Hello everyone and welcome to Blackstar Potential. My name is Lee Fuge and I'm here with MGRmusic.com and today we're going to learn five signature techniques from five classic players. The amp I'm using for the video today is the Blackstar HT20 Mark II. We're going to dial in a couple of different sounds to complement each of the signature techniques so as we go through we'll talk about what we're doing to create those kind of tones. For the first couple of signature techniques I need some single call pickups so I'm using my Schergold Masquerader. The first signature technique we're going to look at is some Stevie Ray Vaughan style Rhythmic Rakes. So this is a great way to give all your 12 bar blue progressions some real cool Texas shuffle. It's a really fun technique to play where we're adding a percussive upward rake across the strings between specific notes that we're playing. To create the tone I'm using the overdrive channel of the amp on a very low gain setting with the ISF all the way to the American side. I've got the bass set to 6, the mid set to 7 and the treble set to 9. I'm also going to be using the neck pickup of the guitar. So there are two main aspects to the Stevie Ray Vaughan raking technique.  So let's first of all look at the fretting hand part. So with the fretting hand I'm playing a riff. Each one of these notes falls on the beat and this is a two bar riff. Open, third fret on the low E, then the second and fourth on the A string. So that's the first bar. The second bar starts on the second fret of the D. Then it comes back to the third of the E and then the second and fourth on the A again. Then the other side of this is what the picking hand is doing. The picking hand is doing an upward rake like this. We're going to combine these two things together in a triplet shuffle rhythm and that gives us that Stevie Ray Vaughan vibe. So first of all we need to break this down into triplets. So that means we're going to be counting one and a two and a three and a four and a. Each one of those fretted notes is going to land on one of those beats and that's a two bar riff that we played. So if you're putting this into your twelve bar progression that would replace two full bars of the one chord, which would be the E in this case. So once we've started counting this in triplets then we need to put the two hands together. So like I said the fretted notes are coming on the beat and the upward rake is coming on the A before the next beat. So we're essentially counting one, a two, a three, a four, a one. So on those us we've got the upward rake and on the beats we've got one of the fretted notes. So here's the riff nice and slow so you can see the coordination between the hands. Now when it comes to speeding this up don't worry too much about playing it super super tight because Stevie Ray would often play it with a little bit of a rushed feel. So it doesn't have to be dead on the triplet it can be slightly behind or slightly ahead of the triplet beat to get a nice feel to it. As long as it's got a nice shuffle feel to it you'll be fine with it. So here's the riff at full speed. The second technique we're going to look at is some David Gilmour style multi-step bends. So it's going to be like this. To get the tone for this David Gilmour style example I'm using the clean channel of the amp on the British style voice and I've got the tone control all the way down to get a nice warm rounded sound and I'm also using the neck pickup of the guitar once again. So this technique requires quite a bit of finger strength and it can take a while to build that up so don't worry if you can't nail this big bend straight away because we're actually doing a two tone bend here. We're bending the equivalent of four semitones which is four frets. This technique starts by doing a rake into the 13th fret on the B string.  But here's where the Gilmour signature comes in. We're going to release that bend and without picking it again we're then going to bend it a further tone. So this is the two tone bend so we're targeting the 17th fret. So we're bending this note up to the pitch of this which is our first tone and releasing it back then we're bending it up again to this note. And then we're just landing back on that 10th fret of the B string that's based in the D minor pentatonic but you can do that anywhere on the guitar. So a big part of nailing this technique is training your hearing. So what you want to hear is this but as a bend you want to train your hearing to help you pitch that two tone bend. So what you want to do is play the 17th fret note here and just listen to the pitch of that.  The third technique we're going to look at is the Jimi Hendrix way of breaking up chords. This is a great way to combine aspects of lead and rhythm playing at the same time. To get the tone for this I'm once again using the clean channel of the amp with the British voice selected but now I've got the tone control up to two just to get a little more sparkle. I'm also using a combination of the neck and the middle single call picker. So we're going to do a simple three chord progression but we're going to spice it up in a real Hendrix way. We're going to be using C sharp minor, B and A. Here's how the technique goes and then we'll break it down. So the first thing to note with this Hendrix style technique is the way that we're playing the chords. We're not just playing them as conventional bar chords, we're playing them as triads with our thumb playing the root note. So the first