I Want To Compose Music For The Script, Not Visuals: Sam CS
BY Janani Karthik On August 14, 2017
The extraordinary background score of Vikram Vedha, which lingered in our ears long after we left the theatre, was composed by music director Sam CS by just reading the film's bound script. "If somebody gives you a blank sheet and asks you to write, you could write in a straight line, from top to bottom or vice-versa – there is no stopping your creativity. But, when someone gives you a ruled sheet, you will have to write in a particular order. I believe you will be at your creative best while composing the background score for a script; you visualise the scene in your mind," says Sam.
He has many innovative strategies when it comes to music, evident in the fresh score of Vikram Vedha. The scene just before the interval where Vijay Sethupathi and Madhavan clash on a rainy day was technically a mass scene. But, Sam's BGM addressed the emotion. "I didn't compose music for the fight. I composed for, 'Why are they fighting?' I felt it was an emotional scene because Madhavan was in pain following his friend's demise. The film is an emotional thriller, and every scene has an overriding emotion; I composed music for those emotions." This is why even the introduction scene of Vijay Sethupathi had an emotional score, as he was at the station to track down his brother's murderer. "It was not just another mass introduction scene," he says.
VV is not his Sam's first film, but, may be, his first breakthrough. He's also composed for Or Iravu, Ambuli, Puriyadha Pudhir and Kadalai. "Creating a tune excites me. I don't see this as business; being a composer is my passion. Only that passion drove me till VV happened," says this former IT professional. Excerpts from an interview.
How did you land Vikram Vedha?
I had composed for some TV commercials directed by Pushkar-Gayathri. Once, when they came by my studio, I was working on Puriyadha Pudhir (directed by Ranjith, earlier titled Mellisai). They listened to the background score, liked my work and roped me in. Even while working in IT, I used to do keyboard programming for a lot films. I did the background scores for Or Iravu and Ambuli in 2006. From then, till when I landed VV, I kept at it. The film industry is about getting the right opportunity at the right time; I managed to get it.
Were the background scores of Puriyadha Pudhir and Vikram Vedha composed with a live orchestra?
Yes, both Puriyadha Puthir's and Vikram Vedha's scores were performed by a live orchestra, and I will continue working that way. Many of Ilaiyaraaja sir's background scores are evergreen because he composed those tunes for a live orchestra. Even now, that is how he works. Live orchestration lends life to a musical score. There is a difference between a mother's soulful lullaby and a recorded one that is played to a child.
Iravu, Ambuli, Puriyadha Pudhir, Vikram Vedha... all of them are thrillers. Do you have any inclination towards this genre?
Well, a music director gets a lot of scope in a thriller. Vikram Vedha has a brilliant story, extraordinary screenplay and splendid performances. In the midst of all these, if critics also appreciated the music, then a thriller is the right genre for music directors to explore and experiment with. Even in VV, I had composed many romantic a romantic BGM for the love scenes , but the ones for the thrilling scenes won most applause. So, I like to work on thrillers as they provide tremendous scope for a music director.
The background score in the Puriyadha Pudhir trailer is intriguing…
Puriyadha Pudhir is my first full-fledged film. It is very close to my heart because it has an extraordinary script. In some films, a person or incident will be used to hint at a forthcoming scene or remind the audience about an earlier one. Here, music moves the screenplay. A theme music will help the audience recall instances. The film is set to hit screens on September 1. When its release kept getting delayed, I was not discouraged as I had confidence in it. Ranjith's narration is brilliant and I was sure that even if it were to release years later, the story would still be fresh.
How do you create a song? Do you travel to seek inspiration or compose within the four walls of a studio?
I don't believe in heading to different locations to compose tunes. Soulful tunes are born from within. For instance, the soothing lullabies sung by women in the villages were not composed in foreign locales. When I think about a situation, a tune takes shape in my mind; I sing out the tune, record it and then work to lend it shape.
Do you plan to experiment with something new in your upcoming films?
Here, there exists a standard template for music direction. To prevent the audience from getting bored, there's a kuthu song; a motivational song when the hero chases his dream; a melody-rich love song, a pathos number for betrayal… I want to re-work these templates. I believe that a snatch of music can be the equivalent of, say, 10 dialogues. Music shouldn't be used as a filler, but has to be the lifeline of a film. Tamil cinema has to give space for sound effects and sound designers to innovate and enhance the quality of a film. You can no long seek refuge saying your music has an international feel – Hollywood films are dubbed and telecast on television, so the audience is exposed to all genres of music. .
So, what kind of music we can expect from you?
I am not here to take up 20 films a year. I wish to work on a limited number of good films. By good films, I mean good scripts and films that offer scope for music, not big banners or big stars. I want to invest time on my projects. In both Puriyadha Pudhir and VV, I carried out improvisations even at the last minute. This is only possible if you invest time into a project. I don't want to be part of projects where music is just a filler. In my opinion, composing a song is easy – we have a standard eight situations for which you need to compose. The real challenge lies in coming up with a background score that complements the script.
Puriyadha Pudhir, starring Vijay Sethupathi and Gayathri, directed by Ranjith, is scheduled to release this September 1.

Арнобій Афр (? — 330 р. н. е.) — християнський латинський письменник часів імператора Діоклетіана.

Життєпис
Народився у м. Сікка (сучасний Ель—Кеф, Туніс) у провінції Нумідія. Замолоду був ритором й запеклим ворогом християн, проте у 300 році привернувся до цієї віри. Втім єпископ Сікки не повірив у щирі наміри Арнобія. Тому для підтвердження своєї віри та прихильності до християнства Арнобій у 303 році написав працю «Про поган» у 7 книгах. У ній автор спростовує звинувачення поган проти християнства, втім водночас додає до християнства платонічні та гностичні ідеї. Цінність книги Арнобія полягає в тому, що вона містить багато фактичного матеріалу для вивчення християнської церкви часів її початку. Після цього брав активну участь у діяльності християнської церкви Африки, був вчителем Лактанція.

