About Us

-Welcome to Helo Photography!-

I’m a laid back kind of guy with a FUN unique approach to photography. I have 13+ years of experience & have owned my current photography business for over 7 years. I’m always pushing myself to keep up with the latest in photography in efforts to achieve the best product I can. Over the past few years I’ve grown a sincere love for photographing weddings. Weddings are so magical & one of the most important days of one’s life, so being able to capture a lifetime of memories for couples is such an exciting and rewarding experience. I think of my clients as my friends and try to maintain a level of professionalism while making them feel as comfortable as I can. No wedding is ever the same, and no couple is ever the same so I love to hear my client’s ideas and viewpoints and enjoy incorporating them in with my own to achieve a vast array of photos. We have packages available for weddings, engagements, and bridals. If you have any special requests, we would be happy to try & design a package especially for you. Update!: We have now expanded our photography to offer both family and senior sessions, newborn photography, and more! It’s a huge honor to capture so many special aspects of my client’s lives.

-What’s with the name Helo?: Helo came about as my girlfriend’s niece, who was around 3 at the time, had trouble pronouncing Julio and would say my name as “HE-LO”. It stuck & I’ve loved it ever since!!!

-Location: We’re based out of San Antonio, Texas, but available for travel worldwide. We have photographed weddings in Hawaii, Las Vegas, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Fredericksburg, Boerne, and more. A large majority of weddings we photograph take place in the Texas hill country area.

-Turn Around Time: Quick! Photos will be available for viewing within at least 2 weeks from your event. Many times we can accommodate much sooner if requested.

Whether you consider them innovative anti-rockists or middle-of-the-road fuddyduddies, it's hard not to have a certain admiration for Everything but the Girl. As prime movers in the lite-jazz demi-movement that once included Swing Out Sister, Weekend, Sade and the Style Council (whose first album featured them on one song), Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn have made impressive brushes with chart success while attracting an exceedingly loyal following that has held fast through phases of bedsit musing, lounge jazz and even slick fern-bar pop.

Prehistory: Except for Thorn's flashes of vocal strength ("He Got the Girl" is pretty impressive), the Marine Girls' minimalist debut is a sorry attempt at writing and performing offbeat romantic pop. Between Thorn's hapless guitar playing (supported by bits of percussion, Jane Fox's marginally better bass work and occasional seagull sounds) and the quartet's two inept singers — one of whom, Alice Fox, would go on to form Grab Grab the Haddock — Beach Party is a winceable soiree worth missing. Produced by Stuart Moxham (Young Marble Giants/Gist), Lazy Ways is a lot better, although still not a complete treat. Besides an overall improvement in songwriting, Thorn's jazzy playing is vastly improved. With the first album's most egregious tune-mangler gone, Jane Fox's uneven singing has become the trio's weakest link, and she dooms a good chunk of the album to the wrong side of competence. (Lazy Ways and Beach Party were later combined on a single cassette and CD.)

While a member of the Marine Girls, Thorn cut A Distant Shore, a brief album of nostalgic singer/songwriter modernism with little more than an acoustic guitar for accompaniment. Her somewhat monotonous delivery hampers the effort, but a version of the Velvet Underground's stylistically apropos "Femme Fatale" helps considerably.

For his pre-EBTG part, Watt had recorded on his own as well as in conjunction with Robert Wyatt. The five-song Summer Into Winter is a disappointing collaboration; the quietly colorful minimal arrangements of guitar (Watt) and piano (Wyatt) are undercut by Watt's moany lead vocals. It's too bad: Wyatt's voice is much more enjoyable, and might have made something of these vague, atmospheric songs had he done more of the singing. On North Marine Drive, a wisp of airy melodicism with only a guest saxophonist joining Watt, the percussionless tracks still manage nicely syncopated, quasi-Latin rhythms; Watt's fine guitar playing and sincerely artless singing make it a quiet pleasure. (One CD contains both records.)

Named after a shop in Hull, Everything but the Girl debuted in January 1982 with a three-song British single that included Cole Porter's "Night and Day." The duo's first album, Eden, is a charming, fragile record delicately filled with winsome songs that drift in and out of neo-jazz-pop stylings but are never less than appealing and attractive. Showing enormous growth as a vocalist, Thorn makes the songs memorable even when the music is too low-key to stand out on its own. With harmonies that recall such wonders of the '60s as the Association, understated pop creations prove Everything but the Girl to be an exceptional, unconventional band.

Everything but the Girl, the American version of Eden, is a drastically different record, with six substitutions. (The entire second side of the US release is new.) The overall feel of the two albums is similar, but fans should seek out both versions, as there's hardly a dud among the 18 selections.

Watt tabled his more overtly jazzy riffs for Love Not Money, but the breezy ambience remained intact. The album leads off with the alluring "When All's Well" and continues with further literate considerations of growing up and getting along, including "Ugly Little Dreams," which is dedicated to actress Frances Farmer. The US edition adds "Heaven Help Me" and a version of Chrissie Hynde's "Kid." Some of the tracks leave the impression that, had Thorn been born a few years earlier, she could've given Petula Clark a run for her money as swinging London's fave songbird.

The Angel EP features one affecting song from Love Not Money, a version of "Easy as Sin" sung by Watt (instead of Thorn, as it appears on the first US LP), plus two non-album tracks that rank among the duo's finest. "Pigeons in the Attic Room" and "Charmless Callous Ways" sound like demos, Thorn alone with guitar and piano respectively, singing at her most emotionally direct.

