Video Game Review – Star Wars Battlefront II
by Shaun Munro
Shaun Munro reviews Star Wars Battlefront II…
Though it was easy to be optimistic about EA and Dice's follow-up to 2015's enjoyable-yet-malnourished Star Wars Battlefront reboot, the end result is one of the most depressingly, dispiritingly botched sequels to a hit Aaa game this generation. From its infuriating, predatory progression system to a campaign that fails to live up to EA's chest-thumping hype, Battlefront II is a stylishly efficient shooter with remarkably little behind its slick visage.
The previous game was lauded for its stringent adherence to the tone and aesthetic of Star Wars while heavily criticised for its piecemeal suite of content, and EA's marketing push ahead of this sequel's release was incredibly effective in arguing that the follow-up was going to be a content-rich apology for its predecessor's foibles.
Sadly, that's not really the case at all, and EA's decision not

Strike Vector Ex Review: True Aerial Superiority
TheHDRoom
Strike Vector Ex scratches a particular itch that I've had for almost a year. After last fall's Star Wars Battlefront, I became incredibly addicted to the Fighter Squadron game mode. Something about flying combat sorties in zero-g, turning on a dime, and blasting enemies out of the sky like they were helpless flies really ignited something in me. And then I moved on, yet still I yearned for that kind of aerial combat. There was a void in my life. And thanks to developer Ragequit, that void has been filled. They came through with a solid flight-shooter that has satisfied my craving and given me more things to shoot out of the sky.
Strike Vector Ex is a hybrid of sorts. Players take command of a ship, called a Vector, that can also serve as a hovering -- and lumbering -- mech of sorts. With the tap of the L

Star Wars: EA Dice on Battlefront Dlc and Battlefront 2
Matthew Byrd Jul 21, 2016
Does the future of Battlefront include an expanded single-player offline mode?
Considering it wasn't that long ago that Star Wars fans assumed we wouldn't be getting any more Battlefront games at all, it's certainly heartwarming to hear that developer EA Dice is already looking forward to a bright tomorrow for the acclaimed multiplayer shooter franchise.
In an interview with PC Gamer, Star Wars Battlefront director Niklas Fegraeus opened up about the future of 2015's Star Wars Battlefront and the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront 2. As we had previously reported, that future will include the upcoming edition of a skirmish mode that will finally allow Battlefront fans to play the game offline against bots across various difficulty modes.
According to Fegraeus, EA Dice is well aware of the demand surrounding such a mode.
"It's something the fans have been talking about for a very long time," said Fegraeus. "It's been on the forums,

We've got a bit of Exclusive news in the latest edition of The Week in Star Wars, and some updates on the casting for Young Han Solo, Rey's parents and more…
We'll kick things off this week by talking about Darth Vader in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It was reported last year that The Sith Lord would feature in the movie and then there were some reports that said Hayden Christensen – who played Anakin Skywalker in the Prequel Trilogy – would be reprising his role. We can now confirm this is not the case, and Vader will in fact be played by Spencer Wilding, a British stunt actor who has worked on Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Who and Batman Begins.

Star Wars Battlefront's February Update Has Gone Live
by Joe Pring
Star Wars Battlefront developer Dice has been making some rather substantial and extensive changes under the game's hood for its February update and frankly, we're not sure where to start – the list is freaking massive.
Before we start dissecting all of the little, large and much-needed changes though, you're probably more interested in the new content that's been added with the patch.
First up is the new Twilight on Hoth map that's been added to several modes, including Walker Assault, Drop Zone and Heroes vs. Villains. Judging by the map name, expect to be battling it out as the Rebels or Empire in the freezing midnight blizzard that sweeps through the snow-covered planet when the sun (or is it suns?) sets.

Continuing the chilly theme, Survival in the Ice Caves is a new map added to Survival Missions, and the

Your weekend edition of The Week in Star Wars has a look at the costumes for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Harrison Ford presenting Star Wars Land, more movies after Episode IX and writer-director Kevin Smith's role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens is finally revealed…
We're kicking things off this week by looking – get this – past Star Wars: Episode IX. When Disney first announced they'd purchased the rights to make more Star Wars movies, they initially announced a new trilogy to take us up to 2019, which was then followed up announcements for spin-off (or Anthology) movies in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Han Solo: A Star Wars Story (with rumours of a Boba Fett one in there too). It was assumed by the fanbase that this new trilogy would then mark the end of Star Wars. No so, says Disney's Bob Iger.

Star Wars Battlefront: 9 Tips To Win On Every Mode
by Michael Potts
Obsessed with Film
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is still annihilating the box office, we unwrapped Star Wars: Everything for Christmas (seriously, if you need several hundred Kylo Ren mugs my house is basically a retailer), and Star Wars: Battlefront is still looking like a fine addition to the game library, with its multiplayer system proving to be exceedingly fun.
The game was released to huge fanfare after months of drooling over a set of immense trailers and teasers. The first impressions were that the gameplay was tremendous, the graphics spectacular, and the Star Wars factor was astounding. In 2016, I still think that's all true. An influx of Christmas gamers means that not only do we have more friends to conquer the galaxy alongside, but there are thousands more metaphorical womp rats to bullseye.
Rounding up a handful of friends is the best way to play Battlefront, but there

Video Game Review – Star Wars Battlefront
by Tom Powter
Tom Powter reviews Star Wars Battlefront…
Star Wars Battlefront is both parts a stunning recreation of the much-loved original trilogy of films, and a disappointingly barebones first-person shooter. It's interesting to see just how true to the films developer EA Dice's vision for the game was – the world they have created is perhaps the most convincingly Star Wars has ever been brought to life in a video game before. On the larger maps, full-scale war unfolds, with Tie fighters screaming overhead amidst a flurry of red and green laser fire. The familiar hum of a lightsaber signals death for all those in the vicinity, and the game world encompasses everything that fans adore about the franchise. The game's fundamentals betray it however, and beneath the glossy sheen, there's a very limited experience to be had.
Let's start with the good, and there definitely is plenty to commend here.
Star Wars Battlefront Review
by Shaan Joshi
Booting up Star Wars Battlefront for the first time was a truly special moment. Familiar logos adorn the screen, while John Williams' timeless music begins to play, and it finally dawned on me that the day has come. It's been a long wait to see the Star Wars franchise return to full form, and while the upcoming The Force Awakens is a few months out, Battlefront serves as an excellent distraction until the big day arrives. Granted, I'd be doing a disservice to Battlefront and developer Dice by dismissing their newest title as another cog in the giant marketing machine that is the Star Wars franchise. In fact, Star Wars Battlefront is one of the most thrilling shooters I've played in recent memory.
Without a doubt, Star Wars Battlefront is the most polished game that Dice has put out. Menus are cleanly laid out, there's minimal loading times and hitches,
Dice Details How To Control Millennium Falcon, Slave I In Star Wars Battlefront
After much deliberation and speculation regarding their inclusion, Dice finally made it official late last week that, yes, Star Wars Battlefront would include a roster of Hero characters beyond simply the father-son duo of Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. Specifically, the studio has rendered the likes of Han Solo, Leio Organa and the malevolent Emperor Palpatine, with players getting the chance to control either hero or villain throughout the course of an in-game skirmish.
But what of the star vehicles? Since the first gameplay clip for the Fighter Squadron mode debuted online, budding fans have wondered whether the Millennium Falcon and Boba Fett's Slave I ship will feature in Battlefront. We're pleased to report that both will be included in this specific, airborne game mode, and today's Dice blog delved into the finer details about unlocking both of the fan-favorite ships.

