I was determined not to do political commentary this week, especially commentary pertaining to health care. I was so determined that I composed a social commentary piece and was about to post it in the wee hours of Sunday morning, but I couldn't.
My conscience put me back at the drawing board at 12:20 AM.
In my mind I kept seeing the images of disabled protesters being physically removed from a Senate hearing chamber. These protesters, some in wheel chairs and on crutches, had disrupted a hearing about the Republicans' most recent doomed attempt to undo the Affordable Healthcare Act.
These protesters were asking elected officials to preserve and protect Medicaid, a health care access safety net for many disabled citizens. Their chant went, "No cuts to Medicaid, save our liberty," and they started yelling it as soon as the hearing began.
I have mixed feelings about all the protesting going on, but this one was awesome.
It was awesome because you could tell these protesters made just about everyone in the hearing room uncomfortable. And it was that delicious kind of uncomfortable when people not only feel uncomfortable about what's happening but then they feel uncomfortable for feeling uncomfortable about something involving a vulnerable population.
Unlike so many of the protests going on, this one was a direct hit in terms of impact. Target audience reached — directly and dramatically in an unforgettable way.
The C-Span video is pretty compelling. I like it because it clearly shows how challenging it was for law enforcement to remove people in wheelchairs when they were refusing to go. And refusing to stop chanting at the top of their lungs.
Hatch managed to feign control of the room and his face at first, but the level of discomfort becomes evident quickly. Eventually, Hatch, apparently overcome by this discomfort, called for a recess and left the room without even acknowledging the protesters' concerns.
Even though the protesters were clearly and intentionally out of order, I found Hatch's conduct to be dismissive and condescending at best. Dismissive and condescending seem to be major themes when it comes to some Republicans and health and human services, though.
That brings me to the other political news tugging at my conscience for attention: Fiscal conservative HHS Secretary Tom Price's travel expense scandal exploded within days of the hearing debacle.
Price's conduct is the extreme epitome of what I call the health and social service till problem — it's the over-arching problem under which all other problems with the system lie.
The till problem begins at the beginning, whenever money is appropriated to serve vulnerable populations. Right off the bat, the till gets drained a bit to maintain the bureaucracy in DC. Then it gets drained a bit more as it hits state bureaucracies and the management teams of their private contractors and providers.
By the time the till gets to actually providing real services to the target population, there's not much left in there. In short, the entitlement problem isn't that program recipients feel entitled. The entitlement problem is how entitled people in charge of entitlement programs are capable of being.
In extreme cases, entitled enough to bill for expensive transportation while proposing spending cuts and entitled enough to ignore disabled protesters except to tell them to shut up. So entitled that this blogger wants to tell Price just where he can go on his next expensive private charter flight.
I wouldn't mind telling Hatch who it is that needs to shut up, either.


In The Hazard of Humphries, I wrote extensively about CAAF's decade-and-a-half-long struggle to adopt the Supreme Court's test for plain error, which is error that may be remedied on appeal despite being forfeited by the failure to make a timely objection at trial (as opposed to an error that is preserved by a timely objection, or error that is waived by an intentional relinquishment at trial).
First, there must be an error or defect – some sort of deviation from a legal rule – that has not been intentionally relinquished or abandoned, i.e., affirmatively waived, by the appellant. Second, the legal error must be clear or obvious, rather than subject to reasonable dispute. Third, the error must have affected the appellant's substantial rights, which in the ordinary case means he must demonstrate that it affected the outcome of the district court proceedings. Fourth and finally, if the above three prongs are satisfied, the court of appeals has the discretion to remedy the error – discretion which ought to be exercised only if the error seriously affect[s] the fairness, integrity or public reputation of judicial proceedings. Meeting all four prongs is difficult, as it should be.
Puckett v. United States, 556 U.S. 129, 135, (2009) (marks and citations omitted). See also United States v. Humphries, 71 M.J. 219, 220 (C.A.A.F. 2012) (Stucky, J. dissenting) ("There are four elements to the Supreme Court's plain error doctrine.").
In 2009, Specialist Clifton was convicted by a general court-martial composed of members with enlisted representation, contrary to his pleas, of making a false official statement and aggravated assault, in violation of Articles 107 and 128, UCMJ. He was sentenced to confinement for six months and a bad-conduct discharge. His convictions were for actions leading to injuries sustained by his infant daughter, and at trial his defense was that the injuries were really caused by his wife.
After closing arguments, one of the enlisted members asked to recall two witnesses: a medical provider and the Appellant's wife. The request to recall a medical provider was disapproved because the military judge found that all of the testifying medical providers had "been permanently excused," and the request to call the Appellant's wife was disapproved because the judge found that "we have closed all of the evidence." Trial and Defense Counsel were asked if they had any objections to these denials, and both stated that they had none.
The Army CCA reviewed the court-martial, and considered an assignment of error relating to the military judge's denial of the member's request. The CCA found that "the absence of a defense objection to the military judge's actions does not equate to waiver." Slip op. at 3. The court then considered the error, and found that the military judge abused his discretion in denying the member's request based on a lack of evidence in the record that the judge considered the four factors required by United States v. Lampani, 14 M.J. 22, 26 (C.M.A. 1982) (difficulty and delay; materiality; possibility of a claim of privilege; and, objections of the parties).
Under Article 59(a), UCMJ, in order to grant relief, the military judge's error must have materially prejudiced appellant's substantial rights. Because the error is a nonconstitutional one, the government must demonstrate "the error did not have a substantial influence on the findings." Rios, 64 M.J. at 569 (quoting United States v. Berry, 61 M.J. 91, 97 (C.A.A.F. 2005) (additional citations omitted)).
Slip op. at 3 (emphasis added). But Berry was a case with preserved error (i.e., the defense objected to the testimony of a Government witness), and Rios was a case, like Clifton, with either a forfeited or waived error, because the defense did not object to the military judge's denial of a member's request. In other words, the ACCA has the plain-error test wrong, and had it wrong in Rios too.
I see this as the real question in this case: Was the military judge's error (assuming it was error) in denying the member's request: preserved (no), forfeited (maybe), or waived (I think so), when the trial defense counsel said he had no objection to the military judge's action? And, if it was forfeited, should an appellate court grant relief?
Much of the Appellant's brief rehashes the underlying issue of the denial of the member's request being error. But the brief also argues that the error was not harmless because "it is not evident from the record that the Appellant's counsel made a tactical decision not to object to the military judge's ruling," (Appellant's Br. at 14) and "the error was not harmless because the government cannot prove the error did not have a substantial influence on the findings" (Appellant's Br. at 16).
In the Government's brief, the Government's counsel argues that "[t]he defense's agreement with the military judge's ruling to not allow a member to recall two witnesses either: a) waived the issue for appeal, or b) was consistent with their strategy to argue reasonable doubt, and therefore any potential for the panel member in question to resolve an lingering doubt would have been detrimental to appellant." Gov't Br. at 5. The brief does a fact-intensive analysis of each witness's testimony to demonstrate that "the Government's evidence was overwhelming, especially in light of the two confessions appellant made." Gov't Br. at 23. "Therefore, any error . . . was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt." Gov't Br. at 26.
In a reply brief, the Appellant argues that since the Government did not appeal the CCA's decision that the Appellant did not waive the error at trial, that finding is now the law of the case and the Government's argument that the error was waived is (essentially) mooted. But by just reading the granted issue, it looks like the question of waiver is in dispute at CAAF. The ACCA would have "erred when it determined the military judge committed error" if the lack of objection from the Defense waived any error.
None of the briefs clearly address the question of who has to demonstrate what in this case, and both appear to embrace the ACCA's conclusion that the Government must demonstrate that the error is harmless. But because the Appellant did not object at trial, the error was at least forfeited, meaning that "it is Appell[ant]s burden to prove material prejudice to a substantial right." United States v. Humphries, 71 M.J. 209, 217 N.10 (C.A.A.F. 2012) (citing United States v. Girouard, 70 M.J. 5, 11 (C.A.A.F. 2011)). So the ACCA's assignment of the burden is wrong, and I think CAAF will put the burden to demonstrate prejudice squarely on the Appellant (who will be unable to bear it). I also believe that CAAF will ultimately find that this error was waived, and affirm the conviction on that basis.
And, in the process, I believe the court will show its readiness to move yet another step closer to the full, four-prong test for plain error.

