Kiki Dee – "I've Got the Music in Me"
Introduction to Kiki Dee
Kiki Dee (born Pauline Matthews in 1947) is a British singer. In the US, Dee became the first Caucasian singer to be signed to Motown, and released her debut single there. However, it was after she signed up with Elton John's Rocket label that Dee became a pop star. She achieved her biggest American hit with "I've Got The Music" in 1974, with the Kiki Dee Band. Dee continued to score a string of hits in the UK, such as "How Glad I Am," "Loving and Free/Amoureuse," "First Thing In The Morning," and "Chicago." Her stardom proved to be relatively short-lived, however, and Dee went on a hiatus in much of the late 1970s, returning in the in early 1980s with another hit, "Star" and starred in the West End musical Blood Brothers. In 2008 Dee released her first DVD Under The Night Sky, as well as a compilation release that contained her Rocket catalog.
Kiki Dee's early days in show business
British singer Kiki Dee was born Pauline Matthews in Little Horton, Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, England on March 6, 1947.
Her professional singing career began when she took a job as a session singer. She was a blue-eyed soul singer in the late 1960s, first backing up for star Dusty Springfield, among others. Her early catalog includes her first single "Early Night," released in 1963, and her eponymous debut album that was released in 1968. "Early Night" was written by songwriter Mitch Murray, who also gave Matthews her stage name Kiki Dee.
She achieved some measure of success when her song "Why Don't I Run Away From You" (released in 1965) became a smash on Radio London and Radio Caroline. Other than that, Kiki Dee had yet to have a taste of a real major success despite her many years in show business.
Stints at Motown and Elton John's Rocket label
It took her long before her solo success would arrive in the next decade. She became the first Caucasian (or more specifically, British white artist) to sign with Motown Records. Her single on Motown, "The Day Will Come Between Sunday and Monday" was released in 1970.
Kiki Dee then jumped to Elton John's label Rocket. And it was there where Kiki Dee was slowly building up her name as an artist. Her first big hit came with "Amoureuse," her lyrical cover of a French composition written by Veronique Sanson. It was a major hit in the UK, peaking at #13 in 1973.
Kiki Dee's only major hit with "I've Got the Music in Me"
Further hits came for Kiki Dee, but her biggest American success came in 1974 when she released a rock single called "I've Got the Music in Me." The single, distributed by MCA in the US and was credited to the Kiki Dee Band, provided Dee with her one and only US hit. It peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #19 on the UK singles chart. "I've Got the Music in Me" was written by Kiki Dee Band's keyboardist Tobias "Bias" Boshell.
Later career and other projects
Following her only major US hit, things became relatively quite for Kiki Dee in the late 1970s. Her last charting singles on the Hot 100 were "(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am" and "Once a Fool" in 1975.
In 1981 Dee mounted a comeback with one of her biggest UK hits "Star," where it was later used as a theme music to the ITV talent show Opportunity Knocks for a number of years.
She also reunited with Elton John on a few occasions, including in 1981 where they recorded a cover of the Stevie Wonder-penned song "Loving You Is Sweeter," and in 1990s where she contributed vocals on two of John's albums, The One and Duets.
Aside from recording, Kiki Dee also invaded the stage. She garnered recognition by playing the lead role in the musical Blood Brothers in London's West End. She also starred in another West End production Pump Boys and Dinettes in the early to mid 1980s.
Dee has continued recording and performing. In 2008 Dee released her first DVDUnder The Night Sky, as well as a compilation release that contained her Rocket catalog. In the summer of 2013 released her last studio album A Place Where I Can Go, a product of her collaboration with colleague Carmelo Luggeri.

Thunder vs. Pelicans: Start time, TV schedule, and game preview

Share All sharing options for: Thunder vs. Pelicans: Start time, TV schedule, and game preview

The Oklahoma City Thunder (2-4) travel to New Orleans to play the Pelicans (4-3) Wednesday night at 7 p.m. CT on Fox Sports Oklahoma.
Here are four notes ahead of the New Year's Eve rematch:
What did OKC learn from their last matchup?
These two teams previously played last Thursday, where the Pelicans comfortably won the contest 113-80. Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault will get a chance to adjust his game plan from the previous game.
Like many other games, the Pelicans were explosive in the paint, scoring 54 points against OKC. I expect similar results this time around if Daigneault continues to play a traditional defense.
The Thunder have the worst interior defense in the league, it is hard to just ignore that weakness. If this continues to be an issue, I would like to see Daigneault throw in some exotic looks on defense, such as trying a 2-3 zone.
The Heat are notorious for using this scheme to clog driving lanes and the paint; OKC should try this scheme if the interior defense continues to be nonexistent in traditional defensive sets.
SGA going up against the Pelicans' backcourt
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's worst game this season came against the Pelicans, where he only dropped eight points on 3-of-10 shooting.
This was a concern of mine heading into that game and will be a concern heading into their second game against New Orleans this season as they own arguably the best defensive backcourt in the league in Lonzo Ball and Eric Bledsoe.
If SGA is to develop into an All-Star type of player, he will need to adjust to tough defensive assignments and still find ways to impact the game. Ball and Bledsoe are elite perimeter defenders who will make life hell for the opposing star guards, but the best of them still find ways to contribute to the game. Wednesday will provide a good test for Shai.
Can the Thunder hit their 3s?
This one might be simple, but really makes a huge impact on the outcome of games. The Thunder have been struggling from outside in their last three games, shooting a combined 41-of-137.
The three-ball is the ultimate equalizer and if the Thunder hit at a decent clip against the Pelicans, who concede the three-ball in their defensive philosophy, then this game should be much more competitive than the first one.
This will be the Thunder's third road game in four nights. Even with this roster being relatively young, I can see players getting tired late in this game. Especially for the starters, who all average over 24 minutes a game.
Young guys like Shai, Darius Bazley, and Lu Dort might be able to delay the exhaustion, but eventually, it will set in. Shai played the eighth-most minutes last year at 2,428 and is averaging 32.5 MPG this year.
The fact that all three games have been on the road will also make it worse for the team.
It is one thing to play three games in four nights at your home arena, where you can just go home and sleep in your own bed; but it's another thing when it is on the road with all the constant travel involved, especially now with COVID-19 protocols in place.

