Rush's Breakthrough Concept Album 2112 Has Been Nominated for the 2018 Polaris Heritage Prize
Update: Thanks to YOUR hard work, 2112 has won the public vote! Congratulations, Rush!
Though it was released over four decades ago, Rush's seminal concept album 2112 continues to elicit praise and respect. Case in point is the album's recent inclusion in the 2018 Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize .
From the Polaris Prize website:
The Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize honours Canadian albums of the past from four distinct time periods: 1960-75, 1976-85, 1986-95 and 1996-05. Like the Polaris Music Prize, winners and nominees for the Heritage Prize are albums of the highest artistic quality, without regards to sales or affiliations.
Think of the Heritage Prize as our version of a hall of fame where we try to determine who would have won the Polaris Music Prize in the years before Polaris existed.
How it works is a select group of Canadian music media and historians gather together each year to create a vote-curated list of 10 Short List-nominated albums per era. Two albums per era, one chosen by public vote and one chosen by juror vote, will be designated as Heritage Prize winners each year.
Accordingly, Rush's 2112 is one of the ten albums released between the years of 1976 and 1985 to be nominated.
Fan voting for the award is currently open and available at this LINK. There will be two winners selected from each category, one via the public fan vote, and the other selected by a jury of music critics, journalists, broadcasters and programmers. Voting will close this coming Thursday, October 18th at midnight. Winners will be revealed on October 23rd.
Rush is no stranger to the Polaris Heritage Prize. Two years ago, during the 2016 voting period, Moving Pictures also took home the award for the years of 1976 and 1985.

5 Gorgeous Locations All Game Of Thrones Fans Should Visit
by SILVERKRIS / August 1, 2017
From breathtaking seaside views to ancient cities, and wintry snowy capes to majestic castles, Game of Thrones has one of the most visually stunning backdrops in the history of television. With the 7th and final season of the HBO hit series premiering on July 17, travel site Zuji Singapore shares a list of filming locations where you can travel to and immerse yourself in the Seven Kingdoms.
https://www.femalemag.com.sg/gallery/culture/gorgeous-locations-game-of-thrones/
#1: Croatia
With its magnificent views and medieval charm, it is no wonder Dubrovnik (above) is one of the main filming locations for the hit series. The diverse cityscape has been a backdrop for both Meereen and King's Landing. Wander its streets and imagine being in iconic scenes, such as the Purple Wedding, the Red Keep and House of the Undying.
#2: Spain
Representing the private residence of House Martell and its famous water gardens of Dorne is the stunning Alcazar (above) located in Seville, Spain. Renowned as the most beautiful palace in the country, it features intricate architecture dating back to the 1300s. With classic Islamic architecture, tranquil courtyards and exceptional gardens, the palace is still being used by the Spanish royal family and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.
#3: Morocco
Who could forget Queen Daenerys Targaryen's conquest of Yunkai and Astapor? Two locations were used to film these epic scenes – Ait-Benhaddou (above), a fortified mud-brick fortress city, was used to represent Yunkai, while the stunning walled town of Essaouira was transformed into Astapor. With the ancient city's citadel and the nearby Ounila River, it's no wonder why the Game of Thrones producers were impressed.
Fun fact: It was also originally used as King's Landing in the un-aired pilot.
#4: Iceland
Beautiful but brutal, the mysterious landscape of Vatnajokull (above), Iceland could not be a more perfect location for the land Beyond The Wall. Known to be one of the largest glaciers in Europe that covers eight per cent of the country, it is also a national park. The Hverfjall Volcano in Lake Myvatn was also used for its icy scenes, where the deadly White Walkers roamed. As producers wanted as much of the scenery to be as true to reality as possible, you'll be able to follow in the footsteps of Jon Snow and the wildlings.
#5: Malta
Before King's Landing found its home in Dubrovnik, Malta's former capital, Mdina, was used as the main filming location throughout the series' first season. With well-preserved historic buildings (above), Mdina fits perfectly with its exotic and medieval grandeur. Unlike King's Landing's seaside locations, it is located in-land of the coast – as a result, only interior shots of the Westerosi capital were depicted.

