18 players to start or sit in fantasy football for Week 12
by Scott Davis- Each week, we’re listing players to start or sit in fantasy football.
- As always, these are less obvious choices – players whom fantasy owners might be on the cusp of starting or sitting.
- Here are our start ’em, sit ’ems for Week 11 of the NFL season.
- Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories.
Week 12 of the NFL season is here and we’re back with another start-sit for fantasy football.
We’re coming off a week where we hit on 50% of our picks, nailing almost all of our “sit” picks, but missing on most of our “start” picks.
We’ll look to rebound for Week 12, which is a big week on the NFL schedule. As usual, we try to pick less obvious choices – players whom fantasy owners might be on the cusp of starting or sitting.
Here are our start/sits for fantasy football in Week 12.
START: Baker Mayfield, QB
Team: Cleveland Browns
Week 12 opponent: vs. Miami Dolphins
Why you should start him: After a horrendous first half of the season, Mayfield is QB10 over the last three weeks, in part because he doesn’t have any interceptions. Miami’s effort has improved lately, but they still rank dead-last in defensive DVOA. Look for Mayfield and the Browns to keep rolling.
SIT: Jameis Winston, QB
Team: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Week 12 opponent: at Atlanta Falcons
Why you should sit him: Winston presents a high ceiling, but his interceptions make him a risk each week. He has 13 interceptions over the past five games, and the Falcons defence has come out of the bye with a vengeance while stealing wins over the Saints and Panthers.
START: Jeff Driskel, QB
Team: Detroit Lions
Week 12 opponent: at Washington Redskins
Why you should start him: Driskel has been viable in fantasy through two games. This week, he gets a Washington team ranked 28th in pass defence DVOA. Outside of Sam Darnold last week (QB7), Washington hasn’t allowed huge fantasy performances to quarterbacks, but with the Detroit run game up in the air, Driskel may look to throw a bit more than some previous quarterbacks.
SIT: Aaron Rodgers, QB
Team: Green Bay Packers
Week 12 opponent: at San Francisco 49ers
Why you should sit him: Rodgers’ performances have varied this season based on the script. Rodgers has had five games with one touchdown or less – three of them have come on days when Aaron Jones found the end zone on multiple occasions. So far, the 49ers’ pass defence has been better than their run defence, which means both Jones and Jamaal Williams could see increased touches. There’s no harm in playing Rodgers, but we’re not expecting him to finish as a top-10 quarterback this week.
START: Kareem Hunt, RB
Team: Cleveland Browns
Week 12 opponent: vs. Miami Dolphins
Why you should start him: Hunt has a role in the Browns offence. In two games, he’s had 11 and 12 touches, totaling 74 and 58 scoreless yards, both against strong defences in Buffalo and Pittsburgh. Hunt should be able to make the most of his touches this week against the Dolphins’ porous defence and perhaps even find the end zone.
SIT: Falcons running backs
Team: Atlanta Falcons
Week 12 opponent: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Why you should sit him: The Bucs still possess the No. 1 run defence by DVOA. With Devonta Freeman out, Brian Hill looked set to take the reins in Week 11. He had 15 carries for just 30 yards (he did have a touchdown called back). Qadree Ollison ended up getting Atlanta’s only rushing score of the day on one of his four carries. While Hill is getting the carries, he’s not efficient, and the Bucs even managed to stop Christian McCaffrey from scoring last week. Stay away from this backfield situation.
START: Jaylen Samuels, RB
Team: Pittsburgh Steelers
Week 12 opponent: at Cincinnati Bengals
Why you should start him: Samuels has a great matchup with the league’s second-worst defence if James Conner misses the game with a shoulder injury. Even if Conner plays, he’s likely to be limited, meaning Samuels could still be worth a start. The Bengals have given up either 100 yards rushing or a rushing touchdown to an opposing RB in every game this season.
SIT: Joe Mixon, RB
Team: Cincinnati Bengals
Week 12 opponent: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Why you should sit him: Mixon has seen his touches blow up since the Bengals’ bye, with 45 over the last two games. He scored his first rushing touchdown last week against the Raiders. However, the Steelers haven’t allowed a running back to top 100 yards all season.
START: Devin Singletary, RB
Team: Buffalo Bills
Week 12 opponent: vs. Denver Broncos
Why you should start him: Singletary has been one of the most efficient running backs in football the last four weeks, averaging 5.3 yards per touch. Denver has a strong defence, but six running backs this season have produced 80 total yards or more against them. With Singletary involved in both the run and pass game and Frank Gore losing touches, he has a chance for a big day.
SIT: Kalen Ballage, RB
Team: Miami Dolphins
Week 12 opponent: at Cleveland Browns
Why you should sit him: Ballage has been the most inefficient running back this season and one of the most inefficient running backs in NFL history. It’s nice that he gets the touches in Miami, and he saved fantasy owners last week with a touchdown in his nine-yard performance. But a game on the road, where the Dolphins are expected to trail, is not one to target.
START: Odell Beckham Jr., WR
Team: Cleveland Browns
Week 12 opponent: vs. Miami Dolphins
Why you should start him: In the first start/sit column of the year while explaining our method of choosing borderline players, I wrote, “This list avoids obvious players – of course, you’re going to start Odell Beckham Jr.” Now Beckham finds himself on the periphery of lineups as he’s slogged through a down 2019 season. So, we’re here to say: start him with confidence this week. Over the last four weeks, Beckham has been a top-20 receiver in yards and catches. If he had found the end zone in any of those matchups, the fantasy view of him would be much different. Beckham gets the Dolphins this week and the Bengals in Week 14. If he doesn’t break out now, it may never happen.
SIT: Terry McLaurin, WR
Team: Washington Redskins
Week 12 opponent: vs. Detroit Lions
Why you should sit him: Whether it is regression, the rookie wall, or the effect of Dwayne Haskins, McLaurin’s slump has now been as long as his strong first half of the season. McLaurin has 12 catches for 158 scoreless yards over the last four weeks. He still gets targeted by Haskins, and last week, he had a 67-yard catch called back, but he’s not having the same success with Haskins throwing the ball. He also has a tough matchup, as he will likely see Lions cornerback Darius Slayton in coverage on some routes.
START: Calvin Ridley, WR
Team: Atlanta Falcons
Week 12 opponent: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Why you should start him: As mentioned, the Bucs own a strong run defence, but their pass defence has been friendly to wide receivers. Ridley is coming off of an eight-catch, 143-yard, 1-touchdown game against the Panthers and should be in line for big numbers if the Falcons are forced to throw.
SIT: Brandin Cooks, WR
Team: Los Angeles Rams
Week 12 opponent: vs. Baltimore Ravens
Why you should sit him: Cooks is heading towards playing as he goes through concussion protocol. However, he’s missed essentially four weeks, as he was knocked out of Week 8 early with the concussion, had a bye in Week 9, and missed games in Weeks 10 and 11. We think it’s better to play it safe with Cooks, who was having a down season before the concussion anyway, and see how his role looks once he’s back on the field.
START: Allen Robinson, WR
Team: Chicago Bears
Week 12 opponent: vs. New York Giants
Why you should start him: Robinson has been a high-ceiling, low-floor fantasy receiver this season. The highs have been lines like 8-97-2 against the Raiders, the lows have been 1-6-0 against the Eagles in Week 9. Nonetheless, whether Mitch Trubisky or Chase Daniel is starting, Robinson has the chance for a big game against a vulnerable Giants pass defence. According to Mike Tagliere of FantasyPros, Robinson is set to face Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker, who is one of the worst graded corners in football.
SIT: Tyler Boyd, WR
Team: Cincinnati Bengals
Week 12 opponent: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Why you should sit him: Boyd has just one touchdown this season and hasn’t topped 65 yards the last five weeks. Last week, after receiving only three targets, Boyd griped about not getting the ball from quarterback Ryan Finley. Perhaps the Bengals force-feed Boyd this week, but the Steelers don’t present an easy matchup to do so. He’s a risky start, knowing he’s finished as a top-20 WR just twice this season.
START: Ryan Griffin, TE
Team: New York Jets
Week 12 opponent: vs. Oakland Raiders
Why you should start him: Since Week 6, Griffin is TE4 in fantasy, thanks to four touchdowns and three games with 50-plus yards. In that stretch, he’s also had two clunkers, games with just one catch for one yard and -2 yards. With tight end being what is, he’s still worth a shot, especially against the Raiders, who will be making an early start on the road.
SIT: Noah Fant, TE
Team: Denver Broncos
Week 12 opponent: at Buffalo Bills
Why you should sit him: Fant has been on the rise in recent weeks, but this week, he draws a brutal matchup against the Bills, who have all but shut down opposing tight ends this year. Fant has been getting a lot of targets but catching just 56% of them. That means he’d need a lot of targets to produce against the Bills.

