Mat Staver Slams 'Heresy' Of LGBTQ-Affirming Christians
By Peter Montgomery | May 26, 2017 1:44 pm
Liberty Counsel, the Orlando-based Religious Right law firm that has represented public officials who got into trouble for defying the Supreme Court's marriage equality ruling, put out a press release yesterday attacking Orlando pastor Joel Hunter for hosting an event on LGBTQ inclusion in the church.
In the press release, Liberty Counsel founder and chairman Mat Staver said it was "heresy" for Hunter to host The Reformation Project and its founder Matthew Vines, author of "God and the Gay Christian." Staver called Vines's views "an affront to Jesus and the Bible."
While Religious Right leaders are quick to portray criticism of their political agendas and tactics as an attack on their faith and freedom, they clearly have no problem attacking the faith of Christians who disagree with them. As we noted in March, the American Pastors Network devoted an entire radio show to trashing religious progressives and declaring that it is impossible for a "genuine" Christian to be part of the "religious left." A few years ago, the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins even suggested that Christians who support equality for gay people don't deserve the same legal protection as other Christians because "true religious freedom" only applies to "orthodox religious viewpoints."
Liberty Counsel describes itself as "an international nonprofit, litigation, education, and policy organization dedicated to advancing religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and the family since 1989, by providing pro bono assistance and representation on these and related topics." We're not sure where defining orthodoxy and heresy fits. There's nothing in Staver's press release that addresses any legal or policy issues, but we assume he is worried that the continued growth in acceptance of LGBTQ equality among American Christians will undermine the Religious Right's efforts to codify their anti-LGBTQ views in law.

We enable credit-worthy individuals to borrow directly from others in the UK. Every day, people around the UK encounter unexpected expenses that they had not budgeted for, but find they are ignored by traditional lenders. Creditworthy people need money quickly and only for a short period of time, but they often find they have nowhere to go for quick, safe, and reliable funds.

BREMERTON — Troy Wageman doesn't have much concern about the audience looking past him to the movie screen during his upcoming shadow-cast performance as Frank N. Furter at the Admiral Theatre.
"Well, I'm 6-foot-5," the Seattle-based actor said during a recent phone conversation. "Put me in heels and I'm, like, 6-8. "I'm not easy to miss."
Anyone who saw Bainbridge Performing Arts' 2017-18 season opener, "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," got a chance to see Wageman in heels. He played one of the three leads in the giddy jukebox musical, his most recent appearance there.
He's back on this side of the water to fill the heels — and iconic heels they are — of Frank N. Furter, the "Sweet Transvestite" lead character in the cult-movie favorite. The film gets an annual late-night screening at the Admiral, with a cast of live actors pantomiming their parts in front of the images on the screen.
He takes over for Charles Parnell, who announced he was leaving the role behind after eight years on the Admiral stage. According to director Richard Padro, the bulk of this year's cast — which hits the stage at 11:59 p.m. Oct. 20 for the Admiral tradition — are new. The returners are Michael Grimm Lamoreaux (Riff Raff), Kristopher W. Stafford (Criminologist) and Justine Rose Stillwell, who took over the role of Janet in 2017.
"I always thought it would be cool show to be in," said Wageman, who got his first exposure to "Rocky Horror" when castmates in his student show at Spokane's Shadle Park High School took him to a midnight movie, replete with shadow cast. "I know Justine a little, and we talked about it briefly at an audition we were both at. We're excited to be working together."
He got a chance when he saw a post from Seattle theater friend (and Padro's wife) Rebekah Padro for "Rocky Horror" auditions.
"I was at Theatre Puget Sound, holding auditions for another show I was doing," he said. "So I walked by their audition and told them I was available."
He said the role, which involves rehearsals for about a week prior to the performance, has had to fit in with a couple of other acting and directing projects.
"A little of the pressure is off because we don't have to memorize the lines," he said. "But the rest, you treat just like you would any other performance. It's serious. At any moment anyone could be watching you and not the movie."
Wageman has performed at the 5th Avenue Theatre, Village Theatre, ArtsWest and Sound Theater Company. BPA veterans will remember him there in the lead role of Sound Theater's "The Wild Party," which visited for a weekend in 2013. He's also worked in theaters in Houston, San Jose and other Seattle-area houses.
Seeing shadow-cast performances of "Rocky Horror" hardly prepared Wageman for the real thing, he admitted. But he's anxious for the experience.
"I was talking to Richard, and he said you feel like a rock star up there," he said. "The audience gets really excited.
"It's going to be a fun tradition to be a part of."


