4. Reduce time spent looking at pictures of reality TV stars and cute animals.
It's a little early to judge 3, but I'm definitely putting in the effort, which is making 1 and 2 pretty tricky (read: I've failed completely). I've installed a Facebook blocker, so 4's looking pretty good so far.
Like everyone else, my values and behaviours are complex and not entirely consistent. I have many different versions of the 'good' and they're not always reducible to a neat framework. Despite the intellectual appeal of ethical frameworks built on a single unifying principle (like maximising happiness or virtue), they're often better at prescribing behaviour than predicting it. Our conscious and unconscious decisions are rooted in social relationships and wider cultural narratives. They can vary over time and between situations, drawing on a huge number of factors, and often we can't fully articulate what makes us believe something is right, or why we took a course of action.
The complexity of our moral decision-making is part of what makes us human. It reflects the complexity of the social worlds we live in. We hold multiple identities. We value many 'goods': loving relationships, physical and mental wellbeing, social status or a decent wifi connection. For me, the real problems come when we discard this nuanced approach for something much more deterministic, which reduces the diversity of value to a single dimension.
Unfortunately, in our economy one form of value tends to take precedence over others, and it distorts the way we see and act in the world. Want to know how a country's doing? Look up its GDP. Want to know how your company's doing? Track the share price. Want to know whether Brexit was a good idea? Ask the markets.
This sort of financial determinism, reducing value to a single figure, has a very real and very dangerous effect. Decisions are often made on the basis of short-term profit maximisation, without consideration of the wider 'goods' which might be supported or destroyed, such as the local workforce or global atmosphere. And this isn't just a technical: it's a cultural malaise.
When we go to work, we're usually asked to leave at home the things that matter most to us as humans, from our families to our hopes for the future. Too often, a competitive corporate culture and narrow view of business success mean we feel pressured to play our own part in the 'maximising ROI' game, for fear of rejection or isolation.
The flipside of this corporate culture is the need for an uncritical consumer culture. As consumers, we often view a good deal as one which has minimum financial cost or maximum financial gain for us, without questioning what other sorts of 'good' our purchases might be creating or destroying. When best-buy tables only use one measure of what's best, the message is clear: if you don't get the cheapest deal, you're not a savvy consumer.
While the Fairtrade movement has done important work to connect us with the wider impacts of our purchasing decisions, most of us are a long way from integrating the full range of human values into our purchasing decisions. This isn't because we're all fundamentallyweak or greedy people - simply that our thoughts and behaviour are inevitably shaped by narratives and norms that support the status quo.
Money matters, but we need to find a way to include the other things that matter in our financial and consumption decisions. It's an urgent task, because our habit of reducing every decision to short-term profit or loss is leading us to make bad decisions. We're investing billions in fossil fuel extraction while we creep closer and closer towards catastrophic climate change; we're consuming so much stuff that it would take 1.6 planets to keep pace our needs; rising levels of inequality mean that 8 men own the same wealth as half of humanity. This doesn't sound like the sort of world most people would call 'good'.
How can we begin to shift this warped logic? Ideas abound in theory and practice, from triple bottom line reporting and Gross National Happiness to Benefit Corporations and values-based banks. We're seeing the beginnings of a more human approach to business and finance, but these pockets of hope need our support if they are to change the wider economy. That doesn't just mean buying from social enterprises or investing in sustainable funds - it means doing our bit to change the prevailing culture in which we see the world through the lens of money.
We need to create more space for everyone to express and act on the things that really matter to them, in both their professional and personal lives. We need to subvert the culture that denigrates human values as 'soft', when humans couldn't exist without care and connection. We need to challenge ourselves to resist the role of uncritical consumer, to question whether more stuff will make us happier, and to consider whether what we do buy is produced and sourced in a way we can support.
I'm not alone in questioning our current direction. From Just Living to Business Romanticism, more and more people are proposing new ways of approaching our economic lives. But that doesn't mean it's easy to hold tight to our true human values in practice, in a financialised culture that teaches us to be consumers before citizens. Our actions alone may not feel like a significant force, but as one of millions of small actions of resistance, we can be part of a generational change. And given the alternative, I think it's worth a shot. I'm going to make it resolution number 5 and I'm going to stick to this one. Even if I falter on the baby goats.

