"Notes" and the Dictation Button: Sweet Tools!
Development on Work-In-Progress (WIP) prelims goes well. I have yet to finish HTTS Lesson 8 homework, but I have been making steady and satisfying progress toward that end. In the meantime, I have discovered how to use the iPhone/Mac app "Notes" to my advantage.
A quick bit of background first. I have ever been a PC man both with upright and laptop. A couple of years ago, I bought my wife an iPad. She was pleased but even more so after the family upgraded to smart iPhones and she discovered how the two devices could work in synch. When her PC crapped out, she purchased herself an iMac. Being a published and award-winning musician and singer-song writer, she was over the moon with the creative possibilities all three devices working in concert gave her. I watched from the sidelines with secret envy but couldn't in good conscience let my perfectly fine PC laptop go; indeed, after the death of my last upright PC, it had been my stalwart companion for nearly ten years. Well, just as it began to show signs of age—it was having trouble communicating with our server and house wifi, and it had began to refuse to shut down even when so ordered—Santa-wife purchased me a MacBook Pro. Now it's my turn to be over the moon as I explore the connection possibilities between it and my iPhone. BTW, while I still use my laptop from time to time, I see a day fast approaching when old-faithful must be completely retired.
While working on WIP preliminaries, I am strongly focused on clarifying the five elements of The Sentence: a Protagonist-with-a-need, an Antogonist-with-a-need; Setting, Conflict, and Twist, and developing light, but no less critical, aspects of each element. As I am doing this, however, my muse/subconscious/right-brain has been hard at work fielding my left-brain with random, and some not-so-random, ideas and story details. Not wanting to lose any of these important, though less than clear or plot-synched, offerings, but neither wanting to interrupt my writing flow, I found it wonderfully convenient to whip-out the iPhone, open Notes, push the dictation-button (microphone icon) and record away. Once the idea is recorded, either verbally or text-wise, I find I can return to the writing at hand unworried about forgetting an interesting idea or losing a scrap of hurried scribble. Sweet!
Further, as the app must pause in its recording to process dictation, it is training me to keep my thoughts brief and to the point, a skill I need to hone. And because the MacBook and iPhone are synched, my Notes are immediately available on my computer and ready for me to save, copy and paste, or edit as needed.
Not only has this been supremely helpful for catching random ideas while I'm actively working on my HTTS homework but also in situations when my laptop is unavailable, such as in the midst of teaching, a faculty meeting, or a game—though I use only the briefest of manual text-entries at those times.
The Notes are also an interesting record of organic story/idea evolution. I consider myself very lucky to have been blessed with both the abilities of an Outliner and a Pantster. As a result of 35 years experience as a Game Master (GM) and 26 as a teacher, I have no problems either developing detailed story outlines prior to writing or exploring the unexpected mid-story promptings of my right-brain. My first notes only vaguely relate to the latest as the plot changes and evolves. Complications appear or disappear, characters grow or diminish, conflicts escalate or dissipate, POVs re-orient direction and focus with each new right-brain note. I find the record fascinating and strangely reassuring, for I am led to believe that nothing is wasted and even the most seemingly unrelated idea can contribute to the whole in an unexpected and delightful way.
Presently I've recorded 66 notes and, with each dictation, a bit more literary focus is achieved. I can feel their weight offering me a firmer footing from which to eventually start composing the WIP directly.

What Is The Importance of Carpet Cleaning?
Carpets are a valuable asset and a more valuable investment. How can you keep them absolutely clean and utterly healthy so that your loved ones could play safely on them? Some might suggest homely methods and it has been found that professional carpet cleaning is required to keep bacteria, germs, and pollutants at an arm's length from your property.
Carpets get dirty over a period of time and it becomes difficult to clean them thoroughly.
Apart from dirt and soil, carpets also consist of virus, bacteria, germ, dust mites, allergens and all sorts of pollutants. All these contaminants find your dirty carpet conducive to their growth and hence they make it their home.
Such contaminants residing in your carpets can cause serious health issues to you and your loved ones. And these could lead to unwanted situations in the workplace too.
Dirty carpets often lose their softness.
Dirty carpets lose their brightness and luster.
Carpets that are not cleaned regularly have a rather short span of life.
Apart from the regular dirt catching up in the carpets, there are occasions when you spill something or the other on your precious carpet and try hard to get rid of those stains. But some stains do not go away with home methods.

The spring salad inspired Spring Pizza with Eggs is so filling, fresh, full of flavors, topped with eggs; it's versatile, perfect for a weekend brunch, a busy week day dinner, even for an office lunch!
In my last blog post, I shared 5 Quick Lunch Salads and let's confess, I'm kind of addicted to salads by now and eating them daily basis.
So when my dad came home with a pizza dough for dinner, all I could think of salads (as I mentioned before, I've a one-track-mind).
As I've watched Food Network before making the dinner, as usually, I realized there was something I wanted to try out for a long time…eggs on pizza!
When I first saw eggs on pizza, I honestly didn't understand why on earth would anyone put eggs on pizza?! It just seemed weird, it's not an everyday pizza topping.
The more pizza I saw on TV with eggs on the top, the more I get used to the idea and the more I wanted to try it out.
The result couldn't get any better! Now the Spring Pizza with Eggs is the new family favorite!
It's simple, delicious, filling, healthy and quick! Who wants more nowadays?! However I have to tell you, the pizza kombi's pizza dough (bought from Lidl) was a huge relief, I didn't have to wait the dough to rise!
The spring salad inspired Spring Pizza with Eggs is so filling, fresh, full of flavors, topped with eggs; it's versatile, perfect for a weekend brunch, a busy week day dinner, even for an office lunch!
Roll your pizza dough out in the pan.
Mix the sour cream with the grated garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, sugar and the chilli.
Dice the lettuce, the spinach, the tomato and the red bell pepper.
Scatter the diced vegetables on the pizza.
Slice the ham and add to the veggies.
Crack the eggs on the pizza.
Bake it untill the egss are almost firm.
Grate the cheese on the top of the pizza.
Bake for 10 more minute.
Believe me on this, it's worth to try out! The salad and the eggs on the top of your pizza is makes it seriously addictive! Within an hour zero slice left!
It's a great way to feed your family with some healthy greens on a comfort food without making it "greeny".
Put an egg on it or not?
How do you make your family to eat their green and veggies?
I'd love to hear your experience and opinion! If you try my recipe, tell me what you think about it!
Such a fun topping! The eggs make it legitimate to eat pizza for breakfast—love that!


