The Shakespeare
The Shakespeare pub 1 Henry Street, Totterdown, Bristol, UK
I'm delighted to have curated a lovely new collection of originals and affordable prints for The Shakespeare which were launched at Totterdown Front Room Art Trail in November last year. It is an eclectic mix from some of my favourite Bristol artists.
Little tin gods and a pair of shades by Andrew Burns Colwill acrylic and soak stain on untreated canvas £385
In the line up this year we have the fabulous Andrew Burns Colwill who has quite a year creating three new exhibitions as well as doing cracking walls at Upfest and Cheltenham Paint Festival. Always a prolific artist Andy has really hit his stride with his take on environmental, social and political issues over the last two years. Often poignant, sometimes challenging and usually with a fair amount of dark humour thrown in his beautiful soak stained canvasses tell a story with a big message.
The elephant in the room by Julian Quaye Signed limited edition framed print £80
We also have the anthropomorphic genius of low brow art Julian Quaye. His is a collection of weird and wonderful characters with their own back stories have an Edwardian and Victorian feel with political undertones beneath the surface. Jules has been concentrating on some new black and white designs of his iconic Aviator and Mr Snuggles this year. I'm really looking forward to seeing the prints that he gives us for this year's trail.
Sugar Almond by Giles Barwick Acrylic on canvas £175
Abstract artist Giles Barwick will be showing us some of his lovely work. His work is ever evolving and changing he says 'The focus of my work is doing something better. I look at other artists and I need to achieve something different. To me it seems like other people are doing the same. That's how my work with faces came about as people were doing works around eyes but not with taking eyes out. These naturally evolved into the more abstract work I am doing now.' Painting for him is a form of meditation in dealing with Crones disease. He says 'It's a focus that takes my mind away from what is happening. When I'm painting I'm not thinking.'
Keep Taking the Tablets by Mary Rouncefield original watercolour on paper £150
I'm really looking forward to seeing Mary Rouncefield's new work. Mary is a Bristol based printmaker and artist working in drawing, textiles and some screen print. I find her art fascinating. She has a life long interest in mathematics and many of her screen prints feature mathematical graphs or patterns. She also uses the symbol of a corset as a metaphor for the mental discipline imposed by mathematics. The end result, for the mathematician, will often be elegant, concise and beautiful, but to achieve that, she/he must conform to the conventions and logic of their subject.
The girl with the Smurf tattoo by Jimmer Willmot Original acrylic on canvas £450
A new artist to the Shakespeare I'm thrilled to announce that we will be having work from Bristol pop-surrealist Jimmer Willmott. I've been hoping to feature Jimmer's work for some time so I am really chuffed that we will be showcasing his unique collection of sugar coated irreverent crazy.
The Adjustment by Neil Roberts £1000
We will also have a new selection of work from the one man ideas factory that is South African born Neil Roberts who has adopted Bristol as his chosen home. Neil is a multi-talented artist taking his inspiration from his creative photography and translating it into art. Over many years Neil has been working on a series of oil paintings which will one day result in a powerful mystical tarot deck. His photo realistic artworks have often been mistaken for his brilliant photographs - such is is skill.

Lessons Learned About
Ways To Find The Best Lawyer For You
As a citizen it would be better if all of us know a little thing or a lot of things when it comes to the law that we have and the law that we are under. A lot of time, when we need a legal advise we often choose the wrong person to consult to. Instead of the lawyer helping you if you chose the wrong one then they could be the reason why you would even end up in jail so in order for us to choose the right one we should educate ourselves first so that we can easily assess whatever things that we may need to consider. When you are too ignorant when it comes to choosing the right lawyer for you, they would probably take some advantage of your ignorance and overcharge you of worse is to lose the fight that could be originally winning. Some lawyers will not have the audacity to explain the things that normal and common citizens should know because they clearly does not care that much. They do not have the same empathy and also sympathy to their clients and are all just there for the money.
