I gotta admit - I'm a massive movie buff. For me there's nothing better than sitting down with some snacks and watching a flick. Lately I've gotten a number of questions from readers wondering where they can go to download movies online, so I decided to put together a quick article answering this question.
There's a lot of people who now download all the movies they watch. The web has made it easy to download movies so you don't need to go out to the store to pick up the newest movie.
The selection of movies online is incredible. You can pick from far more movies on the net than you ever could in a video store. Whether it's a golden oldie or a new release, most likely you can grab it online.
There are many advantages to this process. The first one is that shopping online for these tends to be cheaper. You can get great deals from certain sites online that many times are more competitive than what you will get at a local store.
You can find models that are not in your local area. You might want a special type of guitar that you can’t find anywhere else but online.
You can also find quality used guitars online as well. This is where many people end up selling their old gear.
One of the most exciting facets of Wes Montgomery's guitar style was his jazz chord playing! He had a natural gift for chord melody solos and was able to seamlessly integrate improvised block chording into his solo work - as in "Cariba", "Sundown", "Missile Blues" and countless others.
His harmonic conception was "piano thinking" applied to the guitar and at the time seemed impossible - especially when considering the ease and smoothness with which he performed his chord passages even at break neck speeds! Wes just heard it that way and again, redefined the rules.
Wes was equally adept at harmonizing and playing a melody (the head of a tune) with his block chord approach, frequently adding uncommon and downright peculiar voicings to the harmonic framework of the song!
Cases in point are the striking performances heard in the standard "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face" and his original composition "Mi Cosa". He played his chord phrases with a thumb strumming attack similar in articulation to his octave playing.
Wes Montgomery was a master of melodic invention - having the facility, emotional content, taste, and originality to turn any piece into an engaging musical experience. As an improviser Wes was concerned with motif development, though in a natural and instinctive way.
He was the consummate story teller - leading an enthralled audience in chorus after chorus of inspired playing - revealing a motif here, developing it later, introducing a blues move, and then seasoning it with bebop modernism and chromatic tension.
Your wedding day will likely be shared with friends and family members who mean the world to you. A great way to thank them for participating in your wedding and supporting your relationship is to give them a thank you gift. Participating in a wedding, especially if you are more than just a guest, is a big commitment. Honor the time, money, and love they have given toward the wedding with something special.
There are plenty of options when it comes to attendant's gifts, but if you really want something special, your choices are a bit more limited. If you believe your bridesmaids would enjoy a gift with a conscience, consider giving them sustainable products like handmade bags.Handcrafted gifts often have value beyond what you pay for them in dollars. Each of your favorite girls can have an item that is unique and special that also has done some good in the world.
Another option is to help them care for themselves. Giving spa gift certificates gives them an opportunity to pamper their bodies before or after the wedding. As a bride, you are feeling a great deal of stress, but your loved ones are probably experiencing a little bit as well. They are watching you change and experiencing the excitement and anxiety with you. If they can get away for a few hours and enjoy a massage or facial, it will help them be more supportive of you. It also shows them you care about them and believe they deserve to be taken care of and pampered for their efforts.
There are many traits to good keynote speakers. Some of those traits are more important than other skills. If you have ever listened to a keynote speaker live, you will have noticed even if they are all very different, they generally posses the same core qualities. When thinking about it, only a brave person has the guts to address a crowd. It doesn't matter how large that crowd is.
Confidence has to be the the most important weapon in a keynote speakers arsenal. Without confidence the keynote speaker will not be able to do the job. Would you not think it odd a speaker shaking with fear while they address you? Someone that looks great is someone you take notice of. A confident speaker will inspire their audience and add credibility.
It might seem obvious to point out, but knowledge of the subject area is important. If you dont know your stuff, you are very likely to be caught out. Confidence and knowledge go hand in hand. Also, it if any questions are asked at the end, the speaker knows they arent likely to be shown up! People listent to experts, and those that can offer them knowledge. Knowledge is power!
A speaker that can entertain is always going to perform better. No audience likes to sit in boredom. You don't need to be a comedian, but a bit of humour does help. The subject the speaker is talking about is irrelevant. A speaker than can create laughter is going to give their message. An entertained audience is going to remember the message behind the speech, and may even tell their friends and colleagues.
Music, as tool of healing was recognized in the writings of Pythagoras, Aristotle and Plato. They believed that it can influence physical, emotional, cognitive and social well-being and improve quality of life. The benefit of listening music are:
Reduces Stress:In a study conducted, subjects were made listen to a half-hour of soothing music twice daily for two weeks. It showed significantly greater reductions in stress and anxiety levels in the subjects.
Increase optimism:Music can also be used to bring a more positive state of mind, helping to keep depression at bay. Good music also makes one to remember happy moments or good days. It also increases self-esteem and self-confidence.
Stimulate brains cells: Research has shown that music with a strong beat can stimulate brainwaves to resonate in sync with the beat, with faster beats bringing sharper concentration and more alert thinking. On the other hand, listening to soothing classical music improves ability to focus for longer time and promotes a calm, meditative state. It brings about a sense of well-being and creativity, a change which lasts long after the music has ceased to play.
Boosts exercise performance: Listening to music while you exercise may have a considerable impact on your exercise performance and commitment. According to a study conducted in 2005, listening to music while exercising boosted participants' weight loss and helped exercisers stay consistent.
Promote a sound sleep: Listening to music as we drift off to sleep ensures that we get the rest that we need from our sleep. Sleep puts your body in a healthy condition as it takes away the effects of stress, depression and anxiety from a person.
Helps socialize: Music is a great way to get together with people who share a similar passion. It helps you to meet new people, socialize and give you a sense of belonging.
Helps in spiritual health: Chanting or some kind of music helps people worship in a meaningful way, and makes them feel closer to God.
Pain Killer: According to a study published in the Journal of Advanced Nursing, listening to music daily can reduce chronic pain by up to 21 percent. The study also found that listening to music made people feel more in control of their pain, reduced depression, and made people feel less disabled by their condition.
Cardiovascular benefits: Listening to soothing music also helps reduce your heart rate and blood pressure. As a result of a lower blood pressure, it also reduces the risk of stroke and other health problems over time. Good music helps to calm down the cells and tissues that make up the lungs thereby bringing down the patient's breathing and heart rate to normal.
Helps in Cancer: Research suggests that music may offer a number of benefits for people coping with cancer. It reduces anxiety in patients receiving radiation therapy, as well as eases nausea and vomiting resulting from high-dose chemotherapy.
