The live albums listed in this section have been awarded a review rating of 29 out of 30. This is my top mark because I don't believe the perfect album exists. There's always scope for that one extra song or a bit clearer sound.
You will see that my tastes are varied but I do recognise a weakness for duel lead instruments like a guitar and saxophone trading riffs with each other.
My reviews are scored on the basis of:
Set List – 10
Performance – 10
Authenticity & Atmosphere – 10
but when I review I also have an overall rating in mind and I have to reconcile the two scores. I refuse to follow the logic of 110% success and giving any album 11 out of 10 but it does mean the occasional compromise.
These are listed in alphabetical order rather than any preference:
Leonard Cohen Live In London
Graham Parker & The Rumour Live In San Francisco 1979
Bruce Springsteen Hammersmith Odeon London'75
Bruce Springsteen 1978/08/09 Cleveland Ohio
Talking Heads The Name Of The Band Is
The Who Live At Leeds
What might be better?
I've always wanted an album of the Darkness On The Edge Of Town tour by Bruce Springsteen, an album from the Quadrophenia tour by The Who with Who's Next also well featured or a Rolling Stones album from the Exile On Main Street tour.
Albums that I don't rate quite as highly but still recommend – 28 – 27 – 26 – 25 – 24
Supertramp Live In Paris 79
Live In Paris 79 is a live album and DVD by Supertramp and is an extended version of their first released live album, Paris.

Finally we have one of Bruce Springteen's fantastic 1978 live recordings receiving an official, authorised release.
1978/08/09 Cleveland Ohio is a live album by Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band performing at the Agora and which is sold through live.brucespringsteen.net.
This concert was originally broadcast on the radio and has been a very popular bootleg. It was also released unofficially through the loophole in the European Union copyright laws a few months ago – see Bruce Springsteen Agora Ballroom 1978.
Ignore everything else, this is the REAL DEAL!
Background To The Cleveland Release
Toby Scott found the seven Agora tape reels in a box that had been returned from the Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame. A comparison to other recordings of this concert showed that this had the best sound and could even be the original master tapes. These have since been cleaned up and the sound quality is terrific.
It is available as a digital download in varying qualities and also as physical CDs
Overall Rating For Bruce Springsteen Live At The Agora, Cleveland on 08/09/1978 – 29/30
I believe that this is one of the finest live recordings ever made available legally.
If it has been released close to the time or recording, I believe that this would be generally recognised as one of the greatest live albums along with The Who Live At Leeds , The Rolling Stones Brussels Affair 1973 and other classics.

Talking Heads The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads 1977 to 1981
The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads is a live compilation album from Talking Heads spanning the years from 1977 to 1981.
This represents the time when Talking Heads were at their most innovative, coming out of the punk movement at the CBGBs club but sounding nothing like punk. In my classification system I'm treating talking Heads as both a new wave band and an art rock band.
This album represents Talking Heads at their brilliant, quirky best and in my opinion is even more exciting than Stop Making Sense.
If you're wondering about the title, the group were often incorrectly called The Talking Heads. David Byrne would often introduce songs with the phrase "The name of this song …"
The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads

Jess Roden Live At The BBC 1976
Live At The BBC is a live album of the Jess Roden Band live in concert in December 1976 from The Hippodrome, London with four extra live in the studio recordings from 1975. These were broadcast on the John Peel show and that's where I first heard Jess Roden.
In fact it might be the only place I've heard this great singer on the radio.
I was thrilled when I found this album was released on CD in 1996 and I think it could be the best live album ever.
A bold statement but I can't tell you how many times I've played this CD. It's a perfect mix of rock, soul, blues and funk. I adore it.
I used to have a previous live album by Jess Roden called Blowin' which I loved as an LP.
My Rating – 29/30

Bruce Springsteen Hammersmith Odeon London 75
Hammersmith Odeon 75 captures the first visit by Bruce Springsteen to the UK in 1975 after Born To Run was released.
The retrospective Live 1975 – 85 is a very comprehensive collection of Springsteen live but fans were critical because it was a live performance compilation.
Hammersmith Odeon is how long-standing fans really want to hear Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band play live – a complete concert that captures the excitement and passion of a Springsteen gig.

The Rolling Stones Brussels Affair 1973
Brussels Affair is an official, authorised version of a famous Rolling Stones bootleg from the 1973 Goats Head Soup tour.
It's brilliant.
Fans of the Stones have wanted this release for years as it catches the mark 2 version of the band with Mick Taylor rather than Brian Jones in their full glory
If you like Get Yer Ya Ya's Out, you'll love The Brussels Affair.

The Who Live At Leeds 1970
The Who Live At Leeds is arguably the greatest live album ever recorded.
I thought about which live album was going to be the first one to feature on my Best Live Albums blog and in the end, I decided the answer was obvious.
The first one I ever bought.
I always think of this as The Who Live At Leeds although others refer to it as Live At Leeds by The Who. From 2012 onwards, there is also The Who Live At Hull to consider.

