Media Buzzing as Mel Tillis Nears Top of Nation'sBillboard Comedy ChartAlbum, You Ain't Gonna Believe This..., Barrels in at #3; Proves Grammy Potential
Nashville, Tenn (November 23, 2010) – During the 1960s and 70s, landing a Top 10 hit was nothing out of the ordinary for Country Music Hall of Famer, Mel Tillis. Throughout his solid career, the stuttering legend banked 34 Top 10 hits, 9 of which went to #1. In 1984, Tillis saw his last major hit, when his "New Patches" landed at #10 on the U.S. Country Billboard chart.
Fast-forward to November 2010, 26 years after his last chart-topper. Tillis is back in the national spotlight and sits high atop Billboard at #3, but not for country music… for comedy.
Since releasing his debut comedy album, You Ain't Gonna Believe This… (Show Dog – Universal Music), last September, Tillis has continued his trek up the chart, giving some of America's funniest comics a run for their money.
Though Tillis is no stranger to humor, (he won Nashvill…

Raymond Byrom (2 January 1935 – 6 January 2020) was an English professional footballer who played as an outside left in the Football League.

Career
Born in Blackburn, Lancashire, Byrom started his career in the reserve side at hometown club Blackburn Rovers before signing for Football League Third Division North side Accrington Stanley in January 1956. He spent two years at Accrington and was part of the side that gained promotion to the Third Division in 1957, however he only made eleven games in all competitions. In December 1958, he signed for Fourth Division side Bradford (Park Avenue), following manager Walter Galbraith to the West Yorkshire club. He played in seventy league games for Bradford before sustaining a broken leg in a fixture in August 1960, which eventually finished his career.

Personal life
He settled in nearby Oswaldtwistle and following his retirement from professional football, Byrom started working for a motor supplies company in Blackburn before setting up his own business in 1972, Ray's Garage Supplies, with his wife Agnes. His son, Alan, also played for Accrington Stanley in non-league, as did his grandson, Joel, who featured for them in League Two. He died on 6 January 2020 following a short spell in hospital.

U.S. Bankruptcy Court allows J.C. Penney to keep paying staff and vendors
(Reuters) – J.C. Penney Co Inc (JCP.N) said on Saturday a U.S. Bankruptcy Court will allow it to keep paying wages and benefits to workers who will remain on the job after the U.S. department store chain filed for Chapter 11 protection from creditors, and also to pay vendors for goods delivered to its stores.
J.C. Penney, which filed for Chapter 11 protection on Friday, said it received the "first-day" approvals from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas that included access to and use of about $500 million in cash collateral.
The company said it will seek authorization at its second-day hearing to access $900 million in debtor-in-possession financing that it received from its existing first lien lenders, which includes $450 million of new funds.
Lazard Ltd (LAZ.N) is serving as a financial advisor of J.C. Penney, Kirkland & Ellis LLP is serving as legal advisor and AlixPartners LLP is serving as restructuring advisor to the company.
J.C. Penney was the latest among traditional brick-and-mortar retailers to crumble as prolonged store closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic delivered the final blow to troubled businesses.