The Wimbledon Championships starts on Monday. Here are the Men's seedings.
Russia seems well represented in the ladies.
Yes, 8 of the 32 are Russian. It's strange how the tide has turned in recent years from USA/Australia to the old Eastern block countries.
I believe this Wimbledon is the first in history to have no players from England (male at least) representing. The only guy who may have qualified instead did another event (which he won) but didn't get a wildcard.
Believe that British players only receive a wildcard if they are rank in the top 250. The player in question entered the other event to raise his ranking but even winning the event he was still outside the top 250.
His mistake was not to enter the qualifiers but to rely on a wildcard .
There's also a bit of politics involved here with the LTA. They are looking at the whole funding of our players and a lot of funding has been cut together with their wilicards.
I think 'Boggo' is a slightly maligned character; to be fair I think he picked out either the 1 or 2 seeds a couple of times and most people's experience of him is watching him freeze rabbit like during some very bad Davis Cup defeats. It isn't his fault that he is the British no.2; if he was ranked say 20 in the country then these issues wouldn't be raised. Generally speaking, however, I'd probably go along with the decision not to allow him a wildcard and agree with the idea of him losing LTA funding as long as it is redirected properly. This is where I have an issue with the LTA; if the money and WC went to a young, talented, committed player with potential to get to the top then I wouldn't mind, but despite a fortune to spend each and very year, the LTA are totally incapable of producing any talent at all.
I'll climb off my soapbox now and apologise to artmo for high jacking his thread about Wimbledon and turning it into a rant about the LTA!
Not at all randpwar. It's good to have some constructive comments.
There is certainly no shortage of money in the sport. Wimbledon produces upwards of £30M each year that is given to the LTA, In addition there are many other initiatives around the country that pour money into tennis. I play at a commercial club and they give free memberships, courts and some training to youngsters.
I think there needs to be a complete clear out at the LTA with new people taking over. We need to see how other countries train the up-and-coming players and learn from them.
We shouldn't forget Murray isn't British trained. He went to a Spanish training centre when I think he was 10.
The LTA paid and built indoor courts at my club (Tennis, Squash and Hockey club) they use to run it for a few years but now have handed the running back to the club. Baltacha make full use of these indoor courts, as well as the outdoor courts at the club, and it seem to be paying off for her.

It's almost Halloween! You know what that means? The holiday shopping season is upon us — those few weeks retailers look forward to all year. Stores will be packed with shoppers looking for the perfect presents for a long list of family and friends.
Those same stores are also likely to be full of temporary sales associates. In the rush to assist merrymaking customers, a few less-than-honest people may have been hired. Even year-round employees may look at this chaotic season as a perfect cover for theft and fraud. According to Security Info Watch, the holiday season accounts for 37% of annual shrink loss for most retailers. That'll put a lump of coal in a retailer's stocking for sure.
Take control of your keys and keep track of them. Use a key management system to link employees to specific keys, using unique identifiers stamped on keys. Always be sure that separated employees have returned the keys assigned to them. After each season, as temporary employees cycle out, it's a good idea to conduct a key audit. If you notice a key is missing, it's time to rekey the locks.
You have enough to do now without having to call a locksmith to have them cut and distribute new keys and update the record-keeping process, not to mention the costs that will stack up each holiday season with the influx of temporary help. To save some time and money, you'll want to consider installing user-rekeyable locks, at least in the most used access points. Within seconds you can change a lock to make any previous keys useless, and save money doing it.
Are your keys restricted? Does it matter? Restricted keys can't be copied because the manufacturer controls the key blanks needed to make a copy. When restricted keys are returned by separating employees, there's no need to change the locks. If you like spending unnecessary dollars on rekeying locks, then no, it doesn't matter.
It's likely that door locks aren't your only concern. What about cabinets and display cases that protect high value merchandise? How about areas protected by padlocks? What other locks and hardware should be on your shrink reduction radar? You can use the ideas above to protect all kinds of access points.
Give yourself a gift this holiday season and fight back against theft and fraud. With an InstaKey Key Control Program you can implement the tips above and improve your front line of defense to keep more of your holiday profits.
Organized Retail Crime is a concern year-round for retailers, but during the holiday shopping season, there's sure to be a spike. Download our ORC eBook for some ideas on deterring ORC this holiday season and beyond.

8-Bit Nostalgia
Impossible Fortress: A Novel by Jason Rekulak. Simon & Schuster, 2017. 9781501144417.
Sarah: So do you find yourself wondering if a book is intended to be an adult or teen book and then judging it differently?
Gene: Yeah.
S: I think I would have been harsher to this book if it had been a teen book.
G: Isn't it a teen book?
S: It is not a teen book.
G: I read it like it was a teen book.
S: I read it as an adult book, so I was a little bit more forgiving of the fact that it meandered.
G: But it's clearly a teen novel. It just relies so heavily on nostalgia that you can't put it on the teen shelf. It's much more for us.

laid waste by Julia Gfrörer. Fantagraphics, 2016. 9781606999714.
Gfrörer's inks are amazing. It looks like she uses a pen — there isn't much variation to the thickness of her lines — but she's able to cross them to create different textures which give only a sense of the darkness of the story and the deep despair of its characters. I've returned to this book again and again to look at its shadows.
When she was a young girl in a medieval town, Agnès was mistakenly buried. Her older sister rescued her from her grave, though, and Agnès grew up. Now her town is being ravaged by the plague. It's a world of funeral pyres, mass graves, and dogs eating body parts. Nothing matters. Agnès finds a moment of pleasure with a man whose wife is dying, but only after he stops trying to reassure her and agrees that it's the end of the world. Will St. Catherine answer her prayers for a new husband and more children, or for death?
I know it sounds like a bummer, but Gfrörer ends it on a hopeful note (or not, depending on your interpretation — and there's a lot of room here for interpretation).

