Máiréad Ní Chróinín is the new Druid Artist in Residence at NUIG
4 weeks ago	0 Briain Kelly
One of Galway's greatest homegrown makers of theatre Dr Máiréad Ní Chróinín has been named as the new Druid Artist in Residence at NUIG.
Working in close partnership with Druid Artistic Director, Dr Garry Hynes and other artists from Galway's famed theatre group, Dr Ní Chróinín will coordinate the Druid Academy partnership with NUI Galway.
"As the co-director of an independent theatre company based in the West, Druid has been a huge inspiration and I am very excited to now work with them directly and with NUI Galway," Máiréad Ní Chróinín said.
A Galway native, Máiréad Ní Chróinín established Moonfish Theatre, with her sister Ionia, in 2006.
The company has created work in English and Irish, toured their work nationally and internationally, presenting at festivals including the Edinburgh Fringe, Galway Theatre Festival, Galway International Arts Festival, Dublin Theatre Festival and the Dublin Fringe.
Máiréad Ní Chróinín Druid Artist in Residence at NUI Galway
Moonfish's acclaimed, bi-lingual adaptation of Joseph O'Connor's Star of the Sea toured twice in Ireland in 2015 and 2017, and toured to the US in 2018.
Their upcoming show, Redemption Falls, is freely adapted from the novel by Joseph O'Connor, and is a co-production with Galway International Arts Festival, the Abbey Theatre, and Town Hall Theatre, Galway.
It will have its World Premiere in An Taibhdhearc during the 2019 Galway International Arts Festival and will transfer to the Peacock stage at the Abbey Theatre during Dublin Theatre Festival 2019.
Dr Ní Chroinín's experience will be a valuable part of the Academy partnership, where the Druid Theatre imparts their
This academy partnership was created to allow the Druid Theatre to impart their methodology to undergraduate and postgraduate students.
It focuses on ensemble as a mode of performance, rigorous critical analysis of theatre, by both practitioners and audiences, and an awareness of the importance of the audience wherever you are.
The classes cover a range of topics ranging from casting, to direction, to set design, complementing third level drama and theatre training at NUIG.
"The Druid Academy was borne out of a vision to foster a new generation of theatre makers in the west of Ireland," Garry Hynes said.
"Dr Ní Chróinín's dedication and experience make her the ideal candidate to continue our commitment to this key relationship between Druid and NUI Galway."
Dr Charlotte McIvor, head of Drama and Theatre Studies at NUIG said that working with the Druid Academy is "one of the most distinctive features of our academic programmes".
"Dr Ní Chróinín's career to date epitomises the values of Druid Theatre through her own commitment to working rigorously as part of an ensemble and creating theatre that responds directly to the West of Ireland."
"We are thrilled to be continuing this partnership through this exciting appointment."

Homeless Californians join in a lawsuit to mandate Los Angeles provide shelter for thousands
By Madeline Holcombe, CNN
Published 5:50 AM EDT, Thu March 12, 2020
Voting while homeless isn't easy. Los Angeles is changing that
An alliance of both housed and homeless people has filed a lawsuit against Los Angeles to order thousands of beds be provided for the unsheltered.
The complaint filed Tuesday by the LA Alliance for Human Rights accuses the city of neglecting its responsibilities and investing resources in approaches that are too slow to address the homelessness problem in Los Angeles. The suit hopes to mandate that the city and county provide services for the homeless population including training, healthcare and shelter in a faster time frame.
"We really are looking to catalyze change on a systemic level," said Elizabeth Mitchell, an attorney who filed the suit on behalf of the LA Alliance for Human Rights. "We are not looking to get rich. We are not looking for money. We really are looking for change."
Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer's office said it is reviewing the lawsuit and does not have a comment at this time.
Despite major investment in combating the crisis, the homeless population in Los Angeles County increased to almost 60,000 people in 2019, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority said in a June report.
And about 75% of those people are unsheltered, according to the complaint. In comparison, New York City – which has a right to shelter – has an unsheltered rate of 5%, Mitchell said.
"Officials in both the County and City have gone to great lengths in the last couple years to address this crisis, and their efforts are impressive and commendable; yet much more needs to be done," the suit says.

The problem, Mitchell said, is that Los Angeles City and County are investing in expensive programs like permanent housing, but with three people dying of the homelessness crisis per day the problem is outpacing their solutions.
To reach an additional 22,000 beds in a matter of months, the suit suggests that the city and county work together to explore options like shared housing, tiny houses, 3D printed homes and "other financially feasible options that enable rapid sheltering along with wrap-around services to empower those experiencing homelessness to reintegrate with their communities," Mitchell said in a press release.
The suit began as a grassroots effort. Downtown residents formed the LA Alliance for Human Rights last summer in response to the suffering around them and in hopes of finding new ways to "break through the barriers," the release said.
Instead of fighting through bureaucracies, the movement turned to the courts – a system that could move more quickly and provide outside accountability, Mitchell said.
Speed is important in an issue that has economic, environmental and criminal impacts on the area, but Mitchell said everyone involved is concerned about the issue from a humanitarian perspective.
"Whether a person is on the streets of their own accord or because they lost their jobs, people can still say this shouldn't be the case and we shouldn't be leaving our people in the streets," Mitchell said.
CNN's Stella Chan contributed to this report.

