There is a burgeoning discussion theorising our rights to privacy in an age when we use social media every day, but are increasingly subject to data collection and targeting by corporate advertising, government agencies, and workplaces. Understanding, negotiating and maintaining digital rights to privacy is an issue of concern for both social justice, and individual, civil rights.
This lecture analyses an original online survey of 1600 broadly representative Australians that asked them about their attitudes towards digital rights and governance. The University of Sydney analysed attitudes towards privacy in the online environment; how people navigate the shifting boundaries between what data is considered private, and what is considered public, and how people view the development of more fine-grained targeting of content. They also focused on attitudes toward current and prospective employers looking at public and private social media accounts of employees. The survey data was complemented by an online discussion group with 14 participants designed to qualitatively understand attitudes to real world digital rights scenarios. Overall, they found that most believe they are still entitled to privacy in the digital context but that this is nuanced in online spaces where data is both collected and targeted at them every day. Many of their participants are concerned by their privacy being increasingly encroached upon by governments and employers. Their research suggests that data justice discussions need to include citizen viewpoints on how access to digital privacy at home and at work is shaping everyday digital rights.

Historical Beginnings
Joseph Smith claimed that he had a visit from God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, in 1820. He said they told him that all churches were wrong and were an abomination to God and that he should not join any of them. He said that when he told his community about God's visit, it initiated his fierce persecution.
Later he said that he received visits from the angel Moroni who, Joseph Smith said, was a resurrected being who had died close to Smith's area in New York State about 1,400 years earlier. Moroni, Joseph Smith asserted, had buried a record of his people (who allegedly lived on the American continent from about 600 BC to about 421 A.D.) in New York, in the Hill Cumorah. That record, Joseph Smith was told, would be given to him to translate. A few years later, Joseph Smith said that he received the record written on gold plates in "reformed Egyptian" — a language that no one but he could understand. He was also told not to show these gold plates to anyone but that at a later date, a few selected people would be given the privilege to view them. He said that he then translated the plates and published the material as the Book of Mormon and gave the gold plates back to the angel Moroni.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints claims that the name of the church was given to Joseph Smith by revelation. When Smith first organized the church in 1830, however, it was called the Church of Christ. Four years later the name was changed to the Church of Latter-day Saints. In 1838 it was changed again, this time to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as it is known today.
Joseph Smith claimed that he received many revelations from God, and he began to introduce many new doctrines to his new Church; one of the doctrines was polygamy, a practice that Smith denied publicly but practiced secretly. That doctrine was the obvious downfall of Joseph Smith, and he was killed in 1844 as a result of the polygamy controversy.
Now let's go back and look at the above information a little closer and in detail.
Joseph Smith claimed that after he had seen a vision of God the Father and Jesus Christ, he told it first to a Methodist preacher, and that started the entire community, "all men of high standing" and "the great ones of the most popular sects," to persecute him bitterly—he being only a boy of 14! One would think that kind of commotion would have caused someone somewhere to write about it. One would think that at least the Palmyra newspaper would have written something, since Joseph Smith claimed that "all men" were united to bring "bitter and reviling persecution" against him. Not many important events took place in that little town—even unimportant gossip was printed—but one searches in vain, from 1820 on, to find an account about a young boy's vision or persecution.
A search also fails to find a story regarding the revival excitement that Smith later claimed was the reason he went to the grove to seek God in prayer and where he received this fantastic vision. Joseph Smith said that he was told twice in this vision not to join any of the religions (see The Pearl of Great Price: Joseph Smith—History 1:5-26); however, it is interesting to note that in 1823 Joseph's mother, sister, and two brothers joined the Presbyterian Church, and Joseph himself later sought membership in the Methodist Church, where his wife was a member. Records show that Joseph was expelled in 1828 because of his belief in magic and also because of his "money-digging activities."
Joseph's newly organized church started to publish its history, as events took place, in a publication called the Messenger and Advocate. Oliver Cowdery was the main writer, and its accuracy was checked by Joseph Smith himself. In this publication, Joseph tells how—after his brother Alvin's death, and after his mother, sister, and two brothers had joined the Presbyterian Church—he started to seek religion and to pray "if some Supreme Being existed" (Messenger and Advocate 1:79). (If he had had a vision of God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ in 1820, he most certainly would have known by 1823 or 1824 that a Supreme Being existed.) By reading diaries, records, newspapers, etc., one seeks in vain to find any mention of this so-called "First Vision" story until 1842, when it was published in Times and Seasons, 22 years after this vision supposedly took place. It becomes quite obvious that this report was an afterthought, since "the Vision-story" talks about two separate gods, and the Book of Mormon says that there is only one God, and that Jesus, God the Father, and the Holy Ghost are this one God. (Examples: Alma 11:26-33; 18:26- 28; Mosiah 15:1,2,5, etc.)
The Doctrine and Covenants (hereafter noted as D&C), (previously called the Book of Commandments) was published in 1835 and it included The Lectures of Faith, given in the School of the Prophets, named in the title page of the D&C as "Theology, the Doctrine of the Church of The Latter Day Saints, Section I." (These Lectures of Faith, containing seven lectures, were approved by a Conference vote of the Mormon Church, August 17, 1835, and were included in all English editions of the D&C until 1921, when they were—without explanation or vote—removed.) Lecture 5 says that God is a Spirit and only the Son has a body of flesh and bones. The Lectures are available as a separate small book, with an added footnote to Lecture 5, reporting that Joseph Smith received "further light" on April 2, 1843 (see D&C 130:22), and only then came to know that God the Father also had a body of flesh and bones. That statement alone reveals that there was no vision of the Father and the Son in 1820. Had there been one, Joseph would not have needed "further light" to learn, 23 years after this famed "First Vision," about the Father also having a body of flesh and bones.
It was not until 1844 that Joseph started to preach about a god who was once a man and progressed into godhood, and how men can also become gods (see Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 345-47). Thus, there is absolutely no evidence for the "First Vision" as it appears in The Pearl of Great Price or that The Vision was known to Mormons or non-Mormons prior to 1842, when it was published for the first time. It was not until the 1880s that this story was accepted by the Church. Prior to that time, we are able to read only denials about it. For example, in Journal of Discourses 2:171 (hereafter J of D), Brigham Young preached a sermon in 1855, in which he said,
Lord did not come…to Joseph Smith, but sent His angel…to inform him that he should not join any religious sect of the day, for they were all wrong….
John Taylor later said the same thing (see J of D: 20:167) on March 2, 1879. Heber C. Kimball said in J of D (6:29),
Do you suppose that God in person called upon Joseph Smith, our prophet? God called upon him, but did not come Himself….
George A. Smith told the same story in J of D (12:33- 34). One wouldn't really have to dig any deeper than that to find out that the claims of the LDS Church today regarding Joseph Smith's so-called "First Vision" are not true, according to documentary evidence of the time. Joseph Smith—and these facts —should be exposed, just as Joseph Fielding Smith said they should be.
Early Mormon apostle Orson Pratt made a statement concerning the Book of Mormon:
This book (Book of Mormon) must be either true or false. If true, it is one of the most important messages ever sent from God….If false, it is one of the most cunning, wicked, bold, deep-laid impositions ever palmed upon the world, calculated to deceive and ruin millions…. The nature of the message in the Book of Mormon is such that, if true, no one can possibly be saved and reject it; if false, no one can possibly be saved and receive it…if, after a rigid examination, it be found imposition, it should be extensively published to the world as such; the evidences and arguments on which the imposture was detected should be clearly and logically stated, that those who have been sincerely yet unfortunately deceived may perceive the nature of deception, and to be reclaimed, and that those who continue to publish the delusion may be exposed and silenced…by strong and powerful arguments—by evidences adduced from scripture and reason…. (Orson Pratt's Works, Divine Authenticity of the Book of Mormon, Liverpool, 1851, pp. 1-2)
In this booklet, we hope to show clearly and logically— even though very briefly—that the Book of Mormon is not a divinely inspired record, but rather is a nineteenth-century product. Joseph Smith claimed that after he translated the gold plates, he returned them to an angel—so there is no way to inspect them or check the accuracy of the translation.
Mormons often refer to the witnesses of the Book of Mormon. Most of these men later left the Church, but claims are also made that even though they did, they never denied that they had seen an angel who showed them "the plates of the Book of Mormon." However, in J of D (7:164), Brigham Young stated that
…witnesses of the Book of Mormon, who handled the plates and conversed with the angels of God, were afterwards left to doubt and to disbelieve that they had ever seen an angel.
Joseph Smith himself called these men wicked, and liars, and by many other demeaning names. In J of D (7:114-15), George A. Smith lists those who have left the Church and mentions specifically "the witnesses of the Book of Mormon." Martin Harris later claimed that he had a better testimony of the "Shakers Book" than he ever had of the Book of Mormon. Reading about these witnesses, one is drawn to the conclusion that they were unstable men and easily convinced. For example, Martin Harris changed his religion at least eight times. Some of the others (perhaps taking a cue from Joseph Smith) even started their own religious denominations later.

