Transcript: Hear Harvey Milk's The Hope Speech
Programs Menu
The following is a transcript of Elizabeth George's January 20, 2014 reading of Harvey Milk's The Hope Speech, as part of Amalia Pica's Now, Speak! installation. Elizabeth George is a member of the Museum's Teen Arts Council.
ELIZABETH GEORGE: My name is Harvey Milk, and I'm here to recruit you. I've been saying this one for years. It's a political joke. I can't help it. I've got to tell it. I've never been able to talk to this many political people before, so if I tell you nothing else, you may be able to go home laughing a bit.
This ocean liner was going across the ocean, and it sank. And there was one little piece of wood floating. And three people swam to it. And they realized only one person could hold onto it. So they had a little debate about which was the person.
It so happened that the three people were the Pope, the President and Mayor Daley. The Pope said he was the titular head of one of the greatest religions of the world, and he was spiritual adviser to many, many millions. And he went on and pontificated. And they thought it was a good argument.
Then the President said he was the leader of the largest and most powerful nation of the world. What takes place in this country affects the whole world. And they thought that was a good argument.
And Mayor Daley said he was the mayor of the backbone of the United States. And what took place in Chicago affected the world. And what took place in the Archdiocese of Chicago affected Catholicism. And they thought that was a good argument. So they did it the democratic way and voted. And Daley won seven to two.
About six months ago, Anita Bryant, in her speaking to God, said that the drought in California was because of the gay people. On November 9, the day after I got elected, it started to rain. On the day I got sworn in, we walked to City Hall. And it was kind of nice. And as soon as I said the word "I do," it started to rain again. It's been raining since then. And the people of San Francisco figure the only way to stop it is to do a recall petition. That's the local joke.
So much for that. Why are we here? Why are gay people here? And what's happening? What's happening to me is the antithesis of what you read about in the papers and what you hear about on the radio. You hear about and read about this movement to the right, that we must band together and fight back this movement to the right. And I'm here to go ahead and say that what you hear and read is what they want you to think.
Because it's not happening. The major media in this country has talked about the movement to the right, so the legislators think that there is indeed a movement to the right and that the Congress and the legislators and the City Council will start to move to the right and the way the major media want them. So they keep on talking about this move to the right.
So let's look at 1977, and see if there was indeed a movement to the right. In 1977, gay people had their rights taken away from them in Miami. But you must remember, that in the week before Miami and the week after that, the word "homosexual" or "gay" appeared in every single newspaper in this nation in articles both pro and con. And every radio station and every TV station and every household, for the first time in the history of the world, everybody was talking about it, good or bad.
Unless you have dialogue, unless you open the walls of dialogue, you can never reach to change people's opinion. In those two weeks, more good and bad, but more about the word homosexual and gay was written than probably in the history of mankind. Once you have dialogue starting, you know you can break down prejudice.
In 1977, we saw a dialogue start. In 1977, we saw a gay person elected in San Francisco. In 1977, we saw the state of Mississippi decriminalize marijuana. In 1977, we saw the convention of conventions in Houston. And I want to know where the movement to the right was happening.
What that is is a record of what happened last year. What we must do is make sure that 1978 continues the movement that is really happening and that the media don't want you to know about. That is the movement to the left. It is up to CDC to put the pressures on Sacramento, but to break down the walls and the barriers so the movement to the left continues and progress continues in the nation.
We have before us coming up several issues we must speak out on. Probably the most important issue outside the Briggs which we will come to, but we do know what will take place this June. We know that there's an issue on the ballot called Jarvis-Gann. We hear the taxpayers talk about it on both sides. But what you don't hear is that it's probably the most racist issue on the ballot in a long time.
In the city and the county of San Francisco, if it passes and we indeed have to lay off people, who will they be? The last in and the first in and who are the last in but the minorities. Jarvis-Gann is a racist issue. We must address that issue. We must not talk away from it. We must not allow them to talk about the money it's going to save, because look at who's going to save the money and look at who's going to get hurt.
We also have another issue that we have started in some of the north counties. And I hope in some of the south counties, it continues. In San Francisco, elections were asking-- at least we hope to ask-- that the US government put pressure on the closing of the South African consulate. That must happen.
There is a major difference between an embassy in Washington, which is a diplomatic borough and a consulate in major cities. A consulate is there for one reason only, to promote business, economic gains, tourism, investment. And every time you have a business going to South Africa, you're promoting a regime that's offensive.
In the city of San Francisco, if every one of 51% of that city were to go to South Africa, they would be treated as second class citizens. That is an offense to the people of San Francisco. And I hope all my colleagues up there will take every step we can to close down that consulate and hope that people in other parts of the state follow us in that lead.
The battles must be started someplace. And CDC is a great place to start the battles. I know we are pressed for time, so I'm going to cover just one more little point. That is, to understand why it's important that gay people run for office, and that gay people get elected. I know there are many people in this room who are gay who are running for a central committee. And I encourage you.
There's a major reason why. If my nongay friends and supporters in this room understand it, they'll probably understand why I've run so often before I finally made it. You see right now, there's a controversy going on in this convention about the gay governor. Is he speaking out enough? Is her strong enough for gay rights? And there is controversy. And for us to say that there is not would be foolish. Some people are satisfied. And some people are not.
You see there is a major difference-- and it remains a vital difference-- between a friend and a gay person, a friend in office and a gay person in office. Gay people have been slandered nationwide. We've been tarred and we've been brushed with the picture of pornography. In Dade County, we were accused of child molestation. It is not enough anymore just to have friends represent us, no matter how good that friend may be.
The black community made up its mind to that a long time ago. The myths against blacks can only be dispelled by electing black leaders so the black community could be judged by its leaders and not by the myths or the black criminals. The Spanish community must not be judged by Latin criminals or myths. The Asian community must not be judged by Asian criminals or myths. The Italian community must not be judged by the mafia--myths.
And the time has come when the gay community must not be judged for our criminals and our myths. Like every other group, we must be judged by our leaders and by those who are themselves gay, those who are visible. For invisible, we remain in limbo. A myth. A person with no parents, no brothers, no sisters, no friends who are straight, no important positions in employment.
A tenth of the nation's supposedly composed of stereotypes and would-be seducers of children. And no offense meant to those stereotypes but today, the black community is not judged by its friends but by its black legislators and leaders. And we must give people the chance to judge us by our leaders and legislators.
A gay person in office can set a tone, can command respect, not only from the larger community, but from the young people in our own community who need both examples and hope. The first gay people we elect must be strong. They must not be content to sit in the back of the bus. They must not be content to accept pabulum. They must be above wheeling and dealing. They must be, for the good of all of us, independent, unbought.
The anger and the frustrations that some of us feel is because we are misunderstood. And friends can't feel that anger and frustration. They can sense it in us, but they can't feel it. Because a friend has never gone through what is known as "coming out." I will never forget what it was like coming out and having nobody to look up toward.
I remember the lack of hope, and our friends can't fulfill it. I can't forget the looks on faces of people who have lost hope, be they gay, be they seniors, be they blacks looking for an almost impossible job, be they Latins trying to explain their problems and aspirations in a tongue that's foreign to them. I Personally will never forget that people are more important than buildings.
I use the word "I" because I am proud. I stand here tonight in front of my gay sisters, brothers and friends, because I'm proud of you. I think it's time that we have many legislators who are gay and proud of that fact and do not have to remain in the closet. I think a gay person upfront will not walk away a responsibility and be afraid of being tossed out of office.
After Dade County, I walked among the angry and frustrated night after night. And I looked at their faces. And in San Francisco, three days before Gay Pride Day, a person was killed just because he was gay. And that night I walked among the sad and the frustrated at City Hall in San Francisco, and later that night, as they lit candles on Castro Street and stood in silence, reaching out for some symbolic thing that would give them hope. These were strong people whose faces I knew from the shop, the streets, meetings, and people who I never saw before but I knew. They were strong, but even they needed hope.
And the young gay people in Altoona, Pennsylvanias, and the Richmond, Minnesotas, who are coming out and hear Anita Bryant on television and her story. The only thing they have to look forward to is hope. And you have to give them hope. Hope for a better world, hope for a better tomorrow, hope for a better place to come to if the pressures at home are too great. Hope that all will be all right. Without hope, not only are the gays, but the blacks, the seniors, the handicapped, the "us-es." The "us-es" will give up.
And if you help elect the Central Committee and other offices, more gay people-- that gives a green light to all who feel disenfranchised, a green light to move forward. It means hope to a nation that has given up, because if a gay person makes it, the doors are open to everyone. So if there's a message I have to give, it is that I found one overriding thing about my personal election. It's the fact that if a gay person can be elected, it's a green light. And you and you and you-- you have to give people hope. Thank you very much.

