Clancy Nacht > Series > Immortal Sins
This is planned to be a three-part series, though works as standalone. Currently, the second book is drafted and we're awaiting the return of our rights on the first one to rebrand and then we can continue it. It's a sexy erotic horror story and while there is a very deep romance, we do have to emphasize that it is very much horror. These vampires do not sparkle. They decapitate. They destroy. They like it.
The first novel is currently available:
Olen Clark is a nighttime security guard at the Houston Museum of Natural History, tormented by a dark past and painfully alone. His beauty and secrets attract the notice of an ancient vampire, Lysander of Sparta–known to Olen as Ander, who enters Olen's world under a shroud of mystery and captures the spiritually wounded Olen's imagination. Starry-eyed, with visions of pop culture vampire love filling his head, Olen takes the ultimate risk for love only to discover unlife is nothing like he imagined.
Rather than becoming Ander's lover, he's reborn into a cruel vampiric family with sibling rivalry and dangerous lusts beyond his worst fears. With his love for Ander unchanged but his maker keeping him at arm's length, can Olen make peace with his new brothers and sisters and discover a way to win back the master vampire who still holds his heart? And how far is Olen willing to go to make Ander his and his alone?

MyBB, formerly MyBBoard and originally MyBulletinBoard
MyBB, formerly MyBBoard and originally MyBulletinBoard, is a free and open-source forum software developed by the MyBB Group. It is written in PHP, supports MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite as database systems and, in addition, has database failover support.[2] It is available in multiple languages[3] and is licensed under the LGPL.[4]
MyBB 1.0 and 1.1
Founded as DevBB in 2002 by Chris Boulton from a fork of XMB, the first public release (RC1) of MyBB was published on 10 December 2003. It wasn't until 2 years later, on 9 December 2005, that MyBB 1.0 was released.
On 9 March 2006, version 1.1 was released. The last version of this series was 1.1.8, a security update released on 20 August 2006.
MyBB 1.2
On 2 September 2006, with a revised and rewritten code base and over 40 new features, MyBB 1.2 was released. Support for the 1.2 series officially ended on 1 June 2009, although security updates were available until 31 December 2009.[5]
The final version of the 1.2 series, 1.2.14, was a security and maintenance update published on 17 July 2008.[6] Several security patches were available in consequent security updates for users still using the 1.2 series.
After a long beta phase MyBB 1.4 was released on 2 August 2008 complete with over 70 new features, including a completely revised and redesigned Administration Control Panel (ACP).
On 12 October 2008, MyBB 1.4.2 was released. This version changed MyBB's license from proprietary to GNU GPL v3.[7] The change in license was driven from a request from KDE who, in a related announcement, launched their first web-based community using MyBB as an alternative to a mailinglist.
On 2 May 2009, due to time constraints, founder Chris Boulton left the day-to-day responsibilities to Dennis Tsang (previously the Support Team Manager) who took over as Product Manager of MyBB. Matt Rogowski would later take over Dennis' responsibilities as Support Team Manager.[8]
So far, much of MyBB's development happened internally on a closed cycle. After switching to an open source license, on 19 August 2009, the MyBB Group opened development access so that users had access to the official bugtracker and read access to the subversion repository.[9]
The final version in the 1.4 series was 1.4.16, released as a security update on 17 April 2011.[10] Support for the series ended on 1 July 2011 for both maintenance and security releases.[11]
On 3 August 2010, on the 2 year anniversary of MyBB 1.4's release, MyBB 1.6 was released with over 40 new features and included many tweaks, fixes and performance optimizations. The 1.6 series is distributed under the GNU LGPL v3[4] and requires at least PHP 5.1.[12]
During the 1.6 series, several senior members of the MyBB Group changed positions. On 3 October 2010, Tim Bell was promoted to Product Manager with responsibilities of running the day-to-day operations of MyBB as well as the marketing aspect of the MyBB product. Dennis Tsang took a position as Technical Advisor, helping with software design and development of MyBB.
The old MyBB logo
On 5 December 2010 Ryan Gordon, the lead developer of MyBB for the past 5 years, resigned to pursue new challenges. As a result, Tom Moore took over Ryan's responsibilities for development and Dylan M took over management of the MyBB Merge System.
MyBB 1.6.4, released 26 July 2011, was one of the largest MyBB updates and the first release in MyBB's history that required all core files to be replaced due to errors in previous releases of 1.6. It was also the first release to include feature changes which are normally reserved for major point (feature) releases, but was marred upon discovery that the release had been contaminated during a MyBB server breach with dangerous code that could be used to exploit forum installations running 1.6.4.[13] The step to include new feature updates was taken to extend the life of the 1.6 series while MyBB's next series, MyBB 2.0, was being developed.
On 25 November 2011, MyBB 1.6.5 was released. This version included over 10 new feature updates, including reCAPTCHA support and advancements to prevent spam users.[14]
On 10 February 2012, MyBB 1.6.6 was released as a security update. It fixed 14 low-risk vulnerabilities and fixed an issue allowing for the import of a non-CSS stylesheet. MyBB also fixed a bug in 1.6.5 where announcements would disappear.[15] On 14 February 2012, the MyBB Group announced that MyBB 1.6.6 was originally released with development code unintentionally included.[16]
On March 31, 2012, MyBB 1.6.7 was released, fixing over 70 issues, and introducing 5 feature updates. It fixed 4 SQL Injection vulnerabilities (low risk), an XSS vulnerability, and a path disclosure issue. The feature updates included wider display of Forum Rules, Custom Moderator Tool permissions, an override permission for sending an email to a user who has ignored you, and the ability for a user to log in with their email address.[17]
On May 27, 2012, MyBB 1.6.8 was released. It was a general maintenance release and fixes over 40 reported issues. To provide support for EU users cookies tracking forums or threads that have been read by guests are now session cookies. The information held within these cookies will be destroyed when the user's browser is closed.[18]
On December 15, 2012, MyBB 1.6.9 was released. It was a security release for the 1.6 series. In this version was fixed a high risk SQL vulnerability when editing a post and another medium vulnerability about CAPTCHA systems. Also was fixed a bug related to the editor that not working in Firefox 16 (and above).[19]
On April 22, 2013, MyBB 1.6.10 was released. It was a security & maintenance release. It saw the fixation of seven minor vulnerabilities and over 95 reported bugs causing the incorrect utilization. A considerable amount of effort has been put into MyBB 1.6.10 to fix a myriad of issues with PHP 5.4.[20]
On October 8, 2013, MyBB 1.6.11 was released. It was a security & maintenance release. In this release, 5 vulnerabilities and over 65 reported issues causing incorrect functionality of MyBB were fixed, including a vulnerability that affected users using a MySQL Database.[21]
On December 30, 2013, MyBB 1.6.12 was released. It was a security & maintenance release. In this release, 4 vulnerabilities and 10 reported issues causing incorrect functionality of MyBB were fixed, adding a new feature: support for 4-Byte UTF-8 Unicode Encoding for a MySQL Database.[22]
On April 26, 2014, MyBB 1.6.13 was released. It was a security & maintenance release. In this release, 4 vulnerabilities and 38 reported issues causing incorrect functionality of MyBB were fixed, solving two medium risk reported vulnerabilities.[23]
On June 30, 2014, MyBB 1.6.14 was released. It was a security & maintenance release. In this release, 5 vulnerabilities and 50 reported issues causing incorrect functionality of MyBB were fixed, solving two medium risk reported vulnerabilities.[24]
On August 4, 2014, MyBB 1.6.15 was released. It was a security & maintenance release. In this release, 1 vulnerability and 26 reported issues were fixed, solving one medium risk vulnerability.[25]
On November 20, 2014, MyBB 1.6.16 was released. It was a security release. In this release, 5 low risk vulnerabilities were fixed, in addition to sanitizing all data obtained from the MyBB server.[26]
The new MyBB Logo, used from MyBB 1.8.0 onwards.
The MyBB Team said many times that MyBB would be jumping directly from MyBB 1.6 to 2.0. However, on 1 April 2012, the MyBB group announced that there would in fact be a MyBB 1.8.[17] Many considered this to be an April Fool's joke. Then, on 3 April 2012, another blog post was released saying that "it was no April Fool".[27] MyBB 1.8 will feature a new default theme based on MyBB lead designer Justin S.'s Apart theme series. A brand new feature to do with themes was announced:
[Attachable base colors] allow you to create colours to which you can attach stylesheets (just like you can attach stylesheets to pages). You can also set a display order for all your stylesheets so that they can override styles. Together, the changes mean you can add a theme with as many custom colours as you want. Using the parent/child theme structure that already exists in 1.x you can restrict or allow certain usergroups to use these colours and, as they inherit the main stylesheets, they're very easy to manage. So, there is no longer the need to install a dozen different themes just for a different colour header.
Tom Moore, MyBB lead developer[27]
The post went on to say that MyBB's default JavaScript library would be changed to the more popular jQuery from the current Prototype JavaScript Framework. A new "trash can" soft delete feature was also announced that allows deleted posts to be recovered in the Moderator Control Panel. It was also mentioned that instead of releasing an official anti-spam plugin as planned called Spam Ninja, the MyBB Team would be added many new anti-spam features directly to the MyBB core.
The MyBB Team also announced that the development SVN repository would be moving from their own dev site at dev.mybb.com to GitHub. The GitHub repository was opened to the public on January 23, 2013.[28] All open issues on the development site were moved to GitHub on March 3, 2014.[29]
On June 1, 2014, MyBB 1.8 Beta 1 was released for the public to test and report bugs and issues.[30]
On July 1, 2014, MyBB 1.8 Beta 2 was released for the public to test and report bugs and issues. It included 5 new features and several enhancements since the first beta.[31]
On July 21, 2014, MyBB 1.8 Beta 3 was released for the public to test and report bugs and issues. It was the last beta release before MyBB 1.8 went 'gold'. It included 8 new features and several enhancements since the second beta.[32]
On September 1, 2014, MyBB 1.8 was released with over 24 new features and many enhancements. These changes include: a new theme (for both the front-end forum and back-end Admin CP), IPv6 features, soft delete and the much anticipated change of JavaScript library from Prototype to the more popular jQuery. The release also saw an updated website design and the implementation of the new logo and brand.[33]
On September 17, 2014, MyBB Merge System 1.8 was released, dropping support for 5 other forum software versions, but also adding support for 9 more.[34]
On October 23, 2014, MyBB 1.8.1 was released along with MyBB Merge System 1.8.1. It was a maintenance release. 74 reported issues were fixed and 7 in the Merge System.[35]
On November 13, 2014, MyBB 1.8.2 was released. It was a security release. 5 vulnerabilities were fixed, including one high risk SQL injection vulnerability.[36]
On November 20, 2014, MyBB 1.8.3 was released. It was a security release. 6 vulnerabilities were fixed, including one high risk SQL injection vulnerability, in addition to sanitizing all data obtained from the MyBB server.[26]
On February 15, 2015, MyBB 1.8.4 was released. It was a feature update, security and maintenance release. 7 vulnerabilities, including 2 medium risk XSS vulnerabilities, and 118 reported issues were fixed.[37]
On May 27, 2015, MyBB 1.8.5 was released. It was a security and maintenance release. This release fixed 6 security vulnerabilities and 58 reported issues.[38]
The latest version of MyBB 1.8.x is 1.8.19, released on September 11, 2018.
Branding changes
On April 22, 2011, the MyBB Group announced that they were looking for a "creative doodler"[39] to create a mascot for MyBB. Mike Creuzer, of Audentio Design, was chosen for the job. The new MyBB mascot and logo were officially announced on January 12, 2012.[40] A forum discussion was created to propose names for the mascot. The top ten names were placed into a poll, and the community voted and decided upon the name "Bolt",[17] representing MyBB founder Chris Boulton and the speediness and ease of use MyBB has.
After a community vote, the development of MyBB 2.0 was put on hold and the development shifted to smaller 1.x updates that can be rolled out in a quicker fashion, starting with 1.9.[41] 1.9 will feature a responsive theme written with the Twig template system, replace the current editor with TinyMCE and introducing the Swiftmailer mail handler. Some customization abilities will be added to the admin control panel. In January 2018 lead developer Euan announced a beta version of MyBB 1.9 for the first quarter of 2018.[42] In August 2019 no updated release date was announced by the development team.[43] The release of the beta of MyBB 1.9 didn't happen as of December 2020.
The next major release of MyBB will be 2.0, targeted for a release within MyBB's typical release cycle. It will be rewritten from scratch in a MVC method, using the Laravel PHP web application framework. The GitHub development repository will be opened to the public for contributions and an alpha download released once the new code-base becomes "working software with all the basics".[44] The development of MyBB 2.0 was put on hold in June 2018.
On 27 April 2010, the MyBB Group started a donation drive in an effort to purchase the mybb.com domain name. The Group needed to raise $5,000 from community donations for the transfer, and with founder Chris Boulton and community member Jesse Labrocca personally providing $1,000, that left $3,000 from the community.[45]
Just a month later, on 27 May 2010, MyBB.com was transferred and in use across the site.[46]
MyBB supports multiple database engines. It currently supports MySQL, PgSQL, and SQLite v2 and v3.[47] MyBB also supports database failover support so that if one database fails, MyBB will load the next database on the list. Master and slave databases are also configurable.
Plugins and themes
MyBB plugins are written in PHP and use hooking techniques. Unlike other software like WordPress, plugins need to be uploaded via FTP as uploading from the admin panel is not supported without a plugin.[48] However, this is a considerable advantage over the old extension method used by phpBB where all modifications are core file edits.
MyBB Themes are written inside the Admin Control Panel, and exported to an XML file. The XML file includes all modified MyBB templates and CSS stylesheets, which is redistributed alongside any extra resources (such as images) in a Zip file.
There are over 2,400 plugins and themes on the MyBB mods website. Many other MyBB resource sites, such as MyBBCentral or MyBB-Plugins also offer exclusive, and sometimes paid, plugins and themes.[49]
MyBB has a relatively low-risk security record. In August 2008, MyBB performed a security audit (provided by GulfTech) which led to the release of MyBB 1.4.2 on 17 September 2008.[50]
The MyBB Group put security first, giving it the highest priority, to the extent that the MyBB website has a "Security Hall of Fame" to recognise those who responsibly disclose vulnerabilities in the software.[51]
In October 2011, MyBB found 3rd party code had contaminated the 1.6.4 release files.[52] This code could be exploited to open a security vulnerability on a forum running the affected version. It was later found that a security flaw in the custom CMS mybb.com uses to power its website allowed a malicious user to alter the download files to include their own code.[13]
As a result of the intrusion, the MyBB Group now hosts downloads via GitHub to ensure the security of a release.[53] A Forum Security section on the MyBB Community Forums opened in 2011 to provide support for users who have been a victim of an exploit.
Throughout 2011, automated registrations caused forum spam in many MyBB powered forums. In MyBB 1.6.5, released on 25 November 2011, additional methods were added to help administrators locate spam users and manage them effectively as well as providing standard reCAPTCHA support.
In May 2012, hacktivist group UGNazi gained unauthorized control over the MyBB.com domain name using a social engineering technique. The attack appears to have been motivated by the use of the MyBB software by a third-party website, HackForums.[54][55]
Merge System
The MyBB Merge System was first developed in early 2007. MyBB Merge System 1.6 allows conversions from Invision Power Board, phpBB, Simple Machines Forum, PunBB, bbPress, or vBulletin to MyBB, or merge MyBB installations together.[56] MyBB Merge System 1.8 allows conversions from bbPress version 2.5, FluxBB, Invision Power Board versions 3 and 4 (Pre Release Version), MyBB version 1.8 (merge), phpBB version 3, SMF versions 1.1 and 2.0, PunBB version 1.2, Vanilla, vBulletin versions 3 and 4, WoltLab Burning Board versions 3, 4 and Lite 2, XenForo.[57]
MyBB had a 9.6 out of ten review at forum-software.org[58] and was named the best free forum software of 2008,[59] 2010,[60] 2011[61] and 2012[62] by the same site. It has been featured in magazines such as The H[63] and runs several sizeable forums on the web, including HackForums, CSNbbs, and several EA Sports boards.[64][65]