chord is a minor triad in the C sharp minor position. So I'm playing the C sharp note here on the 11th fret of the D string and I'm barring across the ninth fret on the B and G. My thumb is then playing the root note. Then we'll come to the B major chord. We've got the ninth fret on the D which is our root note, the eighth fret on the G and the seventh fret on the B string. Our thumb is also doubling the root note on the seventh fret of the low E. Because this is a major chord shape we can actually transpose this now so when we play the A chord we can just shift the shape down two frets. We're also embellishing these chords with some notes from the C sharp minor pentatonic scale. So here's what we were doing chord by chord. So for the C sharp minor chord we're picking the root note and the octave. Then we're doing a little hammer-on phrase here on the G and then back on that C sharp again. We come to the B chord. We're just picking the root and strumming the triad. Then we're hitting the A chord as a full chord. A little lead fill coming in so we're starting with a double stop on the fifth fret of the B and E strings and we're hammering on to the seven of the B. Then we're playing that double stop on small. That comes straight out of the chord. Then we're shifting down to the second fret of the low E string and we're doing a hammer-on ascending run from the second to the fourth on the E and A strings. Once we hit this C sharp note here we're actually sliding it up to the sixth fret. When we hit this C sharp note here we're actually sliding that up to the sixth fret of the same string. Then hitting the fourth fret of the D. Then we're doing another hammer-on and pull off phrase on the G from the four to the six and back and land on the six of the D. So here's that run nice and slow. On the second repeat the chord progression was exactly the same but we embellished the A chord slightly differently. On the A major chord on the second repeat we're not going to the double stop this time. We're playing the chord and then we're hammering on to the seventh fret of the G with our little finger. This turns the A into an A suspended four then we're playing the A chord once more. Then we've got a short lead run to finish on the G and D strings where we're doing a hammer-on pull off on the G and land in on the sixth fret of the D. So here's the pattern all the way through nice and slow.  So here's that once more at full speed. All right so the fourth technique we're going to look at is some Eddie Van Halen style two-handed tapping so you can lose the pick for this one you don't need it. So for this technique I've dialed in a thick British style rock overdrive. Got the overdrive channel on the amp selected with the gain set to halfway. Got the ISF all the way to the British side, the bass on seven, the mid on eight and the travel on about six. I've also got a very very short one repeat slapback delay coming from a delay pedal on the floor and it sounds like this. That short slapback sound was used a lot on those early Van Halen records. You may have also noticed I've now switched to a humbucker guitar that's because I need a little bit more output for the style. So here's the technique in full and then we'll break it down. So while two-handed tapping may look very difficult it's not actually that hard to do. A great way to think about this is just like we're extending a pull-off. So all our left hand is doing is we're playing the second and fifth fret on the B string. We're doing it as a hammer-on so if we imagine we were just going the tap then acts as a wide pull-off so I'm actually tapping the ninth and tenth frets here I'm doing two bars of the ninth fret and two bars of the tenth fret. So what I'm doing is I'm hammering on like this with my tapping finger but this finger is already in position so when I actually lift the tapping finger it serves as a pull-off back to the two then after I've pulled off back to the two I'm then hammering on the fifth with my little finger and then repeating so I'm viewing this as triplets three per beat one and a two and a three and a four and a so the tap happens on the beat the second fret note happens on the end and the hammer on to the five happens on the ah one and ah so like I said we're doing two bars of that and then we're moving the tapping finger up to the tenth fret and repeating the same phrase. Once you get to grips with this technique and you get the coordination right between the hands you can actually start speeding it up pretty quickly. In terms of how you would use this in your own playing you're actually going to be targeting notes from the scale with your tapping hand so for instance in this example my fretting hand is playing notes from the F sharp minor or A major pentatonic scale so these two notes here are from that scale this note then I'm tapping here this note are both from the A major scale so if you're moving this around to different keys all you would do is target notes from that particular key so here's the tapping like nice and slow so like I said the really important thing there is the coordination between the two hands you've got to do this nice and slow to get those two hands talking to each other and then you can start pushing the speed once you start pushing the speed you can work it up to full speed just like this all right the fifth and final technique we're going to learn in this lesson is a Zach Wildstyle pinched harmonic this is a great way to add some squeal notes to your riffs so now we're