Грув-метал ( metal) — направление в экстремальном метале, сформировавшееся в начале 1990-х годов. Название происходит от музыкального понятия грув, обозначающее ярко выраженное ритмическое ощущение в музыке, создаваемое цикличной игрой музыкантов.

Черты жанра
Грув-метал группы используют среднетемповые риффы в пониженном строе, сосредотачиваясь на тяжести, ритме и синкопировании. Гитаристы играют низкочастотные пауэр-аккорды и соло на средних ладах, применяя технику палм-мьютинг (глушение струн ладонью правой руки).
Тембр характерен сильными басами, обычно с резким искажением.

Как и в большинстве других стилей метала, в груве басовые линии вторят риффам ритм-гитары, но иногда используются как введения в гитарный рифф или как интермедии, когда риффы гитары не акцентированы, также для баса повсеместно используется эффект дисторшн.

В вокальных партиях чаще всего используется харш, гроулинг и чистый вокал.

В грувовых ударных типично применение двух бас-бочек, с акцентом на волнообразном их использовании, а не на скоростных басовых перестуках и бластбитах, используемых в других экстремальных металлических стилях.

История и влияние жанра на тяжёлую сцену
Грув-метал зародился в 1990 году, стараниями сразу нескольких коллективов, преимущественно из США, начавших эксперименты с комбинациями элементов трэша, хардкора, хеви и дэт-метала в разных пропорциях. Вопреки устоявшемуся мнению Pantera не была первопроходцем стиля, но является группой, оказавшей наибольшее влияние на популяризацию и закреплению жанра в мейнстриме. Так первым грув-метал релизом является второй студийный альбом американской группы Prong, под названием Beg to Differ , а уже следом за ним вышел пятый полноформат Cowboys from Hell Pantera, показавший отход от изначально выбранного группой глэм-металa.
Спустя несколько месяцев Exhorder выпустили свой дебют Slaughter to the Vatican, в котором помимо классического трэш-метала также прослеживались характерные для грува элементы.
Следом за ними, в 1992 году, выходят два грув-релиза на стыке с альтернативным звучанием, а именно: La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1 от White Zombie и второй студийный альбом Meantime группы Helmet, а уже через год, в 1993, появляется культовый для жанра Chaos A.D. бразильской команды Sepultura.
Отдельно стоит выделить выпущенный спустя два года после Cowboys from Hell альбом Vulgar Display of Power Pantera, который в одночасье стал считаться эталоном жанра и одним из самых значимых метал-релизов 90-х годов. Также нельзя обойти вниманием альбомы Burn My Eyes Machine Head, Demanufacture Fear Factory и Destroy Erase Improve Meshuggah, определившие вектор развития стиля на годы вперёд.

В середине 90-х британская дэтграйнд группа Napalm Death отошла от своего классического звучания, выпустив ряд грув-металлических релизов, включая полноформатные альбомы Fear, Emptiness, Despair и Diatribes. В конце 90-х начале 2000-х культовая британская хеви-метал группа Judas Priest выпустила два грув-металлических релиза (Jugulator и Demolition) с Тимом Оуэнсом на вокале, после ухода оригинального фронтмена Роба Хэлфорда в 1992 году, который продолжил свою творческую деятельность в грув-метал сайд-проекте Fight.

В период расцвета жанра ветераны трэш-метал сцены не остались в стороне и тоже начали экспериментировать с новым на тот момент направлением в связи с упадком популярности трэша, выпустив ряд грув-металлических релизов. Среди них находятся Anthrax (1992—2003), Exodus (Force Of Habit), Accuser (с 1992), Overkill (1993—1999), Annihilator (1994—2005), Kreator (Cause For Conflict), Coroner (), Sodom (), Destruction (The Least Successful Human Cannonball), Testament (Low, Demonic), Slayer (Diabolus In Musica, God Hates Us All), Metallica (St. Anger). Кроме того, британская рэп-метал группа Hacktivist утверждает, что использует элементы современного грув-метала в своей музыке. Также стоит отметить норвежскую группу Khold, которая стала известна благодаря своему уникальному смешению традиционного блэк-метала со среднетемповым грувом. Помимо всего влияние жанра прослеживается в позднем творчестве американских дэткор коллективов Suicide Silence, Upon A Burning Body, Whitechapel и на дебютном альбоме Molotov Solution.