The Pasadena Museum of California Art (PMCA) holds a panel discussion on Saturday focusing on the work and legacy of influential Southern California designer Corita Kent. PMCA's In Dialogue series features several "We Have No Art" events and panels leading up to the museum's major exhibition, Someday is Now: The Art of Corita Kent, which opens in June 2015.
Saturday's panel is moderated by writer Alissa Walker and includes Otis College of Art and Design Faculty Juliette Bellocq and CalArts faculty Louise Sandhaus—both of whom are graduates of the MFA Program in Graphic Design at CalArts. Also on the panel is Jan Steward, one of Kent's former students, who co-authored the book Learning by Heart: Teachings to Free the Creative Spirit, based on Kent's graphic design work.
Kent's story in L.A. design circles is legendary. She was first known as Sister Mary Corita, a nun who headed the art department at the now-defunct Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles. Her designs and serigraphs became immensely popular in the 1960s and 1970s. Although she left her religious order in 1968, Kent's spirituality infused her art, along with her politics, as she was known for her dedication to civil rights, feminist and anti-war causes.
While Kent, who died in 1986, might not be a household name, her designs may be more recognizable. Her most widely distributed work was the 1985 "Love" stamp, issued by the U.S. Postal Service.

Works in Exhibition and Installation Views
Drawings 1940
February 4 - April 26, 2003
523 W 24 Street
Matthew Marks is pleased to announce Lucian Freud: Drawings 1940, the next exhibition at his gallery at 523 West 24th Street.
The exhibition will consist of 168 drawings made by the painter Lucian Freud in 1940. The drawings are being exhibited here for the first time.
Freud made these drawings during the first winter of World War II, when he was 17 years old. The majority of them were made in Capel Curig, Wales, where Freud was renting a room in a retired miner's house with a friend from art school, David Kentish, and the poet Stephen Spender. Freud spent his days painting, his evenings drawing by lamplight while Kentish and Spender worked alongside. Influenced by Spender's lightheartedness and Kentish's brooding character, the work is at once playful and ponderous, as the writer Sebastian Smee notes:
"There is indeed a demotic spirit running through all the Welsh drawings. Invention was key, and private, running jokes constituted fertile points of departure…. There are flying fish; elephants on the loose in town; birds' feet with shoes like rubber gloves; a drainpipe shooting body parts from the grisly 'Murder house'; risible tourists, and references to The Times personal ads, some of which Freud actually incorporated into his drawings." At the same time, "[t]he line in many of the drawings feels slow, almost geological, like cracks in stone or old walls – not so much meandering as FORCED in unexpected directions. Many of the portraits suggest an equivalent pressure of consciousness behind the subject's close-packed eyes."
In addition to portraits of Spender and Kentish, the drawings include portraits of Freud's mother, the literary critic Cyril Connolly, self-portraits, still-lifes, and several drawings after El Greco, inspired by a book he brought with him on his trip to Wales. Even at this early stage, Freud took as his subject matter his friends and family and the things around him.
Lucian Freud was born in 1922, grew up in Berlin, and moved to England with his family at the age of ten. His father was an architect and a son of Sigmund Freud. In June of 2002, the Tate Gallery in London opened a major retrospective of Freud's work, which then traveled to Fundació "La Caixa" in Barcelona and which opens at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, its only U.S. venue, on February 9th, 2003.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a hardcover book reproducing all 168 drawings actual size and including an essay by Sebastian Smee.
Lucian Freud: Drawings 1940 will be on view at the Matthew Marks Gallery, 523 West 24th Street (between 10th and 11th Avenues), through April 19th, 2003. Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.
For further information or photographs, please contact Adrian Rosenfeld at 212-243-0200.

Q: Python Random no function refreshes without running My function is as below. I am taking input of 2 nos, finding random nos between them and then multiplying them all.
start = int(input("Enter start value"))
end =   int(input("Enter end value"))

import random

numlist = random.sample(range(start,end),10)
print("list of random nos are" + str(numlist))
from functools import reduce

prod = reduce(lambda x,y: x*y, numlist)
print("the product of random nos: {0} is {1}".format(numlist,prod))

The output is as below
Enter start value7
Enter end value89
list of random nos are: [58, 13, 47, 43, 44, 56, 86, 14, 25, 71]
the product of random nos: [51, 30, 7, 25, 49, 29, 35, 54, 27, 67] is 1300840136977500

My question is a) why does the list of random nos change (first line [58,13..second line [51,30...) even though i haven't run this numlist = random.sample(range(start,end),10) line of code again.
What is happening here ?

A: i just added  print(numlist) and the random numbers are not changing for me.Try this instead
end =   int(input("Enter end value"))

import random

numlist = random.sample(range(start,end),10)
print(numlist)
from functools import reduce

prod = reduce(lambda x,y: x*y, numlist)
print("the product of random nos: {0} is {1}".format(numlist,prod))

A: Use a function so that the random value is regenerated each time the function is called.
>>> f = random.random()
>>> f
0.27924394986694034
>>> def randomizer():   return random.random()
...
>>> randomizer()
0.10425940372082476

Hi, would you know if any of these webinar plugins can be used with Amazon S3 CloudFront?
WordPress webinar discussed here has a built in AMAZON S3 integration.
I am looking for an runclick alternative. Which one should I buy ?
I use WPIgnition. It does th job pretty well. try it.
First, thank you for sharing the list of WordPress webinar plugins. My favorite is WP webinar. Currently I have switching my Joomla website to wordpress. This is great information.
You should also check it out WPForms Lite plugin. It is simple to use and much easiert than any contact forms.
Hi Pritesh, thank you for this good blog. I cannot find any other reviews about WPWebinar. Do you know if it has also a live chat function built-in?

