There are four popular ways to learn to improvise over a song.
- Learn "vocabulary" from the masters. This approach is particularly popular with jazz musicians. Find solos by the greats on your instrument and learn them note-by-note, ideally by ear. The idea is that by doing this, you gradually internalise the "vocabulary" of licks and patterns which sound good in a solo. Realistically, you also need to couple this with quite a lot of music theory study to know which bits of vocab will work in a given situation, be able to adapt your built-up repository of improv ideas in new musical situations, and create solos which are your own and not just you performing other people's solos.
- Learn the theory. Although many musicians shy away from it, music theory is a powerful way to find your musical creativity. Like it or not, music is built on theory, and understanding that theory allows you to know with confidence which notes are going to sound good in a certain musical context. When it comes time to play a solo, knowing the theory behind the song's chords and which scales go well with those chords can allow you to feel quite free in choosing notes for your improvisation that will sound good.
- Pure instinct and experimentation. This is perhaps the most romanticised approach: the musician who just instinctively knows what notes to play and can effortlessly produce amazing-sounding solos. The idea is that you just sit in your room and practice (a.k.a. woodshedding) for hours and days and weeks and months until eventually you emerge, with an incredible ability to play audience-wowing solos every time. That end result sounds great - but the process is a total black box. You're essentially just experimenting at random and hoping that somewhere inside, your brain is making sense of it all. It is possible to improve with this approach, but it's slow, frustrating, and ultimately risky: if you have no idea how you are improvising, there's never any certainty that your next note will sound good. In fact it's a risky approach in two ways: you might never "make it" to that ability after months or years of practice, and even if you think you have, every solo is still going to be a gamble.
- Train your ears. This last approach is, in my opinion, the best. It's the approach that actually underlies #1 (vocab) and #3 (instinct), and it goes great with #2 (theory). Musicians learning to improvise are actually training their ears passively without being conscious that this is what they are doing. By instead actively and consciously training your ears you can dramatically accelerate the process of learning to improvise, and reach the goal of "playing whatever you imagine" much sooner. It also avoids the risk of the "instinct" approach because although you are utterly free in your improvisation, you actually understand what you're doing rather than choosing notes seemingly at random. You can still make use of theory rules and be inspired by the vocabulary of the masters, but you are truly improvising something new and entirely your own each time you play a solo.

Here are some of the most asked questions that mortgage brokers often hear. Whether you want to talk to them or if you plan on being one of the professionals of the field these will definitely help you.
What's Chattel Mortgage on Real Estate Loans in Warranty?
It is the transfer of a property owner to the lender's name until complete settlement of the contract, as a guarantee for the credit, a process performed in Real Estate Registry Office with Low Doc loan Melbourne where the property is registered, and the direct ownership remains with the customer being tied to it just as there is outstanding balance in the operation. The client in this period, guests can use the property normally even rent it, if you want to trade it, it is necessary the consent of the lender.
In Brazil, there are several names for this form of credit, such as property refinancing, credit to property collateral, loan with property collateral, credit to own property, credit supply, credit on immovable property, loan using property, among others.
What is the difference between Chattel Mortgage and Mortgage?
The Property Collateral it is a contractual guarantee where the client hires the temporary transfer of its property to the Financial Institution. It is currently the most used in some countries in relation to both the acquisition of new properties and in property refinancing (loans guaranteed).
Mortgage in a similar process, but is a practice that is almost out of use in most countries by financial institutions, and provide for greater customer interest rates due to their legal complexion. It is always important to talk to specialized professionals such as the ones available Here.
How will I get the money?
The amounts will be released through credit in your checking account indicated on the registration form. In the case of purchase of a third property, the credit is released directly to the property seller and, in some cases, there will be the incidence of taxes such as (Tax on Credit Operations).
How should the installments be paid?
They should happen monthly.
How far can I get the value of my property on credit?
It can get up to 50% of the property value based on market evaluation performed by our team (http://www.mortgagebrokernews.ca/news/brokers-react-to-bank-acquisition-197428.aspx).
Is there a minimum and maximum value for this funding?
The minimum amount is $ 20,000 and R $ 1,500 million as a maximum, most of the times . Operation above this value will be examined case by case.
What is the deadline for the release of funds?

Role Playing in Mumbai
Amidst all the horror seeping out of Mumbai, I was struck by the behavior of the hotel employees—the stories of cooks, bell boys and waiters risking their lives and in some cases dying to help keep the guests safe. I have seen this same behavior in other disasters—most notably the 1977 Beverly Hills Supper Club fire, which I wrote about in detail in the book. But each time, it strikes me as surprising all over again.
Here is an excerpt from a New York Times story about the heroes of Mumbai:
As the city faced one of the most horrific terrorist attacks in the nation's history, many ordinary citizens…displayed extraordinary grace….[At] the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower Hotel, a sous chef named Nitin Minocha and his co-workers shepherded more than 200 restaurant diners into a warren of private club rooms called The Chambers. For the rest of the night they prepared snacks, served soda, fetched cigarettes and then, when told it was safe, tried to escort the diners out through the back. They wanted to make sure their guests, many of them Mumbai's super-elite, were as comfortable as possible. "The only thing was to protect the guests," said the executive chef, Hemant Oberoi. "I think my team did a wonderful job in doing that. We lost some lives in doing that."
In catastrophes, human beings tend to hold fast to the roles they held before anything went wrong. Hotel guests, like airplane passengers, tend to play the part of the passive, obedient victims. Employees—even ones earning poverty level wages—tend to feel a profound sense of responsiblity for the guests they were serving cocktails to just moments before. A study of the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire found that about 60% of the employees tried to help in some way—either by directing the guests to safety or fighting the fire. By comparison, only 17% of the guests helped. People were remarkably loyal to their identities, and so it was in Mumbai.
These stories are important, because they remind us of our humanity just when we are close to losing faith. But these stories are also lessons about what could be, about latent defenses we don't know we have—and don't cultivate the way we might. Imagine, just for kicks, if our culture pushed everyone to have an identity as someone who helped, who took action in the face of terror and confusion, who was responsible for the safety of others. Imagine how crowded the trenches would be.