Henry Schein Animal Health and Vets First Choice have announced the Covetrus board of directors and executive leadership team.
Last April, Henry Schein announced it would be spinning off and merging its animal health business—Henry Schein Animal Health—with Vets First Choice, a technology-driven health care services provider for companion animal and equine veterinarians. The partnership signaled a stronger investment in technology for Henry Schein Animal Health, which has become well known for its clinical products and practice management solutions.
Last month, the pair announced additional information about the anticipated company, including an estimated launch date (February 7) and new name. Initially, the moniker was to be Vets First Corp, but the 2 groups have confirmed that moving forward the company will do business as Covetrus.
According to a joint press release, Covetrus will combine leading practice management software, prescription management, multichannel client engagement services, and supply chain infrastructure to promote connectivity between companion animal, equine, and large animal veterinarians and their clients. The company will employ more than 5,000 people across 25 countries.
Until the merger is consummated, the companies will continue to operate independently. The Covetrus executive leadership team and board of directors have also been named.

16 Horsepower - Live In Berlin (9/03/1996)
16 Horsepower is the group I recommend to those who say that they despise country music. They were one of the greatest groups to emerge from the alternative country, also commonly referred to as alt-country, scene during the '90s. This isn't your stereotypical radio-friendly country music, and for those of you who avoid the genre like the plague, you might very well find yourself saying "I despise most country music" once you've had the opportunity to hear 16 Horsepower and their counterparts. There isn't much information to be found on the internet for the download provided below, although if anyone has info regarding this recording please share it in the comments section. I downloaded this album, along with a few other 16 Horsepower bootlegs, from an individual on Soulseek years ago. I properly tagged all of the tracks, and created the album cover you see above. What I can tell you about this is that it is a bootleg recording of a live performance by 16 Horsepower in front of a small crowd in Berlin Germany on September 3rd, 2006. The group performed a number of songs from both their self-titled EP, as well as their first full-length album, Sack Cloth 'n Ashes, which was released in February earlier that year. While this is no soundboard recording, it is perfectly listenable for a bootleg recording, and captures 16 Horsepower during a time when they were at their creative peak.
16 Horsepower's unique musical style was the result of a fusion of heavy rock with more traditional genres that originated from the South, such as folk, country and bluegrass. They seemlessly wove all of these these influences together with a dark, modern twist, creating a sound that was remarkably unique and refreshing. The group utilized a wide variety of musical instruments, regularly making use of acoustic, electric and steel guitars, upright and flat top bass, accordians, banjos, fiddles, cellos, violins, pianos, organs and keyboards.
The group's lyrics and subject matter often complex religious matters, particularly conflict and redemption. This can be attributed to Edwards' upbringing as the grandson of a traveling Nazarene preacher, which would later influence the creation of his brand of fire and brimstone rock. Despite the group's country and folk roots, they considered themselves to be a rock band first and Among others, they regularly cited Joy Division, The Gun Club, Nick Cave and The Birthday Party as their primary influences. They would eventually cover The Gun Club's "Fire Spirit" on their 1998 EP, The Partisan, and tour with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds in 2004.
In 2005 the group split apart due to personal differences, with some of the members moving on to focus full-time on the side-projects that they had formed prior to the group's split. Lead singer David Eugene Edwards would turn his attention to Wovenhand, a group he formed along with bassist Pascal Humbert while 16 Horsepower was taking a temporary hiatus in 2001. While Humbert would continue to play for Woven Hand after 16 Horsepower disbanded, he primarily focused on his own band, Lilium.

Cue Joaquin Phoenix displaying his downward-pointing thumb. Cleon Peterson's latest sculpture, The Judgement, depicts one of his signature barbarians moments after decapitating an enemy. Like many of his previous 3D work, The Judgement is a life sized sculpture. Exact measurements haven't been provided, but we're assuming this stands six or seven feet tall. The backward glance really sells this piece and provides hints at a narrative. You'll have a chance to see it for yourself, but only if you're in Belgium, home of PLUS ONE Gallery. Be there on February 4 specifically for the opening reception with Peterson in attendance. His solo show at PLUS ONE runs from February 4 through February 20. Check out the full details here.