The cover of Baby, the Stars Shine Bright notes that it was "arranged for orchestra by Ben Watt." Indeed, other than his guitar playing, a prominent rhythm section and a pianist/organist, the musical backing consists of strings, horns and a choir. Fortunately, Thorn's rich voice and the pair's soaringly melodic songs carry it off without losing momentum. The music is neither sappy nor dull; the orchestra's role is supportive without shirking center stage. Like classic Dionne Warwick sides, rock'n'roll energy and excitement is channeled into subtle sophistication that brings the music to life in vivid colors. Pointedly topical lyrics on "Sugar Finney" (for Marilyn Monroe) and "Little Hitler" don't undercut the songs' delicate beauty; other standouts are "Don't Leave Me Behind," "Fighting Talk" and "Cross My Heart."

The Come on Home EP features two versions of a sweeping ballad from Baby, the Stars Shine Bright, a classic C&W weeper by Thorn called "Draining the Bar" and an ill-advised stab at "I Fall to Pieces." Don't Leave Me Behind joins another song from the same LP with B-side covers of Jimmy Webb's "Where's the Playground, Susie" (sung by Watt) and Bacharach's "Alfie" (sung by Thorn).

Fortunately, the orchestral experiment proved short- lived: for Idlewild, the couple employed a bassist and a sensitive, pared-down horn section that served to underscore the album's pervasive melancholy. Thorn's lyrics have never been this introspective or revealing; the plainly articulated longings and autobiographical expositions resonate through "Oxford Street," "Blue Moon Rose," "Apron Strings" and "Shadow on a Harvest Moon" like a rainy day. With understated, superficially mild-on-arrival music, this is an achingly sad record, filled with quiet grief and deep disappointments, as engrossing as watching waves crash against a storm-tossed beach. (The British version includes a devastating cover of Danny Whitten's "I Don't Want to Talk About It," which became the duo's biggest UK hit to date — but was left off the US release.)

These Early Days includes a remix of one bittersweet song from Idlewild and adds Watt's "Dyed in the Grain," Thorn's "Another Day, Another Dollar" and country singer Paul Overstreet's "No Place Like Home."

The Language of Life is a trickier read. On one hand, it's a virtually complete surrender to the pressures of the commercial market, as evidenced by the degree to which the duo turns the reins over to producer Tommy LiPuma (perhaps best known for his work with George Benson, but also Miles Davis). But the sound is also a natural evolution of the duo's prior moves towards a classic (i.e., pre-rock) pop presentation. Granted, some of the songs would have sounded more sincere without the studio glitz and passionless contempo-jazz session players, but Thorn's "Meet Me in the Morning" and Watt's "The Road" (featuring saxman Stan Getz, whose bossa nova work was an early influence on the duo) are keepers that stand up with the pair's best. And the cover of Womack and Womack's "Take Me" hints at what they're aiming for: sophisticated, romantic adult pop.

EBTG's ever-changing moods see them swing the pendulum back to more intimate (though still glossy) environs for Worldwide. Watt sculpts the sound a bit more authoritatively than he has in the past, emphasizing salable-sounding electronic keyboards on songs like "Old Friends" and "Talk to Me Like the Sea" (which sees him turn in a surprisingly effective vocal performance). Thorn again shines as both singer and lyricist, as borne out by "Understanding" and "British Summertime," either of which could elicit a sigh from the hardest of hearts. The Driving EP offers a "radio edit" of the album's overproduced single plus the umpteenth cover of Tom Waits' "Downtown Train," with Watt handling the lead vocals.

For those who'd grown edgy about Everything but the Girl's continuing infatuation with studio gew-gaws, Acoustic (a full-length expansion of the surprisingly successful covers EP, which contains Mickey & Sylvia's "Love Is Strange," Elvis Costello's "Alison," Bruce Springsteen's "Tougher Than the Rest" and Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time") was the perfect tonic. In the sparest of settings, Watt and Thorn essay a handful of covers and reprise some of their best, most tender material. It's a strikingly well-considered move, one that not only presages the wealth of subsequent "unplugged" sets, but far outstrips most in terms of execution. Songs like The Language of Life's "Driving" and a reworking of Worldwide's "One Place" aren't merely quieter replicas but exhaustively refashioned works in their own right. Thorn benefits most from the climate, slipping easily into a sensuous simmer on the live "Apron Strings," but Watt gets into the spirit as well, eking some serious emotion out of his rendition of Tom Waits' "Downtown Train."

Watt was hospitalized for three months in mid-'92, suffering from a rare auto-immune system disease. He recovered the following year and the group continued, recording two new songs with producer Phil Ramone for the British-only greatest-hits collection.

More than two years elapsed between Acoustic and Amplified Heart, yet the hushed timbres and largely downcast moods remain the same. Deeply confessional in tone, the songs almost uniformly address lost loves with the desperate directness of diary entries: against gentle, slowly unfolding backing, Thorn pours out what sound like stream-of-consciousness pleas alternately written on her own (the twice-shy "Troubled Mind") and by Watt (the achingly solitary "Rollercoaster"). Instrumentally, Watt turns back to accentuating his deft, Joe Pass-derived guitar playing (particularly effective on the uncharacteristically cloudless "We Walk the Same Line") and crafting vintage-soul arrangements (the Philly- styled "Missing"). There may be better music for crying in your beer, but as far as weeping into your martini, there's no topping Everything but the Girl.

In 1994, Thorn guested on Massive Attack's Protection; she and Watt used the experience to springboard their group into a new creative era. Setting aside all past commitments to guitar, jazz-pop and orchestration, Walking Wounded drops Everything but the Girl gently into the programmed electronic slipstream of ultra-modern dance idioms: "Before Today" is a most delicate jungle expedition, while the title track (presented in two mixes) walks a trip-hop line around jungle's skittery rhythms. A strange development, but done with the band's impeccable good taste and sonic sophistication.