China's giant manufacturing sector slowed for a third consecutive month in March to mark a weak first quarter for factory activity in the world's second largest economy.
HSBC and Markit's purchasing managers' index gave a reading of 48.1 in March, its lowest in eight months and below the 50 level that separates growth from contraction.
The closely-watched survey has given declining readings for five consecutive months, its longest losing streak since the 2008 crisis.
It signalled that weakness mainly came from weaker domestic demand.
Wei Yao, economist at Societe Generale, said the March result was particularly disappointing given that many had expected a pick-up after the Chinese New Year holidays at the end of January.
She added that policymakers are "unlikely to sit still" in the face of the "rapid growth deceleration" but that the chance of radical action remains low.
China's prime minister Li Keqiang earlier this month said the country would target growth of around 7.5pc in 2014. The economy grew 7.7pc in both 2013 and 2012, the lowest expansion in more than a decade.
Qu Hongbin, chief China economist at HSBC, said he expected Beijing to take steps such as easing barriers to private investment, spending on infrastructure projects like urban railways, public housing and air pollution, and "guiding lending rates lower".
Markets remained sanguine despite signs of a slowdown. The Shanghai Composite added 0.8pc, while Japan's Nikkei ended the day up 1.77pc. Robert Tayon, economist at Barclays, said the market reaction could reflect "speculation China will need to take action to meet its 7.5pc growth target".

Yikes, has it been over a month since I posted??? Holy crazy month(s!). I *thought* once the senior rush was over that I would have plenty of downtime to relax and plan for and enjoy the upcoming Christmas season. But I thought wrong!
I had few last minute sessions, a bunch of orders to fill and deliver, an online "finding the light" photography course to finish and then, of course, there is the tree cutting and decorating, cookie making, gift planning/buying craziness thrown in. Phew!! But it is all good and now there is some serious downtime in my very near future that I am definitely looking forward to!
I had a WONDERFUL year. I had so many amazing new clients and I felt so honored to work with each and every one of them. I learned so much over the past year which again affirms my belief that "the more you know, the more you realize how little you know". I have so much more I want to learn and improve on next year!!! I have so many ideas and and new projects floating around in my head - I just hope I can get the time and motivation to work on them all.
Last year, I was approached by the Pennsylvania Adoption Exchange about a program they were going to implement in 2011. They wanted to try to improve their website that showcases all the kids awaiting adoption. They realized that the photos they had of many of the kids were, shall we say...unflattering. They were often grainy, blurry snapshots that didn't showcase the personality and beauty that is found in every child. So they were asking professional photographers throughout the area if they would be willing to donate their time to take some photos of waiting children.
My first thought, being the bleeding heart I am, is that "how can I possibly do this?" I will want to take each and every kiddo home with me!!
But then I thought "how can I NOT do this". Honestly, it is the very least I can do.
On a very cold, November day, I met a sweet 16 year old girl for her session. Since we only needed one good photo for the site, and since it was COLD and spitting snow, I tried to get her session done as quickly as possible.
After I left our quick session, I just kept thinking about this girl. She was quiet and sweet and it just broke my heart. What she wants this holiday season has nothing to do with video games, cell phones, cars, clothes or any of the other "things" a typical 16 year old is wishing for. What she wants is a family. A family to eat dinner with, talk with, and just be with.
And then I thought about my own kids and how incredible lucky they are.
I thought about our Thanksgiving with piles of food and fun with a house full of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
I thought about our annual Christmas tree cutting expedition which also includes grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins.
I thought about our crazy Christmas Day activities which includes gifts under the tree, a 1 hr trip to one set of grandparents/aunts/uncles/cousins and then a 1 hr trip back to see more grandparents/aunts/uncles/cousins.
I thought how incredibly lucky my kids are that they have a PLETHORA of family who throw so much love onto our girls that they can't even comprehend that there are some kids out there who don't even have a family.
This year, my kids actually had a very short list for Santa. My Kallie asked for pjs, undies and a bookmark. My Christina asked for an ipod and a few small items. They are excited about Christmas - like any kid would be!
But I truly believe they are much more excited for all the FUN than for all the gifts. I definitely know that all the things that they love and things they will remember for many years to come have nothing to do with "things" at all. They will remember moments, they will remember trips, they will remember parties and they will remember family.
Merry Christmas!!!

Fashionslave store re-opening party
Last friday I was invited to the Fashionslave store re-opening party as they were undergoing a big store renewal (and no, they don't sell sado maso stuff). They sell amazing clothes and accessories by brands like Henrik Vibskov, Mykita, Julie Egli, but also newcomer brands and many others. Unfortunately we couldn't stay there very long, but I will for sure come back and try on some clothes - it's definitively worth checking them out!

