Today Anthem Records re-activated their 50th anniversary global campaign for icon José Feliciano's bilingual classic,"Feliz Navidad". The celebration kicks off with the reimagined re-recording of the holiday smash titled "Feliz Navidad 50th Anniversary (FN50)" available now on all DSPs. You can listen to the track HERE. A shorter radio version is available for fans via their local radio station.
Produced by Grammy award-winning international producer, Rudy Pérez, José and 30 artists and celebrities from around the world remotely joined forces last year to create this special celebratory track of his timeless holiday classic. See below for the full star-studded list of guest artists and celebrities. Last year, the reimagined track was released as an Amazon Original that was exclusively available on Amazon Music but today, "Feliz Navidad 50th Anniversary (FN50)" is available everywhere music is sold. You can view the first-ever music video for FN50 featuring all of the global artists HERE.
The roster of artists performing (in order of first appearance) on "Feliz Navidad 50th Anniversary (FN50)" include: José Feliciano, CNCO, Isabela Merced, Shaggy, Jon Secada, Jason Mraz, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Rachael Ray, Gloria Gaynor, Big & Rich, Michael Bolton, La India, Frankie J., Julio Iglesias Jr., Bertin Osborne, Pablo Montero, El Dasa, Nikki Vianna, Adam Irigoyen, Gord Bamford, Leo Dan, Sam Moore, and Styx.
On the wide release, José Feliciano said: "I enjoyed all of the performances on FN50 because of the fact that I was surprised that I would get so many stars in their own right coming together to honor my song."
Rudy Perez added, "I had the fantastic honor and privilege to produce the reimagined 50th anniversary version of "Feliz Navidad" with my dear friend, the legendary José Feliciano, as well as a diverse international list of amazing artists from nine countries and three continents during some of the most difficult times in our lives with everyone in lockdown. In the face of so many hurdles caused by the pandemic, everyone stepped up and made this iconic song have new life and new meaning! What a blessing it was to feel the joy and spirit of Christmas on this FN50 version adorned by the voices of some of music's most talented artists."
John Titta, ASCAP Executive Vice President of membership and co-producer on FN50 concluded, "José Feliciano's Feliz Navidad has been bringing musical joy to the world for the past 50 years. It is a holiday standard that will live forever."
Anthem Entertainment CEO Helen Murphy adds, "FN50 is a modern interpretation of the most famous bilingual Christmas classic. The pure joy of the recording resonates equally with young and old and this track mixes artists of all ages and genres together to celebrate the importance of this song to the world. FN50 takes it to a whole new level."
Last year, the original "Feliz Navidad" track hit the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 Chart for the first time in 50 years, peaking at #6 and Feliciano was featured on CBS Sunday Morning, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Good Morning America and NPR. The milestone occasion was marked with a global campaign that included the first ever animated video available and new hardcover editions of the illustrated children's book "José Feliciano's "Feliz Navidad 50th Anniversary", available in English and Spanish [HERE]. The video, based on the book, takes readers through the journey of three children; Marie from Paris, Xavier from New York, and Camila from Puerto Rico. In anticipation of Christmas Day, the children follow the music of superhero José Feliciano singing "Feliz Navidad" to people gathering from all over to hear the true meaning of Christmas. Additionally, there was the launch of the official Feliz Navidad 50th Amazon Storefront featuring the exclusive FN50 branded merchandise line available now, and last December, Feliciano put on a global, Feliz Navidad 50th (FN50) Anniversary Livestream Concert.
Feliciano has had a busy 2021 with more to come. Last month, he released his first ever song collaboration multi-Grammy winning, global music icon Dolly Parton, titled "Eagle When She Flies". Earlier this year, he was also featured on Spanish rapper C.Tangana's track "UnVeneno." José's most recent album, Behind This Guitar was released last year on Anthem Records, and joins his 60-plus albums in an incredible discography, solidifying José's revered standing with critics and fans alike.
ABOUT "FELIZ NAVIDAD"
Written and performed by José Feliciano, "Feliz Navidad" is one of the best-selling holiday songs of all time. The evergreen song was originally recorded with the late producer Rick Jarrard in October 1970 and released one month later in November 1970 on RCA Records. Surprisingly, the song first hit the charts in 1998 on Billboard's Hot 100, and then charted again in 2017, an astounding 47 years after its original release. After it landed on the Hot 100 again in 2019, Forbes declared it's the "gift that keeps on giving." ASCAP recognized "Feliz Navidad" as one of the top 25 most played and recorded Christmas songs around the world. A seemingly endless list of artists across all genres has covered the iconic song, including Céline Dion, Garth Brooks, Chicago, The Three Tenors, Michael Bublé featuring Thalia, Gwen Stefani & Mon Laferte, Kacey Musgraves, and many more. "Without my friend Rick at my side, we might not have had 'Feliz Navidad'," said Feliciano.

The Puerto Rican-born artist is known for his many international hits, including his rendition of The Doors' "Light My Fire", "Che Sarà," "La Copa Rota," "Por Qué Te Tengo Que Olvidar?" the theme song, "Chico and The Man" from the hit television show, and his rendition of "California Dreamin'" which was featured in Quentin Tarantino's acclaimed film, , Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, and went on to be one of the most streamed tracks from its soundtrack.

Q: Open different new view controllers by clicking different elements in table view cell - Swift 3 My table view cell displays an entity with two different button elements. I want to be able to launch a view controller that displays a selection of food items if I click on the first button and a different view controller that displays a selection of beverages when I click on the second button.
I am able to correctly pass the data to the new view controllers, but can't seem to dismiss the current view and load the new one. My code is like this:
In the table view cell
    @IBAction func foodBtnPressed(_ sender: Any) {
    print("foodBtn pressed")
    print("customer is \(customer?.name)")
    vc.loadChooserScreen(toChoose: "Food", forCustomer: customer!)
}

@IBAction func beverageBtnPressed(_ sender: UIButton) {
    print("beverageBtn pressed")
    print("customer is \(customer?.name)")
    vc.loadChooserScreen(toChoose: "Beverage", forCustomer: customer!)
}

In the table view controller
    func loadChooserScreen(toChoose: String, forCustomer: Customer) {
    print("Choose \(toChoose)")
    print("For \(forCustomer.name)")

    if toChoose == "Food" {
        let foodVC = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "foodMenu") as? FoodVC
            foodVC?.loadCustomerToEdit(customer: forCustomer)
            dismissVC(sender: Any.self)
     }

    else if toChoose == "Beverage" {
        let beverageVC = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "beverageMenu") as? BeverageVC
        beverageVC?.loadCustomerToEdit(customer: forCustomer)
        dismissVC(sender: Any.self)
    }

    else {
        // do nothing
    }

}
    func dismissVC(sender: Any) {
    print("Reached dismissVC function in selectionMenu")
    dismiss(animated: true, completion: {
    self.delegate!.dismissViewController()
    })
}

In this view controller I also have the following protocol
protocol OrderVCProtocol {
func dismissViewController()
}

and have defined
var delegate: OrderVCProtocol!

In my root view controller
    func dismissViewController() {
    print("Reached dismissViewController function in rootView")
    if let foodVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "foodMenu") {
        self.present(foodVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

    if let beverageVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "beverageMenu") {
        self.present(beverageVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

And the delegate is set when the table view controller is called here
    @IBAction func loadOrderView(_ sender: Any) {
    let orderVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "orderView") as! OrderVC
    orderVC.delegate = self
    self.present(orderVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Within my target view controllers I have the following function
func loadCustomerToEdit(customer: Customer) {
    self.customerToEdit = customer
    print("IN FoodVC THE CUSTOMER TO EDIT IS \(self.customerToEdit.name)")
}

and a corresponding one in the BeverageVC.
When I run the app, no errors are thrown and I get the following sample output in the console from my print statements:

foodBtn pressed
customer is Optional("John")
Choose Food
For Optional("John")
IN FoodVC THE CUSTOMER TO EDIT IS Optional("John")
Reached dismissVC function in selectionMenu

and a corresponding response if the beverage button is clicked.
Then nothing happens. So I know the data is correctly being passed to the new view controllers but I don't know how to dismiss the current screen and display the new one with the choices.
I hope my question is clear enough? I'm not sure what's wrong, but the console output clearly shows that the code runs fine until it tries to dismiss the current view.
EDITED TO ADD:
If I modify my dismissVC function in my tableview controller like this:
func dismissVC(sender: Any) {
print("Reached dismissVC function in selectionMenu")
delegate.dismissViewController()
}

the console view now throws

fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

And if I modify it again to the following, It goes back to throwing no errors and getting stuck at the same place (i.e. printing the line "Stuck where delegate dismisses view"), showing that the delegate is still nil... but why is it nil when I'd set it in the root view and loaded it in this view?
func dismissVC(sender: Any) {
print("Reached dismissVC function in selectionMenu")
if delegate != nil {
    delegate?.dismissViewController()
    } else {
print("Stuck where delegate dismisses view")
}

