This year and I signed a long-term travel photography contract with Cape Town Tourism, the official tourism board in my favorite city in Africa. Meanwhile, I've sold tens of thousands of image licenses through multiple agencies over the years, host local workshops and photowalks in the cities I visit, and I'm constantly working on partnership and sponsorship deals behind-the-scenes. Even my travel photography website works hard for me, as I often get offers and inquiries directly from visitors.
You have provided a great deal of information on a subject I am really interested in. I will be researching the websites on this list. I have started my own website at http://www.davidhintzphotography.com, I have sold some of my photos on microstock websites and now looking to sell directly from my own website. Thanks for all your work on this topic. I would be interested in your comments on my site if you had the time to look at it.
My personal opinion -after having met many such characters- in India; either in Varanasi, Rishikesh, Vrindavan et al, as well as at the Kumbh Mela, is that the majority of them are fake in the sense that they're not dedicated ascetics, but individuals who are adopted a vagabondage lifestyle, begging for alms and food...under the guise of being holy and religious.
In contrast with most of my peers, I seldom use Photoshop and have never used Lightroom. However, I rely on three post-processing/editing apps as my tools of choice...these are Color Efex Pro (originally of Google and now part of DxO Software, Iridient Developer (the raw image format processing software for macOS, and well known for its ability to process Fujifilm X-Trans raw files), and lastly ON1 Photo Raw ( a raw processor, photo editor and plug-in collection all in one).
One of the facets of my photography is the one that involves fashion, travel, tradition, culture, history and last but certainly not least, storytelling. Despite searching for similar work on the internet, I wasn't able to find an equivalent for such a production. Sure, there are many extremely talented photographers who specialize in awesome fashion and glamour imagery, and some who even go to striking artistry with fantastical extremes in makeup and elaborate backgrounds (such as the well known Japanese photographer Haseo, as an example).
My still-embryonic idea is to enlist the help of a local acquaintance who would wear a cheongsam (aka qi pao), and take the role of a sing-song girl. The photo shoot would take place in the streets of Yau Ma Tei, and in the parlor itself. Whether the parlor would allow it or not is an open question that will be answered when I'm there. The owners and clients seemed very laid back when I made these photographs.
"Back when we started Wanderlust, we would invite photographers in with their portfolios. Nowadays, although we do commission some work, we increasingly use online stock libraries to find images for this website and for our magazines. On the one hand, they libraries have a wide range and make it very easy to search. On the other hand, we can find ourselves wading through pages of very average shots that don't offer anything different or fresh. And, so often we struggle to find what we need due to poor tagging by the photographers."
All the photographs in this gallery were made using the Fuji X-Pro2 and the Fujinon 18mm 2.0 pancake lens. Since I keep camera dangling from my neck as I click the shutter, the lens aperture ring occasionally slips, so I have a small piece of gaffer tape keeping it at 2.8 or 4.0 at all times. I also keep the iso at 640 most of the time. The photographs were processed with Silver Efex; my favorite monochrome software.
The deeper you travel into distant lands and cultures, the more varied the people you'll encounter. It can be fun and intriguing to meet people of vastly different cultures. It can also be alienating and even dangerous. I've seen women treated poorly, child labourers hard at work, and helpless animals suffering in the streets. Tolerance for other cultures is necessary to access these places and document the realities within them. Our job as photographers is to observe, with the hope that our images may influence positive social change.
The Yuen Po street Bird Garden in Hong Kong was built in the late 1990's after the former "Bird Street" at Hong Lok Street was demolished. It was built to preserve the spirit and popularity of the bird stalls that once were in Mongkok. The Chinese have traditionally liked to keep birds as pets, and this tradition is maintained in this small garden. Men (I've not seen a woman there except those selling birds, birdseed and live crickets) walk around; whistling at the caged birds, from delicate canaries to colorful parrots, admiring their plumage and a few walking their pets in cages.
Chinese opera has a long, rich history that dates back to 200 A.D. Over the centuries, a handful of styles of opera emerged — each with its own distinct makeup, music, and acting traditions — reflecting the eras and tastes of the changing dynasties. Sichuan opera is the youngest style, emerging around 1700 in Chengdu, Sichuan province, where it is still performed today by a dwindling roster of troupes.
The third image is of Jinru Lee; a student and part-time model in Georgetown (Penang Island, Malaysia). It was made in late August 2018 under the sweltering sun of Penang, and inside the Cheah Kongsi Clan House Temple on Lebuh Armenian. I was in Penang to photograph the various Hokkien operas during the Hungry Ghost festival, and took the opportunity to set a photo shoot in its streets for a forthcoming audio slideshow (aka photo film) titled "The Phantom of the Opera".
In March 2018, I traveled to Shanghai to give a lecture and a street workshop at Imaging Group, and recall doing some location scouting in Laoximen with Tamia Tang (my assistant). We met an elderly resident who had lived in her small rooms virtually all her life, and had been told that she would have to vacate them soon. She claimed satisfaction that the city would be offering residents alternative housing or monetary compensation as the weather in Shanghai was too cold for her.
In the late 16th century it became fashionable for young European aristocrats and wealthy upper class men to travel to significant European cities as part of their education in the arts and literature. This was known as the Grand Tour, it included cities such as London, Paris, Venice, Florence and Rome. However, The French revolution brought with it the end of the Grand Tour.[7]
Travel dates back to antiquity where wealthy Greeks and Romans would travel for leisure to their summer homes and villas in cities such as Pompeii and Baiae.[7] While early travel tended to be slower, more dangerous, and more dominated by trade and migration, cultural and technological advances over many years have tended to mean that travel has become easier and more accessible.[8] Mankind has come a long way in transportation since Christopher Columbus sailed to the new world from Spain in 1492, an expedition which took over 10 weeks to arrive at the final destination; to the 21st century where aircraft allow travel from Spain to the United States overnight.

To be honest, I do not think I will ever make it as a travel photographer. I love travelling and I love capturing my adventures in pictures. And I know that I have some decent ones, but selling them seems like a daunting task. I think I might be better off as a travel journalist, to be honest, if only because that's an area where I am more confident (and in a way, this article applies to becoming a travel journalist as well). I have, however, tried selling pictures through microstock sites. Getty Images, Shutterstock and Adobe Stock are the ones I have uploaded the highest number of images to. From my experience, these websites require you to spend a long time creating hashtags and correctly labeling your photos for very little reward. It is great because once the work is done, you can earn money forever. But chances are high that you will only get a few cents, if any at all. I think if you are serious about being a photographer, this one is not an option to consider.
The Beijing style of opera, widely known as Peking Opera, was popularized under the Qing Dynasty, which was brought down by the Chinese Revolution of 1911. It had ample support from the court and spread because it was sung in a language widely understood across China, while regional varieties such as Cantonese, Shanghainese and Sichuanese opera stuck to their own dialects and songs.
However I didn't realize that he had done lovely work documenting a rural Chinese opera troupe in Sichuan featured on the International Business Times..thus providing me with valuable inspiration for my own long term book project involving Chinese opera of the Diaspora. My primary focus in this project is on the "rural" or provincial troupes who perform their art during Chinese celebrations and religious observances.
The setting for the photo shoot which resulted in the slideshow was the beautiful Lin Ben Yuan Family Mansion and Garden (林本源園邸) in the Banqiao District, Taipei. It was a residence built by the Lin Ben Yuan Family, and is the country's most complete surviving example of traditional Chinese garden architecture. It can be traced back to 1847 when it was built for storing of rice crop whose location was more convenient for the increasingly wealthy Lin Ben Yuan family. A few years later, it became the family's main residence.

