Under normal conditions, the two second rule is an easy way to make sure you have allowed enough following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front, no matter what speed you're traveling at.
Watch the vehicle in front of you pass a landmark - such as a sign, tree or power pole - at the side of the road.
As it passes the landmark, start counting "one thousand and one, one thousand and two".
If you pass the landmark before you finish saying those eight words, you are following too closely - slow down, pick another landmark and repeat the words to make sure you have increased your following distance.
In bad weather, when the road is wet or slippery, or when you're towing a trailer, you need to increase your following distance to four seconds, because you'll take longer to stop if you need to.
To check that you are travelling four seconds behind the vehicle in front, follow the instructions above for the two second rule, but count "one thousand and one, one thousand and two, one thousand and three, one thousand and four" instead.
If you're following another vehicle and you don't intend to overtake them, you must leave enough space in front of your vehicle for vehicles to pass you.

Dona Drake

Like Webster's dictionary, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour are "Morocco-bound" in the third and considered by most to be the best entry in the popular Road series. Survivors of a Mediterranean shipwreck, stowaways Jeff (Crosby) and Orville (Hope) paddle to a North African shore and hitch a camel ride across the desert to Morocco. In order to buy food, Jeff sells Orville into slavery—but Orville's owner turns out to be the luscious Princess Shalmar (Lamour), who quickly offers to become his wife. Unfortunately, the true reason for the Princess's proposal soon becomes clear. Her prophet has warned that her first husband will meet a violent death within days of their marriage, so she decided to marry Orville instead of her beloved Mullay Kasim (Anthony Quinn). Nominated for two Oscars® including Original Screenplay, Road to Morocco is highlighted by Bing's rendition of one of his best-loved songs, the unforgettable "Moonlight Becomes You," and the memorable title song by Hope and Crosby. Directed by David Butler (They Got Me Covered).

I love tribute records, or at least good ones. Tribute records that aren't just straight covers but really take the originals and put a new spin on them. And something about the idea of a New Orleans brass band covering Daft Punk just fills me with glee. As Brassft Punk producer Earl Scioneaux points out, there have been a ton of great electronica takes on classic music, and he wants to turn that idea on its head.
Yes. Please do that, Earl.

In 2007, the Association of American Railroads (AAR), the rail industry's trade group, told the Surface Transportation Board that the railroad industry had "only slowly made progress toward the goal of long-term financial stability." Yet filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) show the four largest U.S. rail carriers have nearly doubled their collective profit margin since the year 2000.
"Last week, President Obama asked for $50 billion dollars in new spending for transportation infrastructure, much of which would benefit the railroad industry. This report should make every Member of Congress think twice. Before Congress considers more funding for the freight railroad monopoly, they need to pass meaningful rail reform legislation that would protect consumers from the railroads' monopoly pricing power," said English. A full copy of the Senate report can be found here.

Cornel Lupu
Romania, Political prisoner in Romania
The real motive of his arrest
"My opinion is that... the goal both of party and Securitate was to intimidate people for collectivization to happen. And it was exactly like this how it happened, because in the spring of '59 they started the collectivization which ended in '62… when they made us a kind of favor... It's not the same thing to know that you stand with a sentence of penal servitude for life... or 25 years. Although we never thought we would resist a sentence of 25 years. We had examples, however, after release, after the decree... amnesty from... '64, were people who endured 22-23 years of imprisonment, but we didn't think it, I knew that all... This invention was made with a purpose, and it must have come to an end."
Religious life in prison
"It wasn't allowed to pray in the cell, but there were also priests in detention with us and not a single day passed without them serving the liturgy. And we made the liturgy together with the priests. They were doing the ceremonial, while we were singing... We were responding them from the cell. There were priests in the prison. At least one was in the cell with us... They were a few only when we were imprisoned for short periods of time. During the Easter we had situations when, like I told you, that were giving us tonic wine when we were weakened... we always kept a certain amount of quantity from the tonic wine for Easter blessing. And if we could not get it from outside..., there were among the guardians... some faithful and God-fearing men who put us at the window… and when we went for a walk... so we could have find it at the window. The ceremonial was done differently in the cell. They were consecrated by the priest, in those conditions, but we were able to celebrate the Easter."
Receiving the news that his wife divorced him
"While I was staying in the cell at Gherla prison, the door opened and a guard calls me: 'Come here bandit Lupu!' This is the way they called us... I presented to the door: 'Sign here!' 'For what, sergeant?' Well, it says divorce decision.' And I signed it. I signed it although I wasn't present to the trial, I knew nothing of this divorce, but I realized that... my wife was persecuted outside: 'I sign... for her to escape the persecution.' And going back in the cell... an old man... he said he was a lawyer, former lawyer of the Royal Court... Banescu. Lawyer Banescu. He asked me: 'What have you signed, mister Lupu?' 'Well, I said, the divorce decision.' 'You shouldn't have!' Then he reacted... 'You shouldn't have signed it, mister Lupu! If tomorrow they release you, what do then?' 'Mister Banescu, if tomorrow I will leave the prison… I know why my wife took this decision.' And this is the truth; she was fired from all her jobs."

