Paper Gods – Which Is Your Favorite?
July 24, 2017 Daily Duranie	1 Comment
As I continue to kind of sort out my final thoughts on all things Paper Gods, I've been thinking about the album itself. This album took a while to grow on me. Amanda and I spoke about it on the way home from San Francisco, and she surmised that this was a 'thinking person's' album.
I think she's right about that. In my case, it wasn't an album that reached out and grabbed me, but instead it kind of sat bubbling in my head, percolating away. For what seemed like months, I'd listen to the album on repeat in the car, and then I'd put it away for a bit. Then I'd pull it back out, and listen to it again on repeat. I would think about the lyrics, the meaning, the possible story, and the music itself.
There were a few things about the album that just didn't sit well with me. I struggled with the idea that Dom was barely on it, for instance. Yeah, I'm loyal. I know he's not an "official band member". Whatever. He's been with them for so long, it sure feels like he's official. It bugged me. I wasn't totally in love with the feel of the album at first, either. It felt very electronic in parts, and oddly un-Duran Duran like in others. I kept listening. I did not want a repeat of Red Carpet Massacre – an album that I never really enjoyed – so I kept at it, trying to bond.
Somewhere along the line, I must have done just that. The songs no longer sound foreign to me. They no longer feel too electronic, or not DD "enough". I don't even think about who played or wrote what song. They feel just right. Even so, I have favorite songs on every single Duran Duran album. I think we all must have tunes we enjoy more than others, and this one is no different. I also think that looking back on this tour has kind of given new meaning to at least a few of the songs I once struggled with.
When I think of Paper Gods though, a few songs come to mind: Pressure Off, Last Night in the City, and What are the Chances. I am certain this is because the band played all of them on tour, and so they come to mind easily. I also think about The Universe Alone, Planet Roaring, and Cinderella Ride. It's kind of hard to pick a favorite from that list, but in the end it is purely sentiment that drives me.
While I know he didn't write it, there's no arguing that Dom owns the guitar solo in What are the Chances when he plays it live. He took something that wasn't really his and made it so, and the album version is every bit as beautiful, of course. I feel just a teensy bit guilty that I had to remind myself on the way home from San Francisco that John Frusciante actually wrote the guitar part – I'd gotten so used to Dom doing it that I'd forgotten. I'm not normally a ballad person, but on this album it's the two ballads (What are the Chances and Cinderella Ride) that I love hearing most when I'm at home. The words for both ring very close to home for me in completely different ways – which is something I can say for 99% of the album. The lyrics really hit me.
There is a lot to like on this album, and since it's release, I've fallen in love with much of it. It may not have been an album that knocked me over upon first listen, but it is definitely one that made me think, reconsider, and ultimately embrace. It's been a great ride.

One thought on "Paper Gods – Which Is Your Favorite?"
ddtv2013 says:
I still think Paper Gods is my favorite album of the three with this line-up.
Wise lyrics, dance-y music, funky music, Better packed, better wrapped up, better arranged than the previous ones. Keep up the amazing job Dom and guys.
** Of course, with my 1978-2004 Roger and with my Andy ("my"… LOL!) it would have been perfect !!

They partnered with wood worker on creating a rough sawn and stained wood plank cabinetry front. It's the perfect "modern mountain" cabinet front in my opinion and since it's stained, it mixes easily with any wood tone in the floors or ceiling. Part of me wishes I could go back in time and just book them to do the kitchen but at the time (like four months ago) their lead time was four to six months and while we didn't get a quote, I would imagine it would be rather expensive (as it should be). The contractor for the mountain house has an in-house cabinetry team, which makes the process quite seamless, with a three-week lead time (this is very short compared to industry standard, by the way). Of course, we didn't want to totally rip off what deVOL + Sebastien Cox designed, but I really really wanted that look. So we bought a bunch of wood—both rough sawn and smooth—and started staining them to experiment.
The former human being that used to be Youxi988 but is currently taken over by an indecisive crazy person who gets to talk about her indecision on a daily basis for her job.
Hi Emily, I am sure you know, just in case you didn't devol does beautiful Hardware. At 45 pounds, for there aged classic brass cup handles, it isn't bad. (Eg Christopher peacock few hundred ) Even just 9 of them for that counter under the window and run. I get what you are saying, can't change, but just one more singing moment – hence consider adding brass to the kick toe plate, functionally way more practical than a painted finish, and not as expected.
Totally agree. The alder cabinets are stunning. There are amazing products out there that would help mitigate the pink tone. Rubio Monocoat might be the answer to your prayers. You can completely change the wood look with their precolor treatments and reactive effects, all while maintaining the wood grain. This product was a game changer when I decided I couldn't deal with pink-toned red oak floors. Their page has lots of inspiring pics.
Its nice. Just nice. It doesn't feel ant different than any other nice kitchen on . It doesn't feel special and that makes me sad. It feels like settling.
I think this looks amazing. I think your final instincts were right that this kitchen was starting to get a little "overdesigned." The wood inside the glass cabinets, coupled with the show-stopping island, neat hardware, and awesome counters, equals as many "moments" as a kitchen can comfortably have! ha! Kitchens should be timeless and hardworking (read, easy(ish) to keep clean!) BTW, I LOVE that you let us inside your mind and walked us through the design process!
The wood cabinets render stopped my heart! If I had this kitchen dilemma, I would paint the ceiling white with black beams and get dream floors and complimentary wood cabinets. Check all the boxes for Scandi/rustic/refined/chalet/California cabin. But that's just me. I have no doubt you will make this beautiful and new and Youxi988 lovely.
I can't tell you reassuring it is to the rest of us when the inimitable Youxi988 has moments of indecision and panic. We are building a lake cabin and I am living your angst! BTW: the final design is gorgeous and timeless and exactly what a kitchen needs to be.
You're spot on Emily with this kitchen…love and appreciate how you allowed the direction of this space to evolve (as anxiety provoking as that may be)!! That's how some of the best art is created! And I agree that you can't go wrong with Shaker cabinets, along with the warmth of the wood interiors and the added glass on two of the cabinets (that in of itself creates a nice, clean and simple symmetry that appeals to the eye) Less is more especially since that glorious statement of an island is the centerpiece!! As for cabinet pulls, I'm inclined to stick with black. However if you want some warmth to the pulls, have you considered an antique brass finish like some shown in this link? Just my crazy two cents. I know whatever you choose for pulls along with the entire kitchen, will be beyond stunning!! Stay encouraged and know you've so got this!!
Poor thing! These decisions are difficult when you can't easily, or cheaply, change your mind afterwards. I'm thinking about a coloured finish for the wall of cupboards, but really convinced that the hardwear needs to be black and very plain wrought iron. Not Renaissance Fayre, but with a handmade look. Check out Paso Robles Ironworks.

