Cork Convention Bureau holds first Business Tourism Event

27th September 2013, Friday
By David O’Sullivan

The English Market was the venue for Cork’s inaugural Business Tourism
event on Thursday evening 26
September, organised by Cork Convention Bureau (CCB). CCB played host
to over 120 guests from a wide
selection of Cork companies such as EMC, Stryker, Merck Sharp & Dohme
and Pepsico, while University
College Cork and a range of other organisations were also represented.
Over 30 hotels, venues and activity
providers from Cork showcased their offering on the night, while Cork
Opera House wowed all with a short
The main focus of the evening was to highlight Cork’s impressive and
unique offering and its ability to
successfully host international conferences and events. The English
Market was a very fitting venue for such
an evening with Cork’s renowned food product being a key selling point
to encourage more events into the
region and to distinguish it from other destinations.

Evelyn O’Sullivan Manager at Cork Convention Bureau commented ‘CCB’s
message this evening is very
simple – we want to encourage more international conferences and
meetings into Cork and we are finding one
of the best ways of doing this is working with local companies and
organisations. To date we have had great
success with our ‘Cork Needs You – Become A Conference Ambassador’
programme. We are continually
encouraging Cork based individuals, who have the ability to win
conferences and events, to contact us to see
how we can help. We have all the necessary supports in place including
funding and practical supports. Last
year we worked with 26 local ambassadors. 2012 also saw over 8,000
delegates come into Cork to attend
conferences and events secured by CCB. This is great business for our
member hotels and venues. The value
of an international delegate is calculated at €1,400 – four times the
spend of a leisure tourist.’

Insects and violence

Guillermo del Toro's first two horror films starred flies and cockroaches. For his new movie he let people have a go. David Archibald met the Mexican director

Mexican director Guillermo del Toro has brought a unique sensibility to the horror movie. His 1993 feature debut, Cronos, offered vampirism as an allegory of the relationship between his home country and the US. Mimic, the follow-up, marked his crossover to the American market by extending his peculiar fascination with insects (giant alien cockroaches that can change shape to blend in with New York street life). His third movie, The Devil's Backbone, has teamed him with producer Pedro Almodovar for a ghost story set in an orphanage during the Spanish civil war.

David Archibald: In The Devil's Backbone a number of themes that figure in your first two movies, Cronos and Mimic, reappear: religion, children, insects and obviously horror. Let's start with religion.

Guillermo del Toro: That comes exclusively from my background. I had a terrible childhood. Part of that was being raised by a very strict Catholic grandmother who was a truly devout religious nut. She would send me to school with upside-down bottle caps inside my shoes to mortify my flesh, and she would make me pray to this and that. From the earliest age the only thing I wanted to draw was monsters. She thought I had the devil in me so she exorcised me. I started laughing at how silly that was and she thought that was proof that I was truly possessed.

The mere notion of original sin is really hard to stomach for a child - to be told that you are going to burn in hell or you are going to go to purgatory - and all of that permeated my life and therefore my movies. Now I'm a lapsed Catholic, or an atheist, but lapsed Catholic is a much better description because you're screwed for life.

DA: And children?

GdT: It is one of the most ancient conventions in the genre that, for a horror tale to work, it needs the eyes of an innocent; in fact it needs pure eyes. I hate the word innocence, it's so relative. But purity is not; I believe that children are pure and yet I don't believe that they are innocent. Purity is like an amplifier of horror and I have lived the most horrifying chapters of my life being a child, so those are the chapters I can relate to the best.

DA: Why do you think that the horror genre continues to hold a fascination for audiences?

GdT: Because right now reality is so horrible. Everything has been so jaded, so manhandled, and horror maintains its purity. It is one of the stages of emotion that remains pure, and people love pure emotion. If you are capable of eliciting a moment of fear, of true fear, if anyone connects with your movie and feels a shiver of recognition that there is something in that screen that is beyond the natural, it's a huge high. It's as exciting as the best action sequence or the most romantic kiss. Pure uncut emotion, that's what people like. Sadly, horror movies just tend to be gory and blase, almost to the point of being post-modern reflections of horror. I am still a believer in the old gothic ghost story set in a building with long corridors and dark dungeons - there is still value in that.

DA: Why did you set this ghost story during the Spanish civil war?

GdT: The best ghost stories are set against wars, because they leave plenty of ghosts behind. Coming from the outside to the Spanish civil war, it felt very black and white to me. It took place within the family - you could have a fascist father, a fascist son and a republican son and they would argue passionately, and even be capable of taking each other to the firing squad.

I tried to make the orphanage in the film a microcosm of the war. I wanted to create a situation where the republican figures in the movie allowed for this fascist creature to grow and nurture, and ultimately take over. The republican government represents the best possible leftist government that has ever taken place on earth - women were emancipated, education was very experimental, culture was booming - and yet it all went to hell.

DA: How did the production come about?

GdT: At the 1994 Miami film festival, Pedro Almodovar said to me: "If you ever want to do a movie in Spain, let me know." After Mimic, I really wanted to make a small movie that I controlled. I started my own company, Tequila Gang, in order to remind myself that I could do my own little movies the way I wanted. I went to Pedro and proposed this movie to him, and it came to me really easily. I was given all the freedom I needed and all the money I needed. The best experience of my life, zero complaints.

DA: It's a very striking movie cinematographically.

GdT: I hate to shoot dialogue and I love to shoot cinema. There are some people who are masterful with dialogue, people like Woody Allen or Quentin Tarantino. But I cannot do it and you have to know your limitations. I am bad at shooting dialogue and I hate it, I can't stand it when someone starts speaking in my movies. So I wanted to make a movie that contained as much cinema as possible. And even when we shot dialogue, I wanted to approach it from a cinematic point of view, and have the characters and the camera moving in order to make it more interesting. That was the main point of the film, to try and keep the camera fluid most of the time. To make it almost like a voyeur camera that peeks behind walls.

