Vortices in Superconductors
The main focus of our research is in the area of superconductivity, with a particular interest in the static and dynamic properties of superconducting vortices and other magnetic flux structures. We use the technique of scanning Hall probe microscopy to image the vortices, allowing direct spatial information about their static configurations and dynamic flow patterns.
Recently, we have developed high-speed techniques to detect in real time the passage of individual flux tubes (containing ~100 flux quanta) beneath a fixed Hall sensor. Using this technique, we have measured for the first time clear evidence for the chaotic dynamics of driven flux bundles in a superconductor.
We are also working on the control of vortex motion at the single-vortex level. Using advanced lithographic techniques, we are preparing novel surface-modulated superconductors that will allow us to move vortices in controlled single steps. Such structures may find novel applications in precision metrology.

We'd love your help. Let us know what's wrong with this preview of Housework Blues by Danielle Raine.

Recommends it for: all housework resistants and anyone that enjoys psychological + mmotivational reads.
I am giving Housework Blues: A Survival Guide book mmy whole-hearted endorsemment!!!
I've read a ton of books on housework/organization for ideas; as a true procrastinator & bibliophile, mmy love of reading gives mme an excuse to avoid chores!
When I first saw it, I picked it up, put it down, picked it up again - so glad that I did!! Upon reading the intro, I was hooked...this book is everything it claimms to be!
As suggested, I went to the chapter applicable to mmy situation - Chapter 8: Moti I am giving Housework Blues: A Survival Guide book mmy whole-hearted endorsemment!!!
As suggested, I went to the chapter applicable to mmy situation - Chapter 8: Motivation. I didn't really have to read all the other chapters, but you know ... mmy procrastinator and bibliophile genes.
I have to say Ms. Danielle Raine writes brilliantly; I enjoyed reading the psychological aspect of dealing with housework. Reading along, I highlighted mmy favourite parts. I found Housework Blues very insightful, inspiring and mmotivating!!! Seriously, mmy husband - Mmmichael (the organized one) can vouch for the influence this book had upon mme.
I never looked at housework as being 'mmeditative', but that's all changed now! The next day I organized four shelves of our kitchen. The day after that the cookbook shelf and dreadful cupboard underneath the sink. The third day, we went out for a relaxing afternoon at our favourite cafe. A couple of timmes I enquired when we mmight be heading homme. In the back of mmy mmind, I wanted to clean/organize SOMETHING!!! I'mm looking forward to a mmore streammlined and organized kitchen arrangemment.
I'mm truly grateful to Ms. Danielle Raine for immparting the psychological aspects of housework which are mmotivating and inspiring immprovemments in mmy particular housework challenges!!!
This is a really great book for anyone looking/wanting/needing to de-clutter, organize, and enjoy their life. Raine holds the readers hand through the process and you genuinely appreciate her efforts. So what if she wrote this without you specifically in mind? She still feels like your personal cheerleader! The steps to running your house are so doable it's hard to image why you haven't done any of this years ago!
This was a good read & makes me feel better knowing so many women feel like I do about housework (boring, senseless, time-consuming, etc)! I loved the quotes and proverbs scattered throughout the book. I'm going to try some of the suggestions to help put me in a better frame of mind while cleaning - putting on my favorite music, aromatherapy - and I like the idea of doing something I want to do for an hour or so before starting my household list.

A good attitude may not make the task any less boring, etc. but at least it helps you get thru it.
I won this book as part of the goodreads.com book-giveaway, and thank the author Danielle Raine for sending it to me - I enjoyed it!
Good book, lots of good points, and fun to read. My only criticism is that it becomes very repetitious in places. With more concise, attentive writing, it could have been considerably shorter. The most helpful point for me was do some of what you love first every day, and the housework will follow more easily and with less resentment.
Yes. I get the irony. Truly.

Andrew W.K. Doesn't Actually Want to Party Until He Pukes
by Camille Dodero
As SOTC's de facto head of internal affairs, it falls upon me to remind you that our newsroom-mates over at Fork in the Road have an eating-themed interview with recovering hesher Andrew W.K. Since the endlessly energetic Dinner With the Band guest is famous for a headbanging rager called "Party 'Til You Puke," we never wanted to know what that used to be. But it's amusing–and completely in character–that if the frantic piano-player was to open a restaurant, it'd be a mouth-flaming one with "all of the great spicy foods of the world represented." (Andrew admits he's the sort of guy who walks into an Indian restaurant and requests food made "spicy for an Indian person.")
But what's probably more useful to know is that Mr. Wilkes-Krier has actually taken pains not to gross you out at his live shows–he doesn't eat four-to-five hours before he performs. "There have been times where I've been like, 'Oh, I can eat this bagel, it's only two hours before the show,' and then, sure enough, right after the show, or even during the show, I puke it out." No one could really blame him if he did, though: "I wrote a song called 'Party Til You Puke' and sometimes people have thought I was intentionally trying to tie it into the song or something like that, but I prefer not to do it." Good to know. ["Andrew W.K. Has The Best Idea for a Restaurant Ever"/ Fork in the Road]