Model-driven SOA emerges
Model-driven SOA provides a "soup-to-nuts" approach to building business-centric Web services, including the nitty-gritty simulation of how those services will work together, an IDC analyst says.
The combination of business process management (BPM) with service-oriented architecture (SOA) is driving modeling for application development, said Steve Hendrick, group vice president of application development research at Independent Data Corp. (IDC).
Commenting on this week's release of model-driven SOA tools by Telelogic AB, he said, "I don't see where if you want to address SOA in a scaleable way, you can go down that path without support for modeling."
As enterprise IT looks for a more structured and consistent way of building applications so that it can get the SOA benefits of Web services reuse, modeling from the high level business requirements to the nitty-gritty processes provides a way to do that, Hendrick said. But it is a trend that most analysts, himself included, did not expect to emerge so quickly.
"Many of us underestimated just how fast business process modeling would become a topical issue for organizations," he said. "Historically, we only had UML process modeling that was low level and wasn't much use in SOA."
Back in the day, developers pretty much stuck with gathering requirements, which usually ended up gathering dust on a shelf, and then got down to coding applications. With the adoption of SOA and BPM and attendant technologies, including business process modeling notation (BPMN) and business process execution language (BPEL), that approach is going over the application development waterfall in a barrel.
"In the last couple years the thrust of BPMN brought business process modeling to the forefront," Hendrick said. "This whole idea of being able to get BPMN specified and link that to BPEL and do some automated code generation is intriguing, especially when you combine that with the business rules capability that most of the BPMN vendors offer."
Telelogic is leading the way, the analyst said, with this week's integration of its Tau model driven development tool with System Architect, the enterprise architecture tool it acquired with its purchase of Popkin Software and Systems Inc. in 2005.
"Now that Telelogic has been able to link the Tau and System Architect products together that gives them the ability to provide a more structured model-driven approach to app dev all the way from requirements through IT architecture," Hendrick said. "We now have a more soup-to-nuts structured approach to how we think about doing application development from a modeling perspective."
In Telelogic's vision, model-driven SOA starts with the high level business requirements soup and goes down to the Web services nuts.
At the nuts level, Scott McKorkle, director of product marketing at Telelogic said Tau now includes a Web-enabled SOA simulator.
"Tau has always been able to build a design model for a distributed application or any sort of application and then execute that model, run the design from beginning to end and see how it functions, whether it behaves the way you wanted and verify functionality before moving to the next step," he explained.
Web-enabled, Tau can now help the SOA developer see how Web services will interact in an application.
"The model can now call and execute Web services over the Internet using SOAP to go out and call existing Web services just like a real distributed application running in a SOA environment would," McKorkle said. "In the past you would have to simulate all that functionality in your design model."
Architects working with business services are also able to do orchestration simulation using it to call the Web services just as an application server would, he said.
Is this level of modeling important to the success of SOA?
"I think so," Hendrick said, "because one of the SOA subtexts is all about the whole issue of reuse. Realistically if you really want to get to reuse, you really want to have a higher level model-based oversight on what the different components are and how they interact."
Model-driven SOA provides a way to check from beginning to end that the application is consistent with the high-level business goals and the low-level Web services capabilities.
"The advantage of dealing with this all on a logical model level is that as you spec applications and build them, you can tell from the models whether or not you have consistency in your design," Hendrick said. "That's going to save you a whole lot of time and energy."

The former assumption is contradicted by Glen's premie example, and the latter could even be thought of as implying that no one can ever look older than their age, if we consider that anyone could die at any moment. Alter the model by allowing y (apparent age) to be less than 0 (actual age at birth) or greater than 1 (actual age at death) and the fixed point theorem no longer applies.

Something like the anchor age phenomenon might arise on occasion out of wishful thinking, since many people want to look (or to be) older than they are when they are young and younger than they are when they are old. But as a general rule it seems to be both implausible in the abstract and contradicted by experience.Blarhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829599.post-57672642205590257792007-04-03T15:20:00.000-07:002007-04-03T15:20:00.000-07:00Ahh, finally a conversation where being a mathemat...Ahh, finally a conversation where being a mathematician is helpful. What you need is something called a fixed point theorem, and actually a pretty simple one (the most abstract ones are pretty mind bending).

Let x = actual age and y = apparent age. Instead of measuring in years, measure each of these variables on the scale [0,1], where 0 is newborn and 1 is dead. Then each person has an "apparent age function" f:[0,1]->[0,1], such that y = f(x).

If f is a continuous function, there always exists a "fixed point" where x = f(x) -- that is, where a person looks exactly their age. This point is not necessarily unique, though. For example, you could have someone who always looks exactly their age -- or someone who looks young up through early adulthood, is old-looking in middle age, but then ends up being a very well-preserved 90-year-old. (This could certainly happen for someone who goes bald at a young age, but never gets especially wrinkled or sickly.)

Now, one can argue over whether representing ages on a scale from [0,1] is reasonable, and whether f is continuous or not, but this is the relevant math.Arihttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829599.post-29660953449646479912007-04-02T00:02:00.000-07:002007-04-02T00:02:00.000-07:00This seems somehow related.This seems somehow related.My anchor age is firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829599.post-85270845521342219082007-03-31T20:48:00.000-07:002007-03-31T20:48:00.000-07:00Half-baked at most, I'd say.

Note that premies are actually contrary to the theory, since they begin below the y=x line, although you could get around that by counting from conception rather than birth. But I find it highly implausible to claim that no one has ever looked younger than they were from the beginning. I have known several people who looked young for their age ever since early childhood, although I admit that my memories do not go all the way back to day 0 (especially if we place the origin where I suggested). August, did you ever look old for your age when you were younger? If not, then you are actually one of these counterexamples to Glen's theory.Blarhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829599.post-89308120806564122252007-03-31T14:15:00.000-07:002007-03-31T14:15:00.000-07:00Jeffrey -- yes, that's true, if we assume everyone...Jeffrey -- yes, that's true, if we assume everyone looks zero when they are zero.