In terms of the colours, I tried a palette that was very different from the other two movies, but equally significant because the movie is about ghosts that are like insects trapped in amber. Everybody in the movie is a ghost, the entire movie is about dead people. We are in 2001 and these are people who lived in 1939. Therefore the colours are amber, white, black and earth most of the time, and then we have the green and the very, very pale green-blue for night scenes. For the exteriors, we used a filter called chocolate that made all the light outside gold or amber. Everything in the movie was meant to look like a Goya painting because he is one of the great painters of war.

DA: Your first two films feature insects prominently, less so in The Devil's Backbone, but there are slugs and flies. Why the continuing fascination with bugs?

GdT: I think they are perfect. Humans are imperfect because we have two sides; insects are one-sided. If creation was perfect there would be creatures that would be purely spiritual, that would exist like angels in harmony with nature, and there would be other creatures that are just physical, their pure purpose embodied in the physical. Some insects are so specialised that they are born without a mouth or sexual organs because they only live for a few hours. They don't feed because they shouldn't take food from the colony, and they don't reproduce because they're useless. They finish their work and die, and then they are eaten by the others. They are almost like the perfect fascist creature.

We are constantly wondering if we should reproduce with this person or not, whether we should eat or not eat, but insects are pure action. They are horribly perfect. That's why they are scary and why we hate them so much.

DA: How do you think they operate cinematically?

GdT: They are very attractive creatures to shoot. The thing that I wanted most in terms of insect imagery was to have a character walk around with flies around him. I don't know why, I just wanted to have a halo of flies round a character like a saint. I tried it in Cronos and it didn't work, but now all the flies you see are digital. It's very easy. And I was really happy to do it. I think they are completely alien to humans and yet they are familiar. There was one piece of dialogue in Mimic, which got cut at the screenplay stage: "We have nothing in common with them, they have no heart, they have white blood, they have six legs, they have eight eyes, they have no skeleton and they do not give a fuck about us." That's what makes them so attractive.

DA: You've recently finished Blade 2 and you're working on a wide variety of other productions.

GdT: Yeah, but I have to. The day that I don't feel compelled to tell a story is the day I'll stop making movies. I don't do them for money, I don't do them for comfort. I don't do them because they are easy, God knows they are hard to make. I do them because I feel I still have in me a lot of things to tell that won't be told by someone else in the same way. If I didn't feel like that, I wouldn't make them. My hope is that by the end of my life, however many I end up doing, they will all be one hell of a big movie - although it might be a very strange big movie.

· The Devil's Backbone is released on Friday.

Intervals 1 - 3 - #5
Notes in E aug E - G# (Ab) - C

The augmented chord is a triad built with two major thirds. It is usually notated either as aug or + chord. The aug chord is symmetric. You can divide the scale into three major thirds, meaning that for instance Caug and Eaug will have the same notes. Because of this, there are basically only four different augmented chords.

Mr Eazi Is Talking Crap – Young Paris

MR EAZIBIGRoc Nation Afrobeats artiste, Young Paris has blasted Mr Eazi for his inability to differentiate between Afrobeat and Afrobeats. The US musician in a quick Instagram post said Mr Eazi was ‘wilding’ and saying a lot of crap.

Young Paris who has collaborated with Mavin Records artistes Tiwa Savage and Reekado Banks claims there is a big difference between Afrobeat and Afrobeats and that difference is very important for the culture.

He said Afrobeat should only be referred to as music made by the genre pioneer Fela, which still remains as his legacy. While Afrobeats is any music done by any contemporary African artistes, which has sub-genres like, Afro-house, Afropop, Afrofusion, Afrotrap etc.

“Stop calling this shit AFROBEAT it’s AFROBEATS!. All Afropop, Afrohouse, Afrotrap, Afrofusion etc. are all sub categories of “AFROBEATS”. Also get wit the program @spotify @itunes @tidal @pandora @soundcloud @deezer // #ALWAYSFORTHECULTURE #AFROBEATS #KINGPARIS #emo#8J+Pvw==##” He said.

Recipe: Pan-Roasted Cauliflower Pasta with Smoky Tomato Sauce

Recipe: Pan-Roasted Cauliflower Pasta with Smoky Tomato Sauce

Emma Christensen
Nov 27, 2017

I've been craving opposites lately. I want pasta, but I don't want it to be heavy. I want fresh flavors, but also something savory and comforting. I want vegetables, but I want a bit of meat, too.

Here, pan-roasted cauliflower and ribbons of prosciutto get folded into a bright but savory tomato sauce with pasta. It's a perfect union of all my conflicting opposites.

I am a fiend for smoky flavors, and this dish is full of them. The cauliflower becomes caramelized and blackened in the pan — almost to the point of becoming burnt. Don't fear the sear!

A second dose of smokiness comes from using fire-roasted tomatoes. If these seems a little too much for you, just use regular diced tomatoes instead. Or pick up a can of tomato purée and skip the step of puréeing it yourself.

I wasn't originally planning on the basil, but I passed a display of fresh bunches at the store and I couldn't resist a little off-season treat. It ended up adding the perfect note of brightness to the dish.

If you're also in an opposites-attract mood, I think this dish will hit the spot. It makes enough to feed a crowd and comes together fairly quickly, so this would be a good choice if you're thinking of having friends over for dinner this week. Serve it with a crisp, vinegary salad and a bright white wine or IPA, and let yourself linger at the table until the bowls are licked clean.

Tester's Notes

This tomatoey pasta dish has comfort food written all over it. After retesting the recipe, I made a few adjustments to not only make it a little more wholesome but also make it extra easy to whip on a busy weeknight. I nixed the heavy cream originally called for in the recipe, as it was cozy enough without it, and I lowered the amount of prosciutto, using it as a crispy, salty garnish rather than stirring it in, uncooked, into the pasta, which previous commenters noted got lost in the dish. I also gave the option of using a bag of frozen cauliflower instead of chopping up a head for the sake of making things extra convenient.

