John Burlin Brombaugh (born March 1, 1937) is an American pipe organ builder known for his historically oriented tracker action pipe organs.

Personal life and early training
Born in Dayton, Ohio, Brombaugh (related to the Brumbaugh families) first heard a Hammond organ while in the fourth grade and was "mesmerized" by the combination of organ and electronics, a combination that would shape his career. Brombaugh has degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati (EE, 1960) and Cornell University (MS-EE, 1963) specializing in the field of acoustics, in particular musical acoustics.

After college graduation, Brombaugh worked as a development engineer for the Baldwin Piano Company. His charge "was to develop a method to produce electronic chiff and to design an artificial reverberation system". For the former, he extensively studied the construction of organ pipes, while the latter included ideas pioneered in the Hammond organ. Brombaugh also secured seven patents with the Baldwin Organ Company.

As a lifelong lover of classical music, especially as he heard ancient European organs on recordings – e.g. E. Power Biggs' The Art of the Organ and Helmut Walcha's of J.S. Bach's music on the Schnitger organ in Cappel – he became an apprentice under the two leading American tracker action pipe organ builders, Fritz Noack (1964–1966) and Charles Fisk (1966–1967) and then served as a journeyman (Geselle) with the Rudolph von Beckerath firm in Hamburg in 1967–68 to complete his training, especially in making reed pipes. While in Hamburg, Brombaugh used every opportunity to study the many historic organs in northwest Germany and the adjacent Netherlands.

In June 1968, he established his own firm, John Brombaugh & Co., in the farmlands west of Germantown, Ohio, his hometown; this sole proprietorship eventually became a partnership including George Taylor, John Boody, Herman Greunke, and others. In 1977, the partnership dissolved in a friendly way when Brombaugh moved his firm to Eugene, Oregon under the new name, John Brombaugh & Associates, Inc., that continued until completing its final instrument in summer 2005. He built 66 organs that are located in 23 states, Canada, Sweden, and Japan, and was a teacher to many upcoming younger builders, including Bruce Shull, Michael Bigelow, Charles Ruggles, Paul Fritts, Munetaka Yokota, Bruce Fowkes, Trent Buhr, Karl Nelson, David Petty, and Aaron Reichert. A grant from the Ford Foundation in spring 1971 enabled Brombaugh to do intense study of about 100 historic organs in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy, and he has continued his studies at all possible times since.

Organ building style
The majority of Brombaugh organs are tuned in a "Well temperament". This enables them to play music composed in any key but, compared with Equal Temperament, favors the central keys used in most organ literature of all periods. Since its introduction in 1978, the "Bach" temperament by Herbert Anton Kellner has become Brombaugh's standard tuning, though several of his organs are tuned in 1/4 Syntonic comma Meantone where their primary intention is for historically oriented performance of the organ literature older than that of Johann Sebastian Bach's. Many of his easily movable small positives have transposition capabilities to facilitate their playability at different pitches; these (excepting his Op. 2 that was made during his apprenticeship with Noack) are his only instruments tuned in Equal Temperament.

Although he has been interested in recovering and using many of the lost concepts from the ancient organ-builders (e.g., the use of only mechanical key action), he also considers himself a builder of this time who is amenable to the use of the best current construction methods and the use of ideas necessary for the convenience required by organists of our time. For example, his Opus 35 – an organ of 3,250 pipes, 3 manuals, and pedal with 46 stops that was dedicated on Pentecost 2001 at the First Presbyterian Church in Springfield, Illinois – is a synthesis of historical and modern techniques.

Among John Brombaugh's contributions to modern organ-building are:

 The first use in modern times of an unequal temperament for tuning a large pipe organ in North America on his Op. 4 at First Lutheran Church, Lorain, Ohio, that was dedicated by David Boe in June 1970. The temperament used was Andreas Werckmeister's IIIrd temperament, Werckmeister's first inventive departure from the ancient Pythagorean or Meantone tunings. This temperament has since been used on many new organs worldwide.
 General absence of plywood in the construction of his instruments, especially in the casework, and by the earliest return in 20th century organ-building (beginning in 1968) to using only solid wood for the windchest tableboards.
 Consistent use of fine architectural concepts and details for his case designs, such as those described by the renowned Renaissance artisan, Andrea Palladio, and those found in instruments made by the late Gothic builders. He has also been interested in developing designs with suitable modern styles where appropriate, not only to making historically governed copies.
 The first use of hammered pipe metal in modern times in the United States, also done for his Op. 4 for Lorain, Ohio.
 Beginning in 1970 with his Op. 4 for Lorain, Ohio, consistent use of wedge bellows in all of his work to provide a slightly unstable winding that gives the organ a more musical character or "life". A few of Brombaugh's instruments have the mechanism needed so the organ's wind can be produced by foot pumping its bellows – the norm before electricity (or other energy sources) took over this rather boring job.
 Beginning in 1970, development and use of an electronic "tuning machine" having a CRT display that can be set for any temperament and a reference pitch variable over a 4:5 ratio; the device provides an accuracy of 1/5 cent or 0.1 Hz and also has a filter settable to observe the various harmonics individually so all pipes of compound stops (such as the Mixtures and Cornets) may be very accurately tuned.
 The first use worldwide of the high lead content pipe metal alloy such as was found in the work of Hendrik Niehoff in 16th century northwestern Europe in Brombaugh's Op. 19 at Central Lutheran Church in Eugene, Oregon.
 Among the first uses of Meantone tuning in a major new organ in the United States, (along with Charles Fisk's organ at Houghton Memorial Chapel at Wellesley College and Gene Bedient's organ at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois) for his Op. 25 organ for Fairchild Chapel at Oberlin College that was dedicated in September 1981 by Harald Vogel. Meantone organs in North America remain very rare.
 The general use of "vocale" voicing of the pipes to achieve the tonal beauty so common to the organs in and prior to Bach's lifetime.
 First installation in Continental Europe since the 1930s of a new pipe organ built in the United States – the Meantone organ for the Hagakyrkan in Göteborg, Sweden, dedicated by Harald Vogel on March 8, 1992.
 First use of the Ruckpositive in a major concert hall organ by using two Ruckpositive divisions to the left and right so the organist is not hidden from view of the audience, in the Toyota City, Japan, Op. 37 instrument inaugurated by Harald Vogel on November 11, 2003.

