Wondering if you'd be available to play at an Edmonton community league's Volunteer Appreciation Night Oct. 13 (I see that you're currently available for that date). There will be approx. 80 people and the age ranges around either the 40's or the 70's-80's (yes, I think they like to party??) It's an 80's theme so we'd like the music to reflect that (and your outfits if so deemed!). How much would we be looking at for that? Thanks.

Welsh Memorials to the Great War
Philip Dudley Waller
Rodney Parade is now home to the Newport Gwent Dragons Rugby Club. The entrance gate, however, serves as a memory to the club's past. It is dedicated to the 85 members of Newport Athletics Club who lost their lives during the First World War.
A large number of the names can be found in other local memorials around Newport – for example, 18 are commemorated on the memorial at St Mark's Church, five on the Newport High School Old Boys' memorial and three at Victoria Avenue Methodist Church. Many of these men served with 'local' regiments – at least 24 were with the Monmouthshire Regiment, and at least 18 were South Wales Borderers.
However, six of these men were killed while fighting as members of overseas forces – three with the Canadians, and one each with the Australian, New Zealand and South African forces. This of course indicates that they had emigrated before the outbreak of war. People emigrated for many different reasons at the turn of the twentieth century, but one of the most unusual cases must be that of Philip Dudley Waller.
Evening Express, 12/12/1908, p.2
Philip was born in Bath in 1889, but later moved with his parents to Llanelli, where he began his rugby career. He was a gifted forward, and played his first game for Wales at the tender age of nineteen. The Evening Express of 12 December 1908 (football edition, p.2) described his achievement as "a phenomenal rise to football fame" – he'd only started playing for Newport's third team in the 1906-7 season. In 1910 Waller was selected to play for the British Lions on tour in South Africa. It appears that he and one of his team-mates had such a good time there that he decided to stay. An article in the Evening Express entitled "Great Loss to Newport Club" ( 31 August 1910, p.4, second edition) stated that "it is definitely reported that P.D. Waller and Melville Baker, of Newport, who are now with the British team, will remain in South Africa."
Sadly, Phillip Waller died on active service in France on 14 December 1917. He was buried at Red Cross Corner Cemetery near Arras. The Llanelli Star wrote that he had "a wide circle of friends who regret his untimely though glorious death." A few months later, the Cambria Daily Leader reported the death of a brother – "Richard Percy Waller, R.A.F., has been killed at Montrose. He had gained his wings as a pilot only a week before his death" (3 June 1918, p. 3). The War memorial in their home town of Llanelli does not list the names of the servicemen commemorated there, but the names of both brothers can be found on the Carmarthen County War Memorial Roll.He settled in Johannesburg, even becoming a member of the town council there. The Llanelli Star reported that he enlisted into the South African Heavy Artillery in August 1915 because he was "a good sport in every sense of the term and full of patriotic fervour, he saw it to be his duty to do something for his country" (5 January 1918, p.1). Indeed, the Llanelli Star was eager to sing Phil Waller's praises generally: "Personally, he was a charming young man. Of fine physique, abundant fervour, and highly attractive manner, he was a very popular officer, loved by the men and regarded with very great favour by his supervisors."

Brampton pharmacist Ben Shenouda says it costs $10 on average to fill a prescription in Ontario, but the provincial government pays him just $7 for the seniors, welfare recipients and others who qualify for provincial drug coverage.
The owner of an independent pharmacy, Shenouda says he makes up the shortfall by using some of the "professional allowances" he receives from generic drug makers for stocking their products.
Ontario pharmacists fear those payments are under attack, as the government eyes the millions of dollars they received in allowances from generic drug makers. Under Ontario law, pharmacies are supposed to use the allowances to improve patient care, providing such things as flu and diabetes clinics.

Having come so close to bringing premiership action to Masvingo in 2015, Una Una as Masvingo United is affectionately known, started their 2019 Eastern Region Division 1 campaign on a high note as they unveiled their vision of playing in the top flight Premier Soccer League (PSL).
With former Masvingo mayor Hubert Fidze as the club chairperson, the club believes the sky is the limit for them and will go an extra mile to make sure that the long awaited PSL return is possible.
Fidze has been appointed interim chairman up until the February 28, 2019 elections where a substantive executive will be elected.
Addressing a press conference, Fidze said the club was targeting to attain premiership status by the year 2021 and pledged to be transparent so as to avoid the chaos which rocked the previous executive.
Before the commencement of last season Una Una had a lot of potential sponsors but they all vanished a few weeks before the 2018 campaign started leaving the club struggling to fulfill fixtures.
Fidze also took time to announce the club's 2019 budget which is pegged at $247 090.90 and appealed to the corporate world for sponsorship.
"We will knock at any door in the city. We have put the budget out there so that we become transparent and we will appoint auditors.
"I won an award for the best local governance of the year with Masvingo City Council and I will try to do the same and help Una Una to return to PSL," said Fidze.
Appointing Fidze as the club's chairperson could be the best foot forward for Masvingo United as the man had a good reputation that follows him and will easily appeal to sponsors.
The press conference was also attended by Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) Administrator Tedious Machawira and other Una Una board members and team coach Wilson Chinosengwa.
Last season, Masvingo United finished the season trapped in the bottom half of the log standings fighting relegation.

It's official. Cats are the world's most popular companion animals. More than 95.6 million felines live in American homes, and more than 600 million cats live among people around the world. Anyone lucky enough to share his or her home with a feline will concur that cats inherently understand their roles as beloved companions. While they certainly don't need statistics to back up this claim to popularity, data substantiating it does exist, coming from a slew of diverse resources, such as internationally recognized historians, archaeologists, zoologists, geneticists, and animal behaviorists who have tracked the history of the domestic cat back some 10,000 years.
Most of the breeds described here are currently accepted for championship competition.

