Unbelievable!!!! Cooking is much more easy now!!! Thanks!
That's how i normally peel garlic too. :D Hehe.
ha, what a wonderful idea ! I used to spend minutes peeling one small piece.
I have been reading your blog for over a year now and this is my first comment on your blog. Your blog is fantastic and easy to follow. Keep it up!
Here is my tip for get rid of garlic smell. Rub your fingers on any stainless steel object like bowl even your kitchen sink. That will eliminate the smell like magic. There are so call "stainless steel soap" on the market but why spend money on it.
Thanks for sharing. You're so nice.

Q: What is the moduli of an algebraic torus Given an algebraic torus $(\mathbb{C}^\ast)^n$, what's the moduli space of complex structures? Even for $\mathbb{C}^\ast$, since it's a non-compact Riemann surface with puncture, it doesn't seem trivial for me. Does anyone know some references on this?
Many toric varieties don't have moduli, e.g. $\mathbb{CP}^2$, but in the case of $(\mathbb{C}^\ast)^n$, the complex structure doesn't need to extend to the toric boundaries. This consideration implies that $(\mathbb{C}^\ast)^n$ may have larger moduli than $\mathbb{C}^n$.

A: There is just no definition of the moduli for complex structures on non-compact manifolds, but by any reasonable definition, it would be (generally) very bad space, certainly infinite-dimensional. For example, if you are interested in the bounded Stein subsets of ${\Bbb C}^n$ with smooth boundary, the boundary (more precisely, a codimension 1 subbundle of its tangent bundle) acquires a semi-definite Hermitian form, called the Levi form. This form is an invariant of a complex structure, which can be chosen pretty much in any way. Therefore, the space of such manifolds has more or less the same size as the space of K\"ahler forms (which is more or less same size as the space of smooth functions). The moduli of algebraic structures are probably even worse, because a given complex (even Stein) manifold can support many compatible algebraic structures (probably an infinite-dimensional families of algebraic structures, though I don't have a proof handy).
Most likely this can be applied to $({\Bbb C}^*)^n$: this space is Stein
and it certainly has at least two non-equivalent algebraic structures.

Pneumonia is one of the widespread disorders and in the developed countries it takes fourth /fifth place in mortality rates. Despite wide array of antimicrobial medications lethal causes are still high. According to the published data pneumonias have general mortality rates of 11.8%, but it is highly variable depending on the causative agent. The highest mortality rates have those pneumonias which are caused by blue-green rods (Pseudomonads) 61.11%, Klebsiella (35.7%), Staphilococcus aureus (31.8%), mixed bacterial flora (23.6%). The lower mortality rates have those pneumonias, that are caused by Legionella spp (14.7%), Pneumococci (12.3%), Chlamidiae (9.8%), Hemophilus (7.4%), and Mycoplasma (1.4%). Etiologic classification of pneumonias on which international statistical classification is based is principally most appropriate but it is worth mentioning that in XXI century etiologic identification of pneumonias during the first patient encounter is impossible. That's why highly pragmatic classification of pneumonias as Community-acquired and nosocomial or hospital acquired pneumonias is widely used. Such general classification is acceptable for only one practical use when choosing first-line antibacterial medications according to the causative agent of pneumonia. During history taking this classification aids physician in determining probable cause of pneumonia and contributes to be more selective and specific in choosing right antibacterial medication.
Community-acquired pneumonias are generally caused by: Streptococcus pneumoniae (Pneumococci), other Streptococci and Haemophilus. Pneumonias caused by Mycoplasma, Chlamidiae, Legionella spp. and Pneumocystis have increased during last periods. In youngsters pneumonia usually has single causative agent but in people older than 60 years it is mixed bacterial, from which ¾ is gram positive and gram negative flora. People in geriatric buildings and just discharged outpatients are at increased risk of developing pneumonias caused by Staphilococci and gram negative rods. Klebsiella is common cause of aspiration pneumonia in alcoholics.
In various publications about treatment methods of pneumonia, the most attention is paid at antimicrobial therapy. This is crucial because it is the correct antimicrobial therapy that determines the course and the result of pneumonia. On the other hand the sole target of antimicrobial therapy is inflammation suppression and eradication of the causative agent. Complete treatment of pneumonia should be etiologic and pathogenetic too, because the initial phase of the disease process is accompanied by deranged immune (inflammatory) functions.
1. Pneumonias, that don't require hospitalization.
2. Pneumonias, that require hospitalization.
3. Pneumonias, that require hospitalization and management in intensive care unit (ICU).
Pneumonias not requiring inpatient care are most numerous and comprise 80% of all pneumonias. The patients have mild forms of pneumonia, treatment is outpatient and mortality doesn't exceed 1%.
Pneumonias, requiring inpatient care comprise 20%, such patients often have other chronic co-morbidities and have marked clinical symptoms, mortality rate approximates 10%.
· Presence of various chronic disorders causing disabilities, such as: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart disease, chronic renal and liver insufficiency, diabetes, alcoholism or intravenous drug abuse, immunodeficiency states including AIDS.
· Ineffective 3 days course of antibacterial treatment.
· Acute respiratory insufficiency: Hypoxemia (PaO2/FiO2<250 mmHg or <200 mmHg in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), signs of diaphragmatic fatigue, need for mechanical ventilation.
· Unstable hemodynamic parameters, shock (systolic pressure <90 mmHg or diastolic pressure <60 mmHg); need of vasopressors for more than 4 hours, urine output <20 ml/h (without hypovolemia).
Patients who meet these criteria are considered having severe form of community-acquired pneumonia and are requiring management in intensive care unit.
Severe forms of pneumonias take significant place in overall pneumonias because they require qualitatively different diagnostic and treatment managements. Severe forms are frequently associated with bacteremia, special attention is paied at such agents as are Legionella spp., gram negative organisms including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Mortality rates in such cases can attain 25-50%.
These last years antibacterial resistance of the organisms causing pneumonias has been increasing. Pneumonias caused by penicillin and cephalosporin resistant strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae has markedly increased. Global research about resistant respiratory pathogens (Alexander Project) has revealed penicillin resistant S. pneumoniae in different regions of the world (France, Spain) to be 51.4% of cases, and resistance against macrolides and co-trimoxasole to be 45.9% and 60.6% respectively.
- Oliguria or other manifestations of acute renal failure.
During the course of severe pneumonia toxic shock syndrome (TSS), respiratory distress syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), multi-organ failure and other lethal complications are often encountered.
After the diagnosing severe pneumonia promptly starting intravenous antibiotic therapy is considered to be mandatory. In the initial period of treatment (most challenging period) de-escalation therapy has been widely established, when the patients are treated with the wide spectrum antibiotic combinations to cover all the probable etiologic agents , before concrete diagnosis is being established.
In hospitals there are special regimens that can be used in treatment of community-acquired pneumonias, these regimens can be solely beta-lactam antibiotics (Ampicillin/Sulbactam, Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid, Ceftriaxone) or their combination with Macrolides (Azitromicin , Spiramicin) in the case if suspicion is made about intracellular agents, respiratory flouroquinolones are also used. It is recommended to use β-lactams, and aminoglycosides and/or fluoroquinolones (Levofloxacine) combinations in very severe or abscessing pneumonias. In case of aspiration induced pneumonia suspicion, β -lactam antibiotic effective against gram negative organisms in combination with Amikacin (MERKACIN) and/or fluoroquinolones (Ciprofloxacine, Levofloxacine) and/or Metronidazole is given.
Aminoglycoside medications have been widely used in treatment of various forms of pneumonias, especially of the severe forms, since many years. The third generation aminoglycoside – MERKACIN (WORLD MEDICINE, England) – is well known among physicians and is widely used in treatment of respiratory infections (pneumonia, pleural empyema, the lung abscess). High sensitivity of the causative organisms toward MERKACIN makes it useful in the initial empiric therapy before complete microbial cultivation and sensitivity tests results are ready.
Today treatment of non-hospital acquired pneumonia is still problematic. Roughly gram negative causative agents are blue-green rods (Pseudomonads), E.coli, Klebsiella, Proteus spp., Enterobacter spp. and others against which MERKACIN is effective. It well penetrates and distributes in the tissues and fluids, including in pleural exudates and bronchial secretes, it has marked synergic action with β-lactam antibiotics, which increases its bactericidal action. MERKACIN has marked resistance against bacterial inactivating enzymes (apart from other Aminoglycosides) and is effective against resistant strains. In the zone of infection it maintains therapeutic concentration for 10-12 hours, and has marked post-antibiotic effect. Once a daily dosing increases its effectiveness and lowers risk of the side effects. There are two release forms of MERKACIN (500mg/2ml; 100 mg/2ml), which makes it easy to use in any age-group of the patients.