Resistance becomes visible once we start to see it operating in our psyche.
As the client of a depth psychologist back in the mid-1980's, I acquired a copy of The Basic Neurosis by Edmund Bergler. My therapist told me the book was important, and I was determined to read it. I did so for five or six pages and then, inexplicably, put it aside.
Over the following weeks, I occasionally remembered the book and my intention to read it. But by then I couldn't recall where I'd put it. I finally came across it six months later, tucked into an excellent hiding place, out of sight in a back shelf in my office.
In a classic case of psychological resistance, I had hidden the book from myself! I had not wanted to learn what it insisted was true, that unconsciously we're ready and willing to participate in our own misery.
Psychological resistance is like an invisible wall that stands between aspiring individuals and the actualized self they desperately want to become. Bringing this resistance into view is vitally important to our personal development.
People continually bump up against this wall, get knocked back on their duff, get back up, and incomprehensibly repeat the procedure ad infinitum. We don't even know we're bumping into a wall. We're just left feeling confused, dazed, and disoriented, unable to make any sense of recurring self-defeat or self-sabotage.
The experience of hiding the book from myself made resistance more visible to me. I could now understand resistance in a very personal way after realizing how it got the best of me. Because of the therapy I was getting, my resistance at that point had lessened somewhat. I was now more willing to recognize and resolve my unconsciousness determination to recycle and replay negative emotions such as feeling deprived, refused, helpless, criticized, and rejected.
When it comes to the psyche, people don't know what they don't know. In terms of resistance, they don't want to know what they don't know. We uncover this incredible fact as we examine our psyche under the microscope of depth psychology.
Resistance of a psychological kind is, essentially, an unconscious unwillingness to open one's awareness to the inner truth that exposes our hidden participation in emotional and behavioral problems. Everyday people, even the smartest among us, can be limited to a surprising degree by their resistance to seeing and overcoming hidden weaknesses, while people with borderline and mental health disorders can be exceedingly resistant to knowledge and strategies that could help them become healthy.
Psychological resistance is an aspect of human nature that not only forms an inner barrier but also causes people to act against their best interests. Under the influence of such resistance, we decline to shift away from our negative emotions, to change our bad habits, to initiate plans and strategies for self-fulfillment, and to open our minds to more objective consideration of our perceptions and beliefs.
I've previously written in passing about resistance but have hesitated to highlight it. From the start, people can be resistant to inner work, and I didn't want to discourage them with the idea that their first fledgling steps might require a steep ascent. It's nothing like that, as I'll make clear. I'm writing on the subject now because some clients have asked for more insight into it, and I hope to present the challenge of resistance as an adventurous climbing expedition rather than a mission impossible.
The biggest resistance is fear—and it's all irrational. Propping up our resistance is a stubborn, largely unconscious determination to avoid the anxious or fearful feelings of having our consoling, subjective perceptions and beliefs (the limited me with which we identify) challenged by truth and reality.
The fear is associated with the possibility that we'll discover disorienting self-knowledge. This involves the sense of being overwhelmed by the vast dimensions of our inner life and thereby losing our comforting associations and illusions. As well, our ego's pomposity can induce us to believe that we already know everything that could possibly be relevant or important.
Another cause of resistance is our repressed belief that something "bad" lurks within us, some wickedness we need to keep secret. This impression stems, in part, from the degree to which as young children we felt defined in terms of "badness" by our sexual instincts. Whether objectively or subjectively, children also can feel they're not being adequately appreciated or loved; they can personalize this impression, thereby believing that some abhorrent aspect of themselves, a dark notion of self they prefer to keep locked away, accounts for why they're not being more fully appreciated or loved.
While it's important to begin to recognize resistance, we certainly don't want to try to smash our way through it. Doing so intensifies inner conflict. Instead, we just have to watch for it, acknowledge it, and even show some begrudging respect for its existence as a facet of human nature. We do our best to recognize it, and then we try to proceed with confidence that it won't defeat us.
The invisible inner wall of resistance weaves its way from "coast to coast" inside our psyche. From whatever direction we come as we struggle to advance our consciousness, we encounter the wall. That means that a wide range of psychological dynamics—all our defenses, for instance, as well as our unresolved inner conflict—act as forms of resistance.
To be precise, there's more than one wall to climb. We get over the first one, advance contentedly for many miles, only to encounter another. This second wall, at least, is likely to be more visible and less imposing. Subsequent walls become even easier to scale. Getting over the first wall is the toughest slog.
Like walls of different composition, resistance takes many guises. It includes (1) inner conflict that produces anxiety, procrastination, and indecision; (2) psychological defenses such as cynicism and passive-aggressive reactions; (3) an unwillingness to consider new ideas; (4) a passive tendency to allow good intention and willpower to collapse; (5) a narrow focus on minor details or secondary issues that obscures the big picture, (6) a strong identification with our old, flawed self; (7) a stubborn unwillingness to do what's in our best interests; and (8) an unconscious determination, even compulsion, to produce self-defeat and self-sabotage. This subject of resistance could fill a large book.
Inner conflict (number one from the above list) takes the form of resistance because the symptoms of the conflict, as well as the conflict itself, are felt to be so intrinsic to one's nature, personality, and character. The emotional identifications and behavioral repercussions associated with inner conflict become our default sense of self. Dysfunctional individuals have difficulty maintaining or stabilizing themselves outside the realm of conflict and its ensuing negativity. They cling to an old conflicted sense of self because, while painful, it's still familiar and it thereby seemingly attests to who they are. When people resist inner growth by blaming their plight on others, this blame becomes both their defense and their resistance. Blaming is employed unconsciously to cover up one's unwillingness to let go of an old identity and its emotional attachments.
That's why people can be so resistant to new ideas. Insecure or neurotic people, rather than knowing themselves intrinsically through feelings, say, of goodness and integrity, tend to orient themselves around ideas and beliefs that validate their inner defensiveness. New ideas that challenge their old ones can strike at the fabric of their identity and threaten to undermine it. Some new ideas, of course, are more powerful than others. The notion that we're so willing to cling to negative emotions is one such new idea (it's not "new" per se, but new to most people).
Some of my readers have told me that, when reading my books, they find themselves becoming quite sleepy. My writing itself, I'll modestly suggest, is not the cause. The sleepiness is a form of resistance. In my own therapy 30 years ago, I would get drowsy when my therapist was correctly identifying my issues. When his best analyses were being presented, I would mysteriously "zone out" and stop hearing what he was saying. "Could you repeat that last part?" I often requested of him as I came back to my senses. One time, after he had astutely broken through one of my defenses, I snarled at him and said, "So what! Big deal!" It took a saintly therapist to put up with my resistance.

