Drama TV Shows - 1970s 1 Min Read
Khan!
7 x 60 minute episodes
This short-lived CBS series was essentially a 1970's version of Charlie Chan, with wily Chinese-American private eye Khan (Khigh Dheigh – whose real name was Ken Davis) solving unusual murders in San Francisco's Chinatown by combining modern detective methods and technology with his culture's innate wisdom.
Helping him were his college-educated children Kim (Evan C. Kim) and Anna (Irene Yah-Ling Sun). Lt. Gubbins (Vic Tayback) was Khan's police contact.
Guest stars included Victor Buono, George Takei, Patrick Macnee, Mercedes McCambridge and Clu Gulager.
Khan! sparked many protests among the Asian-American community and some CBS affiliates refused to air the show. CBS pulled the series after the second episode and only four of the seven produced episodes aired in the US (although all seven episodes aired during a run on Australian television in 1976).

What is Human Biofield Project?
The 'Human Biofield Project' is an open source research collaboration whose aim is to shed light on an important scientific frontier that for too long has been taboo to institutional based researchers.
We have starting compiling a library of research globally on all areas that fall under the umbrella of this project. These include consciousness studies, parapsychology, energy medicine and energy psychology research. The fields of Biophotonics, Bioplasma, Psychotronics, Subtle energies, Biofeedback, EMF research. We expect to produce a database of over 20,000 relevant peer reviewed studies.
The human biofield project will allow editors to update the different sections of our database such as our Hall of Fame, our member biographies, research papers, events sections and suchlike.
We intend to be a research based information portal for all to access unbiased reports on their chosen search criteria.
We need editors, to write biographies and find relevant links for the following people, if someone is not on this list please add them if they automatically qualify by having published a paper or book on the subject.

Процес стабілізації й асоціації ЄС — процес, які проходять країни, які висловили бажання приєднатися до ЄС. ЄС укладає угоду про асоціацію в обмін на зобов'язання політичних, економічних, торговельних реформ і забезпечення прав людини в цій країні. В обмін на це, країна може отримати безмитний доступ до деяких або всіх ринках ЄС, а також фінансову або технічну допомогу.

Угода про стабілізацію й асоціацію є частиною Процесу стабілізації й асоціації й Європейської політики сусідства. На травень 2012 країни Балканського півострова знаходяться в активній частині адаптації угоди про стабілізацію й асоціацію.

Деякі пункти угоди вже були виконані різними країнами Балкан, які явно містять положення про майбутнє членство в ЄС відповідних держав. Ці угоди схожі з підписаними з країнами Центральної та Східної Європи в 1990-і й угодою про асоціацію з Туреччиною.

Кожна угода про асоціацію має бути ратифіковані країною кандидатом і всіма державами-членами ЄС.

Q: .NET Core MVC add role claim to local user when in development before authorization I'm looking for an "easy" way to automatically add role claims to the local user in order to test my authorization logic; that is, wanting to add some specific claims to the local user before they are authorized by my controllers.
I've learned that in the past something akin to this could be done for the controllers:
#if DEBUG
protected override void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
{
    var roles = new[] { "role-under-test"};
    HttpContext.User = new GenericPrincipal(new GenericIdentity("DebugUser"), roles);
    base.OnAuthorization(filterContext);
}
#endif

Yet that was prior to .NET Core which is what I'm working in now. Slowly I've worked my way to the code presented below,  which seems to work, but is clearly much more of a hassle compared to the above example. So my question is whether anyone knows a better--more easy--way to achieve this?
The custom authorization attribute:
public class CustomAuthAttribute : RolesAuthorizationRequirement {
    public CustomAuthAttribute(IEnumerable<string> allowedRoles) : base(allowedRoles) { }

    protected override Task HandleRequirementAsync(AuthorizationHandlerContext context, RolesAuthorizationRequirement requirement) {
#if DEBUG
        context.User.AddIdentity(new ClaimsIdentity(new GenericIdentity("DebugUser"), new[] {
            new Claim(ClaimsIdentity.DefaultRoleClaimType, "users"),
            new Claim(ClaimsIdentity.DefaultRoleClaimType, "admins")
        }));
#endif
        return base.HandleRequirementAsync(context, requirement);
    }
}

In Startup.cs
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {
    // ...

    services.AddAuthorization( options =>
        options.AddPolicy("UsersAndAdmins",
            policy => policy.AddRequirements(new CustomAuthAttribute(new []{"users", "admins"}))));
}

And then using it in the controllers:
[Authorize(Policy = "UsersAndAdmins")]
public class HomeController : Controller {
    // ...

A: You want claims transformation;
Write a claims transformation that looks like
public class ClaimsTransformer : IClaimsTransformer
{
    public Task<ClaimsPrincipal> TransformAsync(ClaimsTransformationContext context)
    {
        ((ClaimsIdentity)context.principal.Identity).AddClaim(new Claim("Admin", "true"));
        return Task.FromResult(principal);
    }
}

And wire it up inside Configure in startup.cs
app.UseClaimsTransformation(new ClaimsTransformationOptions
{
    Transformer = new ClaimsTransformer()
});

Of course if it's for test you'd wrap it inside an environment check to ensure you're in your dev environment :)