В дальнейшем жанр продолжил своё существование в 2000-х годах в лице Lamb Of God, Chimaira, Soulfly, DevilDriver, Gojira, Hellyeah, Black Label Society и Five Finger Death Punch, имея немалый коммерческий успех и по сей день.

Грув и смежные стили

Ню-метал
Грув-металлические коллективы имели заметное влияние на группы, играющие ню-метал, в свою очередь последние переняли многие элементы грува, включая использование низконастроенных гитар, грувовые риффы и сочетание харша и чистого вокала (яркий пример — Slipknot, Coal Chamber, Dry Kill Logic, Static-X и многие другие). Некоторые грув-метал группы вроде Machine Head или Fear Factory экспериментировали с ню-металом в конце 90-х и в начале 2000-х. Machine Head являются отличным примером группы, сочетавшей грув с элементами альтернативной музыки. Джонатан Дэвис, вокалист пионеров ню-метала Korn, сказал про гитариста Pantera Даймбэга Даррелла следующее: «Если бы не было Даймбэга Даррелла, то не было бы и Korn». В 1990-х годах музыкальный журналист Гарри Шарп-Янг обозначил Pantera, Machine Head, Biohazard и Fear Factory тегом «neo-metal», отметив, что эти группы «решили раздеть метал до его сырой, первобытной основы», и что «нео-метал проложил дорогу для ню-метала».

Мат-метал
Мат-метал является смесью грува, мат-рока, прогрессивного метала и джаза. Первопроходцем жанра считается шведская группа Meshuggah, которая смешала авангардный грув-метал, прогрессив-метал образца Tool с атональными соло, ритм партиями и обилием полиритмии, создав тем самым своё уникальное направление, которое впоследствии и стало называться «мат-металом», и, значительно позже, было подхвачено другими исполнителями и популяризировано. В настоящее время жанр тесно связан с течением Djent. Наиболее яркими представителями являются: Meshuggah, Textures, Vildhjarta, Uneven Structure и Animals As Leaders.

Сладж-метал
Некоторые сладжевые группы по звучанию сильно напоминают грув-метал (например Crowbar), так как они используют аналогичные низкочастотные пауэр-аккорды в сочетании со среднетемповым исполнением и «кричащим» вокалом, но сладж как стиль появился раньше и в общем рассмотрении имеет куда более медленное и вязкое звучание, чем у грува, из-за того, что является производным от дум-метала жанром. Тем не менее, сладж оказал некоторое влияние на грув-метал, в частности, на Pantera и её последователей.

Neue Deutsche Härte
Neue Deutsche Härte (или просто NDH) появился и развивался в середине 1990-х годов в Германии. Является смесью грув-метала, EBM и музыки пионеров индастриал-метала — Die Krupps и Ministry, имея при этом преимущественно немецкоязычную лирику. Первопроходцами NDH как жанра считают немецкую группу Oomph!, чей второй альбом Sperm (1994), написанный под влиянием Sepultura, Prong и Pantera, является смесью электроники и тяжёлой музыки. Так же Rammstein дебютировали с альбомом Herzeleid (1995).

Металкор
Такие грув-метал группы как Sepultura и Pantera наравне с кроссовер-трэш командами Agnostic Front и Cro-Mags заложили основы металкора, повлияв на становление жанра. Помимо этого, журнал MetalSucks описал дебютный альбом Destroy the Machines группы Earth Crisis, который многими считается первым настоящим металкор-релизом, давшим толчок для развития всего жанра, как «хардкорный взгляд» на грув-метал Pantera/Exhorder/Prong конца 80-х-начала 90-х годов. Именно поэтому стиль риффинга многих металкоровых команд имеет схожесть с грувом, а некоторые группы, такие как Lamb Of God, Chimaira и Throwdown являются представителями обоих стилей. Все коллективы выпускали альбомы в то время, когда металкор достиг пика своей популярности в начале 2000-х, при этом ярко заметен хардкоровый и даже дэт-металлический тип вокала, но всё же их музыкальный стиль и гитарный риффинг намного ближе к груву, чем у большинства других металкоровых команд.