Too Old for the Chorus is a smart, funny musical revue about men and women who find themselves suddenly 50!
Set in their neighborhood retro coffee shop, five characters express in 18 musical numbers the gamut of their frustrations and joys – from troublesome relations with still demanding parents and cutting edge technology to finding delight in second careers (and second chances), getting smarter, and finally knowing that "Age is just a Number." The title celebrates life, finding fulfillment and being appreciated for exactly who you are – all while getting a senior discount.
For more information on the show, please visit www.toooldforthechorus.com.
"The show hits a marketing sweet spot. It plays to the vast baby boom generation... but its appeal isn't limited to that audience. As with Avenue Q, the topics here are universal... Time and again, ache gives way to good humor and renewed determination... You'll leave rethinking 50 as 27, with 23 years of experience."
"Musical theatre doesn't get much better than this. With literate lyrics that rival Cole Porter and Noel Coward."
"A little show with a big heart... The numbers reverberate with wit and humanity."
"...a smart, funny and sometimes touching exploration of the challenges and joys of aging."
"Baby Boomers will find resonance and uplift... in this unpretentiously enjoyable valentine to aging contentedly."
"A lively musical revue... the evening just flies by!"
Premiere Production: Too Old For The Chorus, But Not Too Old To Be A Star had its world premiere in Los Angeles in March 1999 at the Celebration Theatre under Artistic Director Bob Schrock. The performance was directed by Bob Schrock and choreographed by Chrissy Bucchino.
SHIRLEY – 58-65. A beautiful life force who's "been there and done that" and still has lots of life to live - because to her, "Age Is Just A Number." A cross between Shirley MacLaine and Elaine Stritch.
BOBBY – 50. A Broadway gypsy whose body is starting to wear out, so he's pondering his options. Boyishly handsome, well-dressed and gay – he still can dance and knock 'em dead.
GLENN – 58-65. A former surfing star – now a little out of shape who welcomes the anonymity that age and a belly has given him. An optimist all the way, the martini glass is always half full to him.
FAITH – 45. A spunky former fire-baton-twirling Miss Ohio. Her husband recently left her for a younger woman and her two kids are in college. She's looking for a new beginning. Age has handed her the unexpected challenge of early menopause.
JAMES – 50-55. A former business whiz-kid who is losing out to the techno-savvy generation. Three strikes in the marriage department and his mental acuity is starting to go. Think James Naughton or Tom Wopat.
BARRY – Young. A barista at the coffee shop. He has no lines, but responds to lines and does certain stage business.

Likewise, French President Emanuel Macron also claimed the strikes target Syria's capability to launch chemical attacks.
"We cannot tolerate the normalization of the use of chemical weapons," he said in a statement issued shortly after huge explosions were heard in Damascus early Saturday followed by the sound of airplanes overhead.
The three countries used an alleged chemical attack in the Eastern Ghouta suburb of Damascus last week as a pretext for their military action. They blame the Syrian government for the attack, without offering any evidence.
Syria has strongly rejected any role in the suspected attack, which came just as the Syrian army was about to declare full victory against the militants operating in the region.
The NATO military alliance also voiced support for the military action.
"I support the actions taken by the United States, the United Kingdom and France," NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in a statement, claiming … the campaign will reduce the ability of Syria to launch chemical attacks.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strikes hit bases and chemical research centers around the capital Damascus.
Syrian state TV said the attack hit the country's army depots in the area of Homs, adding that Syrian air defense systems shot down 13 missiles.
A Reuters witness said that at least six loud explosions were heard in Damascus with smoke rising over the Syrian capital where a second witness said the Barzah district, the location of a major Syrian scientific research center, was also hit in the strikes.
US Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis said in a press briefing that the air strikes on targets in Syria were a "one time shot," noting that future strikes will depend on whether the Syrian government uses chemical weapons.
The Pentagon chief added that the US and its allies struck Syria harder than they did last year.
General Joseph Dunford, the highest-ranking officer in the US military, said Russia's forces in Syria had been warned through existing "deconfliction" channels that Western planes would be in Syrian air space.
There have been contradictory reports on the number of missiles fired on Syria. A pro-Syrian government official said 30 missiles were fired, but the Pentagon put the number at 100.


