How To Learn K-Pop Dances
So, if you’re anything like me, you love a good K-Pop song and the fun, popular choreography that comes with it.
But I have to admit… if you asked me if I’ve ever actually tried learning any K-Pop choreography… I’d embarrassingly have to say “No”.
Even though the dances are meant to be simple to learn, it’s easy to feel intimidated when you’re watching the moves being executed by idols who’ve been training for most of their lives!
So, I decided to find out what it takes to master K-Pop routines AND perform like a legit K-Pop star.
Now, I’m gonna share everything I learned with you.
Keep reading to get all the tips you’ll need to become a K-Pop dancer yourself!
The term “K-Pop” is an abbreviation for “Korean popular music.”
While the name is pretty general, “K-Pop” is typically used to describe a mixture of East Asian and Western music genres that can be traced back to the 1880s.
Throughout the 1880s-1940s, Koreans were introduced to Western music through American missionaries and radio broadcasts, but it wasn’t until the 1940s when North and South Korea parted ways that K-Pop music really started to thrive.
Many American soldiers remained in South Korea after the Korean War, and started spreading the latest Pop, Gospel, Rock, Jazz, Hip Hop, R&B, Folk, Country, Classical, and Reggae.
As a result, South Korean music artists started infusing their own music with Western rhythms, instruments, vocalization styles, and languages.
And sure enough, Korean singers started getting their big break within Western circles.
Ever heard of The Kim Sisters?
Around 1959, they were the first Korean artists to drop an album in the U.S!
Of course, this music doesn’t sound like K-Pop as we now know it…
The music we currently call “K-Pop” is most heavily influenced by Western music from the 1990s-2010s.
It was during that time period that the internet made it easier than ever for countries to share music with each other.
The Korean government was putting more focus on marketing their music to other countries, but it wasn’t just the K-Pop industry running the show anymore!
Take the boyband Seo Taiji & Boys for example.
Despite the fact that they scored really low during a televised Korean talent show with their song Nan Arayo, their fans went crazy over that same song AND their album.
They posted their music video online and the song made it to the states where new audiences fell in love with it!
Whether it was Seo Taiji & Boys’ unique fusion of Rap, Hip Hop, Rock, Jazz, and EDM, the sound of the Korean lyrics, or their standout fashion sense, thousands of teens and tweens around the world saw their video and looked at them as “idols” – a term that would become the #1 descriptor for K-Pop group members.
Many other K-Pop artists followed suit and in the 21st century, names like Super Junior, Big Bang, Wonder Girls, Psy, BTS, Blackpink and TWICE were household names.
Of course, one of the main things that sets K-Pop apart is the dancing!
The choreography is full of fun dance moves that are actually easy to learn.
And since the late 2000’s, K-Pop choreography (and the highly produced music videos that showcased it) has heavily contributed to the genre’s virality.
The choreography that went with the chorus of each song was meant to be catchy and attainable, so that anyone in the world could “cover” the choreography just like they would cover the song itself.
Soon, sites like Youtube and Facebook were filled with dance cover videos that gave free advertising to each new K-Pop song.
The moves and combos were heavily influenced by the Hip-Hop-heavy choreography used by 90s/2000s American groups, but K-Pop dances also tended to lean very cute/playful or very edgy – much like the music itself.
For example, compare how Britney Spears’ and Girls Generation’s choreography look.
They’re both filled with sharp and precise movements, hyper-feminine grooves, and playful gestures. And it's not just one person dancing. You get to see lots of bodies moving in unison!
Many of the early K-Pop groups who were popular in the states followed this formula, but the first modern K-Pop song to get serious radio play featured unisex moves that were appropriate for any age.
Enter “Gangnam Style” by Psy!
Due to that “galloping horse” move, this was the first video on YT to receive over a billion views.
If you want to learn how to dance K-Pop, start by choosing a few groups that you really resonate with!
Then, you can dissect what makes their choreography unique and master their style!
For example, if you really love BLACKPINK’s Lisa, you might notice that she’s all about intricate details and putting serious power into her stage performances.
So, as you’re learning a BLACKPINK or Lisa routine, really focus on those style elements as you practice each move.
Be thoughtful about flicking your wrist to finish a move or tilting your head at a particular moment.
Remember to stay powerfully grounded when you strut, rather than bouncing lightly on your feet.
Once you know which idol you want to look like, you can then focus on mastering the actual dance steps.
If you’re totally new to dance, start by looking for choreography that’s a little more smooth and groovy.
Basically, you want to look for the same types of moves that you’d do at a club or party.
A great example would be the routine from “Pretty Savage” by BLACKPINK.

The chorus section is all about hair whips, booty shaking, and bouncy moves that hit right on the beat. Even if you don’t look exactly like the idols when you do this routine, you’ll still look great!
P.S. If you wanna learn this choreography step-by-step, we have a tutorial on STEEZY Studio. ;)
Click here to learn it!
If you’re further along in your dance training, then you can choose a faster, more precise routine.
Typically, these types of choreographies will test your ability to use speed and control at the right time - all while dancing to more complex rhythms.
Take ATEEZ’ “Say My Name” choreography for example:
During the chorus section, you’ll notice that there's a lot of jumping, quick hand movements, and sudden transitions from fast moves to slow moves.
You’ll need to practice this routine a lot since many of the moves won’t come naturally to you!
P.P.S. You can learn “Say My Name” on STEEZY Studio too! Just click here.
After you know the style of choreography and routine you want to learn, you’re ready to really dive in!
There are a few ways to go about learning K-Pop choreography.
A lot of people learn the routines by studying the highly produced music videos that come with most K-Pop songs.
You can find the videos on YouTube, slow down the tempo, study the movements, and then practice in a mirror at home.
Many other K-Pop songs come with what’s called a “practice video” – basically, this is a video of the music group rehearsing the routine in a clean, simple environment.
These videos are much easier to learn from since they don’t include all of the fancy cuts/editing that can make it harder to see what the idols are doing.
Here’s an example of BTS practicing their routine for “Fire”:
Of course, when you’re learning a K-Pop routine, you’re not limited to just videos from the music groups themselves.
There are also tons of K-Pop covers artists on YouTube who break down the routines into step-by-step tutorials.
One of the most popular cover artist duos, Ellen & Brian, has nearly 3M followers!
Now, while all of these YouTube options are useful, they definitely come with some learning limitations.
You’ll likely spend a lot of time pausing and rewinding, stopping to check yourself in a mirror, and digging for videos where the content is flipped on screen so that you can copy the instructor directly (basically, if they lift their left arm on screen, you wanna be able to lift your left arm too. You don’t wanna have to think in your head, “ok, her left arm is going up, but the camera is reversing the image, so I should lift my right arm, right???”).
Luckily, all of these annoying issues are solved for you on STEEZY Studio!
Unlike YouTube, STEEZY’s a platform made for learning dance routines.
You can flip the video’s orientation with the tap of a button, play tricky sections of the routine on loop while you practice, and use your webcam as a virtual, on-screen mirror so you can see yourself right behind the instructor.
We’re regularly dropping the latest and greatest K-Pop tutorials so definitely check it out here!
And if you’d like to try STEEZY out for free, start with these 10 FREE K-Pop moves classes.
One last tip before you dive into allll the K-Pop routines!
It’s important to keep in mind that K-Pop choreography doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
Choreographers from all over the world put together the routines for your favorite groups, and those choreographers have unique styles and dance backgrounds that are worth learning about!
For example, if a certain choreographer regularly creates routines for your favorite group, and that choreographer is a big fan of Jazz dance steps and lots of hair movements, it might be worth it to take their classes directly so that you can perfect those skills.
Here are a few K-Pop choreographers who you can train with on STEEZY:
Choreographer Brian Puspos is known for working with BTS and being one of Jimin’s favorite dancers.
Teen dancer sensation Bailey Sok choreographed for Red Velvet.
Swag queen Rie Hata is the genius behind several NCT, BTS, and Red Velvet routines.
All of these K-Pop choreographers and many more (Ian Eastwood, Lyle Beniga, Ellen Kim…) have classes on STEEZY Studio that will teach you how to dance smooth, sharp, fast, slow – everything!
Planning to make your own K-Pop dance cover video?
Now that we know what K-Pop is and how to do K-Pop dances, the last step is learning how to look the part!
Make sure you:
1. Wear a mix of fitted clothing pieces like skinny jeans and tight tops, combined with clothing that’s loose and baggy. The fitted clothes will show the lines of your body as they cut through the air while the baggy pieces will add more motion to each of your movements. Leggings or shorts with a loose buttoned-up shirt or a skirt with bike shorts underneath are great options. Use the music videos for inspiration.
2. Have fun with your hair – it’s often part of the choreography! You can search “k-pop hair ideas” on Pinterest to come up with fun ways to style ponytails, pigtails, and braids that will complement your outfit.
3. Set up the “set” you’re going to dance in front of! You don’t need to do something super fancy like the music videos themselves – mainly focus on creating a set that’s visually interesting without being distracting. If you want a city skyline in your background, you can dance on the high floor of a parking garage. You can use brightly colored walls in your town as a backdrop. You can throw some string lights behind you in your bedroom or make use of a color changing bulb. Just make sure there isn’t any clutter in your space!
Now, who’s ready to learn some K-Pop moves?

