Spider-Man: Homecoming is one of the best iterations of the wall-crawling hero we've ever seen, and it feels really good to finally have Peter Parker in the MCU where he belongs.
If you're anything like us, then you've seen the film at least once in the past few days and spent some time warring between enjoying Spidey's action-packed adventure and trying to absorb every little detail on screen. The film had more than its fair share of Easter eggs, nods to the comics, and a Staten Island Ferry-load of references to other MCU films and characters.
We know, dear readers, that most of you are such die-hard Spidey fans that you've likely spent the last few days as a living Wikipedia page for your friends who don't know the web-swinger as well as you do. And there's only so many times that you can explain what the "MJ" reference is at the end or that there's a few things that seem a bit weird, like how Peter was all about Star Wars in this film but didn't know what an AT-AT was called in Civil War. So, in the spirit of helping spider-knowledge flourish, we've compiled this list of 15 Things you may have missed in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
15 Old-school Spider-Man theme song
Part of what makes Spider-Man so iconic and memorable is the way the character is fully immersed into our hearts and minds through almost every sense we have. There's always a few things you can count on in a Peter Parker Spider-Man, including a relatively unwavering color scheme in his costumes with his red, white, and blue suits (and the healthy dose of American patriotism that comes with that).
There's also an auditory element to what makes Spidey so darn recognizable. The opening of the new film includes an updated orchestral version of the appropriately-named "Spider-Man" from the 1967 animated television show, composed by Paul Francis Webster and Robert Harris. It appears on the soundtrack even more appropriately-named as "Theme From Spider Man (Original Television Series)."
14 Upside-Down Kiss
During the course of Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter Parker's classmates find themselves in Washington, DC doing a little sightseeing after winning their academic decathlon. Things go awry when a piece of the Chitauri tech Ned Leeds is carrying around accidentally activates, causing it to wreak some havoc on an elevator in the Washington Monument. As expected, Spider-Man swings into action and saves everyone in a scene that also manages to pay homage to the legendary scene from 2002's Spider-Man starring Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst.
At this point in the film, Peter's been chatting with his suit's AI and has thoroughly explained his feelings for Liz Allan/Liz Toomes. The suit (voiced by Jennifer Connelly) urges him to tell Liz how he feels, and sees the right time to do so just after he saves everyone from the elevator.
At that moment, Peter just happens to be hanging upside down when the suit suggests it's the perfect time to kiss Liz -- which is, of course, a reference to the most iconic (and beyond awkward and uncomfortable) way to kiss anyone in the Spider-Man universe.
13 Sokovia Accords
The MCU was forever changed when Wanda "Scarlet Witch" Maximoff redirected an explosion that caused the deaths of 26 people in Lagos, Nigeria. That event was the straw that broke the camel's back, resulting in 117 countries coming together to ratify an agreement that would regulate super-human activities.
The Sokovia Accords are the MCU's answer to the Superhuman Registration Act in the comics, using the film's events as a reason to limit superheroics rather than having to introduce and explain The New Warriors, the villain Nitro, and Mutant Growth Hormone.
Since they exist in the "real world" of the MCU, it comes as no surprise that high school students would have them at least mentioned in their curriculum. In Spider-Man: Homecoming, among all the other MCU film references, there's a scene where a teacher at Midtown High School mentions the Sokovia Accords in a lesson.
12 ...Bueller?
Part of what made this new Spider-Man movie great was the fact that it's so much more than a superhero film. A lot of its heart lies in Peter coming to terms with who he is and--on quite a few occasions--it has a definite vibe of classic coming-of-age films like the ones directed by '80s legend John Hughes.
In the film, Peter's finds himself in the suburbs with a severe lack of buildings to swing from. He resigns himself to having to sprint through backyards, crashing through fences, and accidentally ripping down tree houses in order to get where he needs to go. The sequence is a direct reference to Hughes' 1986 classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off and--perhaps driving the point home a bit too much--even has the scene it mirrors playing on a TV at a house party that Spidey crashes through.
Fingers crossed for an Abe Froman reference in the sequel.
11 Two Shockers
There's a pretty deep cut in terms of Spider-Man references in the new film. Actor Bokeem Woodbine takes up the mantle of classic Spider-Man baddie The Shocker during the events of the film, but he isn't the first to wield its, well, rather shocking power. Though Woodbine plays the original character named Herman Schultz, there's a fellow arms dealer in the movie by the name of Jackson Brice who came up with the name and enjoyed the powerful Shocker gauntlet first. Michael Keaton's Vulture makes short work of the reckless Brice, allowing Schultz to take his gauntlet and name.
In the comics, Jackson Brice was an old-school low-level Spider-Man bad guy who went by the name Montana. And--as a nod to other Spidey-verses--he was the Shocker in the 2008 TV series The Spectacular Spider-Man.
10 The Tinkerer
Spider-Man has gone up against a lot of villainous foes in the comics, and none are so interconnected with the rest of the Marvel universe as The Tinkerer. Phineas Mason (finally) appears in the MCU played by Orange is the New Black actor Michael Chernus. His appearance is a long time coming for the character and his particularly brilliant tinkering skills to show up in a Spider-Man film, since his first appearance in the comics was the second issue ever of The Amazing Spider-Man in 1963.
Having the Tinkerer in the MCU opens the door for a lot of fun possibilities, especially since Mason seems to have mastered re-tooling alien tech for his own nefarious purposes. In the comics, he's responsible for the creation of countless villainous supersuits, including that of a likely candidate to appear (in full) in the Homecoming sequel: Scorpion.
9 Betty Brant
Longtime Spidey supporting character Betty Brant makes a surprise appearance in the new film, where she's played by Australian actress Angourie Rice. Some may remember her from Shane Black's 2016 film The Nice Guys, where she played the whip-smart daughter of Ryan Gosling's bumbling detective character. In Homecoming, Rice's Brant doesn't play a major part in the plot, but she's on screen enough to be memorable and quite funny.
In the comics, Brant was the occasional love interest of Peter Parker, as well as his long-time coworker at the Daily Bugle. Though only a teenager in the film, it's clear that Rice's Brant has already been bitten by the journalism bug, as she hosts the school's news report along with fellow supporting Spidey character, Jason Ionello.
One has to wonder if Rice's comedic moments are a bit of a nod to Elizabeth Banks' smart-alecky portrayal of Brant in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films.
8 Re-creating Classic Comic Book Pages
This one feels destined to go down as one of the finest homages to the source material that any Spider-Man film has ever done. Toward the end of the movie, The Vulture causes the roof of a building to fall onto Spider-Man. It's in this scene, trapped under the rubble with no one to help him, where Tom Holland absolutely shines as an actor, and it's in this moment where he solidifies himself as both Peter Parker and Spider-Man.
As Peter looks into a puddle below,half of his mask obscures his reflection where he truly sees himself as the hero he can be. With Tony Stark's words echoing in his memory--and psyching himself up with a emphatic "Come on, Peter! Come on, Spider-Man!"--he's able to free himself in a manner that looks to have been ripped straight from the pages of Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 #33.
Throughout the film, Peter is constantly trying to prove himself as a hero (specifically to Happy Hogan and Tony Stark), but it's in this moment where he truly becomes one. He's finally the Spider-Man he's been trying to be for so long.
7 Thor's Fashionable Accessories
A major plot point of the new movie is that Happy Hogan (played by Jon Favreau) is tasked with packing up what's left in Stark Tower in order to move it to the new Avengers facility upstate that we've seen in other MCU films. During one scene, Happy is seen checking in on the progress, and he mentions a new prototype of Captain America's shield (guess he's no longer a war criminal?) and a particularly fashion accessory for a certain Norse God.
The item in question is Thor's belt, Megingjord (your guess on how to pronounce it is as good as ours). In the comics, MEG-IN-YORD(??) is worn by Thor in order to increase his strength and--as with most of aspects of his comic adventures--actually appears in Norse mythology.
There's no telling if MY-GIN-GOURD(???) is something Tony created for Thor or if it's been loaned to him for experimentation. It's interesting either way, considering MAYIM-BIALIK-GLURD (that's probably it) has been used to augment the strength of those who aren't worthy to still lift Thor's hammer. We may never know if it's been tested, however, since we do know that Mjölnir will be destroyed in Thor: Ragnarok.
6 Howling Commandos
Other than the heavy hitters of Iron Man, Happy Hogan, and Captain America--Spider-Man: Homecoming has another familiar face that fans may have noticed. Actor Kenneth Choi takes on his second role in the MCU in this film, playing Principal Morita at Peter's school. Choi originally played Jim Morita, who was one of the Howling Commandos in 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger.
In a particular scene where Peter is being reprimanded by Principal Morita, eagle-eyed fans may have noticed an old photo of Jim in his office.
The way the timeline works out in the MCU--and considering Jim continued to fight (as seen in the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series) and made it out of WWII--it's a safe bet to assume that Principal Morita is the grandson of the Howling Commando. The kids at Midtown High School really should show him a little more respect.
5 Scorpion
There's a good chance audiences were already introduced to (at least one of) the sequel's big villains. During the Staten Island Ferry scene, there's an arms deal going down between the Vulture's crew and a man with an affinity for predatory arachnids, identified as Mac Gargan. Comic book fans will immediately recognize it as the real name of the classic Spidey villain, Scorpion.
Though he's captured in the film, the mid-credits scene shows how Gargan (played by Better Call Saul's Michael Mando) is really holding a grudge against Spider-Man, and he's likely going to do what he can to get revenge.
Audiences really didn't see what weapons were in that pick-up truck on the ferry, so there's no telling if his iconic scorpion suit was part of the haul that slipped through his fingers. However, since the Tinkerer is probably still at large, we may see Gargan go straight to Toomes' right hand tinkerin' man once he gets released from prison.
4 The Prowler and Miles Morales
For a long time, fans lobbied for actor Donald Glover to play everyone's favorite wall-crawler on the big screen. Sadly, it didn't work out, but as a fun nod to the diehards, Glover was brought on to play Aaron Davis in Homecoming. In the film, Peter interrogates Davis for the whereabouts of the Vulture's crew and---since the web-head saved his life a few nights earlier--the low-level criminal leads Peter to the Ferry deal.
That scene is notable because Davis' motivations to help Peter aren't solely based on repaying a perceived debt. During their conversation, Davis mentions in passing that he has a nephew, and he wants to keep Toomes' weapons off the streets. In the Ultimate Marvel comic universe, Davis is a career criminal and is accidentally responsible for a genetically enhanced spider biting his nephew--and current Spider-Man--Miles Morales.
There's an animated film in the works for Miles, but with Glover's character now in the MCU, it may mean audiences will see his nephew swing into action on the big screen...someday.
3 Iron Spider Suit
At the film's conclusion, Peter is brought up to the new Avengers facility and offered a spot on the team. In addition to Tony's gratitude, a room next to Vision's, and the alarmingly casual nature of it seeming okay for a 15 year old to be pulled from high school and taken away from his only remaining family--Peter's presented with an upgrade to his already Stark-ified Spidey suit.
What we see in the movie looks to be a Spider-Man themed Iron Man suit hybrid of sorts, likely meant to be an amalgam of the various armored suits Peter's worn in the comics. During the events of the first Marvel Civil War, Tony Stark creates the Iron Spider suit for Peter, which the movie version probably most closely resembles--with the exception of it missing the three waldoe spider arms that made it so damn bad-ass.
Peter passes on the job offer but, with more Spider-Man/Tony Stark time in the future of the MCU, there's still hope audiences will see some iteration of it in action in the years to come.
2 Peter's AI "Karen"
The dulcet toned AI in Peter's suit has more connections to Marvel movies than some may realize at first. "Karen"--as Peter names her--is voiced by actress Jennifer Connelly and, in addition to pre-dating the modern MCU films when she played Betty Ross in Ang Lee's Hulk, she's also married to current Avenger and Infinity Stone-wearing, Vision.
Well, Connelly is married to actor Paul Bettany who plays Vision and previously voiced Iron Man's AI, Jarvis. Meanwhile, the internet is currently busy with theories of what this could mean for the future of a character named Jocasta. In the comics, Jocasta was built by Ultron so he wouldn't be alone, but she eventually fell for Vision.
Since Ultron is gone, and the name Jocasta has shown up on another one of Tony's AIs, fans are thinking that "Karen" may actually be that persona and with occasional Avengers team-ups, she may develop some feelings for Vision. Things could get especially complicated if Vision ends up dating Scarlet Witch, like in the comics.
1 Captain America Gets a Little Meta with his final PSA
This may actually count as a literal thing you may have missed...if you didn't stick around to the end of the credits. But, really, who doesn't park their butts in their seats during a Marvel movie until the lights come up and they kick you out of the theater? End credits are where it's at, baby!
Just as the theater lights are about to turn on, Chris Evans reprises his Captain America school PSA persona once again to give the audience a little speech on the virtues of patience. Though it's "filmed" as another clip meant for high school students, it's perhaps the best in-joke made at the expense of Marvel movie goers for the past decade. As Captain America lauds audiences for their perseverance to see things through, he's also a bit annoyed at the amount of PSAs he's had to record asking something along the lines of "how many more of these do I have to do?" This, too, is a subtle joke at the amount of Marvel movies the actor himself has agreed to do.
Dare we say, this might even out-do the Ferris Bueller after-credits scene in Deadpool.
What hidden secrets in Spider-Man Homecoming do you think that most fans missed? Let us know in the comments?

