New Jersey Symphony Orchestra Announces 2010-11 Season
The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra today announced its programs for the 2010-11 season of classical, Best of ..., pops and family concerts. The season, which kicks off September 14 with a Gala Opening Night Celebration featuring violinist Joshua Bell and soprano Jeanine De Bique, marks the beginning of Jacques Lacombe's tenure as the NJSO's 13th Music Director. The wide-ranging opening night program showcases Lacombe's love of music from orchestral to opera and ballet.
The 2010-11 season exemplifies the high artistic standards and thoughtful programming that have made the NJSO one of the region's cultural treasures; in addition to 12 weeks of traditional classical programs, there are four Best of ... presentations, four pops programs and three family concerts.
Lacombe said, "The excitement for this season is palpable. Over the last few months, I have immersed myself in the opportunity to shape my first season as NJSO Music Director, and I have discovered so much about the cultural richness of New Jersey. It is an honor to unveil a season full of new initiatives, magnificent classics and plenty of surprises. I cannot wait to present this fabulous music alongside our talented musicians, and I am also excited to delve into the NJSO's incredible Education and Community Engagement programs."
The Orchestra introduces many new artistic initiatives throughout its 2010-11 programs, including the New Jersey Roots Project, which celebrates composers born in or influenced by the Garden State. The season also marks the inauguration of a multi-year Winter Festival exploration entitled "Man & Nature: Exploring Elements in Music." The festival's 2011 series, "Water," launches on January 7 and features works from Claude Debussy to Tobias Picker; percussionist David Cossin performs Tan Dun's unique Water Concerto, which features the element itself as an instrument. NJSO Conductor Laureate Neeme Järvi returns to the NJSO podium during the Water-themed Winter Festival to conduct a program featuring Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake Suite, Elgar's Sea Pictures and Dvo?ák's The Water Goblin.
In a season celebrating new works, the NJSO presents Daniel Bernard Roumain's (DBR) Symphony for Dreamers, Dancers and Presidents, a Sphinx Consortium commission, and the Orchestra's three-concert Family series features the world premiere of Bruce Adolphe's Carnival of the Creatures, narrated by the composer.
The NJSO builds on its successful partnership with Opera New Jersey, presenting Madama Butterfly in collaboration with the opera company in February. The Orchestra teams with the New Jersey Performing Arts Center to present the worldwide success Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring-Howard Shore's award-winning score will be performed live by more than 200 musicians, complimented by a screening of the epic film above the stage.
In addition to highlighting several of the orchestra's own principal musicians, the season will feature an outstanding international roster of guest artists including Lang Lang, Yefim Bronfman, Vadim Gluzman, Marc-André Hamelin and Michael Feinstein.
Standard classical subscription programming continues at NJPAC in Newark, the State Theatre in New Brunswick, Richardson Auditorium in Princeton and the Community Theatre in Morristown. The NJSO's successful Best of ... series continues with four creative programs highlighting Mozart, Spanish Flair, Ballet and-this year's Winter Festival theme-Water. The NJSO presents the series at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, Patriots Theater at the War Memorial in Trenton, bergenPAC in Englewood and the Community Theatre in Morristown.
NJSO President and Chief Executive Officer André Gremillet said, "It has been a privilege to work alongside Jacques as we have crafted his first season as the Orchestra's Music Director. His passion for his new home state and country, and his desire to celebrate it, comes through in every one of the NJSO's 2010-11 concert series. I am so excited for our diverse audiences as they have this chance to become acquainted with such a natural leader and phenomenal musician.
"I am also thrilled with Jacques' commitment to education and his desire to be involved in all of the NJSO's artistic endeavors and programs. Audiences will be able to get acquainted with him during POPS, Classical, Best of ... and Family concerts."