Emergency closure of Mansfield school after 'major' water leak
Mansfield students get to grips with biology live online
While their home studies have been alive and well, students from West Nottinghamshire College in Mansfield have enhanced their science skills by looking at how death affects the body and its organs.
Wednesday, 22nd July 2020, 11:33 am
Students on applied science, health and social care, and sports science courses tuned in to watch nationally-acclaimed human anatomist Samuel Piri and his clinical team working on a real organ-dissection experience during an actual post-mortem.
Over the period of one week, classes viewed the five-part internet series The Post-Mortem Live, which covered different areas of the body.
A general autopsy first looked at what can be seen from the body on the outside after death.
Tutor Melanie Pykett carried out one lesson online from her kitchen
On day two, students were able to learn more about the brain and how it works, as well as its links to the vascular system and the diseases which can affect brain health.
The complexities of the heart, its blood-flow system and how the vessels and valves work were looked at on day three, using a pig's heart as an example.
The groups looked at the workings of the lungs using a pig carcass to demonstrate where they sit and how the voice box, trachea and bronchioles lead into the lungs.
The anatomists also demonstrated how artificial ventilation would have to occur for Covid-19 patients.
In final session, students learned about the digestive system, including the liver, pancreas, stomach and small and large intestines.
College biology tutor Melanie Pykett also filmed herself performing and discussing the dissection of a cow's heart from her own kitchen as an additional feature for the week.
Melanie said: "This was a really unique opportunity for students across the college to learn using a different approach to being in the classroom.
"They were able to send questions through to the presenters and then took part in group activities.
"All the different methods used by a pathologist were discussed.
Science student Anjeli Amarasinghe Vithanage, 18, said: "I really enjoyed The Post-Mortem Live, which has provided me with an incredible way to learn about the human anatomy, physiology and pathology, especially during this time when students aren't able to come to college."

Story: A roller coaster ride that this movie is, it revolves around six friends—Mihir, Tara, Ayesha, Harry, Maggie and Jaadu, who are brought together by circumstances, after they drift apart post their graduation. It shows the intricacy and bonding amongst these friends. It is a full-on entertainer having the right mix of love, emotions, friendship blended in drama and comedy, which will keep you glued to your seats.
Review: Laughter is the best therapy and this movie ensures that you laugh a lot! Tari Maate Once More is a fresh take on friendship— it's not just about three or four guys from the campus as buddies, but it revolves around a group of guys and girls. And mind you, the creative team/writer has ensured to give equal weightage to the girls' characters as well, which is refreshing to watch. Talking about direction, debutant Saurin Chaudhari has done a decent job in putting forward a fun story, which also has a love triangle as well as emotions laced to it. He has filmed the story in Gujarat as well as Goa. The music is decent and so is the background score. The dialogues are done pretty well and some amazing punchlines make you go ROFL! The makers have created a fun theatre-scene of Draupadi's Swayamvar, which reminds you of Kundan Shah's cult film Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro's chaotic fun scene. However, this one has a different take and it is genuinely funny.
Casting wise, Bharat Chawda and Janki Bodiwala make for a glamourous screen-jodi but in terms of performance, they don't really have anything new to offer. Jolly Rathod and Shraddha Dangar are apt in their roles. The real stars of the movie are Hemang Dave and Ojas Rawal with their power-packed performances. Hemang surprises us with the shudhh Gujarati dialogues and a natural performance. Ojas has not only cross-dressed, he has acquired just the right Sindhi accent and even had a scene where he was all covered with cow-dung- quite some dedication to put up an act right! We loved the performance of the actor who essayed the role of Jigar, an assistant to Maggie (Ojas), and another excellent performance comes from Ragi Jani as Don Bhai.
The editing of the film could have been much better though, which would have made it crisper. The film's cinematography has its share of problems, and it doesn't do justice to the visual aspects. But overall, the film's makers and actors manage to lift the movie at just the right places. To sum it up, this one is a fun filled one-time watch.

