You really need to meditate on each note, we have some serious bass zen going on but this is what it takes. I cannot stress enough how important this boring simple exercise is to your ear development. You’ll be singing Do Re Do Re Do Re while your bass is sounding a consistent Do Do Do Do Do – creating a drone. Now once you have that down, repeat it but only play “Do” on your bass. ![]() For example sing and play the following at 40 bpm, changing notes every 2 clicks:ĭoing it over such a long interval is important, you need to really let your ears soak in each tone. Once you feel comfortable that you can sing a scale in tune, focus on each interval. Just make it part of your practice routine, anytime you play a scale you sing it as well. Play along with your instrument as you sing these scales. This is important though, you have to be able to sing these tones in key. ![]() This is the classic Do-Re-Mi drill from grade school, if you don’t remember the notes it goes like this: Part two will take this another step farther, so make a point to work on these exercises in preparation for more. ![]() Without sounding too corny, seriously try to clear your mind and immerse yourself in the individual tones, there’s a lot of subtlety here. I like to think of them as musical meditation. These are also very plain-clothes, salt-of-the-Earth, non-flashy drills. Each one builds on the abilities learned in the last. Also transcription will become much easier and this is one of the most important steps in developing a soloing style for jazz.įor this lesson the exercises are very sequential. If you have developed your ability to hear quickly and accurately, you’ll never be lost in a tune and you can get through most obstacles in a gig on the spot. If you can tell that a bird chirping is higher than a dog barking you can learn this, we just have to work to where our ears can distinguish finer and finer pitch differences.įinally, why bother? In the gigging world the musician with the “biggest” ears wins. Remember that these are all a process of refinement. I make a point to do singing exercises regularly (and I am NOT a trained singer by any stretch of the imagination) and it gets easier over time. Over time I’ve found that these exercises have been extremely useful in my musical development. As a grounded bassist and otherwise instrumental player I don’t really relish the idea of singing a lot… that’s why I’m an instrumentalist, and why no videos are included with this lesson (believe me it’s for the better). I’ll admit that ear training is difficult for me. If you make a regular point to practice ear training it will pay off. I think this is an excuse because ear training can be abstract and difficult, do not believe this. Incredibly, I’ve heard other musician’s say “I don’t want, it means I won’t enjoy music anymore.” WHAT?!! That’s like saying you don’t want to see color because it diminishes your ability to enjoy art. This is also learnable with practice.Įar training will not diminish your ability to enjoy music. minor third, descending diatonic scale, etc. Relative pitch is equally important (and more-so for certain types of playing) and is the art of hearing the relationships between tones even if you don’t know the exact note e.g. ![]() The best analogy is to think of describing different shades of color to people. It’s not that you suddenly can call out every note in every tune rather it gives you a deeper perception of music. Learned perfect pitch is a very subtle thing. A common misconception we’ve got to dispel right away, perfect pitch is learnable, but your expectations need to be reasonable. Ear training is a broad term used to cover two aural developmental practices – perfect pitch and relative pitch. First lets cover a few points about what ear training is and isn’t and then we’ll get to the exercises. It’s a strange concept, but becoming an active and educated listener pays off in a huge way. An important part of every musician’s evolution is ear training.