160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment
US Army's 160th SOAR(A) puts CAE-built MH-47G simulator into service
Monday, August 20, 2007 / CAE
[FONT=Tahoma, Arial, Verdana]CAE USA today announced the U.S. Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment – Airborne has accepted and put into service a new CAE-built MH-47G Chinook combat mission simulator (CMS).
The simulator was delivered to Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, home of the 160th SOAR(A) – also known as the Night Stalkers – in the spring, and recently concluded on-site testing and acceptance. The simulator was delivered as part of the U.S. Army's Special Operations Forces Aviation Training and Rehearsal Systems (ASTARS) program led by the Army's Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI).
The MH-47G CMS features a number of industry firsts, including a collimated display system with the largest vertical field-of-view ever delivered on a full motion simulator and simulation of the common avionics architecture system (CAAS). The simulator also features the first-ever implementation of the Common Environment/Common Database (CE/CDB), a new database architecture designed for the U.S. Special Operations Command that promises significantly enhanced database capabilities to support rapid mission rehearsal timelines.
"The design of the MH-47G simulator, in parallel with the development and implementation of the CE/CDB, was one of the most demanding and technically challenging simulation programs our industry has seen in recent years," said John Lenyo, President and General Manager, CAE USA. "The 160th demands the most advanced training and mission rehearsal systems and CAE is proud to have delivered this state-of-the-art simulator that will play a key role in supporting the mission success of special operations forces."
The MH-47G is the newest variant of the Boeing-built Chinook helicopter designed specifically for rapid movement of special operations forces and equipment for counterterrorism actions, strategic intelligence strikes, tactical reconnaissance, infiltration, resupply, extraction, and interdiction operations during night, day, adverse weather, and limited visibility conditions.
"The MH-47G simulator now fielded by the U.S. Special Operations Command is an excellent training and mission rehearsal tool, and is also the baseline for the training system we are providing for the HH-47 Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR-X) program for the U.S. Air Force," said Rick Lemaster, Boeing HH-47 Program Manager. "This is yet another example of how the HH-47 leverages Army and U.S. Special Operations Command investment, resulting in a proven, low-risk solution for the new combat search and rescue helicopter needed by the Air Force."
CAE is a world leader in providing simulation and modelling technologies and integrated training solutions for the civil aviation industry and defence forces around the globe. With annual revenues exceeding C$1 billion, CAE employs more than 5,500 people at more than 75 sites and training locations in 19 countries. We have the largest installed base of civil and military full-flight simulators and training devices. Through our global network of 24 aviation training centres, equipped with over 115 full-flight simulators, we train more than 50,000 crewmembers yearly. We also offer modelling and simulation software to various market segments and have a professional services division assisting customers with a wide range of simulation-based needs. http://www.cae.com/

Erede della signoria di Borbone, nel 1237, suo padre, Arcimbaldo IX, con il duca di Borgogna, Ugo IV, stipulò un contratto di matrimonio per Matilde ed il figlio primogenito di Ugo IV, Oddone, entrambi ancora bambini, come apprendiamo dalla Preuves de la généalogique des ducs de Bourgogne de la maison de France.Nel 1248 fu celebrato il matrimonio tra Matilde e Oddone, che come ci viene confermato nel testamento del padre di Oddone, Ugo IV, del 1272, era il figlio primogenito del Duca di Borgogna ed in seguito re titolare di Tessalonica, Ugo IV di Borgogna e della prima moglie, Iolanda di Dreux, che, come ci viene confermato dalla Chronica Albrici Monachi Trium Fontium, era figlia del conte di Dreux e di Braine, Roberto III e della moglie (come ci viene confermato dal documento n° LXXIX del Cartulaire du comté de Ponthieu), Eleonora, signora di Saint-Valéry, come appendiamo dalla Histoire généalogique des ducs de Bourgogne de la maison de France.

Nel 1248, suo padre, Arcimbaldo IX, aderì alla crociata del re di Francia, Luigi IX il Santo; prima di partire, Arcimbaldo fece testamento, in cui dichiarava sue eredi le figlie, Matilde e Agnese (Mahaut et Agnetem filias meas) e indicava gli esecutori testamentari, lo zio Guido di Dampierre ed il cognato (marito di sua sorella Beatrice), Béraud VII, signore di Mercoeur (dominum G. de Dampnapetra avunculum meum, et dominum Beraudum de Mercolio sororium meum), ai quali aveva affidato la figlia, Agnese, promessa in sposa a Giovanni di Borgogna; la copia del testamento e riportata nelle Preuves de l'Etude sur la chronologie des sires de Bourbon, Xe-XIIIe siecles.In quello stesso anno, i suoi genitori Arcimbaldo e Iolanda, partirono al seguito di Luigi IX; la flotta fece tappa a Cipro dove avrebbe passato l'inverno, ma l'epidemia che colpì l'esercito, portò alla morte Arcimbaldo, che morì a Cipro il 15 gennaio 1249; sua madre, Iolanda sopravvisse e rientrò in Francia col corpo del marito.Matilde succedette al padre nella  Signoria di Borbone, come Matilde II, assieme al marito, Oddone di Borgogna-Nevers, che divenne signore consorte di Borbone.Nel documento n° 321 dei Titres de la maison ducale de Bourbon, Oddone viene citato come Signore di Borbone (sire de Bourbon).

Quando, tra il 1251 ed il 1252, morì sua madre, Iolanda, Matilde divenne l'erede delle contee di Nevers, d'Auxerre e di Tonnerre, e alla morte della bisnonna, la contessa, Matilde I, nel (1257), divenne contessa di Nevers, Auxerre e Tonnerre, che governò assieme ad Oddone, che assunse il titolo di conte di Nevers, d'Auxerre e di Tonnerre.