Nesting declining on west coast of Sal

Visited Algodoeiro yesterday for the first time since I returned to Sal last month.  It made my heart sink to see the  construction going on.  In 2007, the first year I was here, we saw turtles laying nests right at the back of this beach.  Now, with the exception of a few meters of beach at the front, an area that is easily flooded, the beach is so degraded and compacted it would be impossible for a turtle to dig.  The fences, ditches, lumps of concrete and construction lights will be a death trap for hatchlings later in the year

In 2008 there were 61 nests laid on this section of beach - 17.6% of all nests on Sal.  In 2009 the percentage dropped to an astonishingly low 5%.  A decrease in nesting activity of 12.6% in only 12 months.  While development might not be the only reason, it is the most obvious contributing factor.

Increases in habitation is a double edged sword - on the one hand it will probably signal the cessation of hunting of turtles in the area, since there is too much risk of being caught, while on the other hand, it will cause more disturbance on the beach with lighting and people, not to mention beach furniture and beach umbrellas limiting the usable area.

Developers can mitigate the effects if they have the will - a few simple steps such as not building too close to the high water mark, turtle friendly lighting and educating residents and guests all help.  For our part I envisage a lot more work, every nest in this area will need to be moved this season as the risk of hatchlings becoming disorientated is too great.

In the meantime nesting season is upon us and we have open ditches just waiting for unsuspecting turtles.

Killing turtles with love?

As I was reading about India's decision to cease tourism in tiger sanctuaries it made me stop and think about whether our own turtle tourism programme was a good thing or a bad thing.  The article quoted instances of tigers being 'hounded' by tour buses using satellite telemetry and hotels preventing them moving through their territory.

Our own tourism programme is very small by comparison, sixteen people a night on two different beaches and we rely on this to fund our protection work.  From the outset, our view was that the only way to stop people killing turtles on Sal was to deter hunting and the best way to do this in the short term is to have people on the beaches watching what is going on.  There is no doubt that taking guests (which includes groups of local residents, returning emigrants, politicians and school children) to watch nesting is an important part of this strategy and it has a strong role in educating people regarding the imminent extinction of loggerheads in this country.

The problems come when poor practices start to creep in.  There have always been local tour guides taking guests to the beach at night during the season, but sadly, the majority are not well informed and do not adhere to international turtle watching guidelines.  We have seen tour guides with large groups (20+), allowing their guests to use flash photography, walk on top of nests and even sit on the turtle for a photograph.  One tour guide regularly turns the turtles upside down so guests can get a good look at her.  Another abandoned a turtle to hunters without calling either SOS Rangers or the police (fortunately we were in time to save her).  We do not want to prevent others taking guests to the beach, but we urgently need regulations and a licensing system to prevent things getting out of hand.

A recently written report (Nesting activity of Caretta caretta and Beach Surveillance on Sal Island - Silvia P. P. Lino) states that the decline in mortality of nesting loggerheads on Sal

"can be considered a good indicator that the presence of highly trained Rangers on the nesting beaches does not disturb the turtles and allows them to nest successfully, in contrast to areas where the presence of hunters and other human activity (such as in Santa Maria) have a negative influence on the nesting activity."

In the meantime we love this photo from Nat Geo's photos of the year.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Jakob Jenkov
Last update: 2014-05-23

Service oriented architecture (SOA) is an architecture where independent systems and applications communicate with each other by exposing and using services. Services are defined using open standards, making inter-communication much easier to implement, and less dependent on proprietary communication protocols.

From DOA to SOA

SOA follows the idea of a Distributed Object Architecture (DOA) where objects in applications could move around freely between servers and call each other remotely etc. The idea was that an object calling another object should not have to know whether the called object was residing locally, or remotely. This should be transparent to the calling object.

This architecture is slowly being abandoned, as too fine grained distributed object communication is both very complex, and does not perform well.

Distributed objects are complex because there are more error possibilities when calling a remote object, than when calling a local. For instance, you typically need two phase commit transactions to coordinate a distributed transaction, where a single phase transaction may do locally.

Additionally, you had less control over the communication overhead incurred from unnecessary out-of-process communication, and from moving objects between "containers" or "servers" behind your back. Thus application designers wanted to be able to control location of objects, to lower complexity and increase performance.

A distributed object architecture.
A distributed object architecture.

Instead larger grained less mobile services have been introduced - SOA. Service can move, but they typically do not move as dynamically as people imagined distributed objects would. Additionally, when you call a service you are typically aware that you are calling a remote entity. This means that you have better control of both complexity and performance.

A service oriented architecture (SOA).
A service oriented architecture.

Some people sarcastically say that SOA stands for "Same Old Architecture" - which is actually not that far from the truth. Todays services are strikingly alike yesterdays remote procedure call protocols. The main difference is that today services are more and more communicating via open standards, like SOAP, REST etc. meaning the communication layer becomes easier to implement. SOA is not, however, the big increaser of "Return on Investment" as some authors wants you to believe.

Another difference is that SOA introduces a set of new concepts, and attempts to standardize some existing concepts across the industry. Some of these concepts are:

  • Enterprise Service Bus
  • Service Composition
  • Service Transactions
  • Service Repositories
  • Service Orchestration

I will get into many of these concepts in later texts in this trail.