Wareness: The Masters of Hardware Crowdfunding
March 18, 2014 @ 9:03 am By JD Alois
Wareness.io is a studio division of VSC, a global PR firm based in San Francisco. Wareness came about as a type of epiphany on the power of crowdfunding in creating a successful hardware product.
Founded by Vijay Chattha, VSC (or Visibility, Strategy, Creativity) is one of the leading PR firms in the San Francisco Bay area and NYC today. The group has a passion for marketing, and their mission is to direct clients to make bold and
disruptive PR moves that benefit their business.
With the advent of crowdfunding, VSC happened to pick up a new client that became one of the most successful pretail crowdfunding campaigns ever: The Tile finder device.
Tile was created by Nick Evans and co-founder Mike Farley.
Evans had previous experience with two incredibly successful crowdfunding campaigns, the Pebble Smartwatch and Lockitron. The latter created their own crowdfunding platform which became Selfstarter (now open sourced). When Evans launched Tile he understood the mechanics of crowdfunding and appreciated the need for an effective PR campaign. Tile signed up with VSC and the campaign became a mega-hit "closing" at over $2.6 million after having skipped over the big platforms to become the largest self-crowdfunding campaign at that time.
Tile. Coin. Moov.
The Tile project was followed up with another big self-crowdfunding hit. COIN – the one card to replace them all – hit their $50,000 goal in just 40 minutes from launch. The device captured wide media attention as their presales rocketed. As of today Moov has partnered with Wareness and is running a pretail campaign. Started by an ex-Apple engineer, Moov has claimed the title of the most successful crowdfunding campaign for a wearable fitness device – ever.
Both Tile and COIN went on to raise additional rounds of funding from venture capitalists but one can only guess the difference in valuation before the crowdfunding campaign and then immediately after. With both Tile and COIN, Vijay and his team saw a unique product for a market not yet served. These devices each needed a messaging strategy that was highly effective – and their PR team delivered it.
Wareness was created to capitalize on this unique and compelling opportunity. Invest in hardware startups prior to crowdfunding. Guarantee crowdfunding success by applying the Wareness tactics and see a valuation leap in months. Today Wareness is not just promoting products – they are becoming investors and committed stakeholders in these companies. While every deal is different, contingent upon the stage of the company, participation
ranges from straight equity, equity grants, retainers and incentive based milestones. What Wareness almost guarantees in return – is success.
Wareness now has available $6 million in seed capital for select startups. They will invest in increments from $25,000 up to $150,000. The capital is being sourced from VSC but they are also augmenting with funds from their network of angels and institutional investment partners. Their internal fund is now at a point where they are considering scaling with outside investment partners to allow others to benefit from a turbo charged valuation boost after a successful pretail crowdfunding campaign. Everything is direct to consumer forgoing any Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaigns.
Pedigree, Product & Capital
Asked how he knows when a product is a fit? Vijay responds that,
"…if in 30 seconds it creates a visceral, emotional connection.. We try to not only be ourselves as consumers but also to think about the target they are going after, talk to friends and family and ask would you buy this? .. if it is not cool in the first 30 seconds or takes longer to explain it then we probably do not want to take it on because that is how consumer marketing works."
Pedigree matters to Wareness "big time". They like to work with people who have already done interesting things who already have interesting investors.
Vijay recognizes that great products without enough capital are not moving at the pace they need to move in order to be competitive. If the Wareness team believes the product is going to be a home run then, they will put their own capital to work to create an environment for success.
Think about it. There is a lot of money chasing good deals today. Wareness now has created an investment vehicle that steps immediately to the front of the line. Sure maybe some seed stage funding is in the bank but the product is still not in production. Pretail proves market demand and correspondingly company valuations.
" We have created something that has never been done before… A real platform to create amazing products and connect with consumers directly", says Vijay.
"Our team gets really excited about evolving their expertise as well and understanding businesses from the inside out. The more campaigns we do the more skills we build. There is nobody else that has all of these skills in one place."
From PR Firm to Investment Partner
Vijay sees some traditional firms trying to understand the process but as of yet he believes there are no comparable firms doing what Wareness is doing today.
"We see some crowdfunding centric PR but frankly this is mostly tactical and just PR really. I do not think the people we work with have seen anything like our hybrid approach. Traditional firms are just so busy trying to build their own businesses they really do not understand connected devices. To them it is just a category. We see it as something entirely different. Something that requires a whole different skill set and talent within your firm."
"Most of the companies that are coming to us already know that we are good at building direct to consumer campaigns."
When asked if they are considering building their own crowdfunding portal, Vijay declines as he sees self-crowdfunding software as easily available and more powerful for his clients. Wareness wants to partner with companies that want to own their own customers and create their own communities. Wareness wants to empower entrepreneurs and to help them create robust ecosystems that endure once the pretail campaign is completed.
As of yet they are not looking at providing support for equity crowdfunding campaigns but you never know as investment crowdfunding grows. What they do know: the future is in direct to consumer crowdfunding and Wareness is there first.