Matilde morì nel 1262, e dopo la sua morte, il marito, Oddone, tenne la reggenza delle contee di Nevers, Auxerre e Tonnerre mentre il Borbone andò alla sorella di Matilde, la secondogenita Agnese.

Figli
Matilde a Oddone diede quattro figlie:
 Iolanda (dicembre 1248-2 giugno 1280), contessa di Nevers; sposò in prime nozze Giovanni Tristano di Valois, figlio di Luigi IX di Francia; Giovanni morirà senza darle figli. In seconde nozze si sposerà ad Auxerre, nel marzo 1272, con Roberto di Dampierre, come ci conferma la Iohannis de Thielrode Genealogia Comitum Flandriæ
 Margherita (1250-4 settembre 1308, contessa di Tonnerre; sposa di Carlo I d'Angiò, fratello di Luigi IX, come ci viene confermato dal Continuatio Chronici Guillelmi de Nangiaco
 Alice (1251 - 1290), contessa di Auxerre, sposa di Giovanni I di Chalon
 Giovanna (1253 - 1271),

"Traditional Vs. Progressive Education" by John Dewey
Mankind likes to think in terms of extreme opposites. It is given to formulating its beliefs in terms of Either-Ors, between which it recognizes no intermediate possibilities. When forced to recognize that the extremes cannot be acted upon, it is still inclined to hold that they are all right in theory but that when it comes to practical matters circumstances compel us to compromise. Educational philosophy is no exception. The history of educational theory is marked by position between the idea that education is development from within and that it is formation from without; that it is based upon natural endowments and that education is a process of overcoming natural inclination and substituting in its place habits acquired under external pressure.
At present, the opposition, so far as practical affairs of the school are concerned, tends to take the form of contrast between traditional and progressive education. If the underlying ideas of the former are formulated broadly, without the qualifications required for accurate statement, they are found to be about as follows: The subject matter of education consists of bodies of information and of skills that have been worked out in the past; therefore, the chief business of the school is to transmit them to the new generation. In the past, there have also been developed standards and rules of conduct; moral training consists in forming habits of action in conformity with these rules and standards. Finally, the general pattern of school organization (by which I mean the relations of pupils to one another and to the teachers) constitutes the school a kind of institution sharply marked off from other social institutions. Call up in imagination the ordinary schoolroom, its time-schedules, schemes of classification, of examination and promotion, of rules of order, and I think you will grasp what is meant by "pattern of organization." if then you contrast this scene with what goes on in the family, for example, you will appreciate what is meant by the school being a kind of institution sharply marked from any other form of social organization.
The three characteristics just mentioned fix the aims and methods of instruction and discipline. The main purpose or objective is to prepare the young for future responsibilities and for success in life, by means of acquisition of the organized bodies of information and prepared forms of skill which comprehend the material of instruction. Since the subject-matter as well as standards of proper conduct are handed down from the past, the attitude of pupils must, upon the whole, be one of docility, receptivity, and obedience. Books, especially textbooks, are the chief representatives of the lore and wisdom of the past, while teachers are the organs through which pupils are brought into effective connection with the material Teachers are the agents through which knowledge and skills are communicated and rules of conduct enforced.
I have not made this brief summary for the purpose of criticizing the underlying philosophy. The rise of what is called new education and progressive schools is of itself a product of discontent with traditional education. In effect it is a criticism of the latter. When the implied criticism is made explicit it reads somewhat as follows:
The traditional scheme is, in essence, one of imposition from above and from outside. It imposes adult standards, subject-matter, and methods upon those who are only growing slowly toward maturity. The gap is so great that the required subject-matter, the methods of learning and of behaving are foreign to the existing capacities of the young. They are beyond the reach of the experience the young learners already possess. Consequently, they must be imposed; even though good teachers will use devices of art to cover up the imposition so as to relieve it of obviously brutal features.
But the gulf between the mature or adult products and the experience and abilities of the young is so wide that the very situation forbids much active participation by pupils in the development of what is taught. Theirs is to do—and learn, as it was the part of the six hundred to do and die. Learning here means acquisition of what already is incorporated in books and in the heads of the elders. Moreover, that which is taught is thought of as essentially static. It is taught as a finished product, with little regard either to the ways in which it was originally built up or to changes that will surely occur in the future. It is to a large extent the cultural product of societies that assumed the future would be much like the past, and yet it is used as educational food in a society where change is the rule, not the exception.
If one attempts to formulate the philosophy of education implicit in the practices of the new education, we may, I think, discover certain common principles amid the variety of progressive schools now existing. To imposition from above is opposed expression and cultivation of individuality; to external discipline is opposed free activity; to learning from texts and teachers, learning through experience; to acquisition of isolated skills and techniques by drill, is opposed acquisition of them as means of attaining ends which make direct vital appeal; to preparation for a more or less remote future is opposed making the most of the opportunities of present life; to static aims and materials is opposed acquaintance with a changing world.

Q: How to extract, compare, and transform data from complicated strings using Python? I have a series of Maya MEL commands that I'm trying to read in, compare, and transform with Python. I am able to read in the lines, but I am having trouble extracting the data I need. Each command line contains an identifier and a series of ordered variables, usually only 3 but always symmetric with the number of variables of another line for the same identifier.
For example, I may have files that have the following:
// Default Lip Positions - 15_0504
setAttr("Lower_Lips.translate", 1.670481893, 10.29264716, 0.0005245589302)  ;
setAttr("Lower_Lips.rotate", 80.13419306, -90, 0);
setAttr("Lower_Lips.scale", 1, 1, 1) ;
setAttr("Lower_Lips.cv[12]", -0.5607159408, -0.815908366, 10.34516376) ;
setAttr("Lower_Lips.cv[11]", -0.5142785558, -0.9430959629, 10.29982363) ;
// Default 15_0726
setAttr("Lower_Lips.translate", 1.670481893, 10.29264716, 0.0005245589302);
setAttr("Lower_Lips.rotate", 80.13419306, -90, 0) ;
setAttr("Lower_Lips.cv[11]", -0.4987127378, -0.9397891962, 10.31868927);
setAttr("Lower_Lips.scale", 1, 1, 1) ;
setAttr("Lower_Lips.cv[12]", -0.5437445653, -0.815908366, 10.36395894) ;

And I would need to extract the identifier (text between the double quotes) and associated values into a data structure. I would also need to ignore comments or empty lines. So, the first tuple would be something like:
('Lower_Lips.translate', '1.670481893','10.29264716','0.0005245589302')

And a later, more complicated command line's tuple would be:
('Lower_Lips.cv[12]', '-0.5607159408', '-0.815908366', '10.34516376')

I would then be able to look for duplicate identifiers and perform some operation on their two sets of values, like finding the difference. I was trying to do it with Regex and got as far as figuring out the identifier's pattern would be something like:
re.compile('.*"([^"]*)".*')

