SolarWinds Tops List Of America's Best Small Companies
The U.S. economy is plodding along in its recovery from the recession that stretched from December 2007 to June 2009. The annual GDP growth rate has been a pitiful 0.5% on average during the past five years, but it is not all bleak. There are companies from aerospace to health care to steel that are booming. Forbes' annual ranking of America's Best Small Companies highlights those companies that have experienced strong growth over the past five years.
Topping this year's list is the software outfit SolarWinds. The Austin, Texas-based company is one of eight software firms that made the final cut. Internet data traffic is expected to triple over the next five years, according to Cisco Systems. Despite its green energy name, SolarWinds is in the middle of the trend. Led by CEO Kevin Thompson, the company offers IT departments affordable software to monitor networks and servers.
Aiming for 80% of the functionality of rival offerings from IBM and Hewlett-Packard, the company sells its wares for one-tenth as much. Such savings have fueled annual sales growth of 38% since 2006. Donald C. Yonce, a partner at Mobility Ventures and a former Wal-Mart executive, co-founded the company in 1999 and served on the board until 2010. His 15% stake is worth $640 million, thanks to a 140% jump in the stock over the past year.
The Forbes list highlights public companies with sales under $1 billion, which are ranked based on return on equity, sales growth and earnings growth over the past year and the past five years. Forbes also factored in stock performance versus each company's peer group during the last 12 months.

Whole Body Vibration: Fitness Fad or Actually Effective?
You've probably seen it already, one of the stranger trends in modern fitness - whole body vibration. This type of training is performed by using both static and dynamic resistance training exercises on a ground-based platform. Some entrepreneurial trainers in Los Angeles even have group classes for such things. In order to determine its worth, a recent study investigated if whole body vibration exposure (at 50 Hz, 2.51 mm) had any performance enhancing effects post-exercise.
It was concluded that the positive effect on triceps performance caused by whole body vibration is only achieved when the stimulus is applied during exercise. It is worth noting that whole body vibration applied 60 seconds prior to upper body exercise results in no added benefit. Just as in prior studies, the results of this study were similar in the fact that whole body vibration training was shown to actually enhance performance.
What do you think? Do you see any use for this sort of training in your programming, or is it just a fitness fad?

When it comes to correlation capabilities, LogRhythm has you covered. With AI Engine you can perform a variety of activities, from observing a single activity to applying advanced behavior rules across multiple dimensions (entities, devices, log sources, metadata, etc.).
In addition to some of the more obvious capabilities, Chris Martin of LogRhythm is here to tell you about one not so know feature of AI Engine called Temporal Chain Normalization (TCN). He investigates the TCN a bit to understand just what it is (other than sounding extremely cool).
The best way to explain TCN is an example. Take a simple correlation activity: If we see Event A followed by Event B, then we generate an alert.
Note: The normalized timestamps (in green) are extracted from the Log Message itself. They do not rely on collection time.
You're not going to be surprised to hear this, but unfortunately, computers, users, and even the internet aren't always 100 percent consistent or reliable. Network latency, system downtime, Hawking radiation, and other anomalies can impact the collection speed of audit and log data.
Imagine you have a correlation rule looking for an attack (Event A) followed by a compromise (Event B). But when an attack actually occurs, the logs are received out of order because of a network outage. What happens then? Nothing happens. No alarms fire and that's a problem.
As you can see below the collection timestamp (in red) shows that Event B was received after Event A; therefore, no alert was generated.
Organizations should not assume that all data generated within their environment is assigned an accurate timestamp relative to the variety of data sources and logging mechanisms across the IT environment. Disparate timestamps can result in data being evaluated out of order, which impairs real-time event recognition and response. There are many reasons log and machine data collected for analysis may be attributed to a different time than when the event actually occurred!
Unless you have a security information and event management (SIEM) platform with the ability to normalize and reorder out of sequence log messages, you are going to miss important alerts.
The good news? The LogRhythm Security Intelligence Platform can do just that with TCN.
Let's start off with something simple. Here's an AI Engine rule that looks for Event A followed by Event B. For simplicity, I've generated two unique Windows Events and expect to see Event ID 4321 followed by Event ID 4322.
Note: As this is a demonstration rule, it only groups on the Known Host for Rule Block 1 (as I'll be generating Event A and Event B from two different hosts).
As expected, here's the resultant alarm firing when Event A and Event B were generated and collected in the proper order.
Next, I ran the same test again. But this time I stopped the LogRhythm Collector running on Host 3, then proceed to generate Event A (on Host 3) and then Event B (on Host 4), then waited a minute to start the Collector on Host 3 again. This caused the collected order of logs to effectively be Event B followed by Event A, rather than Event A followed by Event B.
Note the time it fired is 11:19:20 (EST).
Did it surprise you to find out that the alarm fired even though the events were collected out of order? This is all due to LogRhythm's time normalization capabilities.
After a minute or so, the following alarm is generated.
Yet again we've successfully detected the brute force attack, even though the log messages were collected out of sync.
For organizations with a network that spans across multiple time zones, TCN is a basic and must have feature. With TCN, all logs are stored in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) allowing for accurate event correlation and prioritization.
If you want to learn more about the Temporal Chain Normalization, and what LogRhythm has to offer; great news, we are SIEM experts!

Full statement from South Western Railway
We have been informed that there is a Network Rail track circuit failure in the Ash Vale area. This means that trains between Ash Vale and Woking are not able to run between these stations.
Network Rail, who own and maintain the railway infrastructure, have been advised of this issue and their engineers are en-route to rectify the problem with the track circuit.
A track circuit is part of the signalling system. It shows the location of trains on the network, allowing the system to know whether a section of track is occupied by a train or whether it is clear. When there is a failure trains will stop before the affected signal(s) and will have to be verbally directed through the affected area by the signaller.
When being talked through the section by the signaller trains will run at a reduced speed. The process of trains being verbally directed through affected signals can add an additional 10 minutes per signal to the journey time.
SWR confirm all services held
*NEW 16/04* Due to a @NetworkRail track circuit failure at Ash Vale all Woking-bound lines are blocked. Train services running through this station may be cancelled, delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 19:00 - https://t.co/imkvCCexC2

Fire chief, HR director are on audit duty
Study follows reports of staff shortage in department
Fire chief, HR director are on audit duty Study follows reports of staff shortage in department Check out this story on sheboyganpress.com: http://shebpr.es/2oaJ0dP
McLean Bennett, USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin Published 12:50 p.m. CT April 7, 2017 | Updated 12:58 p.m. CT April 7, 2017
A City of Sheboygan fire department ambulance is parked outside Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center Monday June 25, 2012 in Sheboygan. The department transported a woman who was injured at Gus Holman Company, A Division of Sadoff & Rudoy Industries, LLP, when she was pinned between a vehicle and a concrete wall, according to scanner reports.