You will have to choose the one that is suitable to the case that you have in your situation in order for you to choose the one that are best in their field. Justice must be served well so that we can assure you safety. We have have the wrong lawyer for our situation and we can also have some wrong when it comes to choosing the right lawyer for you. The one that is good and better in giving the right advices for you to do or not. You should try to see how the lawyer is devoted to the work that he or she usually offer, do not settle for less choosing those lawyers who are just in there for the money that they could get and then just leave after all. How did they solved it? It would be better to get a personal lawyer, some might say that the big company which are famous should be the best pick because they have a lot of clients or that the have already been proven and tested. Some might think that the one that has a lot of workers are the best but sometimes that is not the case when it comes to business law..
Some of the offers of the lawyer that you might see in advertisement might look appealing to people like business law. Some who offers small cost may be the one who will give you your money's worth otr will give you the right things that can be given to yourself. Always check and do not assume very much that they are good because of their looks or how they dress well. We should be very meticulous and observant when it comes to choosing the right one.

Director General of Al Jazeera Media Network Mustafa Souag spoke recently at NU-Q about the profession of journalism within the context of the sociopolitical climate sweeping the Arab world over the past half-decade.
"It's easy to find a job," he said to students. "Facing the challenges is the difficult part … you want to be sure from the very beginning that you are following the rules … your only defense, if you face critique, is your professionalism. You need to be editorially sound in everything you do and everything you say, so that nobody can come to you and say you actually lied."
Souag, the third guest to be featured in NU-Q's Al Jazeera Speaker Series, commented on the current state of journalism education, saying that successful reporting involves more than just technical expertise.
"If you don't know philosophy, you don't know sociology, you don't know psychology, you don't know anthropology, you don't know international relations, how are you going to deal with all of the aspects of life that you are going to face in your work as a reporter or editor in the future?"
Souag encouraged critical thinking around concerns that Al Jazeera is a biased organization. He said many opinions emphasize one side of an argument, while Al Jazeera's policy is based on neutral reporting of all sides. While he said this position has attracted criticism from those who want their side covered, the job of the news service is to provide the facts, as cleanly as possible.
"If you want to empower people, tell them the truth," Souag said. "Don't feed them dreams, just give them facts and they will be smart enough to make their own decision. This is our job; this is what we do."
Al Jazeera stands out as a brand, worldwide, not just in the Middle East. This is evident in the channel's popularity in the US and the Balkans, Souag said, answering a question about whether or not its new international channels will spread its efforts too thin. The news organization is now in the midst of setting up a channel in Turkey, and their confidence has been bolstered by the popularity of the Al Jazeera Turk news website.
Answering to the notion that Al Jazeera is influenced by the Qatari government, Souag called on an example in Syria. When Qatar took its own stand on the affairs of the country, the news service went in and reported what was happening on the ground, regardless of how it supported or denied Qatar's political approach.
"Al Jazeera wants to show what is going on in the street," he said. "Governments won't show this. [We] make people aware … give them the knowledge they need. We cover people so they are not in the dark."


text: In 2014, CHAI played leadership roles within case management, training, and logistics facets of the Ebola response in Liberia and served as a critical link between the international emergency response and the government of Liberia. CHAI was ultimately responsible for advising the government and implementing massive scale-up of treatment centers, training of health workers (both national and international), and distribution of critical supplies to health workers in need. As the response grew in size and scope, CHAI liaised with and coordinated partners to streamline activities and ensure they were aligned with governmental goals.

This all new revolution of technology is good for us for making our life easier than before but also creating a huge threat to our privacy. Every person usages minimum of 30 minutes of the Internet in his daily routine. Today we prefer to save our important passwords and details in iCloud. This is now part of our lives and we can't help it because it's all around us. But this revolution is also giving an invitation to a huge problem which we can't even see now.
You must have heard of Equifax data breach in which 147.9 million Americans were affected and their driver's license number got revealed. Most people impacted by the breach had their Social Security Number exposed.
Now Facebook data scandal which is even bigger and more dangerous. This time it has the potential to control the whole democratic process. This one is more complicated and technical. We have tried our best to explain to you the whole scandal and what are their consequences now and what more are coming with that. So, let's check out the terrible truth behind Facebook data scandal.
