The goals of the JET office are to guide and lead work that achieves systemic equity in all areas of the educational institution through transformation of campus culture.
transformative learning and teaching
Methodologies and curricula will be supported with new frameworks of understanding that engage faculty, staff, students, and community partners. Signature programs include:
Anti-Racism Dialogues are meant to increase our capacity to have courageous conversations about race and racism. This approach is grounded in the belief that individual change is simultaneous to addressing institutional racism.
Tyrone Maurice Adderley Lecture in response to the suicide of student Tyrone Maurice Aderley, a talented and popular painting student, MassArt made a commitment to increasing its recognition of multiple viewpoints and the presentation of artists outside the mainstream. In his memory, faculty organized a lecture series to bring artists from underrepresented groups to give an honorary lecture to share their work and wisdom.
Thriving Classrooms is a series of workshops aimed at building community and collaboration between departments. Resources will be provided to navigate issues impacting students in the classroom, studios, and beyond where everyone can thrive.
Artward Bound and Compass light a pathway to art and design education by supporting first generation college students with resources, opportunities and support from high school (Artward Bound) to college (Compass). Artward Bound and Compass develop rigorous creative and critical thinking skills in young artists and designers to thrive as their most authentic selves.
Artward Bound is a free four-year college access program that prepares 9-12th grade Boston-area students interested in art and design with the artistic, academic, and life skills needed to thrive in college and beyond.
Compass Program is a mentoring program that supports undergraduate students with advising, tutoring, and navigating issues of transition in academic, creative, social, cultural and personal areas.
Retention and Mentoring
JET facilitates programmatic connections that support curricular and co-curricular retention and mentoring initiatives for students, staff, and faculty. JET support extends but is not limited to those who identify as ALAANA, BIPOC, DACA, LGBTQ, and international community members.
JET Student Leaders are integral to the achievements of the JET office, its programs and initiatives. They provide outreach and support to their peers and provide critical feedback to aid the college in achieving its goals for equity and inclusion.
RESOURCES & OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE MASSART COMMUNITY
The JET Pack (accessible with MassArt NetID and password) is a resource-based initiative to nurture, heal, and inspire. It acknowledges that sometimes, to move forward together we might have to take time apart. It offers programs and resources to personally engage in these types of spaces. We hope that these will set a framework for robust learning opportunities for our community.
The JET Pack is a living collection that is constantly being updated with information. If you have a resource or opportunity that you would like to share with us, then please let us know!
Email jet@massart.edu with the subject: JET Pack Resource/Opportunity.
Racism, response, and renewal
Fighting racism cannot be done by one person, one initiative, one policy, or one program. Our hope is that every one of us at MassArt can respond to this important challenge for ourselves, and to realize our strength as a community in this work.
In response to a list of demands by the Artists of Color Union, MassArt has compiled a summary of progress as we look to the future and our strategic plan.

The Ozark 3515BTEC-BK Electro Cutaway Resonator is a great instrument for players wanting a great-looking and cool sounding resonator they can take to the stage. The wicked matte black finish gives this otherwise vintage-styled guitar modern edge. The singlecoil lipstick pickup gives a great bright and dynamic tone that's perfect for slide. If you're looking for an electro resonator with a difference, look no further than the Ozark 3515BTEC-BK.


Hyderabad: The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) released the exam schedule with dates for various common entrance tests – CET examinations to be held in the Andhra Pradesh. While the Engineering, Agriculture, Medical Common Entrance Test – EAMCET 2010 will be conducted by the Jawaharlal Nehru Technical University (JNTU) as usual from May 30, the PGCET will be conducted by Osmania University on June 4.
ECET will be held on May 24 by JNTU and the Integrated Common Entrance Test- ICET on May 27 by Andhra University.
The other exams include Ed-CET, which will be conducted by Osmania University on June 13 and the PECET to be held by Acharya Nagarjuna University, Guntur on June 17.
LAWCET and PGLCET will be conducted by the Sri Venkateshwara University, Tirupati on June 10.
According to Times of India report, M D Christopher, secretary of the state council of higher education, said there was a proposal to make EAMCET question papers available to students. Earlier, the students had to write their answers in the same booklet that had questions. However, last year the EAMCET question paper had a few errors and the candidates had to be awarded as many as 14 marks. So this year, there is a proposal to give students answer sheets along with the question paper.
Another proposal to allow late comers to appear for the EAMCET exams is also being considered. "No students are allowed to enter the exam hall even five minutes late, but a proposal was mooted to allow a student into the hall within 15 minutes of the beginning of the exam. But both these decisions would be taken by the EAMCET committee, which will announce them within a week," said Christopher.

Q: Show Currency Symbol after values I am using CultureInfo methods to successfully format all different currencies into their correct format.
But on some exceptions, such as EUR and SEK currencies I need to be able to add them after the value. At the moment my CultureInfo is formatting them in the following way: "SEK 1.00,00" when it needs to be "1.00,00 SEK".
Any help is appreciated.

A: All you need is to change the NumberFormatInfo.CurrencyPositivePattern and NumberFormatInfo.CurrencyNegativePattern properties for the culture.
Just clone the original culture:
CultureInfo swedish = new CultureInfo("sv-SE");
swedish = (CultureInfo)swedish.Clone();
swedish.NumberFormat.CurrencyPositivePattern = 3;
swedish.NumberFormat.CurrencyNegativePattern = 3;

and then
var value = 123.99M;
var result = value.ToString("C", swedish);

should give you desired result. This should get you:

123,99 kr

A: Be careful about the CurrencyNegativePattern
This code
CultureInfo swedish = new CultureInfo("sv-SE");
swedish = (CultureInfo)swedish.Clone();
swedish.NumberFormat.CurrencyPositivePattern = 3;
swedish.NumberFormat.CurrencyNegativePattern = 3;

Will give you

134,99 kr.
kr.134,99kr.-

Changing CurrencyNegativePattern to 8
swedish.NumberFormat.CurrencyNegativePattern = 8;

Will give you

134,99 kr.
-134,99 kr.

