Each month we carry a round-up featuring some of the many activities that are taking place around the country so that you can see just how effective they are.
Dublin City Sport and Wellbeing Partnership will be Going GAGA again in the coming weeks as they repeat last years Getting All Girls Active campaign around the city and all over social media.
They've also been very active this week on the Draw taking place in Dublin for the Euro 2020 qualifiers.
Beat The Barge Zombie Run had 233 participants registered in the 4 km run. With lots of Families walking as well. There was a fantastic turn out of supporting spectators and a great effort for fancy dress.
22 of our SVT Youth sport leaders also received their Sport Leader Level 2 Award after the Beat the Barge run which they completed on their mid term break earlier this year. This group of sport leaders have over the past 2 years of SVT Activity & Wellness Hub come along to event after event and helped out in so many ways.
To give you an idea of some events they gladly help organise and assisted at were operation transformation, Easter camp, Bikes & Bites, Athletics Summer camp, Assisting at learn to cycle camp, 3 day cycling camp in Emo, Fossey Mountain camp out. Canoeing & Kayaking sessions and many more.
This group of young people are also nominated for the youth category in the up coming Laois Community & Voluntary Awards.
If you would like to feature in next month's Round Up please send your information by email to reach us no later than Friday 14th December.


A customer of mine run out of memory due to much server processes of dedicated connected client sessions. As an alternative I tried to explain the options between DEDICATED and SHARED SERVER concepts as an initial attempt/workaround for the client software problems. Looking around on the internet for pictures and or newbie documentation, I found the following nugget on YouTube that explains the basics and how to address them.
Due to the fact that the XMLDB XDB Repository Architecture, which makes it possible to connect to the database via HTTP(s)/WebDAV en FTP, also makes use of the Oracle Shared Server Architecture (or referenced in the old days as MTS – Multi Threaded Server), this information is still very valid concerning those XDB Repository HTTP(s), WebDAV and FTP connections and/or APEX connections based on the PL/SQL Gateway (which is a part of the XDB Protocol Server functionality).
For my single instance databases, I configure a value of shared_servers=5, and most of the time that should be enough not to cause connection "hiccups" (clients "freeze" for a short while), and an appropriate value for LARGE_POOL_SIZE. Most of the time in a standard DBCA created database, the DISPATCHER parameter is already configured but not really active, because not a lot of people are aware of the XMLDB Repository access architecture and therefore don't connect via this method. Also due to an enhancement request I once made during 11.1, HTTP(s)/WebDAV/FTP ports are not enabled via DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT() and DBMS_XDB.SETFTPPORT(), that is, have both a value of 0.
The video talks about configuring DISPATCHER, SHARED_SERVER, LARGE_POOL_SIZE, etc. I never really tweak parameters before it is really needed. So one of the small pieces of advice I would give you, is that you should realize that, besides setting values to be able peak connection strains on the database, you should also realize that LARGE_POOL_SIZE (when set) will also automatically be used for other mechanisms like RMAN backup optimization. So while trying to figure out stuff like "sessions", "circuit" etc value, keep in mind that this static LARGE_POOL_SIZE parameter, during peak moments, has to take into account stuff like RMAN backup windows/run times on that database.

Are Defined Benefit Pension Funds Disappearing?
Although this could be a sore subject for many of those reading, the article below and ones like it are important to pay attention to with shifts in the pensions environment.
Below you will find an article released on 14/01/18 by Geoff Ho on express.co.uk. In the 24 hours since this article was released, Carillion has now gone into liquidation putting thousands of jobs at risk and needing £300M of short-term funding. As Carillion is carrying a pensions deficit of roughly £580M this could be very worrying for retired Carillion workers, although, their pensions will be protected by the Pensions Protection Fund (PPF) acting as a pensions "lifeboat" to ensure all pensions are paid out in accordance with its normal rules.
Employer-sponsored defined benefit pension funds have been struggling under enormous financial pressures for years and the day is coming when there will be none left in the private sector.
The Government's Pension Protection Fund (PPF) is on standby in case it needs to rescue the 13 UK defined benefit (DB) pension schemes operated by Carillion, the outsourcing and construction group that is fighting for its survival.
Even if Carillion escapes the fate of the Toys R Us, Palmer & Harvey and Monarch Airlines schemes, others will follow soon enough.
Over the last 20 years a toxic combination of low interest rates, stock market crashes, accounting rule changes, Government tax raids (see Mr G Brown) and people living longer have fatally undermined the DB pensions system's finances.
Even though stock markets have been on an extended bull run, low interest rates have sent pension fund liabilities rocketing.
Rates have started to rise, but it is too late as firms are no longer willing to shoulder the burden of running a DB scheme.
No company formed in recent years offers one.
The private sector DB schemes that have surpluses will eventually end up being sold to insurers, while the underfunded ones will wind up with the PPF.
It will not happen tomorrow, but the sun is setting on the golden era of workers' pensions and only schemes that expose members completely to the stock market, called defined contribution funds, will remain.
*Please note that this article does not necessarily reflect Capital Wealth Partners (CWP) view on the current DB Pensions situation and CWP does not encourage anyone to move away from a DB Pension where it may not be suitable.

A Bach: The Goldberg Variations Glenn Gould 1956-ben megjelent bemutatkozó albuma. Johann Sebastian Bach Goldberg-variációk (BWV 988) című művének interpretációja igazi áttörést jelentett az ifjú zongorista számára, aki hamar nemzetközi hírnévre tett szert. Az lemez egyike lett a világ legismertebb zongorafelvételeinek. (Az eladási adatok elképesztőek voltak: az 1960-as években 40 000, 1982-ben Gould halálának évében több mint 100 000 példány kelt el a felvételből.)

Gould 1981-ben, nem sokkal halála előtt elkészítette a Goldberg Variációk egy újabb változatát, melyen az 1955-ös felvételnél jóval lassabb tempóban keltette életre Bach művét.

A felvétel
A Goldberg-variációk azon kevés Bach-művek közé tartozik, amelyeknél Bach megnevezte a csembalót, mint az előadás hangszerét. Az 1950-es évekig csak néhány zongorafelvétel készült, azok is főleg kis kiadók gondozásában. Gould hangszerválasztása Bach művéhez szokatlan, sőt újszerű volt. Komoly játéktechnikai kihívás volt zongorán játszani a darabot. Először egy 1954-es koncerten adta elő a Goldberg-variációkat, mely az elkövetkező években koncert repertoárjának központi elem volt.

A felvételek a Columbia Records 30-dik utcai stúdiójában készültek New York-ban, Manhattanben 1955 június 10 és 16 között, néhány héttel azután, hogy Gould aláírta szerződését a kiadóval. Az albumot a kiadó klasszikus zenei részlege, a Columbia Masterworks Records adta ki 1956 januárjában. Gould felvétele, mely meghozta számára a nemzetközi ismertséget, egyike a Columbia legtöbb példányszámban eladott lemezeinek.

Gould a szerződésében külön kérte annak kikötését, hogy a művészi szabadságot garantálja számára a kiadó. A Columbia Records az ifjú zongorista tehetsége látva tiszteletben tartotta Gould különcségeit: saját zongoraszéket hozatott, téli ruhákat viselt, egy alkalommal játék előtt a kezeit és a karját forró vízben áztatta több mint húsz percig. A megfelelő zongora kiválasztása sem volt könnyű: kevés zongora volt, amely megfelelt Gould igényeinek. A Goldberg Variations-t egy  CD 19-es Steinway zongorán rögzítették, melyet a koncertjeire is elszállíttatott.