Magickal Realism
Aleister & Adolf, story by Douglas Rushkoff, art by Michael Avon Oeming, lettering by Nate Piekos. Dark Horse Books, 2016. 9781506701042.
Reader note: This book has a LOT of nudity and fucking in it, in addition to Satan worship*, murder, and Nazi atrocities. So, y'know, if any of those is a deal killer for you, give this one a pass.
A graphic artist in the early days of the web goes in search of the original paper files on the design of a corporate logo, after the digital files he needs to build a web page start to misbehave by refusing to stay put on the screen. He's horrified to find images of torture and death that played a role in the logo's development. He meets with an elderly man, now dying, who explains what it all means: in his youth, during World War II, he was tasked by American military strategists to recruit British magician Aleister Crowley because the Americans wanted to find a way to use Hitler's interest in the occult against him. Instead of completing his mission and reporting back, as ordered, he ended up overwhelmed by Crowley's ideas and in danger of losing himself to the powerful magicks at play. Crowley became obsessed with creating a symbol powerful enough to defeat the Nazis.
The story is based on real-life strangeness and occult beliefs during WWII, with a story of personal obsession and loss woven throughout. Crowley thinks the Nazis are adding power to the swastika through their horrifying medical experiments and mass murders. His efforts to create a rival symbol involve sex magick and sacrifice. This isn't just a Hammer style occult horror story, it's about the power of symbols and how they permeate of our lives. In the notes on his art at the end of the book, Oeming comments that while he usually sells his original cover art, he thinks he will burn the cover of Aleister & Adolf rather than unknowingly sell his depiction of Hitler to a neo-Nazi for any price. The symbols in this book are still powerful, generations later.
*a nerdy footnote: Aleister Crowley in the book (and probably in real life) would strenuously object to someone calling what he did Satan worship or black magic. Then he would give you a long-winded explanation as to why. But that's what people who will want to steer clear of this book would call it, which is why I'm calling it out with those words.

Northlanders Book 1: The Anglo-Saxon Saga by Brian Wood, Davide Gianfelice, Ryan Kelly, Marian Churchland. Vertigo, 2016. 9781401263317. 464 pages of Viking goodness.
Contains Northlanders #1-16, #18-19, and #41. Originally collected (mostly) in the first three Northlanders graphic novels: Sven the Returned, Blood in the Snow, and The Cross and the Hammer.
Gene: This is the book I sent Chris Hallbeck for his birthday in November, and I realized I wanted to reread it — maybe it was that seeing Mads Mikkelsen in the new Star Wars movie reminded me of the quiet, brutal fights in the first 30 minutes of Valhalla Rising, or the fact that I've been trying to get into Neil Gaiman's book of Norse mythology. And I just read Black Road, which is the newest installment in Brian Wood's Vikingverse, and I want more.
This book isn't about the same characters all the time, though some come and go. It's an easy readalike for the TV show Vikings. It's the book I want to give anyone who falls for Marvel's perfectly coiffed Thor.
It has a beautiful old map, which shows where the stories take place — all not too far from Scotland or Ireland. Where's Danish Mercia? Right there. I had no idea.
The first story starts in 868 AD. There's a kid whose dad is a Christian and is always down on him — I think they live in abbey. The kid gets pissed. When the Vikings come ashore to raid, he meets them and goes, "It's this way."
Sarah: Ha!
Gene: That has nothing to do with the next story — three women escape when Vikings murder everyone in their town. They go to an old fort on the sea where they hold off the Vikings.
Sarah: Sweet!
Gene: (I worry that I use the word "brutal" in my reviews too much these days because that describes everything I'm reading and enjoying. Not sure what that says about where my head is…)
The next story is about a guy named Sven who is returning to the Orkneys. Somehow he ended up in Turkey, and he's working as a guard there, living the good life. He finds out his father died and he wants his inheritance, so he goes back home. He looks like a fancy fop, especially to the Vikings, but he completely kicks ass. Back home, no one wants to see him. There's violence. He finds the woman he once loved, who is with the guy in charge of the village, and falls in with another who is fighting a one-woman guerilla war against the Vikings. And he tries to get his stuff back while getting revenge.
Sarah: I enjoy a good revenge story.
Gene: And then there's a one-issue story from the comic, drawn by Marian Churchland…
Sarah: That's gorgeous!
Gene: …about a small young woman whose father is the big man in town. After he dies, she has to figure out how to survive because nobody respects her. She's always been her father's daughter. She has to figure out her place and who she is.
The last story takes place in Viking occupied Ireland in 1014. There's a badass warrior on the loose, killing Vikings, and he has a little girl with him, his daughter. The Viking King's right hand man is hunting him, along with a bunch of dogs and grizzled warriors. Man vs. dog. Man vs. human. Hacking and slashing. And then there's a beautiful turn in the story that's awful for the character…
But all I need to say is "Vikings!" right?
Sarah: Yeah. But the way you talked about it there was a lot of story and character complexity, and I think people that like those HBO destination TV series full of all the guts would like this.
Gene: Would you pitch it as a Game of Thrones readalike?
Sarah: Yeah. Not that I've watched or read GOT.
Gene: What's your one sentence booktalk of this?
Sarah: If you like HBO….
Gene: If you like really violent, old timey shows…
Sarah: Old is new again.
Gene: But it's not a readalike for Westworld. You're probably not watching that either.
Sarah: No.
Gene: Robot humping! You're missing out.
Sarah: I know! Fanfiction-wise, I should be watching it.