A: I have solved my problem by implementing notifications via notification centre and delegates. Firstly, in my AppDelegate file I added this line at the bottom
let notifyCnt = NotificationCenter.default

Next, I modified my tableview cell functions to this
@IBAction func foodBtnPressed(_ sender: Any) {
notifyCnt.post(name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "toChoose"), object: nil, userInfo: ["toChoose": "Food", "forCustomer": customer])
}

@IBAction func beverageBtnPressed(_ sender: UIButton) {
    notifyCnt.post(name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "toChoose"), object: nil, userInfo: ["toChoose": "Beverage", "forCustomer": customer])
}

Then, in the tableview controller I modified it to this:
protocol ChooserViewDelegate: class {
func loadChooserView(choice: String, forCustomer: Customer)
}

and defined
weak var delegate: ChooserViewDelegate?

and added this within my ViewDidLoad section
notifyCnt.addObserver(forName: Notification.Name(rawValue: "toChoose"), object: nil, queue: nil, using: loadChooserScreen)

and finally modified my chooser function like so:
func loadChooserScreen(notification: Notification) {

    guard let userInfo = notification.userInfo,
        let toChoose = userInfo["toChoose"] as? String,
        let planToEdit = userInfo["customer"] as? Customer else {
            print("No userInfo found in notification")
            return
    }
    delegate?.loadChooserView(choice: toChoose, forCustomer: customer)
}

Then in my root view controller I have the following to replace what I had earlier:
/*Conform to ChooserViewDelegate Protocol */
func loadChooserView(choice: String, forCustomer: Customer) {
  self.customer = forCustomer
  dismiss(animated: false, completion: {
    if choice == "Food" {
      self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "food", sender: self.customer)
      }
    if choice == "Beverage" {
      self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "beverage", sender: self.customer)
      }
  })
}

and I send over the data via prepareForSegue:
    override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
    if segue.identifier == "food" {
        if let foodVC = segue.destination as? FoodVC {
            storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "food")
            foodVC.customerToEdit = self.customerToEdit
            foodVC.delegate = self
        }
    }

    if segue.identifier == "beverage" {
        if let beverageVC = segue.destination as? BeverageVC {
            storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "beverage")
            beverageVC.customerToEdit = self.customerToEdit
            beverageVC.delegate = self
        }
    }
}

So now everything loads and views correctly :)

45 percent of young people see pollution as a problem
The majority of 18 to 24-year-olds believe that things are heading in the right direction in the Netherlands. They do not consider social issues such as crime, a multicultural society, population density and mentality in the Netherlands to be a major problem. Environmental pollution, on the other hand, is relatively often seen as a major problem. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this on the basis of the 2019 Annual Report of the National Youth Monitor.
Young people and families | 29-11-2019 | 16:11
The Annual Report Youth Monitor 2019 Summary presents an outline of the life situation of Dutch youth at both national and local level. At local level, a description of youth in the Caribbean Netherlands is included.
Mostly working parents in the Caribbean Netherlands
In 2018, most of the children living at home in the Caribbean Netherlands had working parents. Of the nearly 5.2 thousand children up to the age of 25 living at home on Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba, 92 percent have at least one working parent.
4 in 10 young people interested in politics
Young people aged 15 to 17 years in the Netherlands say they have little interest in politics. Once they are entitled to vote when they turn 18, they do start to find politics more interesting. At the same time, young people place a great deal of faith in politicians, more so than the older generations.
Health and welfare | 15-04-2019 | 13:04
Both studying and working young people leave home later
In 2017, the average age of young people leaving the parental home was 23.5 years, versus 22.8 years in 2012. The shift was strongest among students, who in 2016 started living independently on average one year later than in 2012. Working young people moved out of home 0.7 years later.
Annual Report 2014 - Summary
This summary presents the main results of the Annual Report 2014, which is based on information from the National Youth Monitor website.
10 percent of 18-24 year-olds who smoke are heavy smokers
Nearly one in three 18-24 year-olds smoke, and one in five of this age group are overweight. At the same time, nearly 91 percent report their own health as good or very good. Young people who smoke and those who are overweight are less positive about their health than those who do not smoke and those who are not overweight.
More than 100 thousand children in youth care
In 2012, 103 thousand young people (approximately 3 percent) received youth care. Amsterdam has the highest number of children in youth care, but the highest proportion of children in youth care was recorded in the municipality of Kerkrade.
Most young people online with smartphone
If they are not at home, a smartphone is by far the most popular mobile device for young people to access the internet. Once online, they spend most of their time playing video games, watching films and accessing social networks. They also buy tickets for upcoming events.
Number of school dropouts down in the Netherlands and the EU
The school dropout rate in the Netherlands was reduced in recent years to 8.8 percent in 2012. The rate across the EU was also gradually reduced. The reduction of school dropouts is high on the national and international policy agenda.

The making of a global economic player? An appraisal of South Korea's role in Myanmar

Myanmar(Asia and Pacific)
Economy < Trade
Economy < Economic Conditions
Suddenly and unexpectedly, after several decades as Asia's backwater and basket case of international development, Myanmar was thrust to the center stage of international attention in 2011. The country's political opening has paved the way for greater engagement by international players, old and new. South Korea and the United States are no exception, with Korea doubling its development assistance, trade, and investment in the country in less than five years. Myanmar serves as an excellent vantage point to observe Korea's evolving role in international affairs, especially in terms of its Asian engagement. Pragmatism drives the relationship, with Nay Pyi Taw trying to diversify its foreign policy and attract more investment, while Seoul seeks to expand foreign economic relations, extend the domestic market, and secure access to new resources.

Q: How to replace a string in a SQL Server Table Column I have a table (SQL Sever) which references paths (UNC or otherwise), but now the path is going to change.
In the path column, I have many records and I need to change just a portion of the path, but not the entire path. And I need to change the same string to the new one, in every record.
How can I do this with a simple update?

A: It's this easy:
update my_table
set path = replace(path, 'oldstring', 'newstring')

A: select replace(ImagePath, '~/', '../') as NewImagePath from tblMyTable

where "ImagePath" is my column Name. "NewImagePath" is temporery
  column Name insted of "ImagePath" "~/" is my current string.(old
  string) "../" is my requried string.(new string)
  "tblMyTable" is my table in database.

A: you need to replace path with the help of replace function.
update table_name set column_name = replace(column_name, 'oldstring', 'newstring')

here column_name refers to that column which you want to change.
Hope it will work.

A: If target column type is other than varchar/nvarchar like text, we need to cast the column value as string and then convert it as:
update URL_TABLE
set Parameters = REPLACE ( cast(Parameters as varchar(max)), 'india', 'bharat')
where URL_ID='150721_013359670'

A: I tried the above but it did not yield the correct result. The following one does:
update table
set path = replace(path, 'oldstring', 'newstring') where path = 'oldstring'

A: UPDATE CustomReports_Ta
SET vchFilter = REPLACE(CAST(vchFilter AS nvarchar(max)), '\\Ingl-report\Templates', 'C:\Customer_Templates')
where CAST(vchFilter AS nvarchar(max)) LIKE '%\\Ingl-report\Templates%'

Without the CAST function I got an error
Argument data type ntext is invalid for argument 1 of replace function.

