The question of 'the' history of the Ccru is problematic, not least because Ccru activity is characterised by its antagonism towards stable temporality. It's the business of the great sedentary assemblages to establish settled lineages and well-ordered sequences, whereas Ccru-process attaches itself to coincidences, glitches and unforeseen consequences - breaks, twists and bends in time.
History insists upon a linear causal progression - a neat passage from the past (which is already decided) to the future (which is merely the playing out of what has been laid down in the past). Tell me about your mother, then, and I'll understand everything about you. Beyond this causality is another temporality, uncovered at the point where schizonanalysis meets pulp horror. Here, cause does not follow effect: there is a process of retrocontamination in which the deep past finds itself already infected with the far future. The crucial question is one of becoming: what are you changing into, what is growing out of you? Lovecraft, who specialised in narratives that looped the ancient palaeo- past into the far future, did not know that he was already infected with Ccru-virus any more than Ccru can know what strange entities are using its body to incubate the eggs from which they will emerge.
Let's begin at the end, with Ccru's 'latest' publication, Digital Hyperstition. Just now, it's the best place to look for clues as to what Ccru is becoming. Precisely because it is a mass of loose ends, unresolved questions, undecrypted signal. The Digital Hyperstition volume is an unexploded bomb: a text that, in decoding the esoteric traditions of the past, awaits its deployment in the near-future by populations it will itself machine.
Ccru is pleased to announce a deal in which key concepts from Digital Hyperstition have been sold to the games design company, Abstract Machines, who will be weaving them into the architecture of a digital game. From the point of view of the game and its consumers, Ccru is only important as the producer of Digital Hyperstition, and Digital Hyperstition is significant only as a handbook to the game.
In Chronos, or conventional linear time, Ccru begins as the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit at the University of Warwick, in K0 +95. But in Chronos, Ccru has never existed. An official statement from the Ccru's former institutional base had it that, "Ccru does not, has not and will never exist." You could say that the university phase of Ccru's activity was dedicated to its escape from its status as an institutional non-entity. A series of events, including Virtual Futures: Datableed and Afro-Futures in K0 +96, and Virotechnics in K0 +97, and the emergence of the swarm-journal Abstract Culture, functioned as provisional escape-hatches, portals connecting Ccru to the outside of the university where its own future lay. By the time of this year's Syzygy, the event for which Digital Hyperstition was the accompanying publication, the Ccru's institutional history was over before it had begun, and Ccru was well on the way to transforming itself into a rumour mill, an agency of cyber-hype.
Currently, much Ccru activity seems to be dedicated to spreading hype about Y2K. And you'll understand much more about Ccru - and Digital Hyperstition - once you appreciate why it so obsessed with Y2K. So let's say the history of the Ccru begins here, in the - very - near future, with Y2K.
By now, of course, everyone is familiar with the Y2K - or Millennium Bug - phenomenon. The common perception of Y2K is that it is - merely - an accident. A technical oversight. Not imagining that their programs would still be used come the Year 2000, programmers used a two-digit protocol to code for the date, with the result that, come January 1st, computers still reliant on such programs will be terminally confused, unable to distinguish the year 1900 from the Year 2000.
Ccru learned from cybernetics the lesson that there is nothing 'merely' technical, and sees Y2K as an event exemplifying a whole complex of intermeshing themes, including: the crash of Science Fiction (and the emergence of cyberpunk), the death of postmodernity, and the re-start of chronopolitical conflict.
So far as Ccru is concerned, this means the crash of Science Fiction. Y2K plugs into the fears that have haunted Science Fiction since its inception: the idea of a human population becoming dependent upon machines over which it has no effective control. As technological integration increases, human control lessens, and the possibility of something crashing the entire system grows. SF disintegrates into cyberpunk.
Where Science Fiction can be defined as the implementation of the project of Progressive Technology - a vision of uninhibited technological growth spreading out into a far future that has been speculatively planned - cyberpunk lurks in the near future, building itself out of the unanticipated consequences of technical development.
SF conceives of machines in terms of human use-value, thinking of them as (temporarily troublesome) tools with which humanity is ultimately destined to be reconciled . The famous jump-cut in Kubrick's 2001 - from caveman's primitive weapon to gleaming space vehicle - gives you a handy summary of the Science Fictional version of history.
