A Brief Historical past Of The Music Game Style
Home/ A Brief Historical past Of The Music Game Style
By Abigail November 30, 2018 Category: Rhythm gamesTags: brief, historical, music, style
As a result of for a enjoyable game, nothing beats a good old style beat. The ensuing sport inspired players to develop their abilities alongside a bunch of buddies, making it a more intimate expertise than different rhythm games that had come before. Currently, she teaches at Joppa View Elementary School in Perry Hall, which serves as a lighthouse college" that pilots a know-how initiative with 1:1 gadgets for all students in grades K-5.
I do not suppose I am going to ever get tired of this recreation. Unfortunately, while these games garnered devoted cult followings, they failed to really ignite the genre in North America. Following the release of Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero 2, the developer of the Guitar Hero games Harmonix and their distributer RedOctane parted firm.
Not all rhythm games use a conventional interface of discrete inputs. It will be referred to as Rocksmith, giving players the chance to plug in their own guitars to play together with a rhythm recreation format. This one comes with forty free tracks in story mode and you should buy extra as in-app purchases in the form of tune packs.
It additionally spawned multiple sequels and proved that rhythm video games could possibly be financially success. The sport Crypt of the NecroDancer makes use of a mechanic where the player controls the primary character in sync with the soundtrack's beat. It does not depend on the classic step lane like most rhythm games.
With a story protecting a variety of emotions, Deemo's soundtrack is a glorious mixture of genres, from classical instrumental to hip-hop, mild and ethereal pop to guitar-driven steel. I by no means preorder video games anymore, but I would preorder a Steam version the day it is introduced.

Animal Crossing's big update has sucked me back in
New Horizons feels new again
By Andrew Webster Nov 5, 2021, 2:06pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Animal Crossing's big update has sucked me back in
It's been a long time since I've been surprised by Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I played the Nintendo Switch game regularly for the first year it was out, checking in virtually every day to see how my village was progressing. I experienced every holiday and special event and spent my evenings catching fish and tending to my gardens before bed. But, despite a handful of updates, I eventually got bored. There's only so many sea bass you can catch before it becomes monotonous. I haven't touched the game in eight months (as my villagers have been quick to point out), but the latest, biggest, and final update has really sucked me back into island life.
Perhaps the most surprising part of this is that I haven't even experienced the most notable parts of the update yet. I haven't purchased the first paid expansion, which lets you help decorate other characters' homes, and the much-anticipated café addition to my museum is still under construction until tomorrow. I'm excited for both of these — I sincerely love Brewster the barista — but it's the smaller changes that have helped refresh a game that had been feeling stale for me.
For instance, New Horizons now has cooking. It works a lot like regular crafting: you get a recipe, collect the ingredients, and then go to a stove to put it all together. The food is adorable and detailed, and it makes my kitchen look a lot more cozy. But more importantly, it has changed my relationship with my island. At this point, I've caught nearly every fish and collected plenty of fruit. But now, they have new possibilities. Catching a fish could mean getting a new recipe, even if it's the typically unwanted sea bass. I finally have a reason to go diving for seaweed. I also have a new incentive to collect everything; once you complete a collection in the museum, you can buy a cool poster full of fossils or bugs.
Likewise, the new camera app makes it a lot more fun to wander around the island and snap pics. There's a first-person viewpoint that lets you see things from a new perspective, as well as a tripod so you can take cute pics with your villagers. Ordinances, which return from Animal Crossing: New Leaf, let you make your island a little cleaner or ensure your animals stay up late to match your own schedule. You will also get visitors now as villagers will show up at your house unannounced to hang out. The most surprising bonus, for me, has been that I finally have a reason to visit Harv's island because you can now set up a kind of marketplace full of folks like Leif and his plant shop and a new fortune teller.
These changes make the game feel new and interesting again, and I haven't even dug into many of the aspects, like growing gyroids, hanging out in a coffee shop, or collecting new furniture. It's also nice that the game forces you to pace yourself. At Harv's co-op, for instance, you can only add one business each day, and they all cost 100,000 bells to set up. It'll be a while before I have a fully functioning market, but this hasn't bothered me. I forgot how pleasant it can be to play the game for 20 minutes, get a few chores done, and then return the next day.
It's not just one feature that has me excited about New Horizons again. Instead, it's all of these smaller details that make the day-to-day of playing much more interesting. I'm not sure how long it'll last, and it's sad that this is the game's last hurrah. But I know I'll be sticking around my island for at least long enough to get that fish poster.