They Got Morgan Freeman: Actor Is Being Accused Of Sexual Harassment By At Least Eight Women, Get The Details Inside…IT DOESN’T LOOK GOOD!

This one shouldn’t surprise you. Morgan Freeman has always given off a bit of a creepy old man vibe, and now at least eight women are coming forward accusing him of sexual harassment.

One of the allegations comes from a production assistant who worked on Freeman’s movie “Going In Style,” in 2015. She told CNN that the 80-year-old actor repeatedly tried to lift up her skirt to see if she was wearing any underwear.

Co-star Alan Arkin reportedly saw him doing it once and told him to stop. Another woman who worked with Freeman on a different film claims he constantly made inappropriate comments about her body. This victim claims every woman on set knew to cover up when they were around Freeman.

“CNN reporter Chloe Melas said she too was subject to Freeman’s misconduct … when she was 6 months pregnant and interviewing him during a media junket. Melas claims Freeman told her she looked ripe, and repeatedly insinuated he wished he’d been there when she got pregnant.”

In total, CNN talked to 16 people. 8 of those people had been harassed by Freeman and the other 8 reportedly witnessed Freeman’s misconduct.

Freeman has responded to the allegations with the classic, “I didn’t INTENTIONALLY mean to make anyone uncomfortable”

“Anyone who knows me or has worked with me knows I am not someone who would intentionally offend or knowingly make anyone feel uneasy. I apologize to anyone who felt uncomfortable or disrespected — that was never my intent.”

That excuse just doesn’t work anymore. You can’t lift up someone’s skirt and then be like, “Wait, whaaat? That makes you uncomfortable?” OF COURSE IT DOES!

Battle for Meghalaya: Modi, Rajnath likely to lead BJP campaign

No sooner the curtains are set to fall for election campaign in Tripura, where polling is to be held on Sunday, the BJP poll strategists are working overtime now to launch aggressive campaign in Congress-ruled Meghalaya.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to campaign in Phulbari in Garo Hills on February 21 or 22, a key source in Meghalaya BJP told. Phulbari hamlet is located in Selsella Tehsil of West Garo Hills district.

Among other top leaders, BJP may field Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh for election campaign in key political constituency of Garo Hills in Tura. “We are expecting Mr Rajnath Singhji on February 19,” the source said. For the prestigious South Tura Assembly seat, the BJP has fielded Billykid A Sangma, who is taking on among others former Union Minister Agatha Sangma of NPP.  BJP national president Amit Shah is slated to address two election rallies, one each at Jowai in Jaintia Hills and in the state capital Shillong, on Friday.

Jowai is the headquarters of West Jaintia Hills district. “The Shillong rally will be held at the Malki ground,” the source said. The high-profile election campaign in Tripura ends on Friday and the stage will be set for electioneering in two other northeastern states of Meghalaya and Nagaland. Nagaland and Congress-ruled Meghalaya will go to the polls on February 27. The counting of votes for all three northeastern states will be taken up simultaneously on March 3.

Meanwhile talking to UNI, BJP’s South Tura assembly candidate Billykid A Sangma said that besides development, corruption under Congress Chief Minister Mukul Sangma is a major poll issue in this year’s polls in Meghalaya. “I am very sad and it is also surprising that even as Meghalaya is one of the poorest states in the country, there are allegations that our Chief Minister (Mukul Sangma) is one of the most corrupt Chief Ministers in the country,” he said. South Tura has about 30,000 voters and the electorate comprises of native Garo tribe besides Hajong, Koch and others like Nepalis, Bengalis and Biharis.

Answering questions, Mr Billykid, who represented South Tura earlier between 2003 and 2008 as Independent MLA, said, “Since 2008, Tura has not changed. Roads are same. Engineering College and a medical college were supposed to come, but nothing materialised”. He said, “It’s only BJP which can deliver these developments”. Talking about Modi government’s performance, he said, the demonetisation will prove as a “blessing and a boon for all of us in the long run”. He also said the move helped the government directly and indirectly to crush the insurgency among Garo militants. “It was a brave move by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he showed the courage,” Mr Sangma said, adding that due to note ban, the militants really had tough time. “Demonetisation had a big role in curbing militancy,” he said.

Sharing his vision for Tura if he gets elected, the BJP nominee said, “I will be pushing for Tura bypass as we need to improve upon the road connectivity”. He further said he would strive to push the railway network up to Jengjal area adding the people of Mendipathar have “really benefited from the railway network”. To a question, Mr Sangma dismissed suggestions that introduction of railway network will also bring in a large number of ‘outsiders’ into the state – an issue often raised in the tribal dominated states in the northeast.

“As of now this fear was there….but Mendipathar is an example, nothing is happening there,” he said. Answering questions, Mr Sangma said his election is chiefly against NPP leader Agatha, the sister of Lok Sabha MP and NPP chief Conrad Sangma.  The BJP nominee also said that BJP is “not a communal or anti-Christian party as made out to be” and added: “only elected Christian leaders Sangmas and Maraks will make laws and run the government for the Christians in Meghalaya”. In 2013, Independent candidate John Leslee K Sangma had defeated Billykid A Sangma, then a Congress candidate, by a slender margin of only 18 votes.

How to have a successful first date

How to have a successful first date

How to have a successful first date

First Dates are always nerve wracking and some people love them or hate them, a bit like marmite. We are always being asked to give date advice and top tips so we thought it about time we tackled the issue of first date etiquette and how to be successful. Here are some essential skills to mastering the art of first dates…

There are some really simple steps you can follow to turn a good first date into a great one.