The first Propsero Colonna was born in 1452 in Civita Lavinia, Italy and died in Milan in 1523, his life spanning parts of the 15th and 16th Centuries and the Renaissance. picplzthumbs The family palace is still standing and named the Palace or Palazzo Colonna , housing a well appointed art gallery. Great lens. Knowing how to write a great newspaper article is important not just for the writers of the articles but for the readers as well so they can spot a poorly written article from a mile away and not waste their time. 1550-1599—A pen, wash, and ink drawing, now held in Szépmüvészeti Múzeum, Budapest (Museum inv. No. 2421), features a group of 7 angel musicians, including one playing trombone (see below image; public domain).
Out of the top 10 most visited museums and galleries in the world, four are in London. Most popular of those is the British Museum which had nearly 6 million visitors. Close behind comes the Tate Modern on the south bank of the Thames. picplzthumbs The other two world-beating attractions are the National Gallery and the Natural History museum. Entry to all four is free. lareuski— I am well pleased that you loved my article on the Men of Fox News! I think you are right that a part two might be required. As global population increases, more people are taking to the air and space in order to find new places to live and resources to sustain life on Earth. A Mars colony full of pioneers is now legendary. It shouldn't come as a surprise that this is one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century. While originally recorded and released in 1965, its popularity with modern audiences is due to its inclusion in the 1990 hit movie Ghost. Old fashioned and traditional, yet sincere and timeless.
Following the exodus God gave the Jews a great deal of specifics about how they should worship him. It is mostly about offering and sacrifice, not much about music. We do know that David played the lyre, sang songs and wrote most of the Psalms. • Fourth, we have accepted violence as normal. Video and computer games and the media are filled with simulated violence. Naisbitt describes The Military-Nintendo Complex," in which the military and toy industries have cross-fertilized each other, sharing ideas and technologies, over the last few decades. Inspired by battle simulations developed in the military, electronic and video games are hardwiring" young people for shooting at humans. In this case, in particular, technology is not neutral — it teaches.

Agnolo di Cosimo, or Angelo Bronzino, or Bronzino II, one of the most respected Italian painters of the sixteenth century, was born on November 17, 1503, in Florence, Italy. Although Pablo Picasso might have protested the title of "Sociopolitical Artist", he has non-the-less become one of the first examples of this expressive devise to come to mind. Thinking back to one of his first paintings, of a child kneeling at a communion rail, the author suspects most all of his works could be placed under the heading of sociopolitical in that religious quests, emotions, family dynamics, political upheaval, social changes, female issues, and personal strife are all major themes in the works of Picasso. The life of the ordinary man on the street is the subject of these ten great songs, which depict it in a way a hundred volumes of research may not be able to do ! Great music too. Congratulations. This is a very interesting hub and history on The Hellfire Club. I think this is a very amazing and creepy place to visit. Great photos. Great hub.
I love that song Pocketful of Sunshine and am glad you include it here 🙂 A sunshiny mood is great to have and I think it spreads joy to people around us. Thanks for the uplifting hub and, hey, there is blue sky today here on Canada's west coast! picplzthumbs Vote up, beautiful, and awesome. Due to the need for art that prints at multiple sizes and responsive web designs adapting to varying screen sizes, vector files are a necessity of modern design. They create clean, scaleable images that allow for exciting visual possibilities with the added bonus of functionality. Modern typography is almost exclusively created using vectors. The text you're looking at right now is a product of vector graphics. 3D modeling and the computer graphics (CG) we see in blockbuster superhero films are the direct consequence of developments in vector art and illustration.
Released with the title Scandinavian Night in 1988 with a tracklist rearranged to accommodate the limits of vinyl, and reprinted over the years as Live In Stockholm with the songs in the right order, it is undoubtedly one of the most important Deep Purple's live releases. Two hours long, with endless and incredibly creative improvisations, all in top form, what more could you want? picplzthumbs Without a doubt the best representation of this still transitory phase but probably the most devastating in terms of thunderous and unrestrained performances. I recommend the 2014 edition, with the addition of the 25 minutes of Doing Their Thing on DVD. If you want just one more live album besides Made In Japan, consider this.

George Stubbs paintings are best known for the horses that he captured in Whistlejacket and Mares and Foals in a Landscape, but there was much more to his career than just this. The agricultural crisis at the turn of the 20th century caused many aristocratic families to sell their paintings, but the British national collections were priced out of the market by American plutocrats. 26 This prompted the foundation of the National Art Collections Fund , a society of subscribers dedicated to stemming the flow of artworks to the United States. picplzthumbs Their first acquisition for the National Gallery was Velázquez's Rokeby Venus in 1906, followed by Holbein's Portrait of Christina of Denmark in 1909. However, despite the crisis in aristocratic fortunes, the following decade was one of several great bequests from private collectors. In 1909 the industrialist Dr Ludwig Mond gave 42 Italian renaissance paintings, including the Mond Crucifixion by Raphael, to the Gallery. 27 Other bequests of note were those of George Salting in 1910, Austen Henry Layard in 1916 and Sir Hugh Lane in 1917.
Adjacent to the Cathedral and opened in 1993 the Saint Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art contains examples of artefacts from Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism. Kumbaya is probably the all time most popular church camp song ever. picplzthumbs It's easy to sing, easy to learn and just about everybody knows it. I've submitted lots of articles to various article directories online, but I've never considered submitting an article to a newspaper, so this information is very useful. > It also has built in images (all high quality graphics), that can be easily mixed and matched as desired. It is wonderful that so many public lands have been set aside as national and state parks in the U.S. so that future generations of people will have access to them. I am glad that you enjoyed this brief look at our national parks in California.
Patience is a key factor in your piano practicing and it will pay off if you apply it properly and regularly. Learning music is a discipline and you need to treat it as such. Try to practice the same days and at the same time as much as possible, this will help you to develop a good practice routine and see positive results faster. Now that you have created your vector graphics is the first step for your own custom t-shirt! The next steps are more difficult and require you to own a bit of expensive equipment. But do not worry! Save your vector graphic to a file a take it to your local custom t-shirt printing company. If you do not have one near, there are companies that do this online. You can go to and send them your design and they will deliver the t-shirt to you.