A mű viszonylag hosszú: 40-től 80 percig terjedhet, ami a tempótól és attól függ, hogy a játékos mennyit ismétel. Gould gyors zongorajátéka és az ismétlések kihagyása egy kifejezetten rövid felvételt eredményezett: az előadás 38 perc 24 másodperc hosszú volt. Szemben az 1981-es felvétel 51 perc 18 másodperces játékidejével.

Gould folyamatosan törekedett arra, hogy játékát, előadásmódját tökéletesítse. Nem kevesebb mint 21 bevezető Aria változatot vettek fel, mire elégedett volt az eredménnyel.

1981-es felvétel
Halála előtt nem sokkal Gould még egyszer eljátszotta a Goldberg-variációkat. Ez a változat egy hosszabb, bensőségesebb mű lett. Gould játéktempójával egyesíteni próbálta a különböző variációkat, több ismétlést játszott és arra törekedett, hogy a kidomborítsa az egyes részek közötti zenei kapcsolatokat. A felvételek 1981 tavaszán ismét a 30-dik utcai stúdióban készültek. Ez a lemez volt az utolsó, amit ebben a stúdióban rögzítettek.

Rush ask Civic Center to cover $73,500 October losses
By Stewart Huntington |
Updated: Tue 11:50 AM, Nov 13, 2018
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA TV) -- Rapid City's minor league hockey team continues to skate on thin financial ice and needs a bailout from the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center of more than $73,000.
The Rapid City Rush came to Civic Center managers a year ago with a problem.
The team couldn't meet its financial obligations.
The Civic Center agreed to help and the two sides worked out a deal -- signed back in May -- that made the Civic Center a "minor partner" in the team and obligated the center to cover Rush financial losses up to $350,000 a year for three years.
On Tuesday the first payment to the team under that agreement comes before the Civic Center board.
The Rush took the town by storm a decade ago and played in front of sold out crowds.
But in the last few years the team has come up short in the win column and on the bottom line.
Managing partner Scott Mueller said back in May, "Winning helps a lot of things."
This season the team's popularity is flagging and attendance is down 22 percent compared to last year, with an average crowd of about 2,400 fans --despite a winning record of 6 and 5.
Just four years ago the team was drawing over 3,800 fans a game.
Mayor Steve Allender has said none of the potential payments to the team comes from taxpayer funds but the Civic Center itself does receive millions of dollars a year in tax subsidies.

Mutter («Madre», en alemán) es el tercer álbum de estudio de la banda alemana de metal industrial Rammstein. Fue lanzado el 2 de abril de 2001 y apareció en tres ediciones distintas: la europea se vendió en un digipack con un solo CD. La norteamericana consistió en una edición de dos CD, con el vídeo de «Sonne» y la canción «Hallelujah». La versión japonesa, de solo un CD, contiene también esta última canción solo que escondida tras dos minutos después del último título.

Estilo del álbum
La portada del disco muestra parte de la cara de un feto conservado en alcohol, fotografiado por Daniel y Geo Fuchs para su libro "Conserving". La parte trasera muestra un detalle de la misma fotografía, esta vez las manos del feto sobre su abdomen. En la parte interior están las letras de cada canción y fotografías impactantes de los seis miembros de la banda como si fueran fetos muertos con diversas heridas o malformaciones y estuvieran conservados en alguna solución especial. Al pie de cada página se representa un electrocardiograma continuo y partes de la cadena del ADN.

Letras

Mein Herz brennt

Canción que habla sobre el miedo a la noche y sobre las pesadillas. Las primeras estrofas vienen del programa para niños Das Sandmännchen (El hombrecito del saco en España, El Arenerito en Latinoamérica). Esta canción ha sido usada en varias películas y programas de televisión. Nombre del proyecto: Sandmann (El hombre del saco). Esta es la única canción del álbum que no contó con videoclip oficial hasta la salida del recopilatorio Made in Germany 1995-2011. Se estrenó en 2012, 11 años después de la salida de Mutter.

Links 2 3 4

La canción es un posicionamiento político izquierdista de Rammstein para desmentir las acusaciones de pro-fascismo vertidas sobre ellos. El estribillo evoca una marcha militar.

Sonne

Originalmente mentada como una canción de introducción para el boxeador ucraniano Vitali Klichko, la canción habla del sol y la mañana, y como el sol siempre sale la gente lo quiera o no. Finalmente, el boxeador rechazó la canción. Nombre del proyecto: Klischko o también Der Boxer (El Boxeador).

Ich will

Habla de como a la banda no le importa el dinero, sino ser escuchados. En el vídeo, podemos asociar la canción como una crítica a los medios de comunicación, siendo necesario cometer actos delictivos y perjudiciales para llamar su atención, con intención de adoctrinar, dando demasiada importancia a tales actos y con tal de vender una buena historia, y estos, tratando a los criminales como si fueran una especie de anti héroes.

Feuer frei!

Solo dice principalmente del dolor de las relaciones y como a veces la felicidad de uno puede venir a costa del dolor de otro.

Mutter

La canción tiene un parecido a Frankenstein, ya que habla de un ser creado artificialmente que desea vengarse de su "madre", pero una vez logrado esto se da cuenta de que no tiene razón de vivir y le pide a su "madre" que le de fuerzas.
También se cree que este tema habla de la clonación en humanos, porque en una de sus frases dice "No tengo ombligo en mi vientre", "Fui engendrado con prisas y sin semen" por lo que da a pensar que la canción puede estar dedicada a la madre que nunca tuvo.

Spieluhr
Habla de un niño que para que lo dejen solo finge su propia muerte y es enterrado en un cementerio (sin ceremonia) con una caja de música en las manos. Finalmente los pueblerinos que lo enterraron escuchan en Totensonntag (Domingo de los muertos, en el cual los Cristianos protestantes recuerdan a sus muertos, celebrado el último domingo antes del Adviento) la canción de la caja de música, y lo rescatan. En esta canción también canta Khira Li Lindemann, hija de Richard Z. Kruspe y de la exesposa de Till.

Zwitter
Una canción que se parece mucho a la historia de Hermafrodito pero revertida, siendo el hombre el que obliga a la mujer a fundirse con él, habla del amor narcisista en extremo.

Rein raus
Canción que habla del sexo (específicamente en la posición perrito) y las relaciones de una noche.

Adios
Habla de un hombre que utiliza la droga como inspiración para la música, pero cuando intenta dejarla no puede. El coro de esta canción (Nichts ist für dich, Nichts war für dich, Nichts bleibt für dich: Nada es para ti, Nada era para ti, Nada queda para ti) viene de una de las primeras canciones que cantó Rammstein conocida como «Jeder Lacht» (Todos se Ríen), que hablaba del odio y la baja autoestima de una persona.

Nebel
Habla sobre dos amantes que se dan el último beso en medio de la niebla, antes de que la mujer muera (probablemente por una enfermedad, ya que en la canción se menciona "Sie trägt den Abend in der Brust" o "Ella lleva la noche en el pecho").

Polémicas
Max Müller, cantante de la banda underground berlinesa Mutter, se mostró enfadado por la elección del título del disco de Rammstein.

La portada del álbum, al mostrar la cara de un feto, fue también duramente criticada por diversas autoridades religiosas.