M. David Stone Brother HL-5250DN The Brother HL-5250DN is a very good choice for heavy-duty use in a home office or as a shared printer in a small office.
Compact size. Fast performance. Excellent text and good graphics. Ethernet connection.
The Brother HL-5250DN is a very good choice for heavy-duty use in a home office or as a shared printer in a small office.
If you're in the market for a monochrome laser to act as the workhorse of your small office—or if you have heavy-duty personal printing needs—be sure to look at the Brother HL-5250DN ($250 street). It's small enough—9.7 by 14.6 by 15.1 inches (HWD) and 21.6 pounds—to share a desk with a personal printer but offers enough performance and capability for a busy small office.
The HL-5250DN is built around a 30-page-per-minute engine and includes an Ethernet port for easy connection to a network. A built-in duplexer, a 250-page paper tray, and a 50-page multipurpose tray ensure ample paper handling. For heavy-duty printing, you can boost the maximum capacity to 800 sheets by adding two 250-sheet trays ($200 street each).
Physical setup is the same as most personal monochrome lasers: Just install the toner cartridge, load paper, and plug in the cables. Network setup is standard, with a fully automated installation routine that finds the printer on the network and installs the driver for you.
We've found that Brother laser printers typically perform well on our speed tests, and the HL-5250DN is no exception. On our business applications suite (timed with QualityLogic's hardware and software, www.qualitylogic.com), the HL-5250DN took 6 minutes flat, making it significantly faster than anything in its price class and only marginally slower than the 5:45 total for the far more expensive Ricoh Aficio AP410, our Editors' Choice.
Even if you need to print at an unusually small font size, the HL-5250DN can handle it. Text quality was excellent, with most fonts easily readable at 4 points, almost all easily readable at 5 points, and one highly stylized font readable only at 8 points and up. Graphics output is about what you'd expect for a monochrome laser in this class—good enough for internal business use but probably not for brochures or advertising that clients or customers will see. There were no major problems in graphics, just an assortment of minor flaws.
Output on photos, though, was less impressive. The quality was near the bottom of the scale for monochrome lasers, with visible dithering, a tendency to lose details in light and dark areas of an image, and minor posterization (with shading changing suddenly where it should change gradually). Again, this will probably suffice for a company newsletter, but it was a bit below the norm.
If you need a monochrome laser, the HL-5250DN offers lots of bang for the buck, making it a good choice for your small-office or for heavy-duty personal use.
Compare this and other monochrome laser printers in our side by side comparison table..
Don't miss the Brother HL-5250DN's Ratings and Test Results.
Bottom Line: The Brother HL-5250DN is a very good choice for heavy-duty use in a home office or as a shared printer in a small office.

Natalie Portman says she and Jessica Simpson are good: 'No need for beef between women'
Erin Jensen
Natalie Portman squashed any notions that she and Jessica Simpson are feuding, following an exchange between the two on Instagram earlier this month.
As a guest on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" Tuesday, the "Vox Lux" actress was asked by a caller if she and the former pop star had spoken offline since their spat.
"No, only on," she told the viewer, "and I have only respect and good feelings for her."
Cohen complimented what he saw as a "respectful" dialogue on social media between the pair.
Taking it in, Portman added, "Well, also I think there's no need for beef between women. We're all in the same society and living with the same pressures, and we're allies..."
Simpson called out the Oscar-winning actress on Dec. 5 on social media, after Portman mentioned the "I Wanna Love You Forever" singer, in an interview with USA TODAY.
"I remember being a teenager, and there was Jessica Simpson on the cover of a magazine saying 'I'm a virgin' while wearing a bikini, and I was confused. Like, I don't know what this is trying to tell me as a woman, as a girl," Portman said at the time.
Simpson fired back that she was "disappointed" by Portman's comments.
"As public figures, we both know our image is not totally in our control at all times, and that the industry we work in often tries to define us and box us in," Simpson wrote. "However, I was taught to be myself and honor the different ways all women express themselves, which is why I believed then – and I believe now – that being sexy in a bikini and being proud of my body are not synonymous with having sex."
Portman responded to Simpson in the comments section of her Instagram post.
"Thank you for your words. I completely agree with you that a woman should be allowed to dress however she likes and behave however she likes and not be judged," Portman said.
"I only meant to say I was confused – as a girl coming of age in the public eye around the same time – by the media's mixed messaged about how girls and women were supposed to behave," Portman said in an attempt to clarify her earlier comments. "I didn't mean to shame you and I'm sorry for any hurt my words may have caused. I have nothing but respect for your talent and your voice that you use to encourage and empower women all over the globe."

A GOOD NEWS story: Draft Horse, Donkey Released During Wildfire Found 'Singed And Hungry, But Healthy'
Sunday, October 25th, 2020 | Filed under Horse Stories
With all the fires out West, a good story is nice to hear….
Click to read original story
By Logan SmithOctober 24, 2020 at 7:30 pm
BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) — It may become the iconic photo of 2020, the symbol of the worst wildfire season in Colorado's history. And it doesn't contain a lick of flame.
Only the licking of hands.
It shows an equine odd couple – Adam, the draft horse, and Ennis, the donkey – greeting a trio of humans who were not sure what to find in the remains of a ranch overrun by fire the day before.
(credit: Boulder County Parks & Open Space)
Adam and Ennis were turned loose by their owner at the behest of first responders trying to save as many people and animals as possible on Saturday, October 17th, the day the Calwood Fire started in the foothills northwest of Boulder. High wind propelled the blaze through the treetops eastward.
Jason Vroman, a Senior Ranger with Boulder County Parks and Open Space, was patrolling near Broomfield at the time evacuations were ordered by fire incident command. He set course for the populated foothills in the fire's path and radioed ahead for colleagues to begin the task of pulling people out out of the Heil Valley Ranch area.
By the time he got there, "The fire had blown up. The sky was filled with smoke."
Senior Ranger Jason Vroman (credit: Jason Vroman)
His crews had already taken care of most everyone, including a group of high schoolers from a mountain biking club that was repairing trail, and a birthday party underway at a picnic shelter.
But their work wasn't finished.
Another ranger told him, "Jason, I'm good, but the Ochs's are in trouble.'"
Flames were coming over the hillside.
Eric Garner, a friend of Travis Ochs, sits on the "incinerated" remains of Ochs's ATV. Ochs said he left the machine in order to rescue his horses as the Calwood Fire moved into the area on Saturday, Oct. 17th. (credit: Travis Ochs)
Travis Ochs told CBS4 he has evacuated many times before, talking as if the act is a natural part of mountain life much like shoveling sidewalks is to a suburbanite.
But this one caught him off guard.
"We didn't realize just how big the fire was."

