So I read this book and finished it the same week it came out! I'm just now sitting down to write this though because, LIFE. Anyone else have some crazy storms where they are??
ANYWAYS…let me give you the info on this little number and then I'll get to it.
"Ever since Cass almost drowned (okay, she did drown, but she doesn't like to think about it), she can pull back the Veil that separates the living from the dead . . . and enter the world of spirits. Her best friend is even a ghost.
So this is a middle grade, and if you've read Victoria AKA V.E. Schwab before you know here books are always a little dark and twisted.
This book however I didn't think was that, "dark" and more of a child-like spooky tale that is perfect to get you into the Halloween mood regardless of age.
The best part of the book for me is the relationship between Cassidy and Jacob. They have a unique relationship thats kind of hard to get a grip on. Cassidy and Jacob are like siblings in a way in this book. Jacob can read Cass but Cass has no clue what's going on with him yet they would risk everything for the other. They are still learning to really trust each other yet that love is still there. It made me want to see how their relationship develops and see what all will happen to them as a unit.
The fact that I heard Victoria say that some of the little ghost tales in the book were taken from her own life, and her friends who claim to have experienced the supernatural made me read it even faster.
Hearing Victoria talk about this book made me want to read it immediately because I love the twisted tales of supernatural otherness. Having read it I would say it may bring in some new readers OR create lifetime lovers of spooky books. It's a book that I feel like if I had it as a kid I may have fallen for books earlier. I love the idea that these stories make you question what is possible in real life. Are ghosts real? Is there a veil? Could it be possible to cross it? I love that. As a kid I didn't ever read. My parents didn't read to me and I didn't have many books around me. My dad and I saw Harry Potter in theaters and then listened to the books together on audio because his eyes are bad and he couldn't read but thats about it for my childhood books. BUT as a teenager a friend of mine bugged me enough to read a book called Peeps by Scott Westerfeld and it was the book that made me love reading because it was this story that made me question what exactly was possible. Peeps is about vampires, and between each chapter it would give you an animal/bug/ect of some sort that related to the traits of vampires, then it would involve that trait in the book somehow. Like relating leeches to vampires drinking blood, that kind of thing. That was the book that really made me fall in love with reading and then I read every single vampire book I could get my hands on. I feel like city of ghosts could be that book for a younger audience. Make them grab up any book they can find about ghosts and the tales people weave about them. I enjoyed it and just feel like it could be the book that makes a young reader start to explore that darker genre of books.
That being said I read a few chapters with my 7 year old and he really liked it as well. So I think any age range could enjoy this book. I really liked the possibility of book two and where it will lead the story going forward.
So that's just my little jumbled thoughts. What do you think?? Have you read it?
Next postwhat I've been reading!!

I'm collaborating with for change dance collective. They will be dancing to some tunes of mine at their next show. Be sure to check it out, tickets here.
There was another big announcement earlier this week. You can view it here, and be sure to check back at this space for more information as things evolve.
I turned another year older, officially. So that happened.
And lastly, I spent the end of December in Florida. It was wonderful. Pics below.
By Joseph M. Colombo | October 20, 2015
Ah! It has been two months. Definitely due for an update.
I've been lax about posting recordings from past performances, so here are some to catch us all up. And if that's not enough, be sure to check out the newly renovated Events page for upcoming events and some media from old ones.

End of Summer '15
By Joseph M. Colombo | August 20, 2015
I had an absolute blast with Transient Canvas in town this past week. They did a killer job on my new work for them, and it was a privilege to get to hear them play Andy Vores, Marti Epstein, Brenna Noonan, and Adam Roberts. All fantastic pieces, not to mention plenty of merriment with TC while they were in town before and after the show. I will be sure to post a recording once one becomes available.
I am currently putting the finishing touches on a new work for the Elevate Ensemble, which will be featured on the opening concert of their season next month. Entitled B:R:X (pronounced brix), it is a three way homage to Beethoven, Ravel, and Xenakis.
And I am super excited for I Sing Words: The Poetry Project, which will feature my new song cycle for Jill Morgan Brenner, Frames. Using the poetry of Julia Lans Nowak, it is easily the largest amount of vocal music I have written so far and I can't wait to hear it.
Organ Story on Snap Shots SF
By Joseph M. Colombo | August 2, 2015
Head over to Snap Shots SF to take a look and a listen to my contribution there for this week: Organ Story. Inspired by my time as an organist for a Catholic Church.
And be sure to continue to check out the awesome work they put out every week, telling stories connected to and inspired by San Francisco.

"It's weird how I'm constantly surprised by the passage of time when it's literally the most predictable thing in the universe." ~Randall Munroe
There's a really profound compositional thought in there somewhere.
Anyway, it is well into July and I have no idea how that happened. I find myself in New Mexico for the second time in a month for a brief period of time. Unfortunately much too brief to make the quick trip up to Santa Fe from Albuquerque to catch my friend Dan Bates at the opera there. But not so quick that a sight seeing trip or two can't make its way in.
The Private Works of Puncher & Wattmann will be premiered by Transient Canvas at the Center for New Music on August 15th, and hopefully will be heard in the Boston area a bit as well. The program for the concert at the Center includes works by Andy Vores, Brenna Noonan, David Coll, and Adam Roberts. TC will then make it back into town to be featured on a GCG event later on. Very exciting.
A couple of upcoming projects with feature very low sounds, something I am looking forward to investigating.
NMOM @C4NM #1 Compilation
By Joseph M. Colombo | June 23, 2015
Here's a compilation video of the new music open mic night Meerenai Shim hosted this past Thursday at the Center for New Music, SF.
The piece I played is still sort of in progress, so keep an ear out for it to return in some grander fashion in the future.
Chapel of the Chimes 2015
Our setup for Chapel of the Chimes today. I'm playing with Anne Rainwater, Danny Clay, and Andy Meyers on.
Punch & Watt
I just finished up a piece for the marvelous Transient Canvas entitled The Private Works of Puncher & Wattmann.
If you haven't checked out their cache of youtube videos it is well worth the time.
I am looking forward to them premiering the new work here in San Francisco in a couple of months. Stay tuned for details.
Summer 2015 Begins
Time just seems to flow by, and all of a sudden it has been far too long since I have updated this space. My goal is to be better about that for a while to come. Hold me to it.
This year I am honored to be playing at the Garden of Memory at Chapel of the Chimes on the summer solstice. I will be playing in a quartet with three other fantastic musicians, and there will be ton of other amazing performers around in the space. This is definitely one of the not-to-be-missed annual music events in the Bay Area. If that's not enough to get you to come, all I'm going to add is the phrase "detuned harmonicas".
I am finishing up a new piece for Transient Canvas, who I have to say, have one of the best names of any music group, ever. I had known Amy and Matt from my time in Boston, and we met up again after they performed at the New Music Gathering. I am very excited to reconnect and work with them. They are phenomenal performers and have already made their mark in Boston. Plus Matt shares my enthusiasm for a good cigar. Stay tuned for more details to come on that front.
I am nearly finished on the song cycle Frames for the soprano Jill Morgan Brenner. As part of her poetry project she commissioned three other composers to write sets for her on contemporary poetry. I've gotten a peek at some of the other works, and I can say that the whole thing is going to be killer. Mark your calendars, the premier will happen on Sept. 12 at the Center for New Music.
Prodigal Opera Productions had its initial outing and was a huge success. Next up will be a workshop of a new libretto with multiple composers taking part. Because actual libretto writing is important and needs more attention, period. All of this is a part of its Overture season which is helping gear up for its first full season next year.
Meerenai Shim just came on as a curator for the Center for New Music. One of the awesome projects she is bringing in is a New Music Open Mic Night. That is happening next week, and I will be playing a new work for piano and fixed media.
Starting at the beginning of this year, I came on board as one of the hosts for Music from Other Minds. It has been a blast curating shows and I look forward to continuing to host at least a show a month.
I've put up a Bandcamp page for some of my electronic and ambient works, as promised. This will surely grow over the course of the year, but for now feel free to check out this collaboration I did earlier this year with the tenor Matt Habib, setting a John Keats poem.
And lastly, I've been on the twitters more. So tweet at me. @JMColombo

