Students are raving about their Music instructors on TakeLessons.
Check out some of these recent reviews.
Review by Michelle
"Desiree puts the fun in fundamentals!
I decided to take voice lessons for pleasure as a hobby to keep my mind off of the stresses of daily life. I had a
lot of confidence issues to get over when I started taking lessons with Desiree; mainly because I didn't want to embarrass myself like those people I make fun of on American Idol. Her non-threatening teaching style has been the perfect fit for me...although she does raise her voice at me when I judge myself too harshly, but I won't count against her ;) My confidence has soared and I feel that I'm a much bolder and more comfortable singer. Iâm enjoying every minute of discovering my voice with Desiree. I've still got some work to do but I'm confident she'll help me reach my goals."

"He's awesome. :)
He makes learning the guitar so comfortable. He makes things easier to review and doesn't mind going over things you may have forgotten.
If I could, I would get everyone I know to take lessons from him. I couldn't ask for a better teacher!"

"Steve is an excellent teacher
My son is 7 and taking piano lessons for the first time. I expected him to lose interest pretty quickly, but he absolutely
loves it! In large part due to Steve - he is very patient and let's him learn at his own pace...no pressure. He brings songs to play that my son actually knows so he stays more engaged in interested. He really goes the extra mile to show that he cares and to keep it fun. Steve has been very easy for me to work with as well. He is always very flexible and is always on time and very professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn the piano."

Review by Derek
"I've found the right person to build my career
I already had a new music career underway with two releases on the international marketplace, but I knew i
n order to compete against the masses and gain the attention of more fans, I needed to step things up a notch and push myself far beyond my safety zone. When I spoke with the folks at TakeLessons.com, they told me about Julia, about her credentials, and felt she would be the best fit for me. Julie has been nothing but a blessing! Not only does she have advanced education in music, but she also has the experience to get me where I need to be. Weekly, she has worked with me not only on voice theory and techniques, but I was able to bring my own vocal pieces that we've been working on for my album, and my singing has never been so good! If you're serious and are looking to really change your life with music, this is the person you want and need. I have no desire to go anywhere else."

"The violin teacher is great.
We satisfy with the violin teacher. First of all, she is very professional. She masters music theory and she has a lot of pe
rformance experience. Then, she teaches in proper way and she is patient with students. She focuses on not only practicing but also listening. She corrects studentsâ wrong playing actions patiently. Finally, she can teach my daughter in both English and Chinese (Mandarin). Therefore, my daughter has a rapid progress in playing violin."

San Diego, CA teacher:
Review by Courtney
"I never knew I could really, REALLY sing.
I never really considered myself a singer, and resolved to be an actor who "can sing a little bit". I started t
o study voice only to broaden that horizon however far it would go, but I wasn't expecting much. Only to, perhaps, stop being nervous or to stop seizing up at the idea of singing in front of people. But... Fawn doesn't mess around. She likes to move fast, and so do I. There is no ego in working with her. She's supportive, encouraging, and deftly knowledgable. Her ability to troubleshoot is a big part of how quickly my voice is improving. She fixed my breathing in the FIRST lesson, by the third lesson we started working on pitch (my biggest shortcoming), and while I can't say I'm there yet, I am already lightyears from where I was two months ago. She eliminates a lot of the mystery that surrounds singing, stuff I was never quite sure about despite the fact that I had a voice teacher for three years prior to moving to Los Angeles. IE: Where should I feel the resonance? Where should I NOT feel the resonance? What direction should the energy go? Etc.. It's only been a short while, but I believe I'm on my way to actually calling myself a confident, skilled singer."

