Dissertation Title: Fashioning a New Democracy and Empire: Reconstruction of the American Union in the Shadow of Great Britain, 1865-1880
My dissertation, "Fashioning a New Democracy and Empire: Reconstruction of the American Union in the Shadow of Great Britain, 1865-1880," traces connections between the domestic legal history of Reconstruction and changes in the United States' international position and foreign policy after the Civil War. The end of slavery, administration of the former Confederacy, and transformative amendments to the Constitution increased the reach of the federal government. Historians most often, and with great dexterity, have analyzed this process at the regional and national levels. The momentous effects of Reconstruction, however, reached beyond the nation's borders and domestic law. American leaders heeded international precedents and events as they reconstituted the nation's legal underpinnings. Their debates in turn drew attention abroad, particularly in the British Empire, during a critical period of state-building from the 1860s through the early 1880s. Confronting crises amid the rising possibility of mass democracy, British and American politicians applied lessons from each other's experiences. Drawing on American, British, and Irish archives, this dissertation demonstrates how leaders and lawmakers in the United States asserted national sovereignty in new, though halting, ways. Each chapter examines international dimensions of a key question of governance and canonical subject of Reconstruction scholarship – emancipation, land reform, expansion of the franchise, citizenship, martial law, and federalism – to gauge the far-reaching impact and influences of Reconstruction policymaking.

The Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board of Education case outlawed segregated schools. It took some time for America's classrooms to be integrated in any significant way, especially in the Deep South. To speed up the process of achieving racial balance, beginning in the 1970s in many cities white children were bused to black schools and black children were bused to white schools. But In June 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down school desegregation plans that look at students' race. This week on the podcast, we're featuring our 2007 documentary, "An Imperfect Revolution: Voices from the Desegregation Era," produced by Catherine Winter and Kate Ellis.

Aides say Yemen's Saleh to seek exile in Ethiopia
By Ahmed Al-Haj THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Aides to Ali Abdullah Saleh said Monday that the ousted Yemeni president plans to go into exile in Ethiopia, as pressures mounted on him to depart the country for fear of sparking new cycles of violence.
The news that the longtime Yemeni leader might leave to Ethiopia marks the latest twist in the meandering story of Saleh�s fall from grace.
As rumors have circulated of Saleh seeking refuge in a myriad countries including Oman, and the United Arab Emirates where some of his family is already setting up residence, the ousted president has lingered on in Yemen, much to the dismay of the man who replaced him, the international officials who facilitated the handover of power, and people on the street who want his head.
The aides said that the former president will leave Yemen within two days along with some of his family members where he will reside in a villa in the suburb of Addis Ababa.
A diplomat in Sanaa confirmed that arrangements had been made for Saleh�s departure for Ethiopia. Aides said that visas have been issued and Saleh�s belongings already shipped to Ethiopia. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
Inside the presidential palace there were signs that Saleh�s time in power was at an end.
Witnesses who went inside Monday said a whole hall that used to display precious souvenirs, antiques, golden watches, guns, hunting rifles and other paraphernalia collected under Saleh�s regime, was bare on Monday.
A senior army officer and a presidency employee told AP that the commander of the Presidential Guards, who is also Saleh�s nephew, has ordered his guards to move all the antiques to an undisclosed location. Even alcohol which Saleh used to serve to his western visitors had been carted away, said another employee.
Officials said that Saleh came under heavy pressures from Western and Arab countries to leave the country, upon repeated requests by the newly elected president and transitional government to prevent Saleh from staying in Yemen.
Newly inaugurated President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi was sworn in as president on Saturday following an election aimed at ending more than a year of political turmoil. Hadi was the only candidate. A power-transfer deal backed by the Gulf and U.S. gave Saleh immunity from prosecution in exchange for stepping down.
Saleh�s permanent departure from Yemen was not spelled out in the agreement but it was generally understood by all parties that he would find a new home. The fear was that if he stayed in Yemen permanently he would incite riots of those calling for his prosecution and, his opponents feared he would be able to exert control through his powerful network of well-placed family members and allies.
Prime Minister Mohammed Basindwa told President Obama�s chief counterterrorism advisor, John O. Brennan, during a meeting in Sanaa the night before the election that �Saleh�s return to the country means another war.� That was according to a senior Yemeni official with knowledge of the meeting.
The Yemen official said Basindwa has pleaded with the U.S. to get Saleh to leave. The U.S. sees Yemeni stability as vital to battling al-Qaida on the Saudi Arabian peninsula.
Other Yemeni officials said that members of the U.N. Security Council threatened to freeze Saleh and his family�s assets if he stayed in Yemen. They didn�t name the member states but one said, �after days of maneuvering, he accepted.�
The U.S. Embassy in Sanaa declined to comment and the Ethiopian Embassy could not immediately be reached for comment.
Saleh�s erratic behavior has been a major source of uncertainty throughout Yemen�s year of turmoil.
He slipped out of signing the accord for the power handover three times before finally agreeing to it.

Several financial advisors will share principles that help prioritize your objectives. Start saving money and attempt to meet your goals. Both can happen hand in hand; takes a little bit of effort and meticulous planning.
You might have come across many couples that have comparable incomes but have varied spending patterns. So, know where you are headed. Chalk out a clear route in your mind and maintain good spending and investment discipline. Several financial advisors will share principles that help prioritize your objectives. Start saving money and attempt to meet your goals. Both can happen hand in hand; takes a little bit of effort and meticulous planning.
Priorities change with age; revisit your goals and align them with your current needs.
Below are some ways toward achieve how you can plan your way to a financially restful retirement.
At this age, you are probably carefree; however, as responsibilities kick in, most of us realize the importance of working toward an easy post-retirement life. So avoid taking huge debt; if you wish to avail an education loan, try and get the best interest rates and apply for scholarships. This will help you a lot in the long run. Borrowing should be the last resort.
Focus on preparing a future for your children and work toward creating a debt-free retirement life. Certain decisions need to be made and implemented here. For example, ensure there is sufficient insurance protection; build an emergency fund that covers at least a year of your income and buy a home either through a home loan or a corpus for house purchase. It is not wise to retire while your home loan remains unpaid.
At this age, you will have had sufficient knowledge and experience to know how rash decisions can lead you to certain courses. You should have probably begun on an alternative income generating venture to for your post-retirement activity.
You also have a choice on either building a bigger retirement corpus or financing your children's higher education. Consider your retirement kitty and split it to cater to your monthly expenses as well as investments. Redistribute your investment assets to the less volatile debt instruments and stay less invested in equities.