UK Court Denies US Request for the Extradition of WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange
By Poulami Nag
Updated January 5, 2021 01:15 +08
5 Things You Didnt Know About Julian Assange founder of Wikileaks
A district court judge in the United Kingdom has denied the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States. Assange faces espionage charges in the USA for his brainchild WikiLeaks. Reportedly, the ruling was delivered at Westminster Magistrates' Court this morning, where Judge Vanessa Baraitser noted that the risk of suicide is too high in Julian Assange. She further added, extradition to American prison system would be oppressive and it could have grave impact on the fragile mental health of Assange.
"I am satisfied that the risk that Mr. Assange will commit suicide is a substantial one," writes Judge Vanessa Baraitser in the 132-page long judgement. She also discussed the testimony of several psychiatrists during last year's extradition hearing of Julian Assange.
"I accept that oppression as a bar to extradition requires a high threshold. I also accept that there is a strong public interest in giving effect to treaty obligations and that this is an important factor to have in mind. However, I am satisfied that, in these harsh conditions, Mr. Assange's mental health would deteriorate causing him to commit suicide with the "single minded determination" of his autism spectrum disorder.
"I find that the mental condition of Mr. Assange is such that it would be oppressive to extradite him to the United States of America," the judge added.

Although the ruling orders Assange's immediate release, at the time of writing, he remains in British custody, as his bail application is still pending. The US government will now proceed against the UK court ruling with an appeal.
UK had detained Assange initially for violating bail conditions and was sentenced to jail for 50 weeks. He faces many charges in the US including conspiracy to hack under the much controversial Espionage Act. This case is seen as one of the most crucial cases in terms of press freedoms and freedom of expression vs state power.
Will Trump Pardon Assange?
The WikiLeaks founder, in the USA, had published a string of classified information using his online platform, which the US Justice Department had stated to be "one of the largest compromises of classified information in the history of the United States."
The case has raised concerns worldwide. A number of legal scholars have voiced their support towards the WikiLeaks founder, as they see publishing information. People in the UK have also showcased many protests in support of Assange and opposing the extradition.
Reportedly, President Donald Trump was considering pardon for him. However, the December round of appeals did not include his name. Now, it's not clear whether or not Trump will mediate in the matter.

Chef Nikki, a perfect picture of health, was engaging and shared a wealth of information related to healthy eating at our 2014 Family Reunion. We had to pry her away from many of our cousins so that she could offer great coaching tips to make our lives healthier. "Diabetes and heart disease — that hits home. If you eat right and drink right, you can prevent these conditions. I truly believe that instead of the drive-through, let your fast food be the rotisserie chicken in the deli, and grab a salad. You can get in and out as fast and it adds years to your life." She used great stories to get her points across. She told the crowd how Coach Shaw, her husband, had been eating ground turkey for years without even knowing it. She knew she wanted to introduce healthier alternatives for their traditional meals, but when she first tested the idea of substituting ground turkey for ground beef he told her that it didn't make sense to use turkey in tacos.
With better health in mind she started making the transition to turkey. He was enjoying the healthier tacos but didn't know he wasn't eating beef until she decided to reveal that fact that he had been eating the turkey taco for years.

UP THE ANTE!
Subject: UP THE ANTE! Sun Oct 16, 2011 6:21 pm
Jairus walked stiffly through the hallways in formal military dress. Today was the day, he told himself. The day there would be some changes around here. It had been precisely one week since Emperor Leni- Empress Lenina had vanished, and according to standard protocol, he was overdue on assuming control. So today he would become the ruler of the entire human race. Which was like... forty people, maybe. But still.
He was also overdue on cracking down on the investigation about Lenina. There weren't any security camera's in Lenina's room, so knowing what actually happened was impossible. But there was only a single hallway that led to her room, with a guard posted there constantly. As the camera video showed, Lenina had entered her room at "night", and never come back out. He had known this because he had been the guard posted outside the room. He had never moved from that spot. Therefore, the Empress had simply vanished into thin air. In other words, Neon Star or little Suzie Hamstapple had done some sort of black magic that made Lenina go poof. Or, Lenina had a trapdoor he didn't know about, wanted to escape for some strange reason, which was very unlikely, and left Station 2 without passing by a single security camera or ever opening the docking hangar's door. UNLESS... someone else knew about the trapdoor and went through it, knocked Lenina out quietly enough for Jairus not to hear anything, drag her through the trapdoor and through the rest of the station without passing by a single security camera, then left the station without ever opening that hangar door. Most likely she was just warped out by freaky boy or freaky girl.
Jairus reached up and tapped his earpiece, activating a communications channel that would broadcast his voice over the entire spacestation. "All humans and military personnel," he barked in his easily recognizable military tone, "Natural, artificial, or otherwise, report to the auditorium ASAP. There will be an announcement in twenty minutes..." The investigation could wait. Right now, it was time to focus on the fact he was in charge. To be honest, he was curious about how the humans would react to the hearing of Lenina's absence. Sadness? Happiness? Annoyance? Indifference?
He strolled into the auditorium, quieter than space, and stepped onto a platform raised several meters above three rows of seats facing it. He took a deep breath, straightened his uniform, looked at the clock, and folded his hands behind his back.
SHOWTIME.
Subject: Re: UP THE ANTE! Mon Jan 09, 2012 1:34 pm
Xin had just checked in after being dropped off -forcibly- by Zealot on this station when the announcement rang through the station. The said man had already left, going out to look for poor pirates and other ships whose technological level was too low to be a threat to himself, but good enough of a prize to hunt down and kill for whatever parts their ship's debris might leave behind or whatever bounty might be on their head. Xin on the other hand had been left behind here, in this crappy station where he knew nothing and saw nothing interesting. At least the woman who got him checked in and signed up as a human was nice, unlike Zealot.
"All humans and military personnel, natural, artificial, or otherwise, report to the auditorium ASAP. There will be an announcement in twenty minutes..."
Xin only thought about it. It sounded like a order, the man barked it like a order, and the station was reacting to it as if it was an order. But was it an order that he should go with. For he knows the man in the mike could be a crazy psycho who want to kill-
Then he saw a picture of a girl and the big words "Missing" beneath it.
And the order Empress too.
"..." Xin thought about this again. Military officer. Missing Empress. Order for all to come to a meeting. ASAP. He grinned. "Just the alpha male growling to everyone, eh?" he muttered under his breath at a volume inaudible to everyone except himself. "Let's hope he ain't a psycho like this poster suggests the Empress is ..." he muttred as he passed by the holo-poster of the drunken empress. 'Wait, why would they put up that kind of picture in the first place?' he thought as he walked away towards the auditorium.

