Islander Fan Central | 4/07/2021 08:48:00 PM |
Lamoriello said both players will be at morning skate on Thursday, both players happy to be coming, want to win. Sure NYI website will have his media conference later. Devils gm, Tom Fitzgerald, hoped it would be the 32nd pick because both players deserve to win the Cup.
"I know what they bring on the ice," Islanders president and GM Lou Lamoriello, who has worked with both Zajac and Palmieri in his previous position with the Devils, said. "I know who they are as people and how well they'll fit in the locker room. Chemistry is extremely important. Their experience, their talent, their competitiveness, especially in this division, knowing what they have to go through, brings excitement on our end."
"When I heard that the Islanders could be an option, I couldn't have been more excited," Palmieri said. "As the days wore on here, there was a little bit of anxiety in terms of waiting for that call. I got that call tonight and it was really difficult to contain the excitement of joining this team."
"It's a bolt of energy for sure," Zajac said. "You're excited to come in this situation and coming to a team that just does things the right way. They know how to win. They're tough to play against, they're consistent. It's exciting to be a part of that group."
#Isles Transaction: The #Isles have acquired forwards Kyle Palmieri & Travis Zajac from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for forwards Greer, Jobst, the #Isles 1st round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft & a conditional 4th round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. 1/2 https://t.co/BaV5g2DcNN
— New York Islanders (@NYIslanders) April 7, 2021
CONT: New Jersey agrees to retain 50% of both Palmieri and Zajac's salaries. 2/2 https://t.co/BaV5g2DcNN
NYIFC Comments: A lot to digest there. We know 1st was likely going to be outside the lottery picks. (or could be conditional upon making Covid Cup Playoffs) Greer/Jobst, were hardly top level prospects, and conditional pick could be contingent upon winning Covid Cup. Want to sit with this a while, but on the surface, like the trade, they clearly did not have enough, and they kept Wahlstrom, Bellows, Dal Colle, and their top prospects, and players with some apparent value in Wilde, Bolduc, and Holmstrom.

"Learning to teach German" (DLL), the innovative advanced training and continued professional development of the Goethe-Institut focuses on classroom lessons. The new advanced training and professional development series of the Goethe-Institut was specifically tailored for teachers of German as a foreign language (DaF) and German as a second language (DaZ). DLL provides practice-oriented qualifications for teachers worldwide – be it at the primary or the secondary level or adult education.
For whom is DLL meant?
Special permission is granted in case of justified exceptions. Please consult us in such cases.
The innovative concept of DLL was developed taking into consideration the daily regimen and the challenges faced by a teacher in the classroom. Traditional topics such as training of skills, grammar and vocabulary, phonetics, literature, social forms etc. are integrated in a competence- and practice oriented concept.
An essential aspect of this didactic concept of the advanced training in DLL is a research, which is to be done by the teacher in a practice or teaching session: Learning in the classroom is thereby optimized, in that a teacher observes and reflects on others' and one's own class, recognizes new methods and tries them out in his/her class.
Recordings of the class and the completion of projects on practical research (PEPs) help teachers to reflect and update the abilities they already possess and make them apply the new observations in class.
Besides, the collective training in a group of international participants within the framework of DLL opens up the possibility for a direct exchange with motivated colleagues on the subject of classroom teaching.
Every DLL module is available from the Klett-Langenscheidt-Publishers in book form along with a DVD. It can also be accessed online and used interactively on the Learning Platform of the Goethe-Institut. DLL therefore offers the teachers the maximum possible flexibility to organize their advanced training or professional development at their own pace.
The knowledge and ability gained during the training or through teaching experience will be updated and broadened. German teachers will be confident in their teaching methods and be able to constantly grow as teachers with the help of the so-called practical research projects (PEPs). The program BASIS, consisting of 6 modules, hones the skills described in the European profile for teaching skills at the basic level.
Click here for more information on the approach to advanced training in didactics.
This advanced training and continuing education program is directed at German teachers exclusively from the South Asian region.
DLL is offered as an online advanced training program including a one or two day face-to-face seminar at the end of every DLL module.
What does the Advanced Training Program offer?
The DLL modules (DLL1 to DLL6) can be chosen and booked individually, enabling a flexible time-table and intensity of learning. The pace of learning can to an extent be self-determined. This program is therefore particularly suitable for training alongside a profession.
networking and exchange with participants from the region.
Access to a comprehensive multimedia data bank with documentation of classes.
one or two day face-to-face meeting at a Goethe-Institut in South-Asia. In individual cases this seminar will be conducted via Skype, Adobe Connect etc.
The number of participants per course is restricted to a maximum of 18.
observing experienced colleagues and thereby gain inputs for one's own classes.
Working on a practical research project (PEP) at the end of every module makes it possible to put into practice what has been learnt.
After successfully completing a module ( i.e. completion of at least 75% assignments in a module , as well as presentation and documentation of the practical research project - PEP ) a Goethe-Institut certification can be obtained.
Applications for all training periods are possible any time until two weeks before the beginning of the desired course.
You will be informed about the modes of payment by your respective Goethe-Institut.
Send in your application by Mail to the contact person of your respective Goethe-Institut.
You will be enrolled as soon as you send us the application form by E-Mail, provided a place is available.
Within a week after your payment you will receive a confirmation from the respective Goethe-Institut regarding your admission to the course.

