IndyForum: Reno developer warns electeds not to let region become 'Reno, California'
The Nevada Independent Editor Jon Ralston hosts a forum on development and growth in Reno with Blockchains CEO Jeffrey Berns, Reno Land CEO Chip Bowlby and Brian Bonnenfant, project manager for the Center for Regional Studies, on Wednesday, May 8, 2019 at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa. (David Calvert/The Nevada Independent)
Major Reno developer Chip Bowlby said Wednesday that the "world is our oyster right now in Reno," comparing it to Austin, Texas "back in the day." But he also warned the opportunity is "ours to lose, and it's our City Council to screw it up as well."
Bowlby's comments came during an hour-long IndyForums discussion Wednesday hosted by The Nevada Independent at Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno and moderated by Editor Jon Ralston. The developer suggested that the municipal governments often gets in their own way when approving projects.
The panel, which focused on the challenges of regional growth, also included Blockchains CEO Jeffrey Berns and Brian Bonnenfant, project manager for UNR's Center for Regional Studies. Throughout the panel discussion, the conversation returned often to the role of government in planning the region's future.
When asked about government's responsibility, Bowlby said: "The only thing I can say about Reno City Council, Sparks or Washoe County is get out of your way. Make things happen."
Bowlby said that meant they should not become "Reno, California" to applause in the room, noting the Golden State's many regulations, such as the California Environmental Quality Act, known as CEQA.
"Be proactive in what's coming," he said. "Be a solution. Don't be a problem. And don't stop growth. And I don't mean grow quickly. I mean sustainable growth that's smart growth."
He specifically referenced litigation over Meridian 120 South, a project Bowlby's company, Reno Land Inc., is developing. Last year, the council affirmed its planning commission's technical denial of maps for 78 homes in the project after a judge's temporary restraining order.
"Why would you do that," he asked. "We need housing. We need growth. We need all this stuff."
Where Bowlby was critical of local government, Berns said he sought to create a new one. The cryptocurrency millionaire, whose Blockchains purchased about 67,000 acres at the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center in January, aims to create a desert utopia he said would usher in "the age of collaboration," decentralize powerful institutions and empower individual voices.
On a chunk of land about the size of Reno, Berns has said the company would pilot blockchain technology, which uses a decentralized public ledger as a backbone for software applications. But Berns is interested in incorporating blockchains into the infrastructure of daily life. He told The New York Times in November that the site could become a community with houses and schools that incorporate blockchain. Although he conceded that reality would take time to build — and involved a level of risk — Nevada utility regulators have approved the company to serve as a telecommunications provider. It has partnered with other Nevada organizations on projects.
On Wednesday, Berns said the problem with government is that "we don't believe that we all play by the same rules." He said that there was not enough transparency in government.
"Our goal for Innovation Park and our smart city is to have a transparent government system, where everybody knows the rules," Berns said. "Everybody agrees to those rules. Everybody sees those rules being enforced, and there isn't this back-gaming of the system."
No plans have been presented an official plan to Storey County, he said. But Blockchains has a unique opportunity, he said, because it was building a smart city from the ground up rather than adding technology, such as sensors, to existing infrastructure like roads and traffic lights.
"I would estimate that we will likely break ground on our vault next year late in the year," Berns said. "We will probably break ground on the smart city somewhere closer to 2022."
For keeping data safe, Berns said in November that it had planned to build a nuclear-bomb resistant bunker. Berns also said it was purchasing or buying space in other facilities.
With the development of the industrial center, Bonnenfant noted that the region is no longer contained in Washoe County but includes some of Northern Nevada's surrounding areas, including towns such as Fernley. He said the obstacle now was to build out infrastructure.
"We need to invest in those communities to the East and South, so we can put housing there," Bonnenfant said. "You're talking water, sewer, police, fire, schools."
But he added that "these are good problems to have."
Income inequality and affordable housing, Bonnenfant said, remain issues for the region, as they do in many cities. He added that some governmental efforts, including housing bills sponsored by Sen. Julia Ratti and the Sage Street housing project, could address those issues.
Bonnenfant also said it was important for governments to take quality of life into consideration, emphasizing the importance of protecting open space, trails and other outdoor activities.
"You've got to keep this area with the good quality of life that we have now," he said to applause.
Bowlby said he was optimistic about the designation of Opportunity Zones in several census tracts throughout the region. Created in 2017 as part of the federal tax bill, the zones allow homebuilders and investors to get incentives for building and developing businesses in low-income or rural areas. Although the tax break was pushed through as part of the Republican tax bill, it has received bipartisan support, including from progressives such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
When asked about the importance of regional planning, Bowlby said: "If we do not solve the housing problem for the companies like Blockchains, the companies that are here will not continue to grow and move out. The companies that are looking here will not come in here."
"Like I said, the world is our oyster," he added. "Why would we not want to engage with City Council, regional planning, with Washoe County?… It's ours to lose. It is."
Bowlby said he was working with Berns on projects that are "going to be epic," but joked he could not disclose those projects without getting nondisclosure agreements from the audience.
"This has not started yet in Reno," he said. "It has not started."

'The Missing: Limited Series' on Blu-ray & DVD April 14th 2015
January 21st, 2015 by Gerard Iribe
When five year-old Oliver Hughes disappears while on holiday in France, it sets off a nearly decade-long search for his whereabouts. "The Missing," a STARZ Limited Series, is a dramatic thriller that takes you inside the mind of a father, Tony (played by James Nesbitt of The Hobbit trilogy and Jekyll), desperate to locate his lost son. With help from a legendary detective (played by Tchéky Karyo of Goldeneye and The Patriot), Tony embarks on an obsessive quest to find his son and those responsible for his disappearance. A gripping puzzle with twists and turns at every stage, Tony's exhaustive search fractures his relationship with his wife, Emily (played by Frances O'Connor of "Mr. Selfridge" and A.I.: Artificial Intelligence), and threatens to destroy his life. Told through a complex narrative, "The Missing" unfolds over two time frames simultaneously.

"The Obamas" – A Look Inside The First Family's Marriage?
New York Times journalist Jodi Kantor's new book,"The Obamas," purports to reveal the inner workings of the first family's relationship.
But is it ever really possible to get inside someone's marriage — especially that of the President and First Lady?
Given that Kantor didn't interview the Obamas for her book, (though she says she has previously spoken to both Michelle and Barack about their marriage), it's unclear how much this tell-all will truly reveal (the book hits stores on January 10).
"The Obamas" has already garnered criticism from several corners. David Remnick of The New Yorkerwote: "Such books regard more earnest matters like history, context, and ideas the way a child looks at a plate of Brussels sprouts." The Washington Post criticized Kantor for discounting the importance of getting an interview with the Obamas for her book. CLICK HERE to read more.

Q: Making Materialize CSS Tooltips stay when hovering over them A piece I'm currently working on is calling for tooltips that display when you hover over part of an SVG element, disappear as normal on mouse-out but providing the mouse does not go over the tooltip itself. We are using Materialize CSS which does come with a tooltip component.
A segment of my code is below.
<svg width="400" height="400">
    <rect x="190" y="255" width="70" height="25" class="fixture good tooltipped" id="ines" data-position="top" data-delay="50" data-tooltip="Carbonated Drinks
View More"" data-html="true"/>
</svg>

As you can see, the reason I want this is so that the user can click the 'View more' link if they mouse onto the actual tooltip. Currently, however, the tooltips disappear even if you mouse onto them.
I know this can be done with other frameworks/libararies, but I have been unable to do this in Materialize CSS so far.
Does anyone know if this is possible as an extensive internet search has turned up nothing.

A: Materialize tooltip assign a "mouseleave.tooltip" event handler for each involved dom node.
This event is triggered as soon as you will leave the dom element, and after 225 milliseconds (for details refer to source code) the tootip will be hidden.
Moreover, the tooltip has the style pointer-events equal to none: no mouse event can be triggered, so your anchor will be never clickable.
In order to overcome all these steps a possibility is:

*

*save the jQuery mouseout event object

*remove the previous object from the jQuery handlers so no mouseleave.tooltip can be triggered.