  1. Speak to each other at least 24 hours before you are meeting so you are comfortable hearing each other’s voice.  Confirm where you are meeting and at what time.
  2. Preparation is key, so ensure you have plenty of time to get ready and ideally don’t go straight from work. This allows you to relax and feel good.
  3. Wear clothes that you are comfortable in and make you feel confident.
  4. Smell nice. A little bit of perfume or aftershave is a must.
  5. Brush teeth. Oral hygiene is key.

First Date Etiquette

  1. Smile, everyone likes a smile and a smile says so much more than words.
  2. Don’t eat food, just have a drink, keep it simple, go for a walk, and somewhere you can talk to get to know each other better.
  3. Don’t get drunk on the date or drink before the date.
  4. Be your natural self and don’t pretend to be someone you are not or make out that you are someone else. Relax and be you.
  5. Keep your mobile phone switched off.
  6. Don’t talk about ex-partners or any past relationship disasters or even great past relationships. You are there to know about each other and get to know the date you are on.
  7. Talk about holidays, your hobbies, interests, food, funny things you have done, keep it light and fun.
  8. Avoid talking too much about work or questioning your date about work, you don’t want it turning into an interview or business meeting.
  9. Ask questions of each other, nothing too deep and meaningful unless you are both in that space, but be curious and ask questions of your dates life, interests and fun things that they like and things that they really don’t like.  Find similarities and share stories with each other so you are comfortable with each other.
  10. Be polite and courteous to each other, Guys remember chivalry it goes a long way.
  11. Girls say thank you if the guy buys you drinks.
  12. If you go in for the kiss on a date, don’t wait until the end of the date, if there is a moment that seems appropriate then just test the water with a light fun flirty kiss and take it from there.

What next

  1. If you like the person you are on a date with say so! Tell them you have had a nice time and want to see them again.
  2. If it hasn’t gone well, be polite and say that you feel it wouldn’t be right to see them again. It’s best to be friends.

Well, we hope you have some good tips to make you feel more comfortable, but essentially be yourself and have fun! With love from us all at Elect Club 02037145375 or

Phonetic deals with the production of speech , organ of speech , suprasegmental phonemes : stress, intonation, rhythm, pitch, length, and pause, weak and strong pronunciation, transition of sounds, as well as the introduction phonetic symbols and their use in pronunciation.
Phonetic is a science that studies that studying sounds/speech sounds/ phonemes as merely sounds without trying to find out to the function to distinguish meaning.
Phonetics as a research discipline has three main branches:
  • Articulatory phonetics is concerned with the articulation of speech: The position, shape, and movement of articulators or speech organs, such as the lips, tongue, and vocal folds.
  • Acoustic phonetics is concerned with acoustics of speech: The properties of the sound waves, such as their frequency and harmonics. The study of the sound waves made by the human vocal organs for communication.
  • auditory phonetics is concerned with speech perception: How speech sounds are categorized, recognized, and interpreted by the auditory apparatus and the brain. It studying how speech sounds are perceived by the ear, auditory nerve, and brain.

Phonetic transcription (or phonetic notation) is the visual system of symbolization of the sounds occurring in spoken human language. The most common type of phonetic transcription uses a phonetic alphabet (such as the international phonetic alphabet).
Phonetic transcription:
1.      Picture / ideographic writing: Writing in which each character is a picture of an objects or idea. Example : the hieroglyphs of the ancient Egyptians
2.      Alphabetic writing : Writing in which each character represents speech sounds.
3.      Syllabic writing / syllabery : a writing system in which each character represents a syllable

1.      Segmental phonemes / features
Sound units arranged in a sequential order
Example : murderous       7 segmental features
                  Phonetically [`mə:dәrəz]
2.      Supra-segmental phonemes
Such features as stress, pitch, length, intonation and other features that always accompany the production of segmental.

·         Stress: the degree of force or loudness with which a syllable is pronounced so as to give it prominence (menonjol)
·         Syllable: consist of a vowel or diphthong, with or without one or more than one consonant preceding or following it. The psychological feature at a syllable is that it’s produced with one single impulse of breathe.
·         Degrees of stress:
1.      Strong/primary stress
2.      Medium/secondary stress
3.      Weak/tertiary stress
·         Length: the period of time during which a sound is produced in a given utterance.
1.      The absolute length of that sound: a length of a sound is measured in terms of units of fine such as seconds or tenths of second.
Example: the length of [a:] in [fa:δə] is 0,12 seconds
2.      The relative length of that sounds: measure comparatively in relation to the other sounds in the same utterance.
Example: sound [a:] is longer than [ә] in [fa:δə]

1.      Pitch Levels, Clause Terminals and Intonation Contours
Each syllable is said with some degree of lowness or highness of tone which is called ‘pitch’. The going up and down of pitch over different syllables in an utterance is called ‘intonation’. The highest pitch which usually coincides with the strongest syllable in the utterance is calleeed the head or centre of the intonation contour.
2.      The High-low Falling Intonation [31  ] or [231   ]
It’s used e.g. in orders, decided statements, prohibitions, and questions-word questions
Example :
-          Order, calls and exclamation
      stay here
            Good heavens !
            Hi darling.
-          Decided of final statements
      The sun rises in the east
-          Question-word-question ( information question )
What is your name?
What plants live on insects?

