While military statistics show that more than 115,000 soldiers have suffered mild traumatic brain injuries, unpublished research suggests that such injuries have gone undiagnosed in tens of thousands of troops. Even when the injuries are diagnosed, at one of the largest U.S. Army bases, soldiers have had to fight to get the appropriate care.
Brain specialists say Army's training may make soldiers more vulnerable to head injuries on the battlefield.
Five soldiers injured in the same 2009 bomb blast are a case study in a new epidemic among America's troops, who are grappling with a combination of concussion and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Handheld devices and blood tests that could give medical personnel quick, reliable ways to test for concussions in the field are advancing, but remain a few years away.
Defense Department leaders and lawmakers have taken steps to improve the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic brain injuries since ProPublica and NPR began a two-year investigation, but progress remains incremental.
Sen. Claire McCaskill has requested a briefing from the military on its troubled neurological testing program.
Faced with a congressional mandate to use computerized testing to detect brain injuries, the military chose an unproven test and then botched its implementation.
The Pentagon's Defense Centers of Excellence are plagued by management weakness and obscure finances, according to recent Government Accountability Office reports.
Pressure increases on the military to improve mental health care as new data shows that 51 percent of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are treated by the VA for psychological problems, up from 20 percent in 2004.
Only about 1 in 5 soldiers and Marines say they have been tested to determine if they have suffered brain injuries. Military officials hope the numbers will improve now that a new policy is in place.
A military memorandum says that new requirements for diagnosing and treating brain injury has resulted in a shortage of Army neurologists on battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Army's move comes in response to an investigation published last September by ProPublica and NPR that revealed some soldiers had been wrongly denied the medal despite regulations that made them eligible for it.
Tricare provided ProPublica and NPR with some, but not all, of the reviews criticizing a Tricare study finding that cognitive rehabilitation therapy has not been proven effective.
The National Institutes of Medicine convened the first of what's expected to be a series of public panels to help determine whether cognitive rehabilitation therapy could help heal troops who suffered traumatic brain injuries in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Citing an investigation by ProPublica and NPR, 74 members of Congress have signed a letter demanding that Tricare, the Pentagon's health plan, provide treatment for troops with traumatic brain injuries.
Sen. Claire McCaskill's committee wants to examine a contract between Tricare, the Pentagon's health plan, and ECRI Institute, which found insufficient evidence to support cognitive rehabilitation therapy.
The Pentagon told Congress last month that it was studying the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation therapy for brain-injured soldiers, the same treatment the Pentagon's health plan refuses to cover.

Q: Can we specify no of cycles in sequences in oracle? I started to create a sequence in Oracle. While going through the oracle documentation I got this prototype
Create Sequence SeqTest5
Start With 0
Increment by 1
Min value 0
Maxvalue 8
NoCycle    --I got to know we can give this as 'Cycle' which will again
           -- Repeat the loop. But my doubt is why cannot we specify  number of
           -- Loops. Such as Cycle 20
NoCache    --I got to know we can give certain buffer lenght via cache

Can you Please explain me why cannot we declare it as I have tried it and got this error
1  create sequence seqtest4
2  cache 30,
3* cycle 20,
SQL> /
cache 30,
    *
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended

For Example:-
TNUM
     0
     1
     4
     2
     3
     5
     6
     7
     8

This 0-8 should write 10 times and stop.

A: You can't specify the number of cycles; just whether or not you want to cycle. The CREATE SEQUENCE syntax is here.
There are a few problems with your CREATE SEQUENCE above:

*

*The commas - they don't belong; just get rid of them.

*Specifying CYCLE 20 - you can specify CYCLE or NOCYCLE only. The default is NOCYCLE.

*If you specify CYCLE you must also specify a MAXVALUE.

