Q: Bootstrap 3: Auto-clip affixed side-nav I've been playing around with this for some time but couldn't manage to get it working or find a similar question here.
Here is the fiddle.
We have an affixed side navigation containing a variable number of links. When the number of links get big, the side-nav goes beyond the available height. I would like to clip it off vertically based on available height (excluding the footer when it is in the view). I mean a scroll-bar should appear when the items are clipped.
Has anyone worked on a similar issue? I would really appreciate if you share your experience. And please let me know if it's not a reasonable design :)
I include some code here to make s.o. happy:

JS:
// activate scrollspy and affix for sidenav
$('body').scrollspy({ target: '#sidenav' });
$('#sidenav').affix({
  offset: {
    top: 165
  }
})

CSS:
#sidenav.affix {
    top: 50px;
    z-index: 1;
    width: 212.5px;
}
#sidenav {
    margin-bottom: 20px;
}

A: Tricky because the element is position fixed. Try modifying your .affix class:
#sidenav.affix {
  top: 50px;
  z-index: 1;
  width: 212.5px;
  bottom: 0;       /* <-- add */
  overflow: auto;  /* <-- add */
}

// smooth scrolling
$('a[href*=#]:not([href=#])').click(function() {

    target = target.length ? target : $('[name=' + this.hash.slice(1) + ']');
    if (target.length) {

Thousands of entrepreneurial business leaders have read the Entrepreneurial Operating SystemⓇ books, downloaded the EOSⓇ tools, and are implementing the tools without help from a Certified EOS Implementer. But many of them continue to be frustrated because they're still not getting everything they want from their businesses.
Last week I presented a half-day workshop for business leaders who wanted to learn how to use the EOS Tools under the purest context so they could get the most out of their business.
Throughout the day a common theme emerged. The EOS Tools are incredibly simple, but not easy. The distinction between these two words is important. Simple means not difficult to understand—not complex. Easy means free from pain, trouble, or worry.
Here are the five biggest takeaways the business leaders shared from the workshop.
Vision shared by all – Attendees felt that everyone on their team isn't pulling equal weight. Feeling like a select few carry the bulk of the workload for the many in the company. An essential tool to overcome this is by capturing the company vision and plan in writing by answering 8 simple questions is the Vision/Traction Organizer.
Structure with clear roles and responsibilities – Many business leaders felt that accountability is lacking. It's frustrating when roles and responsibilities aren't clearly defined and agreed upon. Duplicated efforts and dropped responsibilities are common. The Accountability Chart is cited as the most overlooked tool because this was taken for granted by most business leaders. It's not a coincidence that this is the area causing the most frustration for the business leaders in the room.
Effective meeting pulse – Attendees felt that many of their meetings have been a waste of time and unproductive. They were also frustrated because trying to schedule meetings that appeases everyone's schedule can quickly turn into a nightmare. The Level 10 Meeting agenda is an essential tool to running effective meetings. Use this agenda along with following 5 keys to a healthy meeting pulse to create a productive meeting rhythm.
Numbers – Many cited the frustration of not having an absolute pulse on the business through their data. One leader mentioned they have 10 great months every year and two horrific months—and the problem is that they never seem to know in advance which months will be great vs. horrific. Using a weekly scorecard to measure 5-10 leading indicators to get an absolute pulse on the business is critical to overcoming this frustration. Measuring the right numbers on your weekly scorecard can also help you predict your cash flow needs.
90-day priorities – Several attendees felt like everyone is busy, but not focused on the right priorities. Even if your people are working on the things they think are important, those things may not be the most important priorities for the company right now. Meeting with your leadership team offsite to agree upon your 3-7 Rocks (90 day priorities) once a quarter will save you time by ensuring everyone's energy, effort, and time are spent in the right areas at the right time.
The 5 EOS Tools mentioned above help you focus on 3 things: Real. Simple. Results.
REAL. The EOS Tools come from the real world. They're honed, tested, tried, and proven. The tools have been implemented in more than 2,700 entrepreneurial organizations with the help of 160+ Professional EOS Implementers.
SIMPLE. EOS tools are simple stuff. They're crazy simple. If you're one of those smart people that is so complex – thinking that there's got to be more to this – there isn't! If you're offended by simplicity, EOS is definitely NOT for you.
RESULTS. Each of the EOS tools have been carefully designed to work together in the simplest, most effective way possible—all with the focus of getting you the results you want from your business the fastest way possible.
Pick just one of the 5 tools listed above and start working on it in your business. Don't pick more than one because if you do, it will be too overwhelming and you won't do anything. Once you and your team get good at that tool, introduce another tool.
Need a trusted advisor to help you implement EOS and use the tools? Let's talk!

