Here we a have selection of all the main accessories you my need to go with your keyboard, such as sustain pedals, keyboard or piano stands, headphones, carry cases, stools and piano benches and much more. We have carefully selected the best value for money, good quality products to cover most keyboards and digital pianos. You can view all our keyboard and piano accessories by clicking HERE.
Here is a selection of keyboards stands. Some are generic, for example the X Frame style stands are designed with all keyboards and digital pianos in mind. The keyboard sits on top held in place with simple rubber cap ends, as you play with a downward motion these make very little movement but are not fixed, or completely rigid as other fixed stands can be, a double X stand will "wobble" much less. They are ideal to fold up and put away or take with you to gigs or friends houses. The TGKT1 has four legs and is fully adjustable, great for digital pianos or keyboards of various sizes. 61 to 88 key keyboards and pianos fit on here great! Other stands are designed to be more rigid in nature, or are designed by the manufacturer to screw in and fix to specific models. Please check if you are unsure which stand will fit your model before you purchase.
Here is a selection of sustain pedals suitable for keyboards and digital pianos. They connect via a jack socket (the cable is attached to the pedal and plugs into the back of your keyboard or digital piano). They can vary from a square footswitch style pedal to more traditional pedals that you see on acoustic pianos. The traditional looking pedals tend to be a little more robust and less likely to move as you press on them. They work to a set "polarity". This is the basic on/off signal, Yamaha for example use a positive polarity and Casio are a negative polarity. What this means is the pedal will work the wrong way round if the polarity is wrong "ie on is off and off is on". Most keyboards have the ability to change the polarity within the functionality, some generic sustain pedals have a simple switch to change it, so no big worry but worth you knowing about. If in doubt get the one that's the same brand as your keyboard/piano, or get a generic model with a switch on it.
If you have the correct wooden manufacturer stand for your digital piano some manufacturers have made pedalboard units to add to your product to give you a sustain pedal feature and other functionality (Please check digital piano is compatible before purchasing).
Its essential as any teacher will tell you that you sit in the correction position to play at your keyboard or piano. You should sit so that your back is straight and you arms are at right angle with your fingers resting on the keys "like you are holding an orange". We have some great seating options below to ensure you are in comfort and in the correct position to play your best!
Here we have a selection of dust-covers for your keyboard or digital piano. Please select the one related to the number of keys on your product. For example if you keyboard has 61 keys or if your digital piano has 88 keys and so on. The drawstring covers are great, they are easy to put over your products and you simply pull the string to give a nice look and stop dust from going under the keys.
You may wish to transport your keyboard or digital piano to a gig, friends house, or simply want a bit of padding when storing your product. We have selected a few cases below that could be ideal for you. Please ensure you check the sizes so that you get the best one for you. Many more cases and bags are available in our accessories section such as hard cases and we can even get bespoke cases made for you, please contact us if you have a specific requirement and we will do our best to help.
The Berkeley Slimline Padded Keyboard Bag will fit most 88 key portable digital pianos, is padded and great to make your item transportable. The Stagg K10-097 will fit most standard size 61 key keyboards such as Yamaha PSRE range or Casio CTK range. Keyboards that are a little deeper such as the Yamaha PSRS range would need the Stagg K10-099. The Genos bag is for the Yamaha Genos but may fit other keyboards.
We have selected some great powered keyboard speakers for you. Great for at home or for "gigging". All keyboards and digital pianos have a headphones socket and some have dedicated output sockets. If your keyboard does not have dedicated output sockets you can still use external amplification by putting a lead in the headphone socket (this is effectively an output socket) and then connect this lead to the input on a powered amplifier or PA system. This will enable you to not just be louder if you wish, but get a much better quality and deeper richer sound at lower volumes.
As you spend more on the speaker you will get more power, a better speaker/s, more ways to get the sound better called EQ (equalization) and more inputs to maybe add a mic for example?!
Below is a selection of jack leads that can be used to simply connect your keyboard or electric piano kit to your powered monitor speaker (like the ones listed above). You only need one lead and you will notice a "Jack to Mini Jack Converter" adaptor in the list in addition to these. If your keyboard or digital piano has a "small (mini jack)" output socket (ie the headphone socket) you will need this converter to make the 1/4 inch jack (full size jack) small enough to fit the output socket of your keyboard/digital piano.
If you are unsure what size your headphone socket is please check the details, contact us, or purchase it anyway as this can come in handy for other devices such as playing your mobile phone through the speaker or other devices you may have that have a mini jack output socket.
Some keyboards have the ability to plug a microphone in them so you can talk, or sing through them. You need to ensure the microphone you get is the right connecting lead from the mic to your amplifier (or the right pack with the right lead in it). Some amplifiers (or keyboard mic input sockets) have an XRL socket and some have a 1/4" jack socket, the mic end is always the same (female XLR). We have many more mics HERE and microphone accessories HERE but these below we feel are great value for you. A mic boom stand is great for keyboard/piano players (and guitarists), this is because you have an arm that allows the mic to hold on an angle in front of you and out of the way of your arms. A straight mic stand would be in the way. If you need help please get in touch with us. Don't forget your mic clip! - Thats the bit that holds the mic on the boom stand.
Starting with a basic set of headphones, the Electrovision AO88 do the job. Moving up to the more comfortable HPH50 Yamaha headphones you can feel and hear a significant difference with a frequency response of 20 hzto 20 khz 38mm driver unit you can hear in much more detail. The HOH100 has added adjustments for comfort and a 40mm driver to give you an even better tone. The Roland RH200 Headphones are better in every way, they are bigger and have more ear padding for extra comfort and to cut out outside noise and have a 20hz to 20000hz range with a bigger speaker to give you a great quality sound.
Please note all these headphones work on a mini jack (standard 1/8 socket ) or full size jack socket (standard 1/4 inch socket). Basically all these headphones will work and fit all the instruments we sell, regardless of the headphone jack socket they have.
Some keyboards have the ability to use a volume pedal via a socket built into the keyboard. This allows you to adjust the volume up and down by using your "foot". Some people call them "foot volume pedals", or the old organ term of a "swell pedal". This feature is great to be expressive with your playing. If your keyboard or digital piano does not have the ability (with a specific socket to use a volume pedal) you can get an "in-line" volume pedal, this has an input socket and an output socket allowing the volume to be adjusted by running a cable from your keyboard to the pedal and then on to additional amplification such as the keyboard amps shown above. This means if you buy an amp, 2 leads and the volume pedal you can have volume control at your feet on any keyboard or digital piano.
Nowadays most new keyboards come with a power supply (all digital pianos do, that we know of). There are a few Casio keyboards that do not come with a power supply as yet and a couple of the entry level Yamaha keyboards. Sometimes you may need to just purchase a new power supply due to wear and tear. Digital pianos are usually a special order and not "off the shelf" as these can vary. Here are the usual power supplies for the keyboards we sell.

