RSE Chapter 74: Lin Yifei VS Chris (2)
RSEidleturtletranslations 25th May 2021
Chris then turned around without any nostalgia. Only he knew how hard he gritted his teeth to endure the urge to embrace Lin Yifei.
His fencing style had change, becoming more powerful and dazzling.
The audience in the fencing hall gradually dispersed, but many people were still commenting on the match just now around the DV.
Elizabeth stood where she was, unable to even move a single foot.
The match made her vaguely understand that Chris didn't need to say anything to Lin Yifei or make any intimate moves. As long as they both held their sabres, they could communicate. The more unfeeling Chris's sabre was, the crazier his infatuation with Lin Yifei became. Because there was no one else in this world who could make him so absorbed and forget everything.
Lin Yifei stood not far away. His expression was extremely calm as he drank the precious mineral water. He took the towel and wiped the sweat from his head. Several teenagers came to talk with him. They chatted very excitingly.
Elizabeth sadly realized that such a Lin Yifei would be extremely bright even in the darkest place. No one could hide his brilliance.
She couldn't bear it anymore. She took her cell phone to a quiet place and dialed DeNiro's phone. When the call was connected, her entire body trembled.
"Grandpa DeNiro…Chris can no longer fence. As long as there's fencing, his relationship with Lin can't be cut off!"
"Why cut it off?" DeNiro's voice sounded calm.
"What…" Elizabeth stood there stunned.
"If it's cut off, Chris won't have to endure any longer. What he needs to learn is patience."
"Grandpa DeNiro, I thought…you were on my side…"
"Of course, I'm on your side at the moment. But Elizabeth, what I want to tell you is that marriage is never equal to love. If you want to tie Chris's heart with marriage, it's childish and ridiculous. If you succeed in marrying him, are you sure you can endure Chris loving another? Even if that person isn't Lin."
"How can I…endure?"
"Learn." DeNiro's tone sounded mild and slow, but it was cold. "Since you're a person who wants to be the mistress` of the Osbornes, you need to show the mentality of a mistress."
The phone was hung up and Elizabeth understood DeNiro's intentions for the first time.
It didn't matter whether Chris was still in love with Lin Yifei. DeNiro only used this method to make Chris learn to endure. The mistress of the Osbornes' family was just a decoration and would not occupy any position in Chris's life. Elizabeth had abandoned all of her dignity. What she wanted wasn't such a hollow position.
In the evening, Lin Yifei was lying on the hotel bed. He had just taken a shower. His hair was still wet.
The boy in the same bedroom threw a towel on his head, "Wipe your hair! Otherwise, you'll be in trouble if you catch a cold."
"Oh, thank you…"
"No need. At first you were so strong that you swept us all away. I was a little jealous. But after today's match, I suddenly felt that it's a despicable thing to envy you since I don't have the determination you have to give my all to confront an opponent."
Lin Yifei lowered his head somewhat shyly.
The U.S. team's entry list for the World Junior Fencing Championship was thus confirmed with the names of Lin Yifei and Chris written on the men's sabre single.
When class was over on Monday, Lin Yifei walked to the door. The sun still had a dazzling charm at 4:30 pm. Under the shade of a nearby tree, a familiar tall and straight figure stood against its backlight. The figure was as quiet as a statue and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
"Chelsea?" Lin Yifei froze.
"Do you wonder why I come here?" Chelsea tilted his head and smiled. He shaved his beard, looking fresh and capable. His slightly curled forehead hair was combed to the back of his head, revealing elegant eyebrows. The dark gray leisure suit and striped scarf restrained his sharpness and showed a somewhat mature image.
"Yes, we don't have practice today. However, you look very different…"
"Because, I have decided to be your coach."
"Be my coach? Aren't you already my coach?" Lin Yifei was somewhat puzzled.
Chelsea chuckled and took Lin Yifei's shoulder: "Come on, I've discussed with your school. You can use the fencing hall every night. They expect you to win the World Junior Fencing Championship."
"Aha…" Lin Yifei laughed and suddenly had an ambition he never had before.
Chelsea's network was beyond Lin Yifei's imagination. He hired three college students as sparring partners for Lin Yifei. Each one of them had rich experience in competitions.
"I can't afford to pay them…" Lin Yifei whispered awkwardly to Chelsea.
"It doesn't matter. Can you afford to hire me as your personal trainer?"
That was to say, the fees for all these sparring sessions would come out of Chelsea's own pocket.
"Don't worry, I have nothing but money now." Chelsea's upturned mouth appeared a bit lonely.
Having gone against top athletes like Kevin Phil, Rhett and Michael, these sparring sessions weren't enough. At first, these college students thought that they were only practicing with a rich middle school student, but after they were defeated by Lin Yifei, they realized that such a high salary was not easy to earn.
Chelsea had no hope for these sparring partners to beat Lin Yifei at all. All he needed was for them to be there so he could give constant guidance during practice.
Less than a week later, these sparring partners resigned one after another. Although Lin Yifei had always been humble and courteous, their self-esteem couldn't stand being constantly defeated by a 15-16 years old.
Just when Chelsea had some headaches, a savior came.
Rex came in with his protective gear on while still smiling a little frivolously.
"Compare to looking for those useless college students, it's better to find me. Besides, I'm free."
"Rex-" Lin Yifei hugged him, "It's best to have you!"
At first Chelsea didn't think much of Rex, but after only a minute, Chelsea's view changed.