SHEBOYGAN - The Common Council has agreed to task Fire Chief Mike Romas and the city's human resources director with an audit of the fire department's varied job descriptions.
They'll have six weeks to finish the job — longer than the two-week timeline they had expected to get — but several council members have already questioned the audit's value. A few have suggested it may simply be a precursor to a far more expansive study of the department.
The work follows on the heels of an impasse in talks between the fire department's management and firefighters union about how best to address a reported staffing shortage.
That shortage has been well documented. The department regularly sends out trucks and engines with too few firefighters, a problem department personnel have said can lead to delays in getting enough responders to emergency scenes. And Romas has said his lineup of chief-level managers has gotten stretched too thin and could use more help.
Department leaders have suggested adding an additional battalion chief — possibly the department's fifth person at that rank — and six more firefighters over the coming years. The union has agreed the city should hire more firefighters, but has said it can get around adding another battalion chief by delegating more administrative tasks to lower-level staff.
So far, management and the union haven't agreed on the right solution to the staffing problem, prompting the city to try intervening. Last month several council members introduced a resolution calling on City Administrator Darrell Hofland, one of Sheboygan's top administrative officials, to undertake a study of the department's staffing shortage. But a committee later agreed to recommend passing off that job to Chief Romas and Sandy Rohrick, the city's human resources and labor relations director.
The committee had originally recommended giving those officials two weeks to finish up the study and report on the department's job descriptions. But when elected leaders on Wednesday agreed to formally task Romas and Rohrick with the study, they expanded the timeline to about a month and a half.
"This is going to be a big job, a cumbersome job, and I can just imagine going through all those job descriptions," Alderman Jim Bohren said during deliberations on the matter Wednesday.
Some have said a close examination of existing workers' duties might help the department ferret out job overlaps, or could help the department flag inefficiencies that haven't been identified yet. Besides looking for those overlaps and inefficiencies, the city is also asking Romas and Rohrick to come back with ways to correct the problems.
Still, several council members have said they wonder how much useful information the city will eventually glean from the audit's findings. And they've suggested the city might eventually have to reconsider a move the council earlier this year already rejected: hiring an out-of-state consultant to undertake a months-long study of the department.
"This is a good idea. It's a start," Alderman Joe Heidemann said of the brief jobs audit the council has approved. But, he added, "I hope it goes much farther."
Heidemann acknowledged during Wednesday deliberations he won't be around to continue ongoing discussions about the fire department — he lost a reelection bid earlier in the week to keep his eighth-district seat on the council. But he said the council would likely need more information about the department's staffing troubles than the audit will give.
"Quite honestly, I think as a body, you're not going to be satisfied with everything that comes back there," he told the council. "I give all credit to the H.R. director to get this done. You're not going to get what you really want from this study."
Council President Mary Lynne Donohue, who pressed for the extended six-week deadline but has also expressed skepticism about the project, likewise said Wednesday the city could eventually "need to do something a bit more extensive."
The council earlier this year mulled spending nearly $60,000 to hire Missouri-based Fitch & Associates, a consulting firm with background in examining fire and EMS services, to analyze Sheboygan's own fire operations. But the Common Council several months ago agreed not to hire the firm, in part over concerns about the study's price tag. It has instead looked for other, less costly ways to study and address department needs.

U.S. Army COVID-19 Vaccination Rate Nears 98%
December 16, 2021 todi0
THURSDAY, Dec. 16, 2021 — Nearly 98% of the U.S. Army's active duty force had received at least one coronavirus vaccine dose as of Wednesday's deadline for mandatory vaccination, officials said Thursday.
However, more than 3,800 soldiers have refused to get a shot and could start being discharged from the military next month, according to an Army statement.
The Army is the U.S. military's largest service, but has a lower number of members seeking a religious exemption (1,700) than the Air Force (4,700), Marine Corps (3,000) or the Navy (2,700). None of those requests have been approved.
The Army's 97.9% rate of at least one shot among its more than 478,000 active duty members places it second behind the Navy's rate of more than 98%, but ahead of the Air Force (97%) and the Marine Corps (95%), the Associated Press reported.
The Pentagon said earlier this year that COVID-19 vaccination was mandatory for all service members, including the National Guard and Reserve, and is considering making booster shots mandatory.
Vaccination of service members is critical to maintaining a healthy, ready force prepared to defend the nation, according to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, the AP reported.
"Vaccinating our soldiers against COVID-19 is first and foremost about Army readiness," Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said in the Army statement. "To those who continue to refuse the vaccine and are not pending a final decision on a medical or administrative exemption, I strongly encourage you to get the vaccine. If not, we will begin involuntary separation proceedings."
More than 2,700 soldiers who refused the vaccine have already been given written reprimands, Army data show, and six soldiers have been fired from leadership positions. The Army has said that soldiers who refuse the vaccine should not be in leadership positions, the AP reported.
The Air Force said it has discharged 27 members for not getting the vaccine. The airmen were formally discharged for failure to obey an order. It is possible that some had other infractions on their records, but all had the vaccine refusal as one of the elements of their discharge, the AP said.
Members of the U.S. military must already get as many as 17 vaccines, depending on where they are deployed. The requirements — which include shots for smallpox, hepatitis, polio and the flu — also provide for a number of temporary and permanent exemptions for either medical or administrative reasons, the AP reported.