Minix has been offering small boxes that you can use to run Android apps on your TV for the past few years. Now the company is getting ready to launch a new model that can run either Windows 8.1 or Android.
The Minix Neo Z64 is basically a low-power, fanless desktop computer that's small enough to hold in one hand. It's expected to go on sale soon for $129.
Minix is basically cramming the guts of a cheap Windows tablet into this little desktop. It's powered by an Intel Atom Z3735F quad-core processor and features 2GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage.
It has a microSD card reader, 10/100 Ethernet, 2 USB 2.0 ports, 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, and HDMI output. It also has an IR report and comes with a wireless remote control.
Minix will actually ship the Neo Z64 with Google Android 4.4 KitKat, but since this is the company's first model with an x86 processor it'll also be able to run Windows 8.1 and Minix plans to offer an option for users that want to install the operating system themselves.
With a starting price of $129, the Minix Neo Z64 could be an inexpensive alternative to another tiny Windows PC on the way. The Zotac ZBOX PI320 is expected to sell for $199. But that model will come with Windows 8.1 pre-installed. It's not clear if customers who want to install Windows on the Minix computer will have to pay extra.
Update: You can see pictures of the Neo Z64 in action at the HKTDC fair in Hong Kong at Cngadget.
What about a flavor of linux, such as Ubuntu or Mint…or just using the device as an XBMC streamer. Will it be able to handle these tasks as well?
I'd really like to know if the UEFI implementation on this and that Zotac one can boot 64-bit Linux ISOs or if the UEFI firmware is like the ones on Bay Trail T (the Z series ones) tablets where they can only boot 32-bit bootloaders.
Wow this looks like an interesting piece.
Very curious about the details surrounding a Windows install.
Is the memory and storage upgradeable? If not I'd probably go for a better know manufacturer.
Memory and Storage are not upgradeable, but no manufacturer in the world can change that using Z37xx Atoms.
These Chips are bare bones, stripped down versions designed for cheap tablets, they don't have SATA, don't have USB 3.0, don't have anything you wouldn't find in an 8 inch tablet.
What you're getting is something designed to have soldered on RAM chips directly on the motherboard, eMMC storage (think soldered to the motherboard SD-Card in terms of performance), and everything else is connected via USB 2.0, that's why you're only getting 10/100 MBit/s, because everything else would be hamstrung by the slow USB 2.0 speed.
My Ainol Inovo8 tablet has usb 3.0 port. It is up to manufacturer to decide if they want to implement all features supported by Intel SOC.
The Z3735F SoC doesn't have USB 3.0 support.
It has a lane where to connect high speed USB 3.0 controller.
What interface does that lane use?
Does it have PCI? Or some other expansion technology that has high enough bandwidth to support USB 3.0?
How do you like the Inovo8? I'm thinking of ordering a couple but haven't found a good review of them yet.
Battery life is not great as expected from 3500mah battery. But I use it mainly as big laptop substitute and also bought power bank just in case. Also windows 8.1 was bluescreening a lot when coming back from sleep. So I disabled sleep when on AC. Wifi is 30mbps tops and sometimes doesn't reconnect after sleep but that appears to be W8 problem. Another big problem is touchscreen. Edges of a screen lack sensitivity and precision when using fingers. Will try with stylus when it arrives. Also there is a weird glitch with touchscreen when tablet lies on desk. If you hover you hand over it like 2 inch from unit it starts to register touches all over the screen! This does never happen when you hold the unit in hands.
It could be my unit though. I noticed that issue with touchscreen is actually happening only when AC adapter is connected. Also I have updated wifi drivers and will need to check how it works now when resuming from sleep as they claim they fixed re-connection issue. Also I am not sure if it was wifi driver update but now sensitivity on edges of the screen is improved? Maybe just my mind playing tricks on me.
I'm thinking the Windows will be free if you want it. MS has dropped the licensing fee to like $0 dollars for products in this price range I think. They just need to make bing the default search engine on IE as shipped.
That can be changed by the user is my understanding. Though anyone who would know enough to do that would know enough to install a different browser altogether.
Again too bad no USB 3 port though.
I'm super interested, as long as it can boot linux. If it has a 32 bit UEFI, then forget it. ..
I'm concerned about this too.
I can live without USB 3.0 and somewhat without gigabit Ethernet but not being able to boot popular desktop Linux distros using their default ISOs is a deal breaker.
Brad, any idea if this will be able to dual boot (android and windows)?
Also, any idea of a release date?
This would answer my pain points about Android WRT flash playback on the web… so many sites premium content sites ONLY have flash.
If ConsoleOS works as advertised in a few months then it will dual boot. And there is supposed to be a free version.
I wonder why they chose the Z3735F. Is it really so much cheaper than the other Atoms that it's worth losing gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0?
$10 more and you can get an HP Chromebox. I don't see a good reason to get any of these cheap Android sticks/boxes now that we have $139 Haswell Celeron Cromeboxes.
Because a Chromebox cannot run windows apps or android apps.
Soon Chrome OS will run Android apps.
How can Windows run in 2GB Ram? Even Android phones these days have 3GB. Plus, we are just on the cusp of 64 bit Android. I think I'll wait for the next gen.
Using Win 8.1 32 bit it runs fluidly on a number of tablets such as the Dell Venue Pro and Asus T100. You just have to use it for what it can do and not as a power user. For example, I've had 8 tabs open in chrome while having a few things like Pandora in the background and it is very smooth. Handles 1080P youtube and flash videos easily. But I'd never try and have 40 Chrome tabs open or use CPU or RAM intensive programs, nor do I use it for gaming. 90% of casual computer users want fast web browsing and streaming video from their laptops. That is sot of the idea behind a Chromebook. A 2 GB Baytrail computer does this equally well, with some additional capability as well. It is particularly good if using legacy apps is important to you.

Q: SQL Update with Subquery as Data source doesn´t work (Postgresql) i have the following SQL DML Update command, but the syntax isn´t correct and the command doesn´t work:
UPDATE hmsg_vehicle_category
SET hmsg_vehicle_category.hmsg_id, hmsg_vehicle_category.vehiclecategories_inputname
SELECT l_p.hmsg_id, tmp_p_vc.inputname
FROM hmsg_him_product AS l_p INNER JOIN (  SELECT p.id, vc.inputname
                                           FROM him_product p INNER JOIN vehicle_category vc
                                              ON p.id = vc.product
                                           ORDER BY p.id, vc.inputname DESC ) AS tmp_p_vc
    ON l_p.products_id = tmp_p_vc.id
WHERE l_p.hmsg_id = 171;

How can i execute this SQL command? Where is the mistake in the snytax?
Thanks for help !
Greetz
Marwief

A: Something like:
update hmsg_vehicle_category set
    hmsg_id = l_p.hmsg_id,
    vehiclecategories_inputname = tmp_p_vc.inputname
from hmsg_him_product as l_p
    inner join him_product as p on p.id = l_p.products_id
    inner join vehicle_category as vc on vc.product = p.id
where l_p.hmsg_id = 171

Be warned, this one will update all records in hmsg_vehicle_category table. May be you want to add this into where clause:
update hmsg_vehicle_category as hvc set
    vehiclecategories_inputname = tmp_p_vc.inputname
from hmsg_him_product as l_p
    inner join him_product as p on p.id = l_p.products_id
    inner join vehicle_category as vc on vc.product = p.id
where
    l_p.hmsg_id = 171 and hvc.hmsg_id = 171

But I cannot advice something more specific at the moment, because it's unclear from your question.