Samsung Galaxy S5, Galaxy S5 Sport Marshmallow Update on Sprint is Out
April 12, 2016 Daniel Robinson
Samsung Galaxy S5 users on Sprint can finally have something to smile about as the American wireless carrier has finally availed Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for this 2014 flagship.
In addition to Samsung Galaxy S5, those using Galaxy S5 Sport can also get the same update on Sprint, which is an OTA update. This Marshmallow started showing up on Sprint devices as early as October last year, however, the earlier releases were mostly directed to newer devices. With Samsung Galaxy S5 being a 2014 release, the update was meant to reach this device at some point this year.
In essence, Sprint started pushing the Galaxy S5 Marshmallow update last week and if all goes according to plan, the schedule will go on until May 19. In short, there is still time for you to update your device to the latest operating system, but why not now? Of course, patience pays and if the OTA notification hasn't shown up in your notifications panel just yet, keep calm and it will eventually show up. If you can't wait any longer, check for the update manually via the phone's About device settings.
Google and Samsung security updates on board
According to Sprint, the new Android 6.0 Marshmallow update on Samsung Galaxy S5 will bring all the goodies that are associated with the new Google OS. In addition, the carrier also details that the update carries security updates from both companies – Samsung and Google – as well as fixes to common bugs. Make sure you have enough storage space on your device since the update has a size of about 900MB.
There is a dedicated support page for Samsung Galaxy S5 as well as another similar page for Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport. While there is no change log available for the latter device, we don't expect differences in the updates for the two devices.
Google recently unveiled the developer preview of Android N. Given that Samsung Galaxy S5 Marshmallow update will actually be the phone's third Android version, it is unlikely that the 2014 flagship will be lined up for the upcoming OS. The phone was launched with Android KitKat on board, later on, updated to Android Lollipop and now it is receiving Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Sprint has recently been busy with Android 6.0 Marshmallow updates with respect to older devices. Another device to have recently seen this update is Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The update, like this latest Galaxy S5 Marshmallow update, also comes with the latest Android security patch.

Home Morocco World News A Moroccan to compete in the Free Fight competition in Holland
A Moroccan to compete in the Free Fight competition in Holland
By Youssef El Kaidi
Fez, March 10, 2013
Under the supervision of the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation, and in cooperation with Mejiro Gym Club – Amsterdam, Holland hosts on Sunday, March 10th, 2013 an international sport competition in Free Fight. Many international champions will take part in the competition, including five Moroccans; namely, the former world's champion in kick boxing and free fight Hassan Chkirech, Reda Bida, Ali Motawakil and Ahmed Ben Ahmed.
In a statement to Morocco World News, former world champion Hassan Chkirech explained that the objective of his participation in this international event and his fight against the former world champion Bryan Feldman is to integrate Moroccan champions in the competition and allow them to gain more experience in this sport (free fight) which is not yet recognized by the Morocco Ministry of Youth and Sports.
He went on to say that his personal participation under the name of "Taza Federation for Creativity and Development" is not but an evidence of the absence of a Royal Moroccan Federation for Free Fight despite the existence of more than 25 Free Fight clubs scattered along the country. Recently, the League of Sous-Massa-Deraa and the League of Chaouiya for Free Fight were founded and in the near future the League of the East will follow.
In his last training session before setting out to Holland, Hassan Chkirech stated that the Federation of Taza for Creativity and Development is recognized by the International Free Fight Federation and it includes highly distinguished Moroccan champions who will mark their first participation in an international competition. The latter, Chkirech said, will probably be streamed lively on Eurosport channel.

She plants a sweet kiss on the tender palms of Tanujashri, her year-old great grand daughter and bestows a beaming smile at the splendour of the human divinity. Ajay, her college-going great grandson runs into the living room and vents his latest arguments that he had with his sister, as the great grandmother listens to it with caring concern. At coffee time, she spends a light moment with Gayatri and Nitya, her beloved grand daughters, to whom she has bequeathed so much of her music and marvel. The phone rings and she answers in a raised tone, enquiring about the health of her grandson Charan and of course, of the weather in Adelaide, Australia. Her nonagenarian better half, Shri Iswaran mama, clad in shorts and shoes, announces his schedule for the evening at the tennis court. And, as he is on his way to his favorite game, she cries her heart out to the ever-disappearing long time family cook Krishnamurthy to give him his usual serving of fruit juice. In comes the vegetable vendor lady who dumps her huge basket right in front of her and the grand lady meticulously checks for fresh ladies' fingers by breaking the tips off a few and ultimately makes a good selection of vegetables after an interesting bargaining session and a patient hearing of all the stories of Kotturpuram that the vendor woman provides!
Smt D K Pattammal sports many more such happenings of her busy household with utmost passion as much as she is immersed in the nectarous ocean of the great art of Carnatic music. Much is known about her storming entry into the field of Carnatic music, her defiance of a male bastion, her redefinition of orthodoxy, her dedication towards singing for the freedom of Mother India and, not to forget, her meridian contribution to the showcasing of the colossal compositions of Shri Muttusvami Dikshitar. Pattamma, as she is fondly known to all, from babies to oldies, at 88 today, spends her time in the cozy quarters of her home in the heart of Madras, imparting to many, the invaluable wealth of her experiences with music and musicians.
Her eyes would sparkle when she reminisced how the inimitable Nayana Pillai would sing a sprightly niraval at 'tapamu pogada' of the krti 'Ne morabettite' of Shri Tyagarajasvami. Many a time has she shared incidents, with a feeling of elation, about how doyens such as Shri 'Tiger' Varadachariar, Shri Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavatar, Shri Maharajapuram Vishvanatha Iyer and Shri Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar have showered accolades on her for her strict and highly dignified adherence to sampradaya. The violin maestro, Shri Papa Venkataramayya, who was her neighbour when she lived in the suburb of T Nagar for a while, had invited her often to his home, to listen to her soulful rendition of several monumental krtis. A new leaf was turned when the mridangam genius Shri Palghat Mani Iyer offered to play for Pattamma, breaking the long time bane of the male-female divide. Pattamma's special affinity towards the Dhanammal family and their music was intense. She had sung for numerous important occasions in their household and was so enamoured by Smt Balasarasvati's abhinaya, that she would re-enact a few of her sancharis for some of the padams; one such memorable exposition was for the Saurashtra padam 'Aduvum sholluval'. She would choke with emotion each time she recounted how Shri Ambi Dikshitar wholeheartedly offered to teach her after listening to her Shri Subrahmanyaya namaste and how Shri T L Venkatarama Iyer literally held his last breath, eagerly awaiting the news of her being awarded the prestigious Sangita Kalanidhi.
Nobody has been dearer to her than her illustrious brother Shri D K Jayaraman. Having raised him in her arms and been much more than an elder sister and a guru to him, Pattamma would always recall with motherly pride and love, his unparalleled intelligence, his supreme sense of aesthetics and the manner in which he scaled the glorious heights by his untiring efforts. A day wouldn't pass without chatting with him for at least a while on the telephone, be it a hilarious conversation or even a heated argument. But to chat was a must. Tears would roll down her wrinkled cheeks when the thought passed that she had lost him to the gods. Nevertheless she would always console herself by quoting an adage from vedantic literature about the temporal nature of all creation.
Shri DKJ also regarded his sister more than the most precious. He would at times instruct a few of us to fetch either a recording or a notation of a krti from Pattamma and it was always a great pleasure to visit her. A very caring guru that Shri DKJ was, he would keep Pattamma posted of concert schedules, achievements and progress of all his shishyas. Infact, it was at his recommendation that I played my first concert for Pattamma, one that still lingers fresh in memory and is undoubtedly one of my most cherished. Since then, it has been my great fortune to have the gracious guidance, support and encouragement from the Iswaran couple.
Accompanying Pattamma was always a very enjoyable experience. All her concerts were immense sources of knowledge. Many a time would she sing rare compositions, unheard by many, and present them with an exquisite touch of class. Her concerts were always powerful incentives to learn more and they really helped in upgrading one's repertoire. The values of tradition, authenticity and pathantara reigned supreme in each one of her highly dignified concert presentations.
Learning from her is a joy, one of its kind. She would revel in the musical bliss of the krti and would often go down memory lane, taking us also along with her on to the vintage golden era of Carnatic music and musicians. Much as it would be an enlightening experience to listen to her talk about the greatness of our music, it is also great fun to listen to her narrations of numerous anecdotes in her characteristic North Arcot accent of the Tamil language. To anybody who comes to learn music, the doors of her home are always open and she is so endearingly generous in passing on her hard earned treasure of this great art form. Her teaching capabilities are only too well known. She has the art of initiating with ease, even a complex sangati, to her students, be it anybody, even from China or Japan!!
Above everything, it is her abundant and unconditional affection for everyone that makes Pattamma very special. She has utmost concern for the welfare of her dear ones. Wishing always for the best of things, Pattamma, braving her age and health with her tremendous will power, still goes out of the way many a time to fulfil a task if that is highly rewarding. Be it arranging a concert for a deserving youngster or recommending a bright student for a scholarship or fetching an admission for a tiny tot into kindergarten at a prestigious school or even offering matrimonial counsel (in fact she categorically rejected an alliance because of the fact that she once saw the girl wearing a sleeveless blouse- sacrilege, in her opinion!!!!), Pattamma always takes wholehearted care to see that the outcome is always fruitful. True to her name, her silken charisma shines today as a bright beacon to the fraternity of Carnatic music.
When Pattamma holds a trivial gift of a pack of 'Pringles' or a strand of jade or a swirl of violet silk close to her heart, the spirit of the unblemished child like innocence touches the heart and inspires the soul. And as I listen to the long list of blessings that she voices, every time I fall at her feet and as she holds my hand for a while when I am just about to leave, an inexplicable feeling of bliss pervades, never to be forgotten.