Times had really changed. These young people would be the ones to reach the top.
With Rex's high-level sparring, Lin Yifei's shortcomings were more easily exposed. Chelsea no longer shouted and distracted him during practice and would only correct Lin Yifei in an harsh manner at the end of the round.
"Initiative! Initiative! All you think about is getting the initiative back. Have you ever wondered why Rex was able to hold you back just now? It's not because of his rhythm or because he didn't leave any opening for you! It's because his footwork matches his upper body better than yours!"
"Where is your cut! On his sabre or on his shoulder! Why did one stick to one move to the end? What about feint? Where's the transfer? Do you think one plus one equals two?"
Chelsea never had so many blue veins standing out this violently. Before, he always just held his arm while his eyes were always looking at him.
Rex often thought, fortunately this guy wasn't his coach. Otherwise, he would have vomited blood and died.
The formal competition would be held after the semester ended. There would be a round of intensive training before the competition. Before that, Chris had to go back to New York.
They were in the Osbornes' limo.
Elizabeth listened to music while her eyes glanced at Chris.
He's holding a notebook laptop, looking at all kinds of information with very focused eyes. Every time the car stopped or turned, the vibration seemed to have no effect on him.
Only at this time could Elizabeth have no qualms about appreciating his beauty. She was infatuated with this cousin. The first time she saw him at a family gathering, she seemed to see the little prince in the winter palace. No one could enter his palace and he didn't care about anyone's approach.
More than half an hour later, Chris seemed to have read all the news and opened a video.
Elizabeth froze. It was a video of Lin Yifei's match.
He held his chin up and looked very carefully.
"Chris!" Elizabeth was very angry. "Why are you looking at Lin Yifei's video like this?"
"In order to win next time." Chris made a gesture for Elizabeth to shut up.
Elizabeth was trembling with anger. She knew that she could no longer call DeNiro, because Chris hadn't violated any agreement with him. He was only studying his opponent now.
Chris frowned constantly as he replayed Lin Yifei split stance. Then his eyebrows slowly stretched and he let the video continue.
Elizabeth knew that at this time he's no longer studying the duel between them, but just looking at Lin Yifei.
If it had been in the past, she would have laughed at Chris's misery since he could only see the person he liked this way.
But now, she knew that the most ridiculous person was her.
Back in New York, Elizabeth's most anticipated day finally arrived. DeNiro would personally preside over her engagement ceremony with Chris.
Although they were young, they're already adults in a family like Osbornes.
The engagement ceremony was very luxurious. At the Osbornes' mansion in New York, members of the family came one after another. Even the Taylor family's dignitaries came. Elizabeth's father could hardly close his smiling mouth.
Chris on the ladder nodded with a half-mocking smile and watched the rest of the Osbornes' family wore a mask of fake laughter even though they're clearly not happy with Chris's consolidation of power.
Elizabeth looked like a diamond princess today. She appeared elegant and luxurious. She put her hand in front of Chris, because Chris would not lose her face under DeNiro's gaze.
Chris held Elizabeth's hand but didn't exert any strength. His hands were cold while his face had no expression. He led Elizabeth down.
DeNiro naturally smiled today. The Taylor family was proud of DeNiro's support. Recently, the shares of some industries owned by the Osbornes had fallen. The Taylors had bought a lot of shares while taking advantage of the situation. Their purpose of obtaining the decision-making power in the Osbornes was quite obvious.

Q: Datatables - format one of the columns as a currency I have a simple table with header and I'm using a DataTables plugin for it:
$('#uc-dashboard-top-customers .uc-dashboard-sortable').dataTable({
  'aaSorting': [[1, "desc"]],
  'sPaginationType': 'full_numbers'
});

In second column I have numerical values like 124.012, 9, 8.15, 16.5048 and so on. Now I need to order that column by numerical value, but format them as a currency, e.g 1224,21 €. I could format the values server side, but then it will be sorted as a string by Datatables.
Is there a way to define format for specific column?

A: This should give you an idea of how to initialize the datatable. You will need to tweak it as necessary but it should certainly put you on the right track.
$('#uc-dashboard-top-customers .uc-dashboard-sortable').dataTable({
  'aaSorting': [[1, "desc"]],
  'sPaginationType': 'full_numbers',
    columns:
        [{
            data: "Field1",
            type: "date",
            width: "10%"
        }, {
            data: "Field2",
            width: "10%"
        }, {
            data: "Field3",
            type: "html",
            width: "10%"
        }, {
            data: "Field4",
            width: "30%"
        }, {
            data: "Field5",
            width: "10%"
        }, {
            data: "Field6",
            render: $.fn.dataTable.render.number(",", ".", 2),
            width: "10%"
        }]
});

A: Why not use a sorting plugin like currency? Basically it does nothing but extracting the float value out of a string, suitable for any kind of currency formats :
jQuery.extend( jQuery.fn.dataTableExt.oSort, {
    "currency-pre": function ( a ) {
        a = (a==="-") ? 0 : a.replace( /[^\d\-\.]/g, "" );
        return parseFloat( a );
    },
    "currency-asc": function ( a, b ) {
        return a - b;
    },
    "currency-desc": function ( a, b ) {
        return b - a;
    }
} );

var table = $('#example').DataTable({
  columnDefs : [
   { targets: 0, type: 'currency' }
  ]
})

demo -> http://jsfiddle.net/zfkcj8g2/
A sorting plugin works regardless of how the dataTable is initialised, i.e DOM tables, JSON / array sourced or serverside.

