![]() ![]() You need to immerse yourself in this world of sounds. I think this is the solution to your problem because finally you'll be studying the sounds in a musical way, through beautiful songs and melodies that were specifically designed to train your ear.Īnd this exercise becomes a hundred times more powerful if you combine it with the IFR improvisation exercises like Seven Worlds. This is exactly what we do in our Sing the Numbers audio course. ![]() What you need to do is go into the world of music and discover the notes of our musical system in the context of actual melodies. ![]() You don't need more random interval exercises. You know the sound by heart, but nobody ever told you that the sound is called "note 5".Īnd this is exactly what you need. What that means is that you already know the sound of note 5 perfectly, and you can recall it whenever you want to. When you imagine the beginning to this song, you can hear this note in your mind. For example, let's say that the melody starts on note 5. I suspect that if you think about your favorite song right now, you can clearly imagine the sound of every note in that song. And if somebody played a wrong note, you would never even notice. If you didn't, then all melodies would sound alike to you. The truth is that you already recognize every note in every song you hear. The first thing to realize is that there's nothing wrong with your ear. But I still can't recognize any of these sounds in an actual musical setting like a song.Īfter many months of daily ear training, I still don't think I'm any closer to my goal of playing by ear except for being able to get better scores on tests which don't have any relevance to real music. I even purchased a separate course on scale degree recognition and after about 4 months of very intensive training I can fairly accurately recognize the major scale degrees if they are played. I strongly feel that ear training is based on natural ability and that someone without natural ability can improve a bad ear but never gain a good ear. There seem to be just two sorts of musicians: the ones who can play by ear and the ones who just can't. Homework assignments entail full or partial transcriptions of rhythmic and melodic elements, as well as exercises involving melodic solfege and rhythmic recitation designed to enhance a student's internal sense of time, pitch, and physical independence through singing or speaking of melody and rhythm in the context of its underlying essential metrical structure.I have always had a terrible ear and I feel that it's preventing me from making the most of your method. Students examine music from the perspective of musical cognition, including the potential impact of cultural background on the formation of one's mental representation and the analysis of ambiguous musical structures. In-class activity includes vocalization and rhythmic externalization exercises based on particular musical examples, general listening and aural analysis, and transcription of selected elements of a musical texture. This course focuses on a variety of rhythmic patterns, percussive ostinatos, and melodic repertoire from around the world, with an emphasis on African, Caribbean, and South American traditional and popular music, as well as South Indian classical, Balkan, and Middle Eastern genres. ![]()