I was eagerly planning to revisit some of the neighborhoods with lòngtáng on my forthcoming trip to Shanghai and add to my inventory of candid photography, but was disappointed to read that large areas of Laoximen; one of the most well known of these neighborhoods, are being demolished by the city's government in the name of modernizing the area and raising living standards.
Unfortunately, due the language barriers I wasn't able to interview either of these two actors to gain an insight on their lives and background. They also seemed reluctant to allow me more than a few minutes to photograph them, either because they were waiting to perform (as in the top photograph) or just uncomfortable with the the attention of a stalking photographer (lower photograph).
Some of these 'singalong' parlors still exist, faded and tired but otherwise unchanged, offering a taste of popular and cheap entertainment from a past era. How these survive in anyone's guess. The parlors usually have an organist (who can also play a guitar) and a handful of habitual customers who sing Cantonese songs...and occasionally Western oldies such as "Sealed With A Kiss" by the Canton Singing House organist.

A Guest Blog: NPPF – mineral exploration and extraction
Underground Coal Gasification
209(a) The NPPF does not refer directly to Underground Coal Gasification although it could be considered in this section. UCG is a chemical process that converts in-situ and unmined coal into gas. These gases (predominantly methane, carbon monoxide) are drawn up to the surface well-head where further processing is required. There are widespread concerns over the environmental effects of this type of energy recovery and as a result the removal of support from all UK government support. It is therefore unlikely that there will be any
Coal Mining Coal is referred to in the new NPPF in two apparently differing contexts:
209(d) where the Minerals Planning Authority should "indicate any areas where coal extraction and the disposal of colliery spoil may be acceptable," and
211 Where "permission should not be given for the extraction of coal unless the proposal is environmentally acceptable, or can be made so by planning conditions or obligations; or if not, it provides national, local or community benefits which clearly outweigh the likely impacts to justify the grant of planning permission."
At first glance these two policies seem to be mutually exclusive, however, when taken together with
209(c) "encourage underground gas and carbon storage and associated infrastructure if local geological circumstances indicate its feasibility" we see a different outcome. So, although there is a presumption against granting planning permission the policy provides a route map as to how this might be achieved.
The mining of coal and its use to provide energy should not be discounted, particularly in the short to medium term where the UK is unable to meet its energy demands from renewables and instead has to be reliant upon imported gas supplies. If coal can be burned and the waste gases created can be safely stored in suitable strata below ground (which policy 211 refers to) then there is a case to continue to use coal as an energy source.
Although coal mining in the UK has declined in recent years it still takes place and will continue to do so from existing sites and new ones where permitted.
Commenting specifically on:
209(d) indicate any areas where coal extraction and the disposal of colliery spoil may be acceptable;
Coal is traditionally extracted by either underground mining or by quarrying from the surface. Colliery spoil is the by product of the former activity. Before coal can be mined planning permission is required and a license has to be obtained form the Coal Authority.
While underground mining has some direct environmental consequences, they are limited in occurrence and extent. The main impact is caused indirectly by subsidence at the surface which in itself can have environmental consequences.
Surface mining and tipping has a more obvious and direct environmental effect.
209(e) encourage the capture and use of methane from coal mines in active and abandoned coalfield areas
The impact of methane extraction from abandoned coal mines is limited in extent and usually to the area around the well head. The well head can either be located at the existing mine entry (shaft or adit) or if this is unsuitable, a borehole sunk to the workings from the surface.
In addition to planning consent it is necessary to have a licence from the Oil and Gas Authority and permission from the Coal Authority.
209(f) provide for coal producers to extract separately, and if necessary stockpile, fireclay so that it remains available for use.
Fireclay is usually located immediately below a coal seam and therefore can be considered to be a bi-product of coal mining. Where it can be mined alongside coal it may become economical to exploit. Given its close association with coal the comment made under 209(d) apply here.
Conveyancers already have a duty to obtain a coal mining report for property purchases in affected areas.
When provided under the Law Society scheme these reports disclose:
where applications have been made to the Coal Authority to mine coal and in the case of extant licences granted for underground mining, whether the mine operator has made actual plans to mine the coal in the vicinity of the property. Subsidence from these proposed workings can be predicted or discounted.
Where opencast coal mines exist or are planned
where underground coal mining has taken place in the past and where other risk features associated with coal mining are present.
Going beyond this, regulated providers such as PinPoint supply the above information together with details of the wider activities associated with coal and other types of mining.

Will gold rise this year?
"It's the nail in the coffin for gold," said Howie Lee, an investment analyst at Phillip Futures, noting it fell despite increasing tensions over Greece. "It's increasingly likely [the Federal Reserve] will hike in June. Prospects of higher interest rates have proved to be a catalyst for gold's downfall."
The drop followed data showing U.S. non-farm payrolls rose by 257,000 jobs in January, beating expectations for around 234,000 and totting up to more than a million jobs over the past three months. That boosts the chances the Fed will raise rates sometime this year, and higher yields make gold's potential returns look less attractive.
"In the short term, we should see gold prices fall further," Lee said, noting even the seasonal Lunar New Year rally should have already run its course. While gold may occasionally rally, absent any major geopolitical tensions, he expects a downtrend into the year-end.
Lee isn't alone in expecting gold will struggle.
"People are just looking for a return on their capital. Obviously, you can't get that from gold. It's just a store of value," Chris Weston, chief market strategist at IG, said. "Potential valuations in the bond market are at better levels."
The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 1.94 percent on Friday from 1.81 percent prior to the jobs data. In Asian trade Monday, the yield was trading around 1.92 percent.
Weston also expects news on the U.S. economy will be the driving force for gold ahead, but he's checking the charts, saying the latest drop could mark a trend change. If the yellow metal trades below $1,217 an ounce, Weston will turn more bearish.
To be sure, not everyone expects a Fed rate hike would tarnish gold's outlook.
Read MoreIs this the start of a gold bull market?
"Whatever theory might say, swings in the U.S. interest rate cycle rarely have much impact on the price of gold in practice," said Julian Jessop, head of commodities research at Capital Economics, in a note Friday. He noted that gold prices barely moved in the early 2000s when rates were cut and rallied during the mid-2000s' tightening.
"If Fed tightening is only gradual and interest rates remain low, there would be plenty of scope for other factors to re-emerge as the key drivers of the gold price," he said, citing the prospects for further monetary easing in Europe and Japan and the potential for higher gold demand in emerging markets such as China and India.
Jessop is sticking with a year-end gold forecast of $1,400 an ounce.