Melody is a certified Speech Level Singing Instructor. She maintains this certification through the continuous rigorous training and evaluation program created by celebrity vocal instructor Seth Riggs whose students include Michael Jackson, Kelly Clarkson, Stevie Wonder, Josh Groban, and many more. Melody utilizes over 10 years of vocal study to help her students connect head and chest voice, create a strong mix voice, and extend their ranges. She creates a fun and relaxed atmosphere where mist
akes are considered part of the learning process, and thus encouraged. She has studied with Seth Riggs (CEO SLS), Greg Enriquez (SLS), Kathy Kennedy (SLS), Virginia Norwood (SLS), Guy Babusek (SLS), Charlene Chi (PHD. Voice UCSB), Dr. Randal Wagner, and Steve Mortier.
Melody has been a professional musician, vocalist, and actress since she was 16 years old. She began her career in musical theatre and graduated to film and television, starring in the independent hit "Down and Out with the Dolls." Her rolls in theatrical productions include Ti Moune in Once on This Island, Rizzo in Grease and numerable others. She has enjoyed a career as a professional vocalist performing in nightclubs, music festivals, casino's, and as an opening act for many national and touring performers. As a teacher, Melody draws from her experiences on the road, in front of the camera, and in the studio. She currently holds a Bachelor's of Music Degree from San Diego State University's Don Powell school of Music and Dance, and is a Certified SLS Vocal Technique Instructor. She teaches all ages, from young children to seasoned adults.
Personal Message: "Learning how to sing is fun!! It is also a lot of work. =) My goal for each student in every lesson is that they EXPERIENCE something new and better when it comes to vocal technique, and that they EXPERIENCE what I like to call the "happy music feeling." The perfect hybrid is when vocal technique is no longer an issue, and singing songs becomes effortless, joyful, and ripe for self expression and passion. This does not happen overnight, but with practice, dedication, and a patient impatience that keeps the student striving for perfection while simultaneously enjoying the process.
I teach all ages and I don't require an audition like many other highly trained teachers. I understand that you are coming to me to learn HOW to sing, and this is why I love beginners so much! I have spent many years studying to become the best voice teacher I can because I find teaching others the joy of singing incredibly rewarding. I understand the demands of a rigorous performance schedule, and I love the opportunity to help fine tune a working singer's vocal technique. Whether you are a beginner, a professional, or somewhere in between, I can teach you to sing higher, stronger, and faster with more ease than you probably thought possible. I look forward to working with you and your voice!"
Here are some nice things people have said about her:
"A rock chanteuse with a bold attitude and a set of seductive, versatile pipes. . " -Anthony Davis Texarkana Gazette
The Forum Newsweekly "Melody stands poised to take the national stage with a unique style and dynamic performing presence."
The Shreveport times "She sat in for a set at the Noble Savage Tavern and as soon as she hit that first chord and that first note, everybody stopped talking and faces were pointed to the stage."
Dan Garner Tipitina's
The Shreveport Times "Whether she's playing solo shows or gigs with her band, [Melody] has a keen ability to translate her emotions about dreams lost and chased into bluesy, heartfelt, tumultuous vocals."
Michael Pickett "Hey Melody! Thanks so much for jumping into the 2007 Lake Roosevelt Musicfest. You were a huge hit up here!! The mayor was sitting around with some of her volunteers and told me 'we think Melody takes the prize this year'. It was just a great addition the event and you made me look really good by just knocking everybody out like that! "
Personal thank you letter from Michael Pickett, promoter of annual Musicfest in Marcus, Washington.

SKYPE LESSONS: Since I moved to Pennsylvania from San Diego, I have begun taking all of my lessons from Seth Riggs via Skype. I also maintained almost my entire San Diego student base by teaching via Skype, and in addition starting accepting students from all over the country and the world. I now have a very busy studio with an over 70% Skype student base due to the high demand for SLS technique and a balanced approach to singing instruction. My youngest Skype student is 4 years old, and I recently held my first Skype Student integrated recital where online students performed live on a big screen from the comfort of their own homes! I'm constantly thinking of new ways to engage students from all corners of the world, create an online studio community, and offer performance and learning opportunities. Skype lessons are a great option for those without access to good vocal technique instructors or those who have tight schedules and prefer not to battle traffic on the way to the voice studio.
*** Studio Equipment *** Keyboard, piano, microphone, Guitars.
*** Travel Equipment *** Will travel for: Studio coaching for artist recording.

Great first lesson! The violin can be more complicated than I knew, but I am loving learning to play it!
I've been teaching piano since my teen years, even before I received my music degree. I have extensive experience in teaching piano, church music, organ, and theory and composition.
In my years I've been involved in professional piano teachers organizations as the National Guild of Piano Teachers and Music Teachers National Organization and have occupied leadership positions in these organizations.
I have had articles published in professional piano pedagogy journals and presently write for my blogs -- Piano Lessons PLUS Blog and Blogging at Piano Teacher Press .
I've written an
d have had recorded music for Sheet Music Plus and Piano Teacher Press where I publish books and compositions for piano students.
I am particularly proud of the work I've done with the young pre school beginner having written piano methods The Keyboard Kids and The Discovery Piano System.
I would love the opportunity to teach you or your children and share my love of music with you.