As Ranger Vroman drove the final stretch of road to the Ochs ranch, he could see fire coming down the hillside above. A select few trees next to the road were already burning.
He found Ochs and his sister leading Adam the draft horse, Ennis the donkey, and four other off-halter horses toward the first of two horse trailers – neither of which had a truck on it yet.
"They started hooking up the horse trailer and I said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa; we gotta go," Vroman said. "The fire was coming so quickly, I was concerned it would cut off our escape route."
Ochs and his sister raced past the trailers and continued down the road.
"We were going as fast as the donkey could," Vroman said.
"I didn't have time to be scared," Ochs added. "We were just running."
Vroman drove ahead in his Parks truck and radioed other officers with a pair of two-horse trailers, instructing them to intercept the group downhill.

Vroman held open the doors of one of the trailers as the Ochs parade emerged from the smoke. The trailers were too obviously small for Adam, so as the trailers left with the four other horses, Ochs, his sister, and Adam and Ennis resumed their march toward safety.
More than once, Vroman politely mentioned releasing the animals in order to get themselves out of danger.
"I brought it up many times before, to let him know it was an option in my head. It wasn't in his," Vroman said. "I totally get it."
The smoke and wind "was whipping," as Vroman described it. "What they say about a wildfire sounding like a train? It's true. It was an intense moment at the time."

Then Vroman noticed spot fires ahead of them, through the smoke. He radioed his horse trailer crews which confirmed his concerns.
"That was my trigger point," he said. "I advised Travis, 'We need to get out, let the horses go, and get in the truck.' My voice changed. I wasn't as nice as before. I added a few expletives."
Ochs doesn't remember Vroman's verbage, but does recall the tone. And the urgency.
It was to the effect of, "You gotta let go of that horse and get in the car," Ochs guessed.
"I think he felt bad he had to be so harsh," Ochs added. "(But) he was really good. He was just doing his job."
Whatever the wording, it worked. Travis's sister told him later, "I don't know what he said to you, but you turned around and let go of that horse."

Anyone can understand it wasn't an easy decision. But it was especially difficult for the man who had brought the two animals together when they were each six months old. Adam was purchased at a draft horse auction. Ennis came from a ranch in Allenspark. The pair had grown up together and grown old together, both now 14 years of age.
Now, by turning them loose in a wildfire, Ochs knew there was a good chance they would die together.

Vroman recalls driving out of the forest and seeing Ochs get out of his truck, two halter leads in his hands that were no longer attached to his beloved odd couple, and looking back into the smoke.
"I knew I couldn't go back and get them," Ochs said. "I was pretty horrified at that point."
Vroman couldn't let him venture back in. And Vroman didn't think the animals would survive, either.
"I lost a lot of sleep over that."
RELATED Calwood Fire Burns More Than 7,000 Acres In Boulder County On The Day It Starts
The next morning, Sunday, three rangers and a firefighter ventured onto the Ochs property. One of the Ochs's three homes was gone, as was a log cabin dating back to the 1800s. The hay barn was completely destroyed.
But the odd couple was there.
"They were a little singed and hungry, but healthy," Vroman was told. They had licked at the hands of the firefighters, looking for food and water.
Ochs was allowed to return the following day.
"Yes, they were very glad to see me," he said. "They were thrilled."
"I could see the entire forest burned completely. Rocks exploded, it was so hot."

Vroman returned, too, but thought the fire had burned in a patchwork pattern, perhaps a reflection of the speed of the wind that carried it faster than it could consume fuels.
The operation, like everything firefighters are doing this year, was a team effort.
"There's so many people doing heroic things out there."
RELATED Calwood Fire Now The Largest Wildfire Boulder County Has Ever Seen
"I'm just thankful we were all able to get out of there alive," he said. "There were a couple times I didn't think that was going to happen. It was a happy ending to an otherwise dark and scary day."

Ochs said Adam and Ennis are a big skittish toward strangers following the adventure. They've spent the past few days standing in a small island of grass inside a sea of scorched grassland in their pasture.
They share it with deer.

What a wonderful story. It must have been so hard for the owner to let them go. I know he had to but I know it could not have been an easy decision. I wonder how much doubt and pain was in his heart and head until he found out that they had come through with flying colors. I am so happy for him as I can tell by the pictures that they are his family.
Thanks for sharing this.

SpaceX is targeting launch of Bangabandhu Satellite-1 on Thursday, May 10 from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 4:42 p.m. EDT, or 20:42 UTC. A backup launch window opens on Friday, May 11 at 4:14 p.m. EDT, or 20:14 UTC, and closes at 6:21 p.m. EDT, or 22:21 UTC. Bangabandhu Satellite-1 will be deployed into a geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) approximately 33 minutes after launch.
The Bangabandhu Satellite-1 mission will be the first to utilize Falcon 9 Block 5, the final substantial upgrade to SpaceX's Falcon 9 launch vehicle. Falcon 9 Block 5 is designed to be capable of 10 or more flights with very limited refurbishment as SpaceX continues to strive for rapid reusability and extremely high reliability. Following stage separation, SpaceX will attempt to land Falcon 9's first stage on the "Of Course I Still Love You" droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. You can watch the live launch webcast below and find out more about the mission in our press kit.

The deep fjord waters or the sea outside Senja are rich in many species of fish, but the quality of huge cod and halibut fishing is exceptional, and the opportunities to an angler are immense.
Due to its geographical position this fishing beat is rather sheltered from the wind, and you can start fishing immediately next to your front door.


