Sadly, if, like me, you don't know Italian, you'll probably miss what he is saying here. If there are subtitles, I can't read them, since I'm blind. This is also why I can't watch full operas (or even operettas) if they're not in English. At any rate, here Bel Canto singing is being demonstrated. This is what I mean by good opera singers, though to call Beniamino Gigli a good opera singer would be doing him a huge disservice, as he was literally one of the best in history! I am curious as to what he is demonstrating, though. In the first example, I actually hear him breathing. For anyone who follows the style of Clara Novello Davies, the whole point is breath control, and I know that this is important in Bel Canto as well. Is he showing what not to do, or that you don't need to apply such power as in the second example? I say that because modern singers have too much vibrato and often show emence effort, while older ones are more natural in their approach, even if they do have powerful voices. This is not me speaking from my hat. I can hear the differences and also heard them described by experts.

Putting my camera on a tripod and set the exposure time to 1/4 sec. It did not produce the result I wanted. In this night market situation, there was already a lot of light. I didn't really need a long exposure time. A lot of billboards looked overexposed. 🙁

For our (small) master dissertation about #education (but mostly because we are interested), we are doing research about using #OpenStreetMap within #secondary education (roughly 12 - 18 years old, but with a focus on 16 - 18 years old).

The long-term goal is to create a usable #lesson where pupils go out and map using a data collection app. If you have any experience with this, would you be so kind to spend 10 minutes of your time to fill out the survey?

A quotation from Barrie, James:

«
The useless men are those who never change with the years. Many views that I held to in my youth and long afterwards are a pain to me now, and I am carrying away from Thrums memories of errors into which I fell at every stage of my ministry. When you are older you will know that life is a long lesson in humility.
