Special Night at Tula's tonight!
from Bill Anschell:
Tonight will be a special evening at Tula's. The club's owner, Mack Waldron, is receiving a "Jazz Hero" award from the Jazz Journalists Association; he's one of two dozen jazz advocates around the country chosen for the honor.
At the bottom of this email, you can read Mack's bio, put together by KPLU host (and JJA board member) Robin Lloyd. What isn't mentioned, and is unknown to many people, is that Mack kept Tula's open when it wasn't in his financial interest to do so; he knew the club's importance to the local jazz community and didn't want to let down the musicians who play there.
He's also probably the only jazz club owner in the country who tunes his own piano, almost daily, and very well. It's always a treat to play there, and the jazz scene wouldn't be nearly the same without it. I'm honored that Mack chose my trio to help celebrate his well-deserved award.
At 6:30 the award presentation will take place, then at 7:30 my trio will hit the stage. It's my Standards Trio, with bassist Jeff Johnson and drummer D'Vonne Lewis. None of the music is pre-arranged, and Jeff and D'Vonne always manage to surprise me (which is what spontaneous arrangements are all about).
The goods:
Thursday, April 30th, Tula's (www.tulas.com), $10 cover.
I'm guessing it will be a full house, so reservations are a good idea; while you're at it you can pick your own seat. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the city's best players stop by and sit in. Highly recommended.
Mack Waldron
2015 Seattle Jazz Hero
Elliott "Mack" Waldron is the proprietor of Tula's Restaurant and Jazz Club in Seattle, which for two decades has featured local and regional jazz musicians seven nights a week, filling an important cultural niche here. Seattle is just lucky enough to be Waldron's wife's hometown.
To explain: Mack began his personal association with jazz in his youth. He played in his high-school jazz band in Kilgore, Texas (in the northeastern part of the state), and continued when he attended Kilgore Junior College. He enlisted in the Navy, joined the band and eventually becoming a bandleader – making that his career for 26 years. He was stationed at Sand Point Naval Base on Lake Washington when he retired, and he and his wife Tula (yes, the club is named for her: it's a diminutive of Demetra) decided to stay.
At first, Mack worked booking musical acts, but then he decided to plunge into the business directly. "It had always been my dream to own a jazz club," he's said.
Mack knows his jazz. In the service he'd been considered a players' bandleader, and today he's considered a players' club owner. He books the bands, treats the musicians well and in turn is well respected by the musicians he hires. "We have a mutual admiration," he says. "I admire them for their musicianship, and I think they do appreciate me for providing a venue for them to perform." He acknowledges difficulties in keeping Tula's open for the past 21 years, but has always accepted them as a personal challenge. He's quick to credit the support of his family and abundance of highly talented players in the region for the club's success.
Wynton Marsalis has ranked Tula's among his top 10 clubs in the nation for USA Today, saying "This is a cool place." Tula's has been featured in DownBeat's guide to the world's "150 Great Jazz Rooms," too. Mack has been honored with Seattle's Earshot Jazz Golden Ear Award for providing a key showcase for our local musicians.
And he's trying to make sure there are more of them to come. In support of music education, Mack invites high-school bandleaders to bring their bands to the club. "Seattle has a wealth of good high-school band directors and music teachers," he believes. "The parents are also very supportive of music education. We have a wonderful education system here. It's very exciting to participate and I feel like I'm contributing something to further young musicians in the Seattle area." Which makes Mack Waldron a Jazz Hero for everyone in hailing distance, and even further.