Does Parliament need to approve the new Brexit delay to 31 October 2019?
Does the UK Parliament have to approve the new Brexit extension till 31-Oct-2019?
If Parliament does not approve it, or does not do so before 11 pm, would that result in a no-deal Brexit tonight?
I am asking because the Institute for Government previously said this about the EU Withdrawal No.5 (Cooper-Letwin) bill, relating to the extension to 12 Apr:
If passed, [...] The Government would also need to amend the exit date in UK law, which it can do under the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018. The bill would mean that the UK Government would not need approval votes to make the legal change
but I am not sure if that bill has since changed.
united-kingdom brexit house-of-commons

No, but it nearly did.
The Cooper-Letwin bill originally had language to that effect when it first passed in the Commons, but it got removed in House of Lords for precisely the reason you're asking about: they didn't want to end up with a no deal Brexit by accident due to possible overhead in Parliament. (At a more technical level, the other two answers so far cover what a negative instrument is and why it's being used to begin with.)
This live blog covered the amended bill as it went back through the Commons.
Denis de BernardyDenis de Bernardy
However, didn't they have to approve the extension to 12th of April? Is the current situation different? – ᆼᆺᆼ Apr 12 at 8:57
@ᆼᆺᆼ: The original bill was so that Government needed to ask for a further article 50 extension, and then Parliament needed to confirm the date or something to that effect. I don't recollect the specific language, but it basically passed in the Commons. And then the Lords amended the bill so that Government could simply accept the extension without going through Parliament. The explainer you cite was last updated on April 5, and refers to the initial bill. – Denis de Bernardy Apr 12 at 9:12
Honestly, I don't know why SE doesn't allow accepting multiple answers. Oftentimes there are multiple different but correct answers. But ok; yours was first – ᆼᆺᆼ Apr 12 at 10:53
Paragraph 14 of Schedule 7 to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 originally stated that:
A statutory instrument containing regulations under section 20(4) may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament.
...where section 20(4) allows the government to issue an SI to change exit day to match any extension agreed by the EU and UK. This paragraph required both Houses to approve the SI before it comes into force, and is known as the affirmative resolution procedure. (See also this related question.)
However, section 2 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2019 amended this to read:
A statutory instrument containing regulations under section 20(4) is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.
This is the standard wording which means that the government can issue an SI to come into force whenever it likes, but either House can revoke it within 40 days. This is known as the negative resolution procedure, and makes it easier for the government to make changes it needs without having to wait for Parliament to approve them (though it should be noted that it's extremely rare for Parliament to block or revoke SIs).
With that change in place, the government issued The European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (Exit Day) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2019, which changes the definition of exit day to 31 October 2019 at 11.00 p.m. The SI came into force at 3:15pm on 11 April 2019, and was laid before Parliament an hour later.
It appears in the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons for that day, in the list of "Papers subject to Negative Resolution".
Summary: Parliament no longer needs to approve the new exit day, but it has a fixed amount of time in which it can reject it.
Steve MelnikoffSteve Melnikoff
Of course, parliament is quite adept at rejecting lately, so all bets are off. – Chieron Apr 12 at 15:26
@Chieron: I suspect both sides would whip against rejecting it. In any case, the SI doesn't actually change exit day; instead, it is a bookkeeping exercise to ensure that UK law matches the agreement with the EU. It is an interesting question as to what would happen if the SI were rejected. – Steve Melnikoff Apr 12 at 15:29
@Chieron: Parliament has already repeatedly voted down No Deal. Revoking the SI would effectively be a No Deal, so they're not going to do that, probably. – Kevin Apr 13 at 2:05
@Kevin they repeatedly voted down everything. This was a joke poking at the embarassing last weeks. – Chieron Apr 13 at 10:15
No, because the Cooper bill implements it as a negative instrument. That means that it will happen unless Parliament votes against it, as opposed to the more common positive instrument where Parliament has to vote for it.