10 K-pop Dance Tips & Tricks For Beginners
If you’re new to dancing and thinking of where to start, you’ve come to the right place. K-pop dance is beginner-friendly, free, and can be done at home by yourself.
K-pop dance is a form of cardio exercise that tones your entire body. It is also a perfect way for you to boost your self-confidence as you replicate concepts and personas just like your favourite idols.
As a K-pop cover dancer myself, I would like to share 10 tips and tricks that will help make your learning journey a fruitful and enjoyable one.
1. Choose a suitable K-pop dance choreography
The difficulty levels of K-pop dance choreographies range from super simple to challenging even for seasoned dancers. If you are a total beginner with no prior dance experience, start with an easy choreography.
Image adapted from: Big Hit Labels
3 factors can help you determine the difficulty of a choreography: repetition, speed, and style of song.
Repetition refers to how often dance moves are repeated throughout the song. Speed refers to the tempo of the song and how many steps there are in 8 counts. Style refers to the overall concept of the dance, such as “sexy”, “swag”, and “cute”.
Beginner-friendly choreographies usually entail repetitive dance moves without half-counts. In terms of style, cute concepts are the easiest to emulate while powerful concepts tend to require more control and speed.
Here are some examples of beginner-friendly choreographies:
Very Very Very – I.O.I
아이오아이 (I.O.I) - 너무너무너무 (Very Very Very) MV
Mic Drop – BTS
BTS (방탄소년단) 'MIC Drop (Steve Aoki Remix)' Official MV
2. Choose a member to copy from
Image adapted from: BLACKPINK
Most K-pop songs performed by idol groups have dance moves that differ among members, especially during solo parts. Choosing a member to copy from simplifies the learning process.
Image adapted from: SMTOWN
Generally, rappers give off more “swag” when they dance, main dancers deal with slightly trickier choreography for their solo parts, and the visual members of the group focus more on stage presence and facial expressions.
3. Source for good mirrored dance videos on YouTube
One way to learn K-pop dance is through mirrored videos of dance practices, fancams, and live performances. A good mirrored dance video shows a high-quality full-body view with no interruptions for the entire duration of the song.
Image adapted from: K-Pop Dance Mirror
Entertainment companies usually release dance practice videos of title tracks during their idols’ comebacks. Such dance practice videos are perfect learning material because of the clarity in showing both the choreography and overall formations.
Image adapted from: M2
Fancam videos and live performances, on the other hand, are best when you are trying to pick up smaller details such as facial expressions and gestures. These zoomed-in videos are usually not mirrored, but they are good reference for details that you cannot find in dance practice videos.
4. Set small goals and divide the choreography
Dividing the choreography into segments – first verse, chorus, bridge, or even by seconds – allows you to set small goals for each practice session and to plan a rough timeline for yourself. Having small goals and achieving them also keeps you motivated throughout the learning process.
There’s no hard and fast rule that dictates the need to learn from the start of the song. You can start from any part of the song you like, and you don’t have to learn the full choreography if you prefer not to.
5. Find a learning style that works best for you
In K-pop dance, learning styles can differ greatly but no one style trumps another.
Most people would first slow down choreography videos, usually at 0.5x, 0.75x, and 0.9x, when learning. After this step, three variables determine your learning style.
How to break down dance steps
Image adapted from: 여자친구 GFRIEND OFFICIAL
It is natural for seasoned dancers to learn the dance steps by counting, but it might not be as intuitive for beginners. If you find yourself struggling to break steps down into counts, you can try matching the dance moves to the lyrics or beats in the song instead.
Level of detail to capture
Image adapted from: BLACKPINK
You should decide for yourself how detailed you want to be during the initial learning stage. Some choose to learn the overall choreography for an entire part first before moving on to small details such as gestures and gaze.
Image adapted from: TREASURE (트레저)
Some choose to learn a short part at 0.5x speed, repeat, and only move on to a new dance move after they are able to do it at full speed. Others prefer to learn an entire verse at a slower speed before trying it at full speed. It all depends on what you are comfortable with.
6. Break down difficult steps
In any choreography, there are bound to be moves that seem unfamiliar and difficult to execute.
Break it down by observing which body parts are used to execute it. Key body parts to note are the chest, arms, hip, and knees.
Image adapted from: Stone Music Entertainment
Mimic the dance movement while focusing on the different body parts involved. Through trial and error, you will be able to identify which is the key body part that guides the rest of the body in executing the difficult dance move.
Certain dance moves such as chest isolations and body waves appear often in K-pop dances in nuanced variations. Therefore, having the habit of breaking down difficult steps will gradually increase your learning speed and improve your execution of such steps.
7. Refer to dance tutorials
Dance tutorials are helpful when you find yourself struggling with breaking down the steps by yourself.
However, dance tutorials might not always follow the exact way idols execute dance moves. They are usually also member-specific, so you might not be able to find a tutorial for solo parts of the member that you are covering.
Here are a few YouTube channels with easy-to-follow K-pop dance tutorials:
Here is her tutorial for BLACKPINK’s How You Like That:

Ellen and Brian
Here is Brian’s tutorial of TXT’s Can’t You See Me:
TXT - 'Can't You See Me' Dance Tutorial (Explanation + Mirrored) | Ellen and Brian
8. Learn facial expressions and lip-sync parts
Image adapted from: BLACKPINK
Facial expressions add flair to the dance. The best way to learn facial expressions is by watching videos of live music performances with close-up shots of the idols.
While lip-syncing is not a must for K-pop dance covers, it helps you emulate the idol persona better and makes your cover more well-rounded. For those who are unfamiliar with the Korean language, you can look for romanised song lyrics on websites such as Color Coded Lyrics and KPOPEASY.
9. Record and review your dance practices
Consolidate your learning and track your progress over time by recording your dance practices. Always ensure that you stay in frame and that the camera captures your full body. Try using a tripod or placing your camera on a chair.
If you don’t have a full-length mirror at home, a dance practice video is essential in showing how your entire body looks when you dance. Recording yourself will also help you discover your dancing “bad habits”. For example, I only discovered my habit of staring at the ground after I reviewed my recorded dance practice recordings.
Image adapted from: Victoria Ow and MNH Entertainment
You can also create side-by-side comparison videos of your dance practice vs. the idols’ original choreography. This helps brush up your accuracy and timing when executing moves.
10. Explore different K-pop dance styles
Certain dance styles have go-to moves. After you pick up a few choreographies of the same genre, you’ll be familiar with it. But don’t limit yourself to just one genre – move out of your comfort zone instead.
Image adapted from (clockwise from top-left): APRIL, JAY PARK, ATEEZ and Stone Music Entertainment
K-pop dance offers a wide variety of concepts. It is an opportunity to branch out to other dance genres, such as street jazz, urban, and hip hop, all of which are increasingly being integrated into K-pop dance choreographies.
K-pop dance for beginners
With K-pop dance, there is no need to worry about techniques or basics because it will come to you naturally over time with practice. The plethora of concepts and choreography difficulties will allow beginners such as yourself to be motivated to grow as a dancer.
The ultimate beauty of K-pop dance lies in the fact that there will always be a space for anyone at any stage of their dance journey. My K-pop dance journey for the past 8 years has been deeply fulfilling and I am sure that it will be the same for you too.

What is k-pop cover dance
K-pop, that is, Korean pop, is not only a musical genre, but also a whole culture, including a dance direction, which is becoming more and more popular outside of South Korea. We tell you how to dance k-pop, what is k-pop cover dance and where to learn it (spoiler: here!).
Dancing is the most important part k-pop . The release of a single by a k-pop artist also implies the release of a video in which there are a lot of dances. To create the image of an idol, that is, a South Korean pop star, along with vocal abilities, one must take into account his appearance, style and dancing skills. After all, every performance of idols is a show that is built not only through scenery, costumes, singing, but also dancing. Therefore, would-be idols spend as much time in dance classes as they do in singing lessons, if not more.
The dance direction of K-pop is based on the stage choreography of idols. In the early days of K-pop, dancing didn't play such a big role. They served a decorative function, the movements were simple and catchy, and sometimes "viral" so that fans could easily repeat them. By the beginning of the third generation, the choreography has grown a lot, it has become quite complex, it is now difficult for fans to repeat it without dance training. That's why k-pop cover dance classes appeared .
K-pop cover dance is a popular dance style that learns the choreography of famous K-pop artists, such as idols such as BTS and BLACKPINK .
Learning idol choreography is so popular not only because of the large number of their fans around the world, but also because of the specifics of the dances themselves. The fact is that k-pop cover dance combines a variety of elements from several modern dance styles. That is why it is not necessary to be a fan of Korean pop culture, the choreography of the k-pop cover dance direction can resonate with those who just want to develop in dance. And the thing is that k-pop cover dance is able to reveal your potential and captivate you into the world of a new, perhaps still unfamiliar, culture. His bright presentation and stylish music will cheer you up and will not leave you indifferent.
What kinds of dance styles can be found in k-pop cover dance? These are, of course, complex elements of hip-hop, which are more often performed by boy bands. The female choreography is simpler. Other styles include JazzFunk, House, Dancehall, Locking and Vogue.
The "chip" of the dance direction is simple movements-markers , which coincide with the lyrics in meaning. Thus, any fan can remember them, he does not have to attend dance classes.
Idol choreography is now available for you! At the Oriental Culture Center KITSUNE we offer courses in k-pop cover dance. How are our classes going?
- At the beginning of each class there is a good warm-up.
- Then there is a review of the new choreography and a repetition of the previous one.
- The dance is divided into parts, each of which is analyzed in detail by counting.
- After the analysis of all parts is completed, the choreography is worked out in its entirety.
You can sign up for courses, see the schedule of groups and meet our teachers at this link .
Lezginka is in his blood - News - KOREANS.KZ There is a legend about a young man who met a girl of extraordinary beauty, rushed to her and began to spin in a dance, falling to his knees. So the lezginka was born, which personifies beauty, nobility and love. In the Caucasus, the "Dance of the Eagle" is danced by both old and young. The number of his fans is growing, and today representatives of different nations dance lezginka. Among them is 12-year-old Artem Yugay, a member of the well-known in Kazakhstan ensemble of Caucasian dance "Bakhar". Just the other day, the team returned from Moscow, where they won the Grand Prix in a prestigious international project.
In Moscow on February 3-4, for the first time in Russia, a television project on folk dance "Folk of dance" was held. Selection rounds were held in 12 cities of Russia, CIS and Europe, more than 1000 dancers or more than 100 teams took part in them. Representatives from 25 countries of the world fought for the title of the best dance group in the final. As a result, the winners of the Grand Prix in six nominations were determined.
Kazakhstan at this authoritative competition was presented by the ensemble of the Caucasian dance "Bahar", which eventually won the Grand Prix of the competition in the nomination "Mixed teams".
The "Bahar" Ensemble is a multinational group, Dagestanis, Russians, Kazakhs, Turks, Azeris, Uighurs, Armenians and 12-year-old Korean Artem Yugay dance in it.
Immediately after returning to Almaty, we met and talked with Artem.
- Artem, tell us about yourself, why did you choose lezginka?
– I am 12 years old, studying in the 6th grade. I have been doing lezginka for three years. Before that, he was engaged in taekwondo and even received a black belt, was fond of football. Once I saw at the wedding of my cousin how they dance the lezginka, became interested in this dance and wanted to do it. My parents supported my choice and I am very grateful to them. I am interested in both the dance itself and its history, culture, people and traditions of the Caucasus. I have made many friends, our ensemble "Bahar" is very close-knit, friendly and multinational. We all go out into nature very often, celebrate holidays, help in difficult times, in a short time we have become one family.
– What is the most difficult thing about dancing for you?
- There is nothing difficult - because I dance from the heart. Incendiary and rhythmic music itself makes you move. Lezginka is perfect movements, beautiful costumes and, most importantly, discipline. We must always keep our posture and stay on our toes for almost the entire dance, without looking down. Thanks to the classes, I got stronger physically. For me, lezginka is the embodiment of courage, I learned how to move clearly and gracefully at the same time. I enjoy attending classes and never miss.
– What are your impressions about the Folk of dance project…
- When we won, there were indescribable emotions of delight, many tears of joy and pride for our ensemble and our Motherland. We have worked wholeheartedly. After the final dance, the jury gave us a standing ovation, there were a lot of words of gratitude to our ensemble.
– Artem, tell us about your plans for the future.
- There are a lot of plans. In addition to dancing, I study the Korean language and dream of visiting my historical homeland. In the future, I want to take up lezginka more professionally and even open my own school. I think it will be a unique school, because it will be led by a Korean. I want to thank my parents for believing in me and supporting me. Thanks to them, I always have the desire to achieve the best result.
Here is such a purposeful, confident, noble and grateful boy Artem Yugay. And here I would like to make a small digression. 12 years ago, when Artem was just born, he was given a terrible diagnosis - hydronephrosis of the kidneys, which sentenced the child to be disabled. But Artem and his parents defeated this disease.

