EG.5 is a descendant of the XBB.1.9.2 variant, with an additional mutation that might be helping it outcompete other strains. Largest among these XBB subvariants are infections grouped as the XBB.1.16, XBB.1.9.1, XBB.2.3, XBB.1.6 or EG.5 strains, which each make up between 10% and 15% of infections nationwide.Įxperts had previously singled out EG.5 as one of the fastest growing lineages worldwide. Instead, the CDC's recent projections estimate that a mix of descendants from the XBB variant that first drove infections last winter are now competing around the country. Unlike previous waves, no single variant has yet emerged this summer to dominate infections nationwide. They cautioned that there were considerable differences between models within the group, with some teams projecting an additional smaller peak elsewhere in the year. Projections have differed over what the coming months will hold.Īn ensemble of academic and federal modelers said last month that the "main period of COVID19 activity is expected to occur in late fall and early winter over the next 2 years, with median peak incidence between November and mid January." has experienced increases in COVID-19 during the past three summers, so it's not surprising to see an uptick," Conley said. In 2021, a sharp increase driven by the Delta variant saw hospitalizations surge by 20,029 more from June to July, reaching 32,850 hospitalized through July 24, 2021.

This medium, particularly in England, was used as a preliminary sketch for many of the landscape paintings and it was the famous painter J.M.W. This subject matter was thought of as beneath for some painters, but the printmaker used the watercolor medium to produce this fine study of light and texture of the rabbit, as well as fine botanical, wildlife and landscape watercolors. His most famous watercolor Young Hare, kept today in Albertina in Vienna and often out on view for the public, is a study of a rabbit. As mentioned above, the travel sketches and the documentation of the new discoveries and the voyages led the watercolor art to become a form of intimate documentation, but it was the printmaker Albrecht Dürer who led the new school of thought and the use of the medium. The increased availability of the paper allowed for the possibility of the drawing as an artistic activity. Image via william One Rabbit and The Vast Landscape Turner - A View of the Archbishop's Palace, Lambeth. The easy cleanup and easy transportations influenced the use of the watercolor medium, but many famous artists used this medium for the creation of their finalized and celebrated works. This form of watercolor art is just one of many that saw this medium rise throughout its history, standing as a painting medium side to side with oil paintings. All of the described documentation and mappings, you guessed it, was done with the use of watercolor. The need to discover and travel was also an important educational element among the elite and aristocratic classes. This saw the rise of the botanical art, as well as the rise in the need for the artists who were able to produce maps and topography paintings. The earliest illustrators carried with themselves the boxes of watercolors and they accompanied the famous explorers, such as Captain Cook, and recorded the wildlife, new terrains, and the new world. Image via / Right: William Blake, The Ancient of Days, 1794. The Sistine Chapel, painted by the master artist Michelangelo, is the most famous example of the early use of watercolors as fine arts. The rise of the watercolor in Europe is seen as a result of the development in Chinese papermaking and the decorative use of watercolor and a century later, European artists were preparing their own watercolor mixes for the fresco wall paintings. This use of the watercolor art is also evident in the works of the Limbourg Brothers and in the production of their most famous illuminated book Les Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, or sometimes called The Book of Hours. The watercolor, seemed a perfect technique to be used for the painting on silk and on paper in China while in the Middle East we do see the use of the fresco technique, but the more dominant use of the watercolor is seen in the production of small manuscripts and in the painting of illustrations. The watercolor medium then moves towards China and the Middle East. It is in the fresco art of the Ancient Romans that we see a certain leap forward, with the more powerful use of color, more of a realistic approach to the subject matter and more delicate and detailed works. The Ancient Greeks used watercolor medium on plaster, known as fresco, to paint their temples, buildings, and sculptures. Early on, we witness the use of the watercolor medium for the paintings of funerary and ritual art found in Ancient Egypt and Greek art. The definition of watercolor is pretty simple it is a type of paint mixed with water and this would include mediums such as gauche, tempera and even fresco techniques. The history of watercolor art is said to go back as far as cave paintings and ancient Egyptians. The earliest forms of paintings were variations of watercolor. Left: Limbourg Brothers - Les Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, February / Right: Limbourg Brothers - Les Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, 1416, The Fall. The watercolor sketches and paintings for many are statements of pure color, and they aid the artist in his exploration of the world around us. The watercolor art technique seems to invite direct and spontaneous response to the subject and no other medium is able to convey the excitement with such speed and use of line. One of the beauties and dominating factors that can explain the existence of watercolor from the beginning of art could be found in the immediacy element that this medium is well known for. The need to express their own view of the world is one of the most important motivations for many artists, and throughout art history, we are introduced to many different techniques and materials used. The extraordinary ability of watercolor to express the effects of shifting light and color has occupied the attention of painters for more than two centuries.

So, I have no problem with the access,” he said. “The positions are supported by tax dollars. “When I worked at NMC (Northwestern Michigan College), Buckley and Charlevoix Schools, my salary was public. The new database is not considered a threat by county administrator Chet Janik, who served previously in education positions that would have put him on the list. The Leelanau Enterprise interviewed a county administrator who said he doesn’t mind efforts to publish such information. The Michigan Civil Service Commission posts them. It’s a throw-everything-at-the-wall argument. The database doesn’t offer any personal information beyond salary and position. Making employees names available puts them at risk.It’s not a transparent way to run government. Yes, you can use the Freedom of Information Act to obtain the information if you know how. True, but public information doesn’t require a noble motivation to access it. It just gives the nosey parkers fodder.She listed some of the common arguments against a database and explained why, despite them, the salaries should remain public. Why? Because the employer of public workers is us, the citizens,” Putnam wrote. “The bottom line is that public salaries should be available in a transparent way. Lansing State Journal columnist Judy Putnam said publishing public employee salaries - something the LSJ once did - may upset some people, but transparency is justified. “This database can provide information on whether there are disparities based on gender, race, ethnicity, etc.,” Jane Briggs-Bunting, founding president of the Coalition for Open Government, was quoted in the Lansing State Journal as saying. While not the first online database of public employee salaries in Michigan, the new database is the most extensive one and makes it easy for people to access public records. We and our partners now offer this database as a service to taxpayers and other watchdogs.” “We use these public records to fact-check claims about salaries, verify data from other open records requests and hold governments accountable for their spending. “As part of our government transparency project, the Mackinac Center often obtains data on the compensation of government employees in Michigan,” Michael Reitz, Mackinac Center executive vice president, was quoted by My Bay City as saying. The new database - which is easily searchable and made available as a public service by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, Michigan Coalition for Open Government and Michigan Press Association - contains salary information of nearly 300,000 public employees. The value of government transparency and the need for more of it has been on full display since the Mackinac Center and two other watchdog groups released the Michigan Government Salaries Database in late March.

Lots of easy chords and strumming and counting practice before learning to pick individual notes. It's a great repertoire book, but unlike the Progressive books, it does not teach notereading.īut my real favorite both for learning to read the treble clef and beginning chords is Alfred "Kids Guitar Course" Books 1.īook One is the simplest book I have found for young kids, because it starts with the "baby" C chord - just the one-finger on fret 1 string 2 chord, and stays with it for a few pages before venturing on to the baby G7 chord. Then those techniques are introduced in the last song, Watermelon on the Vine. Just before the final song is another instructional page called How to Play Slurs. It covers slides, hammer-ons, and pull-offs. There are no eighth notes in the first part of the book. Very simple tunes (such as Railroad Bill, Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Wabash Cannonball, Wildwood Flower and Shady Grove) complete with treble clef, guitar tabs, chord symbols, and where necessary, picking indications. Then you turn the page, and it's all music. I guess that's where you, the teacher, come in!) (Unfortunately, there is no real discussion of note values. and one very good page about Picking Technique.Mel Bay's Easiest Country Guitar for Children is one of the cleverest guitar books I have seen! It is nicely laid out- it starts with six simple, uncluttered pages each presenting a single topic: Primarily, I appreciate these books because they start with one new note per page - or even per two pages - NO EIGHTH NOTES (the bane of counting for young kids), and NO TABLATURE to seduce kids away from the task of notereading. To teach reading notes (instead of just guitar tabs) to my youngest guitar students, I like the Progressive books for Young Beginners. They move slowly, and have CDs. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of beginner guitar books out there in music land, and I must have over two dozen myself! But here are the ones I've settled on for now: And they should read standard notation too ( You and I both know that if guitar tabs are there, then that's what they're going to be reading, not the treble staff! But they do need the treble clef notes for the rhythm, unless they pick it up by ear.) The music sheets are usually guitar tablature in combination with standard music notation. I use very easy beginner guitar books for my guitar students, plus music sheets I make up, beginner guitar tabs. They should be learning to read tablature They need to move one small step at a time, because in reality they are bringing together so many different skills. You must encourage them along, and if they make good progress, talk their parents into trading in the clunker guitar.)įor older and adult guitar beginners, these issues even themselves out in not too long.īut young kids who are learning how to play guitar need easy steps, even baby steps, adding up to building blocks. They may not sound good even when they get their skill down, if their folks didn't find them the best beginner guitar. ( Of course, I don't really tell my students their playing sounds bad, even if it does. Oh - you didn't know that learning how to play guitar would involve pain and suffering?" Encourage SOUND. Hmm, you'll have to cut your fingernails. "Squeeze the strings! Squeeze them harder! Just ignore the pain.Now strum - ugh! Then there's the PAIN problem - pressing the strings hard enough to eliminate buzz, to make chords sound good. This is true of most instruments, in fact. What's THAT all about? On the piano the notes stay put - Middle C is always just Middle C. Instead, the beginner guitarist must memorize the fact that there is no real separate note called E#, no real Fb.Īnd a note on one string can easily be duplicated on another string. You can play 4th-fret B on the G string, then move next door to the B string and play the same note open. The frets offer no clues of the existence or non-existence of sharps and flats. The beginner guitar player has no such obvious visual aids. On the guitar neck, it is just frets, and more frets. We can see it just by looking - it is self-evident. And between B & C, and between E & F, there are no black notes. On a piano keyboard, we can look and see that between C & D is a black note, called either C sharp or D flat.

The create new branch experience now supports creating branches across all active repositories. For example, to merge changes from a colleague’s branch, right click on the branch under the Remotes tab and select Merge into Current Branch. For more advanced repository and branch management operations please use the Git Repository window.Ī popular use case for this lightweight branch management experience is to include updates from different remote branches. Common inner loop branching operations including merge, rebase, rename, delete and compare branches are accessible by right clicking branches on this list. You can use both branch pickers for lightweight branch management across your active repositories. To quickly switch between branches of any active repository, expand the repository tree on the branch picker and click on the branch you would like to checkout. You can utilize them to quickly switch between branches and do lightweight branch management across all of your active repositories. The branch pickers on both the status bar and the Git Changes tool window now support multi-repo in Visual Studio. Once you enable the multi-repo feature flag and open a solution File > Open > Project/Solution with projects hosted on different Git repositories, Visual Studio will automatically activate up to 10 repositories at the same time. Note: Open a solution with projects hosted on different Git repositories to get started When you are done exploring and want to go back to your branch, you can choose to discard your changes by checking out an existing branch or choose to keep your changes by creating a new branch first. Now that you are in a detached head state, feel free to run and test your code or even explore and commit changes. Once you confirm your action by clicking Yes, Visual Studio shows a confirmation message and both the Git Repository, and the Git Changes windows show a Detached at a Commit state. Meaning that the HEAD of your repository is going to point directly to a commit instead of a branch. Visual Studio shows a confirmation dialog explaining that by checking out a commit you will be in a detached HEAD state. To checkout a previous commit in Visual Studio, open the Git Repository window View > Git Repository, right click on the commit you would like to go back to and select checkout (–detach). In this case, you can just checkout the tip of the remote branch that you would like to review. That way you don’t need to create a local branch if you are not planning on contributing to it. It can also be helpful if you would like to review code from a remote branch (a colleague’s branch, for example). For example, it allows you to go back to a previous point in your repository’s history where you can run or test your code. If you prefer an inline diff, you can use the diff configuration options gear and switch to an inline diff view.Ĭhecking out a commit can be beneficial in multiple ways.
