The shakuhachi (尺八) is a Japanese end-blown flute, which is held vertically like a recorder, instead of transversely like the Western transverse flute. Its name means "1.8 foot (shaku)," the length of a basic shakuhachi, but shakuhachi vary in length from about 1.3 shaku up to 3.3 shaku. The longer the shakuhachi, the lower its tuning. Shakuhachi are usually made from the root end of a bamboo culm, but versions now exist in wood and plastic. The five finger holes are tuned to a pentatonic scale with no half-tones, and the player can bend each pitch as much as a whole tone or more, using techniques called meri and kari, in which the blowing angle is adjusted to bend the pitch downward and upward, respectively.
As early as the thirteenth century, the shakuhachi was used by the monks of the Fuke sect of Zen Buddhism in the practice of suizen (blowing meditation). The monks of Fuke, known as komusō ("priests of nothingness"), wandered throughout Japan playing the shakuhachi and seeking alms until the sect was dissolved during the Meiji Restoration. Honkyoku (本曲, "original pieces") is a repertoire of the pieces originally played by the Fuke monks. The soulful sound of the shakuhachi made it popular in Western pop and jazz music.
The name shakuhachi (shaku-hachi) means "1.8 foot," referring to the length of the instrument. It is a compound of two words:
hachi, 八, means "eight," here eight sun, or tenths, of a shaku.
Thus, "shaku-hachi" means "one foot eight" (almost 55 centimeters), the standard length of a shakuhachi. Other shakuhachi vary in length from about 1.3 shaku up to 3.3 shaku (the longer the shakuhachi, the lower its tuning). Although the sizes differ, they are all still referred to generically as "shakuhachi."
A recorder player blows into a duct, also called "fipple," and thus has limited pitch control. The shakuhachi player blows as one would blow across the top of an empty bottle, but the opposite side of the shakuhachi has a sharp edge, allowing the player substantial pitch control. The five finger holes are tuned to a pentatonic scale with no half-tones, but the player can bend each pitch as much as a whole tone or more, using techniques called meri and kari, in which the blowing angle is adjusted to bend the pitch downward and upward, respectively. Pitches may also be lowered by shading or partially covering finger holes. Since most pitches can be achieved via several different fingering or blowing techniques on the shakuhachi, the timbre of each possibility is taken into account when composing or playing. The shakuhachi has a range of two full octaves (the lower is called otsu, the upper, kan) and a partial third octave (tai-kan). The different octaves are produced using subtle variations of breath and embouchure.
A 1.8 shakuhachi produces D4 (D above Middle C, 293.66Hz) as its base note—the note it produces with all five finger holes covered, and a normal blowing angle. In contrast, a 2.4 shakuhachi has a base note of A3 (A below Middle C, 220Hz). As the length increases, the spacing of the finger holes also increases, stretching both fingers and technique. Longer flutes often have offset finger holes, and very long flutes are almost always custom made to suit individual players. Many of the honkyoku, in particular, are intended to be played on these longer flutes to achieve the appropriate feeling.
Much of the shakuhachi's subtlety (and display of the player's skill) lies in its rich tone coloring, and the ability for its variation. Different fingerings, embouchures and amounts of meri can produce notes of the same pitch, but with subtle or dramatic differences in the tone coloring. The honkyoku pieces rely heavily on this aspect of the instrument to enhance their subtlety and depth.
Shakuhachi are usually made from the root end of a bamboo culm and are extremely versatile instruments. Holes can be covered partially (1/3 covered, 1/2, 2/3, etc.) and pitch varied subtly or substantially by changing the blowing angle. Professional players can produce virtually any pitch they wish from the instrument, and play a wide repertoire of original Zen music, ensemble music with koto, biwa and shamisen, folk music, jazz, and other modern pieces.
Due to the skill required, the time involved, and the range of quality in materials to craft bamboo shakuhachi, one can expect to pay from US$ 500 to US$ 5,000 for a new or used flute. Because each piece of bamboo is unique, shakuhachi cannot be mass-produced, and craftsmen must spend much time finding the correct bore shape for each individual flute to result in the correct pitch over all notes. Specimens of extremely high quality, with valuable inlays, or of historical significance can fetch US$ 10,000 or more. Plastic or PVC shakuhachi have some advantages over their traditional bamboo counterparts: They are extremely durable, nearly impervious to heat and cold, and typically cost less than US$ 100. Shakuhachi made of wood are also available, typically costing less than bamboo but more than synthetic materials. Nearly all players, however, prefer bamboo, citing tonal qualities, aesthetics, and tradition.
