We are planning a trip over thanksgiving and I'm looking at making reservations in Estes Park for a few days (the rest of my trip will be in CS an DEN looking at living there).
I was looking at some cabins called the Evergreens on Fall River- off Fish Hatchery road. Anyone have an opinion? Or a better option? I'm getting a 2bed room duplex cabin for $155/night. I'm so scared to make a reservation anywhere because I don't want to get all the way there and spent that much money on a dump!
Can't recall that place in particular, but there are lots of nice cabins that abut the river, never seen inside. Check out AAA and see what they list it as? Sounds like a nice trip! Hard thing about cabins in a "hunting" town, is that often they are not taking great care of cuz' the "men" have masked/musked themselves. What kind of "sport" is that...???
By and by, $155/night is probably about right and will give you basic, clean accomadations.
Yes, that place is perfectly fine. My brother stayed there and really liked it. (He lives in Denver). Clean, quiet and they loved the river/stream. Nothing in Estes is 5 Star - but it is quaint and nice and has anything you will need. It is just different than staying in a Hotel in the City. It's a great place to go from the city and feel like you spent a weekend in the mountains. I think you would like it. Good luck on your trip and move.

Royal Canadian Mint Opens Public Vote for Popular Choice Award in MintChip Developer Challenge
posted in Contests, Digital Products, Government, National News By: Tami | Print This Post
The Royal Canadian Mint is pleased to invite members of the public to cast their votes for the Popular Choice Award as part of the judging of submissions received by the MintChip™ Developer Challenge. The judging period and public voting, which opened today, continues until September 12, with winners to be announced on September 24 and more than $50,000 worth of prizes to be awarded later in the fall.
"The Mint is extremely pleased with the enthusiasm and creativity shown by the developer community for the MintChip™ Challenge," said Ian E. Bennett, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint. "All 500 of the developer kits were distributed within the first four days of the Challenge and we have now received many interesting and innovative ideas for possible uses of the MintChip™ digital currency technology."
The MintChip™ digital currency employs innovative technology, for which the Mint has prototypes and eight patents pending in all major world markets, and could be the digital equivalent of the coins Canadians use every day to carry out financial transactions with retailers and with each other. It uses a secure chip to hold electronic value and a secure protocol to transfer electronic value from one chip to another.
The MintChip™ Developer Challenge began on April 4 when developers from across North America were invited to test the technology as part of the continuing research and development of MintChip™ and to determine its applicability to the current marketplace. The results of the Developer Challenge, which is being conducted on behalf of the Mint by ChallengePost, will form part of the Mint's ongoing evaluation of possible next steps in the development of the MintChip™ technology.
In addition to the Popular Choice Award, winners will be selected in five other categories:
Best Overall app
Best Person-to-Person app
Best Business-to-Consumer app
Best Micropayment app
Large Organization Recognition Award
The seven-member panel of judges tasked with choosing the winners:
Ian E. Bennett, President and CEO, The Royal Canadian Mint
Osama Bedier, Vice President of Payments, Google
David Birch, Director, Consult Hyperion
Bob Borchers, General Partner, Opus Capital
David Crow, Chief Marketing Officer, Maintenance Assistant Inc.
Jeff King, Senior Director X.commerce Platform Partnerships, eBay
Amanda Lang, Senior Business Correspondent for CBC News and Anchor of The Lang & O'Leary Exchange

