Steve Rieck: Okay, so in this next part, we are going to divide the string not into halves or quarters but into thirds, into three equal lengths. So, if I were to take the vibrating length of the string from the bridge to the string nut and divide that into three equal lengths, that would be over the seventh fret and then over the 19th fret right here. So, let's look some of those. If I play the Open E string, notice how the notes are actually different. So, it actually has got completely different pitches for the 19th and the seventh fret. But another thing to notice is notice that the seventh fret is exactly the same notes as the 19th fret harmonics. Again, that's because you've divided the string into three equal lengths. Now, these notes are going to be one octave plus one-fifth above the open string notes. What that means is, you are basically going to need to count up an octave and then count up a fifth up the scale. So, it would be like the fifth note of the E Major scale which is B if this is E Open. You open the first string, the fifth note of E Major scale is B. So that note is B which means the 19th fret also is B. For the B string, the second string, the fifth note of the B scale is F#. So, the seventh fret is F# as well as the 19th fret on the second string. For the third string which is G, the fifth note of the G scale is D. So, the seventh fret is going to be the D, the seventh fret of the open third string and then the 19th fret, same note, same D. And then the fourth string open is D. The fifth note of the D scale is A, the seventh fret is A as well as the 19th fret. The Open A string is -- the fifth note of the A scale is E. So, that means that E is the seventh fret of the fifth string as well as the 19th fret. Notice, how if you leave your finger on too long, they kind of kill the harmonic, you got to lift your finger off almost immediately. Okay, then the sixth string is Open E. So, the seventh fret is B, the fifth note of the E Major scale. E, B and then B at the 19th fret as well. So, so far we had the open strings and then we had the 12th fret, one octave higher. The fifth fret, two octaves higher which was same as the 24th fret, two octaves higher and then we have the seventh fret which is an octave and a fifth higher as well as the 19th fret, an octave and a fifth higher. So, let's look at some more harmonics in the next episode. Erik Mongrain: Hi, I am Erik Mongrain and today, I am going to try and show you to play the lap-tapping. The point here is this technique is mostly improvisation. For me, I would say, 75% improvisation and 25% structures.

Insurance Issues - Riot - Part II

The key to the definition of riot is that the elements of riot must occur at or about the same time. It is not, for example, sufficient for the violence to have been perpetrated by differing individuals at differing places at differing times and the violence must be threatened in the course of fulfilling the combined intention of the rioters, not subsequent to the occurrence or in the course of escape....

Insurance Issues - Contamination - Part II

For example, a fire may occur in a frozen food packaging plant. As a result of the fire, the packaging of the stock becomes contaminated and has to be replaced. In those circumstances, the damage would be covered by the policy even though contamination may be excluded in that it was itself caused by a non-excluded peril, namely fire and smoke pollution. An example of the second part of the proviso could perhaps be where the concrete floor of the factory has become contaminated over a period of t...
