The Sorcerer (from The Jazz Pianist's Ultimate Guide To The Real Book)Ron2018-12-31T14:57:49-05:00
Pianist Herbie Hancock composed "The Sorcerer" for the 1967 Miles Davis album of the same name. It's a wonderful tune that's not played as much as it should be. In fact, even the Miles Davis Quintet didn't play "The Sorcerer" (or most of the rest of the album) in their live performances. But since it has a catchy melody and an easier set of chords than most of the group's material from the same time period, I encourage you to learn it and play it at jam sessions and on gigs.
Miles Davis: Sorcerer
Herbie Hancock: Speak Like A Child
"The Sorcerer" was written at a time when Herbie Hancock and his fellow bandmates in The Miles Davis Quintet were looking for new ways to play the music. As Hancock has stated, a big part of this was avoiding traditional jazz harmonic pathways such as the ii/V/I progression in their compositions. (You won't find any of them in "The Sorcerer.")
Reflecting this, the chords that Hancock came up with tend to surprise us by moving to new chords that aren't necessarily related in a traditional way, such as by being in the same key. DbMaj7 followed by DMaj7. Abm7 followed by Gm7. Herbie also used some chords that are very colorful in themselves, such as an Eb Maj7th with a flatted 5th.
All of this might sound great, but it makes for a somewhat tortuous path while improvising! How to approach such a disjunct chord progression? Well, there is an underlying logic to it, and it lies in how the chords sound as you actually play each one in turn. But you can't rely on any of your usual licks or even on any common scales. But you can seek out and use any notes that 2 adjacent scale might have in common.
This is an important concept so let's look at it a little more closely. The first 2 chords, DbMaj7 and DMaj7, aren't in the same key and are totally unrelated according to traditional harmony. But we can use a Db major scale on the DbMaj7 and a D major scale on the DMaj7. Do these 2 scales have any common notes? Yes, they both have a Gb/F# and a Db/C#. That's not much, but it's a start. If we use a D Lydian scale on the DMaj7 chord, we get a third common note: Ab/C#.
Now all of a sudden we have 3 common tones: F#, G#, and C#. You could use these in several ways. One way would be to simply hold out any of them throughout measures 1 and 2. The harmonies would change but the improvised melodic note would stay the same. Try it and hear how good this sounds! Another effective technique is to play a brief melodic phrase on the first chord, and land on one of these three common tones right when you switch to the new chord in m. 2. For example, you could play Eb Db C Bb as quarter notes in m. 1, and then Ab as a whole note in m.2 over the DMaj7 chord. Your melodic line would sound extremely logical and "inevitable," but the changing harmony would give a fresh sound to the end of the phrase.
This is what Herbie, Wayne Shorter, and their peers do so well, and you can learn how to do it too. Take the above concepts and practice them on the whole chord progression to "The Sorcerer," as well as any other Hancock or Shorter composition you enjoy listening to. After a while you'll find it easier and easier to get out of your musical comfort zone and improvise over these exciting tunes.

Longtime south Roanoke grocery store closing to make way for food shop
Tinnell's Finer Foods shutting its doors after 82 years
By Jessica Jewell - Weekend Anchor / Reporter
ROANOKE, Va. - It's the end of an era for a south Roanoke grocery store, as Tinnell's Finer Foods will soon be closing its doors.
Tinnell's opened up shop in 1937 and has always been owned by the same local family.
"I've probably been coming here since I was probably 7, 8 years old, as a little kid, coming down here and having these great turkey sandwiches," longtime customer Richard Cheadle said.
Owner Rett Ward's grandfather opened the store more than 80 years ago.
"This is a piece of history. There just aren't stores like Tinnell's left," Ward said.
He still remembers helping his grandmother as a child.
"We would come in and pull understock and stock the shelves and she would pay us in donuts in elementary school," Ward said.
Times certainly have changed and Ward said the way we shop has changed too. The days of buying everyday groceries from a mom and pop shop are in the past, making way for craft beer and grab-and-go meals. That's why after generations of history, the ward family is now passing the baton, but they won't have to reach far. The new owners are just two doors down at The River and Rail restaurant.
"While we are progressing and we're turning into something new and things are changing, we'll never forget where we came from in regards to it being Tinnell's," said Aaron Deal, general manager of The River and Rail restaurant.
They plan to pay homage to the legendary store by keeping some of its staples, like pimento cheese.
"It's been a great, great place for us all to live," Ward said.
Ward said they'll likely close their doors for the final time on June 29. Deal said the construction to convert the space into a restaurant with grab-and-go meals, catering and retail beer and wine will likely take six months.

Wretched War (2004) depicts the fractured and decapitated body of a pregnant woman. It is partly based on anatomical models. The pose is borrowed from a sculpture by the Impressionist artist Edgar Degas – his famous Nude Study for The 14-Year-Old Dancer (about 1880). A bronze cast of this is in the National Galleries of Scotland's collection. The sculpture's theme of life versus death, has been central to Damien Hirst's art. In 1991 Hirst gained worldwide fame when he exhibited a shark preserved in formaldehyde (The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living) and a vitrine containing a cow's head, maggots and flies (A Thousand Years). In these works, and ever since, Hirst has tackled the great historical themes of art: birth, life, death and the fragility of existence.

Yesterday, I met a young woman whose only child died last year.
The pain comes in waves, unexpectedly, profoundly. And sometimes, for years.
As for me and my own experience of grieving, most recently the loss of both of my parents, and within that context, the perceived permanent loss of any possible reconciliation with them, the process has been ongoing since I first realized they were both in the process of leaving their bodies, until this very day. It has been more than five years.
The pain has subsided. It is distant now and thoughts of my loss do not always cause me to dissolve into tears, but I do still mourn for them, for myself, and for this planet full of others mourning.
I continue to allow myself whatever form of process-release I need: wailing, talking out loud to the deceased (believing they "hear" and respond to me), furious dancing, receiving bodywork and energetic intervention, talking with a trusted friend, writing and making art.
I am clear on this point: relationships do not end when one "dies," but they do become more difficult to navigate because the other now lives on another plane of existence, communicating in non-linear dream-time, thought waves and forms, scents, signs, nudges, and yes, even visions.
For me, writing and making art are the most significant way I move forward–toward the Light. The point is movement, not resistance to apparent darkness. Seeking new insight and understanding regarding what is lost and moving gently toward integration of the new understanding into my life-view and way of being in the world, in relationship, transmutes all negative energy into positive, allowing all experiences to be used for the Highest Good.
When I can truly assimilate and put into practice what I have learned from a relationship and from purposeful, deep reflection on its relational qualities and nuances, studying and accepting which is my part and which is the part of the other and how we became who we are (were) together, then the essence of the relationship is not lost but found because the essential life of it lives in me and, indeed, in all whose lives I touch.