..... Click the link for more information. . It is one tenth of a bel (named for A. G. Bell), but the larger unit is rarely used. The decibel is a measure of sound intensity as a function of power ratio, with the difference in decibels between two sounds being given by dB=10 log10(P1/P2), where P1 and P2 are the power levels of the two sounds. The faintest audible sound, corresponding to a sound pressure of about 0.0002 dyne per sq cm, is arbitrarily assigned a value of 0 dB. The loudest sounds that can be tolerated by the human ear are about 120 dB. The level of normal conversation is about 50 to 60 dB. The decibel is also used to measure certain other quantities, such as power loss in telephone lines.
A logarithmic unit used to express the magnitude of a change in level of power, voltage, current, or sound intensity. A decibel (dB) is 1/10 bel.
In acoustics a step of 1 bel is too large for most uses. It is therefore the practice to express sound intensity in decibels. The level of a sound of intensity I in decibels relative to a reference intensity IR is given by notation (1).
Because sound intensity is proportional to the square of sound pressure P, the level in decibels is given by Eq. (2).
The neper is similar to the decibel but is based upon natural (napierian) logarithms. One neper is equal to 8.686 dB.
a fractional unit of the bel (a unit of relative logarithmic value—the common logarithm of the ratio of two synonymous physical quantities, such as energy, power, or sound pressure). The decibel is equal to 0.1 bel. Symbols: Russian, db; international, dB. In practice the decibel is more often used than the bel, the basic unit.
A unit for describing the ratio of two powers or intensities, or the ratio of a power to a reference power; in the measurement of sound intensity, the pressure of the reference sound is usually taken as 2 × 10-4 dyne per square centimeter; equal to one-tenth bel; if P1 and P2 are two amounts of power, the first is said to be n decibels greater, where n = 10 log10(P1/ P2). Abbreviated dB.
The unit in which the level, 4 of various acoustical quantities is expressed.
A unit of measurement of the loudness or strength of a signal. One deciBel is considered the smallest difference in sound level that the human ear can discern. Created in the early days of telephony as a way to measure cable and equipment performance and named after Alexander Graham Bell, deciBels (dBs) are a relative measurement derived from two signal levels: a reference input level and an observed output level. A deciBel is the logarithm of the ratio of the two levels. One Bel is when the output signal is 10x that of the input, and one deciBel is 1/10th of a Bel.
A whisper is about 20 dB. A normal conversation is typically from 60 to 70 dB, and a noisy factory from 90 to 100 dB. Loud thunder is approximately 110 dB, and 120 dB borders on the threshold of pain. See dBm.
Quite a lot was named after Alexander Graham Bell. Throughout the 20th century, the Bell name was ubiquitous. It will live on with the deciBel.
7 decibels, four decibels higher than Chelsea and two higher than the then world record for the 'Loudest Stadium Roar', held by the Denver Broncos.
This is Seb Clarke in full swing at the Godiva Festival, but reader P Anslow wonders if the audience needed the decibel level to be quite so high.
The quietest sounds that can be heard are 25 to 39 decibels.
The Swedish civil aviation authority will have to provide additional insulation from the noise created by Karlstad's Mellerudstorp airport in houses where the indoor noise exceeds 70 decibels three times or more every night.
These signals, which would cover vast tracts of ocean, are to be produced at 230 decibels (dB), well above the noise level of a jet engine (120 dB).
The decibel has nothing to do with noise and acoustics," argues Fleischer.
HELIAX, Decibel, and ValuLine are registered trademarks of Andrew Corporation.
At the concert the teens attended for the House Research Institute study, researchers with them took an average of nine decibel readings every minute during the performance.
Noise - it's all around us WE live in noisy times, but to find out just how noisy I took the following readings with a decibel meter while going about my everyday business.
The charity used decibel meters to test the volume of 110 young people's MP3 players in Birmingham, Brighton and Manchester and and found that 72 were listening at above 85 decibels.
Indeed, the decibel level at which they claim the ears can begin to suffer pain is 125 - which is roughly equivalent to standing four feet from apneumatic drill.
CV One's head of events Mick Emerson said: "In consideration of nearby residents CV One has voluntarily agreed to a set of decibel limits as a condition of the licence.
Don't shout it too loud, but Godiva Festival gets go-ahead; LIVE MUSIC: Open-air event gets licence ... though bands will have to keep noise down!


It's a funny thing, sharing a living space with another person. Whether it's a freshman year roommate or a significant other, you're bound to learn the most minute and bizarre details about each other. When it comes to bedtime rituals, that also includes what they wear to sleep, for which the standards seem to have hit a ubiquitous low. When did the go-to become a ratty university-logoed tee and a pair of basketball shorts? I personally remember the raised eyebrow my suitemate sent my way when I plopped on the musty couch of our four-person dorm room wearing a matching set of satin shorts and a short-sleeved button-up top. "Is that what you're wearing to sleep?" she asked, clad in a pair of linty gray sweats. Why yes, yes I was, and yes, I still do.
The Spring '16 runways were no stranger to pajama dressing, with Alexander Wang's silky renditions and Thakoon's clean and crisp inspired versions proving a strong case for embracing comfort. (Mr. Panichgul even went so far as to throw in a robe or two, for good measure.) If the look has become stylish enough to hit the streets, then it's surely more than reasonable enough to upgrade what you wear between the sheets. After all, what could feel or look more elegant than a classically pinstriped sateen set, or a playful leopard-spotted pair—even if nobody but you gets to see it? And what better way to nix that nasty habit of late-night emailing or Instagram diving than by slipping on a satin eye mask and ensuring no more interruptions? Pull on a pair of cashmere socks and slippers for a final touch, and you just might never get out of bed again.


All-cotton tee with a timeless, sport-inspired look.
Straightforward sporty style inspires this comfy t-shirt. Iconic, contrast 3-Stripes and a small embroidered Trefoil logo create an authentic look. This long-sleeve tee is made of an all-cotton single jersey fabric for an extra soft feel.

Schinderhannes bartelsi je živočich ze skupiny anomalokarid. Je znám pouze jeden exemplář z naleziště devonského stáří Hunsrück v Německu a ten byl nalezen v roce 2009. Jeho objev měl obrovský význam, protože předtím byli anomalokarididi známí pouze z výjimečně dobře zachovaných fosilních ložisek (tzv. Lagerstätten) z kambria. Žádné novější nálezy anomalokarid nebyly od kambria natolik časově posunuty, například nalezené v roce 2011 anomalokaridy z formace Fezouata (Maroko) odpovídají jen spodnímu ordoviku.