Q: Eclipse - Maven - Dependencies not getting automatically reflected I have installed

*

*Java 1.7

*Eclipse Juno

*From Eclipse Market place have installed - Maven Integration for Eclipse WTP (a.k.a m2e-wtp), m2e-apt, Spring IDE, The Spring Tool Suite™ (STS)

*Have defined M2_HOME as directory where Maven is installed. PATH updated as %M2_HOME%/bin
I am working on Windows XP.
I am able to create a Maven project but when trying to add Dependencies (select pom.xml - Dependencies - Add) artifactId's "Enter groupId, artifactId or sha1 prefix or pattern" which are inputted are not getting displayed. Say if I input "springframework", it only reflect the jars that installed locally and don't search over the internet.
Also if I check Maven Repositories (select by Windows - Show Views - Others - Maven - Maven Repositories), nothing is shown in Global Repositories - central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2).
In case, if I manually put required artifactID in pom.xmland then update maven it downloads the required jars.
I am working on my home computer where I don't have any proxies and has set following in local m2 settings (C:\Documents and Settings\Sandy\.m2\Settings.xml)

Can you please advise, what setting I need to do so that inputted artifact's can be added using add Dependencies option?
Thanks in advance

A:
Also if I check Maven Repositories (select by Windows - Show Views - Others - Maven - Maven Repositories), nothing is shown in Global Repositories - central(http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2).

It is most likely that your central Repository index might never have been updated. To resolve it ,
Go to Window > Show View > Other > type Maven in filter and select Maven Repositories.
In Maven Repositories tab Expand Global Repositories, Right-click on central and Update Index.
The process will initially take about a few minutes depending on the network speed but once its done, the search box will start showing results when-ever you type in the name of any jar

A: The configuration for Eclipse can be found here:

The screen shot is from Mac OS but also on Windows you will find this under preferences -> Maven.

A: Finally issue got resolved :) :)
Here what was done:

*

*Followed @khmarbaise, @SaifAsif, @Adrian comments :)
Thanks for them I was able to understand the overlooked configurations

*Installed Eclipse Kepler (I was using Eclipse Juno) and Spring IDE from marketplace

*Maven Download setting as shown by @khmarbaise

*Copied global setting of maven (f:\maven\conf\settings.xml) to my local setting (C:\Documents and Settings\Sandy.m2). I didn't modified any thing in it.

*Windows - System environment variables were set

*M2_HOME - To the local installion (f:\Maven)

*M2 - %M2_HOME%\bin

*JAVA_HOME (already exist) - f:\java

*PATH - %M2%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

*CLASSPATH - %JAVA_HOME%

At end I was able to see the dependencies automatically.
Thanks!

The Hawaii Ecotourism Association (HEA) has named Trilogy Excursions its 2017 Tour Operator of the year and Trilogy's Conservation and Education Director and First Mate, Magen Schifiliti, the Tour Guide of the Year. Additional categories awarded are Travel Writer and Kupa'a Ho'aloha (HEA Volunteer). The award recipients were honored at the Annual Awards Luncheon on Tuesday, November 13th at the Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel.


