I have pulled together all the guides and information from the website that I think will be useful to anyone looking to gain a better understanding of the architectural design process. We look at developing the client brief, working on the site analysis, developing concepts and much more.
Many of these articles have a pdf version you can download, and save to your computer for easy reference later on.
I hope you find these useful as you start your design process!
The architectural design process can be approached in a number of ways by different designers, in this post we explore the process.
In this article we list out some really great advice to help you develop and understand the design brief. We look at communicating with the client, and what sort of questions to ask in order to help the client develop the brief.
This article is packed full of advice for carrying out an architectural site analysis. We look at why you take a site analysis, the different things to look for, desktop studies, a complete checklist. Then we move on to evaluating the analysis and finally presenting the data you have collected.
In this post, I look at data mapping and visualisation. As architects, we need to collect various types of data to inform our design. Here, we look at the data we are collecting, and how to visualise this data in order to gain insights into the project and aid development of design solutions.
In architecture, precedents are used widely and you will no doubt be asked to refer to precedents during your educational and professional career. In this article we explore what a precedent is, and how to use a precedent to inform your design.
In this article we look at how to develop an architectural concept. What is a concept, a design philosophy and a design problem? We will look at all of these and unpick them one by one.
Prior to starting the design, it is necessary to define the parameters of the project, and draw upon the extensive research that has been carried out so far.
We look at the basics of designing with form. Specifically we will start by looking at form and how it responds to conditions of function, purpose and context.
In this post we look at the basis of designing openings in your project. Some things to consider include position, light and view.
As part of our Design Basics series we are looking at many of the different aspects of the architectural design process. In this post we explore passive solar design.

I am a financial member of the Australian Republican Movement. Due to a prior commitment, I will not be present tonight when the Prime Minister addresses the ARM's 25th anniversary dinner at the University of Sydney.
Malcolm Turnbull's decision to break bread with the ARM has attracted some, but not much, criticism from within conservative circles. Philip Benwell, chairman of the Australian Monarchist League, was quoted as saying the Prime Minister's gesture to the organisation, which he led between 1993 and 2000, could split the Liberal Party.
This is pure hyperbole. There is no evidence that any Liberal parliamentarian would leave their party over so trivial a matter. Sure, there would be serious conflict if the Prime Minister committed the Coalition to another referendum on the republic any time soon. But this is most unlikely.
It is not clear what Turnbull will say tonight, but nothing has changed since he made the following statement on the occasion of succeeding Tony Abbott as prime minister: "The republic issues cannot belong to a politician; it's got to be a genuine popular movement. My own view … is that the next occasion for the republic referendum to come is going to be after the end of the Queen's reign."
Turnbull added that, while he remained a republican, there were many more immediate issues that required his attention. This remains so.
Peter FitzSimons, the ARM's current chairman, takes a different view. He issued a statement that he was "thrilled" the Prime Minister was attending the ARM's 25th anniversary but added that the organisation "has no intention of celebrating its 30th anniversary". FitzSimons believes there will be "an Australian head of state within the next five years".
It seems FitzSimons does not understand the practical problems in Australia becoming a republic by, say, Australia Day 2022. Or that he is part of the problem, not the solution.
In view of the fact the republican movement was divided at the time of the 1999 referendum — and that some republicans voted no because they wanted a directly elected president — the result was not a shattering defeat for the ARM under the leadership of Turnbull, but a loss nevertheless.
The national vote was 45.1 per cent yes to 54.9 per cent no. Since any constitutional change requires a majority of all Australians in a majority of states, the yes case must carry at least four states. Here, in 1999 the ARM did not get close. It did moderately well in Victoria (49.8 per cent) and NSW (46.4 per cent), but not so well in South Australia (43.6 per cent), Western Australia (41.5 per cent), Tasmania (40.4 per cent) and Queensland (37.4 per cent).
To get a republican referendum up before the end of 2021, the ARM has to convince the government of the day to put the matter to the people. Then the yes case has to prevail in NSW, Victoria and (perhaps) South Australia and Western Australia.
This is a hugely difficult task under any leadership but especially if FitzSimons continues to head the ARM. The yes cause can rely on support from Greens voters and significant support from inner-city Coalition and Labor voters. But, as in 1999, support for an Australian head of state is lower in the outer suburbs along with regional and rural areas. In his column in Fairfax Media's The Sun-Herald each Sunday, FitzSimons rants against Australians with whom he disagrees, despite the fact he would need the support of at least some of them for the ARM's cause to prevail. For example, on December 4, FitzSimons described religious believers as following a "Magic Sky Daddy" deity.
FitzSimons sneers especially at conservative Catholics but also at mainstream Christians (despite the fact his two sons were educated at a Uniting Church school).
A particular target of FitzSimons is Cardinal George Pell, one of Australia's best-known republicans. FitzSimons's ridicule of a fellow republican has even gone so far as alleging that Pell lives in a "$30 million mansion in Rome". This is a wilful falsehood that Fairfax Media refuses to correct.
FitzSimons's targets extend beyond believers in the Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths to include right-of-centre supporters of the Coalition and right-wing Labor. He embraces the intellectually fashionable positions on issues such as asylum-seekers, climate change, euthanasia and same-sex marriage.
But as the Prime Minister will know from his experience during this year's election campaign, attitudes in suburban, rural and regional areas can be quite different from what they are in the inner cities. The task of the ARM is to win support outside of the inner cities. This is probably more difficult now than it was in 1999.
First, there is the re-emergence of minor parties, such as Pauline Hanson's One Nation, which are unlikely to embrace the thought of FitzSimons. Second, the terrorist attacks on Western democracies since the turn of the century have probably led to a situation where Australians feel closer to their traditional ally Britain. And there's the popularity of the young members of the royal family.
I will continue my membership of the ARM. But I do not expect to see an Australian head of state anytime soon.

