'What Can I Say?' by Drop Party | New EP
Uncategorized March 4, 2022
Klemen Breznikar
Exclusive video premiere of 'What Can I Say?' by Stratford Connecticut's eclectic septet Drop Party, taken from the upcoming four-track EP, out later this year.
This funky track is a showcase of the band's chops. They've got wah scratching, bass-slapping, double the percussion, and triple the horns. With jazz-inspired chord progressions and lovesick lyrics, 'What Can I Say' packs an upbeat punch that brings to mind contemporary jazz-funk engineers Vulfpeck and Snarky Puppy.
Drop Party is more than just a name. This seven-piece lineup is a party with Anthony Chabla on percussion, Ryan Furbush on alto sax, Jake Krasniewicz on bass and vocals, Dan Raccuia on trumpet, Jacob Raccuia on tenor sax, Zach Rader on drums, and Jeff Wickun on guitar and vocals. Together they really fill a stage–or Carriage House Studios where they filmed the video for 'What Can I Say?'.
Wickun's voice is a surprisingly bright tenor that cuts through the mix taking things from a straight-up groove to something a little more laid back and jazzy. The verse is reminiscent of early Steely Dan or even jazzier Little Feat tracks. He sings; "I'm not ashamed for throwing all my loving at you", which at first listen may sound like a typical love song but the band questions "Are they really in love, or is it just the idealization of something so powerful that you write an entire song about it?". Perhaps it's an infatuation song after all.
'What Can I Say' happens to be one of the few Drop Party songs that include vocals. Most of the tracks rely on Furbush and the Raccuia's horn section filling out the melodies while the rhythm section holds it down. The dual percussionists have a strong tradition in the funk, jazz, and Latin music scenes. Chabla and Rader meld together seamlessly to create and fill out that driving groove. Krasniewicz is obviously a very capable bassist, keeping busy up and down the fretboard without forgetting to lock in with the drummers. He also offers some back and forth vocals during the "Don't let it get to your head" section. Wickun channels Shaft with his funky wah stylings and plucks some fun riffs between verses.
'What Can I Say?' is the first single off Drop Party's new four-track EP recorded at Carriage House Studios. If you're trying to get out and dance, catch Drop Party playing live as they plan on announcing summer shows soon.
What were some of your direct influences (musical or otherwise) when writing 'What Can I Say?'?
The vocal melody originated as a bass line that turned into a horn line and before we knew it, there were lyrics. The melody wouldn't leave our heads and it gave us Lake Street Dive vibes that we tried to channel into our own sound. The horn arrangement behind the choruses is inspired by SNL and the power of runs and stabs that leave you feeling some type of way. Our writing process involves a lot of jamming; ideas are driven by our sound and the written parts are constantly changing and developing into something new.
How did Drop Party form?
Most of us played together in a ska band when we were in high school, and after college, Jacob and Jake collaborated and sketched out ideas for Drop Party's first album with a different focus than in the past. Instead of relying on the lyrics and vocal melodies to draw in the crowd, they shifted the focus to catchy horn licks and rhythmic grooves that make you want to dance. And of course, they knew the best musicians to ask to join.
How did the pandemic affect the band?
With gigging out of the question, we took the time instead to focus on improving our gear and getting more hands on with video and audio production. We invested in better gear (finally upgraded to a digital mixer) and recorded a lot of fun content at our practice space.
What was the recording process like for this new EP?
Mikhail Pivovarov was our wonderful engineer at Carriage House Studio and he guided us through the process. We recorded the EP live for two reasons – one was to capture our energy as we feed off of each other when we're playing together. The other was so we could film the entire thing and release videos for each song. Although live tracking can be daunting since no one wants to be the one to make a mistake and have to start over, that never ends up being a problem. We were prepared and we nailed it.
It's gear talk time. What's your favorite musical toy at the moment?
Jeff Wickun here. I recently upgraded to a PRS and she is something special. It plays like nothing I've ever played before and it makes everything just feel.. easier. Which of course makes playing that much more enjoyable!
You've mentioned that you're planning some more shows this summer. Where are some cities and venues you'd love to play?
As we play mostly around Connecticut, we really look forward to our out of state shows. Boston has been good to us, but getting into NYC would be great and The Met in Rhode Island is on our list.