Whether or not you're hiring an expert photographer or placing your personal event photography talent to the test, it may be price investing in professional-stage photography gear. If you are taking pictures commercially, you most likely need to take out a separate business policy on your images tools insurance coverage coverage. You'll additionally need a memory card to store pictures on. The cards rely on the camera you purchase. With probably the most superior equipments and dependable services Future Forward is truly dominating the accessories world. You could also watch out to not pay the shipping prices a number of instances for every bit of apparatus.
C) Haha, nice — I actually use one hundred{7f6f20b7a240e3542c2d564edff32d617d6a6579d9aae2bfbf21e4bc41a3382c} primes for my very own images (though I'll hire zooms if I would like one), so I agree fully! However if you happen to I really thinking about photography it is greater than utilizing this new computer systems with a CMOS sensors that we name in the present day DSLR. If you want to step it up a notch by taking your own pictures for the blog, here is a checklist of the pictures gear I take advantage of and love. I don't have sufficient mirrorless expertise to write down an identical article in that vein, but someone else at Photography Life might do so in the future. I am recommending this tools because it is a number of the best for the cash, not as a result of a producer is paying me to recommend their product. You'll undoubtedly want a bag to your camera, but I recommend towards buying one new from a retailer. One remaining advice: don't worry an excessive amount of in regards to the tools that you simply're using.
With photographer insurance from E&L, you may also select from room-only insurance that covers you solely in a particular premises, in addition to all risk plans that present safety in locations around the country, or even worldwide, they usually may even include unattended automobile cowl.
A full record of advantages and downsides for each of those options is accessible here Along with basic insurance coverage, DSLR Shooter also offers a pleasant listing of suggestions and resources to guard your gear other than purchasing an insurance coverage policy.
Personally, I have bought almost all of my tools (including my D7000) used at Adorama, lots of which had a score of E. None of them were junk in any respect — in truth, they had been all essentially model new. Your help is greatly appreciated, and helps us bring you tons of helpful pictures resources!

A Tale of Two Mothers
Erin Huber
Susan Hodgin
In this month when we honor mothers, it is our distinct pleasure to feature two Harrison Center studio artists and mothers, Susan Hodgin and Erin Hüber. Hodgin's show, a limitless existence can be seen in the Harrison Gallery this month. She is also a subject of Hüber's Mother Artist Project, a project that documents the lives of mother artists through photography and interviews. Hüber's black and white images of 20 mother artists is on display in the Gallery Annex. Her work was borne out of the frustrations she faced in trying to simultaneously raise a family and finish art school. Convinced that there were other women with similar challenges, she set about documenting their stories. It is truly inspiring to read how these women have learned, each in their own unique way, how to strike the right balance in their lives between parenting and creating art. Huber's accompanying photographs add a touching dimension to the womens' words.
Susan Hodgin has described her work as "an attempt to map, chart, and record my reactions to nature, both near and far." She found beauty in the catastrophic and fearful on the grandest scale, in nature. Her new work shares this theme, but on a much smaller, more intimate scale. Diagnosed with colon cancer in 2011 while pregnant with her daughter, Anna, Hodgin is currently being treated for a reccurence. She has interpreted her experience on canvas and paper in this new body of work and the results are breathtaking.
Hodgin with daughter, Anna. Photographs by Erin Hüber.
Happy Mother's Day to Erin and Susan. Thank you for making the world a more beautiful place.
Their work hangs through May 30th.

Last night, our movie "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore could have been made this past year instead of 2005 when it was released. The compelling climate information, effective pictures and graphs were a stark reminder how far we've come and how far we still need to go. Sadly, as a country, we lag behind many other countries in our governmental policies and seemed to be going backwards. The real moving forces are concerned individuals (us), environmental organizations and more local governmental agencies. Following the movie, it was moving to hear each person's comments.
Don't miss "An Inconvenient Sequel" on Thursday, November 30 in the Fireside Room at the church 52 Arlington Avenue. We will start at 7:00pm. Come a little early to chat and get your popcorn for the movie.
Have you ever been to a "Green Holiday Bazaar"? This is our first attempt to put together this alternative shopping event. We have sound some wonderful vendors that use natural resources, sustainable products, and creative art. Buying gifts that are good for the planet, IS good for the planet. Please mark your calendars and help spread the word.