In case you missed it, Ohio Right to Life (ORTL) threw a wrench into what was a rather predictable primary election by making some surprising endorsements through the group's Ohio Right to Life PAC. Not only did ORTL endorse several Democrats and several members of the Ohio House who were not endorsed by the Ohio Republican Party, but the group also bestowed endorsements upon two candidates who are challenging incumbents.
In the 27th Senate District ORTL endorsed political newcomer Caleb Davenport over incumbent Frank LaRose. The district includes all of Wayne County and parts of Summit and Stark Counties. Davenport, a financial planner, has the support several tea party groups as well as many of the statewide conservative groups including Family First PAC, Citizens for Community Values Action PAC, and Ohioans for Educational Freedom. LaRose currently does not have any endorsements listed on his campaign website.
In the 14th Congressional District, located in northeast Ohio, the pro-life group endorsed State Rep. Matt Lynch over Congressman Dave Joyce, who was initially appointed to the seat in 2012 after his close friend, Rep. Steve LaTourette, retired. He was then elected to the seat in 2013. ORTL added "Honor Roll" designation to Lynch's endorsement, saying he has "truly embodied and lived out what it means to be "pro-life."
These two endorsements, in particular, have raised some eyebrows since in past elections ORTL has supported incumbent candidates. They have also focused on candidates who were "electable," with the size of a candidate's campaign war chest weighing heavily in the decision. Some have speculated that LaRose's non-endorsement was retribution for his vote against ORTL president Mike Gonidakis when Gov. Kasich appointed him to the State Medical Board. Others say it was because LaRose did not support the Heartbeat Bill, however, ORTL also opposes that bill. Still others wonder if the endorsement is related to LaRose's liberal views on homosexual rights.
[RELATED on OCR: "What Happened to the Heartbeat Bill?"]
Gonidakis spoke to Ohio Conservative Review this week and insisted that he was not targeting LaRose as a result of his vote against Gonidakis. "I do not have a vote on the board," Gonidakis said. "I'm in the room and I am observing the discussions but I don't have a vote." He added that board members come from a variety of backgrounds and hail from different parts of the state.
This year, Gonidakis said, the board voted unanimously not to endorse LaRose, based solely upon his answers to the group's questionnaires. He said LaRose received a score of only 60% when answering the group's questions related to the sanctity of life. ORTL board member Carrie Snyder wrote in a letter to the Beacon Journal that
"LaRose's response to our candidate questionnaire ranked among the lowest of any legislator who sought Ohio Right to Life's endorsement."
Gonidakis added that it was one of the lowest ever submitted to ORTL. "We looked at their questionnaires," he said,
"and there was no comparison. LaRose came in at 60% compared to 100% for Davenport."
Gonidakis would not disclose LaRose's answers, saying ORTL has a long-standing policy of keeping that information confidential. The questions remain the same year-to-year, Gonidakis explained, but he didn't recall how LaRose scored when he received the group's endorsement in 2010. Sen. LaRose ran unopposed in the primary election that year and ORTL endorsed him in the general election over his pro-abortion opponent.
Some have suggested that LaRose's pro-life voting record ought to weigh more heavily than the questionnaires. But according to Gonidakis, most of the pro-life legislation enacted in the last session was through the budget and ORTL "did not score votes on the budget, only stand-alone bills." He recalled that there were only three stand-alone bills related to abortion, adding that "We thank Sen. LaRose for his pro-life votes and this is not to take anything away from that."
In addition to the abortion issue, LaRose made waves last year when he worked with homosexual activist groups and nine Democrats to sponsor a controversial "anti-discrimination" bill that would grant new rights based on sexual orientation or perceived gender identity. LaRose was the lone Republican sponsor of SB 125. While the legislation offers some protections for religious groups, they are very narrow. The bill would use the force of law to usurp the ability of Christian businesses, schools, and ministries to make hiring decisions based upon their sincerely-held religious beliefs unless they could prove to the state that the religious beliefs were a bona fide occupational qualification. It would also force these organization to provide access to "adequate facilities" based upon an individual's "actual or perceived gender identity."
In conservative Wayne County, the largest geographic area in LaRose's district, voters are divided, including members of the Wayne County Republican Executive Committee. Though the committee will not be making endorsements for the primary, there is an ongoing debate about not only the ORTL endorsement but about LaRose's conservative credentials. Both Davenport and LaRose will make their cases to the committee at the April meeting where a lively discussion is expected.