The 7th Annual Improvised Music Project Festival
from Earshot Jazz
May 1-3, 7:30pm
UW Ethnic Cultural Center Theater, 3931 Brooklyn Ave NE
Springtime brings the possibility of better weather ahead, but it also signifies something more important for local creative music fans: the Improvised Music Project's (IMP) annual festival. This year will be the seventh IMPFest, and it promises to be one of the strongest yet. Featuring on successive nights guitarist Bill Frisell, saxophonist Chris Cheek, and iconic jazz bassist and composer Steve Swallow, all in tandem with students and professors from the UW Jazz Studies program, the three-day festival will take place May 1 through 3.
Each passing year brings further evolution and deepening of the UW Jazz Studies ecosystem, which encompasses the Racer Sessions at Café Racer, the Table & Chairs record label, monthly showcases at Café Solstice, and much more. The IMP acts as an anchor for these multiple streams of musical expression, linking the UW Jazz Studies program to the local community. UW professor and acclaimed trumpeter Cuong Vu was inspirational in encouraging students to extend their view of learning beyond the classrooms and practice spaces, and provided the spark and support for the formation of the IMP in 2008.
"Improvised Music Project" is a bit of a misnomer, as the range of approaches and styles explored varies greatly, from full-on free jazz improvisation all the way to intricately structured forms, with plenty blending in between, including experimental rock and hyper-eclectic hybrids. Compositional strategies seem to be as central an element of IMP activities as improvising.
As UW graduate student and IMP member Gregg Belisle-Chi points out, all the UW faculty have themselves collectively been involved in a tremendous number of different facets of jazz expression. This eclecticism becomes a part not just of the educational philosophy of the Jazz Studies department, but also the very DNA of the scene, as each new batch of students bring their own proclivities and talents to the mix.
"They pull out of the students what the student is already interested in, and a good student is open to anything and everything," says Belisle-Chi.
In recent years, IMPFest has seen an increasing emphasis on student participation with guest artists. Students are assigned ensembles with teachers and guest artists. The shows will culminate with guest artist sets accompanied by a shifting "house band" led by Jazz Studies faculty Bill Frisell, Cuong Vu, Ted Poor, Richard Karpen, and Luke Bergman.
Night 1 of IMPFest will feature Frisell, America's eclectic maverick of creative guitar. One of the most sought-after musicians across the music spectrum, Frisell has a well-deserved mountain of accolades and acclaim. Ranging from pastoral Americana to unhinged flights of noisy improv, Frisell's influence as both a guitarist and a composer is inescapable.
Night 2 brings to the stage St. Louis-born (and NYC resident since 1992) saxophonist Chris Cheek. Cheek's impressive resume includes a number of superb solo albums on the influential Spanish label Fresh Sound, collaborations with Brian Blade, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Guillermo Klein, and many others, and many brilliant recordings with groups under the late drummer Paul Motian.
Closing out the festival on May 3 will be Steve Swallow, a legendary figure in jazz. Swallow started his career in 1960 with pianist Paul Bley and was one of the genre's very early adopters of electric bass. He has developed an utterly distinctive tone and guitar-like approach (he even plays with a pick), and is known for his complex and lyrical solos. He is also a key composer in the post-Great American Songbook jazz repertoire, with many of his compositions such as "Falling Grace" entering the must-play canon for aspiring musicians. Bill Evans, Jim Hall, Chick Corea, and many others have covered his pieces. Swallow is also well known for long-running musical partnerships with vibraphonist Gary Burton, guitarist John Scofield, and pianist/composer Carla Bley, among many others.
IMPFest VII is not to be missed: A priceless opportunity for students, and riveting listening experience for the audience.
Tickets are $20 for general admission, $12 for students and seniors. Tickets and more information available at artsuw.org.

Hopefully, everyone is safe, stays safe, and has something fun to stitch as we weather out Hurricane Sandy. I am working on the bookmarks for Christmas gifts. Who is going to get which one? Another stash project!


It's fancy cocktails, a sumptuous dinner, great live music from the Gatlin Brothers, and dancing all night. But most of all, it's a celebration of service and country, presented with the pride that beats in every patriot's heart.
It's the Patriot's Ball, sponsored by the Dallas Military Foundation, taking place on April 22nd at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Dallas, Texas. This is the 53rd year for this terrific event, and the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society is a big part of it.
Vice Chief of Naval Operations Admiral William F. Moran is planning to attend, or his designee. Additionally, the Society President and CEO, Admiral Steve Abbot, USN (Ret.), will attend and share a few words about the Society and how their efforts honor all those who serve. Also, attending with Admiral Abbot will be Sharon Zacharias, the Director of NMCRS Fort Worth, and her husband, as well as Patricia Ott, Society Combat Casualty Assistance Visiting Nurse, and her husband.
In addition, there will be videos about the Society playing during the cocktail and dinner hours, so that everyone can see how the Society helps Sailors, Marines, and their families.
Even better, should the income from the event exceed costs, proceeds will benefit the three military relief societies, including NMCRS. With this great event, everybody wins.
Along with the other festivities at the event, a Patriot's Award will be presented to former Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson for her service to our country in the Senate and her steadfast support of the military.
For more about the event, visit www.patriotsball.org.
With wonderful events like this, our community's support of Sea Service members, and the military relief societies that support them 24/7 around the globe, keeps getting bigger and stronger. Isn't it good to know you're part that?