Nacer Chadli – Swansea
Swansea are considering launching another bid for Tottenham Hotspur winger Nacer Chadli. They had initially offered £10 million for the Belgian, but Spurs value the player at more like £15 million.
Robin van Persie – Barcelona
Barcelona are considering making a big for Fenerbahce striker Robin van Persie as they look for back up options for Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar. The ageing striker is valued at around €10 million by Fenerbahce, and both West Ham and Stoke are considering moving for him.
Romelu Lukaku – Chelsea
With their pursuit of Alvaro Morata on the brink of failure, Antonio Conte is considering a move for former Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku. However, they would have to pay at least £50 million for the Everton hitman.
Edinson Cavani – Chelsea
On the other hand, Conte could move for Paris Saint Germain's Uruguyuan striker Edinson Cavani. PSG are reluctant to sell after they already lost Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but Chelsea's £42 million bid could tempt them into accepting.
Mario Gomez – West Ham
West Ham, who have been in the hunt for a marquee striker all summer, have been given a boost after Mario Gomez announced that he was looking to leave Besiktas due to the political situation in Turkey.
Sofiane Boufal – Watford
Watford are looking to add yet more talent to their squad, with 22 year old Lille midfielder Sofiane Boufal top of their list. The youngster netted 11 Ligue 1 goals last season from the centre of the park.
Andre Schurrle – Borussia Dortmund
Not content with just Mario Gotze, Borussia Dortmund are looking to replace Henrikh Mkhitaryan with Wolfsburg attacker Andre Schurrle. The club are reported to have agreed a £25 million fee with Wolfsburg.
Moussa Sow – Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace are looking towards 30 year old Senegal striker Moussa Sow, and have made contact with his agents about a possible loan move from Al-Ahli.
Gabriel Jesus – Manchester City
Manchester City are set to win the race to sign Palmeiras' 19 year old wonderkid Gabriel Jesus. The striker has attracted the interest of Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester United over the past year.

Everything we know about this year's Met Gala
By Christian Allaire September 11, 2021
Fashion's biggest night of the year returns on September 13th this year as a smaller, more intimate affair. Here's what you need to know
The 2021 Met Gala is fast approaching on September 13th. Typically held annually on the first Monday in May, the Met Gala—aka fashion's biggest night of the year—returns on September 13th as a smaller, more intimate affair than in years past. (The soirée was canceled last year, and postponed to this September, due to COVID-19.) While it may look a little different this year, there will still be a red carpet filled with fabulous fashions and celebrity sightings.
So, ahead of the big bash, here are all the details we know about the event thus far—including what the theme is, who's cochairing it, what the Costume Institute exhibit will entail, and what we can expect to see on the step and repeat.
What is the Met Gala?
The Met ball, or Met Gala, is the fashion world equivalent of the Oscars. It's an evening when designers, models, and Hollywood stars convene in the year's most over-the-top looks to celebrate and fundraise at a new exhibit from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. Typically, everyone dresses to the theme, and according to the feel, of the exhibit; past themes have included camp, religion, punk, and more.
When and where is it?
The 2021 Met Gala will be held as an intimate gala on September 13, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

What's this year's theme?
The 2021 Met Gala is focused on celebrating all things American fashion. Andrew Bolton, the Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of the Costume Institute, felt it was time to reexamine American identity and fashion, especially as it has changed over the last several years due to both political and social justice movements. "I've been really impressed by American designers' responses to the social and political climate, particularly around issues of body inclusivity and gender fluidity, and I'm just finding their work very, very self-reflective," he told Vogue. "I really do believe that American fashion is undergoing a renaissance. I think young designers in particular are at the vanguard of discussions about diversity and inclusion, as well as sustainability and transparency, much more so than their European counterparts, maybe with the exception of the English designers."
What will the exhibit look like?
The Costume Institute will actually present a two-part 2021 exhibit, "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion" and "In America: An Anthology of Fashion."
Part one of the exhibition, "A Lexicon of Fashion," will open on September 18 at the Anna Wintour Costume Center at the Met, marking the Costume Institute's 75th anniversary. The exhibit will be organized to resemble a home, with intersecting walls and rooms that will establish what Bolton calls "a new vocabulary that's more relevant and more reflective of the times in which we're living." Pieces from Christopher John Rogers, Sterling Ruby, Conner Ives, Prabal Gurung, and Andre Walker will be featured in part one of the exhibition.
Part two, "An Anthology of Fashion," will open on May 5, 2022, in the period rooms of the museum's American Wing. Bolton and the museum's curatorial team will work with American film directors to create cinematic scenes within each room that depict a different history of American fashion. (A second Met Gala will also take place on May 2, 2022, to mark the opening of "An Anthology of Fashion.")
Who will be this year's cochairs?
Every year, the Met Gala has a number of cochairs who help host the event. For the 2021 Met Gala, Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Amanda Gorman, and Naomi Osaka will cochair the affair, while Tom Ford, Instagram's Adam Mosseri, and Anna Wintour will serve as the honorary chairs.
Olivia Munn, Lili Reinhart, Nicki Minaj, Ashley Graham, Jourdan Dunn, Odell Beckham Jr. and Janelle Monáe all wore H&M to the 2018 "Heavenly Bodies" themed gala. Photo: Getty
Will there be a red carpet?
Yes! While it's a more intimate affair this year, to follow COVID-19 safety protocols, there will still be a step and repeat happening on the iconic Met steps. Get ready to take in all of the bold, outré ensembles.
Is there a formal dress code?
Yes. American Independence is the official dress code listed on the invitation for the 2021 Met gala. Expect this to be translated in more ways than one, though—from flashy star-spangled outfits to classic gowns made by American designers. With the Met Gala, the number one rule is to always expect the unexpected.
Who's invited to the Met Gala this year?
Part of the fun of the Met Gala is not knowing who will show up! Designers typically invite the buzziest celebrities of the moment as their guests, so you can expect some big Hollywood names on the carpet.
Can I watch the Met Gala?
Yes: Vogue will be broadcasting the only official livestream from the event, providing unprecedented access to the splashy event. Beginning at 5:30 P.M. EST, the livestream can be viewed here on the night of, and it will even be hosted by two special guests: Actor and recording artist Keke Palmer, and actor, writer, and director Ilana Glazer. Together, they will provide unprecedented access to the Met Gala's famous red carpet, interviewing high-profile guests as they arrive in grand style.