The course fees can be paid during registration either by cash or by demand draft. Detailed information will be provided by your respective Goethe-Institut.
Fees will depend on the cost of the course at the time of registration.
In case of withdrawal until 1 week before the beginning of the course, an administrative charge of 20% of the entire course fees will be charged.
In case of withdrawal until 1 day before the beginning of the course, 50% of the course fees will be deducted.
In case of failure to join or drop-outs, no refund will be possible.
5.1 The maximum number of participants in an online-course is 18 participants, the minimum number is 12.
5.2 The institute reserves the right to change an instructor or to appoint several instructors.
5.3 The Goethe-Institut reserves the right to cancel a course, due to small number of participants. In this case the entire amount of the course fees will be refunded or credited for another DLL module.

Abstract: Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are a class of computational models that mimic the process of natural evolution and adaptation to the environment. Many researchers have noted the parallel between the above and the `optimum' seeking behaviour required in many aspects of problem solving. There are an increasing number of hybridized applications that employ some form of evolutionary competition and adaptation in conjunction with the computer simulation of an engineering model. In this paper, we review three of these hybridized applications and share some of the insights gained from designing and operating hybridized GA applications.

In the short run, some speed-up of growth can be expected in Macedonia as external demand continues to improve and that feeds into investment and consumption. At the same time, some deterioration of external balances could be expected, but that should not threaten the exchange rate and the macroeconomic stability. Some growth of employment is also likely, though not enough to make a noticeable dent in the rate of unemployment. A significant acceleration of growth cannot be expected even in the medium term.

Studio Visit with Dystopian Artist Daniel Arsham
We stopped by the Snarkitecture founder's Long Island City studio as he prepared for his latest show with Perrotin New York.

Grand Hotel Kempinski Riga atsāk tematisko svētdienu vēlo brokastu sēriju
Daniel Arsham's Long Island City art studio is a canvas in and of itself. Blindingly white—including walls, ceiling, embedded art pieces (i.e. a protruding figure trapped between paint and wall frame), and staff uniforms (crisp lab coats)—it's both chaotic and oddly minimalist. The chaos comes from all the bodies buzzing around the ground floor, an office space shared with art/architecture collaboration Snarkitecture, which Arsham co-founded with Alex Mustonen in 2008, and a multi-room workshop soundtracked by drilling noises.
The second floor conference room, furnished with exacting symmetry by Snarkitecture, features a sprawling, serene view of the East River. It's where we sit down, cans of La Croix on hand, to talk a bit about his latest exhibition for Perrotin New York titled 3018—the one all the bodies downstairs are helping Arsham prepare for. "This exhibition," Arsham says, "I've been working on for almost two years, so there's a constant struggle between thinking about new ideas and implementing ones which are two years in the past."
The new pieces in 3018 perpetuate Arsham's fascination with destruction and rebuilding. Among the stars is a recast 1961 Ferrari 250GT California, recognizable for its role as an object of lust in Ferris Bueller's Day Off [1986]. Cartoon figures in the shape of Mickey Mouse and Tweetie Bird are blanketed, tied up with rope as if trapped. "When I set out to select those objects, I'm often looking for things that are recognizable across different age sets and cultures," explains the 38-year-old, "for objects that sort of float in time. I think 50 years from now, they'll still have the same sort of feeling that they do today."
This is one of the reasons Arsham's fan demographic ranges from young hypebeasts, to the Basel art set, to rappers like Jay-Z and Swiss Beatz. Arsham himself speaks softly and slowly, seemingly shy, the only giveaway of a potential party alter ego are boxes of brightly colored sneakers stowed away on multiple shelves. He's wearing an equally eye-catching pair of kicks as we tour his studio, flashing the occasional side smile as he talks through his favorite things.
VINTAGE CAMERA COLLECTION
ARSHAM: Here you have these series of cameras: the original M6 that I've had for years, a couple of different film cameras, amazing old Japanese cameras that aren't produced anymore. I mostly shoot travel photos and, even though galleries and museums shoot work when they get it, I usually shoot my own work as well. It's a different way of looking at it. They're just for my own archive.
SERIES FOR 3018
ARSHAM: This is a new series of works that will be in the show; I'm showing them for the first time and they're cast books and magazine. But they're fictional titles. So I've combined things that are either influential on me or that represent some sort of unusual combination. The Year Of Magical Thinking is probably my favorite Joan Didion book. I just think she has a particular way of combining journalism and fiction and, like, this weird mix of two things. And I particularly like that California vibe. I'm just sort of blending these things and selecting things that I may know something about, but they're fictional titles. So these'll be in the show...this studio is just always chaotic [laughs].
PHOTO OF YURI GAGARIN, THE FIRST MAN IN SPACE
ARSHAM: [Here are] a bunch of Future Relic pieces, there's a photo back there of Yuri Gagarin. as an adventurer and somebody who is looking to push the boundary of what humans can do, he took a major terrifying choice to do that. I find his whole universe—the cult of personality around him—interesting. As well as all of technical things related to space travel and NASA.
ARSHAM: Let's go to the bonsai trees. There's a couple of different of different bonsai in here, one of which we made a larger version of. It's part of this garden work at the High Museum in 2015. One is from Florida, one's about 40 years old, something like that. Right now, in the summer, I sort of let them grow and then they get trimmed back at the end of the summer. here are my bonsai shears. [my co-worker] Austin waters it periodically [laughs]. Austin is definitely the plant expert. I mean there are all different types of trees. One tree is a type of ficus breed that are very resilient—very hard to kill that unless you over water it.
PIECE FOR 3018
ARSHAM: This is part of a whole series of pieces that have materials that shift. It's a shift in material from the original. That impression of rope in the fabric and...that sort of realism that comes about through them. There's a number of precedence for this kind of concealment of objects, like, works that Man Ray made in the 1930s and 1940s, through to Christo and Jeanne-Claude wrapping buidlings and things like that. But no fabric or rope in their works.
JOYA X ARSHAM STUDIO
ARSHAM: This is the scent that I spray into all of the exhibitions. We produced it with Joya. I think scent has the ability to induce memory and—it's not something that I really, like, tell people—but it's just a scent that's in the exhibitions. I selected it from a combination of compounds that I went through with Joya.