Project N95, Harvard FXB Center Launch Masks for Communities to Distribute 1m Units of Respiratory Protection
BROOKLYN, NY, USA, May 9, 2022
National not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) group Project N95, has partnered with the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard University to distribute 1 million respirators in local communities at no cost. Working with 23 community groups in 10 states (see list below), the partners have already distributed over 500,000 respirators with the support of a generous donation of 500,000 N95s to Project N95 by medical devices manufacturer Advanced Concept Innovations (ACI) of Lakeland Florida.
Covid cases have been increasing again in the US in recent weeks. Public health officials are seeing surging cases prompted by the Omicron BA.2 variant, which has hit Europe and Asia. The BA.2 variant is more contagious than all previous Covid variants, with some epidemiologists suggesting it could be on par with Measles in terms of ease of spreading. The rise in cases is coming at a time when Federal funding for vaccines, testing and respiratory protection is being reduced and when every state has removed indoor mask mandates.
"The pandemic is sadly not over and as mask-mandates are removed and federal funding for COVID-19 response and mitigation measures decrease, risk for infection among the most vulnerable, including poor people, increases significantly," said FXB Executive Director Dr. Natalia Linos.
"A key health equity strategy is to remove financial barriers to accessing proven preventive measures that reduce community transmission. We're pleased to partner with Project N95 and community organizations to make high-quality masks available for free. This can help ensure everyone has the opportunity to protect themselves and their loved ones, not just those with the means to do so," Dr. Linos added.
"Without high-quality respiratory protection, the potential for BA.2 to spread rapidly is high. Because so many people are still not vaccinated, and so few have received boosters, we could see rapidly increasing hospitalizations and deaths from BA.2. We want people to be protected, regardless of their ability to pay for high-quality respiratory protection. Project N95 believes strongly that literally everyone deserves quality respiratory protection during the pandemic. Quality products need to be accessible, affordable and authentic, and many distribution sites for the Biden Administration's National N95 distribution program no longer have N95s available," said Project N95 Executive Director Anne Miller.
Many low-income and high-risk Americans would not have access to affordable, high-quality respiratory protection without the help of local organizations and programs including this one.
"Fair Count has been a proud partner of organizations and community leaders in expanding access to COVID-related information, vaccines, and masks in Black, LatinX, and Native American communities across Georgia. With the continued support of partners like the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights and Project N95, we look forward to continuing to make virus mitigation a component of our outreach efforts in historically underserved communities," said Rebecca DeHart, Fair Count CEO, Georgia.
The funding for the masks comes from generous manufacturers, individuals and companies. US mask manufacturers have already committed to donate masks to at-need Americans through Project N95's Masks for Communities Program.
In addition to the generous in-kind donations from American mask makers, the groups are seeking funds to support the program and help the community groups. To learn more about the campaign, or to make a donation, please see https://www.projectn95.org/masks-for-communities-coalition.

A special shout out to National Jobs with Justice, in Washington, DC for connecting us with many of these distribution partners.
About the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard University
The François-Xavier Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights (FXB Center) was founded and endowed by Albina du Boisrouvray in 1993. Her goal was to provide protection to children by furthering the vision for health and human rights of founding director Jonathan Mann, and it received the enthusiastic collaboration of then Dean Harvey Fineberg. We use interdisciplinary approaches to promote equity and dignity for those oppressed by racism, poverty, and stigma, nationally and around the world. We are proud to partner with a diverse group of scholars, educators, elected officials, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and members of the international policy community to advance health and human rights, and to show the harmful effects of violations on children.

Hello, Dreamspinner readers! For those who don't know me, I'm J. C. Long, and I'm a writer by night and an English teacher by day who's been living in Asia for several years, right now in Japan. My most recent release is Broadway Babe, a novella that takes place behind the curtains of a Broadway musical.
At its heart, Broadway Babe is about passion, creativity, and drive. Broadway performers have all of those things, in spades. The inspiration for the story comes from my own life—I was in theatre for the majority of my childhood, and it's played a major role in my life and shaping me as a person. I learned so much about owning myself and the masks that we wear around others. It was theatre that surrounded me with wonderful friends and a support system that allowed me to come out in high school and have a relatively safe experience (compared to others; I had my share of bad experiences, but others had it so much worse). While I never made it to Broadway, I love performing and the feeling I get from it.
Acting is about storytelling—embodying the role of a character to communicate the words of the playwright. I feel like writing is a lot like that, to be honest. When I'm writing I will often read my dialogue as if I am the characters so that I can see how it makes sense. An actor has to get inside the head of the character, understand their motivations beyond what's on the page to truly embody the story and make their characters alive. That's the hallmark of a good thespian—someone who can make a character seem like a real person, as opposed to a two-dimensional character who is just going through the motions because the script said so. Interestingly enough, this is also the hallmark of a good writer—can he or she make the character's seem three dimensional, give the essence of motivation behind actions, instead of a simple case of "this is happening in order to advance the plot even though I have no real reason to act this way".
In this current day I think everyone needs a little pick me up, some happy considering the darkness that we're facing, with the Dark Lord in the White House. I really think that Broadway Babe delivers in the feel good department. I did my best to keep it as low on angst as possible so that everyone could read it and come away happy. Don't worry, Tate and Mike get their happily ever after! What's romance without it, right?
Now, everybody likes a giveaway, right? Well, I'll be giving away one free eBook of Broadway Babe to a lucky participant! If you want to enter, I hope you've been following my blog tour (if not you can go to my website, listed below, to find links to all the stops) because for your entry I want you to tell me which of my seven other blog stops was your favorite. What did you like about it? Simply reply that to this post and I'll use a random number generator to select the winner in 72 hours! Good luck, everyone, and I hope you enjoy Broadway Babe and meeting Tate and Mike!
Check out Broadway Babe today!
Tate O'Connor has worked hard to realize his dream of dancing on Broadway, and it's about to pay off with a premier in his first show. He doesn't expect the distraction of sharing the stage with his celebrity crush: Broadway superstar Mike Chang. Drama ensues both onstage and off as Tate and Mike work closely and realize there could be something between them. However, there are those who don't think an up-and-coming dancer is good enough for someone with Mike's talent and fame, and rumors and misunderstandings might lead to broken hearts if Tate and Mike can't work through their confusion and insecurity.
J. C. Long is an American expat living in Japan, though he's also lived stints in Seoul, South Korea—no, he's not an Army brat; he's an English teacher. He is also quite passionate about Welsh corgis and is convinced that anyone who does not like them is evil incarnate. His dramatic streak comes from his lifelong involvement in theater. After living in several countries aside from the United States, J. C. is convinced that love is love, no matter where you are, and is determined to write stories that demonstrate exactly that. J. C.'s favorite things in the world are pictures of corgis, writing, and Korean food (not in that order… okay, in that order). J. C. spends his time not writing thinking about writing, coming up with new characters, attending Big Bang concerts, and wishing he were writing. The best way to get him to write faster is to motivate him with corgi pictures. Yes, that is a veiled hint.
Squee!! I can't wait to read it!!!
Becca: I'm excited you're excited!
Dee: Anne Cain did a wonderful job with the cover! I love it. and I had a lot of fun writing Tate's interview. It was nice to see them in a silly fun back-and-forth.