A: In case you want to format a calculated field in  datatables
I do a lot of financial applications and like to use the 'numeral' javascript library:
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/numeral.js/2.0.6/numeral.min.js"></script>

Here's the calculated column before formatting as currency:
{
  "data": null,
  "render": function(data,type,row) { return (data["Revenue"] - data["Expenses"]) }
}

Here's the calculated column formatting with the numeral library:
{
"data": null,
 "render": function(data,type,row)
   {
    return (numeral(data["Revenue"] - data["Expenses"]).format('$0,0.00'))
   }
}

I love [Pixelmator](http://pixelmator.com) but found it highly frustrating that I can't use number keys on my keyboard to control brush opacity like it can be done in Photoshop or [Acorn](http://www.flyingmeat.com/acorn/). So I wrote this little app to fix that.

## Installation

[github]:https://github.com/grassator/pixelmator-opacity-helper/releases/

Download the latest version from [releases page][github]. Unzip it and put in Applications folder on your Mac. To open use right click (Ctrl + click). On first launch you may be presented with a dialog box requesting Accessibility API access.

### Why does the app need Accessibility API access?

Unfortunately [Pixelmator](http://pixelmator.com) doesn't provide any kind of scripting API which leaves only Accessibility API interaction to adjust opacity sliders.

## Licensing

All code is licensed under permissive [MIT-style license](https://github.com/grassator/pixelmator-opacity-helper/blob/master/LICENSE-MIT) unless stated otherwise inside the file.

Here are some tips you won't find anywhere else!
Drink distilled water that is sealed in a bottle from a major store like 7/11, the mall, or a large grocery store. Water in a bottle can easily be fake with the cap put back on. You may think you can tell, but you cannot. Any other source of water even the water in mcdonalds used to make the soft drinks can make you sick. Any drinks in a sealed bottle purchased from a large chain store is your safest bet, and have never made me sick. Pineapple juice in a sealed metal can is fine just clean the top real good.
Fruits, and vegetables are of course washed in the local water. Fruit is usually ok if it has a cover like a banana. Vegetables, and fruits often have various worms inside so pay attention, and eat slowly. Make sure you boil or completely cook any vegetables or fruits if you eat the skin part. I have had the best luck/least nausea with fruits/vegetables purchased from puregold grocery stores.
Avoid any and all meat unless it comes from fresh options meat shop, or Brettos deli if you want to cook for yourself. Both places are very clean. If you eat out then stick to the fast food places for meat. Some of the more expensive hotels are probably ok, but I cannot vouch for them.
Under no circumstance should you eat food found in any of the bars here ever! If you seen the kitchens in some of these places you would understand. Even the girls who work in the bar won't eat it.
Even if you are starving, or about to pass out from dehydration stick to the advice above. Start carrying food and water around with you if needed. And have fun this is a wonderful place I love it. You just have to be extremely careful because it is so easy to get sick here. If you do get sick here ask a trike to take you to Angeles University Hospital.
I think you're being a jerk because the comments that you made was 90% not true. The food served in Angeles are clean. They do have Sanitation Check each and every time.

The Lingering Scent
by Bruce Whealton
I could sense it on her
Just as well as she could
Sense it....
I'm not talking about the smell
Of smoke, though it is something
Like that.
Trace wasn't a smoker
but people in the house
where she was staying
did smoke
and you could smell
it on her.
Yet there wasn't something more
that she was describing to me...
a sense of evil.
She was convinced
that the man staying
in that same house
was evil
and that somehow
she was contaminated -
dirty, sickening
and I could sense it too.
She was at once beautiful
and yet at the some moment
somehow I felt repelled
by something about her,
or on her...
Though not given to superstition,
I wanted to tell her to bathe
in garlic and holy water
and to cross herself,
as I do, often, for protection,
in the name of the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit.
Because, you see,
I've been in the same room,
myself, with that man,
and somehow I still feel
his shadow in my life,
these many years later,
as if he is sometimes
in the same room with me.

Today I am unboxing and reviewing a pair of hiking/backpacking boots from a company called AKU, THE GTX Sintesi. These are very well made boots and it shows in the craftsmanship. They are Gore-Tex lined so they will keep your feet dry and comfortable. The insole is a 3 piece insole that I have not seen another boot maker design. These guys really know their stuff!
AKU, an Italian company, founded by Galliano Bordin, which has grown from a small workshop into an industry, has more than thirty years' experience in the design and production of high quality trekking and outdoor footwear.
The AKU collection ranges from mountaineering boots to active free time footwear and behind each model lies a genuine love for manufacturing, built on the age-old prestigious tradition of Italian workmanship. Research into new technologies, together with the design and production of the AKU trekking and outdoor footwear collection top models, take place at the production plant in Montebelluna, Italy in the province of Treviso, famous for its sports footwear.
AIR8000® and AIR INFINITY are the two unique technological solutions utilised by AKU for engineering a breathable upper with the correct thermal balance. Laboratory tests confirm that AIR8000® offers up to 11 times greater breathability than a traditional fabric over a period of 24 hours.
This is an ultra-light and ultra-breathable material engineered to enable the boot's upper to mould to the foot's shape and thus provide additional comfort, thanks to the special dynamic shape memory. SMF is placed in three strategic points of the boot: in the anatomic removable foot bed, in the tongue and the ankle area.
EXOSKELETON is a new solution which AKU has applied to a number of its hi-tech models. A new architecture made of polyurethane, conceived to guarantee protection and stability only where it is needed, without compromising the light weight and breathability of the upper.
Dinamic Stabilizer is a dinamic system that provides lateral support and torsional control. The three independent lateral walls provide the shoe with a modular support that self adapts to uneven terrains, meanwhile the central vertebra provide torsional control and arch support maintaining the forefoot flexible.