Netanyahu, Rivlin praise security services for tracking down Tel Aviv shooter
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israeli leaders praised the county's security services for their work in tracking down the gunman who allegedly killed three Israelis more than a week ago in Tel Aviv.
"On behalf of all citizens of Israel, I would like to thank the Israel Police, ISA, and the police special anti-terrorism unit – they did their work professionally, methodically, day and night; they focused on the mission and they achieved it," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement released Saturday night.
The accused gunman, Nashat Melhem, was killed late Friday afternoon in a shootout with police near his home in the Umm al-Fahm area of northern Israel. Melhem opened fire on Israeli forces with the machine gun he allegedly used in the Tel Aviv attack on Jan. 1.
Police said Melhem, 31, killed two young men when he shot up a bar in central Tel Aviv and then murdered a taxi driver who transported him from the scene of the crime. Six others were wounded.
Melhem had been the target of a massive manhunt in Tel Aviv, which then shifted to Israel's North.
"All those who would murder Israelis should know that sooner or later we will find them, inside and outside the borders of the State of Israel," Netanyahu said. "No one is immune. We will find the murderers and their accomplices."
Also Saturday night, Israel's president, Reuven Rivlin, expressed his support for the country's security services "who worked night and day over the last week — even more so than usual."
"We will not bow our heads in the face of the depraved terror we are facing in this difficult period," Rivlin said in the statement. "We will continue to choose life, even when in pain, even when the price we pay is heavy and so very difficult."
On Sunday, Melhem's father and brother were released to house arrest. They were being held by police as accomplices in the attacks. Mohammed Melhem identified his son as the shooter in the bar attack hours after it took place based on security camera footage that was made public.
Residents of Melhem's hometown told Israeli media that his family had known that he was hiding in an abandoned home owned by the family since the shooting and that he had been receiving food and other assistance from local residents.
Melhem is scheduled to be buried in a small private ceremony on Sunday.

Followers of this blog or our Facebook page know that we occasionally post photos showing protestors and the dangerous, intimidating situations they create. When escorts take photos, it's for documentation. When anti-choice protestors take photos, it's in order to harass escorts and clients.
June 17 was the day before Father's Day, which is typically a very heavy day for protestors. This day brought about 90 protestors to the clinic from various organizations. Early in the morning, I observed the son of a protesting couple playing with a camera. The parents are part of a group that brings multiple cameras, 4'x 2' graphic signs, and loudspeakers. Their son appears to be around 6 years old and could now harass and intimidate clients with his own camera.
I wouldn't post that photo without hiding that child's face. Along with her brother, she's a minor being used by her parents as just another tool to harass clients. Unlike a sign or loudspeaker, though, she'll grow up and embrace or reject her parents' specific, twisted doctrine. Today, I make the decent choice not to show her face here. I wish her parents had the decency not to use her on the sidewalk.

Ireland not maximising wind and marine energy potential
25 Mar 2011118 Views
Ireland is being left behind in the development of offshore wind and marine generation, said Gregor Alexander, finance director of renewable energy company Airtricity.
Airtricity is an international wind farm developer which was founded in 1997 in the Republic of Ireland, and is owned by Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE).
Addressing more than 400 delegates at the annual conference of the Irish Wind Energy Association at the Four Seasons Hotel, Dublin, Alexander said Ireland was not maximising its potential in the development of offshore wind and marine generation.
"Returns on our Irish onshore wind farms are marginal. More attractive returns are available in the UK. Of even more concern is that Ireland is being left behind in the development of offshore wind and marine generation. These technologies offer considerable export and job opportunities but Ireland is not maximising them," he said.
Alexander believes that in order to optimise the renewable energy sector in Ireland, we must widen the interconnection plans to include not only the UK, but France, as well.
"As a very small market in European terms, Ireland, at a minimum, needs profound interconnection and market coupling with the UK. Coupling would bring economies of scale, a more diverse generation portfolio, the opportunity to export renewable electricity and ensure customers benefit from increased competitive energy supply.
"We would also encourage Ireland to go further, seeking interconnection further afield. In Scotland, for example, we are looking to Norway and Iceland to tap into hydro and geothermal resources respectfully.
"An interconnector from Ireland to France would not only access French power in winter but it would provide an export opportunity in summer for Ireland's generation fleet to supply France's air-conditioning load," he said.
How to approach planning issues
Alexander also said a more realistic approach to planning issues is needed in Ireland to bring an end to the ongoing conflict between Irish energy and planning.
"There continues to be a significant dichotomy between energy and planning policy. If Ireland is to deliver 2020 renewable targets and decarbonise our energy portfolio, policy makers must ensure alignment between planning, climate and energy policy. After all, the purpose of decarbonising through renewables is to avoid the impacts of long-term climate change and ensure the sustainability of existing habitats," he said.
Alexander said SSE Renewables, for example, was recently denied planning permission on the basis of "the negligible probability" that the proposed wind farm could pollute a water body that was located 25km away, regardless of having recently completed a wind farm close to a water body.
"We understand the pressures on local government officials from EU and national environment legislation, regulation and direction. It is for this very reason that we need political leadership and close working partnerships, with pragmatic focused actions, between the Department of Environment, the Department of Energy and also local government and to avoid basic conflicts like that which arose in this planning issue," Alexander concluded.

Q: Doorkeeper - limit grant types on specific endpoint I have a grape API that provides some endpoints, and doorkeeper to handle authorization. By default, doorkeeper enable authorization code grant as well as client credentials grant. So I can request an access token only with those two grants.
I wonder if there is a way in doorkeeper to limit or at least get the grant type used to request a provided access token?
For example, if someone request a token with the authorization code grant, when he is requesting a resource on the API, I want to know that he used the authorization code grant to get his token. I can then check for every request made if the given token is made from an authorization code grant or not and provide the resource or not.
I know there is application's scopes to handle specific authorization, but I wanted to know if there is a solution to this problem. This might not be a legit problem, I might be missing something from the OAuth specification, so all comments are welcome!

A: Access tokens issued by Client Credentials flow are not associated with any resource owner. So, in your use case, you can tell whether an access token has been issued by Authorization Code flow or Client Credentials flow by checking whether the access token is associated with a resource owner or not.