Open Door is not just a name, but a way of treating people. Our doors are open to everyone, and you 'll find love and a friendly greeting when you walk through our doors. In a world that can be harsh and unforgiving, we think of Open Door as our shelter from the world and the troubles that surround us throughout the week. It is the place where we can be with people that care for each other, share the same heart for God, and love people as the Lord does…unconditionally!
At Open Door, the Bible is front and center. You will find practical Bible lessons in every class, for every age group. We stand on the Bible as our only authority for life and faith, and Pastor's messages are filled with uncompromising, relevant, helpful Scripture.
Open Door has a heart for people of all backgrounds, ages, and ethnicities. We have people who have attended church all their lives, and people with no church background. We have a mix of young and mature. We celebrate the countries and cultures of the world. At the last count, we have had people from 56 different countries visit our church! You will find that no matter how you look, where you have been, or where you are now, you will feel at home here if you simply have a desire for spiritual growth.
While we are passionate for the Lord, we have a happy and excited, yet relaxed atmosphere. We know some people don't want to stand out or be pressured, so you can grab a cup of coffee and just relax and enjoy the service. During our services, we have heartfelt singing, relevant Bible preaching, and open invitations to respond, but it is up to you how you want to respond as the Lord speaks.
"What should I wear?" and "What is the music like?" are two common questions. On any given Sunday you will find almost everything in clothing, but the norm would be most of the men wear suits or nice casual pants with a collared shirt, and many of the women choose to wear modest skirts or dresses, but we want you to feel welcome no matter how you dress. We are the most concerned about your spiritual state! As far as music, we love to praise the Lord! We are a conservative church and sing mostly hymns along with some good choruses and scripture songs. It is uplifting and encouraging, but not worldly.
We are focused on the family.
We believe strongly in the Lord's first institution—the family! We work hard to help families become more close and strong. In a nation of broken homes and distant families, the Lord still shows us how to have a happy, strong family, and we see Him working in the families of Open Door.
Christians tell us that they are starving for the Word but aren't being fed in churches. Everything we do is Bible-centered. The teaching and preaching are filled with the Bible. We don't replace biblical preaching with man's opinions or ideas.
We are passionate about the Lord.
We are not just trying to have the same, run of the mill, 21st-century Christianity which is very "lukewarm". The people of Open Door have a sincere desire to learn all we can about the Bible and to please Jesus Christ, both in our church and in our personal lives. Although we are all at different stages of growth, our pastor has given us a vision of reaching toward our Lord while reaching out to others.
We are not trying to be like the world, but like Jesus. The service is traditional, and the preaching is Biblical. We seek to be Biblically correct, not necessarily politically correct.
We are reaching the lost.
We don't just say that we need to reach the world; we aggressively fulfill the Great Commission in our daily lives and through church ministries that give us opportunities to share our faith. We use the biblical pattern of "everywhere, and house to house," which is found in Acts 5:42 and Acts 20:20.
Open Door is an independent church without a denomination, fellowship, or organization to control the church. We have one authority: the Bible! We simply look to the Bible to see how God wants a church to be and we use the church in the book of Acts as our example. ODBC is not our church, but His church.
We are not trying to recruit Christians from other Bible-believing churches. If you already have a good church and are just "shopping around", this is probably not the church for you. Yet, we do understand that some Christians just aren't being fed or their church has moved away from the Bible. There are also Christians who have moved to a new area and need to find a good church nearby. If you are one of those people, we welcome you! It is not easy to find a solid, Gospel-preaching church in the Seattle area. We promise that you'll never walk away from Open Door feeling spiritually hungry!
While we are adjusting to our new facilities, we may have to rearrange our classes. This is how we divided our classes before, and we hope to resume all of these classes as soon as possible once we are settled into our new building. Feel free to call Pastor Byram at 206.851.8640 if you have any questions about our current class organization.
We love having everybody together during this service! It gives the young children, and even babies or toddlers, an opportunity to practice how to behave in an adult setting. We usually encourage the adults without young children to sit closer to the front so that the back rows are open to the families with little ones. This tends to make parents more comfortable as they work with their kids to develop good habits. Even very small children can learn from the preaching of the Word of God!

A population of red squirrelfish breeds and produce offspring 75 are still red but 25 are yellow This variation in the color of the squirrelfish can be explained by?
Percentages, Fractions, and Decimal Values
Some of the squirrelfish are carriers of a recessive gene that codes for a yellow color instead of red.
Asked in Charles Darwin, Genetic Engineering
The least genetic variation will probably be found in the offspring of organism the reproduce using?
Mitosis to produce a larger population
Asked in Genetic Engineering
The least genetic variation will probably be found in the offspring of organism that reproduce using?
Asked in Biology
Is the hippo able to pass on variation to offspring?
Yes, any animal that undergoes sexual repoduction can pass on variation to their offspring, provided that variation is contained in the gametes, or germinative cells.
Asked in Definitions, Algebra
Why is there variation?
the change that occur from parents in the offspring
Asked in Genetics
Which form of reproduction results in the highest degree of genetic variation among offspring?
Outcrossing is the form of reproduction that results in the highest degree of genetic variation among offspring.
Asked in Charles Darwin, Evolution
What are the four major points of Darwin's theory of natural selection?
1. Overproduction - more offspring are born than survive 2. Genetic Variation - there is variation in the population 3. Struggle to Survive - organisms with suitable variations will survive and reproduce 4. Differential Reproduction - suitable variations are passed on to offspring
Asked in Science, Biology, Genetics
Which type of reproduction sexual or asexual results in offspring with greater gentic variation?
sexual reproduction results in offspring with greater genetic variation. It takes two sets of genes so you get more variation. Asexual reproduction produces a clone.
Asked in Science, Relationships, Biology
What is the main source of variation in a population?
Go to the link below, it has a lot of information on variation in population.
Asked in Science, Biology
Why genetic variation is of to benefit to a population?
Genetic variation allows a population to adapt to a changing environment.
Asked in Evolution
How does variation in a species bring about evolution?
Variations in offspring are acted upon by natural selection: some offspring will be slightly more proficient at producing new offspring than others. This means that some alleles will promulgate throughout the population gene pool at a faster rate than others, resulting in a shifting frequency of incidence in the population gene pool. This is what evolution is: shifting allele frequencies in the population gene pool.
Asked in Natural Selection
What are the four principles of natural selection?
Variation. Organisms (within populations) exhibit individual variation in appearance and behavior. ... Inheritance. Some traits are consistently passed on from parent to offspring. ... High rate of population growth. ... Differential survival and reproduction.
Asked in Biology, Genetics, Genetic Engineering
What contributes to genetic variation in offspring?
it is the crossing over of egg and sperm
What type of reproduction causes variation among offspring?
Sexual Reproduction
What are four main pieces of evidence that support Darwin's theory?
Darwin's Observations There is a variation of characteristics/traits within a population Traits are passed from parent to offspring (heredity) Organisms produce more offspring that are able to survive (overproduction) Due to the lack of resources, some offspring may not survive
What could be said about the offspring of a sexually producing organism?
What could be said is that the offspring will not be identical, genetically or regarding appearance; there will be variation between offspring and their sexually reproducing parents.
How can genetic material variation help some offspring survive?
Because on very, very rare occasions the variation may be helpful
Why was variation the weakest concept in Darwin's theory?
Variation?!?! That was an obvious observation of naturalists that opposed Darwin's concepts totally. Unless you mean the heritability that leads to variation? Explaining that variation was the problem. Creationists of the time explained this by positing god's whimsy in designing his species, but this was shown to be nonsense as natural processes are at work in variation and this can be shown experimentally. The concept of natural selection explained how that natural variation was selected on beneficial traits. What Darwin did not understand is how that variation was passed on to progeny. His explanation was wrong.
When the offspring has a new genetic variation that it got from neither of its parents?
It is called a mutation.
What is the primary cause of variation in the offspring of sexually reproducing organisms?
recombination of alleles
Asked in Genetics, Evolution, Genetic Engineering
What four terms have to do with genetic variation?
Forms, Population, Measurement, Mutation are the four terms with genetic variation. Maintenance in population is also another key aspect of the variation.
How does sexual production affect a variation?
Many traits are passed half from the mother and half from the father, so this allows strong variation in the offspring
Asked in Relationships, Genetics
What are the advantages or disadvantages of asexual reproduction in plants?
Asexual reproduction is when plants reproduce with only one parent. In asexual reproduction, all the offspring of the organism all have the exact DNA copy as the parent organism. So there is no variation in organisms. This can be good or bad, if the organism is built for the environment, the offspring will survive in the environment. Asexual reproduction provides no variation which means sexual reproduction produces variation in offspring so the offspring will be able to survive in different environments.
How mutation is a source of genetic variation?
Mutations create changes in the genetic code. There are different types of mutations and vary in degree of harm or even benefit to the organism. If the mutation happens to be beneficial to the organism, then it can be passed down to its offspring and thus this leads to genetic variation in the population.
What can cause variation within a species?
Reproduction produces variation in population gene pools. Every time organisms reproduce, be this sexually or asexually, the genome of the offspring is slightly offset compared to that of its parent(s). Additional factors in this may be mutagenic influences in the environment, such as radiation.
Asked in Genetics, Definitions, Algebra
Write an original definition for genetic variation?
The genetic variation of a population is a measure of how much individuals in a population differ genetically.