National Assembly Clerk, Omolori, Rejects Sack By Commission
Clerk of the National Assembly, Sani Omolori, has said his continued stay in office is backed by law and cannot be voided by the National Assembly Service Commission.
NASC had in a statement by its Executive Chairman, Ahmed Amshi, on Wednesday approved the immediate retirement of Omolori and 149 others.
The tenure of the clerk and others had been a matter of controversy because of the implementation of the National Assembly Revised Condition of Service, which took effect in 2019.
But in a statement seen by SaharaReporters, Omolori said the commission does not have the powers to set aside the revised condition of service passed by the previous assembly.
He directed all staff of the legislative chamber whom the commission asked to proceed on retirement to disregard the directive and "go about their lawful duties".
Omolori is considered one of the most influential personalities in the National Assembly management.

Q: Inequality $(n!)^3$(n!)^3<n^n((n+1)/2)^{2n}$
I've been trying to solve this problem. I've tried using these relations:
$n^2(n+1/2)^2=$Sum of cubes of first n natural numbers
$(n(n+1)/2)=$Sum of first n natural numbers
But still I'm unable to solve this. Can you please help me?

A: We have for positive integer $n$,
$$n!\leq n^n\implies n!^3\leq n^{3n}< (n^3+n^2+n/4)^n=[n (n+1/2)^{2}]^n=n^n(n+1/2)^{2n}$$

A: Proof by induction:
For $n=1$ it holds.
Assume that it holds for $n$ we have to prove that it holds for $n+1$, or that:
$$
(n+1)^3\lt \frac{(n+1)^{n+1}}{n^n}\frac{(n+1+\frac12)^{2n+2}}{(n+\frac12)^{2n}}
$$
which is the same as:
$$
(n+1)^2\lt(n+1+\frac12)^2(1+\frac1n)^n(1+\frac1{n+\frac12})^{2n}
$$
or that
$$
(n+1)^2\lt(n+1+\frac12)^2
$$
which is clearly true.

A: Proving $$(n!)^3<n^n\left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2 n}$$ is the same as proving
$$3\log(n!) < n\log(n)+2n \log\left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right)$$ Using Stirling approximation for the lhs and Taylor for the rhs
$$\text{rhs - lhs}=3 n+\left(1-\frac{3}{2} \log (2 \pi  n)\right)-\frac{1}{2 n}+O\left(\frac{1}{n^2}\right)$$ which is true $\forall n \geq 1$.