In 2001, Teja's association with Puri Jagannadh began when he cast Ravi as the lead role in Itlu Sravani Subramanyam.[10] The movie was a commercial hit and got Ravi Teja credibility as a solo lead actor. In 2002, his next film Avunu Valliddaru Ista Paddaru!, directed by Vamsy and co-starring Kalyani was released. The film was a successful at the box office and won Ravi acclaim.[11] The year also saw Ravi in Idiot. Directed by Puri Jagannadh and co-starring Rakshita, it was a blockbuster hit and Ravi's performance and dialogue delivery were praised by critics and movie-goers alike.[12][13]
The year also saw the release of Krishna Vamsi's Khadgam. The movie was a huge success at the box office and won the Sarojini Devi Award for a Film on National Integration. Ravi's portrayal of a young wannabe actor won him the Nandi Special Jury Award for the second time.[14] In 2003, Ravi again worked with director Puri Jagannadh for Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi. The film co-starring Asin became a blockbuster hit and Jeevi of Idlebrain praised him: "Ravi Teja did well. His strength lies in his dialogue delivery and reckless body language".[15] The year also saw Ravi working in commercially successful films such as Dongodu, co-starring Kalyani and directed by Srinivas Bheemineni and Veede, co-starring Aarthi Agarwal and directed by Ravi Raja Pinisetty. In the same year, Ravi was also seen in films such as Ee Abbayee Chala Manchodu, Anveshana and Oka Raju Oka Rani, which failed to do well at the box office.[16][17][18]
In 2004, Ravi Teja co-starred in Venky, directed by Srinu Vaitla. Idlebrain wrote: "His comedy is very good in the first half. His antics with Siddanthi and the way he curses himself in front of the mirror is hilarious".[19] He appeared in Naa Autograph directed by cinematographer turned director S. Gopal Reddy. A critic from nowrunning.com wrote: "Ravi Teja delivers a stunning performance as a dejected lover".[20] Chanti was directed by Sobhan. In 2005, Ravi Teja's work included Bhadra, directed by Boyapati Srinu and Bhageeratha, directed by Rasool Ellore. He also worked in the crime film Shock, directed by Harish Shankar and produced by Ram Gopal Varma.
In 2006, Teja worked with director S. S. Rajamouli for Vikramarkudu. This Film proved to be the highest-grossing film in Ravi Teja's career till then. Jeevi praised his performance: "Vikramarkudu is the best film of Ravi Teja so far in histrionics aspect. He did both characters of Athali Sathi Babu and Vikram Rathod equally well, His mannerism of "jintata" is simply superb".[21] Later in 2006, Ravi Teja acted in Khatarnak. In 2007, Ravi Teja worked for the third time with director Srinu Vaitla for Dubai Seenu. In 2008, Ravi Teja acted in Krishna[22] directed by V. V. Vinayak. In August 2008, Ravi Teja acted in Baladur.[23] Later in that year, Ravi Teja again collaborated with director Puri Jagganath for Neninthe.[24] Although the film was not successful at the box office, Ravi Teja's portrayal of an up-and-coming assistant director in the film received acclaim.[25]
In 2009, Ravi Teja worked with director Surender Reddy for Kick. Later that year, he appeared in Anjaneyulu. In 2010, his films included Shambo Shiva Shambo and Don Seenu, directed by Gopichand Malineni.
His first release in 2011 was Harish Shankar's Mirapakay. He later starred in Ram Gopal Varma's Dongala Mutha and made a cameo appearance in Katha Screenplay Darshakatvam Appalaraju, also directed by Ram Gopal Varma. His last release of the year was Ramesh Varma's Veera. Later after this film, he went on to become "Mass Maharaja' for his mass action scenes and nasty fights
2012–present[edit]
His first release in 2012 was Gunasekhar's Nippu. His next release was Siva's Daruvu. His next release was Puri Jagannadh's Devudu Chesina Manushulu. His last release in 2012 was Parasuram's Sarocharu Rediff.com wrote: "Ravi Teja is in a different avatar, a more subdued one. A change of image and role is necessary for an actor and Ravi Teja makes the transition fairly well".[26]
His release in 2013 was Gopichand Malineni's action entertainer Balupu. The Times of India wrote "Ravi Teja has come up with an entertaining performance. His characterization and the flashback episode as Kancharapalem Shankar looked very powerful on the screen. He gets into the skin of the character and has done well."[27] The film turned one of the biggest critical and commercial success of the year.[28][29]
In 2014, he made a cameo appearance in Sairam Shankar's Romeo and Power with debutant director K. S. Ravindra. In 2015 he starred in Kick 2, directed by Surender Reddy and produced by Nandamuri Kalyan Ram.[30] Despite huge expectations, the film was a box office failure. After this he started a film titled Bengal Tiger, directed by Sampath Nandi.[31] This film grossed nearly ₹40.5 crore (US$5.7 million)s globally and also became the 8th highest grossing Telugu film of the year.[32] [33]
After taking a sabbatical for one year, he started two films Touch Chesi Chudu and Raja the Great (2017). While Raja The Great was a huge hit, becoming Ravi Teja's career's highest grosser, Touch Chesi Chudu was a big flop in both domestic and overseas. His next film was Amar Akbar Anthony directed by Sreenu Vaitla.
Brand endorsement[edit]
Ravi Teja was signed in as brand ambassador for Lunar – footwear and sandals in two states, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.[34] He later endorsed the liquor brand Lord & Master.[35][36]