>From the POV of Y2K, of course, 2001 never happens. And it is almost as if the popular unconscious and Y2K have colluded in the elimination of any date after 1999. In the early-to-mid 90s, when Y2K began to emerge as a problem, the year 2000 still seemed as far distant as it did in the 1950s, when programmers agreed upon the two-digit date protocol. In the popular unconscious, the year 2000 and beyond belong to the far distant time of Science Fiction - with the ironic effect that SF's long-term has suddenly collapsed into cyberpunk's near future.
Y2K is not only everywhere computers are, it is everywhere silicon chips are: it is a molecular bug, infecting even the tiniest interstices of the technical environment, an invisible invader into technical systems that have themselves tended to shrink out of human sight. It is a global problem that can only be tackled locally. Even if, say, airlines do manage to root out all their Mbug infections, they are still dependent upon agencies who may not have been so successful in debugging their systems.
So Y2K is not so much a catastrophe as a hyper-catastrophe. Y2K-os can be extrapolated from any number of contingencies and their potential interexcitations: traffic failure, food shortages, ATM malfunction, stock market crashes, exchange of nuclear weapons... Anything that is dependent upon computers is potentially infected with Mbug. Which is bad news for us, who are symbiotically intertwined with them.
Y2K is just one more example of the way in which capitalist reality is indistinguishable from fiction: in capital's world of simulation and cybernetic anticipation, all that is solid has melted into the abstract and virtual. Which is not to subscribe to some melancholy postmodern story about derealization so much as to point to ways in which virtual agencies - such as potentials - have the most material effect imaginable.
Cyberpunk begins with Y2K, but when does Y2K begin? Y2K transforms the dynamics of chaos theory into the logic of fatality. At one level, you couldn't be more precise about when Y2K will happen; at another, it's a massively distributed event, involving the whole century. You could date Y2K at the point, in the 1950s, when the 2-digit protocol was put in place, or at any point since, when the decision to modify it was not taken. As with any fatal loop, ironies abound. It was the military forerunner of the internet, ARPANET, that established the 2-digit dating system. Now, with the Cold War ended, the biggest threat to western security may be a - literal - time-bomb planted by the US military itself some forty years ago.
When the Economist questioned last year whether two digits can /really mean the end of civilization, it expressed what is a widespread inability to come to terms with the real and effective (not merely signifying or representational) power of signs in cybernetic culture. Y2K is a semiotic event, but it does not belong to postmodernity's regime of signs. Rather, Y2K signals the virtual termination of PoMo. The widespread failure of the academy to offer any effective response to Y2K (or any sort of response at all) is testament to the bankruptcy of its theoretical commitments. It was one thing for out-of-touch theorists to fail to anticipate the events of 1968; but to be unable to respond to Y2K - an event - is an oversight of another magnitude entirely.
The problem is that Y2K scrambles the PoMo radar, discomfiting the by now cosy set of assumptions on which postmodern thought rests. Y2K is culturally-generated but it does not belong to "discourse"; it is a disaster, but it is entirely "unnatural". The notion of cultural construction to which PoMo is so attached has always carried with it the implicit idea that what has been constructed can be taken apart again. The assumption belongs to a pre-cybernetic opposition between Nature (as the realm of the given) and Culture (as the province of the mutable) that Y2K - like the cybernetic capitalism which has incubated it - is effectively dismantling. Y2K is no less of a catastrophe, and no less ineradicable, because it is totally artificial.
Against the PoMo dictum that signs are arbitrary (and therefore effectively interchangable), Y2K promises that global disaster could be precipitated by a specific semiotic trigger. When next some media pundit yawns about the Year 2000 being an arbitrary date, reflect on the fact that Y2K is happening not on a date, but because of a date. More radically put, the event is the date. At no other point in history have semiotic dating practices themselves caused a catastrophe: when people looked to the skies in trepidation in 999, they didn't imagine that the date itself would bring calamity.
These denizens of the darkside of cyberspace are practitioners of what Ccru calls digital hyperstition. It's time to look closer at what is involved in this term, and the best place to begin is with one of the writers who have written most extensively on the subject, Iris Carver.