- Sheela, December 2017

Pan-Roasted Cauliflower Pasta with Smoky Tomato Sauce

Serves 4

4 thin slices prosciutto
12 ounces dry short pasta, such as fusilli, rotini, or gemelli
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (16-ounce) bag frozen cauliflower florets, or 1 large head cauliflower (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into small florets
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
Pinch red pepper flakes
2 (14.5-ounce) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or basil leaves
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, heat a 10- to 12-inch cast iron or wide, large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the prosciutto in a single layer and cook until curling and lightly browned underneath, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the prosciutto to paper towels to drain. Set the pan aside (do not wash).

When the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.

Meanwhile, add the oil to the skillet and place over medium heat until shimmering. Add the cauliflower and a big pinch of salt and stir to coat. Cook undisturbed until the bottoms start turning dark and golden-brown, about 1 minute. Continue cooking, stirring every minute or so, until the cauliflower has developed dark seared spots all over and is almost tender but not completely cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total.

Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the diced tomatoes and their juices, along with another big pinch of salt, stir to combine with the cauliflower, and simmer for 3 minutes. Taste and season with more salt if needed.

Add the pasta and toss to combine. If needed, add the reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time to loosen the sauce so that the pasta is evenly coated. Transfer to serving bowls and crumble the crispy prosciutto over each portion. Sprinkle with the parsley or basil and grated cheese, if using.

For the Record

If police had recorded his interrogation, would Max Soffar be on death row?

Max Soffar, one of the longest-serving death row inmates in Texas, will turn 60 this December, though he might not make it that long, owing to the cancer in his liver. Sentenced to death in 1980 — and at a retrial in 2006 — for murdering three teenagers in a bowling alley, Soffar has been in the news a lot lately, owing in part to his impressive list of supporters who are aggressively backing his claims of innocence and his plea for a compassionate release. The list of supporters includes Andrew Horne, a partner at the international law firm Kirkland & Ellis, who is handling his appeals pro bono; journalists, including Texas Monthly writer Michael Hall, whose recent reporting offers a full picture of the case to date; the ACLU; and Barry Scheck of the Innocence Project.

Max Soffar at the Polunsky Unit in Livingston, Texas, in December 2012.

The prosecutors and police who built a case against Soffar are certain he is guilty. One prosecutor, Lyn McClellan, also doubts the seriousness of his cancer. ("I've had lots of promises-to-die resolutions," the prosecutor told the Houston Chronicle. “Let me put it this way, Max is not about to die anytime soon.”) Soffar, prosecutors and police point out, confessed to the murder, and a recording of his confession helped convince two different juries of his guilt.

But had Soffar been arrested today, there is one piece of evidence that could have helped judges, journalists, and the public definitively swing one way or another on the question of his guilt: a recording of his interrogation. Before digital recording, it was not feasible or common to amass the reams of tape that would have been necessary to record Soffar’s conversations with police, which lasted more than 26 hours over three days.

On April 9, Texas lawmakers will discuss whether to pass a bill requiring that police record interrogations of suspects for violent crimes. In recent years, at least 20 states and countless smaller jurisdictions have enacted similar policies. President Obama had promoted such a law when he was state senator in Illinois. And last summer, the Department of Justice followed suit, requiring that the FBI and other federal investigative agencies record interrogations.

Recognizing that it is possible to confess to a crime you did not commit, policymakers hope that recording the interrogation — and not just the confession — will allow the jury, the judge, and attorneys on both sides to determine whether police used coercive interrogation tactics that often precede false admissions of guilt.

We Are Witnesses

A portrait of crime and justice in 18 short films

A shift towards recorded interrogations may not be inevitable, however. A bill on the subject failed to gain momentum during the 2013 session of the Texas legislature, and it is difficult to tell if it will fare better this time around. Opposition has tended to come from prosecutors, who worry that if recordings are required and police fail to make them, it can undermine the entire case against an otherwise guilty defendant.

Police departments often support required recordings, only to be fought by police unions. “Some police investigators are concerned that recording might deter confessions and cause some persons to refuse to speak freely with police officers,” wrote John Collins, General Counsel of the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association, in the April 2006 issue of the trade magazine, The Police Chief. On the other hand, cameras on dashboards and uniforms have become commonplace despite the wariness of some unions.

Many departments are now recording interrogations voluntarily as a way of protecting their officers when confessions are later challenged in court. One glaring irony of Soffar’s case is that Gil Schultz, a police officer who interrogated Soffar — and whose own work might have been questioned had the whole episode been taped — supports taping interrogations. Two years ago, he called the idea “fantastic” and said that a recording would have only strengthened the case against Soffar by showing how well the cops treated him. “I never raised my voice to that man,” Schultz said. “I treated him like a human being.”

Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing is now one of the most important marketing activities. Why? Because social media sites are where the majority of people spend most time online, and where your customers go, your brand must surely follow.

Social media marketing is knowing where your potential clients hang out. Understanding what they like and what they share. It is getting your brand noticed while people are busy being social. Be able to encourage people to share and click through, and knowing why they do that. And it is getting them to want to hear more from you. Why? Because you are providing something they need and want, so they will not just like you, but eventually decide to buy from you.

It’s also all the work that goes into that. From planning and running campaigns to measuring and analysing the results. Then there is monitoring your brand and niche, and making it all work as an integrated part of your sales and marketing comms cycle.

It's a lot.

And when you add the other pressures of a busy job then it can easily become disjointed, which is when it just doesn't work, which is a shame at every level.

So if you need a little (or a lot) of help in this area, why not get in touch and let's arrange to have a coffee and a chat and see how we can help you.

Best Ukuleles For Beginners (Under $100)

by | Instruments | 0 comments

When you want to learn how to play an instrument that’s fun and not too complicated, the ukulele is right at the top of the list.

This small four-stringed, guitar-like instrument is compact enough for both kids and adults to play, isn’t hard to get started playing, and is actually very enjoyable to learn to play.

The ukulele is often associated with Hawaii, but it actually has origins in Portugal where its relatives today are called the braguinha or cavaquinho.

Though many people think of the ukulele as a “toy instrument” that’s not for serious musicians, that’s far from the truth.