How Having the Mentality of a Winner Changed the World for Cristiano Ronaldo
Professional soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo is an inspiration to many. He's someone who excels in any competition or circumstance, and is generally considered one of the greatest soccer players to have ever played the game. He's also the first soccer player to earn over $1 billion dollars.
However, Ronaldo's life wasn't always easy. He grew up in one of the poorest areas in Madeira, had a difficult childhood, and his father died when he was only 20. Through it all, Ronaldo believed in himself; believed he was destined for greatness. And now, his accomplishments speak for themselves.
Ronaldo takes pride in having a winning mindset. He is someone who takes hate as motivation – as fuel – to perform better. And in the process of building one of soccer's most impressive resumés, he's motivated people to work hard, be humble, and continue to learn.
Watch Cristiano Ronaldo give some words of inspiration below.
Ronaldo has won 5 Ballon d'Or awards; he holds the record for most goals in the UEFA Champions League, and in the FIFA World Cup; he's received the FIFA Player of the Year Award, and has twice won Best FIFA Men's Player.
There are also hundreds of other national and regional awards. But on the field success aside, Ronaldo has also built a formidable personal brand. He's the owner of multiple hotels in Portugal, owns gyms throughout Europe, and even founded a hair transplant clinic in Spain.
A post shared by Cristiano Ronaldo (@cristiano)
It's true that you can't build a brand like that without professional success. But you also can't do it without a strong sense of self, and an understanding of your personal values. Ronaldo's winning mindset and unmatched confidence are possible because he has a clear vision of who he wants to be, and where he wants to go. He is dedicated to self-improvement and has an insatiable will to continue to win.
Ronaldo is someone that people — and young footballers, in particular — are eager to learn from. And he's never been shy about sharing his approach to the game.
Here are 7 Ronaldo quotes that are worthy of being put on a locker room wall.
"I want to consistently play well and win titles. I'm only at the beginning."
"Talent isn't everything. You can have it from the cradle, but it is necessary to learn the trade to be the best."
"If we can't help our family, who are we going to help?"
"I don't mind people hating me, because it pushes me."
"I would be very proud if, one day, I'm held in the same esteem as George Best or Beckham. It's what I'm working hard towards."
"I prefer other people to make judgments about the way I play and to characterize me, rather me describe myself."
"I don't have to show anything to anyone. There is nothing to prove."

Each person has his or her own idea what spirituality means and what it encompasses. Generally, though, you can say that spirituality is getting that connection from something above and beyond the human person and their being human. The quest for life's meaning is what spirituality covers most of the time. Simply put, spirituality is and will always be part of the lives of people in one way or another. For some people, a spiritual experience is akin to be metaphysical and sacred. Meanwhile, some people expect the spiritual experience to be one that gives a deeper sense of interconnectedness and aliveness.
Detox facilities are the places where detoxification programs are provided with either for alcohol or other substance abuse. Since most of these centres are nowadays operating across the world, it is crucial that you choose the right one. It, therefore, becomes the most important decision for you to make. With the many alternatives available, making this decision can be quite challenging.
Most of the time, it is the loved ones who make the selection since the addict may not be capable of choosing the right facility. However, it is good to know that these detoxification facilities never offer the same cost and quality when it comes to the treatment programs. For this reason, you should have in mind during the selection process so that you find a detox centre that is most suitable for the addict.

That means that it might be hard to find the right motorcycle trailer for you, to ensure that you do your homework effectively. There are different kinds of motorcycle trailers available. The enclosed motorcycle trailer has more benefits compared to the open motorcycle trailer.
To choose the best influencer marketing is work that should be taken seriously so that you can locate the right one. It is imperative to choose the most appropriate influencer marketing that you can incorporate the services they provide and in so doing you need to adhere to some critical aspects.

However, it is significant to be aware of the scammers in the market, and it is crucial that you completely avoid them. It is therefore significant important to incorporate the influencers because they have lots of benefits as outlined below.

Bridge Island / Chimney Island National Historic Site of Canada
Chimney Island, Ontario, Canada
Bridge Island / Chimney Island
Île-Bridge / Île-Chimney
Bridge Island / Chimney Island National Historic Site of Canada is located on Chimney Island in the St. Lawrence River, about 20 kilometres upriver from Brockville, Ontario. This island was the site of a fortified British garrison during the War of 1812, which protected the supply line to Lower Canada and provided a meeting point for British ships. In 1980, the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada erected a plaque on the island to commemorate the site. Official recognition refers to the island as it was found at the time of designation.
Bridge Island / Chimney Island was designated a national historic site of Canada in 1936 because:
- it was fortified and garrisoned in 1814 for the protection of the vital line of supply by water from Lower Canada and provided a rendezvous for boats engaged in that service during the War of 1812-14.
During the War of 1812, the St. Lawrence River was the lifeline of Upper Canada along which virtually all military and civilian supplies were transported from Montreal to Kingston. Fear that the Americans might attempt to block the passage of material prompted the fortification of Bridge Island / Chimney Island as a shelter for the "supply bateaux" and a base for British gunboats. A blockhouse was completed early in 1814 and a circular battery with an 18-pounder constructed. These defence works were maintained by a detachment of the 57th Regiment and artillerymen during 1814, but fell into disrepair soon after the war.
Sources: Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, Minutes, 1936; Plaque Text, 1980.
Key elements contributing to the heritage value of the site include:
- its location about 20 kilometres upriver from Brockville, Ontario;
- its siting on a treed rocky island within the St. Lawrence River, in close proximity to the shore;
- the relationship of the site with the St. Lawrence River and its adjacent landscape;
- any surface, subsurface or underwater archaeological resources relating to the fortifications erected on the island in their original placement and extent, including remains of the blockhouse and circular battery;
- the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada plaque, located at the centre of the island;
- viewscapes from the site down the St. Lawrence River and northwest towards the shore.