You Say You Want a Revolution?
Reformed Worldview
25 October 2021 by Wes Bredenhof
It used to be that the left had a monopoly on talk of revolution. You could count on leftists to wear their Che Guevara t-shirts and spout off about overthrowing the government. However, increasingly today I hear socially conservative Christians around the world calling for a revolution. They believe their governments have become tyrannical and democracy is not up to the task of overhauling the system. So now we have this bizarre world where folks on both the left and the right want a coup, an insurrection. The only difference being the slogans they bear: BLM on the left, MAGA on the right.
Confessionally Reformed Christians shouldn't have a bar of it. If we're historically self-conscious, we'll know that Reformed churches have always regarded the revolutionary impulse as sinful. In fact, we have a Confession to prove it.
There are several factors behind the writing of the 1561 Belgic Confession. In For the Cause of the Son of God, I argued that one key factor was a desire to spread the true gospel. Sadly, that missionary factor has often been ignored. One factor that has never been ignored, however, is the intention to demonstrate to the government of the Low Countries that the Reformed churches were not political revolutionaries.
There are two important pieces of historical context behind that. First, there were some Anabaptist groups who were revolutionaries. In 1534-35, one of these groups took over the city of Munster. The Melchiorites, under the leadership of John Mathijs and John Beukels, overthrew the local government and seized control of the city. After a lengthy and bloody siege, the city was eventually freed again in June of 1535. After this, Anabaptists were typically regarded as seditious and revolutionary. Moreover, all Protestants were often tarred with the same brush.
The second important piece of context is the political situation in the Low Countries. What we today call the Netherlands and Belgium were under the control of the Spanish. This was a brutal and intolerant regime. While Protestants were occasionally given the freedom to worship, most of the Reformation years saw much bloodshed and persecution. King Philip II, to whom the Belgic Confession was addressed, was far more of a tyrant than Justin Trudeau, Joe Biden, or Scott Morrison.
In the face of that, Guy de Brès wrote the Belgic Confession on behalf of the Reformed churches. One of his express purposes, as laid out in the preface to the King, was to demonstrate that the Reformed believers were law-abiding peaceful people. In other words, they were not to be confused with revolutionary Anabaptists like the Melchiorites in Munster. Read carefully what de Brès wrote in the original preface to the Confession:
…those who hold office and pass sentence and judgment in legal proceedings would be good witnesses that they never observed anything in us that leaned towards disobedience, nor did they discover in us the resolve in any way to militate against your Majesty, nor did they find anything that would disturb the common peace. Rather, they found that in our communal assemblies we pray for the kings and princes of the earth and in particular for you, O most gracious Lord, and for those whom you have authorized in the regime and ruling offices of the regions and countries of your domain. For we have been taught not only by God's Word but also through the constant instruction of our preachers that the kings, princes, and authorities are appointed by the ordinance of God.
Besides, we have been taught that he that resists the magistrates resists the ordinance of God and will receive damnation. We acknowledge and maintain that by the eternal wisdom of God the kings rule and the princes determine justice.Briefly stated, we believe that they have their office not through injustice or despotism, but by God's own appointment. In order to demonstrate that this is not merely the word of our lips but that it is a conviction most deeply impressed and imprinted upon our hearts, we ask: who has ever been found among us who has refused you, most gracious Lord, the tribute or tax required of him? On the contrary, obedience to pay was as quickly granted as the command was given. What cache of weapons, what conspiracy was ever uncovered, even when we had been subjected to such cruel pains and torment by those who have clothed themselves in your name and power to commit every cruelty against us?
Even though King Philip II was a tyrant, the Reformed churches showed him the utmost deference. There wasn't a hint of a revolutionary spirit.
This continues into the body of the Belgic Confession. Article 36 is about the civil government. There Reformed believers confess from the Scriptures that government has been instituted by God as a fruit of his grace. The Confession lays out the responsibilities of government, but then also speaks of the calling of the governed:
Moreover, everyone – no matter of what quality, condition, or rank – ought to be subject to the civil officers, pay taxes, hold them in honour and respect, and obey them in all things which do not disagree with the Word of God. We ought to pray for them, that God may direct them in all their ways and that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way (1 Tim. 2:1,2).
Again, remember that this was originally in the context of Spanish tyranny in the Low Countries. If that was true under those circumstances, how much more shouldn't it hold true in ours?
The last paragraph of article 36 has been controversial in some Reformed churches. It reads:
For that reason we condemn the Anabaptists and other rebellious people, and in general all those who reject the authorities and civil officers, subvert justice, introduce a communion of goods, and overturn the decency that God has established among men.
The reason for the controversy is what appears to be a blanket condemnation of Anabaptists. However, the historical context reminds us that what's in view here are the revolutionary Anabaptists. Guy de Brès knew that not all Anabaptists were like the Melchiorites. For our purposes, we can take note that Reformed churches not only distance themselves from revolutionary ideologies (whether from left or right), they condemn them and those who hold them. Revolution isn't the Reformed way.
Eventually the Dutch successfully rose up against the Spanish and achieved their freedom. However, it's important to note that the Dutch Revolt was not a revolution in the conventional sense. It was led by government. There was authority involved – that of the so-called lesser magistrates. That was in keeping with standard Reformed political theory. If tyranny is to be overthrown, then it must be done by lawful government.
The Dutch in the 16th century didn't live in a parliamentary democracy like we do in Canada or Australia. If we believe political change is necessary, there are lawful means available to us to pursue that. When an election is called, we can put in the hard work of trying to persuade family, friends, and neighbours to vote a particular way. We're even free ourselves to put our name on the ballot and try to effect change that way. We still have options apart from the dramatic type of regime change that took place with the Dutch Revolt.
Revolutionary insurrection is not the Reformed way to pursue meaningful political change. It's not Reformed because it's not biblical. No where do we find the Bible encouraging Christians to rise up against their government. Instead, the Holy Spirit teaches us:
Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor. (1 Peter 2:13-17)
If you want a revolution, you're not being biblical and therefore you're not being Reformed.