Anomalokarididy, jako např. Anomalocaris, byly organismy, které se považují za příbuzné členovcům. Tito živočichové vypadali jinak než jakékoliv dnes žijící organismy - měli segmentovanou vnější kostru s bočními laloky pro plavání, velké složené oči, často přisedlé na stopkách a na konci "hlavy" dvojici velkých přívěsků podobných ocasům krevet. Těmito přívěsky neboli chapadly si podávali kořist k ústům, které měly tvar kruhu.

Objev
Jediný nalezený vzorek (který zároveň je i holotyp) byl objeven v lomu Eschenbach-Bocksberg v Bundenbachu a je pojmenován podle Schinderhannese, známého německého zločince a hrdiny místního folkloru. Druhové jméno bartelsi je dáno podle Kryštofa Bartelse, odborníka na Hunsrücké břidlice. Vzorek se nachází v Naturhistorisches Museum v Mohuči.

Morfologie
Schinderhannes je asi 10 cm dlouhý. Jako všichni anomalokaridy Schinderhannes nese pár přívěsků (tzv. great appendages) které jsou velice podobné jako měla Hurdia, ústa ve tvaru ananasového kolečka (podobné těm, co měla Peytoia) a velké, složité oči na stopkách. Živočich měl 12 tělních segmentů; velké podobné klapkám struktury vyčnívající z jedenáctého segmentu a větší klapkopodobné struktury na zadní části hlavy.

Ekologie
Zachovaný obsah trávicího traktu je typický pro dravé živočichy, a na tento způsob života ukazuje také stavba "ústních ústrojí" a velikost a orientace očí Schinderhannes byl schopen plavání, poháněl se klapkopodobnými "ploutvemi" na zadní části hlavy a řídil směr svého pohybu pomoci "ploutviček" na jedenáctém segmentu.

Význam
Objevení organismu bylo mimořádně důležité protože se značně posunula časová hranice vymírání anomalokarid: v době objevení (2009) skupina byla známa pouze z kambria. Další nekambrické anomalokaridy odpovídají spodnímu ordoviku (před 488–472 mil. let) – formace Fezouata na jihovýchodě Maroka, ale ty byly objeveny jen v roce 2011.

We've all been sick. Not anything crazy, just the winter crud. But we've all been a bit cranky, stuffy, and lazy.
There was a little heat wave yesterday and so when I got home from work, I took the girls (Shea and Lily, the dog) out to play. Shea ended up sitting in wet, melting snow and Lily ended up knocking her over, hard, in pursuit of a tennis ball. Needless to say, our time in the sun was cut short by tears, snot, and wet clothes.
Mr. Prevention called a few minutes later, around 5pm, saying he was heading to his boss' farewell get together for just a bit. Since he hasn't even seen Shea this week due to his long hours, I was not only surprised to hear from him so early, but offered to make the Buffalo Chicken Lasagna (clocked in at 1 hour and 40 minutes of preparation time) he had requested for the Weekly Menu, thinking he would be home in an hour or so to help manage Shea during her witching hour while I cooked.
Wrong. Here was our text conversation.
5:41pm (husband): Going to do one more (beer) if that's cool. Home in 30ish.
5:41pm (me): Whatever. Just cleaning up Lily's (dog) puke.
5:51pm (husband): Yuck. On carpet or wood?
6:23pm (husband): I'm still socializing. Do you need me home asap or 30 mins more is ok?
6:23pm (me): Dinner is ready at 7:15pm. I can just eat without you.
6:23pm (me): You ate all the Teddy Grahams?
7:02pm (husband): Yes. I scarfed them all on Sunday on Monday. Binge Teddy Graham moment.
That last text almost woke up Shea who I had JUST laid in her crib, as well. I was livid. But I was mostly mad at myself by that point for not just saying, "Yeah, I'd really appreciate you dealing with Shea while I make this labor intensive meal you requested." Maybe I'd have tried to phrase it more kindly, but probably not. It's one of my biggest flaws – waiting too long to ask for help and then BLOWING UP at Mark.
Oh, and the Teddy Grahams were going to be used as a little distraction for me to assemble the lasagna. But, no dice.
Baby was in bed asleep. The dog was fed and the puke from while we were away at work (gross) was cleaned up. The dishwasher was unloaded, reloaded, and running…again. The baby was fed and occupied by me (or on my hip) the entire 2 hours between his first call at 5pm and her bedtime at 7pm. And, a hot, delicious, homemade Buffalo Chicken Lasagna was being pulled out of the oven.
The meal was very good and I kept my cool. I'll be forwarding him this post for his enjoyment.
Guess who will be on bath and bedtime duty tonight? Not this girl!
Oh and the moment the last Teddy Graham was inhaled should've been a cue to get thee to the store for immediate replacement. You don't mess with baby's distraction, yo!
Hahaha, my husband knows that "whatever" means I'm not happy! And he is guilty of using "whatever," as well. I'm trying to be better about it.
I had my friends kids over in December so I bought chocolate teddy grahams for them, and they declared they didn't like the chocolate ones – what the what?! The are so flipping good!
I once worked with an attorney who had one child, a wife who stayed home AND had a nanny and housekeeper and he came in one day saying he was so tired because being a "Dad" was tough.
Enjoy your day off with Shea!
Humans still haven't developed any useful ability to read minds. Why on earth do we still attempt to express our needs in "code" and expect the perfect operational response?

What is polymer modified bitumen properties suitable for?
Among the variety of thermoplastic polymers, polymer waterproofing water insulation manufacturers to modify the properties of bitumen used because these polymers have the potential to be forming again. The most important thermoplastics polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride are. Polyethylene can refine bitumen softening point and penetration bitumen blown in place and some of the moisture needed for insulation.
Mixture of bitumen and bitumen mixture and Ataktyk olefins such as polypropylene, thermoplastic rubber asphalt mixture behaves differently than the show itself. Ataktyk amorphous nature of its poor rubber, polypropylene and property caused high softening point and excellent resistance to the flow of the mixture. This mixture is good flexibility also at low temperatures. In general, by increasing the composition of polypropylene Ataktyk bitumen properties are improved. However, the correct choice of materials used in the manufacture of compound values is also important from an economic standpoint and also minimize future problems can be insulated.
More polymer can be easily and quickly in bitumen at high temperatures brought by a conventional mixer. If the polymer increases the viscosity of the bitumen used to be more sophisticated tool used for the mixing of bitumen and polymer. If you used several different polymers with low melting point polymer in bitumen must first be added to the mixer for materials with higher melting points are more liquid than that.

