Nineteen Intermediate Acoustic Guitar Songs
Preview the Acoustic Songs from the Intermediate Course
These songs don't settle for just the basic open position chords. Instead, we move up the fret board to play what is called barre chords.
We also include bass lines, a few melodies, some extended chords and even a few slash chords in these arrangements.
However, to learn these songs is just the beginning, take the intermediate course and you can learn from them and in doing so unlock the guitar fretboard.
Not only will the course reveal how barre chords can be used in different positions, how scales are weaved into an arrangement, you'll also learn how to write your own guitar parts and eventually songs for yourself.
To find out more about each song, follow the links below.
'1234' is played in drop D tuning, this means that you lower the 6th string from an E to a D.
Because of the drop D tuning, we need to alter the way we fret a G chord, the root will be on fret 5, rather than 3.
If you want to learn more about playing in an open tuning, this is a great place to start.
Go to video lessons: 1234 chords.
The intro to 'A Change Is Gonna Come' is a guitar version of the string arrangement from the original recording.
Think of this song as if in the key of G. By applying a capo on fret 2 you'll be in the same key as the original, A.
When you take the intermediate course we first learn it as in the video, then create a second guitar part using barre chords.
Go to video lessons: A Change Is Gonna Come chords.
'American Pie's chords can be tricky to remember since the same chords seem to be repeated in lots of different ways.
By hearing each chord as a number you can follow the vocal melody and don't actually have to memorise the progression.
You'll learn more about how to predict musical movement like this when you take the course.
Go to video lessons: American Pie chords.
'Angie's chord progression constantly strive to go back to Am, which is chord VI. This makes the song in the key of Am.
All chords are actually very common in 'Angie', maybe even standard. However, the order of them is slightly unusual. Most unusually, the E7 doesn't go to the Am, it goes to a G instead, very rock n roll…
Go to video lessons: Angie chords.
This song has a great maj7 chord lick as the main riff, just like another song in the intermediate course, 'Fast Car'.
'Babylon' is played using a capo on fret 1, so what you hear is in Eb, but you think in D.
The chorus has a repetitive progression that is only varied at the end of each line. Progression tricks like this are very common in songs that become hits.
Go to video lessons: Babylon chords.
'Beautiful's chords could be seen as if played in either the key of Eb or Ab or both at the same time!
It's tricky to play chords in keys such as Eb and Ab when you don't play with a capo. All chords will be barre chords.
This makes 'Beautiful' a proper challenge for the fretting hand. The intermediate course help you with how to tackle these type of challenges.
Go to video lessons: Beautiful chords.
Blowin' In The Wind
Only using C, F and G chords, 'Blowin' In The Wind' keep up the interest by adding bass lines and a mystery half time bar.
The bass line is notated as slash chords and played with a capo so what you hear is in the key of D.
This was Bob Dylan's first hit, half a century later, he regularly plays this classic at gigs.
Go to video lessons: Blowin' In The Wind chords.
The chords for 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' are very simple, it's the speed of the picking that is hard.
Using D, Bm and A (with some extensions) for the verse we only change to D, A and G for the chorus.
Seemingly simple, 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' is actually the last song you learn in the course, this is down to the speed of the instrumental part.
Go to video lessons: Breakfast At Tiffany's chords.
Dreadlock Holiday
'Dreadlock Holiday' is played with a capo in order to sound good on just one acoustic guitar.
This all works out really well until the song modulates up a semitone. How do you move a capo and play at the same time?
The guitar course discusses this further, you don't have to have an assistant like I do in the video lesson!
Go to video lessons: Dreadlock Holiday chords.
This song is played differently to how Tracy Chapman played it. Instead of finding the chords higher up the neck, my arrangement is playing it using open position chords.
You'll find out why and more about the original as well as the difference between the arrangements in the intermediate course.
Perhaps the most difficult part is to move from a fingerstyle verse to a strummed chorus.
Go to video lessons: Fast Car chords.
Being in the key of D and using a clever bass line, 'Hey There Delilah' manage to take an extremely common chord progression and make it feel fresh.
Executed with a perfect balance between "heard it before" and "sounds new", this song became a worldwide hit after being marketed over two albums.
Go to video lessons: Hey There Delilah chords.
I Can't Stand The Rain
This classic soul/blues classic mainly rely on a repetitive dom7 chord riff.
As the chorus kicks in, we find chords from outside of the key that creates a great contrast to the first, blues-influenced riff.
Ann Peebles had a hit with it and so seemingly everyone else who covered it!
Go to video lessons: I Can't Stand The Rain chords.
A huge hit in 2008 from Jason Mraz, Spy Tunes actually recorded this song before it was officially released.
Using an old demo from 2005 we took this song and made it our own thinking if Jason isn't gonna release this, then we are!
Using the most common chord progression found in hit songs it is perhaps the unusual key of B that makes it feel slightly different.
Go to video lessons: I'm Yours chords.
'Kiss Me' use a static chord for the verse, changing the extension from major to maj7, to dom7 and then back to maj7 again.
The chorus uses a standard progression although we start it from a slightly unusual point. This small change makes it feel new enough to be a hit.
Studying movements like this are what will enable you to write songs yourself.
Go to video lessons: Kiss Me chords.
'Mad World' is a piano ballad in Dorian that in this arrangement has been adopted to just one acoustic guitar.
All chords are from the key of D major, however, D is not the home chord, Em is. This is why it's 'in Dorian' where we call chord II home.
The intermediate course takes it all the way and explains how this is more common than you may believe.
Go to video lessons: Mad World chords.
'Red' by Daniel Merriweather is in the key of E major and only use the I, IV, V and VI chord throughout the entire song.
We get different extensions depending on what chord is used in conjunction with the open strings that keep ringing through all chords.
The original recording is a huge production, orchestrated by the genius that is Mark Ronson. Still, take all that away and we still find a great song.
Go to video lessons: Red chords.
There are some very unique chords played in 'Starman', the Bbadd#11 being what stands out the most.
'Starman' is in the key of F and there are more little odd movements than the Bbadd#11 to discover.
For example, I've even managed to sneak in an open position Gm chord into this one guitar arrangement.
Go to video lessons: Starman chords.
Sunny Afternoon
'Sunny Afternoon' has a bass line to create a looped pattern for the intro/chorus tag in a minor key.
When the chorus starts, the same major key is applied and we get a great sense of positive relief.
Going from minor to major like this is one of the best tricks to apply when you want to create tension and release writing a song.
Go to video lessons: Sunny Afternoon chords.
Whistle For The Choir
This song only has four chords, so very simple. The instrumental section simply modulates down a tone to create some variation.
We recorded 'Whistle For The Choir' in two keys for two different singers, try both and consider how each key suit the song and what it means to the arrangement.
In the intermediate course, we learn from this as we play the same progression in all four keys, all over the neck!