A: UPDATE [table]
SET [column] = REPLACE([column], '/foo/', '/bar/')

A: You can use this query
update table_name set column_name = replace (column_name , 'oldstring' ,'newstring') where column_name like 'oldstring%'

A: all answers are great but I just want to give you a good example
select replace('this value from table', 'table',  'table but updated')

this SQL statement will replace the existence of the word "table"
(second parameter) inside the given statement(first parameter) with the third parameter
the initial value is this value from table but after executing replace function it will be this value from table but updated
and here is a real example
UPDATE publication
SET doi = replace(doi, '10.7440/perifrasis', '10.25025/perifrasis')
WHERE doi like '10.7440/perifrasis%'

for example if we have this value
10.7440/perifrasis.2010.1.issue-1

it will become
10.25025/perifrasis.2010.1.issue-1

hope this gives you better visualization

A: You also can replace large text for email template at run time, here is an simple example for that.
DECLARE @xml NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @xml = CAST((SELECT [column] AS 'td','',
        ,[StartDate] AS 'td'
         FROM [table]
         FOR XML PATH('tr'), ELEMENTS ) AS NVARCHAR(MAX))
select REPLACE((EmailTemplate), '[@xml]', @xml) as Newtemplate
FROM [dbo].[template] where id = 1

Kasich: Trump's inaugural speech 'wasn't helpful' for US
By Mark Hensch - 05/02/17 10:01 AM EDT
Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) isn't letting up on his criticism of President Trump, saying in a new interview that Trump's inaugural speech "wasn't helpful for the country."
"It was a very unusual speech," he told Politico's "Off Message" podcast, which was published Tuesday. "And it wasn't helpful for the country."
"It just wasn't good," added Kasich, who competed against Trump for the GOP's 2016 presidential nomination and is currently on a book tour.
Kasich added that he would remain in the debate over the GOP's future
"I have a right to try to define Republicanism and conservatism as much as anybody else and, you know, I think there's a little struggle right now and I think the party doesn't quite know where it's going."
Kasich suspended his White House run in May 2016, clearing Trump's path to the Republican presidential nomination.
Trump secured the GOP nod last July en route to defeating Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonRep. John Katko: Why I became the first Republican lawmaker to support impeachment Can we protect our country — from our rulers, and ourselves? For Joe Biden, an experienced foreign policy team MORE in November.
The incoming president then vowed to halt "American carnage" during his inauguration in January.
"This American carnage stops right here and stops right now," Trump said in Washington. "From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. From this moment on, it's going to be America first."
Trump vowed to halt radical Islamic terrorism during his address, pledging to "eradicate it completely from the face of the Earth."
The new president also promised to tackle "the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential."

Content moves at Hong Kong's South China Morning Post will see stories shared with India's Times Group, while a new unit has been set up to help advertisers with content.
In a new strategic partnership - the first of its kind by SCMP - the Times Bridge investments and partnerships arm of India's Times Group will share content with Times using select items from SCMP and acting as its primary partner in India for content syndication.
As it expands from being Hong Kong's "paper of record" to a global media company, SCMP has added three digital media platforms - Abacus, Inkstone and Goldthread - and entered into partnerships with key media around the globe. The partnership with Times bolsters expansion into southeast Asia with new hires and a China Conference to be held in Kuala Lumpur this month.
SCMP chief executive Gary Liu says India is "a natural market" for SCMP. "This partnership will give Times of India readers further insight into China and will continue to expand SCMP's global reach."
Morning Studio is a dedicated branded content team within SCMP's creative arm, its launch coming on the same day that SCMP unveils a new homepage with AI-powered personalised settings.
General manager of advertising & marketing solutions Romanus Ng sees the unit as the "capstone of this grand platform", connecting readers and advertisers around the globe.


Even celebrities aren't immune to bad dates — just ask Selena Gomez. The "Wolves" singer happily helped participate in giving ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas some grief about their past relationship.
Jonas, 25, recently played a game of "Heart Rate Monitor" on BBC Radio 1's Breakfast Show. Basically, host Nick Grimshaw tried to get the singer's heart pounding with a little help from his famous friends — and former flame.
The Disney Channel stars dated in 2008, the same time that Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift were seeing each other. It seems that Nick knew exactly what Gomez was referring to.
"So this was at a time when my brothers and I were a boy band, and we were in Central Park and we were very private about our relationship. And she was unhappy that her Central Park experience was ruined by the fact that I walked about 20 feet away from her," he reminisced.
"Even though [the paparazzi] were taking pictures of us and obviously we were there together, it was like, 'It would be better if we stand about 25 feet apart.' So it ruined her Central Park experience, so her and Taylor Swift, who was dating my brother Joe, walked 25 feet behind us as we walked through the park by ourselves," Jonas concluded.
Naturally, that spiked the singer's heart rate a bit.
But hey, if there's anything good that came out of it, perhaps it's how close Swift and Gomez got during that time? Those Jonas brothers helped give us one of pop culture's most famous BFF pairs.

Measuring Our Pain (Louisville Repertory Company)
Posted by arts_louisville | Jul 15, 2020 | Theatre | 0
Heidi Platt & Joey Arena from the promotional trailer
By Jason Odell Williams
Directed by Angela Miller
A review by Keith Waits
You plan a production. You book the stage and select a cast, rehearse for weeks, only to have the rug pulled out from under you by a pandemic! Even more frustrating, it was intended to be the first production after a nearly four-year hiatus.
Many local companies faced this dilemma, and Louisville Repertory Company is the first to find a creative solution by delivering, with playwright Jason Odell Williams' permission, a radio adaptation of his play Church & State.
North Carolina Republican Senator Charles Whitmore (Joey Arena) is a champion of the 2nd amendment who struggles with his conscience after the school where his own children are students joins the ranks of school shootings. After visiting the blood-spattered classrooms and witnessing the traumatized survivors gathered outside the school, he publicly questions how God could allow such a thing. For a born-again, Conservative, southern politician, it is a troublesome admission.
His boozy wife, Sara (Heidi Platt, and campaign manager, Alex Klein (Anica Bell) try to keep him on the approved message, but the Senator's moral struggle is real and unshakable.
Williams' play starts off as a farce but surprises with a shift in tone as the repercussions from Whitmore's honesty become clear. The moral of the story is not exactly subtle, but it is distinct.
The plummy dialects of the Whitmore sounded consistent, and Joey Arena gives the Senator just a touch of Foghorn Leghorn in the first scenes but tracks the shift in tone with a renewed tenderness with Heidi Platt's rich characterization. Although the Senator is at the center, Platt nicely illustrates the growth in Sara and reveals that the maturing relationship between she and Alex subverts the easy cliche of female competitiveness. Anica Bell's calm, cool reserve contrasts effectively with the Carolinians.
Ryan Watson does yeoman work as several minor characters and by reading stage directions in hushed tones, and there is an emphasis on vocal performance that is to be expected but still feels satisfying. As much as we miss the physicality of the stage, the actors use their voices with nuanced observation, and since we don't see them, we hear them with great clarity.
Alex Bowman is responsible for the evocative sound design, which supports and augments the action without ever intruding. The quality of the audio recording is very good, and there is integrity in this presentation that easily makes it the best technical production among the various theatrical alternatives to live performances that are now arriving. By basically making this a radio play, director Angela D. Miller is able to realize the material fully enough, without the potential distractions of indifferent design work in streaming platforms.
At one point, Alex admits a fantasy of working in the White House alongside "Rob Lowe and Allison Janney" and that idealization of government service foreshadows an important aspect Williams' play. Church & State touches upon several hot button issues that are fundamental aspects of this extremely divisive political and social culture in America. I think we are entitled to a dream a little of public servants rediscovering a moral center.

Q: Open charge point protocol (OCPP) server implementation using Python Djago or Java Spring boot I am programming a a PoC of OCPP server which can communicate with an EV charger using OCPP protocol, in Python Django and Java Spring boot. I was using a OCPP python package given in the link here and I was able to create a OCPP center system using Python and make connections. My server should be able to have the method to list all connected chargers, but I could not find any documentation about this. Is this method available on the Python OCPP package here. If not, can anyone tell me how to implement this method?
Any help will be appreciated.

Q: Counter not working as expected
What I am supposed to do is that when J2 is pressed for the first time, it is supposed to start the counter and it should run from 0 - 9 and then back again. When J1 is pressed, the counter should reset to 0 and stay there until J2 is pressed again. However, when J2 is pressed again when the counter is running, the counter should stop at its current number. How can I do that? I am aware that when a logic high is passed to INA, the counter will stop its count and display its current number on the display. But how can I do that? I can only use 2 ICs, 1 NAND gate IC and 1 Or gate IC.
EDIT

A: Given the restrictions on what you can use, this sounds like a homework problem, so I won't give a full answer. You need to work this out on your own, and then ask a more specific question if you get stuck.
The key concept is that you need to have three operating modes, or "states" for the system overall:

*

*reset

*counting

*holding

The circuit you show has only a single flip-flop (the cross-coupled NAND gates) as a state variable, which means that there are only two states — reset and counting. You need to find a way to have a third state, typically by creating a second flip-flop (more NAND gates).
Part of the problem is that your existing FF is also debouncing your switches for you. If you want one of the switches to toggle between two of the states (counting and holding) on its own, you'll have to find a different way to debounce it, which complicates the design quite a bit, given the restrictions you're working under.
I hope this is enough of a hint to get you going.