SLAC X-Ray Beam Helps Uncover Blueprint for Lassa Virus Vaccine
A decade-long search ends at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource, where researchers from The Scripps Research Institute emerge with a clear picture of how the deadly Lassa virus enters human cells.
Before Ebola virus ever struck West Africa, locals were continually on the lookout for another deadly pathogen: Lassa virus. With thousands dying from Lassa every year – and the potential for the virus to cause even larger outbreaks – researchers are committed to designing a vaccine to stop it.
Now a team of scientists from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) has solved the structure of the viral machinery that Lassa virus uses to enter human cells. X-ray beams from the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory gave the team the final piece in a puzzle they sought to solve for over 10 years.
Their study, published today in Science, is the first to show a key piece of the viral structure, called the surface glycoprotein, for any member of the deadly arenavirus family, and the new structure provides a blueprint to design a Lassa virus vaccine.
"This was a tenacious effort – over a decade – to conquer a global threat," said Erica Ollmann Saphire, a professor of Immunology and Microbial Science from TSRI and senior author of the new study.
X-ray data for this study was collected at SLAC and the DOE's Argonne National Laboratory. For the SLAC experiments, the researchers used a station at SSRL, a DOE Office of Science User Facility that has a strong program in biological X-ray crystallography. In this method, scientists prompt biological molecules to align and form a crystal, which they then study with powerful X-rays. The way the X-rays scatter off the crystal reveals the structure of the molecules inside – in 3-D and with atomic detail.
"I am proud of SSRL's strong partnership with TSRI and our involvement in this project that utilized the bright X-ray microbeams and high level of automation at Beam Line 12-2 to obtain the necessary data," said SSRL senior staff scientist Aina Cohen. "This structure provides key information towards engineering an effective vaccine against Lassa, enabling the infected to combat the immunosuppressive traits of this virus, which is estimated to kill tens of thousands of people each year."
It Started with a Thesis
The effort began with TSRI staff scientist Kathryn Hastie, the lead author of the study. In 2007, then a grad student in Ollmann Saphire's lab, she told her thesis committee she wanted to solve the structure of the assembled arenavirus glycoprotein, something never done before. She hoped to create a map of the target on the virus where antibodies need to attack – a key step in developing a vaccine.
Such maps can be obtained with X-ray crystallography, but the method depends on having a stable protein. Yet, all the Lassa virus glycoprotein wanted to do was fall apart.
The problem was that glycoproteins are made up of smaller subunits. Other viruses have bonds that hold the subunits together, "like a staple," Hastie said. Arenaviruses don't have that staple; instead, the subunits just floated away from each other whenever Hastie tried to work with them.
Another challenge was to recreate part of the viral lifecycle in the lab – a stage when Lassa's glycoprotein gets clipped into two subunits. "We had to figure out how to get the subunits to be sufficiently clipped, which is necessary to make the biologically functional assembly, and also where to put an engineered staple to make sure they stayed together," Hastie said.
Partnering with West Africa
As Hastie tackled those challenges from her lab bench in San Diego, staff at the Kenema Government Hospital in Sierra Leone labored on the front lines of the ongoing fight against Lassa.
Until the 2014–15 Ebola virus outbreak, Kenema was the only hospital in the world to have a special ward dedicated to treating hemorrhagic fever viruses. Staff at the clinic – from the nurses to the ambulance drivers – are all Lassa survivors, which gives them immunity to the disease. The TSRI scientists have a long-term collaboration with Kenema as part of a research program run by Tulane University that provided them with antibodies from survivors of Lassa fever. These antibodies could inactivate the virus, and they provided lifesaving protection to animal models. These were the kinds of antibodies researchers are hoping to elicit with a future Lassa virus vaccine.
In 2009, Hastie got to visit Kenema on a trip with Ollmann Saphire.
"I had been working on the project for two years with very little success at that point," Hastie said. "Going to West Africa showed me how important it was to keep going."
Like Ebola virus, Lassa fever starts with flu-like symptoms and can lead to debilitating vomiting, neurological problems and even hemorrhaging from the eyes, gums and nose. The disease is 50 to 70 percent fatal—and up to 90 percent fatal in pregnant women.
"Studying Lassa is critically important. Hundreds of thousands of people are infected with the virus every year, and it is the viral hemorrhagic fever that most frequently comes to the United States and Europe," said Ollmann Saphire. "Kate's study needed to be done."
Tripod Shape Key to Future Vaccine Design
By creating mutant versions of important parts of the molecule, Hastie engineered a version of the Lassa virus surface glycoprotein that didn't fall apart. She then used this model glycoprotein as a sort of magnet to find antibodies in patient samples that could bind with the glycoprotein to neutralize the virus.
With this latest study she solved the structure of the Lassa virus glycoprotein, bound to a neutralizing antibody from a human survivor.
Her structure showed that the glycoprotein has two parts. She compared the shape to an ice cream cone and a scoop of ice cream. A subunit called GP2 forms the cone, and the GP1 subunit sits on top. They work together when they encounter a host cell. GP1 binds to a host cell receptor, and GP2 starts the fusion process to enter that cell.
The new structure also showed a long structure hanging off the side of GP1—like a drip of melting ice cream running down the cone. This "drip" holds the two subunits together in their pre-fusion state.
Zooming in even closer, Hastie discovered that three of the GP1-GP2 pairs come together like a tripod. This arrangement appears to be unique to Lassa virus. Other viruses, such as influenza and HIV, also have three-part proteins (called trimers) at this site, but their subunits come together to form a pole, not a tripod. The structure is also important because it can be used as a model to conquer related viruses throughout the Americas, Europe and Africa for which no equivalent structure yet exists.
"It was great to see exactly how Lassa was different from other viruses," said Hastie. "It was a tremendous relief to finally have the structure."
This tripod arrangement offers a path for vaccine design. The scientists found that 90 percent of the effective antibodies in Lassa patients targeted the spot where the three GP subunits came together. These antibodies locked the subunits together, preventing the virus from gearing up to enter a host cell.
A future vaccine would likely have the greatest chance of success if it could trigger the body to produce antibodies to target the same site.
Ollmann Saphire explained that Hastie accomplished something unique in structural biology. "The research started from scratch with the native, wild-type viruses in patients in a remote clinic—and went all the way to developing a basis for vaccine design. And the work was done almost entirely by one woman."
Moving Forward with a Lassa Vaccine
The next step is to test a vaccine that will prompt the immune system to target Lassa's glycoprotein.
As director of the Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Immunotherapeutic Consortium, Ollmann Saphire is already coordinating with her partners at Tulane and Kenema to bring a vaccine to patients.
The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, an international collaboration that includes the Wellcome Trust and the World Health Organization as partners, has recently named a vaccine for Lassa virus as one of its three top priorities. "The community is keenly interested in making a Lassa vaccine, and we think we have the best template to do that," said Ollmann Saphire.
She added that with Hastie's techniques for solving arenavirus structures, researchers can now get a closer look at other hemorrhagic fever viruses, which cause death, neurological diseases and even birth defects around the world.
Ollmann Saphire added that beamlines such as 12-2 at SSRL, which provided the X-ray beam used to finally determine the Lassa virus glycoprotein structure, along with its recent detector upgrades, are essential for ongoing advances in structural biology.
"This research highlights the power of crystallographic techniques that rely on advanced synchrotron facilities to combat the most challenging biological problems. The support of the DOE's Office of Science Biological and Environmental Research, the National Institutes of Health and private institutions such as TSRI enables us to make these resources available to the wider biomedical community," Cohen said.
In addition to Ollmann Saphire and Hastie, the following authors contributed: Michelle A. Zandonatti of TSRI; James E. Robinson and Robert F. Garry of Tulane University; Lara M. Kleinfelter and Kartik Chandran of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine; and Megan L. Heinrich, Megan M. Rowland and Luis M. Branco of Zalgen Labs.
The study was supported by the National Institutes of Health and an Investigators in Pathogenesis of Infectious Diseases Award from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund. Research funding for the SSRL Structural Molecular Biology Program was provided by the DOE Office of Science and the National Institutes of Health, National Institute of General Medical Sciences.

Getting rid of Comey removes the guy who is running the Russia investigation. It removes the guy who can look Congress in the eye and say credibly that the FBI is investigating whether anyone in the Trump orbit was actively working with the Russians. It removes the guy who, in February, reportedly refused the White House's request to publicly knock down stories about Trump and Russia while congressmen in key positions of investigatory responsibility allegedly complied. It removes the one person of stature (figurative as well as literal) in the government whom everyone knows will–even when he's wrong–do what he thinks is the right thing and damn the torpedos. It removes, in other words, the essential person for a credible investigation.