Damned for not Believing Christ died for you - Nathaniel Holmes (1599-1678)
Here is an example of horrific false teachings among reformation era ministers. We find here the close relation of two false doctrines: Hypothetical Universal Redemption and Duty-Faith. Holmes implies that Christ died for every man's common nature and that men under the gospel are threatened and damned for not believing that Christ died for them. Hebrews 7:25 exposes this error in that Christ does not offer or intend to save anyone apart from His everlasting intercession. Notice, Holmes's consistent train of thought in running with duty-faith (duty-faith must make room for an offered universal atonement).
"For further clearing of what has been said, this question would be followed whether election and redemption are not somehow opposite? for election is expressed but of some, redemption is offered to all. To which we answer, though we touch on it afore. That though redemption itself, be in the first act larger than election: viz., in Christ dying in the common nature of man, not in that of angels, and thereby brings human nature near to salvation, than the common nature of angels, so that man's nature in general, is saveable, where the wicked angels are not ("For verily he took not on him the nature of angels, but he took on him the seed of Abraham, Heb. 2:10, which is but the renewing of that covenant with Adam, Gen. 3:15). For otherwise men under the gospel, could not be justly damned for unbelief, but would be threatened for not believing a lie, namely that Christ died for them, when as in no sort he did. But this distinction of Christ's dying for the common nature, solves that difficulty, shows what interest all men haver in Christ's redemption, and the fault of them to whom it is made known, not in claiming it and closing with it. I say, though, in this first act, redemption seems of greater latitude than election, yet in the last and ultimate act they are equal; which is the last act is to make particular persons (that are only saveable in the common nature) to be actually saved in their particular persons, which is done by Christ's special act of Mediatorship, viz., Intercession, John 17:20, "I pray for them which shall believe on me," whereas the other saveability is done by Christ's common act of mediatorship of making atonement by death. So that evenly to an hair2 those only that are elected, are effectually redeemed. For though in God's election there be no necessary compulsion, yet there is in it a necessity of infallibility, of infallibility else God should not know what would befall his own purpose. Yet not compulsion, and, therefore, we must not charge upon election which belongs not to it. As that non-election does effect and force us out of salvation. We must not confound God's decree, and the execution of his decree, or cut off the rest of the links of God's predestination, namely, vocation, justification, conformation to Christ, &c., Rom. 8, from the first act of election choosing of some, and so on the contrary. For non-election cannot damn us, unless we refuse vocation, &c.3" -Nathaniel Holmes

Q: mysql query works when ran in phpmyadmin, but returns an error when ran in php Using the following function, I am attempting to update data to a database. The query works well when directly ran in phpmyadmin, but produces an error when running from php.
Here is the function
function edit_row($table, $columns, $where){
        db_connect();
        $query = "BEGIN WORK; SET AUTOCOMMIT=0; UPDATE $table SET $columns WHERE $where;    COMMIT;";
        echo $query; //this is to control for typing errors when testing in phpmyadmin
        mysql_query($query) or die ("Entry could not be made, " . mysql_error());
        db_close();
}

running this command:
edit_row("hello","test = 'some other string'", "test = 'somestring'");

echo outputs:
BEGIN WORK; SET AUTOCOMMIT=0; UPDATE hello SET test = 'some other string' WHERE test = 'some string'; COMMIT;

error produced:
Entry could not be made, You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'SET AUTOCOMMIT=0; UPDATE hello SET test = 'some other string' WHERE test = 'so' at line 2

It appears to cut off the last bit of the query string, but not sure if this is a quirk of the die() method

A: You cannot execute multiple queries in a single call to mysql_query - you need to break-up your query into four separate calls.
As per the PHP mysql_query documentation:

mysql_query() sends a unique query
  (multiple queries are not supported)
  to the currently active database on
  the server that's associated with the
  specified link_identifier.

The reason this works in phpMyAdmin, is because phpMyAdmin is in fact carrying out four separate queries in the background after de-constructing the statement(s) entered.

Students' exhibit about the fight for bluff on display at Mars Hill University's Ramsey Center
An exhibit called "The Fight for Bluff: A Community's Effort to Preserve Its Mountain" is on display in Mars Hill University's Liston B. Ramsey Center for Regional Studies. The exhibit looks at the history behind the proposed large scale logging of Bluff Mountain in the late 1990s and the public response to the National Forest Service's proposal. It examines how the two sides were able to come to an agreement that drastically reduced the size of the proposed timber harvest. Bluff Mountain is located near Hot Springs, North Carolina, along the North Carolina–Tennessee state line.
The exhibit was researched, written, and designed by history students who are a part of the Public History Concentration and were enrolled in the Archival Management/Museum Studies course in the fall semester of 2016. "Having these students work on the exhibit gave them the opportunity to see the work that goes into creating this type of piece while also teaching them how to work in a team setting, how to research and write with the public in mind, and what it will take to succeed in the field of public history. It is the goal of the public history concentration to make students aware of a growing field that they could potentially work in, while also helping to broaden their understanding of what it means to be a historian," said Patrick Cash, Public History Program Coordinator and instructor of the course.
"Being able to participate in the creation of the exhibit has truly been an eye opening to the importance of history and public history," said Jennifer Cardona-Alfaro of Raleigh, North Carolina. "Beyond providing me with wonderful hands-on experience, this exhibit has allowed me to be a part of a larger project that I am proud of. This exhibit is a form of preservation of knowledge, culture, and community and we hope it inspires visitors to become involved in their own community," The other students involved with the project are Digna Bermudez of Charlotte, North Carolina; Brandon Cheek of Inman, South Carolina; Adrienne Enoch of Kernersville, North Carolina; Clay Peregoy of Salem, Virginia; and Jamie Whitesides of Black Mountain, North Carolina.
The exhibit will remain on display through July 28, 2017. Hours are Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 1 to 4 p.m.; Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 to 11 a.m.; and by appointment. The Ramsey Center is located on the main level of Renfro Library on the Mars Hill University campus. For more information, contact Patrick Cash at (828) 689-1581 or pcash@mhu.edu.
The Liston B. Ramsey Center for Regional Studies at Mars Hill University connects the campus with the wider community to explore the history, culture, and environment of the Southern Appalachian region. The Ramsey Center preserves and provides access to resources for this study through its Southern Appalachian Archives. The center shares Mars Hill University's commitment to local and global engagement, to service, and to experiential learning.