Interview: The Radio Dept.
How has the group's sound evolved over the years?
We've moved from noisy to less noisy to clean and back.
Who are your biggest influences?
Our influences change over time so it's hard to say. Right now it's early Soft Machine.
Which collaborations have been the most exciting?
It was very interesting and exciting to write music for Marie Antoinette. In the end Sofia Coppola used songs that we had already released but first we made a couple exclusively for the film. Even though they weren't used, which I don't mind at all, the process of writing those songs with a film in mind was fantastic.
What's the biggest paycheck you've ever received?
It must have been Marie Antoinette. I don't remember exactly how much it was but I think we got 7,000 euros or something like that. But I didn't spend it all in one go. Even though Sweden is expensive I could quit my job and live off that money for about seven to eight months.
What projects would you guys like to work on that you haven't had the chance to yet?
Tons of things from writing soundtracks to making films of our own. I'd also like to put out fanzines and photo books, and to release records more frequently.
What do you have to say to your imitators?
We'd say keep it up. We all began as imitators. After a while you find a voice that is your own.
For fame or money?
For real.

Pandemic in Potosí
Fear, Loathing, and Public Piety in a Colonial Mining Metropolis

Latin American Originals
"In making available documents, perspectives, and voices from the past, Pandemic in Potosí joins a growing but regrettably short list of thematic sourcebooks aimed at students, teachers, and researchers [alike]. In focusing on one particular crisis, it demonstrates the value of episodic study for deep historical understanding. There are lessons here for all of us."—Paul Ramírez, author of Enlightened Immunity: Mexico's Experiments with Disease Prevention in the Age of Reason
In 1719, a deadly and highly contagious disease took hold of the Imperial Villa of Potosí, a silver mining metropolis in what is now Bolivia. Within a year, the pathogen had killed some 22,000 people, just over a third of the city's residents. Victims collapsed with fever, body aches, and effusions of blood from the nose and mouth. Most died within days. The great Andean pandemic of 1717–22 was likely the most destructive disease to strike South America since the days of the Spanish conquest.
Pandemic in Potosí features the single longest narrative of this nearly forgotten period, penned by local historian Bartolomé Arzáns de Orsúa y Vela, along with shorter treatments of the disease's ravages in Cuzco, Arequipa, and the outskirts of Lima. The "Gran Peste," as it was called, was a pivotal event about which Arzáns wrote at length because he lived through it, but also because it was believed to have cosmic significance. Kris Lane translates and contextualizes Arzáns's account, which is rich in local detail that sheds light on a range of topics—from therapeutics, devotional life, class relations, gender, and race to conceptions of illness, sin, and human will and responsibility during a major public health crisis.
Original narratives of the pandemic, translated here for the first time, help readers see commonalities and differences between past and present disease encounters. Designed for use in courses on Latin American history, this concise work will also interest scholars and students of the history of religion, history of medicine, urban studies, and epidemiology.
Kris Lane is France V. Scholes Professor of History at Tulane University. He is the author of several books, including Potosí: The Silver City that Changed the World; Pillaging the Empire: Global Piracy on the High Seas, 1500–1750; Colour of Paradise: The Emerald in the Age of Gunpowder Empires; and Quito 1599: City and Colony in Transition.