Review: Chip Chrome & The Mono-Tones
The Neighbourhood's new album sounds good, but is devoid of meaning.
Photo Columbia Records
The cover art for "Chip Chrome and the Mono-Tones," depicting concept character Chip Chrome.
Amelia Foster, Print Managing Editor
L.A. alternative band The Neighbourhood first found success in 2013 with "Sweater Weather," but seven years later, their music hasn't evolved past the cool nothingness that created their first hit. Their most recent album Chip Chrome & The Mono-Tones is pleasant on the ears, but only if the listener isn't paying too much attention to the substance of the album.
The general atmosphere of the album is hard to describe. Its futuristic in exactly the way you'd imagine futuristic music to sound in the early 21st century. Electronic, smooth, a bit robotic. Like if you took every cheap sci-fi movie aesthetic and turned it into music. Once again, nice to listen to, but only if you tune out the lyrics.
Opening song "Chip Chrome" is a 29-second long instrumental, immediately establishing the mood of the album. It's electronic, building momentum as the song goes on. The tension immediately crashes at the start of the next song "Pretty Boy," a soft tune with cheesy lyrics. This album is the kind of music that'd play during a movie as the characters talk; enough to set a mood, not enough to actually want to listen to it.
As seen in the album title and opening track, the album is supposed to be set around character Chip Chrome, a metallic man partially inspired by David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust.
Good concept albums are supposed to tell you something about the character while providing some insight into the musician. I couldn't tell you anything about Chip Chrome outside of the fact that they're made of chrome.
"Lost in Translation" and "Hell or High Water" are the closest things to standouts on the album. "Lost in Translation" has a vibrant chorus and detailed production, starting out with the voice of a blues singer before shifting into a classic The Neighbourhood beat. "Hell or High Water" is futuristic folk, but the end result reminds me of the music they play in Spongebob Squarepants.
Other tracks on the album like "Cherry Flavored," "Silver Lining" and "Devil's Advocate" sound like nothing. There's no flavor, no spice. It was at times difficult to tell when one song ended and the other began, each blending into each other.
Don't go into Chip Chrome & The Mono-Tones expecting it to inspire deep emotions, if it inspires any emotions at all. This album is something I'd do my homework to, not something I'd use as a soundtrack for abstract thought.

Q: Why do I keep getting the following error : "Unable to resolve module @react-navigation-stack"? I am building a project in React Native with expo. I keep getting the same error: enter image description here
Here's my App.js:
import 'react-native-gesture-handler';
import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { createStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation-stack';
import Home from './src/components/Home.js';

const Stack = createStackNavigator();

function myStack() {
  return (
    <Stack.Navigator>
      <Stack.Sreen
      name="Home"
      component={Home}
      />
    </Stack.Navigator>
  );
}

export default function App() {
  return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      <myStack/>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}

And here's a little part of my package.json:
"dependencies": {
    "@react-navigation/core": "react-navigation/core",
    "@react-navigation/native": "react-navigation/native",
    "expo": "~42.0.1",
    "expo-status-bar": "~1.0.4",
    "react": "16.13.1",

    "react-native-web": "~0.13.12",
    "react-navigation": "^4.4.4",
    "react-navigation-stack": "^2.10.4"
},

Could you please help me understand why I keep getting this error even though I installed react-navigation-stack?

A: Please read the instructions for react-navigation v4.x, react-navigation-stack.
Remove the @ sign and you need to use it like this:
import { createStackNavigator } from 'react-navigation-stack';

And to Install please run the below cmd for expo:

expo install react-navigation-stack

Hope this works for you.

A: You typed the package name wrong. It's @react-navigation/stack, not @react-navigation-stack
See https://reactnavigation.org/docs/stack-navigator/ for installation and usage.