If you are a guy wanting to lose weight, I'm sure you've heard all of the many lose weight fast gimmicks before. Here is the cold, hard truth: all of those detoxifying juice cleanses, crash-courses and fad diets for fast weight loss usually are lacking in the essential nutrients that are needed in order for your body to function.
When men rely on short-term solutions for losing weight, they frequently end up just gaining all of that weight back which results in them being as overweight or even heavier than they were before.
So if you are looking for the fastest way for guys to lose weight, we have a much better solution for you. Instead of trying to shock your body into losing weight fast with random methods that may be ineffective and unsafe, use the following tips to help you start burning fat rapidly in a healthy and effective way.
In order to lose weight fast, you need to make changes to your diet. Losing weight is all about taking in fewer calories than you burn.
For a majority of men, that involves reducing their intake of carbs and consuming more fat and protein instead. Carbohydrates such as potatoes, bread, rice, and pasta have a tendency to be calorie-dense, which makes it more difficult to lose weight fast.
So if you weight 185 pounds and tend to eat 400 grams of carb per day, try to consume 300 grams per day instead for the first week, and then the next week reduce that down to 200 grams per day.
Then try reducing that down to 100 grams of carbs per day in the following week. Consuming a low amount of carbs will help your body lose weight fast, while still getting the nutrients that it needs to stay healthy.
This involves alternating cycles of eating and fasting. There are many studies that show that intermittent fasting can lead to weight loss, protect against disease and improve metabolic health.
Studies have shown that fat oxidation is increased by intermittent fasting, which promotes increased fat loss. When fasting is combined with exercise it can also increase insulin sensitivity, which helps your body divide nutrients better between muscle and fat.
There are various intermittent fasting methods that can be used. All of them split up the week or day into fasting periods and eating periods. One of the most popular ones is the 16/8 method where you fast each day for 16 hours and only eat during an 8-hour time frame, for example from noon to 8 pm.
To burn fat fast, it is necessary to workout at a more strenuous level. High-intensity interval training burns more calories and fat when compared with continuous, moderate-level aerobic training.
The type of exercise involves alternating intervals of going all out for short bursts followed by rest periods. For example, you might go all out for 1 minute, followed by 4 minutes of rest.
Instead of working out for hours on end on the treadmill, focus on performing high-intensity fat burning exercises that target your whole body. You can perform HIIT on an exercise machine, such as a treadmill, bike or Stairmaster, or do wind sprints or another combination of exercise that alternate between going all out and rest periods.
In order to lose weight fast, it is critical that your body gets enough protein. Protein helps you stay feeling pull, to prevent unnecessary snacking and overeating.
It also provides you with a boost in calorie burn all through your day since more energy is needed to digest protein compared to fat or carbs.
Protein also helps to prevent loss of muscle that can occur when you have a caloric deficit to lose weight. Each one gram of protein at least per pound of your body weight. Your protein should come from whole sources such as eggs, nuts, and lean meats, along with high-quality protein powders.
Studies have shown that using a fish oil supplement can help to increase your muscle gain and reduce your fat mass. To lose fat quickly, consume 1 gram of fish oil for every 1% of body fat.
So, if you have 16% body fat, then you should consume 16 grams of fish oil daily. Spread this out throughout your day.
Drinking lots of water will help your body stay hydrated. This allows you to perform at optimum levels. When you are dehydrated it can reduce your metabolism due to your body attempting to conserve fluids.
It also can greatly reduce your workout performance at the gym. Drinking water can also help you lose fat faster through increasing your metabolism.
This may sound like a no-brainer, but one of the best ways to lose weight fast is to try a program that has been proven to work. Why not leave it to the pros, and follow a system that can help your reach your weight loss goals fast?
There are plenty of options out there, and we have dozens of options reviewed here at Dad Quarters, so if you're looking for inspiration, we're a good place to start.
These are just a few of our favorite options, so feel free to check them out and see if one of them is going to meet your diet needs. The thing I like about all of these diets, is that they teach you the skill you will need to keep the weight off for good. This means, they aren't fad diets, but rather programs for lifelong weight loss.
If I had to pick just one for you to check out, I'd suggest looking at the Mayo Clinic Diet – it's cheap, easy to follow, and produces some pretty awesome weight loss results.
Weight loss can seem overwhelming sometimes, but it doesn't have to be that way! Follow these tips for a good start on your weight loss journey, and you will be on your way to reaching your goals in no time!
As always, make sure you consult with a medical doctor before starting any new diet, to make sure you're healthy enough for it!

Markus Schulz: "Ferry Corsten & I, will do Transmission 2018 anthem"
Markus Schulz, aka. The Unicorn Slayer, is undoubtedly one of the most iconic artists in the worldwide Trance Scene and every time we attend any of his events, we end up with a huge smile and happy memories. As summer approaches, we had the chance to chat with Markus in Dubai to talk about his upcoming projects and more.
Starting off, in our previous interview in Prague, Markus mentioned a new upcoming album and this time we were able to find out what's it's called. Markus stated that "It's going to be called 'We Are The Light' and I already got a few songs that are out with Emma Hewitt, JES and more. There's a couple of surprises in there as well so it's going to be a big one". The difference between Markus Schulz music and his Dakota's project is that Dakota is more of what's going on inside Markus while his regular music is more people oriented. "It's called 'We Are The Light' because it's about the Trance Family and with everything going on in the world, we are the light, we need to shine on to the world and make it a better place".
Talking about his latest In Bloom EP, Markus mentioned that he got plans to release this EP every year after the huge success his GDJB In Bloom show got, which was all vocal Trance. Markus also mentioned that he is planning on releasing "Afterdark EP" soon following his successful Afterdark sets. One of the best characteristics about 'Coldharbour Recordings' is the amazing roster of talents. "I'm always trying to find new artists and develop them. Every artist in Coldharbour has to be patient and willing to work. When I hear a demo, I think about what it could be. In my opinion, a demo is a demo and not the finished product, so I work with the artist to get it ready for the market".
After his Dakota performance at Transmission last year, Markus is back this year to perform under his original name and the reason is simple since Markus was doing a special edition last year featuring Dakota. This year Markus got an album so there will be lots of new stuff and remixes that he will be playing at Transmission. But what Markus revealed to us was something we never expected. "I can tell you here, Ferry Corsten & I are going to do Transmission Theme this year together". Here you have it .. Boom! "We haven't got the chance to properly sit down in the studio as we like, but we've always helped each other and hang out. I don't know if it's going to be New World Punx or Ferry & Markus, we'll figure it out, but we'll be working in the studio together soon".

On Saturday, October 12th, Transmission touched down in the city of Prague & we had the pleasure to have a talk with Ferry Corsten as System F.