Game of Thrones – 'A Golden Crown'
VISERYS TARGARYEN: Who can rule without wealth, or fear, or love?
As we move into the second half of Game of Thrones' debut season, two of the most central concepts of George R.R. Martin's saga begin to assert themselves in deeper ways: children and lineage. 'A Golden Crown' is an episode filled with the lingering shadows of lost childhood and assumptions, or presumptions, of birthright.
David Benioff & D.B. Weiss present, of course, probably Game of Thrones' first true watershed, "OMG they just did that!" moment with the horrendous death of Viserys Targaryen, given the titular 'golden crown' by Khal Drogo when he finally pushes his luck a little too far with the Dothraki, who take his demands just a touch too literally. Game of Thrones would of course top this many times over – Ned Stark's shocking execution in 'Baelor' at the end of the first season would be the next, and the one the series will forever be immortalised for is the so-called 'Red Wedding' in the third season's penultimate episode 'The Rains of Castamere' – both examples of which cement the idea of the penultimate episodes of Game of Thrones always provide the biggest shock events or battles, before a calmer, scene-setting finale. We're some way from that yet. Right now, Game of Thrones just pulled a flanker in the sixth episode.
In some ways, we should have seen Viserys' death coming (and naturally those familiar with the book 'A Game of Thrones' will have been expecting it). He was a purely one-dimensional creation designed primarily to facilitate the emergence of his sister Daenerys as the Khaleesi, shedding her Westerosi roots and embracing the culture of the Dothraki she was sold into sexual slavery to.
Viserys was designed to be the spoiled, entitled example of masculine, male white privilege which dominates the Seven Kingdoms; not a warrior, not a fighter, but a man who demands respect and obedience purely by the factor of his genetic line and 'rightful' inheritance by birth. Viserys spent years as an exile from his own country, allowing the resentment toward the rebels who stole his father's crown (and his future crown) from under him, and consistently indoctrinating Daenerys to think of him in terms of a sundered future King.
What Viserys never realised, of course, was that he was always just a pawn in a bigger game – that being played by the restoration conspiracy controlled by Varys, Illyrio Mopatis and undoubtedly more shadowy power brokers. From the moment Illyrio gives the dragon eggs to Dany, it's clear they knew Viserys wasn't the Targaryen's to restore and stabilise the realm, but rather his sister off the back on her army of horse lords.
She was the key to regaining control of the Seven Kingdoms, and arguably even by the point she allows Drogo to boil her brother's head in molten gold, Dany remains still on that path to self-discovery and self-awareness. Placing the dragon eggs in the fire and realising she cannot be burned by the flames is an early point in her mystical awakening as the 'Mother of Dragons' to come, but right now she has largely just been radicalised by the Dothraki. The chrysalis is still yet to hatch.
Viserys then soon outlived his usefulness as a player in the game, but he works well as a mirror to reflect how much Daenerys changes when she becomes Drogo's wife and enters Dothraki culture and customs – to the point she's eating the heart of a Dothraki horse, raw, with a determination and zeal no princess of the Seven Kingdoms could ever contemplate; a ritual designed to help determine the sex of the child, though Viserys claims worriedly upon learning it's a boy: "He won't be a true Dragon".
Viserys is an example of what rapidly becomes a dying breed; white male entitlement to power. Game of Thrones' entire journey, often portrayed through Daenerys' rise to become a powerful Queen of multiple kingdoms, is all about the subversion of these antiquated cultural norms in this feudal world. The fact Dany starts her journey in a derivation of Mongol savagery, far away from 'civilisation', arguably serves as the catalyst for her transformation.
The aforementioned ritual continues the show's leaning toward visions and prophecy, centered almost always around children and lineage. "The stallion who mounts the world" is the Dothraki version of the Azor Ahai legend in many respects, with Dany & Drogo's already-named child Rhaego believed as the Dothraki incarnation of their manifest destiny; a leader who will unite all Dothraki tribes and conquer all of their lands. Rhaego too serves as a derivation of her brother 'Rhaegar', who of course as we now know is the father of Jon Snow, who could well be Azor Ahai reborn and play into the same Westerosi myth story about a man who will save/destroy/create the world in his image. We may be many years away from such realisations and connectives in the show itself, but the fact Game of Thrones is already layering them in displays a significant amount of confident storytelling.
The mysticism across the Narrow Sea is sharply in contrast and parallel to the continued political games taking place in Westeros, as conspiracies and threats continue to spiral around the characters in Kings Landing and beyond, near the Iron Throne. Ned Stark at this stage feels increasingly like a man fighting a losing battle on several fronts, as the traditional pillars of power begin to show moments of weakness; take Cersei's verbal rebuke of Robert, challenging his authority as Ned—still acting like the lawman—seeks leave to bring in Jaime, the 'outlaw', after events at the climax of 'The Wolf and the Lion'. Robert may strike Cersei for her impudence but she knows Robert's power is on a knife edge, and is growing more confident and bold to challenge him. "I can't rule the kingdoms if the Starks and Lannister's are at each other's throats" he quite rightly rejoins, admitting how much in debt he is to the still-unseen Tywin. This will prove to be yet another acute observation from the doomed King.
The Starks are being challenged in their own way in numerous ways. Bran may have his saddle that allows him to ride, but the visions of the Three-Eyed Crow continue pointing him toward lineage and destiny, guiding him in dreams toward the Winterfell crypt; it's remarkable in many ways how important the dead are to Game of Thrones, figures such as Rhaegar or Lyanna Stark, whose shadows cast a long way over the events of family members still living. Bran's visions provide heavy foreshadowing for revelations and realisations to come. Moreover, his attack by the Wildling troupe—which is where we meet grubby and here venal Osha—hints at how Bran would later come to rely on a Wildling in his voyages beyond the Wall as he begins to embrace his destiny.
It's interesting how Game of Thrones introduces the Wildlings through these characters fleeing the dangers that lie in their part of the world. "There ain't no White Walkers down in Dorne" one admits, proving they're betraying the strict principles of their kind—and ancient laws—to stray beyond the Wall and seek solace in civilisation. They may be crude savages, with Osha ultimately finding a level of redemption in how she helps Bran, but they in their own way prefigure the darker threats and plot developments to come, which we would see primarily through Jon's interactions in the Night's Watch. These Wildlings are unkempt and feral, and nothing more than sport for the increasingly wild himself Theon; he tries to pass off reckless murder in saving Bran's life as a lesson in masculinity for the boy, but Robb can see otherwise.
Though Robb hasn't truly been characterised yet within the Game of Thrones tapestry—and there's an argument indeed what characterisation he *does* get doesn't exactly set the world alight—he works almost in the same fashion as Viserys to Dany in how he further illuminates the more interesting character of Theon. We've seen thus far his growing frustration and disillusionment in his status, and how he feels as though his Ironborn steel has been tempered too heavily by Stark honour. He encourages Robb here, in the wake of the attack on Ned to raise banners against the Lannisters, only to be sharply reminded it's "not your house". Robb isn't doing the Starks collectively any favours by reminding Theon he's an outsider with little say, as it just serves to fuel the misplaced ego and entitlement he feels. In many ways, Theon and Viserys have plenty in common.
The other Stark negatively affected by events that are starting to weigh down their family is Arya, upset by the death of Ned's loyal vassal Jory at Jaime's hand, but it takes her sword master teacher Syrio to break her out of that spell. At this point, with the benefit of hindsight, one has to ask the question about who Syrio really is. We know he's from Braavos, but he seems acutely interested in Arya beyond normality. "How can you be quick as a snake or quiet as a shadow when you are someone else?" he asks her, massively foreshadowing Arya's later training with the Faceless Men to become an assassin capable of becoming 'anyone' by ending up as 'no one'. Many have speculated that Syrio could be a Faceless Man himself, but isn't it more likely he is Jaqen H'ghar? We will explore him more once Arya encounters him in the second season but Jaqen guiding Arya toward a sense of destiny in the guise of Syrio feels apt and logical at this point.
It's fitting that the other major Stark player, Sansa, is oblivious to these significant political events and direct threats to her family at this stage. Sansa remains encased in her romantic fantasy bubble, to the point when her Septa tries to remind her of her roots, and how much she is blending in with southern ways, Sansa cruelly puts her down. Joffrey reinforces her fantasy, presenting himself as the gallant Prince Charming who will sweep her off her feet and allow her to become his Queen, and interestingly we don't see any flip side to Joffrey here, given he is almost certainly speaking complete falsehoods implanted in him by Cersei in order to keep Sansa in the Lannister wheelhouse. Therein lies the irony of how Sansa directly cues up Ned's crucial realisation toward the end of the episode, going back to the central concern of birthright.
Ned remains trying to do the work of the Hand of the King while Robert continues indulging in his own romantic, heraldic fantasies. "You weren't a man until you'd fucked a girl from each of the Seven Kingdoms" boasts Robert on what will turn out to be a quite fatal hunt, telling Renly about the tradition of 'Making the Eight'. Renly's unimpressed rejoinder about how Robert's halcyon memory of war and rebellion ignores the thousands who died in order to take down the Targaryen's is undoubtedly fuelled a little by his closeted homosexuality, and Baratheon-frustration he couldn't be openly sexually 'free' like his brother was, but his point is utterly valid. Robert's swagger is crude and ignorant, and romanticises a devastating political and sociological point in Westerosi history – a truth the man just cannot face, because too many walls may metaphorically come crumbling down if he did.
While Robert is out boasting, Ned is attempting to hold everything together given reports that the Mountain is now rampaging across the Riverlands acting as, essentially, a lawless terrorist against the state. Littlefinger hints that he may be equivalent to Jaime, another outlaw operating under Lannister orders, but Ned right now isn't entrenched enough in the game to see Littlefinger's manipulation to further his bigger agenda – creating war between Stark and Lannister, instigating the War of Five Kings to create a chaotic political destabilisation of the Seven Kingdoms. It's Littlefinger's whisperings which leads Ned to cast Tywin as the man to answer for the Mountain's pretty horrific crimes, though he cautions against such a rich man being held to account: "Gold wins wars, not soldiers" to which Ned replies "Then how come Robert is King, and not Tywin Lannister?"
If Ned knows the answer to this, he is being intentionally droll, though one wonders if he is politically savvy enough to understand the power and control of Tywin's capitalist grasp on the Seven Kingdoms. Robert may be King by name and actions, but in the feudal economy of Westeros, men like Tywin and behind him the Iron Bank of Braavos, those who control the flow of gold, control the political spectrum. The game, in many respects, is a falsehood, and certain characters will voice this openly and subtly across Game of Thrones, but at this stage the seeds are merely being sown. Tywin remains a shadowy manipulator and the Iron Bank may not even have been mentioned. Benioff & Weiss are starting to layer in these deeper societal themes which will play into the narrative much further down the road.
'A Golden Crown' ultimately, as a title, has a double meaning. On the face of it, the reference is to Viserys' disturbing, deadly fate, but the deeper layer connects to the overarching concepts of birthright which dominate across the episode; Ned comes to understand, in Sansa's determined refusal to leave King's Landing as Ned realises his family are in danger, that the old books denoting the lineages of the families of the Seven Kingdoms contain personal biographical data which proves Robert's heirs are as much Baratheon's by blood as Ned is – the blonde hair of Joffrey, Tommen & Myrcella stands out a mile against the generations of black-haired Baratheon's. The golden crown isn't just Viserys' poetic justice, but the blonde cuts of Cersei and Jaime's incestous Lannister children.
This realisation underscores what 'A Golden Crown' is all about. The importance of lineage, of privilege, and how in the world of Game of Thrones who you are, where you were born, and who your family is, does not always mean you are destined for power. Viserys, in his final words, calmly says "That was all I wanted… what was promised". Poetic justice indeed.