A chieftain of Arewa Consultative Forum and delegate in the ongoing National Conference, AVM Mukhtar Mohammed (rtd) has said the Boko Haram insurgency and other insecurity bedeviling the nation were created by those desperate to hold on to political power in the country at all cost.
He stated this during a conference of the Arewa Research & Development Project held in Kaduna on Thursday.
He also added it was time for the North to think upright and go back to the region they received from their founding fathers in order to salvage it from numerous problems of insecurity and poverty.
"We have to come to our senses and know that our enemies thrive on our disunity and we can only stop them if we unite as a people for the benefit of our region and our country.
"The recent happening in the National Conference where some groups try to smuggle in a new constitution which would have upturned the political landscape of the country is an example. Those of us in the conference know that at no time have we mandated any group to draft any new constitution for the country.
"The leaders of the northern delegates at the confab rose up and mobilize the delegates who spoke in one voice and disassociate ourselves from the new drafted constitution. As I am talking to you, I just receive breaking news from the confab center that the leadership of the confab has seen reason and has treated the drafted constitution as rubbish.
"This shows that when we are united as a people, we can go a long way to fight for our right," he said.


So ok, warning first! this is gonna be a long post, a long post filled with food pictures.
I felt like I was obligated to try all types of different food in Osaka but of course it wouldn't be a very good idea so we stuck to the few very popular must try food instead.
We only had 3 days, so we didn't really had time to go food hunting, instead we settled for any restaurant that caught our attention and these are the few that was worth highlighting throughout our trip.
It's a very small restaurant, more like a fast food chain if you ask me but the ramen was just so yummy! I don't know how the people can do it tho, they'd leave their backs behind their back while having lunch! I don't think I can ever trust my bag being somewhere where I can't see while having lunch, especially if one were to steal one of the bags, it'd be really easy for them to do so!
Our food came, and boy was it good!
I'm not a fan of cold soba, but this one I'm a fan of! I think I've changed my perception towars cold Soba completely after this meal!
and the bathroom. One thing I love about Japan hotels is that they will most the time have a bathtub in the hotel! It's such a norm for people to take a bath each day I guess so hence why having bathtubs aren't that big of a deal!
Like a whole small zone just dedicated to food!
We came across this 300 yen shop, which their menu are all priced at 300 yen. They do however do covercharge per person tho, so whatever you order+ per persons cover charge which was an extra 300 yen each.
We couldn't miss the Okonomiyaki. Osaka was really well known for their Okonomiyaki. It's like a must must try and man, I was glad i did try it. This turned out to be my fav food in Osaka!
and we had to go to this Kinryu ramen shop along Namba bridge. A few years back I was here with my family and we had the best ramen ever(granted it was winter and I guess a hot bowl of any noodle was gonna be the best noodle ever) so me and my sister were determined to find this shop again.
It was good, but it wasn't as good as we thought it'd be. Perhaps it was the weather bt me and my sister were quite disappointed at our noodles=( It didn't had the melt in your mouth char siew and perhaps the hot weather didn't help either.
but man the sushi was good, like really good! Each plate was about 1050 yen, which came down to about RM35 but it was def worth it!!
but we had 2 plates of these, and man it was so so so so yum!
They also have one of the thickest most yummiest miso broth ever! I guess credit goes to the clams in the miso soup!
This was my breakfast for the 3 days. I love the milk there, and I loved the yogurt drinks even more!
Starbucks was also a slight diff with their menu, they have strawberry cheesecake frap!
If you are wondering why I brought my phone on this day, it's because they have wifi along their streets! convi ey!
On my last day I was determined to visit the Osakajo, aka Osaka castle. I was really done with shopping(I know i know) and I wanted something different so I did.
The place is beautiful! I went during summer and it was already so pretty, imagine if I did visit the place during fall!
Was a little walk so I had to get a break in between.
But it was just so worth it!
That was pretty much it for my Osaka trip! I would say my highlight was def visiting the Osaka castle! I also did the stupidest thing by trying to walk back to my hotel because someone told me it was a walking distance but man! It was an hour of a walk back to the hotel! Worth it tho, lucky I was carrying my Samsung Galaxy camera instead of the normal DSLR or I would have had a really sore shoulder by the time I got back to the hotel!
Previous Post Mary Quant and the case of the confused cake!

Seven students have won seats on Governing Council, after an elections season that saw 39 candidates vie to represent students on U of T's most powerful administrative body.
Out of Governing Council's 50 members, there are eight seats available to students, spread across five different constituencies. One of the seats for Part-time Undergraduate Students was not filled as not enough candidates ran in that election.
Yining (Elin) Gu and Apefa Adjivon won the race to represent the constituency of full-time undergraduate students of the Faculty of Arts & Science, UTM, and UTSC.
Gu, a UTSC student, received 371 votes and Adjivon, a University College student, received 303 votes. Twenty-one candidates ran for this constituency.
Representing the constituency of full-time undergraduate students of the Professional Faculties will be Mallory Estelle Jackman and Andrew Girgis.
Jackman is a Medicine student and received 104 votes, while Girgis is a Pharmacy student and 97 votes. A total of five candidates ran from this constituency.
Susan Froom, a Trinity College student, will represent the constituency of Part-time Undergraduate Students. She won uncontested, with the second seat available for this constituency unfulfilled. Froom has served in this position since the 2014–2015 academic year.
LP Veuilleux, a Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy student, won the seat to represent Constituency I of graduate students with 159 votes. Seven candidates from this constituency ran for a seat.
Amin Kamaleddin, a Biomaterials & Biomedical Engineering student, won the race to represent Constituency II of graduate students with 338 votes. Five candidates ran from this constituency.
The university released election results on February 19, following its call for nominations in January and its election this month.
Editor's Note (February 21, 5:10 pm): The article has been updated to correct that there are eight seats available to students and one of them remains unfilled.

Freeview on demand app on my Smart TV (<1 year old) is really buggy. You browse programmes etc but they freeze when trying to play. Another else with this issue?
Okay, an update re this behaviour. I've worked out that Freeview on Demand has some sort off issue with certain other inputs on the TV. It works fine if switching from normal aerial TV channels to FOD but it absolutely hates switching from my Vodafone TV cable box (T-Box) to FOD. If I am on the T-box and then switch to FOD it loads but freezes and the T-Box sound continues to play. Its very much as if the Samsung software is not able to adequately switch over.
Seems logical. Freeview states that a UHF (or Sat Dish) must be connected for FOD to work. Therefore it seems logical to me that the TV must be switched to a live channel to use FOD so that FOD can achieve the necessary interaction with the broadcast EPG. If any other input is selected then the broadcast EPG will be absent. Maybe someone from Freeview could comment?
Its already all connected, it seems odd that the FV app is so picky as to require a specific precursor source given that FV On demand itself is just another source.
Once you figure out what it wants its no biggie but it makes little logical sense as a user.