When I mentioned this topic to my colleagues, they laughed, it is amusing because it’s a stereotype and generalization that in many ways is true. This isn’t regional, A LOT of architects around the world wear black almost exclusively. Does this ‘dress code’ hold any insight into the community of architects and their culture?
So what is black: most obviously it is dark and mysterious, it is the absence of light. In fashion black is stylish, sophisticated and pure, it is classic but trendy, it is conservative or sexy. The color of authority and power however priests wear black to signify submission to God. So Black is filled with contradiction?
Will clients anticipate that an architect in black is more artistic and will create more unique architecture, reminiscent of tormented artists like Andy Warhol or Jackson Pollock.
Spatially black is the void; it is the silhouette and the shadow. Architects are forever fascinated with and shaping and creating of voids and space.
so why not lime green, why black?
Well maybe it isn’t really about the black but more about a dress code or uniform. A dress code is defined as a written or unwritten rule regarding clothing which is worn by members of an organization while participating in that organizations activity….hmmm.
So who are some of the culprits of this unwritten dress code…
and sometimes Architects throw in some white just to mess with us…
Do you have any thoughts on why architects wear black?

On October 25, 2021, the EEOC issued updated guidance related to COVID-19: “What You Should Know About COVID-19 and the ADA, the Rehabilitation Act, and Other EEO Laws.” You can find the updated guidance here: https://www.eeoc.gov/wysk/what-you-should-know-about-covid-19-and-ada-rehabilitation-act-and-other-eeo-laws.
The new guidance adds section L.1 through L.5 dealing with Title VII and religions objections to COVID-19 vaccine mandates. In my opinion, the updated guidance does not change much and should really be more of a re-affirmation of what you are already doing.
The key takeaways from this updated guidance are:
I. Employee Notification Obligations
An employee must notify his employer if the employee is requesting an exception to a COVID-19 vaccination requirement due to a sincerely held religious belief. However, the employee need not use the words “accommodation,” “Title VII” or any other magic words. Ideally, employers will educate employees on the process that they should use in order to a religious accommodation. This will assist employers in controlling the process.
II. Assessing Religiousness and Sincerity
The EEOC takes the position that an employer would be justified in questioning the religious nature or sincerity of an employee’s professed belief and challenging that belief through a limited factual inquiry only if the employer had an “objective basis” for doing so.
Although Title VII protection extends to “nontraditional religious beliefs,” it does not require accommodation for “social, political, or economic views, or personal preferences.”
III. Undue Hardship
Deciding whether an undue hardship exists depends on the particular facts of each situation. Employers “will need to demonstrate how much cost or disruption the employee’s proposed accommodation would involve.” in order to reject it as an undue burden.
The burden of proving an undue hardship in the context of a religious accommodation is a relatively low one for an employer. Requiring an employer to bear more than a “de minimis,” or a minimal, cost to accommodate an employee’s religious belief may be an undue hardship. Costs to be considered include not only direct monetary costs but also the burden on the conduct of the employer’s business – including, the risk of the spread of COVID-19 to other employees or the public. Other relevant considerations are the number of employees seeking a similar accommodation and the cumulative cost or burden to the employer.
IV. Universal Accommodations
Accommodations are a personal thing. Granting a religious accommodation to one employee does not mean that an employer must grant religious accommodations to all employees. The determination of whether an accommodation will cause an undue hardship is case-by-case and depends upon the individual employee’s position and duties.
V. Preferred Accommodation
Employer’s do not have to provide the specific accommodation requested by an employee. “If more than one accommodation would be effective in eliminating the religious conflict, the employer should consider the employee’s preference but is not obligated to provide the reasonable accommodation preferred by the employee.”
VI. Reconsideration After Granting an Accommodation
The fact that an employer has granted an accommodation does not mean that it must continue to do so in perpetuity. An employer may reconsider and even discontinue an accommodation “if it is no longer utilized for religious purposes” or poses an undue hardship “due to changed circumstances.”
As always, don’t hesitate to call me directly if you have any questions.

The Corn Hill Neighbors Association and ESL Federal Credit Union are proud to present Head to the Roots at The Corn Hill Gazebo on Sunday August 1, 2021 from 4:00-7:00 pm
From high energy stomp to mellow campfire acoustic, Head to the Roots is the music mind-child of Anthony Siciliano. Anthony pulls at the roots of folk, blues, rock and reggae music.

For this year's Fourth of July parade in Lincolnshire, judge Leslie Donavan will not have to ask co-organizer Peggy Gaier for a ride on her golf cart.
When Donavan learned recently that she had been voted "Citizen of the Year," she started thinking about some of the perks that would come with the honor.
"I think it means that I'll get to ride in the parade, instead of walk," she said.
The Lincolnshire Community Association, which helps organize the "Red, White and Boom" festival, gave the award to Donavan, 61, for her years of volunteerism and time spent on the former planning commission in the village, officials said.
Speaking from Savannah, Georgia, after a business trip, Donovan, a former litigation attorney, a former organizer of an Olympic event and current mother of two, recently talked about her past experiences and world travels.
Q: You led the brand-control facet of the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks and a corruption scandal within the American committee. How did you position that event to regain trust?
A: I was lucky because the Olympic brand is the most valuable in the world, I believe. Really, you're just protecting the use of it. And there are a lot of people who look really good because they came in and did an adequate job after the person before them did poorly. I think that's one of the greatest things in life because you look great, if you've followed someone who did poorly.
Q: Many Lincolnshire residents are well-traveled. What's the best place to visit that folks around here may not have thought of?
A: There aren't too many places I haven't been. Probably my favorite is Antarctica. It's all about nature – not culture. It puts everything on the planet in its order of significance. It makes you very aware of everything around you.

Well, IMHO, there's no such thing as junk food. All food has a useful place in a healthy diet. Potato chips, chocolate bars, soft drinks as part of any balanced meal are all good for you. And you can wreck your body by eating too much of any food. The problem, if there is one, is junk DIETS, junk eating habits. But with all the media hype and political posturing one thing seems near certain - the nanny state will step in to slap a tax on the latest scapegoat - food.
There are so many ways this seems wrong it’s hard to know where to begin but here's the short list:
One, it’s unlikely to work. Since poor eating habits are the problem, those few who may be deterred by ‘junk’ food taxes will more than likely shift their overeating to other foods. Or, in accordance with the law of unintended consequences, they’ll sacrifice ‘healthy’ food to enable them to afford their ‘junk’ food habit.
Two, it’s a regressive tax that hits the poor the hardest. One more simple pleasure under seige by government.
Three, it’s doubly unfair because while it targets overeaters, a minority, it penalizes everyone. Why should everyone, including the poor, suffer a penalty aimed at deterring people with poor eating habits?
Four, the scientific basis for assumptions about weight and health is murky at best. Mortality is a reasonable measure of health and the results of at least one study showed that "Overweight was not associated with excess mortality." Statistically overweight people live no shorter lives than do those of normal weight. Only for the obese and the underweight is there an effect. Perhaps the 'junk' we need to be most concerned with is the ‘junk science’ being peddled to support ‘junk’ food theory.
Five, but not least, this is nanny-statism taken to a new height. Even assuming it were workable, it’s still an arrogant, totalitarian, one-size-fits-all measure. It’s state interference with one of our most basic personal responsibilities - eating habits. And children’s diets are parents’ responsibility.
People should be outraged by the gall of politicians and government bureaucrats attempting to micro-manage their lives, and with the media for its over-enthusiastic hype. Following this path to its ultimate conclusion will lead to government regulation of every aspect of our lives - everything being decided for us - everyone treated like an errant adolescent or serf - what isn’t forbidden is compulsory. In the broadest sense of the health of the citizenry, this is can hardly be a healthy state of affairs.
And, please, let’s not hear the tired argument that this is the government’s business because of the supposed $billions ‘junk’ food consumption costs the health care system. If anything this is one more strike against state monopoly healthcare which is being used to justify ever more interference in our personal lives.