round-up post
television review
ROUND-UP September 2021
Hello faithful readers! It's sure been a while! I am now working as the Exhibit & Program Coordinator at the Museum of Work & Culture in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. I still plan to keep this blog updated with reviews of the shows I see in New England and elsewhere, along with albums and movies and other forms of art as I have time (and the inclination) to write about them.
"Netflix series 'This is a Robbery' about Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum art heist is sluggish, overlong, and fails to deliver a great story." Artblog, September 10, 2021
"Directed and produced by filmmaker Colin Barnicle, This is a Robbery aims to infect its audiences with "Gardner Fever." On its face, it seems like Netflix has scored an easy hit in bringing a scintillating unsolved crime to a subscriber base hooked on true crime like Making a Murderer, Tiger King, and The Staircase, to name but a few offerings. Was the heist an inside job? Was it a mafia hit? Were the paintings used as collateral in lurid drug transactions? How did the thieves spend 81 minutes in the museum and not get caught? And why did the thieves take such a random scattering of works? Rembrandt's only seascape ("The Storm on the Sea of Galilee") and an automatically-rare Vermeer make sense for either a collector wanting something no one else has, or someone looking to fetch a high price based on name recognition. But to ignore the Titian? Take a metal finial in the shape of an eagle? Less logical. Netflix true crime fans, are you ready to crack the case?
"Halsey Gets Vulnerable, Explores Motherhood And Childbirth On Provocative 4th Album, If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power: BUST Review." Bust Magazine, September 16, 2021.
"With very few exceptions, the songs on If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power reflect and project Halsey's sheer terror at giving up fundamental control, largely through heavily distorted, eerie instrumentations and often frantic, shrieking vocal delivery. This album is best consumed in small bites, and definitely not all at once.
"It's not just the terror of giving over one's body to pregnancy. Lyrically, Halsey connects this unique and brutal experience with existing anxieties over giving up other forms of control in their life, a theme that has lingered throughout their discography. Other specific issues that seem at play are, giving up privacy to chase dreams of musical fame, or dealing with the emotional vulnerability of falling in love. Celebrity, lover, and now parent: are these categories forms of love, or forms of power? And are they ultimately worth it, in the end? If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power asks, but for the most part can only reply with ambivalence. And it's perhaps that ambivalence--rather than any specific details of blood and pain--that give its most terrifying aspect."

Puerto Rico Relief Effort
We are sharing the following message about a relief effort spearheaded in Chicago for Puerto Rico that was written by Epsteins Ryan Lezcano, a project engineer in our structural engineering department. Ryan is a native of Puerto Rico and still has numerous family members and friends living on the Island. As you can imagine Ryan is deeply concerned about the devastation that has beset his homeland and hes struggling with how best to help his fellow Puerto Ricans who are trying to recover with limited resources and access to food and clean water. As you will read and see, Ryan is making a significant impact on the Puerto Rican relief efforts, and if you are so inclined, he offers ways in which you can help as well.
As most of you know, Puerto Rico was just hit by one of the worst hurricanes in the history of the Caribbean. Our island, the place I still consider home, is currently facing a humanitarian crisis that is difficult to put into words. The impact caused by Hurricanes Irma and María have dramatically changed the lives of 3.5 million American citizens. Our families, friends, and other Puerto Rican residents are currently struggling to find the most basic essentials. One hundred percent of the island has now been without power for one week, there is scarce water to shower or even drink, and communication is incredibly limited.
My wife and I have been trying to figure out the best way to help our precious island during this difficult time. Over the past years, Ive been involved as the vice president of the board for one of the longest standing Puerto Rican organizations in the city of Chicago, Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center.
The cultural center successfully raised $67,000 through a partnership with The Puerto Rican Agenda, an unincorporated organization of local Puerto Rican leaders that seeks to influence policy for the advancement of the Puerto Rican community in Chicago.
Together with Chicagos Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Congressman Luis Gutierrez and United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz, we have secured transportation for collected donations and supplies. A cargo plane from United, ground transportation by Custom Trucking Inc., and logistical support were arranged to distribute resources throughout the island with the direct help from Mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulín Cruz. We received confirmation that the shipment arrived in San Juan International Airport in the early afternoon of 9/25/17 and left the airport for distribution around 8:00 pm Chicago time on the same day. The same cargo plane came back to Chicago that night with 300 evacuees from the island.
The Puerto Rican community of Chicago is doing its part to secure another plane to leave Chicago in the coming days. I ask my fellow Epsteiners to please join this effort to buy new and professionally packaged goods for this humanitarian mission. Please help our fellow American citizens in these desperate times while facing one of the biggest natural disasters.
Please help Puerto Rico with a donation of any amount today.
Any support means the world to me and our families!