Pension Hommeles is een Nederlandse 'serie muzikale blijspelen', die oorspronkelijk tussen 5 oktober 1957 en 5 april 1959 werd uitgezonden. De serie wordt algemeen beschouwd als de eerste echte Nederlandse televisieserie. De reeks telt officieel 16 afleveringen, waarvan er echter slechts 9 bewaard zijn gebleven op film.

De serie is geschreven door Annie M.G. Schmidt en geproduceerd door Wim Ibo, die ook elke aflevering als verteller inleidt. De serie heet officieel Hommeles maar is in de volksmond altijd Pension Hommeles genoemd. Bij de latere afleveringen werd de serie ook op de titelrol Pension Hommeles genoemd.

Opzet
De serie gaat over een pension en over alles wat er zoal mis kan gaan tussen de bewoners.
Een paar onderwerpen staan door de serie heen centraal, zoals het (naderende) huwelijk van Floortje en Gijs, de opbloeiende relatie tussen Bella en Jasper, de strijd van de keurige Paula tegen haar onkreukbare imago en de verwondering over het Hollandse leven van werkstudent Dinky. Verder komen er per aflevering de nodige verwikkelingen voor.

Muziek
De liedjes werden gecomponeerd door Cor Lemaire, en live in de uitzending gespeeld door zijn kamer-kwartet. Voor zover bekend zijn de liedjes nooit op plaat of cd uitgebracht, met uitzondering van vier liedjes, waaronder "ik zou je 't liefste in een doosje willen doen", die door Donald Jones (als Donald "Dinky" Jones) op een ep'tje zijn gezet.

De tekst van de herkenningsmelodie is als volgt:

 't Is weer hommeles, 't is weer hommeles
 't Is weer hommeles, hommeles, hommeles, hommeles, hommeles!
 't Had zo mooi kunnen zijn, en zo heerlijk en zo fijn
 maar 't is weer hommeles, 't is weer hommeles
 't Had zo goed kunnen zijn, rozengeur en maneschijn
 maar 't is weer hommeles, 't is weer hommeles
 't Ziet er zo lief uit, maar je vergist je:
 al dat moois is een heel dun vernisje!
 Hei-hei-hei, kijk nou die rommel -es
 't is weer hommeles, hommeles, hommeles, hommeles, hom-me-les!

Uitzendingen
De meeste afleveringen werden uitgezonden door de VARA, maar op momenten dat die omroep geen uitzending had, nam de VPRO het programma over om de continuïteit te handhaven. De aflevering van 24 mei 1958 werd door de NTS uitgezonden.

Een aantal afleveringen is live uitgezonden en dus nooit opgenomen, van 9 afleveringen bestaat nog een registratie op film (een zogeheten telerecording). Een aantal van die bewaard gebleven afleveringen is eind jaren 80 herhaald, terwijl vier van de afleveringen al eerder, in de zomer van 1968, werden herhaald. In mei 2007 zijn op het digitale kanaal HilversumBest alle negen bewaard gebleven afleveringen in chronologische volgorde herhaald.

In 2009 werden de negen bewaard gebleven afleveringen uitgebracht op dvd als onderdeel van een "Annie M.G. Schmidt-collectie" waarin ook de opnames verschenen van de televisieseries Beppie en Pleisterkade 17.

In januari 2010 hield het digitale televisiekanaal Cultura 24 een speciale Annie M.G.Schmidt-maand. Tijdens deze maand zijn ook weer enkele afleveringen van Pension Hommeles uitgezonden.

In november 2011 herhaalt themakanaal Best 24 opnieuw een aantal afleveringen van de serie in het kader van 60 jaar TV.

