Blur drummer Dave Rowntree would like very much to prove that adage wrong, as according to NME, he'll run as a Labour Party candidate for the local council election in his Marylebone …
"Sorry we haven't been back sooner, Sydney"...."18 years!". Hang on a second... it has been 18 years since Blur played the Hordern Pavilion (that's 1997 for those who need some friendly Sunday morning maths assistance).
After the release of The Magic Whip (first album since Think Tank was released in 2003), this world tour sees Blur play Australia (including the Splendour in the Grass festival in Byron Bay) for the first time in 18 years!
Playing to a very nearly sold out crowd, Blur played a mixed bag from all eight of their albums, complete with backing singers and a four-piece (at least it looked like four from where I was standing) horn section. There's No Other Way, Trimm Trabb, Trouble in the Message Centre, Parklife, Coffee and TV and of course the crowd pleasing, Song 2; all the hits were played. (No Country House... but not sad about it)
As the tour is off the back of the release of The Magic Whip they unsurprisingly played a handful of songs form the new album. I'm not sure about the rest of the crowd, but although I do love the album, songs like Go Out, Lonesome Street and Thought I Was a Spaceman, really didn't strike the same chord in me as the older songs did.
I could not pick a fault with the show in terms of musicality. Each song played faultlessly.... except for the moment at which Graham managed to land a forward roll (whilst playing guitar), but had to miss a few notes whilst readjusting his strap. Damon was his relentlessly energetic self, Alex (dressed only in a t-shirt and shorts... dude! It's winter here!) was having an amazing time strutting his stuff for the pleasure of everyone right of stage, Graham's guitar playing was executed seemingly effortlessly and Dave... well, he's still Dave (face obscured by cymbal for the whole show, but i assume his only changed minimally).
I would also like to mention how pleasant it actually was being in the crowd. It was a significant difference from my last Blur experience: being 17 and frantically trying to be as close to the front as I could be; almost dying of heat exhaustion (I can only imagine how revolting i must have looked to anyone caught a glimpse - not that I cared); and being intermittently saturated by Damon's endless supply of "crowd water".
These days "crowd water" is still being widely thrown, but I felt no jostling or pushing. Just people happy to be there. There was even a "celebrity" sighting or three; with the dudes from Top Gear hanging side of stage. Didn't Jeremy Clarkson get the boot from that show? Who knows... who cares? Anyway, I digress....
After a mammoth two-hour set, one of two things were obvious from Graham's cheeky smiles and other facial expressions during the encore (where they played some of the classic singles: Stereotypes; Girls and Boys; For Tomorrow; and ending on a slow tune with The Universal) that Graham was either jetlagged and ready for a nice sit down, or he had played those songs so many times before that he had gone into auto-pilot mode and his mind was completely elsewhere. Either way, I was not disappointed (which is clearly evident, because the nanna in me usually gets annoyed during the short wait before an encore and is half way home before the band has finished).
Oh.. and support act? Sorry Jamie T, but I had to drink some beers in a pub down the street whilst you were playing; but by all reports you were pretty good and if time machines were a thing, I'd definitely turn up earlier to watch you.

Adelaide Fringe Festival
Artist and audiences travel from all over the world to experience the unique summer fun of Adelaide Fringe – the festival that literally takes over the city. Most of the Fringe action takes place at night, so your days are free to explore the 'festival state'. …
Sally had a chance to sit down with the ever lovely Bud Petal prior to his album launch show next week as part of the Adelaide Fringe Festival, which is happening from the 13th of February to the 15th of March. Bud Petal are playing the Grace Emily Hotel on Thursday February 19th with special guests Jono Lattin and Philip H. Bleek.
Feel free to check out the Adelaide Fringe Festival Website for more information on the bazillions of amazing things that will be happening over the month.
In this podcast we chat about Bud's music, the making of the album, Fabric Cordial and a bunch of other bits and pieces including:
The making of the video for the recent single Wissotzky In The Night
Some of Bud's label mates on Hospital Hill records, specifically Japanese noise musician Merzbow
A jaunt to Syney's Taronga Zoo to watch Belle and Sebastian, supported by Darren Hanlon
Some other of Bud's favourite local acts:
Wyatt Moss-Wellington and his Sanitary Apocalypse
Wartime Sweethearts
Nick Cassey, (who was discussed but the podcast recording machine ate that portion of the dialogue)… who has an amazing song about a chicken
The Ellis Collective, out of Canberra, home of Questacon (Sally's favourite science museum)

I've seen Belle & Sebastian twice, but have never made the commitment to tracking them down for autographs. That's got to be tough, as you know the group is large (currently: Stuart Murdoch, Stevie Jackson ...
Sally just saw Belle and Sebastian at Enmore Theatre in Sydney, Australia, as part of their four appearances courtesy of Laneway Presents* and Penny Drop.
Range Anxiety
According to the poster artwork, Melbourne's Twerps were openers to all the Australian Laneway Presents/Penny Drop dates. The last news I heard from Twerps was that their new album is called Range Anxiety, which came out this week (January 27, 2015) via Merge Records. Look for Twerps in the United States, touring around SXSW 2015.
As a special side show, B&S are also set to play at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney this Saturday, January 31st, which Sally is also attending. You can hear all the upcoming plan on our Party Line.
Looking over their setlist, there were about four songs from Girls in Peacetime Want To Dance (two of them played at the beginning), but the rest were older songs - which is fine, as I'm sure most fans aren't that familiar with the new songs.

The Trotskies - The Trotskies
It's great loud, it's multi-layered and if just catchy enough to warrant a second and third listen (and probably more). It's the debut self-titled EP from this five piece, with a penchant for grey, from Melbourne (Australia). Only very new to the music scene, The Trotskies are a group of friends who share similar musical taste as well as the same level of passion for music, shown by the speed at which they've released their debut recording. This EP is just a taste of what I'm sure is yet to come.
Reportedly influenced by Joy Division, New Order, The Stone Roses and the like, but this doesn't clearly come across in their songs.... which is not all bad. Who likes a copycat anyway?
The Trotskies brand of indie will not get you singing along on a long car trip (which is my personal favourite location for getting re-acquainted with anything Stone Roses related). The laid back tempo and the borderline moody guitar sings will most definitely inspire you to grab a cold beverage and have a nice sit down, close your eyes and just take it all in. I can envisage these guys would come across very well in a live setting.
I recommend keeping your eye out for this EP as well as any news of live shows in your general vicinity. But in the meantime, if you'd like to find out more head over to their Triple J Unearthed page where you can sample some of their music.