Select an event that not only has enough exposure to make an impact, but is small enough to make a sizable splash and also follows the voice of your company and the persona of your customers.
Whether a social media manager, intern, agency or freelancer runs your social media, you need to make sure they know what needs to be done. They need to know your social voice and tone and what processes are in place for approvals. Many of the real-time marketing fails are due to staffers not understanding the voice of the company, or perhaps not going through the right approval channels.
Once you have trained your people and know they know what to do in a given situation, you need to trust them to make the right decisions. Every Ritz-Carlton employee has the capability (without manager approval) to spend up to $2000 to accommodate guests requests. This empowers their employees to make decisions that have kept the Ritz at the top of customer service. Similarly, you need to trust your employees to take some risks to make the right decisions to propel your real-time marketing efforts – nothing ventured, nothing earned.
Have a brainstorming session to relate your products or services to the event. Surely Oreo couldn't have predicted the blackout, but there are some obvious tie-ins with events. Sports drinks and athletic gear at sporting events, clothing designers for red-carpet events, vehicle manufacturers at car races etc. What is unique about that event? How does your product play a part, but more importantly, how does your audience or target feel about the part you play, or what is a part the audience can play in your story? Sketch out a few ideas so you can act more quickly in real-time.
Prepare image stockpiles and other resources ahead of time. Be sure to note where directors or leadership may be reached for real-time approvals. Anyone that has worked in the creative fields knows that approvals, changes, re-approvals and more changes and final approvals can take forever. When copy and creative has to be written and designed in moments, this process needs to be practiced and rehearsed. Remember when you did fire drills as a kid in school? Everyone knew where to go and what to do. Do the same with your marketing team so you know when and where everyone's place is and make sure these people are available when the event takes place.
Follow the official handles and accounts of the event, event sponsors, presenters or personalities involved in the event. Sometimes a witty quip or interesting response to one a post by one of these accounts is enough to garner some attention. You'll also want to follow them to see back stage or behind the scenes coverage of the event, such as this image tweeted of Joseph Gordon Levitt and Radcliffe after their Oscars dance number. This is a perfect photo for a witty retort.
Let your fans, followers, customers, partners, vendors, prospects and community know that you'll be covering the event on your social media channels. It helps to increase impressions of your posts and helps to increase the chance you'll have a fun dialogue and increased retweets.
Finally, make sure to listen. Set up your social media listening tools in advance to listen to the conversations around the event. See what comments people are making about the athletes, actors or whoever is participating in your event. These make great jumping points for real-time marketing, but make sure to credit anyone that might have contributed to any creative you produce.
Have you had success with real time marketing or newsjacking? Let us know in the comments below.
As a consumer, I love it when brands are creative and quirky. It makes life a lot more fun. But marketers look at Oreo and say,"Hmm maybe I should as my team to work overtime and get a lot more content out", or "Maybe I can hire someone that specialises in real-time marketing".

Richard Ashcroft claims he feels shunned by England and more respected in Scotland during Glasgow gig
Labels: miscellaneous, richard ashcroft tour update

The ex-Verve frontman wowed the SSE Hydro tonight after venting his frustrations about how he's viewed back home
Rock star Richard Ashcroft revealed he feels shunned by England – and more respected up in Scotland.
The ex-Verve frontman wowed Glasgow's SSE Hydro tonight.
And vented his frustrations about how he's viewed back home.
Richard – who's from Wigan – admitted: "It's a strange feeling for an Englishman to be loved more in Glasgow and Buenos Aires, than in England.
"I was catching pints at the Barrowlands twenty f***ing years ago."
The singer, 45, revelled in rocking the giant arena, playing full versions of every track with big endings.
He said: "I think we should take over these places more often."
Kicking off with "Hold On" – Richard mixed up the set with solo stuff like "Break the Night With Colour" and "Out Of My Body."
Plus he also cranked out Verve classics "Sonnet," "Lucky Man" and "Velvet Morning."
And left smash hit "Bitter Sweet Symphony" to the end – as well as urging fans to get on Instagram.
He added: "I know a lot of you think it's s***.
"But join me on there, I like to see what you're up to.
"I have got a lot of creative fans and it brings us all together."

Huawei P30 Pro vs Pixel 3 Camera Comparison
Nirave Gondhia
Huawei's P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro were the best smartphone cameras of 2018 until Google announced the Pixel 3 at the end of the year. The Pixel 3 stole the crown from Huawei as Google showed it's not hardware, but rather, software that truly matters when it comes to photos.
Fast forward a few months, and we now have the P30 Pro which aims to steal the crown right back from Google. Huawei says that software can only go so far and hardware needs to be improved to make a truly great photo.
Which company's approach is the best? We spent a few minutes with the P30 Pro so let's see if Huawei's latest flagship can topple Google's flagship.
Note: the Huawei P30 Pro sample we used was running pre-release software so these images may not be indicative of the final experience which should be improved further. We won't be pixel peeping the images until our full camera comparison with a unit running final software. All comparisons have the P30 Pro on the left and Pixel 3 on the right unless otherwise stated.
First up is an ultra wide angle comparison. The Pixel 3 only has a single camera so Google uses software and AI to produce a wide angle "effect". We say effect, as these pictures show there's no substitute for a proper ultra-wide-angle camera. To capture the Pixel 3's photo, we zoomed out as far as the interface would allow us to do so.
Next up, we take a look at the regular images captured by both phones. The P30 Pro has a wider field of view compared to the Pixel 3 and both images seem to capture details really well, whilst also accurately reproducing the colors.
Pictures in this order (left to right, top to bottom): P30 Pro 5x optical, 10x hybrid, 50x digital, Pixel 3 max digital zoom
Now to zoom, and this is where the P30 Pro beats the Pixel 3 hands down. Google again relies solely on software to achieve digital zoom, while the P30 Pro has the hardware to capture images at 5X optical zoom, 10X Hybrid zoom or up to 50x digital zoom.
Below you'll find the same set of ultra-wide-angle, regular, and various zoom shots from both phones with an alternative subject.
While Google's software chops are certainly impressive, Huawei shows that the hardware on the P30 Pro is more than a match for the Pixel 3's mostly software based approach. We'll see if this changes with our full camera shootout, or when Google and Huawei both release their next flagships at the end of the year.
Now to low-light mode, where Google surprised all the world with its Night sight feature that is the technology equivalent of magic. The P20 Pro was the first device to really show that a night mode is a must-have on a phone and the P30 Pro builds on this. Its new yellow-pixel based sensor rather than green, allows it to let in more light which is apparent in these images.
What about with night mode enabled? The Pixel 3 does well to capture the same amount of detail as the P30 Pro's regular lowlight shot, but the P30 Pro's night mode pushes the boundaries further. Another image we captured – which we can't share – showcased that the P30 Pro is even further ahead than these images show, but we'll wait for our full comparison before passing judgement.
The P30 Pro takes the better image here, at least in my personally. The Pixel 3's image is far too dark and Google struggles with dynamic range in this photo, which is a surprise as the Pixel 3 is usually really good in this area.
Now to selfies, and the Pixel 3 takes a slightly better overall image here. The P30 Pro selfie camera is vastly improved over last year, but Google's software prowess allows it to take excellent selfies. There's also the software-driven slightly-wider field-of-view which helps to fit more into selfies.
There's not a lot of differences between these two images. Both companies add a fair amount of bokeh while keeping the subject in focus, but the colors are slightly more realistic on the Pixel 3.
Overall, this is just a quick look at how the new P30 Pro's camera compares to the current king of cameras, the Pixel 3. It's too early to say which is absolutely the best, but the P30 Pro certainly looks to have stolen the crown back from Google, at least for now.