Young girls now have a new way to connect with science onboard the International Space Station (ISS). A new video series called SciGirls® in Space, part of the popular Twin City PBS SciGirls® program, highlights four girls who have conducted science experiments onboard the ISS National Lab.
The videos provide an opportunity for young girls to see other real-life girls pursuing their passion for science and doing real research on the ISS National Lab. Relatable role models such as these could help inspire young girls to get more involved in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) activities.
In the SciGirls in Space videos, the four girls share what sparked their interest in science and talk about their experiences designing experiments for the ISS National Lab, highlighting both the exciting aspects as well as the challenges of doing space science. One of the girls, Abby, and her teammates from a school near Denver, Colorado, designed an experiment looking at how microgravity affects bacteria. The remaining three girls—Abby Sophía, Julia, and Sarah—from a school in Houston, Texas, designed an experiment evaluating how different ratios of blue and red light affect plant growth in a microgravity environment.
Although the girls' experiments were initially lost in the two commercial resupply services launch anomalies (Orbital Sciences CRS-3 and SpaceX CRS-7), the projects did successfully launch to the ISS National Lab on later missions. Such anomalies are rare, and no other U.S. cargo vehicles have been lost since these two. In 2018, around 100 student projects were successfully launched to the ISS National Lab, engaging students in valuable STEM education involving authentic science and project-based learning.
The SciGirls television show, website, and educational outreach program is the most widely accessed girls' STEM program in the U.S., reaching more than 14 million girls, educators, and families. The SciGirls in Space videos, which are accompanied by standards-based science activities, will be available on multiple PBS online platforms, including PBS Kids, SciGirls CONNECT educator's website, and PBS Learning Media.
Twin City PBS is also implementing related educational outreach at five community learning centers across the U.S.: The McAuliffe Center for Integrated Science Learning in Massachusetts; The Challenger Center of Ramapo in New York; The Challenger Center in Heartland Community College in Illinois; the North Dakota Space Grant Consortium in North Dakota, and Girls Inc. of San Antonio in Texas.
SciGirls in Space is a Space Station Explorers partner program supported by the ISS National Lab. Visit www.spacestationexplorers.org to learn more about the Space Station Explorers consortium, a growing community of ISS National Lab partner organizations working to leverage the unique platform of the ISS to provide valuable educational experiences.

In this post I want to highlight some of the materials on the PeacePsychology.org that I believe might be useful for creating lectures and class activities about peace and conflict for a wide variety of courses. There are a number of slide presentations in the section Presentations that could be used as lecture material. Conflict and Violence - 2009 – APA Division 48 is a presentation that describes the goals of APA Division 48 and basic concepts of peace psychology. The presentation includes topics such as the causes and levels of conflict, responses to conflict, conflict resolution methods, direct and structural violence, moral exclusion, and social justice. The slide presentation Groupthink Prevention describes the symptoms of groupthink, how it has affected decision making in various international conflicts, and how it can be prevented. There are two slide presentations in this section on conflict and conflict resolution: Conflict – Dan Christie and Understanding and Managing Conflict – 2005 – Burn. While these overlap to some extent, each covers some concepts that are not mentioned by the other.
I also want to call your attention to some of the resources in the section Resources For University Teaching. There are two lecture outlines on the social psychology of war and peace which I developed for an introductory psychology course, but they could also serve as examples of a lecture for a social psychology course. The first, Lecture Outline - 2008 - Nelson is a rather generic example of how some basic social psychology concepts can be applied to war and peace issues. The second, Lecture Presentation - Nelson is offered as an example of how teachers might apply certain general principles for lecturing to large classes (see also, Lecture Suggestions for Large Student Audiences - 2011); it applies psychological principles to terrorism and to the threat of nuclear war. There are short outlines for 17 possible peace psychology lecture topics in Part II of Teaching Peace Psychology Courses: Rationale & Suggestions - 2012 - Marsella.
The section Resources For University Teaching also offers some resources for class activities and assignments. For a list of films, videos, and video games with links for finding them, see Media Resources for Teaching Peace Psychology Courses – 2014 – Hansvick. An activity I developed for illustrating how competitive thinking can interfere with cooperative problem solving Cooperation Exercise – Nelson is the most successful class activity I have ever used, and I have used it with over 100 classes. Another activity Empathy Exercise – Nelson provides a structure for each student to practice perspective taking and to understand why another student disagrees with them on a controversial issue.
An article in this section Self-assessment Tools for Teaching – 2007 suggests that assessment instruments can be used in class to make conflict resolution principles more personal and to help students understand their own peacemaking tendencies and examples of relevant instruments are either provided in the article or citations are given for finding them. A list of possible assignments for peace psychology courses is available in Part IV of Teaching Peace Psychology Courses: Rationale & Suggestions - 2012 - Marsella and many other examples of course assignments and lecture/activity schedules can be found in the syllabi that are in the Peace Courses section of the website.
If you are a teacher, I hope that you will find some of these resources useful and that you will experience satisfaction and success in teaching peace. Please share with us additional resources that you have found useful.


These salt and pepper shakers are unique and one of a kind. A great gift for anyone who likes to have functional fine art among their daily wares. This pair features a solid white base with cobalt blue glass floral details. There are tiny dimensional glass "dots" on the top of these shakers.


Can we add luxury to the five senses?
From the delicious softness of silk grazing the skin to the crisp feeling of pure cotton on a sunny day and the warmth of wool in Autumn. Natural fibers feel better against the skin and react more easily to the earth's elements.
At Primrose & Wilde we design with natural fabrics. Our first inclination to work with natural fabrics is quality – but the very veins of "quality" run deep and, like you, we share a commitment to quality of life, our planet and sustainability.
It's no small feat to consider your choices, to see the lasting impact of your decisions but it's a matter of integrity.
What do we know about the life of fabric? Natural fibers grow – either animal or plant – and require less energy and chemicals to turn them into fabric. At the end of the day natural fibers will also decompose faster.
Technological advances in fabric development have changed the way we dress and how we care for our clothes. But are we thinking carefully about these choices?
We know that 60% of the body lotions and chemical products that we put on our skin is absorbed into the bloodstream, which leads us to ponder...if it requires numerous chemicals and solvents to create any type of synthetic fabric, (synthetic fabrics are created by a process called polymerization, where chemically-derived fibers are joined together to create fabric) if clothes are created by chemical processes and then we get dressed and ... what percentage of these chemical will our skin absorb?
Polyester is made from synthetic polymers that are produced from esters of dihydric alcohol and terpthalic acid.
Acrylic fabrics are polycrylonitriles. The EPA suggest that these may cause cancer.
Rayon is recycled wood pulp. It is treated with chemicals such as caustic soda, ammonia, acetone and sulphuric acid to survive regular washing and wearing.
Nylon is made from petroleum and is often given a permanent chemical finish that can be harmful.
We believe it is the responsibility of the producers to provide fashion that is healthy, responsible and sustainable. Join us on the path to a better world.