Damar Hamlin Super Bowl Jacket and the explanation
Introduction Damar Hamlin Super Bowl Jacket
In a recent and widely-discussed incident, Damar Hamlin, a prominent figure in the world of sports, inadvertently found himself at the center of a nationwide controversy. At the Super Bowl earlier this year, Hamlin sported a varsity jacket that featured a striking combination of a portrait of Jesus alongside abstract art. The jacket's bold design was meant to make a statement, but it swiftly ignited debates and conversations across the nation due to its intricate and potentially controversial symbolism.
Description of the Jacket: The varsity jacket worn by Damar Hamlin boasted a unique and visually striking design that combined elements of religious imagery and abstract art. The focal point of the jacket was a detailed portrait of Jesus, artfully rendered to capture the depth and significance of this religious figure. Surrounding the portrait was a canvas of abstract art, featuring vibrant colors and intricate patterns that contrasted with the serene depiction of Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two artistic styles aimed to create an engaging and thought-provoking visual composition.
Initial Public Reaction: The moment Damar Hamlin made his appearance in the Damar Hamlin super bowl jacket, the public reaction was swift and fervent. Social media platforms were inundated with discussions, both supportive and critical, about the jacket's design. Many individuals expressed shock and dismay at the apparent juxtaposition of sacred religious imagery with contemporary abstract art. Criticism and negative responses emerged almost immediately, with some individuals even labeling the artwork as an act of blasphemy.
Accusations of Blasphemy: Among the most notable reactions were accusations of blasphemy. Certain individuals strongly believed that the portrayal of Jesus, a revered religious figure, alongside abstract art was deeply disrespectful and offensive to their religious beliefs. Blasphemy, which involves the disrespectful treatment of sacred or revered symbols, became a central theme in the conversation surrounding the jacket. These accusations fueled the controversy and added a layer of emotional intensity to the debate.
Cultural and Religious Sensitivities: The incident brought to the forefront the cultural and religious sensitivities surrounding the representation of religious figures in art. Religious symbols often hold immense significance and are deeply intertwined with individuals' faith and identity. The jacket incident highlighted how artistic expression can sometimes inadvertently cross into sacred territory, causing discomfort and offense to those who hold these symbols dear. This sensitivity stems from the understanding that art has the power to impact people's deeply held beliefs and emotions.
Damar Hamlin's Explanation: In response to the escalating controversy, Damar Hamlin issued a statement to provide clarity on the intentions behind the jacket's design. He asserted that the artwork was meant to be an expression of abstract creativity rather than a commentary on religious beliefs. Hamlin explained that the juxtaposition of the portrait of Jesus with abstract art was a deliberate attempt to showcase the convergence of traditional and contemporary artistic forms. He cited his appreciation for both religious symbolism and abstract expression, aiming to foster a dialogue about the intersection of art and faith.
Perspective and Cultural Influences: Hamlin's explanation shed light on his perspective as an artist and his desire to engage in conversations that transcend the boundaries of tradition and innovation. He emphasized that the jacket's design was a product of his personal journey and artistic influences, which include cultural elements that may be unfamiliar to some but hold significant meaning to others. By sharing these insights, Hamlin aimed to bridge the gap between artistic freedom and cultural sensitivity.
As the controversy unfolded, Damar Hamlin's varsity jacket incident served as a reminder of the complexities inherent in artistic expression, religious symbolism, and cultural understanding. The incident also provided an opportunity for broader discussions about the dynamic relationship between art and belief systems, as well as the importance of respectful dialogue when addressing potentially sensitive subjects.
Public Apology and Clarification: Recognizing the sensitivity and impact of the controversy, Damar Hamlin took to various media platforms to issue a public apology for any unintended offense caused by the jacket's design. In his apology, he expressed his deep regret for any hurt or discomfort that the artwork may have caused to individuals who found it offensive. Hamlin acknowledged that art is a powerful medium that can evoke strong emotions, and he expressed his sincere intention to foster dialogue rather than division. He clarified that the juxtaposition of the portrait of Jesus and abstract art was not meant to disrespect anyone's religious beliefs, but rather to explore the fusion of artistic styles.
Hamlin went on to explain that his intention was to spark conversations about the intersection of art, faith, and culture, while acknowledging the line between artistic expression and respectful representation.
Social Media Impact: The incident quickly gained momentum on social media platforms, playing a significant role in amplifying the controversy and shaping public opinion. Social media provided a platform for a diverse range of reactions, from passionate support to vehement criticism. Different platforms witnessed nuanced discussions, debates, and emotional exchanges, each contributing to the unfolding narrative. Social media's ability to spread information at a rapid pace brought the jacket incident to the attention of a broader audience and allowed for a multitude of perspectives to be shared.
Lessons Learned: The incident served as a poignant example of the intricate nature of public perception and the potential consequences of artistic expression. It highlighted how art can transcend its creator's intentions, resonating differently with individuals based on their personal experiences and beliefs. The incident underscored the importance of cultural and religious sensitivities, prompting deeper reflections on the power of visual symbols and their potential to evoke profound emotions.
Freedom of Expression vs. Cultural Sensitivity: The controversy ignited discussions surrounding the delicate balance between freedom of artistic expression and the need to be sensitive to diverse cultural and religious values. It illuminated the ongoing debates surrounding the extent to which artists can express their creativity while considering the potential impact on their audience. The incident raised questions about the responsibility of artists to anticipate various interpretations and the challenge of navigating between personal expression and communal respect.
Art and Interpretation: The incident underscored the subjective nature of art interpretation, emphasizing that individuals may perceive the same artwork in vastly different ways. The jacket's design demonstrated how art's meaning can be shaped by personal experiences, cultural background, and religious beliefs. The incident reinforced the notion that context matters when interpreting art, reminding us that an artist's intent may not always be fully grasped by the viewer.
Moving Forward: As the dust settled, the jacket incident left a lasting imprint on conversations about art, expression, and respect. It served as a catalyst for more open conversations about sensitive topics, encouraging individuals to engage in respectful dialogues that bridge differing perspectives. The incident emphasized the opportunity for growth, understanding, and empathy that emerges from such discussions. Moving forward, it remains a reminder of the potential for art to spark meaningful conversations and foster deeper connections among people from diverse backgrounds.