Elizabeth Sweet, PhD, is a biocultural anthropologist researching economic and racial disparities in health and an alumna of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Health & Society Scholars program (2008-2010). She was the lead author of a recent study exploring the impact of financial debt on health.
Human Capital Blog: You have published more than one study that looks at the impact of debt on health. What led to your interest in this topic?
Elizabeth Sweet: My interest is driven by both intellectual and personal reasons. As someone who studies the impact of social inequalities on health, I am interested in personal debt as a dimension of socioeconomic status, a site of racial and economic disparity, and a reflection of broader social, cultural, and political-economic forces. Also, as someone who completed education with a fair amount of debt, I am personally familiar with the profound stress that debt can cause.
HCB: College tuition is rising and more people are defaulting on student loan debt. How does student loan debt affect young people's mental and physical health?
Sweet: This is such an important question. Our study suggests that financial debt indeed impacts the health and well-being of young people—leading to higher stress and depressive symptoms, worse general health, and higher blood pressure. The specific impact of student loan debt, vs. other kinds of debt, is an open question though; the Add Health data that we used did not have that level of detail regarding the types of debt that respondents had.
HCB: This study received a lot of media coverage. Why do you think that is?
Sweet: Personal financial debt has skyrocketed in this country in recent years. Nearly everyone now has debt and, as a result, there is a lot of interest in what that means and what the implications are for people's lives, including their health and well-being. I also think that as a society we are currently grappling with important policy questions about how and to what extent we regulate the lending and credit industry; the potential health impact of debt has implications for that very public conversation.
HCB: You have said that student loan debt has long-term implications for physical health. How so?
Sweet: There is now fairly strong and consistent evidence that debt is associated with stress, and chronic stress is an important risk factor for cardiovascular and other diseases. Findings from our recent study also suggest that debt is associated with higher blood pressure in a young adult sample. Blood pressure is another important cardiovascular risk factor.
HCB: What are the implications of this study for higher education?
Sweet: I think realizing that debt can impact both mental and physical health for young people adds weight and urgency to the need to solve the student loan problem, likely through a combination of making higher education more affordable and relieving some of the debt burden that young people are struggling with.
HCB: You're embarking on a new research project on this subject. What will the focus be?
Sweet: I am collaborating with another former RWJF Health & Society Scholars program alumnus, Arijit Nandi, PhD, (2008-2010) and other colleagues at Northwestern University on an R01 research grant from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities that will examine the impact of debt on health in greater detail. Specifically, we are using national, longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) to explore the association of debt with health over time as well as the role of debt in racial and socioeconomic health disparities. We are also conducting a mixed-methods community-based study that will explore how different kinds of debt may differentially impact mental health and biomarkers of cardiovascular and metabolic risk. For instance, is the impact of high-interest payday loans on blood pressure different than that of a home mortgage?
HCB: How does this study relate to your previous research into health disparities?
Sweet: My previous work on symbolic capital suggested that consumption-based status markers are an important part of the relative deprivation pathway of health inequality, but particularly when they are inconsistent with other socioeconomic resources. In other words, I have found that individuals who consume high-status goods but have lower incomes suffer higher blood pressure and worse health.
This previous work did not directly tie those findings to debt, but the study did raise questions for me about the potential role that debt could play in the stress of competitive consumption (keeping up with the Joneses). Furthermore, my previous work has dealt with issues of racial disparities, and financial debt is an area where racial inequalities and discriminatory practices are overt: Racial and ethnic minorities are more likely to be denied loans and offered unfavorable loan terms (higher interest rates, etc.) compared to non-minorities, and predatory lenders are overrepresented in lower income and minority neighborhoods. So I think financial debt is an important issue to examine within the context of racial health disparities.
HCB: Did the RWJF Health & Society Scholars (HSS) program prepare you to work in this area and, if so, how?
Sweet: Without a doubt. The interdisciplinary environment of HSS, and the social epidemiological training and mentorship I received from HSS faculty at Harvard, were instrumental in helping me think more broadly and creatively about the health disparities topics that I study and providing me with the proper tools to ask and answer these research questions. The other scholars have also been extremely important to me and my work. Ari Nandi and I are collaborating on all of this research, and it is truly a joint, interdisciplinary effort.