Addendum: Question updated with actual requirement, which is to count 1-8 ten times. Here's how to do it without sequences; it's based on an often-used Oracle trick for generating number sequences:
SELECT LEVEL FROM DUAL CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 8

The statement above will output the numbers 1 through 8, in order. To repeat it ten times you need to do another "1 through 10" counter, then cross join it to the "1 through 8", then make sure it orders correctly. This complicates thing a bit, which can be seen in the final answer:
SELECT SeqCounter FROM (
  SELECT SeqCounter, CycleCounter FROM (
    SELECT LEVEL AS SeqCounter FROM DUAL CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 8)
  CROSS JOIN (
    SELECT LEVEL AS CycleCounter FROM DUAL CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 10)
) ORDER BY CycleCounter, SeqCounter

The statement above will give the output requested in the question.

A: Wouldn't this be best handled with a modulo function?
CREATE SEQUENCE seqtest5 START WITH 0 INCREMENT BY 1 MINVALUE 0 MAXVALUE 80 NOCYCLE;

SELECT mod(seqtest5.nextval, 9) from dual;

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...

ORA-08004: sequence SEQTEST5.NEXTVAL exceeds MAXVALUE and cannot be instantiated

In today's www.world, someone who doesn't have a website is basically a nobody. Big or small businesses, freelancers, job seekers, or anyone who wants a place under the sun needs to be "googleable" (or "baiduable") these days. Even the shifu next door has his own website! So we think if shifus can do it, so can you.
Katie is going to share with you her coding skills during this intro workshop. You will learn about the fundamentals of HTML and CSS and code a basic portfolio landing page that looks like the photos below (there is of course room for customization!). We will spend most of the workshop live coding.
You will walk away not only with a basic framework of a portfolio site, but also basic coding skills that will come in handy even if you decide to go for a ready-made template (like wordpress, wix, etc).
No previous coding knowledge is needed, but you do need to be familiar with how to use a computer (in other words, Windows or iOS don't scare you and you understand basic commands like Ctrl C+Ctrl V).
Katie Chen is a Chinese Interactive Media Arts major with a focus on combining coding and design at New York University Shanghai. Katie has been coding intensively for about a year and half now and she can write in HTML, CSS and processing (p5 js) as well - a graphic programming language that's gotten popular over the past couple of years. Among the many things she has done, she has developed a drumming game (graphics in processing, Arduino and sensors for the physical reactions). Katie can create really cool animations just by typing commands. Aside from being a part of her formal education, coding is one of Katie's favorite hobbies.

Within only the last century, the introduction of organ transplantation has revolutionized medical practice and altered society's perception of what constitutes life and death. At the same time, the procedure has engendered controversy regarding both the ethics of the procedure and the problem of how to address a shortage in donor organs. This thesis focuses on primarily the later issue of scarcity in the context of the Egyptian organ transplantation system, which has been implicated by some as being unjust due to the influence of ambiguous Islamic teachings. In order to examine the veracity of this statement, the ideal of social justice will be examined in both the Islamic and Judeo-Christian faiths, with the hopes to identify whether Islam holds a unique view of social justice compared to that of Judeo-Christianity that predisposes it to such unjust conditions. The premise that this thesis shall take is that the aforementioned criticism is heedless and that faith cannot solely be blamed for situations that are instead complex and multifaceted.

Life as I Blow It : tales of love, life & sex-- not necessarily in that order (M)
by Sarah Colonna
"From her formative years in small-town Arkansas to a later career of dates, drinks, and questionable day jobs, comedian Colonna attempts to reconcile her responsible side with her fun-loving side. Sometimes this pans out, and sometimes she finds herself in Mexico handing out her phone number to anyone who calls her pretty. She moves to Los Angeles to pursue acting, but for years is forced to hone her bartending skills; she wants a serious boyfriend, but won't give up nights at the bar with her friends. She tries to behave like an adult, but can't seem to stop acting like a frat boy. In the end, she discovers that there doesn't have to be just one or the other. And if there's one thing Colonna has learned from her many missteps, it's that hindsight is always 100 proof." - Publisher
A Round-heeled Woman : my late-life adventures in sex and romance (M)
by Jane Juska
"Round-heeled" is an old-fashioned label for a woman who is promiscuous—someone who nowadays might be called "easy."