I have a question about maintenance on your doubles. Once you feel like you have a good foundation and can play them at a high level, how do you maintain that in your practice routine?
There's no great answer to your question. Playing one instrument "at a high level" takes lots of time and commitment, and playing several just multiplies the requirement.
Spend some time living in the world of each instrument. Read books and journals, buy and listen to recordings, attend concerts, masterclasses, and conferences. When I start to feel like I'm really getting a handle on an instrument, it's time to go immerse myself in it and realize what is really possible. Last month I went to the John Mack Oboe Camp, and was blown away by the great playing I heard there. It made me really aware of some things that needed improvement in my own playing. I got to participate in some masterclasses and got some great suggestions.
Keep yourself challenged. I do a faculty recital each year for my college teaching job, and I try to crank things up by a small notch each year in terms of difficulty. Not because difficult music is necessarily better, but because I need to push myself. Find something you can't quite do—a repertoire piece, a fundamental technique issue, an advanced or extended technique—and work on it until you can do it.
Focus on fundamentals. There just isn't time in the day to give each instrument the 3-4 hours of practice they need. What time I do have, I try to really pack with long tones, scales, and other really fundamental stuff, and make everything as perfect, polished, and controlled as possible.
In general, I'm not that concerned about keeping fingers close to instrument keys. A lot of woodwind players and teachers seem to believe that "close" fingers mean more speed, which I haven't found necessarily to be the case. To me, a much larger factor is tension: if my fingers are tense (because, for example, I'm trying really hard to keep them close to the keys), they move more slowly.
But when I work with beginning clarinetists (whether first-time instrumentalists or doublers), many of them seem to have a great deal of trouble with squeaks and with notes responding sluggishly—problems that I think in most cases can be traced to fingers not completely covering toneholes, or not covering them in a synchronized way. And one of the major reasons that this happens is that the fingers are too detached from from the keys. It's not a question of distance, per se, but one of awareness.
I'm always pleased to hear from other woodwind players. Terry Halvorson has been a contributor to my Broadway woodwind doubling list for several years, we've communicated periodically online, and we even bumped into each other in person at an IDRS conference a few years back. Terry has been working as a musician with touring musical theater productions for a while now, and I was curious about life on the road. He was kind enough to take some time out of his schedule to answer a few questions.
TH: I am a woodwind doubler (oboe/English horn, flutes, clarinets, saxophones, recorders, whistles). I am currently 44 years old and have been performing musical theater since I was 14. I have been playing the Reed 2 book (oboe and English horn) with the national tour of Disney's Beauty and the Beast since February 2010 and will be continuing, switching to the Reed 3 book (clarinet, bass clarinet, 2nd flute) from late September through May 2013.
I was called back in late 2005 by a musical director friend to play a reed book on the tour of Will Rogers Follies, but I had commitments at the time that I couldn't get out of, so I had to turn it down. However the reed player who was hired gave notice four months into the eight-month contract and I was able to join the tour in the middle, replacing him (my first experience seeing a high D on flute!). Toward the end of this tour, we were in the New York City area when NETworks Presentations (my current company) was holding musician auditions, and I was able to attend; I received a call five weeks later asking me if I would like to play with the national tour of The Producers, and here I still am!
What background (education, other experience, etc.) do you have that prepared you for this job?
Wow, loaded question… well, I have been a major woodwind geek since high school (I arranged my favorite band piece for mixed clarinet sextet when I was 14 years old, and we won a command performance at our regional solo and ensemble festival); I also played oboe, clarinet and bassoon in my local youth symphony in various years. I was, of course, a music major (oboe and clarinet) in college as well, beginning as an education major but switching to performance. I freelanced a LOT, playing mostly reed books 2 and 3.
What's the best part of the job? What's the worst part?
Best parts are having a steady paycheck as a performing musician (how many people can say that?) and of course seeing and experiencing all the different places we play; I have played all fifty states and most Canadian provinces. The worst part is probably the lack of freedom to come and go and the strict adherence to a schedule.

Scientific Results of Double Blind Test of Thomas John's Mediumship Abilities
Statement posted with permission of Dr. Gary Schwartz.
I wanted to share with you the results of an exciting experiment I was recently a part of.
As you know, there are many skeptics to the work I do, and I am constantly faced with criticism for the work that I do. I have no problem with that, as I understand the need for people to really understand the work I do. In fact, I think it's kind of cool that there are skeptics—they need to have a voice, too.
The only way to really take on skeptics is to approach them with hard science. That's why, when Dr. Gary Schwartz reached out to me to test my mediumistic abilities, I jumped at the chance. Schwartz is a PhD psychologist who was trained at Harvard University, and has tested the veracity of mediums for over 20 years. He knows the scientific way to test mediums, and I thought this would be a great opportunity.
We did two test readings, and after he scored the readings, he released the following statement about me:
"I evaluated the purported mediumistic abilities of Thomas John in 2019 during two different double blind sessions. The subjects – both senior PhD senior scientists – who wished to hear from their 'departed' wives, were not told who the medium would be. And Thomas was not told, and had no way of discovering, who the subjects would be. Only I, the researcher, knew these details.
The readings were done via Zoom with the subject and medium literally being across the U.S. from each other. For the second subject, the video was not on; hence, Thomas could not see the subject.
Despite all these controls, Thomas's results were among the best I've observed in over 20 years of experiments with evidential mediums. He provided many specific details that were highly meaningful for the subject and rated very highly in a post-reading assessment. Further, his readings were rated as significantly more accurate by the subject versus a non-subject of similar age and life situation, that is, had a wife who recently passed on.
As a scientist, I follow the data. In this case, the data strongly indicate that Thomas John did indeed — at least in these two cases — communicate quite accurately with 'deceased' loved ones of these two subjects. Given the design of my evaluations, there are no other reasonable explanations for the findings (including fraud and cold reading).
I was willing to evaluate Thomas, in part, because of my deep interest in protecting people — whether living on earth or elsewhere — from unsubstantiated negative claims. The title of my upcoming book, 'Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence: The Science and Ethics of Truth Seeking and Truth Abuse', is based on a statement by the esteemed astrophysicist and professor Carl Sagan, PhD. Unfortunately, we live in a time when people are attacked with little or no basis. Based on the results of my evaluations, it is quite possible that Thomas has been the victim of such unfounded attacks."