The 2015 Grammys Get Jazz Mostly Wrong, a Little Right | PopMatters
http://www.popmatters.com/column/189533-the-2015-grammys-get-jazz-mostly-wrong-a-little-right/
By Will Layman 19 January 2015
The 2015 Grammys Get Jazz Mostly Wrong, a Little Right
With the end of one year and the start of another, we are driven to assess, rank, top-ten, compare, and because you can't do the other things without doing this, categorize. Movies, plays, music, but everything else too: dunks, catches, news stories, all of it. Then, naturally, we put the results on TV.
Cinema has the Oscars, of course, but it's such a huge industry that there are also the Golden Globes, the New York Film Critics, and just about every newspaper and website out there picking the best. If you don't like one measure, there's probably another you can tune into for some affirmation, verification, or maybe a tip on what to spend your next $15 on.
In music, we just have the Grammys and — let's all say it together, now — they generally stink. They're hopelessly out of touch, narrow, and sales-oriented. Except when they're not. Like members of congress and lawyers, they're easy to hate, unless they're on your side.
For jazz, the Grammys are a complicated topic. There have been times when The Recording Academy (the official name of the organization that awards the Grammys, and did you know that Sheila E and Harvey Mason, Jr. are both trustees of the Academy?) has recognized jazz in important ways. A few years ago, Esperanza Spalding won "Best New Artist" over this list: Drake, Mumford and Sons, Florence and the Machine and… Justin Bieber. There's no way of knowing what that meant, exactly, but it felt less like the victory of good music over Justin Bieber and more like recognition of excellent but accessible jazz in a field of excellent and accessible hip hop, roots music, and indie-pop. A few years earlier, in 2008, Herbie Hancock took home Album of the Year honors over Kanye West, Amy Winehouse, Vince Gill, and The Foo Fighters.
Flawed as they are, the Grammys don't always get it wrong, and more importantly for folks who care about jazz, they still have a kind of meaning, even if we wish it weren't so.
So, having already weighed in on 2014's best jazz, let's investigate how 2014's jazz will be Grammy-remembered.
All Mixed Up: Jazz Singing That Isn't… or Something
Every chance you have to ask "What is jazz, anyway?" should probably be avoided. Jazz musicians themselves can't agree (or, more often, don't care), and jazz fans have as many opinions as they have passions. The Academy has no idea either, as the names of the Grammy categories, and the sliced and diced nominations, demonstrate.
For example, the Grammys have a category called "Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album", which is the home this year to artists such as Johnny Mathis, Barbra Streisand, and Barry Manilow. Makes sense as a way of allowing that kind of music to get some recognition while not competing with Katy Perry and Ariane Grande. But this year, the category might also be called "Best Jazz Album Recorded by a Pop Star … Maybe with the Help of a Jazz Singer". Because there you have Annie Lennox and her Blue Note album Nostalgia as well as, natch, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga going Cheek to Cheek.
It's not that this is the wrong category for those records, exactly, but Bennett and Gaga certainly spent every second of their endless media tour calling their music "jazz", and Lennox's effort takes on "The Nearness of You", "God Bless the Child", "Mood Indigo", and "Strange Fruit" in nontraditional ways.
I haven't written about Gaga as a jazz singer, but here goes: she's fine — certainly better than much of the jazz singing that I heard in 2014. She's bright-voiced and in tune, and her feel on the slower tunes like "But Beautiful" is great, with a nice sound, rich in tone and molding the melody with care. But her rhythmic feel makes clear that she hasn't sung much jazz. Her approach is very Broadway, lacking the cool pliancy that Tony Bennett is so great at, right next to her on the record. I actually prefer the way she leans into the difficulty of "Lush Life" to the way she glitters up and makes square the up-tempo parts of "Cheek to Cheek".
Weirder for me is the way Gaga — who grew up in Manhattan but has a telltale background playing lead roles in high school musicals — seems to affect various odd accents on some tunes, sounding kind of British at times, Betty Boopish at others. She makes her jazz singing into a kind of schtick. Is her record with Bennett jazz rather than "traditional pop"? When the strings sweep in, maybe it's the latter. At other times, it's hard to figure out what jazz could be if this ain't it. Is it great jazz, Grammy-nominatable jazz? Gosh, no.
The Lennox record is more honest and more interesting. She's not trying to fool us into thinking she's a jazz singer who sounds different than the pop singer we already know. The take on "Mood Indigo" features electric guitar strumming without much jazz nuance. It tacks a straight twelve-bar form onto the Ellington tune, and that's where it really sounds at home. Rather than faux-jazz, this seems more like rock-roots music that's wearing a metaphoric jazz fedora for style.
Lennox's voice is the same as it ever was, utterly not swinging, utterly not that of a jazz singer. Her "Summertime" is really cool, a great piano arrangement that has an ominous groove, but it's not jazz-like, just like her voice. Is it "traditional pop"? It's remarkably untraditional (other than the repertoire), and that's why it's good. Neither does it sit in the jazz tradition. It is sui generis, it kicks Barry Manilow's ass by any measure, and it probably belongs in a Grammy category not yet invented.
When you slide over to the actual "Best Jazz Vocal Album" category, things are a little confusing there, too. Tierney Sutton, a terrific singer who pretty much lives in this category, is nominated for the delicate, spare, and accomplished Paris Sessions. Rene Marie gets a nod for her saucy and surprisingly wonderful Eartha Kitt tribute, I Wanna Be Evil. And Gretchen Parlato's superb Live in NYC is here, showing a glimpse of how jazz singing is moving forward in 2014.
Dianne Reeves — another excellent "jazz" singer — is nominated for similar-isn collaboration with Robert Glasper (who has been a big influence on and collaborator with Parlato) as well as Esperanza Spalding, George Duke (RIP, and also Reeves' cousin) and others. Beautiful Lifeslides into R&B territory pretty often. Then, there is pianist Billy Childs' tribute to folk-pop legend Laura Nyro, a pu-pu platter of delight that is clearly modeled on Hancock's Album of the Year Joni Mitchell record: ten cool and idiosyncratic songs from a golden age of pop-rock, with a different singer on every track. Is it jazz? That's hard to say, but in a good way.
The Reeves record might not be jazz. It's very much a Robert Glasper project that falls on the commercial R&B side of his divide: and, yes, he is again nominated for "Best R&B Album" with Black Radio 2, which predecessor won that category in 2013.
(Side note: the Grammys' attempt to make sense of R&B is a hopeless muddle. It has separate categories for "Best R&B Performance" and "Best Traditional R&B Performance", mirroring its pop vocal set-up. Glasper's version of "Jesus Children" on Black Radio 2 in the traditional category, which seems odd given how much hip-hop feel there is in this track, though it's a Stevie Wonder tune. For "albums", however, there's just one R&B category, but there's a separate "Urban Contemporary Album" category, whatever that means, though it's not rap or hip-hop, which has its own category. Huh.)
The Childs record is even harder to figure as "jazz", even though Childs is a jazz pianist by background. His Nyro record is mainly a setting for: Alison Krauss, Ricki Lee Jones, Susan Tedeschi, Renee Fleming, Lisa Fisher, Shawn Colvin, and Ledisi, not one really a "jazz" singer. But what about the tracks featuring Esperanza Spalding, Becca Stevens, and Dianne Reeves, you say? Becca Stevens was actually featured on my favorite "jazz" record of the year by Ambrose Akinmusere, right? Does that make her a "jazz" singer? Does the killer gospel/jazz piano solo that Childs plays on Ledesi's "Stone Soul Picnic" make it jazz? Does the fact that the song fades out over the solo invalidate that? Ahhhhhhh, who knows. Who cares, right?
In the end, the problem is that these categories make little sense because the music itself isn't obedient; it doesn't color within the lines or give even half a hoot about whether we call it "jazz" or "pop" or "R&B", contemporary, traditional or otherwise. The Grammys knows this, too: "And When I Die" (Alison Krauss's feature from the Billy Childs record) is also specifically nominated for "Best American Roots Performance", another label the Academy just made up that means whatever you want it to mean.
Safe Choices: The Grammys' Jazz Instrumental Categories
Jazz singers may slide across more boundaries than the average saxophone player; once you pick up an alto and start improvising, you are pretty likely playing jazz. And sure enough, the Grammys' instrumental categories make a bit more sense.
In a typical year, the Academy sneaks in a big name, maybe in a tribute segment, maybe in one of those uncomfortable numbers where Sting and Herbie Hancock team up with The Foo Fighters to do a Burt Bacharach tune.
First, the Academy has found a home of sorts for so-called "smooth jazz": "Best Contemporary Instrumental Album" (formerly "Best Pop Instrumental Album" — the Grammys have created a series of what the Academy calls "fields" of music, and "contemporary" is a new one that, you know, kind of means nothing, but there you go). Awarded only since 2001, this award sweeps up nominees like Spyro Gyra, Kenny G, and Boney James (smoothies all) but also: George Winston (presumably a candidate for the "New Age" award), Brian Setzer (a retro-rocker), John Tesh (a purveyor of what used to be called "easy listening" music), Prince (yup, in 2004 for N.E.W.S.) and this year, Chris Thile and Edgar Meyer for their acoustic duets on Nonesuch, which have about as much similarity to smooth jazz as Lebron James has to an Easter Peep.
"Contemporary Instrumental" may be a catch-all, but it has the effect of making the "Jazz Instrumental" category makes some sense. This year's nominees are all most certainly legitimate and fine jazz records: Landmarks (Blue Note) by Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band, Trilogy(Concord) by the Chick Corea Trio, Floating (Palmetto) by the Fred Hersch Trio, Enjoy the View (Blue Note) by Bobby Hutcherson, David Sanborn, and Joey DeFrancesco featuring Billy Hart, and All Rise: A Joyful Elegy for Fats Waller (Blue Note) by Jason Moran.
Two of those (Blade and Moran) were among my favorites. I didn't love Corea's latest, but it's hard to entirely quibble with a band featuring Brian Blade and Christian McBride. Fred Hersch's trio is always sharp. And when Bobby Hutcherson is nominated for a Grammy, the world is a better place. But it's hard not to note that three of the five nominated recordings are from Blue Note, which is the Big Dog of jazz labels (owned by the Universal Music Group). Brian Blade is the drummer on two of the records. And Chick Corea and David Sanborn are maybe the Dustin Hoffman and George Clooney of jazz: known to all and very safe bets. Just one of these records comes from an independent label.
One of the charming quirks of the Grammys' take on jazz is the category "Best Improvised Jazz Solo". The award has included the word "improvised" only since 2009, whereas before that the category mirrored the "Best Classical Instrumental Performance" category. It seems almost quaint to imagine voters seriously thinking that they can vote on the "best" improvised solo, as if anyone, even the most ardent jazz critic or fan, has listened to them all and believes they can be evaluated one against another. It would be like the National Book Award people voting on "Best Sentence in a Book".
Regardless, the results of the voting in the "jazz solo" category over the years tell a tale. From all the myriad soloists who have played on the gajillions of jazz records in recent years, here's who's won since 1972: Michael Brecker (six times), Oscar Peterson (four times), Chick Corea (four times), Gary Burton (three times), Wynton Marsalis (three times in a row), Herbie Hancock (three times), Wayne Shorter (three times), and multiple times for Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Terence Blanchard, Joe Henderson, you get the idea. Pretty much, Mr. Grammy only knows a few jazz musicians, and he just gives those guys awards over and over again.
This year, the nominated soloists are Corea ('f course), Hersch, Kenny Barron, Joe Lovano, and Brad Mehldau: four pianists for some reason. It's interesting to note that Mehldau is nominated for a Fender Rhodes electric piano solo on a track from his intriguing collaboration with drummer Mark Guiliana — an album that might have been nominated in the "Best Dance/Electronic Album" category, as it's not exactly a jazz record. It's also notable that, of all the many nominees in the various jazz categories, barely any are under 50. Mehldau, Blade, and DeFrancesco are in their 40s. Moran and Parlato are in their 30s. Pedrito Martinez, nominated in the Latin Jazz category, may be even younger.
But this is as much about safety as it is about age. In polls of jazz critics, the top albums of 2014 are usually coming from a different and more adventurous place in the scene. The NPR Music Jazz Critics Poll compiled by Francis Davis (full disclosure: I'm a voter there) gives its top spots to Steve Lehman's edgy septet on Mise en Abime, Wadada Leo Smith's Great Lakes Suites, Ambrose Akinmusere's The Imagined Savior is Far Easier to Paint, Sonny Rollins' Road Shows, Vol. , Mark Turner's Lathe of Heaven, and Marc Ribot's Live at the Village Vanguard. Only two of those discs are on major labels, and only Rollins qualifies as part of the perennial jazz establishment.
More importantly, Grammy nominations are still hard to come by if your music flirts with a vocabulary of dissonance that, 50 years ago, was considered part of the jazz avant-garde. Lehman, Smith, Ribot, and the like can get irascible in their playing, and maybe that's the thing.
Still, hope remains strong. Archie Shepp, a saxophonist who honks and screeches with the best, is nominated this year for "Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album" for Live: I Hear the Sound, a concert recording of his landmark Attica Blues. And Lehman at least appears on the Jason Moran record, as Moran himself is a remarkable and edgy player who just happened to make a very accessible Fats Waller tribute.
Perhaps it makes sense that part of what is new and exciting in jazz today is increasingly Grammy-friendly. The records by Parlato and Reeves both bear the stamp of Robert Glasper's touch at incorporating modern groove music (that is, a kind of hip hop) into a jazz setting without dumbing down the proceedings. Moran is up to much of the same thing on All Rise. In this area, the Grammy folks may actually be a bit more tolerant and forward-looking than many jazz critics.
Francis Davis, in his commentary on the NPR jazz poll, gets it wrong when he writes that the production on All Rise is "hip-hop-cum-smooth-jazz" and that MeShell N'degeocello's vocals "help do this [recording] in". You can fault the Grammys for being too safe, sure, but if a record incorporates elements of pop music in any way, you can be sure that some older jazz critics will oppose it. In fact, jazz needs both more hip-hop and more dissonance, and both Steve Lehman and Jason Moran bring those elements. And there's room for both.
When In Doubt, Make a Whitman's Sampler
What we learned from Herbie Hancock's Album of the Year win with The Joni Letters is, perhaps, that nothing succeeds quite like jazz that brings a little sophistication to pop music, and that incorporates a bevy of pop singers up front. Hancock had Tina Turner, Corrine Bailey Rae, Leonard Cohen, Norah Jones, and Joni herself fronting his band: pop shining up the jazz and jazz buffing the pop. That's why we're going to see the Billy Childs record win for jazz vocals this year — it's very nearly the same record.
And in the world music category, I'd bet most of the farm that the victory will go to the Academy's old friend Sergio Mendes (of Brazil '66, '77, etc) who also made a Whitman's Sampler of a record in Magic, a record released on the mostly-jazz imprint Okeh. Featuring American stars like John Legend and Jangle Monae and Brazilian big names such as Milton Nascimento and Carlinhos Brown, Mendes' latest gives Grammy voters the chance to endorse (or discover that they are familiar with) the work of any one of several big star. Like casting a movie with a series of big-name stars in supporting roles (have you seen Paul Thomas Anderson's Pynchon adaptation, Inherent Vice yet? It likely contains one of your favorite actors!), making records this way makes Grammy-rific sense.
Familiarity comforts. It sells. But it's not the future.
Sell More Records
Of course, the Grammys are not about the future. They are about the past year. They are supposed to be about the music that made the past year great. But in fact, what the Grammys do is impact future record sales and song downloads. A year ago, Grammy wins increased sales for Daft Punk (300 percent), Kacey Musgraves (177 percent), Lorde (86 percent), Imagine Dragons (65 percent), Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (62 percent), and Katy Perry (22 percent). So, when the 2015 Grammys are handed out on 8 February at the Staples Center in L.A., musicians will have crossed fingers, as will their hopeful promoters and managers. The jazz categories may not produce big surges, but in a corner of the music business where times are tough, every little boost counts.
Will any jazz musicians make it onto the telecast? Maybe that exposure means more than a win. In a typical year, the Academy sneaks in a big name, maybe in a tribute segment, maybe in one of those uncomfortable numbers where Sting and Herbie Hancock team up with The Foo Fighters to do a Burt Bacharach tune.
However it shakes out, it hard to imagine that the 2015 Grammys will significantly promote jazz. That work is being done by the art form itself in tiny steps: in the dazzling New York Winter Jazzfest that began on 8 January; in the continued refusal of the new generation of musicians to limit their music to what was prescribed in 1960, 1980, or 2000; and in the open-mindedness of fans will follow Jason Moran from Monk to MeShell N'degeocello or follow Gretchen Parlato from Robert Glasper to Wayne Shorter.
The music remains more expansive than the list of nominees that the Academy is comfortable with, and more elastic than the crazy Grammy categories themselves. Do you know how many Grammys Duke Ellington won? Neither do I.