It was back in 2016 that British Ceramic Tile sponsored the UK's first ever National Tile Week, 11th to 18th April. National Tile Week was conceived as a nationwide celebration of tiles, aiming to educate consumers on the quality and versatility of tiles, and how they can be used throughout the home.
Retailers were invited to take part in National Tile Week to receive exclusive promotions and deals. They were also encouraged to pass on these discounts to their customers to help drive, and received a raft of in-store materials full of top tips on tiling from British Ceramic Tile's experts.
In 2017, National Tile Week returned for a second year, between 10th and 17th April; again timed to drive sales in the run up to the Easter weekend. Last year the week examined the latest interior design trends, debunked some myths about tiles and provided practical tips to help make DIY projects easier.
Events also took place at British Ceramic Tile's London Hub in Clerkenwell on 12th April 2017 and Ted Baker's Commercial Street store on 13th April 2017. Backed by Tile Giant, the 2017 campaign took a stronger consumer approach than in its previous year, but still focused on driving tile sales during the peak DIY trading period. 2017 saw an increase in the number of UK retailers involved with the campaign, from 60 to over 300, including over 100 Tile Giant stores.
Here's hoping that this campaign gain traction in the UK in the years ahead.

Another good month on the Empties side! :) I'm proud of myself!
Even though I did well, not a lot to mention. Sometimes it's like that.
Dial Clean Rinsing Body Wash in Spring Water: I liked this as it left my skin feeling soft. I would repurchase, but in a more feminine scent. Don't get me wrong, this is nice too, but I feel it is more suitable for men.
Gehwol Fusskraft Bleu: I received this at a spa I went a while ago. Over the summer, what with the flip flops wearing, my feet were a little disgusting! I slapped it on before goin to bed, and it did a good job at moisturizing my feet and taking the dead skin off. The formula is quite greasy though, more so than other foot cream, so i wouldn't recommend using it during day time.
Escada Margaretha Ley Perfume: I love Escada perfumes. Even though in the end they all tend to smell quite the same! I find this one different though. It came in a limited edition of samples of a few of the summer scents.
Cargo Lip Gloss in Serengeti: The colour is subtle, but it was a nice "my lips but better" one. I loved the formula, again, it leaves the lips soft, and I will look for the other shades that Cargo has to offer.
Have you finished any good products lately?
Je suis d'accord avec toi, je trouve aussi que la plupart des parfums Escada se ressemblent, mais je les aime pas mal tous alors y'a pas de problème ahah!
Moi aussi j'aime bien, mais comme il se ressemblent tous, je ne les acheterais pas a tous les ans!

8 Ways Big Data Will Change Our Lives
From on-the-go healthcare to more accurate sports predictions, big data will make big changes in our day-to-day lives. Here are eight ways the technology will shape the future.
By Kristin Bent January 29, 2013, 11:00 AM EST
Big Data, Big Changes
Big data became the industry's hottest buzzword in 2012, but the impact of that technology on our day-to-day lives will be realized for years to come.
From healthcare, to sports, to the way we elect a president, big data will make big changes to the way we live our lives. Our ability to manage and analyze the massive amounts of data spawned by new data sources like social media is sparking an "extraordinary knowledge revolution," according to Rick Smolan, co-author of "The Human Face of Big Data."
Here are eight changes you can expect to see as that big data revolution continues.

Traffic westbound out of downtwon San josé to La Sabana was a nightmare Sunday afternoon. Affected also were the Ruta 27, the autopista General Cañas and the Circunvalación.
QCOSTARICA – The area around La Sabana park was a complete traffic nightmare Sunday afternoon, with the closure of the Sabana norte, traffic was diverted onto the Sabana Sur, backing up in both directions from several kilometres.
The other closures also included Paseo Colon, the Pavas main drag and Rohrmoser boulevard.
The closures were due to the Maratón de San José (San José Marathon) that began at 1:00pm, with the first place finishers coming in to the home stretch in front of the national stadium at 5:00pm.
Many drivers questions the lack of coordination and planning by the Policia de Transito (traffic police).
Others were caught by surprise, saying "I knew nothing of the marathon, had I known I would have taken another route. I a coming from Cartago headed to Alajuela and have over 40 minutes of being in the middle of the dam," Randall Gonzalez told the Q.
A trip from Plaza Mayor to the Gymnasio Nacional (national gym) located at the southeast corner of La Sabana park, took about 35 minutes at 4:50pm. The trip on a Sunday afternoon takes less than 7 minutes.
It wasn't until about 6:00pm when all the Policia de Transito began removing all the barriers and traffic started to return to normal.

Q: swiftui blendMode is not match to sketch combine mode of difference I want to show text combine with Rectangle as below image. I have already draw it in sketch by Combined Shape of Difference mode.
I code it in Xcode by SwiftUI, the code show as below:
struct DiffView: View {
    var body: some View {
        ZStack() {
            Rectangle()
                .fill(Color.blue)
                .frame(width: 50, height: 50, alignment: .center)
            Text("DIFF")
                .foregroundColor(Color.blue)
                .font(.system(size: 30, weight: .bold, design: .rounded))
                .blendMode(.difference)
                .offset(x: 20, y: 0)

        }
        .frame(width: 100, height: 100, alignment: .center)
        .background(Color.white)
    }
}

But the result is not as expected as in Sketch, the overlapping part on the left becomes black (expected to be white), and the letter on the right becomes yellow (expected to be blue).

How should I use swiftui blendMode correctly?enter code here

A: It takes into account background, so diff blue from white gives orange. So at first let's remove background from blending by using compositingGroup
struct DiffView: View {
    var body: some View {
        ZStack() {
                Color.blue
                .frame(width: 50, height: 50, alignment: .center)
            Text("DIFF")
                .foregroundColor(Color.blue)
                .font(.system(size: 30, weight: .bold, design: .rounded))
                .offset(x: 20, y: 0)
                .blendMode(.difference)
        }
        .compositingGroup()
        .frame(width: 100, height: 100, alignment: .center)
    }
}

which gives

Well it is because pure difference does not have anything in background and thus gives black color. So your effect can be achieved by the following
struct DiffView: View {
    var body: some View {
        ZStack() {
                Color.orange
                .frame(width: 50, height: 50, alignment: .center)
            Text("DIFF")
                .foregroundColor(Color.orange)
                .font(.system(size: 30, weight: .bold, design: .rounded))
                .offset(x: 20, y: 0)
                .blendMode(.difference)
        }
        .compositingGroup()
        .colorInvert()
        .frame(width: 100, height: 100, alignment: .center)
    }
}

On This Day: Continental Congress Votes to Declare Independence From Britain
by findingDulcinea Staff
On July 2, 1776, a day John Adams called America's "most memorable," the Second Continental Congress passed the Lee Resolution, severing the Colonies' ties with Britain.
Second Continental Congress Approves Declaration of Independence
In May 1776, little over a year after the first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired, the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia and debated whether the American Colonies should declare independence from Britain.
On June 7, 1776, Virginia delegate Richard Henry Lee presented the resolution of independence, or the Lee Resolution, which proposed declaring independence, forming foreign alliances and forming a confederation.
The first part of the resolution stated, "Resolved, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."