PETE BELASCO Get It Together (Universal)
Very rarely will you find an album this hot that
combines soul & jazz; Pete Belasco has done just that. "Get It Together"
is faintly reminiscent of George Michael's & Michael Frank's dreamy,
soulful vocals with a dash of Georgie Fame's famous organ style thrown
richin. Sade lovers' will enjoy the silky smoothness of "Love Train". Th
blends of saxophones, organ & soft vocals create an ambience that is
almost unique to Belasco. Sit back with your coffee and let this sexy album
wash over you. Gazz
RENEE GEYER Sweet Life (BMG)
If in-case I had forgotten how strong and mesmerising
the smouldering emotion of Renee Geyer's husky voice is. The album 'Sweet
Life', not only reminded me once more that Geyer who was hailed in the
70's as Australia's First Lady of Soul/Funk was and still is one of the
finest voices that will ever grace my album collection. From the first
track Geyer's exceptional voice will draw you in, I turned up the volume,
poured a good $10.00 Red and joined in all the choruses. There
are 10 original tracks and a good cover of, 'I'm Gonna Make You Love Me'.
The most impressive aspect of this album is that four of the most powerful
songs on the album Geyer wrote herself, illustrating an emerging talent
that possibly derives inspiration from her songwriter friend Paul Kelly,
who co-produced this album with Joe Camilleri and has written and produced
some great numbers for Renee Geyer on this album and previously on the
CD, 'Difficult Woman', which he also produced. Carole Ritchie<EMAIL_ADDRESS>KAREN RAMIREZ Distant Dreams (Universal)
Anyone who has ever purchased "Café Del
Mar Cuatro" (Cuatro is Spanish for four) would have heard the delightful
vocals of Karen Ramirez. She reminds me of Sade & Anita Baker. Karen
opens with the Latin flavoured "Trouble Girl", that has sad & deep
meaningful lyrics. Next comes a little drum�n�bass with "More Than Words
Can Say". "Stormy Day" is a dreamy number that seems to float on forever.
"Lies" is one of the longest songs on "Distant Dreams" and is the key dance
track. Enter the Anita Baker sound alike with "If We Try". "New Reality"
is a song Sade should record! "Looking For Love" is the second single from
"Distant Dreams" that has a strong Summer flavour. "Maker Shaker" is both
strange & deep. "Wings" should be a single with its funky pop melody.
"People Make The World Go Around" is a Stylistics classic & one of
my favourites! Original cover wasn't available for this publication so
we have included the Japanese album cover instead. "Distant Dreams"
is a great debut album from Karen Ramirez and all I can pray for is MORE!