Anna Faris Responds To Chris Pratt's 'Divorce Sucks' Comment
(Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images)
Katie Jerkovich Entertainment Reporter
April 20, 2018 6:12 PM ET
Anna Faris responded Thursday to Chris Pratt saying their "divorce sucks" in an Entertainment Weekly article this week.
"We have a great friendship. We really do. And we always have. And yeah, it's always tough to envision your future as one thing, but I think there's a lot of love," the 41-year-old actress shared during her appearance on SiriusXM radio.
"In what we do, there's so much unpredictability," she added. "I think that it's a lesson learned a little bit in terms of keeping relationships a little more private potentially, even though I don't wanna. I pride myself on being a pretty open person, but I don't know. It's tough when you're under the scrutiny."
The comments came after Pratt opened up about how things have been going for him since the pair announced they were separating after eight years of marriage.
"Divorce sucks," the 38-year-old actor shared. "But at the end of the day, we've got a great kid who's got two parents who love him very much. And we're finding a way to navigate this while still remaining friends and still being kind to one another. It's not ideal, but yeah, I think both of us are actually probably doing better."
The popular celebrity duo announced last August.
"We tried hard for a long time, and we're really disappointed," Pratt wrote at the time. "Our son has two parents who love him very much and for his sake we want to keep this situation as private as possible moving forward. We still have love for each other, will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another."
The Hollywood couple met in 2007 when they worked on the movie "Take Me Home Tonight," and later married in 2009. In 2012, their son Jack was born.

Zac Efron shock: Vanessa Hudgens' ex talked about mental issues after preparing for this role

Veteran actor Zac Efron discusses a dark period in his life after intense training for THIS role and how it affected him.
Zac Efron rose to prominence as the lead character Troy Bolton in the "High School Musical" trilogy. He later appeared in the musical film "Hairspray" and the comedy film "17 Again." The 34-year-old actor recently underwent one of the most difficult challenges of his acting career: obtaining the "Baywatch" body.
In an interview for Men's Health's October 2022 cover story, Efron opened up about the physical and mental anguish he endured while preparing for his role in the comedy-action film in 2007.
Efron said:
"I started to develop insomnia, and I fell into a pretty bad depression, for a long time. Something about that experience burned me out. I had a really hard time recentering. Ultimately they chalked it up to taking way too many diuretics for way too long, and it messed something up."
In "Baywatch," Efron co-starred with veteran actors Dwayne Johnson, Alexandra Daddario, and David Hasselhoff. He described the lengths he would go to achieve the "Baywatch" body and his doubts at the time.
Efron explained:
"That Baywatch look, I don't know if that's really attainable. There's just too little water in the skin. Like, it's fake; it looks CGI'd. And that required Lasix, powerful diuretics, to achieve. So I don't need to do that. I much prefer to have an extra, you know, 2 to 3 percent body fat."
Following the conclusion of "The Greatest Showman," the actor expressed his disappointment and later took a break from acting while living in Australia. Efron revealed that to cope, he tried to give up his fitness routine but ended up feeling "miserable."
Through "constructive misery-but more mindfully," the "Baywatch" star eventually came to terms with his mindset in continuing his fitness journey.
Despite the difficulties, Efron's efforts may have paid off when the film received several nominations. During the 2017 Teen Choice Awards, the 34-year-old actor was named Choice Movie: Comedy Actor. "Baywatch" also won the Golden Schmoes Award for Best T&A of the Year.

