Women’s March on Washington, DC: Sticking it to the (Orange) Man
Just one day following Donald Trump’s modestly attended Inauguration pageant, over half a million people – overwhelmingly female, though diverse all-around – jammed the Washington, D.C. mall and surrounding avenues for a highly spirited, highly charged and highly cathartic political rally. Ostensibly, this great mass of humanity represented a broadly-based ‘rally for human rights.’ Organizers went out of their way to promote the march as ‘pro-woman, pro-immigrant, pro-Muslim and pro-LGBTQ rights’ in nature. Indeed, it was all these things, and then some. The planners didn’t want this to be merely a bitter, anti-Trump rally.
Then again, Americans do tend to get much more fired up when gathering in opposition rather than simply in direct support of a cause. The ire and resentment on display on this heavily overcast, yet dry, mild winter day was palpable, even visceral. There was indeed sheer joy and exaltation, just as there was clearly a determined sense of intense reaction and purpose. In a word, fierce.
Not to be overlooked here was the vast ocean of protest signage. A majority of these signs made direct reference to the obvious object of scorn, newly crowned POTUS, Donald J. Trump. A crowd of this magnitude requires a significant rallying point. The Orange One, nasty, brutish and short-tempered he, easily served this purpose. Some of the better signs were simple, direct, and not without humor: “I’m not usually a sign carrying kind of guy, but jeez“. Or, “We Shall Overcomb!” Also, “Keep Your Tiny Hands Off My Reproductive Rights!” Defiance and resistance were the obvious ingredients of the day, bolstered by an epic esprit de corps.
The most stunning point in the march for many came near the end of the route, while taking refuge from the mammoth crowd in the grand-stands of downtown Washington. Gazing back at the Capitol building, one could take in the enormity of this human juggernaut: tens of thousands of marchers of all cultural, religious and ethnic stripes in a slowly moving procession of purpose and determination. Hundreds at a time defiantly chanting in-unison, some blowing shofar-like horns sending the elephantine mass into a frenzy of howls and ardent cris de couer. Wave after wave of densely packed American dissidents made their way down historic Pennsylvania Ave, onto their ultimate destination at the Lincoln Memorial. Enough to etch a proud smile onto Abe’s stony visage, no doubt.
Beyond the great DC throng, enormous mass rallies mobilized in cities all over the country and beyond. In total, roughly 3 million marched nation-wide on this day, the rough equivalent of the popular vote garnered by ‘loser’ Hillary Clinton. Millions more rallied world-wide in solidarity on this same day. In all, legions marched together to support cherished rights and freedoms guaranteed by a Constitution only as sound as the nation that maintains it. “A republic, if you can keep it,” according to Ben Franklin. Let’s not let him down, America.
– James Sandrolini, Chicago

Stanley Whitney ‘ Radical Times’
Lisson Gallery London
20 May 16 - 2 July 16
For his first exhibition in London, Stanley Whitney presents a series of oil paintings and gouache on paper works made over the last few months in response to global events, literature and music, among other sources of inspiration. One of the American artist’s new works, Radical Times, lends its name to the exhibition, suggesting both a portentous moment in history and the potential for political or social upheaval. Deep Water was painted in the wake of witnessing migrants arriving in Greece from a war-torn Middle East, while titles such as Wandering and Wondering, Nightlife and Dreamtime (all works 2016) point to moments of leisure, reflection and rest amid the chaotic nature of the world.
Whitney’s unique ordering system revolves around his use of a loosely painted grid, which he has experimented with in various ways over the course of almost three decades. Within this abstract structure, made up of coloured blocks and lines usually in three or more stacks, Whitney sets colours against one another to evoke harmonious or contrasting relationships. The differing transitions and boundaries between these coloured elements allows Whitney to play endlessly with an infinite number of possible configurations, while the relative density, transparency and blurring of his rectangular shapes can also make or break the final composition of each work. He refers to this process of painterly tessellation as a form of continuous refinement akin to an athlete training to stay in shape – perhaps the truest definition of an artistic ‘practice’.
There are strong connections to music in Whitney’s work, from the performative ‘dance’ he enacts when working on each canvas, to the “call and response” technique that governs his decisions over neighbouring colours, mimicking the musical pattern of the same name. Examples of jazz and African music are often cited by Whitney as sources for his polyrhythmatic, near-synaesthetic, all-over fields of paint, yet he is also indelibly tied to the history of painting and quotes as readily from Cézanne or Veronese as from Charlie Parker or Ornette Coleman.

Bobcats Can’t Handle Magic; Go Down 0-2
Charlotte Bobcats @ Magic Game 2, 4/21/10
The Orlando Magic scored another definitive victory over the Charlotte Bobcats, 92-77, in Game 2 of their first round playoff series on Wednesday night. Stephen Jackson led the Bobcats with 27 and keyed a fourth quarter rally that briefly made things interesting late, but the Magic ultimately led wire to wire, putting all five starters in double figures.
AP recap here | Box score here
This one had an even uglier start than Game 1. 8 minutes into the first quarter, the two teams had only combined for 16 points; problem was, the Cats only had three of those. Fortunately, the Cats got a few buckets to make the count a not-quite-as-embarrassing 18-14 after the first quarter.
But frankly, the damage had been done. Orlando’s zone-ish defense rendered the Cats offense (not exactly potent to begin with) into a bogged-down, turnover-filled mess. The Cats finished the game with 21 turnovers, and no one outside of Stephen Jackson ever figured out how to score.
The fact that the Bobcats play some pretty good defense themselves kept the game reasonable; the Cats were only down 11 at the half, and cut the lead to 8 with 3:15 left in the game before succumbing.
The Magic simply had too many weapons tonight. Though Dwight Howard was held to a modest line (15 points on 5-10 FG/5-12 FT, 9 rebounds, 2 blocks) he was absolutely dominant for a stretch early in the third quarter that set the tone for the rest of the second half.
Vince Carter, infamous for shrinking into a jump-shooter when the going gets tough, had smooth sailing into the paint all night long, resulting in 9-11 free throws. (As a team, the Magic shot 35 free throws.)
Rashard Lewis and Jameer Nelson were solid and reliable, if unspectacular, while Mickael Pietrus and Ryan Anderson provided an onslaught of threes off the bench, combining for 5-7 from distance.
There were almost no silver linings for the Bobcats in this one. The late run that cut the deficit to 8 was intriguing for a minute, but rationally you knew it was too little, too late. Nazr did show some signs of life (5-6 FG for 10 points in 16 minutes).
But basically, I’m grasping at straws here. The only one that may be worth a damn is simply that the Cats have played much better at home this year and Games 3 and 4 are in Charlotte. The Cats had the biggest home/road record differential amongst all the playoff teams this year, for no reason that anyone could logically explain. At this point, I’d give up trying to explain it if I could just see it for Games 3 and 4.
Apologies for recycling my Twitter posts, but is anyone else getting the same feeling they used to get watching Jeff McInnis a couple of years ago when watching Larry Hughes these days?
Raymond Felton and Boris Diaw have been frustratingly ineffective, as have Hughes and Tyrus Thomas off the bench.
The Cats have a couple of days to stew on this one. Game 3 is on Saturday afternoon at 2PM ET at the Cable Box.

Magic Rest; Bobcats Put In Work
Close, But No Cigar; Magic Go Up 3-0
10 thoughts on “Bobcats Can’t Handle Magic; Go Down 0-2”
Yeah. This was definitely one of the worst performances I've ever seen from a professional basketball team, especially at the playoff level.
Here's to hoping the Aircats can take the next two at home.
Yeah, the main problem is that 77 points just isn't going to get it done in the NBA, much less the Playoffs.
Nothing against the Magic – they are a quality defensive team – but this speaks more to the Bobcats inability to score than it does to their opponent.
I was kind of waiting to see it this was going to happen. A lot of scouts basically said that the best way to defend the 'Cats was to zone them and DARE the open players to beat you instead of allowing easy shots from inside.
Let's see how the team plays at home before we completely write them off.
Out of all the unexpected developments, Ray's playoff shrinkage has been the biggest surprise to me. And, can we quietly remove Ratliff from the starting lineup? He had more fouls (3) than points, rebounds, steals, and assists combined (2). Nazr looked better; either he or Tyson has to start Saturday.
G-Money
What's up with the Cats sleepwalking thru the 1st Q again? I'll allow the Game slow start to first time Playoff jitters, but c'mon. Larry Brown should pull out his best 'Hoosiers' motivational speech before Game 3 to turn this series around.
Raleigh Bobcats Fan
Where are you Charlotte? Franchise team is in the playoffs, sure we'll lose, but who cares. Where are the psycho fans and diehards? Nice work on the website, I'm in full support of the Cats, the Queen City has the market to support them, but it seems they want a winning team first. boo to that!
My thoughts: Larry Brown seasoned coach with playoff exp. keep him. Still need a superstar. Capt. Jack is #2 scorer at best (great shooter, high energy, quick temper: good or bad) but he can't carry the team. G-Force could be, but something's missing. He needs another presence with explosive talent to challenge his game, then you would have a nasty 3 man game. Get rid of Theo and Nazi: Diaw and Tyson C. are awesome 6 men so they stay, but STOP running the offense through them. they aren't decision makers. x-factor is and always will be Tyrus Thomas. my 2 cents.
Keep your heads up Cats, remember this is Orlando, wicked tough and a lot of teams are golfing right now!
Pingback: Orlando Magic News & Notes: | Howard the Dunk | An Orlando Magic Blog
laumadite
wait, theres a guy on our team named boris diaw? funny i haven't seen him recently.
lol dwight howard has done nothing to earn a double team^ sounds like you are out of touch w/ the game.
Jjau
The bobcats will be swept by Orlando. This series has shown how bad a team Charlotte actually is and how how of touch Larry Brown is with the modern game. In a series that saw the bobcats consistently double a guy (Howard) who hadn’t done anything to warrant double teams. A guy who is surrounded by team mates who can hurt you far more than he can. We also got to see exactly how felton would fair against ‘real’ starting point guards yet Brown couldn’t see that in 2 games the task was better suited to Augustin’s speed and agility.
Jordan has some serious thinking to do and hard calls to make in the off season if we can hope to see a Charlotte team that at least looks like they deserve to be in the playoffs.
Out of touch or just not into Hype… What has Howard done to deserve double teams? Howard won't win a game like a lebron or kobe, he can't shoot free throws and has 2 post moves at best. Winning the dunk comp and blocking shots doesn't mean you need to be double teamed. If Howard gets the ball to take the game winner, you just foul him and send him to the line. If you double him he hits one of 3 three point shooters and you are down 3 instead of two at best. Or they miss the 3 and Orlando gets the board because they dominate the boards…

In Beth's own words: "If you go in expecting it to be a revue, you are going to get more... But if you go in expecting it to be a play, you're going to be disappointed. If you go in there thinking, 'I'm going to hear the best musicians in the world delivering Johnny Cash music', then you are going to get more!" [source]
Taking to the Broadway stage shortly after Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line swept the Oscars, there were high hopes for Ring Of Fire - unfortunately, the show failed to connect with either critics or audiences. It wasn't the cast or the craftmanship they brought to Cash's music that were the problem, but the fact that musical lacked a strong storyline that could hit the emotional high notes the producers were hoping for. Ring Of Fire closed on Broadway six weeks after it opened.
. production history .
Beth originated her role (later described as June Carter Cash, but really one of six leads intended to represent different points in Cash's musical journey) in an off-Broadway tryout at Studio Arena in Buffalo from September to October 2005. The show subsequently had another tryout at San Francisco's Curran Theatre in January 2006.
Ring Of Fire began previews on 8 February 2006 (38 performances), opened on 12 March 2006, and played 57 regular performances before it closed on 30 April 2006. The show is currently on tour throughout the country, with some revisions reportedly being made to its book.