Microsoft rolled out actress Jessica Alba as part of its Windows Phone 8 launch, but most developers will probably care more about the features.
Following weeks of little information about an exact release date, Microsoft finally issued its Windows Phone SDK 8.0 to developers.
Last month, Microsoft had promised a "near-final" SDK for select developers, adding that a "full" SDK would be publicly available later in 2012. In a Sept. 5 posting on The Windows Phone Developer Bog, Microsoft executive Todd Brix suggested that access to the SDK preview was limited, something that didn't sit well with some developers and pundits.
But now it's here, the day after Microsoft officially launched Windows Phone 8 at a high-profile event in California. The SDK includes a standalone version of Visual Studio Express 2012; it also works as an "add-in" to Visual Studio 2012 Professional, Premium or Ultimate editions. There are also tools and emulators for testing the actual Windows Phone app once it's built.
But the question originally raised by Bright still stands: by releasing the full SDK so close to Windows Phone 8's rollout date, Microsoft has deprived legions of potential developers the chance to have their apps latest polished and ready for downloading just as the first Windows Phone 8 devices arrive on store shelves. On the other hand, Microsoft claims that the Windows Phone store already features some 120,000 apps which will run on Windows Phone 8 devices—in light of that, the company might not care overly much about apps built specifically for Windows Phone 8 taking a little bit more time to actually appear in its app storefront.
Windows Phone 8 features include a "Kid's Corner," which lets children run rampant within a specialized area of an adult's device without the adult in question worrying about unapproved purchases and other oopsies; Wallet, which lets users store credit-card information and other personal data on their phone; and a streamlined Skype app for communication. But Windows Phone 8 faces significant competition this holiday season from the iPhone 5 and a variety of Android phones; in a bid to create a healthy software ecosystem and push back against those mature platforms, Microsoft will doubtlessly continue to court third-party mobile developers.