Further, when this kind of profound interaction between the worlds takes place, each of us heals and can then, and only then, organically move forward with living our lives as they are now, resurrected in this new form, moving more freely within and between the realms and planes of existence toward Harmony and Love–the Highest Vibrational Frequency.

Nobody likes to pay taxes. That's why investors naturally are interested in earning tax-free income. Municipal bond issues are a very popular way to earn tax-free income and, if income is reinvested, achieve tax-free compounding of returns.
Municipal bonds (also known as "munis") are fixed-income investments that can provide higher after-tax returns than similar taxable corporate or government issues. In general, the interest paid on municipal issues is exempt from federal taxes and sometimes state and local taxes as well.
A municipal bond is an interest-bearing debt obligation issued by a state or local municipality, which may support general government needs or fund a public works project. A municipal bond can also be issued by legal entities such as a housing authority or a port authority. A variety of projects, such as new roads, stadiums, bridges, or hospitals, are usually financed through the issuance of municipal bonds. In addition to providing tax-exempt earnings, municipals can be an excellent way to invest in the growth and development of your community.
Municipal bonds are different from corporate bonds in several ways. Most important, the income they generate is usually exempt from federal taxes, whereas the income generated by corporate bonds is fully taxable. In addition, if the investor lives in the state that issued the bond, the state tax is usually exempted. Local taxes (if any) may also be exempted. Be aware that if the municipal bond is a "private purpose" bond, the income is taxable unless specifically exempted. Also, income from some bonds may be taxable under alternative minimum tax rules.
Their general exemption from taxes sets municipal bonds apart from other bonds, so they are often referred to as "tax-exempt bonds." The second way that municipal bonds differ from corporate bonds is how they are retired at maturity. Corporate bonds are usually issued with "term" maturities, but many municipal bonds are issued with "serial" maturities. This means that the bond is issued with several maturity dates. A portion of the principal matures with each maturity date until the entire principal has been paid off. The interest rate of a serial issue can also be different with each redemption date. As with some corporate bonds, many longer-term municipals may also include "call" provisions.
This means that the issuer can choose to retire the entire value of the bond early, on the call date, and would likely do so if prevailing interest rates are lower than the bond's coupon rate. In addition, corporate bonds are usually issued in $1,000 amounts, but municipal bonds are usually offered in principal amounts of $5,000. Finally, municipal bonds are traded only on the over-the-counter market, whereas some corporate bonds are listed on exchanges.
The most common type of municipal is called the general obligation (GO) bond. These bonds are not tied to a particular community project, and the issuer of the GO bond is obligated to make interest and principal payments on time, which makes them one of the least risky municipal investments. Consequently, they also have lower yields.
Another type of bond is the revenue bond, which is backed only by the revenue expected to be generated by the facility being built. Other types include special tax bonds and industrial revenue bonds, as well as variations on the general obligation bond.
General Obligation Bonds: Backed by the full faith and credit of the issuing government and its taxing power. They are considered very low risk and thus offer the lowest yields. They are approved by voters.
Revenue Bonds: Secured only by a specified revenue source such as highway tolls or airport fees. They are considered somewhat riskier than general obligation bonds and thus usually offer higher yields.
Commercial Paper: Short-term debt issued by governments to meet cash-management needs, budget shortfalls, and the like. Typically they are backed by a bank letter of credit and carry maturities of less than nine months. The yields offered are generally low due to their short maturities.
Private Activity Bonds: Used to fund private pursuits that qualify under federal law as having a tax-exempt status. They are considered riskier than revenue and general obligation bonds and thus offer higher yields. May not be tax exempt.
Municipal bonds usually have a yield several percentage points below the yield on corporate bonds of comparable maturity. This means that a municipal bond can provide the same after-tax yield as a taxable bond paying a higher interest rate. If you are in a high tax bracket, the benefits of using municipal bonds in the bond portion of your portfolio are impressive. For example, if your income tax rate is 28%, a municipal bond paying 6% interest is actually a better investment than a taxable bond paying interest at 8.3%. You can easily calculate the comparable yield on a taxable investment, known as the taxable-equivalent yield (see "Consider Taxable-Equivalent Yield").
With thousands of municipal bond issues outstanding, keeping track of prices for each on a day-to-day basis is beyond the capabilities of news reporting organizations. Consequently, you don't see specific municipal bond prices in a newspaper — you have to consult a bond dealer if you are interested in a specific bond price. And even though municipal bonds are issued in increments of $5,000, the prices are quoted as if they were $1,000 issues. In an attempt to make municipal bonds more attractive to individual investors, the municipal bond industry is starting to report regional pricing on municipal bonds to national news services. As a result, there will be some benchmark investors can use to learn how one bond compares to another.
As with the prices of other types of bonds, municipal bond prices react to changes in interest rates. This is why many analysts recommend holding short- to intermediate-term bonds, because they are less vulnerable to changing interest rates.
Municipal bonds also pose credit risks — as became clear when several larger cities filed for bankruptcy following the most recent recession. Other risk variables are specific to municipal bonds, such as the potential for future changes in the tax law.
Some of these risks are lessened by purchasing shares of a municipal bond fund, which are inherently diversified. Most municipal bond funds invest in the generally higher-quality, federally tax-free issues of state governments and municipalities. Professional management can save you the hassle of having to research and evaluate the thousands of individual bonds on the market. In addition, lower initial investment requirements help ease accessibility to municipal bonds.
Municipal bonds and the funds that invest in them continue to offer many investors higher after-tax yields than could be earned on comparable taxable investments.
In this instance, if you are in the 28% federal tax bracket, a taxable investment needs to yield 8.3% to equal the lower, but tax-exempt, return offered by a municipal bond fund that currently yields 6%. If you are investing in a state-specific municipal bond fund, add your state and/or local income tax rates to your federal tax rate in computing the taxable-equivalent yield.
A municipal bond is a debt obligation issued by a municipality for funding general public needs or a public works project.
The income generated by municipal bonds is often exempt from federal taxes.
Municipal bonds purchased by residents of the municipality may also be exempt from state and local taxes.
The freedom from federal taxes sets municipal bonds apart from all other bonds.
Municipal bonds are issued with "serial" maturities.
Municipal bonds are usually offered in principal amounts of $5,000.
Municipal bonds are traded only on the over-the-counter market.
Municipal bonds can provide the same after-tax yield as a corporate or Treasury bond paying a higher interest rate.
Risks in municipal bond investing include credit risk and price fluctuations due to changes in interest or tax rates.