One of the many pleasures of Mauritius is the seemingly-endless supply of public holidays. I'm joking! Well, not really – having a day off from time to time is fun, of course, but what makes these days truly special is that everybody, regardless of ethnicity and religion, celebrates each other's festivities – Maha Shivaratri, Christmas, Eid al-Fitr, Diwali, you name it. This Tuesday 5th of Febuary marks the official start of the Chinese New Year, celebrated by all Mauritians in true style, fusing our Chinese heritage with our local culture.
Celebrations (and preparations!) started at least a week ago or so. Firecrackers were lit in front of shops to ward away bad spirits, and – if you, dear reader, have been living and working in Mauritius for some time now, you'll know – many boxes containing bountiful Chinese delights have been given and received. The unmissable treasure in these red and gold boxes is the famous 'gâteau la cire', a delicious cake made of rice flour, orange marmalade and sugar ('cire' denoting its waxy appearance, I suppose. In other parts of the world, it's referred to as nian gao). Depending on the box, you can also find local treats such as 'gato zorey' ('ear cakes', a savoury-sweet treat). Families and friends also exchange foong pao (also known as hong bao), which are gorgeous red and gold envelopes filled with notes.
On the eve of Chinese New Year, families often come together for a special reunion dinner. The dishes served often have very specific meanings: fish for abundance, dumplings for wealth, noodles for longevity and so forth. At the exact time that New Year is proclaimed (no, it's not necessarily midnight), firecrackers are lit, usually at the entrance of the family home: you'll definitely hear them all around you and see them the next day, for the red paper residue garnishes many a street.
Don't forget to pay your respects and pray for prosperity by visiting one of the capital's photogenic pagodas, and Happy Year of the Pig!