![]() Rubens's major business was altarpieces, particularly suitable for an artist who enjoyed working on a grand scale. He also added a circular sculpture hall, based on the Pantheon, to the house. He designed it himself in an Italian style. He built a large studio to accommodate his pupils and assistants (he received far too many commissions to complete them all single-handedly). Rubens could now afford to buy a grand house in a fashionable part of Antwerp. His reputation had preceded him, and in 1609 at the age of 33 he was appointed court painter to the rulers of the Netherlands, the Archduke Albert and his wife Isabella.The following year, he married his own Isabella - Isabella Brandt. Once home, Rubens decided to stay in the city. He left immediately for Antwerp, but by the time he arrived she had died. In 1608 news came that Rubens's mother was dying. For eight years, he travelled and worked in Spain, copying and incorporating the techniques of Renaissance and classical art. It was a prestigious position for a young man, but Rubens found it stifling and began training as an artist.Īs soon as he had completed his training, he set out for Italy in order to see for himself the great Renaissance and classical works that he knew from copies. His first job, at the age of 13, was as court page to a countess. Peter Paul Rubens was born in Siegen in Germany, but from the age of 10 he lived and went to school in Antwerp. He was clearly a charming and attractive companion, described as having 'a tall stature, a stately bearing, with a regularly shaped face, rosy cheeks, chestnut brown hair, sparkling eyes but with passion restrained, a laughing air, gentle and courteous'. Not only was he an enormously successful painter whose workshop produced a staggering number of works but he also played an important diplomatic role in 17th-century European politics. Mars has a large purple moon, which was never previously seen until “BMO”.Rubens was a remarkable individual.Once King Man establishes himself as the ruler of Mars, Margles statues populate the landscape as well as buildings resembling King Man's head.Moe's interest in Mars is explored again in " BMO," in which BMO is sent on a terraforming mission to the red planet.However, events shown in " Orgalorg" suggest the colony existed since at least ancient Egyptian times, so Moe's blueprints could merely be observations made based on an already existing colony. It is possible the colony was designed by Moe, the founder of MO Co. In the episode " The More You Moe, The Moe You Know," blueprints of the Martian colony appear in the background of one of Moe's memories.It also looks similar to Cowboy Bebop's Mars, where humans also live in domes because the rest of Mars cannot be terraformed.There are Mars symbols on many of the structures. The symbol is a circle with an arrow emerging from it, pointing at an angle to the upper right, interpreted as the shield and spear from the ancient Roman war god Mars.Normal Man returns to Mars in " Normal Man" and becomes the new ruler, King Man. In "Astral Plane," Grob Gob Glob Grod sacrifices himself in order to save Mars from an off-course comet. After Lincoln finds out what really happened, he makes a deal with Death in which Jake will be brought back to life in exchange for Lincoln's immortality. Jake (currently transformed into Magic Man's image) is convicted and executed. However, Magic Man turns Jake into a copy of himself to fool the Martians. In "Sons of Mars," Grob Gob Glob Grod attempts to capture Magic Man and bring him back to Mars. He wreaked havoc in Mars by doing multiple horrible acts like turning water into hair, bringing shadows to life, and conjoining the limbs of all Martian citizens. More than 200 years before the start of the series, Magic Man loses his wife Margles to the deity GOLB, which drove him mad. It is currently inhabited by Martians and was formerly ruled by Abraham Lincoln.įor thousands of years, Lincoln ruled as the king of Mars. The courthouse is surrounded by a force field which can be opened and closed. Only a small portion of Mars is shown in " Sons of Mars." The portion that is shown is an amphitheater which is used as a courthouse. ![]() Get rich or die trying… in the 25th century! Astroneer is a game focused on the exploration of planets, there to be mined for their riches.

One of the weirdest survival games out there, RimWorld spent quite some time in early access before having a full release on steam with critical acclaim. The game has a randomly generated narrative, which means that every single game is different from the other due to a lot of randomness.Įvery run, you’ll assume the control of three survivors of a space accident that must survive in a strange and hostile planet. Each one of them has a different set of skills, and a flaw that drives them unable to do certain kinds of things. A farmer specialized in plantation and food gathering will not be able to be designated to research and development, for example. RimWorld is a great pick for people who are looking for survival with a side of micromanaging. Maybe the definitive true survival experience in games. Without even having any clothes on, you are thrown into this island all you really have at the beginning is a rock. From then on, you’ll need to face problems like hunger, thirst and cold to survive, making it so you’ll need to be on the move from the moment you open your eyes up until you logoff, and even after logging off you are at risk of being raided by other players. Rust spent a lot of time on early access, but it was eventually release to a very active user base that still plays to this day on stable servers. Besides trying to find ways to survive, new weapons, food and even a home to call your own, you’ll be required to interact with other players, who may become allies or try to hunt you down. A must for survival games’ fans that appreciate a down-to-earth, classic experience. ![]() In a mix between Rust and the Hunger Games series, The Culling also throws the player in an island in the middle of nowhere with the sole objective of surviving and being the last man standing. Naturally, this means that alliances are volatile since in the end there can only be one. A good pick for those looking for an intense pvp experience. ![]() Oh, and the arena gradually diminishes too, to make it so it’s easier to run into other players, so… there’s that. Good luck!Īs the sole survivor of plance accident, your character finds themselves on a lost forest, needing to first and foremost find a way to fend off the dangers brought forth by mother nature herself. ![]() Since that’s a little too easy, apparently, there’s also a mutant cannibal tribe coming for you, waiting to get a drop on you at any moment, making it so you’ll need to run away, hide or arm yourself to the teeth so they will become the hunted.Ī roots survivor experiences with great tinges of horror. Well, the game that starts with the number 7 naturally has to appear of the 7th position on the list. 7 Days to Die also brings the horror present in other entries in this list. In a world taken over by the zombie apocalypse, your task at hand here is to live and not end up becoming zombie food.Īs an online game, you’ll also have the option to interact with other players and form alliances… or use them as zombie bait. You know, whatever catches your drift, I’m not judging. With a much greater focus on hostile environments, Subnautica takes the player to visit the underwater depths of an alien world.

No need for codecs, all you need is a disc or video file to open with VLC. Another media player widely accepted is VideoLAN, a free media player that plays virtually anything.