Today I would like to take you through a convenient Chakra Balancing Technique that I learned at the School of Intuition and Healing, where I qualified as a Healer. Balancing and clearing the seven main Chakras takes time, try this when you're pressed for time but still need to cover all of the bases. I use it often on myself, as well as with clients. You'll need to practice hands on healing first, whether it's reiki or another modality. Check out the School of Intuition & Healing for classes in London or Capetown!
The idea is to balance two Chakras at a time, leveraging the natural energy pairings between the Chakras. Our personal energy should flow freely along the central column reaching the seven main Chakras: Base, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Brow and Crown. Certain Chakras mirror each other, creating a stronger energy relationship between the two. So for example, the Brow Chakra corresponds to our thoughts, critical thinking, and vision but also, our preoccupations and worries. It's mirror is the Solar Plexus, which holds our sense of self as well as our self-preservation instincts. Because of the energy bridge between them, the energy created by our thoughts feeds directly into the Solar Plexus. If those thoughts are peaceful, they reinforce a sense of wellbeing in the Solar Plexus. If they're fraught with worry, they add to the sense of stress or dread in the Solar Plexus.
To clear that from the body and from the energy field, we would balance, clear and heal both Chakras in tandem. You could start by placing one hand over the Solar Plexus, and another over the Brow Chakra. Feel the energy under the palms of your hand. Which is stronger? Let the energy push your hands out as far as they need to go, this will help quantify any imbalances. Send healing to both, and keep your hands there until they even out. You can also send healing to one chakra through the other. For example, the Brow tends to be very sensitive, and I often start by sending healing to the Solar Plexus, and taking advantage of that energy bridge to clear the Brow too. This bridge technique can also help with the other Chakra pairings. Each of the Chakras has a buddy.
One of my classmates at the School of Intuition and Healing referred to this technique as The Ham & Cheese Sandwich to help us keep them straight. The Base Chakra, at the bottom of the spine, is paired with the Heart and Crown Chakras; these three are the bread in the sandwich. You would start by balancing the Base Chakra and the Heart, strengthening our connection to the earth and to our physical body. This grounds and protects us in LOVE and gives us earth energy for strength and stamina. Again, sense the flow of energy from each Chakra and balance them until they are equal. Then move each of your hands up one notch, to the Sacral Chakra and Throat Chakra. These are the Ham Slices in the sandwich. The Sacral Chakra is the source of our creativity, our passions and our appetites. The Throat is how we express it. You would feel the energy over each Chakra and balance them until they are equal.
Tidy Up: Finish by grounding the legs.
This Chakra Balancing Technique is taught at the School of Intuition and Healing in London. I was really lucky to be one of their first students back in 2010. Their healing course lasts two years and the next intake starts soon! Have a look! It has franchises in London and Capetown. This is just one of many lessons.
Very Useful.Thank you very much.

RBC Daily: iPhone 5 set for launch in Russia in November
by Matt Brian — in Apple
Russian newspaper RBC Daily has revealed that Apple's iPhone 5 could launch in Russia in November, going on sale "almost immediately" after the smartphone goes on sale in the U.S.
The news outlet cited sources close to handset retailers, noting that Russian mobile operators were actively working with Apple to speed up deliveries of Apple smartphone devices, to reduce the number of authorised handset sales caused by longer release cycles.
Apple's products have typically between three and six months to come to Russia after the original release in U.S and Europe, meaning that carriers are unable to offer their own deals on handsets and simply provide service to consumers that have acquired an iPhone via an unauthorised source.
Apple has reportedly ordered 10 million iPhone 5 units from Taiwan-based manufacturer Pegatron. The Cupertino-based company could be positioning itself to deliver stock to an increased number of partners across the U.S and Europe to reduce high-priced third-party resales.

The high cost of a place to live is one of the greatest financial burdens faced by today's American families. 11 million Americans are spending more than half their income on their home, another 21.3 million are spending more than the recommended 30%, and with rent and mortgage costs consistently rising faster than wages, these figures look set to increase.
For many of these families, a little help at the right time can mean the difference between keeping a home and losing it or can allow a family to spare money for other vital expenses. Government and private grant programs to help families burdened by housing costs are available, and if you are among those struggling to pay rent or a mortgage, you should be looking into possibilities for help.
Before we go into the available grants and assistance programs, let's look at what a grant is.
A grant provides direct financial assistance to a qualified person, usually someone facing immediate financial need. Most government housing grant programs in the United States are funded by the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), though they are often administered by local authorities. Some private organizations also offer assistance to those in need. I every case there will be an application process that determines whether you are qualified to receive assistance. This process will require you to provide information on your income, assets, family members, citizenship status, and often more. Applications may seem daunting at first, but they are manageable, and in many cases, the granting agencies provide assistance in completing them. If the program provides you with the help you need, it's well worth the effort it takes.
Let's look at some grant options.
Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers are the primary housing assistance program of the US Government. The program provides direct financial support to help elderly, low income, and disabled families move into better homes than they could otherwise afford. Housing options include privately owned single-family homes, townhouses, and apartments: vouchers are not for use in government housing projects. The local Public Housing Agency (PHA) determines eligibility for vouchers, and criteria do vary in different areas. The family's income must not exceed 50% of the median income for their county of residence. Once a PHA approves a family for the voucher program, the family must find a rental unit that meets program requirements with a property owner that is willing to accept the vouchers. The government then pays the property owner directly, with recipients expected to pay no more than 30% of their income as their contribution.
FDIC Loan Products or lending programs.
Realtors who are trained and committed to assisting low-income homebuyers.
First time home buying programs designed for individuals with low or moderate income.
Operation HOPE's Home Buyer's Program also hosts workshops that help individuals gain a better understanding of the home buying process, which can be a major asset for first time homebuyers and others with limited experience. To find out more about the Home Buyer's Program as well as other programs, visit Operation HOPE's website.
Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Loans offer mortgage insurance, which protects the lender from any losses if the borrower fails to make payments on their loan. That insurance means lenders can offer loans at lower interest rates and with flexible qualification requirements, which makes the loans cheaper and easier to get.
The FHA does not lend money. It works with approved lenders to insure loans. Individuals who want to apply for an FHA loan must first complete an application with an approved FHA lender. The borrower must be able to pay a down payment, make mortgage payments, and meet all eligibility and credit requirements. An FHA loan is one of the easiest loans to obtain due to its low credit score requirements and low down payments.
Rural Housing Loans offer individuals living in rural areas a chance to build, buy, or improve a residence. In some cases, these loans can be used to refinance homes. To qualify, you must live in a rural area, have a very low to moderate income, be without adequate housing but able to make payments, be a U.S. citizen and have a decent credit history.
The program offers two options, direct and guaranteed loans. Direct Rural Housing Loans are repaid over a period of 33 to 38 years and are available to applicants with annual incomes below 60 percent of the median income of their area. Direct loans offer payment assistance by reducing loan interest rates to as low as 1%, depending on the family's income. Guaranteed Rural Housing Loans are paid over a period of 30 years with a fixed interest rate. There is no required down payment, and lenders determine the ability to repay, based on the family's income.
Purchase or build a home.
Retain or keep a home.
Renovate, repair, or improve a residence.
Install solar heating, cooling, or energy efficient systems.
There are service requirements and specific periods of eligibility. Applicants must also have a good credit rating, sufficient income, a valid Certificate of Eligibility (COE), and must agree to live in the property. You can visit the VA home loan website to see if you qualify.
Habitat for Humanity is a private organization that helps low-income families find affordable homes. Volunteers build houses in communities where is difficult for low-income families to find appropriate homes, and Habitat for Humanity provides mortgages to low-income families that are calculated to allow the family to buy a safe, decent home for 30% of their income.
There are many more programs available to families in need. Your local Public Housing Authority will have details on programs in your area and is an excellent starting point. Many private organizations operate only in specific regions, so it's always worth running internet searches to find programs specific to your town, city, county, or state. It's not always easy to find help, as the programs are limited and there are many people in need, but it's always worth trying, especially if your need is severe or if your household includes children, elderly members, or disabled members, who often receive priority access to assistance programs. Good luck in your search!