Papel Prensa is the first national company exclusively engaged in the production of newsprint. Located in San Pedro, Province of Buenos Aires, the company is a joint venture of the newspapers Clarín and La Nación, with a minority interest held by the National Government, in accordance with the bidding rules of 1972.
Equipped with top-notch technology, Papel Prensa's plant produces newsprint to supply the vast majority of Argentine newspapers. When it began operating in 1978, it substituted imports of nearly USD 90 M annually.
With an original productive system, patented in Argentina, which uses short fiber pulp (poplar and willow), Papel Prensa has produced more than 3,500,000 tons of paper over its 33 years of history, with a level comparable to the most demanding worldwide markets.
The growing demands of the newsprint market and the development of new technologies oblige Papel Prensa S.A. to carry out an ongoing investment plan to streamline the quality of its product and increase production, while preserving the environment.
Papel Prensa S.A.'s industrial plant is located 7 kilometers from the City of San Pedro. The premises extend over 150 hectares, with buildings and facilities covering a total surface of 40,000 square meters. The main building, where the newsprint producing machine is located, is 250 meters long and its structure required approximately 20,000 tons of reinforced concrete.
Papel Prensa's production supplies more than 170 clients and accounts for 75% of the newsprint used by Argentine newspapers. Papel Prensa has been involved in the publishing of more than 15 billion copies throughout its track record. The last technology upgrading efforts allow for producing approximately 170,000 tons of newsprint per year, which are produced with 141,000 tons of chemimechanical pulp and 15,000 tons of recycled paper pulp originally produced at the plant.

ORION, Bataan – Asian Dragon International Impex Inc., a company based in Subic Bay Freeport, has extended help on Friday to more than 1,000 families victimized by fire in Barangay Capunitan, this town.
Personally led by the company's Chairman and CEO Mike Sullivan with the employees, victims were given relief goods, hygiene kits, and clean water. Fire victims were also fed that night at the covered court of Bataan School of Fisheries in Barangay Lusungan here.
Rotary Club of Metro Olongapo headed by its Chairman and past president Michelle Canlas joined in helping the victims.
Sullivan, accompanied by some company employees, went to ground zero to see for himself the debris of more or less 800 houses gutted by fire.
"They really need help. Let us see what we can still do for them", he told his team as he walked over black ashes.
Asian Dragon is engaged in warehousing, transshipment, importation, export, and trading.
On the other hand, tapped by the Rotary Club, GAMAGen Services provided magician for free to entertain victims.
"This is our way to help fire victims especially the kids who were traumatized", said GAMAGen General Manager Jen Angeles.
Ocampo's Appliance Center, meanwhile, provided a singer.


The Mount of Olives is the messianic mountain. When Jesus rode down it on "a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey" (Zechariah 9:9), he was fulfilling Zechariah's prophecy not only by his choice of transport, but also by his choice of location. The tradition was already well established that over this mountain the Messiah would come. Yahweh's feet, the same prophet had said (14:4), "will stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east."
At the center of vision is the Dome of the Rock, commemorating Muhammad's ascent into heaven. It probably stands, we shall see, where the Temple stood. Beyond it, to the north, west and south, spreads a city of 900,000 people. In antiquity Jewish pilgrims, on reaching the top of Olivet and seeing the goal of their journey before them, would sing Psalm 122.
The area including the golden Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque is known in Arabic as the Noble Sanctuary (Haram es-Sharif). Jews and Christians also refer to it as the Temple Mount. In the picture below, beyond al-Aqsa we see the buildings of the Jewish Quarter, behind which lies the Armenian quarter. Beyond the Dome of the Rock is the large gray dome of the Holy Sepulcher, around which huddles the Christian Quarter. The Haram, with the area to its right, is the Muslim quarter.
Before 1850, Jerusalem existed only within what we today call the Old City walls. Standing here, say, in 1849, we would have seen just landscape around those walls, as well as a caravanserai and perhaps the occasional ruin of a church.
Here is a photograph from the opposite angle, taken at a time when al-Aqsa's dome was silver. Note that the Mt. of Olives forms a barrier between Jerusalem and the wilderness.
If you want a closer view from this side, enlarge the photo on the left.
Of the many themes on the Mount of Olives, we pick out several (see the Article Index on this page). From here as nowhere else we can trace the development of ancient Jerusalem. Also, as mentioned, it is the mountain over which - says prophetic tradition - the Messiah will arrive. That tradition stands behind the decision of Jesus to enter Jerusalem over this mountain. He is said to have taught the Lord's Prayer on its peak, and Acts records that from here he ascended. At the mountain's foot is the "place of the olive press" - gat shemanim, Gethsemane. And here we find Jewish cemeteries, ancient and modern.