Q: Python attribute with simultaneous __get__ and __getitem__ behavior EDIT:
I updated the original title Python descriptor behavior with _getitem_ method because, as pointed out in the comments, what I am after seems not to be possible using descriptors. But maybe there are other ways to achieve this?

I have an object that employs lazy loading of a very large numpy array. It is implemented in such a way that calling object[idx] only loads the value corresponding to the index, while object[:] produces the full array.
What I would like to do is to use this object as a property-like attribute in another class that omits the need of [:] when calling the full array while still maintaining the lazy loading aspect if an index or slice is provided. I can achieve the first when defining a descriptor with an appropriate __get__ method:
class MyDescriptor:

    def __get__(self, instance, owner=None):
        return instance._lazy_array[:]

class Foo:

    lazy_array = MyDescriptor()

    def __init__(self, lazy_array_obj):
        self._lazy_array = lazy_array_obj

foo = Foo(lazy_array_obj)

Calling foo.lazy_array now produces the full array. However, calling foo.lazy_array[0] loads the full array and only indexes it afterwards, losing the performance gain from loading only a part of the data.
In theory, what I would need is a __getitem__ method that supports the descriptor protocol, but that does not seem to exist. Is there any other solution that I am missing here?
Additional detail: The lazy array object is a tdms channel produced by the lazy loading of a tdms file using nptdms

Study provides a unified description of non-radiative voltage losses in organic solar cells
by Ingrid Fadelli , Tech Xplore
a) Illustration of recombination of electron and hole within the active layer of an organic solar cell, which can lead to radiative decay and photon emission. b) Relevant electronic states at donor/acceptor interfaces: Potential energy curves for the ground (G) state, charge-transfer (CT) state, and strongly absorbing/emitting local-exciton (LE) state. c) Distributions of non-radiative voltage losses as a function of the CT-state energy in conventional fullerene-based organic solar cells (purple dots) and state-of-the-art non-fullerene organic solar cells (orange dots). Credit: Chen et al.
In recent years, researchers have been trying to develop increasingly efficient and advanced solar technologies. One way of increasing the efficiency of solar cells is to reduce energy losses (i.e., voltage losses) caused by non-radiative recombination processes.
Researchers at the University of Arizona and Linköping University in Sweden have recently carried out a study aimed at better understanding non-radiative voltage losses in organic solar cells. Their paper, published in Nature Energy, describes the way in which energy losses occur both in fullerene-based and nonfullerene-based solar cells.
"Note that photon absorption leads to the formation of an excited electronic state in the electron-acceptor and/or electron-donor component of the active layer," Jean-Luc Bredas, one of the researchers who carried out the study, told TechXplore. "This excited state evolves into a so-called charge-transfer (CT) electronic state at the interface between the acceptor and donor components. This CT state can then dissociate into free charge carriers or decay to the ground state."
After CT states dissociate into free charge carriers, these carriers should ideally move to electrodes, where they are ultimately extracted. Along the way, however, some of these charge carriers can also recombine, through a process known as bimolecular recombination.
Bimolecular recombination processes also occur via CT states. Therefore, to optimize the efficiency of organic solar cells, one should minimize the non-radiative decay of the CT states. In their paper, the Arizona and Linköping teams and their colleagues provide a unified description of non-radiative voltage losses in organic solar cells.
"We were able to describe equally well the situation in both fullerene-based and nonfullerene-based solar cells," Bredas explained. "This unified description was reached by combining theoretical efforts at Arizona and experimental efforts, mainly carried out at Linköping. On the theoretical side, we were able to consider all the relevant electronic states, that is: the ground state, the CT state, and the strongly absorbing state within the acceptor and/or donor."
Previously proposed models of non-radiative decay do not consider the strongly absorbing state within acceptors and/or donors. Therefore, they failed to provide a complete picture of non-radiative voltage losses, which would be required to fully understand its impact, particularly on highly efficient nonfullerene-based solar cells. In contrast, the theoretical model by Bredas and his colleagues describes non-radiative energy losses both in fullerene-based and nonfullerene-based solar cells.
From an experimental standpoint, the team at Linköping University was able to characterize the CT states and solar-cell parameters for over 30 systems. These systems include both fullerene-based and nonfullerene-based active layers.
"The combination of these efforts offers an unprecedented, in-depth understanding of the reasons why highly efficient nonfullerene-based organic solar cells have small energy/voltage losses," Bredas said.
In the course of their investigations, Bredas and his colleagues made several interesting observations. First, they found that the luminescence of pristine acceptor and donor components define the extent of voltage losses. Second, their experiments showed that voltage losses can be reduced without sacrificing or impacting charge generation efficiencies.
"The power the solar cell can generate is current times voltage," Bredas said. "Reducing the voltage loss obviously increases the maximum voltage that can be generated. There were concerns in the community that the way the voltage loss can be reduced would also reduce charge generation and therefore the maximum current that can be generated. We show this is in fact not at all necessarily the case."
In the future, this paper could inform the development of more efficient solar cells and solar technologies. More specifically, the study highlights the benefits of using donor and acceptor materials with a high luminescence efficiency, as well as complementary optical absorption bands that extend into the near-infrared region. These materials, in fact, could help to maximize the collection of photons when the solar cells are exposed to sunlight.
"In our next studies, we plan to explore the implications of our findings further," Bredas said. "More specifically, we would like to obtain a better understanding of how the experimental processing of the active layer impacts the morphology of the layer, its electronic properties, and ultimately the overall device performance and stability. The Linköping and Arizona groups are also very keen to keep their collaboration going, as this is a perfect example of how what we are doing together can be much more than the mere sum of the parts."