Gut microbiota plays role in brain function, mood regulation
Paweł Czerwiński/Unsplash
A healthy gut microbiota contributes to normal brain function, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Communications.
The bacterial population in the gut, known as the gut microbiota, is the largest reservoir of bacteria in the body. Research has increasingly shown that the host and the gut microbiota are an excellent example of systems with mutually beneficial interactions. Recent observations also revealed a link between mood disorders and damage to the gut microbiota, including a correlation between the gut microbiota and the efficacy of an antidepressant medication. Some of the mechanisms governing depression, the leading cause of disability worldwide, remained unknown.
Using animal models, researchers recently discovered that a change to the gut microbiota brought about by chronic stress can lead to depressive-like behaviors, by causing a reduction in lipid metabolites in the blood and the brain. These lipid metabolites, known as endocannabinoids, coordinate a communication system in the body which is significantly hindered by the reduction in metabolites. Gut microbiota plays a role in brain function and mood regulation, the researchers said.
Endocannabinoids bind to receptors that are also the main target of tetrahydrocannabinol, the most widely known active component of cannabis. The scientists discovered that an absence of endocannabinoids in the hippocampus, a key brain region involved in the formation of memories and emotions, resulted in depressive-like behaviors.
The researchers obtained these results by studying the microbiotas of healthy animals and animals with mood disorders. Additionally, the scientists identified some bacterial species that are significantly reduced in animals with mood disorders. They then demonstrated that an oral treatment with the same bacteria restored normal levels of lipid derivatives, thereby alleviating the depressive-like behaviors. These bacteria could therefore serve as an antidepressant, the researchers said.
"This discovery shows the role played by the gut microbiota in normal brain function," said Gérard Eberl, PhD, joint last author of the study, in a statement. "If there is an imbalance in the gut bacterial community, some lipids that are vital for brain function disappear, encouraging the emergence of depressive-like behaviors. In this particular case, the use of specific bacteria could be a promising method for restoring a healthy microbiota and treating mood disorders more effectively."

Harvard Medical School has received a $200 million donation — the largest in its history — to support research into fundamental questions about human illness and health.
The pledge, from the Blavatnik Family Foundation, will enable the school to hire researchers, add to its advanced technology, and build an "incubator" in the Longwood area to help bring research findings to market.

The Baroque Period: Music History, Composers and Pieces
The Baroque period is the first major musical period, and lasted from about 1600 to 1750. It's in this period where you'll find composers such as the esteemed JS Bach.
Music from this era is very different from more modern styles, and can be more difficult to listen to and play because of this. But Baroque music is very rewarding to get into – nothing teaches you hand independence like learning some fugues by Bach.
The Baroque Period
Baroque Period: Beginner's video guide, part 1 and part 2
This video series goes into depth on the baroque period in music, the influential composers from this time, and genres and instruments that were popular.
Baroque keyboard music: Basics of the style
Playing baroque music on the piano is quite a bit different than playing anything more modern. The main reason for this is because pianos didn't even exist in the baroque era (harpsichords, clavichords and organs were the available keyboards).
This means we have to adjust our playing style to properly capture the baroque style as pianists.
A brief history of the opera, part 1
Opera was a big part of the baroque era, so it seemed important to plant this video here. The first video discusses opera in the baroque and classical eras of music.
Baroque Composers and Influential People
A brief history of Johann Sebastian Bach
Bach was the man in the baroque era. He was very prolific, extremely capable and talented, and wrote a huge amount of music that essentially defines the era. He also wrote a ton of keyboard music for all levels of pianists.
John Taylor, the scoundrel who blinded Bach and Handel
Not all music history is roses and wonderful people! Some people, like John Taylor, profited from bunk pseudoscience.
The (awesome) music of Bach: 5 favorites
This video is a good starting point if you're just getting into Bach and/or baroque music. It features some of his most-loved piece in a wide variety of genres.
Top 5 Bach pieces from movies & TV
This video is a fun look at the Bach music to permeate pop culture – you've likely heard some or all of these. It's also a good primer to Bach, the main composer of the baroque period.
Bach's (epic) Goldberg Variations: An analysis on theme & variations
Though this video includes a discussion on the song form theme & variations, it features the famous Bach Goldberg Variations. It's a long composition mainly because it features a short melody that is altered a bunch of times.
An analysis of Canon in D (for casual music fans)
Canon in D is one of the most famous pieces from the baroque era, written by Pachelbel. It exists in many variations, versions and recreations today. You've probably heard it at at least one wedding.
The Baroque dance suite (aka the most common baroque genre)
The dance suite was one of the most popular genres in this period, and you're bound to come across them in your piano-playing journey.
Bach's French Suite no. 1: An analysis and closer look
Once you have an understanding of the baroque dance suite, this video takes you on a tour of one famous dance suite by Bach, his first French Suite.
Handel's Hallelujah Chorus
Handel's Messiah is a Christmas staple, and a Baroque classic. This brief analysis looks at the Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah.
The Four Seasons by Vivaldi: Summer
Vivaldi's Four Seasons is well-known, particularly "Spring". But I really love "Summer" – it's all storms and anxious shepherds. It's very pictoral songwriting (program music).
Baroque Tutorials
Spring by Vivaldi beginner piano tutorial
This preparatory/beginner level piece is a nice introduction to Vivaldi's famous string piece "Spring". It features a steady left hand beat, and a light right hand melody.
Bourree in E minor from the Notebook for Wolfgang
This preparatory-level piece was written for Mozart by his father, Leopold. Many beginners find baroque-style music difficult because it requires more left hand movement and hand independence, but that's exactly why I recommend practicing them.
Bach Chorale tutorial: BWV 514, grade 1 piano
Chorales are tough because they imitate multiple voices singing at once – but you only have two hands when you're playing piano, or so I assume. This can be found in the grade 1 RCM syllabus.
Telemann's Fantasia in G minor: Piano tutorial
This is another tough grade 1 level piece for the same reasons mentioned above – it requires dexterity and hand independence.
Canon in D piano tutorial
Pachelbel's Canon in D is very famous, especially for weddings. I thought it would be fun to make my own grade 2-level arrangement of this lovely piece. It should be doable for pianists who have been playing at least a year.
Minuet in G tutorial, BWV Anh. 114: Grade 3 piano
This minuet is a staple for any studying pianist. Not only is it very well-known, it's a joy to play. And challenging, too, like most other pieces from this era.
Rules of fingering: Minuet in G minor, BWV Anh. 115
This is the companion piece to the more famous written above. It's also at a grade 3 level. These pieces were designed to be played back to back, so I enjoy teaching them as a pair.

