This review is from: Portable Mini MP3 AM FM Bands Weather Radio w/Built-In USB & SD & Torch Light
Pros: This is one of those ULTIMATE gadgets that knocks your socks off the more you use it. The battery is rechargeable and lasts FOREVER with the low usage of the radio, usb or sd chip. There is also a flashlight that works great as well as shortwave bands in case the s hits the fan and you speak Spanish. The sound and reception are great and what you would expect from a small radio. I bought this from another site for $21 and couldn't be happier after trying another "portable" radio for $70 that was a piece of junk.
Cons: Don't leave plugged in and off when battery is already charged because you WILL blow the battery. I smelled an electric smell and felt heat from the vents in the back when left plugged in when I first bought it because I didn't know if the rechargeable battery came already charged.
Other Thoughts: This is probably the cheapest portable radio you can buy with so many features. Between the radio bands, usb, sd and audio in ports this box IS versatility.

The Autumn/Winter season is fast approaching and we all know bold lipstick colours will be back in again as they emphasize the thickness of your lips, and are a beauty staple. But sometimes wearing a nude lip tone can be a better suited option depending on the make-up look or outfit you're wearing.
Within modern society nude is considered a 'pinkish-beige' colour defined for lighter skin tones. It is a classic beauty look but it is important to get the shade right! It isn't easy, but there is a right way to find the perfect shade that'll redefine the nude concept.
Nude lips have come a long way as there are so many more colours and textures to choose from with a range of shades from the classic peach-based tones to chocolate-based tones.

AW15 Work Styles: Employability
A fashion faux pas could cost you your job. What you wear says a lot about character, and will predominantly play a vital role in the outcome of your interview. We all know interviews are never simple but the way you dress commands a presence, meaning you are more likely to be taken seriously in an interview.
Employers instantly form an impression that'll last during the interview and even after. This opinion will predominantly be based on your demeanour and appearance when they meet you. Presenting yourself in a particular way is for you to meet the employer's expectations.
Furthermore, knowing what to wear to an interview is essential as fashions come and go but style remains for both formal and informal interviews.
Here are categorized AW15 suggestions on what one could wear to stay dressed to impress potential employers:
Tailored for the job you're interviewing for I.e. Going above and beyond what you would normally consider suitable for work.
MOTHERS DAY – It's never too late to spoil your Mum.
Personal Shopping with me is a unique experience, a memory she'll cherish and share with you forever.
Mum's are so busy some tell me they only go shopping once or twice a year. They don't have time to continually go shopping, or go through the hassle and disappointment of returning items purchased online. Sometimes a Mother may only have time to buy an item of clothing as they are rushing past a store, whilst running an errand. So clothing is collected in a hurry and without a plan. This means ending up with plenty of items but 'nothing to wear', as often they can't be mixed and matched. Mum's really benefit from the targeted approach during the Personal Shopping session we have together, and the freedom that comes with spending less time and energy shopping, having learned expert styling tips during a standard 3-hour session.
I'm often taken aback by how much mothers sacrifice for their families. They will say things like, "I only tend to buy in sale times - I like a bargain if it's only for me!". Rather than booking Personal Shopping with me for themselves, they will book for their son or daughter, as a present for getting into uni, or celebrating their first job.
When Mothers do finally come to me, often they've reached a point where all this sacrifice has come to a head. It's in the spirit of creating balance in their lives, realising the importance of doing something for themselves.
"I have lost myself a bit since becoming a mum and don't really make an effort, just wear 'comfy' stuff. I want to start looking nice and feeling nice."
Other times it's their lovely children or husbands who book Personal Shopping with me as a special Christmas, Birthday, or Mother's Day gift. When Mum is not looking, their husbands often tell me to encourage her not to worry how much she spends! They just want to treat her to looking and feeling fantastic, and give her the VIP treatment for the day.
"I want my husband to feel proud that I am his wife and I want to feel proud to be me."
Personal Shopping is timely especially after a mum has gained or lost weight, perhaps after working hard at the gym, having a baby, or after illness. During the session I impart many styling tips and tricks, to help her look slimmer, taller, or create more curves, depending on her needs. I recommend wardrobe staples which are flattering for her body shape, which can be mixed and matched. She'll feel empowered knowing the clothes suit her body perfectly - and feeling great leads to staying motivated to continue her exercise plan for achieving the figure she wants.
"I would love to know what suits me and how to put an outfit together. I sometimes have a good day shopping, come home with a few things and realise that nothing goes with anything I have, so I take it all back!"
Mum's usually also ask me how to wear the trends and still be age-appropriate, which is completely achievable (I believe there's no such thing as 'too old!'). They also want me to recommend comfortable clothes which can be smartened up. This is needed for busy mums who do so much running around, and don't wish to purchase two separate wardrobes of day and evening clothes. A Personal Shopping session can save them money from having to do so.
"I would like to re-invigorate my wardrobe, perhaps giving me a new outlook to what I chose or confidence that my selections are suited to me."
Often we stick to the same styles and colours, so usually mums are excited to try something new, and to revamp their image! The experience is an exciting process for all, during which family members can keep mum company with the option to relax in the privacy of a luxury personal styling suite. A far cry from the usual nightmarish experience of Oxford Circus, public crowds and long change-room queues!
It brings me so much joy seeing how much Mum's appreciate the experience, and enhanced well-being of wearing their most flattering clothes, and more confidence they look their best.

Who: Lorna B.
What: Wardrobe Consultation
Where: Luton
One of my favourite Personal Styling services is the Wardrobe Consultation. I love seeing people experience such excitement at the end, unable to contain their surprise when they discover - with expert planning (and a few clever styling techniques) - it's just like getting a new wardrobe. Without the price tag.
On 23rd January 2015, I travelled to Luton to meet Lorna B. On the way to her house Lorna told me she was making many positive changes in her life, including diet and exercise, hair and beauty therapies. This was to prepare for an exciting promotion at work, and she wanted her new image to better reflect her position in life.
It was hard not to let Lorna's positivity and enthusiasm for life rub off a little! I felt like I was sharing a special moment, as she was about to enter an exciting new phase in her life. I wanted to do my best to help her, as I knew her winning attitude would bring much success.
It seemed that on a career and personal front things were going extremely well, and Lorna told me that she wanted her styling to reflect how good she felt, as her current style was letting her down. I asked Lorna what she wanted to achieve from the session. She told me she was a 'bit of a tomboy' and wanted a more feminine look for the office, which also had to be smart and comfortable.
Like most of us, Lorna's busy lifestyle left little time to think about wardrobe planning. In her spare moments she'd shop online. When I saw Lorna's wardrobe I noticed she had many clothes which were excellent for her body shape. Where Lorna really needed help was in putting outfits together, mixing better combinations of what she already owned. So for our three-hour session it was decided I'd set about to create a new workwear capsule to carry her through the week, and an evening look for her upcoming work event.
During the session I taught Lorna a few styling techniques to flatter and enhance her body shape, to look more feminine but formal enough for the workplace. I sorted through her wardrobe, even her storage room retrieving items from zip lock bags she forgot existed - ignoring warnings that 'there's nothing there'! We worked really hard (a couple of coffee breaks served us well), all the while having fun of course, and I completely enjoyed the company of Lorna's down to earth bubbly personality. After Lorna's patience in trying on several new looks our efforts were rewarded. Just enough time was left for me to re-organise her wardrobe, hanging her six new outfits in order for easy access - saving Lorna time in the morning. Lorna also made a list of additional garments I suggested which could be purchased in order to create additional looks to maximise her wardrobe.
Lorna actually said she felt my services paid for themselves, as she no longer felt she needed to buy nearly as many new clothes as she thought. I never tire from hearing this, a huge compliment which makes my job worthwhile.
Lorna's ambition is an inspiration, and I am proud to have been part of her journey as she moves towards more success and happiness (all the way in style of course!).