Allari Naresh's Kevvu Keka shooting in RFC
Allari Naresh has made it a habit, over the years, to juggle between at least two projects at given point of time. That's one of the reasons why he manages to wrap up around three to four films a year. Earlier this year, he was seen in Nuvva Nena, Sudigadu and his latest film Yamudiki Mogudu released in theatres today. After this, he'll soon be seen in Anil Sunkara's Action (3D) and Devi Prasad's Kevvu Keka. Currently, the shooting of Kevvu Keka is going on in Ramoji Film City. Devi Prasad is directing the film and Boppana Chandrasekhar is producing the film. Sharmila Mandre is making her debut in Telugu cinema with this film. A song titled 'Babu Rambabu' is being shot on the film's lead pair, Mumaith Khan and Kiran Rathod in a specially erected set for the film. Talking about the film, Boppana Chandrasekar said, "The film is about a guy who wants everything he does to become a memorable event and the hilarious situations which he lands up in because of his nature." Bheems and Chinni Charan are composing the music. The film is slated for release in 2013.

The next step is to obtain certified funds to send to the lender or their attorneys. These funds should be in the form of a bank or official check, as lenders will not accept personal checks for payoff or reinstatement purposes. The borrower's attorney should send these checks to the proper party by reliable courier, such as Federal Express.
Once the funds are received by the lender, the lender should then notify their attorneys that the loan has been paid in full, or has been reinstated. Either way, any pending foreclosure litigation should be discontinued. Under New York law, if a foreclosure action is to be discontinued, the plaintiff (the party who brought the case) must make a motion with the Court to end the action. Of course, the borrower (the defendant) will not oppose such a motion, and the Court will then issue an order discontinuing the action and cancelling any notice of pendency that may have been filed with the County Clerk. Counsel for the borrower should monitor the Court to make sure the lender's attorney has taken all of the necessary legal steps to end any pending litigation.
If the loan has been fully paid, the lender should also file a Satisfaction of Mortgage with the County Clerk. If the loan has simply been reinstated, the borrower should make sure that they receive updated statements from the lender that should show the amount of the new payments due, and when they are to be paid.
Our firm handles foreclosure defense and has extensive experience in resolving such litigations in an expeditious manner.

Delivering conservation message to kidsDelivering conservation message to kids
AmeriCorps and WaterRocks partnership helps expand education program for youth.
THE MESSAGE: Jack Schilling (left) and Megan Koppenhafer are AmeriCorps members who conducted conservation education presentations for Iowa schoolchildren through the Water Rocks! program last year.
By Hilary Pierce
Since September 2017, Water Rocks! has worked with AmeriCorps in a collaboration that has paid dividends for both the program and the AmeriCorps members involved.
AmeriCorps is a national service program aimed at improving lives and fostering civic engagement among young people. The program is funded through the Corporation for National and Community Service, an independent agency of the federal government. Sometimes viewed as a domestic alternative to the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps places more than 80,000 service members across the U.S. annually.
Water Rocks is Iowa's award-winning youth water quality and conservation education program based at Iowa State University Extension. Water Rocks delivers classroom education modules in concert with school teachers throughout Iowa. In addition, the Water Rocks school assembly program brings lessons about watersheds, soil and pollinators to large groups across the state. Since beginning the partnership with AmeriCorps, the Water Rocks program now visits some 180 schools annually.
Water Rocks is an AmeriCorps host site through the Iowa AmeriCorps 4-H Outreach initiative. The overarching goal of this program is to provide youth programming based on 4-H youth development principles and practices.
Through the AmeriCorps program, service members are placed with Water Rocks for terms ranging from nine months to one year. AmeriCorps pays the member a modest living stipend and offers an education award they can use toward further studies or repayment of student loans at the successful completion of the term. At Water Rocks, service members work directly with core team members on educational programming.
"Water Rocks has employed summer interns to help conduct school programs and community outreach for many years, but our resources were more limited during the university school year," says Ann Staudt, Water Rocks director. "Becoming an AmeriCorps host site gave us access to motivated individuals to serve with our program and help us meet the great demand for youth water quality education in Iowa schools. We've hosted three AmeriCorps members to date, and they've all added strength to the Water Rocks program."
Motivated young people
The AmeriCorps service members over time hosted by Water Rocks are Jack Schilling, Megan Koppenhafer and Joshua Harms. All came to the program through different avenues, and each has empowered Water Rocks to expand its capabilities.
Schilling was looking for a meaningful way to spend a "gap year" after graduating high school. He joined AmeriCorps and found Water Rocks through the program. He lived on a farm but was not actively engaged in conservation activities before becoming a Water Rocks team member.
OUTREACH: Continuing to work with Water Rocks as a teaching intern while pursuing his college degree, Jack Schilling helps bring the conservation and water quality message to Iowa classrooms.
Schilling says he learned a lot about himself and living independently, honed his work skills, and found a much stronger connection to the environment. He has continued to work with Water Rocks as an intern while pursuing his college degree.
"Jack came to the program with no preconceptions and jumped right in," Staudt says. "He was able to immediately contribute to our program, particularly with his background in music and theater, helping to deliver Water Rocks school assemblies to elementary and middle school students across the state."
Using what they learn
Megan Koppenhafer already had two summer internships with Water Rocks under her belt when she joined the AmeriCorps program and put in a final season with the team. Koppenhafer was finishing a double major at ISU, graduating in December 2017 with degrees in environmental science, and community and regional planning.
She joined AmeriCorps to help round out her work experience as she entered the post-graduation job market. Koppenhafer says she had considered the Peace Corps but wasn't ready to make the distance or time commitment. The flexibility in service term and locale made AmeriCorps a better fit for her at the time. After her term, she took a position as a community planner in Scotts Bluff, Neb., where she carries what she learned with Water Rocks into her community engagement activities.
"Megan and Jack came to the program from different paths, but immersion with the core Water Rocks team helped them both become important contributors that we relied on heavily during their terms," Staudt says. "The biggest asset we've seen in our AmeriCorps service members is enthusiasm for service and education. We can't teach passion like that, but we can certainly put it to good use."
Enthusiasm for service
Joshua Harms is currently serving with Water Rocks through AmeriCorps. He previously served as a Water Rocks intern during high school. Looking to have a "gap year" after graduation that would give him a challenging and meaningful work experience, he looked to AmeriCorps.
Harms says the education award will not only help pay for college, but also give him the chance to learn more about himself and build professional work skills. While he doesn't see teaching as a career path, he says he enjoys engaging with kids and going to schools. The interactive school presentations and assemblies give him an opportunity to learn while having fun.
FUN LEARNING: Joshua Harms is currently serving with Water Rocks through AmeriCorps and enjoys delivering the water quality and conservation message to school kids in Iowa.
Joshua felt that bolstering the Water Rocks team with AmeriCorps members during the school year definitely strengthens the potential impact of the program. He says, "It's great to reach out to the next generation as much as possible. Anyone in the audience could be the next farmer or conservationist that can make a difference. Water Rocks can make those ideas click for kids and the more chances we have to get the message out, the better."
"The Water Rocks and AmeriCorps collaboration has benefited the program and the service members, but more importantly, it has enabled significant expansion of outreach activities with youth in Iowa," Staudt says.