As the world's population soars, so does its consumption, and as a result we are stretching many of our natural resources to their limits.
Click here to view a larger version of the above photo, which describes the worst case scenario for how long our non-renewable natural resources will last.
1. Matt Yglesias breaks down the stakes for President Obama in the 2012 election.
Obama is still having trouble paying down the "unemployment debt" that we wracked up in 2009. But give him a second term and it'll be done easily. Let Romney take over without that debt, and the sky's all clear.Lose and Obama's an even bigger failure than Jimmy Carter. Win and he's the most successful Democrat since FDR.
All due to how the jobs math will play out over the next several years.
No big deal, just an arctic cyclone.
So, is this a thing we should be worried about? Yes, says James Hansen, Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
Can we be done with Congressional hacks pretending this isn't an issue? Let's get it together on climate change.
3. A PhD student rides Greyhound buses for two years to discover our social interaction patterns which result in us being alone together. As a former frequent rider of the El in Chicago, many of the social interactions she documents are very familiar.
Those of us who ride public transportation on a regular basis appreciate the sometimes-peculiar experience of being alone together. We all want as much privacy as the confines of a crowded subway car allow, which often means totally ignoring another human whose clothes are brushing up against your own. Maintaining order in a tight public space often requires us to pay others the respect of pretending they don't exist.
For Greyhound patrons, the combination of passengers' transient nature, fear of potential danger, physical exhaustion, and confinement in a small space without privacy cause people to actively disengage.
4. Mitt Romney did an interview with Bloomberg BusinessWeek. I wouldn't say it went well.
BusinessWeek: "Let's frame the issue around your tax returns in a slightly different way. If you're an investor and you're looking at a company, and that company says that its great strength is wise management and fiscal know-how, wouldn't you want to see the previous, say, five years' worth of its financials?
Romney: I'm not a business. We have a process in this country, which was established by law, which provides for the transparency which candidates are required to meet. I have met with that requirement with full financial disclosure of all my investments, but in addition have provided and will provide a full two years of tax returns. This happens to be exactly the same as with John McCain when he ran for office four years ago.
We can nitpick the realities of Romney's statement, or we can take a look at what Matt Taibbi has to say about this whole tax return mess.
(W)hat they should be doing instead is hammering Romney on the missing returns, yes, but focusing even more on the returns he did release. We've known for seven months now, for instance, that Romney paid $3 million in federal taxes in 2010 on $21.7 million in taxable revenue, an effective tax rate of 13.9 percent. Which, as most people know, is less than half the rate most people pay on their income tax.
In Mitt's case, the money you and I make to support ourselves is called income and is taxed up to 35 percent, but the money Mitt makes raiding companies with borrowed money and extracting draconian management fees from captive companies that have no choice but to pay them is called "Carried Interest," and taxed at a top rate of 15%.
I suspect that the Obama campaign will be on this issue like a dog on a bone for the next 90 days.
5. Mitch Hedberg was a brilliant comedian who died too young of a drug overdose. I just stumbled upon a great video about Mitch, whose star burned brightly for a very short time.
In this moving portrait, Hedberg's wife and fellow comedian, Lynn Shawcroft, shares personal stories about their creative process and life together. Shawcroft was married to Hedberg for six years until his death in 2005. She maintains his site with interviews, videos, and scanned pages from his notes. Modern Comedian is produced by Scott Moran.
Fact Of The Day: The Soviet Union and USA made a plan to do a joint manned mission to Mars during the cold war. The Soviets supported it, but the idea was rejected by Reagan.
P22 or WNYBAC should create a Hedberg Font.