The most difficult enemy to fight is the one who's in your midst. In the film Stalag 17, a group of American airmen held in a German World War II prisoner of war camp begin to suspect that one in their group is a traitor. The Germans are being fed information that gets two escaped prisoners killed. The suspicion falls on Sgt. J.J. Sefton (William Holden), a cynical and somewhat antisocial prisoner who barters openly with the German guards for eggs, silk stockings, blankets and other luxuries.
What the prisoners don't realize is that the traitor is much less obvious. He was born and bred in the USA — a blue-eyed All-American boy — who went home to the Mother Land when the war broke out.
The second story, related to the first one, is the content of an article written by former Clinton Secretary of Labor Robert Reich to 2012 college graduates. He told them, "You're screwed." And who screwed them? Robert Reich's own policies that are being continued by the Obama administration and voted on approvingly by nearly 50 percent of the American people are screwing us.
Who is really to blame for our nation's decline? Too many of us have capitulated. Too many Americans have adopted the cop-out, "While I'm personally opposed, I don't want to impose my morality on other people." So while more and more generally conservative people are taking this position, the immoral minority has imposed its conception of morality on us. It's time that we do something about it before we are really screwed.

ColChambers: Exploring human performance: What are TSOHost like to buy from?
Following on from my Search for wordpress hosting I will now share the experience of signing up with them and moving my blogs over.
I'm planning a slow migration while I learn Wordpress in more depth, figure out the plugins I want and deal with migration issues. I'll move my smaller blogs first and learn the process before attempting Colchambers because with over 500 posts I need practice beforehand.
I went for wordpress hosting on the professional grade. The free domain name I bought was fit2thrive.co.uk.
mails of invoice and receipt came through instantly along with the new account details.
Advanced Users: If you have hosting elsewhere, you can point this domain elsewhere by logging into My.Tsohost.co.uk and changing the nameservers or DNS settings.
I like companies that believe in their ability to keep your loyalty without locking you in. It's good business in my eyes.
I did get a strange mail during the regeistration process.
Thank you for registering the domain name fit2thrive.co.uk with Tsohost. In order to complete the registration, the co.uk registry require additional information to be provided.
Please visit my.Tsohost to supply these details. We will then re-attempt your domain registration.
Should you have any problems or queries, please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance.
I've never had this type of email before when registering domains and there was no detail about the problem. I logged into my account and checked and found no more information. Not a good start!!!
I quickly emailed TSOHost and got a courteous and clear reply about 5 minutes later. The bad formatting of this response is down to blogger. It's part of the reason I'm leaving.
It looks like that e-mail is in error.
I suspect there may have been a momentary delay in the registration process which caused our accounting system to log it as a failure.
The domain is registered, so that should function perfectly well once you've added that to the Hosting Account as a new site.
Please feel free to let me know if you require any further assistance.
I can live with mistakes when I'm supported like this. So my confidence is restored.

EDDIE BAQUET SR.	ryan	2018-07-02T09:24:39-05:00
THE ICON: Eddie Baquet Sr.
THE LEGACY: As a 16-year employee of the U.S. Postal Service, Eddie Baquet Sr. already had a good, steady job. But he had an itch for a different kind of service. So, in 1966, he withdrew $5,000 from his postal pension and sold the family home to buy a bar and restaurant at 2119 Law St. in the 7th Ward. He would rename it Eddie's, and if it felt like home it was for good reason: He, wife Myrtle and their five sons lived in the rear of the restaurant. They all worked there, too, with Myrtle and her mother supplying recipes for the Creole-flavored menu. It quickly gained a national reputation, not just as a place to get an authentic New Orleans meal at a reasonable price, but — along with Chez Helene, Dooky Chase and Buster Holmes — as a reminder of the vital role of African-American traditions in New Orleans' culinary landscape.
THE ARTIST: Jeremy Paten
THE INSPIRATION: "It was definitely not a popular restaurant when we first opened in 1966. But we set out to emphasize the food, to make it a place where you could get practically anything you wanted at a reasonable price, and after a while it just took off." — Eddie Baquet Sr., in a 1991 interview with The Times-Picayune

We need your help to carry on this tradition! Although the performance is free and the opportunity to experience this world class performance priceless, costs continue to rise.
Our Soloists and Orchestra are all accomplished professional musicians who are instrumental in providing a performance of the highest quality. In particular, our four soloists lift up our hearts with their lyrical interpretations of Handel's soaring music. They are highly regarded professionals, many of whom are on the faculty at local colleges and universities, teaching music and voice.
The Society's members are all volunteers. There are no paid positions in the MCS. The entire budget needed to perform this major classical work for any and all who want to attend is raised by MCS members. The amount we have requested here will lift up the funding necessary to pay for our soloists and will help sustain the tradition of this remarkable concert!
Any donation is welcome, but for a gift of $1,000, you can place a soloist on the stage of the Bob Carr Theater on Sunday, November 29th, and be part of this thrilling explosion of joy!

Parks in the U.S. are typically non-inclusive, meaning children with disabilities don't have all of the special accommodations needed in order to be as safe as possible. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) made play areas and parks accessible to all children, but this doesn't necessarily mean they're built so that kids with different types of disabilities can play equally.
Children playing may seem like fun and games, but it's an important part of growing up that helps develop intellectual, emotional, sensory, social and physical skills. Children need a safe play to nurture these areas of growth, and playgrounds should certainly be the one place they can go since it affords kids open air, space, and play equipment.
What about children with physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy, which hampers physical ability? How many swings are made to accommodate children in wheelchairs? Some may argue that it's simply too expensive to create areas within playgrounds for every type of disability, but others argue there's no cost to protecting the development of our future generation of kids.
Universally-designed playgrounds seem to be the answer to the issue, which creates a small world for children to simply play in without anyone, regardless of disability, being forced to sit on the side while other kids get to play freely.
Universally-designed playgrounds, also called inclusive playgrounds or universally accessible play environments, are created so that every child has a way to challenge all five areas of developmental skills during play. Kids with cerebral palsy and other disabilities often need to break up developing their skills in different ways. For instance, some children do better with less sensory stimulation, while others need a lot more. Inclusive playgrounds allow several different options for children to choose from, typically divided into several different areas within the play area.
Common play areas that you tend to see in the majority of parks get a makeover of sorts when they become inclusive. For example, slide stairs are changed to supports and transfer steps, spacious walker and wheelchair access are added to play bridges, swings have seat belts and safer seats, steps are replaced with ramps and more. Inclusive play areas also have a rich selection of sensory tools, such as sand, child-friendly water sprinklers/fountains, tactile objects, noisemakers, bright-colored themes, and more.
If you don't have a universally-designed playground in your community, there are a number of steps you can take to get the plan in action.