Nymphet (English Printing of Kodomo no Jikan, 2007)
Revision as of 14:59, 1 October 2019 by Em's world (Message Wall | contribs)
DISCLAIMER: This article (or part of it) deals with Violent, Sexual, Profane, and/or Drug-Related Content. Viewer Discretion is Advised.
In July 2006, Seven Seas Entertainment officially announced their licensing of the seinen manga Kodomo no Jikan by Kaworu Watashiya, with an originally planned release of the first volume in December 2006. The release was delayed for unknown reasons until 2007.
Finally, on May 29, 2007, Seven Seas Entertainment had an official press release come out exclusively to Anime News Network, claiming they were dealing with backlash over the series' controversial nature and were stuck on what to do, and delayed the release of the series until they could have "an open dialogue with the large book chains and other vendors".
Just one day later, the release of the manga was canceled, with the president of Seven Seas known as Jason DeAngelis stating that "it's not appropriate for Seven Seas to publish Nymphet."
He stated later that the primary reason for canceling the publication was "due to [his] recent realization that later volumes in the series can not be considered appropriate for the US market by any reasonable standard."
In a way, the president of Seven Seas ended up turning against the title he was so hellbent on releasing in the end, discussing his disgust on his blog over a scene where the male protagonist gets an erection after his student rubs up against him.
However, it has been confirmed a limited number of copies of the first volume were printed before the cancelation, and an Amazon listing is up to this day stating "Out of Print--Limited Availability."

A quoted "Aoi Notes" is on this forum page, in which someone who worked heavily on the release of the first volume is disappointed it'll never make it to the public eye.

BACP Private Practice Conference - Relationships: Why do we bother?
As a UKCP registered clinical psychotherapist, I am governed by the Ethical Principles and Code of Professional Conduct of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
I am also a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and as such, I am bound by their Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I have a particular interest in attachment theory, neuroscience, relational psychotherapy and mindfulness and their capacity, when tailored to individual needs within the therapeutic relationship, to treat a range of difficulties. Within the area of attachment I am especially interested in the concept of an internal secure base, its impact on mental well-being and the possibilities for acquiring this through therapy.
Attachment Theory which originated in the work of John Bowlby has shown the importance of secure parental presence and foundations in forming a secure sense of self and stable ongoing identity. Without the experience of this early secure base, insecure, anxious and avoidant attachment styles can develop and lead to difficulties in relationship, such as feeling isolated, or clinging to relationships that mimic the insecurities experienced in early life. The impact on the way we feel, think and act can be profound. The research dissertation for my masters degree studied the experience of an internal secure base developed in therapy.
I also have an strong interest in the possibilities for engaging with the power and purpose of the teenage brain. Neuroscience has shown us that due to brain plasticity at this time there is a huge opportunity for the growth of new neural networks - especially exciting given the possibilities for the development of an 'earned' secure base in therapy.
I believe that in developing a genuine, secure, relationship together in therapy it is possible to find a way forward that is right for you as a unique person with your own individual experiences, beliefs and needs.