Tori Amos From The Choirgirl Hotel (Warner)
I've had a soft spot for the quirky red headed piano player- singer/songwriter
ever since hearing the single "Silent All These Years" from her Little
Earthquakes album. Now Tori Amos has made a very classy, more contemporary
record than any of her previous efforts to date. One can never be sure
whether she's playful girl next door or avenging angel! What ever it is,
she's passionate and animated in her devotion to her subject. From the
prickly self doubt of "Spark" to affirmations of strength to the suffering
in "Black Dove(January)",Tori wends her way through a gambit of emotions.
"Black Dove (January)" and another song called "Playboy Mommy" seem to make
allusions to the loss of a child. There are the usual references to the
illusions of love and happiness in songs like "Jackie's Strength", "Hotel"
and "Northern Lad". Tori abandons the minimalist approach of 1996s Boys
For Pele for a more industrial sound on From The Choirgirl Hotel. With
a lacing of ballads like the beautifully orchestrated "Black Dove (January)".
From The Choirgirl Hotel is produced by Tori and she provides some great
piano work here in. It's difficult to pick favourite tracks as each one
has something to offer. Kate Bush still seems to have an influence in Tori's
vocal style, especially on the driving "She's Your Cocaine". There's no
doubt that Tori Amos is still able to create inventive and thought provoking
music of a standard consistent with any of her past work. Micheil Reid
The Pretenders Viva El Amor! (Warner)
It's a gritty, riff driven rock� n' roll album
from the Diva of rock, Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders. Chock full of
jangley guitars and memorable melodies. There's a great live feeling to
this collection of recordings, keeping a balance between pop/ rock tunes
and ballads. Check out the catchy "From the Heart Down" a pretty love song.
Buffeting the more riffy tunes like "Popstar" the album opener and my favourite,
"Legalise Me". Another memorable moment is the Spanish sounding "Rabo De
Nube" a gentle ballad which for me paints romantic pictures of summer beaches
and sunsets. Of course the lyrics, when translated may not at all resemble
the image this song conjures for me. "One More Time" is a cool sixties
soul styled song that's worth a listen. Chrissie Hynde's vocals are as
confident as ever while the lyric content deals with the usual conflict
of relationships and domestic strife, to../pics with which we've become familiar
on previous Pretenders albums. Guitarist Jeff Beck makes an appearance
on this record, while Stephen Hague and Stephen Street divide up the production
duties. It's remarkable that after so many years of making records The
Pretenders can still pull out an album as constant as anything they've
done in the past, with the exception, perhaps, of Pretenders 1. It has
the same grit and determination as say, their Learning to Crawl or Get
Close albums. It's a lot better than some new albums by some old rock bands
I could mention. Micheil Reid
THE VENTURES Another Smash/The Ventures/ Surfing/The Colourful Ventures/
Twist With The Ventures/Twist Party Vol.2/ Mashed Potatoes & Gravy/Dance
Party (One Way Records)
The Ventures were one of the first and most influential of the guitar/bass/drums
rock combos that proliferated the airways in the early sixties, (rivalled
only by England�s Shadows). Formed in Seattle by Bob Bogle and Don Wilson,
they recruited guitarist Nokie Edwards and drummer Howie Johnston. In 1959
they recorded the classic "Walk Don�t Run", which became a world wide hit.
Throughout the 60�s, The Ventures were huge, particularly in Japan and
Europe, where the instrumental rock hits easily found a wanting audience,
(no lyrics). Now, available on CD are the original albums on a "2 on 1"
format with bonus tracks. The guitar rock instrumental has made a comeback
in recent years, Quinten Taratino used Link Wray�s "Rumble" & "Jack
The Ripper", and Dick dale�s surf classic "Misirlou" on the soundtracks
to "Pulp Fiction" & "Reservoir Dogs". Any budding guitarist could do
worse than listen to the licks in these re-releases from a classic instrumental
group of the 60�s. Norm Booker
JOSE PADILLA Souvenir (Universal)
Jose Padilla is the musical wizard who is responsible
for compiling the "Cafe Del Mar" series. Opening "Souvenir" is
"Orientation" that arouses memories of Cirque Du Soleil and Mark Isham�s
earlier works. "Orientation" has a interesting bass rhythm that creeps
in after a couple of minutes. "I Like Clowns" has appeared on a "Cafe
Del Mar" album and is a journey into minimalism. "Who Do You Love"
is a beautiful melody with a Latin flavour. "Blues For Ibiza" has a truly
melancholy atmosphere that is generated by Dave �Blues� Jeffs� harmonica
and guitar resonance. The Spanish influenced "Bossa Rosa" features flamenco
guitarist Paco Fernandez and trumpeter Nathan Bray. "Colega" absolutely
reeks of very enticing Middle Eastern haunting percussion. "Alive" features
the warm, sensual vocals of Angela John. "Train To Nottingham" is quiteambient,
that is reminiscent of Vangelis instrumentals. "After The Dance" is a sexy
jazz instrumental that has a sixties type ski-fi theme running through
it. The Bacharach classic "Close To You", that was made famous by The Carpenters
is included here and is given a Spanish face-lift. Concluding "Souvenir"
is "La Mer (The Sea)" that
is a gentle composition that sums up Jose�s passion for Ibiza. Gazz

BLUES & JAZZ
TOMMY CASTRO Right As Rain (Border)
"Right As Rain" opens with the brassy R&B "Lucky In Love", then
moves into the Memphis soul sound of "Like An Angel". The title track &
"Just A Man" send me flashbacks of the great vocal style of Delbert McClinton.
For a white man Tommy is gifted with a delightful black voice & this
comes to the fore with the Wilson Pickett influenced "Don�t Turn Your Heater
Down" that features vocalist Delbert McClinton, with Dr John on organ.
"I�ve Got To Love Somebody�s Baby" is pure soul & features Dr John
on piano. "If I Had A Nickel" is reminiscent of the early Savoy Brown (one
of my favourite UK blues bands). "Callin� San Francisco" & "Kickin�
In" are both quite jazzy. There will be no doubting Tommy�s talent for
executing great guitar licks after you have heard his chord changes during
"Chairman Of The Board". "Right As Rain" is soul/blues at it�s very best!
Gazz
SUSAN TEDESCHI Just Won�t Burn (Elite)
Susan launches into the rockabilly "Rock Me Right" from base one that
features the joint guitar wizardry of Sean Costello & herself. "You
Need To Be With Me" is a Tedeschi original & sounds like a young Bonnie
Raitt. One of my favourite Junior Wells songs "Little By Little" is given
a face-lift and features Annie Raines on harmonica. "Looking For Answers"
shows off a beautiful, moody side of Susan and also showcases her wicked
slide guitar playing. Susan�s rhythm guitarist Adrienne Hayes, who has
recorded with Ronnie Earl, wrote "Can�t Leave You Alone". Adrienne is not
only a great songwriter; she also plays dynamic lead on "Can�t Leave You
Alone". The title track is total soul! Next comes 2 classics, "Mama, He
Treats Your Daughter Mean" & Prine�s "Angel From Montgomery" that are
both welcome inclusions on "Just Won�t Burn" that showcase the depth and
the range of this delightful blues woman. Some real pure blues rounds of
this great album with "Friars Point" that was co-written by Susan�s drummer
Tom Hambridge. Gazz
MARIA MULDAUR Meet Me Where They Play The Blues
(Elite)
Maria�s voice is her trademark. Most of you would
have heard the Maria�s "Midnight At The Oasis" that became a 70�s classic.
Maria opens with the soft, Southern soul approach during Joe Green�s "Soothe
Me". "I wanna Be Loved" is pure jazz cabaret. Featured on "Gee Baby, Ain�t
I Good To You" is the legendary Charles Brown, and this may have been the
last studio recording that Charles was involved with as he died not too
long after. "It Ain�t The Meat, It�s The Motion" leaves you with no doubt
what this song is all about. The title track is pure New Orleans blues.
John Hiatt lovers will enjoy this rendition of John�s "It Feels Like Rain",
Maria performs it in such a way that takes you way down south. "Blues So
Bad" was written by Levon Helm (The Band) & anyone would think it had
been written especially for Maria. One of the down & out songs on this
album is "Misery & The Blues". Maria performs "He Don�t Have The Blues
Anymore" as a tribute to Johnny Adams & Charles Brown. Both are noted
for their contribution to the Louisiana music scene. "All To Myself Alone"
is one of my favourite blues songs that I remember hearing Ray Charles
performing when I was very young. As farewell tribute to Charles Brown
Maria loses "Meet Me Where They Play The Blues" with Charles� own song
"The Promised Land". This album is very melancholy, and also very well
recorded. With it�s many moods it will fill some gap in your collection.