The Tealeaves - No More Can You Be Here
No More Can You Be Here is the second album from Melbourne band, The Tealeaves. Although, not familiar with their first album, it's reported that this album is noticably different to their first, self-titled album, but not in a bad way. Since releasing their first album three years ago, the band have been touring extensively, writing and recording this new album.
Each of the ten tracks on No More Can You Be Here are brilliantly written songs. With soothing melodies accompanied by beautiful harmonies. The songs are generally quiet and reserved, but have multiple layers, which give it a full and warm texture. They are also multi-faceted; drifting seemlessly from one feel to another, but they're not too long, so perfect for those of us with tiny tiny attention spans.
Feeling stressed? Put this album on and you wont be for long (if pain persists, see your doctor).
If you're a fan of greats such as Fleetwood Mac, Cat Stevens and Simon & Garfunkel, then you'll most definitely enjoy this album and probably enjoy The Tealeaves even more live. It's some of the most enjoyable indie/folk I've heard in a very long time.
No More Can You Be Here is due for release this coming September. So keep your eyes and ears out for this excellent album.

W♥M167: Past Music Festival?
Sally and Kristen take over W♥M Radio for a long overdue chat about some of the blasts from the past resurfacing with new songs and tour dates.
- Suede - new song, Barriers.
- Stone Roses - It seems that there are some Americans who don't know who they are. The recent announcement of them headlining the Coachella festival in the US caused a little bit of controversy with a few clueless kids. The Stone Roses are also coming to Australia playing Future Music festival and a whole heap of sold out side shows and aren't we excited??! (Yes).
-	Groovin The Moo, W♥M's favourite regional touring festival 2013 line-up announced - Tame Impala, They Might Be Giants, Tegan and Sara, Regurgitator, Alpine, The Bronx, The Kooks, Hungry Kids of Hungary, Frightened Rabbit...
- It was the hottest day in Sydney ever and Evan Dando played in a small (air-conditioned) pub in Newtown for free.
- Pulp has released a "new" song, About You, which really isn't that new at all and Kristen has a theory about how it all went down. Get About You on iTunes.
- David Bowie is releasing a new album and he is also the winner of creepiest film clip of the day. Ball magic and socks down his leotard.

Sally is hung over from seeing A Popfrenzy Spring Delight at the Chalk-Horse Gallery in Sydney (11/03/12). Featuring three bands: Day Ravies, Camperdown & Out, and the difficult to google Songs.
Vu caught some Australian bands in the USA, they were here for CMJ and decided to play some dates in America. Gold Fields were seen at Nether Bar, Minneapolis (10/13) and 7th Street Entry, Minneapolis (10/27).
We also covered San Cisco at Turf Club, St Paul (10/21) and Echo, Los Angeles (10/23).
A couple of Australian Festivals coming up:
Laneway Festival

Song of the show is Guided By Voices' "Game of Pricks." There will be a Guided By Voices tribute show at the PBC this November 23rd, 2012.
Some details from Facebook:
What began many moons ago as a joke name for a tribute band has recently developed into the perfect way to spend an evening at our favourite bowlo/community club, the PBC!! For those unfamiliar with the work of Dayton, Ohio band Guided By Voices, needless to say there is plenty of evidence on You Tube, but for now I'll just concur with White House Press Secretary Jay Carney by saying Guided By Voices is the greatest rock and roll band of the modern era, in my humble opinion. Myself and a bunch of mates will be playing a couple of sets of GBV classics, with the evening to be opened by local songsmith Tom Warren in his solo guise as Telepathetic. More details as they come to light...the setlists, however, will remain a closely guarded secret until performance. Feel free to post suggestions below though!
BONUS: Opossums and (North American) possums explained!

De Slowaakse Karst is een bergketen in het zuiden van Slowakije. Het maakt deel uit van het Slowaaks Ertsgebergte, dat op zijn beurt weer deel uitmaakt van de Karpaten. De naam is afgeleid van de geografische term karst, hetgeen daar veel te vinden zijn. Daarnaast zijn er grote vlakten.

Sinds 1973 is de Slowaakse Karst een beschermd gebied en in 2002 is een gedeelte uitgeroepen tot het Nationaal Park Slowaakse Karst. Het gebied maakt deel uit van de door de UNESCO op de werelderfgoedlijst geplaatste gebied grotten van de Aggtelek Karst en Slowaakse Karst. Dit gebeurde in 1995. De hoogste top van de bergketen is Jelení vrch en ligt op 947 meter hoogte.

Q: how do i get +2 strings in php and awnser a question over shell script bash linux automaticly I need a some code with awnser a question over a shell script with php code over html:
Shell script
read -p nome: nome
read -p ramal: ramal
read -p passwd: passwd

echo " " >> sip.conf
echo [$nome] >> sip.conf
echo type=friend >> sip.conf
echo username=$nome >> sip.conf
echo callerid=$nome >> sip.conf
echo mailbox =$ramal >> sip.conf
echo secret=$passwd >> sip.conf
echo host=dynamic >> sip.conf
echo context=local-tmp >> sip.conf

echo " "  >> extensions.conf
echo "exten => $ramal,1,Dial(SIP/$ramal,10,t)" >> extensions.conf

The php code over html, should be execute shell_exec and anwser that:
nome
ramal
passwd

A: You don't need bash to append content to file. You can use fopen with a flag or file_put_content with FILE_APPEND flag:
$nome = $_POST['nome'] ?? throw new Exception('nome not defined');
$ramal = $_POST['ramal'] ?? throw new Exception('ramal not defined');
$passwd = $_POST['passwd'] ?? throw new Exception('passwd not defined');

$newContent = <<< BASH

[$nome]
type=friend
username=$nome
callerid=$nome
mailbox =$ramal
secret=$passwd
host=dynamic
context=local-tmp

BASH;

$newExtensionsContent = PHP_EOL . "exten => $ramal,1,Dial(SIP/$ramal,10,t)";

file_put_contents('sip.conf', $newContent, FILE_APPEND);
file_put_contents('extensions.conf', $newExtensionsContent, FILE_APPEND);