going to be using quite a high gain tone I've got the gain up full and the ISF all the way to the bridge side I've got the bass on seven the mid on eight and the treble on nine I'm also using the bridge pickup of the guitar Zach Wild often uses active humbuckers so if you have access to active humbuckers that will get you even closer with these squeals but you can do the same job on passive ones you might just have to dig in a little bit harder so all of this example is based around this riff the pinch harmonics are going to be added at the end of each bar this is a real tricky technique to get used to so it does take a little bit of practice so to get a pinch harmonic you actually need to brush the string with your thumb just after you pick it this is quite a tricky technique to get used to so to get used to doing this technique you want to pick a note so I'm going to use the seventh fret of the D string this is slightly easier to do on the higher strings so what we're going to do is I'm going to pick that note continuously like this you want to hold the pick very very close to the edge so only a slight bit of the pick is protruding past your thumb and as you pick the string you want to brush the thumb against that string just after the pick moves and you get this harmonic sound that harmonic will change depending on where you pick so as you can hear there by moving the pick around I can get some different harmonics out so there's no set rule for exactly where I should apply this technique the technique really comes alive though when you pick it and get the harmonic with the pick in hand and you add a lot of vibrato with the fret in hand once you've gotten used to it on the highest strings then it's time to take it to the lower strings the low E string is a little bit more sensitive to doing pinch harmonics which is why the active humbuckers that Zach Wilde uses in his guitars really will help you want lots of gain for this and don't be afraid of dialing that treble up a little bit just to help the bite so we're adding the pinches on the third and fifth fret at the end of each bar so here's what it's going to be like nice and slow so you notice just as I'm doing those pinches on the third and fifth fret I'm adding a lot of vibrato and I'm actually picking them pretty hard so like I said you really want to dig in with a pick on those pinches and add a lot of vibrato so here's that riff once more at full speed so there you go there are five signature techniques from five classic guitar players you've had some Stevie Revon style rakes some David Gilmour style multi-step bends some Jimi Hendrix style chord breakups then we've had some Eddie Van Halen style tapping and to round up some Zach Wilde style pinch harmonics thank you all so much for watching I hope you've enjoyed this video and I hope you've enjoyed this lesson please let us know down below in the comments what you thought and if you guys have been able to get some good use out of these techniques if there are any other techniques tips or tricks you want us to talk about please let us know please go check out black star amplification on youtube for more free lesson videos just like this and if you're looking for a guitar teacher in your local area please go check out mjomusic.com we've got a network of great teachers all over the UK just waiting to help you guys unlock your full potential thanks so much for watching and we'll see you soon


The span of his prolific work parallels the history of independent India. A gamut of social experiences blended with his own passionate expression as a sensitive seeker, a painter, a sculptor, an architect, a writer, a man of many talents and even greater resolve. Satish Gujral, one of modern India's greatest artists. Born in pre-partition West Punjab in 1925, an accident that injured his leg also left him stone deaf at the tender age of eight. A series of surgeries for his leg further confined him to his bed and turned his early life into a living nightmare. I'm asking the question about my childhood. The answer that filled myself is if I really had a childhood. At 13, Satish got admission to the Mayo School of Arts in Lahore to study applied arts. The multiplicity of training that he was exposed to had a lasting impact on his art and molded him into a painter who also sculpts and builds. There are very few who have been tutored as closely as he has been. I mean, he can draw. Very few people can. I mean, amongst contemporary painters now, I think there are very few who can really draw, who understand drawing the way it should be understood. By early 1947, the freedom struggle had reached its peak. The British Empire finally gave in to the demand for independence and quit India. Though not at anguish, a partition followed. Satish experienced partition at close quarters and those images of brutality and inhumanity left an indelible impression on him. I witnessed killing, murder, rape. I painted the man suffering. And people of those days adopted me as their artist. One of his strongest early periods is the works that were devoted to the pathos, anguish that he as an individual and we as a nation experienced as a result of this division. Satish's partition series drew a lot of critical acclaim and led him to getting a scholarship to study muralism in Mexico. It was with Diego Rivera and Securos, the most well acclaimed mural artists, that Gujral learnt the basics of public art. With his newfound confidence, Gujral returned to India and was commissioned to do a portrait