A: You may try reading in the whole file with f.read() and then applying this regex code on the contents:
import re
p = re.compile(r'^setAttr\("([^"]*)",\s+(\S*),\s+(\S*),\s+(\S*)\)\s*;', re.MULTILINE)
test_str = "// Default Lip Positions - 15_0504\nsetAttr(\"Lower_Lips.translate\", 1.670481893, 10.29264716, 0.0005245589302)  ;\nsetAttr(\"Lower_Lips.rotate\", 80.13419306, -90, 0);\nsetAttr(\"Lower_Lips.scale\", 1, 1, 1) ;\nsetAttr(\"Lower_Lips.cv[12]\", -0.5607159408, -0.815908366, 10.34516376) ;\nsetAttr(\"Lower_Lips.cv[11]\", -0.5142785558, -0.9430959629, 10.29982363) ;   \n// Default 15_0726\nsetAttr(\"Lower_Lips.translate\", 1.670481893, 10.29264716, 0.0005245589302);\nsetAttr(\"Lower_Lips.rotate\", 80.13419306, -90, 0) ;\nsetAttr(\"Lower_Lips.cv[11]\", -0.4987127378, -0.9397891962, 10.31868927);\nsetAttr(\"Lower_Lips.scale\", 1, 1, 1) ;\nsetAttr(\"Lower_Lips.cv[12]\", -0.5437445653, -0.815908366, 10.36395894) ;"
print(re.findall(p, test_str))

The regex
^setAttr\("([^"]*)",\s+(\S*),\s+(\S*),\s+(\S*)\)\s*;

will just check each line and will extract necessary data from each one that conforms to the pattern.

A legal term per day: A as "Abuse of right". In Italian "abuso del diritto", in French "abus de droit", in Spanish "abuso de derecho".
The term is commonly referred to the exercise of a right in order to harm a third party, disregarding the social duties, only to cause annoyance, harm, or injury to another.
The principle is a creature of case law and was expanded from the neighborhood law doctrine of aemulatio vicini under the jus commune. This principle departs from the classical theory that "he who uses a right injures no one" (= neminem laedit qui suo iure utitur), instead embracing the maxim "a right ends where abuse begins" (= le droit cesse où l'abus commence).
In civil law jurisdictions, abuse of rights (also known as Prohibition of Chicane) is the exercise of a legal right only to cause annoyance, harm, or injury to another. The abuser is liable for the harm caused by their actions. Some examples of this are abuse of power, barratry, frivolous or vexatious litigation, a spite fence or wall, forum shopping, abuse of process, malicious prosecution, tax avoidance (vs. anti-avoidance rules, step transaction doctrine, economic substance), etc.
-the right is exercised for a purpose other than its intended legal purpose.
The principle does not exist in common law jurisdictions.
In Scots law (which is mixed civil/common law jurisdiction), abuse of rights is called aemulatio vicini.
To harm a third party.
To cause annoyance, harm, or injury to another.
The principle is a creature of case law and was expanded from the neighborhood law doctrine of aemulatio vicini under the jus commune.

Pause (Speech and Writing)

An Introduction to Punctuation
Richard Nordquist
English and Rhetoric Professor
Ph.D., Rhetoric and English, University of Georgia

Dr. Richard Nordquist is professor emeritus of rhetoric and English at Georgia Southern University and the author of several university-level grammar and composition textbooks.
In phonetics, a pause is a break in speaking; a moment of silence.
Adjective: pausal.
Pauses and Phonetics
In phonetic analysis, a double vertical bar (||) is used to represent a distinct pause. In direct speech (in both fiction and nonfiction), a pause is conventionally indicated in writing by ellipsis points (. . .) or a dash (—).
Pauses in Fiction
"Gwen raised her head and spoke haltingly, fighting back tears. 'He told me Tuesday there was too much damage . . .' She wiped her wet face with her fingers. 'But he wants to send her to a specialist in Memphis.'" (John Grisham, A Time to Kill. Wynwood Press, 1989)
"'Anyone who is guilty of such practices . . .,' he paused for effect, leaning forward and staring at the congregation, ' . . . anyone in town . . .,' he turned and looked behind him, at the monks and nuns in the choir, ' . . . or even in the priory . . .' He turned back. 'I say, anyone guilty of such practices should be shunned.'"He paused for effect.
"'And may God have mercy on their souls.'" (Ken Follett, World Without End. Dutton, 2007)
Pauses in Drama
Mick: You still got that leak.
Aston: Yes.
It's coming from the roof.
Mick: From the roof, eh?
I'll have to tar it over.
Mick: You're going to tar it over?
Mick: What?
Aston: The cracks.
Mick: You'll be tarring over the cracks on the roof.
Mick: Think that'll do it?
Aston: It'll do it, for the time being.
Mick: Uh.
Pause. (Harold Pinter, The Caretaker. Grove Press, 1961)
"The pause is a pause because of what has just happened in the minds and guts of the characters. They spring out of the text. They're not formal conveniences or stresses but part of the body of the action." (Harold Pinter in Conversations With Pinter by Mel Gussow. Nick Hern Books, 1994)
Pauses in Public Speaking
"If you prefer to read your speech, make sure to pause frequently, take a breath, look up, and scan the audience. . . .
"Besides allowing you to fill your lungs with air, pausing also allows the audience to absorb the spoken words and create pictures in their own minds. The habit of pausing eliminates the dreaded "um" and "err" and adds emphasis to your last point." (Peter L. Miller, Speaking Skills for Every Occasion. Pascal Press, 2003)
Pauses in Conversation
"There are even 'rules' about silence. It has been said that, in a conversation between two English speakers who are not close friends, a silence of longer than four seconds is not allowed (which means that people become embarrassed if nothing is said after that time—they feel obliged to say something, even if it is only a remark about the weather.)" (Peter Trudgill, Sociolinguistics: An Introduction to Language and Society, 4th ed. Penguin, 2000)
Types and Functions of Pauses
"A distinction has been drawn between silent pauses and filled pauses (e.g. ah, er), and several functions of pause have been established, e.g. for breathing, to mark grammatical boundaries, and to provide time for the planning of new material. Pauses which have a structural function (juncture pauses) are distinguished from those involved in hesitation (hesitation pauses). Investigations of pausal phenomena have been particularly relevant in relation to developing a theory of speech production. In grammar, the notion of potential pause is sometimes used as a technique for establishing word units in a language—pauses being more likely at word boundaries than within words." (David Crystal, Dictionary of Linguistics and Phonetics, 6th ed. Blackwell, 2008)
"Systematic pausing . . . performs several functions:
marking syntactic boundaries;
allowing the speaker time to forward plan;
providing semantic focus (a pause after an important word);
marking a word or phrase rhetorically (a pause before it);
indicating the speaker's willingness to hand over the speech turn to an interlocutor.
The first two are closely connected. For the speaker, it is efficient to construct forward planning around syntactic or phonological units (the two may not always coincide). For the listener this carries the benefit that syntactic boundaries are often marked." (John Field, Psycholinguistics: The Key Concepts. Routledge, 2004)
Lengths of Pauses
"Pausing also gives the speaker time to plan an upcoming utterance (Goldman-Eisler, 1968; Butcher, 1981; Levelt, 1989). Ferreira (1991) showed that speech 'planning-based' pauses are longer before more complex syntactic material, whereas what she terms 'timing-based' pauses (after already spoken material), tend to reflect prosodic structure. There is also a relationship between pause placement, prosodic structure, and syntactic disambiguation across a range of languages (e.g., Price et al., 1991; Jun, 2003). In general, tasks that require greater cognitive load on the speaker or that require them to perfom a more complex task other than reading from a prepared script result in longer pauses . . .. For example, Grosjean and Deschamps (1975) found that pauses are more than twice as long during description tasks (1,320 ms) than during interviews (520 ms) . . .." (Janet Fletcher, "The Prosody of Speech: Timing and Rhythm." The Handbook of Phonetic Sciences, 2nd ed., edited by William J. Hardcastle, John Laver, and Fiona E. Gibbon. Blackwell, 2013)
The Lighter Side of Pauses: Joke-Telling
"[A] critical feature in the style of all stand-up comedians is a pause after the delivery of the punch line, during which the audience laughs. The comic usually signals the onset of this critical pause with marked gestures, facial expressions, and altered voice intonation. Jack Benny was known for his minimalist gestures, but they were still discernible, and worked wonderfully. A joke will fail if the comic rushes to his next joke, providing no pause for audience laughter (premature ejokulation)—this is comedy's recognition of the power of the punctuation effect. When the comic continues too soon after delivery of his punch line, he not only discourages, and crowds-out, but neurologically inhibits audience laughter (laftus interruptus). In show-biz jargon, you don't want to 'step on' your punch line." (Robert R. Provine, Laughter: A Scientific Investigation. Viking, 2000)

