Aquest article tracta sobre la història de Guinea. L'àrea ocupada avui per Guinea estava inclosa en diverses agrupacions polítiques de l'Àfrica Occidental, incloent-hi als imperis de  Ghana,  Mali i  Songhai, en diverses ocasions des del  fins al , quan la regió va entrar en contacte amb el comerç europeu. El període colonial comença amb la penetració militar francesa a l'àrea en la meitat del . La dominació francesa per la derrota del 1898 dels exèrcits de Samory Touré, Mansa (o emperador) de l'estat de Ouassoulou i líder d'origen Malinke, el qual va donar a França el control del que avui és Guinea i àrees adjacents.

Guinea colonial
França va negociar les actuals fronteres en els últims anys del  i primers del  XX amb els britànics per Sierra Leone, amb els portuguesos per la seva colònia de Guinea (ara Guinea Bissau) i Libèria. Sota els francesos, el país va formar el Territori de Guinea dins de l'Àfrica Occidental Francesa, administrada per un governador general resident a Dakar. Els tinents governadors administraven les colònies individuals, incloent-hi a Guinea.

Guinea postcolonial
Liderat per Ahmed Sékou Touré, cap del Partit Democràtic de Guinea (PDG), el qual va guanyar 56 dels 60 escons en les eleccions territorials de 1957, el poble de Guinea, en un plebiscit al setembre de 1958, va rebutjar aclaparadorament ser membre de la Comunitat Francesa. Els francesos es van retirar ràpidament, i el 2 d'octubre de 1958, Guinea es va proclamar república sobirana i independent, amb Sékou Touré com a president.

Sota Touré, Guinea va esdevenir una dictadura unipartidista, amb una tancada i socialitzada economia i sense tolerància pels drets humans, la lliure expressió, o l'oposició política, la qual va ser durament suprimida. Originalment conegut pel seu nacionalisme d'encreuament ètnic, Touré va començar a confiar gradualment en el seu grup ètnic Malinke per omplir posicions en el partit i el govern. Suposats complots i conspiracions contra ell a casa i a l'estranger, el règim de Touré tenia com a objectiu opositors reals i imaginats, empresonant a milers d'ells en presons gulag d'estil soviètic, on centenars van morir. La repressió del règim va conduir a més d'un milió de guineans a l'exili, i la paranoia de Touré va arruïnar les relacions amb nacions estrangeres, inclòs als seus veïns africans, augmentant l'aïllament de Guinea i posteriorment devastant la seva economia.

El 22 de novembre 350 opositors, mercenaris estrangers i soldats van desembarcar a Conakry, en l'anomenada Operació Mar Verd, amb la intenció d'enderrocar a Touré sent derrotats. Després d'això el règim va realitzar purgues contra líders opositors i militars presumptament involucrats en l'intent de cop d'Estat.

Sékou Touré va morir el 26 de març de 1984, i una junta militar encapçalada pel llavors tinent coronel Lansana Conté va prendre el poder el 3 d'abril. Els opositors a les seves dictadures eren segrestats, torturats i assassinats, generalment, al Camp de Boiro. Guinea no va tenir eleccions democràtiques fins al 1993, quan el general Lansana Conté (cap del  govern militar) va ser elegit president en una renyida votació. Les supressions de la seguretat continuen, encara que no tan severes com en les primeres dècades. Reelegit el 1998, el president es va enfrontar a la creixent crítica el 1999 pel seu empresonament d'un principal líder de l'oposició política i l'extens malestar econòmic. Les guerres civils a Sierra Leone i Libèria també van amenaçar l'estabilitat de Guinea política i econòmicament, portant a un conflicte menor en les zones frontereres amb aquests països, la Manifestació de les Forces Democràtiques de Guinea (Rally of Democratic Forces of Guinea, RDFG) entre els anys 2000 i 2001.

El 5 de setembre de 2021 es va produir un intent de cop d'estat contra el règim d'Alfa Condé.

New Content Creation Experience Coming to VIUBlogs!
You have likely seen the notice on your VIUBlogs Dashboard announcing " A new, modern publishing experience is coming soon." If you have not yet seen that message, or if you have yet to click the blue Try Gutenberg button to see the new editing interface in action, we strongly suggest doing so now.
The next major update for VIUBlogs may release as early as November 27, 2018 and will include a significant change to how you create and edit posts and pages. A new block editor will take the place of the classic (TinyMCE) editor as the default option for content creation.
What is a block editor?
At its core, the block editor (or Gutenberg editor) is a visual editing interface that allows you to design as you create. Where the current editor works well for text entry, adding media and controlling how text and media are placed on the page can be quite difficult. With a block editor, each piece of content (this could be an image, a heading, or text) is its own block which can be arranged, styled, and edited to give your blog post or page the layout and appearance you want. Adding media and controlling the layout of your pages and posts should be much simpler with this new interface.
In addition to improving your ability to control the look and feel of your posts, the new block editor introduces new options such as "cover images" which allow you to add a text overlay to an image right within WordPress! You can also add widget and plugin blocks to individual pages, increasing the flexibility of designing on your VIUBlog.
If you would like to see the new editor in action, you can try a preview here. This preview is a fully functional page where you can try out editing and rearranging blocks in real time without touching your own site. The page includes prompts to help you explore the new editing options as well as some links to additional resources.
To get started using the new block editor on your VIUBlog before WordPress 5.0 is officially rolled out, you can enable the Gutenberg editor plugin. For help enabling a plugin on your VIUBlogs site please click here.
Do I have to use the block editor?
For the time being, there is an option available for those who may not want to change to a new content creation experience. Once VIUBlogs is updated to WordPress 5.0 we will make a plugin available that lets users opt in to using the "classic" editor for their site. However, we highly recommend at least checking out the block editing experience as we cannot guarantee that the classic editor plugin will continue to be updated and available long term.
As early as November 27, 2018 the classic WordPress editor for creating and editing posts and pages in VIUBlogs will be replaced with a block editor. You can try out the new editor or add it to your VIUBlog.
If you have any questions, or need any help, please let us know. You can contact the Centre for Innovation and Excellence in Learning by email (learnsupport@viu.ca) or phone 250.740.6179. We are open 9:00am to 4:00 pm Monday to Friday except on days of university closure.