I have two major grammatical mistakes that have developed more into a habit than lack of knowledge. Of course, we know the difference but we have been doing the same repeatedly that the error has become natural to us. My first big mistake is the use of "it's" and "its". As the title suggests, Popular Word Contraction versus parts of speech, one of the above is a contraction and the other is a part of speech. Several months ago I wrote a hub that had my mistake using it's instead of its and a very good friend emailed me to remind me of the difference.
My other big mistake is forgetting the apostrophe when using some contractions. I will elaborate more on this as I explain further, but first I must define what a contraction is and what parts of speech are.
This list contains just a few of the most popular contractions used in every day writing. I am guilty of using them incorrectly and so are many writers. We have to keep in mind that we aspire to be authors (at least some of us) and we need to make sure our grammar is perfect. A freelancer like myself needs to be able to tell the difference between contractions and parts of speech because work will be rejected by clients for such mistakes.
What I want to focus on are the noun and pronoun.
A noun is the name given to a person, animal, place or object. Eg. Las Vegas, James, the ball, the horse.
A pronoun is a word that functions as a noun, like a substitute noun. Usually it is used in the same sentence or paragraph, especially when the noun or subject is already established. Examples are: Its, your(s), their, mine, my, I, her, him. There are different types of pronouns that would need an entire hub to define.
It's a common mistake we make using contractions instead of parts of speech and vice-versa. As I mentioned before, my biggest grammatical error is using the word "it's" in place if "its".
Here are some Parts of Speech commonly used interchangeable with contractions by mistake.
Their(s) is another possessive pronoun that many of us misuse. I have seen "there" used in its place many times and I know why. There fits into most parts of speech. Eg. "She is there" is an adverb. "There are many hubs on HP" is a pronoun. "When I get there" is a noun. The word 'their' refers to more than one persons and is usually used when those persons are absent. So "their books are still here" tells you that more than one persons have left their books. If those same persons were here then it would be, "Your books are still here".
There as I mentioned above is a versatile word that can be used in various ways. it changes with every subject it represents. "There is one more bagel on the plate" is used as a pronoun. "They are there now" is used as an adverb. This word is sometimes mistakenly used in place of "their" or "they're".
I just wanted to point out our common misuse of some of these words. I too make this mistake. Thank you for your patience and hope I have helped in some way. I figured since we are growing as writers we need to spend a little more time checking our grammar to make sure we are using the right parts of speech, contractions and tenses.

EU Responsibility in the International System: Setting the Stage
The conference "EU Responsibility in the International System: Setting the Stage" of the EURIS Jean Monnet Project will be held in collaboration with the Hellenic Branch of the International Law Association and with the support of the Faculty of Law of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki as an online event on Friday, 14 May 2021.
|To register click here|
The inaugural conference of the Jean Monnet Project "EU Responsibility in the International System (EURIS)" will concentrate on an introduction to the topic of EU liability/responsibility from the perspective of international and EU law.
There will be three broad themes that will revolve around (1) the ILC Draft Articles on the international responsibility of States (2001) and international organizations (2011) (evolution of drafts, choices made, omissions, critique with an emphasis to the criticism articulated by the EU to the ARIO); (2) the EU (and EU law) choices and stance with regard to its responsibility/liability (internal dimension and mechanisms, contractual and extra-contractual liability of the EU, EU perceptions on its responsibility in the international realm – vis-à-vis third actors – and choices made); (3) cases where multiple actors are involved in the commission of an internationally wrongful act with an emphasis on shared responsibility and its usefulness for developing a consistent approach to EU and EU MS responsibility (models of shared responsibility, complicity, consequences of the commission of an international wrongful act in a shared responsibility scenario etc.).
The purpose of the conference is to highlight the points of convergence and divergence between the general rules on the responsibility of IOs and the special practices followed by the EU, as well as to underline those crucial parameters that bring together the two models (linking the EU legal order to the international one), such as the lex specialis principle, the reference to the internal rules of an IO with an emphasis on the relevant Union rules, the practice of mixed agreements and the responsibility allocation patterns that can be discerned.

Pierre-Louis Chovet is a 16 years old's athlete, a french talented driver born on the April 11, 2002 in Avignon and residing in Monaco.
Keen of various sports such as motocross, BMX, mountain biking, skiing, climbing and tennis since his young ages: thanks to a friend professional driver, Pierre-Louis gets passionate by racing cars in 2011 since his first experience of the Monaco F1 Grand Prix.
He participated in his first ever race in motorsport on the track of Valence, on February 2014, and he managed to reach later in the year his first Pole Position and he won his first karting competition on the famous racing track of Brignoles, the one of the Bianchi and Montagny's families.
The next step in his mind was to conquer a title: this is what Pierre-Louis achieved in 2017 with both Junior and Senior French titles.
Pierre-Louis is considered as a very talented and successful driver despite a short experience in motorsport races: winning his first single-seater race at 15 years old and after only 4 years of experience in go-kart is unique in the world!
For his first day in a Formula 3 Pierre-Louis was really impressive with good speed and constant pace. He finished this super fun day winning the best timelap and congrats from the Campos racing team !
Victory at the final 2018 meeting in Paul Ricard race track.
The French F4 championship finished on the Paul Ricard circuit. A very positive meeting for Pierre-Louis who finished the season on a very positive way being back on the top step of the podium in race 2, one year after his first win in the category and achieving a superb final with no less than 8 overtakings , the best timelap and the best pace in the race.
He got 2 podiums in the F4 FFSA series at Spa-Francorchamps.
After a busy first part of the French F4 championship clouded by technical problems, Pierre-Louis got back on the podium in Spa-Francorchamps and in Jerez with spectacular overtakings.
Spotted by Venturi Formula E Team Monaco, Pierre-Louis was the youngest driver selected for the first Academy preparing the young talents to the new Formula E technologies.
Thanks to his great results he became one of their simulator drivers with Dorian Boccolacci for example.
A first victory in single-seater at only 15 years old on the F1 circuit Paul Ricard – Le Castellet.
For his debut in single-seater, and after only few days of testing, Pierre-Louis managed to take the win after a start from the 3rd position during the final French F4 championship meeting of the 2017 season with great competitors !
Junior French FFSA go-kart champion: a great championship with 5 races with 20 selected talented drivers aged 14/15 by the French Federation. The events were organised with the same chassis & engines for everybody.
Victory at the Senior French Championship on the Lavilledieu circuit. For his first race in this Elite category on a very challenging track, Pierre-Louis set the Pole Position by 6 thousands of second.
Thank to the great work of the PBM Team of Renato Merlin, Pierre-Louis won the semi-final and the final: a great achievement at 15 years old !
For his debut with the CRG Official Team, with 110 others Junior competitors, Pierre-Louis managed to reached the final race among the 32 best drivers for his first European Championship race.
Starting from the 30th position, he crossed the finish line at the 17th spot, a very decent result.
With his continued hard work and drive, Pierre-Louis set and still holds the track record on the famous Lonato circuit in the Junior Category.
Racing with Go-kart Team, Dino Chiesa/Crg Factory 2016.
Thanks to fellow driver Adrien Tambay, Pierre-Louis was invited to a test week-end on the Lonato circuit next to Lago di Garda in presence of the officials international teams.
He was spotted by the Team Principal Dino Chiesa (the Lewis Hamilton & Nico Rosberg's mentor) and invited come aboard the famous CRG Team for the season!
During the IAME World Championship at Le Mans, racing for the first time as a Junior (with a bigger go-kart than the young categories), Pierre-Louis finished in 10th position at the qualification, only 3/10th of a second from the Pole Position!
For his second participation to the French Championship, Pierre-Louis was one of the favorites to win the Cadet category title. He finished second for the Pole Position and also won several qualifying heats.
Unfortunately after competing among the top 5 drivers in the final, he was forced to retire before the checkered flag.
After less than one year of racing, Pierre-Louis earned his first Pole Position, despite unfavorable weather conditions.
This was the beginning of his marked talent, over taking Theo Pourchaire, the French Champion in Minime & Cadet category 2013 & 2014.
For his first championship, Pierre-Louis finished 2nd at the South of France Championship with great battles on track against the more experienced driver Arnaud Malizia: spotted by his team, Pierre-Louis would be integrated for the 2015 season after a test day in Brignoles.
6 months after being introduced to the world of motorsport racing, Pierre-Louis registered to his first go-kart race on the famous circuit of Valence where Jenson Button reached the second position during the 1995 World Championship. He came away with a 4th place finish. This would mark the beginning of a successful career in motorsport for Pierre-Louis.
Having sold his motocross bike, Pierre-Louis bought his first go-kart from Soheil Ayari, a French successful driver in F3000 and winner of the Macau GP.
His introduction on the Brignoles circuit, he was accompanied by GT driver, Stephane Ortelli, winner of the 1990 Volant Elf and the 1998 24H of Le Mans.
Starting with the 2019 season, Johnny Cecotto (F2 winner at Monaco GP and F1 driver) took over my management as well as Markus Lehner (entrepreneur and private investor) is looking after my economics. Both support me exclusively on my way to F1, our team is now strong and efficient. Join us on this wonderful journey to Formula 1!