The figure below shows an example for northern Vietnam. WorldPop have developed peer-reviewed spatial statistical methods, exploiting the power of machine learning, to transform and disaggregate population counts at administrative unit levels to 100x100m grid square level, exploiting relationships with spatial covariate layers from satellites and other sources. ![]() The figure below shows examples of such datasets for three countries.Īdministrative units within a country typically vary substantially in their shapes and sizes, making the consistent mapping of population distributions and densities across a country, and their integration with other datasets produced on differing spatial frameworks challenging. WorldPop works with statistics agencies, ministries of health and other organizations to construct databases of the most spatially detailed and recent population census data available, and match these to corresponding administrative boundaries. The accuracy of gridded population mapping is strongly related to the availability of contemporary and spatially detailed population census data. Gridded population maps, whereby population numbers per 100x100m grid square are estimated, represent a more consistent representation of population distributions across a landscape than administrative unit counts, as well as enabling smooth integration with multiple other gridded datasets. Census, survey, satellite, social media, cellphone and other spatial datasets are all integrated in flexible and peer-reviewed statistical methods to produce open, fully-documented and consistent gridded maps of population distributions. WorldPop develops methods to exploit and integrate the growing range of geospatial data on human populations, their demographics and factors relating to population distributions. The scarcity of mapping resources, lack of reliable validation data and difficulty in obtaining high resolution contemporary census statistics remain major obstacles to settlement and population mapping across the low income regions of the World. High-income countries often have extensive mapping resources and expertise at their disposal to create such databases, but across the low income regions of the world, relevant data are either lacking or are of poor quality. Maps of human population distributions have found use in disease burden estimation, epidemic modelling, resource allocation, disaster management, accessibility modelling, transport and city planning, poverty mapping and environmental impact assessment amongst other applications. ![]() The methods outlined below are becoming outdated and have been superseded in some places – we are working to update these based on newly published papers. Therefore, to keep up with the latest methods, we recommend visiting our publications page. A primary focus of WorldPop is ensuring that the methods developed and resulting output datasets undergo academic peer review. ![]() ![]() They were seen as sacred and magickal plants because they did not appear to die during the winter. Of course, the evergreen has special magic because it stayed green all winter long. The evergreen, like holly + mistletoe, were thought to have magical powers, guarding homes against the dark spirits of winter + honoring the gods + goddesses of nature. as sacred, holy images of the truth of the cycle of the season and eternal life. They brought them into their homes to honor + revere them. ![]() Tradition has it that ancient pagans used evergreens to celebrate the coming return of light. Bringing light + color + fragrance into their homes. A symbol that ancient people relied on to provide them something to hold onto in the hopeless, never-ending dark that surrounded them. It’s no wonder, then, that since everything around them seemed dead, bare, empty, and hopeless, the evergreen tree, standing tall + strong + green became a symbol of deep hope. But, I dare say that the ancient Celtic + Nordic folk of the north needed it more than we could possible imagine today. In the cold + dark of winter, we are in desperate need of hope. No matter how you celebrate during the winter season, these symbols are most likely found in your own traditions and rituals in one way or another.Īnd, isn’t that beautiful? Isn’t that just what we need? Symbols, traditions, and rituals that unite us? Like a deep, flowing, universal river of truth. And, amazingly, these symbols seem to be timeless and universal, stretching across countries, religions, and history. So, I’d like to share a short little guide to some of the most common ancient symbols of the winter season. And, if we skip over the meaning behind all that we do, then we miss the deepest, most hopeful part of the season.īut, if we practice our traditions + rituals with a sense of mindful awareness, if we honor the histories behind celebrations of the season, then all of the ancient symbols will give a deeper meaning to our present day holiday. It’s so easy to let the winter season come and go each year, celebrate the things we celebrate, and not even give a second thought about what all of the traditions, rituals, and symbols of the season mean. But, traditions + rituals can also begin to feel empty, if we don’t really stop and think about what or why we do what we do. ![]() And symbolism, oh how I love symbolism and myth and legend and ancient ways. However, with all of the hustle and bustle, or simply without giving it any thought and just doing what we always do, we may forget to remember what all of the ancient symbols, traditions, and rituals of the season really mean. The season of winter, with all of its sacred celebrations, is one of those times that is filled with traditions, rituals, and symbols that return year after year. ![]() Or how we want to do it because we love it.

The smoke from the factories blurs the emerging sunlight, changing the atmosphere and colours. Rather, he painted a familiar scene, which was far less romantic but much more topical. The difference between the two artists lies in the fact that Monet chose not to depict an awe-inspiring beach or cliff-side. He was inspired by the works of William Turner. However, Monet was not the first to paint sunrises and sunsets. This port is one of his favourite subjects, a true embodiment of the Industrial Revolution, which was at that point, rather recent and utterly fascinating to many artists. He was well familiar with this landscape and the industrial activity that took place there. Little did he know that this work would forever change the course of art. Monet spent only a few hours on this painting while sitting in his hotel room on the Quays of Southampton. ![]() The researchers even stated a precise date and time for its creation: Novemat 7:35 am, just thirty minutes after dawn. Thanks to their work and topographical study of tides, weather reports and celestial trajectories, we can now be sure that this is indeed a sunrise. Many studies have been carried out about this scene and historians often debate: is it rising or setting? So in 2014, the Marmottan Museum (that houses this painting) published an extensive study on the work and its date/time of execution. Sitting in the sky as a point of geometric contrast to the rest of its surroundings, it shines over the misty port. The sun is the central point of this composition, easily distinguishable by its warm colours. To drive his point home, he even called it “The Impressionists’ Exhibition”. I was also thinking, since I’m impressed, there must be some impression in there.” “What does this painting represent? Impression!