Dover tables action on anti-dawdling ordinance until new year
By Leann Schenke
DOVER — While City Council discussed creating a committee to determine the legality and advantages of an "anti-dawdling" ordinance last week, the decision was ultimately tabled.
Posted Wednesday, December 1, 2021 5:00 am
Ralph Taylor
The topic may come up next during January's Safety, Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting.
"As we have all found, the dawdling ordinance has been one that has come up against opposition," Councilman Ralph Taylor said Nov. 23.
Councilmen Taylor and David Anderson originally introduced creating a new rule in Dover's code against dawdling Oct. 26. As proposed, the ordinance would make it unlawful for anyone to linger, play music, stand around or distribute substances in public parking lots between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
It would also be unlawful for anyone to stand or sit on any street or sidewalk in a way that obstructs others from using it.
The proposal would create a fee for offenders of no less than $50 and no more than $150. The fine would double if not paid within 14 days of being issued.
In prior meetings, Councilman Taylor noted that the ordinance is meant to curb crime without creating records. Currently, those arrested for loitering have that arrest put on their files. Those found in violation of the new rule would have to pay a fee — with no arrest.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Delaware has spoken out against the proposal because it says anti-loitering laws are often used to exclude visibly poor and unhoused people from public places.
After Councilman Taylor pitched the idea of creating a committee last week, Councilwoman Tricia Arndt suggested waiting until council receives a legal opinion on the ordinance as it is currently written.
"Before we come together with a committee to evaluate how it should be implemented or how best implemented, we should take a step back and see if it can be implemented legally," she said.
Councilman Taylor agreed, saying he had not seen a legal opinion yet. However, Council President Roy Sudler said he and Councilman Andre Boggerty had spoken with the city solicitor, who recommended checking with ACLU on the legality of the ordinance as proposed, in conjunction with seeking input from the community.
Councilman Taylor then asked if the committee could recess for 10 minutes to look at the solicitor's legal opinion. The committee opted against recessing, after Councilman Sudler questioned if that would be a Freedom of Information Act violation.
Councilman Fred Neil said that, in his opinion, the city needs to tackle two issues: the legality of the ordinance as proposed — he suggested contacting ACLU and NAACP — and then "undemonizing" it. He said the ordinance is meant to help businesses in the downtown area gain more patrons by applying a monetary punishment to those who behave poorly in that area.
"The city of Dover is hurting by what's happening in the downtown area," he said. "Businesses are drying up. People don't want to come down. This is what we hear."
Noting that he is looking forward to serving on a committee about the ordinance, Councilman Boggerty spoke against rushing it.
"There are enough rules and laws on loitering," he said. "Things are on the books, and if it hasn't stopped certain situations now, a new law, a new ordinance is not going to stop it."
He said there is more nuance to the issue of establishments closing downtown — like the availability of parking and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic — than just people loitering.
"(It's) as if we pass this ordinance, all the sudden, downtown is going to glow," Councilman Boggerty said.
Councilman Taylor added that the initiative aims to create a sustainable solution that allows businesses to succeed without infringing on the rights of disenfranchised people.
Acknowledging the controversy, he said having a mixture of opinions of people who are for or against it is a good thing.
"That's what we need," he said. "If two people in business always agree, then one of them is not necessary."

A trio of Horowhenua sisters are off to Canada as part of a national canoe polo team, to defend their hard-won world title in the adrenalin-filled sport.
Julie, Erin and Kate Bolton are on their way to Welland, Canada, as part of the Paddle Ferns, New Zealand's national women's canoe polo team, to defend the title, which they won two years ago in Syracuse, Italy.
The Bolton siblings got into canoe polo at Horowhenua College and played for the local club.
"My older sister started with canoe polo at school and you sort of follow in your sibling's footsteps," said Julie Bolton, who made her debut for the Paddle Ferns in Milan in 2010. "The family support was awesome for us kids."
The passion grew and grew and more than 10 years after leaving school they're still playing and often together.
The NZ Women's team for the Canoe Polo World Championships, from left, Gemma Potaka, Sian Fendall, Erin Moore (nee Bolton) - captain, Julie Bolton, Kate Bolton, Sophie Winton and Kaylie Potaka.
Levin has its own canoe polo club and so do Palmerston North, Hawke's Bay and Feilding. The Oceania Championships have been played in Palmerston North at least twice. Julie plays for the Palmerston North club as she now lives and works in the city. Her club team was national champion last year and runner-up this year. The Paddle Ferns are seven strong: Gemma Potaka (Wellington), Sian Fendall (HCPC), Erin Moore (nee Bolton) captain (HCPC), Julie Bolton HCPC), Kate Bolton (HCPC), Sophie Winton (Palmerston North) and Kaylie Potaka (Wellington).
Uniquely the squad includes the three sisters, who are very competitive, especially among themselves. "We've been in the team since 2009," said Julie. "We challenge and push each other all the time. We all love to travel and play sport together."
And well-travelled the Bolton sisters are. They have been to Poland twice, to Colombia, Germany, France and Italy and have played warm-up tournaments there as well as in The Netherlands and Belgium, the latter a favourite destination for the sisters. Now they're on their way to Canada.
"[It's] very exciting," said Julie. "It is the first time in about 10 years that the world championships aren't [being] held in Europe."
Canoe polo began as a demonstration sport at the National Canoe Exhibition in Crystal Palace in London in 1970. The interest that display generated led to a national committee being formed and the sport spread around the world.
Now every two years world championships are held. The 2018 Paddle Ferns are a new team, said Julie. So all bets are off as to what colour medal they'll come home with.

One consistent challenge we have seen in our twenty years of B2B marketing for the pharmaceutical business is improving medication adherence—that is, ensuring patients are taking their medications as prescribed. One of the largest barriers to adherence is cost; generic versions of brand name drugs help make those medications more affordable. But for drugs categorized as biologics, "generic" is anything but.
An advisory panel for the Food and Drug Administration recently recommended the approval of EP2006, a drug that reduces infection rates among patients receiving chemotherapy by increasing white blood cell counts. EP2006 is a biosimilar of the biologic drug Neupogen. If the FDA follows the recommendation, EP2006—manufactured by Novartis—will be the first biosimilar to receive approval in the United States.
Biologics are medications made of large, complicated molecules from biological sources—living tissue, blood, etc. They are used to treat a variety of conditions, including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and cancer. Biosimilars are drugs that are—as the name implies—very similar to existing, approved biologics.
Biologics are more complex than small-molecule, synthesized medications, often requiring special equipment and processes as well as lengthy research periods and multiple clinical trials. In the end, development can cost up to $250 million before a biologic achieves FDA approval. This expense often gets passed down to the patient (in the case of Neupogen, around $300 per dose), making these potentially life-saving drugs cost prohibitive. While still far more complicated than a small-molecule synthetic, a biosimilar is more affordable to produce than a biologic, as the bulk of the research and development has already been done by the makers of the original biologic.
When a synthetic medication goes off patent, competition from multiple generics can reduce the price of the drug by up to 80%. Because biosimilars are still more complex than synthetic generics, their cost reductions will not be as dramatic. Industry experts are predicting savings of 20-30% as biologics manufactured in the U.S. within the past twelve years begin to go off patent, though final percentages will ultimately depend on regulations in development by the FDA.
As biosimilars begin to enter the marketplace, makers of biosimilar drugs will need to overcome public perception of generic as "cheap," as the price difference on biosimilars will not be as impactful as it is with synthesized generics. On the other side of the coin, makers of brand name biologics will need to decide whether to step up their marketing game to maintain their competitive edge.
As marketers of complex products and services, we're up for either challenge!