Shadow of the Hegemon: Why is it, to Canadian Columnists, "Bold" Means "Right-Wing"?
Why is it, to Canadian Columnists, "Bold" Means "Right-Wing"?
So I opined earlier about Canadian opinion journalism. I said it was almost uniformly terrible. (So is the American version, but you've got more Glenn Greenwalds and the like out there.) That isn't quite true: Gwynn Dyer is excellent, as is Antonia Zerbisias, whose old blog on Canadian media was a savage indictment that anybody would be proud of.
Their new pitch would be: Elect us and we will eliminate the federal deficit fast and pay down the debt that Canada incurred to fight the recession. Not for us the Conservative approach of stringing out deficits and building up debt, thereby leaving Canada more vulnerable than it would otherwise be to external shocks such as inflation. We Liberals balanced the budget and kept it in surplus when last in government, and we'll do it again.
How? By raising the goods and services tax by two points, thereby bringing in about $70-billion over five years. With that money and reasonable growth, Canada would almost balance the books in 2012-13, and run a surplus the next year.
...Politics aside, the risk of a tax hike is slower growth. But if the Bank of Canada knew fiscal policy would be tightened, because a government had been elected on that platform, it could ease monetary policy in a few years. Or the government could phase in the GST increase if a tax hike would unduly threaten growth. Or it could offset some of the GST hike with lower taxes on incomes – something almost every economist would applaud.
This is all babble. This over-focus on deficits in Canada is absolutely ludicrous: the Great Recession is not over and shows signs of double-dipping, unemployment is sagging (at best) and horrifying in certain regions, inflation is as unlikely there as it is in America and Canada doesn't have that bad a debt-to-GDP ratio to begin with!
He even acknowledges that the debt-to-GDP ratio will be declining in the piece itself!
Canada is now headed for a less-than-optimal postrecession landing. We'll get deficits stretching until almost the end of the next decade, with an accumulation of debt (although a declining debt-to-GDP ratio).
So why the hell are you babbling about debt, Jeffrey?
But more importantly, why on earth would the "bold idea" be to run to the right of the Conservatives on the issue of deficits? Yes, voters worry about such things, mostly because they are pushed to think of state budgets in terms of their own budgets, and aren't told that the situation is completely different. But the ones who may theoretically vote on such things are conservatives. Progressives don't vote based on deficits, because they know there are better things to worry about most of the time.
So does Simpson honestly think that conservatives are going to vote for a tax hike? During a recession? Against all historical evidence and common sense? And he thinks that that is how the Liberals should distinguish themselves? Sure, it'd be different. It'd certainly differentiate the Liberals from the Tories or the NDP, since neither of them are blithering idiots.
It just shows how out-of-touch people like Simpson are. They spend their time in that circle of (useless) Canadian elites that actually thinks that people are going to care more about deficits than their taxes or the programs that help them and their families. Regular Canadians (and Americans, and Britons, and Indians, for that matter) are not going to lose their minds over deficits crowding out spending or minor inflationary pressures. They aren't corpulent bondholders and creditors, for whom the prospect of deflation is a glorious windfall—another round at the trough.
I suspect that Simpson's circle are. He has no idea what people think, no more than Iggy does. So he should probably stop trying to give advice. He's got neither the aptitude nor the insight.