The 2010-11 season is the NJSO's first with Music Director Jacques Lacombe. The new music director has put his own unique stamp on a season featuring innovative programs and a renewed commitment to celebrating the cultural richness of New Jersey.
The NJSO announces the New Jersey Roots Project-a multi-year commitment to performing world-class music from composers who were either born in New Jersey or whose time spent in the Garden State has significantly influenced their artistic identity. This season, the project highlights the music of Robert Aldridge (the world premiere of his Suite from Elmer Gantry, September 14), Edward T. Cone (Concerto for Violin and Small Orchestra, November 27-28; Dover Beach, January 13-16), Peter Maxwell Davies (Caroline Mathilde, June 2-5), Tobias Picker (Old and Lost Rivers, January 7-9), Behzad Ranjbaran (Seemorgh: Persian Trilogy for Orchestra, February 25-27) and Roger Sessions (The Black Maskers Suite, October 28-31).
Winter Festival odyssey-"Man & Nature: Exploring Elements in Music." From our earliest origins to the Renaissance thinkers through modern times, humankind has observed its most common and constant companion: nature. Artists of all stripes-from composers to painters, sculptors, writers and photographers-have forged those observations into a universe of works honoring nature's essential elements. Beginning with the Winter Festival 2011, the NJSO launches a multi-year odyssey through the elements, exploring the symbolic power of seemingly simple substances that have inspired composers for centuries. The opening series of this new multi-year winter festival explores the musical characteristics of water. From the rolling swells and open ocean of Claude Debussy's La Mer to the contemplative reflections of Tobias Picker's Old and Lost Rivers, water is depicted both literally and symbolically.
Week I - WATER! From the River to the Sea. Best known for his score to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, composer Tan Dun's unique Water Concerto incorporates the element as a musical instrument for a mesmerizing concert experience. Debussy captures the ever-changing moods of the ocean-serene, playful, turbulent-in La Mer, while Picker conjures a powerful sense of place in Old and Lost Rivers. January 7-9.
Week II - Best of Water. Elusive and enticing, water captures the imagination. January 13-16. See details for this program under the Best of ... heading in this release.
Week III - WATER! Fantasy & Fables. Magical fables in lakeside settings: Dvo?ák's menacing Water Goblin abducts innocent souls; Tchaikovsky's celebrated Swan Lake Suite tells a story of love and transformation. Elgar's Sea Pictures sing of the danger and allure of the ocean. January 21-23.
The Orchestra also explores the rich heritage of American music. Each NJSO series includes works by American composers like George Gershwin ("Summertime," September 14; Lullaby, November 5-7; Cuban Overture, March 17-20), Aaron Copland (Canticle of Freedom, September 24-26; El Salón México, March 17-20; Appalachian Spring, June 2-5), Leonard Bernstein (Fancy Free, June 2-5), Samuel Barber (Symphony No. 1, April 7-10), John Williams ("A Salute to John Williams," April 16-17) and Bruce Adolphe (Carnival of the Creatures, February 12).
The NJSO is one of 13 leading orchestras nationwide that comprise the Sphinx Commissioning Consortium (SCC), an initiative that highlights Black and Latino composers and encourages diversity in classical music. The Sphinx Organization, a national non-profit organization, administers the program. Lacombe leads the NJSO in the SCC's second annual commission, Haitian-American composer Daniel Bernard Roumain's Symphony for Dreamers, Dancers and Presidents. April 7-10.
Further emphasizing both the wealth of artistic talent in New Jersey and the importance of artistic collaboration, the NJSO partners with several New Jersey arts institutions. Opera New Jersey and the NJSO continue a partnership formed last year with a co-production of Puccini's Madama Butterfly in Princeton and Newark. (February 4 and 11). The Orchestra performs with the Westminster Symphonic Choir (September 24-26) and the Montclair State University Chorale and The American Boychoir (May 20-22). It presents the 14th annual UJA Benefit Concert for the United Jewish Communities of MetroWest (May 15). The NJSO also presents multiple programs in collaboration with NJPAC ("Lang Lang with Your NJSO," September 22; "Video Games Live," December 29-30; "Madama Butterfly," February 11; "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring," June 17-19) and the State Theatre ("A Salute to John Williams," April 17).