An Alexandre Pontaise's lesson on how to create a successful game.
Well… it's a game which the sole purpose is to promote the release of another game, released the same day. I know it's cheap, I'm so sorry!
Actually I talk a bit about my own feelings about releasing a game I've been working for quite a time now. Because it's a pure coincidence I've finished this game just at the start of the Meta Game Jam, I took that as a starting point: a game about releasing a game. With assets taken from various older projects. As if to look at what I've accomplished?
It's still shameful, yeah. Sorry again! At least I made this junk short.
Every assets are from my previous games.
That's the first time I'm seeing a live reaction to this game! :D Thanks a lot for your videos.
This was so META. I loved it. I don't know it can be improved at all... Maybe add some blood !
I thoroughly enjoyed this complete waste of time. And it was completely meta and I think exactly the theme and spirit of the compo, for what that is worth.
I also appreciated the irony of you complaining about linear levels that you can't lose designed to stroke player's ego while I advanced through linear levels that I couldn't lose.

Downtown Cleveland Heinen's opening in early 2015, not this fall after all
Updated: Jan. 12, 2019, 3:51 a.m. | Published: Apr. 28, 2014, 6:00 p.m.
By Janet H. Cho, The Plain Dealer
HEINENS_L19_HEINEN_S_MAIN_16018037.JPG
Downtown shoppers will have to wait until early 2015 to look up at the striking rotunda of Heinen's Downtown Cleveland in The 9, at the corner of East 9th Street and Euclid Ave. Jeff Heinen said the opening date has been postponed because of how complicated it has been to redesign the former Ameritrust bank building into a supermarket.
(Joshua Gunter, The Plain Dealer)
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The much-anticipated opening of Heinen's Fine Foods' first downtown Cleveland store in The 9 building, originally slated for this October, has been postponed until early 2015.
"We just found that there was more to do than we anticipated to convert that space into a supermarket," said Jeff Heinen, co-president and third-generation owner. "The fall was always very optimistic, and the complexities of trying to design a new store in that space," the former Ameritrust bank building at the corner of East 9th Street and Euclid Avenue, were greater than expected.
He acknowledged the delay is likely to disappoint some people, but said that rather than trying to open at the very end of the year during what is often the busiest food shopping season, he and his brother, Tom, had decided to wait until the first quarter of 2015.
Even without the Downtown Cleveland store, the
85-year-old Heinen's Fine Foods
is already opening more stores this year than ever before, including a
19th store in the Village of Glenview, Ill., on May 7;
its 20th store in Bannockburn, Ill., in late July; and its 21st store in Lake Bluff, Ill., soon after that.
Although the Heinens had originally planned to open only two stores in 2014, they learned in February that they had won bids to take over two more stores. Both are former Dominick's Finer Foods stores that became available after their parent company, Safeway Inc., announced its was leaving Chicago to focus on more profitable markets elsewhere.
"We got to four stores faster than we anticipated, but the Dominick's closings provided an opportunity that we couldn't afford not to take advantage of," Jeff Heinen said at the time.
Dominick's, with 72 stores, was the second-largest grocer in Greater Chicago after Jewel-Osco in terms of store count. Rivals including Mariano's Fresh Market and Whole Foods Market both expanded their reach by buying up its empty stores.

If it's important to you having your day documented from the time when you are both getting ready then here are some things to consider.
Are you getting ready in separate locations to each other where there is some distance involved, and therefore some time spent travelling to get from one place to another?
Do you want your photographer to capture both of you getting ready in real time, and capture all the fun photos that go with it?
If the answer to both of these questions is yes then a second photographer is probably a worthy choice. If you are both getting ready at the same location then one photographer would definitely get the job done. However, how do you choose who your photographer is to capture? Is it the bride, as 'she's more important'? In the situation where there are two brides, or two grooms, who takes precedence then? And why should a groom just be left as second billing? It's as much about him as it is about the bride! Or can you fit your photographer into your timeline to capture the both of you?
Choosing one photographer to achieve this is definitely doable, but having two means they'll be able to coordinate between themselves where and when they need to be so the both of you will receive many more shots taken at a much more relaxed pace!
Throughout your ceremony there are so many different things happening at once that's it's impossible for just one photographer to capture it all. Like the old adage states; you can't be in two places at once! Take for instance when the bride is walking down the aisle. One photographer can shoot over their shoulder and capture the grooms reaction but who's up front capturing the brides expression? Solution, a second photographer and a second vantage point!
And you'd expect your photographer to capture your first kiss right? It's a special moment and one that's over in a flash. But all it takes is the celebrant or priest to take a step in the wrong direction and their view is completely obscured. No problem, two photographers means two angles… and that photo is in the bag!
When using only one photographer there will be some compromises you will both have to make in terms of what angles you'd like captured during the ceremony, and this is something any professional photographer should be asking you from the start.
you're guaranteed many more moments will be captured than only one set of eyes could ever achieve, plus you'll receive twice as many shots!
by choosing 2 photographers you are literally insuring those once-off moments are captured. Any professional photographer should pride themselves on doing their due diligence, but even with a detailed schedule to go by, things don't always go according to plan. For example, it doesn't matter if you're an amateur or professional, equipment failure doesn't discriminate. Though this is something that hasn't happened to us (thank God!) it's definitely something we have to prepare for. Having the second photographer allows the show to go on.
when we work together, depending on the venue, one of us will shoot long behind your guests, while the other close and wide, allowing us to be less distracting and less conspicuous.
The ceremony is over, you are now husband and wife, everyone has come up to you to congratulate you and now it's time to capture those obligatory family photos.
One photographer will find their mark and remain here taking the family photos while the other will help to arrange them in a way that looks balanced and pleasing to the eye. This helps to speed up the entire process so that we can get your family and friends off to feast on canapés and you off to your portraiture shoot much sooner. This exercise especially works well if you have a big family and a long list of arrangements. We generally ask our couples to nominate someone (usually the MC) who is familiar with the families to do the running around to find Uncle Bill and your cousin Jess so we can quickly get through your list. But if you haven't nominated anyone to do this then the second photographer will take on these duties while the other stays on their mark taking the photos.
If there's not a big family list to get through, then one photographer can head to your reception venue before the masses do to capture all those little details and table arrangements you worked so hard to put together, while the other photographer remains to capture those treasured family photos. This exercise works particularly well if you are celebrating your day in the one location.
Your portraits is where a photographer gets to be less "documenty" and more creative. But do you want two photographers pointing cameras at you? Would that make you feel uncomfortable? If the answer to this is yes then we totally understand. And a single professional photographer is certainly capable of getting the job done. But how could a second photographer be advantageous in this scenario? Well we're glad you asked!
If you're comfortable having 2 photographers, they would generally shoot using two different lenses (one wide, one zoom) at two different vantage points. While one would guide you where to stand/sit/lie, the other would capture a more candid feel. And you get twice as many shots!
Two photographers could split up the bridal party so one does the "guys" while the other does the "gals", before they get down to concentrating on the newly married couple.
Maybe you employed your photographers to utilise a drone (such as ours who we affectionately named DJ!). While one photographer would pilot the drone above you and happily snap away, the other would continue the portrait session on the ground.
Or maybe you utilised both for your family photos. One could continue with your portrait shoot while the other heads to reception to capture those details and candid pics of your guests mingling.
During the speeches there are so many photo opportunities to capture. All the emotion and tears from heartfelt words of fatherly advice to the laughs and cringing that your best man has up his sleeve lend themselves to really great moments. Rather than having just one photographer wandering around in the middle of the room distracting your guests and blocking their views, two photographers can divide the room up and be much more discrete enabling them to capture more of the real emotion.
As photographers, we're always looking for opportunities where you are interacting with your guests, and the like with family and friends. You might be chatting with your mum and your grandmother which makes for some gorgeous photos across the generations which you'll treasure forever. But what you might also like captured is your dad and your uncle getting their giant Jenga on out the back! The thing is, you'd never know that happened until you get your photos back, and that's where the value of that second photographer comes in to play.
In the last 5 years we have captured a lot of weddings both as a solo or duo outfit. And each time we get the job done. For us, capturing a wedding as a duo is undoubtedly a lot more fun for the both of us as we can bounce ideas off each other, and that vibe then feeds down into our photography. Mind you we think we're pretty good at doing this when flying solo too!
We're a husband and wife photography duo, and each a 'main photographer'. Neither of us takes a backseat, each of us can take the lead of capturing your wedding and each of us brings our own wealth of experience with us.
Yes it will be more expensive to have the both of us, and like they say, "you get what you pay for". However our packages are structured in a way that it is actually better value for you to have the both of us rather than just one for the equivalent hours or package!
We also come with an added reassurance that we'll shoot in the same style as each other (as opposed to a second 'hired gun'). We consider this an added bonus to you when considering what would happen if (God forbid!) one of us became ill and couldn't make it to your wedding; with us there's always one of us who will produce the same style of photos you originally fell in love with when you booked us no matter what happens!
Hopefully now you're realising how having two photographers provides you with so many more options, but we also offer you the extra flexibility to chop and change our packages to suit your vision and/or budget. For example, use both of us for a full 8 hrs or only use the second photographer for 4 hrs while the other stays on. Your choice.
So, are two photographers better than one? We think the jury's out on that one! Making that choice will have a lot to do with your vision, your budget and ultimately your expectations, but at the end of the day we want you to look back on your photographs with no regrets, with the knowledge that your most precious memories and your expectations was met by your final decision, whether it was to have one photographer or two.