of La La Lajpatrae, a film fighter popularly known as the Lion of Punjab. This brought him to the notice of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India, but also brought a new ray of light into his life. Kiran. After I married him, Kiran became my bridge with life. She interpreted everything that was said. Having lost the reason to frustrate my happiness began. Impelled by a sense of contributing to the growth of the nation, Gujral turned towards public art. This marked the end of his partition phase, catapulting him into a series of mural projects that furthered his preoccupation with architecture and space. At every phase and every stage, the constant need to tamper with success, to not take it as something to be complacent about or to get comfortable in. In the late 1970s, Gujral began to get restless again. Much against advice from all his friends, he decided to open a new vista of creativity and try his hand at architecture. In 1984, Gujral was invited to design the Belgian Embassy in New Delhi. This assignment held enormous challenges that were compounded by an accident on-site that led to another series of leg surgeries and a near amputation. He had that spirit that I've taken on a commitment. I had to see it through. He treated it like a baby. He was fighting against all odds of other people in the profession saying, how can an artist pull off an architectural story? And he did. At this juncture, the Indian economy started to boom and the nation was being shaped by rapid globalization. Indian contemporary art was attracting international attention. The auctioning of Indian art by auction houses gave it a further stamp of international recognition and announced its worldwide arrival. When you see cultures through the window of art, there's a huge binding factor which is the essence of art and civilizations which are bereft of art, they have no fragrance. Satish Gujral, an artist who embodies the quintessential image of artistic struggle, an artist who emerges a winner despite all his handicaps. Social content has permeated his work for years lived through calamities and worked in the face of extreme adversities. No single medium has been able to bind him because, like his spirit, his art flows freely without being restrained by any barriers. Now it's just his joy of living and being alive and if you see his work, it's like you don't think it's an 85-year-old man painting.


Hi, I am Dr. Sushal Shantakumar. I am a consultant shoulder surgeon practicing in Manipal Hospital's Bangalore. Shoulder impingement syndrome are also known as the swimmers' shoulder. This is a condition commonly seen in the anger age group. Commonly affects the dominant shoulder, more common in males than the females. What happens here? This is caused by tendons of the rotator cuff, which become impinged or which become pressed by the bones in the shoulder when they pass through a narrow space called the subacromial space.

Hi everyone, Joe for jaysbyscasebrakes.com, happy Friday, coming at you with a quick little 2019-2020 Mosaic basketball break, a Salo Pack break number 3-5-2 with five mixer spots being given away in the, whatever the current mixer is, a 13 box mixer I think on Jaysbys Case, I think the 13 box playoff bound, a basketball mixer, big thanks all these folks for getting into it, it's the only basketball mixer on the site, and they're the teams right there, as always we're gonna do the break first and then we'll do a different dice roll at the end for the spots. One and a four, five times for each list, one, two, after five times we got Tice, down two, Sean, what's up Andrew, one and a four, five times for the teams, one, two, after five times we got T. Wolves, down two, Warriors.  Danny with the Pelicans though, and Danny with the Grizz, interesting. Could there be a surprise in this Salo Pack? We have seen it happen before, but I don't want to overhype a Salo Pack, but we've seen it happen before. Let's print and rip. It usually depends on whether the player has completed autographing all of their cards, MTG. Sometimes it takes weeks, sometimes it takes years. Alright so there's the quick print out right there, and I'll re-randomize those names in a second after we see what's inside here, and then give away some mixer spots. I think we have to do a couple more Salo Packs, and then still sell a bunch of spots straight up in that mixer, so usually I'm one to say, hey everything's gonna break tonight, but it looks looking like tomorrow for that guy. But I'm here tomorrow too, Saturday. Got King and Ty Jerome. Alright, nothing too earth-shattering there. These pink camos are exclusive to the Salo Pack sets, so we've got Blake Griffin, Will Barton, and Scotty Piffin. Alright, nothing too crazy there, but chance to win mixer spots. That's the whole point of this anyway. Chris, with the Hawks down to Danny and the Wizards, let's get them into this blank list. Let's roll it, let's randomize it. Six and a two, eight times. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eighth and final time. So it's gonna be top five after eight. We got eight right here. A very big thank you to, from six down to 30, we'll get them next time. In fact, there's another pack right now if you want to give it another shot. Feel free if you'd like. No pressure. And congrats to Matthew, Zach, Nick, Sean, and Robert. Congrats to you five right there. You're in the basketball mixer. Thanks for watching. I'm Joe. I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye-bye.