Q: C++ Errors (but why ?) I am teaching myself C++ and have been struggling with this rudimentary piece of code, that I can't seem to finesse or figure out what exactly is my error. I'm seeking to create a logic-based word game and it's not executing and/or freeing itself of compiling errors.
Any tips ?
Thanks !
#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {
    int y = 1;
    int n = 2;
    int i;
    int choice;
    int choose() {
    if (1)
        std::cout << "Is 1 greater than 2 ? Please enter '1' for Yes or '2' for No.\n";
    else(2);
    std::cout << "That's not right man. Ugh... Would you like to try again ?\n";

    std::cout << "Choice: ";
    std::cin >> choice;

    switch (choice) {
        case 1:
            std::cout << "Okay, you're getting better (and smarter too).\n";
            break;
        case 2:
            std::cout << "Whatever man ! it's all just a big ol' mind trick anyway, right ? ;-)\n";
    }
    system("pause");
    return choice;
    switch (choice) {
        case 3:
            std::cout << "Would you like to try again ?" << endl;
            break;
        case 4:
            std::cout << "Okey Dokey, well... bye-bye now !" << endl;
    }
}
}

 return 0;

Here are the compiling errors:

A: You are already inside a function here, and you can't define a function inside of another one in c++, so this is invalid:
int choose() {

Even if choose was defined outside of main, the choice variable doesn't exist in the scope of choose function, so these lines are invalid for that reason:
std::cin >> choice;

switch (choice) {
    ...
return choice;

1 always resolves to true, so this always happens, which is not your intent:
if (1)
    std::cout << "Is 1 greater than 2 ? Please enter '1' for Yes or '2' for No.\n";

elsedoesn't take any parameters. If you changed your code so that the above if statement was sometimes false, this part would evaluate (2); as a statement, which does nothing, which is not your intent:
else(2);

This line is meant to come after the else, but it is not in any block that comes immediately after a conditional statement, so it always happens, which is not your intent:
std::cout << "That's not right man. Ugh... Would you like to try again ?\n";

This code immediately follows a return statement in the same function, so will never evaluate:
switch (choice) {
    case 3:
        std::cout << "Would you like to try again ?" << endl;
        break;
    case 4:
        std::cout << "Okey Dokey, well... bye-bye now !" << endl;
}

You don't have a return statement in your main function, which is invalid because it must return an int. Instead you have this return statement outside of any function altogether, which is also invalid.
return 0;

Ива́н Са́ввич Герасиме́нко (1913 год, село Знаменовка, ныне Новомосковского района Днепропетровской области Украины — 29 января 1942 года, окрестности Новгорода) — сержант, участник Великой Отечественной войны. Герой Советского Союза.

Биография
В 1921 году пошёл в школу, окончил шесть классов. До 1936 года проработал трактористом в местном колхозе. Его отец — Савва Антонович Герасименко — работал там же председателем колхозного правления. Кроме Ивана в семье было ещё шестеро детей — два его брата и четыре сестры. Был сельским комсоргом. До ухода в Красную Армию в 1936 году стал Ворошиловским стрелком, отличником ГТО, ГСО, ПВХО. Службу проходил в Красноярском крае. Получил звание сержанта.

После службы по комсомольской путёвке был направлен в Норильск, где и познакомился со своей будущей женой. Проработав в Норильске четыре года, отправился на строительство Кузнецкого металлургического комбината (КМК). Трудился каменщиком в цехе ремонта металлургических печей.

В 1941 году, вскоре после начала Великой Отечественной войны, был мобилизован и отправлен на фронт. В составе 229-го стрелкового полка 225-й дивизии (52-я армия Волховского фронта) командовал отделением стрелков.

Взводом, в котором служил сержант И. Герасименко, командовал лейтенант Поленский. Иван Герасименко был командиром отделения. Кроме него во взводе служили призывавшиеся с ним из Новокузнецка Леонтий Черемнов и Александр Красилов. За пять дней до подвига на заседании партбюро части подал заявление о вступлении в ряды ВКП(б): «Я обязуюсь выполнить все порученные мне задания и хочу пойти на любую операцию членом партии большевиков. Прошу не отказать в моей просьбе».