I had half-hoped we might hold an interest in Junker and we'd somehow be able to get him by appealing the work permit - but I admit that is massive hope rather than inevitable expectation.
So Leventhal is saying Cucho is as good as gone? It just gets better...
Junker has already stated the a work permit isn't an issue .
We should bring in David Davis to negotiate this deal with Junker.

According to reports this evening from Sky and the Telegraph, Derby are now on the precipice of administration as their takeover is yet to be completed. Players still not paid. Bielik is probably exactly what we need to replace Capoue. If they really are on the verge of admin, we could probably get him for £3-5m even though he's a £10m+ player. A little injury prone though.
Bielik and Sibley please.
But again....money.
Would be a useful player for a team that will spend £3-5m then. Not sure it's relevant to us though...

Thanks, Sherlock. I obviously realise that we have little money and little desire to spend it. Can I not suggest someone that I would like us to sign? Isn't that the premise of this thread? I've hardly suggested Mbappe here.
Markoa$ Reservist
Mbappe? Never heard of him. Let me guess he's some tinpot, over the hill player dragging his heels in Serie C. Typical Gino, always going cheap. Signs a Football Manager Regen player called "Mbappe" instead of someone who would actually make a difference, like George Honeyman at Hull.

4 more goals for Giakoumakis for Venlo tonight away at Den Haag, including running in to beat a certain Daryl Janmaat at the near post for a stooping header.
Seems very popular with the rest of the squad and runs his socks off.

Nonsense. LouOrns tweets there are pots of cash

Why would you suggest a transfer that will never happen? Seems a bit pointless to me. If you like the look of a player I'd forward your recommendation to Mr Giaretta, I don't think anyone here is able to help you.
RS2, Jan 13, 2021 at 11:37 PM
I mean is it so much less likely than signing pretty much anyone else suggested recently in this thread? Not dissimilar in price from Kasper Junker, Ben Whiteman, Giamoukis (the VVV Venlo guy @Markoa$ has been promoting). Is it really that outlandish to look at a club in our league that may have to flog players to avoid administration and highlight that one of their players is exactly what we need?
Genuine question: What, in your view, is the price limit above which no transfer should be suggested? £1m? 0? Only those who will pay their own wages?
LeedsOrn, Jan 14, 2021 at 12:02 AM
I don't know if anyone has already suggested this guy, but the striker Luke Jephcott down at Plymouth looks like he could be a good shout and possibly would not cost too much. Forest are apparently looking at him, but hopefully we might look like a better option for him at present.

Well he scored 4, so yes....
I'm talking about the guy playing his PlayStation. Obviously a striker that scores goals is better than what we have...!
Reading up about him, plenty of reports that he lacks pace and skill, and a lot of his goals are just because he's willing to have a shot when he gets the ball.
Sadly I think you need more than that to be successful at the top of the Championship and at PL level.
Well the fact he is willing to have a shot at goal would be a big improvement on the clowns we have at front at the moment, so it's a yes from me
The Voice of Reason, Jan 14, 2021 at 11:51 AM
A couple of players who will be free transfers next summer. Aguero (254 league goals) and Messi (455 league goals). Maybe a little old, but I'm sure they could do a job for us. Gino, get it done.

Assassin's Creed IV 'Freedom Cry' DLC lands this month
MCV Staff 5th December 2013	Publishing
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag will receive its first major DLC add-on, 'Freedom Cry,' later this month.
An ad from Game Informer's January issue (via Video Gamer) reveals the content will arrive on December 17th for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3.
The ad fails to mention anything regarding the PC version, so it's likely the content will follow suit with the general release and arrive at some later point on the platform.
Freedom Cry follows quartermaster and former slave Adewale, as he takes command of his own ship and sets out to free anyone he comes across still enslaved.
Ubisoft previously revealed the DLC as Assassin's Creed IV's initial season pass offering, which can be purchased for $20. No word yet on what the content will cost on its own.