Actress Serinda Swan Voices Support for The Million Nets Pledge on World Refugee Day
Tomorrow, June 20, is World Refugee Day and Serinda Swan, actress of USA's hit summer show, Graceland, is calling for fans and global health advocates to support the millions of women and children living as refugees around the world.
Serinda, who plays DEA agent Paige Arkin, is a long-time Nothing But Nets Champion and hopes to protect refugee families from malaria. She traveled with Nothing But Nets to the Kakuma Refugee Camp on the border of South Sudan and witnessed firsthand the devastating impacts malaria had on families.
Today, there are more than 50 million refugees and families displaced by violence around the world – and 60 percent of them live in areas where malaria is transmitted. Malaria is a major threat to refugees – it is a leading cause of death where Nothing But Nets works. This year, we launched The Million Nets Pledge to protect refugee families from malaria with one million bednets by 2016. Our ambitious two-year goal aims to raise $10 million to protect vulnerable people fleeing violence in Central Africa.
This World Refugee Day, Nothing But Nets aims to deliver 10,000 life-saving bednets to protect vulnerable families from this preventable disease. NRS International, a family-owned company that develops and manufactures products for the humanitarian aid, public health and development sectors and its subsidiary, TANA Netting, have joined The Million Nets Pledge and will be matching contributions to Nothing But Nets through the end of June with an in-kind gift of 5,000 nets to protect refugee families from malaria.
Children and refugee families across Africa have faced unspeakable odds. After all they have endured and survived, these families should not have to fear dying from a mosquito bite. We are committed to protecting them so they can rebuild, be healthy, and thrive.
Anyone can join The Million Nets Pledge and help to send one million nets to protect refugee families from malaria. Go to www.NothingButNets.net/MillionNetsPledge to take the pledge and help save lives.

As mentioned before, we are not getting this. Of course.
Since it is a real German VW... And it looks really good.
I know the Touareg is a more expensive model than our Atlas. Still, just look at that interior.
It is about 100 times nicer than the poor Atlas.
VW finally has a great looking midsize crossover in the new Touareg and it is not coming to the U.S. market! Hard to believe VW decision. They think the Atlas and the Tiguan going sell in this crossover area but the not the new Touareg? EU and China is still being sold. I think VW needs to rethink this!
Whoa! I am impressed, very impressed. Looks great inside and out for any car, let alone a Volkswagen.
I hate VW!!!! God I hate them!!!
One of the best looking interiors, and a great looking SUV and I can not have it.
Did I mention I hate VW?
Well, it is contagious. You replace the VW badge with Audi's, and voila.
It's not a real German vehicle as it is built outside Germany.


Two master thieves go at odds with one another as one sets the other up for a crime. The first, a suave pro who does his job and then hides in his own privacy, listening to old jazz records and caring for his ailing dog, Wally. The other is a local gangster with a taste for the finer life, who decides to eliminate the competition. This ignites a war between the two men and their aides. An angry mob boss and a female police officer try to sort the mess before things get too out of hand.

Walking with Dinosaurs - not in my list of things to do this year, but will sure watch this new film from 20th Century Fox.
What do you know about dinosaurs? They are big. That's it. Here are some facts about dinosaurs:
Your nose will be thankful you don't live in the Late Jurassic Period: A single Diplodocus fart would have produced enough gas to fill a hot air balloon.
Some members of a pterosaur group called the azhdarchids would have had jaws up to 2.5 meters long. Although they had no teeth, their jaw size is more than enough to swallow a child whole.
Some azhdarchid pterosaurs were the size of a small plane.
Coprolites (fossilised poop) belonging to Tyrannosaurus rex (a relative of Gorgosaurus) have been found measuring 2 liters (3.5 pints) in volume – the size of a big bottle of your favorite fizzy drink.
Some of the more out-there theories explaining the dinosaurs' extinction include that they all became blind due to cataracts caused by the hot, sunny climate and a plague of caterpillars that ate all the vegetation.
Another Late Jurassic dinosaur, Stegosaurus, had a brain the size of a kitten's (even though its body weighed more than 2700 kittens).
Ankylosaurs were plant-eaters. They probably consumed the equivalent of over 700 carrots per day, in the form of low growing plants like ferns, cycads and perhaps even flowering plants, which were diversifying during the Cretaceous period.
The film's fine-feathered hero Alex belongs to a group of toothed birds that lived alongside the dinosaurs. The birds we know today have lost their teeth. However, scientists have successfully made chickens grow teeth just like Alex's in laboratory experiments. This suggests the genes that code for teeth are still hidden away in the DNA of living birds!
Chirostenotes had no teeth. Instead it had a beak and an elongated second finger, which some scientists believe was used to probe crevices for grubs and armored amphibians.
Some scientists once believed that Edmontosaurus could hop like a kangaroo. The discovery of more complete skeletons shows this view to be incorrect.
Scientists have identified a fossil of Edmontosaurus skin that is preserved so intricately that you can see a scar.
Gorgosaurus teeth were banana shaped but serrated like a carving knife – perfect for sawing into flesh.
Dinosaurs could grow brain tumors! One Gorgosaurus fossil has been uncovered with a spongy mass in its skull cavity. This would have made the animal a bit wobbly and accident prone when it was alive.
The most amazing dinosaur experience of all time will happen only on the big screen as we see dino Patchi take center stage during the Late Cretaceous era in "Walking with Dinosaurs: The 3D Movie." In the last 15 years since the movie was being made, dinosaur remains have been discovered from every continent, proving that these giant creatures thrived on every continent in the Mesozoic era. The remains of old and young alike suggests that the massive death were believed to be caused by catastrophic occurrences such as volcanic eruptions, diseases, climate change or heavenly bodies that struck the earth millions of years ago.
Dinosaur remains have been found on all continents and in all environments across the prehistoric globe. The Troodons found in Alaska which will be seen in the movie had large eyes and were much bigger than other troodon species elsewhere in the world. Their large eyes gave them an advantage in the polar dark winter, which allowed them to become the most successful predator there, and so they gradually got bigger.
Informed of these recent paleontological findings, "Walking with Dinosaurs: The 3D Movie" brings to life newly discovered dinosaurs in a unique and highly authentic way. Directors Neil Nightingale and Barry Cook have re-created one of the last great dinosaur eras in stunning detail, bringing to life on screen a world filled with fascinating creatures such as Pterosaurs, gigantic flying reptiles that once soared through Earth's skies and Edmontosaurus, huge duck billed dinosaurs that could only be done justice on the big screen.
Using cutting edge technology, the filmmakers brought paleontologists together with world-class animators and paleo-artists to bring incredible life-like dinosaurs into theatres as they've never been captured before.
Set in Alaska about four million years before the Tyrannosaurus Rex, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS is a rousing, compelling adventure full of humor and heartwarming moments as you see our hero Patchi draw on all of his courage, optimism and tenacity, risking his life for his loved ones and finding the inner strength he needs to survive.
As we follow his epic journey we meet a cast of colorful characters. There's Alex (an Alexornis), a colorful and gregarious bird, who likes to hold court. Scowler, Patchi's ambitious older brother intent on becoming the leader of the herd and Juniper, a feisty female Pachyrhinosaurus who is swept into the adventure.
For the first time in movie history, audiences will truly see and feel what it was like when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. "Walking with Dinosaurs: The 3D Movie" is the ultimate immersive big-screen experience that will introduce new and unique dinosaurs that are more real than ever before.
Walk with the dinosaurs on January 8, 2014 in this thrilling and epic prehistoric adventure, where an underdog dinosaur triumphs against all odds to become a hero for the ages.