29 января командир принял решение организовать вылазку группы из 20-ти наиболее подготовленных бойцов на левый берег Волхова. Старшим был назначен сержант Иван Герасименко. Целью операции была разведка с выявлением и уничтожением немецких огневых точек. По замёрзшей реке в темноте группа отправилась к немецким позициям. Они располагались в районе мостовой насыпи и оставшихся от недостроенного в 1914 году моста так называемых «быков». В какое-то мгновение красноармейцы были обнаружены. Начался бой. В ходе ожесточённой перестрелки бойцам удалось уничтожить часть немецких солдат и некоторые огневые точки, однако затем они попали под огонь двух других замаскированных дзотов. Жизнь солдат отделения спас самоотверженный подвиг сначала рядового Черемнова, бросившегося на вражеский пулемёт, а за ним, у другого дзота, А. Красилова и И. Герасименко. Беспрецедентный подвиг сразу трёх воинов позволил остальным бойцам уйти из-под пулемётного огня и продолжить бой с более выгодных позиций.

Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР «О присвоении звания Героя Советского Союза офицерскому, сержантскому и рядовому составу Красной Армии» от 21 февраля 1944 года за «образцовое выполнение боевых заданий командования на фронте борьбы с немецкими захватчиками и проявленные при этом отвагу и геройство» удостоен посмертно звания Героя Советского Союза.

Семья
В период оккупации фашистами Днепропетровской области отец Савва Антонович, старшие братья и сёстры ушли в партизанский отряд. Вскоре отец стал командиром отряда. В селе осталась мать с двумя дочерями. Через некоторое время был схвачен и повешен брат Василий — комсорг партизанского отряда. Вскоре были расстреляны жена и дочь Василия, одна из сестёр и ещё трое родственников семьи Герасименко. Отец также погиб от рук карателей. Сестра Екатерина вместе с матерью была угнана в немецкий концлагерь, а оттуда на каторгу. Ей удалось вернуться живой и сейчас она проживает в селе Знаменовка, в доме, где родился и вырос Иван Герасименко.

Память
 Решением Новокузнецкого городского Совета народных депутатов от 28.04.2015 г. присвоено звание «Почетный гражданин города Новокузнецка».
 6 февраля 1942 года во «Фронтовой газете» (газета Волховского фронта) появилась публикация, рассказывающая о массовом подвиге советских солдат.
 В сельской школе Знаменовки, где учился И. С. Герасименко, оборудована комната боевой и трудовой славы, в которой висит фотография самого Героя и всей его семьи.
 На месте гибели в окрестностях Великого Новгорода установлен мемориал. На мраморной доске высечены имена, даты и посвящение трём воинам. При открытии мемориала рядом были посажены три берёзы.
 В Великом Новгороде на Ярославовом Дворище установлен монумент Черемнову, Красилову и Герасименко.
 Улицы в Новокузнецке и Великом Новгороде названы именем И. Герасименко.
 В городе Донецк (Украина) также есть улица имени сержанта Герасименко.
 В селе Новотроицкое Новомосковского района Днепропетровской области есть улица Герасименко с мемориальной доской.
 Поэт Николай Тихонов написал «Балладу о трёх коммунистах», в которой воспел подвиг Герасименко, Красилова и Черемнова.
 Навечно занесён в список бойцов второй роты 299-го стрелкового полка. Сама 225-я дивизия получила название Новгородской.

Niall Horan reportedly split from girlfriend Melissa Whitelaw due to long distance.
The 21-year-old One Direction singer was first romantically linked with the Australian student in February.
Niall experienced a brief break in April and May from performing concerts with the band on their On the Road Tour, but even though Melissa allegedly visited him in London a couple months ago, it's claimed they just couldn't make it work.
"Niall and Melissa did well to keep their romance low-profile during their time together. They were really close and had fun whenever they went out together," an insider explained to British newspaper The Sun, noting their homes were nearly 10,000 miles apart.
One Direction's On the Road Tour kicks off once again on June 5 in Cardiff, Wales.
And it's claimed Niall intends to drown out the sorrow of the breakup by committing wholeheartedly to his professional pursuits.
"He now intends to focus totally on the band," the source noted.
Previous reports suggested Niall and Melissa were getting very serious, as he even introduced her to all his friends and family in Ireland.
However, it seems Niall is moving on swiftly from the alleged split, as he was seen partying with singer Ariana Grande in London earlier this week.
He was also spotted hanging out with Little Mix songstress Jade Thirlwall last Saturday night.