I just researched Webinar Ignition and it looks very cool. Very moderately priced.
Thanks for the changelog. They have kept the development very happy and I am satisfied with the regular and timely updates.I know because I bought the developer version. It is a very intuitive platform.
The articles shared here are awesome in a word .
The concept on the best use of Webinar Plugin is not clear for many and in this case the plugins shared here to work for Webinar will be easy to know details .
I agree with you Mr Samdani. This article clearly helped me understand why i should use webinar on my WordPress blog and also provided us with some great options that specialize in handling webinars..
Hey, there, great list of best webinar-plugin. Really informative and helpful blog. Keep it up dear and thanks for sharing.
Great article. Have you tried Crowdcast? It's an amazing tool. It's not a WordPress plugin—but it's definitely the easiest software I've found. It's all in the browser, no downloads/installs necessary, easy to set up, fast registration, and has all the interactive features (chat, Q&A, polls) that are standard as well as automatic recording & replay, integration with 500+ other tools like autoresponders, and analytics to show you event performance & where people are coming from. Not to mention great support. In short, I highly recommend it.
Thank you for sharing these tools. I have a WordPress business blog in Brazil, and I surely will try your suggestions to record webinars and Q&A sessions with marketing professions from my country.
I switched from everwebinar to webinarignition based on your recommendation and so far I am very happy with the transition.
Rosaline we are glad to know that our insights helped you grow your business.
Thanks for nice article on"Top 3 WordPress Webinar Plugin" Hope from your article users will get an awesome guideline regarding webinar plugins.
Fantastic article on wordpress webinar plugin. I personally feel that Mark thompson's webinar ignition is still the very best for small and medium scale website owners.
Seems like you know what you are talking about. I also recommended people to use webinarignition if they ask me about the best wp plugin webinar.
WordPress and Mark's webinar ignition does the job for me. tried Ever-webinar but I just dont like its UI.
Patel, I agree with you on that. Everwebinar interface can be a little confusing for users who are new to webinar.
I have been using webinar – ignition for over a year now and this has so worked pretty well for my business.


I have installed neuron in an Ubuntu 18.04.1 machine and nrngui and nrniv work fine.
and the code pops up an Iconify window and plots a graph.
but the Neuron gui bar does not appear.
Re: Either nrngui or conda-forge neuron work, but not both?
Well, look at NEURON's installation tree on your machine, and if you find a src/nrnpython/setup.py file, you know what to do. If you don't find such a file, but you want Python to use NEURON as a module, you'll have to do something else.
There is no src/nrnpython/setup.py file in the NEURON's installation tree.
But, the problem is that when I do that, nrngui does not work any more.
that do not produce any image.
My suggestion would have been to install NEURON from source code*--specifically, source code downloaded from www.neuron.yale.edu, not software obtained from a repository set up by some third party. The internet is full of all kinds of stuff. Anyone on the planet can grab code from NEURON's official web site, do whatever they like to it, and post it online somewhere. Who is responsible for the "neuron" package at conda-forge? What are that person's qualifications, and how is he or she connected to the NEURON project? What is the status of the files in that repository, relative to the official NEURON repository at github? Maybe the answers to these questions are all good, and maybe that person can help you with your issue.
*--That source code comes with src/nrnpython/setup.py.