In fact, in recent years there’s been a resurgence in interest in ukuleles; Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwoʻole’s beautiful rendition of “Over The Rainbow” went platinum and made the ukulele hip!

Artists such as Taylor Swift and Ingrid Michaelson have used ukuleles in their songs.

You can find ukulele clubs and groups all over the country, and there are many ukulele virtuosos – just check out Taimane Gardner on YouTube.

With all this interest, there are dozens of ukuleles available today for both pros and amateurs alike.

Top-quality ukuleles can be a bit on the expensive side, so we created this guide so that you can find the best ukuleles for beginners that cost under $100.

We’re going to focus on two different sizes of ukulele – soprano and concert ukuleles – that are perfect to start with.

Each of the ukuleles that we’ll review is ideal for anyone that wants to learn the instrument, and they won’t make a huge dent in your wallet.

Here are the ukuleles that we’ll be covering:

Review Criteria

All ukuleles included in my reviews were selected based on their widespread use and reputation in the professional music community and from personal use and knowledge.

I’ve also added my insights gained from my 25+ years of experience running a very successful music production company, plus working with dozens of composers and thousands of tracks for my Audio Addiction Music Library, a production music library with global distribution.

What to Look for in a Ukulele

Before we get started on our reviews, let’s take a look at some features that you should think about before purchasing a ukulele.

Price vs. Quality

As ukuleles are small instruments, you can get quality instruments for not a lot of money. In fact, some of the best tonewoods – woods used in the construction of the ukulele – can actually be some of the least expensive options.

However, you should stay clear of toy ukuleles that are in the $15 to $20 price range.  These are inferior instruments constructed with poor quality materials and are not actually designed to be played with any seriousness.

But once you move up to around the $50 to $100 range, you’ll have no problem finding some very good quality ukuleles.

The Best Tonewoods

Tonewoods are one of the most important considerations when you’re looking into purchasing a new ukulele.

The woods used in the construction of a ukulele are a major factor in how the instrument sounds and what kind of tone it will have.

Many ukulele builders will use a softwood like spruce or cedar for the top, and hardwood for the sides.  This produces a good balance of volume and tone.

With this in mind, let’s take a look at some of the commonly used tonewood types:

  • Mahogany – If you’re looking for an instrument that projects well, mahogany is an excellent Ukuleles made from mahogany tend to be loud and produces a warm tone that’s perfect for both playing at home and on stage without amplification.
  • Koa – Koa is a very traditional tonewood for ukuleles, especially for those made in Hawaii. It produces a unique sound, and it also has a distinctive wood grain.
  • Rosewood – As a rule of thumb, you’ll find rosewood in the construction of fretboards on guitars, basses, and ukuleles, but it also makes an excellent wood for ukulele construction as well. The sound it produces is vibrant.
  • Spruce – If you prefer a brighter sound, then spruce may just be your choice. It’s a beautiful light-colored wood and sounds great in intimate settings.
  • Redwood – Redwood is probably one of the most expensive tonewoods for ukuleles.  It’s hard to find a redwood ukulele in the sub-$100 price range, so its warm and resonant sound may be something that you’d opt for later as an upgrade.
  • Cedar – Larger ukuleles like the baritone ukulele are frequently made of cedar. Cedar produces a natural tone with lots of bass.

Laminated Ukuleles

Many entry-level ukuleles will be made of laminated wood –a thin veneer of hardwood over a cheaper wood.  Laminated ukuleles can still be excellent-sounding instruments, so at the under $100 price level it’s okay to consider laminated ukuleles as well as solid-wood ones.

Ukulele Sizes & Number of Frets

Ukuleles come in a variety of sizes and number of frets.  In general, the larger the ukulele, the more frets it will have. Here are the different sizes of ukuleles:

  • Soprano – Soprano ukuleles are the most common ukuleles. These ukes are usually about 21 inches in length and have anywhere between 12 and 15 frets. Soprano ukuleles are ideal for small children because of their small size.
  • Concert – Concert ukuleles are a bit larger than the soprano instruments and come with at least 15 frets. They are also usually around 21 inches in length. They are an excellent choice for intermediate players and beginners with larger hands. Concert ukuleles overall have more volume and project better than sopranos.
  • Tenor – Tenor ukuleles are a bit larger than concerts and can be around 26 inches or so. They also have a lot more frets; in fact, tenors can range from 15 to 25 frets, which makes tenors a great instrument for those who are also guitar players.

Tenors are recommended for adults who are already proficient in the instrument.  Tenor ukes also come in a wider variety of woods than the other types and have more frets for more advanced playing techniques.

  • Baritone – Baritone ukuleles are much larger than the other models. A baritone ukulele can be as much as 30 inches in length and usually has around 18 frets. This is a great ukulele for just about anyone except probably small children.

Ukulele Action

An instrument’s action refers to the height of the strings off of the neck.

Unfortunately, many inexpensive ukuleles come with very high action, which makes playing it difficult for beginners.

Plus, high action can make the notes go out of tune when played, even if the instrument is in tune.

Action can be adjusted at a music store, but this is something would be an additional expense.

Best Ukuleles Under $100 for Beginners Reviews

Kala is a well-known maker of quality affordable ukuleles.

The Kala KA-15S-S is part of Kala’s flagship collection and has become one of the most popular soprano ukuleles with over 1,000 positive reviews.

The neck is mahogany, the fretboard is rosewood, and its top is made of bright and beautiful spruce.  These woods combine to provide an excellent sound, and it comes with a satin finish.

Note that in mid-2017 Kala will no longer be making ukuleles with rosewood due to export restrictions.

If you’re looking for one of the best ukuleles for beginners, this is a great option.

It’s an excellent sounding instrument, despite its low price tag.

The action is low right out of the box which makes it very easy to play.  And the neck, frets, nut/ saddle, and tuners are all high quality and show no significant defects that you find in many inexpensive ukuleles.

It also comes with top-quality Aquila Super Nylgut strings, a nice bonus.

Overall, the Kala KA-15S-S is a great value for beginning players.