10. When it all started
'Aleksandr Kogan', a Russian American professor who was working with the Global Market Research company. Kogan created a Facebook personality quiz app called "thisisyourdigitallife" and used his credentials for research purpose. So, when a user agrees to take that quiz using a Facebook account, it pulls all data from your profile. Also, he found a loophole in Facebook's API, by that he was able to pull all data from all the friends in the friend list of 270,000 users who took the quiz without even asking any permission. Which means that the user was not aware that by the single click, this app will fetch all the data from his/her profile and also the data from his/her friends profile as well.
9. Who is Cambridge Analytica?
'Alexander Nix', who was the director of SCL (Strategic Communication Laboratories) Group also well known for election influencer and 'Steve Bannon' a media executive formed this company with 'Christopher Wylie'. Steve suggested naming it as Cambridge Analytica. 'Robert Mercer' also partly owns the company as he funded $15m to this company. Mainly company was known for the Data Mining, Data Brokerage, and Data Analysis with strategic communication for the electoral process.
8. Violation of Facebook Policy
'Aleksandr Kogan' who collected the data of 50 million Facebook users and transfers it to Cambridge Analytica for a good amount. Collecting data was not illegal but transferring it to other company without telling Facebook is the violation of policy. And for the Cambridge Analytica, this data was like a gold mine. From Facebook status, likes, comments, and even private messages Cambridge Analytica got high-quality real-time data to understand the behavior of 50 million persons in real life.
7. What Cambridge Analytica Did With Data.
You must have heard Cambridge Analytica's name many times during American's presidential election. 'Steve Bannon' who was the Chief Advisor of 'Donald Trump' and manager of the election campaign for him. And he used the Cambridge Analytica for the whole campaign process. Company influences the whole election process through different media platforms and used social media to spread much fake news, trolls against opposition using video and images as per their behavior and manipulated the psychology of voters and controlled the whole democratic process.
6. Facebook's Attempt
When Facebook came to know about all these data leaks. They immediately banned the App and deleted the account of 'Aleksandr Kogan' and 'Cambridge Analytica'. And also asked them to delete all the data which they have obtained through Facebook. They also asked them to issue a certificate that, they have deleted all the data. But, here is where Facebook went wrong. They didn't actually follow up the process.
5. Whistleblower Christopher Wylie
Christopher Wylie was the guy who exposed the truth behind Facebook data leak and how others are using it. He was a data scientist who first met 'Alexander Nix' in the Summer of 2013. Then Nix introduced him to 'Steve Bannon' where they started Cambridge Analytica. Wylie worked there as a director of the company. Recently, in an interview, Wylie stated that Cambridge Analytica never deleted the data of 50 million Facebook users and still uses them for their different strategic businesses. He said that they are putting the whole democratic process at huge risk because they are playing with the psychology of all the voters in the country.
4. What Now They Are Doing With Data
Cambridge Analytica is now running social media influence business and propaganda. By analyzing those data now they have a better understanding of user's behavior. So, with that, they are creating that kind of ads and products in which user is for sure going to engage even if they are not interested ever before. And this is just an example, there is a lot more going on behind the curtains and you can't even see.
3. Facebook's Recent Take
This is now returning a huge problem for Facebook. And their stock fell 13 percent lowest since 2012. In a recent interview with CNN Money Facebook Co-Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that "This is a major breach of trust and I am really sorry that this happened. We have a basic responsibility to product people data and if we can't do that then we don't deserve to have the opportunity to serve people". He also agreed that they have made a mistake by trusting Cambridge Analytica.
Now they are planning to review all the Apps who have access to a large amount of data. Also, we have to make sure that developers like 'Aleksandr Kogan' don't get to access that amount of data and to introduce new AI tools to restrict them. Most of the users on Facebook right now must be thinking, if they have got affected or not? For that Facebook is going to build a tool to tell all the users whose profiles are affected by these kinds of Apps.