What OLED 4K TV should I buy?
Vincent has an Nvidia Shield and the Channel Master over-the-air DVR and he's loving it. He's glad he cut the cable. But he wants to upgrade from his old Samsung 1080i TV. What should he get? Rich says that all he really needs on a TV these days is an HDMI and Coax input for his antenna. He doesn't even need a smart TV because they rarely get updated. It's better to get a TV without smart features and a Roku or Apple TV. There is one exception, though. Roku enabled smartTVs are worth it because they do get updated. Amazon also offers TVs with Fire TV built in.

Why does my TV turn on by itself?
Vino recently cut the cable and is streaming YouTube TV, but he's having trouble streaming on his Sony TV on Roku. It turns on by itself. Leo says that it's likely a CEC problem, which has to do with the HDMI settings. It's basically designed to automatically turn on the TV when he turns on his Roku. It doesn't work very well on Sony. So he should go into the settings and turn off BraviaLink. That'll solve it.

Michael is looking to get a TV and wants to know if he should get 1080p or 4K. Leo says he should definitely get 4K moving forward. But even more importantly, he should get a TV with HDR. It has a much nicer look. Leo's choice is the LG B6 OLED. It comes down to budget though. Michael wants a TV that has no bezels. He wants to hang it on the wall like a painting preferrably an 80" model. Leo says that Vizio has a nice one.

Which OLED TV should I buy?
Glen is thinking about buying an OLED TV, and wants to know which one to get — Sony or LG? Which one is more powerful processor-wise? Leo says that Sony isn't doing very well in the TV business, while LG is holding Strong. From a technology viewpoint, it really is a matter of taste. Both make excellent TVs. The chatroom says that Sony has better support.

Does Samsung's QLED TVs use OLED technology?
David is seeing "banding" when he's watching his HDTV. What is that? Leo says that banding usually indicates compression and comes from the source material. If he wants to test it, he should hook up his TV to a Blu-Ray player and play a Blu-ray DVD. He won't see any banding because there's no compression there. But when he watches on satellite or streaming Netflix, he'll see it because the signal is compressed.

We Walked for Mental Health Awareness….
The 12th Annual Community Care Durham Walk for Mental Health Awareness took place at Heydenshore Park in Whitby, and NEW THIS YEAR also at Palmer Park in Port Perry. Participants had the option to walk or run a 1, 2 or 5 km path along the scenic waterfront trail at each location. it was a great opportunity to raise awareness about mental illness in the community, and support those living with mental health issues.
Representatives from Medical Associates of Port Perry and North Durham Family health Team were on hand, including this group of young people from our community. Thanks Jillian, Charlotte, Isabella and Scott for helping to raise awareness for mental health.


In research and in practice, I am interested in the role of historical trauma in the contemporary health status of Urban American Indians. Defined by Lakota scholar Maria Yellow Horse Brave Heart, the term historical trauma describes, "the cumulative emotional and psychological wounding over the lifespan, across generations, emanating from massive group trauma." Viewed as a syndemic condition combined with ubiquitous poverty and inequity, how does historical trauma contribute to the burden of disease in our community? Further, how do we identity and remediate these post-colonial impacts?
In this talk, I'll discuss my conceptualization of how historical trauma is exacerbated by the daily microaggressions facing American Indian people and how this experience is enacted in health demoting behavioral practices, amplifying risk, and ultimately contributing to lowered health and social outcomes. I will then discuss the ways in which decolonization theory is applied in an Urban Indian Health Program to address the specific health needs of the community in a manner that reflects the cultural priorities of indigenous people.
Kerry Hawk Lessard (Shawnee) is the Executive Director of Native American Lifelines, an Urban Indian Health Program serving Native people living in the Baltimore Metropolitan area. An applied medical anthropologist, Lessard partners with American Indian community members to co-create health programming and deliver services that best meet their needs. Kerry has been an active participant in the Upward Anthropology Research Community, urging reconciliation between the discipline of Anthropology and its problematic relationship with American Indians and Alaska Natives. She is a graduate of the University of Maryland, College Park and former student of Drs. Aubrey Williams and Judith Freidenberg.