Langley Cricket Club needs to raise £60,000 for a new extension and revamp.
A sports club has launched an appeal to fund its new clubhouse.
Langley Cricket Club needs to raise up to £60,000 to build the modern extension which it says will help it open up more to the wider community.
It is hoped that building work, which also includes upgrading the clubhouse, a new bar, kitchen, machine store and disabled toilet, could start early next year.
But the club, which is run by volunteers, including Matt Stevens, junior head coach, and Barry Pattison, bar manager, has a turnover of about £10,000 and needs to raise a substantial sum to pay for it.
Among its fundraising ideas is its 'Buy a Brick' scheme where people can donate, with their name put on a plaque on the wall of the extension.
Mr Stevens said :"Our cricket club is volunteer-led, offering sporting and recreational opportunities for everyone. Every pound counts and will go a long way towards our project goal.
"Once complete, we will be able to offer our clubhouse and ground for use to the general community and we've already had interest from several local groups and individuals wanting to use our facilities.
To Buy a Brick make a minimum donation of £5 by searching for 'Langley Cricket Club' at www.gofundme.com . To offer any other help email langleycricketclub@hotmail.com.

For Angela
Nancy Trites Botkin & Daniel Prouty
This short film portrays the experiences of Rhonda Gordon and her daughter, Angela, when a simple bus ride changes their lives in an unforeseeable way. When they are harassed by three boys, Rhonda finds the courage to take a unique and powerful stance against ignorance and prejudice. What ensues is a dramatic story of racism and empowerment.

This was made almost ten years ago and we are still facing the same stereotypical attitudes and acts of racism. We, as Anishnawbek have started to internalize this hatred that has been perpetutated against us since colonialism. There is an increase of suicides and violence in our communiities. Let us strive to take back the ancestral teachings of love and pride; and instill it in our children.
GitcheWaboose, 25 May 2012
This actually hurts to watch , i learned a lot from this , and knowing its my cousin Tina doing this makes me feel Pretty Great
Jimmy, 24 Oct 2011
This is a compelling film and actually hurts to watch. In my view it could/should be mandatory viewing in schools. One would hope that the most callous seeming child would be touched by it and learn from it.....
sweetshirley, 20 Oct 2011
I was 12 years old when this happened, I am 34 now and still remember when my mother and I were sitting at a St James bus stop waiting to catch a 24 Ness. I remember the remarks each one of them said to us, and I remember even though my mom asked them to stop they still continued. I know this film very well! The boys may of not been suspended but they were lucky to spend the day with my mom and Gordon Sinclair, that was their punishment. My mom wanted to teach them a lesson to teach them she is human like every body else. She took them to her work at CBC Information Radio and had a oppurtunity to sit and talk with her and then she took them to the core area to visit a native social services agency. Afterwards they were invited to visit with Gordon Sinclair to open responses he received from the column he wrote about my mom and I. During her visit she may of been trying to teach each one of them a lesson but at the same time she was doing this for me, she was doing it "For Angela"
Angela, 27 Sep 2011
I enjoyed the film. Although some of it was painful to watch, I feel that their approach to punishing/helping the boys was really enlightened and the most effective. People are racist/sexist/discriminative of insecurities, alienation, or a lack of understanding. We come together in peace through understanding.
kertin, 1 Jun 2011
I know this film well! Nothing really happened to that racist kid ... all that happened was that he got called into the principal's office for a little stern talk, that's all. He wasn't suspended from school like he should have been! That's what burned me up the most ... because the idiot kid didn't get suspended!!
NativeFilmFan, 25 May 2011
- I liked this film, cause The mother spoke up too the 1 boy who was making fun of her culture, and for her daughter who cut of her brades cause she didnt want too be indian anymore,
raynebrass, 4 Oct 2010
I enjoyed the film because of the message being sent in this viewers watching this video about some of the people going through the same things Angela and her mother are going through and all the stereotyping and racism in this film and how some people having to deal with the after effect of racism and stereotyping and how they deal with it. The boy Ian harassing Angela and her mother about there skin colour and stereotyping on what he knows about there culture and they are just normal human beings just like him. He might not understand the after effect and how they must feel about what he has said towards them. Why hasn't racism stopped?
EchoKennedy-Gladue, 4 Oct 2010
-Did you enjoy the film? Why or why not? No, because I felt sorry for Angela when the teenage boys were bullying her, and her Mother Rhonda. I didn't like it when she cut her hair off, to not show her identity of what she was; an Indian. (No offense). -Describe a situation that you've seen or experienced that's similar to Angela's? I haven't been in a situation, or seen a situation similar to Angela's, but I have heard people saying racist jokes to each other, and didn't really mean it in a bad or wrong way. - What do you think should happen to Ian? Do you think he understands the results of his actions towards Rhonda and Angela? I think Ian should get suspended for one week, and I don't think he realized how much he offended Rhonda and Angela. -What is one question you have regarding the film or racism? One question I have regarding racism is why did we start up racism in the first place? We are all human beings in this world, no matter what colour of skin we have. Why should we have to put up with racism now? We have already dealt with this in the past. If some people are wondering why I put this on here, it's because I have to do it for my English11A Class. I'm in Grade 11 at Martin Collegiate, if you were wanting to know what school I go to, and what class I'm doing this for.