P3s (Public-Private Partnerships), are simply another procurement tool in the legislative toolbox said John Parkinson. Such a tool "can be applied to something other than a road, a bridge or a tunnel… We have lots of examples of social infrastructure across the country where this has been successfully applied.
Parkinson, executive director of AIAI (Association for the Improvement of American Infrastructure), was speaking at the State House Commission meeting to explore the expansion of P3s in Rhode Island. He and Joseph Aiello, director of business development North America at Meridiam were the third presenters of the day.
In many ways the two corporate representatives reiterated what came before, but there was also a a sense that with the groundwork having been laid by the previous speakers, the blunt talk of what exactly these giant construction and finance corporations want from our state could be plainly stated.
And what was plainly stated is that these corporations have their eyes not just on our roads, bridges and airports, the are looking at our social infrastructure: our schools, our parks, our water and more.
At the commission meeting Parkinson presented a slide that showed that the corporations he represents are eyeing transportation infrastructure, municipal buildings, education, utilities, healthcare and senior living facilities, safety and security infrastructure (including police, fire, first responders and jails), disposal, leisure and cultural spaces and community use areas such as parks and open spaces.
To pave the way for this, our legislators are being asked to create, through legislation and regulation, a "project pipeline" that streamlines and standardizes the P3 process. One of the features of this pipeline is that it handicaps government oversight and involvement in the procurement process.
Again, there's that corporate distrust of democracy I noted in a previous piece in this series. These company officials want our procurement processes to be inviting, streamlined and pinned down in such a way as to require us to give up all our power at the front end so that the overly complicated and one-sided deal we are stuck with at the end of the process cannot be rejected once we realize what a stinker it is.
Every P3 will be crafted differently, not only in its scope, but in the legal and financial balances struck between the government and the corporation. On one side is a billion dollar corporation with some of the finest legal and financial minds in the world crafting a deal to maximize its profits and minimize its risk. On the other side is a municipal government that has voluntarily hamstrung itself with a streamlined procurement process and no legislative parachute. Think David versus Goliath, but David chopped off his arms before battle.
So if a municipality can't raise the funds for a project themselves, they shouldn't look to a P3 as a solution, begging the question, why look to a P3 at all? Looking at the slide shown by Parkinson entitled "Benefits of P3s," (below) it's hard to spot a benefit that a traditional procurement process can't bring.
"The use of P3s is not an excuse for the government to walk away from it's obligation to protect the public interest," cautioned Aiello. Instead, the government is expected to be very involved with the project.
But as we are starting to realize, P3s are far from nomal.

Are Ospreys telling us something?
The arrival of ospreys above the South Esk at Finavon may be announcing the arrival of our 2013 sea trout run. I say "may" only because I try to avoid putting a human slant on the behaviour of natural species. But it does seem that healthy ospreys, no doubt feeding their young somewhere nearby, will be looking for food and the arrival of sea trout averaging more than 2lbs seems just too good to miss.

The most competent of sea trout fishers!
I hope that my next blog may announce our first sea trout of 2013. Malcolm Taylor had a brief contact with a fresh sea trout of about 3lbs earlier in the week, which is the closest anyone has yet got to catching one this season.

Saratoga & North Creek Railway's tracks up for auction
By John Cropley | January 24, 2022
An excursion train runs along the Hudson River in 2012. The rail company has ended service.
ADIRONDACKS — A 30-mile section of train track leading into the Adirondacks is up for auction.
The track and its easement running from North Creek to Tahawus are the primary asset of the Saratoga & North Creek Railway, which ceased operation in early 2018 and removed its equipment from the site.
The S&NC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in March 2020 and Chapter 11 liquidation in September 2021. William A. Brandt Jr. of DSI Consulting is the Chapter 11 trustee.
He said Monday that he has received inquiries from potential bidders interested in using the line to resume freight service to the titanium mine that the line was built to serve.
The trackage may appear to be in rough shape, but it is still usable, he said.
"Railroads everywhere require continual maintenance and that has not been done in a while," Brandt said. "We actually can run cars across the entire line, albeit at reduced speed."
One reason for its durability is that it was commissioned by the federal government, which needed ready access to the titanium at Tahawus to support production needs during World War II. It has a 125-pound rail, which is heavy for such an application, Brandt said.
"They way over-engineered it," he added.
There's two more segments totaling about 60 miles between North Creek and Saratoga Springs, one owned by Warren County, one owned by the town of Corinth. A train would have to travel the entire length to get freight to the interconnection with the Canadian Pacific and the rest of the continent.
Because the railway is designated a common carrier, the two other track owners can't refuse operations on the rails, Brandt said, but negotiations may not be necessary. Brandt said he's heard reports that one or both municipalities might want to sell their trackage, and he's heard directly from potential bidders that they'd try to make such a purchase.
"I believe that the southern two segments will quickly thereafter be engaged in discussions," he said.
None of this would preclude the return of tourist trains, which have operated on various parts of the line with various operators.
The potential freight operations at this point would be limited to loading hopper cars at Tahawus by day and hauling them out at night, and possibly serving Barton Garnet Mine in the same manner, Brandt said.
Such a purchase would, however, preclude the tracks being torn up and the right of way replaced by a mix-use recreation trail, which is an option Brandt doesn't support.
"I have spent a lot of time with the local officials," he said. "Their line to me is, the forest has an abundant amount of hiking trails.
There's no crying need for yet one more."
There is, he said, a crying need for more good jobs in the region such as the ones that a working railroad would support, as well as a national security interest in keeping the mines along the route viable.
The Bankruptcy Court on Jan. 13 approved an amended bankruptcy plan that includes a requirement that the buyer preserve future operation of rail service along the 29.71-mile stretch north of North Creek.
Bidding is open through midnight Feb. 23 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Colorado.