aka not all rope bottoms are 45kg Japanese girls!
With the Winter coming to an end and spring around the corner STORE returns to Luke & Jack with the Tying the Male Physique workshop. It's well known that the majority of resources out there presume that a female body is being tied. It's also no surprise that ties that look fantastic on the female body are a tad unflattering on a male. Chest ties particularly.
That's why STORE will be running a class dedicated to the art of making our boy bottoms look and feel their best in rope.
We make no presumptions about gender and are simply talking about body shape.
AijinNawa– has been tying up boys of all genders for a few years now and has spent significant time in the last 2 years thinking about the differences between rope that works for male and female bodies. She is keen to promote the tying of men and encourage them to explore the ropes on both sides. Men come in all shapes and sizes and all of them can be beautiful!

Is that why church growth is always the go-to answer for every challenge? Because we can't afford it not to be?
Has church growth become a solution looking for a problem?
To address this question, let's look back to the early church.
Everyone wants to be like the first century church, but from what I can tell, it wasn't much different from today's church.
They had large and small churches. Healthy, sick and dead churches. Churches with strong leaders, weak leaders and sinful leaders. They worshiped God imperfectly and fought over theology.
They also had a great deal of variety. The congregations in Jerusalem, Corinth, Laodicea and Ephesus had little in common outside of following scripture and practicing communion and water baptism.
In short, the first century church was not the ideal template for Christian life, theology and worship that many people think it was.
It must have been because of their strong teaching on church growth, right?
The New Testament writers told argumentative churches to get along. They chided immoral churches to repent. They warned sinful churches of God's impending punishment if they didn't stop sinning.
The apostles addressed an extraordinarily broad range of church issues. But there's one thing they never did.
No New Testament writer ever told a sick, dying, sinful or hurting church to get bigger.
This is either a glaring oversight on their part, or they didn't consider numerical congregational growth to be as important as we do.
No early church leader ever told any church – sick or healthy – to structure for growth.
Yes, Jesus told us to go and make disciples. And yes, that would mean church growth. But no apostle ever named growth as a strategy for fixing a broken church. And John, when he addressed the challenges, sins and blessings of the seven churches in Revelation, never told any of them to grow, either.
How have we missed this gaping hole in the apostles' teaching? And why do we spend so much time, money and energy on something the apostles could have addressed, but didn't?
Of course, the New Testament church was growing exponentially. Could that be why church growth teaching was absent? Because it was unnecessary?
No. Not every church was growing. Many were barely hanging on, while staying faithful. But there's not even a hint that the apostles saw their lack of numerical growth as evidence of a problem.
Meanwhile, the churches in Corinth and Laodicea were famous for their complacency, sinfulness and lack of evangelical fervor. Yet they were experiencing enough growth to keep their offering plates full, at least.
The apostles weren't shy about confronting a church's problems. If they never addressed lack of congregational growth, maybe it's because they never considered it to be a valid measure of a local church's health – or lack of health.
Small, suffering churches were given far more praise for their faithfulness than large, growing churches were given for the numerical increase.
In fact, unless you're looking at the New Testament through a modern, western church growth lens, it's impossible to miss the fact that small, suffering churches were given far more praise for their faithfulness than large, growing churches were given for the numerical increase.
I am not saying that churches shouldn't grow, that church growth is bad, that we shouldn't structure for growth, or that church health doesn't produce growth.
I'm merely raising a much-overlooked point about where we place our priorities.
Today's western evangelical church likes to talk about individual congregational numerical growth as evidence (usually the evidence) of church health. But there's no indication that the New Testament writers ever thought that way.
We need to do what the New Testament writers did. Stop insisting on numerical growth as the best evidence of a church's health and start looking at faithfulness.
If we did that, maybe the Lord would do through us what he did through the New Testament church - despite their faults, and ours.
Use us to start turning the world upside-down again.

"NAEP Scores Drop Drastically in U.S." Sr. Fellow Williamson Evers interviewed on the Gary Nolan radio show
Posted: Wed. October 26, 2022, 2:10pm PT
With the recent release of the NAEP test scores, also known as "The Nation's Report Card," Sr. Fellow Williamson Evers talks about the reasons that American public schools are failing students. Evers says more competition is needed from private schools and home schools, to give parents a choice in their children's schools. Proven teaching methods and solid curriculum are also needed. The learning loss reflected in the record drop in NAEP scores will take years to make up, says Evers.

Q: Python Scrapy not always downloading data from website Scrapy is used to parse an html page. My question is why sometimes scrapy returns the response I want, but sometimes does not return a response. Is it my fault? Here's my parsing function:
class AmazonSpider(BaseSpider):
    name = "amazon"
    allowed_domains = ["amazon.org"]
    start_urls = [
       "http://www.amazon.com/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_n_feature_browse-bin%3A2656020011"
   ]

def parse(self, response):
            sel = Selector(response)
            sites = sel.xpath('//div[contains(@class, "result")]')
            items = []
            titles = {'titles': sites[0].xpath('//a[@class="title"]/text()').extract()}
            for title in titles['titles']:
                item = AmazonScrapyItem()
                item['title'] = title
                items.append(item)
            return items

A: I believe you are just not using the most adequate XPath expression.
Amazon's HTML is kinda messy, not very uniform and therefore not very easy to parse. But after some experimenting I could extract all the 12 titles of a couple of search results with the following parse function:
def parse(self, response):
    sel = Selector(response)
    p = sel.xpath('//div[@class="data"]/h3/a')
    titles = p.xpath('span/text()').extract() + p.xpath('text()').extract()
    items = []
    for title in titles:
        item = AmazonScrapyItem()
        item['title'] = title
        items.append(item)
    return items

If you care about the actual order of the results the above code might not be appropriate but I believe that is not the case.