Ймовірно, один з його нащадків був Арнобій Молодший, також християнський письменник, полеміст. За іншою версією вони лише тезки.

Rating agency AM Best has affirmed the ratings of Eni Insurance, the captive insurer of Italian gas and oil company Eni.
Eni Insurance's financial strength rating was affirmed as A (Excellent) and its long-term issuer credit rating was affirmed as 'a'.
The rating agency said the affirmation reflected Eni Insurance's track-record of strong underwriting profitability and excellent risk-adjusted capitalisation.
The ratings also consider the captive's importance to the Eni Group as a risk management tool.
"These positive rating factors are partially offset by Eni Insurance's exposure to peripheral European sovereign bonds. In addition, Eni Insurance has exposure to potentially substantial underwriting losses due to its large gross maximum line size," said the rating agency.
It added that the captive's risk-adjusted capitalisation is expected to remain excellent.
The rating agency explained that the company's prospective performance is subject to volatility due to potential large losses from its property account and unrealised gains/losses from its peripheral European sovereign bond portfolio.
"However, underwriting volatility should be moderated by the captive's comprehensive reinsurance programme which remains broadly unchanged from the previous year," added AM Best.

Warning: In 9/11-05 the most powerful posting so far, abt true Islamic fascism, will appear here!
In the meantime see postings below and read: True sexism/racism in Islamic original sources as well as in ethnic reality of today!
A glimpse of an awkward tendency in the US: Tip of the black Islamic "brotherhood" (sic - where are the sisters?) racism/sexism iceberg? (Also compare Klevius' notion on Hip Hop vulgo "rapetivism").
Also read abt Islamic crypto-creationism and how an Indonesian "scientist" stole and damaged recently discovered Homo floresiensis
Klevius comment: It's a tragic irony that many black Americans now support that very same Islam that was enforced upon them before their Arabic/Islamic masters traded them overseas. The Arabic word for black and slave is actually the same, i.e. "Abed".
The ideology of Islam, not the people, is the problem, just as it was with fascism in the World War 2.
Muslims, married to a failed past, offer little hope for integration into modern society Klevius correction: By abandoning their ties to evil sexist and racist Islam every possibility for integration, cooperation, (or whatever appropriate naming you might prefer), is open to them exactly as it is for non-Muslims!
"Standing on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, on the afternoon of September 11, 2001 the residents of the neighborhood danced in the streets, laughing, shouting to each other, shaking hands. These people were not what one would suppose to be fanatical or militant Muslims. They were people who had come to these shores from the Middle East, mostly shop keepers, bakers, purveyors of eastern spices, tradesmen, cab drivers and the usual diversity of people found in a New York"
The "holy" Koran states:
Kill the disbelievers wherever we find them. (2:191)
Fight and slay the pagans (translation: that's us) seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem. (9:5)
Slay or crucify or cut the hands and feet of the unbelievers...(5:34)
...strike off the heads of the disbelievers...[make a] wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives [for ransom] (947:4)
[treatment of disbelievers]...garments of fire shall be cut and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby whatever is in their bowels and skin shall be dissolved and they will be punished with hooked iron rods (22:19).
The Koran also instructs Muslims to slay or crucify or cut the hands and the feet of the unbelievers (5:34), fight unbelievers until no other religion except Islam remains. (3:85)
Klevius comment: But the real Achilles' heal of Islam (apart from its totalitarian/fascist "infidel" message) is its inevitable sex segregation. Unfortunately many in the West still seem to live in a "fin de siècle" sex segregation hysteria (see From Freud to bin Laden), hence naively applauding Sharia and other Islamic stupidities (see From Klevius' without love), while the victims, in Sudan/Darfur and elsewhere, suffer!
And always remember the difference between true racist/sexist Pan-Arabic Islam/fascism on one hand, and ethnicity that has been (most often forcefully) labeled "Muslim", on the other. Be proud of your ethnicity - not of Islam!
The real political heroine Ayan Hirsi Ali: "We Must Declare War on Islamist Propaganda"
When Ayan Hirsi Ali was about to visit Stockholm recently, Swedish official state (Islamist?) radio eagerly reported the name of her hotel and how the polices were positioned! But I haven't heard anything since abt what she said when she arrived!? Suddenly no media interest in Sweden at all... As many times before noted on this blog Swedish state media continue their horryfying tradition exactly as during the fascist era of the 1930s and WW2.
Turkish news stands: "May Allah Protect Bin Laden from the Evil of His Enemies"
US racial segregation persecuted and detained 120.000 innocent Shinto-Japanese while now welcoming, and even boosting Islam!?
You may also note that according to Ratzinger (now Pope) 1997, Islam features "a very marked subordination of woman to man". Klevius: Does the Pope mean Islam should be castrated?
Oil-fueled (by Pan-Arabic oil-billionaires) racist/sexist totalitarian and fascist Islamo-black Hip Hop culture (also see Shinto high tech vs Hip Hop vulgo) isn't perhaps that cool after all if you know anything about its background! And how much do these fascists harm other blacks and their inter-race/sex relations? Black US Islamists! Why do you try to steal the colors of your non-Muslim brothers and sisters?! For a deeply informed and focused (albeit extremely brief - you have to look up the details for yourself, but avoid the biased "answers" from the (pbuh)-people!) background on the evil roots and fascist (i.e. denial of equality to "infidels") heritage of Pan-Arabic Islam (incl. today's so called "moderate"/"liberal" Islam), see previous posting below! Not only Muslim Brotherhood, Galloway's Respect/Socialist Workers Party and Hitler's Socialist Workers Party all have the same political, leftist and totalitarian/fascist roots in common! Islam in every form (via Koran) belongs to this unfortunate, but for detached and asocial individuals (and cold-hearted politicians), apparently so appealing evil tradition. So let's look at the history from another, Shinto angle of view! Islam has always been technologically impotent, an economic eunuck, but eager to reproduce, even through pure rapetivism. This has never been economically beneficial for Islamic states without natural resources that non-Muslim "Infidels" can dig up for them. So why not now establish a Nation of Shinto. Although I'm not a Japanese I could be its first member – you don't have to be an Arab to join Nation of Islam, do you?!
Persecution of Shintoists in US
"...the Japanese American Experience outlines the largest violation of individual's rights by the United States government of the 20th century. It details the World War II experiences of 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry who were forced to leave their homes and businesses on the West Coast and Hawaii, and live in desolate camps located in seven states west of the Mississippi River. Japanese American community leaders were taken into custody without charge and without trial; some were even held on Ellis Island. Ultimately, the FBI concluded that there were no acts of sabotage or disloyalty by Japanese Americans."
Why do we talk so much about, and encourage fascist/racist/sexist Islam (we don't use to encourage Satanism although it's also popular among weird youth etc) and so little about Shinto (perhaps one of the oldest religions ever, probably rooted beyond the Jomon culture some 13.000 years ago - see Definition of religion and Out of Africa as "Pygmies" and back as global "Mongoloids")?
And why do we talk so much about "Negroids/blacks" and so little about "Mongoloids"?
Racial discrimination against Japanese before Pearl Harbour
"Like the Chinese, the Japanese had been welcomed at first as a source of cheap labor, but shortly thereafter, became targets of anti-Asian campaigns, maligned as the "yellow peril." They inherited much of the new prejudice directed previously against the Chinese, especially as the Japanese moved from itinerant farm laborers to become owners of farms and small businesses. Discriminatory laws passed during the early l900s denied the Japanese the right to become citizens, to own land, and to marry outside of their race. In addition, they could not buy homes in certain areas and were barred from jobs in certain industries. Some could only send their children to segregated schools, and in 1924, immigration from Japan was halted altogether."
The Japanese were registered and given numbered tags. Many who were given as little as 48 hours notice to sell their possessions and to dispose of their property. Losses incurred during this time were estimated in the billions of dollars.
Klevius comment: Hawai became the first US state without an ethnic majority. The Japanese constitute the largest group and the racial tensions are almost extinct. But what about e.g. the racist African town project in Detroit, or consider a sexist/racist/totalitarian Arab/Islamic Sharia state in the US?!
Youth's involvement in racial tension, sexism, and totalitarian Islam is, of course, a by-product of detached relations to their families (see Angels of Antichrist - social state vs kinship). It has almost become a (false) rule that teenagers should abandon their families and let their peers foster them. This development has been enforced by the modern "social state" populated mainly with women (see What is sex segregation?) who now "take care" (without real relations) of other people's children/youth.
I really want to deal with the world and its people without getting disturbed by racism and sexism in any form. Don't blame me for my skin color or my lack of tits, or my possession of a penis etc! I have Japanese and black friends but I have only encountered racial hostility from blacks*. That's very sad because I'd really love to approach blacks as Japanese, or whatever other people for that matter. And I don't have a need to feel more "valued" than others. Just equal! And I have no problem with musicians who are better than I, writers who are better than I, sporting performers who are better than I, better looking people, or anthropologists who are better than - well, I'm working hard on that one...