*handle the jQuery hover event for each tooltip (having class: material-tooltip): this to save a property in order to test against the mouse position in or out the tooltip

*on mouseenter for your element set the pointer-events to default auto

*in the same way on mouseleave set a timeout less than 225 milliseconds in order to test if the mouse is over the tooltip: if not execute the standard jQuery materialize mouseleave.tooltip event

*on mouseleave the tooltip do the same step in the previous point.

The snippet (jsfiddle):

$(function () {

    var x = jQuery._data( document.getElementById('ines'), "events" )['mouseout'][0];
    delete jQuery._data( document.getElementById('ines'), "events" )['mouseout'];
    $('.material-tooltip').hover(function(e) {
        $(this).attr('hover', 1);
    }, function(e) {
        $(this).attr('hover', 0);
        x.handler.apply( document.getElementById('ines'), x);
    });
    $('#ines').on('mouseenter', function(e) {
        $('.material-tooltip:visible').css('pointer-events', 'auto');
    }).on('mouseleave', function(e) {
        setTimeout(function() {
            var val = $('.material-tooltip:visible').attr('hover');
            if (val == undefined || val == 0) {
                x.handler.apply( document.getElementById('ines'), x);
            }
        }, 150);
    })

});

Rian Treanor: Ataxia (2LP, Planet Mu, March 2019)
April 23, 2019 April 23, 2019 dograndoLeave a comment
This is pretty exciting. The sound palette is heavily rave-inspired, but the methodology is all glitch. The drums are glitchy; the punchy little synth melodies are mostly glitchy; on the handful of tracks that have synthesized or sampled vocals, they are glitchy. (One minor quibble I have with this record is that, if the title is a reference to the experience of trying to dance to it, I think it's in slightly poor taste.) This is the sort of thing that can become pretty grating pretty quickly if it's not executed well, but here it is done excellently. To pick a random highlight, I love the aggressively cut-up vocal part on track B2, and the way it counterpoints with the drum line is just spot on… there are many moments like this. Like the brilliantly fractured hardcore of D1, complete with Juno-esque chord stabs and squeaky bat-fart noises. Superb stuff.
I bought this from Juno. They call it Experimental / Electronic.

This one from William Jourdaine is super hard to categorize. According to the blurb, 'the sonic material is all sourced from the field, with recordings captured in the forests and caves of rural Quebec, along with ex-urban "non-places", and various waiting rooms'. This seems to have gone through a whole load of modular synth gear and been 'rendered through generative and probability-based digital patches'. The result is has an analogue-sounding warmth and a digital-sounding glitchiness. It burbles and stutters along at a nice tempo, though I'd characterize it more as a pulse than a beat. Jourdaine manipulates his material with great skill: there's always something new happening, new sounds and textures either evolving slowly or bursting into the mix abruptly, but there isn't a jarring moment on the record. Keeping things this interesting with a palette while making every new element sound so natural and right is a rare talent. This is one that demands repeated careful listenings — and rewards them richly.
I bought this from Boomkat. They call it Basic Channel / Dub Techno, Electronic.

I want you to imagine a giant robot, lost in a world it does not understand, holding a more aleatoric Morton Subotnick in one hand and a noisier Autechre in the other hand and trying to figure out how they work, while the mad scientist who built this poor creature plays fragments of The Caretaker and Stars Of The Lid to try to sooth it. That's not what this record sounds like, but it's the best I've got, so let's go with it. There are walls of buzzing noises, torrents of blips and pops, and echoes of sad, droning melodies. There are also surprising moments of subtle beauty. Can a perfectly positioned and executed click be beautiful? I don't know what weird mind tricks it's playing, but this album makes me think the answer is yes.
I bought this from the label.

Kyoka: Is (Is Superpowered) (CD, Raster-Noton, May 2014)
It was looking for a moment there like I wasn't going to get a single 2014 release from the wonderful Raster-Noton. But only because I nearly forgot about this little gem from the summer. Which would be rubbish, because this is fab. It's got that precision-engineered glitch we expect from the label, but it's also crammed with infectious beats and catchy tunes, and makes great use of her cut-up vocals, hovering just the other side of language and all the better for it. There are so many moments which just make me grin every time I hear them: the interplay between her vocals and the awesome toasting on Lined Up, the daft squeaky melody which turns up two thirds of the way through the rumbling Rot Neu, and the way that Re-Pulsion somehow makes me think of a R&B track that's been syncopated to within an inch of its life. But my highlight has to be Piezo Version Vision, a sort of industrial hardcore number that smashes together a pummeling beat, a big roaring noise, a bunch of squeaky noises, a fantastically catch glitched-up snare fill, a vocal that sounds a bit like someone trying to play a didgeridoo while operating a pneumatic drill, and a brilliant chipmunky rave vocal… and slices and dices them into something utterly exhilarating. I can imagine this absolutely destroying the right kind of dancefloor. Hell, if I knew anywhere playing this kind of stuff, it might be enough to make me go clubbing again. For me, this is the most exciting dance music record of 2014 (and this was the year that the new Aphex Twin album appeared).
I bought this from Juno. They call it Techno, which seems a bit arbitrary.

Ryoji Ikeda: Supercodex (CD, Raster-Noton, November 2013)
February 6, 2014 dograndoLeave a comment
I got hold of Ryoji Ikeda's 1995 debut album 1000 Fragments when it was re-released by Raster-Noton in 2008. I liked it, but I didn't love it, and I hadn't really paid him much attention since then. That changed at the 2013 todaysart festival, where his test pattern performance tore the atrium of Den Haag town hall apart. Lying back in that fantastic space, it was like he'd filled the room with giant crystalline insects. According to my notes from the time (well, okay, twitter) it was like "Leafcutter ants snicking with their snippers and deathwatch beetles drumming". This is obviously brilliant, and it was the highlight of a great festival. So when I saw he had a new record out, I figured I'd give it a go. And here we are. I am pleased to report that the insects are still in attendance, and in fine form. The effect on CD is rather less dominating, and certainly less physical, than his audiovisual live act. In fact, for music made pretty much entirely out of clicks and superficial resembling binary data on tape, it's really rather playful — quite refreshing given how much doom-laden bass-heavy stuff is coming out right now. With 20 tracks making up its 65 minutes, it moves on at a fair lick, and he manages to do 20 recognizably different things, which is impressive. The effect of the interplay between the intersecting glitchy rhythm is always involving and often pretty catchy. It's taken a few listens to really get into it, but right now I'm finding it kinda addictive. Now, I must go back and revisit 1000 Fragments.

