Snow Burial announce acoustic live stream to help food bank
Posted by Morgan Y Evans - Walking Bombs on Monday, March 23, 2020 at 9:23 AM (PST)
This Covid-19 challenge has made a of musicians have to get creative after tours were shut down for safety (my heart goes out to Chuck Billy of Testament and others who have contracted the virus). Darsombra are touring rooms of their home and undisclosed locations in Maryland via live stream, for example. My girlfriend Globelamp has been a live streamer for years playing psych folk and engaging with her fans, so it has been interesting to see the connective impact that can have in building a micro community. Obviously everyone has IG and Facebook live now or sometimes uses YouTube to stream, but not everyone uses it for live performance as opposed to general pseudo reality tv style posts of themselves rambling, hahaha.
Snow Burial, one of the coolest (snow pun painfully accidental) bands out there at present, are doing their part to take this moment to stream for local charity. The Prosthetic Records signees announced that they will be live streaming an acoustic performance this week, via the Prosthetic Records YouTube channel. The stream will take place on Thursday, 26 March at 8 EDT/ 7 CDT/ 5 PDT. The band will be accepting donations throughout the performance, and will be sending all money raised to The Greater Chicago Food Depository.
SNOW BURIAL's Ben Bowman comments:
"Like pretty much everyone involved in the music industry we have shifted rapidly from being extremely bummed about cancelling our tour to wondering what we could do to help. Doing a livestream and donating all the proceeds to a local food bank seems like one of the best ways that we can do that. Well, Brandon is actually providing the true best help – he's a physician's assistant, treating patients through this pandemic. I can just play guitar and sing a bit.
"It's not the same as touring (at all) but I am very excited to have an excuse to experiment with our songs and play for folks over the internet. I'll be playing acoustic-ish versions of each song on Ostrava (I'm physically incapable of not using a delay pedal) with some commentary on the songs and the chance to chat with everyone live. I'm stoked to take a new approach on the tunes, and, frankly, to have something to look forward to. All of Illinois is under a shelter-at-home order and it's easy to have a very hard time through this. Having some fun in a way that can help those in real need is exciting."

Technical death metal pioneers DEEDS OF FLESH return after a seven year hiatus with their 9th studio album Nucleus, set for release via Unique Leader Records on 11th December 2020 (Vinyl release 15th January 2021). The band's first release since the tragic passing of guitarist / vocalist and Unique Leader founder Erik Lindmark, who lost a battle with sclerosis in 2018, Nucleus features guest performances some of the biggest names in extreme metal to celebrate his life and contribution to metal. Vocalist Jacoby Kingston is joined by members of Pathology, Gorguts, Dying Fetus, Submerged, Decrepit Birth and more. With a mix of the old and new style of DEEDS OF FLESH writing, this album is the completion of a story that began with Of What's to Come (2008) and ran through Portals to Canaan (2013). The music was written by Erik Lindmark (RIP), Craig Peters, Ivan Munguia and Darren Cesca, and had been recorded and partially mixed for almost four years. When Erik Lindmark passed in 2018, vocalist Jacoby Kingston came out of retirement to help finish the album. Alongside long-time drummer Mike Hamilton, they finished the story arc, wrote the lyrics and made the vocal arrangements for Nucleus.