The bamboo flute first came with gagaku music to Japan from China via Korea. The shakuhachi proper, however, is quite distinct from its continental ancestors, the result of centuries of isolated evolution in Japan.
Around the tenth century, four Chinese monks were invited to teach the xiao, an ancestor of the shakuhachi, to Japanese monks, and it slowly began to attracted interest. During the medieval period, shakuhachi were most notable for their role in the Fuke sect of Rinzai Zen Buddhist monks, known as komusō ("priests of nothingness"), who used the shakuhachi as a spiritual tool. Their songs (called "koten honkyoku") were paced according to the players' breathing and were played as a form of meditation (suizen).
During the Edo period (1615-1868), the shakuhachi underwent major changes. Until then it had been a thin and long flute, similar to the Chinese xiao. During the seventeenth century, shakuhachi makers started to use a thicker bamboo found in the mountains of Japan's southern island of Kyushu, maintaining its original 5 holes. Instead of having a straight flute, four rows of the bamboo roots were used at the bottom of the flute, and the embouchure became larger.
Travel around medieval Japan was restricted by the shogunate, but the Fuke sect obtained an exemption from the Shogun, since their spiritual practice required them to move from place to place playing the shakuhachi and begging for alms (one famous song reflects this mendicant tradition, "hi fu mi hachi gaeshi," "one two three pass the alms bowl"). They persuaded the Shogun to give them "exclusive rights" to play the instrument. In return, some were required to spy for the shogunate, and the Shogun also sent his own spies out in the guise of Fuke monks. (This was made easier by the wicker baskets that the Fuke wore over their heads, a symbol of their detachment from the world.) Several particularly difficult honkyoku pieces became well-known as "tests;" if the monk could play them, he was a real Fuke (shika no tone). If he couldn't, he was probably a spy and might be executed if he were in unfriendly territory.
When the shogunate was abolished during the Meiji Restoration (1868), the Fuke sect was also dissolved because many undesirable people were posing as Fuke mendicants. The playing of the shakuhachi was officially forbidden for several years. This did not have much effect on non-Fuke folk traditions, since the tunes could be played just as easily on another pentatonic instrument. However, the honkyoku repertoire was known exclusively to the Fuke sect and transmitted by repetition and practice, and much of it was lost, along with many important documents.
When the Meiji government did permit the playing of shakuhachi again, it was only in ensembles accompanying the koto and shamisen. It was not until later that honkyoku were allowed to be played publicly again as solo pieces.
Honkyoku (本曲, "original pieces") are the pieces of shakuhachi or hocchiku music played by mendicant monks of the Fuke Zen sect (komusō). Komusō played honkyoku as a form of meditation and to solicit alms as early as the Muromachi period (1138-1573 C.E.). Honkyoku is the practice of suizen ("blowing Zen"). A verbal and written lineage of many honkyoku continues today, though the music is now often practiced in a concert or performance setting. There are many schools (ryū) , or schools, of honkyoku, each with its own style, emphasis, and teaching methods.
At one time, the Fuke sect consisted of over one hundred temples throughout Japan. During the eighteenth century, a high ranking komusō named Kinko Kurosawa was commissioned by the Ichigetsu-Ji Fuke Temple to travel to the various other temples to collect honkyoku pieces. Kinko spent three years on the road and collected and revised a repertoire of 36 pieces, now known as "Kinko Ryu Honkyoku." The 36 pieces of the Kinko Ryū Honkyoku repertoire as currently played were significantly changed and codified by later generations, including Miura Kindo and others.