The cast of Ring Of Fire on The Today Show
. trivia .
Beth was cast concurrently in Ring Of Fire and Bingo - which probably brought her a lot of frequent flyer miles. With Ring Of Fire still in its out-of-town tryouts in Buffalo, Beth flew back and forth between New York and Buffalo, "rehearsing Bingo while doing Ring of Fire at night". [source]
Beth played her final performance in Bingo on her birthday in early January 2006, before she left to begin rehearsals for her Broadway debut. [source]
Fellow UC Irvine alumnus Jenn Colella played a part in Beth being cast in Ring Of Fire: Jenn told the show's producer about Beth at the same time as the casting director did. [source]
Beth owes her Broadway debut to an impromptu karaoke performance - her boozed-up rendition of River Deep, Mountain High at a Halloween party was so memorable that it stuck deeply with one of Ring Of Fire's producers for years, until an LA audition and a subsequent New York call were set up.

Tyrone James Returns June 8th to the Paramount in “Rockin’ Fights”
Posted by Danny Serratelli on May 23, 2018 in Local News, Press Releases | Leave a response
STAR BOXING’S “Rockin’ Fights” series has seen major success at the Paramount since its creation in 2011. The chic Huntington venue has become the hub for boxing on Long Island. Promoter JOE DEGUARDIA continues to develop world-class talent at The Paramount, most notably world champion, CHRIS ALGIERI, light heavyweight sensation, JOE SMITH JR., and Long Island knockout artist CLETUS “THE HEBREW HAMMER” SELDIN. DeGuardia says the fighters developing at the Paramount feed off the great Long Island boxing fans that come out in droves to every “Rockin’ Fights” event supporting their local favorites.
Chris Algieri (21-3 8KO’s) defeated the feared Rusian Provodnikov, on HBO at the Barclay’s Center in 2014, getting off the canvas in round one, to earn the World Championship. Algieri later went on to face some of the biggest and best fighters in the world, including Manny Pacquiao (in Macao China), Amir Khan, and Errol Spence Jr.. Algieri first fought at The Paramount in 2011, and his eight appearances at The Paramount developed him into a world champion.
Joe Smith Jr. (23-2 18KO’s) burst onto the scene in 2016 when, as a 20-1 underdog, he blasted then, #2 rated light heavyweight contender, Andrzej Fonfara in Chicago on NBC (1st Round KO). Smith Jr. then took on the legendary Bernard Hopkins at The Forum in California on HBO, as he became the first fighter to ever knockout the legend, using a devastating left hand to knockout Hopkins (sending him clear out of the ring). Smith Jr. began his development at The Paramount in 2014, securing four knockout victories in four bouts. “THE BEAST” Joe Smith Jr. returns to the ring on June 30th at Mohegan Sun Arena. (Tickets for Joe Smith Jr. fight at Mohegan Sun on June 30th can be purchased HERE.)
Cletus Seldin (21-1 17KO’s) started his reign at The Paramount in 2011, leading way to becoming the venue’s all-time wins record holder. During his sixteen fights at The Paramount, Seldin owned an unblemished record, recording fourteen knockouts over that time. During his time at The Paramount, Seldin earned the WBC International Silver Super Lightweight title, which eventually led to his HBO appearance against Roberto Ortiz, in which Seldin lived up to his name, “The Hebrew Hammer”, destroying Ortiz in three-rounds.
“Rockin’ Fights 31” will give fans the chance to see if undefeated Elmont prospect TYRONE “PRETTY BOY” JAMES (7-0 4KO’s) is likely to be the next star to come out of The Paramount. Fans can see and evaluate if James can follow the footsteps of the elite alumni of the Paramount and break on to the biggest and brightest lights in the boxing. Tyrone’s fans certainly can feel it as he has begun to bring the same enthusiastic fans that have made the Paramount such a breeding ground for boxing’s bright lights.
Tyrone comes from an athletic background as his father, Derell, was a standout professional football player for the Oklahoma Outlaws of the USFL and his uncle Jerry was a National Golden Glove champion. Tyrone began boxing at the age of 10, and as an amateur, he won the Nebraska Golden Gloves and became a five-time Junior Olympic champion. He had a stellar amateur record of 79-16.
Fighting five-times at The Paramount, Tyrone James has shown promising speed, and growing power every fight. In his last appearance, he stepped up to face Alex DeJesus (then 13-3-1 10 KO’S). In the third-round at the 1:43 mark, Tyrone landed a flush left hand, stumbling DeJesus, followed by an onslaught of combinations, as the referee called a stop to the action.
On June 8th, Tyrone James will face Keasen Freeman (4-2 2KO’s) of Aiken, South Carolina in his sixth bout at The Paramount. Freeman has recently taken on the likes of Gary Russell (6-0 6KO’s) and Irish prospect Aaron McKenna (3-0 2KO’s). James is looking to climb to the top but the tough Freeman looks to stand in his way.
Joe DeGuardia had this to say about rising star, Tyrone James, “I remember seeing Tyrone for the first time in 2016, and was impressed by his length and speed. Two years later, Tyrone continues to develop in every fight we put him in. We have had serious success here at The Paramount with Chris Algieri, Joe Smith Jr. and Cletus Seldin, and I would not be surprised if Tyrone James is the next name added to that list.”

Suzy Lynch, lifelong Kensal Rise resident, co-founder of Slow Down Food on collaborating with local foodie favourites, Bel and Nev...
It's an honour to be involved in the Open Air Classroom Project, working with Bel and Nev Café, alongside the fantastic line up of contributors. I was born and raised in Kensal Rise and live next door to Ark Franklin Academy and intend to send our daughter there next year. My husband Hugh and I created Slow Down Food in 2014. Hugh is a NYC born, London raised slow roasting chef who uses the best seasonal British produce to create sophisticated street food. Slow cooked with love, of course. Having worked in the city for many years, Hugh made the decision to trade carbon for tacos and began running a series of supper clubs and kitchen residencies. We're currently located at The Shop at number 75 Chamberlayne Road with our Mexican street food residency 'El Barrio'. It's always a pleasure to work with Time Out's Love London Awards Winner 2015, Bel and Nev Café. Husband and wife team Bella and Névio Dartora met while training to be chefs at Le Cordon Bleu. After working in restaurants such as Polpo, Bocca di Lupo and Hereford Road the couple opened their eponymous cafe in Kensal Rise in October 2014. Nestled between stalwart barbershop Gee’s and a mini sushi restaurant, their regulars will attest it's the friendliest café around. Time Out described their cafe as an "at-home drop-in" serving delicious food and coffee. Perfect! We are small, independent Kensal Rise business owners who've been brought together by our shared love of food and our neighbourhood. Local businesses play a key role in investing in the community, which is why the Kensal Rise business community has come out in force for Fork to Fork 2016. The Open Air Classroom Project will secure childrens' access to outdoor space for learning and will further their understanding of where food comes from. And exploring the journey of where food originates i.e. from a fork in the ground to the fork on their plate, is essential for their future health and wellbeing. What better way to fund this project than with the Fork to Fork Food Festival, a celebration of London's finest food scene with some of the city’s greatest chefs and an abundance of local talent, all within the school grounds. We can't wait! Suzy

The Ledbury
Brett Graham began his cooking career in Newcastle, Australia, aged 15, working in a simple fish restaurant.
He then moved to Sydney where, during a 3 year stint under Liam Tomlin at the highly acclaimed Banc restaurant, he won the Josephine Pignolet Award.
This granted him a trip to the UK where he secured a job at The Square, working for chef Philip Howard. Further awards followed, including the “Young Chef of the Year” in 2002.
The restaurant has gained many accolades including the much coveted second Michelin Star.
The London Evening Standard announces next Fork to Fork Festival
It's a massive collaborative effort pulling together a festival such as Fork to Fork. A committee of several volunteers meet once a month to thrash out restaurant recruitment, raffle prizes and much, much more. Some volunteers have children at Ark Franklin Primary, Kensal Rise, others don't. But one thing's for sure; we believe building an Open Air Classroom and revitalising the garden will be as positive for pupils as it will the wider community. Findings surrounding the importance of green spaces (or lack of), especially where children are concerned, is phenomenal. To quote a study undertaken by the UN in 2007: "Britain ranked bottom out of 21 developed countries for child welfare and third from bottom for educational standards. Studies also showed that the physical and mental health of British children has deteriorated significantly in recent years. Not only has childhood obesity been on the rise for decades (the latest WHO figures, published in 2013/14, showed that 19% of children in Year Six were obese and a further 14% were overweight, and of children in Reception, 10% were obese and another 13% were overweight), but one in 10 children (aged five – 16) suffer from a diagnosable mental health disorder - that is around three children in every class. Furthermore, the number of young people aged 15-16 with depression almost doubled between the 1980s and the 2000s. A lack of freedom and contact with nature is impeding our children’s mental and physical development and their emotional resilience and according to DEFRA, the likelihood of a child visiting any sizeable outside green space has halved in a generation. There is, however, a growing body of evidence to show the positive impact that open air experiences and learning provide in offsetting many of these issues in our children" Today's piece in the Evening Standard was such an exciting moment for Fork to Fork. Not only did the article announce the involvement of forty incredible restaurants and feature some of our participating chefs, it talked about our fund-raising efforts for the Open Air Classroom. We believe children need access to green space more than ever before. Easy access to I-pads and computer games is playing havoc with their childhoods. Go outside, ride a bike! Ok, as parents, we know it's not always that easy. Which is why we hope our inaugural Open Air Classroom will become a blueprint for schools across the country, an example to be inspired by and hopefully take onboard. Studies show our children need green spaces and time outdoors more than ever before, so what could be more engaging than being taught art, science, maths and literature in a garden? It's time for change; it's time to take this outside. Read the Evening Standard article here
The Whippet Inn
The Whippet Inn is the local neighbourhood eatery and watering hole in Kensal Rise. It offers a constantly changing seasonal menu accompanied by an interesting range of beers and wines.

Trullo opened in 2010, and offers a simple, seasonally focused, Italian inspired menu that changes daily. Fresh hand-made pasta and our charcoal grill are the counterpoints of the menu, the pasta rolled minutes before service, and the fish and meat cooked over burning coals. At Trullo, we care about the importance of cooking according to the seasons, being sustainable, using amazing produce and really understanding where that produce comes from. We care about food in the same way as our producers do, and that definitely translates both onto the plate and into the warm, buzzing energy of the restaurant.

Every Vinoteca has its own unique and daily changing menu created by a different head chef, though all their kitchens bake their own bread and serve an outstanding signature bavette steak. Created and run by Brett Woonton and Charlie Young, the first Vinoteca opened in 2005 in Farringdon, which has over the years been followed by new restaurants and wine bars in Marylebone, Soho, Chiswick, King’s Cross and now the City. https://www.vinoteca.co.uk

Sadness following death of former Limerick minor hurler Tony Houlihan

“He was always at training, he was always there when you wanted him. It’s a sad day for Adare and a sad day for the club.”
Mr Houlihan is survived by his wife Audrey (nee Griffin) daughter Neasa, parents Tommy and Breda, brothers Damian and Timmy, father in law Patsy Griffin, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts, uncle, nephews and nieces, relatives, neighbours and many friends.