Phaffans (deutsch früher Pfeffingen) ist eine französische Gemeinde im Département Territoire de Belfort in der Region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.

Geographie
Phaffans liegt auf 363 m, etwa sechs Kilometer ostnordöstlich der Stadt Belfort (Luftlinie). Das Dorf erstreckt sich im Norden der Burgundischen Pforte, auf dem Plateau südlich der Forêt de Roppe im Vorland der Vogesen, östlich der Bachläufe von Ermite und Autruche.

Die Fläche des  km² großen Gemeindegebiets umfasst einen Abschnitt der nur schwach reliefierten Landschaft im Bereich der Burgundischen Pforte (Trouée de Belfort). Der Hauptteil des Gebietes wird von einem Plateau eingenommen, das durchschnittlich auf 360 m liegt. Es ist überwiegend mit Acker- und Wiesland bedeckt, zeigt aber auch einige Waldflächen. Entwässert wird das Plateau durch die Ermite, die südlich des Dorfes in die Autruche mündet. Diese fließt durch eine mehr als 500 m breite Talaue nach Südosten und sorgt für die Entwässerung zur Bourbeuse und damit zur Allaine. Nach Osten erstreckt sich das Gemeindeareal über das Plateau, auf dem mit 381 m die höchste Erhebung von Phaffans erreicht wird, in einem schmalen Streifen in die Talmulde der Madeleine und in den nördlichen Teil der ausgedehnten Waldung Bois de Bessoncourt.

Nachbargemeinden von Phaffans sind Eguenigue, Menoncourt und Lacollonge im Norden, Fontaine im Osten, Bessoncourt im Süden sowie Denney und Roppe im Westen.

Geschichte
Das Gemeindegebiet von Phaffans war schon sehr früh besiedelt, was anhand von Ziegel- und Keramikfunden aus der gallorömischen Zeit nachgewiesen werden konnte. Erstmals urkundlich erwähnt wird Phaffans bereits im Jahr 792 unter dem Namen Pefferauga. Aus späterer Zeit sind die Namen Fafan und Faefen überliefert. Seit dem Hochmittelalter bildete Phaffans das Zentrum der Pfarrei Baroche, die vom Kloster Murbach abhängig war.

Zunächst im Einflussbereich der Herren von Montbéliard stehend, gelangte das Dorf Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts unter die Oberhoheit der Habsburger. Es gehörte zur Herrschaft Rougemont, doch hatten auch andere Herrschaften Besitz auf dem Gebiet. Während des Dreißigjährigen Krieges wurde Phaffans 1632 von schwedischen Truppen in Mitleidenschaft gezogen. Zusammen mit dem Sundgau kam das Dorf mit dem Westfälischen Frieden 1648 an die französische Krone. Seit 1793 gehörte Phaffans zum Département Haut-Rhin, verblieb jedoch 1871 als Teil des Territoire de Belfort im Gegensatz zum restlichen Elsass bei Frankreich. 1815 wurde das Dorf von den gegen Belfort vorrückenden österreichischen Truppen gebrandschatzt. Seit 1997 gehörte Phaffans zunächst zum Gemeindeverband Communauté de communes du Tilleul, der 2017 in der Communauté d'agglomération Grand Belfort aufging.

Sehenswürdigkeiten
Die Kirche Mariä Himmelfahrt (Église Notre-Dame de l'Assomption) wurde in zwei Phasen gebaut: Der Kirchturm stammt aus der Zeit um 1700, während das Schiff von 1726 bis 1735 im Barockstil errichtet wurde. Die Kirche besitzt eine reiche Ausstattung (siehe: Liste der Monuments historiques in Phaffans), darunter Altäre aus dem 17. Jahrhundert sowie Statuen und eine Kanzel aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. Das Pfarrhaus wurde 1701 errichtet.

Bevölkerung

Mit  Einwohnern () gehört Phaffans zu den kleinen Gemeinden des Départements Territoire de Belfort. Nachdem die Einwohnerzahl in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts klar abgenommen hatte (1896 wurden noch 200 Personen gezählt), wurde von 1968 bis 1975 ein kräftiges Bevölkerungswachstum verzeichnet. Danach verblieb die Einwohnerzahl auf annähernd konstantem Niveau, um in jüngerer Zeit wieder deutlich anzusteigen.

Wirtschaft und Infrastruktur
Phaffans war bis weit ins 20. Jahrhundert hinein ein vorwiegend durch die Landwirtschaft (Ackerbau, Obstbau und Viehzucht) geprägtes Dorf. Die Wasserkraft der Ermite und der Autruche wurde früher für den Betrieb von Mühlen genutzt. Daneben gibt es heute verschiedene Betriebe des Kleingewerbes. Mittlerweile hat sich das Dorf zu einer Wohngemeinde gewandelt. Viele Erwerbstätige sind auch Wegpendler, die in der Agglomeration Belfort ihrer Arbeit nachgehen.

Die Ortschaft ist verkehrstechnisch gut erschlossen. Sie liegt an einer Departementsstraße, die von Bessoncourt nach Eguenigue führt. Der nächste Anschluss an die Autobahn A36, welche das Gemeindegebiet durchquert, befindet sich in einer Entfernung von ungefähr fünf Kilometern. Weitere Straßenverbindungen bestehen mit Denney, Lacollonge und Roppe.

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) describes a persistent pattern of inattention more frequent and severe than is typically observed in individuals of a comparable level of development. Diagnosis of ADD should only be given by a medical practitioner or psychologist.
Several of these features must coexist for a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).
NDD is not the primary cause in all children given these diagnoses. However, it can be an underlying factor in many.