Sherwood Anderson's first and most autobiographical novel and the only one set in Illinois, Windy McPherson's Son received uniformly high praise from literary critics when it was first published. It tells the story of an Iowa newsboy who fights his way to fortune in Chicago, then questions the meaning of his success. It was republished in 1922 with a different ending, which appears as an appendix in this edition.

So, what should you look for in a set of strings? There's no one answer. To go back to those same analogies: every woodwind player has a preferred strength and shape of reed, and every drummer likes a set of sticks with particular balance and tip shape. It's the same with strings: you've got different gauges and different materials to choose from, and ultimately the right ones for you are a matter of preference.
The horizontal lines represent the frets on the guitar and the vertical lines represent the strings. The numbers listed let you know what fret number it is referring too. If there is an X it means don't play that string and if there is a 0 it means to play that string but do not press down on it anywhere. The black circles show you where to press down.
The intensive A.A. curriculum prepares musicians to perform in any professional situation, along with learning professional development skills such as basic computer use, EPK creation, resume and bio writing, and social media as a tool for business and networking. The Associate of Arts Degree is intended to equip students with the knowledge and training needed to become professional performers in today's music industry.
Left-handed players sometimes choose an opposite-handed (mirror) instrument, although some play in a standard-handed manner, others play a standard-handed guitar reversed, and still others (for example Jimi Hendrix) played a standard-handed guitar strung in reverse. This last configuration differs from a true opposite handed guitar in that the saddle is normally angled in such a way that the bass strings are slightly longer than the treble strings to improve intonation. Reversing the strings, therefore, reverses the relative orientation of the saddle, adversely affecting intonation, although in Hendrix's case, this is believed to have been an important element in his unique sound.
Learning guitar is a lot of fun, and with the right lessons anyone can become a great guitar player. However, to be successful it's important to pick the right learning method and stay focused. We designed our Core Learning System to be a step-by-step system that keeps beginners on-track and having fun. Give it a try today by becoming a Full Access member.
Once you know the basic chords, it might be easier to think of them the way the function inside a key. For example, when in the key of E, the E (I) is called the Tonic. It's what all the other chords want to get to—which is what helps give western music its sense of motion. The A (IV) in the key of E functions as the Subdominant—it's sort of a passive in-between, just as happy to continue forward, as to relax back to the Tonic. The Dominant is just what it sounds like: it leads you where it wants to go. In the key of E, that role is filled by the B (V), and will definitely make your brain want to get back to the Tonic! When you get more familiar with the chords, and want to sketch out a tune, try writing it as I-IV-V (or variations of that) instead of E-A-B. It will make it much easier to transpose when you find out your singer cannot sing in the original key!
Major-chord progressions are constructed in the harmonization of major scales in triads.[21] For example, stacking the C-major scale with thirds creates a chord progression, which is traditionally enumerated with the Roman numerals I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi, viio; its sub-progression C-F-G (I-IV-V) is used in popular music,[22] as already discussed. Further chords are constructed by stacking additional thirds. Stacking the dominant major-triad with a minor third creates the dominant seventh chord, which shall be discussed after minor chords.
I absolutely love my program. Leading edge technology, phenomenal instruction and course delivery. Interactive learning interface is top drawer. Paul Gilbert is an amazing amazing online teacher. I have seen more results with his program versus years of face to face lessons - I never thought this was possible via online means but you utterly pulled it off. I could not be more pleased.
Dots are usually inlaid into the upper edge of the fretboard in the same positions, small enough to be visible only to the player. These usually appear on the odd numbered frets, but also on the 12th fret (the one octave mark) instead of the 11th and 13th frets. Some older or high-end instruments have inlays made of mother of pearl, abalone, ivory, colored wood or other exotic materials and designs. Simpler inlays are often made of plastic or painted. High-end classical guitars seldom have fretboard inlays as a well-trained player is expected to know his or her way around the instrument. In addition to fretboard inlay, the headstock and soundhole surround are also frequently inlaid. The manufacturer's logo or a small design is often inlaid into the headstock. Rosette designs vary from simple concentric circles to delicate fretwork mimicking the historic rosette of lutes. Bindings that edge the finger and sound boards are sometimes inlaid. Some instruments have a filler strip running down the length and behind the neck, used for strength or to fill the cavity through which the truss rod was installed in the neck.
Conventionally, guitarists double notes in a chord to increase its volume, an important technique for players without amplification; doubling notes and changing the order of notes also changes the timbre of chords. It can make a possible a "chord" which is composed of the all same note on different strings. Many chords can be played with the same notes in more than one place on the fretboard.
Learning to play guitar is loads of fun, though playing chords may seem a little intimidating at first. Fear not, it is not much different than playing single notes: you're just playing them all at once! This article will walk you through the process of working out the fingering, and show you how to play some common chords. Pull out your axe, and rock on!