We're already preparing our best gravelly "Fully operational battle station" Emperor Palpatine impression, as EA reveals details of three additional characters in Star Wars: Battlefront. As you've probably gathered, they're household names from the Star Wars-verse: on the side of all that's good in the galaxy, there's Leia Organa and Han Solo. On the side of evil, the cackling, scheming Emperor Palpatine in his fright make-up.
They join the characters already announced - Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, Darth Vader - as the six heroes and villains we'll be able to briefly control at certain moments in the game. Each will have their own unique ability; Luke with his Force Pushes, Sabre Rushes and Smouldering Sulk ability (we may have made the last one up), Vader with

BC Colleges Applauds the Federal & Provincial Government for the Knowledge Infrastructure Program.
November 8, 2011, Victoria, BC | BC Colleges wishes to thank the federal and provincial governments for their support of the Knowledge Infrastructure Program, a two-year $2-billion measure launched in March 2009 to support infrastructure enhancement at post-secondary institutions, including universities and community colleges, across Canada.
In British Columbia, the Knowledge Infrastructure Program funded 42 projects with $237,411,500 coming from federal sources and another $296,502,769 coming from provincial and other funding sources. Of these 42 projects, 17 were at BC's 11 public colleges.
Northern Lights College where the Prime Minister was recently on hand to open the new Centre of Excellence for Clean Energy Technology funded through the Knowledge Infrastructure Program. The new Centre will enable the college to train additional students in the fields of health care and clean energy. This will help to address the growing national demand for nurses and provide trained professionals to help drive Canada's burgeoning clean energy industry.
At Okanagan College's Penticton campus, a new Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Building Technologies and Renewable Energy Conservation has been opened thanks to the Knowledge Infrastructure Program and is known as one of the world's greenest buildings. The innovative features of the building itself will be used as a teaching tool to help train the next generation of tradespeople in green construction practices, with the goal to nurture a growing high-tech, green focused industry for the South Okanagan-Similkameen region.
The Smithers campus of Northwest Community College received over $8 million in funding from the Knowledge Infrastructure Program plus an additional $8 million from the provincial government for campus renewal and expansion. This investment will allow the college to address trades shortages in the region by providing more efficient and functional facilities, reducing greenhouse gas emissions via its LEED Platinum certification and enhancing the overall learning environment for all students.
At North Island College a new Skills Development and Trades Training Facility was built with support from the Knowledge Infrastructure Program. As the first LEED certified building in the region, the new Trades Training Centre will provide training and retraining for displaced resource industry workers in the mid-island.
The newly opened John A. Brink Trades & Technology Centre at the College of New Caledonia in Quesnel brings much needed capacity for trades education to the interior of the province thanks in part to the Knowledge Infrastructure Program. The new centre increases training in a variety of trades and technical education programs, including Welding, Carpentry, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanics, Power Engineering, Agro-forestry, Horticulture and Animal Science, all key areas in the Premier's recently announced Jobs Plan.
The Knowledge Infrastructure Program, while providing significant short-term economic stimulus to communities across the country, has allowed BC's colleges to make much needed capital improvements and in some cases significant capital investments in new or improved training facilities. These investments are critical for BC's colleges to ensure future labour market demands are met. With investment from both the federal and provincial governments, BC's colleges can continue to provide students with the advanced skills and education that employers and the labour market demand both now and in the future. This investment pays dividends for communities across our province and the rest of Canada.
BC Colleges is a consortium representing the Province's 11 public colleges, serving almost 200,000 students annually with campuses in close to 70 communities throughout British Columbia. Our colleges offer a comprehensive range of programs from university studies and baccalaureate degrees to career, technical and trades education. All programs are designed to be accessible, affordable and responsive to the evolving needs of BC communities and industry.
Over 90% of BC college students graduate and transition into the workforce within six months.

He has. Mueller has 45 tackles and 15 tackles for loss, which ranks second in the country. He is tied with Louisville's Marcus Smith for the sack lead, topping three players with 10, including Missouri's Michael Sam. Also, Mueller ranks 14th in forced fumbles with three.

Castelul Kalmar este unul dintre cele mai bine conservate și cunoscute castele din Suedia. O lungă perioadă de timp, până în 1658, castelul a funcționat ca un puternic ansamblu de apărare, în principal datorită poziției sale strategice la Marea Baltică, la granița cu Danemarca. În acele vremuri provinciile de sud ale Suediei de astăzi, Blekinge, Skåne și Halland, aparțineau Danemarcei. Castelul este un simbol pentru orașul Kalmar și unul dintre cele mai importante monumente de arhitectură și artă renascentistă din Suedia. Castelul are o istorie încărcată de politică la nivel înalt, intrigi de curte și conflicte armate sângeroase. Astăzi castelul este un loc foarte popular și un semnificativ obiectiv turistic.

Istoric
În jurul anului 1180 a fost ridicat un turn de apărare pe locul în care se află astăzi Castelul Kalmar. Turnul a fost construit împotriva piraților și a altor agresori ce navigau de-alungul țărmurilor Mării Baltice. La începutul secolului 13, în imediata vecinătate a castelului, s-a dezvoltat orașul Kalmar. Spre sfârșitul secolului 13, regele Magnus Ladulås a permis ridicarea unor fortificații în jurul turnului de apărare.

Sub regii dinastiei Vasa, Gustav I, Erik XIV și Johan III, castelul a primit forma și amploarea de astăzi. În secolul 16 a fost transformată vechea fortificație medievală într-un castel-palat renascentist după model continental.