Kawneer Announces Retirement of Industry Veteran, Bob Leyland; Colin Brosmer Selected to Succeed as Director of Sales
On August 3, after 37 years with Kawneer, Bob Leyland, Director of Sales, will retire from the company. He began his career with Kawneer in 1975 as a sales trainee in Niles, Michigan and was quickly assigned to the Cincinnati, Ohio territory. In 1980, Bob returned to Niles where he served as a National Account Manager and then as the Product Manager for storefront, entrances and framing.
Bob moved to Southern California in 1984, where he served as the District Sales Manager until 1994. He then moved to Norcross, Georgia to serve as the Senior Product Manager for storefront, entrances and framing. He was named Director of Marketing in 1996 and later assumed executive leadership of the sales and marketing organizations in 1999. Bob has continued to lead the North American sales organization since 2004.
Recently, Bob spoke with USGNN about his career. When asked what he was most proud of in his long career, Bob said, "Couple of things: Being able to participate [in] and [become a] leader [of] an industry-leading company. I started with Kawneer right after graduating from Michigan State. The people I have had the chance to work with, the customers, and the opportunity to take on more responsibilities, are [another] area. It's also been really important to me to be a leader in our own organization. I have worked with and for very strong leaders and I have learned a lot from them. We are part of a group that, from a product standpoint, has continually tried to raise the bar as it relates to quality and performance and how they impact the environment."
"Bob is a respected leader both internally and externally and has had a tremendous impact on the growth and development of the Kawneer brand in the marketplace. We thank him for his countless contributions to the company," said Diana Perreiah, Vice President, Alcoa Building and Construction Systems and General Manager, Kawneer North America.
Colin Brosmer, currently Director of Front End Services, will fill Bob's position. Colin joined Alcoa in 2001 as a Welding Engineer for Alcoa Automotive and was named Manufacturing Project Manager for Kawneer in 2006. He obtained his Bachelor of Science in Welding Engineering at The Ohio State University. Prior to his current role, Colin served as Kawneer Regional Sales Manager, Central Canada and Commercial Business Manager for Curtain Wall.
"Colin has demonstrated growth, responsibility, leadership and a commitment to both Alcoa and Kawneer ideals during his tenure with the company," continued Diana. "Colin has been working with Bob to ensure a smooth transition for both our customers and the sales organization."
We all wish Bob the best of luck with his future endeavors and welcome Colin into his new role.

Inclusion as a Strategy for Excellence in the School of Medicine is the recognition that the institution's success is dependent on how well it values, engages, and includes diverse faculty, staff, students, patients, and suppliers. More than a short-term project or a narrow initiative, this comprehensive approach requires a fundamental transformation of the School's culture by embedding and practicing inclusion in every effort, aspect, and level of the institution. The goal is to make inclusion a norm that is implemented and practiced.
• Inclusiveness and Excellence are interdependent, as opposed to the traditional perspective that separates the two concepts. To practice inclusiveness is a demonstration of excellence.
• Shifts the responsibility for diversity and inclusiveness to everyone (administrators, faculty, staff, researchers, and students) within the School as opposed to one unit or department shouldering the responsibility for diversity. A department or person can guide the process, but every individual with the School, from the Dean to individual employees assumes responsibility for change.
• Shifts the School away from conceptualizing diversity solely as a numerical goal (numbers only) of diverse faculty, employees, vendors, and applicants to transforming the institution into a vibrant community that embeds diversity Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan throughout the institution in multiple areas including (but not limited to): demographics (numbers), policies, research, financial resources, leadership, hiring, organizational learning, organizational structure, marketing, outreach, technology, performance management, communications, promotion, assessment, and evaluation.
• Employs a broad and inclusive definition of diversity that includes disability, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability, race/ ethnicity, nationality, and other t social dimensions that are important for the School and academic medicine.