ETTA JAMES Life, Love & The Blues (BMG)
Etta is famous for her renditions of "I�d Rather
Go Blind", "Tell Mama" and "At Last". In 1994 she made a comeback with
"Mystery Lady" that was a beautiful jazz tribute to Billie Holiday. Now
she is back in the blues with "Life, Love & The Blues" , and
Al Green�sEtta opens with Booker. T�s "Born Under A Bad Sign" that growls
"Here I Am" and Marvin Gaye�s "Inner City Blues" showcase the soulful side
of Etta�s voice. Etta then belts out Willie Dixon�s "Spoonful" & "Hoochie
Coochie Gal", that even challenges Koko Taylor�s and Muddy Water�s renditions.
Etta tells us just how much love you need to save your relationship during
Joe Tex�s "The Love You Save May Be Your Own". Etta saves the best for
last with Brook Benton�s "I�ll Take Care Of You", and this really shows
off the heart of this amazing woman. My personal favourite track on "Life,
Love & The Blues" is Johnny �Guitar� Watson�s "I Want To Ta Ta You
Baby" that is pure malt whiskey! This is Etta�s greatest album yet! Gazz
BRAD MEHLDAU Elegant Cycle (Warner Brothers)
State of the play from the top New York pianist.
This solo debut from the thinking bard of modern jazz is both plaintive
and profound. There are some big themes here; romanticism, history, lament.
All are united under the heading of Memory-collective and personal. �Bard�
(read Brad), which opens and closes the album, states and summarises the
themes while �Lament For Linus� neatly recaps Mehldau�s Art Of The Trio
series, recently completed. Each track stands alone but, like the cycle
of the title, the sweep and the depth is best appreciated if regarded as
a whole. This is a seamless journey through early-modern space and time-passionately
executed-and with not a little New York irony! Skilful, intense, thoughtful.
Its all here. Highly recommended.
Michael Berne The Study-Remuera.
FRED HERSH & BILL FRISELL Songs We Know (Warner)
Any project that Bill Frisell graces with his
presence will have humour and wit-the guitarist�s �pacific� style is legendary.
Somewhat more constrained here, the narrative duties of these familiar
standards is evenly shared with the pianist. Variously successful, harmonics
and (their) dynamics have a lot to do with the sound. The choice of notes
(and sounds) communicate an honest and simple approach. The two clearly
respect their material and the result is spontaneous and relaxed. "Blue
Monk" opens and proceeds with its own momentum. It is a joy. �Wave� is
a paean to its composer and �It Might As Well Be Spring� should be released
as a single! Otherwise, the common knowledge of these songs allows the
listener to enjoy both the familiar and the particular arrangement. Two
talented friends enjoying themselves. Recommended.
Michael Berne The Study-Remuera.
Brooklyn Funk Essentials: In The Buzz Bag (Elite)
Brooklyn Funk Essentials have been spreading
their "streetfunkjazzdub" sounds across the globe since 1993. Their 1995
debut album for RCA, "Cool, Steady and Easy," was critically acclaimed
as a ground-breaking recording. Their original blend of funk, jazz, soul,
reggae and ska has won a following which cuts across demographic lines
even as it sets a standard for acid -jazz. At the urging of legendary Atlantic
Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, Brooklyn Funk Essentials travelled to Turkey
for a huge concert and recorded In The Buzz Bag in collaboration with some
of Turkey�s most prominent musicians. The album, which is hotly anticipated
by their fans, takes their funk / groove-jazz / reggae sound one step further
by adding the sinuous sounds and textures of the Middle East - a unique
and funky mix.
Above are four additions to the 32Jazz series, and come highly recommended.
Each album has been compiled with a specific mood in mind and are very
reasonably priced.
Jazzman Garrett scores at Catalina
Kenny Garrett (Jazz; Catalina Bar & Grill,
Hollywood; 120 seats)
By Phil Gallo
HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - The approach is not unlike
that of a major league hitter who likes fastballs on the first pitch: the
action is immediate and the results often scintillating, the rare breathtaking
moment in a baseball game. The alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett stood sideways
to audience, whispered a count and bam! Like hitter smacking the ball toward
the bleachers, he and the band were off and running with abandon for 15
minutes on Herbie Hancock's ``One Finger Snap.'' Having come to prominence
in one of Miles Davis' later bands, Garrett, a consistent poll winner for
his alto saxophone playing, is a fireball in a live setting. On his recent
Warner Bros. outing, ``Simply Said,'' and the handful that preceded it,
by contrast, he stresses melody and coherence, venturing into the light
side of rap, funk and the music of John Coltrane. On this, the second set
of the second night, Garrett displayed a wondrous sense of invention as
he tackled Coltrane's ``Giant Steps'' with far more intensity than he did
on record, venturing unaccompanied with focus intact and showcasing his
band, particularly the light touch of pianist Nick Smith. Venturing into
his own compositions, Garrett began to simmer on numbers such as ``Charlie
Brown Goes to South Africa,'' which is exactly that -- Vince Guaraldi with
funky poly-rhythms -- and his spin on beat poetry, ``Back Where You Started.''
Garrett's key foil is drummer Marcus Baylor, who kept time within a flurry
of patterns that were sometimes too sprawling for the music while his solos
were welcome flights of hard-nosed drumming. But the evening got an added
spark when ace trumpeter Roy Hargrove approached the stage from the side
and began a duel with Garrett that continued through the final three numbers.
Hargrove clearly pushed Garrett without upstaging him, a demonstration
of the rewards only jazz can deliver when the musical environment is perfect.