Massachusetts Historical Society: Letter from John Adams to Abigail Adams, 3 July 1776
Massachusetts Historical Society: The First Continental Congress
Voting on the resolution was arranged for July 2, so that delegates could discuss the proposals with the governments of their colonies. Five members—John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert R. Livingston and Roger Sherman—were assigned to prepare a document explaining the reasons for independence. This document, written primarily by Jefferson, would be the Declaration of Independence.
When the Congress reconvened in July, 12 of the 13 colonies voted to pass the first stipulation of the Lee Resolution, with the New York delegation—which had not received approval from the New York Convention—abstaining. Two days later, the Declaration of Independence was published.
Adams, in a letter to his wife Abigail on July 3, wrote, "The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty."
Background: The Continental Congress
The Continental Congress, an assembly of delegates from the 13 Colonies, served as America's de facto government from 1774 to 1789, when it was replaced by the United States Congress.
The First Continental Congress, consisting of approximately 50 delegates from 12 colonies (Georgia was absent), met for the first time in Philadelphia on Sept. 5, 1774, in response to Britain passing the Intolerable Acts. The delegates, under the leadership of Virginia's Peyton Randolph, called for a boycott of British products and agreed to meet again in the spring.
The Second Continental Congress, with representatives from every colony, met on May 10, 1775, less than three weeks after the battles of Lexington and Concord signaled the start of the Revolutionary War.

The delegates engaged in serious debate on whether to pursue the war for independence or to seek reconciliation. On June 14, it formed the Continental Army under the command of Virginia delegate George Washington. It also printed money and negotiated with foreign countries for financial or military support.
As fighting continued, hope of reconciliation waned and support for declaring independence grew. On May 10, 1776, the Congress issued a resolution ordering Colonies to form their own governments. John Adams added a preamble to this resolution that was "[d]esigned to encourage the suppression of royal government in the colonies," explains the Massachusetts Historical Society.
After declaring independence in July 1776, the Second Continental Congress continued to meet during the war, organizing the war effort and establishing diplomatic relations with other countries. The Second Continental Congress was replaced in 1781 by the Congress of the Confederation, following the ratification of the Articles of Confederation.

The legendary Jeff Ho - of Dogtown and Z-Boys fame - has experimented with a wide variety of board designs, tail shapes and fins. These orange fiberglass keel fins from the early 1970's were often cut on the trailing edge to produce a distinct flex feel, allowing the surfer to creatively express themselves on the wave.

In most societies around the world, it's traditionally up to the guy to initiate a couple's first kiss. If you're a girl, this takes a lot of pressure off you, but sometimes it can be frustrating if you want to be kissed but your guy is a little too shy to try to kiss you. Here's how to hint that you would like to be kissed.
Look approachable. Because of respect for your wishes (and the fear of rejection) a guy generally won't try for a first kiss unless he's pretty sure you want him to. If you do, you should try to make him feel comfortable and confident. Flirt with him, Laugh at his jokes, smile a lot, and compliment him. If you put him at ease and let him know you enjoy being with him, he'll usually find the courage to try to kiss you.
Break the touch barrier. Touch him lightly on the arm or shoulder when you're talking. Just make it a quick, innocent touch and don't make a big deal out of it. Holding hands is also a good way to break the touch barrier. The simple act of touching can strengthen the intimacy between you and him. Sometimes a guy will break the touch barrier, and if you're comfortable with him doing so, touch him back. But don't wait for a guy to make the first move here, because girls can generally get away with breaking the touch barrier earlier in a relationship more than guys can.
One good way of breaking the touch barrier is to "compare hand sizes" then smile and lace your fingers for a moment. This is a cute way to break the barrier. If he seems fine with that, try holding his hand. If the guy seems to be talking a lot, especially if he's talking quickly, he could be nervous because he's thinking about kissing you. In this case, tell him, "You talk too much." Say it playfully and with a smile, and maybe even briefly put your finger to his lips as though you're "shushing" him. He will most probably initiate a kiss. One way to get a guy to move closer is to pretend to shake as though you're cold. If he doesn't get it right away, then rub your hands up and down against your arms; this will get his attention and maybe hint to him what you're trying to do. If still he doesn't snuggle up to you, you'll have a good excuse to snuggle up to him.
Look at his lips. When you're alone with a guy and want to be kissed, make eye contact and then move your gaze briefly down to his lips. Then move your eyes back up to meet his and smile demurely. You don't have to be really obvious about it. Many guys will take the hint, especially if they've read one of the many articles that lists this as a sign that a girl wants to be kissed. If it doesn't work the first time, try again when the time is right.
Move in. You have to be close to each other to kiss, and the less distance a guy has to travel to kiss you, the easier it is for him to give it a try. So get close. When the moment seems right, put your face close to his and look at him expectantly. If you're brave, you could try moving in as though you're going to kiss him. Hopefully he'll take the hint and kiss you, but if he doesn't you can give him a playful little kiss on the cheek.
Talk about it. If the guy isn't taking your subtle hints, bring up kissing in conversation. For example, if you're watching a movie together and see an on-screen kiss, mention that it's "so romantic" or something to that effect. If the guy is really shy, you might just want to put it on the line and tell him that you'd like him to kiss you.
6Kiss him. There's no law that says the guy has to initiate the kiss, and some guys--especially if they've never kissed a girl before--just won't take your hints. If you want to kiss him, just go ahead and do it.