Dar.Ra’s new EP Kings n Serfs is about the everyday people who get used and thrown away when they are no longer useful; these are the people the musician honours
It’s been another amazing release year for Dar.Ra and Kusha Deep Music with over 50 titles put out already, starting with ‘Ballads For The Down-Trodden’
The album in essence is a collection of some of the more laid back moments from various albums and EPs over the years, plus two best of remix albums ‘Majestic Retrospectives Vol 1 and 2’ and the ‘Kings n Serfs EP’, which has two of the best videos made for the tracks ‘Sweet As’ and ‘Londinium’.
As the album suggests with its title, it’s a mixture of joy and sadness as only Ballads can deliver. Subjects roll from losing someone too early on both ‘Rewind’ and ‘Evermore’ to the thought of waking up with the perfect girlfriend who happens to be transgender, on a track called a ‘Girl Like You’.
Nothing is as it seems on any first listen with Dar.Ra and his song writing, as digging deep into subtexts reveal another whole level of storyline and subliminal messages, not that anything sinister and mind controlling is at work, but merely to suggest that not everything should be handed away so easily on first experience, which all Art should do.
The past year also witnessed even more classic music released with the ‘Stand Up For The Heroes’ pandemic tribute to Frontline workers around the world who have held it all together for the rest of us to stay at home and wait for the storm to pass. Salute to the Heroes still.
‘Lights Dark Night’ remix and the ‘Beat Bhangra Stance’ remix broke new ground for that Rock/ EDM cross over, while mixing Bhangra with a epic rock track the Beat sounds like a juggernaut coming at you full speed.
‘Whisky n Honey’ and ‘Rise Like The Sun’ EPs added to the sonic storming of the airwaves, with countless Indie radio stations around the world doing what they do best and supporting new music.
Dar.Ra was on call doing interview after interview to get the message out there without the help of the big corporate players in the game.
‘Everything starts with the flick of the green, money changes everything’
A lyric from the track ‘Start Again’, features a re-master from a young Producer based in Italy called Astro who has breathed new life into the track that appeared on the 2008 Soul Hours album.
Astro has been a key ingredient to the releases this year as he has put a magic touch to all of them. The Majestic Retro albums where a labour of love as most of those tracks where already mastered and to make them sound fresh with not much room to maneuverer was not an easy task.
Those two albums feature of 40 tracks between them going back into the vaults and finding gems from the 90s to the present and tracks Dar.Ra’s output for over 20 years.
The Kings N Serfs EP was also a labour of love after finding three songs that had been penned for a film about London which never got released, but sat on the hard drives for four years, before a decision to put them out was made.
Londonium was a huge tour de force of Musical story telling finding a London family who go back through the ages; they where there when the city was born are some of the opening lines, as the tale unfolds.
Family members who served King and Queens down for the past 200 years are mentioned in a 6 and half minute theatre piece which ends up in the present day warning us not to turn our back on what made the place we know today.
It’s not a story that commends what happened in the past, merely the people who played a part in the making of this city. As the title of the EP suggests Kings n Serfs is the everyday people who get used and thrown away when they are no longer useful that the story chooses to honour. There is a great film to go with Londinium as is the case with Sweet As another track which tells the story of the boy who grows up on the wrong side of the tracks from the same family, but has a little bit of luck and finds a piece of gold in The River Thames which brings him riches he could only dream of. The animated film that goes with it is as uplifting as the storyline that it only takes a little bit of belief and luck to turn your life around.
There is a new album in the pipeline and another EP to follow later this year.
We are all just looking for that little bit of luck to change our fortunes; the trick is to never stop believing that it will happen.
All these releases by Dar.Ra can be found on Spottily and the usual suspects

Sentient Races Wookiee
Kashyyyk appears like any other forested planet: green with trees, blue with water, white with clouds. On closer inspection the cloud seems more like fog, with the tallest trees poking out. This is an optical illusion; the oldest wroshyr trees stand several kilometres tall, their roots lost in the impenetrable gloom far below.
The home planet of the Wookiees, boasts one of the most unusual and lethal ecosystems in the galaxy. Awe-inspiring wroshyr trees cover its surface, stretching kilometres from the sheltered surface to its wispy cloud layer. The cutthroat struggle for survival began eons ago on the planet's surface; species that could climb higher, such as the ancestors of Wookiees, did so. The creatures that remained either evolved deadly defences or became extinct. The survivors now thrive in the towering wroshyr trees, and the peculiar plants and animals fill every possible niche in the vertical environment.
Cities are nowhere to be seen until one gets much closer. Then, tiny specks resolve into the haze of smoke, the network of towers and bridges, and the pale, flat discs of landing pads - cut from single limbs of the titanic wroshyrs. Closer still, individual buildings, sometimes two or three stories tall, begin to stand out, as do the wide, flat streets between them. The immensity of the physics becomes wondrously clear: each city is built on interwoven branches so large that a ship could land on the cross-section, so sturdy they stir only in the most devastating winds. Kashyyyk's cities are built in conjunction with nature, not in spite of it, and yet they are fully functional cities, not crude villages or simple structures.
Technology and nature blend everywhere, in the speeders cruising along limbs as wide as multi-lane highways, in the organic exhaust ports of the computer-component factories, and in the grand crystalline windows of the mansions, museums, and temples. Kashyyyk is far from primitive; it is simply natural.
The steamy temperatures in Kashyyyk's swamps and inland lakes cause a tremendous amount of evaporation. Most of it rarely rises more than a kilometre above the ground before it is trapped by foliage, where it condenses and falls back into the water table as dark, soil-rich rain. What evaporation occurs on the upper levels makes for light cloud cover and periodic light rainfall. Windstorms are infrequent, and usually not very strong -- certainly not strong enough to shake the treetops. Lightning is extremely unusual on Kashyyyk, as the wood of wroshyr trees is an insulator against negative electrical build-up.
Kashyyyk's geographical regions are broken down more by climate and terrain, and less by geopolitical boundaries. The most populous regions are the central northern and southern hemispheres, where the temperatures are more comfortable. The population drops off as the temperatures rises toward the equator and drops toward the poles. The seas are, of course, uninhabited by Wookiees, who are not comfortable that close to the surface, dry land or not.
Each of Kashyyyk's four continents are partially inhabited with at least one major city. The largest cities include Truvvhhurr, Kamarkiia, Hoorrkhukk, Maarwraawroo, and Rwookrrorro, all of which are built around manufacturing facilities that provide Kashyyyk with trade goods for off world commerce. Smaller communities, such as Kroohhuhwoor, Orriorr, and Rarrhkrrorrho, tend to focus on agricultural goods sold on Kashyyyk itself.
Most tend to think of Kashyyyk as covered in wroshyr trees as land without tree growth accounts for only half a percent of Kashyyyk's surface, but the surface of Kashyyyk is almost 40% water. Even on Kashyyyk's seas, there is a considerable amount of tree cover far, far above.
The Wookiees divide the wroshyr forests into seven vertical levels. The top level is occupied by the Wookiees, and it is further subdivided into the highest level (the nursery ring, where Wookiee children are minded and educated while their parents work), the habitation level (where Wookiee families dwell and work), and the maintenance level (where most Wookiee public utilities are located, including sewage and power generation).
Wookiee tree house
As one travels farther down, it becomes increasingly more dangerous. A few predators exist on the level directly below the Wookiees' level, but these are small and easily circumvented. On the third level down, carnivorous syren plants exist in massive numbers and sizes.
Below this level, things swiftly turn lethal. The fourth level down is inhabited by deadly predators, to whom a full-grown Wookiee warrior is little more than a passing challenge.
The next two levels are known as the Shadow Forest, the part of the forest too far below the canopy for light to penetrate. This is the domain of the webweavers, giant, spiderlike creatures capable of devouring the most powerful Wookiee in a single bite. The Shadow Forest is a colossal maze of adhesive webs, where the slightest tremor attracts the attention of the webweavers.
Finally, the ground level is given over to swamps, inland lakes, and sluggish rivers. The fauna at this level is more strange than lethal (though there is a fair amount of the latter), and most of the creatures live in complete darkness broke only by the occasional patch of phosphorescent flora. A few creatures provide their own illumination, which usually attracts the attention of ground-level predators, so these creatures are either prolific or extremely dangerous in their own right.
Wookiee legends tell of gigantic monsters that prowl the deepest reaches of Kashyyyk's mighty forests, and the Wookiees know all too well that those legends are grounded in perilous truth. Those few Wookiees who travel down this far below rarely return.
Kashyyyk is also known as Wookiee Planet C, Edean, G5-623, and Wookiee World.
With no axial tilt and a perfectly circular orbit, Kashyyyk experienced one continuous season. It was composed of a molten metallic core, rocky mantle, and a silicate rock crust. The planet had four continents, making up 40% of the surface, which were mostly covered in lush, wroshyr tree-filled forests, which were several kilometers high. The planet did have a small amount of desert region in the rain-shadow of its small mountain ranges as well as large plains including the Woolwarricca region. A tropical ocean belt contained archipelagos and long coral reefs. In addition, a few sandy beaches could be found along the shores of its oceans. The Kashyyyk coastlines were lined with a brownish-white sand and thick grasses. [1]
Much of the planet could be compared to a giant swamp -- filled with wildlife and covered with wet soil and large amounts of water. The prevalent ecology could be politely described as a "layered deathtrap", as the dangers presented by local wildlife increased as one descended toward the forest floor. According to Wookiee culture, this vertical environment consisted of seven levels. The bulk of Wookiee civilization was located on the uppermost seventh level, and even the bravest Wookiees rarely ventured below the fourth level. The ground level was known as the Shadowlands and, sometimes, the "notherworld". [1]
The wroshyr trees were the dominant flora. Wroshyr trees may have actually been one large connected organism, as when limbs of two tree limbs ran into each other, they would fuse together. The Wookiees inferred great symbolism in this. [1]
The forests of Kashyyyk were filled with a tremendous variety of plant life, many with some form of consciousness. The Wookiees learned to communicate with these plants and often came to an understanding about their use. One example of this was with the Orga plants, who allowed the Wookiees to harvest their older roots to use in Life Day ceremonies.
Most other flora was parasitic to the worshyr trees, grew in dirt pockets in crevices of the trees, or were carnivorous.
There were at least two types of large carnivorous plants in the lower levels. These included a carnivorous, spiked vine plants, and the infamous Syren plant, which played a crucial role in the coming of age rituals for various Wookiee tribes. Both of these plants were capable of consuming adolescent Wookiees or fully grown Humans. [1]
Besides the primary sentient Wookiees, Kashyyyk was home to various species of banthas, a small population of terentateks, and a host of other species. Usually, the deeper into the jungle one went, the more dangerous the animals became. Additionally, many of the species that inhabited the deeper parts of the jungle were capable of bio-phosphorescence, since the deeper layers of the forest were in perpetual darkness. [1]