We had the most relaxing week end at this lovely B&B. It was our first visit (an Italian and a Briton, both living in the UK), and we didn't know anyone who had been there: we just found it on the Lonely Planet page, and I can say it really does live up to the description and pictures on the website. The house is beautiful, and the pool has a wonderful view on the surrounding green hills. Our room was spacious, comfortable, quiet, and finely decorated, with an independent entrance which allowed privacy. The buffet breakfast came in generous portions, and everything - from yogurt and typically local cakes to the prosciutto and mozzarella toast - tasted so fresh. Both the room and the breakfast really are good value for money. Most importantly, what made our stay so special was the cosy, warm atmosphere the owner, Elisabetta, was able to create, and the generosity with which she welcomed us, took care of us and the other guests, and shared advices about places to visit, as well as stories about her house and pets... we both felt sad when we had to leave, and we would love to go back! Overall really highly recommended, whether you are looking for relax or outdoor sports (many of the guests are mountain bike lovers), or just a good accommodation to explore the nearby Adriatic coast and towns like San Marino and San Leo, between Romagna and le Marche.


With the increasing influx of Mainland Chinese migrants in Singapore, tensions have arisen between citizens and new migrants, who are seen as threats to social cohesion. It has become urgent for the Singaporean Chinese to establish a unique culture and identity they can call their own. Food is the main lens in which this paper examines how young naturalised Chinese and Singaporean Chinese undergraduates shape their identities through centring and decentring processes and the utilisation of food tactics. The paper also examines how both groups use food to manage differences between them; and how they have managed to negotiate their own unique form of Chineseness as identity.

After months of lodging on some of the continent's hottest playlists, thanks to his unforgettable 2022 hit 'Balance It' – which raked in over 20M streams on Boomplay alone – and later its Mr Eazi-assisted remix, D Jay is ready to deliver his next chart-topping delight: 'Morning Stress.'

Today, GRAMMY® Award-winning, global superstar Meghan Trainor recharges, re-energizes, and revamps her global smash "Made You Look" with a brand new Official Remix featuring Kim Petras. Listen to "Made You Look (Feat. Kim Petras)" HERE. The original highlighted her acclaimed new album, Takin' It Back, out now. Listen to Takin' It Back HERE.
About the track, Petras commented, "I had 'Made You Look' stuck in my head for months. It's just so catchy and I felt like the song was like a warm hug. So I loved it right away, and then when I got asked to jump on it, I was really, really excited. I think Meghan is such a great pop songwriter, so it was an incredible experience. I've never worked with an artist who wanted to track me and comp my vocals and do it all together. She really is like a little angel and such a treasure and deserves everything that's coming her way with the song and I just feel so excited and honored to be a part of it. We collaborated in a really special way that I won't forget."
This notably marks the first collaboration between Trainor and rising pop powerhouse Petras. Together, they lock into a bouncy call-and-response as Petras urges "Don't be shy, just put your hands on me," as Trainor's towering runs ring out. It adds a whole new dimension to the fan favorite.
On the collaboration, Trainor gushes, "Kim is an icon. I have been a fan for a very long time and I am so excited to have her on 'Made You Look.' We had such a fun time in the studio together and she added the perfect energy to the song. She is a queen and I cannot wait for everyone to hear her voice on this song! She really brought it to a whole new level."
"Made You Look" has exploded as a runaway hit and a major moment for Trainor. It has tallied over 353 million global streams. Simultaneously, the music video has clocked north of 87 million YouTube views. At radio, it continues to hold strong in the Top 5 at Pop.
She continues to breathe new life into the track. In addition to the Joel Corry Remix, she capped off the holidays with "Made You Look (A Cappella)." It gathered 6.2 million YouTube views on the accompanying video featuring friends Sri, Scott Hoying, Elyse Myers, and Chris Olsen.
So far, the song has soundtracked over 4 million TikTok videos and 308K YouTube Shorts. Apple Music touted it at #1 on its A LIST POP Playlist, and Spotify placed it on Today's Top Hits Presents Best Hit Songs of 2022 and the Best Pop Songs of 2022. Billboard applauded it as "inescapable," and Entertainment Tonight chatted with her about the track.
It sets the stage for more to come from Meghan Trainor in 2023!
Clearly intent on making waves in 2023, iconic rap duo Rae Sremmurd releases "Sucka or Something." Listen HERE via Eardrummer Records/Interscope Records. As usual, the Mississippi brothers employ their dizzying lyricism over innovative production to craft an unforgettable earworm. The track follows their New Year's release "Torpedo" and is accompanied by a vibrant D.I.Y.-themed music video. Watch it HERE.
"How you gonna try to play me like a sucka or something?" Swae Lee ponders over a bombastic beat. "How you gonna try to play me when I know what's up? Feel like I'm 6' 5" 'cause the money is up." Laid-back yet typically larger-than-life, "Sucka or Something" is a reminder that even though the duo has done it all—they still haven't lost any of their creativity or fire that made them superstars.
The casual ambition of the song is reflected in the dynamic video. The grainy footage showcases the brothers' performance skills, but it's an eclectic, collaged concoction that ebbs and flows with the mellow track. The deftly edited imagery conveys Rae Sremmurd'sunique bond and nods at their humble beginnings. Watch the visual HERE.
Rae Sremmurd has established themselves as the preeminent melodicists in hip-hop, racking up hit singles from the moment they landed with 2014's "No Flex Zone."
The duo's first two albums, 2015's SremmLife and the following year's SremmLife 2, were each certified Platinum, and the latter spawned the group's first No. 1 hit, the Gucci Mane-assisted "Black Beatles." SR3MM, from 2018, was groundbreaking in its own way, a triple-disc effort that saw each brother get his own LP's worth of space to work solo, before tying them back together.
Most recently, Rae Sremmurd was announced as the headliner for this year's NFL Pro Bowl taking place on February 5th at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The entire 7 minute performance will be televised across ESPN, ABC, and Disney XD. Fans can also catch the duo hitting the Coachella stage this April for the first time in 7 years.