Minor chords arise as the tonic notes of minor keys that share the same key signature with major keys. From the major key's I-ii-iii-IV-V-vi-viio progression, the "secondary" (minor) triads ii-iii-vi appear in the relative minor key's corresponding chord progression as i-iv-v (or i-iv-V or i-iv-V7): For example, from C's vi-ii-iii progression Am-Dm-Em, the chord Em is often played as E or E7 in a minor chord progression.[24] Among basic chords, the minor chords (D,E,A) are the tonic chords of the relative minors of the three major-keys (F,G,C):
Only two or three frets are needed for the guitar chords—major, minor, and dominant sevenths—which are emphasized in introductions to guitar-playing and to the fundamentals of music.[87][88] Each major and minor chord can be played on exactly two successive frets on exactly three successive strings, and therefore each needs only two fingers. Other chords—seconds, fourths, sevenths, and ninths—are played on only three successive frets.[89]
A chord is inverted when the bass note is not the root note. Chord inversion is especially simple in M3 tuning. Chords are inverted simply by raising one or two notes by three strings; each raised note is played with the same finger as the original note. Inverted major and minor chords can be played on two frets in M3 tuning.[56][74] In standard tuning, the shape of inversions depends on the involvement of the irregular major-third, and can involve four frets.[75]
This month, HBO released a new documentary about Kurt Cobain's life called Montage of Heck. Unlike past documentaries on the legendary guitarist and singer, this one highlights his humanity and shares perhaps the most intimate look at his life that his fans have ever had.  Director Brett Morgan worked with Cobain's family, including his daughter Frances Bean Cobain, who provided home movies, photographs, and journals. At times funny and at other times deeply sad, Montage of Heck manages to gi … Read More
A guitar strap is a strip of material with an attachment mechanism on each end, made to hold a guitar via the shoulders at an adjustable length. Guitars have varying accommodations for attaching a strap. The most common are strap buttons, also called strap pins, which are flanged steel posts anchored to the guitar with screws. Two strap buttons come pre-attached to virtually all electric guitars, and many steel-string acoustic guitars. Strap buttons are sometimes replaced with "strap locks", which connect the guitar to the strap more securely.
The history of stringed instruments dates back thousands of years, while the modern guitar can be traced back to the oud and the lute of the 8th and 9th centuries. Today's guitars come in countless variations and at JustStrings.com, we have a dazzling variety of guitar strings and other types of strings for many different instruments. Advanced technology combined with traditional craftsmanship produces some of the finest strings that boast long-lasting durability and exceptional tonal quality. Whether you're looking for rugged, great-sounding electric guitar strings to take on tour with you, or the perfect set of strings for your lap steel, we're bound to have exactly what you need. We take great pride in bringing you the best quality strings from the world's leading innovators. Our acoustic guitar strings, from manufacturers like Ernie Ball, GHS, Thomastik-Infeld and Fender, are available in many varieties, from silver-plated copper flat wound to 80/20 bronze round-wound. You'll find plain uncoated strings and coated strings that improve longevity. Classical guitar strings, traditionally made from gut, are now strung with nylon or advanced synthetic materials for better performance. Electric guitar strings are available in nickel-plated steel, pure nickel or stainless steel. We also have strings for resophonic guitars (also known as Dobros), Steinberger guitars and pedal steel guitars. Browse our bass guitar strings, and find 7-string, 8-string or 12-string guitar strings. We also carry banjo strings, harp strings, and strings for octave, tenor, baritone and Renaissance guitars. We are the leading source of premium strings for nearly every type of instrument.
Renaissance and Baroque guitars are the ancestors of the modern classical and flamenco guitar. They are substantially smaller, more delicate in construction, and generate less volume. The strings are paired in courses as in a modern 12-string guitar, but they only have four or five courses of strings rather than six single strings normally used now. They were more often used as rhythm instruments in ensembles than as solo instruments, and can often be seen in that role in early music performances. (Gaspar Sanz's Instrucción de Música sobre la Guitarra Española of 1674 contains his whole output for the solo guitar.)[10] Renaissance and Baroque guitars are easily distinguished, because the Renaissance guitar is very plain and the Baroque guitar is very ornate, with ivory or wood inlays all over the neck and body, and a paper-cutout inverted "wedding cake" inside the hole.
Only two or three frets are needed for the guitar chords—major, minor, and dominant sevenths—which are emphasized in introductions to guitar-playing and to the fundamentals of music.[87][88] Each major and minor chord can be played on exactly two successive frets on exactly three successive strings, and therefore each needs only two fingers. Other chords—seconds, fourths, sevenths, and ninths—are played on only three successive frets.[89]
Almost all guitars have frets, which are metal strips (usually nickel alloy or stainless steel) embedded along the fretboard and located at exact points that divide the scale length in accordance with a specific mathematical formula. The exceptions include fretless bass guitars and very rare fretless guitars. Pressing a string against a fret determines the strings' vibrating length and therefore its resultant pitch. The pitch of each consecutive fret is defined at a half-step interval on the chromatic scale. Standard classical guitars have 19 frets and electric guitars between 21 and 24 frets, although guitars have been made with as many as 27 frets. Frets are laid out to accomplish an equal tempered division of the octave. Each set of twelve frets represents an octave. The twelfth fret divides the scale length exactly into two halves, and the 24th fret position divides one of those halves in half again.
Our philosophy is simple. We make learning music fun, and are committed to the integrity of a quality music education. In addition to a foundational education, students are given ample opportunity to make music with others. The confidence gained by learning music parlays with other areas, giving students the self-assurance to take on new challenges.