There was never that one moment. As a kid I played hockey in the winter and rode a bike in the summer. I was combining those two disciplines until I turned 14 and realized that cycling and being outside is much more fun.
Every time I win a race and can raise my hands in the air is special.
Ronde van Vlaanderen and Paris-Roubaix. These are legendary races in which you have to be 100% ready. I also like cobbles, especially when my form is at its peak.
I always wanted to be a professional rider, so I can't imagine myself doing something else.
Josef Černý is the 2018 Czech national champion in both the road race and individual time trial. He jumped onto the professional scene in 2013 as a rider of a CCC-sponsored team and did it in style by finishing 2nd in a stage at Giro del Trentino and wearing the leader's jersey for one day. Černý proved his potential later on, winning the general classification at the Czech Cycling Tour and Okolo Jižních Čech. In addition to winning two national titles, his 2018 season was marked with multiple top-5 finishes in stage races.


It is amazing to me how time passes, apparently so quickly sometimes. I can't believe that we are over half way through August already. Before I know it my oldest will be back in school, and time will pass even quicker. Halloween will be here, then Christmas, Valentine's and then wrap up ballet recitals and school plays. My favorite sitcoms will end, the snow will finally cease and before I know it, I will be back here, saying these words once again in another year.
I wish I could slow time down.
But in the end we all have to live our lives. We can't avoid doing things just to make time run slower, we can't will more time to exist. And so I am just going to try to do what I can to enjoy the fleeting moments as I can right now.
I will try to remember when my little guy is yelling incoherent babble at me that soon enough he will be a young man playing sports and eyeing up love interests. I will try to remember that my daughter is very quickly (way too rapidly) blossoming from a little girl into a teenager. I will try to recall that day I said "I do" nine years ago and embrace the fact that my husband and I are still young, and can still literally do anything we want to.
A little morbid, these thoughts of time fleeting.
i have received the first draft of the cover design and boy is it ever beautiful! I cannot express the excitement that is mounting as I see my name typed on a book cover. It is becomming very real that in one short month I will have my own novel printed and in hand. There have been a few delays but thankfully those have been sorting out themselves.
I still plan to have the printed copies by the middle of September and barring any printing delays or massive errors when the proof copy comes in, we should be able to stick on schedule.
Life's Defeat is completely written and now in the first stages of editing!

On this episode of "By Any Means Necessary" hosts Eugene Puryear and Sean Blackmon are joined by Dr. Bill Honigman, California State Coordinator and Co-Coordinator of the Healthcare as a Human Right Issue Organizing Team for Progressive Democrats of America to talk about the Green New Deal, the urgent need to address climate change, and Nancy Pelosi dissing the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced legislation.
In the second segment we are joined by Kamau Franklin, a lawyer and Founder of Community Movement Builders in Atlanta, to discuss the life and politics of recently deceased New Afrikan Independence Movement organizer Nehanda Abiodun, who had been living in exile in Cuba for over 30 years. We discuss Abiodun's contributions to the Black Liberation Struggle in the US, her unceasing solidarity work and how she sought to build bridges between revolutionary Cuba and Black Americans.
Later in the show we are joined by Noa Levy, head of Police Project in The Public Committee Against Torture in Israel to talk about the Israeli police killing of Ethiopian-Israeli Yehuda Biadga, the state of Israel's inability to address mental health crisis, and the role Israel's "Jewish nation-state" law will have on April elections.
Technologist Chris Garaffa joins Sean Blackmon and Bob Schlehuber to talk about how phone companies are selling location data to bounty hunters, the deepening fallout caused by a Facebook research app, Apple's pushback against Facebook, and Google's staggering income and regulatory fines in 2018.
In the fourth segment Jon Liss, Co-Executive Director of Virginia New Majority joins to talk about the ongoing political scandals in the state of Virginia, how the scandal has distracted from addressing issues important to poor people in Virginia, efforts to protect Virginians who live near the newly planned Amazon HQ 2, and what to expect from the 2019 state elections.
Later in the show, Eugene Puryear and Sean Blackmon are joined by technologist Cory Lancaster and Sputnik news analyst Bob Schlehuber to talk about Candice Owens' very regrettable comments regarding nationalism and Hitler, the inherent racial biases of tech developed in the United States, Amazon potentially cancelling its new headquarters in New York City, and tough German regulations on Facebook.