Pamela Meyer–Arndt is a freelance writer and director.
Her documentaries are shown on television, in cinemas, in museums and in cultural institutions both domestically and around the world.
The documentary VILLAGE LOVE portrays everyday existence in the small Thuringia village of Berka over the last 60 years. The local miller's son, Ludwig Schirmer, photographed his village's daily life before moving on to become an advertising executive. His photos of Berka possess an aura of stunning authenticity. His daughter Ute Mahler and her husband Werner Mahler, both previously known for photography prior to the fall of the Iron Curtain, continued this photographic documentation. The result is a visual time capsule of a community over the course of decades. Where once there was small town community, today there is merely isolation.
JUST AN ORDINARY LIFE relates the life and work of Helga Paris, Sibylle Bergemann and Gundula Schulze-Eldowy, three photographers living in East Berlin during the GDR era. All three worked freelance in their own unique way, sometimes on the very edge of illegality. Censored and forbidden to work, they created a critical and sensitive portrait of the GDR. The photographers remember the genesis of their photographic series, their exciting lives, their roles as women and their experiences with censorship and the Stasi.
Can music be an adventure? If you were a GDR musician and the Wall suddenly fell, then yes! From one day to the next, a whole new world opened up. WENDZEITEN looks at the careers of composers and musicians in East and West Germany. Among the interviewed are the composers Helmut Lachenmann, Helmut Oehring and Georg Katzer and the musicians Georg Kallweit and Stephan Mai.
In DIE MÄRCHENHAFTE, photographer Sibylle Bergemann takes a look back. As a GDR photographer, she worked for the legendary magazine "Sibylle" and as a freelancer. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, she took photos for many reputable West German magazines such as Geo and Stern and saw the world – Yemen, for example. There she created dreamlike images of women in haute Couture.


Thanks! I'll add some stress tests to the test suite like in your test script (but use the existing tests/hello_color.py for simplicity). With something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/6708207/ I reliably get a crash at the 57th iteration, even with a "sleep(0.3)".
No problem :-) Yes I should have switched it to use the existing tests as it turned out quite simple.
I can't actually get this to crash. What I see is that the test application greys out (i. e. no UI response), and the test aborts with a DBus.NoReply error; but I don't see a SIGSEGV anywhere in dmesg, apport, or an attached gdb. Does that match what you see?
Curiously enough, it seems that the g_warning → g_debug change from bug 1250452 fixes this. It seems all this WARNING spewage might take too much time to get fed into autopilot's stdout/stderr capturing buffers, so the GetState query times out at some point? This also explains why it works better with a "sleep", which gives the out/err capturing some breathing room.
I can confirm it all seems to be working now with the changes in the linked branch, I no longer get the greyed out hanging windows and all seems to be fine in the ubiquity runner after 2 runs on Ubuntu and 1 on Edubuntu.

so I didn't know about it. This is what I found out so far.
This is one frame of an ARRI Alexa ARRIRAW shot (L001C030_140110_R6MS.0023396.ari that can be found here.), that was recorded in 2880×1620 pixels and scaled down to HD 1920×1080. The left side is LogC, encoded by the Nuke reader, the right side is REC.709 as seen on set, in this case converted by a official ARRI 3D-LUT to convert LogC to REC.709.
This is a graded version of the frame. This "warm" grading was done in Affinity Photo (or use Photoshop) with adjustment layers, exported as a 3D-LUT file and applied in Nuke to the ungraded frame. The same grading can be applied in flame, resolve and Final Cut Pro X. Although it might not be 100% accurate, visually its the same result as a baked look.
In Resolve load the 3D-LUT from Affinity Photo and apply it to the ungraded footage. Done.
Now I created in Resolve a "cool" look from scratch on the ungraded material.
The "cool" look with only primary color corrections applied get exported as a 3D-LUT to use it in other programs. The .cube format available in Resolve and SpeedGrade are not compatible according to the Resolve manual.
Sadly at the moment Affinity Photo can't read the .cube 3D-LUT from Resolve 12 (Beta 3).
But "LUT Translator" from the AppStore is a good tool for translating (and check) LUTs in different formats.
Thanks to Florian Usti to help me out with a demo version to write this pages.
I didn't test yet how a roundtrip works between Photoshop and Resolve. Maybe there you don't need a LUT conversion tool. Having now a possible roundtrip workflow back to Affinity Photo can be very helpful to "see" a grading in the paint program but actually work on the flat ungraded image.
A quick and dirty cloned third fish in Photo.
Just change the layer order to reveal that the cloned fish is not color graded with a baked LUT. Any retouch work is independent from the grading. But this also means that any other element that you want to paint into the frame has to be the same flat as the original frame.
Until now I used Nuke, Affinity Photo and Resolve. Now its time for FCPX with mLut and ColorFinale.
On the primary storyline are each 50 frames ProRes 444 files ungraded. Only (4) and (7) are renders from Resolve. The shorter connected clips on (2), (3), (5) and (6) are rendered clips from Nuke with the grading applied via a Vectorfield node.
(1) ARRIRAW to LogC from Nuke. No LUT applied. A ProRes444 from Nuke is missing a "LogC" flag that files directly from the Alexa camera have. If this is absent FCPX is not offering to apply a REC.709 conversion in the clip properties.
(2) warm look from Affinity with mLut has a slight color difference compared to the baked LUT from Nuke.
(3) warm look from Affinity with Color Finale. It doesn't work right away. "LUT Translator" was used to get a readable LUT. In comparison to the Nuke result is there a gamma shift? Especially the shadows are darker.
(4) Resolve render of the Affinity LUT – same result as mLut!
(5) created cool look from Resolve with mLut compared to the baked LUT from Nuke with identical results.
(6) created cool look from Resolve with Color Finale compared to the baked LUT from Nuke with darker result. The shadows are again darker.
(7) Resolve render of the cool look – same result as mLut!
So much for now. Next is coming more test with Flame.

