What kind of music besides metal do most metal fans enjoy? It seems a lot of musicians enjoy indie and normal rock (pretty predictable) but what is the norm? Old school hip hop seems quite popular among some metal fans too.
I used to be my dad's best teammate. 80s and 90s heavy metal used to be my number one because it was (and still is) his.Coming second after heavy metal, is all kinds of rock music, from the 80s to 2015. We are also the liberal rock music lovers and it turns out that we're not the only ones.Many of the guys I know who love metal either stick with only metal and nothing else (the devoted die-hards) or shift slightly to rock. But bottom line, it's still around the dark area.So my kind of music also ranged from Judas Priest to Good Charlotte. Good Charlotte was the borderline and I never crossed it.Yet oddly, somehow...I developed a profound love for romantic adult contemporary songs in high school. At first it were Celine Dion, Phil Collins, Whitney Houston, Peter Cetera, Bryan Adams..Then it grew even older and more mellow over the courses. Think Righteous Brothers, Frank Sinatra, and Etta James.I remember once during our Saturday morning work out routine in the house, where I usually run on treadmills and he lifts while playing some songs on speaker, Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth was playing. Before I went on the treadmill, I changed it into Say a Little Prayer by Aretha Franklin.My dad accidentally dropped his dumbles, turned to me and said:"Who are you and what have the devils done to my daughter?!"Reading your question made me realize that maybe there is some type of norm for metal heads. And listening to lovey-dovey love songs is definitely not one of them.
How do teachers tell plagiarism from essays that just look similar?
Like several posters have suggested in this thread, changes in style from the student’s voice is a dead giveaway. Sometimes, that might be dramatic changes in punctuation and sentence structure from the students’ earlier essays or earlier parts of the same paper.Sometimes, in freshman composition papers, it is the use of advanced terminology that I wouldn’t expect in an 18-year old. (For instance, in a freshman composition paper based on their personal experiences, I wouldn’t expect to find references to typological readings, as most 18-year olds have no idea what medieval typology is.)In my own case, I have a little bit of background in linguistics, so it’s a dead giveaway when one of my students who speaks in class with Appalachian dialect traits submits a paper with linguistic markers that I would expect in a speaker from New Jersey or London, and that leads me to check the paper more closely.Whether a student calls the same outdoor activity, hiking, camping, ambling, or wood-walking is a bit of diction that links them to specific regions. The same is true for dash box, glovebox, or jockey box as a term to apply to the part of a car where you store the owner’s manual, or whether the student drinks pop, soda, fizzy water, carbonated bevs, or “cokes” as a generic term for all brands. When a student points out a yellow jacket swarm in the classroom, did the students call them bugs, pests, insects, stingers, wasps, or use the common Appalachian word waspers? If so, did the student’s word choice indicate a dialect that matches what I see in this particular paper?That diction sings out on the page as I read it. Out of four classes and maybe 90 students in my classes each semester, I pretty reliably catch about four students each semester who plagiarize, and usually it’s diction choice from a dialect that first makes my spider-sense tingle. Once the spider-sense tingles, it is usually less than five minutes to identify a passage from an online source by some quick Google-fu.This is why I usually don’t bother with Turnitin.com. It’s an excellent resource, but for me it’s been redundant compared to just knowing the student’s voice.

How does it feel like to have a job you love?
You look forward to mondays.You're that person that comes in early, even though you don't have to. You're often the last to leave. You don't have to be. You just want to be.Your boss has to tell you to take it easy. A lot of the time. But you know that even though she says that, she's actually proud of you. There's this look in her eyes...And she treats you accordingly. That's why you get the best quarterly staff appraisals. That's why she never misses an opportunity to mention you in a good light to the higher-ups. That's not why you do it, though. Nah.You actually feel as if your colleagues are family. When you're away from this bunch is when you feel like something is missing. Being with them is when you feel normal. The crazy buggers. They're hillarious. Every. Single. One of them.But it's the work that's the really fun part. It's what you truly enjoy about being here. Thing is, you can hardly remember the last time it actually felt like "work". It feels like something you would do for fun. Even if no one paid you to do it.You see, not only are you good at it, it's good to you: It gives you some serious psychological rewards. Honest. There is this "Zone" you get into when you begin to do your thing. They call it a state of "Flow" I think. (Or is that a state only geniuses get into? Who knows these things?). In any case, It's making star out of you.That's the reason you're the cornerstone of the team. You give too many shits. Thats why, in addition to your own work you kind of know where everyone else is on theirs. And you just know when they need a helping hand. And you just give it. You don't even think about it much. That's just the way you want to be. Besides, you know they'd do it for you as well. One for all...Either all of that, or you're the founder of your own company and you are passionate about what you do.