Ajebutter22 on 'Soundtrack To The Good Life'
The album is about enjoying, about having a good time and living soft. I started really making the album, doubling down, a few years – like, the COVID period – and the world was really bleak, man. Everywhere was sad, everybody was feeling really down and depressed, and I didn't want to make music that was overly deep or had too many think pieces. I just wanted us to be able to take our mind to somewhere where we're having a good time.
Ajebutter22 on Showcasing Up-And-Coming Producers
I was in charge of the sound, like this is the first album I executive-produced 100% by myself. So I went out of my way to find producers online, on like different digital platforms and guess what? You see some of the producers that are doing crazy things, they're Nigerian and nobody knows, nobody has heard of them. Some of these guys have 1000 followers, no big name but they're really good and I'm like you know what, I have to put these guys on. I have to show the world we have all this talent here as well.
Ajebutter22 on His Time Away From Music
Me and BOJ dropped 'Make E No Cause Fight' volume 1 and 2 up until 2019, so I didn't feel like I wasn't making music, and in 2020 was like the COVID year so I didn't really feel absent, but yeah I also withdrew a little bit from the music scene, because I was focusing on some things on the tech side.
Before it was a lot easier because I was working in a company as an employee, and now I'm a CEO. It's crazy doing that, being responsible for people, actually being the main man. It's like being from a player on the team to being the captain. I'm the captain now, so it's not easy.

British Sea Power Lyrics
It's not psychedelic, it's got many merits
It's not psychedelic, nuclear submarine
Darling, I think it's a dream
Your causes, they make me feel so mad
I'm not yellow, oh no, I'm steely black
Oh, I hate peaceniks, I'm ready to attack
Let's take out London, let's take out all of that
'Cause it's not psychedelic, it's got many merits
Nuclear submarine
Thin black sail, oh, thin black sail
Thin black sail, thin black sail
So let me make this clear