Seeking revenge against Sauron's forces via slow menu screens
When I heard that a Game of the Year edition of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor was coming out, I got the tingles. From my toes to the tip of my ears. That is to say, I felt the time was now right to see what was up with that sleeper-hit that everyone was talking about during the end of 2014's podcast deliberations. I'm always a sucker for GOTY editions, especially since I'm ten out of ten times late to the party, and these end-all, be-all packages provide me with, ideally, everything I need to get the full experience, such as DLC and now useless pre-order bonuses, just many months later. Count me in.
However, when I got to GameStop and asked the duder behind the counter, he informed me that the GOTY versions were only for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. Snartleblast and snakes. Or rather–for the love of Varda! Us ancient tortoises stuck in the "previous generation" were simply out of luck. Still, I had driven all the way over to this brick-and-mortar building and didn't want to leave empty-handed, and so, with Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor still tickling away at my mind, I picked up a vanilla copy of it for the ol' Xbox 360.
Back during all the praising and glorifying of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions were released a month or so after the current generation, with rumblings about how they were altered to not have the Nemesis system, a major element of the game that has you taking down Uruk and Orc captains and watching as the Dark Lord's army shifts and shapes accordingly. This kept me at bay certainly, but no one seemed to care enough to cover them and confirm this. Well, as far as I can tell, the Nemesis is in the Xbox 360 version, though it might not be as robust or dynamic as the current generation; for example, I haven't heard any mass of Uruks chanting their leader's name to intimidate Talion, which is a big bummer.
Grinding Down readers should know how deep my love for J.R.R. Tolkien's work goes, though many of the vidoegame interpretations fail to impress. I think LEGO Lord of the Rings so far is the only one I feel any kind of amazement towards. Definitely none for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring or Aragorn's Quest. Anyways, from what I've gathered, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor does little to enhance Tolkien's lore, but is still a ton of fun to play. I can concur with that sentiment, with one major caveat: it is a ton of fun to play, but not on Xbox 360.
Five paragraphs in, and I'm now only beginning to talk about the game proper. Welcome to my blog, new readers! This is par for the course. Right, here's the four-one-one. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is an open world, third-person action romp, where the player controls a ranger called Talion who seeks revenge on the forces of Sauron after his wife and son are murdered. Initially, Talion is mortally wounded during this early massacre, but the wraith of the Elven Lord Celebrimbor is able to use his powers to keep Talion alive, gifting him magical, wraith-like abilities in the meantime.
I hate to do this, but I want to get to the part where I rant about this version's quality so here's the gameplay in comparison terms: running around the world is like Assassin's Creed on speed, combat is prompt-heavy and taken from Arkham Asylum, stealth is not very deep, and in between story and side quest missions you can collect plants, artifacts, and ancient runes for experience points and lore. I'm enjoying Talion's journey so far, but am taking my time to collect what I can and learn the ropes when it comes to fighting large groups of enemies or hunting down nearby captains. In fact, I have to take my time. Yes, thank you, that is a great lead-in into…
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's menus are atrociously slow to load, to the point that I am constantly reaching for my phone to do something while I wait for the opportunity to do something in-game to appear. The problem? You use menus a lot in this digital Middle-earth, whether it is scrutinizing your intel on Sauron's army, upgrading your weapons with collected runes, unlocking perks for Talion and his skills, or engrossing yourself in the appendices. Oh, and don't forget the map, if you are interested in seeing what events/collectibles are around you at the moment. It's so lousy that, at certain points, I've had to restrain myself from hitting pause and just go forward without doing whatever I thought I could do quickly. Couple this with textures frequently not loading (or taking forever to load in, even during cutscenes), choppy audio issues, and some hitching, and you have a less-than-impressive version of what many proclaim to be an impressive game. The Xbox 360 version also has a 5 GB mandatory install, which nearly filled up my hard-drive.
That all said, I won't be moving into the new generation for a good while, certainly not until Fallout 4 is ready to be purchased and played, so this is the best I can do for now. It's not unplayable, but like with Gandalf's trepidation about entering the Mines of Moria, I wish there was another way around. For now, I'll get back to tracking Gollum, freeing slaves, and cinematically slicing off the heads of Uruks with unequivocally cool names.

El ducado de San Jaime es el título de incógnito (y de señalamiento) que adoptó Alfonso Carlos de Borbón como pretendiente carlista al Trono de España.