Love it! I can't wait to get the pattern. I have the perfect fabric (several, actually) in mind to make this purse!
I bought Miss Petunia and would love to add a zipper on top and not as a pocket. Your zipper tut on the side refers to pocket zippers not top zippers.
anyone had a problem with this pattern? The strips 1-9 on the pattern seem mislabeled. If you do it how the pattern says (matching side A;s and B's) the top of the bag will come out staggered instead of a straight line. Is that correct? If anyone knows the answer I would love one. I can't sew the main bag together until I figure it out.
I am also confused. You have in your pattern- From Fabric A (outer fabric) cut 1 each of pattern pieces 1-9. I see pattern pieces 1-4 & 1-4, please explain. Thank you!
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. Just fyi-on my pattern the right side of 1 is labeled B and the left side of 2 is labeled A- so that means I'm matching up A to B- but the pattern says to match A's to A's and B's to B's. Maybe it's a misprint. Thanks so much, can't wait to finish it- such a cute bag!
I'm not quite understanding how to place the ruffles on this bag it says 1inch from top and end 1 inch from bottom, so when I place my ruffle it's right in the middle of the strip, is that right? And when I put the second piece over the ruffle am I supposed to line it up with the top of the ruffle or the matching side of the strip?? Thanks.
What does it mean in number 6 "the main ruffled piece"?

Bush to visit Korea; will discuss North
By - The Washington Times - Saturday, January 12, 2002
The Bush administration is refocusing its attention on North Korea and its nuclear and missile capabilities with a major diplomatic effort on the peninsula to begin as early as this month.
South Korea announced yesterday that President Bush will visit the country in late February, with the reclusive North and its troublesome nuclear potential high on the agenda in the summit with President Kim Dae-jung.
The trip will include a stop in Japan, according to officials in Tokyo.
The announcement of a new diplomatic gambit on the Korean Peninsula comes as yet another signal that the Bush administration is returning to a broader foreign policy agenda since beginning the anti-terrorism campaign in Afghanistan.
Seoul also said South Korean Foreign Minister Han Seung-soo will discuss relations with the North with Secretary of State Colin L. Powell in Washington later this month.
Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said yesterday a visit by a team of specialists to a North Korean nuclear facility next week will be a "small but welcome first step" toward resuming full inspections.
The Bush administration, which has said for several months that it's ready to re-engage with the North at any time with no preconditions, made a fresh overture to the Stalinist state this week at a meeting with a North Korean official in New York.
Jack Pritchard, Washington's special envoy for negotiations with North Korea, "had an introductory meeting" on Thursday with Pak Gil-yon, Pyongyang's new permanent representative to the United Nations, a State Department official said yesterday.
"The meeting is part of our routine diplomatic contact with North Korea via our New York channel," the official said.
North Korean ballistic missiles, which it sells to rogue nations such as Iraq and Syria, are another major concern in Washington.
But North Korea appears to be unmoved by these U.S. concerns.
Yesterday, the North's official Korean Central News Agency said U.S. statements of concern about North Korean ballistic missiles showed "a wicked criminal intention to aggravate the inter-Korean relations and block the reunification of Korea."
The State Department has called on Pyongyang to allow IAEA inspectors to visit the Yongbyon site of the nuclear facility, which was mothballed under a 1994 agreement with Washington. In exchange, the United States, together with South Korea and Japan, promised the North two modern nuclear power stations, which are now under construction.
The experts going to the site Tuesday are members of a "technical team," the IAEA said yesterday. They will also visit an isotope production laboratory, which the North says was involved in the early stages of developing its program to generate electricity by splitting the atom.
U.S. intelligence officials believe the North also used the project to make fuel for nuclear weapons and may already have put together one or more atom bombs.
"This is a small but welcome step toward a return to full-fledged inspections required under North Korea's safeguards agreement," IAEA head Mohammed Baradei said in a statement.
The Vienna, Austria-based IAEA, a U.N. agency, has since 1993 been unable to fully implement a safeguards accord with North Korea and therefore cannot verify Pyongyang's assertion that its nuclear program is not involved in weapons production.
"If it were to resume these inspections, the agency estimates the work required to verify that all nuclear material in [North Korea] had been declared to the agency would take three to four years with full cooperation," Mr. Baradei's statement said.
The IAEA wants full inspections of the Yongbyon site, which is suspected of having secretly produced unspecified amounts of weapons-grade plutonium.
North Korea has refused the IAEA full access to its facilities and denies it has ambitions to make nuclear weapons in the future.
The $4.6 billion project to build two nuclear power stations in the North was supposed to be completed by 2003, but delays have pushed back the finish until at least 2008. Pyongyang insists it will allow full IAEA inspections only when a significant portion of the project is completed.
A State Department official said the IAEA already has at Yongbyon people though not inspectors whose job is to make sure that "the canning of nuclear materials is going on under accepted standards."