I have the typical lowering front springs (pretty sure these were from Moss) so 330 pound that typically lower the car about 1 inch. So shooting for 1 degree of negative camber in front. I have the adjustable bracket for the lower wishbone for the rear, so it has three camber settings, so again, shooting for 1 degree of negative rear camber. I have it currently bolted to the lowest possible setting so that gives the static suspension the most negative camper, but will measure it when the rear wheels are sitting on the alignment stands.
First thing I discovered is I have about 2 inches of toe out :-) that would have made for an interesting first test drive....... I'll get this set to 1/16 toe in and then check my camber before moving to the front.
Yeah, but turn-in and rotation on autoX courses should be GREAT!!!
Got the toe set to 1/16 inch of toe-in. Camber is showing 1 degree negative on both sides so no adjustments needed, so I'll tight the lock nuts and start on the front.
So one year ago, I sold my Thunderbird-Spitfire challenge car and started on my street version. I am happy to say a year later, it is almost ready to drive. It is now in the final "sorting" stages and I am trying to do this right and take my time now that the summer is winding down. While it did not make it to Carlisle or TRF this year, it has come together quite nicely and I am very pleased with the results. Lots of tuning, adjusting and improvements to make along the way, but this car has come a long way in a year!
It looks like I will need to roll the top of the front fender edges (have 3 degrees of negative camber in the front, and will need to bent the front valance edge outward, but wheels fit fine otherwise. I am also going to paint the lower portion of both doors black so that the black paint is a straight line from front to back valances. I will likely also paint a stripe or two in black on the hood and trunk lids or just paint the center of the hood black as the brown paint is weakest on the hood center section. Next steps before driving are to finish the brakes and fit the seats and center tunnel.
Nice! That thing sits very "right" on those wheels and tires.
Instead of a paint stripe on the hood, consider some quality vinyl. That way you can still return to the patina' paint if you want. And vinyl's cheap in 1'x5' rolls. Just a thought.
This was the first thought that jumped into my mind. Also, the vinyl offers some stone protection.
Agreed. Remember the title of this build thread is "Rat Rod ..... Spitfire....."
But I will definitely admit iI' biased. I love "survivor" paint cars.
Don't worry, no plans to paint the car in the coming years, just trying to preserve what is there. I also like the patina of the survivor paint and even all the dings and dents that tell the story of this car from 1972 until it's current form and return to the road in 2018.
The car has had all the rust cut out and I intended to keep it that way. So the bottom of the car was painted with rust inhibitor, bed liner and the bad parts cut out and welded with new metal. The only remaining rust is some small pits in the nose under the bonnet which I'll treat with rust inhibitor. But on the center of the bonnet, there is evidence of body work and lifting of a small piece of Bondo on the nose. That is where I would like to fix it and then paint a black stripe or center of the good in semi-gloss black, which like the rockers were painted after doing the required body work. The paint on the hood is crazed in the middle and this is the weakest paint on the car. I think the result will be keeping with the survivor look and last for many years in this form since the car will be in my garage.
Fixing my brake lines this week, so I can put in the rest of the interior and take it for it's first drive later this month!
So as is usually the case, cheap tools do a poor job and better tools do a much better job...... So after suffering through having all my bubble flairs leaking on my Spitfire, I decided that the cheap auto parts tool for making flairs was fine for the end points with a single flare, but I needed a much better tool. Summit to the rescue, proper tool arrived in two days.
I removed all the hard lines except for the main lines from the master cylinder front and rear and was able to add the bubble flares on the lines on the car. The rest were removed and the bubble flares were added easily. Highly recommend this tool if you need to run custom brake lines and need a quality flaring tool.
Bled the brakes, guess what.... no leaks!
So now that I have a running car with brakes, clutch, steering, alignment, lights, etc... guess that test drive is coming very soon. I am resisting the urge to just drop the car back down and take it for a quick spin as there are a few more things that really need to happen first. So I'll get the tunnel installed, carpet down and seats installed and cleanup a few more things and it should be on it's first trip under it's own power before the end of the month.
Awesome! Considering how wound up I am for the initial drive report, well... Nice work on buckling down on the details!
Wrt getting everything buttoned up before that first ride..... maybe I'm just a little more paranoid than you, but at very least I'd leave the tunnel cover off for a bit, just to have a peak at all that stuff you did while it's moving. When I did mine I didn't have to make any changes, but was nice to see clearances etc. and if something did bugger up, at least you don't have to pull that apart again.
It's got a turbo. Yes!
It has run on the stands, shifted gears so I know everything has clearance so feeling pretty confident in that department. Also feeling pretty good about the heat, the turbo downpipe is wrapped down to the transmission and the firewall is also protected. I might end up covering the tunnel with heat tape as well, not sure yet. There will be steel cover over the tail of the transmission as well, with the original boot from the old cardboard tunnel installed . Still things to work out but also anxious for that first drive as you can probably imagine.
Yes, Exotruck, it does indeed have a turbo! Small but should spool up quickly and give me a nice power and torque increase over the 140 HP of the stock engine. Fully programable ECU will let me tune it as needed, will be running 8-10 pounds of boost max.
i'm going to be (kinda) in your neighborhood the weekend of Oct 13-14. visiting family in Rohrersville with a side trip to Silver Spring. any chance i can see this beast in person?
That would be great, I'll send you an IM with my cell number, we may be at the Maryland game on the 13th but home after the game and the 14th would be fine.
I can't make out how you attached that to the turrets? any chance of an image of that?
I had cut the original turrets when I made the mods to fit the Miata engine and did the same modification you did to clear the alternator. So I had to drill two new holes to bolt it on. The turrets are double thick where the motor mounts are, so it was the strongest place to mount the brace. I did not take the bracket all the way to the suspension bolt but confident that this will do the job.
That'll work great, I've seen a few who didn't even bother with the brace at all.
I think it's a smart thing to do; seems the first thing the books say about improving handling is to stiffen the chassis. What you've done will be even stiffer than stock (no rubber engine mounts) so well done.
Took advantage of having Columbus day off today and worked on getting my interior and seats installed. Ran into trouble in one of the seat belt captive nuts, so ran a chaser through all the threads for the seat belts and seat tracks and used new bolts for all of it, so no other problems other than it was quite a hot day in the garage today. I was going to finish the interior by installing the center console, but needed to get bolts for it. I decided it was time to take this thing for a test drive instead, so I put the front wheels back on it, and did a final check of every thing. The interior will be a work in progress, but as you can see, if you are familiar with Spitfires, the center tunnel normally has a high section for the shifter. I cut this down and riveted aluminum over the holes and wrapped it all up in aluminum tape. I used an 1 inch wide weatherstrip seal for the bottom of the transmission tunnel and built a steel center tunnel for the end of the shifter. I have a boot and 5" chrome ring to screw to the tunnel when it comes in to cover the shifter. I sewed some scrap carpet into the original hole for the shifter and it is now a pocket for storage. I think it came put pretty good. The shifter location is really nice for driving.
So fired it up and ran out of the garage, no rattles, no rubbing, drives pretty nice for first time under it's own power in 30+ years! Steering is nice and tight, clutch and brakes are good, shifter is excellent. I ran down to the end my street and around the cul-de-sac and it promptly stalled out. I restarted it and drove it back to the driveway. Was low on gas, so I poured some in from the can and drive it again. Stalled again, same spot and had to wait for it to restart. Car is still running rich, so next steps will be to start working in the tuning.
Really happy that much of the normal "issues" seem to have been worked out. I took a lot of time to try to ensure that everything was correct, had proper clearances, etc... and that appears to have paid off. So now I need to work on the tuning, not sure if my throttle position sensor is good, so will be troubleshooting that next.
Woohoo! Congratulations! Running and driving!!!

Taylor Swift sends a sweet handwritten note to fan getting his PhD: click here to know more!
By Chaahat Girdhar
Chaahat Girdhar
Taylor Swift is celebrating a fan's achievement. Throughout the end of the week, one of the singer's greatest fans shared that Swift had sent him a sweet token. It was done in the wake of discovering that he was going to get his Ph.D., short for Doctor of Philosophy. The fan's name is Andrew Mooney(Andy).
Taylor Swift's message
"Andy, somebody revealed to me you're going to complete your Ph.D. I needed to praise you on this staggering achievement and to commend you for all the difficult work you've placed into our studies. This is EPIC!!" Swift, 30, wrote in the handwritten note.
"I perceived how strong you've been of my music throughout the long term and was so contacted. Thank you so much," she included. "I'm likewise so pleased with you for the courage you've appeared in your own life, deciding to live and cherish actually in any event, when it is difficult."
As the message found some conclusion, Swift wrote that even in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, it's essential to commend life's "extraordinary minutes." "I trust you're doing admirably in and among the disorder we're all surviving at the present time. During circumstances such as the present, I believe it's imperative to delight in the extraordinary minutes when we can, and this is a second worth celebrating. Sending you my adoration and all the best, Taylor," she wrote.
Andrew Mooney's post on Instagram
"Much obliged to you @taylorswift for setting aside the effort to write such a delightful message. You have been a motivation to me for numerous years and I can't express how much this means to me. You have transformed me," the fan captioned the post, trying to thank his companion for "getting this going and demonstrating that at any rate, I did one thing right", a gesture to Swift's 2017 melody Call It What You Want.
Notwithstanding the sweet note, Swift additionally incorporated various "gifts". It seemed to incorporate a copy of the cardigan she wears in her new music video for Cardigan. It was released around the same time as her most recent collection, Folklore.
About Taylor Swift
Taylor Alison Swift (born on December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter. Her story songwriting, which frequently revolves around her own life, has gotten far-reaching media inclusion.

Grateful Dead are one of the foremost names in psychedelic rock, a band who turned concerts into life-changing rites of passage.
Lengthy, excursive, lysergic fare, the band's gigs are now the stuff of legend. Largely on hiatus since the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995, the remaining members have agreed to reform for one final show.
Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, and Bob Weir will re-unite, performing alongside special guests Trey Anastasio, Jeff Chimenti and Bruce Hornsby.
Taking place on July 6th, the occasion will be beamed to over 250 cinemas across the UK and Ireland. A wildly ambitious concert venture, 'Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 years of Grateful Dead' will match an historic performance to sumptuous visuals.
Clash has a preview of the concert - check it out now.

Playing A Blinder: Paul Anderson Interviewed
"I do play a lot of darker characters, I am drawn to them..."
Live Report: Sheffield International Documentary Film Festival
In Conversation: Hong Chau


Here's a sign of the times: WPP is merging its fabled Wunderman and J. Walter Thompson agencies to create Wunderman Thompson, which will be "distinctively positioned" as a provider of "end-to-end solutions – through creative, data, commerce, consulting and technology services – at a global scale." Such combinations have been an industry trend for years. Healthy, yes. Distinctive, not so much.
Here's a more surprising finding: a survey from the SoDA digital agency trade group found that technologists outnumber marketers when it comes to owning digital strategy (45% tech vs 28% marketing), owning customer experience (39% tech vs. 23% marketing) and even picking digital agencies (47% tech vs 46% marketing). This is a big swing from last year, when agency selection was run by 66% marketers and just 28% technologists. Ordinarily a result like this would suggest that most survey respondents were tech people, but that wasn't the case here: 52% were C-level, 19% were in marketing and just 17% were tech execs. Much more here on digital agency trends if you're interested.
Doubtful that technologists are really in charge of CX? Maybe you're right: a CMO Council and IBM survey found that 61% said marketing owned customer experience strategy. Just 13% of respondents were CMOs while 61% were CEO, President, or COO. So less bias in that audience than you might expect. Only 20% said they had real-time access to all relevant customer data across the organization. Technology gaps were the most common obstacle to removing data silos (53%), although talent (48%) and time (45%) were close behind.