Years ago, I remember watching a French movie about war. In all honesty, that's about all I remember, except for this one scene in the middle of a snowy field with an officer in blue standing in the middle. The actors spoke in French, and being fluent in French myself, I followed along as best I could. What I didn't quite catch, I would refer to the english subtitles in order to interpret.
Because I was so focused on understanding what the characters were saying, I missed a lot of what was actually happening in the film. I do remember that it was amazing though.
This week in A.P. World History, we were assigned group projects. My partners and I were assigned a prompt asking us to compare what our textbook told us about WWI to the song "Christmas in the Trenches" by John McCutcheon. As I listened to the song, I suddenly realized that the scene being set by the singer was one somewhat familiar to the movie I had seen years before, Joyeux Noel.
This week, my research has helped me to understand why that movie was so amazing. I had no idea that it was reenacting the Christmas Truce of 1914, where soldiers on a battlefield during WWI called an unofficial truce for the holidays.
At first I wondered why this was so important, until I looked up the lyrics to the song "Christmas in the Trenches". In one line, the soldier narrating the song said "whose family have I fixed within my sights?". I realized that the unofficial truce in the winter of 1914 had humanized the soldiers adversaries. Each fighter realized that their opponent had a family to return to, a home to go home to. It changed the aspect of the war considerably, which is why it is so famous.
I plan on watching the movie Joyeux Noel again sometime soon. This time, with a better understanding of what is happening. The events that transpired in 1914 were remarkable, and against all odds. Hopefully this film will convey those feelings and emotions fairly.

I have a copy of this film if you would like to borrow it.


Mitata. Mitata is a small village 18 kilometres north of Kythira town (Chora), in the heart of the island of Kythira. It is a village located in a beautiful area, surrounded by many vineyards and olive groves. There are many water sources, therefore the area is also very fertile. Mitata is well known for producing good wine, each year wine festivals are held in the month August. Mitata is one of the oldest villages of Kythira, old documents mention the village already in the twelfth century. This village used to be a big crowded village, unfortunately, most young people left to live in larger cities that's why Mitata looks quite deserted.
In the middle of Mitata is the village square where a café is located and the ancient church of Agia Triada with its blue dome. West of Mitata is the Tsakonas gorge, around the village are several interesting caves. Mitata is located quite high above sea level, therefore from here you have a fantastic view over the island. Mitata is also known because of the foundation "adopt a cat" from the Dutchwoman Irene. In her home, she hosts at least twenty cats you recognise the cat paws painted on the road surface.

The Poetic Books, also called the Sapiential Books, are a division of the Christian Bible grouping 5 or 7 books (depending on the canon) in the Old Testament. The term "Sapiential Books" refers to the same set, although not all the Psalms are usually regarded as belonging to the Wisdom tradition.

In terms of the Tanakh, it includes the three poetic books of Ketuvim, as well as Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs from the Five Megillot. Wisdom and Sirach are also part of the Poetic Books, but aren't part of the Hebrew Bible, and are seen by Christians as deuterocanonical, for which reason they are excluded from Protestant Bibles.

List
The Poetic Books are:

 Job
 Psalms
 Proverbs
 Ecclesiastes
 Song of Songs
 Wisdom (included only in Catholic and Orthodox canons)
 Sirach (included only in Catholic and Orthodox canons)

Dismantling the Catholic ethos of schools would leave children in a moral vacuum and in danger of despair, the president of a school managers' body has warned.
Fr Paul Connell, president of the Joint Managerial Body and the Association of Management of Catholic Secondary Schools, said Catholic schools have been playing a vital role in helping young people grow in faith.
" The alternative is a vacuum that can express itself in nihilism and the growing phenomenon in our schools of self harm," he said.
He said Catholic schools were open and welcoming to the children of other faiths and none. But Fr Connell said they were being unfairly criticised by prominent media figures.
"For example, it is disheartening and indeed insulting to read articles in a national newspaper by a prominent academic associating baptism with being a 'stain on the national consciousness' or encouraging dismantling protection of our Catholic ethos with the phrase, 'the snakes are coming back, you know'," he said.
He said the presence of children from other traditions enriched the educational experience offered in its schools.
Fr Connell said a commitment to this ecumenical spirit was not characterised by a reduction of all Christian expressions to the lowest common denominator. "While respect of course should always be afforded to the religious freedom and personal conscience of individual pupils, the Catholic school cannot relinquish its own freedom to offer a formation based on the values to be found in a Christian education," he said.
The president of the school managers' body also expressed frustration at the lack of information on CAO points available to Leaving Cert students after they receive their results.
Fr Connell also said the delivery and timing of the oral examinations needed to be reviewed urgently. "The amount of tuition time lost by non-examination students due to the absence of their teachers is no longer sustainable," he said.
School managers also faced a "crisis" in the supply of teachers of Irish and Continental languages, despite the fact that schools received hundreds of CVs for vacancies in many other subjects.


Businesses are compromising their strategic planning by basing decisions only on data easily accessible within their formal information systems. Intelligence derived from the external environment and unstructured information in an organisation can provide the necessary cues which provide strategists and executives forewarning of opportunities or impending organisational failure.
"Too many businesses turn a blind eye to the unknowns in their competitive environment. The winners are generally those that do investigate, analyse and react to cues and signals in both structured and unstructured information sources." says Dr Herman van Niekerk, director of knowledge management and competitive intelligence consultants, Suritec. "In order to make sound strategic decisions in a competitive business environment, it is essential to interpret this information.
"Only 20% of the total information of a business is held in a structured format. This structured data resides in databases and data warehouses and, over the past few years, a significant amount of money has been spent by businesses on developing business intelligence and management information systems to analyse this information. It is relatively easy to develop systems that have causality as a platform. Executives then make rational decisions based only on causal information.
"Most business environments are complex, and quantitatively orientated systems can't cope with this complexity because they don't allow for unstructured data," says Suritec director Ryno Goosen. "As a result, executives haven't been able to reappraise their views based on what is happening in the external environment. This creates business blindspots specifically when it comes to strategy.
"New visual analytic technologies enable organisations to explore the totality of information available to them and simultaneously to uncover the relationships that exist within this mass of data," says Van Niekerk The Starlight visual information system, originally developed for the USA intelligence community, enables companies to uncover key relationships hidden in large, complex, dynamic information collections. Unlike other technologies, Starlight integrates structured, unstructured, spatial and multimedia data simultaneously, making it possible to identify patterns, trends, and warning signals.
"From a strategic perspective," says Van Niekerk, "it's important to ask what issues the business needs to deal with to be competitive over the next few years. How can you leverage your information assets to make your organisation competitive?
"Information about economic, technical and environmental trends resides in unstructured data, yet organisations often don't look at that. Often even information within the organisation, such as e-mail, is not properly analysed and shared.
"Technology can analyse e-mail and photo and PDF files and look at various topics and interrelationships. For example, in an information flow, who are the important people? What happens if you take one or two people out of the network? This can be crucial in terms of retaining intellectual capital within the organisation.
"Making sense of unstructured data also provides good early-warning about your environment," says Goosen. "You can never know the future, but you can look at scenarios in your organisation and find indicators that give you an idea which scenario is unfolding, allowing you to adapt your strategy to fit what is playing out in the environment.
"Organisations need to use 'wetware' – the human mind – along with IT systems and software. It makes sense to set up a think-tank in the organisation that scans the external business environment and engages in organisational dialogue so as to test different hypotheses and build an agile business strategy.
"You would then make use of structured analytical techniques and applications such as Starlight to gather information from the external environment. This enables you to gather information from myriads of data. You can then integrate the two main information sources – structured and unstructured – to improve decision-making on how to go forward.