Everyday Sociology Blog: The College Admissions Scandal: Can We Be Honest about Social Class in America?
The College Admissions Scandal: Can We Be Honest about Social Class in America?
I'm teaching a Social Stratification course this semester. One of the themes in our course is whether social class is an ascribed or achieved status. The popular conception is that social class in America is earned and accomplished and therefore an achieved status.
Sociologists beg to differ, because to say that social class is primarily an achieved status ignores the advantages given to the children of those who are better off in society. We can't disregard the basic fact that children inherit the social class of their family. In other words, social class is ascribed in that it's an involuntary status for the child who is raised in the social class surroundings of their family.
This is not to say that a person born into the middle-class is guaranteed to stay middle-class throughout their life, or that the child born into a rich family will surely reproduce their family's social class position, or that being poor in one's childhood inevitably means one will stay poor. No doubt there is movement up and down the social class system in the United States.
We are drawn to stories of people who come from humble origins and become rich based on their talent, effort, and accomplishments. For example, Howard Schultz has been celebrated as someone who "went from the projects to building a $3 billion fortune" for the wealth he amassed when he was the CEO of Starbucks (now considering joining the 2020 presidential race, Schultz raised many an eyebrow when he suggested the use of the term "people of means" rather than the word "billionaire").
Talent, effort, and ability matter, of course, but let's be honest about the significance of social class, background, and circumstances. Sociologist Jessica Calarco effectively drives this point home when she discusses research about the marshmallow test. Being affluent is a buffer against one's ability or inability to delay gratification. The well-off kid who is willing to wait fifteen minutes before eating a marshmallow in order to get a second marshmallow does so with a background of food security. The child from a low-income background might eat the first marshmallow because they don't have the comfort of knowing that food is always available.
In other words, it's easier to delay gratification knowing there's plenty of food in the fridge. Ability to delay gratification is not the key factor shaping long-term success. As Calarco says, what's more crucial to long-term success is one's social and economic background. Like she says, self-control is not sufficient to overcome economic and social disadvantages.
College is often touted as a way to improve your social class position. A widely accepted formula for achieving success is a straightforward one: get good grades in high school, go to college, work hard, and that will translate into making a good living. But the college experience is not the same for everyone.
One student gets to focus on their schoolwork while another works two jobs and is too tired to keep up with school responsibilities. One student smoothly completes their graduation requirements on time while another has to drop out due to family and work responsibilities and re-enroll at a less stressful time. One student finishes school debt free while another is saddled with enormous debt. One student comes from a family that can help them navigate college, while another is the first student in their family to go to college and whose family can't help them figure out the system and might not understand the time commitment required to thrive in college. As Karen Sternheimer explains, college can be an alienating place for low-income students and first-generation college students.
You get to a certain point in life when you understand that life isn't fair. You know that one segment of society gains advantage by going to a well-funded public high school or a private high school with superior amenities. You know that tutors exist that help students get good scores on entrance exams to college. You might be willing to accept a certain amount of unfairness or at least come to grips with it. But once in a while you get a peek behind the curtain of inequality.
And when you see a blatant example of rich people cheating the education system, you would understandably be outraged. Students who are grinding it out and working one or more jobs while taking a course load of 15-18 credits would feel slapped in the face to learn that some of their peers made it into prestigious schools through bribery and fraud. In what's been termed the "college admissions scandal," parents used their wealth to secure admission to UCLA, Yale, Georgetown, and other high status institutions.
In one example noted by The Chronicle of Higher Education, the person who was head coach of the women's soccer team at Yale University designated an applicant as a recruit for the soccer team. The catch? The applicant didn't play competitive soccer. After the applicant got into Yale, the coach was given a $400,000 check.
According to a CNN report, 50 people have been charged in the investigation, 33 of whom are parents of students. At a press conference, U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling gave details about what he described as "the largest college admissions scam ever prosecuted by the Department of Justice." Striking a scolding tone (which, I have to say, I appreciated), he said, "This case is about the widening corruption of elite college admissions through the steady application of wealth combined with fraud. There can be no separate college admissions system for the wealthy, and I'll add, there will not be a separate criminal justice system either."
Something about the game of getting ahead is fundamentally unfair...In the system being gamed for a few students, who loses are the students who believe that the system is fair...Wealthy students have historically almost always been able to buy themselves into elite higher education, and because of that, we believe that that higher education system works for all of us. It is the veneer of fairness that legitimizes what is fundamentally a game that is not only rigged, but that can be rigged.
During the segment, writer Anand Giridharadas analyzed the scandal as a case of rich people not being satisfied with a system that already gives them great advantage. In his view, it's a group of rich people who want even more special advantages beyond all the advantages provided to rich people in general.
But the true tragedy is that almost all rich families buy their kids into elite colleges by purchasing advantages they pass off as talents, whether by way of sailing lessons or elaborate vacations planned with an eye on admissions essays. We view these vastly overrepresented children of the rich as having earned their spots. And that's the great American delusion we call "meritocracy."….
This is the real scandal. The 1 percent - more than 1 million American households - have more and more money, and they're using huge sums so their children can get a leg up on the rest. Those students escape questions about whether they deserve to be there, unlike people who benefit from programs like affirmative action, which could help moderate those advantages. Instead of thinking about this as a problem inherent in the system, we call it the virtue of meritocracy.
Years ago on this blog, I wrote a post entitled "Hard Work Has Its Limits." The point of the piece is that a strong work ethic only goes so far. We have to take into account the structure of opportunities available to people. And, as this college admissions scandal shows us, those who are affluent are advantaged with enormous resources and play by a different set of rules.
In my Social Stratification class, I've said to my students that I wouldn't advise them not to work hard. By all means, work as hard as you can in pursuit of your goals. The same goes for messages to my children: my wife and I encourage them to work hard in school, and we will coach them to work hard throughout life. Of course hard work matters. But let's not pretend that hard work is all it takes to compete in a contest. After all, how far can your hard work take you when your competitor rigs the outcome?

Q: Why can't I interrupt IO operations on linux? I tried to abort mkfs.ntfs applied on USB drive (forgot the Quck format flag) and then another big disk IO operation (using dd). They both took more than several minutes to abort, so I just rebooted, because it was much faster to do than to convince the OS I really want to cancel and don't care about the media state.
Why is it the case on Linux, why does kill -9  doesn't abort the operation instantaneously or rather fast enough for a human being (something around a pair of seconds at most)?
A pair of seconds is nearly an eternity for a computer to stop a DMA, why does it take so long and do you know if I can tweak some setting to make it faster?
Edit:
This happens on any Kernel in the last 10 years I use Linux. I always hoped the situation would improve but it didn't. The last try yesterday the Kernel had version 4.17. I am using Arch Linux.

