How a German artist became a singer-songwriter-album painter
It all started with Sawyer's YouTube video singing Fredericks.
"I was surprised," said Nina Phifer, a painter living in Hamburg. "His music is very sad, but somehow it resonates with me."
In 2015, Glenn's singer, songwriter and guitarist Sawyer Fredericks won The Voice, an American singing competition on national television. At the age of fifteen, she was the youngest winner in the show's eight-year history. He would continue to release several albums, make at least one trip to 49 US cities, and get his music to the top of the Billboard folk charts.
But in 2017 he released one of his singles "Hide Your Ghost" on YouTube, which was heard by Pififfer. For inspiration, Fiffer posted a chart on Instagram about how the song influenced her and tweeted how much she loved her music.
"None of my friends heard of it," he said.
She tagged Frederick on Instagram, who saw the drawing.
"It was so amazing that the song went on," Fredericks said.
Fredericks and his then manager, his mother Kirsten, called Phifer and asked him if he was interested in making the album.
"I jumped out of bed," Pfeiffer said. "I was so excited."
The album "Hide Your Ghost" changed his career.
"He always drew. He said," You were very good at the age of 11. "I copied everything, especially the rest of the food and vegetables. This was my refuge – a safe place. "
Born in Germany, he also played the violin and at the age of 16 was a member of a 10-piece orchestra that attended high schools in New Jersey. Although she completed technical training in Hamburg, she was interested in nutrition and received degrees in Germany and Australia. I am still working on my masters degree from the University of Glasgow, Scotland. On the way she said that she had learned English – mostly self-taught. In 2011, at the age of 23, she decided to become a freelance graphic designer and, until Fredericks Call, worked mostly in printing such as brochures and advertisements.

The call to him was particularly exciting because he is a fan of his music.
She said, "It's amazing to work with people who really like you and are able to add some of their own things to their success."
The first was to listen to the songs that were about to be recorded.
"His music is dark and sometimes depressing, but my illustrations are colorful and optimistic." "But I love the dark side of it." "The pictures express how I feel about his music," she said.
He sent six drawings that reflected the idea that Frederick thought of collecting water and fire together. The drawing chosen for the CD cover features a female figure hovering above her head in an imaginary garden of scorched leaves. The other five sketches were kept in a booklet, which contained the lyrics of each song, and each song contained a picture that Fredericks requested.
Some sketches at the time reflected Frederick's concerns, including the election of a new president and environmental issues such as the Keystone XL pipeline, his mother said. On the envelope in the booklet is a picture of a woman in fetal position, with a deep dripping mass that can be interpreted as oil. Inside are barren trees, animal-like figures and other imaginary images.
Fredericks said he was pleased with the result.
"I took the lyrics of a song and put it in his artwork," he said, laughing that he was not inspired by reading science fiction films, but occasionally by watching fictional films.
Five methods
One of the techniques used in his work was Pfeiffer creating images on album covers in Adobe Photoshop to allow for more color and manipulation. And that other pictures are made of pen and paper or watercolor.

The entire process took six weeks and was the first experience for the two of them – the first album they portrayed, and the first time they used the artwork for them.
He said, "I used photography in my first two albums: Sawyer Fredericks (2015) and Good Storm (2016)." "I loved working with Nina."
The next album, Phool Aapke Liye, which was released in 2019, ran for more than two months.
"I was qualified about this CD," Frederick said with a laugh. "I saw a lot of pictures back and forth. I saw someone walking on the ground as if they were planting seeds on some red and gold in the artwork. I intentionally did not want it man or woman. And I wanted tones like the flowers that grow on the family farm: sunflowers, "Winds, dripping honey. I wanted every drawing to capture the emotion of the song."
Hermaphrodite shows a grass that grows from its back while digging near a rivulet. The flowers overflow with bees, bees and butterflies. The booklet has an image of a woman on the cover in a fetal position dripping with golden honey at the bottom and a sunflower with long hair in a knee figure and from behind, twisted branches and butterflies with honey balls. A hand.
Pfeiffer said that the bisexual character was "a bit intimidating. It's a new kind of creature."
But she likes this process despite its length.
"He had a lot of ideas and wanted to include them. This was a detailed result.
"It was a really good job with Nina," Fredericks said. "I wish I had done this earlier [on the other albums]. I am a perfectionist and I want a style that moves forward. '

Currently, he stated that he has no plans for another album because he did not have enough new material.
"But if I do, I plan to work with Nina," he said.