blue jasmine movie
Jasmine returns to her sister's apartment and finds Ginger back with Chili, who is now moving in. A 2013 film written and directed by Woody Allen. In the 1930s, a Bronx native moves to Hollywood and falls in love with a young woman who is seeing a married man. Unfortunately for Jasmine (Cate Blachett), the perpetually distraught protagonist of Blue Jasmine, both her marriage and status as a New York socialite/housewife were dashed in one fell swoop with the arrest of her crooked, unfaithful businessman husband (Alec Baldwin) and the government liquidation of their vast fortune. While on a trip to Paris with his fiancée's family, a nostalgic screenwriter finds himself mysteriously going back to the 1920s every day at midnight. It is revealed that Jasmine finally learned of Hal's many affairs and confronted him. [15] It was Allen's "best-ever opening per-screen average" and the year's highest per-screen average, beating Spring Breakers' "impressive debut on three screens". United States July 26, 2013 New York / Los Angeles Canada July 26, 2013 4DX; VIP; ScreenX; IMAX; D-BOX; UltraAVX; Prime Seats ; … Dwight is outraged that Jasmine lied to him and calls off the engagement. [10] Letty Aronson, Stephen Tenenbaum, and Edward Walson served as the film's producers. In the throes of a nervous breakdown, she arrives in San Francisco and moves in with her kind- hearted sister Ginger who lives a modest, blue-collar life in a tiny apartment on the edge of the Mission – on South Van Ness near 14th Street to be exact - with her two hyperactive sons. AKA: Жасмiн. [3], Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an approval rating of 91%, with an average rating of 8.1/10, based on 228 reviews. Woody offers up his distinct style of dialog in his screenplay and it's put to good use by Cate Blanchett who delivers one of her best career performances. As Jasmine struggles with her haunting memories of a privileged past bearing dark realities she ignored, she tries to recover in her present. Karl Lagerfeld supplied two copies of the white Chanel bouclé jacket which Jasmine wears throughout the film, one brand new for the flashback scenes of Jasmine's affluent life in New York, and one for the San Francisco scenes which Benzinger distressed by soaking in fabric softener to give it the appearance of overuse. Blue Jasmine is a late triumph, if not a late masterpiece, and in Blanchett Woody Allen has found a female lead to rival Mia Farrow in Broadway Danny Rose. An aspiring photographer develops an intimate relationship with an older woman in 1950s New York. as Al, an amorous suitor who brings Ginger a few moments of romantic salvation.

Blue Jasmine offers a roller-coaster ride of emotions from light comedy to downright depressing. You can tell Jasmine is not only out of her element but quite judgmental about how her sister's life has turned out. [19] Mick LaSalle, writing for the San Francisco Chronicle, wrote that "Blanchett in Blue Jasmine is beyond brilliant, beyond analysis. Unafraid to lose audience sympathy for her character, she finds an innate sadness in Jasmine that makes us want to know what happens to her next. [18], Early reviews suggested the film would be rated very highly among Allen's recent offerings, and praised Blanchett's performance as one of her strongest, if not the best of her career: David Denby of The New Yorker stated that "in all, this is the strongest, most resonant movie Woody Allen has made in years". Comedy. This is jaw-dropping work, what we go to the movies hoping to see, and we do. Augie rails at Jasmine about what Hal did to Ginger and him. With no income, she grudgingly takes a job as a receptionist with a dentist, who harasses her with unwanted sexual advances. Blanchett is a wonder in this regard because there is something intensely fearless in her approach. Jasmine goes to Oakland and finds Danny, who tells Jasmine he never wants to see her again because of what she did to his father. Want to share IMDb's rating on your own site?

A Different kind of community bot
Posted on October 23, 2017 By DigidavePosted in My Work
(This post was first published on the Alpha Group’s Medium).
Please welcome to the world our new bot…. Pigeon.
It’s a different kind of chatbot. It isn’t a personal assistant. It won’t tell you the weather or make you a dinner reservation. It’s not a service bot of any kind. This is a bot built to foster community around sharing information.
The Opportunity For News and Information Bots
Much like the move from print to the web and the web to mobile, most news organizations are repurposing their content for a new medium (bots) instead of thinking about how the medium can change interactions entirely.
Most bots from news organizations provide content from one source, the organization that built it. As refreshing as its interface is, the Quartz bot only serves me Quartz content, and I have a better way of satisfying that need.
Pigeon doesn’t belong to any one media entity. It will belong to the users. It’s a content sharing community, akin to Reddit. We asked ourselves; “what would a social news community like Reddit look like if a bot became the main conduit for ‘browsing’ and ‘voting’?” Pigeon is our answer.
‘Read,’ ‘Post,’ and ‘Stats’ are the Main Actions on Pigeon
There are no profiles to create or users to “follow.” There are no likes or messages from your weird uncle. Once chatting with the bot there are two main activities — you can “read” or “post” content.
What’s different about posting on Pigeon?
On Pigeon everything you post is guaranteed an audience. It’s a small audience to begin, but it’s a promise we make for every post. If you’re a level 1 user, a post will be seen by at least 5 people. Those readers decide to “Spread” or “Bury” the content. An example below.
Think of it like posting to Reddit with a guarantee to be on the front page for a moment. The quality of the content will determine from there how long it will stay up on the front page, or if it will drop off. Every decision counts.
A Post that gets a lot of “Spreads” will find more readers and get more exposure.
The bot lets a user know the consequences of a vote and keeps the initial poster up to date on its progress.
Keep in mind, these numbers are from an internal alpha with only 10 users.
The more active and successful you are on Pigeon, the larger your audience will get. Rise in the ranks of the community and future posts will get a larger initial audience and more chances to spread.
Anonymous? Really?
Because submissions are anonymous, it doesn’t matter who submits the content, everything is based on merit. A celebrity with millions of followers on Twitter will start at the same level as everyone else on Pigeon. Pigeon is a meritocracy for the content and the user.
The bot will inform a user who regularly submits and curates good content for the community that they’ve “leveled up.”
There have been other anonymous communities before. And yes, they can quickly degrade into gossip or worse. But that’s where the community vetting of Pigeon comes in. Somebody that regularly submits bad content that is never “Spread” could see their influence diminished. We guarantee an initial audience, but it’s up to the quality of your content to keep and grow your audience.
Join A Pigeon Corps
Pigeon will foster an anonymous community to help surface what that group believes is the most important information to share on any given day. This can be links, videos, images and ideas. As we grow, we hope to expand this so that Pigeon will be in the service of many different communities around a variety of topics. Let’s call these “Pigeon Corps.”
While our community is about broad interests to start, we want to know what topic(s) you would like to see in the future. What future Pigeon Corps. would you like to join? Maybe you want one dedicated to Game of Thrones, or a specific hobby you have. Future Pigeon Corps could be dedicated to a geography (your town/city) or a specific business interest (technology, stocks, etc). There are no limits and we envision users belonging to multiple Pigeon Corps and switching between them.
We hope to devise a simple way in the future to determine when we have enough interest around a topic to launch a new Pigeon Corps. For now you should feel free to get in touch at: pigeon@advance.net

Pakistani Reply to Obama Strategy Announcement
I have not seen this stated so clearly:
"We do not want any more VOA-TV type propaganda that, in its condescending way creates more enemies than friends. We want a proper dialogue with the US and the West over what its goals are and whether these are our goals as well. Whether we like it or not, the battle for a safer America cannot be won if the people of Pakistan are not convinced. This is the stark reality, no matter how many drone attacks are carried out on the one hand and assistance is given to our government on the other.
It was true of the Musharraf government and is becoming increasingly true of the Zardari government too. The people of Pakistan are not seen as stakeholders in the battle against militants and extremism. It is too often said that while the West talks to our leaders, Al Qaeda and the Taliban talk to the people. Sadly, this is an issue President Obama has not addressed."
[Full article at: http://www.thenews.com.pk/daily_detail.asp?id=169835. The author is "Editor Reporting" in Karachi for Pakistan's largest English-language daily]
Obama's Afghanistan Strategy Breaks Old Ground
The heading above, taken directly from the article at:
brought a smile to my face for its cuteness. But the point it makes is serious.
Nigeria's Opposition Parties to Unite, Pakistani Parties agree to
I like both the news linked to below, and the one about PML-N and PPP in Pakistan agreeing (again) to implement the Charter of Democracy. These are both major countries on their respective continents, and stability in them is good for the whole world. It is by these evolutionary steps, this push and pull, check and balance that body politics mature.

To Non-Pakistani Muslims--and Others--Commenting on Pakistan
There's an Urdu couplet that Madeline Albright reputedly quoted in her congratulatory message to IK Gujral when he became Prime Minister:
Eh mauj-e-saba, un ko bhi zara, dho chaar thhapaiRay halkay say
Kuch log abhi saahil pay khaRay, toofaan ka nazaaray kar thay hain
Oh, morning breeze, to them, too, a few pats, but gently;
For some folks, yet, stand on the shore, being entertained by the storm
There's been several non-Pakistani Muslims expressing academic opinions of the type: "We see Pakistan is melting down; now why would that be?" or "Look what Swat and other mistakes have wrought!"
Any "We told you so"s or "Look, they be f****ed" reactions within the Muslim community (in any direction) are ... I can't use the word I am looking for, so let's just say "ill-adviced" and "naive". Whether it is Pakistan, Jordan, Egypt, or minority communities like those in India or the West; we're all in this together. Too long we've pointed to each other and said either that the "other" is medieval-minded and stuck in the past, unfit for the modern world (either because a) we're too bidah-ridden and need to get pure again or b) that Islam is not fit for the modern world)--or that this or that country is failing or so on. To paraphrase someone I don't quite agree with, either politically or tactically, right now, we are stuck between the twin jaws of neo-colonial domination via a comprador class on the one hand, and neo-purist fanatics on the other. The difference between Santa Clara California and Swat Pakistan; between Hyderabad India and Brighton in the UK is one of degree--or generational. Nothing more, nothing less.
And I speak of Muslims because they are part of communities that overlap--overlap, I say, mind you--with Pakistan. But the rest of the world is no less inter-linked. The West--the US and the British in particular--has been involved in how that region of the world has taken shape over the last century or two generally, and the last few decades specifically. Britain played off groups against each other; the US too often has sided with "our SOB"s (a choice list of Pakistani fundamentalists from the House of Saud to Ziaul Haq to Gubuddin Hekmatyar, but not limited to them, come to mind). And just like us Pakistanis, India--both the Indian establishment and Indian Muslims--have, for too long, been happy to play with fire (Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Hind, anyone?), or ignore the fire (till very recently Indian Muslims have pooh-poohed my saying that the difference in influence by neo-purist fanatics in India and Pakistan is one of degree). I am on the record,too, on British Muslim--and "mainstream"--leadership. [Addition, PM, Tuesday March 3, 2009: And the same goes for American Muslims--including, quite frankly, a lot of Pakistani-Americans and other diaspora Pakistanis.] I could go on.
I will return you to your regularly-scheduled programming in a minute. But for now, just think about this. Then let's talk if you really care to.