Nutritional Improvement of Crops
PLANT BIOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY / Crop Improvement
Nutritive value of staple crops, Antioxidant-rich and Low phytate crops, Micronutrient Malnutrition, Human nutrition, Herbicide tolerant crops, Climate smart and high-yielding crops, Nutrient use efficiency, Genome editing by CRISPR-Cas9/dCas9/C2c2 and Cpf1/2 technology.
Description of Research
Globally, more people are affected by micronutrient malnutrition than by AIDS, HIV and malaria combined, striking a third of the globe, especially women and pre-schoolers. Those afflicted rely on monotonous consumption of staple crops with no or low supplementation with meat or dairy products for their sustenance. Phytic acid (PA) content" in cereal and legume seeds having high affinity for positively charged dietary micronutrients and forms insoluble micronutrient-phytate complexes not assimilated by human gut causing micronutrient deficiencies and thereby rendering bio-fortification of staple foods futile. Single best strategy is to remove PA in cereal and legume seeds consumed globally by transgenic and CRISPR-Cas9/Cpf1/2 genome editing technology. We propose to design phytase-rich tomatoes, phytate-free cereals and legumes for alleviating global micronutrient malnutrition.
Rice grain quality is crucial economic trait for consumers as it's one of the staple food crops, worldwide. Low levels of iron & zinc in rice grains cause nutritional deficiency related disorders, predominantly anaemia, especially in pregnant women and kids (< 5y) that rely on cereal-based diets. Improved rice lines with enhanced iron (Fe) content and low cadmium (Cd) in grains for improvised micronutrient quality. Generation of constructs and vectors for expression of CRISPR-Cas9/Cpf1 based genome editing in rice that may be used for other monocots or cereal crops.
Vigna umbellata (Thunb.), called rice bean, is a hotspot for biological diversity – an economically important crop in Asia. Underutilized forage legume which has no breeding programme for its improvisation. Identified as having high nutritional potential. Whole genome of V. umbellata (Ricebean) has been sequenced and submitted to NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRP132447). Genes of Chromosomal and Non-Chromosomal regions have been identified by aligning with Closely related and Distantly related gene models. Improving the traits like unpalatability, late flowering and indeterminacy in rice bean crop utilizing CRISPR-Cas9/Cpf1/2 genome editing technology
Antioxidants and ROS play a crucial role in fruit ripening and maturation. Our vision of efficient scavenging of ROS during late maturation and postharvest stages of tomato fruits by over expression of the ascorbate-glutathione pathway genes shall enhance their shelf life as well as their antioxidant value and reduce the postharvest losses. In addition, this biotechnological approach may be extrapolated to other fruits and vegetables.
Weeds are the most serious biological constraint to upland rice production. Manual weed control over large areas is not feasible from the point of labour supply and monetary costs. Genetic engineering of herbicide resistant crop plants allow the application of non-selective herbicide to virtually kill all kinds of weeds without injuring crop plant. There is urgent need to develop crop plants simultaneously resistant to more than one herbicide with different mode of action to effectively control weed infestation by pre- as well as post-emergent herbicide application. We propose to modify the target site of EPSPS and ALS rice genes via CRISPR-Cas9 technology to confer resistance to herbicides and develop transgenic rice plants tolerant to non-selective herbicides. The same technology shall be extrapolated to other crops that face the weed constraint.
The Group has recently perfected the genotype-independent regeneration of, and transformation protocols for, rice cultivars (Kaul et al., Meth Mol Biol, 2021) and contributed to the understanding the role of the ascorbate-glutathione pathway in tolerance to drought and salinity stresses (Raja et al., Plant Cell Rep, 2021).

Military team takes over medical, operational management of the Deva County Hospital
A team of the Defence Ministry (MApN) consisting of four commissioned officers took over the medical and operational management of the Deva County Hospital on Wednesday, according to a statement released by the ministry.
It is about Lieutenant-Colonel Constantin Vlase, a doctor to act as the manager; Major Bogdan-Ion Tambrea, a doctor to act as medical director; Lieutenant-Colonel Catalin Ciopei, to act as logistics officer, and Lieutenant-Colonel Sorin Vartolomei, to act as staff officer.
According to MApN, Vlase, a medical director of the Aristide Serfiodi Emergency Military Hospital of Galati is a specialising in infectious diseases and has performed two missions in the Afghanistan theatre of war.
Health Minister Nelu Tataru announced in Deva on Wednesday that the local county emergency hospital is under military management and all the medical staff will be tested for infection with the new coronavirus.
He said that the military management of the hospital will be maintained for as long as needed, but said that he noticed an involvement from the county and local administration in solving problems.
"This management will only stay in place as long as it is needed, and in three to four weeks we can think of a civilian management that will take over and meet all the requirements," said Tataru.

Meet the Ivorian entrepreneur who uses bicycle to produce organic chocolate

Dana Mroueh is an Ivorian entrepreneur who is into the production of artisanal chocolate called MonChoco. The chocolatier uses Ivorian cocoa beans to make her special raw chocolate product.
Ivory Coast is the world's leading producer of cocoa but it was virtually impossible to find an Ivorian produced chocolate made from cocoa beans from Ivory Coast. In recent times, the trend is changing with the emergence of entrepreneurs like Mroueh.
Mroueh sources her beans directly from farmers and then processes them by drying the beans on top of her factory roof in Abidjan. The beans are then taken to the factory where a grinding bike sits. The carefully sorted cocoa beans are then poured into a funnel and transformed into a paste by a grinder activated through pedaling.
Here's how much Virgil Abloh was worth at the time of his death
Salon owner for 17 years now behind the only Black woman-owned beauty academy in South Jersey
"The bicycle grinder is an opportunity for us to practice our eco-friendly philosophy. We really want to have a minimal impact on the environment by using minimal electricity, and combine it with a short work out which also makes it a playful process," Mroueh told Reuters.
MonChoco is praised for its unique flavor, and according to Mroueh, unique flavours lie in the fact that the beans are not roasted and have not added additives, which highlights the authentic taste of the raw bean.
"We are artisanal chocolatiers, so our process is manual, from the cocoa pods to the final product of packaging the chocolate tablets," she told Reuters. "One of our trademarks is that we do not roast the cocoa pods, we use raw chocolate. That enables the cocoa pods to retain its flavors and nutritional values. It's richer in protein, it's richer in anti-oxidants, and the taste is really different."
According to Mroueh, she was inspired by her grandfather, who was an outstanding entrepreneur, to produce chocolate. Lionesses of Africa reports that her team is mainly composed of dynamic women.
Although her grandfather was an outstanding entrepreneur, Mroueh did not have much to do with entrepreneurship until she completed university, where she studied management and economy. Since launching her business, the Ivorian has not looked back.
"The best part of being an entrepreneur is to know our work is benefiting not only the person who is eating the chocolate but also every single person along the value chain, from the farmer to the chocolatier," she said.
"Also, I get great satisfaction seeing the team strongly espouse courage and persistence. My advice to other women looking to startup in business would be to keep in mind that perseverance and patience will be greatly needed."