Experienced Tank Professionals, Tanksystems.Com, has that experience, call on us to assist you in designing the storage of the most aggressive chemicals on Earth.
Chemical tanks are the most important liquid storage vessels in the modern world, incorporated in chemical storage tank systems.
Resistance to chemistry is the most basic requirement for a chemical tank. The design goal is to construct a container system element (tank) that will provide a safe and long term storage of a given chemical. Good practices in design dictate a consideration for estimating the longevity of the storage vessel in a given set of parameters. Preparing the basis for estimation involves knowledge of both the chemical's potentials for corrosion or other adverse effects on potential vessel materials.
Once a vessel is purchased and installed, a projected life span should be placed on a repeat calendar of projected equipment life expectations, monitoring you process design's effects on all equipment and plumbing, assessment must be maintained and progression confirmed through annual component inspections.
Chemical concentrations, pressures and temperatures are critical to tank design, these elements form a matrix that determines the resistance potential of a given material of construction.
Other considerations in design include, but should not be limited to: Chemicals that may produce heat (exothermic reaction) when brought together, chemicals that are more aggressive as a result of being compounded (a given chemical recipe), compound characteristics must be studied to determine the correct material of construction for a given chemical tank. A compound is not a discrete chemical, as such a chemical chart result cannot be used for the incremental chemicals.
Chemical tanks, vessels and adjacent plumbing components all are in need of special consideration during the process design.
A chemical's profile characteristics define materials of construction for not only the tank, but the pumps, mixers, piping, valves and tank fitting materials of construction, but also venting air to the astmophere (acids, caustics, hydrocarbons, to name a few) or into scrubber systems.
The corrosion resistance of Polyethylene plastic tanks is vast, it is a perfect material for a great many Acids, Caustics and Bleach solutions.
Polyethylene plastic storage tanks may provide maintenance free years of service. However, polyethylene has no ability to handle temperature above 140F, or pressure and must be atmospherically vented, they must not be used in pressure or vacuum conditions. Therefore other combinations of metallurgy, plastics and polymers require consideration.
Specialty fiberglass resins will contain a great number of aggressive chemicals, again individual chemical and chemical compounds must be have their resistance considered.

Hooverphonic Mesmerize at the Islington Assembly Hall
Hooverphonic continues to be one of the most eclectic and versatile groups on the planet. Hailing from Belgium, the core duo of the group, Alex Callier and Raymond Geerts, are the essence of cool as they blend elements of electropop, jazz, rock, and of course trip-hop.
When I heard that the group would be playing only one UK show in London at the Islington Assembly Hall, I jumped at the chance to see them. The last time I saw a Hooverphonic show was in support of the band's 2000 masterpiece The Magnificent Tree. Geike Arnaert was the vocalist on this record as well as on the previous record, the critically acclaimed Blue Wonder Powder Milk, and she complimented the sonic landscapes of Callier and Geerts perfectly. I would argue that she had one of the best voices in the electronica scene at this time and it was incredible to watch the band evolve and explore new territory.
Fast forward to 2018 and Hooverphonic returns with new music and a new vocalist, Luka Cruysberghs. Cruysberghs was the winner of Belgium's The Voice contest, which she won in 2017 alongside coach Alex Callier. While it might sound like a leap of faith to trust a reality TV show winner as the frontwoman and voice of the band with such large shoes to fill, she's off to a great start. This would be a trial by fire in front of a sold-out London crowd.
Her voice is stellar, and she nailed Hooverphonic classics such as "2 Wicky," "Inhaler," and the crossover smash "Mad About You," but there was an element of maturity that might have been missing based on the experience and confidence of the previous singers. That said, I do like the mystique she brings to the group, and it will be interesting to see how she grows and makes the role her own.
If that weren't enough of a surprise, to start the show the band would also share some new music with the capacity crowd. "Romantic" is the latest single from the band, and it's brilliant. It brings the best of the classic Hooverphonic sound into a new era with an element of being a pop crossover hit. It's one of those songs that's so unique, radio will likely have no idea what to do with it. But based on the buzz around the recent shows, the band seem completely re-energized, and this track could be the one to remind their fans of how much these electronic pop pioneers still have to offer.