Sergio Salvaneschi: My musical studies started in the 60's with the Master Sergio Massaron, teacher at Conservatory and orchestra leader. The production refers to musical pieces both instrumental and vocal. In the 70's I studied with the Master Manfredi Argento, orchestra leader. I started also the study of the operatic vocality with Renata Carosio, teacher of improvement at the Scala Theatre, these studies allowed me, in the following years, to produce also works in the vocal area. In the beginning of 2000, I participated in a competition of composition in the form of contemporary music at the International Academy of Music in Milan at the Villa Simonetta, a course in IRMUS area, with Alessandro Solbiati as a master of the course. Later I participated at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan to a triennial course of improvement with the Master Alessandro Solbiati. I participated in a master-class with the cellist Dindo and in a composition master-class with Master Stroppa. Since 2003 I started to produce works of contemporary music with various instrumental staff, duets, trios, quartet, quintet, and so on till triptych concerts for piano and orchestra, of titles "Caos", "Nebulosa" and "Materia". These compositions were published in 2011/2012. My compositions have been performed at the Conservatory in Napoli, Conservatory in Avellino, with prestigious performers, at clarinet Gaetano Russo, also orchestra leader of Scarlatti orchestra from Napoli, Francesco Solombrino violin, Gabriele Pieranunzi violin, Ricardo Serrano horn, Simonetta Tancredi piano, Nicola Cassese saxophone. At the Conservatory of Napoli it a workshop of contemporary music was developed where I participated alongside Teresa Procaccini. Some of my other compositions been performed in Milan at the rest house for musicians G. Verdi, and for the friends of Loggione of the Scala Theatre, with relief performers such as violinist Eriko Tuschihashi, Antonio Mastalli, Duccio Beluffi, cellist Yuriko Mikami, Alexandre Zyumbrovskiy, Viola Elena, Faccani and Christof Emanuel Langheim, double bass Andrea Sala, at piano Simonetta Tancredi, at flute Alessandra Giura Longo. In 2010, at the Archeological Museum in Napoli a pianistic festival took place, dedicated to the bicentenary of the birth of "Chopin and Schumann", where my pianistic Suites "delle dissonanze" were performed to great public and critical acclaim. MY MUSICAL THOUGHT From my viewpoint, a musical idea takes origin from different aspects: the musical language, the harmonic prevalence, where the melody emerges out of complex harmonies and floating sound images, thus becoming an abstract architecture continuously changing and developing.Another aspect of my music composition is to imagine a series of musical phrases of limited length, which are ultimately converging at the closing, which is not always linear. Due to this choice, my music requires a very careful listening, because such complex architectures will, time after time, deploy a wide variety of sound images, which are not easily identifiable at a first listening; I suggest therefore to listen to my music more than once. For the performers: my music form allows a certain degree of freedom while interpreting it, and the apparent formal rigidity should not prevent a personal interpretation which, from time to time, may change in the performer. My piano works are the compendious of what has just been explained; for more complex ensembes, up to the orchestral works, I would suggest not to let the solfeggio prevail in the execution, but to let the complexity of the rhythmic/sound narration emerge, clearing it of all academic superstructures. The conductor should require a performance that is in line with my musical thought, specifying that, almost always, the formal base is the contrappunto fugato, and I do also call the attention on the use of the medieval form of cantus firmus. There is then a relevant use of percussion instruments, even with solo interventions, and not just with the function of following the harmonic patterns, which is typical of classicism. I hope that these short notes will be of help to everyone.