I often think my life is small and inconsequential. Actually, it is … but I've pretty well come to terms with that and it doesn't bother me like it used to. When I was younger – and full of indefatigable spirit fueled by bountiful reserves of naiveté and innocence – I wanted to change the world, and honestly believed I could. Not to be righteous or famous or even rich (though I wouldn't have minded the rich part) but simply because I wanted a better world. Somewhere in my dreams there lurked a generation who might still know hardship but who would never have to face starvation or poisonous drinking water or unjust war. Like I said, naiveté and innocence.
Like everyone else, I grew up. I found out the world thwarts your every attempt at real change. I joined with others, focused our efforts, but made little progress. And life got in the way. Long days, and sometimes nights, to pay for the essentials – food, clothing, shelter – left me too tired to worry about much else. If something didn't directly affect my friends, family, or myself, I had a hard time mustering the strength for real concern. That's sad but common in life. And it strikes me as a terrible sort of paradox that by the time we pay for our lives, we often lack the energy to really live them. There are always times of joy, of course, but it's so unfortunate when they seem rare and fleeting.
I have long thought that real change only comes when you understand that there will be losses, that they will be your own, and that you must accept them openly. If you are still too afraid of what you will lose, you aren't ready for change.
So I know I'll never change the world. That's okay. But I can still change my world, even if by the smallest margin. And I think that may be good enough.


Wall Street Journal has reported that the entertainment industry giants Disney are talking with Pixar over a possible acquisition deal. They have cited people involved in the deal. However, nothing is confirmed for now. WSJ also said that the talks might result in a deal that would see Disney paying a premium over the current market value of Pixar Studios.

Maj. Gen. Robert Caslen, who has been criticized for improperly participating in a promotional video for an evangelical group called Christian Embassy, will officially assume command of the 25th Infantry Division on May 21 at Schofield Barracks' Sills Field.
The Army's inspector general in August said Caslen was one of four generals and three officers who violated Pentagon rules by giving the appearance of governmental sanction to the Christian group, and did so while in uniform.
The report said Caslen agreed to appear in the Christian Embassy video because other generals had agreed to participate, including Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks, who was chief of Army public affairs.
Caslen and another general "accepted full responsibility for their actions and committed to be more alert to ethical issues in the future," the report said. Caslen and Brooks received "written memoranda of concern" from the Army.
Mikey Weinstein, of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said Caslen's new assignment in Hawaii is further evidence of a pattern by the military to tolerate the promotion of fundamentalist Christianity among its ranks.
Capt. Dixon R. Smith, commander of Naval Base San Diego, will be the next commander of Navy Region Hawaii. He also will command Naval Surface Group, MIDPAC. The Pearl Harbor assignment also means that Smith will be promoted to rear admiral.
The highlight of Hawaii Military Appreciation Month will be the combined military band concert which will be held 7 p.m. May 16 at the Neal Blaisdell Concert Hall. The concert will feature Hawaii's musicians from the military bands for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Hawaii Army National Guard. They will combine their musical talents in a specially produced concert featuring a variety of music ranging from popular military marches to traditional American favorites. Tickets may be picked up at the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii at 1132 Bishop St., Suite 402. The Blaisdell box office will also be distributing tickets this week. Tickets are on a first-come, first-served basis. Seating is also on a first-come, first-served basis. The concert is free.

"Virginia Class submarines form a strong foundation for today's and tomorrow's submarine force," said Rear Adm. William Hilarides, program executive officer for submarines. "They provide the right mix of capabilities now and the flexibility to ensure undersea superiority far into the future."
Six additional Virginia Class submarines are under construction. Commissioning for USS New Hampshire is scheduled for Oct. 25 at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine.

Hello, I was wondering if someone would be interested in making me a Tournament bracket generator.
What I want it to do, is pull the data from an event sign up (a certain event) and give me a Tournament bracket, that is displayed on the site. Then, with an admin user, be able to declare winners of each bracket.
Then move the winners to another bracket. And do it again.
There is quite a few tournament Bracket HTML out there. Just pulling from the calendar sign ups and importing them in, is what I don't know how to do.
I would also like it, if it could make a saved list, of the results. It could send these to a forum post or something.
I do not mind paying (I hope it's allowed to say that here? If not remove, and my apologies.) As I am sure this is quite in depth. Give me a quote or whatever.
A bracket Page, with the current brackets, or a list of brackets, and a page created or shown for past brackets.
When an event is made of a certain category, it creates a bracket then all that sign up for the event, are added to the bracket. Automatically.
Bracket controls, rank based, so myself or others with proper rank can shuffle/declare winners for each match.
This "bracket" display, could be on a separate page, or the event description? or some such.
Edited 7 times, last by cyberlocc ( Feb 11th 2019 ).
However, some minor things are still to be finished and it is limited to a maximum of 64 teams. It doesn't use the calendar, but own sign ups to include team building via applications. Results are entered by team leaders; no need for an admin user to do it.
Is this a thing yet or soon?
Well, forget soon. I don't have the time to finalize and thoroughly test it within the next weeks.

Colts' Phillip Dorsett scheduled for surgery on leg fracture
First-round pick expects to miss four to six weeks; Colts will consider a roster move to replace him
Colts' Phillip Dorsett scheduled for surgery on leg fracture First-round pick expects to miss four to six weeks; Colts will consider a roster move to replace him Check out this story on IndyStar.com: https://indy.st/1S6VOYV

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (15) lies on the ground on a play that caused his first half injury, New Orleans Saints at Indianapolis Colts, Indianapolis, Sunday, Oct. 25, 2015. New Orleans won 27-21 to drive Indianapolis' record to 3-4 on the year.(Photo: Robert_Scheer_The Star)
Indianapolis Colts rookie receiver Phillip Dorsett had come to terms with his leg fracture by Monday afternoon. But what was most disappointing was the timing of the injury, Dorsett said.
"I was literally just starting to get in the flow and get in the game plan more," Dorsett said. "I was getting more involved and we had a lot more four-wide (sets) in. I was playing a little running back. Things happen. It's football. But I don't expect a drop-off when I get back."
Dorsett suffered a fractured lower left leg in the second quarter of Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints, an injury he said that is expected to sideline him for four to six weeks. Dorsett insisted he'd be back before the end of the season, which has nine games remaining. He is scheduled to undergo surgery on Tuesday, coach Chuck Pagano said.
"I don't think (there is) any nerve or ligament damage," Dorsett said. "Just a clean fracture.
"I knew (when it happened). You know when you hear a crack. You feel it. But it's all right. It's not as bad as it seems."
The Colts' first-round pick in April, Dorsett has 11 receptions for 167 yards and one touchdown through seven games. Pagano said It's unclear whether the Colts will make a roster move to address the resulting lack of receiver depth. The Colts could look to promote Duron Carter from their practice squad. Outside of Dorsett, the Colts have just four healthy receivers on the active roster: T.Y. Hilton, Andre Johnson, Donte Moncrief and Griff Whalen.