Possibility of property tax payment delays a government concern
Tim Tedeschi
(Marion) Chronicle-Tribune
Potentially delayed property tax payments due to COVID-19 could leave local municipalities with financial uncertainty in the short term.
While the spring deadline for Indiana property taxes is still May 11, Gov. Eric Holcomb in an executive order instructed counties to waive any fees or penalties typically assessed on late payments for an additional 60 days, through July 10. As of now, the fall deadline is still Nov. 10 with no extension of waived penalties.
Grant County Treasurer Tiffany Griffith said her office is complying with the order and is working through how settlements and other processes will work. She said she is wondering how spring collections will be impacted and still encouraged taxpayers to pay before the deadline if they're able to help the community during this time of crisis.
"Without the tax payments, schools, fire departments, police departments, township trustees, public libraries, etc. may not get the funds they need to operate," she said. "This also means the health departments may be short on funds to distribute vaccinations for COVID-19 when one becomes available."
At a school board meeting last week, Mississinewa Superintendent Tab McKenzie said the corporation was considering putting some of the more extensive summer projects, like a $200,000 HVAC project at Northview Elementary School, on hold due to the uncertainty of when tax receipts would come in.
"We're a little bit concerned with spending money that we haven't received yet," McKenzie said.
Griffith said at this point there is no way to tell how the county might be affected by delayed property tax payments, but she is taking a proactive approach in the meantime.
"I am working with the Association of Indiana Counties to compile financial information to send in order to help them assess what we may face during this current spring collection cycle," she said.
The Grant County Treasurer's Office was already receiving calls and messages on social media about any available help for late tax payments before the governor's order, Griffith said. Though the change may delay funds being available for local governments, Griffith said she is glad the waiving of penalties can bring some relief to individuals and small businesses.
"We understand that citizens face hardships every day that we may not be aware of," Griffith said. "This waiving of penalties can help bring a sigh of relief for individuals who have lost their jobs or had to close their businesses and therefore simply cannot meet the May 11 deadline."
Since the county building is closed to the public, Griffith said her office's operations have transitioned to more phone calls and emails as face to face interactions have stopped. She said tax statements will be going out by April 15, and the office is in communication with state and local officials to stay current with the latest updates on procedures and policies.


Norbert Leopold was the fourth son of František Karel I., Count Liebsteinský of Kolowrat (1620 – 1700) who was a knight of the Order of Golden Fleece, the Provincial and Regional Hetman, President of the Appellate Council, an eminent politician and diplomat, and of his first wife Magdalena Ludmilla of Oppersdorf (1625 – 1672). He had ten siblings out of whom he had the most successful career. He undertook a grand tour completed by a year-long stay in Italy in 1674. He became an Imperial Councillor and Chamberlain and an Envoy Extraordinary in Madrid in 1688 – 1690. He went on to become an elector in Cologne in 1690 and he completed his career in diplomacy as a Regular Envoy in the office of the Elector in Brandenburg from 1693 to 1694 in Berlin. He was awarded the Order of the Golden Fleece for his merits by the Emperor Charles VI. on 9th January 1712.
The count was the owner of the fideicommissum of Rychnov nad Kněžnou, Vamberk, Černíkovice and other estates. He expanded the Rychnov manor in 1704 by acquiring a large wooded area in the Orlické Mountains which had previously been owned by the Royal chamber. In 1703 – 1705, he was the encumbrancer of the castle and manor of Karlštejn. In 1707, he acquired the manor of Chlumec by Ústí nad Labem from the house of Krakowský of Kolowrat and he also acquired Zlonice in Northern Bohemia in the same year. He also made a conscious effort to keep expanding his East-bohemian estates by further purchases, such as the purchase of Přestavlky estate to expand his Chroustovice estate, and the purchase of Vamberk estate to expand his Letohrad estate.
Just like his father, Norbert Leopold was a sponsor of the catholic church. At the turn of the 17th and 18th century, he funded the refurbishment of churches in Letohrad and Chroustovice and had the churches in Těchonín, Uhersko and Kunčice built or renovated. It was thanks to his invitation, that Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel, the renowned baroque architect, came to Rychnov and designed the monumental front of the Holy Trinity church located above the new castle. Based on the architect´s designs, the count commenced the construction of the Piarist college in immediate proximity of the church in 1714. Unfortunately, only one of the wings of the three-winged building symbolising the Holy Trinity has been preserved to this day. The count also commissioned this architect to rebuild the monastic church in Dolní Ročov.
During his diplomatic mission in Berlin, Norbert Leopold extended his collection of fine art. In 1694, he had his portrait painted here by Jan Fr. Doun. This painting has been in the Kolowrat collection to this day. Upon Count Norbert Leopold´s death, his collection of paintings listed 134 exhibits, 44 of which were family portraits, and 11 portrayed the Habsburg royal family. These became the core of the later Kolowrat picture gallery which was relocated to the Rychnov nad Kněžnou chateau in 1745.
In 1682, got Norbert Leopold married for the first time to Johanka Magdalena, born Countess Hrzánová of Harasov, the widowed Countess Vítanovská of Vlčkovice (1649 – 1685), with whom he had a son František Karel II. (1684 – 1753) who was an excellent politician. Thanks to this marriage, Norbert Leopold became the owner of Letohrad. In 1691, he married his second wife Marie Magdalena Slavatová of Chlum and Košumberk (1673 – 1691), with whom he had a son Norbert Vincenc (1696 – 1727) and a daughter Marie Markéta (1693 – 1707). His wife Marie Magdaléna inherited a part of the property of the house of Slavata who had died out.