The slashes cut by suffragette Mary Richardson in 1914 on Velazquez' "Rokeby Venus," while hanging at the National Gallery, London. You can usually identify vector art by process of elimination. If it has the wrong extension, it is definitely not vector. I encourage customers if they are not sure enlarge the image to 400 or 800{81ba776f17fec9454490d7b8fbf4dc8c5c5020b4f83f6b2aaca6427b8ebffab5} and if the edges are extremely rough and pixilated it is probably NOT a vector image. If you still can't tell send it to your printer and they can let you know. file may be vector or raster. It depends on how it was originally created. Raster format is also known as bitmap or BMP. They mean the same thing and are comprised of pixels, so when you enlarge them they become diluted. picplzthumbs It's the most widely used clipart format and is usually all you need.
"Finally, the problem of technology is not the only problem worth thinking about, and better technology is not the only remedy worth seeking for the ills of human life. Indeed, one of the great shortcomings of modern society is that seeking remedies (or technological therapy") becomes our overriding aim, crowding out the search for wisdom, love, excellence, and holiness that is central to living a full human life. The Victoria & Albert Museum in London offers a huge collection of royal ceramics and treasures from around the world. Perhaps visit The Natural History museum afterward which is ideally located. Did your angels look like the ones in the paintings? I'd love to know.

The Heidelberg School originated in July 1891, with the art critic Sidney Dickinson's (US, 1890-1980) review of the works by Arthur Streeton (Australian, 1867-1943) and Walter Withers (Australian, 1854-1914). Sidney observed that the artists painting in the Heidelberg area were inspired by its landscapes and the impact of natural light on them. Since then, The Heidelberg School implied the Australian artists of the late nineteenth century, painting in the Impressionist Plein-Air style. Apart from their grandeur as compositions, these works form an integral part of Australia's creative record. The Heidelberg School began to slowly dissolve in the 1890s. picplzthumbs Since television took over the media, it has become nothing more than a tool of indoctrination and almost all "art" has been commodified.

3D designs and 2D designs depend on the same algorithm, vector graphics and raster graphics. Science and technology are not value free. Not only were Jews hunted down, but also Jehovah Witnesses, gypsies, Polish and Russian Intelligentia, and anyone deemed inferior to the Aryan ideals. It is a great place to view new artists' work, and it's in a really lovely location as well. Foreign dictators were not granted US airtime, for example, and scandals about politicians were held indefinitely or forever.
The outmoded belief that technologies are value free is a direct outgrowth of the dualist philosophy of early scientists and technocrats, but this philosophy is a mistake, since science and technology did challenge and undercut the values and ways of life of the pre-modern era.