John M. Massameno, Asst. State's Atty. Div. of Criminal Justice, Wallingford, Conn., for defendant-appellant.
John R. Williams, Williams & Wise, New Haven, Conn., for plaintiff-appellee.
Before WINTER and PRATT, Circuit Judges, and METZNER, District Judge.*
METZNER, District Judge:
Plaintiff, Mary E. Betts, instituted a civil rights action seeking money damages from law enforcement officers in connection with a forced appearance as a witness in a criminal prosecution. 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983. The original defendants were a police officer, a corrections officer, the Superintendent of the Connecticut Correctional Institution at Niantic, the Commissioner of Correction in Connecticut, and the appellant, Richard Morelli, a Deputy Assistant State's Attorney for Connecticut. The litigation as to all defendants, except for Morelli, has been settled.
Morelli contends that as a state prosecutor he has absolute immunity from liability for damages allegedly suffered by plaintiff in this case. Plaintiff was arrested pursuant to a capias obtained by Morelli from a trial judge in the Superior Court of Connecticut, to secure the presence of the plaintiff as the state's principal witness in a criminal trial. The following appears to be the chronology of events leading up to the institution of this action.
On June 7, 1981, plaintiff made complaint to the Stonington Police Department that she had been beaten up that day by her boy friend, Hugh Christie. She gave the police a signed written statement of the episode. Christie, with whom she had been living, was a police officer in the Town of Groton. He was arrested on the basis of the complaint and charged with assault in the third degree. A subpoena was issued for the plaintiff to appear at Christie's trial on September 8, 1981. Plaintiff then informed Morelli that she did not wish to testify against her boy friend. After being told that she would have to testify, the plaintiff stated that her written statement did not recite exactly what had happened, and that she and her boy friend were back together again and she wanted to drop the charges. Plaintiff at this point claims that she said she would testify, but not in accordance with the written statement. Defendant, upon the direction of his superior, refused to drop the charges.
It appears that the criminal trial was adjourned to Friday, September 18, 1981. On the previous day, the defendant tried to contact the plaintiff to confirm the date. He left a message at her place of employment for her to call him. Plaintiff admits receiving the message, but made no effort to return the call. Morelli also contacted plaintiff's attorney on that Thursday and informed him that the trial would start the next day, but the attorney said that he was going to a seminar and would not appear the next day with his client.
The plaintiff failed to appear in court on Friday and a capias was issued for her arrest. After a short discussion regarding some discovery problems, the court proceeded to take the defendant's plea of not guilty to a substitute information. Previously, defendant had pled not guilty to the original information. This took a few moments. The court then proceeded to select a jury. About 4 P.M. the case was adjourned to the following Monday morning.
In the meantime, the capias was executed with plaintiff's arrest at her home at 3:22 P.M. that Friday. Instead of being brought to court, she was taken to the Niantic Correctional Institution where she was incarcerated overnight. She was released on bond on Saturday, and on the following Monday appeared with her attorney in court.
On Monday morning the trial proceeded and the prosecutor called plaintiff as his first witness. She promptly asserted her privilege against self-incrimination. The court sustained the claim of privilege and the prosecutor was forced to dismiss the charges against Christie.
Plaintiff then instituted this Section 1983 action and the defendant sought summary judgment on the ground that he had absolute immunity. The court below denied the motion, 566 F.Supp. 125, holding that there was an issue as to whether the purpose for seeking the capias was to obtain perjured testimony, in which case absolute immunity did not exist. In addition, the district court was of the opinion that the request for the capias occurred before the commencement of trial which marks the shift of the prosecutor's function from investigative to "quasi-judicial."
This is the first case in this circuit raising the question as to whether a witness in a criminal prosecution has a viable 1983 claim against the prosecutor for violation of the constitutional rights of the witness.
The seminal case in this area of prosecutorial immunity is Imbler v. Pachtman, 424 U.S. 409, 96 S.Ct. 984, 47 L.Ed.2d 128 (1976). In Imbler the prosecutor was charged with having knowingly used false testimony in the criminal trial in which the plaintiff was the defendant. The Court held that the prosecutor was clothed with absolute immunity under Section 1983. The Court said:
"To be sure, this immunity does leave the genuinely wronged defendant without civil redress against the prosecutor whose malicious or dishonest action deprives him of liberty. But the alternative of qualifying a prosecutor's immunity would disserve the broader public interest. It would prevent the vigorous and fearless performance of the prosecutor's duty that is essential to the proper functioning of the criminal justice system."
424 U.S. at 427-28, 96 S.Ct. at 993-94.
The Court indicated that the functional nature of the activities would determine the extent of the immunity, and said, "We hold only that in initiating a prosecution and in presenting the State's case, the prosecutor is immune from a civil suit for damages under Sec. 1983." 424 U.S. at 431, 96 S.Ct. at 995.
We have found three cases dealing with the issue before this court: Daniels v. Kieser, 586 F.2d 64 (7th Cir.1978); DeBoer v. Martin, 537 F.Supp. 1159 (N.D.Ill., E.D.1982); Beaver v. Carey, 426 F.Supp. 301 (N.D.Ill., E.D.1977). All support the finding of absolute immunity in a 1983 action.
In Daniels the court held that the issuance of a material witness warrant was an act intimately associated with the criminal process, and that an exception should not be made "where the civil plaintiff is a witness rather than the accused, for Imbler and Butz [v. Economou, 438 U.S. 478, 98 S.Ct. 2894, 57 L.Ed.2d 895 (1978) ] have at least implied that prosecutorial immunity also applies to suits by witnesses as well as by accused...." 586 F.2d at 69. One of the charges in Daniels was that the prosecutor misrepresented the facts when, in requesting the warrant, he stated that the plaintiff was attempting to evade service of process.
We see no ground for a distinction which would protect a prosecutor from liability for damages where he has obtained a conviction through subornation of perjury, but would strip him of the immunity where the person who is the object of attempted subornation seeks damages flowing from such action. The fundamental question remains the same. Did the activity occur while "acting as an advocate in a judicial proceeding ..."? Taylor v. Kavanagh, 640 F.2d 450, 452 (2d Cir.1981).
We are concerned here with the person directly responsible for the initiation of the criminal proceedings. On the trial she would have been the only witness for the prosecution as to what had actually transpired. All other testimony would be merely secondary confirmation of her testimony.
It is admitted that the plaintiff was advised on Thursday that the prosecutor had attempted to reach her at her place of employment, and that she had failed to return that call. It is not denied that the plaintiff's attorney was advised on the same day that the trial was going forward on Friday and that the attorney and his client should be in court at that time. On Friday morning at 10 A.M. the plaintiff did not appear in court. The case was called for trial and the prosecutor did not have his main witness.
The trial judge has testified that it was his intention to start hearing testimony sometime in the afternoon, assuming witnesses were available. If he had known that the State's witness was not going to be available Friday morning, he would "have had a follow-up case here if I thought there was going to be a problem with this case."
It is clear that the issuance of the capias was intimately associated with procuring the attendance of a witness for imminent trial. Absolute immunity attaches to this act, and any claimed improper motivation is irrelevant. See Green v. Maraio, 722 F.2d 1013, at 1018 (2d Cir.1983). As this court has said:
"The efficient, and just, performance of the prosecutorial function would be chilled if Government attorneys were forced to worry that their choice of trial strategy and tactics could subject them to monetary liability, or at best, the inconvenience of proving a 'good faith' defense to a Sec. 1983 action."
Taylor, 640 F.2d at 452. Trial tactics include subornation of perjury, withholding of evidence, and introduction of illegally seized evidence. Id.
The court below attempted to distinguish Daniels on the ground that in that case the warrant was issued after the commencement of the trial. However, the court did not hold this fact to be dispositive. Daniels, supra at 67 n. 5. We find it to be irrelevant in this case because of the short time frame involved. At best, only a few minutes passed between the order directing the issuance of the capias and the jury selection process. It was clearly the exigencies of the situation which called for the issuance of the capias to assure the presence of the main witness in the event the testimony was to start that day.
Order reversed and summary judgment granted to the defendant.
The Honorable Charles M. Metzner of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, sitting by designation