TORONTO — Tourists in Rome looking for a photo opp with a ‘real-life’ Gladiator will be sorely disappointed now that Centurions have been banished from the Eternal City.
City commissioner Francesco Paalo Tronca passed an official decree last Thursday that bans men who dress up as soldiers of the ancient empire and offer to pose for tourist pictures in return for cash, reports CTV News. Drivers of bicycle-drawn rickshaws who sell bus tours or tickets to monuments were also outlawed.
The commissioner, who’s running the city pending the election of a new mayor, said a ban was necessary to protect tourists from scammers who, in recent months, have shown “inappropriate, insistent and sometimes aggressive” behaviour.
The decree comes just in time of the Catholic Jubilee year, which will launch next month. The event is expected to significantly increase tourist arrivals throughout Rome.

We swear the more simplistic and toned down a play house is the more we love it. Somehow it just seems to make the creativity of the young minds which inhabit it shine that much brighter. These new play houses are not only high on the scale when it comes to modern good looks but are super sustainable as well!
We've featured many play houses around these parts in the past, but we're pretty sure we've never featured one that rates as high on the "green" scale.
These structures from Modern Playhouse are constructed from non-toxic, non-formaldehyde, water-based, naturally pigmented, and eco-friendly materials and finishes. They're held together by fasteners and hardware that are lead-free and wood that's been FSC certified and to top it all off, they're all constructed domestically from local artisans contracted for the job. How cool is that?
Make sure you check out goodkin for more on these awesome structures and when they'll be shipping out. They're on pre-order for the next few weeks before they hit stores this fall.

Tampa Bay Times
Tampa 12-year-old makes her mark at Augusta National
TAMPA — Elyse Meerdink stood on the 18th green at Augusta National on Easter Sunday and nailed a 15-foot putt to win the Drive, Chip and Putt National Championship.
A gallery of folks (some famous) and television cameras followed her every move, which was broadcast live to a Golf Channel audience.
It would be a lot of pressure for anyone at any age, but it wasn’t anything overwhelming for the 12-yearold.
She was calculating the situation: It was her last of two putts for the event. Her first attempt from 30 feet went 8.5 feet past the hole. That meant — within the competition’s format against her nine opponents who already had finished their attempts — Meerdink’s final putt from 15 feet had to stop under 2 feet, 11 inches from the hole.
“It actually calmed me down to know how close I needed the putt to finish from the hole,” said Meerdink, a sixth grader at Carrollwood Day School, where she plays on the varsity golf team that finished 14th at last fall’s state tournament. “I just stepped up and told myself to make a good stroke.”
The ball rolled evenly off the putter’s face, curved left and fell into the hole.
Meerdink pumped her fist and said, “Yes!” She walked off the green for a hug from her mom and dad, and along the way got a hearty “congratulations” from former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
After three qualifying events — local, sub-regional and regional — held at hundreds of places across the country, featuring thousands of initial entrants, Meerdink was the national champion in the 10-11 age group.
It was the end of a journey that started in the summer of 2019 before the COVID-19 postponement of the 2020 Drive, Chip and Putt finals at Augusta.
Meerdink said it was worth the wait, especially after taking her first-ever drive up Augusta National’s famed Magnolia Lane.
“I was in awe and I was taking it all in, looking around at everything,” said Meerdink, whose grandfather, Barry Meerdink, and great aunt, Sue Little, played on the PGA and LPGA tours, but never got a chance to compete at Augusta.
“Before I got (to Augusta National) I thought I would be more nervous. But once I was there, the place had such a calming feeling and I wasn’t that nervous.”
She felt a little better after nailing her first drive of the competition 226 yards safely into the 40-yard wide landing zone. Her second and final drive sailed 227 yards. At the national finals the best of two drives is used. After the driving portion of the competition, Meerdink was in third place.
Chipping was next, which involved two chips — which Meerdink left 2 feet, 9 inches and 8 feet, 8 inches from the hole — good enough for her to win that portion of the competition.
That translated to her taking a lead into the final skill of putting, which awarded her the advantage of going last among the 10 competitors.
“I got to see how the balls were rolling on the green,” Meerdink said. “It was the fastest green I’ve ever putted on. It was an adjustment.”
She added that the victory was undoubtedly the highlight of her golfing life, which started around age 5 with some putting alongside her dad, Trent.
The goal, she said, is simply to have fun with the game and continue to improve.
“I went to a summer camp a few years ago and it had swimming, tennis and golf and after doing all those I said, ‘I like golf,’” said Meerdink, who usually spends a couple of hours a day practicing.
“I love the game.”

A twitching jaw muscle can have several causes and one of them is cleaning the teeth.
“Jaw muscles could twitch or spasm for a number or reasons,” says Brijesh Chandwani, DMD, BDS, Diplomate, American Board of Orofacial Pain, with Connecticut & NY TMJ.
Dr. Chandwani explains, “While teeth cleaning (dental prophylaxis) does not usually cause jaw pain or jaw muscle twitch, it does occur sometimes due to a few different reasons.
“During a professional teeth cleaning appointment, if the jaw is held open for too long, the jaw muscles can fatigue or spasm and subsequently twitch.
“The twitching does subside in a day or two in most cases. Applying cold compresses over the jaw muscles can help.
“Gently massaging the area which is twitching can also relax the muscle. Jaw muscle twitching can last much longer or may be followed by jaw pain if the jaw joint and the jaw muscles are not able to relax.
“History of headaches or TMJ disorders or teeth grinding can be associated with worsening of jaw twitching after a dental visit.”
Other Causes of Jaw Muscle Twitches
The other causes are the same as with any other body part.
So for instance, if the area above a lip or somewhere in your buttocks or calf has been twitching – simply because that’s what muscles do in the human body – why would the mandibular muscles be exempt from this very common and benign phenomenon?
Not drinking enough water, not getting enough potassium and magnesium, stress and strain at the computer for prolonged periods, and anxiety can all lead to harmless fasciculations.
You might also want to ask yourself if you’ve been over-using your jaw lately: eating a lot, laughing a lot, excessive yawning, talking or hollering, etc.
These actions, in more volume than usual, can cause fatigue leading to twitching.
Dr. Chandwani has 10+ years of experience focusing on TMJ disorders and sleep disorders.
Lorra Garrick has been covering medical, fitness and cybersecurity topics for many years, having written thousands of articles for print magazines and websites, including as a ghostwriter. She’s also a former ACE-certified personal trainer.

A court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced five people to death for the murder of a journalist, Jamal Khashoggi.
Mr Khashoggi, a Saudi national and U.S. resident, was killed inside the Saudi consulate in October 2018.
His body, believed to have been dismembered, has not been found.
Many observers including the American CIA believe the Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed Bin Salman, authorised the killing of the journalist.
The crown prince has, however, denied any role in it.
“The court issued death sentences on five men who directly took part in the killing,” the prosecutor said in a statement.
Saudi prosecutors had said deputy intelligence chief Ahmed al-Assiri oversaw the Washington Post columnist’s killing in the kingdom’s Istanbul consulate in October 2018 and that he was advised by the royal court’s media czar Saud al-Qahtani.
However, Qahtani was investigated but not indicted “due to insufficient evidence” and Assiri was investigated and charged but eventually acquitted on the same grounds, the statement said.
Of the 11 unnamed individuals indicted in the case, five were sentenced to death, three face jail terms totalling 24 years, and the others were acquitted.
The prosecutor said that the Riyadh court hearing the case held a total of nine sessions attended by representatives of the international community as well as Khashoggi’s relatives.
“We found that Khashoggi’s murder was not premeditated,” the statement said.

