    BECOME A BETTER DRUMMER, FASTER When you’re serious about drumming, you need a kit to match your ambition. The V-Drums TD-17 series lets your technique shine through, backed up with training tools to push you further. Combining a TD-50-class sound engine with newly developed pads results in an affordable electronic drum kit that’s authentically close to playing acoustic drums – accurately mirroring the physical movement, stick coordination and hand/foot control that every drummer needs.

  • No.8/September 2011 南京权安广告苏印证: 20100046
    No.8/September 2011 南京权安 广告 苏印证: 20100046 Schools of Thought “He was so learned that he could name a horse in nine languages; so ignorant that he bought a cow to ride on.” Benjamin Franklin, 1706-1790 How true! Such is the difference between education, learning and good old fashioned common sense. This month, The Nanjinger turns its attention in part to learning. The Korean Board of Eduction has stated that by 2014 the textbook shall be a thing of the past (in Korean schools at least). All educational tools shall therefore be digital. Even here in Nanjing the increasingly digital classroom is quickly become a standard among our international schools. However, in the future much of our learning may not even take place in the classroom; inside this issue of The Nanjinger we see what virtual worlds hold for the future of learning. For the students of Chinese among us, we balance this future of learning with learning examples of the future tense in the ever popular Chinese Corner. Still referencing the Chinese language, an expression used among our Oriental friends that reflects the priorities of modern life is “clothing, food, residence and commute”. Our UK correspondent reveals some of the impact this belief system has on Chinese students abroad as they find themsleves saying, “Bye bye chicken feet!” Finally, most us can take comfort in the knowledge that travel is by far and away the best educator. With the addi- tional unique experiences offered to all of us as guests in China, those reading this magazine must surely be among the most learned people in the world! And most of us also know how to say “horse” in Chinese! Thanks for picking us up! 这期杂志的主题是关于学习。你还记得你在学校的日子吗？你还记得老师怎样教我们记住东西?让 我们展望未来的学习和听听中国人在英国学习关于面临衣食住行的挑战。 我们旅行篇将带你去访问福建省厦门海岸著名的鼓浪屿岛。 感觉饿了吗？我们的评论部分这个月介绍一个很棒的坐落在仙林的意大利餐厅和在南京的大渔铁 板自助餐！！ 你，或是你的亲戚，有一辆属于自己的飞鸽牌自行车？我们打赌你会有因为飞鸽是世界上最受欢 迎的机动车,来,让我们带你领略经典设计。 这些都只是一些事情，你会了解到，这期杂志都是关于学习的故事！我们希望你喜欢！ #8 This has been my second summer in China, my first in Nanjing – last year I was working in Dalian.

  • Westlife Đến Từ Xứ Sở Thần Tiên Ireland
    IRELAND CONTEST 2019 2 VÒNG 1 SÁNG TẠO CÙNG IRELAND 2019 3 IRELAND CONTEST 2019 4 Đang mơ màng đứng trên hành lang của lớp học nhìn về phía những cây bằng lăng tím ngắt cả một khoảng trời, tôi bỗng bị cuốn hút bởi một giọng hát ngọt ngào đang ngân nga bên tai tôi: “… So I say a little prayer, and hope my dreams will take me there. Where the skies are blue, to see you once again, my love…”. Đây chính là bài hát mà tôi rất thích của ban nhạc Westlife đến từ xứ sở thần tiên Ireland. Trong khi TRIỆU THỊ TUYẾT NHUNG cậu bạn lãng tử đang say sưa trong giai điệu của bài hát thì ánh mắt của tôi đã chăm Phú Thọ chú nhìn về phía cậu. Cậu ta bất chợt quay sang nhìn tôi rồi hỏi: “ Hay không?” Tôi bất thần gật đầu: “ Ừ, hay lắm, đây là ban nhạc mình yêu mến” Cậu ta nở một nụ cười tươi rồi nháy mắt: “ Trùng sở thích nhau gê, thích thì mai mình cho mượn vài chiếc đĩa của Westlife” Tôi thích thú gật đầu nhanh chóng. Thế rồi cậu ta có vẻ trầm tư nhìn về một khoảng không xa xăm giữa sân trường rồi nói tiếp: “Tình yêu thật đẹp, lời bài hát thật ý nghĩa. Và anh quỳ xuống thầm cầu nguyện, hy vọng những giấc mơ sẽ dắt anh đi, đến Tình yêu những bầu trời xanh thẫm để một lần gặp lại em yêu một lần nữa” Tôi thấy cậu ta có vẻ rất tâm trạng, có lẽ cậu ta đang thất tình nên tôi cười trừ rồi đi vào lớp.

  • The Performance and Materiality of the Processes, Spaces and Labor of VFX Production Sarah Atkinson
    Interactive ‘making-of’ machines: The performance and materiality of the processes, spaces and labor of VFX production Sarah Atkinson This article analyses and interrogates two interactive museum installations which were designed to reveal behind-the-scenes materials from Inception (2010) and Gravity (2013) in order to showcase the breakthrough Visual Effects (VFX) of each of the films for which both received widespread critical acclaim. The multi-screen, interactive and immersive installations were both created in direct collaboration with the VFX supervisors who were responsible for pioneering the new and innovative creative solutions in each of the films. The installations translate these processes for a wider audience and as such they not only provide rich sites for textual analysis as new ancillary forms of paratextual access, but they also provide insights into the way that VFX sector presents itself, situated within the wider context of the current global VFX industry. The article draws together critical production studies, textual analysis and reflections from the industry which, combined, provide new understandings of these interactive forms of ancillary film ‘making-of’ content, their performative dimensions and the labor processes that they reveal. Context This article analyzes and interrogates two interactive museum installations that were designed to reveal behind-the-scenes materials from Inception (2010, Dir: Christopher Nolan) and Gravity (2013) in order to showcase the acclaimed, breakthrough visual effects (VFX) of each

    USA CYCLING USA DEVELOPMENT CYCLING THE AND FOUNDATION USA CYCLING NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS 210 USA CYCLING POINT, SUITE 100 COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80919 PHONE: 719.434.4200 ANNUAL REPORT FAX: 719.434.4300 EMAIL: [email protected] WEB: usacycling.org MESSAGE FROM THE CEO Dear USA Cycling Members and Friends: 2012 marked the tenth consecutive year of growth for USA Cycling. Not only did our license sales and club numbers reach all-time highs of 74,516 and 2,812 respectively, but we also permitted a record number of events (3,145) and supported more than 630,000 racing days across all five disciplines of cycling. In addition to the continued growth, it was an incredible year for the sport on other fronts as well. We launched the race director certification program and celebrated the grand opening of our national conference center at our Colorado Springs headquarters. American athletes earned four medals in road, track and mountain bike events at the London Olympic Games, and an additional 23 medals in para-cycling events in London. In world championship competition, American athletes earned a total of 135 medals in elite (15), amateur (97), and para-cycling (23) contests. And finally, we crowned more than 500 national champions at our seventeen national championship events in 2012! Our success across all of cycling's disciplines can be attributed to our innovative National Development Programs which continue to provide unparalleled opportunities for American athletes. For the past 13 years, these programs have been supported largely by the non-profit, fundraising arm of USA Cycling, the USA Cycling Development Foundation.