Week six in our Leadership Perspectives series shifts to the West and Mayor Don Kyle of the River City, Decatur, Alabama. I had not spent much (any) time with Mayor Kyle previously so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Having now completed the interview I am amazed at what you can learn when you really aren't trying.
Decatur is Alabama's 6th largest city with a population just under 55,000. Mayor Kyle was the Mayor from 2004-2008, then lost to Don Stanford in 2008. He waited until 2012, ran again, and won. Before the interview I asked him what he had learned after going through that roller coaster. He joked and said that while in office he should have focused more on marketing, that not enough people knew what they were accomplishing. Reflecting back to our time as Mayor I realized we had those discussions many times, when and how should we tell what we had done? Coming from that marketing world, I think we found a good balance.
Sitting on the Tennessee River, Decatur is home to a great deal of industry, including the United Space Launch facility which is one of the largest buildings under one roof in the world. Working for PB&S Chemical (now Brentagg) as a salesman in the 90′s, I called on most of these industries and learned my way around. As our boys have grown older, they played soccer at the Jack Allen complex and basketball at Decatur and Austin High Schools. Like us, other Madison families have learned Decatur is an easy 20-minute drive, and I can be at Decatur High School more quickly (driving the speed limit of course) than Grissom High School in Huntsville.
Yet, with all of that familiarity I still didn't feel I knew Decatur or Mayor Kyle well. As we went through the interview, Mayor Kyle answered many of the questions with examples of city projects. I started connecting dots and realized we had some major similarities as Mayor. When he started in 2004, he realized sales tax was stagnant, and he needed more top line revenue. They pursued a major retail development and eventually partnered with GBT Realty to build a shopping center anchored by Target. Wow, wasn't that eerily familiar. Eight years later the area around that center has "blown up" with retail and the Target center has produced a solid ROI for the city. I certainly hope that the decisions we made as council and Mayor in 2011 have the same positive results for our citizens.
Mayor Kyle also talked about Decatur's focus on downtown development. After trips to Chattanooga to learn about their successful downtown revitalization (all elected officials go there to see it – me included) they had worked to secure destination spots knowing more retail (shops and restaurants) would follow. He named off a bevy of success examples, I welcomed the excitement he displayed knowing he had been a part of that success. Again… wasn't that eerily familiar. Our historic downtown Madison is coming to life with more and more destination and retail spots. Every time I drive by and see a lot of cars, I smile knowing we had a part in making it happen.
As I close, I again thank Mayor Kyle for his time. I learned so much in our short time together. I can tell he feels more confident coming into office this time as he has four years of previous experience under his belt. That sure won't hurt. I will make one prognostication… as he and his team complete projects, I bet there will be more "marketing" involved!

In the Vilna Ghetto and in the Rudninkai Forest (both in Lithuania), Abba Kovner, only 25 years old, led resistance fighters against the murderous Nazi enemy during the Holocaust.
Abba Kovner was born in 1918 in Sevastopol, Russia, but later moved to Vilna (now in Lithuania), where he attended a Hebrew secondary school. During these early years, Kovner became an active member in the Zionist youth movement, Ha-Shomer ha-Tsa'ir.
In September 1939, World War II began. Only two weeks later, on September 19, the Red Army entered Vilna and soon incorporated it into the Soviet Union. Kovner became active during this time, 1940 to 1941, with the underground. But life changed drastically for Kovner once the Germans invaded.
On June 24, 1941, two days after Germany launched its surprise attack against the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa), the Germans occupied Vilna. As the Germans were sweeping east toward Moscow, they instigated their ruthless oppression and murderous Aktionen in the communities they occupied.
Vilna, with a Jewish population of approximately 55,000, was known as the "Jerusalem of Lithuania" for its flourishing Jewish culture and history. The Nazis soon changed that.
As Kovner and 16 other members of the Ha-Shomer ha-Tsa'ir hid in a convent of Dominican nuns a few miles outside of Vilna, the Nazis began to rid Vilna of its "Jewish problem."
Less than a month after the Germans occupied Vilna, they conducted their first Aktionen. Einsatzkommando 9 rounded up 5,000 Jewish men of Vilna and took them to Ponary (a location approximately six miles from Vilna that had pre-dug large pits, which the Nazis used as a mass extermination area for Jews from the Vilna area).
The Nazis made the pretense that the men were to be sent to labor camps when they were really sent to Ponary and shot.
dragged by the hair by two soldiers, a woman who was holding something in her arms. One of them directed a beam of light into her face, the other one dragged her by her hair and threw her on the pavement.
Such scenes occurred frequently during this four-day Aktion - ending with 8,000 men and women taken to Ponary and shot.
Though they had experienced terror and destruction, the Jews of Vilna were still not ready to believe the truth about Ponary. Even when a survivor of Ponary, a woman named Sonia, came back to Vilna and told of her experiences, no one wanted to believe. Well, a few did. And these few decided to resist.
In December 1941, there were several meetings between the activists in the ghetto. Once the activists had decided to resist, they needed to decide, and agree, on the best way to resist.
One of the most urgent problems was whether they should stay in the ghetto, go to Bialystok or Warsaw (some thought there would be a better chance at successful resistance in these ghettos), or move to the forests.
Coming to an agreement on this issue was not easy. Kovner, known by his nom de guerre of "Uri," offered some of the main arguments for staying in Vilna and fighting. In the end, most decided to stay, but a few decided to leave.
These activists wanted to instil a passion for fighting within the ghetto. To do this, the activists wanted to have a mass meeting with many different youth groups in attendance. But the Nazis were always watching, especially noticeable would be a large group. So, in order to disguise their mass meeting, they arranged it on December 31, New Year's Eve, a day of many, many social gatherings.
Do not trust those who are trying to deceive you. Out of the eighty thousand Jews in the "Jerusalem of Lithuania" only twenty thousand are left. . . . Ponar [Ponary] is not a concentration camp. They have all been shot there. Hitler plans to destroy all the Jews of Europe, and the Jews of Lithuania have been chosen as the first in line.
We will not be led like sheep to the slaughter!
True, we are weak and defenseless, but the only reply to the murderer is revolt!
Brothers! Better to fall as free fighters than to live by the mercy of the murderers.
The Creation of the F.P.O.
It was at this meeting that these representatives decided to form a united fighting group called the Fareinikte Partisaner Organizatzie - F.P.O. ("United Partisans Organization). The organization was formed to unite all the groups in the ghetto, prepare for mass armed resistance, perform acts of sabotage, fight with partisans, and try to get other ghettos to also fight.
It was agreed at this meeting that the F.P.O. would be lead by a "staff command" made up of Kovner, Glazman, and Wittenberg with the "chief commander" being Wittenberg.
Later, two more members were added to staff command - Abraham Chwojnik of the Bund and Nissan Reznik of the Ha-No'ar ha-Ziyyoni - expanding the leadership to five.
Now that they were organized it was time to prepare for the fight.
Having the idea to fight is one thing, but being prepared to fight is quite another. Shovels and hammers are no match to machine guns. Weapons needed to be found. Weapons were an extremely hard item to attain in the ghetto. Even harder to acquire was ammunition.
There were two main sources from which the ghetto inhabitants could obtain guns and ammunition - partisans and the Germans. Neither wanted the Jews to be armed.
Slowly collecting by buying or stealing, risking their lives every day for carrying or hiding, the members of the F.P.O. were able to collect a small stash of weapons. They were hidden all over the ghetto - in walls, underground, even under a false bottom of a water bucket.
The resistance fighters were preparing to fight during the final liquidation of the Vilna Ghetto. No one knew when that was going to happen - it could be days, weeks, perhaps even months. So every day, the members of the F.P.O. practiced.
One knock on a door - then two - then another single knock. That was the F.P.O.s secret password.6 They would take out the hidden weapons and learn how to hold it, how to shoot it, and how not to waste the precious ammunition.
Everyone was to fight - no one was to head for the forest until all was lost.
Preparation was ongoing. The ghetto had been peaceful - no Aktionen since December 1941. But then, in July 1943, disaster struck the F.P.O.
At a meeting with the head of Vilna's Jewish council, Jacob Gens, on the night of July 15, 1943, Wittenberg was arrested. As he was taken out of the meeting, other F.P.O. members were alerted, attacked the policemen, and freed Wittenberg. Wittenberg then went into hiding.
By the next morning, it was announced that if Wittenberg were not apprehended, the Germans would liquidate the entire ghetto - consisting of approximately 20,000 people. The ghetto residents were angry and began attacking F.P.O. members with stones.
Wittenberg, knowing he was going to sure torture and death, turned himself in. Before he left, he appointed Kovner as his successor.
A month and a half later, the Germans decided to liquidate the ghetto. The F.P.O. tried to persuade the ghetto residents not to go for the deportation because they were being sent to their deaths.
But the ghetto residents did not believe this, they believed they were being sent to work camps - and in this case, they were right. Most of these transports were being sent to labor camps in Estonia.
On September 1, the first clash broke out between the F.P.O. and the Germans. As the F.P.O. fighters shot at the Germans, the Germans blew up their buildings. The Germans retreated at nightfall and let the Jewish police round up the remaining ghetto residents for the transports, at the insistence of Gens.
The F.P.O. came to the realization that they would be alone in this fight. The ghetto population was not willing to rise up; instead, they were willing to try their chances at a labor camp rather than certain death in revolt. Thus, the F.P.O. decided to escape to the forests and become partisans.
Since the Germans had the ghetto surrounded, the only way out was through the sewers.
Once in the forests, the fighters created a partisan division and performed many acts of sabotage. They destroyed the power and water infrastructures, freed groups of prisoners from the Kalais labor camp, and even blew up some German military trains.
Kovner survived to the end of the war. Though he had been instrumental in establishing a resistance group in Vilna and led a partisan group in the forests, Kovner did not stop his activities at the war's end. Kovner was one of the founders of the underground organization to smuggle Jews out of Europe called Beriha.
Kovner was caught by the British near the end of 1945 and was jailed for a short time. Upon his release, he joined Kibbutz Ein ha-Horesh in Israel, with his wife, Vitka Kempner, who had also been a fighter in the F.P.O.
Kovner kept his fighting spirit and was active in Israel's War for Independence.
After his fighting days, Kovner wrote two volumes of poetry for which he won the 1970 Israel Prize in Literature.
Kovner died at age 69 in September 1987.