A new report by economists at The Brattle Group offers a common set of guidelines for EU-based National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) to use when calculating an allowed rate of return – typically a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) – for electronic telecommunications operators with significant market power (SMP).
NRAs currently use a variety of methodologies to estimate WACCs, which can result in cross-country pricing differences for reasons other than economic fundamentals. To address this issue, the European Commission's Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG Connect) engaged The Brattle Group to develop a harmonized WACC methodology to be used by the NRAs. Brattle economists Dan Harris and Richard Caldwell, lead authors of the report, shed more light on the issue at hand and the positive results of the guidelines they put forth.
Why were you compelled to do this report?
In some circumstances, National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) for electronic communications in the European Union (EU) may set maximum wholesale price caps for access to the networks of operators with significant market power (SMP). NRAs are required to set these price caps at levels which allow SMP operators to earn a reasonable rate of return on their investments, or in other words, to earn their weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The problem is that NRAs often employ different methodologies to estimate WACC, so that the resulting estimates differ between Member States for reasons other than market fundamentals. These differences may then distort market participants' investment decisions, dragging investment to jurisdictions with relatively more generous WACCs at the expense of those with less generous WACCs, and in the process distort the EU's digital single market. To address this issue, the European Commission asked The Brattle Group to develop common guidelines for NRAs when estimating WACCs in the EU's telecoms sector. The guidelines covered so-called legacy networks, such as copper networks used for the provision of voice and broadband services, as well as Next Generation Access (NGA) networks, which are used for fiber-based telecoms services.
What was the outcome of your analysis?
WACC estimation requires NRAs to estimate multiple underlying parameters and values. Estimating each parameter may require several assumptions and calculations. Subjective differences can arise during this multi-step process, even if the overall goal of the analysis – the WACC – remains consistent across NRAs. Our study therefore began by analyzing the alternative approaches used to estimate each relevant parameter. We carefully considered the alternatives, and then recommended the ones we considered most appropriate for EU NRAs given the broader industry and economic context for their analysis.
We did not develop our guidelines in a vacuum. NRAs have established methodologies and practices for WACC estimation, and modifying NRAs' existing methodologies has itself a potential cost in the form of increased regulatory uncertainty. Our approach attempts to strike a delicate balance between eliminating subjective differences between NRAs' WACC estimates, without imposing undue change and uncertainty.
The result is a kind of 'recipe book' that NRAs can use to estimate WACC. The recipe book identifies which parameters should have a common value across all EU Member States, and which can remain different. For example, we recommend common values for the Market Risk Premium and the 'beta' value for legacy networks, since investors can easily diversify across Europe and beyond. At the same time, we recognize that the cost of debt and debt levels can vary across Member States. Our guidelines also recommend a single calculation methodology or data source for some parameters in the interests of harmonization, while always recognizing that other methodologies and data sources may be available and potentially valid.
We outline several reasons why the WACC for NGA networks is likely to be higher than for legacy networks, and recommend that NRAs use financial modeling techniques to quantify the additional risk 'premium'.
What is the impact to regulators?
NRAs confront many difficult choices in setting price caps, and even face the risk that the European Commission could potentially challenge their WACC methodology. With our report, NRAs now have a detailed set of guidelines and can rest assured that the Commission is unlikely to challenge any WACC decision that is consistent with the guidelines. We are pleased to hear that the Commission has received positive feedback from NRAs about the guidelines, in particular from smaller NRAs who have fewer resources to dedicate to WACC estimation, and who are grateful for the practical help our report provides.
What is the potential impact to non-regulators?
Access tariffs are a significant cost for many network users, and the WACC an important element of the tariff determination. Our report will help network users better understand and predict how NRAs derive access tariffs, and how tariffs might evolve as financial conditions change. The report thereby enhances the transparency of the tariff setting process, and attempts to ensure that network users pay tariffs that reflect underlying economic fundamentals.

June signals the end of the rainy season when the Serengeti plains are lush and green. The herds are spread out during this period so you can expect longer and more rewarding game drives. It's also during this time when the wildebeest cross the Grumeti River which is home to some of the largest Nile crocodiles in the world. July marks the start of the Mara River crossing as well as the mating season in the Serengeti.
Your migration safari will start in the city closest to Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak. Following this you will visit Tarangire National Park which has the highest concentration of wildlife in Africa.
You'll then head to the Ngorongoro Crater, which teems with wildlife and provides spectacular viewing all-year round. Afterwards you will visit the central Serengeti to witness part of the great wildebeest migration and watch as the herds follow the rains.
But the game viewing doesn't end with the wildebeest migration. You will also sight lion, elephant, giraafe, gazelle and eland.
After arriving at Kilimanjaro International Airport and completing your customs / immigration requirements, you'll be introduced to your migration safari guide who will transfer you to the Onsea Hotel in Arusha. You will stay at the hotel on a bed and breakfast basis for one night.
Relax in their Wellness Machweo area after an exhausting trip to Mt. Kilimanjaro or a bumpsy safari trip. Explore coffee tours, that will take you to a local organic and Fair Trade coffee farm. You'll enjoy a cup of coffee with the farmers, while having a homemade Tanzanian lunch. Travellers will also get the chance to visit the oldest church on Mt. Meru and visit Maraa Primary School project which is supported in collaboration with the iThemba Foundation.
Leave Arusha for Tarangire National Park and enjoy a game drive en-route. Spend two nights with all your meals included at the Nimali Tarangire Camp which is located only 2.5 hours from Arusha. Nimali is an exclusive luxury lodge located on the eastern boundary of Tarangire National Park and is renowned for its stunning baobab trees and large elephant herds. The lodge is also situated alongside the riverbed and well hidden amongst the trees.
The main area overlooks a waterhole that attracts wildlife and every evening, you will relax in the lounge with a sundowner alongside a fireplace. Explore the wildlife and enjoy game drives in Tarangire National Park.
Say your final goodbyes to Nimali Tarangire, as you head to the Ngorongoro Crater region. Experience a game drive in Lake Manyara National Park on route to the Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp where you will spend the next two nights with all your meals and activities included.
All the main areas have breathtaking views of the scenic surroundings and large trees that surround this intimate camp.
Highlights include game drives in the famous Ngorongoro Crater, with a picnic lunch. You can also enjoy cultural activities in the nearby Masai village.
Drive to the Serengeti National Park and enjoy watching the great wildebeest migration. Nasikia Naona Moru Camp will be your home for the next three nights, with all your meals and activities included.
This tented camp is situated on an elevated viewing point alongside the famous Moru Kopjes, offering a fantastic vantage point for spotting game and migratory herds throughout the year. The landscape stretches from the southern plains of the Serengeti, into the central hub of the most famous national park in Africa. Additionally, the tented suites cater for honeymooners with private bush dinners, small groups and families.
Encounter guided wildlife viewing, bird watching and nature walks in the central Serengeti, while balloon safaris are a romantic and evocative way of experiencing the wilderness of East Africa. This affords you a unique perspective as you silently fly over the plains.
Unfortunately, all good things come to an end. You'll be transported to the Seronera airstrip for a scheduled flight back to Kilimanjaro to catch your connecting flight back home.