National Endowment for the Arts and Arts Midwest Expand Long-Standing Theater Arts Program to Reach Young People in the Juvenile Justice System
Minneapolis, MN – Arts Midwest today announced the first seven grantees in an initiative to expand the National Endowment for the Arts' long-standing Shakespeare in American Communities program into the juvenile justice system. Shakespeare in American Communities: Juvenile Justice will provide $170,000 in federal funds specifically earmarked for programming for young people in the U.S. criminal justice system over the next year.
The program seeks to expand upon the success of previous inter-agency partnerships with the Department of Defense (2003) to present plays on military bases, and with the Department of Justice (2009-2011) to reach young people in the juvenile justice system through artistic programming. Although Shakespeare in American Communities has funded theater companies who have partnered with the juvenile justice system in the past, this is the first time that dedicated federal funds have been set aside specifically for supporting juvenile justice programming.
"Since 2003, the National Endowment for the Arts has brought professional performances of Shakespeare's plays to millions of middle and high school students in cities and towns across the United States. Not only has the initiative had a cultural impact in our nation's schools, the program has proven to be transformative in the juvenile justice system," said Mary Anne Carter, acting chairman of the Arts Endowment.
Arts Midwest conducted a panel review of arts organizations with proven track records of teaching the works of William Shakespeare within the juvenile justice system.
"Support from the National Endowment for the Arts gives these theater education programs space to grow, provides artists the opportunity to deepen their practice, allows for continued partnership between arts organizations and the justice system, and while helping young people develop social and emotional skills important to their success," said Christy Dickinson, senior program director at Arts Midwest. "The program would not be possible without the amazing artists and practitioners who dedicate themselves to this work. These organizations provide valuable opportunities for incarcerated young people to discover themselves through the characters and words of Shakespeare."
Arts Midwest's previous work with partners in criminal justice facilities and the NEA's research into the impact of arts programming for youth and adults in the criminal justice system have both demonstrated great potential for the program to help with some of the underlying causes of vexing problems such as re-entry from prison to community and reducing recidivism.
"Quantifiable research demonstrates that prison arts programs – such as the agency's Shakespeare for American Communities: Juvenile Justice program – build self-confidence, self-discipline, and creative thinking in participants. We know that the longer someone is involved with a prison arts program, the more likely they are to show positive behavioral changes." said Mary Anne Carter.
"If we do not consciously work to transform our unresolved pain, we will most likely pass it on to others, for most assuredly, hurt people hurt people," said Curt L. Tofetland, founder and producing artistic director, of Shakespeare Behind Bars, a 2019-2020 program grantee. "The Shakespeare in American Communities: Juvenile Justice program is an opportunity for highly-skilled and experienced prison arts practitioners to enter the world of juvenile corrections to create a circle of trust in which we can learn to grieve for our losses and harms; to give voice to our suffering; to listen deeply to others; to find the compassion we need for ourselves and others."
2019-2020 Shakespeare in American Communities: Juvenile Justice Grantees
These grantees will conduct programs within the juvenile justice system between August 1, 2019, and July 31, 2020.
Actors' Shakespeare Project (Somerville, MA)
This long-standing partnership between Actors' Shakespeare Project and the Department of Youth Services began in 2006. Twice a week, with the help of teaching artists from Actors' Shakespeare Project, young people participate in performances, workshops, rehearsals, and written reflections based on Shakespearean texts.
Delaware Shakespeare (Wilmington, DE)
Through a partnership with the Department of Services for Children, Youth, and their Families, Delaware Shakespeare will use Romeo and Juliet and The Tempest to help young people identify universal human themes in Shakespeare's plays and find parallel experiences in participants' own lives. The company is planning on working with one juvenile justice facility and four sites working with young people who are transitioning back into their communities.
Kentucky Shakespeare (Louisville, KY)
Kentucky Shakespeare's long history of serving incarcerated and at-risk young people began in 1995 and continues to be led by Program Director and Producing Artistic Director Matt Wallace. They will partner with the Louisville Metro Youth Detention Services to build a multi-disciplinary residency exploring Shakespeare's Hamlet. Programming will include teaching artists specializing in live performance, playwriting, visual arts, and conflict resolution. Incarcerated youth will have the opportunity to dialogue with adult inmates at Luther Luckett Correctional Complex.
Marin Shakespeare Company (San Rafael, CA)
Marin Shakespeare Company's programming will support young people at Alameda Juvenile Hall in San Leandro as part of the facility's formal academic instruction. Programming will be led by a team of teaching artists, including Suraya Keating, a drama therapist who uses creativity as a tool for individual and social transformation, and Dameion Brown, a community ambassador, inspirational speaker, and actor who participated in Marin Shakespeare Company's Shakespeare at Solano Prison program while serving a 23-year sentence.
Shakespeare & Company (Lenox, MA)
Shakespeare & Company's Shakespeare in the Courts program was created in partnership with the Berkshire Juvenile Court in 2001. The company's teaching artists receive theatrical and DEI training from internationally-renowned Center for Actor Training under the leadership of Founding Director of Education Kevin G. Coleman.
Shakespeare Behind Bars (Macatwaw, MI)
Shakespeare Behind Bars, led by Founder & Producing Artistic Director Curt L. Tofetland, a mentor and leader in the field, will take the company's "Circle of Trust" model to young people in the Illinois Juvenile Center in Chicago. This approach to teaching Shakespeare immerses students in a comprehensive and experimental examination of Shakespeare's text through a creative, developmental, and instructional program called "We Know What We Are, But Know Not What We May Be."
Tennessee Shakespeare Company (Memphis, TN)
Tennessee Shakespeare Company will partner with Jail East in Memphis and Shelby County Criminal Complex Jail in a 12-week program culminating in a performance of Henry V for participants' peers, families, correctional officers, attorneys, and local officials.

Virginia Supreme Court Issues Rare Order
Permits death penalty in case involving Vienna Convention rights
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA , January 20, 2006 — On Thursday, Jan. 19 the Supreme Court of Virginia intervened in a Fairfax County capital murder case, and overruled a judge who had ruled that a Vietnamese man could not be subjected to the death penalty because police violated his Vienna Convention rights by not informing him that he could contact his embassy.
Initially, the trial judge had prohibited the prosecutor from seeking the death penalty against Dinh Pham, citing provisions of the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, which was created to provide protections for people arrested in another country.
Pham, 34, of Annandale is accused of the 2004 murders of Loan P. Nguyen, 30, and her 22-month-old daughter, Ashley N. Ton.
At the request of the Commonwealth's Attorney for Fairfax County , the Virginia Supreme Court intervened and permitted the prosecutor to seek the death penalty.