by Haley Longman
Christmas is a time for giving and getting gifts for us normal folk, but even famous people who have everything in the world imaginable enjoy the process of gifting during the holidays. Brooke Shields, Girl Code's Carly Aquilino, Lance Bass and more stars shared with us the best gifts they've either gotten themselves or given someone else, and they run the gamut from concert tickets to puppies to mix tapes to vacations abroad. Read on to see who got/gave what!

"My husband went to the Elizabeth Taylor auction and got me an Elizabeth Taylor ring. A coral ring. It was pretty incredible. I couldn't believe he pulled it off. I was amazed." - Brooke Shields
"My favorite gift at the holidays is those big tubs of popcorn that they have the caramel, the cheddar and the regular. That's all I need for Christmas. It just makes me feel like the holidays are here, and I eat the whole thing in a day, because that cheddar cheese is just so good." - Lance Bass

Carly Aquilino
"The best holiday gift I've ever gotten was a trip to Italy from my boyfriend. It's the best gift because I love cheese and wine." - Carly Aquilino from MTV's Girl Code

Rosie Pierri
"Kathy (Wakile) has sometimes surprised me in the past, and she'll have tickets for a show that Victoria and her and my mom and me will go to. That's a nice gift. Hey Kathy, if you're listening, I want a Broadway show." - Rosie Pierri from Real Housewives of New Jersey
Brie Bella
"The best gift I have ever given was I gave Bryan this wooden watch called a WeWood, and when you buy a watch they plant a tree. He wears it all the time, it is so cute. Then the best gift I've ever gotten, this is so crazy but it is so me; it was a burned CD and it was 12 songs and each song was something about me that made this person think of me in the words. It was so much fun to just listen to that over and over again and to hear each song and know that somebody thinks all this of you, you know what I mean? Even though it might be Axl Rose singing it. It is a gift that I never got sick of, it never didn't fit anymore, it never became old, it always felt new." - Brie Bella from E!'s Total Divas
"A pair or socks or underwear. You can't go wrong with socks. You can't go wrong with underwear, either." - Austin Mahone
"Giving someone, I gave my brother a car I think two years ago, that's the most expensive gift. Best gift? I always try to be interesting with mine especially with my mom and my dad I want to give them something that means something. I'm thinking of a surprise gift that I wanna give them but I can't say because I don't know when this is gonna come out (laughs)." - Ryan Guzman from Pretty Little Liars
Kelli Berglund
"One of the best gifts I've ever received was concert tickets to Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran at the Staples Center!" - Kelli Berglund from Disney's Lab Rats
"The biggest reaction I probably had ever out of a gift was when I got my first video game which was the Game Boy. When I opened it up under that Christmas tree I was freaking out. I loved it. I opened it up, I was jumping up and down, I thanked my parents, I finished up and I ran into my room, charged it, and played games all day long. That's what got me into video games and I still play video games today." - Cody Christian from Pretty Little Liars
Carissa Moore
"Probably my promise ring that I got from my boyfriend last Christmas. It's just really simple. It has a cute little square diamond in the middle. It's like a cute little overband. I loved it." - World Champion surfer Carissa Moore
Jerry Ferrara
"I was raised by a single mom and I was at the age where I wanted a real cool bike. I was like blown away, it was the exact bike I wanted. But what made it even cooler was I remember waking up in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve and hearing her in the living room putting it together and like, cursing because it was so hard. Like 'son of a bitch.'" - Jerry Ferrara from Entourage
Photo credit: Courtesy Photo
Sadie and John Luke Robertson
"Best gift was we got this little dog—it's a long haired Chihuahua named Max and my mom completely surprised us. We'd been wanting a dog that whole year." - Sadie and John Luke Robertson from Duck Dynasty
Maiara Walsh
"I like making things for Christmas presents. I think one year I made something for my friends with my ex, like I wrote a poem and he designed this really cool thing behind it and we put it on really interesting pieces of fabric. We made like 15 or 20 of them and we gave them to all of our friends. I think it was a fun way for us to be creative together and also to give something meaningful to our friends so they could hang it on their walls if they wanted to. " - Maiara Walsh from The Starving Games
Ariane Andrews
"A vacation for my mom and my stepdad, it was for them to go anywhere they wanted, and received? Hmm.. a new car form my mom. I remember that back in the college days she got me a new car for Christmas." - Ariane Andrews from E!'s Total Divas

The Economy: The State of The Union clearly showed the sharp divide in the U.S. electorate. Pick your flavor. Markets have cheered Trump since the election. Given the ongoing economic expansion, expect the Fed to continue to tap-the-brakes with further interest rate hikes. Jay Powell replaces Yellen as Fed Chair at cob today. Yellen was the most dovish Fed Chair in history. Powell, by contrast is on record as saying, "… it is not the Fed's job to stop people from losing money." This in itself will be a sea-change, if there is follow through, since the Fed has been stock market driven since the Financial Crisis. Markets, the media and investors in particular have been enamored with synchronized global growth, tax cuts, profit repatriation, one-time bonuses and historically low unemployment. The Fed interest rate moves have created every expansion and every recession; every bull and every bear market. Party on Garth!
Food for Thought: What is your long-game? Gonzo Hunter Thompson spoke for some when he said, "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!" For most however, there are more prosaic goals such as planning for retirement, creating an estate or other bequeaths to family, friends and charitable organizations.

The Economy: The Fed's Beige Book, a measure of the national economy, was released last week. It showed a soft economy. The preamble was optimistic but the details were less so. Combined with the economic hit form Harvey and Irma, the Fed is likely on hold through year end. This continues the "lower for longer" interest rate scenario we had for the past several years. The hurricanes have dominated the headlines for the past week. NAFTA, the White House half-life of Gary Cohn and North Korean threats have faded to black … at least for the moment. Since the world didn't end with either NOKO's nuclear war threats or the hurricanes, stocks are again on a rocket-ride to infinity and beyond. This despite comments by the following scaredy cats: 2017_09_06: Deutsche Bank Chief Executive Officer John Cryan "We're now seeing bubbles everywhere"; 2017_09_06 Lloyd Blankfein, CEO, Goldman Sachs: … (world financial markets) "have been going up for too long"; 2017_09_11 Seth Klarman of Baupost Group: "… plans to return capital to investors by year-end due to a lack of opportunities"; 2017_09_12 John Hussman of The Hussman Funds: "I view the market as having no investment merit at all here." Like I said, scaredy cats! They should be tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail for thinking that stocks could possibly do anything other than go up forever.
Food for Thought: Taki Magazine reports that in a tip of the hat to globalism, multiculturalism and identity politics, "… the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) has launched a website in Pidgin English. The BBC points out that Pidgin English is 'an informal lingua franca. It is a language that really unites people and cuts across all sorts of barriers—ethnic, regional and socio-economic." The new site's headlines feature Pidgin droppings such as "Indian woman divorce husband because dem get no toilet," "Why dem dey call Hurricane human being name," "How Tanzania dey kill mosquito," and our personal favorite, "Why China dey chop African Donkey." Nothing new here. Anyone who's had children in school recognizes this patois as proficient english for graduating seniors. Next up, Gullah.