Q: Prove that the image of a set is closed and bounded Let $f:A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^m$ where $A$ is closed and $f$ continuous in $A$. Prove that $D \subseteq A$ is bounded then $\overline{f(D)}$ is closed and bounded
We know that $\overline{f(D)}$ always is closed but I think maybe using Heine-Borel Theorem we want to show that $\overline{f(D)}$ is compact I woul appreciate any advice.

A: Note that $\overline D\subset\overline A=A$. Besides, since $D$ is bounded, $\overline D$ is bounded too. So, $\overline D$ is a compact subset of $A$. Therefore, $f\left(\overline D\right)$ is compact too, and so it is bounded. In particular, $f(D)$ is bounded, and so, $\overline{f(D)}$ is bounded too. Sinse it is a closure, it is also a closed set.

The Torture Never Stops
Frank Zappa's New York Halloween 1981 concerts were filmed Live at The Palladium. This 'thing' entitled "The Torture Never Stops" was created in its entirety by FZ from the original concert production and intended by the Artist as one of 3 Television Specials. This is the longest version of the three - the others, "You Are What You Is" and "Dumb All Over", having actually aired. Halloween was Frank Zappa's favourite holiday, and New York was the site of Frank Zappa Halloween concerts for years! The billion and a half airings by MTV of the concerts (non-edited) followed on closely from the release of the double album "You Are What You Is" in September of that year on Frank Zappa's own recently founded and thoroughly independent label, Barking Pumpkin. Much of the set list is drawn from that work. All Frank Zappa shows were unique experiences with Zappa on guitar and baton, leading his band on flights of improvisation and drawing ever more intense performances from them. "The Torture Never Stops" cements Zappa's reputation as one of the most innovative and challenging composers and performers of the 20th century.
The Love We Make
The Love We Make, a film directed by Albert Maysles and Bradley Kaplan, follows Paul McCartney as he journeys through the streets of New York City in the aftermath of the World Trade Centre's destruction. Chronicling the planning and performance of "The Concert for New York City," the benefit concert that took place less than six weeks after the attacks, the film also features performances and backstage moments with other performers and actors including David Bowie, Steve Buscemi, Eric Clapton, President Bill Clinton, Sheryl Crow, Leonardo DiCaprio, Harrison Ford, Mick Jagger, Jay Z, Billy Joel, Elton John, Stella McCartney and Keith Richards.
Elton 60: Live At Madison Square Garden
Elton John celebrates his 60th birthday by playing his 60th sold out show at Madison Square Gardens in 2007. Featuring a host of celebrity appearances and well-wishers comprising Whoopi Goldberg, President Bill Clinton, and Robin Williams to compliment an extravagant 33 song set list. Includes the hits 'Rocket Man', 'I'm Still Standing', 'Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting', 'Tiny Dancer', 'Your Song', and 'Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding'.
Down The Tracks -The Music That Influenced Led Zeppelin
As recent events have proven, Led Zeppelin continues to be one of the biggest bands of all time. Along with Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, they are often cited as the Godfathers of Heavy Metal. But there was more to Zeppelin than just heavy riffs. Led Zeppelin's first album serves as a blueprint for what would follow in the rest of their career. "Led Zeppelin 1" showcased an eclectic mix of styles that would set them apart from their contemporaries. There's a huge debt to the Blues music that they loved so much, which was the initial common thread for Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, with artists such as Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters proving particularly influential.
This fascinating program tells the story of the music and artists that have influenced the legendary British Rock pioneers, Led Zeppelin. Down The Tracks continues to examine how the group created their mighty stadium rock sound that helped define the musical backdrop of the '70s, while influencing virtually every heavy metal rock band that came after them.
Features live music clips from songs performed by: Son House, Howlin' Wolf, Bukka White, Muddy Waters, Davey Graham And many more. Watch the live music that influenced Led Zeppelin, and learn about the making of one of the best Rock and Roll bands of all time.

As his friend John Lennon once said: "George himself is no mystery. But the mystery inside George is immense. It's watching him uncover it all little by little that's so damn interesting." 'An epic, fitting tribute to the complexity and genius of the man himself.' MOJO 'Spectacularly good...' THE WORD