Anyone paying attention to this? (Somalia...and Bangladesh?)
You know, we all need to be paying more attention to Somalia (and, while I am at it, Bangladesh, but I will come to that another time). For example y'all saw the headlines about the recent news about a new President taking over in Somalia. And then of his coming to an agreement with "Islamist" "rebels". (Okay, so, yes, there's much to be said about how "real" the "presidency" is and all that.)
But there's talk about ministers handing over to other ministers (okay, so the VOA might not be the best place for objective news)--something that I don't think Somalia's had since a Somali classmate of mine in Freshman year at college in Karachi told me "A civil war started today in my country."
But what really struck me was why was it ONLY the CNN article that carried this paragraph:
However, Ahmed told a news conference he won't agree to a strict interpretation of the law,which forbids girls from attending school, requires veils for women and beards for men, and bans music and television.
I mean, with all that angst about deals with Islamism (yes, I use that word; take me up on it) isn't that what it's about? Shouldn't we be paying attention to this? Being supportive of this kidn of thing if that really plays out as the quote promises rather than groping at "moderate Islamists"? [Something I need to pick on, too.]

#BREAKING NEWS: Senator Manendo wants humane treatment for captured wild horses
Posted on June 9, 2013 by Protect Mustangs
Captive wild horses trapped with no shade during heat wave
RENO, Nv. (June 9, 2013)–Senator Mark Manendo, Protect Mustangs and horse lovers across the internet are very concerned for the welfare of the captured native wild horses at the Palomino Valley National Adoption Center during the Reno heat wave. Mustangs of all ages are trapped in pens without shade–even mares and newborn foals. An avalanche of concern is traveling across social media.
Patty Bumgarner with the Wild Horse Protection League from Dayton wrote on Facebook, “Palomino Valley BLM, 91 degrees at 11 a.m. and no shade for the horses with foals or any of the horses & burros. Supposed to be 106 today in Dayton. They’re 2 degrees hotter then us right now.”
Bumgarner’s post caught the attention of many wild horse advocates including Anne Novak, executive director of Protect Mustangs.
“It’s horrific to know this is happening,” says Novak. “The BLM is ignoring public input and continues to treat wild horses inhumanely. They don’t seem to care. Now with social media a lot of people are finding out so maybe it will snowball and change things.”
After last summer’s nearby wildfire, the BLM told Novak that no one lives on site. There are up to 2,000 wild horses in pens at the facility outside Reno. She decided to get help elsewhere.
Novak contacted Nevada State Senator Mark Manendo for help. He has an internet track record of being kind to animals and helping horses.
“We have a state law that says dogs need proper shade, food and water, so why not those horses?” asks Mark Manendo, Nevada State Senator. “Why would the BLM not want to provide proper care for the horses–especially if they require adopters must prove the wild horses will have access to shade?”
Previously the Palomino Valley National Adoption Center known as “PVC” has come under fire for several hot button issues. They have decided to cut costs by closing during 3 out of 4 Saturdays per month, making it harder for adopters to adopt wild horses and they don’t appear to be counting or reporting mustang mortalities correctly according to rendering plant records exposed by Animals Angels. During her research for 2013 mortalities, Novak discovered that young foals who die and have not been branded go unreported. With so many mares giving birth to foals at this time of year and no shade during heat waves–unreported deaths are of concern.
“We want American wild horses, especially mares and tiny foals, to be treated humanely while cared for by the federal government,” says Anne Novak. “They should be living in freedom where native horses belong so they can migrate to find shade. Now they are trapped in a pen during a heat wave with no shade–it’s cruel.”
Protect Mustangs encourages concerned Americans to contact their Congressional representative and 2 senators, asking them to intervene to stop this cruelty in all government holding facilities. This concerns all Americans because it is a federal issue.
According to the BLM’s website, “The National Wild Horse and Burro Center at Palomino Valley (PVC) is the largest BLM preparation and adoption facility in the country and serves as the primary preparation center for wild horses and burros gathered from the public lands in Nevada and other near-by states. Nevada is home to more than 50 percent of the Nation’s wild horses and burros with approximately 102 herd management areas throughout the State.”
Protect Mustangs is devoted to protecting native wild horses. Their mission is to educate the public about the indigenous wild horse, protect and research American wild horses on the range and help those who have lost their freedom.

Mets fire hitting coach Chili Davis and assistant Tom Slater
by Noah Zimmerman Queens Ledger
May 06, 2021 | 4929 views | 0 | 576 | |
After a Monday night loss to the Cardinals, the Mets fired hitting coach Chili Davis and assistant hitting coach Tom Slater.
Through the early weeks of the season the Mets bats have fallen remarkably short of high expectations, as New York entered the season with one of their best lineups in recent years.
The most obvious issue in the lineup is the bat of the Mets' most expensive player. Through the first weeks of the season, Francisco Lindor's production at the plate has been abysmal.
The star SS has shown off his immense defensive ability, but at the plate fans are still waiting to see results as he hits under .170 with one HR and three RBI.
The fans aren't the only ones waiting, as Lindor is well aware of his struggles at the dish, even with premature boos coming down from a handful of reactive fans.
"They expect results, I expect results and I get it," said Lindor. "I just hope they cheer and jump on the field when I start hitting home runs and help the team on a daily basis"
Those home runs and big results can't come sooner for Lindor, who extended his hitless streak to 21 at bats on Monday. It's the second-worst streak in his career and it's tough to see New York's newest star struggling so badly in his first season.
The struggles are in no way limited to Lindor, as a familiar issue is again plaguing the Mets offense. Just like in the past few years, the Mets have shown absolutely no ability to hit with runners on base.
Situational hitting has seemingly been an afterthought in the early season, as the Mets again rank near the bottom of the league in batting average with runners in scoring position.
The lack of hitting with runners on is translating to other team stats like runs per game. New York also ranks second-worst in the league at just 3.3, a disturbing sight for a team who can barely provide run support for dominant pitchers like Jacob deGrom and Marcus Stroman.
With 10 of their first 23 games settled by 1 run, the Mets may only need a few small tweaks to win more close games. If the Mets come up big just one or two more times per game, the close losses can easily turn into close wins.
Following a 2-1 loss in Philadelphia last Friday, the Mets averaged 6 runs over their next three games. A 5-4 win evened the series before New York took the rubber game 8-7. In their first game in St Louis, the Mets put up a solid five runs in a 6-5 loss.
With the Mets finally scoring runs, the next couple of weeks will be huge if the Mets want to take advantage of the underperforming NL East, with no teams able to stay over .500 so far.
Now is the time for the Mets to get going, as there is no clear frontrunner for the division. The bats are heating up and pitching has remained relatively strong, so if New York can keep positive momentum, they should be able to leave this team-wide slump behind them.
Taking over as hitting coach is Hugh Quattlebaum, with Kevin Howard taking over as assistant. Quattlebaum was hired by the Mariners in 2018 and the front office change may be the spark that reignites the Mets offense.

Producing image activism after the Arab uprisings
A Leading Research Environment Symposium
Kari Andén-Papadopoulos opens the Symposium. Photo by James Losey.
The Symposium Producing image activism after the Arab uprisings took place at Filmhuset between September 6 and 8, 2017. Organized by Professor Kari Andén-Papadopoulos and sponsored by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond and Stockholm University's Leading Research Environment "Global Media Studies and the Politics of Mediated Communication" (Director: Miyase Christensen), the Symposium explored the different facets of the growing global activist image industry, with a particular focus on the Arab world.
The Symposium started on September 6 with the screening of “Houses without doors” (2016, 90’) a documentary film directed by Avo Kaprealian. On September 7, Kari Andén-Papadopoulos introduced the audience to the Symposium’s line-up of guest participants, highlighted the presence of both practitioners and academics, and outlined the critical perspective of activist image-making informing the event. Drawing on insights from the research project "Resistance-by-recording: the visuality and visibility of contentious political action in Egypt, Palestine and Syria", for which she is principal investigator, she called for increased attention to the agency of human beings (as an alternative for excessive attention to the supposed virtues of technology), for an understanding of image-making as both political and subjective, and for a focus on the complex political economy of the circulation of images. The guest presentations that followed spoke to these concerns.
Scholar Amahl Bishara discussed her collaborative research project "Permission to converse". The project, undertaken in the summer 2014, engaged two communities - one of Palestinian citizens of Israel and one Palestinians in the West Bank - in a photography exchange. These are two groups that have much in common but do not speak to each other or speak together as a collective. They are both under the aegis of Israeli sovereignty but with different statuses, and thus separated by several factors. By facilitating performance and play, as well as a poetics of encounter, the project facilitated collaboration across the Green Line that donors generally refuse to fund. Amahl Bishara highlighted how the photo exhibitions that resulted from the experience demonstrated that members of these communities inhabit different worlds but can be productively seen in relationship with one another, producing new sentiments and meanings via their collaboration. Noting that public photography is an embodied practice, she stressed the importance of play as both a research strategy and political action.

On September 8, the second and last day of the Symposium opened with a provoking presentation by Egyptian visual artist, researcher and lecturer Heba Amin, who referred to her experience as a member of the Arabian Street Artists group that in 2015 intervened the set of the series “Homeland” with a series of subversive graffiti. Hired to decorate street scenes of a Syrian refugee camp, the artists saw and grasped an opportunity to "hack" the show's set by painting subversive messages in Arabic to critique its stereotypical, racist politics. Their images made it into episode 2 of the series' season 5, and were broadcast on October 11, 2015, leading to significant coverage in the international news media and to a commission by Oscar winning documentary film director and producer Laura Poitras. The seven-minute video, entitled "Homeland is not a series", recaps the graffiti hack from the artists' perspective.

The Symposium ended with the reflections of Marwan Kraidy, an internationally recognized expert in the communicative and media dimensions of Arab politics, who called attention to the commonalities and differences between the notions of 'artist' and 'activist' discussed during the event, highlighted the importance of practice not only in terms of creating but also of disseminating images, and invited debate regarding the link between struggles for visibility and the difficulty of engaging publics.
Importantly, the Symposium was covered by the Swedish news media: Saudi Arabian journalist and filmmaker Safa Al Ahmad, winner of the 2015 Index on Censorship Freedom of Expression Award for Journalism, was interviewed by Journalisten’s Hanna Lundquist.

For social insects, colony performance is largely dependent on the quantity and quality of food intake and thus on the efficiency of its foragers. In addition to innate preferences and previous experience, foragers can use social information to decide when and where to forage. In some stingless bee (Meliponini) species, individual foraging decisions are shown to be influenced by the presence of social information at resource sites. In dual choice tests, we studied whether visual and/or olfactory cues affect individual decision-making in rigona corvina Cockerell and if this information is species-specific. We found that T. corvina foragers possess local enhancement: they are attracted by olfactory and visual cues released by conspecifics but avoid feeders associated with heterospecific individuals of the species Tetragona ziegleri (Friese). Overall, olfactory cues seem to be more important than visual cues, but information by visual cues alone is sufficient for discrimination.