The National Library says that class sets of books will no longer be available to individual teachers. Instead it will provide "sets of high quality, curated curriculum topic resources for which there is demonstrated demand".
Teachers will be able to request specific books through the National Library in addition to the annual reading loan, but it is not clear if they can choose exact titles, very specific topics such as stick insects, dinosaurs or banking or if they can request titles related to general areas such as nature and numeracy.
The National Library Service has said that it will provide an "enhanced online service", but it is not clear what that will look like. The National Library says it will "build on the foundations" of the National Library's schools online delivery channel, but was not specific about what that meant.
New sources of classroom materials will emerge as time goes on. In Tauranga, for example, says principal Ian Leckie, teachers have access to the House of Science, which provides resources. If, however, he wanted material about Korea or India" because he has many students with connections there" finding class sets of books could be difficult. The School Journal will fill some gaps, says Leckie. But uncertainty about the Journal doesn't make him confident that will be the answer.
The Ministry of Education will not provide any additional resources to schools. But Dr Graham Stoop, Deputy Secretary Student Achievement, points out that the ministry has more than 3500 hard copy resources to support curriculum delivery. He says there are also many places for schools to access sources and these will evolve and grow. They include: the ministry's Te Kete Ipurangi (TKI), Artsonline, DigiStore, NZmaths, and its teaching material page which includes online resources and online versions of resources also available in print from the ministry, such as Figure it Out and Connected.
The National Library's page at schools.natlib.govt.nz/resources-for-learning is also a portal for schools, says Stoop.
"Many government agencies and other organisations provide resources to schools, for example, Seafood New Zealand, New Zealand Fire Service, The Heart Foundation, Genesis Energy. Public and school libraries provide resources that can support curriculum delivery." He adds that students' skills in information literacy and digital literacy are growing.
In the meantime, some schools will buy hardcopy collections. But "because the timeline has been so short it is not possible for school libraries to budget for this massive change this year," says Schaumann.
Many teachers will turn to EPIC, at http://tinyurl.com/NatlibEpic . Every school has access to this via Te Kete Ipurangi.
For some teachers the answer will come through Pond.co.nz, N4L's education portal. The portal is both a repository of information as well as a focussed portal to the Internet.
Teachers and principals EA spoke to had difficulty overcoming their horror at the end of the National Library's school lending service as it was. Browsing the internet isn't the same experience for a child as having a book in their hands, says Leckie.
Children can "read" eBooks online but the process of finding them isn't easy – even with N4L's portal Pond.co.nz.
As time goes on, says Chris South, head of dynamic services at N4L, teachers will add more and more links to both free and paid-for ebooks, which can be used as resources in class. An example of that is the free Matariki and Her Sisters published by teacher Sonya Van Schaijik, publicised through Pond and available for free through Issuu.com.
South also believes that the consumption patterns of how children research material will change. In the meantime, finding such content through Pond, Google or other digital services can be a very time consuming process.

Gorilla relocates to new Cardiff Bay HQ
20th January 2020 26th November 2014
We are excited to announce that we have now officially opened the doors to our brand new facility at the Welsh Government's flagship creative industries at Porth Teigr, Cardiff Bay.
We have taken over 12,000 square foot of space over three floors at the newly-opened GloWorks building, moving all of our operations and technical departments onto one site in the process. This means we have been able to improve efficiency and communication across our departments, as well develop our client services through extended company working hours and technical services.
Facilities at our new HQ comprise 40 Avid Suites, including the UK's first licence server and nearly half a petabyte of shared storage, a Baselight Grading suite and 5.1 Protools dubbing studios with ADR/VO. There is also a dedicated QC, file delivery and archive service, specially designed to service the demands of broadcast file delivery.
Gorilla's MD Richard Moss said: "Moving to this new site has given us the flexibility and room we need to expand in order to service the ever-increasing needs and tight deadlines of our clients. Consolidating our existing businesses and designing from scratch a facility suited to today's post-production environment was both a wonderful challenge and an opportunity for radical improvements".
Paul Owen our Director of Operations said: "We have been able to significantly improve our level of services to clients thanks to new technology and staffing organisation. Bringing our bookings and technical departments together in the same accessible, client-friendly space has made a huge difference to daily operations. With our consistently strong team, we continue to offer the very best in post-production services in a much more streamlined and client-orientated environment."
Gorilla joins Ludus celebrations at the Broadcast Digital Awards Gorilla installs Wales' first Avid S6 Audio Consoles


Honesty is a highly admirable character trait. Sure, sometimes telling the truth isn't exactly easy to do, but at the end of the day, everyone can agree that telling a difficult truth is much easier than having to cover up a lie.
They have a tendency of spreading and becoming even bigger than ever before! While most people consider themselves to be fairly honest people, we've all stretched the truth before or at least told a little white lie. But it's impossible to honestly say just how, well... honest we are, because no one human being is truly capable of being objective about themselves.
Luckily, you don't have to wonder just how honest other people think you are at all. Instead of engaging in awkward conversations asking people if they think you're super trustworthy, you can take this free personality test and find out in a matter of seconds whether or not you're considered to be an honest person.
The personality quiz is simple. To get it done, all you need to do is take a quick look at the optical illusion below. When you do this, pay close attention to the first thing in the picture that catches your eye. Once you've done that, scroll down and read about how what you saw first reveals just how trustworthy you really are.
It's a big question and one you definitely need answered, so what are you waiting for? Hop to it!
If you saw the stars first, you're so honest it's surprising that you have yet to confess to chopping down a cherry tree. That's right, when it comes to being honest, you're as upright as they come. In fact, sometimes people say you're TOO honest.
You can't help it, it's just how you're wired. Being honest is great, but you need to remember that honesty without kindness is cruelty.
If you saw the moon first, you're the kind of person who people aren't quite sure about when it comes to sharing your secrets. You seem kind and caring, and you are, but you also appear to be a person with plenty of secrets, and that's because you also are.
People think you'll keep a secret, but only as long as it doesn't interfere with your own comfort.
If you saw the birds first, you are the sort of person people NEVER tell their secrets to; they also make it their business to second-guess everything that you say, and you do have a tendency towards exaggeration.
If you want to earn trust, demonstrate that you deserve it. Stop spreading gossip all around town.
If you saw the girl first, people think you're trustworthy, but only when the mood strikes you. Because you're a bit of a loner, people assume that you aren't interested in their lives. So when people keep things from you, it isn't because you aren't trustworthy, it's just that they think you aren't interested.
Want more secrets? Express more of an interest!