El 2 de octubre de 1931 moría sin descendencia Jaime de Borbón, pretendiente a la Corona española como Jaime III. Los derechos dinásticos de la rama carlista recayeron entonces en su tío Alfonso Carlos, de 82 años de edad, quien decidió adoptar como medio de incógnito el título de «duque de San Jaime». Según afirmó el propio Alfonso Carlos en una carta enviada el 4 de noviembre de 1931 al marqués de Villores, el título tenía una «significación a la vez religiosa, patriótica y tradicionalista».

Años después de la muerte de Alfonso Carlos, el título de «duque de San Jaime» volvería a ser utilizado. Desde el 29 de septiembre de 1961 por Carlos Hugo de Borbón-Parma, primogénito de Javier de Borbón-Parma (pretendiente carlista como Javier I). Incluso de forma oficiosa por el régimen del general Franco. Posteriormente por Jaime de Borbón-Parma, hijo del citado Carlos Hugo, quien comenzó a usarlo tras un acto carlista celebrado en Arbonne (Francia) el 28 de septiembre de 2003.

Why I am voting for Jeremy Corbyn
August 15, 2015 August 16, 2015 John Hodgson advertising, David Runciman, Jeremy Corbyn, Labour Party, London Review of Books, Private Eye, Robert Owen, socialist, Tony Blair
The tone of political utterance matters.
Mainstream Labour politicians express astonishment that Jeremy Corbyn's campaign for Labour leadership is gaining so much support. Tony Blair, Jack Straw and others have expressed apocalyptic fears of the effect on a Corbyn leadership on the electability of the party. His popularity, some say, must be the result of infiltration. Private Eye have an amusing take on this:
I have just received an email from one of the candidates for deputy leadership. It begins:
Your ballot paper to decide who you want to be Labour's next leadership team is already on its way to you. It's an important decision.
This message is sent to people who have already joined the Labour Party or become registered Labour supporters. Do they need to be persuaded or patronised? It ends with a PS after the candidate's signature: "Your vote is important. Please use it." This repetition of a call to act is, of course, a technique used by charity and other marketeers when writing to prospective supporters or customers.
I left the Labour Party in 1997 when I heard Tony Blair and Alistair Campbell speaking in a knowing way about the Labour brand. The marketing metaphor seemed inappropriate as it positioned the electorate as consumers to be manipulated. The neoliberal omens were not good.
After eighteen years of Labour and coalition administration, we are imbued in market culture in education, health and other public services. The situation has not reached quite the point I encountered recently in the USA, where I had to listen to an advertisement before making a domestic phone call. Yet the overall spirit of our culture is that everything has to be sold. In a strange application of post-modern philosophy, reality has disappeared. All that matters is advertising and appearance. Political candidates present themselves rather than their policies. Again, Private Eye catches the zeitgeist:
Corbyn doesn't present himself as having particular qualities or capacities, as is the tendency of the other candidates' manifestos. His prose is more impersonal as he calls for "a fairer, kinder Britain based on innovation, decent jobs and decent public services". "Kinder" and "decent" are not part of the current political lexicon. Corbyn draws on a long socialist tradition of critiquing the influence of a market economy. Writing in 1817 about the effect on human life of the new manufacturing system, Robert Owen argued:
All are sedulously trained to buy cheap and to sell dear … and thus a spirit is generated … destructive of that open, honest sincerity, without which man cannot make others happy, nor enjoy happiness himself.
Writing in the current London Review of Books, David Runciman distinguishes between expressive and instrumental theories of voting. The former is based upon voters' signalling who they are and what they value. Most of Corbyn's supporters will be expressive voters, whereas those on the left who oppose him may be instrumental voters who fear that, under his leadership, and following his philosophy, Labour will never regain power.
But they may be wrong. Recent history in Scotland, Greece and elsewhere speaks of the power of popular movements and radical (yet long-established) ideas of social change. The Corbyn phenomenon is much larger than the charisma of one quietly spoken man.