This Day in Pop: Britney Spears releases 'Hold It Against Me' single in 2011 (January 10)
PokemonSpears posted a topic in Britney Spears
On January 10, 2011, Britney Spears released Hold It Against Me, the lead single off her seventh studio album Femme Fatale. It was wrote and produced by Max Martin and Dr. Luke, with additional writing by Bonnie McKee. The EDM track with dubstep elements, was originally offered to Katy Perry, but the producers didn't think it really suited her. The song debuted at #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming her fourth song to achieve this. With this, Britney Spears became the second artist in Billboard's history to debut at #1 with more than one song, and to do so with a second consecutive single (her previous single 3 also debuted at #1 in 2009), both records behind Mariah Carey. She also became the seventh artist to top the chart in three consecutive decades. It was also #1 in Canada, Denmark, Finland and New Zealand. It also topped the US Dance Club Songs, Dance/Mix Show Airplay and Digital Song Sales charts. The song was made available a day prior to the original release date, following a tweet A demo by Bonie McKee had been leaked on January 06 However, the song wouldn't be performed live until March 25 at Rain Nightclub in the Palms Casino resort in Las Vegas. Here's the rehearsal, btw Then she performed for the first time ever at Good Morning America on March 27, though it aired on March 29. She also performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the same day. Hold It Against Me was also the opening song from her Femme Fatale Tour later that year. She hasn't performed the song again ever since the tour ended in late 2011. A music video was released in February, directed by Jonas Åkerlund and choreographed by Brian Friedman, following the modest amount of 14 teasers but we'll celebrate that anniversary later. It's worth mentioning, after the song was released, the pop/country duo The Bellamy Brothers complained about the song being too similar to their 1979 single If I Said You Have a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me. Max Martin, Dr. Luke and Bonnie McKee sued them for defamation and libel, but the case was dismissed after the duo apologized. In 2013 Bonnie explained in an interview for Hollywood Reporter how the song came about:

This Day in Pop: Criminal music video premieres in 2011 (October 17)
On October 17, 2011, Britney Spears released the Criminal music video, the last single off Femme Fatale. It was directed by Chris Mars Piliero, who had previously directed I Wanna Go. The video was shot in the streets of London, right before she started the European leg of her Femme Fatale Tour. She said in an interview for AOL "I've never shot on location out of the country of America for a video. So, it should be very interesting. It was partly my idea ... to see if it could to happen, and they were like, 'Yeah, it's a great idea,' so we did it." A few days before the production began, the details of the video leaked, as wells as the people they were casting for a role in the video which included "hot girls" for the fiance to be with at the party, a "chubby grocery store clerk", "male cop", "Chief of police" and a Britney body double. Jason Trawick, Britney's boyfriend at the time, was also in the video. According to Chris Mars, casting Jason for the video was Britney's idea, and he also revealed that he was hesitant about it, since he considered that a real actor would do a better job. He told USA Today: "When you're doing nudity, I don't think it was at the top of Britney's list to bring in some random guy while her boyfriend watches. [...] We definitely wanted to make some passionate, steamy scenes, but we also wanted it to be intensely beautiful. We didn't want to go for raunchy. We wanted it to be sensual and steamy." After images of Britney holding a gun replica during the filming of the video surfaced, a lot of controversy sparked in London for "promoting gun violence" after the riots that had occurred in England earlier that year. They wanted Britney to apologize for the video, but instead her team released a statement saying that "the video is a fantasy story featuring Britney's boyfriend, Jason Trawick, which literally plays out the lyrics of a song written three years before the riots ever happened." Chris Mars commented about the controversy "Holding the gun became a controversial thing 'cause we filmed it in London, and they don't have a lot of gun use out there. That doesn't mean that there's no gun use, so I did find it really interesting. For me, the thing is, it blew me away that members of [the British] Parliament were speaking about this. One, because it's a music video, and two, because don't you guys have television shows out there that show crime? It's really strange to me. I don't understand why pop stars are put on such a high pedestal over other celebrities. Why do members of Parliament feel that they need to scrutinize her for having a gun, and 'She's in the public,' and 'She should know better,' and 'She's a role model,' but what about every other celebrity out there? What about every other actor? That's very strange to me. I was really surprised at how much the gun use was scrutinized. Jason plays a professional criminal, so it makes sense he has a gun. We shouldn't censor ourselves." The video received mostly positive reviews, some finding the scenes of physical abuse surprising and her acting a bit stiff, but she also received comments such as "We can't honestly remember the last time Britney Spears looked so gorgeous in a music video" and deemed it as the best video from Femme Fatale." Upon its release, the video was flagged on YouTube, and only registered people above 18 years old were able to watch it. This hugely affected its performance in views compared to the previous Femme Fatale videos, which had been rapidly become the most watched videos on her channel. It wasn't until 2013 that the flag was removed, and it started to slowly get more and more views. Around 2016, it gained more popularity as a lot of fanfic videos of Harley Quinn and the Joker from the film Suicide Squad featured the song, and in recent years it went viral again due to a Tik Tok challenge. The video hit 100 million views in March 2019.