It's classic, it's charming, it's genuine, it's fun. It's downtown Wisconsin Dells - that stretch of Broadway chock full of attractions, restaurants and shops.
Downtown Dells shines brightest when dusk drapes the cityscape. Café lights, neon lights and stage lights complimented by the moon and the stars. This is when music fills the air and al fresco dining spots fill up fast. When shops stay open late and visitors linger late into the night to savor every last minute of that perfect evening.


It's been a while since the last meeting so there should be lots to talk about next Monday.
E-mail campaign@richmondlcc.co.uk with your thoughts about these and issues to raise at the meeting. Remember TfL will not be attending as it's outside office hours.

Part one of this two-part post provided a summary of today's EMC (@EMCflash) announcement around XtremIO and renaming VFCache to XtremSF and associated software as XtremSW.
Now lets take a closer look at what was announced along with what it means in terms of Industry Trends and Perspectives.
XtremIO has been in customer beta for some time and now those along with some other early customers are able to acquire the product. In addition, EMC is opening up XtremIO to more prospective customers (Directed Availability) who have requirements or needs that line up with the products target market capabilities.
What this means is that XtremIO is not being simply put out into the general product population for broad distribution. Instead, it is being put into a controlled release (Directed Availability) to help customers, partners and EMC sales decide where best to use it and thus risk revenue prevention in other areas. The criteria or target opportunity (at least initially) are little-data applications including OLTP, server virtualization (where aggregation can cause aggravation) along with virtual desktop or VDI. In other words, many of the traditional or legacy IOP focused SSD opportunities.
In addition to XtremIO EMC has renamed their VFCache PCIe flash SSD cards (Launched February 2012) to XtremSF along with new models with both SLC and MLC nand flash. Also as part of today's announcement EMC is renaming the cache software for XtremSF (e.g. VFCache) to be known as XtremSW. Now if that did not prompt the question of if you can now buy XtremSF as a target mode only card without the cache software the answer is yes.
It is a new all flash SSD storage array. XtremIO is a Cluster, grid or collection of nodes called bricks with linear performance scaling providing block based all flash SSD storage. Data services consists of data footprint reduction (DFR) including inline global (across all nodes or bricks) dedupe on 4Kbyte chunks along with thin provisioning. Global dedupe is done on ingest using a combination of flash buffered meta-data (tables, index or dictionary) of what has been seen before along with multi-threaded software to leverage multi-core processors. Using the global dedupe at ingest; only new unique data is saved based on 4 Kbyte chunks.
Performance per EMC scales from one single node to more second node or a fourth node. Note: architecturally more nodes can be added with EMC indicating added models will be available in the future.
In addition to DFR, other data services including writable snapshots, and auto-load balancing when new bricks are added. Note that in a normal running XtremIO, data is automatically spread across the nodes for both performance and resiliency. Data only needs to be moved or load-balanced in the background when new bricks are added. Instant copy snapshots are supported along with writable snapshots. Currently replication is done via external EMC products such as VPLEX or RecoverPoint with statement of directions (SOD) for future enhancements.
In addition to 4K being a commonly used or referred to IO size, it is also the same size as the new industry standard Advanced Format (AF). Today the standard storage block, page or sector size is 512 bytes however AF moves that to a larger 4,096 bytes (e.g. 4KB) to closer align with larger IO sizes. Note that many HDD's and some SSD's today support AF and provide 512 byte emulation modes for compatibility.
VFCache is renamed XtremSF with new models using eMLC as companion to existing SLC PCIe cards and blade server mezzanine cards. EMC is emphasizing performance metrics that matter including IOPs that are relative to customer workloads such as 4K, 8K or larger with mix of reads and writes with low latency. In addition to IOPs with latency, size along with reads or writes for little data, EMC is also showing bandwidth or throughput numbers for big-data and big-bandwidth.
Sampling of SLC and eMLC XtremSF PCIe SSD cards performance characteristics (via EMC) including latency measured in microseconds). Note performance differences due to some cards being based on SLC and others on eMLC.
Other storage, server and systems vendors including Cisco, Dell, HP, IBM, NetApp and Oracle offer various PCIe nand flash SSD cards either as target, cache or mixed modes. Manufactures or suppliers of PCIe nand flash SSD cache and target cards include among others FusionIO, Intel, LSI, Micron , OCZ and Virident (who is partnered with Seagate).
Server side flash software (not to be confused with FAST) for using XtremSF as a tier 0 (server-side) ssd cache or target. In target mode the XtremSF functions as a high performance persistent local dedicated direct attached storage (DAS) device. Cache mode enables frequently accessed data to be kept close to the applications off-loading underlying storage systems to be more effectively used. The XtremSW complements back-end storage systems for data protection and persistence along with investment protection of those assets.
SSD is in your future, question is where, when and with what.
Why not just use SSD (DRAM and or nand flash) everywhere?
Keep in mind that in the data center (traditional, virtual or cloud) everything is not the same. Thus the simple answer is that there is not enough of it available at a low enough price point (think closer to Hard Disk Drives (HDD) costs) to fit into customers budget. Sure SSDs provide better performance and productivity benefits, however while there is no such thing as a data or information recession, there are budget constraints.
Another reason why SSD cant simply be used everywhere are physical (and logical) constraints such as amount of memory a server can directly access, or current DDR3 DIMMs (this could change with DDR4 according to Micron) can only address and work with DRAM, PCIe bus physical slot space, operating and hypervisor addressing limits among others.
If SSD (DRAM and or nand flash) were priced were priced low enough (e.g. much closer to HDDs) and available SSD including both DRAM and nand flash (SLC, MLC, eMLC, TLC, etc) along with emerging Phase Change Memory (PCM) are at the convergence of traditional memory and data storage. While some storage (or server) professionals may not agree, storage is an extension of memory and thus part of the traditional server and storage memory hierarchy shown below.
This brings up the locality of reference topic also shown in the following figure where the best IO is the one that does not have to be done. The second best is the one that can be done closest to application to a given level of service. Locality of reference which is important for servers and storage systems including caching refers to how close frequently accessed data is to where it is needed. For some applications this means as much DRAM main memory in a server as possible either clustered, with battery backup or other data persistency protection including onboard HDD or SSD (e.g. towards the top of the hierarchy).
There are other applications where localized SSD (DRAM or nand flash) are a benefit to compliment main memory or as a persistent cache and target such as PCIe cards or SAS and SATA drives. Further down the stack and for housing larger amounts of storage with performance (reads or writes, random or sequential) along with data services is where all SSD and hybrid (mix of SSD and HDD) fit. Even further down the stack and for a broader segment is where cloud storage services based on SSD such as those from Rackspace (Cloud Block Storage with SSD) and Amazon (provisioned IOPS for EBS) have a play. Lets not forget about SSD in laptop, tablets and workstations, for example I have a Samsung model 830 in my Lenvo X1.
Does this mean traditional storage arrays are now dead?
IMHO, no, there will be some cannibalization of existing storage systems by XtremIO within EMC customers or prospects if not managed, as well as via those from others. Keep in mind that recently EMC announced enhancements to their VMAX including entry-level options for service providers. Some new opportunities opened up will be where traditional all SSD (flash or dram) systems have historically had success.
Traditional SSD and new dedicated SSD systems include Texas Memory Systems (TMS) bought by IBM in 2012, and the recently announced NetApp EF540 (and future FlashRay) along with startups Solidfire, Violin, Whiptail among others. There will be environments where XtremIO may take care of all storage needs for a customer or specific application or piece of it. Then there will be other situations where XtremIO will go-exist with EMC or other vendor's storage solutions as part of a data infrastructure.
Who will EMC be competing against with XtremIO?
Certainly the startups or smaller players such as Violin, Whiptail, Purestorage, Solidfire along with IBM/TMS and NetApp EF540 (eventually FlashRay as well) among others.
There will also be some competition with other hybrid storage array vendors that have a mix of HDD and SSD. XtremIO will also compete in some situations on its own vs. other PCIe flash target and cache cards such as FusionIO, however for the most part those will up against XtremSF and XtremSW.
Why the slow or "Directed Availability" rollout?
Why not? By taking a controlled rollout selecting and qualifying customers for XtremIO, EMC gets to manage how the product goes out into production and control how it is used to increase chances of success. Unlike a startup that would be forced to try to put their new technology anywhere, EMC has the luxury of selecting where it goes, not to mention needing to avoid introducing a revenue prevention play for its other products.
Overall, I give an Atta boy and Atta girl to the EMC crew for a Product Defined Announcement (PDA) extending their flash portfolio to complement their different customers and prospects various environment needs. Now watch EMC, NetApp and others step up their flash dance moves to see who will out flash the others in the eXtreme flash games, not to mention emerging software defined marketing moves (SDMM) ;) .