I support the right of free speech as part of a right of dissent. But that does not mean that I support every particular exercise of free speech or dissent. It is well known that the history of free speech is contradictory. We recognize it by distinguishing 'hate speech' from other forms of free speech. Some states ban 'hate speech' legally, other states refrain from a legal ban and leave it to society to discourage it politically and morally. My own preference is for the political and intellectual over the legal. While I think you have a right to say what you think, I will not support any thing you say or write. I also reserve the right to disagree with you, vehemently if necessary. It is one thing to support the right of Charlie Hebdo journalists to print the cartoons they did, and quite another to reprint them as an expression of support.
In many Western countries, there are laws against blasphemy. But they are restricted to official Christian denominations. For example, Britain has laws criminalizing blasphemy, as do several other European countries, but they do not apply to Islam.
Before the Second World War, Jews were the customary target of satirists of a particular type. Voltaire, popularly considered the grand defender of the freedom of satire, was an ardent anti-Semite, and a number of his satires targeted Jews and Judaism. After the Holocaust, Jews were brought into the Western political fold. So today the law in many European countries, including France, criminalises Holocaust denial. But no law criminalises the denial of colonial genocide, including widespread colonial massacres in Algeria, the country of origin of the largest number of French Muslims. The political and social compact in Europe has been evolving historically. The state stepped in to moderate the conflict between ardent Christians and secular Christians. Jews were included in this compact after the Holocaust. Muslims have never been part of this compact. Of course, it is possible to include Muslims in the social and political compact in France. But that will take a major political, intellectual and cultural struggle. Centers of power—and people—in France will have to accept that it is possible to be French and Muslims, that is OK for a pious Muslim woman to wear a 'hijab', as it is for a Catholic nun—so long as this act of piety does not banish either from participation in the public sphere.
That people "need to learn to laugh at themselves" is often a point made by publishers of provocative cartoons. You could place those same words in the mouth of the publishers of the Danish Cartoons or Charlie Hebdo and it would reflect their views accurately, that the problem with Muslims is that they lack a sense of humour, and that the solution is for Muslims to learn to laugh at themselves. But laughing at oneself is not quite the same as being laughed at, especially as a group. Let me return to the question of what you call the 'blasphemous cartoons', I think they should be called 'bigoted cartoons'.
The problem with the ongoing discussion of Charlie Hebdo is that it tends to confuse bigotry with blasphemy. I am personally more favourable to blasphemy, but have no time for bigots or bigotry.
Blasphemy is part of an important historical practice that involves critiquing a tradition from within. That kind of capacity for laughing at oneself is absolutely necessary for the ongoing reform of traditions and cultures in the face of changing realities, changing mores and changing intellectual constructs. In Islam, theright to critique tradition from within is known as Ijtihad. It has a long and honourable history.
The French like to think of themselves as the custodians of tradition of liberty, equality and fraternity. This is true but not the whole truth. The French also need to think of the dark side of their tradition: the colonial tradition, both in Indo-China and Africa. The French need to recognize that the Algerians, the North Africans and the West Africans from the former colonies are in France as immigrants, because the French were in their countries in the first place. These immigrants have run away from the consequences of the colonialism. If the solution—France—has turned sour, where do these immigrants run to now? To an imaginary Islamic state? If a second or third generation North Africanis still considered an immigrant in France, should that not provide us a clue as to nature of the problem? Where lies the problem, the promise of the Islamist state, or the reality of immigrant lives in contemporary France, or both?

Rajgopal Saikumar, Speaking Power to Satirical Truth (excerpt) published in The Hindu
Several of the anti-Islamic cartoons of Charlie Hebdo are not really 'satires' in the strict sense, for they seem to lack the complexity and the nuances implicit in the genre.
Understanding a joke presupposes a common social world; a shared intersubjective community. There need not be an agreement about the worth of the joke itself, but it presupposes the fact that a sense of humour requires a shared life world and not an individualistic, solipsistic and atomized world. Humour is, therefore, highly local; it throws light on our situation, it tells us something about who we are, it brings back to consciousness the hidden and it familiarizes the unspoken. R.K.Laxman's political cartoons, 'The Common Man', used domestic, everyday images of a middle class family to challenge mainstream politics. Although he mounts a successful challenge to politics, his portrayal of domesticity unknowingly reveal gendered relations within Indian homes, for instance, between the husband and the wife. In a similar analogy Richard Seymour suggests, Charlie Hebdo may be mocking the extremists, but that mocking itself reveals a certain racist undertone.
The flip side of jokes and satires being highly context- specific and localized is that the humour can often also be parochial, ridiculing outsiders and foreigners.
Is humour and this 'art of satire'—in itself and inherently—worthy of protection as several are claiming it to be? Not necessarily. A joke or laughter from a position of superiority over other people considered inferior is unworthy of moral support, although it may obtain legal protection. The philosopher Jason Stanley pointed out that there is a difference in France between mocking the Pope and mocking Prophet Muhammad. "The Pope is the representative of the dominant traditional religion of the majority of French citizens. Prophet Muhammad is the revered figure of an oppressed minority. To mock the Pope is to thumb one's nose at a genuine authority, an authority of majority. To mock Prophet Muhammad is to add insult to abuse. This argument by Mr. Stanley is an instance of humour where the power relation is already precarious –embedded in a culture of white, Western supremacy. So the cartoon may not be speaking resistance to power, but may itself be embodied in power, ridiculing the powerless.
The debate is fast becoming a "liberal democracy" versus "religious extremism" rupture, but it is not clear whether liberty has such a clear moral victory over these offended subjects of humour.
There is absolutely no justification for the brutal attacks on Charlie Hebdo and solidarity with the publication is unconditional. The attempt here is to merely nuance the debates on the second aspect of this issue: the rhetoric of liberal, democratic free speech.
The notion of "power" is being ignored in our thinking about free speech in liberal democracies. Liberalism may encourage liberty and autonomy in speech and expression, but we are not abstract individuals freely expressing our thoughts in an ideal society. We are thrown into a shared and coexistent world where power relations obscure the suspicious neatness of liberalism.

How ISL is putting Indian football on the world map
Indians have long nursed a smouldering passion for football and sporting clubs have been around for decades in the country. A few of these hallowed clubs are over a century old, with an illustrious history and devoted fanbase of their own. In the past though, their woeful refrain was how India had yet to make a mark on the international footballing scene. That has changed over the past few years.
'Safer For Each Other 2.0': Uber reassures riders of safety
NEW DELHI: Uber has launched the second-leg of its marketing campaign, 'Safer For Each Other 2.0,' to reassure riders of various precautionary measures it is undertaking for rider and driver safety, including in-car partitions and frequent disinfection of vehicles.