In the past two presidential-primary seasons, candidates crisscrossing Iowa before the caucuses would pay obeisance to corn ethanol and its compulsory use in gasoline.
Yet in the current campaign, Sen. Ted Cruz reliably sits atop the Iowa polls even though he scoffs at the Renewable Fuel Standard passed by Congress in 2005 and expanded in 2007.
The RFS requires gasoline to contain a specified level of ethanol—renewable biofuels mostly from corn, but increasingly from other plant and animal substances. The law also requires the Environmental Protection Agency to periodically increase the amount of ethanol that must be used. But raising the amount of ethanol in gasoline past 10% could harm millions of car engines.
Second, ethanol adds more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere than it eliminates by replacing fossil fuels. The Environmental Working Group says that "corn ethanol is an environmental disaster." The group explains: "The mandate to blend ethanol into gasoline has driven farmers to plow up land to plant corn—40 percent of the corn now grown in the U.S. is used to make ethanol. When farmers plow up grasslands and wetlands to grow corn, they release the carbon stored in the soil, contributing to climate-warming carbon emissions." And then there is the carbon emitted in harvesting, transporting and processing the corn into ethanol.
Finally, the U.S. no longer needs renewable fuels to reduce its dependence on energy from foreign sources. Thanks to expansion in the oil and gas industry, the U.S. has outdistanced Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world's top oil and natural-gas producer. The U.S. could become energy independent in five years, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, but only if crude oil prices are high enough to keep American producers operating.
Replacing the 18 billion gallons of ethanol under the EPA's 2016 RFS with roughly 18 billion gallons of gasoline would reduce the oil glut and improve the nation's carbon footprint. Sounds like a candidate for bipartisan agreement.

When was the last time seed was selected based on how corn tastes? Never: Corn seed is selected according to its resistance to poison (Roundup), and yield per acre.
Corn eaten by humans is an afterthought: Most corn is converted to fuel and burned, or fed to animals.
Our industrial food production system produces mediocre food, at an economic loss, while destroying the environment.


It's fall in the northern hemisphere, and here in the United States it's all about "pumpkin". It's funny how different cultures view this wonderful (in my opinion) vegetable. Growing up in New Zealand, pumpkin was a regular feature in the "Sunday roast of lamb". Now when I was growing up it was still the steam age in the mind of many of the younger generation, and the traditional family roast of lamb can in no way, shape, or form can any longer be considered "traditional". An interesting cultural difference was that British immigrants back then turned their noses up at pumpkin because where they came from it was considered nothing more than cow fodder. Interesting, eh! No doubt that attitude has changed now too.
Pumpkin doesn't seem to get much airing here in the U.S. until the fall and Halloween come around. Then it's BIG! Jack-o-Lantern carving parties, pumpkin flavored coffee beverages at Starbucks, and of course, pumpkin pie at the Halloween dinner table.
But how about some vegan pumpkin pie ice cream? On the blog roll that you'll find at the bottom of the page, I noticed just such a recipe today from blogger Isa Chandra at Post Punk Kitchen. She gives such a wonderfully in-depth explanation of why she uses each ingredient in her recipe with the ultimate aim of coming up with vegan ice cream that has the mouth-feel of the original without all the cruelty and risks to health. There's oil in there, something that I typically avoid in my cooking except for the most sparing amounts when absolutely needed, but ice cream is meant to be a little naughty, isn't it? Consider it a treat worthy of the Thanksgiving dinner table. The recipe sounds absolutely yummy, and I'm going to make it for sure.
Here's Isa's ingredient list so you know what you need to have.
Keep an eye out for more recipes from Isa and the other bloggers in my blog roll that you'll find below every post on my blog. Also great health advice from the best in the whole-food plant-based kingdom of good health through self-responsibility.


If a family member, spouse or partner has complained about your snoring, you may be suffering from obstructive sleep apnea without knowing it.
Obstructive sleep apnea, which causes your airway to collapse or become blocked during sleep, results in short pauses in your breathing pattern or shallow breathing. If left untreated, it can result in inadequate sleep and daytime drowsiness. Generally your doctor can't diagnose the condition during an office visit.
Our sleep lab system consists of a single nasal cannula attached to a small sensor that you wear on your forehead for two nights of recording. After your second night, simply return the system to our office where we will download it to be reviewed by a physician certified in sleep disorders medicine.
Your sleep study report is usually reported to the physician's office within three working days and the results may be used to set up a CPAP system for initial use, or for adjustments to continuing CPAP therapy.
Our sleep studies cost 66% less than lab-based examinations, and in-home sleep studies are covered by most major insurance companies.
If you'd like to learn more about our in-home sleep studies, please call us at 541-472-5154.

USCIS Will Only Consider CW-1 Petitions Approved and with Starting Validity on or after June 18, 2020, when Applying the Temporary Departure Requirement
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is clarifying its Aug. 25, 2020, policy on implementing the requirement that workers leave the United States for at least 30 days after two renewals of their CNMI-Only Transitional Worker (CW-1) visa classification.
Effective immediately, the only CW-1 petitions we will classify as consecutive petitions for purposes of the temporary departure requirement are approved CW-1 petitions that have a starting validity date on or after June 18, 2020. Any extension of CW-1 status granted on or after June 18, 2020, will be considered a consecutive petition if the extension has a starting validity date on or after that date (and not backdated before that date).
For example, if we approved a petition on July 1, 2020, but the petition was backdated to grant status from Oct. 1, 2019, we would consider that petition approved as of the earlier validity date of Oct. 1, 2019. Therefore, this petition would not apply toward the temporary departure requirement.
Please see the USCIS Policy Update on CW-1 Departure Requirement page on our website for more information.