Formula 1 | 11th F1 team: How the naysayers' best argument backfired
by tsueyisiow.comPosted on January 5, 2023
Therefore, it is noted: the FIA has decided to launch a tender to attract the 11th (or even 12th) team in F1.
And with the new Andretti-Cadillac project announced today, a very serious – though impossible to refuse – rival has already presented itself.
Of course, the FIA will have to accept the Andretti-Cadillac candidacy – and Michael Andretti himself is very confident, as he was after the announcement of this solid partnership.
"Yes, we think so. After all, it's still an FIA series. »
"President [Mohammed Ben Sulayem] he made it clear that he wanted to have at least an 11th team on the grid. He is a "racer" and understands the importance of this to the show itself. »
"So, yes, we're very confident, especially with our great partnership with Cadillac, that we have a very, very, very good chance of ticking all the boxes and being on the grid soon. »
"I believe it 1000% [que nous allons entrer en F1]. I believe we have ticked all the boxes that need to be ticked to be able to enter F1. And I feel like we're definitely ahead of our competition in getting there. Yes, I am very, very sure that we will be online soon. »
The expected reaction from Mohammed Ben Sulayem and the FIA is therefore very positive.
The same overwhelmingly positive reception from the teams? is to do!
How will the current 10 teams welcome this news? There should be no doubt that most – but not all – of the current structures will not necessarily open champagne, except for facade reactions – especially the most modest teams.
Because for a long time the arguments of the teams (the most modest ones) against the entry of an 11th team into F1 (especially Andretti) have not been heard by the FIA: so why?
In fact, first of all, to block 11, it is necessary to remember what these "mass" arguments of the existing 10 structure are.
Faced with the Andretti rumors, mainly due to financial stability, most teams decided to take a negative, even offensive stance. It is clear that the teams are afraid of a decrease in revenue: the revenue pie to be distributed will be less massive, the teams will lose 10% (because the revenue will have to be distributed to the 11th team).
There is certainly an anti-dehydration fund (the newcomer has to pay $200 million to the FIA, which it splits equally among the teams): but $20 million at a time doesn't seem like enough to compensate for a 10% loss of revenue. in the long run… far from it.
The most obvious point was Alfa Romeo boss Frédéric Vasseur, who has perhaps one of the most fragile teams in the boardroom and is not yet at the budget ceiling in 2022.
"We don't need to welcome a new team, jeopardize two or three teams in the network" concluded the French last May.
This concern was still shared by Haas boss Günter Steiner. And this is for two perfectly understandable reasons: on the one hand, Haas, like Alfa Romeo, is still a fragile team, and after the departure of Uralkali, it came close to the worst; on the other hand, Haas fears the possibility of an American rival coming (Andretti is on rails).
"If an 11th team comes in and they make, say, 10% more, why not? But if the eleventh team comes in and takes an eleventh of the current revenue, do you reduce everyone else's revenue? Why would you do that? » He turned on Steiner. "I think F1 knows and Stefano knows that the sport is in a very good state at the moment. Does adding an eleventh team generate more revenue? Does it make Formula 1 bigger? »
A very rhetorical question in the mouth of Günter Steiner…
Financial stability risks evoke painful memories
The views of Frédéric Vasseur and Günter Steiner are certainly understandable… they carry with them the scars of the severe crisis that F1 went through in the 2010s.
The three structures that emerged in 2010, Caterham, HRT and Marussia, all disappeared in the 2000s (the last survivor was Manor-HRT). These previous examples serve as the first argument for Günter Steiner and Frédéric Vasseur: we should not attract new lame ducks by further weakening the finances of fragile teams.
That's why financial stability, budget strength of the project are the prerequisites that FIA set in the tender call to attract the 11th team.
Moreover, it is important to remember that in 2019 or 2020, Haas, Alfa Romeo, Williams are facing a big financial threat. For example, Williams avoided liquidation by being sold to Dorilton Capital. One can also mention the situation of Force India, which was saved from bankruptcy by only Lawrence Stroll's millions.
But these financial stability fears are no more today.
But arguments that were valid in 2019 or 2020 are not so valid today. This is the price of success for Haas, Alfa Romeo and Williams: F1's financial situation has improved and, as a result, F1 has less to fear the disappearance of its not-so-fragile structures. Especially after Dorilton Capital bought Williams and Sauber announced its merger with Audi.
Indeed, F1 benefits from the scissor effect that any entrepreneur dreams of. Incomes increase, expenses decrease. On the revenue side, the conquest of new markets, record attendance on the slopes in the US or youth and women (thanks Netflix!), the rights of rising promoters, all this goes directly to the pocket. FOM and teams. On the cost side, the appearance of constrained budgets allows for both cost reduction and predictability, making an incredibly strong argument for any investor.
So much so that, as Toto Wolff revealed last January, the once bottomless Formula 1 teams are now profitable: "For us, it's been since the 2021 season. The engine is an exception. More specifically, excluding engine development costs. »
As for the valuation of a Formula 1 team, even outside of the top teams, McLaren Racing CEO Zach Brown estimated it to be close to a billion. Let's listen to it: "Formula 1 teams can certainly be worth billions. There are many sports franchises – NFL, NHL, Premier League, NBA, etc., worth billions. Now that Liberty has come along and made the sport financially viable, financially sustainable, we've seen rapid growth in countries wanting to compete. McLaren will be a profitable racing team for the not too distant future. Before the budget cap, I don't think you could say that. »
And with an F1 team now worth a lot of money and the sport becoming profitable again, Sauber was reluctant to sell itself to Andretti – he no doubt needed an offer worth its weight in gold from Audi. hand
In short, the arguments made by the 10 F1 teams for years to refuse the arrival of the 11th team were legitimate in their time and indeed allowed to limit access to the work of the new structure.
These arguments were effective, but they are over: now the financial stability of the teams is guaranteed forever; so much so that the argument advanced by Fréderic Vasseur, Günther Steiner and others is now turned against them. This once legitimate opposition is now becoming anachronistic and irrelevant.
Moreover, the arrival of a prestigious manufacturer like Cadillac – with General Motors behind it – will certainly increase F1's US presence and thus circulation. This is how the income pie to be shared will grow! This is another argument for the 10 structures on the board…
This is ultimately the redemption of success for both F1 and midfield teams: because they are doing so well, the time of survival and closure ends to open the time of sharing and generosity!