Whats the craic'?
"Here to enjoy the fishing, some Irish craic' and pick up a few tips along the way" Tengku Izzudin
Read how the first ever Asian angler all the way from Kuala Lumpur fished his way through the Lakelands and the World Pairs.
How did I do?
I don't think I did too bad for my first introduction to Ireland! Fair play to Kevin for being my partner as he could be a serious contender although as Kevin is also the match director we were unable to fish for any of the massive €15,000 sponsorship which amounts to the 1st and 2nd prizes in the Pairs.
For those not chasing the prestigious Pairs title now sought after worldwide the DAIWA Cup is great. The individual match runs inside the Pairs and allows the regular match angler to compete for cash prizes and the top ten get big vouchers to spend on tackle & accessories too. With section payouts every five pegs or so and a best by county section each day it means hundreds of envelopes full of cash are distributed. Even I nearly made it with a second in section to Francis McGoldrick at Kiltybarden!
As for my two modest goals; I didn't finish last and I didn't blank either so it was a success and I shall come back next time and do better having got lots of tips from some of the best match anglers in the world!
Thank you to Bait-Tech who sponsored me with my Ground Bait and other goodies all week - it certainly helped and I have managed to get some back home too.
Pro-Natural!
Tengku Izzudin bin Tengku
Better known as 'Guv' for short, lives and works in sunny Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with his lovely missus and 3 young boys (who are not unlike leather carps; smooth skinned, good fighters and ferocious eaters!). When he's not too busy working on underground power cable systems, he's seen pole fishing at his favourite fishery or chucking a lure for snakeheads in a remote location somewhere where his bosses can't get hold of him.
At the time of the World Pairs, he is 28 years and err..126 months old. Been fishing since childhood days, he had a brief affair with fly fishing and beach casting while studying in Caterham before fully converting to the joys of coarse fishing after moving to Nottingham in the mid 90s. It was in Nottingham that he discovered his passion (and obsession) for match fishing with the Keyworth & District Angling Club and Nottingham Anglers Association.
He has a regular column in a few local Malaysian angling mags called ' A Cup Of Tea With The Guv'nor' where he's been writing on and promoting coarse & match fishing since 2001. From his tireless efforts the number of Malaysia's pole anglers has surged by 300% and now they boast 4 pole anglers throughout the country.
Apart from coaching some new and budding local coarse anglers, Guv works towards so that coarse fishing will be more accepted among Malaysian anglers and is helping to set up a Malaysian Feeder Fishing Team to compete in the World Championships.
The Guv'nor is also active in river conservation and safeguarding Malaysia's native fish species and hopes that Crystal Palace FC will fare better in the Premiership this season.


Lund University and the subjects of Chinese and Linguistics have received a major donation from Birgit Rausing. The Birgit Rausing Language Programme will award SEK 15 million over at least ten years. From an organisational point of view, the programme is linked to the Centre for Languages and Literature.

The scholarships in Chinese are destined for stays in Chinese-speaking research environments. The scholarships in Linguistics are destined for stays abroad, for field research or research in a laboratory environment in another country.
The management group for the Birgit Rausing Language Programme appoints the scholarship recipients. The management group consists of two representatives of the subjects of Chinese and Linguistics respectively and professor Lynn Åkesson is the chair.
The Birgit Rausing Language Programme will also organise annual symposia to be held at the Centre for Languages and Literature or at the Centre for East and Southeast Asian Studies. Every year, funds are also destined for an exchange researcher in Chinese and a Chinese language teacher.
Information on scholarships and grants for spring 2019 is now available via the links on the right. Please note that not all categories will be included this time.