The sectional industrial doors are manufactured from 40 mm "sandwich" panels made of high quality galvanised steel and having a middle section of polyurethane foam. Combined with the four side rubber sealing of the door framework and the floor, the section doors acquire high thermal and noise insulation qualities-class A according to world standards. The polyester coating of the panels ensures maximum durability to the impact of the atmospheric conditions.
We utilise only quality materials in the section doors that we manufacture. We import all the components from reputable European manufacturers. The industrial doors are a key element in a business and it is our philosophy that what we offer must possess the highest reliability and durability.
While drafting a project for the section doors it is paramount to choose a mode of opening which best suits the building and the objectives of the investor- it is called opening contour. The door might slide across the ceiling right above the clear opening (low contour of opening), 20 cm above the clear opening of the facility ( standard contour), more than 20 cm above the clear opening ( high contour) or vertically. The chosen contour must not impede the normal functioning of the building.
The sectional doors can be opened manually (only with a handle if they are not too high), manually opened with a chain mechanism or automatically. Automatic opening is done with the aid of industrial side motor or overhead garage motor. In most cases Industrial doors are operated by buttons installed in the facility. There are also options for operation with a key, a remote and others.
Each door is equipped with springs which balance it thus facilitating the opening and closing of the door.
it is possible to build in a pedestrian door in the panel of the sectional one. A window might be built in the sectional doors, and a section with glass panels only- Full Vision.
You should do so for a number of reasons. In brief, because they are reliable, secure and provide great insulation.

Families Briefed On Final MH370 Report | KIIS 1011 Melbourne.
The wife of a man who died on board flight MH370 is angry the Malaysian government didn't offer to fly her from Australia for a briefing on the final report until the last minute.
The report, to be released later on Monday, is expected to contain the final details of the investigation into the Malaysia Airlines plane that vanished carrying 239 people, including six Australians, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014.
Malaysia's Transport Minister Anthony Loke had promised to brief relatives of those on board before the report was publicly released.
But Danica Weeks, who lost her husband Paul in the tragedy, said an offer to fly her to the briefing from Queensland only came on Thursday, which was too little notice for a mother-of-two with a full-time job and pets.
"Unfortunately, I'm not there today. A few of us, international families, have been unable to make it in that time frame so I'm very angry about that," Ms Weeks said.
"We are refreshing the page until the report comes in our emails."
Victoria-based Jennifer Chong, whose husband Chong Ling Tan was on the flight, said foreign next of kin were not able to watch the briefing in Putrajaya via videolink because Malaysia Airlines believed full confidentiality could not be guaranteed.
Grace Nathan, a Malaysian lawyer whose mother Anne Daisy was on the plane, tweeted from the briefing, saying relatives were putting very difficult questions to the investigation team.
"There is a lack of depth in the answers and no adequate answer to some pertinent queries," she wrote.
Ms Weeks said she hoped the report would be thorough and contain the plane's manifest, but she was pessimistic.
"It's what we've been asking for, for so long but I'm not holding my breath," she said.
The search for MH370 ended in May after US-based seabed survey firm Ocean Infinity failed to locate the plane in the Indian Ocean under a "no find, no fee" deal with Malaysia.
That four-month effort came after the official search led by Australia, Malaysia and China was called off in early 2017.
Ms Weeks said the search had to go on as the crash may have been due to a problem with the Boeing 777 model.
"They need to keep searching - that's a given," she said.
"I understand that without new information, you're throwing the dice and hoping it's there.
Several theories have emerged about how the plane disappeared, with some suggesting it was deliberately crashed into the sea by the pilot.


Leading content management systems like WordPress have made managing websites much easier, but there are still things you still have to do manually out of the box, such as publishing content, performing backups and security/malware scans, database backups, and more.
Fortunately, some of WordPress' inbuilt features and additional plugins can further automate your daily website tasks and workflow. Let's take a closer look!
If you're blogging or producing a content website, then you need to spend time publishing your posts. But, what if you have a backlog of content that you want to publish at regular intervals or you have found an opportune time of day to push out your content?
Then, you need to start scheduling your posts in advance. Fortunately, WordPress has this feature inbuilt. All you have to do is change the publish date and time in the box on the right of every post editing page.
You can also find plugins with more advanced scheduling features of the basic feature isn't enough for you.
WordPress will notify you in the Admin panel when there is a new version of the platform to update and there is also an option to do this automatically. For the vast majority of people, this is a perfect solution and you shouldn't have to worry about okaying updates or doing them manually ever again.
However, you may want to tread a bit more carefully when using the automatic theme and plug-in updates, as these can sometimes wipe your content or modifications. For example, if you've added a bunch of code to your theme files and you aren't using 'child themes,' you could end up having to do it all again if the theme is automatically updated.
No matter what type of site you run on whatever platform, it is important to perform backups in case there's a security breach or something else goes wrong. You want a clean copy that you can re-upload.
You can various backups from within WordPress manually and you can also do this server/web host side if you have access.
There are also plug-ins, such as BackupBuddy and UpdraftPlus that can perform backups automatically.
If you upload a lot of images in your content, you probably have an optimal height (or at least width). You also probably don't want to waste a lot of bandwidth with large image file sizes.
One option to tackle these problems is to use an automated image optimization plugin like WP Smush or EWWW Image Optimizer.
WordPress itself has come a long way and allows you to use different sizes by default and even add 'alt' and 'title' tags to all of your images for SEO purposes.
If you're particularly concerned about bandwidth and site-load speed, you might consider a full-blown caching system like WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache.
Being able to automatically share your new WordPress posts across social media platforms is a huge time saver and can be accomplished in a number of ways—the easiest with exiting WordPress plugins.
AccessPress Social AutoPost is one of the most comprehensive options, but it does require you to pay a one-off fee. It lets you link all of your major social media accounts and define which content you'd like to auto-share based on your chosen parameters (i.e. only sharing from one specific category etc).
You can also schedule exactly the times you wish posts to be shared.
Tip: Some premium plug-ins can be expensive, so you might want to consider taking out an instant approval loan if you don't have the funds upfront.
WordPress now does a good job of filtering out spam comments automatically, but for more options, we recommend installing a third-party commenting system like Disqus, which has advanced blacklisting settings.
Disqus also integrates social media engagement and is less of a hassle for users, who can log-in to Disqus across multiple sites rather than having an account on your website specifically.
Do you run a WordPress Website and have further automated your daily tasks? Let us know how in the comments below!