My daughter recently started taking Piano lessons with Mr.Dan. During the first class, Mr.Dan analyzed her level of expertise and interests in music to understand where she stands. Based on that, he suggested a plan for her to learn further. It works well and she is all excited now. We look forward to many future lessons. We highly recommend him.

We introduced Piano to our son at age six. We’re thrilled with his progress. We appreciate Mr. Severino’s patience and ability to teach young children, his knowledge and love for Music. We look forward to many future lessons! We highly recommend Mr. Severino and his teaching methods.
Jack April 6, 2016
One of Mr. Severino's greatest attributes is his patience in fostering a love of music in small very active children. All 4 of my kids owe a great deal of their musical talents to Mr. Dan
I was educated on organ and classical piano as a child through late teenage years, playing and winning competitions regularly. I received a B.S. Mechanical Engineering and worked in the corporate world as design engineer and software sales manager. Later as an entrepreneur, I created and ran a design and retail business.
My interest in classical music performance renewed as a mid-life adult. During the past five years I have been trained by a highly respected performance and pedagogical leader and attended summer workshops where I received private training by a Juilliard graduate and conce
rt pianist. I also have acquired an in-depth knowledge of college level theory through private tutoring.
I have attended many educational conferences, seminars, and master classes and participate regularly in recitals. I currently work as a substitute church pianist.
My life experiences have given me the ability to communicate well with various types of people and styles of learners. I do not utilize only one method series as I structure my curriculum to the individualized needs of each of my students. It is my goal to not only teach the proper technique and repertoire of the piano but to bring the peace and joy of music learning and playing to my adult students.

When a grid fails to be supplied with electric power, a photovoltaic generation system connected to the grid may possibly start islanding. Therefore, the photovoltaic generation system needs to have a protective equipment for detecting not only fault of the grid and the system but also islanding of the system. This paper describes the protective equipment that prevents the photovoltaic generation system connected to the grid from starting islanding. It does so by detecting (1) a periodical frequency variation of voltage caused at the connection by output of a reactive power variation of a photovoltaic inverter and (2) a rapid change of harmonic voltage caused by exciting characteristics of a pole transformer.

By Deborah Bailey,
AFRO D.C. Editor
President Biden has signed the 730-page Inflation Reduction Act into law. Your senators and congressmen are at home in their districts until Labor Day and not much in the way of legislation is predicted to happen between now and the 2022 mid-term elections in November.
According to the House Democratic cheat sheet on the benefits of the “historic” Inflation Reduction Act, it is scheduled to make a “historic down payment on deficit reduction to fight inflation.”
This will be done by investing in domestic energy production and manufacturing and by reducing carbon emissions by roughly 40 percent by 2030. The bill also includes major provisions for reducing health care costs and changing the tax code to raise revenue from Corporate America.
But what does the Inflation Reduction Act mean for Black families in our everyday lives?
The AFRO wanted the view from both the White House – and from “our house.” So, we asked White House Climate Advisor, Gina McCarthy, and LaTanya Brown-Richardson Ed.D., professor of economics and director of the Howard University Honors Program, to weigh in.
We wanted to know if the White House and our “HBCU House” at Howard were on the same page about this major legislation doing any good for Black Americans– who are bearing the brunt of inflation, according to a recent poll by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
“It’s going to save families money, it will mean more energy jobs,” said McCarthy, regarding the $369 billion dollars of climate and environmental justice provisions included in the Inflation Reduction Act.
“This is about making clean energy affordable for families,” McCarthy said.
Black communities are more than 1.5 times more likely to be exposed to pollutants in the air, than compared to White communities, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. These pollutants lead to costly chronic health problems from asthma and lung disease to cancer and even COVID-19.
“This will change lives in our environmental justice communities that have been inundated with legacy pollution and heavy-duty vehicles spewing pollution into the atmosphere,” McCarthy continued.
In an exclusive interview with the AFRO, we asked McCarthy to “get real” about what the major climate provisions mean in the Inflation Reduction Act. As well as what it will really do to put money back in the pockets of African Americans and other communities of color.
“This is about making (energy) affordable for families. We have great electric appliances, terrific heat pumps, and solar systems that can be put into people’s homes,” McCarthy said. “There are significant rebates and tax credits that will make these technologies affordable to a breadth of communities that have never seen this before.”
But it’s not just about placing green energy appliances in Black homes – as healthy as that is for the environment and our own bodies. McCarthy said that the result of going green will be felt in our pocketbooks.
“What that will mean is hundreds of dollars of savings every single year for decades. These systems will allow you to save money on your electric bill and at the pump,” she said.
“The technologies are here. The Federal Government will be doing this in a way that allows them to bear the cost,” she said.
The White House is supposed to get excited about legislation that it has promoted for more than a year. But we wanted to go to one of our HBCU Houses to check whether the White House press on the Inflation Reduction Act and its impact on the Black community was substance – or show.
Professor Brown-Robinson said the key to the Inflation Reduction Act for Black America is to examine the range of the legislation’s climate and health care provisions.
“The key components of the Inflation Reduction Act that impact Black Americans directly are the expansion in Medicare benefits, lowering of health care costs, and investment in disadvantaged communities due to environmental injustices,” Brown-Robertson said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has researched health disparities in the African-American community for more than a generation and has linked higher costs for healthcare for Black Americans as a critical issue, said Brown-Robertson.
“Regarding Medicare, research has shown that Black Medicare recipients have more healthcare costs related challenges than Whites. The act will help release some of the burdens of health care expenses, which have disproportionately affected Black recipients,” she added. There are other significant financial stressors in the Black Community, such as the cost of college and housing, which the Federal Government can and should address.
“The Inflation Reduction Act is moving in the right direction by addressing immediate and long-term health care and environmental cost-related issues that have plagued the Black community for years,” said Brown-Robertson. “However, more needs to be done to assist the overall financial hardships that many Black households face, such as student debt and significant housing costs.”