1974 was a year of high achievement for Queen. They had their first two hit singles, 'Seven Seas Of Rhye' and 'Killer Queen,' released two albums, 'Queen II' and 'Sheer Heart Attack,' and completed major tours across the UK, America and Europe. In the UK, they performed three sold-out shows at the legendary Rainbow Theatre in London's Finsbury Park, one in March on the 'Queen II' tour and two in November following the release of 'Sheer Heart Attack'.
Live at the California Jam 1974
Deep Purple were the biggest selling album act in America when they embarked on a 28 date tour promoting their new album "Burn". The undoubted climax of this tour was headlining the California Jam Festival at Ontario Speedway in California, in front of 200,000 people. Their explosive set is presented here on DVD for the first time. The set list includes tracks from "Burn", as well as classics like "Space Truckin'" and "Smoke On The Water".
As the show came to a close, Blackmore - angered by troubles backstage - took his revenge on one of the TV cameras, before exploding his amps and destroying several guitars. It made for a visually astonishing climax to the set, and almost got the band banned from playing live in America again.
Live at Knebworth 1990 - Volume I
Rockshow
In 1975 and 1976 Paul McCartney and Wings undertook the epic Wings over the World tour, the largest scale tour they would ever undertake as a band. From this tour came both the legendary "Wings over America" triple live album and the concert film "Rockshow". Although filmed on this tour at the enormous Kingdome in Seattle, "Rockshow", originally a cut down version of the concert, was not premiered until November 1980 in New York and April 1981 in London. This is Paul McCartney and Wings live on stage in a concert that is destined to live forever!
Mr. Mojo Risin': The Story of L.A. Woman
"Mr. Mojo Risin': The Story of L.A. Woman'" is the story of the making of the Doors' last album with Jim Morrison, "L.A. Woman". 2011 marked the 40th anniversary of the album's release and this program goes into detail of how the album came about, its recording and what was happening to the band at the time. The story is told through interviews with Ray Manzarek, Robbie Krieger and John Densmore plus contributions from Jac Holzman, founder of their label Elektra Records, Bill Siddons, who was their manager, Bruce Botnick, engineer and co-producer of the album and others associated with The Doors at this time. The show includes archive footage of The Doors performing both live and in the studio, classic photographs, and new musical demonstrations from the Doors. "Mr. Mojo Risin': The Story of L.A. Woman" is part of The Doors Digital Festival on Qello Concerts: www.QelloConcerts.com/vip/TheDoorsDigitalFestival
The Doors Digital Festival is a curated collection of concerts and documentaries of, not only The Doors, but also of other artists that fans of The Doors will love.
Live in Texas '75
Filmed at The Summit in Houston, Texas on November 20th, 1975, this film captures a typically incendiary live performance by The Who at the start of the US leg of their tour in support of "The Who By Numbers" album which had been released earlier that year. The original video footage has been cleaned and the sound remixed by longtime Who collaborator Jon Astley but the show still retains a rawness that encapsulates the energy of The Who's performance. The set list stretches across the band's career from classic early singles such as "My Generation" and "Substitute" through an extensive "Tommy" section and up to tracks from the then newly released "By Numbers".
The Moody Blues were formed in Birmingham in the early sixties and were immediately successful, going to No.1 with their second single Go Now. As the sixties progressed, their music evolved into a more lush, psychedelic sound, and with the arrival of Justin Hayward and John Lodge, the classic line-up came together and produced the masterpiece Days Of Future Passed, which contained their classic hit singles Nights In White Satin and Tuesday Afternoon. The resulting level of success propelled the band forward. This show from July 1991 is the band's only Montreux appearance to date. With a line-up including John Lodge, Justin Hayward, Ray Thomas, and Graeme Edge, the exceptional performance includes classics such as Gemini Dream, Question, Isn't Life Strange, I'm Just A Singer (In A Rock And Roll Band), Your Wildest Dreams and of course, Nights In White Satin.
Live in Detroit
Guitar hero Peter Frampton performs his greatest hits and favorite new numbers in this video, recorded during a stop at Detroit's Pine Knob Music Theater in the midst of his 1999 summer tour. Peter Frampton: Live in Detroit features Frampton and his band performing 16 songs, including "Show Me the Way," "Do You Feel Like I Do?," " Lying," "Oh for Another Day," and "Off the Hook."
Live 30th Anniversary Concert
The 30-year history of Wishbone Ash has hardly been smooth, with numerous personnel changes and gradually fading popularity since the band's most acclaimed album, Argus, was released in 1972. What you'll witness here, then, is an inspiring and altogether good-natured example of survival embodied by original Wishbone guitarist Andy Powell. Looking youthful at 50, his formerly long hair now shaved off altogether, Powell remains a virtuoso ax-man, matched by fellow ace Mark Birch (temporarily filling the shoes of the departed Ted Turner) to recreate Wishbone's signature twin-guitar sound. As the sole survivor of Wishbone's original lineup, Powell happily presides over the group's considerable legacy, epitomized here by outstanding performances of the Ash classics "Phoenix" and "Blowin' Free." The concert's a no-frills affair with an occasionally uneven mix, but the music comes through with clarity and gusto, reminding us that Wishbone Ash's unique blend of musicianship remains influential some three decades later.
Live at The Bowl '68
On the 5th of July in 1968, The Doors took to the stage of the Hollywood Bowl for a concert that has since passed into legend. Now, for the first time, the original film footage from the Hollywood Bowl has been digitally scanned and restored to present the show better and more complete than it's ever been seen before, with two previously cut tracks returned to the running order and with sound newly remixed and mastered from the original multitrack tapes by The Doors' engineer and co-producer Bruce Botnick. This is now the definitive edition of this famous performance. Live at the Bowl '68 is part of The Doors Digital Festival on Qello Concerts: www.QelloConcerts.com/vip/TheDoorsDigitalFestival
Live at Wembley 1978
The Electric Light Orchestra are one of the most successful British bands of all time. Formed after the break up of The Move in 1970 they pioneered the integration of orchestral instruments into pop music and released a series of groundbreaking and increasingly successful albums through the seventies that culminated in the multi-million selling Out Of The Blue. This concert is from the world tour for that album and was filmed at Londons Wembley Arena in 1978.
Going Back: Live at Roseland Ballroom, NYC
This concert sees Phil Collins take his superb new album Going Back into the live arena. Filmed in June of this year in the intimate surroundings of New Yorks famous Roseland Ballroom, this is a real chance to get up close and personal as Phil Collins faithfully recreates the soul and Motown classics that he loved as a teenager. His band includes three of Motowns original backing band The Funk Brothers: Bob Babbitt on bass and guitarists Eddie Willis and Ray Monette, as well as two stalwarts of Genesis live shows: Chester Thompson on drums and Darryl Stuermer on guitars.
From The Vault Hampton Coliseum Live In 1981
From The Vault is a new series of live concerts from The Rolling Stones archive, which are getting their first official release. Hampton Coliseum Live In 1981 is the first title in this series. The Rolling Stones American Tour in 1981 was the most successful tour of that year, taking a then record $50 million dollars in ticket sales. The tour was in support of the critically and commercially successful 'Tattoo You' album. There were fifty dates on the tour, which ran from Philadelphia at the end of September through to Hampton, Virginia on the 18th and 19th of December. The show on December 18th, which was also Keith Richards' birthday, was the first ever music concert to be broadcast on television as a pay-per-view event. The footage has now been carefully restored and the sound has been newly mixed by Bob Clearmountain for this first official release of the show.
The Dance finds Fleetwood Mac rekindling their late '70s magic on stage with mostly successful results. Old friends and sparring partners Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie harmonize and take turns in the spotlight, backed as before by the sturdy rhythm section of John McVie and Mick Fleetwood. Performing in a stripped-down format, the group reconsiders its past with a sense of perspective — Nicks in particular adds something new to signature songs like "Rhiannon" and "Landslide." Buckingham acquits himself well on the always odd "Tusk" as well as such fresh tunes as the ferocious "My Little Demon" and the Appalachian-accented "Bleed to Love Her." Christine McVie acts as a leavening force, rippling sweetly through "Say You Love Me" and gliding high on the new "Temporary One." If there's a centerpiece to this set, it's Nicks' "Silver Springs," a devastating break-up ballad denied a spot on the Mac's landmark Rumours album. The inevitable (but still welcome) "Don't Stop" brings the set to a rousing conclusion.