(++++) WISHES, AND HOPES, FOR THE SEASON
Holiday Cards 2016: Charley Harper's Cardinals; The Group of Seven—Lawren S. Harris and Tom Thomson; Adolf Dehn—Starry Night. Pomegranate. $15 each (Cardinals, Seven); $12 (Dehn).
At a time of year traditionally associated with good wishes, good times and a good life – and importantly, for many, the prospect of a good afterlife – there seems precious little about which to rejoice this year. Gratitude for what is seems largely to have given way to dismay for what is not; pleasure for what one has appears to have diminished, while unhappiness over what one lacks seems to have increased. To some extent, as winter takes hold in the Northern Hemisphere, feelings of gloom are exacerbated by limited daylight, day after day of darkness beneath overcast skies, and biting cold – it is worth remembering that Dante's Inferno has its ninth and lowest circle not in eternal heat but in a vast, perpetually frozen landscape. A traditional time of year for joy and thanks – whether to each other, among family members, or to higher powers – seems to have gone awry: yes, people may acknowledge, if it is pointed out to them, that they are better off than others (materially and even spiritually), but for many, it does not feel that way. This is not so much a matter of Yeats' oft-quoted lines from The Second Coming: "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;/ Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world." Rather, it is later lines in the same poem that seem to be operative this year: "The best lack all conviction, while the worst/ Are full of passionate intensity."
One saving grace at a time of deep dissatisfaction – and make no mistake, it is a kind of grace – is art. And although most of us will never be artists, that is no barrier to sharing uplifting art along with the simple words, "Season's Greetings." A great way to do that is with holiday cards from Pomegranate, a publisher that promotes the inspirational nature of art through many media, from books to calendars to puzzles, stickers and games. So diverse and wide-ranging are Pomegranate's offerings within its holiday-card line that it is hard to imagine anyone not being able to find something to provide a touch of uplift that can then be passed along to light a figurative candle in a darkness that seems all too real.
An excellent way to connect with things beyond ourselves is through nature, and a number of Pomegranate cards this year offer ways to do that – using art that is as different as the elements of nature itself. For example, Charley Harper's Cardinals celebrates a bird that is strongly associated with winter because it does not fly away from the cold and snow but stands out against ice and bare tree limbs in the males' brilliant red color. Harper (1922-2007) was a poet of the natural world, with a drawing style emphasizing an unrealistic flatness that somehow accentuates the features of animals and makes them seem realer than real. The approach is unusual and instantly recognizable once seen – Harper's drawings are quite unlike those of other nature artists. There are four of them in the 20-card box, five cards with each drawing. "Cardinal Courtship," showing a male and female beak to beak with the male about to pop a treat into the female's mouth, is clear enough, and food is also the focus of "Cardinal Cuisine," which shows a male pecking seeds from the snow-covered ground. These two designs are attractive and basically serious, but in Harper's art, there is always a hint of humor, and that comes further to the fore in the other two designs. One is called "Cool Cardinal" and features a side view of a male upon which big white dots of snow are falling – and there is a small pile of show on his head, which he does not seem to mind at all. The rectangular scene of the cardinal is framed on both left and right by red dots on a white background, creating a very pleasing color scheme with a whimsical twist. The final design is called "B-r-r-r-r-rdbath" and shows a scene of a male cardinal, his bright red feathers complemented by a red frame that is shaped so the bird is seen in a circle, flapping his wings rapidly while sitting in a birdbath on a snowy day. This cardinal is the only one in this box looking right out of the card at the viewer – all the other birds are seen in side views – and the effect is one of peering through a porthole or circular window as the bird looks back. Harper's cardinals can bring much-needed smiles both to the cards' senders and to their recipients, providing a connection with nature that offers brief respite from complex human affairs.
Nature is seen on a grander scale in 20 cards from the Canadian artists' community called the Group of Seven. Again there are five cards in each of four designs. The original central person in the group's formation was Tom Thomson (1877-1917), and two of his works appear here, both from 1916. Both are woodland scenes showing a distinctive and meticulous approach to portrayal of trees in the snow; one is called "Snow in the Woods" and the other is titled "Wood Interior, Winter." Both offer almost-realistic but subtly emphasized scenes of woodland tranquility beneath a blanket of undisturbed white. Thomson had died before the group he inspired was organized under the aegis of Lawren S. Harris (1885-1970), whose art is quite different from Thomson's and complements it intriguingly in this holiday-card collection. Harris offers a more impressionistic view of nature, favoring, in these cards, triangular central features that taper toward the top and appear to reach ever upward. "Mt. Lefroy" (1930) is just what it says: a portrait of a snow-capped mountain whose top pierces the clouds. But this is not a realistically portrayed mountain: it is one capped by snow that looks almost like combed human hair, with neat parallel valleys flowing from the mountaintop downward as the mountain's peak juts up into concentric circles of clouds. There is something almost hypnotic about the scene, which is calming as well as majestic. "Winter Comes from the Arctic to the Temperate Zone" (c. 1935) is similarly built around a central upward-striving peak, but here the perspective is managed in such a way that distance is uncertain: the mounds of snow in the foreground are shaped like the mountain in the background but may simply be covering a tapering tree that is nearby, with the mountain much more distant. The framing of this central scene uses concentric not-circles – they are jagged shapes done in hues of the same colors used for the mountain – and the whole picture pulls the eye in and causes it to swoop gently upward in a wholly suitable seasonal response to the art.
What is missing in both the Charley Harper and Group of Seven cards is any sense of human beings in or interacting with the natural scenes. But Pomegranate has other seasonal cards in which humans do appear, whether in an idealized setting or in a realistic one. Adolf Dehn (1895-1968) was a Minnesota artist who often portrayed regional scenes, and one such appears this year on a set of 12 holiday cards. Called "Starry Night" and inevitably calling up thoughts of the famous Van Gogh painting, this is a scene in which the vast dark sky and its sparkling stars fill more than half the card – but the immensity is not in the least uncomfortable. The reason is that the card's foreground shows bare, snow-covered trees whose branches are highlighted against the night sky, and amid the trees – providing the only bright colors in the watercolor – are three people on skis just starting to head down a hill, plus, in a particularly nice touch, a deer whose curiosity has apparently brought it closer than usual to people (although it is still keeping its distance). There is a distinctly homey quality to this card, which does not glamorize or romanticize a winter night – it certainly looks cold enough, as the bundled-up skiers show – but which draws the eye up from the foreground snow into the heavens above, using a technique very different from that of Lawren Harris but one that is equally effective and in some ways more subtle. Those who celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday find it a time of spiritual comfort, and even those who do not share that faith can look to the season as one of warmth, human connection and striving to be better than we are. That is the counterweight to all the dismal feelings that seem to permeate life this year – and if these Pomegranate cards cannot, on their own, relieve the widespread sense of disaffection and anomie, they can at least provide a small measure of beauty and comfort to offset distress with quiet hope.