I have talked before of the poppy side of Raster-Noton. This record fits that description rather more literally: its glitches are funky, its tracks recognizably songs, and there are real lyrics sung by real people (heavily processed, yes, but then that seems to be normal in today's autotuned industry). Of course, this is still noted awkwardist Uwe Schmidt, so it's too spiky to trouble the charts, and it's all done very knowingly. He's playing a dangerous game here: this sort of irony can easily become irksome, and with tracks like Stop (Imperialist Pop) he could be accused of wanting to have his cake and eat it. The cover/remix of My Generation (presumably chosen partly on the basis that Roger Daltrey's stuttering vocal was an early experiment in glitch) also doesn't quite work for me: it's just too faithful to the original, at least until the end where instead of descending into a howl of distorted guitars it gets consumed by layers of buzzing electronics. On the whole, though, I like this: I'm a sucker for that precisely articulated Raster sound, and it really is very catchy.
Autechre: Exai (CD, Warp, February 2013)
March 20, 2013 dograndoLeave a comment
Shortly after buying this, I got an email saying that they'd discovered a glitch in the 24-bit WAV download of the track T ess xi. I'm afraid to say, my reaction echoed that of Dorothy Parker on hearing of the death of Calvin Coolidge: how can they tell? (I say this from a place of love.)
The first thing to notice about Exai is that it is a little over two hours long. As is their habit, Rochdale's finest reject anything approximating a traditional structure, and make countless abrupt changes in direction, with a logic so skewed that it's pretty much indistinguishable from chance. Consequently, I find it pretty much impossible to take in this album as a whole: it works as a kind of immersive experience, but I can't put it into words. For the purposes of these notes, therefore, I'm going to employ a kind of critical synecdoche, and talk about just one track: for no particular reason, I'm opting for irlite (get 0). So. It starts with a kind of backwards-funky bass squelch, in which the rhythm drops out moments before the resolution. There is an extended glitch work-out, which (as I have remarked of their work before) seems to be the opposite of propulsive, an assemblage of elements where somehow everything lags behind everything else. There seems to be more low-end than Autechre have had in a while: I find myself wondering whether they are actually being a tiny bit on-trend here? Halfway through, everything fades away to leave a hollow ringing tone. We get an alternate version of the intro again. And then, lo and behold, we get something which is undeniably a melody. Somewhere in the distance, creeping out between those rumbling polyrhythms there's a little lost '80s synth pop tune, quite cheerfully going about it's business. And then, ten minutes in, and without warning, it stops. And the next track starts. Well, I'm not sure that made sense, but somehow I can't help coming back to listen to it over and over again, so it must be doing something right.
I bought this from Bleep.

This came out at the high-point of what I am, rather facilely, going to refer to as Raster-Noton's clicks'n'bass period, released in the same month as Alva Noto's univrs. Following in the pattern of 2010's Death Of A Typographer, Byetone continues to represent the poppier side of the label, as far as it goes, with some of the catchiest machine-tooled glitch rhythms going. Or perhaps clubbier would be a more accurate term — I could see the awesomely mashed snarling of, say, Helix destroying the right kind of dance floor (possibly literally). Add in some truly monstrous low-end and the result is filthy and fantastic. (Incidentally, album closer Golden Elegy is a rare RN vocal track — but, this being RN, the vocals in question are a rather stern-sounding German guy reciting poetry. My German is close to non-existent, but I'm pretty sure I caught the phrase "kapitalistischer schweingeld", which should give you flavour.)
I bought this from Amazon, because I couldn't find it anywhere else convenient, sorry.

Uh-oh, the king of glitch has got the bass bug. This is ostensibly a follow up to 2008's unitxt. I think it's fair to say that this is an altogether dirtier affair. The ultra-precision clicks, blips, and edits are all present and correct, but there's something grindingly industrial running underneath everything here. The tone is quite varied, ranging from the sinisterly atmospheric to the almost catchy (well, if you're in the mood to let yourself be caught). Maybe he's picked up a couple of tricks from RN contributors like Senking or from his collaborations with Ryoji Ikeda… but nobody is like Carsten Nicolai when it comes to constructing a sound which is perfectly mechanical and yet has such a visceral human connection.

Anne-James Chaton: Événements 09 (CD, Raster Noton, March 2011)
December 27, 2011 dograndoLeave a comment
I first encountered the French avant-garde "sound poet" Anne-James Chaton on Alva Noto's unitxt: he features in the phenomenal opening track, apparently reading out all the serial numbers he can find in Carsten Nicolai's wallet. This CD is essentially the logical continuation of that idea. The only (I think) sound here is Chaton's voice, this time apparently reading news reports of important events of 2009 along with other texts (like the terms and conditions on train tickets) associated with those dates. This is processed relatively gently, but then cut up and sequenced to within an inch of its life, so we end up with a pounding rhythmic assault entirely fitting with the glitchier end of Raster Noton's catalogue. With repetition, the words quickly lose their meaning, and become rhythm and sound. I've been fascinated by this sort of thing for ages — I remember being blown away when I first heard Prefuse 73's Estrocaro EP in 2000, for example — so this is right up my street. It does help that Chaton is French, which makes it all sound, well, foreign (such as when he places the accent on the first syllable of Barack Obama's surname), and of course also that bit more cool. I find it hypnotic and compulsive. If this all sounds a bit earnest, it shouldn't: marking the passing of Michael Jackson, he loops "pop is dead" a dozen times before completing the phrase with "the king of pop is dead", deadpan but clearly (surely?) with his tongue in his cheek. The only problem I have with this record is that it does lead to some very strange ear-worms.