An informed Protestant commentator says that "many Christians today, including theologians openly acknowledge that their prayer life is virtually nonexistent."
A rather sad observation, but not too surprising. Many Christians are spiritually poverty-stricken. Ours is not a time of spiritual power. But it should not puzzle us that many find it difficult to pray these days.
The vertical relationship with God is de-emphasized while the horizontal relationship with God is stressed to such an extent that little room is left for prayer. We have to be with it in the here and the now. We apparently don't need to tap any more the fountain of spiritual life giving waters in order to get the strength to be the doers of the faith.
Yet, thoughtful Christians know that they, cannot do without prayer. When Christians scan the affairs of men and of nations with a discerning spirit, they cannot help but pray. The needs of the world make them turn to God.
Furthermore, they study the Scriptures and discover that God commands them to pray. Yes, the Almighty God tells them to pray! They have no choice in the matter. And why shouldn't they pray? If God is their Father through Jesus Christ, the Lord, shouldn't there be regular conversation?
Prayer is miraculous. Imagine human beings talking with the Almighty God! Yes, Christians do converse with God. Prayer is never a one way communication. Of course many prayers have no address and are like telegrams sent to nowhere.
You have desperate people who send up a quick prayer. They consider prayer just like a button you need to push in case of fire, an emergency measure. Others consider God like a grocery store. You send in your list of wants and there will be automatic delivery.
How is it possible that small, finite men are allowed to talk with the Almighty and infinite God? Why does God still bother to listen to His creatures? Why is it that God can listen to each one of us individually while at the very moment that we are praying thousands of fellow Christians around the world are praying?
There have always been questions, intellectual difficulties, and personal trials to challenge the people as they try to pray. We find the greatness of God so hard to grasp. But prayer is beautiful, real and yet mysterious. We commune with the Almighty God who is there, and not with a man. We forget this so often. We try to pull God into our system of thought. He has to follow our wishes and has to conform to our thought pattern, as if He were like one of us.
Prayer has always sustained Christians. They have always considered it as important as the air they breathe. They knew that without prayer spiritual life withers and dies. No exuberant relationship with God was considered possible without this daily prayer fellowship.
"Though I am sinful and unworthy, still I have the commandment of God, telling me to pray, and His promise, that He will graciously hear me, not on account of my worthiness, but on account of the Lord Jesus Christ."
Martin Luther was a very busy man, but he was a man of much prayer. Adoniram Judson, one of the greatest American missionaries, was emphatic in his insistence upon prayer. He remarked: "Be resolute in prayer. Make any sacrifice to maintain it. Consider that time is short and that business and company must not be allowed to rob thee of thy God."
Miss Helen Wiliis, a missionary who was able to operate a Christian bookshop in Shanghai until April 1958, wrote a book, Through Encouragement of the Scriptures: Ten Years in Communist Shanghai, after she was expelled. She tells how communists' hated and feared prayer.
One charge against her was that she had supplied information used by the imperialists as prayer topics. She tells of a young man in the far west of China, an only son, who prayed for his widowed mother with an incurable disease in Shanghai. In prison he was told that he would be released if he stopped praying; but he would not.
How we need this spirit of prayer today! Spiritual vitality can only come through persistent prayer. Much prayer is needed! Never think that praying is a waste of precious time! We can pray with assurance and confidence, and make our petitions for others and ourselves, but only when we go to the right address. When we come in trust to God through Jesus Christ, we will be heard. Like the disciples we should plead: "Lord, teach us to pray."

I approach the task of focusing on what I hope we as a council can accomplish in 2021 with great humility. I say that, not because I don't have goals, but because 2020 demonstrated that no matter how thorough our plans, they can be quickly overtaken by events.
One year ago, I assumed that we would focus on zoning, climate change-related issues, the transit study and affordable housing. None of us could have imagined that a pandemic, combined with a long-overdue social justice movement, would come to the forefront.
City Council and staff have worked hard on COVID-19 in terms of preparedness, flexibility, helping those in need, following the science, communicating and coordinating with other governmental entities, the university, student government, Johnson County Public Health, the business community and nonprofits. This work will not end on December 31.
As the self-appointed COVID bulldog on Iowa City Council, I will continue that work as we strive to keep people as safe as possible, support our health care and essential workers, help as many as we can and get people vaccinated. We must deal effectively with COVID to allow other crucial aspects of our daily lives to recover.
Black Lives Matter is indispensable work that will continue for the duration of my term on council and beyond. Whatever we do — from our 17-point resolution to standing up the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, to working on reforms to our police department, shifting tasks to those better suited to work on them, coordinating with the new GuideLink Center, improving education, healing, seeking equity, access and transparency — it is ongoing, necessary work. The plan to restructure and reform our police department will require considerable time and energy and buy-in from us all. Black lives matter.
I hope the coming year will be one of gradual recovery. It is an opportunity to knit community together at all levels, including the arts and business. I aim to continue to work across government entities and with our nonprofit community in a meaningful way, much as we have on COVID, because coordination allows us to learn from one other and avoid duplication of efforts. We also need to focus on lessons learned that can instruct future preparedness. Those lessons, I have no doubt, will include new best practices.
Those goals are foundational. I would also like to spearhead changes to our zoning laws to make it easier to create the missing middle and simplify requirements where possible. We need to grow, and we can steer that growth to ensure it is smart and sustainable. I'd like to explore how to reinvigorate the Sycamore Mall area and see if it is possible to create a safer link between the South District and that area under or over Highway 6. I want to continue to focus on creating a new affordable housing plan — bringing all stakeholders to the table, including those who know the cost to build, nonprofits that support affordable housing and those who live in affordable units.
We must also view everything we do through the climate change lens. With the benefit of hindsight, I view the Waterworks Park solar project as a lost opportunity. Many of us — especially those of us with privilege — have to learn to give on issues so the community as a whole can benefit. As many have said, our house is on fire, and we must to do all in our power at the local level to extinguish it.
Going forward, we must also focus on improving communication. That means coordinating better with commissions, nonprofits and neighborhood associations. It means communicating what the city is doing or proposing and why, as well as two-way communication with our community. We have always done this, but the pandemic and BLM have taught us that we need to expand the modalities via which this happens.
Finally, it will always be about public service — serving our people and our community. It will be about appreciating our people — both staff and volunteers, who showed enormous flexibility and grit throughout 2020, as did our citizens — and continuing to endeavor to make our city a better place to live.