This is a story about Fig Newtons (the cookie). And my husband. And a delicious fig cake created by Ashley at Cookie Monster Cooking.
When I read Ashley's recipe, I immediately thought of my husband. He has always loved Fig Newtons, or so I thought. I printed the recipe and gathered the ingredients.
That night, I was excited to tell my husband about the cake bars I was going to make for him. However, he didn't respond with enthusiasm as anticipated. It turns out, he does love figs, but no so much the "newtons". The cookies aren't crunchy. He likes crunchy. All these years he has been eating Fig Newtons for the fig filling and putting up with the soft cookie.
Eventually, I made the cake anyway, but not for my husband. The fig filling is amazing. I decided that I had to create something crunchy using the fig jam, something my husband would love and also something that could be care package material.
This Fig Jam Biscotti is the result. Biscotti are the ultimate care package cookies because of their sturdiness and their wonderfully long shelf life. Most biscotti stay fresh for weeks. The Fig Jam biscotti start out crunchy (not hard) and get softer over the weeks. After 4 weeks, mine were more like a soft cookie but still very good.
TO MAKE FILLING: Into a medium sauce pan, add figs, apple juice, and 2 tablespoons sugar.
Cook over medium heat until figs are soft and the liquid is syrupy (about 15 minutes), stirring occasionally.
Pour the figs and syrup into the bowl of a food processor (or blender), add lemon juice, and pulse until jam-like. Set aside.
TO MAKE DOUGH: In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter, 2/3 cup sugar, salt, vanilla extract and baking powder until smooth.
TO MAKE BISCOTTI: Pour fig jam onto dough in mixer bowl. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, very gently fold the jam into the dough. Don't mix the jam into the dough. It should remain in stripes or layers.
Divide the dough in half. Scoop onto the baking sheet and shape into 2 logs about 9" x 2" . (The dough is sticky. Wetting your hands as you shape the logs makes it much easier.) After logs are formed, smooth the tops with a slightly wet spatula.
Cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. (If biscotti crumble while cutting wait until the dough cools a little longer.) Slice the logs into ½" – ¾" slices.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until deep golden. These biscotti soften over time and have a softer bite than traditional hard biscotti. Don't under cook or they won't be crunchy at all.
Bundle 2 or 3 biscotti together in plastic wrap. Place bundles in an airtight container or zip lock bag.
Thanks, Liz! This filling is really good. I call it jam but it's thicker and less watery than jar jam from the store. Try it. You will be tempted to eat the filling by the spoonful, but save some for the biscotti. They are worth it.
These would be fantastic with my afternoon tea! SO yummy!
Very yummy sounding and they're so pretty too!
Thank you, Chris! The fruit "jam" makes them unusual and really delicious. I hope you will try them.
Smile. I love hearing the creative progression of recipes, and these look so very good! Thank you for sharing. A lovely post to go along with my latte and cinnamon raisin bread. I hope you have a beautiful week!
Thank you, Monet! The sharing and inspiring is one of the best parts of blogging, I think. 🙂 You have a beautiful week as well!
This is so neat! I love biscotti and I never thought to use fig (or any type of jam) in them! Will have to try this soon 😀 yum.
Jess, this filling is a very thick jam-like fig paste .realling. It is not liquidy like jam from a jar. If you try this with another jam make sure it is thick or I don't think your biscotti will crisp.
I love fig newtons and biscotti, so your idea to combine the two is terrific! I love crispy cookies as well, so this will be a treat!
Marcie, the filling is so much like a fig newton. It surprised me how much I liked it. I hope you will give these a try and let me know what you think!
This sounds amazing, I am in love with all biscotti, would have never thought to add fig!
Thanks Shannon. I was concerned about the zero expiration date on a biscotti with fruit in it but my trial batch was still rather delicious after 4 weeks, no longer crisp, but delicious.
I am a fig newton lover! And a soft biscotti lover too! Crazy but true I don't like them hard and crunchy. These are the best of both worlds!
Reeni, I think these are perfect for you. Give them a try. I think you'll love them.
I totally want to dip one of these in my coffee right now!
That is an excellent idea, Ashley! Why don't you bake some and give it a try? Thanks for coming by!
That is hilarious about your hubby! I love fig anything! I am pinning these also!
Thanks, Chandra! If you like fig anything, you will LOVE these (and Ashley's cake). The fig filling is amazing.
I am in loooove with figs and biscotti. This is absolutely amazing! I love this combo!
I'm from the south where we make 'fig preserves' every summer from our fig trees. This looks like the perfect thing! Was looking for something that doesn't require too much sugar, as they are sweetened for canning. I have some that are on the thick side. Can't wait to try it!
Hi, Virginia! Fresh fig preserves sounds wonderful! Please let me know how your preserves work for the biscotti. I am guessing they will be delicious!!

Grammys 2016 Liveblog: Winners, Performances and Highlights
By Liz Rowley
The 58th Grammy Awards show unfurled Monday night and the evening boasted no shortage of performances from big-time performers in between the accolades bestowed on musicians. After a dazzling red carpet show, heavyweight pop artist Taylor Swift helped kickoff the night with a live rendition of "Out Of The Woods." Clad in a glittery bodysuit, Swift's performance helped set the tone for a high-energy night that, like music, revealed its intricacies in time. CBS broadcasted the event live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
"Hello and welcome to the 2016 Grammy Awards, Swift addressed the crowd," before the evening's host, L.L. Cool J took the stage. "Our shared love of music unites us," he reminded audiences, "All of us."
Check back for updates as Mic will be live blogging the event.
The first award of the evening was for best rap album, and the prestigious hardware went to Kendrick Lamar for his third album, To Pimp a Butterfly. After a brief acceptance speech from Lamar, the night took a turn in the direction of country music, as Sam Hunt and Carrie Underwood performed a lush duet of "Heartbeat."
Sam Hunt, this year's breakout country star, was also up for the best new artist award during Monday's event, and will compete with Courtney Barnett, James Bay, Tori Kelly and Meghan Trainor to win that award. Perhaps as proof of the impact Hunt's made to date, his 2014 LP Montevallo has also been nominated for best country album, and is up against Little Big Town's Pain Killer, Ashley Monroe's The Blade, Kacey Musgraves' Pageant Material and Chris Stapleton's Traveller.
Tuxedo-clad and dapper, Abel Tesfaye a.k.a. The Weeknd, took the stage next to deliver a poignant live performance complete with the musical support from a cellist on stage.
Before any more awards were revealed, Audra Day and Ellie Goulding performed a duet mashup of "Rise Up" and "Love Me Like You Do." Donned in a glamorous white fur coat, Day's delivery stole the spotlight. And despite the solid showing from Hunt earlier during the event, it was next announced that Stapleton won the award for best country album.
Next, in a tribute to crooner Lionel Richie, John Legend joined Meghan Trainor, Demi Lovato and Luke Bryan to deliver a performance in commemoration of the singer winning the MusiCares Person of the Year award, a lifetime achievement accolade. American R&B singer, songwriter and actor Tyrese Gibson joined musical peers on stage to cap off the tribute before Richie himself enchanted audiences with a live rendition of "All Night Long."
Country outfit Little Big Town took the stage next to perform a sultry rendition of "Girl Crush," followed by a Pentatonix tribute to the recently deceased Maurice White of Earth Wind and Fire.
The award for song of the year next went to "Thinking Out Loud" by British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. "Wow," said 24-year old Sheeran, kicking off his acceptance speech, which was peppered with disbelief. As Glenn Frey of The Eagles recently passed away, his band performed a loving tribute.