The impact of direct and indirect feedback on the development of Spanish aspect

Classical & Modern Languages & Literatures
This study explores the impact of direct and indirect feedback on the improvement of Spanish past aspect (imperfect/preterit) in writing activities in a third-semester Spanish course. Ninety learners were divided into three groups: direct feedback, indirect feedback, and control (no feedback). Learners completed a pretest, a posttest, and a delayed posttest. Although it remains unclear which type of feedback is more effective, results indicate that both types improved preterit– imperfect performance. As the delayed posttest showed, however, learners exhibited more lasting improvement (as indicated by the delayed posttest) when working on the production Activity than on the terminology and selection activities.

Police in Massachusetts help 4-year-old boy celebrate Christmas after his mother was murdered
Police in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, helped make the holidays easier for a young boy dealing with tragedy.
According to the Fitchburg, Massachusetts Police Department, 4-year-old JJ lost his mother when she was murdered earlier this year. JJ now lives with his grandparents a few miles away.
To help keep his spirits up during his first Christmas without his mom, officers decided to throw him a party he'll never forget.
According to a Facebook post by the Fitchburg Police Department, JJ "loves anything to do with police." So on Sunday, a parade of squad cars drove down his street — some of which were packed with gifts, including a new bike.
More than a dozen officers — including the department's K-9 officer — showed up for JJ's Christmas party.

A decadent rock star. A deeply religious radio host. A disgraced scientist. And a teenage girl who may be the world's last hope. From the mind of Chuck Wendig comes "a magnum opus . . . a story about survival that's not just about you and me, but all of us, together" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
Shana wakes up one morning to discover her little sister in the grip of a strange malady. She appears to be sleepwalking. She cannot talk and cannot be woken up. And she is heading with inexorable determination to a destination that only she knows. But Shana and her sister are not alone. Soon they are joined by a flock of sleepwalkers from across America, on the same mysterious journey. And like Shana, there are other "shepherds" who follow the flock to protect their friends and family on the long dark road ahead.
For as the sleepwalking phenomenon awakens terror and violence in America, the real danger may not be the epidemic but the fear of it. With society collapsing all around them—and an ultraviolent militia threatening to exterminate them—the fate of the sleepwalkers depends on unraveling the mystery behind the epidemic. The terrifying secret will either tear the nation apart—or bring the survivors together to remake a shattered world.

"An inventive, fierce, uncompromising, stay-up-way-past-bedtime masterwork."—Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Cabin at the End of the World
"An American epic for these times."—Charles Soule, author of The Oracle Year

Full of SJW propaganda garbage. The president is female (shocker) with a Republican nominee with characteristics of our current president. None of it had any relevance on the main plot a it felt like both subtle and unsubtle forcings of a toxic ideology. You would probably like it if you're a NPC liberal.

Drawing on the history of SI's location at 38 St Marks Pl, originally built in 1954 as a bank, Mulleady has created a group of new, interrelated works that weave a speculative allegorical fiction. Centered on a monumental painting, Fight-or-Flight roots out fantasies, motivations and fears hidden in the building's walls in order to depict a mythological landscape of polarization and crisis. The physiological stress responses of the exhibition's title are enacted by a number of characters in Mulleady's paintings and woodcuts, who either adopt extreme or violent survival methods, or retreat into isolation.
The exhibition's central painting, A Fantasy of Transcendence and a Preoccupation with Downfall and Ruin (2019), features a giant figure in repose on a small island: a Colossus continuous with his environment. Water runs between his clawlike feet to create waterfalls that spill over the cliffs, while his long hair tumbles towards the mouth of a cave. Collapsing a number of time periods onto the canvas, the painting draws on 16th century sources preoccupied by fantasies of physical magnitude and lands of rest and relaxation free from labor, as seen in Pieter Bruegel The Elder's The Land of Cockaigne (1567) or in scenes of François Rabelais's epic satire, The Life of Gargantua and Pantagruel (c. 1532–1564). With its stylized landscape and lysergic sky, the painting pushes those narratives through a more recent painterly history of Post-impressionism and Expressionism, towards the posthuman futures suggested by a tablet with three-dimensional graphics and the figure's ravenously glowing eyes. Fenced in, stupefied, birdwatching, the giant is an emblem of the power, control and privacy afforded by the hoarding of resources.
The small gallery at the far end of the ground floor has been returned to its former status as a bank vault, whilst a large industrial pipeline implies an excavation of subterranean channels. Upstairs, woodcuts introduce a rat figure, embodying a desperate fight for life in diminished urban infrastructures. Four of them ride horses over a cityscape: vermin as contemporary harbingers of apocalypse. Ancient mythologies and recent histories are reanimated in the exhibition with an enduring, twisted force. And yet, opposed and extreme, the characters in Mulleady's feverish works also point to futures in which beings are pushed into marginal spaces, suggesting an ominous threat at civilization's center.