This is Monday so it was curling day once again. As per normal the team I was on gave it a valiant try, however, we came up a couple points too short. It was 7-6 for the other team going into the last end. We had the hammer which should have allowed us to at least tie the game. As per normal, the team didn't bring it to the forefront and we gave up a steal of 1 in the final end. The final score being 8 to 6 for the other folks. Mark that down as one more 'L' beside my name.
That makes it 7 L's and 1 W for my record in the league so far this curling year.
But of course it is all for fun and exercise, so I certainly don't take it personally. When you are playing with different people on your team every week, anything is possible. In my case it is just a bunch of L's beside my name.

Q: How to avoid two-phase construction of aggregated types referenced by shared pointers with back-references? Assume I have a type Aggregator and one Aggregatee. The former knows a collection of the latter by shared_ptrs. The latter has a unique back pointer to the former:
struct Aggregatee {
  private:
    Aggregator& aggregator;
    Aggregatee(Aggregator& aggregator)
      : aggregator{aggregator} {
      // PROBLEM HERE:
      //   I want to put `this` into the aggregation list,
      //   but I have no clue how to properly refer to `this`
      //   because I don't have the smart pointer object, yet.
    }
    Aggregatee(Aggregatee const& from) { /* ... */ }
  public:
    template <typename Args...>
    static std::shared_ptr<Aggregatee> create(Args... args) {
      return std::make_shared<Aggregatee>(args...);
    }
};

struct Aggregator {
  std::set<std::shared_ptr<Aggregatee>> aggregation;
};

Obviously I can defer registering the Aggregatee in the Aggregator object after make_shared with a private register function, but it smells like two-phase as the object is temporarily inconsistently initialised.
Is there any known solution to this?

A: What you are trying to avoid is actually a quite common pattern: the aggregator (container) is created, then aggregatees (elements) are created and inserted into the container. The element can be created with the back pointer passed to the constructor, and then inserted into the container, or the backpointer.
Consider for example a binary tree with backpointers, the elements are created at the leaves with pointers to the parent node, and the pointer is immediately stored in the parent node.
As to your particular question, it cannot be done, as you cannot get a shared_ptr to an object before the object is created, not even with enable_shared_from_this.

A: Depending on your application, you could move the static create method from Aggregatee to a regular member method Aggregator. Then you can create the shared_ptr and store it in the same method.
This assumes that an Aggregatee is always associated with an Aggregator.

A: You could use an intrusive shared pointer.  Since the reference count then lives inside the shared object, the Aggregatee can create a shared pointer to itself inside its own constructor.
Boost has an example of an intrusive pointer type, or you can roll your own quite easily.
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_51_0/libs/smart_ptr/intrusive_ptr.html
// shared base type contains the reference counter; how you implement the
// reference counting depends on your implementation.
struct Aggregatee : public shared {
  private:
    Aggregator& aggregator;

    Aggregatee(Aggregator& aggregator) : aggregator{aggregator} {
      // Boost allows a raw pointer to be implicitly cast to an intrusive
      // pointer, but maybe your intrusive pointer type won't.
      aggregator.aggregation.insert(intrusive_ptr<Aggregatee>(this));
    }

    Aggregatee(Aggregatee const& from) { /* ... */ }

  public:
    template <typename Args...>
    static intrusive_ptr<Aggregatee> create(Args... args) {
      return new intrusive_ptr<Aggregatee>(args...);
    }
};

struct Aggregator {
  std::set<intrusive_ptr<Aggregatee>> aggregation;
};

One thing you have to be mindful of is that the Aggregatee is indeed stored in a smart pointer after construction.
Aggregatee aggregatee(aggregator);  // Very bad!
intrusive_ptr<Aggregatee> aggregatee(new Aggregatee(aggregator));  // Good

Also, you'd better be damned sure that your Aggregator holds onto the intrusive_ptr until the Aggregatee is fully constructed, otherwise the Aggregatee will end up being destroyed before the constructor exits!
So there are some caveats that come with this approach, but as far as I am aware, this is the closest you are going to get to achieving what you have asked for.

An opener is the part of your garage door system which allows it to operate automatically. Like a lot of other modem machines today, openers are quickly improving to include functions that can make your daily routine much more comfortable. However, there are many different issues that can plague these devices. Lucky for you, our professional technicians always have a repair solution available.
Just like any other complex piece of machinery, there's a great variety of reasons why something could go wrong. From a tiny motor gear to a burnt electrical wire, finding the culprit can often require a "technical bloodhound".
These settings are what makes your garage door system determine how fast and how far it should open. When they're not set properly, they can make the door hang slightly open, or slam down into the floor when it's closing. Getting them properly adjusted can often fix a lot of issues.
Every machine has a limited lifespan. Sometimes, a problem can prove to be so severe that you'd be better served replacing the entire unit rather than having our experts fix the issue. Sure, it can often be much less expensive to simple get a new opener than trying to repair an older model, but the more important reason you should consider doing it is safety. The older a unit gets, the more wear and tear it has endured over the years. Even if we can repair the current issue, due to its old age, it's more than likely another component will cause your opener to malfunction again shortly.
As garage door service specialists, our experts have dealt with every problem under the sun, for every notable brand names: Craftsman, Chamberlain, LiftMaster®, and more!
Every Chula Vista homeowner should never hesitate to reach out to our professional team for any opener related issue they may be experiencing.