Live dance is just better with live music. The energy, connection and interplay between art forms adds layers and dimensions to a performance that can't be achieved with recorded music. On April 5–7, award-winning composer Robert Een will perform live with Room To Move Dance in Shouts and Murmurs at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center. Described by Time Out New York as a "fiercely inventive composer," Een has written for such luminaries as Meredith Monk, Yoshiko Chuma and Liz Lerman — across dance, theater and film disciplines. This weekend, Een will play new compositions and revivals as part of an evening of choreographic works by company artistic director Amy Gately, Jacqueline Lopez, Faith Im and Samantha Spriggs.
Een shared more about his music and work with Room to Move Dance with ARTS ATL.
ARTS ATL: Tell us a little about the music you will be playing.
Robert Een: I have greatly enjoyed collaborating with Amy Gately and Room to Move Dance Company for the past two years. When Amy called to suggest we work together for another season, I jumped at the opportunity. I have composed original music for the new piece by Amy and the company entitled Shouts and Murmurs, as well as reviving our collaboration from last year's Water Passion. For Shouts and Murmurs, I predominantly will be singing and playing cello. On one piece, I will be playing five Chinese temple gongs in addition to voice and cello. I will also play piano for two new pieces that are part of the program.
ARTS ATL: What draws you to Amy Gately's work?
Een: It's hard to pinpoint exactly what draws you to an artist's choreography, but I'd say its kinetic, physical nature. As a person, Amy is such a nurturer. She includes other choreographers on the program and genuinely desires to train and connect with others. As a musician invited to play live, I enjoy the physical quality of playing an instrument and find in it a parallel to dancing.
ARTS ATL: How do you interact with dancers onstage?
Een: I have been composing and playing live for dance my entire career. I often think of my music for dance as a sonic response to the kinetic energy of a particular dance. This is true of my work with Amy and Room to Move. Amy begins with very specific concepts that motivate her choreography, and I respond to these, her verbal description, as well as joining the company in the studio to try out some of my musical ideas.
One of the wonderful features of performing music live with dancers is that we can both play off of each other. We can listen and watch each other and subtly adapt what we do in that moment. In effect, this means that, each night, the exact timing of a particular sequence of sound and movement will be dynamic and unique to that evening's performance.
ARTS ATL: Tell us a little about your work with overtone singing.
Een: I have been practicing overtone singing for a long time. I was especially made aware of this technique when I traveled to Tibet in 1985. When I returned to New York, I set upon learning to master this challenging and elusive technique. I have been incorporating it into my music compositions ever since. I also regularly teach overtone singing.
ARTS ATL: What is unique about composing for dance versus genres like theater and film?
Een: There are a lot of similarities — dance, theater and film have an affinity in their energy, their feeling and, for a composer, the question of "what do you do to drive this moment?" I have a BA in dance as well as music, and these art forms are a natural fit. In most universities, they are housed in separate departments, but, historically, music and dance are closely connected.
ARTS ATL: Do surprises happen onstage as a result of the live music-dance collaboration?
Een: Yes, but surprises onstage are usually good things. They are little spontaneous moments of breath rather than disruption. You can use them as an impetus, a moment of elasticity, a moment where you're really in the groove.
In the day of the internet, of virtual entertainment, people still like to share the same space and feel the energy of the performance together. I believe there will always be a place for a live performance.


I've never been to Ireland!
It's about 'Thinking Different' for goodness sake. (The picture above is of the Apple Store Palo Alto the week Steve Jobs died and reminds me of the importance of 'thinking different / thinking like an artist / never being satisfied with "OK").
So, I've just applied to tell a story / give a performance about my 'Art Not Work Manifesto'. Fingers Crossed…..