The Eerily Dark Willis Tower Tops This Week's Internet News Roundup
Spring, if you've been quarantined inside and haven't noticed, has sprung. The sun is out, the weather is warming up, and Michigan has lost two dams, flooding large areas of the state even as President Trump made vague threats about withholding funding to the state because of how it's offering absentee ballots. OK, that last bit doesn't have anything to do with the season—American politics continue apace year-round—but it's still worth mentioning. Elsewhere, you might be waiting a while for your tax return, Lana Del Rey wants to fight people who argue she's glamorizing abusive relationships, and NASA scientists might have discovered a parallel universe where time runs backwards (or maybe not). In other words, everything's under control, situation normal. But that's just the beginning. Here's everything else the internet was talking about last week.
President Trump Says He's Taking Hydroxychloroquine
What Happened: Just when you thought you'd heard the last of hydroxychloroquine, it comes roaring back—in a statement from President Trump declaring that he's been taking it despite the fact that it's not been proven to be effective as a treatment for Covid-19.
What Really Happened: Before this week, it had been awhile since the leader of the free world had really talked about hydroxychloroquine, the antimalarial drug that he'd called a "game changer" in terms of its impact on the coronavirus, even as the FDA warned against use of the untested medication for Covid-19 because of potentially life-threatening side effects. Indeed, some noted that President Trump had toned down his promotion of the drug as those side effects became more known. Also, President Trump had moved on to talking about injecting disinfectant, so it seemed as though hydroxychloroquine's moment had passed. Turns out, it had not.
Yes, on Monday, Trump announced that he was personally taking the drug, after multiple people in the White House, including Trump's personal valet, tested positive for Covid-19. This comes after studies about the drug suggested that, while its curative properties are yet to be proven, its dangers are far more obvious.
Hours after Trump's announcement, the White House attempted to catch up, via a letter from the president's physician backing up the claim.
Something worth noting, though—the letter doesn't necessarily say what some people think that it did.
So, what did President Trump's colleagues in government think?
Meanwhile, Fox News' Neil Cavuto noted, on air, "If you are in a risky population here, and you are taking this as a preventative treatment … it will kill you. I cannot stress enough. This will kill you." This prompted Trump to attack Cavuto. Meanwhile, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi had this to say.
While the comments certainly got the media's attention—and prompted a conversation about fat-shaming, as #PresidentPlump trended on social media in the aftermath—Trump didn't clap back.
The Takeaway: Rounding out the week, this happened on Friday.
Congratulations, Tiffany
What Happened: Sometimes, what seems like a lot of people congratulating someone for graduating from law school is actually something very different indeed. But then, not every graduate is Tiffany Trump.