Neil Kavey Receives the Mark O. Hatfield Public Policy Award
WESTCHESTER, Ill. – Neil B. Kavey, MD, received the American Academy of Sleep Medicine's (AASM) Mark O. Hatfield Public Policy Award for 2008.
"Dr. Kavey is an accomplished sleep scientist whose dedication to seeking appropriate solutions for people suffering from sleep disorders makes him a true patient advocate," said Mary Susan Esther, MD, AASM president. "His commitment to expanding research into some of the most complex sleep disorders has enhanced the public's understanding of the importance of sleep and of consulting with a sleep specialist for a suspected sleep problem. I congratulate Dr. Kavey, a fine sleep professional, on receiving the Mark O. Hatfield Public Policy Award, and I commend him for his many years of service to the field of sleep medicine."
Dr. Kavey received the award on June 9 in Baltimore, Md., at SLEEP 2008, the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS).
Dr. Kavey is a clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University in New York, and is the founding director of The Sleep Disorders Center at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, which has become one of the leading sleep disorders centers in the country. He is one of a very small number of physicians to be certified in psychoanalysis. Recently he opened the sleep research laboratory at Rockefeller University and started its first project, a study of sleep in breast-cancer survivors. Dr. Kavey was also instrumental in organizing the New York State Society of Sleep Medicine (NYSSSM), serving as president from 1999 through 2005. Under his leadership, the NYSSSM successfully opposed state legislation that would have hindered the practice of sleep medicine by restricting the profession of sleep technology.
Dr. Kavey received a medical degree from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He completed an internship in straight medicine at St. Luke's Hospital Center in New York and a residency in psychiatry at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was chief resident. Dr. Kavey also completed psychoanalytic training at The Columbia University Psychoanalytic Institute.
The Mark O. Hatfield Public Policy Award, established in 1996, acknowledges an individual who has developed public policy that positively affects the healthy sleep of all Americans. This contribution is unique, yet vital, to the advancement of the field. Retired United States Senator Mark O. Hatfield (R-Ore.) has continually supported sleep medicine initiatives and policy. His work on behalf of the field has been instrumental in increasing NIH funding for sleep, increasing public awareness of sudden infant death syndrome, establishing the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research, and supporting the nationally recognized sleep disorders research at the Oregon Health Science University. Senator Hatfield also chaired the transportation appropriations subcommittee, and in that capacity he introduced the driver fatigue initiative, which passed in 1995.
SLEEP 2008 is a four-day scientific meeting featuring an international body of more than 5,000 leading researchers and clinicians in the field of sleep medicine.
AASM is a professional membership organization dedicated to the advancement of sleep medicine and sleep-related research.

Coca-Cola (KO) is one of the best investments you can make. So is Procter & Gamble (PG) Warren Buffet said he would never get rid of or sale those 2 stocks ever. So if Warren Buffet said that about those stocks then you know they are really good. Coca-Cola has increased it's divided ever year for the last 50 years.
Good points. While I don't agree with Warren Buffet politically, he knows how to make money.
With any investment there are certain things to consider prior to deciding which stocks to own. The timeline you have until retirement plays a big role. Sometimes when the market takes a steep drop, it can take awhile to recover. If you don't have the time to wait that out, then those particularly volatile stocks won't be the right choice. Tolerance for risk is another element to consider. If you have both the time and the tolerance, high growth stocks are the way to go. If you don't have one or the other or either, then stable, dividend paying stocks are a better choice. Your goals also play a role. Are you looking for a moderate growth rate with safer investments just until your child is ready for college or are you young and looking to go aggressive for the next few years to grow your portfolio as quickly as possible? So many things go into the decision about which stocks to choose. It's not as simple as which stocks are good ones. Depends on so many things. But good fundamentals and technical analysis are definitely ways to evaluate a stock.


Green onions, snow peas, kale, radish, spinach. I also took a small bucket of cold water to the garden along with the harvest basket. As I cut parsley, it went directly into the bucket along with Flashy Trout Back lettuce. The tender young leaf lettuce and the last of the garden peas seem to be the baby bunny rabbit's favorites as well.
It won't be long before it's time to pull the onions and garlic. The recent rains has been a big help. Everything is growing fast.
The snow peas will be a stir fry with the last of the asparagus and shrimp.
Today's Harvest Basket 6/1/14 Picked a few baby butter head lettuces and lots of leaf lettuces like Flashy Trout Back, Oakleaf, Garden Ferns.
It's wilted lettuce on tonight's menu. Patsy Bell Hobson.
Picked lots of Russian Kale "Wild Garden Frills" (seed from Renee's Garden). Despite being wild, it's also quite mild. Tore up some small leaves to add to our salad tonight. Will use the rest in a green rice dish.
Picked a few baby butter head lettuces and lots of leaf lettuces like Flashy Trout Back, Oakleaf, Garden Ferns.
There are onions and radishes picked yesterday, so it's wilted lettuce on tonight's menu.
It's just too bad that we can't have home-grown lettuce and tomatoes at the same time. Usually lettuce comes to an end about the time cherry tomatoes start coming on.
A broken transplant or starter tomato might have been a disaster.
Tomato plants want to live.
All you need to do is stick the broken stem in the ground and plant the rooted base.
Don't forget to keep these starts well watered and protected from the hottest sun until till they are well rooted and starting to branch.
It will be the same as planting two tomato plants. Meaning double the tomatoes as planned.
This tomato is Gold Medal, a big old heirloom producing 1/2 to 1 pound size yellow globes with red streaking.
The salad has no recipe, just combine basil, tomato and mozzarella. drizzle a bit of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.

Under Government plans, the current flat fee would be scrapped and instead charges would be based on the value of the estate, as we reported here in February.
However, following scrutiny of the proposals by the parliamentary joint committee on statutory instruments, there are questions over the Lord Chancellor's power to impose the new fees. In doing so, it seems Liz Truss would be acting beyond her powers, as the proposals amount to a tax rather than a fee.
Constitutionally, there can be no taxation without the consent of parliament, and therefore the new fee structure will have to be considered by both Houses, which is due to happen after Easter. This is likely to cause a delay in the new fees coming into force, and may even lead to the proposals being scrapped altogether.
Check our website for further details over the coming weeks.