Next, American singer-songwriter Tori Kelly, who was nominated for best new artist, performed a duet of "Hollow" with James Bay, an English singer-songwriter who was also up for the best new artist award during Monday's awards show.
Finally, much anticipated and sufficiently hyped, the cast of Broadway mega-hit musical Hamilton took the stage next to perform a live rendition of their opening act. The number, which is titled "Alexander Hamilton" is a bold, hip hop-infused take on the life story of America's first Secretary of Treasury and one of the nation's founding fathers.
American actor Don Cheadle then introduced a performance by Kendrick Lamar, who is nominated for 11 awards this year, including accolades for the LP that Cheadle described as a work that "daringly" incorporates funk into hip hop. The performance, which felt like a prison to bonfire saga, boasted dancers clad in body paint and grass skirts. Lamar's showing, which felt something like a historical odyssey, seemed to span a multitude of time periods, cultures and genres.
As a last frame and perhaps the boldest takeaway of the evening thus far, Lamar was silhouetted by a bright white projection of the continent of Africa with the word "Compton" imposed in gothic font on the image.
To add to the highflying energy, Hamilton next took home the award for best musical theatre album. True to form, the acceptance speech was delivered in the rap-style of Hamilton, a delivery that sent the Twitter sphere on fire with respect.
The grammy for best rock performance went to southern garage rock outfit Alabama Shakes. The group, which is perhaps soul-inspired above all else, took the stage to accept the award, during which time singer Brittany Howard revealed that the band's origins date back to high school. During the gratitude-filled speech, Howard also endearingly confessed that her heart was beating "a mile a minute."
In perhaps one of the most anticipated performance of the evening, British superstar Adele next took the stage to perform a live rendition of "All I Ask." Though plagued by brief sound issues, the singer, who was decorated in a sparkly red gown, delivered an altogether powerful performance that strongly resonated with the audience.

Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber took the stage next for a performance of "Love Yourself," after which the singer threw down his guitar to perform a highly-charged rendition of his hit "Where Are Ü Now." Encased in a leopard print jacket, Bieber eventually shed his outer layer to conclude his rendition with an energized dance session.
Next up was the award for best new artist, an accolade delivered by British singer-songwriter Sam Smith. The award went to Trainor, during which the tearful recipient thanked her parents among others for "always believing" in her.
If the night's numerous moving performances hadn't already shook audiences, Lady Gaga elevated the evening with a ground-shaking tribute to the recently deceased, iconic musician David Bowie. Blaring "Rebel, Rebel," and boasting Bowie's signature red hair to boot, Gaga's performance gave every single witness chills. A living celebration of the avant garde movement, Gaga epitomized Bowie's capacity to be a chameleon of a performer.
What's more, the transcendental showing was bolstered by a standing ovation.
After banking two awards, Stapleton performed a sultry tribute to B.B. King. Bonnie Raitt and Gary Clark Jr. joined the country singer for the performance. The infamous blues singer King passed away in May.
After Beyoncé announced Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars won record of the year for "Uptown Funk," Taylor Swift won album of the year, and during her acceptance speech cautioned women around the world that there may at time be individuals who try to take credit for their success. In winning the award, Swift became the first female in history to win this accolade twice.
"There are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success, take credit for your accomplishments, or you fame," Swift said, a comment many were quick to suggest was a direct dig at rapper Kanye West, whose controversial lyricism regarding Swift recently caused a stir.
Finally, Pitbull, Sofia Vergara and Robin Thicke closed out the evening with a confetti-fueled performance, back dropped by backup dancers and checker-clad, taxi-themed outfits.

An "Emotional Rollercoaster"
by David L. Tannenwald
Kenyatta Smith '15 tallied 12 points and made six of seven shots against Brown on Saturday. If he performs reliably in the post against Yale, it will go a long way toward advancing Harvard's NCAA tournament hopes.