Cleo Ice Queen has been grinding hard lately as we know she has big dreams she plans on making a reality. The Zambian rapper was nominated at the SA Hip Hop Awards back in 2012 and was 2nd place in Big Brother (The Chase) in 2013. She has since dropped several hits since then and is currently working on her album that’s scheduled to drop later this year. Here is how the interview went:
How would you best describe Cleo Ice Queen’s music?
Cleo Ice Queen music is hip hop, its timeless, its story telling, its turn-up, its educating and its entertainment!!
When did you start rapping?
I starting rapping at about age 6. Rapping along to TuPac, Coolio, JayZ, Eminem, Missy Elliot etc
When did you realise it was something you wanted to make a career out off?
Hmmmm…well I always fantasized about being a mega rap star, but only took it as a serious career at about age 20
Who are your musical influences?
Im influenced by many things but musically, I would say the likes of Lauren Hill, Beyonce, Bob Marley, Nicki Minaj, AKA, Pompi to mention a few.
Is there a particular artist or song that made you want to take on music as a career?
Well, I would have to say Lil Bow Wow at the time, Missy Elliot, Beyonce and Nicki Minaj
Where do you draw your inspiration from?
I draw inspiration from everyday life, my surrounding, my struggles, my triumph, the youth of our generation and the great musical legends of our time.
How do you prepare for your shows?
I go over my set in my mind, I like to be in silence…in a meditative sort of mode. I inhale and exhale..if you know what I mean…*wink* lol
Can you run us through your normal working day? What do you get up to during the week?
Well, my typical day starts with getting my 5 year old daughter ready for school, after that I hit the gym. Then, I either go to studio or handle some of my personal business, thereafter, I check in to RockFM Zambia 96.5, from 3pm to 7pm. After hours, its either I go back home, sundowners with my sister and close friends or quality time with bae..lol…don’t ask :p
Besides music what does the Ice Queen spend her time doing?
Well…mothering the greatest nation…what else?? Lol kidding..but not kidding. I read, I play…play hard…I listen to mellow music, I work on my clothing which is due later this year, its called Purple Haze. I strategise, I plan, I rest, and of course I WATCH SERIES!!!!
When can we expect a full length project from you?
You can expect that in October. I birth my album GeminICE…in the time of scorpio’s…its gonna cool the summer and sting a few folks…lol!!!!
What have you learnt about pursuing your dreams?
I have learnt to be persistent yet patient. To take lead with grace and tactfulness. To aim high and dream big yet set realistic goals. I’ve learnt to forgive myself, to love myself in all my neutrality, flaws and all. I’ve learnt not to look down on anyone and to help others whenever I can. I’ve learnt to overpromise and aspire to live up to my word. I’ve learnt to give respect in order to earn it. I’ve learnt that money is not everything but planting that seed and building that empire is. Lastly, I’ve learnt to dress well, smell like a million bucks and BE ON TIME!!!!!!! LOL
What’s the biggest challenge you have had to overcome?
Challenges are always inevitable, but the biggest is having to TRANSFORM and not CONFORM. I have to educate my audience about me and what my music is about, instead of going with the trend or whats hot. Being a solo indie artist and a single mom also gets quite challenging but that’s a challenge I love to conquer day by day!
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In five years I see myself being well grounded and steady on the road to wealth..I see myself inspiring and uplifting nations. I see my clothing line flourishing, my music becoming more mature, timeless and classic, probably will be playing an instrument by then…guitar maybe. my acting should have kicked off by then and I should have played a role in making African movies and TV a force to reckon with. I see an addition of children…I love kids…and also I should be done with my degree in psychology by then…which will pave way for me to later having a talk show and channel/network..kinda like Oprah. More Tyra…less Oprah…lol!!! Oprya Ice Queen…lol!! God’s grace, God’s will
Where are you currently based?
I’d like to believe I am an African citizen. So based in Africa. Lol!!! Lusaka, Zambia *wink*
I know all the gents want to know if you are seeing anyone?
Of course they would love to know….. *tongue out*
What do you look for in a man?
I look for Jesus…in a way. Lol!!! No really though… Kindness, love, patience, compassion….he should be willing to die for me……
What do you do for fun?
I dance, I driiiiink, (responsibly ofcourse), I hang out with positive folks, I take my daughter and her friends out to play, I rock harrrd!!! I *inhale, exhale* breathe *cough cough* *wink* LOL!!!!
Who are your top 5 hip hop artists on the continent?
2. Jay Rox
3. Cleo Ice Queen
4. Khuli Chana
5. Ice Prince
What advice would you like to give up and coming musicians?
Stay strong, work hard, keep your passion alive, stay focused, driven and determined, have faith and trust in God.
Any words of wisdom to the youth?
My whole interview has bursts of wisdom..or atleast I would like to believe. Indulge young youth and be inspired. *much much love*