Jane Juska is a smart, energetic divorcée who decided she'd been celibate too long, and placed the following personal ad in her favorite newspaper, The New York Review of Books: Before I turn 67—next March—I would like to have a lot of sex with a man I like. If you want to talk first, Trollope works for me. " - Publisher

Wadjet: The Eye of an Egyptian God
Andrew Gray
Horus, the god of both the daytime sky and of war, is one of the most interesting and confusing of the Egyptian gods. Horus is often depicted as a falcon, or at times as a man with a falcon head–as were many other gods such as Har, Heru, or Hor.1 What is known about him is that he is the son of Osiris and an enemy of Set, the god of the night sky. Horus was, in ancient times, considered to be the perfect god for unifying Upper and Lower Egypt, even before the actual unification took place. This is due to the fact that he was considered the greatest of the gods in both parts of Egypt. The pharaoh was actually considered to be an embodiment of Horus.2
This myth formed the foundations of ancient Egyptian religious faith. This is because when the pharaoh died it was believed that he would become one with Osiris, the father of Horus, ensuring Egyptians eternal life after death. Egyptologist Rosalie David explains, "As the incarnation [flesh-and-blood form] of the god Horus, and the son of Ra and divine heir, only [the pharaoh] could act as mankind's agent in the presence of the gods. The Egyptians considered the rituals to be effective only if they were enacted by the king to whom the gods had given the rulership. Only he could attend to their needs and execute their orders."3
Also known as Wadjet, the Eye of Horus is commonly seen as a symbol of protection. The symbol appears in much of the jewelry in the ancient world as it brings about "the safety and health of the bearer and provide wisdom and prosperity."4 The actual eyes can still be seen today in that they were considered–literally–to be the sun and moon. When Horus was still young, Seth, his uncle and god of the night, tore out his eyes after murdering his father Osiris. This version of the myth is actually quite disturbing as it states that Seth tears out Horus' left eye, and through an odd set of events loses his man parts! Thoth magically restores the eye after being called upon by Horus' mother, giving it the name Wadjet, and it is for this reason that the waxing and waning of the moon occurs in cycles and the moon is torn away before its renewal every lunar month.5 On top of that, Thoth resurrected Osiris, granting him eternal life.
System parts of eye assigned fractional equivalents
In one of the many versions of the myth, the right eye of Horus (representative of the sun) was torn out by Set during battle. Djehuty restored most the eye except for a small piece. This missing part is where the myth of Horus-eye fractions stems from. In this system, parts of the eye were assigned fractional equivalents ranging from 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, to 1/64.6 When added, these fractions total 63/64, known in mathematical circles as a reciprocal 2n series and a complementary fraction. The Horus-eye of fractions was used for measuring grains and medicines.7
The Wedjat symbol was depicted in a variety of ways in ancient Egypt. Many Egyptians would wear it as an amulet fashioned from gold, silver, granite, hematite, porcelain, or wood.8 It was worn to bring strength, protection, safety, and good health. In a ritualistic sense, the amulet was made as offerings during the summer solstice when the sun was "the most powerful."9 In fact, the eye still represents a sign that is seen in today's modern medical vernacular: Rx.10 The Wedjat was printed on papyrus documents containing medical information. The symbol has continued to be used on medical record in Europe, but over time it was replaced by the symbol of Jupiter from Roman mythology, and as even more time passed was changed to the symbol we all know today as Rx.

CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® Applauds Gov. Brown on Signing SB 458 into Law
LOS ANGELES, CA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.) applauds Gov. Jerry Brown (top right photo) on signing SB 458 (Corbett) into law. SB 458 extends the protections of SB 931 (2010), to ensure that any lender that agrees to a short sale must accept the agreed upon short sale payment as payment in full of the outstanding balance of all loans.
Under previous law (SB 931 of 2010), a first mortgage holder could accept an agreed-upon short sale payment as full payment for the outstanding balance of the loan, but unfortunately, the rule did not apply to junior lien holders. SB 458 extends the protections of SB 931 to junior liens.
"The signing of this bill is a victory for California homeowners who have been forced to short sell their home only to find that the lender will pursue them after the short sale closes, and demand an additional payment to subsidize the difference," said C.A.R. President Beth L. Peerce (lower left photo).
"SB 458 brings closure and certainty to the short sale process and ensures that once a lender has agreed to accept a short sale payment on a property, all lienholders – those in first position and in junior positions – will consider the outstanding balance as paid in full and the homeowner will not be held responsible for any additional payments on the property."
SB 458 contains an urgency clause making it effective upon signing.
Leading the way…® in California real estate for more than 100 years, the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (www.car.org) is one of the largest state trade organizations in the United States, with nearly 160,000 members dedicated to the advancement of professionalism in real estate.

The loan is fixed at 5.5 percent for 10 years. The amortization term is 30 years and the LTV is 72 percent.

Self-Storage Investment Sales to Increase Through Year's End, Marcus & Millichap Predicts
WALNUT CREEK, CA—Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services Inc. reports self-storage investment activity will increase this year as banks sell off REO properties, drawing regional syndicates from the sidelines to target Class B/C assets throughout the Sun Belt.
California and Florida will register a sizable share of closings as maturing loans and soft operations push properties into foreclosure, especially with banks still hesitant to refinance devalued assets.
Financing for new buyers seeking properties below $5 million and with a stable operating history will emerge in the form of SBA loans, helping to accelerate activity.
At the top of the market, cash-heavy REITs and institutions are moving back into the self-storage arena, leveraging operating efficiencies to add value to recently purchased properties.
Class A assets in primary markets, including those in the Northeast, will garner the most attention. Such properties generally will trade for more than $10 million and at initial yields in the mid-7 percent to low-8 percent range, depending on location and age.

Picture playtime: what could live in this photo?
what do you see or imagine?
But when healing sets, what felt like an endless stinging void is now a hopeful chamber inside, a carved seat of cherubic protection.
Where are nooks of solace?
Surely they await around nearby corners, or even closer, …in hidden crannies of gentle space that relieve weariness and inspire unseen, intimate okayness.
His words kept ricocheting in that part of the brain that goes "hmmm, hmmmm" over and over when mentally chewing on a thought. The context of his remarks were intended for world leaders and voting delegates of the Methodist faith. But when he first posed these questions in his address, my head went straight to the precious & active relationships in my own life.
A good chunk of valuable relationships could be more real, and made so I think with my increased inner stamina. There have been a ton of times including in my marriage where a chance to be honest would be skimmed over or rebelled against completely.
…Not sure why except it seems to have something to do with all the raw, vulnerable feelings that owning the truth churns up.
My husband sometimes will justly say "Hey you're grumpy." And then I get my back up and defensive at his truth telling. Why the heck why? Is it a strange hidden ego trip floating around inside….that "lacks spiritual & emotional infrastructure" to hear truths on how I affect him?
If so, that looks like some juicy rebellion against self-acceptance right there….that ignoble affliction called 'holier-than-thou' ….which is a little sad, but fixable (fingers crossed).
Sometimes the truth in realness gashes self perception I guess! But when healing sets, what felt like a stinging void is now a hopeful chamber inside, a carved seat of cherubic protection that's more willing to let others in.
Years ago at a conference, our chummy DC contingent of friends strolled a town south by southwestern sun. Conversation bulged with laughter and rainbows of perspective.
An uninvited passerby neared our group, his kindness bricked far beneath. He then flared a one-word insult in sneer + racial hate.
"For real?!" …our slim response blended with surprise and then disregard.
Strolling began anew with collective mood well-cobbled in mirth and free spirits.
A monk community lived nearby and worshipped at a precious chapel. Visitors would gather for silent meditation retreats on campus. At prayer one morning, I thought the space was empty & all to myself. My eyes however hadn't adjusted to the tender light.
A few pews over knelt a man from 1980s history, LtCol Oliver North of Iran-Contra struggles. I recall feeling ashamed for wanting the small chapel to be fully mine.