Not to be confused with carbolic acid, an antiquated name for phenol.
Carbonic acid, which is a weak acid, forms two kinds of salts: the carbonates and the bicarbonates. In geology, carbonic acid causes limestone to dissolve, producing calcium bicarbonate, which leads to many limestone features such as stalactites and stalagmites.
It was long believed that carbonic acid could not exist as a pure compound. However, in 1991 it was reported that NASA scientists had succeeded in making solid H2CO3 samples.
The hydration equilibrium constant at 25 °C is called Kh, which in the case of carbonic acid is [H2CO3]/[CO2] ≈ 1.7×10−3 in pure water and ≈ 1.2×10−3 in seawater. Hence, the majority of the carbon dioxide is not converted into carbonic acid, remaining as CO2 molecules. In the absence of a catalyst, the equilibrium is reached quite slowly. The rate constants are 0.039 s−1 for the forward reaction (CO2 + H2O → H2CO3) and 23 s−1 for the reverse reaction (H2CO3 → CO2 + H2O). The addition of two molecules of water to CO2 would give orthocarbonic acid, C(OH)4, which exists only in minute amounts in aqueous solution.
Addition of base to an excess of carbonic acid gives bicarbonate (hydrogen carbonate). With excess base, carbonic acid reacts to give carbonate salts.
Bicarbonate is an intermediate in the transport of CO2 out of the body by respiratory gas exchange. The hydration reaction of CO2 is generally very slow in the absence of a catalyst, but red blood cells contain carbonic anhydrase, which increases the reaction rate, producing bicarbonate (HCO3−) dissolved in the blood plasma. This catalysed reaction is reversed in the lungs, where it converts the bicarbonate back into CO2 and allows it to be expelled. This equilibration plays an important role as a buffer in mammalian blood. A 2016 theoretical report suggests that carbonic acid may play a pivotal role in protonating various nitrogen bases in blood serum.
The oceans of the world have absorbed almost half of the CO2 emitted by humans from the burning of fossil fuels. It has been estimated that the extra dissolved carbon dioxide has caused the ocean's average surface pH to shift by about −0.1 unit from pre-industrial levels. This is known as ocean acidification, even though the ocean remains basic.
Ka1 = 2.5×10−4; pKa1 = 3.6 at 25 °C.
Ka(app) = 4.47×10−7; pK(app) = 6.35 at 25 °C and ionic strength = 0.0.
Whereas this apparent pKa is quoted as the dissociation constant of carbonic acid, it is ambiguous: it might better be referred to as the acidity constant of dissolved carbon dioxide, as it is particularly useful for calculating the pH of CO2-containing solutions. A similar situation applies to sulfurous acid (H2SO3), which exists in equilibrium with substantial amounts of unhydrated sulfur dioxide.
Ka2 = 4.69×10−11; pKa2 = 10.329 at 25 °C and ionic strength = 0.0.
In the total range of pressure, the pH is always much lower than pKa2 (= 10.3) so that the CO32− concentration is always negligible with respect to HCO3− concentration. In fact, CO32− plays no quantitative role in the present calculation (see remark below).
, the pH is close to the one of pure water (pH = 7), and the dissolved carbon is essentially in the HCO3− form.
atm), we get a slightly acidic solution (pH = 5.7), and the dissolved carbon is now essentially in the CO2 and HCO3− forms.
~ 2.5 atm), we get a relatively acidic medium (pH = 3.7) with a high concentration of dissolved CO2. These features contribute to the sour and sparkling taste of these drinks.
Between 2.5 and 10 atm, the pH crosses the pKa1 value (3.60), giving [H2CO3] > [HCO3−] at high pressures.
A plot of the equilibrium concentrations of these different forms of dissolved inorganic carbon (and which species is dominant) as a function of the pH of the solution is known as a Bjerrum plot.
It was long believed that carbonic acid could not exist as a pure compound. However, in 1991 scientists at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (USA) succeeded in making solid H2CO3 samples. They did so by exposing a frozen mixture of water and carbon dioxide to high-energy proton radiation, and then warming to remove the excess water. The carbonic acid that remained was characterized by infrared spectroscopy. The fact that the carbonic acid was prepared by irradiating a solid H2O + CO2 mixture, or even by irradiation of dry ice alone, has given rise to suggestions that H2CO3 might be found in outer space or on Mars, where frozen ices of H2O and CO2 are found, as well as cosmic rays. It was announced in 1993 that solid carbonic acid had been created by a cryogenic reaction of potassium bicarbonate and HCl dissolved in methanol. Later work showed that in fact the methyl ester had been formed, but other methods were successful. Theoretical calculations showed that a single molecule of water can catalyze the decomposition of a gas-phase carbonic acid molecule to carbon dioxide and water. In the absence of water, the dissociation of gaseous carbonic acid has been predicted to be very slow, with a half-life of 180,000 years. This only applies if the molecules are few and far between, because it has also been predicted that gas-phase carbonic acid will catalyze its own decomposition by forming dimers, which then break apart into two molecules each of water and carbon dioxide.
For a while it was thought that there were two polymorphs of solid carbonic acid, called α and β. The polymorph denoted β-carbonic acid was prepared by heating alternating layers of glassy aqueous solutions of bicarbonate and acid in vacuum, which causes protonation of the bicarbonate, followed by removal of the solvent. The previously suggested α-carbonic acid, which was prepared by the same technique using methanol rather than water as a solvent, was later shown to be a monomethyl ester CH3OCOOH.