<br>I have a beautiful antique mosaic bench, but the wood base is rotting and I want to repair it if possible. The design is beautiful & I could never recreate it, so I need a way to keep the mosaic top intact while replacing the wood? Any suggestions?
Would you be able to upload some pictures? Is the mosaic top set in wood, or is just a mosaic with no frame?
I came across this wonderful post, and instruction on building a farmhouse bench on the Home Depot blog.
You may consider using these plans for the construction of the legs for your bench restoring project?
You can just make a simple platform top out of concrete board and add you mosaic top to that!
I wanted to chime in and see if I could help save a beautiful antique bench.
As a woodworker I would cut a piece of scrap plywood as large as the arms and back will allow and then set it on top of the mosaic tile design. You can use small clamps to hold it to whats left of the old plywood.
Now carefully flip the bench over. Make sure and put something down to protect the bench. The old plywood looks to be pretty bad so if there is not enough to hold the entire bench in place use another piece of plywood and sandwich the mosaic tile. Lightly tap the back of the bench to get the tile to release.
Once you get it to release carefully undo the clamps and lay it flat upside down. If need be add a 1" x 2" on all 4 sides to keep the tile together.
Carefully remove the weathered plywood with a stiff putty knife and a hammer. Cut a new piece of plywood to size. Apply new mastic to the back of the tile and adhere the new plywood to the back. Keep the tile sandwiched and flip it over. Look at all of the tiles to make sure that none of them moved on you. Firmly press all of them into the mastic and make sure they are all level. This can be done with a piece of flat wood and a small hammer. Place the wood down and lightly tap it to level out all of the tile.
Install the new plywood and mosaic tile into the bench and either grout or caulk around the edges to fill the gap. Let it dry completely before you use it again.
Post some pictures once you get it restored. I would love to see it.
Mandy01 your bench is beautiful, and totally worth the time and effort you will have to give to restore it!
Thank you so much for the pictures they certainly help us, to help you!!!
Christine your advice is great, thank you for "chiming in"! Your woodworking expertise is just what we needed to hear!
I would also love to see some pictures of your restoration process! Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Theater|'Hamilton' Inc.: The Path to a Billion-Dollar Broadway Show
'Hamilton' Inc.: The Path to a Billion-Dollar Broadway Show
CreditCreditDaniel Hertzberg
By Michael Paulson and David Gelles
Just how many Hamiltons can "Hamilton" make? Broadway's new blockbuster has only been open for 10 months, but already, this hip-hop musical about America's founding fathers is one of the great successes in recent theatrical history.
The show's cast members were invited to the White House and have become regular guests on late-night talk shows. Lin-Manuel Miranda, the musical's creator, was on the cover of Rolling Stone. Fans and enterprising line-sitters camp outside the theater around the clock, hoping to snag last-minute seats. Tickets are almost impossible to come by, except those resold at highly marked-up prices. And celebrities have streamed in: Beyoncé. Barbra. Bernie.
All that enthusiasm means a lot of money for the men and women who brought the show to Broadway. Months ago, "Hamilton" recouped the $12.5 million it cost to mount. It is now making an estimated $600,000 a week in profit, and every indication is that its touring productions, which begin in Chicago in September and in San Francisco next March, will be highly profitable, too.
Producers and investors together stand to make tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars. Mr. Miranda will become quite wealthy. And a diverse group of collaborators — from the lighting designer to Mr. Miranda's show-tune-loving father — will share in the bounty.
Even if "Hamilton" isn't playing in Bangkok decades after its debut (as was the case with "Phantom of the Opera"), it's not unreasonable to expect that Mr. Miranda's unlikely hit will ultimately generate upward of $1 billion in sales.
Of course, nothing is certain: Theater history is dotted with fizzled triumphs. ("The Producers," for example, was a must-see on Broadway and toured, but lost steam.) After the June 12 Tony Awards, "Hamilton" will face a new set of challenges, with new cast members and new markets. But there is a demonstrated path to riches for the few musicals able to translate Broadway success into long-running and international popularity: "The Lion King" and "Phantom" each claims to have grossed more than $6 billion worldwide, and "Wicked" has passed $4 billion.
Forecasting the future for "Hamilton" is risky, but the show's current fortunes, and the model provided by other shows, are instructive. Here, based on documents filed with government agencies and interviews with people familiar with various aspects of the musical's finances, is a look at how "Hamilton" makes money and where that money goes.
Broadway: $100 million per year
'The revolution's happening in New York.'
CreditDaniel Hertzberg
On Broadway, "Hamilton" is consistently selling out all 1,321 seats at the Richard Rodgers Theater and is currently grossing about $1.9 million a week in ticket sales. Simply by maintaining that pace, the show would bring in nearly $100 million a year (that's grosses, not profits). But there is reason to expect that figure to rise. In a bid to blunt profiteering — the widespread scalping of tickets at highly marked-up prices — the show may soon raise prices above the current ceiling of $475 for premium seating.
At $100 million a year, the Broadway production of the show would pass the $1 billion mark in a decade. The show's current pace will be tough to sustain, but not unimaginable — "Wicked" this year set a record by reaching the $1 billion mark on Broadway in just over 12 years, and "Hamilton," although running in a smaller theater, has higher ticket prices.
Scalping: $60 million per year so far
'We create. You just wanna move our money around.'
The hottest ticket on Broadway cost, on average, $172 during the week that ended June 5. But that's just what the initial purchaser paid. Many theatergoers pay considerably more by purchasing resold tickets on sites like StubHub, Craigslist and Ticketmaster. Those tickets are being listed for as much as $5,018 each, but most are sold for considerably less. The average resale of "Hamilton" tickets on StubHub is roughly $872, according to a New York Times analysis, a markup of $700 above the current average original ticket sale price.
For any given performance, roughly 13 to 22 percent of the seats at the Richard Rodgers — somewhere between 180 and 300 tickets — are available on the secondary market, according to The Times's research and interviews with ticket sellers. So for each performance of "Hamilton," ticket sellers and brokers are reaping roughly $150,000. With the Broadway cast putting on more than 400 shows per year, that means these sellers could reap about $60 million per year, just in New York — money the producers, investors and Mr. Miranda will never see.
"Hamilton" fans outside the Richard Rodgers Theater on a recent night talked about the astronomical ticket prices and the epic process of standing in line — sometimes for 36 hours.
Touring: $80 million per year, in Chicago
'Tomorrow there'll be more of us.'
If "Hamilton" follows the pattern of other recent theatrical megahits, its profits will substantially increase when it plays outside of New York. The big money goes to shows that globalize by running productions in multiple countries, often at the same time. ("The Phantom of the Opera," for example, has been mounted in 13 languages in 151 cities in 30 countries.)
"Hamilton" is moving quickly to take advantage of its moment. The Chicago production will begin just 13 months after the Broadway opening and run indefinitely. The PrivateBank Theater in Chicago, where "Hamilton" will play, is much bigger than the show's Broadway house, meaning that even if ticket prices are somewhat lower, revenues could be strong, and that run could nearly double the show's weekly profitability.
"Hamilton" is also planning two separate North American touring productions: one beginning in March in San Francisco, and one beginning in Seattle in 2018. The theaters on the road are likely to price tickets lower than in New York, but many of them hold more people, so these two tours, on top of Chicago, could dramatically increase the show's current revenues and profits.
The show's producers will soon announce a fifth production, in London, and if "Hamilton" follows the path of other monster musicals, it will eventually explore the possibilities of productions in Asia, Australia or Continental Europe. Profits from foreign productions are difficult to forecast, and given that "Hamilton" is a lyrically dense musical about American history, its appeal outside the United States, and in languages other than English, is uncertain.
Merchandise: $15 million and counting
'Can I buy you a drink?'
From T-shirts to CDs to books, fans cannot get enough "Hamilton."
The cast album has sold over 428,000 copies domestically, according to Nielsen. Track downloads have topped 212,000; on-demand streams from sources like Spotify and Apple Music have eclipsed 365 million. Together, that's roughly $11 million in gross retail sales.
More music is on the way. Mr. Miranda is working with the Roots' drummer, Questlove, on a new recording of "Hamilton" songs, and more, featuring pop stars like Busta Rhymes, Ben Folds, Regina Spektor and Chance the Rapper.
"Hamilton" can even sell books. "Hamilton: The Revolution," a behind-the-scenes book about the creation of the musical by Jeremy McCarter and Mr. Miranda, went on sale in April with a list price of $40. In less than two months, it sold more than 101,000 copies, according to Nielsen, and hit the No. 1 spot on the New York Times hardcover nonfiction best-seller list. (Other authors have benefited from "Hamilton" fever, too: Ron Chernow's 2004 biography, which inspired Mr. Miranda to write the musical, has spent 33 weeks on the paperback best-seller list. This fall, Three Rivers Press will publish Jeff Wilser's self-help book "Alexander Hamilton's Guide to Life.")