How to Spot Fake Ray-Ban Glasses
Josh Samuels
Shamindi Wehalle
The American/Italian brand of eyewear and sunglasses has been around since 1936. Ray-Ban was created by an American company Bausch and Lomb. The company was well known for sunglasses like an aviator line of sunglasses. It's no secret that Ray-Bans is one of the most popular sunglasses in the world. So it's understandable that there are imitations of this kind of sunglasses.
But how would you be able to differentiate Original Ray-Ban glasses from the imitations? Shortly, we'll be looking at some of the things to watch out for when you think of getting a pair of Ray-Ban next time. Without further ado, let's get started. Shall we?
Authentic Ray-Bans are made in Italy. Also, these kinds of sunglasses are made up of high-quality materials.
However, when you look closely. Ranging from the weight of the materials to the finishing touches around the hinges. It shouldn't be hard to tell the difference between genuine and fake Ray-Ban sunglasses. From the details of some of the aforementioned properties. You can simply check the quality by running your fingers around the frame of the glasses. It's probably fake if you notice the frame is rough and snaggy.
Ray-Ban lenses are of superior quality to the hinges. And the properties that made up the glasses. You can easily test the authenticity of Ray-Ban by taping the lens to see if it's made of glass. As fake glasses are barely made of glass. However, tapping the lens is not enough to decide whether the Ray-Ban is authentic. You can also take note of the logo. All genuine have "RB" etched on the far left side of the left lens. But with the fake ones, the engravement is either missing or of poor quality. But if you choose Ray-Ban with a polarized lens. At the right lens, there should be "Ray-Ban P" written in the top corner. While "RB" is still etched on the left side of the left lens.
All authentic Ray-Ban glasses have 7 barrel hinges. The silver color hinges have 7 interlocking loops that the bolts pass through. The unique hinges are made of solid metal which is securely bolted to the frame of the glasses with metal rivets.
On the other hand, it's hard to see a fake Ray-Bans with hinges. Even when they do, the hinges won't be neatly bolted to the frame as the authentic ones. It's more likely that there are traces of glued or melted plastics on the hinges of the fake Ray-Ban
Ray-Ban serial numbers
The serial numbers on a pair of authentic Ray-Ban glasses can be found at the left temple arm of the glasses. The numbers start with "RB" and are carefully inscribed on the arms of the frame.
On the right arm, you should see a "Made in Italy" imprint and a CE mark. The CE mark does not only prove the genuity of the glasses. But also make certain that the glasses are capable of protecting your eyes from UV rays. However, please note that both the serial and the manufacturing numbers must be the same as the ones on the packaging. Therefore, if the Ray-Ban serial and manufacturing are not matching, it's most likely fake glasses.
What do we mean by Nose Pads?
They are small plastic cushions under the bridge of the nose. The cushions sit on your nose thereby supporting the glasses on your face. Nose pads provide comfort whenever you are rocking a pair of glasses. The tiny attachment holding the nose pads in place is also known as pad arms.
Although most Ray-Ban metal glasses have see-through nose pads. The nose pads have the Ray-Ban logo etched in the center of the glasses. Only a few metal Ray-Ban glasses have nose pads that are pale peach color. But if you look closely you'll easily spot the etched Ray Ban logo.
It's hard to find a fake Ray-Ban with these aforementioned nose pads.
Authentic Ray-Ban comes with an authentic Ray-Ban casing that protects them from getting scratch. However, different Ray-Ban designs come with all kinds of cases. Ray-Ban glasses come with a black or brown leather case. The case has the Ray-Ban logo etched on it. Also, the case has a branded cleaning cloth.
Counterfeit Ray-Ban glasses barely come with such aforementioned details.
Where You Can Get Authentic Ray-Ban Glasses
Even when you take note of everything mentioned above. You can still fall victim to counterfeit Ray-Ban glasses. This is why intending buyers must be careful about where they purchase Ray-Ban glasses.
Therefore, it is advisable to only buy from a registered dealer licensed to sell authentic Ray-Ban glasses.
However, at Over Night Glasses, you can easily get your authentic Ray-Ban glasses. All you need to do to purchase this eyewear includes:

• Select the Ray-Ban glasses of your choice

The Acquisition of Swahili Verbal Morphology
Recently, much attention has focused on the so-called Root Infinitive(RI) phenomenon, where children in languages such as German use infinitival verbs in root context, seemingly optionally. English has been argued to be an RI language (Wexler 1994), though English speaking children use bare stems instead of infinitives. Languages such as Italian, however, have been shown not to exhibit RIs in early child language. I present results from a study of Swahili, a Bantu language with rich agglutinative morphology. Swahili is an SVO language in which the verbal clause has the following order of morphemes in an affirmative indicative sentence: Subject Agreement – Tense/Aspect – (Object Agreement) – Verb Root – (derivational Wexler (1994) argues that English children also suffixes) – Mood Vowel. If we assume that the linear produce RIs, just like their German, Dutch and French order of morphemes is a reflection of the hierarchical counterparts. He shows that although they do not order of heads (Baker's (1985) Mirror Principle), then produce infinitives per se, they produce bare verbs (2), the morphology of Swahili allows us to test various which are missing all obligatory inflectional affixes. theories of the dropping of functional morphemes. The Wexler argues that these forms are the English speech of four Swahili speaking children ranging in age from 1;8 to 3;1 was recorded in Kenya, transcribed in the CHAT format and coded. The results show that Swahili children do not produce RIs, but do omit Agr and T/A markers. Thus the verb may surface with a Person agreement marker alone, a T/A marker alone, or neither Person nor T/A. In the latter case the verb Interestingly, children acquiring Italian (or Spanish or appears as a bare stem, analogous to what we find in Catalan) do not to go through this stage (Grinstead English. These results are discussed in the light of 1998; Guasti 1993/1994). Instead, Italian children, for various theoretical analyses of RIs, specifically the example, seem to converge on the adult grammar Metrical Omission Model (Gerken, 1991), the Small extremely early with respect to this phenomenon. This Clause Hypothesis (Radford 1986; Radford 1990), is surprising since Italian, unlike English, does have a Rizzi's (1994) Truncation hypothesis, Wexler's (1994) true infinitive. Thus European languages can be underspecification of tense theory, Hoekstra & Hyams' classified into two groups: root infinitive languages and (1998) underspecification of number theory, and non-root infinitive languages. Root infinitive languages Schütze & Wexler's (1996) ATOM model. The basic can further be divided into true RI languages and bare clause typology is found to be most compatible with verb languages. Note that the only well-studied ATOM, although ATOM fails to account for many of language that fits into the bare verb category is English. 1. Introduction
Root infinitive languages
Non-root-infinitive
Children acquiring certain European languages go languages
through a stage in which they use infinitival verb forms in root context. This stage, called the Root Infinitive Stage, or the Optional Infinitive Stage, is characterized by the optional use of utterances such as the those in (1). This phenomenon has been heavily studied in several languages, most notably German (1a. and b., from Poeppel & Wexler (1993)), Dutch (1c. and d., This typology of languages is a problem in our field. from Weverink (1989)), and French (1e. and f., from What is the cause of this typology and how do other languages fit into this typology? Part of the problem is that relatively little is known about children acquiring non-European languages. The goal of this paper is to The verb is embedded within a verbal complex, the broaden the inventory of languages that is used in structure of which is given in (6). I will briefly describe developing acquisition theory, and show that limiting each element in this complex, except for the optional our focus to the well-known European languages leads derivational suffixes, which are not relevant to this to conclusions which do not truly reflect the constraints on child language. I will present results from a longitudinal study of four Swahili speaking children. I (6) Subject – Tense – Object – Verb–suffixes– Mood will first outline some important features of Swahili, and then present results showing how Swahili children use verbal morphology. I will show how Swahili fits into the typology in (3), and discuss the difficulties Subject agreement marks person and number as shown these data pose for several influential theories of early in (7), and there are several tense/aspect markers, given child language : the Metrical Omission Model, the Small Clause Hypothesis, the Truncation Hypothesis, the Underspecification of Number Hypothesis, the Underspecification of Tense Hypothesis, and ATOM (mimi) nilianguka