Piena di odio per John, Judith sposa Tom Dandridge da cui ha una figlia, Shirley. Nel frattempo, John diventa un imprenditore di successo. Si sposa, ma la giovane moglie muore dando alla luce un figlio.

Passano gli anni. Il giovane John jr., ora a capo della Valiant, l'azienda fondata da suo padre, si fidanza con Katherine Fargo. Ma la ragazza rompe con lui in seguito a un dissesto finanziario. John, allora, decide di recarsi nel Sud, nelle proprietà del padre in Virginia. Incontra così Shirley, la figlia di Judith, di cui si innamora. Katherine, che vuol riconquistare l'ex fidanzato, racconta a Shirley della faida familiare che ora divide i Valiant dai Dandridge. Shirley comincia a comportarsi freddamente con il suo corteggiatore ma, quando Bristow, sul letto di morte, consegna finalmente a Judith la lettera dove John le spiegava che Edward si era sparato durante il duello, le cose vengono chiarite e i due giovani si riconciliano.

Q: jquery catching an autocomplete event I am getting mad at this...
unfortunately I am to manage a huge legacy app, running jquery 1.4.2 and jquery.ui 1.8...
Managers are not willing to invest into a migration yet - deplorable but understandable, so here I am. This may just generate one more convincing argument to do so...
So I have a text input and I assign the autocomplete.
I need to call a function after a valid option has been picked from the list.
I have tried countless combinations...
My latest code:
$('#id_city').autocomplete({source: cities, select: my_function});

my_function is defined further up as
function my_function() {

}

but with this one the autocomplete doesn't work at all.
cities is an array I build when initializing the page.
If I do
$('#id_city').autocomplete(cities)

the autocomplete works, but then I can't fire my_function
My closest win was to actually bind to the blur event for #id_city, but the problem with this is that when a user starts typing and then selects an event with the mouse, the blur event apparently fires too early, giving me the value BEFORE the user actually selected the option with the mouse...
I tried may other approaches:

*

*on("autocompletechange") as the docs for jquery.ui say, but apparently this can't work as jquery 1.4.2 doesn't support on()...

*$('#id_city').bind("autocompletechange", my_function); here nothing happens...

I also tried with autocompleteselect, no joy.
I scanned the web for many hours and couldn't find anything. Is there a solution to this? I'd be so grateful.

Morecambe to become first town in county to launch 'Ask for Angela' campaign
Morecambe has become the first town in the county to launch the 'Ask for Angela' campaign.
Gemma Sherlock
Morecambe will become the first town in Lancashire to launch the 'Ask for Angela' campaign.
'Ask for Angela' is an innovative campaign enabling those who feel vulnerable in pubs and clubs to discreetly approach staff and request assistance and is being rolled out across the country following successful pilots.
Morecambe BID, in conjunction with Lancashire Police and Morecambe Pubwatch, has produced posters and coasters to be distributed in local pubs and clubs.
The 'Ask for Angela' initiative aims to reduce sexual violence and vulnerability by providing customers with a non-descript phrase they can use to gain assistance from staff members in order to be separated from the company of someone with whom they feel unsafe due to that person's actions, words or behaviour.
The initiative - originally launched by Lincolnshire County Council - has already proved successful following a Metropolitan Police pilot in Merton borough.
By "asking for Angela", an individual is alerting staff that they require help.
They will be taken aside, or to a safer location, so they can speak in confidence to that staff member about what assistance they need.
Options available to staff include: offering to call a taxi for the individual; contacting their friends or family; or requesting that an individual causing the distress leaves the venue.
Hayley Child, Sexual Violence and Abuse Strategy Coordinator for Lincolnshire and creator of the 'Ask for Angela' scheme said: "The scheme has been extremely successful and feedback from the public and venues is that it is being used.
"I think it's great Morecambe venues are taking on the scheme and implementing a protective measure for users of their Night Time Economy."
They will be placed in the toilets of those establishments.