Many of those who manage to get inside the Richard Rodgers Theater visit the gift stand, which sells hats, magnets and mugs. And goodies are available even to those who can't get inside the theater. Bloomingdale's is selling "Hamilton" apparel in New York, and plans to do the same in other cities as the show tours. Online, there is a thriving market for unlicensed "Hamilton" tchotchkes: perfume, dolls and key chains made by enterprising fans.
There is even a beer. Gun Hill Brewing in the Bronx has made a "Hamilton"-inspired pale ale. The brew won't enrich Mr. Miranda and his team; instead, some profits are going to Graham Windham, the social services organization co-founded by Alexander Hamilton's wife, Eliza. Dave Lopez, a partner at Gun Hill, says, "Anything 'Hamilton' sells these days."
Producers and investors: $31 million per year, and counting
'Who provided those funds?'
The vast majority of profits from "Hamilton" is going to the producers and investors who put up the $12.5 million to finance the show.
Jeffrey Seller, the lead producer, will reap big financial rewards. A veteran of other Broadway hits, including "Rent" and Mr. Miranda's first musical, "In the Heights," Mr. Seller splits 42 percent of the net profits from the show with its other producers, Jill Furman and Sander Jacobs. (They are not saying how they divvy up their share.) That means the producers are splitting about $13 million annually from the current Broadway production.
The producers are also entitled to 3 percent of the adjusted gross from "Hamilton," which amounts to about $52,000 weekly, or $2.7 million annually, from the Broadway production. (Producers commonly get both a royalty and a share of profits.)
For Mr. Seller, it doesn't end there. His production company, Adventureland, is entitled to another 5 percent of net profits, or about $1.6 million a year, from the current production. Adventureland receives these so-called torchbearer points in recognition of his role in the show's development.
The investors who backed "Hamilton" — a group of about 100 people that includes Robert Greenblatt, the NBC Entertainment chairman, as well as the power publicist Ken Sunshine — split another 42 percent of the profits, or about $13 million annually, from the Broadway production. (The list of "Hamilton" investors has not been made public.)
Those are big numbers for the theater world, but they are likely to get much bigger in the coming years, as the show opens productions beyond New York.
Lin-Manuel Miranda: $6.4 million per year, and counting
'Why do you write like you're running out of time?'
Mr. Miranda, the show's 36-year-old creator, wears an unusual number of hats: He came up with the idea; he wrote the music, book and lyrics; and he is, for now, the star. That means he gets a salary (as an actor), as well as authorship royalties and profits that ordinarily would be split among multiple people. He is expected to leave the cast this summer and will then lose his salary (an undisclosed amount), but he will continue to receive the royalties and profits for as long as the show runs.
He is likely to make at least $6.4 million from the Broadway production over the next year; his earnings will grow considerably when the other productions begin.
The show has also dramatically transformed his earning potential. Disney has proved particularly enthusiastic: Mr. Miranda wrote a cantina song for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," is writing music for the animated film "Moana" and has been cast to star opposite Emily Blunt in a live-action sequel to "Mary Poppins." A film version of "In the Heights," which had stalled in Hollywood, is back in development; and a film version of "Hamilton" is likely.
Mr. Miranda is also the ultimate rights holder for "Hamilton." After the show's commercial life ends, he will own the rights for productions in regional theaters and schools, which can generate considerable revenue over time.
The Creative Team: $6.5 million per year, and counting
'I never had a group of friends before. I promise that I'll make y'all proud.'
Mr. Miranda rewards loyalty. The director, choreographer and orchestrator for "Hamilton," as well as the show's costume, lighting and sound designers, all worked on "In the Heights." All of them — and the show's set designer — are entitled to royalties, and all are likely to make millions of dollars over the life of the show.
Thomas Kail, the director, has known Mr. Miranda since the two were introduced after both graduated (a few years apart) from Wesleyan University. Mr. Kail helped develop "In the Heights" and "Hamilton." He is entitled to 2.5 percent of the adjusted gross revenue from "Hamilton," or about $2.3 million a year just from the New York production. Mr. Kail also receives 1.5 percent of net profits, currently about another $470,000 annually.
Andy Blankenbuehler, the show's choreographer, receives 1.75 percent of gross sales and 0.5 percent of profits — currently totaling $1.7 million or so annually.
Mr. Miranda's musical partner, Alex Lacamoire, gets just under 1 percent of gross sales, currently about $790,000 annually. And the show's costume, lighting and sound designers — Paul Tazewell, Howell Binkley and Nevin Steinberg — receive between 0.37 and 0.5 percent of gross sales, currently worth about $336,000 to $454,000 per year.
As with all of the royalty and profit-sharing arrangements associated with "Hamilton," the value of the creative team's cut will increase significantly when the productions in Chicago and beyond begin.
Performers: $312,000 at least, per year, split about 30 ways
'We'll give the world to you, and you'll blow us all away.'
This is the one late addition to the "Hamilton" profit plan: Mr. Seller agreed in April to share some of the show's earnings with the performers who helped as the musical was being developed.
The details are still being ironed out, but probably the opening-night casts at the Public Theater and on Broadway, and perhaps participants in pre-opening workshops at the Public Theater, will share 1 percent of the profits from the Broadway production and will also share a portion of the profits of touring productions.
The profit-sharing is likely to affect about 30 people, including not only actors and dancers but also stage managers. It's not clear how much they would get, but perhaps about $10,000 a year from the Broadway production alone. That is not a lot of money compared with what others are earning, but it is still significant to performers, many of whom work for relatively low salaries and have long periods between roles. (On Broadway, actors make a union-mandated minimum of $1,900 a week; the performers in "Hamilton" are making more than that. But many performers spend much of their careers Off or Off Off Broadway, where salaries are considerably lower.)
The "Hamilton" performers worked hard to get a profit-sharing promise — after they were unable to negotiate a deal as the Broadway production was opening, they hired a lawyer to represent them. It took them eight months after the Broadway production opened to win an agreement; they had argued that it was not fair, given their contributions to the show, to exclude them from sharing in its success.
Friends and Family: $3.7 million per year, and counting
'Don't forget from whence you came.'
"Hamilton" has proved lucrative for three others who helped along the way: Ron Chernow, a historian whose biography of Alexander Hamilton inspired and formed the basis for the musical; the Public Theater, the Off Broadway nonprofit that nurtured the show's late-stage development and presented its pre-Broadway production; and, most surprisingly, Luis A. Miranda Jr., Lin-Manuel Miranda's father.
Mr. Chernow, who is the musical's historical consultant and its tireless champion, gets 1 percent of the show's adjusted grosses as a royalty — currently about $900,000 a year.
The Public Theater, which famously lived for years off the profits from transferring "A Chorus Line" to Broadway, gets 5 percent of the profits and 1 percent of the adjusted gross — currently totaling about $2.5 million a year. The Public says it is putting most of the money into its cash reserves rather than its operating budget.
Luis Miranda Jr., a political consultant, is the most unusual beneficiary. He is an unabashed fan of musical theater who collects cast recordings and sings in the car, and he introduced his son to the genre. He is often present at his son's side, accompanying him to events and helping him manage many aspects of his life and career. He is getting 1 percent of the show's profits — currently about $312,000 a year.
In each case, the value of their share will increase as the show adds productions.
Putting on a show: $34 million per year, in New York
'The art of the trade. How the sausage gets made.'
Even before the profits or the royalties for "Hamilton" are distributed, there is a more fundamental expense: the cost of putting on the show.
Winches and chain motors are $3,200 a week.
Dressers are $20,000 a week.
And electrics and sound cost $28,000 a week.
"Hamilton" pays about $295,000 per week for the Richard Rodgers, a fee that covers rent as well as the house staff, musicians, stagehands and more.
The show's cast and crew are paid about $220,000 altogether a week. Advertising costs a relatively low $80,000 per week, thanks to all the free publicity. But things like taxes, pensions, lawyers and equipment rentals add up.
On the scale of Broadway musicals, "Hamilton," with its modest set and midsize cast, has moderate running costs. All in all, it costs about $650,000 a week to present the show on Broadway, or about $34 million a year. But it's proving to be one of the best investments in town.
An article last Sunday about the Broadway musical "Hamilton" misstated the point at which the show's performers began collectively pressing for profit-sharing. It was in August 2015, as the Broadway production was opening, not before the Off Broadway production opened.