Gov. Larry Hogan with a map of Maryland's Third Congressional District, considered among the most gerrymandered in the country.
Take the politics out of political maps, Hogan panel urges.
A state commission charged with reviewing how Maryland draws its congressional and legislative districts is recommending that politicians cede their power to an independent panel.
The Maryland Redistricting Reform Commission proposes that an independent panel draw the maps — and it would be prohibited from looking at party registration data or voting history while doing its work.
"These reforms would put Maryland in the front ranks of redistricting reform and establish an independent, balanced approach to creating congressional and state legislative districts," the commission wrote in a report issued Tuesday.
Republican Gov. Larry Hogan created the commission in August to examine how Maryland could better redraw its congressional and General Assembly district maps after the next U.S. Census. Any changes to the current process would require approval from the General Assembly, which is controlled by Democrats wary of Hogan's recommendations.
Maryland's current system gives the power to draw congressional districts to the General Assembly and the power to draw state legislative districts to the governor. The state's congressional boundaries have been widely criticized as gerrymandered to benefit the Democrats, who hold a 2-1 voter registration advantage in Maryland.
Hogan said the "overwhelming majority" of state residents want nonpartisan redistricting.
"There's a handful of professional politicians who want to keep things the way the are," Hogan told reporters Tuesday. "We're the most gerrymandered state in the country. We're hoping that they'll listen to some reason."
The latest political map, drawn in 2011 under then-Gov. Martin O'Malley, was upheld by voters at the polls in a referendum. Federal judges have three times upheld it as constitutional, albeit deeply contorted. One judge compared Maryland's 3rd Congressional District to "a broken-winged pterodactyl, lying prostrate across the center of the state."
Hogan's commission also recommended that future districts be contiguous and follow the boundaries of cities and counties.
The proposed redistricting panel would have nine members — three Democrats, three Republicans and three voters not affiliated with a party — that would draw boundaries and send the maps to the legislature for a vote. If the legislature or the governor rejected the maps, the panel would have a second chance to offer a plan. If that second attempt was rejected, the Maryland Court of Appeals would have the final say in drawing a map.
The proposal was welcomed by state Republicans and the government watchdog group Common Cause Maryland, whose spokeswoman called the current system "rigged."
"We applaud their final recommendations," Jennifer Bevan-Dangel, executive director of Common Cause, said in an email. She said the commission "has created a road map for getting the insider politics out of our redistricting process."
The Maryland Democratic Party criticized the commission's work and said Republicans are guilty of gerrymandering when they hold the political power.
"Larry Hogan's hand-picked commissioners received their marching orders on the day they were appointed," Pat Murray, Maryland Democratic Party executive director, said in a statement. "The outcome was predetermined by a small group of Republican insiders, the process lacked transparency, and the recommendations are fundamentally flawed."
Any effort to implement the commission's recommendations would need the support of House Speaker Michael E. Busch and Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, both Democrats. Aides said neither had reviewed the report and would not be available to comment.
In the past, Miller has called congressional redistricting reform a national issue, saying Republican-controlled states have gerrymandered districts to benefit their party. Miller has said Maryland should change its process only if other states do.
The Maryland Republican Party, meanwhile, suggested that Democrats were complaining just because they didn't get their way.
"The Democrat Party is upset today because they could not control the outcome ofMaryland Redistricting Reform Commission's recommendations like they have controlled redistricting in Maryland for the last 100 years," said Joe Cluster, executive director of the Maryland Republican Party.
"It's about time that the citizens of Maryland take control of this process and take it away from the politicians who have continued to look after their own interests and not the citizens of Maryland," he said.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear an argument from a Maryland man that the redistricting process in 2011 violated the First Amendment rights of Republicans who were marginalized into minority districts.