BARCELONA, Feb. 24 (Yonhap) -- Samsung Electronics Co. said Sunday it will showcase a diverse array of its 5G solutions ranging from chipsets and gear to smartphones and live-streaming capabilities when business representatives gather in Barcelona for the world's largest mobile show.
The South Korean tech giant said it is prepared to introduce its end-to-end solutions for the next-generation cellular technology during MWC 2019, formerly the Mobile World Congress, which runs from Monday to Thursday.
The global market leader in smartphones and memory chips has been stepping up promotions of its 5G technology, gear and devices as it strives for a bigger slice of the market in the coming era of 5G.
With the slowing memory market after a two-year super cycle and flattening demand for new smartphones, Samsung said it will seek new business opportunities with carriers and tech suppliers during this year's congress.
"We at Samsung have combined our expertise in being one of the early innovators in 5G commercial services -- above and below 6 GHz bands to date and this groundbreaking leadership led us to achieve over 36,000 5G base station shipments as of February 2019," Paul Kyungwhoon Cheun, head of Samsung's networks business, said in a release.
"Being the only company in the world to deploy and provide 5G end-to-end solutions in the U.S. and Korea, we will continue to advance our innovative endeavors and push the boundaries in 5G technology."
Samsung's bid to highlight its 5G solutions comes as Huawei, the world's largest telecom equipment maker, faces growing pressure from the United States amid a trade war. The Donald Trump administration has accused the Chinese firm of being a security threat and encouraged mobile operators in the U.S., Europe and other countries to break off relations with Huawei.
Samsung, which is considered a relatively minor alternative 5G supplier compared with European companies like Ericsson and Nokia for now, said it will leverage its commercially proven 5G leadership to expand its foothold in emerging markets.
Samsung currently has a mere 3 percent share in the 5G equipment sector, lagging far behind Huawei's 28 percent and Ericsson's 27 percent, according to market researcher IHS Markit. The company earlier set a goal of capturing a 20 percent share in the 5G equipment market by 2022.
During MWC, Samsung said it will team up with American IT company Cisco and Orange Spain, a mobile operator in Spain, to demonstrate 5G-powered use cases in various industries.
For enterprise clients, the company will demonstrate artificial intelligence-based 5G network management solutions with Zhilabs, acquired by Samsung through acquisition in October.
Samsung also presents a portfolio of chips, including the Exynos Modem 5100 compliant with 5G New Radio standard for faster data speeds up to 6 gigabytes per second.
Besides such devices, Samsung will show its new 5G Radio Frequency (RF) chipsets that support 28 GHz and 39 GHz. Using these new RF chipsets, 5G base stations will be approximately 25 percent smaller, lighter and less power consuming compared with previous iterations, it said.
Also on display at Samsung's booth will be its latest Galaxy S10 lineup with 5G models and its first foldable phone, which wowed the world during a closely watched launching event in San Francisco on Wednesday.
With 5G connectivity, the Galaxy S10 5G can access network speeds up to roughly 20 times faster than 4G networks, supporting hyper-fast streaming, 4K video calls and next-level mobile gaming, the handset maker said.
Galaxy S10 5G will be released in South Korea next month in time for the commercial rollout of 5G service in Asia's leading tech hub.
The company will also launch a foldable phone with 5G connection in its home turf in May, the world's first phone with a flexible screen and six cameras.
A mobile edge cloud game on the company's first 5G smartphone will be demonstrated live, by being connected to Samsung's live 5G network solutions.
"For more than 35 years, we've led the industry in new hardware and services that have helped to revolutionize the consumer experience," said DJ Koh, head of Samsung's IT & mobile communications division.
"At MWC this year, we're showcasing the remarkable breadth of our expanding connected ecosystem, from game-changing 5G end-to-end solutions to outstanding new additions to the Galaxy family, such as the Galaxy Fold and the Galaxy S10 5G."
Over the four-day trade show, the company will live broadcast the MWC's official media channel using its 5G network throughout the venue and to 280 hotels in Barcelona.

The founder of an organisation set up to help Hull's homeless has revealed how the group will spend the thousands of pounds received in donations over Christmas.
At the end of October, Carl Simpson, who set up Raise The Roof Hull Homeless Project, created a GoFundMe page to raise £2,000 to pay for rough sleepers to spend the night at Christmas.
After initially booking for more than two dozen homeless people to stay at Hull's Royal Hotel, the kind gesture was in jeopardy when the Ferensway establishment cancelled the booking just days before Christmas.
It prompted an outpouring of generosity by the people of Hull who were quick to donate cash to the cause - resulting in a staggering £10,000 for the organisation.
At the same time, the Doubletree by Hilton in Hull came to the rescue to give almost 30 rough sleepers somewhere to stay on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day - for free.
So the £10,000 has gone untouched and now Raise the Roof, after many discussions with the Raise the Rood directors, they have today revealed what they will spend the money on.
Posting on the Raise The Roof Facebook page, Mr Simpson said: "We have had some fantastic ideas of how we can help further. We have decided it must be something that can sustain itself as we get no government funding and we don't want to start something that we won't be able to upkeep.
"There are lots of people doing soup kitchens as well as ourselves across Hull doing fantastic work all week. These kitchens don't just serve food they are the frontline, where people that need help can be identified, we don't just serve homeless people but anyone suffering severe poverty.
Do you agree with what the money is being spent on?
"On this front we shall be buying a food van to support ANY soup kitchen during the week running or wanting to start up with a legal place to heat up food or cook food on site.
How will they afford the upkeep?
Mr Simpson has revealed his café and burger bar in English Street will be ran as a non-profit community organisation and will act as a "base in the city" to give to the community, with the café set to be run by Raise The Roof as an entity.
With plans to widen its reach, Mr Simpson said volunteer positions will be up for grabs with YH Training in Prospect Street set to offer people work, food hygiene and on the job training as well as help to obtain their maths and English certificates.
Mr Simpson has also told followers how the group will be able to afford the upkeep of its charitable venture.
He said: "During the day we run an established café and at weekends we'll be using our food van at events. Together these will cover running costs, making it an ongoing solution. We have also spoken to the food safety team at Hull City Council and they fully support this.