Watazumi Doso (海童道祖) "Roshi" (1910-December 14, 1992), a master of the end-blown Japanese bamboo flute who attained the title of roshi in the school of Rinzai Zen, assembled the Dokyoku Honkyoku repertoire of pieces during the 1950s. Watazumi played the un-lacquered hocchiku, in contrast to the modern shakuhachi, stressing that to truly understand nature and oneself, one had to use an instrument of the most raw and natural origin. This belief inspired him to create and lead the Watazumi-do ("Way of Watazumi") school of spiritual discipline. He frequently performed on large bass instruments. Watazumi was also referred to as Watazumi-do Shuso (also spelled Watazumido Shuso or Watazumido-Shuso), "shuso" meaning "head student," a Zen term referring to the student selected by the Zen master to instruct the other students.
New recordings of shakuhachi music are relatively plentiful, especially on Japanese labels and increasingly in North America, Europe, and Australia. Although the instrument is sometimes considered quaint and outdated in Japan, it is experiencing growing popularity overseas.
The primary genres of shakuhachi music are:
The sound of the shakuhachi is also featured in western genres of music, from electronica to pop-rock to jazz music, especially after being commonly shipped as a "preset" instrument on various synthesizers and keyboards beginning in the 1980s.

Based on a true story and written by Hannah Howe, author of the Amazon #1 Sam Smith Mystery Series, Saving Grace, "the courtroom drama of the year."
The Western Mail
2 August 1876
Sensation in the Charles Petrie Case!
Readers may recall that a young banker, by name Mr Charles Petrie, with every opportunity of succeeding in his profession, and commanding a not illiberal income, returned home after riding his horse to dine with his wife, Grace, and her companion, Mrs Quinn. During and after dinner he had nothing to excite him save the receipt of a letter which somewhat annoyed him, and that his wife consumed rather more wine than he considered to be good for her health. Immediately after retiring to his room he was seized with symptoms of irritant poisoning, and despite every effort made on his behalf, he succumbed to its effects. An inquest was held, which vexed the minds of the Coroner's jury to a degree without precedent in Coroners' Inquest Law, and an open verdict was returned. However, the matter will not rest there, for after questions in Parliament, a second inquest has been called under suspicion that Mr Charles Petrie was murdered.
* * *
Who poisoned Charles Petrie? Dr James Collymore, a man familiar with poisons, a man harbouring a dark secret that, if exposed, would ruin his career; Florrie, the maid who supplied Charles with his bedtime drink; Bert Kemp, a disgruntled groom, who used poisons in his work, who four months previously had predicted Charles' dying day; Mrs Jennet Quinn, a lady's companion with a deep knowledge of poisons, and a deep fear of dismissal; or Grace Petrie, Charles' wife of four months, a woman with a scandalous past, a woman shunned by polite society.
With crowds flocking to the courtroom and the shadow of suspicion falling upon Grace in the shape of the hangman's noose, could dashing young advocate, Daniel Morgan, save her?

Media monitoring companies are jockeying to reposition themselves as branded content suppliers through licensing agreements that help customers secure media assets for use on their own properties.
Traditionally, brands have used media monitoring for reasons ranging from staying on top of trends and issues to identifying media outlets, reporters, and third-party experts who are most receptive to certain types of stories. Others have used them to show ROI from a publicity campaign.
Now, media monitoring firms are trying to get out in front of the branded content trend.
They predict media monitoring will become an important tool for helping brands identify and secure content, such as a magazine article or a TV news segment about them, which could then be posted on social media pages, thereby extending the reach of a placement.
One staple firm in the space, BurrellesLuce has a copyright compliance program, which it is now making available to other media monitoring companies, says Johna Burke, EVP of BurrellesLuce.
"We want to see PR professionals using it in a compliant way, and we have the infrastructure to facilitate that no matter what company they're using for monitoring," she says. "We feel it has become an essential component of PR in this digital age."
Peter Granat, CEO of Cision North America, agrees that "compliance and licensing will be an important part of the business model. Our end-customers just want simplicity in getting access to the content."
"For them, it is about how to elevate a brand story by using other people's content," he adds.
Critical Mention's sister platform, Clip Syndicate, has licensing relationships with 30% of broadcasters in the US. The agreement allows its consumers to take video assets from those outlets and post them on their websites and social streams, says Dave Armon, president of Critical Mention.