  • The ukulele is well made and produces a well-rounded sound
  • It comes with Aquila strings and a gig bag

  • Over time, the pearloid dots on the fretboard can wear away

Lanikai is a well-respected maker of ukuleles and is now part of the Hohner Music USA (known for their harmonicas).

The Lanikai LU-21 is another user favorite with a price tag well under $100.  It is made of nato or Eastern mahogany.  This is a rare tonewood that helps this ukulele create a warm, mellow sound that is quite resonant.

Nato wood is also beautiful; it’s a darker wood with grain that forms some very unique patterns.

The fretboard is made of rosewood, and it has 12 frets.

The construction quality is solid, with no readily apparent defects that detract from its sound or playability.

Note that keeping the ukulele in tune seems to be an issue for many users. However, many beginners don’t realize that new nylon strings will go out of tune quickly on all ukuleles, even the highest quality ones, but once the strings get stretched the instrument stays in tune.

Overall, the LU-12 is easy to play, looks and sounds great, and is an excellent instrument for beginners.

  • A special package deal includes a clip-on tuner, gig bag, instructional DVD and polishing cloth – a lot of value for the money

  • Action may be high on some instruments

Kala’s Makala series of ukuleles is their starter series.  Though they are inexpensive instruments, they are well-made and known for their excellent tone and playability.

The Kala MK-S Makala Soprano Ukulele is a well-crafted ukulele designed for beginners.  It’s a 12-fret instrument that’s easy to play and has an excellent sound.

It has a body made of an inexpensive tonewood called agathis. This wood produces a beautiful clear sound while still keeping the price of this ukulele well under $100.

In addition to agathis body, the Kala MK-S Makala has a rosewood fingerboard and bridge and a mahogany neck.  The ukulele overall has a rich nutty look that’s very attractive and comes with a satin finish.

The construction is solid without any noticeable defects.  The action is set up quite low and is very playable right out of the box.

Highly recommended for beginners!

  • Excellent clear sound and solid craftsmanship

  • Some users complain of a buzzing sound on some frets, but this is not a widespread complaint.

Luna Guitars is a revered maker of all sorts of stringed instruments – acoustic and electric guitars, basses, banjos, bouzoukis, ukuleles, and more.

The Luna Guitars Tattoo Concert Mahogany Ukulele is one of a kind with its striking “tattoo” on the top of the instrument that’s drawn in a Hawaiian /Polynesian tattoo style.

This design is based on a Hawaiian turtle (honu) which is a symbol of longevity and endurance. This tattoo has a swirling pattern which makes it a very eye-catching instrument. The design is laser-etched, so it’ll never wear away.

You can also find some additional design elements around the rosette, which is a nice touch.

Outside of its visual appeal, you might notice that this instrument has more frets than the previous 3 ukuleles.  This is because it is a concert ukulele with 18 frets.

The top and neck of this ukulele are made of mahogany, but the fretboard is made of rosewood.

It produces a full-bodied yet warm tone and is easy to play.

  • The design is unusual with a Hawaiian /Polynesian
  • It comes with Aquila strings and a basic gig bag
  • It’s a very durable instrument due to its mahogany construction.

  • The gig bag is not substantial enough to prevent damage if it gets hit.
  • The wood is thin so care must be taken not to damage it.

Cordoba is a ukulele manufacturer that utilizes traditional guitar construction techniques in crafting ukuleles. The results are excellent sounding and well-made instruments that should last for decades.

Cordoba designed the Protégé U100CM Concert Ukulele to be a beginner-level instrument but with a rich tone and excellent playability.

The Protégé U100CM is made of mahogany with a rosewood bridge and fingerboard, and the rosette in the center features a mother-of-pearl design that’s very attractive.

This is also a ukulele that’s easy to play and comes with a satin finish.

Also included is a standard concert-sized gig bag.

  • This instrument has a very high-quality construction.
  • The mahogany construction provides a huge sound that is also warm –
  • It’s a very lightweight instrument; it only weighs a little more than four pounds.

  • It can ship with glue marks, which can take away from the aesthetics of the instrument.
  • The action (the distance of the strings to the fretboard) may be high which makes playing it a bit more challenging. This can be adjusted though.

Many think of career counseling as focused conversations that help you figure out what kind of job will make you happy. For most people, choosing a career is a luxury. The single mom isn’t “realizing her potential” or “living her dreams” by working as a fry cook. But she is paying the bills; the hours are flexible; and she lots of time to spend with her kids. When it comes to making money, I am a realist. You may never get paid to play tennis, or make art, or build a sailboat. But if you know what gives you passion, purpose, and direction, you can choose a career path that leaves time and energy for the things you love.

Our careers make up a major part of our life. Careers can be pivotal for creating happiness in life or creating the opposite. In earlier days, people found their first job after high school or college and stayed in that job for the rest of their life. In past decades, the “one job for life” has evolved into six to ten job changing and career changing episodes. Every job change and career change often leads to anxiety, depression, fears, interview panic, lack of self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, somatic reactions and a devastating feeling that includes a lack of self-worth. Being fired and being hired revolve around rejection and the strive to be accepted. Career counseling works to make the above issues more tolerable and rational.

    • Thread Starter

    For my A2 English Language coursework I have done an investigation on the sitcom 'Friends' to see how gender is represented in the characters and whether or not they conform to gender theories/stereotypes.
    I now have to create an informative media text for an audience e.g. a newspaper/magazine article. This has to be slightly related to the language ideas from my investigation piece but it does not have to reflect the findings of my investigation.

    AQA examples include:
    Men vs. women: who talks the most?

    How do children learn to read? A parents' guide.
    What do your text messages reveal about you?

    I am struggling to come up with an idea for my media text as everything I write is too similar to my investigation piece! Any ideas? Thanks

Friendly Social URLs Using Redirects

Have you ever thought it would be nice to be able to easily give someone the URL to your Facebook profile? It’s not easy with the id number URL that Facebook uses. Just try saying “go to facebook dot com slash profile dot php question mark id equals six hundred and five million seven hundred seventy six thousand fifty seven”. Bzzzt, nope. Even something as easy as a custom URL for LinkedIn can be hard to remember. It hit me the other day that there is a really easy solution to this!