British Sea PowerAlternative
Sea Power, previously known as British Sea Power, are a six-piece indie rock band based in Brighton, England, although three of the band hail originally from Kendal in Cumbria. Their style encompasses sweeping and often epic guitar pop with more visceral, angular and esoteric noises and instruments. Critics have likened their sound to a variety of groups, from The Cure to Pixies. They have released five albums and a number of EPs (most on Rough Trade) since they formed in 2000. The band is currently comprised of: Read Full BioSea Power, previously known as British Sea Power, are a six-piece indie rock band based in Brighton, England, although three of the band hail originally from Kendal in Cumbria. Their style encompasses sweeping and often epic guitar pop with more visceral, angular and esoteric noises and instruments. Critics have likened their sound to a variety of groups, from The Cure to Pixies. They have released five albums and a number of EPs (most on Rough Trade) since they formed in 2000. The band is currently comprised of:
Yan (Jan Scott Wilkinson) - Vocals, guitar
Noble (Martin Noble) - Guitar
Hamilton (Neil Hamilton Wilkinson) - Bass, vocals, guitar
Wood (Matthew Wood) - Drum
Phil Sumner - Cornet, Keyboards
Abi Fry - Viola
Yan, Hamilton and Wood are school friends from Kendal in Cumbria. They were in a number of bands together while at school, but after finishing his exams Yan moved to study at Reading University, where he met guitarist Noble. A few years later Hamilton and Wood moved down to join them and form a band.
They played some gigs and produced a 4 track demo in Reading as British Air Powers, before relocating to Brighton in search of a more vibrant music scene. "British Sea Power" was actually the name of one of these demo tracks, and was eventually reworked into Carrion. In Brighton, BSP amassed a strong local following, due mainly to their own club night called "Club Sea Power". The club nights featured many different support bands, and other forms of entertainment such as a 1930s fashion show, and were most frequently hosted at the Freebutt and the Lift (the latter has now closed down).
Their debut single, Fear of Drowning, was issued in limited numbers of their own Golden Chariot label. The artwork for the B side "A Wooden Horse" borrows heavily from the dust cover of the 1950 book "The Wooden Horse" that details the escape of Allied POWs during WWII. Geoff Travis of Rough Trade Records saw the band live and in September 2001 signed them to his label. A number of singles were issued on the label, and Eamon (Eamon Hamilton) was recruited to play live keyboards in autumn 2002.
The Decline of British Sea Power, the band's debut album, was released in June 2003 to critical acclaim. A single from the album, "Carrion", became the band's first Top 40 single. The album only charted in the lower reaches of the UK Album Chart, but turned out to be a word of mouth success, shipping well over 60,000 copies over the following two years and allowing them to play sell-out UK tours to venues of over 1,000 people.
The follow-up, Open Season, was released in early April 2005, and also enjoyed wide critical praise. It showcased a more accessible, produced sound and charted at #13 in the UK Albums Chart. Lead single It Ended on an Oily Stage charted at #18 in the UK Singles Chart a week earlier.
British Sea Power have a reputation for elaborate and well-thought out live shows and won the 2004 Time Out London Live Band of the Year award. The stage is often decorated with foliage and plastic birds and sets generally finish with a semi-improvised song called "Rock in A", which sometimes lasts for over 20 minutes. Various members often climb riggings and tear down the foliage, Eamon walks around the audience beating his marching drum, and a ten-foot bear, Ursine Ultra, occasionally makes an appearance - often taking a beating from various band members. This has become one of the signatures of the band. Their tours often include unusual venues such as the Scillonian Club on the Isles of Scilly, Grasmere Village Hall, the St. John Boste Social Club in Kendal, Cumbria and Carnglaze Caverns in Cornwall.
The band have built up an eccentric image in interviews and press releases; some of which is based on fact, other times merely whimsical building of outward personas. This has included giving journalists grid references at which to meet them, and expressing obsessions with Field Marshal Montgomery and bird watching.
The band has a fiercely loyal and devoted hardcore fanbase, sometimes referred to as the Third Battalion.
At the beginning of 2006, it was announced that Eamon had left British Sea Power to concentrate on his own band Brakes. The group spent part of late 2006 working on new material in Montréal, and are preparing a DVD.
In 2007, American Laundromat Records announced that British Sea Power would record a version of the Pixies' "Caribou" for an album called "Dig For Fire - A Tribute To Pixies."
In October 2007, the band went on tour throughout the east coast of America to showcase their new 5-track EP, Krankenhaus EP. In November 2007, they toured a variety of unusual locations in the UK including a seaside cafe in Saltdean, East Sussex; a ferry across the River Mersey, Liverpool; the Tan Hill Inn, the UK's highest inn; All Saints Church in Newcastle-upon-Tyne; and White Mischief, an indoor festival mixing live bands with unusual vaudeville acts.
Their Krankenhaus? EP was released digitally for purchasable download in October 2007 and was released on CD and vinyl on November the 20th. Their third album, Do You Like Rock Music? was released on 14th January 2008 in the U.K. and scheduled for release on 12th February 2008 in the U.S. Prior to their tour in support of Do You Like Rock Music? (visiting Ireland, UK, Belgium, Holland, Germany and US), Wood injured his back and had to be temporarily replaced by Tom White of Electric Soft Parade and Brakes fame.
In January 2008 the keyboard and cornet player ended up in hospital after being knocked unconscious when he attempted a stage dive. The crowd at Leeds Irish Centre failed to catch Phil Sumner, who jumped off a 12-foot PA system landing head first. The press department at Rough Trade Records reported "The impact knocked him out. Thankfully an ambulance was quickly summoned and he was whisked away, bloody and unconscious and despite a concussion, a broken molar and a maze of stitches in his chin, a very groggy Phil is expected to make a full recovery." In spite of this, he returned to the stage with the rest of the band a day later in Kendal.
In February 2008, the band appeared on Later with Jools Holland, playing Waving Flags, Canvey Island and No Lucifer. They were ably accompanied by a small number of the London Bulgarian Choir and a display of Cumbrian wrestling. The band are also scheduled to play at Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, Latitude, T in the Park and Bestival.
In May 2009, British Sea Power released their fourth album, Man of Aran. Several tracks on this album are remakes of older songs, such as the main riff from North Hanging Rock which features in the new track Boy Vertiginous. The album comes paired with a DVD containing the Robert J. Flaherty film 'Man of Aran', a silent film with music from the album dubbed in.
In October 2010, British Sea Power released the seven track 'Zeus' ep and announced the release of their next album, 'Valhalla Dancehall' in January 2011.
In November 2011, the band started hosting a regular club evening in Brighton called "Krankenhaus" that recalled some of their Club British Sea Power events. DJ sets, friends of the band and general BSP hijinx.
On 9 August 2021, British Sea Power announced they were changing their name to Sea Power. In a statement the band explained:
"In recent times there's been a rise in a certain kind of nationalism in this world – an isolationist, antagonistic nationalism that we don't want to run any risk of being confused with. It's become apparent that it's possible to misapprehend the name British Sea Power, particularly if someone isn't familiar with the band or their recordings. We've always been internationalist in our mindset, something made clear in songs like Waving Flags, an anthem to pan-European idealism. We always wanted to be an internationalist band but maybe having a specific nation state in our name wasn't the cleverest way to demonstrate that. We very much hope the band's audience won't be affronted by this adjustment to the name. We'd like to make it clear that removing the word "British" does NOT indicate any aversion to the British Isles whatsoever. We all feel immensely fortunate to have grown up in these islands. Several or our songs are filled with love and awe for this place. We do love these lands. We all still live within the British Isles, but we are now just Sea Power. We feel the name change comes in part from the band's audience – who at a good show will shout out, "Sea Power! Sea Power!" Maybe this name change has been there for years, shouted in our ears. It's just taken us this long to realise – to hear what was there in front of us… "

Being stuck on a snowy road or having a snowy lawn can be fun for the kids, but can be frustrating for vehicle owners when parking their car, and this is why most people own two stage snow blowers.
Driving through excessive snow can cause a couple of vehicular problems so they must drive the snow out like mowing the lawn.
Excessive snow can vary from region to region but snow will always fall to the ground and not let you park your vehicle decently. Shoveling snow is alright for people who have light to moderate snowfall, but can be tiring if you need to pick up a large heap of snow in one go. You will need a machine for that.
What is two stage snow blower?
How does two stage snow blower work?
Single stage vs Two stage snow blower?
A two-stage snow blower is a large device that easily blows the snow off your lawn. However, these blowers are expensive devices and will cause a bit of burden on your pocket, but they would do you a marvelous service. Also, another problem with these blowers is that they require a lot of storage space and you will need to designate a separate space for storing these snow blowers. For that matter garages are good storage places for these blowers.
Whatever your story be, you should start looking for the right snow blower when the weather is still warm and there is no sign of a snowstorm coming in. Some might find it crazy to allocate a summer day or two to shop for equipment that you will essentially put to use on the coldest days of the year. You should remember that the simplest lifehack is to plan on and buying stuff before the need arises one good example of planning on. To better explain it, let us take a look at the advantages of buying a snow blower before fall.
The first advantage of ordering a new snow blower before there is any snow around is about avoiding the hassle. If you wait until it is all white between your garage and the street, you will have little if any time to research about various gas and electric snow blower models and odds are that you will order one without really knowing about it. That will significantly bring down your chances for getting the best two stage snow blower for your needs.
There is also a price advantage in shopping for two stage snow blowers in summer. Prices of winter equipment soar in winter just like the price of lawn mowers in spring. By replacing your snow blower before fall, you can show off your new machine to your neighbors after the first snowfall and then watch them pay $200 for a $150 tool.