CODE 911
Judge denies request to revisit plea
Andrew Binion
PORT ORCHARD — After pleading guilty last year to vehicular assault, expecting to serve two years in prison and instead receiving an eight-year sentence once she went before a judge, a woman had a request to withdraw her guilty plea turned down last week.
Denise Pangelinan, 40, was charged with vehicular assault for striking Clancy O'Connor, who was riding his motorcycle home from work Nov. 19, 2015, in Bremerton.
Prosecutors alleged Pangelinan had meth and alcohol in her system when she struck O'Connor while driving on Charleston Beach Road. O'Connor lost a leg and his vision. Prosecutors added an aggravator to the charge to account for the severity of the injuries.
With the aggravator in place at the time Pangelinan pleaded guilty, Kitsap Superior Court Judge Kevin Hull was not bound by the sentencing range, which had a maximum of nine months. Hull told Pangelinan's attorney Friday that he was not bound by the two-year sentence agreed upon by the attorneys.
"Unfortunately for the defendant, I saw it differently than the parties did," Hull told Michael Austin Stewart, saying that he did not believe a two-year sentence was sufficient given the severity of O'Connor's injuries.
Before handing down the sentence, Hull asked Pangelinan if she understood that he was not bound by the recommended sentence, and Pangelinan answered that she understood, according to court documents.
Stewart argued that Pangelinan's previous attorney, Craig Kibbe, did not properly explain the details of the case and the plea — something that Kibbe disputed in court documents. Stewart added that English is Pangelinan's second language and that she had never been charged with a felony before, which resulted in her failing to fully grasp the circumstances.
Additionally, Stewart argued that Hull's decision to disregard the recommended sentence and instead sentence Pangelinan to eight years rather than two was informed by the statements O'Connor and his loved ones gave at sentencing.
Stewart argued this information was not in the court documents Pangelinan agreed to as the basis of her guilty plea, and her attorney could not cross-examine O'Connor.
Hull said, short of death, that there likely was no greater injury than losing one's sight and that the severity of the injuries was why he exceeded the agreed sentence.
"It was the injury, the damage that was done," Hull said. Despite the severity of the injuries, Hull said Pangelinan also was a victim of "bad luck."
Stewart said Pangelinan would appeal.
O'Connor attended the hearing and afterward said that he agreed with the eight-year sentence and that he would follow the case.
"It will run its way through the court system, and we will deal with it as it comes," he said.
O'Connor said that in addition to losing his ability to walk at will, the loss of his vision means he cannot enjoy simple things, such as watching a Seattle Seahawks game, along with the important things in life, such as seeing his family.
"If I had one wish, that would be it," O'Connor said of regaining his vision.
It was an unusual resolution to a case, as judges typically follow recommendations, or else do not venture far from the agreed sentences.
At the hearing Friday, Hull acknowledged that if judges regularly disregarded recommendations there would be "chaos."
Hull said he could count on two hands when he hasn't followed a recommendation from attorneys and said typically he goes below the recommended sentence.
"When I don't follow a plea agreement, I like to think I have a pretty good reason for it," Hull said. "It doesn't happen very often."