This past Saturday night, Traci and I had dinner at Mildred's Big City Food near University and 34th St. to celebrate our one-year wedding anniversary (where does time go?). After mostly being budget conscious when it has come to eating-out since moving to Gainesville, it was nice to splurge a bit.
Mildred's describes its cuisine as "using only local, organic produce, fresh farm products and Florida seafood" with each dish prepared from scratch "honoring the integrity of classic cuisine." The restaurant itself is fairly nondescript from the outside, but nicely done inside. Again, we're big fans of small, affordable, hole-in-the-wall spots, but a nice meal in an upscale setting was a nice change of pace.
We started with an appetizer of crispy chicken livers in a blue cheese hot sauce. Think hot wings and blue cheese only chicken livers instead of wings - an interesting combo. I ordered a Maytag blue cheese salad (I can't pass up blue cheese) with pecans and Traci had an organic field greens salad with a vinaigrette dressing. Both salads were very good. For our main course, Traci had a New York strip on Yukon gold mashed potatoes and I went with veal and corn fritters (the exact name doesn't seem to be up on their site). The veal wasn't bad, but a little tough for my liking. The fritters were delicious. Traci loved her mashed potatoes. There wasn't anything wrong with the steak, but it wasn't outstanding either. For dessert, we couldn't pass up sharing a slice of cheese cake from the case in the front.
Our server was knowledgeable and did a nice job. Again, for the price, we expected a good meal and that's what we got. Mildred's sister restaurant next door, the New Deal Cafe, offers casual dining. We plan to check out New Deal one of these days and, while Mildred's wasn't perfect, we had a good time.
p.s. If you haven't already, check out my better-half's blog at: www.traciintheswamp.com. This past summer I gave her tips on how to start up her blog and now she's running circles around me!

Robert Futterman fired from RKF
Retail boss has reportedly been behaving erratically; firm is owned by Newmark Knight Frank
New York /
May.May 29, 2019 12:53 PM
By Hiten Samtani and Rich Bockmann
Robert Futterman (Credit: RKF)
Robert Futterman, the founder and chief executive of major retail brokerage RKF, was fired from his own firm, according to multiple reports.
"It's sad; it's a messy situation," a source at Newmark Knight Frank, which acquired RKF last year, told Commercial Observer. The New York Post reported that Futterman was showing signs of "erratic behavior" and cited police records showing that Futterman, 60, had been arrested in April in Texas for possession of marijuana and a controlled substance.
At a conference in Los Angeles after the incident, Futterman interrupted a presentation by Newmark chief executive Barry Gosin, the Post reported.
Futterman was prohibited by Newmark from going to the International Council of Shopping Centers' annual retail expo in Las Vegas earlier this month due to his behavior, a source at the brokerage told The Real Deal. Michael Flood, the chief financial officer of RKF, has been in charge of running Newmark's retail business since last month, according to a source. His profile is no longer on Newmark's corporate site.
The decision is a dramatic fall from grace for one of the country's most prominent and respected retail dealmakers, instrumental in finding space for international brands such as Apple, FedEx and Nordstrom. Prior to founding RKF in 1998, Futterman was the perennial top producer at retail brokerage Garrick-Aug Associates.
In The Real Deal's most recent ranking of top Manhattan retail brokerages, RKF took first place, with over 820,000 square feet leased across more than 200 deals. In that same ranking, Newmark came third, with just over 450,000 square feet over 119 deals.
Newmark, which went public in December 2017, officially closed on its acquisition of RKF in September 2018. At the time, about 20 of RKF's brokers left the firm, citing concerns such as a new corporate culture at a public company, lengthy employment contracts and a different commission structure, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that Futterman had represented Whole Foods.

Cinnamon Ferns grow with vigor across the High Knob Massif where wetness rules and they thrive in the cool, mesic basins and wetlands of its highcountry.
Ferns are vascular plants possessing roots, stems, and leaves but no flowers or seeds. They reproduce by spores, such as seen above on the fertile ( sporangia ripened ), brownish colored frond of this Cinnamon Fern.
Ferns are a very important part of the rich flora of the High Knob Landform, growing in great abundance across its diverse landscape of mixed acid-based and calcareous stratigraphy.