SpaceX and the X-Planet System
SpaceX Rebrand
SpaceX Rebrand by Yuma Naito
Brief: SpaceX is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company that manufactures and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft. Their ultimate goal is to make people to live on other planets.
Concept: The new identity system is known as "X-Planet System". It is a flexible identity system that has true value and stories behind the company in a unique way. The overlapping shapes of the main mark represents connectivity, reliability and strength. The stripes show speed, direction, exploration, and also the 7 continents. X-Planet creates exclusive and memorable experiences for people. With the new identity, SpaceX is ready to take human being to the world we've never seen.
Approach: I've created this Identity so that SpaceX can have their original graphic language. Consequently the secondary marks have their own meaning and as a result work as product logos and graphic icons such as an arrow, a heart, and also a rocket. Furthermore they are used for apps, interactive posters, installations and any other mediums launched by SpaceX. The four-leaf clover has become a regular item on SpaceX's flight ever since the company's first successful rocket launch in 2008.
Hence the X-clover for luck, in order to enhance the company's culture and also their stories. SpaceX will open a new identity launch party at California Science Centre in Los Angeles. The campaign posters and installations are sequential, which people can interact and have new experiences with the X-Planet system.
The brand manual consists of 4 chapters with 86 pages. And this book will come with style guild posters. The chapters in the manual represent layers of air around the Earth (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere). And also a fun fact about Space sections encourage people to learn about space and help create emotional connections with readers.

school, dance, speaking engagements and community service. Being Miss Arizona's Outstanding Teen allows me the opportunity to promote my personal platform 'Hope for Children in Foster Care' and the Miss America Organization's designated charity 'Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.' I travel the state attending events for both. I especially enjoy visiting Phoenix Children's Hospital because I love kids and aspire to be a pediatric nurse. Visiting the hospital as Miss Arizona's Outstanding Teen in full regalia helps to make their day better and get their minds on some fun for a while. Dance is also a huge part of my life and it is how I best express myself. During the 5 years I was in foster care, I was very angry and guarded. One coping mechanism I was taught involved channeling that anger and pain through painting and drawing. After being adopted, my parents signed me up for dance and it's become my new coping skill and a great joy of mine.
is the sunset. It's literally the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Shawn Mendez! I absolutely love his music. Maybe one day I'll make it to one of his concerts!?!?!?
is special to me because I wished for one for so long. I spent 5 years in foster care wishing for a family. This family was well worth the wait.
Misty Copeland from the American Ballet Theatre. She started dancing later in life and defied the odds by becoming a professional dancer. It helps me believe that I can perfect my craft.
is painting and dancing. They got me through a lot of tough times.
a pediatric nurse and still do!
my mom. We have a lot in common and can connect on similar life experiences. She is successful despite everything she's been through. She has this inner strength that I hope rubs off on me so that I can pass it on.
again, my MOM. We have this amazing connection. She seems to know the right thing to say and at the right time. She motivates me every day to be the best version of myself that I can be. She sends me these long motivational text messages most mornings. It's a great way to start my day.
that every kid in foster care could find their forever family and their happily ever after.
hanging out with friends and family playing video games and eating BBQ that my dad grills. He is a master!
the job of my dreams as Miss Arizona's Outstanding Teen! It is a huge honor to hold this title.
didn't get off to a traditional start. I was placed in the foster care system at nine years old after years of neglect and abuse. While in foster care, I faced some of the darkest days that I could ever imagine. I felt helpless and hopeless. I was so lucky to have a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) there for me. Not once did she waiver. If I was in trouble, my CASA was there. During failed adoptions, my CASA was there. When I moved in and out 13 different homes, my CASA was there. When I was terrified and acting out, she talked to my now adoptive parents about how to understand me and where the behaviors were stemming from. She stuck by me when it seemed like everyone else was failing me. She's still there even post adoption. I love who I'm becoming. I make the decision every day to be a better person than the original example that was set for me.
excelling and finishing school work so that I'm on track for college.
give up on happily ever after.