PSY 260 Module 4 Assignment 2 Family Dynamics
Assignment 2: Family Dynamics
Family dynamics play a major role in how children develop. These influences include structure, expectations, parenting styles, and involvement. To understand more about how childhood experiences with your family have influenced current identification of self, take a few minutes and think back to those days.
Analyze the role that family structure, expectations, parenting styles, and involvement of caregivers played in your development.
Reflect on your experiences and share any that you are comfortable sharing. You can use questions such as the following to guide your reflection:
What was the best thing that your family said about you or did for you? Try to remember one exact day when that was said or done for you. Which person did this? Remember now what you felt then. When do you feel this way now?
Did you have a nickname? How did you feel about it?
Did family members tell you what you would end up being or doing? Was it what you wanted to be or do? How did you respond?
How do you think your family would have described you to a close friend of theirs? What were they most concerned about for you?
Would you do or react to things differently now than you did then? Why?
Make sure you evaluate your experiences in the context of major theories and concepts of cognitive, social, and physical development during middle childhood. Support your responses by citing information from the online notes and textbook and other scholarly sources. For example, describe the cognitive stage you might have been in at the time of specific events, according to Piaget, Erikson, or Freud. How did this influence how you interpreted the events? You can also discuss the parenting style that you think was used by your parents/caregivers.
Write a 3–4-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.doc.