My second gig with extreme prog-metallers Carpathia was set within the extremely pleasant grounds of the University of Hertfordshire.
The night before the gig, we undertook a final rehearsal. Tom "we've got multiple poo-ers!" Sullivan had been writing lyrics and melodies for 'Solitary Red', which had up until recently been known simply as 'Fifth Song' and, at our last gig, had been entirely instrumental. During the rehearsal we fine-tuned vocals and solos, while adding final polishes to the other two tracks to be aired at the gig the following evening. The rehearsal itself went very well, with everything sounding suitably monstrous, so we downed tools and packed up the motor ready for the next day before heading back to Carp HQ.
Tom "toe, ball, down" Atherton, Sully and I settled down to watch some splendidly unsettling Asian cinema with a bottle of vino and a bar of Fruit 'n' Nut. It doesn't get more rock and roll than that, kids. I made myself a makeshift bed out of bits of sofa and kipped down at silly o'clock.
In case you were wondering, yes - the photo is the right way up.
After Sully left for work I must have nodded off again, because I was then woken up by Athers with a pain au chocolat. Second breakfast! Just like the hobbits! All I had to do in return was help him out with carrying his shopping back, which sounded like a bargain to me. The toilet in the boy's flat has not been working too well recently, which has had some deeply unpleasant results - in fact I'm fairly confident that new life forms will emerge from the murky depths any day now - so Athers and I took advantage of the comparatively pristine environment of Tesco's customer toilets to dispose of our solids and effluvia. Shopping was followed by lunch and the triumphant return of Sully from werk. The boys introduced me to Metalocalypse, an animated series sending up heavy metal, which after some initial puzzlement caused me quite a few lulz. Then it was time to hit the road.
It turned out the gig was even closer to the boy's flat than their own studio. En route, I had received a text message from Paul "I feel like a Disney princess!" Nazarkardeh who had plonked himself in a dressing room. By the time we arrived, he'd been kicked out of the dressing room which, apparently, we weren't allowed to use. After loading the gear in we were sent to the staff room to chum around with other bands and staff until it was time to soundcheck. Peter "a PhD...in boats" Mannion and I were delighted to find all sorts of coffee paraphernalia dotted around the room, although it took us until the kettle had boiled to realise that there was no coffee. Sigh.
Ziltoid wanted to pose with Black Polaris.
Soundcheck was going to be a bit late given that headliners Mordecai had been delayed in arriving, so we kicked around backstage. Venue staff and fellow bands were delighted that they had an opportunity to pose with Ziltoid, who is proving to be something of a hit on this gig circuit.
Eventually it was our turn to make some noise, so we went onstage and plugged everything in. One of the quickest soundchecks of my life followed (rather along the lines of "Give me some guitar"....*guitar noises*...."OK, thanks. Bass?"...etc.) which was especially welcome as we were now running dangerously close to the doors opening. A quick verse of old favourite 'Truth of the Moment' to ensure monitors were good, and we were off again. While piling our gear in the backstage area we were advised by the health & safety patrol to move all our gear into the dressing room. The dressing room we'd already been removed from that we weren't allowed to use. Splendid!
During soundcheck, we had the bright idea of getting the band logo displayed on the screens dotted around the stage and bar areas. The logo resided on Tom's phone and needed to find it's way to the sound man's computer via a USB stick. Thusly, while Sealed In Scarlet and Atopia were gracing the stage, an extremely silly chain of technology needed to be constructed in order to get the logo where it needed to be (Tom's bluetooth wasn't working, so he emailed it to Pete, who bluetooth-ed it to my laptop, where it was then loaded on the USB stick from within my keyboard and delivered to the sound man before being taken back to put back where it belonged...!).
Then it was time to hurriedly load everything onstage and get going. Predictably, from a student metal crowd, Ziltoid got huge cheers and cries of "I demand your finest coffee, humans!" when I brought him out and tied him to his microphone stand. The intro tape rolled and we were off.
I'd normally find a half-hour gig slightly unsatisfying, having been in Hi-On Maiden for so many years and played so many near-2-hour shows. However, this music sounded fawkin' HUGE, and the atmosphere onstage was infectious - I was a huge sweaty mess by the time I came off stage from the copious head-banging I'd been indulging in. The re-vamped and re-vitalised intro to 'Solitary Red', with Sully's best black metal screams really sounded like a mission statement, and from there the set just flowed superbly. My drum pads stayed firmly attached to their stand, the cowbell rang out, I could hear myself through the monitors, and each of us played our socks off. The slightly frustrating thing about playing keyboards is the inability to move around the stage. I'm used to being able to wander over to stage left and rock out with the other guitarist, or go and pull silly faces at the drummer. Instead I had to settle for people coming over to visit, and doing silly dances in the short bars where I have nothing to play in an attempt to get a chuckle out of Athers. I did get a visit from The Onion, which was very pleasant, but Paul fared less well trying to get over to my side of the stage for our harmony lines at the end of 'Finding It Hard...'. I think he tripped over Sully's cables!
Onion and Nazgul give it some.
Last train out of London Bridge - all aboard the Pisshead Express!
As ever, I'm looking forward to the next one! Unfortunately my Hi-On gig schedule has already scuppered a potential date in Brizzle, however I'm sure there'll be plenty more coming up. Any venues interested or any bands with tours booked looking for a support act, get in touch!