A general rule of thumb about the stars of the long-running sitcom Friends is this: If they star in a film, it's probably doomed. Oh, there are exceptions (The Whole Nine Yards and Scream being the most notable of the bunch), but for whatever reason, when the individual actors try to cross over to the big screen, the movies fail.
What does that mean for Marci X, which stars Lisa Kudrow as a young Jewish woman who has to take over a hard-core rap label for her father? In and of itself, nothing. Unfortunately, there are a few other warning signs that would indicate this film might be a box office bomb. First off, there's the premise, which could be anywhere from mildly to massively offensive, depending how it's handled. Marci has to handle some negative publicity that befalls the label when a song called "Shoot Ya' Teacha" by rap artist Dr. Snatchcatcher (Damon Wayans) becomes a huge pop hit. There's even a right-wing senator (Christine Baranski) who is highly offended by Dr. Snatchcater's lyrics. The characters sound like caricatures, but it's entirely possible that trailers and commercials will show a different story. Time will tell.
Marci X is directed by Richard Benjamin, who also stars as Kudrow's father. He's had a pretty spotty record at the box office, including such films as Mermaids, The Money Pit, City Heat, and The Shrink is In. Screenwriter Paul Rudnick has delivered stuff like Addams Family Values, In & Out, and box office failure Isn't She Great. Unfortunately, none of these titles exactly inspire confidence, but then again, these guys might be due, right?
The film was originally slated for "sometime in 2002", but now that the studio has an official target date for Marci X to hit theaters, it does appear that it will at least be receiving a token release. Marketing and studio backing will be key to drawing viewers and determining success, and will go a long way toward indicating whether this is a quality product or just another formulaic comedy.

March 2017 Book of the Month | In a Nutshell: how to hope for the best even when you've been through the worst | Susin Nielsen puts her protagonists through the most terrible situations, but always manages to keep the tone of her novels light, positive and ultimately uplifting. Teenager Petula's little sister died in tragic circumstances and the effect on the family has been shattering: her parents are both coping in their own way, but growing further apart, while Petula sees danger and threats in everything. Because of her terrible anxiety she's been signed up to a youth art therapy group which is where she meets Jacob. Jacob has his own tragedy to deal with, but his arrival changes the dynamics of the group and helps all the different members to move on in one way or another. He and Petula become a couple, but there's a growing realisation for her and readers that he's not been completely honest. Readers will be gripped by Petula's story and the way she tells it; Nielsen gives her a totally authentic teen voice, loaded with cynicism, sarcasm, humour and flashes of hope.
Petula has avoided friendship and happiness ever since tragedy struck her family and took her beloved younger sister Maxine. Worse, Petula blames herself. If only she'd kept an eye on her sister, if only she'd sewn the button Maxine choked on better, if only...Now her anxiety is getting out of control, she is forced to attend the world's most hopeless art therapy class. But one day, in walks the Bionic Man: a charming, amazingly tall newcomer called Jacob, who is also an amputee. Petula's ready to freeze him out, just like she did with her former best friend, but when she's paired with Jacob for a class project, there's no denying they have brilliant ideas together - ideas like remaking Wuthering Heights with cats. But Petula and Jacob each have desperately painful secrets in their pasts - and when the truth comes out, there's no way Petula is ready for it.