"NYSQ are the New York Standards Quartet - a group of American virtuosi who can stick pretty close to a classic-jazz approach while sounding as if they're discovering the fun of those straight-ahead methods rather than simply polishing them up. This time, the New York lineup - early Coltranesque saxophonist Tim Armacost, pianist David Berkman and sometime Herbie Hancock drummer Gene Jackson - are joined by a Big Apple expat: double bassist Michael Janisch."
- John Fordham, The Guardian (UK)
"The quartet's ethos remains at once coherent and undiminished, providing modern updates to the classic standards as well as laying down some meaty originals from within the group. Pianist Berkman, who has performed with both Tom Harrell and the Vanguard Orchestra, is particularly prolific with no less than four compositions." - Tim Stenhouse, UKVibe.org
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - On March 18, 2016, Whirlwind Recordings proudly releases The New York Standards Quartet - Power of 10, celebrating ten years of touring/recording together. Power of 10 is the NYSQ's second recording for the label and the much-anticipated follow up to The New Straight Ahead. The New York Standards Quartet is: Tim Armacost (saxophones), David Berkman (piano), Gene Jackson (drums), and Michael Janisch (double bass, and also the owner of Whirlwind Recordings). "We were thrilled to team up with the great Michael Janisch for this project. He was a perfect fit with the group and he brings his unique voice to the music," said the NYSQ.
"Bands are like weeds," New York Standards Quartet pianist David Berkman says, "a lot of the time they come about accidentally, because of luck and circumstances, without much pre-planning." In the case of this band that circumstance was a shared love of, not only jazz, but also Japanese culture. Tim Armacost is a Grammy nominated saxophonist who has performed with Kenny Barron, Bob Hurst and Ray Drummond among many others, and is the NYSQ's founder. He has lived in Tokyo several times and has performed there for years. Gene Jackson, a drumming powerhouse well known from his nine years with the Herbie Hancock trio, as well as his performances/recordings with Dave Holland, the Mingus Band and Wayne Shorter, is married to a Japanese woman and splits his time between New York and Tokyo. David Berkman, a fiery pianist who is both rooted in the jazz tradition and a harmonically adventurous improviser and composer, is a thirty-plus year NYC veteran of many bands including Tom Harrell, The Vanguard Orchestra and countless others. Berkman, also married to a Japanese woman, frequently travels to, and performs in, Japan.
Of course, coming together is one thing, staying together, is another. What began as a happy coincidence of three friends, three master musicians, playing together in a foreign land (documented on Live In Tokyo), has grown into a mature, imposing collective that has become far more than the sum of its impressive parts. Arguably, the most cherished moments in the history of recorded jazz have come from bands, due to the time these groups have had to reach a level of mutual understanding, respect and affection. It is this way with the New York Standards Quartet, as evidenced in their four previous acclaimed recordings, and the impassioned responses from audience across the U.S., U.K., Europe and Japan. "This band was a weed that hung in there through difficult conditions with a lot of perseverance in order to flower into the band it is today. It is a source of great pleasure and pride for all of us that we are still together and going strong, learning and developing and making music," said Berkman. Gene Jackson added that, "one day I was driving my car listening to a special radio show about the Modern Jazz Quartet. It became clear to me that reaching the type of interplay and communication the MJQ had can only be accomplished by developing together as a band for many years. I realized that if we committed to keeping the NYSQ together there could be many benefits, musically and otherwise. Often when things got difficult, when we had reached points where the thought of disbanding seemed plausible or even reasonable, I'd repeat my views to Tim and Dave on staying together, no matter what. I am grateful the NYSQ has chosen the road less travelled. Every time we hit the bandstand together it is obvious we made the right choice. I look forward to the days when, through our commitment to this band, we inspire other bands to stay musically connected, just as the example of the MJQ inspired me."
The mission of the New York Standards Quartet has always been to interpret standards and traditional jazz tunes in a way that would allow audiences to connect and be engaged, while at the same time, playing in the contemporary jazz style the members have developed through their many decades on the New York jazz scene. While Power of 10 celebrates the 10th anniversary of this band, it also shines a spotlight on the group's incredible ability to explore music, together. Tim Armacost explains further, "David was explaining what being a band for 10 years means: that the result of staying together is that we've become totally familiar with each other's playing. When one of us is going for something new, reaching for a different take on a tune, or just pushing the moment forward, everyone hears it immediately. You can feel what the other players are thinking. So when one of us gets inspired and starts a search, or finds a new angle on a tune, everyone jumps in to see where the music will go, or moves over and makes a space for something different to happen. Participating in those moments of discovery is intensely exciting, and that spark is what gives the music its life."
Berkman, who writes much of the band's original repertoire, has a distinctive flair for re-casting well-known jazz standards in new and unexpected settings. On Power of 10, songs like "Deep High Wide Sky" and "Hidden Fondness" are melodies based on the chord progressions of "How Deep is the Ocean" and a reharmonized, "Secret Love". In the hands of the NYSQ, his arrangement of the well worn standard "All of Me" becomes a daring, harmonically tense vehicle for Armacost's mighty soprano playing and Jackson's powerful drumming. Armacost's arrangement of "Lush Life" brings a new perspective to this classic Strayhorn ballad, and his "Green Doll's Phone" is a playful treatment of "On Green Dolphin Street," written to showcase the brilliant technical prowess of bassist Michael Janisch. Gene Jackson, the band's rhythmic center who drives the music forward with fire and infectious good spirits, is in fine form (as always) throughout the session and contributes his brilliant arrangement of Elvin Jones' "Three Card Molly."

Gordon + Holmes recently represented a client in an arbitration involving a dispute over ownership and management of a high-rise office building located in a major metropolitan area. The property was jointly owned by a number of investors.
The arbitration was originally filed by our client for the sole purpose of confirming that it had properly and adequately exercised an option to buy out three property owners who sought to block the sale of the property contrary to the governing agreements.
The arbitrator ordered that the case would be tried in two phases. The first phase addressed the enforceability of the purchase option provision. If the arbitrator determined that the option had been properly and adequately exercised, a phase two hearing would determine the value which must be paid to purchase each of the three dissenting property owners' interests.
Gordon + Holmes presented evidence clearly showing that the option was fully and properly exercised by our client as to all three dissenting owners. We were also able to show that the exercise of the purchase option was approved of by a vast majority of the other owners – even more than required under the agreement.
The arbitrator ordered the three dissenting owners to transfer their interest in the property and set phase two for the valuation of their fractional ownership interests and damages. Additionally, the phase one ruling eliminated a $16 million damage claim against our clients. The property is currently in escrow awaiting consummation of the sale.