Does this service include both likes and views?
Yes! We'll promote your posts and help your photos and posts get more likes, and if you post a video, we'll also help that video get viewed by more users as well. The views and likes won't always be perfectly proportionate; for example, your video might get 310 views but only 280 likes. This is perfectly normal, and is the nature of Instagram. It would be strange if every person that viewed your video also liked it.
Does Instagram allow this service?
As far as we can tell by Instagram's terms of service, there isn't anything that prohibits third party services promoting posts or retrieving content automatically from an API. Our service (as far as we know) is also legal in every country that we can think of. However, it is still up to you (the user) to check with Instagram's terms of service, as well as your local and state laws, to make sure that you're not violating any terms or laws. Instagram frequently updates their terms of service, and while our service is fine to use now, that could change in the future. We've been growing Instagram pages for over 8 years, and have never had an issue with a banned Instagram profile or a message from Instagram about using our Autolikes service.
Will these likers engage or comment?
They certainly have the potential to, but it is not part of our service. If you get some engagement and/or comments from our service, it should be seen as an added bonus. We cannot control these users, but can only introduce them to your content, and if they find it interesting, they will like it. Once our quota is met and we've achieved your desired number of likes, we stop there. If you receive comments from that round of promotion, that's great! It's just not a separate service that we offer, and we can't guarantee that your new likers will follow you, comment, etc.

Q: How to pass data from Form to Class method? I can't figure out how to pass data from a form's TextBox to a class method for calculation and then get the result back to the form to display in a TextBox or ListBox or whatever. I keep getting

Cannot implicitly convert type int to System.Windows.Forms.Textbox

exception in my class.
For my setup I have a form with three textboxes (TxtFirstNumber, TxtSecondNumber, TxtResult) and a button (BtnCalculate). When I click the button I want the two numbers to get passed to the class to add and the result to appear on the form textbox TxtResult. I have a form called "form1" and a class called "class1".
This is my code so far:
class class1
{
    public static void AddTwoNumbers(int FirstNumber, int SecondNumber, ref TextBox TxtResult)
    {
        TxtResult = FirstNumber + SecondNumber;
    }
}

public partial class form1 : Form
{
    private void BtnCalculate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Class1.AddTwoNumbers(Convert.ToInt32(TxtFirstNumber.Text), Convert.ToInt32(TxtSecondNumber.Text), ref TxtResult);
    }
}

A: Don't pass the UI controls to the back-end (where your logic is). Instead, ask the back-end for the result so the front-end can decide what to do with it:
internal static class Calculator
{
    public static int Add(int firstNumber, int secondNumber)
    {
        return firstNumber + secondNumber;
    }
}

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    private void BtnCalculate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        int firstNumber;
        int secondNumber;

        if (!int.TryParse(TxtFirstNumber.Text, out firstNumber))
        {
            MessageBox.Show("first number is not a number");
            return;
        }
        else if (!int.TryParse(TxtSecondNumber.Text, out secondNumber))
        {
            MessageBox.Show("second number is not a number");
            return;
        }

        TxtResult.Text = Calculator.Add(firstNumber, secondNumber).ToString();
    }
}

As you can see, I have also updated the names so that they reflect their meaning and comply with c# standard conventions.

A: You need to use text property of the textbox. Answer is in the error message "Cannot inplicitly convert type 'int' to 'System.Windows.Forms.Textbox'"
TxtResult.Text = (FirstNumber + SecondNumber).ToString();

A: TxtResult is a TextBox control. You are assigning the sum of two numbers (an integer) to that control. You can't do that. They are not the same type.
You could however convert the integer to a string, and then assign that string to the Text property of the TextBox control like this:
TxtResult.Text = (FirstNumber + SecondNumber).ToString();

A: Keep logic separate from presentation
class class1
{
    public static int AddTwoNumbers(int FirstNumber, int SecondNumber)
    {
        return FirstNumber + SecondNumber;
    }
}

public partial class form1 : Form
{
    private void BtnCalculate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       int v1 = Convert.ToInt32(TxtFirstNumber.Text);
       int v2 = Convert.ToInt32(TxtSecondNumber.Text);
       int result = Class1.AddTwoNumbers(v1, v2);
       TxtResult.Text = result.ToString();
    }
}