Black racism

* Once when I visited a bank in San Francisco I was kind and polite towards the black lady behind the desk (some people may tell you they think I'm pretty social) in a way that could have made any black person in Europe smiling and positive. But not in the otherwise friendly San Francisco. Although my errand there took abt an hour she hardly even smiled but instead repeatedly warned me not to accidentally touch an item that was placed so close to where I had to sit that it was almost inevitable. The tension from her side (even before any touch) was best described as forced (almost) correctness. A couple of month later I was placing my Safeway card on the desk in front of the cashier after having placed my groceries there. The female, elderly black cashier was very hostile and blunt when she ordered me to pick it up and place it in her hand! I had never seen her before and I had never been treated in that way before in SF. Do I have to mention that I didn't behave in any way unpolitely before? Quite the contrary, and I certainly didn't expect her reaction. In fact her behavior made me connect to the clerk and other observations, which I now seem to share with many others. She certainly didn't know I was a temporary visitor. At another time I was waiting for the Muni and noticed the hostile look of some black teenage girls when they checked out some white girls I knew weren't known by them before. But I also encountered friendly blacks, mainly elderly males or young blacks, mainly from outside the US! One of the nicest, a young female student, I encountered on a bus trip. We had a long and nice conversation and I had almost forgotten the clerk in the bank, so I asked her how long she had lived in SF. She was from Africa on a temporary visit! Another friendly black, elderly male entered Muni, perhaps slightly affected by some liquid substance. He looked around, smiling, and asked: "Is there any seat for the mentally impaired?" I was occupying a side seat with a baby in my lap so I said: "Thanks, but I already got one!" He looked at me and my baby for a while, then smiled even more and gave us a hug! Of course he wasn't the only black from SF to be kind against me, though. But it felt a little bit weird to pay special attention when black people happened to be kind.
Friends in California have told me about growing black racism, sometimes open but mostly more subtle. Black officials and police officers who e.g. uses "bureaucratic" harrassment against non-blacks (and what abt Oakland polices shooting two Koreans, and other similar cases?!), unflexible and rigid black bus- and Muni drivers etc. I've also noticed that black gang youth in SF seem to have to express a more loud and intruding profile than those from Asian, Latino or other backgrounds. I remember a car full of screaming black young males, outside the Jesuit church, equipped with a boosted car stereo on full volume. I especially noticed the even louder refrain in the "tune": FUCK, FUCK, FUCK! (also see Rapetivism from Freud to bin Laden) and San Francisco gang rape culture.
The double tragedy of Cindy Sheehan - is she now serving the evil ideology that killed her son?!
But there is one person who has never had any doubt that Bush is right, and therefore has moved heaven and earth to try to prevent democracy from getting an Iraqi foothold: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the head of al Qaeda in Iraq!
Klevius' sum up and suggestion: The more resistance against Bush, the worse for the girls/women suffering under Islam and the more support for Islamic evilness rooted in Medieval Mideast tribal robbery and fight for power. Japan, on the other hand, is the only surviving tribal society that is also high tech (Japanese art, litterature and music have been copied by Europeans and others from their first encounters) and extremely wealthy as a result of, not natural resources, but their own historical skills. Why not now balance evil contraproductive Islam with a Shinto Sisterhood or maybe Nation of Shinto (i.e. ancestor warship - compare the Vagina gate in the atom of kinship - spiced with a renewal of what de-sex segregated pre-Samuraj Shinto in many ways possessed, compare e.g. all the empresses before 600 A.D.) with exactly as big a mouth as Muslim Brotherhood, Nation of Islam and other senseless al-Qaeda supporters?
And remember, Japan's militaristic expansion was a direct result of Europe's and US' pressure to open up Japan for Western traders in the late 19th century! And the Shinto camel (Lexus) is now the world's best quality product!