Tia Miller didn't know a lot about financial planning, budgeting, credit scores or saving money.
However, the 18-year-old wants to attend college, become a counselor and eventually purchase a "nice home." Thanks to two Pensacola State College professors, Tia along with five other PACE Center for Girls students understand the basics of financial literacy.
Pensacola State professors Susan C. Robbins and Lawrence D. Schuffman recently presented "Your Flight to Financial Literacy – Steps to Success" to the students during a workshop held on the Pensacola campus.
Tia, Brianna Martin, Kasie Pickering, Mia Higdon and Dana McKinney were allotted $2,000 and $5,000 in mock monthly incomes. The teens had to successfully create two household budgets.
Robbins added the workshop's overall goal was to ensure the students learned the basics of financial independence.
The lessons taught during the workshop stuck with Tia.
The importance of saving money was Brianna's main takeaway from the workshop.
Jessica Rose, a PACE Center for Girls counselor, said the workshop provided important life skills to the students.

Ray Thomas Birthday Tribute 2022
December 29, 2022 Moody Blues, Ray Thomas, Robert BrowningMoody Blues, Ray Thomas, Robert Browninghealy24yang
This may sound like a non sequitur at first, but there really is a connection between Ray Thomas and Robert Browning. One semester, I was teaching the Victorians, and when we got to my favorite, Robert Browning, I once again reflected on how his poetry and Ray's lyrics remind me of each other. So, think about it. Where Ray lyrically faces off against uncertainty and adversity with integrity in "Our Guessing Game," "Hey, Mamma Life," and "Celtic Sonant," Robert gives us "Andrea del Sarto," "Rabbi Ben Ezra," "Prospice," and "Love Among the Ruins." Where Browning has the passionate romanticism of "Meeting at Night," "Natural Magic/Magical Nature," and "Love among the Ruins," Ray gave us "For My Lady," "You Make Me Feel Alright," and "Within Your Eyes." Then there's the playful wit of "Nice to Be Here" and "Floating" matched with similar qualities in "Memorabilia" and "Youth and Art." Both men can also sharpen that wit to prick at pretentiousness, hypocrisy, and complacency. Ray in "Lazy Day" and "Dear Diary" and Robert in "House," "Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister," and "Youth and Art." And, they both can go much darker. Ray with "Sorry," "Painted Smile," and "Veteran Cosmic Rocker," much like Browning in "Caliban upon Setebos," "Porphyria's Lover," and "My Last Duchess," amongst others. Unlike Browning, Ray probably hasn't written anything about doing in folks – even as an unreliable narrator! Ramblings like these are the reason why my friend Kathy Healey threatens to get me a T-shirt with a picture of Browning over the title "Veteran Cosmic Poet." But take a look at the pictures; they even have the same hair!

Make sure to cable from the new Horizontal Fader's output to one of the channel strips.
If I use a Button Fader instead of Horizontal 4, the volume goes immediately from 0 to 100% so it's like muting channel 1 and unmuting channel 2 really quickly. This is expected, of course, but is there a way to use a Button Fader so that it causes a smooth crossfade transition upon clicking it? In other words, I'd like to have a pre-set crossfade with a fixed duration so I won't have to manually fade with a Horizontal 4.
Great work! Also, I liked your randomizer TNT that you did. I've heard you say before that you would like to see some development in the environment in Logic in the future. I was curious as to what you would like to see? Thanks to the MPV tutorials I understand the environment but I still don't find myself going in there too frequently. I would love to see a blog post about the most effective way to create and manage controller assignments with zone groupings etc! I get how to do it but I haven't figured out a solid workflow method for storing and recalling my controller assignments. I think it would help a lot of people out... especially since I haven't ever seen the controller assignment window addressed in any tutorials thus far. Thanks, you guys rock!
Hi Eric Thanks! I really enjoyed doing that TNT Randomizer. In fact I made a souped up version which can be downloaded here: http://www.macprovideo.com/forum/logic/logic-pro-express&id=22544 There are loads of features I'd love to see in the Environment. Here are two which spring to mind in my early morning state: - GUI of objects to be more like that in Mainstage2. - Objects that can process Audio data... this would be amazing... and Huge! I like the idea of a Controller Assignments blog tip... I'll have a think about that because it is potentially a huge topic. Thanks Eric!