The tornado struck forty years ago almost to the day from today. We had a small farm between Midland and Odessa. My mother and brother were in Midland at Little League practice. She noticed the odd color of the sky and ominous clouds forming. Soon after the game was called because of the approaching storm. My mother and brother started for our farm, ten miles away. When the storm hit it was so severe they couldn't see to drive and my mother had to pull off the highway. Meanwhile I was home alone at our farm. At the height of the storm the force of the hail and deluge was such that it broke the windows of our home and water poured in. The tornado passed to the west of our house, not far from it. There were a pair of mobile homes directly behind our property. The tornado completely destroyed one trailer and knocked over the other, twirling debris around nearby utility poles. Fortunately no one was in the demolished trailer. The family inside the knocked-over home survived uninjured, but the tornado killed a number of livestock in the field. The hail had piled up high enough that I had trouble opening the sliding glass doors to let in my mother and brother when they finally made it home. Shortly thereafter the family in the knocked-over trailer came to our house and took refuge there. Although our house was flooded it was intact, but we had considerable loss due to water damage. When my father flew in from out of town a day or two later, he remarked that from the air it looked as though a giant hand had swept through.


As light emitting diodes become the standard lighting, it is important to understand the dissimilarities between watts and lumens, as well as how to establish the right amount of lumens for achieving optimum atmosphere in a space.
Let's get to understand what lumens are: The lumen is an international scientific measurement standard for the quantity of light generated by a specific light source or its measured brightness. On the other hand, Watts measure the required amount of energy necessary for operating a light source.
The only challenge here is that there isn't a mathematical formula to convert watts to lumens, like in converting kilograms (Kgs) to miles.
The advent of LED technology (which is more energy efficient) has changed the lighting landscape. It has rendered the use of conventional bulbs meaningless. Unfortunately, this rapid change in technology has made the old-fashioned "Watt" light measurement less able to accurately indicate the bulb brightness. This does not allow for the different efficiency in conventional types of lights (i.e. filament bulbs, halogen & fluorescent) and LEDs. This is why light output should be measured in Lumens and not watts.
Thus, the energy industry is now opting to use a more stable as well as widely-accurate unit to measure light intensity commonly known as Lumens.
Lumens (abbreviated as lm) is a measure of light emitted by a lamp/ bulb (but it must be visible with the naked eye). The greater the Lumens number, the brighter the light.
On the other hand, watts don't measure the brightness, rather the amount of electricity used.
The effectiveness of bulbs is expressed in terms of the lumen-to-watt ratio. This is the number of lumens produced for each and every watt consumed.
The rate of conversion of watts to lumens by bulbs varies and is dependent on the technology used. Lighting bulbs producing more L/P (i.e. lumens-per-watt) are cheaper to run since they generate more light and use less power.
LEDs possess the highest L/W ratio—what this means is that they are capable of generating a higher amount of light (from the bulb in question) for relatively little energy.
The introduction of LEDs tremendously reduced power parameter requirement for buyers. This is because you'll be getting a bulb fixture that'll cost you 90% less as far as your electricity bills are concerned. What's more, these bulbs are likely to last longer. Producing less heat as compared to incandescent bulbs helps LEDs to realize a 50,000 hr. lifespan.
So, when shopping around for a replacement lighting bulb, think of lighting fixture that's brighter, longer-lasting, as well as more energy-efficient—the LEDs.
The two measurements can be confusing and are similar. However, they have subtle differences. Lumens are used to measure the amount of light emitted (i.e. the total visible amount of lights from a given source). This is also known as its luminous flux. On the other hand, candelas are used to measure the luminous intensity. It is also important to note that candelas are more predominant in America, while the EU prefer lumens.
LEDs are gaining popularity across the globe because of their unprecedented features. When it comes to a commercial application, nothing can beat the performance of advanced LED panels. Modern LED panels are designed to offer high quality lighting than any other forms of illumination available. As a result, more and more commercial property owners are using LED panels to illuminate their premises.
A wide variety of LED panels are available on the market today. You must choose them according to your lighting needs as well as premises. If you have smaller office, you can go for 600x600mm LED Ceiling Light Panels because they are ideal for offices having smaller space and fit directly in to the ceiling grid. The panels are actually made to be 595x595mm so they fit. However, choose 1200x600mm LED Panels, if you have larger premises to illuminate. Note- both these LED panels have their own advantages. Explore all the specifications and technical details before placing an order.
For commercial premises you will normally need an emergency light which will provide at least 1 lux of light for a minimum of 3 hours. Alternatively, if you have your office in an area, which is prone to frequent power failure or fluctuation, then choose LED light panels that are designed to provide consistent, and flicker free light for hours even after power cut. All you need to do is to buy an emergency battery pack with the LED panel. It will provide uninterrupted light and improve the overall productivity of your business.
You might be aware that the range of colour temperature varies from 2700K to 6500K. In other words, it gives you the liberty to choose the colour temperature according to your working environment. If you have a restaurant or a hotel, choose soft white light because it creates a warm, welcoming and gentle ambiance. In fact, it is also ideal for living and dining rooms. On the other hand, cool white light is perfect for normal offices that require sufficient lighting to perform daily tasks. However, if the nature of work is somewhat precision oriented, you must choose daylight.
If you are remodelling your premises then you have the option to choose thin LED panels. For better result, choose 600x600mm LED panels because they are ultra thin – just 10mm thick, which makes them ideal for commercial applications.
So, consider the above points before buying LED panels. However, it must be noted that it is advisable to order LED panels of different colour temperature and after checking their functionality and output, order them in bulk quantity.
• Quick and economical installation.
• Provide sophisticated and professional look.
• Durable, beautiful and eye-soothing.
• Deliver high quality bright light.
• Functional, non-toxic and eco-friendly.
• Ideal for modern homes as well as offices.
• Flexible, suitable and maintenance free.
• Ensure efficient light output.
• Produce warm and pleasing light.
• Available in multiple designs and styles.
• Perfect for large office space.
• LED panels are compatible and can easily fitted to ceilings.
If your are looking to create the perfect atmosphere for your home, you must choose dimmable LED lights. These lights are specially designed to provide warm and bright light. Today, a wide variety of dimmable LED lights are available on the market. But what about the dimmer modules? Thanks to Varilight, now we have got a wide range of advanced V-PRO Dimmers.
These Varilight V-PRO Dimmers are designed to offer the best possible dimming performance. With the help of Varilight's V-PRO Dimmers, you can easily control dimmable LEDs, dimmable CFLs, electronic low voltage transformers, and much more to make the environment pleasing, cosy and classy.
The Vpro can be purchased in a number of different styles of faceplate to match with the Varilight Product Range. By example there are plain white, the Classic range or the screwless low profile Dimension range. Then within these ranges there is a choice between brushed steel, polished chrome, premium white, black and a number of other finishes which can be selected to match your interior.
Alternatively you can just tale the dimmer modules and fit these into existing dimmer faceplates. This is particularly useful if you are retrofitting an LED dimmer into an old fashioned dimmer which needs upgrading to work with LEDs.
One of the most significant features of Varilight's Z0JP250-P 1G Vpro Dimmer Module is that it provides stable light output. Additionally you can select the mode of your dimmer to match the lights you are dimming. This means you would normally select trailing edge dimming for LEDs and leading edge dimming for other lights.
• Flexible, smart and compatible.
• Provides better dimming control.
• Ideal for optimum dimming.
• Can be switched between trailing edge and leading edge dimming mode.
• The minimum dim level can be set which is particularly useful for LEDs which flicker at low loads.
For installations where the 120w maximum LED load is not sufficient, Varilight have now brought out the MJP300 high powered dimmer module. This has all the benefits of the standard version but will take a load up to 300 watts. This is especially useful for dimming arrays of ceiling lights or even LED panels.
In a number of instances there is the need to have switched light in a multi-gang dimmer plate. The way to accommodate this is to use the Varilight Z0H0 . This has the same visual style as the rotary dimmers but operates as a switch by pushing on and off. This is excellent for non-dimmable LEDs or fluorescent lights which are normally non dimmable.
As it is suitable for a wide variety of halogen and LEDs, you can use them at your home or office according to your requirements. No doubt, you can use dimmable modules to achieve the best possible dimming performance.
People choose different types of dimmable modules from other manufacturers as well; however, they always do not get the expected output, but when it comes to Varilight Z0JP250-P 1G Vpro Dimmer Module, the thing is somewhat different because it has the capacity to provide you with optimum output and ultimate comfort.
On top of that people choose these dimmers because they can be easily adjusted according to their lighting requirements . So, get ready to experiment with Varilight's V-PRO Dimmers.