(Reuters) – Mark Cavendish said he has no immediate plans to retire after only being named in Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl’s reserves for the Tour de France.
Cavendish had said at the end of 2020 that he was considering retirement but enjoyed a remarkable return to form last year, sprinting to four stage wins at the Tour de France to equal the record of 34 set by Belgian great Eddy Merckx.
The 37-year-old made his case for selection this year after winning his second British road race title last month but Fabio Jakobsen was chosen as the Belgian team’s sprinter at the July 1-24 Tour.
“I know I’ll win again,” Cavendish told the BBC on Monday. “The only thing I regret is that I know I was in the form to win there (at the Tour de France).
“I’m in my best form for easily a decade. When you think that’s gone to waste a bit, that can be hard.
“I don’t see myself retiring, I think as long as I know I’ll win then I’ll carry on my career.”
Tuesday’s 16th stage is a 178.5-km ride from Carcassonne to Foix.

March 4, 2021 –
The coronavirus pandemic has transformed C-suites all over the world. But for the role of CHRO, the changes have been revolutionary. A new report from IMSA Search examines how the COVID-19 crisis has demanded new capabilities and duties for chief HR officers. Its conclusion: the role of CHROs shouldn’t be overestimated. “At a time when new risks and second thoughts have emerged practically overnight, these leaders have had to create a new work culture, maintain morale and empower their employees,” the IMSA report said. “And this is and will continue to be a massive task.
The CHROs who are effectively dealing with it while avoiding harming staff performance have gained not only a new set of skills but also new responsibilities and duties.” But to keep their performance at the highest level, said the IMSA Search report, CHROs must stay focused and be especially aware of changes in these key areas:
The Organizational Model
Remote work was a growing trend well before the pandemic. According to Gallup’s “State of American Workforce 2017” report, the number of people working remotely rose between 2012 and 2016 in all studied groups. A similar study from 2019 showed that 43 percent of all U.S. employees work off-site at least part of the time.
Nevertheless, COVID-19 forced leaders to create organization models based on working from home. “Social isolation has
proven that many duties may be carried out from home without harming quality or efficiency,” said the IMSA Search report. “And not all employees are missing the office. As a result, for some organizations, remote work might remain as a permanent feature. For this reason, CHROs need to develop and implement new rules.”
As Tim McElgunn noted in “HRMorning,” there are many burning questions to answer right now, said the report. “For example, how will managers translate existing work rules, meeting schedules, and communications strategies to the new reality? Who will pay for remote workers’ connectivity and any required equipment? And even more important: How should an organization build and implement a long-term employee recognition strategy for remote workers?”
Of course, not all workers will want to stay at home. “Some of them will be happy to be back in the office,” said IMSA Search. “Nevertheless, that makes the situation even more complicated. When we all shake off the pandemic shock rules, HR teams will need to create new procedures, to find a balance in new normal.”
Hiring and Talent Management
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies halted their recruitment processes, which IMSA Search board member Lizette Ibarra said was not the best choice. Now they must unfreeze their search, which poses some difficulties, especially if the company went through some fundamental changes and staff cuts.
“Headhunting was never a piece of cake,” the IMSA Search report said. “The task of a recruiter is to find a perfect talent who possesses knowledge and experience but also shares company values. The process is always complicated and time-consuming. And now it becomes even more challenging. Candidates are cautious about their choices, and post-pandemic company structures are just developing. This means that, in some cases, it may be difficult to predict who might be the best fit for the organization.”
HR executives also need to remember about top talents already working at their company. “Not only talent acquisition but also retention remains a critical task,” said IMSA Search. “Employees need to be recognized and engaged, no matter if they are working remotely or dreaming of going back to the office.”
Rebuilding a Corporate Culture ASAP
The IMSA Search report also said that if “CHROs have so far failed in preserving their business culture, they should act right now. The corporate culture needs to be rebuilt as soon as possible.”
“A well-defined organizational culture is critical for long-term success,” IMSA Search said. “This is easy to say, but how you turn
it into practice in (post)pandemic, volatile times is another matter. And as the last months have shown, culture is vulnerable in times
of crisis. With financial problems on the one hand and structural changes on the other, it is easy to put organizational values, mission and identity aside.”
Nevertheless, the COVID-19 crisis seems to have had some positive outcomes. It has forced leaders to operate in a more agile way, which will probably benefit them in the future. As Ms. Kirby said: “Business leaders now have, in some sense, been gifted
with a better idea of what can and cannot be done outside their companies’ traditional processes, and COVID-19 is forcing both the pace and scale of workplace innovation. Many are finding simpler, faster and less expensive ways to operate.”
“Agile management may be the new norm, which will promote and value human communication and feedback, adapting to change, and producing working results,” the IMSA Search report said. “The ability to identify a problem and act proactively will be the hallmark of the top talents in this industry.”