'Passing the buck' over Buckfast
By Huw Williams
BBC Scotland
The health minister met the company that distributes Buckfast
Joe - not his real name - is obviously bright. He's 15-years-old and musically gifted. He's been drinking for almost a year. And when he drinks, it's to get drunk.
He likes being drunk.
"You go to walk, and there's nothing in front of you. You feel as if you're falling over it, but there's nothing there to fall over," he says.
"And then you go to talk and your speech gets all slurred, and you get words mixed up."
He told me the point of drinking is to get out of control, so that he can have a laugh with his mates.
And there's never a problem finding people who are old enough to go into the off-licence and buy drink.
Joe says one of his group of mates would walk up to possible candidates, and ask them to help.
"If they say yes, we'll give them the money and tell them what they would want," he says.
We drank anything we could get our hands on
Alison, ex-teenage drinker
Top of the shopping list for most of Joe's drinking mates is Buckfast.
When Alison was an under-age drinker, she drank it too, along with vodka, alcopops, cider and strong lagers.
"We wanted to try different things", she says. "And we drank anything we could get our hands on."
She's a youth worker now at Glenboig Neighbourhood House, a former industrial village at the heart of the so-called "Buckfast Triangle" - between Airdrie, Cumbernauld, and Coatbridge in North Lanarkshire.
Buckfast is "quite syrupy and quite strong," Alison says. "Most people say it's an acquired taste, and I agree with that."
So, why do so many under-age drinkers, especially in the west of Scotland, love it so much?
'Vicious circle'
"It's just a stereotypical image", Alison says, and that stereotype gets reinforced every time politicians single out Buckfast for attack.
Alison decided drinking was not for her, so she stopped, although she admits she still likes the taste of Buckfast.
But she sees friends who drank with her who are now "ruining their lives", by continuing to abuse alcohol.
"As you get older, the more you drink, the more you're going to be inclined to want more," she says.
"It also leads to hangovers, which may mean you don't want to go to work. It's a vicious circle."
Even 15-year-old Joe accepts there is a down-side to his drinking.
The tonic wine is produced at Buckfast Abbey in Devon
"Nobody likes the hangovers or the fighting," he says.
"Because sometimes when people drink we get a bit out of hand.
"And you can be sick. Everywhere.
"Sometimes you see fights and you think you're bolder than you really are, and you try to fight with everybody."
So, perhaps there's some justification for Andy Kerr, the Scottish health minister, when he described Buckfast as "seriously bad"?
Well, no. Joe and Alison say attacking Buckfast is simplistic. Joe doesn't really like the stuff and Alison drank a whole range of different drinks.
Jim Wilson, Scottish sales manager for J Chandler and Co, which distributes Buckfast on behalf of the monks, says the drink is an easy target for politicians who can't solve difficult problems like poverty and anti-social behaviour.
It seems Alison agrees - she says politicians are just trying to blame a brand.
"It's easier for them to say kids drink Buckfast - that's the problem," she says.
"But that's not really the problem. Buckfast is not to blame."
But critics argue that Buckfast is made by monks. So it's reasonable to expect more social responsibility from them than from a conventional, secular, drinks company.
They - or the distribution company Chandlers - must know that they sell disproportionately high amounts of Buckfast from certain shops near particular schemes, or in particular communities, where there is a problem of under-age drinking.
Don't they, perhaps, have a responsibility to be purer than pure, and to make sure their product isn't part of the problem?

Mowbray considers captain change
Mowbray has hinted at a change of captain in his first season at Celtic
Celtic manager Tony Mowbray says Stephen McManus is not guaranteed to remain the club's captain next season.
Mowbray said he would speak to 26-year-old McManus to get his thoughts ahead of making a decision.
"I'll see what he thinks," Mowbray said of McManus who will miss the start of the season because of a knee injury.
"I haven't seen any reason why Stephen doesn't fit all the criteria... but I'd suggest one or two others within the club might also fit that criteria."
McManus has captained Celtic for the past two years since taking over the role from Neil Lennon.
The defender missed the last four matches of last season through injury and is battling to return to full fitness.
And Mowbray said he would speak to the skipper in due course.
"I'll see what he thinks, how much that decision would impact on him, positively or negatively," the Celtic manager said.
"Captaincy is important for the standards you set. At a club like this, he has to lead by example in his manner on and off the field.
"And Stephen seems as though he has the capabilities to deal with all those things no problem.
"But I would suggest there are one or two others within the club who might also fit that criteria and there might also be one or two signings that fit it as well."
Scott McDonald has expressed his delight at being named Celtic's captain on their pre-season trip to his native Australia in the absence of McManus.
McDonald will wear the armband against Brisbane Roar on 12 July.

What is musculoskeletal ultrasound?
For musculoskeletal pain (knees, ankles, shoulders, wrists, etc.), healing starts with appropriate diagnosis! Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a non-invasive, radiation-free radiological examination used to generate images for diagnosis. Linked to a powerful computer, a probe produces images of the human body’s anatomical structures. It is among the best examinations to diagnose certain musculoskeletal disorders affecting tendons, muscles, ligaments, bursae, fascias and nerves. This examination helps individuals afflicted by pain or joint limitations and for which X-ray examinations are non-specific.
Musculoskeletal ultrasound is an accurate and dynamic examination, during which several musculoskeletal structures likely to be the source of a patient’s pain are examined. The ultrasound does not involve any X-rays; instead, ultrasounds are emitted by a probe in the form of short impulses. They help in making or confirming a diagnosis and, more precisely, identifying the type and extent of a lesion. When required, high-precision injections can also be performed during such examination by directly observing the lesion and the injection needle used to inject medication right where the problem is located.
This type of apparatus and examination has been used for many years to view fetuses in pregnant women. But it has also served to analyze and diagnose various musculoskeletal injuries and lesions. This examination is recommended for any individual suffering from pain or joint limitations.
Clinique de physiatrie et de médecine du sport Rockland has physicians specialized in musculoskeletal ultrasound available to assess pain, find its source and propose effective treatment for relief.
The ultrasound device allows a physiatrist to view most musculoskeletal structures located outside or around a joint, such as tendons, bursae, ligaments, muscles, fascias and peripheral nerves. Ultrasound guidance examination is excellent to diagnose tendinous problems (tendinopathy or tear), ligament or muscle lesions, bursitis, fasciitis and peripheral nerve lesions.
Although not necessarily the best examination to diagnose a joint problem, musculoskeletal ultrasound enhances indirect signs (irregularity of bone surfaces, fluid in joints, swelling of joint membranes), that may point to a suspected joint damage.
The ultrasound device is a diagnostic tool that also allows performing high-precision injections of various medications or products (cortisone, hyaluronic acid for visco-supplementation, Botox, anesthetics, platelet-rich plasma, etc.) during an ultrasound guidance procedure. The device displays, in real time, the positioning of a needle inserted into an affected anatomical structure and the injection of medication into a desired site.

Started in 2000 and not sticking to one particular music genre their debut twin album was released in 2001, one album was "live" and the other was Industrial/Electronica. Since then they have not stopped creating music and boasted of 5 indie albums and one E.P. so far.
Several of their original tracks can be heard on the radios nationwide especially in Vis-Min areas while other tracks were featured as soundtracks in local and national released Indie Films as well as a major Philippine movie.
Based in Cebu, Philippines they are considered as one of the pioneering DIY musical artists in Vis-Min area, innovative, provocative, and independent bands out there locally, and sometimes considered as musical pranksters by their contemporaries best known for their live performance antics, timeless tunes and sexualy induced lyrics.
Currently they are buzy with everday jobs and occational live gigs around Cebu and provinces. Watch out for their upcoming 6th and 7th album to be double released hopefully before the year 2010 ends.

Wert: It has never been calculated exactly how many surnames derive from the Hebrew 'Yochanan' (he who Jehovah has favoured), and Latinized originally as 'Johannes', but it is known to be in the hundreds. The name was particularly associated with St. John, the Baptist, and St. John, the Evangelist, as well as nearly one thousand other saints with the same name! John appears in every European country in forms ranging from Sean in Ireland, to Giovanni in Italy, and Jan in the Dutch. This is the origin of Janzen, a patronymic surname form of the popular personal name. The name in this form is quite rare, and is a derivative of Janszen, itself from Janszoon. Quite why the 'z' developed is unclear, it may be dialectal or it may be a simple spelling error. The name recordings include: Cornelis Janszen, who married Rijnje Gerrits at Nijkerk, Gelderland, on April 24th 1735, and Willemijntje Janzen, who married Jan de Gooijer at Veenendaak, Utrecht, on June 20th 1851. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Cornelis Janszoon, which was dated 1475, marriage to Jacomina Boels, at Zierkzee, Zeeland, Netherlands, during the reign of Frederick 111, Holy Roman Emperor, 1440 - 1493. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to 'develop' often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Holly Starr teams with Matthew Parker and Beacon Light for her HUMAN Deluxe Album which released worldwide through Artist Garden Entertainment on October 12.
Starr’s new HUMAN Deluxe Edition adds three additional songs to the previously released HUMAN EP including two new songs and a Matthew Parker remix of the title track. New songs include “Talk it Out,” a collaboration with rapper Beacon Light, and “I Don’t Know,.” Starr shares “I’m really excited to get the opportunity to add a few more songs to the HUMAN EP, thanks to my Kickstarter backers helping us reach a big stretch goal last year. The additional songs add a fun element to the project and I can’t wait to share some of them live on tour.”
Artist Garden’s Keith Stancil, states “Holly and producer Matthew Parker continued writing and recording songs after releasing the HUMAN EP last year. Three of the songs fit perfectly with the collection of songs on the HUMAN EP so it only made sense to super size the EP into an album.”
Songs from HUMAN have already logged 2.3 million streams and are featured in top playlists including Runners World Magazine and top Christian playlists on Spotify, Amazon, Apple Music and Pandora. The new HUMAN Deluxe Edition is available for streaming and download through all digital providers and the physical cd is available to all physical retailers through New Day Distribution.
Holly Starr can be seen on tour this fall and on her annual Christmas tour.

8 Reasons He’s Giving to The Ultimate Investment
by Tim Howey | Oct 22, 2014 | Church, Current Affairs, Personal Finance |
Last weekend, I updated Grace on our Phase 2 Expansion. I shared a story from one of our Gracers who wanted to give generously to The Ultimate Investment and challenge each of us to pledge a donation too.
His 8 Reasons to Give
He said, "Giving is the right thing to do to follow God — tithing 10% of all your increase."
He said, "We should give to God before spending on us — the "firstfruit" belong to God."
He said, "I shouldn't even be alive today — I've faced multiple life-threatening situations."
He said, "Life is very short — Life is like a vapor — There is no promise of tomorrow."
He said, "You can't take your wealth with you — At death, your net worth goes to zero."
He said, "I want my money to be used for more than just stuff or savings — used for God."
He said, "God's been dealing with me on this for some time."
He said, "It's not even my money. It's just on loan from God."
I encourage you to use this 7-day Prayer Guide to seek God about participating in some way in The Ultimate Investment. Would you also pray right now for three things:
Construction Permits – From the city of Overland Park
All 1100 Households Participate – Investing to change lives
$1M Raised Over 1 Year – By Dec 2015 to expand debt-neutral
Thank you so much for your prayers, faithfulness to God, & desire to change lives for Christ!
P.S. We would love to have you pray about completing your faith commitment card in the next 2-1/2 weeks (by Nov 1-2 or Nov 8-9), thanks!