Good Riddance - 'This music can still inspire people to become activists'
For more than three decades, Good Riddance have been a staple in the California punk rock scene. Recently, they released another powerful album - 'Thoughts and Prayers,' and once again proved their legendary status. We had a chance to catch up with frontman Russ Rankin and talk about the new record, music scene in Santa Cruz, as well as the situation in the US. Read it below.
First of all, congrats on a new album. To be honest, I wouldn't be exaggerating if I'd say it's one of my favorite Good Riddance works. Did the record manage to meet the expectations you set for yourselves?
Russ: I think so. We felt like 'Peace In Our Time' was a solid release, and we felt like we wanted to try to top it. We never want to create a new album, and put in the time and sacrifice, unless we believe we have something relevant to offer.
'Thought and Prayers' is also the highest-charting Good Riddance release ever. I know that chasing chart-success was never your intention or a motive for making music, but how does it feel to see the crowd all over the world resonate with the album? Is this reaction something you expected to be happening thirty years into your career?
Russ: No, it took us all by surprise. When FAT told us about Billboard, I asked them if this was normal, or expected, and they said no. It's nice to know that, with all the changes to the music industry, and the fact that we aren't a shiny, new, band anymore, we are pretty stoked!
With the album gaining so much traction, and sold-out shows you play in Europe these days, do you feel like your messages are reaching people, and that more and more people are resonating with the things you say?
Russ: Our shows are generally well-attended, in Europe, and other places. We will know more in 6 months or so when the album has had time to affix itself to people. When you see entire rooms full of people singing along to your songs, you know you've created something that people are attaching themselves to. The new songs, so far, have gone over about how we would expect for the release still being relatively new. We are just trying to get the word out about the new album, and trying to create some excitement around it.
There was a Reagan era, there was a George Bush II era, and now, we are in the Donald Trump era. All three were awful for the people in the US, but all of them caused some of the best works in punk rock, but also activist music and art in general. Do you feel like bands such as Good Riddance and punk movement, in general, can play a role in the social movements and contribute to the change?
Russ: I absolutely do. I wish we still had things like 'Rock Against Racism,' or 'Rock Against Reagan,' but times are different now. With social media and endless distractions, I think it is probably difficult to get people to come together and focus on the bigger picture. Activism requires a degree of selflessness and group-think that is more difficult to attain in today's climate. There is also a lot more money in punk rock, and numerous high dollar sponsors sniffing around, so antiseptic, non-threatening, events like the Warped Tour are what we get nowadays. Still, there are a lot of activists at Warped Tour, and other festivals and I think that this type of music can still inspire people to become activists in their own ways and to become curious about the world, and question the things they've been told by the culture industry.
I actually intended to do this interview a while ago. I almost sent the questions, but then, I saw the news about the El Paso and Dayton shootings. You are very vocal about gun control and everything that could make events like this stop. How long do you think this fight will go on and keep falling to deaf ears, before any significant move in the right direction? What else needs to happen before people in power take action?
Russ: I think that there is too much money in politics, meaning, it's become standard for lobbyists to be able to write policy for this country, and the people we elect to represent us in Washington D.C. have become accustomed to the extra money they can get if they go along with it. I think it starts with overturning Citizens United, and then a scourge of career politicians who are in Washington to collect lobbyist dollars, rather than do the work they were sent there to do. I believe a majority of Americans would be fine with banning military-grade assault weapons. I think that the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution was written when rifles could fire one bullet every minute and was written regarding the assembling of militias. Somehow, it has become a thing that, the more and bigger guns you have, the more American you are. I don't get it, probably never will, but it's clearly a problem.
I think that the way the idiot who thinks he's the president has emboldened a dangerously deluded fringe of white, male, Christian, nativists, is the biggest threat to our country. What can we do about that? Hopefully, elect people to shape policy for us who don't allow that garbage to go down at the highest levels of government. I think this moron should be impeached, for no other reason than this behavior is abhorrent, embarrassing, and unfit for somebody in their position. I think that when people are looking to their leaders, and they see a xenophobe, boasting about their sexual conquests, and making fun of people with disabilities, they are bound to lose a little faith in our current system.
A few days ago there was a news piece about motorcycle backfire causing panic at Times Square as people mistook its sound for gunfire. I remember an episode of 'Friends' literally joking about a similar event, but now, in 2019, we had it happening for real. Is it really possible that the USA reached the point where the people are in a constant state of fear and panic? Is there any solution on the sight?
Russ: It's getting to the point where Americans are becoming inured to it, which is dangerous. It could become like the for-profit health care industry - something awful that we all just accept as something we have to live with. I think that banning assault weapons is a start, and I also strongly believe that the media ought to agree to never, under any circumstances, release the names of these shooters. I think it grants them the fame they are seeking, and it emboldens and encourages the next ones. I think Congress has to impeach the idiot, and I think the country needs some conciliation from its leaders, rather than partisan vitriol, and nativist rhetoric.
How ironic do you find that the people who hide behind Christianity, which in theory should be preaching peace, love, and acceptance, the people who call for "thoughts and prayers" after every tragic event, are the same people promote guns, same people who call for violence and hate on immigrants, racial and sexual minorities, and putting brakes to any social change? What do you see as the reasons for it?
Russ: Fear. Fear of the other. Fear of change. Fear that a wider, richer, world may exist than the myopic one people have been taught to believe. Bigotry is learned. Nativism is learned. These are characteristics and opinions which have to be implanted and cultivated. Do we get rid of Fox News? Do we force Americans to travel? I saw a map of the US, and it showed the highest density of support for the idiot after the 2016 election, and somebody superimposed it on the US map which showed the highest density of people who don't have passports. Surprise, surprise. Plus, any white, Christian, nativist, who whines about immigrants, as they stand on stolen land, is misinformed, in my opinion.
Back to the music side of things - on the new record, you once again worked with Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room, and it turned out amazing. What's the best thing in working with them, that brings you back every time?
Russ: Bill has two things that keep us going back: he was a seminal figure in the era of punk and hardcore music that directly inspires us, and he is an incredible engineer and producer. He knows the music we grew up with and played on a lot of it. He knows which bands and artists to reference to get us to render a specific performance. Also, after 20 years together, we have become really good friends with him. The whole experience is great, even after the figurative tape stops rolling.
If I'm not mistaken, everything you ever released was via Fat Wreck Chords. How much support did you have from the label over the years, and what's the main reason for you to stick with them for decades?
Russ: We were incredibly fortunate to land on FAT when we did. They took a chance on us, even though we were relatively green as far as touring and figuring it all out. They have given us a platform, and tremendous freedom to use it. They never tell us what to do, but instead, ask - "How can we help?"
Growing up on the opposite side of the world, Santa Cruz seemed like a place to be. Not only it had the Santa Cruz Skateboards company, but also we knew it for Good Riddance, Swingin' Utters, Craig's Brother, and The Expendables, which is pretty amazing for the town of that size. However, in the last couple of years, I don't see much going on in the scene. is there any new blood we should pay attention to? Do you think that the hype around your new album and recent releases by other bands can be a kick in the but for the scene and some new bands coming up?
Russ: I think that Santa Cruz has always been a fertile place for artists and cultural refugees. It's a strange pocket of California. There's the touristy beach town vibe, the college town vibe, and there is a tangible throwback, '60s hippie revolutionary vibe. For me, I grew up surfing and skateboarding, and, in Santa Cruz, that world always intertwined with the punk world. I read Thrasher Magazine religiously growing up, and there were always articles on bands, and I would go buy the records they talked about. At ramps, or at Derby Park, someone would always have a boombox, and I would skate while we listened to Agent Orange, DRI, Die Kreuzen, etc. When I was growing up, the biggest and greatest band we had was Bl'ast!, and the fact that they were nationally known, and toured, was immensely inspirational to us. Santa Cruz will always create its own unique sounds, and hopefully, younger bands will continue to push themselves to get out and tour.