As of February, 9 2019, Environment Canada published “Order 2018-87-06-02 Amending the Non-domestic Substances List,” “Order 2019-87-01-02 Amending the Non-domestic Substances List,” and “Order 2019-87-02-02 Amending the Non-domestic Substances List.” As a result, the following substances have been removed from NDSL: CAS# 13308-51-5, 496065-19-1, 163440-95-7, 29658-26-2, 70632-12-1, 72783-16-5, 1173160-50-3and CAN 19156-4. These substances no longer require notification or are subjected to assessment requirements of the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers) and the New Substances Notification Regulations (Organisms).
Furthermore, Environment Canada issued two ministerial conditions restricting uses of phenol, methylstyrenated (CAS# 68512-30-1) as a component in epoxy-based coatings. The ministry suspects this substance of being toxic or capable of becoming toxic within the meaning of section 64 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA). Restrictions are effective as of January 8, 2019.

Circle Heaven & Square Earth
All the ancient arthitectures in China were based on the mistary Feng Shui. Feng shui, a marriage of art and science, is a practice founded in China and refined by feng shui masters through 6,000 years of development. Feng shui masters carefully map the nature and flow of energy through buildings and spaces.
In order to collecting the best luck for the owner of a building, the Feng Shui masters are always to suggest the owner to make their buildings include not only the sky but also the earth. When you have the sky and the earth at the same time, it means you have the entire universe! In ancient Chinese architecture, the circle is symbolic of the heaven and the square the earth.
Well, let me show you two pic for better understanding:

2. Which Aluminum Grade is the Best for Custom Aluminum Machining?
Which aluminum grade would be suitable for your parts production depends upon you’re size, features, and requirements of your parts. Each aluminum grade has different characteristics and is used for different purposes. I.e., some grades are good for aluminum prototype machining while others are preferred for custom aluminum casting.
If you are going to manufacture your parts by yourself, you must study the grades thoroughly to know which grade would be best for you. Or you can also contact a professional to consult and choose the best grade. In case you’re hiring manufacturers for your project, they can brief you about all the grades easily.
A few aluminum grades are as follows,
- Aluminum 6061– This is the most common and well-known aluminum alloy. Its sturdiness and good strength-to-weight ratio make it ideal for making big reliable parts. i.e., automotive parts and devices.
- Aluminum 2024– This is not a very reliable grade of aluminum because of its moderate strength and less corrosion resistance. However, it is a good choice when it comes to parts for transport vehicles and the body of aircraft.
- Aluminum 7075 –It is actually a super reliable aluminum alloy with a perfect strength to weight ratio. This grade is an ideal one for producing solid parts that can withstand a lot of pressure. However, its strength makes it a little ductile, and thus, you need to do a bit of hard work to produce parts with it.
- Aluminum 5083 – The corrosion resisting ability of this metal alloy is highly commendable. That is why it can be used for making marine devices and shinier automotive body parts.
- Aluminum 6082 –6082 is the most substantial grade in the 6000s series. It’s a good option if you need to produce parts that have good strength. No doubt that the 7000s alloys are better, but as they need a more considerable investment, so this is the best option if you don’t have a big budget. You can manufacture heavy-duty objects using this alloy, including grand bridges and towers.
- Aluminum 6063 – This aluminum alloy is a good one primarily known best for architectural uses. You can make doors, windows, and other frames related to architecture using this grade.
- Aluminum 2014 – This alloy is easy to machine and is very well-known for its strength. It is not very good at resisting corrosion. But its strength makes this alloy worth using for reliable structural components such as truck frames.
- Aluminum 2017 – It is quite a better alloy as compared to the above one (2014) in terms of machinability. Thus, you can easily make small and strong components such as rivets, fasteners, and gauges, etc., using this grade of aluminum.
These are just a few main examples of aluminum alloys. There are a lot more grades present in the market. You can choose the ones that suit your budget and the requirements perfectly.

Apparently Selena Gomez wasn't quite ready to leave the neon-splattered emotional hellscape of "Spring Breakers" just yet. The first sounds one hears on her sassy new album are an oxygen-sucking sub-bass, trap snares and a note to her fellow party nihilists that she only parties this hard on her birthday (and every day is her birthday). It's almost as good as having shorts in every color. "Stars Dance" is exactly the kind of album one makes in 2013 if you want to keep the pop sugar of the Disney tween cabal but mix in some broken glass and a club bathroom nosebleed.