ROLF JARDEMARK - Biography
"Jardemark is unable to resist his need to play jazz" - writes a critic
from the British Jazz Journal: After listening to the CD Guitarland
most everyone is inclined to agree. In the Danish 'Special Jazz' you find:
"Jardemark plays 'real' jazz guitar and has a delightful and warm sound".
Rolf Jardemark, born 1960 in Gothenburg, Sweden. Picked up the guitar around
the age of twelve. After a few years of self studies he enrolled at music
high school. The lively jazz scene of Gothenburg, with musicians as e.g.
guitarist Ulf Wakenius and the jazz club "Artdur" (now renamed "Nefertiti"),
made a strong impression. In 1977 Jardemark and fellow guitarist Per Hovensjö
founded a duo, still active today. After graduating from Gothenburg College
of Music in 1985, Jardemark has been seen in many different musical constellations;
such as jazz-rock groups, big bands, and "acid jazz." Rolf Jardemark has
recorded and performed together with Lars Danielsson, Erik Norström,
Michael Ruff, Bohuslän Big Band, Nils Landgren, David Wilczewski,
Al Harewood, Nils-Bertil Dahlander (Bert Dale), to name a few. Jardemark
has played most of the jazz clubs in Sweden, both with his own group and
as a side man. He appeared with Rune Gustafsson on the nationally televised
show "Jazzduellen" (The Jazz Duel) in 1994. The collaboration with Gustafsson
has continued since, both with a quartet and with Bohuslän Big Band.
Rolf Jardemark has released the following solo albums: Soft Landing (Liphone
LICD 3095), Jungle Crunch (Imogena CD 027), and Guitarland (IGCD 044).
The latter with Lars Danielsson on bass, and Anders Kjellberg on drums.
"Guitarland" received great reviews both in Sweden and abroad. Jardemark´s
new CD "Further Adventures in Guitarland" (Imogena CD 067) was released
in -97 with Yasuhito Mori on bass, and Terje Sundby on drums. Guest appearances
on some cuts by Thomas Gustafsson on saxophone, and Erik Gullbransson vocals.
In addition to his own group, Jardemark is also a member of Jan Zirk Quartet.
String Jazz, Nov 1996 - Five Stars. Considering the size of the country
(or maybe the size of population), Sweden keeps on producing some fine
jazz guitarists. From the superb Rune Gustafsson through to Ulf Wakenius
and Peter Almqvist and now a new name - that of Rolf Jardemark. Jardemark
comes from the school of Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell and Pat Martino
and you can heartraces of of each of these fine players on this CD (Burrell
on Linneus, Wes of course on Four on Six and Martino particularly on There´s
no greater love). But Jardemark is his own man (you might expect this with
the above mentioned as his spiritual mentors) - tasteful, melodic, always
probing. From the hard edged post bop of No Time to Waste, he sinks into
a fine finger-style rendition of the lovely In a sentimental mood. With
the rock solid and swinging supprt of the superb bassist Lars Danielsson
and drummer Anders Kjellberg, Jardemark shows on this CD that Europe has
produced yet another fine jazz guitarist in the mainstream tradition. A
very fine CD indeed and a must for anyone in this style.*****
Mike Stern
Give and Take, Atlantic CD 83036-2, 1997
Stern guitar lessons
Mike Stern returns to the straightahead work
he demonstrated on Standards (1992) and, like that record, he proves again
that he�s one of the most imaginative and exciting of contemporary guitarists.
He�s already shown that he�s more than a match for most of the fire-breathing
fusion guitar players out there, but he doesn�t relax or retreat on this
album. The eleven cuts feature seven originals and covers of Coltrane ("Giant
Steps"), Hendrix ("Who Knows") and the bebop standard "Oleo." Tellingly,
the two ballads, "Everything Changes" and "Rooms," are particularly fine.
He�s got stellar company on this session: drummer Jack DeJohnette swinging
his butt off, John Patitucci playing upright bass only, and guest appearances
that sound like a reunion of Berklee Class of �80-something: Michael Brecker,
David Sanborn and Gil Goldstein. Stern�s got a richly chorused tone that
could be overdone in the wrong hands, but comes off as a singular and absolutely
correct voice in his hands. You have to dig the way he gets right to the
point of a song, then starts to bend and hammer to get the outside notes
when he solos. This guy has chops, no doubt about it. But he comes across
to casual listeners, too. I was playing this album at work and a woman
stopped by to hear more. She�s not usually a jazz fan, but she dug this
music. A lot of guitarists know about Mike Stern. This record will let
them know that he can�t be typecast as a fusion slinger and he�s certainly
not one of the Joe Pass wannabees. It should also introduce him to a wider
audience who will dig his sound and his songs. He deserves it.�Gerry Lenocker

PLAYING BY HEART/original soundtrack album
(Universal)
"No matter how many times one has done it--and
I've done over 80 pictures now--it doesn't make any difference: the most
favourite part is when you've finished writing in detail for several weeks
and you have maybe an hour's music that nobody's ever really heard before--except
for bits and pieces--and then you go into the studio at 10 o'clock on Monday
morning or whatever it is. There are 70 or 80 of the finest musicians.
 It's the
best feeling. That and sex, and I don't know which comes first." So said
British film composer John Barry--born in York but long a resident of New
York--a couple of years back. I'd bet that the position hasn't changed.
Famous for his lush, sweeping (and Oscar-winning) scores for films such
as "Out of Africa" and "Dances With Wolves," Barry's original fondness
for jazz has deeply influenced efforts like "The Cotton Club," "Body Heat,"
and more lately Barry's soundtrack for the IMAX film "Across the Sea of
Time." Latest out is another movie track, that for "Playing By Heart,"
an interesting-sounding 1990s relationships piece with a definitely interesting
cast. Included are Sean Connery, Gena Rowlands, Gillian Anderson, Dennis
Quaid and Madeleine Stowe. This is also an album with crossover appeal
to a jazz audience--especially fans of legendary trumpeter Chet Baker who
sounds superb in three astonishingly restored standards: "Tenderly," "You
Go To My Head'" and "These Foolish Things." These were taped in Paris,
1956. As for the orchestral cues, they are quintessentially John Barry
at his very best--perfectly arranged, extremely atmospheric in a wistfully
romantic mode and, yes, sexy. "John Barry connects with the film in a very
personal way," says writer-director Willard Carroll, wisely pressing the
point: "You can only talk about the music so far and then your gut has
to take over." Mark Knowles

"A Midsummer Night�s Dream" Soundtrack
Music by Simon Boswell, with excerpts from works
by Mendelssohn, Donizetti, Puccini, Verdi, etc. DECCA 4660982
Updating Shakespeare�s play of adolescent love
to Tuscany at the turn of the century opens up the work to a time and period
where opera was the main form of relaxation. The soundtrack album comes
as a more general opera collection than an original score recording. Drawn
from the vast Decca catalogue the voices of Luciano Pavarotti and Renée
Fleming mix and mingle with a lush and slightly quirky score by Simon Boswell.
Combining elements and instruments from ancient traditions he has assembled
an appealing score that grows on rehearing. A shame all is spoilt by the
opera tracks, which tend to pull the listener away from the beauty of the
original music. So who would buy the CD? Lovers of the film? Yes. Lovers
of opera? Hardly. Lovers of film music? Maybe. Lovers of Simon Boswell?
Sure. Mel
*** 3 stars (out of five)
Villa-Lobos � String Quartets 2, 12 & 16
Cuarteto Latinamericano
DORIAN 93179
The three quartets included in this fourth volume
of the series represent not only a wide chronological panorama, having
been written in 1915, 1950 and 1955, but also an interesting geographic
variety, considering they were composed in Rio de Janeiro, New York and
Paris.
Elegant and inventive, the works are much influenced
by Brazilian folksong, yet they adhere to tradition by each having four
movements apiece. Apparently simple, the development becomes rich and complex.
Each blooms with colour and rhythm and the Cuarteto Latinamericano are
obviously passionate about their material. The recording is both crisp
and airy. The sound might be a little too close for some tastes, but it
does serve to highlight the vibrant textures of the music.
Highly recommended
Review by Michael Byrne
Benjamin Britten: Double Concerto and other works
Gidon Kremer, Yuri Bashmet, Nikolai Lugansky,
Hallé Orchestra. Kent Nagano.
ERATO<PHONE_NUMBER>
The four works featured were written in Benjamin
Britten�s early youth and show us a composer who was quite open to experimentation
and innovation. Most of the music is finding its way onto CD for the first
time and it is quite an honour that the recording is first-rate treating
the listener to some wonderful playing by not only the distinguished soloists
but by the Hallé Orchestra conducted by Kent Nagano as well. The
opening work "Young Apollo" is a delight with some catchy syncopated playing
especially by the solo piano. The Double Concerto is more serious with
a lot of romantic wallowing by the two soloists. The Two Portraits are
gently expressive and the CD ends with the original version of the Sinfonietta
Op 1. Mel
***** 5 stars (out of five)
John Field: Piano Concertos 2 & 4
Benjamin Frith. Northern Sinfonia. David Haslam
NAXOS 8553771
Dublin born (1782) teacher, pianist and composer
John Field led a bit of a debauched life especially in his later years
while living in Russia. He drank too much, was careless with money, had
an illegitimate son and suffered from ill health. Still, as a pianist,
he had a wide reputation and now his music is becoming more and more popular.
All his concertos are light and delicate. Benjamin Firth plays the fast
movements �straight� saving emotion for the slow middle sections. The recording
is ideally balanced although the piano is, on occasions, a bit harshly
miked. Great value for money � especially as the alternatives are all top
price. Mel