2. Swahili
Swahili is an eastern Bantu language spoken primarily in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and neighboring areas. Morpheme
The dialect of Swahili in this study is that spoken in and around Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. It is an SVO language; the subject and the object may be optionally null. The verb occurs in a verbal complex which contains inflectional material as well as grammatical (4) Subject - Verbal complex -
Object agreement also marks person and number, but unlike Subject Agreement, is optional. The optionality Most verb roots in Swahili are monosyllabic and of Object Agreement is dependent on the intended contain a single vowel, but as the table in (5) shows, interpretation of the direct object – if the direct object is other verb root structures are not uncommon. The final specific, Object Agreement is obligatory, and if the vowel in the examples in this table are the obligatory Direct Object is non-specific, Object Agreement is final vowel in Swahili, without which the verb cannot obligatorily absent. Because of this optionality and the surface. Each example has the indicative final vowel. complications it poses, I will only discuss Subject Agreement, Tense and Mood in this paper. Mood is marked as a suffix, and is always the final vowel in the verbal complex. This final vowel alternates three ways between the indicative [a], the subjunctive [e] and the negative [i]. The indicative final vowel occurs with on-going actions/states, present habitual actions, past actions/states, future actions/ states, imperatives, etc. The subjunctive is used to express desires, possibility, necessity, requests, etc. Primary stress in Swahili is on the penultimate syllable of any multisyllabic word (Ashton 1947; Maw and Kelly 1975; Myachina 1981; Vitale 1985). Thus in a disyllabic verb, the stress falls on the first syllable of the stem, as in (9). Furthermore, secondary stress usually falls on the subject agreement marker. Examples are given in (10). (10a) is a transitive indicative sentence. The subject is Juma and the object is Mariam, both proper names. The verbal complex shows 3rd person singular subject agreement with Juma, contains the past tense 'li', and 3 rd person singular 3. The Data
object agreement with Mariam. The verb root 'fuat' is Turning now to the acquisition data, the data collection followed by the Indicative final vowel 'a'. was conducted over a period of 11 months in Nairobi, Kenya. Biweekly recordings were made of naturalistic speech in the homes of four children of differing ages. The data were audio recorded and transcribed using Juma a – li – m – fuat – a Mariam CHAT format (MacWhinney & Snow, 1985). Because Juma SA3sg-past-OA3sg-follow-IND Mariam of various social and economic difficulties, it was not possible for all four children to remain in the study for the duration of the project. The table in (12) provides the basic descriptive facts about each child. Tafadhali ni – pat – i – e kalamu A – na – tak – a ku – fu – a dafu Because of the complexity of the data and because naturalistic data is notorious for showing great fluctuations between individual data points, we pooled the data in order to stage the children relative to each other. We did not want to use age as an indicator of (10)b is a polite request using the subjunctive final grammatical development as this is unreliable. vowel. When the subjunctive final vowel is used, quite Similarly MLU by itself has been noted to have several expectedly, the tense marker is absent. (10)c is an drawbacks (see Valian 1991). Therefore a composite example of a complex sentence, with an embedded method was used to stage the children, the criteria for infinitive. Note that the Swahili infinitive marker is a prefix which occurs in the same position as other tense markers in tensed clauses. The final example is an imperative form, which is a bare stem, that is, the verb b. Verbs/Total Utterances (Valian, 1991) c. Percent of proto-syntactic place holders Following Chomsky (1993) and Pollock (1989), and (Bottari, Cipriani, and Chilosi 1993/1994) further following Demuth & Gruber (1995) who analyze Sesotho, a southern Bantu language in a similar According to these three criteria, four stages were manner, I assume a structure for Swahili as in (11). identified, with the files from each child being assigned The verb raises to Mood, with all else being base accordingly, shown in (14). Throughout the rest of this generated in their respective projections2. paper, for ease of exposition, I will be using this staged data rather than data from the individual children. Recall that children in other languages such as English omit certain obligatory inflectional elements. Given this, we might expect Swahili children to do the same. Focusing only on the prefixes, and ignoring Object Agreement because of the complications discussed earlier, there are several logically possible clause types that Swahili children might produce. These, along with Examples of each clause type are given in (17). my terminology for them, are listed in (16). Example (a) is a full clause which is adult-like and fully grammatical. Example (b) is a [-SA] clause, that is, it is missing the subject agreement marker, but has a tense marker, in this case a future tense marker. Example (c) is a [-T] clause, that is, it is missing a tense marker, but has subject agreement. Example (d) is a bare stem missing all prefixes, and example (e) is an RI. (15)a. is a full clause, which contains both Subject Agreement and T. (15)b. is a [-SA] clause, containing tense, but missing subject agreement. (15)c. is a [-T] clause containing Subject Agreement but missing tense, and (15)d. is a bare stem, which is missing all prefixes. Let me be clear here on a terminological point: the term 'bare stem' is used to refer to a verb root plus an indicative final vowel. Other prefix-less verbs also occur in child (and adult) Swahili, namely subjunctive clauses. These are not discussed in this paper3, although see Deen & Hyams (2001) for details on subjunctive use in Swahili child language. Additionally, it should be noted that bare stems in Swahili are different from bare verbs in English, the latter showing a total absence of inflection, while the former show mood marking. Returning to the possible clause types in (15), putting aside theories of agreement, root infinitives, and theories of infinitives for the moment, and given that Swahili has an infinitive morpheme, root infinitives should be possible in child The verbal utterances in the Swahili corpora were (MacWhinney & Snow, 1985), excluding imperatives, imitations, repetitions and non-indicative utterances. The results are presented in (16). Interestingly, all five (although, the child could have intended 'I want to possible clause types are attested, although in varying Note that while RIs are attested, they are exceedingly rare (16/1342 = 1%). In fact, the rate of RIs in Swahili is even lower than that reported for languages such as Italian (for which some report rates as high as 16%, So the errors that we see in child Swahili are errors of e.g., Guasti (1993/1994); see Sano (1995) for a review omission, not errors of commission. This is entirely in of proportions of nonfinite clauses in various line with what we know of other languages. languages). This lack of use of the infinitive cannot be 4. Discussion