Day 17: A Month of Gratitude, "In Memoriam"
Life is beautiful and unpredictable. Life is short for all of us, shorter for some. Who do you know that is already in heaven? Make a list of loved ones that have crossed from this life to the next. How grateful are you for another day of life here on the earth? What will it be like to be welcomed into paradise by your heavenly father and your spiritual family?
In what ways did these special people touch your life? How does it make you feel knowing they've gone ahead of you and have received the gift of eternal life? What do you miss about them?
My friends Chip Stone, Zack Hill and Dan Rice come to mind immediately and then the list grows from there.
Chip (pictured here having an early morning quiet time in his dorm room) was an unforgettable personality in our campus ministry at University of Nebraska.
Zack (pictured with close friend, Andy Winje, to the right) was on the mission team from Denver that started the Lincoln Church. He served as a great support to me when I was leading there.
Dan is a kindred spirit and life-long companion to me. I miss them, honor them and those like them who were faithful unto death. One day we will all walk among them in perfect joy.

So because I was feeling rather attached to Tolkien yesterday, I figured I'd continue on with what I was writing in Trying Out Tolkien.
Description: The apprentice returns from his assassination, only to have yet another task thrust upon him, this one assuring his almost certain demise.
Grand Arms-Master Lobner smoked a pipe through an opening in the stones. His eyes, hooded with shadows hardened and he let out a smoke-filled sigh as he watched his young apprentice walk up the pathway. He carried the body of another man. To the Grand Arms-Master it seemed that the boy had gotten himself in trouble again. At the same moment, he swung himself down from the ramparts and flung open the door to the armory.
"What's this then?" his voice was like gravel and his eyes followed the obviously nervous apprentice as he set the dead body down and off to the side.
The Arms-Master grunted, before crouching down to examine the body. Looking down closely, he fingered the string to a sack of gold coins the man had held around belt level. As he contemplated, his eyes were drawn to the face. Peacefully shut eyes were all that was to be seen behind a cover of black.
"Let's get this off" he muttered under his breath, before drawing out a knife and making quick work of the light cloth. An enigma lay before him. Lifting his gaze to the apprentice, he watched him critically.
"So, you found him and made short work. Did it ever occur to you that we might want one of them alive these days? It's disgraceful. And, Evan. It's getting to the point where I'm seriously considering making you a real servant and not just one for a cover" His voice had risen to a shout, but the boy's eyes had begun to harden.
"No, Master" the term said with spite, "I didn't think of that, not when the Lord's lives were at risk. Perhaps I have a reason for leaving now, if my services are not appreciated. Perhaps it would be better if you hired a bodyguard service" he spit on the ground.
The Arms-Master let out a sigh, before smacking the boy and watched him fall backwards without pity. Turning away at the sound of a whimper, he paced towards his desk and stared at the letter he had been in the midst of writing. No. Mayhap the boy was right, he had plenty of other young men to use, but only one apprentice. Letting the thoughts mull, he faced Evan.
His eyes widened, and his mouth gaped for a moment. The apprentice seemed stunned.
He seemed to take a breath for a second before looking down at the apprentice. Before the boy could conceal it, he saw through a mask and to the fears that lay beneath. He hesitated.

The Ethno-Demography of the Talga Peoples in the Vicinity of the Vitim-Olekma Gold Mines during the First Quarter of the Twentieth Century
Elena A. Volzhanina and David G. Anderson
This article presents an ethno-demographic analysis of a regional group of Tunguses and Iakuts residing in a gold-mining area, whose traditional economy underwent profound changes at the beginning of the twentieth century. This article uses original sources to reconstruct the population of these groups, and to determine their major demographic characteristics. The authors posit that the most cogent demographic indicator, and the key factor for the dissolution of the traditional social structure is the gender imbalance, favoring males, which existed in the area as a result of industrial development.

Lithuanian Political Thought in the Twentieth Century and its Reflections in Sąjūdis
What Kind of State Have Lithuanians Been Fighting For?
Justinas Dementavičius
This article deals with the question of the conceptualization of state (Lith. valstybe) in twentieth-century Lithuanian political thought and its reflections in Sąjūdis, the Lithuanian independence movement, during the years 1988-1990. It is a commonly accepted myth that Sąjūdis restored the language of Lithuania's interwar period and thus the nation-centered, nationalistic paradigm of that period. A closer look at the political discourse of the interwar period suggests that it is misleading to talk about this kind of restitution. Furthermore, considering the fact that it is important to take into account the Soviet paradigms of the state that influenced Lithuanian political discourse for fifty years, the article finds arguments for speaking about a continuation of Soviet political discourse. Thus, along with restitution, it is possible to find continuities while conceptualizing state in Sąjūdis. While analyzing the meaning and semantic fields of those concepts, it is possible to draw arguments about the real nature of the political transformation of Soviet Lithuania.

Echoes arising from two cases of the private administration of populations
African immigrants in twentieth-century Spain and Indians in nineteenth-century Ecuador
The article simultaneously explores three lines of reflection and analysis woven around the comparative reverberations (in space and time) between citizenship and the administration of populations (states of exception) in the Republic of Ecuador during the nineteenth century and the Kingdom of Spain in the twenty century. The first thread tries to answer the question whether it is possible for concepts generated in a country of the Global South to be used usefully in analyzing a different Northern reality, inverting the usual direction in the flows of transfer and importation of "theory." The second theme of comparative reverberation explores a network of concepts concerning the citizenship of common sense and the administration of populations, that is the "back-patio" aspect of citizenship, particularly its historical formation in the domination of populations in the Republic of Ecuador during the nineteenth century. It is centered on the process of identification in the daily exchanges between interpares citizens and extrapares non-citizens. The last section involves testing concepts forged in the author's studies of Ecuadorian history for their utility in analyzing the current situation of modern sub-Saharan immigrants in Spain (using concrete examples), and their reclusion to the private sphere in spaces of exception and abandonment. Here, the article concentrates on the difference between the public administration of populations and the private administration of citizens. The article uses documentary material relating to nineteenth-century Ecuador and twentieth-century Spain and Senegal.

Mark Tully on India and Hinduism
From the Political to the Personal
Nivedita Misra
The article looks at the unique position of Mark Tully in talking about India and the role of travel in developing his oeuvre of writing. The article contextualizes Tully's "English" identity and problematizes the colonial spaces that dislodge the concept of a national identity based on boundaries. It also relates the traveler's sense of engagement at a deeper level due to his participation in India's national life at various levels, analyzing his two residences and his awareness of two different audiences. It posits that a look at the culture of the Other makes the writer self-aware of his own upbringing, religious beliefs, and social understanding. It also positions the traveler as an interpreter of cultures—the others and his own—tracing the development of his perspective from his No Full Stops in India (1991) to India: The Road Ahead (2011).