QUALCOMM (QCOM) Q4 Earnings and Revenues Surpass Estimates
Zacks November 8, 2018
Driven by proper execution of its strategic priorities including growth in Chinese business, QUALCOMM (QCOM) beats earnings estimates in fiscal Q4.
QUALCOMM Incorporated QCOM reported healthy fourth-quarter fiscal 2018 results backed by proper execution of its strategic priorities to drive technology and product leadership, particularly in 5G. Notably, growth of leading customers in China was a positive for the company both on volume and improving mix of devices. Both the top line and the bottom line surpassed the respective Zacks Consensus Estimate in the quarter.
On a GAAP basis, net loss for the fiscal fourth quarter was $493 million or loss of 35 cents per share against an income of $168 million or 11 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. This was primarily due to higher total costs and expenses. For fiscal 2018, net loss was $4,864 million or loss of $3.32 per share against income of $2,466 million or $1.65 per share a year ago, mainly due to higher income tax expenses.
Quarterly non-GAAP net income came in at $1,280 million or 90 cents per share compared with $1,375 million or 92 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. The bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7 cents.
QUALCOMM Incorporated Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
QUALCOMM Incorporated Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise | QUALCOMM Incorporated Quote
Fiscal fourth-quarter GAAP revenues were $5,803 million compared with $5,905 million in the prior-year quarter despite stronger-than-expected demand for chips from Chinese customers. For fiscal 2018, GAAP revenues increased 2% year over year to $22,732 million.
Quarterly non-GAAP revenues came in at $5,833 million compared with $5,957 million in the year-ago quarter, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5,535 million.
Segmental Performance
Qualcomm CDMA Technologies (QCT) revenues remained almost flat at $4,647 million primarily driven by strength in Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chip shipments of 232 million supported by better-than-estimated demand from Chinese OEMs. EBT (earnings before tax) margin was 17% compared with 21% in the prior-year quarter reflecting strong demand trends in China, particularly in the mid and high tiers, offset by the impact of lower share at Apple Inc. AAPL.
Qualcomm Technology Licensing (QTL) revenues were $1,138 million, down 6.2% year over year. EBT margin was 65% compared with 68% in the prior-year quarter.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
In fiscal 2018, Qualcomm generated $3,895 million of cash from operating activities compared with $5,001 million in fiscal 2017.
As of Sep 30, 2018, the company had $11,777 million of cash and cash equivalents with long-term debt of $15,365 million compared with respective tallies of $35,029 million and $19,398 million a year ago.
Stockholders' Wealth
During fiscal fourth quarter, Qualcomm returned $21.1 billion to stockholders. This included $866 million (62 cents per share) of dividends and $20.2 billion through repurchases of 254.6 million shares.
First-Quarter Fiscal 2019 Outlook
Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 are estimated in the range of $4.5-$5.3 billion. Revenues at QTL are expected to be between $1 billion and $1.1 billion. GAAP earnings are estimated between 78 cents and 88 cents per share. Non-GAAP earnings are projected in the $1.05-$1.15 per share range. Qualcomm is expected to ship 175-195 million MSM chipsets in the ongoing quarter. Worth noting, this financial guidance excludes QTL revenues for royalties due on sales of Apple products by Apple's contract manufacturers as well as sales of products by the other licensee in dispute.
Qualcomm expects further growth from its China business in fiscal 2019, particularly in the second half. The chip maker remains focused around three key priorities, the primary among which is to drive the transition to 5G. Secondly, the company aims to resolve its dispute with Apple and lastly, execute well its operating plans across its core product businesses. While Qualcomm expanded its leadership to the high tiers with Snapdragon 700, its Snapdragon 800 solutions will continue defining the premium tier benchmarks. Furthermore, the product mix is improving in the China region and key Qualcomm China-based customers are gaining share globally, most recently in India and Europe, auguring well for its future business growth.
Zacks Rank and Stocks to Consider
Qualcomm currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Better-ranked stocks in the industry include Comtech Telecommunications Corp. CMTL and Ribbon Communications Inc. RBBN, both sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Comtech has a long-term earnings growth expectation of 5%. It beat earnings estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average positive surprise being 136%.
Ribbon has a long-term earnings growth expectation of 12%. It beat earnings estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average positive surprise being 180.2%.
Looking for Stocks with Skyrocketing Upside?
Zacks has just released a Special Report on the booming investment opportunities of legal marijuana.
Ignited by new referendums and legislation, this industry is expected to blast from an already robust $6.7 billion to $20.2 billion in 2021. Early investors stand to make a killing, but you have to be ready to act and know just where to look.

Q: Show all hours even when no data I am looking to write a query that shows all hours even when no data is present. I have seen some posts where the suggestion is to create a temporary table that has all the hours listed but I am not sure how to do that. Here is my current query:
select DATE_FORMAT(t_stamp, "%h %p") as Hour, count(*) as Count
from cyclehistory
where DATE(t_stamp) = CURRENT_DATE()
group by hour(t_stamp)

This works returns the following
 Hour | Count
09 AM | 6
10 AM | 11
1 PM  | 5

But I would like it to return
 Hour | Count
.
.
.
09 AM | 6
10 AM | 11
11 AM | 0
12 PM | 0
1 PM  | 5
.
.