Outfit Ideas || 4th of July | RAWR BOWS.
Hello everybody! I know, I am not American and therefore I don't celebrate the 4th of July. So, why would I ever write this post? Well, because it turns out that the American flag is pretty much everywhere, from shorts to jackets, and to be honest all of this outfit are rather 'normal' meaning that you could wear them any day.
The first two outfits are more casual and you could pretty much wear them everyday to hang out with your friends or maybe going shopping or whatever you like to do! The last one is more dressy but you could easily dress it down by changing the clutch for a more casual handbag and maybe changing the sandals for vans or converse.
Which one was your favourite outfit? Do you celebrate the 4th of July?
The ripped shorts are lovely! I don't celebrate the 4th of July because Im from the UK, but I hope you have a great day!

Is there a way I can find the underlying property type from the DTO so that I can pass back true from Configuration.ShouldQuote only for fields that were originally of type string?
public class TestDTO
{
    public string Field1 { get; set; }
    public int Field2 { get; set; }
    public bool Field3 { get; set; }
}

    var rawData = new[]
    {
        new TestDTO { Field1 = "Field1", Field2 = 1, Field3 = true },
        new TestDTO { Field1 = "Field2", Field2 = 10, Field3 = false }
    };
    using (var writer = new StreamWriter("file.csv"))
    {
        using (var csv = new CsvWriter(writer))
        {
            csv.Configuration.ShouldQuote = (field, context) =>
            {
                return field is string; // doesn't work as all fields at this point are strings
            };

            csv.WriteRecords(rawData);
        }
    }

A: CsvHelper has changed the ShouldQuote behavior several times, and Version 23 changed this behavior once again from one with a multi-argument delegate to one with a single parameter of type ShouldQuoteArgs.
A really simple example that quotes all non-empty strings:
    ...
    var csvConfig = new CsvConfiguration(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
    {
        ShouldQuote = args =>
        {
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(args.Field)) return false;

            return args.FieldType == typeof(string);
        }
    };

The default ShouldQuote handler in the CsvHelper source is a good place to look for more ways to handle quoting.

A: csv.Configuration.ShouldQuote = (field, context) =>
{
    var index = context.Record.Count;
    var type = ((PropertyInfo)context.WriterConfiguration.Maps.Find<TestDTO>().MemberMaps[index].Data.Member).PropertyType;
    if (type == typeof(string))
    {
        return true;
    }

    return ConfigurationFunctions.ShouldQuote(field, context);
};

You can also use a custom converter.
public class QuoteStringConverter : StringConverter
{
    public override string ConvertToString(object value, IWriterRow row, MemberMapData memberMapData)
    {
        var innerQuotes = ((string)value).Replace(row.Configuration.QuoteString, row.Configuration.DoubleQuoteString);
        var quotedValue = row.Configuration.Quote + innerQuotes + row.Configuration.Quote;
        return base.ConvertToString(quotedValue, row, memberMapData);
    }
}

Turn quotes off and add your converter to the TypeConverterCache
var rawData = new[]
{
    new TestDTO { Field1 = "Field1", Field2 = 1, Field3 = true },
    new TestDTO { Field1 = "Field2", Field2 = 10, Field3 = false }
};

using (var writer = new StreamWriter("file.csv"))
using (var csv = new CsvWriter(writer))
{
    csv.Configuration.ShouldQuote = (field, context) => false;
    csv.Configuration.TypeConverterCache.AddConverter<string>(new QuoteStringConverter());

    csv.WriteRecords(rawData);
}

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — U.S. and South Korean defense officials formally suspended a major joint military exercise in hopes of advancing nuclear negotiations with North Korea. It's a bold gamble that could trigger a serious security crisis if the talks falter and the allies are forced to resume the drills, infuriating North Korea, analysts say.
The cancellation, abruptly decided by President Donald Trump at his summit last week with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was formally announced by the Pentagon on Monday. South Korea's Defense Ministry simultaneously confirmed the suspension of the Ulchi Freedom Guardian exercises, consisting largely of computer-simulated war games.
In announcing his decision, Trump said suspending the "provocative" war games would "save us a tremendous amount of money." The decision, which apparently came without consultations with South Korea or the Pentagon, surprised many in South Korea and the United States who believe the training is a central pillar of their countries' seven-decade military alliance dating back to the 1950-53 Korean War.
South Korean military commentator Lee Illwoo described the halt as "temporarily pulling off the wheels of the alliance." Other experts agree that the suspension will weaken, at least temporarily, the allies' defense posture against North Korea and open gaps in their combined deterrence.
Seoul and Washington describe the move as a temporary measure to prolong ongoing detente on the Korean Peninsula and increase the chances of successful nuclear diplomacy with North Korea. But if North Korea doesn't reciprocate by taking serious steps toward denuclearization, the allies would be compelled to resume the drills, and that would certainly draw a furious response from North Korea, which views the exercises as rehearsals for an invasion, experts say.
"Suspending drills once is dangerous because it causes a hole in our national security. But resuming suspended drills would cause a bigger security crisis because more extreme resistance from North Korea would come," Lee said.
Experts say South Korea and the United States need to hold regular drills to prepare their commanders, who change periodically, to work together smoothly in crisis situations and respond to North Korea's evolving military threats and other factors such as changes in the deployment of U.S. strategic assets.
"It's hard to deny that the security gap problem would exist and the allies must be prepared to snap the drills back on if the North doesn't make genuine steps toward denuclearization," said Yeol Soo Kim, a senior analyst from South Korea's Korea Institute for Military Affairs.
The drill's suspension is likely the only concession that Trump could provide to Kim at a time when the North Korean leader has remained vague about his pledge to work toward the "complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula." Other rewards that North Korea wants are an easing of international sanctions, establishment of diplomatic ties with the United States, and a reduction of U.S. troops in South Korea. Those are bigger concessions that are unlikely to be granted by the U.S. without concrete steps by North Korea toward denuclearization.
"Trump has not many (negotiating) cards now," said Yang Uk of the Korea Defense and Security Forum.
The drill's suspension would have been unthinkable last year, when North Korea sharply raised animosity with a torrid run of nuclear and long-range missile tests that put the country closer to acquiring a nuclear arsenal capable of targeting the U.S. mainland.
Still, the U.S.-initiated decision to shelve the drills isn't likely to dramatically change the psyche of South Koreans who have spent their entire lives facing North Korean threats and living through wild swings in inter-Korean relations. Even last year, few South Koreans publicly displayed security jitters, and civil defense drills were generally lax.
That contrasted with 20-30 years ago, when South Koreans rushed to stores to stock up on instant noodles and other provisions when North Korea threated to turn Seoul into a "sea of fire" and ratcheted up tensions.
It's not the first time that the U.S. and South Korea have halted military drills in an attempt to ease tensions with North Korea and persuade it to give up its nuclear weapons.

Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie' Adds Will Ferrell to Cast
Matt Singer Published: April 11, 2022
One hears that they are making a movie out of Barbie and on the surface it does not instill a lot of confidence or excitement, especially after the track record of other movies based on toys like Transformers or G.I. Joe or Ouija. But this Barbie movie could be something different. It was co-written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, two legitimately great directors, and Gerwig herself is directing the film. That's right; from the director of Lady Bird and Little Women comes... Barbie! Who'da thunk it?
Those talented filmmakers have recruited an equally talented cast too. The film will star Margot Robbie in the title role, with Ryan Gosling as Ken. And now, per The Hollywood Reporter, Barbie has added Will Ferrel to the cast as well. As for who he will portray in the film, THR writes "that there is a meta aspect to the proceedings. Ferrell is said to be playing the CEO of a toy company that may or not be Mattel."
Ferrell has been in a toy-based movie before; he was the voice of the evil Lord Business in The LEGO Movie franchise. It would be kind of amazing if he was playing an evil lord of business in Barbie too. I guess he's a proven commodity in that type of role.
Greta Gerwig's Barbie — it's gonna take a while for that phrase to not sound weird — will open in theaters in 2023. The rest of the impressive cast includes Simu Liu, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey, America Ferrera, and Kate McKinnon. If nothing else, this has to be one of the best cast in a toy-based movie ever.

CJTF–OIR for August 30, 2016 – August 31, 2016
Statement by Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook on Precision Airstrike Targeting Abu Muhammad Al-Adnani
Today coalition forces conducted a precision strike near Al Bab, Syria, targeting Abu Muhammad Al-Adnani, one of ISIL's most senior leaders. We are still assessing the results of the strike, but Al-Adnani's removal from the battlefield would mark another significant blow to ISIL. Al-Adnani has served as principal architect of ISIL's external operations and as ISIL's chief spokesman. He has coordinated the movement of ISIL fighters, directly encouraged lone-wolf attacks on civilians and members of the military and actively recruited new ISIL members. The U.S. military will continue to prioritize and relentlessly target ISIL leaders and external plotters in order to defend our homeland, our allies and our partners, while we continue to gather momentum in destroying ISIL's parent tumor in Iraq and Syria and combat its metastases around the world.


CELEBRATE THE VALENTINES DAY WITH DAVID BOWIE & FRIDAY MUSIC!
DAVID BOWIE'S 2003 MASTERWORK ALBUM!!!
David Bowie was and still is truly a gift to rock music fans everywhere. There will never be another David Bowie, an artistic genius who enthralled generations of aspiring musicians and music lovers the world over with the many fine recordings and concert tours he created seamlessly for many years.
Celebrating over five decades in the music business, the English native initially captivated millions of kids in the 70's with his Ziggy Stardust persona. He drove the rockers mad with his stellar concerts and dynamic presence on the stage. As David moved on and started venturing into other fields of music, film and art, he soon emerged as one of the early founders of alternative and ambient music with albums like "Low" and "Heroes"
At the turn of the millennium, David Bowie scored a new legion of fans with more harder edged recordings like his 2003 platinum masterwork "Reality." "Reality" kicks things off with the hard rock sound of "New Killer Star." This radio and fan favorite graced alternative and rock radio stations and helped bolster even further the rest of the Lp with follow up hits like "Never Grow Old" and "Bring Me The Disco King" featuring longtime Bowie guitarists Earl Slick and Carlos Alomar, and stellar revisits of George Harrison's "Try Some, Buy Some" and The Modern Lovers punk classic "Pablo Picasso."
All in all, a truly remarkable album which continues to pave the way for a whole new level of fans as David Bowie enthusiasts consider this to be one of best late career albums.
Friday Music is no stranger to the music of the legendary David Bowie, as we've been releasing his fine recordings on our label for quite some time. That is why we are so very pleased to announce another fine installment in The David Bowie/Friday Music 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl Series with his legendary masterpiece "Reality."
Mastered impeccably by Joe Reagoso (David Bowie/Iggy Pop) for the first time on super limited edition Translucent Gold & Blue Swirl audiophile vinyl, "Reality" will truly become one of the more important 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl revisits in quite some time.
To celebrate the great David Bowie, we further enhance this limited anniversary edition with a stunning tri-fold cover featuring the original artwork elements.