In 1917, just one year after Congress created the National Park Service, the Ohio General Assembly passed legislation that allowed for the formation of metropolitan park districts. The Akron Metropolitan Park District (now Summit Metro Parks) was established December 31, 1921.
The early Board of Park Commissioners – which included Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company founder Frank A. Seiberling – hired famed landscape architects the Olmsted brothers: John Charles and Frederick Law, Jr. Their father, Frederick Law Olmsted, had designed major parks across the country, including New York's Central Park and Boston Common.
In June of 1925, Seiberling accepted the first gift of land to the park system, a small, triangular plot at the beginning of the Old Portage Trail at the intersection of North Portage Path and Merriman Road. The district aptly named the plot Courtney Park for donor Joseph Courtney of the Courtney Dairy Company. Soon after, during Akron's Centennial celebration, the spot was marked with a bronze plaque and boulder, which still sits at the intersection.
From this modest start, the park district's holdings grew rapidly throughout the late 1920s and '30s, thanks to the efforts of the board and the leadership of the park district's first director-secretary, Harold S. Wagner.
Wagner, a native of Boston who had previously worked with the Olmsted brothers, was appointed to his post in 1926 and remained there until 1958. He had relocated to Akron around 1917 while working for influential American landscape designer Warren H. Manning on Seiberling's Fairlawn development. (Manning had previously designed Seiberling's estate, Stan Hywet.) When his work on Fairlawn was complete, Wagner stayed in Akron and took his passion for parks to City Hall, becoming first a consultant to city administrators and later the municipal parks superintendent. Thus, he was a natural choice for the Akron Metropolitan Park District.
The stock market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression that followed were a time of hardship for many Americans, but Wagner, in his first five years at the helm, managed to build the park district to about 1,600 acres. Early holdings included the Furnace Run, Sand Run, Gorge and Goodyear Heights reservations.
During the Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal proved beneficial to both the residents and the parks of Summit County. Following the creation of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), many residents went to work on public projects, and many of them were in the parks. The influx of labor and resources allowed the Akron Metropolitan Park District to complete a variety of projects including the Octagon Shelter, bathhouse and lake at Virginia Kendall Park; building a bridge at Mingo Camp and extending Sand Run Parkway in Sand Run Reservation; planting more than 350,000 seedlings at Furnace Run's Everett Nursery; and building a parking area and entrance building at Goodyear Heights Reservation.
The district added Firestone Reservation in 1941, thanks to the efforts of board member Henry Metzger, who helped persuade Firestone Tire & Rubber Company to donate land and money for the project. Other additions during this time included the victory gardens at Goodyear Heights and Firestone reservations, both sponsored by the respective rubber companies. One facility that was heavily used during the war years was Virginia Kendall's Happy Days Camp. Girl Scouts used the site during the week, and on weekends the Goodyear Aircraft Corporation used it as a day camp for the children of its employees.
With the war over in 1945, both the economy and people's spirits began to rise. The park district passed a levy and set about making improvements and restoring services that had been curtailed during the war. The decade ended with another change for the district, when the board decided to change the designation of its park areas from "reservations" to "metropolitan parks," or Metro Parks.
The 1950s brought new challenges for the Akron Metropolitan Park District. While the district suffered the failure of three levies during this time, the problems extended beyond the financial. The City of Akron's sewer trunk line through Sand Run Metropolitan Park developed leaks and caused pollution. The construction of the turnpike north of the Brushwood Area of Furnace Run and the relocation of State Route 21 meant the loss of land and led to soil erosion and a buildup of sediment in the lake. In addition, the Tuscarawas Shelter at Firestone Metropolitan Park experienced flooding due to the construction of a new dam on the Tuscarawas River. Some property was acquired during the 1950s, including land at the north end of North Hawkins Avenue and lots adjacent to Goodyear Heights Metropolitan Park.
The decade ended with the retirement of Harold S. Wagner as Director-Secretary on April 30, 1958. At that time, the parks comprised 3,760 acres of land and were being used by more than 800,000 people per year, according to an Akron Beacon Journal story from January 10, 1960. Among the many signs of Wagner's legacy is Furnace Run Metro Park's H.S. Wagner Daffodil Trail, named for him because he and his wife originally owned the property and planted the first bulbs there in the 1930s. Today, an estimated 40,000 daffodils grow along the 0.6-mile trail.
Following Wagner's retirement in 1958, Forrest B. Coup became director-secretary. Coup had previously worked as a CCC foreman at Virginia Kendall and had served as the park district's first field maintenance supervisor since 1935. Acquisitions during his tenure included the purchase of the old county hospital property for the development of the Treaty Line Area in Sand Run and land along the Ohio & Erie Canal that was transferred from the State of Ohio; it comprises the current Deep Lock Quarry Metro Park. Coup retired as director-secretary in 1963 and was followed briefly by Dr. Arthur T. Wilcox, who served until 1964. Hampton Hills Metro Park and F.A. Seiberling Nature Realm were added during his time, but perhaps his greatest achievement was the creation of the Fall Hiking Spree, which today is one of the longest-running and most popular events of its kind in the nation.
Between 1998 and 2015, Keith D. Shy served as director-secretary. Additions during his tenure include the Overlook in Cascade Valley, Liberty Park in Twinsburg, Springfield Bog Metro Park in Springfield Township and the Tallmadge Meadows Area in Munroe Falls. In 2007, the Portage Trail Group of the Sierra Club presented him with the John Seiberling Environmental Achievement Award.
Today, under the leadership of Executive Director Lisa King, the park district manages 14,300 acres, including 16 developed parks, several conservation areas and more than 125 miles of trails, with 22.4 miles of the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail. Annual attendance averages 5 million visits.

Q: Which method should be used to update a document in mongodb using mongoose? I have two methods that updates the LIKES array in my post schema by inserting the user object in it. Both methods word fine but I want to know which approach is better and why. Also I am using mongoose in my application.
The LIKES keypair in my post schema:
likes:[{
    user:{
        type: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
        refPath:'onModel'
}
}]

First Approach (By using $push operator)
Post.update({
    _id: req.params.postid,
    'likes.user': {
        $ne:
            authorizedData.jwt_payload.patient._id
    }
},
    { $push: { likes: { user: authorizedData.jwt_payload.patient._id } } })
    .then(post => res.json(post))
    .catch(err => res.json(err))

Second approach (By using mongoose save method)
Post.findById(req.params.postid)
    .then(post => {
      if (
        post.likes.filter(like => like.user.toString() === authorizedData.jwt_payload.patient._id)
          .length > 0
      ) {
        return res
          .status(400)
          .json({ alreadyliked: 'User already liked this post' });
      }

      // Add user id to likes array
      post.likes.unshift({ user: authorizedData.jwt_payload.patient._id });

      post.save().then(post => res.json(post));
    })
    .catch(err => res.status(404).json({ postnotfound: 'No post found' }));

A: Go for the first approach By using $push operator, this is more efficient because you're letting the database do all the work & you don't have to load a Post into memory.