Amberes es la octava novela editada del escritor chileno Roberto Bolaño, publicada por la Editorial Anagrama en Barcelona, España en 2002.

El libro muestra diversos trazos de historias que se entrelazan de manera confusa, utilizando un lenguaje experimental, más de narrativa poética que en el resto de sus novelas. Su título se refiere a la ciudad belga de Amberes, si bien esta no juega ningún rol en la obra.

La obra está dedicada a sus dos hijos, Alexandra y Lautaro. En el libro dice que fue escrita a lo largo de varios años, al menos teniéndose una versión preliminar en 1980, a juzgar por el último capítulo, denominado «Post scriptum» y firmado ese año en Barcelona. No obstante, en una nota escrita por el autor para el libro La Universidad Desconocida, el mismo indica que fue escrita en 1980 mientras trabajaba de vigilante nocturno en el camping Estrella de Mar de Castelldefels. La versión publicada va precedida de una nota introductoria de tres páginas titulada «Anarquía total: Veintidós años después» y firmada por Bolaño en Blanes en 2002, última ciudad en la que vivió.

En una entrevista en 2003, pocos meses antes de fallecer, el propio autor se refirió a esta novela en los siguientes términos:

Argumento
Las historias transitan entre la de un policía extraviado entre Castelldefels y Barcelona, una joven pelirroja perdida en un camping, uno o más crímenes ambiguos y misteriosos, un vagabundo jorobado que vive en un bosque, la proyección de una película en dicho bosque, escenas sadomasoquistas que aparecen y desaparecen abruptamente, un mar desierto que hace desaparecer a las personas que se ven desde lejos.

Estructura
El libro está dividido en pequeños capítulos de no más de tres páginas cada uno, algunos de los cuales solo tienen la extensión de un párrafo. Probablemente haya varios narradores, uno de los cuales es un joven Bolaño alrededor del 1980, mientras vivía en Barcelona. A lo largo del texto se entrelazan diálogos, pensamientos o recuerdos con frecuencia.

El prefacio del libro incluye una cita de Pascal, y el primer capítulo va precedido por una del productor cinematográfico David O. Selznick.

Luego de la muerte del autor, se encontró el manuscrito original de este libro en una libreta titulada «Narraciones 1980» dentro de un apartado llamado «El Jorobadito»; además de una versión mecanografiada sin título ni fecha, pero seguramente escrita (a juzgar por la máquina de escribir que se utilizó para ella) en 1983 o 1984.

Lista de capítulos

Recepción y crítica

Para el escritor Jorge Volpi, esta es una obra «regular» del autor, que no obstante pone al mismo nivel de Amuleto, novela que en general ha sido celebrada por la crítica.

Análisis de la obra

Esta obra pertenece a lo que podría llamarse post-infrarrealismo.

En esta obra aparece un sueño visual, que tras ser interpretado por el narrador, este agrega «supongo que ya poca estética [sic] queda en mí». Dicho sueño aparece varios años más tarde en la aclamada novela del autor Los detectives salvajes (1998) como un poema titulado «Sión» escrito por la antigua estridentista y fundadora de la primera versión del real visceralismo, Cesárea Tinajero. Esta frase de Amberes, para las investigadoras Andrea Cobas y Verónica Garibotto, son significativas para entender la aparición del poema en Los detectives salvajes, ya que en dicha obra Tinajero simboliza el fracaso de las vanguardias de los años 1920.

La Universidad Desconocida
En 2007 se publicó un libro póstumo de poesía de Bolaño llamado La Universidad Desconocida, que incluye, además de poemas inéditos y otros presentes en otros libros de poesía anteriormente publicados tales como Fragmentos de la Universidad Desconocida (1992), Los perros románticos (1993) o Tres (2000), la totalidad de esta obra, con cambios mínimos e incluyendo un breve pasaje adicional llamado «El brillo de la navaja» y quitando la nota introductoria. Además cambia el nombre del libro por el de Gente que se aleja, y los pasajes «Tenía el pelo rojo», «Veintisiete años», «No puedes regresar» y «Barrios obreros» pasan a llamarse, respectivamente, «El policía se alejó», «27 años», «Noche silenciosa» y «Automóviles vacíos».

SOCAN mourns passing of JUNO-winning Love Inc. member Brad Daymond
Story by Howard Druckman | August 15, 2018
SOCAN is mourning the passing of our member Brad Daymond, best known for co-writing the hits "Broken Bones" and "You're a Superstar" as a member of JUNO Award-winning dance trio Love Inc., and also known in the music industry for his work with boy-band 'N Sync at the height of their popularity. Daymond, originally from Barrie, Ontario, passed away August 3, 2018, at age 48, from complications due to cardiac arrest.
Daymond worked alongside DJ Chris Sheppard and singer Simone Denny in Love Inc., who earned two JUNO Awards, both for Best Dance Recording, in 1999 for "Broken Bones" and in 2001 for "Into the Night." The group topped the charts with a handful of dance singles that garnered heavy rotation on MuchMusic, and achieved an unexpected second wave of popularity in Europe years later. "You're a Superstar," a co-write with Sheppard and Vince Degiorgio – who co-wrote extensively with Daymond for Love Inc. – has become an enduring favourite to this day in the U.K., resonating deeply with people there.
After Love Inc. disbanded, Daymond formed a production duo with Alex Greggs, Riprock 'n' Alex G – for which Degiorgio served as the A&R representative – and rode a wave of teen pop to great success. Together, the duo produced remixes for the likes of Britney Spears, Ricky Martin, Jessica Simpson, and Christina Aguilera, that often appeared on their singles. Some remixes of 'N Sync's early singles were noticed by the group, and Daymond was hired to co-write two songs for their second album No Strings Attached in 2000. He also co-created three songs for their third album, Celebrity, in 2001. Daymond continued to write, on projects including Schizophrenic, 'N Sync member JC Chasez's debut album. He also served as a judge on the television singing competition Popstars 2.
"It didn't matter what the project, Brad was always my first pick for working on everything from Republica to 'N Sync," says Degiorgio, a longtime music publisher who founded, owns and operates Cymba Music Publishing, and now serves as President of the Board of Directors of The Canadian Music Publishers Association. "He was incredibly generous in the studio. When you wrote with him, you really did write with him. He had talent to burn, and half the time we were laughing in the studio. Whenever we wrote, he just wanted to win the day, and on most days, we did. For me, 'Superstar' was only a part of Brad's story; as a writer, he composed hooks and melodies like a meteor, and made it easy for his co-writers. He was that good. Whether in my capacity as a songwriter, or an A&R guy when he teamed up with his partner Alex Greggs, I could always trust him to get what I wanted."
SOCAN extends its deepest condolences to Daymond's family and friends, both inside and outside of the music industry.