Seniors Focus

Seniors are smart eno…
seniors, tech, technology, program, tablet, digital, mobile phone, online
We can all agree that technology has fast become an integral part of our lives, for both young and old. Seniors are being encouraged by well meaning family members and the community as a whole to get online and become savvy users of technology. The recent global pandemic has highlighted how useful technology is in keeping us informed and connected to our loved ones. Having a reasonably up-to-date mobile phone, laptop or tablet can help prevent loneliness and isolation and can also be a great emergency tool. In most cases, learning from an in-store demo just isn't enough. Many community service organisations run programs to teach seniors how to use technology confidently in everyday life. Neha Shukla coordinates a seniors tech program in her local area which she describes as "an innovative technology training program especially designed for those aged over 65". The program supports first time users who don't own a device as well as those who already have a device but need some support to become confident users. It covers basic key skills such as using emails, video calls, fundamentals of social media, online shopping and banking, with a heavy focus on online safety. "The training is adapted for each participant and to cater for all skills levels from beginners to those who have prior experience but need to sharpen their digital skills," said Neha. "For those who don't have a device, an android tablet is provided to eligible participants. "Community volunteers provide support and training to help boost the confidence of the elderly in using their digital skills." The type of device for a senior is a matter of individual preference. Most on the current market will cater to any level of digital expertise and the program tutors are happy to assist with acquiring one to suit. Since the program started in 2019, almost 500 seniors have joined and Cheryle Leggett is one of them. "I appreciated that the course allowed me to learn at my own pace. The trainers were so helpful, so I didn't feel intimidated to ask the most basic questions. I now understand more about technology and how it can be used," she said. Bobbi Flower, 81, was one of the many program participants who used their technology skills to stay in contact with their family via regular video calls during the COVID-19 lockdowns. He said it was difficult to not have his grandson over for visits, but they talked everyday through video calls. "We shared our day's activities with each other," he said.

You can create a website yourself, even if you have no experience, by using a site builder. Read our review of One.com to get all the facts you need to make the right site builder choice.
When first deciding to build a website, you typically have two choices. You can hire someone to create your site: a freelancer or a web design or marketing company. That can be expensive, lead to cost overruns and delayed launch, and you can end up with a design that wasn't what you were hoping for.
Or you can use a DIY site builder which merges the hosting, domain, and site management all into one complete and easy-to-use solution.
A plan that includes the site builder tool.
Because of the way One.com's plans are set up, this makes the site builder an attractive option for new users who want to test the waters of building a website, but who have hopes to seamlessly grow into a large site someday (which will need to be powered by something like WordPress).
So, let's see what exactly you can do with One.com and whether or not it's worth signing up for, even with the promise of scalability in the future.
What Type of Customer or Technical Support is Available?
Why Should You Use One.com's Site Builder?
What are Some Good Alternatives to One.com's Website Builder?
Are the One.com Website Builder Templates Mobile-Responsive?
Does the One.com Website Builder support SSL certificates?
Does the One.com Website Builder integrate with social media services such as Facebook?
One.com is a little different than your average site builder tool since it's a web hosting company before anything else. So, its pricing packages are set up as hosting plans, with domain names for sale and additional tools that may make your hosting experience more efficient.
The main thing to remember is that you have to make a choice between the Website Builder or WordPress when signing up.
You also have the option to sign up for the Webshop tool, which is the e-commerce site builder add-on from One.com. It'll cost you a little extra every month, so there's no reason to add that on if you're not planning to sell services or products on your site.
Take note that the signup for the site builder "plan" on One.com may confuse some customers as it's advertised on the Hosting page as well as the Website Builder page. Both are exactly the same. If you get the Website Builder, it automatically comes with hosting from One.com.
This is the interface you'll work with when using the site builder.
One.com's site builder interface requires zero knowledge of coding.
In addition to offering responsive (mobile-compatible) and modernly designed templates, One.com also understands that niche industries have niche needs for their sites. That's why its templates cover a wide range of options, including e-commerce sites, bookstores, blogs, and car care websites.
If you decide you don't want to use a starter template from One.com, that's fine too. There is an option to create your own and you can use them on as many websites as you want.
One.com has an array of responsive and modern templates.
There's also a nice template switching feature. Rather than lock users into any one template, you can switch your site design as much as you want without having to worry about losing the content you've created up to that point.
Media support is far more important than the average webmaster assumes. We've tried so many website builders that look great, only to find out that uploading imagery slows down the site drastically or videos can't be embedded from YouTube. Regardless of the problem, it's nice to see that One.com supports media from most reputable sources.
One.com's drag-and-drop interface for building your website.
Since the One.com website builder has drag-and-drop elements, it's fairly simple to drop an image into your website or to create full slideshows. Both pictures and videos can end up on your slider, too.
Google AdWords is a pay-per-click network, where your ads are delivered to relevant and targeted online users who might be looking for products, services, or brands related to yours. With One.com, you actually don't have to pay extra to unlock the Google AdWords coupon, since all hosting plans come with it.
Obviously, Google wants you to keep paying for ads after this coupon is all used up. So, we suggest that you take advantage of this feature while you have it and give it a test run. If it brings in business, then it's up to you to decide if it's worth paying for to continue the service.
In many cases, site builders require customers on cheaper plans to place their websites on a subdomain of the site builder. Those options are fine for hobbyist bloggers or for people wanting to build out a private website for friends and family, but most companies won't be satisfied with placing their site on a subdomain.
One.com provides free domains for all site builder plans. These domains are bound to make your website look more professional as they're 100% custom and come with matching email addresses too.
The One.com website builder makes it easy for your visitors to share your content on their social media profiles. You can easily add social buttons, and with just one click, your visitors can share things they find interesting with their friends and family.
One.com also boasts the ability of its tool to link to Facebook, but we are not clear if this is anything more than just populating a link on your business' Facebook profile.
SSL certificates are a key way of proving that your site (and by extension, your business) is legitimate. One.com offers all its customers a free SSL certificate.
Users of One.com's website builder can access their product via their browser or through the One.com control panel (to which they have full access). The One.com's control panel, which you will also use to manage all aspects of the included website hosting, is a custom build whose functionality mirrors that of cPanel or Plesk Control Panels.
One.com is a relatively large company so that always brings up the question of whether or not it is prepared to handle the capacity of a customer base as sizable as the one they have. But don't fret.
Customizing your One.com website is easy.
You can also go to the blog and check out the system status whenever you want.
One.com offers its first-time website builder customers a 15-day period to take advantage of the money-back guarantee.
Like with any site builder, One.com won't be right for everyone. But it does stand a good ways above the competition in several key areas, making it a worthy contender for your consideration.
You'd like to have the flexibility to switch to a content management (like WordPress) in the future, but don't want to start all over again with another web hosting company.
Now, if you don't feel as though One.com's Website Builder fits the bill and want something more robust like WordPress to build and manage your site, be sure to check out One.com's web hosting and WordPress options.