One Democratic Senator Sees His Party's Spending Plans Are Absurd
by Mitch Kokai
Senior Political Analyst, John Locke Foundation
Charles Cooke of National Review Online explores recent statements from West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin.
Per Axios, Joe Manchin may be closer to realizing that the Democrats' spending plans are ridiculous than his party had realized heretofore:
"Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is privately saying he thinks Congress should take a 'strategic pause' until 2022 before voting on President Biden's $3.5 trillion social-spending package, people familiar with the matter tell Axios." …
… I wrote recently that to take Manchin at his word is to conclude that he has to oppose most of the proposed plan. The United States just spent $6 trillion fighting COVID, and it's horribly in debt. The deficit this year will be $3.2 trillion, and next year, and for every year thereafter, it will be $1.1 trillion. It would be an act of vandalism to make this worse, and, at some level at least, Manchin seems to know this.
Axios notes that "Manchin's new timeline — if he insists on it — would disrupt the plans by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to vote on the budget reconciliation package this month." Which is true, but which shouldn't matter in the slightest to anyone outside of Washington, D.C. Neither of these bills are necessary, and the timetables for both are a contrivance. So Nancy Pelosi is vexed for a while? Who cares?
Presumably not Joe Manchin, whose state voted for Donald Trump in 2020 by around 40 points, and who is considerably less popular there than the Republicans are.
In response to this news, we will get a fresh round of calls to "primary him!" and "pressure him!" and "tell him what to do!" But they will all be guff. Joe Manchin hasn't lost an election since 1996. He knows what he's doing. One can only hope that he'll now have the courage to say in public what he's apparently started to say behind closed doors.

Preferred To Despair: Hope!
Koushik Das	 April 14, 2020	 2 Comments
Human beings are members of a whole,
in creation of one essence and soul.
If one member is afflicted with pain,
other members' uneasy will remain.
If you have no sympathy for human pain,
the name of human you cannot retain.
– Sa'adi's Bani Adam
What can one do, apart from nurturing hope, during the time of lockdown? Certainly, we will not expect that destiny will lead us to a safe haven. Instead, we should remain hopeful that we will, somehow, fight it out!
Akira Kurosawa had directed a film, named 'Dersu Uzala', in 1975 on the basis of a real-life story narrated by Russian explorer Vladimir Klavdiyevich Arsenyev way back in 1923. Arsenyev was a member of a group that was tasked with collecting information about different places in Siberia, for future urbanisation. In Siberia, the Russian explorer met Dersu, an old man who used to stay alone. The man had saved Arsenyev when the latter was about to fall in a hole. He also taught the explorer how to make shelter with plants, as well to survive in below freezing temperatures…
Dersu Uzala
It was, actually, a struggle for survival of an unarmed man against the ruthless harsh nature. For Dersu, it was important to protect oneself, without destroying the nature! Dersu Uzala is all about a story of a friendship between two persons belonging to different classes and age groups.
The Corona pandemic has, once again, made us helpless in this beautiful world by creating a no man's land in the society. In fact, each and every person is a story, and all these stories create a human chain. For instance, people in Cuba started growing vegetable at balconies during the Siege of Havana in March-August 1762. Similar things happened in Vietnam. Initially, the Vietnamese people did not want to get involved in a war against the US. According to a senior professor in Hanoi, the US had already invented small drones that could target the human beings. To protect themselves from those drones, people used to hang waste materials in big trees. It was the tactic adopted by the weaker people during the war against a powerful enemy. The US Forces had also destroyed crops by spraying Agent Orange from the sky… still, they failed to demoralise the Vietnamese. There are so many stories that highlight the victory of Humanity in different parts of the globe.
In the COVID 19-affected world, people in many countries are experiencing lockdown and social distancing! During this period, those stories could boost their morale, and help them overcome the crisis. Maybe, they will find another Dersu who will teach them how to protect themselves without disturbing the nature. Human beings have no other option, but to protect themselves, as well as the Mother Nature, in order to enjoy the fruits of civilisation…