Where can I use LED strips?
In a previous article we discussed in depth where LED strips can be used in the kitchen, to give ideas and show what it would look like. We are now going to steer away from the kitchen and go into detail of where else LED strips can be used.
The range of uses and places where you can put the strips is so wide; this article however is going to focus on its uses inside the home. The LED tape has a multi-use of both creating light but also creating an atmosphere.
The bedroom may seem like an unlikely place to put the strips but, when used in the right way, they can be very atmospheric. Where would you put LED's in the bedroom to make them atmospheric?
Putting strips in the ceiling cove illuminates the ceiling and reflects back into the room to create natural light. You can also make the bedroom look innovative by using coloured LED's – lighting up the room to whatever colour the LED strip is – complimenting your colour scheme and adding atmosphere!
Make your bed even more of a focal point in your bedroom by using LED's! If you have a head board you can put a strip on the back of that to make it stand out from the wall. Putting LED strips along the skirting of the bed is also effective and almost makes your bed look like its hovering off the floor! With the added possibility of being able to change the colours of the LED's they give a playful and fun feel!
Got a walk in wardrobe? LED's can be ideal in a wardrobe to light up the clothes and make it look more exciting than your bog standard wardrobe. The tape illuminates the clothes and gives better lighting in the wardrobe where it can sometimes be lacking. Depending on the style of your wardrobe doors, LED's can also be used to light the doors and give added effect.
Children's bedrooms are somewhere the use of LED tape can't be wrong! Especially with the LED strips that come in different colours, they add variation, fun and I don't know a child who wouldn't want some in their room! For additional fun, with the controller the colour of the strips can change – your child wouldn't want to leave their room!
Having LED's in the bathroom is a lot more common than you probably think. Due to the availability of being able to get the tape in different levels of water resistance, the LED's are very popular for use in the bathroom because of their versatility.
Your shower can be lit up and become a focal point of your bathroom with LED's. Putting strips at the top and bottom of the skirting of the shower can alter the effect it has. Putting LED's at the top can act as lighting in itself, so would mean you might not necessarily need anything else to light up the shower. To add a little something extra, you can make use of the colour changing LED's and change the colour of your shower depending on your mood.
A bathroom is the one room you would undoubtedly find a mirror! Mirrors have the ability to reflect; they reflect the room and your reflection as you look into them. Reflecting the room can make it look bigger, so if you have a small bathroom, why not put LED tape around the mirror to draw attention to it and help aid the impression of the bathroom being bigger.
No need to make your bathroom look bigger? Why not add a contemporary twist and modern feel to the bathroom by adding LED tape around the edges anyway? It creates an illusion of class while also being practical in improving the light, therefore improving the reflection.
The practicalities of LED strips in a bathroom have similar uses and fittings to those in the kitchen; for example, you could have a cabinet above the sink which can create shadows below, so why not add an LED strip to the bottom of the cabinet to light the sink underneath? For more ideas of the use of LED's with cabinets click here.
Why would you put LED strips on stairs? Why not! The tape is effective in lighting up the stairs, and would reduce the need for there being any other lighting.
These are a small snippet or some of the places you can put LED's strips in your home. No matter what style of house you have or what colour scheme there will undoubtedly be a place you can put an LED strip to make the most of the light and effect they give.
If you have any further questions or would like any more information please get in contact and we will be happy to help! For our range of LED strips and added extras please click here.

KINGS ROW – Erich Wolfgang Korngold
100 GREATEST SCORES OF ALL TIME
Original Review by Craig Lysy
Kings Row continued Erich Wolfgang Korngold's late career transition from period piece and swashbuckling adventure films to adult dramas whose darker tones and complex narratives, which lent themselves well to his operatic writing. Hal Wallis of Warner Brothers saw a powerful social narrative after reading Henry Bellamann's stunning novel Kings Row (1940) and immediately secured film rights. The story follows Parris Mitchell of small town America circa 1900 as he sees the idyllic and pristine veneer of his Midwest town slowly stripped bare before his eyes with a grim and damning commentary, which included sadism, suicide, homosexuality, insanity, euthanasia, and murder. When compared to the novel, the film is tame, as the Hays Code censored most of the more sordid and controversial elements of the plot. Nevertheless the film did find its day in the sun both commercially and critically, earning three Academy Award nominations including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Cinematography. Read more…

THE SEA HAWK – Erich Wolfgang Korngold
Captain Blood (1935) was such a stunning box office success that Warner Brothers Studios decided to follow-up with a second sea faring adventure, which would again feature their dashing swashbuckling hero Errol Flynn. Production delays and script rewrites delayed the film until 1940, however the time was well spent, as the final product was just brilliant, perhaps the greatest swashbuckling film of all time. Korngold was the natural choice for composer and his classic European romantic style was perfectly suited for the film. He always viewed films as an opera libretto for orchestra and sought to create a complex, ornate, and thematically rich contrapuntal soundscape. For The Sea Hawk he created an amazing eleven leitmotifs that fully captured the sea faring, adventure, heroism and pageantry of the Spanish and Elizabethan courts. Read more…

THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD – Erich Wolfgang Korngold
I offer my heartfelt thanks to Anna Bonn, John Morgan and William Stromberg for yet another masterful rerecording of a treasured Golden Age score. Performed by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, the sound quality is superb as is conductor Stromberg's mastery of Korngold's music. This expert team have once again superbly reconstructed and re-recorded the entire score with outstanding quality. This score is a rousing, rich, multi-thematic effort that offers you the regal splendor and gallantry of Medieval England. The story was Errol Flynn's vehicle, and his brash, bold, charismatic and fiercely defiant persona animated the film. Korngold music is perfectly attenuated to his heroic persona and expertly captured his irrepressible spirit. From the fanfare of the Main Title, to the lush Love Theme where the Lady Marian succumbs to his charm, to the epic and culminating Duel, this score is a testimony to Korngold's genius, and mastery of his craft. His countless melodies and fan fares are timeless, peerless, and continue to echo through time. Read more…

ANTHONY ADVERSE – Erich Wolfgang Korngold
Warner Brothers Studio was in the market for a period piece romance and found its inspiration in Harvey Allen's massive 1200 page novel "Anthony Adverse" (1933), paying an amazing $40,000 for the screen rights. Veteran director Mervyn LeRoy was hired to manage the project with Sheridan Gibney and Milton Krims tasked with adapting the mammoth novel for the big screen. The stellar cast included Frederic March as Anthony Adverse, Olivia de Havilland as Angela Giuseppe, Donald Woods as Vincent Nolte, Anita Louise as Maria Bonnyfeather, Edmund Gwenn as John Bonnyfeather and Claude Rains as Marquis Don Luis. Set in late 18th century Italy, the story offers a classic morality tale abounding with treachery, betrayal and misfortune. Maria is in an arranged marriage to the rich and cruel Marquis Don Luis, who is very much her senior. She however is in love with the man her dreams, a young and dashing French Calvary officer with who she becomes pregnant. When the Marquis discovers her dishonor, he kills her lover in a duel, and after she dies in childbirth, leaves her bastard son at a convent. When young Anthony reaches manhood he falls in love and marries his sweetheart Angela. By a twist of fate they become separated, tragically he is bereft at her disappearance while she feels he has abandoned her. As Anthony seeks his fortune overseas Angela rises to become an opera star. Years later when our lovers finally reunite, Anthony discovers that Angela has bore him a son, but she fails to disclose that she is now the famous opera star Mlle. Georges, mistress of Napoleon Bonaparte. When Anthony learns her secret, he is heart-broken and departs for America with his son in search of a better life. The film was a commercial and critical success, earning seven Academy Award nominations, winning four, including Best Original Score. Read more…

In 1935 Warner Brothers Studio sought to bring an epic swashbuckling film to the big screen and William Keighley was hired to direct. Screenwriters Norman Reilly Raine and Seton Miller were brought in to write the script, for which they drew inspiration from the Medieval Robin Hood legends. A stellar cast was assembled including; Errol Flynn (Sir Robin of Locksley AKA Robin Hood), Olivia de Havilland (Lady Marian Fitzwalter), Basil Rathbone (Sir Guy of Gisbourne), Claude Reins (Prince John), Patrick Knowles (Will Scarlett), Eugene Pallette (Friar Tuck), Alan Hale Sr. (Little John) and Melville Cooper (High Sheriff of Nottingham). The story reveals that in 1,191 C.E. King Richard the Lionheart of England has been taken captive by Leopold V, Duke of Austria, as he returned from the Third Crusade. Regretfully his imprisonment provides a pretext for his treacherous brother Prince John to usurp the throne. As a member of the ruling Norman elite, he begins a reign of terror and oppression of the native Saxons, raising taxes supposedly to ransom Richard's freedom, but in reality the money flows into his personal coffers for his own enrichment. Only one nobleman has the conscience to oppose John's duplicity, the Saxon knight Sir Robin of Locksley. At a court dinner he boldly declares that he will do all in his power to oppose John and restore Richard to the throne. For this affront John issues an arrest warrant. With his lands and title now forfeit, Robin assembles a band of "Merry Men" who rob from the rich and provide for the poor. When Lady Marion becomes his prisoner, her initial disdain turns to admiration and then love when she sees Robin's nobility and care for the people. Eventually Robin discovers Richard has returned and devises a plan to overthrow John. He and his men enter Sir Guy's castle dressed as monks and succeed in winning the day, which features an epic duel with Sir Guy. Now vanquished, a contrite John begs for Richard's forgiveness, and is exiled. Richard then pardons the Merry Men, knights Robin as Baron of Locksley and Earl of Sherwood and Nottingham. He then commands Robin to marry his ward, the Lady Marian resulting in a classic happy ending! The film was both a huge commercial success and critical success, earning four Academy Award nominations, winning three, including Best Original Score. Read more…

ERICH WOLFGANG KORNGOLD – Fathers of Film Music, Part 2
Article by Craig Lysy
Born: 29 May 1897, Brünn, Moravia.
Died: 29 November 1957
Erich Wolfgang Korngold was born of Jewish ancestry in the city of Brünn located in the province of Moravia, which was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (and is now Brno in the Czech Republic). He was the second son of renowned music critic Julius Korngold and his wife Josephine. His innate musical gifts manifested early when he played his Cantata "Gold" for composer Gustav Mahler, who was so impressed that he declared him a musical genius. When at age 11 his ballet "Der Schneemann" premiered at the Vienna Court Opera house for Emperor Franz Josef his destiny was set. His parents chose to act on Mahler's recommendations and enrolled Erich to study under the auspices of Alexander von Zemlinsky and Robert Fuchs. To support his education Korngold made live recordings for player piano rolls, some of which survive today. Read more…

THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER – Erich Wolfgang Korngold
The Prince and the Pauper was Mark Twain's first effort to write a historical fiction novel. Director William Keighley had screenwriter Laird Doyle adapt the tale for film and hired swashbuckler star Errol Flynn (Miles Hendon) to head his cast, which included Claude Raines (Lord Hertford) and the twins Billy and Bobby Mauch. The story involves the birth of two boys who share both an uncommon resemblance and destiny: the pauper Tom and prince Edward. As a kid, Tom would often sneak into the palace garden and play with the prince. One day they change clothes with each other and are discovered by the guards, which eject the prince who they assumed, was a pauper. As the two boys struggle with their new lives, King Henry VIII dies leaving Tom under the malevolent control of Lord Hertford the duty of assuming the throne. With the assistance of mercenary Miles Hendon, Edward succeeds in interrupting the coronation and regaining his standing as rightful heir. The film did not achieve critical success but was never the less a commercial success. Read more…

Meat and dairy are out. Plants and water are in.
Those appear to be the biggest takeaways from the newest version of Canada's Food Guide, which was released last week by Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor.
Whole grains, vegetables and fruits are still listed as an integral part of a healthy diet, but the traditional focus on the likes of meat and milk is gone in favour of the broader category of proteins.
There is a specific recommendation that Canadians consume plant-based proteins "more often" and cut down on their intake of processed meats and saturated fats, which can contribute to cancer, diabetes and other diseases.