Reacting to September 11th
By The New Yorker
"A four-year-old girl and her babysitter called from the library, and pointed out through the window the smoking top of the north tower, not a mile away." That's how John Updike found out about 9/11, according to the Talk of the Town story he wrote for the September 24, 2001, issue of this magazine. In that issue—the first published after 9/11—Updike and eight writers grappled with the September 11th attacks: Updike, Jonathan Franzen, Denis Johnson, Roger Angell, Aharon Appelfeld, Rebecca Mead, Susan Sontag, Amitav Ghosh, and Donald Antrim. That special Talk section is now available online in its entirety; you can read it here.

Fenton Walkabout 2013
From Wikipedia...
'Fenton is one of the six towns of the Stoke-on-Trent conurbation which were federated in 1910. It is situated in the south-east of the city. Arnold Bennett called his fictionalised version of Stoke-on-Trent the "Five Towns", and Fenton has been dubbed the town Arnold Bennett forgot.
The name means 'Fen Farm'.
By the 1850s, the area around Duke Street and China Street had become populated during the rapid development of the Potteries. The two principal districts, Fenton Vivian and Fenton Culvert – each with their scattered communities, were brought together to make an urban district with its own board of guardians in 1894. On 1 April 1910, the town was federated into the county borough of Stoke-on-Trent. By 1925 the area was granted city status.
During the First World War Fenton was bombed by Zeppelin 'L 21'.
Fenton is still considered a sprawl of villages by many, and it includes Heron Cross, Mount Pleasant, Saxonfields and Pool Dole. Residential hot spots like Fenpark and Saxonfields have served to enhance the traditional properties expected in a town like Fenton.
Fenton Park is also popular with families, and has football pitches, pavilions and playground. The town's library lies on Baker Street, and is based within the Carnegie library, the only such building in Stoke-on-Trent. It is now closed. Fenton also had a magistrates court, which served the city from within Fenton's old town hall. It closed in 2013.'
If you have a spare £250K
So, you are wondering, what all the fuss is with Fenton Town Hall. Why should YOU give a rat's ass about some poxy old building in the armpit of somewhere in northern England you probably couldn't pinpoint on a map of Fenton?!
Well, for a start, it is up for sale. Thing is, if it is sold it will, probably be knocked down and turned into a Tesco Extra (other crappy supermarkets are available). It doesn't have listed building status and can, therefore, be razed to the ground with no more than a cursory glance at the local planning regulations, providing appropriate palms are greased.
Impressive facade, huh?
Now, we come to the part about why you should care.
1) It is a beautiful building.
2) Inside is a unique War Memorial made of Minton Tiles.
3) Fenton (and the rest of the region, country, world) needs to retain these fantastic old buildings for future generations.
4) The present is transient. What we think today may be right, it may be wrong but, really, is anyone going to be fighting in 200 years to keep the Tesco Express that would fill the space cleared by knocking this majestic structure down? Think about that.
5) You buy the Town Hall, you get your very own Police Station thrown in!
What are good reasons for knocking it down? It's an old building that needs working on, and a little TLC? The same arguments apply as with the Wedgewood Institute, in Burslem. Why don't we use all our technology and modern genius to restore this building. Time to preserve the past, not pull the damn thing down! It is time to stop greed and stupidity from being the motivating factor that drives the human race. The argument that we are following the modern, American way, because it is efficient and universal, is crap. Consider the one thing about the UK that Americans (with all their modern shopping malls, franchise chain eateries, and alleged love of progress) prize above all else; yep, all our old shit. So, if we continue to knock all the old shit down, where are all your yanqui tourist $$$ going to come from? They sure as hell ain't coming over here for the burgers.

This is the problem with The Potteries, right in this screenshot.
I'm from here. I can make these observations. If you aren't from around here, don't make me slap you around with a week old oatcake...
You see, I clicked on the link from Wikipedia and even the local newspaper, The Sentinel, disavows all knowledge of one of the six towns it is supposed to inform, educate, and entertain. When the local newspaper doesn't give a crap, well, you join the dots.

From Bonnie & Clyde to Hell's Angels: The Origin of Ride or Die
by Max D. September 7, 2020
written by Max D. September 7, 2020
The Bullet-Riddled Origins of Ride or Die's and It's Various Meanings
On May 23, 1934, in the backwoods of Northern Louisiana, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow's string of robberies and murders came to an ¬explosive end. Six police officers ambushed them, shooting over 110 bullets into their stolen 1934 Ford Deluxe. When the dust had settled, Bonnie and Clyde had more holes in them than a couple blocks of swiss cheese. And the seed was planted for a phrase that wouldn't fully blossom for over eighty years.
Bonnie and Clyde were ride or die.
The Legend of Bonnie & Clyde's Ride or Die Philosophy
Neither Bonnie nor Clyde ever used the phrase 'ride or die' as far as we know, they definitely embodied by the philosophy.
Shortly before the shootout that would end their crime spree (and their lives), Bonnie wrote a poem called 'The End of the Line.' In it, she foretold what lay ahead…
"Some day they'll go down together;
And they'll bury them side by side,
To a few it'll be grief –
To the law a relief –
But it's death for Bonnie and Clyde."
Bonnie was committed to Clyde's criminal way of life, and she knew that commitment meant that her fate was sealed: She had but one option "ride or die". In the end, she and Clyde would ultimately do both.
From Bonnie & Clyde to Jay-Z: How Ride or Die's Meaning Evolved
Over the seventy years following Bonnie and Clyde's deaths, their legend grew… with a film starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway… and a country music song by Merle Haggard… and an early 90s made-for-TV movie… and a 1993 rap song by Yo Yo and Ice Cube.
By the turn of the millennium, Bonnie and Clyde's story had seeped into every cultural crevice imaginable. But Hip-Hop went a step further and made this doomed American love story its own.
In 1997, Baby Gangsta released a single called 'Ride or Die' that would introduce the now-famous phrase into the cultural lexicon. A year later, Jay-Z would amplify the phrase by covering 'Ride or Die' himself. And two years after that, The LOX would put out a duet with Eve called 'Ryde or Die, B*itch.'
The seed that Bonnie and Clyde had planted with their ill-fated drive across Bienville Parish, Louisiana was beginning to sprout. What had started as one couple's commitment to one another no matter the cost had become a cultural phenomenon.
As it did, people began to use the phrase 'ride or die' to refer to anyone they were utterly committed to. It was used to describe men and women who were faithful even when their faithfulness put them in danger – or worse.
Ride or Die's and The Relationship with Bike Culture
Although the true origin of ride or die is steeped in folklore and mystery somewhere along the way, the phrase entered bike culture. Not because bikers have an affinity for Jay-Z or UGG boots but because the phrase 'ride or die' correctly expresses the affinity most motorcyclist have towards riding.
As ride or die burrowed its way into biker culture, it did so with a slightly different connotation than it had in its Hip-Hop origins. It no longer referred to a woman who was committed to standing by her man no matter what insane thing he did.
In bike circles, ride or die largely referred to a motorcyclist commitment to the love of riding. It was a statement declaring he had only two options in life: he could ride… or he could die, because giving up his bike would be like tearing out his heart. This phrase can be seen strewn across bikes, t-shirts and belt buckles. It has equally permeated through all facets of bike culture, no matter what you ride from crotch rockets to HOGs it has meant the same thing.
Among certain groups of bikers, the meaning of the phrase was slightly more focused. Ride or die didn't just refer to a commitment to riding. It was about his dedication to the club of bikers he rode with. And in some of those clubs, quitting meant you were signing your death warrant (see 1%'ers to learn more).
So where does ride or die sits today?
Within Hip-Hop culture, it still refers to a woman that won't leave her man no matter what. Among basic white girls, it's a true-blue BFF always down for latte and nails. Motorcyclist still use it to talk about their devotion for the love of riding (or the club you ride with).
Like all language, ride or die will likely continue to evolve and take on different meanings into the future.
Who knows what it may eventually mean among conservative evangelicals… or flamboyant drag-queens… or any of the dozens of other subcultures in modern American society?
Only time will tell. In the meantime, this phrase will always mean something special to those of us that have fallen in love with everything BRAAAP.