Faces of Security: Scott Levy from Mayo Clinic
By Joe Bebon, Editor Feb 3, 2022 Faces of Security
Because of a family business during his childhood, Scott Levy was raised in the security industry; it's in his blood.
Now a nationally recognized healthcare security expert, Scott serves as Senior Manager of Global Security and Visitor Support for Mayo Clinic locations in Arizona. He also serves on the enterprise security leadership team for Mayo Clinic, one of the largest and highest-rated academic health systems in the U.S. In Arizona alone, Mayo Clinic takes care of over 100,000 patients annually.
Before moving to Phoenix for his current post, Scott held senior leadership roles at three Level I trauma centers in Chicago. Most recently, he served as Director of Public Safety at University of Chicago Medicine, where he helped design and implement a strategic security plan for the launch of adult trauma services.
In Total Security Advisor's latest "Faces of Security" interview below, Scott discusses his career and shares insights into some of the biggest threats facing not only Mayo Clinic, but the healthcare industry overall.
How did you get your start in the field?
It is fair to say that I grew up in the security business. My parents founded a contract security business before I was born, Levy Security Corp., which ultimately became one of the largest privately held security businesses in the region until we sold it. I worked for our company on and off growing up. Nothing glamorous—making copies, filing, picking up lunch. I eventually worked my way up to working as a security officer on night shift at a client site that was a gated community.
Unfortunately, my father died when he was 42 years old (I was 15). My mom, who had been involved early in the company's history, returned as Chairwoman and CEO. She was very supportive of my pursuing my early career plans in college, politics, and children's advocacy.
I returned home to Chicago to complete my MBA and got more involved in day-to-day operations of the business. I worked in various marketing, communications, and operational roles, ultimately leading to my first healthcare security leadership role as Director of Public Safety at Prentice Women's Hospital, part of Northwestern Medicine. Even after we sold the company, I have remained connected to the security industry in a number of interesting roles in government, university, and healthcare settings.
Who is/was your biggest influence in the industry?
My biggest influence in the industry was my dad: Barry W. Levy, CPP. My dad was a Deputy Sheriff in Cook County, Illinois—rose through the ranks to become director of training (No. 3 in the department). He started doing some consulting on the side, and from that came the genesis of Levy Security Corp. My dad saw an opportunity to improve the caliber of private security officer services in Chicago and beyond, applying some of the lessons learned through his law enforcement career and his own innovations. We did not have "guards"; we had "Public Safety Officers." In fact the term "guard" was almost a dirty word in our house growing up.
My dad enjoyed conducting inspections of his officers at all hours of the day and night, and on weekends. He instituted very rigid uniform appearance standards (the "Levy look"), and lord help you if your shoes weren't shined to a mirror polish or your uniform shirt was wrinkled. I am proud of the many thousands of security professionals who built their careers with our companies, who hold on to those values and help bring forward the next generation of security leaders. My dad set the example for leading with integrity and defining the concept of "service excellence."
What's your best mistake, and what did you learn from it?
I wouldn't call it a "mistake," but rather an "unplanned happy accident." I never anticipated living and working in Arizona, but the opportunity to lead a security program for Mayo Clinic was something I could not pass up.
Mayo Clinic had always seemed like the Disney World of hospitals to me—world-renowned medical care, outstanding research, and top-ranked medical education. To be able to play a small part in such an historic and iconic institution is truly special.
I have learned that you can "take the kid out of Chicago" but not "take Chicago out of the kid." Chicago will always be home, but my family and I have enjoyed making our new home here in Phoenix. It was reassuring that whatever skillset I have to offer seems to be transferable.
What are the biggest security issues at your organization? Are there any unique challenges compared to some other organizations?
One of our biggest security issues at Mayo Clinic is workplace violence. Violent incidents are on the rise within healthcare organizations nationally, and Mayo is no exception. We have seen year-over-year increases in reported incidents of violence. The primary scenarios we see are patient/staff; visitor/staff; and domestic violence (patient/visitor).
While the number of reported incidents is trending up, we believe that the true number of events is higher. Many healthcare organizations have this challenge of underreporting of violence from staff. We are working to address this cultural issue—to disabuse the notion that getting hit/kicked/cursed out is "part of the job." It's not okay, and it needs to be reported to unit leadership and the security team. The other side to that is people need to see action being taken when something is reported.
Here at Mayo Clinic Arizona, we are establishing a new Workplace Violence Program. This will build on existing work and resources, but adding dedicated staff; enhanced training for all personnel based on job role; and better data collection and analysis. We will align with and surpass some new regulatory requirements on workplace violence from The Joint Commission. It has been exciting to be part of the team helping to get this effort off the ground, and there is real enthusiasm across our practice for this program.
How did the COVID-19 pandemic change the way you operate? Did priorities shift? Were there any specific steps you took to address the health and security issues?
Our Global Security team has been involved from very early on in our overall COVID-19 response plan. Hospital Incident Command System was activated, and I serve as the Security Branch Director.
One of the main initial challenges was access control and visitor management. Mayo Clinic, like many hospitals, was designed to let people in—not keep people out. So there were some physical security issues, like certain entry doors being programmed to open at set times. Certain lobbies were typically not staffed by security, but by volunteers.
As the crisis grew, our volunteer services shut down operations and we also established more stringent visitor restrictions and screening requirements. The initial ask of security was not feasible, while maintaining day-to-day operations in the hospital. We worked with administration to limit the designated number of entry points and mobilized additional personnel from our labor pool to support screening activities. It was important to me that we had a security officer present at each of these entry points, especially as we went to a "No Visitors" policy.
Our focus through all of this has been maintaining the safest environment of care possible. We have seen challenges from our patients and visitors in understanding and complying with evolving policies. We also understand the frustration with the extended and ongoing nature of these restrictions. Stress levels are already high in this environment, and adding these restrictions (while necessary) has led to some challenging behaviors. This has also translated into some civil disturbances from external parties—protestors, conspiracy theorists, and the like. We have consistently coached our team that it's not about personal characteristics, but rather about behavior. Our job through this and other challenges is to help maintain decorum and optimal patient care.
What's your favorite part about working in the industry? What's your least favorite part, and how would you change it?
What has sustained me over two decades in the security industry are the many relationships, partnerships, and friendships I have been able to foster in this industry. It is what makes security not just a job but a career and an adventure.
Some of the smartest people I know work in this industry and, fortunately, are not reluctant to share their wisdom. I always look forward to the annual conferences in our industry like ASIS Global Security Exchange and the IAHSS Annual Conference and have missed being able to attend those events in person during the pandemic. To me, it is all about sharing knowledge and best practices—and it's about the people and maintaining relationships. We don't have to reinvent the wheel; someone out there is dealing with the same challenges and has come up with innovative solutions. If you come up with a new or innovative approach, it is incumbent not to keep it to yourself but to share willingly with your network in the security industry.
My least favorite part of the industry probably is the poor perception many have of security. The thinking goes that security is not a profit center, but rather a cost center. This led to slashed budgets and cut corners. So, historically the industry was forced into "low bid" scenarios—and it's true that you get what you pay for. Like any industry we have our share of knuckleheads and less-than-professional behavior, but that is the exception. What I see every day are some of the hardest-working and most dedicated individuals committed to patient and staff safety.
How can company leaders make security a value within their organization?
Every organization should make security and safety bedrock values. And it's not just about the traditional 3 Gs: gates, guards, and guns. Comprehensive security programs need to address employees being safe and feeling safe. That extends to making personal safety and security part of every staff member's professional development. Skills in security awareness, verbal de-escalation, and self-defense are vitally important for every employee. Address facility issues such as lighting, broken door locks, and other "low-hanging fruit" to show that you care for employee safety.
People often ask me, "How many people work in Mayo Clinic Arizona Security?" My answer is always the same: "8,500 and growing." Every staff member, provider, and learner who carries a Mayo Clinic ID badge is a fully deputized member of the Global Security team. We need everyone to maintain vigilance and situational awareness for themselves and their co-workers.
Mayo Clinic's primary value is "the needs of the patient come first." Mayo understands that in order for the patient to receive optimal care, members of the care team need to feel safe in their work environments.
Where do you see the industry heading in five years? Are you seeing any major trends?
Things will continue to change and evolve at a rapid pace over the next five years and beyond. We will continue to see a push toward more technology and security systems integration—being able to view disparate systems on "one pane of glass." There have been a number of great developments in security systems such as video analytics, biometric access control, weapons detection, and so much more.
While technology is wonderful—and we embrace it here at Mayo Clinic—I always remind our team members that at the end of that camera/scanner/alarm is a person who may need our help. We can't lose sight of the human element in favor of tools.
One of the major trends I think many of us are seeing/experiencing is the pivot to remote work for many personnel. This has safety and security implications. Staff working from home or another location do not have the typical security response they may be used to. Yet they remain in contact via phone/e-mail/patient portal with people who may make threats of violence. Staff working in dispersed geographic areas need to learn how to engage local law enforcement in their jurisdiction; how to best maintain their personal privacy (e.g., use of a standard company background on video calls vs. visual of their home environment).
Security is a people business. So I am most proud of the hundreds of people I have worked with and been privileged to lead over the course of my career. I am proud of the contributions we have collectively made to the safety and security of the institutions we served.
Do you have any advice for people entering the profession?
Security can provide a fulfilling and inspiring career, if you are willing to embrace change. Many professions including security have people who get stuck on "the way we have always done it." I always encourage people in the early stages of their career to take advantage of the many learning opportunities available—be it through your organization, industry associations such as ASIS or IAHSS, certifications or degrees. There is never a bad time to learn something new, and keep sharpening the saw. Build your network, and get to know people both inside and outside your organization who provide security solutions.