TDF evolved following discussions between automakers and BAMG related to increased diversity, equity and inclusion for Black media in the automotive sphere. These efforts have created additional opportunities to help prepare the next generation of automotive media professionals.
TDF is led by respected automotive media experts Kimatni D. Rawlins, BAMG founder and publisher of Automotive Rhythms Communications; Greg Morrison of Bumper2Bumpertv; and other key journalists and publishers including Marcus Amick and Teia B. Collier.
"The goal of TDF is to extend educational opportunities to HBCU students who may not be aware of the myriad media paths in automotive communications … My automotive journalism career began with an internship with a major auto manufacturer, so I am thankful for the opportunity to share my knowledge and experience, and the experiences of fellow BAMG members with Clark Atlanta interns," said Rawlins.
Supported by General Motors, the TDF internship, kicking off September 28th, is designed to highlight career opportunities as journalists, videographers, photographers, publicists, marketers, and digital and social media pundits covering the auto industry. Participants will showcase their work on various platforms at the end of the internship, and will also liaise with GM communications executives, designers, and product planners through a series of presentations and interviews.
"We are excited to enter into a second year of partnership with BAMG to support the amazing students of Clark Atlanta University," said Michelle Malcho, vice president Product and Brand Communications, General Motors. "We look forward to learning together and helping to prepare them for exciting careers in communications and journalism."
TDF's mission parallels that of the Department of Mass Media Arts at Clark Atlanta University, which provides students with rigorous academic and professional training, complemented by a strong liberal arts education.
"We continue to move with momentum to ensure our scholars at Clark Atlanta University have access to a world-class education and that mission includes offering initiatives that focus on technology and enhancing their analytical thinking skills," said Clark Atlanta University president, George T. French, Jr., Ph.D. "We want our students to exercise their creativity, be competitive in the world of technology and be included in the technology career pipeline. Initiatives such as this bring them one step closer to that goal."
Clark Atlanta student, Joshua Paul Williams was a participant in the inaugural TDF session. "The business experience I inherited from participating in The Driving Force Multimedia Internship was far more than I could have imagined," said Williams. "The program focused on individually developing each student's communications and networking skills which has given me lifelong connections, practical lessons, and an expanded perspective."

Sylo – Millions
Known for delectable tracks like "Ginny" and "FOMO," Sylo (formerly Sylo Nozra) is back today with a new name and new single "Millions." Introducing this chapter in his artistry, the Korean-Canadian alt R&B aficionado takes a step into a more intimate side of his musicality that showcases his sultry vocals over delicate production. Written in a remote cottage last fall, "Millions" is a silky love letter written in the form of manifesting none other than millions of dollars. Listen HERE.
Fusing acoustic instrumentation with intentionally stripped back production, Sylo continues to build out his own breed of modern alt R&B. A breezy listen from front to back, 'Millions' is a tender, windows down type of song that begs for the warmer months to come.
Giving a closer look into the track, Sylo said, "This song isn't about being rich. It's about letting my imagination run wild."
At the end of April through early May, Sylo will be joining MICHELLE for a North American run that will hit Philadelphia, Boston, DC and New York. All tour and ticketing info can be found HERE.

ABOUT SYLO
Raised in Toronto, ON, Sylo's take on R&B is inspired by his environment. He was born into a Korean family with religious roots. This inspired him to sing as a child in church services, leading him to learn several instruments at once. Sylo's musical talents were further enhanced by his older sister who played 90s R&B and hip-hop to full effect. Once he learned how to apply his inspirations onto his own productions, he became driven to write and perform his own songs for the world. Sylo has now become known for his silky records that were created in his own bedroom studio. The work has received global recognition, charting virally on both Spotify and Apple Music. Additionally, his songwriting skills have placed him in studios amongst GRAMMY-winning/nominated songwriters in Los Angeles, London and Toronto. This year will see Sylo on tour supporting MICHELLE and more new music to come.