Women's Football World Cup
July 2, 2015 John Leave a comment
Football has come a long way in the years I have been around. I had a friend whose catch phrase was that "football is a man's game", but now it seems it is increasingly becoming a woman's one too. This should not come as a surprise of course, as in this day of supposed equality of the sexes there is no logical reason why women should be excluded from participating in football as any other activity.
Going back to my youth when I played the beautiful game with my chums, I recall only one girl ever playing the game and in fairness to the lads she was not discouraged from joining in although she was seen as a bit of a tomboy. Even going into adulthood my own experience of the game was exclusively all male. The one exception was playing after work friendly's at a UK subsidiary of an US American firm. An American girl who had been seconded to us asked if she could to join our kick arounds. This we allowed; she fitted in well and she was rather good. Apparently girls playing soccer as they call it, sometimes in a mixed setting, was the done thing. Other than occasional stories around females playing football, mainly at the higher levels of the game, I was hardly aware that football was increasingly becoming more than a man's game.
One of my proud community achievements was as coordinator of the Southend Community-in-Harmony Big Event. Not only did we introduce youth football competitions into the event, as a means to get diverse communities interacting with each other, we were later able to introduce a girls football competition. I was pleasantly surprised to learn how good the girls were and the only area they may have lagged behind the boys is that of physicality. Regarding skill and tactical awareness, they had it in abundance.
I am not a football fanatic yet still follow the game I once played and refereed, especially when it comes to the World Cup. I recently became aware of the Woman's Football World Cup taking place and that the English team was doing rather well. This is down to the BBC and other media outlets who have to their credit have been covering what was going on, a lot more than previously, else I would not have known. While I have only seen brief glimpses of the games, I have been following the fortune of our girls as I would have our boys, in the past. One of the first news items I checked on this morning is how well they did in the semi final match against Japan. I was sad to learn that they had lost a closely fought match and, even though only just and unluckily, right at the end, it was a bitter blow, in much the same way England's men's loss in the semis was all those years ago.
So we can now look forward to a final between the USA and Japan, a line up one would not expect in the men's equivalent. Well done England ladies – you did us proud! And may the best team win the final. Sadly, there is a lack of senior FIFA representation at these games, unsurprising given recent events, and we look forward to a reformed FIFA continuing to develop the women's, game along with the men's. One hopes, helped on by this recent surge in interest, the women's game will prosper in the UK, especially at grass roots level.

Just yesterday Soulja Boy launched his own video game console and in only 24 hours the unit earned him a whopping $250,000.
The units cost $149 for the Soulja Game and 99 for the handheld device and come loaded with 3,000 games on them.
Some tech critics have called the product a "legal repackaging of an already outdated system" but he's getting money with something he's passionate about so we can't knock him.