Real Madrid have taken over from Manchester United at the top of the Deloitte Football Money League.
Champions League winners Madrid made record revenues of €750.9m (£674.6m) in 2017-18 as United slipped to third place behind Madrid's rivals Barcelona, who generated revenues of £648.3m. United made £676.3m.
Madrid's victory over Liverpool in May brought them a third successive Champions League title, while Barcelona's rise to second made it the first time two La Liga teams have occupied the top spots since 2014-15.
It is the 12th time in 22 editions of the list – which does not take club debts into account – that Madrid have ended up on top.
The top 10 includes six Premier League clubs, a new record, while the overall revenue of the top 20 clubs increased by six percent to reach a record £7.4bn.
Premier League champions Manchester City, with £503.5m, maintain a place in the top five, with Liverpool (£455.1m) seventh after their Champions League run, Chelsea (£448m) eighth and Arsenal (£389.1m) down to ninth after missing out on a place in the Champions League.
Tottenham (£379.4m) return to the top 10 for the first time in more than a decade.

Google, Facebook, Microsoft Spent Hundreds Of Millions To Advertise In 2016
by Laurie Sullivan, MediaPost
Google spent nearly $350 million to advertising its products and services in 2016 -- up from $232 million in 2015 and $227 million in 2014, Kantar Media reports. Investments went to display, search, mobile, online video, TV, print, and OOH.
Rival Microsoft spent $746 million in 2016, up from nearly $700 million in 2015 and $617 million in 2014.
Bing, Microsoft's search engine, spent nearly $7.8 million in Google search during 2016 -- up from $5.6 million in 2015, and nearly $3.9 million in 2014. Google buys advertising on Bing, but the numbers remain unknown.
Television also attracted both Google and Microsoft. Google spent $260 million in 2016 -- up from a mere nearly $180 million in the prior year -- whereas Microsoft spent $506 million, up from $472 million, respectively.
LinkedIn, now owned by Microsoft, invested 80% of its $2.2 million TV ad expenditure -- about $1.7 million -- to feature one ad during the Oscars, according to Kantar Media.

