Despite this growth, the field is still characterized by what sociologist Keith Kahn-Harris has called “undoubtedly the most critical weakness in metal studies as it stands: the relative paucity of detailed musicological analyses on metal” (Kahn-Harris 2011, 252). With the rise of metal studies as an emerging field of scholarship, the scholarly literature on extreme metal has increased exponentially within the past seven years supported by annual conferences, the establishment of the International Society for Metal Music Studies (ISMMS), and a specialized journal (Metal Music Studies). Scholarship on extreme metal now boasts a similar diversity as well as its own history spanning nearly two decades. Its individual subgenres represent a range of diverse aesthetics, some with histories spanning over thirty years. But it is possible to explore the origins of African people and to raise relevant questions regarding the contexts and circumstances within which " jazz " emerged and evolved.Įxtreme metal music, a conglomeration of metal subgenres unified by a common interest in transgressive sounds and imagery, is now a global phenomenon with thriving scenes in every inhabited continent. " Exploring the complex history of a continent as large and diverse as Africa within a few introductory pages is an impossible task. So it is important to shed at least a bit of light on what Europeans long considered the " Dark Continent. Relatively few readers interested in " jazz " have a general knowledge of African history. The legacy of exploitation and bigotry that the slave era ushered forth left indelible imprints on the entire history of Global African music. Although we know the names of a significant number of modern African American innovators, the music business remains conspicuously more concerned with profit than with the welfare of their artists. This suggests that museums, like zoos, are interested primarily with the ownership of African art (and the profit that can be made) and hold less concern for the African people who produced the art. Similarly, they pay scant attention to the history of the regions from which African art emerges. They credit tribes or regions with the production of works of art, but rarely were these artifacts created by more than one person. All material used for this paper derive from several extensive researches undertaken in the field during 19.īrothers and sisters, the white man has brainwashed us black people to fasten our gaze upon a blond-haired, blue-eyed Jesus! -Malcolm X European and European-American art galleries display African art, but they usually fail to name the artists. The question whether tunes are varied and/or constantly applied for different performance types and whether such changes in performance types are communicated among the musicians, the active participants and the audience will be given due consideration in the discussion. This study attempts at discussing the musical appearance of the Masinqo playing in the diverse performance types in detail in close relation with its contextual functionality. weddings) is commonly accompanied by Masinqo playing that is supported by ostinato drumming patterns. The traditional shoulder dance, Iskista, observed on various music events of the Amhara (e.g. While the Masinqo’s primary function might be attributed to its unique sound underlying a number of songs, it is also to guide singing and interconnect verses, stanzas and other performance types, of which dance is an important one.

No mention was made of Shanann’s unborn son. The sum consists of $300,000 for Shanann and $75,000 for each of the girls. And that I think was the source of his rage, against her, then against the pregnancy, and then while babysitting all weekend, against his entire family.Chris Watts had a $450k life insurance policy through his employer that would pay out in the event of an untimely death. It wasn’t going to get them out of their colossal debt situation, but more significantly, how it felt to him was nothing he did was ever going to be good enough in her spiel. But one has a sense – somehow – that no matter what he did it was never going to be good enough. It appears that he brought this same work ethic into the marriage, and into his child-raising, and it was his efforts that paid the bills. And we know even before Watts met Shan’ann, all his school and college buddies described him as a very diligent, hard-working type. When this class divide forms the backdrop to a relationship, it can be fatally undermining, like someone putting you in a cage. But maybe if she didn’t think that things may have turned out differently. That’s quite a status slide – from legal professional to mechanic, and in that sense then, in the social status sense, Shan’ann seemed to think she was better than he was, or that he wasn’t good enough for her. Shan’ann’s first husband, Leonard T. King, was an attorney. When Cindy quotes Shan’ann saying this isn’t the kind of person I would date I don’t think it was as much a comment on Chris Watts’ personality, temperament or looks, but his social status. If Shan’ann was undermining of him to his mother and their best friends, it suggests she was probably very undermining to him directly. When she did, her husband Nick sitting beside her sighs uncomfortably at this compromising and undermining disclosure.Ī post shared by Nick van der Leek on at 5:16am PDT And Amanda laughed when she repeated this during an interview. Shan’ann also told Amanda that she doubted her husband was having an affair because “he had no game”. It’s worth breaking in here to note that Cindy’s experience with Shan’ann parallels that of Amanda Thayer. It’s just…it was just on and on and on and I just got a bad feeling. Look at how much stuff he puts on his hair. Uh, he doesn’t know how to…do this…or he doesn’t know to do that. Um…it was always a little…a little strange…that she always said a lot of things about Chris in front of me that…I didn’t like.