FileMaker to quit distributing Home Page
By Dennis Sellers
Macworld JAN 2, 2001 4:00 pm PST
Starting next month, FileMaker, the wholly owned subsidiary of Apple, will quit distributing Home Page. Home Page is the Web-authoring application that was once a mainstay of Claris, the former software branch of Apple.
"Distribution of Home Page has been small and declining for some time, as inexpensive and even free Web-page creation alternatives have multiplied," according to a note on the FileMaker Web site. "Unfortunately, the demand for Home Page does not warrant the large investment needed to revise it."
Plus, Home Page doesn't fit with FileMaker's focus on creating workgroup database tools. No replacement software is planned, though the company says it will provide tools and solutions that "extend FileMaker's advantage in Web publishing." The company will continue to offer its standard technical support for customers of the Web authoring app through July 31, 2001.
For fans of Home Page, FileMaker recommends using the software with FileMaker "for as long as it meets your needs." The company also recommends that users learn about the wide variety of Web authoring tools available at online resources, or check the Web sites of leading vendors of Web authoring tools such as Microsoft, Adobe, and Macromedia.
Home Page was targeted to the consumer market. A similar product, Adobe's PageMill, was also discontinued earlier this year. At the time Raine Bergstrom, group product manager for Adobe's Internet Products Group told MacCentral that all those who develop Web pages for business purposes and "more than once every few months" will eventually use a competitive tool like GoLive or Macromedia Dreamweaver.
Hobbyists and prosumers will probably also end up using such products, he said. However, for consumers who merely wish to produce personal home pages, Bergstrom feels the trend will be to create them with the tools provided by other programs such as Microsoft Word or AppleWorks, and through online building tools such as Apple's HomePage, a component of its iTools services.

An M4R ring tone is mechanically transferred to a person"s iPhone when the iPhone is synced with the user"s pc.

Four Australian works played by an Australian 'national treasure'.
Epiphanybrings together four of Australia's leading composers in an album of new works composed for Ensemble Liaison, showcasing the range of colours and emotion, the virtuosic brilliance, and with the beauty of sound that is possible with this ensemble.
Elena Kats-Chernin's Ballade is a lyrical and sometime stirring work that takes inspiration from Monteverdi, Bach and Chopin. Aus tiefer Not by Ian Munro pays homage to J.S. Bach, using one of Bach's choral settings to reflect on his own thoughts and experiences. Michael Dooley's Epiphany, the title work on the album, tells the story of the composer's spiritual quest from childhood to early adulthood, in four movements: The River, The Box, The Abyss and The Awakening. Angelus by Mary Finsterer is inspired by the painting of the same name by French painter Jean François Millet. It portrays a simple peasant couple with their heads bowed in prayer, the music paying homage to this humble yet profound moment.
Described by Limelight magazine as a 'national treasure', Ensemble Liaison are one of Australia's leading internationally acclaimed ensembles: a tour de force renowned for captivating and engaging performances with mass appeal. Their imaginative and innovative programming has set a trend for brilliant collaborations with leading artists. Critics have hailed their performances with superlatives such as 'spellbinding', 'flawless', 'a revelation', 'moving' and 'joyous'.
The creation of new works is also a priority for Ensemble Liaison, who have commissioned music from Paul Grabowsky, Ian Munro, Gordon Kerry, Tony Gould, Stuart Greenbaum, Elena Kats-Chernin, Jane Hammond, Michael Dooley, Thomas Reiner, Aleksander Sedlar, Mark Viggiani and Mary Finsterer. Countless arrangements by the trio have also formed an integral part of their programming and artistic vision.

Tony Gould & Peter Petrucci - Gathering of Kindness (Hush Collection, Vol. 19)
Music can change lives. For almost 20 years, the Hush Foundation has been working with renowned Australian artists to create music of joy and calm – originally to support children in hospital, and now enjoyed everywhere from concert halls to living rooms. In this latest offering from the Hush series, pianist Tony Gould and guitarist Peter Petrucci present music that can bring optimism even in the toughest times.The Hush Foundation, under the inspirational leadership of physician Professor Catherine Crock AM, transforms the healthcare experience for patients, families and staff through music and the performing arts. It has produced 17 albums, bringing some of Australia's finest performers and composers together in collaborative partnerships that engage with the lived experience of people in the health system and other stressful environments. Hush albums are played not only in hospitals, but also in aged care, palliative care and childcare facilities to reduce stress and anxiety. Community and international orchestras also play music composed for Hush. In 2014, Hush's contribution to Australian music was acknowledged with the APRA/AMCOS Award for Excellence.Gathering of Kindness recognises the power of the small acts of kindness and respect that build trust and create a sense of safety and security in difficult and challenging situations. 'When we ask patients, their families and those working in healthcare "What matters to you?"' says Professor Crock, 'the single word at the top of the list is kindness.'Tony Gould and Peter Petrucci wrote the music on this album with the Hush 'family' firmly in mind. 'We hope they serve at least one of music's purposes in life, and that is to help calm our fellow humans in times when things aren't going so well. Music can do this superbly. It can also give us joy, can foster kindness and a sense that, ultimately, everything will be all right.' This latest album has been named after the healthcare events Hush has hosted since 2016. The Gathering of Kindness bring people working in health and aged care together to talk about ways kindness can flourish in their organisations and services. These events are being hosted throughout November at metro, regional and rural healthcare organisations across Victoria, and include live performances of Hush plays and music, healthcare book launches and panels, narrative and a range of self-care workshops, as well as updates on new research being undertaken. Hush is also hosting a ticketed event at KPMG in Melbourne on Thursday 14 November.›Pianist / composer / critic / author / academic / educator Tony Gould has been involved in music in Australia for over half a century.