The statement from the PSOE socialist party came as outgoing conservative Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who Friday abandoned his own attempts to form a new administration, warned the Socialists they risked giving Podemos the whip hand in a new government coalition.
The country has been in political limbo since December's general election, which produced a hung parliament with no easy way of forming a ruling coalition.
Rajoy's conservative Popular Party (PP) won the most seats but fell short of an absolute majority.
Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias said Friday his party hoped to form an alliance with the Socialists and the United Left, a green-communist grouping, as well as land the post of deputy premier and key ministries.
But the Socialists said they would "not enter into negotiations with other political forces to try to find alternatives to a stable government, especially when they are proposed through blackmail and by giving partisan interests priority over the citizens'."
In a thinly veiled criticism of Podemos, the Socialists said that "in order to build a new national project", talks on "policies and specific ideas" must be held -- not on "tactics, partisan interests or unilaterally imposed (decisions)."
The Socialists added that it would continue to talk to all parties to "evaluate the situation".
PSOE leader Pedro Sanchez said on Twitter on Saturday that he had spoken with Alberto Rivera, head of centre-right party Ciudadanos, and that they would "stay in touch in the coming days".
The Socialists also hit out at outgoing Prime Minister Rajoy.
"Rajoy has a constitutional duty ... either to submit his candidacy or to give it up definitively," the statement said.
Earlier Saturday, Rajoy had warned the Socialists against accepting Podemos' offer of working together.
"The government which Pedro Sanchez is desperately seeking would be beholden to Podemos and humiliated by them," he said, adding that his offer to form an alliance with the Socialists and Ciudadanos still stood.
"This pact has not been possible for the time being as Sanchez has refused to talk ... he talked to everyone bar the PP," Rajoy said, while recognising that the PP needed multiparty backing having failed to obtain an absolute majority.
The PP won 119 seats in the December poll, leaving it well shy of an absolute majority in the 350-seat parliament.
Rajoy had urged a "grand coalition" of the PP, the Socialists who came in second place with 89 seats, and new centre-right party Ciudadanos which took 40 seats.
"There is an alternative -- a government formed by the Socialists, Podemos, the United Left and all the pro-independence (regional) parties," Rajoy said.
"But they will do great harm to our country and will be unable to govern as we have a majority in the Senate."
He warned that "radical and extremist economic policies can lead the country to ruin", but vowed the PP would use its absolute Senate majority to "guarantee such wrong-headedness does not come to pass" and "preserve Spanish unity."
A left-wing coalition government would need the support of tiny Catalan and Basque nationalist parties to survive a confidence vote in the event that Ciudadanos swings behind the PP.
A Socialist Party source told AFP on Saturday that "Pedro Sanchez and Pablo Iglesias will meet and talk -- a hand has been held out", while not giving a date.
Is Spain's leftist Podemos party being secretly funded by Iran?

Junkyard Drive
Get ready for a Danish rock n roll explosion!!
Their hit song "Geordie" from last year's well received debut album "Sin & Tonic" has now reached 500.000 plays on Spotify (over 1 mio on all digital streaming platforms) and 200.000 views on Youtube and the band has just been confirmed for a huge European tour.
But if you thought this was it for Junkyard Drive you are wrong! 2018 will not be any kind of stagnant or boring for this Danish hard rock band! Junkyard Drive has just finished their new album 'Black Coffee', which is recorded in Medley Studios in Copenhagen, with Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes, Mike Tramp, Jesper Binzer) as producer. The album is now ready to be released world wide through Mighty Music on September 1st 2018. "Black Coffee" contains 11 hard rocking tracks. Just the way it should be, with a band that has developed a lot since their formation. And you can actually hear that it in the sound! In addition to the new record, Junkyard Drive played at this years Nordic Noise Festival, When Copenhell Freezes Over, and not at least at this years Sweden Rock Festival site by site with bands like Judas Priest, Ozzy and Iron Maiden.
In October & November 2019 Junkyard Drive will hit the road on a European tour with Eclipse!

1815 Beethoven, provisional designation 1932 CE1, is a carbonaceous background asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 30 kilometers (19 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 27 January 1932, by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at the Heidelberg Observatory.[1] The uncommon F-type asteroid seems to have a long rotation period of 54 hours (tentative).[13] It was named after Ludwig van Beethoven.[1]