Catholic school staffer to spend at least 18 months in jail over sexual abuse of Tasmanian students, girls

A staff member at a Tasmanian Catholic school has been described as "persistent and predatory" in the sexual exploitation of multiple students and young girls, and will now spend at least 18 months in prison.
The court heard Hones created multiple social media and email accounts with fake names to communicate with the girls
Justice Jago said "immediate imprisonment" was warranted, sentencing him to three years and nine months behind bars.
She suspended nine months of the sentence, with Hones eligible for parole in 18 months
Somerset man Adam Michael Hones, 32, worked as an information technology technician at Burnie's Marist Regional College for almost a decade before being stood down following a police investigation in 2021.
In October he pleaded guilty to 19 charges involving 17 different young girls, 11 of which were students at Marist. They were aged between 14 and 17.
In handing down her sentence in the Supreme Court in Burnie, Justice Tamara Jago said the offending was "very serious".
"Your conduct was deliberate, persistent and, at times, bordered on being coercive," she said.
The court heard Hones created multiple social media and email accounts with fake names to communicate with the girls, requesting naked photos and videos from them in exchange for money, in offending that occurred in 2020 and 2021.
"You treated the complainants as comedies for your entertainment," Justice Jago said.
"There is no question in my mind that your behaviour has enormous potential for harm."
While many declined, multiple girls sent him explicit photos of themselves, and Hones used a device to record and save some conversations without the complainant knowing.

His defence lawyer, Stephen Wright, had previously told the court the offending had no correlation to his employment, a fact that Justice Jago rejected.
"You must have appreciated who the complainants were and that they were students at the school," she said.
"It was a breach of trust in respect to your employer and also the students."
Justice Jago also rejected the idea that Hones did not know the ages of the girls because they either told him or it was stated on their social media accounts.
"Your behaviour went far beyond pursuing friendships … it was persistent, predatory behaviour," she said.
She suspended nine months of the sentence, with Hones eligible for parole in 18 months.
His name will be placed on the sex offenders register for 10 years following his release.

MilkyTracker is an open source, multi-platform music application for creating .MOD and .XM module files (part of what we call s3xmodit). It attempts to recreate the module replay and user experience of the popular DOS program Fasttracker II, with special playback modes available for improved Amiga ProTracker 2/3 compatibility.
MilkyTracker has built in configuration and option panel, for configuring things like window size, keymaps, and whether to display sharps or flats.
MilkyTracker works exclusively on samples, and is meant to be used for sample based music.
It is possible to simulate "chip-style" music, by using the built in sample generator. You can generate square, triangle, saw, sine waves, and even three types of noise. The main downside is that you have to draw the square wave's duty cycles yourself, unlike other trackers that automate the process.
The sample editor possesses any feature that you would wish to find in a modern sampler, like resampling, editing, and drawing capabilities.
The other big weapon at your disposal is the instrument editor, where you can accurately draw volume and panning envelopes, and have access to many controls like vibrato speed and amplitude.
You have a wide amount of standard command effects at your disposal, that you must use in your song: some of the most useful being the pitch slides (1,2,3), the vibrato (4), the infamous arpeggio effect (0), setting your song BPM and speed (F), and many moar.