Baltic Nationalities
In the 1980s, the most extensive movements among the Soviet nationalities, in terms of both participation and far-reaching demands, took place in the Baltic republics. In 1986 peaceful demonstrations began in Riga, the capital of the Latvian Republic, and from there quickly spread to the other two republics. Originally, the demonstrations were held to denounce Stalin's crimes and to demand that the Soviet government reveal the truth about the forced annexation of the Baltic states into the Soviet Union in 1940. In the late 1980s, public demonstrations of 100,000 people or more occurred in all three republics. The republics' parliaments declared their native languages as official and replaced the republics' flags with their pre-1940 national flags. All demanded sovereignty in managing their political and economic affairs, formed quasi-political popular fronts, and replaced their respective CPSU first secretaries with less conservative and more nationalistic party leaders. The Soviet regime made concessions to the Catholic Church in the Lithuanian Republic, permitting the pope to elevate one of the bishops to cardinal. Churches were reopened for worship in all three republics, and a more tolerant attitude toward religion was generally accepted.

Cloud computing has moved into the mainstream, and federal agencies are embracing it along with their private sector counterparts. While there have long been concerns about the security of cloud environments, particularly public cloud which dwells outside an agency's firewall, big strides in cloud security have been made, increasing its attractiveness for a breadth of requirements. At Forcepoint's and CyberScoop's recent Cybersecurity Leadership Forum, a panel of cybersecurity experts with deep federal government experience shared their perspectives on how to deploy secure cloud solutions that meet agency needs.
Jon Check, Sr. Director of Cyber Protection Solutions at Raytheon, also noted that a shift to the cloud requires a foundational workforce change, along with new architectures, tools, training and risk management methodologies for attaining secure deployment. That includes building a common, consistent vocabulary for use in cross-agency cloud-centric discussions.
Allen reported progress at the VA on the shadow IT challenge. Use of unauthorized systems on their network has been reduced by 94 percent in the last few years due to her team, working with the acquisition office, publishing memos, guidance and education on what users can and can't do on the network. She encourages branch staff to purchase whatever products or services they want off of the GSA schedule, but to then ask for her team's help in securing it.
To that end, Claudio Belloli, FedRAMP Program Manager for Cybersecurity at the General Services Administration (GSA), expressed his commitment to helping agencies leverage FedRAMP in finding the right products for Cloud First initiatives.
The panelists also discussed cloud as a net force for change and for improving security architectures. Knausenberger espoused cloud as a forcing function for many initiatives: "When it comes to data handling and standards, cloud is at the forefront of the discussion. Legacy architecture isn't going to work ― new technologies come with cloud." Allen affirmed that cloud initiatives mandate relooking at architecture, rethinking processes, and revisiting existing applications and services. A thorough analysis will help the shift from defense-in-depth to expand boundaries and rethink data management from the top down.
According to Check, maintaining security posture as legacy systems move to the cloud is temporarily increasing complexity; agencies need a thoughtful plan that takes advantage of existing IT investment while providing mechanisms for offloading legacy applications as functionality is moved to the new cloud environment.
But, Belloli warned, the cloud won't solve all agency needs. Educating workers, clearly defining agency-level and department-level responsibilities, and carefully analyzing what fits into an agency's mission will guide adoption of the most appropriate cloud solutions.

The Chappaquiddick scandal didn't hurt Ted Kennedy's reputation in the Senate.
After being elected to the U.S. Senate in 1962, Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy was known as a liberal who championed causes ranging from education to health care, but he was less successful in his personal life.
On July 18, 1969, Kennedy attended a party on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts. He left the party with 29-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne, who had campaigned for Ted's late brother Robert. Soon afterward, Kennedy's car veered off a bridge and Kopechne drowned.
An experienced swimmer, Kennedy said he tried to rescue her but the tide was too strong. He swam to shore, went back to the party, and returned with two other men. Their rescue efforts also failed, but Kennedy waited until the next day to report the accident, calling his lawyer and Kopechne's parents first, claiming the crash had dazed him.
There was speculation that he tried to cover up that he was driving under the influence, but nothing was ever proven. Kennedy pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, received a two-month suspended jail sentence and lost his driver's license for a year.
The scandal may have contributed to his failed presidential bid in 1980, but it didn't hurt his reputation in the Senate. In April 2006, Time magazine named him one of "America's 10 Best Senators," and he was esteemed at the time of his death in 2009.
Next, we'll turn to the best-known of all political scandals: Watergate.