Despite the controversy surrounding the bill, Gonidakis insisted that it played no role in the endorsement. He said candidates were not asked about their views on marriage, or fracking, or any other issue not related to protecting the lives of the unborn. "We are a single-issue organization," he said.
While there is reason to be wary of LaRose's non-endorsement due to his past disagreements with Gonidakis, that doesn't explain the endorsement of Matt Lynch over Dave Joyce for the 14th District seat in Congress. Lynch, a tea party favorite during his tenure as a member of the Ohio legislature, decided not to run for re-election to the Ohio House after Sarah LaTourette Kayser — Steve LaTourette's daughter — filed to challenge Lynch in the Republican primary. LaTourette-Kayser is married to Scott Kayser, the Northeast Ohio Regional Director for the Ohio Republican Party.
Lynch told Media Trackers of Ohio,
"It certainly strains credibility that the wife of an employee of the Ohio Republican Party, who also happens to be Steve LaTourette's daughter, would decide to challenge an incumbent Republican member of the legislature without a number of people up the food chain giving the nod of approval."
He added that he viewed LaTourette-Kayser's candidacy as a "green light" to primary Joyce, a close friend of Steve LaTourette, whose super PAC, Defending Mainstreet, has vowed to take out conservative tea party candidates during this election cycle. Congressman Joyce is a member of the Mainstreet group. Several local tea party groups, FreedomWorks, and the Ohio Liberty Coalition have endorsed Lynch.
[RELATED on OCR: "Conservatives Smacked Again by Ohio Republican Party"]
Mike Gonidakis said that
"Lynch also had a 100% on our questionnaire and Joyce's came in well below his."
He again insisted that the endorsement were based on the candidates' answer to the questionnaires.
Media Trackers also reported that "Joyce has lifetime scores of 46 percent from FreedomWorks, 47 percent from Club for Growth, and 46 percent from Heritage Action. National Journal ranked Joyce as the 214th most liberal and 217th most conservative House member in 2013."
Lynch, an outspoken Christian and a fiscal and social conservative, was only one of a handful of Republicans who sued Gov. Kasich after he bypassed the legislature and used the Controlling Board to enact Medicaid expansion last year. Lynch also voted against last year's budget, citing concerns that it increased spending over the previous year's budget and increases in taxes for some in the state.
[RELATED on OCR: "Kasich Has Created a Crisis"]
[ALSO on OCR: "Separation of Loopholes: Assembly Must Check Kasich's Abuses"]
There is expected to be a large fundraising disparity in both races. Joyce has $1 million in his war chest. Lynch reported $75,000 on hand in his January campaign filing. LaRose reported $120,000 in his campaign fund in January while Davenport, as a first time candidate, has not yet filed a campaign finance report.
Will money and the support of the Ohio Republican establishment tip the election in the direction of the incumbents, or will grassroots support and endorsements from tea party groups and other key conservative organizations result in upsets on election day?
[RELATED on OCR: "What Must Conservatives Do to Win? Part 1, Part 2, Part 3"]
In previous elections, with few exceptions, primary wins by the incumbents would have been a foregone conclusion. The endorsements by Ohio Right to Life have shaken up the races and may have given impetus to campaigns that, in a normal year, would have been written off. Nothing should be regarded as a foregone conclusion for the May 6th primaries.