Steam boilers are used for refining, bleaching, deacidification, deodorization, fractionation and other processes in the palm oil production. PT.Mikie Oleo Nabati is an Indonesian company established in 2001. The company's main activity is to process CPO into various products like PFAD, RBD Palm Oil, RBD Stearine, RBD Olein (Cooking Oil) & Margarine. Steam boilers play an important role in their production. The original biomass-fired boilers used by them easily have the problems of scaling, abrasion, burning front arch and feeding hopper, which affect their production lines seriously. The biomass-fired boilers made by ZOZEN can perfectly resolve the problems mentioned above. Therefore, PT.Mikie Oleo Nabati has planned to order several sets of ZOZEN's quality biomass-fired boilers. Taking the fact that palm shell is used as the fuel by this refinery into consideration, ZOZEN's professional engineer has made an optimization design for length and width of feeding hopper, rotary speed of gearbox, 1st and 2nd air ratio, etc., to guarantee the sufficient combustion and improve the thermal efficiency. The thermal efficiency of ZOZEN's biomass-fired boilers can reach above 88%.
We are really satisfied with the performance of ZOZEN's biomass-fired boilers. ZOZEN solves the original biomass-fired boilers' problems of coking and damaging of furnace door. Biomass-fired boilers provided by ZOZEN also feature strong output, high efficiency and stable running.

Harmony Samuels Talks Working With JoJo, Fifth Harmony, Ciara, Nathan Sykes and the Future of Music: Interview
Bradley Stern
BOE Global
The only thing better than shuffling through your fave's back catalog? The promise of what's still to come. And thanks to Harmony Samuels, there's plenty to look forward to in the very near future from some our most beloved pop acts.
The GRAMMY-nominated, England-bred songwriter/producer has worked with plenty of powerhouse acts in the past — from Jennifer Lopez to Ne-Yo to Brandy to Fantasia (among many others) — and is responsible for crafting smashes like Ariana Grande's Top 10 2013 hit "The Way" and Ciara's emotional Jackie ballad, "I Bet."
We spoke with Harmony about his many upcoming projects on deck, including JoJo's nearly decade-in-the-making major label return, Fifth Harmony's Hotel Transylvania 2 soundtrack jam ("I'm In Love With A Monster") and former The Wanted member Nathan Sykes' upcoming solo pop endeavor, as well as hitting the studio with Ciara, drawing inspiration from the underground music scene and providing a helping hand to producers and artists on the rise.
PopCrush: One of the projects you worked on that we're most excited right now, of course, is JoJo.
Harmony Samuels: We wrote a bunch of songs. I couldn't tell you which ones made [the album], but I will say that she definitely has a lot of great songs and she's definitely preparing herself. [Laughs]
It's been a while.
It has been a while. I think the whole world, including myself, is kind of anxious to hear her. I know she dropped her mixtape last year (#LoveJo), which was great. I'm very excited for her. She's just a great presence in the studio. She's writing from her heart — definitely about her. She's so radiant. The craziest part is every time I would record — her voice is so amazing, I'm a fan — I'd be like "Oh my god!" And she's like "I have to do it again!" and I'm like "No, no!" [Laughs] She's a perfectionist! She doesn't half something. Everything has to be a 110%. She's definitely one of the best vocalists I've ever worked with.
Any hints as to genre?
Genre? C'mon, JoJo? Just expect great songs! That's what I would say. You're going to hear them. Some of them are going to be stories. Some of them are going to be parties. It's just a lot. She's got a lot to share. It's been eight years. [Laughs]
Excited to hear it! Another project you've worked on recently is Fifth Harmony, who you've worked with in the past.
My little sisters! They're awesome.
Tell me about working on Hotel Transylvania 2's "I'm In Love With A Monster."
I had the song with me for a while. The record was for something else, actually. I had been to see LA Reid, and LA Reid had been playing ten different songs, and he came across this one and he leaped out of his seat excited about the song. He asked to cut it for the movie, and I'm like, "The movie?!" [Laughs] I didn't think of it like that! An animation? I don't know!" The song was very mature and sassy and sexy. But when we cut it with the girls, they just brought this youthfulness and energy. It just brought a whole other perspective to the song. It was awesome to see. It was kind of heaven-sent — a great alignment. Right time, right place, right song. The girls actually adored the song. They were in Miami recording it, having fun. Within a few hours, we had a very, very great song. And they all got to express themselves on the song, which I love.
There's a lot of personality in this song.
Right. [Laughs] Yeah. You know what else I love about the girls? Because they're all different, you can express different genres and different types. That's what makes them so versatile and I think what separates them from a lot of other groups. I think this is a different side that fans haven't really seen before, and I think they can explore around those sounds.
Talking about the dynamic of groups, I was thinking about The Wanted. You're working with Nathan, right?
Mr. Sykes. Yeah, man!
I was sad they broke up, but I'm excited for him. What sort of sound is he going for solo? Based on the music we've heard, it's definitely different than The Wanted.
I'm executive producing his album. We really had to sit down and understand that Nathan has a unique voice. He doesn't sound like most young people. He has kind of like a mature tone, so we had to make music that fit his voice, but we didn't want to lose his youthfulness, so we kind of gave it a soulful, British, kind of Meghan Trainor — it's own thing though, you can't relate it to one thing — but it has influences of old school and new school and R&B and soul. Big songs. I think it's a collection of different things when it comes to Nathan, because he's such a great singer. He tells some great stories. I'll tell you that. [Laughs]
Yeah, he tells some great stories on the album. Every song has some form of meaning to him.
Does he talk at all about his experience as a boybander?
He doesn't. To be honest, even when we worked with him, he never said anything bad. He misses his friends every once in a while, but I think he felt that it was time for him to do his thing. He's got a unique voice, and with a voice like that being in a group — this is just my personal opinion — but being in a group with a voice like that can be a little bit hindering. I can understand. After we worked together on the Ariana Grande album ("Almost Is Never Enough"), I kind of looked at him, like "You...might need to go solo." And when I heard he was going solo, it made sense! I wasn't surprised.