Mix and Chic: A fresh and elegant historic home in California!
This historic 1902 California home is transformed by designer Kendall Wilkinson for a young family. Balancing classic style with plenty of whimsy, this home feels fresh, sophisticated and elegant. Let's take a look at this beautiful residence, shall we?
How gorgeous is this home? With a combination of classic pieces and contemporary furnishings, this historic home feels modernized yet remaining true to its roots. The designer did a great job bringing flow and cohesiveness to the house by injecting a dose of purple accents from room to room. The stunning kitchen, glamorous powder room and dramatic dressing room are particularly my favorites. Which room(s) from this lovely tour catches your eye, my lovelies?
Love this home. The colors are outstanding! Even great uses of my favorites of black and gold.


It seems Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will be facing off as the Presidential nominees for each party. Its time to decide between a corporate owned establishment legacy candidate in Hillary Clinton or the big mouthed, bigoted billionaire in Trump that allegedly bought her in 2005 to go to his wedding according to his claims. If we this is correct then crazy ole Trump wins whether or not he becomes POTUS. If he wins the Presidency, well, he wins. If he loses, he STILL wins, because all he has to do to get the President to do his bidding is offer her more money again according to how he claims Hillary works. Remember, as with most foul deals, the devil is in the details.
Three school shootings in a week (2 of them were in the same day) and one of them was a mass shooting. So far, this year there have been 294 mass shootings in the U.S. according to the Washington Post. Yet, guns don't kill people, abortions do, so let's make them harder for women to get. Guns are an American right so lets not limit access to them but education and healthcare aren't, so we should limit access to both of those things as much as possible. The argument isn't to ban guns, but to at least address the issue in order to address the inefficient laws already on the books. My gut feeling is that if gays, immigrants and women were lobbying to have more access to guns there would already be a law banning them.
Maybe we could employ some sort of qualifications in order to buy a gun, like being 18 for tobacco or 21 for alcohol. How about if a guy is an anti social, sexually frustrated white male they should NOT be allowed to buy a gun, for starters anyway.

Lalo Alcaraz is contributing to a new show on Fox... and it's hilarious.
This January the Fox network is going to shake-up their Sunday evening comedy by including a Latino animated series produced by Seth McFarlane. Before you start to worry about it being another "A Million ways to Die in the West" or just Mexican Family Guy, know that McFarlane is not involved in contributing to the show. That honor goes to none other than Mexican-American superstar cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz and the very popular Mexican-American columnist Gustavo Arellano of "Ask a Mexican" fame. The animated series which airs after Family Guy will be titled "Bordertown" and stars an all Mexican American cast of characters and voice actors as well as writers and takes place in the fictional town of Mexifornia. I was fortunate enough to see a preview of the pilot and another episode yesterday hosted by Lalo Alcaraz at the Tucson YWCA. Right out of the gate the show was hilarious. It was also incredibly smart and well written. The show revolves around a Mexican immigrant landscaper by the name of Ernesto (voiced by Nicholas Gonzalez) that is neighbors with a very Archie Bunkeresque border patrol agent by the name of Bud (voiced by Hank Azaria). The comedy is all border issue related and man is it spot on. From the interior of Ernesto's house to the cameo of the Virgen of Guadalupe, yes, the Virgen of Guadalupe makes an appearance. Now it has not eluded me that this show about Mexican American immigrants is on the Fox Network which owns Fox News and is a huge promoter of anti-immigrant sentiment, but to be fair, keep in mind that this network also brought you the Simpsons, Family Guy and Cosmos. Furthermore, a show like this could only air on Fox, there's no way any other networks would take the risk of airing such a groundbreaking and funny series. Never before has there been an animated show that stars Mexican American voice actors dealing with Chicano issues with a prominent political cartoonist such as Alcaraz as a show contributor. Check out the following trailer which, after seeing two full episodes does not do the show justice.

MOVIES | IN THEATERS NOW
3-D CINEMA MAKING A COMEBACK
Ali Naderzad January 31, 2008
(BY SAÏDEH PAKRAVAN) It's hard to believe that in the early fifties 3-D movies were considered, briefly, the wave of the future. Audiences dutifully wore the dark plastic glasses that gave three dimensions to the images on the screen and sat through now-classics such as Vincent Price in House of Wax (1953; which boasted another first, stereo sound outside Cinerama, another format that remained the rage for a couple of decades). The string of both short and feature films knew some measure of success but interest in 3-D—the actual word is stereoscopic—gradually waned, mainly because of the technical difficulties of simultaneous projection from two projectors not always in sync. The genre has never really disappeared but only aficionados seemed to care. A more popular revival occurred in the 70s, with an improved technique called stereovision that allowed the use of a single strip but 3-D still became limited almost exclusively to nature films in Imax format. The last few years have seen renewed interest in the format. Steven Spielberg is reportedly working on developing a process that would allow to view 3-D without the awkward special glasses. There were 3-D sequences in one of the Harry Potters, and older 3-D movies are making a comeback. The Apple video iPod offers 3-D possibilities. Now, Belgian filmmaker Ben Stassen has produced Fly Me To The Moon, a story of three flies (animated), clandestinely embarked on the Apollo 11 mission that achieved the first manned moon landing in 1969. Stassen has been interested in 3-D for some years now and his 1999 Encounter in the Thrid Dimension (misspelling intentional) was actually a history of the genre. Depending on the success of Fly Me To the Moon which starts in Europe next month, the film may find distribution in this country as well. Stateside, Disney-Pixar plans on releasing a 3-D version of Toy Story and Toy Story 2. An expected 4,000 3-D digital screens are expected to be in operation by mid-2009.