Examining the Ainu Chisei Nomi Ceremony
Nicole Inghilterra
The evolutionary importance of religion is a topic of considerable debate in recent scholarship. This article reassesses Neil Gordon Munro's ethnography of the Ainu people in Hokkaido area focusing attention on the Chisei Nomi ceremony. Munro describes kamui (ancestor spirits), who take part in the Chisei Nomi as active, observant, non-living persons. The ritual acts in the Chisei Nomi ceremony are reinterpreted using recent theoretical perspectives of perspectivism and evolutionary-communication theory. The Chisei Nomi promotes a healthy environment for close kin by establishing respect for long deceased ancestors.
Shylock and the Nazis
Continuation or Reinvention?
Alessandra Bassey
This article gives due and extended attention to the performance in 1943 of The Merchant of Venice in Vienna, examining the ways in which Shylock was portrayed and potentially misused for propagandistic purposes by the regime. The approach will be both primarily analytical and comparative. Archival material sourced from the theatre museum in Vienna (Theatermuseum) and the Burgtheater will form the base of this research. The question 'How was Shylock performed under the Nazis?' will be accompanied by 'To what extent was the play modified?' and 'How does the infamous Vienna production differ from previous, celebrated productions?' Considering that Merchant is a play which, up until today, often upsets audiences, analysing a Nazi performance might seem too crude an endeavour. This article, however, aims to demonstrate that no matter how painful or uncomfortable a topic may be, 'Erinnern macht frei' – remembrance can set you free (Marko Watt).

Parcours de femmes à l'origine du CNFF (1880–1901)
Yolande Cohen
This article aims to show that the foundation in 1901 of one of the most prominent French feminist associations, the Conseil national des femmes françaises (CNFF), was the result of the encounter between republican and feminist activist networks. Studying the trajectories of the CNFF's pioneers, using biographical and archival sources, permits us to better evaluate the influences of free-thinkers, freemasons, and liberal Protestants on the movement. The author shows that these networks, which came together in the fight for the abolition of the regulation on prostitution, were at the heart of first wave feminist struggles for gender equality and the democratization of the Third Republic. Their intervention in the public sphere, especially in this movement, led to an unexpected interplay between feminists and republicans. This feminist moment must also be understood as a republican moment.
Girl, Interrupted and Continued
Rethinking the Influence of Elena Fortún's Celia
Ana Puchau de Lecea
In this article I consider the characterization of Celia, the protagonist in Elena Fortún's "Celia and Her World" series (1929–1952), and the role of Fortún as a forerunner of women writers in the 1950s. I explore the ways in which Fortún presented herself as a female author offering alternative models of femininity to her readers through the character Celia and the social context of the series. In addition, I examine Fortún's shifting representation of Celia as a subversive character, and Fortún's ideological influence on female writers who used similar literary strategies. Using the point of view of the girl in her texts as an insurgent protagonist to reflect different sociohistorical moments in Spain suggests a continuity in Spanish narrative instead of an abrupt change after the Civil War.

Migration in the Twentieth-Century Sephardic Song Repertoire
Susana Weich-Shahak
This article deals with the Judeo-Spanish musico-poetic repertoire narrating the emigration of Sephardi Jews to Israel. These events find their expression either in original musico-poetic compositions or in melodies borrowed from well known popular songs but with the addition of new words in Judeo-Spanish. The repertoire encompasses various phases of the migration phenomenon including the problem of obtaining official entry to Palestine during the British Mandate, the despair of those left behind in the Sephardi diaspora and the difficulties associated with new trades, both rural and urban. This repertoire of migration songs shows, once again, the creative vitality of the Sephardi Jews.

There had been several rebellions towards Ottoman rule, however it was not until the 18th century that elements of the Balkans, specifically Serbia, were liberated for an extended period. While Pan-Slavism has its origins within the 17th-century Slavic Catholic clergymen within the Republic of Venice and Republic of Ragusa, it crystallized solely within the mid-nineteenth century amidst rise of nationalism in the Ottoman and Habsburg empires. By seven-hundred AD, Slavs had settled in many of the Central and Southeast Europe, from Austria even down to the Peloponnese of Greece, and from the Adriatic to the Black Sea, with the exception of the coastal areas and certain mountainous regions of the Greek peninsula. The Avars, who arrived in Europe in the late 550s and had an excellent impression in the Balkans, had from their base within the Carpathian plain, west of primary Slavic settlements, asserted control over Slavic tribes with whom they besieged Roman cities.

A 2008 examine concluded that aside from some isolated communities, Europeans are somewhat genetically homogeneous, and individual inhabitants teams are sometimes intently associated to their instant neighbours (no matter language or ethnicity). A study of ninety samples confirmed that former Yugoslav populations had a genetic uniformity, intermediate between South Europe and Eastern Europe, in line with their geographic location.
The first prominent representative of Serbian literature within the twentieth century was Jovan Skerlić, who wrote in pre–World War I Belgrade and helped introduce Serbian writers to literary modernism. The most necessary Serbian writer within the inter-struggle interval was Miloš Crnjanski. Serbs speak Serbian, a member of the South Slavic group of languages, specifically the Southwestern group. Standard Serbian is a standardized variety of Serbo-Croatian, and subsequently mutually intelligible with Standard Croatian and Standard Bosnian (see Differences in commonplace Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian), that are all based mostly on the Shtokavian dialect. ) are a nation and South Slavic ethnic group that fashioned within the Balkans.
It is estimated that over half one million Polish folks have come to work in the United Kingdom from Poland. Since 2011, Poles have been in a position to work freely throughout the EU and never simply within the United Kingdom, Ireland and Sweden the place they've had full working rights since Poland's EU accession in 2004.
The most revered actor of the second half of the 20th century in Poland is usually thought-about to be Tadeusz Łomnicki, who died in 1992 of a heart assault while rehearsing King Lear. Literature within the Second Polish Republic (1918–39) spanned a quick however exceptionally fertile interval. With the restoration of the country's independence at the finish of World War I, Poland developed sociopolitically and culturally. In the second Romantic sub-period, after the November 1830 Uprising, many Polish Romantics worked abroad, driven from Poland by the occupying powers. Their work grew to become dominated by the aspiration to regain their nation's lost sovereignty.
Orthodox Christianity is practiced by the majority of Slavs. There aren't lots of available jobs the place English is the one spoken language. However, there are increasingly more international companies which might be opening offices there due to the skilled labour and lower costs related. Another choice is for Russian audio system, as you'll find work a bit simpler this manner.
«Geography and ethnic geography of the Balkans to 1500». Slavic linguistic unity was to some extent visible as late as Old Church Slavonic (or Old Bulgarian) manuscripts which, although based on native Slavic speech of Thessaloniki, might nonetheless serve the purpose of the primary widespread Slavic literary language. Slavic studies started as an virtually exclusively linguistic and philological enterprise.
Why You Should Visit Moldova Right Now
Jordanes, Procopius and other late Roman authors present the probable earliest references to southern Slavs within the second half of the sixth century. They have been portrayed by Procopius as unusually tall and robust, of darkish skin and «reddish» hair (neither blond nor black), main a primitive life and residing in scattered huts, typically altering their residence.
Much of the Balkans was underneath Ottoman rule all through the early trendy period. Ottoman rule lasted from the 14th into the early 20th century in some territories. Ottoman society was multi-ethnic and multi-religious, and confessional teams have been divided based on the millet system, in which Orthodox Christians (Greeks, Bulgarians, Serbs, and so forth.) constituted the Rum Millet. In Islamic jurisprudence, the Christians had dhimmi standing, which entailed certain taxes and lesser rights.
Church Slavonic manuscripts
In Suwalszczyzna and Podlasie, we will discover dispersed communities of Polish Tatars and Starovers, as well as settlements of Lithuanian and Belarusian minorities. Greater Poles (Wielkopolanie) inhabit roughly the unique territory of the tribe of Polans (from which the names Poland and Poles are derived), as well as different areas where Wielkopolanie and their dialect expanded all through history.
Currently, 2,184,065 people or eighty.2% of those lined by the 2014 census on the right financial institution of the Dniester or Moldova (correct) have Moldovan/Romanian as native language, of which 1,544,726 (fifty five.1%) declared Moldovan and 639.339 (22.eight%) declared it Romanian. 263,523 people or 9.4% have Russian as native language, 107,252 or 3.eight% – Ukrainian, 114,532 or four.1% – Gagauz, 41,756 or 1.5% – Bulgarian, 12,187 or 0.5% – one other language. Only 2,723,315 declared their native language out of the 2,804,801 lined by the 2014 census. West Slavs originate from early Slavic tribes which settled in Central Europe after the East Germanic tribes had left this space in the course of the migration interval. They are noted as having blended with Germanics, Hungarians, Celts (notably the Boii), Old Prussians, and the Pannonian Avars.
Moldova continues to be considered the one of the poorest countries in Europe even with substantial progress being made. According to the UN Development Program report from 2016, 9.6% of the population was dwelling in absolute poverty and the World Bank reports that 0.2% and 0.1% of the inhabitants stay at $1.90 a day in 2016 and 2017 respectively. Furthermore, the share of the population that was residing below the nationwide poverty line was 30.2 in 2006 and 9.6 in 2015. In 2012, Moldova received zero.004 as its Multidimensional poverty index (MPI).
Moldova's No. 1 problem after greater than a quarter of a century of independence isn't poverty or corruption, it's depopulation, President Igor Dodon has informed RFE/RL. Moldova is a landlocked nation in Eastern Europe, located between Romania and Ukraine. The government system is a republic; the chief of state is the president, and the head of government is the prime minister. Moldova has a blended economic system which incorporates quite a lot of personal freedom, combined with centralized financial planning and authorities regulation. Moldova is a member of the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA).
Be conscious of those native laws and customs before you go to Moldova. Here's the way to avoid pickpocketing, scams and police corruption.