Headbanger's Brawl: Spectrum Getting Demolished Really Slowly Edition
Posted by Metal Insider on November 24, 2010
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EohkQb6aE_s&feature=player_embedded[/youtube]
Headbangers' Brawl is a weekly column where Metal Insider's Bram and Zach take a moment to debate and analyze two opposing sides of a topical issue occurring in the world of metal and/or the music industry.
For anyone that grew up in the Philadelphia area, The Spectrum was a part of their lives. Home to the Sixers and Flyers and countless concerts, there were thousands of shows there from when it opened in 1967 until last year, when Pearl Jam played the last concert there. Demolition was started on the venue yesterday, and from the looks of the clip above, won't be completed for a few more years (love the fans booing – so Philly!). Since Bram and Zach both hail from South Jersey/Philly, instead of brawling, they'll talk about some of the most memorable shows they've seen there.
Bram: The Spectrum. Wow. I've seen countless shows there over the course of its existence: Iron Maiden, Van Halen (well, Van Hagar), Pantera, Rage Against the Machine, Metallica, Judas Priest, and that's just to name a few. I guess one of the most memorable shows I saw there was the first arena metal show I ever saw as a kid: Ratt with Bon Jovi opening. And this isn't necessarily a show memory, but I'm actually in a video! I was there for the taping of Whitesnake's "Now You're Gone," which was done during the day before their show. Also, the video for AC/DC's "Money Talks" (which I'm not in) was also shot there. How about you Zach? What are your favorite memories?
Zach: I to have seen my fair share of shows at the Spectrum. However, stands outs for me include seeing Motley Crue during their Carnival Of Sins reunion tour and (what still is one of my favorite concerts of all time) System Of A Down, both in 2005. But in addition to seeing a lot of great concerts, the crap load of Phantom hockey games and WWE/WCW wrestling shows are also personal highlights from the Spectrum for me.
Sure, the sound wasn't spectacular at the Spectrum, and you could easily find yourself in the crappiest of seats. But the Spectrum is the only venue I can say I saw both Ozzy Osbourne with opener Rob Zombie and Tina Turner play at within the same year (that's right, I saw Tina Turner with my parents for my mom's birthday. Can you say "best son ever?!").
B: Tina Turner? Come on. Then again, I guess the closest I've ever had to a gay experience was when I wound up backstage there at a meet and greet for an R.E.M. show. Michael Stipe told me that Bram was a "really cool name" while staring at me intently. But I have tons of good memories, too. I also saw Ozzy there, and actually met him as well (having a job in the music industry has its perks, Michael Stipe notwithstanding). From seeing Dr. J play there with the Sixers in the '83 playoffs to standing onstage next to Ice Cube watching Korn play on the Family Values tour, a lot of my childhood and teenage memories took place at the Spectrum. At the end of the day, it's just an outdated venue to most, but I'll miss the hell out of it, and I can't think of a better sendoff than Philly sports fans booing the pathetic-looking wrecking ball.
Z: Ha, well not many people can say they got hit on by Michael Stipe, let alone at the Spectrum. If I may say, you should've taken up on the opportunity and become the ultimate alt rock gold digger. And go ahead, crap on me for seeing Tina Turner (a legend, mind you), but I'd be lying if I said it was a great show. The only bizarre thing from the night was seeing Turner dressed up as her character from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome while singing "We Don't Need Another Hero." I know what you're saying, "really Zach? That was the only bizarre thing?"
But very true Bram, this was a great send off for the Spectrum. It's only fitting that the same fans who pelted Santa with snow balls boo the pathetic wrecking job. I may originally be from South Jersey (which might as well be merged with Philadelphia), but I'll always have Philly pride. And part of the reason for this is because of the great memories I have from the Spectrum.
Click the jump for a slightly more badass version of the demolition.

Been mooted to have a DCS Spitfire training day/evening but before I can commit to some time to do this I need your input on when the best time to hold this would be.
Also will need to know which versions you can operate within (v1.5.7 or v2.1Alpha).
I'd happily join in with this matey, although I don't seem to be able to update to 1.5.7, is that because it's beta?
Chris - 1.5.7 only went from Beta to Release version yesterday, so as of time of writing the OP it is current release version and should be at time of planned training.
Dodging commitments - now that may take some doing!
Very interested in joining the training secession when able time permits.
Ok chaps, committing to Wednesday the 30th August for this. I have a days annual leave so will be available most of the day for consultation.
Will be hosting a 1.5.7 server and have plenty of hot start spitties available for those who need them!
Thanks Tom, will put that date on the calendar, just hoping we got some sort of internet by then.
Is the time your thinking same as Tues-Sunday il2 46 and Thurs clod usual start times. 12:00 Noon Canada time.
Affirmative Dennis, evening our time, early afternoon yours. I have the whole afternoon as an option for Euro time zone types - or your morning - if required.
Very useful, and fun to boot!
Good show everyone, thanks for attending and bloody good job for making the progress you have - I know some you may feel that your takeoffs and landings are perhaps still a bit untidy but I came away from today confident you do have a firm grasp of the essentials and the rest will be a matter of finesse. That will come with practise, so keep getting in that glorious old girl and giving her a good workout!