Links to some wonderful reviews.
The years, and an intervening, long-running TV show, have fuzzed our memories of what Neil Simon's great comedy was about, but Theater J's fine production will set us straight. Oscar Madison (Rich Foucheux) and Felix Ungar (J. Fred Shiffman) are not stock comic characters, cranky and neurotic in turn, but unhappy men with deep emotional problems, who are as dependent on each other as partners in a three-legged race. Though not all pain is funny, all real humor derives from pain, and thus Foucheux and Shiffman are, together, achingly funny.
And here, for variety's sake, is the best "I did not enjoy this play" review you'll ever read!
We love this – We'll take it!

Now on view through Dec 18 at The Boston Center for the Arts' Mills Gallery.
This was our first version for holding the video projectors–we failed to realize these projector trays would place each projector in the way of the opposite projector. Time to do it again.
Second draft: Each projector gets it's own adjustable stand. This allows maximum flexibility when we install on the island (and don't have access to electricity).
Framing finished. We'll attach the rear-projection fabric on site.
Our installation is loaded on the white pickup truck. This barge takes all of the exhibition artists' work to the island, which was somewhat a delightful surprise to us: some bridges you just have to cross when you get there.
The Lasers were generously loaned to us by Pacific Laser Systems. Each self-leveling construction laser is on a different sized stand. This is 99 lasers (and about $200 of AA batteries).
JR Uretsky and Murray McMillan test the parachute.
The uneven ground analyzed with lasers.
The lasers had the option to create vertical lines too–this is a test with the verticals turned on.
We love how the parachute becomes like lava.
This is a early test with the vertical option turned on.


NewsBusters editor Brent Baker has done a superb job reporting on the smear job against Bill O'Reilly from the liberal group Media Matters. Fox News's John Gibson does an awesome job at tearing them apart. If you haven't heard the audio from his show yet... you should definitely take a listen.
This thing about Rush is really crystal clear. You can see how they lie. In this case, they said Rush said something, posted an audio recording of it and an audio transcript and cut it off at the precise moment where the next thing he said proved them wrong. Heres how it went down. I'll play this bit and you can hear what Media Matters posted of what Rush said and then I'll play you what he said next....the words that came next. The words that came right after they cut it off....and you will see...here...because this is radio...you will hear the live admission by this Soros backed group called Media Matters.
You just have to hear it....the part they cut out.
He goes on to play audio of Rush discussing Jesse MacBeth and how he is a phony and how Rush was discussing "phony solidiers" as just that...liars like Jessie MacBeth. It's a total liberal bias smear.
...what Media Matters does is, by editing, makes Rush Limbaugh sound awful, leaves out the part where its clear what precisely he's talking about..not just people who he is categorizing, for convienience, as phoney soldiers, but adjudicated...imprisoned phoney soldiers. Media Matters left that out. That is a lie.
But it gets even better as Mark Levin tears in and questions their status as a non-partisan group. It sounds alot like the same arguement on the ACLU being non-partisan and getting tax payer dollars. Completely biased.

The music of The Beatles' legend Paul McCartney will be brought to life in Scunthorpe this weekend.
Macca: The Concert will celebrate the life of the enigmatic singer.
The show, which will take place at The Baths Hall on Saturday (October 14), stars West End leading man Emanuele Angeletti as Paul McCartney.
In the first concert of it's kind to tour the UK and Europe, Macca: The Concert, features acclaimed West End musicians and uses state of the art visual media projection throughout, celebrating McCartney's entire solo career from 1970 to 2016 including all his best loved hits, the acclaimed Wings over the World 1975 to 1976 concert tour and a selection of Beatles favourites.
Experience the drama of Live and Let Die, the pathos of No More Lonely Nights and the nostalgia of Band on the Run, alongside many, many more.
Speaking ahead of the show, Emanuele, who also plays McCartney in the hit musical Let It Be, said: "The show opened last January in Southport.
Speaking about what people can expect from the show, he said: "To hear a live good music, we do our best to recreate the closest sound to the originals. The show is also a look a like performance with same instruments and costumes.
Speaking about how he becomes McCartney, Emanuele said: "It was a coincidence. I remember Paul was my favourite when I was a teenager then I started to play his songs and it became a job through the years.
Macca is a multimedia show with videos and vintage instruments for the first act, then the show becomes more modern song by song until present day.
Emanuele said the UK tour will take place until the end of October, then the show will go to Norway for two weeks for another tour.
The show will start at 7.30pm.