He has a distinct blind spot for PR when he's running full bore, and with four mini manufacturing centers on track for full production by summer, and trying to get his hands on refurbishable gunstock, he needs to be upbeat if not on track.
Any woe is me on that latter account is going to send shareholders into skittish selloff mode. He's done this before and it looks like this stock is poised to go to 11.
Ruger tried to low key their conference and they sounded like idiots. "Yeah we are sold out for the next year, but we won't raise prices". Most idiotic statement I have ever heard on a conference call. When demand goes down in three years, will the gun shops agree to pay you more because you were such good guys back in the day? RGR is giving away shareholder money. S&W needs to be clear: "We have a high quality product which is in short supply. We are evaluating all of our pricing options." That is all the market needs to hear to make conclusions about future earnings.
Glad you aren't in charge (Gouging your customers is never a good idea)
He did say that they do have annual pricing increases. Keep in mind, they don't want to generate bad blood in generational branding. If they were to take advantage of the situation on w wholesale level, it would ripple through to retail and include a markup. Ruger will effectively get its margin enhancement via favorable overhead application (economies of scale).
We sure don't need another "gee I don't know how well this is going to turn out because we have to buy new versus used gunstock and gee I don' t know, we hope the mini manufacturing centers are off and running, but gee I don't know... blah blah.
We need upbeat straight from the shoulder, we are on track.....not waffle wimpy words.
We need a 12% pop in the price of everything, just to keep pace with the degradation of the dollar, which has plummeted 6% a year since 1971 when Nixon took us off the silver standard and attempted to "controllllllllllllllllllll" inflation, failing miserably. His legacy may have been Watergate, but his burglary of most ill repute is the steady erosion of everybody's currency and buying power in the real world in perpetuity, like the Incredible Shrinking Man.

1Get in the shower or bath and wash your hair. First with shampoo (preferably anti-dandruff) and then with conditioner (can be anti-dandruff if you want).
2DO NOT DRY HAIR WITH A TOWEL! Simply wrap it up in your towel and wait about 15 minutes.
3Unwrap your towel and let your hair down. Brush it to your liking, then flip it so your head is facing the ground.
4Brush your hair from the back of your neck to the tips of your hair. Then turn the hair dryer on and keep brushing while moving the hair dryer from your neck to the tips.
5Once the hair on the back of your neck is dry, start to move the hair dryer onto the top of your hair while your face is still facing the ground.
6Flip your hair back up and run your fingers through your hair as you use the hair dryer to dry the sides of your hair.
7Finish drying the little parts you missed.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- While drying the hair on the top of the head, use your fingers to brush instead of the brush itself.
- Try not to hit your head whilst drying with a hair dryer or brushing your hair.

A new man-made island to be made from 4.5 million tonnes of excavated material from Crossrail has been launched.
Environment secretary Owen Paterson today officially launched the nature project that will guarantee a place for tens of thousands of migratory birds, and combat threats from climate change and coastal flooding.
Wallasea Island in the Thames Estuary will be transformed from levee-protected farmland into a thriving wetland, twice the size of the City of London and teeming with bird and marine life.
Crossrail will deliver 4.5 million tonnes of clean earth from the construction of major new rail tunnels under London to help build the nature reserve at Wallasea.
The earth will be used to create higher and lower ground to restore the wetland landscape of mudflats, saltmarsh and lagoons last seen 400 years ago.
A jetty constructed by Bam Nuttall to receive 4.5 million tonnes of excavated material arriving by ship from Northfleet, Essex has already been built.
Mr Paterson said: "The excellent work that Crossrail and the RSPB are doing to create the Jubilee Marshes at Wallasea shows how major infrastructure schemes can help to generate economic growth as well as helping to improve local wildlife. This could be the gold standard against which all future projects are measured."
Crossrail chief executive Andrew Wolstenholme said: "This landmark project is a pioneering example of how the construction industry and environment groups can work in partnership to build a sustainable Britain that benefits both the economy and the environment. Crossrail is delighted to be involved in a project that will leave a lasting legacy long after the construction of the new rail line has been completed."
About eight miles of coastal walks and cycle routes will also be created as part of the project, which means that the nature reserve will also become a wonderful place for people to explore and enjoy.
At its peak 10,000 tonnes of material will be unloaded from ships per day. Crossrail will deliver more than 2,000 ship loads of excavated material to Wallasea Island.
The earth will be transported from Crossrail's western tunnels via freight train from west London to Northfleet in Kent where it will be loaded on to ships. Excavated material will also be loaded onto ships directly from the eastern tunnelling site at Limmo near Canning Town station in east London, with further material shipped from a storage site on the River Thames at Barking.
The government has set a combined target for the recreation of saltmarshes and mudflats, of 3,600 hectares (8,895 acres) by 2015. The Wallasea Island Wild Coast Project will deliver 670 hectares of marshland.
The Essex estuaries are in the top five most important coastal wetlands in the country and are protected by national and European law.

Reading review articles can be a good way of familiarising yourself with a topic quickly. Review articles can be published in normal journals, or in review type journals like the following. In many databases you can search for review articles, eg by refining search results in Web of Science by Document type.
Literature references are often written with abbreviated terms. Probably the most troublesome are abbreviated journal titles which can make finding a journal difficult.
In biology the journal title abbreviations used by BIOSIS are often used. A list of these is given in "BIOSIS serial sources" which is kept at the Issue Desk in the Biological Sciences Library.
If you are unable to find the abbreviation you are looking for, please ask a member of the Library staff for assistance.
Sometimes very short unofficial abbreviations are employed in biology reference books or journals. Here are some examples that you may encounter:
Please note: these should not be used in the references that you write, unless they are stipulated by the body or journal that you are submitting your work to.
EndNote is the University of Bristol's recommended bibliographical management software, which can be used to collect, store, organise and manage references, and to output them as reference lists or bibliographies. A particularly useful function is 'Cite While You Write', enabling you to format Word documents, producing bibliographies and adding references within the text.

OLYMPIA — In issuing a blanket suspension of executions during his term, Gov. Jay Inslee on Tuesday shielded himself from a future run-in with one of the toughest decisions his job can produce.
Just ask former Gov. Mike Lowry.
Lowry, a liberal Democrat and fierce death-penalty foe, faced the question of giving clemency in a 1994 case that forced him to balance his philosophical views with the realities of a brutal case. Eventually, he allowed triple-murderer Charles Campbell to be hanged.
On Tuesday, he said it was "in some ways the most difficult thing I did as governor."

- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- A six-pack of observations from Seahawks' OTAs: Justin Britt, Alex Collins, Tharold Simon and more
Most Read Stories
"It's not a decision that a human should really have to make," he said. "I really think that it's a question that falls beyond what I consider is our ability as human beings to really comprehend."
In the Campbell case, Lowry said, he felt comfortable letting the execution go forward only after meeting with families of the victims and the condemned, and the killer himself.
The case represented the very definition of a heinous crime: Campbell, sent to prison for raping a Snohomish County woman at knife point in front of her infant daughter, got out of prison and slit the throats of the woman, the daughter and a neighbor who had testified against him.
But Lowry said that did not play a large role in his decision.
The deciding factor, he said, was that the conviction had survived repeated appeals over 12 years.
"It had been through the extensive process — all of the reviews, all of the appeals," Lowry said. "That made me choose to let it go ahead."
It was the only execution under Lowry's watch.
The former governor said he does not regret his decision, although it has weighed on him over the years.
"When you look back at being governor, there were so many things that I really enjoyed," Lowry said. "But when I look back, this is one that sticks with me."
Despite his views, Lowry said the idea of a moratorium on executions never crossed his mind. Maybe it should have, he said.
He applauded Inslee's move.
"What he's doing is establishing a policy. He's not taking these individual cases up when there's an execution date," Lowry said. "I think that's a very good way to govern."

The Mourning Goes on; 11 Bodies Released; Medical Examiner Must Analyze Each
Byline: Tarron Lively, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Officials with the medical examiner's office in Richmond said yesterday that they have released the bodies of 11 of the 32 victims in the shootings Monday at Virginia Tech.
Investigators have not released the body of the shooter, Cho Seung-hui, and say it could be weeks before blood tests are returned. The tests could determine whether Cho was under the influence of drugs at the time he shot the victims, then himself.
Robert Parker, a spokesman for the state medical examiner's office, could not say which victims had been released.
Each victim must be examined, a process that takes a few hours, for legal purposes, said Lawrence Kobilinsky, professor of forensic science at John Jay College in New York.
"Any time there's a death, even in instances where the cause is fairly obvious, every single person has to be completely analyzed," he said. "I know it sounds trivial, but it's important to cross the t's and dot the i's."
Mr. Kobilinsky said autopsies also help criminal investigations by determining where and how many times the victims were struck and the caliber of the weapon used.
Ronald S. Wade, director of the anatomical services division of the University of Maryland School of Medicine and director of the Maryland State Anatomy Board, said the autopsies are performed largely at the discretion of the medical examiner.
"Autopsies generally are done to definitively determine the cause of death," Mr. Wade said. "Unless it's a clear suicide, there's pretty much always an autopsy, especially in cases of multiple gunshots so it can be determined which wound was fatal."
Victims' families are arranging funerals and memorial services.
A public memorial service for Kevin P. Granata, a professor of engineering science and mechanics, will be held at the Blacksburg Presbyterian Church at 2 p.m. today, according to Virginia Tech's alumni association.
The family will have a private funeral service at a later date.
Mr. Granata served in the military and later conducted orthopedic research in hospitals before coming to Virginia Tech, where he and his students researched muscle and reflex response and robotics. …

MONTPELLIER, France (AP) — Florian Mayer of Germany beat Gilles Muller of Luxembourg 7-6 (3), 6-3 on Monday to reach the second round of the Open Sud de France.
The sixth-seeded Mayer saved seven break points in the first set to force a tiebreaker, then broke for a 3-1 lead in the second.
Mayer made his return from a hip injury that forced him to withdraw from the Australian Open.
Mayer enjoyed his best season last year, breaking into the top 20 for the first time, and beating Rafael Nadal in straight sets at the Shanghai Masters.
French wild card Guillaume Rufin also advanced by beating Vasek Pospisil of Canada 6-4, 7-6 (6). The 209th-ranked Rufin won his first match in the main draw of an ATP tour event since last year's French Open.

Alumni and fans of both schools looking for a fun and rewarding way to volunteer for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta are invited to consider joining the UGA-GT Challenge ticket sales fundraising campaign. More than 20,000 tickets typically have been sold to this event each year.
The UGA-GT Challenge for the Spring Classic was formed in 2004. Thanks to the coporate volunteers in this program, more than $1.9 million has been raised to help our patients.
UGA-GT Challenge volunteers help sell seven corporate sponsor ticket packages to the Spring Classic in the weeks leading up to the game. Sponsor ticket packages are $120, $300, $600, $1,200, $1,500, $2,000 and $5,000 and include tickets, parking passes and corporate recognition. There is something to fit every budget and business.

A kickoff orientation lunch will be held in January to explain the program and help you get started. Volunteer at your own pace and work toward incentives as an individual and a corporate team. Children's will handle all of the orders and distribution of tickets. Your time commitment is minimal, but your involvement will help innumerable kids being treated at Children's.

A road sign tells of the paths, it does not suggest a path. A sign from god tells of the Ways, it does not suggest a Way.
Every animal, from the smartest to the simplest, that willingly enters water can swim. It is thought, not inability, that causes man to drown.
Beware your thoughts; they become your words.
Beware your words; they become your actions.
Beware your actions; they become your habits.
Beware your habits; they become your nature.
Beware your nature; it becomes your destiny.
A wise man's actions speak for himself.
Nothing in this world is worth having if it comes too easy.
I m not wise enough to put quotes over here
I'm just human, I have weaknesses, I make mistakes and I experience sadness; But I learn from all these things to make me a better person.
To some, an obstacle is an excuse to quit.
To others it is an opportunity to grow stronger.
On times you feel spirits are low always remember that tomorrow is a new day, but then why wait? when every minute, every second, every moment we are alive is an opportunity to dawn positive change
If you are not happy being single, you will never be happy in a relationship. Get your own life first, then share it.
People should not be afraid of their governments, goverments should be afraid of their people.
Truly great people don't go around telling everyone how great they are everyone already knows it.
Everbody makes mistakes, thats why they put erasers on the end of pencils
What sounds foolish to the wise, sounds wise to the foolish.

stolen credit card affect on mortgage app
We were days away from making offer on a home after 7 months of successfully repairing my credit. Someone got a hold of my credit card # and maxed it up to it's $1,000 limit. After assurance from CC company (applied bank) that we would be reimbursed for all fraudulent charges I went ahead and paid it down to 9% as the reporting date is 10/2.
My question is now that I'm being issued a new card (CC Company used term new account) will that effect my average age of credit? Will it appear as a new account? will my credit report show the stolen account as closed? I asked the credit card CSR these questions but could tell she didnt understand what I was asking her.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) - Russian and Ukrainian boxing teams will compete as scheduled in the World Series of Boxing quarterfinals despite tensions between the countries.
AIBA says both teams agreed ''sport should always be dealt with outside of politics.''
The Russian franchise is owned by oil and gas engineering company Stroytransgaz, which is controlled by Kremlin-linked billionaire Gennady Timchenko. The Ukrainian franchise is run by the national boxing federation.
The winner is scheduled to face either the USA Knockouts or Cuba Domadores in the semifinals on April 25 and May 2.

The 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup hosts had another solid performance on home soil Saturday, as Brazil defeated Italy 4-2 to win Group A.
Brazil took the lead just before halftime when Dante sent in Buffon's deflection. Six minutes into the second half, Italy equalized on Emanuele Giaccherini's shot just outside the right corner of the six-yard box.
Neymar's free kick to the far post gave the Brazil the lead again four minutes, and by the 66th minute Fred made it three.
But Brazil's inability to clear a corner in the 71st minute led to a Giorgio Chiellini's goal, which brought the Italians to within 3-2.
Another Fred goal sealed the game when he put home his second in the 88th minute.
Brazil takes Group A with the full nine points, while Italy finishes second with two wins and a loss. The two teams will find out their semifinal opponents when Group B finishes Sunday. Italy will play the other group's winner, while Brazil will play the runner up.
Score: Italy 2-4 Brazil

At the beginning the Lady Bulldogs gave with the Bolivar Liberators last Thursday, the played tough matching the Liberators almost shot for shot. Then the Liberators had a run that put them a few points ahead. When it was over, the Liberators took the game 56-75.
Leading the Varsity in scoring was Alexa Schaaf with 18, Kameron Schaaf – 10 and Kinli Simmons – 7. Rebounding leaders were Alexa Schaaf – 13 and Kameron Schaaf and Kinli Simmons with 8.
Coach Beau Swopes said, "We started off really well attacking the basket and getting Bolivar into foul trouble. In the second and third quarter we struggled offensively and Bolivar caught fire from the outside."
Our next game will be Thursday at Stockton.
DRIVEN – Kameron Schaaf protects the ball by dribbling with her off hand as she drives to the basket in the Lady Bulldogs game with the Bolivar Liberators Thursday night at home.
KEEP YOUR WITTS ABOUT YOU – Lady Bulldog Taylor Witt goes into traffic for a lay-up during their game with Bolivar last Thursday night.
ONE GIANT STEP – Lady Bulldog Kinli Simmons appears to have on her seven league boots as she drives to the basket for a layup during their game with the Bolivar Liberators last Thursday at home.
SHORT PUPPY, TALL WEEDS – If you are not tall in baskeball, you'd better be quick. Bulldog Cameron McPeak fills that bill. She got to the basket for this shot before the Bolivar Liberator defender could stop her

I have recently set up a self-hosted wordpress installation at blog.denapoliphoto.com. I am running the newest version.
I am using the Pilcrow theme and have gotten it to look close to how I want, however, I would like to remove the "Tagged as:" text as well as all the tags from showing on the index and post pages. I do not want to remove the tags of course, just prevent them from showing.
I have looked through the CSS and tried to comment out specific parts that i thought were responsible, but I cannot make it happen. I simply don't know enough about how CSS works and where the appropriate elements are to make it work.
I searched previous threads but all the themes are different and I can't find an answer for Pilcrow. Any help or guidance would be appreciated, if this is possible.