2. How They Can Control Us In Future
It's more of technical but this is must know that how they are affecting your Internet life. First, if you are thinking that your privacy is being compromised then your privacy is gone years before and not coming back anytime soon.
This is all data science. Whatever you do online all the companies are maintaining data even of your single click. And if you're thinking, how is that possible then in case of Google you can check yourself. You can go to "https://myactivity.google.com/" you'll see all of your searches which you have made in Google search and also you'll find all of your voice clips which you have searched in Google Assistant 'just for fun'. If these kinds of data reach to wrong anchors in society, which happened recently, then they can control your whole Internet life. Because they understand you better than your friend. They can create an environment as per your psychology and just divert it wherever they want. By using this data, they can manipulate the conversation what you think by creating such kind of environment and culture as per your behavior. This is all happening nowadays and you can't even see it.
In a more broad way, what they think is, if you want to change politics change the units of culture and the units of culture are people. So, if you want to change the politics change the culture and people and their behavior how they think. This is exactly what Russia and China did recently. They accessed data of all the citizens of their country used them to create fake news, trolls and runs campaigns to divert the election towards their favor. Now even our democratic process is also at risk.
1. What Is the Solution And We Can Do?
It is actually very tough to say that what we can do which will save us from all these problems. Now there is a campaign running called #deletefacebook. But are you really sure by just deleting a Facebook account you can secure your privacy? Because today we can't live without the Internet, just admit it. So, it can be anywhere. What we can do is to ask for the transparency for ads which you see on your social media and who are running these ads. They must ask for our permission if they are providing our data to any App or organization. And the government also need to build strong legal regulations against the companies who are collecting our data without telling us.
That's our article on the terrible truth behind Facebook data scandal. Let us know how you liked our article. Your feedback is valuable to us.

New webinar teaches practice owners how to master the power of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) tracking directly from their ClinicMind mental health practice management software.
(PRWEB) March 08, 2015
ClinicMind's new webinar instructs mental health practice owners how to use KPI tracking from within ClinicMind's mental health software and take control of their practice performance. The webinar is available online here.
According to Reuven Lirov, Chief Growth Officer at ClinicMind, the biggest obstacles in setting correct monthly priorities and goals for mental health practice owners and managers are data collection difficulties from multiple sources and its interpretation. "Mental health practice management software must provide effective decision-making tools that liberate practice owners from compiling separate reports in spreadsheets and stacking data to notice a trend over time," says Lirov. "ClinicMind's Practice Health Monitor solves both the problem of data collection and its presentation in a simple graphical way. The Practice Health Monitor enables the mental health practice owner to use visual KPI tracking, visual comparison of multiple KPIs in a single picture, and effective goal-setting based on the numbers in real time."

MALE Take Me Out contestants were warned to tone down suggestive comments to Chloe Sims and Claudia Fragapone in a special tenth anniversary episode.
Producers were reportedly worried over repercussions due to the current Me Too climate following a spate of sexual assault claims by women across the world.
Returning contestant Harry Berry told the Sun's Bizarre column he was told to "be yourself" as the Towie and Strictly star were both feeling nervous.
He said: "We get briefed before the show.
"But before we knew who they were - we only found out when they come down in the lift - they did say to us, 'the girls are quite nervous' so they told us to be easy on them, compliment them.
"They said, 'be yourselves because we picked you for a reason'.
"I think they were worried being a bit of a wolf pack type thing. Sort of the guys giving all the sexual innuendos. Especially with the whole Me Too thing going on at the moment.
"All the guys were really nice to them and trying to do up her confidence really."
Tomorrow's special episode of the ITV show will feature 30 of host Paddy McGuinness' favourite boys return to take their place behind the podiums.
Celebrity singletons Chloe, 35, and Olympic gymnast Claudia, 20, will be coming down the Love Lift.
Viewers of The Only Way Is Essex will have seen last year Chloe breaking down in tears as she struggled to get over an ex.
She told Paddy she is not into Essex men now.
But Harry tried to win her over in scenes that will air on Saturday night.