New York Genealogy Records and More
by Sunny | Jun 15, 2018 | 01 What's New, Ancestry, Australian, Canadian, Italian, Swedish, United States
Work on your New York genealogy research with these new naturalization and marriage license records. Also: WWII draft registrations; family history records for AL, ID, KS, KY, LA, OH, VA; and records from Australia, Canada (including a mapped-out photo archive of Toronto streets), Denmark, Italy, Portugal, and Sweden.
Welcome to our weekly roundup of new and updated genealogy records online. Most of this week's images come from Genealogy Giants Ancestry.com and the free FamilySearch.org, but there are few additional sites represented here, too! Happy researching!
Featured: New York genealogy records
Over three-quarters of a million indexed records have been added to New York, Southern District, U.S District Court Naturalization Records, 1824-1946. New York research is challenging for many reasons, not least among them limited access to vital records for your transient and immigrant ancestors in this state. Naturalization records are also typically difficult to find, as your ancestors in certain time periods could submit paperwork in any court they pleased. So this is a great collection! Let us know if you find any ancestors in this collection. We love hearing about your successes.
New York. The New York City marriage license index for 1996-2017, with 1.5 million records, is now free online, searchable and even downloadable. This announcement is from Reclaim the Records: "We successfully fought the New York City government for nine months to get the first-ever public copy of the 1996-2017 New York City marriage license index. It's about 1.5 million records, which is about 3.1 million names. And you can now search this data, or even download it or reuse it, totally free. It's in the public domain, no copyright. This 1996-2017 data is the continuation of the 1908-1929 and 1930-1995 data sets we won in two previous lawsuits from the NYC Municipal Archives and the NYC Clerk's Office, respectively. (You can also check out the scanned microfilm images of the 1908-1972 portion of the marriage license data at the Internet Archive.)
More new genealogy records from around the United States

It also contains an index (with a link to images available on Fold3) for about half of U.S. states.
Alabama. Subscription giant Ancestry.com has added a new collection, "Alabama, Surname Files Expanded, 1702–1981." According to the site, "This database contains various records providing biographical information on individuals who lived in Alabama. Staff members at the Alabama Department of Archives and History (ADAH) started compiling these records on Alabamians in 1901. They include a variety of items and record types arranged by surname: newspaper clippings, obituaries, local and family histories, donated family research and records, extracts from censuses, research requests made to the archives, and other items."
Idaho. Ancestry.com has recently updated these collections of Idaho vital records:
Idaho, Birth Index, 1861-1917, Stillbirth Index, 1905-1967
Idaho, County Birth and Death Records, 1863-1967

You can search the index or browse the images, which include death certificates, 1911-1965 as well as "mortuary records, registers of deaths, and death certificates for Newport, Louisville, Lexington, Covington, and Jefferson County, up to 1911."
Louisiana. Subscription giant Ancestry.com has updated its collection of Louisiana, Soldiers in the War of 1812. "This compilation contains an alphabetical list of Louisiana soldiers who fought for the state militia during the War of 1812. Taken from the National Archives, each entry includes the rank and company to which the soldier was attached."
Ohio. New (and always free) at FamilySearch is a collection of Ohio, Washington County Newspaper Obituarie s, 1884-2013. The collection already contains nearly 700,000 new indexed records. Washington County is key to Ohio history because it was the original county in this Northwest Territory state.

Subscription giant Ancestry.com has updated its collection of Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935. "Passenger lists of ships arriving in various Canadian ports, as well as some eastern U.S. ports from 1865–1935, are indexed this database.

Sweden. About 13,000 indexed records have been added to Sweden, Örebro Church Records, 1613-1918; index 1635-1860. As the title of the collection indicates, only a portion of the records have been indexed (had the names extracted).

Q: String stores data from unrelated memory address I'm trying to generate a string of 50 dots. I have the following code:
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main(){
  string s(".",50);
  cout << s;
  }

and the output is:
.vector::_M_realloc_insert$C����pX�%

The string s doesn't store . 50 times, but some other part of memory. A leak happened, and I have no idea how.
What went wrong? How do I go about generating a string of length n consisting only of dots? In general, I want to do in c++ what in python would be done by "c"*n.
Thank you.

A: Your example could be a whole lot shorter, and still have the same problem.
The problem is that with the std::string constructor you use, the length is the length of the string ".", not how long the std::string should be. Since "." is not 50 characters long, you will have undefined behavior.
From the linked reference for constructor number 4 (the one you use):

The behavior is undefined if [s, s + count) is not a valid range

There s is the string "." and count is the value 50.
The constructor I guess you want to use is the one taking a single character instead of a string (number 2 in the linked reference):
std::string s(50, '.');  // Fill string with 50 dots

Traditional fixed and wired gas monitors replaced
RAE Systems Inc has announced that its Mesh Guard wireless gas-detection system has been selected for use in a major methane gas production company.
A leading coal seam methane gas producer in Australia has selected the wireless MeshGuard system to replace traditional fixed and wired gas monitors in methane gas production. The older solution demanded that all of the cables be trenched to maintain intrinsic safety. The wireless MeshGuard system eliminated that deployment step and accelerated time to production by several weeks. Coal-bed seam methane gas is the cleanest form of natural gas. It is found trapped by water and pressure in coal-bed seams 1000 to 1600 feet (300-500 meters) deep. The most common use for this gas is to power steam turbine electricity-generating plants.
"The customer wanted something different from hard-wired, fixed heads or portable instruments," said Aleks Todorovic, regional sales manager for RAE Systems Australia. "He knew that each well had a finite life and was looking for a robust solution that would reduce his redeployment time and cost. He configured a MeshGuard system consisting of four lower-explosive-limit (LEL) monitors to detect flammable gas leaks along with extended-run-time RAE PowerPaks, two hydrogen sulfide (H2S) monitors and an FMC 2000 controller. The system was delivered, installed on the drilling site and operational in 30 minutes."
MeshGuard is a flexible, wireless, single gas monitoring system that can be configured to detect carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), Lower Explosive Limit/ Flammability (LEL) and sulphur dioxide (SO2). MeshGuard users can include oil refineries, chemical plants, oil and gas drilling and exploration operations, storage facilities, shipyards, liquid storage terminals and hot process steel mills.
The MeshGuard systems and MeshGuard Rapid Deployment Kits are available from authorized RAE Systems distributors.

Norwegian third tier side IK Junkeren sign 16-year-old called Lionel Messi
By Kat Lucas
Many clubs have dreamed of luring Lionel Messi from Barcelona over the years.
There have long been unconfirmed rumours that Manchester City once tried to bid over £700million for the Argentine.
However, with the Blaugrana set to open talks with the forward over a new contract that would keep him at the club until he's 36, they should be keeping hold of him.
So how has it come to pass that he's just signed for IK Junkeren in the third tier of Norwegian football?
Genuinely, Lionel Messi has put pen to paper - but he's going to have his work cut out to make it into the first team.

Ronaldo: Messi has made me a better footballer
Messi's touch map shows how his position's changed
The Scandinavian outfit have, in fact, procured a 16-year-old who has changed his name in honour of his biggest football idol.
Ah...Had you fooled there, didn't we?
Originally named Daniel Are Knutsen, this young man has put himself under an awful lot of pressure to live up to the name.
He's also adapted his playing style to try and emulate his hero.
"I've had a plan to change my name for a while," he told Norwegian newspaper VG, via The Sun.
"Lionel Messi is my biggest idol and with my dedication to football, it was nothing more than to try.
"I want to say that I try as best as I can to play his way.
"It's possible to see some similarities, but my talent probably isn't as great."
Probably not Daniel, no.
IK Junkeren might find, however, that there are suddenly a fair few more fans turning up to watch their under-16's this season.
First team manager Runar Bo Eriksen added:
"I joked earlier that we have to look for Cristiano Ronaldo.
"[Messi] is going to play under-16 football first and foremost, but we hope he will eventually join the first team."
It's certainly one way for a youngster to make a name for himself.