Firestorm is the latest pokie provided by Quickspin at top AU casinos. This is a five-reel, 25 payline slot machine with an Aztec theme. In this pokie game, players can look forward to dazzling jewel symbols and some fiery golden surprises. Playing this pokie online is easy, and it is optimised for mobile devices.
Before spinning, players will need to set their bet size and activate the paylines. Choose any bet size from 0.25 coins to 100 coins per spin. As always, the spin button is on the right of the pokie, with a smaller auto-spin button next to it. Wins are displayed in the middle of the screen. Once the settings have been locked in, it's time to start spinning!
Firestorm features two Wild symbols, the green wild and the Flaming Mask bonus symbol. In the game, the green Wild can substitute for all symbols, except for the bonus symbol. Landing two bonus symbols will trigger the re-spins feature, and three Flaming Masks will act as a double multiplier. Further bonus symbols can multiply wins up to five times. Bonus symbols only appear on reels two to four.
High-value symbols in Firestorm include the red gem set in gold, the purple gem in gold and the green gem in silver. These symbols can randomly stick on the reels during the re-spins feature.
To be honest, Firestorm is one of Quickspin's best pokies. Still, it is a bit less exciting because of the limited features. On the other hand, there are some higher paying symbols, and the re-spins feature is quite exciting. There's nothing to fault the animation or sounds, but we wish there was a more energetic soundtrack.
Overall, the game is quite fun for a few spins. This is a good pokie for players of any level. For these reasons, we have awarded Firestorm three and a half stars out of a possible five.

Q: Perfect Scrollbar not working with accordion menu I am trying to use the Perfect Scrollbar in collaboration with an accordion slider menu, but its not working as expected. Please check the fiddle here
The scrollbar is getting activated for the first sub-menu, and that too not being displayed on the page load, but I have to scroll in the container first to see the scroll bar.
But the new scrollbar doesn't seem to be updated for the second and third sub-menus.
I am trying to update the PerfectScrollbar function as suggested in here and many other places on internet using ps.update(); Not sure if the function call is properly done here by me or not.

Update:
Got it work, leaving it here, as it may help somebody later.
https://jsfiddle.net/prashu421/egkfxzrt/
      $(document).ready(function() {
        // Store variables
        //var ps = new PerfectScrollbar('.sub-menu');

        const container = document.querySelector('.sub-menu');
        const ps = new PerfectScrollbar(container);

        var accordion_head = $('.accordion > li > a'),
            accordion_body = $('.accordion li > .sub-menu');

        // Open the first tab on load
        accordion_head.first().addClass('active').next().slideDown('normal');

        // Click function
        accordion_head.on('click', function(event) {
            // Disable header links
            ps.update();
            event.preventDefault();

            // Show and hide the tabs on click
            if ($(this).attr('class') != 'active'){
                accordion_body.slideUp('normal');
                $(this).next().stop(true,true).slideToggle('normal');
                accordion_head.removeClass('active');
                $(this).addClass('active');
            }
        });
    });

Appreciate your consideration and help.
Thank you.

A: You're only applying the perfect scrollbar to the first container element. Try using querySelectorAll('.sub-menu') and applying the perfect scrollbar to each container:

$(document).ready(function() {
  const container = document.querySelector('.sub-menu');
  document.querySelectorAll('.sub-menu').forEach(container => {
    new PerfectScrollbar(container);
  });

  const accordion_head = $('.accordion > li > a');
  const accordion_body = $('.accordion li > .sub-menu');

  // Open the first tab on load
  accordion_head.first().addClass('active').next().slideDown('normal');

  // Click function
  accordion_head.on('click', function(event) {
    // Disable header links
    event.preventDefault();

    // Show and hide the tabs on click
    if ($(this).attr('class') != 'active') {
      accordion_body.slideUp('normal');
      $(this).next().stop(true, true).slideToggle('normal');
      accordion_head.removeClass('active');
      $(this).addClass('active');
    }
  });
});