attributed to the fact that the Swahili infinitive is a These results are intriguing in many respects. They prefix (as opposed to a suffix) because other show a clear developmental trend in the use of the inflectional prefixes are used. Thus, with respect to the inflectional prefixes in Swahili, the likes of which we typology of languages in (3), Swahili falls into the have not seen in any language studied thus far. There same category as English: it is a bare verb language, have been several theories accounting for children's not a true RI language. Swahili provides us with omission of inflectional material and use of RIs, mostly another example of a bare verb language, making based on languages which lack independent marking of English no longer unique in this respect. As for the SA and T. I will now use this Swahili data to evaluate remaining four clause types, I have plotted their various proportions in a line graph, given in (18). The first is a metrical model of omission, first proposed We see from (18) that in stage 1, all four clause types by Gerken (1991), and later developed in Gerken & are produced at or above 18%. [-SA] clauses and bare McIntosh (1993) and adapted for Sesotho by Demuth stems are more frequent than [-T] or full clauses, but (1994). Gerken found that English children are more not significantly so. In stage 2, [-SA] clauses increase, likely to omit weak unstressed syllables in iambic feet as do full clauses, but bare stems and [-T] clauses as in (19), or weak unstressed syllables preceding decrease significantly. In fact, by stage 2, [-T] clauses trochaic feet (as in 20), but not the weak unstressed occur at a rate of less than 10%. By stage 3, full syllables within trochaic feet (as in 21). clauses become the most prevalent form, followed by [- SA] clauses. Bare stems fall below the 10% mark, as [- T] clauses drop to 5%. This trend continues in stage 4, with the relevant proportions approaching adult norms. Subject to drop The only significant difference between adults and children in stage 4 is the proportion of [-SA] clauses, which is almost 30%. This points to a very clear difference in the grammar of Swahili children between [-SA] clauses on the one hand and [-T] and bare stems on the other. The latter clause types cease to be a possibility relatively early and fade out rather rapidly, while [-SA] clauses remain a possibility even into stage This, she claims, accounts for the omission of determiners and other unstressed functional material in English. Demuth (1994) applies this theory to the omission of noun class marking in Sesotho, and suggests that it may also explain the omission of verbal prefixes. However, the Swahili data are incompatible with a simple metrical model. Recall that stress in the Swahili verbal complex is always on the penultimate syllable, and secondary stress in the verbal complex usually falls on the subject agreement marker. Taking a leftward parsing of the string produces a trochaic foot It should be noted that while subject agreement and on the right edge containing the verb and the mood final tense are used optionally, when they are used errors are vowel. Since most verb stems in Swahili are disyllabic, extremely rare. In all the verbal utterances included in this is the most common pattern. Furthermore, the (16), there were a total of 9/1342 errors: less than 1%. Subject Agreement and Tense prefixes are analyzed together as a trochaic foot , yielding two trochaic feet. others. Such a hypothesis claims that the adult axiom According to the Metrical Model, in cases such as (22) of CP=root has not developed in young children, and so when the verb stem is disyllabic there should be no they can optionally choose to specify the root as some omission. If we now consider trisyllabic verb stems lower projection in the tree. When AgrOP, for example, is specified as the root, then everything above AgrOP is omitted, and if TP is specified as the root, everything above TP is omitted. This theory predicts that nothing from the middle portion of the tree will be omitted. For Swahili it predicts that children may produce full clauses (that is, no truncation because the we see that the rightmost trochaic foot includes the root is CP or AgrSP), they may produce [-SA] clauses second syllable of the verb stem and the mood final (when the root is TP), they may produce Bare stems vowel. The first syllable on the verb stem forms (when the root is either AgrOP or MoodP), or they may extrametrical information, and so should be subject to produce Bare Verb Roots (when the root is VP). omission. However, crucially, the subject agreement and tense markers form a trochaic foot, and should not (24) Predictions of Truncation for Swahili: The vast majority of verbs produced by the children in this corpus were disyllabic or trisyllabic, and so a metrical account falls short of explaining the omissions. Furthermore, children tend to center on the verb stem and produce the verb stem correctly, irrespective of As mentioned earlier, verbs missing the final mood syllabic structure5. What they seem to have problems vowel are unattested in child Swahili, and so (24) d is with more than anything are the inflectional prefixes. problematic for truncation. This could be accounted for Metrical theory cannot account for this specific by postulating a lower limit to truncation, although no such proposal exists for any other language that I am Several researchers (such as Radford (1986), Lebeaux aware of. However, a much more serious problem for (1988); Guilfoyle & Noonan (1988), etc.) looking truncation is the [-T] clauses. These are problematic mostly at English speaking children's bare verbs and because they contain material from low in the tree and omission of determiners have proposed that very young material from high in the tree, but are missing material children lack functional structure entirely. Given the from the middle portion of the tree – precisely what Swahili structure in (11),we expect Swahili speaking children to produce no prefixes and no mood final In addition to these theories, there have been several vowel. However, interestingly, Swahili children never theories of underspecification which attempt to account omit the final mood vowel. Furthermore, from the for RIs. One such theory was proposed by Hoekstra & earliest stages they use the final vowel appropriately. Hyams (1998), in which they propose that only number This dichotomy between Subject Agreement and Tense is optionally underspecified in the grammars of young on the one hand and Mood on the other is evidence children. With number underspecified, children which a No Functional Structure Hypothesis simply acquiring number-marking languages such as Dutch or cannot accommodate. Furthermore, such a hypothesis English use an infinitival form or a bare stem does not account for the differential omissions of the respectively. Languages such as Italian are person marking languages, and so do not exhibit RIs or bare Similarly, a theory that claims a single functional verbs. According to their definitions, Swahili is a projection above VP, such as that proposed by Clahsen person marking language, and so an underspecification et al.(1996) in which there is a single unitary of Number theory predicts that Swahili children should inflectional projection which later splits into two or not omit any functional elements. This is clearly not more projections, predicts that Swahili children should use one and only one prefix at any one time. However, A second underspecification theory is that proposed by as we saw in (18), Swahili children produce full clauses Wexler (1994), in which tense is underspecified. which contain both Subject Agreement and T. However, such a theory predicts that only tense should Furthermore, they produce bare stems, which contain be omitted, while we see that in Swahili agreement is neither Subject Agreement nor T. This is not predicted The final underspecification theory I will consider is Let us turn now to a Truncation-type hypothesis such as proposed by Schütze & Wexler(1996) and in more that proposed by Rizzi (1994), and subsequently by detail in Schütze (1997). They claim that children can optionally omit either Agr, tense, both or neither. This difference from other inflectional heads. This model, called ATOM (Agr-Tense Omission Model) interesting fact will be the focus of Deen & Hyams predicts that Swahili children may produce full clauses, [-SA] clauses, [-T] clauses and bare stems, as shown in One conclusion we can draw from this study is that our previous understanding of the typologies in child language were overly simplistic and based on languages that confounded various inflectional properties. Languages like Swahili that mark inflectional heads distinctly can be enormously useful in our understanding of the development of child grammar and how inflection is used in their grammars. ATOM appears to make the correct predictions with respect to the various possible clause types, but several Acknowledgments