Martin's naming system can be a little mysterious at times. Take this 1970s D12-20 for example. At first glance it looks like an 18 style. Like an 18 from 1970 it has a spruce top, mahogany sides and back, dark binding, rosewood bridge and fretboard and a black pickguard. So what makes it a 20? It has black bridge pins with white dots, a style 28 checkered back strip and an extra white line on the back binding. That's it. Three extra cosmetic feature two of which nobody can see when you're playing the guitar. And where did the 20 designation come from? Again, that is mysterious.
So, apart from it's peculiar naming history, what is the D12-20 like as a guitar? Personally, I think they sound really nice. Martin introduced the model in 1964, and opted to use their 12-fret dreadnought body shape, a decision that I think makes this guitar sound so good. On a 12-fret dreadnought the string length is the same as on a 14-fret guitar, but the bridge is moved closer to the center of the top, where the strings can drive the top more efficiently. Martin also opted to use a slotted headstock, which i think is aethetically pleasing.
This guitar is in overall good shape. It shows some signs or normal wear and tear through the years. It has two bigger more noticable blemishes on the top (pictured). It was brought to us by the original owner. Comes with the original hardshell case.

Q: path with js / php files and ajax functions I've got problems after I moved my files in a structered directory list (I used relative links in all files).
A quick overview:
www
  js
    functions.js
  php
    ajax.send.php       include ('./functions.php');
    ajax.delete.php     include ('./functions.php');
    functions.php
  other dirs that have no influence
  index.php             include ('./php/functions.php'); and ofc js embedding <script type="text/javascript" src="./js/functions.js"></script>

The ajax stuff on the startpage works, but the php functions within ajax.send.php and ajax.delete.php aren't working correctly (but the path is correct?!)
I've tried every possible path in theses two files but there's no way to get this stuff to work.
Have I missed something? I'm at the end of my rope.
Greetings Fabio

A: Could you try
ajax.send.php       include ('./php/functions.php');
ajax.delete.php     include ('./php/functions.php');

A: It is better to use absolute path. Try to use this construction:
ajax.send.php       include dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'functions.php';
index.php           include dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'php' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'functions.php';

De USS Maryland (BB-46) was een Coloradoklasse slagschip van de Verenigde Staten. Het schip nam deel aan de oorlog in de Grote Oceaan tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Bij de Japanse aanval op Pearl Harbor van 7 december 1941 lag ze gemeerd naast USS Oklahoma (BB-37) die kapseisde als gevolg van de aanval op Battleship Row.

Geschiedenis

Pearl Harbor
De USS Maryland (BB-46) stond onder bevel van kapitein-ter-Zee D. C. Godwin.
Het slagschip lag als eerste gemeerd, in een dubbele rij slagschepen naast de USS Oklahoma. Ze lag gemeerd aan de piersteiger die verbinding gaf met Ford Island. Achter haar lag de USS Tennessee (BB-43) met daarnaast de USS West Virginia (BB-48). Voor hen lag de USS California (BB-44). Daar nog achter lag de USS Arizona (BB-39) met naast haar aan de buitenzijde het reparatieschip USS Vestal (AR-4) die op 6 december aan de werkzaamheden was begonnen aan boord van het slagschip. Geheel achteraan lag de USS Nevada (BB-36). Deze zou nog ontsnappen aan de totale vernietiging, zoals met de USS Arizona en later met de USS Oklahoma het geval zou zijn.

Op dat moment van de 7e december vóór 08.00 u. lag de marine-olietanker USS Neosho (AO-23) achter-tussenin de USS Oklahoma en de USS Maryland. Ze zou vliegtuigbenzine lossen voor de katapultvliegtuigen op de slagschepen, toen de aanval onverwachts en verrassend begon rond dit tijdstip. De Japanse Nakajima B5N "Kate"-vliegtuigen scheerden laag over de kanaalgeul en draaiden dan naar hun bakboordzijde om laagvliegend hun torpedo's te lossen. Andere Japanse jagers kwamen van bovenaf aangevlogen en dropten hun bommen op de binnenwaarts gemeerde schepen. Terwijl de USS Oklahoma, USS California en de USS West Virginia torpedo's moesten incasseerden, kreeg de USS Arizona een fatale bomtreffer in haar tweede geschuttoren, toren B of II. De 800 kg-bom drong door tot de munitiekamer en liet het slagschip ontploffen met zeer veel doden en gewonden tot gevolg. Het schip reet open door deze explosie en veel materiaal en stookolie vlogen in het rond toen haar ketels ook nog ontploften.

De USS Tennessee kreeg drie grote bomtreffers en de USS Nevada een torpedo in haar bakboordboeg te verwerken. De USS Maryland een 800 kg-bom op haar voorschip van een Japanse Aichi D3A-jachtbommenwerper. De zware bom ging dwars door het dek en sloeg een groot gat in de stuurboordboeg. Meteen vloog het voorcompartiment in brand en meteen werd de - op positieven gebrachte bemanning, en door hun ongeloof heen, dat dit werkelijk werkelijkheid was, en geen oefening - met brandslangen naar voren gestuurd om de brand te blussen. Ondertussen vlogen de brandende brokstukken van de ontplofte USS Arizona over en tegen de slagschepen. Haar brokstukken vlogen op de wal van Ford Eiland. De stukbemanningen begonnen meteen naar de Japanse aanvallers te vuren terwijl naast hen de USS Oklahoma langzaam begon om te slaan. Op dit moment passeerde de USS Neosho, omdat kapitein Philipps meteen dacht aan nog meer ontploffingsgevaar van zijn tankschip, en daarmee het hazenpad nam.

Hetzelfde deed het reparatieschip USS Vestal, dat eveneens geraakt was en achteraan stuurboord begon water te maken. Zij ging voor anker in de noordoostelijke hoek van de haven. De USS Maryland bleef nog drijven maar brandde ook fel. Ze lag en zat verborgen achter enorme zwarte rookkolommen van de USS Oklahoma en de USS West Virginia, die met haar kiel op de havenbodem lag. Meteen kwamen havenwerkers en anderen de scheepsbemanningen te hulp in hun strijd tegen het vuur en om de overlevenden uit hachelijke situatie's te redden. Ze hielpen gewonden aan de wal die naar ziekenhuizen op Hospital Island en Honolulu werden gebracht. De ziekenhuizen waren al snel overvol. Veel zwaargewonden lagen op dekens op de vloer in de hospitaalgangen. Van een rustige zondagmorgen was het opeens, in een paar uren tijd, een ware hel geworden voor iedereen op Pearl Harbor.