NFS for AFS users
Bfields (Talk | contribs)
(→volume management and migration)
Possible approaches to fix the problem if we were to do something similar in the NFS case:
* Provide some protocol which tracks which files may be open on read-only replicas so that we know not to free those files when they're unlinked.
* When we distribute new versions, allow the read-only replicas to keep around older versions and serve files from them in the case filehandle lookups against the new copy fail, to be removed only after applications stop referencing them.
* When we distribute new versions, allow the read-only replicas to keep around older versions and serve files from them in the case filehandle lookups against the new copy fail, to be removed only after applications stop referencing them. Hopefully this can be done space-efficiently if the different versions on the replica servers can be represented as dm snapshots.
If we use NFSv4 proxies instead, proxies will hold opens or delegations on the files on the original server, which will prevent their being deleted while in use. The problem is server reboots. That's partially worked around with silly-rename. Server-side silly-rename would be a more complete solution.
This page tracks some of the obstacles that might keep an AFS user from using NFS instead.
1 Missing Features
1.1 volume management and migration
1.2 PAGS
1.3 ACLs
1.4 user and group management
1.5 global namespace
2 migrating existing AFS installations to NFS
Missing Features
In general: AFS is administered by a consistent set of commands (fs, pts, vos, uss, bos, backup, fstrace, etc.) which work from any client and identify the user with Kerberos. Compared to a traditional unix system it's more flexible about delegating rights to users to do stuff.
volume management and migration
AFS has a "Volume Location Database" that tracks where (machine and partition) a volume is located.
Fast clones using COW are supported, along with complete copies on other machines.
Currently there can be only one writeable version of a volume, but multiple read-only versions (which all have to be identical). They can be on different servers.
There can also be a 'backup' volume which is just, say, a daily temporary read-only snapshot of a RW volume and has to be located on the same machine.
When a RW volume is "released" (snapshotted) to the RO volumes, all the RO volumes update simultaneously and atomically. The users, in theory, don't notice as the volumes don't go offline - and then they see all the changes happen at once. There is coordination handling for when one or more of the fileservers or the Volume Location servers are offline.
Volumes can be migrated between machines whilst in active use without the user in theory noticing anything.
There are moves afoot to add multi-hosted RW volumes, but I'm not sure how that'll work, and may involve Ceph integration. But it's not there yet.
Logical volumes is something they particularly like. You can make a volume for a purpose; give particular people access to it, give it some storage, expand and contract it and move it around. It's intrinsically quota'd.
For NFS migration we need to preserve filehandles, so need to migrate at the block level or using fs-specific send/receive. The protocol can be handled by migrating only entire servers or containers, so that migration can be treated as a server reboot.
Between LVM and (container-respecting) knfsd, we have a lot of the necessary pieces, but there's at a minimum a lot of tooling and documentation to write before this is usable.
Possible tools at our disposal: LVM, btrfs, fs_locations, fs_locations_info, pnfs flexfiles. FedFS (dormant but worth keeping in mind), Ganesha, Ganesha/Ceph (which may be capable of multiple read/write servers now).
Possibly interesting dm targets:
dm-snapshot and related targets.
dm-clone
dm-era may help with efficient incremental updates of read-only replicas?
AFS Administrator's guide, Chapter 5: Managing Volumes
A partial alternative may be NFS proxying. Like read-only replicas, proxies should be able to hide latency by moving cached data closer to far-flung clients, and scale bandwidth to read-mostly data by taking load off the original server.
Advantages are that we already have seen reports of some success here, using the NFS re-export code together with fscache. And I think there are a lot of opportunities for incremental progress by fixing problems with existing NFS code, rather than larger and riskier projects that build new infrastructure.
A disadvantage may be that AFS users seem to like that infrastructure (the volume abstraction and the VLDB).
Latency-hiding may be particularly tricky; delegation and caching policies may need rethinking.
The AFS approach has a problem that I don't understand: when new read-only versions are released, they may modify or delete entirely files that are in use by running processes. I'd expect application crashes. I wonder how AFS administrators deal with that now?
Provide some protocol which tracks which files may be open on read-only replicas so that we know not to free those files when they're unlinked.
When we distribute new versions, allow the read-only replicas to keep around older versions and serve files from them in the case filehandle lookups against the new copy fail, to be removed only after applications stop referencing them. Hopefully this can be done space-efficiently if the different versions on the replica servers can be represented as dm snapshots.
PAGS
PAGs: AFS allows a group of processes to share a common identity, different from the local uid, for the purposes of accessing an AFS filesystem: https://docs.openafs.org/AdminGuide/HDRWQ63.html
Dave Howells says: "This is why I added session keyrings. You can run a process in a new keyring and give it new tokens. systemd kind of stuck a spike in that, though, by doing their own incompatible thing with their user manager service....
NFS would need to do what the in-kernel AFS client does and call request_key() on entry to each filesystem method that doesn't take a file* and use that to cache the credentials it is using. If there is no key, it can make one up on the spot and stick the uid/gid/groups in there. This would then need to be handed down to the sunrpc protocol to define the security creds to use.
The key used to open a file would then need to be cached in the file struct private data."
NFSv4 has ACLs, but Linux filesystems only support "posix" ACLs. An attempt was made to support NFSv4 ACLs ("richacls") but hasn't been accepted upstream. So knfsd is stuck mapping between NFSv4 and posix ACLs. Posix ACLs are more coarse-grained than NFSv4 ACLs, so information can be lost when a user on an NFSv4 client sets an ACL. This makes ACLs confusing and less useful.
There are other servers that support full NFSv4 ACLs, so users of those servers are better off. Our client-side tools could still use some improvements for those users, though.
AFS ACLs, unfortunately, are yet again a third style of ACL, incompatible with both POSIX and NFSv4 ACLs. They are more fine-grained than POSIX ACLs and probably closer to NFSv4 ACLs overall.
To do:
make NFSv4 ACL tools more usable:
Map groups of NFSv4 permission bits to read, write, and execute permissions so we only have to display the simpler bits in common cases
Look for other opportunities to simplify display and editing of NFSv4 ACLs
Add NFSv4 ACL support to graphical file managers like GNOME Files
Adopt a commandline interface that's more similar to the posix acl utilities.
Perhaps also look into https://github.com/kvaneesh/richacl-tools as an alternative starting point to nfs4-acl-tools.
In general, try to make NFSv4 ACL management more similar to management of existing posix ACLs.
For AFS->NFS transition:
Write code that translates AFS ACLs to NFSv4 ACLs. It should be possible to do this with little or no loss of information for servers with full NFSv4 ACL support.
For migrations to Linux knfsd, this will effectively translate AFS ACLs to POSIX ACLs, and information will be lost. Test this case. The conversion tool should be able to fetch the ACLs after setting them, compare results, and summarize the results of the conversion in a way that's usable even for conversions of large numbers of files. I believe that setting an ACL is enough to invalidate the client's ACL cache, so a subsequent fetch of an ACL should show the results of any server-side mapping. But, test this to make sure. More details on AFS to NFSv4 ACL conversion
more ambitious options:
Try reviving Rich ACLs. Maybe we could convince people this time. Or maybe there's a different approach that would work. Maybe we could find a more incremental route, e.g. by adding some features of richacls to POSIX ACLs, such as the separation of directory write permissions into add and delete, and of file write permissions into modify and append.
user and group management
AFS has a "protection server" and you can communicate with it using the pts command which allows you to set up users and groups and add ACEs for machines.
Compared to traditional unix, it allows wider delegation of management. For example, group creation doesn't require root: https://docs.openafs.org/Reference/1/pts_creategroup.html. Groups have owners, and you can delegate management of group membership: https://docs.openafs.org/Reference/1/pts_adduser.html.
Our equivalent to the AFS protection server is FreeIPA. See also https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/configuring_and_managing_identity_management/index. Installing FreeIPA and experimenting is also useful.
Unlike AFS, FreeIPA doesn't seem to make it easy for ordinary users to create groups. It does allow delegating group management (including adding and removing users). More details on AFS-like group management with FreeIPA.
global namespace
On an AFS client by default you can look up something like /afs/umich.edu/... and reach files kept in AFS anywhere.
We have automounting support, NFS has standards for DNS discovery of server, so in theory this is all possible. Handling kerberos users across domains would be interesting.
migrating existing AFS installations to NFS
Once NFS does everything AFS does, there's still the question of how you'd migrate over a particular installation.
There's a standard AFS dump format (used by vos dump/vos restore) that might be worth looking at. It looks simple enough. Maybe also look at cmu-dumpscan.

India successfully test-fires Agni-5 missile
India on Wednesday announced that it carried out the latest test of the 5,000 km range Agni-5 missile from the APJ Abdul Kalam Island off the Odisha coast, a significant step towards boosting the nuclear deterrence against China.
The successful test of the Agni-5 missile is in line with India’s stated policy to have credible minimum deterrence that underpins the commitment to no first use, the defence ministry said in a statement.
The missile, which is being inducted into the Strategic Forces Command (SFC), will put India’s credible minimum deterrence on a firm footing as no missile in the Indian arsenal has the range to strike targets deep inside China.

Corpus of Spanish Drawings (HMCSD 2)
A. E. Pérez Sànchez, D. Angulo
Madrid 1600-1650
This volume offers new insights in Spanish art and drawings executed during the first half of the seventeenth century, belonging to the Madrid School.
This corpus seeks to provide an authoritative refernce work on the relatively unknown field of Spanish Drawings. It offers the student and the collector of Spanish art and drawings highly important material which has hitherto been inaccessible. This second volume in the corpus covers Spanish Drawings executed during the first half of the seventeenth century. The 443 drawings catalogued belong to the Madrid School and are stylistically interesting in that although a strong Italian influence is apparent, the characteristic Spanish delicacy and emotive ornamentation prevail. The drawings include sketches for paintings, portraits, murals, funeral monuments and altar pieces.