Festive cheer in news organisations as pay cuts are reversed
NEW DELHI: Months after the Coronavirus reared its ugly head and made a shambles of the economy, the news industry is slowly coming out of the woods. This is apparent from the fact that several news organisations have reversed pay cuts that were introduced with the onset of the Covid2019 pandemic. Some players have even announced appraisals for their staff, making the festive period brighter.
Here's a look at the news media groups who signalled 'all is well' with the business through their recent actions:
Wednesday, November 4, 2020 - 09:00
Covid2019 pushes PVR into the red in Q2
NEW DELHI: Multiplex chain PVR closed the quarter ended 30 September 2020 in the red with a net loss of Rs 184 crore, as compared to profit of Rs 48 crores during the corresponding period of last year. This comes as no surprise, considering that cinemas were shut all over the country for the better part of the year under government directives to check the spread of Covid2019.
Indian news industry needs mid-course correction: Zee News' Sudhir Chaudhary
NEW DELHI:, Zee News CEO and editor-in-chief Sudhir Chaudhary expressed his discontent towards BARC ratings and the news channels flaunting them on a weekly basis during a virtual fireside chat with Indiantelevision.com founder, CEO, and editor-in-chief Anil Wanvari on the concluding day of News Television Awards Summit 2020.
RIL posts strong Q2 earnings, media biz betters performance
KOLKATA: Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) reported strong Q2 earnings on Friday. The telecom and retail business has driven the growth and the media business also bettered its performance.
"We delivered strong overall operational and financial performance compared to the previous quarter with recovery in petrochemicals and retail segment, and sustained growth in digital services business," RIL CMD Mukesh Ambani said.
Maruti Suzuki clocks 1% net profit in Q2
NEW DELHI: Maruti Suzuki India has reported a net profit of Rs 1,371, a slim growth of one per cent year-on-year for the quarter ended 30 September 2020.
The Q2 bottom line of India's largest car manufacturer is still an improvement from a year-on-year loss of Rs 249.5 crore in the previous quarter, owing to Covid2019 related disruptions and lockdowns.
Auto industry steps on the gas to lift festive season sales
NEW DELHI: India's automobile industry has had a bumpy ride these last few years. Add a global pandemic on top of that and the sector was completely stalled. However, with the onset of the festive season, the industry finally seems to be on the road to recovery.


In return for financial support that represents a tiny fraction of profits, large corporations are receiving "endorsements" in the form of product badges promoting health benefits or sustainability efforts — despite the fact that many of these corporations have rotten sustainability records. This includes purveyors of corporate coffee, including Nestlé and JM Smuckers (Folgers).
It isn't apparent from the badges or labels what they truly represent, nor in some cases is it even possible to figure out from viewing the websites of the organizations, corporations, or sponsors.
Now Walmart is putting a "Made by Sustainability Leaders" badge on many products. While this gives the appearance that these are products are good for the environment, the badge really represents any product made by a company determined to be a sustainability leader based on the (self-administered, unverified) TSC survey. Not only do we not know the TSC criteria, the badge does not pertain to the actual sustainabilty of the individual product, and none of this is apparent to the consumer.
Are these corporations truly "sustainability leaders"? One probably needn't go much further than noting paper products by Georgia Pacific are badged by Walmart. Georgia Pacific is a TSC member that is owned by the Koch brothers, and its products are boycott targets. Other Walmart suppliers that are not TSC members (e.g., Nestlé) can also display the badge; Walmart uses the toolkits developed by TSC to rank its suppliers and hand out badges.
Other TSC members include JM Smuckers, Monsanto, Dow Chemical, Dupont, and BASF. Following Walmart's lead, other retailers or the corporations themselves could label their own products with some similar sort of badge or claim. I can't get behind a mystery badge that puts money in the pockets of companies that are often so egregiously anti-environment.
For more details, read this excellent article by The Grist about this greenwashing initiative.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) has allowed Kraft to put it's "Kids Eat Right" badge on their pasteurized prepared cheese product. This seems dubious on the face of it, and more so when you learn Kraft is a major sponsor of AND. The New York Times has a report on this initiative, noting that other nutrition scientists are so uncomfortable with the Academy's funding by big food corporate sponsorships that they have formed their own group, Dietitians for Professional Integrity, that calls for better transparency and ethical sponsorship. There are more resources on their website regarding the conflict of interest generated by corporate sponsorships.
The proliferation of different types of certifications, labels, endorsements, badges, etc. is confusing to a public that is already suspicious about them. We can debate the legitimacy and ethics of TSC, AND, and similar organizations all day, it really doesn't matter. What does matter is that the basis for the badges, endorsements, and labels must be honest, transparent, and easily accessible and understood by the public.
Same goes for genuine certifications. People need to be able to understand what (and who) is behind the certification. When they do not, it leaves consumers to be duped into purchasing products that are not sustainably produced, or so distrustful of certifications or other claims that they disregard them all and just buy what is cheap and convenient. Either way, it's a win for the profits of these companies (which in turn increases their power and influence) and a loss for the environment.

Q: Get ElasticSearch simple_query_string to support fuzzy I have a record in my ElasticSearch index with the term "cleveland". When I do this search:
"query": {
    "multi_match": {
        "fields": [
            "firstname^3",
            "lastname^3",
            "home_address",
            "home_city"
        ],
        "query": "clevela",
        "fuzziness": "AUTO"
    }
},

it successfully finds the term. The missing two characters are within the fuzziness threshold. But I'd like to support the extended query syntax of simple_query_string (+, -, phrase search, etc.) So I tried this syntax:
"query": {
    "simple_query_string": {
        "query": "clevela",
        "fields": [
            "firstname^3",
            "lastname^3",
            "home_address",
            "home_city"
        ],
        "lenient": true
    }
},

and it does not find the term. Fuzziness appears to be turned off. How do I turn it on?