Science and creativity collide in exhibit showcasing 'Hallmarks of Cancer' through student projects
These represent some of the creative projects from a cancer biology course that will be on display at Newman Library Oct. 21-Nov. 11, 2013.
A new exhibit featuring student work at Newman Library highlights the science of cancer with a creative twist.
"The lifetime incidence of cancer is one in two for men and one in three for women living in the United States. Everybody has a cancer story and thus a deep emotional connection to this particular subject," said Jill Sible, assistant vice provost for undergraduate education and professor of biological sciences in the College of Science.
That can make teaching a course on cancer biology challenging – balancing the study of scientific causes of cancer while being mindful and reverent of those who have or are suffering from the disease.
Sible structured the spring course around the "Hallmarks of Cancer," six distinguishing features of the disease. Lectures on the topic, however, were few and far between.
"Dr. Sible encouraged students to develop ideas with each other," Stefanie Karangelen of Norfolk, Va., a senior majoring in biological sciences in the College of Science, said. "It was 'team-style learning' and every class had an active, high-energy aura. I always looked forward to going to this class."
"I hate working in groups and as a biology major, I had never experienced a class so revolved around group work," said Emily Sdao of Fredericksburg, Va., a senior majoring in biological sciences, in a blog for the course. "As the semester went on though, cancer biology became less of a class and more of a life experience for me. I realized that I could actually be interested in what I was learning, rather than just learning it to get a good grade on an exam. ... I found out about the importance of cooperating well with others and working as a team for the betterment of other team members, employees and clientele, not just myself."
As a final assignment, groups completed creative projects to demonstrate the Hallmarks of Cancer. Now, they will be shared with the university community in an exhibit on the second floor commons of Newman Library from Oct. 21 through Nov. 11. An opening will be held tonight, Oct. 21, at 7 p.m. Students will talk about their projects and refreshments – featuring cancer-fighting foods – will be on hand.
"This exhibit typifies what undergraduate students are capable of achieving when they are placed in the driver's seat for their educational experiences," Sible said. "The assignment was simple: demonstrate deep understanding of and add value to the Hallmarks of Cancer through a public body of work. The results are amazing."
The exhibit includes "Art of Cancer" paintings, a cookbook featuring cancer-fighting foods, a dining plan guide to eating antioxidant-rich foods on Virginia Tech's campus, a cartoon video explaining cancer to children, a children's book on cancer, a box with items to comfort a child fighting cancer, a website called "Cancer Gone Wild" with interesting information about links between animals and cancer, and a poster featuring original research.
Prince Dwamena of Lorton, Va., a senior majoring in biological sciences, worked in the group that created a cartoon video explaining cancer to children. "As a group, we thought that most of the time adults tend to just tell children cancer is a disease that kills people, but we fail to truly explain how cancer develops and how it metastasizes to different parts of the body." The video is an analogy that uses a cloning witch to demonstrate how cancer mutates and spreads in the body.
Karangelen's group worked on the original research. "Our project is trying to disprove the widely-believed idea that a gain of an oncogene and/or loss of a tumor suppressor gene leads directly to the development of cancer," Karangelen said. "Because of the cancer biology course, I am in the process of being published in a scientific journal. How exciting is that! Overall, it was one of my favorite classes that I have taken during my four years here at Virginia Tech."
The Hallmarks of Cancer exhibit will mark the second showcase of student projects featured in Newman Library this semester. "We're excited to partner with Dr. Sible and with this course. It's a very powerful exhibit and we're thrilled to host it in Newman Library," said Brian Mathews, associate dean for Learning and Outreach at University Libraries. "These endeavors signify a new direction for the University Libraries as we're looking to showcase interdisciplinary and collaborative learning projects."
Earlier this month, the University Libraries hosted a Variations of Practice exhibit featuring work from students in a "religion in American life" course. With new technology and collaborative spaces for students, the libraries are poised to feature innovative projects and facilitate new forms of learning. "We want to curate knowledge-building experiences and make them tangible and shareable," said Mathews. "Virginia Tech is bustling with scholarly energy and we want to amplify from within the libraries."
Dedicated to its motto, Ut Prosim (That I May Serve), Virginia Tech takes a hands-on, engaging approach to education, preparing scholars to be leaders in their fields and communities. As the commonwealth's most comprehensive university and its leading research institution, Virginia Tech offers 240 undergraduate and graduate degree programs to more than 31,000 students and manages a research portfolio of $513 million. The university fulfills its land-grant mission of transforming knowledge to practice through technological leadership and by fueling economic growth and job creation locally, regionally, and across Virginia.