The Economy: Politics continue to trump economics; though the numbers continue to show an economy expanding below expectations. August which is supposed to be the sleepy month of vacations has turned out to be action packed. The latest episode of House of Cards opened with the rush to World War 3; narrowly averted when the NOKO Doughboy blinked or The Donald turned a blind eye to further threats; your choice. Financial markets had a fit then recovered from the head-fake. Next up The Charlottesville Brawl and subsequent slugfest masquerading as a press conference. This was followed by the orchestrated exit of business leaders from the administration's lineup. Two national business advisory councils were then dissolved and the rumor was that Trump's chief economic advisor, Gary Cohn, was going to resign. Instead, Friday saw the White House departure of Steve Bannon who vied with Vladimir Putin for the administration's title of "Master Puppeteer." Again, markets spasmed into another head-fake. Stay on vacation; The Circus will still be in town when your return.
Food for Thought: Just when you hoped that your money would become more interesting, your dreams have been shattered by more fun and games. Except for checking your parachute there's little to thrill with markets again near all-time highs and Kumbaya sung from every bank, brokerage firm and advisor. This week sees the Jackson Hole confab for the Master of The Universe Wannabes. Super Mario Draghi will croon "I'm Just a Gigolo." Yellen will speak on "Financial Stability." Interest rates will be lower for longer and come September there will be more kicking the can down the road because shrinking the Fed balance sheet will be cause for the Fed to sing A Cappella, AC/DCs "Highway to Hell."

Doncaster police fine motorist for driving with frosted up windscreen
Cyclist suffers serious injuries after machete attack in Doncaster town centre
Two men and teen found guilty of Doncaster man's death in 'feral attack'
Two men and a 15-year-old boy have been found guilty of their roles in the death of Doncaster man in what was described as a 'feral attack.'
By Darren Burke
Friday, 26th March 2021, 7:00 pm
Jerry Appicella, who was 51, was attacked by a group of young men brandishing a brick and a metal bar, as he made his way home from his local shop in Denaby Main on 3 December, 2019.
Officers discovered Mr Appicella's body at his home, on Craganour Place, 12 days later, when his family reported him missing.
Yesterday, Shae Nicholson, 20, Martell Fabian Brown, 24, Kian Gerrard, 20, and a 15-year-old boy who cannot be named appeared before Sheffield Crown Court.
Shae Nicholson and Martell Fabian Brown have been found guilty of the death of Jerry Appicella.
Following a four week trial, Nicholson was found guilty of murder, while Brown and the 15-year-old boy were found guilty of manslaughter. Gerrard was found not guilty.
During the trial, the court heard how their motive for the attack was simply 'because they wanted to', but that various other factors, such as Mr Appicella's sexuality, his appearance, or his alcohol dependency, possibly played a part.
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Simon Palmer said: "On the evening of the attack, this group of young men had been hanging around the Go Local store in Denaby Main, generally being rowdy, creating a hostile atmosphere for shoppers.
"One of those people was Jerry Appicella; whilst he lived a mainly solitary life, he was a familiar face in the community, visiting the shop daily. On that particular evening, Mr Appicella came to the attention of these four men, who taunted and mocked him while he was in the shop.
Police found Mr Appicella's body at his house in Denaby Main.
"The four waited outside the shop and Mr Appicella began to make his way home down a nearby alleyway. What he didn't know, was that the group had come up with a plan to ambush him. CCTV footage clearly shows Nicholson, crouched down, lying in wait and the others stalking him from behind.
"The attack was brutal; Nicholson used a brick to attack him and his 15-year-old attacker landed blows with a metal pole. A woman who had previously offered to walk Mr Appicella home, witnessed the final throes of the attack, and rushed to his side as the group fled the scene."
Mr Appicella was taken home by the woman and locked his door behind him.
He is believed to have died from his injuries just hours later.
A post mortem concluded his cause of death was severe head trauma, sustained during the attack.
DCI Palmer continued: "Mr Appicella's family tried to contact him over the following week and then contacted police, concerned for his welfare. Officers forced entry to his home on 15 December and a murder investigation was quickly launched.
"Central to the investigation has been detailed examination of CCTV footage, which provided us with a clear timeline of events and captured the attack itself.
"Nicholson was also caught on CCTV bragging about the attack in the Go Local store and using homophobic slurs to describe his victim."
All four men were identified and arrested between 18 and 24 December and were later charged.
The two men and 15 year-old boy will be sentenced in May.


As the Olympic Games Rio 2016 are taking place, we are sharing a photo of fish with a Brazilian origin, the Fireball Angel (Centropyge aurantonotus). It isn't competing in the Olympics as a swimmer, but its bright yellow and dark blue color sure scream summer swimming. This angelfish is good for the aquarium environment and it adapts well to eating prepared foods, but exercise caution when adding it with other tank mates as it may act aggressively towards them.


Yes, that's just the way I feel like this morning. It was 10 degrees outside a little while ago, the wind cuts to the bone in seconds, and I have things to do. Up here next to the Blue Ridge Parkway, we are beginning to have real winter weather.
I thought I would "season" the picture to convey the way my body feels at the prospect of going outside and splitting wood this morning.
Waxing philosophical, I think of days spent loafing instead of storing up against hard times. More thoughts of how a single year is a pattern for life. Those who prepare early can relax during hard times and old age, etc., etc.
Then, I brighten up and realize that I have work to do and time's a wasting. I will fire up the tractor, split wood, haul it, stack it, and then deliver some finished work to clients who have been out of town.
But, first, another cup of coffee. Old habits die hard.
Must always take time to smell the roses…or the coffee!
Let's all go have a good day.