ĬINDY: Like this isn’t the kind of person I would date. REPORTER: When and where did he meet Shan’ann?Ī post shared by Nick van der Leek on at 2:56pm PSTĬINDY: They met and …he liked her, she liked him but I don’t think it was love at first sight or anything, they took a little while and I guess got to know each other…and you know, dated. He…bought a uh…toolbox…and he started buying his tools…and uh…um… enjoyed it. REPORTER: What did he do after he finished school.ĬINDY: He worked at the dealership as a service technician…and…was making good money, and…loved it. And he…was the perfect teenager to tell you the truth. He was…quiet…and he…got along with people. You didn’t see things like him get into fights or…ĬINDY: No. Nothing in his childhood…at all. I would’ve never thought in a million years something like this could happen…to him… at all. And uh… there’s nothing…nothing that would have…predicted any of this could have ever happened.ĬINDY: Nothing. And…that’s who he grew up with and still are friends with them today. He and his dad went to the NASCAR races all the time. And he was in basketball, he was in baseball, he was in football. A post shared by Nick van der Leek on at 2:35pm PSTĬINDY: Yes, he played sports…he played sports from the time he was five years old, up until he was seventeen. The developers really stressed that they want to reward their players with more than just a number increase in their profiles. In addition, any achievements/trophies earned will also give an in-game bonus. The nice thing is, when you rank up, you’ll gain a small but permanent stat adjustment (i.e. As you play and gain ranks, you’ll be matched up with players of around the same skill as you, so you won’t be randomly matched up with high-level players when just starting out. I assume this will be similar to Call of Duty or Halo, or really any modern shooter. Illfonic is also breaking away from classic FPS multiplayer in that Nexuiz, players will rank up. So it’s balanced out in a way, people that aren’t ultra-competitive MLG-ranked sorts will have a little help to balance odds, and those that don’t need it will get bonuses. Turning off aim assistance will net you bonus points when you get kills. It won’t be like Halo where it’s always on. One thing they’re changing from the late-90s era of shooters is that there will be aim assistance. It’s not going to have the Call of Duty 4 problem where if you’re just starting, you randomly get thrown into a game with people that have logged The Illfonic team has been hard at work figuring out ways for players to be ranked with like-skilled players. These can be new abilities, or they might be more powerful forms of previous mutations. And as you gain ranks, you’ll unlock more mutations. These are spent to increase the chance of certain mutations you want to show up. As you play the game, you’ll accrue points. The interesting thing is that it’s all random chance as to which mutations are given, at first. There will be different mutations exclusive to each game mode. Examples I heard were lower gravity, higher rate of fire and being able to run faster with a flag in CTF. After that, the mutation will change how you play the game. When you’ve earned one, you’ll be allowed to pick which one you want out of three. While the game will have the classic team deathmatch and capture the flag modes, what sets it apart are dynamic mutators.ĭynamic mutators are modifications you earn by getting killing streaks. What is different is that Nexuiz is using what has become the standard health system: wait long enough, and your health will regenerate. This is apparent in the weapons and armor shards littered about each level. You know, the one that’s powering Crysis 2.Īt its core, Nexuiz is a first-person shooter in the same vein as Quake or Unreal Tournament. And they’re doing it with the Crytek’s new CryEngine 3 game engine. They’ve taken Nexuiz, a PC shooter based on a modified Quake engine, and are rebuilding it from the ground up for Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. Illfonic is a small studio with big ambitions. In fact, they're built almost identically. The women are attractive and it's interesting to see that the queen has been outfitted by Dior or somebody, wearing a dress cut perilously low on her iliac crests. Some of the monsters (for that's how they're depicted) overplay their roles, if that's possible. Not midnight blue but kind of a neon blue. Images are in high contrast and tinted a kind of gold except at night, when they're tinted a kind of blue. But the photography and f/x are something special. If it has any redeeming social value it's probably that the kids who are the intended audience will learn that there was once a city called Sparta that wasn't in Mississippi. As far as I can remember - I was there but it's been a long time - it's reasonably accurate historically although perforce some of the dialog must be fabricated. The story of Spartan King Leonidas holding the Persian Army of Xerxes at bay at the battle of Thermopylae. Just be sure to make up your mind about what you want to see when you go to the theater yourself instead of being drawn into bias by the tons of reviews this site has to offer. I enjoyed this movie so much, but I know there will be people that will pass of as rubbish, and that's understandable. 