3.      The Mid-high rising intonation [23     ]
It’s used in simple (or yes-no ) questions, polite requests, statements implyingconcern, sorrow, apology or other emotions, or other statements of less definite type.
Example :
-          Simple ( yes no questions
Have you got the tickets for us?
-          Polite requests and miscellaneous emotional statements
Please sit down and concentrate on your lesson.
Don’t be afraid.
4.      High-normal Sustained Intonation [23       ]
This intonation pattern is normally used in enumeration or in counting, and is terminated by falling intonation.
Example: When we went to USA we visited Lost Angeles       , Houston      , New Orleans       , Washington       , Alabama       , and Texas.
However, a distinction in meaning is caused by the presence and absence of a sustained intonation such as in the following sentences.
Are reading Tome Sawyer?                : The question is addressed to Tom Sawyer.
5.      Some additional notes on intonation patterns
Phrases consisting of adjectives and nouns, or nouns and nouns, which level stressing, have a falling intonation with the centre of intonation on the last element.
a ‘white ‘house   (house that is white)
a ‘green ‘house   (house that is green)
Compound words with primary and secondary stresses also take the falling intonation, but with the centre of the intonation on the first element.

‘henpecked                  ‘White house
‘headlight                    ‘seaweed
·         Structural and Content Word
The strong form of a word is that form of pronunciation, which is used when it is found in stressed or final positions, or in isolation. The weak form word is that form of pronunciation, which is used when it occurs in an unstressed position.
Strong and weak forms are commonly called structural or function words, such as auxiliaries, prepositions, articles, and pronouns.
Content words like nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs, are always stressed in a sentence.
It’s the way of moving from one sound to another sound in speaking .
Examples :
-          Nitrate           [ naitreit ]
-          Night—rate   [ nait + reit ]
-          Nye trait        [ naI + treit ]

WA Vacation: Day 3

Today was a pretty relaxing day! We went to Oregon to by groceries for fourth of July then we went to the beach again and now we're grilling for dinner! My brother's and I are planning on camping outside the house tonight! Nothing too over the top exciting but tomorrow's going to be full of excitement! S'mores, family stories, bonfire on the beach, and fireworks on the beach :) It's going to be beautiful!
 We skyped with our cousins who live in New Zealand last night! It was really fun to talk to them since we haven't been able to meet each other in person. The little one dancing and making a funny face is Miguel who is 7 years old and reminds me a lot of my brother Charles and the girl next to him is my cousin Bea who is 16, she's only 3 months younger than me :) I'm hoping one day to meet them in person!
 This morning when we woke up my uncle told us to come out slowly and quietly. I was so surprised when I saw these two deer right outside of our beach house! They were the cutest things I've ever seen and they came so close to us! Things like this never happen in Indiana.
Lastly, my brothers and I decided to head down to the beach again but this time with a new toy! It was super fun and the weather was again perfect! The sunsetting was so beautiful and scenic! I haven't been disappointed yet by this trip! Everything's been so perfect and relaxing :)
Now we're off to gather around the campfire and make s'mores!

I hope everyone has had an equally amazing day!
Have a great 4th of July tomorrow!

  1. Lovely photos - the beach looks beautiful!

  2. Your photos look gorgeous! That's so cool how close the deer came to you!

  3. Have a great vacation! =)

The most memorable and important section of a person's home is the kitchen. Carrying out the task to repair or remodel a kitchen can lead to a productive atmosphere for cooking, cleaning, and managing your home. This process can also bring up several questions. Where do I start? What materials should I use? Is it best to hire someone to complete the project or should I do it myself? There are several things to consider such as appliances, lighting, tile, cabinets, and countertops. Selecting the correct materials, procedures, or handyman can help this project become a breeze.

Keep our Lake Clean!

I was born and raised here in Knoxville  and returned over 4 years ago with my two  sons .  I grew up in Sequoyah Hills with Cherokee Boulevard as my playground and Fort Loudoun Lake (it was a river then) was where I learned to water ski and escape with my friends.  I remember pretending I was at the beach when the “Volunteer Navy” roared by in their gigantic boats splashing what seemed like 4 foot waves up on the muddy shore line.  At the time, that particular area of the lake had a foul smell  , but I guess I was used to it.  In the early 80’s , I completed scuba lessons and had to do my check out dive in that lake.  Thank goodness they required a wetsuit and I didn’t have any open wounds for that water to get into. Basically , that lake was used as an unmonitored dumping  ground for trash and sewer. There was a bumper sticker back then that had a cartoon character with it’s head in a toilet and the caption read ”I survived Fort Loudoun Lake” .  That was then.

This is now.  I was recently retained by a  young organization that cleans up our lake called the “Fort Loudoun Lake Association”  (FLLAKE.ORG).  They are a non-profit organization that serves  Knox, Blount, and Loudon counties, maintaining 52 river miles and 360 miles of shoreline.  These hard working folks remove trash and debris  from the lake and provide water quality testing and perform stream assessment on creeks and storm water monitoring. They are avid educators with out reach programs and community service opportunities for adults and youth.  In 2010, they removed 1,400 bags of trash and 10,000 logs. Without them , not only would our lake be unliveable , we would have many more boating accidents and injuries.  A clean lake attracts more recreational play and  helps our University and businesses grow.

They are truly the guardians of our lake and are supported by municipal contracts, grants and donations. The Fort Loudoun Lake Association’s Annual Raising of the Water Celebration is their largest fund raiser and will gather lake lovers on Saturday April 28th at Concord Marina . It will open with a Native American blessing of the water  at 3:30 PM, followed by luxury boat cruises ,  live music ,dancing, catered dinner and silent and live auctions.  For more information and tickets call 865-523-3800 or email

Welcome back Mamma!