Archery is a fantastic sport. One reason why the archer can have a perfect shot on his target is to have the best product and material. Below are some of the equipments, materials or products used in the field of archery.
1. The bow is the primary thing needed in archery. The only time that we understand the best bow for us is to know their parts. Knowing how to use them and how they work is also relevant. When we visit an archery shop, we can see various kinds of bow. Some of them include the unfinished bamboo backed longbow, longbows, youth longbow, custom longbows, finished longbows, medieval longbows and more. There are five main types of a bow. The five types include the longbow, bow, the crossbow, the compound bow and the short bow.
2. The bowstring is what makes the bow has its curved shape. Many bow strings are often made with synthetic fiber materials, plant fibers and animal materials. The center of the bowstring is a thread that often gives support to the arrow.
3. The next pertinent material needed in the sport is the arrow. There are so many arrow types in the market today. Some of them include the youth arrows, lacquered cedar arrow, cedar hunting arrows, cedar classic arrows, gold tip carbon arrows and a lot more.
4. The shaft is the end or the tip of the arrow. Traditional cedar arrow shafts or arrow shafts are usually made from wood. Nowadays, many people use aluminum, fiberglass, carbon and composite materials in making the arrow shaft. Wood shafts are common to beginners because of their light materials. Bow hunters and players make use of the aluminum shaft. Carbon materials maintain velocity because they are susceptible and wind resistant.
5. The point can be found on the arrowhead, and they are often made from different materials like metal and other hard materials.
6. Fletch is the material on the other end of the arrow. Most of them are often made from feathers or plastic. The purpose of the material is to keep the arrow from moving straight towards the goal.
7. The archer should also have the right clothing. One should also think of the convenience of the archer when it comes to clothing. Some of them include the tab, slings, arm guard and chest guard.
These materials are just some of the primary things needed in the sport of archery. One can start by simply buying those that are essential first and then after some time, start buying the extra equipments.

Only Alaskans pay more for medical services than Wisconsinites, according to claims data for three of the nation's largest insurance companies.
The Health Care Cost Institute
, a Washington D.C.-based nonprofit that researches and analyzes insurance claims data, studied price variations in 41 states based on claims from Aetna
. The study
found costs for 235 common treatments and examinations, referred to as "care bundles," for commercially insured patients under the age of 65 were 81 percent higher in Wisconsin than the national average.
"In New Hampshire and Wisconsin, over 20 percent of health care services are twice the national average price," the study reads.
In descending order, Alaska, Wisconsin, North Dakota, New Hampshire and Minnesota were the most expensive states to receive health care services, according to the study. The least expensive were Florida, Arizona, Maryland, Tennessee and Nevada.
HCCI Executive Director David Newman said that that many price variations between states are the result of justifiable market conditions. The cost of doing business in Alaska, for example, is higher across the board — the state's distance from suppliers and relatively sparse population make shipping more expensive and limit access, which drives up prices. His organization is advocating transparency in health care industry pricing, he said.
"All we're trying to do is suggest that where there are high prices, that people ask, 'why,'" Newman said. "And understand that, in some circumstances, they will be justified ... but when they're high and unjustified, that is good reason for people to ask, 'why.'"
Aetna, Humana and UnitedHealthcare only account for about a third of the state's commercially insured, so the results of the study are not exhaustive.
Here are a few examples of how much more Wisconsinites are shelling out, on average, for their health care, according to guroo.com
, which uses Health Care Cost institute's claims data from Aetna, Humana and UnitedHealthcare.
- The national average cost of a Childbirth "care bundle," which includes routine prenatal care, lab tests, ultrasounds, delivery of and routine postnatal care, is $12,485. The average price in Wisconsin is $16,181, slightly lower than the Milwaukee area average of $16,750.
- Knee replacement surgery costs on average $35,543 nationally, $43,301 in Wisconsin and $41,822 in the Milwaukee area.
- Nationally, tonsil and adenoid removal costs $5,195 on average. In Wisconsin, the average cost is $7,916 and in the Milwaukee area the average coast is $6,976.
A representative from the Wisconsin Hospital Association was not immediately available for comment.