Alegerile parlamentare din Ungaria 1905 au avut loc între 26 ianuarie și 4 februarie 1905 în Transleithania. O nouă majoritate a ocupat Dieta Ungariei (în ).

Sistemul electoral
Începând cu 1867, în Regatul Ungariei avea validitate dreptul electoral pe clase. În Transleithania, privilegiile în funcție de starea socială și de avere erau în mod semnificativ mai pronunțate decât în Cisleithania.

Rezultatele alegerilor

Câștigarea alegerilor a revenit Partidului Independenței și al 48-iștilor. Rezultatul a avut ca efect faptul că, pentru prima dată după 1875, Partidul Liberal nu a putut participa la guvernare. Această situație a dus la Criza maghiară (1905) și la noi alegeri cerute de regele Franz Joseph (Francisc Iosif I).

Murlong Cres: Clothing That's Kind to Your Body and the Environment
"I want to create unique clothes that feels good on your body, without hurting the planet in the process." Kaja, founder of Murlong Cres
Starting a small business takes a leap of faith. Some started because of their hobbies and others were driven by their honest need of a better job. While most companies shifted towards online and work-from-home setups, several people lost their jobs due to the pandemic restrictions.
Norway-based graphic designer Kaja decided to start a small business when they lost their job in June 2020. Kaja always wanted to start one and finally had the privilege to launch Murlong Cres, incorporating graphic design with sustainable clothing.
"I want to create unique clothes that feels good on your body, without hurting the planet in the process."
Every design at Murlong Cres is designed and handmade by Kaja herself. While fashion isn't the most sustainable industry, the brand opted for custom sustainable materials for their fabric, printing materials, and packaging to reduce their environmental footprint. Kaja also talks about their sustainable decisions on their social media to encourage other businesses to do the same.
The graphic designer uses noissue tissue, stickers, and tape which she changes the color every season to align with the festivities. Kaja saw the importance of creating unique packaging designs to make her branding stand out. It makes her products look professional while allowing her customers to feel extra special with each unboxing.
One of the challenges she experienced as a business owner was facing the accounting side of things. Kaja is a graphic and fashion designer who's used to leading creative direction so she had to hire an accountant to help her out. She advises other aspiring business owners to not be afraid of starting small. It's alright to not have everything figured out at first and you have to be ready to juggle your business together with a day job as it may take more time and work for it to take off on its own. Despite all this, Kaja assures that it'll all be worth it.
Her favorite customer story was when someone reached out to Murlong Cres on TikTok to design a dress for her wedding which was happening in a week! Working with a stressful time crunch, Kaja did her best and was able to send out the dress in time. When she saw the dress worn by her customer on her wedding day, she couldn't help but cry a little.
You could tell that Kaja puts a lot of heart into her work and that's something to admire about small business owners. Each product is treated as a passion project—from its design and production materials down to how it's packed.

Understanding the impact of Brexit on recruitment
Once Brexit negotiations are completed people from an EU member country may see their right to work removed here. So, can you reject a job application now based on the fact that may happen?
In all aspects of business, including recruitment, until the details of our departure from the EU are officially agreed, it remains business as usual. Therefore you can not reject a job application due to it being from an applicant from another EU member state, or ignore any EU-derived employment rights or laws.
Whilst the future still remains unclear as to what the final agreement will be, and how employment rights will be affected, using nationality as grounds for rejection at this time would be considered discriminatory.
If you would be interested in learning more or having a review of recruitment process or interview skills, we would be happy to provide the HR support that you need. We would love the opportunity to work with you and share our expert HR experience to help you achieve the results you need. Call on 01473 360160 for a chat about how we can support you.
Here's our blog launched shortly after the referendum result…
BREXIT and the Employment Law Consequences, 10th July 2016
In what is likely to be the most significant political decision in a generation, the United Kingdom has voted to leave the European Union by a margin of 3.8%. What will it mean for employment law in the UK?
In the immediate short term, nothing will change. The withdrawal negotiations are likely to take years, with the status quo largely expected to remain intact during this period. Under the Treaty on European Union, the process for withdrawal can take a maximum of two years, and due to the complexity of the break, it is possible that even this deadline will be exceeded.
What happens following the exit is uncertain at this stage, but will turn on the type of relationship that the UK has with the EU following our withdrawal. In some instances UK employment law exceeds the minimum standards expected of EU employment law (such as maternity rights); in these areas it is unlikely any change will occur.
In areas where EU law forms the backbone of our national employment legislation, it is more likely that the government will tweak legislation, rather than overhauling it completely. Workers' protection afforded by TUPE and the Working Time Regulations, for example, has become the norm in UK employment law, and it would be controversial if the government sought to remove such rights completely.

Where and what is Storm's End?
In Game of Thrones S08E04 Gendry was named the Lord of Storm's End.
Where is this place? In Westeros? In the northen part or the southern part?
Does this place have any history behind it? I don't think I have seen this place on the opening credits or in the show.
game-of-thrones
StackOneStackOne
Storm's End is the ancestral home of the Baratheon's. At the beginning of Game of Thrones, it was held by Renly Baratheon.
Storm's End is in the southern half of Westeros, as shown on the below image:
As a note, we have seen Storm's End before. This is the castle that Davos smuggled Melisandre into to birth the smoke baby back in season 2.
kuhlkuhl
Do be fair, we didn't really see the castle of Storm's End. The birth takes place in some kind of sewer outflow or something like that, perhaps beneath the castle.
I think the most prominent mentions of Storm's End so far have been Stannis's frequent complaining - that he defended Storm's End in a great siege during Robert's war ("We ate the horses, then the cats - I never liked cats..."); then after the war, Robert gave it to Renly not him, sending him off to Dragonstone, where he had been brooding bitterly ever since.
– user56reinstatemonica8
Might also be worth adding that Storm's End is a seat (capital) of one of the seven kingdoms, "the stormlands", like Highgarden, Winterfell, Riverrun, Casterly Rock etc.
We still haven't seen Storm's end in Game of Thrones:
Unlike Dragonstone, which once belonged to the Targaryens before Robert Baratheon seated his brother Stannis on its stone throne, Storm's End has so far gone unseen in Game of Thrones. Located in Shipbreaker Bay, to the south of King's Landing and Blackwater Bay, Storm's End has been the seat of Baratheon power ever since it was captured by Orys Baratheon, a commander in Aegon Targaryen's army, which invaded Westeros hundreds of years before the events of Game of Thrones. It is an intimidating fortress, which held strong against a siege by House Tyrell during Robert's Rebellion, which overthrew the Targaryens and put the Baratheons on the Iron Throne.
The last lord of Storm's End was Renly Baratheon, who died all the way back in Game of Thrones Season 2, in the early days of the War of the Five Kings. Since then Storm's End has been unoccupied by a Baratheon lord, its ownership uncertain after Stannis, the last of the Baratheons was killed attacking Winterfell.