Because of this characteristic, will continue to assume it for the purposes of this paper. For Swahili offers us a new window into child language, a more detailed analysis of Swahili, see Deen (1999) and revealing several interesting facts. First, we see that Deen (forthcoming), chapter 2.

This is somewhat a problem if we are trying to ascertain the nature of [-T] surprising since Swahili does have an infinitive marker. clauses, since it is possible that children are producing One possible reason for this is that Swahili, like subjunctive forms with an incorrect final vowel. Apart from English, marks the infinitive as a prefix, and perhaps the fact that such errors of commission are extremely rare in the position of the infinitive leads to a dropping of the child language in general, these clause types are very clearly distinguishable on the basis of context. Subjunctives very infinitive prefix. However, since other inflectional clearly indicate an irrealis-type meaning, while presumably, prefixes are used in varying proportions, why would the the [-T] forms should not since they are marked indicative. infinitive be completely absent if Swahili were indeed This interpretive difference was used as a criterion in counting, with all those utterances that could possibly be Furthermore, despite Swahili being a pro-drop language considered a subjunctive (due to their irrealis interpretation) with rich person agreement, bare verbal stems still occur. This is surprising given what we know about A possible objection is that other parses are possible. Italian and Spanish, where such verb forms do not However, there are two conditions which rule out other occur. Finally, the mood final vowel is used correctly significantly different parses.

Josh Cribbs: The Return Man, Video Part 1
He was named to the NFL's All Decade Team [2000's], and he's the League's all-time leader in kickoff returns for touchdowns [eight]—hard to believe for an undrafted free agent quarterback out of Kent State University.
True, he owes his pro stardom to special teams, but Josh Cribbs has always been a return man. Give the man an opportunity, and he will not only run with it, he will give back a whole lot more in return. It's been his M.O. throughout his football career.
Like when he took over the QB reins as a sophomore at Washington, D.C. football powerhouse Paul Laurence Dunbar High School. The inexperienced [or so they said] Cribbs led the Crimson Tide to three consecutive D.C. Interscholastic Association championships.
As a QB, Cribbs made more plays with his feet than his arm, and some big-time college programs recruited him to play wide receiver or safety. Unfortunately for them, Cribbs wanted to remain at QB, and he was granted his wish at Kent State in rural Ohio.
Over the course of the coming weeks, STACK will chronicle the story of the record-setting QB who became the NFL's most-feared special teamer. In Part 1, Cribbs talks about the golden opportunity he found in committing to a Kent State football program that had long been the doormat of the MAC Conference.
Be sure to make your return to the STACK blog next week for Part 2 of the Cribbs series.

Distinguishing Characteristics: White female. Brown hair, brown eyes. West may use the last name Hill. Her nickname is Pete. She has a surgical scar at the base of her chin and her ears are pierced. Her right ear has no lobe. Her fingernails were painted at the time of her disappearance.
West was last seen by a friend at her house in the 3700 block of southwest 42nd in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at 7:00 p.m. on June 14, 1985. Her mother reported her missing and West's photo appeared in the newspaper and was broadcast on television. Afterwards, someone claiming to be West called West's mother's workplace and left a message saying she was all right. Her mother never actually got to talk to the caller, however, and the caller's identity could not be confirmed.
Investigators believe West could have come to harm and her disappearance may be drug-related. It remains unsolved.

Il freno di bocca, detto anche freno di volata o compensatore è uno strumento posto sulla volata di una bocca da fuoco, che sia fucile, pistola o cannone, per redirezionare i gas in uscita diminuendo sia il rinculo che l'alzo della canna dopo lo sparo. I freni di bocca sono molto utilizzati in combattimento ed in competizioni di tiro a tempo, e di solito sono posti su armi da fuoco che sparano proiettili di grandi dimensioni (quali fucili da caccia grossa o anti-materiale), ed anche su di alcuni pezzi da artiglieria e cannoni da carro armato.

Tecnica

Il concetto dei freni di bocca è piuttosto semplice. Uno dei modelli più semplici è quello montato sui cannoni da 90 mm del carro armato M47 Patton. Questo consiste in un corto pezzo di tubo posto perpendicolarmente alla canna, in volata. L'idea è di ridirezionare e controllare l'uscita dei gas della combustione che seguono il proiettile.

Nei modelli convenzionali, i gas sono fatti uscire ad un certo angolo rispetto alla canna. Questo crea una forza che aiuta a contrastare il movimento indietro dell'arma oltre che l'alzamento dopo lo sparo. La massa e la velocità dei gas in uscita sono tali da spingere l'arma nella direzione opposta al rinculo. Sul fucile d'assalto AKM, il freno è angolato leggermente a destra per contrastare il movimento laterale dell'arma durante lo sparo.

Un altro modo di rindirizzare i gas è mediante  compensatori. consiste nel creare dei forellini appositamente studiati della parte finale della canna. Questi fanno uscire i gas verso l'alto, ai lati del mirino, così da compensare l'alzo della canna. È una applicazione della terza legge della dinamica. I compensatori sono più spesso usati nei fucili a canna liscia, pistole Magnum e pistole da tiro rapido, oltre che in fucili d'assalto con il tiro a raffiche di tre. Nella maggior parte dei casi però il contributo alla precisione è minimo se non nullo.