Last winter I wrote an article on Matty Alou and Manny Mota, focusing on the three years (1966-1968) during which they formed a center field platoon for the Pittsburgh Pirates. You can read the story here, but the short version is that they were good friends (growing up some 10 miles from each other in the Dominican), who were born in 1937, signed with the Giants in 1957, were natural center fielders blocked by the best center fielder who ever lived, and eventually found themselves together again with the Pirates in 1966.
They were also remarkably similar players – free swingers with very little power, who, in the offense-starved 1960s, could be valuable if they could hit .300. In 1966, they did just that – Alou hit .342, and won the National League batting title, while Mota hit .332 and would have finished second had he had enough plate appearances to qualify. Please forgive the use of old-school statistics here, but their batting averages are what made this a big story in 1966, the focus of national newspaper and magazine stories.
Beyond their quality, what struck me about this platoon was how strictly Pirates manager Harry Walker adhered to it. When the Pirates faced a right-handed starter, Alou started 119 of 122 games. When the Pirates faced a lefty, Mota started 38 of 40 games.
I define a Platoon Score as the percentage of games in which a two-person platoon was properly deployed. The Alou-Mota Platoon Score is 157/162, or (as a percentage) 97.
I wondered how unusual this was, to employ a platoon in 97 percent of a team's games? Had any platoon ever finished at 100 percent? To help answer these questions, I asked Retrosheet's Tom Ruane to provide me some data and (as usual) he came through. Because Retrosheet's lineup data go back to 1908, my study covers 1908-2017, 110 seasons.
For the purposes of my study, I define a platoon as a two-person single-position job share in which a left-handed hitter starts against right-handed pitchers, and a right-handed hitter starts against left-handed pitchers. I am looking at starting lineups, so what happens the rest of the game does not matter. I am looking at positions in isolation, so I do not care what a player does on his day off – he might platoon at catcher but play center field on his "off" days. I allow a switch-hitter to hold down one half of a platoon – his starts against the "other" handed pitchers would not count as complying with the platoon.
A Perfect Platoon is a platoon that achieves a perfect score – the two players are properly platooned for every game the entire season. A Full Time Platoon requires a Platoon Score of 80, and further requires that each half of the platoon is employed in 80 percent of the appropriate games.
Let me explain the last requirement with an example. The 1956 Dodgers, with their legendary lineup mostly filled with right-handed hitters, faced a right-handed starter in 140 of 154 games, with Duke Snider (their lone left-handed-hitting regular) getting the call 137 times. In the 14 games the Dodgers faced a lefty, Carl Furillo happened to start three times. The Snider-Furillo pair therefore had a Platoon Score of 140/154, or 91.
This was obviously not a platoon; this was just Snider getting a day off once in a while. Using my modification, Furillo would have had to start 11 of the 14 games against left-handers, which I suggest would have been recognized as a platoon, albeit an unbalanced one.
As you know, the left-handed-hitting half of a platoon will get most of the starts, usually between 65 and 75 percent. As it turns out, there has been quite a bit of variance over the years.
Years ago there was quite a bit of variance among teams – the 1950s Dodgers rarely saw a left-handed starter, while the 1949 Cardinals (which featured Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter) saw a lefty starter in 60 percent of their games. Today, teams rarely move their starters around based on the opponent, so platoons tend to have more predictable balance.
Has there ever been a Perfect Platoon? No, as it happens. In fact, only three times in major league history has a team had the platoon advantage every game at a position without the use of a switch-hitter, but all of these involved more than two players.
As I am looking for a two-person platoon, none of these job shares qualify as perfect.
Lowering the bar, how about a Full-time Platoon, with two players playing 80 percent of the games against the appropriate starters? Since 1908, there have been 136 Full Time Platoons in 108 seasons, a little more than one a year.
What elements do you need to maintain a qualifying platoon?
The manager has to have the confidence to commit to the platoon early and stick with it.
Both players need to remain healthy and effective. Alou and Mota each got banged up and missed a couple of games, but nothing serious, and obviously they played well.
The players at other potential landing spots need to play well also. In the Pirates case, left fielder Willie Stargell and right fielder Roberto Clemente had outstanding seasons – both easily outhit the center fielders – so Harry Walker had no obvious place to move Alou or Mota.
You need a large enough roster. Teams today generally have three or four players on the bench, making roster construction much more difficult than it used to be.
For these 136 Full Time Platoons, what positions were most often involved?
The most common platoon position has been catcher, which makes some sense. Catcher is the one position where the starter cannot player every day, so if you find a left-handed-hitting catcher who can hit, he would start about 110-120 games. Catchers have qualified 37 times in this study.
Philadelphia platooned catchers Smoky Burgess and Stan Lopata for three straight years starting in 1952. They were the first pair to qualify for three years, a feat not matched again for another 30 years.
What era has had the most platoons?
The use of platoons gradually increased after World War II, before exploding in the late 1970s for a decade, and then slowly receding again.
The first platoon (my data start in 1908) came in 1909 with Tigers catchers Boss Schmidt and Oscar Stanage.
What managers have used Full Time Platoons the most often?
Tris Speaker stands out here because he platooned when no one else was doing it. In fact, his platoons represent five of the first 10 qualifiers.
Bobby Cox is most famous for his long successful run with the Braves in the 1990s and 2000s, but most of his platooning was done when he managed the Blue Jays for four years in the early 1980s. This stint included the two longest duration platoons in big league history.
Mulliniks and Iorg platooned for Cox's entire tenure in Toronto. Whitt and Martinez nearly did the same – in 1985 they had a perfect score until July 9, when Martinez broke his leg on a collision at home plate with the Mariners' Phil Bradley. Martinez missed the rest of the season, but returned the next year to qualify with Whitt again, albeit now playing for manager Jimy Williams.
Remarkably, Cox employed three platoons in 1984. In reality, Bell was a full-time player – he played the rest of the time in right field, sharing the job with Jesse Barfield. In effect Collins platooned with Barfield, but my somewhat arbitrary definition considers the positions independently, and sees the platoon in left field but not in right field (because both Bell and Barfield were right-handed hitters).
The Blue Jays were a good team throughout his period, making all of this platooning a matter of discussion during national TV broadcasts and in newspapers.
The best player who was ever part of a Full Time Platoon was undoubtedly Stan Musial, who platooned with Chuck Diering in center field for the 1949 Cardinals. The Cards faced a right-handed starter 69 times, and Musial started in center 68 of those. When they faced a lefty, Musial started every day in right field. If you wish to say this is bogus, that it was actually the other guys (Chuck Diering and Ron Northey) who were platooning, I will accept your logic. Musial's involvement seems historically interesting and is consistent with my definition.
Musial aside, there have been four other Full Time Platoons involving a future Hall of Famer, and all of them are interesting in their own way.
1965 Reds first base: Gordy Coleman and Tony Perez. Perez was at the very start of his career, and got the short half of this job share.
1982 Red Sox designated hitter: Carl Yastrzemski and Tony Perez. Two Hall of Famers, both in their early 40s, and both still hit enough to deserve roles.
1985 Reds first base: Pete Rose (age 44) and Tony Perez (43). Perez again, this time platooning with his own manager, who was going after Ty Cobb's hit record. Kudos to Rose, who stuck with the platoon and never once started himself against a left-hander.
2009 Mariners designated hitter: Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Sweeney. Near the end of Junior's long, sad decline.
I mentioned earlier that no pair of players had ever pulled off the Perfect Platoon. So, who came the closest? Three pairs fell two games short of perfection.
1972 Phillies second base: Denny Doyle and Terry Harmon. On July 1, Harmon played against a right-hander, and on September 30, Mike Schmidt (a few weeks into his career) got a start at second for the only time in his career.
1979 Twins second base: Rob Wilfong and Bob Randall. On two occasions, both in August, manager Gene Mauch started Wilfong against a left-hander. Wilfong out-OPS'd Randall 810 to 580, but Mauch was otherwise loyal to the plan.
1983 Blue Jays catcher: Ernie Whitt and Buck Martinez. Martinez twice started against a right-handed pitcher.
I want to close by circling back to the pair that got me here – Matty Alou and Manny Mota. Mota had actually platooned with Bill Virdon in 1965, but when Virdon retired after the season the Pirates acquired Alou from the Giants. Alou had been a fifth outfielder with his career in doubt, hitting a hollow .231 when he got on the field.
In 1966 the Pirates center fielders as a whole (almost entirely the platoon) hit .341 with a 121 OPS+, and the Pirates arguably gave ground only to the Giants (Willie Mays) at the position. In 1967, the Pirates center fielders (the same platoon) hit .346 with a 130 OPS+.
Of all the Full Time Platoons in history, this is still the gold standard, teaming up for multiple years to form something like a star player performance. In 1968 the platoon finally ended late in the year when manager Larry Shepard began playing Mota in left field to spell a struggling Stargell, making Alou more of a full-time player. Alou hit .332, losing the batting title to Pete Rose on the final day of the season.
After the 1968 season Mota was lost in the expansion draft, and Alou played 161 games. How'd he do with the increased workload? Just fine, thanks: .332, leading the league with 231 hits and 41 doubles, while setting an all-time record (since broken) of 698 at-bats. Maybe he just needed to platoon for a few years to be successful?
Platoons are not dead, though they are much harder to pull off. You need the players, but you also need the rest of your position players to create a somewhat stable roster. Unless there are changes to the roster rules, platoons will remain a rare, but welcome, part of the game.
When I spoke on this topic at the recent SABR conference, the questions were almost entirely questions about whether some pair of players qualified. With that in mind, I leave you with a link to a the entire list, presented in chronological order.
Mark Armour was the founder and long-time director of SABR's Baseball Biography Project and the author or co-author of several books on a variety of baseball subjects. He lives with his family in Oregon's Willamette Valley.
I have not crunched the numbers but I remember Any Etchebarren and Elrod Hendricks of the Orioles' powerhouse teams of the late '60's and early '70's being platooned almost regularly at catcher. I am surprised Earl Weaver did not make the list. Along with Etchebarren/Hedndricks, he platooned Al Bumbry and Ken Singleton in the mid to late '70's, at least that is what I remember off the top of my head and without benefit of a complete cup of coffee this morning.
Weaver generally had a third catcher (Clay Dalrymple, Johnny Oates) which caused the Hendricks/Etchebarren platoon to fall short. In the late 1970s, as you say, he platooned his outfielders a lot. But he had so many combinations (plus the DH spot) that no pair of players ever truly grabbed one position.
And then there was the 1982 Orioles LF platoon of John Lowenstein, Gary Roenicke, and Benny Ayala.
Player X was that year's NL MVP, Dale Murphy.
Mark, heard your presentation in Pittsburgh, and this was just as good the second time around.
Only have a few recent years done (2016-2017 and 2011-2013) but I am very interested to see how the trends have changed over time.
In my view, you have to look at platoon stats to put players in proper perspective. For some guys, it makes no difference, but for others like Fred Lynn, he's two different ballplayers in one.
Great article as always from one of the smartest minds out there.
Fascinating and interesting. Was expecting to find Casey Stengel on the managers list. I've read so often that he was a pioneer of platooning with those great Yankee teams, it's disappointment not to find the data back that up. But that's what good research often does…exposes the myths.
Tremendous article. One note: Garth Iorg, not Dane.
Darn — they were brothers!
Rance Mulliniks and Dane Iorg are the greatest name platoon in baseball history.
McCovey's early years were a bit of a mess — he was sent the minors one year — and he sometimes would play full time for a while and then be benched completely. To meet my criteria, you have to platoon from April through September, and you have to have a dedicated platoon partner. The Giants had MANY outfielders they were shuttling through left field.
The Blue Jays usually platooned at DH, but it was never the same two guys for very long. The year Orta/Johnson shared the job (1983), Johnson got all the starts against LHP, but he and Orta split the RHP starts. Which is why Johnson ended up starting 97 times (the RHH would be around 50 in a strict platoon). The next year it was Johnson/Aikens, then Burroughs/Oliver/Johnson, etc. I am looking for two-person platoons that go April to September.
Nice job. You can't lose if the article mentions Rance Mulliniks. I was looking for a late 80's Blue Jays McGriff/Fielder platoon, but I guess they fell short.
By this measure, the Cardinals have only had two qualified platoons over the years. Both were in 1949.
I guess Eddie Dyer went through a phase.