Robert Paquette's "Bleu et blanc" to be inducted into Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame
Story by Nick Fedor | August 21, 2018
The Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame (CSHF) and the Festival international de la chanson de Granby (FICG) are proud to announce that the song "Bleu et blanc" – written by Franco-Ontarian songwriter Robert Paquette – will be inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. The induction will happen on Aug. 26, 2018, live from the Scène Desjardins, during the closing concert of the 50th edition of FICG. "I've always maintained good relations with the Festival," says Paquette, who was a finalist during the 1971 edition, before winning the People's Choice Award in 1972. "I'm super-happy that the induction will take place there!"
"Bleu et blanc" was deemed a SOCAN Classic in 2001, for having aired more than 25,000 times on the radio. It was also included in a list of 150 popular songs compiled by Le Journal de Montréal for Canada's 150th anniversary.
"This year, the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame is collaborating with the country's most dynamic festivals and music-related events to pay homage to the musical legacy of those various regions," said CSHF Executive Director Vanessa Thomas. "We're delighted to induct Robert Paquette's iconic song 'Bleu et blanc,' and to be right there — alongside our partners at the Festival international de la chanson de Granby – to celebrate that induction with him."
Paquette was the first Franco-Ontarian to record a professional studio album. The singer-songwriter was driving home to play a concert in Sudbury in 1976 – from his base in Montréal, where he was pursuing a solo career – when the song came to him in its entirety. Paquette was so struck by it that he stopped at a pay phone to call home, saying, "I've just come up with a really good song."
To Paquette's surprise, two Montréal radio stations, CKOI and CHOM, both included it in their rotation. "Because the song was unusually long, at more than six minutes, I didn't think it would get commercial radio airplay, but the public reaction was really good. Listeners began asking CKOI and CHOM to air it, and it took off." "Bleu et blanc" was on its way to becoming a classic of the French-Canadian music scene.
"Bleu et blanc" deals with passion and emotional symbols. The song begins with the singer re-telling his chance encounter with an old, down-and-out hobo, in which he asks if the old man has given up hope. His wise reply proves to be a valuable life lesson that both surprises and influences the singer. Paquette intended the colourful kites in the chorus ("Bleu et blanc, vert et rouge/Sont les couleurs des cerfs-volants," or in English, "blue and white, green and red, are the colours of kites") to represent flags: red for the Canadian flag, blue and white for Québec's fleur-de-lis, and green and white for a new flag that had recently been proposed for Franco-Ontarians; white represents purity and red represents passion. The song's kite imagery also suggests freedom – freedom to go with the wind and freedom from practical necessities.
Paquette was born in 1949 in Sudbury, Ontario. From the mid-1980s he wrote music for theatre and did television work. His song "Jamaica" is another SOCAN Classic, and Radio-Canada ranked him No. 1 on its list of the most important Franco-Ontarian musicians.

Emilie LeBel joins Toronto Symphony Orchestra as Affiliate Composer
Award-winning music creator and SOCAN member Emilie LeBel was selected as the Toronto Symphony Orchestra's new Affiliate Composer on Aug. 8, 2018.
The Affiliate Composer two-year residency is one of the most significant and prestigious opportunities for an emerging composer in Canada. It provides a chance to compose at least two works for one of the country's finest orchestras, allows the composer to gain insights into the complexities of programming at the highest artistic level, and catapults them to national, and even international, prominence.
In the role of TSO Affiliate Composer, LeBel will be fully integrated into all areas of the organization, with access to its inner workings, and will also participate in educational work with young audiences as part of the orchestra's community-engagement programs. She'll work closely with TSO Interim Artistic Director Sir Andrew Davis, Composer Advisor Gary Kulesha, and the artistic staff. LeBel succeeds Jordan Pal, who held the Affiliate Composer position from September 2015 to August 2018.
Described as having a "deft compositional hand, unwilling to hurry ideas," and a style that's "impressively subtle and sensuous," LeBel specializes in concert-music composition focusing on textural landscapes, resonance, and variances in colour. Her compositions have been performed and/or recorded across North and South America, Europe, and the U.K. Her honours include the Toronto Arts Foundation Emerging Artist Award, Canadian Music Centre Toronto Emerging Composer Award, and the Canadian Federation of University Women Elizabeth Massey Award. LeBel has completed a Doctorate in Composition at the University of Toronto, a BFA and MA in Music at York University, and an Honours Diploma in Audio Engineering at The Harris Institute for the Arts.
"Emilie is one of the most exciting young talents in the world of contemporary composition. Her music reflects her intelligence and audaciousness," says Sir Andrew Davis. "Emilie brings to us her exceptional energy and versatility. Already known as an engaging communicator, and respected for her passionate advocacy work, she'll be a brilliant ambassador for the TSO. I'm thrilled to welcome Emilie to the TSO's artistic team."

Guess who owns 770,000 shares now valued at $70 million in the new mega-conglomerate AOL Time Warner? Jane Fonda received them as a wedding gift 8 years ago from estranged hubby Ted Turner (no wonder she's dumpin' the old man) . . . "Toy Story 2″ has become 2nd-highest-grossing animated film of all-time, with a current box office total of $220 million ("The Lion King" is #1) . . . Just weeks after purchasing a $6.5-million estate in London, Madonna has decided to sell it – because security advisors told her it wasn't safe (now she's looking into buying George Harrison's place) . . . And Madonna will NOT be performing at the Super Bowl as previously announced, due to a "busy recording schedule" (translated — she no longer performs in 'domes').
Catherine Zeta-Jones has dumped out of Oliver Stone's upcoming love story "Beyond Borders", in which she was to co-star with Kevin Costner (you could use these 2 names to start a 'Who's Hot and Who's Not' list) . . . George Clooney will play the Frank Sinatra role in a remake of the 'Rat Pack' classic "Ocean's 11″ . . . Mel Gibson's production company is making a TV movie about the backstage lives of the Three Stooges, with Michael Chiklis (once TV's "The Commish") in the Curly role (so who should play Larry and Moe?).
Today is the "90th Anniversary of Radio Broadcasting". In 1910, Lee Deforest broadcast the voice of Enrico Caruso and other opera stars to receivers throughout NYC, where a handful of avid listeners heard the 'wireless transmission' through earphones, the world's first 'public broadcast'.

Keep it Simple…. Keep it Real.
Sounds easy, huh?? Well, turns out (sometimes) it's not so easy.
Sometimes we become trapped by the Illusions of Life, and it's hard to break free.
it's also a time for self-reflection.
This year I reflected upon the importance of "Keeping it Simple and Real".
Reminding myself to slow down and strive for clarity, balance and harmony.
And remembering, sometimes the challenges in our lives, often teach us the best lessons.
Reaganomics resulted in the greatest Wall Street Bull Market since the 1920s.
It was an Era of Great Prosperity… generating more wealth, for American families, than any other time in US History!!
More & More & More!!
So, what insight did I gain from acquiring so much stuff during the 80s???
#2. It made life chaotic, complicated and confusing!
more meaningful things in life.
I was at a stop light and looked at the woman in the car next to me.
She was lovely and had a look of luxury.
and she had that confident smile and overall look of contentment.
In contrast, I felt worn-out, stressed, empty….
It was easy for me to believe she had what I needed.
Turns out for me, More wasn't Better and Fancy things weren't the answer!
I was faced with a choice between the two (material things or meaningful things), and I handed them all over in exchange for ___________.
I handed it all back to the hollow person I shared that life with… (on a Silver Platter in fact, LoL) and I had No Regrets.
when the truth was, I was in an empty relationship and I wasn't living my life authentically.
I longed for something simple and real.
it just wasn't a good fit for me.
Full Circle, where I belong, where I want to be.
Ironically, my sister sent me this Birthday Card which pretty much sums it up!!
Keep It Simple, Keep It Real & Smile Along The Way!!!