Justice Ginsburg
On the Death of Justice Antonin Scalia
by Kelcey Patrick-Ferree
Justice Antonin Scalia, perhaps the most controversial figure of the modern Supreme Court, has unexpectedly passed away at age 79. Unfortunately, the political posturing over when and how to replace him began almost immediately following the public announcement of his death. For a lovely tribute to a man whose intellect, influence, and personal relationships deserved a great deal more time and attention than they received, check out what Ruth Bader Ginsburg had to say about her good friend Justice Scalia.
But, inevitably, on to the politics. One major point of contention has been whether there is historical precedent for either nominating and confirming a new justice in an election year (which the Republicans do not wish to do), or delaying a new appointment for nearly a year (which the Democrats do not wish to do). For those who are interested, my husband, Shannon Patrick, who is a data geek and an Excel whiz, has put together a spreadsheet showing relevant dates and gaps over the history of the Supreme Court. If you would like a copy of the Excel document so you can also manipulate the data, please email me.
The facts are these: There are 341 days between Justice Scalia's death and the day the next president will be sworn in. She or he will not be able to appoint a new justice immediately, so there would be at least a few more days or weeks before a new justice could take office. According to Shannon's data, there has been only one vacancy of that length in the last 150 years, when Justice Harry Blackmun was appointed following a 391-day vacancy. Before that, there was the 1862, mid-Civil War appointment of Justice David Davis, which filled a seat following a vacancy of 589 days (this happened to be the third-longest Supreme Court vacancy ever). The trend (PDF) since transportation has evolved beyond horse, buggy, and dirt roads, has been for appointments to take a shorter and shorter period of time. If you omit the outliers, the trend (PDF) becomes even more clear. The longest vacancies in the modern era have come about as a result of failed nominations (Robert Bork prior to Justice Kennedy, with a 237-day vacancy, and both G. Harrold Carswell and Clement Haynsworth prior to Justice Blackmun, with the 391-day vacancy).
We all know that there are some fairly major political elements at play here. Justice Scalia considered himself an originalist: that is, he believed that the Constitution should be interpreted the way it was meant by the men who wrote it, at the time that they wrote it. He usually, but not always, agreed with his fellow Republican-appointed justices, particularly in the politically controversial cases that garner the most attention in the news: political money, same-sex rights, abortion, presidential elections.
But there are purely non-political considerations: the fact that a seat is left open by his death, no matter how long it remains open, has the potential to result in some (possibly many) decisions that have no majority opinion. When there is a 4-4 decision by the Supreme Court, the result is that the lower court's ruling stands but has no precedential value. These 50-50 splits at the Supreme Court level are a problem for our judicial system as a whole. Cases generally reach the Supreme Court only when there is disagreement among the circuit courts of appeals regarding how a particular law or part of the Constitution ought to be interpreted. Even then, the Supreme Court generally has to wait until a case comes up that gives it an opportunity to resolve the question. There is no guarantee that the opportunity to resolve the questions posed by some of the cases from this session will be repeated in the near, or even far, future. Circuit splits (where the law is interpreted differently in different jurisdictions) can be dangerous. They cause forum shopping, meaning that attorneys maneuver to ensure that litigation will take place in a forum that has advantageous law for their clients. While forum shopping may be good legal representation (a lawyer should always be a zealous advocate and endeavor to get the best possible result for her client), it is bad when forum shopping is possible because our nation's top court is unable to tell us how to correctly interpret the law. I would not want to see that sort of chaos for the next year.
I am not going to try to claim that the Supreme Court is an apolitical institution. That would be disingenuous at best, for reasons that others have articulated better than I can here. (Disclaimer: The two linked books were written by one of my law professors and law school classmates, respectively.) But businesses thrive in a stable climate. It is not possible to figure out how to comply with the law, get your compliance regime set, and get down to business, when you do not even know for certain what the law says—or worse, when you do know that it is not possible to follow the same law in two different jurisdictions at the same time. We need a full complement of justices handing down decisions that let the American people, and our businesses, know what our laws say.
I am not given to urging politlcal action on this blog, but this is one time I would urge you to contact your Senators and let them know that leaving an open Court seat for nearly a year, as is nigh-unprecedented in modern times, would be bad for business and bad for our country.

Q: laurent series of $\frac{z^2-2z+2}{(z-1)(z^2-2z-3)}$ around $z-1$ for $0<|z-1|<2$ I want to find the Laurent series of $L=\frac{z^2-2z+2}{(z-1)(z^2-2z+3}$ around $(z-1)$
Here, I used the fact that
$L=\frac{5}{8(z-3)}+\frac{5}{8(z+1)}-\frac{1}{4(z-1)}$
When $|z-1|<2$, we have
$L=\frac{-1}{4(z-1)}+\frac{5}{8} \frac{1}{(z-1)-2} +\frac{5}{8( (z-1)+2)}$
$=\frac{-1}{4(z-1)} +\frac{5}{-16}\frac{1}{1- \frac{(z-1)}{2}} + \frac{5}{16} \frac{1}{1+ \frac{(z-1)}{2}} =-\frac{1}{4(z-1)}+ \frac{5}{16} \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{(z-1)^k}{2^k}(-1+(-1)^k)=-\frac{1}{4(z-1)}+\frac{5}{16} \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(z-1)^{2n+1}}{2^{2n+1}} (-2)$
However,in my book, Elements d'analyse complexe by Real Gelinas,
the answer for 0<|z-1|<2 is
$\frac{-1}{4} (z-1 + \frac{1}{z-1} )\sum_{n=0}^\infty (\frac{z-1}{2n})^{2n}.$
Hence, I am missing a term.
Where is my mistake?