Copper ore an invaluable mineral source for all countries. Copper ore is definitely an ore that may produce copper metal by crushing in ore crushing plant, grinding in Ball mill and smelting in the furnace and also a bit of tin ore. DM can be a professional manufacturer of copper ore grinding equipment and crushing equipment.
Copper ore crusher is as important crushing equipment during copper ore processing, after the copper ore is baste from the open pit mining. Because the stripping ratio is different from location to location, the miner need ore crushers to crush the large copper ore rocks in to small ones, even powder. The copper ore crusher will crush the copper ore into walnut-sized pieces such as less than 25 centimeters in diameter, and the grinding mill will grind the copper ore into fine powder usually containing less than 1 percent copper.

Q: Can Visual Studio 2013 show mixins from referenced files When I hover over a mixin it shows me the properties, which is awesome!
However, I have many referenced files and it does not show those. It says, "Undeclared mixin". Seems this would be a standard feature considering that many break up styles into like sections (reset, grid, fonts, etc.).
thanks.

A: If I understand you correctly, you have imported less files and you would like to get intelliSense on things like mixins and variables when you hover over them.
This can be done by referencing the files in the same way you would with JavaScript files.
Example
/// <reference path="mixins.less" />

@import "mixins.less";

.some-mixin;

You can now hover over the mixin and see what it does!