Czech Republic National Overview
Updated in June 2018 by Ingeborg Radok-Žádná, Vice-Dean for International Relations and Art Activity at the Prague Academy of Performing Arts, Music and Dance Faculty.
Basic professional training of musicians is provided by the conservatoires in the Czech Republic, where students at the age of fourteen start attending a 6-year programme (pre-college education). At present, there are fourteen public conservatoires, one private conservatoire and three church conservatoires in the Czech Republic. Their graduates are qualified to teach at Music Schools (Basic Schools of Art) and their training is usually sufficient to be accepted in one of the symphony orchestras. The Jaroslav Ježek Conservatoire in Prague offers education in popular music, jazz and musical drama. The needs of the church are covered by the church secondary school for organ players and by the church conservatoire in Kromĕříž, Opava and Olomouc. In the Czech Republic, conservatoires are not considered as higher music education institutions (but a secondary level, pre-college educational institutions).
Students with a higher level of talent and skills can continue their study at higher music education institutions – the faculties of music of the academies of performing arts in Prague (AMU) or in Brno (JAMU) and at the Faculty of Art of the Ostrava University. A three-cycle educational system (Bachelor, Master and Doctoral degree) has been implemented at three faculties. At these institutions a large emphasis is put on professionalism and specialisation in the given study field. Frequent individual tuition based on one-on-one teaching guarantees a high quality of education. Students have the possibility to spend part of their studies abroad. They are allowed to obtain the academic title of Bachelor of Arts – BcA., Master of Arts – MgA. and Doctor – Ph.D.
Besides the conservatoires and the faculties of music, there is also the possibility of attending the pedagogical faculty of a university.
13 conservatoires (not higher education level), 1 music gymnasia, 3 music faculties (university level)
pre-college level – approximately 2500
university level – approximately 970
State funding through Ministry of Education, other state authorities (municipalities, regions, Czech Science Foundation), culture institutions, foundations, private funding.
Curricula for professional music training are controlled by the State; implementation of new study subjects including their curricula must be approved by the Board of Artists at first, then the curricula must go through the accreditation procedure.
Music education is offered mostly in classical music, opera, partly jazz and pop, musical theatre, and early music.
1st cycle: 3 years (Bachelor)
2nd cycle: 2 years (Master)
Bachelor of Arts (BcA.) – Not only artistic quality on the level of soloist is expected, the profile of the musician must include also pedagogical ability and theoretical knowledge (methodology, psychology, pedagogy).
Master of Arts (MgA.)
Doctor (Ph.D)
Talent and artistic practice requirement, music theory and history exam.
Artistic practice requirement, performance skills on the high solo performance level, a concrete study programme (students propose it themselves), some kind of specialisation in the given field, e.g. interpretation of Early Music, contemporary music.
% of students who continue with 2nd cycle approximately 70%
The Doctoral study programme lasts 3 to 4 years. The objective-based Doctoral studies contain a research and a performance component; there can be also a requirement for part-time teaching. 3rd Cycle studies are offered at three institutions: Janacek Academy of Music and Performing Arts, the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague and Faculty of Art of the Ostrava University.
Doctoral Studies thus contain Artistic Research, however, doctoral studies in Music Theory are more theoretical.
Artistic Research – Doctoral studies in Music Theory is more theoretical
At all three faculties a credit point system, compatible with ECTS, is used.
Higher education institutions are linked to the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport and since 1998 have to go through the accreditation procedure every ten years. In 2016, the Amendment to the Higher Education Act has been approved, and institutions will go through a new form of accreditation (institutional or programme specific). The new independent body, the National Accreditation Office, has been established on the 1st September 2016 and replaces the old Accreditation Commission. The system of the new accreditation process hasn´t been formulated yet in details. Accreditation review will be conducted every 10 years by the National Accreditation Office, based upon an institution's self-evaluation. The Czech Republic is not open to external evaluation, but the National Accreditation Office will take into account the external evaluation of the institution within the institutional or programme accreditation approval. The former Accreditation Commission had the EQAR registration, the new body hasn´t it yet.
Graduates from these academies can work as performers, but also as teachers of conservatoires or music academies. For teaching at Music Schools (Basic School of Music) a diploma from a conservatoire is sufficient, for academic staff a MgA (Masters) is required at minimum.
The academic year is divided into 2 semesters: winter and summer. The academic year starts on 1 October and finishes on 30 September.
There are several possibilities in Czech Republic to be musically trained prior to entering higher education.
Basic Art Schools follow a national curriculum which is divided in two levels (primary and secondary); there is a different level for adults. Students have to take examinations every year. Curricula include instrumental lessons (mostly one-on-one tuition), orchestra and chamber music lessons and theory subjects. Most schools provide classical music education only, but some provide jazz and pop music lessons as well. Many graduates continue their education at conservatories.
Conservatories in Czech Republic are vocational training institutions that train students to be professional musicians. Conservatories provide music education at a very high level, combined with general education. They do not offer training at academic level (no Bachelor or Master Degrees).
The curriculum takes 6 years and is finished with a final examination in a foreign language, theoretical subjects, main subject, students need to write a thesis which they need to defend, and they need to take a test in art-pedagogical subjects. Students can obtain DiS. title.
It is possible to switch to a University or Academy of Performing Arts/Music after 4 years of studying. Graduates go on to study further or enter the professional field. Graduates that have taken pedagogy classes receive a diploma which allows them to teach at Basic Art Schools or Elementary Schools (music).
Public conservatoires are free of charge. There are some private conservatories and conservatories owned by churches which charge tuition fees. In these cases, the state pays the costs of teaching material and salaries of teachers and other employees, students pay for all other costs.