There is no sin greater than the atonement of Jesus Christ. There is no greater suffering that Christ has never fully endured. There is no weakness the Savior was not intimate with. From Gethsemane to the Cross, he alone carried the burden of all humanities affliction, weakness, and suffering. We may complain where is God in my suffering? He is there with you, in your own garden of Gethsemane.

The Bombardier Global 5000 Vision/5500/6000/6500 Operational Landing Distance course provides operators with the information to complete the Runway Overrun and Global Reporting Format (GRF) and OLD (Operational Landing Distance) in-flight time of arrival calculations, as required by EASA. ICAO has mandated that all member states implement the GRF on November 5, 2021. Transport Canada and EASA have an earlier implementation date of August 12, 2021 due to winter conditions.
The course content conforms with the content requirements outlined in the proposed EASA regulation CAT.OP.MPA.311 Reporting on Runway Braking Action, CAT.OP.MPA.300 Approach and Landing Conditions – Aeroplanes, and CAT.OP.MPA.303 Acceptable Means of Compliance. These regulations require operators to complete a time of arrival landing distance calculation including the requirement to add an additional 15% to calculated landing distance using new operational landing distance tables.
For FAA and ICAO countries, the additional 15% calculated landing distance is recommended.


However, if you lose power and use the disconnect switch, you’ll need to reattach it to use your garage door motor to open and close your door again. Open the door all the way and then reattach this hook. Then try opening or closing the door again with your transmitter, and you should be all set. It will be easiest to reattach this hook when your car is not in the garage, as you’ll need to place a step ladder underneath the motor to reach it.
The track is secured with these little brackets and they're adjustable. There's a slot that it rides in so you can unscrew it here and adjust it if you need to. And you're going to have to pay attention and look at it closely to make sure it's in the right spot, but it's not that tricky and you can do it. And usually one side is out of alignment so you can compare it to the other and then adjust it as needed.

Both types of springs are _loaded_, or under tension, when the door is closed. This gives them stored energy to help lift the door as it's being opened. When the door is all the way up, the springs are relaxed, or relatively so—they still may be under some tension. The mechanical difference between extension and torsion springs is that extension springs are loaded by stretching, or elongating, while torsion springs are loaded by twisting, creating torque.
Springs are one of the primary components in all garage door systems. Torsion springs are usually mounted horizontally over the door opening. As the door closes, cables add tension to the springs and as the door opens that tension is released. The opening of the door causes the springs to unwind in conjunction with the weight coming off the door. This achieves a natural buoyancy. However, as the door moves up and down over time and the cycle count rises, the steel in the torsion springs will grow weak and will no longer be able to create energy or lift your garage door.
If the door only goes up six inches and stops, or moves very slowly when using your remote, you could have a broken spring as well. Some customers will notice that the top section of their door is bent or that the door falls very quickly when lowering. Your door may be “crooked” or jerky when going up and down, and both of these signs indicate your torsion spring is in poor condition and very likely to break in the near future. Any time you hear a loud “popping” noise while operating, you should inspect your torsion spring immediately for signs of damage.
All measurements should be in feet and inches. Step 1, measure across the existing door or desired space for the width, then up and down for the height. The rough opening of your space should be the same size as the door. Step 2, measure the sideroom, which is the space beside your door. Measure the width of the left side, and then the width of the right side. Step 3, measure the space above the door, which is called the headroom. Measure the height of the distance between the top of the door opening and the ceiling. Step 4, measure the ceiling, which is called the backroom. You’ll need to measure the distance of the garage door opening toward the back wall of your garage. You should have 6 total measurements in all once you’ve finished measuring the space. Keep in mind that having an automatic garage door opener installed might call for additional backroom or ceiling space.

For example, your transmitter may have fallen under your car seat and the button is accidentally being pushed by something heavy rolling around on your floor. If that’s not the case, you may also need to check your transmitter’s frequency. It’s possible your neighbors could be running their garage doors on the same frequency as yours, and as they drive by, they’re opening their garage door along with yours.