Electromobility, Sustainability
What is Polestar's strategy with sustainability efforts?
Polestar is a Swedish automotive brand by Volvo car's partner Flash/Polestar Racing in 1996. In 2015, it got acquired by Volvo by 49.5%. It is headquartered in Torslanda outside Gothenburg, Sweden. The current CEO is Mr. Thomas Ingenlath 2017.
Polestar is also said to supply Hertz with 65,000 battery-powered vehicles with a five deal and more than $3 billion of revenue… mentioned as potential revenue to be generated by Automotive news.
Hertz is a car rental company, a subsidiary of Hertz Corporation. It was founded in 1918 by Walter L. Jacobs. The hertz rental car services are headquartered in Estero, Florida, US. The current CEO from 2022 is Stephen M. Scherr. The revenue generated by the company is 948 crores USD.
The electric car brand is partnering up with Allebike for a limited edition of the mountain bike. Does it sound interesting? I hope so!
The bike is priced at 9,500 Eur and only 100 Allebike Alpha Polestar Edition is available.
Source: Autofutures
Sustainability has been expanded into marketing its brands with different strategies and also expanding its own business. The diversifying business models and different tactics utilized by the entrepreneur provided a breath of fresh air by Polestar.
As published in Tech Times, Polestar is taking sustainable themes to a different horizon. The automaker collaborated with the KOJA treehouse founders. They build sustainable houses in Finland.
It's a unique step, as the Tesla owner going for Boxable houses. Treehouses bring back old memories of your childhood. But what about the customers? Are they targeting a limited number of customers?
As per Hypebeast, they are collaborating with the Swedish-designed mountain bike company Allebike. The company is working on a limited edition of the mountain bike, the Allebike Alpha Polestar Edition.

The features of the mountain bike consist of full suspension with a minimal aesthetic of Polestar. It is combined with Allebike's technical know-how. It is available in two matter exterior colors: Snow and Space.
The design of the bike made it possible for a down-country class approach to cycling in tough terrain and also custom-made, lightweight, rigid carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer to stay intact.
At the front, it is designed with Öhlins gold dampers with 130 mm dia and at the rear with 120 mm dia for best performance up or downhill.
As per Thomas Ingenlath, the CEO of Polestar, "Attention to detail, design, and technology is integral when we develop our cars. We create the Allebike Alpha Polestar edition in the same spirit. Together with the great team at Allebike, we have crafted the perfect mountain bike for those who appreciate both a great ride and great design."
The collaboration shows the strong commitment and dedication by Polestar and not just in the EV industry but also in expanding its market in different endeavors with business the company is passionate about.
After all, anybody can sell a product but to make it a brand needs its uniqueness. Something Polestar is known to be a leader in the EV industry.
The approach is unparallel compared to its competitors but then a true leader doesn't focus on the competition but lives for its legacy.

"We are waiting for Kartik Aaryan to test negative" – Anees Bazmee : Bollywood News – Bollywood Hungama
March 31, 2021 adminLeave a Comment on "We are waiting for Kartik Aaryan to test negative" – Anees Bazmee : Bollywood News – Bollywood Hungama
The shooting of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was suspended again this month when its leading man Kartik Aaryan was tested positive for Covid19. Now Kartik is well on the way to recovery and spending his time watching a whole lot of movies and enjoying his mother's cooking.
Director Anees Bazmee is not worried at all. "We have already shot more than 60 percent of the film. Shooting stopped in Lucknow in March 2020 and the lockdown followed .But we made up for lost time when we resumed shooting. And now Kartik's Covid which came as a shock is not a big problem. Kartik is a very fast worker. He picks up his lines in minutes. We will be back on track as soon as he re-joins us. We are all waiting for him."
Anees is all praise for Kartik. "He is a pleasure to work with. Always on time, always professional, never any tantrums. Kartik has a smile for everyone. Having him on the set brings very pleasant vibes into the process of shooting. We need that positivity right now."
Anees flashbacks to the time he first saw Kartik on screen. "I had full faith in him from his first film. When I saw Pyaar Ka Punchnaama I knew he was going to make it really big. I wanted to work with him then only. But everything takes its time in life. I am glad we are working on Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 together. His comic timing is superb."
As good as Akshay Kumar's in the first Bhool Bhulaiyaa film? Anees demurs, "I had nothing to do with Bhool Bhulaiyaa with Akshay Kumar. So I wouldn't know."

Q: ELK Stack and scaling Bear with me here. I have spent the last week or so familiarising myself with the ELK Stack.
I have a working single box solution running the ELK stack, and I have the basics down on how to forward more than one type of log, and how to put them into different ES indexes.
This is all working pretty well, I would like to expand operations.
My question is more how to scale the solution out to cover more data needs/requirements.
The current solution is handling a smaller subset of data, and working fine, but I would like to aggregate a lot more data. For example I am currently pushing message tracking logs from 4 mailbox servers, I want to do the same but for 40 mailbox servers, and much, much busier ones.
I would also like to push over IIS Log files from the Client Access servers, there are 18 CAS servers, and around 30 mins of IIS logs per server during peak time were 120MB in size, with almost 1 million records.
This volume of data would most likely collapse a single box running ELK.
I haven't really looked into it but I read that ES allows for some form of clustering to add more instances, does the same apply to Logstash as well? Should Kibana be run on more than one server? or a different server to both Logstash and ES?

A: You will hit limits with logstash if you're doing a lot of processing on the records - groks, conditionals, etc.  Watch the cpu utilization of the machine for hints.
For elasticsearch itself, it's about RAM and disk IO.  Having more nodes in a cluster should provide both.
With two elasticsearch nodes, you'll get redundancy (a copy on both machines).  Add a third, and you can start to realize an IO benefit (writing two copies to three machines spreads the IO).
The ultimate data node will have 64GB of RAM on the machine, with 31GB allocated to elasticsearch.
You'll probably want to add non-data nodes, which handle the routing of data to be indexed and the 'reduce' phase when running queries.  Put two of them behind a load balancer.

A: As Alain mentioned, adding more ES nodes will improve performance (and give you redundancy).
On the logstash front, we have two logstash servers feeding into ES - at the moment we just direct different servers to log to the different logstash servers, but we're likely to be adding a HA-Proxy layer in front to do this automatically, and again provide redundancy.
With Kibana, I wouldn't worry too much - as far as I'm aware most of the processing is done in the client browser, and that that isn't is more dependent on the performance of the ES cluster.

Mom Captures the Moment She Had to School Her Kid On "Weaponized Incompetence"
It happens more often than not...
Lately, the term "weaponized incompetence" has become a major buzz phrase — so many people are talking about it, often in reference to a spouse who doesn't do their part around the house or in parenting. It means pretending not to know how to do a task or pretending to be bad at it to avoid doing it altogether, and it can be a big sticking point in relationships of all kinds.
One mom on TikTok has shared that she even had to teach her child not to use weaponized incompetence as a tool to get out of doing things. In the video, he's saying that he doesn't know how to help her with the yard work, but Mom knows better.
"You're using incompetence as a weapon, and I'm not gonna deal with it," the frustrated mom says to her son. "You're not gonna act like you don't know how to do anything because you don't know how to do it."
"This isn't only a men or boys thing. Everyone does it or has done it at some point. The convo just needs to be had regardless," Mom added in the comments.
Weaponized incompetence isn't okay for anyone to use, since respect in relationships should be a two-way street. It certainly sounds like this kid learned a lesson, and maybe other parents who saw the video learned something, too.