I am quite familiar with her case -- I've studied the file three times. But now, here I am sitting in front of her, scratching my head, unable to squeeze out a single question.
It is October 2000, my third trip to China. I am traveling with four other members from a Bay Area organization to visit students who are granted scholarships. Our group aids needy children in rural China to secure an education in the junior- and senior-high-school age bracket.
Hwa sits there coyly, wearing a little smile. Her body is slightly leaning forward, almost on the edge of the chair. We are sitting at the front end of the classroom. Adjacent to the back is a sleeping area. This type of live-and-work arrangement certainly cuts the commute time down to zero. I'll say that for it. The desks and chairs are worn out. The sleeping area is constructed from wooden planks to form primitive bunker beds. The quilt bedding, made from remnants of cloth with floral patterns, bring a touch of vibrancy to the gloomy room. At a glance, I would say the sleeping area could house 20 people at most.
I ask Hwa how many students there are in a class. She says 75.
"No, there's not enough. At night we pull some desks together and make them into beds. Only the boys sleep in the classroom," replies Hwa, still staring at my right arm.
"Then, where do the girls sleep?" "In the girls' dorm."
"How many girls in a room?" "Fifty."
I go on to ask her about the fees for schooling. In China's rural villages, which are still destitute despite prosperity in the cities, children have to live in the schools starting in junior high. There's not much available transportation between homes and schools. It's not unusual for a one-way commute to take more than two hours, one hour on foot and another hour by bus. Nominally, schools do not charge for tuition, but they do assess various types of "ad hoc" fees: political awareness fees, youth moral fees, common area sanitary fees, and so on. This forces many poor students to quit school. The foundation that I represent grants scholarship to children whose average family income is at or below US$300 per year. It costs around US$85 a year to send a child to junior high, or US$260 for senior high. Therefore, it is an absolute luxury for these children to get an education beyond elementary school.
Then I ask Hwa about the cost of meals. She says "none."
"How come?" That is too good to be true, I'm thinking.
She says, "I go home once every week. Each time I bring a small sack of rice to school, and the kitchen staff steams it for free."
"What goes with rice?" I ask.
"I bring a jar of pickles from home." She says.
"What?" I am puzzled by the answer, steamed rice with pickles for a whole week?
"You mean....you say... you bring rice, the school cooks it, and... . and... you eat pickles?" I am stuttering to finish the sentence. She nods.
I suddenly find my face flushed with heat and my throat choked. I have just stumbled on a secret meant to be kept from an outsider like me. I can't look at her eyes; I am too embarrassed. I almost dread the prospect of learning more details about her food. What is there to know about the variety of pickles? How elaborate can pickles be? I cannot even stay with this topic; there is so little I can do for her. I can't picture an adolescent girl living on just rice and pickles, day after day, year after year. I am sick to my stomach. My guts are wrenched.
I finally stir up the courage to ask about her mother's illness. She picks up her head, making eye contact for the first time. Her cloudy eyes are sunken, lacking a young girl's usual sparkle and brightness. A smile does bring out the dimples on her cheeks, but only to reveal more of her gauntness.
"Auntie, can we not talk about this? I don't want you to feel worse." The corner of her mouth slightly trembles, and I can't tell if it's a prelude to a smile or to a sob. She knows I am at the verge of breaking down into tears and if I cannot bear to know what she has been eating, how am I going to face the cruelty of her mother's paralysis? With an awkward smile I conclude this interview with a girl who is way too mature and considerate for her age.
Haunted by Hwa's poor diet, back in my hotel room I keep thinking about the solution to malnutrition. The next morning I finally figure it out. The solution is that the children can eat pickles in the weekdays but, when they're home on weekends I will advise them to load up with tofu. Tofu is made from soy beans, rich in protein and inexpensive to buy. I am so damn smart!
The next day I interview Zhang Guo: "Male, 13 years old, seventh grade, father deceased when he was four; mother, a farm worker, makes 800 yuan RMB a year (about US$100) and is the sole supporter of four children."
In his autobiography, Guo writes, "When I was in first grade I broke my left thigh. I quit school. I sought medical treatment in Chongqing, and managed to recover from the injury one year and 5,000 yuan later. Mother had gone to every relative and friend for help. I can't bear to see her being rejected by one after another. I'm only thirteen, but I think I've tasted enough bitterness of life."
When I first meet Guo, I am surprised by his build. He has the height of an eight-year-old, barely reaching my chest. He sits there, embarrassed, looking down at his hands.
"How many people in your family?" I already know the answer but want to break the ice.
"Five," he says, head still down, looking at the desk full of holes and dents.
"Who are they?" "One elder brother, two elder sisters, and mom."
"Aren't we missing a sheep?" I'm trying to be funny.
"And there's me, too." He raises his head and giggles. I laugh, too, as if we both feel that we've outsmarted each other in a game.
Guo has always been a high achiever, ranking first in a class of 90. Residing in a rural village he stays at school on weekdays and goes home on weekends. I ask him about the cost of meals. He says there's no expense. He, too, brings rice and pickles to school. Good, I think to myself, now I can practice my tofu solution.
I say to him, "When you go home on weekends, would you ask your mom to make you lots of tofu? You know, tofu is very nutritious. My daughter Xiang Xiang is 11, and she's as tall as I am. You know why? She likes tofu. She doesn't like meat."
"But... but, we don't get to eat tofu except during New Year's."
Wham! I feel like someone has just punched me on my chest. How can I be as naïve as Marie Antoinette -- just let them eat tofu cake?
"Does your family grow soy beans?" I am trying to hide my embarrassment with a question. He says, "yes."
I continue, " Excellent! Tofu is made from soybeans. Ask your mom to boil some soy beans and add some salt to it. It tastes even better than tofu."
"But... but... we need to sell our soy beans." Guo acts as if he needs to apologize for his answer so that it won't sound argumentative.
My heart knots up like a cotton ball. I bite my tears through my teeth but I will not give up. I am determined to find a way to solve the malnutrition problem. Staring at him for a few seconds, I spit out my solution: "Can you ask your mom not to sell it all but to save some -- just a little bit -- for you?"
Immediately I hate myself for saying that. What's the matter with me? What kind of a stupid idea is this as if Guo's family is not capable of figuring this one out on their own?
"All right, I will ask Mom..." Guo, looking up at me, says this calmly.
I know very well he's given up trying to explain the soybean situation to me. Just say "yes." Why argue with this stupid old lady? If mom could have saved some for her children, why wouldn't she?
I decide to change the subject; I am totally defeated in the area of food.
I ask, "Guo, so tell Auntie, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
Suddenly he becomes stiff, his body twisting, his hands rubbing.
"It's okay that you don't know, no problem. When I was 13, I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up," I tell him tenderly.
All of a sudden he picks up his head, saying out loud, "But I know!"
I almost jump out of my chair by his loud voice. I laugh, "Okay, then tell me."
" I...I... want to be... a... a... RICH PERSON!" Immediately he lowers down his face with shame.
Among the children I have interviewed, most of them pledge to serve their country as their goal when they grow up. When I hear of such a lofty mission, I cannot help telling them, "It is a very commendable goal, but shouldn't we first try to feed ourselves and take care of our parents -- then, if circumstances permit, serve our country?"
When I hear about Guo's dream of becoming a rich person, I am as astonished as if I'd just heard the opening of the Beethoven's Fifth for the first time. What kind of poverty and desperation drives a 13-year old child raised in a communist society to dare even to dream about something so dishonorable?
" Guo, raise your head, look at Auntie. Look me right in the eyes...." He raises his head.
Looking at his big innocent eyes, I say, "We both have the same goal, and I will help you achieve your dream of becoming a rich person. Rich people all go to college, you know. Would you like to go to college?" He nods.
Because of this talk with Guo, I eventually promised all twenty students whom I interviewed that I will help them to go to college. I am obligated to it.
I continue to ask Guo about his extracurricular activities or hobbies. He says he likes to help his mom out with the farming -- it pleases her. Farming can hardly be qualified as recreational, so I ask if there's anything else he likes to do.
"There is something I love very much, but I have never done it -- does it count?" He becomes awkward again, his face turning red.
I almost crack up. "All right. It counts."
" I want to go outside to play." He says it with hesitation.
I understand what he means by "outside," not to a playground or a field, but to a big city. The closest city is Chongqing, five hours away by bus.
"It is an attainable goal -- and soon," I coax him. Yet, he and I both know that this dream cannot be realized any time soon. For Guo, something as easy as having a picnic can be as difficult as climbing Mt. Everest.
Including Guo and Hwa, I will interview 20 children on this trip. Every single one of them has been raised in poverty. In fact this is one of the conditions for our charity's scholarship. Sometimes I feel that God is such a snob who stays away from the poor but likes to rub shoulders with the rich. The poorer you are, the more likely your house will collapse; the poorer you are, the more likely you'll have failing health; the poorer you are, the more likely you'll be down to your last luck.
Coming back from the trip, I feel like someone who usually lives in heavenly paradise traveled back from hell. What have I done to deserve such a wonderful life and what have they done to deserve a life of such destitute? Surely I work hard for what I have. So do they, but apparently not hard enough to afford tofu once a week? Is it fate? Is it destiny? Can it be changed?
After returning back to the States, I start a College Loan Program for the Foundation. China is going through a major economic reform, and the unemployment rate is on the rise. A high school graduate simply can't find a job that even remotely promises to make one a "rich" person. A college education is the only way out of this vicious cycle of poverty. I promised all twenty of "my" children that I would loan money to them so they can go to college. I know I cannot help all the children of the world, but I will help 20 and many more in years to come. After these 20 children graduate from college, they will help their families and pay back the money they owe. The same money will be recycled to help another 20 and their families, and so on and so forth. In the end if I do the math right, I may save two hundred thousand people from poverty. When does it end?
There is no end -- love has no end.
Epilogue: Guo's humble little dream of going "outside" to play so haunted me that nine months later I invited 13 children for a one-week vacation in Chongqing. Guo got to realize his dream to play "outside"; Hwa got to sample different food in the restaurants for a change; Dong got his first pair of eyeglasses so he can see better. Living in the rural villages, most of these children had never been to restaurants, let alone to a movie theater or a department store. Even sitting on a toilet seat was a new experience for them. I took them to ride elevators, surf the net, play in the arcades, eat at McDonald's, and drink Coca-Cola. The experience was enriching for me, too. When was the last time any of us was thrilled by the experience of taking a shower, making a phone call, sleeping on a mattress, or walking on carpet? But to them, all these experiences are like walking on the moon. It is my pleasure and honor to share many of their first-time thrills. I tell my daughter Emily, who was 11 years old at the time, that I am concerned about managing such a big group of children on a pleasure outing, and she says, " Mom, don't you worry. I will be in charge--just give me the money."