A: In a simple query string, you need to specify the fuzziness parameter, by adding ~N (N is the max edit distance) after the search term. Modify your search query as
{
  "query": {
    "simple_query_string": {
      "query": "clevela~2",               // note this
      "fields": [
        "firstname^3",
        "lastname^3",
        "home_address",
        "home_city"
      ],
      "lenient": true
    }
  }
}

Featured Club: International Students Association
Michaela Esau
The International Students Association (INSA) at William Jewell College is an organization that assists students who came to the United States for school in overcoming challenges that come with living in a different country.
INSA does not act as a normal club – rather it provides services that students from all over the globe require. Sofia Arthurs-Schoppe, junior chemistry and communication major and president of the association spoke with The Hilltop Monitor about some of these services.
"Things like information about visas, information about how to get a driver's licence, information about social security numbers, help with taxes, all of those kinds of things that I don't think typically domestic students think about because [they] don't have to deal with them because [they] grow up with them," said Arthurs-Schoppe.
The group serves all international students at Jewell, including those from New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Bolivia and Egypt.
Arthurs-Schoppe and Julia Yamate Germiniano de Almeida, first-year civil engineering major, lead the club. They send out emails to international students when due dates for important paperwork are approaching and represent students through the student Diversity Education Work Group which meets in Student Life every other week.
"There are some pretty specific deadlines, for example OPT (optional practical training) is something we can get to extend our stay after we graduate, and you need to apply for that early in spring semester, so around that time we meet a lot," Arthurs- Schoppe said. "We meet a lot right before winter break because every time we leave the country we need to get our visas signed. We meet to make sure that people know that and people get that information because there's not really a mechanism to tell people that."
There is also a mentorship program set in place for international students who are preparing to come to Jewell.
"We talk to all the new international students and help them prepare, like what do they need to bring, what kind of climate is it here, what's a normal outfit and things like that," Arthurs-Schoppe said.
The turnover for international student advisors has been remarkably high for the past several years. Arthurs-Schoppe remarked on how this has made the club all the more necessary.
"I think we've been through four or five [advisors] since I've been here, and that's like three years, so that's absurd. So that means a lot of the time they're learning, too, and so it makes it really hard for students to know accurate information," Arthurs-Schoppe commented.
A major goal of the association for this year is to become more sustainable for the years to come. It is important to the group that it maintains its structure as leaders graduate. They also want to make sure they are able to provide international students with the information that they need.
"Our goal for this year is to set up a system of continuity so that people who come in are able to learn regardless of what is happening officially," Arthurs-Schoppe commented.
The idea of coming to the U.S. for schooling is one that is very enticing to many people born in other countries. Arthurs-Schoppe explained why that is.
"Coming to the States for university is something a lot of people overseas dream of doing because you have amazing opportunities in this country, you have these cool programs like the liberal arts that just don't exist overseas, and you have this system of financial aid that a lot of countries don't have," said Arthurs-Schoppe.
It is appealing to come to the U.S. for school – yet fewer and fewer of these international students are coming to Jewell. There are only three new international students on campus this year and less than 20 in total.
Arthurs-Schoppe thinks that Jewell should recruit more international students because of how beneficial it is to both the students and the college.
"It's a great opportunity for Jewell to expand not only its enrollment numbers but its diversity, its perspectives and its outreach," Arthurs-Schoppe said. "I think by neglecting to recruit international students in a very intense and intentional manner is just missing a huge opportunity."