Q: How to debug Azure Cosmos DB Stored Procedures? I am working with Azure Cosmos DB, I am programming the client side in C# (web service) and I'm writing some server side Stored Procedures with java-script.
How can I debug my stored procedure's code?
Thanks,
MAK

A: Azure Cosmos DB stored procedure is JS script running on the server, you can not debug it on your side.
However , you can use console.log () to log some key steps in your stored procedure as below.

Then use getScriptLog to get the output from stored procedure console.log() statements.
Please note that EnableScriptLogging = true  is necessary to print console.log:
var response = await client.ExecuteStoredProcedureAsync(
    document.SelfLink,
    new RequestOptions { EnableScriptLogging = true } );
Console.WriteLine(response.ScriptLog);

You could refer to this official doc.
Hope it helps you.

Hope Arden – "Meant For Life" (SINGLE)
June 1, 2021	MUSIC REVIEWS
The exciting new singer/songwriter Hope Arden crafts a gem of a pop song in the single "Meant For Life". Dazzling the listener with an unstoppable music base, a rhythm that corrals the listener to fall into line, "Meant For Life" draws inspiration from the audacity of Lady Gaga, the pop instincts of Erasure and the eclectic of Siouxsie and the Banshees. While others might have paved the way for her sound, Arden undeniably forges her own path in the exceptional "Meant For Life".
URL: https://hopearden.com/
My heart would break if you left me now, sings Arden. She hails from Vancouver, Washington and grew up in a very large family on a farm. Her wild imagination, the perfect springboard for a songwriting career, is tops. She noted that the inspiration for the song came from watching her classmates go gaga over famous celebrities. When Arden tapped into that idea of dreaming and fantasizing a life, she grips the listener, leading them into familiar territory. What some may perceive as only a fantasy, when Arden sings, it sounds real. Tangible.
The music might sound unnerving at times, like a break in the bubble. A jerk in the motion. I loved how it casts an intriguing, almost murky vibe, and at the same time, a honey-dipped sun kissed vibe. Arden puts the listener under her spell with the bewitching tones and futuristic blurbs. I thought she took generous steps that paid off with the way she mixed in her backing vocals. I do believe it's also her singing the accompanied vocals, and the way she's pasted them into the mix, was quite intuitive. The circular sound is dreamy pop at its pinnacle. I loved the final patina it coats on the track. It's a black lacquer, a fierce tone. This isn't the same Jewel style of folk-pop that we've heard from the Northwest Corridor. It has a flare for the edgy, but still holds onto its pop and innocence foundation. She pushes boundaries just enough to feel secure on the pop channel, but fans of the electronica and dance areas will certainly get their juices running. It's a quick tempo, but not a sweaty pulsating tone. Arden keeps it clean.
I think in another lifetime we might see Arden break out into the alternative rock scene, but for now she's well-suited for the pop-electronica genre. She's a gifted storyteller and wordsmith. I'm curious how the other side of the story would be – what she might write from the perspective of the person being obsessed over. I think there's a very fine line between obsession and love and Arden never crosses it. She hovers over it in parts, but in each moment of "Meant For Life" she's coming from a sincere and honorable place. I think she takes ownership of the 'narrator' of this story and feels empathy. What better way to express emotion in song – "Meant For Life" nails the attitude and the triumph of being in love. This is a must-listen for your summer playlist.
The music of Hope Arden has been heard all over the world in partnership with the radio plugging services offered by Musik and Film Radio Promotions Division. Learn more https://musikandfilm.com

Movie Review: 'Atomic Blonde'
Kate Atkinson · Jul 27, 2017
If you like gritty, bloody fight scenes or miss the 80s way too much, Atomic Blonde is for you. If you're not a fan of empty plots or devoid characters, perhaps sit this one out.
Atomic Blonde, the breakneck action thriller starring Charlize Theron, arrives in Event Cinemas today and tells the story of MI6's most lethal assassin as she is sent into Berlin to make a special delivery.
Without giving too much away, Theron's character, Lorraine Broughton, partners with station chief David Percival, played by James McAvoy as she navigates her way through the city and solves the game's of spies.
Overall, Atomic Blonde was a good attempt and pretty engaging.
The extreme stylization and artsy effects and techniques were good, but being a blockbuster film, Atomic Blonde loses the right to be genuinely artsy in the first place. It successfully captures the zeitgeist of the late 80s in Berlin with imagery reflecting a post-cold-war era. However, even that was diminished by the overkill of 80s music used at every opportunity. Yes, the soundtrack was nostalgic and enhanced the intensity of the action scenes, but I swear they played every single hit from the 80s.
The fight scenes were nothing special but that's what made them great. The barely cut, barely edited authenticity of these fights really brought out the gruelling intensity. To Theron's credit, she pulled off all stunts on her own.
The plot, however, is probably the weakest aspect of Atomic Blonde and unfortunately arguably the most important component of any film. There was no character building and very little backstory so you were often left in the dark about who each character was and what they were doing. Being a spy movie, perhaps this was intentional because we weren't meant to know their true identity or something, but, even when relationships were insinuated or often very obvious, they weren't explained. Even the significant love story between Lorraine Broughton (Theron) and her female French lover wasn't pursued; arguably an attempt to beef up the film on the theory that 'sex sells'.
Regardless, by the end of the movie, you're left sitting in the cinema wrapping your head around what just happened and once you figure it out, you realize there was nothing much to figure out in the first place.
Overall though, with the combination of Theron's (expected) nude scenes, 80's bangerz and brutal action-packed bouts, Atomic Blonde is an enjoyable action flick for both the ladies and the fellas.
Catch Atomic Blonde from today, 28 July at Event Cinemas.

In the STEYR MOTORS Monoblock engine design, the traditional engine block and cylinder head are made as a single casting, using a special high tensile alloy. By eliminating high torque cylinder head bolts and the gasket, cylinder roundness is not compromised. Additionally, stress is reduced by elimination of temperature variations caused by "hot spots" around cylinder head bolt locations. The engine Monoblock is completely encased in an aluminum housing which reduces stress, allows more uniform cooling and also reduces noise and vibration transmission throughout the boat. The aluminum shell, not the engine block, support auxiliaries such as the starter, intake and exhaust manifolds, making it easier to adapt the engine to unique applications.
The STEYR MOTORS Monoblock engine is equipped with high pressure electronically controlled STEYR MOTORS unit injectors with two stage injection nozzle and up to 2000 bar injection pressure. Design and material selection have been especially matched to operate the engines with many types and qualities of fuels such as Diesel (F54, EN 590ff), Kerosene (JP8 / F34) or Maritime Diesel fuel. With the STEYR MOTORS HDS™ (Hybrid Drive System), the worldwide first "parallel" hybrid propulsion system, STEYR MOTORS combined both a motor and generator function in one hybrid unit – a trendsetting product that can be installed on all engines and drive combinations.
Engine Management System (EMS) & Engine Control Unit STEYR MOTORS develops its own EMS software, including diagnostic tools; no time consuming and costly dependency on outside sources. Engine Control Unit (ECU) hardware and wiring harnesses are procured from suppliers, according to STEYR MOTORS specifications.