Why did the women's movement split into two separate national organizations?
When did the feminist organization split?
What did the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage do?
Formed in 1890, NAWSA was the result of a merger between two rival factions–the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, and the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA), led by Lucy Stone, Henry Blackwell, and Julia Ward Howe.
National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), American organization created in 1890 by the merger of the two major rival women's rights organizations—the National Woman Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association—after 21 years of independent operation.
But the women's movement fragmented over tactics and broke into two distinct organizations in 1869: the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) and the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA). Stanton and Anthony created the NWSA and directed its efforts toward changing federal law.
IT\'S FUNNING: Frequent question: What is the difference between liberal feminism?
1890 After several years of negotiations, the NWSA and the AWSA merge to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. … Wyoming joins the union as the first state with voting rights for women.
The woman's rights movement split in 1869 into two groups: the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA), led by Lucy Stone, which backed the 15th Amendment giving black males the vote; and the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA), led by "irreconcilables" Susan B.
That idea did not go far but soon the two sides were meeting to try to negotiate an agreement to merge. By January 1889 an agreement in principal was reached to merge the two organizations.
Formed in 1913 as the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, the organization was headed by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns.
The Progressive Campaign for Suffrage
This animosity eventually faded, and in 1890 the two groups merged to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was the organization's first president.
The roles as house wives were to bear children, take care of the young ones as well as submitting to the husbands. Socially, women were considered weaker hence unequal to their men counterparts. Some people would compare such a condition as slavery. Women had no control of their lives.
IT\'S FUNNING: Your question: Is feminism a theme in literature?
This Day in History: National Organization for Women was Founded. Summary: On June 30, 1966, the National Organization for Women was founded by a group of activists who wanted to end sex discrimination. Today, the organization remains as a cornerstone of the women's rights movement.
The Seneca Falls Convention was the first women's rights convention in the United States. Held in July 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York, the meeting launched the women's suffrage movement, which more than seven decades later ensured women the right to vote.
The leaders of this campaign—women like Susan B. Anthony, Alice Paul, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone and Ida B. Wells—did not always agree with one another, but each was committed to the enfranchisement of all American women.
After the Civil War, the women's suffrage movement split into two factions over the 15th Amendment. … They assumed that the rights of women would be championed alongside the rights of black men and they opposed the Amendment on the basis of women's exclusion.
IT\'S FUNNING: Question: Was Their Eyes Were Watching God a feminist novel?
The American Equal Rights Association dissolved after the 1869 meeting and the women's rights movement split into two distinct groups, never reuniting again during the 19th century.
The Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage was an American organization formed in 1913 led by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns to campaign for a constitutional amendment guaranteeing women's suffrage.

Next: 7. Map Characterization Up: The FIRST Survey: Faint Previous: 5. The Observations
6. The Data Reduction and Analysis Pipeline
The primary data stream from the FIRST survey consists of 5-second samples of the correlated signal from each of the 351 VLA antenna pairs in each of 14 3-MHz frequency channels in each of two IF bands, or 324,000 samples of the UV plane per 165-second integration. There are 215 pointings per 10.5-hour day (including calibration observations), or per season's observing run. This data rate, along with the attendant requirement of eventually producing from these data 65,000 pixel images leads to certain imperatives for the data reduction and analysis pipeline. It must require a minimum of human intervention, and must be able to keep up with the data flow; both objectives must be achieved without compromising the quality of the final maps. Thus, we require a highly reliable, automated system which incorporates optimal editing, calibration, mapping, CLEANing and coadding procedures. We have designed, built, and tested extensively a pipeline system meeting these requirements. The system uses three scripts based on standard AIPS tasks, but incorporates several special-purpose tasks and modifications to standard procedures which we have produced specifically for the pipeline. In this section, we describe the innovative aspects of the pipeline developed for FIRST; detailed descriptions of standard AIPS tasks are available in the EXPLAIN files of the AIPS system.
Following standard FILLing of the data from the VLA on-line system, the phase and amplitude calibration is done using the calibration sources observed for this purpose. However, no data editing is carried out prior to pipeline processing. These raw UV data with initial calibrations applied are archived at the VLA and a copy is sent to IGGP/LLNL for pipeline ingest.
Two AIPS tasks, UVLIN and CLIP are used to flag bad visibility data resulting from man-made or natural radio frequency interference, receiver problems, or correlator failure. UVLIN is run twice, once at the outset with a threshold of 5 Jy, and again at the end of the self-calibration loop with a lower threshold, determined with UVPRM and equal to the sum of 10%of the zero-spacing flux plus (typically Jy). After the first UVLIN run, the task CLIP is run on a channel-by-channel basis with a threshold determined again from UVPRM. For the second pass of UVLIN, the position of the brightest source in the field is used as a temporary phase center, since this facilitates UVPRM's ability to model the data owing to the slower changes in the amplitudes of the UV components. These tasks are highly effective in removing corrupted visibility data. The message files generated by the two tasks are examined in order to determine for which fields significant ( ) data loss has occurred; for the 1993 observing season, fewer than 2%of the 2153 fields were affected by interference at this level, and only a small fraction of these require reobservation.
The problem of self-calibrating the visibility data had the potential of requiring unobtainable levels of computational resources. To avoid the necessity of repeatedly creating images, we have adopted a number of efficient procedures. Before a single image is created, a search of the Green Bank 20 cm and 6 cm catalogs (Becker et al. 1991; White and Becker 1992) finds all sources with mJy within 10 degrees of the field center. A tapered map is then produced which includes the full area of the primary beam along with a number of smaller images centered on off-axis sources that, given the primary beam pattern, will appear brighter than 2 mJy. The tapered image as well as the satellite images are then searched for all sources above 2 mJy. The positions and flux densities of these sources are stored in a file for later use (note that these files already constitute a radio source catalog superior to any in existence). With this list of all sources contributing to a field, it is possible to self-calibrate the data with roughly a dozen pixel maps, rather than all-encompassing images. If the tapered map reveals any source brighter than 30 mJy, a three-iteration phase self-calibration is carried out. In most cases, the phase changes resulting from this self-calibration are less than deg.
Before the data are imaged, the task UVFIX is run to improve the accuracy of the astrometric solution. The data are then passed through the task UBAVG which effectively increases the integration time where possible in order to reduce the total number of visibility points without degrading the final image. Natural weighting is used in gridding the UV data.
The final step before constructing the CLEANed image is to shift the center of the map by up to one pixel ( ) to assure that the brightest source in the image falls precisely at a pixel center. This procedure has been shown to reduce the sidelobe level from the brightest source in the final map. The shift is determined from a dirty map made expressly for this purpose; only fields with sources brighter than 25 mJy undergo this procedure.
A miscentered bright source is only one of the effects that produce avoidable sidelobes in the final image. Two others which we have attempted to avoid result from adding together data collected at several different frequencies. Since the primary beam response is frequency-dependent, a source at the edge of the primary beam where the gradient in the response is steepest can appear very different in the two IFs. Likewise, sources with non-zero spectral indices will also differ between the two frequency bands. Thus, if the two IFs are merged before mapping, the CLEANing process will not succeed in subtracting correctly 100%of the source flux, leaving behind unnecessarily high sidelobes. The obvious solution is to image the two IFs separately, but doing so reduces the UV coverage in the map which leads to larger sidelobes - just what we are trying to avoid. The solution to this dilemma is a compromise which we find produces maps with minimum sidelobe contamination.
Initially, we map and CLEAN the two IFs separately down to a flux density limit of 10 mJy using the newly created task WFCLZ (a modified version of WFCLN). Maps from WFCLZ are then written to disk with all the residuals set to zero. The CLEAN components from each map are subtracted from the visibility data of their respective IFs. The task WFCLN is then run on the two IFs combined until a CLEANing limit of 0.5 mJy is reached or 10,000 CLEAN components have been subtracted, whichever comes first. When this CLEAN is finished, the two earlier maps containing the bright sources are averaged together and added to the third image. Thus, the deep CLEAN is made with the full UV coverage, while the bright components have not been compromised by differences between the two IFs.
The final map suffers from significant distortion resulting from the use of a two-dimensional FFT to approximate the curved celestial sphere (see Perley 1989 for a full discussion of this effect). This distortion is removed with the task OHGEOM. Another small distortion, due to annual aberration, is removed by changing the pixel size of each map by a small amount (typically 1 part in ). The final images have systematic astrometric uncertainties of .
The final step in the pipeline is to sum adjacent images both in order to obtain better signal to noise and to improve coverage uniformity. In general, each field has significant overlap with 12 other fields in the grid. These 12 maps are truncated at a radius of , weighted by the square of the primary beam response, and summed (see Condon et al. 1994 for a full justification of this procedure). Given the degree of overlap of the pointing grid, complete coadded images need be constructed only for pointing centers in every other declination strip. The resulting coadded images have a peak to peak sensitivity variation of only over the entire survey region (Figure 6) and allow for the detection of up to 50%more sources than are observed in the single field images. The dynamic range of the final images is .