In an event highlighted by the ceremony acknowledging the 26 seniors, the Oregon Track and Field team produced its final showcase at the Oregon Twilight as it prepares for the Pac-12 Championships next week.
The seniors were recognized by the coaches in front of the west grandstand before an announced crowd of 4,044. Then the seniors took one last victory lap around the track.
For the meet it was the 800 that proved to be the featured event as both the men and women’s field was loaded with current and former Oregon athletes.
The men’s race featured Oregon’s Sam Prakel, Austin Collins, Jordan Latt, Russell Hornsby and Alec Smith. Joining them were Nike OTC Elite runners Elijah Greer and Charles Jock. Greer is a former Oregon runner.
The pace was substantiated by Greer who was running as the pace setter. He dropped out at the final 300.
The winner was Oregon Track Club’s Harun Abda, who narrowly beat out Cas Loxsom with a time of 1:47.33. Loxsom finished second with a time of 1:47.47.
“Charles is my roommate and Elijah is my teammate, so yeah, it kind of gives me bragging rights,” Abda said. “For one week maybe they will make me breakfast or something.”
On the women’s side, Oregon’s Claudia Francis was the lone current Duck racing alongside two alums, Becca Friday (running for Rogue AC/Adidas) and Anne Kesselring (Oregon Track Club).
In another competitive race, it was Katherine Katsanevakis of Australia who won with a time of 2:03.63. Kesselring finished fifth, Francis finished seventh and Friday finished eighth.
The Oregon throwers continued their strong season with another impressive performance at the Twilight.
Senior Laura Bobek won the women’s discuss with a final mark of 50.43 while Ryan Hunter-Simms finished second in the men’s discuss with a throw of 153-03.
In the women’s hammer it was Oregon alum Britney Henry who won the event (216-03) while Oregon’s Jillian Weir finished second (197-00).
The best performance from a thrower came via unattached athlete and former Duck Cyrus Hostetler, who shattered the Twilight meet record with a top throw of 263-05. He beat the previous mark set by Brian Crouser that stood since 1989.
Ashton Eaton and Brianne Theisen-Eaton made appearances as well Friday night. Eaton competed in the men’s 110 hurdles and the 4×400 relay while Theisen-Eaton took part in the women’s high jump and javelin.
Eaton finished first in both of his events. He was able to beat freshman Devon Allen with a time of 13.47 in the 110-meter hurdles. That mark beat his own Twilight record he set in 2011. Then the 4×400 team cruised to a first place finish with a final time of 3:08.03.
Theisen-Eaton was able to win the high jump with a final jump of 5-10 and finished sixth in the javelin with a throw of 142-05.
“It wasn’t that great of a day to be honest,” Theisen-Eaton said. “I don’t like to use the weather as an excuse so I’m not going to. I have a few weeks to iron it out, so it should get fixed hopefully.”
While Theisen-Eaton was unhappy with her result in the javelin, Oregon’s Liz Brenner was very pleased. The sophomore multi-sport athlete finished second in the event with a final throw of 159-04.
Freshman Brittany Mann continued her strong outdoor season with another victory, as she won the women’s shot put with a distance of 53-06.50. The throw was only half an inch short of her personal record.
Oregon’s Ashante Horsley made her imprint on the meet. First she won the women’s 400 with a lifetime best time of 54.58. She followed that up with a third place finish in the women’s 200 with a time of 24.70.
The final two events of the night were the women’s 1500 and the men’s 1500 invite.
The women’s race was won by Lauren Johnson of Nike OTC Elite as she crossed the line in 4:16.97. Right behind her was Oregon sophomore Annie Leblanc with a time of 4:18.05.
The conclusion of the Twilight featured a strong field in the men’s 1500 invite, including Mac Fleet, Trevor Dunbar, Jeramy Elkaim and Daniel Winn of Oregon as well as former Ducks Matt Miner and A.J. Acosta.
The finish was as close as they come as the race was decided in a photo finish. Ben Blakenship came in first (3:39.33), followed by Jordan McNamara (3:39.40) and Fleet (3:40.00).
Click here for an entire list of results from all of the events at the Oregon Twilight.
The next meet on the schedule for Oregon will be the Pac-12 Championships in Pullman, Wash. starting Saturday, May 17.

A look at the games coming out on Xbox 360 and Xbox One this coming week, 13th–19th July 2015
Been playing PGA Tour via the Access pass for a couple of days. It's alright I guess but no world beater. Not yet tempted into a full purchase.
Yeah I keep hearing people say that the lack of courses and character customizations make this one a pass. Which sucks to hear. Also keep hearing The Golf Club is better too. I don't know what to do now... I just want to play a good golf game..
Get the Golf Club then. Its hard but great. Its just like real golf. Ain't no spiining the ball in mid air when you stuff your shot.
Not buying this unless there are at LEAST the same amount of courses as there are on TW 14 and game face and green jacket ceremony....