I was early today at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC) to catch up with fellow delegates as well as to listen to Climate Action Network (CAN) International's Press Briefing on Non-Governmental Response to Negotiations. Another way to get a summary and impressions on the negotiations aside from the Stock Taking Plenary (happening tonight at 1800 chaired by the COP18 President, H.E. Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Attiyah) and hear it from dedicated NGOs through CAN who currently have an Arab (Lebanon) as its Director.
Wael Hmaidan, CAN International Director, noted that "the Arab leadership has failed us so far," however, with two full days more in the negotiations, they are optimistic for pledges, bring spirits up, and help raise the ambition gap.
A photo grabbed from a video clip of emotional Saño.
Yesterday, an intense and uncharacteristic typhoon slammed into an island Mindanao, south of the Philippines, but still not sure as of this writing on the damage it has put again to my highly vulnerable country. I missed the plenary, nevertheless, able to watch it online and saw a senior diplomat breaks down in public. Was it a signal that other countries must pay attention? It happens rarely, but can it have a dramatic effect?
"I appeal to all, please, no more delays, no more excuses. Please, let Doha be remembered as the place where we found the political will to turn things around.
Please, let 2012 be remembered as the year the world found the courage to find the will to take responsibility for the future we want.
Still a day or two towards the closing of this conference and having a roller coaster ride with my emotions – high, down, sideways – maybe due to my first ever COP, upcoming Christmas holidays with my family, Qatar Sustainability Network and SustainableQatar, whatever it is, I am optimistic that these climate talks will yield to the results we all want to achieve for the current and especially for the coming generations.
And, yes, I believe that Qatar will do its best to be remembered as the conference where it demonstrated a lead role in climate negotiations. They. Just. Will….and that is exactly why we (SustainableQatar and QSN) are here, too!

Adult coloring books were all the rage a few years back. If you look on the shelves at stores you still see them around. They are meant for adults to relax and find their calm. (A sort of grown-up time out.) It can also be therapeutic in the sense that it redirects the mind allowing the mind to reset.
A few years ago it was suggested to me that I try one of these Adult Coloring books, while I was juggling a toddler, an aging parent, and work. So I did and I must say it helped. My Mom had her baggage of issues to deal with and I suggested she try an Adult coloring book, thinking I am going to help her out. I was so excited that I was able to get her interested in something, anything.
"Is that DIRTY?", She said.
Point being, adult coloring books are fun, therapeutic and if you ask your older parents you might just get a funny answer. Besides, it always nice to get in touch with your inner child and color, even if it's outside the lines.

"Going paperless" has lost some of its marketing luster. It is the new norm. Customers expect they'll be able to view and manipulate their subscriptions online, as well as pay their bill digitally. Companies that aren't offering digital payment or account management options to customers are likely losing them, spending too much admin time, and losing money. Especially in the enterprise space, companies must take a digital first approach.
With over 13 million subscribers, Dish Network is the primary source of digital entertainment for many Americans. As an industry leader, the company wanted to expand the value of their account management app to give customers the ability to view their package, make changes, and pay their bill.
Customer frustrations and customer service costs were increasing. The Dish team knew they needed to depart from their traditional top-down process of product development to ensure the new app addressed customer pain points. Spire's upfront research, rapid prototyping, and testing would uncover a path for product development.
Dish partnered with Spire Digital for a 10-day innovation lab focused on discovering what would elevate the customer service experience. In addition to guiding the Dish team through a new process that put customers first, we helped Dish move quickly and embrace change.
Embarking on the work, it was important that our team understood real customer problems prior to defining functionality. A combination of customer service records, user interviews, and a top task survey gave us a detailed picture of the challenge before we moved into solutions.
By scoring features based on user value, business value, and level of effort, we helped Dish create the feature list and roadmap for their new digital platform, to drive the business forward. We then turned the feature list into a clickable prototype of the new app, which we guerilla tested with a slate of customers to validate usability. Within just four weeks of inception, the app design was production ready.
This experience was incredibly enriching. I walked away with tons of great notes and ideas for how I'd like to improve my own team's processes.


The comment of a busy worker of 'I haven't got time to go on a Time Management course' maybe seen by some as amusing. However, it's no laughing matter when the pressure is constantly on.
Managing stress due to the constant pressure associated with mobile phones, laptops and social media, can for some, cause unwanted and misguided attention. Some put on a brave face to others. Pretending every things fine whilst you're not coping is not the best strategy for building a happy life.
However, the very fact your reading this page is a good indication to me that you or someone close to you has recognised what's happening around you. You're now looking for ways of managing stress effectively.
Good – that solution could be very much closer than you think.
Managing stress effectively using a combination of NLP and Cognitive Hypnotherapy techniques can be your green light as you personally feel the effects of your progress. You will learn how to process, organise and evaluate your daily thoughts more efficiently. Consequently, you'll be working smarter – not just harder.

Q: Spawn Player ENOENT error while emulate genymotion I'm not sure this is NativeScript or GenyMotion error.
tns emulate android --geny "devices name" and I got this error Spawn player ENOENT.
Any idea how to fix this?

A: There are a couple reasons you can this error.

*

*First make sure you have https://www.genymotion.com/ Installed, if you don't have it installed then the --geny won't work and fail.

*Make sure that you can start that specific VM from inside GenyMotion.