VENGEROV'S VIEWS | Maxim Vengerov on Harmonic Thinking to Discover Your Own Interpretation
In this, the last of eight teaching classes, violinist Maxim Vengerov discusses how harmonic thinking can help you to discover your own interpretation
To help celebrate the launch of our new site, and the re-launch of Maxim Vengerov's new website, maximvengerov.com, over the past weeks the superstar violinist, teacher, and conductor, has been guest presenting a series of exclusive teaching advice classes for our readers, teachers, and students everywhere.
Accompanied by helpful teaching videos that demonstrate key concepts, Maxim covers a wide range of topics including sound, left and right-hand technique, bowing, breathing, harmony and structure, and interpretation.
In today's eighth and last lesson, Maxim discusses harmonic thinking to discover your own interpretation.
Discover the whole series, and be sure to share the classes with your own students and friends, and let us know how Maxim's advice has helped you on your journey to learn more.
Like architecture, music has structure and form. When you see a cathedral, for example, you approach from a distance and this overall structure is your first impression - the size, shape, key features like a spire, and so on. You only see the details as you come closer - the entrance, ornamental elements, etc. - and begin to appreciate how these fit together to form the structure of the whole.
However, in music, this big-picture view is not the listener's first impression, it is the final impression. Why? Because it is revealed over time. There is a narrative: we cannot know at the beginning how the story finishes, or appreciate how masterfully a plot twist is woven in, until the end has finally been revealed to us.
It is part of our job as the performer to understand the narrative of a musical work, and to convey this convincingly to the audience. A compelling interpretation will reflect not only an intellectual understanding of how a work is constructed, but also artistic decisions about how to bring this across in the moment of performance. (This is like how an actor reading a story might use different voices to help the listener understand the different characters, or modulate the tone of their voice when something important is happening.)
Of course, interpretation is multifaceted and is also informed by many additional diverse factors. In this post I will focus on how thinking about structure and harmony in music can help shape interpretation, and share with you some recommendations for how to uncover these aspects of a work for yourself and communicate them clearly to the listener.
Musical building blocks and how they connect
"Constructing in your mind the bigger picture of a musical work requires understanding its different components and their relative priority."
In a building, the most important components are the foundation and load-bearing structural elements, because without these, it would collapse. In music, the harmony, rhythm, and structure (i.e. musical form) serve the same purpose - these are the vertical elements. In baroque music, for instance, the bass line is the foundation upon which chords are built. Each chord, each individual harmony, is like a different pillar supporting the overall building, but still with its own weight and identity.
However, these vertical harmonic pillars do not exist in isolation; they are connected to each other as part of a bigger musical structure. The musical phrase bridges between them, like a cat weaving its way from one pillar to the next, or an electrical cable arcing across transmission towers - this is the horizontal element. Harmonies are also related to one another within the broader context of the tonality of the work. The home key, for example, has a different sense and importance compared to a more foreign harmony.
Thinking in this way, you can start to connect the harmonic pillars together in your mind into bigger building blocks of harmonic progressions and phrases. Then, these in turn also connect together within the context of the musical form of a work (e.g. sonata form). The main theme, for example, has a different importance to an introduction, motif or bridging passage between themes. Then, the different movements of a larger work also complement one another to form the whole.
So, there are many different levels on which to analyse a work, from a single chord to the overall structure, and within each level there are different priorities.
Forming your conception of a work
"Working with the full score and also away from your instrument will help you put your part in perspective."
To discover for yourself the structure and building blocks of a musical composition, I recommend to first study the score, without your instrument.
Work with the full score, not only your part. As the violin is primarily a melodic instrument, we usually play with other musical partners. If you work with only the violin part and form your musical ideas based on this, you will miss most of the magic hidden in the harmonies and the interplay of the parts. It would be like learning lines for Hamlet without knowing what the other characters are saying. Furthermore, you may find many of your ideas might not make sense when it comes to the first rehearsal together with your musical partners - making a lot of your practice simply not valid!
Working with the score, analyze the harmonies and form of the composition, and identify the different building blocks of the work and how the composer has fitted them together. Ask yourself: Which elements are important, and which are secondary? Where are the irregularities? For example: an unexpected dissonance, a rhythmic irregularity (e.g. syncopation or a hemiola), or a structural anomaly (e.g. a 9-bar phrase when an 8-bar phrase would have been expected). As performers, we are like treasure hunters, always looking for the magic in the music and seeking the most effective way to share this with our audience.
Once you have sketched the main outline of the work in your mind, you can start to work on bringing this to life. Exploring at the piano, playing the different parts separately and together, can help train your ear to how your part fits in.
I also recommend trying to sing the other parts whilst playing your part on the violin. This is a very challenging exercise (and you may prefer to do it when nobody is listening!). Practising in this way is particularly useful for sections where other parts have the main theme and you are accompanying. Singing the theme whilst playing your accompaniment forces you to hold both in your mind at the same time, and to listen well while you play. The accompaniment should not be passive; it should closely complement and support the theme, and sometimes even lead the way.
Playing chamber music will help you hone these skills even further, and will refine the way you play and interpret solo repertoire. Students sometimes forget about chamber music in the quest to become a soloist, but it is a very important part of developing your sensitivities as a good musician.
Communicating your conception of a work to the audience
"Plan well during your preparation, but remember that performance is the true moment of creation."
To fully absorb the complexities of a work and make it our own, we need to understand it on many different levels, from the small details to the overall bird's-eye view. The key structural elements of a work are fixed, like landmarks on a map, and you should analyse and know them well. But this deeper understanding of the work is only the starting point for spontaneous creation in the moment of performance.
It can be easy to get lost in the details, focusing too much on individual moments and losing sight of how these fit together. This can translate to a performance which is hard for a listener to follow. The simplicity of a clear vision and overarching narrative can sometimes be more compelling than a series of seemingly random or rhapsodic ideas one after the other, no matter how interesting or beautiful each may be. Decide on your priorities during the process of working with the score, and try not to get too lost in the moment when you play.
When you play alone (e.g. works for violin solo), the interpretation belongs to you, and you are your own boss. But when you play with others, the interpretation does not belong to you any more, it belongs to everyone. You and your partners interact and integrate your individual parts together into a shared interpretation, according to the composer's wishes.
This means you must always keep one ear listening carefully to the other parts as you play, and react to what you hear. Listen from the bass, the foundation, and try to feel the whole harmony, and where your part fits in. (This is where practising well will serve as very good preparation, because you will already have trained yourself to listen well while you play.)
Savour the irregularities, and use the many resources at your disposal to highlight these moments for the audience - for example, changing the vibrato, speed of the bow, and so on. Even if it is the hundredth time you play a piece, try not to take anything for granted. Think from the perspective of a listener who has never heard the work before, like it is the world premiere.
However, despite careful and meticulous planning, always leave room for new possibilities during the performance itself. Our interpretation should not be rigid, or fixed - we must leave room for spontaneity, and react to our partners and the environment in which we play. Sometimes we plan one thing, but are inspired to make a different decision in the moment, or we discover something new. Performance is the moment of creation. Planning is not creation, it is just a sketch.
As performers, it is our task to bring the audience on a journey with us, and share with them the message and story behind the music. Musical works, especially larger-scale ones, generally have an underlying structure binding the different elements together into a single cohesive unit. This added level of abstraction adds complexity and new dimensions to the musical message, and is the scaffolding necessary to support the beauty and grandeur of a bigger vision. It is this connection of vertical and horizontal which forms the fabric of the musical landscape.
I hope these recommendations give some useful practical advice on how to think about and prioritize the structural and harmonic building blocks of a musical score. In this way, you start to think like a composer must think. By making informed choices about the relative significance of the different elements as you feel it, you form your own interpretation of the composer's intentions. Your conviction and understanding of a work is what will come across to your audience, and what will ultimately deepen their experience and appreciation of the music.