One special public conservatory focuses on handicapped students; it trains, for instance, visual impared students. The school also educates tuners trained to tune pianos and cembalos and to implement easy reparations.
There are also conservatoires focusing on other art disciplines (dance, drama), mainly private.
Music Gymnasium provide high level general education combined with music education. Students can enter Music Gymnasium from the age of 10 after passing an entrance examination. It is also possible to enter later.
Music Gymnasium aim to prepare students for higher music education as well as for any other study area. They follow a national curriculum including a full general education programme at the highest level and music related subjects, such as instrumental tuition (one-to-one), theory subjects and orchestra and ensemble lessons. Music Gymnasium focus on classical music.
Music Gymnasium is financed by the municipality, do not charge tuition fees.
The Czech Republic has a long tradition in the pre-college and elementary music education on a very high level. It has a rich net of elementary art schools (or basic schools of art). In the country, there is a huge number of semi-professional or amateur orchestras, choirs, chamber and opera ensembles (acting at schools, universities, municipalities, research institutions etc.), lot of them are mixed – include both professional and amateur musicians and singers. There is also a big number of summer music courses for amateurs and future professionals.
There are quite a lot teachers from the Academies (higher education) teaching at Conservatories and Music Gymnasium. Students are well prepared for the entrance level of higher education.
Almost all students come from Conservatories or Music Gymnasium.
There are many facilities for talented students; there are competitions for all kinds of instruments, at different levels and for different age groups. There are also competitions for school orchestras and choirs.
Czech Republic knows a distinction between the training of Instrumental/vocal music teachers, and music teachers for general education. Teachers can be trained at vocational training institutes, called 'conservatoires', and at Music Academies (correctly Music Faculties of Academies of Performing Arts of Faculty of Art) (higher music education institutions).
Instrumental and vocal music teachers are educated at conservatoires and Music Faculties of Academies of Performing Arts (resp. Faculty of Art). There are 13 conservatoires in Czech Republic: in Prague, České Budějovice, Plzeň, Teplice, Pardubice, Brno, Kroměříž, Olomouc, Opava and Ostrava and 1 music gymnasium. There are three higher education music institutions: in Prague, Brno and Ostrava.
Studies at conservatoires last six years and the graduates from these schools can teach at state or private elementary art schools. These institutions offer specialised music education to talented children, young people and, to a certain degree, adults.
Faculties of Music (resp. Faculty of Art) of Academies of Performing Arts offer programmes to train teachers for elementary art schools, conservatories and music faculties, and artists with a certificate in artistic education. They provide a 3-year Bachelor, 2-year Masters programme and 3-4 year PhD programme.
Usually, candidates must pass a special entrance examination. Every institution prepares its own requirements for each type of study programme.
Each music department and every institution has its own curriculum, however, the majority of subjects can be found in all study programmes. These are: Music Psychology and Diagnostics, Pedagogy with Methodology, Methodology of Music Teaching, Special Music Methodology, Didactics and Teaching Practice. Conservatoires also provide some general education subjects, as their students enter the institution at 14 or 15 years of age.
At Music Faculties, the pedagogical orientation of students (optional) is developed in the Bachelor and Master programmes. Within the general studies they acquire necessary knowledge in psychology and pedagogy, which corresponds with music psychological and pedagogical education. Teaching methodology is combined with observation practice (1 week) and then with teaching practice (2 weeks) at elementary and secondary schools as well as at elementary art schools. The final practice lasts 4-6 weeks. Students who are being prepared for a professional music career also have ongoing practice in their specific disciplines.
Mostly classical music, jazz, early music, chamber music, vocal training
Depending on the education received, graduates can teach at state or private elementary art schools, and sometimes at conservatoires and music faculties as well.
Music Faculties, conservatoires (Ostrava and Brno) and some Elementary Music Schools provide further Continuing Professional Development courses in certain fields (Music History, Music Theory, Interpretation of Early Music…)
There are several institutes for Continuing Professional Development (National Institute for Continuing Development, National Institute for Professional Training) and there are private organizations which provide also Continuing Professional Development courses.
Music teacher education of music teachers for primary and secondary schools is carried out at the university, within the faculties of education. There are nine in the Czech Republic: Prague, Ústí and Labem, Plzeň, České Budějovice, Hradec Králové, Liberec, Brno, Ostrava and Olomouc.
These universities offer the following types of music teaching programmes:
Teaching music in primary-schools,
Teaching music in secondary-schools (at most of the Faculties of Education),
Conducting church and children choirs and young people choirs (at most of the Faculties of Education)
Teaching in Elementary art schools (at most of the Faculties of Education)
Students following the programmes for teaching music at elementary and secondary schools usually study one more subject (Czech language, English language, German language, History, Psychology etc.) so as to be qualified to teach this alongside Music. However, they can study Music teaching in combination with another artistic specialisation – conducting, playing the piano (violin, accordion) and solo singing.
Primary and secondary schools teacher trainees study for three years on the Bachelor programme. This programme includes courses in artistic/music performance skills, Music theory and history. An additional two year Master course focuses on teaching skills and pedagogical practice. In most Music Departments' Faculties of Education, both Bachelor and Master programmes for teaching music in Elementary Art Schools are accredited, as well as programmes for conducting choirs.
Bachelor programme (3 years = 6 semesters), Master programme (2 years = 4 semesters)
Before the Bologna Declaration there was also a fully-fledged Master programme lasting 4 or 5 years (8 or 10 semesters)
The following is a breakdown of the taught hours of each programme:
Music Teacher Training Bachelor programme – a total of 741 hours (180 credits)
Music Teacher Training Master programme – a total of 325 hours (120 credits)
Graduates are allowed to teach at the institutions mentioned above, according to the type of training received.