Paul Cutlan's Coltrane Project - Live at the Side On Café
ABC Jazz is excited to announce the very first commercial release of a recording by Paul Cutlan's Coltrane Project, including a complete performance of John Coltrane's unfathomable masterpiece, Ascension. The Coltrane Project was formed by Paul Cutlan and John Mackey as a one-off tribute concert in 1997 to mark the 30th anniversary of Coltrane's death. Gathering together some of Australia's finest improvisers, the popularity of the concept and the transformative energy of the ensemble has seen it regroup for a number of very special shows over the years, unique gatherings, never to be repeated, and never to be heard beyond those lucky few in the room - until now. This release chronicles the highpoint of the project, when the ensemble swelled to 10 people in order to perform Ascension, that gigantic opus of Coltrane's late repertoire, at the Side On Café in Annandale, in Sydney's inner-west. "To me," says Cutlan, "Coltrane has always represented many things: an unreachably high standard of saxophone playing, the complexity and mystery of his harmonic and technical innovations, the inspiration of his untiring quest to always be better, to always be searching for greater spiritual and technical modes of expression, and an honest, human, universal quality which inspires my own efforts to discover what makes me unique and worthwhile as a musician." Recorded for Radio National's Live on Stage program, this concert featured two sets: the first featured a sextet of Adam Ponting (piano), Steve Elphick and Steve Arié (basses), Toby Hall (drums), Andrew Robson (alto sax) and Paul Cutlan on tenor sax, bass clarinet and E-flat clarinet, performing both Coltrane compositions and originals by members of the project inspired by Coltrane's output. This gig began with Cutlan's own Blue Step, a piece in the style of Coltrane Plays the Blues, fused with a progression from his iconic Giant Steps. Equinox follows in a minor key with a slower, moodier blues: it gives the two basses plenty of space to interact, blending with bass clarinet. Then the key shifts up a semitone, unleashing a searing alto sax solo from Andrew Robson, before sinking back to the depths. Naima is John Coltrane's best known and loved ballad, written for his first wife. In this version, the bass clarinet and two basses once again create a dark, velvety texture, before a sublime piano solo from Adam Ponting. Kaleidoscope is a quirky, Calypso melody built on the harmonic progression to Giant Steps, written by Tony Gorman. Alto sax and piccolo clarinet duet before trading choruses, then the two basses also trade choruses. Then came the second set - Ascension itself: a massive piece of intense expression, in which the players collectively create walls of sound. Each performer is featured in turn against this visceral environment, galvanised to transcend themselves in sound. For this set, the sextet is joined by Sandy Evans (tenor sax), Mathew Clare (alto sax), Phillip Slater (trumpet) and Jeremy Borthwick (trombone) - an incredible lineup featuring some of the most creative and accomplished jazz performers in Sydney. "Among the inspiring line up of players on this performance," says Cutlan, "I want to make special mention of alto saxophonist Mathew Clare. This special musician died tragically young and isn't documented on many recordings. I'm thrilled that audiences will now be able to hear Mathew's highly emotive solo on Ascension, starting at 16:30." "I've often wondered what to do with these recordings over the years, wanting to make them publicly available, but reticent to commit to producing an album or compilation. I think there are some incredible performances among all three recordings, but the original Coltrane albums are a daunting yardstick to be measured against. I'm really happy that this last ABC recording is finally being released - this seems to be the most appropriate way to share the accomplishments of a band which certainly developed an exciting and individual identity, as it came to grips with this awe-inspiring repertoire." Tracklisting: 1. Blue Step (Paul Cutlan) 2. Equinox (John Coltrane) 3. Naima (John Coltrane) 4. Kaleidoscope (Tony Gorman) 5. Ascension (John Coltrane) Paul Cutlan – tenor saxophone (1, 5), bass clarinet (2, 3), E-flat clarinet (4) Andrew Robson – alto saxophone Adam Ponting – piano Steve Elphick & Steve Arié – bass Toby Hall – drums Plus (track 5 only): Sandy Evans – tenor saxophone Matthew Clare – alto saxophone Phillip Slater – trumpet Jeremy Borthwick – trombone

Why the camera on the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL is so great
Pocket-lint Promotion · 13 November 2018
What's on your list of must-have features for a smartphone? Good battery life, sure. Strong performance, of course. But I bet you won't get much further down that list before you come to the need for a great camera.
The latest phone from Google comes in two sizes, the Pixel 3 and the larger Pixel 3 XL. There are several differences in design and features but both have the same camera. And the camera is tremendous.

Why the Pixel cameras are so good
The flagship smartphone from Google builds on last year's success. Actually, Google's Pixel phones have had strong cameras since the first version, but last year's Pixel 2 was widely acclaimed as the best on any smartphone. Well, this one is better. The 12.2-megapixel camera is backed up by cutting-edge software to achieve clever features with one lens for which other phones need two.
It's great for special effects like bokeh, where your subject is in sharp focus and the background is elegantly blurred. Bokeh effects require precise recognition of foreground and background and the Pixel camera can achieve this perfectly, right down to details like your subject's hair. You can also adjust the level of blur after you've taken the photo.
Plenty of features
It's full of special features to make it effortless. Like Super Res Zoom which is brilliant for shots where you can't get quite as close. It means that if you zoom in before you shoot, the camera merges multiple images to deliver much better resolution than normal.
The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL will soon feature a mode called Night Sight. It's a feature that's coming soon, which helps you take photos in lower light without flash - suddenly your photo is bright enough to be enjoyable without unrealistic brightness or artificial effects.
Or a new motion tracking effect where you tap to focus on someone and if they move, it refocuses for you. Handy if your dog just won't keep still, say.
Smart AI to help you take better pictures
It's a very smart smartphone camera. The powerful processor on the Pixel 3 makes Artificial Intelligence (AI) possible. This means there's intelligence enough for a feature called Top Shot, which shoots multiple frames and then automatically works out which is best. AI means that it knows to ignore pictures where your subject is blinking or sneezing and can pick out the best one from the crop. Of course, you can override this if there's one you prefer, but it usually gets the very best one without your help.
Dual selfie cameras are on board. The twin 8-megapixel cameras make for better selfies. One of the two sensors is a wide-angle one so it's great for group selfies. It's good at making a group of eight people look good, easily.
There's also Photobooth, which will snap the selfie shutter when it sees you smile, so you don't need to try and think about pressing a button, just concentrate on looking your best. And if you want that delicate bokeh effect on your selfies, the front cameras on the Pixel 3 can make that happen, too.
The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL cameras are truly outstanding, winning plaudits from large numbers of users. There are other features, like high-resolution video, stabilisation so your footage looks smooth and much more. Overall, they make the cameras efficient, fast and capable, so you can forget about the technicalities and just think about framing your shot.