5 Top Tips For Vocal Recording
By: MB in Recording Tips
If you've read our post on noise reduction you'll be aware that we believe the most important aspect about making a great clean track comes in the audio capture process. Most of us have a limited number of microphones or a budget to obtain a vocal mic. The good news is that with a bit of attention to detail, it's more than possible to capture a great vocal ready for the mix. Here's our top 5.
1 – Find a good location to record
Set up in a spacious room that has no reflective surfaces. The microphone should be secured on a shock mount at a comfortable height for the performer. Place a rug on the floor. By doing this you'll prevent foot noise and rumbles from the ground travelling up the mic stand which will of course end up being recorded with the performance. These few easy steps will mean that you're already off to a great start.
2 – Use a pop shield
A pop shield does exactly what it says on the tin. It shields the recording from pops by preventing the capture of over-emphasised p's and t's. That's not to say that the performer will be putting any specific effort into these two letters. Loads of words contain syllables starting with these consonants, which when articulated tend to sharply move a lot of air, resulting in an audible pop. You'll hear it when you listen back to a track without having used a shield.
A pop shield won't cost you a bomb and if you really can't stretch your budget for one, you can DIY it by stretching a pair of tights or sock over a frame made with a wired coat hanger.
3 – The effect of proximity
Once you are set up and ready to hit the record button, it's worth experimenting a bit with the distance from the microphone to get your desired sound. Close proximity is well suited to a sweet and delicate sound where pronunciation and strong diction is necessary. For more powerful melodies and dynamic belts, standing further away will allow room for increases in volume without clipping. Standing further away will however increase the signal to noise ratio, which will be exaggerated with post processing. To help overcome this problem read our post on noise reduction.
4 – Record dry
It is tempting to add reverb and compress the sound such that you feel more comfortable with the take. That's fine if you're simply monitoring in this way, but recording the effects to the track is a bad idea. Once the effect has been captured you'll never be able to take it off. Record the track dry, and be happy with the performance. You can then start adding effects to the desired level.
5 – Avoid unnatural manual editing
The gaps between sentences and words will contain the acoustic personality of the room, breathing, and the natural sounds which lead up to deliverance of the vocal. Watching some producers manually chop out all the breathing sounds between the vocal phrases can sometimes be a frustrating thing to watch watch. Of course it depends on the style of music and what you are trying to achieve, but often these edits are unnecessary and also time consuming. There's a natural beauty about the organic way we sing, including the various utterances we make. This gives a song more personality and makes it sound less robotic with the vocal ducking in and out of the track.
Here at online session we offer professional top lines to tracks, backing vocals and editing.