The major UK indices lagged those of rival overseas bourses though 2017, though the FTSE 350 still exited last year at a then record high of 4,277, an 8 per cent annual gain, and has continued rising through the early part of this year. Depending on how you measure these things, the ongoing advance in equities is now either the second- or fifth-longest on record, but it has been achieved concurrently with what's been described as "the biggest monetary experiment in history". By any measure, we're in the late cycle stage of the bull market, the only question is how much longer is it sustainable? We might find out soon enough now the US Federal Reserve has started reducing its vast balance sheet built up in the aftermath of the global financial crisis.
Sector-by-sector screening helped us make 16 per cent total returns last year, beating the FTSE 350 index. Was this just good luck, and what are the picks for the portfolio in 2018?

Q: Filter out blank for a specific column I was wondering if there was a way to run a macro in VBA to filter out blanks for a specific column. The column currently has either -1 or blanks in the cells. I am trying to add a macro so that it removes the blanks and only leaves the -1's in the cells. Thank you.

This is the code that I am attempting to run this macro.

A: O.K.  Here is an example for blanks in column Z The rows will be hidden rather than deleted.
Sub HideSome()
    Dim rHide As Range, col As String
    col = "Z"
    Set rHide = Intersect(Range(col & ":" & col), ActiveSheet.UsedRange).Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
    rHide.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End Sub

EDIT#1
Here is a version the uses the proper tab and the proper column:
Sub HideSome()
    Dim s1 As Worksheet, s2 As Worksheet

Q: SharePoint 2013 Library retrieving all file names. REST API I have a library on Sharepoint 2013 and retrieving all the parameters (using angularjs on the client side.) using the following code.
var spListURL = siteURL + "_api/lists/getByTitle%28%27" + docLibName + "%27%29/items";
$http.get(spListURL,
{ headers: {"Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose", } }).success(function (result) {
    dfd.resolve(result);
})
.error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
    errorFactory.buildError(data, status, headers, ORIGIN_VIEW_NAME);
});

However the result does not contain the file name or file url. I need to create an anchor link to the file. It does contain the custom parameters that I have added to the List/Lib.
I have never worked with SharePoint before. The client code is a snippet of an angularjs factory and it is working (as far as js is concerened).
I do not want to make another rest call using d.result[index].File.__deffered.uri and then open the document in a new blank window.
Thanks for your help.

A: How to retrieve file name using SharePoint REST
Option 1
Via FileLeafRef List Item property
REST endpoint:
/_api/web/lists/getByTitle('<list title>')/items?$select=FileLeafRef

Option 2
Via File Name property:
REST endpoint:
/_api/web/lists/getByTitle('<list title>')/items?$select=File/Name&$expand=File

A: Try the

FileLeafRef

in your url
site/_api/web/lists/getByTitle('LibraryName')/items?$top=1000&$select=FileLeafRef

Morecambe man jailed for defrauding friends, ex-partner and colleagues out of nearly £90,000
Man suffers broken jaw after being attacked and robbed by gang of thugs in Lancaster
Join Fiona Frank on a Musical Journey to boost funds for two Lancashire charities
Music lover Fiona Frank has organised the final in a series of Musical Journeys concerts to boost funds for two Lancashire charities.
By Fiona Finch
Tuesday, 28th December 2021, 1:34 pm
Fiona is hoping for a bumper audience for Musical Journeys 4 on January 8.
The event can be viewed online on Zoom and, pandemic permitting, there will also be 50 tickets avaialble to wathh the event live at Halton Mill, Halton, near Lancaster.
Fiona said: "It's a dark time of the year and we're hoping to bring somne light in with the last of our Musical Journeys concerts. The last three were really exciting."
Fiona Frank - who, with the aid of helpers, has organised Musical Journeys 4
The first concert raised more than £2,000 and former Prestonian Fiona, who now lives near Lancaster, said: " We've gone from strength to strength with these events, raising over £7,000 in total for our musicians and our two chosen charities."
Donations have been given to based Global Link Development Education Centre (DEC) which works with refugees, and A.C.E, a which works with young people with mental health challenges in Lancaster, Morecambe, Fleetwood, Kirkham and Carnforth. The musicians, who lost much of their work during the pandemic lockdown were paid for their Musical Journeys' performances.
The January 8 concert starts at 7.30PM will feature local band Boom Bike Bourrée, described as " a joyous mix of medieval dance music and hip-hop beats", Lancaster's renowned melodeon player Ben Farmer plus a streamed performance of Syrian dance with dancer Medhat Aldaabal and percussionist Ali Hasan, live from Berlin.
Fiona said: "I'm really excited to bring them back because it's my personal favourite of the acts we've had throughout the year. I first met Medhat at a Klezmer festival in Germany and then invited him to come to dance in Glasgow in 2019. He's being accompanied by an Arab percussionist and it is being live streamed from Berlin."