Canadian artist wants his viewers to be 'arrested'
Photography is the language of light – a fine art that goes way beyond technical details. My artist colleague and long-term Xchanges Member Barry Herring uses his camera as a source material to start. The photographer from Victoria B.C. invites his viewers to wander in his images and find their own meaning. Herring has been working in a traditional black and white darkroom as well as in colour with digital techniques.
Barry, you are a true lens-based visual artist – however your art is not an exact replication of what you see.
Barry Herring: I don't think we don't need more replicas. The camera is a tool for me to find source material and a starting point to explore and have some fun.
Are you not interested in just capturing a moment forever?
Barry Herring: I want the viewer to initially be arrested and then invited or drawn into the image to start a personal and hopefully deeper exploration of the work, arriving at their own conclusions or telling their own stories of what they experience.
Or as Emily Dickinson puts it: "Tell the truth, but tell it with a slant"?
Barry Herring: Indeed. I try to find a balance in presenting enough ambiguity in the image to allow the viewer to wander in and find their own meaning, but not so much that the image becomes overly complicated and is ignored because it is not concrete enough.
You have been taking photos for long time. How has the nature of photos changed in your opinion?
Barry Herring: Taking pictures about 30 years ago used to be a big deal. Rolls of film used to be expensive, so we put a lot of thought into what we wanted to capture. Today, buying paper and film material for your camera has practically become an art form again.
Do you prefer digital or film photography?
Barry Herring: Film photography has something magical about it – particularly when the image emerges from the chemicals on the tray. There's nothing like it. I have no real preference as it varies with the project I am working on.
You say that your approach starts from patient observation with a personal vision in mind.
Barry Herring: A lot has to do with anticipation. In my art I am looking for something different, but it is all about knowing where to look.
Where did you look when you went on an expedition to the Arctic for example?
Barry Herring: Up North, where there are not trees, just landform, I was exploring 'The Line'…. the line between weather and earth. I remember feeling totally immersed in nature, incredibly small and insignificant standing on a large piece of ice.
Barry, would you share some details with my readers on how to do your amazing sponge technique?
Barry Herring: I have been playing with developing prints using sponges or other tools to achieve unanticipated results. This is instead of putting them through a tray of developer fluid. The resulting images are really lens-based monoprints as each one is unique and can't be exactly reproduced. When combined with toning or hand colouring you get interesting results.
Do you ever attend workshops on photography?
I recently attended a week-long workshop put on by John Sexton who was an assistant to Ansel Adams and is recognized as one of the best traditional film photographers alive. He is a true master craftsman and it was inspiring to see how he worked with his cameras and in his darkroom. I realized that the type of photography that interested him was not at all similar to my focus. However the care in his approach to the craft and the desire to produce an image that inspires viewers is the same for both of us.
Barry, which photographers have inspired you?
- Henri Cartier-Bresson for composition
- Robert Frank for street photography
- Richard Avedon for portraits
- Sebastiao Salgado for his vast landscapes
- Michael Kenna for his quiet landscapes
- Gerhard Richter for hand coloured photos
- Jeff Wall for the introduction of narrative
- Robert & Shana ParkeHarrison for arresting imaging
Barry Herring, thank you for sharing your thoughts with my readers.
Barry Herring, a retired architect with a lifelong interest in photography, works out of Xchanges Gallery' Crossgrain Photographic Studio, a traditional wet darkroom, in Victoria, B.C. More information about the Canadian artist: gobc.ca/BarryHerringPhotography

June Tarot - 8 of Worlds
The expression this month is INFINITE FLOW The question is: Will you align your heart and mind in perfect harmony or resist infinite adjustment to block your infinite abundance?
The tarot card is the Eight of Worlds – Rhythm in Physical Realm.
Eight represents balance among everlasting change. Balance is an infinite dance that keeps your mind moving, your body fluid and your spirit soaring.
Teach yourself through your continuously changing incoming stimuli and learn through adjusting. Be analytical and creative, mathematical and poetic, intellectual and dreamy, decisive and reflective. Balance is your teacher.
When working with the eight, the infinite flow of abundance is available to you. However, the challenge is balance. There's a balance to the harmony of the flow – yin, yang; being, doing; receiving, giving. These forces are to be in balance in order to flow in divine rhythm and timing.
Bottom Line: The movement and flow of air with the Sun in Gemini enters the watery depths of feelings when it enters Cancer – be curious about opening your heart and delving into the true source of your power.

Your mind is set! You want to go to graduate school but, wait, you have to take an exam to apply? That's right! Mentally and physically preparing yourself for graduate entrance exams can be a lengthy process. But, if you're strategic in your study approach, you'll get through your exam with ease! Here are are a few suggestions to help you get your head in the game.
Every graduate school is different, so program research should be on top of your to-do list. Which exam does the program you are applying to want to see as part of your application? Does it have specific required or recommended scores? Does the program administrator recommend taking an additional subject exam to explore your in-depth knowledge of a subject?
Once you know which exam you will need to take, begin researching the exam itself. How does the exam's scoring system work? Does it contain a writing portion? How long should you expect to set aside to take the exam? How much is it going to cost?
Answering these questions before you begin preparing for an exam is important. Don't stress yourself out for an exam you may not have to take, and make sure you spend time preparing for the sections that may be more difficult for you rather than focusing on the questions that you can answer easily.
With graduate entrance exams, practice is critical. Not only will you need to answer questions about a variety of subjects, but you will need to answer these within a certain amount of time.
Start by taking a diagnostic test to see where you stand and which areas you need to improve in order to achieve your ideal score. If you're not a good test taker, or if you are really struggling with a certain area of the exam, consider purchasing a test preparation package. These can be expensive (like $800!), but you can get a deep discount on either the GMAT or GRE test prep packages by attending our Graduate Pathways events this month. If you'd rather spend only $50 on a test prep package, click here.
Once you feel like you've improved enough, begin practicing the exam in a simulated testing environment. Time yourself and limit distractions, like snacks or music, that you won't have when you take the exam for real. Practicing the exam this way physically and mentally prepares you for the exam and helps you become comfortable with the testing structure.
It would be wonderful if we could put life on hold to study for entrance exams, but we all have places to be, things to do, and people to see. Creating a study schedule that accounts for your normal routine and class deadlines can help you stay on top of your preparation for each section of your exam. When making your schedule, keep your exam date and graduate program application deadlines in mind and build back from that, leaving plenty of room to retake the exam if you need to.
Be sure that your schedule is flexible. You may not think that you want to take part in an online or in-person test prep course, but once you start studying, you may find that the level of structure it provides could be helpful. You also want to make sure that your schedule isn't so rigid that taking a break from it will put you behind. If you're not feeling well or if you have to complete a class assignment you weren't anticipating, don't force yourself to study. Give yourself time to heal or finish other projects, and then refocus on your exam.
Graduate exams are important, so take them seriously. Taking time to prepare will give you the best chance to score well so that you have a compelling application to your future graduate school!