Ready or not, 2014 is upon us. But, before we move forward let's look back at 2013. Last year marked the 40th anniversary of Kool Herc putting on the first hip-hop party extending breakbeats with MCs rapping over them. Can't stop! Won't stop! Hip-hop is still here! Below are a few interesting tidbits as we look back at hip-hop in 2013.
DJ Tony Tone and DJ Kool Herc.
* Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP 2 sold 793,000 units first week—making him the highest-selling rapper of 2013. On November 7, Shady also became the first artist since The Beatles to have four songs in the Billboard Hot 100's top 20 during the same week—"The Monster" (#3), "Berzerk" (#15), "Survival" (#16) and "Rap God" (#17).
* Nipsey Hussle released 1,000 physical copies of his Crenshaw mixtape for $100 each and sold out in one day—earning over $100,000 with a little assistance from Jay Z, who personally purchased 100 units.
*Kendrick Lamar and Macklemore saw their 2012 releases carry them through 2013 as they dominated headlines, radio and YouTube charts.
* Lauryn Hill did jail time for not paying her taxes (there are more than a few people on Wall St who should be doing jail time too).
*Iconic group Public Enemy was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
With the GRAMMYs right around the corner, January 26th to be exact, I decided to take a look back at 2013 and highlight the Top 25 projects that resonated the most with me in the last year. Please note this list reflects the views of Nick Huff Barili and no one else, not Hard Knock TV, not The GRAMMYs. It's just one man's opinion.

BTS's Rap Monster won't dance in Japan concerts due to injury
SEOUL, July 1 (Yonhap) -- Rap Monster, the leader of K-pop boy group BTS or Bangtan Boys, won't be able to dance on stage during its concerts to be held in Japan this weekend, the group's management agency said Saturday.
The singer was injured in the right little toe on Thursday after accidentally bumping into the corner of a piece of furniture in his hotel room in Sapporo, said Big Hit Entertainment on the group's official social media sites.
"He's received medical treatment at a nearby hospital but the doctors said he should refrain from doing things that might further hurt his lifted toenail," it said, adding that he was advised not to dance on stage.
"Other than the injury in his toenail, his overall condition is good," it said.
Rap Monster will join other members for the concerts this weekend, which is part of the group's global tour "2017 BTS Live Trilogy Episode III The Wings Tour."

On May 5 2021, Madonna paid tribute to singer and Model Nick Kamen on social media after his death was announced. Nick (real name Ivor Neville Kamen) was 59, and died following a battle with bone marrow cancer.
"It's heart breaking to know you are gone. You were always such a kind sweet human and you suffered too much. Hope you are happier wherever you are Nick Kamen."
From Billboard.com:
Madonna was smitten by Kamen's "charisma" and "beautiful voice." They inspired her to reach out and ask him to record the leftover from her 1986 True Blue album, as well as provide backing vocals on the bouncy synth-pop ditty that climbed to No. 5 on the U.K. singles charts. The "Each Time You Break My Heart" remix also peaked at No. 5 on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart in May 1987. It spent 11 weeks on the chart.

On August 1 2020, Madonna paid tribute to Alan Parker (he died on July 31, 2020):
I was so sad to hear about the passing of Alan Parker. One of the greatest directors I've ever worked with—on the film Evita. He taught me so much, believed in me, pushed me to my limits and made an incredible film! Thank you! 📽♥ -Madonna