Tommy Amaker, the Stemberg Family head coach of men's basketball, is trying to keep his team calm and focused amid the postseason upheaval.
Harvard Hardwood, the Harvard Magazine basketball report
Last Wednesday, Tommy Amaker, the Stemberg Family head coach of men's basketball, sat on a leather couch in the glass-encased lounge overlooking Lavietes Pavilion with his arm stretched out and a grin on his face. He was preparing for home games against Yale and Brown that would determine whether the program would capture its fifth consecutive conference title and, potentially, a fourth straight NCAA tournament berth. But before discussing business, Amaker joked about the probability that Boston would break the record for winter snowfall.
Why was the coach so loose ahead of the season's most pivotal moment?
It was strategic. With so much hoopla surrounding the weekend, Amaker was demonstrating to his players the need to stay calm. "I don't think I have to emphasize to them the importance [of these games]," he said.
Amaker's even-keeled approach paid dividends as he guided his team through a weekend he characterized as an "emotional rollercoaster." It started with a 62-52 loss to Yale on Friday evening that allowed the Bulldogs to clinch at least a share of the Ivy title—and, more important, meant that if Yale won at Dartmouth on Saturday, Harvard's hopes for another Ivy League title would end.
On Saturday, Harvard did its part by defeating Brown 72-62, and miraculously Yale—which had been up five points with 24 seconds left—fell to the Big Green 59-58 on a last-second basket. That result gave Harvard a share of the conference championship and means that the Crimson will square off with Yale next Saturday to determine who represents the Ancient Eight in the NCAA tournament. The question is which Crimson team will show up.
Harvard Hardwood
Sign up for Harvard Magazine's basketball e-mail and follow the Crimson all season long. David L. Tannenwald '08 will provide the latest news, game summaries, and insights as the Crimson chase another Ivy title.
The Low Point
Amaker tried to downplay the significance of Friday's game, but Yale's team and the rest of the Harvard community did not. Shortly before tipoff, Justin Sears, the Bulldogs' star forward, posted on Facebook that he came to Yale to get into Skull and Bones, one of the school's elite secret societies (a dream that he acknowledged is "dead"), and "To Beat Harvard."
Meanwhile, the Harvard Athletic Department welcomed ESPN broadcaster Michele Steele to campus to report on the big game for Sports Center, and also honored all three of the Crimson's fall Ivy League champions—football, women's soccer, and women's volleyball. With those teams' members turning out in force to celebrate, the student section overflowed into extra bleachers. The football squad, wearing matching crimson pullovers, stood courtside and began heckling Javier Duren, Yale's other star player, during warm-ups. The sold-out crowd was as loud as any the Crimson has seen since the 2011 Ivy clincher against Princeton.
But Harvard's hoopsters failed to harness the crowd's energy. After a back-and-forth first half, the Bulldogs opened up a 12-point lead on a jumper from senior forward (and Rhodes Scholar) Matt Townsend with 12 minutes remaining. Harvard twice cut the deficit to four points, and once pulled within two, but the Bulldogs didn't buckle. With 12 seconds left, and the Bulldogs ahead by eight, Yale coach James Jones hugged his assistants, signaling the victory was in hand.
Once again, the Crimson suffered from anemic outside shooting and poor focus. Harvard made just two of 17 three-point attempts, and Corbin Miller '15 ('17)—the team's best long-range marksman—missed all eight of his attempts from three-point range. The team's lone offensive spark came from senior co-captain Steve Moundou-Missi, who tallied 21 points and 10 rebounds. Despite Amaker's attempt to keep them grounded, the rest of the team struggled with the gravity of the moment. "We just let our emotions get too high," lamented Wesley Saunders '15, the reigning Ivy League Player of the Year, who scored 11 points for the game and just three points in the second half.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs made their way to Hanover on their own high. Yale had clinched at least a share of its first conference title since 2002—and with a win at Dartmouth could capture an NCAA tournament berth for the first time since 1962. As Duren, who carved up the Crimson defense for a game-high 22 points, Tweeted after the game, "One. More."
The Mid Point
Before Saturday's game, Amaker shared with his players an adage he attributed to an earlier Harvard athlete, John F. Kennedy '40, LL.D. '56: "Never settle for second place when first place is still available." The advice proved prescient.
After falling behind the Bears by as many as seven points in the first half, the Crimson pulled away from Brown in the second half with one of its most balanced offensive efforts of the season: Siyani Chambers '16 led Harvard with 15 points, but Saunders, Kenyatta Smith '15, and Jonah Travis '15 tied for second with 12 points each.
Harvard's offense also operated "inside-out," something the coach has been calling for all year. On the interior, Smith, whom Amaker has gradually worked back into the lineup since the big man injured his knee against Boston College, scored on several jump hooks. Meanwhile, after his horrid shooting against Yale, Miller sank a pair of long balls, and Chambers nailed three of four three-point attempts, helping the team shoot 40 percent from behind the arc.
With the offense clicking, the Crimson went on a 17-1 run roughly halfway through the second half to break the game open. It was one of Harvard's finest stretches all year. But as Amaker took his seniors—who lost just five times at Lavietes in their careers—off the floor and the crowd responded with a standing ovation, it was uncertain whether they would have the chance to build on that performance in a meaningful contest. The answer lay in Hanover.
A High Point
To accommodate CBS Sports Network, which was broadcasting the game, Harvard and Brown had tipped off at 6:00 p.m. Meanwhile, Yale and Dartmouth had begun playing at 7:00, the typical start time for Ivy contests. As a result, when the final buzzer sounded at Lavietes, fans, players, and coaches spread out across the athletic complex to monitor (or in some cases avoid) the game at Dartmouth, which Yale led by single digits late in the second half.
Amaker, and many players, retired to an adjoining building for a pizza party to honor the graduating seniors and watched the game on television. Meanwhile, a handful of fans and players—including Travis and freshman Andre Chatfield—monitored the game courtside. Matt Fraschilla '17, an energetic back-up point guard, alternated between the courtside group and the glass-encased lounge overlooking the court, where a handful of reporters watched the game online.
For fans—regardless of their teams' postseason fate—it was captivating basketball. Yale had a five-point lead with 24 seconds left, but Dartmouth sank a three and a pair of free throws to knot the score at 57. Then, with Yale ahead by one and less than two seconds remaining, Dartmouth senior Gabas Maldunas scored on an inbounds play to give the Big Green the win. After the game, the highly touted Lithuanian big man directed a concise Tweet to the Harvard team: "you're welcome."
Back at Lavietes, several players dove and piled on top of each other at center court. Fraschilla ran upstairs and yelled, "Rematch!" And one attendee at the reception reported that even the even-keeled Amaker went "crazy" when the game concluded.
Apex?
Where will this team crest?
The Crimson can take comfort in the fact that amid all of this season's peaks and valleys, they have improved. Moundou-Missi is a case in point. The senior power forward scored in double figures in just two of the team's first 10 games, but he scored 12 or more points in seven of the team's final eight contests. The same can be said of Smith, who looked as good as he has all year against Brown. Paired with Travis, those players can give the Crimson the interior presence that their coach's inside-out offense demands. That would make the Crimson a threat to beat Yale and, in a best-case scenario, continue the team's recent string of victories in the NCAA tournament.
On the other hand, the team's disjointed offensive display against Yale was a reminder of just how much the Crimson has struggled during much of the season. Even with a strong interior presence, Harvard's offense relies on strong outside shooters; if Miller and his teammates cannot make outside shots, they will find it difficult to beat the Bulldogs, let alone win a game (or two) in the tournament.
Harvard will answer these questions next Saturday when they take on Yale at the Palestra, in Philadelphia.
The women's basketball team defeated Yale 68-63 on Friday night and overcame Brown 76-69 on Saturday. Junior AnnMarie Healey set a career high with 24 points to help the Crimson take down the Bulldogs. Against the Bears, senior Temi Fagbenle led the way with 16 points and 18 rebounds, giving her 13 double-doubles this season. With the victories, the Harvard women concluded their season at 14-14 overall and 7-7 in league play.

Here you will find our Fall or Halloween shows. Many but not all of these are also in the Tomes of Terror series.
A nationwide re-telling of the classic American tale
In 2011 PMRP spearheaded a nationwide campaign to spread the joy of terrifying radio drama to all the corners of America!
That Halloween, several radio drama troupes presented live performances of Washington Irving's classic American horror tale, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". Each troupe adapted their own version of the story: from its original late 18th century setting to the modern day.
Organizations that have signed on so far include:

Hallowe'en comes alive! Our Hallowe'en show for 2013 featured our original adaptation of the classic horror film "Night of the Living Dead", which largely inspired the zombie genre, and our version of the Suspense! episode "Ghost Hunt", about a skeptic's stay in a haunted house.

In October 2005, we re-created Arch Oboler's lost Lights Out! episode "Chicken Heart" as part of Chicken Hearts and Other Parts , a Hallowe'en-themed fundraiser for local filmmaker Chelsea Spear. In addition to "Chicken Heart", the performance featured "The Atlantis Affair", "Erasure", and Improv PoetryProse by nationally-recognized voice artist Lindsay Ellison, and "The Unhappy Medium", a segment from Spear's project The Ballad of Burd Janet, a tretelling of the Celtic folktale Tam Lin.

For our third Big Broadcast, we returned to WPM's studio atop the Putnam-Moore department store for an episode of The Frank Cyrano Byfar Hour, in which Frank and Amelia moved into the Adams family home on Beacon Hill after Amelia's father, Ephraim J. Adams, left it to her in his will. With this move they also inherited the Adams' long-suffering butler, Chelmsford, along with an unusual assortment of neighbors and nuisances. The show was capped by a visit from one of Hollywood's leading ladies—none other than Katharine Hepburn herself! Following the Byfar Hour, in broadcast planned by station manager Howard Comstock to compete with the ever-encroaching threat to radio audiences posed by television, WPM broadcast an original adaptation of Washington Irving's classic tale The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
These performances were part of a nationwide radio-drama event, Sleepy Hollow: The Ride Across America . We were joined by special musical guest Jaggery.