News and announcements regarding consumer product recalls
The Columbus Dispatch - March 26, 2012 09:45 AM
General Motors Co is recalling 6,159 big vans and sport-utility vehicles in the United States
for possible loss of steering.
The U.S. automaker is recalling certain 2012 model-year Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans, and Chevy Suburban and GMC Yukon XL SUVs because the gear shaft could fracture, which could lead to a loss of steering and increased risk of an accident, according to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
GM said the issue was discovered by the supplier during the testing of steering gear units and testing suggested a failure would not occur until at least five months after the most severe use. The automaker said there were no known crashes, injuries or complaints related to the recall.
GM said its dealers will inspect the steering gear shaft and replace it if necessary. Letters to owners will be sent April 4.

But can cheap CCTV really do both jobs well or is it a false economy?
You see them all the time; CCTV cameras at staggeringly low prices, which seems great for something that could keep your home secure. But when there’s a price difference of hundreds of pounds between the budget version and the professionally sourced and installed system – it’s not rocket science to conclude that you get what you pay for.
Perhaps a super-cheap basic “no frills” home CCTV system camera is suitable as a crime deterrent and the general monitoring of your home but for CCTV footage to be used as evidence in court, you need it to be fit for purpose with the picture quality and detail that is sufficient to enable the identity of an individual beyond reasonable doubt.
The Health and Safety Executive website states that “picture quality and detail should be sufficient to enable the identity of a subject to be established beyond reasonable doubt – not less than 120% of the screen, i.e. the screen should show the person’s head and face close up and not show their whole body.”
If you’re looking for further information on the criteria for images to be used as evidence, the Government Surveillance Camera Commissioner has some good information and offers a guide for non-experts considering a surveillance camera system, which includes advice about whether surveillance is the right solution and mistakes to avoid. Also, the NSI website is a good source of information. It includes new guidance on video surveillance systems for use in security applications (BS EN 62676-4), and their code of practice for the design, installation and maintenance of CCTV Surveillance Systems (NCP104.3). For example, it states that for purposes of identity, a figure should typically occupy a minimum of 4 mm per pixel.
With a cheap DIY CCTV System, there are various potential issues: the video management system may not be adequate, leading to difficulties with the retrieval of footage; the recorded image may issue a grainy low-res, low-quality image that cannot identify the perpetrator without considerable doubt; the number of frames per second may be affected or inconsistent; and the infrared emitter may be inadequate for the scene, or not dispersed enough.
Generally, it seems, the more expensive the camera then the better quality the image and the higher quality and easier to use video management interface. But also, for CCTV cameras to be efficient, professional installation is recommended. There are many benefits that a specialist CCTV engineer would bring that a layperson wouldn’t – knowing the best positions for the cameras (proper installation ensures that your system is not easy to tamper with), set up of the DVR and guaranteeing optimum picture quality for instance. If a camera isn’t installed correctly not only does it do a poor job of making you feel safe or of providing you with security, but you may not be able to use the footage as evidence. Ultimately, planning and talking to an expert in the field is key to an effective system that is fit for purpose.
When it comes to CCTV, you get what you pay for. A low-cost camera is fine as a deterrent, but a good quality, correctly installed system will always be more effective in capturing footage that can be used for identification or prosecution. A good quality CCTV system can give you peace of mind that any activity near your home is being recorded around the clock, it would also need to be effectively installed and be weather and tamper resistant. This kind of system does not come cheap.
However, one affordable, but quality option we could recommend for high-definition imaging and an all-in-one intelligent surveillance solution is the Avigilon H4 Edge Solution (ES) Camera line. It records video directly to an onboard solid-state drive and includes self-learning video analytics, network video recorder functionality, and embedded Avigilon Control Center video management software.
If you’re reading this, then CCTV is an important part of the protection of your home. Of course, you want to protect yourself from intrusion but for added security you’ll want to ensure that your CCTV can capture quality images. And it’s the quality of the CCTV that makes the difference between footage that can catch a criminal and footage that cannot.

This generation will soon be drawing to a close, so now it's time to ask: What were the best franchises of the current generation? Pick 'em out.
Everyone always asks about individual games, but this is referring to the IPs with multiple installments that continued to blow everyone away. How would you rank them?
Personally, it begins and ends with Uncharted , as far as I'm concerned. Nothing is really even close; two of the three iterations in this acclaimed franchises are absolutely in the top five of the entire generation, in my opinion. And the first was certainly worthy of an elite 9+ score, too.
I think I'd go with Bioshock second, because all three of those games have been excellent as well, and the latest ( Bioshock Infinite ) easily qualifies as one of the single best games of the past six or seven years. Assassin's Creed would probably be third, especially because Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood remain two of the most accomplished and addicting games I've played in a long time, and Assassin's Creed III , despite some popular backlash, was yet another masterful production in my eyes. Black Flag is pushing it, though. Ubisoft should've taken a year off.
But what about LittleBigPlanet ? I mean, minus that kart racing game, there were two fantastic games for the PS3 and another awesome one for the Vita. In fact, if you check the scores, LBP, LBP2 and LBP Vita might have the highest average review scores behind Uncharted . Halo would've qualified if Halo 4 didn't feel so outrageously outdated to me, and I'd also like to put Gears of War on there, even though Uncharted outstripped it in every possible way. Oh, and while I'm not a fan, Mass Effect is a definite contender for the best franchise of the generation, isn't it?
If Batman: Arkham Origins is awesome, that'll be the third amazing Batman game of the generation, which means it would have to be near the top of the list. And I suppose you could make a case for MGS, even though the spin-off, Revengeance , might bring it down a little. I mean, it was a great game, but not as good as the likes of MGS4 and Peace Walker , I don't think. So, what other franchises could be considered the best of the best?

True to the Law
Authors: Goodman, Jo
Publisher: Penguin Publishing Group
Synopsis: He was on the hunt for a runaway beauty
“Find her” is the only instruction that private detective Cobb Bridger receives from Richard Mackey. The scion of a wealthy Chicago family, Mackey is desperate to know the whereabouts of the woman who disappeared from his employ, taking with her something of great value. Intrigued as much by what Mackey won’t say about the missing item as he is by Mackey’s description of the missing woman, Cobb accepts the assignment.
And the one true lie that could destroy them both
Bitter Springs, Wyoming, has a new schoolteacher who may or may not be exactly what she seems. Upon making the acquaintance of Miss Tru Morrow, Cobb begins to question the guilt of this golden-haired lady—and the protective feelings she stirs in him. His investigation hinges on understanding where the truth lies. Can he believe in Tru? Or is she just another treacherous woman out to swindle this hardened detective’s heart?

MAM VËLO OP D’SCHAFF WITH ANDY SCHLECKOn 04 April 2018
The Grand Duchy is gearing up for the 11th edition of the Verkéiersverbond’s annual event “Mam Vëlo op d’Schaff oder an d’Schoul” which will take place from 15 May to 31 July 2018. This year, the campaign is being supported by Andy Schleck, the Tour de France winner. Andy Schleck will front this campaign and has filmed a clip in which he plays the role of various workers who use a bicycle to get around – the idea being that everyone can take up this challenge.
Do you work or study in Luxembourg? If you do, then you too can take part! Make up a team of two to four people, register your team and have a go at winning one of our team prizes worth a total of €13,000! Your team mates do not have to work/study in the same place as you and the journeys do not necessarily have to be the same either. And to cut down long journeys, you can of course combine cycling with public transport.
Every team where all members have used a bike for at least a fortnight during the campaign period will qualify for the prize draw.