It supports many file formats, DVDs and Blu-rays, be it either 2D or 3D. TotalMedia Theatre is a really good choice for movie playback. Or play it in both modes, but with some problems like not being able to navigate in menus. For example it might play the movie in one of the two modes but won’t do it in the other. That can happen either in Full Navigation mode or Quick and Simple mode. Sometimes it can get glitchy trying to watch a movie. Whenever you play a movie from a DVD or Blu-ray disc it can display information about it like release name, rating category, director, actors/actresses etc. As soon as you insert the disc into the optical drive, the program will connect to its server and decrypt the protection code. Protected movies can be played too, thanks to the decryption feature that this program has.

A navigation menu will come up and you can browse for the file or disc and open it. Well, from there you can open not just a video file, but a DVD or Blu-ray as well. When you first launch the program the main window will open, and the only available option is to open a file. It has a very simple interface in order to keep memory consumption low.

If you are enjoying a video and you want to take a still image from what you are watching, the screen capture feature is simple to use. This software also takes an interesting approach to multitasking. Once you have this player installed, you can choose which file types are automatically opened and through which platform you want to view them on default, this does not have to be GOM. You can also customize the appearance of subtitles to maximize or minimize their visibility. The software will automatically search and sync subtitles for the movie that is being played. It is designed for a global audience and supports a host of subtitle formats. GOM is most popular in South Korea, but it is making its way to the native English-speaking market. Once it locates the relevant one, you’ll be directed to a site to download it. If the player cannot find the codec, it will automatically search for it online. You can also play less used file-types such as Matroska, Ogg, OGM, and more. GOM Player for Windows supports a wide range of file types including common video formats such as the common AVI, MOV and MP4.

If you don’t like the default appearance of this player, you can change the way it looks by applying a new skin. ![]() Once you get used to it, it becomes easier to navigate. It is hard to find tools like graphic and sound equalizer, which is frustrating for new users. If you want to change the sound or any other settings, you’ll have to navigate to the player’s menu.