If I stop the script, the page finishes loading. But as soon as I click on a link to browse into a subforum or make a post, it happens again.
Just thought I should mention that. I can't really browse the forum while this is happening.
I'm using FireFox 3 Beta 3, but the browser hasn't been updated recently, and LD4All was working fine yesterday.
Okay, it looks like the problem is caused by today's date. It's Feb 29th, which is an unusual day (only occurs every leap year). Moogle reports that she began experiencing this same issue right after midnight (which was just a few minutes ago in her time zone), and recalls having a similar problem at SeaLife four years ago on this date.
It's clearly related to the Kin icon displayed at the top of the page, and the lack of a suitable icon for this day (I believe).
It took 5 minutes just to sign in and edit this post, so I think I'll take a break from LD4All for the rest of the day.
*Bruno joins the strike, tomorrow.
Indeed, this started happening to me too right after midnight.
I also use FireFox and I'm noticing things are much slower than usual today. However, I'm not experiencing any freezing. Yesterday was fine, though. Very likely having to do with Feb. 29 and all.
I removed the kin script temporarily.
I just noticed that it was back to normal, so I assumed you had seen the problem.
At least it only happens every four years, right?
Don't be silly, there is no such thing as February 29th.


astro.viten.no shows live the major celestial events in Norway 2011-2012. The last event was the Transit of Venus, June 6, 2012.
Why are the transits of Venus so rare? The orbit of Venus is inclined 3,4 degrees relative to the orbit of the Earth. Venus usually passes below or above the Sun when passing between the Earth and the Sun. A transit is only possible when Venus is situated close to the point of interception with the orbit of the Earth.
The blackest object we have observed: During the transit Venus waw blackest object that we have ever seen! The night side of Venus is not emitting visible light. The contrast to the very bright solar disk was extreme!
In the early afternoon the Moon started to enter the shadow cast by our planet. Even during the total phase some sunlight reached the Moon. The Moon therefore did not disappear from sight, but had a beautiful, red color. This is due to sunlight that passes through the atmosphere on the Earth. This happens where the Sun is setting or rising. The color of both the atmosphere and the eclipsed Moon reflects this.
If we had been situated on the Moon during the eclipse we would experience a total solar eclipse. The completely black night side of the Earth would be surrounded by a thin, red ring – the atmosphere.
The eclipse was total from 15.06 – 15.57 MET / local Norwegian time. For about one hour before and after the totality spectacular partial phases was visible when the Moon moves into and out of the shadow.
Underneath you can watch images from our webcast december 10.
It was possible to witness the close passage with amateur telescopes. 2005 Yu55 was closest at 00.28 MET on November 9, 2011. Its closes position to the Moon was 239 000 kilometers at 08.13 MET the same day.
It is not that rare that this asteroid comes close to the Earth, but it was at least 200 years since the last time it came this close. The velocity relative to us was 49 300 km/h.
The last time we know that such a large asteroid has come this close was in 1976. The next visit of this kind til take place in 2029 when 2001 WN5 is 0,6 lunar distances from Earth and in 2029 Apophis will be less than 30 000 kilometers from the surface of the Earth!
Underneath you can watch archived images from our live webcast.
Total lunar eclipses occurs when the Moon is crossing the shadow cast by the Earth. Some light from the Sun penetrates the atmosphere of the Earth and is scattered onto the Moon giving it the (usually) red color. From the surface of the Moon we would have experienced a total solar eclipse.
It might sound like a contradiction to have a solar eclipse in the middle of the night. But this was what happened in northern Norway, Sweden and Finland on June 1. Almost 60 % of the Sun was hidden by the Moon around midnight local time. A midnight Sun eclipse can only occur close to the poles and only during summer when the Sun never sets.
From time to time partial solar eclipses occur around the globe. When views through eclipse shades these eclipses can be quite beautiful. During large solar eclipses it becomes darker, and the light silvery. This time the beautiful reddish and yellow colors in the sky caused by the midnight Sun mixed with the effects of a 60 % (diameter) solar eclipse.
In Norway the eclipse began at 22:37 local time (20:37 UT) and ended at 00:22 (22:22 UT). Maximum eclipse was reached around 23:30 local time (21:30 UT).
The eclipse could be viewed from the Norwegian counties of Møre og Romsdal, Trøndelag, Nordland, Troms, Finnmark as well as Spitsbergen. Northern Norway and Spitsbergen enjoyed the best view.
Since the rotational axis of the Earth is tilted by 23.5 degrees areas located north of 67.5 degrees latitude (the Arctic Circle) experience a period each summer when the Sun does not set – it is a midnight Sun.
Animations and interactive exercises give an introduction to how northern lights are formed and to northern lights research.
Run a climate model to see how the climate probably will change in 100 years! See how far a polar bear roams over the course of a year!

Missed Credit Card Payment, What Do I Do?
No one intends to miss payments on their credit card. It's something that usually happens because you made a mistake. Maybe you've accidentally written the wrong account number on a check. Or mailed it to an incorrect address. If you're having really bad luck, that "mistake" could be that you've crunched the numbers and just can't afford to pay the credit card bill this month.
But take heart, because there are options available to you, whether your payment deadline has passed or you've realized you just can't cover the cost right now. What can you do if you miss a credit card payment?
The first thing to do if you've missed a credit card payment is to get on the phone with your credit card company. Talking to your credit card company isn't most people's first choice of how to spend an afternoon, but you'd be surprised how much it can help. Explain to the customer service representative that you just made a mistake, or that things are rough right now, and see what they can do. Feel free to mention things like how long you've been a customer with them, how few payments you've missed before (hopefully none!), and just generally convey to them that you are a loyal customer who sincerely wants to pay what you owe.
Ask if they can offer any help or suggestions. Ask to talk to higher-ups (but don't be too demanding – just say, "Would it be helpful if I talked to your supervisor, or is there someone else that you can transfer me to?"). Do whatever you can to stay in the credit card company's good graces. If you convince them that this is a one-time mistake and that you deserve forgiveness, you'll be able to avoid the worst results of a missed credit card payment: for example, you might keep them from reporting your late payment to a credit agency, and also you might be able to get some extra help or favors in removing any fees or other changes and restrictions that might have happened on your account. Many credit card companies raise your APR after a missed payment so that you end up continually owing them more money!
This advice is the exact opposite of the above tactic, but if your creditor won't help you out of the kindness of their hearts, it's time to bring out the big guns: tell them that you'll have to transfer your entire balance to another credit card. When they hear this, most creditors will cave, because they would rather keep you as a customer than deal with the potential loss of money that would mean to them.
Once you've done what you can to minimize the damage to your credit rating and avoid fees, you want to make sure you get your payment in fast. If you missed a credit card payment due to an oversight, pay immediately – you might even be able to do it over the phone. If you didn't pay because you're broke, do it as soon as you can scrounge up some money.
If you don't have autopay set up, do it now. Make sure that all of the information is correct to avoid sending payment to the wrong person or only paying off part of the bill and accruing interest on the rest. Is your problem that you have too little money and are overextended on your bills? There's a system for that, too – it's called budgeting.
Most people have enough money for their living expenses. What really happens is that we don't budget – or, even if we do, we don't stick to it or budget well enough. If it helps, create a "Monthly Budget" account and move money into it each month to cover your cost of living. Whatever's left, you can save or spend on anything you want.