Nice job on the flesh tones. I like the touch of the red blood vessels on the eyes!
I like it, some of your other recent ones have been a little dark for me.
I've decided to always do Soft Light for studio images, there's not a shred of Color mode in this, except for the brass parts - outdoor parts will still be Color mode though, I feel it fits best.
We are thinking alike. I am using 95% Soft Light in studio and probably 70-80% Color for outdoor shots.
Great job on his face!

The Most Instagrammed Art of Frieze Week 2019
by Stephanie Eckardt
Works by Yayoi Kusama and Chris Ofili on view at Frieze New York 2019.
Courtesy of @camille_artblog
The avalanche of art making up Frieze Week 2019 may be different from that of years past, but that hasn't changed the fact that, as usual, the vast amount of it is overwhelming. Even if there weren't nine other fairs in the city that pop up along with it, that's especially true of its titular mainstay, Frieze New York. Luckily, it's also become a guarantee that those unwilling to take the ferry to and from Randall's Island for a closer look can get a virtual tour of the fair through those who had the stamina to wander the nearly 200 booths that make up its 2019 edition.
With the exception of Jenny Holzer's latest edition of her "Redaction Paintings," which tackled the Mueller Report, much of those exhibiting at this year's Frieze seemed to be playing it safe.The most exciting works were those that broke free of the booths, like a completely life-size recreation of a New York City bus that visitors were free to board for a closer look at the its many details, many of which were softer than they appear. Somehow, it blended right in with all of the other Instagrammable works on display; the only giveaway that the artists Red Grooms and Tom Burckhardt made it back in 1995 is a sign showing the cost of the fare, $1.25. (Ownership of the bus altogether, on the other hand, will cost you $550,000.)

Of course, it wouldn't be an art fair without some sort of reflective surface from Yayoi Kusama. The orbs that make up Narcissus Garden served as a welcome mat of sorts for those who entered the fair's north entrance, which also featured Chris Ofili's largest canvas to date. Galerie Lelong also chose to take up some floor space, in the form of a rainbow painted by Sarah Cain, which spanned the entirety of its booth.

P.P.O.W also played with the fair's format; there were practically no white walls in sight at the cash-only stand where Steve Keene was selling paintings he's been making on plywood at the fair for as little as $10—though purchases came with the price of wading through the constant hordes of those also looking to take home a piece of the fair for themselves. It was certainly this year's most affordable hit; works like Olivia Erlanger's three sculptures of mermaid tails trailing out of washing machines, on the other hand, cost $12,000 apiece.

Meanwhile, the European Fine Art Fair (TEFAF) had taken over the Park Avenue Armory, bringing many of the galleries who typically show at Frieze along with it. Some of the most exciting works could be found above the fair, like an amorphous pink sculpture by the artist Aljiosha hanging over the booths, and a custom neon installation by Frida Fjellman in the Moose Room, on the Armory's upper level. Of course, there was plenty to take in downstairs, too, including a sizable terracotta and raffia sculpture by Simone Leigh.

Last but not least, this year saw 1-54 make the leap from Brooklyn to Manhattan, bringing its namesake blend of works from the 54 countries that make up the Africa continent along with it. It's a testament to just how vibrant the works are that there, unlike practically every other fair, two-dimensional works were the biggest hits on Instagram, including paintings by Nirit Takele, Richard Mudariki, and Eddy Kamuanga Ilunga.

Right about now, the dabbing craze has taken over the map with everyone from sportscasters to school teachers getting (or trying to get) down with the new fad. And who do we have to thank? The Migos, according to dab lore. And they are back to reclaim their title. Today, the trio drops the video for their single "Look At My Dab."
The song originally appeared on the group's September mixtape Back To The Bando and has since gained popularity as the dance has become a global phenomenon. In the video, you get all the dabbing you can handle with a large ensemble of extras (read strippers) and rappers all dabbing their hearts out throughout the entirety of the treatment.
Now that Offset is home there is reason to celebrate. The third member of the crew was released from jail earlier this month after serving almost eight months on a probation violation stemming from an arrest back in April.
Now it's back to business. The group plans to drop their new album Young Rich N-ggas 2 in January 2016. They will also be embarking on a national Dab Tour that will circle the U.S., hitting cities like New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Boston and Detroit, starting in February. For those of you who are already sick of dabbing having dominion over pop culture, it looks like things have only really gotten started.

Up until 2002 the Java Kaffee shops were part of Hamburg's cityscape. Established in 1931, the company roasted coffee beans in Hamburg's former warehouse complex. Branches were mainly set up in Hamburg and northern Germany. In the 1990s, the Hertz family sold the Java Kaffee brand to MOST AG.
When MOST Schokolade was taken over by Roman Maria Koidl, the Java Kaffee brand went to the businessman as well. Koidl, who founded the first coffee shop chain in continental Europe in 1996, is planning to relaunch the old-established Hamburg brand.


This beautiful gemstone hails from the great state of Montana. It is characterized by translucent quartz (all the light-grey areas) accented with agate-like bands of black, brown, and orange. These stones are very durable even though they have been cut thin, so you can set them without backing to show off their translucent qualities. All of these pieces are polished on all sides.

This stunning pair is large, but extremely lightweight. They also would work as individual pendants..


Have you ever wondered what a $5 dollar slice of pizza tastes like? Yesterday, I went to Artichoke's Pizzeria in Park Slope, Brooklyn to find out if their pizza was really worth its price tag. The Margherita Pizza is about the size of both my hands combined, and this is their justification for their pricing! This slice is adorned with fresh mozzarella, basil, and dusted with parmesan cheese. Take one bite of this slice, and it goes downhill from there, and I mean literally. The weight of the cheese on this slice prevents the crust from living up to its full potential. It's a soggy cheesy mess! At this point, you're probably wondering, Did you try the Artichoke pizza? I did! It was so delicious that I devoured it before I could take a picture. The Artichoke pizza has a rich creamy sauce infused with artichoke on every bite. Its crust is thick and crispy. I would only return to this pizzeria for their artichoke pizza!
Where's your favorite place to purchase pizza?

