I’m driving myself mad because I can’t decide on a minor for my degree. I want to do one, especially if I end up not doing an Honours degree.

I. Cannot. Decide. Ahhhhh.

Edit: important info, I’m doing this for me, not for any future employability or job. I’m disabled and don’t plan to ever work for anyone except myself in the future.

I loved #studying in the #US, but I'm not sure the current regime would welcome me

rowmyboat@glammr.us - Soooo in the last couple days groups of international students at universities all across the country have had their visas cancelled. I’ve heard so far of Ohio State, UMass, Stanford, Arizona State, UCLA, Minnesota State. There are probably more.

Weekly #shopping has recently been given a fun twist: #BoycottUSA

Fortunately, it's easy in #France: goods from the region and the own country have always been specially labelled. And we now also cheekily turn US goods upside down.

A new study: 62% of French people support the #boycott of US products. Falling numbers also in #tourism, #working, #studying. The #study reveals an unprecedented collapse in the image of the US among French people.

I think some of you may find this interesting. I myself am beginning to study all of this, as I am fascinated by the singing methods and knowledge of the time. It is a bit difficult doing it being blind and unable to read music, but fortunately, there are ways around that. My perfect pitch and good memory for lyrics also helps. Still, if anyone would like to work with me on this i.e. study together or even give some advice, I would appreciate it.

Below, you will find various links related to theory, harmony and counterpoint, and a comparison of older and modern methods of teaching and singing. While this relates to choirs and opera, it also relates to the theatre, particularly operettas and such.

Studying Music: Part I

https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/205086.html

My one criterion was that the methods and books used had to be from the time of Ivor Novello, preferably from his youth (born 1893). If I were to start in the early nineteenth century, which is where most of my preferred non-musical educational material is from, I would miss extremely important developments in classical music. Starting at the birth of his mother, Clara Novello Davies, in 1861, would be fine. However, since her own book, which I am using as my main text and guide, was written in 1928, I went with that of her son. In the following sections, you will find the books I am using. One thing I have not included, though it was a huge influence in Ivor's own writing style, was theatrical music, such as that found in operettas and Edwardian musical comedies. That is such a large topic for discussion that I feel it deserves its own separate post, as does Ivor's music, since it's an interesting blend of all of the above. But this is well outside the scope of traditional musical study.

In the next entry (the below link), we will delve into vocal training and why the singers of Novello's time sound so wonderful.

Studying Music: Part II

https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/205505.html

Finally, since I mentioned the exercises, here they are, for anyone who wants to try them. Note that these are the Preliminaries and Breathlock Physicals, not the vocal exercises. But I have provided the link to her book as well, for those who may wish to go further.

What is disappearance? In short, it is a repressive tactic used by authoritarian states to terrorize the civilian population into submission.

While the term “the disappeared” emerges in the aftermath of authoritarianism in Guatemala (1966) and Operation Condor in South America (perhaps most famously General Pinochet and his reign of terror in Chilean, but also juntas across South America including in Argentina), it describes a tactic that has long been in use and continues to be used by authoritarian regimes across the world, so it’s a concept to be aware of and understand.

Disappearance is characterized by illegal abduction, secret detention centers, torture, death, and unofficial burial.


Disappearance was, in theory, a way to avoid responsibility. The state maintained plausible deniability while effectively terrorizing their citizens into submission. The message is clear, you could be next.

QOTD: Have you heard of disappearing?

Time to assemble my Bachelors Blanket now that I am ready to do my last exam for it. I am six months over the recommended time, but I am making it.

These represent 3,5 years of lectures, seminars and team meetings at work where my hands needed something to do.

This assembly is going to take some time too.

Thinking I'll put this over my yellow reading chair. So I can fittingly sit on it while doing my masters.

#INTRODUCTION:
Hi, I am a newbie #solopreneur
working on two ventures. I'm also currently on the hunt for a job opportunity for more experiences and growth. More: narada.ca/

I love #outdoors ( #walking #hiking #camping #backpacking #scubadiving #snowboarding), #driving, #traveling, and going to #EDM #raves.

But sometimes I can be a couch potato who stays at home #cooking , being a #plantdad , #studying , #creating , #watchingTV, or doing whatever my #ADHD + #deaf brain wants! 😅

I am also passionate in #equality #a11y #cdnpoli and #technology. Expect some skeets on those topics here. 😁

I Have Been #Studying #Poker for Years. #VicePresident #KamalaHarris Isn’t #Bluffing.

If, as is usually the case after a #party holds its #convention, Ms. Harris continues to rise in the polls after the convention, she may find herself in a new position: the perceived front-runner.

Seeing that kids today learn Physics in high school makes me feel so old and behind.

I didn’t even have the option to learn anything for science except introductory chemistry, earth science/geology, and biology.

I’m still nervous I won’t qualify to transfer over to the university when the time comes because my U.S. HS transcripts are not good enough + the credits I’m working towards now. *sigh*

I don't get how some people livestream themselves #studying... A few days ago I saw someone studying silently with another person watching them silently over Zoom. Like, if you want your friend to watch over you for concentration, then meet up physically and #study together (which I greatly enjoy, even if silent), but this just sounds a bit forced.

不懂为什么会有人直播自习……几天前看到有人安静自修时有另外一个人在Zoom上安静看着……话说，要是为了专注学习而想要有个人看着自己，那干脆就两个人坐一起（就算不聊天也很好啊），何必用这么极端的方式呢……

I got tired studying truck stuff. Am I getting a master's in trucking design or something? Uuggh

So, I started reading about #arborology and I got my daily #nerdgasm by reading about Socotra Island, a remote land in the #Yemen.

30% of the bio stuffs here don't grow anywhere else. And that stuff looks like an alien planet out of #Dune.

Have a look around and see what you think.