Un'altra strategia consiste nel rallentare i gas in uscita, con l'utilizzo di un silenziatore.

Costruzione
I metodi più semplici di realizzazione consistono nel tagliare la volata diagonalmente, o nel praticare dei forellini al termine della canna.

I modelli più avanzati usano gabbie, superfici e camere di espansione per rallentare i gas; a volte le camere sono fornite di aperture, producendo una gabbia allungata.

Caratteristiche

L'adozione di un freno di bocca comporta sia vantaggi che svantaggi.

Vantaggi
Viene spesso misurata una diminuzione tra il 10% ed il 50% di forza di rinculo grazie a un freno di bocca, anche se alcuni produttori dichiarano che la percentuale sia ancora maggiore. Perché il freno funzioni bene serve un grande volume di gas e sufficiente velocità e pressione in volata per ottenere una buona riduzione di rinculo. Questo significa che cartucce dal proiettile largo con tanto propellente funzionano meglio rispetto a cartucce più piccole.

Un altro effetto è di ridurre l'alzo della canna dopo lo sparo, permettendo un più veloce riallineamento della linea di mira. Nei fucili più piccoli, questo permette anche all'operatore di vedere l'impatto del proiettile attraverso il mirino telescopico, e in quelli più grandi diminuiscono la probabilità dello stesso di colpire l'occhio e la testa del tiratore. In più diminuisce la fatica del tiratore e l'abitudine di anticipare il rinculo, un comportamento comune che diminuisce l'accuratezza.

Svantaggi

Gli svantaggi principali sono l'aumento del livello sonoro per gli operatori, poiché le onde sonore, invece che in avanti si propagano anche nelle direzioni perpendicolari e a volte verso gli utilizzatori. La fiamma è più visibile, marcando il punto dello sparo, e in più lo spostamento d'aria fa alzare la polvere, diminuendo la visibilità degli utilizzatori e rivelando la posizione di tiro. In generale, i freni di bocca aggiungono lunghezza, massa e diametro alla canna, nella parte con maggiore influenza sul tiro. Possono causare una concussione ai seni paranasali dei tiratori, specialmente nei fucili di grosso calibro.

Nel caso di pistole del tipo magnum, l'adozione di un freno di bocca è impossibile, in quanto i livelli sonori registrati alla bocca eccedono i 160 decibel. La soglia di rumore al di sopra della quale si hanno danni permanenti all'udito, si ha al superamento del valore di 120 dB. Poiché anche i migliori sistemi di protezione non sono in grado di attenuare più di 35 dB circa, adottando un freno di bocca con queste armi e quindi esponendo il tiratore a pressioni sonore di questo tipo, anche con protezioni uditive si avrebbero danni permanenti all'udito.  Normali tappi per le orecchie attenuano tra i 20 e i 30 dB in base alla costruzione e modalità d'uso, usando insieme tappi e cuffie, offre al massimo una protezione di 36 dB, valore ancora insufficiente in questa e altre applicazioni con armi da fuoco molto rumorose.

Un'arma con freno di bocca non può montare anche un silenziatore, in quanto i gas espulsi ad angolo non possono essere silenziati.

Differenza con i tromboncini antifiamma

Oggetti simili ai freni di bocca sono i tromboncini rompifiamma e i coni rompifiamma, che però non diminuiscono il rinculo, né l'alzo della canna se non in maniera occasionalmente minima, ma servono soltanto a dividere la fiamma alla bocca, per non disturbare la linea di tiro dell'operatore.

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) (em português máquina a máquina) refere-se a tecnologias que permitem tanto sistemas com fio quanto sem fio a se comunicarem com outros dispositivos que possuam a mesma habilidade. M2M usa um dispositivo (como um sensor ou medidor) para capturar um evento (como temperatura, nível de estoque, etc), que é enviado através de uma rede (sem fio, com fio ou híbrida) para uma aplicação (programa), que transforma o evento capturado em informação útil (por exemplo, itens que precisam ser rearmazenados). Isto é obtido com o uso da telemetria, a linguagem que as máquinas usam para comunicar entre si. Tal comunicação foi originalmente obtida com uma rede remota de equipamentos transmitindo informação de volta para um centralizador a fim de ser analisada, podendo ser posteriormente roteada para um sistema computacional, por exemplo um computador pessoal.

Entretanto, comunicações modernas M2M expandiram-se além da conexão ponto-a-ponto e mudaram para sistemas de rede que transmitem dados para equipamentos pessoais. A expansão das redes sem fio em todo o mundo tornou mais fácil o estabelecimento da comunicação M2M e reduziu a quantidade de energia e tempo necessários para transmitir informação entre equipamentos. Essas redes também abrem um leque de novas oportunidade de negócios e conectam os consumidores aos fabricantes em termos de disponibilidade de novos produtos.

Nos últimos anos, o SMS tornou-se um crescente e importante mecanismo de transmissão que representa um tipo de comunicação M2M, com a onipresença do GSM e o relativo baixo custo do SMS como vantagem. Preocupações surgiram em relação à confiabilidade do SMS como um canal M2M, entretanto o crescimento da SS7 direta conectou gateways de SMS, que pode oferecer melhor confiabilidade e também a habilidade de confirmar o recebimento, reduzindo as preocupações citadas anteriormente.