No matter how ubiquitous the letters 'GTI' become, they are synonymous for much of the population with only one car: the Volkswagen Golf GTI. This has less to do with their original placement and more to do with serious, unbroken longevity.
There has been a Volkswagen Golf GTI on sale for as long as any of the current Terminalsecurity road test team has been alive. Although other manufacturers have been dabbling in hot hatches for close to four decades, none comes close to imprinting a single model identity on the segment in the way that VW has done.
But while it may stand alone as a recognisable icon of the class that it pioneered, the Golf GTI has been acknowledged as its leader only sporadically. Instead, VW has sought to stretch its 'hot' brief as thinly as possible so that it might be pulled down over a car of incredibly broad appeal.
There are few model introductions as notable as the Golf GTI's debut at the 1975 Frankfurt motor show. In the UK, the car struck a chord, and what started as a trickle of left-hand-drive Mk1 cars in 1977 turned into a torrent by 1989, when the all-conquering Mk2 sold a remarkable 16,000 GTIs in one year.
The Mk3 and Mk4 were a comparative disappointment, but the Mk5 and copycat Mk6 marked a welcome return to better form, especially in runout Edition 30 and 35 formats.
In a bid to drag this new performance-orientated Golf towards the eyeline of those of us fixated on the Renault Mégane 265 and Ford Focus ST, a 2017 facelift of the Golf range saw Volkswagen give the GTI tools to compete in an ever expanding sector with the standard GTI's power increased to 228bhp, while the GTI Performance gets 242bhp - the same as the hottest Skoda currently on sale. The seventh generation Golf GTI was given special makeovers to mark the 40th anniversary with the GTI Clubsport Edition 40 and a limited run Clubsport S.
So is the new Volkswagen Golf GTI worthy of the top billing once again? Let's find out.

I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please. Not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk or snooze in the sunshine. I don't want enough of God to make me love a black man or pick beets with a migrant. I want ecstasy not tranformation. I want warmth of the womb, not a new birth. I want a pound of the Eternal in a paper sack. I would like $3 worth of God, please.
"Can that be called a sacrifice which is simply paid back as a small part of a great debt owing to our God, which we can never repay? Is that a sacrifice which brings its own blest reward in healthful activity, the consciousness of doing good, peace of mind, and a bright hope of a glorious destiny hereafter? Away with the word in such a view, and with such a thought! It is emphatically no sacrifice. Say rather it is a privilege." – David Livingston, in a last will and testament to college men commissioning them to Africa.
Pondering this, I pray that I would not consider the small areas that I suffer and am discomforted as a sacrifice, but a privilege. It is only my pride that would consider these things as sacrificial. For when we consider something as a sacrifice we focus on ourselves and what we are doing. Instead, when we give our lives as a sacrifice, our focus should be shifted to our Savior. For, what sacrifice could I ever make to compare with that of my Savior?
When I consider His greater sacrifice, I can only consider it a privilege to suffer with Him and for Him.