Butoba clockwork tape recorders
Wound-up machines?
In the 1950's, small speed-regulated DC motors were unusual, and so it was natural for a company that specialized in the manufacture of clocks and precision mechanics to start using clockwork motors for driving tape recorders. The motor used is principally identical to the type found in old record-players, however, there are a couple of differences. First of all, speed accuracy is much more important, as there is no audible means of checking the speed during record. Secondly, tapes play for much longer than the 3 or 5 minutes required to play a 78 rpm record. And finally, because of the lack of a turntable, there is no intrinsically large mass to filter out speed variations.
Two views of a Butoba spring drive unit. In the left picture, one of the two large mainspring canisters can be seen. In the right picture, the governor assembly is visible (with one of the three round weights mounted on its leaf spring facing directly into the camera).
Looking from another point of view, comparing the Butoba drive unit to the now conventional method of using an electric motor and flywheel to drive the tape, the Butoba motor stands out on a couple of points, apart from the spring drive:
First of all, the drive mechanism uses gears for the transfer of energy. Normally gears are a no-no for drive units intended for audio use. In the Butoba, the cogs of most wheels except the mainsprings are slanted, which results in an even transfer of movement. Several of the larger cogwheels are made of a fibre material instead of metal, which further damps vibrations. Finally, liberal application of graphite grease brings vibrations to a minimum. Still, one can't help wonder how much wow and flutter is caused by using gears instead of a friction drive. At any rate, proper lubrication and alignment of parts is crucial to obtaining a flutter-free tape motion.
Secondly, there is no flywheel, at least not in the conventional sense, mounted on the capstan. There is a fast-running governor mechanism, which has rotating weights, controlling the speed, and this assembly may be considered a flywheel of sorts.
Finally, the capstan diameter is large, in the order of 2 cm. Normally large capstans are to be avoided because of the difficulty in manufacturing such a large rotating component with the precision required in a machine for playing audio.
All in all, the drive mechanism cannot have been cheap to manufacture, with lots of machined parts, especially considering the precision needed to minimize speed fluctuations. Not only the drive mechanism, but parts like the reel tables are machined and not stamped or moulded.
The governor in operation: weights extended by centrifugal force, their rotating motion frozen by the camera flash
As a final note on the drive unit, it can be noted that not everything is driven by cogwheels, the exception being the take up reel clutch which is actually driven using a rubber belt.
The crank for the motor is located on the underside of the machine, with the speed selector being located here as well. About 70 or 80 turns will wind up the springs completely.
Rewinding - and a sore thumb
The clockwork motor is only used for normal forward drive. There is no fast forward on these machines, and rewind is accomplished manually, by pressing a rewind button repeatedly, which via gears turns the supply reel. Unfortunately, during ordinary play, the rewind gears on the supply reel tend to rattle audibly, especially at the end of a reel at the higher speed.
Pushbutton control
A Butoba hallmark is push-button operation. Although the rewind button cannot really be considered a push button in the ordinary sense, standard push buttons are used to control all other tape operations; two buttons being used for start and stop, and two other buttons being used for record/play selection. There is no record interlock; pressing record and then start immediately starts a recording.
The brown knob in the picture on the left is the reset knob for the running-time counter; the counter itself is visible in the little window above the knob. It was not present on the earliest models. The slot in the middle is the opening for the DM71 indicator tube.
Amplifier control panel
The amplifier controls and input/outputs are concentrated on a small recessed panel on the side of the machine. There are no markings on the panel. The left knob is the tone control, whereas the right knob controls the volume. Both knobs are active also when recording.
The three connectors on the panel are a type of thin jack connector that I've never seen anywhere else. From left to right they are line output, line input and microphone input. Early models had only this panel; on later models, as can be seen in the picture, an unusual male DIN connector is used for an external power supply connection. (I don't know what 'BNZ' stands for, but it sure sounds German). Later machines like the TS6 also have a couple of banana plug connectors for connecting headphones.
The "Export"
The Butoba "Export"
The "Export" is an example of a typical Butoba spring-drive tape recorder with an all-tube amplifier. Not the first type to be produced (earlier models lack the running-time counter and external power supply input), I would guess it is from around 1955.
Rear view with cover opened; drive unit on the left, amplifier unit on the right. The speaker below is covered in white cloth!
The amplifier uses 'battery tubes', i.e. with a filament voltage of 1.4V, and an anode (B+) voltage of 90 or 100V. When the recorder was built, such batteries were readily available for use in portable radios. Operating the machine today can be slightly problematic, as it's difficult to find a battery that delivers anything over 9V. However, current drain is low, and connecting ten standard 9V batteries in series results in 90 volts, and yields several hours of playing time. A standard "D" cell can be used for the filament battery. Interestingly, 9V batteries are mechanically very easy to connect in series as can be seen in the picture to the right.
Using modern day batteries
Simple as the mechanics are, the machine boasts two speeds, 7 1/2 and 3 3/4. At the higher speed a running time (per wind-up) of 15 minutes can be obtained, and a running-time-counter (the knob above the row of push buttons) is used to keep track of this. At the lower speed, twice that time can be achieved. However, speed regulation at this speed is not too good, the machine running a couple of per cent too fast just after wind-up, and slowing to a couple of per cent below rated speed when the running time has elapsed.
The main reason for the lack of speed regulation at the lower speed is that the governor is turning quite slowly at this speed, meaning that the weights are not extended very far on their springs, making the whole mechanism sensitive to friction and the amount of energy available from the mainsprings, which varies during the playing time.
Not too exhaustive this, as I have no data sheet for the machine. The frequency response has been determined by measurement.
Date of manufacture: Probably around 1955
Maximum reel size: 5" (13cm)
Number of tracks: 2 (half track), mono
Speeds: 7 1/2 ips, 3 3/4 ips (19 cm/s, 9.5 cm/s)
Frequency response: 100-13000 Hz at 7 1/2 ips, 100-5000 Hz at 9.5 ips.
Bias frequency: 35 kHz
Tube complement: DAF91 x2, DL94 x3, DM71
Motor: Spring drive with two mainsprings
Running time (per wind-up): 15 minutes at 7 1/2 ips (double at half speed)
Speed regulation: centrifugal governor
Power supply: 1.22V NiCd accumulator for filaments, 90 or 100V dry battery for B+
Power consumption: Filament: 400 mA, B+: 20 mA
The TS61
The Butoba TS61
The TS61 was probably Butoba's last clockwork recorder. Externally, it looks virtually identical to the "Export" above. Internally, however, the chassis has been redesigned, and the machine uses transistors instead of tubes. In fact, apart from the output and driver transformers, the electronics are the same as in the later MT4 and MT5. The machine shown is from 1959, which is probably when the model was introduced.
Transistorized design
Still retaining the DM71 indicator tube for the record level, the TS61 uses an all-transistor design for the electronics, powered by four "D" cells. These should last a long time, as the current drain at low playback volumes is a mere 30mA. Most likely, this was the main reason to retain a clockwork machine in the range, i.e. the long playing time compared to a motorized design.
Slight redesign
Heavier governor weights, requiring slower speed to maintain regulation, a smaller capstan diameter, and most likely changes to the mainsprings as well, give this recorder a playing time (per wind-up) of 22 minutes or more, and the higher speed which is 3 3/4. At the lower speed of 1 7/8, 40 minutes can be obtained.
Compared to the "Export", the chassis has also been redesigned; this however turns out to be a bit of mixed blessing. While it is now possible to remove the drive unit without removing the whole chassis from the case, this must be done in order to replace the clutch drive belt, which on the "Export" is simply a matter of removing the upper capstan bearing.
An interesting side note is that the machine, like earlier models, was offered in several color schemes. Apart from the sombre two-tone grey vinyl depicted above, green or red crocodile could be chosen.
Speeds: 3 3/4 ips, 1 7/8 ips (9.5 cm/s, 4.75 cm/s)
Frequency response: Quoted as 50-9000 Hz at 3 3/4 ips, however, I believe this is valid for the older TS6, the TS61 having the same upper range as the MT5, i.e. around 13000 Hz.
Transistors and tubes: OC603, OC75, OC71, OC76, OC74 (x2), DM71
Motor: Special spring drive with two mainsprings.
Power supply: 4 "D" cells (R20)
Power consumption: playback: 30 mA, recording: 170 mA
User and Service Manuals
The user manual for the TS61 is, as for most equipment of that era, short, just a folded sheet of paper. It's available here as a two-page PDF file. If you want an authentic replica, make a double-sided printout, and fold in thirds along the two lines.
There's also a brochure available, again rather short, just a single fold this time, so four pages in total.

TS61 brochure(German language)
The service manual for the TS6 is available below, in German language. (The TS6 is essentially identical to the TS61, except that the electronics is built on tag boards rather than PCB's.) It includes descriptions, repair instructions, lubrication chart, spare parts list, schematics and numerous pictures.

Punish Yourself vs. Sonic Area – Phenomedia
Connexion Bizarre - April 2, 2010 November 24, 2010
CD, Audiotrauma, 2010
www.myspace.com/phenomediamusic
This is, by all accounts, a bloody odd coming-together of minds. I’ve come across Punish Yourself before, an insane French industrial-punk-dayglo soundclash of a band, but not Sonic Area, who appear to be a lot more restrained and experimental on first listen. So, why have they come together? It appears to be related to the theme here about the mass media and the control it has over our lives, apparently – a lofty concept that, if I’m being honest, gets perhaps a little lost amid the music here. Particularly as vocals are sparse, other than the samples (of which more in a moment), and the first, and pretty much only, actual vocals appear in fifth track “Powercut”, a track that conversely sounds like it has been jacked directly into the mains, such is its furious energy.
The sampling sources are fascinating, though. A chaotic collage of TV, radio, speeches, soundtrack-esque orchestration, and I’m sure I even noted some Peter Gabriel at one point. Much of the album works as a continuous whole, sample-laden sections moving seemlessly into stirrings of industrial power, something shown to spectacular effect on “Twisted Thrill Ride” in particular. A monster is unleashed in the form of thunderous beats that are so heavy that they seem to keep advancing and getting louder, before being stripped away to leave an edgy ambience and part sound-collage.
But perhaps a little frustratingly the momentum gained from the first half of the half is almost all squandered by the lengthy and somewhat dull pairing of “The Higher We Fly…” and “Ici Bas”, even if the latter part of “Ici Bas” does move into near-free jazz territory as it fades away. The final tracks overdo the sample collage technique, too – the last three tracks cover well over twenty minutes of ominous rumbling, with samples from media sources filling in the rest. We get the point, folks, we really do.
Mass-media overload and overreach is certainly a concept that needs more attention, but overloading the message only serves my mind at least to tire easily. An album that is perhaps twenty minutes too long, which is a shame as there are some awesome musical and thematic ideas here. All in all, a frustrating release.
[Editor’s Note – Though not one to normally barge into the staff’s reviews, in this case I feel that, despite some valid points, the reviewer may have done an injustice to what I, and a couple of other staff, believe is a pretty good release (though admittedly something of an acquired taste).]

We sometimes hear that in CCD the optics have less importance, and in particular that the effects of the central obstruction of telescopes are far less "devastating" in digital imaging than in visual observation. Are there objective elements that can support this opinion?
The influence of obstruction (see What are the effects of obstruction?) can be summarized to a drop of contrast of the image in low and medium spatial frequencies. One can therefore consider it as an optical aberration in the same capacity as spherical aberration, misalignment or even a focus defect : all are wavefront degradations that cause a drop of contrast. Besides, it is interesting to notice that, as shown in the following MTF curve (see What is a MTF curve?), the influence of these different aberrations is quite similar. In particular, all show a general drop of contrast from the lowest frequencies. A simulation of atmospheric turbulence (see the book Star Testing Astronomical Telescopes) also show a quite similar drop of contrast.
Practice of CCD (or webcam) imaging has since a long time demonstrated the visible and irreparable effects of misalignment, strong spherical aberration or bad seeing on the quality of digital images as well as in visual observation. The most famous example is perhaps the Hubble Space Telescope that originally suffered from a strong spherical aberration whose consequence on its CCD images was disastrous since these images showed performances inferior to those of a good 16" telescope, although the optics of the HST have a diameter of 96" (it is coherent with the MTF curve of the original optics of the HST that show a drop of contrast in low and medium frequencies of about 6 times).
Everyone who practices planetary imaging knows that a CCD image is something fragile, taken in difficult conditions (low light, turbulence...) and where information is always ready to disappear before the least problem. It doesn't matter that a drop of contrast is due to a cause or another, it is still a drop of contrast and its effects are still the same: the subtle details disappear or vanish in the noise of the image. While all aberrations have visible effects, by which miracle the obstruction, and only it, could distinguish itself by negligible effects in digital imaging?
Image processing is indeed able to increase the contrast of a digital image but this manipulation presents strong limitations due to noise. Moreover, an increase of the contrast can be applied as well on an image taken with a low obstruction and an image taken with a higher obstruction: if there is a large difference of quality between both images before processing, the difference will remain of course after processing!
The is no objective reason to claim that the obstruction has less important effects in CCD. On the contrary, everything tends to prove that its effects can be felt in CCD as well as in visual observation. By way of consequence, the underlying claim that instruments obstructed at about 35% would present visual performances extremely damaged by their obstruction while being able of excellent CCD images is, as well, an idée reçue.