My Mamma came home with a new heart today. Her old heart was big. I mean really, figuratively and literally. It was actually swollen from working inefficiently. But, I think it is from all the love she gives unconditionally – I have tears while writing that. Anyway, we will soon celebrate her 88th year of life on this ever rapidly changing earth. And, that I am the hostess and chef…well, thank God she is home.  I have committed to making banana bread for her birthday cake because it is healthy and, well; we need to use the aging bananas in our window. Her recipe is an old fashioned recipe where you have to “cream shortening”. Does anyone know what that is? Beating a softened, (room temperature), stick of butter on high, with beaters in a bowl. Then I had all these flour choices: regular all purpose, whole wheat graham(yum!), or bread flour. I had to run to the living room where she had dozed off, to ask her opinion. She said the whole wheat graham would be too heavy, so to pour lightly – Do you know what lightly means? When pouring flour from bag to cup, spoon it lightly, fluffing each spoonful on top of the other to get a true cup of flour. Well, we decided to go half all purpose and half whole wheat so it wouldn’t be too heavy. All purpose flour because bread flour was made for bread machines. The end result was scrumptious. I dare say, that without my dozing Mamma(chef emeritus), I would have screwed up! Welcome back Mamma!

URBhana Celebrated Her One Year Anniversary!

July celebrated Urbhana’s one year anniversary with music from Radio Harvest and art by Asheville teen, Thomas Bell.  Urbhana continues to grow with life skills and business coaching delivered to individuals and groups by founder, Angela Howard.

For the past year she has been facilitating her clients dreams into reality.  They speak their dreams and, within months they see them materialize from what was only a thought before. Angela’s clients are raving about their success!

Urbhana’s Aerial Dance classes on Wednesday have produced students who now can choreograph their own performances. Mondays continue with Danskinetics and, are now featuring low impact movement by Barbara Rose from the Rose Wellness Center. Urbhana is very excited to have Barbara Rose fill her studio with loving movement and healing energy.

Yoga with Molly McClellan on Tuesdays has had a steady flow. While Angie Collins grows her MoolMoni Yoga with yoga coaching.

Come by for a visit and have a cup of cold, healing tea from the Amazon.

What I’ve Been Told Lately…

What I’ve been told lately is that people have found themselves attracted to URBhana, like a lighthouse on the stormy construction site of Gay St. Most people have shared that the name URBhana came to them via either email, word of mouth, or ESP. One particular story I’d like to share is this: during one First Friday event, an agoraphobic woman found herself at the end of the sidewalk of Gay St. and really did not know which way to go or what to do. All of a sudden she looked up and saw some people in front of the door of URBhana and said to her boyfriend, “I need to go there.” She entered into URBhana on that First Friday, and on that particular evening we had a theater group and oil paintings and portraits. The air conditioning wasn’t working so well, and it was hot and crowded. Something shifted inside of her (call it URBhana’s energy 🙂 ) and she found herself opening up and talking to Angie Collins, the creater/founder of the Awakened Woman Workshops, and myself, Angela Howard, founder of URBhana. She lit up so much that we asked her to be a presenter at the next Awakened Woman Workshop. On that Saturday, we witnessed a most vibrant, wide-open, confident, creative writing and play-wright master (she just received her Masters degree from UT) sharing poetry from her play “Exposed” and singing at the top of her lungs to the tune of “Fat Bottom Girls.”

If there is anyone else out there with an URBhana story, please share it because it is fascinating what URBhana has already started to create in downtown Knoxville.

February First Friday

Even though the steady rain could have been a potential deterrent, February’s First Friday event that took place last week was an incredible success! The friendly, warm atmosphere was such a contrast to the weather outside, and crowds were mingling all evening. Joining us this month was band Radio Harvest, back by popular demand, and Krysty Jones, who had photography for sale on the walls. Her intriguing photographs will be up for the entire month of February and are worth coming by to see!

The phenomenal live music provided by Radio Harvest kept the crowds coming for the whole evening, and their mix of originals and cover songs was a hit! (Call 865-951-5454 for information about bookings.)

With the help of these talented artists to draw the crowds, we thankfully attracted the attention of many first-time URBhana visitors who are interested in some of the things we have going on here at URBhana. 2010 is turning out to be an exhilarating year for us, and we’re only two months into it! We are so excited to be able to offer a variety of classes and workshops, and it is such a thrill to have Knoxville’s support in this venture. All of the classes we are offering are filling up fast, so hurry and contact us for your slot in DansKinetics, Pilates, or Aerial Dance! The Awakened Woman workshop, scheduled to take place on March 20th, is also filling up quickly. This workshop will incorporate the arts and techniques of four of Knoxville’s leading women in instructional movement, working together to promote confidence and empowerment for women. For more information on this event, call 865-748-6885.

We at URBhana are so glad to have the chance to bring such exciting opportunities to Knoxville. Come check us out at 115 Gay St., and see what we’re all about!

So far in 2010…

So much has happened in the past few months since we last wrote!

December and January’s First Friday events went off without a hitch, despite the construction in front of URBhana making the place look like a war zone! Many dear friends of URBhana also managed to brave the cold weather to come support our events. Angela Hill’s “Little Sis” technology that converted movements into sound was extremely popular with the January First Friday crowd, and her somatic movement therapy workshops drew plenty of interest as well.

December also saw the Circle Modern’s phenomenal Primitive Light show, including many original and inspiring dance pieces. Each showing of the three-night production was a huge success.

This past weekend, URBhana took part in Knoxville’s Healthy Living Expo! The two-day event was a success, despite the snowy weather keeping many people off of the roads. At the expo, we introduced what a few of our new classes will look like, including Pilates and DansKinetics. Both demonstrations drew much interest, prompting quite a few people to sign up for the classes. The DansKinetics classes will be held on Monday evenings from 6 – 7:15. Rates are $15 for a drop-in, or $60 for a package of ten. Call 865.951.5454 for information about Pilates classes.