The media quintet: Across the platforms
By: JV Rufino, Sara Isabelle Pacia - @inquirerdotnet
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 08:47 PM October 05, 2016
Given the changing media landscape and the evolution of the platform offerings of the Inquirer, one thing remains the same–its mission to provide the readers with a unique reader experience that can be translated and come alive.
INQUIRER.net: Always on
As the internet continues to break barriers in the media industry, INQUIRER.net cements its place on the front line of change in the digital space with journalistic and technological innovations expected of cutting-edge, 21st-century media organizations.
The website's latest form has been optimized with our audience in mind. Guided by the principles of good design and user experience, its modular layout has gone bigger on the visuals but lighter on the page load. All pages are now responsive to fit the biggest of desktop screens to the smallest of smartphones.
Audiences have been given more avenues on the site to connect and communicate more closely with us and with each other. Pioneering efforts to connect with our audience on the ground is the Inquirer Volunteer Corps, a partnership with schools, communities, and organizations to empower students and citizens to create, publish and tell their own stories. The IVC has currently partnered with over 250 students from seven schools.
Still, at the core of the redesign remains the steadfast, fearless journalism the Inquirer has proudly championed since its inception in 1985 and its online expansion in 1997. The homepage is more curated than ever, featuring a mix of breaking views and top-notch video reports and photo stories.
Opinions from the country's leading columnists and up-and-coming bloggers share a space under Fearless Views.
Each channel has been strengthened with banner stories and more interactive features specific to the section's needs. Multimedia, multiplatform special reports are set to take center stage.
In its 19 years live, never has Inquirer.net been as committed to setting the nation's agenda and engaging its audience, the millions of users who visit monthly and the million others connected on our various social media platforms.
INQUIRER.net Always On. Online, on the frontline. On the Web, on the ground. On social, on the beat.
Inquirer Plus: Beyond the printed edition
Our tablet edition, Inquirer Plus, is about leaning back and taking the time to see the context behind the day's updates. Inquirer Plus combines the great visual canvas of our print edition with the interactivity of our website on a device tailor-made for consuming content (just as PCs, laptops and smartphones are great devices for creating content).
You not only get all the pages of our print edition, you also get tablet-only pages that extend and expound on what our print edition offers (hence the "Plus" in the name).
Moreover, in addition to the Inquirer, you also get access to our local sister titles and selected partner papers in the Asia News Network—all delivered fresh each morning to your tablet in time for breakfast.
Inquirer Plus access is part of an Inquirer print subscription. E-mail [email protected] com.ph for details, or call +632 8966000 or sign up at http://inq.news/inqplus
Inquirer Mobile: Perfectly personal
The smartphone is the most personal device you own. It's the first thing you look at in the morning and the last one you see at night. It's your diary, calendar, photo album and now, your "newspaper."
The new Inquirer Mobile app was designed for the way you use your smartphones.
We focused on delivering the latest breaking news because that's what smartphones are best at: bursts of info that you can quickly read while in line, waiting for a meeting to start or your coffee to arrive.
In those situations you may not always have good cellular signal so we use caching technology to load the latest stories while you're connected. No more waiting for a mobile web page to load. You may also be interrupted at any time that's why we added a bookmark feature so you can quickly go back to a story and spend more time reading and less time scrolling.
Finally, your smartphone is also your camera. You snap photos all the time. Why not snap a photo of something happening in your neighborhood that you feel we should know about? Discreetly send us a photo and news tip using the app's My Story feature. Useful if you'd rather not get trolled on social media but do feel something should be done. The same My Story feature is also a handy QR code reader that you can use to get additional content from our print edition.
Get the Inquirer Mobile app for iOS and Android http://inq.news/app
Inquirer on your smartwatch: Intimate info
If the tablet is the most leisurely of devices and smartphones the most personal, smartwatches are the most intimate.
This is a device that is on your skin most of the day and taps you on the wrist to get your attention. If you need to know now, that's what the smartwatch is for. Our smartwatch alerts aren't trivial. They are important, and, more importantly, urgent—important enough to prompt you to stop what you're doing and pay attention.
They're also concise. If the media quintet were arranged along a spectrum of length, smartwatches would be on the extreme left (just as print and tablets right after them, will be on the far right). They contain enough information for you to grasp the import of what just happened but they are notifications, not complete stories in themselves. They're a prompt to open our Inquirer Mobile app for updates as they unfold.
Part your smartwatch with the Inquirer Mobile app!
Go to http://my.inquirer.net to experience the most engaging Inquirer yet.
Why a rethink?

Q: Frequency or Angular Frequency I am doing study on electromagnetism and Drude model is applied recently in my simulation. I am quite confused about the exact meaning of the terms in the expression of the dielectric constant in Drude model.
I have tried with the case of gold and here is what I got from my calculations:
One the one hand, the $\omega$ within in the denominator should be interpreted as the angular frequency with rad/s as the unit. On the other hand, the plasma frequency in the numerate and the damping coefficient in the denominator should be interpreted as the frequency with unit Hz.
By interpreted I mean just substitute in the value of the quantity while it is with that particular unit
But can the angular frequency just be added with frequency given their different units?

A: You cannot add them if they have different units, you are correct.
They are related simply by a factor of $2\pi$,
$$ \omega = 2\pi\nu$$
where $\nu$ is in Hz and $\omega$ is rads/s.