Tire giant Goodyear, for instance, recently featured a video channel with licensed stories from TV news stations on its Goodyear Blimp website. Most of the news stories feature TV reporters taking a ride inside the blimp, content that Critical Mention helped Goodyear secure.
"This is the beginning of a content marketing business for us," says Armon.
The promise of the growing branded content trend, which often begins with using content from traditional media, is a good thing for media monitoring companies, which have moved aggressively in recent years into the monitoring of online and social media.
Just over a year ago, Cision sold its US print monitoring assets, which were in decline, to BurrellesLuce. Cision still delivers traditional print monitoring thanks to strategic partnerships, but Granat says it has become a niche service.
"Print is still so important for customer segments such as fashion, beauty and travel, and lifestyle [where seeing the article visually is as important as reading the text], but the business is much smaller than it was just a few years ago," adds Granat.
Cision has invested in online and social, but he says the firm is not looking to become a digital and social media monitoring player because it is a crowded category with both low-end and high-end offerings. Rather, his firm is focused on tracking content, regardless of where it lives.
"We've seen double-digit increases in all things electronic, but we really view all of it as content whether it's on social media, traditional media, or micro-media such as Twitter," explains Granat.
Vocus, another firm that offers media monitoring services, has software for PR professionals and businesses that integrates social media monitoring and traditional coverage.
Mark Gambill, who joined Vocus as CMO earlier this month from The Home Depot, where he was VP of integrated media and marketing, explains that his firm is looking to help companies better understand the media environment.
"More social channels are becoming an integral part of how customers interact with businesses and one another, so it is very important that we provide insights and guidance into how social media can complement traditional media efforts and activities," he adds.
Moving forward, Gambill says Vocus is keen on providing media monitoring services that help customers understand the connections between paid, earned, and owned media.
The agency viewpoint
PRWeek also interviewed a number of research heads at PR firms, who spoke about the impact digital has had on their approach to media monitoring.
Alan Chumley, SVP of research and analytics at FleishmanHillard, predicts that traditional and social media will soon be monitored in similar ways. Just as a blog post about a company may generate a lot of comments, so too can a story on The New York Times website, which invites reader commentary.
"Increasingly, a lot of traditional media is starting to look, feel, and behave like social media; it has become a two-way dialogue even with traditional media," says Chumley. "A story may be broken via an in-depth investigative piece in The Washington Post, goes social very quickly, and weaves back and forth every day."
He adds that "this whole traditional-versus-social issue is almost silly. They are very different in some ways, but increasingly they hit toward the same middle," he adds.
Given the complexity of the media environment, agency executives agree that media monitoring remains important to their businesses because they rely on the data to make insights on behalf of clients.
They all use a mix of vendors – no one who spoke to PRWeek on the topic said they have a complete in-house solution for media monitoring – although they do sometimes have to address gaps in coverage.
Joe Crisci, SVP and MD at Global Strategy Group, points out that paywalls are a challenge for monitoring companies because they can prevent software from finding stories.
"What we sometimes do to backstop that is perform manual scrapes of the sites themselves on our end," he explains.
To address this issue, media monitoring companies say they strike partnerships with publishers that have paywalled sites.
Margot Savell, SVP and head of global measurement at Hill+Knowlton Strategies, says a challenge for PR firms is determining the best mix of media monitoring offerings. There is no one magic bullet, she explains, despite what some providers might say.
"There are more and more channels where brands and services are being discussed, and so there are more channels to monitor," says Savell. "So there really isn't a cookie-cutter way to monitor. Today, it needs to be customized to each company's business goals and communications objectives."
This story was updated on August 27 to correct information about Critical Mention. Its sister platform, Clip Syndicate, has licensing relationships with 30% of broadcasters in the US.

RAW Story: Groups call for arrest of West Virginia mine CEO
April 12, 2010- A coalition of NGOs who say they are fighting against the influence of the US Chamber of Commerce has called for the arrest of Don Blankenship, the CEO responsible for the West Virginia mine where 29 workers lost their lives last week.
In a press release on Monday, StopTheChamber.com said Blankenship was "as criminally culpable as any mass murderer" for the disaster at the Upper Big Branch mine in Montcoal, West Virginia, because he had systematically worked to avoid safety regulations.