Q: SFSF OData call: Failed to convert response into ODataFeed: An 'EdmSimpleTypeException' occurred Following the problem from question:
Generate VDM for SFSF using Java in SAP Cloud SDK: Generated URI is wrong
I generated a Virtual Data Model from a metadata file from SFSF using the Maven plugin and SAP Cloud SDK for Java.
The generator works correctly, however the URI generated is not what SFSF is expecting:

*

*Generated URI: /odata/v2/SFODataSet

*Expected URI: /odata/v2 or /odata/v2/JobRequisition
(SFODataSet entity does not exist, and SFSF gives an error when trying to access it).
Anyway, I proceed and change the DEFAULT_SERVICE_PATH in the generated files to /odata/v2 and create the following servlet that includes the query:
@WebServlet("/req")
public class JobReqServlet extends HttpServlet {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(JobReqServlet.class);

    private final ErpHttpDestination destination = DestinationAccessor.getDestination("sfsf-sdk-dest").asHttp()
            .decorate(DefaultErpHttpDestination::new);

    @Override
    protected void doGet(final HttpServletRequest request, final HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        try {
            long id = 2126;
            final JobRequisition jobReqs = new DefaultRCMJobRequisitionService()
                .getJobRequisitionByKey(id)
                .execute(destination);
            response.getWriter().write("Done!");
        } catch (final ODataException e) {
            logger.error(e.getMessage(), e);
            response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
            response.getWriter().write(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

This queries a single job requisition (with the id 2126). There's no need to add the option .withServicePath() because it's already changed.
However, when running the app, I get an Internal Server Error after 10-20 second of waiting.
In the logs I can see the following:

*

*The destination is fetched correctly

*The HTTP request is correct

*SFSF responds with the correct data

But just after the data is received there's an error:
"com.sap.cloud.sdk.odatav2.connectivity.ODataQuery","thread":"http-nio-0.0.0.0-8080-exec-3","level":"ERROR","categories":[],"msg":"Failed to convert response into ODataFeed: An exception of type 'EdmSimpleTypeException' occurred." }

Find in Drive here:

*

*Debug logs (SDKapplogs.txt)

*JSON response from SFSF (response.json)

Any help would be appreciated.

A: The EDMX file that you've used to generate the VDM from is not compatible with the remote OData service responses. Please ask the maintainer of the OData service to provide an up-to-date metadata file. You can also try and download it directly from http://[URL]/odata/v2/$metadata.
I found about half of the JSON sample payload that you attached was not compatible with the EDMX file published on API Business Hub.

Family Is Feuding Like Cats and Dogs Dear Amy: My son and his family newly took a two-week trip. I offered to look at their 3 gigantic dogs in my tiny, 900-square-foot home whereas they were away.
One week once their come, I then asked them to look at my (one) dog for 3 days.
Amy, they continue to exist a one-acre property with variant area for kitty to escape!
My in-law aforementioned she was willing to remain at my house once work to worry for my dog. However which means my dog would be alone all day. My son may be a stay-at-home male parent, therefore somebody is often home there.
Family Is Feuding Like Cats and Dogs. I'm therefore hurt . My son says my thinking is inclined, which his spouse was making an attempt to form everybody happy. it's her cat. i'm not happy, as a result of it sounds like my daughter-in-law's cat is a lot of necessary than my dog and ME.
I gave them a $200,000 break on the house they bought from ME. I bought a brand new roof and $13,000 value of windows.
Family Is Feuding Like Cats and Dogs I have been terribly useful to them, and nevertheless they can't do that one issue I raise of them?! Is my thinking skewed?
Dear Upset: affirmative, your daughter-in-law's cat is perhaps a lot of necessary than your dog — to her — even as your dog is clearly a lot of necessary than her cat — to you.

The Steps of a Divorce in Florida
Divorce, the dissolution of a marriage, is a complicated process. What makes it incredibly complicated is that the laws governing the process of getting a divorce vary from state to state. If you're seeking a divorce in Florida, we can explain the steps involved. If there are no minor children, the couple is not pregnant, and they agree on the property division, they may qualify for a "Simplified Dissolution of Marriage." Couples who don't meet those qualifications must follow these steps to file a "Regular Dissolution of Marriage":
Step One: One spouse files a petition. This petition must state that the marriage is "irretrievably broken" and is filed in the circuit court where one or both spouses live. Throughout the case, the person who files this petition will be known as "the petitioner."
Step Two: The other spouse much file an answer. Within 20 days, the other spouse, known as "the respondent," must file an answer telling the court which parts of the petition he or she agrees with, disagrees with, or does not have knowledge of. The respondent can also counter-petition to raise additional issues, for which the petitioner has to then file an answer.
Step Three: Additional Paperwork is Required. The paperwork includes a financial affidavit that must be filed within 45 days of the petition, a child support guidelines worksheet, and a Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) Affidavit must be filed if the case involves minor children.
Step Four: Discovery reveals financial details. Aside from the financial affidavit filed with the court, financial information must be given to the other party. These mandatory disclosures include proof of income, bank accounts, retirement accounts, statements about your debt, credit cards, and tax returns. Both sides have to reveal financial details so that each spouse knows all the pertinent information.
Step Five: Mediation helps work out the details. Typically, mediation is required to help spouses reach an agreement on anything undecided.
Step Six: A parenting plan is created. When minor children are involved, the court must approve a parenting plan. This plan has to include how the parties plan to share tasks, time, and responsibilities regarding raising the children and how the parents will communicate. A parenting class is also required.
Step Seven: A judge finalizes the divorce. In a final hearing, or trial, a judge will hear from both sides, and each side will be allowed to present evidence, including testimony. Once the hearing is complete, the judge will enter a final judgment of dissolution of marriage.
At the Law Offices of Travis R. Walker, P.A., we understand that divorce involves many challenges. We're experienced in divorce law, and we'll provide you with the representation you need to help you navigate this difficult time. We'll work for the best solution for you to help you close this chapter as quickly as possible. Contact us through our website or call 772-708-0952.