The Kirov will bring "Romeo and Juliet" to Kennedy Center from Jan. 16-21, 2007.
With this run I may be able to see only one performance - how can I choose which one now?
It's probably a bit too early for January casting to be set, let alone confirmed. I can tell you the usual Juliets however, and yes, Obratsova is one of them. Irina Golub is another. Between the two of them I highly recommend Obratsova, and my guess is she would dance opening night. But that's just a guess. Locally (although she never tours) Maya Dumchenko often dances the role. I will try to find out who else might dance in DC and let you know.
I'd also think that Obraztsova would be dancing on the opening night and she's the one I definitely want to see, but this time around I'm not going to buy any tickets before the casting is at least tentatively announced.
That's it. Unless someone else debuts in the role between now & January 2007 (Somova? Pavlenko?), the DC tour will, most likely, include the above Juliets. But Vishneva doesn't list the DC tour on her website and Dumchenko rarely tours (although she was in Cardiff in April '05). There's a real possibility that only Obraztsova & Golub will dance Juliet in DC, unless Vishneva miraculously appears &/or Dumchenko makes a rare touring appearance.
Novikova? That's interesting. If she does dance R&J it would be her debut... in Washington DC no less. My guess is that that general casting announcement doesn't mean anything, yet. I assume it's as the company usually does "including stars A-Z"...but the ones who actually travel and perform are a smaller group. I'd count on Obratsova and Golub -- NataliaN underlined my point.
...and I'm not holding my breath for the one Dumchenko Juliet to materialize at the Kennedy Center. Flying her all the way to DC just for one performance? Someone who hardly ever tours? Well, maybe we'll all be pleasantly surprised. hope so.
Well I think of it as the same as they've done for the tour. They listed, (as one major example) Daria Pavlenko on the tour roster, in advertising, (did they not?) but she isn't on the tour and there were apparently (I'm guessing) never plans to include her. (I'm referring to pre-tour advertising, not the actual tour programs, which apparently accurately reflect her absence). I am sure there are other names who were listed but who did not leave St. P for the USA. It's part of, one assumes, the marketing strategy.
So, I'm assuming the pattern is the same for this Kennedy Ctr announcement: they'll throw the names out there to sell tickets, and the number of dancers who show up to perform will be a smaller number in any case. A similar thing happens monthly on their web site, but mostly with the larger ballets or mixed bills: they'll list 3 or more principals and then narrow it down (or completely change the casting) as it gets closer to performance date.
BUT, to your point Natalia, wouldn't everyone be in for a treat if Dumchenko DID show up in DC!!
and is as follows. Dumchenko *is* listed, at least at this point(!!!!).
The company is soon headed back to St. Petersburg. I know several people who watched R&J in DC and really enjoyed it. If anyone cares to post their impressions here, please do so!
Evgenia Obratsova and Igor Kolb had what she described as an "electric chemistry". She said Kolb's lines were amazing and that, by the final curtain he seemed quite solemn, no doubt exhausted but still in "character", that the performance seemed to have really affected him.
She noted that Mercuriev, danced by Sasha Sergeev, was very accurate, entertaining, and impressive.
Selina and Lobukhin danced the Troubador and Juliet's friend, respectively, but were both unemotive in their roles.
She noted Galina Rakhmanova in the first scene, is still going strong, her dancing bright and spicy.
And finally she liked the Lavrovsky choreography, noting specifically the moment when Romeo hears of Juliet's death and does and immediate tour to the ground - musically quite fitting, she noted.
If anyone else attended, please do share!


Nayland College pianist Ben Kirby has brought home a pair of awards from the Nelson Performing Arts Competition, held last weekend. The Year 10 student earned the GHB Grocers Cup for his overall performance after placing first and second with his two recital pieces.
The adjudicators also chose to award Ben the Presidents Award for Most Promising Pianist. Well done Ben!

The two most important relationships that we make in our lives that are not actually related to us by our blood or are not born with them are the friendships that we make and the people that we choose to fall in love. The friends that we make in our lives have a special bond with us. And with years, the friends become a part of not our lives only but a part of our family too. And then comes a person who once was a stranger in our lives and then become the most important part of our life.
But often when we find the person with whom we fall in love with, he or she suddenly becomes our whole world but sometimes we tend to ignore the other people around us that care for us, love us and are there for us. and it has been seen that most of the people that actually take a back step when we do not care about the people around us are mostly our friends. We often lose our friends because we do not care or give time to the relationship and so today we present you some points as how your friendships can get affected by your relationship.
If you are not spending enough time with your friends anymore like you used to do then there is a chance that your friendship is being affected by your relationship. Yes, you won't be able to spend the same amount of time that you used to before having a relationship in your life with your friends now but you should at least make a little bit of time for your friends too.
You need to realise that you cannot ignore your friends or not talk to them or not meet them anymore just because you have a new person in your life with whom you are in love with you cannot let any new person change the dynamics of the old relations that you have had in your life before that person had entered. A new relationship should never ever decrease the importance of other people and other relations in your life.
Just because you have a new person in your life with whom you have fallen in love with does not mean that it gives you or anyone the liberty of taking the other people in your life for granted. You need to know this fact very clearly that no new person or even old one cannot ever replace the other person in your life and that someone's importance in your life should never be less because now a new person has entered your life.
Everyone has there has their own importance in your life and it is disrespectful in a way that a person does not hold the same importance or the same value in your life as he or she used to do just because now a new person who seems to be more interesting has entered your life or because it is exciting to meet a new person. 'It actually hurts everyone when the place is given to another person 'and they do not hold the same meaning and importance in your life anymore.
You see, like you need a person in your life with whom you can share your pain and your fear or like your secrets. In similar ways, your best friend also needs that person who can play these roles in his or her life and because they are your friends so it is your duty that you be with them when they need you or want your help.
Even, one day when you would like suffer from a heartbreak obviously your friend will be the first person that shall come into your mind to tell and share your pain with. So as you need them they also need you to be there for them because no matter what relation it is it requires efforts from both ends and it is necessary that one keeps this in mind that you have to be there for your friends when they need you even if now you have a new personal life that loves you or whom you love. That should never decrease the importance of other people in your life.
This was Manavta Kaundinya here to talk about how your new relationship can affect your friendship. Hope you liked the post. Have you faced any such thing in your life?? Don't forget to share it with us in the comments section below.