Breakfast was wholemeal toast with Vitalite margarine and Marmite.
Lunch was sausages, burgers, halloumi and vegetables.
Clockwise: Red and sweetheart cabbage sauteed and sprinkled with sesame seed.
Baked halloumi, oven cooked Quorn Vegan Hot and Spicy burgers and Linda McCartney vegan, soya free sausages.
Clockwise: Sauteed new potatoes, lightly sauteed cauliflower couscous (we've decided we prefer this raw), wok fried leeks, courgettes, mushrooms and baby plum tomatoes.
Raw cauliflower couscous with very finely chopped leeks, mushrooms, red cabbage and walnuts and the broccoli which I prepped but forgot to use!
Early evening we had banana pancakes with raspberries, blueberries and natural yoghurt…again. It is still a big favourite.
Presentation on the plate isn't my str ong point but it all did taste very good. Oven gas 6/7, large flat mushroom on a tray for ten minutes, red peppers placed on the tray and back in the oven for ten minutes. Mushrooms topped with mince (Quorn mince, finely chopped red onion and courgette, baby plum tomatoes half a glass of white wine, salt, pepper, vegetarian worcestershire sauce, marmite cooked earlier) back in the over for ten minutes, topped with cheese and back in the over for ten minutes! Served with boiled cauliflower and broccoli…the trick with this is to pour boiling water over the florets and cook until just tender, a smidge more or very tender, according to your preference.
Salad, breakfast untouched, breakfast half eaten, ratatouille-esque in the early stages, ratataouille-esque almost cooked.
Breakfast was layered thus: a goodly spoonful of Skyr natural yoghurt, a spoonful of muesli, handful of raspberries, handful of blueberries, topped with a dollop of Onken natural yoghurt.
The ratatouille-esque dish contained red onion, courgette, red cabbage, sweetheart cabbage, red pepper, mushrooms, tinned chopped tomatoes, sea salt, pepper, smoked paprika.
The weekend alcohol count? Three small glasses of Shiraz and one of Sauvignon Blanc.
Last night, because we finished earlier than usual we decided to go out for dinner and not feel tired! I had the usual paneer tikka with saag bhaji and because it's actually okay sometimes, I had dessert.
Today I shopped at Tesco. It was a typical food selection.
No water, nuts, seeds or oils this time as I'm well stocked with those.
I also bought an electric "health" grill…a total impulse buy. I've had the George Forman ones before and rather liked them. I do grill a lot of vegetables and halloumi so it seemed better than always using the oven or the cooker grill, which makes the kitchen unbearably hot and takes too long to heat up when I fancy a quick grilled veg filled wrap. I bought Tesco's own brand and checked reviews when I got home and am pleased to say they are excellent.
I shall let you know how much fun we have!
One way to get an extra portion of vegetables in your day is to use cauliflower in devious ways!
Cut a cauliflower in half, remove the main chunk of the stalk, break into florets and blitz it, half at a time, in a food processor till it looks like cous cous.
At the weekend I served it with courgettes, mushrooms, leeks, celery, almonds, all very finely chopped, and some plump dried fruit. It's great like this and it's also good with a dressing As the picture shows, I also served it as rice (tossed in oil, spread on a baking sheet and roasted at Gas 6 for 12 minutes) with a Quorn and vegetable curry. This also has the added bonus of keeping carbs sensible.
As the picture also shows, we had a sneaky bag of Lentil Curls from the Co-op…they were my once-a-month crisp alternative. No alcohol at all this weekend and we didn't miss it.
Paneer tikka, gobi bhaji and naaaaaaaaaaan!
I enjoy going out for dinner. I like informal and fine dining, the former being a more frequent occurrence for us…actually it's very frequent! If you're dining out for the joy of eating then throw caution to the wind and enjoy. If it's because you're hungry, had no time to prepare dinner, too tired to prepare dinner then do be aware of what you eat.
We mostly do it because we work long hours and if we nip out to eat we aren't distracted by work. Thursday evening was one of those occasions. We have three regular haunts (have just discovered a fourth) whose menus we know well and this helps with making a sensible choice.
On Thursday I chose paneer tikka with gobi bhaji. It's a tandoori cheese dish, with onions and peppers and a side of cauliflower and it's "sensible carbs". I rarely choose rice as it's delicious and the portions are huge and I eat the lot. My husband chose a lamb balti which included a naan bread the size of Wiltshire AND he ordered mushroom rice (one of the most delicious) then realised it was too much food for one meal. As is the case for most of us, when it's on the table, we eat it. So do beware of over ordering. We find take away portions to be even larger, so again, be wary. I generally order starter portions.
Personally, I prefer quality over quantity.
If I'm going to overload on carbs and calories, then it has to be worth it.
I love pasta and where possible always use wholewheat. A particular favourite is tagliatelle but I have yet to find a wholewheat version of this, so as a low carb alternative I use cabbage. Yes, cabbage! Slice a sweetheart cabbage cross ways (I was using this one to make sauerkraut…a great dairy free probiotic) and this is what you get.
I plunge the cabbage into boiling, lightly salted water for about three minutes.
Last night we had it with a Bolognese sauce made using leeks, mushrooms, Quorn mince, tinned chopped tomatoes, white wine and fresh basil. I seasoned it with pepper, a tiny amount of salt and a goodly dollop of Marmite. Even if you're a Marmite hater it's worth using but season cautiously as it is salty.
Yesterday I had a small bowl of muesli with oat milk for breakfast and a few almonds and Brazil nuts throughout the day.
Dinner was a frittata filled with leeks, tomatoes, mushrooms, courgettes and red cabbage, all sliced and stir fried in olive oil and seasoned with sea salt and black pepper before placing in a pie dish and covered in six free range eggs. Cooked in the oven Gas 6 for about 25 minutes, sprinkled with cheddar after 15 minutes. Served with a salad of substantial green leaves, so these do count as one of my five a day.
The red cabbage ended up overcooked and pale blue!
This was delicious hot and scrumptious cold the next day.
A brilliant low carb, high protein dish and one of my favourites.
Not one of my best!
We don't all have perfect days. Yesterday was not one of my finest. I worked 13 hours and ate and drank at my desk. Actually, it was a beautiful day so I relocated to a table in the garden for a couple of hours.
but a dollop of brown sauce.
Lunch didn't happen but throughout the day I had a handful of almonds, ten or so walnut halves and half a block of halloumi (hey, it had to be eaten or thrown!). I had half a dozen or so tea/coffee, mostly decaf and about a litre of water.
Dinner came home with my husband in the form of a lamb biryani for him and paneer tikka with his vegetable curry for me and one small glass of red wine.
So whilst I didn't eat anything too bad (apart from the 100g of halloumi, which is very salty) I only had one portion of overcooked vegetables.
But IT'S OK! I eat well most of the time so a blip now and then is not a problem.

Jeremy Corbyn Laments Manchester Attack, Election Chief's Son Proclaims It Came At 'Ideal Time' For Tories
Kristine Moore
Jeremy Corbyn has been busy paying tribute to the many victims of the Manchester terror attack, calling it a "terrible incident," while also praising the enormous "bravery and professionalism" that the emergency services in Manchester showed.
Jeremy Corbyn spoke about how horrified he was by the events in Manchester and agreed with Theresa May that campaigning for the upcoming general election would be suspended for the time being while the country came together and united in solidarity for the lives of the 22 people who had been lost and the countless other victims who were injured because of the suicide bomber.
Speaking with Sky News before the attack in Manchester was confirmed to be a terrorist incident, Jeremy Corbyn lamented that the innocent victims had only been young children who were just enjoying themselves at a concert, as the Telegraph reported.
"Its absolutely shocking news, its the most appalling act of violence that's taken the lives of young people who were at a music event to enjoy themselves. People must be allowed to enjoy themselves at a music event. This is an appalling act of violence against people and it must be totally and unreservedly and completely condemned."

While Jeremy Corbyn has been discussing the events in Manchester, the son of his top election strategist has inadvertently created controversy by a post on Facebook.
Jack Murray, whose father is Andrew Murray, Corbyn's newly appointed election chief, vented politically on Facebook about how the Manchester terror attack came at a bad time for Jeremy Corbyn but at an extremely good one for Theresa May and the Tories. Jack believes one of the reasons for this is because instead of focusing on what he called the "disastrous" campaign of Theresa May and the Tories, the press will most likely now be reporting on the Manchester terror attack and little else.
Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour party, however, have gone out of their way to distance themselves from these comments and make certain voters are aware that Jack Murray does not speak for them, the Telegraph reports. Labour also state that the 30-year-old Jack has never worked for Labour nor been involved with them in any way.

— Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) May 23, 2017
Speaking of the Manchester terror attack, Jack Murray wrote on Facebook that the Tories had been losing an incredible amount of support immediately beforehand, with polls showing that Jeremy Corbyn was rapidly gaining support immediately before the Manchester suicide bombing.
"One thing is for certain though, that this has come at an unbelievably ideal time for those in power and over the next two weeks the media will now be entirely focused on this terrorist attack and not the disastrous Conservative party campaign that was losing support daily."
Murray also explained why he believed that Theresa May could conceivably twist the suicide bombing to her advantage by promoting herself as the best leader for the United Kingdom in unsafe times such as these, and how the press may play along.
"It will be entirely focused on using this attack as further proof of why we need a 'strong and stable' leader and not a man of peace with 'terrorist links'."

But despite the protestations of Labour and Jeremy Corbyn trying as hard as he can to distance himself from others who are politicizing the Manchester terror attack, there are a growing number of others who also believe that Tory politicians are using the suicide bombing to their advantage.
A journalist for the Vice News website, Sam Kriss, wrote on Twitter that putting the army out on the streets immediately before a general election could really only have come from political motives rather than the sincere desire to protect people.
"I'm sure absolutely no political calculation went into the decision to put Strong Decisive Army Men on the streets weeks before the election."
What do you think of the way Jeremy Corbyn has handled the attack in Manchester and do you think Theresa May and the Tories are using the event to their advantage or not?

Q: How to properly erase drive and start over after pv glitch? I installed pv so I could check progress of a usb installation, and I began the process with sudo dd if= | pv | of=/dev/sdb.
Well, it's supposed to ask me for my sudo password, but when I pressed Enter, it started showing progress before I could enter the password. I went ahead and attempted to type the password, but it was mixed in with the progress text.
So, then I decided to do Ctrl+C to stop it.
My question is: Can I just do "sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdb" to erase any data and start over? I JUST bought this drive today, so this is frustrating. I'm definitely not doing that again.
Thanks.

A: If you will be writing another image onto it (Using dd or the graphical USB image writer included in Ubuntu, or some other tool), there is no need to erase anything first, just start over and write the new image directly onto it.
If you want to use it to store files, you can format it using the graphical "Disks" utility, again no need to erase anything first.
However, overwriting the contents with sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdb won't do any harm either, although i'd recommend using if=/dev/zero, since it may be faster.