Freddy and Food
In regard to food, my father baked his own bread, roasted his own hot, red pepper flakes that he kept in his pocket, made his own sausages(in his pajamas) and hot giardiniera. I was extremely fond of a slice of his hot Italian bread with homemade giardiniera and a slice of sharp Provolone on top. He grew up poor and did not eat a lot of meat growing up other than neck bones or occasionally meatballs with cheap chuck meat which mixed with cheese were fatty and delicious. His favorite meal his father made him was Fried Spaghetti and Oil on the stove top accompanied by a cold, cheap beer; and, of course, Pasta Faggioli which is as comforting as comfort food can get. Large portions of meat are just not a normal part of the Italian diet and my father always reminded me of what a luxury it was to have it on your table. My father said his Uncle was worshipped as the richest guy in the neighborhood growing up because he drove a garbage truck, if that helps put things into perspective, of how poor they were. My father used to put one-eighth of a donut in his freezer, if that goes to show you how he would never, ever waste food. If he didn't freeze it, he brought it to the pool room in doggie bags for everyone who worked there, and for even the guys he would play pool against for money. At his funeral, "Lotto" from the pool room, a recipient of many Freddy meals, played "God Bless America" on his harmonica in his honor. If you were in the hospital or at home recovering, he brought you a plate. It was his way. The hardest part of my father passing away is that I no longer have someone to give me "plates" of homemade food every week on the way to the racetrack or pool room. I'd give anything to have someone cook for me! Especially my father's meat sauce (secret is frying the fennel in the oil before adding the tomatoes.) The sauce was just as original and unique as he was.
For Christmas Eve's "Feast of the Seven Fishes" dinner, everyone invited was compelled to commit minor crimes in his honor to procure the (expensive) food for the meal. Shellfish for forty people can add up! He would go to the Italian wholesaler for the imported cheese to get out of paying sales tax and meet a guy who barely spoke English in an alley in Chinatown beside the river who put a giant box of frozen shrimp in the trunk of his Cadillac for a small wad of cash. In a similar vein, he bought fake teeth on the black market and convinced Doctors to forgo their fees.
He judged a restaurant(George or Tom – old school Bebop jazz terms used to signify terrific or terrible – they even have accompanying hand signs used by pool hustlers to tip off a safe or unsafe situation or person) by how fresh the bread was in the bread basket. He returned the bread to the server if it was stale and demanded, "Now give me the fresh bread." He had a large barrel chest and deep voice and could scare straight anyone into finding fresh bread in the kitchen. He could also identify which bakery the bread came from in Chicago. His favorite was D'Amato's on Grand Ave which also makes exceptional Sicilian pizza.
He also had "tip offs" to tell whether or not a joint was any good based on his fifty years traveling the road hustling pool. He said any title with the name "Momma's" or "Mother" or "Family" was a "stiff" 90% of the time(except of course Mother's in New Orleans.) If he saw more than one ethnic group represented on a menu, he walked (fried rice and pizza, no!) He could tell if it was a "Greek joint" by the menus – if it had a Greek salad or egg lemon soup, he knew it was Greek. He reveled in being a restaurant detective. Some people sniff out rats, he sniffed out Greeks. There was a pizza place with a Greek name on Sixth Street in Philly we couldn't go into, for instance. Any visual Acropolis on a sign or in the window or blue and white color decor (from the flag) and we had to turn around and eat somewhere else.
He had a small war going on with The Greeks and declared that they ruined the restaurant industry by making everything mediocre. If it was a Greek restaurant selling Greek food, it was fine – delicious even - he loved Greek food – especially grilled baby lamb chops and Taramosalata. He said at non-Greek primary food restaurants – like coffeeshops or faux Jewish delis -the French fries were frozen, they served soup out of a can for days on end and watered down the wine. He would often drive around to the old meatpacking area (West Loop) and show me the best purveyors and could name the frozen or processed food brands. He had an article about the artificial "Flavor" factory in New Jersey magnetized to his refrigerator for twenty years. He demanded fresh and the best in everything. If his dinner salad had a refrigerated tomato in it, or if the basted egg he ordered did not have a runny yolk for dipping toast, rest assured, he was going to send it back.
At coffee and bread he boasted that the Greeks were at the top of their game – you always got your coffee hot and refilled generously. He judged every other restaurant on how fast they filled your coffee. Nobody beats the Greeks, he said. His biggest "beef" with Greeks was that the Greek waiters in Chicago's Greektown had their own underground casinos(dice and cards) that he deeply desired to get an invitation to but they were Greek only. He loved to eat at The Greek Islands restaurant because the owner – Michaelangelo- was Sicilian. The Beard also insisted he have a Greek waiter because he thought they were the best and could make all of your food requests come true- they were "five star" he said, and he would still take a chance and beg to get an invite to gamble with them.
Here's the funny thing. After a lifetime of disparaging the Greeks, my Dad found out, that his maternal great- grandmother was Greek and that he was one-eighth Greek! He was ecstatic! He told all of his friends that he was Greek and all of a sudden a whole new world opened up to him. It was like finding out you're part Jewish and all of a sudden you get to have Christmas AND the High Holidays off from work! Anyway, my father's friends who were Greek took him into their world immediately and the perks were free food at all of their restaurants, where they, according to my Dad, "laid it on thick." This was the best part of my Dad – he had fun just being alive and discovering new things!
He hosted lunch every day at his house for friends and visitors from all over the world. If you were his houseguest, you were treated with home-cooked, Italian meals.
I'm sure I'm not alone in missing those delicious meals made with love. Especially the homemade giardiniera!