How rappers, singers & YouTubers choose royalty-free music?
WRITTEN BY : Paul Keane
There can be no little things in the world of music. Any musician, sound engineer, or one way or another connected with this industry person will prove to you that there are no unimportant moments in the process of music creation.
Every element of this process, from inspiration for the musician to final mixing and mastering, as well as marketing promotion of the product, has an equally strong impact on the final result. At the same time, paradoxically, no one can describe to you the formula for an ideal song or hit. Nobody ever knows whether a track or album will be a hit or not. This is decided exclusively by the public, and music creators can only try to maximize the likelihood of a positive outcome, but they can never provide guarantees.
However, everything is not always so complicated here. One of the very common situations in the modern music industry is creating a track using music from outside. Specifically - royalty-free music from online libraries like taketones.com. Tracks from such platforms can be used in various ways. Most often these are, of course, YouTube channels and marketing and video promotion materials of a different nature and purpose.
What happens if you use music without a permit? Please check our short video to find the answer.
However, musicians, singers, or rappers also often resort to using this kind of music when creating their musical works, and here you can expect a catch. Yes, they buy the music forgotten by the world, change it, make a completely new unrecognizable modern hit, and sell it, but note that if you bought the rights to such music, you can use it for your own commercial or non-commercial purposes, this will be indicated in the agreement. which will accompany this or that track, but you will not be able to resell this music to third parties. In this article, we want to tell you what motivates them to take these steps, and how they approach the process of choosing royalty-free music.
The rap segment in the music industry originally appeared at the dawn of the 80s due to the borrowing of any samples from the outside or from other musicians. It just so happened that in this genre, music has always played and will play a second role, while it is the text and lyrics that come to the fore. In view of this state of affairs, many rap artists often did not think about creating or writing unique music for their tracks at all.
Today, this state of affairs is also observed, although to a lesser extent than before. The use of ready-made samples and beats is an extremely common phenomenon that you will not surprise anyone in the rap segment. Many performers spend a lot of time picking such minuses for their compositions. We are talking about royalty-free music, of course.
New tracks, samples, or beats from hitherto unknown artists are very often stored on platforms with such music and can be purchased for little money. Often, having given enough time to this process, you can find real diamonds there, which, most importantly, no one has ever used or heard before. Thus, a completely unique product can be created.
In terms of how rappers choose such tracks, there are several main points. First of all, everything, of course, depends on what effect the artist wants to achieve from the listener. But more often than not, this is a uniform beat or sample that has a repeating shape and only changes to the chorus. This motive should be catchy so that it would remain in the mind of the listener and, in the future, evoke clear associations with this particular track and performer.
The situation with singers is generally similar to that of rappers. And although singers appeared in popular culture much earlier than rappers, back in the 20s and 30s of the twentieth century, this segment was also built largely on the reciprocity and processing of ready-made materials. For example, 99% of the people you surveyed will tell you that the song "My Way" is a genius creation of Frank Sinatra.
And although his performance and his version of this song are really brilliant, the authorship of this track belongs to the much less famous French singer Claude François, in whose performance it was called "Comme d'habitude". And although the essence of the lyrics of Sinatra's version is completely different from that of the French original, the size of the text, rhythm, and tempo remain the same, not to mention the music itself in the background.
In these days of multiculturalism and globalization, it is rarely possible to truly surprise the listener with something original, so singers still often resort to using and changing older or other artist's material. Sometimes, such material can be so old that there will no longer be people who can confirm its authenticity, and only the Internet or other documentary sources of information can help here.
Choosing royal-free tracks for their songs, singers pay great attention to what emotions the track evokes without words, trying to choose the music in such a way that it would be maximally comparable with their lyrics. Unlike rappers, singers understand that in their situation, music and lyrics are of equal importance and an incorrectly chosen track can completely ruin the impression of the song.
Unlike rappers, for whom music is only a background for the text, and singers, for whom music is an equal share of a song, YouTubers select royalен-free music for a specific purpose. This goal can also be an emotion or a background for the main text, but, most often, this purpose doesn't diverge from the goal of the video content itself, for which such music is actually selected.
It can be anything from the musical theme of the channel and musical inserts in the breaks, ending with a specific musical accompaniment for a single video. One way or another, YouTubers are guided by the goal they are pursuing. If this goal is to create a unique musical theme for the channel, which will accompany the listener during their stay there or when watching a video, then they need to choose truly unique tracks that will at the same time be catchy enough to evoke emotions from users.
If we are talking about a specific single video for YouTube, then everything here rests on the essence of the video itself. Whether it's a short news clip or a promotional video, you need to choose the track with equal care. In such a situation, the background track should successfully complement the video sequence and text, but at the same time not distract the user too much, since the main goal is to convey information.
Although the methods of selecting royalty-free tracks for their purposes differ for each of the above examples, one thing unites them all - you cannot treat this process carelessly. An unsuccessfully selected track will equally ruin both a rap song and an ordinary song or YouTube video that tries to convey some information to the user.