Separating bees from honey can be accomplished by either physical or chemical means. The physical means can be divided into fast and expensive (bee blowers) or slow and inexpensive (bee escapes). The slow and inexpensive can be further divided into those that work and those that don't.
Chemical repellants (often called repellant boards, fume boards, or acid boards) are most often used by commercial beekeepers because they are quick, cheap, and require only one visit to the apiary. The chemical used (usually butyric propionic anhydride or benzaldehyde) is spayed or sprinkled on an absorbent pad affixed to a board. The board is then place over the top of the honey supers. In about five minutes, the bees will have left and the supers can be removed.
These chemicals are toxic, temperature dependent, excite the bees, and smell horrible. Your family may not let you back in the house after you've used this stuff. Worse, if used longer than about five minutes, off-flavors may be imparted to the wax cappings, honey, or both. In my opinion, chemical repellants should not be used by hobbyists.
Bee blowers, aside from being expensive, can also be hard on the bees. If the outside temperature is cold, bees blown away may not be able to return home. In addition, you run the risk of blowing away your queen. If you own a leaf blower, you may want to try this method, but be careful about the air temperature and the whereabouts of your queen before you start.
Bee escapes come in dozens and dozens of designs although only a few are commonly available from the bee supply houses. If you like to build your own equipment, a quick search of the Internet can provide you with plans for the simple to the complex. All bee escapes work on the same principle: they provide one-way passages so that once the bees leave the super, they can't find their way back in.
Bee escapes are mounted in or on boards known as "clearer boards" or "escape boards." The board is placed between the honey supers and the hive. At night, when the temperature drops, the bees go through the escape and descend into the hive to form a cluster. In the morning, they can't find their way back into the super.
If left on the hive for more than about 48 hours, the bees will eventually learn their way back into the supers. Also, they may begin building bridge comb (burr comb) in or around the board.
There can be no cracks, openings, or holes above the escape boards. Any holes will be used by returning foragers, robbers, or predators (yellow jackets) to get to the honey. If a robbing frenzy begins, there may be no honey left by the time the beekeeper returns.
Although they are inexpensive, bee escapes usually require more than one day and more than one trip to the apiary.
The types most often seen in the beekeeping catalogs are the Porter bee escape and the triangle escape board. Although I try to keep an open mind about most pieces of equipment, I draw the line right here.
The Porter bee escape costs almost nothing—and you get what you pay for: almost nothing. In fact, because bees seem to multiply behind the Porter escape, it is worse than nothing. For the life of me I cannot get these things to work.
The Porter escape is a little plastic gadget that you insert in the hole of an inner cover. Then you take this modified inner cover, place it below the supers, and wait for the bees to leave. Be prepared to wait for a really long time. Start reading War and Peace. Better yet, write a sequel. Your bees will probably die before they decide to squeeze through that thing.
Some people say that you can take an inner cover and modify it to hold about six Porters. This, I'm told, works much better. But after you buy a cover and six Porters, you have spent more money than the cost of a really nice triangle escape board—which works like a dream.
Although the triangle escape board works under the same principle, it is somehow more comfortable for the bees. I leave it on only one night. By the next day there is never more than five or six bees left in the supers. Sometimes there are none. After years of using this thing, I wouldn't do it any other way.
Make sure there is space below the escape board for the bees to go. If the hive is really crowded, you may want to add an empty super below the escape board.
If there is any brood in the supers, the bees will stay with it. To get completely empty supers, make sure they contain no brood.
If you are in a hurry, you can place a bottom board with a standard opening on a hive stand. On top of the bottom board place your escape board. On top of that stack the supers from multiple hives. As mentioned earlier, make sure the stack contains no cracks, openings, or holes where robbers could enter. The bees will move down through the stack, through the escape board, and will eventually fly back to their respective hives.
Here in the UK, Porter escapes are the most common. They DO work, but need adjusting every time they are used, and require constant cleaning.
I use the 8-way round escapes (see http://www.dave-cushman.net/bee/8wayescapebd.html.) and they can clear a stack of 3 supers in 2-4 hours.
If you put wet supers back over the top of a (Canadian type) clearer board, the bees will find a way through, and clean the supers out like there is no tomorrow!
I used porters for years, then the triangle boards, and then the 4 sided board . The 4 sided board is superior and fun. It is a stampede as far as I can tell. 2 days works for me, no more no less. Usually only 6-10 bees left. Just make sure to have pencil width passages so there is no turning back.
Do you ever get fighting in your stack with supers from different colonies? I would think that combining all those bees together might result in some warfare.
Guard bees fend off intruders at the entrance, but once the bees get inside the hive they are generally accepted. In other words, they have made it past the border patrol so they must be okay. When you stack honey supers on a foreign colony, the bees are already inside the hive so fighting rarely occurs. Next time those bees are outside, they just fly home to their regular hive. The mixing of bees is especially easy when lots of bees are introduced at once because it is just too confusing for everyone to know who is an intruder and who belongs there.
If you are still uneasy with the concept, you can always stack the supers above the escape board on a completely empty hive. Once the bees go down through the escape board they will find nothing there and each will fly back to her own hive.
I have heard down here in Australia, that the SHB can infestate a super when using clearer boards once the bees have escaped to the lower boxes. Has anyone come across this situation or heard of this?
Cheers and merry xmas to all.
I have read the use of bee escapes but i don't know their cost. Please tell me their cost. I live in Kigali capital of Rwanda.I have a cooperative of beekeepers but all of us are beginners. We need your help.
Bee escapes, especially the small plastic "porter" type, are very inexpensive. However, I do not sell bee equipment.
You can easily make a triangle escape board out of a box-sized piece of plywood, two sets of spacers (1 bee-space thick x 3/4″ x a length that will make a large unilateral triangle), screen or hardware cloth to cover triangle and a border for the plywood to provide clearance over and under between the other boxes.
Drill a 1″ hole in the center of the plywood and lay out around this a large equilateral triangle. Cut the first set of spacers to this size, allowing an angled bee-space gap at each juncture. One bee-space inside of the first triangle, construct a smaller triangle with gaps that align with the first. Cover all with screen, attaching to the large triangle.
Attach spacer strips around the rim of the plywood, and that's it. The theory is the bees leave the upper box through the hole and are directed to small escapes at the vertices some distance from the hole, when they try to return, they are drawn by the odor coming through the hole in the plywood and congregate there, never venturing out to the points of the triangle.
Hi, small question. I have inherited my dad's few colonies of bees (about 6 hives), and I need to move one of them to the site where the others are (it's more then 3 miles away). I have limited experience with dealing with the bees themselves, all my experience is with the processing of the honey and wax afterwards.
I have all the equipment, but what is the best time of day to fit a bee escape? And I'm thinking it's ok to clear down a couple of supers in one go rather then one at a time? Also, is it best to get them all into the brood box then move them or is it best to put a new super on the top? Also I'm not at a point at the moment to have the room to deal with extracting and all that, so when I move the hive, I can just put the original full supers back on for the moment?
Simple questions maybe, but would like to just check on all these things.
1. I don't think it matters when you put the escape on. However, the bees usually won't clear the supers until they cluster in the evenings. If it is very warm, sometimes they won't clear for two or three days, so be patient.
2. Yes, you can clear a whole stack at once.
3. I would get them down to the smallest size possible before moving them; it is easier and you are less likely to get something out of alignment during the move. So yes, I would get them all into the brood box if possible.
4. Once you get them moved you can put the honey supers back in place.
Thanks for the advice. Another question: I remember my dad changing supers at nighttime sometimes. If all the bees are in the brood box, is it ok to remove supers at nighttime or at least fit clearer boards? Have plenty of lights where they are and also would be better for my work schedule. I'm thinking if that's the case, then not to smoke them at night? I was really young when I remember him doing this, so don't know how or why he was doing it at night.
I suppose the theory of doing it at night is all the bees will be clustered down below in the brood box instead of in the supers. But if it is very warm, they don't cluster so much as hang around the hive wherever they can. I've had them spend two or three days in the supers before going down through the clearer board, so I suppose it will vary with temperature and other conditions.
I was always taught to add the clearer boards in the middle of the day when half the population is out foraging so you have fewer bees to deal with. On the other hand, it isn't going to make any difference to the hive. You should do it at a time that suits you.
The same goes for smoke. Bees will fly out at night if they are disturbed, so if you normally use smoke you may want to use it at night as well. Maybe someone with nighttime experience will chime in here? Since I never use smoke, I'm biased against it.
First year, first timer. I waited a season. I added the 8-way bee escape. Urban environment, Warre, minimal supplemental feeding, Italian. Well, it's been two days. I'm checking on the third mid-day. I can't wait' It's raining. It will be raining. There are so many bees I can believe. No way that box is cleared in just two days. I'm not sure where my percentage of cappings are, probably lucky. I'm a lucky dude, well see I probably could of waited more days till summers end but the weather is about to go bad, or worse.
If your supers are not clearing, you may have a queen or brood up there. I would look for that first. If any brood at all is in those supers, they will not clear.
You are right. I was stupid to not check first I i know for sure queen not up there. got about 4 whole solid frames capped then about 3 frames emerging brood like, popping out in my kitchen, and little nectar uncapped. It was raining, I just blew them off and dumped them by they hive, not cool. What was I thinking. I deserve a thousands stings.