Carol: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the 2015 film of the same name. The soundtrack compact disc includes the original score, composed, produced, orchestrated and conducted by Carter Burwell, and additional music performed by The Clovers, Billie Holiday, Georgia Gibbs, Les Paul and Mary Ford, and Jo Stafford. It was released in both digital download and compact disc formats by Varèse Sarabande on November 20, 2015. A double album vinyl of the soundtrack was released on June 24, 2016.

Development
Burwell had received the script of Carol before the film began principal photography. Director Todd Haynes sent him six CDs of songs from the 1950s that he and music supervisor Randy Poster had compiled. However, Burwell didn't begin composing the music until Haynes shot and assembled the film. Initially, Burwell considered using two solo instruments, as there were only two main characters and everyone else just passes through. Burwell began recording the track titled "Opening". He stated that composing such a piece first was an odd choice because none of the main characters appear in the opening scene. However, he felt it was important that what he composed induced the mood of the film and the unseen characters. Burwell also wrote several different ideas for this and sent them to Haynes.

Burwell wrote the score with a small ensemble consisting of eight to 17 musicians. The smallest arrangement consisted of string quartets with bass, harp, piano and clarinet. Apart from orchestration and conducting the score, the music was performed by the Seattle Symphony. The whole process, writing, recording and mixing, took about eight weeks for 38 minutes of music. Burwell described the character of Carol (played by Cate Blanchett) as "a cypher" and "a cool, aloof mystery". The instruments he used for her were piano, clarinet and vibe.

According to Burwell, there are three main themes in the score that communicate visual language. The music heard in the opening city scene depicts the "active engagement and passion" of Carol and Therese (played by Rooney Mara), conveying something about the characters before they are seen. This music becomes their love theme. For the theme expressing Therese's fascination with Carol, Burwell introduced a cloud of piano notes. The piano texture "required a little studio magic" with notes played differently by right and left hand; where the notes played by the left hand disappear into a cloud and those played by the right remain distinct enough to carry the melody. This was realized in the scene where Carol drives Therese to her house for the first time. The music appears like a public courtship moving somewhere private and thus the solo notes heard were the delay effects of notes that pile up into a cloud. The third theme is about absence and loss. The theme was expressed in the voice-over scene where Therese reads the letter from Carol explaining herself and the need to hasten back to New York. Burwell wrote open intervals such as the fourth, fifth and ninth, to hide the sentiment. Both women are brokenhearted and the music reflects the emptiness they feel.

Critical response
Nev Pierce of Empire called Burwell's score "sumptuous". Stefan Ellison wrote in The Scene Magazine: "Carter Burwell's score is a beautiful piece, representing Carol and Therese's romance so well and never becoming overbearing, but rather a natural part of the environment." Michael Joyce of Ham&High stated: "The discrete way he underscores emotions is ideal for a tale of a love that dare not speak its name, set in a time when a lid was kept on that kind of thing." In his review for San Francisco Chronicle, Mick LaSalle wrote: "while underscoring [interior] scenes comes the sound of piped-in organ music ... that is just a little bit weird." On Combustible Celluloid, Jeffery M. Anderson commented that the score was "perfect" for the film.

In his review for The Arts Desk, Demetrios Matheou felt that Burwell's score, "reminiscent of Philip Glass's spare but highly emotive piano pieces", sets the mood. Ryan Gilbey of New Statesman magazine noted: "The score by Carter Burwell, laced with a snake charmer's seductiveness, swells and swoops." Andrew O'Hehir at Salon commented: "Carter Burwell's haunting score sets the mood by bridging the seemingly unbridgeable gap between Schubert, Duke Ellington and Philip Glass." In her review for Little White Lies, Sophie Kaufman called the score by Burwell as "yearning". Lewis Bazley of Sky Movies stated: "Carter Burwell's score soothes and soars."

In a series of articles regarding the best of the 2010s in film, IndieWire selected Carter Burwell's score as the second best of the decade.

Accolades

The score for Carol received nominations from the Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, Critics' Choice Movie Awards, and London Film Critics' Circle It won Best Music from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the Satellite Award for Best Original Score and Best Score by the International Cinephile Society. In 2016 it won the Public Choice Award for the Best Score of the Year by the World Soundtrack Awards; in addition, Carter Burwell also received the Film Composer of the Year award.

The "Dream Cast" are the people, usually well known, that writers visualize, either as they write or when their book is finished. For me, they're more like the people I could see acting the roles in the book if it ever makes it to the screen. The original idea for a book trailer was to use a variety of actors, and then I came across a picture from the photoshoot done by E4PR, a management company, and it was fixed. They were happy to let me use their pictures, and you'll be seeing more in the course of this month, as I introduce the cast, and my characters individually.