Tickets can be pre-ordered and Fiona said: "We're relying on the people who've come with us on our wonderful Musical Journeys in 2021 to get your tickets in advance for this show. If we sell enough advance tickets we'll be booking at least one more act who will either join us live on stage or will be beamed in from across the world.
"Again, as well as paying our great performers (who are only just able to resume professional engagements) we're raising money for Lancaster charities Global Link supporting refugees and asylum seekers, and A.C.E. Achieve Change and Engagement (ACE) working with young people with emotional health challenges. Both of these charities have increased the numbers of people they're working with and have more and more calls on their services. "
Fiona added: "If you buy a ticket to this event, but find that you can't make it at the last minute , or even if you know already that you won't be able to make it, there's no problem, we'll send you a link to the recording afterwards."
Tickets are £15/£10 for the live performance, £10/£2.50 for the online concert, £25 for a supporter's ticket and are free for refugees and asylum seekers. To book see www.tinyurl.com/musicaljourneys4 or go to trybooking.co.uk and search for 'Musical Journeys'.
* Musical Journeys 1 featured four Lancaster musicians Sian Phillips, Paul Sherwood, Jane Lawrence and Ben Farmer, joined by Syrian viola player Raghad Haddad.
* Musical Journeys 2 featured musicians from the first concert plus champion Irish musician and dancer Bev Whelan. There were also afternoon workshops – Caribbean dance with "Uncle Phil" Preston based world champion dancer Phil Kaila; Irish dance with Bev Whelan; clog dance with Georgia Shorrocks, north east England based clog dancer and clog dance teacher and Helen Whittaker, Cumbria step dancer; Syrian dance with Medhat Aldaabal and Mouafat Aldoabl, from Berlin, accompanied by percussionist Ali Hassan; and Klezmer dance with Fiona Frank who was the compere for the evening.
* Musical Journeys 3 in June feaured three performers in the evening: Boom Bike Bourrée, from Bristol and Sevilay Gok from Turkey and afternoon workshops comprising a beatbox workshop with community music leader Ashley Murphy, a harmony singing workshop from the acclaimed Yandong Grand Singers from China, an Arabic drumming workshop with Ali Hasan, and a Salsa and Caribbean Dance workshop with Phil Kaila.

Q: How to test a simple method that returns void in Cypress? I have the following function that I'd like to test with Cypress:
let stopped = false; // global variable

export const = stopDoingStuff = () => {
 stopped = true;
}

I want to test if the methods sets the variable stopped to true, after calling it.
This is my current state. I don't know how the check the global variable after calling the function...
it('should set stopped to true', async () => {
  let stopped = false;
  stopDoingStuff();
  expect(stopped).to.equal(true);
});

A: It's always better to also mention what the result of your code is.
But I can see that variable stopDoingStuff is exported, so I assume the whole piece of code is in a separate module. Since stopped variable is not exported, you can't access it from anywhere but the module it's in.