Unless our body is prepared for the movements of the golf swing, it will be put under a lot of strain — or at least be limited on how well it can move through different ranges of motion. This is why preparing the body for golf is so important. Almost all golfers will benefit immensely from a program that trains the sufficient flexibility and strength to support a good, healthy movement. Preparing the body for golf is about having the ability to engage the right muscles and train the nervous system to fire those muscles in a specific pecking order to improve quality of movement. Exercises that challenge your body to work as a unit (where you are engaging the ground and firing your nervous system to maintain balance) are going to be a huge component when training your body for golf.
While making the golf swing, weight is not evenly dispersed on both legs. Our body works in all three planes of motion in the golf swing: saggittal (back and forth), frontal (side to side) and transverse (rotational). The pressure of our feet on the ground will move dynamically from one foot to the other, but also forward and back while we swing. It is for this reason that single-leg exercises are an incredibly important tool to train your body for golf. Single-leg exercises will both challenge golfers to coordinate their balance, and in doing so golfers will improve their ability to fire those muscles that need to engage to help move the body more efficiently during the swing.
The exercise I have chosen to share in this video below is one of my favorites because it is a combination drill that challenges the body to move in all ranges of movement. It will also challenge balance and coordination, helping golfers get their nervous system firing to engage those ever so crucial muscles they will need to fire to support golf swing.
Though like anything in life, consistency is the key to improvement. Keep up the hard work.
This helped me a great deal. Worked on it this weekend, playing with distance from the ball and figured out what works for me. Cool article!
i like gold, i play it every week.
Exercise???!!!!!! No way hosay…. all I want is a Golf Tip …!!!!!

Congress passed the Water Resources Development Act on Wednesday -- and that could be a dual victory for South Florida. The act authorizes the Central Everglades Planning Project, which is slated to provide about $2 billion dollars for various ecosystem restoration efforts. And, it supports a $320 million dollar Port Everglades expansion that's intended to help larger, heavier ships navigate the area.

Fears of irreparable harm to coral reefs prompted a lawsuit Wednesday against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Four groups are asking the Corps to re-evaluate the Port Everglades dredging project in Broward County. They say the Corps has failed to consider the disastrous effects of a similar dredging project on coral reefs at PortMiami. In that project, large amounts of coral were damaged or killed by sediment.

Florida East Coast Railway unveiled its new assembly-line facility for making trains at Port Everglades on Monday.
The site will also serve as as a port for housing those trains.
The Intermodal Container Transfer Facility, or ICTF, is a public-private venture among Florida East Coast Railway, Broward County and the state of Florida.
The partners say it should be a more efficient train-assembly plant and operations at the train yard will start on Wednesday.
The ICTF took 18 months to complete the project which is expected to provide over 200,000 jobs.

Art Therapy Case Studyadmin2018-08-31T14:26:51+01:00
Client confidentiality means that we rarely produce case studies from our formal therapy services. When we do it is with the written permission of the client. Names and other identifying details are changed.
D was referred to us by a specialist alcohol nurse we had contacted through outreach work. I have been seeing him for one-to-one art therapy for 4 months.
D is in his late 60s. He is lonely and isolated. Everyone he knew has died. He is completely alone and it is not rare that I am the only person he talks to in the week. D has cancer and his health is deteriorating.
After his best (and last remaining) friend died 4 years ago, D was extremely low and felt suicidal. He started drinking excessively and was admitted to hospital for 6 months during this period. He has been in and out of hospital periodically since. When he was referred to us, he had just been in hospital for 'severe depression'. On discharge, the hospital wanted him to join Alcoholics Anonymous. D didn't want to, and explained that he drinks because he is depressed and lonely and that if these issues were addressed, then his drinking would cease to be a problem.
When he first came to us he was extremely anxious. He wrung his trembling hands constantly and his legs shook and jerked. He stammered and found it very difficult to make eye contact or to complete sentences. He was drinking heavily and couldn't sleep. He found it difficult to come in at all and needed sensitive and sustained reassurance and encouragement.
Over a month after we'd first made contact with D, he felt able to attend his first art therapy session. (D had never used art materials as an adult.) These are examples of early sessions with D.
In the one above he comments that he feels like a barren tree on an island, far away from anyone else. In some work, there is only the faintest of lines drawn (and drawn with a very trembling hand).
In the two images below, D and I collaborated. I drew some lines and D echoed me, gradually becoming more confident, both in art making and in discussion.
Four months later, D is transformed, working on his own with a wide range of materials and colours (see below). He is confident and engaged; he feels that his life has meaning. And, although every day is a struggle, he hasn't had a drink for 3 months.
D's transformation, his new self-confidence, engagement with life and discovery of personal strengths and creativity (indeed, his flowering as an individual) is strikingly illustrated in his art work made in art therapy. I believe that the experience of being witnessed is the key to D's transformation.
D has moved from one-to-one work, to working within one of the art therapy groups. He has also started to attend another, non-therapy group, and to make friends to other Claremont members.
D has agreed for us to show his art work. The work made in art therapy is confidential and not made for display. I am sure you'll respect the privilege of viewing his work, as I respect the privilege and responsibility of working closely with individuals in therapy. This material may not be published further.
"I'd do this any day rather than drink. You see, I just need someone to do things with."
(A's remark after our first art therapy session.)