Brazil wind energy booms, and cheaper than gas
Brazil's current 1,400 MW of installed wind power represent only around 1 percent of its total capacity. Nonetheless, it is slated to grow almost eight-fold between 2010 and 2014 to reach 4.2 per cent, according to wind energy association ABEeolica.
EPE expects Brazil's total power consumption to rise 60 per cent between 2010 and 2020, reflecting Brazil's brisk economic growth and expansion of its middle class. ABEeolica expects 25 billion reais in wind turbines investments between 2009 and the end of 2013.
Vestas, Spain's Gamesa and France's Alstom have invested in manufacturing facilities to build wind turbines in Brazil, while General Electric and India's Suzlon Energy are studying similar projects.
Brazil's A-3 energy auction, a competitive tender between several energy sources, took place on Aug. 17 and saw an average price for wind farm projects of below 100 reais/MWh (or less than $63/MWh). Brazil's A-3 energy auction, a competitive tender between several energy sources, took place on Aug. 17 and saw an average price for wind farm projects of below 100 reais/MWh (or less than $63/MWh), according to the Brazil Wind Energy Conference (BWEC). The overall average price was R$102.07/MWh, with 1.5 GW of energy contracted in the auction at a total price of R$29.14 billion.
The bulk of the energy offered during the auction was either wind power or natural gas. Of a total of 2.7 GW of potential capacity approved to participate, wind turbines represented 39% and natural gas represented 38%. In total, there were 51 successful participants, of which the large majority – 44 – were wind projects.
The key electricity utilities contracting to buy the energy included Companhia Energetica de Minas Gerais, which will buy 25.2% of the total; CPFL Piratininga, which will buy 11.07%; and Amazonas Energia, which will buy 10.81%.
The 44 wind farm projects have committed to supply a total of 1,068 MW of energy to the Brazilian electricity grid under the terms of the auction, at an average price of R$99.58/MWh, which was below the expected price. The average wind energy price was 23.1% below the average in 2010's auction (R$130.86/MWh) and 28.36% below the maximum stipulated price, according to BWEC. The Reserve Auction, for wind power only, takes place today.

George was born at Hackford near Reepham in Norfolk, the eldest of the three children of Goodwin Kilburne (1812–1887) and Rebeccca Button (1801–1880). Kilburne was educated at Hawkhurst, Kent - his fathers old school. On leaving at the age of 15, he went to London to serve a five-year apprenticeship as a wood engraver with the Dalziel brothers. They had three sons and two daughters - of these his eldest son, George Goodwin Kilburne Jn. became a very well known painter of animals and figures, principally of sporting subjects. In 1881 the family were recorded as living in Hampstead, London.

Live Nation Reaches Settlement With DOJ Extending Consent Decree Through 2025
11:56 AM PST 12/19/2019 by Dave Brooks, Billboard
Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino
The deal does not include a fine and sources familiar with the negotiations say the changes are mostly clarifications over disagreements between the company and assistant attorney general Makan Delrahim, who had identified five violations (out of 5,000 contracts signed) in the last decade.
Live Nation has reached a settlement with the Department of Justice's antitrust division, agreeing to extend the 2010 consent decree governing the merger of Ticketmaster and Live Nation to 2025 and clarifying rules regarding threats and retaliation against venues that don't sign with the ticketing giant.
"We have reached an agreement in principle with the Department of Justice to extend and clarify the consent decree. We believe this is the best outcome for our business, clients and shareholders as we turn our focus to 2020 initiatives," the Michael Rapino-led company said Thursday in a statement.
The settlement does not include a fine and sources familiar with the negotiations say the changes are mostly clarifications over disagreements between Live Nation and assistant attorney general Makan Delrahim, who had identified five violations of the decree (out of 5,000 contracts signed) in the last decade.
Live Nation's stock immediately rebounded after the story broke, rising nearly 10 percent and trading around $70 per share after spending the week trading around $64 per share following the news that Delrahim's office was investigating the company over compliance issues with the decree. As part of the settlement, the company's ban on threatening to retaliate against venues has been tightened and Ticketmaster sales reps are not allowed to discuss content bundle deals with venues or detail how Ticketmaster facilities get preference for shows. Live Nation will still be allowed to give Ticketmaster venues priority over non-Ticketmaster venues but can't punish venues that don't re-up their deals.
The nuanced tweeks are likely to disappoint the growing chorus of senators, congressional reps and company critics who had been calling for Live Nation to be investigated and widespread policy changes implemented. The decree essentially leaves the industry at its current status quo and isn't expected to have any broad marketplace implication beyond the fact that Live Nation is now able to put the long-rumored investigation behind it as the company heads into the next decade.