For our second Big Broadcast, performed in October of 2010 at the Somerville Theatre, PMRP returned to the Rooftop Gardens Auditorium at the famed Putnam-Moore department store for another episode of WPM's Frank Cyrano Byfar Hour to join Frank Cyrano and the gang for great music and lots of Hallowe'en fun, including a special guest appearance by none other than Hollywood horror legend Boris Karloff!. Then we presented another two chilling Tomes of Terror from the WPM archives: "But Oh, What Happened to Hutchings!" which touches among other subjects upon the finer points of cadaver acquisition, and "The Sirens of War" in which a Navy barge carrying munitions to the Gulf of Mexico encounters mysterious and compelling forces along the Missouri.
The Big Broadcast of October 30th, 1938
For our first Big Broadcast, performed at the Somerville Theatre in October 2009, we went back to 1938 with The Frank Cyrano Byfar Hour, as it might have been broadcast from the Rooftop Gardens Auditorium of the Putnam-Moore Department Store in downtown Boston, where we joined Frank, Amelia Adams, Charley Kendall, Jenny Brennan, Lex Concord and the Minutemen and the Chowderhouse Gang for some great music, lots of Halloween fun, and a very special guest star! Then we performed an original adaptation of The War of the Worlds, telling the story of how Boston fared during the famous Martian invasion of 1938, using news bulletins and field reports and dramatic recreations to depict the amazing story of how a North End mobster, an MIT scientist, and the Massachusetts National Guard allied themselves to carry out one final strike against the Martians and drive them from the city! We were joined by Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band.

ASCENSION IS A PARISH OF THE ANGLICAN CHURCH IN NORTH AMERICA
We are a community of believers in Jesus Christ; one part of His universal Church. We are a family of congregations known as the Anglican Church in North America.
Our liturgical and apostolic roots are in the Church of England, but we trace our family line (or, "Apostolic succession") back to Christ's Apostles through this church.
Our congregations, or parishes, are organized into dioceses, each of which is overseen by a senior pastor or bishop. Each congregation is cared for by ordained priests and deacons.
ANGLICANISM
The Anglican Communion has 80 million members in 160 countries and is a part of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
Anglicans seek to be biblically faithful while retaining the ancient traditions of the Faith. Anglicans hold the historic Faith of the ancient Church: built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone, upheld in the Scriptures, preserved in the Creeds, defined by the Councils of the undivided Church, and liturgically expressed in praise to God through The Book of Common Prayer.
By God's grace we aim to be...
We are part of the Great Tradition - the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church.
Our worship is grounded in the historic liturgy expressed in the Book of Common Prayer.
We read and teach the Holy Scriptures as God's living word, through which the Holy Spirit continues to speak today.
We believe that the physical universe is alive with God's presence that the Almighty mediates his presence and blessings through sacraments like Baptism and the Holy Eucharist.
THOUGHTUL
We want our worship to be passion-filled, but also thoughtful. We there provide space for quiet reflection and contemplation in our services.
Although we sometimes fail, we want to be a loving community of people whose hearts are open to all, and who practice generosity and hospitality in our gatherings, our homes, and our neighbourhoods.

Tichon (; * 2. Juli 1958 als Georgij Alexandrowitsch Schewkunow,  in Moskau) ist ein russischer Geistlicher, Bischof der Russisch-Orthodoxen Kirche und Schriftsteller. Er ist Metropolit von Pskow und Porchow. Er wird oft als persönlicher Beichtvater des russischen Präsidenten Putin bezeichnet.

Leben
1982 absolvierte Schewkunow ein Studium an der staatlichen Filmhochschule in Moskau.

Mönch und Bischof
Im selben Jahr wurde er getauft und zog ins Höhlenkloster in Petschory in der Oblast Pskow. Sein Beichtvater während seines Noviziats war Archimandrit Ioann Krestiankin (1910–2006). 1986 wurde er in die Verlagsabteilung des Moskauer Patriarchats versetzt, wo er Metropolit Pitirim unterstellt war. Seine erste dortige Aufgabe geschah im Zusammenhang mit den Tausend-Jahr-Feiern zum Gedenken an die Christianisierung der Rus. 1991 legte er im Donskoi-Kloster das Mönchsgelübde ab. Er nahm dabei den Namen Tichon an, nach dem Patriarchen Tichon, und wurde gleichzeitig zum Hierodiakon ernannt, einen Monat später dann zum Hieromonachos. 1993 wurde er Leiter des neu errichteten Moskauer Metochions des Höhlenklosters Pskow-Petschory. 1995 wurde er von Patriarch Alexius II. zum Hegumen ordiniert, 1998 erhielt er den Rang eines Archimandriten.

1999 wurde er zum Rektor des Geistlichen Sretenski-Seminars (auf dem Territorium des Sretenski-Klosters in Moskau) ernannt, das er 2004 auf dem Korrespondenzweg abschloss. 2010 wurde er Mitglied des Kulturrats des Präsidenten Russlands. Seit März 2011 ist er Mitglied des Obersten Rates der Russisch-Orthodoxen Kirche. Am 22. Oktober 2015 ernannte ihn der Heilige Synod der Russisch-Orthodoxen Kirche zum Bischof von Jegorjewsk, Vikar des Patriarchen von Moskau und der ganzen Rus und Leiter des Westlichen Vikariats der Stadt Moskau. Zwei Tage später wurde er von Patriarch Kyrill I. zum Bischof von Jegorjewsk geweiht.

2018 ernannte ihn der Heilige Synod zum Metropoliten von Pskow und Porchow.

Autor und Filmregisseur
In den ersten Jahren der Perestroika veröffentlichte Tichon einige Artikel, darunter einen polemischen Beitrag gegen okkulte Heilpraktiken, der vielfach aufgelegt wurde.

Tichon hat zahlreiche Bücher geschrieben, darunter ein Kinderbuch Vater Serafim (2002) über Seraphim von Sarow. Seine Sammlung von Erzählungen über Heilige, auf Englisch unter dem Titel Everyday Saints and Other Stories erschienen, erzielte 2012 in Russland den höchsten Verkaufserfolg.

Sein Film Untergang eines Weltreichs. Byzantinische Lektion wurde 2008 als bester Dokumentarfilm mit dem Goldenen Adler, dem russischen Gegenstück zum amerikanischen Golden Globe Award, ausgezeichnet. Der Film befasst sich mit dem Untergang von Byzanz und stellt die Renaissance als uneingeschränktes, vom Westen gesteuertes Übel dar.

Verhältnis zu Putin und politische Positionen
Tichon pflegt seit etwa 1999 eine persönliche Bekanntschaft mit Präsident Putin und hat ihn auf zahlreichen In- und Auslandsreisen begleitet. Ob er auch der geistliche Ratgeber ("Duchownik") des russischen Präsidenten ist, wird sowohl von ihm als auch von Putin weder bestätigt noch bestritten. Der umstrittene frühere Bankier Pugatschow behauptet, die beiden Männer miteinander bekannt gemacht zu haben.