Picornaviruses are found in a variety of bird species. Some cause significant diseases, including enteritis and malabsorption syndrome. Diarrhea, stunted growth, and increased mortality in young chicks are the main signs. Diagnosis is based on histopathology and, in some cases, viral culture. No treatments or vaccines are available.
Members of the Picornaviridae family are very small, nonenveloped RNA viruses that replicate in cytoplasm of infected cells. Picornavirus infections in birds are known to cause, or be associated with, a range of diseases, including avian encephalomyelitis in chickens, hepatitis in ducks and turkeys, malabsorption in chickens and turkeys, proventriculitis in chickens, and keratin disorder in chickadees. In this topic, only enterovirus-like viruses (ELVs) associated with enteritis and malabsorption syndrome are discussed.
Epidemiology of Picornavirus Infections in Poultry
ELVs have been found in a range of bird species, including commercial poultry and wild birds from several countries around the globe. ELVs have been linked with enteritis and stunting syndrome, but a number of reports have also found them in clinically healthy birds. Therefore, the pathogenicity of EVLs requires further investigations. Pathogenesis of ELVs is believed to be due to their predilection for propagation in epithelial lining and resultant destruction, leading to malabsorption and enteritis. As a reflection of their replication in the intestinal mucosa, ELVs are predominantly transmitted by the fecal-oral route, although vertical transmission is also suspected.
Clinical Findings and Lesions of Picornavirus Infections in Poultry
Clinical signs of an enterovirus-like virus are frequently reported in the first few weeks of life and include diarrhea, stunted growth, and mortality. Affected birds may also show depression and a pasted vent.
Gross lesions include intestinal dilation, attenuation of the intestinal wall, and presence of foamy intestinal/cecal contents. Microscopic lesions include shortening of the villi, elongation of crypts, hyperplasia of enterocytes, and varying degrees of inflammatory cell infiltration into the lamina propria of the intestinal tract.
Diagnosis of Picornavirus Infections in Poultry
Diagnosis is based on viral culture and histopathology by electron microscopy
Enterovirus-like viruses often poorly grow in cell culture and often need inoculation into neonatal birds or embryonated eggs from the same bird species for propagation. Other challenges associated with isolation and propagation of ELV include outgrowth of other intestinal viruses, especially reoviruses. Intestinal contents or feces can be used for sampling.
Transmissible electron microscopy of the affected tissues, intestinal contents, fecal materials, or propagated viruses in the laboratory can be used for diagnosis. Care should be taken for interpretation of results, because birds/eggs used for propagation (such as SPF birds) may already be infected with ELV.
Further characterization of the viruses require specific reagents (such as antisera) for known viruses with similar morphology, but these reagents are not readily available in conventional diagnostic laboratories. With availability of advanced molecular techniques such as next generation sequencing and metagenomics, characterization of ELVs may become feasible as a routine practice in the future.
Serologic assays have been described for the detection of antibodies to some ELVs, but these assays are not routinely used because the true pathogenicity and distribution of ELVs in commercial poultry have not been fully investigated as yet.
Prevention and Treatment of Picornavirus Infections in Poultry
There is no treatment for ELVs, although supportive therapy (fluids and micronutrients) can decrease weight loss associated with infection. Currently, there is no commercial vaccine available for ELVs.
Enterovirus-like viruses belong to the Picornaviridae family and are linked to enteric diseases in both commercial poultry and wild birds.
The role of ELV as the sole cause of enteric diseases in birds is currently unconfirmed.