David Chase, in-person assister with the Jannus: "Let's face it; it is the Affordable Care Act," with particular emphasis on affordable.
There's a reason that David Chase didn't use the word "Obamacare" Jan. 8 while detailing the ins and outs of the Idaho Health Insurance Exchange: His audience couldn't have cared less about the politics surrounding theAffordable Care Act.
But just to make certain that he's sensitive to his audience, Chase said he usually takes the political temperature of the room.
But on this particular day, Chase sat in front of a group of Idahoans who were rich in diversity but unified in their interest–they were looking to save some money while securing health care.
And while not everyone is finding those cost savings, Chase–a so-called "in-person assister" from Boise-based Jannus–said some have had better luck than others in keeping some money in their pocket.
And those rebates–a lynchpin of the ACA–was a main topic of conversation as Chase facilitated the latest in a string of workshops held at the Collister Branch of the Boise Public Library.
Chase pointed to a chart (see it in the upper right column) that outlined who qualifies for those rebates under the new law.
"And those credits range anywhere to 2 [percent] to 9.5 percent of your income," said Chase.
Currently, the Idaho exchange includes health care coverage from four carriers–Blue Cross of Idaho, BridgeSpan, PacificSource and SelectHealth–and each provides plans in four categories: platinum, gold, silver and bronze. Simply put, the bronze plans cost a lot less but has high deductibles and co-pays. Conversely, platinum plans cost more but have very low deductibles and co-pays. Chase said bronze plans cover approximately 60 percent of what an insured person might normally pay for health care in a year; the remaining 40 percent would be the approximate out-of-pocket expenses that a patient would incur through doctor visits, treatments and prescriptions.
And that's when Chase gave his first "inside tip" to the attendees who were still doing some comparative shopping on the exchange.
In Idaho, the four approved carriers offer a total of 43 different plans through the exchange: 14 bronze plans, 15 silver, 11 gold and two platinum.
But no matter what the plan–from bronze to platinum–every new policy offered through the exchange includes what the ACA mandates to be "essential health benefits": chronic disease management, emergency services, hospitalization, lab services, maternity and newborn care, mental health and substance abuse services, outpatient services, pediatric care (including vision and dental), prescription drugs, preventive and wellness services, and rehabilitation services and devices.
As for additional benefits, it still takes consumers a fair amount of research and more than a few phone calls to figure out what's covered and what's not. For example, alternative medicine–including acupuncture, chiropractic care, massage therapy and other homeopathic treatments. According to the National Institutes of Health, about four in 10 American adults are using some form of alternative medicine.
Section 2706 of the 2,400-page ACA requires that insurance companies "shall not discriminate" against any state-licensed health care provider. But that doesn't mean that insurance carriers in Idaho are required to include alternative treatments as part of the "essential health benefits" even if the services are provided by state-licensed providers.
Chase paused before he answered.
Boise Weekly contacted the Your Health Idaho call center to find out who did and who didn't, but we were ultimately directed elsewhere.
"What you need to do is call the individual insurance carriers to verify if their plans include alternative services," said Ian, a Your Health Idaho customer service rep.
And when BW contacted each of the approved carriers in the exchange, we got a mixed bag of answers.
A customer service representative from PacificSource told BW that all of the plans they offered through the exchange would include coverage for alternative care, including acupuncture and chiropractic services but not massage therapy. And representatives from BridgeSpan and Select Health said some of their plans included coverage for chiropractic services, but not acupuncture or massage.
George Meintel, a 60-year-old salmon fisherman who splits his time between Alaska and Idaho, said his reason for attending David Chase's presentation came down to how much money he might be able to save if he were to cancel his current policy and secure new coverage through the exchange.
But he'll need to shake a leg. If Meintel were to secure new coverage this week, it wouldn't be effective until March 1 (any policy purchased after the 15th of the month has to wait a month and a half before it's in effect). Additionally, this year's cutoff for signing up through the exchange is March 31.
As BW was going to press, approximately 19,922 Idahoans had signed up for coverage through the exchange. Idaho is aiming to have at least 40,000 enrolled in 2014.

    </TableRow>
</TableLayout>

First of all the first doubt I had was about the tag. I don't know if I'm right but as I've read, these are used for when we have many buttons with the same onClick event, they are all grouped with the same tag and so we do not have to write the same code many times. What I can not understand, is where is capturing the number that corresponds to that button, ie: how does Android Studio know that when I press the button that has 1, should place that 1? I don't see any line of code where I say it, or at least not something I know, that's why I come to you.

A: I think it is the line
password_field.append((v as TextView).text)

I would need more of the code or the layout file etc. but from the code that you have posted, this seems to be the line that would do it.