If you have your own domain name, and host the DNS somewhere, you are almost guaranteed to be able to easily create URL redirects. I use Namecheap and it is very easy to do. I created these URL redirects to make it a lot easier to tell people where to find me!

Friendly URL Real URL

It’s so much easier to say “Just go to” to see my pictures on Flickr! Or “go to”. Even Twitter allows people to just know my name, and not need to remember my Twitter username, and just go to!

Nice huh? I like it.

I need recipes using lemons. We have our own tree.

Classic Lemonade

6 large lemons
6 cups cold water
1 cup sugar, or less to taste (you can use honey instead of sugar)

Squeeze the lemons and remove any seeds from the juice. If you dont care for the pulp then strain the juice through cheesecloth. To get more juice from the lemons when squeezing be sure to squeeze them when they are at room temperature. Combine lemon juice, sugar and water. Stir well until all of the sugar dissolves, chill and serve over ice. This recipe will render about eight or more 8 ounce glasses of lemonade depending on how much ice you choose to use ;-)

Fried Tilapia Fillets with Lemon Caper Sauce

4 Tilapia fillets
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 cup Tempura batter mix
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon very thinly sliced, ends removed
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, cut in to pats
2 Tbsp capers, drained

Rub the fillets with salt and pepper. Spread the Tempura batter mix on a plate; lightly press both sides of tilapia fillets in the Tempura batter mix and repeat. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet and add the lemon slices.

Fry for about 5 minutes and remove the slices. Fry the tilapia fillets in the same skillet and oil for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until easily flaked with a fork and place on serving plates over cooked rice. Increase the heat of the skillet to high, add the lemon slices, unsalted butter, and capers. Stir for about 2 to 3 minutes, spoon the sauce over the tilapia fillets and rice and serve immediately.

Lemon Chicken

4 whole chicken breasts, boned skinned and cut in to bite size pieces
4 tbls peanut oil
2 tsp corn starch plus 1 tbls mixed with one tbls water
3 tsp grated lemon rind
2/3 cup chicken stock
1 lb fresh snow peas
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Rice of your choosing
Small handful of cashews or skinless peanuts, both unsalted, optional

Toss chicken bites with 2 tbls oil and 2 tsp cornstarch.
Heat remaining 2 tbls peanut oil in wok or skillet. Stir fry chicken about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with lemon rind and then add chicken stock and snow peas (and cashews or peanuts if you choose to). Stir fry 1 minute. Combine lemon juice with cornstarch and water paste, add to wok and stir fry until sauce has thickened.

You are so fortunate to be able to grow your own lemons. I take lemons and juice them and freeze the juice in ice trays then transfer to zip lock bag.

Drink lemon water during the day. Put a cube of lemon juice in the bottom of a large insulated cup. Fill the cup with ice cubes and add water. The cube of lemon melts slowly so as you drink the water, you can add more water.

This is delicous, easy, and inexpensive. You can use lemon curd on ice cream, eaten with blueberries & whip cream, and used as a "puddin pie". Or Google it!

1 cup sugar
1 cup lemon juice
lemon zest from the lemon (this is optional but adds wonderful flavor!)
3 Tbsp. butter
3 eggs

Combine sugar and lemon juice in heavy medium saucepan. Stir in butter and eggs and beat well, add lemon zest. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Pour into a one pint container and cover tightly.

How much lemon curd does your recipe make? (I was thinking maybe around 1 1/2 cups after 3 eggs are added to 1 c each of the lemon juice and sugar.)

Reply Was this helpful? Yes
October 11, 20100 found this helpful

You can add lemons/limes to any recipe you want. The zest can be frozen to be used. Where I live this fruit is expensive so when the sales are good, I stock up. I cut wedges, lay them out, freeze, then bag. I can grab to use as I need without wasting the whole fruit for a tsp or two.

Salads--many pasta salads are wonderful with a smidge of citrus. I switched up, and instead of so much mayo or salad dressing, I add 1/4 cup of lemon/lime to it. Hot dishes the same. Cookie or cake recipes--balance out the liquid from some other area.

Make jam. I have a tomato jam that used 2 cups sliced lemons. The lemons created the pectin quality. Recipe is in the BALL BLUE BOOK OF CANNING. You cooked it and left it overnight in fridge and cooked it again. Soooo good. You can just make lemon butters, process to put away. Use them where you want lemon. So many ideas.

Does anyone have a recipe for diabetic lemon cordials?

Lesley from Australia

September 27, 20080 found this helpful

Now that I think I understand what lemon cordial is, here's what I would do.

http://lowcarbd  a/liqsplenda.htm

This has information on a variety of liquid Sucralose products that you could use in place of the basic simple syrup (sugar water) that goes into most cordials, and then all you would need to do is add the lemon juice and poss. the tiny amount of alcohol that goes into some of the recipes.

Good luck! I might have to try making some of mine own after reading all these yummy sounding recipes!

Hi Lesley,
You can either juice some lemons, and use to mix with a sweetener (I use Sugarine liquid as it is the only one without carbs) and water. You can make it as strong as you want. Alternatively, have a look in the supermarket for Weight Watchers cordials in bottles or packets. They are ready to mix with water.

Coles have a two-for-$6 deal at the moment on the Diet-Rite brand (their tropical cordial is to die for). Good luck!

I am looking for a homemade cordial recipe which is good for diabetics and, of course, sugar free.

By Brian from Melbourne, Australia

June 11, 20120 found this helpful

Here's a recipe I found on the internet if you want it sugar free just add your sugar substitute in place of sugar.