40 Years Ago: Ace Frehley Releases His Final Kiss Single
Matthew Wilkening Published: August 24, 2020
By the time Kiss released "Talk to Me" on August 24, 1980, their original lineup had already lost one member and would soon lose another.
After spending the second half of the '70s as one of the most popular rock bands on the planet, the band's career was already in such sharp decline that "Talk to Me" - the second single from 1980's Unmasked - wasn't even released in the U.S.
Interpersonal relations within Kiss were also in bad shape. The album was their second in a row on which founding drummer Peter Criss was secretly replaced by session veteran Anton Fig. Frustrated by his role in the group and battling addiction issues, Criss officially departed Kiss in May 1980 and was replaced by Eric Carr two months later.
Another defection was fast approaching. "Talk to Me" was the second Kiss single to feature guitarist Ace Frehley on lead vocals, but he played his final show with the band less than four months after the single's Aug. 24, 1980, release.
Listen to Kiss' 'Talk to Me'
Overexposure and an increasing flirtation with pop and disco resulted in Kiss losing much of their loyal following. But as the ship was sinking, Frehley's personal stock was rising. Initially reluctant to sing on even the songs he wrote, the guitarist finally got behind the mic for 1977's "Shock Me," which quickly became a fan favorite.
When the splintering group simultaneously released separate solo albums the following year, Frehley's was widely regarded as the best of the four. It also spawned the biggest hit single, a cover of Hello's "New York Groove."
So when the band returned to the studio, he was given lead vocals on three of Dynasty's nine songs in 1979 and another three on the follow-up, Unmasked.
While the other members of Kiss look back at the era with disdain - Paul Stanley even referred to Unmasked as a "pretty crappy album" - Frehley remained proud of his work. "I again aced three songs on the record," he wrote in his 2011 autobiography, No Regrets. "Talk to Me" "became a big hit in Australia, and I performed it live in concert around the globe."
Frehley, who covered the Rolling Stones' "2,000 Man" on Dynasty, credited that band's guitarist for inspiring "Talk to Me." "That came together pretty quick," he said in 2004's Kiss: Behind the Mask. "I used a special tuning on that song, either a G or a D tuning, like Keith Richards would do."
Kiss' plummeting popularity kept them from attempting a U.S. tour in support of Unmasked. But the album's sugary lead single, "Shandi," which barely cracked the Top 50 in the States, become a surprise hit overseas, especially in Australia, where it reached No. 5. The band enjoyed a brief return to superstardom and fan mania during its November 1980 tour of the country, complete with sold-out shows, gossip-column headlines and fans gathering outside hotel rooms.
"Talk to Me" rode this wave with some degree of success, reaching the Top 40 in Australia, Germany and the Netherlands; it even made No. 10 in Switzerland. But as gratifying as the brief overseas popularity was, everybody in Kiss realized the band needed to change its sound for the next album.
But when Stanley and bassist Gene Simmons ditched the original back-to-basics plan in favor of what became the ambitious and doomed 1981 concept album Music From 'The Elder', a frustrated Frehley mentally checked out. He refused to join Kiss in the studio, contributing his guitar and vocal tracks through the mail from his home.
Just like Criss appeared on Unmasked's cover, Frehley's face showed up on the artwork for 1982's Creatures of the Night, even though he was already out of the band. He was officially replaced by Vinnie Vincent when Kiss toured in support of the album later that year.
Frehley and Criss returned to the group for a successful reunion tour in 1996. The guitarist even performed "Talk to Me" during the Japanese and Australian dates of the 2001 Farewell tour. Then he left the band again, seemingly for good this time.

McGregor vs Mayweather Superfight
October 17, 2018 August 9, 2017 by Edward Hopewell
On Saturday 26th of August, two of the fighting worlds biggest celebrities will collide in the ring. Floyd Mayweather, the undefeated great boxer will face Conor McGregor, the mixed martial arts UFC star who has never taken part in a professional boxing fight.
The superfight is taking place in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena. It is on the evening of the 26th of August. At the time of writing, the time of the fight has not been announced, however we know that the fight will take place in the early hours of Sunday the 27th, UK time. The two fighters will probably not enter the ring before 04:00 BST.
Mayweather has had a long and successful history as a boxer. His record as a professional currently stands at 49-0 with 26 of these being KO's. Coming out of retirement Mayweather is looking to attain a perfect 50-0 record. We expect him to to play the long game with the majority of his recent wins coming from points decisions.
McGregor is 14 years younger than Mayweather. His record in MMA is 21-3, with 18 of his wins coming from KO's. He became the first fighter in UFC history to hold titles in two weight divisions at the same time. However, he has never taken part in a professional boxing bout. He'll be aiming to knockout Mayweather as early as possible, within the first four rounds if he sticks to his word.
McGregor, who was still on benefits only 4 years ago, has a lot to learn before the fight, swapping discipline from MMA to Professional Boxing. In this fight he will have to sacrifice a huge amount of his skill set as forearm smashes, elbows, grappling and kicking are all banned. In the contract it states that McGregor will face a lawsuit if he even swings his leg at Mayweather.
The Odds
Since the fight was confirmed, the odds have been heavily in Mayweather's favour. The bookies deciding that with McGregor's lack of boxing experience he has a very slim chance of defeating Mayweather. However, McGregor's odds have recovered slightly since the fight was announced. The bookies opening at 11-1 (12.0) and now at around 4-1 (5.0).
How Can you Watch it?
In the UK the fight will be aired live on Sky Sports Box Office. It will cost £19.95 for UK viewers and €24.95 for viewers in Ireland although McGregor had requested that the fight cost a staggering £100 for British viewers. This then means that the record for pay-per-view in the UK stays at £24.95, for the Mayweather Pacquiao fight 2 years ago. In America the fight will cost a lot more, $99.99 (£77.60) to watch in HD on pay-per-view.
It's hard to find an expert who is actually backing McGregor to win the fight. All time legend Mike Tyson believes 'dumb' McGregor will be 'killed' when he enters the ring. Having said that, McGregor has always achieved what he sets out to do. Maybe he will surprise us all.
Here at The Sure Bettor we think it's going to be a Mayweather win thanks to his experience in the discipline. Let us know what you think in the comments below.
There are undoubtedly going to be a huge range of offers for us matched bettors to make some nice profit from. As usual we'll add all these offers along with a walk-through tutorial for our premium members. Find out more about this awesome betting technique in our complete guide to matched betting.