text: Now that the holidays are in full swing, many drivers will take to the highways to visit family and friends. The Texas Department of Transportation has some advice for drivers who will be traveling that will hopefully decrease the number of car accidents. One of the most important things drivers can do to stay safe is to avoid using a cellphone as much as possible. Texting and making calls while driving has caused numerous accidents, some of which resulted in serious injuries or even death. If cellphone use is required, using a hands-free device is slightly safer. Another tip provided by the TXDoT is to wear a seat belt. Statistics show that seat belts save lives, so all drivers and passengers should buckle up as soon as they get in the car. Children should also be in the appropriate safety seat for their weight and age. A third tip is to drive per the conditions of the road. If the roads are icy or it is raining, a driver should slow down to prevent accidents. Also when traveling at night, make sure you watch out for animals crossing the road. Other tips include only passing in the left lane, never getting behind the wheel after you've been drinking and obeying all traffic laws, such as speed limits and construction zone rules. Following these tips could help drivers stay safe. However, sometimes accidents will still happen, and when they occur, those who suffer injuries or losses have a right to compensation. A legal professional with experience in this area can help victims determine if seeking damages is the best course of action.

I LET YOU GO by Clare Mackintosh
CBTB Rating: 4.5/5
I LET YOU GO by Clare Mackintosh tells the story of a mother reeling from the tragic death of her son. On a dark evening, walking her son home from school, a mother's worst nightmare comes true: he slips from her grasp and runs into the road, where he is hit by a speeding car. But the car doesn't stop—it drives off into the night, leaving the mother to watch her son die in her arms. I LET YOU GO follows a mother hiding out in a secluded cottage, attempting to heal from her son's untimely loss, and the two detectives tasked with finding the boy's killer. This story is tragic, heart-wrenching, shocking, and gasp-out-loud good.
This book is best discussed just as the author structures it: in two parts. Part One is atmospheric, contemplative, and emotional; Part Two is dark, raw, and shocking. The little details in the first half of the book that might seem tedious as you're first reading them become hugely important in the book's second half. Mackintosh uses Part One of the book to lay the foundation for a big reveal that the reader won't see coming. The twists that define and propel the second half of the book are made possible by Mackintosh's fastidious character development in the book's first half.
Let's discuss the book part by part.
Part One of this book is all about stage-setting. The reader is presented with various perspectives on the book's central crime: a hit and run accident where a young boy is killed, and the driver never stops to help. We see the accident from the mother's perspective—we witness her heartbreak, her worst nightmare come to life, and her inability to cope with her guilt at not being able to protect her son from this tragedy. We see the accident from the perspective of the police officers tasked with finding the boy's killer—we see how this case has consumed the lead detective's life, causing him to undermine his personal relationships and ignore his family in a single-minded search for justice. We feel the reverberations of this tragedy, and watch as our story's characters struggle to carry its weight.
The book's first half is emotional and heavy. Characters isolate themselves and show terrible judgment as they each try to cope with their individual burdens. At some point right before the book changes gears (and trust me, you'll know when this is happening), I did find myself wondering what this story was marching along towards. Part One moves at a slow pace, carefully crafting a world all its own. The most satisfying thing about this book? Watching that world come crashing down as the book shifts into Part Two.
Part Two of this book is sharp, twisted, gripping entertainment. One of the reviews on the book's inside cover states that I LET YOU GO "[w]ill actually make you gasp out loud." Guess what? It absolutely did.
To say that Part Two of the book is like a rollercoaster ride doesn't do Mackintosh's writing justice. Her story twists and turns, but each move is calculated and precise. To me, Part Two felt like a giant game of Jenga, with Mackintosh calculatingly removing block after block, watching her characters (and her readers) wobble this way and that. Even when you think she's pulled the last piece out from under you, and surely her story can't withstand another twist, she does it. And then she does it again.
I was surprised over and over by Part Two—I never saw its twists coming. But that's not what impressed me most about this book. What impressed me most was how thoroughly Mackintosh prepared for Part Two's twists in Part One. Trust me when I tell you, there's a lot going on in Part Two, but it all falls into place. Every puzzle piece finds its home—granted, not how you had ever expected it would, but it does. I absolutely refuse to spoil the twists found in Part Two, so I'm going to keep my Part Two praise limited to generalities. I highly recommend reserving a whole afternoon to read Part Two, or you'll end up like I did: hitting some crazy plot twists right before bed, and staying up way too late to finish it!
It's too soon for me to release an official list of "2016's Most-Anticipated Thrillers," but I can promise you that when I do, I LET YOU GO will be making (and possibly topping) that list. Congratulations to Clare Mackintosh on an impressive, addictive debut, and thank you to The Berkley Publishing Group for introducing me to a new thriller favorite.