Before you decide on purchasing a snow blower, consider your needs and situation in terms of the area and terrain where you are going to use the blower.
How big is the area that must be cleared? How deep is the snow? The type of snow in your area will also determine which type of snow blower you should get.
When you need to get rid of light or medium snow in small areas around the house, a driveway or a small garden, a single-stage snow blower will get the job done. However, if you're dealing with larger areas and snow of more than 8 inches deep and you want to save yourself the agony of hurting your back, you should upgrade to a more powerful two-stage snow blower. A two-stage snow blower is typically used on gravel driveways, slopes, heavily compacted snow, deep snowfall and driveways that are very steep.
You will first have to understand how a single-stage snow blower work before you can understand how a two-stage model work. The two main elements of a single-stage snow blower are the auger which is the rotating helical screw blade, and the chute which is more or less a tube or shaft through which the snow moves and is discarded. The spinning auger pulls the snow in and then forces it out through the discharge chute.
When it comes to two-stage snow blowers, there are different models with different functions to choose from. Stage-two snow blowers are larger and heavier than the single-stage models. They can remove any type of snow. With a two-stage snow blower, the removal process has two stages. It has a heavy-duty, saw-like, auger, with blades usually made of steel. These blades have a continuous ribbon design which enables it to pull in larger and heavier chunks of snow and break it up into smaller, more manageable pieces.
This is stage one. The auger thus collects the snow, directs it to the centre and then to the impeller, which throws it up and out of the chute, which is stage two.
The snow is removed much faster this way. In addition to a chute, the two-stage snow blower has an impeller – a part which moves something by means of rotation. The impeller guides the chunks of snow out through the top discharge chute.
Where a single-stage snow blower can remove snow of about 8 inches deep, a two-stage snow blower can be used on snow as deep as 12 inches. It also throws the snow much further from the cleared areas; some models can throw snow as far as 50 feet. Its power-assisted wheels make it easier to operate when working on large areas.
Because the auger doesn't make contact with the surface, the snow is not scraped to the ground. However, these blowers have skid shoes to remove surface snow. The auger won't be damaged by small stones and gravel. This blower can be used on unpaved surfaces, because their augers don't touch the ground.
Smaller two-stage snow blowers are electrically powered, but the larger models are powered by gas. Because they are so large and heavy, it can be difficult for the user to handle and push it with ease. Therefore, the self-propelled two-stage blower uses the power of the engine or electric motor to steer the wheels forward and backwards.
A dual-trigger steering mechanism enables the user to release the left or right wheel when the blower has to be turned. The speed and direction can be adjusted by the user and some larger models even have power steering. Most two-stage models have a Free Hand Control function which enables the user to operate it with one hand only, leaving the other hand free to perform other functions, like adjusting the speed.
The chute-mounted rotation handle is used to change the direction of the chute, while a dash mounted crank enables the user to manage the direction in which the snow will be thrown.
Everybody know snow blower or snow thrower is a machine which helps to remove the snow from any particular areas like driveway or sidewalk.
But plenty of you don't know the difference between two stage and single stage snow blower. The three stage snow blower is also there in the industry.
Many of them say three stage snow blower is simply awesome. Yes I agree, it is really awesome if you have large amount of snows. It has really high speed and throws large amount of snow. But for 2 – 3 inch snow, you no need to buy three stage blower, you can go for single stage. Because three stage is waste of money for small amount of snows.
Similarly the two stage is used for more than 8 inch snow and up to 36 inches. Different models are there. Due to the model the size and performance may vary.
So, Which snow blower is good for you?
Single stage snow blower is lightweight and compact. It is good if you use it in a small areas like driveway, sidewalk or walkways. If you are use it in a heavy snow then it won't work. You can use it up-to 8 inches or less snow.
Two stage snow blower is heavier and you can use it for large areas. Maximum number of snows can be easily removed by this type.
The augur in single stage snow blower collects snow and direct the snow to the discharge chute. It discharge the snow in a single motion. That is why it is called single stage snow blower. An auger is the corkscrew-shaped component of a snowblower responsible for sucking up the snow.
The Augur makes contact with the surface. So, you can't be use this on a dirt area. Paved surface area is the best for single stage snow blower. If you want to remove snow in a small area with clear surface. You can use single stage snow blower. It can remove snow quickly.
Two stage snow blower has self propelled transmission with forward and reverse speed.
Different that single stage, there are two distinct stage of snow removal. That is why it is called as two stage. Two stage snow blower collects the snow by fan and discharge it very fast and farther away. So, that you can eliminate lots of snow in a minimum period of time. Also, you can use this blower on any surface like dirt or gravel.
Two stage snow blower is really great machine for handling all types of snow on any surface.
Three stage snow blower also there. It has turbo charged fan. It eliminates high number of snows easily.
Single stage snow blower is compact in size. So that the cost of the blower is less compared to two stage and three stage blowers.
Horse power is the main difference between two stage and single stage. Even two stage snow blowers has different HP according to the model. The low end model and high end models are available in the market.
The HP starts with 4 and it goes up-to 10 for two stage snow throwers.
So, from all these difference you can clearly understand what is two stage snow blower and what is single stage snow blower. You may be know about three stage snow blowers.
To summarize, the Briggs and Stratton 1696619 Snow Thrower is our winner for the best two stage snow blower simply because it has all of the features to look for in any snow workhorse. It has the ideal specs that are in between those with extremely heavy snowfall and those with moderate snowfall in their area.
I need commercial two stage snow blower under 1000$. In driveways, there are lots of snows are filled. I want to quickly remove them all. So, can anybody suggest good snow blower for my house?
I know gas powered snow blower is not convenient to setup. But it has more power to blow the snows. That is why I need electric snow blower.