On May 19 2018, musician, songwriter and producer of Madonna's first album, Reggie Lucas, passed away at the age of 65.
Lucas's professional career began at 18 years of age when Miles Davis selected the guitarist to join his band. This eventually evolved into songwriting and production duties for vocalists Roberta Flack and Stephanie Mills. However, he is most frequently cited for his work with Madonna, beginning with her second single, the double-A side Burning Up/Physical Attraction recorded in late 1982, and her subsequent self-titled debut album.
In addition to producing the bulk of the album, Lucas also wrote two songs for project: the hit single Borderline, and the carnal club classic, Physical Attraction.
Chris Williams interviewed Lucas for TheAltantic in 2013 to mark the 30th anniversary of Madonna's debut. Below are some excerpts:
Your background was primarily as an R&B and jazz artist. How did that influence you creating the songs for Madonna? Because she was a different kind of artist.
Well, she was a white artist wasn't she? [laughs] It was the main thing that made her different. When I came to the Madonna record, I came with two things. The first thing was I brought a lot of success and a solid background as a hit producer and songwriter within the R&B world, but it was also with the skill as a composer and rock and roll guitarist. Madonna was simply the first opportunity that I had to play around with other musical interests that I had. You couldn't make the first Madonna record for Phyllis Hyman. I couldn't make Miles Davis music for Roberta Flack. Miles was the one place where I got it all out of my system, and that was the beauty of Miles.As a producer, you understood that your first job was to support people to achieve that end. You challenged the artist just enough to bring out the best in them and introduce them to audiences that they normally wouldn't be introduced to. When I did "Physical Attraction," that was just it. She was a little different. Madonna was wilder in terms of her look and image; I don't know if her music was that much wilder than anyone else back then. I think her music was sexually freer and it predicted what was going to happen in the future. She was definitely an innovator when it became to being more suggestive, which was pretty cool. I thought it was great.So–mixing that with my musical background, Madonna's first album was really a hybrid of her interests and mine. "Physical Attraction" was our starting point with that style. It did pretty well and she began to move forward with her career and sound.
How did that dynamic work in the studio?
She had a lot of material that she had written and collaborated with other people on in the course of being signed to a record label. When she met me, "Everybody" was about to come out and she had written "Lucky Star." My role had been as a creative songwriting record producer. [Musician James] Mtume and I typically wrote a good percentage of the material we produced for Stephanie Mills, Phyllis Hyman, and those artists. So that's what I ended up doing for Madonna. I would write songs and ask her, "What do you think of this?" "Physical Attraction" and "Borderline" were done specifically during the production process and for her. They weren't demo songs that I was shopping around.
Madonna and I had an enormous amount of freedom. They would tell us to make the record and we went and made the record. I think, in retrospect, we were happy to come up in an era where the record company played a very small role in creative supervision. Our creative process was very independent.
Did you guys have a set routine that you followed every day coming into the studio?
She was diligent, it was a pretty good experience. She wasn't the type of artist that you had to go and look for. She wanted to be successful. She was always there when she needed to be. I was used to being in charge of things so I was always there at the studio ready. I made sure everything moved smoothly for her so that the process surrounding being in the studio was fairly transparent to her. She had to come in focused on her music and performing as an artist and it helped my focus as well. The musicians I worked with were guys I had worked with for years. We worked out of Sigma Sound Studios, a studio I worked out of for years as well. She brought some very good people into the situation. It was very comfortable making the record.
We made usage of synthesizers and drum machines. That was the first record that I ever recorded where I used a drum machine. It was one of the big transitions for me. We used Moog and Arp synthesizers, and that was relatively new technology back then. It gave the music a new sound. Madonna was an artist that knew what she wanted, but she wasn't a record producer. So it was my responsibility to create a sound for her. She would be there interactively. If she didn't like something she heard, she would say so and I would change it. The funny thing that happened on this record is when we got into the studio together we established this mini-Moog bass sound for her as her key sound. And she stuck with it for a long time.
Were there any challenges in working with a low-budget and trying to break a new artist on a new label, Sire Records?
It wasn't really difficult at all. Sire wasn't a new label. It was an independent record label that was acquired by Warner Brothers. It had an enormous amount of success with the English punk sound and dance music. Sometimes things just have a flow to them. Madonna's record had a flow to it. Michael Rosenblatt was always there and I worked with him from the label. He was great, he was a real pro. He knew how to be an A&R person for a record. He didn't interfere, but he wasn't so distanced from it that he didn't have an idea of what was going on.
Michael is probably an unsung hero of launching Madonna's career. If you can believe it, Warner Brothers had very limited interest in Madonna when she was first signed. You know what they thought? They said that Madonna is this new white artist that wants to sing black–so what they did was send her to the black radio stations when her first record came out, and that's how they promoted her at first. They just treated her as a black artist. I guess they kind of envisioned her as Teena Marie. Madonna had an intense interest in black music, but she wasn't Teena Marie. She was something different. But she did it and she went to the black radio stations and held her own. Frankie Crocker was playing her records in New York.
When you bring up the fact that Madonna was pushed toward a black audience, it would explain why "Physical Attraction" and songs like that were at top of the Billboard Black Singles Charts.
You can't make this stuff up. Warner Brothers really didn't know what to do with her. See, there was a subtext to Madonna that had to do with her personality. She looked like a punk rocker to a lot of people. When people at record companies, law offices, and managerial places first saw Madonna before she became an established artist, a lot of people were put off by her. They thought she was too crazy and too weird. Being a music person and a human being, I don't operate that way. I thought she was cool and different. I didn't really know if she was going to become a big star, but I thought she had something valid to say and I could help her with it. Warner Brothers didn't get it right away, but Michael Rosenblatt did.When she took off, there was an immediate, massive shift to move in and establish business relationships with her. In the beginning, she was just this little dance artist that Frankie Crocker gave a few spins to, and some DJs out in San Francisco, and she starts creating this buzz. Then, people at the record label started putting two and two together and got five. They immediately did a 360 and welcomed her with open arms.
Talk me through the process of making some of the songs you were involved with on the album.
I'd write songs and put them on a little cassette player with me singing, and I can't sing. I'd ask Madonna if she liked them, and she said, "Yeah, it sounds cool. Let's do it." I did the demos for "Physical Attraction" and "Borderline" and she brought in her demos for her songs to the studio. And we did what we did to them. Probably the most interesting one was "Lucky Star." If you heard the original demo for "Lucky Star" and you heard what it came out like, they're the same song, but barely. We really put a lot of creative energy into that one and it came out beautifully.
I must say, Madonna was great to work with in the studio. She really put in the work. She was a creative person. And it was one of the many reasons why it was disappointing not to be involved in subsequent projects. It's just one of those things. Look, she picked one of my good buddies, Nile Rodgers, to do the next record. She couldn't have picked a better person. I always had a pretty casual process of making songs, but with some formality. I kind of inherited how Miles Davis used to operate. So we would come in and the songs were simple they didn't require a lot in the way of charts. I would write out a little chord sheet, but the musicians were so good they would learn these things. They were really used as templates to try to find in the studio what we wanted to do with the songs. I'd make a lot of creative decisions and creative additions and subtractions to whatever was going on in the studio. We didn't spend a lot of time messing around either. I think that's the trick.When you make a pop record, you don't want it to sound sterile. You want to bring some of the improvisational excitement of jazz, but without the actual 15-minute saxophone solo. You can't have a 15-minute saxophone solo on a Madonna record. You have to find a way to build in this excitement in a way that just works. Being a member of rhythm sections as a guitarist was always helpful to me in terms of understanding how music works from a production-quality standpoint. When you're a member of a rhythm section, you know when the music is a dud because you're right there as it happens. I always felt that I was always in tune to the level of energy, precision, and crispness of rhythm section performances. And I think that's the key to so many records.
As you look back 30 years later, how do you feel about the impact the album made on popular culture after it was released? It's regarded as one of the most important pop albums from the 1980s.
Well, I don't know. I think everybody involved in the arts has a tendency to take themselves a little bit too seriously. I made a great record, and I and a lot of people liked it. It sold a lot of copies and launched careers and created opportunities for people. And that's what you want to do. That is supposed to be the outcome of your good work. I don't think it changed the nature of life in America or anything like that. [laughs] It was just a good record.