capital (adj.)
early 13c., "of or pertaining to the head," from Old French capital, from Latin capitalis "of the head," hence "capital, chief, first," from caput (genitive capitis) "head" (from PIE root *kaput- "head"). The meaning "main, principal, chief, dominant, first in importance" is from early 15c. in English. The modern informal sense of "excellent, first-rate" is by 1754 (as an exclamation of approval, OED's first example is 1875), perhaps from earlier use of the word in reference to ships, "first-rate, powerful enough to be in the line of battle," attested from 1650s, fallen into disuse after 1918. Related: Capitally.
A capital letter "upper-case latter," of larger face and differing more or less in form (late 14c.) is so called because it stands at the "head" of a sentence or word. Capital gain is recorded from 1921. Capital goods is recorded from 1899.
A capital crime or offense (1520s) is one that involves the penalty of death and thus affects the life or "head" (capital had a sense of "deadly, mortal" from late 14c. in English, as it did earlier in Latin). The felt connection between "head" and "life, mortality" also existed in Old English: as in heafodgilt "deadly sin, capital offense," heafdes þolian "to forfeit life." Capital punishment was in Blackstone (1765) and classical Latin capitis poena.
capital (n.3)
"head of a column or pillar," late 13c., from Anglo-French capitel, Old French chapitel (Modern French chapiteau), or directly from Latin capitellum "head of a column or pillar," literally "little head," diminutive of caput "head" (from PIE root *kaput- "head").
early 15c., "a capital letter," from capital (adj.). The meaning "city or town which is the official seat of government" is recorded from 1660s (the Old English word was heafodstol; Middle English had hevedburgh). For the financial sense see capital (n.2).
1610s, "a person's wealth," from Medieval Latin capitale "stock, property," noun use of neuter of Latin capitalis "capital, chief, first" (see capital (adj.)). From 1640s as "the wealth employed in carrying on a particular business," then, in a broader sense in political economy, "that part of the produce of industry which is available for further production" (1793).
[The term capital] made its first appearance in medieval Latin as an adjective capitalis (from caput, head) modifying the word pars, to designate the principal sum of a money loan. The principal part of a loan was contrasted with the "usury"—later called interest—the payment made to the lender in addition to the return of the sum lent. This usage, unknown to classical Latin, had become common by the thirteenth century and possibly had begun as early as 1100 A.D., in the first chartered towns of Europe. [Frank A. Fetter, "Reformulation of the Concepts of Capital and Income in Economics and Accounting," 1937, in "Capital, Interest, & Rent," 1977]
Also see cattle, and compare sense development of fee, and pecuniary. Middle English had chief money "principal fund" (mid-14c.). The noun use of the adjective in classical Latin meant "a capital crime."
capital letter (n.)
late 14c.; see capital (adj.). So called because it is at the "head" of a sentence or word.
"computer operating system using a disk storage device," 1967, acronym of disk operating system.
undercover (adj.)
1854, "sheltered," from under + cover (n.). Sense of "operating secretly" attested from 1920.
modus operandi (n.)
"way of doing or accomplishing," 1650s, Latin, literally "mode of operating" (see modus). Abbreviation m.o. is attested from 1955.
boot (v.2)
1975, transitive, "start up (a computer) by causing an operating system to load in the memory," from bootstrap (v.), a 1958 derived verb from bootstrap (n.) in the sense of "fixed sequence of instructions to load the operating system of a computer" (1953).
This is from the notion of the first-loaded program pulling itself (and the rest) up by the bootstrap. The intransitive use, of a computer operating system, is from 1983. Related: Booted; booting.
Windows (n.)
the computer operating system by Microsoft was introduced in 1985 and modified thereafter; it was predominant by c. 1995.


With its Silverado 1500 continuing to trail the Ford F-150 in sales, Chevrolet is bringing out a complete redesign for the 2019 model. Now Ford is banking on the new Ranger as a Chevy rival and a solid alternative to its best-selling full-size F-150. The midsize Chevrolet Colorado and Toyota Tacoma both notched sales increases past year even though overall US sales were down.
Jonathan Smoke, the chief economist for Cox Automotive, says customers looking for an affordable vehicle past year were more likely to shop for used SUVs over new small cars.

Visually, the ST scores a mesh grille which looks more aggressive than the standard one, as well as tougher-looking side skirts and dual-exhaust outlets. Compare that to auto sales, which dropped almost 11 percent.
Silverado variants range from the sporty RST to the off-road LT Trailboss and premium High Country. It goes on sale in the second quarter at a starting price of $18,545 - less than its predecessor.

Under the hood is the same 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine that powers the Ford Mustang sports auto.
Yet, despite the remarkable recent record of innovation and the significant investments made in developing a new generation of clean vehicle solutions, the automotive industry - through its trade associations - has chosen a path to weaken our existing emissions standards and has stayed silent as EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt has threatened California's own protective vehicle emission standards.

On 15 January 2013 sadly passed away Princess Margarita von Baden, aged 80, at her home in Farnham, England.
She was born at Salem Castle, Germany on 14 July 1932 as daughter of Margrave Berthold von Baden and Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark. She was the daughter of Margrave Berthold von Baden and Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark, a sister of the Duke of Edinburgh. In 1957 she married Prince Tomislav of Yugoslavia (1928-2000), with whom she had a son, Nicholas, and a daughter, Katarina. The couple divorced in 1981. Princess Margarita is also survived by two granddaughters and a great-grandson.
A funeral service took place at the Serbian Orthodox Church St Sava in London on 24 January. Among the mourners in London were the daughter, son and granddaughters of the deceased, as well as her former son-in-law Sir Desmond de Silva, the Duke of Edinburgh, Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, Princess Sarvath of Jordan and two of her daughters, Margrave Max and Margravinne Valerie von Baden, Prince Ludwig and Princess Marianne von Baden, Hereditary Prince Bernhard and Hereditary Princess Stephanie von Baden, Prince Leopold von Baden, Prince Michael von Baden, Prince Berthold von Baden, Princess Marie-Louise von Baden, Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine of Serbia and Prince Philip of Serbia.
Princess Margarita was buried at the margravely cemetery at Salem, Germany, after a short orthodox service in the late afternoon of 28 January 2013. The service was led by the Russian-Orthodox Archbishop Mark of Berlin and Germany. The coffin, covered with a flag with the arms of the House of Baden, was accompanied to the cemetery by singing Russian Orthodox nuns and guests with candles. A reception took place afterwards at the Garden Room of Salem Castle.
Among the about 150 guests were the brother of the deceased Margrave Max and Prince Ludwig, Hereditary Prince Bernhard and Hereditary Princess Stephanie von Baden with sons (see picture), Duke Friedrich and Duke Ferdinand (see picture) von Württemberg, Prince Rainer von Hessen, Prince Albrecht von Hohenzollern, Prince Andreas and Princess Luise zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg, Fürst Andreas zu Leiningen, Princess Elisabeth zu Ysenburg und Büdingen and Count Björn Bernadotte af Wisborg.