It turned into an atrociously nasty runoff. The same crew who failed Governor Rick Perry's Presidential bid has now also sunk David Dewhurst's bid for the Senate and spent tens of millions of dollars in the process. Along the way they damaged Governor Perry's credibility with the tea party and picked every scab possible to make Ted Cruz's election as painful as possible.Who knows — maybe they'll cut Dewhurst a deal on a gubernatorial bid in two years.Despite all the barbs and lies and dirty tricks, including phone calls to Cruz voters during yesterday's primary telling them to vote today, Ted Cruz won.It is a very satisfying victory. Ted has spoken at every RedState Gathering and will be the first speaker at this year's Gathering too. He will make a fine Senator.A lot of people are going to give lots of credit to lots of people for Ted Cruz's win. Success has many fathers. A lot of people will also make a lot of wild claims about what it means for the GOP and its supposed radical drift right — a drift right that in 2010 saw it pick up more electoral victories than any time since the late 1800's.One thing a lot of people will fail to comment on is that the Tea Party victories of 2010 have morphed into anti-establishment victories in 2012. On both the left and right, the base hates its leaders. It has moved beyond distrust to contempt.
In Georgia last night Republican voters across the state rejected Republican proposals for infrastructure taxes and spending and, in the process, threw out a number of incumbent Republicans in retribution. In Texas, several strong conservatives got the nod over candidates backed by Republican leaders. In Florida, Michigan, Tennessee, and Arizona, as the primaries get closer, voters are rallying to the outsiders, the real small government conservatives, and the people most likely to pick a fight with their own party.The media views these races as the "fringe" taking over. But the media has been and is as much a part of the problem as the people being thrown on the ash heap of history in these primaries. The media likes the "smart" guys who sit in the room and make deals. Voters increasingly want people to say not just "no" but "hell no."Should Ted Cruz win the general election, and the odds are in his favor, he will join Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Pat Toomey, and Ron Johnson as yet another Senator who owed his nomination more to Jim DeMint than the Republican leaders in Congress.Already, as the sun rises this morning, there is a great game of co-opting happening. Republican leaders and conservative establishmentarians are already whispering that Ted is a "reasonable" and "smart" conservative. "He won't be like Jim DeMint."Ted Cruz established himself by being like Jim DeMint. He better remember that as the great fellating of his ego by Washington insiders begins. The Republicans in Washington aim to co-opt him, to pacify him, and to make him an ally in preservation of the status quo. They will use conservative editorialists, fundraisers, and others to do the dirty work. They will try to surround him with staff who can "tame" him and "show him the ropes." They will push conservative think tankers on him who know the game and where their real allegiance is. They will try to undermine him while building him up.Washington insiders always try to bring outsiders to the inside. Jim DeMint remains a hero to the antiestablishment crowd because that crowd knows he won't be bought off. Ted Cruz will, we can all hope and expect, be a Texas version of Jim DeMint, and not just another go along to get along Republican on the way past $16 trillion in debt.The message of this election is that the trend continues — the base is tired of politics and usual and back room compromises that keep growing government. The base wants Ted Cruz to fight.One parting point worth reiterating – the Perry-Dewhurst shared campaign team spent $50 million in the past year to ruin the reputations of Rick Perry and Ted Cruz. That's just sad.

Review: Tempestuous
Tempestuous (ARC) by Lesley Livingston
Publisher: HarperTeen
Pub. Date: December 21st, 2010
Series: Wondrous Strange Trilogy, #3
Source: For review
"I don't love Sonny Flannery."
That's the lie Kelley Winslow told to protect the boy she loves from a power he doesn't know he possesses. Devastated, Sonny retreats—to a haven for Lost Fae that's hidden deep underneath New York City.
But Kelley's not about to let things end in heartbreak. To get Sonny back, she's got to find out who's after his magick—and how to use her own. She's got to uncover who's recruiting Janus Guards to murderously hunt innocent Faerie. She's got to help rebuild the shattered theater company she called family. And she's got to do it all without getting dangerously distracted by the Fennrys Wolf, whose legendary heart of stone seems to melt whenever he's around Kelley.
The intrigue and romance that began with Wondrous strange and Darklight come to a stormy head in Tempestuous, the breathtaking conclusion to Lesley Livingston's ravishing urban Faerie trilogy.
Review (Spoiler free!)
With Tempestuous, Lesley Livingston draws her enchanting trilogy to a satisfying and exciting close.
Both Kelley and Sonny start out on the mopey side, something due to what happened at the end of Darklight. This annoyed me somewhat but more so with Sonny. I say this because I could kind of see where Kelley was coming from with what she did but I was disappointed that Sonny was so quick to believe her, regardless of the faeries don't lie thing. I wanted to see him confront her instead of wandering off, acting jaded, and I confess, he lost some of his charm for me in this one. Thankfully, they overcame their obvious communication issues and I got to see Kelley's fierce and fiery side reappear as well as Sonny's stronger, more determined side. There were some characters I really would have liked to have seen more of, particularly Tyff, Bob, and Kelley's theater folk. However, I did get more of Fennrys, my favorite viking Janus guard, no offense Sonny boy. I'll tell you, there is something about him, the way he takes charge and says what he means, that I love. True, he made a poor judgement call but I felt this furthered his character and he really redeemed himself in the end. I was also introduced to some new supporting characters, my favorite of which was Neerya, an adorable, darling little faerie girl.
Like the lovely books that came before it, Tempestuous was fast-paced and full of action, with never a dull moment. And yet, the book never moved too quickly, but at just the right pace. There was predictability but there was also suspense, a few twists, and I fell even more in love with the New York City setting, especially with the new additions of the underground haven and the island. For some reason though, I couldn't shake the sense that something was missing, something that the other books had but this one didn't and I just can't seem to place my finger on it. Maybe it was knowing that there was nothing left to come after this, that it was the end of this illuminating journey. Also, I had a couple of moments where I felt slightly lost but that was not the book's fault. There just happened to be a huge time gap between my reading Darklight and Tempestuous, but I was eventually able to straighten out all the old facts and details in my head.
Livingston's writing style was just as magical and beautiful as in to the two previous books. Both the third person narrative and the alternating perspectives continued to work just as well as before. The only thing that stood out to me as different was the occasional repetitiveness of the writing, though I'm sure this was probably fixed in the final copy.
Okay so the ending wasn't a total shocker since I kinda sorta already knew who was behind everything. However, I thoroughly enjoyed getting to see all the loose ends pulled together and knotted, with all my questions being answered. So while I would have liked to have been a touch more surprised, the ending was, overall, an excellent way to tie everything up.
All in all, while Tempestuous may not be my favorite in this trilogy, I still thought it was a great, compelling final installment. And in case you were wondering, Darklight is my favorite of the three. Honestly folks, Livingston possesses some seriously amazing writing skill and has crafted a delightful, luminous story with her Wondrous Strange Trilogy. As a whole, I love these books and highly recommend them; I know that I'll be revisiting them again in the future.