Historically, the more common experience of piano lessons was learning to play "the dots" - in other words, to learn to read fully written-out music that tells the performer exactly what notes to play, when to play them, and what expression and dynamics to use. Most adults today who learnt piano as children would have learnt this way. Repertoire might include classical music or arrangements of contemporary pop / musical theatre songs. There is an enormous body of work in the classical world and there are truly beautiful and breathtaking moments. I once learnt a whole Bach piece (it took several months) because I really loved 1 bar of it. It was magical and worth every minute of practice!
Sometimes students believe they are learning to play contemporary piano, but they are actually playing fully-scored contemporary songs in a classical manner. This can give students many hours of enjoyment and develop their classical skills wonderfully, but it becomes problematic when wanting to accompany a contemporary singer or play in a band, because a fully-scored piano arrangement usually has the melody in the right hand, which is the singer's part and ideally shouldn't be doubled by the piano. If you play the melody line while accompanying a singer, they will usually turn around and tell you not to, because it's their part!
Contemporary piano involves learning to play from a chord chart or lead sheet - the lyrics or melody of a song with chords written above it. Students may play songs in the genres of pop / rock / jazz / worship, and they develop the skills to create their part based on the chords. When you go to a pop/rock etc concert, this is how the band members are playing the songs. It requires an understanding not just of basic chords, but chord extensions like 7ths, 9ths, sus4 and sus2, altered chords, chord substitutions and more. If you want to play jazz, there's a whole extra layer of complexity on top of that. Students also need to develop skills in maintaining a tempo, creating interesting and appropriate rhythms, improvisation, and how to create interest and variation within a song. It's a lot to get your head around initially, as there are more choices to be made than in playing a scored part, but there's a huge amount of fun to be had once you've developed some basic contemporary skills.
Musical theatre is a slightly different scenario again. The "official" piano part for a song is fully-scored, as the entire orchestral accompaniment is fully scored for the show so that it's the same every performance (in saying that, we are increasingly seeing improvisation creep into musical theatre parts). This part is not usually available to the general public but is provided when a show has been licensed. A commercially-available piano arrangement of a musical theatre song is often a "score reduction" - where an arranger has recreated a sense of the entire orchestral arrangement plus melody, into one piano part. Musical theatre piano arrangements are often very difficult and it would require many years of learning to be able to play them exactly as written. The inclusion of the melody line in the right hand also makes the arrangements problematic. For most singers who want to be able to self-accompany, the better option would be to play the song based on the chords that are usually written above the score - in other words, to take a contemporary approach to the music.
Both classical and contemporary approaches have their merits, and the best choice for any given student really depends on what they would like to be able to do in the long term. For a singer, contemporary skills are vital in the long-term as only having classical skills will limit your ability to self-accompany. Ideally, a pianist would develop skills in both classical and contemporary piano, though often there simply isn't enough time for a student to cover both in depth. At SVA we are able to teach both styles, with our piano teachers having achieved a high level of proficiency in both classical and contemporary piano, and we talk with our students to determine what they would like to do.
Exam-wise, AMEB Pianoforte* and AMEB Piano For Leisure are the appropriate choices for classical players, whereas AMEB Rockschool is excellent preparation for students who want to develop skills in note-reading (with contemporary repertoire), as well as the improvisation & ensemble skills relevant to playing in bands and accompanying singers.
* Fun fact: the full name of the instrument we call the piano, is actually "pianoforte". Piano means "soft" in Italian and forte means "loud" - so this esteemed instrument that is seen as a sign of culture and sophistication, is really called the "soft-loud". It was given this name as it was the first keyboard instrument that could produce a range of dynamics, which was incredibly exciting and added a new dimension to keyboard music.

Hairdresser fined £17,000 warned she could face arrest if salon reopens in lockdown again
A number of messages about "The Great Opening" were recently posted on Instagram
A hairdresser who was fined £17,000 for opening during the November lockdown has been told she could be arrested if she reopens before the end of March.
Sinead Quinn, the owner of Quinn Blakey Hairdressing, in Oakenshaw, Bradford, has not paid the fixed penalty notices she was issued with last year for repeatedly breaching lockdown rules.
Kirklees Council has now been granted an injunction forbidding Ms Quinn from opening her salon during the current lockdown.
The salon's Instagram page recently posted a number of messages about "The Great Opening" on January 30.
A copy of the injunction was posted on the page on Friday.
A letter with the injunction, dated January 29, reads: "Kirklees Council have today been to court and have been granted an injunction that forbids you whether by yourself or by instructing or encouraging or permitting any other person from opening the premises known as Quinn Blakey Hairdressing, at Bradford Road, Oakenshaw, Bradford, for the purposes of allowing members of the public to enter the said premises.
"There is a power of arrest attached to this injunction meaning that should you breach this injunction you may be arrested and brought to court.
"The injunction is in place until March 31 2021."
The letter said a further hearing on February 8 will reconsider the application and whether the order should continue.
The injunction was granted at Leeds County Court under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act.
On Saturday, Ms Quinn arrived at the salon in a black Range Rover at around 9.20am and remained in the vehicle for around half an hour before driving away.