Despite such lofty goals and high-sounding words the country is still very much divided over its purpose and ideology. Fundamentalist Muslims maintain that the nation was born in order to establish an Islamic state, but the question has always been, how much Islam is enough? Her leaders are under constant pressure by radical groups pursuing Islamization and full implementation of shariah (Islamic Law). Though logic might imply that Islam is failing its people, the common citizen argues that Islam is good; it is the people as Muslims who are bad. Pray for the leadership as they try to deal with tremendous diversity that God would grant them wisdom and justice. Pray that the blood of Shahbaz Bhatti would not be in vain and that God would use this cruel and inhumane act for the furtherance of the gospel. Pray for the protection and strength of Pakistani Christians against whom this unjust law can be used so viciously. Jesus alone can provide peace and security in this divided land!

The scene at the now-dissolved nonprofit Earth Advocates, also known as the Earth Animal Sanctuary, in June 2019 in Thawville.
Corinne N. DiLorenzo, 38, of Will County, founder of the now-dissolved nonprofit Earth Advocates, also known as the Earth Animal Sanctuary, charged in December 2019 in Iroquois County Circuit Court with aggravated animal cruelty alleging she 'intentionally caused the death of multiple companion animals, including dogs, cats, pigs, rabbits, birds, goats, raccoons and turtles.'

Woman facing charges for ties to 'horror story' at Thawville animal sanctuary
Will Brumleve | Ford County Record
THAWVILLE — Last summer's discovery of hundreds of animal carcasses in shallow graves at a Thawville-based nonprofit animal sanctuary has led to its founder being charged with aggravated animal cruelty.
Newly unsealed Iroquois County Circuit Court records show that the Class 4 felony charge was filed against Corinne N. DiLorenzo, founder of the now-dissolved nonprofit Earth Advocates, also known as the Earth Animal Sanctuary.
An Iroquois County grand jury had previously returned a one-count indictment against the 38-year-old Will County resident, alleging she "intentionally caused the death of multiple companion animals, including dogs, cats, pigs, rabbits, birds, goats, raccoons and turtles."
According to the Will County Sheriff's Office, DiLorenzo was arrested on an Iroquois County warrant on Dec. 24 and was released after posting 10 percent of her $10,000 bond. Her first court appearance is set for 9:30 a.m. Jan. 23.
An online petition demanding DiLorenzo be criminally charged was launched last summer, after the carcasses of hundreds of animals that had been rescued and surrendered to Earth Advocates were found at the sanctuary's property at 109 S.W. Park St. in Thawville.
It was last June when Melissa Pena, a former board member for the Earth Animal Sanctuary, and two others visited the property, discovering "nothing short of a horror story," Pena wrote on the sanctuary's Facebook page.
"There was an oblong-shaped ditch filled with bag upon bag upon bag of the remains of dead animals," Pena wrote. "There were the remains of pigs that had been dragged out on a tarp or blanket and dumped in the hole. We saw skulls and bones of large pigs, medium-sized pigs, goats of various ages, cats, dogs, birds/waterfowl and rabbits. There were small bags inside of larger garbage bags as well as bags that contained multiple species of animals.
"We saw various states of decomposition. There were layers of animals, and after about an hour of ripping through bags with my hands, I couldn't do anymore.
"I know that I have never thrown any of the animals I have ever loved in a ditch like they were trash," Pena added.
'Humane care' citation
Even more carcasses were found in a follow-up visit. There were no live animals found on the property, other than a couple of feral cats.
To date, nearly 700 animals given to the sanctuary have been either found dead or are still missing, according to Jodie Wiederkehr, executive director of the Chicago Alliance for Animals.
Following a suspicious fire at the property in September 2018 — in which pigs, ducks, geese and chickens perished — the Iroquois County Sheriff's Office began investigating complaints about the welfare of the hundreds of animals that had been rescued and brought to the property, investigative reports show.
DiLorenzo's ex-fiance told investigators that about six months prior to the fire, "the animals just started dying off" for unknown reasons, according to a police report.
While visiting the property, investigators found unsanitary conditions in DiLorenzo's home, where multiple animals were being kept, and ordered her to clean up and make various repairs to her home in order for her son to be able to return and live there. They also issued her a "humane care" citation after finding two malnourished pigs with "skin issues" believed to be caused by straw mites in an outbuilding.
DiLorenzo denies claims
Wiederkehr said she was pleased that Iroquois County State's Attorney Jim Devine found the animal cruelty case serious enough to charge DiLorenzo with a felony. Wiederkehr said she hopes DiLorenzo is convicted and receives the maximum punishment allowable by law. Penalties range from probation to up to three years in prison.
"For as many animals that are missing and likely dead, she deserves more than a slap on the wrist," Wiederkehr said. "She deserves jail time, and she should never be allowed to ever own or be a guardian of an animal again. ... She should get the book thrown at her."
DiLorenzo, who at one time worked as an independent Aflac agent at the Abbe Insurance Agency in Buckley, told the Ford County Record last summer that the allegations of animal cruelty were unsubstantiated and slanderous. Attempts to reach her for this story were unsuccessful.