As summer approaches we look to spending more time living and entertaining in our outdoor spaces. Here's our expert guide to giving yours an affordable revamp.
There has never been a greater range of options to live and entertain in your outdoor spaces. From big names to designer brands, companies are creating furniture and fabrics to withstand the Australian climate all year round .
"Outdoor fabrics have seen a shift from a singular focus on durability and longevity, to a focus that includes comfort and style in the outdoor space" says Rebecca Fox from Eco Outdoors.
"There are so many inexpensive or DIY ways to up the ante in the outdoor area"
Refresh your covers. Covers can get mouldy if not maintained throughout the cooler months. Eco Outdoor now offer cut-to-length fabric so if you're wanting to refresh an existing lounge or daybed or breathe new life into your boat cushions, there will be a suitable fabric for you.
Give everything a good old scrub. Some people think that outdoor furniture doesn't need cleaning or maintenance. But just as you vacuum your carpet or wash your car, outdoor furniture needs love too. Eco Outdoor have an extensive furniture care guide on their website. The top-line - a bit of soapy water and some elbow grease.
Get styling. Purchase some accessories to give your furniture a facelift without investing too much cash. Add some new cushions or throws to your lounge, some big citronella candles or fresh linen napkins to the dining table and your outdoor space will feel brand new.
Light the way. Create your own candles by saving jars and tin cans or purchase a nice long string of festoon lights to hang from the ceiling. Bring a bit of magic to your outdoor space when the sun sets.
Pop in plants. Head to the local garden centre and pick up a few new pots and plants. It's amazing what a difference some greenery can make to any space.

Thousands of Jobs and Billions of Dollars at Stake Under MTA's Coronavirus Budget
By Dan Rivoli New York City
PUBLISHED 3:48 PM ET Oct. 28, 2020 PUBLISHED 3:48 PM EDT Oct. 28, 2020
Thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in economic activity are at stake if the MTA enacts steep transit cuts and fare hikes because of the coronavirus pandemic, a new study says.
The report, from NYU Rudin Center for Transportation and a consulting firm called Appleseed, outlined the economic punch the region would take without a $12 billion federal bailout the MTA is seeking.
A new report says 450,000 jobs and $50 billion in lost earnings in the MTA region are at risk without a federal bailout of the transit agency
MTA is seeking $12 billion in federal aid to make up lost revenue from ridership and taxes
The MTA will release two budget proposals next month: one with massive cuts and fare hikes, and the other assuming a federal bailout
"Simply put, without reliable and safe subway, bus and commuter rail services, the future of the city and region is in doubt. Students will not be able to get to school, essential workers to their jobs, and offices will remain empty," Mitchell Moss, director of the NYU Rudin Center, said in a statement.
For the MTA region, which includes Long Island and counties north of the city, the cuts could mean:
-450,000 jobs lost by 2022
-$50 billion in lost earnings
-$65 billion reduction in the region's Gross Domestic Product, the value of goods and services
"Those are staggering numbers, never before seen," MTA Chairman Pat Foye said at a news conference following the board meeting.
The coronavirus pandemic caused a massive decline in ridership, still down on the subway by more than 70% from last year.
Foye, at Wednesday's monthly board meeting, called the crisis facing the agency a "steep fiscal cliff," a "five-alarm fire" and "fiscal tsunami."
The MTA is threatening to slash 40% subway and bus service, cut commuter rail service in half, defer construction projects, raise fares and tolls higher than anticipated. The MTA could cut 8,000 positions.
The MTA is still figuring out specifics on the cuts and fare hikes, though.
Major construction projects, like fitting stations with new elevators, are on hold, meaning fewer jobs. A pullback of nearly $5 billion in spending on these kinds of construction projects next year would total more than 23,000 jobs and $2 billion in earnings.
Next month, the MTA plans to present two budget proposals for next year: one assuming a $12 billion federal bailout, and one without a bailout, requiring major cuts and layoffs.
In the meantime, the MTA will try to borrow nearly $3 billion from a U.S. Federal Reserve loan program.
But it is not enough.
"We need federal support or else devastating things will have to happen," MTA Chief Financial Officer Bob Foran said.


Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic - Walking in Mathland Ideas for teaching high school and middle school math. Innovative approaches that address the changing ways that today's student learns material.
I presented at my county's professional development day on incorporating reading and writing in the high school math classroom. There are great ways to use both tools in our math classrooms. I do not know even close to all the different sources but I would love to hear how you use reading and writing in your classroom.