He said: "I basically said, 'sorry to hear Essex guys are not working out for you. But you've not dated this one yet'.
"She grew into it as the show went on."

Implantable Ports Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Trends, Analysis, Growth, and Forecast 2017 - 2025
Global Implantable Ports Market: Snapshot
An implantable port is a soft plastic tube with a small reservoir, and is long and narrow. Implantable ports are sometimes called portacaths or subcutaneous ports. These ports are mainly used by relevant healthcare specialists to carry out chemotherapy and other drugs through the port.Implantable ports provide several advantages over traditional options, thus making them highly preferable by healthcare specialists and patients alike. Thus, an extensive use of these ports in recent times has given rise to a distinct implantable ports market.
Implantable ports come with a rubber disc at one end, and are inserted into chemotherapy patients in for administrating drugs and medicines needed during the chemotherapy procedures. The ports are kept in place until relevant treatments are completely over. The ports are highly useful when a need arises to provide direct intravenous drug supply to the patients. Apart from chemotherapy drugs, blood transfusions, intravenous fluids, and antibiotics cab also be transferred efficiently through the ports.
With increasing cases of cancer all over the world since past few decades, the global implantable ports market is growing at a highly impressive pace. This is mainly due to a high demand existing for use of the ports to treat diseases like cancer efficiently. With increasing disposable income, many patients or their kin can now afford to opt for the use of implantable ports, thereby boosting the market substantially. Also, as chemotherapy is notably toxic in nature, it is best provided with the help of implantable ports, in order to protect skin and tissues.
The implantation procedure itself is relatively minor, and is typically performed with both local anesthesia and moderate sedation. Patients often have post-procedure discomfort at the insertion site which is most often managed by administration of acetaminophen or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen. When no longer needed, the port can be removed in the interventional radiology suite or an operating room.
Global Implantable Ports Market: Overview
Implantable ports, which are long, narrow, soft, and thin plastic tubes with a rubber disc at the end, are frequently inserted into chemotherapy patients in order to administrate drugs to individuals. Also called as portacaths or subcutaneous, the diameter of implantable ports ranges from 2.5 cm to 4 cm and are highly useful for patients receiving treatment into a vein. Blood transfusions, chemotherapy, intravenous (IV) fluids, and antibiotics can be transferred efficiently with these implantable ports, which goes a long way in easing out the treatment. With growing prevalence of cancer and other cardiovascular diseases, the demand in the global implantable ports market is anticipated to steadily expand during the forecast period of 2017 to 2025.
Global Implantable Ports Market: Key Trends
As per the estimates from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is recognized by the American Cancer Society, there will be 21.7 million new cancer cases across the World. With increasing disposable income, a significant chunk of this vast cancer population are now able to receive chemotherapy, which in turn is incrementing the demand in the global market for implantable ports.
Recent technological advancements in implantable ports have also augmented the demand significantly, with the vendors focusing on safety issues. Xcela Plus Ports from AngioDynamics comes with PASV Valve Technology and considerably reduces the complications associated with heparin use. The need for transient materials related to impregnated or coated technology has also been eliminated, which in turn is favoring the growing demand for implantable ports. On the other hand, presence of alternatives such as peripheral IV catheters (PIVCs) and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) is obstructing the market from attaining its full potential.
Based on product-type, the global implantable ports market can be segmented into single-lumen implantable ports and double-lumen implantable ports, while hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), and clinics can be the end-user segments of this market. Currently, single-lumen implantable ports and hospitals segments serve the maximum demand in the implantable ports market.
Global Implantable Ports Market: Market Potential
Side effects such as infections, clots, and blockages have been the primary obstruction as far as greater adoptability of implantable ports is concerned, but technological advanced ports have tried overcoming that factor to a certain extent. Growing usage of power-injectable ports, growing preference of disposable implantable ports, increasing demand for titanium-based implantable ports, and the presence of safety guidelines are some of the recent trends that augur well for the future of the global implantable ports market.