PROFESSIONALS IN HEALTHCARE
Serving a greater purpose
by Peh Yi Wen, 11/07/2020
Ensuring her mask is worn properly and front counters are clean and sanitised are the first two steps Ms VijayaSharmini takes at 8am every morning. She does this in the wards of Yishun Community Hospital, where she is based as a patient service associate before the opening of Woodlands Health Campus in 2022.
The 33-year-old found it a challenge to adjust to this drastic change in environment, having previously held administrative roles that mainly involved the handling of clerical paperwork in an office.
But it didn't take Ms VijayaSharmini long to find her groove. Integrating the organisational skills she developed from eight years of administrative work experience into her current workflow came naturally. This helped her to plan and complete her tasks efficiently.
Her responsibilities involve scheduling medical appointments and expediting urgent requests, and providing financial counselling to patients and their families. She also works closely with nurses and doctors to ensure admission and discharge cases are handled smoothly every day.
Learning on the job
While she does encounter patients who get frustrated over language barriers when she ex- plains billing and procedures for their stay, Ms VijayaSharmini's language skills have come in handy. Her ability to speak some Mandarin, Hokkien and Malay often eases the tension and enables her to understand her patients' needs better.
"Other than improving my overall communication skills with both colleagues and patients in this new role, I am also striving to learn and understand more medical and clinical terminologies so that I am able to explain them to patients clearly," she says.
Fulfilling journey
No two days at the hospital are the same for Ms VijayaSharmini. Working at the frontline gives her the opportunity to interact with people from all walks of life.
While she often lends a listening ear to troubled patients who share their life stories, others have also given her words of appreciation and encouragement.
But nothing warms her heart and gives her a sense of satisfaction than witnessing the recovery of patients as they are discharged from the hospital.
Being in the healthcare sector in the thick of the Covid-19 pandemic also made Ms VijayaSharmini realise the important role every frontliner plays, as she sees individuals coming together to work as a team.
She adds: "What I love most about my work environment is being able to call my team my family. The doctors, nurses and colleagues are always happy to assist me despite hectic schedules in the ward."
To those inspired to join the healthcare industry, she encourages them to take the leap into this meaningful vocation where you can make a difference in the lives of others, regardless of your role.

They say you can never go home again….. | Adventures Unleashed!
They say you can never go home again…..
January 1, 2018 / AdventuresUnleashed!
Yes, the desert has exploded with new homes, shopping centers, golf courses, schools etc. but it still felt like coming home. I miss the desert, though I'm not sure I could deal with the hot summers anymore.
The first week and 2 days I'm spending at the Indio Elks. $25 for power and water. Level sites, small citrus laden, grassy patch. There are some nice dog parks in the area, and you can walk to a grassy depression to walk your dogs. I, however, prefer heading out into the desert.
The location of this lodge is very convenient to most everything. Laundry and grocery store are within walking distance. Costco and Walmart are close. Lots of shopping, anything you need.
Another huge plus is there are mobile wash/wax companies that show up at the lodge. Really reasonable rates, wash/wax for my RV was $250 (and it was badly oxidized), $60 to wash/wax the Jeep.
I had most of my issues with my RV taken care of in Fontana. I have a couple more problems that I will address when we get to Arizona. I still have to have my HWH leveling jacks fixed, as well as remove or stow a extended stay propane tank line, and my toilet is still leaking somewhere when I'm moving.
I did need to get my Jeep's headlights (new LED) aimed as they were blinding oncoming traffic and whomever I was behind. I looked online and decided to take it to Crawlur Offroad https://www.crawluroffroad.com/ here in Indio. I chose them because I was hoping they could also fab some screens for my windows. With only 2 windows that roll down the interior of the Jeep can really heat up, even though I had all the windows tinted. Stan, the owner, also let me know that my shocks were shot and that I really needed to replace my Jeep tires that were over 11 years old. Sigh. I do so well with being careful spending my money and then my vehicles sabotage me!
I highly recommend Stan, if you are in the area. He made some great window screens, replaced my shocks and aimed my headlights (which also had a bulb installed wrong). He also came out to where the RV was parked, measured and made a part so that I would be able to get my spare tire down. Now, I will have an available spare in case I ever have a flat again (hopefully never!).
There is a nice dog park here in Indio. It's right across from a reclamation facility (fondly known as the Turd Farm…thanks forever for that one, Todd Legg!). If you need to dump your black/gray tanks this is an easy access, free facility.
Anyway, the dog park…. It's called Mulligan Dog park. It's separates the small dogs from the large.
There is a staging area going into both sides.
It is almost always empty, one dog showed up when we were done on the first visit. It's a large grassy areas with places to sit. Unfortunately, it appears that some people don't watch their dogs…as there are droppings here and there that weren't picked up. There really is no excuse, multiple stations with poop bags and garbage cans.
In preparation for the fireworks I know are going to happen on New Years (there were some on Christmas) I decided to move up to Lake Cahuilla State Park. Fireworks are illegal here, as well as in La Quinta, Indian Wells, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage and Palm Springs. Unfortunately, Indio allows them and also many of the residents think it's a great idea to shoot off their guns. I'll continue my blog from my new location.
Just curious…what were the temps? I have no idea what they would be there this time of year, and was wondering how the dogs take the change from WA temps.