De branden op de USS Maryland werden succesvol bestreden. Op 30 december 1941 kwam ze aan op de reparatiewerf van Puget Sound Navy Yard in de staat Washington om te worden gerepareerd. De schade was minder ernstig dan gedacht. Versplinterde kanonschermplaten werden vernieuwd en de 5"/25 vuurmonden werden vervangen door 5"/75 snelvuurkanons. Ook werd de stelling-achtermast, vervangen door een moderne navigatiemast en vooraan kwam een radarmast. Het slagschip was op 9 februari 1942 weer gereed voor dienst in de Pacific.

Pacific
In februari 1943 lag ze voorlopig gemeerd voor anker in de Hauannah Bay in de Nieuwe Hebriden. Samen met zusterschip USS Colorado (BB-45) hield ze de wacht bij de zuidelijke scheepsroute bij Australië. De verouderde slagschepen kregen een beschermende rol toegewezen voor het thuisfront. Eigenlijk was hun rol uitgespeeld, doch men hield hen nog achter de hand.

November 1943 - Tarawa Invasion - De USS Maryland kwam daar daadwerkelijk in actie en vuurde met haar vernieuwde 16"/45 kanonnen, gedurende de voor-invasie op Tarawa-eiland. Waarnemend admiraal Harry W. Hill, Commander Task Force 53, en enkele hoge officieren van zijn staf observeerden het bombardement van het slagschip op het smalle eiland Tarawa vanaf de bakboordzijde van het slagschip. De granaatinslagen omploegden het strand en ontwortelden de palmbomen, tot een schraal landschap. De Jappen moesten zich terugtrekken aan de andere kant van het atol.

12 november 1943 - De USS Maryland beschoot met haar 16"/45 batterijen wederom Tarawa, om zeker te zijn dat de Japanners verjaagt zouden zijn.
Nadien kwam de grote Amerikaanse troepeninvasie op de stranden en begon werkelijk de Slag om Tarawa.

Op 25 april 1944 kwam de USS Maryland aan op Puget Sound, Washington. Daar kreeg ze een groot onderhoudsbeurt. De dag daarna werd ze weer verbouwd en kreeg ze een kleinere controletorenstructuur. Daarna vertrok ze naar Leyte voor de volgende slag.

Op 10 juli 1944 werd ze het slachtoffer van Kamikaze-aanvallen door Japanse zelfmoordpiloten. De schade kon beperkt worden zodat ze nog verder kon strijden ter ondersteuning op de latere zeeslag om Leyte.

In juli 1944 dropte een Japans vliegtuig een torpedo, die een gat sloeg in de romp aan stuurboordzijde-voor. De slachtoffers waren gelukkig lichtgewond en in 15 minuten tijd was het slagschip weer onderweg naar Eniwetok. Kort daarna vertrok ze naar de scheepswerf van Pearl Harbor. Daar werkten de scheepsherstellers de klok rond en op 19 augustus, 34 dagen na aankomst, was het schip weer terug onder stoom voor de oorlog.

Op 29 november 1944 viel ze weer ten prooi aan Kamikaze-aanvallen. Op de avond van 29 november sloeg een Japanse zelfmoordpiloot met zijn vliegtuig, nog met zijn bommen, munitie en nog de volledige brandstof aan boord, op het slagschip. Hierbij vielen er doden en gewonden. Na de Slag in de Golf van Leyte vertrok ze weer naar Pearl Harbor voor de nodige herstellingen.

Weer werd ze het slachtoffer op 7 april 1945 van Kamikaze-aanvallen. Ze kon blijven verder strijden totdat ze uiteindelijk op 5 augustus 1945 naar Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington aankwam voor een grote 'overhaul'. Op 15 augustus 1945 vertrok ze van de scheepswerf. Voor haar was de oorlog gedaan.

Op 3 april 1947 zat haar diensttijd definitief erop en werd ze in de reservevloot geplaatst. Ze werd opgelegd op 1 maart 1959 te Alameda, Californië. Vijf maanden later werd ze volledig geschrapt van de US Navylijst en doorverkocht op 8 juli 1959 naar de sloop.

Saudi Arabia's Haramain train project expected to serve 30 million pilgrims
30 million pilgrims, expected to serve, Saudia Haramain train project
Jeddah: The high-speed Haramain train's importance to Saudi Arabia has been highlighted with an announcement by King Salman that he will rely on the super-fast service for his next visit to Madinah.
The city's governor, Prince Faisal bin Salman, expressed his appreciation to the Saudi ruler for his support of public transport in the Kingdom, and especially for the high-speed Haramain train.
The project is part of the Kingdom's role in serving pilgrims to the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the visitors to the Prophet's Mosque.
Prince Faisal used the high-speed rail for the journey to Friday prayers at the Grand Mosque of Makkah.
"The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman, has informed me of his intention to take the Haramain high-speed rail soon when he visits Madinah or departs from it to Makkah," Prince Faisal said.
Among passengers for a journey that left Madinah on Friday were Prince Faisal, Minister of Transportation and chairman of the Saudi Railway Organization Nabil Al-Amoudi, and Chairman of the Public Transport Authority (PTA) and acting head of the Saudi Railways Organization Rumaih bin Mohammed Al-Rumaih.
Prince Faisal highlighted the importance of the project linking Makkah and Madinah through Jeddah and King Abdullah Economic City in Rabigh in light of efforts to receive 30 million pilgrims as part of Vision 2030 program to diversify revenues.
He said the Haramain high-speed rail link was among the safest and most important transportation services in the world. The rail service will enhance the flow of visitors to the Two Holy Mosques through the link between the two holy cities.
The Madinah governor expressed confidence in the performance of the Saudi youth and the services they provide at the stations.
"What I saw invites me to register my honor and pride in the significant role played by young men and women in all stages of the development, including their effective contribution and participation in establishing and implementing the high-speed rail."
Al-Amoudi said the support of Prince Faisal had made it easier to meet the challenges faced by work teams building the Haramain station in Madinah and the related phases within the time frame of the project.
He said the SR60 billion ($16 billion) high-speed train is on track to be fully operational this year.
Al-Amoudi said the pilot operation has been going to plan since the end of 2017. Project supervisors have organized regular trips in which a large number of governmental, non-governmental and charitable bodies have participated.
He said the PTA was focused on taking transport in the Kingdom to another level, guaranteeing opportunities for nationalization and thus achieving the Kingdom's Vision 2030.
The Haramain train station was proof of the Kingdom's competence in achieving such projects, he said.
The Haramain service is one of the biggest public transport projects in the Middle East, a 450-kilometer, two-way electric train linking Makkah and Madinah, with extensions to Jeddah and King Abdullah Economic City.
The project will carry 60 million passengers a year on 35 trains, with a seating capacity of 417 per train and traveling at a speed of 300 kph.
The station is about three kilometers from the Grand Mosque in Makkah, while the Madinah station is located in the Knowledge Economic City on King Abdul Aziz Road.