3.1 Rotation period
3.2 Diameter and albedo
Orbit and classification[edit]
Beethoven is a non-family asteroid from the main belt's background population when applying the hierarchical clustering method to its proper orbital elements.[3][4] Based on osculating Keplerian orbital elements and in previous analysis by Zappalà, the asteroid has also been classified as a member of the Themis family (602), a very large family of carbonaceous asteroids, named after 24 Themis.[3][13]
It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.5–3.8 AU once every 5 years and 7 months (2,043 days; semi-major axis of 3.15 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.19 and an inclination of 3° with respect to the ecliptic.[2] The body's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation at Heidelberg in January 1992.[1]
This minor planet was named after German composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827).[1] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center before November 1977 (M.P.C. 3935).[14]
Physical characteristics[edit]
In the Tholen classification, Beethoven is an uncommon, carbonaceous F-type asteroid,[2] while in the Barucci taxonomy, it is a C0 type.[3]
Rotation period[edit]
In January 2005, a fragmentary rotational lightcurve of Beethoven was obtained from photometric observations by Robert Stephens at his Santana Observatory (646) in California. Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 54±1 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.2 magnitude (U=1).[12]
Diameter and albedo[edit]
According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite and several publications by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Beethoven measures between 23.7 and 33.9 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.04 and 0.10.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link adopts the results obtained by IRAS, that is, an albedo of 0.0548 and a diameter of 30.36 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.36.[13]

Charles H. Rosher Dendereh records
Rosher, Charles H.
Extent: 01 linear foot
Charles H. Rosher was a trained engineer who worked with W.M. Flinders Petrie on archaeological sites in Egypt. Flinders Petrie's recommendation of Rosher as a capable engineer to the Penn and Cairo Museums resulted in his employment to remove several monuments from a site in Tanis. As a part of his duties, Rosher was charged with obtaining a permit for the work. As the permit did not materialize, Sara Yorke Stevenson of the Egyptian section of the museum traveled to Cairo to expedite the process. The diplomacy required to obtain the necessary permits and approvals from the Egyptian governing authorities proved too difficult for even Mrs. Stevenson. While embroiled in the process however, she dismissed Rosher to work for three months with Flinders Petrie to gain basic archaeological skills. As fate would have it, due to delays, Petrie was not able to meet with Rosher nor to train him. Rosher did perform some work at Dendereh and surveyed at the Tanis site. A dispute over his request for more money from the museum led to Penn accepting Rosher's resignation. The permit was never issued to Penn to excavate or remove monuments at Tanis. The Charles S. Rosher collection consists of two drawings from his time in Egypt. These tiems are oversize and kept in the map case. The first drawing, done in 1898 for the American Exploration Society shows "Details of some of the Tombs Excavated at Dendera." It is a reproduction of an ink drawing on paper. There are two small copies of the larger work that have been encapsulated. The second drawing is "Dendera Sketch Map of the Ancient Cemetery excavated by W.M.Flinders Petrie on behalf of the Egypt Exploration Fund". The drawing was completed by Rosher from "surveys by himself and W.M. Flinders Petrie" during the years 1897-1898. This map is also a reproduction of an ink drawing on paper.

Kuantan is the largest city of the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia with a population of about half a million. It is also the capital of the state of Pahang.
Kuantan is located about halfway between Singapore (to the south) and Kota Bahru (to the north). The city is situated at the coast of the South China Sea near the mouth of the Kuantan River. The city is not a major tourist destination, rather a stopover point for island destinations (Tioman, Redang, Perhentians, etc.) along the East Coast. From Kuantan you can also also reach the popular beach in Cherating in less than an hour with the local Bus.
Sandakan is a starting point for ecotourism destinations such as the Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary, Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary,Turtle Islands Park, Kinabatangan River and Gomantong Caves.
Singapore is an island nation located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. At 704.0 sqkm (272 square miles), it is one of the few city-states in the world and the smallest country in Southeast Asia.
Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea, some 30 km off the mainland coast of northwestern Malaysia. The islands are a part of Malaysia's Kedah state, but are adjacent to the Thai border. By far the largest of the islands is the eponymous Pulau Langkawi with a population of about 45,000. The island is a declared duty-free zone.
The peak season is from December to March when moonson at the eastcoast shuts down most of the Islands there (Perhentian etc.). This makes Langkawi a good island alternative during that time period. Generally though, Langkawi can be visited all year around.

Georgetown and Melaka just became Unesco world heritage sites
On Monday, July 7, 2008, the historic city centre of Melaka and Georgetown, Penang with their mostly Chinese shophouses and colonial buildings were just been added into the list of Unesco World Heritage sites. Therefore, Malaysia now has four sites on the list, the other two being Gunung Mulu National Park (Sarawak, tropical karst area) and Kinabalu Park (Sabah, highest peak in South-east Asia).
English is widely spoken so it's very easy to get by. Though a few words of malay (Bahasa Malaysia) are always handy and will impress people. Malay is the official language but due to the multiracial character of the country you'll find many languages spoken like Chinese (mandarin, cantonese, hokkien,...), Tamil among the Indians and several more languages on Borneo.
