Mr Nice Guy Song

[Denisha Padley]

Sowhen my daughter was younger, she was asked by her guitar teacher to learn this to play this for a recital at a church where the young students were learning simple hymns to play. She was a probably 13 or 14 at the time and had been playing for several years so he decided to give her something to learn that was a little more challenging for her.

I am grateful for your honesty about this song that has been played up to be some fabulous religious piece, which is far from the truth! The melody is indeed haunting and beautiful, yet has been misrepresented.

I always thought this song was about surrender- moments of despair, or orgasm, or confusion, or wonder.

Those are moments that I feel closest to God, so I always felt like this Hallelujah expanded beyond joyous connotations made sense

you had a very major miss in this article, the idea of she broke your throne, she cut your hair reflects the idea of Samson and his wife trying to find out his weakness and when he eventually tells her his weakness she uses it against him and cuts off his hair so he may no longer be strong

David Medsker of PopMatters said "if there is a single moment where things fall seamlessly into place on Astronaut, it is 'Nice', a magnificent melding of Andy's power chords, Nick's wall of synths, and John's octave-jumping disco bass that recalls the best moments of Rio all rolled into one. It's not particularly complex, but neither was 'Hold Back the Rain', a fan favorite to this day. 'Nice' is simple in all the right ways and, like all good pop songs, it knows when to quit, with a cold ending at a mere three minutes and 27 seconds. The label is nuts if they don't release this as the second single."[1]

Renowned ornithologist Margaret Morse Nice (1883-1974) wrote this in the opening pages of her book The Watcher at the Nest (1939), which recounts her experiences studying song sparrows in her Ohio backyard in the 1930s. She conducted these groundbreaking studies at home while raising a family of five children.

The literature was rife with error. For example, through some sleuthing she discovered that much of the reported (and inaccurate) incubation times for American birds had been carried forward from author to author over the decades without critique.

The unique identities were made possible by the use of color bands that allowed her to mark each bird with a unique combination of bands. Celluloid color bands were already in use to mark chickens on poultry farms, but only a few halting efforts has been made to use the technique to study wild birds.

After reading a scientific article that reported on an experiment that used colored bands to individually mark chickadees and nuthatches, Nice immediately applied the technique to her backyard song sparrows.

The song sparrows in her backyard were engaged in a constant struggle to establish and maintain territories, while keeping a close eye on competitors and predators. Nice documented nearly every aspect of song sparrow life, from migration and survival to nesting biology.

Nice was determined to continue conducting scientific research. Initially, she studied her own young children and published papers on child development and language acquisition. She eventually returned to bird study, first by completing The Birds of Oklahoma (1924) in collaboration with her husband (and with her kids, who joined them on camping trips to do field work).

She balanced her time between research and responsibilities at home by being ruthlessly efficient in executing household chores. Establishing her song sparrow study site right outside her back door maximized her available research time.

While she was an outsider in the sense that she did not have a formal professional position and lacked funding to pursue her studies, Nice participated very actively in ornithological societies and meetings, was a power networker, and authored a regular feature in an ornithology journal that reviewed current literature. Over her career, she published at least 250 scientific articles including seven book-length research monographs.

I am so pleased to read this informative essay about Margaret Nice. I had always hoped that she would not be forgotten in this age of high tech biology. I had the good fortune to meet her when I was a young scientist and found her work inspiring. I sometimes wonder why more women who have scientific training but do not have a professional position in ornithology do not engage in some form of field research that requires minimal funding (but incredible dedication!).

And yes, you can turn down both yours and other mandachord volume to a zero. And of course now you also can't make it empty, with benefit of using it as if it would be maxed (THANKS, DE! Very helpful nerf!!)

I'm using What is Love? one (I think it was coming from the big Mandaccord topic linked above), I just... hate people with their frenetic music where you just need to spam a key one billion times to get the benefits. I find it easy with this one to get the bonus in 3 or 4 hits (most people don't know the faster the tune, the more syncs you need to get the buffs), and it's possible to listen without making your ears bleed.