A 1.5Kw system generates around 2715 Kwh/year and save 30% of average electricity use or $750/year.
A 2Kw system generates around 3620 Kwh/year and will save 40% of average electricity use or $984/year

Austin Metblogs » More condos. But at least no Star Jones.
More condos. But at least no Star Jones.
A longtime zoning quirk has been leveled to make way for The View. No, not that "View." This View is a new … wait for it … condo project that will be sprouting along South Lamar in between the Barton's Lodge Apartments (3816) and the newly-converted Citibank office park (3508) just north of Ben White.
You may remember the lot as the site of a small limestone building perched on an improbably huge lot overlooking the Barton Creek Greenbelt. For several years, the site had been a gallery for artist Robert Ellis Patterson. With his untimely passing in 2004, the sign out front pitched real estate for a few years, then went blank. I had often dreamed of buying the land to raise llamas, maybe run a philosophy shop / lemonade stand out front, but those dreams went down with the bulldozers last week.
The project's name is indicative that the 69 units will have clear line-of-sight to the office and residential buildings built up to the opposite edge of the Greenbelt. Prices are quoted in the usual range from merely expensive ($260k / 760 sqft.) to broadly unaffordable ($850k / 2,280 sqft.). According to the Statesman, the condos will feature a meditation garden and cabanas to take advantage of the scenic location. No mention of llamas.
The View is also seeking one-ness with its location through the U.S. Building Council's LEED certification program. If realized, this would put Madison Partners on a different, and greener, path than many of their developer breathren. Other popular components currently lacking from this development are height (4 stories), variance requests (no up-zoning), or mixed-use entitlements (no street-level retail). And the name, despite its unfortunate association with daytime TV, is simple and descriptive rather than ostentatious and embarrassing. S. Lamar could do a lot worse.
We were wondering what was going in there when we drove by last Saturday on the way to Central Market. Thanks for filling us in.
Kudos to the developers for the planned rainwater collection system…especially on this lot overlooking the creek.
Those prices are way out of wack with the location. I find it hard to believe people will pay downtown prices to live next to a strip mall. $800k will get you about twice that much space much closer to downtown in Bouldin.
At the prices they quote, it's actually a much better deal than the crappy single-family housing stock in Bouldin. You get a view, you get stuff that's not going to fall apart (they didn't exactly build to last in the 1940s and 1950s, although it's still better than the truly slipshod 1980s stuff), and you get a location which is good for walkers and drivers.
Finally, a side-effect of condos we can all agree is negative: Deja view.
Sorry for the double post above.
M1EK, I'm surprised at you. You usually talk a bit more sense than that. I seem to recall that you are a Hyde Park resident and so may not be around Bouldin so much. Or South Lamar for that matter.
Take a look at that location on your way to Golden Corral sometime. There's nothing walkable or even bikeable about it.
As for Bouldin, check out MLS 5836444. For a mere $899k you can get a brand new, 4,300 sq ft McMansion. It's only about a mile from town lake hop on your bike and be on the trail in 5 minutes. Or take an easy walk to Polvo's or to Vespaio.
I'm not saying that condos are a bad thing. I'm a big pro-density guy. I just think that the cost of these are out of line with the location.
That just reinforces the "better value" comment. A brand new condo with amenities with a great view >>> a McMansion with jack squat.