ARMIK Isla Del Sol (Elite)
Armik is an exceptionally talented acoustic guitarist who in my opinion runs circles round Ottmar Leibert. If you doubt my word have a listen, I think you�ll be convinced. What�s more he doesn�t repeat the same melodies from album to album. This is pure sunshine music as the title implies. Gazz

The creativity has never stopped; Africa remains home to one of the most
vibrant and influential music scenes in the world.
BLEECKER STREET Various Artists (Elite)
A tribute to the great folk artists of the sixties
No one will argue that Greenwich Village is still
the centre of musical civilisation, as it appeared to be in the early to
mid-60s. However, there remains a vital scene in New York�s once-thriving
folk mecca, thanks to a number of talented artists who are keeping the
heritage alive. This one-disc compilation honours the singers and songwriters
who started the folk revival - Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel,
Phil Ochs, Judy Collins, Leonard Cohen, and the other usual suspects -
with covers of songs written by and/or associated with them. The participants
range from "neo-folk" figures like Jonatha Brooke, Suzanne Vega, Loudon
Wainwright III, and Iris DeMent to rockers Chrissie Hynde, Black 47, and
Marshall Crenshaw. Highlights include the Wainwright/ DeMent duet "Pack
Up Your Sorrows" (originally by Richard & Mimi Farifia), Black 47�s
feisty reading of the Ochs anthem "I Ain�t Marchin� Anymore", Ron Sexsmith�s
version of Tim Hardin�s "Reason To Believe", and John Cale�s take on Cohen�s
"So Long, Marianne", which features vocals by Vega. A contemporary look
at one of this country�s most important musical movements.

Méav caught the public�s attention as

a dazzling role in the hit show, Riverdance. Her debut album, simply entitled
Méav, marks a new departure for this amazing young talent. She has
been described as a "remarkably fine singer whose flawless technique makes
the most technically difficult passages sound ridiculously easy and natural
. . . utterly beautiful."
ALI FARKA TOURE: Niafunké (Elite)
This is Ali Farka Toure�s first new album in
five years, since "Talking Timbuktu" (recorded with Ry Cooder). It was
recorded in Ali�s village, Niafunké, which sits on he banks of the
River Niger on the edge of the Sahara Desert in central Mali. "Deep Mali,
as Ali calls it "where the music belongs." "I know all the western tunings
but they are no good to me at all. You can call it the African blues -
and I know where he blues comes from - but me it�s just the music of my
people."
LOS ZAFIROS: Bossa Cubana (Elite)
Formed in 1962, Los Zafiros were a vocal quartet augmented by the guitarist
and arranger Manuel Galvan. Originally inspired by American vocal groups
such as The Platters and The Coasters, they soon added their own Cuban
flavour to create a unique and heady mix of doo-wop, ballads and baléros,
soul and samba, tumbaos and twists. They disappeared almost as rapidly
as they had risen but were never quite forgotten in their native Cuba

The Fifth Element
Director; Luc Besson.
Producer; Columbia Pictures/ Gaumont. Running time; 123 mins aprox.
DVD video, Region 4
Luc Besson takes us on a roller coaster come magic carpet ride in this
snappy, inventive movie. Lavished with inspired special effects and driven
by a well conceived plot, The Fifth Element is a wrapping full of action
and atmosphere. Drawing it's images from movies like Blade Runner and Star
Wars. Bruce Willis (Pulp Fiction, 12 Monkeys) plays a down and out cab
driver in the twenty-third century that in the course of a normal day encounters
the Supreme Being, Leeloo, played by Milla Jovovich (Return to the Blue
Lagoon, Chaplin, Dazed and Confused). She's a stunning, sexy red head who
in the process of saving the world, manages to get herself into as much
trouble as Korben Dallas, the character Willis plays.  There are allusions
to Indiana Jones here in the movies opening scenes and moments of true
tongue firmly in cheek comedy. Eric Serra provides a superb soundtrack,
enhancing a mix of rock with classical music. It's worth while checking
out especially for the inclusion of an aria from Gaetano Donizetti's "Lucia
di Lammermorr" performed by Diva Plava Laguna, played by Mawenn Le Besco.
The Diva's vocals performed by Inva Mulla Tchanko, accompanied by the London
Symphony Orchestra. It's one of my favourite moments in the movie and on
the soundtrack album. The DVD format of this film is second to none. Crisp,
clear picture quality in tandem with rich, vibrant sound. Plenty of rumble!
If you like you can go to the language menu and select the French language
option and hear the dialogue in French while reading English subtitles.
Also the credits scroll up in French in the opening sequence. Take it from
me, this movie is well worth spending forty odd dollars on. Micheil
Reid
Dark City
Director; Alex Proyas, Released by New Line Cinema, Distributed by
Village Roadshow, Region 4 DVD
Alex Proyas directs a competent cast in a chilling psychological thriller:
A mystery, of mind boggling proportions.
John Murdoch,played by Rufus Sewell (Hamlet) wakes up in a bath with
no memory of where he's been or what he�s done. He finds himself embroiled
in a murder mystery in which he�s the principle suspect. Living in
a city cloaked in perpetual darkness he unravels a past both perplexing
and haunting. William Hurt, (Lost In Space, The Accidental Tourist) plays
the hard nosed Inspector Frank Bumstead, charged with solving the murders
and bringing in the bad guy, lead in a chase full of twists and turns
that culminate in a very strange conclusion indeed. Drooling with atmosphere
and an intriguing plot, Hurt and Sewell are joined by Kiefer Sutherland
(The Three Musketeers, A Time To Kill) who plays the sinister Dr. Daniel
Poe Schreber and Jennifer Connelly (Labyrinth, Mulholland Falls) who is
Murdoch�s wife. All this is played out amongst �the Strangers�, who�s dark
purpose is unknown to the city�s inhabitants, who, in a night, might
live a whole life unaware of their true predicament.
This DVD comes as an excellent transfer, crisp picture quality, despite
the fact that much of the action takes place in almost darkness. There
is no colour bleeding and suffers virtually no back ground graininess in
the dark, city street scenes. Lavished with a stunning soundtrack (Check
out the performance of �The Night Has A Thousand Eyes� in the nightclub
sequence, it�s a treat! Micheil Reid