Global Implantable Ports Market: Regional Outlook
In terms of revenue, North America continues to be the most profitable region for the vendors operating in the global implantable ports, chiefly gaining demand from the developed country of the U.S. which has robust healthcare infrastructure, growing geriatric population, and prevalence of chronic disorders. Europe continues to serve second most demand for implantable ports, although emerging economies such as India, China, and Japan are expected to turn Asia Pacific into a lucrative region during the course of the forecast period.
Global Implantable Ports Market: Competitive Landscape
A few tier 1 companies are ahead of the curve in comparison to other tier II or tier III companies operating in the global implantable ports market. While AngioDynamics, C.R. Bard, B. Braun Melsungen, Teleflex, and Smiths Medical account for a significant share of the implantable ports market via technologically advanced products, PaKuMed medical products, Kimal, Cook Medical, Isomed, Medical Components, pfm medical, and Silvermed are some of the other key vendors in this market. Competitive pricing, enhanced safety features, convenience in use, and aggressive marketing are some of the strategies adopted by the key players to maintain their stronghold over the market.

Notes from the Journey with David – 63
63. Here I am living in a palace of wood while the ark of God remains in a tent (2 Samuel 7:2).
David's statement is absolutely noteworthy. He has built a strong kingdom reflected in the beauty of his palace. Now that the ark of God has come to him, he realizes that he has built his kingdom without thought to building for God. Why do leaders feel they must build for themselves first–then plan to honor God after they have won their battles? David's reflective question is admirable and will lead him to prepare for his son's ultimate temple-building effort.

Survivor Horrors3 min read
From Sand and Ash by Amy Harmon is a novel of love, pain, and suffering during WWII in German-occupied Italy. Even though WWII seems far removed from the present-day world, even though it seems that nothing more can be said about this struggle, this novel manages to provide new information and a new twist on an event many of us, baby boomers, are tired of contemplating. To think that way is selfish and doesn't acknowledge later generations have not suffered such a constant bombardment of information. If we were never to revisit some of the stories, we would forget some of the horrors described in this work. Other events in this novel may surprise those who thought they knew it all.
Sand and ash are important components in making glass bottles, such as those needed for wine. Eva's father, lost during a rescue attempt of a brother in Austria, built an industry and established the family fortune by making bottles used by wine producers. Thinking of the two components as base elements that are products of war as well as in earlier times the foundation of a prosperous family creates interesting mental contrasts and leads to larger philosophical and moral questions appearing elsewhere in the novel.
One broad context in the novel is the romantic story of Eva and Angelo. I am no fan of romantic novels, so it is difficult for me to make a comparison and state this is superior to other romantic novels. It is interesting. The twists and turns of the romantic element itself are exhausting. I leave it to the reader to see what I mean. I would never read a novel devoted entirely to romance that strung out the romantic elements so long.
This is a novel of war with at least one element that may be unfamiliar to many. It is generally known that Italy was an ally of Germany. Italy burst on to the pages of WWII consciousness prior to the full-scale war when Italy invaded Ethiopia. Italy's bombing of one town, Guernica, brought Italy's growing martial intent to the attention of the world. Germany was paying attention. Germany had trained the Italians in the Blitzkrieg tactics Germany would later use so successfully. Although Italy entered the war as an ally of Germany, Hitler never held Mussolini in much esteem as an ally, even less so when Italy quit and surrendered to the Americans. That did not end the war for the Italians. Germany invaded Italy and began to treat Italians, particularly Italian soldiers, as enemy combatants. Italian soldiers abandoned their uniforms and joined others who felt a need to flee German "justice," such as Jews.
More than anything else, this is a novel of personal religious struggle. Eva is a Jew, Angelo is not only a Christian but a Catholic priest. His religion will not allow the romantic involvement that he wants, even though on an unconscious level, with Eva. In the backdrop of war, with the German program of extermination of Jews advancing in its complexity and totality, Eva, a Jew hiding in plain sight, and Angelo, a Christian resistance fighter hiding and evacuating as many Jews as possible, play out their personal religious conflicts. Each of the two romantics reveals details of their faith that were new to me. Neither a fan of romance nor religious discourse, I remain fascinated by this story.