Heart and Science A Story of the Present Time By: Wilkie Collins (1824-1889)
HEART AND SCIENCE
A Story of the Present Time
By Wilkie Collins
SARONY
(OF NEW YORK)
ARTIST; PHOTOGRAPHER,
I. PREFACE TO READERS IN GENERAL
You are the children of Old Mother England, on both sides of the Atlantic; you form the majority of buyers and borrowers of novels; and you judge of works of fiction by certain inbred preferences, which but slightly influence the other great public of readers on the continent of Europe.
The two qualities in fiction which hold the highest rank in your estimation are: Character and Humour. Incident and dramatic situation only occupy the second place in your favour. A novel that tells no story, or that blunders perpetually in trying to tell a story a novel so entirely devoid of all sense of the dramatic side of human life, that not even a theatrical thief can find anything in it to steal will nevertheless be a work that wins (and keeps) your admiration, if it has Humour which dwells on your memory, and characters which enlarge the circle of your friends.
I have myself always tried to combine the different merits of a good novel, in one and the same work; and I have never succeeded in keeping an equal balance. In the present story you will find the scales inclining, on the whole, in favour of character and Humour. This has not happened accidentally.
Advancing years, and health that stands sadly in need of improvement, warn me if I am to vary my way of work that I may have little time to lose. Without waiting for future opportunities, I have kept your standard of merit more constantly before my mind, in writing this book, than on some former occasions.
Still persisting in telling you a story still refusing to get up in the pulpit and preach, or to invade the platform and lecture, or to take you by the buttonhole in confidence and make fun of my Art it has been my chief effort to draw the characters with a vigour and breadth of treatment, derived from the nearest and truest view that I could get of the one model, Nature. Whether I shall at once succeed in adding to the circle of your friends in the world of fiction or whether you will hurry through the narrative, and only discover on a later reading that it is the characters which have interested you in the story remains to be seen. Either way, your sympathy will find me grateful; for, either way, my motive has been to please you.
During its periodical publication correspondents, noting certain passages in "Heart and Science," inquired how I came to think of writing this book. The question may be readily answered in better words than mine. My book has been written in harmony with opinions which have an indisputable claim to respect. Let them speak for themselves.
SHAKESPEARE'S OPINION. "It was always yet the trick of our English nation, if they have a good thing, to make it too common." (King Henry IV., Part II.)
WALTER SCOTT'S OPINION "I am no great believer in the extreme degree of improvement to be derived from the advancement of Science; for every study of that nature tends, when pushed to a certain extent, to harden the heart." (Letter to Miss Edgeworth.)
FARADAY'S OPINION. "The education of the judgment has for its first and its last step Humility." (Lecture on Mental Education, at the Royal Institution.)
Having given my reasons for writing the book, let me conclude by telling you what I have kept out of the book.
It encourages me to think that we have many sympathies in common; and among them, that most of us have taken to our hearts domestic pets. Writing under this conviction, I have not forgotten my responsibility towards you, and towards my Art, in pleading the cause of the harmless and affectionate beings of God's creation. From first to last, you are purposely left in ignorance of the hideous secrets of Vivisection. The outside of the laboratory is a necessary object in my landscape but I never once open the door and invite you to look in. I trace, in one of my characters, the result of the habitual practice of cruelty (no matter under what pretence) in fatally deteriorating the nature of man and I leave the picture to speak for itself...

The Unlucky Colts Might Be Really Bad
With its franchise quarterback still on the mend, Indy's early-season hopes rest on Scott Tolzien (!) or Stephen Morris (!!) and the offensive line that got Andrew Luck injured in the first place (!!!)
By Danny Heifetz Aug 28, 2017, 12:43pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: The Unlucky Colts Might Be Really Bad
Years ago, Jon Gruden and Ron Jaworski were visiting an Indianapolis Colts practice ahead of a Monday Night Football game when the two noticed something strange—the backup quarterbacks weren't taking any reps. Gruden asked Tom Moore, Indy's longtime offensive coordinator and the architect of the Colts offense, why Peyton Manning was the only quarterback practicing.
"Fellas, if 18 [Manning] goes down, we're fucked," Moore said. "And we don't practice fucked."
Not much has changed in Indy: The Colts are still screwed without a star signal-caller under center. Andrew Luck underwent surgery on his throwing shoulder so long ago that Obama was still president, and there's still no timeline for Luck's return. It's looking increasingly likely that Luck will miss the Colts' opener, meaning that Scott Tolzien and his career two touchdowns and seven interceptions will likely lead Indianapolis to start the season.
Fans and fantasy football owners may clamor for Luck's return, but there's 123 million reasons over five years that Indianapolis should not push him to start the season before he's ready. Let's not forget that the man drafted right after Luck, Robert Griffin III, put his career in jeopardy by being "all in for Week 1." Colts owner Jim Irsay has been clear that he's thinking about the next decade of Colts football when weighing decisions regarding Luck's shoulder. If 2017 September football is the cost, then so be it.
"I can't emphasize how much time I've spent with Andrew, saying, 'You have to make this decision in the best interest of the franchise, the fans, your teammates, etc. Not just your competitive juices,'" Irsay said.
That stance from ownership makes it even more surprising that new general manager Chris Ballard didn't sign a veteran backup quarterback in the offseason. Irsay said the team attempted to sign a mystery quarterback in his mid-to-late 30s, but the move never panned out. Back in 2015, the team went 5-3 after veteran Matt Hasselbeck took over the starting spot in October while Luck was hurt. Instead of acquiring a similar insurance plan this year, the team stuck with Tolzien, who is now fighting former undrafted free agent Stephen Morris for the starting job. If Tolzien can't beat out other undrafted free-agent quarterbacks, beating any NFL team will be an upstream battle. The Colts defense looks like it will have seven new starters this year, which will hopefully improve the unit, but could also require some early-season fine-tuning.
The good news is that in the first five weeks of the season, the Colts play three of the worst teams in the league—the Rams, Browns, and 49ers. The bad news is they also play Seattle and Arizona. It is within the realm of possibility that if they blow those easy games, they'll be playing the Jaguars on October 22 for the title of Worst Team in Football.
If the Colts do earn that title, the blame will largely fall on former general manager Ryan Grigson, who was fired in January. Grigson landed a franchise quarterback in Luck and promptly squandered the opportunity. For much of Luck's tenure in Indianapolis, the Colts roster has been among the least talented in football, probably because the team hasn't drafted an impact player since 2012. The most egregious sin committed by Grigson was the construction of the offensive line, which has failed to adequately protect the franchise's new hope since he came into the league. Ballard now has the opposite problem most new general managers have: He has a generational talent at quarterback, but must do triage everywhere else.
Even when Luck returns, he's going to be rusty. He hasn't practiced in eight months, the longest stretch he's gone without playing football since middle school. Fortunately, the Colts are returning most of their starting 11 on offense so Luck should have some continuity, but he'll also be playing behind the same line that allowed him to be sacked 41 times last year, tied for the second-highest mark in the league. Luck isn't anyone's idea of fragile, but he clearly can't take punishment forever. He's already missed an entire offseason of preparation that can't be recaptured in a few weeks.
"Think about all the time quarterbacks spend with their receivers in the offseason," Jim Sorgi, who backed up Manning for years in Indianapolis (without getting reps in practice!) and is now a Colts radio analyst, told the Indianapolis Star. "That time is invaluable. … I don't think it's just gonna be pick up and go."
With a healthy Luck, the Colts would have a serious chance to win the AFC South. Without him, they could resemble the flailing 2-14 mess that landed them Luck in the first place. And even when Luck does return, we might not see him play like himself until Thanksgiving—and that's assuming his shoulder is healthy.
The Colts could be in trouble without Luck. Hopefully they've been practicing.