Telehealth services are in demand, and for good reason: Telehealth improves care by delivering instant connectivity between patients and the qualified physicians they need for premium care, no matter their respective locations. In the process, telehealth physicians reduce care delivery costs, improve outcomes, reduce readmissions, and expand a provider's market coverage and service offerings.
As the locum tenens division of AMN Healthcare, the leading innovator in healthcare workforce solutions and the largest healthcare staffing firm in the U.S., Staff Care can connect you with more multi-specialty physicians than any other telehealth company. In the face of industry reports forecasting a growing physician shortage, that's a critical component to achieving success in today's healthcare market.
Staff Care provides flexible, on-demand physician staffing services. Our high-quality physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants work in full-time or part-time assignments, in both in-patient and out-patient settings, and in all major clinical specialties.
In addition to the benefits listed above, Staff Care's Telehealth Services and remote physician staffing can reduce burn-out and improve quality of life and satisfaction levels for local providers. This can enhance health system recruiting efforts, increase retention levels and reduce costly turnover.
Our telehealth services are also ideal for remote facilities without direct access to needed physicians, or that need after-hours shift coverage or the ability to deliver new specialty care services.
For more information, contact us today by emailing SCTelehealth@Staffcare.com, see our latest telehealth blog posts here, visit our LinkedIn discussion group, or download our telehealth services brochure for more detailed information.

New survey from job board CV-Library has revealed the most ridiculous rules at work that 1,200 London professionals have encountered.
The most frequently cited rule was no food or drink at workers' desks, with a number of employers perhaps deciding enough was enough when it came to crumb-encrusted keyboards in the office.
The strictest rules included time limits when using the toilet, standing when the boss enters the room and being docked pay for being a few minutes late.
Every employer knows that the workplace needs some rules and regulations. That said, you don't want to make employees feel uncomfortable or untrusted by enforcing outrageous and unnecessary rules upon them.
This could result in them leaving to find a more welcoming work culture elsewhere. So it's important that you get the balance right.

Q: Lançamento de exceções em função de número primo
Escreva uma função que recebe um número, joga uma exceção caso o número não seja positivo e devolve verdadeiro se ele é primo, ou falso, caso contrário.

Minha resposta:
public static void main(String []args) throws Exception{
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    int n = sc.nextInt();
    if(n <= 0){
        throw new Exception("Número não pode ser menor ou igual à zero!");
    }
    else{
        primo(n);
    }
}
public static void primo(int n){
    int contador = 0;

    for(int j = 1; j <= Math.sqrt(n); j++){
        if(n % j == 0){
            contador++;
            if(contador == 2){
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    if(contador == 1){
        System.out.println("Verdadeiro");
    }
    else{
        System.out.println("Falso");
    }
}

Como eu posso reescrever minha resposta na forma de uma única função booleana?
Ex: public static boolean f(int n)

A: Normalmente eu não usaria exceção para isso, acho um abuso, é bom fazer a função não imprimir nada e retornar o resultado para imprimir fora dela, assim separa as responsabilidades. Não acho exceção adequado em muitas situações, lançar Exception menos ainda que é genérica demais. Mas se quer fazer, seria isto:
import java.util.*;

class Ideone {
    public static void main(String []args) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        int n = sc.nextInt();
        try {
            System.out.println(primo(n) ? "Verdadeiro" : "Falso");
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
            System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
        }
    }
    public static boolean primo(int n) throws IllegalArgumentException {
        if (n <= 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Número não pode ser menor ou igual à zero!");
        int contador = 0;
        for (int j = 1; j <= Math.sqrt(n); j++){
            if (n % j == 0) {
                contador++;
                if (contador == 2) return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
}

Veja funcionando no ideone. E no repl.it. Também coloquei no GitHub para referência futura.
Leia isso: Por que devemos evitar retornar códigos de erro?. Procure mais sobre o assunto no site.

A: Pode simplificar até bastante:
public static boolean primo( int n )
{
    int contador = 0;

    for( int j = 1; j <= Math.sqrt( n ); j++ )
        if( n % j == 0 )
            if( ++contador == 2 )
                return false;

    return true;
}

Odd weather patterns and scouting new runs combined for the much dreaded skunking.
I had the opportunity to get out on the water again on Friday, so I took it. I had been planning on scouting out a new section of the Chauga River that I had not previously fished, and with it being shaky weather, I figured Friday was a good a day as any. I headed out early and got to the river ready to see what the day would bring.
I've fished the Chauga River probably 100 times over the last several years, but never this section of the river. I always head the other direction, but this time, I was determined to change that and see what the other way had to offer. I'm sure glad I did, as what I found was pretty stellar.
Since it's pretty clear that Mother Nature is 110% bipolar, the weather was rather odd on Friday. All last week we were in the upper 70's and low 80's during the day. Thursday night, it got down in the 30's and Friday saw overcast skies and a high of 59.
The Chauga was flowing fast on Friday and water temps were rather chilly. I knew it would probably be tough going, but I figured I could squeeze out a 2-3 fish day nonetheless. That absolutely didn't happen. I tried every typical fly I had in the box and tried to search out what I could, but it just wasn't happening. 3 hours on the river and I managed to get a few strikes, but no hookups at all.
So, in lieu of any cool pics of the beautiful trout that inhabit our local waters, I instead give you beautiful pics of the actual local waters.
The Chauga River has some really nice sections of water that are amazing. Good flows, easily accessible and (usually) always thriving with trout ready to score their next meal.
This section has a few deeper pools that will constantly keep you guessing on what patterns to toss and what might be lurking ready to take it.
The Chauga River gets decently wide in a few small sections. This would be one of those sections.
All in all, despite no hookups during my time on the water, it was a great day. I found a nice new section of water to continue stalking for the next several weeks. I know they are there and I will find them. It's time to regroup, replenish the arsenal of flies and head back in there prepared to do battle.
So, to the trout that inhabit this section….You won this time, but it ain't over. I'll be back and I'll be much better prepared. Know that.