Adam Hulett
When he was a kid, Adam liked to sketch NBA logos. At some point, he realized this was called "design" and it was what he wanted to do when he grew up. Adam's "full-on passion" for design finds inspiration in his other loves: Hiking and camping. Art and architecture. Music ranging from the Beatles to Metallica. Pinterest, his addictive "wall of wonder." Like the NBA logos, all these and more feed Adam's creative imagination. "Creativity can solve almost any problem," he says, quoting George Lois. "The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything."
Ann Javier
SEO Manager + UX Designer
CQ + PQ > IQ. In a world where information is readily available, curiosity plus passion outweigh your intelligence quotient. Ann embodies that equation. And she helps others take advantage of it by making information easy to find and use. It's not just knowing how to choose the optimum keywords. Ann is a terrific writer, content developer and user-experience specialist who makes sure that top search results always lead to meaningful learning. She's also a climber, traveler, yogi, photographer, epicure and cook. About the only thing Ann can't do is whistle. Her coworkers are fine with that.
Brad Czerniak
"I do one thing, I do it very well, and then I move on." Brad applies the philosophy of Major Charles Emerson Winchester III from M*A*S*H in all he does, whether it's cutting through support tickets like a wartime surgeon, creating elegant technical architectures or sprinting intervals to improve his race times. A librarian by training and Drupal master by calling, Brad quotes another classic character, Isaac Jaffe from Sports Night, on the need for perspective: "If you're dumb, surround yourself with smart people. If you're smart, surround yourself with smart people who disagree with you."
Carl Triemstra
Everyone who joins Symmetri discovers on day one that Carl is a passionate guy. You can't miss his drive, whether he's cheering on the Michigan Wolverines or his own Symmetri team. Showing photos of his grandchildren or showing a new branding plan to a client. Singing in his choral group or singing out in the office halls, "Make it happen! Move the mouse!" Whatever the pursuit, the important thing is to go all in, all the way. Carl's passion is infectious, and we've all caught it. That's why we love delivering our best under his remarkable leadership.
Casey Lewis
Project Management Team Lead
Working with a variety of talented individuals is one of the things Casey loves best about project management. But when he's not working, he's often chasing down his 2-year old daughter, or two energetic dogs. No slouch himself, Casey finished his first marathon five years ago after never running before. Since then he also gets out golfing, boating, and scuba diving. But his true passion was hockey, and as a youth has competed with a handful of NHL players.
Christina Feuerstein
A Chicago native of Italian heritage, Christina will scold you if you put ketchup on your hot dog, and rightly so. She wants to guide you to the best eating experience possible – a trait she probably picked up at age five when her grandma taught her what garlicky red fish sauce can do for clams and oysters. She also wants to guide you to the best project experience possible. "Working toward an awesome end product is what motivates me," she says. "Let's do this." Topping it off with sport peppers and celery salt, of course.
Clair Loewy
Director of Digital Experience
Clair learned early on that in order to create user-centered experiences she needed to know the users she was centering the experience around. This lead to a passion for creating personas. Relying on 10+ years in UX and creative product design, as well as hundreds of hours spent interviewing users of all types, Clair has created and honed her own approach to building behavior and goal-focused personas that help businesses reach their most valuable audience, and their most important objective. She's practiced this skill over the last decade at both big and small agencies, from Leo Burnett to Punchkick interactive in Chicago.
Garrett Miller
Garrett is a Front End Web Developer who draws from his diverse background to develop responsive websites with the Symmetri team. He studied Comparative Cultures and Politics at Michigan State University and completed a full-time Front-End Bootcamp through Grand Circus in Detroit Michigan. He spent the last year traveling America and immersing himself in the all things tech, because... why not? His interests include: biking, chess, history, music, and much more. He doesn't have a dog, but if he did he'd call it "Chompers" after Noam Chomsky.
Geraldo Ramos
Senior Drupal Developer
A senior Drupal and front-end developer with 10 years of experience, Geraldo is both the smart and fun guy in the room. He's lived in Michigan his whole life, developing his passion for web development and today's latest technologies. Geraldo received an Associates Degree of Applied Science from the ITT Technical Institute.
Jonas White
With Jonas, it's hard to know where to begin. Is it his obsession with vacuums, or his close encounter with Beyonce? So FETCH! But seriously, it might be that his energy is off the charts. If he isn't at work talking wireframes and user experience, he's out volunteering, doing a triathlon, or planting a garden. A former retail buyer, he's also passionate about clothes and is always well dressed. Although a night in with Netflix is a possibility, you won't have to worry about food because he loves to cook too!
Her favorite "place" is water, with Big Ten and national championships in water polo, although she also seems to enjoy bike saddles and running shoes as a competitive triathlete. When not on the move, she loves teaching her toddler American Sign Language, eliciting an amazing ability to communicate even before little Avery began using verbal language. What does all that have to do with Krista's role as Account Director? She immerses herself in every challenge. She goes all out to the finish line. And she'll do whatever it takes to understand and respond to your needs.
Kristen Beyer
Kristen is on the road to managing some of Symmetri's most exciting projects, as well as fully meeting her client's expectations. But getting here took a side trip to London where she lived for two years while completing her master's degree in Digital Marketing & Analytics. Now she lives with her cat, Mr. Ollie, and leaves the adventures to building web pages, exploring Northville, and taking in a hot yoga class.
Mark Masseur
Principle, Executive Creative Director
Mark is a designer's designer. His big-picture concepting and attention to every detail of execution influences virtually everything we create – whether or not he personally touched it. That's because he's also a mentor's mentor. Count on Mark to ask the tough questions that get you thinking deeply about the project's true aspirations. And your own. If your art and copy can work harder to uncover needs, deliver answers and inspire action, Mark will help you find the way.
Nina Whalen
Associate Director, Digital Marketing
Nina honed her social game as a sportscaster/news director at Radio DePaul while earning a double major in journalism and new media. Then she hit the ice as a digital producer/reporter covering the Chicago Blackhawks for Comcast SportsNet, where she was named by Sporting News as a "Must-Follow Twitter Account." After joining the marketing world, she managed multiple social media channels and developed websites while writing for Fortune, Forbes, Entrepreneur and Inc. Nina's a hat trick: smart, social and Symmetrical.
Phill Tran
For Phill, simplifying the online process is the easiest part of his life. Offline can be a little trickier, but just as rewarding. His day usually starts with his son waking him up around 5:00 a.m., and it ends after various trips to school clubs, church events, and sports activities. There isn't much that Phill doesn't do, except maybe sleep. But he's ok with that, because he knows that raising a strong family will have a far-reaching impact. Even his hair has had an impact—he's grown it out and donated it three times to charity.
Ryan Hirst
Front End Web Developer
As a proud Michigan State grad, Ryan left Lansing with a Bachelor's degree in media and information and then found his way to Commercial Progression through his love for web development and his experience with Drupal. Before starting up with Commercial Progression, Ryan worked on several high profile Drupal websites; including the Ford Drive 4UR School and Community websites. As a diversion from his computer saturated work life, Ryan is slowly earning his cooking science degree… one savory meal at a time.
Shane Sevo
Sales Engineer / Drupal Strategist
If Woody Allen, W. H. Auden, Kanye West, and David Hasselhoff met in a bar, Shane would invite them to join his book club in classic Rushmore style. Raised as an only child with never enough Legos, educated as a misplaced engineer, and finding his own in digital media, he's as surprised as anyone at landing on a marketing career. Shane wages campaigns with the mantra, "Real artists ship," constantly calling the publish button in his work. A Finnish lumberjack at heart, he's always planning an escape into the woods of distant lands.
Tom Smart
Tom fell in love with the written word around the same time he started wrecking things to see how they work. Fortunately, he now limits himself to taking words apart – then throwing out the ones that aren't working and putting the rest back together better than before. But he never lost his fascination for structure, tools and technology. That's why he sees B2B marketing as a perfect fit. He gets to explore what engineers and other brilliant people do – then put words to work to help them do it better. All without breaking anything.