Tichon gilt als ausgeprägt konservativ. Er unterstützt die völkerrechtswidrige Annexion der Krim durch die Russische Föderation.

 2008: Orden der Freundschaft
 2016: Großer Literaturpreis Russlands

How to start a career in music
Renowned among your friends for your extensive and legendary Spotify playlists? Music may be your perfect career.
Whether you love playing an instrument, singing a tune, or tinkering with Pro Tools, as a music lover you've do doubt thought about pursuing a career in the industry. But, how should you get started?
Let's not beat around the bush. The music industry is notoriously competitive and hard to get into. If you're willing to put in the work, why not give yourself the chance to pursue your dream?
Is it unrealistic wanting to pursue a career in the music industry?
According to the Australian Government's job outlook for music professionals, employment in the music industry is set to grow by over 8% by 2026. In fact, the number of jobs in the industry has almost doubled since 2018.
As the digital world expands, traditional roles in the industry are growing and opportunities are being created as new technology is created. Now is the perfect time to forge a unique and lasting career in music.
Will I make a decent living?
Again, according the the Australian Government's job outlook service, on average, full-time music professionals make just over $90,000 a year. Of course, your salary is largely based on the specific role you pursue in the industry and how determined you are to establish a successful career.
It's also important to note most jobs in the industry are casual, part-time or contractual. The music industry is at the heart of the gig economy and because of this, many music professionals combine a day job doing something like teaching music with working at night and on the weekends performing. In fact, we recently spoke to musician and TAFE Queensland music teacher, Toby Loveland, who does exactly this.
As a performance musician, singer, composer or producer with an entrepreneurial mindset, social media and the internet could also be the key to unlocking a successful career in music. Rolling Stone magazine noted recently how the video sharing app TikTok has taken over the music industry and has been the catalyst for the success of some of today's biggest pop artists, both in terms of reach and capital.
Is it worth it to get a qualification in music?
By exploring a qualification in music, you can utilise your knowledge and passion to gain experience and skills in how to create the kind of music you want to listen to, as well as be taken seriously by people further along in the industry.
TAFE Queensland's Diploma of Music (CUA50820) offers Sound Production and Performance streams to tailor your study experience. Our campuses have purpose built studios and equipment to allow you to create the music career of your dreams.
Whether you want to be centre stage as a musician or vocalist, or work behind the scenes as a sound engineer, composer, or music manager, a music qualification can help turn your musical dreams into a reality. As an advanced qualification, you'll find a Diploma of Music (CUA50820) will open doors that are often closed to self taught or entry-level musicians.
How do I switch careers into the music industry?
The beauty of gaining a qualification like a Diploma of Music (CUA50820) is that you can study while you continue to work. You'll be able to work as a performer, composer, or industry professional after completing this course as it will equip you with the fundamental skills and knowledge required to get a job in the industry.
If you're not sure about your next steps, you can begin your studies with a certificate, like our Certificate III in Music (CUA30920), which takes around six months to complete, and dip your toes in the water while you work out your long-term plan. Once you've established that plan, you may decide to continue on to gaining your diploma, or take it even further by completing our Bachelor of Contemporary Music, offered in partnership with Southern Cross University.
It's also common for people to explore a career in the industry while still working a full or part-time job (like doing gigs on the weekend or tutoring students at night). Having the goal to make your side gig your full-time career means you maintain income security while you make industry connections and grow your network.
Ready to write your first hit song? Learn more from Mary, one of our passionate and creative music teachers. In her webinar, Mary discusses the unique experiences and connections you can create while studying music with TAFE Queensland.

What is the most appropriate QUESTION for right now ?
*Cords* are emotional (some would say 'empathic' or 'psychic') connections to other people. The most common example is a mother's connection to her son or daughter. Most people are unaware of them. Twins often have such cords. But more subtle are those between mates and lovers, and anyone you have strong emotional connections with, or have attachment to his/her healing as a result of your investment of time and energy. Including with people in ones past who are not (consciously) thought about anymore, whether the emotions are positive or negative. The essential point here is that cords are related to boundaries. And most can be related to energy integrity, just as walls are related to security. And although most people may not be aware of having such attachments, let alone what it's actually about, let alone it's critical relationship to burnout. And And that's why it's good to become aware of these cords and to cut or attinuate/qualify some of them. Because these energy dynamics are actually big factors for many people in the health service trades.
Hint for those who like to contemplate or apply these considerations: Cording has a great deal to do with attitudes, definitions, conscious and often unconscious beliefs. That includes about *caring* (compassion vs sympathy), expectations of results for your caring, *responsibility* (for whom and what), as well as *intimacy* - but not necessarily the latter for any given situation.
There are techniques and systems for dealing with these, in case you wondered.

Andrew Yang on lawsuit against New York for canceling presidential primary

NEW YORK (AP/NEWS10) — Lawyers for withdrawn presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Andrew Yang are urging a judge to overrule New York state's decision to cancel its 2020 Democratic presidential primary. Both native New Yorkers, Yang and Sanders ran on progressive policy platforms.
Lawyers for would-be delegates including former presidential candidate Andrew Yang—born in Schenectady—argued Monday that the state acted unconstitutionally when it made the cancellation on April 27, citing the coronavirus pandemic. The Manhattan federal court lawsuit filed by Yang and others was joined by Sanders' supporters.
Judge Analisa Torres heard arguments on a conference call before reserving decision. The Democratic members of the State's Board of Elections voted to cancel the primary even though New York was still planning to hold its congressional and state-level primaries June 23.
In his "Yang Speaks" podcast on Monday, the universal basic income proponent laid out his position for legal action against the Board of Elections.
"It's really a bad precedent to be like, 'This time? No need to vote.' Because if you let that go, then you can end up with some very disastrous situations where people don't think they like what's going to come out of the vote, so they come up with some reason not to have it. … Other states have had vote-by-mail for a long time."
Listen to the excerpt of the podcast below:
For his part, Sanders, perhaps the most progressive major-party candidate in American history, urged voters to cast their ballots for him even as he endorsed presumptive nominee Joe Biden. Remaining on the ballot theoretically allows Sanders to influence the Democratic presidential platform, pulling it to the left.
According to Ballotpedia, even though the presidential primary is canceled, elections for 13 of New York's 27 congressional districts are still to be decided on June 23.
Activists in New York and across the country view the move with skepticism, arguing that the cancellation is meant to indirectly prevent progressives from being involved in the political process. Without big-name progressive candidates bringing out voters to cast symbolic protest votes, smaller down-ballot contests are freed of progressive influence.
Specifically, the suit argues that the Board of Elections is "Suppressing voter turnout as voters will have less incentive to vote if they cannot cast a vote for the highest office in the land." Yang filed suit on April 28. View the complaint below:
