Even after writing eleven books and winning several awards, Maya Angelou couldn’t escape the doubt that she hadn’t earned her accomplishments. This feeling of fraudulence is extremely common. Why can’t so many of us shake feelings that our ideas and skills aren’t worthy of others’ attention? Elizabeth Cox describes the psychology behind the imposter syndrome, and what you can do to combat it.
Ryan Gosling Plays Astronaut Neil Armstrong As The ‘First Man’ To Walk On The Moon
“We need to fail down here so we don’t fail up there.”
On the heels of their six-time Academy Award-winning smash, La La Land, Oscar-winning director Damien Chazelle and star Ryan Gosling re-team for Universal Pictures’ First Man, the riveting story behind the first manned mission to the moon, focusing on Neil Armstrong and the decade leading to the historic Apollo 11 flight. A visceral and intimate account told from Armstrong’s perspective, based on the book by James R. Hansen, the film explores the triumphs and the cost—on Armstrong, his family, his colleagues and the nation itself—of one of the most dangerous missions in history.
Written by Academy Award winner Josh Singer (Spotlight, The Post), the epic drama of leading under the pressure of grace and tragedy is produced by Wyck Godfrey & Marty Bowen (The Twilight Saga, The Fault in Our Stars) through their Temple Hill Entertainment banner, alongside Isaac Klausner (Love, Simon) and Chazelle. Steven Spielberg, Adam Merims and Singer executive produce, while DreamWorks Pictures co-finances the film.
CRTC increases Bell, Rogers, Corus allocations of $5.5 million average spending per year to music
The CRTC responded today to the government’s Order-in-Council to reconsider its decisions regarding large television groups by imposing conditions of licence on them to ensure the continued support of the Canadian creative sector. The government asked the CRTC to re-examine original Canadian French-language programs, programs of national interest in the English-language market and short-form programming, including music. These changes were made to preserve the viability, stability and competitiveness of the creative sector and the Canadian television market.
For the French-language market, the CRTC now requires each group to make significant investments in the creation of French-language programs, representing 75% of its Canadian programming expenditures for original French-language programs starting in 2019-2020. The percentage in 2018-2019 will be 50%, which will enable the groups to adjust to the new requirements and ensure sufficient support for the production of original French-language content for the French-language market.
The CRTC is also increasing expenditure requirements for programs of national interest in the English-language market. The percentage will now be based on historical expenditures, to ensure sufficient investment in the production of these programs and financial contributions according to each group’s financial resources. Therefore, the requirements are increasing from 5% to 7.5% of previous years’ revenues for Bell, and from 5% to 8.5% for Corus, while requirements for Rogers remain at 5%. The CRTC believes this approach will ensure the Canadian production sector continues to play an essential role in the Canadian economy and offer high-quality content to viewers in Canada and abroad.
The CRTC determined that the groups in both language markets will be required to allocate an average of $5.5 million per year to support the production of musical programs (FACTOR and MUSICACTION). These expenditures will be imposed from 2019 to 2022, and will ensure regulatory uniformity among the groups.

More experimental scales of guitar for metal
Are you a diehard fan of metal music and guitar? Or do you want to buy a double neck guitar to play metal? If yes, then you must wonder that metal guitar players like Kirk Hamett (Metallica), Marty Friedman (Megadeth), or Randy Rhoads (Ozzy Osbourne) sounds metal form guitar. Most of these people use the blues/pentatonic scale according to my exploration. Hey, don’t wonder about it, just read the article and find the scales for metal.
- Phrygian Dominant Scale
Phrygian Dominant Scale is very dramatic but the most famous exotic scale that produces one of the best sounds of metal. For this scale, the pattern repeats every two strings.
The notes of A Phrygian Dominant scale: A Bb C# D E F G. Note that with the same root, you can play this scale on any major chord which indicates by the scale contains the note of the A major chord (A C# E).
As I said, the pattern repeats every two strings. From the image, you can find that the left-hand fingers to use above the score (4-pinky, 3-ring, 2-middle, 1-index). On the 5th string, slide up your index finger and then play the Phrygian Dominant Scale.
- Lydian Scale
Lydian Scale is a favorite of Steve Vai, John Petrucci (Dream Theater) and Joe Satriani. Here, the A Lydian scale, made by the following notes: A B C# D# E F# G#.
Similar to the Phrygian Dominant scale, this scale also contains an A major chord, but the sound is entirely different.
- Hungarian Minor Scale
Less used than the Lydian Scale, but it is a favorite scale of many players due to its exotic oriental sound. Different from the above two scales, it contains an A minor chord (A C E) instead of an A major chord. The A Hungarian Minor scale notes are A B C D# E F G#.
This pattern requires a practice to play, but one can easily remember it and speed it up after stretch.
- Diminished Scale
Now, this is a different scale with eight notes instead of seven. The notes make the A diminished scale is: A Bb C C# Eb E F# G. The Diminished scale contains all of the following: an A minor chord (A C E), an A diminished chord (A C Eb) and an A major chord (A C# E), which makes it different from all of above. So with the same root, it is fit both a minor and a major chord.
You find that which scales your favorite guitar players uses for metal. Now pick a double neck guitar and start practicing these scales. The best way is to try these scales on a backing track, and then try to improvise some melodies on these patterns. When you attempt for the first time, you might feel scary or discourage, as you are new to this type of blues/pentatonic scale. But read the guide carefully and check images, it will surely help you.