lifeless body of his lovely young wife wildly he found vengeance on the rowdies who had killed her but his friends calmed him and soon he left the camp and went to stay with his brother Jesus in murphy's diggings another mining camp there he was present as his brother made a financial transaction well sure why not two dollars but senor lying you want two americano don't sure it's a good mule you can't get a better one these parts for lesson three very well i would pay thank you one two things well much obliged marietta you got a good bargain i'm not too sure Jesus eh you think i'm lying i did not say that senor i meant only that perhaps the mule is a little old and may not live up to the bargain you think him to be yeah well you be careful of your tongue i'll be going now how are you yeah i'll do a senior why is that Joaquin stop put your gun back in his holster his americanos there are villains all of them why don't you let me kill him oh Joaquin my brother what good would that do you must forget this hatred of americanos they're not all bad see of course you are right Jesus we know from now on we shall try to forget the past and get along with the americanos no but it was only the next day when Joaquin Murrieta borrowed his brother's mule and rode into town as he rode down the main street what is it you want senor lying what are you doing with my mule your mule senor but you know that this is not your mule it belongs to my brother why you're lying you speaking thief you stole my mule hey there man come here if you're dirty mexican stole my mule senor what are you

senor lang you will never again cheat and murder you are the first to die by my hand but you will not be alone soon many others will join you let all americans beware of the vengeance of walkie murrietta back through times long before the days of walkie murrietta go the records of the title insurance and trust company of los angles some of the ranchos the bandit raided had been granted half a century before he launched his war against the americanos and each time one of those ranchos or any part of it changed hands one or more written instruments were executed and filed for records the reason title company records must go back to the very beginning and include every transaction up to the present day is that land titles are somewhat like a chain they're only as strong as their weakest link if any link in the chain of title is defective the entire title may be defective too when you buy property you want to know that you really become its owner to ensure your ownership the company seeks out the public records of every transfer of land ownership from the very first to the most recent determines their authenticity and assembles in its title plant essential data from these and other sources for they will always be available one by one the men who'd been in the lynching party that whipped walkie murrietta were mysteriously murdered terror spread through the camp men were afraid to venture outside the town five men mysteriously disappeared from the mining camp on the stanislaus river the five men who had murdered Joaquin's wife already the fiery young mexican was a hunted man and his only means of living was to add robbery to murder quickly he gathered recruits to a desperate band of mexicans cutthroats renegades murderers all desperate all willing to slit a throat for a piece of gold especially if it was an american throat soon the fame of Joaquin murrietta was spread throughout all california and terror went with his reputation periodically he took his accumulated loot down into mexico and it was on one such journey that he again met his childhood playmate he's good to see you senorita carita you have come back towards Joaquin to stay no i still have much to do before i can come back here and forget Joaquin you go away back to that dangerous life ah you know of course who has not heard of the exploits of the famous Joaquin murrietta then you will know that i am not Joaquin murrietta you once knew and you should think no more of me i cannot what you have done what you do my heart will always be yours i cannot every night i pray to the virgin madre to keep you from danger but your ring the little ring you gave me will do that eh you still wear it Joaquin see of course here it is did you not ask me to wear it see i am happy oh Joaquin if only you would forget everything give up this life settle down here we could do no carita i cannot i have sworn to have vengeance on the americanos i have not done enough yet very well carito if you will not stay here then take me with you take you with me see wherever you go to share the dangers with you you love me that much see and if you do not take me i shall follow anyway always with you my love back to california came murrietta bringing with him another lovely maxif in beauty and now his depredations were resumed with increased fury his band numbered a hundred cutthroats and they ranged in small bands from one end of the state to the other robbing plundering and killing most of their crimes were characterized by extreme modacity for instance as Joaquin was staying at san gabriel he received word that sheriff ben wilson of santa barbara was in los angles boasting that he would capture murrietta at any minute and so one afternoon his wilson stood in front of a los angles hotel sure who's afraid of this murrietta he's got the whole state buffalo except me ben wilson i ain't scared of him all i want is to meet him face to face then you'll see how fast i can cut mr. Joaquin down to my side yeah i don't know sheriff sir murrietta is a tough customer you don't know the meaning of fear if i was you i wouldn't be too cocky about catching him why it'll be easier to tell you your umbrella underneath he's afraid to fight square pardon senor