DPP staff members have set up a staff savings and co-operative society as a way of mobilizing funds through staff savings which can later be accessed through loans by the members to undertake projects such as: - land / property acquisition, construction, starting-up capital for various businesses, farming, paying school fees etc.
The SACCO has registered over 55 members, who have to date contributed a significant amount towards the fund. This is a good start as the Interim Committee has a target of registering over 400 DPP member staff within a period of two years.
An interim Committee was set up and mandated to carry out the preliminary stages of registration and collection of members' contributions and also to ensure that the DPP SACCO is fully registered by the appropriate bodies under the governing laws. The Interim Committee comprises of :- Mr Wagona Vincent as the Chairman, Mrs. Benedette Nalule as the Vice Chairman, Emmanuel Muwonge as the General Secretary, Ms. Florence Akello Owinji as the Treasurer, Mr. Ntalo Nasur as the Representative of State Attorneys, Ms. Kirunda Betty as the Representative of the Administration Staff and Ms. Akite Miriam as the Representative of Prosecutors.
Therefore any intending new member is therefore free to contact any of the above members and inquire about the process of registration or go direct to the Treasurer who would receive the payment and issue a receipt as proof of payment.
In order to create a substantial fund with which to borrow from or undertake any investments, the DPP Staff SACCO intends to rely among others on the members' contributions like: - The membership/Subscription fee of Uganda Shillings 50,000/= (Fifty Thousand shillings only), Minimum of 5 shares, each share costing Uganda Shs. 20,000/= (Twenty thousand shillings only) and a minimum monthly saving of Uganda Shillings 50,000/= (Fifty thousand shillings only). The DPP staff SACCO also intends to source for funds from the Micro-Finance Support Centre, which are usually offered at relatively low interest rate compared which the members can access in form of loans.
Like other government institution based staff SACCOs' i.e.-the Wazelendo SACCO of the Uganda Peoples' Defence Forces, Exodus SACCO of police, the Law Reform Staff SACCO and the Uganda Prisons' staff SACCO, which have The fund seeks to improve the staff welfare through availing hassle free loans at relatively low interest rates compared to the commercial bank lending rates and investing part of members' savings with a view of making a profit. The profit made would be paid back to the members in form of dividends or recouped back into the fund.


It was one of the most gruesome injuries to happen to an athlete during a sporting event. Even those of us who rubberneck on the highway to see what the accident looks like, are fighting hard to get the images of Kevin Ware's injury out of our heads.
The Louisville point guard suffered a compound fracture to his right leg while trying to block a shot. The impact of his fall was so great it broke his bone in two places, and part of his tibia could be seen protruding through his skin.
"You knew it was bad from the moment you saw it happen," said Robert Berry, M.D., orthopedic surgeon on the medical staff at Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano.
Dr. Berry was one of those watching television Sunday night as Ware's Louisville team took on the Duke Blue Devils in an Elite 8 match-up.
It's an injury he's treated numerous times.
"One of the procedures we will do to address an injury like that, is place a titanium rod down the center of the bone and lock it with screws on the upper part of the bone and lock in the lower part of the tibia as well," Berry said.
He added that a bone fracture is actually easier to recover from than a torn tendon. As for what's next for Kevin Ware, only time will tell, but Dr. Berry believes with work, he can get back to playing basketball in the future.

The ROOter Project was created to allow the use of USB Cellular modems in routers that don't have this capability using factory firmware. The project produces new firmware on a regular basis that allows you to update your router for better support of USB modems and to add new router related features.
ROOter came into being in 2013 because of a simple question asked on the Whirlpool Australia forum : "Can I plug my modem into my router and provide Internet for my entire network? And can I see signal information so I can adjust my antenna for better speeds?". The answer from ROOter was "YES".
Even though ROOter is an international project, with contributions from all over the world, it is mainly a Canadian/Australian collaboration and shows its roots on an Australian forum. The ROOter name was chosen to reflect this and the versions of the firmware have been named after something Australia is famous for, poisonous spiders.
ROOter is made using the Open Source firmware provided by the OpenWrt and Lede projects.
ROOter has been available since April 2013 and has proved to be a popular download for improving routers. In 2016 there were 252,000 firmware downloads of ROOter images. Since its inception there have been over 500,000 firmware downloads of all the different ROOter versions. It has been used in nearly every country in the world, as shown by the ClustrMaps link on the Home page.