A few years ago I took it upon myself to install and configure a video surveillance system. Not because I live in a bad neighborhood, but for a sense of security and it made for a low cost project that I could use for years to come.My goal was to have a system I could view and record anytime of the day or night from anywhere with security in mind.
The Surveil DVR-a perfect marriage between the Xeoma surveillance software and the Raspberry Pi 3.The idea to build a small DVR using a Raspberry Pi 3 and the Xeoma software was born when a client of mine, a small shop in the village where I live asked me about an inexpensive CCTV system that also could work as an alarm system during closed hours and could be affordable for his little shop.
Xeoma can easily work with China cameras and our customers show it.
Our customer share with you one cheap solution for video surveillance system which you can apply to Linux ARMv7 boards such as the Orange Pi SBCs.
The S Solutions SRN Enterprise Video Surveillance Storage (VSS) Series is a comprehensive feature- dense with complete video surveillance solution and unlimited flexibility owing to its innovative construction-set principle.
Xeoma surveillance is a state of the art, full featured security system developed by Felenasoft.
Xeoma – Is it the intelligent video surveillance system for me? I've been using a couple of Xiaomi IP camera's (Ants camera's) for over a year now to monitor my house. Although the cams have an option to record to SD it is more convenient to save all streams in a central place. For central storing of camera streams I looked for some sort of CCTV software solution.
Have you considered installing your own camera system for home or office? This is where FelenaSoft's Xeoma video surveillance software comes into play.
This is the story of a two week search for video software for a home security setup. This entailed a lot of reading, but also a lot of hunting for just the right software.
Xeoma makes it easy to manage your camera and if you have Hikvision IP cameras, it is the only one that displays/records correctly the streams (in addition to Hikvision own software).
Connect Xeoma to your DVR and enjoy your free home surveillance.
With Xeoma you can protect your house and prevent stealing bank mails from the mailbox.

Issue 2021-011: Robert Berry / 3.2 Inter-Review
Published Wednesday 10 February 2021
It has been a story in three parts. The first part was an album To The Power Of 3 released back in 1988 featuring the trio of Carl Palmer, Robert Berry and the late, great Keith Emerson.
The second instalment had to wait until 2018, when Berry completed work on the follow-up that he had started with Emerson before his untimely death.
The third, concluding chapter is released this week on the Frontiers record Label. This time created solely by Berry, Third Impression is a record that every progressive music fan will be delighted to indulge in, mixing epic songs with more melodic and AOR moments.
Here, Robert Berry talks with the DPRP's Patrick McAfee about the new album, making videos, re-releasing his solo album, being asked to be the singer of Asia, plans to tour Europe, and his dream-list of artists he would love to be working with.
Robert Berry promo photo
With Third Impression you have again done a tremendous job of continuing the legacy that began with the release of To the Power of 3 in 1988. Whereas the previous 3.2 album (The Rules Have Changed) was initiated by your renewed activity with Keith Emerson, what was the driving force to continue the 3.2 brand with this release?
[Robert Berry] I had been asked by Frontiers Records to do a follow-up to The Rules Have Changed. They told me it had done so well that they would love to have another record. At first I wasn't sure that this was something I could, or should, do. I only had one song left that Keith and I had worked on together and I felt that without the capability of working with him, it might not be a good idea.
I finally decided that if I could write an album's worth of songs that I felt represented the 3 sound and style, then I would finish up the final Emerson/Berry song and let it be released to the world. As with The Rules Have Changed, I felt like something was guiding me, because although at the beginning I didn't think I could do it, the songs came flowing out.
There was also the consideration of, if I did come up with enough songs that I felt would represent what Keith and I had set out to do, how could I also bridge that gap into what I might do in the future. In my mind this is the last ever 3 album. It is the last remaining song of my working with Keith Emerson. It can never happen again. Bitter-sweet for me as you might expect, but on the other hand, such an important piece of my life.
DPRP: We spoke three years ago and you have been honest about how quickly the original 3 band was put together and the reservations you have about the mix of pop and prog on the debut album. The Rules Have Changed rectified that, and Third Impression pushes the barriers even further. Yes, the songs are accessible, but there is more of an aggressive edge and musically-adventurous spirit to much of the material. Do these two albums better represent the original vision that you had for 3 prior to the label's pressure to fit into a certain mould, produce hit singles and all of that?
I maybe could answer that better in terms of my time in GTR with Steve Howe. Steve had asked me to join and given me two songs to work on. As I assessed what I might do, I realised that the first GTR album had a lot of guitars triggering synths and it didn't really sound like a guitar-based album as much as I would think a band called GTR would sound like.
So I gathered my thoughts on what that should be included. More Steve Howe guitar, more powerful rhythms, and more complex vocal harmonies. When 3 first got together, Geffen Records was grooming me to be what John Kalodner had called Bryan Adams-meets-Sting. Straight rock with some more musical creativity. The songs like Runaway and Do Or Don't grew from that concept. Keith and Carl liked them and I was thrilled.
Remember I was the new guy. I had no real history at the level I was working with at that time. So I was happy to go along with what they wanted and what Kalodner had helped happen. Don't get me wrong, I do love both those songs. I just could see, after the album was out, that there needed to be a better foundation laid for the ELP fans to come along on the journey, as they had with Asia.
Taking all that into account, I do think that the parameters that Keith and I set out to accomplish were the important points in relaunching the band 3. I have said before that being half of the song-writing team and being the voice of 3, gave me a certain ownership in the sound and style that at that point only I could continue with. You add it all up and I do think that the second and third albums are definitely what 3 should have done. It was where we were heading with Last Ride Into The Sun, and now, it's where 3 wound up. I'm not sure it was all hindsight though. Some of it was just the path our lives had travelled and how to stay true to our roots, but also move forward.
Third Impression represents some of the strongest song-writing of your career. The material is complex, mature and thought-provoking, while still sounding optimistic and upbeat. When looking back at your career and the music that you've written, what songs/albums are you most proud of. Is there anything that kind of makes you grimace at this point?
I am very pleased that you have listened to Third Impression and hear the depth of what it offers. I will say that although I was worried that I wouldn't be able to top The Rules Have Changed I have received nothing but great comments on the album. As you could imagine, after working in the dark, so to speak, for a year on it, there is a sense of relief that it is being accepted so readily.
The day before the release of the first single Fond Farewell was not an easy day for me. But it's always that way, to tell you the truth. Not everybody has to like what I do and I can accept that, but as in a few albums that have been released by artists in the last few months, once there is a lot of negativity surrounding an album, there is no turning back. I am very thankful for the support of the music fans and I never take that for granted.
That said: I can't stand listening to my voice in the old Hush days. We had a trick we thought was so cool back in the late 70s and early 80s. We'd slow the tape down just a bit and sing the song. Then at the mixing stage, the tape would be played back at normal speed making the vocal a little higher-sounding. Yeah! And that's what I hate. I sound like a chipmunk.
The first Hush album is pretty much a prog album and shows where our roots came from. I am very proud of all the albums, but it took me years to find a voice I could stand. I believe what happens for a singer/songwriter is that they learn how to write songs in the right key and with melodies with the right flow to compliment their voice. That didn't happen for me until right before I got with Geffen Records. My first solo album is called Back To Back. It was a bunch of demos that Hush couldn't do, as they weren't in our format. And I had written the songs in a different style that made my voice come across and sell the lyrics.
Right after that, my career really started to happen. Another important album in that early stage of my developing career was Pilgrimage To A Point. I had spent a few years in London working with my heroes, Geoff Downes, Steve Howe, and Carl and Keith, and a few others. I had all this material that would not see the light of day, if I didn't release it. I wasn't going to do that, until Andy Latimer of Camel was recording in my studio and asked what I was going to do with all those songs. When I told him I had no plans, he pushed me to release Pilgrimage To A Point. The drummer from my high school band days, Richard Katz, actually came up with the name. He is a great graphic artist and also did the cover design. There were two versions of that album and I am combining them, remastering and putting out a special edition later this year.
DPRP: You have done a great job with the promo videos for The Rules Have Changed and Third Impression albums. I was especially impressed with the video for A Fond Farewell. Things have changed since the days of MTV, but thanks to YouTube and the like, music video still seems to be a great creative and promotional tool. What are your thoughts on the value of music videos these days?
I have to give credit to the staff at Frontiers for the Fond Farewell video. Nothing is harder for me than storyboarding a video shoot. I am all about the music and lyrics but not the visual. Although, I do love it when a video either brings out the emotion of the song or tells a different story than the lyric implies. In the case of Fond Farewell the latter is the case.
I wrote it as a bit of a puzzle. I wanted to put the stamp on the 3 sound and style. I wanted to bring to light my feelings about how hateful people are these days and that we are saying farewell to kindness. Of course that was also my main reason for doing the last two albums. I wanted to say farewell to the best time in my musical life. I will never forget how Keith and Carl treated the new-kid like an equal and empowered me to do my best work.
In 2019, just prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, you put together a great band and did an extensive tour of the USA. I had the pleasure of seeing the show in Los Angeles and really enjoyed the historical perspective of the set-list and the storytelling. What are your recollections of that tour, and when the Covid situation improves, is there a chance for a 3.2 tour for the new album?
My main purpose in putting together such a great band and coming out to play was to thank the fans of my music for their support all these years. You have to understand that I'm not a guy that has had such wild success that I'm on the evening news counting my money. No, I am a guy that continues to work hard at doing what I love to do. The listeners have embraced that journey for many years now. So I would start each show by walking out by myself and thanking the crowd for their support. Then one-by-one I would introduce the band members. That they learned all those tough songs and played their hearts out performing my history in music is quite an honour in itself.
I was supposed to tour Europe with Big Big Train last year and of course that was cancelled. So now, you had better believe that I will be on tour as soon as I can! I can't wait. Not because I'm locked up, because I've been quite busy at my studio all of 2020 and it continues this year. But because I have not come over before to play my own show in Europe and to thank the people there for keeping me doing what I love by supporting my music. That is a loose-end I need to take care of.
You have performed with and produced many great bands and artists over the years. As an example, the Magna Carta tribute albums that you were a big part of in the 90s are some of the finest prog covers albums ever released. Do you have a dream list of artists that you would still like to work with?
1) Jeff Beck. I swear that guy doesn't know how to play guitar. He is just part of the guitar, and what he does is so damn brilliant.
2) Paul McCartney. I can't help but feel there would be something magical if we worked together. I am so into the tonal quality of his bass, his incredibly melodic bass lines, and just his sense of song-writing and melody.
3) You probably know well my last choice. Ian Crighton, the guitar player for the band Saga, is a favourite of mine. He has a unique style, like Steve Howe. He plays some interesting parts. Not just power chords and jamming solos. The 3.2 band headlined a night at ProgStock and Saga headlined the following night. He blew me away with his tone and articulation of some very demanding guitar parts.
I saw an idea raised in the comments section of one of the 3.2 videos that I thought was intriguing. Considering that you have previously worked with Carl Palmer, Steve Howe and Geoff Downes, you would be an excellent choice to join Asia. If I am not mistaken, there might have been some chance of that in the past? John Wetton was such a unique talent and his vocals are particularly difficult to replace. That said, I and apparently others feel that you are one of the few artists who could do their music justice, while still putting your own stamp on the material. Much like you did with Ambrosia. At this point in your career, would you ever consider taking time away from your solo work to accept an offer of this type from Asia or another established band?
I would never say never. I have been asked if I was interested two times. Actually three times if you count the first time Carl called from the Geffen Records office in 1986. The first time we started a new band instead. Jackpot! The second time they picked Billy Sherwood. The third time they actually got a guy that did a really great job. Bumblefoot actually did an excellent job.
But for me, as with Ambrosia, I have to know that we would work towards a new album in the style of Asia. Half the song-writing team is still there with Geoff, and he is fantastic to work with. I have to know that the commitment to greatness is there to honour the name of John Wetton, and that the band is not just playing the old songs. For me, I believe my interest is gone. Asked too many times without a word afterwards. Do I think I would have fitted in? Asia was my favourite band after Yes. So I believe I could have done something really great with the three guys I have worked with before and whom I respect very deeply.
Thanks Robert! Third Impression carries on the great musical tradition of 3, but it also adds some fantastic new elements to the mix. It is easily the most diverse of all of the 3 / 3.2 albums. Established fans are really going to enjoy it and it certainly deserves the attention of some previously uninitiated music fans as well. I wish you great success with the album!
Thank you Patrick. I am hoping that the path I took to move a little more towards what I may possibly do next album around, was a wise decision. You can never tell what the public wants to hear but you can count on me doing what I believe is true to me and to the music that I love. Your comments really made my day!