Antibiotics are known to influence the growth of bacteria in the human body. But new research led by a team at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Germany suggests that more than 200 non-antibiotic medicines with human-cell targets, from anti-inflammatory drugs to antipsychotic compounds, can also trigger changes. The findings were published yesterday (March 19) in Nature.
To explore the microbiome's response to non-antibiotic drugs, the researchers individually tested nearly 1,200 medications—835 of which have human-cell targets—on 38 species of gut bacteria in vitro. The team found that around a quarter of medications with human targets, and 27 percent of the drugs over all, at least partially inhibited growth in one or more of the bacteria species.

Qavah's veins were difficult to find today. Her hemoglobin count was so low that her veins were flat. She looked so small and frail on the hospital gurney. After three unsuccessful tries to place the IV line I picked my tearful girl up in my arms and the nurse tried a fourth time. Qavah's head was buried in my shirt while she cried, "Mama no..." I stood there with tears running down my face begging, "God please...." My heart's desire is for a miracle for Qavah. I'm not ashamed to beg for a remission. The fourth try worked, and after a full bag of red cells, we are home, and Qavah is busy playing again as though it was a just a minor interruption to have to go to the hospital today. Maybe the miracle is that Qavah finds comfort in my arms, that she is willing to submit to her medical care, or that she still loves to smile and laugh, but I'm believing God for so much more.
I read some things about faith this evening and found these words of encouragement. Jesus said that if we have faith, even if it's of the tiniest size, we can command the mountains to move, and they will obey us. Therefore, it is clear that faith is not really a matter of its size or quantity. Instead, it is the size of the One in Whom we put our faith that makes all the difference.

Brigham and Women's CFO Daniel Morash weighs in on finance trends, best practices for CFOs
Hayley DeSilva - Friday, October 7th, 2022
With 2022 coming to a close, CFOs are looking ahead to 2023 and prospective challenges. Daniel Morash, senior vice president of finance and CFO for Boston-based Brigham and Women's Hospital, has advice for how best to navigate these challenges.
Prior to Brigham and Women's Hospital, Mr. Morash also served as senior vice president and CFO for the Mass General Physicians Organization.
Here, Mr. Morash answers Becker's questions on advice for fellow CFOs and what lies ahead.
Question: Many CFOs and financial experts are expecting a recession. How can hospital CFOs best navigate this?
Daniel Morash: It isn't easy to plan for a recession, particularly because it can have both negative (payer mix, patient volume) and positive impacts (decrease in labor and supply inflation) on our financial performance. The best advice I would give is that hospitals need to consider recession scenarios when making long-term commitments on wage increases, capital expenditures and planning for capacity for patient access. Most of our focus needs to be on the acute challenges we are facing. Still, it's important to be careful not to overreact or overcommit financially when a recession could change a number of trends we're seeing now.
Q: With ongoing, rising operating and supply chain costs, what would you recommend to hospitals?
DM: Ongoing, rising operating and supply chain costs are forcing us to react to a changing market quickly and prioritize more aggressively. Particularly with wage inflation, our operational teams are under a lot of strain to continue to serve our patients and provide the best care possible while seeing labor shortages in many critical areas. The best recommendation I can make is to ensure clinical operations and finance are working very closely together. Within the finance function, we are clearly articulating the tradeoffs that need to be made when considering what areas to address.
Q: As healthcare wraps up its last quarter of the year and prepares for 2023, what do you anticipate? What advice do you have?
DM: Next year is going to be challenging, but we are starting to see some positive trends in Q4 and have well-developed plans for overcoming some of the biggest financial hurdles we've seen this year. I would recommend being transparent not only about the difficult financial performances most of us are seeing this year, but also about where we are starting to see real improvement that can give us all confidence that [2023] will be a significantly better year than [2022].


It's the smell that hits you first as you walk in the door. Followed by the large selection of baked goods on display. With pastries stacked high across a long table, it's an assault on the senses in all the right ways. From meringues the size of your head to lemon bars and chocolate brownies to every kind of pie imaginable (sweet and savory!), there is something for everyone. There are vegan, low fat and flourless treats available as well.
That said, given its namesake, at Purebread, it's all about the bread. With over 20 varieties to choose from, you can go from classics like baguettes and ciabatta to more adventurous flavours like cheddar jalapeno and sour cherry chocolate. With such a large selection of goods, every day there is something a little different to try while keeping their customer favourites available.
A few of my favourites are their chocolate almond croissant and lemon bars, but you really can't go wrong with anything at Purebread. Everything I've had is extremely satisfying. Purebread is great if you're looking for a sweet treat or a light lunch. If you need a jolt of caffeine, they also serve Stumptown Coffee and locally sourced tea. Despite the higher price tag, each pastry is large and very filling. The storefront itself has some seating, but it is limited.