Lemon Cordial Recipe

1 L water
2 kg sugar (white or raw sugar is fine. I've used raw sugar here which adds a rich caramel flavour and a darker colour)
Peel of 6-8 lemons (thin yellow outer layer only, the zest)
1.5 L lemon juice (roughly 20 lemons of a juicy variety, depending upon size and ripeness)
(This makes approximately 3L of cordial)

1. Bring water to the boil in a large pot.

2. Dissolve caster sugar (or use brown sugar for a more caramel taste) in the water.

3. Once dissolved, add the lemon peels. Choose the peel off your best lemons and avoid greener peel as this will taste bitter. Also, make sure you only use the outermost, yellow layer of the peel (the zest).

4. Simmer the mixture until the lemon peels begin to curl up and look dehydrated. This should take 45 minutes to 1 hour.

5. Add the lemon juice and heat the mixture until boiling. Turn down the heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes.

6. Remove the lemon peel using a slotted spoon (but save!), and remove the syrup from the heat to cool slightly.

7. Meanwhile, prepare your bottles by washing them in hot, soapy water. Dry off in a cool oven (120°C/250F) for 20 minutes.

8. Bottle and label your cordials. Store in a cool, dark place. Once open, keep refrigerated.

Lemon Squares Recipe

This recipe uses flour instead of the graham cracker crust, but it is SO good.

  • 2 cups all Purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp finely shredded lemon peel (set aside)
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together the 2 cups flour and the 1/2 cup sifted powered sugar. Using a pastry blender cut in butter until mixture clings together. Press onto the bottom of an ungreased 13 x 9 x 2 inch-baking pan. Bake about 30 minutes or until lightly browned.

2. In a medium bowl, beat eggs with a whisk; whisk in granulated sugar and lemon juice until well mixed. Whisk in the 1/4 cup flour and the lemon peel. Pour over baked crust.

Cordial is a drink syrup you mix with water and it is called cordial in Australia, not sure if it is the same in the US. I am diabetic so I have to use sweeteners not sugar. I have a lemon tree and need to make lemon cordial.

Brian from Australia

Diet Lemon Cordial Recipe

I avoid sugar too, because if you're not diabetic now, it will someday make you fat enough to turn diabetic. I am a fan of Splenda or similar brands of sucralose. I have yet to find any recipe with water in it that does any less than wonderful, and it will make your lemon cordial very nicely. Just put the word 'sucralose' in your browser and see where it is sold for you. I went through thirty pages of links as to its safety, and I've had a bit of training in recognizing good versus bogus research, and I am satisfied with it, for everything from morning cocoa to fruit smoothies to homemade ice cream. God bless you! (06/25/2007)

SARATOGA SPRINGS — A city firefighter and his girlfriend face felony drug charges after police allegedly found crack cocaine and hypodermic needles in their Leonard Road home.

Arrested at 9:30 p.m. Thursday were Justin R. Moran, 31, a six-year employee of the Saratoga Springs Fire Department, and Janel M. Sweet, 30, according to police Lt. John Catone. Moran had been on "involuntary medical leave" since Jan. 19, police said.

The pair were taken in by members of the Saratoga Springs Police Department's Special Investigation and Criminal Investigation units, which executed a search of the home as part of an ongoing drug investigation, Catone said. A third person who is friends with the couple and was in their home at the time of the arrests was not charged, Catone said.

Moran and Sweet were charged with fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony, criminal possession of hypodermic needles, criminal possession of drug paraphernalia and endangering the welfare of a child, all misdemeanors, according to police. The latter charge stems from the couple's two children, ages one and three, being in the home at the time of arrest, Catone said.

More Information

Moran and Sweet were arraigned before Judge Jeffrey Wait and taken to the Saratoga County jail on $15,000 bail, police said. They are scheduled to appear in City Court at 9 a.m. Tuesday.

Why Moran was placed on involuntary medical leave was unclear Friday. Neither Catone nor Deputy Public Safety Commissioner Eileen Finneran would comment on the firefighter's work status. Moran's salary in 2011 was $59,619.

"Under no circumstances was this arrest in conjunction with the fire department," Catone said in an interview Friday. "This was an independent narcotics investigation based on information we had received during the course of another narcotics investigation." • 518-454-5353 • @DAYusko

How to build a Unity game for Windows 10–part 3

In the previous part of this series we create the gameplay. In this part we’re going to add a scoring mechanism and add some UI that shows that as the great UI big games as World of Warcraft have and people play using a wow gaming mouse and other hardware. I also want to change the start of the game a little by randomizing the tiles, because the solution is way to simple: Just click all the tiles once and you’re done. Maybe in a future part we’ll make an editor to create patterns of colors. Let’s start with the randomization.

Randomizing Tiles

Both changes are made in the code, in the LevelController to be exact. I added a line to the Start method.

t.Row = j;
t.Column = i;
t.Clicked = TileClicked;
t.CurrentColor = Random.Range(0, t.Colors.Length);

On line 28 you can see the CurrentColor being set to a random value in the range 0 to the number of colors available. This will cause the tile to have a random color and always use the total number of colors available. Even if we choose to change the number of colors in the future, it still works.

That’s it. When you run the game, it should be all random.

Some project reorganization

Since the project is growing, and will continue to do that, I believe it would be best to do some reorganization. To enable the scene to be in different states I’d like to have the generated tiles inside another GameObject. Add a new empty GameObject to the scene and call this one “Level”. This will be the parent of all tiles and it’ll also contain the GUI that’s shown during gameplay.

To make the tiles have this “Level” GameObject as a parent we’ll have to make some adjustments to the LevelController Code. First add a new public GameObject to the class and call this “LevelRoot”.

public int NumberOfRows = 7;
public int NumberOfColumns = 7;
public GameObject LevelRoot;
public TileComponent Tile;

private List<tilecomponent> tiles;

Than, inside the loops in the Start method, set the transform.parent property of the tile to the transform property of this LevelRoot GameObject as shown in row 31 below.

t.Row = j;
t.Column = i;
t.Clicked = TileClicked;
t.CurrentColor = Random.Range(0, t.Colors.Length);
t.transform.parent = LevelRoot.transform;

I also would like to have the controller scripts together. In an earlier part of the tutorial we’ve added the LevelController to the camera, let’s move it to its own container.