![]() Monarch airs on Tuesdays at 9PM ET on FOX. The relationship with his onscreen daughters isn't the only part of Adkins' character with which he connects: The star says he's similar to Albie Roman in many ways, including his willingness to help squash a fight. And I was just like, ‘I don’t buy that s- for a second.' I was like, ‘I got your card.'" "They’re quiet, they seem kind of stoic, and I think people are really intimidated by, and I can tell you they were - especially the men on the show were so intimidated by him. , 'Oh, calm down, Hoss.'"ĭitto also relates that Adkins reminds her of her "favorite uncle," due to his quiet nature. ![]() Like I said, we were two of the only Southerners on the show. "Two people could not be more different, but at the same time, I feel like we really understood each other. "We are very much an odd couple," she says. ![]() Adkins is from Louisiana, and Ditto from Arkansas. "As I got to know them better, I felt very protective of them, so it served me, I think."ĭitto, who plays the part of Adkins' onscreen daughter, Gigi, says she also found commonality with the singer due to the fact that they are both from the South. Trace Adkins is one who is easily prone to accidents and injuries as he has suffered several in his life. Luckily he survived and witnessed the story. For example, the truck he was driving was involved in a school bus accident when he was a teenager. He injured his lungs, ribs and nose, which had to be reattached. A knee injury while in college ended his football career before it even began.Īfter Adkins dropped out of college, one of his jobs was on an oil rig. During this time, he accidentally cut off his pinky while opening a can. This could have ended his music career as well, but he had doctors install the finger at an angle that allowed him to play a guitar with it. That wasn’t even the worst of it. In 1994, Trace Adkins was shot in the chest by his then-wife Julie. However, he survived and took no criminal or civil action against her."So, there’s always that, and I kind of felt that way about these young ladies in this show, too," Adkins says. Adkins shared with his wife and three of his five daughters was entirely. Trace Adkins is a giant of a man. He is 1.98 m tall. Arguably one of America’s greatest country musicians, he has maintained a good physique over the years. In the fifteen years since his platinum debut, Trace Adkins has released ten. In 1997, Adkins married longtime friend and music publicist Rhonda Forlaw, who played a prominent role in his music career. The marriage was blessed with three children – Mackenzie, Brianna and Trinity. However, they divorced in 2015 after 17 years of marriage.Īdkins is also a grandfather, thanks to his two eldest daughters, who each have a son. Trace Adkins remarried JulieLauren Curtis in 1991. The marriage lasted 2 years and ended in bizarre circumstances. Julie shot Adkins after an altercation with a handgun. However, he survived and subsequently filed for divorce. Trace Adkins has walked down the aisle three times and has also been divorced as such. His first wife was Barbara Lewis. Not much is known about when they married or when they divorced, but it appears the two married after Adkins dropped out of college. The marriage produced the first two of Trace Adkins’ five daughters, namely: Tarah and Sarah. His father’s name is Aaron Doyle Adkins (late now), while his mother’s name is Peggy Carraway. Trace has a brother named Clay Adkins. Is Trace Adkins married? family, wife, daughter It must be noted that Trace was not a bed of roses. He struggled with alcohol addiction and went to rehab twice, in 20. However, he is doing much better now. ![]() In the book Media After Deleuze, authors David Savat and Tauel Harper say that while TV Tropes does offer a "wonderful archeology of storytelling", the site undermines creativity and experience by attempting to "classify and represent" every part of a work. In Lifehacker, Nick Douglas compared TV Tropes to Wikipedia, recommending to "use when Wikipedia feels impenetrable, when you want opinions more than facts, or when you've finished a Wikipedia page and now you want the juicy parts, the hard-to-confirm bits that Wikipedia doesn't share." Writing for The Believer, Chantel Tattolli commented that "It is deeply satisfying to go there and reckon with the patterns made over time, across culture, medium, and genre-and to catch them in rotation." ![]() Economist Robin Hanson, inspired by a scholarly analysis of Victorian literature, suggests TV Tropes offers a veritable treasure trove of information about fiction – a prime opportunity for research into its nature. ![]() Essayist Linda Börzsei described TV Tropes as a technological continuum of classical archetypal literary criticisms, capable of deconstructing recurring elements from creative works in an ironic fashion. Cyberpunk author Bruce Sterling once described its style as a "wry fanfic analysis". In an interview with TV Tropes co-founder Fast Eddie, Gawker Media's blog io9 described the tone of contributions to the site as "often light and funny". Pornographic tropes and works, as well as additional content deemed inappropriate for coverage, were also removed from the site following the incident. ThinkProgress additionally condemned Google AdSense itself for "providing a financial disincentive to discuss" such topics. Feminist blog The Mary Sue criticized this decision, as it censored documentation of sexist tropes in video games and young adult fiction. In a separate incident in 2012, in response to other complaints by Google, TV Tropes changed its guidelines to restrict coverage of sexist tropes and rape tropes. The site separated NSFG articles (Not Safe for Google) from SFG articles (Safe for Google) in order to allow discussion of these kinds of tropes. In October 2010, in what the site refers to as "The Google Incident", Google temporarily withdrew its AdSense service from the site after determining that pages regarding adult and mature tropes were inconsistent with its terms of service. It also can be used for recommending lesser-known media on the "Needs More Love" page. TV Tropes does not have notability standards for the works it covers. It has used its informal style to describe topics such as science, philosophy, politics, and history under its Useful Notes section. Articles on the site often relate to real life or point out real situations where certain tropes are applied. It renders many other subjects, including Internet works such as Wikipedia (often referred to in a tongue-in-cheek way as "The Other Wiki"). Initially focused on the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, TV Tropes has since expanded their coverage of many forms of media, including fan fiction. He sold the site in 2014 to Drew Schoentrup and Chris Richmond, who then launched a Kickstarter to overhaul the codebase and design. TV Tropes was founded in 2004 by a programmer under the pseudonym "Fast Eddie." He described himself as having become interested in the conventions of genre fiction while studying at MIT in the 1970s and after browsing Internet forums in the 1990s. Registration is now mandatory for all other activities besides viewing the website. Before October 2010, it was possible to edit anonymously. The TV Tropes website runs on its own wiki engine software, a heavily modified version of PmWiki, but is not open source. In July 2012, TV Tropes modified its license to allow only non-commercial distribution of its content but continued to host the prior submissions under a new distribution license. The nature of the site as a provider of commentary on pop culture and fiction has attracted attention and criticism from several web personalities and blogs.įrom April 2008 until July 2012, TV Tropes published free content. Since its establishment in 2004, the site has shifted focus from covering various tropes to those in general media, toys, writings, and their associated fandoms, as well as some non-media subjects such as history, geography, and politics. TV Tropes is a wiki website that collects and documents descriptions and examples of plot conventions and devices, which it refers to as tropes, within many creative works. Olson wrote to Staedter: “Instead of exhaustively looking at every possible solution, genetic algorithms start with a handful of random solutions and continually tinker with these solutions-always trying something slightly different from the current solution and keeping the best one-until they can’t find a better solution any more.”Īnd whether or not you understand the specifics of how it was created, the map is truly a marvel and the kind of itinerary you'll probably spend all winter dreaming about. After determining the stops, the main goal of the algorithm was to find the shortest distance between points. ![]() jDs1EsP1xS- MSU March 9, 2015įor the details on how he came up with the route, check out Olson’s blog. & see all major landmarks? #MSU's made a map. Staedter guessed it would take a little over nine days of driving straight through, but more realistically is a two- or three-month trip. That list starts with the Grand Canyon, but you could theoretically begin anywhere as long as you drive in sequence after that.