Exclusive interview: Johnny Gargano issues a final warning to Tommaso Ciampa
In 2015, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa joined NXT's Tag Team scene armed with an optimism for the future and undeniable vigor to succeed. Fast-forward three years, and one would be hard-pressed to find both Superstars peacefully co-existing in the same room. This Saturday night, NXT TakeOver: Chicago II will mark the battlefield on which Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa will attempt to settle their deep-rooted, vitriolic rivalry once and for all. As he prepares to make the trip to The Windy City, Gargano sat down with WWE.com for a final pre-match Q&A.
WWE.COM: Your highly anticipated match with Tommaso Ciampa is rapidly approaching. Why is this match different to you than your last bout in New Orleans?
JOHNNY GARGANO: I needed to win that last match. I needed to defeat Tommaso Ciampa in the middle of the ring to get my NXT career back. Yes, it was unsanctioned, but I knew after it was over that the war was just beginning. With the mindset I'm in and everything that has escalated from that moment, from costing me my NXT Title shot to putting me back in the hospital and bringing my wife into this. Our match in New Orleans will look like a walk in the park compared to this Street Fight.
In a desperate bid to get back in NXT, Johnny Gargano viciously unloads on Tommaso Ciampa: Courtesy of the award-winning WWE Network.
WWE.COM: How do you feel about the irony of this match taking place in the same city that Ciampa turned on you a year ago?
GARGANO: I believe that everything happens for a reason. One year ago, my "best friend" blindsided me and turned my world upside-down in Chicago. I left the Allstate Arena in an ambulance, I woke up in a hospital bed and had no idea what happened or who put me there. This time around, I have the very rare opportunity to return the favor. I want him to take that same ambulance ride and wake up in that same hospital bed alone and afraid. I want Ciampa to feel every ounce of pain and horror I did, except he's going to know deep down inside exactly who put him there.
I want him to take that same ambulance ride and wake up in that same hospital bed alone and afraid.

WWE.COM: How much has it meant to you both personally and professionally to have your wife, Candice, by your side?
GARGANO: It means everything. Candice has been my light in the darkness this war has brought on.
WWE.COM: How close were yourself and Tommaso before things went sour?
GARGANO: Our bond was no secret. We shared an apartment in Orlando, Fla. Ciampa was in my wedding to Candice. The NXT Universe watched our friendship blossom from the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic to winning the NXT Tag Titles at NXT TakeOver: Toronto. Our friendship was not manufactured; it was very personal and very real.
WWE.COM: Do you ever wish you and Tommaso were still best friends?
GARGANO: The man who was my "best friend" and tag team partner died in the Allstate Arena a year ago. Maybe this is just who he has been the whole time, I don't know. But I have absolutely no remorse or regret left in my heart for that man.
WWE.COM: What is your objective at NXT TakeOver: Chicago?
GARGANO: I have one objective: End Tommaso Ciampa. I don't want to win. The minute he taps out or his shoulders are pinned to the mat, and that bell rings and the match is over and I can't touch him —that's the easy way out for him. This match ends when he does.
WWE.COM: If you could deliver one last message to Tommaso Ciampa, what would it be?
GARGANO: I told you that you had no idea what you've created. Johnny Wrestling will not be in Chicago. I'm not coming for a wrestling match. I'm coming for a fight. When I saw that blood drip from your head, I realized exactly what I needed to become to finish this once and for all. It takes a Psycho Killer to destroy a Psycho Killer.

Q: C: Reasons why a passed parameter is NULL after function call to a different module I've a curious behavior in a C program. I pass a few arguments to a function with the following signature in a file called foo.c:
foo (char *first, size_t a, size_t b, size_t c, char *last);

Now, when I call this function from another C file that includes foo.h, e.g. with:
foo("first value", 1, 2, 3, "last value");

in foo first, a, b, c are correct but last is always NULL.
It does not matter what kind of type I use as the last parameter nor from where I call this function (even directly in main without any previous operations).
The files are compiled and linked together in one executable.
When I put foo () in the same source file from where it is called everything works.
Does anyone have an idea what might be the reason why when the function is outsourced the last parameter is NULL?

A: Without seeing the code, my guess would be that your function declaration (in the header) is out of whack with the definition (in the source file).

A: thanks for the quick responses,
litb's hint was correct. In another header file I missed to include size_t was redefined. So basically one source file used a 32bit and another one a 64bit size_t datatype.
(could not post any code because the customer is kind of icky with that)