Caleb Ricca's Ricca's three-run, two-out home run in the eighth inning gives Demons, 6-4 win.
CONWAY, Ark. – Caleb Ricca proved in his freshman season he has a flair for the dramatic.
It showed up again Saturday afternoon right when Northwestern State needed it most.
Ricca's three-run, two-out home run in the eighth inning gave the Demons a late lead, and Jose Vasquez made it stand up as Northwestern State avoided a three-game sweep with a 6-4 Southland Conference victory at Central Arkansas.
"Like I told them out there, I've been on plenty of teams that, after getting beat in the first two games of a series – which we hadn't done before – that have pouted their way through batting practice," second-year head coach Bobby Barbier said. "Then, when you get behind, you don't have the will to come back. This team didn't do that.
The Demons (14-13, 4-5) snapped a three-game conference losing streak thanks to a pair of clutch at-bats in the eighth inning.
With two outs, Central Arkansas (17-11, 9-3) turned to left-hander Will Brand (1-5) to face left-handed hitting Kwan Adkins. Barbier countered by bringing in redshirt freshman Peyton Davis, who had five at-bats in the first 26 games of the season.
Davis answered the call with a pinch-hit single, driving Brand from the game after two pitches and bringing in Mark Moyer, who saved Friday's UCA win with a pair of scoreless innings.
After taking a ball, Ricca turned on a 1-0 offering from Moyer and drove it over the left-center field wall for his first home run of the season and third of his career. All three of Ricca's home runs have put the Demons ahead, including a walk-off grand slam against Incarnate Word on May 6, 2017.
Vasquez' relief outing backed up a solid first start of the season for Danny Hlad, who allowed three runs in 5 1-3 innings, settling in after a tough first inning.
Thanks to Vasquez keeping it a one-run game, the eighth-inning rally, which began with a one-out J.P. Lagreco single, was possible.
David Fry's RBI single in the ninth inning gave the Demons some insurance, which came in handy as Josh Somdecerff homered with one out in the ninth before the Bears brought the tying run to the plate with two outs.
Vasquez got Colby LeBlan to fly out to center field to help the Demons avoid their first sweep of the season.
Fry, Lagreco and Adkins all had two-hit games to spark NSU's 11-hit attack. Fry became the Demons' all-time leader in career doubles with a leadoff two-bagger in the third inning.
Northwestern State returns to action at 6:30 p.m. Friday when it hosts Stephen F. Austin in the opener of a three-game Southland Conference series at Brown-Stroud Field.
W – Jose Vasquez (4-0). L – Will Brand (1-5). 2B – NSU, David Fry. UCA, Keaton Presley; Colby LeBlanc. HR – NSU, Caleb Ricca (1). UCA, Josh Somdecerff (5). Highlights: NSU, Fry 2-3, 2B, RBI; J.P. Lagreco 2-4, RBI; Kwan Adkins 2-3, RBI; Ricca HR, 3 RBIs. UCA, Somdecerff 2-5, HR, RBI; Presley 2-4, 2B, RBI; LeBlanc 2-5, 2B, RBI.
Records: Northwestern State 14-13, 4-5; Central Arkansas 17-11, 9-3.

Le low whistle, ou concert whistle (whistle de concert), est une variante du traditionnel tin whistle, aussi appelé penny whistle, qui se distingue de ce dernier par un registre plus bas et une taille plus grande. Il est très étroitement associé aux musiciens ou groupes irlandais modernes, comme Riverdance ou Davy Spillane, et de plus en plus reconnu comme un instrument caractéristique de la musique traditionnelle irlandaise. En raison de sa sonorité, le low whistle est le plus souvent utilisé pour interpréter des mélodies lentes ou mélancoliques.

Le low whistle de référence est l'instrument en ré, une octave en dessous du traditionnel tin whistle en ré. Un whistle est habituellement appelé low whistle si sa note la plus basse est le sol au-dessus du do intermédiaire, ou toute note en dessous de ce sol. Les whistles qui sonnent au-dessus de ce sol sont appelés soprano ou high whistles. Le low whistle utilise les mêmes principes et les mêmes doigtés que le penny whistle traditionnel ; il appartient à la même famille d'instruments à vent, dans la catégorie des flûtes à bec.

Bien que la sonorité de l'instrument présente des nuances d'un luthier à l'autre, les low whistles se caractérisent par un son plus aérien, et plus proche de celui de la flûte à bec classique que le son du tin whistle.

Histoire
Bien que l'origine du low whistle fasse toujours l'objet de débats, on sait que différents types de flûtes à bec ont existé dans l'Antiquité. Les flûtes à bec existant au  sont les ancêtres du low whistle, par l'intermédiaire des flûtes traversières originelles à six trous à forme conique. Ils étaient à l'origine en bois, mais le  vit la progression de l'usage de métaux comme le laiton et le nickel. L'alliage était le plus souvent roulé et soudé, et des développements successifs permirent l'apparition de glissières pour ajuster l'accordage. Ces flûtes métalliques verticales ont été trouvées en Irlande, en Grande-Bretagne, au Canada et aux États-Unis.