Featuring Robert Berry, Keith Emerson, and Carl Palmer, the band 3 released their debut album, To The Power of Three in 1988. It was met with a mixed response at the time, but has since developed a dedicated following. Thirty years later, Berry surprised many with the announcement of a follow up. That album, The Rules Have Changed was reviewed in 2018. Consisting of the compositions that he and Keith Emerson had written and began recording for a new 3 release, the album was deservedly well-received. Now, with Third Impression Berry sets forth to wrap-up the band's legacy in grand fashion.
It should be noted that 3.2 is essentially a Berry solo project, but you would never know it. There is a forceful band feel to this material, which is a testament to his talents. Keith Emerson's songwriting is limited to their final piece written together (Never), but his unmistakable keyboard style is prominently featured throughout this album's ten tracks. As on the previous 3.2 release, Berry does an excellent job of adding an adventurous new spirit to the band's original sound. To put it succinctly, this material is decidedly more proggy than the bulk of the 3 debut.
Yes, there is an accessibility to every song on Third Impression, but even the most pop-laden melody or chorus is countered with a blistering keyboard solo or a crunching bass line. The album opener, Top of the World, sets this tone right from the start. Sounding more rock-infused than before, this mini epic successfully packs a lot of musical depth into its fast-moving length.
What follows is an impressive series of strongly-penned, intricately-performed, prog/rock songs. From the blistering What Side You're On, to the anthemic Missing Piece and the musically cinematic Devil of Liverpool, the album is full of winning moments.
None more so than the bitter-sweet Fond Farewell, which feels like an effective closing chapter to the 3/3.2 story. Ultimately though, that honour is rightfully given to the previously mentioned Never. A rousing epic, full of classic Emerson riffs and solos, there could be no more perfect way to close the book on 3.2.
I will admit that when I heard of this album's release, I was a bit sceptical. My thought was, why continue, when there is limited Emerson material and again no Carl Palmer? I was absolutely wrong. Third Impression stands as a proud companion piece to the previous two releases. The nostalgia attached to the sound and style of this music dictates that it had to be a 3.2 album. Though inevitably, a lot of the dialogue will justifiably centre around Keith Emerson, the bulk of the credit goes to the impeccably talented Robert Berry. Beyond ensuring that his final works with Emerson would be heard, this release secures a trilogy of albums that validates 3 as a musical force of distinction.


For this hilarious examination of Bar Mitzvah culture of the 1970s and 1980s, I contributed a humor essay entitled "Confessions of a Waspy Jew: The Bar Mitzvah Years." The book features a delicious trove of photographic footage of this ancient rite of passage, alongside essays on this most embarrassing of Semitic experiences.
I contributed a humor essay for this anthology of college stories, published by Random House. My essay recalls a date gone awry with an intelligent comparative lit major who, at the end of our evening, proclaimed that I "wasn't going to talk her into bed." Was this my intention? Did this experience define my entire collegiate existence? And how sorry was the state of culture in the late 1980s the college men had to rely on the saccharine sounds of George Michael to woo women? Read the book and find out.