Good girls like bad boys; when a woman is brainwashed and faces jail time
by Dave Bishop
Photo Credit: Dave Bishop
Prison B.R.E.A.K. is an acronym for Building Relationships Empowerment and Knowledge
I was sitting at one of my usual spots enjoying a Red Bull and doing some research on my iPhone. Not too far from me sat a young lady. She reminded me of one of my daughters, but she had a look of defeat on her face. Something in my spirit said, "Ask what's wrong, Dave." So I did. She was hesitant at first so I gave her time. After about 10 seconds of silence, she started to tell me her story.
"I loved the thrill," she said. She trembled silently. I didn't intervene because I could see she needed someone to listen and I was happy to be that ear.
She told me she was 21 years old, but after the year she had she felt a lot older and a lot wiser. She was 18 when she met Nick in the hallways at Gwinnett College during open house. Nick was a local hot boy that found her attractive and made it known early that he wanted to make her his main girl. Being sheltered her entire life, she was intrigued by the shiny things he acquired and the lifestyle she assumed he lived. She had never had a pet name, but he called her "La La," which was short for her government name, Latasha.
Latasha graduated from high school with honors and scholarships to different schools all over the country. Having had her eye on going to school out of state all her life, her family was very surprised to learn that she would take the offer and enroll at a local college, Gwinnett College. Little did they know, but she didn't want to leave Nick's side. Moving away meant breaking up with her "thrill" and she couldn't have that.
Life wasn't the same with her new found freedom living on campus. She often skipped class and spent most of her time shopping, partying and drinking with her new love. Being around drugs, guns and quick licks became natural to her and everyone around her saw the change. This put a strain on her relationships with family and friends. Latasha didn't care. As long as her man trusted and loved her, that was all that mattered.
One evening after leaving a club, Latasha and Nick were pulled over. A young, Black man riding in an BMW was always a red flag for police and made Nick a target often. Only this time, Latasha was in the car and he was on probation. "He asked me did I love him. I replied of course," Latasha stated not knowing the question that would come next. Calvin pulled a handgun off his waist and placed it on her lap. "Hide that in your purse!" he shouted. Latasha didn't think twice and placed the gun in her Gucci bag and sat it on the floor between her legs. They had been pulled over plenty of times and they were never searched, so why would this be any different?
Unfortunately, this time was different. Nick's license was suspended. Not only was the car searched but the gun was found and Nick convinced her it would be better to say it was her gun because she had a clean record. At first, it felt like a slap on the wrist. No jail time, only community service and two years' probation. But as time passed, Latasha's misfortune caught up to her and that slap on the wrist turned into a continuous headache.
Although being snapped back into reality helped motivate Latasha to get serious about school and finish, life was never the same. Her parents held her at a distance due to the debt they found themselves in from lawyer fees and paying for Latasha's tuition bills. Nick decided to change his number and get ghost, leaving her empty and with trust issues almost impossible to get over. Now she sat next to me sad and discouraged after being turned down by the fifth job in two weeks due to her background.
This narrative is far too familiar today. Some women (and men) are chasing a "thrill" to fill voids in their lives, which only leads to more despair. A constant lesson I try to teach my daughters and young women around me is to love themselves and to know their worth. What Latasha had for Nick was not love, but a trick often put on the heart when the mind is not strong enough to tell the difference. I was blessed to hear this young woman's story and I knew it was told to me to share with a larger audience.
Latasha didn't get any jail time, but this story makes me think of all the beautiful women sitting in prison because they were brainwashed by a man who said he loved her. Some women are sitting in jail for crimes they didn't even commit, resulting in lives ruined, mothers taken from their children and dreams abandoned. Latasha's shot at a second chance is not everyone's reality and I can only imagine the feeling of betrayal and disappointment the ladies feel. You can only pray that lessons learned turn to stories told that can lead to wiser choices in life.
Curve balls will be thrown our way throughout life and the decisions we make will alter our future. No matter what you have been through, do not let it define you, even if the battle seems too hard to bear. The lessons this young lady learned will hopefully help the next person and can be a reminder of what not thinking for yourself can lead to. Be careful of what you allow into your life, because like the old saying goes, "Everything that glitters ain't gold."

Q: Is initialization of a static value with an inline function an initialization with a constant expression? A constexpr function is a constant expression. Is an inline function considered a constant expression during initialization of a static value?
constexpr int constexpr_add_one(int x) { return x + 1; } // implies inline
inline int inline_add_one(int x) { return x + 1; }

static const int constexpr_value = constexpr_add_one(0xaaaa0000);
static const int inline_value = inline_add_one(0xbbbb0000);

// Aside:
// static constexpr int another_constexpr_value = constexpr_add_one(0xcccc0000);
// error: call to non-constexpr function 'int inline_add_one(int)'
// static constexpr int another_inline_value = inline_add_one(0xdddd0000);

volatile int value;

int main() {
    value = constexpr_value;
    value = inline_value;
}

Does the C++ Standard provide a definition of 'constant expression' (which night be no 'constexpr')?
I use g++ 4.8.4

A: Rules for static values initialization are speaking only about constexpr not inline functions.
constexpr implies inline but inline doesn't imply constexpr. Just pick any of rules for function to be constexpr below and let your function break it. Such function could still be made inline though.
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/constexpr

A constexpr specifier used in a function declaration implies inline.
A constexpr function must satisfy the following requirements:

*

*it must not be virtual

*its return type must be LiteralType

*each of its parameters must be LiteralType

*there exists at least one argument value such that an invocation of the function could be an evaluated subexpression of a core constant
  expression (for constexpr function templates, at least one
  specialization must satisfy this requirement , for constructors, use
  in a constant initializer is sufficient) (since C++14))

*the function body must be either deleted or defaulted or contain only the following:

*

*null statements

*static_assert declarations

*typedef declarations and alias declarations that do not define classes or enumerations

*using declarations

*using directives

*exactly one return statement. (until C++14)

*the function body must be either deleted or defaulted or contain any statements except:

*

*an asm declaration

*a goto statement

*a statement with a label other than case and default

*a try-block

*a definition of a variable of non-literal type

*a definition of a variable of static or thread storage duration

*a definition of a variable for which no initialization is performed.

*if the function is a defaulted copy/move assignment, the class of which it is a member must not have a mutable variant member You can
  make functions that are definitely non-constexpr in any sensible way
  inline.