300 contains nothing of this, nor does it wants to give you this. However, you are looking for a good story, clever plot twists, some innovating to the world of the movies then skip this. There is so much to see, so much power in the way this comic is translated to the big screen. If you are easily impressed by beautiful landscapes, wonderful camera-work and editing and powerful acting then go see this. But I could imagine why other people did. I did not one single moment felt like the movie lacked anything. Everything from the strong acting to the wondrous visuals to the war-shouts of the soldiers was just so stunning. Every battle, every scene of the movie had me at the tip of my chair. From the second the movie started it grabbed me and didn't let go. For me the good outweighs the bad by miles. Now that's fine and all, but does that all make of the film? Is it worth watching or what? I think it is. But from an objective point of view it's still lacking in this department, so it should be noted. "I fight for freedom! I'd rather die in honor then live in shame!" Sounds familiar? Of course it could be debated that this movie was never intended in the first place to have a unique plot that makes your head spin. On the other hand the plot and dialogs are of the most simplistic and quite frankly dumb kind. Every detail, every background, every special effect set to the scenes are so mindblowingly stunning. On the one hand the visual are surely among the best to be witnessed in a movie. Normally it's tolerable to weigh out both sides of this matter to result in a fair judgment about a movie. I feel reluctant to take a position in this argument. They either love it with passion calling it an epic movie of the 21th century, or hate it even more and throw it off like a piece of garbage consisting of mindless action and silly cliché phrases. Reviewers of this title seem to be split up in two groups. If you would look at the script, it would probably look like another movie that has nothing more to offer then idealistic visions of how life should be. The dialogs are simple and most often talk about moral values like freedom and honor. The story on the other hand isn't very complicated, in the sense that the whole movie could probably be described in a sentence or two. Fatal wounds that slowly leak blood spatters in the air, decapitated heads traveling in slow-motion across the screen. There are a lot of "time slowdowns" throughout the battles which show what exactly is happening. During the big fights you'll also instantly notice the unique editing. every little detail has been given so much attention. The colors, the characters, the costumes, the backgrounds. Every shot seems like it was intended to be a work of art. Most noticeably is the camera work and the visual effects. Basically, the whole thing is just one epic fighting scene after another. That's to say about a lot of movies in general of course, but this one in particular brings up a big clashing point between critics What do we want to see in our movies? What is more important, to portray a fictional setting for the sake of giving people a mind blowing visual experience or to amuse and amaze them with clever plot twists and intelligent dialogs? First lets analyze what exactly this film is made of. Skills Required: Everything that meets the needs of the Chrome Lighthouse audit report 5.

I know at least two Language Arts teachers have incorporated a contest into a class assignment. Greg and I share this contest information with educators all the time. These contests provide students with a purpose for their work and an authentic audience. For example, the site is currently running a “ STEM Writing Contest” and an “ Editorial Contest.” The “ Podcast Contest” starts in April and the Summer Reading Contest begins in June. The New York Times Learning Network also sponsors a variety of contests that make good assignments or that students might choose to enter on their own. After an engaging discussion about the current pandemic, we asked each student to create and share a drawing that depicts our current era and were impressed with their creations. This practice has led to some successful collaborations, including one with history classes on “ COVID as an Era,” which combined history, art, and current events. Greg and I frequently email teachers links to lessons we think would be of interest to them. The lesson design format includes a warm up, questions for writing or discussion, and ideas for extending the lesson. The “ Lesson of the Day” is a feature that uses articles from The New York Times to help students make connections between current events, their own lives, and/or topics they are studying in school. Here’s a link to a short video overview of WGOITG. Because The New York Times Learning Network has been offering this feature for about five years, the collection of graphs is extensive, supplying materials for almost any subject area. For example, we used this graph on water stress levels in a unit to urbanization and population. It also allows students to make connections between current events and the concepts they are learning in class. The activity provides the opportunity for students analyze and discuss data. Greg and I use this feature with Environmental Science classes and an A.P. “What’s Going On In This Graph (WGOITG)” is a weekly feature that showcases a graph, chart, or map from The New York Times. The Learning Network provides that what we were looking for and much more.Ī few of the features Greg and I use and/or promote regularly include: What’s Going On In This Graph? At the beginning of the 2020-21 school year, we decided to focus on media literacy, so we looked for interesting and relevant materials that could be used in a variety of subject areas. My co-librarian, Greg, and I have used The Learning Network quite a bit over the past year and a half. All of these resources, approximately 1000 per year, are free!