Our client had a challenging facility where there was a high volume of pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Vanguard was tasked with creating safe zones on site without impeding the day to day operation.
Vanguard supplied and installed a mix of safety barriers and bollards depending on the risk in each area (one size does not fit all).

Circle K wants you to be lucky this holiday
The convenience chain taps into a near-universal insight to keep people engaged with a brand that is still young.
By Daniel Calabretta
Alimentation Couche-Tard is hoping an advent calendar contest from Circle K will raise awareness for a brand that was introduced to Canadians three years ago.
As part of its "31 Days of Circle K" campaign, the brand has released a series of spots promoting the contest, showing individuals who claim to "never win anything" – that is, until their phones tell them they've won items ranging from candy to coffee to gift cards.
"Canadians went through a challenging year and deserve some surprise and delight in their lives for the holiday season," says Mélissa Lessard, head of marketing and merchandising for Canada at Couche Tard. "We also know from past experiences that Canadians like to play online games, share wins with friends and interact with our brands in that way."
She says individuals many people feel innately unlucky, an insight that came from discourse with Circle K customers and staff – all of whom "were pleasantly surprised" after playing the game, which consists of tapping on an Advent calendar.
This is the second year Circle K has run an online game for the holidays, something Lessard says its customers are beginning to look forward to. But it is also trying to drive trial among more customers, as well as store traffic for a banner that began replacing the long-running Mac's brand in 2017.
"We always want to grow the circle of customers coming to our stores, and we've noticed that wanting to feel lucky is a desire that has no age, no gender, no geographical constraints. Therefore, it would resonate with everyone who may need a little stop on their journeys," she adds.
Alimentation Couche-Tard noted in its most recent quarterly report that even though traffic remained "soft" throughout its network of Couche Tard, Circle K and Ingo locations due to the pandemic, the effect on sales was "more than" offset by an increase in the average basket size as consumers sought to consolidate their trips.
Although the issue of the pandemic isn't explicitly stated in the campaign, Circle K is looking for ways to keep its customers engaged and remain top of mind, given that they may be wary about going to the brand's physical locations.
The brand looks to create awareness and be in customers' consideration set through the "short" and "relatable" content it's created as well as the compelling prizes, Lessard notes.
Havas handled the creative for the campaign, while MediaCom was tasked with the media buy. Six12 Creative developed the "31 Days of Circle K" contest, administered it and carried out the prize fulfilment. There is paid digital and social.

Very good concert! Music was, of course, great. America played all of the hits! A few more concessionaires would have been great; the poor young man taking care of VIP packages and also trying to satisfy the line of folks just trying buy shirts and other memorabilia was doing his best, but he had a large crowd to try to satisfy on his own. Additionally closing the bars down right after the show started didn't satisfy those who got to the hall just before the show started with no opportunity to get refreshments before being seated.
My wife, brother in law and I enjoyed The America Concert very much. Nice venue and cozy. They played for an hour and forty five minutes of most of their hit songs and some others we really enjoyed. Would like to see them again!
Great show! Really impressive with which passion they played the beautiful songs. Wow!!! Let's see them next time again.

Q: Why can I not use string.length here? OK, I am in a class now that I am taking in C++. It is basic and I am still new. I have a quick question about the string.length() function. Can you compare this for an integer value inside of a if statement? So, if I did
 if(string.length() = 20)
{
cout << "IT VWERKS" << endl;
}

would I get an answer? I tried doing this for a program I was working on and it would not work. Could someone explain this to me?

A: You are using assigment operator = inside if instead of conditional == . so change your code as following .It will work.
if(string.length() == 20)
{
cout << "IT VWERKS" << endl;
}

A: The correct way to do this it to use the comparison operator (==). In this case, replace the first line with:
if (string.length() == 20)

By doing string.length() = 20 you are trying to assign the value 20 to the result of the function length(), and that is not possible. By replacing the operator = with == you are comparing both values. Once they match, the code inside the if statement is executed.