RIDER LIST UNVEILED FOR RED BULL JOYRIDE 2019
14 of the world's best queued up to take on re-imagined Slopestyle course at Crankworx Whistler
WHISTLER, B.C. July 23, 2019 – The biggest Slopestyle Mountain Bike course in the world is taking shape. 25 days from now, 14 of the world's best will line up at the storied Red Bull Joyride start gate to show the world what they've got. 30,000+ pairs of eyes in the Whistler Mountain Bike Park will follow their every move, every pedal stroke and every trick, with hundreds of thousands more around the world watching the action from home on Red Bull TV.
Today, the list of invited riders who'll be taking on the final Crankworx FMBA Slopestyle World Championship (SWC) contest of the season was released.
Riders invited to compete in Red Bull Joyride are made up of the top six pre-qualified athletes from the 2018 SWC standings and the next top eight in the FMB World Ranking as of four weeks prior to the event.
Pre-qualified
Brett Rheeder (CAN)
Diego Caverzasi (ITA)
Erik Fedko (GER)
Nicholi Rogatkin (USA)
Thomas Genon (BEL)
Tomas Lemoine (FRA)
Next top eight in the FMB World Ranking
Emil Johansson (SWE)
Dawid Godziek (POL)
Max Fredriksson (SWE)
Torquato Testa (ITA)
Alex Alanko (SWE)
Paul Couderc (FRA)
Jakub Vencl (CZE)
Lucas Huppert (SUI)
Lukas Knopf (GER)
Anthony Messere (CAN)
If the results from Crankworx Innsbruck are any indication, it's anyone's game. Making his Slopestyle debut (coming from the world of BMX Freestyle), Godziek entered the arena with a vengeance. His first run proved he has what it takes, and his second solidified it, earning him the third spot on the podium. Johansson, just returning to competition and working his way up the ranks, pulled off two never-before-seen tricks and bumped Rheeder out of first place in his second run. But Rheeder answered back. Dropping in last, he earned the highest score of the day. The win was his second of the season, adding to his overall points total for the Crankworx FMBA Slopestyle World Championship, and bringing the Triple Crown of Slopestyle within reach.
It's a position he's been in before. The Canadian is no stranger to the pressure of competition – with seven Crankworx wins under his belt, as well as a win at Red Bull Rampage, his skills and experience speak for themselves.
But those who know, know. Red Bull Joyride is different.
"It's the toughest course in the world," says Paddy Kaye, owner of Joyride Bike Parks, whose been involved building trails in the bike park since Day One, and working to create the Crankworx Whistler Slopestyle course for the past nine years. The veteran builder says it's a combination of factors that make it so: the size of the crowd. The enormity of the jumps. The event's history and status within the sport.
Kaye and his crew of 14 have been preparing for Red Bull Joyride for the past three months – planning, moving dirt, and building the eight meticulously-crafted features that snake their way through the Boneyard at the base of the Whistler Mountain Bike Park.
"A project like this is daunting. You come every May and it's a flat track. It's a new canvas… We move a lot of dirt and it's got to be done efficiently for it to work, and you've got to come out with a product that is great for the event and the sport, and safe for the athletes."
For 2019, the course has received a redesign featuring some new innovative features set to shake things up for the riders. The first full look at the course will come in early August, but Kaye shared some insights as the crew heads into the final month.
"This year's course has a new feel to it. There are several new features. We've used the original line that we've found works for speed on the slope, but mixed it up. We've added some more optional features, so the riders can show different styles and skills."
An overall change at Crankworx this year that's given Kaye and his crew some room to breathe, is Speed & Style and Dual Slalom's move to Blackcomb Base 2. Traditionally the courses intermingled with Slopestyle, but their relocation broadens Red Bull Joyride's footprint, and will give riders more time to train on the full course.
Kaye says the 2019 course combines some massive new features ("stuff the guys haven't seen") with some that are more familiar, striking a balance between pushing progression, and laying the groundwork for it.
"Back in the day it was the builders and the tracks that were changing a lot and being progressive, but we saw a lot of crashes as riders tried to figure courses out. Now the tracks are progressing, but the riders are progressing at such a rapid pace that they're owning these tracks… I think overall what the riders are doing, and what the builders are doing, is working. It's pushing the whole sport."
The full course release will take place in early August. Practice for the riders invited to compete will kick off Tuesday, August 13.
Red Bull Joyride 2019 will be broadcast live to the world on all your devices on Red Bull TV and crankworx.com.

SEVENTEEN amazes the crowd with their versatility and amazing stages at their 2017 World Tour in Singapore
Singapore, 2017 – On August 30th the amazing boy band, SEVENTEEN came to Singapore for their first ever World Tour called "Diamond Edge" in Singapore! SEVENTEEN or also known as SVT, is a South Korean boy group formed by Pledis Entertainment in 2015. The group consists of thirteen members who are separated into three sub-units, each with different areas of specialization: a 'Hip-Hop Unit', 'Vocal Unit', and 'Performance Unit'.
SEVENTEEN, <Diamon Edge> was held at Suntec Convention Centre on September 29 which attracted an amazing crowd of all ages! Even though it is not their first time holding a concert in Singapore, you can still see the excitement in all the fans faces as they waited patiently for the concert to begin. The boys of SEVENTEEN awed the crowd with their highly energized performance and perfect vocals. Not only is the concert full of amazing stages, they also treat the fans to loveable fan services.
Even before the concert begins, the fans were an amazing bunch, singing along to their favorite artists' songs which were playing. That energy and excitement grew further as soon as the lights were dimmed! SEVENTEEN then appeared with colorful suits and began the concert with "Pretty U" which had the crowd pumping! They performed several other hits like "Mansae", "Boom Boom" and fan favorite, "Aju Nice".
The concert was entertaining to watch as they prove how versatile they are as a group. Since they are split into different sub-units, their stages and performances are always something different which I thoroughly enjoyed. The first sub-unit to make an appearance is the Vocal Unit which consists of members Jeonghan, Joshua, Woozi, DK and Seungkwan. Their stages left the crowd awestruck as they showed off their lovely and soulful voices. It was definitely breathtaking!
Before the fans could feel all sentimental, the second unit, the Hip-Hop Unit made an appearance to keep the party going! Members S.Coups, Wonwoo, Mingyu and Vernon gave a very cool and chic stage as they rap and hype up the audience. They also show off their sexy side with "If I" which other members agreeing that it is a "sexy song".
Last but not least, the Performance Unit shows off their cool dance and synchronized dance move which reflects how much they must have practiced! Jun, Hoshi, The8, and Dino have all the fans up and jumping with their performance. Honestly, I was just staring at the stage in amazement at how smooth and powerful their whole performance was.
Not only is the concert full of amazing and diverse stages, they also play small games to entertain the fans. One of the games Mingyu and Vernon played was the "Do not blink" games where the member who blinks first will have to do aegyo! Playful Mingyu loses quite early into the game but did not tell Vernon which made the crowd roar with laughter as he made funny faces behind Vernon. They definitely know how to crack the audience up!
Every good concert has to come to an end. When the members of SEVENTEEN mention that it is their last song, it had all the fans grumbling for more. The other members even cutely shouted, "Liar! Liar!". The fan chants were definitely awesome throughout the concert and I am sure the members of SEVENTEEN felt the same way. Each and every one of the members relayed their love and gratitude to all the fans which definitely ended the concert on a sentimental note.
The whole concert experience was thoroughly amazing as the boys of SEVENTEEN showed how much they had to offer even though it has only been 2 years since their debut. Their energy and talents on stage still amaze me as well as all the fans present. It is no surprise that the fans keep wanting more and are already counting down till the next time SEVENTEEN comes to Singapore again. I know I am!
Check out more amazing pictures here!