The Author's Note section is worth reading. The author mentions which of the atrocities described are real. She also mentions which characters are real as well as what names are actual. This is a valuable addition to the collection of stories that assure us we will not forget horrors of the past. I gave this five Amazon stars as thanks for the research done and the story well told.

Whether you want to be a professional singer, voice actor. Podcaster, you need to invest in the right microphone. If you're wondering what is the best type of microphone for recording vocals, then you've found the right page.
You must realise that in order for you to find the right mic, you've to understand the following factors. This way, you'll get the most for your money. You don't want to end up buying an expensive microphone that doesn't do justice to your voice. So these factors are really important things to consider before you purchase a new microphone.
Not all microphones that suit your budget will be the right choice. However, it's always better to decide how much money you're willing to spend on a professional microphone.
The good thing is that there are a lot of new brands releasing high-quality microphones at a lower price. Some of them are really cheap yet still sound great enough for beginners. Some can even pass as professional microphones. It's okay to buy cheap microphones if you're not going to use them too often or if you're just starting with your home studio.
Before you choose the brand, you should choose what type of microphone will work best for you. There are typically only 3 kinds of mics for vocals. New advancements in technology have resulted in another type becoming available.
If you want a durable type of microphone, go for a dynamics mic. These are made to withstand wear and abuse, allowing them to last for years. they're less sensitive than other types. Are better at rejecting the background noise of the environment. That's why they're often used on stage by pop and rock singers. they're also great for recording voiceovers.
This type is more sensitive than dynamic mics, capturing soft or low sounds to produce clear audio. They tend to be faster in capturing sounds too. If there is a major drawback with condenser mics it'd be the need for external power sources like a battery or a phantom power. Because of that, they cost more than dynamic mics.
Condenser microphones are great for either singing or speaking as they can capture your voice more accurately. This way, you'll be able to notice your mistakes and correct them.
Many people say that this isn't a new category of a microphone since most USB mics are condenser mics. Either way, this mic has made recording a breeze by eliminating the need for a battery and a separate AD converter.
It connects to a computer which can operate as your audio mixer, equalizer and the actual source of power. If you love uploading videos of your recordings, this is definitely the mic to choose.
Though ribbon mics were more popular during the time of radio broadcasting, they're not yet past their prime. In fact, newer models are desired by those who want to add a vintage feel to their voice. If you like reviving old songs, a ribbon mic is worth investing in. Just be ready to pay the expensive price.
As well as than knowing what's the best type of microphone for recording vocals, it's also important to know what accessories you should've in your studio.
You could buy a computer dedicated only to recording audio. It'll be really expensive. Again, if you're just starting and testing the waters, use the laptop that you already have for now.
You'll need some software for recording, editing and mixing your music and vocals on your computer. This is called a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) while the thing that connects the computer with your other recording equipment is called an Audio Interface.
A single pair of headphones is enough for a home studio since you're recording by yourself. Two of the standard designs to consider are closed back and open back headphones. The first type lets you hear isolated sound for tracking while the second one lets you hear high-quality sound for mixing.

Auburn's tough road test at Georgia
AUBURN, Ala. (auburntigers.com) – The No. 2 Auburn equestrian team returns to competition Friday, Nov. 11, and travels to No. 4 Georgia for a tough Southeastern Conference matchup. The Tigers and the Bulldogs are set to square off at 12 p.m. CTat the UGA Equestrian Complex in Bishop, Ga.
"All the Southeastern Conference meets are super tough and always big battles," head coach Greg Williams said. "Getting a win is a large order when you're on the road in this sport. Friday is going to be a great test for us and we're feeling really good. Our practices have been good over the last couple weeks and I believe we're ready to go."
Auburn's (3-1) lineup boasts experienced upperclassmen as the Tigers look to come away from their rival with a win.