This quartet is the culmination of Glen Steenkiste's long fascination with the harmonium, expanding beautifully upon the themes laid out by Helvette's sprawling Droomharmonium (2018). That said, this album feels like a bit of a different animal altogether, as this league of Belgian drone artists takes the kernel of Steenkiste's vision to a considerably transformed place. In fact, Het Interstedelijk Harmoniumverbond feels like an inspired continuation of the grand tradition of La Monte Young-style minimalism, weaving complexly harmonic and gorgeously undulating dronescapes that favorably call to mind masterpieces like The Electric Harpsichord.
The earliest origins of Steenkiste's long love affair with the harmonium remain unknown to me, but it was the band Pelt that first opened his eyes to the possibilities of making it the foundation for his own work. It was more of a slowly gestating philosophical evolution than a radical, immediate transformation, however. Though Steenkiste had played similar instruments before, it was not until he was touring through England in 2010 (as part of Sylvester Anfang II) that he finally got to spend time with the real deal. It is quite fitting that it was an Anfang tour that ultimately (if indirectly) lit the fuse for this endeavor, as it seems like nearly every experimental musician in Belgium has done time in one of Anfang's incarnations. In the case of the Harmoniumverbond, Steenkiste shares that history with Steve Marreyt (Edgar Wappenhalter), though I am delighted to report that they were also both involved with something called Chainsaw Gutsfuck. The quartet is rounded out by David Edren, who previously collaborated with Steenkiste in Brahmen Raag, as well as Brecht Ameel of Razen. All four artists live in different cities, so it was not until Steenkiste was approached by Kraak about creating an ensemble for the Eastern Daze festival in 2017 that a project of this scope became a viable possibility. Prior to that, Steenkiste had experimented quite a bit with multitracking himself to achieve a similar effect, but the fixed nature of that approach fundamentally undercut the organic, flowing vision that he was trying to achieve.
The album is divided into two side-long pieces, "Balg" (Bellows) and "Reit" (Reeds). In a general sense, the two pieces are quite similar, as each is essentially a single rich chord that endlessly waxes, wanes, and subtly transforms over the course of roughly twenty minutes. The two pieces have somewhat divergent trajectories though, as "Balg" opens with a dense, dissonant chord teeming with murky, ugly harmonies, while "Riet" opens with a single, quavering tone and steadily builds from there. The starting point is almost irrelevant, however, as it is the blossoming and gently hallucinatory evolution of each piece that is the real show: pulses and oscillations cohere, clouds of overtones swirl, shades of darkness and light flicker and vanish, and new chord shapes endlessly converge and dissipate. If I had to choose, "Balg" is probably the stronger of the two pieces, as it achieves a kind of majestic, transcendent heaviness right from the start, seamlessly blurring the lines between immersive, hypnotic reverie and a menacingly shivering and shimming haze of uneasy harmonies. "Reit," on the other hand, is more of a slow-burning affair, gradually amassing density and complex harmonies as it quietly moves towards a quivering and elegiac crescendo. Both pieces are wonderful and unfold in a very satisfying and absorbing dynamic arc.
It is not exactly fair to compare this album to Droomharmonium, as the latter was a solo release and Het Interstedelijk Harmoniumverbond is very much a collaborative endeavor, but it does feel like Steenkiste's vision became much more focused over the last couple of years. However, it is equally possible that his vision did not change at all and he merely benefited greatly from recording in an actual studio and having three other artists to help shape these pieces into their optimal forms. I would be curious to know if these pieces were performed completely "live" and how much overdubbing or editing might have taken place, as Steenkiste took quite a purist approach when he was on his own. This album feels considerably more edited and is the better for it. Rather than suffering from "too many cooks" syndrome, Het Interstedelijk Harmoniumverbond have chiseled that vision to taut, uncluttered, and fluidly unfolding perfection. While it might be a stretch to call these drone pieces "compositions," these loosely structured channelings feel thoughtfully condensed and distilled, unhurriedly yet ceaselessly moving forward at all times and never wasting a single note or lapsing into stasis. Moreover, the spell this album casts is a beautifully timeless one, deftly dissolving the delineations that separate the medieval, the ritualistic, and the contemporary experimental music scene. Het Interstedelijk Harmoniumverbond is the rarest of jewels: a four-way collaboration that can easily stand with any of the individual artists' strongest work.