"This was not an accident, but rather the result of deliberate and intentional decisions and actions of Don Blankenship, a director of the United States Chamber of Commerce," said Kevin Zeese, a founder of the liberal-oriented Velvet Revolution, which runs the StopTheChamber.com site.
"Blankenship, with the lobbying arm of the Chamber to back him up, has thumbed his nose at the Mine Safety and Health Administration, ignoring or appealing every violation, including the scores that resulted in coal mine evacuations and the hundreds of other serious violations," Zeese said in a statement.
Zeese added, "As the Washington Post pointed out in a Saturday editorial, these 29 deaths would not have occurred absent this intentional conduct of Blankenship. He is just as criminally culpable as any mass murderer."
On Friday, the New York Times reported that the mining industry has been able to skirt around an enhanced safety law from 2006 by filing multiple appeals against safety violation citations.

If you don't pay attention to the color, your place might look like a sore in the eye so as much as you can, the colors should be well coordinated.
Lastly, the design must also be simple yet functional most especially if you are getting a sofa for your home. If you don't want your sofa to ruin the overall look of your place, you must also make sure that the design goes well with your other fixtures to make sure that it will make a perfect addition to your sala set.
For one of the best sofas for your place, Chesterfield Sofa Company is the best option for you because their products are not only trendy but are of high quality as well.

Charlotte King, Cross Country Magazine's news editor successfully flew from Kilimanjaro on 27 September 2017 - becoming the first British lady to achieve this amazing feat!
She was part of the September 2017 expedition organised by Paraglide Kilimanjaro. All pilots on the trip successfully flew from the summit - a 100% success rate!
Charlie as she is fondly known in the paragliding community, chose to fly off with a BGD Echo XS paraglider offering easy handling along with an ultralight harness, the Sky Paragliders Sky Crux. Her Syride Sys'nav offered the needed navigation assistance and she beautifully captured the moment with her GoPro Hero!
We just had to put some fitting music to the video, and felt the amazing music by ThePianoGuys & Alex Boye (www.thepianoguys.com) sums up of the strong feelings you encounter when flying from the capstone of Africa. Thank you for allowing us to use a snippet of your work Mark & ThePianoGuys team!

Rest as needed between sets. If a set requires interruption, make as minor a weight adjustment as possible prior to the next. When scheme is listed as "3 x 5″, it always refers to "Sets" x "Reps". Reminder: Position and organized execution always govern weight, and "locked out" always includes a stop of motion.

Almond cookies!! 🙂
Chinese New Year is quite a celebration for the Chinese in Singapore. We usually visit our relatives, gather with friends, gorge ourselves (silly) with food . LOL!
Many Chinese around the world celebrate the CNY differently. And of course, the food and snacks to be prepared are quite different too! For Singapore and Malaysia, one of the staple snacks would be pineapple tarts!
The next favourite for me would be either almond cookie or peanut cookie.
During my childhood days, the almond cookie has been affectionately known as 杏仁饼 and this name does bring back some warm memories of the old days 🙂
While I love melty peanut cookie, for almond cookie, I love those with a slight crunch and then melts inside the mouth! 😉
Each year, whenever possible, I'll try to make some cookies and snacks. I thought I wouldn't have time to make CNY cookies this year. It was quite a challenge to bake cookies with the baby – she just kept crying while I was rolling the cookie dough lol!
Almond Cookies 杏仁饼
- 100 g ground almonds
- 150 g plain flour
- 100 g caster sugar
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- pinch salt
- 100 ml corn oil
- Diced almonds, optional
Egg Wash
- 1 egg yolk + 1 tsp milk, beaten and strained
- Sift flour, caster sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into bowl.
- Add the ground almonds to the flour/sugar mixture.
- Add corn oil by batches into the bowl containing the flour/sugar/almonds. Mix until a cohesive dough forms.
- Preheat the oven to 180'C.
- Roll the dough into balls. You might need to "squeeze" the dough to make it compact. Place balls of dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- You can slightly flatten the top of the dough, make a pattern indentation using a mold if you wish. Alternatively, you can sprinkle some diced almond on top after the egg wash step below.
- Lightly glaze the tops of the cookie balls with the egg wash.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the cookies become slightly golden.