This Day in Pop: Britney Spears releases Criminal single in 2011 (September 30)
On September 30, 2011, Britney Spears released Criminal, the fourth and final single off her seventh studio album Femme Fatale. Produced by Max Martin and Shellback, it was written by them in 2008 with additional writing by Tiffany Amber. Britney told MTV News that after she first listened to the song, she felt it was different and unlike anything she had heard before. The version of the single, Criminal (Radio Mix) differs from the album version and it was later included on B in the Mix: The Remixes Vol. 2. It was the first single released under RCA after it absorbed Jive Records. It has never been performed live. On August 5, 2011, Britney posted on her Facebook a poll to select Femme Fatale's next single. The other options besides Criminal were Inside Out and (Drop Dead) Beautiful. It peaked at #55 on the BH100 but it reached #19 on the Mainstream Top 40 chart. It went #1 in Brazil and it was Top 20 in many other countries, such as Poland, France and Spain. The music video was released the following month, but we'll celebrate that later ;) In December 2011, an EP of remixes was released:
This Day in Pop: Britney releases the music video for I Wanna Go (Desi Hits! Remix) ft. Sonu Nigam in 2011 (July 26)
On July 26, 2011, Britney Spears released the official music video for I Wanna Go (Desi Hits! Remix) which featured vocals from Indian singer Sonu Nigam. The video itself is just a shortened version of the standard song's video (it misses most of the intro), without any new scenes, which might be why it's overlooked by most fans. The main difference being just the Bollywood style of the song and the new vocals provided by Sonu. At the time, Britney posted on Facebook about the collaboration: And Sonu told Times of India: Earlier in June, another official remix of the single by DJ Frank E & Alex Dreamz had also received the video treatment. This one does scramble the scenes from the original video, and adds a warm filter to give it a different vibe. This video however, wasn't uploaded to her official YouTube account.

britneyspears Let talk about Britney's stage performances and music
puresin_rg posted a topic in Britney Spears
I have been noticing this about Britney since a very long time.Even though I became a Britney Stan in 2018 after knowing about her and her life struggles.I followed her career and her eras since very beginning! Britney literally nailed every performance she had till 2004.Before her knee injury. Then came blackout era where Britney was a little messy and a little slutty but she still had it.Remember M&M's tour?! Even after her breakdown,The circus era too had some great performances. Britneys performances had changed during femme fatale era completely.She wasn't there at all.I feel something odd about that era.Even during Britney jean era she wasn't giving her full potential. But then she got back during 2015-16 around glory era.Then again in 2018 her performances were completely messy.Her moves weren't complete. Britney said in an interview that she wanted glory to be her baby.And we all know Britney didn't had control over femme fatale album and Britney jean album. So is it because she gets drugged and her performances get bad or is it that when she's releasing her own music she's super excited about it and thought glory was her last chance and we failed her?? Im saying that about glory since Britney didn't perform the same at all after glory era and even Jayden said Britney might quit music :((( what do you guys think?? Will Britney ever comeback or will she become a legacy artist..?

social Occurance and symbolism of Britney being in an *actual* cage
summer2summer posted a topic in Britney Spears
This isn't a *conspiracy* theory thread so to speak. But i was watching some old and new videos and couldn't get past the weird and twisted fact of Britney being in an ACTUAL cage in her own work and imagery ever since 2007. Here's the list of the occurances and feel free to add more in the thread: 1.Piece of me tour : right after circus , she's in the cage dancing ( piece of me song) ...with "handlers" around her. In the middle of the song she gets out or the door is open but is shut again. ( so f**king strange and odd) 2. In the opening video of the femme fatale tour she's being sought after and is captured. After hold it against me ....up n down comes on and she's ...AGAIN behind BARS. Now the good thing after both those instances she does get out before the performances finish. 3. In a very recent event as we all know. In the original make me music video ...well , again she's in a cage. And is painted red oddly so. I don't know if this is looking at something "too deep" or whatever. But i just couldn't look at those instances or performances the same way after this year . I mean in a weird , horrible and twisted mind it's so happened to be that she actually is in a way living in a cage since 2007/08 . And the cage theme came up right after. Can you guys think of any other ones? Even slightly similar?

music Britney's favorite song on Femme Fatale was a song that wasn't even on the album
Pfefferminz posted a topic in Britney Spears
Oh, Brinny! As displayed in a number of song teases and even first single "Hold It Against Me," Femme Fatale certainly has an emphasis on club bangers. And Spears reveals in the V Magazine chat which tune off the album she's most looking forward to having fans hear. "I really love 'On the Rocks' because it sounds so different from anything I have ever heard," she explains. "It's so cool and quirky." So, what happened to "On the Rocks"? Is it a hidden track on the album?