Title: Single Autosomal Trisomy in Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Author(s): S. K. Ma and T. S.K. Wan
Hematology Section, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong China,China
Keywords: Single Autosomal Trisomy, Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndrome, Aberrant CD7 expression, Myeloid Leukemia AML, Fluorescence in situ hybridization, MLL Gene Duplication, Myeloid Disorders, Trisomy, Leukemogenesis
Abstract: Single autosomal trisomy is a common numerical cytogenetic abnormality in hematological malignancies, and shows a predilection for myeloid disorders. While the strong morphologic correlation as for chromosomal translocations is lacking, phenotypic associations are observed for the trisomies. Trisomy 10 is associated with aberrant CD7 expression in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and trisomy 13 is associated with immature subtypes of AML having hand-mirror blast morphology. Cytogenetic abnormalities have been shown to be the most valuable prognostic determinant in AML and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Trisomy 8, the commonest of the trisomies in myeloid disorders, is associated with an intermediate prognosis, while poor clinical outcome has been described in AML with trisomy 11 and trisomy 13. Additionally, the presence of a trisomy allows the application of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques in monitoring therapy response, detection of minimal residual disease and determination of l ineage involvement. The role of trisomy in pathogenesis remains to be defined and a gene dosage effect has been suspected. The recent finding of MLL gene duplication in association with trisomy 11 represents the first documented gene rearrangement in this setting. Finally, whether single autosomal trisomy is a primary or secondary cytogenetic abnormality is presently unclear. Evidence in favor of a secondary change includes frequent association with well-defined structural changes and translocations, and appearance of trisomy with disease evolution. In this respect, it is interesting to note that trisomy may be a cytogenetic marker for an underlying cryptic gene rearrangement, for example trisomy 22 and CBFbeeta MYH11 fusion in AML. This review will summarize the current understanding of single autosomal trisomy in myeloid disorders.

Geneva is home to UNOG, the unattractively titled European headquarters of the United Nations, housed in a complex of buildings off Place des Nations. Some areas are open to the public for official guided tours (July–Aug daily 9am–6pm; April–June & Sept–Oct daily 10am–noon & 2–4pm; Jan–March & Nov–mid-Dec Mon–Fri 10am–noon & 2–4pm; Fr.8.50; www.un.org). The tours – in any of the UN's fifteen official languages – are only moderately interesting in themselves, but are packed with star quality for those who want to hobnob with history. This is the world's single largest conference centre for multilateral diplomacy and top-level international politicking – when the news has reports of "negotiating taking place in Geneva", they mean here. If this impresses, then you'll enjoy the visit; if it signals only the dreary prospect of traipsing along corridors and standing in empty conference halls, you should probably take your francs elsewhere.
The Palais des Nations was built from 1929 to 1936 to serve as the headquarters of the League of Nations, set up to prevent a recurrence of war on the scale of World War I but stymied soon after its birth by the outbreak of World War II. When the organization was re-founded as the United Nations in 1945, headquartered at New York, the Geneva office became European HQ. Since then it has burgeoned, and now encompasses offices administering a vast array of economic and social UN development work, as well as bodies dealing with the negotiation and signing of treaties and conventions of all kinds. It's also the hub of UN operations to deliver humanitarian aid and uphold human rights around the world.
The main entrance of the Palais des Nations, facing onto Place des Nations, is for UN staff only; the public entrance is up Avenue de la Paix opposite the Red Cross Museum. To enter, you'll have to hand in your passport and go through airport-style security procedures (you're effectively leaving Switzerland and entering international territory). You should then walk down the hill to the left, towards Porte 39 in the new wing, from where tours depart. Note that you may have to wait fifteen or twenty minutes for the next tour in English (there's a bookshop for browsing), and also not only are there no lockers to leave your stuff, but the tour, which takes an hour, ends at a different exit closer to the passport-control gate.
Once you get going, you're regaled with a potted history of the UN and its philosophy, and odd factoids such as the UN is currently owed more than $2 billion by the US in unpaid subscriptions, or that when the US denied Yasser Arafat a visa to address the UN in New York in 1988, the entire General Assembly had to fly to Geneva to hear him speak in the great Assembly Hall, visitable today more or less in the same condition as when it was inaugurated in 1937. The Council Chamber, which hosted the negotiations to end the 1991 Gulf War, is decorated with gold-and-sepia murals painted in 1934 by the Catalan artist José Maria Sert, depicting the progress of humankind through health, technology, freedom and peace, all very heroic. Indeed, the whole architectural style of the main wing – granted to an international consortium after Le Corbusier's visionary modernist visions had been rejected – is, rather ironically, a prime example of 1930s fascist, complete with cold marble floors, gigantic bronze doors and the hard lines of Neoclassicist Art Deco. That the building's rear extension, built in the late Sixties, today resembles the worst of London or Paris's inner-city office blocks, merely adds insult to injury.
Just down the hill from the UN, in a distinctive Neo-Baroque mansion set in the same park, is the Musée Ariana (Mon & Wed–Sat 11am–5pm, Sun 10am–5pm; free), devoted solely to seven centuries of glass and ceramics from Europe and the East. Unless you're a fan, though, the building – semicircular galleries overlooking an internal atrium – is likely to be as inspiring as its contents. Highlights of the lavish collection include beautiful and intricately decorated European faience and porcelain from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, the earth tones of Spanish ware contrasting with deep creamy French colours and light Italian pastels. There are plenty of English notes to mug up on as you go around.


It is also referred to as a "pixie atomic" set.
Essentially, from a right toe stall, you set the bag straight up in the air and as it is going up — you circle the bag clockwise with your right foot followed immediately by your left foot — before hitting a downtime component.
At this stage there is some doubt about who invented sailing sets.
The first obvious tip is to get really good at pixie, atomic and symposium atomic sets. The pixie set for sailing sets is very fast and sharp and the atomic set starts before the pixie set is back on the ground. Double legover ("dlo") will also help a lot as sailing sets are essentially a dlo in reverse. When learning, it is best to focus on keeping the bag close to your body, not trying to set it too high and starting the atomic dexterity as soon as possible.

I believe there is a big difference between flying on a short flight and a long flight with a baby… so I want to be clear that this was my experience with a solo one hour flight. I still learned a lot on these flights that I will be using on my longer flights in the future! You can find my first big flight experience by clicking HERE!
The first thing I did to ensure a successful flight was to arrive with enough time to not be stressed out about check in, security and finding my gate! I flew with Westjet and found flying out of Calgary they were absolutely wonderful, flying home they were fine, but nothing to write home about. I was meeting my dad, uncle and brother in Vancouver and fortunately my dad brought a few things from Grandma and Grandpas house so I didn't have to being everything… I still ended up with a huge suitcase, a backpack, diaper bag, stroller and car seat that I had to deal with! I couldn't believe how much stuff this little one required… but I realized that you need a certain amount of stuff no matter how long you are going. 1 week vs. two weeks doesn't actually mean that much more! You get two free baby items with most airlines, that I fly with, and what I realized was that you don't have to gate check them both, or you can… whatever you want to do! When there were two of us we gate checked the car seat and umbrella stroller. Because it was just me, I was able to check in the car seat with the giant suitcase! They provided a bag for it and tagged it all up… easy!
FYI: My packing list will be in the next post!
So far in my flight experiences with a baby I have only had to wait with everyone else to go through security once, otherwise I have been put in an express line… so nice! I like to be nice and prepared for security so I don't wear a belt, usually I wear Toms so I can slip them on and off easily(usually they let me keep them on), no extra jewelry… seriously make it is easy on yourself! With a baby you are allowed liquids, just be prepared for them to swab them. I had all my liquids (basically a food pouch and a Sippy cup with water) easy to access and ready to go! On my way out of Calgary apparently I set off some alarm with one of the food pouches I brought, so I ended up getting a very thorough search! Talking to the very nice security guy, he mentioned that often the food pouches do set off extra alarms (maybe because they have liquid, metal and plastic in them?). He did say if there are some less than 100 ml that they don't need to swab them… if I find these I might pick some up, but on the way home I had the same brand of pouch and had zero issues!
In Vancouver I discovered a family bathroom… wonderful! It was huge so I could roll the stroller in and have plenty of room. There was also a little bench where I could nurse baby H easily. In the airport I made sure I had a blanket with me, to put down on the ground so that she could roll around and play before we left (naturally she did end up on the airport carpet a bit, but what are you going to do?). I also always grab a bottle of water for the plane, which was great because there was no way I was going to be able to put a tray down with her!
It is so nice being able to get on the plane first and get all settled. I believe the airlines really prefer you do this as well, so they can go through all the safety stuff and make sure you are good to go! Also I should add, as we were boarding one of the lovely attendants helped me out by holding H while I folded up the stroller (there was almost a fight amounts the gate agents about who would help me! Haha). Being a short flight I made sure I was in an aisle so I could walk around if I wanted… I am a window girl usually! Being that it was such a short flight I changed H prior to boarding the plane. I put my diaper bag in the seat in front of me with easy access to toys (although I was correct in thinking she would be more interested in the people on the plane!). Also I made sure I had a little bag of baby puffs and crackers in the outside pocket of my diaper bag. H is happiest when eating, just like her mom. I have never had issues with her ears, but do make sure she is sucking on her pacifier for takeoff and landing. Going to Vancouver H was a bit excited so she spent most of it jumping on my lap, for an hour not a big deal! On the way back she slept for most of the flight… giving me a dead arm!
All in all it really was a very easy experience… being prepared and knowing it was only an hour flight… I had confidence I would be able to handle it! If you are travelling by yourself and have an issue just ask for help! People are HAPPY to help!
Great ideas more parents would read this.
Great tips! We've flown with our kids since they were babies but we always had 5-13 hour flights so I am a little jealous that you got to take a 1-hour flight with your sweet baby! 🙂 Those family restrooms at airports are so wonderful!
I totally agree that being able to take a quick flight is lucky… 10 hrs drive vs 1 hr flight… Yah not a difficult choice for us!!
Great read! Saving this for when I have kiddos 🙂 I love to travel and doing so with a kid sounds terrifying!
As long as you are somewhat prepared it is totally possible… I'm still terrified, but a healthy does of fear has helped me be prepared for the worst I think!
I have flown solo with a baby or a baby and older children more than I have travel with my kids and the kids with me! It is like second nature to me but still can be so difficult. Each age brings new challenges. This is a great post about what to expect and pack for. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for such positive feedback!
I have traveled solo with a baby exactly once, and it was a long flight. Your tips are spot on. For a longer flight, I bought all new toys, snacks, books etc., so that whenever my little one got fussy, I had a trick up my sleeve. I didn't even need them all, but it gave me piece of mind, knowing I had a plan.
I feel so horrible when I look back and think about all the time I secretly rolled my eyes at a baby being on board! Parents are doing their best!
Such great tips for flying solo with a little one! You go!