E. g.
parameter not literal
inline void f1(const std::string&) { }

a definition of a variable of non-literal type
inline void f1() { std::string a; }

a try-block
inline void f1() { try { int a = 0; } catch(...) {} }

EDIT:
Standard does define "constant expression". Definition is rather long. Maybe you could check it here:
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/constant_expression

Star Track Fasteners Pvt. Ltd. presents in association with M/s RAWIE - GmbH, the latest techniques for Track End Closure Systems i.e. Buffer Stops for Railways & MRTS applications.
Job Description - Sliding Buffer Stops: Through the mass of the train and the velocity generated kinetic energy will go into effect via the inerface of the train ( side buffer and / or central coupler and / or anticlimbers) into the buffer stop frame. During the movement of the friction buffer stop on the running rails, the friction elements translate the kinetic energy into heat. The length of the sliding distance depends on the quantity of the inserting friction elements. Over 45000 buffer stops of different types and energy absorption capacities are in service world wide including the more recent MRTS and Metro Railways.
Rawie has developed and supplied buffer stops to suit all requirements from full train load of 7500 tons weight at 10 kmph to units weighing at 120 tons at 65 kmph. Rawie has also developed special buffer stops for use in Railways, Tramways, Light Rails, MRTS & Metro Railways.
To secure passengers in the train.
To secure persons behind the track end.
To secure objects at & behind the end of the track.
To limit damages to the trains.
To avoid derailment of the trains.
To show the end of the track.
To arrest the train up to a defined crosspoint.
Calculability of arresting of the trains, therefore calculable operating conditions.
Calculability of security of arresting of the trains, therefore also calculable special operating conditions.
Calculability of the acting forces within the track end systems.
Buffer stops are designed to make it more resistant to corrosion to perform trouble free in high humidity, monsoon seasons and aggresive industrial atmospheres.
The company is able to provide static structure analysis of buffer stop, by an independent company to certify that the buffer stop body can absorb the impact without the deformation when train hit the buffer stop.
The company have a test ring where the function of the friction elements, the most important factor to guarantee the performance of the Buffer stops are constantly being tested.

Jean de La Brosse, mort en  1567 ou 1569, est un prélat français  du  .

Biographie
Jean de La Brosse est abbé de Fontenay et est nommé archevêque de Vienne en 1561. Pendant son  gouvernement l'archevêché a beaucoup à souffrir des hugenots. Lors des guerres de religion, la ville est plusieurs fois conquise. En 1562, la ville est prise par le baron des Adrets. Ses troupes saccagent plusieurs églises, dont la cathédrale. Une partie des trésors ecclésiastiques est fondue. Dès le début de la deuxième guerre de religion, en 1567, la ville est prise par Paulon de Mauvans et le cardinal-archevêque d'Aix, Saint-Chamond, qui s'est converti au protestantisme.

Despite the fact that consumer electronics companies are embroiled in a fiercely competitive, price-driven market, new wearable high tech devices and mobile electronics are booming and lucrative.
According to a recent survey by Enterprise Mobility, 72% of IT decision-maker respondents plan to spend more than 20% of their 2014 budget on enterprise mobility solutions and products. And 20% - 30% of enterprises plan to integrate their existing applications to other devices—like wearable computing.
Check out Intel's "make it wearable" incubator program.
Interest in sporting these devices for consumers on the move is spearheaded by behemoths, such as Google and Sony. However, the market is also hot with other innovative product companies, such as Fitbit, Misfit Wearables and Jawbone.
Points to Ponder: More traditional clothing companies will be designing wearables with embedded technology by partnering with high tech supply chains and software development companies. It's only a matter of time before we begin thinking of part and component manufacturers as couture brands. Just look at Lady Gaga's flying dress.
Forrester forecasts that the global market for cloud computing will grow from $40 billion to more than $241 billion in the next ten years. Characterized as cost-effective, flexible and secure, cloud applications can deliver opportunity cost savings that even dwarf the financial Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model.
For example, when a business pays a large upfront cost for a software solution, it no longer has that cash available to grow the core business. A core business that routinely could be making them margins some multiple in excess of what those now encumbered funds earn. An on-premise software solution that costs $250,000 plus 22% for maintenance equates to a $305,000 expense for the first year — and $55,000 each year thereafter. Compare that with a SaaS solution that costs just $70,000/year for the same number of users.
The SaaS option saves you $235,000 the first year of ownership. Boom. That found money can now be spent on engineers who will bring in $1,000,000 of additional revenue to your company. In this scenario, the opportunity cost of on-premise is $930,000—just for the first year. And the cost just keeps getting bigger every year thereafter.
Points to Ponder: More companies are evaluating on-premise software's total cost of ownership, taking into consideration the full infrastructure, network, software license, support and upgrades, when choosing between on-premise and SaaS. Even more importantly, companies are recognizing opportunity costs—not cost savings—as an even more important business driver.
According to a recent World Batteries Market Report, world demand for primary and secondary batteries is collectively forecast to rise 8.5% per year to $144 billion in 2016. China is predicted to remain the largest national market for batteries and will also be the fastest growing market, bolstered by an enormous electronics manufacturing segment as well as expanding output and motor vehicle use.
The report forecasts that sales to consumer markets will post the fastest gains through 2016. Rising incomes in developing nations will drive greater use of basic battery powered devices, while expanding use of portable electronics will fuel demand from the consumer market worldwide.
There's no doubt the disruptive future of batteries, such as the lithium-ion, which—while small in size—will play a big role in unlocking the future of product design and development for everyone from OEMs to component manufacturers.
Because of this disruptive change, innovative companies require not only continued discipline and foresight, but also product design solutions that enable them to rapidly embrace change and shift product directions quickly to stay competitive.
Points to Ponder: Companies without the vision and tools to respond to disruptive change swiftly could lose in this competitive high tech market. Click here to learn more.

On October 15, 2016, I began a 365 Project. That is, I committed to making and posting one photo per day for a year.
I created this blog to share my pictures and my progress during that year – a tool to motivate me to keep learning. Nothing spurs me on like a) a deadline and b) accountability to someone other than myself!
I'm proud to say that I didn't miss a day of posting.
To wrap up my year, I chose three of my favourite photos from each month. To view all the photos, click on the links at the end of this page.


Benefits - Rhoziva - Rhodiola rosea - Pure. Potent. Powerful.
Do you suffer from low energy or memory lapses? Do you often feel moody?
Rhodiola rosea has been found to stimulate the neurotransmitters responsible for creating feelings of well-being as well as offering significant relief for low energy conditions like asthenia. The reason that Rhodiola rosea is effective at combating moodiness is due to the fact that it increases levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine, all of which create "good feelings" in the brain.
The effects of Rhodiola rosea on athletic performance and the speed and ease of recovery was studied extensively and verified by well over 100 studies throughout the sixties and seventies in Russia, Bulgaria and Scandinavian countries on a variety of subjects from lab animals to Olympic athletes, including biathlon and triathlon athletes and a variety of activities that are characterized by great strain and oxygen deprivation.