Impression, Sunrise, 1872, oil on canvas, by Claude Monet (Public domain) And yet, Impressionism will go down in history as the most illustrious art movement that influenced generations of artists to come. The choice of themes, visible brushstrokes and the relaxed representation of figures shocked the public at the time. He and his friends, Sisley, Pissarro and Renoir, among others are responsible for the conception of this anti-academic movement that started in the 1870’s. A Lasting ImpressionĬlaude Monet (1840-1926) was one of the founders of the Impressionist movement. ![]() So, without further ado, let’s dive right into it at the port of Le Havre. Impression, Sunrise is undoubtedly Claude Monet’s most famous creation but it is also the work to know from the Impressionist movement because it’s the namesake! Completed in 1873, it serves as a place holder in the history of art and set the stage for thousands of works to come. ![]() ![]() ![]() Selig announced he would shut down his app on June 30, the day before the changes were set to take effect. He had 30 days to prepare for the changes or shut down altogether. He determined that he couldn't afford to keep Apollo alive. Selig wrote in a post that Reddit is asking developers to pay $12,000 for every 50 million requests. On the call, Selig figured out that he would owe Reddit about $20 million a year. In addition to giving it compensation for using its trove of data, Reddit said the updated pricing model is "to ensure developers have the tools and information they need to continue to use Reddit safely, protect our users' privacy and security, and adhere to local regulations." The company added in a later post that it "needs to be a self-sustaining business and to do that, we can no longer subsidize commercial entities that require large-scale data use from our API."Ĭhristian Selig, who runs a popular third-party browsing app called Apollo, found out about the pricing change on May 31, when a Reddit representative called him. ![]() Reddit previously said the coming price increase for access to its API was necessary because so much of its data is being used to train artificial intelligence models being developed by tech giants like Microsoft and Google. Its more than 100,000 active subreddits, on topics from gardening to comic books, provide mounds of content catalogued by Google and other search engines. Reddit is the sixth-most-visited website in the U.S., according to data from analytics firm Semrush – behind Google, Google-owned YouTube, and Facebook, but ahead of Amazon, Twitter and Yahoo. If unresolved, the impact of a prolonged blackout could have ripple effects across the internet. Other apps widely used by Reddit members help with browsing the site and with assisting disabled users, who can find services for improved accessibility.Ĭroach told CNBC that, unlike Facebook, Twitter and Alphabet's YouTube, Reddit counts on independent developers, rather than employees, to provide essential services that make the platform operable for moderators and users. Reddit's third-party apps are popular with moderators, who use them to organize their subreddits, block spam accounts, flag unsafe posts, find patterns of harassment and abuse and communicate with their members on the go. They were also worried that the tools they use on a daily basis to run their groups may no longer be available if the creators of those services decide they can't afford Reddit's new pricing structure. The widespread protests of one of the internet's most-trafficked sites started early this week and quickly expanded to more than 8,000 subreddits, including the wildly popular r/Funny, with over 40 million members, along with r/Music and r/Science, each boasting over 30 million users.Ĭroach and his peers weren't only standing in solidarity with Reddit's outside developers. They discussed the results on Slack, and then went offline. In the preceding days, the r/Gaming moderators had run a poll indicating that users would support a shutdown. They were joining a large-scale protest against Reddit, which was about to implement a business change that would dramatically increase the price for third-party developers to use the company's application programming interface, or API.

The tilt of the slant above the accented “o” serves to create an entirely opposite effect. Brazilians, for example, figured out that accent marks could be used for a wide range of “eyebrow” emotions, like ò_ó or ó_ò. Once new language keyboards became more available to people around the world, the net began to see really interesting results. These characters come from both Finnish and Japanese. For example, the small katakana “wa” and the accented “o”s make up this kawaii face: ôヮô.

Similar to the butt cheek-shaped snot you often see in anime, using /// gave a feeling of blushing. Dashes were used to show contempt (-_-) or sleepiness. Later, when people actually wanted to get across a dead guy, they’d use “X”s, like this face: X_X.Īfter some time, netizens got more creative with their kaomoji. The use of asterisks as eyes was something that you’d really only see in Japan, and was different from the western internet standards at the time (the :-) face). Because characters and computer memory were limited, you’d often only see stuff like (*_*) and other dead-looking faces. ![]() Originally, kaomoji weren’t really meant to be cute. ![]() These special emoticons are creative faces made from text and symbols taken from multiple languages.

It is important to contact a doctor to discuss any possible side effects of medications. These conditions can include:Ĭertain medications can also cause swelling. Many different conditions cause the lymph nodes to swell, particularly the nodes in the head and neck. For example, an ear infection may cause swollen lymph nodes near the ear, while someone with an upper respiratory tract infection may notice swollen lymph nodes in their neck. The location of the swelling often relates to the affected area. The swelling occurs as a result of immune cell activity in the lymph nodes. The lymph nodes may swell when a person has an infection. Lymph nodes also contain immune cells that help fight infection by attacking the germs that the body’s lymph fluid has collected. The lymph nodes filter the fluid and release it back into the bloodstream together with salts and proteins. While doing so, it collects and traps harmful matter, such as bacteria, viruses, and bodily waste products. Lymph fluid flows in and out of the lymph nodes throughout the body before finally making its way back to the chest. The main lymph nodes that people may see or feel are found: The human body has hundreds of lymph nodes. The lymph nodes collect and filter fluids, waste materials, and harmful germs.