Uber's great rival Didi has taken the fight to Europe and Africa
Uber by nuclimeditorial via Flickr
Chinese taxi hailing app Didi had already forced Uber to exit China a few years ago.
by Vincent Cross (article) and Milos Kitanovic (video)
August 2, 2017 at 10:31 AM August 2, 2017 at 10:31 AM
Chinese taxi hailing app Didi might have forced Uber to exit from China and brought about the end of one of the most fiercely contested turf wars in recent history, but it seems that it was not the end. According to the latest reports, Didi is now gearing up to compete with Uber in new markets and has made investments to that effect. The new turf war between Uber and Didi is all set to be played out in Europe and Africa.
Uber in trouble?
Didi has invested in the taxi hailing start up Taxify that operated in Europe and Africa and those are markets in which Uber has traditionally been a big player.
However, it might be a bit of a stretch to say that the San Francisco based start up, that is valued at $68 billion will be in deep trouble due to Didi's entry right away. After all, Uber has been in those markets for a considerable period of time and are aware of the lay of the land, as it were. However, there is no doubt that Taxify will be a new entity that will challenge Uber's hegemony in Europe and Africa.
Additionally, Taxify is also going to launch in London, which has also traditionally been one of Uber's most lucrative markets since the US based start up launched in the United Kingdom. The amount that Didi invested in Taxify is yet unknown but according to a report on TechCrunch, it is an 'eight-figure U.S. dollar sum'.
Who are Taxify?
Americans might be wondering what is all the fuss about Taxify after all and they might be right in thinking that, considering the disparity in the size of their operations when compared to Uber. However, Didi's investment in the company should be a cause for concern for Uber. Taxify is based in Estonia and its operations are sprawled across 18 countries, most of which belong to the emerging markets category.
However, its decision to launch in London is an indication that it is looking to rival Uber in mature markets.
At this point in time, Taxify has a user base of 2.5 million and is involved in the same line of business as Uber, which is a matter of concern for Uber. In addition to that, Didi's investment in the company might eventually lead to knowledge sharing that might put Taxify in a position to challenge Uber's dominance in Europe and Africa.
The American start up is currently going through a transition of sorts following the range of controversies that it went through and the eventual ouster of charismatic founder-CEO Travis Kalanick. Didi's decision to back Taxify is a clear indication that the company wants to fight Uber all over the world.

Compensating Those Wrongly Convicted: Another Failure of Our Criminal Injustice System
This morning a blog I follow: Lawyers on Strike, reblogged what I think is an important essay. It is relatively short and I'm going to reblog it here because I believe it raises important issues about the inadequacy of compensation given to those who have been wrongly convicted of felonies and spent significant time in prison. When I first started writing as a guest blogger at Jonathan Turley's blog, more than seven years ago, it was because the issues of the unfairness of America's Justice System and its' impact upon civil liberties was very important to me. In my seven years writing pieces at various sites, Criminal Justice has remained a particularly painful issue for me to deal with. Perhaps this is so because I discovered after his death, that my father was a felon, who spent time in Federal Prison. Learning this brought together certain threads of his life and made me comprehend why life had been so difficult for him. As best as I can tell my father was probably guilty as accused and his prison time was "only" 18 months, in a Federal Prison Farm. Yet for the 20 years that he lived after his release, the fact that he had been a convicted felon negatively affected whatever he success might have had in his life. My father's crime was a "White Collar" crime involving harm to no one, but in our society time in prison was not enough punishment and the stigma stays with a person until death.
When it comes to those unjustly convicted of felonies, who've spent many years in much harsher prison conditions, what compensation should they be due for time spent horrifically and the shattering of their lives? We have seen in recent years literally hundreds of stories of people wrongly convicted, set free after many years, who return to a world changed radically. We in America incarcerate more people per capita than any other nation in the world. We jail more people of color percentage wise than Whites found guilty of the same criminal activity. We pursue an insane "War on Drugs," that thrives on low level convictions and yet stands helpless when it comes to the leaders of drug cartels. The final touch though, is that our criminal justice system itself is corrupt, as I've written about it in
https://elephanttail.wordpress.com/2015/12/04/the-law-is-a-whore/
https://elephanttail.wordpress.com/2016/02/20/the-law-is-a-whore-redux/
. Actually, if you click Criminal Justice , you will find that I've written thirty one pieces altogether that touch on the unfairness of the American Criminal Justice System.
With all that I've written, very little deals with actual accounts by those wrongly convicted. What follows, in its entirety, is a piece written by a formerly wrongly convicted felon, who after his release became a lawyer whose main interest is in freeing other wrongly convicted people. At the Marshall Project, he writes poignantly about another wrongly convicted felon and his friend, who recently killed himself because his readjustment to society, after 20 lost years, was just too damn hard. This piece raises the issue of what is just compensation paid to people after decades are stolen from their lives through wrongful convictions. I must emphasize that from my perspective, almost all wrongful convictions are the result of prosecutorial and police collaboration to clear their cases, without regard to the guilt or innocence of the accused. Please read the following, it's a short, but cogent essay and then please comment on what you think a just system of compensation would be:
Oops, We Took 20 Years of Your Life by Mistake. Have a Nice Day.
The recent and tragic suicide of my friend and fellow exoneree Darryl Hunt is a stark reminder that no monetary compensation can make up for the psychological toll of wrongful conviction. When a wrongfully convicted person is released from prison, it's often to a throng of reporters clamoring to capture images of an emotional reunion with his smiling family and friends, and lawyers. These images instill a sense of vindication and a happy ending. But what is too often unseen is how difficult it is to re-enter society after years or decades of confinement — especially if you are innocent. These are the unseen scars, and too many states pay them inadequate attention, or none at all.
In 1984, when he was 19, Darryl, an African-American man, was convicted of a crime he didn't commit, the rape and murder of a young white woman in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on the basis of a tentative eyewitness identification and the pressured testimony of a girlfriend who later recanted. It was a racially charged trial. Darryl consistently professed his innocence, even refusing a plea that would have set him free years before his 2004 exoneration. After DNA evidence exonerated him, Darryl had to file a lawsuit to win compensation; he was awarded a settlement of $1.7 million in 2007. North Carolina has since updated its compensation statute to provide job-training and college tuition for exonerated inmates, but compensation is now capped at $750,000, an inadequate amount for someone who paid for another man's crime with 20 years of his life.
Darryl would later found the Darryl Hunt Project for Freedom and Justice to help the wrongfully convicted and he recently attended a Department of Justice "listening session", at which he discussed the need for comprehensive medical assistance and Social Security for exonerees. Despite this advocacy, Darryl struggled to put back together the pieces of his own life.
I saw Darryl regularly at the annual Innocence Network Conference, a gathering of innocence organizations from around the country and world. Each time that we met, he would tell me how proud he was of me for becoming an attorney. We talked about our struggles and my frustration that Wisconsin has still not provided me compensation. (Of the 30 states with compensation statutes, Wisconsin's law is one of the worst, with a high barrier to eligibility and a lifetime cap of $25,000, regardless of the number of years served.) These conversations made me grateful that I had come home at 26, a much younger man than Darryl, and still had a reasonable chance to put my life back together. I had been mentored by a fellow inmate who urged me to study my case and the law while in prison. When my conviction for sexual assault was discredited — with the help of the Wisconsin Innocence Project — after eight years of incarceration, I went to community college and then earned a law degree from Loyola University Chicago. My story is extraordinary and is not a validation of the ethos of pulling oneself up by the bootstraps. Yes, I worked very hard to get where I am, but luck and youth had a whole lot more to do with it. Many exonerees, like Darryl, come home in their 40s or older, and most are not as lucky as I was.
Lucky or not, we all find ourselves mentally battered from fighting to get out, to re-enter society and win compensation. Before prison, I was a 17-year-old who enjoyed cookouts and holidays with aunts and uncles. When I came home, many of those aunts and uncles were near death, and new family members had been born who knew me only as a face in a picture or a voice on the other end of a prison phone call.
In the months following my exoneration, I suffered from depression, anger and confusion. How could a system that reversed my conviction leave me with nothing – not even a mental or physical evaluation? I was released with no secondary education, no job training, no credit, no savings, no health insurance and no way to explain to future employers the 10-year-gap in my resume. My struggle was difficult at my age, but I can only imagine how disheartening it must be to win exoneration and come home at the age of retirement with absolutely nothing. Yet 20 stateshave no statute assuring that people wrongfully deprived of their freedom are helped back into society and compensated for the stolen years.
It is only fair and humane that every state provide the exonerated with reentry services such as education, job training, healthcare and other social services, and enact robust compensation statutes. In 2004, Congress and President Bush recommended compensation of $50,000 per year of unjust incarceration, and up to double that for years spent on death row. Adjusted for inflation, that is $63,000. It's a small price to pay for a profound injustice. The unseen scars can never be fully healed; nonetheless, society has a moral responsibility to treat them.
Jarrett Adams, J.D. was wrongfully convicted of a sexual assault. After his release he earned a law degree and is now clerking in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York.