Ghost-ciety Full Moon Halloween Night Hike!
Halloween is just around the corner, so let's celebrate by doing a full moon hike next week!
I'm thinking North Table Mountain in Golden is going to be a good spot, so we can get the full effect of the full moon.
When: Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 6:30 p.m.
Why: Because it's a full moon and is nearly Halloween, of course!

Le château d'Hauterive est situé sur la commune de Castres, dans le Tarn, en région Occitanie (France). Il est inscrit au titre de monument historique par arrêté du .

Historique

Cité dès le  sur les rives du Thoré, à quelques kilomètres en amont de Castres, le château d'Hauterive appartient alors à la famille de Montfort, qui s'en est emparé à travers la croisade contre les albigeois, même si l'édifice serait plus ancien encore. Il passe ensuite dans la famille d'Hautpoul lors d'une alliance entre les deux familles.

Le château d'Hauterive conserve beaucoup d'éléments du , ainsi que du , comme une porterie avec archères et douves. Néanmoins, le château médiéval a été profondément remanié, même si le plan général reflète encore sa forme ancienne. À la Renaissance, de grandes ouvertures à meneaux sculptés ont été ouvertes. Au , le logis est remanié et deux tours carrées encadrent l'aile principale. L'aile sud est supprimée au  au profit de la continuité sur le parc. Après  la  maison  de  Monftort,  le  château  entre  ensuite  pour  plus  de  300  ans  dans  la  maison  d'Hautpoul,  quand  la  sœur  de  Philippe  de  Montfort,  comte  de  Castres,  se  marie  avec  Raymond d' Hautpoul.

Depuis la fin de l'Ancien Régime (et encore aujourd'hui), le château d'Hauterive appartient à la famille de Villeneuve, car acheté vers 1776 par Jean-Joseph de Villeneuve. Parmi les personnalités de la famille figure Jeanne-Émilie de Villeneuve, religieuse canonisée en 2009. On trouve aussi Léontine de Villeneuve, dite l'Occitanienne de Chateaubriand, dernier amour du réputé auteur.

Description
Du château médiéval, il reste le plan en carré, les douves alimentées directement par une nappe phréatique,leur plan d'eau étant très supérieur à celui du Thoré, ainsi qu'une dernière tour conservant les meurtrières et l'aspect austère des anciennes forteresses militaires. Tout le reste a été remanié aux XVIIe et XIXe siècle (par l'architecte Louis Garros), avec l'ajout de tours et autres. La cour en U est fermée par un portail en pierre taillée, surmonté des armes de la famille de Villeneuve.

Here we go.. This years Frozen Hog is February 2, 2013.
Tshirts available on the registration site for $10 until Jan 18. A small number of shirts will be available for purchase at the race first come first serve.
Beginning with the legendary LeMans running start, racers will sprint to their bikes, jump on and complete a short shakeout loop before heading out onto the course.
The format will be the same as last year, a "snow crit". Racers will race a 2-3 mile course, completing laps for a predetermined amount of time. This allows us to control the length of the race regardless of conditions.
Firm, fast course = Lots of laps.
Sloppy, slow course = fewer laps.
Last year with "good" conditions Sport racers completed three laps, Experts completed five.
Sport,Junior, and Clydesdale racers should plan on racing for approximately 60 mins, Experts for approximately 90 mins.
Click here to view the results of the 10th Annual Bike Peddler's Frozen Hog Winter Mountain Bike Race.
Come Support Chris and Kathy Sherwin.
Chris and Kathy Sherwin have been a part of the Utah Mountain Bike and Cyclocross community for well over 10 years. Chris introduced Kathy to riding and then racing on the trails of Deer Valley resort, where they both worked (Chris still works at Deer Valley where he is in charge of the Mountain Hosts). As Kathy's pro career took off, Chris gravitated towards other activities, namely Kite boarding, on water or snow.
Chris' legendary energy levels started to take a hit in 2011, after significant amounts of tests, in December, he was diagnosed with kidney cancer. On January 3rd, he had surgery to remove the kidney along with some lymph nodes. He is currently recovering at the Huntsman Cancer Hospital.
We are excited to announce that the 10th Annual Frozen Hog MTB race on January 28th will be a fundraiser for Chris and Kathy. $5 of each entry will go to the Sherwin's. A n opportunity drawing will also be held.
Yes boys and girls it is time once again for the Frozen Hog Winter Mountain Bike Race. The 2012 edition will take place on January 28.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Frozen Hog. To celebrate, we are unveiling an all new format.
This year's race is going to be a snow crit.
Glad you asked. Racers will negotiate a slightly shorter course than in previous years. Instead of racing a set distance or number of laps for time, all racers will be on course for a predetermined amount of time + 1 lap. Similar to a criterium race, or cyclocross race. You will not receive a time, but you will receive a place.Why the change?
Another good question. In the past, snow conditions have had a huge effect on the course and racers. In 2010, temperatures in the 40's and a light rain greeted us on race day. The snow began to melt, and the course got slushy. So slushy, that the average time for the shorter sport course was approximately 1h45m. One year later on a nearly identical course, lighter snow cover and much colder temps made for much faster conditions. So much so, that the Men's expert winner Greg Gibson completed two laps in 29m55s. See the problem?
The new format allows for variable conditions, creates a much more exciting, spectator friendly race, and ensures that every racer goes home with an exhausted, stupid grin on their face.What else is new?
Two words: CASH MONEY. That's right, this years winners are going home with a little performance bonus.
Also, look for changes in categories. Basically, there will be fewer categories this year. Rather than 14 categories with anywhere from 3-25 racers there will be six. Men's and Women's Expert, Men's and Women's Sport, Junior's (17 and under), and Clydesdales(>215lbs). Juniors and Clydesdales are welcome to "cat up" into any other category that they feel competitive in.
The crowd favorite Le Mans start is back. All racers will begin on foot and run around the start loop to the staging area where their bike is waiting. This will shake racers out into a line before they head onto the singletrack.
More details and online registration to follow. Check back here and make sure to like our facebook page.