The Australian legal market suffered its fourth consecutive year of declining demand, according to a new report issued by Peer Monitor and Melbourne Law School, "2016 Australia: State of the Legal Market," based on financial data drawn from the Australian offices of 21 major law firms.
Demand for Australian firms declined an average of 1.9% across firms within Peer Monitor in FY 2016, although the pullback was slightly smaller than the 2.0% drop in FY 2015. However, the law market continues to face financial hardship, with only approximately one-third of firms reporting revenue and profit growth in FY 2016.
This comes at a time when demand for U.S. large law firms has been largely flat according to Peer Monitor.

Meet some of South Australia's leading young engineers
by Helen Hawkes
in Leadership
Force Forty Engineers participant Steve Pavloudis MIEAust CPEng is Director of Engineering and Capital Projects for SA's Women's and Children's Health Network.
Young South Australian engineers will help develop a modern engineering culture and drive industry change as part of an aspirational group created by Engineers Australia.
Force Forty Engineers will provide an opportunity for those involved to advance their leadership credentials by connecting with key decision makers at six workshops this year.
It will also support the creation of a peer network and encourage discussion around how engineering is crucial to a successful future in key areas, ranging from space and artificial intelligence to biotech and advanced manufacturing.
Kaitlin Matthews MIEAust.
In all of these industries, the SA Government believes the state has the potential to be the centre for advanced technology in Australia.
"Force Forty Engineers will be incredibly valuable to grow our networks and see what avenues engineering can lead us into," said Kaitlin Matthews MIEAust, Operations Manager SA/NT at Sims Limited, a global leader in metal recycling and electronics recovery.
"As engineers, we can get stuck on one path and fail to see that there is a world of options and opportunities if we know where to look."
Matthews is chair of Engineers Australia's Women in Engineering SA community, and has a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the University of Queensland.
Early in her career, she worked for a metallurgical coal company, before moving into recycling in 2015.
Her current role is fuelled by a keen interest in reducing the footprint of our waste.
"I find it rewarding to be on the frontline witnessing advancing technologies that will, hopefully, achieve a world without waste," Matthews said.
"We need to support the research and development that is required to create a circular economy and SA would be a great base to focus that advancement."

Breaking stereotypes and building automation
Manager of Project Engineering for BHP, Tasnim Al-Kufaishi MIEAust, said she hoped being involved in the group of 40 young leaders would give her the opportunity to promote engineers as professionals who do impactful work.
"I feel that engineers are very much under-recognised and it is a great opportunity to break down stereotypes of what they do," said the young engineer, who transitioned into the mining and resources industry after 13 years in the electricity industry.
As Head of Network and Emergency Management for SA Power Networks, she led and managed emergency responses to some of the largest events and operational incidents in Australian history, including SA's state blackout event in 2016, bushfires and large-scale storms.
In her current role, Al-Kufaishi, who has a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical and Mechatronic Engineering and a Masters of Business Administration from the University of South Australia, helps ensure efficient and sustainable multi-million dollar projects are delivered.
"While the electricity industry has been mature in applying automation and new technologies, mining presents a very exciting opportunity to implement new technologies and the use of robotics to drive efficiency," she said.
Being passionate about renewable energy, Al-Kufaishi also hopes to increase awareness of mineral mining and its importance to ensuring a sustainable future.
Tasnim Al-Kufaishi MIEAust wants to increase awareness of mineral mining.
A new generation of problem solvers
The belief that engineers will help transform multiple industries through automation is shared by Chartered engineer and Director of Engineering and Capital Projects for the Women's and Children's Health Network (WCHN), Steve Pavloudis MIEAust CPEng.
Pavloudis oversees the WCHN engineering department, including the $50 million sustainable upgrade project, and said engineers will increasingly use AI-powered technologies to create smarter, more functional buildings.
"It all comes down to problem solving," said Pavloudis, who has a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering from the University of Adelaide and worked as a Field Engineer at energy technology company Baker Hughes, before gaining experience in the construction industry as a building services engineer at Lucid Consulting.
"Innovation, whether that's recognising who or how many people enter a building, or gathering data to understand daily patterns within buildings to optimise 'smart' air conditioning, is increasingly just one element of what engineers do," he said.
Pavloudis, whose brother is a petroleum engineer, has been interested in engineering since he was a student. In turn, he led the development of Lucid Consulting's graduate programs both for new starters and those in their first three years.
"With Force Forty we are helping build a community and ethos that will drive the next generation, who are the future of engineering," he said.
Going forward, Pavloudis believes engineers not only need to diversify their skillset and network, but also develop soft skills.
"Engineers need to be able to communicate complex ideas to those who are not experts in the field," he said.
"With Force Forty we are helping build a community and ethos that will drive the next generation, who are the future of engineering."
Steve Pavloudis MIEAust CPEng
Growing careers and solutions
For Al-Kufaishi, who is also a member of Engineers Without Borders, engineering was in the blood — her mother was an electrical and mechatronic engineer and her father an electrical and electronics engineer.
"I was curious at a young age about dismantling gadgets, reassembling and, sometimes, breaking them," she said.
To female engineers she says: "Stop telling yourself that you're not adding value, or don't deserve career progression. "
Matthews originally studied music, drama, dancing and singing at school but did well in physics after her mother suggested she take science.
She suggests young engineers stick with the profession, even though engineering involves a lot of hard work, long hours and dedication.
"Engineers play a big role in promoting research, science and development and the huge part it will play in our continued survival and ability to grow," she said.
Pavloudis agreed the engineering environment can be a high-pressure one, especially in the face of a constantly changing global landscape.
"Being malleable is key, and young engineers should never be too proud to obtain mentors and support from other engineers," he said.
The Force Forty Engineers Group is an offshoot of the SA Government's Force Forty program, which will help to develop a strategy to attract young entrepreneurs to the state.

This variety got its name from the second governor Alfonso de Albuquerque who strengthens the Portugal empire in India.
It is believed that approximately 250 years ago, a lame man had grown this variety. So its name got it from that lame man.
In a Dasheri village near Lucknow, this variety was first grown. So, it got its name from that village and you will be shocked to know that it's the first tree is alive till today.
It is believed that when Sher Shah Suri won the fight of chaunsa which is near Patna. That why the name came from.
Gulab Khas name got its name from the pink color and the fragrance of rose.
This mango variety has a light white shade. So it is called "Safeda".
In this mango variety, apart from the green color, it is the red color that can be seen. So it is called "Sinduri".
Hathi Jhool is quite heavy in weight (about 3kgs). It seems like the elephants are swinging on trees. That's why it is called "Hathi Jhool".
This peel of this variety is the same color as "Kesar" which is mainly found in Gujarat. That's why they are called "Kesar".

A BRITON has been arrested in Malaga in connection to UK drugs bust.
The 56 year old was held on a European Arrest Warrant in Sedella and is thought to have already appeared before an extradition judge in Madrid.
Olive Press sources claim the man arrested is Anthony Walker from Yorkshire.
He was wanted in connection with the seizure of more than three and a half tonnes of cannabis risen.
It was found in a furniture van that had been travelling from Malaga to Essex.
A police statement read: "Police have arrested a 56-year-old British man on foot of a European Arrest Warrant for drugs trafficking.
He was held after being tracked down to his home in Sedella.
The detainee allegedly formed part of the organisation behind it and hired the vehicle."A court in St Albans issued an arrest warrant on November 19 last year for a class B drugs trafficking offence which is punishable by a prison sentence of up to 14 years."It is not yet known if he will be extradited.