Music for February 2019
Reader Contribution By Ben Sauder
| 2/22/2019 4:29:00 PM
Tags: music sampler, Ben Sauder, Cass McCombs, Steve Gunn, Toro y Moi, Bonny Dune, ,
"placeholder" - Hand Habits, placeholder
Arrives March 1, 2019
Meg Duffy, known predominantly as the lead guitarist for Kevin Morby's band, should be recognized for much more when their second album, placeholder, comes out on March 1st. Duffy, who records and performs music under the name Hand Habits, has recently released the album's lead single, also titled "placeholder." The song has a laid back groove built on a simple three-chord progression. What sticks out from the rhythm track is the clear and smooth vocal delivery as Duffy sings "And this is where I doubted you and endless compromise / To say that you told me the truth is to tell each other lies / Oh, but now you are a placeholder blinded by desire / Oh, now you're just a placeholder for someone wasting time."
"Estrella" - Cass McCombs, Tip of the Sphere
Arrives February 8, 2019
Anti-Records
Following his critically-renowned 2016 album Mangy Love, Cass McCombs has released a new single in anticipation of his ninth full-length, Tip of the Sphere. On "Estrella," McCombs and his band set a sunny and breezy mood with a driving beat and bouncy bassline. Shades of darkness come in and out with a dissonant synthesizer. The song eventually drops out into an amoebic vocal crooning backed only by sparse and stretched out tones of guitar and keyboards. Lyrically, McCombs presents "Estrella" as a tribute of sorts to Latino artist Juan Gabriel.
"I Told You Everything" - Sharon Van Etten, Remind Me Tomorrow
On "I Told You Everything," the opening song on Sharon Van Etten's new album Remind Me Tomorrow, she sings "Sitting at the bar I told you everything / You said holy shit / You almost died." The scene depicted certainly seems autobiographical. It's been four years since Van Etten's last album, Are We There, and a lot has happened in her life since then. Apart from her career as musician, she has gone to school, has acted in the show The OA, and has become a mother. It was in the bits of time between all of these other obligations that Remind Me Tomorrow was written. Despite the short windows of time available to her to work on the record, Van Etten, along with producer John Congleton, have crafted a beautiful and mesmerizing album.
"Harm Reduction (Morning)" - Tim Presley's White Fence, I Have to Feed Larry's Hawk
Tim Presley, perhaps better known by the name White Fence, has released his second album in as many years, entitled I Have to Feed Larry's Hawk. The new record showcases the whimsical, lo-fi, Kinksian songs that featured on his previous work, like the Family Perfume albums, but Presley expands his sonic palette into other psychedelic realms like on the track "Harm Reduction (Morning)." Reminiscent of The Who's "Baba O'Riley," "Harm Reduction (Morning)" consists mainly of a repetitious synthesizer sequence with various bleeps and bloops bouncing and scratching around its edges. In a music business that more often than not takes itself far too seriously, it's refreshing to hear songs like this one that sound as though they were created out of pure joy and creative curiosity.
"Jealousy" - SASAMI, SASAMI
LA-based musician Sasami Ashworth, or SASAMI as she is known professionally, spent much of last year on tour playing guitar and keys for Cherry Glazer. While on tour, Ashworth would type out long texts to lovers and friends, but then would never send them. These unsent messages seemed to naturally fit as lyrics for the demos she had been making on her iPad and it wasn't long before Sasami had a full album's worth of songs. On the latest single for the album "Jealousy," SASAMI builds layers of offsetting guitars and keys that are reined in by a steady four-on-the-floor drumbeat. The vocal melody floats on its own wavelength at times, almost as if it belongs to a different song entirely, but when it does sync in with the groove it is magic.
"Stonehurst Cowboy" - Steve Gunn, The Unseen In Between
Two short weeks after the release of Steve Gunn's previous album, 2016's Eyes On the Lines, his father passed away from cancer. The death of his dad at a time that should have been a celebratory one, left Gunn with a new set of feelings to explore on what would turn out to be his latest work, The Unseen In Between. On "Stonehurst Cowboy," Gunn remembers the lessons his father taught him and looks back at a time that is gone forever. "Dear old house on 69th / Streets look the same / Trees are strong / Faces are gone / My background is the same." Sparse instrumentation is provided by Gunn's acoustic guitar and stark basslines from Bob Dylan's musical director, Tony Garnier.
"Ordinary Pleasure" - Toro y Moi, Outer Peace
Carpark Records
Chaz Bear, who goes by the moniker Toro y Moi, has a new album out called Outer Peace. The record was recorded in the Bay Area after Bear had spent a full year up in Portland. The single "Ordinary Pleasure" opens with what sounds like a bongo sample from "Sympathy for the Devil" over a backdrop of gentle waves before breaking out into a funky jam a la disco-era Michael Jackson. The track is a party jam through and through. Bear puts the hedonism on full display singing, "Maximize all the pleasure / Even with all this weather / Nothing can make it better / Maximize all the pleasure."
"Better Way" - Kian Byrne, Up & Down
Self-Released
After years of playing in the Irish American folk band The Elders, Kansas City musician Kian Byrne has self-released his debut solo album, Up & Down. The primarily acoustic album represents a branching out for Byrne, who, apart from drumming for The Elders, plays guitar for the ska band The New Riddim. On the album opener "Better Way," Byrne chugs along on an acoustic guitar with a pleasant assortment of noodling stringed riffs floating in the background. Byrne sings about the uncertainty of relationships "It's hard to know who to trust / I've been wondering about my feelings / What are all the meanings / What are the outcomes?"
"Long Wave" - Bonny Dune, Longwave
Released March 23, 2018
Woodsist
Bonny Dune's latest album, 2018's Longwave, opens with the aptly titled track "Long Wave," and it sounds like what riding a wave must feel like. There's no fussiness about it, just a laid back confidence that the current will take you to wherever you are going. Simple shakers and an easy snare tap set the pace as guitars, an organ, and bass guitar join in and float along for the ride. This gentle flow of music from the Detroit-based band, alternating between just two chords, comes with sage advice about following your own course: "Don't spend your whole life waiting on the turning of the season of your mind / You are who you're supposed to be."
"In the Hot Hot Rays" - Fleet Foxes, First Collections 2006-2009
Subpop Records
It's been over 10 years since Fleet Foxes topped several "Best Of" lists with their debut full-length album Fleet Foxes. Subpop, the band's label at the time, is celebrating the anniversary with an extensive release of material. Included are the above mentioned self-titled album, the Sun Giant EP, an EP made before their label signing, and various home demos. Among the 30 recordings on the collection is a song called "In the Hot Hot Rays," from their first EP. The track, and the EP it came from, is most notable for what it is not. Listeners familiar with the band might be surprised by the lack of acoustic guitars, vocal harmonies, and songs about the natural world. Despite this, the band shows glimmers of its eventual success, primarily through the confident and intricate songwriting and decisively executed guitar work.
This sampler was compiled and written by Ben Sauder, who makes music as No Magic. His new album, In Cocoon, is out now on French Exit Records.

Notice the highlighted code. You first declare a byte array to store chunks of data being read. You then declare a memory stream to store the complete data. A white loop calls the GetBytes() method on SqlDataReader until all the bytes are read. The first parameter of the GetBytes() method specifies the column index; the second parameter indicates the position within the column from where the reading should start. The third parameter indicates the write position in a byte array, and the last parameter indicates the maximum number of bytes to read. The GetBytes() method returns the number of bytes successfully read. If the return value is 0, it indicates that no data could be read. Once the data is read and stored in the memory stream, you call the ToArray() method of the MemoryStream class to convert it into a byte array.
If the photo being updated is too large, the performance of your application will be affected. The update operation also can be performed in chunks in such cases. Listing 15 shows the modified Update() method of the PhotoHelper class.
Carefully observe the highlighted line of the code. You have modified the UPDATE statement to use the .WRITE() clause. The .WRITE() clause works with the varchar(MAX), nvarchar(MAX), and varbinary(MAX) columns and allows you to change only a part of the column rather than replacing the entire column value. Obviously, it can be of great help when dealing with a large amount of data. The .WRITE() clause takes three parameters: the data to be written to the column, the start position within the column from where the writing operation should begin, and the length of data to be written. You also can update a column value in multiple chunks by executing the UPDATE statement in a loop.