1. The main concept of openfree is nothing new.
It has been perhaps the default protocol of any human/animal/biological/machine information property ever developed on Earth.
Animals learn how to acquire food and find new paths to destinations by observing other animals' behaviours.
Ancient people borrowed books and copied them to keep them for themselves (see Ancient Book Copyright). The contents' copy rights were implicitly transffered to the copiers. Or, there was no 'copyright' at all.
This particular openfree biolicense advocated by a group of people we call BioPeople started in the 1980s . This was directly and subconsciously from the broad tradition and culture of East Asia where book contents and information property was regarded as public and to be shared unless governments have strong regulation rules (such as knowledge on gunpower production in China and Korea). This was partly due to the high barrier of learning Chinese letters in ancient times. Anyone who could copy and learn difficult Chinese letters were usually welcome to the intellectual community although there were some class issues depending on the dynasties and kingdoms.
In 1990s, when the Internet became widely available, many software packages were pirated by poor students, poor nationals, media pirates, and other criminals.
Except the professional pirates and criminals, most piracy was for personal productivity, trials, or interest. This caused some people develop shareware, freeware, and opensource schemes to benefit both developers and the illegal users. Around this time, all over the world, some software developers, in IT field, who knew the value and works of software, proposed opensource and sharing copyrights. Famous examples are GNU and various shareware and freeware licenses.
In the mid 1990s, in Cambridge, England, a group of bioinformatics experts maintained an open and sharing attitude toward using softwares. In general, biologists had sharing attitude toward various softwares and data from biophysics, genetics, bioinformatics, and genomics. This indirectly resulted in an openfree scheme for IPs in biology. Also, the term BioLicense was coined around this time. Freescience.net domain was set up (however, not much used) to support such an openfree principle in pursuing science.
Perhaps, the first successful major openfree and biolicense based product was BioPerl. It was followed by BioJava and a long list of BioXXX (Bio[.+)] projects. Unlike present GNU derived licenses, the first BioPerl's copyright was completely openfree. I.e., no copyrights and no writerights. Anyone who changed a single character in a datum or a source code could own the original material.
By late 1990s, many BioProjects had been proposed by many bioinformatists all over the world independently and as a connected mind network both consciously and unconsciously.
The relationship between openfree and biolicense.
BioLicense is openfree. An openfree sharing attitude and strategy resulted in BioLicense.
The reason why "openfree" and "BioLicense" are distinguishable from other sharing intellectual license is that it is based on the philosophy of bioism. All biological beings are regarded as information processing objects (acting subtects or units). Therefore, the copyright on any inoformation, knowledge and data can be a serious issue persisting in our information universe. It is a matter of our existence.
Therefore, openfree (and BioLicense) is about freeing such biological information processing existents as well as enhancing knowledge exchange for faster advancement/condensation of the biological information world or the biouniverse.
In the early 2000s, openfree and BioLicense schemes started having a more systematic internet domain network. This biodomain internet network is comprised of many Bio- domains such as Biomatics.org, biopedia.org, biosophy.org, Omics.org, and biofoundation.net.
In the mid 2000s, the people (biopeople) who advocate such openfree license are trying to suggest the ideas and expand the community for freer and more efficient world of knowledge sharing for future generation biological information processors (including men, animals and machines). As one of such efforts, the Biopeople held the first openfree BioWiki contest.
BioLicense is not a new concept and nothing special. It can be extreme to some people. It does not have many people advocating right now as perhaps the concept is not specific enough.
The concept of Openfree can be practically useful for many lay people when they want to utilize bioknowledge for education, research, and business. The core of Openfree is openning up everything and make everything free with full freedom.
The openfree BioLicense will be used for the BioBrain when humans and machines can communicate instantly in a gigantic information processing brain. BioLicense is, therefore, not only for humans but also for the future generations of biological objects, machines. It is designed for machines who want to share knowledge.
Yes, it is different. It does not advocate the 'creation' of any knowledge by one or a small number of 'original' 'founders'. There is no founder who is original and creative under BioLicense.
Openfree usually means there is no "copy" right imposed by the authors and contributors. However, BioLicense is an extreme case of NO write right.
In other words, the authors do not maintain their 'write' right or intellectual properties and give away the so-called originality and contribution to the world free of charge. It is under the philosophy that no human intellectual product is actually "created" and originated by one person. BioLicense implies that all the human knowledge processes are the results of mutual copying, sharing, adding, modifying, and synthesizing existing words, meanings and concepts under deterministic rules of the universe called "biogrid".
No rights are reserved and BioLicense enables any information object to do anything to any intellectual properties under it.
Biolicense does not regard data, information, and knowledge as a conventional property.