by that final anxious moment;
Hoping beyond words
for a journey to the stars
What is there to doubt? Energy spreads out!
Look around you, you numbskull -- the evidence is all around. You think the laws of the Universe might make a special case out of you? What is there to fear or hope for? Energy spreads out.
Energy tends spontaneously to spread out, unless prevented from doing so. Some living beings, for example humans, prevent it for ten weeks or ten years or a hundred years. Some living beings, for example, yew trees, prevent it for a thousand years. But the prevention is invariably only temporary.
Theories of reincarnation -- leave them to baaing sheep with no eyes who believe in Buddhism. We were born. We will die. In between we struggle to grasp this and that, while espousing the philosophy of letting go. We strive relentlessly to make some kind of forward progress, and to leave some muddy footprint as evidence of such, fearing oblivion. Even fraudsters such as myself who preach the backward step of turning light and shining, still want to make our little mark, to leave our dirty pawprint, to stave off oblivion.
This we do, grasping and striving, because we are not enlightened. You are not the only one who is struggling in vain to hang on to this fleeting body and life.
In any event, enlightened or not, our journey to the stars is assured. Whether we like it or not, energy spreads out.
Point well taken.
I think I understand now, Mike.

We all make mistakes—and occasionally, we make the same mistakes over and over again without registering that they're mistakes in the first place. We're the first to admit when we've made a beauty blunder, which is why we've rounded up the 10 most common beauty mistakes to spare you from having the same slip-up time and time again. We've learned from experience.
1. You're over-exfoliating. Exfoliation helps skin layers turn over faster, which can make your complexion look younger and more glowing, but too much exfoliation messes with the skin's barrier, causing it to lose moisture and even be more susceptible to redness and acne. It's easy to overdo it when you're using a mechanical exfoliant, such as a scrub or washcloth. Instead, opt for a weekly gentle-strength chemical exfoliant or peel, which loosens dead skin cells using an acid (glycolic, salicylic, lactic) or enzyme. Always moisturize and use sunscreen after exfoliating, and avoid scrubs made with particles such as seeds or crushed shells; these exfoliants have jagged edges that create microscopic tears in the skin.
2. You're neglecting your neck. Our necks are exposed to the same aging effects as our faces—the skin there is similarly sensitive and sees sunlight almost year-round (turtlenecks notwithstanding). When applying your moisturizer and SPF, don't stop at the jawline.
3. You're using the wrong cleanser. Does your skin have a squeaky-clean feeling after you splash away your face wash? You may be overdrying your complexion by stripping away its natural moisture. Only the oiliest skin types should use foaming cleansers or washes with scrubbing beads. If your skin is dry (and most of us get drier as we age), choose a moisturizing cream cleanser. Combination skin can handle a little bit of lather, but opt for a gentle formula that won't irritate dry patches.
4. You're washing with hot water. Whether you're showering in it, splashing it on your face, or rinsing your hands with it, hot water strips your skin of its natural oils and leaves it parched. Rinse with warm or cool water instead.
5. You're using mineral oil-based moisturizers. Lip balms and moisturizers made with mineral oil or petrolatum don't get absorbed; instead they create an occlusive barrier on skin's surface. This helps trap moisture in, but doesn't hydrate skin that's already parched. Instead, try a product with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or even an oil, all of which penetrate skin to moisturize beyond the surface.
6. You're not tending to your skin type. Don't just settle for any old cleansing, toning, and moisturizing routine—addressing your specific skin type and concerns is a
7. You're washing your face too frequently. Once in the morning, once at night may even be too much for some people, and forget about any more than that. Unless you're working out, there's no reason to wash your face with the full-on cleanser and water routine more than once a day, in the evening. It's super important to get rid of makeup and the day's grime each night, but in the morning, your skin is fresh from a night of sleep, not dirty. Splash with water and follow with moisturizer instead, or use a micellar water for an extra clean feeling.
8. You're drying out your skin with too many acne treatments. Over-treating is very real, and bringing out the big guns on breakouts isn't always the best thing for your skin. Acne-fighting ingredients are intended to dry out blemishes, but using too much or using them too frequently can cause the opposite reaction and dry skin out to the point that it begins to overproduce oil. Limit yourself to one application in the morning beneath makeup and one at night, and stick to one treatment rather than layering or experimenting.
9. You're trying to scrub away pimples. It can be tempting to try and buff away raised breakouts, but you'll only wear away the top layer of the skin, resulting in more breakouts. It's a vicious cycle, so treat your skin gently.
10. You're washing your face without removing makeup. Some cleansers are meant for makeup removal as well as deep cleansing, but others are meant to cleanse the skin after you've removed your makeup. Using a makeup remover first ensures your cleanest skin possible, as you're less likely to leave residue behind—and you'll avoid rubbing makeup further into your pores as you cleanse.