Nine Immaterial Nocturnes
Tony Towle
Barretta Books 2003
Immaterial is one of those two-headed terms, conveying qualities of the insubstantial and -- hey! -- metaphysicality. An eerie self-putdown, I guess. Towle's adoption of the term is quizzical in that his accomplishment is neither incorporeal nor slight, unless we consider a run of nine one-page poems slight. This could never be the case with Towle, I maintain, since whether in long or shorter pieces no other poet better spoofs the yearning for self-engrandizement of the individual as creator, nor more envelops his readers within the self-searching generation entailed in composition: "'...you can sweep easily through the words / of a talented writer,' the critic said / but not of me alas." This is Towle speaking to the occasion of something like this very one-paragraph survey, perhaps, "...nobody's poetry is any good / until someone in prose says it is." Towle's luck is early on to be welcomed (personally as well as in praiseful prose) into the second generation of the New York School under the nurturing auspices of Frank O'Hara, only to live through the subsequent atomization of the scene after O'Hara's death, to witness the metamorphosis of the craft from one of avocation to career path. There is, doubtless, a masterful cartoonist gesturing that smoothes over such a shift in aesthetic temperament, imaging himself decades after his entry into poetry among the old-timer "cactuses...keeping our spines straight out all night...an effort well worth it." The effort is a countermeasure to the careless as "we force wit, / laughter and subtlety to carry gloom, / lamentation and humorlessness on their shoulders." Towle continues to play historian and geographer in his references ("I pick up a copy of Medieval Ways to Have Fun"; after putting back "What Brooklyn Means to Me"; in the poem "Hudson and Worth" we are informed one of these is "the former Anthony Street"). His metaphoric digressions are erudite audacities ("Catherine the Great draws even closer, / her Russo-Teutonic bosom heaving...the empress is coming to resemble / Margaret Dumont..."). Towle's game is tableau completion, nine tableaux here, each incorporating social commentary that adds texture to the view, as in "Le Voyage." This is a 13-liner that manages to capture moments when the I is in the midst of composing, planning a visit to France while walking "in fashionable Tribeca" airing, evidently in English and French, "topics of internalized interest." The poem recognizes "voices have informed me" and "Every little breeze / takes on import" especially since this is "Hurricane Awareness Week" (though, in another voice of droll recognition, this is just another start to "Real Estate Avarice Month"). In closing lines, Towle's self-conscious determination and hilarity resolve the prospect, a stunning rendition of the poet in action: "I walk down the street, / ... the passersby assume I am on an unseen cell phone, / a bilingual conference call of schizophrenic significance." Eerie putdown, precisely so.
Michael Scharf
/ubu editions 2002
There aren't many like Scharf riding high and meaning it, stitching glib art-talk, geopolitical prognosis and theory-laden stricture into deeply compressed, formally satirical, selfdeprecating verse. To suggest that he wields humor mock-ferociously, like The Donald at a Zen center, say, is beside the point that he continually makes ("to attract art world money") or it's an enormously fake understatement. You decide. I went hunting for funny, neurotically insolent thematics, turned on my random selector and started to lift and weave. Persist in the system or perish, there are parts of the world of which I have no right to speak. Still, people carry images, reproduce themselves through genetic predispositions triggered by abuse, reactions to toys predicting their behaviors. I wanted an organizing principle, honesty about materials (sodajerking) but the trend is bigger, permanent parabasis, a morality in chains: we can rubber any room -- Mommy's coming home! -- replacing subject matter with source text, exploring only the musts: structure, acquisition, use, medium, no eros in ideas that won't pash the inquiry. You may find Scharf's humor dry for following reasons: about a quarter of the text is written in the philosophy of poliscience or in French or in German; there are "Six Poems for Austria"; he inserts diacritical essays among the poems (indeed he starts off with a five-page essay), prose that is occasionally marked by rambling though well-structured sentences of 100 words or more; he comes up with such titles as "Lament for Adler" and "The Song Form as Reflective of Actual Infrastructure"; he uses a lot of trick words, "colloidal asphyxiates," "cathexes," "pulvery," "Axl Rose," "numbkin," "McKenseying," "fuckball," and the like. Those are also grounds for finding the text endearing, of course. Of 15 sonnets, I am especially envious of IX in which Scharf demonstrates how everyday insults externalize macro constructs, noting, "There's an argument that would say" to paint over a small swastika "penned" in the men's room "constitutes a reification." Some arguments seem more self-involved and thus more self-conflicted and comprise the richest bases for ironic pleasure, as in "Almost Against Archaism," where Scharf arranges his language in gorgeous heaps of "symphonic ideals" to run down the "angelic anguish" of romance whose "failure is beautiful," yet countered by the analytical life, as it were, "exploring…structure, / acquisition, / use." The last sentence begins, "Form as patent-holder..." as though this were an answer, and then concludes, "dead / cypress, // a marshy / morass."
Sodajerks. Their stock was luminous.
There was a skeleton curse.
I shit where I cat.
Alli Warren
Housepress 2004
This text is shot through with wit and vim shaken from the inside, turning words and sentences upside down, tuning grief into giraffe. I recommend an open window (to admit purrs of the outdoors) and a Lou Harrison disc as backdrop, tapping with one hand on your desk or something to keep the beats, holding Schema in the other hand while reading from back to front. This way you'll confront the lines "in her underpants milk grows / like liquid overflows a vessel" after reading the poem titled "Poem for After Sex." If you follow my strategy, the first poem you'll read is the second page of a piece titled "X. Inverting Distance," which, for me, is principal: "I want to write the whole poem ... // ... in abandon..." This inverting business is a very amusing ambition, furthered in the poem "VIII. 'Willfully Embedded'," which begins, tellingly: "Slicing potatoes to make a table of / how I have not seen this before // walking on your skin..." Note the homely culinary slicing attempts to precede the love act ("walking on your skin..."), but this is not necessarily the case, since the slicing only appears to be in the subject position in the sentence that goes on to aver: "for exploring ideas stick to the sentence // and between blocks of text say 'love'." You, after all, is the subject in love, commanded by imperatives "stick" and "say": inversion tagged with attractive demands. Again, Warren has the gift for switching agents and subject positions. Winter, it seems, "blows trombone" but we go back to read that it's some "man / on Mission St. / porch / in winter / blows trombone..." Tall, fabricated schemata put into verse -- ending a poem with "how do you do"; baldly claiming "the larynx / is smaller than / emotionalism" -- are language models for three-dimensional real time as we might know it were more poets to drag their dioramas on the highway. In the second (or if you read it backwards, second-to-last) poem, "Operating Equipment," the dioramas are racing: "remarkable structure of shuddering, / lurid flooring // sprawled out in socks / the Romans are coming." The implicit oxymoron of writing in abandon is halfway exposed as "conflicted" representation. What Warren discards, I think, is self-erasure or received piety toward procedural or analytical modes as substitutes for "thick longing / haphazard virtue / ...inflicted by inclination." Warren's inclinations are attitudes and sentiments divided by clowning linguistic acts to yield fruitful accidents, adjustments in natural ambiguity, and conditions for intimacy.
Desire relief set passes depth.
Once making shattered again
love arts slate winter. Heaving below
life comes in effort, then parks,
streets, arrogance.
I roll now when to hold you
burnishes a flare, ever the moment.
I once kissed a cat. I wrote about
turning you into dominion over
identity and rumors. What's the worst
that can happen? Doom's partner
is a villain, twenty times its own weight
Skip scattering the venture words
enclitic of meaning, low on nation-wise.
Otherness when down
("I've stopped looking")
otherness came.
Jerk, did you sleep all right?
The moron thought, it's a little too
early to tell. There's so many
beginner things on the prowl
chained to today's complex wealth.
The office, the right tennis fans, cultural weight
loss. What are we instead of nothing? I'm
not against having children, this is goodbye.
You're staring in the mirror names don't balance
new memories, downers, blight
till we think away the best part.
Oh baby I'll be right over.
Liberal radio's been there for over a week.
Too trail-rated, too silly, too hole-in-the-
universe.
I don't think knees drawn together
should see each other
-- this homestay's so needy --
noises jump blades when experimented
("If the brain could be two...") on
boring a woman in a man carefully, memory
-- mother drinks, doesn't she? --
gurgling, bolting herself to the bed
splitting up to mourn, wobbly discomforted,
two little girls who will grow to evict us.
("Instead, there is another.")
Perhaps the most unpuppetlike one
in five women and men is a spare.
Destroy, screw and laugh all the way.
Aren't we supposed to feed the bad dog
a good cry, a single outpouring