How does an opera singer produce that sound?
Singing is a more athletic, energetic and elite form of speech. The voice is a wonderful, mysterious instrument – hidden from view, so all the singer has to rely on is sound and feel.
The vocal folds, which are tiny, the size of your little fingernail, are the source of the sound. They are connected to the lungs as the power source, the abdominal muscles and diaphragm are the generators. In a woman, during normal speech, the vocal folds flutter together around 220 times a second, in a man it's around 130. Singing can raise this by up to a thousand more. Next, the vocal tract shapes the sound – this is the tubing around the back of the nose, throat and tongue, including the mouth, lips and teeth. The sound produced by the vocal folds is made up of all sorts of harmonics and partials, which can be accentuated or attenuated in certain places in the vocal tract.
Read more: How does an opera singer's voice actually work?
Some people are genetically predisposed to be good at this, but it's possible to learn to achieve that lovely ringing sound, which carries so well with such clarity – the singer's formant.
What makes a great operatic voice?
It is a combination of genetics – the size of the larynx, vocal folds and length of the vocal tract, and those other intangible, non-physical qualities: musicality, imagination, temperament.
How can a singer care for their voice?
Always stay well hydrated. The vocal folds, which are fluttering together to make the sound, need to have a wet surface, and if you are not secreting enough lubricant, what little is there becomes viscous. As the vocal folds come together in the closed phase they stick, so you have to increase the effort to burst them open again. They will then recoil and slap together. It is the equivalent of walking through mud – exhausting.
Singing in the full throes of a cold is quite dangerous, but if the cold is on the way out I advise singers to steam for an hour, using an electric steamer, to shift anything left and reintroduce moisture. But stay away from anything that dehydrates – particularly menthol or decongestants. Warm-up and cool-down exercises are important. If a singer has been using their voice in a restricted register – say very high – afterwards it's a good idea to bring the larynx and vocal cords back to neutral by doing some descending scales and trills for a few minutes.
Acid reflux is another very common problem; even just the vapours from stomach acids are harmful – they contain pepsin, a protein-degrading enzyme, and the larynx is made of protein. So no late-night meals of spicy or acidic foods.
Unlike any other instrument you can't pack a voice away in a case when you are finished – it is always there in a singer's day-to-day life and they have to be aware of that.
In my clinics, I see people in crisis, which for a singer is terrifying – it's not just their job, it's their identity too. However, I say never waste a good crisis – it's a time to change things for the better. But I am impressed with how well The Royal Opera looks after its singers. As I meet with them I encounter very few problems, which shows that the investment in their future is good.]]>
'Never in my life would I have thought that I would end up as a professional opera singer,' says Jette Parker Young Artist Hanna Hipp. However, the mezzo-soprano, now in her final months of the Young Artists Programme, has performed numerous roles on the Covent Garden Main Stage over the past two years. She has sung alongside some of the world's greatest opera stars and is already booked to perform at the Turku Festival in Finland, and with Scottish Opera and Glyndebourne.
'I realized that could sing when I was about eight and I always got solos in the children's choir,' she explains. 'The rehearsals on a Saturday morning were obligatory, but for me they were a real treat as singing gave me such pleasure.'
Hanna began to focus on singing professionally when she was 17, studying at the Stanisław Moniuszko Academy of Music in Gdańsk and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where she graduated from the Opera Course with distinction. 'The course at GSMD was spontaneous – fate sort of led me there,' she explains, 'but it was where it all started and it's been a fun journey. It was an inspiring and mind-blowing experience to be part of.'
Hanna joined the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme in 2011, making her Main Stage debut in the Plácido Domingo Celebration as Emilia in Verdi's Otello. 'Debuting in the gala was a great challenge and opportunity,' she says. 'It was amazing to be on stage with Domingo, the biggest star, but it was also the first reality-check. In a gala, you have to be able to perform a character in just one scene rather than a full opera. I remember thinking: 'If I can do this, I will probably be ok for the next two years'.'
She has since performed in productions ranging from Berlioz's epic Les Troyens to Mozart's Die Zauberflöte, as well as preparing cover roles for Wagner's Ring Cycle, Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin, and George Benjamin's ground-breaking Written on Skin.
Charles Castronovo as Tamino, Gaynor Keeble as Third Lady, Anita Watson as First Lady and Hanna Hipp as Second Lady in Die Zauberflöte
'I absolutely adored Les Troyens,' she says. 'To step into a new production as a young singer and prove you are worthy is challenging, but I had wonderful support from the team, including David McVicar and Tony Pappano. It was a real treat for me.
'Similarly, the whole process of cover roles was invaluable. To learn the role so that it is always under your belt is an investment that pays off.'
Hanna will shortly be performing the role of Bianca in Puccini's La rondine, which opens on 5 July. Nicolas Joël's production is set in the decadent glamour of 1920s France and Hanna will sing in an ensemble alongside fellow Jette Parker Young Artists Justina Gringyte and Dušica Bijelić.
'It's really surprising that La rondine is not staged more often,' she says. 'It has beautiful colours and wonderful orchestration. There is a lightness that just carries you away. I always enjoy ensemble roles as you have to be a team player and very precise in the musical aspects. It's also something of a farewell as there are quite a few Young Artists on stage at the same time.'
In addition to performances on the Main Stage, Hanna has received training in all aspects of opera, ranging from stagecraft and body movement workshops to vocal instruction and language tuition. However, classes aside, she emphasizes that the biggest benefit of the programme has been learning how to manage the workload as a professional opera singer.
'Beyond the classes, the Programme teaches you how quickly you have to prepare roles,' she explains. 'Now, I'm aware of what might be expected of me when I show up to a production: you need to be on the ball from day one and arrive with a concept of the role already in your head.'
La rondine runs from 5 - 21 July. Tickets are available now. The Jette Parker Young Artists Programme is supported by Oak Foundation.]]>