Do you want the world to see your gaming skills? Twitch is the best platform for the job, whether you play PC or console games.
However, did you know that you can stream mobile games too? That is an important skill for becoming a game streamer because mobile titles are more popular nowadays.
This article will discuss how you can stream mobile games on Twitch. You will need a smartphone, webcam, and a computer with copies of Reflector 4 and OBS Studio.
How to install Reflector 4
You need a way for your smartphone to display on your computer. Consequently, your PC could stream that content on Twitch.
Fortunately, you could solve that issue with Reflector 4. It works on Windows and macOS computers and requires no additional devices or cables.
Download it at www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/try#buy-reflector. Then, open Reflector 4 on your computer to project your mobile’s display.
If you are using an iOS device, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Control Center. Next, tap the AirPlay icon in the middle.
On the other hand, you should begin by opening the Notifications Center if you have an Android phone or tablet.
Then, press the Cast icon, select the More Settings option, and choose your PC. Note that Reflector 4 is only free for seven days.
Afterward, you will need to pay a one-time fee of $19.99 if you want a licensed copy for Windows or macOS. If you want both, you need to pay $21.99.
How to install OBS Studio
OBS is such a well-known streaming app that your favorite influencers probably mentioned it once or twice. It is a popular program for broadcasting livestreams to Twitch.
Begin by downloading and installing OBS Studio on your computer. Next, go to the official Twitch website and log into your account.
Click on the Dashboard, Settings, and the Stream Key options. Then, press the purple button to see your stream key. Copy that series of numbers by highlighting it, right-clicking, and selecting the Copy option.
Return to OBS Studio and click on the Settings, Streaming, Service, and Twitch options. Next, paste the stream key on the relevant field by right-clicking and choosing the Paste option.
How to add media sources to OBS Studio
You must add Reflector 3 to OBS Studio so that your followers can watch your mobile gameplay.
Keep both programs open and cast your mobile device on Reflector. Then, go to OBS and click the “+” icon under the Sources tab.
Select the Windows Capture option, click on Reflector 3 from the drop-down menu, and press the Ok button.
That would reveal a new screen you can move and resize with your mouse. Adjust it to look the way you want it online.
Also, add images to make your stream look better for viewers. For example, you could place your channel’s logo on top.
You need to show your face in your gaming stream via a webcam. Add yours by clicking on the “+” icon under the Sources tab.
Select the Video Capture Device option, pick your webcam from the list, and click Ok. Then, move and resize it however you want.
How to prepare your phone for streaming
Your smartphone should focus on running your mobile game to ensure it projects smoothly on your livestream.
Make sure no other apps are running on your Android or iOS phone. Also, turn off notifications to prevent them from interrupting your stream.
Prevent people from calling your streaming phone by turning on Airplane Mode with active Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Alternatively, you could use a separate gaming phone for streaming.
Those were the steps on how to stream mobile games on Twitch. You can find numerous free alternatives online but choose carefully.
Some programs contain viruses and malware, putting your internet safety at risk. On the other hand, you could record your gaming highlights and post them on YouTube.

The release of the 2021 Michelin guide has been maintained despite the health crisis and the closure of restaurants for six months out of twelve in 2020. It is presented this Monday, from noon to 1 p.m., from the Jules Verne restaurant on the Eiffel Tower , in Paris, and broadcast live on Youtube, Facebook and Instagram.
The ceremony in front of an audience of chefs initially planned in Cognac has been canceled (the 2022 launch should however take place there).
Read the file: Michelin Guide 2021: Michelin-starred restaurants
The big question for chefs and food watchers alike was how to remove the stars.
Was the Michelin going to downgrade tables in an already very difficult context for the profession?
Some demotions will concern restaurants that have closed or changed concept.
But the three-star chefs, the highest distinction in the gastronomic world which must be revalidated each year by inspectors after several anonymous meals, can take their breath away.
None of them will know the fate of the Bocuse restaurant, demoted by one star in 2020, or of chef Marc Veyrat, downgraded in 2019, just one year after winning a third star, and who had initiated and lost his case against the famous guide.
The World's 50 Best canceled its list of awards, as did the List, which instead distributed special prizes highlighting the sector's reaction to the pandemic.
As for Gault & Millau, it has frozen its number of chef's hats.
Faced with criticism, several three-star chefs, including Christian Le Squer and Guy Savoy, published posts on Instagram on Sunday highlighting the importance of Michelin for the profession.