- Leave to cool completely on a wire rack. Store into air-tight container.

Stremmel Gallery is pleased to present Robert Brady's "Mined of My Own," an exhibition of new works, opening on June 16 and continuing through July 30, 2016. This will mark Stremmel Gallery's eighth exhibition featuring the Nevada-born artist. The show will include mixed media paintings, sculpture, ceramics, and works on paper. The opening reception will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Thursday, June 16, 2016, and is free to the public.
Born in Reno, Brady often names his works after his experiences and discoveries in remote and familiar parts of the Silver State.
"In Nevada, the mining process often references discovery and extraction from the ground," Brady says. "It's a good metaphor for what we all do when it comes to pulling from our conscious and unconscious minds, developing ideas, drawing from what we know and what we have experienced.
"I don't often develop an idea linearly," Brady says. "Instead, I move in a circle, picking up, discarding, and eventually retracing the path of seeing and finding anew. I am not interested in squeezing all I can from an idea. I like variety and change. I will knowingly and unknowingly borrow from any source, even my own history to inform what may seem new."
Brady has rigorously explored figurative abstraction for over 40 years. Prolific and versatile, his unique style and imagery represents the morphing of a personal lexicon of graphic symbols with color, revealing a whimsical sense of humor, energetic process, and primitive mixture of materials. Deeply engaged in abstraction, Brady is able to provide viewers with a plethora of figurative and representational handholds: faces, tools, and architectural details. His references to artifacts, equipment, pictographs, and tribal art resonate strongly.
Brady earned his BFA at the California College of Arts and Crafts in 1969, and an MFA at the University of California, Davis in 1975. His artwork is featured in several major public and private collections in the United States, including the de Young Fine Art Museum in San Francisco, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Smithsonian.
For more information, or to schedule a private viewing of Robert Brady's "Mined of My Own," please call Stremmel Gallery at 775-786-0558. Please visit www.stremmelgallery.com for more information. High-resolution images are available upon request. Stremmel Gallery is located at 1400 South Virginia Street in Reno, Nevada. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.

Naruto is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto. It tells the story of Naruto Uzumaki, an adolescent ninja who searches for recognition from his peers and the village and also dreams of becoming the Hokage, the leader of his village. The story is in two parts, the first set in Naruto's pre-teen years, and the second in his teens. The series is based on two one-shot manga by Kishimoto: Karakuri (1995), which earned Kishimoto an honorable mention in Shueisha's monthly Hop Step Award the following year, and Naruto (1997).
Naruto was serialized in Shueisha's magazine, Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1999 to 2014, and released in tankōbon (book) form in 72 volumes. The manga was adapted into an anime television series produced by Studio Pierrot and Aniplex, which broadcast 220 episodes in Japan from 2002 to 2007; the English adaptation of the series aired on Cartoon Network from 2005 to 2009. Naruto: Shippuden, a sequel to the original series, premiered in Japan in 2007, and ended in 2017, after 500 episodes.
The English adaptation was broadcast on Disney XD from 2009 to 2011, and then switched to Adult Swim's Toonami block in January 2014. Besides the anime series, Studio Pierrot has developed eleven movies and eleven original video animations (OVAs). Other Naruto-related merchandise includes light novels, video games, and trading cards developed by several companies.
Viz Media licensed the manga and anime for North American production and serialized Naruto in their digital Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. The anime series began airing in the United States and Canada in 2005, and in the United Kingdom and Australia in 2006 and 2007, respectively. The films and most OVAs from the series were also released by Viz, with the first film premiering in movie theaters. Viz Media began streaming the two anime series on their streaming service Neon Alley in December 2012. The story of Naruto continues with Naruto's son, Boruto Uzumaki, in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations: Boruto wishes to create his own ninja way instead of following his father's.
As of 2017, Naruto is the third best-selling manga series in history, selling more than 220 million copies worldwide in 35 countries outside Japan.(source wiki)[amazon_link asins='B079NBV4FY,1569319006,B0198KU5KM,B071LP92GM,1591161878,142153990X,B00AAXOOXG' template='ProductCarousel' store='zohecouk-21′ marketplace='UK' link_id='f2cd333c-2129-11e8-af02-4bd5d98a02df']