Candlewick Press Announces Second Book in the Bestselling Timmy Failure Series, 'Timmy Failure: Now Look What You've Done'
* FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE *
Candlewick Press Announces Second Book
in the Bestselling Timmy Failure series,
TIMMY FAILURE: NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE
SOMERVILLE, MA – June 3rd, 2013– Total Failure Inc. is back in business. Candlewick Press is announcing the publication of a follow up book to Stephan Pastis' Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made, which was published in February 2013 and became an instant bestseller. Timmy Failure: Now Look What You've Done is releasing globally on Feb 25th, 2014 in a deal brokered by Dan Lazar of Writer's House.
In this second adventure, the over-confident Timmy is certain that he alone can solve a school-wide competition to find a stolen globe. Is the competition in fact rigged, as Timmy suspects? And will the combined skills of Timmy, his business partner polar bear Total, and a new character on the scene—his eccentric Great-Aunt Colander—suffice to win Timmy the much-needed prize money?
The first book has spent 12 consecutive weeks on the New York Times and National Indie Bestseller lists in the U.S. and rights have been sold in 28 countries to date. Widely praised by media and reviewers for its "step above the rest" approach to the illustrated middle grade genre, one Austin, Texas newspaper writer aptly declared, "With its high-low mix of humor and surprisingly sophisticated storytelling…"Failure" is anything but."
Candlewick Press' announced first print for the publication of Now Look What You've Done in February 2014 will be a minimum of 350,000 copies, and will be supported by an extensive consumer marketing campaign and national author tour.
Stephan Pastis is the creator of Pearls Before Swine, an acclaimed comic strip that appears in more than six hundred and fifty newspapers and boasts a devoted following in print, online, and in a number of bestselling books. Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made was his first book for young readers. He lives in Northern California.

Q: SSH daemon fails to run On my Linux machine, I have services enabled for SSH. However, whenever /usr/sbin/sshd is init, it fails to daemonize. No sshd.pid file is generated under /var/run and sshd is not running when I do a 'ps'.
The strange thing is that when I run sshd in non-daemon mode (ie. '/usr/sbin/sshd -D') or if I run it in debug mode (ie. 'usr/sbin/sshd -d'), sshd is able to run and sshd.pid file is generated under /var/run.
I've also verified that default port 22 is available and not being used by another process. Also, when I try different ports, I observe the same behavior detailed above.
Any idea why this might be happening?
Thanks

A: Can I ask what you see if you do:
 /usr/sbin/sshd -p 10022 -d

What that will do is start a brand new sshd on port 100222 in debug mode (remaining in the foreground). This is one from my system where it has started ok:
This is the output I see from a working one:
debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_7.4, OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips  26 Jan 2017
debug1: private host key #0: ssh-rsa SHA256:MSjzB8S5CxN8QBBis8FWehZT66qV0IgUT1ayBjUxRJc

debug1: rexec_argv[0]='/usr/sbin/sshd'
debug1: rexec_argv[1]='-p'
debug1: rexec_argv[2]='10022'
debug1: rexec_argv[3]='-d'
debug1: Set /proc/self/oom_score_adj from 0 to -1000
debug1: Bind to port 10022 on 0.0.0.0.
Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 10022.
debug1: Bind to port 10022 on ::.
Server listening on :: port 10022.

If you could run the above and post the output it might reveal more about what is not working.

Sermon Text:1 Corinthians 9:24-27
We know him best as the "Apostle" Paul, but we could certainly call him "Coach," as well. In 1 Corinthians 9 he says: "Run in such a way as to get the prize." He's coaching us, as Christians, to train, like an Olympic athlete going after the prize. (During Paul's time, the winner's "prize" would have been a laurel wreath. Today, it is a gold medal.)
As the Olympic Games wind down in Tokyo, Japan, join us as "Coach" Paul makes even more comparisons between an Olympic athlete in training and the Christian's spiritual training in this life.