lining it up in the voice to be tailored upstairs
to adapt a range of compliments
to leave grief with snippy suspects
and insurgents to bind heartache?
What time do you get off work?
Rachel Levitsky
Duration E-books 2001
Jean Cocteau advises, "never get excited about mystery, so that mystery may come on its own and not find the path confused by our impatience to make contact with it." In Realism, Rachel Levitsky writes undecorated and at-times disjoined allegorical verse that frees itself of elaborate predicates, much less premature resolution. This spawns room for mystery. The short set of poems -- subtitled "(A Work in Progress)" and also self-described as "(In the serial novel.)" -- triangulates through a Lady, a turtle who is the Lady, "herself always," and "a third / nameless / ever present." Right from the start I'm set to take this as allegory, but I feel a little unanchored about the story telling, as indeed Levitsky seems, "Once upon a time there were stories. This one already written." Her narrative thread, let's call it, improvises scenery or half-tableaux installed with promising storyline prototypes, fish, silence, sky, dogs, painting, sex. The thread, then, like Levitsky's language, is hardly abstract; the narrative components help one conceptualize occasions of desire but, these occasions are mere suspicions of potential fulfillment, unquestionably not seductive preludes or otherwise needy emblems of paucity or rank impatience. Levitsky is performing conditions that surround her desire and her creation, finger-pointing to sections of text qua text ("On you hands and your knees...Even we / lose words"; "I tell myself: / pull the narrative into a visual scheme"), describing physical qualities of the text process (That Black Mess of Squiggles with some Red"), bracketing some text "(for silent reading)" while other parts carry the imperative "(return to speech)." The overriding condition in Levitsky's ambitious performance is requisite recombinings of components, which are "difficult to finish," difficult because, "annoyed by repetition," she insists on bringing in blank canvases to mix up with her "Book of Love" and "Book of Fantasy" to keep filling up her "box of unheard of material." Realism goes for all the senses and attendant synesthesia, including sound that "corrupts the viewer" and that most difficult sense to achieve in writing, "a new smell. / The articulation of which / is a sign of collaboration. / War meeting art." The stage for further warfare has been set by Levitsky, one that requires attentive audiences and readers to join her to "Defeat / Foolhardy explanations," to see with her that although "The peaches and blues / are appealing," there's more to be determined together, more "we can say / about fracture. // Why we bother."
Dahlia's Iris
Leslie Scalapino
FC2 2003
To float in Buddhist undercurrents from work by a mature avantist is no more a surprise than learning that rock stars you never danced to undergo drug rehab. We know Scalapino is a bona fide avantast, and on whichever side we find ourselves in the Naropa Wars, the demeanor of a calming, enlightened refusal has likely rubbed off during her and our intake of an illusory simultaneity in the social imagination. Or don't know. (Also refusal.) Scalapino mines Tibetan lore from Treasure Discoveries (detective stories about current obstacles set up in a prior life) to write film noir before telling it within a set of lifetimes that, for me, achieve moments (movements) of past and future in present West Coast time. ("Ashcroft petitions justices for secrecy in deportations.") Like Dogen's view of mortality, the story engages death before it may not have happened, requiring scenes and coincidental backdrops to be replayed, special terms like "waves" to recur like waves ("repetition...of events will make a crack, will crack realism"), personnel to be shifted and some to be fired so when they come to work anyway, they may achieve a seeming bliss ("the boy is a crushed rose on the cement") of the non-willed state ("the high waves of grass flickering in color where one will be..."). The novella could be critiqued as an even-tempered theoretical interchange of matrices connecting Stein's continuous present, for instance, to Walter Benjamin's nostalgia for the now defunct interiority of an observer-as-flaneur, apposite Kathy Acker's view of absolute present as pain emptied through plagiarism. Or Dahlia's Iris could be experienced as a brainy appropriation fest in which story lines from some favored movies (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Blade Runner) have been researched and repurposed to trick us into seeing the transcience of visual evidence. The exchanges here across time and hills and twisting plains of narrative and metanarrative demonstrate why "inside the muffled trussed adult in the swaddling clothes grows mean as institutional behavior...Speaking at all is understood only as anger."
In our language there is no polite way to respond not yet.
Breathing in through the teeth I make the ss-sound.
Exhaling I manage to say, domo.
I wish you every success but aesthetic.
Nelson & the Huruburu Bird
Mairead Byrne
Wild Honey Press 2003
Mairead Byrne has worked as a journalist and educator in Dublin and as a teacher of poetics at Purdue and Rhode Island School of Design. Reading Byrne's bicultural poetry I'm reminded of hybrids and typologies of realism and also of photographic memory, and then, I imagine, I get it! Photo-realism. However, other points from which to speculate on her approach would be a) attention to the meaning for a feminist of writing under male influence on both sides of the Atlantic; b) ardent adherence to exact events, places, people, data. Point b) is repeatedly evidenced in her addressing subject matter about her home country. "The pubs inside the pubs / made new to look like old or old made look like new / the pints and pints and pints each daisy-fresh / and sloppy on the bar." Again, her cityscapes drip of photo-realist brushwork. "Woolworths was a box of light. On the bright side / looking out you could see the streaked street, / plate glass doors like a fresco..." Byrne's literal-mindedness steers the discourse, interrupting what might become too-abstract a passage, veering it back down to ground level. "And before I was let out / there were flags, green and pink tags. / Pins. / What the hell am I talking about?" Her retort, "I am talking about dusk." Some of the text maintains the Celtic tradition of alienation from within, as in a trio of ironic found- and clichéd-verses dedicated "To the Traveling People of Ireland," gypsies. Byrne uses found poetry to render her stay Stateside ironic, as well, adapting in "A Salute to the Cape Verdean Community..." commentary from a visitors' book for a New England exhibit of Cape Verdean photos: "Today I feel as though Boston finally accepts me." I most admire the poems that explore a brand of antagonism she locates within herself provoked by men: "This is not home and I don't have to stop / to pass the time of day or night with you / or anyone." These are the opening lines in "Commercial Street," a poem that celebrates a gypsy-like, predominantly male province of "extras...the fresh meat" pacing inside the "neat New England zoo" of Provincetown. The anomic freedom of not having to pass time with anyone seems worshipful and light-headed in ways that recall her American progenitor, Frank O'Hara: "Here come the babies -- they're the best! Relaxed / as Einstein, turned, impassive to the core." But this male-sort of freedom from commitment and Byrne's relation to it are not without a gruffer side. With regard to another pair of male babes, after 36 lines of monolog posing unanswered questions in "An Interview with Romulus and Remus," Byrne finally breaks down: "Hey -- thanks for your time boys. / It's been real. / You got to talk soon boys. / A lot of people are dying to hear about this." There are over a dozen intense love poems interspersed among numerous exercises, a ratio that may indicate an accurate rate of frequency as well as depth of experience. In the most lyrical, "A Boat about a Poem," Byrne achieves an equitable omnipresence with her prey: "All the men I've ever loved are living / with me..." After insinuating plurality, the focus, like most instances of love, seems mostly about a single other presence, but in Byrne's dual role of being influenced by "you," and of striving for parity as "your" antagonist, she and her love operate in combat. "The rain racks barricades / around the house. / It nails us in. We're soldiers...I rain. So do you."
Color and Its Antecedents
Brenda Iijima
Yen Agat Books 2004
Color lulls one into a nappy demimonde of procedural ambiguity. This pretentious argument is something Iijima does not intimate in Color and Its Antecedents. She doesn't need to, since she already knows how much better than argument is laughter, and better still, she knows how to rouse us to laugh until we can't stop. Iijima, painter and poet, knows such things not as proposition, but as enterprising pattern, the species' disgracefully pragmatic hostility exemplified by one's never having to complete a sentence, much less a thought, of one's own. Strands of others' erotic conflations, therefore, as well as others' unfinished apologia, run-on judgments and half-views are "maneuvered, turned, replaced" to bring down the "unconditional architecture" of "red associated aesthetically with animal flesh." I cannot speak to Iijima's occult token phrasings -- Francis Ponge's "BROWN LIES," Miyazawa Kenji's "Turquoise / adrenaline," Jack Spicer's "lemons" -- but there is surely enough here that is "Groomed by the pen" to drain the half-awake of their unearned logic and liberties. Pinning wine-stained sensualities from Li Po to war chants from one Charlie Crowchief is another occasion of procedural pandemonium, as are Iijima's final caveats: "A drab, colorless situation is punitive to poetry. Originate necklaces of color."