TIP! It is important to vacuum carpets before you clean them. Carpet must be vacuumed before you apply liquid cleaning products.
The way your carpet looks is an investment in your home. Even if you vacuum it religiously, it will still require professional cleaning. For this, you will need to enlist the help of a carpet cleaning company. A good choice of professional carpet cleaners can mean your old rugs have new life. Read this article to find out what you should look for in a good carpet cleaning service.
TIP! Research customer reviews into any carpet cleaning service you are thinking of hiring. A lot of businesses that have been in business for a while may not be as good as one might think.
It is critical that you compare various companies before choosing one. Research the company thoroughly and check their customer reviews. You can also call the BBB (Better Business Bureau) or the Chamber of Commerce in your area. Doing research first will pay off in the long run.
TIP! If your carpets are in really bad shape, it might be time to have them professionally cleaned. It's essential that your cleaning company test your carpet for steadfastness.
Talk to them about what solutions will work for your carpet in between professional cleanings. You don't want to do permanent damage to your carpet by using a cleaner that's too harsh for the fibers in your carpet. Testing a product only takes a few minutes and could save your carpet.
TIP! It's important that you are comfortable with the carpet cleaning company you use. The object is to feel content with the service provided, so make sure this happens.
As soon as you have a new carpet installed, be sure that you wash it. Oftentimes, companies add harsh chemicals to carpets so that they will look great while still shown to customers in stores. You can minimize exposure to these chemicals by your pets and family if you clean the carpets as soon as they arrive.
TIP! You want the professional carpet cleaners to have an actual physical address. If you run into any issues, you'll need to have a physical address that you can go to in order to resolve said issues.
Ask the carpet cleaning professionals if they have any tips for carpet care once they have finished their cleaning. They may be able to instruct you on vacuuming techniques and give you other helpful advice. Following their advice can help ensure that you won't need a carpet cleaner again for a long time.
TIP! Your carpets need regular cleaning if you have pets. If you have carpet that stains easily, you may want to keep your pets off of it, or lay a rug down.
To eliminate carpet odor, allow baking soda to sit on your carpet for about 30 minutes before vacuuming. Most products you can buy in stores actually contain large quantities of baking soda. Save money by using regular baking soda. If you prefer scented carpets, simply mix the baking soda with some essential oils and allow it to dry on some waxed paper.
TIP! Having the right tools can help you to get rid of carpet stains. If you spill something, like red wine, having a good quality stain remover near at hand can help you to act immediately and prevent the stain from setting in.
Your local chamber of commerce and the better business bureau are good resources for finding qualified local carpet cleaners. They are likely to have a relatively complete list of companies. They may also have complaints about these companies on file. This way, you can choose the best local company.
TIP! Make sure you know what services and products are included in what you are paying. Many companies offer you a particular price but tack on charges.
Talk to any company prior to hiring them what particular procedures they have. What you want to hear is that the company vacuums first, prior to engaging in the deep cleaning. Doing this will result in a much better-looking carpet; therefore, if the cleaner does not vacuum, you should find a service that does.
TIP! If you rub a stain, it will sink deeper into your carpet. You need to only blot the stain before applying the cleaning agent.
When you are considering hiring a carpet cleaning company, you must ask about the types of solvents and chemicals they will be using. There are environmentally friendly carpet cleaning companies that take care to use less damaging cleaning solutions. This is a good thing because repeated exposure to toxic chemicals can have a detrimental effect on your health.
TIP! If the carpet cleaner offers warranties for their work, remember that for the future. You should discuss anything done to your carpet with carpet cleaning experts.
Good carpet cleaners can clean carpets more thoroughly than you can. This will help you protect your investment. Be wary of carpet cleaning services that fail to deliver on their promises. Remember what you've just read as you conduct your search for a quality carpet cleaning company.

Q: Python JoinableQueue and Queue Thread Not Completing I am using the following code to complete a task using multithreading with Queue and Joinable Queue. Sometimes the script executes perfectly other times it stalls at the end of the task without ending the worker and will not continue on to the next portion of the script. I am new to working with Queue and JoinableQueue and I need to find out why this stalling happens.
Before this part in the code I run another Queue, JoinableQueue worker to download some data and it works perfectly fine everytime. Do I need to close() any thing from the first Queue/JoinableQueue?  Is there a way to check if it stalls and if so continue on?
Here is my code:
import multiprocessing
from multiprocessing import Queue
from multiprocessing import JoinableQueue
from threading import Thread

def run_this_definition(hr):
    #do things here
    return()

def worker():
while True:
    item = jq.get()
    run_this_definition(item)
   jq.task_done()
return()

q = Queue()
jq = JoinableQueue()

number_of_threads = 8

for i in range(number_of_threads):
    t = Thread(target=worker)
    t.daemon = True
    t.start()

input_list = [0,1,2,3,4]
for item in input_list:
    jq.put(item)
jq.join()
print "finished"

The script never prints "finished" when it stalls, but seems to finish all the tasks and stalls at the end of the 'run_this_definition' on the very last item in the Queue.

A: My guess is you are using the multiprocessing.JoinableQueue()!? Use the Queue.Queue() instead for threading. It has a .join() and a .task_done() method as well. Furthermore you should pass your queue as an argument to your threads: See the following example:
import threading
from threading import Thread
from Queue import Queue

def worker(jq):
    while True:
        item = jq.get()
        # Do whatever you have to do.
        print '{}: {}'.format(threading.currentThread().name, item)
        jq.task_done()
    return()

number_of_threads = 4
input_list = [1,2,3,4,5]
jq = Queue()
for i in range(number_of_threads):
    t = Thread(target=worker, args=(jq,))
    t.daemon = True
    t.start()
for item in input_list:
    jq.put(item)
jq.join()

print "finished"

The print output form multiple threads might look messy, but as an example it should be fine.
For the future: Please provide a comprehensive example of your code. Neither your imports, nor number_of_threads, run_this_definition or input_list were defined in your example.