Mark on the photo copy the 37-42 week period this reinforces the due month rather than the due date and gives the woman and her family an easy reference for her gestation throughout the pregnancy. Then write the names of the parents on the paper, and make a few notes around the wheel.

An Antoni Tàpies piece entitled Marc-Creu, on loan from the Lorenarte Gallery in Madrid, an unpublished edition of etchings by painter Marià Fortuny, a series of 18th century pharmaceutical recipients from the Olga de Sandoval antiques gallery – this is just a sample of the thousands of articles of furniture, sculpture, jewellery and ceramics that, from the 4th to the 8th of March, can been seen and purchased in the Barcelona Modern Art and Antiques Fair on its return following a three-year absence.
This year the Gremi d'Antiquaris de Catalunya, or Antique Dealers' Association of Barcelona, has foreshortened the fair and lent it a more refreshing, didactic feel. Under the acronym FAMA, the fair will take place in the 2000 square metre Marqués de Comillas Room of the Drassanes Reiales, or Royal Shipyards, and will feature around thirty exhibitors who will present a range of objects including pieces of African, Pre-Colombian and Oriental art as well as archaeological materials and objects that form part of the history of arts and crafts in Catalonia.
Beginning on Wednesday the 4th of March at 5 pm and continuing up until Sunday the 8th, the exhibition space will also feature tasting sessions, book presentations and the celebration of Art Night on Thursday the 5th from 8 pm to 10 pm.


Did you know that Physics has a term for unused energy? Potential energy or stored energy is known to be energy that has not yet taken action. Wow, think about that for a minute. Imagine an apple seed. As small as it is, it has an enormous amount of stored energy. That little seed has the stored energy to create a huge tree that can contribute to sustaining other lives with the fruit it will produce. If something as small as an apple seed fulfills it's purpose by using it's energy to create something so beautiful, powerful, and life-sustaining, imagine what you could do with your potential energy. Our quest in life, like the seed, is to use our potential energy to uncover, pursue, and fulfill our own unique purpose in life.
We have all traveled different paths to get to this moment. No matter how we got here, if we know in our hearts that we have more to accomplish, then there are a few steps that we should apply our energy to that will move our quest forward.
Self-realization. An apple seed has a map of what it is suppose to become. Likewise, so do people. We need to find our map and dust it off. If you feel stuck, unmotivated, or like your simply existing rather than living, then you need to make sure you are following the right path. After all, wouldn't you be surprised if you planted an apple seed and up grew a cherry tree? We simply cannot have complete life-satisfaction if we are following a map that does not have the right direction for us. This has to do with knowing yourself on a very deep level. Knowledge of who you are and who you are becoming is key to moving forward.
Defining Core Values. Your core values are like the roots to a tree. They supply the nutrients for the tree to flourish. If a tree had unhealthy roots, it could not sustain a healthy vibrant life. The most important step to living passionately is knowing unequivocally what your top three core values are. For you to grow and remain strong, you need to build your life on your core values.
Creating Your Personal Vision. Your personal vision should be built around your top values. You can compare your vision to the trunk of the tree. The trunk is strong and unwavering. This is the piece that holds up all the branches and foliage of the tree. Your vision statement is the piece that is the strong base that will define your life's meaning.
Goal Setting. A vision cannot be realized without a plan in place that will get us to our vision. Our goals can be compared to the branches of a tree. The branches run off in every direction. This should also be true of your goals. You should have goals for every aspect of your life. These should cover relationships, career, and self.
Then the fun begins. Once all of this is in order and you begin to achieve your goals your vision will start to come to fruition. This is when you can begin sharing your experiences and growth with other people. In going back to our metaphor of the tree, a healthy tree will begin to produce fruit. With this fruit the tree can feed others. Just like with our unique purpose we can help others to grow.
At The Human Factor, we have all of the tools you need to help you through this discovery process. By using personality assessments, Life-Satisfaction Toolkits, achievement objectives, and many other coaching tools we can support you on your quest to the achievement of life-satisfaction.
Debi is a Certified Master Coach, focusing her efforts on helping clients raise their level of life-satisfaction. As a coach, she has been able to follow her passion of inspiring people to uncover their individual greatness allowing them to grow in self-confidence, self-awareness, and ultimately life happiness.

Why Does My Kid Feel Entitled To A Cellphone?
Five of our experts explain how parents teach their kids that they 'deserve' the latest technology.
Your son or daughter approaches you and begs for the latest cellphone, tablet, mp3 player or laptop. Do you say "yes" and give in to their wants or do you hold out to teach them how to responsibly earn it on their own? More and more parents are giving into their kids' demands, and more and more kids are growing up into entitled adults. So how do we — as parents — stop the cycle?
In this video, Senior VP of Experts Melanie Gorman turns to YourTango Experts Paula Bisacre, Morrisa Drobnick, Randy Nathan and Carolyn Meyer-Wartels to give parents advice.
"As a parent, I can say that it is hard to watch your child struggle," says Meyer-Wartels. "I have to hold myself back and know that I am building some strength there that is internal."


The piece as well as the title is both a result of one of de Jongs methods of working – combining sentences and illustrations in the moment he makes them. Never really consciously thinking about the meaning or result, except him liking them put together.
Isak de Jong (b. 1992) is an artist living and working in Stockholm. de Jong is currently studying Visual Communication at Beckmans College of Design in Stockholm, while freelancing as an Art Director, Illustrator, Photographer and Graphic Designer in the little free time that's left.
de Jong finds his inspiration in everyday life, bitterness and tragicomedy. Most of his illustrations derives from observations, overheard conversations and thoughts he gets and hears while walking in Stockholm or on the subway – quickly scribbled down in his notebook or on his phone. With a fondness for stories and emotions he tries to create art with a value beyond just aesthetics which the consumer can relate to personally.