Fruits, vegetables from India stopped at customs, requiring pesticide clearance
Published On: June 24, 2019 04:30 AM NPT
Trucks carrying onion and potato at the customs yard in Bhairahawa.
BHAIRAHAWA, June 24: Following the government's decision that fruits and vegetables will be allowed entry into the country only after verifying that they are free of pesticides, 17 trucks carrying onion and potato from India have been stopped at Bhairahawa Customs point.
Nepal government had published a notice in the Gazette on June 17 that quarantine test and examination of pesticide residue must be done at the customs point while importing fruits and vegetables.
Following the notice, more than 100 trucks of vegetables and fruits have been halted at the Sunauli border point apart from the 17 trucks.
Bhairawaha Customs Office has said that the trucks will get customs clearance only if the agro products get certificate of being free of pesticide residue.
Kaliram Paudel, information officer of Bhairahawa Customs Office, has said that the provision has been implemented after the Customs Department issued a circular in this regard on June 19.
However, there is no mechanism even in the quarantine office to examine the residue of pesticides.
"We had a meeting with the customs office. But we don't have infrastructure to test pesticide residue. Also, we haven't got any direction in this regard," Brij Kishor Upadhyaya, crop protection officer at the quarantine office, said.
Upadhyaya said that there is also shortage of human resource for the purpose. The office operates with only one assistant, according to him.
One Indian truck driver said that they were not aware of the provision of pesticide clearance.
On average, about 20 to 25 trucks of vegetables and fruits and 40 to 50 trucks of onion and potato enter Nepal from India every day.
LOCAL FARMERS HAPPY
Local farmers, who were facing losses being unable to compete with the Indian imports, are delighted with the government move. Hari Om Lodh, a local farmer, said that this new regulation has come to their respite.
Customs agent Ashim Neupane said that implementation of the provision will be an opportunity for Nepal to be self-reliant on vegetables. However, he said that the government should have prepared proper mechanism for testing and certifying before taking the decision.
LOW QUALITY PLASTIC AND JUICE RESTRICTED
The Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies has issued a notice saying that synthetic liquid drinks and plastics less than 30 micron has been restricted for import. The decision has been implemented under the government's trade deficit minimization plan.