Poetics: Difficulty 2
When I posted a short article on 'difficult poetry' a while back – and here I jump in and admit that I tend to shy away from explaining my own poetics – I didn't realise that another poet, one whose work I admire, was going to pick up the ball and run with it. Daniel Paul Marshall (no relation) has thought long and hard about the subject, gone deeper into the issues, and written more on the subject than I could hope to. I commend his article to you.
Daniel mentions Dylan Thomas. Thomas is a poet who had a great influence on my writing at one time. I didn't try to write like him, but rather I felt myself drifted along on the flotsam of his words, his transferred epithets, his god-knows-what. So I thought I would celebrate him today with one of my 'easy' poems from the past. This is a straight-down-the-line sonnet I wrote in 2008, and it uses some of Thomas's words, as quoted by Daniel.
Closing time at Laugharne
I miss you – yes I do, you boozy Celt!
I've half a mind to hear you spin a yarn
While you, with pints of stout beneath your belt,
Traipse homewards through the rainy streets of Laugharne,
From Brown's Hotel, where we propped up the bar
Till closing time. What's closing time to me
Or you? Come on – the Boathouse isn't far –
Down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack sea!
There's pen and paper ready for your muse,
A bottle, and some glasses for a toast,
We'll sit, and laugh, and rhyme a while, and booze –
But, Duw, dear lad, you're nothing but a ghost!
Can such as you go, gentle, into night,
Or did you rage against that dying light?
Sergeant Cuff names a rose 'Catherine Earnshaw'
I had a CRAFT moment and clean forgot about the April issue of Jersey Devil Press (the May issue's already out, as you would imagine!). I have a poem in that April issue, with the title Sergeant Cuff names a rose 'Catherine Earnshaw'. It was originally intended for their 'Victorian Mash-up' issue, but the editors slipped it in ahead of that. Jersey Devil Press is notoriously difficult to get something accepted by, unless you hit precisely the right note for them, so I'm belatedly proud. This is the first time I have submitted a poem to a journal for about five years (I stopped while I was writing my collection I am not a fish and I never got started again), so I'm doubly pleased.
Check out the April issue here, and maybe keep an eye on JDP as a whole, as there's always some good stuff in there.
The Two Magicians (Child 44)
I have returned, once again, to the Child Ballads. This is my reworking of the song we know in Scotland as 'The Twa Magicians'; it concerns a woman whose virginity is tried by a persistent suitor, the magical lengths to which she will go to preserve it, and the magical lengths to which he will go to take it. It exists in many versions, but in most the woman is a high-born lady and the suitor is a blacksmith. With this one I can 'hear' a tune not dissimilar to Ralph Stanley's version of 'Matty Groves', but paced up and with a picked banjo accompaniment. I love the phrasing of folk songs, I love the patterning and balance, I love the peculiar syntax and the way that narrative connections often get lost in the transmission from singer to singer, and this is what I try to capture in my adaptations.
It's of a lady highly born
and silken soft her skin,
And to her door a blacksmith came
to beg her let him in.
You lusty, dusty, coal-black smith,
sing me no lying song.
You'll never have my maidenhead
that I have kept so long.
No lusty, dusty, coal-black smith
will share my marriage bed,
I'd rather lose my young life
than lose my maidenhead.
It's she with skin as white as silk,
and he with coal-black hair
Says marry me my darling one
and be my lady fair.
It's she's become an old oak tree
all standing in the wood,
And he's become a woodman bold
to fell her where she stood.
It's she's become a salmon grey
all swimming in the book,
And he's become a fisherman
to catch her with his hook.
It's she's become a silver star
all shining in the night,
And he's become a thundercloud
to hide her out of sight.
It's she's become a tiny fly
all buzzing in the air,
And he's become a spider bug
to catch her to his lair.
It's she's become a corpse so grey
all in her coffin bound,
And he's become the cold, cold clay
to cover her around.
It's she's become a hare so swift
all running on the plain,
And he's become a greyhound tall
to fetch her back again.
It's she's become a praying nun
all dressed in grey and white,
And he's become a canting priest
to preach to her all night.
It's she's become a barquentine
all mizzen, main, and fore,
And he's become a captain bold
to steer her back to shore.
It's every step that she has took
there's he took two as well,
And where they both have vanished to
no tongue can ever tell.
There's a lot that can be said about the Burning Man festival, held every year in the Nevada desert, and not all of it is positive. But the one thing that I support is that its internal function depends on everything being free – not bought and sold, not even bartered, but free. Everything is, somehow, paid on. Now, of course I don't attend, for many, many practical reasons, but this year I have had a remote presence. Not only did I write the script for the Guild History of I Tamburisiti di FIREnze, as posted here before, but I also provided some poetry for display there.
This poem, and this, are among several that were displayed inside the portable toilets!
This one, however, was displayed in the Temple.
I have to say that I am very glad to be able to contribute something to the overall experience of Burning Man, and to do it with no thought or expectation of anything in return. It's a principle I admire, support, and wish to foster.