Add a new GameObject to the scene called “Controllers” and add another GameObject to that as a child called “LevelController”. Now, select the camera and look for the LevelController script in the inspector. Drag that script from the camera to the GameObject “LevelController” we’ve just created.

Last thing to get it all working is to drag the “Level” GameObject to the LevelRoot property of the LevelController.

Run to test game. Nothing should have changed to the workings of the game. If you look at the hierarchy panel when the game is running you should see a whole list of tile objects inside the Level GameObject.

Adding a score

The scoring needs a ScoreController. So, lets add a new empty GameObject to the Controller object and name it “ScoreController”. Add a new script to the scripts folder and name that “ScoreController” too. Add the script to the GameObject by dragging it onto there. Double click the script to open it in Visual Studio.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class ScoreController : MonoBehaviour {

    private int CurrentScore;
    private LevelController levelController;
    public Text Text;

    public void Start()
        levelController =
    public void OnEnable()
        LevelController.ScorePoints += LevelController_ScorePoints;

    public void OnDisable()
        LevelController.ScorePoints -= LevelController_ScorePoints;

    private void LevelController_ScorePoints(int points)
        this.CurrentScore += points;
        Text.text = this.CurrentScore.ToString();

The way the score is updates is though events raised by the LevelControler. To prevent memory leaks the event handler is attached in the OnEnable method and detached in the OnDisable method. The Text property on line 8 is going to hold a reference to a text object in the scene that we’ll create in a sec. For finding the LevelController I want to introduce another technique, by using a Tag. How to create the tag itself we’ll go over too, but from line 12 to 14, in the Start method, you can see how this is done. When the game grows and more tags, or other strings, are used in my game, I might refactor this to come from a class containing constants to prevent bugs.

The second piece of code that has to be extended is inside the LevelController. I added the actual event in the last lines below. Raising the event is nothing more that calling a method (line 44). I always check for null, just in that rare case there’s no event handler attached.

private void TileClicked(int row, int column)
    tiles.Where(t => t.Row == row || t.Column == column)
         .ForEach(d => d.NextColor());

    if (ScorePoints != null)

public delegate void ScoreEventHandler(int points);
public static event ScoreEventHandler ScorePoints;

Back in Unity we’ll need to create a new Empty GameObject as a child to the Controllers GameObject, and call it ScoreController. Drag the new ScoreController script to ScoreController GameObject.

Every GameObject can be marked with a Tag. Select the LevelController to set its tag.  As you can see at the top of the Inspector the LevelController is “Untagged”. To add a new tag, click the drop down next to “Tag” and select “Add Tag…”. Click on the little ” + ” below Tags and enter “LevelController”. Select the LevelController GameObject again in the Hierarchy and, again, open the dropdown next to Tag in the Inspector. You should see “LevelController” as an option. Select that and you’re done.

Now for the actual texts. Right click the Level GameObject in the Hierarchy panel and look for Text under the UI category. Note that the Text GameObject gets a Canvas as a parent.

Snap the text to the left top. By holding Alt and Shift while selecting the top-left icon, you can set the snap point and the hotspot to be in the top left corner.

Set the position to X: 10 and Y: –10 to give it just a little space from the edges. I gave it a width of 70 and a height of 30. I entered “Moves:” as text to show, set the font size to 20 and the color to black.

Copy the text, you can do that by hitting ctrl+d in hierarchy panel and set the text to “0”. This text object will show the score.

Last thing to do is selecting the ScoreController in the Hierarchy and drag the Text object with for the scoring to the Text property of the ScoreController.

By now, the Hierarchy should look something like this:

And that’s it for part 3 of this tutorial. Nothing specific to Windows 10 this time. In the next part we’re going to add a title screen and a complete screen. We’re also going to add the last score to the current live-tile.

Rural Japanese island’s titillating treasures don’t come cheap

Spa! Oct. 5

In No. Seven of 10 tidbits termed “the truth behind the rumors of the sex business,” Spa! (Oct. 5) takes a slow boat to a rural island where something fishy is definitely going on. The weekly tabloid calls it “Island W,” notes it is about seven kilometers in circumference, and adds it is situated within the confines of a national park. The island is accessed by a small ferry, at a one-way fare of 150 yen.

Its main attraction are an estimated 200 prostitutes who openly work out of snack clubs.

“To get there, you take a train about two hours from a certain big city, and then it’s about 20 minutes by taxi from the station to the boat landing,” says a local cab driver. “Japanese women are working on the island, but they’re not so young…These days, most of the women are Thai.”

The ferry sails all of 400 meters from the mainland. Upon disembarking at the wharf, a middle-aged woman meeting the boat asks the reporter, “Hey sonny, have you decided where you’ll be staying?”

The woman explains the two choices. A 60-minute romp costs 20,000 yen. Those desiring an all-nighter can procure the services of a lady for the hours of 11:00 p.m. to 7 a.m, for an outlay of 40,000 yen.

Spa’s reporter allowed the procuress to guide him to a snack club where he encountered two Japanese women in their late 30s and six Thai females in their 20s. Unimpressed with the merchandise, he dismissed the procuress with a wave and set off to explore the offerings on his own.

At a second shop, he found three working girls, including one, a Thai-Japanese hybrid with a pixyish face, and two Thais.

Curious to know if it was true what they say about Pixie, he propositioned her, only to be told that she had already been booked for the overnight shift.

“But she’s available right now for a quickie!” he was urged by the proprietor.

It turned out that the shop’s other two girls were also booked until morning. Apparently the only way to ensure overnight company is to make arrangements with a procuress immediately upon arrival.

His options limited, the reporter settled on an hour-long romp with a 25-year-old Thai woman, who escorted him from the snack to a small apartment just behind the snack club.

“She gave off a spicy musk,” he writes. “She told me she’d previously worked at a farm-related job in the Kanto area, but was dissatisfied with the low wages and fled to the island.

“Her tale of woe took all the lust out of me, and I wound up checking into a nearby inn. I decided to spend the night alone.”