*On Windows, you need to make sure that

C:\Program Files\Genymobile\Genymotion

is in your path.  (Assuming you installed GenyMotion to the default path.)   On Linux & MacOS I believe it will already be in your path.
One way to verify if GenyMotion is in your path on any of the Operating systems is to type:

genyshell

At a command prompt/shell; if it loads then you can type "quit" to exit.  But this will verify that all the GenyMotion support files can be ran from anywhere on your command line.

A: I recently encountered this same problem. I'm using NativeScript on a Mac and in my case the custom Genymotion version of ADB was causing the problem.
To resolve, open Genymotion go to Settings > ADB > Use custom Android SDK tools
In the Android SDK textbox, provide the path to your Android SDK directory. If you're not sure where your directory is, run this in your terminal to get the path:
$ echo $ANDROID_HOME
Copy that path in to the Genymotion settings and try to emulate your app again. This should fix the ADB conflicts and allow NativeScript to emulate your app properly. Hope this helps.

Herald-Times columnist Mike Leonard has done it again. As you may recall, Leonard committed a serious breach of journalistic ethics in 2006 by fabricating a Congressional vote that never took place and attacking Mike Sodrel based on that fabrication. Now, he is lying about Governor Mitch Daniels.
Daniels has stayed consistent in his drive to write property tax caps into the state constitution. Even though the caps already are state law.
We've seen the wisdom of that philosophy already. Public education is getting slammed, higher education is taking hard hits — especially at Ivy Tech.
There is a major problem with Leonard's argument. Ivy Tech is not funded by property taxes. Leonard is attempting to lead H-T readers into believing that Ivy Tech's operating budget is funded by property taxes, and their operating budget has suffered as property taxes have gone down since the reforms implemented a few years ago.
That is not true. It is a lie. That means Mike Leonard is a liar.
Leonard's article was little more than a hyper partisan hit piece on the Governor, a fact underscored by the laughable claim a property tax freeze is "going to destroy public education in Indiana, which also is a Daniels goal."
Leftists know Leonard stepped in it again, so they are pulling out all the stops in a desperate attempt to distract attention away from Leonard's egregious lie. Leonard has been the Democratic Party's mouthpiece in Monroe County for years, and they do not want to lose the free space he gives them to promote their political agenda.
They shouldn't be worried. If Leonard was not fired after fabricating a Congressional vote that never took place - a serious breach of journalistic ethics that would get him fired at any newspaper where the editor has even the tiniest shred of integrity - he will not be fired or reassigned for his latest lie.
The red herrings will not work. Leonard has been writing about politics for years, and he knows that Ivy Tech's operating budget is not funded by property taxes. Leftists can flail their arms and stomp their feet as much as they want, but the fact of the matter is that Mike Leonard lied about the source of Ivy Tech's funding. No amount of spin will change that fact, and no amount of red herrings will make it go away. This is not about Republicans and Democrats and this is most certainly not about Leonard's critics. This is about truth.
Mike Leonard is an opinion columnist. I may not agree with him, but I do not have a problem with him writing editorials. Sometimes, his articles are a worthwhile and informative read. But while opinion and analysis are expected from a columnist, Leonard should be held to the same standards as any other reporter regarding factual and truthful information. He should not be permitted to shamelessly lie about well-established facts.
The Herald-Times needs to issue a retraction and an apology for Leonard's egregious lie, and he should be put on notice that these severe breaches of journalistic ethics will not be tolerated and will result in his employment being terminated if it happens again.

Home Sports Horsens are doing red numbers for the first time in five years
Horsens are doing red numbers for the first time in five years
BT NEWS
2019 was a financially bad year for AC Horsens, who came out with a deficit of four million dollars.
For the first time since 2014 is the failed Danish superliga club AC Horsens to the low black figures on the bottom line in the financial statements.
It shall notify the club on its website.
the financial Statements for the 2019 thus shows a deficit of four million dollars. It is significantly lower than the year before, where the club gave a profit of 13 million dollars.
– the Result of 2019 is unfamiliar and unsatisfactory, says chairman Bo Pinholt to the led.dk.
– It has, among others, influenced the outcome negatively, that we've had increased spending for the team in the staking on the remaining in the 3F League and has experienced a significant decline in matchday revenue and TV revenue.
in addition to the above reasons, also call transferindtægter had an influence. In 2018 had to 16.9 million dollars in nettotransferindtægter, but in 2019, it fell to 3.3 million dollars.
In these times rhymes with deficit of coronaviruses for many of them, but it has nothing to with Horsens' red numbers to make.
Coronavirusset have first hit Denmark in 2020 and has not had an impact on the club's 2019 statement. But it can get to the next accounts, says the president.
– We expect to get back on track in the upcoming year, we are once again budgeting with a surplus, " says Bo Pinholt.
– At the moment, however, we have, as you all know, a large uncertainty factor in the form of corona virus, and the resulting influences, and in spite of the government's various initiatives are it right now too early to assess the magnitude of the negative consequence of the 2020 financial statements.
Horsens is located immediately number ten in the 3F League, which is quiet because of coronavirusudbruddet. There remain two rounds of the base game.