- In the photo, Moroccan (who goes by Rocky) is wearing a Deadpool mask. Carey explained in the photo's caption that Rocky "snuck up" on the "unsuspecting couple" to get the picture.
- Reynolds was just as starstruck as Rocky though and described the encounter as a "vision board" moment in a comment on the post.
If hanging out with Mariah Carey on your bucket list, then you and Ryan Reynolds have something in common. This weekend, Reynolds' "vision board" moment, as he described it, came true, thanks to Carey's son.
Carey shared a photo of herself and her twins, Moroccan and Monroe, posing with Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, on Instagram Sunday and it's everything.
In the photo, Moroccan (who goes by Rocky) is wearing a Deadpool mask and striking a tough pose in front of Reynolds, who, of course, stars as the wise-cracking anti-hero in the Deadpool franchise.
"Rocky snuck up on an unsuspecting couple wearing a Deadpool mask," Carey wrote in the photo's caption. "Will they ever recover? 😉💖."
The feeling of awe was totally mutual, Reynolds revealed in the photo's comments section.
"Whoa," he wrote. "My vision board became a photo." The good humans at Comments by Celebs captured the note for posterity.
Excuse me, I have to go make a vision board immediately.

There are two premade div
in this document that will hold your visualizations. The first one has id vis1
, the second one has vis2
. Write your explanation and analysis close to each of your visualizations.
Your first visualization goes here:
Your second visualization goes here:
1. The dataset that we choose was regarding the total number of covid-19
cases and deaths in countries all around the world, however to be able to
not overcrowd the graphs we choose the top 40 highest covid-19 cases. The dataset
provides details regarding the country, covid-19 cases, covid-19 deaths and region
specific to the country.
Countries where COVID-19 has spread
2. The bar chart is an appropriate visual encoding for the first visualization
because the x-value which is country is a categorical data and the y-value
for covid-19 cases are quantitative, so it makes sense to create a barchart
to illustrate this. However, while the second visualization is a line chart and
shouldn't have used an categorical value for the x-axis, we felt that
showing both the covid-19 death cases and covid-19 cases on this dataset
provided an insightful outlook that the death resulting from the virus wasn't
that significant.
3. The colormap that we used for the two vizualization are static, because
we wanted our viewers to have a clean and simple design that reveals the stark
impact covid-19 had on our world.
4. The designs that we choose are mostly simple designs as we wanted to
provide overview first of the impact covid-19 had on these 40 countries. We
choose the color red for the cases since red is closely related to danger, which symbolizes
how dangerous Covid-19 was. On the second visuzalition, we choose the color
black to represent the death caused by the Coronavirus, because black is the
color that we normally wear when mourn the dead.
List here where any code, packages/libraries, text, images, designs, etc. that you leverage come from.

View my UX work
I don't have a typical process or approach that I use for every project. A lot of the times I do what makes the most sense for the project (out of my UX toolkit), and what will be the most useful to others in the end. With a few exceptions:
- Personas, which I realize they're somewhat controversial in the industry, and unfortunately the developers here don't take them too seriously (I'm working on that!) Even if it's just me that looks at them I think they're helpful for my own design, especially while writing scenarios or storyboarding. If I'm stuck, just being able to picture the user in the system often sparks new ideas and generates new perspectives. So I'll continue using (and advocating for) them.
- Literature research, I try to find academic articles, via Google Scholar or the ACM Database. Although this practice will likely stop once I'm not at the library or in school, because to be honest I normally don't find very much actionable information. I just like to know I'm covering all of my bases!
- Comparative research, usually throughout the entire design process. At the beginning of a project it's good to know what else is out there - who has solved this problem well? Also to start with listing and comparing features. When I get stuck, I can usually get inspiration by seeing how other sites handle problems (and why reinvent the wheel?)
Otherwise, it probably makes more sense for me to talk about some of the projects I've worked on, and the deliverables produced over the course of the project:
Library Website Information Architecture
This is my current project, so I can only talk about my process so far. It is a fairly daunting project with some pretty big challenges - the library has never had any IA work, from what I can tell. Our librarian who was responsible for the website content retired a few years ago, we tried in vain to replace him, and all the while a lot of the content grew outdated and new content was added by many different people but the rest of the site was never pruned.
Among the many issues (/problems/challenges?) I'm tackling:
- SEO problems - a lot of pages are no longer linked on the website but remained for google to see. As a result we have a lot of outdated policies and other information showing up when they shouldn't be.
- Strong content ownership for groups within the library - many diverse groups throughout the library have invested a lot of time and effort putting together this information. Vesting them in changes towards a user centered design takes a lot of time.
- Lack of content ownership for other pieces within the site, and through server configuration unable to identify even who has updated pages, in most cases
- Content - A lot of content (over 500 pages worth!)
- In addition to strong content ownership, there are some stakeholders who think the site works fine as it is.
My first task was to write a project proposal/plan, which outlines my planned activities. I also wrote up a purpose statement, which aligns to the library's mission and vision, and as a way to drive my approach to the project.
Because of the sheer number of stakeholders I created a meeting plan/strategy, an introduction to IA handout, and many different content inventory spreadsheets for each area. This is still in the early stage of the project, I'm currently performing card sorts and analyzing google analytics data.
Digital Exhibits
This is another ongoing project - in which we will be developing software that allows curators within special collections and rare books to create online exhibits and collections.
My process for this project:
- Literature Review
- Comparative Analysis
- Initial information gathering meetings with stakeholders (we had ten such meetings)
- Analysis/Coding/Tagging (I ended up writing a Google Docs plugin which allowed me to "tag" and categorize things that came up in the stakeholder meetings)
- Worked with others on the team to create a post-it note affinity diagram of what came up in the interview
- The affinity diagram led to a feature matrix
- Meeting with stakeholders also led to (provisional) personas
- My next to-do is to create scenarios and work on sketches with the developers, guided by our user analysis
Father Hesburgh Digital Archives
This is my most recent completed project at the library - a pilot project for building a website about Father Hesburgh's role in the Civil Rights era.
The most notable challenge about this project is that the primary audience is for potential donors (think "flashy"), but it is intended to serve as a scholarly research tool.
Presentation to upper management
Note: Mockups (p. 16-20) were done by a coworker, and the template design is a library standard, otherwise the content is mine
Full final report
CurateND Project
CurateND is an institutional repository project that has been ongoing by another team within my organization. I've been asked to provide occasional UX design on a consultative basis for them, including "Responsive-izing" their design.
Axure Share Prototypes: http://fxx75m.axshare.com (unfortunately at some point in upgrading Axure my responsive template bungled up)