The Cook County Board of Commissioners voted 15-2 to repeal the penny-per-ounce levy on artificially and sugar-sweetened drinks. The tax stays in effect until the start of the new county fiscal year on Dec. 1.
It had been in place since January, but a lawsuit from Illinois retailers and backed by the beverage industry delayed collections until August. Its fate was sealed on Tuesday, when the board's finance committee voted 15-1 to rescind what supporters had hoped would bring in $200 million a year for the county's strapped budget.
Board President Toni Preckwinkle has said eliminating the soda tax would cause an 11 percent across-the-board cut in programs providing health care to the poor and operating the criminal justice system.
Brown said the beverage industry's "spin" won out over the issues of health.
Sarah Y. Song, M.D., told the packed audience at the Cook County Finance Committee meeting on Tuesday that sugary drinks cost the public dearly — in negative health effects.
The American Beverage Association backed the Can the Tax Coalition that spent millions on anti-tax ads, rallies and neighborhood canvassing. Tax supporters, including former New York City mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg, also poured millions into the fight.
Cook County, with 5.2 million residents, had been the country's largest area to pass a sweetened beverage tax. According to the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest, eight jurisdictions approved some form of the drink tax in the past few years, with Seattle's city council vote in June being the most recent.
In May, however, Santa Fe, New Mexico, voters rejected a 2-cents-per-ounce tax referendum. And last week, Michigan legislators sent a measure to the governor intended to prevent local governments from passing soda taxes.
Still, Jim O'Hara, CSPI's director for health promotion policy, said the Cook County vote won't stop other communities from taking up the soda tax fight. He said the taxes work to change behavior and bring in needed revenues for health programs.

The Number of the Beast je třetí studiové album heavy metalové kapely Iron Maiden.

V britském žebříčku se umístilo na prvním místě, stalo se jedním ze zásadních heavymetalových alb a vyneslo kapelu ke slávě. Samostatně vyšly singly Run to the Hills a The Number of the Beast.
Rozšířená/remasterovaná verze CD obsahuje před Hallowed Be Thy Name bonusovou skladbu "Total Eclipse".

Po úspěchu alba Killers a turné v roce 1981 byl zpěvák Paul Di'Anno, kvůli svým rostoucím problémům s alkoholem a drogami, z Iron Maiden vyhozen. The Number of the Beast je tedy debutovým albem Bruce Dickinsona, který přišel ze skupiny Samson.

Hit "Run To the Hills" se umístil na #7 a titulní skladba "The Number of the Beast" na #18.

Album bylo ale zároveň kritizováno za temné texty v titulní skladbě a za obal. Nakonec však dokázalo, že jde o mistrovské dílo klasického metalu.

Rob Halford z Judas Priest vzpomíná: "Po Nové vlně britského heavy metalu tato nahrávka skutečně dokázala, že se Iron Maiden stanou celosvětovou silou."

Q: Mac OS X - How to Symlink /home to /Users For those of us who dabble in penguins and apples, it seems very worth while to be able to use /home paths either out of habbit or for those odd cases where the value may have been sync'd somewhere along the line in some file you use on both machines.

A: I regret this answer is not exactly authoritative, since I've never actually done this myself--though I have used a similar automounter on other Unix systems--but here's my understanding as to what /home is used for on OS X.
So, let's follow the trail:
If you first type mount in Terminal to show active mounts, you'll see this line:
map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)

autofs maps are defined in /etc/auto_master, and /home is in turn defined specifically in /etc/auto_home.  If you take a look at /etc/auto_home, you'll see this line:
+/usr/libexec/od_user_homes

Follow the trail one more step to the od_user_homes man page, and you'll find a program whose purpose is to take a username, look it up in Open Directory, and return a URL to that user's home directory.  If you read up on auto_master at its man page, you'll find that using an executable program for a map results in that program being called to look up a URL to mount, which is in turn mounted in-place.
The intended application appears to be that, if your Mac is connected to a directory service, going to /home/jdoe will cause the automounter to mount jdoe's home directory there.
Based on this, it seems logical to conclude that if you don't intend to connect your Mac to a directory service, you're probably okay removing the /home auto-mount as detailed in this comment.  I don't know how future OS updates will deal with this, though.

A: sudo ln -s /Users /home will work with additional configuration, but I don't think that is a good idea as you should access home via ~ in shell or $HOME. Also /home might be a Linux standard and often used in Unix but not always so better to rely on information that is guaranteed to work not something that works only most of the time if everyone has kept to a convention.
To make sudo ln -s /Users /home work, follow these steps (from the comments):
EDITOR=nano sudo -e /etc/auto_master
# add a "#" at the start of the line beginning with /home
# save changes
sudo automount -cv
sudo ln -s /Users /home

A: There's no use for /home. OS X, like various other Unix versions, has a unique location for the user. In Linux it's at /home/user, and in OS X it's at /Users. This is why it is good practice to use the shorthand "~" or the environment variable $HOME.
While you can create a symlink to the user's base/home directory /Users/[username] using the following command:
ln -s ~ /foo

It will not work to create a link named /home as there is already a(n unused) directory with that name at the root of the system.

A: I tried this before and got it working for about a week until I rebooted...
You can't just symlink /home to /Users. In fact, you can't even remove /home.
If you manage to remove /home, it will reappear after you reboot.
If you move /home to /home.old, and symlink /home, it will remove the symlink /home.
You can have this working for as long as your mac does not crash or reboot.
When you reboot, it all vanishes!
When you reboot, Mac OS X seems to think that you are creating a new user, so it will overwrite all of your user preferences in your old /Users/username directory.
Since you copied everything to /home/username, you expect to see your new home directory when doing ls /home after you reboot.
Instead, you get NOTHING!!! It is as if it never existed.
In my case, I was freaking out for about 30 minutes, then I booted into single user mode to see if something could be done. I was thinking that I might be able to grab a log file or try to start a repair utility.
In single user mode, my home directory was there. Apple intentionally hides any newly created directories under /home from the user when in multiuser mode. This is an intentionally evil design feature.
Apple is lame and discourages any and all kinds of hacking their OS. What kind of a design feature is that? Apple hides the contents of the newly created /home directory. There is absolutely no legitimate reason for Apple to auto-remove the /home directory...or any user-created directories at all!
In this case, they are mounting a directory over your /home directory...effectively hiding it.
If you are really determined to use /home instead of /Users, you might be able to get around it by writing a script to set everything up upon every boot.
Also, I should mention that you should be able to use some other directory that is not /home as a replacement for /Users because only /home is banned.
If you use bash, then you will have to set some of the environment variables... namely: CD_HOME and HOME.
I wish to add that...although you cannot unmount or force unmount /home, you can mount a disk on top of /home. All of this mounted on top of "auto_home".
I was able to mount the recovery disk on top of /home successfully...perhaps this is how it can be done.