Torn Rotator Cuff Exercises, Rotator cuff exercises for shoulder joint pain.
torn rotator cuff can be managed with following some general exercise guidelines. Obviously the success in reducing your shoulder joint pain will in part depend on the size of the rotator cuff tear.
Of course, as part of the overall treatment program, utilize ice therapy to help minimize localized pain and swelling. I suggest icing the shoulder for 10 minutes following the exercise routine. In addition, to minimize inflammation, avoid all aggravating activities.
It is important with a torn rotator cuff that both stretching and strengthening exercises be performed pain free. Shoulder stretching may result in some discomfort, but pain should be avoided.
If you are experiencing limitation in the range of motion of the shoulder, start with the stretching exercises. Once your mobility reaches near normal, progress to the strengthening exercises. If you do not have any limitation in your ROM, begin with following the recommended strengthening exercises.
Lying flat on your back, grab a stick/golf club/bat with both hands, shoulder width apart. Keeping elbows straight, lift both arms up and overhead, using the uninjured shoulder to control the movement. Stretch the shoulder in this overhead position to the point of discomfort but not pain. Hold for 10 to 15 seconds, repeat 3 times.
While facing a wall, walk the injured arm up overhead until a stretch but no pain is felt in the shoulder. Hold for 10 seconds. While keeping the arm in this overhead position, rotate your body away from the wall. Hold for another 10 seconds. Repeat this process 3 times.
Place yourself in a sitting position along side a table. Rest your arm on the table with the elbow in a 90 degree flexed position. Keeping your forearm and elbow flat on the table, lean your body forward until you feel a stretch in your shoulder. Hold this stretch 10 to 15 seconds and repeat 3 times.
While lying on your uninjured side, tuck a rolled up towel between your injured arm and elbow. Using a light weight (2 lbs – 3 lbs) and keeping your elbow flexed at a 90 degree angle, slowly rotate your arm from next to your body up toward the ceiling, then lower back toward your body. Perform 3 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions. Make sure to perform movement in a slow controlled fashion. Because the rotator cuff muscles are endurance muscles, when the exercise becomes easy, increase the number of repetitions before increasing the weight.
Start in a standing position, using a light (2 lbs to 3 lbs) weight. Begin with your arms at your side. Lift arms up (at a 30 degree angle from straight out to the side) to shoulder height. Make sure to lead with the thumbs and keep your elbows straight. Avoid shrugging your shoulders by focusing on keeping your shoulder blades in a down and back position. Perform 3 sets of this slow movement, 10 to 15 repetitions. Over time, when the exercise becomes easy, increase the difficulty of the exercise by increasing the number of repetitions before increasing weight.
Attach a thera-band resistance band to a door. While facing the door in a standing position, grab the thera-band with both elbows extended. Move both arms backward while allowing the elbows to flex. Finish with squeezing your shoulder blades together. Avoid shrugging your shoulders by focusing on keeping your shoulder blades in a down and back position. Perform 3 sets of this slow movement, 10 to 15 repetitions. Over time, when the exercise becomes easy, increase the difficulty of the exercise by increasing the number of repetitions before increasing weight.
Use a sturdy table or chair to do this exercise. Keeping your arms in a straight position, shift your weight forward so your body is supported by your arms. Slightly lift your body up by contracting the muscles around your shoulder blades. The amount of movement will be small. Repeat 3 sets of 10 repetitions.
A torn rotator cuff does not have to mean surgery. Follow these recommended exercises to help you return to normal shoulder function.