you are sherry ben wilson that's me i have heard that you are looking for me yeah and who might you be i am Joaquin you are what's that holy mackerel get out of here you're walking see so take me if you can so Joaquin will be easy eh senor well you have a long time to think that over eternity weeks stretched into months Joaquin's band countered their murders by the hundreds from one end of the state to the other rewards were offered five thousand dollars here one thousand dollars there for murrietta's head more and more bands of armed men roamed the hills looking for the bandits Joaquin met them on every road usually none of them returned they were wiped out but nevertheless the robber baron found it more and more difficult to get around without a fight some of his most trusted lieutenants were killed or captured and hanged more and more he kept to his faraway hideout in remote arroyo cantuva but even there he wasn't safe for one day a rider came in with the news Joaquin Joaquin what is it jack what is the trouble right it's americano where riding through the lower end of the valley for the past going away see but they were in the valley there's only 14 of them no doubt they realized they wouldn't stand a chance against us but they have seen us they have pounder hideout i don't know i think so and they go to bring others come saddle hombres these americas must not leave this valley alive in a bloody fight the americans were massacred all except one and that one did leave the valley alive and murrietta knew that now even his hideout was unsafe and it was clarita who pleaded with him Joaquin you must give this up please back to our home in mexico you have done enough no not quite i have much money see but my plans have not all been completed please Joaquin for me you must go back now i fear for you one more little dog could do you forget i have the ring here on my finger it shall keep me safe never fear they will never take Joaquin murrietta but even then men were bowing that they would take Joaquin murrietta a company of 20 of the hardiest fighters in the state was organized under the command of captain harry love and soon these men were hot on the trail of Joaquin under the extreme pressure now being brought by the forces of law and order many of Joaquin spies deserted him and betrayed him to the officers he was hunted at every turn still he would not give up he was trying to hold out until his reinforcements from mexico arrived he split up his band into small groups to avoid detection with him the five men including the notorious three-fingered jack the human fiend whose blood thirsty habits disgusted even the robber band but who was too valuable to lose jack was retelling one of his gruesome experiences as the six men had breakfast around a campfire in the to lary valley one day in 1851 Joaquin come and listen to this no gracias i must cutting my horse hi you can do it later come and listen to my little exploit with the china good morning senor what hey who are you how did you get here oh we just saw your campfire and wondered up sort of silent like don't didn't know who we might disturb and who are you senor never mind that the question is who are you just peaceful travelers stopping for breakfast uh where you bound for lots of helens i wouldn't move toward those guns of yours on the blanket senor you see we've got you all covered no i did not want the guns there is a little ring there beside the guns i i thought i'd get that if we have to have company i'd like to look my best never mind your looks don't bother us that you bill oh yeah i uh see you found some fellow travelers yeah that's what they say so we meet again senor see we meet again senor burns oh you know him bill i know i'm all right i saved his life for it but this time it's different this time i can't save you Joaquin Joaquin you know you mean this is him look out he's jumping on that horse get him after a man don't let him get away no get the other you got him he's down Joaquin's wounded yeah let's do it now man be careful all right he hasn't got a gun anyway he's too far gone yeah that's right hey i got the others all right yeah well yeah Joaquin senor burns you see i have come to this yes it was the ring i took your ring off Clarita's ring would have saved me but i took it off well i don't know what you're talking about no it doesn't matter now he's too late i am finished you can be thankful it's this way and not hanging Joaquin why'd you bring this on yourself oh it is all right i have done what i swore to do they have to revenge my wife my brother myself i i can die content adios adios amigo mio adios Joaquin well that's the end of him california is rid of another bandit you'll be too hard on him captain he was wrong but he wasn't entirely to blame he could have been much different if things had been different no man today can hit you over the head with a pistol butt and rob you of your land in the way that the renegade american miners rob Joaquin Murrieta of his mining claim but a defect in your title to your home could deprive you of it just as effectively and unless you were protected by a policy of title insurance you might have no recourse the defect might be a false personation or the hitherto undiscovered forgery of a deed executed in some previous transfer of the property either of such circumstances or any of other circumstances might render your title invalid however if you had obtained a policy of title insurance from the title insurance and trust company protecting you against such defect any loss you might suffer would be repaid promptly up to the full base value of the policy it is because such protection is available that land is today such a sound investment and such a readily marketable commodity in most parts of the united states the