Le low whistle moderne
On attribue au luthier anglais et musicien de jazz Bernard Overton la production du premier low whistle de l'ère moderne à la fin de 1971, instrument qu'il dessina pour Finbar Furey, après que la flûte indienne préférée de ce dernier fut détruite lors d'une tournée. Incapable de la réparer, Overton essaya d'en fabriquer une réplique en métal. L'instrument qui en résulta était peu ou prou un tin whistle de grande taille, un tuyau de cuivre avec une embouchure en bois. Peu satisfait du résultat, Overton recommença en n'utilisant plus que de l'aluminium, obtenant un instrument en la qui impressionna Finbar, au point que celui-ci en commanda un exemplaire en sol pour son spectacle Lonesome Boatman. Puis, d'après Overton :

Bien que très rapidement, plusieurs luthiers réputés furent capables de produire des low whistles, c'est généralement la tournée Riverdance des années 1990 qui est créditée pour avoir donné au low whistle le coup d'envoi commercial et initié sa reconnaissance en dehors des cercles de musique traditionnelle. Il faut retenir l'importance de Davy Spillane, dont le travail dans le domaine de la fusion des instruments traditionnels, tels que le low whistle, avec le jazz ou le RnB contemporain, compte pour beaucoup dans la visibilité actuelle de l'instrument.

La musique irlandaise traditionnelle
À la différence avec le tin whistle, le low whistle est un relativement nouveau venu dans la musique irlandaise traditionnelle, et il s'attire quelques critiques de ceux qui considèrent qu'il essaie de remplir un espace déjà bien occupé par le tin whistle et l'Irish flute. Pour d'autres, c'est un instrument de transition pour des musiciens à la recherche de flûtes plus prestigieuses (et plus onéreuses) ou qui cherchent à approcher les uilleann pipes. Bien qu'il soit exact que l'apprentissage du low whistle facilite l'apprentissage de ces instruments, « quelques-uns parmi les plus grands interprètes de musique traditionnelle ont été associés au low whistle » et ont aidé à renforcer sa réputation d'instrument à part entière, hautement polyvalent et respecté, au son unique et évocateur. Comme le bouzouki irlandais, à dos plat, le low whistle doit être considéré comme le produit d'une période durant laquelle la recherche instrumentale était chose commune en musique traditionnelle, à un moment où les musiciens étaient en quête de moyens divers et innovants d'expression.

Apprentissage

La technique de jeu sur l'instrument est très semblable à celle du tin whistle. Les musiciens doivent adapter le positionnement de leurs mains dû à l'écartement et l'ouverture des trous. L'instrument réclamant beaucoup plus d'air que le tin whistle, les techniques de respiration de la flûte traversière irlandaise s'avèrent souvent utiles. Les techniques d'ornementation utilisées sur la cornemuse irlandaise s'adaptent et s'entendent beaucoup mieux sur le low whistle que sur les tin whistle.

Depuis 2001, il existe une méthode dédiée uniquement au low whistle intitulée The Low Whistle book et écrite par Steafan Hannigan et David Ledsam.

Musiciens célèbres
Si Finbar Furey fut le premier à faire découvrir cet instrument auprès du public dès 1968 sur l'album Lonesome Boatman, des flûtistes et des uillean-pipers le popularisèrent auprès du grand public. Davy Spillane l'utilisa dans le groupe Moving Hearts puis sur ses albums solos dès les années 1980 et 90. D'autres musiciens sont depuis réputés pour avoir donné les lettres de noblesse à cet instrument tels que Paddy Keenan sur l'album Poirt An Phíobaire (1983), James McNally (Afro Celt Sound System) avec son album Everybreath, Cormac Breatnach (Deiseal) pour ses variations jazzistique sur l'instrument, Brian Finnegan (Flook), Peter Morrison (Peatbog Faeries), Kevin Crawford (Lunasa) Ross Ainsley (Salsa Celtica, Treacherous Orchestrat), Fred Morisson, Ali Hutton( Old Bling Dogs/Treacherous Orchestra), Fraser Fifield, Martyn Bennet, Joanne McIver, Michael McGoldrick (Capercaillie/McGoldrick) ou encore les soner breton Ronan Le Bars (L'Héritage des Celtes/The Celtic Social Club), Erwan Menguy et Sylvain Barou.

Facteurs
Aujourd'hui, on trouve divers low whistles, tantôt en bois, tantôt en aluminium ou encore en plastique. Mais il n'est pas rare de trouver des mélanges de ces trois matières avec un bec en plastique ou en bois et un corps en aluminum par exemple.