Out of all the drinks, specialty coffee Abu Dhabi stands out for a number of reasons. Probably the most important reason why you should consume coffee is energy it provides. Coffee is made of coco beans that are rich in antioxidants and caffeine. Thought there are many misconceptions about caffeine, it is a fact that coffee doesn't contain these in big quantities. In fact, it has just enough to trigger the neurons in your body. As a result, you feel energetic and healthy. On the other hand, the antioxidants are known to improve the metabolic rate, and reduce harmful fat from the body. That's not all, the coffee is also rich in magnesium, potassium and vitamins, especially B2. That's what you get from every cup of coffee, hence the increased energy and efficiency.
It is true that consuming coffee regularly is something that will help your body in numerous ways. The taste of coffee is already great so you will not have to create excuses to drink it. Also, there are no proven side effects of consuming coffee. You can consume it to make you feel fresh and energetic and each cup of coffee will make you feel like that.
There are a number of misconceptions related to coffee, but the truth is that none of it has been proven. Coffee has several health benefits, most of which are clinically proven. You will have a hard time remaining attentive during working hours at the office without drinking coffee. On the other hand, consuming coffee will provide you all the benefits that you had been looking for. Look at this now to learn more about consuming coffee and why should you take it more often than not. Just make sure to consume coffee in enough quantity that you stay awake and attentive during work hours. It will also keep you healthy and energetic.

Serie A giants Lazio are reportedly set to hand Juventus and Chelsea target Sergey Milinkovic-Savic a new contract this summer.
The Serbian midfielder has missed the biancocelesi's medical session ahead of the start of the new Serie A season, but arrived a day late to undergo the tests. Links were made to Chelsea, but La Repubblica state that Lazio are set to hand the player a new contract.
The atmosphere around the future of Milinkovic-Savic is pretty relaxed as despite interest from Juventus, Real Madrid and Manchester United, no offers have arrived yet.
Lazio are set to hand the player a new deal this summer and he will be offered a wage of about 3 million euros plus bonuses a season, which will be equal to how much Ciro Immobile earns at the club.
His deal will be extended till the summer of 2023.