A React component that uses the Speech Synthesis API to read text out loud by sentence or word while the user follows along with their mouse or finger
The easiest way to use Readalong is to install it from NPM and include it in your own React build process (using Browserify, Webpack, etc).
You can also use the standalone build by including dist/react-readalong-component.js in your page. If you use this, make sure you have already included React, and it is available as a global variable.
npm install react-readalong-component --save
The component provides a single React element, Readalong
, that takes three properties and some text
content. The properties of lang
and delimiter
can be provided as attributes. The property
voiceName
should be passed after the browser registers the available Speech Synthesis voices. The
browser will use its default voice until a valid, different voice is passed. The component will attempt to choose a
default voice based on the passed lang
property, but this is hit-or-miss.
The output of the component receives three classes for use with styling. The outer wrapper has the class,
readalong
. Every readable phrase is wrapped in a span with the readalong-phrase
class.
While a phrase is being spoken, the corresponding span also receives a readalong-active
class. This
can be used, as in the examples below, to keep the phrase highlighted after the user moves off or releases her
finger.
It is advisable to make the font size as large as possible for the contents of a Readalong element. This is
especially true if the delimiter is set to word
.
This component depends on two experimental, draft APIs: Pointer Events and Speech Synthesis.
As of July 12, 2015, the Web Speech API is still an unofficial proposal. As such, right out of the box this component will only work in about half of all browsers. Those include recent versions of Chrome, Opera, and Safari. Ostensibly, iOS Safari is supported, but Speech Synthesis seems to work in that browser only sporadically. All other browsers will need a polyfill. There is no polyfill for Speech Synthesis currently installed on this demonstration page.
Again, as of the time of this commit, the Pointer Events API is very poorly supported across all browsers. Only IE and very late version Firefox have implemented it. There's no getting away without a polyfill for Pointer Events. They power the cursor/finger recognition. Fortunately, Google/jQuery have put together a fantastic polyfill called PEP, which is providing cross-browser capability for this page. It does not require jQuery as a dependency.
This component intentionally does not include polyfills. There are many polyfill options, and the one you choose
will depend on the needs of your project. The component also intentionally does check whether the Speech Synthesis
API is available. Readalong assumes that both window.speechSynthesis
and the
SpeechSynthesisUtterance
object are available, and that they are up-to-date with the unofficial
proposal.
The constants, regular expressions, and punctuation encoding used in this project were originally lifted from Blast.js, built by Julian Shapiro. These have been modified to fit the particular requirements of this project, including the addition of the Chinese punctuation.
This delimiter and voice selection form that is shown in some of the following examples is not
included in the Readalong component. Consult the DelimitedParagraph
component in the
examples directory for ideas about implementing something similar in your app.
Hover over or tap any word to hear it read out loud by your browser. The speech will continue even if the user moves away or releases her finger.
<Readalong lang="en-US" delimiter="word">
There once was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She was underwater on her mortgage. What would she do?
</Readalong>
Readalong will ignore any text wrapped in an element with the silent
attribute.
<Readalong lang="en-US" delimiter="word">

This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-
word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous.
Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The
sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear
demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length,
and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant
rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use
sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the
reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of
considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and
builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the
drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to
this, it is important.

Gary Provost

</Readalong>
Readalong can process multiple blocks of text in the same component. Attributes on those inner elements will be passed through to the final output.
<Readalong lang="en-US" delimiter="word">

In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God. <span data-
<verse="2">The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made through him.
Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
In him was life, and the life was the
light of men. The light shines in
the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.

There came a man, sent from God, whose
name was John. The same came as
a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all
might believe through him. He was
not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the
light. The true light that
enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

</Readalong>
Readalong supports any language that uses European or Chinese punctuation marks and is also supported by the browser's Speech Synthesis API.

En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme,
no ha mucho tiempo que vivía un hidalgo de los de lanza en
astillero, adarga antigua, rocín flaco y galgo corredor. Una
olla de algo más vaca que carnero, salpicón las más noches,
duelos y quebrantos los sábados, lentejas los viernes, algún
palomino de añadidura los domingos, consumían las tres partes
de su hacienda. El resto della concluían sayo de velarte,
calzas de velludo para las fiestas con sus pantuflos de lo
mismo, los días de entre semana se honraba con su vellori de
lo más fino. Tenía en su casa una ama que pasaba de los
cuarenta, y una sobrina que no llegaba a los veinte, y un mozo
de campo y plaza, que así ensillaba el rocín como tomaba la
podadera. Frisaba la edad de nuestro hidalgo con los cincuenta
años, era de complexión recia, seco de carnes, enjuto de
rostro; gran madrugador y amigo de la caza. Quieren decir que
tenía el sobrenombre de Quijada o Quesada (que en esto hay
alguna diferencia en los autores que deste caso escriben),
aunque por conjeturas verosímiles se deja entender que se
llama Quijana; pero esto importa poco a nuestro cuento; basta
que en la narración dél no se salga un punto de la verdad.

Spurs sack Pochettino: Other clubs would have built him a statue, says Crouch
by BeSoccerMauricio Pochettino might have been honoured with a statue at another club but got sacked by Tottenham, said Peter Crouch.
Former Tottenham striker Peter Crouch was "flabbergasted" by Spurs sacking Mauricio Pochettino, claiming other clubs would have rewarded him with a statue.
Pochettino and his coaching staff dismissed on Tuesday with Tottenham winless in their past five Premier League matches and sitting 14th.
But the former Southampton boss led Spurs to their first Champions League final in June, overseeing incredible victories against Manchester City and Ajax before missing out on the trophy to Liverpool.
Crouch, who came through Tottenham's academy and played for the club between 2009 and 2011, could not believe how quickly Pochettino's achievements had been forgotten.
"I'm flabbergasted by Tottenham's decision," ex-England star Crouch wrote in the Daily Mail.
"I know results have been poor and I understand why the top teams act when their potential to qualify for the following season's Champions League is in jeopardy, but it is ridiculous to think Pochettino has suddenly lost his spark.

"He led Tottenham into the Champions League final on June 1. Some clubs, who aren't accustomed to that stage, would build a statue for a manager who took them to the biggest game in club football.
"But all Pochettino has got is his marching orders. I fear it is a decision Tottenham will regret."
He added: "[Pochettino] was the best thing that had happened to them for 20 years. Good luck to them if they think they can find someone better.
Since his statement, Jose Mourinho has replaced Pochettino at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