TORTS- For this unit, watch torts in action and give an oral presentation on your findings. Go to any place of business (perhaps if you have a part-time job or an internship), or use our Lynn University campus for this assignment. Then, find FOUR potential tort issues that you see.
Next, complete a formal outline of your oral presentation, including, for each potential tort, an explanation of (1) facts and the potential injury which may occur and the specific tort which may be involved, (2) legal elements of that tort, (3) application of those elements to the facts; (4) your potential questioning of the validity of legal defenses to that tort actions.
For example, you may notice water puddling in the bathroom. Explain how a person could slip, fall and be injured. Note that injury could trigger negligence. Specify the four elements of negligence and specifically apply the elements of the tort to the facts. Complete the analysis by examining potential defenses to the tort of negligence and why that, in your opinion, would not apply. Submit that formal outline to the professor.
In class, you will present your findings in an oral presentation of 8-10 minutes, using 8-10 PowerPoint or Prezi slides. Start by completing a speaking outline for your presentation based on your findings and your formal outline. You shall be graded according to the Dialogues of Learning Oral Communication Grading Rubric, attached. This project is 15% of your grade.
SECOND ASSIGNMENT
BUSINESS ENTITIES- Kelly and Karla were roommates at Lynn University and graduated last May. While on a post-graduation celebration trip to Costa Rica, the two women began exploring the idea of opening a restaurant on South Beach in Miami, Florida. Neither has any previous experience in starting or operating a restaurant, but both have extensive connections in the Miami-Dade area because of the many friends they made while attending Lynn. They intend to attract health-minded, college-age students to their new restaurant, The SoBe Health Hut. Kelly and Karla agree that each will invest equally in terms of time and money. However, in addition to these equal contributions, another $100,000 is essential for the restaurant to succeed.
1) Explain the key elements of – and the differences between — a sole proprietorship, a general partnership, a limited liability partnership, and a corporation. (65%)
2) What type of the above four business entities is best suited for The SoBe Health Hut and why? In your answer, explain who will manage the store and what personal liabilities will Kelly and Karla face and why? (35%)
You shall be graded on your complete and proper explanations, research and language usage, all as noted below. The report must be no more than 1,000 words and is to be submitted in typed, double-spaced form. A report that does not follow this form will be deducted per the grading rubric. This project is 15% of your overall grade.
THIRD ASSIGNMENT
IP- Andy King owns a small sandwich shop in Boca Raton, Florida. The shop is called "Andy The Burger King" and has been open for about one month.
Andy sells typical "burger place" food, including hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, french fries, onion rings, sodas and milkshakes. As a nod to his Cuban heritage – his mother was born in Havana – he also sells Cuban sandwiches in two sizes: "The Regular" and "The Whopper."
In his shop, Andy enjoys playing a variety of music over the speaker system. Generally, he plays whatever music he recently bought on his own and downloaded to his iTunes account. Lately, his favorite to play for his customers has been "Night Visions," an album by the band Imagine Dragons.
Andy receives two letters in the mail. The first is from the Burger King Corporation, demanding that he cease and desist the use of the name of his restaurant and the name of the large Cuban sandwich. The second is from Broadcast Music, Inc., on behalf of Imagine Dragons, advising that he must pay royalty fees to the band or stop playing the music. Both companies write that if action is not taken immediately, they will sue Andy.
What are the basics for each potential lawsuit, what are the legal analysis (including the "elements" of each legal claim) that each plaintiff (Burger King and BMI/Imagine Dragons) could use to make its argument, what defenses could Andy use, and how do you think that each case would be decided in court?
You shall be graded on your complete and proper explanations, research and language usage, all as noted below. The report must be submitted in typed, double-spaced form. A report that does not follow this form will be deducted per the grading rubric. This project is 15% of your overall grade

Under Our Wing: Chase Grant 2014
Avian Kingdom's submission to Mission Main St. Grants by Chase
1. Tell us about your business and what makes it unique. Please provide a general description of your product, customers, competitive landscape, and overall performance.
Avian Kingdom is not just award-winning books. The franchise originated from an iPhone game and its popularity propelled it into books, enrichment activities, games, and multimedia challenges that promote literacy and family values. Our customers range from the concerned parents who want their children to excel in school, Fortune 500 companies, local businesses across the nation, to independent school districts and nonprofits.
We have created and implemented the Under Our Wing literacy program unique to the industry. We believe that by helping companies and organizations achieve their marketing and outreach goals, we can also help thousands of children realize their full potential. Our team, content, and cause make for a uniquely diverse organization that understands the true meaning of success.
2. What inspired you to become an entrepreneur? Describe both your greatest achievements and biggest challenges.
Agustin, a fisherman and father, talked to me for a few minutes during a biking trip around the Huascaran in Lima, Peru. He looked at my Schwinn mountain bike and asked me if I was rich. Confused, I asked him why he thought that. Agustin talk about how Americans have everything from big homes and televisions to fancy new cars. He mentioned he was a simple family man that fished for a living. He pointed at one of the most beautiful lakes I have ever seen. Gesturing to the top of a small hill, he proudly described his family, donkey, and home. I immediately realized how the "American Dream" has somehow skewed into working eight to six until age 65 and retiring so that one can do what he or she always wanted to do. I asked Agustin what he would want to do when he retired. He answered, "I like to fish." It was at that moment that I realized that the life in your years is more important than the years in your life.
3. How is your business involved with the community you serve? Examples include: giving back to the community, sourcing locally, and/or contributing to economic development via hiring.
We created Avian Kingdom's charitable branch, the Under Our Wing literacy program, with the intention of increasing literacy rates among at-risk youth. However, the program has done more than just that. Under Our Wing's outreach efforts, encouraging mentorship, break down generational boundaries and bring communities closer together. Donating bilingual Feathered Tales, intended to be read aloud, creates scenarios in which mentors read to children in their native language, while reinforcing cultural and family values. Many of these children are recent immigrants, driven from their homeland in search of opportunity. Doing our part to help with this complex issue, Under Our Wing has reached hundreds of thousands of children, teachers, mentors, and parents across the United States.
4. What would a $150,000 grant mean to your business and how will you utilize the funds? Please be as specific as possible.
Reaching at-risk kids means overcoming challenges of resources and access to technology. This grant would be used to build additional content that can shift our program from sponsor-supported to a sustainable consumer-supported model. With an injection of funding, we can expand our program quickly, create media-rich content, and reach more children that will benefit greatly from Avian Kingdom's charitable branch, Under Our Wing. Our current projections would create a sponsor-supported program through 2015.
PR and Marketing Manager: 35%
Licensing and Hosting: 10%
Media Buy: 30%
5. What are your short-term (1-2 years) and long-term growth plans for the business? How will this grant contribute to your plan?
Under Our Wing will continue to help at-risk youth realize their potential. We will tirelessly continue to pursue distributor contracts, school district curriculum approval, and consumer sales through social media and traditional media channels. Within twenty-four months, we believe we will have the necessary revenue to help four thousand at-risk youth each month. This grant can not only help us reach this goal but make it sustainable and consumer-supported through the merchandising of our award-winning books, games, and activities in half the time.