By using WinCatalog 2018, you have 3 options for adding file content: add the entire disks to the catalog; add specific folders without a need to scan the whole disk contents; and individual files.
WinCatalog scans disks or folders, remembers each file and preserves the entire nested hierarchical folder structure.
"I recently bought WinCatalog. It is GREAT! Once I got used to it, is has been extremely useful. I have a CD catalog of over 600 CDs and DVDs. And over 50 1Tb external, USB, disks. WinCatalog handled cataloging and indexing them easily. AND it is very simple to find anything. This is one of the best purchases of software I have ever made. Thanks for a great product!"
When you add a disk or a folder to the catalog you can assign a disk number that is automatically incremented with every new disk and a physical location.
Disk location is an attribute that helps you in finding disks where they are physically stored. For example, on the picture the location is "CD Wallet 1, page 5". You can read more about location below on this page.
After adding a disk or folder you can see the complete tree structure on the left and the contents of the selected folder in the middle panel.
When you select a file or a group of files you can immediately see the most important properties in the right panel. The set of the displayed properties depends on an item type. For example, for a picture it displays the general properties, file details, and info grabbed from Exif tags. The thumbnail preview is also shown for pictures, and the preview will be shown even if the original disk or file is unavailable at the moment.
WinCatalog adds every file found on your disks to the catalog while preserving the original tree hierarchy of the nested folders and remembering the files' attributes: path, size, dates of creation and modification, etc. By default, it skips system folders such as $Recycle.Bin and others but you can turn this option off in the program's options.
It parses the archives' contents and adds all the files from inside the archives to the catalog. The supported archives are: Zip (including the new Zipx), Rar/Rar5, and 7zip.
In the same way WinCatalog 2018 parses the contents of ISO disk images (ISO, NRG).
It extracts ID3 tags for music files (Artist name, Album title, Cover image (see the picture on the right), and Composition name, etc.) and meta data (bitrate, duration, etc.) from music files: MP3, WAV, WMA, OGG, OGA, ASF, M4A, M4B, M4P, and MP4.
One of the most advanced features: WinCatalog grabs picture thumbnails for the most popular image formats and makes them available for preview without a connection to the original files! The supported types are: JPEG, PNG, BMP, ICO, GIF, Tiff, WMF, and EMF.
In addition to picture thumbnails, WinCatalog grabs Exif tags from digital photos including comments, resolution, camera model, focal length, and other metrics.
WinCatalog grabs thumbnails and basic media information (duration, resolution, audio channels, etc) for video files.
For eBooks WinCatalog extracts a name, a description, a list of authors and the cover image. The supported formats are Epub, Mobi, FB2.
WinCatalog keeps a piece or every text file, which helps you to preview the file without the need to physically insert the disk.
WinCatalog parses HTML pages (html, htm files) and grabs the title and tags of these pages.
For PDF files Wincatalog creates thimbnail for the first page.
All processing settings are adjustable and can be modified on the Processing options page of the Program's option.
Using WinCatalog 2018 you can catalog as many disks, files, and folders as you want. WinCatalog uses an industry standard database engine SQLite in the core. That is why it operates quickly regardless of how many records (files, folders, and disks) your catalog has: hundreds, thousands, many, or even more.
Using WinCatalog 2018 you can create virtual (blue) folders' structure and move your files, folders, and disks into these folders. Use of virtual (blue) folders makes your collection more structured.
You can drag disks, folders, or individual files into these folders without losing a connection to the physical disk structure.
In the picture shown below you can see the "Panoramic" virtual folder that contains panoramic photos from various disks.
For better data representation you can tag your items and use as many tags as you wish. Spent a week on a vacation? Tag all photos from there using, say, 2 tags: "Vacation" and "2014". If you stored a movie, you may tag it by genre and by the year of production. If you have cataloged documents you may want to tag them by using a client, company name, or a division.
Furthermore, in some cases WinCatalog creates tags automatically. For example, when it scans a music folder and grabs ID3 tags it creates tags for Artists' names and links these tags with files. Full automation: you do not need to type anything or even click anywhere!
In the picture below you can see the tags that were created for music files. All the tags were automatically grabbed and linked with files when WinCatalog cataloged a disk or a music folder.
Using WinCatalog 2018 you can search through your entire collection and find in seconds exactly what you're looking for.
Use natural search or be more concrete using special search operators, brackets, and quotes.
When the search is done you can filter the results, no matter how many results it contains. Use the search filter to see files and folders matching one or more specific criteria.
Find duplicate files and folders in your catalog. Just mark fields you wish to check and WinCatalog will do the rest. Sort search results by a desired column and duplicate files will be stacked together.
In the picture below all three fields (Name, Date Modified and Size) are equal and both "DSCF5367.JPG" files are shown together as duplicate files.
You may also calculate the checksum for files while scanning disks and then find duplicate files (e.g. duplicate pictures, duplicate photos, duplicate mp3, etc.) by a checksum, even if files have different names.
Using WinCatalog 2018 you can create as many search tabs as you wish. This feature allows you to have multiple searches through your entire disk catalog simultaneously.
Export a part of your disk catalog as an XML file, web page or a CSV file. Using these popular formats you are able to publish your data over the local network or Internet, modify it, and print with any spreadsheet application such as MS Excel, Open Office Calc, or Google Spreadsheet.
By passing command line arguments to WinCatalog 2018, you can automate basic tasks like adding new or updating previously catalogued disks, folders or files, starting new searches, finding duplicates, and more.
For example, you can add a task to Windows Task Scheduler to launch WinCatalog and update a folder every night (or using your own schedule).
All supported commands are described in the user manual (pdf version is also available).
When the contents of the disk changes, WinCatalog updates it very quickly. It skips unmodified files - it makes the update process very fast. When the disk data is updated, the previously entered comments and tags (keywords) are preserved.
Browse your collection in a grid view to see detailed info about all the files and folder or switch to the thumbnails view to preview all the pictures instantly.
You do not need to open additional windows to view an item's properties. All important info is displayed automatically on the Properties panel.
Using WinCatalog you can quickly operate with your files: you can launch them to open with the default application, open file locations in Windows Explorer, or even copy files to a new location directly from WinCatalog.
While performing a file operation (i.e. while copying, launching, or opening in Explorer) a file from a missing disk, WinCatalog will display an Insert Disk message where it will tell you all the info about the disk including the physical location.
Use the contact manager to track who of your friends or colleagues has taken the particular disk and when.
You will never forget who you loaned your disks! No lost disks anymore!
On the pictures below you can see that the loaned disk and all subitems are marked with the Hand icon. The loaner name is displayed in the "Lent to" column. The right picture shows the Contact manager.
WinCatalog allows you to catalog not only disks but the disks' locations as well. Where do you keep your disks physically? In wallets? Or in boxes? Maybe a rescue disk with important backups is kept in your wall-safe? Manage all locations with WinCatalog.
WinCatalog displays Disk Location in the properties of every file from the disk and in the info shown at the Insert Disk dialog (see more).
WinCatalog 2018 is compatible with Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8 (works as a desktop app), Windows 7, Windows XP and Windows Vista. WinCatalog also works in Mac OS X using Parallels or other virtualization solution.