EBONY Magazine announces the host for its annual EBONY Power 100 Gala and this year's special award recipients.
Acclaimed actor and comedian Chris Tucker will steer the star-studded event.
Distinguished industry leaders to be recognized with the EBONY Icon Award and Inaugural Chairman's Award
Following the recent unveiling of its prestigious annual EBONY Power 100 List in celebration those whose work and heroism continue to inspire and influence society, EBONY magazine has announced the host for this year's highly anticipated EBONY Power 100 Gala, presented by Nationwide, taking place in Los Angeles at the Beverly Hilton on Nov. 30.
EBONY is also pleased to announce the recipients of this year's coveted special awards which will be presented during Hollywood's star-studded spectacle.
Helming the celebration of the 2018 EBONY Power 100 list honoring crusaders, innovators, disruptors, business titans, entrepreneurs and MVPs who are making a difference in the community at the EBONY Power 100 Gala is international award-winning actor Chris Tucker. Once a frequent stand-up performer on Def Comedy Jam in the 1990s, Tucker is best known today for playing Det. James Carter in the Rush Hour film series. Chris is currently returning to the stage on his stand-up comedy tour that has received rave reviews all over the world, while spending much of his spare time traveling and working with his foundation.
EBONY Media Operations CEO Michael Gibson will present the inaugural Chairman's Award to former BET Chairman and CEO Debra Lee. The trailblazing business dynamo joined BET as executive vice president and general counsel in 1986, was promoted to president and COO of the network that reaches approximately 78 million homes in March 1996 and to chairman and CEO in 2005. She guided much of the 38-year-old network's growth beyond music and into entertainment, news and public affairs programming, including original movies, late-night talk shows and concert specials, with successes such as bringing to cable The Game in 2014 and the miniseries. The New Edition Story in 2017, the launch of BET.com and the acquisition of the television rights to Black Girls Rock!
This year's prestigious EBONY Icon Award will be presented to Motown Records. There simply isn't a name in music more synonymous with era-defining hits, star-making, and innovation than Motown. Started in Detroit with a dream and an $800 loan, Berry Gordy's Hitsville USA became a cultural behemoth that swiftly hooked pop culture with a brand new beat. The unmistakable, irrepressible sound of young America didn't just dominate the charts–it crossed the racial divide during the social upheaval of the 1960's. The hits and cultural influence doesn't stop as Motown and its family of imprints explore new genres in partnerships with labels including Quality Control Music, which set the stage for signings of Migos and Lil Yachty. In recognition of the brand's iconic relevance and impact, EBONY is pleased to honor Motowns decades of success. The award will be accepted by Motown President, and EVP of Capitol Music Group. Ethiopia Habtemariam, who is also honored in the Women Up category for her outstanding leadership in the music industry.

Habtemariam has ushered in a new generation of artists with acts like JAMESDAVIS, Lil Baby, City Girls, and BJ The Chicago Kid. Last summer, Billboard magazine recognized her as Universal Music Group's Most Powerful African-American Woman.
"We are delighted to announce our celebrated host and award recipients for this year's EBONY Power 100 Gala," says Gibson. "Since unveiling our 2018 EBONY Power 100 List last month, the anticipation and buzz throughout the country has been very exciting to see. This year's gala will surely prove to be the most memorable to date, and I would like to personally congratulate all our honorees."
The 2018 EBONY Power 100 List recognizes the most influential and inspiring from the business, philanthropic, entertainment, and social activism communities in the following eight categories: Community Crusaders, Disruptors, Entertainment & Arts, Entrepreneurs, Innovators, MVPs, Power Players and the coveted Women Up.

Director Quinten Peelen to leave Liszt Competition
As per 1 March 2016, Director Quinten Peelen (43) will be leaving the International Franz Liszt Piano Competition to become the Director of the K.F. Hein Foundation, also in Utrecht.
Peelen managed the organisation for 16 years, firmly establishing the Liszt Competition nationally and internationally, with masterclasses and selection rounds worldwide and an impressive Career Development Programme for the Prize winners.
A year ago, the 10th edition of the triennial music competition was held at TivoliVredenburg. Mariam Batsashvili, Peter Klimo and Mengjie Han, in the presence of Her Majesty Queen Máxima, won First, Second and Third Prize, respectively. As part of their Prizes they have been giving concerts in no fewer than thirty countries. As the director, Peelen was a pioneer in the international tour for the Prize winners.
Quinten Peelen: "It has always been a great pleasure to work and cooperate here; it has been a dream job. While the job carries a lot of responsibility it is also a tremendous privilege to be so intensely involved with young top musicians at the start of their careers. Naturally I am leaving with a heavy heart but also with a good feeling: I am proud of what I was able to accomplish and of the fantastic team that works there now. I would like to thank all my colleagues and the board for a wonderful time."
Chairman of the Board Martijn Sanders: "I was Chairman of the Board for more than half of the 16 years that Quinten Peelen worked at the Liszt Competition. During that period I was impressed with his many qualities of which I would like to mention his creativity, loyalty, resourcefulness, and diplomacy. But this list is far from complete. The board is grateful to Quinten and wishes him a successful future."
About Quinten Peelen
Quinten Peelen (1972) has been working at the International Franz Liszt Piano Competition since 1997, first as chef de bureau and as of 1999 as director. Aside from his work for the Competition he is also an advisor to the Council for Culture (international culture policy) and music advisor of the Erasmus Huis in Jakarta. In 2010 he was the first Dutchman to receive a grant within the framework of the prestigious Cultural Leadership International programme of the British Council. During the past years Peelen was Vice President of the World Federation of International Music Competitions in Geneva, Chairman of the Board of the theatre group Schweigman& and a member of the Utrecht National Committee for the 4 May Commemoration.

As we progress with our treatment for liver related disease there is an increased need to risk-stratify patients. In normal individuals without liver disease 80% of cholate compound is taken up and degraded by the liver. However, with liver damage development of porto-systemic shunting can occur. The increased delivery of cholate to the systemic circulation is proportional to the degree of hepatic shunting and therefore the amount of liver damage.
Patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) take both oral and IV cholate and blood is drawn over the course of 90 minute in 15 minute increments. The blood is then assessed for the amount of cholate in the periphery. Using a formula an average shunt value is derived for each patient. These patients are followed for 6-8 years and shunt values are compared with age, demographics, and clinical outcomes. The change of shunt values over time are also compared with clinical outcomes.
The measure of oral dose peripheral blood cholate correlates with the amount of porto-systemic shunting in patients. The average shunt value derived can be used to risk stratify patients and possibly predict death and decompensation. Patients with NASH have a consistent increase in shunt value correlated with clinical findings.