However, while the fix is gradually reaching the players, many remain neglected for now. Understandably, this 500 V-Bucks from Epic Games comes more as a compensation for the players than a reward. However, one question that remains unanswered is why Epic Games hasn't been able to handle the situation in spite of a prolonged delay.
I got a pop up that I got my 1000 vbucks but didn't get them
— Trump2020 (@Chazz60645929) January 9, 2021
i got 500 vbucks, still not my 1k
— 💖 (@taff3yy) January 9, 2021
Can someone tell me what happened with the 1000 v bucks I haven't got them yet
— JASON RESOORT (@Freekymonster13) January 9, 2021
Well, they learn from there mistakes
— Fortniteiscool (@Fortnit43018485) January 9, 2021
he said "are being given out..." not "were given out"
— gingy 🍭 (@aaddamm) January 9, 2021
Amidst all that, the iOS community of Fortnite has joined in to inquire about the V-Bucks reward for their patient wait. Unfortunately for them, Epic Games hasn't revealed any official information regarding the return of Fortnite to iOS. However, when it does, Fortnite might return with a series of gifts and rewards for everyone.
If they are getting 500 v bucks for a few day delay. IOS players better be getting a lot more for missing over 200 days.
— Bowlingboy69 (@drxftfn) January 9, 2021
At this point I don't care mobile should just go to console or pc the better option
— Tilt region (@Tiltregions) January 9, 2021
Nevertheless, all of that remains to be seen later, as a major part of the community is still waiting to receive the 1,000 V-Bucks in Fortnite that they already paid for. Given that Epic Games are already handling the situation, it can be expected that everyone will receive their dues along with their rewards very soon.

'The Big Bang Theory' Cast Remembers Stephen Hawking
By	Anna Quintana	 March 14, 2018
Visionary scientist and theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking has passed away at the age of 76. The British author, best known for his work on black holes and relativity, died on Wednesday in his home in Cambridge, according to a statement released by his family.
Stephen was diagnosed with a rare form of motor neuron disease at the age of 22. Despite being wheelchair-bound, there is no doubt his life, which was captured in the film The Theory of Everything, inspired millions of people, including the creators and cast of science-based comedy The Big Bang Theory.
Stephen appeared in the CBS series in 2012, and the cast is paying homage to the late cosmologist following his death. "In loving memory of Stephen Hawking. It was an honor to have him on The #BigBangTheory. Thank you for inspiring us and the world," tweeted the show's official account.
Kaley Cuoco, who plays Penny on the series, also shared her fond memories of Stephen on social media. "It was truly such an honor getting to work with the incredible Stephen Hawking," she wrote alongside a photo of the cast with Stephen. "He made us laugh and we made him laugh. His life and career workings have been many a subject matter on @thebigbangtheory and we are all better for it. You will be missed but the world is grateful for the knowledge and courage you leave in your path. Thank you for being an inspiration to everyone."
Her co-star Mayim Bialik (Amy), went on to point out how his death fell so close to an unofficial science holiday. "As we near Pi day (3.14) I join the global community in mourning the loss of the greatest physicist of our era. #StephenHawking is free from the physical constraints of this earthly condition we all exist in and he is soaring above us now marveling at it all," she wrote. "Thank you, Dr. Hawking, for enlightening us and blessing us with your wisdom and courage."
It was truly such an honor getting to work with the incredible Stephen Hawking.. He made us laugh and we made him laugh.

A post shared by Kaley Cuoco (@kaleycuoco) on Mar 13, 2018 at 9:35pm PDT
Johnny Galecki, Big Bang Theory's Leonard, agreed, adding, "RIP #stephenhawking Not only your brilliance, but your sense of humor will be sorely missed by all." Stephen leaves behind his three children, Lucy, Robert, and Tim, and his three grandchildren. Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

FedEx's Rejection of P30 Pro Parcel
Huawei Reassesses Its Relationship with FedEx Over a Case of Diverted Packages
May 28, 2019, 15:47pm 2019/05/28 18:31:23 Greg Grigorian
Huawei, the embattled Chinese telecoms equipment giant, might be on the verge of falling off with yet another American company.
FedEx Corp, the U.S. package delivery company, supposedly diverted two packages meant for Huawei in Asia, sending them to the United States. The parcels came from Japan and were addressed to Huawei in China. The delivery company also attempted to divert two more packages sent from Vietnam to other Huawei offices in Asia, all without authorization.
According to Reuters, Huawei received the package from Vietnam on Friday and was expecting the rest of the parcels to be delivered later. FedEx spokeswoman Maury Donahue claims that the packages were simply "misrouted in error" and that FedEx did not receive any requests to divert them from any other party.
SEE ALSO: Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei: Strong Education Foundation Will Shape China Into A Truly Prosperous Country
Huawei asserted that there was no sensitive technology data in the packages, just documents. However, the company is currently reviewing its relationship with FedEx and might opt out of it for a more reliable partner.

One of the young women whose parents claimed R Kelly is holding them in a 'cult' has issued a second video claiming once again that she's not being held against her will and that her mum and dad "need to stop".
Possibly in response to the media reaction to the first video which was filmed indoors and in which Joycelyn Savage declined to say where she was or whether she was allowed to leave the latest interview finds Savage outdoors, sitting on a park bench, and speaking in a slightly less stilted manner than the first.
She also alludes to an incident that apparently took place shortly before she went to meet the singer.
"Honestly, you know the situation that had happened that night when I went to meet R. Kelly," she said.
"Mr. Robert Kelly is both alarmed and disturbed at the recent revelations attributed to him. R Kelly unequivocally denies such allegations and will work diligently and forcibly to pursue his accusers and clear his name," Kelly's attorney Linda Mensch said in a statement.
The singer has not been charged with any crime.

Q: Chartjs display multiple info with different units in label I have known that how to show multiple info. with same unit in the label by
multiTooltipTemplate: "<%=datasetLabel%> : <%= value %>%"
and the result as following:
[]InfoA:50%
[]InfoB:50%
But I'm now try to show infos with different units such as:
[]InfoA:50%
[]InfoB:50$
How can I do it?

A: Changing Tooltip Template By Label
You can use the label property of the valuesObject to figure out the index and use that to pick your symbol, like so
Chart.mySymbols = ['!', '@', '#', '$', '%', '^', '&'];

var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext("2d");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx).Line(window.data, {
    multiTooltipTemplate: "<%=datasetLabel%> : <%= value %><%= Chart.mySymbols[window.data.labels.indexOf(label)] %>"
});

Notice that both data and mySymbols collection are properties of globally referencible objects (window and Chart in this case, but it could be any global object). This is because only the valuesObject is injected into the template function. Unless you want to change the library code, using global objects would be the way to do it (however, do note that its not good design).

Fiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/z1nfqhfn/

Changing Tooltip Template By DataSet
If you want to do a similar thing by dataset, it would be
Chart.mySymbols = ['°C', '%'];

var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext("2d");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx).Line(window.data, {
    multiTooltipTemplate: "<%=datasetLabel%> : <%= value %><%= Chart.mySymbols[window.data.datasets.map(function(e) { return e.label }).indexOf(datasetLabel)] %>"
});

Future uncertain as Magna loan repayments loom
Bill OrdineThe Baltimore Sun
The credit leash on financially beleaguered Magna Entertainment, owner of Pimlico Race Course and Laurel Park, just got a lot shorter.
The company's controlling shareholder, MI Development, is abandoning a reorganization plan that had been criticized by the firm's minority shareholders. As a result, the due date on about $275 million in debt owed by Magna Entertainment to MI has been accelerated to March 20.
Both Canadian-based companies are controlled by auto-parts magnate Frank Stronach.
In a statement, Magna Entertainment said that it will not be able to repay the loans unless it can raise money "through an alternative transaction with MI Development, asset sales, by taking on additional debt or by some other means." The due date on Magna Entertainment's $40 million line of credit with a Canadian bank has also been moved up, to March 5.
Because Magna Entertainment owns the two Maryland race tracks and the Preakness Stakes, the state's horse industry is in a constant state of unease about the future of the tracks and the second jewel of the Triple Crown.
It remained unclear what Magna Entertainment's options might be, particularly since it has been trying to refinance its debt with other sources and sell real estate without success.
MI Development has already granted Magna extensions a handful of times over the past year. Magna Entertainment hired a firm specializing in restructuring debt and Chapter 11 bankruptcy last fall.
"If by some circumstances they did file for Chapter 11, it could get pretty crazy," said Maryland Racing Commission Chairman John Franzone, "because then you're at the mercy of a bankruptcy trustee."
Officials for Magna Entertainment could not be reached for comment.
Tim Rice, a managing partner in a stock brokerage firm whose clients once owned Magna Entertainment stock, said that Magna has passed up opportunities to liquidate real estate holdings at reasonable prices in the past.
"I'm sure that [Stronach] would do whatever he can to [prevent] the public shareholders from getting wiped out," Rice said, "but I don't know if he can do that."
But Franzone expressed confidence that Stronach will find a way out.
"Frank is a pretty savvy guy. He's faced crises in his auto business over the years and he's always pulled rabbits out of his hat, so I wouldn't count him out," Franzone said.
Magna Entertainment has used MI Development as a lender of last resort in recent years, to the chagrin of some MI minority shareholders.
The proposed reorganization would have eventually severed the relationship, but was undercut when a vocal MI Development shareholder, New York-based Greenlight Capital Inc., complained that the plan would convert the company's secured loans into shares of Magna Entertainment stock.
Magna Entertainment shares closed at 38 cents yesterday.
Part of the money that MI Development lent to Magna was supposed to be used to develop a new slot machine casino at Laurel Park. But the company's effort to secure a slots license was derailed when it failed to put up millions of dollars in required fees when it submitted its bid this month.
State officials threw out the Magna bid last week. Lawyers for the track's owners have taken the matter to court. State Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller said the state should work to ensure that the Preakness Stakes stays in Maryland and that horse racing remains viable here. He compared any effort to save the tracks to building a baseball stadium or granting tax incentives to Hollywood filmmakers who bring their sets here.
"If we have an interest in having movies filmed in Maryland," Miller said, "then we certainly have an interest in somehow finding a buyer for our racetracks."
Baltimore Sun reporters Hanah Cho and Laura Smitherman contributed to this article.

About GG Quad North America
Keith Scott Smith
Co-owner GG Quad North America "Prior to becoming the North American importer of GG Quad, I ran a division of a specialty construction contracting firm. After the sale
f our company that built and installed high voltage power lines and fiber optics for the
electric utility industry, I began a search to become associated with my passionate
hobby of motorcycles."
What Keith says about himself..."I am an Electrical Engineer by education and a gear head by desire."
Keith's formal education includes an undergraduate BSEE degree (Electrical Engineering) from the University of Missouri-Rolla; advanced graduate work in Engineering at University of Colorado in Denver, Colorado as well as holding an MBA (Masters in Business Administration) from Farleigh-Dickenson University in Madison, New Jersey.
"I have always been fascinated with mechanics and engines." This passion and a need for speed has resulted in a 30 year love affair with motorcycles. Keith's discovery of the GG Quad prototype at Intermot several years ago was exciting and intrigued him so immensely that it was not long before a new friendship had begun with Walter Gruter, inventor of the GG Quad. After a visit to the GG Quad factory in Ballwil, Switzerland, Gruter and Smith found that even though they had been born with an ocean separating them, their minds had been billeted out the same piece of grey matter. This visit cemented Smiths desire to become involved personally with the GG Quad and Gruter and Gut Motorraad technik. Smith is the exclusive contact for GG Quad in North America.
"I love all types of bikes and own BMW's, Ducati's, Suzuki's, Yamaha's, a KTM and a Katana as well as several my wife doesn't even know about!" Keith raced road bikes for several seasons at Second Creek Raceway in Denver, Colorado. As in most sports, he found the difference between a recreational Sunday ride, albeit a sporty one ride around Marcus Dairy, paled when in the company of a somewhat younger and much track savvy group of riders. Smith says about his experience "They were a great group of guys even though I was humbled greatly!"
"My commitment in life is to strive to put God first, others second and myself last." Keith is not a boring guy. He is always on the go with a love for the outdoors and the sport of a new challenge. He loves sport bikes, trail bikes, hunts birds & elk, and flying airplanes. One of Keith's newer adventures is to trail-ride all year to train for one big week of dirt biking at the Colorado 500. www.colorado500.org. The whole family shares a love for the outdoors and enjoys the family dirt bike rides. "My wife, a nurse usually mans the sag wagon. It is a sport that keeps us together." "Please let me know about anything that I can do to make your GG Quad experience one of excellence and high quality fun."