You also worked with Ciara.
I did like three or four on this album that came out (Jackie) which was awesome, and "I Bet" was the first single that she did. Working with Ciara has been an amazing experience just because I was always a fan of her from when I was younger, so to have the opportunity to be in the studio — she's always happy. I always tell everybody that — she's one of the happiest people I've ever worked with. It could be raining. It could be sunny. I've been the studio pissed off and she'd be like, "Come on, Harmony! Smile!" [Laughs] It was a great experience working on the album. She's very hands-on. She's concentrating and writing...she really poured her heart and soul into this album.
It's very much a statement. "I Bet" is personal. It got a lot of headlines, obviously.
Very. But she did it classy. That's what I loved about it. It wasn't slandering anybody and she didn't put anybody's name out there. She was just being really honest, and point blank — it is what it is. She did it classy, though. She's a classy girl. The single did very well, so I know a lot of fans were into the song. They felt like they got to see another side. Ciara has always been known to be the entertainer, and to have her come this emotional was great for a lot of the Ciara fans.
A lot of people appreciated that she was relatable, maybe for the first time in a long time.
Yeah. She doesn't put her personal business out there, but she's happy right now. She's got an amazing child and I know her and Russell [Wilson] are doing really good. I'm very happy for her, man.
I want to talk a little bit about your earliest work with acts like Alesha Dixon and JLS. Do you keep in contact with any of the British pop acts you've worked with?
Alesha Dixon! I haven't seen Alesha in a long time. JLS, unfortunately, they broke up. One of them has gone solo (Marvin), but every once in a while when I go home, I try to keep up with everybody. A lot has changed since back in the day. Another great artist, Craig David, I saw last year. We got to work a little bit. I do my best to stay in touch with the UK representation. [Laughs] It's a very different time for UK music right now.
It is! The British pop scene is kind of interesting right now compared to even ten years ago. It felt like there was more an explosion of girl groups and all of that. And now, it's definitely heavy in the DJ scene...
Yeah, and you know, we got Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith.
Vocalists, definitely.
Yeah, London is definitely about talent right now, which I love. You're in the deejay world, or you're really a singer-songwriter artist type of person. It's cool, though. It's got a great vibe. I love it over there. Being from there, it's really cool. Now I live in LA. It's weird because when I go home - it's like, I really love home. [Laughs]
How often do you get to go home?
At least twice a year, I'll go home - a lot of the time it's because of business working on different acts over there, like Nathan Sykes' project I pretty much go home as much as possible. I grew up with a lot of people in the music scene, from the executives to the artists. People like Skepta, who's rolling around with Drake right now. Chipmunk. These are people I grew up with. It's a whole bunch of us that kinda came up together. Alex Da Kid, another great producer from the UK who's over here doing very well. I somewhat call it a British invasion. [Laughs]
Yeah, it's very real. What kind of music are you listening to outside of the projects that you're working on?
A lot of music. A lot of DJ Snake and Skrillex. Love those guys. They're awesome. I've been listening to some Arctic Monkeys, experimenting with what I hear — not so much mainstream, but more the underground circuit right now. I always like to pay attention to what may be coming ahead. As much underground music as possible. As much up-and-coming music as possible. I'm always looking to what's new, what's coming and what's fresh. Back to the UK thing: we have Funky House, we have Garage, we have a bunch of Afrobeat, and all of this is being created from the ground up from the streets. You always want to pay attention to what's cool — always ahead of the curve, so that's pretty much where I'm at right now.
Along those lines, you have a project called #MentorFridays, where you pick aspiring artists and producers and mentor them.
When I was coming up in the music industry, it was very hard for people like myself to find help, or even to just find someone to talk to. So what I wanted to do is just offer a few hours of my day once a month to different people and inspire them to do better, keep their dreams up, keep their hopes up and somewhat enlighten their mind. A lot of people don't know my story or where I came from, and then, when they hear it they go "Oh, wow! Maybe I can. Maybe I have a chance to do it." That's the honest reason why I'm doing it. It's a free thing. Twenty people turn up to a private location. I play some music, show them what I'm working on, give them some creative ideas and creative criticism and let them ask questions.
That's very nice of you. How would somebody be able to participate?
If you follow me on either Instagram or Twitter or any social media outlet, once a month, I will put up something asking for singer/songwriters or producers and engineers for a Mentor Friday. The first 20 or so will get a private email with a location and an invite. That's how we did the first one, which was great, because we got almost triple the amount of people, so we couldn't invite everyone. We're thinking of making it a little bit bigger so we can have more people. We want to make it more fair for everyone else. But that's really it. It's on my social page, my website. We promote it on there. People really want to get some help. We might take it to the other cities, because I know a few people in Atlanta want it - New York City want us to come, so we're talking about that, but right now we're just doing it in LA.
You'll have to go global now. Now you've started something.
[Laughs] Yeah, we'll see how it goes. It's really a great experience. It's always a great thing to tell people about stuff that's on the horizon. I think right now, the music industry is in such a great place because it's on the verge of new artists or artists that maybe haven't had the chance to have a shot. I think it's going to be a great year.