A: You do need some kind of table of numbers to do this. Here, you just need 24 numbers, from 0 to 23. Say the numbers table is called numbers with column num:
select maketime(n.num, 0, 0) as t_time, count(c.t_stamp) cnt
from numbers n
left join cyclehistory c
    on hour(c.tstamp) = n.num
    and c.t_stamp >= current_date and c.t_stamp < current_date + interval 1 day
group by n.num

There are multiple ways to build the number table. You can create a table and insert records manually:
create table numbers (num int primary key);
insert into numbers values (0), (1), ..., (23);

For a one-time task, you can create a derived table directly in the query:
select ...
from (
    select 0 num
    union all select 1
    ...
    union all select 23
) numbers
left join ...

In MySQL 8.0, you can use a recursive query:
with recursive numbers (num) as (
    select 0
    union all select num + 1 from cte where num < 23
)
select ...
from numbers
left join ...

As the final ram sales of the season are just wrapped up for another year, The Irish Charollais Sheep Society is now switching it sales focus to a number of upcoming female & In- Lamb Ewe sales that are run under the auspices of the Society. These are listed to take place in various locations throughout the country over the coming weeks. Society run female sales are the ideal opportunity to purchase quality females to introduce new bloodlines into your flock. Intending members can also purchase their foundation stock of five females at any of these venues. All will be Society inspected prior to sale and are pedigree registered with the Irish Society.
The first venue is on Saturday 27th October at G.V.M Mart Tullamore. Approx 76 females from Society members will be presented for sale and a production sale from the D73 flock of Michael Higgins will also be included. The Society is anticipating that the central location of the sale will appeal and attract buyers from all areas of the country.
The following week Saturday 03rd November we return to Tullow for the 'Spice Girls Female Sale' which comprises of a reduction sale for the A17 flock of Michael & Sarah O'Neill from Co.Wexford. Guest consignments on the day include the Ardcath flock (F39) of Eugene O Sullivan with Edward Buckley's Kilbarry (D82) flock, the (H7) Carriganeela flock of Pamela Deane and James & Thomas Murphy's ( A6&A9)Saddle Hill & Inistioge flocks also contributing significantly to the sale ballot. In excess of 100 ewes all scanned in lamb will be on offer along with 15 ewe lambs (sold empty)
The final Society female sale will be at Stranorlar Mart on Friday 09th November, this will feature approximately 40 females from various Society Members.
Details and catalogues for all sales will be available closer to the dates from 0851179690 or alternatively check out our Facebook page or the website www.irishcharollaissheep.net

Q: Given a base class how do I find the most specialized subclasses of it? I can find all the classes that are subclasses of BaseClass with something like
var subclasses = Assembly
   .GetAssembly(typeof(BaseClass))
   .GetTypes()
   .Where(t => t.IsSubclassOf(typeof(BaseClass)))

Now, how do I select only the most specialized subclasses? That is, the leaf-nodes, the ones with no subclasses of their own.

A: subclasses.Where(c => !subclasses.Any(c2 => c == c2.BaseType))

This will be faster is you make a HashSet of BaseTypes.
This only works because BaseClass is in the same assembly; otherwise, it would inconrrectly catch intermediate classes which inherit from an intermediate class in a different assembly.
The more general solution would be to check IsAssignableFrom against every other subclass.

Adolf Hemberger (* 4. November 1929 in Buchen (Odenwald); † 10. Januar 1992 in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe) war ein deutscher Wissenschaftstheoretiker an der Universität Gießen.

Leben
Hembergers Eltern sind der Forstbeamte Adolf Hemberger und seine Frau Ida geb. Mayer. In Buchen ging er mit seinen drei Brüdern zur Schule und später auf das Gymnasium. Das Abitur machte er am Gymnasium Tauberbischofsheim.