25 years ago, a hugely ambitious puzzle platformer changed gaming forever
In the eyes of some people, video games are mindless distractions at best.
This is, of course, BS. And while the question of whether games are art is painfully exhausting these days, few even thought of bringing it up in the PS1 era. But even then there were games whose existence is such an emphatic "yes!" used to be. that they made even asking the question seem silly.
"This is Rupture Farms"
Although the setting is pure fantasy, the world of Abe's Oddysee is just a lick of paint away from ours. Junk food factory Rupture Farms, where the game begins, resembles a hulking oil refinery: a mass of steel pipes twists beneath chimneys, spewing smoke continuously. It's run by a gang of Glukkons, cigar-chewing executives straight out of a corny political cartoon.
Our hero is Abe, a Mudokon who works at Rupture Farms along with seemingly his entire species. As he explains in the intro video to Abe's Oddysee, he's basically a slave like the rest of the "workers" out there, but given the blurry line between labor and servitude, there's a touch of pride when he explains that he was once employee of the year. Abe even muses on the deliciousness of his favorite snack products from Rupture Farms, despite the fact that they are manufactured with the endangered species of his planet. There's a touch of sadness in his voice as he mourns the discontinued Meech Munchies, not because the Meeches were hunted to extinction, but because he's missing his very favorite munchies.
The introduction to Abe's Oddysee sets the tone for the grim adventure to come.
Abe is the perfect audience stand-in, caught in a post-capitalist dystopia. He knows he has a terrible job. He knows that his bosses are destroying the planet he stands on. But he doesn't know if he can do anything about it yet, so he just enjoys the few pleasures he can. Then he discovers the name of a new product from Rupture Farms called Mudokon Pops. The main ingredient? You guessed it. The whole kind of Abe. ("It was us!").
That's when Abe's Oddysee gives you the controls and your first task is to escape Rupture Farms with your life. Over the course of the game, you and Abe discover that some Mudokons have escaped from the clutches of Rupture Farms to keep their culture alive. As it turns out, the animals currently being turned into snack cakes have deeper ties to the Mudokons than Abe ever imagined, and they may hold the key to dismantling the oligarchy once and for all.
Throwing rocks
Oddworld came to life in the late '90s at a time when criticisms of consumerism and capitalism were making their way into the mainstream media.
fight club and Office space were released two years later Abe's Oddysee. Similar The Matrix, which went in the same direction of turning the real horrors of capitalism into sci-fi villains so that even people who aren't receptive to the message could get on board. even the road The Matrix shows the nightmarish "real world" is quite similar to the smog-burping metal hellscape of Rupture Farms.
At that time, however, the revolution was just hitting the video games field. While Final Fantasy VII let's play as a group of anti-capitalist eco-terrorists and precipitation epitomized a large-scale social critique, 1997's biggest titles tended to be pleasant escapist dishes such as Super Mario 64. The idea of a mainstream video game with a political stance was something most players didn't want to take seriously. Despite, FF7, precipitationand Abe's Oddysee were among the highest-rated games of the year according to Metacritic.
The strong, subversive story of Abe's Oddysee was partly responsible for that praise, but it's not the only reason it stood out. Critics at the time were fascinated by the graphics and art style, which today are still a creative achievement even as they age. Likewise, the gameplay feels clunky by today's standards, but remains as captivating as it is unique.
Oddworld's environmental message stood out in 1997 and is still remarkable today. Oddworld Inhabitants
Back in 1997, most platform games were side scrollers, allowing you to run through levels as one continuous screen as in Super Mario Bros. On the other hand, Abe's Oddysee is a single screen platformer where each screen is its own mini-level that must be defeated before moving on to the next.
The very first screen of Abe's Oddysee contains a secret: your POV stays at a fixed angle and distance, and from your perspective there is a little machine blocking a patch of ground out of sight. If you stop right on the edge and crouch just as Abe disappears from view, you'll discover a drop in a hidden part of the level with its own puzzle to solve. How would you know it's there on the first run through the game? You wouldn't. Only by scouring every screen for details like this can you be sure you're seeing 100 percent of Abe's Oddysee.
Finding those secrets isn't just about being a completeist. The story of Abe's Oddysee is that of Abe taking down Rupture Farms, but your real goal is to save the rest of the Mudokons. As you run and jump through the factory's OSHA-violating meat grinders and laser grates, Mudokon slaves continue to work. Armed guards stop them from escaping, but you can free them! And only if you save at least half of it will Abe fully triumph in the ending cutscene. It's a quirky gameplay that encourages exploration, but it's also a major theme of Abe's Oddysee: You can fight the man all you want, but only solidarity with your colleagues can really beat him.
More real than real
While Abe's Oddysee ridden with the rising tide of consumer criticism, it was also part of a wave of relatively advanced AI in games. Some games were and are content to give NPCs set patterns to follow, but in the late '90s, games were all about building more realistic AI, like the virtual pet sim. creatures. The Oddworld games used AI to make their worlds more alive and build a stronger bond between you and the characters on the screen.
To get your fellow Mudokons to safety, you had to summon them and direct them to either "Follow me!" or wait!" with different phrases assigned to different buttons. There was even an injunction to fart, which only served to make Abe and other Mudokons laugh. Developer Oddworld Inhabitants called this system Gamespeak, and although it was quite simple, it was incredibly effective.
Oddworld is still there, but the magic of Abe's Oddysee is difficult to recapture. Oddworld Inhabitants
Admittedly, I was an impressionable 10-year-old at the time, but I was elated every time I freed a Mudokon and felt my stomach drop if I accidentally led one to their demise. The moment I finally beat Abe's Oddysee after freeing all 99 Mudokons (the dutiful child I was) is forever etched in my memory, even more than most events in my actual human life.
The Oddworld series was intended to be a five-part saga, which now seems extremely unlikely. While the games have remained solid, the sequels just haven't captured the same magic at the right time and in the right place Abe's Oddysee.
My 10-year-old self would be crushed to learn that Abe's adventures didn't last forever and Oddworld didn't become the hottest series in the world. Maybe it's better this way, with Abe's Oddysee remain a one-of-a-kind masterpiece rather than have his vision crushed and extruded like so many poor Meeches. However, I will remain forever grateful for the first video game to teach me that the medium – and the world – can be so much better, but only if we try.

People are using Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime in very different ways
Netflix is the streaming leader in original series like "Glow."
Media are best understood as a competition for attention on internet-connected screens. Phones, tablets, laptops, monitors, TVs—it's all just glass.
By Ashley Rodriguez
Published January 18, 2018 This article is more than 2 years old.
Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime may be competitors, but they serve their audiences in very different ways.
People use Netflix most often to watch original series, Amazon to watch movies, and Hulu to watch TV shows from other networks, a report from Hub Entertainment Research shows. The firm surveyed nearly 1,800 US consumers who watched at least 5 hours of TV per week during the month of December about their entertainment consumption.
Netflix has been outspending its rivals to load up on original TV shows and movies, which will soon fill half of its library. The strategy appears to be paying off, as original shows are what people are watching the most. About 37% of the time audiences spend watching Netflix is spent watching original series from the service, according to Hub's survey.
Streaming-video rival Hulu built up a robust repository of popular TV shows licensed from other networks, including series from its parent companies Disney, NBC, Fox, and Turner, which is why more than half of the time spent watching Hulu—54%—is spent watching non-original series.
Amazon, meanwhile, dominates in movies; 39% of time spent watching Amazon Prime is spent watching movies, Hub found. The e-commerce giant built its video platform on movie and TV rentals and purchases first, and has a solid selection in its subscription-service, Amazon Prime, as well, including acclaimed titles like Manchester by the Sea and The Big Sick.
In age of the "peak TV," TV shows have become the dominant form of entertainment among Hub survey respondents overall. But that picture changes when you look at the 18-24 year olds polled. That cohort spent more time gaming and watching online videos on sites like YouTube and Facebook than they did watching TV shows through traditional channels or platforms like Netflix. Subscription-video services may soon face more competition from these other forms of entertainment than each other.