Q: Unavailable in X OR Y vs. Unavailable in X and Y What is the difference these two statements:

*

*It is unavailable in X or Y.

*It is unavailable in X and Y.
Is 2) the same as saying:

*It is neither available in X nor Y.

Lastly, are all three statements grammatically correct?

A: It depends on context. E.G.,
The needed range is unavailable in a ballista and wooden bolt.

Here, both items are needed to propel the bolt.
Free shipping is unavailable in Alaska and Hawaii.
Free shipping is unavailable in Alaska or Hawaii.

In both those sentences, the free shipping is cannot be obtained in either place. One might prefer the first, using "and", because the statement is true of both, but the second implies "Free shipping is unavailable [if sent] in Alaska or Hawaii." One is unlikely to be sending from both at once, so "or" might be considered acceptable.


I know it's been a little while since I announced the BigShots and some people have had theirs for a month or two. I wanted to let you all know that I am still going down my list as I finish the cups. Today I reached the halfway point in my list so if you signed up for them and have not yet heard from me don't worry! It's a rather huge list and it is taking me some time to get through it all.
The really great news if that I have just finished my next installment of pieces and have resumed going through the list. I will be getting more done next week as well so it's looking like I may be able to just about get to the finish in two weeks or so.
I am still planning to do some general release sales when I have completed the list phase and I will make sure that the folks who wanted more than the two that I have allotted during this phase will have plenty of opportunity to pick more of these up if they wish.
Atwood Titanium Cookie Wrenches measure 2.25" in diameter and are made of 1/8" thick stock. They are based loosely on antique lantern wrench designs from the 1940's. Features include 1/4 and 5/16 hex openings, 3/8, 7/16 and 1/2" wrenches, 5/16 open end wrench/bottle opener, oxygen bottle wrench, lanyard and center 7/8" hex opening.
This batch is lightly bead blasted and anodized a rich rose gold color. Clean with Windex or other glass cleaner periodically to keep the color bright.
So there you are...crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside. Mmmmm good, just like Mom's only these last much longer...LOL.
The Cookie Wrenches will be $65 plus shipping. I didn't make a whole lot of them so it will be one per customer. I'm still finishing the batch so there will be another wave pretty soon. Maybe the next ones will be chocolate chip!
These are gone for today, thank you!
MicroSpuds are sold out, thanks everyone.
People keep emailing me and asking if I will do some XL G3 Prybabies in the next batch. No, I can't. The reason is, if I have grooves or thumb scallops on the top edge of the tool then on a lot of the pieces a little teeny stress crack occurs when I make the bend. It's very small. While I don't think it really affects the strength of the tool it looks as though it is a small crack and therefore casts doubt in my mind. In the past I did make a few and then had to spend a considerable amount of time grinding and sanding to fix the areas in question.
What I can do at some point is to make a batch of Prybabies with no grooves or scallops and no little jog at the bottle opener area. That way with an uninterrupted expanse the bend would go smoothly with no problems.
The first wave of SuperBugs are done. I have quite a few of these and will be cleaning and assembling more over the next day or two.
SuperBugs are made of 5/32 S30v steel. I'm sure the various functions are obvious and familiar to Atwood fans. :) No plans for a ti version right now but who knows?
I found a neat little bee or fly image amongst my old jeweler's stamps and just had to include it on the tool. These rare metal stamps are from the 1800's and I think it's so cool to be able to create a bridge between the centuries this way. Plus given my output of energy this past month the bee seemed more than appropriate!
SuperBugs will be $50 plus shipping. I had 10 lefties but they are all gone, thanks.
These are gone for now but I have many many more coming in a day or so. Thanks folks!

AccuWeather Issues Statement of Apology to National Weather Service Employees
January 17, 2019; 11:42 PM
AccuWeather Global Weather Center - January 17, 2019 - An article was published today on AccuWeather.com to reassure consumers and businesses that, despite some media reports, there has been no degradation to the accuracy of our weather forecasts due to the government shutdown. Additionally, the article indicated that National Weather Service forecasters, despite not being paid, continued to issue life-saving weather warnings to protect people and property across the country, and the necessary data continues to flow through government sources. This intent was not well communicated through the article.
We understand that the article has upset some of our trusted colleagues in the meteorological community, especially those in the government who are already in a challenging position because they are working without pay. We sincerely apologize to them. It was not our intent to imply any disrespect for our meteorological colleagues in any way.
We greatly support, value and appreciate the service and partnership of the dedicated and hardworking staff of the National Weather Service. AccuWeather remains a proud partner with the NWS, other government agencies, and the academic research community.
The original version of the story is being updated to clarify any concerns that have been raised, and we appreciate the candid feedback.

£500,000 fine after workers were exposed to hand-arm vibration risks
A large Telford-based foundry has been fined after a number of its workers were diagnosed with hand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS).
Three employees of Saint-Gobain Construction Products UK Limited, the earliest of which had used vibrating tools at the company since 1989, had developed and were subsequently diagnosed with HAVS in 2016. Despite the diagnosis, one of the workers continued working with vibrating tools, without effective measures in place to control the risk. The employees used tools such as hand grinders, air chisels, spindle grinders, and earlier on in their employment, jackhammers to finish cast iron drainage products.
A HSE investigation found that until 19 December 2017, the vibration risk assessment did not identify each employee's daily exposure to vibration and did not measure cumulative exposures of using different vibrating tools throughout a shift. The HSE also found there was inadequate health surveillance in place and employees were not made aware of HAVS and its symptoms. Despite health surveillance notifying the company of a HAVS diagnosis, the company had failed to take effective action to adjust the affected worker's job, meaning staff continued to be exposed to excessive vibration.
Saint-Gobain Construction Products UK Limited of Saint-Gobain House, East Leake, Loughborough, Leicestershire pleaded guilty to failing to discharge the duty imposed upon it by Section 2(1) of the Health and Safety at work etc Act 1974. They were fined £500,000 and ordered to pay costs of £9,453.
Speaking after the hearing, HSE Inspector Andrew Johnson said: "This was an established multinational company that had the resources to protect its workers from the effects of excessive vibration but failed to do so over a long period of time. All employers have a duty to provide effective measures to ensure the health of their staff is not seriously or permanently harmed by the work they are asked to do."

Q: rvm for Jenkins under Tomcat 6 I've got Jenkins running under Tomcat 6. It's running as user tomcat6, with a home directory of /usr/share/tomcat6. I would like to install rvm for this user so I can use it for testing, but I can't figure out ho - is it possible to install rvm for a service user? I tried running the rvm installation script as a build step for a project, here's what I got:

/tmp/tomcat6-tmp/hudson2846335381818356442.sh: 3: Syntax error: redirection unexpected
  Finished: FAILURE

I also tried a multi-user installation of rvm, but I couldn't get the tomcat6 user to use any rvm commands - it seemed like it didn't recognize that rvm was installed. I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks.

A: This looks like bash/zsh script running in SH shell, most likely this is caused by using dash instead of bash (and linking it to /bin/sh) - it's mostly Ubuntu problem.
Make sure your scripts are ran with bash or sh which is linked to bash, it will make the script working properly.