by Mike Jones
– on Nov 23, 2015
Whether you're a die-hard Quentin Tarantino fan or not, no one has any trouble remembering Django Unchained, the director's 2012 foray into the spaghetti Western. The violent, star-studded tale of an antebellum-era slave-turned-bounty-hunter was a massive hit at box-offices the world over and marked career Oscar number two for both Tarantino and Christoph Waltz.
As with all Quentin Tarantino films, Django Unchained faced its own somewhat steady degree of controversy, from claims of racism regarding Tarantino's re-imagining of history, to more commonplace criticism of his penchant for violence. Any time an interview took place with the director before, during, and after the film's release, Tarantino was typically quite open to discussion on most topics, although sometimes of course, he reached his limits.
One of the topics that Tarantino did speak of quite regularly was his casting decision for Django. Having made it clear quite early on that Jamie Foxx wasn't his original choice to play the role, Tarantino insisted that he had been speaking with several actors, the front-runner of which was Will Smith. After the film was released, the director revealed that after much discussion, Smith didn't walk away from the project, but that the material just wasn't 100 percent right for him. Now, during THR's annual actor's roundtable, Smith has spoken of his real reasons for not taking the role of Django.
"It was about the creative direction of the story. To me, it's as perfect a story as you could ever want: a guy that learns how to kill to retrieve his wife that has been taken as a slave. That idea is perfect. And it was just that Quentin and I couldn't see [eye to eye]."
Apparently, it was the violence that the two couldn't see eye to eye over. Where Tarantino saw the film as a bloody tale of vengeance, Smith saw it as a love story:
"I wanted to make that movie so badly, but I felt the only way was, it had to be a love story, not a vengeance story. We can't look at what happens in Paris [the terrorist attacks] and want to f— somebody up for that. Violence begets violence. I just couldn't connect to violence being the answer. Love had to be the answer."
This revelation comes just as Quentin Tarantino is preparing to once again embark on a promotional campaign for his follow up to Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight. That film sees Tarantino return to the Western genre once again, this time in the much more minimalist setting of a log cabin in the woods during a fierce blizzard. The film hits theatres this December and boasts a typically diverse Tarantino cast, including: Channing Tatum (Magic Mike), Samuel L Jackson (Chi-Raq), Kurt Russell (Furious 7), and Jennifer Jason Leigh (Twin Peaks), among others.
There's no denying that Will Smith is a massive Hollywood presence and can bring in a huge fanbase to anything he stars in. In this case however, it's hard to imagine that Smith's idea of a love story would have gone the distance. Anyone who's ever watched a Quentin Tarantino film knows that his stories are not love stories. Fans don't stand in line to see the latest Quentin Tarantino film because there's the promise of love – they go to see a smart, entertaining and yes often comically violent tale unfold before their eyes. If there's a lesson to be taken away from this incident, it's this: when Quentin Tarantino has a vision for a film, it's probably best not to mess with it. Like his films or not, the man knows what he's doing.
The Hateful 8 will be presented in 70mm in select theatres December 25, 2015 with a nationwide digital release following on January 8, 2016.

Kaltura Takes on Brightcove and KIT Digital in Europe
After finding success in North America, the open source online video platform is expanding to the European enterprise and education markets.
By Adrian Pennington
Learn more about the companies mentioned in this article in the Sourcebook:
Kaltura is expanding into Europe with the promise of challenging the existing broadcast and enterprise video businesses of players like KIT Digital and Brightcove.
The charge is being led by Kaltura's former vice president of strategy, Leah Belsky.
"Kaltura will shake-up the video market in Europe," Belsky said. "We will quickly outpace other providers in the broadcast space and be the leader for video hands-down. We will offer enterprise and education markets something that has not yet been offered by anyone in video. No-one can provide what we provide including Kumo, Brightcove, Cisco, and Ooyala."
Belsky becomes European general manager and head of a 15-strong team headquartered in London to target media companies, universities, and corporate enterprises across the continent with Kaltura's open source video platform.
The move is partly prompted, says Belsky, from demand by Kaltura's existing U.S. media customers to service their European operations.
Two major broadcasters have already signed on, although Kaltura won't say which. In North America, Kaltura's customers include ABC, HBO, Warner Bros., and Disney.
However, it is in the education and enterprise verticals where the Kaltura spies the most potential. Its European customers already include AstraZeneca, SAP, AkzoNobel, Nestle, and Siemens.
"There is an increasing trend toward the consumerisation of enterprise technology and the use of video to reduce the cost of knowledge sharing. Kaltura feeds into that," Belsky says.
"Enterprises are using Kaltura for external marketing and e-commerce, and to change the way people work to become more productive by using video in the workplace on a daily basis."
The company's MediaSpace application serves as a Corporate Tube for enterprises, permitting employees to watch videos targeted to their specific information and training needs, view and post comments, and upload user-generated content. An upgrade is pending shortly.
Integrating video into the enterprise is a growing trend. In a recent Forrester study, 25 percent of IT decision makers said they were already adopting enterprise IP/digital video solutions for internal use while another 20 percent stated they were planning to do so.
"The technology that people experience in the workplace should be as engaging and as easy to use as the technology they use in the home, like YouTube and Facebook," Belsky says. "Kaltura's video platform is part of this larger trend. If people spend 12 hours a month watching online video outside work, when they go to work they should be able to use video to communicate, to record and upload meetings, or record from a webcam. Media is an incredibly powerful communications tool that enterprises are recognising they need to bring to the workplace."
There is a similar demand, Belsky says, among universities for video to change the way learning and teaching is conducted.
"Right now, if you want to use video on campus you need to go to one person on site to ask permission to put a file on a server," says Belsky. "We believe that any teacher and any student should be able to upload video and assignments or lectures, and that video should be integrated into the native software environment [such as SharePoint, Blackboard, Moodle, Sakai, or Drupal].
"What we realise is that while other people have video players and have been more established in the European market, no-one is providing a truly flexible, open solution."
Kaltura's solution is the Campus Tube, part of the Cross Campus Media Suite, designed by Belsky and already deployed at 13 U.S. higher education institutes, including Yale, Stanford, and the State Univesity of New York.
In Europe, the solution is implemented at Durham University, National University of Ireland in Galway, Copenhagen Business School, and the Danish State University.
"Kaltura started exploring the U.K. market a year ago with a few sales consultants. Given the rapid growth and potential we saw, we decided to invest heavily in Europe with a full operational and sales team," Belsky explains.
London was chosen as the new headquarters because "we needed to be in a city connected to all the main industries in which we work, and we needed to be in a city that has the delivery and technical base that we need to expand our community."
Kaltura is also set to release a new suite of end-user analytics tools which Belsky describes as "the most advanced video analytics on the market specifically able to assess productivity and performance."
Belsky has been at Kaltura since 2008 and was previously a founding member of Noank Media. She sits on the board of Public Knowledge, an organisation dedicated to freedom on the internet.
In related news: E-commerce group Groupon is to use Kaltura's enterprise platform to step up the company's training programme, internal collaboration, and communication for 12,000 employees worldwide.
"Kaltura's enterprise video solutions allow us to reduce the cost of training, increase workforce productivity, and engage employees both on a professional and social level," says Alan McIntosh, chief information officer for Groupon. "People have widely adopted online video outside the office, and are ready and willing to do so at work. As an international company, the ability to communicate face-to-face is invaluable."

Q: Generate timestamp with milliseconds in Node Can anybody please advise on how to generate the following type of datetime stamp in Node?
2019-02-20T10:05:00.120000Z

In short, date time with milliseconds.
Many thanks.

A: const now = (unit) => {

  const hrTime = process.hrtime();

  switch (unit) {

    case 'milli':
      return hrTime[0] * 1000 + hrTime[1] / 1000000;

    case 'micro':
      return hrTime[0] * 1000000 + hrTime[1] / 1000;

    case 'nano':
      return hrTime[0] * 1000000000 + hrTime[1];

    default:
      return hrTime[0] * 1000000000 + hrTime[1];
  }

};

A: new Date("2019-02-20T10:05:00.120000").getTime()

A: Use Date#toISOString

The toISOString() method returns a string in simplified extended ISO format (ISO 8601), which is always 24 or 27 characters long (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ or ±YYYYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ, respectively). The timezone is always zero UTC offset, as denoted by the suffix "Z".

const res = (new Date()).toISOString();

console.log(res); // i.e 2019-03-05T10:15:15.080Z

A: new Date() already returns an ISO formatted date

console.log(new Date())

A: How to format a JavaScript date
see this link they speak about toLocalDateString() function i think it's what you want.