Project Management (Management Essay Sample)
/ Samples / Management / Project Management
Susan Steele and John wood are both employees of Cerberus Corporation, both in management positions. Susan Steele has been appointed by Tom stern, a facilities manager, to lead a project aimed at transforming the office look, by replacing the old furniture with the new corporate furniture. As a project manager, Susan Steele has encountered a conflict with one of the unit planning managers, Jon Wood. As the Photographic Chemical Division (PCD) unit planning manager, Jon finds himself in a fixed corner. He has been given a go ahead by the general manager to move his unit from where it was located, to a more convenient location. The PCD unit is experiencing financial difficulties and a fierce competition, forcing it to opt for price cuttings.
As a project implementation tool, Susan had appointed a team of four individuals which comprises of a site safety or ergonomics engineer, a space planner, a move coordinator and an accounting liaison for facilities. The team had agreed unanimously on their first meeting, to replace the old furniture with the new one. Kari, The accounting liaison for facilities overseer, insisted that the cost of any replacement should be catered for by the affected individual unit, but not by the facility, collectively.
This finds Jon and Susan in a disagreement over furniture transfer. Jon insists that he cannot spend a total sum of two thousand dollars on new filling cabinets, just because the grey top of the old ones is not matching. Susan insists that she cannot go against the corporation policy, she declines authorizing the transfer of old furniture. The case ends with a persisting state of antagonism.
Susan has a point for not abiding to the Jon's decision to move with the old cabinets to the new location. On the other hand, Jon is an experienced manager, with a vast knowledge on what goes around in the corporation, mostly in his unit. In this case, it appears that Susan did not inform all the unit managers on the new policies regarding the furniture change. As a project manager, she needs to uphold better communication skills and involve unit heads in decision making. In this case, team work is not well practiced in the Cerberus corporation, worst still, the two members of staff happen to meet for the very first time during this crisis. With a case of such magnitude, Susan will require to convene an urgent meeting, which will include all unit heads and include her team as well as the facilities manager, Tom Stern. In the meeting, the issue will be discussed in details, and better conclusions will be arrived at.
To avoid such an occurrence, Steele would have communicated the introduction of the new policies with all unit managers before going ahead to implement them. In Cerberus organization, there appear to be communication breakdown between departments. This makes policy implementation hard because the affected parties are not well informed on the new corporation moves. At first, Steele ought to have consulted the unit heads and include them in the very first meeting so as to reach at a common conclusion. This way, such a conflict would have been avoided.
In Cerberus corporation, it appears like decisions are made single handed without consultations. Tom Stern appoints Steele, who is not well experienced, to head the project without consulting the general manager. The new project implementation team makes decision without consulting the unit managers, this leads to a hitter debate which ends up in a conflict. Regular meetings are also not held in this corporation, two managers of related departments happen to meet during crisis, making the consensus impossible. The corporation needs to revise its communication channel between departments and uphold team building activities to make it easier for project implementation heads, and avoid future conflicts.

Encyclopedia > College American football
College American football
American football first achieved popularity as a college game and college football continues to be extremely popular.
The first intercollegiate football game
The first game played between teams representing different colleges or universities was played on November 6, 1869 between Rutgers University and Princeton University, at College Field, New Brunswick, New Jersey. Rutgers won, by a score of 6 to 4. As the score would indicate, the game bore little resemblance to the game of today.
An account of that first game (http://www.scarletknights.com/football/history/first_game.htm)
The development of the modern game can be traced to a meeting between the Harvard University and McGill University football teams in 1874. The two teams were used to playing different brands of football--the McGill team played a rugby-style game, while Harvard played a soccer-style game. The teams agreed to play under compromise rules, and from this meeting the game of football began to evolve in both the United States and Canada.
The game increased in popularity through the remainder of the 19th century. It also became increasingly violent. President Theodore Roosevelt threatened, in 1906, to ban the sport following a series of player deaths from injuries suffered during games. The response to this was the formation of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which set rules governing the sport. One of the rules changes to emerge from this attempt at alleviating the violence of the sport was the introduction of the forward pass. Another was the banning of "mass momentum" plays (many of which, like the infamous "flying wedge", were literally deadly).
Prior to the founding of the National Football League, and for a few decades thereafter, college football was the predominant venue for American football. Innovations in strategy and style of play originated in college football and spread to the pro game gradually. It was not until the post-WWII era that the pro game achieved ascendancy in the eyes of the American sports fan.

Adopt a Foster Lamb to help a baby lamb survive and thrive. Our flock of about 500 ewes will birth almost 800 lambs in May and June, 2019. About 15 – 20 lambs will be unable to stay with mama, and must be cared for.
Will you help save a baby lamb?
After a week or so, most lambs graduate to small farms where they join small free-range flocks.
You will get a report of your lamb's progress as it learns to become a sheep.
By registering and paying, you will be on a first come first served priority list to adopt.
You do NOT take your lamb home. Please note, one per customer.
The males will live on pasture in their new homes for the summer then will go to market; the females will stay with a flock, bearing babies of their own for years to come.
If you adopt a foster lamb, you will help a caring, busy sheep farm nurture the most vulnerable to enable them to survive.

Hmmm. Which part of the CARs allows this type of activity? Nothing under 702/703! Working in a built up area below 1000 AGL, Yes with a twin aircraft but probably no aerial work permit from Transport Canada or how did he safety fly the class b load over the built up area?
deltacharlie
Ya you're right, he probably should've let the building burn to the ground. That would've been the safest thing to do!
Next time he should apply for a low fly permit with a map of his approach and departure paths, have any walkways or roads blocked off for the duration of the operation, paid his 350 bucks and hopefully have his permit within a couple of days.
That way he can go in and bucket the ashes.
And how do you know he was in a built up area, you can't see anything in those pictures.
Maybe we can wait til all the information is available before we start slamming this guy.
MMike
Could anyone see the photos? I could only see the videos
Any idea what aircraft that was? Not FBUC was it?
Palindrome
Maybe you should review the video, as it was a built up area. It would appear the regulations are clear on this for a reason. Has anyone ever had a bucket come off, either by mechanical failure or finger trouble? What could possibly go wrong when bucketing over buildings and on lookers with a couple of thousand pounds on a hook?
The photos were there this morning but looks like they have removed.

Its all good till something goes wrong, then, they blame the pilot, ALWAYS
602.15 (1) A person may operate an aircraft at altitudes and distances less than those specified in subsection 602.14(2) where the aircraft is operated at altitudes and distances that are no less than necessary for the purposes of the operation in which the aircraft is engaged, the aircraft is operated without creating a hazard to persons or property on the surface and the aircraft is operated
© for fire-fighting or air ambulance operations
Permissible Low Altitude Flight
(a) for the purpose of a police operation that is conducted in the service of a police authority;
( for the purpose of saving human life;
© for fire-fighting or air ambulance operations;
(d) for the purpose of the administration of the Fisheries Act or the Coastal Fisheries Protection Act;
(e) for the purpose of the administration of the national or provincial parks; or
(f) for the purpose of flight inspection.
"aerial work zone within a built-up area"
The word "within" in this context has been interpreted to mean substantially surrounded by the built-up area. In practical terms this would mean that a landing site would have to be surrounded on all four sides or at least to the point that a landing aircraft would overfly a structure at some point, or fly close enough to create a hazard. As an example, a landing site on the edge of a town or on a shoreline would not require an authorization if the landing could be accomplished without overflying a structure or creating a hazard to any property.
Yup, you're right. Very clear. All I see are two buildings and a bunch of trees.
I hate to be the guy spoutin' out regs, but he did a kick *** job and should be commended for it.