In Equitation Over Fences, Auburn will be guided by senior Ashley Foster. The Brookeville, Md., product is a perfect 5-0 on the season in the event. Sophomores Ashton Alexander, Caitlin Boyle, and Hayley Iannotti will join her, while freshman Summer Hill makes an appearance in the lineup for the Tigers.
Alexander, Boyle, Foster, and Iannotti will also represent Auburn in Equitation on the Flat. Senior Tory Hoft is set to compete in the event and enters the weekend with a 4-1 mark on Flat.
The Western crew will open competition in Horsemanship and will be led by senior Hannah Stephens and sophomores Lauren Diaz and Megan Rauh. Freshman Kara Kaufmann also secured a spot in the lineup, having an unblemished record of 4-0 in the event this season. Making her first start in SEC play is freshman Cydney Benes.
The Reining corps features an experienced crew with junior Alexa Rivard at the helm. Sophomores Betsy Brown, Ali Fratessa, and Blair McFarlin will also compete for the Tigers with Kaufmann joining the lineup.
The Tigers continue to hold the No. 2 spot in the most recent NCEA poll.
Texas A&M stands at No. 1, while Baylor moved up to No. 3. Georgia ranks fourth and SMU rounds out the top five. Oklahoma State, Fresno State, South Carolina, TCU, and New Mexico State are in spots 6-10.
Georgia leads the all-time series with a 21-11 overall mark over the Tigers in dual competition. The Bulldogs hold a 11-2 record against Auburn in meets competed in Georgia.
Auburn had a successful season last year against the Bulldogs, defeating UGA in all three meetings. The Tigers picked up just their second-ever win in Bishop last spring, while also defeating UGA in the SEC Championship final held at the UGA Equestrian Complex.
The 2016-17 season marks the 15th year of varsity equestrian at Auburn. Head coach Greg Williams has guided the Tigers since the program was recognized by the Athletics Department and has amassed an impressive 121-49 overall record.
In 14 years, Auburn has earned four NCEA Championships (2006, 2011, 2013, 2016), one Southeastern Conference title (2016), three Southern Equestrian Conference crowns (2004, 2010, 2011) and three NCEA Hunt Seat championships (2008, 2011, 2013).
Individually, Auburn boasts 41 All-Americans and 34 All-SEC selections. The Southeastern Conference first began sponsoring equestrian in 2012-13.
Auburn returns to The Plains for another SEC meet, hosting No. 7 South Carolina at the Auburn University Horse Center, Nov. 18. The Tigers and the Gamecocks will face off at 3 p.m. CT.

At first, an interest only loan, or even IO, would seem to be the ideal low interest loan; for a period of five or ten years, you pay nothing but interest expenses (which, on a a low interest rate loan, can be almost nothing in comparison with traditional mortgages), therefore lowering your payments and making it possible to purchase a more costly house than you would have been able to pay for, otherwise. But why don't we stop just a moment and see whether this particular low interest loan is really all it's cracked as much as be.
The thing about a mortgage payment is that you possess two figures you happen to be dealing with; first, the cost of the house; second, the price of the interest. Traditional mortgage loans start off as mainly interest with a little part of your monthly premiums going towards decreasing principle–that is, the cost of the house–but as the principle is actually gradually lowered, the particular amount of interest you're having to pay each month begins to decrease, so that more of your own payment goes towards principle. The result is a type of snowball effect which, especially with fixed rate mortgages, pays off your home within slow but constant segments; no unpleasant shocks, no impolite surprises.
With an interest just loan, however, you're spending only interest for your first five to ten a long time. That tiny bit regarding payment on principle (which gradually increases to a large transaction on principle as increasing numbers of of the principle pays off and interest rates become smaller) will be missing–which leads to a short term acquire, but, perhaps, a lasting loss. Because, the truth is, at the end of those five years, *you still have the entire payment to make*, only now you've got only 25 years in order to spread payments above, rather than 30 or perhaps 35 years. This is bad news for most property owners, even if you have a low interest rate loan. This means a huge jump in payments, and it need to cause most people to believe long and hard about whether or not this kind of loan, low interest loan or not, is right for them.
