Atomic English - daily English sessions online
Hello, I'm Alex, an English teacher from London.
Atomic English is based on the idea that doing something tiny for your English every single weekday is the fastest way to get brilliant, fluent English.
- live sessions 10am - every weekday
- daily vocabulary quiz
- daily feedback and corrections on your speaking
- £50 month pass
https://www.englishwithalex.online/atomic-english
Learn new phrases, get corrections, build your confidence using tricky structures…every day.
The idea came from my own frustrations of learning languages (I study Italian and Portuguese).
"I’ll study for 2 hours tomorrow", I say to myself. When tomorrow comes I do nothing. I think it’s because I build up huge expectations in my mind and then feel overwhelmed by the thought of a 2 hour study session. If only I had lowered my expectations and committed to 30 minutes a day, I’d be fluent by now!
I see similar patterns with my students so that’s why I started Atomic English.
- you’ll build your vocabulary
- eliminate your mistakes
- get confidence
... every day (or at least as often as you can make it). These tiny, Atomic English will transform your English.
It’s £50 for a month pass there are sessions everday
https://www.englishwithalex.online/atomic-english
See you there!

Think Functionally
Come drink beer and learn about functional languages. Is a Pint Glass really the perfect metaphor for monads? Do side effects cause as many problems on the freeway as they do in a program? These answers and many more will be answered in each Beerly Functional meetup.
Music Makers ONLINE!!
Click on the below link and follow the steps to join. You can join from a computer, phone or tablet, computer has best audio usually. See tips below. To join Zoom Meeting

Meeting ID: 342 195 107
Password: musicmaker
A lovely session of music and song in a relaxed and supportive environment. All levels of musician and singer welcome. You can come and sing or play one song or just come and listen to the other members. Great way to build up your playing skills and build up your confidence.
To maintain our zoom and music maker accounts we request a €2 contribution. It is difficult to collect money for the online events so we are suggesting that if possible we could use revolut to transfer the €2 if you don't have an account I'm sure you know someone who could do the transaction for you. The host will identify the Revolut number on the night. If you don't have access to revolut it doesn't matter we will look at some other way to collect the €2 euro.
Zoom is not optimized for music, but we have tested it and think it's decent enough for a get together in the absence of a face to face meeting. Voice is better than instrument.
Zoom is pretty simple to get into and use. You don't need an account but if you want to test it out beforehand, you can get a free one by searching for it where you get your apps or downloading it on the web.
A few simple guidelines to ensure it runs smoothly.
1. Stay on mute while someone else is playing or singing. You can join in ONLY if you are on mute, because the delay over the internet does not allow simultaneous playing online.
2. When you are playing, stay as close to your device's microphone as possible for best results.
3. There are two views - Gallery view and Active Speaker view. Active speaker will put the video on the person singing, Gallery view will show everyone. You may have to search a bit to find each view, it is different on each device.
4. You can mute your audio and/or your video.
The host reserves the right to mute anyone whose line is causing audio interference.
5. There is an interesting option to record yourself first and then share it - the quality will be better.
In Zoom there's an icon called "Share Content", if you click that you get the option to share files on you Google Drive etc. I've just tried it out and it allows you to throw up pre-recorded audio and/or video files. These replace your video picture while they play. When they finish just hit the share content icon again and your video image comes back. So this might be an option for anyone to pre-recrord (good quality), load onto Google Drive, join a Zoom session and, when it comes to their turn, introduce their song and share the pre-recorded song from G Drive.
6. As mentioned above, Zoom is optimised for voice rather than music so it actually tries to filter out music thinking that it's background noise but that filter can be disabled but only on Windows and macOS as follows:
On the Zoom Home page on you laptop:
Click on 'Settings' (top right)
Then click on 'Audio' (left pane)
Then click 'Advanced' (bottom right)
Then tick the box at the top of the screen 'Show in-meeting option to "Enable Original Sound" from microphones'
Then, when you're on a call, a toggle switch appears at the top left of your screen "Turn on Original Sound".
Click that - it changes to "Turn off Original Sound" and you're done.
Preferred setup for anyone with an instrument might thus be:
1) Windows or macOS
2) Turn on Original Sound
3) Direct connect to router (rather than Wi-Fi)
Even better if you have a microphone connected via an audio interface device to your laptop/PC.
7. Don't forget your drink!

Contra dance with Big Scioty on March 7 - First Congregational Church
**Caller: Frank Buschelmann**
**Band: The Rosenthorns**
**Big Scioty Contra Dance**
**temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215**
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing!
Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor.
Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/)
Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!

The Gir With the Louding Voice Abi Dare
Columbus libraries: [https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3262835](https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3262835)
Location: [Knotty Pine Brewing](https://www.knottypinebrewing.net/)
[Menu, scroll to the bottom](https://www.knottypinebrewing.net/menus-1)
Book summary:
Adunni is a fourteen-year-old Nigerian girl who knows what she wants: an education. This, her mother has told her, is the only way to get a "louding voice" -- the ability to speak for herself and decide her own future. But instead, Adunni's father sells her to be the third wife of a local man who is eager for her to bear him a son and heir. When Adunni runs away to the city, hoping to make a better life, she finds that the only other option before her is servitude to a wealthy family. As a yielding daughter, a subservient wife, and a powerless slave, Adunni is told, by words and deeds, that she is nothing. But while misfortunes might muffle her voice for a time, they cannot mute it. And when she realizes that she must stand up not only for herself, but for other girls, for the ones who came before her and were lost, and for the next girls, who will inevitably follow, she finds the resolve to speak, however she can--in a whisper, in song, in broken English--until she is heard