What does that song mean?
Understanding Lyrics Through Applied Music Theory
Posted Oct 31st 2011, 13:07 by Penguin Pete
Here at Lyric Interpretations, we're of course in the business of helping you understand your favorite music through analysis. But sometimes, trying to coherently interpret lyrics is the least likely path to understanding a song. This is because the medium of songs unite two art forms: instrumental music and poetry.
We're going to try to keep this from sounding too much like a classroom, but just give you a brief introduction to "lyric mechanics" and an example here and there. All you have to remember is if the lyrics to a song don't make logical sense, they're probably emphasizing to one of the following methods instead:
Symmetry - This is the most obvious one. Rhyming is a form of symmetry - rhyming 'moon' with 'June'. In order to rhyme, to verses have to scan with the same number of syllables (or have a pattern and meter that agree - many singers may fudge a line here and there). Sometimes a rule of grammar or spelling may be broken just to keep the symmetry - a good example is in "Down in Mexico" by The Coasters: "He wears a red bandanna, plays a blues 'piana'..."
But rhyming isn't the only way to achieve symmetry - there's also alliteration (rhyming at the beginning of a word instead of the end, such as "Peter Piper picked a peck..."), assonance (rhyming vowel sounds, such as "Do you view true?"), consonance (repeated consonant sounds, such as "double bubble, toil and trouble"), and then there's simply rhyming ideas instead of the sounds that represent them.
Articulation - This is the rule governing a syllable's beginning and ending - it's a matter of whether the syllable is pronounced with an accent, a slur, a staccato, or legato expression. This is easier to understand by example: Which name sounds stronger, "Frank Black" or "Francis Whithers"?
This comes into play the most in music genres that emphasize the spoken word over the music - rap and a cappella come to mind. Rap, especially, calls for crisp, solid syllables that fall into place like bricks forming a wall. Soft adult contemporary music, usually done to a slower tempo, falls more relaxingly on the ear with more whispery syllables. Musically, articulation is a matter of whether you pluck or strum a string.
Meter - This is the pattern or rhythm of a series of syllables strung together. It's practically a whole field of linguistic study all to itself, so pick your nearest English major (they have a lot of time on their hands anyway) and ask them to give you some examples.
We'll just point out that there is a beat to syllables, and the patterns of these beats all have names. There's two-beat patterns (dimeter), five-beat patterns (pentameter), stressed+unstressed patterns (trochee), stressed+unstressed+unstressed patterns (dactyl), and an absolute swamp of complicated jargon to wade through. One good term to know is "common meter", which is why the theme to the TV show Gilligan's Island can be sung to the tune of "Amazing Grace" and vice versa. Little Peggy March's 1963 hit "I Will Follow Him" exploits an "amphibrach" pattern in the chorus: "I love him, I love him, I love him, and where he goes I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow" 'I love him' and 'I'll follow' both have an unstressed+stressed+unstressed pattern.
Form - This is the farthest-reaching affect, hardest of all to perceive on the lyrics themselves, but a faint influence can be seen. "Form" in music is just the architecture of a song itself, determining whether we go with a verse-verse-chorus pattern or a chorus-verse pattern. Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" follows a verse-verse-chorus pattern, although even this is loosened up by instrumental pauses. Form also dictates whether the verse and chorus compliment ("Louie, Louie") or contrast ("All You Need Is Love"). You may not know every musical form, but surely you can tell a blues ballad from a Gregorian chant.
Don't think too hard about this unless you want to go pro, or you might end up swaggering around throwing out phrases like "anapestic tetrameter toccata" like it was the most natural thing to say.

Oh I am sorry – i didn't say it correctly – how does one get a ticket to Barbados? Would that person need to have an American or UK or European visa?