Easter, 1916
Easter, 1916 Quotes
A terrible beauty is born (15-16)
Yeats can acknowledge that there's a sort of "terrible beauty" in what the Irish fighters have done. He can also understand that after the Easter Uprising, nothing can be the same in Ireland. But at the same time, this doesn't amount to actual admiration. It creeps right up to the edge of admiration, then stops.
He might have won fame in the end,
So sensitive his nature seemed (28-29)
While writing about a poet and dramatist named Thomas MacDonagh, Yeats hints that maybe this dude could have been famous as a writer if he hadn't gone and thrown his life away in the Easter Uprising. But then again, Yeats also shows a tinge of admiration for the potential this guy showed as a writer. So that's something.
Yet I number him in this song;
He, too, has resigned his part (35-36)
Yeats faces his toughest test when he has to write about John MacBride, the estranged husband of a woman Yeats loved. Yeats makes no bones about the fact that he despised MacBride, but still feels like he needs to mention the guy because he (MacBride) gave his life to the cause of Irish freedom.
Minute by minute they live:
The stone's in the midst of all (55-56)
In stanza 3 of the poem, Yeats compares the passion and courage of the Irish fighters to a stone that sits unchanging at the bottom of a flowing stream. There's definitely some admiration here, if only because Yeats knows that he personally doesn't show this kind of consistency in his own life. He tends to go with the flow like most people.
I write it out in verse—
MacDonagh and MacBride
And Connolly and Pearse (74-76)
Toward the end of the poem, Yeats still can't commit to full-blown admiration for the Irish fighters. But one thing's for sure: he just wrote a poem about them. This is kind of weird, because Yeats is looking back on his poem and wondering why he just wrote it. Now that's ambivalence for you.
All changed, changed utterly
Now that the Irish fighters are dead, it's safe to say that they've all been changed utterly. Even Ireland's history has been changed. But Yeats might be taking it a bit far to say that the fighters' sacrifice was beautiful, even if it's a terrible beauty. Then again, maybe he's right. Your call.
He might have won fame in the end (28)
Even though Yeats is trying to commemorate people for dying in the Easter Uprising, he can't help but wonder if one of the fighters—a fellow Irish poet—could have gone on to become famous if he hadn't gotten involved in the conflict. You almost wonder if Yeats sees a bit of himself in this younger poet. You know, apart from the fact that Yeats played it safe and went on to live a long and influential life.
He, too, has resigned his part
In the casual comedy (36-37)
Even though Yeats can't stand this dude named John MacBride, he has to admit that the guy was pretty brave to give his life to the cause of Irish freedom. But Yeats can't help but make one last dig by calling the Uprising a "casual comedy." In other words, there's something sadly ridiculous about the Easter Uprising, since it didn't really accomplish anything.
Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart (57-58)
For Yeats, sacrifice can be a good thing. But too much of it can make a person's heart turn to stone. After all, there's only so much death you can handle before you start to care a little less.
Was it needless death after all?
For England may keep faith (67-68)
Here, Yeats says something that would have been on the minds of many Irish people, although it wasn't something you wanted to say out loud. It turns out that Ireland was going to get its independence either way after World War I; so all of the death and sacrifice of the Easter Uprising might have actually been pointless.
Now and in time to be,
Wherever green is worn (77-78)
By the end of the poem, Yeats admits that whenever people were green (Ireland's official color) in the future, they will be connected to the people who died in the Easter Uprising. It's pretty much the nicest thing Yeats can say about the fighters' sacrifice without actually saying he admires them in any way.
Being certain that they and I
But lived where motley is worn (13-14)
Yeats always lived his daily life figuring that he lived in a world where nothing should be taken too seriously. He was totally sure that that was the basic principle of daily life—nothing really matters too much and everyone is more or less satisfied with the way things are. But Yeats turns out to be wrong on this one.
As a matter of principle, Yeats feels like there's something important that has happened with the Easter Uprising. He wants to connect all of the death and sacrifice to larger events that have taken place throughout history. And even though all the death might be terrible, there is something beautiful about how it fits in with the cycle of death and violence that has always been going on in the world.
Her nights in argument
Until her voice grew shrill (19-20)
It looks like Yeats isn't all that big a fan of women entering the world of politics. While he tends to be pretty nice to the men involved in the Easter Uprising, Yeats regrets the fact that a beautiful woman like the Countess Constance Markievicz threw away her femininity by yelling about politics until her voice "grew shrill." Sheesh, Yeats. We know you wrote a long time ago, but that's still pretty misogynistic.
He, too, has been changed in his turn (38)
Even though Yeats could never stand Major John MacBride, he is willing to give the guy his due for sticking to his principles and fighting in the Easter Uprising. John MacBride was the husband of a woman Yeats was totally in love with, so you can see how giving MacBride his props would have been tough for Yeats.
The world tends to be a place where things are constantly changing and people are adapting to that change. But like a stone, the fighters of the Easter Uprising weren't willing to take things as they came. They decided to take matters into their own hands. Their unchanging principles make them like a stone that won't change even though water might flow around it.
That is heaven's part, our part
To murmur name upon name,
As a mother names her child (60-62)
It turns out that it might not be our role as humans to decide when there's been enough death and suffering in the world. According to Yeats, that's the responsibility of heaven or God. It's our responsibility to just keep having babies and mourning each other when we die. Yeesh, no wonder the guy didn't bother fighting in any battles. That's about as stoic as it gets.
For most of his adult life, Yeats was happy to walk around Dublin and make meaningless small talk with the people around him. But all of that changed with the Easter Uprising of 1916. After that, everything was different. A lot of people were dead, yet Yeats can't help but feel that their historical sacrifice has a sort of terrible beauty to it.
Yeats wasn't all that big a fan of Major John MacBride. But he still has to admit that the dude has become a little bit immortal because of the role he played in the Easter Uprising. Then again, the phrase "changed utterly" might just mean that MacBride is dead. You never know with Yeats.
Hearts with one purpose alone
Through summer and winter seem
Enchanted to a stone (41-43)
For Yeats, there's something potentially immortal in the fact that the Irish fighters had a passion for freedom that never seemed to change over time. In this world, most things do change like the seasons. But the fighters' passion is immortal like a stone, unchanging and permanent.
Things in this world tend to change minute by minute. We get up, we move around, and life goes on. But the people who've died in the Easter Uprising can't change anymore because they're dead. On the other hand, there's almost something immortal about the fact that there's no more changes left for them to undergo.
No, no, not night but death (66)
For the past few lines, Yeats has been talking about how "night" has come over the people who fought in the Easter Uprising. Now usually, most poets would be content to leave the metaphorical connection between night and death up to us. But not Yeats. Here, he decides to make it clear that he's talking about death. As in dead. No immortality, despite what he's said in other places.
At the end of the poem, Yeats decides that after all of his hemming and hawing, he thinks that the people who've died in the Easter Uprising have achieved some sort of immortality. After all, these people are part of Irish history, and whether people know their names or not, they'll always be part of what's going on whenever green is worn. That's because green is the color of Ireland and these people died for the cause of Irish freedom.

W.P. "Bill" Atkinson bought land in the area that would become Midwest City after hearing speculation that an air field was going to be built nearby. The city, which was incorporated on March 11, 1943, was named for the air field's original designation as the Midwest Air Depot.[5] When Major General Clarence L. Tinker of Pawhuska, Oklahoma became the first American general killed in World War II (June 7, 1942) near Wake Island, the airfield was renamed in his honor.
Seward Mott, the director of the Federal Housing Administration's Land Planning Division, helped design the city, gaining national print and broadcast attention, and it became a model for postwar community development. The city incorporated the Mishak community of Czech and German immigrants that had formed in what now is the southeast part of the city.
In 1947, returning veteran Nicholas Harroz opened Nick's Brett Drive Grocery, which later became Crest Discount Foods. Soon after its opening, Midwest City citizens opted for a charter-council-city manager form of government to better manage their rapid growth.
Midwest City's regional hospital was dedicated October 6, 1962, built with the use of bond money. Voters also approved the creation of a junior college district in 1968. Oscar Rose Junior College opened its doors to students in 1970 and is now known as Rose State College. The Heritage Park Mall opened in 1978 on North Air Depot and was a prime shopping area in the city for several decades. The first Sam's Club was opened in Midwest City on April 7, 1983.
In the early 1970s, the Glenwood Addition subdivision, just north of the TAFB runway, was purchased from individual owners with funds raised in a county-wide bond election after plane crashes in the area killed several civilians and military crewmen. Eight hundred and thirty five homes were moved and an elementary school was closed. The former subdivision is fenced off and used for storage and training exercises for TAFB personnel.
Portions of Midwest City, particularly northwest of Tinker Air Force Base, sustained extreme damage from a violent tornado that swept through the southern and eastern areas of the Oklahoma City metro on May 3, 1999. While it produced F5 damage in South Oklahoma City, damage in Midwest City was rated F4 with numerous destroyed homes and three fatalities. Another strong tornado struck almost exactly the same area four years later on May 8, 2003.
City officials worked to revitalize S.E. 29th Street in the early 21st century, leading to the development of a new Town Center Plaza shopping area that faces Interstate 40 and Tinker Air Force Base. The Town Center Plaza development replaced an aging, largely deserted Atkinson Plaza shopping center. In 2003, the Reed Center, a 60,000-square-foot convention center, was built.