KenyaCentral Highlands & LaikipiaHistory
Central Highlands & Laiki… in detail
The first wazungu (white) settlers arrived in the Central Highlands in the 19th century. At the height of white settlement, as many as 10,000 settlers lived here; many were granted 999-year leases over the land. It mattered little to the colonial authorities, of course, that Africans, especially the Kikuyu, were here before them: from as early as the 1880s, the authorities displaced the Kikuyu from their homes to make way for white agriculture and the Mombasa–Uganda railway.
It was perhaps no surprise that, having borne the brunt of colonialism's abuses, the Kikuyu shouldered much of the burden of nationalism's struggle and formed the core of the Mau Mau rebellion in the 1950s. That struggle was largely fought in highland valleys, and the abuses of the anti-insurgency campaign were largely felt by highland civilians. The movement, combined with the general dismantling of the British Empire, forced colonial authorities to reassess their position and eventually abandon Kenya.
It was a Kikuyu, Jomo Kenyatta, who assumed the presidency of the new country, and the Kikuyu who assumed control over the nation's economy. They also reclaimed their rich fields in the Central Highlands, although many wazungu farmers remain, and their huge plots can be seen stretching all along the highways between Timau, Meru and Nanyuki.
The Nine-Month Coup
During the colonial period, the appointed leaders of tribal Africa were headmen and, by and large, men they were (and, usually, remain). But there's one exception from the history books.
These are the facts as we know them: Wangu wa Makeri was a Kikuyu, born in the second half of the 19th century. In 1901 she was appointed head'man' of Weithaga, thereby becoming the only female ruler in colonial Kenya. Wangu made a point of literally using men as furniture, discarding traditional Kikuyu stools for the backs of Kikuyu males. Perhaps unsurprisingly, stories suggest her rule was warmly approved of by Kikuyu women.
And so the wily (and, more pertinently, fertile) men of the Kikuyu tribe hatched one of the most unique coup plots in history (disclaimer: we are now leaving the realm of history and entering the space of tribal folklore). They all did their husbandly duty and impregnated their wives, including Wangu, more or less simultaneously. This ensured that in nine months, the chief and her supporters were either in labour, nursing or too heavily pregnant to prevent the re-ascendancy of male Kikuyu-dom.

HIHORSE'd could be coming to a city near you.
Looks like Young Thug is aiming to continue his reign over 2016. The Atlanta MC just announced that he and special guest 21 Savage are headed on the road for the HIHORSE'd U.S. tour.
The tour, which is set to kick off Nov. 9 in Baltimore, Md., seems to coincide with the title of of Thugger's highly-anticipated, full-length album Hy!£UN35. No word on the exact date his LP will drop, but we're looking forward to some memorable moments from him and the Savage Mode musician on stage. The two have collaborated in the past on Ralo's "Flexing On Purpose" and Bankroll Mafia's "I Want Her."
The tour will hit 20 stops, ending Dec. 18 at Terminal 5 in NYC. Tickets should go on sale soon, so cop them while you can, when you can. More information can be found here. Check out the full list of tour dates below.

Q: Make a form_for select field searchable? I have a simple dropdown (i.e. .select field) in a form_for, like so:
<%= f.label :time_zone %> (booking times displayed in your timezone)

<%= f.select :time_zone, time_zone_options, {include_blank: true}, class: "form-control" %>

Which results in:

How can I make it possible for the user to start keying in their city to make it narrow down the values in the field (rather than have to look through the list for their city)
e.g. If the user types "S" (or "s") it should narrow the options to just those starting with "s", if the user types "Syd" then the only option remaining should be "Sydney" etc.
How can I make that in rails?


This is the most common misconception that prevents people from coming to a yoga class. Yoga is not about how flexible you are. It is about stretching your body and spine in all directions. All that matters is that you try the right way, go to your personal "edge", and you will get 100% of the benefit!
No matter what your level of fitness, you will find a Bikram Yoga class very challenging. The postures combine flexibility, strength, and balance to work your whole body from your bones to your skin. With persistence, patience, and dedication, you can lose inches and develop muscle tone and strength that might never come from other forms of exercise.
There are unlimited benefits to Bikram yoga. It can reduce stress, increase blood circulation, and improve strength and flexibility. Regular practice (at least three times per week) can reduce the symptoms of many chronic diseases (e.g, arthritis and thyroid disorders). It also promotes relaxation and stress reduction.
The room is intentionally heated (approx. 105ºF & 40% humidity) to warm your muscles and allow you to work deeper and yet safer. The heat heals and helps prevent injuries. It promotes sweating, flushing toxins from your body and it increases heart rate, providing more of a cardio vascular workout.
Why are all levels of students in the same room?
This class is very simple yet very challenging. All levels of practice benefit. As long as you try the right way and do the best you can, you will receive 100% of the benefits. The only person you should compare yourself to is yourself – we all come here to improve ourselves. It is an amazing journey!
Usually the problem is that we do not drink enough water. We need 64-80 ounces of water a day to help the body function properly. In the heated yoga room, your body needs an adequate fund of water to allow perspiration to release heat from the body as you practice. So we estimate you need another 64-80 ounces (sometime during the day) to allow for your 90 minutes in the room. Once you are drinking enough water, your body will tolerate the heat better and you will actually enjoy the heat. Also, it is important to give your body proper nutrition. Be sure you are getting enough electrolytes and minerals; you can try taking a supplement to see if that helps.
We recommend that you attend class at least 3 times a week to receive maximum benefits of the series. The more you come, the quicker you will progress and see the changes in your body. However, any yoga is better than no yoga, so try your best to come as much as you can within the limitations of your schedule.
I'm pregnant. Can I come to class?
If you have been practicing Bikram Yoga regularly (minimum 3 times per week) for at least 6 months and become pregnant, it is generally fine to continue coming to class throughout your pregnancy. (Everyone is different, you must listen to your body and consult with your physician.) Please let the instructors know you are pregnant as some modifications must be made. We sell Rajashree's Pregnancy Yoga DVD at the studio – this may be helpful to learn the modifications.
If you didn't find your question here, or on the first class page, then please contact our yoga advisor. She is here to answer your questions and help you get started.
All classes are performed in a hot room.
Beginners welcome in all classes.
No need to pre-register. Just show up to class 20 minutes early for your first class.
You need a mat, a towel, and water. Water refills are available, please bring a bottle. Mats and towels available for rent.