The Escapist's own Editor-in-Chief examines the obstacles gamers face when trying to make the jump from single player to co-op in real life.
My Player One and Only
When it comes to videogames, you don't have to be holding the controller to enjoy the experience. Josh Hilley explains why some single-player games are best played with more than one player.
The better single-player games tend to be gripping, pleasurable and have an explosive climax. So it's no surprise the years have borne witness to a number of titles where you only need one hand to play. Peter Parrish analyzes the puzzling gameplay of Artificial Girl 3.
What happens when you venture into a multiplayer world with the sole purpose of playing a single-player game? In one player's experience, you find a pretty cold reception. Jon Glover chronicles his lonely trek through PlayStation Home.

How 'Bout Those Red Sox?
Ortiz is at 15 home runs, 45 RBI. Buchholz is the AL's first 9-game winner. The team has won 4 in a row, and sits just a game outside of first place in the AL East. It's like the ball is sitting on a tee for the Sox bats, and the pitchers are throwing against cardboard cut-outs. Beltre fell over and STILL jacked one a few feet shy of the Mass Pike.
This team is on right now. Since this time last month, they are 21-8. They have only lost 1 series against Cleveland, and tied against the Royals. Drew just went down with an injury, Cameron isn't playing every day, Ellsbury is still dealing with his injuries, and Beckett and Matsuzaka have been questionable for 3 weeks now, yet this team is still rolling right along. They've quietly snuck right back into the hunt. It'll will be interesting to see how they play out this month, traveling to Colorado, San Fransisco and then back to The Chapel.

One of the most awesome and rewarding parts of keeping dwarf shrimp is being able to see generation after generation grow and mature in a short time. For the most part, breeding dwarf shrimp is an easy process. It requires keeping shrimp in the proper parameters for their breed and also a little attention to detail for success.
In order for the entire breeding process to be safe and successful it is important to ensure that several things are in place. First of all you need to be certain your water parameters are correctly calibrated for the type of shrimp you are intending to breed. The primary reason for getting the water chemistry just right, is that if the balance of different chemicals isn't correct it generates stress for the shrimp. When stressed the females will never send out the pheremones into the water stream to lure the males to them. It is also important to think about what will allow the berried females to feel safe and comfortable while carrying their eggs. If conditions are not right and a female doesn't feel like the environment is safe for her eggs she may release them prematurely causing the eggs to die off in the water column. So it is very important to have places with low water current and an out of the way place to hide from any other tank inhabitants. Berried females will often only come out from their safe hiding places to feed, prefering to stay out of the hubbub of the rest of the colony. If you watch closely, you will notice that she is constantly fanning her back legs and will often adjust the eggs under her tail. This serves to help oxygenate the growing eggs and keep them from suffocating.
Care for Young
The baby shrimp are extremely small when they hatch. They are slightly larger than a grain of sand. When they initially hatch they can be seen jumping away from their mother and shooting off to a plant or surface to rest on. The shrimp are fully capable of surviving in their new environment when they hatch, as long as there are places without strong water current and plenty of small spaces to hide in and feel safe from their gargantuan uncles and aunts. Plants such as java moss or similar mosses with lots of little crevices are ideal for the shrimp to grow up in. Adult shrimp are not normally dangerous to the youngsters, however when they swarm during feeding time the baby shrimp can have difficulty getting in to feed. I recommend being certain to spread the food rather than dropping one large clump, and also being sure that there is enough food for all the shrimp to get some. Baby shrimp will grow rapidly, within a few weeks they will be a quarter inch in size. Shrimp continue to grow throughout their life cycle. The largest shrimp being old adult females nearing 2 years of age. These females can reach nearly 2 inches in size at their largest. Baby shrimp will reach breeding age between 1-2 months.
Maintaining the Cycle
Assuming all conditions are maintained at their optimal levels, generation after generation of shrimp should constantly be breeding and producing more offspring. There are a few things to consider as the shrimp continue this cycle. Inbreeding is a real concern when you have a small colony especially. It is the greatest difficulty that many shrimp keepers face when they start with a small number of shrimp (such as 10) and allow the shrimp to breed and grow through several generations. It is important to continue to diversify the gene pool every so often to maintain healthy and vibrant shrimp. There are several ways to achieve this, from keeping multiple tanks and mixing the shrimp every so often to purchasing new shrimp at regular intervals. Another thing to keep in mind is that depending on your tank size, there will be a point where the shrimp overpopulate the tank. The actual number of shrimp necessary to overpopulate depends on the size of the tank, the quality of your filtration and the consistency of your water changes. Eventually, no matter what kind of tank you have the shrimp will reach a wall where they will, for the most part, completely stop breeding. This occurs primarily because the waste buildup from the shrimp in the tank reaches a level to pollute the water with too high nitrates. When this point is reached, the shrimp will normally stop breeding altogether to prevent nitrates from reaching dangerous levels. This can also serve as a warning sign that you may need to do some maintenance or replacement on your filter media, to ensure everything is working in tip top shape.

It’s necessary to emphasize that indie music is not only a genre. It is a musical style that encompasses several sub-genres whose sounds can be considered “electronic”, “folk” or “garage rock”. However, here are some of the quirkiest, rarest indie music subgenres out there.
Most are based only on instruments, but some may have voices in their songs. They are commonly used as alternative ambient music and have songs that can last up to ten minutes.
Some of the most representative bands of this subgenre are SigurRós, Mogwai, and Explosions in the Sky.
Shoegaze melodies tend to be strong, as the effects of the heavy guitar predominate, creating distortion. Some of the most representative bands are My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and Lush.
It’s electronic music that creates nostalgic sounds. Many experts consider this style to be dead, but its influence still lingers on new generations. Some of the most representative bands are Toro Y Moi, Neon Indian, and Washed Out.
It uses an 8-bit sound chip similar to the sounds of Nintendo and some old-school video games. These sounds are often combined with hardcore punk and metal. Crystal Castles and Horse the Band are some of the bands that represent this subgenre.
The influence they had on the alternative scene during the 1990s was immense. They are the creators of songs like “Where is my mind” that became a world anthem and a must musical reference for indie label artists.
The success SigurRós has achieved worldwide is impressive. Their shows are usually sold out. With seven albums, its four members from Iceland have reaffirmed the post-rock sub-genre.
My Bloody Valentine
With only two albums, they managed to become a cult band. Their 1991 album “Loveless” is one of the most critically acclaimed albums. The songs on this album made a whole generation fall in love. Unique on the scene, they are the top representatives of shoegazing.
The Smiths are one of the most influential bands in the UK. They became known in the ‘80s and their success was unstoppable. Their four albums became instant hits, inspiring entire generations around the world.
Indie music has grown exponentially over the years thanks to great exponents who have known how to grab people’s attention, regardless of how conventional or not they are.
The creation of these odd indie music subgenres has helped legendary bands to become the genre to be one of the most listened in the world. This proves that indie music is not just a music genre but a lifestyle in itself.