On the weekend my mum tossed me in to a tank full of sharks. But I'm not surprised… it's not like it's the first time she's done it. Although it is the first time she's tossed my friends in after me.
But don't worry, she's not insane… well not very. It was my 8th birthday present and we all wanted to go swimming with sharks – she just made it happen. You see, instead of just seeing the sharks at Sydney Aquarium we got to swim with them on a shark reef snorkel. In their actual tank.
Now swimming with sharks sounds scarier than it is for two reasons. The first reason is that we were kind of like the sharks pet goldfish because we were in a glass bowl inside their 2 million-litre tank and they were looking at us like we were the exhibit.
Because of the glass they couldn't nibble on us but we could still swim right alongside them. The second reason is that it's a big fat myth that sharks are all really dangerous to people. Most of them aren't.
It was a totally epic experience to share the water with reef sharks, critically endangered sawfish and a massive leopard shark.
It was also awesome to learn about sharks and their ecosystem from Jason, the cool dude who looks after the sharks at the Aquarium.
There are around 440 known breeds of shark and only four are dangerous to man. The Great White, The Tiger Shark, The Bull Shark and the Oceanic White Tip Shark. The rest of them are just like cuddly underwater teddy bears… with sharp pointy teeth!
Reef dwelling sharks are actually kind of lazy for predators and hunt sick fish because they are easy prey. So unless you look like a dying fish or squid you should be fine if you ever bump into one on the street. Mind you if you look like a squid you've got bigger things to worry about than sharks.
Some sharks sleep by switching off half their brain and using the other half to keep filtering water through their gills. That's something mum sometimes accuses me of doing when I'm watching TV. The half a brain thing… not the gills.
Sharks have amazing hearing. They can hear a fish in the water as far as 500 metres away. So you can bet they heard me and my noisy friends coming.
This is the most important thing I learned. For every human killed by a shark, two million sharks are killed by humans.
Sharks have an important place in the ocean ecosystem and we should treat them with the respect they deserve. I'm not suggesting you should go and cuddle one… just that everyone needs to remember that it's THEIR ocean.
The shark reef snorkel experience was independently paid for.
You are a little legend Raffles.
Now THAT is a cool birthday present. My sister is a dive instructor and been all across the world and swam with whale sharks, reef sharks as well as almost every sea creature you could think of!
Wow, those little dudes are very brave! Not sure you'd find me in there!
That is the coolest present!
Thanks for linking up to the ultimate rabbit hole!
How amazing – looks like the kids had a fantastic time. I'd quite like to swim with sharks myself!
Fantastic! I had no idea that such young kids could do this – how cool and what a great party for a birthday. Just that gleaming edge of danger to keep them all thrilled.
I'm loading this post into my MeetEdgar library so it will pop up on Facebook and Twitter now and then again in the future. Perfect!
Thanks Seanna, it was wonderful. Kids as young as 5 can join in!
You get to do the coolest things dude!
What a fabulous idea for a birthday party – fun and learning in one!

Iran missiles shipped to Houthis in Yemen seized, displayed by U.S.
The U.S. State Department on Nov. 29 displayed what it says is proof that Iran continues to violate UN resolutions which prohibit the Islamic Republic from exporting weapons.
During a press conference at Joint Base Anacostia–Bolling in Washington, D.C., the State Department unveiled Iranian missiles that were seized in Yemen and Afghanistan which it said were delivered to, or intended for delivery to, the Houthi rebels and the Taliban, two of Iran's terror proxies.
"Today, the United States is unveiling new evidence of Iran's ongoing missile proliferation," said Brian Hook, Senior Policy Advisor to the Secretary of State and Special Representative for Iran.
The State Department on Nov. 29 first displayed an Iranian designed and manufactured Sayyad 2C surface-to-air missile. The missile is one of two identical systems interdicted by Saudi Arabia in Yemen earlier this year.
The State Department also displayed Toophan and Tosan anti-tank guided missiles that Iran "produces and transfers." One of the Toophan rockets was seized in an arms cache aboard a dhow in the Arabian Sea. The other was found by Saudi Arabia during a raid in Yemen.
"These missiles enhance the Houthis' capabilities and further intensify the conflict in Yemen," Hook said.
Fajr rockets were also added to the display by the State Department. The weapons were recovered in Helmand, near Kandahar Air Field, by the Afghan National Army from the Taliban. Iran has been providing material support to the Taliban since at least 2007. Fajr rockets have been used by Hamas in the past.
Also displayed was debris from the Shahed 123 missile system, which was recovered by coalition forces in Afghanistan after it crashed, as well as Shahed components that were interdicted in Yemen in early 2018, the State Department said.
"This missile system is primarily designed to conduct covert reconnaissance and surveillance missions, potentially putting American and coalition forces at risk," Hook said.
The State Department also displayed what it said were several small arms of Iranian origin, such as sniper rifles, RPGs, AK variants, and hand grenades.
The State Department noted that Iran has the largest ballistic missile force in the Middle East, with more than 10 ballistic missile systems either in its inventory or under development.

10 reasons the U.S. is no longer the land of the free by Jonathan Turley
habeus corpus
warrantless wiretapping
Every year, the State Department issues reports on individual rights in other countries, monitoring the passage of restrictive laws and regulations around the world. Iran, for example, has been criticized for denying fair public trials and limiting privacy, while Russia has been taken to task for undermining due process. Other countries have been condemned for the use of secret evidence and torture.
Even as we pass judgment on countries we consider unfree, Americans remain confident that any definition of a free nation must include their own — the land of free. Yet, the laws and practices of the land should shake that confidence. In the decade since Sept. 11, 2001, this country has comprehensively reduced civil liberties in the name of an expanded security state. The most recent example of this was the National Defense Authorization Act, signed Dec. 31, which allows for the indefinite detention of citizens. At what point does the reduction of individual rights in our country change how we define ourselves?

WASHINGTON — A white, unmarked Boeing 737 landed in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, before dawn on a CIA mission so secretive, many in the nation's war on terrorism were kept in the dark.
Four of the nation's most highly valued terrorist prisoners were aboard.
They arrived at Guantanamo on Sept. 24, 2003, years earlier than the U.S. has ever disclosed. Then, months later, they were just as quietly whisked away before the Supreme Court could give them access to lawyers.
The transfer allowed the U.S. to interrogate the detainees in CIA "black sites" for two more years without allowing them to speak with attorneys or human rights observers or challenge their detention in U.S. courts. Had they remained at the Guantanamo Bay prison for just three more months, they would have been afforded those rights.

Have We Learned Anything from the Bush Years? by George Washington
Many hyperlinks at the original - loose nuke
http://georgewashington2.blogspot.com/2009/12/have-we-learned-anything-from-bush.html
Fear makes people stupid.
It makes us unable to think straight. And it makes us give up our power to tough-talking authoritarians.
War Is Stupid
And since the "war on terror" is now being expanded to Yemen, it is worth remembering that experts state that the "war on terror" has been counterproductive for keeping us safe. For example, a leading advisor to the U.S. military, the hawkish Rand Corporation, released a study in 2008 called "How Terrorist Groups End: Lessons for Countering al Qa'ida".
The report confirms what experts have been saying for years: the war on terror is actually weakening national security (see this, this and this).
As a press release about the study states:
"Terrorists should be perceived and described as criminals, not holy warriors, and our analysis suggests that there is no battlefield solution to terrorism."
And see this.