She returned shortly before 12pm and entered the building.
Ms Quinn spoke to two police officers through the door before letting them inside and closing the shutters.
All three left the salon a short time later and police later confirmed that Ms Quinn had not breached Covid regulations.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "Police did attend at a hairdressers in Oakenshaw on Saturday. No Covid breaches or any other such matters were disclosed or noted."
In November, magistrates ordered the salon to close until the end of the lockdown after Ms Quinn was observed serving customers on six days while national regulations were in force.
The council said it had now started a prosecution process regarding the salon's unpaid fines for breaching lockdown rules.
A third of police have been threatened with spit from people claiming to have Covid
'This was a blatant breach' Four handed Covid fines after CCTV shows customers fleeing beauty salon whent he police called
Paul Davies, a councillor with Kirklees Council, said: "To date, all of the fixed penalty notices issued to the hairdresser for not complying with lockdown rules remain unpaid.
"These lockdown rules, set by Government, exist to keep people safe by preventing the spread of Covid-19. Blatantly disregarding them in this way was irresponsible.
"With the time given to pay the fines now passed, we have started a prosecution process and are currently putting our case together.
"This process can take some time and could potentially lead to a trial. Punishment could be an unlimited fine, decided by the court.
"In the meantime, we'll continue to monitor the situation and, if further breaches of lockdown rules do occur, we will need to take the same appropriate action, which would be the case for any business.
"I'm also urging people not to visit, or use, any business that is operating in breach of the lockdown rules. If you do, you are putting your own health, and your family's, at risk and you could also be fined too."


Jennifer Link Kieffer here, a Buffalo based fashion, portrait, lifestyle, and wedding photographer and the editor in chief of Auxiliary Magazine. I am the owner of Jennifer Link Photography and a multi skilled creative who excels at art direction and project realization, realizing my vision through photography, design, styling, and writing.
During the completion of my undergraduate thesis I first came upon my main subject of alternative and subculture fashion. Having always had a love for alternative and subculture fashion, lifestyle, and aesthetic; it seemed natural to incorporate this into my artwork. After graduation, I began to focus on fashion and portrait photography, and while my aesthetic began to take on a more honest, clean, and sophisticated sensibility, it remained authentic. In the last couple years, I have expanded my focus to wedding and lifestyle photography, approaching these with the same aesthetic and signature style I approach fashion, beauty, and portrait photography with. I also take a very active role behind the scenes with the styling of my shoots, working closely with fashion stylists, makeup artists, and hair stylists to achieve my aesthetic.
I am available for fashion, beauty, advertising, commercial, editorial, lookbook, portrait, boudoir, pinup, band, lifestyle, event, and wedding photography as well as fashion styling, prop styling, creative direction, and production. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Minor in Art History from Alfred University's School of Art and Design, I am a proud member of ASMP, the American Society of Media Photographers, and I serve on the ASMP WNY Chapter board as Treasurer. My clients include several prominent alternative fashion designers and publications as well as local businesses and awesome creatives, individuals, couples, and families. My primary medium is digital photography, but I also work with traditional film, alternative processes, video, and Super 8 film. My work has been exhibited in New York City, Toronto, and Buffalo.

Today I bring you the work of Jürgen Heckel a sound artist and photographer currently living in Munich. This series of photos entitled LUMEN are mysterious, like a story being told and in the end you will have a "treat". When you look at first photo your perception will tell that you are seeing something mystic, but towards the end you will see that your initial thought was wrong. A work that surprises me and makes me smile.


Robert Means born 1689 married Jeane Armstrong, daughter of James or John Armstrong. Robert Means died Saco Dec 29, 1769 aged 80 years. Jeane died aged 102 years.
"In the autumn of 1718, vessels came from Ireland via Boston to Portland (then Falmouth) Maine (from Drakes History of Boston). They were descendants of a colony [from] Argyllshire in Scotland and settled in the North of Ireland about the middle of the 17th century. They were rigid Presbyterians and fled from Scotland to North of Ireland (Ulster) to avoid persecution of Charles I. Among them was James Armstrong with his sons John, Simon and Thomas and Robert Means who married his daughter. This colony with Rev Wm Mc Gregor at its head left Ireland in 5 vessels containing 120 families and arrived in Boston August 4, 1718 part settled in Maine and part in New Hampshire. "This company of immigrants among other important services rendered to the land of their adoption, introduced the Potatoe plant which had not before been cultivated in the country: Also the Linen spinning wheel, and the manufacture of Linen.
The spinning wheel had not appeared [on] our shores until the advent of these strange people, and it produced quite a sensation in Boston.
Robert and Jeane Armstrong Means.
The little notebook went on and on. I was hooked. I had two weeks to complete the assignment. I began to transcribe the whole notebook for my own copy – or at least most of it – and wrote an essay about my ancestors. I remember counting how many people descended from Robert and Jeane Armstrong in the ensuing two hundred years. Hundreds. I was one of them.
My Great Great Grandparents' Family. Otis and Elsie (Berry) Means.
Sherry. I want to thank you for sharing your family history. I had an Aunt Alice and a grandmother Robbins who wrote to me when I was growing up. I still have some that I saved.
Joanne, Thanks for reading! It's a lot of fun sharing my family history. There is so much of it. I saved most every letter I got growing up and after I left home. Most are from my mother – and Laura Mace Rand. Letters provide a different window on life long ago – and they are becoming more and more rare.