My Gothic spring continues…
The manuscript of KWIREBOY vs VAMPIRE is open in front of me, and my collection The Last-but-one Samurai and other stories is currently being edited. Meanwhile Angélique Jamail has featured another of my Gothic poems from 2010 on her blog…
I'm having a Gothic spring…
… amongst the snake's head fritillaries. Meanwhile…
… in 2010 I was writing all kinds of poetry, from sonnets to brutalist 'Lithopoesis'. During that year I put together a little collection of Gothic verses, many with a wry twist of humour, under the general title of The Wraith's Complaining Mouth (a line from one of the poems), with no idea whether I would present them for publication or what. They have sat in my portfolio since then. During the current 'National Poetry Month' in the USA, my friend Angélique Jamail is honouring me by featuring some of that collection, starting with the sonnet 'Selena'. Click on the picture below to be transported to her blog to read the poem and see what she says about my old Gothic work…
… and the manuscript for KWIREBOY vs VAMPIRE has been returned from the editor's desk, with suggestions and corrections for me to pore through. I plan to launch into that this weekend.
The Elvish Knight. (Child Ballad 4)
A knight came out of the fairy land
With the gold and the grey and the green-i-o
And he's asked a lady for her hand
As the willow grows in the dene-i-o
First go and fetch me your father's chest
And then put on your Sabbath best
Go down to the stable and meet me there
And it's I on a colt and you on a mare
It was she on the white and he on the bay
Three hours before the break of day
It was over the moss and over the mire
It was over the bush and over the briar
It was he as the groom and she as the bride
And they rode till the came to the cold river's side
Dismount, dismount my lady fair
For it's six pretty maids I have drowned there
Take off, take off your silken gown
For it's much too fine to sink and drown
First draw your brand and crop those thistles
For I cannot 'bide their jags and bristles
Then he's turned around for to crop them all
And she's catch'd him around the waist so small
Then she's thrown him over the water's brim
Oh I'll surely drown for I cannot swim
Lie there, lie there in the water deep
Now close your eyes and go to sleep
Then she's up on her horse and she's rode away
Now a magic bird in her window high
It's begun to prattle and begun to cry
Oh do not prattle and do not scold
And your cage shall be made of the finest gold
Now her father on hearing the bird did say
Oh why do you sing at the break of day
There came an old tomcat my life to take
And I called to my mistress so she would wake
As you know, I like composing (new) versions of Child Ballads. The poem above – song, rather – is a version of Child 4, often known by such titles as The Outlandish Knight and May Colvin and False Sir John. When I do this sort of thing, is it folklore or fakelore? You decide.
The illustration at the top of the page. is a detail from Arthur Rackham's May Colvin.
Other stuff for you to see today: My one-off artistic statement, and some guest poems on the site of my friend Mari Sanchez Cayuso – desert poem 17, desert poem 18, and desert poem 19 – definitely not Child Ballads.
It doesn't hurt to ask, but don't build your hopes up.
Over six months ago several things came to a head seemingly all at once. Firstly the flying of the Confederate flag – or rather its lowering – became an issue all over the southern states of the USA. Secondly a prominent activist was outed as trans-racial. Thirdly, Harper Lee's publishers released Go Set A Watchman.
The latter was significant to me. Harper Lee had always been a heroine of mine, for writing one of the monuments of American Literature – To Kill a Mockingbird – and then retiring. I wanted to do the Scottish equivalent, but as soon as I published my second novel that was out of the question anyway – that fact always makes me smile.
With the near-coincidence of these three things, it occurred to me to write a short story, set in 2015, in which a young female couple, one of whom is of mixed racial heritage, have a rendezvous in the Alabama town where one of them has her roots. Together they see how the town has coped with the realities of the twenty-first century. The central event in the story is the lowering of the Confederate flag at the town's courthouse; but also the couple visit, in passing, an elderly lady who can remember her childhood in the town, during the Depression. My story remained unfinished. I had planned it as a tribute to Harper Lee, and it only really made sense if I could call the elderly woman 'Jean Louise Finch'. This was, as I say, to be a serious story and a tribute, not 'fanfic'. So I did the polite thing and got in touch with Ms Lee's publishers to ask permission, leaving the story unfinished.
Well, seven months later, long after I had forgotten about the project, I got my answer. No. Not only could I not call the elderly character 'Jean Louise Finch', I could not use any character names out of To Kill A Mockingbird or Go Set A Watchman. That's fair enough, I guess. Not only that, but I could not call the town 'Maycomb'. Okay, I can see the logic in that, given the interdict on character names. But apparently I could call the town 'Monroeville' if I wanted. Well thanks, I know I could – any writer is free to set a story in a real place – but the point would be lost. In any case, seven months after the event(s), the moment for the story has passed. It remains unfinished.
But I thought I would share a passage with you, just for the heck of it. Very little else of the story has been written, and now probably won't be; so what you have here is a little insight. The accompanying pictures are of the old and new courthouses in Monroeville – and just to be clear, the new courthouse can be seen to be flying the Stars-and-Stripes and the Alabama State Flag, not the Confederate flag, which was another reason why fictionalisation was necessary. By the way, the story was to be called The Standard of the Camp, which is a reference to Numbers 1:52 and Numbers 2:2 in the Bible.
Judith parked the car a few blocks away, and we walked hand in hand, joining one of the little streams of people approaching from every direction to swell the small crowd in front of the building. It was indeed a small crowd as a proportion of the population – only a few hundred – but unless a person had a reason to wish to be there for what was, after all, only a minor piece of history when taken with the bigger picture, why make a fuss and stir yourself? To Judith and me, with our own union being also a small part of a bigger picture, there was a reason to come. There was to be no ceremony. Simply, at six o'clock, the Confederate flag was to be lowered from the flagpole outside the courthouse, never to be raised there again. It was to be an occurrence, that's all.
"Has that flag always flown here?" I asked Judith.
"Not sure," she said. "The way I heard it, it wasn't raised anywhere at all until the nineteen-twenties. There's a picture somewhere of the old courthouse during World War Two, and it had the Stars and Stripes on the flagpole, and another picture taken during the Cold War that shows the same. Someone told me that a group of local politicians pushed through some measure when Obama got elected President. But hell, I've hardly ever been down this part of town before, so I wouldn't know."
"I guess people didn't really notice until it became an issue."
"You got that right!" said someone near me.