The Japanese Garden
A Cornish Teleporter
St Mawgan, Newquay
Everything about what Cornwall is known for is based on the idea of tradition and heritage. Pasty's, cakes, fudge and various other foods are all recipes that have been improved on year by year, enjoyed on it's beaches all along the English coast, made up of thousands of year old rocks and sand, all enjoyed by an Ethnic group that have been enjoying Cornwall, long before the Romans ever set foot.
So perhaps the sight of a Japanese Garden might confuse you, but when you consider just how akin the idea of tradition and heritage is to Japanese people, you quickly realise that this garden and all of it's awards, very easily make sense.
First of all, getting to The Japanese Garden in the Cornish village of St Mawgan near Newquay is no easy feat.
Unlike a number of destinations we've previously visited, St Magwan is situated atop a steep hill in an unfamiliar part of town. Taxi's just about want to there and there's a bus, two in fact, the Number 56 and Atlantic Coaster A5 that take you from and to Padstow.
But like all rural busses, they're infrequent, unreliable and not particularly accessible for long times during the day.
It means that if you come into Newquay via plane to the very nearby Cornwall Airport or train to Newquay station, your next point of call is to head over to the car rental station to get about- making you wonder why you didn't just drive here in the first place.
But difficulties in accessibility are what make every retreat a retreat.
Because the Japanese Garden is an escape from the Cornish hillside and by walking in through the entrance doors, you enter a teleporter to a place where the bonsai feels at home.
Now before we go any further, I just want to tell you that my trip here dispelled one myth that I did not expect to be debunked; the bonsai tree is not a type of plant. Instead, bonsai is the practice of growing trees in containers. It's an art form.
As such, The Japanese Garden is more than an enthralling visual experience; it's a learning one too.
Even in autumn, when the leaves are shedding and the ground is brown; this garden pops with colours you hardly expect to see at any time of the year, making any trip here a visual pleasure.
There's also a change of scenery that happens each time you visit, as the garden features a sort of 'plant day-care' program that allows people to bring their prospective bonsai plants to be cared if the owner is away.
It means that each of your trips here has the option of being a little different at certain sections of the garden.
Of course, the idea of a 'garden' means you'll probably spend about five minutes here and then move on soon after.
The Japanese Garden is at least worth an hour of your time, taking you past plants and sculptures you feel that you just have to take a picture of and maybe even with.
It's a quiet location too and the ample walking you'll do whilst you're here makes it an even better location to strike up a conversation with your date, even if you only save it for the benches dotted about the complex.
I want to stress to you just how fantastic an alternative venue like this is to take someone, and with an adult ticket only being £4.50, it's exceptionally cheap too.
But cheapness largely stops there. If you wanted to take a stroll through the bonsai shop and you wanted to leave with a plant; well I just hope you brought a clean credit card, as one of these artistic Japanese treasures can set you back £400 or more.
That's not to say any and all the plants are priced in a way that means you can't take something home as a memento. If you look hard enough, you'll find a nice selection of bonsai plants for £20, as well as starter sets and various other ornaments you can acquire.
But if you do plan to spend a full day out here, be advised that if you haven't brought a lunch that you can eat in the car, you will have to head into, or at least towards Newquay so you can grab a bite to eat since this modest alcove in the side of a hill does not feature a cafe.
A chance to talk without any distractions.
- An unadulterated sense of 'Zen' without the gimmicks.
- Great value for money which can be maximised for a £9 season pass.
- Ever-changing scenery due to the bonsai nursery returning plants to their owners.
- Idyllic location makes for a great location to be 'in the moment.'
- The wash of photo opportunities available would also make a great and impromptu couples photoshoot.
- A great way to spend a very relaxed and low-key afternoon with a loved one.
Majority of items for sale are expensive, so likelihood of getting a token of your travels is small.
Difficult to get to to the point where a car and only a car will do.
8 month open season as between October and February, this little green piece of happiness is closed.
Lack of food options means your trip here may be cut short if a rumbly tummy comes into the equation.
- It may be a hard case to sell, to convince your partner that your trip here may constitute as a date night.
- For those who dislike nature, it might seem no more than an expensive park.

Buildings across the globe are adopting sustainable operational and constructional strategies. The increase in the number of initiatives doesn't just accrue from increased awareness about climate change but green buildings actually offer significant cost savings. It's not just the new establishments are integrating it into their building design blueprints but even existing structures are being refurbished. Green buildings do offer a huge potential to the real estate industry. A green building is aimed at minimizing the use of water, optimized energy efficiency, low waste generation, conservation of natural resources and thereby offering the occupants with a healthy environment to live and work in. The push towards sustainability has also been helped by the new government initiatives taken across India. Programs like LEED specifically emphasize and encourage green building concepts while pushing us towards a greener world.
What Makes A Building Green?
Though the concept of 'green buildings' is still in the developing phase in India, the Green Building Council suggests that 447 out of the registered 2,362 buildings are 'green'. With customers getting more inclined to greener living, the number is sure to increase. So, what makes a green building?
The sustainability and environmental friendliness of a building is rated according to its:
- Water efficiency – minimal waste
- Optimum use of energy using natural insulation designs – use of daylight and solar cells
- Reducing water and recycling – concepts like rainwater harvesting
- Amount of natural green cover in and around the building
- Overall increase in productivity of occupants
Consequently, the benefits include:
- Lower energy bills
- Lower water bills
- More comfortable living/working environment
- Reduced carbon footprint
- Avenues for outdoor recreation
- Improved health
Top examples of Green Buildings across the Globe

LEED Platinum certified this architectural masterpiece eliminates all waste by recycling it within the facility. Even the construction is completely made out of recycled materials.
4. Infosys Limited, Mysore
Another LEED Platinum certified building, the 5 storeys and 780,000 sq ft structure incorporates water savings, sustainable site development, energy efficiency, uses recycled materials for construction and conserves the environment quality. It consumes 40% less energy than similar buildings.
5. Infinity Benchmark, Kolkata
A 20 storied building, it was the 7th construction in the world to become LEED Platinum certified. The structure incorporates rainwater harvesting, CO2 monitoring sensors; humidification controls and wastewater recycle system. The roof is further covered in polyurethane for improved insulation.
Buildings have always been a major consumer of electricity, not only during the operation phase but also during the construction. Climate change has become a real problem today and it has been too long that we have exploited our natural resources. Green buildings are definitely a step towards sustainability and making this world a cleaner and greener place.