The credits state: Mixed at RCP.
Did Clay Duncan work on this?
It's really a great score and fits the movie perfectly.
I think it's the first great epic score of 2013!
I didn't know it was mixed at RCP, i checked the digital booklet and didn't find anything about that... But i did it quickly so maybe i'm wrong!
Sounds nothing like RCP? Then what's with all the Batman Begins/Dark Knight ostinatos running all over the place? That opening track "Waking Up" is obviously influenced by Zimmer's Batman scores (with one Inception blast thrown in for good measure) and it's far from the only one. The similarities go way beyond just synth and percussion.
I agree with Edmund Meinerts, the composers were clearly influenced by Zimmer last works for the orchestral parts (especially TDKR). But what's best in Oblivion score is the synth stuff, which remains very fresh.
Hybrid, which cue is the TDKR ripoff? Judging by the album, I'd guess it's "Waking Up", but I don't know since I never saw the film or heard the complete score.
The "Oblivion" score is indeed heavily influenced by the MV/RC sound. I saw the movie again recently and it's pretty obvious.
Joseph Kosinski is clearly an MV/RC fan and if you look at all of his movies so far......they all have MV/RC-influenced scores. Even "Only the Brave".
What's with DP's helmets on the top right?
I know on the liner notes there is a thank you directed towards Zimmer.. But what's the connection between HZ & DP?
Zimmer was the Music Consultant.
While that does make sense, it was well over 3 years ago. If anything, their helmets were there during the release of the soundtrack and / or film. But who knows. Perhaps that is why, perhaps not.
How many people exactly composed the tracks?
Is it possible to purchase a copy of this album? I can't seem to find it.
Hi I'm from Chile. I study graphic design at Diego Portales University I have to do a work about Hans Zimmer . I would know if you can help me please, answering some questions ¿What do you think about him as composer? ¿What is his best soundtrack and why? ¿ What is important about his life?(something anecdotic) .If you tell me all the things that you know I'd be really grateful.
Final Scheme, CD 1, is not on the recently leaked sessions?
I'm fairly sure it is. Look again.
Well then son, you need to download it again. It's listed on here as track 27. On the sessions, it's cue 5m26s Final Scheme. It was released as the bonus track "Castor"
There's an "s" in front of the 26 because it's source music. I would have thought that it's just part of the score, but I guess not. It plays when Sam is in the End of Line club talking with Castor, or "Zues". All of the music playing during that part of the film (End of Line, Final Scheme, Party Crashers) is considered source music.
Well you know it's nearly all tracks by Daft Punk & Joe Trapanese.
Flynn's Flashback is by Toby Chu.
Clay Duncan was the first guy hired to score Tron Legacy (hence his trailer music back 4 years ago). His music actually had the roots of the final score.
Director wanted Daft, so they kicked him.
Sadly, m'friend, I don't think it will surface. All we've had were countless fake track lists.
Inception... And Sherlock Holmes (1 and 2)!!!

A'ashura ‑ A Day of Grief
Imam Reza (A.S.) said: The one for whom the day of A'ashura is a day of tragedy, grief and weeping, Allah The Mighty, The Glorious, shall make the Day of Judgment, a day of joy and happiness for him. Bihar al‑Anwar, vol. 44, pg. 284.
Muharram ‑ The Month of Mourning
Imam Reza (A.S.) said: With the advent of the month of Muharram, my father Imam Kadhim (A.S.) would never be seen laughing; gloom and sadness would overcome him for (the first) ten days of the month; and when the tenth day of the month would dawn, it would be a day of tragedy, grief and weeping for him. Amaali Saduq, pg. 111
Laughing Eyes
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: O' Fatimah! Every eye shall be weeping on the Day of Judgment except the eye which has shed tears over the tragedy of Husain (A.S.) for surely, that eye shall be laughing and shall be given the glad tidings of the bounties and comforts of Paradise. Bihar al‑Anwar, vol. 44 pg. 193.
Reward of the Martyred Companions
Imam Reza (A.S.) said (to one of his companions): If you desire that for you be the reward equivalent to that of those martyred along with Husain (A.S.), then whenever you remember him say: ' Oh! Would that I had been with them! A great achievement would I have achieved'. Wasaail al‑Shia'h, vol. 14, pg. 501.
The Customary Mourning
Abu Haroon al‑Makfoof said: I presented myself before Imam Sadiq (A.S.) whereupon he said to me: "Recite for me a poetry" and so I recited for him. He said "Not in this manner. Recite for me as you recite poems and elegies over the grave of Husain (A.S.)" and so I recited for him (again). Bihar al Anwar vol 44, pg. 287.
Reward for Reciting Poetry about Husain (A.S.)
Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said: There is none who recites poetry about Husain (A.S.) and weeps and makes others weep by means of it, except that Allah makes Paradise incumbent upon him and forgives his sins. Rijal al‑Shaikh al‑ Tusi pg. 189.
People of Eulogies and Elegies
Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said: All praise is for Allah, who has placed amongst the people, those who arrive in our presence, eulogizing us and reciting elegies about us. Wasail al‑Shiah vol. 10, pg. 469.
Poetry Recitation During the Period of Mourning
Imam Reza (A.S.) said (to De'bil, a poet sincerely devoted to the Ahlul Bayt): I desire that you recite for me poetry, for surely, these days (of the month of Muharram) are the days of grief and sorrow, which have passed over us, Ahlul Bayt. Mustadrak al‑Wasail, vol 10, pg. 386.
Shiites‑The Companions and Associates
Imam 'Ali (A.S.) said: Surely, Allah has chosen for us followers (Shiites), who assist us and are happy at our happiness and are sad in our sadness. Ghuraral‑Hikam vol. 1, pg. 135.
Paradise ‑ The Recompense of A'zadari
Imam 'Ali Ibn al‑Husain (A.S.) used to say: Every Mu'min, whose eyes shed tears upon the killing of Husain Ibn 'Ali (A.S.) and his companions, such that the tears roll down his cheeks, Allah shall accommodate him in the elevated rooms of Paradise. Yanaabe'al‑Mawaddah, pg. 419.
In Remembrance of the Children of Fatimah (A.S.)
Imam Sajjad (A.S.) said: Surely, I have never brought to mind the martyrdom of the children of Fatimah (A.S.) except that I have been choked with tears due to it. Bihar al‑Anwar vol. 46, pg. 109.
Mourning in the Houses
For those unable to go for the ziarat of Imam Husain (A.S.) on the day of A'ashura, Imam Baqir (A.S.) mentions the manner of performing A'zadari as follows: He should mourn over Husain (A.S.), weep for him and instruct the members of the house to weep for him. He should establish the mourning ceremony in the house by exhibiting lamentations and grief over him; the people should meet one another in their homes and offer condolences and consolation to each other over the calamities which befell him. Kaamil al‑Ziyaraat pg. 175.
'Ali (A.S.) Weeps While Grieving the Martyrs of Kerbala
Imam Baqir (A.S.) said: Amirul Mu'mineen (A.S.), along with two of his companions, happened to pass by Kerbala and as he did so, tears filled his eyes. He said (to them), "This is the resting place of their animals; and this is where their luggage shall be laid down; and it is here that their blood shall be shed. Blessed are you O' Earth, that the blood of the beloved shall be spilled upon you." Bihar al Anwar, vol: 98 pg. 258.
Tears ‑ Barrier of Hell
Imam Baqir (A.S.) said: He who remembers us, or in whose presence, we are remembered, and (as a result) tears flow from his eyes, even though they may be in the measure of a wing of a mosquito, Allah shall construct for him a house in paradise and make the tears a barrier between him and the fire (of hell). Al‑Ghadeer vol. 2, pg. 202.
Twenty Years of Weeping!
Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said: `As for A'li Ibn al‑Husain (A.S.), he cried over Husain (A.S.) for twenty years (after the tragedy of Kerbala); never would any food be placed before him except that he would begin to weep. Bihar al Anwar, vol 46, pg. 108.
The Etiquette of Mourning
Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said: When Ibrahim, the son of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) died, tears filled the eyes of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W), whereupon he said, " The eyes are tearful and the heart is anguished (but) we shall not say anything which shall anger the Lord. Surely we, O' Ibrahim, are grief‑stricken for you" Bihar al‑Anwar vol: 22 , pg. : 157.
Tearful Eyes
Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said: He in whose presence we (and our miseries) are mentioned and, as a result, his eyes pour out tears, Allah shall make his face forbidden upon the fire of hell. Bihar al Anwar vol. 44, pg. 185.
Husaini Gatherings
Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said to Fudhail: Do you sit together, talk and discuss amongst yourselves? Fudhail replied: Yes. The Imam then said: I approve of these sittings. So keep our `issue' (Imamate) alive. May Allah exhibit mercy on those who revive our issue and mission! Wasail al‑Shiah , vol. 10, pg. 391.
Invaluable Tears
Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said (to Masma', one of those who mourned over Imam Husain (A.S.)): May Allah have mercy upon your tears! Do know that you are regarded as being of those who are deeply concerned about us and of those who are happy at our happiness and aggrieved at our sorrow. Do know that you shall witness the presence of my fathers near you at the time of your death. Wasail al‑Shia, vol., 10, pg. 397
Scalded Hearts
Imam Sadiq (A.S.) (while sitting on the prayer mat prayed for the mourners and those going for the ziarat of the Ahlul Bayt (A.S.) as follows): O' Lord, have mercy upon those eyes, which have shed tears in compassion for us; and upon those hearts, which have been restless and blistered for us; and upon those wailings, which have been for us. Bihar al‑Anwar vol 98 , pg. 8.
Tears over the Oppressed State of the Shiites