Music was my first love
22/05/2016 /4 Comments/in English, Updates /by garmt
"Do you want the truth or something beautiful?", I ask my class of music 'students' one Friday evening. They do not know that this is a reference to Paloma Faith, so they opt for beautiful. Ok. Had they opted for truth, they would have watched a grainy, 24-year old clip of Tool, performing Sober in such an intense performance it would certainly have given them nightmares for a week. Beautiful is Jake Shimabukuro's ukelele rendition of While my guitar gently weeps. The version they get to hear is the best of all Jake's performances, but since it is not available online, you will have to make do with this one.
I selected some fine pieces of music for this group tonight, but I did not take the time to write explanations beforehand. This resulted in me playing them gorgeous smooth songs, and offering nothing more than short instructions at the end, barked gnomically through my English voice synthesizer. Which guitar player is that on Get Lucky, and how much royalties has he earned with one single guitar? Did you hear 1253? Do you recognise this song from just three notes of the bassline?
Which guitar player? Well? Come on, really? No way. I am humblified when Mark picks out Nile Rodgers, remarking in the 33-1/3rd second of the track that has nearly 380 million plays on youtube (and another 394 million on Spotify) how this reminds him of Chic. Nile Rodgers! I hadn't even heard of the guy before yesterday, when I stumbled upon him on the website of Daft Punk. Nile wrote pretty much every hit song in the eighties, using one single guitar appropriately named The Hitmaker. That guitar created $2 billion in royalties throughout the years. Ah, music trivia…
1253. Not just the year of Dogen's death, also a clue that the lyrics of Killer's lullaby are sung by a ghost, because c'mon, you can't expect a living human to sing "he used to do that to me, back in 1253" in a song that also talks about mobile phones. It's a real gem, this song, because you can just let it wash over you, rest on its ripples of sound layered upon sound, calm down in the smooth beat, get hypnotized by the monotonous voice of Maxi Jazz… Or you can get your curiosity piqued, and discover how many sounds you hear, and which are "real" (ie not created by an electronic device). Or, you dive into the lyrics, single puzzling lines at first, until you see the story, usually shaped as a poem.
Decyphering lyrics can be easy (say, any song by Jack Johnson – no decyphering required), almost easy (Jason Isbell, Eels, Joss Stone), almost difficult (Nick Cave, Gorillaz, NIN), actually quite insanely difficult (Wet Sand by RHCP, or, anything from Nevermind before you had internet: QED) or impossible (It's allright, Ma or All along the watchtower or, heck, anything Bob Dylan, really (I mean, "You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat / Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat", wtf), or anything Pink Floyd (except The Wall and Wish you were here)). When I do succeed at spelunking for meaning in songs it is so rewarding. You can discover beauty, innovation, wisdom or the sense that some feeling or mindstate you could never quite put your finger on has just been illustrated (respectively, Boy with a Coin, Black History Month, Hurt, Bad as Me).
I know one or two persons who can get all this from, say, paintings, or theatre. I tell you, there are entire galaxies of experience and meaning to discover in this world. One time, just after watching a play, someone remarked: "Of course, that was pretty clear from what he said about the dog." I stared quizically. "The dog. A metaphor for life itself. Pretty much any time a dog features in a play, it's a metaphor for life." I thought the dog was just a dog, like a cigar is always a cigar. To this day I still don't know if he was fucking with me, but regardless, it had profound impact on me. It was as if I had just learned that there was an entire layer of meaning to this world that just then became available to me, if only I could find the secret decoder ring that would explain all the metaphors for me. A bit like discovering that each time your parents s-p-e-l-l-e-d words it was so's you couldn't understand them, like. So, I never got good at interpreting or understanding plays, paintings, sculptures, etc, but I did get to enjoy the lyrics-aspect of music. A whole world's worth.
(update: turns out the guy wasn't shitting me, given that someone did a Ph.D. on the mongrel)
Time to answer the third question: just three notes of bassline, can you recognise the song? Let me take you to the place I got the question from. We're at the North Sea Jazz festival, dad and me and nurse. Marcus Miller is a jazz bass guitarist and he is priming the public: "So, yeah, we were doing this record, going for the sound of particular places, and then, Detroit. SoIsaidtomyself, Motown, the baddest baseline, let's do the song with the baddest baseline ever. Ima let you guess, I'll play three tones. Check it out." By the second tone, the audience, us included, begins to cheer. It's Papa was a Rolling Stone, and it's amazing how we all recognize it, you too, really, from just three tones. Powerful stuff, music. We really enjoy the festival, tasting bands left and right. We even stumble across Lady Gaga. The last artist we want to see is Benjamin Clementine (yes, that guy) and as he is not walking barefoot from Antwerp this year, he actually shows up and performs the living daylights out of us. My dad holds my hand throughout the whole set. It is the longest stretch of physical contact with him ever, and it feels good. I feel loved.
Powerful stuff, music. It runs through so many memories that it serves as great mnemonics, like a cord that strings moments together. Take Daft Punk, the guys that created Get Lucky. If I pull their cord, the first moment that pops up is just a few days ago. Paul and me enjoyed Contact together on my new speakers, our favorite track from the album. We know it well, and we are blown away, even though we play it from Spotify instead of how it ought to be played: vinyl. Ah, I remember buying that record as if it were yesterday, not three years ago. Tracing their memory cord further, an old friend pops up, Philip. With him, I saw them live for the first time. Six years after that concert, upon hearing of my diagnosis, he came down to Utrecht to have dinner and show his support. No small feat considering he lives in Sydney. Next up is a memory of me and Steph, in his car, probably on our way back from kitesurfing, blasting One More Time. It must have been 2003. Steph, the guy who introduced me to Nine Inch Nails, kitesurfing, my wife, and… yes, Daft Punk, in 1997. Not that long after we met, back in the days of mp3 and Winamp, when we were both living on campus in Twente.
Let's pull the Faithless cord from the other end. Where does it start? Three early moments jostle closely together, the first in my living room on that same campus. My TV is trying to show the video of Insomnia, but the reception is bad and the image is messed up. "Wait for that one sound, it'll cure it.", Sander says. Sure enough, from the moment that one sound enters the song, my TV shows the clip perfectly. Powerful stuff, music, it can even fix your television. Then, I am in Paul R.'s bedroom, listening to the album briefly, both of us full of enthusiasm. Then, meeting the guy who will become my sister's first ex husband, giving him my Faithless CD on impulse. A year or so later, getting to see the band perform for the first time, in Aberdeen, with sis and her husband. October 1998. The morning after the show, I fly back to France, and share the plane with… the band!! I shake Jamie Catto's hand and chat with Maxi Jazz during our stopover (if you know me, you heard this a thousand times already). The next time I see them, they are on stage at Lowlands Festival, but I couldn't tell you the year because I was too stoned to remember anything except that it was a really great concert. Then they brought out a few crappy albums and I lost interest, until they announced their comeback tour. Re-listening No Roots I discover that the album version of Mass Destruction is oddly void of melody, minimal meets triphop. Then, summer of 2015, the comeback concert is there, and so are we, Iris, Albert, and… Paul R. I feel at ease and almost normal – rare. We wonder why they never do Don't Leave live, and I eyespell J-A-M-I-E. The vocals are his and he left ages ago. Albert and Paul chat about Jamie Catto some more, mention that he did something something "1 Giant Leap". I forget all about that, until Insomnia is on the radio yesterday morning. I've been playing 1 Giant Leap ever since.
Music was my first love? Wrong. That was my mother, mr. John Miles. And it won't be my last, either. Nice try, though. I think I do love music – as far as it is possible to feel love for a concept. What is it that we love when we love the idea of something? A human is an idea, the "I" is a concept, so the notion of loving an idea isn't that weird. Let's step down a level: objects that do stuff. A song that makes me feel good is easy to like. Is that love? Or do we just like the effects of music's objects? Different example: at one point, I loved my car. How shallow! Would I still love it if it had a broken axle, a smashed windshield, a gearbox stuck in 1st, a rattling suspension and if it was not a BMW (metaphor-alert)? If it couldn't accelerate at breakneck speed, corner like glue and carry me gently, or do any of the other things that made me feel so good? At what point would you stop loving an idea if its incarnating objects cease to function?
I betray my self-centered view of love with this paragraph; love should be the desire to make the loved one happy, not getting thrills from something. Mental picture: try making your car happy, or music. Well, my sis does. She plays music in an orchestra. I just consume, and to do that, I use objects, that I love I'm really fond of. Two such objects are my speakers. My new speakers. Holy crap. I love the way they reproduce music! In our first weeks of listening, we noticed that we could actually hear how Thelonius' piano was oriented in the room Solo Monk was recorded in, to name but an example. We never actually realized there were piano and violins in Chop Suey!. Mr. E finally has breathing room in Lone Wolf. Nils Frahm is actually quietly singing along to Hammers. Et cetera. They make me feel great, these speakers, but of course this isn't love. Love is the tearing sensation in my chest when I miss Zoë and Iris. These speakers are the most satisfying object I've ever owned, but compared to real love… meh. I love you, girls.
P.S. To offset the selfishness of spending money on me, I quickly follow up with a donation to charity. Bought something for yourself recently? Fear not. My friend James Faust can help you out. He's fundraising for Project Mine, and will be happy to accept your donation. Read his incredible story on his blog.
P.P.S Rest easy, Eric. Shit.

Faithless at Lowlands? Must have been '97 or '98… Headlining twice, second time shortly after God is DJ was a number one. The earth in Biddinghuizen is probably still trembling.