On March 17 2014, Madonna made a statement to ABC News Radio regarding the death of designer L'Wren Scott, who was found dead in her New York City apartment of an apparent suicide:
"This is a horrible and tragic loss. I'm so upset. I loved L'Wren's work and she was always so generous with me."


Michigan junior 'viper' linebacker Khaleke Hudson was ejected for a targeting penalty in the fourth quarter against Nebraska on Saturday.
Michigan junior linebacker Khaleke Hudson was ejected for a targeting penalty in the fourth quarter of the Wolverines' 56-10 win over Nebraska on Saturday afternoon.
Hudson was whistled for the penalty after hitting Cornhuskers quarterback Andrew Bunch in the fourth quarter, with Michigan leading, 56-3.
Hudson had already missed the first half of the game because of his targeting ejection from last week's 45-20 win over SMU. The targeting rule states that a player ejected for targeting in the second half must sit out the first half of the following game — which means Hudson will sit for the first two quarters of next week's game at Northwestern.
Hudson tallied two tackles (0.5 for loss) and one quarterback hurry against the Cornhuskers. He entered the game with nine tackles on the season. In his first season as a starter last fall, he posted 77 tackles (16 for loss) with 7.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, two interceptions and nine— passes defended.
Senior Jordan Glasgow started against Nebraska in Hudson's absence, and had two tackles and one sack.

on World Rhino Day, September 22, 2014.
HA NOI, Viet Nam, August 10, 2014 – Six students received the top prize in the first Rhino Art Vietnam children's art competition designed to raise awareness about rhino conservation and to reduce rhino horn consumption. Rhino Art Vietnam was organized by WildAct Vietnam, Humane Society International, the Hanoi Education and Training Department and was co-sponsored by the Kingsley Holgate Foundation and Helping Rhinos UK.
Rhinos are threatened with extinction because of poaching to supply the illegal international trade in rhino horn. Only about 28,000 rhinos of five species exist in the wild today. More than a thousand rhinos were poached in 2013 in South Africa. At this rate, scientist has predicted that rhino will be extinct by 2020. Viet Nam is the largest market for rhino horn, as many Vietnamese people believed that it will improve health, treat specific aliments, and even cure cancer although science has proven that rhino horn is not a cure for any human condition. Indeed, rhino horn is composed of keratin, the same material that makes up human fingernails and hair.
Rhino Art originated in South Africa to provide a platform for the children of Africa to share how they felt about rhino poaching. Rhino Art Vietnam was launched in May 2014. Over 4,500 students have been reached by Rhino Art Vietnam. The project team visited each school to give a short talk on rhinos and the poaching crisis. They then left a Rhino Art Template for each of student to complete. The team then returned to the school to collect the entries. 2,000 entries were received from students in twenty secondary and high schools in Vietnam. The entries were judged by WildAct Vietnam, Humane Society International, Helping Rhinos and the Hanoi Education and Training Department.
The six winners will receive a chaperoned trip to South Africa to attend the first ever World Youth Rhino Summit to be held on World Rhino Day, September 22nd 2014.

Get ready for a murder mystery in this year's Festival of the Lost.
It's official, the Festival of the Lost event is coming to Destiny 2. Bungie confirmed the event's return, and teased one if its main activities, in the latest This Week at Bungie blog post. In the post, Bungie hinted that this year's Festival of the Lost will feature a murder mystery.
Aside from the creepy costume party, event details remain scarce. In previous instances, the Festival of the Lost included beautiful decorations in the Tower, masks for players to collect, and trick-or-treat quests. Based on Bungie dropping the murder mystery hint, it's possible we could see a very different iteration of Festival of the Lost in Destiny 2.
As for potential rewards, Reddit user AnonTheNine recently noted that the Thunderlord Exotic machine gun will be available again during this year's Festival of the Lost. Considering many of their predictions have proven accurate, it'll be interesting to see whether or not players will indeed have another chance to get their hands on Thunderlord.
According to Bungie, players will be treated to a full reveal for the Festival of the Lost event next week. Until that time, Guardians can work through other events (like the Last Wish raid) until the Festival of the Lost begins on October 16. While we wait for more information, what do you think of the news that the Festival of the Lost is coming to Destiny 2? Are you excited to partake in a murder mystery quest, or are you hoping for more traditional Festival of the Lost fare? Let us know down in the comments below!

Q: Web3JS Ethereum Contract Storage History I have the following question, lets say a transaction calls a Smart Contract's function, which
changes the contract's state on Ethereum Mainnet. E.g. a counter variable was set from 0 to 1.
Is there an easy way to access the previous state via Web3JS?
Thanks in advance!

A: Yes, as long as you know where in storage to look. The JSON-RPC method eth_getStorageAt lets you retrieve storage at a given location at an arbitrary block. web3.js exposes this as web3.eth.getStorageAt().

A: yeah you can use events in smart contracts functions to save every interaction with the smart contract then use web3 and get all the events that happened on the smart contract like that you get all the records of the previous state .