One thing I just can't stand about our apartment is the popcorn ceiling! I would much prefer the white slatted ceilings found in many Swedish summer homes.
One of our favorite chairs is the white Lamino lounge chair upholstered in white sheepskin, we have one here at the store!
What a beautiful carpet on the wide plank pine floors.
Old plastered walls, white ceiling and bright window.
This home has some exposed beams happening.
I wonder if it looks just as good with high ceilings?
These lucky people! Most of the homes in this post came with white slatted ceilings. I don't even want to think about the cost to do it in our apartment even with thin pine slats… We do wonder what would happen if we took down the ceiling dry wall and exposed all the wood and sprayed it white, but that's not a project that will happen anytime soon!

This is not your mother's Lord of the Flies!
In a not-so-distant future, teenagers have gotten so out of control and show such a horrible lack of respect for their elders that the Japanese government has adopted a radical survival game as punishment–Battle Royale. The film follows one ninth grade class as they're abducted from a class field trip to be the next slate of competitors.
The movie, like the game, is brutal and unrelenting. Trapped on a remote island and held prisoner by the dog collar monitoring system around their necks, these teens, along with two mysterious outsiders, are ordered to kill or be killed, until just one of them remains. Each is given a duffel bag of supplies which includes a randomly selected weapon: gun, automatic bow-and-arrow, pot lid–it's all in the luck of the draw. If after three days, more than one teen remains, their collars will detonate–game over.
Directed by Kinji Fukasaku, this cross between the TV show Survivor and Kill Bill has become something of a cult hit both in Japan and the US. The film wastes no time getting into the game and moves along at a rapid pace. A countdown of survivors, updated with each new death, heightens the tension. Teenage love, "best friends 4-ever," and high school cliques all come into play. Takeshi Kitano (Zatoichi) appears as the teacher who orchestrates the game.
Teenage murder rampage – just what film was meant for!
BTW – the Overstock.com "Worldstock.com" ads on TV are straight out of the book Air, by Jeff Ryman. Eerie.


Yes, I know, this blog has seen better days. I have not put any new entry since July, which is a hell of long time ago, however, I think I have never been more productive than in the past few months.
Truth is that in the past year I started writing for a few Italian and international tennis websites and this is taking a lot of time. Come to think that during the WTA Finals, I was writing some four articles every evening in two different languages...it is quite a challenge, though I love it.
I have also attended WTA Linz, where I had the chance to interview a few players, including Camila Giorgi and Karolina Pliskova. With that, I got accreditation for four events this year, with another event coming up next week in Brescia, a number I will try to improve in 2015!
I promise I will try to keep up with the Alpine skiing on this page, for which I have not started writing on any other publication, but I am basically full time busy writing about tennis nowadays, which makes it quite hard to come back here and write about tennis more.