cost of this protection is considerably higher than the rates charged by the title insurance and trust company of los angles and now what's the story for next week frank next week is east of sunday it is no more appropriate time to tell you the story of the easter day ranch the rancho san pasquale today the land of san pasquale contains the cities of pasadena altadena and part of south pasadena and its story is a dramatic and colorful one that you want to hear until next week then this is your wandering bachero frank graham saying hasta la vista señoras y señores the romance of the ranchos a presentation of the title insurance and trust company of los angles featuring frank graham as the wandering bachero is dramatized by john dunkel and produced by ted bliss with special music arranged by gay lord carter bob laman speaking and saying good night this is the columbia broadcasting system


I've got four pieces, three of them by me, little pieces. This first one is Nomo, how we came to speak. Nomo is an African god force who created humans, and it didn't work out the first time. So Nomo is, you know, OK, I'll do it again. Like the first ones were like out of clay, and I said, OK, I'll do it again. And the next ones were like woven, and that didn't work out. And so Nomo said, the word, I'll do it out of the word. So this is how we come to speak. Before a generation passed, we children of the third world knew how to take the gift of language, contort it crimson, and sew it to our teeth. How we mangle this tongue that needs unending translation, we require it to be a constantly changing chameleon, a hypnotist, a con man, a cheat. With words we manufacture demons who devour souls and erase memory. Look at how often we honor speech that can make us hate, that can cause us to deny our mothers, our brothers, our self. We have articulated a deadly weapon that subverts knowledge and betrays faith. So how now do we again learn to listen with more than ears, at once try to speak with more than tongue? How now do we put our tongues back in our mouths? This next one has become a necessary mantra of mine. It's by Lucille Clifton. And I really do mean that. It's like, get up in the morning, OK? Won't you celebrate with me? Won't you celebrate with me what I have shaped into a kind of life? I had no model, born in Babylon, both non-white and woman. What did I see to be except myself? I made it up. Here on this bridge between starshine and clay, my one hand holding tight, my other hand. Come, celebrate with me that every day something has tried to kill me and failed. And this is the part of the piece before the computer froze that I wrote for tonight, the other part of the piece you're not going to hear. It will take more than words to stem this tide, not enough to spit on a blazing fire, not enough to use a teacup to empty water from a seeking craft. True, mothers have been able to raise a car off of their compromised child. True, children have walked miles in snow to save their wounded parent. But this is not a time to plan on miracles, to depend on a messianic savior, to lift us out of this hell we have created through apathy or inattention, through greed or selfishness, through privilege or ignorance, that we not slide further back into voter suppression, that we not slide further back into patriarchy and misogyny, that we not use fear instead of reason when faced with religious bigotry, that we not pretend that racial fear is not a major part of this equation, that we understand it is not chicken little screaming about falling skies. It is to admit that taking America back has more to do with white frustration and terror than with going back to a better time, better before unions, better before OSHA protections, better before the environmental agency saved some wetlands, cleaned some rivers, reduced some smog. This is a time for ordinary people to do ordinary things in concert with conviction, to show up, to stand up, to speak out, to demand that we keep moving forward. And this last piece is called SNAP. I have one of my BC friends, that's before children, friends, those of you who have children now, there's very few before children, friends you have.   She reminds me how when we were teens, we were unique rows and then SNAP, we were black and proud. Moving forward, claiming victories every day on our streets, in our schools, in our souls. We've always been an elastic people able to SNAP ourselves time and time again. Kat says she can feel it, smell it in the air, sweet and sour like it was then, only with more love this time and in a sharper, even more dangerous edge. Then, like now, things were seething. People were hungry and unjustly imprisoned and miseducated and drugged. But then, as civil rights long pull was bearing fruit, we SNAPPED into a revolutionary force. Climbed inside our ancestral court, SNAP made our music sing change, SNAP made our dances say now, SNAP locked arms and spirit, SNAP became a dark SNAP. Moving, SNAP tied a purpose, SNAP. We sharpened in the rhythms again, bringing out the drums, SNAP. Tightening up, even though we've been tossed by storm and cracked in the wind, we coming back together, SNAP. We got to SNAP.  I thank you.


This paper reviews the various techniques used to deposit molecularly imprinted polymers, MIPs, onto a substrate for use as sensors. These include mechanical, thermal, and chemical methods. Mechanical methods involve pressing or stamping the MIP into the substrate while thermal methods involve heating the MIP until it adheres to the substrate. Chemical methods involve using solvents to dissolve the MIP and then allowing it to dry onto the substrate. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages and the paper discusses which methods are most suitable for certain applications.