Studien
An der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz und der Philipps-Universität Marburg studierte er Volkswirtschaftslehre. 1955 bestand er in Marburg die Diplomprüfung. Später nahm er an der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main ein Zweitstudium in Philosophie und Pädagogik auf. Nebenbei in der Frankfurter Studentenschaft engagiert, übernahm er das Sozialreferat im Allgemeinen Studierendenausschuss. 1958 renoncierte er im Corps Franconia Jena. Am 13. Dezember 1958 recipiert, bekleidete er die Charge des Subseniors. Seinen Corpsbrüdern blieb es ein Rätsel, wie er es schaffte, neben Familie, Job, Corps und Studium in einem Semester drei fachfremde Jurascheine abzuhaken, darunter eine Exegese der Pandekten und einen BGB-Schein. 1960 inaktiviert, bestand er am Pädagogischen Institut in Weilburg das Erste Lehramtsexamen. Im Referendariat wechselte er an die Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, um Gesellschaftswissenschaft zu studieren. Die Erwachsenenbildung rückte immer mehr in den Mittelpunkt seiner Interessen. Im Sommersemester 1962 wurde er in Heidelberg zum Dr. phil. promoviert.

Hochschullehrer
Nachdem er 1963 das Zweite Lehramtsexamen bestanden hatte, war er als Dozent in der Lehrerbildung tätig. Die Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen ernannte ihn 1972 zum Professor. 1973/74 war er Prodekan der Philosophischen Fakultät. Das Fach, das er von da an zu vertreten hatte, kam seinen Interessen sehr entgegen: Wissenschaftstheorie und Forschungsmethodologie. An keine Prüfungsordnung gebunden, konnte er den Freiraum des Fachs für alles nutzen, was ihn gerade faszinierte: Jahrelang galt sein Hauptinteresse der Freimaurerei, besonders auch der "irregulären" Fraternitas Saturni. Mit Genehmigung der Gießener Universität bot er in den 1970er Jahren Seminare über Studentenverbindungen an – mit praktischen Übungen auf Korporationshäusern. In den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten widmete er sich der Psychologie, Psychotherapie und Parapsychologie. Zu Zeiten, als es gar nicht zeitgemäß war, wetterte er gegen die Überpsychologisierung allen menschlichen Verhaltens, die zur Rechtfertigungstheorie für alles und jeden werde und den Menschen aus der Eigenverantwortung entlasse.

Heilpraktiker und Esoteriker
Zusätzlich zu seinem Professorenamt war er auf außeruniversitären Feldern aktiv. So befasste er sich intensiv mit Experimentalmagie, was ihm viel Kritik einbrachte. Neben seinen theoretisch orientierten Beschäftigungen in Forschung und Lehre war er als ausgebildeter Heilpraktiker tätig. Über 15 Jahre betreute er die psychosomatische Odenwald-Klinik in Bad König. Hemberger sah sich als Magier und Wiedererwecker verschiedener magischer Systeme.

Privates
Hemberger spielte ausgezeichnet Schach und liebte das Bergsteigen. Die übrige freie Zeit verbrachte er auf Corpshäusern irgendwo in Deutschland, am liebsten in Heidelberg. Als sein Corps 1981 den Kösener Vorort stellte, hielt er die Festrede in der Würzburger Residenz. Sie fand große Anerkennung. Eine "vergnügliche und ganz unorthodoxe" Rede hielt er auch in Regensburg auf dem ersten Donaukommers, den Franconia vorbereitet hatte. Sie befasste sich mit dem Verhältnis zu den Kösener Corps in Österreich. Seine beiden Ehen wurden geschieden. Mit seiner dritten Lebensgefährtin lebte er in der Nähe von Bad Homburg. Als er mit 62 Jahren gestorben war, gelang es ihr, die große Familie zur Beerdigung fast vollständig zusammenzubringen.

Dorothy Mitsuoka was a successful citrus farmer with a passion for education. She wanted to help children in the Dinuba area, where she lived, to reach their academic dreams since she'd never been able to go to college herself. Her generosity and work ethic were unrivaled, her friends recall. To her, a college education was the most valuable thing a child could receive.
Before Dorothy Mitsuoka passed away from cancer in 2008, she planned for the Central Valley Community Foundation (CVCF) to receive her bequest gift of the citrus orchards she farmed. Her bequest gift is creating opportunities for youth in the Dinuba area to continue their education. Included in her will are instructions for an endowed fund within CVCF that will continue to change the lives of the children she held so dear.