SCOTLAND'S "damaging and confusing" verdict of not proven in criminal trials must be scrapped, Douglas Ross has said.
The Scottish Conservative leader said the controversial verdict "serves no useful purpose in a modern justice system".
He said many who have "suffered the horror of serious crime" have then gone on to have their "pain compounded" by the verdict, which results in the accused being able to walk free.
Scotland is the only part of the UK where juries can return three verdicts at the end of a trial: guilty, not guilty or not proven.
The Scottish Tories will include a pledge to abolish the verdict in their manifesto for next year's Holyrood elections.
The move was welcomed by the father of murdered teenager Amanda Duffy, who was killed in 1992.
Francis Auld was tried for the murder of the 19-year-old but was acquitted after the jury found the case against him not proven.
Joe Duffy said: "Myself and my family are delighted the Scottish Conservatives are including a proposed change to the three-verdict system in their manifesto and advocating to end the contentious not proven verdict.
"The return of a not proven verdict exacerbates the trauma and loss for victims and their families.
"It is misunderstood, unnecessary and out of date.We sincerely hope there will be cross-party support in the Scottish Parliament for this proposal for the benefit of everyone affected by the criminal justice system."
The Tory commitment was also welcomed by a woman known as Miss M, who successfully sued a man cleared of raping her for damages in the civil courts.
She said: "I began the End Not Proven campaign in collaboration with Rape Crisis Scotland two years ago this week.
"I am pleased to see political parties recognising this issue.
"I have met with each party and expressed my concerns to the First Minister and hope to see continued support.
"We have the evidence and Scotland's survivors and their families have spoken out. It's time to end the use of not proven - a misunderstood acquittal verdict which causes untold damage."
Mr Ross said his party was "fully committed to scrapping not proven".
Speaking as the Scottish Conservatives' virtual conference got under way, he added: "Many people who have suffered the horror of serious crime have had their pain compounded by this damaging and confusing verdict.
"Having examined this issue in detail, and having listened to victims, it clearly serves no useful purpose in a modern justice system.
"The time is right for Scotland to give jurors the clear choice between guilty and not guilty."
Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf said: "The Scottish Government-commissioned independent jury research, published in October 2019, is the largest and most realistic of its kind ever undertaken in the UK and the first mock jury research to consider Scotland's unique jury system with 15 jurors, three verdicts (including not proven) and a simple majority.
"I have made it very clear that reform of the three-verdict system must be given serious consideration, particularly due to the confusion caused to some jurors by having two acquittal verdicts.
"Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, a broad range of stakeholder events were under way to seek views on all of the findings and any implications for criminal justice reforms.
"This work has now resumed and we will publish a summary of these discussions in due course.
"I note with interest the position of the Scottish Conservatives. I have committed to engaging further with all opposition parties to hear their views on the subject."

Q: Creating an object without calling it's constructor There are a few questions I've seen on SO that deal with this issue, but I seem to be having a unique issue.
I am trying to create an object , then do some initializing elsewhere in my code, and call the constructor after having done that. To do this, I'm creating a smart pointer to an instance of the object, and then resetting it:
#include "relevantHeaders.h"
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    std::unique_ptr<MyObject> obj;

    if(someCondition){
        // Do stuff
        obj.reset(new MyObject(stuff));
    }
    doOtherStuff(obj);
}

The reason that I need to do this is because obj continues to be used after the conditional under which I call the constructor- if I were to instead create the object, in a normal call, under the conditional, then it would be out of scope later.
First, this seemed to me to be the best way to do this, after some research. Thoughts?
Second, I am getting this error upon compiling:
The text ">" is unexpected.  It may be that this token was intended as
a template argument list terminator but the name is not known to be a
template

What does this mean?
Edit: Since everyone is highly concerned with relevantHeaders.h, let me say this... The following (pseudo)code works perfectly fine:
#include "relevantHeaders.h"
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    MyObject obj;

    if(someCondition){
        // Do stuff
        // obj.reset(new MyObject(stuff));
    }
    doOtherStuff(obj);
}

that is, I can use MyObject just fine. It breaks when I add the std utility unique_ptr.

A: If creating a shallow copy is not enough for your objects, declare your own assignment operator. If shallow copies are fine, do nothing and an implicit shallow copy assignment operator will be made for you.
Then you can do:
MyObject obj;
if(things) {
    obj = MyObject(stuff);
}

T-Mobile switches on standalone 5G network, expands coverage by 30 percent
Image: T-Mobile
T-Mobile says that it has officially switched on "the world's first standalone 5G network," allowing the company to maximize the use of its 600MHz 5G spectrum. Previously, that 600MHz footprint was directly tied to the carrier's LTE coverage map and thus limited in reach. "With today's launch, 600MHz 5G can go beyond the mid-band signal, covering hundreds of square miles from a single tower and going deeper into buildings than before," T-Mobile wrote in a press release.
It celebrated this expanded 5G availability — T-Mobile claims standalone 5G immediately increases its 5G footprint by 30 percent — by putting on a drone show in Lisbon, North Dakota, an example of one of the small towns that's now getting 5G for the first time. In all,…

It's more than a game "The Footballer"
Through the eyes of Sam's mum Lindy Moorfoot.
Sam Moorfoot, played in his first team in Grade 2 at Highton Primary School. This was Basketball. He then joined a mixed netball team about the same time. Prior to this, Sam had been following his two older brothers to all their sporting activities and was desperate to play in his own teams.
Football began with Auskick. He used to tag along with his older brothers at about Age 4. His brothers, Tom would have been 6 and Jack Aged 8. He was desperate to play in his own team even then, but began attending his own Auskick clinics at around 7 years old. He loved it, and couldn't wait to follow once again in his brothers footsteps, and play in a real team. He eventually did, playing from Under 10's through to Under 14's at South Barwon Football Club. He had very supportive team mates, many that attended Highton Primary School and then Belmont High School with him, and coaches who were very supportive and inclusive.
Sam went onto have some wonderful opportunities with Special Olympics, representing Victoria at Junior National Games in Canberra as a 14 year old and later as an adult, travelling with a State team to play in the National Games in Adelaide. He also played netball in an All Abilities league and later 10pin bowling in an Achievers League.
Not to mention his current role as water boy for the Geelong Football Club which he describes as his dream job!
Since Sam's "retirement" from playing football at Under 14's, he has constantly wanted to play football in a team of his own. Unfortunately the opportunity had never presented itself, until Leisure Networks and Bell Park Dragons football club, put their heads together and started up a FIDA League in Geelong this year.
He loves football and is so proud to be part of his own team.
– Lindy Moorfoot on Sam's achievements.
Sam is now 25 years old and this has fulfilled another of his dreams. He loves football and is so proud to be part of his own team. He has made a whole bunch of new friends and was very proud when his family and some of the Geelong Football players came and watched him play in his first game this year. The fact that he kicked a couple of goals and was able to run the ground to celebrate with them was "icing on the cake".
Sam tells me all the time how much he loves his life. We are so grateful. Thanks Tim (and everyone else involved) for making this footy team happen.
He had to wait 11 years to be part of his own footy team again and absolutely loves it.

head-less - [transponder]
Patrik Lindström Electro, Electropop '[transponder]' is the German act Head-less first and only full-length album from 2002. The bands first release was the single 'Friendship' (2000) which also is found on this album. The group have also released an EP called ''Ship of Agony'' (2005).
The three band members René, Matthias and Markus together creates a swinging, heavier futurepop and even though it every now and then feels kind of ordinary Head-less surprise us with great tracks like "Friendship", "It's enough", "Bodylove" and defiantly "Want to be your friend" which have been on repeat in my headphones the last days.
The bands latest EP 'Ship of Agony' will be reviewed soon as well and after I have listened to '[transponder]' I really look forward to hear the bands latest material and I'm hoping for a new full-length album to be released soon.