Identifier: M043
Byron E. Cohn (1901-1993) was Professor of Physics and served as Chairman of the Physics Department at the University of Denver, Denver, Colo. His wife, Essie White Cohn (1902-1963) was Professor of Chemistry at the University of Denver from 1942-1963. They received undergraduate and masters degrees from the University of Denver and earned doctorates from the University of Chicago. Byron Cohn was instrumental in founding the Mt. Evans High Altitude Laboratory. Essie Cohn participated in several studies on the effects of high altitude on nutrition. The joint collection of Byron and Essie White Cohn consists of personal information as well as documentation of their long affiliation with the University of Denver. Documentation of their academic careers is included, as are some of their publications. The collection also includes photographs and newspaper clippings that document the Cohns' careers.
Cohn, Byron Emanuel, 1901-1993 (Person)
The University of Denver played an integral part in the lives of Byron Cohn and Essie White Cohn. They met while attending the University in the early 1920s, and both received undergraduate and masters degrees from the University. They married in 1926 while they were working on their Ph.D.'s from the University of Chicago as well as teaching at the University of Denver. Byron Cohn was Chairman of the Physics Department from 1943 until 1962. Essie Cohn was a Professor of Chemistry from 1942 until 1963. They spent almost four decades as professors – he in physics and she in chemistry – at the University. Both as teachers and researchers, the Cohns were committed to the enhancement of the science curriculum at the University.
Byron Cohn was born in Chicago on November 2, 1901. He received a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering in 1923 and a master's degree in 1924 from the University of Denver. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago in 1931. He was first hired by the University of Denver in 1926, as an instructor in physics. During World War II, Cohn was on the staff of the Naval Ordnance Laboratory in Washington, D.C. After the war, he returned to the University of Denver where he was chairman of the Physics Department from 1943 to 1962. He was chairman of the governing board of the Mt. Evans High Altitude Laboratory and was active in its facility at the top of Mt. Evans. He was involved in research on cosmic rays, and hosted an international conference on cosmic rays in 1949 at Echo Lake, near Mt. Evans, which brought together 150 of the world's top physicists.
Byron Cohn was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, Sigma Pi Sigma, and Phi Lambda Upsilon honorary societies, among others. He is listed in American Men of Science and Who's Who in America. He served as president of the Colorado-Wyoming Academy of Science and was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and authored a number of papers in the area of physics.
After Essie White Cohn's death in 1963, he remained in his professorship at the University of Denver. In 1970, he retired with Professor Emeritus status. Cohn married Margaret W. Carney in 1968. He died December 30, 1993, survived by his wife and two stepsons.
Essie White Cohn was born March 23, 1902, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her family moved to Denver when she was a girl, and she received her preliminary education in the Denver Public Schools. She received an A.B. in 1922 and an M.A. in 1923 from the University of Denver. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1936. She became an instructor in chemistry at the University of Denver in 1923, and was named assistant professor in 1931. Essie Cohn used the High Altitude Laboratory to conduct experiments on the effects of altitude on biochemical processes. During 1941 she was visiting professor of biochemistry at George Washington University School of Medicine. She returned to the University of Denver as professor of chemistry in 1942, a position she retained for the rest of her life. She was named University of Denver outstanding faculty woman for 1955, was elected university lecturer for 1961-1962, and was presented with the Distinguished Alumni Service Award in 1961.
Essie Cohn wrote numerous articles about her research. She served as editor of the Abstract Journal of the Colorado-Wyoming Academy of Science for three years, and was editor of The Iotan, the journal of Iota Sigma Pi, the honorary chemical society for women. She was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and served as its first women vice president. She was a member of the American Chemical Society and several other academic and honorary societies. The Business and Professional Women's Club of Denver named her Woman of the Year in 1961. Essie White Cohn died March 3, 1963, and was survived by her husband, her mother and two brothers.

I am writing to express and convey the heartfelt gratitude that each and every one of the over 600 Sailors experienced when we received your package of Girl Scout cookies. Many of our Sailors are on their very first deployment, and most of the rest are on their second consecutive tour in Afghanistan. It means so much to them to receive these packages from home.
They are learning quickly that many of little things from the United States that they took for granted are the very things that make our country the best place in the world to live and work.

This position is only open to candidates based in Metro Manila.
Sigrid.AI is a start-up offering high-end executive assistant services, staffed by humans and powered by artificial intelligence and 'state of the art' technology.