CRTC radio review 'a profound disappointment': CAB
Connie Thiessen
The Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) is calling the CRTC's commercial radio policy review "a profound disappointment."
Released Wednesday morning following a process that began in early 2020, the commission relaxed Common Ownership Policy to allow broadcasters to operate an additional FM station under certain conditions, but maintained Canadian content quotas, which many organizations, including the CAB, had suggested are now out of step with consumer tastes and choice in the new digital landscape.
CAB President Kevin Desjardins said the review represents "a missed opportunity to help ensure the future sustainability of radio."
"After a drawn-out process of well over two years, we are dismayed that the Commission has missed this critical opportunity to establish a forward-looking policy for the sustainability of radio broadcasting in Canada," said Desjardins, in a statement. "Instead, we have been presented with regulation through the rear-view mirror, which uses past policy touchstones that do not create the conditions for future success for a radio sector already in crisis."
The CAB went on to say it is "unfathomable" that the commission would adopt a policy framework that largely maintains the status quo when the industry is experiencing a significant decline due to massive changes in the audio ecosystem, citing the CRTC's own data which indicates a commercial radio revenue downturn of more than half a billion dollars over the past six years.
"With a few small exceptions, the updated Commercial Radio Policy does not include any meaningful changes for commercial radio broadcasters. In fact, it instigates further processes through Canadian Content Development (CCD) initiatives and the review of Canadian content requirements. Moreover, the Commission chose to defer important aspects of the decision into further proceedings without providing a timetable for those processes," stated the CAB. "At a moment when the market for audio listening is exploding with unregulated options, the Commission must change course for the future viability of the sector."
Meanwhile, Music Canada, the non-profit trade organization that represents the major record companies in Canada, said it is looking forward to helping the commission modernize the definition of Canadian content under the current MAPL (Music, Artist, Performance and Lyrics) system, as the commission moves towards new criteria to broaden the eligible songs that stations can play to meet their Canadian content requirements, better reflecting how music is made today.
"We applaud the Commission for maintaining current Canadian content regulations, and while we would have liked to have seen a higher play requirement for plays by emerging artists, a 5% requirement will act as an important tool to help ensure the next generation of great Canadian talent is heard," said Patrick Rogers, Chief Executive Officer of Music Canada. "Lastly, we support the Commission's efforts to help create an environment where music from equity-deserving and sovereignty-affirming groups can grow in that it is done so in ways informed by the voices from those communities."

Review: Paparazzi (Wii U eShop)
Zalbet
A Flash Of Crazy
There have been a number of games on the Wii U with a focus on local and asymmetrical multiplayer over the last few years. From launch title Nintendo Land, to Game and Wario, Chariot… and so on. Among this variety of experiences, we have Paparazzi, a budget title with relatively little publicity around it. Does this make it stand as a fun time with friends, or is its simplicity its bane?
The premise of the game is very simple. One player controls a celebrity and runs trying to avoid the other player's attempts at photographing them. The photos are taken by either pointing and pressing b with the Wiimote or tapping the on the gamepad's screen. This simple set up makes for easy pick up and play. So even your grandmother can have some fun here.
As the celebrity runs around the bird's eye view areas, they can hide behind buildings or collect power-ups to assist their escape. Some of them grant super speed, others turn you invisible and another one creates clones of your character (this can be both amusing and confusing). In addition to this, there's a dash button always available, but hiding generally proves to be more effective.
A dual health meter on the top screen functions as a sort of tug-o-war. Each shot taken by the photographer will add to the money bar, while decreasing the celebrity's appropriately named dignity meter and vice versa. Just like in real life, it's quite easy for the paparazzi to get the better of the escaping victim, with shots being fast in comparison to the controllable character's legs. Each round will end once the celebrity reaches his or her limo, with the state of the health meter determining the outcome.
The visuals use very minimalist pixel art. This does work to its advantage however, as it allows for the celebrities to hide easily, whilst still making each sprite fairly visible. The music, however, gets far more attention. It's very upbeat, catchy and jazzy, making the frantic game of cat and mouse even more hectic.
The game features several areas and playable characters to mix things up a little, with some being charming references to real life counterparts, but they don't do much to add variety. As entertaining and laugh inducing as the game was during the initial rounds, it lacked any sort of depth to keep players hooked for longer periods of time. After each round, there's the option to play again or change areas and characters, nothing else. This does not mean that we didn't have fun with it though, just that it's a very short-lived kind of fun. There's a single player option included. But, frankly, it doesn't do much for the whole package, with the CPU being a very underwhelming replacement to an actual human player. As such, this is best played in short sessions, particularly with a group of friends and some drinks handy.
Paparazzi is fun, accessible, charming and hilarious to play. However, it's lack of options and scarce variety ultimately cut it short of being anything more than a quick laugh with friends. If a lack of depth means a deal breaker to you, then you might want to get a restraining order against it, but if a short flash of chaotic fun is what you're looking for, it's worth a shot.