This article is called Double Standards because I really didn't know what else to call it. This is basically just going to be a short or maybe long rant depending on how into it I get. This rant is about a friend of mine, well I say friend he's more of an annoying person that just won't leave you alone.
I have a friend, now I am going to put names because I really just can't be bothered with changing any names anymore. You will be named and you will be shamed. Stephen an old friend of mine, known him for around four years now. I attended college with him when I was on Art and we were quite close friends. I changed courses and we lost contact. On 28th June 2016, this guy walked back into my life and we became quite close again, we hung out, we texted we called and we skyped like usual friends do. This was all fine and dandy until 25th November 2016 when myself, him and a friend of his all went back to his flat to watch movies. I was calmly watching the movie when Stephen made a move on me, I told him to politely back off and he did. Throughout the night I felt super uncomfortable and stayed away from him. I couldn't get back home because his friend was drinking so I stayed the night in the bedroom while he was out on the sofa. Moving on to a couple weeks later he tells me that he is ''in love with me'' now, I say that in quotation marks because this guy falls in love with anything that pays attention to him. He catches feelings quicker than a crack head gets drugs. I told him I didn't feel the same and we remained friends. Or so I thought.
Christmas day I went round to his flat with him and his friend again to watch movies, my home life was pretty bad as my stepfather of 13 years walked out with no explanation but that's another story. We were all having a quiet drink when Stephen began to give me more drinks, I was already super pissed and I was just taking them, yes my own fault I know that. But what was not my fault was being pinned to a fridge by my neck and having my shirt taken off and changed into one of his and put into the bathroom to throw up. I was clean and I didn't have thrown up down my own shirt so I saw no need to have mine taken away.
I don't remember anything after being put into the bathroom and the next day I went home with a strange bite mark on my shoulder next to my neck, I thought it was maybe just where I had fallen over and passed it off as nothing.
A couple weeks later Near years came around and I went back round. I did no drink and I slept on the sofa next to his friend who was on the floor on the air mattress. Two weeks later I'm at home, on my laptop doing some college work as my mom was in the hospital from having kidney failure. I stayed off college so I could care for the house and my two younger brothers. Stephen's friend, who will remain nameless because he's done nothing wrong, messaged me and asked me a few questions. He asked me if I was serious about Stephen and if so why was I messing with his feelings. I was confused and asked him to explain.
Turns out that Stephen had been telling his friends, since November, that he had been sleeping with me and taking me out on dates. I denied them because none of it was true and told him my side of the story. I never left the house long enough to get a date nevermind go and sleep with someone. Stephen had gone as far as to leave condoms all over his house saying I had used them with him and that I was messing around with his feelings and leading him on and saying I loved him. None of which was true.
I let it slide, again my fault, and pretended I knew nothing of the sort. I moved on until recently. He started to date one of my best friends who I've known for two years. This was fine and I was glad he was leaving me alone. Me and his friend had bonded over talking about memes and our awkwardness and we decided to hang out on our own and not tell anyone. Somehow Stephen found out and flipped about it. Told me I was wrong to do such a thing and how much of a 'dirty hoe' I was being about it. We left it all alone.
This past month Stephen has done nothing but tell me his friend is sleeping with other people, which I know may or may not be true because I don't date him so if he is, he is it's not down to me and he keeps telling me that he is annoyed. But he is using his friend and a person who doesn't exsit as a example of me and his friend.
I finally had enough and snapped. ''At the end of the day they're both over the age of 20 you don't own either of them and if they want to hang out or date they can it has nothing to do with you. They're their own people they decide what they do and don't get to do you are not their parent'' He left it alone and then messaged me again. ''It isn't fair though, he knows I love her and I would do anything for her'' I was annoyed at this and ignored him for a week. He continued to message me and I continued to ignore him.
Klaused › You are so charming.

Ozzy Osbourne's Guitarist Zakk Wylde Plays Black Sabbath on a Hello Kitty Guitar
in Comedy, Music | June 8th, 2018 Leave a Comment
When Sanrio—that megalithic maker of kawaii icon Hello Kitty—partnered with guitar companies to make pastel-colored six-strings bearing the mouthless kitten's face, many a big-time musician found the ostensibly kid's-oriented instruments irresistible. Hello Kitty guitars were "possibly the apex of Sanrio's cross-media synergy-blitz," wrote David McNamee in a cranky 2009 piece at The Guardian, "that has seen them slap the cold, vacant stare of their brand-leading cash cow… on to every conceivable kind of consumer merchandise including vibrators (sorry, massagers), assault rifles, tampons, condoms, urinal cakes, cars, computers, booze and pet costumes."
The chirpy Lisa Loeb took to Hello Kitty guitars as part of a personal brand makeover, which doesn't much surprise since she eventually moved to writing children's music. But "a scan of YouTube," McNamee goes on, "reveals that Hello Kitty's core audience is actually balding, middle-aged men, shredding out covers of Yngwie Malmsteen and Rush."
I'm not sure how accurate this statement is in market research terms, but I can testify to knowing at least two middle-aged men who swear by pink Hello Kitty Stratocasters.
Go ahead, laugh it up, but you probably wouldn't do so in front of certain Sanrio shredders, like former Ozzy Osbourne and current Black Label Society guitarist Zakk Wylde, who has made a side gig—as we noted in yesterday's post—playing covers of heavy rock tunes on tiny, cutesy Hello Kitty acoustic guitars. See for yourself in his Hello Kitty take on Black Sabbath's "N.I.B." at the top and a version of his own original "Autumn Changes" further up. Would you laugh at seriously versatile Marilyn Manson guitarist John 5 and his Hello Kitty guitar? Maybe, but reserve your judgment until after you've seen him start his "new career" in Hello Kitty guitar marketing above.
Rising to the challenge, Mark Tremonti and Eric Friedman decided to take on Metallica's "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" on a Hello Kitty guitar and ukulele, "refusing to skip the track's various solos," points out Loudwire. It's "a true jam on truly crappy instruments that the boys somehow made work." What, exactly, is the appeal of these Hello Kitty sessions to people who aren't, presumably, the usual Hello Kitty tween demographic?
Maybe it's just some good clean fun from people who might seem to take themselves a little too seriously sometimes. When rock stars show a sense of humor, it makes them more relatable, right? Hey, even the Beatles made their bones with musical comedy, so why shouldn't Evanescence's Amy Lee give us a moving, candlelit rendition of Death Cab for Cutie's "I Will Follow You into the Dark," as played on a Hello Kitty keyboard?
See all of these videos and more—including Bumblefoot's soulful Hello Kitty metal classics covers and a potty-mouthed Mike Portnoy bashing away on a Hello Kitty drumkit—at Loudwire's YouTube channel.