In another interesting article from the Mainichi Daily News reports that otaku culture in Akihabara is under threat. Traditionally every Sunday the main strip through Akihabara is closed to traffic, allowing pedestrians to rule the roads, bands to play in the street and ladies dressed in maid costumes to handout pamphlets for events otaku will be interested in.
But recently the police have been stopping bands' performances and prevented maids from handing out their leaflets causing many otaku to complain that they're being persecuted. On Sundays the street is frequently packed with cosplayers and fans taking photographs. The article reports that the cosplayers and photographers are "they're at least wary, if not afraid, of the cops".
Akihabara is seen as many as the centre of otaku culture, being famed for all it's high tech electrical gadgets sold, and is almost always filmed on tourist TV shows when they visit Tokyo.
The article states that the local police are following the law to the letter, pointing out that the rules say streets can't be used for anything else than walking over.
Otaku News hope this issue is addressed soon, as the bands, maids and other freaky attractions are a big part of otaku culuture and part of the charm of Akihabara.

A major new campaign to promote Wales as an excellent place for doctors, including GPs, and their families, to train, work and live has been launched by First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones.
The Welsh Government made a clear commitment in its Programme for Government to continue to invest in primary care and to take action to attract and train more GPs, nurses and other health professionals to Wales.
The new national and international campaign will complement work already being undertaken by health boards to recruit staff. It will support GPs who express an interest in working in Wales, including relocating with their families, while providing helpful information on what they can expect when coming to the country. The campaign will be aimed at medical students yet to choose a specialty as well as trainees coming to the end of their training, to encourage them to stay to live and work in Wales. It will also appeal to recently qualified GPs, those in the early stages of their career and experienced GPs who may wish to work differently, or return to the workforce in Wales.
To support the launch of the campaign a new and easily accessible source of information on general practice in Wales is being launched with telephone and online support for those who express an interest in returning to practice in Wales. This single point of contact will also provide recruitment assistance directly to practices.
Training as a GP in areas which have had long term difficulty filling places is also going to be encouraged through the introduction of an incentive scheme. This bonded scheme will see trainees receive a total of £20,000 on the understanding they remain in the area in which they took a training placement whilst they train and for one year of practice afterwards. A second incentive of a one-off payment of £2,000 to be paid to all GP specialty training programme trainees to help cover their final exams following study in Wales is also being introduced. Incentives will be in place in time for the August 2017 intake.
The Wales Deanery, alongside the Welsh Government, Welsh Health Boards and Trusts also today announced a new Education Contract for junior doctors in Wales. The contract, a UK first, guarantees ring-fenced time for learning written into their working week to ensure all trainee doctors in Wales will have access to a wide range of educational opportunities to support their career development.

How To Return To Work After Maternity Leave
Maternity leave is over. What now?
By Rosamund Dean
I recently returned to the Red office after a year on maternity leave (as those who remember my pregnancy diary might know). And now every day brings a cacophony of conflicting emotions.
I love wearing heels and having breakfast meetings and thinking about things that aren't baby-related. And I am bloody delighted that cleaning up under the high chair after every meal is someone else's problem during the week. But the flipside is that I now know the piercing, tear-jerking heartache of walking away from the nursery, towards the office, having just had my crying child's arms prised away from around my neck.
Don't get me wrong, I am fully aware of how lucky I am, not only to have had a whole year off (particularly after seeing the brilliant John Oliver on US maternity laws), but also to have a job that I love to return to. It's just that, when I look at my friends with kids, whether they work or not, they always feel that they're not doing it quite right. And, even though my husband and I split childcare equally, the guilt just doesn't seem to hit men in the same way.
Rosamund and her son, Ezra
A turning point for me came when I went to buy a new bra (because nothing says getting your shit together more than a great-fitting new bra, right?). I explained to the 50something French woman who measured me up in John Lewis that I was returning to work after maternity leave, and she produced a selection of beautiful lacy underwired bras by Stella McCartney and Heidi Klum Intimates.
'How is zat?' she asked, tightening up the straps in that brisk way that bra-fitting women do. 'Actually,' I said, 'it's a bit uncomfortable, maybe it's too tight?' She stepped back, pouted and then shrugged (she was very French).
'It should be a little bit uncomfortable.' She gestured towards the shapeless maternity bra I had just taken off and announced: 'For the past year, you have been wearing slippers. It is time to wear shoes again.'
It was the perfect metaphor, because leaving your child with a stranger and going back to work is hard, of course it is. But, in the words of Chris Martin, nobody said it was easy. And nothing that's worth doing ever is. So, from now on, I'll be wearing shoes again, and doing my best not to feel guilty about it.