Q: Is (pure) functional programming antagonistic with "algorithm classics"? The classic algorithm books (TAOCP, CLR) (and not so classic ones, such as the fxtbook)are full of imperative algorithms.  This is most obvious with   algorithms whose implementation is heavily based on arrays, such as combinatorial generation (where both array index and array value are used in the algorithm) or the union-find algorithm.
The worst-case complexity analysis of these algorithms depends on array accesses being O(1).  If you replace arrays with array-ish persistent structures, such as Clojure does, the array accesses are no longer O(1), and the complexity analysis of those algorithms is no longer valid.
Which brings me to the following questions: is pure functional programming incompatible with the classical algorithms literature?

A: With respect to data structures, Chris Okasaki has done substantial research into adopting classic data structures into a purely functional setting, as many of the standard data structures no longer work when using destructive updates.  His book "Purely Functional Data Structures" shows how some structures, like binomial heaps and red/black trees, can be implemented quite well in a functional setting, while other basic structures like arrays and queues must be implemented with more elaborate concepts.
If you're interested in pursuing this branch of the core algorithms, his book would be an excellent starting point.

A: The short answer is that, so long as the algorithm does not have effects that can be observed after it finishes (other than what it returns), then it is pure. This holds even when you do things like destructive array updates or mutation.
If you had an algorithm like say:
function zero(array):
    ix <- 0
    while(ix < length(array)):
       array[ix] <- 0
       ix <- ix+1
    return array

Assuming our pseudocode above is lexically scoped, so long as the array parameter is first copied over and the returned array is a wholly new thing, this algorithm represents a pure function (in this case, the Haskell function fmap (const 0) would probably work). Most "imperative" algorithms shown in books are really pure functions, and it is perfectly fine to write them that way in a purely functional setting using something like ST.
I would recommend looking at Mercury or the Disciple Disciplined Compiler to see pure languages that still thrive on destruction.

A: You may be interested in this related question: Efficiency of purely functional programming.

is there any problem for which the best known non-destructive algorithm is asymptotically worse than the best known destructive algorithm, and if so by how much?

A: It is not. But it is true that one can see in many book algorithms that look like they are only usable in imperative languages.  The main reason is that pure functional programming was restrained to academic use for a long time.  Then, the authors of these algorithms strongly relied on imperative features to be in the mainstream.  Now, consider two widely spread algorithms: quick sort and merge sort.  Quick sort is more "imperative" than merge sort; one of its advantage is to be in place.  Merge sort is more "pure" than quick sort (in some way) since it needs to copy and keep its data persistent.  Actually many algorithm can be implemented in pure functional programming without losing too much efficiency.  This is true for many algorithms in the famous Dragon Book for example.

At the moment all our diving is limited to shore dives because there is a problem with the licenses of dive boats in Sogwipo. The Korean coast guard says that the permit of those boats which divers have been using for the last 40 years does not cover diving. As a consequence all diving operations involving boats are shut down at the moment. This is true for all dive shops. We are working on a solution but please understand that I do not know when this situation will change.
Most of our shore dives are from Sogwipo harbor eastern breakwater which is a good dive site with an easy access to the water and much interesting marine life. Typically you can see octopus, flounder, horse makrel, amberjack, red seabream, butterflyfish, bluestriped angelfish, nudibranch ... Visibility has been at 15meters during this last week.