A: For ISO 8601 like that :

2019-03-05T10:27:43.113Z

console.log((new Date()).toISOString());

Date.prototype.toISOString() mdn

The toISOString() method returns a string in simplified extended ISO format (ISO 8601), which is always 24 or 27 characters long (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ or ±YYYYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ, respectively). The timezone is always zero UTC offset, as denoted by the suffix "Z".

Also you can do :
if (!Date.prototype.toISOString) {
  (function() {

    function pad(number) {
      if (number < 10) {
        return '0' + number;
      }
      return number;
    }

    Date.prototype.toISOString = function() {
      return this.getUTCFullYear() +
        '-' + pad(this.getUTCMonth() + 1) +
        '-' + pad(this.getUTCDate()) +
        'T' + pad(this.getUTCHours()) +
        ':' + pad(this.getUTCMinutes()) +
        ':' + pad(this.getUTCSeconds()) +
        '.' + (this.getUTCMilliseconds() / 1000).toFixed(3).slice(2, 5) +
        'Z';
    };

  }());
}

"Love in the Open Air"
While on a break between Revolver and Sgt. Pepper's in late 1966, and with touring now out of the question and John Lennon off making the film How I Won the War, Paul McCartney tried his hand at a film score -- with a lot of help from Beatles arranger/producer George Martin. The rather pleasing result is one of the most elusive souvenirs of the Beatles' high tide in the '60s, long out of print, and commanding sky-high prices on the collectors' circuit. Only 24 minutes in length, The Family Way is a collection of film cues based on a single McCartney tune, "Love in the Open Air," a plaintive melody reminiscent in some ways of "Here, There and Everywhere." (McCartney has since said that Johnny Mercer was planning to write lyrics for the song, but McCartney passed on it because at the time; he had never heard of Mercer.) (source)
with "then-fashionable Tijuana Brass-style horns"
A United Artists single issued under the name of the George Martin Orchestra in 1967 offers a completely different, rock-edged treatment of "Love in the Open Air" -- even including some then-fashionable Tijuana Brass-style horns. (source)
High def. Trek trailer
I just don't know about this "new" Star Trek coming out in May. I really want to like it. God knows I want to like it. I want to get in to it. But the whole Star Wars prequels experience left me a bit jaded and cynical about this type of thing. Sure, it looks really slick, just like the Star Wars prequels did/do. I'd guess that Industrial Light & Magic did the effects. But it still feels weird with the younger cast and all. I think the Kirk and Spock fight looks stupid, and the "sexualizing" of Uhura is irksome. The whole thing makes me feel strangely unfaithful to the original show(!). In this new trailer, the Eric Bana/Romulan character at the end seems too much like Darth Maul in the Episode I teaser, where he says: "At last we will present ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge," or whatever it is that character said. In fact, the whole preview feels way too Star Wars prequel-ly. You heard me - prequel-ly.
That logo, that insignia
If the makers of this "re-imagining" of Star Trek only knew what happens to me every single time I've watched this preview, and that insignia and logo (the ones I spent hours and hours and hours drawing and redrawing in Big Chief pads, along with communicators, phasers, tricorders, and of course, the Enterprise, when I was roughly ages 3-12 in the early to mid-70s) appear on screen to the accompaniment of three familiar notes from the theme played on shimmering xylophone...if they only knew what happens to me (like Pavlov's dog, without the drool), they'd make damn sure the movie is worth a flip. I think Simon Pegg might actually work as an alternative to James Doohan. Notice I said "alternative." This is coming from a guy (me) who was a member of the Jimmy Doohan Fan Club when I was eleven years old. Doohan could never be replaced, nor could any of the original cast members, as far as I'm concerned. I bet that "Buckle up" line from Kirk comes at the very end of the film (notice how he's finally dressed in the original, faded-orange uniform), so as to guarantee interest in a sequel, I can't help but feel a little excited when he says it.
EBiN c. 1977
Anyway, that's my two cents. Ain't It Cool News has three high resolution versions of the preview with an added surprise (potential spoiler alert), but for this post, here is the version you've no doubt already seen, so nanoo, nanoo:
Gulf Coast Deco
Inspired, as well as educated, by the fantastic Houston Deco website and armed with a Garmin, I have been able to locate the following examples of vintage, Art Deco architecture in Houston (and I hope to get more):
Humble Oil Filling Station No. 157, built in 1930
This is one of two Art Deco, Humble filling stations left in the city of Houston to date from the 1930s. The architect, John F. Staub, designed the prototype for all new Humble Oil stations in 1929. I'm always amazed this kind of thing is still around.
Originally a place called Albritton's Eats, this is from 1945, and the streamlined detailing is still intact:
Even with a GPS, this next place was tricky to find. I'd given up on it after the GPS sent me in a bizarre circular pattern, which I repeated, just for good measure. But I caught it peripherally as I drove past it and nearly slammed on my brakes.
Rettig's Heap-o-Cream, built in 1947
Rettig's was a local ice cream manufacturer. The company operated Heap-o-Cream confectioneries throughout Houston, including one in a Moderne building on Yale Street. Aside from having had its front windows and doors boarded, the Wayside Drive location remains largely unaltered.
I came across this Texaco by accident, and took both of these from my car:
Built in 1935, this endangered structure was the Sterling Laundry and Cleaning Co. Most people would easily recognize this as being "Art Deco." What a thrill it's still there!

"Is That You, Mrs. Peel?"
Johnny Dankworth composed The Avengers' original theme tune, a syncopated jazz number, which was reworked for the third series. When Diana Rigg joined the series, the new title sequence was accompanied by a fresh theme by Laurie Johnson, a catchy, brassy tune designed to promote the "English eccentricity" of the show. Johnson also provided incidental music, and subsequently collaborated with Clemens on other projects, including the theme for the later New Avengers revival.