A: Note : Since you've made a mistake in your expressions while solving (the one mentioned in the comments) I'll go over a more straight-forward and common approach, by demonstrating its all steps.
The trick is to form the expression that is asked to form the Laurent series around, which in that specific case is : $z-1$. This is what I'm going to demonstrate down below :
$$L(z) = \frac{z^2-2z+2}{(z-1)(z^2-2z-3)}= \frac{(z-1)^2+1}{(z-1)(z+1)(z-3)}$$
$$=$$
$$\frac{(z-1)^2+1}{(z-1)(z-1+2)(z-1-2)} = \frac{(z-1)^2+2}{(z-1)(z-1)(z-1)(1+\frac{2}{z-1})(1-\frac{2}{z-1})}$$
$$=$$
$$\frac{(z-1)^2+1}{(z-1)^3(1+\frac{2}{z-1})(1-\frac{2}{z-1})}$$
Now, we know the following simple geometric series :
$$\frac{1}{1-w}\sum_{n=0}^\infty w^n \quad |w|<1$$
$$\frac{1}{1+w} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^nw^n \quad |w|<1$$
Applying these for $\frac{2}{z-1} = w$ :
$$[(z-1)^2+1] \frac{1}{(z-1)^3}\sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^n2^n(z-1)^{-n}\sum_{n=0}^\infty 2^n(z-1)^{-n} $$
$$=$$
$$\bigg[\frac{1}{z-1}+\frac{1}{(z-1)^3}\bigg]\sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^n2^n(z-1)^{-n}\sum_{n=0}^\infty 2^n(z-1)^{-n} $$
Can you now combine all of these into one expression and yield your results ? For the relation of $|z-1|$ given, it's easy to spot since you'd want $|\frac{2}{z-1}| < 1$ and on the same time $z-1\neq 0$ which means given your first condition that $|z-1| > 0$. Combining these you get : $0<|z-1|<2$.

Q: Invisible DataGridView rows are visible in several TabPages of TabControl I have TabControl with several TabPage-s.
Each TabPage keeps corresponding DataGridView object
that, in turn, binded with corresponding DataTable.
Each DataTable object is 3 columns' string table (Names, Values, Comments).
So each TabPage looks as good grid table. It is OK.
During this binding, I want to hide several rows in each tab.
DataFridView LoadDataToTab(ref DataTable dt, TabPage tab)
{
    DataGridView grid   = new DataGridView();
    BindingSource source = new BindingSource();
    source.DataSource = dt;
    grid.DataSource = source;

    tab.Control.Add(grid);
    // Now all binding is done;

    // Now I need to hide some rows in TabPage-s:
    HideSomeRows(ref grid);

    return grid;
}

void HideSomeRows(ref DataGridView grid)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < grid.Rows.Count; i++)
    {
        string val = grid.Rows[i].Cells[0].Value.ToString();
        // SomeString is some "xyz" stirng
        if( val == SomeString    ||
            val == SomeOtherString)
        {
            grid.Rows[i].Visible = false;
        }
    }
}

Problem: only "first" TabPage in this TabControl hides specified rows.

*

*All other TabPages show all rows (don't hide any row). The "first" means,
the first that used HideSomeRows() and then it is first added to
the TabControl. I did several experiments, to bypass the first
TabPage. Second TabPage that has become first hides rows, but
others not.

*I checked also, using breakpoints, that all "not first" TabPages have
Visible  false rows property, but the rows are visible!

A: After several experiments together with my colleague, we found solution:
 to select current TabPage in TabControl before hiding rows of DataGridView:
    ...
    Tab.SelectedIndex = tabIndex;
    ...
    HideSomeRows(ref grid);

Please see the same program that changed to work correctly with addition, signed by
      /*!*/

.
DataFridView LoadDataToTab(ref DataTable dt, TabPage tab, TabControl Tab/*!*/, int tabIndex/*!*/)
{
    DataGridView grid   = new DataGridView();
    BindingSource source = new BindingSource();
    source.DataSource = dt;
    grid.DataSource = source;

    tab.Control.Add(grid);
    // Now all binding is done;

    // This TabControl Tab has inside TabPage tab
    Tab.SelectedIndex = tabIndex; /*!*/

    // Now I need to hide some rows in TabPage-s:
    HideSomeRows(ref grid);

    return grid;
}

void HideSomeRows(ref DataGridView grid)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < grid.Rows.Count; i++)
    {
        string val = grid.Rows[i].Cells[0].Value.ToString();
        // SomeString is some "xyz" stirng
        if( val == SomeString    ||
            val == SomeOtherString)
        {
            grid.Rows[i].Visible = false;
        }
    }
}

"Knockout" rose shrubs are available in several colors.
3 How Far Apart Do You Plant Double Knockout Roses?
4 What Should Be Planted With Knock Out Roses?
Prized for their resistance to diseases and compact growing habit, "Knockout" shrub rose varieties can also survive temperatures that other rosebushes cannot. These flowers come in several horticultural variants, blooming in different configurations and sizes as well as several different colors. In fact, several "Knockout" roses may produce different colored blooms within the same variety.
Although red is the traditional color of the romantic long stem bouquet given on Valentine's Day, this color is also used in the smaller, sturdier "Knockout" roses used in landscaping and gardening. This color attracts both butterflies and hummingbirds, adding even more color to the garden. The "Knockout" rose (Rosa x "radrazz"), which lives in U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 5 through 10, blooms in red and features an open, flat, cup-shaped flower. The "Double Knockout" rose (Rosa x "Radtko"), which also thrives in USDA zones 5 through 10, produces a similar flower shape with twice as many petals.
"Knockout" roses also come in yellow, and this color is often used to contrast with red and pink roses. The vibrant yellow is also attractive to butterflies and birds and is particularly attractive to bees. Additionally, the bright yellow coloring may attract moths and other night pollinators, since they are attracted to flowers that stand out from surrounding leaves in moonlight. Yellow "Knockout" varieties include the "Sunny Knockout" rose (Rosa x "Radsunny"), which grows in USDA zones 5 through 10 and produces profuse explosions of bright yellow flowers that emit a strong fragrance.
Some "Knockout" roses feature blooms that are hot pink (almost red), while others are a true pink. The "Blushing Knockout" rose (Rosa x "Radyod"), which grows in USDA zones 5 through 9, features a teacup-shaped bloom that is bright pink set against dark green leaves. The "Pink Knockout" rose (Rosa x "Radcon"), which thrives in USDA zones 4 through 9, is a deeper-colored pink and features upturned pink petals that create a prominent teacup shape.
The "Rainbow Knockout" rose (Rosa x "Radcor") grows in USDA zones 5 through 10 and features two colors within the same flower. The outside of the flat-form flower features a bright pink color, but the petals turn bright yellow near the center.

Abstract: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have become the preferred experimental design in exploring the genetic etiology of complex human traits and diseases. Standard SNP-based meta-analytic approaches have been utilized to integrate the results from multiple experiments. This fundamentally assumes that the patterns of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between the underlying causal variants and the directly genotyped SNPs are similar across the populations for the same SNPs to emerge with surrogate evidence of disease association. We introduce a novel strategy for assessing regional evidence of phenotypic association that explicitly incorporates the extent of LD in the region. This provides a natural framework for combining evidence from multi-ethnic studies of both dichotomous and quantitative traits that (i) accommodates different patterns of LD, (ii) integrates different genotyping platforms and (iii) allows for the presence of allelic heterogeneity between the populations. Our method can also be generalized to perform gene-based or pathway-based analyses. Applying this method on real GWAS data in type 2 diabetes (T2D) boosted the association evidence in regions well-established for T2D etiology in three diverse South-East Asian populations, as well as identified two novel gene regions and a biologically convincing pathway that are subsequently validated with data from the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium. © 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved.