Best to lead university's strategic research initiatives
ISSUED: 26 July 2017
MEDIA CONTACT: Valerie Owens
SHEPHERDSTOWN, WV — Dr. Jason Best, professor of astronomy and astrophysics, has been named Shepherd University's director of strategic research initiatives. In his new role, Best will work collaboratively with external and internal partners to further develop and enhance the university's emerging research agenda across all disciplines.
"I will serve as a liaison between the university and external research partners, matching the interests of our students and faculty with the opportunities and needs of those external partners," Best said. "I will also work with deans and faculty to introduce, develop, and implement new strategic research initiatives at both the undergraduate and graduate levels."
Best will also serve in an advisory role with the Shepherd Entrepreneurship and Research Corporation, a nonprofit organization tasked with helping to create economic development and research opportunities for the university and the region. Best said this new position will build upon the already productive research tradition at Shepherd and provide more opportunities for both faculty and students.
"A university is responsible for not only dissemination of knowledge, but also for generation of knowledge," Best said. "Furthermore, research is one of the highest impact practices that students of any discipline can engage in. Student research is about career preparation. We find that students who participate in research are exploring, discovering, and producing within their fields of study. This engagement not only provides sustained benefits for the students, but also for Shepherd and society."
"We are delighted that Dr. Best agreed to serve in this significant new role," said Dr. Mary J.C. Hendrix, Shepherd's president. "He brings enthusiasm and visionary leadership to Shepherd's expanding research agenda that will benefit our trainees as they prepare for tomorrow's career opportunities."
Dr. Scott Beard, acting provost, said this is an opportunity for Best to apply what he learned two years ago as an American Council on Education (ACE) Fellow, where his focus was on how a primarily undergraduate institution can enhance its culture of research for all students at all levels.
"We are excited to have someone of Jason's expertise overseeing existing research strengths, interdisciplinary collaborations, and promising new and growing areas of research that inspire innovation and global impact," Beard said.

Free Webinar -
5 Shifts for Conquering Your ADHD at Work
You know "what to do", you know "how to do it", but when it is time to ACTUALLY WORK ON "the thing", you just can't seem to get started, right?! If that sounds familiar, then this webinar is for you!


I'm here in Dharamsala. Ahhh....to breathe and relax into the vibration of the sweet mountains...with the heart centered spirit of the Tibetans. I came here for the few days before I start teaching. Sat Pavan and I have enjoyed the food and spirit of Dharamsala before she goes to a Vipassana meditation course.
Over the last few months, I realized how much of my whole life I had been playing the 'victim role'. It has been divinely intertwined with having asthma my whole life and with the journey that has unfolded for me. Last year during Tantric I experienced something I never had before. I watched a teenager have an asthma attack in the Tantric line. I, believe it or not, had never seen someone have an asthma attack - I had only experienced it within my own self. Ever since that day, I made the decision to never have to be hospitalized again and to let go of having asthma. I began to change my diet, began working with Guruchander who did one of the Siri Singh Sahib's healing techniques for anger with me (for many months) and prayed to release the need for asthma in my life. It took me many months to incorporate that shift in my psyche...but it ended up that in June, I was asthma free.
Then everything else started to change. I realized that I didn't have to submit to anything. I didn't need to be the victim in any part of my life. Very truthfully, it was part of the reason why I decided to quit my job in Espanola. I realized that I had been doing this work and using my energy for things that didn't fully feed my soul (though I am thankful and honored to have learned all that I did - as it was a necessary part of my life to get me to the here and now). I moved into a space of honoring my self, my truth, and my life more fully and with reverence to myself, as opposed to reverence towards that which was outside of myself. So, I finished my job, packed up my possessions and put them in storage, and then began to travel. I first went to San Francisco where I worked at a job that, well let's just say, didn't feed me. Being in a new, different vibrational field gave way to my own insecurity. I worked so much and got paid a lot for it, but didn't follow my truth of taking care of myself and honoring my life force. I then stayed at my friends' house who had a cat which only added to physical challenges...and I got asthma back. This was a big blow to the confidence I had gained when I was asthma free. There were also some situations that I attracted to show me that I still played into that old pattern of being the victim, not feeling like I had a choice in matters, etc. Once I left there, I went to Los Angeles and appreciated the climate and my surroundings without the cat dander a lot more, though I still used the inhaler there. I felt more grounded, but just had a few days before I left for India.
When the Universe opened up the new plans of moving to India for me, I felt like I was having to surrender to my higher self...surrendering to listening to my truth again. I did in many ways feel like I didn't have a choice in the matter...but I know that the choice was choosing to listen to my higher self or not - and I could have always not listened and gone through with my previous plans....but I own the fact that I chose not to ( and I'm extremely thankful that I am not living in India and committed to my self here).
I feel like once I realized that I have been playing the victim role my whole life, I was able to experience living life without being a victim, empowered in my own self for the last few months I was in Espnaola. Then, I chose to test myself with it in a new environment - and I got to see that I fell back into an old pattern. Then, when the divine and my higher self was showing me this new path in India, I still reacted in the 'victim' mindset - but I feel like here in India, I am able to see all of it more clearly. I am watching my interactions.. I am watching myself when I feel insecure. I am watching what it feels like when I am empowered in my relationship with myself and with God (for example, the experiences I have at Gurdwaras). I know and trust that I can move fully into my own power...but it isn't just going to happen overnight. It is a process. And as I go within more and more, I get to see my capacity as my own author.
I am going to use these next few days in Dharmasala to vision and meditate on what my everyday will look like when I start teaching at MPA. I want to be clear about what I'm creating for my life. What is going to truly feed my soul everyday? What is going to feed the next few years of my life?
Moving into more power and ownership of my own life is definitely a big leap and step into full responsibility for everything that happens in my life. Its new territory and when I slip sometimes I am hard on myself, but I'm learning to be gentle with myself and allow these baby steps to happen peacefully with compassion. I feel like these are the moments of growth that truly allow for me to move into the next stage of life and service to my self, to my peers, to the world, and to the divine.
I have been going through many thoughts trying to figure this out...and I feel like it is more crystallized in my psyche after writing this. So, blessings from this land of the Mother...to know myself, my limitations, and what to do to be a better person.