In '56 with Hitchcock on the set of The Man Who Knew too Much....sort of
Bernard Hermann was born in New York City on June 29, 1911. He won an Academy Award for The Devil and Daniel Webster (1941). He is particularly known for collaborations with Alfred Hitchcock. He did the music on Orson Welles' infamous 1938 The War of the Worlds radio broadcast, composed the scores for several fantasy films by Ray Harryhausen, and many TV programs.
This article has a great analysis of what makes Herrmann's music tick:
On the Citizen Kane set with Orson Welles
Essentially Herrmann regarded himself as a Romantic composer, stylistically speaking. His music was indeed emotional, moody, with great depth of feeling. Herrmann stated, "As a composer I might class myself as a Neo-Romantic, inasmuch as I have always regarded music as a highly personal and emotional form of expression. I like to write music which takes its inspiration from poetry, art and nature. I do not care for purely decorative music. Although I am in sympathy with modern idioms, I abhor music which attempts nothing more than the illustration of a stylistic fad. And in using modern techniques, I have tried at all times to subjugate them to a larger idea or a grander human feeling."
The Romantic period of music came to full fruition in the 19th century, and it is interesting to note what Herrmann wrote to his wife on November 1947: "My feelings and yearnings are those of a composer of the 19th century. I am completely out of step with the present."
Playing himself in The Man Who Knew Too Much
While Herrmann's music — his entire oeuvre — cannot be easily pigeon-holed, almost all of his works showed a natural Dramatist (a terrific aptitude for drama, whether musically or in his personal life!) that flowed along a romantic channel of expression. One suggestion is to say that he was a 20th Century American Modernist Romantic. He tended to excel in music written not so much in a co-called abstract construct (concert works, say, or symphony) but in response to an external stimulus or medium such as the Big Screen (feature film), the Small Screen (television), radio plays, and the opera (Wuthering Heights). His dramatic instincts really shined in these Show Business mediums.
The Trouble with Harry (1955)
I think the prelude to Vertigo (1958) is his most powerful and dramatic. At first, it's as if there is no melody (trying to hum it is about as difficult as humming The Beach Boy's "Let's Go Away for a While" from Pet Sounds). But after repeated listening, it gives me chills. The melody (rolling in around :54) is like waves crashing slowly onto a beach:
Of course, it doesn't hurt to have it perfectly synced with one of the best opening credit sequences done by Saul Bass. And to say it's one of his best is saying quite a lot.
North by Northwest (1959)
Psycho (1960). Here is a version NBC/Universal hasn't removed.
Herrmann's Cape Fear (1962) score filtered through Elmer Bernstein for the 1991 remake
His last movie soundtrack was for Taxi Driver (1976). How could that film have not become a classic with a Bernard Hermann score??

"(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear"
"(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear" was a US number-one hit for Elvis during the summer of 1957, and his third of the four that he would have that year. The lyrics were by Kal Mann with Juliard-trained pianist Bernie Lowe doing the music. It was part of the soundtrack to Loving You. Here is Elvis, looking too cool (for school), in the very same film:
Gotta love that technicolor.

"...This Town..."
Spike is the album Elvis Costello released in 1989, his first for the Warner Brothers label.
A bit from the Rolling Stone review:
Now that New Wave is nostalgia and Elvis Costello has become respectable enough to serve as Paul McCartney's songwriting partner, you might assume that Elvis isn't angry anymore. But that would be a not-so-brilliant mistake. Spike – Costello's first new album after an uncharacteristically long two-year layoff – is a far-flung sampler of his musical genius, a fascinating effort informed by its creator's justified frustration that his genius is not more widely recognized.
"You're nobody 'til everybody in this town thinks you're a bastard," Elvis sings in the chorus of Spike's opening number, "... This Town ..." Even the album's surreal, garish cover – with Costello as a sinister-looking clown, labeled as "The Beloved Entertainer" – seems to be Costello's defensive way of mocking the very concept of being a popular entertainer.
...as Spike makes clear, Costello remains an astonishing talent. While less cohesive than his two 1986 albums – the justly lauded King of America and the underappreciated Blood & Chocolate – Spike is more ambitious.
The BBC aired a program back in '89 devoted to Spike. You can see that here.

"The Times They Are A-Changin'"
"The Times They Are A-Changin'" is a song written by Bob Dylan and released on his 1964 album of the same name. In 2004, this song was #59 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time."
Dylan's friend, Tony Glover, recalls visiting Dylan's apartment in September 1963, where he saw a number of song manuscripts and poems lying on a table. "The Times They Are-a Changin'" had yet to be recorded, but Glover saw its early manuscript. After reading the words "come senators, congressmen, please heed the call," Glover reportedly asked Dylan: "What is this shit, man?", to which Dylan responded, "Well, you know, it seems to be what the people like to hear."
A protest song, it is often viewed as a reflection of the generation gap and of the political divide marking American culture in the 1960s. Dylan, however, disputed this interpretation in 1964, saying "Those were the only words I could find to separate aliveness from deadness. It had nothing to do with age." A year later, Dylan would say: "I can't really say that adults don't understand young people any more than you can say big fishes don't understand little fishes. I didn't mean ['The Times They Are a-Changin'] as a statement... It's a feeling."
Here's a young Dylan, with what appears to be his freight train ridin', disgruntled, Kerouacian/Steinbeckian hobo pals, on a CBC TV show called Quest, Feb 1, 1964:
The Byrds, who recorded a version on their Turn! Turn! Turn! (1965) album, performed it on an October 1965 episode of Hullabaloo (introduced by Michael Landon):

My grandparents frequently took my sister, cousins, and me to visit a store when we were little called "Fink's," which was still set up like an old time general store. I seem to remember it had wooden floors. They had great toys - huge bins of them. It was also in one of these buildings on McCarty Ave., but I forget which.

Hope you all are doing well and are enjoying the confusing yet pleasant weather!
Fall is the only time of the year where I might make the exception of wearing an all black outfit! I am not the biggest fan of all black outfits, I am somebody who loves colour and if you have been reading my posts for a while, you might already know it!
But recently I got this dress from Fashion Subway and I just knew I had to do an all black outfit with it.
This is such an easy dress and I love the fact that it would make an amazing summer outfit as well. I just love pieces that can be worn in all seasons!
The dress is super easy to throw on. You just have to tie a knot at the back of your neck and you're good to go! I don't think it can get any simpler than that, right?
The dress has a really nice floral print all over. Now I know you might think that floral print is for spring but this print is so different and unique that I would prefer wearing it during the fall rather than the spring!
The dress is completely backless. I have faced this problem with backless dresses before that you have to keep pulling them up every five minuets but thats not the case with this one! This dress fits like a dream! And the best part is that its super affordable. The dress retails for INR 650 only! And I genuinely don't think you can get this quality and design at these prices, anywhere else.
The weather is a little cold now so I had to wear a leather jacket with the dress and also wore my black lace boots.
The entire outfit is super comfortable and very trendy as well.


Organization is a pure necessity when dealing with inventory and daily business routines. Needless to say, it is important to have an efficient system in place for the stocking and restocking of inventory. Hardware Express has developed the Custom Catalog specifically for the purpose of helping the organization of your business and eliminating those countless hours spent looking for items your employees may have misplaced or simply forgotten to replenish.


The former CIA director was voted in by one of the slimmest margins for the job in recent history.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate has narrowly confirmed Mike Pompeo to be secretary of state.
The outgoing CIA director secured support from 57 senators, with 42 voting no and one senator absent. It's one of the slimmest margins for the job in recent history. Every past nominee since at least the Carter administration has received 85 or more yes votes, with the exception of Trump's first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson. He got 56 yes votes.
Pompeo has been deeply engaged in the administration's efforts on North Korea and recently traveled to Pyongyang.