WASHINGTON - The American Alliance for Hardwood Plywood (AAHP) reacted with shock when the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) announced its final antidumping and countervailing duty rates. Originally intended to be announced November 7, the duty rates were kept secret during President Trump's visit with Chinese President Xi.
Antidumping margins of 183.36 percent were imposed on all Chinese companies, as well as countervailing duties ranging from 22.98 percent to 194.9 percent, based on the specifics of each Chinese manufacturer's shipments and pricing.

The Price of Tolerance: UK Taxpayers to Pay £20,000 for Tranny Murderer's Sex Change
Michael Byron June 13, 2018
Michael Byron
Daily Stormer
Remember, Bongs: if you want to continue living in a vibrant, tolerant society where policemen partake in pride parades, hajis rape schoolgirls with impunity and hairy men tearfully announce "I HAVE A VAGINA!" on live TV to rapturous applause, you need to go to work each day and help pay for it.
Diversity has never been a "something for nothing" type deal.
These things all cost money, you know.
Breitbart:
The UK taxpayer will pay around £20,000 so a transgender murderer, accused of having sex with women in female prisons, can be flown hundreds of miles for a surgical sex change.
Paris Green was born Peter Laing but began "identifying" as a female in 2011, before being jailed for life in 2013 for killing and torturing Robert Shankland.
The victim was lured to a flat before being beaten so badly footprints were left on his neck, having a plastic bag forced over his head, and being sexually assaulted with a rolling pin.
Truly shocking and unpredictable.
Who would have thought that a transvestite in high heels would turn out to be a deranged killer that sodomized men to death with rolling pins. You'd hope that Mother Nature would give us a warning sign or two to help us detect these dangerous people, but nope, they blend into society just like you and me.
Paris Green is proof that appearances can be deceiving. "She" might look like a normal young lady, the kind you might invite home to meet the parents, but behind that soft, delicate façade lurks a man that gives new meaning to the words "prepare your anus."
Despite the nature of her crimes, and retaining male biology, the killer began her sentence of at least 18 years at Cornton Vale women's jail in Stirling, Scotland, but was moved after reports she was having sex with female prisoners in a cell.
Heh, that's our Aryan princesses all right!
It doesn't matter whether you're a Moslem rapist, a Namibian bushman or a cross-dresser with fake tits, as long as you've got a penis these skanks will throw themselves at you!
(Unless you're white and heterosexual, of course, in which case the whole "must be at least 6′ and making six-figures" enters the equation.)
She will now have the sex change after being transported from her cell at HMP Edinburgh to a hospital in Southern England under constant guard, the Daily Record reports.
However, Mr. Shankland's family reacted angrily, insisting she should not be getting the operation on the National Health Service (NHS) because "it's not lifesaving treatment".
From the women's wing of the prison, Green wrote: "I am having the op, and pretty soon. The letter has went out [sic] to the surgeon asking him to take on my case."
Mr. Shankland's sister, Pauline Bell, 46, hit back. "She should not be getting the operation on the NHS. It's not lifesaving treatment. She took somebody's life away and destroyed a family," she commented.
Welp, it looks like we've found a candidate for Room 101 right here!
Clearly, this woman has forgotten that she lives in Airstrip One, where hurting the feelings of transsexuals carries a lifelong prison sentence.
She had the decency to use feminine pronouns, though, which might guard her from the most serious accusations.
It's still shocking stuff, though.
Being intolerant of a male-to-female killer like that.

Like individual operator efficiency, measuring the efficiency of a production line is important for a factory. Daily line efficiency shows line performance. To calculate the efficiency of a line for a day, you will need the following data (information) from the line supervisor or line recorder.
b. Total minutes attended by all operators in the line: Multiply the number of operators by daily working hours and convert total hours into total minutes (multiplying by 60).
Let's calculate the line efficiency of one production line.
48 operations worked in a line for 8 hours. They produced 160 garments and SAM of the garment is 44.25 minutes.
For more example, refer to the following table. Data calculation formula has been given on the header row of the table.
Here is one Video Guide for calculating overall efficiency.

Talk about a treat! I arrived home on December 9th from my trip to San Miguel de Allende, and the next day – on my birthday, Chevy delivered a fancy new 2019 Suburban for me to drive for a week!
Truth talk – I felt so nervous, I'd never sat behind the steering wheel of a vehicle so grand. It's thick and sturdy and I feel like if the end of the world ever arrived, I'd be perfectly safe for the long haul inside this vehicle. At the same time, it's cushy and luxurious inside.
See how roomy it is? It has a media screen for backseat viewing, and then wireless digital headphones inside the backseat area (the vehicle seats up to nine people), as well as the front. 14 spots to plug in for media!
I not only used the Chevy Suburban for holiday shopping, but also for transporting my handmade wares to and from my shop, Mucho Más Art Studio.
Ceramic cactus trees I made and sold at Mucho Más Art Studio. I used the Chevy Suburban to transport dozens of these across town!
Here I thought I had been sooo productive with everything I made, but once I set it in the back of the Suburban, it hardly looked like anything because there was so much room leftover!
One thing I had to become accustomed to – the height. This is a really tall vehicle. It took me a couple tries to find my groove for actually stepping into the driver's seat. I used the ledge and the handrail to pull myself up and then slid into this modern day chariot like a boss.
I love how the sun rays are kissing the interior, it's because I'm parked in front of Michaels, LOL. The universe knows I love shopping for crafts!
The front area of the Chevy Suburban is loaded with all kinds of features to make road life easier. One of the features that really impressed me was the 4G wifi hotspot. I found it easy to connect my iPhone to the unit. OH! Okay, another thing I loved – the charging station. It is between the two front seats, you simply remove your phone from its case and set it on the little platform and it charges. Nothing to plug in at all!
Thank you so much to Chevy for this super cool opportunity! Did I mention the steering wheel can be heated to warm your hands during frosty months? Here is a link to learn more about the Chevy Suburban!