text: The topic of this problem is operational amplifier circuits. And the problem is to find v out in the circuit shown below, it's a circuit with multiple resistors in it, one voltage source, an independent 12 volt source Two op-amps. And the output is measured across a load resistance which is 40 kilohms at the output of the second op amp. In order to solve this problem, we have to use the properties of an ideal op amp. So we start with the symbol for an ideal op-amp. It has an inverting input with a current associated with it, i minus, and a voltage associated with it, v minus and also has a non-inverting input with a current i plus and a voltage v plus associated with it. It has an output and a ground. We know that the properties of the ideal op-amp are that the currents at both of the inputs. Are 0. We also know that the voltages at the inverting and the non-inverting input are equal. Those are the two of properties of an ideal op-amp that we used solve linear circuits. So we're going to use those along with our knowledge of nodal analysis and mesh analysis In order to solve this two op-amp circuit that we have in this problem. So let's start with finding voltage at the input, so if we can find the voltage at this non inverting input of the first op amp then we know the volts is at the inverting input in the open, and that will allow us to work further back into our circuit, ultimately getting back to our voltage drop across to our 40 kilohm resistor. So, a some are currents into this node, into the V plus node, into our non-inverting input node. Let's call this node 1. So if we sum currents into node 1 then we have first of all a current through the 40k ohm resistor which is minus 12 minus V plus Divided by 40 kilohms. We also have the current which is flowing up through the 20 kilohm resistor and that current is going to be zero volts because this is a ground point in our circuit the bottom of the circuit. Zero volts minus v plus Over 20k. And we have the current which is flowing out of the non-inverting input. We know that through ideal op-amp put that current equals to 0. And so the sum those using Kirchhoff's current law That node one is equal to zero. And so it's an equation which just has the one variable, that is the voltage at the other non-inverting input of our first op-amp. If we solve for that voltage the plus We get minus 4 volts. So it's minus 4 volts at node 1 and it also tells us that it's minus 4 volts at the inverting input as well. So we need to work further back into our circuit. So we rely on the first property of the op amp because a little bit further into the circuit. That is the current into each one of those inputs of the op amp is always equals to zero. If that is the case, then there is no current flowing through this ten kiloOhms resistor because it is the current flowing into the. Inverting input of our first op amp. There's no current flowing through the ten column resistor therefore there's no voltage drop across a ten column resistor. So what that tells us is this voltage between the 10 and 20 kilom resistor at the top of our circuit is also a -4 volts at that point. Now we can use that to work a little bit further into our circuit. Let's look at our circuit a little bit closer. If we look at V out, V out is measured across the 40 kilohm resistor. It's a voltage at this output node of our second op amp. We also, so there's no voltage drops between these two points along the feedback path of our second map. So, that also tells us that V out is the voltage at this point in our circuit at the top of our circuit is equal to the voltage at the inverting input of our second amp map. We know that that voltage is the voltage at the noninverting input of our second op amp as well using our second properties of an op amp. So we have a V out which it can be measured, at this point, in front of our second op amp. So that helps us a little bit. because what we can do is we can start summing voltages or summing currents in this case into nodes and come up with equations which allow us to solve for V out. Let's see if we can do that. Let's look at the top node which is at minus 4 volts first. And let's call that node one, or sorry, so we've already added node one, let's call this one node two. So lets look at node two then we're going to use Kirchhoff's Current Law at node two and we're going to sum the current into node two. So it's a current, first of all, through 10 kilohm resistor which we know is zero, it's the current through the 20 kilohm resistor Flowing up through the 20k ohm resistor. Let's call this node 3 down below. So in this case the current up through the 20k ohm resistor is going to be V sub 3- (-4v) divided by 20 kiloms that's a current up through our 20 kilom resister. We also have the current flowing through the 20 kilom resister at the top of the circuit it's going to be v out minus a -4 divided by 20 kiloms for the current flowing into node 2 so v out Minus a -4 volts divided by 20 kiloms. V sub zero minus a -4 volts divided by 20 k. And that's all the currents are flowing into node 2 because we know that the current flowing through the 10 kilo amp is equal to zero when I add it in there just for completeness and that is equal to zero. So that's an equation which has two unknowns as V sub 3 is an unknown and also has V out a unknown. Let's look at this node where we have V out measured. Let's call this node 4. So let's sum the currents into node 4. So all of these are summing currents into the nodes. So if we send the current into node 4, we first of all have the current through the 10 kilo of the 40 kilo resistor is going to be 0 volts minus v out over 40k. We have the current flowing left or right from node 3. To node 4 through the 20k ohm resistor. So that's going to be V3- V0 divided by 20k. And we have the current which is flowing out of the noninverting input of the second op amp and we know that current is equal to zero through the properties of an ideal op amp. Those are all the currents flowing into node four and the sums is equal to zero. So now we have a second equation which is independent of our other equation that, if we used these two equations simultaneously to solve for v sub 3 and v out, we can do that. And so, v out could be determined by finding these voltage levels. So if we use these two equations to solve for V out simultaneously then we end up with a V out which is equal to two thirds V sub F. V sub 3 And that's equal to minus 16-fifths of a volt.


Great experience! Would recommend highly! The Chi Institute is beautiful and very user friendly! Staff was very professional and courteous! Had an awesome time!
The facility was beautiful and the staff was very attentive and caring. I felt very welcome the moment I walked through the doors.