Uncategorized__ WHATNOT when acquiring an Apple View to do
Ms. Kikibruce, don't let them have with the document if they don't state thank you. The valuation of the archetypal writer's intent is absolutely sensible, along with the critical review of the movie adaptation is extremely clever. This aids in yielding a suitable ending to the article. An business of the connection between the reason and effect is now the most critical section of an article. There are a big variety of advantages of studying yet another language. The symbolic utilization of folks of distinct regions within the exemplar evokes an emotional reaction within the reader and produces a contemporary relevance within their view.
To be sure it doesn??t occur to you, practice your mind to obey you in advance.
Understanding a complete language is a superb package of understanding by itself. 2015 widely utilised to disciplinary tackle. That's my advice to you personally individually if you're a instructor who'd like to discontinue. This will assist to observe where the parents stand on the difficulty and also, it might provide the school with the vital information to move forward with implementation for example moving pupils into various classrooms, one where the class is approved by parents and one where it's n't. Teacher unions have created ridiculous demands to be a teacher, and such necessities ai not cheap. This Act certifies that every individual pupil should get a deserving education no matter their nationality or socio economic status. The increase of modern training is an excellent method to begin One dilemma might function as the age-old problem of how exactly to actually teach deaf kids to study. In reality, it just thinks in short-term alternatives as a means to make children triumph, as an alternative to really creating them learn. Ethos of meanings between these prepared.
The copyright is elective, but is unquestionably anything i prefer to-do.
If magicians place any value on those factors, it isn't shown within the books. Recording artists should understand their effects on kids and teens and effort to influence them all to good issues. In the big event the discourse remains there, I might advise reading it and envisioning that it's about you and folks of various contest, nationality, ethnicity, etc.. The way where he cites all of the incidents is incredibly persuasive and additionally the rhetoric is really nicely maintained. This novel is critical as it discusses the multitudinous areas of Africanamerican culture. In 1976, racial pressure remains operating large. It establishes the amount of pressure viewed as suitable indirect reaction into a subject's behavior. I comprehend the issue of the situation, but I really do not accept this.
Reports do not stay monotonous.
The query can be a piece of your introduction, or it will make a huge name. Dark individuals, particularly black men were disenfranchised in time of the novel. I'm heading to become a history teacher. I won't educate you the full story now. Let us have a tad of his own story. Since the start of calendar year, students trends and urban dictionary I had a poor feeling about the occupation. This is actually the battle where people of the Latino community combat of their evening - to-day lifestyles. Inside her stories, charge card fraud, how. The result of the court's determination turned out to be a nasty one.
Remove what's needless and increase where you think the discussion shown by you is weak.
Some officers have a tendency to abuse their powers and escape with the violence. For the aim of clearness, let's agree to restrain ourselves to the USA of America as our conceptual testing place. Abner Louima was another specific person who endured abuse from the authorities due to his race.

Twenty one US embassies and consulates were shut in the Middle East and North Africa on Sunday after a warning about a possible Al Qaeda terror attack.
The UK has closed its embassy in Yemen for two days and the UK Foreign Office is urging Britons to leave Yemen. The French and German embassies were also shut.
There is tight security around the US and British embassies in Yemen’s capital Sana’a and cars are being stopped and searched at nearby checkpoints.
One Yemeni soldier, Ala’a Moshtag, promised Yemeni security forces were on high alert. “These threats will not be carried out as long as we are the security men and we are here, also Yemeni people are here. Yemen will be safe and nothing bad will happen to it,” he said.
The US has issued a worldwide travel warning to Americans until the end of August. It is urging travellers to be on the alert for possible terrorist attacks on public transport and at tourist destinations.
The warning came after US intelligence officials reportedly intercepted emails between senior Al Qaeda members. It is claimed the emails discussed attacks against American interests in the region.
Meanwhile, Interpol has issued a separate global security alert, regarding jail breaks linked to al-Qaeda in nine countries.
Some analysts have suggested that emphasising the work of the National Security Agency in intercepting terrorist emails is a good way to deflect from the controversy over revelations about the US’s mass surveillance programme of citizens around the world.

Adrienne Rich in "Planetarium" describes how she relates to the stars, how she is "a galactic cloud so deep...an instrument in the shape/ of a woman trying to translate pulsations / into images for the relief of the body / and the reconstruction of the mind." (further fab poem excerpt below)
Select a galaxy or constellation and write about it, either from the poetry of its name or image, how it resides inside you, or where you carry it within or express it.
Here are some images of galaxies to inspire (click "images" to see more)... clickable pictures of constellations... and here, for the science geek poetic sparks, what are galaxies? (from NASA)
keywords: constellation, poem, [poet's moniker]
Excerpt from "Planetarium" by Adrienne Rich
...Heartbeat of the pulsar
heart sweating through my body
The radio impulse
pouring in from Taurus
I am bombarded yet I stand
I have been standing all my life in the
direct path of a battery of signals
the most accurately transmitted most
untranslatable language in the universe
I am a galactic cloud so deep so invo-
luted that a light wave could take 15
years to travel through me And has
taken I am an instrument in the shape
of a woman trying to translate pulsations
into images for the relief of the body
and the reconstruction of the mind.
Adrienne Rich's poetry is reprinted in entirety here at the Poetry Foundation.