Winter commuting: Which studded winter tires? | Coming thru!
Since I managed to mangle my wheels yesteday, I'll have to take them to be trued and while I'm at it, I'm going to put studded tires on them. We all rode bikes to school and everywhere when we were kids, even during the winter and it was awesome. Sliding and throwing your tail as much as you could, polishing the ice to be even more slippery. But then we weren't in a hurry and we didn't fear death.
In this post I'll paraphrase an excellent, almost Sheldon Brown quality post from Peter White cycles.
Lots (closer to 300) of large studs or spikes all around, big knobs, massive blocks and all in all, very aggressive profiling to carry you through. Go with models like Nokian Extreme 294, 700c Extreme 294, Schwalbe Ice Spiker or Ice Spiker Pro.
Less studs, something around 200 and a less aggressive profile. These tires have elements from both ends, smaller rolling resistance, studs on the sides to allow you to climb from a hole and elements to keep you up in most commuting circumstances. Go with models like Nokian W240, Nokian Mount & Ground (M&G), and Schwalbe Marathon Winter.
If you're a urban commuter who wants to ride all-around the year and ride mostly on plowed roads, you'll want more safety than ultimate performance. A smaller number of studs (like a 100ish) which are more on the center of the tire instead of the sides, they keep you running but don't expect any miracles during your performance of Disney on Ice. Go with models such as Nokian W106 or Nokian A10.
There you go! Winter tires in general cost quite a bit (50 to 100 euros PER TIRE), but they do last quite a long time as well. Modern winter tires have carbide studs, so you don't have to worry about wearing them out, the tire itself will break before that. You can keep them on during the whole winter, because that's what safety is all about.
Put my Marathon Winters on just over a week ago – just before the snow and ice all melted away again… doh. They are very good for gripping snow and ice, and seem hard wearing as well – this will be my third winter using them, but you do really notice the drag and lower speed when you first put them on. I reckon they add about 5 minutes to my normally just under an hour journey. Obviously this can go up once there is any amount of uncleared snow on the the route.
This will be my third season running the Schwalbe Snow Studs (700c) on my cyclocross bike and they're pretty much bombproof… There are times I wish I had a wider tire like on a mountain bike, but overall these have been great and show almost no signs of wear.
Last winter was my first Finnish cycling winter and they do make you feel a bit slower (of course, like Toby said, fresh uncleared snow can easily double the time as you plough through!), but they seemed to do the job very well. I spent a bit of time on an empty ice rink testing them out and was very impressed with the handling.
By the way, do you know about the Helsinki Testbed site? It's perfect for cycle commuters when combined with flexitime, you can wait a bit or hurry up to avoid incoming bad weather. It's saved me from a soaking many a time!
The Testbed site is brilliant, and there's another service for people of Helsinki – an SMS service that sends you a (scheduled) text when it's slippery outside during the night!
I'm going for the Nokian W106 as well.
Adding screws to your tires might not be the best idea but i think it will really help. Just be more responsible and alert.

Project Fi
Google's Low-cost Cell Service Option
Conner Newbold | Photos courtesy of Google's Project Fi Jul 9, 2018
Driverless cars. Google Fiber. Home automation. Artificially intelligent personal assistants. Google has an impressive knack for creating successful, disruptive startups. And just three years after launch, Project Fi is well on its way to attaining the same success as some of Google's other plucky experiments — this time, disrupting the world of cell phone service providers.
Project Fi is a new take on an old idea.
MVNO service providers — carriers that borrow service from larger companies, essentially renting their cell towers or satellites — have been around for decades. Project Fi uses the same model, aggregating the power of T-Mobile, Sprint and US Cellular into a single network.
So, how's it different from other MVNOs (mobile virtual network operators)? It's all in the switching. Project Fi technology allows devices to seamlessly switch between service providers and one million preapproved Wi-Fi hotspots, providing users the speed and reliability of Wi-Fi combined with extensive cell coverage.
There's only one plan.
It's $20 per month for unlimited talk and text, then $10 more for every gigabyte of data used. Fi knocks $5 off the base $20 charge for every additional phone on the plan. Unlike most providers, you only pay for the data you use. For those who use just one or two gigs of data per month, Fi may be the most economical cell service provider around. Alternatively, data-hungry users might find six-plus GB at $10 apiece fairly steep — at that rate, it may be less expensive to find an unlimited data plan from another provider.
Signup takes about three minutes.
It doesn't require a trip to a brick and mortar store (there aren't any). There are no contracts, forms or leases to sign. Just enter your information into the Fi website, and the company ships you an eligible phone (or a Project Fi SIM card for your current phone).
Service and billing are peculiarly simple.
There are no paper statements or packets of fine print. Just the Project Fi app, and it contains only three tabs: account, billing and service. If you're switching from one of the big three carriers, it might feel suspiciously simple.
The "account" tab logs how much data your device uses daily, days left in the billing cycle, and breaks down data usage by app, so you can see exactly how much data you wasted mindlessly thumbing through Instagram.
The "service" tab is a direct line to customer support, with wait times listed for each contact method (call, chat and email). It also includes a link to support forums for DIY and developer types.
"Billing" is exactly that, with clean, simple statements designed for mobile view.
Only a handful of phones can access Project Fi.
And iPhones aren't on the list. Only the purest of Android smartphones make the cut — the Pixel, Pixel 2 and Nexus lines, with one or two others. Speculation says this is because both Project Fi and Android grew out of Google, as did the Pixel and Nexus.
Fi subscribers use Google hardware powered by Google software, connected to Google as a service provider. Altogether, this makes for seamless service and added convenience — but with the potential downside of a lot less data privacy, because Google stores a massive amount of your personal information.