February’s First Friday will feature photography from Krysty Jones and music from returning band Radio Harvest. The evening is sure to be an enjoyable one, come by and check us out!

November First Friday

This month’s First Friday Event was a phenomenal success for URBhana! The evening began with performances from some of the members of the Circle Modern Dance Co. Around 7, dancers from Salome Cabaret’s Burlesque Academy entertained the crowds with examples of traditional burlesque. Onlookers were treated to a routine of slapstick comedy, singing, and classic vaudeville. It was fascinating to have the opportunity to see traditional burlesque, an art form that orginated to make a mockery out of the upper class.

Shelby Gordon, an art student at UT, provided the visual art. Her photography and multimedia collages were admired all evening long, and five pieces were sold. Her work will be on display at URBhana for the month of November.

All in all, this month’s First Friday Event was a fantastic evening of entertainment at URBhana. If you missed us this month, be sure to come by on December 4 for next month’s event. It too promises to be an wonderful evening.

First Friday Events

We have had wonderful First Friday events every month since our Grand Opening in July! We are so excited to have had the opportunity to be the venue for such fantastic evenings of socializing and facilitating the discovery of local artists. Here is a brief overview of what each month’s event looked like:

August: This was our second First Friday event, and it was just as exciting as the first! We hosted two local up-and-coming bands, Radio Harvest and Space for Lease, and both were a hit. People were stopping by to listen in at every point in the evening.

September: This month’s First Friday event featured local tribal belly dancers along with the photographic art of Molly Harrell. The belly dancers gave 6 performances at different times during the evening, providing exotic and intriguing entertainment for onlookers. They drew a crowd for each performance, and the crisp evening air that signified the beginnings of fall added to the atmosphere. All in all, this was a wonderful evening.

October: Back by popular demand, the band Radio Harvest and Molly Harrell were the featured artists of the evening. Radio Harvest provided four straight hours of phenomenal musical entertainment. This talented band is made up of 16 and 17 year old Webb High School students, and their sound and style caught the eye of one of the crowdmembers, getting them another booking! Be on the lookout in the near future for their next gig around town!

Our next First Friday event will be Friday, November 6. Be sure to stop by for what promises to be another fantastic night!

Grand Opening a Success!

On July 3, 2009 URBhana opened it’s doors to the public for the first time.  It was a gorgeous temperate evening with a typical middle-of-the-summer, laid-back feeling in the air.  Around 5 pm, our first guests strolled in to our open creative space with eclectic art on the walls and an aerial silk hanging from the ceiling.  Scott, the bartender, tended to the guest’s refreshment desires and was heard cracking a few jokes along the evening.

At 6, Circle Modern Dance Company performed an 8 minute dance piece with live electric guitar and a dancer in the aerial silk, dancing several feet off the ground.

As the evening progressed, larger crowds of people would squeeze into the studio and even spill out onto the sidewalk to peer in the store front windows at 6 more unique performances every 15 minutes.

Even though it was the Friday of July 4th weekend, URBhana had a large and consistent crowd and received positive comments on the space and it’s mission.  I, Angela Howard, was able to mingle with guests and talk about life coaching (my core activity) and it’s benefits.

Come visit us again on August 7th for another Frist Friday Event, featuring a new upcoming band and sculpture by Scott Palmer, former art professor at Carson Newman College.  Scott, the bartender, will also be our consistent refreshment “guru.”

U.S. food supply inconsistent with dietary guidance

The U.S. food supply is far out of balance with dietary recommendations. A new study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics quantifies the gaps. In brief, the U.S. food supply was quite unhealthy already by the 1970s and has not improved noticeably since then.

The authors -- Paige Miller, Jill Reedy, Sharon Kirkpatrick, and Susan Krebs-Smith -- use a measure more commonly applied to individual survey data, called the Healthy Eating Index. Getting this measure to fit national food supply data from USDA requires a bit of shoe-horning, but nonetheless the results are persuasive about the basic picture. As the video below illustrates, for example, Americans have for decades had all the protein we could possibly need, but the food supply for vegetables falls much short of recommendations.

The video -- from the National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research (NCCOR) -- generally thinks of the food supply as "upstream" and food consumers as "downstream." A possible implication is that policies should alter the food supply so that downstream consumers could eat more healthfully. It should be noted that people in the food business, and perhaps most agricultural economists too, give greater weight to consumer preferences for unhealthy food as a key driver of the gap the study describes. Economists may suggest that the food supply would provide plenty of healthy food if that's what consumers actually would buy.

Still, nutrition scientists and agricultural economists have in recent years been doing better than ever at listening to each other's perspectives on these big questions. For example, in an accompanying article, which calls on dietitians to get involved in designing federal policies such as the Farm Bill, Claire Zizza reviews agricultural economics perspectives as well as public health perspectives on how such policies should be evaluated. It all makes a lively conversation.

What a fascinating way to examine the American food environment. I wonder if part of the reason for the discrepancy between food supply and guidelines would be the perishable nature of fresh produce, as this may limit its availability to curb waste. Perhaps the less nutritious foods are found in greater abundance because they can remain on shelves for a longer time prior to purchase. It would be interesting to somehow examine the turnover of food at grocery stores to see if food purchases, rather than just food supply, show a similar discord with dietary guidelines. Then again, studies applying HEI scores to dietary intake definitely support the over-consumption of minimally nutritious foods.