Wire reports Oct. 6, 2014 Updated: Oct. 6, 2014 11:26 p.m.
ESPN president John Skipper (from left), Turner Broadcasting System president David Levy, Wizards owner Ted Leonis and NBA commissioner Adam Silver announce the new deal.
NBA player salaries and owner profits are expected to skyrocket after the league announced Monday a new media rights extension with partners ESPN/ABC/Disney and TNT/Turner Broadcasting that will almost triple annual revenue from $930 million to $2.67 billion through 2025.
The deal will be worth $24 billion, according to the New York Times, during the next nine years and take effect after the 2015-16 season. The league's current contract with Disney is worth $485 million per year, while Turner shelled out $445 million. How the two companies will divide the spending for the next deal has yet to be reported.
The massive infusion of money will have a ripple effect within the NBA and throughout the sports world, but the primary effect will be felt in regard to player salaries and free agency.
Teams, players and their agents have been anticipating the explosion for some time. LeBron James was eligible for a four-year, $88 million contract when he decided to return to the Cavaliers but elected to sign a two-year deal — with an opt-out clause after the first year — with the expectation that his maximum contract would be substantially larger with a new, more lucrative broadcast deal by 2016.
Players and owners agreed to split 50 percent of basketball-related income — revenue from broadcast rights, merchandise and ticket sales, etc. — in the last collective bargaining agreement reached after a lockout in November 2011. The salary cap increased from $58 million to $63 million for the 2014-15 season, the largest one-year increase since the cap was created. For perspective, the cap had only moved up by $635,000 from the 2011-12 season to the 2013-14 season.
With broadcast revenue set to increase by almost $1.74 billion, players stand to gain an additional $870 million while the pool of about 450 remains the same — unless the league decides to expand, an option that NBA commissioner Adam Silver said earlier this year he isn't currently considering.
The expected revenue spike from the new broadcast deal for the 2016-17 season could make the 2014-15 increase laughable in comparison. In preparation for a "profound effect" that the deal will have on salaries, Silver said he planned to work with the players' union to create a possible bridge for next season to avoid a dramatic change in the salary structure.
Wizards 85, Bulls 81: In Chicago, the Bulls' Derrick Rose scored 11 points in 14 minutes, and Pau Gasol added eight in 25 minutes in the preseason opener for both teams. Glen Rice Jr. scored 18 points in 21 minutes to lead Washington.
Roberson out for season: Colorado star and Wagner-ex Arielle Roberson will have season-ending surgery Wednesday to repair her left ACL, which she tore in a routine drill last week, the university announced.

Thanks for a great lib!
The x-axis is not displayed properly – the 48 datapoints are spread over the last 24 h (1 sample/30min). I have tried using interval and intervalType in axisX but without success. And the tooltip is not behaving as expected either. Is there a way of setting format or do I have to override tooltip:content property to get format timestamp?

TimeStamp should be assigned to x and not to label. Labels are considered as string literals. I've fixed the same. Let me know if its working as expected.

Syria: Iran Guards Commander killed in a desert ambush
7 Giugno 2021 By Redazione Islamedianalysis
Iranian military adviser Hassan Abdullahzadeh and his companion Mohsen Abbasi were killed in an ambush by ISIS in the Syrian desert, according to Asharq al-Awsat.
Two members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) were killed in an ambush set by ISIS in central Syria.
ISIS ambushed a military convoy in the al-Sukhnah area, east of Palmyra city in the eastern countryside of Homs, killing IRGC military adviser Hassan Abdullahzadeh and his companion Mohsen Abbasi.
Iranian media announced the death of both IRGC members on Thursday.
Sources said Abdullahzadeh was the security officer at the Sayyida Zainab region, south of Damascus, then Alboukamal area, and was one of the most prominent Iranian military advisors during the Damascus and Aleppo battles.
Iran's influence
The Fars News Agency reported that both militants died in an ambush set up by ISIS in the desert area between Deir-ez-Zor and Palmyra.
A picture published by Mehr News Agency showed Abdullahzadeh with slain Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a US strike near Baghdad airport in early 2020.
Syrian opposition media sources had reported about a large-scale attack launched by ISIS on Thursday, targeting a military convoy of seven Iranian militia vehicles in the al-Sukhnah area.
According to the sources, some 25 of the convoy members were killed, including the senior IRGC commanders.
The desert areas east of Homs and Deir-ez-Zor are areas under Iran's influence, with Alboukamal, on the border with Iraq, as its stronghold.
IRGC forces and Iran-backed militias, including the Fatemiyoun Division, Zainabiyoun Brigade, the Iraqi Hezbollah and the Lebanese Hezbollah, as well as Syrian regime forces and their allied militias, are all deployed in the region.
ISIS cells are present in various hideouts in Syria's desert and they have been intensifying their attacks there.
Hours after the al-Sukhnah area ambush, the ISIS targeted Fatemiyoun militants on the outskirts of Shoula town in northern Deir-ez-Zor, killing and injuring several militants and detaining others.
In April, the Russian air force launched a military campaign to support regime forces and its allied militias to pursue ISIS cells in the desert.