It's still much easier to get buff by simply spamming. Stealth buff usualy can be get in 2-3 seconds of spamming crouch. In case of multishot even easier, just keep firing, and if there lots of notes - you guaranty will get buff pretty soon (opposing to sound with few notes, where you will just keep losing progress, and never getting buff). Same for melee buff.

With speed buff it's usualy worth just keep using bullet jump (which effectively will get you stealth buff as well).

"Reality is, to make mandachord effective, you have to put as many notes in it as possible."

I disagree with you. But I suppose this depends heavily on your playstyle.

Either you have a nice song and put in a little bit of effort to get your buffs or you fill all the notes and spam.

But really it's not that much effort. Why not enjoy the music?

I used the mallet and resonator for the sound and mute the spam. At least for your own music you can mute each section separately. Although I also have a song that you need 2 to get buff cause I prefer that.

The invader, puffed out into the shape of a ball, fluttered one wing straight up in the air. He sang constantly and softly, incomplete songs in rapid succession. The defender, silent, hunched his shoulders in a menacing attitude, closely following every move of his foe.

Seeing the world as animals do is impossible, yet scientists try to do it all the time. I am a researcher who studies the history of science to understand how we know what we know about nature. This paradox has been central to research in field biology, from the behavioral ecology of birds to the evolutionary biology of snakes.

Margaret Morse, born in Amherst, Massachusetts, in 1883, was an avid outdoorsperson all her life. As a student at Mount Holyoke College, she found her zoology classes stultifying, with a focus on dissection and taxonomy that defined natural history at the time. This changed when she enrolled as a graduate student at Clark University in 1907. Faculty encouraged her in experimental and observational studies of animal behavior, and she began to research the feeding habits of the bobwhite.

It was her research on the song sparrow near her home in Columbus, Ohio, in the 1920s and 1930s that cemented her reputation as a brilliant observer and analyst of animal behavior. Through observation and incorporating the novel use of colored leg bands to distinguish individual birds, Nice was able to determine the meaning of territorial behavior, to establish who was menacing whom and to what end.

Tilly is asked to do a rap song, which she's never heard of before, so Cricket tells her to "go hard and be intense". Listening to Cricket's advice, Tilly does her take on "Queen of Mean", renovating it as "Queen of Nice" and mentioning she was talking to a llama, to Cricket's confusion.

Peace is Nice is a song GIR writes and sings in Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus, in order to get the children of Earth that are wearing the Membracelets to hold their hands together in a complete chain around the world as part of Zim's plan to transport Earth across the universe and into the path of the Irken Armada.

Sound and its reception are crucial for reproduction, survival, and population maintenance of many animals. In insects, low-frequency vibrations facilitate sexual interactions, whereas noise disrupts the perception of signals from conspecifics and hosts. Despite evidence that mosquitoes respond to sound frequencies beyond fundamental ranges, including songs, and that males and females need to struggle to harmonize their flight tones, the behavioral impacts of music as control targets remain unexplored. In this study, we examined the effects of electronic music (Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites by Skrillex) on foraging, host attack, and sexual activities of the dengue vector Aedes aegypti. Adults were presented with two sound environments (music-off or music-on). Discrepancies in visitation, blood feeding, and copulation patterns were compared between environments with and without music. Ae. aegypti females maintained in the music-off environment initiated host visits earlier than those in the music-on environment. They visited the host significantly less often in the music-on than the music-off condition. Females exposed to music attacked hosts much later than their non-exposed peers. The occurrence of blood feeding activity was lower when music was being played. Adults exposed to music copulated far less often than their counterparts kept in an environment where there was no music. In addition to providing insight into the auditory sensitivity of Ae. aegypti to sound, our results indicated the vulnerability of its key vectorial capacity traits to electronic music. The observation that such music can delay host attack, reduce blood feeding, and disrupt mating provides new avenues for the development of music-based personal protective and control measures against Aedes-borne diseases.