I just finished Tempestuous today, so it was really interesting to read your thoughts, and I have some of my own, in response;
I think Sonny believed Kelley so quickly was because of the whole "Faeries Don't Lie" thing.
Bob. Was. Awesome. Ever since reading the Iron King by Julie Kagawa, I have been completely in love with Puck, no matter what shape, form, or name he has.
Fennrys kind of creeped me out. He's how old, again? But he really kept me guessing until the end.
The Lost Fae were great. I loved Neerya, though I couldn't remember Carys from Darklight for the life of me...
Coming from New York City myself, I love the fantastical elements. :)
I'm totally going to miss this trilogy :(
I had the same confusion as you in the beginning, after having finished Darklight so long ago.
I'm going to miss this a lot, more and more as I keep thinking about it. Nice review, glad you enjoyed it, mostly!

Teams look fairly balanced, now how are you gonna balance the whole batch of new players?
WHO WANT TO BE A LEADER AND CLAIM TEAM A or B?
The era hasn't ended yet. I say we put leaderships up for votes.
Once era has ended we can now all move to the places decided.
why anon is higher than me?
told you this is what happens when you put ppl into tiers. VUers have inflated egos!
I'd like to say hello to everyone. I am well and truly an newbie to this game and Prince Barigan and I have exchanged a few messages. Mainly welcoming me to the game and offering advice.
Well, with everyones permission I would like to make a suggestion for the next era.
As I stated, I am a Newbie and therefore still learning the mechanics of the game. What I would like to offer, rather then be part of the Good or Evil I be left alone whilst I just pick up more of the mechanics of the game and see how city growth works etc.
I would be a mercenary. Armies to hire. We can talk price and my armies will, can assist your battles. Any settlements I take in the name of a faction I leave undefended for my employee's to capture or if left unattended for their foe to retake their land.
In return, I only ask my keeps be left alone, I alone can never defeat a faction so I am no threat to any of you in that sense but I truly have nothing to stop any incursions.
I believe this could make an interesting twist to the game. We could play politics over my armies. Either way, looking forward to playing with you all and will make a new thread explaining my terms and prices as well as any thoughts you may have.
i would suggest leaving "mercenary(s)" out of the picture for now as a slow progress of increasing players is the main focus/key. As it is a potential option for when there is more progression of players playing that an optional "mercenary" group(s) becomes available. But i think for now that having a Group A and Group B is a more realistic thing for the moment and would disagree having any untagged person onto a world with being left aside with to farm and play for themselves with no potential harm against a untagged militant. I would say most people would jump on the bandwagon to be a mercenary, then ended up with a small group of people who are actually playing the GvE.
hillwood, thanks for your idea, but there are world other than GvE for you to make that offer. GvE was intended for be a massive kingdom 1v1 world only. we aren't trying to have ANY untagged players.
Well my suggestion was only to let me learn, I don't even think I chose the Good vs Evil world. I can respect your decisions.
I was fully willing to roleplay, i had no desire of making a faction. It is a shame, I would have happily abided by any ruling. Only one settlement, after all. I have so far understand that if I get too big I couldn't attack anyone (So that loses me motive). Any actions could have been made public. Where I am going, my price (it could be beaten), it's size, who hired me, etc.
But I guess this would all be on the word of a stranger, so couldn't be trusted ... If I became to threatening, i could have been attacked. There really is no ruling against that, by leaving me alone i have no bias against you and would willingly fight for you.
Could have been fun. Best of luck to you all in the next era.
The GvE provides players to everyone to improve their game play across the board, sadly that you are not willing to make an effort to attempt to play in a massive alliance with a number of the most experienced players that can provide essentials of mechanics and growth that they can provide. This is what this world was for, to share the "secrets" and/or knowledge to provide to the newbie and the other experienced players.
Though respecting your wishes that you may wanting to play on your own and learn from your own mistakes potentially not learning what mistakes you have made without probably given exponentially better tips to improve your gaming.
I suggest that you would reconsider the benefits of joining a massive guild with much experience in the alliance that will provide a huge benefit to what people have to offer, than on your own.
I would like to join Team A please?
Just have Barny and Binh as the team leaders they just so happen to be first, and i would like to believe both of them are respected members of the community enough to choose good vices and to help direct there kingdoms to the best of there ability.
as to Mr Hillwoods Point, I believe like i said before that untagged players should not be allowed to farm on this world, because we either agree to kill them off or leave them alone, they also could put cities in important strategic places for both kingdoms, and like this era not have the same view as the rest of the world on ending the era.
I believe the best would be coming to a decision on who the 2 captains should be based on history (so they know most players) and performance. Those captains can take turns picking players 1 by 1 out of the players who played in the current GvE era and let any newcomers just get shuffled onto each team. They could just privately do it over skype so it goes quickly.
I personally think Barny, Binh, and Horus are the best possible options for captain and I think many people will agree.
I've been pretty busy still (will be very active next era on Round 2 GvE, busy with wiki/otherstuff) but that list looks fairly balanced, good work Horus.
1. If I am more active than Binh next round (I suspect I might be, as I will be pretty active) then Team A might be slightly more active than Team B as a whole, but I see skype users on both teams which is good and it's really hard to make the teams much more balanced than this.
2. I have 3 new players/friends I am working closely with- someone I live with (and thus he can't play GvE as he must use a character on my account) and Lampercut/Dwarf Dwarf. Dwarf Dwarf is more active (not on the list yet) and I don't want to be on the same team as both of my noobs or against both of my noobs, so we should split them accordingly and probably put me on the same team as Lampercut to balance activity levels across the teams.
It would imbalance the teams if my 2 noobs ended up being active/highly impactful next era like I suspect and hope they will be, so I'd like the less active of the two (and subsequently the less experienced) which is Lamperkat.
i would like to pick my noob to team A. TBL WHERE ARE YOU?
Excellent Penguin is going to give my less experienced noob some help if I don't get on his team, ty Penguin!
If only TBL were here, maybe one of my noobs could teach him the game?
after me and tbl had a beer drinking contest in november, he has never been the same since....only the stormy love can save him!
Shatteredworlds again? Isn't the map on rotation?
You people keep asking for captains and a draft. ... you are falling to realize that binh and barn DON'T WANT TO BE LEADERS.
Also, a 1 by 1 draft is tough because noone knows everyone.
Again, every time I ask for volunteers I get crickets.
hell just make the teams .
why is something that has been organised by Horus for us still to hard to do .. ?
Anyone who wants to jump to Kingdom of Good just send in an app I will accept it and add you to our skype chat.
Binh and Dark Spawn have already joined.
Please try and join a kingdom, we are trying to play GvE as it was intended, only 2 kingdoms.
Why did Binh join team A when he's leading team b?
You got the wrong team mate.
Well since I left Evil to join Good, I can not change any more.
It should not matter, its the veterans that make a difference, I will stay in Good then and someone else that was not written down will join Evil, should not be a problem I hope.
I am glad to see people actually moving around.
Btw people should vote on the Good side leader.
We are waiting for the leaders of Evil to accept your application.
For a good game we need a good balance, 37 against 25 is not.
i know it appears very unbalanced but alot of people in Evil are newer players/inactive.
I do hope kingdom of Good gets another players else it will still be unbalanced.
Good should be actively messaging and seeking out untagged players that have spawned around them like 'Romulas' and other people that I assume are outside of Evil's line of sight (N-not that we aren't all-knowing and all-seeing!).
There are about 4 kdless players near Evil and one of them has joined us and is immediately going to contribute to the kingdom, last era Evil took in 6~ kdless players (new players/returning vets) during the era and I think Good took in less than 4.
Evil also has a Skype channel with a few people in it again, I hope Good at least has some sort of optional skype/irc set up.
Assuming those things are done things should be relatively close but slightly favoring Evil based on spawn location (less open core) and player numbers.
Is that Orc gonna run at our feared Elf player? I feel like I've seen this happen before.