Well, Steve and I have decided not to move to Wellington…we're moving to Auckland instead. (Bet you thought something else was coming hey?) Steve's been afraid of the weather in Wellington for months; something about the cold and wind. The fact that he has owned a house without heat for over a decade would make one think cold temperatures are something he can easily withstand, but I guess not. Have I mentioned I've been told heat and air conditioning will not be a priority when we get back? I'm going to have to start earning good money real quick! The other reason we've decided on Auckland is because Wellington is smaller than Adelaide. I think not! Auckland, as the largest city in all of New Zealand, only has a population of 1.2 million itself, so hopefully it won't be totally crap:/ Well, regardless, I won't mind a break from Australian phrases such as 'I reckon, G'day, Good on ya and Mate.' Good on ya sounds like something you'd put on one of those stickers teachers put on 1 st graders papers…like 'Swell job done!' I thought G'day was only issued from the lips of Crocodile Dundee and Mate reserved for men, but no go. The best is 'I Reckon', will I unfortunately found myself saying for the 1 st time the other day. Might as well move to Alabama and marry my cousin!!
All in good fun!

A&E has lifted its temporary suspension of Phil Robertson from "Duck Dynasty" following controversial remarks the reality television star gave in an interview with GQ magazine.
Put on "hiatus" since Dec. 18, Robertson's nearly ten day suspension will have no effect on the show's fifth season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In a statement provided to THR, A&E said it reacted quickly to Robertson's statements but made clear to separate one man's personal views from an entire franchise. A petition to have Robertson brought back, with the hashtag of #IStandWithPhil, had received nearly 260,000 signatures.
Here's part of the statement from A&E:
"We at A+E Networks expressed our disappointment with his statements in the article, and reiterate that they are not views we hold.
But Duck Dynasty is not a show about one man's views. It resonates with a large audience because it is a show about family… a family that America has come to love. As you might have seen in many episodes, they come together to reflect and pray for unity, tolerance and forgiveness. These are three values that we at A+E Networks also feel strongly about.
So after discussions with the Robertson family, as well as consulting with numerous advocacy groups, A&E has decided to resume filming Duck Dynasty later this spring with the entire Robertson family."
A source also told THR that the family and the network would "work together to promote tolerance moving forward."
In his GQ interview, Robertson had paraphrased scripture while condemning gays, said the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor because they weren't Christian, and defended the treatment of black Americans in the Jim Crow-era South.

Image via WikipediaInteresting news from Switzerland:
Former U.S. President George W. Bush has cancelled a visit to Switzerland, where he was to address a Jewish charity gala, due to the risk of legal action against him for alleged torture, rights groups said on Saturday.
Criminal complaints against Bush alleging torture have been lodged in Geneva, court officials say.
Quite interesting how for the first time in history a US president is risking the same faith of Pinochet (The Chilean dictator was arrested by the British Government in 1998 during a trip to London for medical treatment under charges of human right violations) and it is also a sign of how weakened the US influence on world affairs has become, few years ago the simple proposal of such an action would have been enough to start a diplomatic row against the U.S Government independently if the current administration belonged to the same party or not (after all the White House has always thought that if you create a precedent there is no telling when it could come back and bite you as well) , today not only we are not seeing any official diplomatic reaction to this indictment but also we have a former US president un-defiantly renouncing his trip.
Aside from the technical aspect of apprehending a former US President which is still under protection of the US Secret Service, the question arising in this story is how faded has the presidential figure become independently from the low popularity of a single president.
Not that Bush is the real deal here, most certainly he should have been facing some kind of judgment for his many failings as president, the real question is how weak is the current projection capacity of the american diplomacy in light of this and the Wikileaks affair? It appears quite a lot.

Although highly underutilized by the medical device industry, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in the development of new technologies is gaining popularity as regulatory bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) begin to require additional proof of safety through scientific methods. Non-linear FEA allows engineers to realistically simulate the mechanical behavior of implants as seen in the in-vitro, or in some cases, the in-vivo configurations. The work presented in this report investigates how computational methods can be used to simulate the interaction of a St. Jude Medical silicone soft-tip as it passes through a Peel-Away Sheath (i.e. introducer). In this analysis the soft-tips were modeled as axisymmetric with hyperelastic material properties assigned to the soft-tips. An Ogden, second order hyperelastic material model was used to describe the non-linear stress-strain behavior of silicone soft-tips. The finite element program, ABAQUS/Standard was used to simulate the soft-tip/introducer interactions. The reaction forces obtained through these simulations represent the force required to push a lead through an introducer, and were then compared to experimental data.

The Reverend Jesse Jackson was 75 years old on October 8. In his honor, there was a packed house celebration at the headquarters of Rainbow PUSH, 930 East 50th Street, in Chicago.
As I sat in the audience and listened to the various speakers, I had flashbacks and wanted very much to rush the stage. I have known the good reverend and his family since I was a late teen.
When Dr. King died in 1968, I felt so guilty that I had the opportunity to get involved in King's Civil Rights Movement and I didn't. After King's death, Jesse's organization, then Operation Breadbasket, met at the Parkway Ballroom on 47th Street and King Drive.
I was a very fast typist and wanted to volunteer my skills in that regard. I went to the Saturday morning meetings and then to the offices on 47th Street. I sat in the office every day for a full week waiting to volunteer. No one paid attention to me. I was shy and dared not speak up.
Rev. Jackson was coming out of the office one day. By this time, I had decided that this was just not going to work out. I walked up to him, to say I had been waiting for a week to volunteer and had gotten nowhere.
He said what do you do. I said, I type about 100 words a minute. I know office work. I am a college student and a graduate of Jones Commercial High School. He asked why I had been sitting in the Breadbasket office for so long and scolded me somewhat for just sitting and not speaking up.
Rev. Jackson put me to work instantly, connecting me with Rev. Willie Barrow, the famed civil rights activist known as The Little Warrior. On Saturdays I would sit with an older lady and a little girl. We had a meeting place and became friends as we sat together.
One day the little girl sat in my lap and we played and talked and became fast friends. Jesse came to tell them it was time to go. The older lady was Jesse's grandmother and the little girl was his oldest daughter, Santita. Little did I know that this was the beginning of a life-long friendship.
I have watched Jesse's organization grow since the days on 47th Street. I have seen Jesse grow from being a fiery young minister to a one of the greatest minds and orators of our time.
He is probably the most analytical person I know. He analyzes situations quickly, to the point, and is usually right. His mind and wit are sharp. As his wife, Jackie, and I have sometimes discussed with others, 75 was not necessarily a reality that we thought he would see.
We have witnessed civil rights leaders cut down, often not making the senior stage of life. And here we are, 75 is here. Bravo. As I sat in the audience on October 8, I thanked God for Jesse's life. I am glad we have lived in the same era and I am glad that we live in Chicago.
The Jesse Interview
Often, I am interviewed about Jesse. I usually ask reporters which Jesse are they inquiring about; his career has such span. Most of all he is a man of the cloth, a real minister. Little do people know that he visits the sick and has funeralized many.
He is my favorite minister. He preaches like no other, making the Bible real to contemporary issues. In days past, Jesse use to preach a Christmas sermon about Mary, Joseph and the baby. He brings the story current. He is a brilliant preacher and I still look forward to a real Jackson sermon.
Then there is the enterprising Jesse. He has done more for Black business in America than anyone. I have seen him so many times take Black enterprise to its next level, from getting products on main store shelves, to advertising, to introductions, to opening doors that have been locked, to cross over to knock down, to boycott to new business in new arenas to Black Expos to business conferences.
This is the Jesse I know best. His phone call, his knock on the door, his meeting is powerful. And I love it. I have seen the business people come and go. Come when they need assistance and ask Reverend to mentor and/or to be their savior. And then forget where the help came from at fundraising time. I have seen him do it again and again and again with no regrets. He is a big man.
Jesse Changed American Politics
Jesse will of course go down in history for his political role. He ran for President of the United States in 1984 and 1988.
His historic run in 1988, "Run Jesse Run," changed American politics, changed the Democratic Party, led to the election of Bill Clinton and paved the way for Barrack Obama to become the first Black President of the United States.
Jesse added more than seven million new people to the voter rolls, making African Americans a voting force that determined elections. Jesse changed the election rules. He provided a bold leadership.
In his runs for president, I mostly remember the debates. As the commentators talked about European, Russian, and Chinese politics, Jesse asked, what about South Africa's apartheid.
His comments brought the Nelson Mandela story to the front of a world table. It was the beginning of the process of Mandela getting out of jail after 27 years. Jesse and family members were the first Americans to meet with Nelson Mandela in Cape Town upon his release.
Jesse provided a bold leadership on a national stage and made Whites pay attention and listen to his voice. His international stances have been historic. His conversations with Yugoslavian President Slobodan Milosevic bought home hostages, Sgt. Christopher James Stone; Sgt. Andrew Arthur Rameriez and Sgt. Michael Gonzales.
Because of that, Jesse's status rose because he proved he could function on the international front positively when other world leaders could not and did not. He amazed and rose to hero status.
Jesse has been a superman in the release of hostages. He secured the release of downed pilot Robert Goodman, in 1984. He negotiated with Cuba for the release of 22 Americans held there. He also negotiated the release of several British and Americans being held by Saddam Hussein in 1991 as human shields. He is a skilled negotiator.
All of it was done without U.S. presidential or congressional approval, but for his achievements, President Bill Clinton presented Jesse this country's highest civilian award, The Presidential Medal of Freedom, in 1999.
Jesse Jackson Backstage
I have been backstage with Rev. Jackson. I have seen him up close and personal. He functions mostly without a script, but with a sixth sense that causes him to move this way rather than that way.
He is religious. He lives his faith. His work with young people might go unrecorded, but he is most effective when telling stories as he makes a life point to young folk. He presents the civil rights movement in context, telling and describing why Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. made a decision or why he marched. Jackson has carried King's work forward.
Some of his work on how many people have benefited from his political strategies might be missed. I remember when I brought a young man, an aspiring politician, to meet Rev. Jackson one Saturday morning.
He doesn't know what an eight-hour day or punch-the-clock day looks like. He is a workaholic who doesn't stop until the job is done.
The young man was green and I asked that Jesse take him under his wing, which he did. Jesse allowed him to speak every Saturday from his stage to perfect his public speaking skills.
I and Martin King (now the Chairman of the Board of Rainbow PUSH) had heard this green young man – Barack Obama – speak and for the office he was seeking, his speaking skills didn't match.
I volunteered Rev. Jackson as counsel and took Barack to meet with Jesse and made a mentoring request. I told Jesse I think he is going to be a real political star and we need to help him. The rest is history. I have seen Jesse do this a lot. He will allow you to perfect on his dime as he coaches and mentors in his very unique way.
Jesse helped me with my homework in college. We talked a lot about books, theories, philosophies and the like. I sometimes shared my papers with him for critique. One paper I was particularly proud of, the teacher gave me a lower grade than I expected. He questioned my writing style.
I was in tears and shared the situation with Jesse. He looked at the paper, and said, is the teacher a white male. Yes, he was. He said this paper has got too much black power in it. Tone it down. But he challenged me to write some speeches for him. I did.
We took that paper with all of his power to a newspaper, the Chicago Sun-Times, and they printed it as an op-ed piece. Jesse suggested I take the newspaper article with my byline to the professor. I did. That one incident demonstrated to me how to address an issue. A writer was born and damn the professor was my attitude. I asked the professor did he have any published writings. He did not.
There are many stories like that one. Al Sharpton held Jesse's hand to leadership. So did Judge Greg Mathis, who Jesse got out of jail only to become a lawyer to become a television judge.
Jesse encourages education at every level. He is a great teacher. No he doesn't write on the blackboard – he holds your hand through it. He demonstrates by example. He has allowed some to live it with him, not necessarily knowing the outcome.
I remember Black Expo. It was a project that I love and where I learned so much, as I chaired the Cultural portion. It was my first step in leadership, marketing and event planning and organizing. Jesse has shared as he has taught. It still pains me when I hear him talk about how he went home from college in South Carolina to write a term paper and required a book from the library that he could not use because he was Black. This was his very first demonstration.
I have seen Jesse confront the rich, the famous and the powerful with common sense and win them over. He has been fantastic. I have seen him outwork and outlast most, to this very day.
Many half his age are looking for the eight-hour work days, but that's not Rev's style. He doesn't know what an eight-hour day or punch-the-clock day looks like. He is driven. He is a workaholic who doesn't stop until the job is done and it is contagious.
There's much to be said about Rev. Jackson and I'm sure many will try to say it. Many already have; several writers have written books about him. But given his life, I so hope that Jesse writes his very own book, to share his 50-year career on the public stage in his very own words. He has been at the forefront of major social/political/economic issues and movements for the past 50 years.
I hope the documentary will be done on him to tell his story from his own view. It is his words that count, his interpretation and his very own analysis. It is his story to tell, not to be missed.
Jesse is one of the most misunderstood people by the public, through the mass media, because he confronts the media with a harsh racial reality. I so wish Jesse was running for president now. Can you imagine him and Trump in a debate?
So, at the end of the day, Jesse at 75, there's nothing to say but THANK YOU for a lifetime of service.

James Corlew Chevrolet Cadillac
The Corlew Chevrolet Cadillac project involved the interior and exterior demolition of the existing showroom and upstairs mezzanine level. A new customer lounge, finance area, service write up area and new car delivery bays that were constructed from the ground up. During this process, upgrades were made to the service department, service write up drive in area as well as the retail parts counter. As part of a General Motors Facility Image program upgrade, new finishes were installed in the showroom and customer touch point areas to enhance the customer experience. A new sales meeting office, dealer office, general managers office as well as sales break room were a part of the renovation. New showroom lighting was installed with state of the art building wide lighting controls that are a model of energy efficiency and convenience. All HVAC systems were replaced and engineered to the new design. The exterior consisted of a complete replacement of all curtain wall and glass, aluminum composite panel along all of the facsia along with a new Chevrolet entry element and vehicle display area. All overhead doors were upgraded to include a new high speed door that enters the service area from the write up area. During this 9 month project we completed a complete re-design/reroof of the parts, administration, service write up, showroom and a portion of the service department. We also completed two large cast in place retaining walls on the property. Comperry Construction handled the ordering and installation of all facility image related dealer items as well as communications/approvals with the GM appointed architectural firm that administered the facility image program.
The dealership has been at this location on College Street since the early 1950's when it was known as Tiffany-Wright Chevrolet and then Wright Brothers Chevrolet around 1960. The parts and administration departments still occupy part of the original building that had a 2 car showroom.

Make no mistake about it. Congress has chosen cowardice and political expediency over honesty and the rule of law.
Congress knows that Barack Hussein Obama is ineligible for the Presidency according to the natural born citizen clause of the Constitution.
They know that there is sufficient evidence of felonies to warrant an investigation.
They will do nothing. They will continue the cover-up. They are afraid for their jobs because they are complicit in the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people.
Congress does not seem to understand that willful negligence to uphold the law will eventually lead to chaos.
They don?t care and we need to inform them more forcefully that we will not permit them to destroy our country.
Need an example of their subterfuge?
All you need to do is write a letter to any member of Congress questioning Obama?s eligibility or asking why his alleged felonies have not been investigated.
This week?s willful ignorance award goes to the ever-arrogant Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) from an email dated June 13, 2011:
?As a Senator representing Colorado, I want to speak very clearly on this issue. President Barack Obama is a ?natural born? citizen of America, and he is eligible to be our nation?s Commander in Chief.?
?The legality of his birth certificate has been verified by numerous federal agencies, third party investigative groups, national media outlets, and primary source documentation. The United States Department of State and the Hawaii Department of Health have both verified the legality of the ?Certification of Birth? document provided by President Obama.? In addition, highly regarded ?fact check? websites such as factcheck.org, snopes.com, and politifact.com support the findings of the federal agencies through their own independent investigations.?
It is a shame that Bennet knows so little about the Constitution or the difference between ?citizen? and ?natural born citizen?.
Hawaii?s state health director, Chiyome Fukino, and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have not affirmed that Obama?s Certificate of Live Birth (birth certificate) is genuine.
There has never been any vetting or investigations of Obama?s eligibility by federal agencies. None of the third parties mentioned by Bennet are objective and non-partisan. It?s a sham.
In fact, there is far more evidence from independent third parties demonstrating that Obama?s Certificate of Live Birth, which he presented as his own during the April 27, 2011 press conference, is a forgery.
Honorable Mention in the category of Congressional willful ignorance goes to Trent Franks (R-AZ) and Tom Cole (R-OK) for the content of their constituent letters of January 21, 2011 and May 26, 2011, respectively.
?We determined, based on the information available at the time, that the evidence suggesting that the President was not a natural born citizen was not sufficient to overcome the evidence suggesting that he in fact was a natural born citizen: specifically, legal certification by Hawaiian authorities declaring that Mr. Obama was in fact born in Hawaii, coupled with corroborating birth announcements in the Hawaiian newspapers at the time of his birth.?
Hey Franks, it?s in his book and on his birth certificate. Based on his father?s Kenyan birth, Obama was never eligible to be President.
And newspaper clippings as evidence to be President? Seriously?
?As you know, on December 8, 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a case filed by a New Jersey voter who questioned whether President Barack Obama was a ?natural born? American, a prerequisite for the White House. As the Supreme Court has considered and rejected this case, I consider the issue to be closed.?
Cole?s response is, quite literally, a ?no-brainer?. Either Cole doesn?t have a brain or he thinks his constituents don?t.
Cole doesn?t seem to grasp the difference between a case being heard and dismissed, and a case not being heard and dismissed.? There has yet to be an adjudication of the law and the facts concerning Obama?s credentials.
To be fair to our distinguished elected officials, the responses of the members of Congress were never meant to be accurate answers. They are cover stories intended to ?blow off? constituents? inquires.
I am not talking about a few rotten apples in the barrel. I am talking about Congress, as an institution, lying to the American people, disregarding the Constitution and flouting the rule of law.
Would Congress start to understand their dereliction of duty, if ordinary Americans began to emulate their behavior?
Do you have ideas about legally fighting back? Mail them to me and I will post them confidentially in upcoming articles.

ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI)-- St. Louis area religious leaders have scheduled a toy gun exchange on July 13th.
The aim is to encourage parents to get rid of toys that resemble any weapons.
"This will send a clear message to our kids and community that we want to end this culture of violence," Rev. Rodney Francis said. "These toys desensitize kids to violence."
The toy gun exchange will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on July 13th at three locations.
The O'Fallon Recreation Complex, North County Recreation Complex and the Jackie Joyner-Kersey Center.
Volunteers and donations of "non-violent" toys are needed.
"We need people to participate," Rev. Francis said. "We will have airplanes, balls, gloves and a laundry list of other toys to exchange for toy guns."
The toy gun exchange is something Rev. Francis and others have been working on for months.
"It is about doing something," he said. "This is not the only answer, but it can impact this culture of violence."
Rev. Francis said he does not have a problem with adults who legally own real guns.
"This is not about that," he said. "It's about changing the way we nurture our children."
Rev. Francis also said that toy guns can put police officers is tough situations.
"If an officer sees that how can he tell if it is real or not," he said.
St. Louis County Police Officer Randy Vaughn agreed.
"Unless it looks nothing like a real gun there is the potential for a problem," he said.

Console worked but controller did not. No separate controller on your website so I ordered one from another vendor. Returned your controller with note saying I had replaced controller and would like a partial refund. You sent another controller. I really appreciate the customer service, but with shipping charges and controller issues, I paid about double the original Xbox plus controller costs quoted by you. Moral: make sure reconditioned stuff works before you send it off!!

Posts Tagged 'Euclid'
Infinite Beauty
In the last post I described one of the uses of large prime numbers, and added a link to the biggest yet known. It is a Mersenne prime, meaning that it is 2 to the power of another prime, minus one, and can therefore be written as 243112609-1; fully expanded, it is over twelve million digits long.
So large prime numbers are useful. And fortunately, they are an inexhaustible resource. When I say we know this for certain, I really do mean it. We are more certain of the infinitude of primes than we are of the size or age of the universe; more certain of it than we are that the Earth revolves around the sun.
Just as there are some books which everybody ought to read, there are some solutions to problems that are just so neat that it seems a shame not to know them. Euclid's proof, devised over two thousand years ago, is a real glimpse of mathematical beauty.
How do we know that there are an infinite number of primes? Imagine that we don't. We might think that the prime numbers stop after a while, and that every subsequent number is nonprime. If that were the case, there would have to be some highest-possible prime, the largest of them all. Call this ultimate über-prime P.
P stands at the head of a gigantic list of prime numbers, going all the way from P to the smallest prime, 2. We might arrange these numbers in order – write them down on a piece of paper longer than the universe.
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 … and so on for millions of light years of paper until finally … P
This piece of paper contains an exhaustive list of every prime number that exists. Now imagine taking all the numbers on this list and multiplying them together, to give an even more unimaginably huge number, R.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 11 x 13 … x P = R
R ends up being a number so huge that P seems tiny – but we know for a fact that R is not a prime number. We know this because R, divided by any prime number on our list, will leave no remainders. R is not prime because it is a multiple of 2 – and of 3, and of 5, and of 7, and even of P…
Now take this mind-blowingly, egregiously vast number R and add 1.
What do we know about Q? Well, we know that if we divide it by 2, we'll get one left over – the one we've just added to R. And if we divide it by 3, we'll get one left over. And by 5, one left over… all the way up to P. If we divide Q by P, we'll get one left over.
Which means that Q is a prime number – much, much bigger than P, the number we assumed was the largest prime. And if we take Q to be the largest prime, essentially making it into our P, we know there will be an even bigger Q to dwarf it.
When it comes to arguments, what could be more decisive – or as elegant – as this?
This proof and others are discussed in G H Hardy's classic essay on mathematical beauty, A Mathematician's Apology. The full text can be found here.

LBUSD Superintendent, Governor Schwarzenegger Applaud Adoption of National Standards
2010-08-03 · By Editor
The Long Beach Unified School District joined Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in applauding the California State Board of Education's unanimous vote to adopt the national Common Core State Standards.
The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort to establish a single set of high and clear educational standards for English-language arts and mathematics that states can share and voluntarily adopt. Designed by a diverse group of teachers, experts, parents and school administrators, the Common Core reflect the best available evidence and the highest state standards from across the country. As part of the adoption process, states have the option to add additional standards as a way to encourage high-standards states like California to maintain and even extend the rigor of their existing standards.
By providing clear goals for learning, the standards help teachers make certain that students have the skills and knowledge they need to be successful. A website dedicated to the project is available at www.corestandards.org.
"These standards, which were developed with LBUSD's input, will help educators to close achievement gaps and ensure educational equity among America's schoolchildren," said Christopher J. Steinhauser, superintendent of schools for the Long Beach Unified School District.
Steinhauser earlier this year traveled to Washington, D.C. to work with state and national leaders on crafting the Common Core Standards, after he was invited by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell to serve on the Validation Committee for the project. Spearheading the project is the National Governors Association, along with state education chiefs.
Steinhauser also recently joined 54 of his fellow urban school superintendents nationwide in signing an open letter (attached PDF) supporting the standards, under the auspices of the Council of the Great City Schools. The Council is an association of the nation's largest school systems, including Long Beach.
The new standards will finally give America a common definition of what academic proficiency means and what it doesn't mean, rather than having 50 different definitions. Not only will this help schools focus their efforts on one set of high standards, but it will undercut the temptation by individual states to lower their standards to meet federal targets for achievement on state tests.
"I fully support the implementation of these standards," Steinhauser said. "They will help our school district to build upon its nationally recognized successes."
The standards support LBUSD's concerted effort to improve college and career readiness through the school district's own Academic and Career Success Initiative, Steinhauser said. While the college enrollment rate here has reached 74 percent, a 6 percent increase in just two years, the goal is to achieve a 90 percent college enrollment rate by 2013.
"The Common Core Standards help light the path toward attainment of this ambitious goal," Steinhauser said, "and today's adoption of the standards is a vital step in providing equal educational opportunities for all students."

Gasp! Turns out OnLive really isn't in compliance with Microsoft licensing!
OnLive (the same company that streams games to you across the web) has put together a Windows 7 DaaS solution called OnLive Desktop that they make available for free or for a small charge.
From the "News we already knew, in spite of the fact that nobody would confirm it" department, we have an update on the OnLive Desktop and Desktop Plus offerings that have drawn the attention of a large number of industry experts and analysts over the past few months. If you're not familiar with the situation, OnLive (the same company that streams games to you across the web) has put together a Windows 7 DaaS solution called OnLive Desktop that they make available for free or for a small charge. We wrote two articles about this if you'd like to catch up (don't forget to read the comments):
Breaking down OnLive Desktop: Why this is not the desktop virtualization solution you're looking for
OnLive loose ends: Are they using VMware? Dedicated hardware? Custom licensing? Plus, are they on Microsoft's acquisition radar?
Across the industry, people wondered how they could pull this off. They simply had to be losing money when you factored in Microsoft licensing. After all, it was Windows 7, not Windows Server 2008, which has a simple SPLA license. Windows 7 VDI licensing is much more complex. Were they ignoring the rules? Did they have some fancy combination of blade PC's and dedicated hardware that precluded them from having to deal with typical Windows VDI licensing (VDA for every device that accesses desktops)? Did they have a special agreement with Microsoft? Whatever was happening, it was certainly not in compliance with Microsoft's licensing for Windows 7.
I even had a meeting with OnLive's CEO Steve Perlman, where I asked him about how it all worked. Here's an excerpt from my first article:
I posed these questions to Steve several times, and never got an answer besides (and I'm paraphrasing) "it depends" or "that's not the hard stuff--the hard stuff is in delivering this experience."
I was told that OnLive has licensing experts that have all this worked out, but I was never told how that could be. I explained the licensing issues, the SPLA, the VDA, the fact that there are dozens of DaaS providers that are trying to accomplish the same thing but can't due to Microsoft licensing restrictions. Each time, my question was deflected and focus shifted over to the device demos.
It turns out the licensing experts dropped the ball, and that all the evasiveness and tap-dancing that Steve did during that meeting was for good reason:
Yesterday, Microsoft's VP of Worldwide Licensing and Pricing, Joe Matz, wrote a blog post that specifically says that OnLive is not playing by the rules. He cites media coverage as well as analyst coverage from Gartner for bringing their attention to the matter, and say that they are "…actively engaged with OnLive with the hope of bringing them into a properly licensed scenario, and we are committed to seeing this issue is resolved."
I should add that we posed direct (followed by indirect) questions to Microsoft through official channels and got no response (you can read the transcript or listen to our podcast here). In fact, it's a significant reason Brian Madden vacated his Microsoft MVP status. To him, there was no point if Microsoft was just taking, while not giving anything back in return (like simple license compliance information), all while holding the industry back by ignoring all the suggestions coming their way.
To let OnLive continue to do this is a slap to the face of DaaS companies like tuCloud, Desktone, and many others. These companies have been playing by the licensing rules from day one, and have had to stand by and watch as OnLive does the same thing they've been trying to do while ignoring the rules. However great the OnLive solution may be (which is arguable, but it has it's plusses), it's not fair to the companies that have been doing it correctly if OnLive is allowed to continue offering their solution while in violation of the agreement. Nevermind that they had the audacity to build and release a solution either knowing or being blind to the fact that they weren't in compliance. I told them what the licensing situation was, and they simply glazed over it. That's dirty pool.
The easy way to solve this is for Microsoft to get on with adopting a SPLA license for Windows 7. I don't know what the argument is. They've never had one for a desktop OS before, but it's 2012 now, and the world is much different than it was five or ten years ago. If they think they'll lose money, they need to evaluate the business they're losing by NOT having a more appropriate licensing solution. Nobody is saying it has to be cheap, but it does have to be there so that companies can build more efficient infrastructures and deliver desktops to more use cases.

Exeter Singing Roots, known as 'Singing Roots', is the city's folk and world music vocal ensemble for young people
aged 8 - 18, directed by singing leader, Bella Lilley from Wren Music.
The group is inspired by folk music from around the world, as well as traditional music from here in Devon. We enjoy writing our
own folk-inspired songs, as well as re-inventing very old songs for a new audience. New members are always welcome, and can
have the first session free to try the group out.
A typical session involves a fun and active warm-up to get bodies, breath and voices ready to sing. Next we always do something new to get our brains buzzing and to take us straight into practicing singing in harmony. The rest of the session includes learning and rehearsing an exciting range of songs from around the world, featuring beautiful harmonies and strong, ear-catching melody lines.
Throughout the session we practise important singing techniques such as developing our vocal range and exploring the different sounds our voices can make. We also have time to take a well-earned break half way through, and play some games along the way! The emphasis is on having fun together and making friends whilst enjoying using your voice.
You are encouraged to bring your own songs/songs you've found to the group. You can teach them too, if you want - developing leadership skills along the way and improving confidence through sharing your knowledge . There's no need to read music (but you can if you like), and we learn by ear, which is fantastic for developing your aural skills and memory.
Regular performances at festivals, local events and concerts are a great chance to show family, friends - and the whole community - what you can do.
Meets: Rougement Room, St. Sidwell's Community Centre,
Sidwell St, Exeter, Devon EX4 6NN, United Kingdom
Time and Date: Thursdays in term time, 5.00 – 6.30 pm - see Calendar
Leader: Bella Lilley
Contact: email@example.com
Cost: £5 per session or £22.50 for 5 sessions or £45 for 10 sessions
(Please note that concessions are available for people in receipt of income-related benefit and those in full-time education - please bring proof of status)
Pay Online: Go to 'Shop'
Resources - music scores and audios are available to group members - a link will be supplied by group leader