Identity Of CIA Officer Responsible For Pre-9/11 Failures, Tora Bora Escape, Rendition To Torture Revealed
Ali Soufan
Richard Blee
Russell Fincher
The name of the CIA officer who ran Alec Station, the agency's bin Laden unit, in the run-up to 9/11 can be revealed. Known by a variety of aliases in the media until now, such as "Rich" in Steve Coll's Ghost Wars, "Richard" in the 9/11 Commission report and "Rich B" in George Tenet's At the Center of the Storm, his real name is Richard Blee.
Blee was a key figure in the pre-9/11 intelligence failures, the CIA station chief in Afghanistan when Osama bin Laden escaped from Tora Bora and instrumental in setting up the Bush administration's rendition and torture policies.
I confirmed Blee's identity in this document, notes drafted by a 9/11 Commission staffer, apparently in preparation of the drafting of the final report. The notes were found along with thousands of other 9/11 Commission files at the National Archives by History Commons contributor Erik Larson, who uploaded them to the 9/11 Document Archive at Scribd. I previously blogged other interesting aspects of the notes here and here.
Blee is mentioned several times in the 9/11 Commission's files, but his name is always redacted, as it has been in the media until now. However, in one case the people doing the redactions let it slip past them.

An emerging progressive consensus on Obama's executive power and secrecy abuses - Glenn Greenwald
http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2009/04/13/obama/index.html
Intro excerpt:
"In the last week alone, the Obama DOJ (a) attempted to shield Bush's illegal spying programs from judicial review by (yet again) invoking the very "state secrets" argument that Democrats spent years condemning and by inventing a brand new "sovereign immunity" claim that not even the Bush administration espoused, and (b) argued that individuals abducted outside of Afghanistan by the U.S. and then "rendered" to and imprisoned in Bagram have no rights of any kind -- not even to have a hearing to contest the accusations against them -- even if they are not Afghans and were captured far away from any "battlefield." These were merely the latest -- and among the most disturbing -- in a string of episodes in which the Obama administration has explicitly claimed to possess the very presidential powers that Bush critics spent years condemning as radical, lawless and authoritarian.

missing trillions
Landmark Aviation plans on divesting its FBO (fixed base operation) "Landmark Aviation Airport Services" and upon consultation with Merrill Lynch has placed the "Airport Services" division in a management trust operated and overseen by trustee's James Schlesinger, the former Secretary of Defense, Energy and CIA Director; former Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska (9/11 Commission); and Dov Zakheim, the former Pentagon comptroller.
(Background: Landmark Aviation was recently sold by the Carlyle Group to (DAE) Dubai Aerospace Enterprise Ltd.) Landmark Aviation and its "Airport Services" have also been suspected of running rendition flights out of Dulles Airport. (Links Below)
"DAE has placed Airport Services in a management trust. The FBO division is separated from the rest of DAE, and has its own infrastructure and support network.

Emily and Matt's wedding was one that was dear to my heart. Em is a close friend of mine who married the love of her life, Matt, back in March 2014. Their vision for the wedding was to create a simple, classic yet elegant atmosphere. This called for the classic sweet smelling David Austin roses and an array of seasonal white blooms.
Em's bouquet was made up of approximately 40 natural stemmed, sweet smelling David Austin roses and her bridesmaids held a smaller replica of her bouquet. Emily's favourite piece was her hair circlet which was created with the same roses, complimented by a soft green foliage.
The reception was filled with vases of the of seasonal white blooms with the guest and bridal tables decorated with smaller arrangements of David Austin roses and green foliage.
Laughs were had and memories made.

Bob Lively (né Bobby Gene Lively 10 February 1923 Little Rock, Arkansas – 22 September 1994 Los Angeles) was an American jazz saxophonist who flourished during the 1940s swing era.

Stan Kenton years
Lively was a member of the Stan Kenton Orchestra from 1941 to 1945. Kenton's orchestra spent the summer of 1941 playing regularly at the Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa Beach, California. The Kenton Orchestra struggled a bit after its initial success and its Decca recordings were not big sellers. A stint as Bob Hope's backup radio band was an unhappy experience; Les Brown permanently took Kenton's place. By late 1943 with a Capitol Records contract, a popular record in "Eager Beaver", and growing recognition, the Stan Kenton Orchestra was gradually catching on. Its soloists during the war years included Art Pepper, briefly Stan Getz, altoists Boots Mussulli and Bob Lively, and singer Anita O'Day, who starred on Kenton's first big hit, 1944s "And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine." By 1945 the band had evolved quite a bit. Pete Rugolo became the chief arranger (extending Kenton's ideas), Bob Cooper and Vido Musso offered very different tenor styles, and June Christy was Kenton's new singer. Her hits — including "Tampico" and "Across the Alley From the Alamo" — made it possible for Kenton to finance his more ambitious projects. A popular recording of Laura was made, the theme song from the film Laura, starring actress Gene Tierney, and featured the voices of the band. When Kenton disbanded in early 1949, Harry Betts, Art Pepper, Buddy Childers, and Laurindo Almeida were hired by Earle Spencer.

Earle Spencer Orchestra
Lively performed with the Earle Spencer Orchestra from 1946 to 1949. Earle formed his band in 1946 after being discharged from the U.S. Navy. The band was based in Los Angeles and was modeled after the progressive sounds of Stan Kenton, Johnny Richards, and Boyd Raeburn. His 1946 band included former Glenn Miller sideman Wilber Schwartz on clarinet and alto sax and Ray Linn, who had played with Tommy Dorsey, on trumpet. Bob Lively played alto saxophone. Spencer disbanded his band in 1952. The band recorded for the Black and White label in 1946 and 1949. Bob Haywood was vocalist for the 1946 band. Toni Aubin (1924–1990) joined Spencer as female vocalist in 1949. She married Howard Phillips who was playing sax (1947–49) in the band. (Bob Lively was also playing in the band.) Toni Aubin recorded "Sunday Afternoon" and other songs with the Spencer orchestra, but also recorded with the Louis Ohls Orchestra out of Arkadelphia, and the Phil Carreon Big Band out of Los Angeles, California.

Through his numerous associations, Lively played alto saxophone, clarinet, and piano among the trumpets of Johnny Carroll, Buddy Childers, John Anderson, Gene Roland, Mel Green, the drums of Gene Krupa, John Varney, and saxophonists Stan Getz, Art Pepper, Bob Gioga (1905–1999) and Boots Mussulli (1915–1967). Lively performed with Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, Woody Herman, Tommy Dorsey, and Benny Goodman.