Iran's strong hand in the Arab world is missing in the Caucasus....
الثلاثاء 24 تشرين الثاني 2020 - 6:54 ص 0
Iran's strong hand in the Arab world is missing in the Caucasus.....
Alex Vatanka....MEI
Alex Vatanka is the Director of MEI's Iran Program and a Senior Fellow with MEI's Frontier Europe Initiative. The views expressed in this piece are his own.....
Iranian military advisers and pro-Iran foreign proxy groups are present from Yemen and Iraq to Syria and Lebanon. Tens of thousands of armed men operating across the Middle East look to Tehran for guidance and patronage. This sort of sway has made Iran into a regional power broker — at least in the Arab world. But Tehran's deep ideological and financial investments in Arab states have come at the expense of neglecting Iranian interests closer to home.
The recent peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan that ended weeks of military conflict right on Iran's doorstep showcases Tehran's near irrelevance in the dynamics of the fragile South Caucasus. Despite Iran's efforts to broker some kind of regional agreement to end the conflict, Tehran was quickly proven to be nearly a non-factor. Put simply, it did not have the clout to influence the outcome of the conflict. Instead, the Russians and the Turks shaped the course of the war and its cessation. Now, the Iranians are nervously watching as Russian and Turkish military forces deploy to keep Armenian and Azerbaijan troops apart and uphold the peace agreement. The Iranian regime is embarrassed and it should be. Tehran's close geographic proximity and deep historic ties to the South Caucasus should make it a natural player in the region, were it not for the Islamic Republic's overwhelming focus on the Arab world.
Armenia, no longer a neighbor of Iran?
Once the Russians and the Turks managed to bring about a peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Iran had to confront speculation that it might lose its international border with Armenia. As part of the peace deal, Azerbaijan proper would be linked to the autonomous republic of Nakhchivan via a transit corridor running along what is the Armenian-Iranian border. While Iran may lose its border access to Armenia, Tehran disputes this, with Saeed Khatibzadeh, the spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, saying Iran's international borders had not changed and "will not change in the future."
Still, the charge and the denials by Tehran underscored just how out of loop it was and the fact that it was playing catch-up with the realities of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict. It was not merely about symbolism either — billions of dollars are at stake for Iran as the South Caucasus enters a new era. Media close to the Revolutionary Guards in Iran were quick to point to Turkey as the big winner in the rearranged regional map. Turkey now can reach mainland Azerbaijan without needing to go through Iran as a transit point, while Iran has lost its transit route to Armenia.
As Radio Farda reported, some Iranian media pointed out that "Russia and Turkey could 'easily exclude Iran from any future energy transfer routes to Europe,' causing Tehran billions of dollars in damage." Later Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had to dismiss what he called "baseless rumors" that Iran had lost its access to Armenia thanks to the 5-km-wide transit corridor to be manned by Russian forces. Whatever the truth, the Iranian government was clearly in damage-control mode and everyone could see it.
Tehran, Russia, and the South Caucasus
From the beginning of the latest round of conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, it was clear that Moscow did not worry about Tehran's stance or potential involvement. The Russians, as it turned out rightly, were worried about the Turks and Ankara's ability to make further inroads into the South Caucasus. Tehran simply sat back and echoed Russian positions as the conflict raged on.
From the start, the Iranians had two main concerns. The first was that the war would fuel a sense of Azerbaijani nationalism inside of Iran, where some 20 million people are of ethnic Azerbaijani background, and support for Baku's military campaign to recapture Armenian-occupied Azerbaijani lands. In other words, the Iranian authorities feared the potential for spillover, where Tehran would unwittingly be dragged into the Armenian-Azerbaijani war. The second factor that concerned Iran from the outset was the likelihood that Turkey's proactive policy of supporting Azerbaijan would come to give Ankara a bigger stake in the future of the South Caucasus.
That fear is now a reality Iran has to learn to live with going forward. In addition to Turkey, Azerbaijan also received military support from Israel, Iran's arch-rival. The Iranians have had to deal with a strong Azerbaijani-Israeli relationship for some time, but they are probably assuming that ties between the two countries are set to become even deeper moving forward — and that can only trouble Iran.
The simple truth is that over the last 20 years or so Iran has chosen to prioritize the Arab world as its regional focus. When the Armenian-Azerbaijani war was raging in the early 1990s, Iran could play a credible role as an independent broker. It cannot do so now because it has lost so much leverage and has opted to let Moscow shape Iranian interests in the South Caucasus. It is a strategy bound to put Iran's interests in the South Caucasus at the mercy of Russia, and Iran is already paying dearly for it.