Slick vocals, catchy tunes, a more mature sound and empowering lyrics dominate the first full-length studio album from Fifth Harmony, a five-person girl group that gained fame from the reality-television show “The X Factor.” The album, “Reflection,” was released Jan. 30.
Fifth Harmony’s sound has matured significantly since the first EP the group released in 2013, titled “Better Together,” as it is clear the girls are inclining toward rhythm and blues and hip-hop as opposed to bubblegum pop. However, the songs remain fun and youthful, and nearly every track on the album is full of positivity and female empowerment.
The first single off the album, “BO$$,” is a fierce contender for one of the best girl-power anthems in recent history. The song proclaims that girls don’t need a man to be successful with lyrics like, “working for my money, ’cause that’s what my momma taught me, so yo ass better show me some respect.” In addition, the song references the eminently powerful and independent female figures Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey.
Like “BO$$,” many of the songs use pop-culture references to promote female independence and self-confidence, such as “Them Girls Be Like,” “Brave Honest Beautiful” and notably the track “Like Mariah,” which references the singer Mariah Carey and even samples the melody from her song “Always Be My Baby.”
The track “Worth It,” which features Kid Ink, has the most musically unique sound on the album. It’s a jazzy, hip hop–inspired tune with saxophone riffs in the chorus and strong bass throughout.
The record also displays the vocal prowess of Fifth Harmony, both as individuals and as a group. Most of the tracks feature the girls individually mastering strong belts and complicated riffs, and singing impressive harmonies as a group.
As a whole, “Reflection” is a commendable first full record from Fifth Harmony, and if the group continues to grow in this manner, it is certain to have even bigger and better things to come.

A personalized essay is a personalized academic article written-to-specific detail with a peer, a pupil or an external writing service. Unlike a peer-written essay, a custom essay written by a pupil, or a custom suit made by a professional tailor, is one which is written according to the punctuation check specifications of this professor. The word”custom” in custom essay, signals that the essay was composed, with some input from the individual student or author who has finished the work. Normally, essays are handed in by the pupils themselves. But some faculties and schools need that written homework to be handed in as well, so the instructor is going to have an opportunity to see the written explanation of the assignment and accept or reject it.
Essays written by outside writers for use by the instructors within the university or college are called”externship” essays. By way of instance, in business school, pupils would have to compose a”company essay,” which can be read and critiqued by another person with a similar topic. Although not a customized essay, these types of writings are generally accepted and used as reference materials or guideposts for your pupils as they attempt to complete their coursework. This also means that the outside writer has some control over the content and style, which are in contrast to a pupil who has only a tiny input in the introduction of the customized essay.
Some authors have a natural gift for essay-writing and have been proven to create a bit of literature that would easily win any award for excellence. For these authors, custom essays may mean that they will need to take some time and preparation to fully research a subject, as there are usually no guidelines available to ascertain what ought to be written in a given subject. As such many fantastic writers are willing to commit the time required to ensure their customized essay is totally researched. Such writers often go above and beyond in the study they conduct, in order to ensure that their customized essay provides as much original content as possible. Their works might even be read by a number of the distinguished individuals and institutions which write the judging panels who review essays in the prestigious literary contests.
There are also writers who don’t possess the natural talent for essay-writing, but are extremely proficient at picking topics that interest their readers and help them with their writing. In cases like this, the author might be willing to pay someone to write a custom essay for her or him. The custom essay author’s services are generally sought after by students who want extra help with their research and writing and would be not able to write their own due to time limitations. Along with hiring a writer, the student could also be able to get hold of an art professor, who has experience with drawing and painting, write a short story, or assist by writing a report. Some art schools may also give pupils work to reproduce and give to them as a form of a class assignment.
A writer, whose rates are in line with those charged by specialist essay-writing providers, is generally able to write custom essays in 2 weeks or less. It follows that he or she can devote the time required researching the subject, ensuring that the facts and figures are correct, then putting together a concise and informative article. Since the content is her or his idea and the main reason sentence comma corrector for writing it, the essay will almost certainly be their very best work.
It must be mentioned that many authors find it difficult to get work because their prices are too large. For this, some writers turn to internet custom paper writing services. With these services, the writer only pays for the custom made paper he or she actually utilize in their assignment. The writing service provider then sends the appropriate customized essay to the author for the quantity of custom paper he or she asks. Most online writing solutions will permit the customer to produce a paper for as few as two hours for as long as four full days.