A: I don't see any reason at all not to rename the directory /home (in case I'm wrong) and creating a symbolic link from /home to /Users (or, as in my machine, /Volumes/Users since my system disk is for system, dammit!)
I used to work as a sysadmin, in a university department with 11 flavours of unix.  We had all sorts of symlinks in the global directory tree so that the file system would do the right thing, and scripts came as close as possible to working everywhere.  You do run into a few gotchas, but if your fingers are used to typing /home/foo and a symlink postpones job retraining for your fingers, go ahead.
Similarly some linuxen will have home directories as /usr/home already.
One place I worked had home directories of /Users/{group}/{username} as a partial protection against students groveling around professors' files if the prof was careless with his permissions.  The Users directory had execute but no read bits set, and the group directories were readable only to the group members.
(All this in illustration there being many ways to deprive this particular feline of his pelt.)
One possible gotcha -- check that time machine doesn't end up making two copies of everything.  I don't know how TM treats symlinks.  If it does, then add /home to the exclude list of TM.

Here's what's trending for June 3.
Some parts of the Lehigh Valley saw rain this morning but Accu-Weather's Joe Lundberg says more is on the way. "I think mid-afternoon is when it cranks up. I think there will be a good blowup of thunderstorms and as we head into the late afternoon and evening hours we're definitely going to see a shower and a heavier thunderstorm move through," Lundberg says. He says any storm could bring damaging winds and enough rain to bring about flash flooding.
Wednesday, the Pennsylvania Department of Health added 580 new cases of coronavirus to the state's total, but for the first time since September 10th, none of those new cases came from Lehigh County. Lehigh was one of nine counties to report no new cases Wednesday. Northampton County reported eight new cases Wednesday.
New Jersey will start focusing on bringing coronavirus vaccination sites closer to home. It comes as Gov. Phil Murphy announced the state would be closing down all six of its mega vaccination sites, adding it's now time to transition away from this kind of model. The closings will be staggered with Burlington to close last on July 23rd. The goal is to now open roughly 1800 clinics across the Garden State.
The U.S. Labor Secretary is touting workforce development for the Lehigh Valley after a visit to the area Wednesday. Former Boston mayor Marty Walsh was in Allentown Wednesday explaining the details of the nearly $1.7 trillion American Jobs Plan. Part of that plan, he says, includes repairing the more than 3000 bridges across the state of Pennsylvania. Walsh says the commitment to repairing roads and bridges here is a commitment to jobs.
Last month the Lehigh Valley Zoo got two new lemurs and now Abby and Mico will be getting a new home. The zoo will be shelling out $500,000 to build a new 1600-square-foot indoor-outdoor habitat for the lemurs and the zoo's African leopard tortoises. Construction will start this summer with the hope the lemurs will be in the enclosure by fall. This is the first major project at the zoo since the giraffe exhibit in 2017.
St. Luke's University Health Network will build a new, 8,187-square-foot facility in Hanover Township, Northampton County. St. Luke's is using a $1.5 million loan through the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority to help build the new facility, which will include doctors, physical therapy, lab services, x-ray and more. The expansion will retain 12 jobs and create 55 new jobs in three years. It's expected to cost just over $3 million total.
Police are asking the public to help find a man who is being charged with attempted homicide in Monroe County. Pocono Mountain Regional Police were called to a shots-fired incident on Long Pond Road Tuesday. No one was injured in the shooting, but 23-year-old Yasim McDonald fled the scene in a black Volkswagen that was later recovered in a nearby housing development. Anyone with any information on McDonald's whereabouts should contact the Pocono Mountain Regional PD.
A man from the Poconos is behind bars after he was allegedly hallucinating on drugs and fired more than 40 gunshots inside his home on Country Place Road in Coolbaugh Township. Police say the man called 911 to report people with sniper rifles had surrounded his home before he fired more than 40 rounds from two guns through his front windows. No one was hurt, but a parked vehicle was struck by several bullets. The man now faces numerous charges.
A bill that would end some unemployment benefits in Pennsylvania is designed to get more people working.. House Bill 508 would stop the extra $300 per week from the federal government. But Democrats don't like the measure and are instead calling on a hike to the minimum wage as well as requiring sick leave and mandating advanced scheduling. "Bring the hard-working people of Pennsylvania back to work in a way that is respectful," says Democratic Sen. Art Haywood.
A bill protecting New Jersey's immigrant community is making its way through the legislature. In a Wednesday vote, the Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee decided to move forward with legislation that would prohibit public and private contractors from entering into or renewing agreements with ICE detention centers. The New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice says the move mirrors a version of the bill making its way through the Senate. The alliance says the state's partnership with ICE is "deadly."
It's on to round two of the NBA playoffs for the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers beat Washington 129-112 Wednesday night to eliminate the Wizards in five games. Sixers coach Doc Rivers says they did it with defense. "In the second half they had zero transition points. I think they had eight points in the paint. That just tells you how locked in everybody was," Rivers said. The 76ers will play Atlanta in round two of the playoffs.


HM Revenue & Customs' ("HMRC") tax take hits £575 billion fuelled by 15.5% increase in Corporate Tax receipts.
The latest statistics released by the Government show total HMRC receipts hit £575 billion for the last 12 months to June 2017, representing a 6.86% increase over the previous year. This is partly fuelled by a 15.5% surge, equivalent to £6.9 billion, in Corporate Tax receipts.
Paul Smith, partner at Blick Rothenberg, said: "Brexit seems to be working well as far as HMRC's receipts of corporation tax are concerned. In the 12 months to June receipts of corporation tax increased by 15.5% to £51.5bn.
Income tax, which is the largest contributor to the total receipts figure, was up £8 billion over the same period, representing a slightly lower increase of 4.77%. Over half of the income tax receipts increase is due to tax taken through the Self-Assessment regime, which was up by £4.4 billion in the last year, a staggering 18.05% increase.
Paul Haywood-Schiefer, assistant manager at Blick Rothenberg, commented: "The increase to £575 billion total receipts in the last 12 months represents a new landmark for the total tax receipts of the Treasury, and these continue to grow at pace. Based on this current growth the £600 billion figure should be reached around January 2018.
Elsewhere, Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) receipts are up £1.1 billion on the previous 12 months, a flat figure of 10% growth.

Toyota classic rally team Midgley Motorsport is celebrating a remarkable debut class victory on the Roger Albert Clark Rally, the UK's toughest historic motorsport event. The team's 25-year-old Corolla AE86, crewed by Will Midgley and Jonathan Driver, beat its closest rival to the Kielder Forest finish line by 14 minutes.
Midgley and Driver battled throughout the three-day event against another Corolla, crewed by Andy Madge and Pat Cooper. The duel for class honours came down to the final sting-in-the-tail stage in the 160-mile rally, the 17-mile Kershope test.
The Midgley Corolla, which is liveried identically to those which Will's father, John Midgley, and Per Eklund drove to a string of UK rallying successes for Team Toyota GB in the mid-'80s, was one of four finishers in its class.
On Saturday, at the Croft circuit spectator stage, the Midgley Toyota lapsed on to three cylinders and that cost the crew a couple of minutes on their second run around the track. "After that, everything was fairly trouble-free; we kept it on the road and the Toyota ran really well. Jonathan and I learned a lot: it was the first time for both of us navigating with maps, our first time rallying in the dark, and the first time in fog. That was a lot of firsts for one event. The team worked really hard to keep us going, especially on the Friday night, and we thoroughly enjoyed the event.