TCP/IP is a set of protocols developed to allow cooperating computers to share resources across a network. It was developed by a community of researchers centered around the ARPAnet. Certainly theARPAnet is the best-known TCP/IP network. However as of June, 87, at least 130 different vendors had products that support TCP/IP, and thousands of networks of all kinds use it. First some basic definitions.
The most accurate name for the set of protocols we are describing is the "Internet protocol suite". TCP and IP are two of the protocols in this suite. Because TCP and IP are the best known of the protocols, it has become common to use the term TCP/IP or IP/TCP to refer to the whole family. It is probably not worth fighting this habit. However this can lead to some oddities. For example, I find myself talking about NFS as being based on TCP/IP, even though it doesn't use TCP at all.
The Internet is a collection of networks, including the Arpanet, NSFnet, regional networks such as NYsernet, local networks at a number of University and research institutions, and a number of military networks. The term "Internet" applies to this entire set of networks. The subset of them that is managed by the Department of Defense is referred to as the "DDN" (Defense Data Network).
This includes some research-oriented networks, such as the Arpanet, as well as more strictly military ones. (Because much of the funding for Internet and DDN can sometimes seem equivalent.) All of these networks are connected to each other. Users can send messages from any of them to any other, except where there are security or other policy restrictions on access. Officially speaking, the Internet protocol documents are simply standards adopted by the Internet community for its own use. More recently, the Department of Defense issued a MILSPEC definition of TCP/IP.
This was intended to be a more formal definition, appropriate for use in purchasing specifications. However most of the TCP/IP community continues to use the Internet standards.
The MILSPEC version is intended to be consistent with it.Whatever it is called, TCP/IP is a family of protocols. A few provide "low-level" functions needed for many applications. These include IP, TCP, and UDP. (These will be described in a bit more detail later.) Others are protocols for doing specific tasks, e.g. transferring files between computers, sending mail, or finding out who is logged in on another computer.
Initially TCP/IP was used mostly between minicomputers or mainframes. These machines had their own disks, and generally were self-contained.
- file transfer. The file transfer protocol (FTP) allows a user on any computer to get files from another computer, or to send files to another computer.
- remote login. The network terminal protocol (TELNET) allows a user to log in on any other computer on the network. You start a remote session by specifying a computer to connect to.
- computer mail. This allows you to send messages to users on other computers. Originally, people tended to use only one or two specific computers.
- network file systems. This allows a system to access files on another computer in a somewhat more closely integrated fashion than FTP. A network file system provides the illusion that disks or other devices from one system are directly connected to other systems.
- remote printing. This allows you to access printers on other computers as if they were directly attached to yours. (The most commonly used protocol is the remote lineprinter protocol from Berkeley Unix).


The City of Paris and Mariage Frères have come together to create three prestigious gourmet teas, infused with charm and poetry, for the morning, afternoon and evening.
As a global city, Paris buzzes with vibrant activity throughout the day. The thousand and one wonders of the Marais set the majestic scene for its youthful and refined ambiance. Paris-Marais tea is a naturally refreshing and invigorating green tea, enhanced by fruity ginger giving it a touch of spice, balanced with fresh rose petals and a hint of citrus fruits. The overall effect is intense, dynamic, and ideal for afternoon revelry.

'O Brother, Where Art Thou?': 10 Things to Know About the Classic Soundtrack
Angela Stefano Published: December 1, 2020
In December 2000, the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? and its accompanying soundtrack put bluegrass and traditional country music in the pop culture spotlight. The Coen Brothers satirical comedy-drama about three Great Depression-era chain gang escapees, loosely based on Homer's Odyssey, prominently features the music of Alison Krauss, Ralph Stanley and many others, and both the film and its soundtrack were massive successes.
Throughout O Brother, Where Art Thou?, music plays a key role: Escaped convicts Ulysses Everett McGill (George Clooney), Pete (John Turtorro) and Delmar O'Donnell (Tim Blake Nelson), along with blues musician Tommy Johnson (Chris Thomas King), record a song called "Man of Constant Sorrow" that becomes a hit. In the film and on the soundtrack, they're billed as the Soggy Bottom Boys, but their voices are those of Alison Krauss and Union Station member Dan Tyminski, Nashville Bluegrass Band member Pat Enright and Music City songwriter Harley Allen.
The song was a hit in the real world too: "Man of Constant Sorrow" charted in the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and earned three major awards: Best Country Collaboration With Vocals at the Grammys, Song of the Year at the International Bluegrass Music Association Awards and Single of the Year at the CMA Awards. It's been certified platinum, too -- but that's nothing compared to the soundtrack's success as a whole.
Produced by T-Bone Burnett, the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack was a smash, eventually racking up platinum certification a whopping eight times. It earned four major Album of the Year honors and, in 2011, an expanded 10th anniversary release; its Ralph Stanley cut, "O Death," also received Best Male Country Vocal Performance at the Grammy Awards, and Krauss and Gillian Welch's version of "I'll Fly Away" won Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year at the IBMA Awards.
Today, O Brother, Where Art Thou? is remembered not just for its stellar songs, but for introducing a new generation of fans to the genre. Read on to learn more about the smash hit soundtrack:
