Fatherland. The Mountains of Iranian Kurdistan
When I was a child my father taught me to respect the mountains. Waking up in the middle of the night to see the sunrise from the mountaintop seemed, at the time, like pointless suffering. We did not lose time having breakfast because "you don't eat before exerting yourself," my father explained. He would put a few pieces of chocolate in my pocket for when I got hungry. Even in summer it was still dark and cold. Along the first part of the path I slept on his shoulders. Halfway up, at first light, I'd jump down and start chattering. My father would remind me to be respectful, "you don't shout in the mountains."
"It is magnificent here" I tell Yousef. "Do you like it? It's yours!" he answers. We are sitting in the shade of the apple trees in the garden where he and his family pick cherries, on the outskirts of Mahabad in Iranian Kurdistan. I am here to work on my long-term documentary photography project on the Kurdish mountainous areas of Greater Kurdistan (Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey) and Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. The city of Mahabad is famous for being the capital of the first Kurdish republic in 1946. Unfortunately, the experience of autonomy lasted less than a year. Iranian Kurdistan, called also Eastern Kurdistan, is an unofficial name for the north western part of Iran inhabited by Kurds, at the border with Iraq and Turkey. They make a living in the mountains mostly from agriculture and pastoralism since the region lacks the investment that goes to other areas of Iran. For over ten years, the Tehran government has been creating collective villages, modifying their traditional nature, to prevent people from moving in masses to the cities. Kurds, part of the Sunni minority in a Shiite country, are treated as second class citizens. "Kurdistan suffers from the highest unemployment rate in the country," a psychologist told me. "Even those who have a degree like me are often unable to find a job and are forced to work seasonally as hired hands."
But Yousef's family is fortunate. They own their fields. They can divide the earnings and build a solid future for the younger generation. About twenty brothers, children, and grandchildren are gathered for their lunch break on mats and carpets in the shade under the trees. A fire is lit for tea. A delicate karkadè infusion is sipped before eating rice, fresh tomatoes, eggs, and boiled potatoes. They take turns to pray. Yousef is still lying down, cuddling his granddaughters, drinking tea, and smoking cigarettes when his daughters arrive. The youngest whispers something in his ear, he takes a knife and some chewing gum out of his pocket and cuts off a piece. She laughs and Yousef lovingly strokes her cheek.
Many dream of a better life in Europe where they can give their children freedom, work and different experiences. Faruq asks me to put him in contact with friends in the US with whom he could chat and practice his English. At twenty-three he already has regrets, the biggest being not studying enough. He would have liked to become a teacher. Aram is thirty and is married to Azar. He is a chemical engineer and works fifteen hours a day. He doesn't see his eight-month-old son much but dreams of him becoming a soccer champion. He has filled the house with balls "so we'll no longer have money problems," he says.
These areas witnessed clashes in 1979 between the newly proclaimed Islamic Republic of Iran and Kurdish fighters of the PDKI (Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan) before their exile to Iraqi Kurdistan. But fighting continues nowadays. "He is a shahid, a martyr," Azar's aunt tells me as she brandishes the pendant around her neck. The photo of her brother against a sky blue background is sad, like the memory the family has of him. As a young man he enlisted in the PJAK (Kurdistan Free Life Party). He lost his life two years ago fighting against ISIS in the Sinjar Mountains.
The countryside is a harmonious collage of colors that blend from intense green to straw yellow, to the almost white of the ears of wheat. "When the border was open, we never thought of ourselves as foreigners or distant," Khelan muses, "but now that the pass with Bashur (Iraqi Kurdistan) has been closed, not even the traffickers attempt it." Originally from a village near Penjwin, in Iraqi Kurdistan, Khelan is married to Adnan. Even though she has been living in Iran for fifteen years, she was given her identity card just a few weeks ago. She only speaks Kurdish and is happy that their three sons are taught to write in her language so that she can help them with their studies. From the terrace the light is soft as we watch the cows returning at the end of the day. A neighbour joins in the discussion. According to Khelan, travelling precludes motherhood, while her friend is enthusiastic to know that even foreign women can travel alone in Kurdistan. Just a moment before sunset, a tiny flock of white birds alights on the roof of the stable. "They say that these birds come from Iraq," Khelan comments. "Maybe they too have relatives here," jokes her neighbor.

Soyo (formálisan ismert: Santo António do Zaire) város Angolában, azon belül a Zaire provinciában fekszik, a Kongó folyó mentén.

Korai történet
Soyo (régebbi írással Sonho és Sonyo) az egykori Kongói Királyság egyik tartománya volt, ami délen feküdt a Kongó folyó mellékfolyója, a Loze folyó mentén, ami körülbelül 100 km-re volt. Ez már egy olyan közigazgatási entitás volt, akinek az uralkodója elviselte a mwene címet, amikor is a portugálok 1482-ben megérkeztek. Az első olyan kongói uralkodó volt, akit a misszionáriusok megkereszteltek, és akik 1491-ben odamentek a Kongói Királyság uralkodójához.

Soyót a 16. században uralták jellemzően a királyi családok tagja, akiket feltehetően kineveztek a királyhoz és a kiszolgáláshoz, amit korlátozott ideig támogattak. Az uralkodót a portugálok idején Manuelként keresztelték meg, azért hogy az uralkodó nagybácsija legyen. Kongó elnevezésén belül megengedték a városnak, hogy a királyi szabály alatt hódítson meg más régiókat és terjessze őket. Így I. Nzinga a Nkuwu kormányozta Kongót, akit 1491-ben engedélyeztek, illetve Soyo bővítését az uralkodó kerestségét követően. Továbbá megengedték azt is, hogy több tengeralattjáró-tartományt, köztük Pambalát is, hogy irányítsa, a Kimi, a Tubii és a Lovata folyó mentén (egyebek között), tovább az atlanti tengerpartig.

Soyo Mpinda kikötője, ami a Kongó közeli torkolatánál helyezkedett el, az egykori Portugál Kongó fontos kikötője volt a 16. század kereskedelmében. Az elefántcsontot és rezet rabszolgákkal szállítottak a kikötőből. Az 1548-as királyi vizsgálat felfedte, hogy az a 4000 rabszolga minden évben megáll São Tomé szigetén, majd Brazíliában.

Az 1590-es évek elején Miguelt megbecsülték, amikor II. Álvaro kongói király bemutatta a nemesség európai stíluscímeit. Álvarót azonban nem teljesen támogatták a nagyravágyás és a jelentős feszültség miatt, ami a város és Kongó között folyt, ami végül Miguel megismerésével végződött, néhány uralkodó által.

Az újabb uralkodók által minden megváltozott, amikor is állandóra tették Soyo saját jelöltjeit, méghozzá Paulónak köszönhetően, aki II. Pedro kongói királlyal volt kapcsolatban 1626 és 1641 között. Gyakran játszott még kisebb szerepeket a polgárháborúkban, ami az 1620-as és 1630-as években sújtotta Kongót.

Függetlenség
1641-ben II. Garcia kongói uralkodó felvátotta Paulót, és ellene volt az újonnan trónra emelt Garcia királyt, aki arra törekedett, hogy felváltsa őt. A megbecsült uralkodó ellenállt, miközben azt állította, hogy Soyo többi megbecsültjének joguk volt ahhoz, hogy kiválasszák saját nemes alárendelteiket a választáson keresztül. Garcia megpróbálta rávenni a várost, hogy ne vegyen részt a háborúban, de ez gyakori veszteséggel járt. Ez elsősorban a gyenge katonák miatt történt, a város erdősített területén Nfinda uralkodó megtámadta Ngula nevű uralkodót.

Ahogy a város még inkább független lett, úgy az uralkodók is elkezdték használni a hercegi címet, ami 17. század végétől a 18. század elejéig maradt meg. A városnak köze volt a kongói politikához, amit II. Garcia védett e politika Kimpanzu ágát.

1670-ben a portugál kormányzó arra törekedett, hogy átvegye Kongót, majd hogy lerohanja Soyót, ennek következtében kialakult a polgárháború. Az első győzelem után a portugál erők miatt később bekövetkezett a kitombói háború, ami a főváros közelében volt. A győzelem napja 1670. október 18-a, ami egybe Szent Lukács napja is, fontos szabadságnak tekintik.

Gazdaság
Soyo fontos szerepet tölt be a kőolajimportálásban és a kutatásban is. Itt található még egy kikötő és egy repülőtér is. A kormány kőolajfinomítót tervez a jövőben építeni a város környékén.

'RHOBH' Reunion Recap: Garcelle Beauvais Reveals A 'Threatening Text' Diana Jenkins Sent Her
Plus, Kyle Richards revealed she got a breast reduction as a surprise visit from a special guest kicked off the 'RHOBH' reunion on Oct. 12.
Image Credit: Bravo
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion kicked off on Oct. 12, and the drama did not disappoint. But before the arguing commenced, Jamie Lee Curtis surprised the ladies with a visit to the set, where she revealed that because of the "impact" of the show, her appearance earlier this season led to "the single biggest [sales] day in the history" of her charity (My Hand In Yours). And because of Dorit Kemsley's strong reaction to the products Jamie's charity was selling, the Halloween Ends actress decided to rebrand it as the "chicest children's charity". She also renamed the Dorit "Chic" Wind Chime because Dorit's "genuine enthusiasm changed" the company. Jamie also gifted everyone pumpkins with their faces carved into them.

Then, before Jamie ducked out, Kyle Richards said she and the actress "had a lot of fun filming [Halloween Ends] in Georgia together." She also added that it's "not lost" on her that they have a "very rare and unique relationship" after starring in three different Halloween movies together over the course of nearly 45 years, and she's thankful to have Jamie in her life. Jamie said she felt the same and before she made her exit, she revealed that Halloween Ends, which will feature her final face-off with Michael Myers, will be out on Oct. 14!

Once she left, Andy Cohen took a moment to say "how appalled" he is by "what's been happening on social media" with various cast members — and their children — receiving death threats. "You can love our cast, and you can love to hate our cast if you want, but only in the spirit of entertainment. It's a TV show, everybody — there's no room for this kind of hate. And Bravo unequivocally condemns it," he said, and the entire cast thanked him for making that statement. But more on that later.
First, Dorit was asked to revisit the trauma from her home invasion. Through tears, she said that there wasn't a single aspect of her life that wasn't touched by the incident — "I've had issues in my marriage, and I have a wonderful marriage. It [also] does something to your confidence as a mom. You feel depleted… it's hard to get out of bed some days. I mean, you're grieving the loss of who you were before it," she said before shooting down claims that the robbery was "orchestrated" for some sort of insurance claim. "I was very very lucky [to survive]," Dorit said, and unfortunately no one has been caught yet. "It's still an open investigation," she revealed, but before she could say anything more, Andy yawned, making it the second time he's appeared "bored" by her at a reunion. "Am I boring you? Are you kidding me? Again? Two years in a row?" she asked, as he profusely apologized. "I'm sorry!" he said. In the end, Dorit said she still has "really bad" days, but she's taking it one step at a time and navigating through her trauma as best as she can.
Kyle also revealed that the person who robbed her house recently reached out to her sister-in-law and offered to return some of the stolen items for money, which Kyle said they paid without involving the police. The ladies couldn't believe Kyle would pay that person any money, but she said she just wanted some of her stuff back.

Next, the attention turned to Crystal Kung Minkoff and her eating disorder. Crystal said she wanted to speak out about it because she wanted everyone to know that those who battle eating disorders all have a "different experience" with it. But it also led to some issues with the ladies — Erika Jayne sort of apologized for telling Crystal to throw up anything bad that she ate (she called herself a "smart ass" and said "it was the wrong thing to do"), and Dorit tried defending herself after Crystal told her it was "unacceptable" to tell the group that she vomits every day. It was information that Crystal told her in private, so when Dorit told the other ladies about it, "it felt very gossipy," Crystal tearfully admitted. Dorit explained why she felt like it was okay to tell the group what Crystal had told her, but she also said she was "truly sorry" for hurting her by doing so.

Then, Andy asked Crystal to explain why she implied Sutton made racist comments, when what Sutton actually said wasn't "offensive" to most of the people in the room. But Crystal said it wasn't anything "specific" that Sutton had said — instead, it was the "overall conversation" that made her "feel a certain way". It was the "tone of the conversation" that really irked Crystal, but a lot of the cast lashed out at her because earlier in the season she had aggressively implied that it was something specific that Sutton had said to her. And as we saw in unaired footage, it was seemingly part of a conversation in which Sutton said she loved seeing her daughter hanging out with "black girls", a "Chinese girl and probably a red-headed Irish Catholic girl" in their jacuzzi. Still, Crystal was adamant that it was the "tone" of the conversation that made her feel the way she felt, and not anything specific that Sutton had said.
"You're saying the complete opposite of what you said to us then," Kyle said to Crystal before previously aired footage showed Crystal saying that things Sutton "said" were really "dark".
"This is my experience," Crystal said, as the ladies started insinuating that she's a liar. "You called my experience lying," she added, but Garcelle Beauvais stopped her from saying anything more. "No — not your experience. What you said was, 'She said something dark.'"

"That's how I felt," Crystal replied, to which Garcelle said, "But it wasn't a feeling, the way you had said it."
"It felt like you wanted us to believe she said something racist," Kyle added. But Crystal said that's not what she wanted, and she said she could have mentioned it two years ago if that's what she wanted, but Erika called it a "cop out". Then, when Andy asked Crystal if she found Sutton's comment about her daughter being in the pool with her friends "offensive," Crystal said, "Yes. I found it to be a very offensive conversation, and you guys don't have to."
Sutton said things were "okay" and she was open to moving past it, but Lisa Rinna, Erika and Andy Cohen didn't feel the same way. Especially after Crystal clapped back at Andy after he said he spent three episodes wondering what Sutton said only to see it was something that wasn't truly "offensive". Crystal told him to take it as a "learning experience", but he said the "learning experience seems to be don't accuse someone of saying something specifically very dark on television" — unless you can "back it up," Erika added. In the end, Crystal said she "regretted" even bringing it up.
Then, the topic of Crystal losing 14 friends came up, and Crystal said that those friendship became fractured after she was on the show for a bit — that's when she said she noticed a difference with the women. But Kyle interjected and said "some of those women were asked to be on the show", and Crystal said, "Exactly," which only confused Kyle. To Kyle, that made it seem as though the issue started before Crystal got on the show, and Crystal agreed. So then Kyle was even more "confused" — "Didn't you just say that after I did the show, they got weird with me?"
"How is that confusing?" Crystal shouted at Kyle, who replied and said she "contradicted" herself. "I just clarified it — how is it confusing?" Crystal asked again. Kyle explained that she heard the issues started "before" Crystal joined the show, but she refused to elaborate any further. So the group then moved onto Diana Jenkins, who said she couldn't attend the reunion in person because she was sick. But Andy didn't hesitate to throw a little shade, when he told her that for being "very sick" she looked "pretty good".
Anyway, during her time on camera, Diana tried clearing up a few rumors. First, she said she never ran a madam service with her infamous book. Second, she said she has no connections to Jeffrey Epstein ("I never met that man", she said). Third, she said her constant lip-licking is the product of a "nervous tick", and she's "so sorry" about doing it. And finally, she said she was "mortified" about the incident with Philly Diva, who she blasted online without knowing what it truly meant to be a "black content creator".
But what Diana had a harder time getting past was her current feud with Garcelle. Andy pointed out that some viewers believe she's behind the bots that went after Garcelle's 14-year-old son Jax, and Garcelle said that at one point she also thought the same thing. Garcelle went on to reveal that Diana had sent her a "threatening" text. Apparently, Diana had asked Garcelle to block her name from a hateful comment Jax shared online. A bot had said something to Jax about having a "knee on [his] neck", and to "leave Diana alone" — Jax shared it publicly and said, "too far at this point." Diana said it made it seem as though she was behind the bots, so she texted Garcelle, asking her to remove her name from Jax's post. But Garcelle said that was the least of her concerns at the time. Kyle then tried defending Diana and explaining that she just wanted her name edited out of the comment, and Garcelle went nuts. "Are you f***ing kidding me?" she asked. "You want — in the middle of me trying to protect my child — I have to come and then save all of you?! This is outrageous!"
Diana explained that she was getting death threats and in her country, death threats become "actual threats", so she doesn't take them lightly, which is why she sent Garcelle a text, asking her to delete her name — and if she didn't, she'd pursue legal action against Garcelle "and no Bravo contract will stop me". She also tried saying that the threats she's been getting from fans are far harsher than anything Jax was receiving, which blew Garcelle's mind. "I'm not talking to her anymore," Garcelle said before telling Diana: "Leave me alone."

Q: Realm object changed, another copy of that object has changed too, why? I am stuck in a problem. Let's assume I have this Realm Model:
class Table: Object {
    dynamic var id = 0
    dynamic var x: Int = 0
    dynamic var y: Int = 0
    dynamic var width:Int = 0
    dynamic var height: Int = 0
    dynamic var text: String = ""
    dynamic var color: String = ""
    dynamic var type: String = ""

    let food = List<Food>()

    override static func primaryKey() -> String {
        return "id"
    }
}

class Food : Object {

    dynamic var id: Int = 0
    dynamic var name = ""
    dynamic var ingredients: String = "" // bigger text field
    dynamic var size: Int = 0 // none, small, medium, big size
    dynamic var price: Float = 0.0
    dynamic var category: Category?
    let additionalIngredients = List<Ingredient>()

    override static func primaryKey() -> String {
        return "id"
    }
}

Let's say I have one table and added 2 times the same food on that table like so :
try! realm.write(){
    table.food.append(food) // A
    table.food.append(food) // B
    realm.add(table, update: true)
}

If I change the additionalIngredients for food A , also at the same food B changes its values. I am doing that changes with this transaction :
try! realm.write(){
    table.food.first!.additionalIngredients.removeAll()
    for ingredient in ingredientsToAdd{
        table.food.first!.additionalIngredients.append(ingredient)
    }
    realm.add(table, update: true)
}

I guess I am doing something wrong regarding the reference/instance, can someone give me a hint?
Thanks in advance!

A: List.append() adds the object itself to the list and not a copy of the object, so you only have one Food object.

Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Data Science as Iterations of Business Automation for Small Businesses
by Pooja Sharma
Managing Partner- Business Automation, SKS Consulting & Advisors, India.
10.46679/isbn978819484834904
Artificial intelligence and machine learning, the two iterations of automation are based on the data, small or large. The larger the data, the more effective an AI or machine learning tool will be. The opposite holds the opposite iteration. With a larger pool of data, the large businesses and multinational corporations have effectively been building, developing and adopting refined AI and machine learning based decision systems. The contention of this chapter is to explore if the small businesses with small data in hands are well-off to use and adopt AI and machine learning based tools for their day to day business operations.

The new town will be established on an urban basis close to infrastructures and on land that is suitable for development and close to centers of employment, and will advance the Druze population economically and socially.
The National Planning and Building Council, approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's initiative to build a new Druze town, pursuant to the Cabinet's 18 November 2012 decision. The new community will be established within the Lower Galilee Regional Council, in the Ahuzat Naftali area near Tiberias.
"For the first time since the foundation of the state, we are building a new Druze town. I ascribe great importance to the establishment of a new Druze town that will advance the Druze sector. The Druze community has bound its fate to the State of Israel. The proportion of enlistment in the IDF is among the highest in the state and many Druze are in IDF combat units. This is only part of our extensive activity for the Druze community and we are carrying out our commitments to the community."
Building a new Druze town will facilitate the reduction of gaps between Druze towns and other towns in the State of Israel and is part of the Government's many initiatives to advance the Druze population.
The Druze towns are built on the slopes of hills and suffer from significant planning limitations due to their locations near nature reserves. The new town will be established on an urban basis close to infrastructures and on land that is suitable for development and close to centers of employment. It will, therefore, provide an appropriate and modern response and will advance the Druze population economically and socially.

UK private sector jobs growth continues – latest CBI survey confirms
Home Industry Insight Jenrick Group UK private sector jobs growth continues – latest CBI survey confirms
We've just received some more encouraging news regarding employment and the economy, reported in the latest CBI study which surveyed almost 500 companies within the UK: Only seven per cent of firms are operating a recruitment freeze, compared with 61 per cent during the depths of the recession in 2009. 47 per cent of employers are predicting their workforces will be larger in a year and 19 per cent predict they will be smaller, giving a balance of +28 per cent. This rises to +35 per cent in firms with fewer than 250 employees. The CBI survey shows that jobs are being created across the private sector, led by small and medium-sized companies. Dr Neil Bentley, CBI Deputy Director-General, said,
"It is encouraging that firms right across the UK are growing their workforces, especially smaller companies."

You've probably tried many psoriasis creams that haven't done a single thing for you. The search for the best psoriasis cream is something that many of us have struggled with.
Before we the creams that we think are the best, let's cover some basics.
Many psoriasis sufferers simply look for a quality moisturizing cream. This can work well and it's a lot easier to find a moisturizer than a specialty cream.
If you want to try out a moisturizing cream, look for a thick oily cream. These types of creams help to trap in the moisture and can minimize the effects of a flare-up. They're especially good at preventing the cracking and bleeding some of us experience.
The worst part of moisturizers is that they tend to be oily and can stain clothing and other things that you come in contact with. Some people get around this by bandaging the area. This works but it's not really the best option.
Salicylic acid can be found in a wide array of over the counter creams, gels, and soaps. Salicylic acid is an ingredient approved by the food and drug administration to treat psoriasis and it works by lifting scales and increasing peeling.
Causing peeling and lifting scales may seem counterproductive, but removing them actually helps other medications to penetrate the skin. It can also relieve any itching you may experience.
Salicylic acid best used in combination with other moisturizers and creams like coal tar.
Most doctors recommend that you don't use exceptionally strong salicylic acid mixtures and that you don't use it on more than 20% of your body because it can be absorbed into the body and cause side effects.
It can also cause UVB treatment to be less effective. If you are trying to treat your psoriasis with phototherapy, it's best not to use salicylic acid before your treatment.
Coal tar has been used to treat psoriasis for a long time and is also approved by the Food and Drug Administration. It's most commonly found in creams between .5 and 5% concentrations.
It's mainly used to limit the growth of skin cells and improve the appearance of the skin. It can also reduce the thickness of plaques, itching, and inflammation.
Coal tar creams come with some side effects that other treatments don't have. They can smell unpleasant, irritate skin and stain clothing.
They can also cause sensitivity to sunlight so be sure to cover up when outdoors and avoid long-term exposure to the sun.
There is a wide range of creams and ointments designed to help with itching. Most of these work well when used in conjunction with other over the counter creams that treat the other symptoms of psoriasis.
Calamine lotions, benzocaine gels, camphor lotions, menthol creams, lotions, and gels all work well to limit the amount of itching you have to deal with.
Aloe vera gels are also effective at reducing itching as well as drying and cracking.
If you're in the market for a cream to help minimize your psoriasis symptoms, and possibly even eliminate them, look no further than these three options!
If you've read our review of Revitol's psoriasis treatment, you know that I think it's the best cream out there. I've had some good luck with other creams as well, so I wanted to provide people with some other options as well.
Revitol's Cream has a 90-day return policy so there is no risk involved in trying it out.
Contains natural ingredients and dead sea minerals.
Very effective in treating psoriasis.
Makes a great cream for nighttime application.
No steroids, parabens or tar products.
Also effective on dermatitis, eczema and rashes.
Takes about 6 weeks to see best results.
Most expensive of the three creams.
Psoeasy Psoriasis Treatment Cream is designed to use the healing effects of the Dead Sea to treat skin conditions like psoriasis. People have soaked in the Dead Sea for thousands of years to gain the benefits of the healing effect of the minerals in it.

Since the Union issued 72-hour strike notice to Canada Post on Tuesday, October 16, 2018, there has been no response from Canada Post. Your negotiating committee is ready, willing and determined to get back to the bargaining table.
The National Executive Board has told Canada Post that we will start rotating strikes as of 00:01 Monday, October 22, 2018. The clock is ticking and yet there seems to be no urgency from Canada Post to resolve the issues that are necessary to get new collective agreements by Sunday night.
But Will Strike if Necessary!!

Once you've written a percussion part on a kit with isolated instruments, you'll be able to add different effects for each instrument. For example, thick reverb might not work when it's applied to an entire organic drum kit, but can bring out a compelling new character when it's only added to your snare for example. This is a crucial step you shouldn't skip.
Their now-classic debut, Music Has the Right to Children, contrasted starkly with the clinical, busy, and hyped sounds of 1990s techno. In retrospect, whole genres such as chillwave and lo-fi rap would sound vastly different without having been able to walk the trails laid down by Music Has the Right to Children and Boards of Canada's other releases.

Hunter Farris runs the Song Appeal podcast, which focuses on the psychology behind why we like the music we like. His podcast on music theory and music psychology has appealed broadly enough for Hunter to speak at Comic-Con 2018, and is instructive enough to be used as homework by a Music Theory professor. He currently teaches people to play piano by ear and make their own arrangements of other people's music.
"Wait, we're musicians, we don't write agendas." Ok, but that's a great way to ensure you don't get anything done. Being a good musician sometimes requires a little business sense, and I've found a clear agenda can really help.

Both of the new videos were made against countless odds: "In the 1970s" because of all the impossible ideas we wanted to make real, and "Felicity" because we had to find a place to shoot all 15 Baccis at the same time with essentially no budget. Thankfully due to my employment at Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn, I was able to get a day there to shoot, and Chris Shields, a filmmaker/writer/musician who I've admired for years, was completely instrumental in making that video work as well as it did, considering that we filmed it in six hours by the skin of our teeth. It was Chris' natural eye for dynamism and lighting that made it look so amazing, as well as the insane post-production he did which made it look like an old VHS copy of an Italian movie. My dream came true!
Pre- and post-choruses were a little less aggressive this year, even while variations on these chorus-abutting sections saw an increase. Interestingly, only "The Middle" dispensed with any intro material this year, and only Eminem's "Killshot" got into the Top 5 without any chorus or refrain material, but I mean, he did say right at the start of the song that he wasn't gonna repeat himself, so there you have it. (And yes, I said "chorus-abutting sections" back there, and yes, I had Morgan Freeman's voice in my head when I said it … "chorus-abutting sections.")

❯Blogroll ❯ World class 30-year-old goal machine dreams of joining Manchester United
World class 30-year-old goal machine dreams of joining Manchester United
21 Sep 2015 3 min read
Manchester United and Spanish giants Real Madrid could involve in another feisty transfer duel next summer, if views of La Liga expert Guillem Balague are to be taken seriously.
In his column for Spanish newspaper AS, Balague notes that to make a high profile transfer into reality, like in case of Ronaldo (first to Manchester United and then to Madrid), a lot of work goes on behind the scene. Fair enough.
A similar of sort of tension is developing at the moment with Ronaldo. According to reports, French champions PSG are keen to sign the Portuguese winger, and the Parisiens have even submitted a formal bid. However, Balague feels apart from PSG, Ronaldo has several options for consideration and returning to Manchester United is certainly one of them.
Cristiano Ronaldo: Has now scored 19 goals in his last 10 appearances for Real Madrid #UCL
— WhoScored.com (@WhoScored) September 15, 2015
The Portuguese was enjoying great success at United, but he felt moving to Real Madrid was necessary for his development, but ever since he left Old Trafford, he has always dreamt of returning to his old club. He has good memories at the club and holds a special bonding with the fans. But at the same time, he wants a new challenge in his life, probably a new country, a new league to explore, and therefore moving back to United is seemingly out of the equation.
All of Cristiano Ronaldo's goals in all competitions. [OPTA] pic.twitter.com/XJCs2zMmWs — Cristiano Ronaldo (@TeamCRonaldo) September 17, 2015
Ronaldo, 30, has three years remaining on his contract at the Bernabeu, but no one expects him to retire at the club. In fact, Madrid won't mind selling him now, if any potential suitor comes up with a huge money offer, may be in the region of €150m.
There is a growing feeling in the club that Ronaldo's influence in the team has waned, although he remains a terrific goal scorer (needs just one goal to become first player to cross 500 goals). Manchester City have the financial muscle to lure Ronaldo away Bernabeu, but given his bonding his Manchester United, it's hard to think he would join their rivals.
Ronaldo is going through an interesting phase in his career, where he is still good enough to score over 40-45 goals easily in a season, but unlike Messi, he is not the same player anymore, who can win you matches by the scruff of the neck.
Manchester United have the funds to bring him back at Old Trafford but will it be a good move? Probably not. Have your say below.

Bridging the Gap Between Different Types of Bridges
Anthony Chiofalo
Amongst all the various models of electric guitars, there are actually a surprisingly limited number of bridge types. Though bridges are an aspect of the guitar which is often overlooked, the type of bridge and how it fits on a particular guitar can make a real difference in how you play. The tone, variation in tuning stability, and tremolo potential, all create variety which is better suited to some and not as much to others.
The point of a bridge is fairly obvious – in one way or another, it keeps the strings in place on the body of the guitar. In its basic form, the bridge can be quite simple. If you think of an acoustic guitar for example, the bridge is merely a piece of wood with holes and pins to hold the strings down inside them. But on an electric guitar, it can get a bit more advanced.
It's first helpful to understand the individual aspects of an electric guitar bridge. Electric guitar bridges are metallic pieces which the guitar's strings run over. Most bridges have saddles on top of a bridge plate. The plate refers to the base of the bridge, while the saddles are individual, adjustable pieces on the top which usually correspond to each string. Thus, most bridges on six-string guitars have six saddles. However, original Telecaster bridges, for example, have three saddles—two strings go over each, and certain old-school bridges didn't have saddles at all (this was proven to not be very effective, which you can read more about later on).
In addition, some guitars use both a bridge and a tailpiece. The distinction in this schematic is that the strings run over the bridge which essentially guides them and the tailpiece secures the end of the strings.
Electric Guitar Bridge Types
If you want to properly classify electric guitar bridge types, you can first break them down into two major categories—hardtail and tremolo.
The hardtail bridge is one which is secured to the body and not capable of moving. The tremolo, by contrast, is designed to allow the player to move the bridge to some degree to create additional effects and dynamics in the guitar's sound. Some guitars have a hardtail bridge, but a tremolo tailpiece. The distinction is functionally minor, but can be important.
Many famous models from many popular brands feature both types of bridges, and the variations that come with them. To understand the value in each, read on.
Hardtail or Fixed Bridge
The fixed or hardtail bridge is the "basic" bridge. It's been used on electric guitars since the beginning of time…or at least the beginning of the electric guitar. The metallic bridge piece is screwed into the body so it does not move and guides the strings across the pickups. The stability of the fixed bridge allows for consistency in tone and tuning.
With a hardtail bridge, the strings can be secured by the bridge itself, strung over the bridge and through the body, or used in conjunction with a tailpiece. Regardless of the setup, most bridges allow you to adjust the individual saddle height for each string for increased intonation accuracy.
When coupled with a tailpiece, the tailpiece secures the end of the strings, while the bridge itself assures they are correctly positioned. With that setup, though the bridge is fixed, the tailpiece can be a tremolo.
Though the concept of a hardtail bridge is simple, it can be executed in a variety of ways.
Hardtail Bridge with String-Through Body
Perhaps the most basic bridge configuration is the hardtail with a string-through body. A hardtail bridge can act on its own to securely guide the strings down through the body of an electric guitar. Most bridges of this nature have individually adjustable saddles so you can modify the intonation as needed.
Most Fender Telecasters have this bridge configuration, usually with three barrel saddles and two strings running over each. Some Fender Stratocasters also have this bridge configuration, though with six saddles. While you don't have the option to make interesting vibrato and tremolo sounds by moving the bridge, you can rest assured this guitar will have excellent tuning stability and sustain.
Hardtail Top-Loaded Bridge
The hardtail top-loaded bridge acts in a similar fashion to the hardtail bridge with a string-through body. It also has a secured, non-tremolo, metallic bridge piece, but the strings are secured right to the bridge itself, not through the body. Some Fender Telecasters have this. There are also "Strat-style" guitars that make use of the top-loaded design, with six individual saddle pieces.
Wraparound Bridge
Sometimes found on Les Paul or Paul Reed Smith guitars, the wraparound makes use of a single metallic piece to hold the strings and provide the proper positioning. The strings are threaded through the front-bottom part of the bridge i.e. the part closest to the pickups, and then wrapped around the top of the bridge and back across the guitar neck. Early productions of this type of bridge did not have individual saddles so no adjustment could be made, but many have since fixed that.
Tune-O-Matic Bridge with String-Through or Stop Tailpiece
The Tune-O-Matic bridge is an oblong metallic piece which has individually adjustable saddles for each string. The Tune-O-Matic came about because the wraparound bridge, originally without individual saddles, did not allow for accurate intonation. With this configuration, the strings run over the Tune-O-Matic bridge and through the body or to a tailpiece, where they are secured. When found on Les Pauls, this type of bridge is mostly coupled with a stop bar tailpiece.
This bridge type and tailpiece combination is very common across brands and models. Many other guitars replicate the Tune-O-Matic with stop bar combo and some have mild variations. For instance, some guitars making use of this style of bridge may have a trapeze tailpiece—a long, wiry, trapeze-like metal piece which is attached to the end of the guitar body and pulls the strings over the bridge.
Evertune is both a company and a bridge type. The company has created an advanced hardtail bridge model which keeps your strings in tune for the life of the string, no matter what. While that seems like a lofty claim, the Evertune system requires custom routing and uses a radical design which many have attested really works. While it's only available as a hardtail at the moment, Evertune is developing a tremolo system as well.
Tremolo or Floating Bridge
The second major bridge type, the tremolo bridge, enables players to make use of the not-completely-secure bridge to create interesting sonic dynamics. Some of the most prodigious guitar players of all time used the tremolo bridge to make their sound their own and wow everyone listening.
The potential to move the bridge can bring with it some issues as far as maintaining tuning stability. Changes in the tension of one string will affect changes in the others to some degree and use of the tremolo itself may cause the strings to go out of tune. There's also a bit of a tonal change when you thread an additional piece of metal (the tremolo arm) into the bridge.
As you'll see below, some manufacturers have successfully addressed these challenges.
Synchronized Tremolo Bridge
We can all thank Fender for creating the earliest iteration of the synchronized tremolo bridge, beginning with production of their now legendary Stratocaster model. Fender's wildly popular synchronized tremolo bridge is a string-through with individual saddles. It's secured on top by six screws and pulled on the other end by springs within the body. This creates a tight tension which allows players to wiggle a tremolo arm screwed into the top and make a lovely vibrato sound.
Some later versions of Stratocasters feature a two-point "deluxe" style bridge. The concept was exactly the same, except the bridge was secured to the top of the guitar with just two large screws. Arguably, this gives the bridge a bit more wiggle and makes it easier to move it with just your hand.
Floyd Rose Locking Tremolo Bridge
The Floyd Rose tremolo system is such an iconic creation it turned one gentleman's name into a musical term-of-art. Attempting to solve the all-too-common issues associated with tremolos, Floyd Rose came up with this innovative design in 1976 and it has been appreciated by guitar players ever since.
The province of Floyd Rose tremolo systems are that they lock the strings both at the point of contact on the bridge and at the nut to prevent them from going out of tune. The screws on each individual bridge saddle are tightened to secure the strings. At the nut, each clamp secures two strings, assuring they won't move on that end. The Floyd Rose bridge also lets you adjust the tuning just slightly with the knobs on the saddles, so the small amount the Floyd Rose does go out of tune, you can correct it.
Tune-O-Matic Bridge with Tremolo Tailpiece
With a few guitars that use a Tune-O-Matic style bridge, you might also find a tremolo tailpiece. One of the more famous tailpieces, the Bigsby is an old-school tremolo, common on many Gretsch models. Similar to the trapeze, the Bigsby is secured to the end of the guitar and the strings are attached to it. However, the Bigsby makes use of a roller bar, which pulls the strings around it, and a built-on tremolo arm, to work its magic.
Another similar variation on this configuration can be seen on some Fender Jaguar, Jazzmasters, and Mustangs. The bridge on these models is a variety of Fender 6-saddle adjustable, anchored to a top-loaded tremolo. There's a hole to the right for a tremolo arm and this style of tremolo gives you just a little lift to improve your vibrato dynamics.
Stay Solid-ish
Clearly, bridges come in different varieties. While some may suit the guitar, they should always suit your playing. If you change tunings a lot or want to re-tune as little as possible, you'll want a hardtail bridge, or perhaps a Floyd Rose. If you're a generally subdued player or someone who just adds a little vibrato to a few notes, any trem style will work for you.
And if you're feeling bold, you can even swap out your existing bridge using one of the bridges we sell individually.

When it comes to logging in Swift and iOS applications in particular, the APIs that first come to mind might be print and NSLog. More recently, however, Apple has introduced a new standard for logging in the form of unified logging, accessed via OSLog. It is the current recommended way of logging, providing an efficient way to capture information across our applications.
Unified logging provides a number of improvements over previous techniques and also some differences to what we are used to.
Each message can be logged at an appropriate level, including: default, error, debug and info. They affect how messages are displayed to us and persisted.
Messages are grouped within subsystems and categories to enable efficient searching and filtering.
There is no need to wrap log statements in conditionals, due to the system being designed for performance and logs being rendered only when read.
User privacy is carefully respected, with dynamic string content needing to be explicitly marked as public, else they are redacted in any logs.
Using unified logging from Swift is as simple as using the os_log function, which we will quickly notice takes a StaticString as an argument rather than a regular String. The easiest way to log messages, is to place the String constant directly in the function call. Extracting the message to a property is possible, however, we will need to define it's type as StaticString.
let errorMessage: StaticString = "404 - NOT FOUND"
Due to the StaticString requirement, instead of using string interpolation we will need to use format arguments. This may feel jarring initially, however, it isn't too hard to adapt to and it provides benefits to user privacy that we will discuss a bit later on. We have access to all of the standard format arguments, as well as a number of extra value type decoders. The idea is that the logging system handles as much formatting for you as possible, to make the system even more efficient.
let responseCode = "404 - NOT FOUND"
let logMessage = "HTTP response: \(responseCode)"
Calls to os_log can specify an OSLog to use, containing a specific subsystem and category. This information is invaluable when filtering, searching and trying to understand our logs later. When the log argument isn't specified a default one is used, which has no subsystem or category configured.
The subsystem groups all the logs for a particular app or module, allowing us to filter for all of our own logs. From evaluating Apple's logs, the convention for subsystem is a reverse domain style, such as the Bundle Identifier of the app or framework itself. If the app is modularised into frameworks, it is a good idea to use the Bundle Identifier of the framework to split logs into their corresponding components.
Categories are used to group logs into related areas, to help us narrow down the scope of log messages. The convention for categories is to use human-readable names like UI or User. We could group logs into layers across multiple subsystems or features, such as Network or Contacts. Alternatively, we could group all the logs for a particular class, such as Contacts Repository. It would be perfectly acceptable to combine both approaches in the same project, we should simply use the most appropriate categories to allow us to understand the context of the project's log messages.
We can add our different categories and subsystems as an extension of OSLog, making them easily accessible across the app. Storing them in one place avoids creating OSLog instances all over the codebase and helps keep the different categories in use nicely organised.
private static var subsystem = Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier!
The unified logging system employs a set of different logging levels at which we can target different types of messages. The levels control how messages are displayed to us, how and when they are persisted and whether they are captured in different environments. How the system handles each level can even be customised through the command-line on our machine. It is a good idea to use the most appropriate logging level for each message, to get the most we can out of the logging system.
Default: To capture anything that might result in a failure and essentially a fall-back if no other level seems appropriate. Unless changed, messages are stored in memory buffers and persisted when they fill up.
Info: To capture anything that may be useful, but is not directly used to diagnose or troubleshoot errors. Unless changed, no persistence is used, messages are just stored in memory buffers and purged as they fill up.
Debug: To capture information during development to diagnose a particular issue, whilst actively debugging. They aren't captured unless enabled by a configuration change.
Error: To capture application errors and failures, in particular anything critical. Messages are always persisted, to ensure they are no lost.
Fault: To capture system-level or multi-process errors only, likely not of use in our app code. As with the error level, messages are always persisted.
Logging at each level is as simple as specifying the corresponding OSLogType as an argument to the os_log call.
To ensure private user data is not accidentally persisted to application logs, which may be shared with other people, the unified logging system has a public and private argument process. By default, only scalar (boolean, integer) values are collected and dynamic strings or complex dynamic objects are redacted. If it is necessary, dynamic string arguments may be declared public and scalar arguments could also be declared private.
It is important we resist making all arguments public, as it could easily result in private company or user data being exposed within device logs.
Whilst the debugger is attached, log messages will be shown in the Xcode console. The best way to read our logs, however, is with the Console MacOS application. Here we will be able to sort, filter and search our logs, as well as view them more easily.
Unified logging is a promising and powerful logging solution, especially when it comes to performance and filtering your log messages. Initially it might seem like it has quirks or differences to what you may be used to from NSLog and print. After looking a bit more and providing os_log with subsystems, categories and making good use of logging levels, you will find it makes working with logs significantly easier. If you want more log coverage with better performance, you can ditch NSLog and print statements and start integrating os_log into your apps.
There is much more to OSLog than we have explored here, such as signposts to monitor app performance and so it is likely we come back to this topic in another article in the future.
Have you started using OSLog, if so what do you think of it? If you aren't going to use it, what are your reasons for making that decision? If you have any suggestions for other developers trying to use OSLog I would love to hear about them. Please feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @lordcodes with any questions or thoughts you have, or about anything else.

WHO KNEW Presents an Evening with Music Supervisors
WHO KNEW, sponsored by MusicRowSearch and the College of Media and Entertainment at Middle Tennessee State University, will present "The Pitch: An Evening With Music Supervisors" on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at City Winery. The event will mirror last year's successful Pitch event that featured music supervisors representing television, film, trailers, video games and advertising, listening to live bands perform their material in hopes that a song may be selected for a synch placement right on the spot.
Steve Schnur (Global Head of Music at Electronic Arts), Anastasia Brown (veteran TV producer and music supervisor) and Dawn Soler (SVP of Music at ABC Television) will moderate a panel of senior-level music supervisors, who will also share stories and tips about the types of music they are seeking to place in television, film, trailers, video games and branded advertising.
"Last year when we put on this event, we had an artist (Sonia Leigh) perform and her song received two synchs as a result," said Tom Truitt, WHO KNEW creator and CEO of MusicRowSearch. The song was placed in the Sims video game franchise as well as a TV episode of Nashville. The topper was Sonia also landed an acting role in the TV show. "That's a career-defining moment for an indie artist and we intend to help other artists do similar things with this year's event," Truitt added.
The panel of supervisors, which includes big names in the industry, has been curated to address the five most important verticals for music synchronization or "synch" rights:

Preparedness Committee meets ahead of cyclone season
Govt. Fiji
Просмотреть оригинал
The Preparedness Committee held its first meeting yesterday to discuss the preparedness status of all emergency operation centers in the lead up to the 2021-2022 Cyclone Season.
Minister for Rural and Maritime Development and Disaster Management Hon. Inia Seruiratu addressed the meeting which was chaired by Permanent Secretary for RMDDM Mr. David Kolitagane.
In laying out his expectations to the Committee members, Minister Seruiratu reminded all Permanent Secretaries and heads of various Government agencies of the need to ensure that their respective Ministries and offices were prepared and ready for the looming cyclone season.
"I know that we are so used to crises as a result of disasters, but I think this pandemic has brought a lot of lessons. I'll be having some serious discussions with the Minister for Health about what we can do post this pandemic to prepare us for the upcoming cyclone season, most importantly in the aspect of crisis management," Minister Seruiratu said.
"An all hazards crisis management approach, rather than just focusing on the ones we are too familiar with is critical because of the unpredictability of the future and the trends that are happening. As you are aware, climate change is a big challenge as well for us and this will bring with it other forms of crisis, but we need to prepare better."
Minister Seruiratu reminded the Committee that in order to minimise the damages and losses, there was a need to focus on prevention and preparedness.
"This is why I'm urging all of you to communicate outside these meetings and focus on preventive measures that can be put in place now and also ensure the preparedness of the various agencies, the Government and non-government machinery and our communities. This will be the focus of the National Disaster Awareness Week (NDAW)."
Minister Seruiratu said the Ministry had already conducted its operation readiness check and had also started repositioning stores and key assets to the four divisional warehouses.
He also said the Committee had a crucial role in the implementation of the National Disaster Risk Reduction Policy (NDRRP). He reiterated that the Policy was a critical document and as Committee members, they must take ownership of it.
The Minister also acknowledged the commitment shown by all frontliners involved in COVID-19 operations for the past five months.

Vordingborg, city, southern Zealand (Sjælland), Denmark, on Masned Sound. Founded in the 12th century around its castle, which was built by Valdemar I as a defense against the Wends, the town of Vordingborg became a favourite meeting place of the Danehof (national assembly), at one of whose meetings the oldest national statute was published (1241). The city was chartered in 1415. In the 14th century Valdemar IV built the curious "Goose Tower," crowned with a golden (now copper) goose weathercock, on the grounds of his castle, which are now a botanic garden. Vordingborg's industries include meatpacking and brick and cement manufacturing. The 18th-century manor farm of Rosenfeldt is nearby. A 2-mile (3.2-km) bridge connects Vordingborg with the island of Falster. Pop. (2008 est.) city, 9,131; (2005 est.) mun., 46,307.

Runinskrift U 937 står idag med en rad andra uppländska runstenar i Universitetsparken i Uppsala. Ursprungligen kommer runstenen dock från Funbo socken. Runslingan har formen av en runorm där inskriften börjar vid svansen och slutar vid huvudet av rundjuret. Ornamentet mitt på ristningsytan är en så kallad trikvetra, tolkad som en treenighetssymbol.

Runstenen U 991, som idag återfinns i Broby, har ordagrant samma inskrift och en snarlik ornamentik med U 937, vilket tyder på att de är skapade av samme runristare. Sannolikt har även U 937 ursprungligen stått vid runstensbron som korsar Lillån i Broby.

Historia
Runstenen U 937 ristades på 1000-talet. Den hittades 1875 mellan S:t Persgatan och Klostergatan i väggen till ett fransciskankloster.

Formuleringen "reste stenarna" visar att U937 ingått i ett runstensmonument bestående av flera stenar. Att monumentet funnits i Funbo socken vet man, eftersom runstenen U 991 med liktydande text och liknande ornamentik står kvar där. I Funbo står även U 990, som bröderna Väder, Tägn och Gunnar lät resa till minne av sin far Hörse. U 999, också i Funbo, är rest av fadern Hörse och hans bror Kättil till minne av deras far Tägn.