Randolph v. White County
Court of Appeals of Tennessee, Nashville
PATRICIA RANDOLPH
WHITE COUNTY, TENNESSEE, ET AL.
Session May 7, 2019
Appeal from the Circuit Court for White County No. CC2880 Larry B. Stanley, Jr., Judge.
A mother brought suit against White County and its Sheriff for negligent infliction of emotional distress arising out of a situation in which the Sheriff erroneously informed the mother that her son had been shot and killed by deputies. The trial court dismissed the suit, ruling that the Sheriff was immune from suit under the Governmental Tort Liability Act and White County was immune from suit by application of the public duty doctrine. Mother appeals, asserting that neither defendant is immune from suit. Finding no error, we affirm the judgment.
Tenn. R. App. P. 3 Appeal as of Right; Judgment of the Circuit Court Affirmed
Richard M. Brooks, Carthage, Tennessee, for the appellant, Patricia Randolph.
Michael T. Schmitt, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellees, White County, Tennessee, and Oddie Shoupe, White County Sheriff.
Richard H. Dinkins, J., delivered the opinion of the court, in which J. Steven Stafford, P.J., W.S., and Carma Dennis McGee, J., joined.
RICHARD H. DINKINS, JUDGE.
I. Factual and Procedural History[1]
On April 13, 2017, White County Sheriff's deputies and Sparta police officers were involved in a high-speed chase of a pickup truck on Highway 111; the pursuit ended when the deputies shot and killed the driver, who had been identified by Dekalb County 911 dispatch as Michael Dial. Heather Ramsey, daughter of Patricia Randolph, the plaintiff in this case, received a call from one of her friends telling her that a post on social media stated that Ms. Randolph's son, Jason Kirby, was the driver who had been killed; Ms. Ramsey conveyed this information to Ms. Randolph. Ms. Randolph then went to the hospital to find out what had happened to her son; on the way to the hospital, she came upon the scene of the shooting. Upon her arrival, the Sheriff of White County, Oddie Shoupe, called Ms. Randolph over to where he was and told her that her son had fired at his deputies and they had to "take him out." Ms. Randolph continued to the hospital, where hospital personnel confirmed that it was her son who had been killed. While at the hospital, however, Ms. Randolph received a call from her ex-husband, who told her that there had been a mistake and that her son had not been killed. At some point, Jason Kirby learned of the report that he had been killed and went to his mother's home to show her that he was alive.
On April 12, 2018, Ms. Randolph filed suit against White County and Sheriff Shoupe, individually and in his official capacity, pursuant to the Governmental Tort Liability Act ("GTLA"), Tennessee Code Annotated section 29-20-101, et seq., and common law, to recover for negligent infliction of emotional distress. The defendants moved pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Civil Procedure 12.02(6) to dismiss the suit, contending that White County was immune from suit by application of the public duty doctrine and that Sheriff Shoupe was entitled to immunity under section 29-20-310(b) and by application of the public duty doctrine. Ms. Randolph responded, contending that the public duty doctrine did not immunize White County from suit because the special duty exception to the doctrine applied; she conceded that Sheriff Shoupe was immune from suit in his official capacity but argued that he could be held liable in his individual capacity.
At the hearing on the motion to dismiss, Ms. Randolph orally moved that she be allowed to take discovery before the court ruled on the motion to dismiss; the court denied the motion. The court granted Defendants' motion and dismissed the suit, ruling that: White County's immunity from suit had been removed by section 29-20-205(2) of the GTLA and that, as a consequence, by application of section 29-20-310(b), no claim could be brought against Sheriff Shoupe; and, White County was immune from suit pursuant to the public duty doctrine.
Ms. Randolph appeals, presenting the following issues for review:
1. Whether the trial court erred in granting Defendant White County, Tennessee, immunity pursuant to the common law public duty doctrine.
2. Whether the trial court erred in finding that the special duty exceptions to the public duty doctrine do not apply, thus retaining immunity for Defendant, White County, Tennessee, under the common law public duty doctrine.
3. Whether the trial court erred in granting the Defendant Oddie Shoupe, in his individual capacity, immunity pursuant to the Tennessee Governmental Tort Liability Act.
4. Whether the trial court erred in denying Plaintiff's oral motion for discovery.
II. Standard of Review
The purpose of a Tennessee Rule of Civil Procedure 12.02(6) motion to dismiss is to determine whether the pleadings state a claim upon which relief can be granted; such a motion only challenges the legal sufficiency of the complaint. Webb v. Nashville Area Habitat for Humanity, Inc., 346 S.W.3d 422, 426 (Tenn. 2011). It does not challenge the strength of the plaintiff's proof. See Bell ex rel. Snyder v. Icard, Merrill, Cullis, Timm, Furen & Ginsburg, P.A., 986 S.W.2d 550, 554 (Tenn. 1999). In reviewing a motion to dismiss, we must liberally construe the complaint, presuming all factual allegations to be true and giving the plaintiff the benefit of all reasonable inferences. See Pursell v. First American National Bank, 937 S.W.2d 838, 840 (Tenn. 1996); Trau-Med of Am., Inc. v. Allstate Ins. Co., 71 S.W.3d 691, 696-97 (Tenn. 2002). Thus, a complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim unless it appears that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his or her claim that would warrant relief. See Doe v. Sundquist, 2 S.W.3d 919, 922 (Tenn. 1999); Fuerst v. Methodist Hospital South, 566 S.W.2d 847, 848 (Tenn. 1978). Making such a determination is a question of law. Burks v. Savannah Indus. Dev. Corp. of the City of Savannah Tennessee, No. W2018-00166-COA-R3-CV, 2018 WL 5307091, at *1 (Tenn. Ct. App. Oct. 24, 2018) ("the scope of review after the grant or denial of a motion to dismiss involves a question of law") (citing Trau-Med of Am., Inc. v. Allstate Ins. Co., 71 S.W.3d 691, 696-97 (Tenn. 2002)). Our review of a trial court's determinations on issues of law is de novo, with no presumption of correctness. Frye v. Blue Ridge Neuroscience Center, P.C., 70 S.W.3d 710, 713 (Tenn. 2002); Bowden v. Ward, 27 S.W.3d 913, 916 (Tenn. 2000); Ganzevoort v. Russell, 949 S.W.2d 293, 296 (Tenn. 1997).
III. Analysis
A) The County's Immunity
The GTLA is premised on article I, section 17, of the Tennessee Constitution, which provides that suits against the State "may only be brought 'in such manner and in such courts as the Legislature may by law direct.'" Vaughn v. City of Tullahoma, No. M2015-02441-COA-R3-CV, 2017 WL 3149602, at *1 (Tenn. Ct. App. July 21, 2017) (quoting Tenn. Const. art. I, § 17). The GTLA codified the common law rule that "all governmental entities shall be immune from suit for any injury which may result from the activities of such governmental entities." Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-20-201(a). Subject to exceptions not applicable in this action, section 205 removes the immunity granted in section 201(a) in cases where the injury was "proximately caused by the negligent act or omission of any employee within the scope of his employment"; the parties do not dispute that White County's immunity is removed by section 205.[2]
         Notwithstanding the effect of the GTLA, White County argued, and the trial court agreed, that it was nevertheless immune from suit by application of the public duty doctrine, which is "a common law affirmative defense that . . . provides immunity to public employees [and governmental entities] from suits for injuries that are caused by their breach of a duty owed to the public at large."

Welcome to our new website. As you will hopefully see it has been designed to facilitate easy access to all the information you may require. If it doesn't, please let us know and we will do our best to amend it accordingly.
As many of our families, friends, governors and other stakeholders will know, at out last OFSTED inspection in November 2014, we were judged to be outstanding in every area.
We want to improve on this. We realise that communication is an area where we can improve. The launch of this new website is the first in a range of strategies we wish to put in place to help move the school forward.
I know we do not have the monopoly on good ideas. If you have suggestions on how we can improve further, please let me know.
Bit late to the party, but I'm loving the new accessibility to the website. Stunning job!


In a way, the drivers on this temporary racing circuit at RFK (Robert F. Kennedy) Stadium are like the drivers commuting to and from work in the Washington area. They're concerned about traffic and weather.
The Trans-Am drivers had to deal with heavy traffic and hot, humid weather Friday afternoon as they qualified for tomorrow's race.
The driver-and-car combination best able to handle the conditions and this tight, seven-turn track was Butch Leitzinger in a Corvette. Leitzinger turned a quick lap of a minute and 12 seconds or 133 kilometers per hour. This is the fourth pole position in a row this season for Leitzinger.
Starting beside him on the front row Saturday will be Boris Said in a Panoz Esperante. Said is the Trans-Am championship leader, having won three races in the series before this weekend. The defending series champion, Paul Gentilozzi, qualified sixth in a Jaguar.
One after another, drivers are praising the temporary track at RFK Stadium. They all compliment the layout, the new asphalt surface and the general organization of the Cadillac Grand Prix.
Organizers of the event only began construction of the track and its facilities in late March. This weekend, there are not only a complete race track, but also grandstand seats for 30,000, plus luxury suites and track concessions providing food and other items for the fans. Organizers are predicting as many as 70,000 fans will be in attendance this weekend.