I get that. When something is just part of the scenery you don't notice it. Then one day it's gone, maybe a tree is cut down or a building demolished or something new built, and the best you can do is wonder what's wrong with this picture. The Stars and Bars on a biker's jacket or tacked up in the back of a neighbor's garage can just be scenery. Until someone decides to become a semiotician, and – bam! Just how important to us all was disposing of this symbol? Apparently it was important to APT and WSFA as they had cameras there, so it was potentially news.
The clock at the old courthouse began to strike the hour. A side door of the newer building opened, two uniformed court bailiffs came out and began to walk diagonally across the lawn towards the flagpole. The buzz in our little crowd died down. I could see that a reporter from one of the TV stations had stationed herself between the cameras and the flagpole and was talking into a microphone. There were no salutes, there was no fuss, one of the bailiffs untied the hoist from its cleat, and began to hand-over-hand it. The flag began to descend, slowly. As it did, a knot of men nearer the front began to chant.
"USA, USA, USA…"
I could see a veteran's cap, I could see a biker's bandana, I could see a couple of hand-held Stars and Bars being waved.
"God, they say we Americans have no sense of irony, and they're right," said Judith.
"Look at another way, honey," I said. "The way these guys see it, the ideal of the United States is that the whole is not greater than its parts, there is no over-riding principle that can impose itself on a constituent state, and indeed upon the right of an individual's expression. In some way that's what they believe in. In their view of history, that's what the Confederacy was fighting to establish and the Union was trying to crush."
"That's an extraordinary opinion to come from an African-American," said a voice behind me. I looked over my shoulder at the woman who had spoken. I hadn't heard any hostility in her voice and I couldn't see any in her face.
"I guess I'm repeating something I heard from someone here in town," I said. "Don't get me wrong. To me that flag is just what they say it is – the symbol of white supremacy – and although I'm not from these parts myself, I'm glad to see it taken down. It's just that the person who gave me that idea also told me that something like nine out of every ten Confederate soldiers had never seen a black person, let alone owned one. They didn't decide what the flag meant. Somebody else did."
Judith nudged me, and I turned back. People had their iPhones out, taking pictures of the lowering. Some were taking selfies.
"You want a picture?"
"Nuh-uh. No thanks." For many reasons I did not.
The flag came to the end of its journey. The guys chanting fell silent. I stood on tiptoes to watch the two court bailiffs detach it from the hoist and fold it without any flourish. One of them tucked it under his arm and they began to walk back towards the courthouse. What would happen to it now? As long as it never flew again, did I actually care? Judith and I turned to go.
I recall a similar thing happened when I had an idea for a full-length adventure novel featuring a character created by a fellow-Scot. Her creation was not a pleasant character, he was in fact the arch-rival of her protagonist. But I saw in him the potential lead in a story about a cynical adult wizard. So I wrote to her publishers and asked for permission. And of course the answer came back in the negative. Now, I am all for authors protecting their intellectual copyright, given current social and commercial circumstances. I feel no rancor to either Harper Lee or to JKR because their people said no. Indeed, my cynical adult wizard – Agent Delta of the Chthonic Intelligence Agency© – still exists on my virtual drawing-board, is not named as anyone in any other work of fiction, inhabits a milieu nowhere near any boarding-school, and may come to life in a way that infringes no copyright.
On the other hand, when I got in touch with Irvine Welsh and asked if I could use his name as the central character in an epic poem – Welshday – in which he journeys through the city of Edinburgh in the company of an inebriate detective and a living statue, in a tribute to James Joyce's celebration of 'Bloomsday', he replied "Why not! Go for it!". All of which leads me to the point of this post: it doesn't hurt to ask. Countless authors have based novels and stories on pre-existing characters – the Flashman novels, James Bond novels by Kingsley Amis and William Boyd, and so on. Sometimes a living author will hand on the baton willingly to a successor, and the worst that can happen is that they'll say no.
As it happens, Welshday was never finished either. I know the concept of unfinished writings seem strange, almost like the idea of failure. But I draw the analogy with a painter's studio – no one finds it strange to find drawings, sketches, studies, and unfinished works there, so I have no qualms about admitting to countless novels, stories, and poems that never made it (yet!) to completion. In fact Welshday gave rise to some good stand-alone poems, so here's one of them for you. Our journeying hero and his inebriate companion visit a bar in Leith, where they are accosted by a Russian seafarer who claims to be the only survivor from the sinking of the submarine Kursk. It's a sestina:
Old Rimbaud said, "Let's go and take a glass
of whiskey in a jostling pub I know."
I, like a sodding numpty, dogged his steps,
And tracked him to a clapped-out, frowsy dive,
Where half the clientele were missing ears –
the other half were shouting to be heard!
We'd been there half an hour when I heard
a Russian sailor tap the falling glass;
he grabbed my sleeve, said "This is for your ears
alone, no other bugger has to know.
I heard my skipper calling dive-dive-dive,
as I slid down the conning-tower steps…"
Old Rimbaud, blootered, sunk down on the steps;
the Russian bellowed at me, to be heard.
"The air inside gets hotter when you dive,
the sea is slagged and dark as bottle-glass.
The ghost of every bugger that you know
floats by, and there's a pounding in your ears!"
His sliding, slootered accent hurt my ears.
I thumbed my belt and slipped some salsa steps;
I said, "Now tell me something I don't know,
no half-arsed, half-cocked tale already heard,
no shite enigma darkly in a glass,
no bonny buck-and-wing, no duck-and-dive!"
He scowled at me and, miming a crash-dive,
resumed the tale that battered at my ears,
while I, to ease my pain, sucked at my glass.
"Kolesnikov took all the proper steps,
and we went aft – perhaps you might have heard –
but when you're frigging shark-bait, boy, you know!"
I shut him up, and said, "Here's what I know –
no fucker made it home from that last dive –
They all asphyxiated, so I heard!"
He laughed, he jeered, I stopped my ringing ears,
and sat down with old Rimbaud on the steps,
to spit at all the demons in my glass.
When ghosts well from a glass you always know,
You're sitting on the steps of some sad dive,
and though you stop your ears you'll still have heard!

Edgar Moreau (* 3. duben 1994 Paříž) je francouzský violoncellista.

Životopis
Moreau se narodil v Paříži roku 1994. Ve čtyřech letech zahlédl v jednom obchodě violoncellistku, což ho natolik zaujalo, že zanedlouho se na violoncello začal učit hrát (s učitelem Carlosem Beyrisem, později Xavierem Gagnepainem). Po dvou letech ještě přidal klavír.

Od třinácti let studoval na Národní konzervatoř hudby a tance v Paříži pod vedením Philippa Mullera a od devatenácti na Kronberg Academy pod vedením Franse Helmersona (poblíž Frankfurtu). Také se zúčastnil mnoha mistrovských tříd, např. Lynn Harrell, Anner Bylsma a Miklós Perényi a dalších.

Spolupracuje s dirigenty jako Valerij Gergijev, Gustavo Dudamel či Jurij Bašmet, interprety jako jsou např. Renaud Capuçon, Bertrand Chamayou, Chatia Buniatišviliová a mnohými dalšími.

Violoncello
Jeho nástrojem je violoncello z roku 1711 vyrobené Davidem Tecchlerem.
